Starting point is 00:05:09 Excuse me, Jack, did you say COVID? That does sound like all the people I hang out with. Oh, no, Jack said COVID. I sat on my balls. This whole new way of life May give us new friends You know Hopefully ones that sound like that
Starting point is 00:05:34 For me How's everybody doing? How are you guys hanging in there? Good Good-ish I think it would be Utterly disingenuous for me to say I'm doing fantastic. I'm optimistic in terms of trying to maintain my own well-being and that of everyone around me. But I think it's hard because everything is in flux.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Nothing is certain at the moment in so many ways for so many people and that uh makes me uneasy and sad but yeah i'm i'm hoping that between our ability as human beings to take care of each other and possibly the federal government response that this can be somewhat less painful but i know you know i'm having to be honest with myself and thinking like, we're definitely just starting this process. It's only the third day for what feels like for us doing something completely new and different out of our, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:37 typical schedules and daily lives. Same time. I think we're nailing it so far guys. So, okay, good. Yeah. You you gotta have that optimism too yeah and I've loved hanging out with you guys in the mornings this has been the best part of my day
Starting point is 00:06:55 every day it's nice we should do more hangouts at night I'm telling you I have a standing night hang appointments with old groups like friends that have become sort of just separated and it's just so funny just talking shit with everybody through video and being mean to each other and like we used to when we worked at a laser tag place my oh my god that's great have you told the laser tag story
Starting point is 00:07:26 about a famous celebrity who watched you clean up at a birthday party Miles is it time to break that out I mean is that a week
Starting point is 00:07:42 two anecdote yeah when we get real nihilistic That might be some week two shit. Is that a week two anecdote? Yeah. No, I mean, it wasn't. When we get real nihilistic. When we get there, I can reveal weird rap moguls who made me feel uncomfortable when I was a teenage wage worker. That is one of, Miles has just bottomless treasure trove of great stories, and this might be one of my favorites.
Starting point is 00:08:07 So people, hold on i feel like i may have feel like i've said it before or it may just be it's so weird anyway whatever you know we got to give people something to live for exactly um we're gonna talk about a lot of stuff today we're gonna talk about uh what pop culture doesn't make sense anymore at least one song that i realized doesn't really it seems weird to me now for some reason we're gonna talk about that oprah q anon collab conspiracy theory q anon got oprah trending uh shout out to them she had to wake up she had to wake up for oprah to wake up, poor Oprah. I know. She had to wake up to be like, I'm not a sex trafficker. Good night. I was not arrested in Florida.
Starting point is 00:08:51 Meanwhile, RuPaul's fracking. RuPaul out here fracking. I'm not over it. Yeah, it's troubling for sure. We got the TDZ work situation Reddit thread going. So we'll check in with some of the folks there. But a lot of good upsetting insights going on there. Amazon, we'll check in with what they're up to.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Because as we mentioned before, they are planning to hire a bunch of new people up there per hour rate, possibly by $2. But then there's also some reports from inside their distribution centers that it's not as great as we all thought. Because we all have nothing but positive feelings for Amazon. Jeff Bezos, he's a hero. We're going to talk about the president we're gonna talk about uh racism we're gonna talk about those two thousand dollar checks we're gonna talk about uh whether he's good or bad at being a germphobe uh but really what we want to focus on is the fact that celebrity boredom is creating great content for us uh so we'll chat about that uh
Starting point is 00:10:09 but first jamie miles uh what what's something from our search history that we want to talk about oh oh god what was the last thing i searched i have a i have the fact that i i fact checked the I fact-checked the B-I-D-E thing, and it did autocomplete to T over N for me. Oh, bidet over Biden. Bidet over Biden. Bidet over Biden. Yeah, and that's after a lot of political Googling and very little poop-basedling uh that you know of
Starting point is 00:10:48 that i'll admit to uh yeah yeah we do have poop updates i googled um is is well well the i had to go with the autocomplete which was even more discouraging the autocomplete was is 25 too late to become a professional ballerina what was the answer yes probably huh no the answer is well yeah the answer is it's way too late and i'm 27 and i'm 27 and that didn't even pop up in the suggestions so they're like you're dead at that point hey yeah leave that alone it's over i thought i found something inspiring i thought that it was like there was an article that was like it's over. I thought I found something inspiring. I thought that it was like there was an article that was like, it's never too late to be a professional dancer. They're like, you can start as late as 13 years old.
Starting point is 00:11:34 As late as. As late as. Yeah. You're really on a black swan kick right now, it seems like. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm starting to see a theme. I was, yeah. You know, Mark, I'll see you at the Nutcracker Mother's.
Starting point is 00:11:46 I just searched to see if one of the dispensers I go to is still open. Oh, Isaac's trying to go to a weed store right now with gloves and a mask on. Yeah, no, they switched their service to curbside pickup or curbside transactions. So you stay in the car. Someone's like, what do you need? So it's like the old days. You know, back when you met in a parking lot to get your weed.
Starting point is 00:12:09 I think it's real folksy and it keeps everybody safe. Although it would be cool if weed dispensaries just turned into someone's Integra that you got into in a CVS parking lot. I feel like this is a really good chance for weed dispensaries to kind of maybe
Starting point is 00:12:25 go back to just being a guy with a snake. Back to basics. Oh yeah, just have a cool snake in your hand. What's up, dude? Wearing a Sub-Zero Mortal Kombat mask. Yeah. What is something you guys think is underrated at this time?
Starting point is 00:12:42 The last OG. Oh yeah? Oh, yeah, the Tracy Morgan show? Yeah, I've been binge watching it in the background of doing other stuff, but it's so good. It's so funny. Tiffany Haddish is in it.
