Hello, the internet, and welcome to Season 13, Episode 3 of Das Daily Zeitgeist! January 10th, 2018. My name is Jack O'Brien,
Starting point is 00:02:10 a.k.a. BoJack Hostman. Critic of Kyle Welch. And I'm joined by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. Gray, my name, gray, my name. When no one is around you, you listen to the Zeitgeist while you try to change
Starting point is 00:02:25 Thank you so much, Nappy City Giant, for that, a.k.a. You know I like singing, because I'm a repressed singer at heart. The guitar playing was great, too. Thank you so much. That was actually, I'm not going to lie, that wasn't an actual nylon string guitar. That was playing a Korg Triton, and that was MIDI. So anyway, just full disclosure.
Starting point is 00:02:45 I don't know what any of that means. And we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by returning guest and the host of the just-launched podcast, Culture Kings, Edgar Montplaisir. Boingo, Boingo. Hey-o. Boingo, Boingo is back.

How are you feeling? I'm feeling good. It's launch day. Yeah, it's launch day. Culture Kings. First episode is great. Twitter is loving it. And by Twitter, I mean that one dude who's been tweeting by the minute of every minute
Starting point is 00:03:14 of the podcast. Really? Blowing up my timeline. Which is dope. Live tweeting the podcast? Like literally every minute, he's had an opinion about it. Hey. Good or bad?
Starting point is 00:03:22 They're all positive. Oh, good. That's great. See, there you go. It's also 40 tweets. yeah so r.i.p your mentions uh edgar what's something from your search history that is revealing about who you are oh i looked up you're my darling you're my angel from uh uh that shaggy song i was arguing with my friend which one came first whether he said you're my angel then you're my, whether he said, you're my angel, then you're my darling, or if he said, you're my darling, you're my angel. I was right.
Starting point is 00:03:48 He says, you're my angel, you're my darling, but then he says, angel after darling. What is that song about? I don't know. It's about the afterlife, I believe. He's just in love with a dead body. Edgar, what's something that's overrated American shows on Netflix shows that Netflix makes that are in America are overrated
Starting point is 00:04:13 like what well I don't want to say Master of None so I'll excuse that one but Disjointed oh my god terrible The Ranch Ozark you don't like ozark no i don't really like ozark i tried to get everybody was saying like hey ozark's really good i got through
Starting point is 00:04:33 the first episode and i was like oh that was cool and then i just lost momentum it's like uh you have you ever had baked lays like when they like no because i'm not a fucking psycho exactly that's ozark for breaking bad fans oh shit like yo you want breaking bad light yeah right the stakes are real low it's like we gotta move to this weird lake town it's a comedian from a sitcom but now he's a bad guy in a family drama you know what shows are crazy though and i was thinking about maybe even doing this on a segment because i watched the weirdest shit on netflix like stuff i didn't even know existed there's a show called under arrest and it's like the canadian version of cops Thinking about maybe even doing this on a segment because I watch the weirdest shit on Netflix, like stuff I didn't even know existed. There's a show called Under Arrest, and it's like the Canadian version of Cops. And it was clearly shot in the 90s. But for whatever reason, they package it now.
Starting point is 00:05:13 It is the most raw. Like, there's fun stuff of, like, really polite. Like, one thing is the cops are so polite to the people. I'm like, yo, this is amazing. This is a fantasy show. Then there are some fucking savage incidents. I'm'm sorry you might have to bleep this out this dude straight up tried to uh let me how do i put this very scientifically castrate himself with a tin can lid and they showed everything this is on netflix this is on netflix well that's what i was gonna say my
Starting point is 00:05:40 underrated thing was any international show on netflix shows that they pick up they're insane like i was just watching end of the fucking world that show is dope as fuck and like i think netflix has a really cool plan where they like buy up all these like english or dutch shows from their networks and just put it out to americans because they don't have access to it and that's some great content out there that we're sleeping on oh you got to watch people just do nothing it's not a netflix exclusive but that's a show they did real quick they took from the uk and put out out here they won a bafta last year shout outs to my boys at corrupt afam uh sepa hugo all y'all just do nothing people just do nothing is about it's like the office but for like the garage music
Starting point is 00:06:19 scene so these guys are like they have a pirate radio, and the one dude is like an MC, and then his boys are like the DJs. I'm into it. It's like they're the most broke-down dudes trying to get in the game. So like every, they're just, it's just done at such a low level, but the stakes are so high to these guys. And like they're really, they really did the mockumentary well. So it's dope. I'm into it. That sounds so much better than Disjointed already.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Oh, yeah. I'm Disjointed. They're doing a second season. Man, they're going to do like eight seasons of it, bro. Really already oh yeah i'm just i can't they're doing the second season man they're gonna do like eight seasons of it bro really it's i don't know i i can't stand it i thought people why are americans like we have this opportunity to use this streaming platform to do anything like you know what i mean like there's no one stopping us netflix is really chill and the best that we can offer is disjointed and bright. That hurts my feelings. Right, right. Getting emotional?
