Sad. Wow. Caitlin, Jamie, it's so good to have you here. Oh, thanks. Miles is still in overseas. In overseas. In overseas. But he will be back soon.

Probably next episode or the episode after that. Anyways, Caitlin, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. But first, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about today. We're talking the Burr Box Challenge. Yeah. And just Burr Box in general. Burr Box. Burr Box.

We're going to talk. It's late, guys. This is later than we usually record. So we're a little punchy over here in the Zeitgeist Studios we're going to talk about the Masked Singer which Jamie has watched both of those are things Jamie has watched and neither of us

have so we're going to get the inside scoop we're going to maybe look at the Coachella lineup we're going to look at the hubbub over AOC's college dancing video. The controversy, I guess. Oh, it's a very, I mean, have you seen the video? I know.

Wow. There's so much to unpack. I know. It's crazy. She appears to be enjoying herself. How dare she? I know. She's having a good time, and it's just, I find it upsetting.

And we will talk about Nancy Pelosi's yes, gavel moment. Yes. But first, Caitlin, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Well, I just recently Googled songs with jump in the title because i have uh made it a new part of my personality that my instagram stories which i don't know if uh maybe you know devotees of the podcast will remember that on an earlier episode i talked about how instagram stories were overrated and i don't like them. But now I...

All of a sudden you're good at them and doing them all the time. Correct. Well, I spent the past couple of weeks over the holidays looking after a bunch of people's cats. Oh. And I took many, many videos and I've been laying music over those videos and then adding them to my Instagram stories. So two early favorites of mine in the rap genre, Jump Jump by Criss Cross and Jump Around

by House of Pain. I used both of those for my recent cat video. Did you use Jump by Van Halen? I did not. No. Well, get ready to because that is basically the number one song that people edit

jump videos together. I like Jump for My Love by the Pointer Sisters. That is a great one. I use that one. That's a great one, yeah. Wow. A classic.

Well, that's a lot of fun. Thank you so much. Congratulations on your newfound calling. Is it a calling or like more of a profession? You know what? I am going to start a Patreon for it okay it'll be my profession good good uh what is something you think is underrated okay so this thing it's gotten great reviews so it's not underrated in that sense but i feel like

not enough people are seeing it or talking about it but but Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse. I knew it. I knew it. You know. I actually, so I had one day to go to the movies over my break, and I was choosing between Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse and The Favorite, and I just chose The Favorite because it was the one that was starting next.

Sure. But I thought of you, and I was like, ah, it's going to break her heart if I don't see Spider-Man and the Spider-Verse. I'm really upset. So tell us about this movie. What is so unique about it? Well, I, and this is coming from someone

who has not read any of the comics, so I don't have that background for it. But, like, I saw it for the first time by myself Thursday night of the opening weekend and I was sitting by myself in the theater and within the first- It's getting very sad. You're emphasizing your loneliness quite a bit.

True, true, true. But I didn't feel that way because I just was so invigorated by watching it. Within the first five minutes I was like this is the best movie I've ever seen like I loved it it's an animated spider-man correct and I think that's one of the reasons a lot of people are not taking it as seriously or kind of dismissing it because it's animated or like people are like it's a cartoon the animation is absolutely incredible the story is amazing the characterization is great. It's funny.

It's so fucking funny. The soundtrack is awesome. It has a nice balance between humor and earnest emotional beats. Just everything about it is great. It's diverse casting, diverse characters. It's beautiful, and I love it so much. I've seen it four times, and that's frankly not enough. Oh, I'm surprised it's not more.

I thought it would have been more by this time. Yeah, I've been slacking. I do still have to see it. I do really want to see it. I mean, it has made over $100 million. So perhaps it's not underrated. I just wanted an excuse to talk about it. A lot of people are seeing it.

And is it like a multiverse type thing where there's like or i guess we'll have to see you don't have to get into the uh physics of the spider-man universe seeing superhero movies just like it just seemed i i don't know i'm like i'm i'm 30 behind i'm never gonna catch up yeah and whenever i try to watch one someone's like you have to watch it in 4K. I was like, well, what if I'm stealing it off the internet? What about that? What is something you think is overrated? Well, people, as it is newly 2019, people were talking about, I know. Wow.

Breaking news. Honey. What? People were talking about Blade Runner because this is now the year that blade runner the first one uh what kind of hacks talked about oh we did yesterday that's right so i think the film blade runner is overrated oh for sure yeah i mean so much uh it has cool world building and it has great production design um and everything else about it is bad and i don't know i think that i mean i'm sure it looks great i can't wait for the defer

the people to get in well people are gonna slide straight into my mentions get in there there's but sometimes i'm like you got you had a lot blue light bulbs, and they can't take that away from you. But Harrison Ford for the billionth time is like a creepy predator in that movie. Are we talking 2049 or original Blade Runner? Original. I think the other one is also overrated. Really? Again, visually nice, but story-wise.

Again, blue light bulbs. Yeah. Okay. Sometimes orange light bulbs depending on the scene I know oh my god I like the synths the synthesizers from Lightrunner those are cool

but yeah very influential but I agree it's not the greatest it's a bad story it's boring and just not good anyway I like 2049 story anyways let's talk about. I'm sorry, guys. I didn't mean.

