I think I would love that. I would truly pay money to go back in time and just sit down. I was so annoying. My friends made fun of me. First of all, they didn't really like rap music that much.

And then I was like three levels deep, like analyzing the lyrics and shit. And they were just like, shut the fuck up. Were you smoking weed at that time, too? Or were you just like in full white boy wonder and they were just like shut the fuck were you smoking weed at that time too or were you just like in full white boy wonder dork just oh man i was real into it just fueled by i was not smoking weed and that's where all my uh extra excess brain energy was going just a backpack full of white guilt love trying to get you in there i love that shit love that shit i thank each and every one of you because as someone who had a career in indie hip-hop in the late 90s and the early 2000s i salute you you put money in my pocket i could not have done it without white

yeah well i mean that's a whole other narrative because hannah's checked out i mean we all know that i mean that's been clear as day and i'm just like now that tells me what i need to know about hannah is that she eats at the rio buffet like she's never been to a classy. She ain't been to the bar yet. Right, right, right, right. You know what I mean? Like she ain't going to fucking Cabron. She's not going to. Yeah, Joe Robichon is out there. No, no. Yeah.

My purse had its own chair. Right. Exactly. That shit was incredible. I got so faded and spent so much money on a dinner, and I will absolutely do it again. The most money I've ever spent on dinner, and it was fantastic. That's, yeah.

Sometimes, yeah, just for the experience, to feel like you're in a scene in a Disney movie. You're like, oh, my God. I felt so rich it was amazing right everything came out with like a special dish and i was like wait which part is the dish which part is the food like when you can't identify which part to eat right they're like oh no no no miss popovich uh you're supposed to wash your hands with that oh oh i thought this was a soup. You got the wet towel. Just wringing it over your mouth. You're like, why are you gnawing on that? It's salt.

And I was like, I thought this was the food. They're like, no, that's a salt rock for you to kiss gently before you have the seafood. Oh, I didn't know. For the faintest whisper of the mountains of the Himalayas in your mouth. Yeah, I just thought you saw me. You're like, give that fat bitch a salt. Like, she'll be happy, you know? Which I would be.

You got, you know, you're about that dolly, big dolly life. Yeah. You seen any good finds and your attempted, you know, pilgrimage slash relocation out there?

Honestly, I'm seeing so much great property, but I'm really nervous right now because I don't want to live in a red state. Why? What's wrong? What's up? What's going on? The crushing reality of this motherfucker is going to camp out in office is like, I just kind of need to know

before I invest in buying property. It's making me really, really nervous. It's something that before I invest in buying property. Like it's making me really, really nervous. Like it's something that I didn't think about before. And obviously because we're in the situation we are right now, I'm starting to get nervous, but there's so much beautiful land. And I've found like two or three places. I'm like, this would be great because the other part of it is I want to get the fuck out of LA. Like they're going to blow this place up. This place is going to explode onto itself any fucking minute now. And right now, honestly, I just want to be in the forest. I want to and right now honestly i just want to be in

the forest i want to be in the woods i want to be where my neighbors are 20 acres away on the other side of my property and if you come onto my land motherfucker i'm going to shoot you i'm going to shoot yeah so you welcome to you you you want the american dream i want the american dream man i'm ready like at home in tennessee i don't see nobody i don't be bothered by anybody and if i see you i'll kill you yep yeah i want like i want to be bothered by anybody. And if I see you, I'll kill you. Yep. Yeah. I want like,

I want to have like little ditches around my property where there's like, you know, trip bombs where if you fucking come over that shit, it's like, Oh man, you came in on the wrong place. I want drones. I want the whole shit.

I want the American dream. Oh baby. Yeah. Cause I want to have weed there. If you want someone, you want someone fun to watch below deck with, uh, I have to recommend the podcast deckheads co-hosted by our very own super producer anna hosnier nick turner one of the great zeitgeist guests uh fun times yeah yeah an episode per or uh one podcast per episode man yeah it's something

i've recently gotten into over this quarantine just because we'll talk about it later, but like I've watched everything. So I'm just like, what's this shit. Okay. What's this? You know what I mean?

Just trying to stumble into something. And that below deck thing is just like, it's fascinating. Cause I'm just like, wow, these people are spending like 30 grand on a boat for three. Yeah. Also like really makes you hate rich people when you watch it.

You're like, Oh right. Half the time. I don't like sometimes you see people, it also, like, really makes you hate rich people when you watch it. You're like, oh, right, half the time, I don't, like, sometimes you see people who are like, oh, okay, these people have, like, a nice windfall. They're trying to do something nice, and they're respectful. Other times, you're like, this is the kind of trash that's, like, blowing around in the 1%,

or, like, you know, 3% that year. Where I'm just like, it doesn't even make me want to go to the Mediterranean, where I'm just like, I'm going to have to fucking go fisticuffs with some dumb bitch in resort wear with a 500 gucci hat like i don't want to do that you know what i mean like i'm gonna be in my target hat you know what i mean exactly i'm gonna have my like you know my hundred dollar you know resort wear and this bitch is gonna try to get in front of me for a bowl of feta cheese and strawberries and i'm gonna have to clock a

bitch and i don't want to do that you know i don't like it but it is fun to watch lydia what is something you think is overrated um overrated i i think honestly everything being on demand um yeah like it was cool before but i've literally been home for four and a half months and i've watched fucking everything like there's nothing like it's not coming out fast enough like there's so much there like yeah i can sort through it and go but it's like now i'm just watching shit because it exists like i've watched so many things i would never normally watch like i'm watching hotel tv at home in my house like oh like the mario lopez shit yeah like below deck fucking Caribbean life, fucking tree house builders.

Yeah. I got house hunters, international house hunters, renovation sucked into naked and afraid. So deep, so deep. I started watching the XL and I'm like, why am I watching naked white people struggle?