Starting point is 00:07:06 I just can't. Edgar, you're the person who watched all of Mindhunters on the first day that it came out. And then came in and were like, you haven't seen Mindhunters? Dude, I thought you had a job here. What's wrong with you? You made me feel. Went home. I was like, god damn, I guess I got to watch this show.
Starting point is 00:07:23 It was good, though. There are some exceptions, then. There are some exceptions. Anything that David Fincher has his hands on is good. Favorite TV show of all time? Of all time? Yeah. The Wire.
Starting point is 00:07:32 Yeah. Okay. That's definitely a good answer. And just, I want to shout out to my girlfriend for being an idiot and not wanting to watch past season two. That's crazy. Wait, what? Past season two of The Wire?
Starting point is 00:07:44 She finished season two and said, eh, this show isn't for me. I'm like, it's a mistake. It's a mistake. Keep going. She's like, why was it at the docks? I do love the twist at the end of season two. But season four is my favorite. I watched season four before I watched any other season.
Starting point is 00:08:01 I'm sorry to spoil it for everyone, but the twist at season two is that white people can't carry a story. All right. We're trying to take a sample of the ideas that are out there changing the world. We talk about pop culture, the news. Just try to take the temperature of the global shared consciousness
Starting point is 00:08:17 of the human species. We talk about tabloids because those headlines are being dumped into the brains of millions of people every day in the grocery aisle. We might have to start talking to super producer anna hosnia about the bachelor uh since that is apparently uh everybody watches the bachelor besides me um but we like to open up by asking our guest what is a myth what's something uh that everybody seems to believe is true that you know to be false?
Starting point is 00:08:47 Well, this one is very personal to me, but I'm not African. I'm not African at all. I'm also not African-American, but a lot of people will stop me on the street and be like, oh, hey, like, you know, like start trying to talk to me and stuff like that. I'm like, are Uber drivers? I'm like, I'm sorry, dog. I'm from Haiti. Yeah. You're not Nigerian. I not nigerian uh i'm not yeah i'm not jalaf rice nope not at all uh you're not even fufu and banku i'm closer to hispanic than i would be to africa like just in terms of like haitian culture and right right right they eat and the stuff that they do and y'all sharing the island with the dr exactly uh
Starting point is 00:09:24 but yeah like and now it's also something that like, man, Haitian Independence Day was depressing to like, see like people like post up like pictures of like Black Panther and be like, Haitian Independence Day, it's got me so excited for Black Panther. I'm like, Black Panther is in Africa. Haiti is here. It's, we could go there. People just don't know where it is or know anything about it right right right it hurts first independent black nation and nobody knows
Starting point is 00:09:51 where it is well see now you put people on the game that's right look it up tucson so haiti not in africa not in africa i am not african please stop asking me would you say that you're like ancestral what's the fucking it. Would you say that you're ancestral? What's the fucking word I'm looking for? Yeah, I mean, if you trace it. You're a descendant of Africans. Of course. Clearly. Of course.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Of course. But national, you're not an African national. No, I'm not. What I mean is I'm not an African national. And I don't know. I mean, people do get into the debate of African Americans a lot. It was a debate that my family got into over Christmas, which ended up so nicely. We all hugged and kissed at the end.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Wait, what do you mean? What debate? Whether Haitian people are African-Americans or not. It's like a very big debate. Jamaicans also are in this debate because I think the way that we think about it is African-Americans are descendants of American slaves. Right. That would be my understanding too.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Exactly. You are Haitian because you come from Haiti. But my brother very, very much so disagreed to the point of mere violence. My little hugging and kissing. Do you feel like it was diminished by saying you're Haitian-American versus African-American? He just feels like, yeah. I guess his argument is that by nature of it, we are also descendant of slaves. They just weren't American slaves.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Right. So why shouldn't we also be African-American? Haiti isn't America. But I think African-American implies United States of America. That's at least to my understanding. That's what I feel like it implies is United States of America, not America at large. Because if that was the case, then Mexican-American wouldn't be a thing. Well, look, these are debates that are meant to be had in the hall yeah they're great debates
Starting point is 00:11:28 on thanksgiving uh any white family go for it i give you permission to try to have that debate and not end up in violence should we move right to the uh andrew mellon foundation yeah i mean that's that's a good moment because one good news for African Americans is that we are a step closer to finding out a little bit more about our ancestry, our lineage, because the Andrew Mellon Foundation has awarded Michigan State University
Starting point is 00:11:57 with a $1.5 million grant, which will, quote, allow the creation of the project Enslaved, the People of the Historic Slave Trade, which is an online hub that links data collections on slavery and enslaved people from multiple universities. So in a way that basically you can try and find out sort of where your family may have come from. Because before that, I remember when I was a kid and Ancestry.com first came out,
Starting point is 00:12:21 it was always like when my great great great grandfather came over from france right like blah blah blah and now i feel so connected and i was like damn that was cool and then all it took me was a second to be like wait a second uh like i know where my mom's family comes from japan but my dad being black that is a completely it's there's a question mark it was very european specific yeah it was very much so and then so like the only thing we know are like sort of just shared oral histories but now to to think that they're actual like historical documents being like aggregated to help people kind of like really trace their roots i think it's it's pretty big uh so yes uh good news for african-americans i only want to know if that dude from PBS tells me.