Coming in hot. This is what happens. Sorry, men. I didn't mean to criticize Blade Runner. Jack after 6 p.m. is just. Wild. Unhinged. Wearing a bathrobe.

Are you smoking a cigar right now? I am. Oh, my God. uh tiny cigar what's a myth what's something people think is true you know to be false well people think that bird box is about a box that was bitten by radioactive bird and it is not yes uh she's not the best in the business for nothing, folks. Well, guys, that brings us to our first story. The Bird Box Challenge is a thing. Netflix had to say, guys, don't do the Bird Box Challenge. Stop doing the Bird Box. So it involves just doing something, really anything with a blindfold on is what the Bird Box Challenge is.

with a blindfold on is what the bird box challenge is. One guy in one bird box challenge walks out of his house barefoot in shorts and a t-shirt in a snowstorm while holding his dog and begins walking around in random directions, but he's got a blindfold on. Another person does various workouts that require absolutely no visual awareness while blindfolded. Another family pelt one of their family members with ping pong balls while that person is blindfolded and gropes around and eventually starts

throwing punches at everyone. Anyways, Jamie and Caitlin, have you seen Burr Box? And is that why you're wearing blindfolds right now? We are. No, that's just kind of our our thing right now that's just an aesthetic choice okay yeah the movie is a genuine phenomenon in terms of raw number of people who have seen it uh it's netflix bragged that it's been seen by 45 million people although who knows with those people they could just be making it up. They don't release their damn numbers.

I did see Burbox. You did. You are one of the 45 million. I think that everyone who saw it, from what I gather, watched it on Christmas Eve or Christmas. So many people watch it with their families. Yeah, this happened, I think, two years ago whenever Making a Murder came out

because it came out right ahead of Christmas break and everybody watched it. And you just need something to do with your family. But what's wrong with us that we're only watching movies about creepy shit over Christmas? Burrbox? Burrbox. The thing you gotta understand about Burrbox.

Did it pass the Bechdel test? Yes, but it's a horror. I thought it was like the dumbest movie. But am I allowed to do spoilers? Yes. Okay. Spoiler alerts coming. Spoiler alert for Bird Box.

Right now. So there is a scene, Bird Box or Bird Box? Bird Box. Canonically it is called Bird Box. Bird Box. It has me for like the first 45 minutes you're like sure sandy bullock we're here there's kids it's there it's the end of the world whatever there's a really hot man in the house we like that oh yeah he's gonna kiss sandy at some point there's a lot going on i like I like it. Nice. And then in one scene, the whole movie falls apart.

Okay. Okay. So Sandy is very pregnant. Another woman comes in the house because if you go out of the house, you die because bird box, right? Okay. So another pregnant lady comes in the house. Now we've got two pregnant women.

Sick, right? Gross. But the other pregnant yeah disgusting horrible so the second pregnant woman i have not i don't remember anyone's name in this movie yeah uh but the second pregnant woman who she's like i've lived a sheltered life i love hello kitty so she lets a british guy in the house and the british guy's like I'm not dangerous and then they're and then everyone's like pregnant lady you dummy he looks dangerous and then he's like I'm not dangerous and they're like all right he's not dangerous okay and then he has this sketchbook and the sketchbook is full

of freaky little drawings that he made and you're like oh no he is dangerous then both of the pregnant ladies go into labor at the same time for no reason oh it has nothing to do with the plot has nothing to do with like an earthquake didn't like dislodge their pregnancies from what i can tell they just go into labor at the same time to get all the characters out of the room what you have to understand is that when two women are close together, they sync up. Their water will break at the same time. So I think that the writers made them go into labor at the same time for a number of reasons,

but logistically to get everyone out of the room and away from the British guy. So then the British guy is like, bird box! And then it's still like another hour and a half. It seems like one of those things where my understanding of it is that like your visions or like your fears come real. So it's like the part in Ghostbusters where the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man comes. I don't know. Anyways, I think I just nailed it.

Pretty much bird boxed us out of here. Yeah, yeah. There's been so much, such a weird trend of sensory deprivation in movies between a quiet place and bird box. There is this weird- What was the other one? And the one that I'm writing. Breathe or something? Oh, Don't Breathe, maybe? Don't Breathe.

Don't Breathe. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, I don't know. Was that the one you were writing? No, I'm writing a different movie called No Touching. No Touching.

That's a good one. Is it about the Me Too movement? Am I right? All right. Jacques On One. Okay. I apologize. But just in terms of how widespread this movie's influence is,

In terms of how widespread this movie's influence is, if you translate that number of people watching the movie on Netflix to box office, it would have had the eighth best week ever. It would have been on par with Star Wars The Last Jedi, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Jurassic World. That's insane. Yeah. And it's just such a random movie so i mean obviously it's not the same as a movie coming out and doing that because people weren't all buying

individual tickets for burr box but uh it's still like in terms of the amount of like national mental real estate that it's taking up. That's where it is. It's like in the world of your furious sevens. It's great. Burr Box would fully make $7 if it was released the actual way. Everyone, it was like, it seemed like a timing thing. And also I think that there is,

you can still really get a lot of eyes on something by putting Sandy Bullock in a movie. Yeah. People love her. She's got that appeal. I love her. Mm-hmm. She does.

