yeah yeah but like yeah because in like in like Harajuku or wherever you'll see a lot of like Lolita fashion people now the pinks and whites have been replaced with that very specific shade of Baja blue. Wow. They see Baja Blast outfits. Okay. Also, I just have to shout out Zeitgang because we kind of had a brief conversation about how the Baja Blast thing is a little bit washed towards the end of last week. And they were like, and that means that it should be every AK for this show. And they were right about that.

Yes. Yeah. What can we do? Yeah. Yeah. We are washed. It is 100 percent. 100 percent washed.

All right. I mean, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. But first, we'll tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. We are nationally at the point that a lot of high school juniors, seniors, college freshmen are at where everybody's looking at that fake ID game, seeing if we have a friend who can make sick fake IDs because apparently you can forge the New York Vax Pass in 11 minutes. Yes.

Real quick. Easy, baby. That's what we were saying. That's what we need. An easy to forge document to a very complex issue that has a lot of civil liberties implications. We're going to talk about the anti-trans bills that are being rolled out at a state level in texas and arkansas just absolute violence absolute like just if they they want y'all to know they're evil they're uh oh 100 because they're not even solving they're not even they can't even point to a problem they're

solving aside from we're just trying to brutalize trans people fuck people up fuck people's lives up we're going to talk about whether police should be armed uh we're going to talk about colton underwood former bachelor who came out on good morning america yesterday if we have time we will talk about the fast nine trailer and we will definitely make time to talk about white claw surge uh all of that what the fuck is that people are acting like it has caffeine in it just because the word surge is attached to it but it's just a surge of alcohol yeah they just double the alcohol there's just like there's gonna be a surge of accidents around uh your house but i don't know right yeah i think i wonder if it's because of the old you know late 90s green soda coca-cola came out with all surge because that

ad campaign we've talked about on the show when it came back around like in 2018 or whatever the commercials were literally teenagers screaming in the streets. Surge! Surge! Like, okay. Yeah, so if I hear surge, I'm not going to be like, oh, it's a gentle thing. Right. A lot of people give 28 Days Later credit for creating the fast zombies, but it was actually surge commercials.

You don't know that? We'll get to all of that plenty more, but first, Ayumi, we'd like to ask our guest what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are hmm so this was kind of hard to choose um i have a safer work and not safer work choice i don't know which one i should be going with definitely not what's what's work? Well, okay. So in that case.

I like that one. Hold on to your butts. So in that case, well, because most of my search history is just like stuff for my own podcast. And then just like stuff about COVID in Japan and, you know, just keeping track of things. like stuff about COVID in Japan and, you know, just keeping track of things. And so the reason thing I had to search for is exercise for sex, meaning like exercise to make sure that like you're physically capable of having sex, if that makes sense. Oh, like being in peak sex shape.

Yes, exactly. Like the training montage before the sex scene and in one's life the rocky of sex well i think it just like for me like i mean like most people but especially for me recently i've just like been dealing with uh kind of change in my just like physical behavior like in terms of uh a job change and stuff i'm at home more uh we never had a lockdown over here by the way um right but uh uh i've been home a lot more i'm trying to like walk every day and stuff but like i've just noticed i'm tired all the time and so i decided to like kind of give that a search and like almost everything is for like like cishet guys so uh it was kind of hard to find something that would actually apply to me but uh i did and

it looks very difficult but uh like i don't know it's like very they're all these like super complicated things that have also i don't know if it's because of the source or whatever that it like has this higher expectation of what your base level is i guess right well so what's the what's the sort of philosophical thrust so to speak miles oh my gosh of like fuck fitness for non-sick because i'd imagine the cis het bro version's like dude you got to get your core in shape or else you're not gonna be fucking pumping jack hammering away get your glutes activated make sure your hip flexors aren't fucking tight you loser and get your really and also don't don't use your back you gotta get your thighs involved too or whatever that like that's how i feel the tone of that article is my kama sutra is men's fitness uh and always has been uh an american gladiator reruns

oh my god yeah i i would say so like i think the one i found was like on cosmo i think and it would or something like equivalent to that and it's just like all kinds of different like stretches and like there's some core stuff also but it's mostly like making sure your body can do all the things i guess and it's assumption is like you're you're you, it's also assuming like straight sex in the first place, but yet saying, oh yeah, your man's going to put you in all kinds of different positions. And it's like,

sure, whatever. Sure. Yeah. High assumptions. But yeah, so it just, yeah,

I just wanted, like, I just was curious to see if there's anything. I know that there is more specific stuff. There's on the This Is Good For You podcast, I think the first or second episode of that podcast was about the cowgirl workout. Oh, okay.

Yeah. What was that? So that's done by, gosh, what's her name? Tayomi. She's like a sex expert and like a i guess um kind of like advice kind of columnist or something like that like she puts i know her from like putting lots of um she she makes like videos online for like explaining how positions work and stuff like that but it's very much like woman focused i would say it's probably more

specifically black woman focused honestly because she is a black woman but it has a lot of stuff that really is helpful for all sorts of people i think but i've heard about her from other podcasts and stuff as well but yes she was on that podcast and so she was talking about that workout and i remember wanting to check it out it was a little expensive and i don't really have that kind of money right now, but yeah. Yeah. But it's, it's interesting that there's starting to be more stuff like that out there for people. I think. Yeah. What is something you think is overrated?

