what kind of terrible pool boy were you? Because to me, the only things that you could do wrong as a pool boy would be sleep with the lady of the house and then also not skim shit out of the pool correctly right i was i was at a hotel um but i slept with all the ladies of the house no uh i i was just i don't know i'm bad at small talk and i i guess like sometimes people that's good for a lot of people to just have somebody who's like quiet and there with a dry towel

um but there are also people who want to like chat it up and then i don't think i paid much attention to the ph balance of the pool and people's one time uh the power went down there was a blackout in new york city the year the uh summer that i was a pool boy and everybody came to the pool and within like 45 minutes it was like the color of milk and i think that was on my ass i was like oh damn that that looks weird right guys they were like yeah aren't you don't you work here um what did they put in the pool was it their sunscreen or their skin or something i think it must have been sunscreen ew i'm hoping it's sunscreen that That was my hope. What else could it be? Ejaculate? Yeah.

Ejaculate. Yeah. Yeah. More ropey. Oh, God. Look, I was a pool boy, too. You know, what are you going to do? You're like, oh, no, it ain't that.

Don't worry, folks. Just somebody spilled like oil. There's always like when people go on like tanning oil, though, too. Yeah. And then there's like a nice slick on top. Oilning oil though too yeah like suddenly like a nice slick oil slick on top and you're like wow okay we've been on this waiting list for uh since before no since the pandemic to get my kids swim lessons from this like very coveted swim teacher in the valley uh and he has this rule that he's like i can't have sunscreen in my pool and everyone just goes along with it like we all will risk melanoma to have our kids learn to swim from the sky um because apparently it does

just create a slick in the pool yeah i don't know maybe that is what happened yeah it's it's who knows i mean also why is this person so coveted like what's what kind of techniques are we talking here yeah i i don't he's like this the swim whisperer yeah there are thousands of those in la and they are all equally like highly rated i feel like that's a great racket to have but they also all have crazy wait lists right now yeah yeah yeah i remember when i met the guy who taught your kids how to swim jack and i was like i want him to teach me how to fucking live. Yeah. He was,

he had like such a good vibe. I was like, damn, I thought of the time I went to like swim class once. They just threw me fucking in and I was traumatized for the rest of my life. Like that is the way they used to do it. Yeah. And I,

and I fucking hated getting in pools and shit. Cause I always associated with like struggling underneath the water. And then like a celebratory can of RC Cola, which was not enough. Now they should have given you something better. Yeah, like Valium. Yeah. We had a swim teacher who

like I was like, this is my new guru. Just because they were like so soothing. Yeah, so soothing. And the way he interacted with the kids was great. Anyways, shout out to Swim Teacher. What kind of money is that? What kind of money?

Can you grind it out doing those swim lessons, I'm sure? Yeah. So the dude who I'm talking about, who was my guru, Bill, I'm going to go put his name out there. Wait, Swim to Bill? Yeah, Swim to Bill. Yeah, I think that's the guy.

Yeah. Okay. He let us wear sunscreen. He's the same guy. All right, now you're doing free ads. Allison, play this episode for him. Play this episode. But he would pull up in his Tesla,

get out of his car, still wet from the last lesson, get right into the pool that we were at, and just teach a lesson, hop out, get out. the pool that we were at and just teach a lesson, hop out, get out. You have to have it at a warm temperature so it's not like he... I'm sure that's both for him and for kids

who don't like it the cold. I like also the idea that when he also gets out, he makes his hand into a pistol and blows the barrel like just because he's on fire. He's great, though. You you're gonna love it allison anyway i mean we we were seriously no sunscreen all set and then our lessons got canceled right when the pandemic happened and then we've been trying to get back

into his womb like 98 degree pool ever since yeah and it hasn't happened. And if you do end up working with him, could you tell him I said hi? Of course I will. Okay, thank you. That would mean a lot. He'll be like, who? Anyways, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.

First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. There's good news on the rails in terms of the rail strike being averted by concessions to the workers. It appears to be some progress was made. So we're going to talk about that and America's rising approval of unions. Maybe that being part of the story there. We're going to talk about some bad news from the world of chess.

A little cheating scandal. It involves buttholes somehow. We're going to talk about King Charles III being bad for the monarchy, good for comedy. We'll talk about that. And homeopathy.

Did you know that? Oh, yeah. He's a huge homeopathy. The whole family, they're all into homeopathy. Did you know that? Oh, yeah. He's a huge home... The whole family, they're all into homeopathy. He's a big believer in... Vibes. Vibes.

Yeah. And his ability, he thinks of himself as a healer. That is something that he says. Oh, I love that. So you're a literal savior. Pratt Daddy Crystals, sold by Spencer Pratt.