Like, what am I doing right now? What is this providing me? And then i watched alone because i thought that that was maybe like a little bit better and that was even weirder uh i don't know yeah alone what is alone watched it alone is a singular person that they drop in the most remote wild ass spot where people shouldn't be like i don't know the canadian arctic uh and then they're like hey uh just see how long you can live here

and whoever lives here the longest wins two hundred thousand dollars or some like minor amount of oh yeah i think i was okay somebody was telling me about this yeah yeah you have to like build shelter from nothing you have to like find water you know what i mean i think you need to bring like 10 pieces of survival equipment or whatever so like a tent that you pick right yeah exactly right right and then you have to basically show the fuck up and show the fuck out so that you don't die that's like the opposite of like the vibe i need right now is like someone's struggling with limited resources dude it was stressing me out i didn't realize why it was stressing me out i'm

like this is literally your worst nightmare like this person is taking what you're doing like into an extreme where like they are alone they know that there's other people around but they don't know where yeah like and they are by themselves but some of them have built some sick ass cabins oh really like it's definitely the shelter game i was like oh word right right you're like okay someone might have a shot here right yeah compared to like what i was seeing on naked and frayed which is like some asshole just leaning fucking bamboo branches against a tree and then being like i'm covered in ants you know why do i have all these bites on my body and you're like bitch because you're sleeping on a bamboo leaf yeah this other guy's like signing a delivery

order for like italian marble for his fingertips he's like yeah just you're gonna lift that right there just drop it right there uh above the wine fridge yeah and the dudes in alone are like uh yeah i've been uh cutting down this uh you know artisan birch and i've been sanding it and i've uh been uh you know cementing it with with with moss and with mud and now i've insulated it with a secondary layer of this and you're just like yo that looks like a for a real cabin and they're like oh yeah because you're gonna live there for months alone oh shit but yeah so fuck everything on demand man i just want to have like six movies to choose from i can't look through 9 000 things anymore and make choices because i can't make good choices anymore i'm not responsible enough like take shit off because it's

the other thing too is like when everything's available i don't want to watch it because everything's available i'd almost be like damn two weeks, that show will be available to watch. Like, it's weird how even just throttling my access to shit will get me to be a little bit more interested. But if it's like right now, it's like a goddamn cheesecake, cheesecake factory menu times eight. And I'm and you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna order the chicken littles every time. I'm not gonna look at the rest of the menu. Exactly. I wish that everything as I watched it, it would just disappear from my queue right right right so it would just be less right because at a certain

point yeah you and it's it's like easy to like memorize like what the home screen looks like on netflix or hulu any of these things you're like i don't know it's probably the same eight things that i'm just not checked in on yeah man i'm just i'm struggling i'm struggling over here because there's also like oh maybe you should just read like fuck off all right i'll read when i want to i don't have a hobby i'm not gonna fucking carve shit i'm not gonna i don't know man i'm a lazy lady tv is my life i just want to sit around i want to smoke weed and i want to be entertained like yeah i don't you, I'll take a walk. Sure.

I don't know, psychologically, it's like a weird psychological experiment where you're exactly right, Miles. I just don't value it. I don't. The second, it's also with music i used to pay like 15 for a cd and now i just don't give a shit about having all the music all the time yeah um i found myself this morning looking at like what's new in august on amazon

But, um, oh my God,

I went back and watched all these nineties movies. That was kind of great. That's the one. Yeah. Yeah. I was just like, okay, let me see like stuff that I missed when I was in college. Cause I was too drunk or high or didn't have a TV and didn't care. You know what I mean? I was just like, huh? Practical magic. For example, I can't believe I didn't watch that movie when I was in my 20s. I would have loved that movie. That would have been my favorite movie. The books, too. Oh, there's books?

I might have to read books. I'm in an audiobook situation right now where I love being read to, where I'm like, why am I reading when you can read to me? You read to me. Yeah. Those Practical Magics would be good for that. I've been doing audiobooks while playing crossword puzzles and not solving any crossword puzzles and not retaining anything it's a good use of just overloading your input circuit like sitting there with drool that's so

funny i listened to gabrielle union's book while i read gabrielle union's book and that was really fun wow oh like a follow-along yeah like oh like so it's like it's like watching a very boring movie with subtitles yeah just reading the whole thing but it was really great because like when i get stoned i have a hard time like retaining the information oh so i'll be reading in my mind somewhere else and i'm like pages ahead. I'm like, bitch, what are you doing? It was good to have her because she was reading to me and I was like, okay, stay on track. She's very entertaining.

Now I feel like we're friends because she told me her whole life story. I have to remember that I don't personally know Gabrielle Union. If I run into her at Vons, I can't be like, hey, girl. You're like, so how's it been? How's it been since everything? What? Excuse you? Who the fuck are you?

Oh, right, right, right. Lydia, what's something you think is underrated? Oh man, water heaters. Guys, you have a water heater in your house, your apartment, wherever you live. That water heater warms up water and then delivers it

directly through your faucets onto your face in the shower onto your back when you wash your dishes and it's hot water is amazing and you don't know what you've got until it's gone you know what i mean as joni mitchell says and i'm speaking out of sincere sincerity because my water heater went out on Monday and I haven't showered since Sunday. And I found out today that this shit is motherfucking broken. So I'm having to deal with a landlord in a pandemic to replace my water heater so that I don't smell like the living dead. Okay. My hair has been braided for four straight days.