So, uh, overrated. Um, I'm trying to figure out the best way to phrase this, but I would say talent or like the word talent. So this is kind of speaking as an artist. So I got my training like a long time ago, back in high school, primarily I've been kind of drawing on and off, but doing other stuff. I was an English major in university and all these things.

So kind of like art became kind of more of a hobby, but like I still continue to do it, you know, in my free time. And I just get very tired at this age. I'm 30 now, and I'm always hearing people say, oh, you are so talented. Your art is so good. You're so talented.

And art is a skill, just like any other skill, any other trade that you can do. And so it's something I studied to do. I didn't just magically become good at art like I had to work to get good at art I guess so I know that people mean well when they say that but I prefer the word skilled over talented I would say yeah I think because I think it obscures a essential part of what it means to do like any kind of creative art that you engage because I think it obscures an essential part of what it means to do any kind of creative art that you engage in. I think to put that word talent, because I used to have this idea, too, of what art was or what an artist was or did. And it was a person who was just, I don't know, you've got these freaks walking around called artists.

They just can't help themselves but to pick up a brush or a instrument or whatever and they just fucking do their thing it's wild it's like they're like kind of the superheroes of our of our culture in a weird way without really like thinking like no these are all just fucked up people who this is a thing they really like to do and the process of even being creative is like it's never this magical thing where someone's just thinking so originally and they came up with something. And that's why there's like a book I read. It's a very easy read. It's called How to Steal Like an Artist.

That really helps deconstruct this idea that people aren't just iterating on things that happened that they've looked at or were influenced by rather than this idea that like in a vacuum you're uh hit with inspiration and coming up with something so next level and i think that maybe help will help people embrace like their own interest in a certain artistic endeavor like it's like anything it's a muscle you gotta the first shit you're gonna do isn't gonna be fucking good it's gonna be whack but you like it and it doesn't matter and that's the beauty of it is that it doesn't matter you just keep doing it and keep doing it and you get better and better. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I mean, I think most artists like to at some point, you know, we all like like to redraw stuff that or well, not just necessarily draw like any art.

You know, they like to redo the thing that they did before to see how they've grown. It's like the easiest way also to show other people how they've grown. Of course, I draw so differently from what I did like 10 years ago or you know 20 years ago when i was a kid but well i i guess right now i'm more primarily doing like digital painting and stuff like that i do also lots of fiber art so i'm also working in uh starting knitwear design so i knit and i spin i sew a little bit and those are all skills also and i didn't always know how to do those things either right right i mean just looking at the art like when you go to your twitter feed there's like four different pieces of art in your pinned tweet and oh yeah because it was portfolio day yeah yeah it's very like it's encouraging to

me to hear you say that like talent like that it's not just god-given talent because like this is like you it's like you have photorealistic stuff you have like really cool looking like more cartoon influenced stuff. And like, I just feel like people, I would look at that and be like, okay, here's somebody who just woke up and was able to like reproduce whatever was inside their head.

So that's pretty dope to hear. Yeah. Yeah. I still think that my art could use improvement, but I do, I do appreciate hearing that people enjoy my artwork. It's a process, you know, we're never done we're never done you know what i mean i think that's the biggest i think that's the biggest gift you can give yourself as a creative person because yes while we can

always be like i can do better and shit trust me as a japanese person i know i know the shit that can get in our heads specifically around like folk like nailing down a craft and perfecting things because that's part of the culture but i think in terms of like telling ourselves constantly like we're always iterating we're always evolving so what my style is now will not be the style it will continue it's just like you got to go easy on yourself because it's so easy like fuck this should be better fuck it i'm done i'm frustrated because that shit happens a lot and it's very easy to burn out if you're not you know giving yourself they say that like um like just in parenting when the worst thing to do is to compliment a kid on like their natural ability in something and the

better thing is to like treat it as a process where you're like kind of learning and you know yeah make a verb of it as opposed to like a commodity that the kid is like wow you're you really like get math you're really good at math as opposed to like you're doing great in math uh is all right yeah wow look at you you're you're on your way to being a mathematician right yeah but yeah it's true you gotta you have to sort of take out the pass fail good bad binary that exists when talking about things like this because they're not that simple and because of that like look how we we wander into all these sort of toxic ways of thinking yeah yeah definitely that especially goes for things where it's i think people get caught up in this especially when it's like writing or doing doing things that aren't as

like evident outwardly as like being a really being able to draw really cool shit yeah like making music where like feedback is a little more instant right yeah it's tough especially when you got a wham bar uh feedback i don't even think that was you mean whammy bar wham whammy uh i call it wham because we're we're tight we're having a moment yeah uh what is something you think is underrated underrated i think i would say the people who make our fast fashion clothes yeah um if that makes sense so like i just said before i do a lot of textile arts. And I actually one of my main mentors when I was starting in high school was someone who was an immigrant to the US. I was living in New York at the time. And she would make she would mostly use like a knitting machine to do knitwear for these big brands and stuff.