Sandy Bull- Bullbox? Sandy Burbox. Yes. She's credited in the movie as Sandy Burbox. Well, speaking of people who have learned that lesson, the masked singer. Oh. Because I'm assuming Sandy Bullock is one of the masked singers.

It's safe to say every working person right now is on The Masked Singer. Right. So The Masked Singer is a new TV show that is getting good ratings. A lot of people are watching it. Jamie is watching it at a bar. I have not watched it. I have seen it. It really appears to it looks a lot like a TV show from another country to me.

It's adopted from a South Korean series called King of Mask Singer. Yes. That Ryan Reynolds was on that show. And he sang somewhere over the rainbow in a multicolored unicorn mask, which sounds very Deadpool of him. And I don't necessarily love it. Yeah. But the Masked Singer, listen, I just think for January 2nd,

if we as a nation have agreed 2019, we're just going to lean into dystopia, the Masked Singer is the show to watch. Because we've got, for judges, we've got Jenny Anti-Vaxxer McCarthy. Okay. Ooh. We've got for judges we've got jenny anti-vaxxer mccarthy okay oh we've got thought leader nicole schlertzlinger lead pussycat doll oh okay i butchered her last name uh robin blurred lines thick wow making some wild color commentary and uh ken jonk who is the only good judge right and has to do a lot of heavy lifting

and it's also hosted by Nick Cannon who for years now has been wearing a turban as a fashion thing. Right and his hair is wild now. He's got like the long straight hair. Yeah I don't know he's I don't know what to make of Nick Cannon any longer. But I laughed a lot. The guy, Hippo, got kicked off. Oh, okay. And who was Hippo? So the premise is that there's a bunch of people who are in masks and they're singing and then they get kicked off.

And then you find out which celebrities. They're all allegedly celebrities. My prediction is that probably not many people will know who many of them are so who was the first celebrity the first celebrity was wearing hip-hop hippo and uh hip-hop hippopotamus from flight of the concourse yes basically uh and it was pittsburgh steelers wide receiver an Brown. Okay. That is, like, if you're a football fan, that's a big deal. He's one of the, like, three best players in the league, basically. He was booted.

He wasn't very good. But there's, so part of the appeal is it's all allegedly celebrities. Serena Williams is there somewhere. People seem sure of that. But most of the people you just have no idea including apparently the judges wait why do they think serena williams is there because i guess that they're i is that just like a rumor it's been a rumor since i think it might have just been like the one contestant that maybe didn't keep the secret as well because i because when

i first read about the series i read like serena williams is probably on it i don't know so that's like the one celebrity who's been weirdly tied to it the whole time but there's it's all these the way that the judges describe and like guess who is in the costume as they're performing is truly wild like the robin thick called a unicorn slim and pretty oh wow he also i mean they should have known that was coming from robin thick he's so known perv right but uh he also said of hippo who we now know is Antonio Brown. Hippo's moving his legs like he's under 30. Like, it's just... What the fuck? He has a sense of how under 30,

like how the movement of your legs changes at 30. I mean, if anyone does, it's Robin Thicke. He spends a lot of time watching people move their legs. He also... Hippo performed My Prerogative, a classic. The Peacock did perform The Greatest Show from The Greatest Showman. Oh, my goodness. I think this appeals to me because I've given up.

I think this appeals to me because I love Phantom of the Opera, and it's very fog heavy and very loud like Phantom of the Opera. It just does not seem like it should exist. Someone on Twitter, I forget who it was, but someone was just like, what if Louis C.K. is on the Masked Singer? That would be... And that's his next... God.

Well, there is one person who, it's not Louis C.K., But the monster, the way they were introducing the monster was it sounded like they were like, I've been forced into the shadows, but now I'm back. And I was like, this does not sound good. Anyways, monster saying don't stop me now and kept thrusting. So who knows who it is? Kevin Spacey, it sounds like. Oh, gosh. Something very fucked up is going to happen on this show probably early on

and it'll lose everyone. That's my prediction. Did you guys watch that Frank video? The Kevin Spacey as Frank Underwood video? No. It was really upsetting and I don't know what the thought process was. It seems like it's trying to turn into a performance

art. I don't know. That's not going to work. was. It seems like he's trying to turn it into a performance art. I don't know. That's not going to work. Yeah. It bothered me. Anyways, sounds like he's on this show that you like, Jamie. So good luck with that. I mean, Robin Thicke and Jamie McCarthy on the same panel is troubling. Yes.