Oh, damn. I just want hot water. It's a weapon now, huh? Yeah. That braid, you could break the window or something yeah i'm just like yo this is crazy but it's also like a real like hardcore like cosplay of what it's going to be like to be a homeowner right then like at least if it's a homeowner like i could get it fixed like right now and i don't have to jump through hoops to like get someone to bring and this is the second water heater no this will be the third water heater in this house wow i'm just like can we

go tankless dog what are we doing yeah what are we because it's outside and it gets full of leaves i mean i don't want to bore you guys but all i'm saying is this you are listening to this yeah shower this morning consider yourself blessed you're blessed yeah and also check on your water it i was i remember uh like at my house growing up we didn't really check look check in on the water heater yeah till we had to and we were like oh shit we were fucking up yeah like you could catch so early you're like oh get that fixed now because you'll have a fucking problem in about eight months eight years whatever yeah mine was like covered and surrounded when leaves because it's on the side of the house that was like between the other house so it's like a

part of the house that's completely inaccessible that i don't like pass by daily mine almost became part of like a tree root system that's that's what i have that's pretty much what i have going on that's almost exactly what i have going on oh shit and my landlord's like oh yeah just get the tree removed and i'm like me get the tree fuck off bro just like that how, yeah, just get the tree removed. And I'm like, me get the tree? Fuck off, bro. Just like that? How about, yeah, let me just call a tree service real quick and give that dude $800 to fucking pull this shit out. Okay, say less, fam. Just sign the house over to me. We're good. Straight up.

I was like, you know what you can do? You can use my rent. Yeah, because that's how this shit works. And pay the money. It's cool, though. I'm a sassy bitch. I'm just going to give him a, you know, my rent's less this month because I'm paying out for stuff. So there you go. Do you have, okay. Do you need a place to shower? You know, we can extend numerous bathrooms to you across the city. I know you're

internationally known and locally respected. So I know you're not, you know, I may, I may have to take you up on it right now. I'm just raw dogging it out. I'm just seeing how long I can last. I'm hoping that we can get this shit resolved. Cause the other part of me is just like, well, it looks like Popovich might just need to go get a room at la hermitage for the weekend and fucking fucking stick these feet up and just get some real hotel tv on you know what i mean and shower some old seasons of below deck with captain lee because as of now i'm just training for the navy seals if i get in my shower you know what i mean yeah i guess the tap because the city's warm enough like tap isn't too cold but yeah nobody wants that yeah man i'm no frog man i can't handle that i'm good

also oh this is an interesting question on my trivia night last night this is a question that came up how many push-ups do you have to do in two minutes uh to be able to join the Navy SEALs? I'm going to say in two minutes? I'm going to say 300. Okay. I would just say, would you be able to do correct push-ups that quickly?

Okay, I mean, I think the logic Lydia is applying is like, if you're some super frog man, how many reps are you doing? It should look like a Rough Rider video where it's non-stop right right uh I'll go 100 okay see then it's it's interesting because the wording is just to get to like the buds training you only have to do 50 push-ups oh and I was like what the fuck anyway just things you think about and we're talking about facts about frog I just want to throw that out there. I was thinking like one a second, right?

Yeah, but that's just to get to the point where they torture you so bad. You ring the bell and you're like, I want to go. I would be ringing that bell at like 25 push-ups. I wouldn't. Yeah, I'd be like, oh. Number four, I'd be like, this ain't for me, bitch. No. Yeah. I'm like, is there a special category of specialists for blunt rolling and gutting a swisher without

a blade? I can do that. Yeah, yeah. I'm good. I'm good on that. Yeah. Want to see me crack a blunt with my thumbs? Just real quick?

We should mention, Miles, since you just referenced a trivia night last night, that we won't name names, but you were on a trivia night last night that we won't name names but you were on a trivia night with some comedy luminaries yeah another podcast luminary and unimpressed

you know I'm not gonna you know I just I wish I could see if some people were using the internet to check answers and that's all we're going to say and maybe that's all we're going to say Michelle Obama

I know Barack was helping you and finally Lydia what is a myth what's something people think is true you know to be false or vice versa you know they always say that youth is wasted on the young uh and i don't i don't think that's true i think that's a myth i think that youth deserve the youth uh yeah because when you're young you're young you know what i mean they're like oh they're so carefree and it's like what you're you're mistaking carefreeness for not knowing shit right like that's like that's different like not knowing shit not having the

life experience and just being able to like throw shit out the window like yeah yeah that's what you're supposed to be like when you're young like i skipped that phase because i've been 65 since i was five like i am an old crotchety ass woman like i am now like i'm in the ripest point of my life because i feel like my emotions are finally starting to match what the outside of my body looks like where my crankiness my surliness my like you know inability to adapt and to change quickly is now finally okay because I'm you know before it's like Lydia come on come on loosen up like what are you 70 and I'm like yes bitch I'm 70 I would much prefer to be in a house coat at home right now right but no i'm fucking here in the club with you dumb bitches like you know like i don't like no you know but i had to do that shit because i was like i'm young the youth is wasted on the yacht do you think that's

for people just being like it's the looks that they're talking about it's like is it i don't know because it's true i mean it's all like but it's also kind of the same way where like i think when i was like 18 i was like damn, damn, I wish I was 12. I'd have to do shit. And it was more like this idea without me realizing like, man, you can't do shit when you're 12. You just don't, you just don't like where you're at now. So you just want to go to like another period in time where you felt like you were less

stressed out. Yeah. But I think some people look at it too, like, oh, everything's that, that's possible. But I think, yeah, to your point, like, I think it's a very limiting mindset to even look at how you live your own life it's like you only have these 30 first 30 years to get shit done or live how you want to yeah it's like all the time but i did i was the opposite of you where i was like 12 and i was like god damn it if i i why am i not 21 right now i should have a bank account i could be renting my own place like right i literally thought about shit like that as a child and i now i look back and i'm like i was a weird kid in some

aspects of it because i literally would be like most like little kids would like want to play a game right you're like oh i'm gonna we're gonna play star wars or we're gonna play house and i'd be like no i want to play bank i want to play grocery store and i would spend like all day like setting up an actual grocery store in my bedroom and then just be tuckered out and fall asleep and never play the game i was so into the process i'm like what kind of weirdo am i i was like no i just want to i want to do inventory that sounds like fun yeah let's do some inventory which i'm like that's why you're not here being like okay the california redempt the california refund value on that can let me just put that there okay great like i literally do the same thing with bank where i would set it up and then the California refund value on that can. Let me just put that there.