like a knitting machine to do knitwear for these big brands and stuff. And she was making like okay money, but she wasn't making a lot compared to like how much she was putting out and how much these things usually go for. And I do feel like people are talking more about the problems with fast fashion in general, but you know, like comparing, seeing like, Oh, something is like handmade. If they've seen someone make it uh in front of their eyes they treat it differently than something that's in a store but that's also

still made by a person and um i i was kind of thinking about doing this and then i saw this terrible article from the kato institute about how like sweatshops are feminism i don't know it was like oh you know actually sweatshops are like good for women because like don't you want them to be working in there instead of men and it was like are you kidding me um it was really wild god god who could who i mean who else but the coke funded kato institute could give us such a great take on something like that? Yeah, so I saw that on my feed yesterday, and I was like, this is terrible. I know that it was on my feed because everyone was disagreeing with it, but it just still needs to be addressed. Because there are definitely people out there who do feel that way, I think.

needs to be like addressed like because there are definitely people out there who do feel that way i think yeah yeah yeah so much of the modern world like the one of the big lies of the modern world is trying to hide like the work from uh from the consumer like the work that goes into the products like amazon we've been talking about how you know in order for people to be like, I pressed a button and my product was on my doorstep an hour later, like those drivers have to pee in bottles and like there's real human suffering that is going into that. aware of is that a lot of like the facebook algorithm stuff and uh you know even amazon like all all of those things that we assume are being done by an algorithm in the background there's actually people who are watching the content that gets posted and like suffering from ptsd in order to like yeah you know put put these recommendations together and like we just i think i think there's just a fetishization of like we press a button goes into the box and comes out what we want and it's yeah yeah it's not that's not the way things are actually operating right yeah yeah

definitely my uh gosh this is like ages ago now i don't know if you guys remember when eBay was trying to compete with Amazon and did eBay now. Yeah, it's been a while. My younger brother was a driver for eBay now. And it was something where it was like kind of like a startup. And it seemed very exciting at the beginning. And it seemed very exciting at the beginning. But after the holiday rush and he was like, it was the kind of thing where kind of similar to like, I guess, like DoorDash and all those things now are for food. Like people would like buy stuff online and then he would have to go drive over and pick it up and send it over to them.

And it was just so stressful for him around the holiday season and then like right after that they fired like so many people and he i don't think he had his job for much longer after that they really fizzled out it was like less than a year it was really rough yeah yeah yeah we just it's all about it's instant gratification and ignoring how why it's instant is right yeah those i think of our consumer culture and it's yeah and now it's bleeding into just how we look at everything i mean like societally i'd say like america's in some form of free fall at the moment but it's just like i don't know like whatever like there's just this very american way to just be like let's just focus on the things that are still running and not the all the other things that are very rapidly unraveling and like, you know, whether or not we're,

we have such a transparent crisis of policing that it's like, I don't know. Like let's, here's some articles on tasers. And if like, how, what is the weight difference? Right.

What the fuck? Okay. Cause you don't want to do, you don't want to look the ugly part in its eye and talk about that. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk about that shit 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.

And we're back. And we've been talking about how the post-pandemic, post-lockdown world is going to deal with the fact that there are people who are getting vaccinated, like good citizens. And then there are the people who don't believe in science or vaccines and, you know, were protesting the fact that they had to wear a mask inside of grocery stores the whole time. And they're going to be hard to tell apart when the world opens back up uh one solution was just people having their vaccine passports that they get when they get vaccinated but a daily beast article is showing the the limits to that yeah that's i mean overall i think we've always just talked about how sticky

of a situation it is whether it's like the equitable distribution of these passes and how easy it is for someone to verify that they have been vaccinated or even get a vaccination right and then the civil liberties complications is like also you're like this is this is this could be a slippery slope if not done right to the point where i think it's had received criticism from like nearly every end of the political spectrum but i think the one thing now as we're seeing is that none of that really really matters if the past itself is so fucking janky you can just off the sheer will be like all right i'm gonna cook my own up and yes this daily beast reporter without getting into the details they're just saying they sort of started this article saying

like i was going to spend easter sunday my entire easter sunday trying to figure out if i wanted to get a fake what they call the excelsior pass in the state of new york how i could go about doing that and this is just the like first paragraph in the articles is going quote after getting consent from an excelsior pass user i tried tried to download their pass, logging into their account using nothing more than public information from social media. 11 minutes after he gave me the green light, I had a copy of his blue Excelsior Pass in hand. Valid for use until September. So where there's a will, there's a way, baby. We all have to hack into the account is

basically what what they found i have a feeling that someone just like you just need the homie who's got an account who was able to get it you get the login info whatever other info i mean i think this person was trying to do it as like the hardest way possible rather than like right just give me all your info let me log in being okay, what could I do if I know this person's vaccinated and glean some things off the internet to then create a pass for themselves or at least log in as that person? Yeah, but I'm sure that if that's the case, then there will be people that treat it like Netflix and just share their info with everyone that they want to get vaccinated. Yeah, which makes the whole situation more complicated. It's like, what's the point? Because you don't rely on a thing that's vital to like, you know,

this reopening plan or how to sort of reintroduce like full openings of places when you don't even have a system that's even reliable. Like that's just, then you might just don't even have one. Like there's really, really no point to even have one if it can be easily uh duped like that yeah meanwhile the lakers are opening back up there's gonna be fans at lakers games in like 2000 right yeah tomorrow yeah today technically for whenever this comes out yeah so it's all happening yeah And I don't know what that... I'm sure that'll be the next phase of pandemic stories,

which is like, they thought they were safe and vaccinated until whatever the fuck happened because there was no way to ensure anybody... Whatever it is. Yeah. Which will then cause more hesitancy with vaccinations and everyone has access to the

internet now so let's see where it goes yeah yeah that's i think yeah the only thing you can really do is just ensure your own safety right yeah just know that like the people you're around are on the same page because yeah it's it's not like there's a real clear methodology on how to do this the proper way. Aside from a, just getting people on the same page in terms of being like, yes, vaccinations are going to be our way forward out of this.