It is troubling. But also, this is on the Fox network, so all bets are off. Are the contestants being eliminated based on how well they sing and perform? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. All right. One review says, how can you not be even a little entertained when Robin Thicke listens

to the peacock's obviously professionally trained singing voice and guesses that he might be Jimmy Kimmel? I mean- I mean, I'm in. I'm in. It reminds me of it. It definitely I wasn't surprised it was adapted from a South Korean game show because I don't know, like game shows in Asia or in like reality shows are historically so heightened. And like my favorite reality show in high school, I had to look up the name of it, but I used to love this show called Silent Library where they would bring in teenagers

and they would have to basically like torture each other. There was one episode where, but they're in a library and if you make noise, you are out. But there was one, I remember watching an episode with my cousin and she, I just remember her being like, like oh jamie jamie that's what waterboarding is oh wow just like teenagers waterboarding each other in the library great show but it's hard not to make a noise when you're being waterboarded so i well that's just how you win the game it's a losing game my favorite show uh for a while was mxc most extreme elimination challenge do you remember this

no i don't think it would hold up very well now because it's very exploitative i think right but man when i was a freshman in college that that was my shit yeah also when you think about it um spider-man into the spider-verse is kind of like Masked Singer because I didn't know that Nicolas Cage was in that movie until much later on. Weird. I didn't know John Mulaney was in that movie. He is? What does he play?

Yeah, Spider-Ham. Wait, what? Spider-Ham is a thing? Uh-huh. You got to see it. Wow. Okay, I think the lion on Masked Singer is possibly Tracee Ellis Ross. That's my is possibly Tracee Ellis Ross.

That's my prediction. Tracee Ellis Ross. Because everyone keeps being like, there's a few famous people. Lion is one of them. And that's just my prediction. Who are these people who are dropping little secrets like that? Well, when the contestants come out, they're given a description. And you get a brief backstory of the character.

And they're like, and this one's actually famous. Well, they're just like, lion and A-lister. You're like, ooh. Wow, that would be such a shitty feeling if you were one of the other ones. They're like, and we actually got a famous one for this one. Well, Unicorn, they're like, I was born in Beverly Hills. And people are saying it's like Tori Spelling maybe. Oh, OK.

That's the level of fame we're dealing with. We're a solid C list with some exceptions. I was assuming Dancing with the Stars level fame. But then Serena Williams is too famous to be on Dancing with the Stars. So I do wonder if they just dropped one of these people as Serena Williams hit as a plant to be like,

you'll never guess the people that we got, even though. Anyways, this is what we're going to be talking about the whole show, and we'll be back after these messages. Some people are saying Peacock is Donny Osmond. What? I know, what a get. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.

And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And now we're going to talk about real news apparently what we were talking about was real news donnie osmond as peacock jack it wasn't uh as huge as the modern zapruder film that the conservative community broke on all of our heads earlier today on Twitter because they found a video of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dancing in college. And she looks like, according to one conservative tweeter, she looks like the nitwit she really is. It's so cute. Cool sickness.

Yeah. And she just looks adorable and beautiful based on the moment. And she's having the best time ever. She's wearing a BU shirt, Caitlin. I know. I went to Boston University. I mean, it's such a wholesome. I just would love to know what was going through that person's head when they were like, got her.

Because of all the things people almost everyone does in college at some point. Like when you see like like Ocasio-Cortez college video, you're like, oh, this could be literally anything. Right. Because people do like crazy things in college. But this was the purest thing I've ever seen. crazy things in college uh but this was the purest thing i've ever seen i mean i don't know i would just get like really drunk on this thing called mr boston and go to school wait what is mr boston it's basically rubbing alcohol they sell in like gallon jugs did you ever have mr boston no i did i haven't oh there's mr boston and then there was uh there it wasn't Sailor Jerry it was I think it was called like Sailor Rick's Rum

I drank a lot of Vladdy Vodka Vladimir Vodka Pop off Anyone try Pop Off Vodka Pop Off Vodka Anyways she just looks like she's having a great time it makes her way more likable and the conservatives were like

gotcha. And it was the response to their tweet was so obvious that literally footloose was the third trending topic for the day on Twitter. Because people were like, wait, are you in the footloose town? Why do you think this is bad? Anyways, it's a good video. She looks like she's a lot of fun to hang out with. It's cute. It's cute.

Love it. It's cute. Let's talk Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi, she's back, baby. She's back. She's got the gavel. She had her gavel gif moment because every time a politician does anything, it has to now be easily turned into a gif and used for months to come.

But I don't know. I mean, she's back. She's still the first female Speaker of the House. I don't know. I mean, when stuff like this happens, I'm thrilled that Nancy Pelosi was sworn in and it was like a great moment and she was clearly the best option. But I just just i don't know with the way democrats are right now any like historic like any establishment democrat i'm just

always leery of and concerned that you know it's like yes it's really exciting in the historical context and i think she's perfectly capable of doing the job but I also am just like establishment democrats are currently freaking me out yes yeah I think that is a fair place to be yes gavel well yes gavel but you know it was also a big day for non-establishment congresswomen. Yes. Because a bunch of new congresswomen were sworn in and a kid dabbed. A kid dabbed, yes. Yes. I was really thrilled about the dabbing picture

and I just complained about a gavel meme. So I'm a hypocrite. I did like when the sun dabbed. Yeah, it was Rashida Taib's son? Yes. Who dabbed? Highly recommend looking up the pic. But yeah, the first two Native American women

to be elected to Congress ever. The first Muslim women in Congress ever. Ocasio-Cortez is the youngest woman to ever be elected into Congress, and the most women in Congress. I got a hot stat here, Jack. Uh-oh. Hot stat alert.