Oh, that would be... I feel like they're kind of in the same... Yeah. Oh, same yeah family of humans yeah i do have the same birthday as heidi pratt wow you have the same birthday as a lot of name on tag name we talked about that on yesterday's trending but you have one of the 10 most popular birthdays in america also uh what's what's her face uh dina Lohan. Dina Lohan-Smith. Damn, you got all the queens. But before we get to any of that shit, Allison, we like to ask our guest,

what is something from your search history? It was very hard for me to choose because my search history has been a real cornucopia. I have been, I guess, very inquisitive lately and lacking info. But I chose... God, it's very hard for me. There's so many things which I feel reveal so much, but I Googled bench and also bench because I recently have come across both these words. They're both fun internet spellings of bitch and they both go back to like one of them goes back to

2019 one of them goes back to like the 2010s and i feel i'm just look i'm not young i'm not 27 like miles what i'm not i could have sworn you're 23 at the oldest thank you and now you have to go along with it. Exactly. Service days. But yeah, I feel like, like I have looked up based and I don't mean the, you know, Oxford English dictionary definition, like it's a book is based on, or, you know, the movie is based on. Cause I keep seeing like, when I see based, I'm like, is that a misspelling of biased? And I still don't know what based means. This internet lingo. Like, look, awesome sauce.

I can't stand it. Awesome balls. I can't stand it. But I know what it means. Based, I cannot keep it in my head what that means. And so there's plenty of internet usage that I don't know what it means. And I'm late to it. So bench and Binch.

If Binch might have just been a misspelling. So, Binch is B-I-N-C-H? Is that what we're doing? Yes. Okay. And it's just a way, a cute way of saying bitch. And I don't know if it is to avoid some kind of like

like text sweeper. Yeah. Yeah. But I guess it's been going on for a while, but it was that kind of like uh like text sweeper yeah yeah but i guess it's been going on for a while but it was that kind of thing where all of a sudden i started seeing it a lot and i'm like is this the new thing but no it's the old thing but somehow i only just started seeing it right right i mean i appreciate i take it you you guys have not seen it and you're hip no i feel like maybe like in a youtube comment i mean based obviously that's very shorthand especially when people are getting off their political takes or whatever you say that to say like you agree with somebody you know um oh and you know what you know i don't know if you remember little b

the base god remember base god little b um but that was just kind of a classic bench uh more the based god really this how we how we uh honor little b but yeah i mean like you just say like you know if you agree with some shit you're like oh that's based or like if somebody said how to take you agree with you be like okay based biden i i appreciate the courage of of coming in revealing this this is and this is big for me too because i i can admit that i've looked up cap i've looked up od what's od like overdrive like extreme doing od with it i was like uh-huh uh-huh i think miles used it i was like yeah uh-huh yeah no i i got that i got that wait how does base mean that though i don't

get it i honest i'm i feel like the first time honestly i heard it was because of lil b the base god and more times you say it the more times it doesn't it's still it's still not making sense to me it says the old white lady yeah i mean it's just saying that like that but that's how words come i look somebody i'm sure has the real internet etymology of where it came up but i mean that was always just about being like just doing you yeah you know so it just means you strongly agree with it yeah but if yeah exactly yeah if someone put like you know like fucking maga is a cult like and you know let's say like nancy pelosi was so brave to tweet that people would be

like based my based queen because for some reason it always sounds to me like i think because my brain wants it to mean biased that's how i read it i always think it's someone disillusioned look you know that's why at a certain point like you can just you can just know that they're there and just leave them, you know? No, I got to use them. I got to get in the mix. No cap.

You got based Rosen in the building. Okay. I got OD. Yeah. I got to say your true age, you know how the NBA has true shooting percentage. Your true internet podcast age just ticked up to 24 for me. I'm 23.

Oh no. I just got to keep you abreast of the stats. Yeah. What is, what's something you think is underrated? Oh, underrated? Or overrated? Overrated. Fong underwear. Okay. Yeah. I feel strongly that it is so, so uncomfortable. And I want my life's work. If I die and one woman pulled her thong underwear out of her butt and recognized that it was uncomfortable and she instead chose a full seat pair of underwear,

my life will have meant something. Because I frequently hear women go like, either, oh, I find it comfortable or like, oh, it's just going to

end up in my butt anyway. Right. No. Underwear, it doesn't have to be like this, ladies. Wow. If my underwear

is in my butt, it is a problem that I am seeking to solve yeah it's called a wedge there's a it's it's a prank yeah it's hazing yeah like we flip-flops are fine but imagine if there was an orifice between your toes yeah it would be uncomfortable if there was that flip-flop thing in there just rubbing against it's wild i remember like in high school always seeing them like damn like doesn't that suck to wear like a thong and then like my classmates are like i don't know you get used to it and i was like i don't know how the fuck i would get used to what we don't have to live like this

late who's like a famous consciousness razor? I want to raise conscious. I want to be like the Betty Friedan of underwear ladies because I sat there. No cap. I sat there yesterday with my underwear and I was just trying to figure out like, is there any way I could get used to a thong? And I tried to and I sat there and I just like put it in my butt, pulled it out.

And I tried to figure out like, where is the discomfort coming from? And it's really, this is too much information, but it's really down near the, the, the anus, like up high.

Your chest cheating zone. Yeah. Up high. If that's creeping into the crack, that's not really a problem, but it's just like down yeah low that we it really needs to not be near the action so anyway i just feel you know what let's just accept panty lines not a problem we deserve comfort life's too short pull that underwear out of your crack i rest my case there it is i'm gonna extend that to also i think thong

sandals are pretty uncomfortable they're not oh i like them i like them i don't like that i don't like having that shit in between my toes right you know it's and it's funny that you say that i my rebuttal that you would be you get used to it yeah exactly that's the thing it's like the only time i've ever liked it was like a year when I wore a lot of those. But when I first put that in, I'm just like, ugh, I don't like it. Oh, yeah. You always like wear that. Would you prefer like a slide?