Yeah. Yeah. And I just want to say for like, especially any listeners who can get vaccinated, they really should because in Japan they just started vaccinations on Tuesday. Oh, wow. Yeah.

And it's only been like a few thousand elderly. And there's already been reports that when people miss their appointments, instead of giving the vaccine to someone waiting in line, hoping to get it, they throw it away. So, yeah, it's great. Great. That's very, very Japanese and not Japanese at the same time. Yes. It is the battle of Motainai and Shogunai. Yeah.

It's like really, yeah. Are you really, for people who don't know, Motainai is like, oh, what a waste. Like shouldn't be wasteful. Like when you see something like that, it's like Motainai. And Shogunai is just like this sort of nihilistic like well what are you gonna fucking do about it yeah very big forces pulling where you could either suddenly

be like ah mottainai na like what a waste or just be like nah shouganai like what are you gonna fucking do yep yeah on one end you see like yeah like I see it in my mom who fucking reuse things infinitely in ways i've never seen possible because

like you can't just throw something away like this is this is a plastic thing with a shape that i can then use for something i'm like mom you can recycle that shit she's like no i will feed the possums with this yeah oh yeah inside out baby yeah hang them outside drip dry i love it exactly so let's move on to just the the heart of darkness that i have to think is probably unparalleled in other countries uh that is happening within the conservative movement in the united states and that is these anti-trans children bills that are being rolled out very tactically across different states that are basically redefining child abuse to include, like in the legal definition, to include the most healthy thing that a parent of a trans child can do for that child.

Yeah. So normally in Texas, this bill SB 1640, whatever, SB 666, whatever the fuck you want to call it. Yeah. 1640 whatever sb 666 whatever the fuck you call it yeah yeah um the normally yes child abuse is defined like physical emotional sexual abuse etc uh but now they're adding the language quote administering or supplying or consenting to or assisting in the administering or supplying of puberty suppressions prescription drug or cross-sex hormone to a child other than an intersex child oh they acknowledge intersex children uh for the purpose of gender transitioning or gender reassignment or performing or consenting to the performance of surgery or another medical procedure on a child. So essentially, yes,

the thing that all medical experts are saying, gender affirming medical procedures are the things that help keep these kids away from high rates of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation. That's rampant for trans youth and adults, too, because it's a it's a part of who you are. And so what there's to say that now this shit that, again, a 2020 study published in Pediatrics found the earlier transgender youth get care the less likely they are to suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts that's nailed on that's a fact from the medical community but you are saying that now it's abuse to do the thing that wouldn't that would actually keep them safe no yeah it's absurd and i think this is the tactical part comes in this other section which is there's also a bill sb 1311 in texas that is only a few degrees less evil but still evil because it

only bans doctors from performing these procedures see oh nicey this is all like this is all by design and a lot of activists and any people working in politics have seen this time and time again for many things put the fucked up bill out first and get everybody like oh my god i can't believe they're doing this shit right and then you'd be like oh no no no no here's the it says doctors will be arrested or lose their license to practice if they are the ones helping these children. Isn't that better? That's better.

And now people like, well, see, this is Overton window shifting bullshit that they do. And again, like many people quick to point out, that's how that's called a slow motion genocide, because you start doing this. Oh, no, no, we weren't going to do that. What about just the doctors are they they're punished and then it's going to turn into well at least the camps we put these people in have netflix right yeah and now that's what we're that's what we're going to be because we're allowing the discourse to move there and i think more people especially politicians need to be unequivocal and calling this shit out for it's nonsense transphobic it's genocidal legislation yeah yeah definitely i mean the mention of intersex is only because like you know if a child

is considered not male and not female they we gotta put them in one of those categories right away that's the only reason why they're included but But it's just so absurd. I saw that there was the quote from Jill Glover was saying that the 646 bill gives children a chance to get to adulthood with intact bodies. We're not cutting up kids. I don't know that they're talking about here is like puberty blockers because children don't want to go through that first puberty that they're assigned sex like dictates, you know, so it just it just really, really absurd. And it's so frustrating, because I know so many people who would have if they had that chance, they would have been so much happier if they didn't even get that like the i guess some people even go as far as saying it's like a poisoning but it's just like you know those hormones they don't want them and you know they they can stop puberty blockers anytime if they change their minds and then go through that puberty it's just so i mean of course there's no reason to it but it's just so disgusting it's just to be able to because this is part of the the love of conservative ideologies like who's the weakest group we can fuck with right now.