Starting point is 00:12:56 I feel like I haven't heard a lot of people or heard enough people recommending it. It's really, really good, and it's on Netflix. And the marketing, it's a tragedy what they did with the marketing of that show because like for how how many like heavyweights for it to be a tiffany haddish and tracy morgan production and most people like huh what is that what is this i love the first season i haven't seen the second one yet but i really like the first season was it really good yeah it's it's really good. Tracy Morgan is an icon.
Starting point is 00:13:26 A genius. He's the best. Yeah, he's so good. Yeah, it's a really good show. Underrated for me is that Netflix party thing that we talked about in the trending episode. That Chrome extension. Yeah, it's pretty fun.
Starting point is 00:13:41 It reminds me. So if you guys didn't listen to the trending episode from the other day, it's basically a Chrome extension that allows you and a group of friends to like auto sync up the same Netflix program. And then it gives you a chat like text chat text pane that you can like basically chat during the video with each other. And like I regressed to being like a 13year-old using AIM to talk shit
Starting point is 00:14:05 while we were all watching cops on broadcast television. Wait, it's cops? It's a fun little distraction. You can do broadcast? I'm saying... Oh, that's what you were doing when you were 13. The last time there was synced up content, it was broadcast television, everyone on AIM.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Another fun little way to to connect and try and make some time pass by that's dope what'd you guys watch uh i i got them to watch uh uh people just do nothing oh okay which is one of my favorite uh one of my favorite mockumentaries coming out of the uk in recent memory it's and again i talk about this show all the time and maybe i'll make this plug again right now people just do nothing actually a it it won a bafta for best comedy series over fleabag season two in the uk that yeah it was like because it was so funny it's about these guys who live in england london um or an outside of l of London and they have a pirate
Starting point is 00:15:06 radio station and they're all like into the garage mc music scene which is already garage yeah garage music broad uh and they it's about just like these dudes who are struggling to be famous and like they just only have dreams of balling but they're so they're they are constantly getting in their own way and they have the greatest delusions of grandeur and like taking their art serious it's just a fun fun glimpse into that world um and it's one of my favorite uh shows so please check out people just do nothing it's on netflix all that's amazing that you brought that up because my underrated is uh fleabag season two have you guys heard about this? You heard about this priest?
Starting point is 00:15:48 You heard about this priest? You guys should check this stuff out. It's really good. There's a priest who, hot stuff. I'm starting to resent Fleabag, which sucks because I love it. But now it's like the new Broad city for like anytime a woman makes anything, they're like, so it's gotta be like this. And you're just like,
Starting point is 00:16:11 you just start to roundabout resent it. Right. I can only describe these works of art in terms of other projects from very narrowly the same demographic group. Yeah, I can't even, well, yeah, Miles, you know my best anecdote about a bridesmaid related anecdote. the same demographic group. Yeah, I can't even, well, yeah, Miles, you know my best anecdote about
Starting point is 00:16:25 a bridesmaid-related anecdote that I just simply cannot reveal. Yeah. Yes. We have so many things we cannot reveal. Wow. The secrets within our brains. I know.
Starting point is 00:16:37 The one work of art that represents all art made for that narrow demographic that is 50% of the human population yep and there is like literally so many other things like that's the problem it's like there's a lot of shows with like a lot of great female-led shows but there's just like three things that like people will be like it's is it broad city fleabag or bridesmaids i'd never heard of it you know right right yeah yeah the same thing i think it's just so it's the same thing for any demographic that isn't like you know our traditional cis hat like white man or like even white people because like even black directors
Starting point is 00:17:16 are like is jordan peele the next barry? No, they're different. What are we talking about right now? Okay, so it's Get Out meets Atlanta? You're like, no, I can't. You're like, no, it's a very straightforward horror film. Okay, so it's like Fresh Prince and Scary Movie with undertones of 12 Years a Slave. You're like, yeah, it's great. It sounds great.
Starting point is 00:17:45 It sounds good. What is something you guys think is overrated? Maybe this is where I can just cram in my... Do it. The song American Pie. It was playing in my head this morning when I woke up. And tell you what, what guys it does not for whatever reason it just like made
Starting point is 00:18:08 me laugh that the idea that there's the song that speaks in these like apocalyptic biblical allegorical terms about like 60s rock music at this time it's like a small airplane crash and they're like
Starting point is 00:18:24 the jester the jester. The jester and the devil are coming to take our music away. The way you're saying it sounds like a Conor O'Malley sketch. Right. It's just like, I fought the Shrek in the forest
Starting point is 00:18:42 and I had to put mud all over my body. Yeah. It's so funny that like you're like, I was singing about American Pie. I've heard that song probably so many times, but it's never a song I've ever bothered to pay attention to the lyrics or meaning. I'm like, I just know it as a melody. I don't know anything about the content. Oh, it's about, isn't it about Buddy Holly dying?
Starting point is 00:19:06 Yeah, Buddy Holly and the Big Dipper. But then there's also like other... What was the Big Dipper? Big Dipper. Big Bopper. That's who it is. Oh, boy. Now, that actually makes me less... And Richie Valens. Don't forget Richie Valens, too. And, of course, Richie Valens from
Starting point is 00:19:22 the movie La Bamba. From the movie La Bamba. From the movie La Bamba. From the movie La Bamba. Was very into that. That was the most old guy mistake where I called him the Big Dipper instead of the Big Bopper. But it's such an old guy subject that it makes me young. It actually does make you young. Yeah, it does make me young.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Yeah, I do. I was watching National Treasure last night because we're doing a Bechtel cast on National Treasure this week. Uh-oh. Yeah. We're going for the big guns, baby. We're going for the Cageverse. People need it.