Okay, great. Like I literally do the same thing with bank where I would set it up and then I would get mad at my friends if they didn't like use the ATM card right or like fill out the form. Like I would steal forms from the bank and like make my friends fill out the forms and they'd be like, this is boring.

And I was like, no, it's not. We have so many forms. Come on, fill them out. And now I'm an adult. I'm like, fuck these forms. I don't want to fill them out. So I don't know, man. Maybe I'm just jealous because I was never super youthful.

Who knows? All right, guys, 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 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.

Back out here giving out interviews. He's like, got to flood the zone with all the content possible. Give me my roses. So he showed up on Fox and Friends to kind of distract from his performance on HBO. And Axios. Does that mean if this becomes becomes like one of those like debt cycles like i gotta get another card to pay off my other credit card i gotta do this under interview to distract from this other interview to distract from this other interview and you're

like every you're like doing interviews for like seven days a week to try and keep so yes this man is on fucking fox that's actually a pretty good description of like how a narcissist like him like just feels about like social media basically like he's always tweeting from a place of desperation like he's always just like gotta gotta tell him gotta let the people know i mean this whole thing you know uh like every terrible Trump interview, it had it all. It had, you know, real willful ignorance, conspiracy theories, racism, anti-Semitism. And we'll get to some of those throughout this sort of analysis of it or whatever you want to call it. Nightmare session.

And he began with sort of like it's weird if you listen you can tell some of the fox hosts when you watch it too are slowly like they used to be like have this like really nice puppy dog energy when he would speak like oh yeah oh and now everyone's kind of like doing that thing where like their parents said they would get that thing for christmas for like 10 years straight and they keep getting the same promise so their faces are just sort of like blank now and they're like right so that's what's going on all right um so this first question um they were asking or not first question they were talking about many things he started off talking about hillary clinton it didn't make sense then uh bringing up a great point about the pandemic right and voting and

what that means for his base too because it's not just democrats that vote it's republicans and fox and friends was making this point not to get so narrowly sort of focused on like just smearing the potential for fraud and mail-in ballots but also like make it feel like voting is safe because there are also republicans who do go out but are also concerned and man the way he way he just puts those fears right to bed. Looking at the pandemic, seniors and those with underlying conditions are most concerned about voting. They could be the most patriotic person in the world. But even your age bracket, Mr. President, they're concerned about going out in a crowded area. And it's legitimate.

So having said that, what does the administration plan on doing to make it easier? So having said that, what does the administration plan on doing to make it easier? More poll sites, clean teams, demanding more places and more areas in the financing to do that. So if we admit there's a pandemic and a hurdle, what do you plan on doing at it if mail-in voting makes you unsettled? Brian, all of those things and more. All of those things. And remember, November 3rd is a long way. That's a long way.

The numbers are coming down very rapidly in Florida. They're coming down in California. They're coming down in Texas. They're coming down. Those three places shot up, and those numbers are coming down. So by the time we get there, we'll probably be in very good shape. Yeah, all those things and more. shape um yeah yeah all those things and more it's so wild that they're just like and here we'll give you the answer so that you can say yes to it there were numerous times like when he was talking about second waves like i think he was kill me who's just trying to keep like sort of alley-ooping

the fact that there are second waves happening in other parts of the world and he's like yeah in spain mr president he goes and he's like yeah and i think um in uh germany and they're like in spain mr president and uh italy i mean they're on a wave right now they've got a wave going uh i mean really cool stuff on that i don't know if y'all are on that italy wave yet and um and they were like spain spain spain and he wouldn't say it. So this, again, it's just completely disingenuous. It's not a lifetime away, as he goes on to say later in his answers, like November is so far away. It is right around the corner. And for anyone who works in politics, you're like, it's not a lifetime away.

Especially if you're running campaigns, there's so much that has to be done between now and then um and but all that and more and despite his claims any massive any massive like you know thing that involves like every citizen in the united states like you plan that years and years out like you don't it's not it's not a thing where you're like we're gonna figure it out it's just you know it's a couple months out buy little things they wear masks they'll do masky stuff it'll be it'll be very chill be chill um and even though he says like yeah he says oh the cases are going down here and there the rates are still going up in this country as a whole so let's not lose sight of that devastatingly so yeah And for black and brown people, especially. And I think that's why it's easy to still keep sort of acting like nothing's happening because like relatively

speaking, it's not statistically impacting your base as much. So he then goes on just sort of, they go on and talk about some other things. And Trump, you know, wants to talk about how Dems are trying to ruin him by believing science. I don't know. This is him just sort of saying that, like, the Democrats are playing games, and that's what's really going on out here. The country's in very good shape,

and we're set to rock and roll, but the big problem we have is Democrats don't want to open their schools. They don't want to, because they think it's going to hurt the election for the Republicans, and they shouldn't play that game game they should put the people first but mr president when it comes to the coronavirus roughly we're getting 60 000 new cases a day and a thousand deaths so that's

got people freaked out yeah thanks for that bullshit i just like how even that that's just seem like something like a jonathan swan move like, yeah, you said your thing is like, but you're not hearing me, man. The rates are going up and people are dying fam. That's what people are stressing about. Not this other shit about Dems playing political football with school reopenings.

Cause you're ready to rock and roll baby. That is the wildest thing to me that he's like, this country is doing great. We're ready to rock and roll. In what capacity, sir? In what capacity? Our economy is fucking tanked.

Tons of people are working from home. Families are devastated and torn apart by death. Oh, I don't know. All of our brown and black population is being killed and being fought for. How are we doing okay? How are we rocking and rolling? Pure rock. I mean, obviously we know that that means, in his eyes, he is, because he's talking about white, Republican, rich America.