Right. It was different than this head Christian white people. Right. So if you're not that. OK, well, damn, I guess too many people have rallied around people of color. Not quite enough to really start abolishing police but uh enough that they're like well let's focus on this other group that we can then brutalize and just sort of help assert our fucking faux sense of superiority over it's all bullshit and again all of these bills it's in 33

states now arkansas had the same one where the governor's like i vetoed it but it got over it was overridden so it didn't fucking matter but the same thing was like no it's just banning doctors from doing it like we're just this is a thing that we we're solving again this is a there's not a problem that it is solving in any situation they can't point to it even with the sports bills about trying to keep trans kids from competing in like scholastic sports it's not there's not a problem right yeah there's not a problem ever there will not be a problem because you're just making shit up right i'm not sure how much the the media is going to begin to actually look at this in a sober-eyed way and be like this is all the most like horrific violently transphobic legislation you could imagine and it's just happening out there

but they're gonna keep debating like well what you know what what does it mean to be trans in sports or whatever like you're missing the point with these other yeah unless you're right going straight for the throat of these bigots right come on now checking the weight difference between this bill and the right other bill like it's it's like those articles being like how how different is a taser from the handgun what it's yeah i know i know a family that has a young kid who is trans and you know they talk about it on social media and the number of people like i feel like this bill is for the conservatives who like go trolling to like because people do like just say the most vile shit to their family and it's it's for that it's like people i don't know it's so proactively like judgmental and uh like anti-christian

values like in any conceivable uh way that i can can possibly imagine is it's just wild that that's where uh this movement has gone i feel like it's going to take a lot to, uh, in history books to be like, so wait, but these were supposed to be the, the people who are Christian people, but like they're,

everything they're doing is the opposite of that. They're like, Oh, Christianity, that dead religion. Right. Right. Well,

they're like, I know people who still believe in Christianity. Right. Wow. How'd that go yeah no for sure but it's gonna they're gonna need a whole a whole chapter just explaining the i mean not only that how we're just the societal tone is like only a minority of people are like uh what the fuck is this right yeah yeah because even the people who unfortunately people who are going to end up writing those history books they're in the same fucking crowd right now being like i don't know that's not me it's not affecting me like i don't think it's that bad

anyone die yet i don't know we'll talk about it when someone dies that is very hopeful that is very hopeful that that's what history books say all right let's's take another quick break and we'll be right back.

Just as a like emotional kid who then like felt like I had to sculpt all feelings into either anger or like competition because I was boy. I just I think that's so deeply ingrained and like easy to to miss.

And it just, you know, fucks people up for life. And he's trying to do you know a very help healthy thing for him and you know i'm sure there will be a netflix show too you know what i mean yeah i don't know i don't know how healthy that is yeah i was like a little well you know do you because i'll do me but i would definitely looked I looked at that headline a certain way when it's like, as part of a Netflix series, I'm like, you already sold the rights. Oh,

okay. You know what? That's what capitalism do to you though. You know, you gotta be like, fuck it. I gotta commodify me coming out. Cause yeah.

Yeah. Like that's what this is. The culture I'm in right now. Yeah. But yeah. Yeah. I don't know much about this. Um,

I, I, I can't watch bachelor. I can't watch Bachelor. I can't watch American Bachelor, but I. Oh, we got some links for you. You know what I mean? Oh, okay. We'll help you out. I do watch Bachelor Japan, actually, but it's great.

What's Bachelor Japan like? Oh, my God. Okay. Bachelor Japan is really wild because kissing is so rare and so scandalous. I know. I'm like, oh. Yeah, but I'm watching japan it's but it's slow key it's still very entertaining it's really fascinating but the the one that i'm watching season three there are uh there's three seasons of bachelor and one season of bachelorette

and bachelor season three has been very interesting because this bachelor shinya is um he partially grew up in France. So he's got like more Western ideals and stuff. And like, he's like legit, like he speaks fluent French and like they showed his host family and stuff. He was like going there every summer or something. But yeah, like he's been doing a lot of cheek kissing and that was like, oh my God. And like other girls are like, oh my God, he's kissing everybody. What's going on? It's very funny

What is scandalous on Bachelor Japan? But that being said for this guy like immediately what I saw was, you know people pointing out that he's had like restraining orders on him with past girlfriends and like all these other things and it just feels like You know, we there are definitely better gay people to have a show about and it just feels like you know we there are definitely better gay people to have a show about this kind of thing you know i just like yeah damn i didn't know that yeah yeah i think i saw something i think it was from she rates dogs but i don't remember yeah uh but they they uh the she rates dogs podcast also talks about bachelor a little bit so they should get into those kinds of things.

Yeah, there's a lot of... He was not a good boyfriend, not that I'm surprised. Oh, wow. He put a tracking device on this woman's car? Yeah. Oh, shit. It's too much. Wow. Hey, they got that Netflix special though. Got the

ink is drying on that shit. That's how quick this shit moves. It's fucking... One clip I saw that was so funny, hey, they got that Netflix special, though. Got that Netflix. Got the ink is drying on that shit. That's how quick this shit moves. It's fucking wild. The one thing, one clip I saw that was so funny, though, was Billy Eichner was on his season. And he was like, Colton, you might be the first gay bachelor ever. And it's this moment where, yeah, on the show at the time when he was on it. And Chris Harrison sitting next to him. And he was like, like oh i don't know and you're like whoa okay all right billy yeah yeah you know he would know he's uh he's very