Starting point is 00:19:56 But even just watching anything with a bunch of goofy, over-the-top drama nationalism, you're just like, oh, God. Nationalists are such drama queens. Especially when you put Nick Cage in the mix where he's just hearing a grown man be like, maps have legends, maps have keys. It's a map. It's an invisible map.
Starting point is 00:20:17 It's on the back of the Declaration of Independence. So you're just like, drama queen, please relax. I love it. Well, we can move right on to that myth about Oprah and QAnon, unless you guys had a different myth you wanted to debunk. There's no better myth today. No, there's no better myth to bust than Oprah being a sex trafficker. Even QAnon is getting bored.
Starting point is 00:20:40 I feel like this is something this is this is something else from q i think boredom may it's gonna render a lot of interesting results uh in this experiment if we even want to call it that of everything that's happening i mean we'll get to that but it's it'll be very interesting to see like you know a world where we're so overly stimulated to suddenly slam the brakes on that shit and what the knock-on effects of that are. So what happened? Oprah's name began trending on Tuesday night, I believe. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:19 And it was because of a QAnon conspiracy theory? Yeah. So I picked up on this on Twitter. I have been keeping track of trending stuff because I just don't have shit to do. And I saw Oprah was trending, and I think everyone is like, oh no, Oprah has corona.
Starting point is 00:21:36 But then when you look through it, it was all these tweets being like, oh, I can't believe, if this is true about Oprah, holy shit. So the rumor that was spreading, I't know what who patient zero was but it was a q anon original uh they should start a streaming service at this point uh but they so someone said that there were federal officers at oprah's mansion arresting her for sex trafficking and that was the rumor that happened and so people were freaking out
Starting point is 00:22:07 but i was and there's like a stock photo with like some police tape outside of a mansion they're like this is oprah's mansion definitely right and i'm like i guess i believe that sure why not and it was kind of funny because the tweets the tweets in like the twitter highlight that i was seeing were people who were like doubtful that it was true but still just enjoying engaging with the rumor like they're because because people were like even tmz isn't writing about it it's not real but until tmz says something it's real to me you know and so then so then oprah bless her heart has to wake up at 10.39 p.m. our time. So where does Oprah live?
Starting point is 00:22:48 I think Montecito, doesn't she? Like near Santa Barbara? Oh, okay. So 10.30 ours and Oprah's time. What a privilege to share a time zone with her. Has to wake up and whatever. She has a tweet. Just got a phone call that my name is trending
Starting point is 00:23:05 and being trolled for some awful fake thing. It's not true. Haven't been raided or arrested. Just sanitizing and self-distancing with the rest of the world. Stay safe, everybody. So this, like, the QAnon got Oprah out of bed. Do you know how much money that is? It's a lot of money.
Starting point is 00:23:21 I mean, especially her home in Montecito is known, is called like, I think she calls it the promised land. Oh, that's sinister. It's on 40. Have you seen that place though? It's whimsical. It's on 42 fucking acres that, and Montecito is right there like on the,
Starting point is 00:23:42 what they call the California or Southern California Riviera in Santa Barbara where she has mountain in her backyard and then ocean views in the front so she looks out into the ocean or like total greenery her garden is like on some next level shit it's on 42 acres it's I mean it's got a man-made lake. She's good. I mean, she's good. I just want to know. I mean, it's times like these that I'm like, how is Stedman doing in there? Oh, Stedman died. Stedman died four weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Stedman. Miles, that's not funny. Don't joke about Stedman. That's really funny. And she's not telling anyone. She's just in bed. She's in denial. I used to draw really...
Starting point is 00:24:26 She has a bunch of tanks full of drowned Stedmans throughout her property at the end of Prestige. Sorry, go ahead, Jamie. Or at the end of... Or like how there's all those Snokes in the Star Wars. They're like, oh, there's a million Snokes. It was just all Stedmans. I used to draw fan art of Stedman Graham and
Starting point is 00:24:48 um Jeffrey what's his name the barefoot Contessa's husband I used to draw pictures of them um spooning and like um not having sex with each other but almost everything but it was just a coupling you wanted to see it's just i know i just think that they're they're like they're like beta icons i love it right that is beautiful they're great i like them a lot at the same time uh you know until oprah broadcasts live from uh as miles mentioned, we call it the Southern California Riviera. I think we all refer to it as that. Until we hear her broadcasting from the promised land, we can't trust this denial.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Stedman could be tweeting from her account. Exactly. If he's even alive. I want to see a photo of stedman holding today's newspaper yes today's newspaper oprah i feel like oprah's like property is large enough that she could feasibly run a small newspaper just for her property or yeah i mean that's what oh is right that's what that's just the newspaper for her mansion? Circulation 1.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Oh, daily. Isn't that magazine only like it has her on the cover every month? Oh, yeah. That's wild. I mean, that is truly, yeah. Hey, I mean, look, when she's on the cover, they sell, man. That's the rules. Yeah, no, when she's on the cover, they sell, man. That's the rules. Yeah, no, for sure.