Wear stuff like that in Japan. Yeah, slides or shoes. Have you heard about shoes? Like there's nothing in between the toes. Don't like that. I mean, I feel like the weird end around product is like you create like weird patches for your thong to make it like less, you know, impactful on your anus. Yeah. Like a sticker or something, like some kind of attachment.

Like someone put a band-aid between their toes to deal with the thong sandals. You put a band-aid over your ass crack so that it doesn't even go in there. There it is. There you go. Just get like a butt bypass so it's coming out somewhere else right right right i like a nice big baggy thong that's what i'm looking for you know yes yeah so it's just dang so it's just what's the point at that point right it's just like jewelry at that point so it looks like. It looks like the cables behind a stage with the curtains on a theater. Yeah, don't trip. Coiled on the ground.

I say to people who are walking by me. Yeah, and you're not using the slang. It's not like no cap and you're saying don't trip. Yeah, I'm not saying don't bug. Right. I'm saying literally don't trip. On your thong strap, that's as long as the kitchen corded phone cable that our mom yeah exactly what is something you think is underrated diet soda uh you might think

it's very popular what'd you say i said you're consistent how it's yeah listen here's the deal. Have you tried it? It's so good. It is so much better than water. It's not even close. Oh, my God. I like the water as the comparison point. You were struggling with this, I feel like, last time. Oh, was I? Did I talk about it?

No, I mean, not that it's the exact same thing, but I feel like this has been something you're like, I think water's all right, but you're like, but fucking diet though I don't know Did I say water was overrated? I can't remember I do feel water is overrated

Here's the thing I was off of diet soda and I'm not even talking about Diet Coke or Coke Zero ever since I had clear braces as a teenager the braces themselves didn't stain but the rubber had clear braces as a teenager, the braces themselves didn't stain, but the rubber bands did. Right.

I'm a fan of the clear diet options. Right. And I got off of them for a long time and I was drinking water like all the other human beings. Right. And now I don't like it. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. Just I'm an automaton. And no, I don't like it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Just, I'm an automaton. I drink water. I go to bed. I get up. I go through my day. Right. You know, like a robot.

That is a good impression of me. Yeah. No, I, do you enjoy, if you enjoy water, that was an impression of you. But anyway, I recently backslid. Now I'm drinking Diet 7-Up again. And oh my God. Have you guys tried this stuff? Seriously.

I had forgotten how good it was. I realized I sound like someone who is like doing heroin again. And I'm like, oh my God. Have you tried it? It really takes all your pain away. It's so good. But like, oh my God. It's so much better than water everyone try it it

is really diet seven up all right it's so good refreshing it's crisp it's thirst quenching now when i go to bed i put a can of it next to my bed along with my water and i drink both the middle of the night it's so bad i recognize this so you don't mind it being a little warm you you'll take a warm guys i prefer it prefer whoa oh my god bad you guys and i'm now i'm embarrassed you got kids allison you got kids and you're living like that you prefer it up by the bed like that are you crap do you treat crack it how does that work?

And we have an update on the Rail Strike story that we were talking about on yesterday's episode. yesterday's episode, because we were talking about the fact that a lot of the corporate media and the business media, your Bloomsburg and other outlets like that push the panic. And now the latest story coming out of mainstream media, like VAP, for instance,

is like, we found a deal. We got a deal people are hearing from union members it's not so clean cut and they seem still like kind of unhappy so the deal hasn't been ratified right but the way the ap is reporting is like ah the rail strike has been averted and i don't know it at least seems positive that it's going in that direction and not like bring Congress in and fuck your medical procedures. You must work now. And I don't know, like when you look at the deal terms, the thing that's being front loaded in the news stories is raises and, you know, them making decent money because of this deal that they're offering the unions. But then you get a few paragraphs down and the details of how bleak the situation is that they're trying to work their way out of is somewhat crazy. I'll just read directly from this AP story.

The deal includes one additional paid leave day a year, but railroads also agreed to let workers take unpaid time off for doctor's appointments and medical procedures without being penalized under their attendance rules. Yeah. So you're allowed to see the doctor. You better not see the doctor. Right.

That's sort of the tone of like, okay, well, if you have a human body that degrades, that's on you the tone of like, okay, well, if you have a human body that degrades, that's on you. Right. Yeah. And a lot of people have talked about the fallout, like the personal fallout, like how many marriages have even like crumbled because of this shit. Like and how like it's just created like a mental health crisis with people too, because they're truly in this place. Like, I don't know if I can live my life tomorrow and yeah small small victory but i think i also would hope that rather than because right now everyone's like

yeah all right they they fucking figured something out it should be yo shame on these fucking railroad companies for holding the economy hostage right and like trying to get it to this point with their brinksmanship over profits like that's really disgusting and like you're saying just like when you look at what the minimum that they're getting now it's like that's a fucking bleak life and there should be more like you know shame on you shit you know being that kind of energy being pointed at the railroad absolutely should we shame them yeah for shame for shame. For shame. For shame. A hearty tsk tsk.