good at that i think yeah billy out there yeah yeah i i know robert roberts in the interview was like what do you say to the women who you like misled and but this that's a weird question that's still what do you say to the women you misled like yeah i don't know what do you say to yourself who was so tormented that they hid who they were right yeah and i get and i understand that there are stakes for other people in relationships but i don't think being like uh what about your guilt that for other people outside of it versus like i don't like that duplicitous shit yeah exactly it's just uh it's very yeah i think um yeah i just like it's so weird like that i mean i'm not surprised it's definitely a thing that i've seen

from straight women where it's like wait if the guy is gay that how is that it's like this immediately it's about their feelings you know it's just that's definitely a thing it's one of the things i forget about but yeah just uh yeah just it's not that's not a very appropriate question they're definitely better question better ways to phrase that i would say definitely yeah yeah uh all right let's talk fast nine uh i think we've all been chomping at the bit uh did you guys watch this trailer at all yes i saw i saw i saw half of it in on mute as i was scrolling twitter and i saw a thing that looked like a rocket ship flying at an airplane, and I was like, okay, I can't look at this shit anymore.

What the fuck is going on here? Did I see that correctly? Was there a flying rocket car? So the car fires out of a window, I believe, at one point, and then a jet comes down, I think, and scoops it or something? Yeah. Like it's all part of the yeah there's the

whole thing about magnets that's like the big that's the new that's that got me excited i'm not gonna lie the magnets got me very cool fucking pumped uh oh yeah because i saw the thing where all this debris was like a car was going down the street and was pulling all this debris out of shop windows and shit yeah yeah they know look they know they know what they're doing like they're always good for although i feel bad i was so fucked up on edibles during fast eight i felt i felt i was asleep through that whole zombie car scene oh my yeah i haven't really loved the last couple because it felt like they were all built around these big set pieces where it was you know the big plane or the submarine or you know and like that glacier that was the uh the additional like element that they brought whereas

this feels like more of a return to fast five where it's just like the the big thing and that was that the cars had to tow around like a giant block of metal at one point like for a robbery and like this time they've got like magnets which is that's like a the sort of simplistic silly fun kind of addition that just plays with the physics of the universe right without without like going being like now they're chasing each other around the International Space Station on cars. And the rock is gone and they brought in

John Cena, which is fun. Anytime they can take the rock down a peg in the Vin vs. the Rock battle, I'm for it. Yeah. because the Rock is all toxic masculinity

and Vin is... Hey, that's our fucking future president, man. You better watch out. You're going to be on a list. You'll be on a list. You'll be on an over the emotional... You'll be a males acting like females list under President The Rock Johnson's direction.

Yes. You know that motherfucker running running i'm scared as fuck for that um i don't know if you guys know or maybe well miles probably knows about the japanese titles for fast of years because they're completely different yeah yeah uh that's like the first thing i did was like go to see what was the Japanese title for this movie. So yeah, what is it? So Jack, do you know the Japanese title for Fast and the Furious? No. So the base title is Wild Speed.

So it's like Wild Speed times two Wild Speed times three Tokyo Drift Max Mega Max. Then even the Hobbs and Shaw one was Wild Speed Super Combo. So this one is Wild Speed Jet Break. Jet Break. Yeah. Damn. The last one was Ice Break. Yeah, it was Ice Break.

So I was like, why are you using break again? But okay. Yeah. Is Jet Break break a phrase i don't i think it's like breaking something with a jet i guess it would be if we're gonna do like because jet like it could also be break like break out there's it's you know one of those things that just gets like like ice break makes sense because we have like the phrase ice breaker but no but this is because that scene on ice though remember they had all those yeah yeah no that was the submarine scene but the thing is the japanese people don't know the phrase ice break they don't know that

oh okay they like anything it's called uh katakana ego which means english and katakana which is enough to be like oh shit wild speed ice break and you're like oh shit why are those people ice break and you're like he said ice break like that meant some shit but my favorite it's funny though to be how the titles are different because you know for people who who fuck with the video games the resident evil franchise is called biohazard in japan and the the biohazard the uh like in the most recent one it was called resident evil 7 biohazard in the u.s and then in japan it was called biohazard 7 resident evil japan yeah it's like this premier image look we got our own titles and shit like that but yeah the the japanese the japanese of american film titles is like it could probably be a like a coffee table book i that's like something i love to like look at all

the time um my favorite actually is um like people like changing the titles of american movies to sound like another franchise that they can't legally do in the u.s so like for example the american pie movies there are a lot of like uh pseudo american pie like titles put on other teen movies that have nothing to do with american pie to try to like work with that brand the most interesting of which is i actually discovered this because of the movie she's the man with amanda vines the japanese title for that one is american peach pie interesting yeah it's just completely different but yeah that's like that whole uh world i guess i mean and you know there are some things that go the other way as well like when it comes to like japanese movies and other other countries movies into the u.s sometimes the titles change

and stuff but one i was wondering about is uh detective chinatown is that the name of that movie in china because it just seems like a real like racist like dismissive way of describing a cop movie like from china is like i don't know detective and then the place where I've seen Chinese people before I would say probably not right there's also the thing that's like it's always like

you know to begin with it like meaning we are like semi-pro I remember is called the Will Ferrell basketball movie semi-pro is called like dunk shooter which means we'd like dunk shoot is the lamest way to say slam dunk to dunk a ball yeah it's called dunk shoot it's like we call that they might not legally even be able to do that because

there's the um there's a series slam dunk it's like the comic and the animated right right because of it yep i have my shohoku jersey somewhere oh okay but like yeah that one's just cool we are dunk shooter and i think like there's a so many are like that even goon is like oritachi like something skater it's like there's always this weird way of saying it's like we are this thing too yeah yeah it's interesting you just referenced two underrated sports movies, Semi-Pro and Goon. Goon is fucking underrated. I don't know Goon.