Starting point is 00:26:33 I've definitely seen interviews with Oprah where I feel like she, I don't know, she is on a separate plane of existence from the rest of us to the point that, like, were she not Oprah, it would be seen as some manner of like disorder or something but uh like disordered to thinking but because she's oprah it's just it's cool uh i just want oprah to be okay yeah it me too i mean i think that's when you look at the oh magazine twitter feed right now do you want to guess what the content is right now on the Oprah magazine? Is it like Hazmat Oprah? I hope that that's like the next cover. No, the very first-
Starting point is 00:27:10 I'm going to guess it's just like spring cleaning stuff. The latest tweet that just came out says, you'll want to live in these soft pajamas. Who doesn't cherish PJ O'Clock? No. How about another one this backpack this backpack gives you a massage while you wear it that was 21 minutes ago no i mean do what you got to do they just people got to escape a little bit i'm sure they have all this shit on auto everyone's well it is it is interesting i'd be interested to hear from some um some hashtag content creators from for like places like that where like writers just gotta like get stuff written right now because there's a ton of people who want to write stuff but there's also nothing to write about at the same
Starting point is 00:27:59 time yeah i don't know i've been i've been um been on long phone calls with my dad because he's just at his house alone. He's a sports reporter, right? He's a sports reporter and there's no sports. We were just brainstorming stories last night. Like columns he could write? Yeah, because they've got to fill time and there's also like this big anxiety with like writers who don't have anything to necessarily write about that it's like well you need to prove that you're still useful because
Starting point is 00:28:37 people are getting laid off right and left so um it's a scary time i I don't know. But we thought of some pretty unhinged ideas of things to write about. I'm sure with your imagination, your dad, he's going to have a book deal by the time this is over. I was like, Dad, you should honestly just start writing your memoirs and publishing it in the Patriot Ledger and see if people notice. Yeah. Right. Yeah, that's the same thing with my mom, who's a film critic, because everything completely stopped. There's no festivals. The releases are being delayed.
Starting point is 00:29:09 There's no junkets, press conferences. So yeah, it's definitely trying times. She should be publishing her reviews of movies that people should be binging right now. She'll probably just keep talking about Brokeback Mountain. That's my mom's favorite then do that 50 days in a row just different reasons you should be watching my mom my mom breaking down every day one minute of the film right there you go in-depth discussion of one one minute at a time but no she's a whole podcast sub-genre yeah right one minute at a time wow yeah guys i just realized i was at disneyland
Starting point is 00:29:47 a week ago you just realized that i was just but it was like just exactly a week ago i remember the only thing i can think about when i'm talking to you that next day when jamie came into the office i was like yo how was disneyland and you were like i don't know like i remember you were kind of processing it like you're like i may have completely fucked up right there well because i was thinking about because like because because super producer anna hosney and i were texting the night before and i was like i don't know should i go and there's like we were both like yeah yeah we should go and then it was like that the day i was there that things really blew up like yeah we got there at whatever, like eight in the morning
Starting point is 00:30:27 and then by the end of the day, Tom Hanks had coronavirus. Like, it was just- Oh, it was that Wednesday, right? Yeah. It was that day. It was the day that Harvey Weinstein-
Starting point is 00:30:34 This is the one week anniversary of the Wednesday when coronavirus became real. Tom and Rita, never forget. But more importantly, never forget Chet's announcement about Tom and Rita having coronavirus. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:47 My parents aren't tripping, dude. They're not tripping. That's truly the Zapruder film of the coronavirus era. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months.
Starting point is 00:31:13 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

Like if you're watching us, you have to tell us like if you're out the window, you have to listen to us i mean you can still watch us but you gotta listen like if you're watching us you have to tell us like if you're out the window you have to say hey i'm watching you outside of the window just just you know what listen to the amber and lacy lacy and amber show on will ferrell's big money players network on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever and we're back and zeitgang reddit put together a thread with people just kind of checking in about what they're all doing what their job situation is um we heard from some delivery people who are not being provided with hand sanitizer.
Starting point is 00:35:25 So that gave me and somebody else in the thread a good idea of giving your delivery person hand sanitizer the next time they come through. Do it in a non-insulting way. Or if you're hoarding 17,000 bottles, why don't you give them one? Yeah. Yeah. Also that. Amazon is hiring, like we talked about a few days back. They're saying they're going to bring on 100,000 new jobs.
Starting point is 00:35:54 But some Amazon workers were pointing out that maybe they should be looking out for their how they treat employees just who currently exist or before they start bringing on 100,000 new ones because not great. They've been treating their own, I mean, the people who work in warehouses are like so mistreated in the first place. It just, I mean, I want to give a quick shout out to,
Starting point is 00:36:22 because it's like everyone is rightfully being like, stay home, stay home, stay home. But I wanted to shout out all the Zeitgang who do not have that option to stay home. Yeah. Because that must be frustrating to hear all the time when your livelihood depends on you not staying home or your job depends,
Starting point is 00:36:41 like other people need you to be out, whether that means you're like a medical professional or a delivery person or working at one of the warehouses or whatever like it's not fucking fair it sucks and we appreciate you and um yeah yeah absolutely so i guess they're not putting new new rules in place at amazon uh centers, which you'd think like this is, you know, society wide. We are observing new boundaries, new ways of interacting with each other. Just the number of times we wash our hands, how far we stand apart from one another. we stand apart from one another and people who work at Amazon factories are saying, or Amazon warehouses are saying that it's more of a thing where there's a
Starting point is 00:37:31 bottle of hand sanitizer lying around here and there, but that's about it. So yeah. Well, and the same thing was true for like voting sites and stuff too. There was a tweet coming, I think it was out of Illinois where like a poll worker was like cool everyone just sent us our supplies and it was like one thing of clorox wipes and one bottle of hannah sanitizer for 11 hours of voting and you're like
Starting point is 00:37:57 jesus y'all like what is going on yeah yeah but hey you know they had to keep those primaries going uh despite everything so the dnc could just steamroll its way into a biden nomination that's i mean i don't i don't want to harp on that too much but my fucking god it's like that uh it makes me so frustrated if you're a fucking weasel though there's not a better time than something like this to like yeah yeah, in ignorance and be like, I mean, that's just sort of like what happened. Well, in the background, be like, fuck, yes. Like, let's just right. Let's just keep this guy who's telling everybody that people need free health care or like we need to tax wealth even more aggressively. Just sideline this guy as much as quickly as possible.