You think you're so cool. You're not. There it is. But I just feel like this is very important information for everyone to know as we head into a rolling news story that's going to be with us for years and years of like your Starbucks and Amazon's, you know, ramping up the, we're a family. You don't need unions. Like unions are bad rhetoric that like when it comes down to it, the thing unions are fighting for are letting people go to doctor's appointments without getting fired. Like that's right. That is truly wild truly wild uh inhumane shit that corporations are like going to the mat

over you know left to their own devices they'll force people to work sick and not allow them to get medical procedures yeah hey you know also just looking like you're saying like a good time for you know pro-union sentiment you know but again just to reiterate this is the thing that the you know employer class is the fucking is so frightened by yes people that work for them just being like hey man what if we organized our shit and flexed our power because actually the whole equation is without us they don't make shit yeah one thing i do want to just touch on with the with the rail thing is that it hasn't been ratified yet. So it is a tentative agreement.

It very well could go in front of the union members and they're like, this still is not enough. So it's important to know, although there is a tentative agreement, they could be right back having to advocate for themselves again, in which case we should be prepared and not be like, I thought it was over. Right. and not be like, I thought it was over. Right. But just generally, America's approval of labor unions is at 68% after being at 48% in 2009, which was an all-time low.

And I do think that is significant. Like when Reagan fired all the air traffic controllers and professionals in the early 80s, the general sentiment about unions was at a decades low like the lowest it had been for 40 years so i i do think that that informs how politicians behave and how you know how things like this go and also how the companies behave right right like just recognizing that they can't do what john deere did last year where they tried to fire all their Right. Right. that are probably driving the rise in popularity of unions. And from that story yesterday where we hear it constantly,

the pandemic, really fucking... That momentary pause where people were like, wait, what? Oh, I can't toil? We're not able to toil because of quarantine? That suddenly a lot of values shifted. And a lot of people began to really like have a reckoning with this idea of like, you just fucking work to live and that's it. Like that's all it can be.

And I think it's great that I think the byproduct of that are more and more people realizing, well, if I don't want to do this, what's the path to do that? And if that's through collective organizing, then so be it. That's why I'm back on diet seven up. I like really life is short that's right i don't want to just drink water yeah man yeah um what do you think accounted for such a low opinion of unions i think we had a long run of just monolithic messaging from the media like from the clinton you know reagan clinton like up through bush like that everything was just this pro-corporate like corporations are going to take care of everything as long as like america's economy is up and Wall Street is humming, that is the marker of how healthy the society is.

And 2009 was the year after everyone was like, wait, what the fuck? Like you were saying with the pandemic, I think the financial crash in 2008 was like America coming to in the middle of a blackout being like, whoa, where am I? What was happening here? Who are all these creepy people in masks around me in a circle of candles? So is it like the anti-union sentiment, perhaps this is probably oversimplification, but like stems from this, like

I'm going to go out and be an individual billionaire i'm not gonna be a socialist i mean there's also two like in 2009 i think it's interesting because i think there's the bailout for the auto industry and that like the sentiment was sort of like i think the biggest thing was that unions only benefit those people right so i don't fucking need them and they're not important and i'm not tapped into the idea that people deserve better because right now everybody got fucked in 2008 so coming off the heels of like why did that whole industry get bailed out and then i think from there you're able to even massage the narrative even further and have pundits on tv being like well this is the

problem with unions and like reinforce this message And I think the biggest benefit now is even if you're not in a fucking union, you can empathize. You'll look at your own working situation and be like, damn, I wish we had it better. Yeah, fuck yeah. I like what, fuck yeah, these people fighting for themselves.

I fuck with that because I'm tapped into my own fight as well. And I think that's probably one of the biggest changes too for sure yeah and the the people who unions are most popular with people who are in unions right like you know all the talking about once you're in the union like they're gonna charge you all these fees and you're gonna uh the people you know it's currently 86 percent of union members approve of unions it was 93 very recently like it's just incredibly high uh and it's unpopular with republicans they're the only people who fall below 50 percent in terms of union approval so right it

also feels like this is an area where like big d democrats are maybe getting the message that they have a winner here you know it's like a political winner tied in with being the right thing and a thing that works for you know u.s workers and like just america in general is like taking care of people because they don't they'll milk that though you know they're like yeah just give them a little bit don't go all the way there right don't go all the way there because if we know how to properly squeeze the berry then you don't you know yeah and again you know this is not a end zone dance because we don't know what what is going to ultimately happen here but it does seem promising, at least that the AP,

like a very mainstream news source, has this article up that is just nakedly showing what looks like a win for union membership at a time when the corporate media wants us to believe that Starbucks and Amazon workers, that it's a both sidesy thing. Well, it doesn't seem to be both sidesy. Once people are in a union, they seem to be pretty happy that they are treated like human beings. So miles,

you said properly squeeze the berry. Is that some hip new slang? That's just me being a berry juice fanatic. You know, don't you don't, there's still good juice in there. Which berry are we talking about? In my mind, it's actually a cartoon one.