Starting point is 00:13:06 That's the only way I want to know. To find out, yeah, like each results package is pre-recorded. Yeah. So what happens, is that the same deal with 23andMe? Like there's just a question mark? Well, no, I mean, that's, I think. 23andMe is like, they'll like give you a map. It's genetics, yeah. Yeah, they can tell you sort of like genetically,
Starting point is 00:13:28 like that, oh, you're sub-Saharan African oran or things like that so how's the ancestry dot com work they like go back and do research and they use documents yeah they can use like immigration documents from like ellis island and things to be like this is how you got here oh well like you know there weren't many receipts for the slave trade or at least none that were like organized in a way that you could actually be like oh wow like we may have come from descended from this person who came off this ship that came from that that poured into this this specific place so that's really interesting because mine wasn't that hard it went right back to my grandpa but that's all that's as far because he's the one who came into the states right right and then my dad came like i could see their immigration documents right but besides that like i couldn't go back and be like, all right, how did we end up in Haiti?
Starting point is 00:14:07 Right. And I think there is one for anyone with African – who are descended from anyone from Africa to find out more specifically what country or what more specific region in Africa you came from. That would be so dope. To really connect you to a country. Right. Which I would really love to do. I'm pretty sure that that is a thing. I felt like Questlove or somebody was talking about it.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Or like I saw a video where like Erykah Badu found out she was like Cameroonian or something. Oh, wow. So the truth is out there. Yeah. All right. Let's move on to big news. Stevie B, Slappy Steve, is out. Not just at the White House. He's no longer running Breitbart.
Starting point is 00:14:48 He has resigned because his financial backers, his Medici family, who are the Mercers, decided that he was too much of a loose cannon. They were no longer going to fund Breitbart as long as he was in charge. And so Breitbart had to let go their main dude. Yeah. Yeah. He had it all. He really did. He thought he was king crap of shit mountain. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:18 And he was like, we're going to turn this whole establishment upside down, blah, blah, blah. How crazy do you have to be to be a loose cannon at Breitbart? I know. That's some wild shit. All you got to do is make the president look wild fucking stupid. Yeah. And that's pretty much the line. He had some choice words about the Trump family, and that got him in all the hot water.
Starting point is 00:15:37 But also, his stock was falling. True. The Roy Moore loss was bad. Very. Losing those gubernatorial races was bad because a lot of people who weren't necessarily running on that Bannonism, Trumpism platform tried it out, did not work well for them. So it's kind of showing like, oh, is this effective anymore? Like I think it was effective to a point, but now it's clearly starting to fade. And you're starting to see the fallout from it because the Bannonism, Trumpism, whatever you want to call it, platform has been really toxic for establishment Republicans.
Starting point is 00:16:19 That's why something like – I'm pretty sure 31 seats in the House are going to be up for grabs because people are retiring or running for a different office. So that's crazy. The Democrats need how many to win? How many of those? 24 seats. If the Democrats win 24 seats in the midterms, then they can take back the House. Like the Senate is obviously much closer. But if we can get the House back, that's pretty big. That's big time.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Yeah. Joe Arpaio, who is the most Bannon candidate of all, has announced that he's running for Senate. So that'll be a referendum on Bannonism and whether Bannonism can survive without Trump. even though this these banning candidates like these roy moore's in our piles like they're like third rail type candidates you really don't want to get near because they say some they're fucking crazy racist right and nobody's here for that i want him to go full in on it though like if he's gonna run like no republicans are gonna back him he's not gonna be honest on the establishment i want his like campaign model to be like niggers do we need them like that's like like go for it like you don't just bring out they're not gonna's like like go for it like you don't just bring out all the right yeah they're not gonna back you like go for it bro like roll up in like
Starting point is 00:17:29 that clan hood and like just be like we're doing this shit i mean he already did the forward for steven seagal's book right you know joe arpaio is a very busy man yeah he'll be the oldest dude he'll be i think he'll be the oldest senator how old is he he's like 84 jesus christ my prediction is that he doesn't even get to election day because there's a profile of him that I think the New York Times did that's just very sad. Like they go to visit him at his house and he's just like waiting for his phone to ring. And he's just like this lonely guy who's like doddering on about how like famous people used to call him and stuff. And it was just like, yo, man, this guy's like, I don't know. It just seemed like this.
Starting point is 00:18:08 It seems, based on that profile, this seems like kind of a desperate move to be like, remember me? Yeah, because was it on the Daily or something where you could hear the audio where it literally sounds like visiting your great-great-grandfather who's in a home? Right. It was kind of like, will you stay a little bit longer oh yeah that's right yeah yeah she said that she had gone to visit him like before and could only get like 30 minutes of his time like 10 years ago and then this time he was like would you stay longer yeah i'm so alone like jesus christ but then i also think about it like i don't know like who's exciting on the Democrat side? Is there anyone like early on who's like pretty exciting?