His America is so small that he refuses to look outside of that and realize, no, dog, no. We're ready to rock and roll like the Beach Boys with Kokomo, the greatest rock and roll song of all time. That and Kokomo. We go down to Little St. Jeff's and then we'll act like we don't know who he is. That's where I want.

So then he finds another way. Then they get on school reopenings. Again, very, very contentious issue. There are, you know, I feel like our teachers again are having to advocate for the children of this country by basically standing up to these school boards and saying,

hell no, I'm not going back to work. You're putting these kids at risk. You're putting their families at risk. Y'all already don't give a fuck about us, the teachers, because you're sending us in here trying to use chewing gum to keep our posters up. Like, that's, what are you talking about? And now, but don't worry, baby. I think people are getting really bent out of shape on this whole kid thing. What I've realized is if they go to the right school, maybe they'll be, but don't worry, baby. I think people are getting really bent out of shape on this whole kid thing.

What I've realized is if they go to the right school, maybe they'll be, I don't, again, he's telling y'all, oh, y'all too worried about the kids when facts don't actually support the idea that they are not superhuman. My view is the school should open. This thing is going away. It will go away like things go away. And my school should be open if you look at children children are almost and i would almost say definitely but almost immune from this disease so few it's they've got stronger hard to believe i don't know how you feel about it but they have much stronger immune systems than we do somehow. So that is fucking dangerous.

You cannot say shit like that on TV that you believe that kids are definite, and I'll say definitely, immune. And then you can see him walk it back. He's like, and I don't know. I mean, you might push back. I mean, I think it's stronger. I don't know how you feel about that. But I already said they're immune,

and people who want to believe that are going to take that to the bank. But people are saying. But people don't know. I mean, if you look at the school, they're there with Charles Xavier for exceptionally gifted children. They all are mutants who are quite literally immune to any kind of human disease. I am just fascinated how he loves to eschew science in any capacity as it relates to this pandemic. Where he's just like, i don't know how you feel about it it doesn't matter how i feel about it how you feel about it how jack feels about it

it's fucking science dude like right you can't just you know what i mean i mean and i mean as he said to to snow the other day you know read the manuals read the books uh i don't know which manuals are oh swan yeah reading um swan did they say snow i'm thinking about john snow um uh but yeah like what the hell yeah it's and i can't um it's just so so uh i just get really worried uh you know because when you have somebody who's so pedal to the metal about like what i believe is what's real and i'm already dealing with not even a full deck of experience like i got three cards worth of experience rich white and man and it doesn't get much more nuanced than that uh we're that that's just puts everybody in a terrible situation and again you look you've seen these photos of some of these high schools

that have already reopened this shit looks like it's 2019 yeah man yeah it is gnarly and that's it's so funny too because that's an existing problem a pre-existing problem right which is overcrowding in schools yeah so it's just hilarious to me that nobody's talking about that too that's kind of being like sweeped under the rug which is like hey this is a problem on top of a problem we've already been treating teachers poorly we've already been shoehorning children into classrooms we already are giving them the resources they need and now we're saying oh yeah and also go back and also they're superhuman so don't worry about this pandemic that's quite literally killing hundreds of thousands of people anyway moving on to his next umbrella academy you know what i mean yeah get them i mean there's that one kid i mean look like they could do all kinds of freaky shit

with their powers and if you get that if you get that one monkey butler you know i'd rather have him than dr fauci he looked pretty cool so then he gets another softball question they figure all right let's let's pivot you know because you're already saying some wildly problematic shit how about this mr president a question you always crush what would you do in a second term? What is your second term agenda? What are your top priorities? I want to take where we left. We had the greatest economy in the history of the world. We were better than any other country. We were better than we were ever. We never had anything like it in this country. 160 million people working. We've never had that before. We've never even come close to that. Best employment numbers, best unemployment numbers for African-American, Asian-American,

women, Hispanic, everybody. The best numbers we've ever had, the best stock market we've ever had, although we're coming very close right now. In fact, NASDAQ is already higher than that number. So a lot of good things are happening. That means be jobs what i want to do is take it from that point and then build it even better perfect did he say at one point that needs to be jobs i don't yeah it was just like random economy words what's it it's like so odd right when you're like how are you going to fix this problem it's like like, I'm going to make it like how it used to be. Right. It's like, imagine if you had a cancer diagnosis and your doctor's like, yeah, don't worry. So it's in early stages.

And what we're going to do is, and how are we going to treat it? I mean, we're just going to make it like it used to be. Right. But how are you going to treat it? Okay. You remember how your body used to be before the cancer? We're going to're gonna make it like that and then go higher and i'd like you'll get me the fuck out of here yeah like that's not an answer that is just you it's he clearly he's just his thinking has not evolved past 2016 right um and like the or or 2017 when he was able to like wave the papers of like look what i

got from the last president in this economy and that it's this like there's no it's like you know honestly i just i'm just trying to avoid a lot of lawsuits in here so don't make it hard right now right yeah i mean that right i i think he just knows one mode and it's the 2016 thing. And that just happened to be what worked for that election. But now it just doesn't seem like, you know, none of this could possibly be what his campaign staff is telling him to go with. Because like nationally, the numbers are that people don't want schools to open, that people are worried about the economy. They're not just like, oh, yeah, it's going to be fine. So I don't know. This doesn't seem like a well-thought-out strategy necessarily. Very.