It's very non-specific, but it's bluish purple. And there's a little juice drop coming out the bottom when you squeeze it. But not too much because there's only a couple drips in that thing. That was sort of what I was evoking. Yeah'm yeah i'm picturing like a big cartoon like blueberry plum situation yeah yeah for sure i'm not i don't know enough about berries to think of what you could actually juice like that so it's all i revert to hannah barbara or warner brothers cartoons uh all right let's take a quick break we'll come back we'll talk chess we'll maybe even get to Prince slash King. King Chucky.

Had a 53 game unbeaten streak going fairly recently. I don't know. Did you guys watch that documentary about him back when netflix only had like a good documentary every month i saw part of it and i was just kind of like all right i like searching for bobby fisher and fresh that's my chess movie that's my chess content yeah um but anyways he's a prodigigy and he has cool hair. And those things came together to make him sort of a national celebrity. And he's continued to be, but he just got beat by a random 19-year-old American, Hans Niemann. It's really interesting.

So this apparently fucking set the whole chess world on fire when he lost because it was a huge upset. And pretty much like on paper, the biggest because going into this tournament, Neiman was, I think, the lowest ranked player there. So it's like literally top like bottom beating top on the fucking ranking chart. And after the loss, Carlson like withdrew from the tournament in dramatic fashion and he tweeted this like video clip of the football manager jose marino who he he would like he's like a salty coach who like when he loses would always say shit to get him in trouble so there's this clip of jose marino being asked about like the officiating in the match that he felt like his team got robbed he's like if i say anything more i'll get in big big trouble so i prefer to say nothing and he tweets that and everyone's like

yo what's he trying to say like what could he say what's he trying to imply here and that just set off like a wave of conspiracy theories and there were all kinds of accusations against him uh like for example they said oh he might have had a shoe computer and people like like, what the fuck? A shoe computer? Like something that was clearly messaging him or giving him some kind of signal on how to move the chest pieces, I guess. Once again, showing the superiority of shoes over

flip-flops, by the way. That's true. Okay. The technology could get advanced, advanced though and that little bit that rests between your toes that's where the stimulation comes from i don't know think about it cheaters uh another one was that carlson's like someone in carlson's like circle had like leaked his preparations and so uh this guy was able to like prepare like to the like know exactly what the fuck he was gonna do and that's how he was able to defeat him.

Is that how chess works? I guess it's similar. I think because there's certain ways of playing. People were saying the line that he or whatever, the strategy that Neiman took was one that maybe Carlsen was absolutely not preparing for at all. And that's why he was caught off guard. I have no. I saw the Queen's Gambit. And my understanding is he was caught off guard. I have no, I saw the Queens gambit. And my understanding is you take drugs and then stare at the ceiling.

Yeah. Have you guys seen that? That's how you prepare. I mean, I've been doing that even without a chessboard in front of me and it, and it works folks. I'm one of the best players out there. But then after the plans were leaked or the shoe computer,

people were just like, yeah, maybe, maybe. And then like this other fucking theory came up that perhaps the guy was using

vibrating anal beads to actually signal what move to make I know that was my first thought right right right and let me just play this so you can hear like this guy is on a chess live stream and i think he's like fielding like he's like yeah i could see this or this that and someone is you know suggesting this and he's like

that's probably a good one right an anal bead probably would beat the thing i i'm serious the engine i it but probably i don't know i really don't know like think about it i don't know I really don't know like think about it I don't know think about it I told you it was a prostatism but I'm not an expert at that stuff I don't know what's going on in his chat anal beat

yeah I can see that he seems like he's getting his mind around it just a remote anal beat and he was saying that that would be connected to like a fucking chess playing ai right so that like someone somehow could be feeding like the real time analysis to his vibrating anal bead which would then tell him where to move the chess piece so everyone is really stretching to try and explain like how this kid went from zero to hero overnight and a lot of people point that like,

it's possible because he admitted when he was like a lot younger, when he was a kid that he admitted to using like a chess program that his friend was running during an online tournament, which is like really frowned upon because it's all supposed to be like a fucking brain measuring contest. But there's also plenty to suggest that he's also like a talented player that has been consistently outperforming his like official player rating so i don't know now there's people calling for him to prove he wasn't cheating even though like like he says like the proof is in the game well he said look what do you want me to do play butt naked i will butt naked but we are

going to need to have somebody with a you know somebody who's willing to do a prostate massage during the course of the thing right or a see-through chair at the very least yeah you know so you can see his butthole I don't know I don't know there's a bunch of for it to work you have to do

like an actual like like jail intake fucking procedure to be like all right now spread your cheeks squat cough open your mouth stick your tongue out like that's right i mean if that's that where we're headed i don't think so uh but it's it's possible um there is a naturally one of the biggest porn cam sites is offering him quote up to one million dollars I'm not sure how that offer works to play naked on their site I mean there's

a bunch of interesting stuff here like chess is becoming very popular I've heard it attributed to the Queen's Gambit and you know a bunch of things but it feels like it's like have you guys heard of this new online game everyone's

playing chess chess.com like my six-year-old's obsessed with chess like a bunch of his friends are there's a booming year old yeah yeah there's like wow his friend is like obsessed with chess and minecraft like and treats them interchangeably um so it So it definitely seems like a thing that is becoming more popular and is also becoming more online. And in becoming more online, we're going to see more stuff like conspiracy theories involving vibrating anal beads popping up.