Starting point is 00:18:47 In terms of what? Like running for senator. Is there anybody cool? In that race, it's going to be – I mean I know the real big fight in Arizona is going to be over that Republican pick like during the primary. Because you have like – we have Martha McSally who's like an establishment. That's who like the establishment GOP people want to be the candidate, not psychopath Arpaio. But anyway, it's just showing that basically Bannon has he blew up the party. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:14 And it's so fractured. Yeah. You have establishment people and then you have straight up psycho ethno nationalist people who like are just running on some trash platforms. ethno nationalist people who right like are just running on some trash platforms um yeah my guess would be no the democrats don't have anyone cool running for senate because senators are just generally not cool the senate fucking sucks that's true that's true all right uh we have to move on to mengazi uh we have quite a few updates actually stan lee Stan Lee, late stage sex criminal up. He was apparently harassing nurses. Is that right?
Starting point is 00:19:52 Yeah. Like asking the women who are around him at this point. Trying to grope him and asking for head in the shower. This should not be a surprise. His role in every single Marvel movie is creepy dude. All he does is like, hey, I'm being creepy in Iron Man. Right. I'm being creepy in the Hulk.
Starting point is 00:20:10 It's just interesting because when I was thinking it was Sophie, our project manager, she was like, yo, Stan Lee. And I thought, oh, my God, is there about to be like a history of crazy Stan Lee shit? And it's just him and his senility, just old men not being able to control themselves. Right. And it's just like – it's just him and his senility just not having – old men not being able to control themselves. Right. Yeah. I mean it's similar to George H.W. It's like how should we feel about this? Is it just like he's kind of lost the ability to control himself but at the same time I feel bad for those women.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Yeah, I mean how do you correct a dirty old man? Right. You take a page out of The Giver and you just put him down. What? Y'all never read The Giver? They do a party and they kill the old people. Oh, whoa. So you send out Stan Lee.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Like, what's Stan Lee given us besides cameos in Avengers? Yeah, I mean, he did his thing. He did his thing. He gave us all the source material. If y'all don't want them. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he's past his prime. He gave us all the source material. If y'all don't want them, like, you know what I'm saying? Like, he's past his prime. Yeah, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:21:07 All people should be put down and shared for food. Not all of them. But if they're in their senile years just grabbing people, like, hey. Yeah. Or just, you know, like, confuse the shit out of them and, like, give them, like, robot nurses. Absolutely. They think that are human or something. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:21 Well, that's just, that's giving into his desire. Yeah, I don't know. I just, you know, what do you do? What do you do when someone goes into senility like that? It's like, you'd imagine that that's because they have diminished mental capacity. It's not because they're like, I mean, maybe they, they always had these urges lifelong. And then finally, like they don't have the faculty to, to do that. I don't know. Me Too movement has gone too far and they're, you know, they don't really get into specifics. I guess they say that, you know, men are being forced to resign because they put their hand on someone's leg and like sent people sexual texts. Like almost as if like, can you believe it? Right.
Starting point is 00:22:22 It's kind of weird. I don't know. We wanted to bring in super producer Anna Hosnier for this discussion. Anna, I mean, what do you think of this letter? I know you read it. I don't think it's good. Thank you, Anna. All right.
Starting point is 00:22:37 And that was super producer Anna Hosnier. I find it very tone deaf. Like they're missing the entire point of the movement. Right. And to say – so there's this quote in the letter that says, Men have been sanctioned in their professions, forced to resign, etc. When their only wrongdoing was touching someone's knee, trying to steal a kiss, talking about intimate things during a professional dinner or sending messages with a sexual connotation to a woman who wasn't attracted to them.
Starting point is 00:23:10 That is all inappropriate behavior. But it's only four of them. It doesn't matter. It is that. Yeah. I should feel comfortable at my workplace that someone is not allowed to creep on me in any sort of way so that statement itself just to me i think explains that they just do not get it well it seems also too that she's almost talking about
Starting point is 00:23:32 society at large not the the way men and women are interacting in a professional workplace setting right like because it's like this whole like it's we're slipping into this puritanical thing and sexual expression we can be lost like yo express express yourself as sexually as you want to, like outside of work with consenting adults. When you're at work, be fucking professional. Nobody is here to see your dick. Nobody's here to get pushed into a fucking refrigerator and get fucking assaulted. Like what? I don't I don't understand that.