Starting point is 00:38:41 But I mean, I like. Yeah. this guy as much as quickly as possible. But I mean, I like, yeah, there's also that anxiety that we saw even in the last primaries, like even before the sort of pandemic had fully spread was people there's, you know, there are people who are hyper engaged with the politics of the candidates and how that relates to really vulnerable communities in this country. And there's also a very distinct group who are completely overloaded by all of the chaos that this administration brought even prior to the pandemic and just want it to be over um so it's it's tough to like try and yeah it's it's frustrating because it's like i don't know i i
Starting point is 00:39:18 admittedly rage tweeted about it uh uh last night and like the the response from i don't know i mean it's somehow it must have been a rogue retweet that sent a bunch of reply guys my way but it was just people being like you know you fucking bernie bros the dnc doesn't actually run the primaries blah blah blah blah and it's like that's not first of all the dnc's, like to say that the DNC doesn't have a huge influence over when the, like if the DNC had made a big stink about this, about public health, something would have happened. And also there's, it's so well recorded that like, I mean, the governor of Ohio went to the DNC, said we want to postpone. The DNC said no. So then they had to find another route to get it canceled. So to say that the DNC had no influence is so disingenuous and on top of that is not even
Starting point is 00:40:09 a bernie bro thing that is like the argument it's public health period like yeah there i didn't i didn't think that bernie was gonna win florida you know like it just but yeah and it's a public health issue for no matter who you're voting for. Yeah. And again, it's not even like, I mean, yes, there are many candidates who have supporters who are just completely in it for the personality. And there are many people who are in it for the platform. And I think the platform is what has brought in a lot more people this time around to Bernie or Elizabeth Warren, because there is a pressing issue of wealth inequality in the
Starting point is 00:40:46 country that has to be addressed. And even now, when you look at it, we've already seen Bernie has dragged Biden so far left for what Biden is normally used to. It's pretty incredible. I still don't think that's far enough. But the solutions we're even talking about now to address this pandemic are all rooted in the kinds of things that have been in bernie's platform and even elizabeth warren's and even andrew yang like of people who are looking so far forward of like no man people are so broke you actually need to supplement their income because other other people are doing so well there's you're leaving people behind or that we need to anyway so i mean i was making fun of it
Starting point is 00:41:23 a couple months ago but i'm like damn yang you got me you got me it's like i i am like i think i think a universal basic income is inevitable and i don't think there was ever really an issue with him talking about it because it's i i think for some people they thought it's ridiculous because it might not be as clear up front like what automation can do and what the sort of the nature of work changing is going to do. But yeah, it's, but now,
Starting point is 00:41:50 now we're talking about these things like, Oh, I guess we got to, I guess the, the state needs to begin helping the vulnerable. Huh? Right. It's,
Starting point is 00:41:58 I mean, I am like lightly encouraged by the fact that like Biden's campaign has been pushed to the left in in some ways um still shady as fuck but yeah i mean this is again i think this is the thing we've always talked about there's no way that you can you can come at a system that has created trillions of dollars in a very specific way to suddenly just slam the brakes on it. Like it's going to take time. But the other knock-on effect of this pandemic is there are a lot of people who need their rent freezed or their mortgages freezed and things like that.
Starting point is 00:42:37 And that's also creating a bit of awareness from people where it's like, hold on, I'm working. The government is telling me or my company is telling me I can no longer work to make money, yet the landlord is demanding to extract wealth from me when I have no means to make it. What the fuck is this? Yeah, I think that's a thing that I'm starting to see more and more of just kind of become a central narrative
Starting point is 00:43:01 is just people are losing their jobs and people not having money like it's it is what happens in a depression there's you know not people don't have enough money to pay for food for their family right it's i mean and it's can it is a little confusing because a lot of it like some of it is happening on like a city and like a state level so it's like what's true for me isn't necessarily true for everyone but it is some a trend that i've seen of like really like rent relief there's been uh in certain areas there's been an eviction freeze yeah um which is great but in areas, they say there's an eviction freeze, but the fine print of it is you won't be evicted if you have coronavirus,
Starting point is 00:43:50 which to set that precedent is so fucked up. What are you going to do? If you're going to get evicted, your only option is to contract a deadly disease to not have to pay. Yeah, go out and get coronavirus. And it's like, so I mean, some cities are taking
Starting point is 00:44:06 measures that are humane and some cities are taking measures that sound humane but you're only entitled to benefits if you first of all are and it's not just like you're displaying symptoms it's you have to test positive which is a whole other thing because there's not enough fucking tests yeah yeah can you imagine like that's the that's the irony of shit like that right like again that we're unable to treat people humanely because the legislation is concerned about the billion dollar companies who are going to take a hit from from their business rather than what's realistic for a human being and how do we treat them humanely because part of that is saying like okay well if we do this and we tie it to you actually having to have coronavirus that'll help
Starting point is 00:44:49 kind of cushion the amount of losses that can be claimed but at the knock-on effect is now you're incentivizing being infected with the virus to protect yourself it's so and it's and it's like you need to be operating on a decent amount of privilege to even like get tested you've got to get have a safe way to get to the hospital you can't be like fearing an ambulance like you bill there's so many yeah i don't know i i was this is the depressing part of the show we were uh walking to we bring like food to the encampment near our apartment yesterday um or we do we do it a lot but we did it yesterday and we had to like wear masks and gloves and the whole shit uh and it the good news is like the homeless population nearest us um at least has decent
Starting point is 00:45:37 information on coronavirus and knows hey if you're developing these symptoms you have to like self-quarantine in your tent or um whatever structure you're living in but it but people are sick and it's like it was scary and like frustrating yesterday to see that like there's been promises by the city of like oh we're gonna let homeless people stay in motels and we're gonna do this we're gonna do that and there's gonna be hand washing stations and those things have been said, but it's like, you know, two blocks over from where I live, there's two tents that are completely quarantined. And, you know, we asked like, hey, has anyone been by to check up on you? And the answer is no. And the only, you know, it's like, it's just, it's fucking dystopian. And it's, you know, like homeless people in the working class, everyone is affected first.