You don't think? Damn. All right. Hey, guys, I went there. And I just want to lastly leave him with this one, because this, I don't know why the host of Fox and Friends even decided to ask him a question like this,

but I'll just let the question and answer do its own thing. How can we heal as a nation so that we can look at everyone as Americans? As Maya Angelou says, we are more alike than we are different. Well, Condoleezza's 100 percent right. Look, we were really there. We were very close to success. It's called success. We had the highest employment, the best employment numbers ever, ever for the black community, for African-American, the best numbers, Hispanic,

Asian, everybody. But we had the best numbers. You almost yeahian everybody but we had the best numbers you almost yeah you almost think that's the last answer that's his that's his response when they were talking about the racial divide in this country and what they were bringing up condoleezza rice who was saying like i don't like but they brought her up very narrowly to do this thing of like black people all don't have to be democrats like they were really sort of focusing in on this thing like i don't want people to look at me and determine who I would vote for based on my appearance, dot,

dot, dot. Right. And that's when, so then he takes that to be like, and you know, black people had jobs, uh,

even though they were very low paying and they needed multiple jobs. And it was not a lifestyle that anyone would really want, but they had them. Right. Next. It's, uh, so.

Everybody has it. Women, Asians, Hispanic, the Hispanic, Hispanic, right next it's uh so nailed it everybody has it women asians hispanic the hispanics hispanic oh my god yeah so we're american this is yeah so that's what he did this time and i'm sure the i don't know i that's he's just gonna kind of keep looping on these same ideas i think over and over so yeah joe biden also seems to be doing a joe biden impression like the same way that trump seems to be doing like an snl sketch impression of him like joe biden had a weird answer where someone was like a reporter asked him about a cognitive test and he was like come on man like he said literally come on man like three times in his answer also asked the guy if he was a junkie and like if he would be okay with a drug test uh just like wild shit that oh my god um yeah so that's what what's being uh you know talked about on the rate, I guess.

It's not a... There's no depth to any... It's just like him flubbing shit once again and not knowing how to communicate, but it is... Come on, man! What are you, smacked up off that H?

It's so weird, man. Such a grandpa response too, right? That's like the whole problem with him is just like literally you're like kind of cool, but weird grandpa just like showing up with, come on, man. Don't you think? Come on, man. He's also like one of those old people

like you would lean on and be like, yo, tell me what it was like in the 20s, you know, and like hit you with some stories and be like yo tell me what it was like in the 20s you know and like give you hit you with some stories like that but not like hey what do you think of this current thing that's happening and like oh i'll tell you what man uh colin kaepernick ain't black i'm like whoa whoa whoa joe biden what i don't you know another black person with the last name kaepernick i don't know. Anyway, USA. It's like, oh, Joe.

There's a thing that happens where he gets aggressive. He's smiling, but he's speaking angrily. If they could neurologically just implant a chip that would shock him when he gets into that mode. Like that, Joe. You know it's about to go off in a very strange direction. It's like when you're smart and you know your homie's about to get in a fist fight,

but you've been with them enough that you know, oh, he did the thing where he put his drink down and smiled when they just said some shit to him. What was that? Hold on, hold on, hold on. Let's go outside. Hey, bro, you need to close your tab, bro, because there will beipino goons filling this bar up in like 20 seconds uh real quick we do want to talk about uh the third candidate in the 2020 presidential

race kanye west uh so you know uh, still running for president. He will be on the ballot in some States. Yeah. He's pulled out in other places doing his best in other places to get those signatures to get on the ballot. But, uh, he's trying. Yeah.

Trying something. I mean, a lot of it. So it turns out people looked into who the people are who are like backing this candidacy besides Kanye West. And so there's a guy named chuck wilton who is a presidential elector uh for kanye in vermont uh and he will also be an elected delegate for donald trump at this year's republican national convention you don't say yeah and when they're

like so when they're looking at these people like who are bringing these ballots in who are these signature gatherers and a lot of like wonks are like, let's look at some of these like, OK, that's that guy. When they asked when he was asked, you know why he was getting involved, this guy, Chuck Wilton, said, quote, Somebody said that Vermont needs electors for certain people. And it was something I said that I'm more than willing to do. It's like, what? That's so vague. Somebody said that. Who is that?

Somebody said that. Who told you you needed to do this? Because clearly you are listening to someone's orders. Somebody said that electors, they need electors for certain people. And it was something. Yeah. So let's see. Miss Romney at the RNC told me that we need electors for Kanye West to help Donald Trump.

So then in Arkansas, another person looking around, they found a guy, Greg Keller. He's listed as the campaign contact for Kanye in that state. And this guy has been around. He's worked for Mitt Romney. He was executive director for the American Conservative Union. He was executive director for the American Conservative Union. And they also reported in 2015, he was basically up for consideration to run Donald Trump's presidential campaign in 2015 that that possibility came up. So this is a guy who almost ran Trump's presidential campaign and is now helping Kanye West in Arkansas.

Another place in Wisconsin, this journalist, Matt Smith, there's a video of it on Twitter. He's filming this woman dropping off signatures for Kanye's campaign. And they say, oh, any comment? Like, do you know what? Do you want to say anything? They're like, oh, no comment, no comment. Vice News goes on to say, oh, that woman is Lane Ruland. And she is also representing the Trump campaign in a lawsuit against a small Wisconsin television station. And she's also has served as legal counsel for the Wisconsin Republican party in 2014 and 2015. So he's got some career wonks. Okay.

Working on this. Now, I think the sort of angel-eyed view of this is, you know, you're probably have been more adjacent to conservative politics because of your, you know, proximity to Trump. And these are the people who kind of came that you could just sort of summon to help you out with this. Or, uh, there is a vested interest in helping you maybe split some votes in places like Wisconsin where the margins are razor fucking thin. Uh, and who knows? I mean, I think, I mean mean but then it's like a toss-up like are there like donald trump people who vote easy because they saw him wear the maga hat or it's just like straight up idiot like kid hypebeast kids who are just gonna vote so uh there are many ways to sort

of look at but i think yeah there are very cynical ways to see this as well i mean where does this go right like he's not gonna be on every state's ballot no there's not going to be a he's not going to be president of him winning or you know so he like i don't think he will even still be pursuing this up until the last yeah like up until election day so is it just going to be him coming out and saying don't vote for me or i don't know. That's why I'll be like, I don't know. It's hard to draw any conclusions on this because he's already struggling right now, you know, with his mental health. He's clearly like he's having issues at home with his wife and all that. And that's playing out in a very sad public way.