Oh, it's good. Oh, my Stifler is a hockey player. Stifler, yeah. Oh, okay, okay. Yeah. Yeah, I think I remember. I didn't give it an apple pie, some sort of pie, tooth pie. No, they can't usually do that with like same

actors i think the only exception might be legally blonde and hot pursuit they made that seem like a yeah legally there so legally blonde is called cutie blonde in japanese because they don't get the joke right and then hot pursuit which is that like i don't think anyone watched the movie but wreath with a spoon is a like a cop or a bounty hunter or something i don't remember and sofia vergara is like a fugitive or something anyway that's called cutie cop hey i mean okay can't argue with it, right? Yeah, it's interesting. It's a very different vibe, I think. Dude, also Thor Ragnarok was called Mighty Thor Battle Royale.

Yeah, yeah. Hell yeah. Yeah, I think it's because Thor by itself is like soul, so it's like so short. It's like one line just with a line soul yeah so they have to call it mighty thor in japanese yeah uh and then uh i was just like i'm looking at this listicle now there's night's tale was called rock you oh hell yeah really well i mean that is the notable thing of that of that show is of that movie is that they did like a rock soundtrack yeah it wasn't like the trailer i think maybe the trailer did have that we will rock you yeah look just a little

bit of uh exchange but yes goon uh i was and it has like a little bit of puccini touring dot in there you know from my classical music heads is a great use of that song from opera i see i will have to check that out yeah yeah all right uh and let's talk about white claw they have introduced their eight percent line of surge which are larger cans that have eight percent alcohol by volume as opposed to the five percent of a normal white claw the surge yeah so it's not there does not appear to be any caffeine content uh surge related thing going on weird like surge feels like a like a odd way to get someone who's like being like i need a higher alcohol like abv drink to be like it's the surge. I want to remember the Iraq war surge. Right. Yeah. Very aggressive. Pick some different words, fam.

Yeah. Yeah. It should be like White Claw Turnip. No, actually, don't do that because some idiotic marketing person would be like, Hey, we've got... White Claw Turned Up. We'll see where this goes from here because obviously it seems like White Claw does the thing and then literally every

beer manufacturing company like has to do the exact same thing so in beer the higher alcohol per volume is uh ice right like natty ice and but oh right right so at that point you just that's just a way for people to avoid admitting you're like, you're just drinking malt liquor, bro. Well, so that's what this jam kind of put together some research on. Like, I think people assume White Claw is like literally a seltzer with vodka in it, like with distilled spirits in it. But it is actually just malt liquor. Like, it's the same as a 40. like it's the same as right 40 it's because and the reason they do that is because it would cost way more in taxes like distilled spirits are taxed at a much higher rate than fermented spirits are

and so like even though a lot of people think it's made from vodka it's a flavored malt beverage just like cult 45 they just you know took all the taste out of it and made it clear interesting yeah is it is it i was gonna say has it made it out there i know smirnoff ice it seems like the most western of the sort of jokey drinks that is there aside from our beloved canned chuhai yeah i was gonna say chuhai is definitely the thing so i don't think i think it's gonna be a while before something like actually replaces it white claw could never break apart the love affair the japanese people have with canned chuhai that's just chuhai has been the flavored not like you know a little alcohol but a lot of sugar and it's easy to drink type drink for

a minute and i don't know like there will have to be a huge shift yeah i don't know yeah definitely yeah so i have no idea what white claw tastes like and um i have it tastes like shitty can't chew high okay because when i had it i was like man y'all need to get on that chew high life you know that's a shochu high okay, for people who don't know. It's seltzer, so it's got to be a little bit different, right? Right. It's not sweet. Okay.

Yeah. But then they have the sweet ones, too, that's like truly with lemonade. I'm like, no. Yeah, that's just a Mike's Hard. Yeah, don't do all this other naming shit i miss mike's hard actually oh really oh they don't have that in japan yet you know well i'm not sure i've never seen it but i also like never drink so right right you're not looking for it either yeah exactly yeah next time you're at the konbini just look at that bottom row where all the weird obscure malt drinks are in the drink case.

I'll let y'all know. Because, yeah, I, let me see. I think I drink only for my in-laws family barbecue and the Christmas party. So like twice a year. Oh, wow. Yeah. That sounds like a family barbecue then. Oh, yeah.