Can we just go back to the vibrating anal beads for a second? They're remote. First of all, they're remote. That's how they're able to signal the AI. They're not just regular plug-in anal beads that vibrate. They're remote. Remote. What does that mean? They're being controlled remotely.

They have an antenna. You can signal it like someone else can control when it vibrates. That's how it's meant to give the pleasure. Feeding the moves into a board like feeding the moves into a board that like then, you know,

computers are still I think the best at chess so you can get the best possible move and then communicate that back to his anus. And it's a computer doing that or there's someone

who's looking at the computer? I'm assuming he would have somebody. Probably someone who's watching the board feeding it. A go-between. Right. Right. So this is all happening so fast but like, someone who's i'm assuming he would have somebody probably someone who's watching the board yeah feeding it between yeah right so this is all happening so fast but like that means he would have had to practice with the bead to know whatever the like right like morse code or the

length of the vibration so this is yeah you would think that watching the film film the film is it on film watching the match you would see him like you know like pivot or move or do some thinking or gesture or grimace or something because he's getting you know and that is suspicious then that does make me think i mean yeah i don't i mean because you do stuff like okay isn't it like ec2 to c4 type right how could how could a bead communicate all of that e2 to e4 like what i mean that's a lot of a bead communicate all of that e2 to e4 like what i mean that's a lot of a lot of buzzing that are that's a thing that scientists so that's another interesting angle is that sensory inputs and like basically giving humans new senses is something that like kind of cutting edge neurologists are experimenting with like they've done experiments where people have a belt that

lightly vibrates to the north what like at all times and you just develop this amazing innate sense of like true north essentially and there's they've also done experiments with um people who are hearing impaired and like a vibrating like two-dimensional thing on the tongue that like vibrates with regards to different sounds in it basically like once you have spent a lot of time it becomes a new sensory input that you can kind of it just like plugs into your brain like that so that's the thing that i think we're going to be seeing more and more of. And this might just be the strange, very public first instance of it being used in a very interesting way.

There's so many technologically refined ways to do that. And they're like, yeah, man, he's got a buzzing ball up his ass. Right. Like to do that. It would be the best place to hide it, though. The shoe computer is much more elegant, really.

Right. Shoe computer also kind of a bummer, though. Right. You know, like it feels a little bit like, oh, shoe computer? Like, what's it?

It doesn't sound, it's not, unfortunately, it's not as exciting to hear as remote anal bead. It's true. Right. Vibrating remote controlled anal bead using AI.

Then shoot computer. Yeah, that really does excite the senses. Yeah. Shoot computer. I'm like, all right. Like, I remember LA Gears with the light up fucking souls in the 90s and beyond. But whatever. It feels regressive.

Yeah, it does. We're trying to go forward people don't thank you also why do all chess guys look like crisis Harry Styles Harry Styles is at the end of his rope after a very long like personal

crisis of some sort the photo from the match I'm like none of these guys have ever even touched their heads with their hands. Like, it's just like so feral. Like, it's like,

so that's, Magnus has always had like a big mop of hair that's like very unruly, like sort of young Einstein-esque. And my,

my assumption is that because he had that hair and it became this iconoclastic, like best in the world at chess that everybody else is probably trying to pull it off. You'll notice that the person he's playing against who,

who beat him does not have the hair for it. Like he's not, he's not pulling it off as much as Magnus is. Yeah. It's like, he's got like thinning hair and it's kind of all, it's not a great look for him, but he's doing it.

In my mind, Neiman's hair looks better than Carlson's because Neiman looks disheveled. Like he looks like he's living that life. Okay. Carlson looks like he's like, yeah, this is my swag. Neiman looks like,

yo, bro, I don't have shit to do except jazz. Yeah. No, he is pulling it off. I was probably a little bit. No, it's fine. It's in the eye of the beholder. You know what I mean? I mean, Neiman looks like there's something in his butt that's vibrating. He's got a wild look. He is covering his mouth as

hard as he can. Biting his fucking hand like, sir, are you okay? He's like, okay, did I win? hard as he can he's got a wild look like sir are you okay he's like okay did I win oh fuck oh boy but yeah I don't know we'll see if he takes it

what if he sneezes he sneezes in it like oh it's like face off when he's if you sneeze your voice changes back because of that little vocal computer chip. Yeah. These are the questions. This is the only story we're going to be covering for the next couple months as we get to the bottom of it.

Someone could bring in a salad and they'd be like, fresh ground pepper. And they're like, no! And that could totally foil the whole thing. Yeah, they add now mandatory moment in every chess match. Someone tickles your nose with a feather. Yeah. Oh, and that would be embarrassing.

And then he stands up after the match is over and he walks and like the anal bee just falls out of his like pant leg. And it's like, got you. Got you. Busted. Hate to see it. All right. Well,

we do have to talk about the return of Taco Bell's Mexican pizza is officially back. The return of the king. The return of the king. We don't have time to dig into King Charles, unfortunately. No, really. Right now. In the remaining time. We do have time to let you know the Mexican pizza is officially

back this week. You know, a resurrection that will presumably be in the New New Testament. The Fourth Meal Testament. One day. It did come with the accompanying Dolly Parton musical as promised.