Starting point is 00:46:29 And it just, if you live near an encampment and you feel comfortable dropping off some supplies and you have a little extra to spare, recommend. It's so fucked up what's happening. And clearly the government is just maybe well-intentioned, but extremely slow to respond. And I also don't believe they're well-intentioned. Sorry. we are a society built on sort of the capitalist, kill or be killed, predatory, lack of empathy ethos. I feel like you could feel that when Sanders won in Nevada and everybody freaked out. You can feel it in things like the rent freeze where there's going to be things in the fine print
Starting point is 00:47:24 that try to find a way to fuck people over like there's just it's and people are going to pretend that two thousand dollars is enough or it's too much to send to people at this time it's just we we need like a full-on on sea change down to the cellular level of how our government, how our society operates and treats one another because it's just been drilled into our DNA for so long that you don't help people out. The way that the people who are winners got there is they are predatory. They take money from other people. They take more than their fair share. And then we erase that part
Starting point is 00:48:14 and make them heroes. Yeah. Well, I mean, the bottom line is there's always a point in any kind of business practice where you'll eventually have to make a decision of, do we do what's good for the sake of another person or do what is good for the sake of a profit? Or what do we do to protect the bottom line? And that's what we always see. Most of the legislation we see from all kinds of the policies are meant to protect the business owning class. It's never to actually protect the worker, the vulnerable person. It's always to ensure that the moneyed powers that be can maintain their way of life at the expense of many others. And I think slowly, I mean, you know, it was announced that a lot of the car manufacturing plants are shutting down too.
Starting point is 00:49:08 There's just going to be, it's going to be very painful for a lot of people. And the things that you'd hope that these legislators and business owners, if they're able to, or they are in a position where they have a lot of money on hand, be like, is there a way that I can actually give something up from my end to help other people rather than what can they give up so I can maintain my level of comfort? How many workers can I furlough so I can make sure I'm still paying out bonuses to the C-suite people at the end of the year? Yeah. I mean, it's been very encouraging to see people take care of each other.
Starting point is 00:49:47 But it's like, again, we're all getting fucked. It's just like so insanely frustrating. I don't know. I've been something something positive is if anyone has like thoughts and feelings on like, oh, here's stuff that you can do in the meantime that is helpful, that has felt good to me. Honestly, it feels partially selfish of the illusion of control is always really nice.
Starting point is 00:50:23 It's also, I mean, if you're making somebody else's life better and some, even if it's in a small way, like that's the sort of selfish we need to be at this time, I think. There was someone on the job update thread on Reddit that was recommending that if people have time and health and availability to go donate blood, that now is the time to do it. If you can, you have a safe way of getting there, set up an appointment, do it up. You can watch a movie while you donate platelets. It's dope.
Starting point is 00:50:56 And they'll give you free apple juice at the end. Free snacks, baby. Take some for the road. take something to the road um the other kind of over overarching uh development that i'm seeing is the kind of increased racism coming from the trump administration towards asians and asian americans uh yeah is really troubling there's a whole now fox News narrative about how we should be able to call it the China virus because it came from China. And then there was a White House aide who called it Kung Flu and to to a Asian-American reporter's face. So God knows what they're saying behind their back. um god knows what they're saying behind uh their back and it's just very troubling that you know well that's what as things get dystopian that yeah we have this administration in place
Starting point is 00:51:53 fox is trying to you know help the president because this is falling squarely on this administration's head and shoulders this is is completely a lot. Obviously, we can never say it's like they created the pandemic, but they did an awful lot to make sure that it was not going to be a smooth response. And the lack of testing should needs to be, I think, talked about constantly because they still have not solved that whole issue and it's like being in a fucking car wreck but we don't we haven't had an x-ray yet so we don't know what the damage is and we're just like walking like yeah i think i'm good i don't know maybe it's a lot of internal bleeding but i can't get to an x-ray so we'll just fucking deal with it then um yeah and yeah
Starting point is 00:52:41 the fact that they're saying a good job to like try and really double down as well as a lot of republicans and conservative pundits to make it this xenophobic oh well china did this to us look at what the chinese did to us look at this it's the china virus it's the wuhan flu whatever they want to call it yeah yeah i mean it's like racist and yeah just totally deflective of their own fuck up culpability yeah there's a bunch of uh there's a bunch of great videos of fox news you know from one day to the next or from one week to the next just completely changing their tone uh from being like this is not even going to be as bad as the flu. I don't understand what people are freaking out about to like three days later being like,
Starting point is 00:53:31 this is very serious. Yeah, straight to camera. Yeah, straight to camera. Yeah, I don't know. There was a point where I was like, is this as bad as the flu? And then, you know. Well, I think, you know.