So at a certain level, like I'm not sure who is sort of guiding the campaign and what the vision is from like a purely ground game level. And if that means Republican operatives are like, maybe we can just tell like guide this guy to a way in the way we need and use, you know, sort of leverage his celebrity to try and get some pull some votes away from Biden in certain places. I mean, honestly, that's what it is. Like, I can't see it any other way. And like, it's so sad that Kanye is in a place where he can't see how he's being used in this situation. You know what I mean? Like, and if he didn't already have these pre-existing relationships with Trump, I mean, he wouldn't be getting this kind of support. I mean, I just, this is, there's too many coincidental points here for me to think that this is a coincidence. Like,

it is absolutely not. I think this is a coincidence. It is absolutely not. I think this is a complete diversion, which is one of the things Donald Trump is amazing at, right? He is the king of delusionary diversion, where he is able to stand so deep and so firmly rooted in his delusions. He can detract everybody and distract people and get what he wants. This is absolutely that. And it sickens me to my core to realize that he's doing this. And just the fact that there's race involved there, too, that he's a black man and he my core to realize that he's doing this. And like, just the fact that there's race involved there too,

that he's a black man and he's a black man. That's not in a great place. It's like, he's going to point back to this and say like, look, I helped black people. I helped Kanye. Kanye is my friend.

I know black people. Like he's going to use this as an excuse. And it's just the whole thing. It's effing weird. It's fucking weird. Yeah. Anyways, let's take another 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. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm.

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

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

Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot.

And don't worry, we promise to avoid any black holes most of the time. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining

what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone

involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back. Let's talk Coca-Cola real quick. You know, it's been pretty widely known that, you know, sugary beverages were a big part of the obesity epidemic in the United States over the last 40 years. But there's also been these other camps that come out that say, well, actually, when you look at the science, it's that we're not exercising enough, exercising enough uh which has never made sense because if you look back at people in like the 30s and 20s and 40s when this wasn't a problem and like look at how they were exercising there's there's this video from like the early 20th century of a gym and it's like people with like a conveyor belt that's like jiggling their body back and forth.

Oh yeah. That way. Yeah. So like exercise wasn't even a concept until the seventies. Like people didn't even like know what that meant until the seventies. Like, I know. I remember seeing like pictures of my grandfather being like,

damn grandpa, you had that six pack and everything. I'm like, what'd you do? He's like, I don't know. We were broke. I barely ate.

It's called broken manual labor. Yeah. and like food wasn't that process back then so like i was eating real simple and clean and i'm like oh right like exercise until jane fonda put on some tights nobody knew what the fuck exercising was okay that's exactly right people did manual labor people lifted up their babies people pushed stuff people fixed stuff they had shit like i'm always like looking at the 70s i'm like was everybody just all like like lanky and shit like oh that was cocaine yeah that too right right 80s cigarettes were also seen as very good for you and yeah like that exercise is great for you uh it's good for your health it's a great alternative to smoking like i feel like it's what american culture not smoking weed but like smoking and cigarettes too come on jack come on

hold on jack uh as a paid spokesperson for philip morris i take umbrage with that now what do you mean by that sir well that's a that's a great question that's a great question from Philip Morris, because I think this story really reminds States and to emphasize the importance of exercise and the fact that people aren't getting enough exercise. And it's just, you know, it's like evil 4D capitalism, right? I mean, they got academics on board. There were people at University of Colorado who were funding this study, who were involved in the study, because everybody has a price and academia does not pay people enough and so uh you have these academics who end up you know flipping to the dark side because uh they need the money and coca-cola then is able to be like it's not us man look this study came out but uh right a team of

journalists were able to uncover the fact that this whole thing was funded by Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola is... Delicious. Oh. Sorry. As a paid spokesperson for Coca-Cola, I just had to say that. There's some dark shit in the...

The skeletons in their closet are pretty ugly. They do a good job of covering up the fact that they are the biggest producer of plastic in the environment. They covered up a story about poisoning the water in India. They've been on the murdering side of union disputes, union members and union leaders being killed by paramilitary death squads in Colombia.

And yeah, it's just very dark. The death squads in Colombia thing is really wild. People who were trying to unionize at a Coca-Cola bottling plant in Colombia, the union leaders got murdered. And there's all sorts of reasons. Coca-Cola was either criminally negligent or could have been involved. So, so Jack, I'm just going to run back what you just said. So you said,

uh, Columbia was the place where union workers were killed for Coca-Cola. Yeah. Now I just want to take a little history lesson back in time. So Coca-Cola used to have cocaine in it yes yes a little place called columbia uh is well known as um the producer of said cocaine so it can't i just can't help but wonder um if they what exactly they were processing in that plant and maybe they didn't kill two birds with one stone like how else

do you rally up and get yourself some paramilitary killers if you're not like in a place where you're like oh okay we've long been invested in the cocaine industry and you're in the columbia area like how else do you drop down and build all i'm saying is there is fuck shit is about yeah well i think also too is about a lot of these death squads that were coming out in the 70s and 80s, America trained those people, you know, to be like, yeah, it's like, come to the school of the Americas. Yeah.

Where they're like, we help you put down sort of like, oh, socialisms who are trying to fuck up our checks. Let me show you how to run that. That's my point, is that like we fund drug wars in these companies or in these countries rather. Like it's just,

this is a terrible place you guys the world is on fire the organizers were killed in 1994 and 1996 by the way uh that shit is still going on today it was this is kind of there's a article i was reading just about how like this whole thing about how nestle got japan to fuck with coffee by using Kit Kats. And I was like, what the fuck? There was this, it's because again, you go into like the psychoanalysis that goes into even like consumer relationships to certain products. Like Nestle tried to bring Nescafe to Japan and sort of upend. Japan's a very tea drinking culture at the time.