Starting point is 00:24:01 And also, let's let's be real here. Catherine Deneuve is like a Roman Polanski defender, too. She's not quite the I don't understand that. And also, let's be real here. Catherine Deneuve is like a Roman Polanski defender too. She's not quite the – I don't know. I don't want to like – I get – no, I don't get what she's trying to say. It sounds like a respectability politics a little bit. Kind of like – it's like the same thing when black dudes are just like, you know, I get pulled over all the time. And I've never been shot by a cop. It's like them saying like, you know,'s like them saying, you can just not say anything
Starting point is 00:24:26 and just put up with it and be a strong woman. It's just like, nah, I believe that they should have the right to go to work and just chill and not have some old dude talk about what dress they're wearing and ask them sexual questions and shit like that. Yeah, that doesn't make us prude. That just makes us
Starting point is 00:24:41 professional. I'm here to make my money and go home and not have an old man touch my shoulder and give me a massage. Or try to steal a kiss. Yeah. That's absolutely inappropriate. Didn't she say that Roman Polanski, like the word rape should not be used? She said, I always found the word rape was excessive in the case of him raping a 13-year-old girl at a party in L.A. So does the 13 year old girl
Starting point is 00:25:05 what was a better word than rape like surprise surprise sex like what the fuck does i mean i don't know i think i think it's it's uh i wonder i also wonder how much of it is i i didn't get a look at – or I didn't know who all the actresses are who have signed on to this. I know it was – A hundred. A hundred of them. They include journalists, filmmakers, writers, and intellectuals. It seemed like Catherine Deneuve was the biggest name though, which is why – like even when I look through articles trying to find who these other people were, like sort of a cursory search, like hers is the one who you see all the time pop up.
Starting point is 00:25:44 So you got a pop album coming out yeah right exactly yeah i'm curious what the average age of that list is because i mean i understand that france it's a very it's a country that's you know they they're into their sexuality they're the good cool you can be as sexual as you want but that doesn't lessen our right to not want it in the workplace like we just don't want it yeah it's not forced on you well of course in the culture like yeah people in europe are much more affectionate in general and public than americans because yeah this is a lot of puritanical belief systems have you know have come into this country and spread in our culture but yeah all we're saying is don't fuck around when you're trying to work when you're trying to be professional and don't leverage your power in the workplace to take advantage of a woman
Starting point is 00:26:29 or man or whoever you know that's what the issue is and i think i don't know if she's conflating that with something i don't know i i it's hard that's the thing is to say any of that is okay that will escalate to tell a man it's okay if you steal a kiss from me at work. That's not ever going to end well. Right. Like that. If you tell a dude, what is it? Well, I won't get into that, but I just. Are you going to say if you give a nigga an inch?
Starting point is 00:26:56 Is that what you were going to say? I got you. She was going to say if you give a nigga an inch. I think you would say if you give a moose a muffin. Great children's book. Pick a pancake all i'm saying is you can't set that kind of precedent and expect it not to escalate in a way that will be incredibly harmful towards women and even men in the workplace so steal a kiss will be in the
Starting point is 00:27:18 steal some head yeah exactly i'd read that book's like, if you give your boss a kiss. There was also some Benghazi action on Colbert with his interview about James Franco.

Starting point is 00:30:38 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream 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
Starting point is 00:31:22 involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and then 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 iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. So I wanted to talk about this story slash defense I've seen from conservative outlets like Drudge. It's great again, colon, and then like stocks rocket to an all-time high or basically saying that now that Trump is president, the stock market is outstanding and all markets are presidents since I think FDR, maybe even before him, like where the stock market started and then how it did during their first year. And under Trump, the stock market picked up by 27 percent, which is really good.
Starting point is 00:32:49 It's actually the fourth best of modern presidents. Truman is third. And Obama is actually the second best ever. Only what, to FDR? Yeah, only to FDR, who was coming out of the – Literally out of the ashes. Right. But Obama brought it up 33 percent, which is kind of crazy because – so they say that mostly your first year, you're kind of coasting off the momentum of the previous administration. Obama came into office during a financial crisis, and you actually see during the first uh you know couple months of his
Starting point is 00:33:27 administration the stock market is trending down and then all of a sudden it just turns around he like pulls it out of a fucking tailspin and it ended up going up 33 percent which and way more when you look at like how far down it went, like two months into his administration, Trump's has just gone steadily up ever since he took office. And people have speculated that's probably just, you know, he's not totally fucking things up that were going well under Obama, which that's not the message that I had been getting based on, you know, some conservative outlets. Well, you got to hype your boy. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:34:08 Like you got to make it look like your boy was responsible for it, even though he wasn't. And I think that's kind of what's annoying about this whole, like great again thing is that they're taking these things that Trump has nothing to do with and attributing it to him. Like, you know what I'm saying? And it's just,
Starting point is 00:34:22 it's just propaganda at this point, really. Yeah, totally. If, if the, if the stock market is doing so good, how him like you know i'm saying it's just it's just propaganda at this point really yeah totally if if the if the stock market's doing so good how come you know his polling numbers his approval ratings are in the shitter right so that's the other thing is that there's never been somebody who's had this good of an economy and this good of a stock market who didn't have just outstanding uh approval ratings oh like they're just completely upside down? Yeah. Right. And his approval ratings, like he has somehow managed to become way less popular as the stock market has continued to go up. Yeah. I mean, aside from reforming the tax code, I don't see much real action coming from this
Starting point is 00:34:59 administration. Right. So it's hard to say that this is a continuation of the previous administration, like that. It isn't a continuation of the previous administration. Well, I like analogies and I'm going to go ahead and use one right here. I think Trump is like someone that you're in a relationship with and the sex is
Starting point is 00:35:18 good. It's very good. It's enjoyable sex. But the moment that sex is over, he opens his mouth and he starts talking and he starts saying shit he starts making jokes this is you having sex with a man yes and it's great i mean the sex was great and then he starts talking he starts saying shit he's like making jokes here and there he starts eating big macs all the time
Starting point is 00:35:42 in bed just yelling at the tv i like analogies too but this one is really distracting because i'm picturing myself having sex with it's all good man keep riding out keep riding out till we get to the end he's spilling food all over the bed all the time and then just like yeah i have to go i got work in the morning and you're like hey do you want to hang out with my friends like now i'm out golfing all the time i'm golfing and then it's just like yeah this sex is good but everything else about this dude is trash. And I think that's exactly how the American people feel. It's like, all right, this economy is cool, but I can get good economy from somebody else.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Somebody else can give me good economy. But sadly, not everyone is experiencing the benefit of this economy. It's people that are trading on Wall Street. These things haven't actually trickled down, to use a shitty phrase, to the general population where they're like, holy shit, man. My fucking boss, yo, they changed minimum wage in my state. Or I have better health care. I don't know. It's hard to say.