Do we have the hot stat drop? Bing, ba-ba-bing. Okay. Hot stat alert. Total women in the U.S. House in 1989, 16 Democrats and 13 Republicans. 2019. Oh, you have the updated numbers, too. Yeah.

Wow. You're welcome. So I guess for shorthand, this is in the span of Ocasio-Cortez's life. So and now in 2019, 89 Democrats and 13 Republican women. So still 13. So the Republicans are holding steady. They were like, we got this exactly right back in 1989.

That was peak humanity. And Democrats have moved forward. There are just so many. I don't know. If you need something to be in a good mood about today, recommend checking out the pictures of women getting sworn into Congress. It made me happy.

I personally love Ayanna Pressley because she's from Massachusetts and she's been the greatest forever. Yeah, she rules. Yeah. Well, the government shutdown drags on. It's causing gross garbage to pile up. There was apparently a bunch of garbage

all over the national parks, over the holidays. People were pooping on the side of the road rather than in restrooms because the restrooms were not being cleaned. So they closed them. So people just started pooping outside. I just feel like there's a McDonald's nearby. I don't. There's not. At national parks, there was rarely a McDonald's nearby. I don't... There's not. At national parks, there is rarely a McDonald's nearby.

Speaking of college videos, though, pooping outside. That was your college video. Caitlin's first day in Congress. So when did the Republicans get a hold of that video? Oh, for me. And we've got a super scoop from super producer Anna Hosnier. I was just going to say a friend of mine went to Yosemite over the holiday season. And because of the government shutdown, there was like one hotel and there was like a hundred person line for the bathroom for that hotel.

Oh, my God. Yeah. And there was nothing else. Yeah. That's crazy. I rescind my McDonald's payment. Yeah, I mean, when you're out there in nature, that's apparently, you know, things just broke down completely

when they shut the federal government down. Utah, apparently, I know somebody went to a national park in Utah, and Utah took it upon themselves to make their state employees work over, or the state government paid the federal employees. So they kept their parks clean because they're Utah. They're going to start putting out, like, they have doggy bags out. They could be like, well, this is, it's a larger bag for a human poo-poo.

Right. So you can poop outside and then just toss your bag right so uh an update on a story we were talking about yesterday we talked about uh mitt romney's just total anarchist statement uh total badass mitt romney what a fucking cool guy love him love him um we're speculating that he might primary Trump in 2020. And he specifically addressed our statement because he is Zeitgang. And he said that he does not plan on primarying the president in 2020. Oh, cool.

But that's a very easy thing to say. And then the second Trump, you know, starts a war or, you know, sexually assaults more people in office on the White House lawn, you know, then he can just be like, oh, well, now I've changed my mind. Did you see Jonathan Van Ness, like, tweeted a weird endorsement of Mitt Romney when that whole thing happened yeah I mean and then also then the next day he's like he was like my boyfriend and I broke up it was like hopefully that I mean that's a breakup if you're suddenly like go Mitt Romney but he tweeted uh just in response uh to that op-ed he said like Mitt's's op-ed is for sure primary challenger coming, and then a pride flag, and then a heart. And I was like, Jonathan, please look up Mitt's history.

This is just a general problem that I think we have as sane human beings in this current iteration of the world, is that anybody who challenges Trump and actually poses like an actual, you know, material danger to his presidency and to his, you know, mental health and just safety as a human being, we inherently, like there is an instinct where I'm like, yes, like you are our savior. And that's the case with muller at various points that's been the case with you know romney uh in the case of jonathan van ness uh and yeah it's just we i don't blame people for having that initial instinct that like yes just anything to get us out of this fucking nightmare right we're living through but But at the same time, we obviously should not lionize Mitt Romney or even, I mean, Mueller is, is just as conservative and Republican as

Mitt Romney is. Uh, but people are, you know, he has his own Reddit sub thread, sub Reddit where people worship him. Listen, Jonathan's going through a breakup, and I just hope that that caused this severe lapse in judgment. We've all become Republicans for a moment when experiencing heartbreak. Right. I mean, my biggest problem with Trump is that he's just so rude, you know? He's so mean. Come on. Stop being so mean.

Just do it secretly. Yeah, be boring and then do horrible things outside of a camera's eye. Right. That's what we need. But there is reason to believe that Trump might still get primaried because in Iowa, even though 81% of Republicans in the state approve, he has an 81% approval rating among Iowan Republicans. approve. He has an 81% approval rating among Iowan Republicans. Also, two-thirds of Republicans in the state think that he should be challenged in a primary, which seems like a crazy thing. Like, you would think that if you approved of someone, you wouldn't want them challenged in a primary. But I think it kind of speaks to that sense of, you know, anybody who's still supporting Trump, for the most part,

still has a sense that he's really fucking bad at his job and they're just doing it despite themselves. How often has it happened where a current president who's up for re-election will get challenged like that? It happens very often. Yeah, I didn't think so. challenge like that yeah i don't think so yeah uh you know lbj knew he was going to get primaried by i think it was kennedy and a couple other people and so he quit dropped out yeah really yeah he quit yeah he announced that he wasn't gonna run yeah because the vietnam war was going right not well i find that very confusing as well and then I'm just like do people just need to be entertained? Like is that

the thing? Like that you would support him and also want a primary to take place anyways? Like I don't know. I wonder if it's just they support him because they like to you know trigger us, the libs. But at the same time

they probably the rational part of their brain recognizes to trigger us, the libs. But at the same time, they probably, the rational part of their brain recognizes that he's not good and that there's got to be someone who's better at this job, even by their standards. Yeah. I don't know.