And now Japanese people love coffee. But at the time, we're not fucking with like Nescafe. Like, what the fuck? Like like what do we got to do and they realized people just didn't have these relationships with the item so coffee was too foreign there was no memory built up about it so they just weren't interested in it so they're like okay let's make coffee candy so kids begin to fuck with the taste of coffee early on and it becomes a treat so when they are at like adult consumer age we have now created a foundational relationship to coffee vis-a-vis these candies we've made that will now get them to become coffee drinkers and like that slowly

coincides with like the rise of coffee and like using kit kats and other you know candies and things like that so yeah i mean like you can even just figure out like okay so we just need to get so it's a slow play we'll get these kids drinking coffee in about 20 years boom no never underestimate the amount of like cleverness and competence science and science that is going into the dark arts of capitalism and of fortune 500 companies like these are the places that are like hoovering up all of the best and brightest that come out of school or like you know these companies who are just designed to find a way to shave a little bit of money off the profit margin or or add a little add a coin to the profit margin like on a on a daily basis that ends up adding to up to billions like

that's a great example the kit kat thing like that's their next level with this shit yeah well the even the person the specialist they deployed to japan i'm like that even just sounds like such an interesting thing to do like he's like a i think it was a french researcher essentially but went there and just sort of like spoke to people, did some analysis and came back and like, okay, so you it's, this is a long play. You just got to get the kids on it.

Right. The adults, it's a wrap with them. Like, what are the smartest people that you grew up with doing right now? Like, are, are the smartest people?

He's probably a co-hosting a middling podcast, daily podcast. You're, you're the smartest person you grew up with? Oh, yeah, absolutely. That's so funny. That's my friends, bro. Ain't nobody fucking with me.

And my friends, I know smart people, but who I came up with, I'm the smartest one. Yeah, me growing up, but there's only probably one other person I think that's smarter than me, too. I'm the same place, Miles, because I'm brilliant. Thank you. That's why we respect each other you know yeah completely right which is why we fill our heads with like fucking 90 day fiance because i think so much i just need the track if we spent half the time watching these reality shows on solving the world's problems i mean we'd live

in a utopia wouldn't we lydia yeah the smartest person i know uh she may or may not be working for the cia all i know is like 20 years ago she told me that somebody might call me from the CIA as a personal reference and to verify her, but then she could never tell me if she got the job or not. But she, I also know that she has a PhD in comparative Persian literatures and is like an expert in like Iranian poetry and all these different stuff. So I'm just like,

I'm pretty sure she works for the CIA and can't tell anybody. Or she just might be a professor of Persian literature, which is like, cool. Did you work for the CIA and can't tell anybody. Or she just might be a professor of Persian literature, which is like, cool. Can you work for the CIA? Awesome. I'm pretty convinced. If you don't get the job with the CIA,

are you not allowed to tell people? You're not. You're not allowed. Like you're only allowed to tell the, like you're basically like, she couldn't even tell me. I guessed it was the CIA. She was,

she was like a government agency. And I was like, and I, you're like, hit this blunt. Yeah. I made this joke. I government agency and i was like and i you're like hit this blunt i was like is i was like are the feds gonna call and she's like kind of and i was like the company and she was like kind of and i was like oh bitch i don't tell him not to call me i was like i don't know if you want to call me i don't i will say actually one of the smartest people i went to school with her name is amelia she was like okay the valedictorian was aaron neal okay and then

amelia she uh she's a brilliant dancer she went to juilliard um she was really smart but she was just a really talented dancer so and i see her now on her ig she just does a lot of art like really cool art so i don't see many people i don't know like anybody who i think the people who probably are you know like all jokes aside who are like super smart they're the kinds of people who i like wouldn't be catching up with on my you know social media or like at a reunion and they're like oh yeah that motherfucker invented dot dot dot he's richer than everybody like oh okay right yeah i feel like a lot of the smartest people i knew growing up are doing you know things that just make people money and don't add any sort of value to yeah right other

than make rich people richer yeah like the super brainy i have a family friend who's a super brainy brilliant math kid uh and then into college yeah, like he just sort of became, he'd become sort of one of those assets that rich people identify and they're like, yep. Okay. I need you to start analyzing this shit. Cause then you won't find some, you won't find some dollars to squeeze out. Uh, and that's what he was doing for a minute. Lydia, it has been a pleasure having you on the daily zeitgeist, uh, where can people find you and follow you? Um, i'm in my house forever um i don't believe in doing zoom comedy shows because i don't like having uh telling jokes

Let's talk about rainbow therapy. Whatever you need, I'm here for you. Boom. Wait, what's rainbow therapy? Rainbow therapy is something I invented. And basically it happens, the prime time is between, I'd say, 3.30 and 5.30 in the afternoon. You need to find a nook in your house where you can hang a prism where it will catch sunlight. And then the sunlight comes through that prism and casts rainbows. And then you put a chair right in that rainbow kind of room.

Oh, okay. And you just kind of spin around and you let the rainbows like wash over you. Preferably for 20 to 35 minutes leading into 420. Then you get high as fuck. And then you sit and stay in that chair. Oh, then you get high as fuck? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You feel it.

You have a sober intro. It hits different. You get your head right. It hits different. Yes. And then you get high as fuck. And then you're like, fuck, these rainbows are ill. I'm a good person.

I made such a good choice today. And you just sit there, and then you just ponder, and you just let the rainbow light flow over you, let that weed go through the that weed go through the system maybe i'll have to hit you up on twitch it would do a live rainbow therapy session you know i am preaching rainbow therapy so hard right now because it works like i'm telling you i've gotten two people into it and they're like i thought you were lying but this shit works i'm like dog i'm telling you well it's important because last time you got me into terence howard's math uh teriology system and that didn't work out too well for me but you know it was interesting nonetheless but yeah man that's me that's my story just living life trying to be free trying to get