Starting point is 00:36:37 How do you equate that with the improvement of quality of life for people that aren't in the top 1% or the people? Because I think, I don't know what the stat is. Do you know what percentage of Americans actually even trade on the stock market? It's something like 35% or 40% or something, isn't it? Yeah. As of 2013, the top 1% of households by wealth owned nearly 38% of all stock shares according to research by NYU. So 99% is fighting over the potential benefit of the remaining.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Right. So it's hard to say like potential benefit of the remaining. Right. So it's hard to say like, yeah, those are cool numbers, but that hasn't affected me in any way. So it's hard to say that, wow, like we owe this all to him or whatever. I mean it's – these are cool figures that are indicative of like how the economy is operating but i don't know if i feel like a quality of life index kind of thing would be more effective to like judge how maybe people are feeling about their own lives especially for such a populist president like for someone who like campaigned on populism yeah for someone who's just like out like i'm gonna make all of your lives better and it's like dope it seems like you're only making your friends better no absolutely like dope it seems like you're only making your friends better no absolutely yeah i mean the uh tax the tax cut did see some initial gifts to employees from at&t uh but then at&t like fired
Starting point is 00:37:53 a whole bunch of them yeah like a month later haha i don't know it's like a fraction of what their profits are and like a fraction of what they spent on lobbying too so right right right um yeah so i don't know i i agree that agree that quality of life seems to be something that we should be kind of keeping an eye on. Let me ask you all a question. Would you all rather have a chill president with a bad economy or a trash-ass president with a great economy? The looming threat of him killing us all is I would basically trade that going away for almost anything. So you would rather have a cool partner who gives you bad dick than have a trash-ass partner who gives you the best dick you ever had? As long as you're not putting me at risk. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:43 You know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. Because he's giving everybody that dick. Well, no. He came back into bed with as you're not putting me at risk right you know what i mean yeah yeah exactly because you know he's giving everybody that dick well i mean back into bed with me i don't see it don't put me it's amazing bro no look the idea that even uh that i've read articles that he is trying to figure out like a bloody nose strategy with north korea like i'm doing a very like pinpoint strike in north korea but like not induce a war is crazy to me. I don't even want anybody who's even fucking thinking like that. Like, well, yo,
Starting point is 00:39:08 no, no, no. Yeah. It's almost like I'll be selling with an abusive spouse. I will be celibate. Yeah. He's great all the time.
Starting point is 00:39:16 And then sometimes he almost kills me. Yeah. Right. That, uh, all right. There's a good analogy. It's a killer analogy.
Starting point is 00:39:25 And then there is the Trump story. He had this bipartisan meeting about DACA where he wanted to have the cameras come in, show him kind of presiding over a meeting and being important. And that ended up backfiring a little bit. He was in there basically trying to be like, hey, we need border security. I need $18 billion for this wall that I said Americans wouldn't pay for, blah, blah, blah. And he's like, and that's how we'll get DACA done. And then, you know, Dianne Feinstein, she hit him with the Jedi mind trick and basically got him to say that he was open to a clean DACA bill
Starting point is 00:40:03 just to make sure to protect these dreamers, and then we can move on to comprehensive immigration reform. And her trick, this is how she pulled off her mindfuckery. She said, I don't know how you would feel about this, but I would like to ask the question, what about a clean DACA bill now with the commitment that we go into a comprehensive immigration reform procedure? Trump goes, I have no problem. That's when all the Republicans in the room went, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa room i'm sorry my man's does not know what the fuck he's talking about do not take that uh as a quote i'm pretty sure the white house struck that line from their transcript of the meeting yeah because
Starting point is 00:40:34 they don't want him on wax saying like he has no problem with a clean docket bill it was just kind of a funny moment where you could tell he didn't know what side he's playing on yeah he wasn't following the conversation kevin mccarthy had to like fully step in like a nanny and was like, Mr. President, I think you need to be clear though. I think that Senator Feinstein is asking you, like he had to really make sure he knew what was going on.