It's silly. Those hateful people are so silly. Those goofballs. Such goofs. And on the Democratic side of the ticket, Dianne Feinstein has announced that she supports Joe Biden for 2020, surprising no one. Yeah.

Like the two most- The two oldest people. Established. Yeah, the two oldest people, period. Here's the thing about Dianne Feinstein. Support one another. She's old as fuck. She also noted that Senator Kamala harris is brand new

around here she said so yeah it's all about experience that's the most important thing you want as much experience as possible because then you'll just keep doing the same thing forever and ever and it's worked up to this point, right? Dianne Feinstein is old. Personally. And I didn't vote for her. I don't remember what I've done. But I personally feel that the unicorn and the lion from Masked Singer should.

Take it. Nice. Take it. And then you. Oh, that's the future election is you don't know that's who that's charlie are you listening mr mr mirror are you out there are you hearing and then they they get elected wait who's mr mirror whoever writes black mirror charler something charlie broker charlie mirror is his. And then they take their masks off, and then you're like, oh, my God.

Louis C.K. is the president. This is a mess. But you can't get out of it. Did you guys do that Bandersnatch? I did Bandersnatch. I gave them my data like a fucking idiot. So you have a theory. You were saying that this is all just them stealing our precious intellectual like dna

i don't know i mean i think it's like at least a beta test for something like that because netflix is so shady about everything they never release any of their statistics which i don't think should be legal to hold on to like all that data and you know distribute it god knows where because we know that they're already working with facebook and they could have read like millions of Facebook users' private messages. That was released in late December. I just, anytime someone asks for your opinion on any streaming platform or social media platform, I'm like, oh, this probably doesn't bode well for the future. Yeah. I fully recognize that based on the number of hours i've just recorded my thoughts and opinions on this podcast that i could just be completely replicated and replaced

by a robot oh jack i've been getting really into deep fakes oh really yeah i've been making a few oh no i'll make one of you and send it to you and you won't talk to me ever again. That sounds terrible, Jamie. Please don't do that. I keep making one of my dog and sending them to my boyfriend saying that our dog is a Brexiter. He's like, I think Brexit's a good idea. It's like, oh no, it's bad. So deepfakes is the thing where you actually make people say things that they didn't actually say via video right exactly yeah or make put them in porn that they weren't actually in

yeah the technology is still so primitive and weird that like if you're making a the the most famous one was the one that jordan peele did of obama last year. Right. But yeah, the technology is still weird. If a face is moving too much, it takes a while for the deep fake face to catch up with the body. It's scary, but if you love the Uncanny Valley, I highly recommend making some deep fakes. And you highly recommend Bandersnatch as well, or kind of recommend? It was fun. Yeah.

It was fun. Do you like Black Mirror generally? I like Black Mirror and I don't love myself for it, but I always watch it. But like, what if computers were like... Computers not as good as we thought. Computers not good.

All right. We're going to take another quick break to just think about that. Yeah. And we'll be back soon. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now.

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. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.

And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and

violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Senora Sex Ed is not your mommy sex talk. This show is la plática like you've never heard it before. We're breaking the stigma and silence around sex and sexuality in Latinx communities. This podcast is an intergenerational conversation between Latinas from Gen X to Gen Z. We're covering everything from body image to representation in film and television. We even interview iconic Latinas like Puerto Rican actress Ana Ortiz. I felt in control of my own physical body and my own self. I was on birth control. I had sort of had

my first sexual experience. If you're in your señora era or know someone who is, then this is the show for you. We're your hosts, Diosa and Mala, and you might recognize us from our flagship podcast, Locatora Radio. We're so excited for you to hear our brand new podcast, Señora Sex Ed. Listen to Señora Sex Ed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back and breaking news yesterday as you listen to this but uh the democrats apparently passed legislation that trump says he's going to veto but they're passing legislation to put the government back in business yeah to open it back up and basically they're making trump own the

government shutdown because he's going to veto it and keep it closed because he wants his border wall funding. And he had a weird little appearance. It was really weird. It was like a WWE event where Sarah Sanders, Suckabee Sanders, Huckabee Sanders, that's the one. Sorry? She came up. Suckabee. Suckabee Henders, Sanders, Huckabee Sanders. That's the one. Sorry?

Hello? She came up. Suckabee. Suckabee Henders. Yeah, more like Suckabee. More like Suckabee. Anyways, she came up and was like, ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United States.