Starting point is 00:53:42 I grew up. People are taking many different ways of like trying to yeah calm people of like look it it in like a flu maybe this isn't isn't fatal to everybody but that's really not the message they need to be hammering home it's that if this thing spreads we're going to overwhelm our hospitals and you are going to see like nightmarish, horrific images coming out of these facilities where versus the person next to you because of a lack of ventilators or other medical equipment. I mean, at this point, it's, I don't know. I've got a mom who is like glued to MSNBC and stuff like that. And I'm just trying to find like good news sources that are not like,
Starting point is 00:54:49 and not that MSNBC is the worst option, but just like overly partisan news sources. I'm trying to like steer people away from right now. And obviously Fox News is the devil, but just in general, I mean, yeah, if there's a good place for us to steer our parents,
Starting point is 00:55:09 that would be great. That would actually be a good, yeah, another good thread is just like what people's routines are for getting information right now because, yeah, I think the standard places are just falling down on the job. Broken. I'm still a news hour head. I still fuck with the
Starting point is 00:55:29 news hour on PBS a fair amount of the time. I feel like that's a little less. Yeah. PBS in general right now has been a fucking lifesaver because they're providing a lot of homeschooling materials for parents and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:55:47 Shout out to public services. I mean, I feel like I like to just go to the CDC website if I just need the most dry announcement from the medical researchers on our end because the second you go to any other thing, it's got a lot of commentary, which is fine because I think sometimes people need to make sense of what these announcements are but again yeah limit your updates to fucking two to three times a day like you're gonna hear everything you know eventually you'll need to hear eventually um and please and again i can't stress this enough don't look at
Starting point is 00:56:23 your shit before you go to sleep like try and give yourselves a few hours of respite from the news towards the end of your evening. I know it's very, it feels, you know, like you have to do it, but it will help you, you know, maintain a certain level of stability if you don't sort of interrupt it with these headlines and things. stability uh if you don't sort of interrupt it with these headlines and things yeah yeah i'm trying to yeah i guess let's let's start that thread on the reddit gang i'm about to be just on the reddit yeah me too of just like if if we're gonna limit our news updates where's the best place to go uh that isn't like gonna be super alarmist and it's just gonna give you information yeah all right let's take another break and we'll be back with uh what bored celebrities are doing to entertain us this summer the nation watched as the republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months.
Starting point is 00:57:25 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.

There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old the hot dog was.

And I think for people who especially thrive off of attention,
Starting point is 01:02:09 not being able to go out and hear the screams of fans and shit like that might be the part of the nourishment aspect that they aren't getting from day-to-day life. So now we're just getting a spike in IG Live content, new TikTok accounts being opened up, life so now we're just getting a spike in like ig live content new tiktok accounts come being opened up new content is being like released or weird live tweet threads from celebrities because they just want to do something um and some of these on tiktok baby yeah go to yeah the tiktok around the clock with anahosnia um so charlie xcx has like an entire lineup of IG live programming with celebrity guests like that.
Starting point is 01:02:48 She is actually, you know, like putting out there to be like, hey, I know y'all are bored, but let's do things together. So today on Thursday, March 19th from 6 p.m. UK time or 10 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. Personal training with diplo then the next day next day girls night in with rita aura uh then would you rather with kim petras and art class with clero on sunday so like she's doing a lot of uh like really interesting stuff like leveraging her celebrity friendships to create kind of interesting content for people to share i like that i mean there's been a lot of i feel like you know
Starting point is 01:03:30 celebs what they have to offer us is very specific it seems stupid but it is i i did a there uh there's been like free like uh like there's been free operas streaming if you feel like being cultured as shit uh the met has been streaming all they're just doing it and streaming it every night uh if you feel like being cultured with with your roommates one night or there's been because i've officially decided that i'm a ballerina now uh there's been like principal dancers that have been streaming just like classes and there's been workout streams there's been all principal dancers that have been streaming just like classes. And there's been workout streams. There's been all sorts of weird ass streams.
Starting point is 01:04:08 There's been comedy. I mean, everyone's fucking going live. It makes me nervous to do. But I'm glad everyone's doing it. I don't know. Yeah. And it's kind of- The main way I'm getting-

Starting point is 01:04:57 uh, Vanessa Hudgens. I actually haven't been paying attention, but I feel like she's the sort of person who would have some decent takes on you know what we should be doing how we should be thinking about this sort of thing just the boredom it's okay it's not just all entertainment either because you have miley cyrus went live with demi lovato and they were taking like fan questions and something happened where i think there was a moment where miley cyrus like or maybe we were just gay as fuck back then.
Starting point is 01:05:25 And I think a lot of fans took that as maybe implying that they had hooked up back in the Disney days because they both did that guilty laugh like, hey, hey, hey, hey, after. So people were living for that gossip. Then Vanessa Edgins, Edgins, Vanessa.
Starting point is 01:05:41 It's all like recovering Disney stars too. Yeah. Yeah, they just don't know how to act That's what we're discovering Vanessa Hudgens completely Embarrassed herself With her awful entitled take On self quarantining
Starting point is 01:05:55 She's like honestly they think it's going to be Until like this summer Like no, no way It's just a flu It's like stupid She tagged it by being like Yeah people are going to die It happens no way. No, fuck that bullshit. It's just a flu. It's like stupid. Well, then she did that thing where she tagged it by being like,
Starting point is 01:06:07 yeah, people are going to die. It happens. You're just like, yeah. She was like, oh, because look,
Starting point is 01:06:12 it's like people in their 70s and in their 80s are really at risk and they could die, but isn't that like inevitable? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:20 And then she's like, maybe I should stop doing this. Yeah, maybe you should. Yeah, maybe you should. I mean, I get it. Maybe in your mind you want to tell yourself that,
Starting point is 01:06:29 but that is just an awful, awful take to have right now. Yeah. Yeah. Also, yeah, Ashley Tisdale performing songs from High School Musical.

I think everyone needs to learn the one from Napoleon Dynamite. Ooh, that'd be fun. The gym dance is the dance at the end after they win the big game. Oh, and- In High School Musical. High School Musical, got it.