Starting point is 00:40:55 So, so clean DACA bill just means nothing else attached to it. Yeah. Like let's just, let's just vote on this. Let's get this done and then let's move on. Then let's really talk about comprehensive immigration reform. He got middle school got.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Yeah. That's crazy. It's just funny that his whole like he cannot be by himself with Democrats because he'll probably agree to a lot of stuff without people reminding him what platform, what side he's on ideologically. My goodness. He just wants to be liked. I get that. I'm that way sometimes. So also during that meeting, that was during the same meeting.
Starting point is 00:41:29 That was during the meeting. So also during that meeting, DiFi, as Miles calls her, dropped the GOP's big scheme to discredit Christopher Steele and Fusion. Yeah. discredit Christopher Steele on Fusion. Yeah. While she's talking to him, her office releases the full transcript of the testimony of the Fusion GPS
Starting point is 00:41:52 co-founder Glenn Simpson. To put it very simply, last week there was an op-ed by the guys at Fusion GPS that were basically saying, please release the transcript. You will see what we said and that will show you that the senators know the truth as we know it, as we know it to be true, but are still saying something completely different, which is this idea that because Fusion had a Russian client for a completely unrelated project, that they were somehow connected to the Steele dossier and Hillary Clinton creating it.
Starting point is 00:42:20 And so by releasing the transcript that shows like once and for all, this is the testimony that they gave to these senators. So what they're saying is completely counter to what they told them, and they are just spreading blatant misinformation about the origin of the Steele dossier and how the Steele dossier may or may not have affected the FBI's investigation, which in the transcript, they note that when Christopher Steele approached the FBI, the FBI said, we already know. So that's the reason why Chuck Grassley – it's easier to push this fake bullshit when there's no proof. There's no record of it that people can read. And if you keep that in the dark, then it's easy to be like, well, that's what we know. And now that it's out, it's hard to – now, how are you going to defend that? that it's out, it's hard to know how you're going to defend that. And to top that off, right, Lindsey Graham made the first criminal referral of the entire Russia investigation to investigate Christopher Steele when there's no reason to at all.
Starting point is 00:43:14 That's purely just posturing to try and reinforce this narrative. They're like, well, we're looking into Christopher Steele because, you know, he looks like a shady guy. And that's why she's like, no, look at this transcript. Like, look at what they came in and said. There's no reason to look at him. There's none at all. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:28 They were saying that he lied to them about possibly what he told to the media or something. But basically the whole strategy on the Republican side is to tie this investigation up into in looking at shit that doesn't matter so that nothing happens of substance and when you and when you couple that with michael cohen uh trump's lawyer who like suing buzzfeed and fusion gps for this dossier you know they are sweating like why why what's with this full frontal attack like that if if if it's all bullshit, like it's, you know, they're showing their hand. All right. We're going to take a quick break.
Starting point is 00:44:07 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.

Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these... We have, we think, Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.?

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. All right. I wanted to talk about the Starbucks story. There's a Starbucks in the Atlanta area where a woman who worked there posted on Facebook.
Starting point is 00:48:22 She worked there, posted on Facebook. I think she was a black woman, and she posted that she was spitting in white customers' drinks and putting blood in the jelly. Yeah, like dog feces in the hot chocolate. Right, of children, of white children. So she posted this on Facebook, and it went viral. Lacey, what are you doing? And it went viral and that Starbucks had to close down because they were getting death threats towards this woman who, it turns out, was a fictional character. No.
Starting point is 00:49:00 Made up by some hoaxsters. And this is something we saw. We were following during Hurricane Harvey. We were not only following the hurricane here at the Daily Zeitgeist, but we were also following this trend where people were creating fake accounts of looters. It was like – The Houston loot crew or something like that. Yeah, Houston loot crew, Harvey loot crew harvey loot crew and it was you know clearly people trying to talk like you know thugs and looters and like saying like just ridiculous shit and um it was so clearly a concoction of people who are definitely not black right because based off the tweets it was like they i think they heard like a old mace album gang gang, gang, gang, gang, gang.
Starting point is 00:49:45 We're going to pick up a world. It didn't even have gang. No, no, no. You have to even go back 20 years. Yeah, yeah. It's like me and my boys are about to go loot. Right. P-O-Y-Z.
Starting point is 00:49:55 Me and the cats. Yeah. Right. It was really bad. So this is a trend that we're seeing where people on that side of things are – The racist side of things. The racist side of things are posting fake stories and hoaxes. And this also happened with Comet Pizza in Washington, D.C.
Starting point is 00:50:29 And resulted in somebody bringing an assault rifle and firing off three shots because he was there to save the children who they had alleged. There was this big hoax alleging. Democratic pedophile sex ring. Right. That was being run out of this pizzeria. Yeah, it's their grass. What was that nigga thought he was going to do? Just shoot the whole place and walk out with the kids?
Starting point is 00:50:45 I think he was going to ramble the shit out of that place. I'm here for the kids. I'm going to save these kids. We're going to go with the man with the big-ass gun. He's here to save us. It's wild. Yeah, I don't know. It's just... What is their intention for doing these things?