And he just came out for five minutes and didn't say anything we didn't already know and then refused to take questions. But they hyped it as a press briefing and it came out for five minutes and like didn't say anything we didn't already know and then refused to take questions. But they hyped it as a press briefing and like it came out of nowhere. So it's clearly like just some weird neurons firing off real briefly in his. Vince McMahon had to have had a hand in that. Well, Vince McMahon has had a hand in just shaping how his mind works. a hand in just shaping how his mind works well because sarah huckabee sanders looks like uh you know stephanie mcmahon was left out in the rain for six weeks so that's my take anyways it's a mess the government i mean you believe these clowns in washington you guys uh but uh so some

big news that i care about because i'm young and hip is that Coachella announced their lineup for 2019. Jack, you're going to be there? Oh, man. You're going to be there? You know it. Oh, great. I'll see you there because I'm going to be there. I love Coachella.

I love those hats that have the brim all the way around the floor. Do you like bad vanity drugs and appropriation in your outfit? I do. Speaking of pooping outside. Right. Have either of you been to a big music festival? I've actually been to Coachella. Whoa.

The last eight years. No, I'm just joking. I just went once. And it was fine. But I would not go now that I don't do drugs anymore. I went to Bonnaroo once. Was it fun? Sober, alone, no, it was bad.

That sounds terrible. I know. I went as some act of rebellion towards no one. I have never heard a great story about Bonnaroo. Everyone's always like, it's very uncomfortable and hot and wet. Bonnaroo smells like eggs. I don't know why the whole festival smells like eggs, but it does. Yeah, that's actually why they started the festival.

They're like, okay, we've got four fields. They reek of eggs. What should we do? The headliners for the three nights, Childish Gambino, One Night Tame Impala, and Ariana Grande. That's pretty cool. Hey, man, that's cool. Tame Impala makes me laugh. They're just going to play every festival every summer until someone dies.

This is the first time I'm hearing about Tame Impala. Really? They're the tamest. I've seen Tame Impala by accident at least three times. They're everywhere. I like them. Their songs don't sound the same. My favorite of their songs is that elephant song, and then none of their other songs sound like them. Okay. Their songs don't sound the same. Like my favorite of their songs is that elephant song.

And then none of their other songs sound like that. Yeah. I like them. Anyways, there's also going to be- Is the elephant one of the masked singers? Kid Cudi. Yeah, probably. Kid Cudi is going to be there.

And that is the one memorable performance from the year that I went. He's incredible. And also Janelle Monáe. So check that out. But we also learned from Super Producer Anna Hosnié that Idris Elba... Oh, thank you for inviting me on the show that you didn't really...

Can I talk about it? Yeah. Okay, perfect. Haven't you already been on? No, I don't remember. Okay. Oh my gosh. Sorry, he really...

Anna Hosnié just came back from a Bachelor draft and is just on... Don't blow up my spot. You thought I was on one, guys. So, tell us about Idris Elba as a DJ, which is the most upsetting news I've heard in a while. I do it all in a British accent. Idris Elba.

I can't do accents. You are not doing it in a British accent, by the way. I saw Idris Elba. I can't do accents. You are not doing it in a British accent, by the way. I saw Idris Elba. So no, he actually used to be a DJ before he was an actor. Okay. So before you saw him on The Wire, before you saw him on Luther, like he was out here

DJing. He was a producer. He was on the scene. He's actually worked with a lot of really cool musicians. Really? Yeah. So when was this? Because he's kind of like an older guy.

Was his last... He entered the music industry at the age of 14 as a DJ. Was that in the 80s or the 90s? He's a little older, yes. So his last time, when he was last DJing, it was another era. No, I mean, he dropped- Is he just going to roll up to Coachella with a bunch of records and shit? Yeah, from two years ago. No, he dropped an album in 2010.

It's an EP titled High Class Problems Volume 1, which garnered a Billboard Music Awards nomination. I can't tell if this is going to- It's going to do- And he opened for Madonna's German tour. It's going to do one thing that I previously thought was impossible. Either make Idris Elba seem lame to

me or make actors who are DJs not seem lame. One or the other. He came out and said he realizes how corny it is, but he just really likes music. Which is so hot. He's still hot. It's hot to not be a DJ.

If you're a certain amount of hotness you receive, it's like a Hogwarts letter for hot people. You just have to be a DJ. You have to be a DJ. Also, the best part is he's also going to play a DJ on a Netflix comedy show coming soon. That's exciting.

It's called Turn Up Charlie. Turn Up Charlie. Does anyone know his DJ name? Yes, actually. I think it's just. DJ Luther? Damn, what is it? I completely forgot what his DJ name is.

DJ Luther. DJ Burboss. I think he just goes by Idris Elba, but I feel like before he was... Hell? Yeah. Stringer? Hell yeah. Okay.

Stringer hell yeah. Let's spend 10 minutes speculating what it might be. Yes. DJ Driss. He's on the Coachella flyer. It's just Idris Elba. Oh, that's cool. I think he's just going to be like...

Well, I guess he's got to be. Oh, Sora don't mean interrupts. Oh my God. Your accent. He's probably going to be so polite and cute. He's British. He's very polite. I don't mean it.

I'm just going to follow Solange. I don't know. Uh huh. All right. Nick is telling me to stop talking. So goodbye. Bye. Bye.

Hey guys, the markets. I know you've been dying to talk about the markets. Oh, yeah. And it was a bad day at the markets yesterday for all us capitalists. Not my markets. Yeah. So Apple came out and did something they haven't done in the last 16 years.