Starting point is 01:07:17 We're on this together. That one. It's really good. I've been working on the uh flash dance dance and the uh kevin bacon running through the empty uh warehouse and footloose dance yeah oh hell yeah yeah there there's a very complicated parallel bar routine in the middle of that one that uh always trips me up but yeah why is okay sorry i just uh scrolled past this billy's i'm always curious about how billy zane's handling the choir you know you want to know how he's handling it he yesterday he just posted a picture of him in front of uh a stock chart like the dow jones chart and it's just a selfie in
Starting point is 01:08:00 front of the tanking economy and then it's just the caption is hashtag stimulus so you want to follow whatever you want to follow whatever the fuck that is hell yeah dude that's just deep dude he's a bad he's he's a badass badass billy zane meanwhile alfred molina's cooking i found his finsta oh you found his finsta. Oh, you found his Finsta? Someone, our producer, Aristotle on Bechtelcast, hooked it up, and he just was like, I can't tell you how I know, but I know Alfred Molina's Finsta, so I know he's been cooking.
Starting point is 01:08:36 Ooh. The man has been cooking. Wait, like literally cooking or figuratively cooking? Well, I guess both. But he's been cooking and then he posted this really good old man post. There's a picture of his armchair and some books. And he's like, an actor holed up in the house waiting for good news. Sounds like my whole life.
Starting point is 01:08:59 And you're like, ha, ha, ha. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Still got it. Privileged take, but I love to hear it Fred was saying the funniest thing the other day what was Fred saying Fred Molina
Starting point is 01:09:12 he's so I'm just glad his Pasadena Playhouse run wasn't interrupted you know this is all meanwhile Spongebob the musical postponed I know I hear it's good right the broadway one yeah have you seen it i saw it's the only broadway show i've ever seen
Starting point is 01:09:34 wow yeah flex great recommendation and we do have an update uh an important update to an ongoing story that we've been covering over the past couple weeks uh so we covered how pizza hut and ikea were having a combined uh pizza where they were putting the ikea meatballs on top of a pizza uh well it doesn't it's not just a one-way street, you guys, because Ikea has released the Sava pizza table, or Sava, or Sava. Sava. Serve. What's an A with an O over it?
Starting point is 01:10:17 Pizza table. So this is the Ikea product offering that they are collabing with Pizza Hut on and it's that white little uh table that you put on a pizza to make sure the top doesn't like come down and collapse get all cheesy collapse on it uh it's that but blown up to furniture size i gotta say i think uh i mean i think the pizza with the meatballs is way better than a big useless plastic table that looks wobbly as fuck but i like i like where their head's at i used to i knew somebody's furniture who used to claim that their relative had invented that uh plastic
Starting point is 01:10:59 pizza thing and they were like super loaded because of it and i think it was yeah it was one of those lies like you heard when you were 13 and you had no way of verifying you don't know how to like check like the fucking you know the trademark department or see who has the fucking patent on that but it was like something that was said a lot about this one girl and i didn't to this day i don't know for sure uh if she is an heiress to the pizza table thing. Pizza table heiress. And what's a quarantine activity that we can recommend? I found a video on Facebook that I think a lot of people saw of a couple who blindfolded themselves or put their hoodies on backwards, spun around, and then had a pillow fight. put their hoodies on backwards, spun around,
Starting point is 01:11:44 and then had a pillow fight. It's one of the more anticlimactic videos because they just spend the whole time whiffing, swinging at each other and not hitting each other. Holy shit. It's like round one of a Floyd Mayweather fight for any boxing fans. It's just like feeling each other out. And they also do it right next to a ceiling fan
Starting point is 01:12:05 which seems like that's gonna uh be bad news uh but it it does look like fun if you can find uh the space and clear enough furniture uh i can say you do not want to do it with your two-year-old uh just based on that yeah anecdotal evidence anecdotal uh anecdotally you want to steer clear of of that um cool any other uh quarantine activities before we leave the zeitgang for the day guys i i got i got a i got a few things you can do down for the past the time down in the if you in the swamps like old james carville here uh what i like to do you want to get you want to get into whittling you see that's that's the art of of making things out of wood and turn them into more fun things so what i like to do is i like to i take my socks off
Starting point is 01:12:56 and then i cut my toenails at an angle so they get real sharp like and then you start whittling with your toes with your toenails and that's how we pass the time down here in the Bootskill. Okay, also what, poop update, he said? Yeah, I want to do a quick poop update. My other hobby in the choir has been just really applying some critical thinking to my poops and the poops of my family. Yeah. So, yeah, I yeah i mean yeah we were
Starting point is 01:13:26 saying is a diarrhea day a lot of hamburger meat going in a lot of hamburger a lot of hamburger i feel like it's like competitive ibs going on here something i mean i don't know if because i i i'm in desperate need for more like like raw vegetables um and everything i've been eating has basically been some mixture of cheese carbs and meat um i'm i'm about to i think i need to go snag some like broccoli or something just to bring my my diet back into just to mix it up yeah a little cruciferous vegetable for me when i I was a little kid, I used to love to eat a whole can of corn. That was my favorite food is a whole can of corn. And I've been getting back into it.
Starting point is 01:14:12 My boyfriend thinks it is disgusting. Wait, out of the can? You could put it in a bowl if you want. If you want sounds like you eat it out of the can. There's definitely not a need to wash an additional dish. Are you cooking it over a trash can fire? Do you have a bindle stick? Something about canned corn.
Starting point is 01:14:32 But if you eat canned corn and no other ingredients, that will give you some freaky poops. Yeah. I just also picture you not actually taking the lid fully off like the cartoons like the lid has to be kind of up at a 90 degree funny yeah yeah oh that's a that's another thing that i i was just kind of getting into anyways but there's a ton of saturday like old school saturday morning cartoons on youtube that i've just like had on in the background they put me in a good mood shit i'm about to start watching James Bond Jr., that fucking cartoon.