Starting point is 00:50:59 Because I remember I saw one maybe two years ago where a lot of people were coming at this white woman for yelling at a black barnes and nobles a worker about not having a specific book from an author and like she's like yelling at her and ranting at her and everyone's just like see the white woman can do this and they can act out and stuff like that but what it turned out was it was a fictional character and she was promoting a live stage version of misery so So it was a woman pretending to kind of be like Kathy Bates' character and stuff like that. And that just turned into a bunch of people just being upset with her and being like, this is – white women act like this all the time.
Starting point is 00:51:37 They're so mad. So are any of these people characters trying to promote something? No, this is definitely not viral marketing. I think this is purely to stoke the flames of of racial hatred like to just be like you see you see black people are working at starbucks and they're shitting in our hot chocolate they're bleeding our jam and they're spitting in our coffee and see and that's why we can't trust them still like i feel like that's that's the only purpose something like this serves yeah it's just to create more it's just it's ridiculous it's just
Starting point is 00:52:05 trolling of the highest order i mean unless this is the worst viral marketing campaign for coffee bean like i have no idea like how he'd be sitting there be like yo we got this time bro yo we got them niggas but i yeah i think it's just it's just straight up it just you know they're they're exploiting people's racial distrust. Well, I got to applaud that effort. That's so much work. You know what I'm saying? That's so much work to go in there and do that.
Starting point is 00:52:30 That's the thing. I was surprised back during the Harvey thing that they were putting in that much work and kind of doing this whole – it was just a lot of forethought and planning and just – it's kind of doing, because it's hard to it's hard to know that something is fake. And, you know, people aren't going through and fact checking people on Facebook. So, right. We'd also seen this story where somebody was talking about how fake news and shit wasn't as big a deal as people assumed, because only six percent of the stories read by the average Trump voter were fake news, essentially. But I feel like that's misleading because that 6 percent are stories that have been made up for a reason. They're being made up to have a very specific effect on people. And you question and it forces you to question legitimate journalism or question your actual reality.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Right. And when you look on Facebook's like biggest, most viral stories of the election, a lot of those were fake. So I don't think that was just six percent. It was like most of those stories like that had been read way more than any of the big, you know, bombshells that Washington Post had dropped and the New York Times had dropped that were actually based on reporting. A lot of those were fake. So just because it was only 6 percent of what they had read doesn't mean that it had a 6 percent effect on their mind share.
Starting point is 00:54:02 No, because even when I would see things that were blatantly fake, I was just like, wow, this atmosphere exists out there. Like people are operating in this atmosphere, even if they don't believe it, right? It creates the idea that there are people who believe it. And I think that's just as dangerous. I mean, those people, that's my friend's mom. Like, you know, she'll post like those stories. Like, I'm pretty sure my friend's mom was one of those people who would post that Starbucks
Starting point is 00:54:23 story and be like, look at what they're doing and look at this like what do you have to say about this and this is like this is from news.blogspot.com like what are you doing like you know i definitely think i'm not surprised by right it's uh again i don't i don't know it could this could this could also just be straight up like russian trolling too like because like you know if you think about the stories that were being pushed by a lot of these like like that uh russian agency that troll farm were very like specific sort of things to like enrage like people with racist tendencies right and this feels like a very similar thing just to create more you know it just causing more tension it's just come on how much do you think these troll farms cost man they said what did they they did it with like a few million.
Starting point is 00:55:07 I might try to push them to like get people to talk about Nickelback. I think that the hate against them is too much and maybe these trolls can help me out. I agree. You know what I mean? Jack Roger. I'm not saying that they're good. I'm saying they're great. But I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Let's chill back on the hate. All right. That's all the time we have uh real quick uh wanted to correct myself on the buffalo bills thing since this is the most pushback i've ever gotten on anything in the history of oh yeah also people were coming at me i don't watch the fucking nfl everybody out there i don't have a fucking opinion so don't don't leave me the fuck alone leave my family alone you guys uh You've come to my house. No. So I was only half watching that Bills game.
Starting point is 00:55:47 I said the coach once again pulled Tyrod Taylor for Peterman or whatever the backup quarterback's name was. He was pulled. See, you're getting in trouble again. He was pulled this time because Tyrod Taylor was hurt. So he had to put Peterman in. I admit that. I wasn't paying enough attention. It wasn't racially motivated this time. was researching the bias against black quarterbacks in the NFL and college football and had just read an article about how statistically black quarterbacks are way more likely to be pulled than white quarterbacks, like after only a couple mistakes.
Starting point is 00:56:36 And then that weekend, Tyrod Taylor, who had something like 13 touchdowns and five interceptions on the season, I think like 13 touchdowns and five interceptions on the season was pulled in favor of this guy, Peterman, who then came in and threw a record-setting number of interceptions in the first half. But, yeah, I cheapened my theory by bringing it up in the context of Taylor being pulled in the playoffs. So I am sorry, Buffalo. I'm a fan of your city. My granddad used to coach there when you had an NBA team. I have a dope Buffalo Braves t-shirt. Shout out to Anita Sirwacki from Cracked Social Media Head.