Oh, it did? I think so. Oh, I love this this i didn't watch it it's one of those stories that's like oh that's amazing what a like fun marketing idea but then like i would never actually like watch yeah you're like all right and um yeah so when we last discussed this i was like you know dolly parton had that interview and then they reached out and they were like, we're going to do a Dolly Parton musical about how the Internet lost its mind when the Mexican pizza was axed in 2020. And so the evidence that we have that the Internet was really up in arms about this was that there was an online petition that racked up 200,000 signatures. Right. petition that racked up 200 000 signatures right um but to put that in perspective there were 200 000 signatures to save lucifer that fox tv show in which my parents liked that show yeah oh yeah

a lot of people big lucifer fans yeah that's the show where the lapd solves crimes with the help of the devil so check it out but yeah sick sick anyways i don't know if that petition was successful but the mexican pizza petition has been successful one story is that they've updated the box with regards to the okay it was too cumbersome it was too cumbersome they said that it was like when they canceled the pizza in the first place, the box accounted for over 7 million pounds of paperboard material per year in the US. It's like... So they changed it.

What did it come in? A paper anvil? It looks like a full-on pizza box. Yeah. Okay. Like, I remember back in the day, it was not in, like, a pizza box. It was in a way shittier, like, single...

Like a... You just threw it at you? Yeah. And we'd eat it just like a pizza box it was in a way shittier like single like a you just threw it at you yeah and we eat it just like a like a big frisbee no it's like a like a very thin paper box it would come in yeah and so and and then they brought it back in may and it was still in that same box but now for the big relaunch it's in a slightly different mini pizza box that is, I don't know, you guys can look at it here. The dock, it just looks like a pizza box. Yeah, that's too much. It's a lot of paper.

It doesn't seem like it cut down on the amount of paper that's being used. It's funny. I love Taco Bell, but I can't have that much tangible evidence around that I love it. that much like tangible evidence around that i love it you know like yeah the fucking papers that wrap my little tacos and stuff i can fucking crump condense that into a fucking the density no one has ever seen and then throw that away in a taco shell put it in an edible box right this is like evidence this is too much like i would hate to see my neighbor like i'm pulling out my recycling can they're like oh the mexican pizza is back huh because the lid doesn't shut i'm like shut up man i do feel like when you're walking around the streets of los angeles at least

you see like a lot of empty beer cans and like empty you know vape cartridges and empty vape cartridges and things that are vice. And the food version of that that I see the most is Taco Bell sauce packets and stuff. Right, right, right. Exploded. Yeah, people treat Taco Bell as though it is a drinking problem. Yeah, like you're drinking that six-pack before you go home in the cul-de-sac around from your house. Yeah, just getting rid of the evidence by all means then it's all then that neighbor has come up why

do they always drink here why do they always eat their taco bell here yeah it's always a mess there was like a spot like that in the neighborhood i grew up which is basically like it was near the freeway so there weren't really any neighbors or shit and you just you just partied by the freeway right there and left all your Taco Bell and beer bottles. Yeah. Okay, I'm not a fast food person and you know, given my... How? Your blood type is diet 7-up

and you're not a fast food person? That's what I was going to say. You know, given my beverages, that I do not treat my body as a temple or anything. However, I'm looking at pictures of the Mexican pizza and this actually looks quite good. Oh, it is. It is.

It's so good. It's incredible. Is it spicy though? It's so good. It's incredible. Is it spicy, though? It's not that spicy. I mean, you can... No, no. Everything at Taco Bell, I feel like, is around the same level of spicy unless otherwise advertised. Even the spicy chicken quesadilla is not spicy.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Okay. It's just got a little... They know what they're doing. Like a one parsec of aftertaste, and then it goes away. But, I mean, that's where the fire sauce comes in, which is why people are having

to get rid of the evidence all over the city. You have a Baja Blast before, Allison? I haven't. Wait, what is a Baja Blast? Oh, shit. Wow. Kiss your family goodbye. Why am I going to marry that instead? Metro, a diet Baja Blast?

Uh-oh. Do they have that? There's diet Baja Bl baja blast oh do they have that there's diet baja blast i think they must yeah yeah they do they have diet baja blast zero i know that for sure because i have some in my refrigerator there it is just try it you know if you're willing to risk it all i am i'm telling you i feel like i'm in a, I'm really ready to throw it all away right now for a drink, but not that kind of drink. Right. A soft drink. For something truly something. I mean, honestly, I honestly think this is probably worse for your body than any alcohol.