And it was to say they weren't doing that well or something like that they basically cut their forecast of how many iphones they were going to sell and people apparently that's not good uh because it both tanked their stock and all the stocks well it serves them right because i got my face ID doesn't recognize me when I'm tired and it makes me feel bad. That's so mean. I know. It's like you're too ugly to be connected to others right now. And they're saying that it also might have something to do with Trump's trade policies. That's the reason the markets are tanking, but they're actually blaming the fact that they started changing people's batteries out last year.

You know, when they had that, like people got mad that they were forcing their phones to like have battery problems and wouldn't fix them. And so Apple was like, fine, we'll stop breaking your phone intentionally and start replacing the battery.

They're actually saying that is what's fucking up their sales because their phones last longer now so people don't need to buy new ones so well tough shit like that's what you were supposed to have been doing yeah it's just interesting that like there's like we've we've always been like yeah they have this like forced obsolescence thing where they break your phone and you just have to get a new one uh but that was their entire business strategy and like it doesn't capitalism doesn't work anymore if you don't just like break stuff on purpose now we have to make a good product right god damn it um and in science news have you guys heard about this Ultima Fuel?

MU-69? No. Tell me. Okay. So it's the furthest thing that we've ever photographed. Cool. It's like billions of miles away from Earth. It's a, you know, some sort of spacecraft we sent out there a long time ago.

And they saw it. They wanted to get a better look at it. They sent this roving spacecraft to photograph it. Was it a planet? No, it's not a planet, but it's weird. It's almost like hourglass shaped. It's like two planets that are connected by an umbilical cord type thing. It's very hot.

This is a horny description. It's very hot. Are they fucking? Yeah. What's going on? What's the status of the planet? Basically, they're saying that everything out beyond our solar system is remnants from when our solar system started forming and stuff just like didn't it just like

froze because it didn't get close enough to the Sun so they're able to kind of look at this stuff and be like oh this is exactly what a planet looked like when it was forming like what this is probably what our planet look like a fetus right it's a fetus planet okay that's exactly right that's cool it is really cool and uh another cool thing that i hadn't really thought about is that it takes i think they said six hours for the information of the picture to be beamed back and then it's only like being back part of the information so we just like still have a fairly blurry pictures and it may take up to 20 months to download all of the probes data. So like that,

that also means that like in the future when we have first contact, we'll like get a blurry picture of the aliens and it'll be like over the course of months, we'll be like, Oh, that's what they look like. Just like Tinder. Right.

Exactly. Like Tinder. So relevant. That joke. Thank you so much. And finally, we wanted to talk about some hacker news. It wouldn't be a Jamie Loftus appearance if we didn't give you a hacking update. Major hacker news from the hacking capital of America, Brockton, Massachusetts, aka my hometown what so all you twitter heads may

be aware that uh migo's rapper takeoff was hacked this week on twitter.com what you may not know is that he was allegedly hacked by some kid from my hometown which is is, I was genuinely thrilled, but there's a lot of questions surrounding the hack. So the account description, because I saw a bunch of people from my hometown tweeting like, oh my God, Brockton in the news for hacking Takeoff, which is huge. And some kid from Brockton named Andy Gomes, that's where they traced where the hack happened. And also, Takeoff's avatar changed to a picture of some kid named Andy Gomes. Anyways, some kid named Andy Gomes is saying he was framed and he didn't actually hack it. Which, you know, even if that is true, I think, I mean, if someone's like you hacked Takeoff, I say run with that.

Right. That's a great, I mean, for young Andy Gomes, this could be a real get. Got a young Elliot Alderson right in Brockton, Massachusetts. I just wanted to tip my hat to the Takeoff hacker. Tip of the cap. A little tip of the cap to Andy Gomes from Brockton. Yeah, Hackton, Massachusetts. And who

I only reached the main point of my lecture right as class is ending. Then I yell at students about the reading slash homework as they leave. Yes, that was one of mine. No. Oh, no.

It was such a fun one. But my favorite part of it is that because he has like less than 2,000 followers, but this one tweet has 140,000 likes which is just like this every twitter user has one viral tweet and then below it they're like um i don't have anything to promote but thanks for caring i live and then that's that's what rory turnbull did i also like that the thread turned into other profession-based movie tropes. Yeah, a lot of good ones. And there's other good ones.

Yeah, so check it out. Find that Rory Turnbull, follow him, and then look at the entire thread. Yeah. A couple other tweets that I've been enjoying. Jerry Duggan tweeted a picture of Trump with his The Sanctions Are Coming poster because we talked about on yesterday's episode

how he had the game of thrones meme printed out at poster size on the table in front of him at his press conference yesterday and jerry duggan said maybe don't beg for a wall with a poster inspired by a show where a wall doesn't work which is a very good point and then oh yeah trump at his uh fake press conference today was backed by four completely bald men like bald white guys and sarah baity tweeted hey i think i figured out where trump collects his hair from but it really is weird i don't know why he has like a team of lex luthers just standing behind him uh and then in the tradition of Caitlin Durante's tweet that she shared, Max Silvestri tweeted,