My sister-in-law is, goodness uh 12 years older than me and she can really handle her alcohol she's she's adorable that's awesome yeah um does white claw get like do you get a vodka hangover or like a beer hangover because like vodka i can't tell the difference anymore i was very discerning in my hangovers uh as my drinking whiskey is whiskey is the one i always know yeah it's bad just because i think for the amount of work your liver has to do because of it being a brown spirit but yeah um no i mean i've never been like yo i'm getting fucked up off white claw today this is too much the volume of liquid is too much and i don't want to pee all the time it's nice to like get stealth drunk at a little baby's birthday you know what i mean because you don't be banging

shots you're like yo i'm getting a white claw and you're like just crushing it but yeah yeah i don't know it's it's i think i mean i think at the end of the day like the way of white claw and all these seltzers rolled in one was just basically being like hey we know you drink fucking lacroix right with booze so i don't know is the next really iteration people really clamoring for more a less socially acceptable white claw right yeah because it feels like white claw had an innocence like oh it's like a seltzer it's got a little bit of booze in it but we'll drink 40 of them and then we'll act like we're not you know having we're not struggling right now right very interesting i just learned that there are different kinds of hangovers

yeah yeah try them out do some ab testing i have i have never had a hangover good for you even though in college i definitely had some fun times but never ended in hangover you're not gonna have college it's hard like the times i had hangovers were essentially like i didn't go to the hospital and i probably should have yes like me fully there were multiple times when i was definitely suffering from like a hospitalizable uh level of alcohol poisoning yeah because you don't at that age like you're like half of it is like especially when you get towards you're about to end college is the panic that you're leaving academia and you're gonna have to enter like the real world and then also like the

chaos of college and trying to figure out your life and shit that dude that nihilistic engine for that kind of drinking that truly is like how you how i would end up like that because i was like i don't give a fuck yeah yeah then you then you learn to give a fuck you know what i mean then you get you begin to take care of yourself but that's when I got into wild speed to do a throwback. We'll leave it at that. Yeah. Bad times. Well,

I, you me, it has been such a pleasure having you on daily zeitgeist. Where can people find you and follow you? Thank you so much for having me. I'm like, I'm still like so excited that I even got to be here in the first place. But yeah, I have Twitter and Instagram are the same at Ayushino. So A-Y-U-S-H-E-K-N-O-W-S.

I'm more on Twitter than on Instagram. But yeah, I actually just found out a few hours ago that I have been approved to start selling prints. So if you see my work and you like it, then hopefully by the time this actually drops, then I'll have an imprint shop as well. But I also do commissions. Um,

and that's kind of like my main thing right now because, uh, my part-time job is more part-time than I expected. And my commissions go as low as $5. So like, Hey, I'll get a couple. I'm gonna get a couple of that.

Are the ones in your pinch tweet commissions or some of those commissions? The paintings are not. The paintings are like just me having fun, wanting to paint people that I think are all awesome. But I think both of them. No, actually, only one of them is actually commissioned. The one that's just line work. That one was like a little extra, but that's like the basic idea if you want something very very simple yeah oh yeah and oh i have a podcast also i do need to yeah yeah uh so

my podcast is sparkle side chats with magical girl ayu i talk with people who are fans of magical girl series um mostly japanese ones but honestly. And my guests are also from all around the world, which is really fun. And those drop on Tuesdays, I guess pretty much anywhere you get your podcasts. So that can be found. You can find the Twitter for that at Magical Girl Ayu. And that's also on Instagram if you prefer that there. Yeah. Yeah.

Check it out. And is there a tweet or some of the work of social media you've been enjoying? Yes. I was searching all day for the funniest tweet and like just about an hour before we started, I found someone brought to my attention, an amazing video tweet.

It's just like this incredible, it's a two minute video, but it's about how to find contraband in your own house if you don't trust your teenage children. And it's from, yeah, it says, here's New York City Mayor candidate Eric Adams teaching you how to

search your own home for contraband. And no, this music was legit already there. I didn't alter anything in these excerpts. so this is uh tweeted originally by popular knapsack at soul con k-h-a-n nice but yeah uh please this video the way it's i'm so nervous because this dude looks like a correctional officer that what is this a darren aronofsky scene but you gotta like watch the whole thing cause oh I'm going to

the ideas of where you would find things and what you would find it's just this is he said a small caliber weapon could be hidden inside a jewelry box don't think they won't do it god damn

god almighty that's cool dad yeah I mean look Don't think they won't do it. God damn. God almighty. That's cool dad. Cool dad. Yeah. I mean, look, it's just so funny when somebody is such a, they're so cop-brained like that. Yeah, exactly. You don't even know what a person is.

Everybody's a fucking perp to you. Yeah, exactly. You come home and your perp is eating with your wife at the dinner table. This is a great opportunity to sneak up and do some reconnaissance. Exactly. You know what I mean? And don't bother asking your kids questions about their lives and be engaged as a parent. Be suspicious and always suspect they have guns on them.

What? Dad. It's so wild. it's but yeah please watch the whole video uh everyone is so funny that that string music is a way too much and more than anything i want to see the editing process of that video where this man had notes i was like no man we need to ramp this up a little bit there's some fucking you know get that i found this soundtrack from schindler's List.

A few tweets I like. First one is at Perrine from Weird Alex Perrine, P-A-R-E-N-E, says, I'm no public health expert. From what I've seen, the clotting issue needs study. But since it only affected women, the right move would have been for the fda to declare j and j the dudes only vaccine then print then print t-shirts that say it takes a real man to handle this johnson that would have actually worked another one strictly christo christo right wing conservatives are here to convince you that murder is an appropriate response to property damage,

but property damage isn't an appropriate response to murder. And because we've been talking about Fast and Furious titles, this is from at Boing Loin Hitter. Interesting. Oh, yes.