I think I'm in a rut right now. So, yeah, I will try a Baja Blast. Okay. It'll give you something to think about for sure at the very least. A little Mexican pizza, wash it down with a Baja Blast. It'll give you something to think about for sure at the very least. A little Mexican pizza, wash it down with a Baja Blast. The packaging actually looks so much like a pizza box that I'm wondering if they are aware of how people think about their food to the degree that they're like,

look, people think you're just eating a regular pizza from a a pizza place and that's acceptable that's socially acceptable as opposed to you know the mexican pizza which is um which is bomb dude what you got something to say someone tried to meet mexican pizza shame me oh no no i'd have time for them pizza hut you know in a little bit of synergistic marketing pizza hut like did a sort of buzz marketing thing where they were like well we're releasing an italian taco and it was just somebody holding a folded over slice of pizza okay um but then the internet took it seriously they're like oh they're at war and it's like no they are the same company they are the same person right it's the same you're watching someone argue with themselves yeah did you guys see that hot dog popsicle did you talk about that on this

show i don't know if we ever got do we get did we not get to it i don't think we did ever because it was just it was you're always looking at it we're like do we talk about the hot dog the glizzy glizzicle today yeah oh but the one i was talking about it was oscar meyer and it was called a cool dog and it was like a hot they said it had sorry alice a new slang term glizzy uh is what a hot dog is yeah oh yeah god i feel so lame i'm not faced right now this is what we're here for you know yeah so oscar Mayer hot dog with notes of umami

and smoke, smokiness, and it had like a drizzle of mustard. Yeah. Mustard on it. So disgusting. Mustard ice cream.

Yeah. The reason I think we never quite got to it was because I felt like a coward talking about it without having tried it. Oh, yeah.

Because, yeah, you feel like, you're like, you know what? This Glitzicle is really something else. I've liked worse ideas before in execution. I think Waterworld, pretty good.

Anyways, Allison, as always, such a pleasure having you. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff? Oh, please follow me on social media at Allison Rosen, A-L-I, so just one L and an I, A-L-I-S-O-N, Rosen, R-O-S-E-N,

on Twitter and Instagram. And I am on TikTok, but I don't TikTok very often, but it's just the Alison Rosen there. And please listen to my podcast, Alison Rosen is Your New Best Friend, Childish and Upworthy Weekly. Upworthy Weekly is a lighthearted news podcast that comes out on Saturdays.

You might be familiar with Upworthy. It is their podcast. It's fairly newish. Yeah, that is me. Amazing. And is there a tweet or some other work of social media you've been enjoying? Yes. My friend, Andrew Hunt, who comes on my third.

So Alison Rosen's new best Friend comes out on Mondays and Thursdays. And Monday is a one-on-one interview and Thursday is a roundtable group show. And Andrew Hunt is a friend of mine who used to come on my show. My show started as a streaming internet show that I would do for three hours from my apartment in Brooklyn like 10 years ago. And then we sort of lost touch. And then recently we reconnected and he's been coming on my show periodically. And he is just I think he's so funny. And he had this tweet that just made me laugh so much. And let me see if I can find it. Let's see. It says, so glad I put this reminder in my phone last night

when I was too tired to go looking for a grape that rolled under my couch. Completely forgot about it until now. And then it's a screen grab, and it says, time-sensitive. Reminders, find the grape. Just toy cracking, yeah. Miles, where can people find you?

What's the tweet you've been enjoying? Find me on twitter and instagram at milesagrey and listen to me on milesandjackgotmadboosties if you like basketball and 420dayfiancé if you like 90dayfiancé just trashy reality shows in general

some tweets that I like there's a couple first one is from at PJ Evans tweeted. Hey, man, I noticed you scheduled a meeting with me, but I was hoping you can maybe cancel it because I don't want to be here. It's very honest and real. And then another one I like is where it say, oh, at Yo Soy Kanji tweeted. The white people on my team use quote out of pocket to

mean unavailable. Once someone said I will be out of pocket and I was ready for the pre-planned drama, but she was just going to the dentist. And finally, this one is bring on the dancing horses at in the fade in referencing all of the people that were like

lined up in like a miles long queue to look at Queen Elizabeth's coffin, tweeted, I can't imagine waiting five hours in a line to look at a coffin unless there was a Dracula in it. Yeah. You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien. Let's see.

A couple tweets I've been enjoying. Going to be the coolest house on the block this Halloween. And it is a bowl and it says, please take only one crab rangoon per kid. It has a bunch of crab rangoon in the bowl. And then

a photo series where it says, this guy faked drowning to see his cat's reaction and it went exactly as expected. And it's a picture of a guy faked drowning to see his cat's reaction and it went exactly as expected and it's a picture of a guy like faking drowning and the cat just kind of laying down and ignoring the shit out of him which I think is pretty funny

also what did you expect was going to happen um anyway you can find us on twitter at daily zeitgeist we're at the daily zeitgeist on instagram we have a facebook fan page and a website dailyzeitgeist.com, where we post our episodes and our footnotes. We'll link off to the information that we talked about in today's episode,

as well as a song that we think you might enjoy. Miles, what song do we think people might enjoy? Oh, you know what? This is an obscure, deep house track I saw on TikTok, but it took me away because there's this video of this guy at a house show, and he's just getting melted by this track. He's just feeling it. And it's not

the most energetic track, but it just develops really dope. So just look, some Deep House for you on this Friday. Let's just take it back to the old warehouse parties. It's called Truth, the Nostalgic Mix, and it's from the godfathers of Deep House.

And I think you can only get this shit on SoundCloud. But look, if you want to vibe out to that like an old millennial would, put this one on. All right. Well, go check that out.
