Starting point is 00:08:56 Like, the really good ones, obviously, a whole different level. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, even the mediocre ones are pretty good. It's like the cheese pizza of sandwiches in that it's kind of hard to fuck up. I guess, yeah, if people have anecdotes. I mean, I'm sure if it's just ham, but then once you have like Lechon or something, like a little bit fancier version of pork on it, now we're tired. You know what I'm saying?

Starting point is 00:12:19 idea that it was a day. And I love that we have days for food because, you know, I just don't think we celebrate these things enough. Like exquisite little um corners of our existence you know i feel like i i love it in theory but i've never i haven't had the perfect sponge cake experience i probably haven't experimented enough to like see all the different directions it can go yeah i always wanted to like sop up more i don't know chocolate or something you know what i mean i kind of feel like sponge cake is sort of just like a light simple delicate surprise but because of the severity of flavor that we're used to in this
Starting point is 00:12:59 country it's sort of like pornography where we need much insanity you know it just goes deeper and deeper and deeper around a rabbit hole and that's why i feel maybe sponge cake has kind of devolved from the appreciation that it might to porn ruin sponge cake exactly what it is yep yeah because now we're it's the equivalent of like stepmom stuck in the washing machine cake. Yeah, exactly. Spongecake is, yeah. What happened to us? What did happen to us? Country's chicken shit, man, I tell you.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Wait, what? Amazing. Blair, how have you been? I've been pretty well. Thank you for asking.

Starting point is 00:14:32 Sometimes you need something to believe in again. Thank you for reminding me. Thank you for reminding me. No problem. No, just been traveling. I took a week off last week. That was nice. Where'd you go?
Starting point is 00:14:41 If you don't mind my asking. I went to Costa Rica. Oh, you did? What part? This place called Jaco. It's a beach i know hako yeah yeah yeah yeah i got married over there so we went oh you did baby yeah yeah so we kind of just had like a little bit of like a nostalgia moment and it's like low season so like the flight was cheap and it was it's nice to have like a baby on an empty beach yeah yeah yeah i went there in like 2009 um 2010 i think that was the last good wave i surfed yeah yeah yeah the waves that are
Starting point is 00:15:12 incredible down to hermosa even better hermosa yeah and but i was very fearful the whole time i got one good wave and i retired after that wave got out of the water like yeah build a statue it's done yeah yep, I saw people down there, like, ramping off of waves like skateboarders. I'd never seen that before. And then I saw it again in the Olympics this year. But, like, just, like, jumping, you know, using waves as jumps. Catching air, dude. And then doing, yeah,
Starting point is 00:15:36 catching air and, like, doing tricks off the waves. Yeah, it's a different level of surfing. A lot of monkeys and parrots and iguanas. Yeah, they, like, fall out of trees and shit. That was fun for the baby to see because he's not fearless. So he was really like just into looking at these big ass iguanas. I'm not a reptile guy myself. Nah, me either.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Me either. Me either. I like an amphibian. Love it. Love an amphibian. Yeah. Not a reptile guy though. No.
Starting point is 00:16:01 I just want to say I'm very glad that Zygang showed out but it does not surprise me you're always so funny on the show I actually had my brother in law reach out to me and be like Blair Saki joke of the year and I had totally forgotten
Starting point is 00:16:20 this joke but the last time you were on you were talking about Kyrie Irving like having a bad game in the playoffs and you said that you thought it was because he thought the ball was a frisbee and i think i like didn't even catch it when you made it so also apologies oh thanks yes i didn't think when kairi irving at a basketball, he sees the Frisbee. But yeah, it's a peculiar man. I find him very interesting, though. I'm captivated.
Starting point is 00:16:52 Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, Blair, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We've been covering the DNC more on our trending episodes. If you want to hear more coverage of what happened to the DNC, you can go to our trending episodes. But we like to check in the day after with how Trump is responding, how the right is doing with the DNC. Because just across the board, the mainstream media response to the DNC seems to be raves. Right? It's just like
Starting point is 00:17:26 it's a hit, folks. And we're just going to look at how Trump and Fox News are dealing with that. He had one of, like, he must be practicing Kenny G circular breathing the way this motherfucker just ranted. Narcissism, baby.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Yeah, he's just fueled by pure narcissism. I don't need a hair. I just need attention. Tim Walz did get to end his speech with a Neil Young song that Trump is not allowed to play at his rally. So it was a nice little fuck you. And then we need to check in with an exciting piece of news for all of us content creators out here. Yeah. Chick-fil-A, a new player has entered the game and it is Chick-fil-A. Uh, they're launching a streaming service. Uh,
Starting point is 00:18:11 we're going to look into why that could be. Yeah. Maybe we get a free show on there to be show. I mean, please. We're, we're all just, you know,
Starting point is 00:18:22 I'm, I'm more than willing to actually probably not the way this country is trying to go back on to separation of church and stay is just yeah get out of here Chick-fil-a but these new shows they're gonna have there I think they're gonna open your hearts or rather
Starting point is 00:18:38 I think they're gonna close minds yeah opening hearts and closing minds all of that plenty more but first blair we do like to ask our guest what is something from your search history oh what is something from my search history well actually i probably google this once a week but it's usually just walton goggins i'm trying to see what he's up to. Like, in case there's anything I missed, I really need to stay abreast of everything he's doing.
Starting point is 00:19:10 What's he up to now? I feel like there was something interesting that he's coming out in. He's coming out in White Lotus. I'm going to lose my mind. I'm going to lose my mind. That combo is, oh, chef's kiss yeah who knows what yeah i forget that uh many many people listen to this because it just feels like i'm speaking with my dear dear friends of many years but um johnny pemerton you know from he was uh in fallout so now he's good friends with walton

Starting point is 00:20:30 family and like a dog and like taking pictures at the river and stuff yeah amazing I mean I just like he also he had a hairline revival I remember when he was on the shield and I was like okay bro we'll see where this goes he did the hairline came back.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Yes. It did? Sometimes. Yes. And sometimes that happens and we don't need to ask questions about it. We don't need to ask questions. Oh, right. Because I admire you.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Sometimes it moves forward. All I say, I see you and I admire you. FYI, my hairline goes anywhere. I'm getting that shit fixed faster than you can blink.

Starting point is 00:21:23 walton goggins i remember like damn i wonder what his career is going to be like and to see where it is now i'm like oh shit dude this is fucking right yeah he's so multifaceted he's in like every single show i saw him first i think on justified but i would never have watched fallout i don't think i didn't even know he was in fallout until johnny i watched it because johnny was in it and then i when i learned that he was the star and then johnny's part was so good and was in it and then i when i learned that he was the star and then johnny's part was so good and i don't you know i i'm a jock i don't know anything about nerdy shit and so i would have never happened to upon fallout and then i enjoyed it immensely yeah yeah i hear i hear great things righteous gemstones again obviously another great
Starting point is 00:22:01 vice prince of ormond's's my favorite goggins i think just an incredible character the range the range but that's what's great about a goggins is that like it's not front page news when it's like and walton goggins will be in white lotus and so i can just be pleasantly surprised when my friend tells me six months after like they started shooting it you know right yeah that will be so obsessed oh yeah yeah i think that's actually should be like someone's underrated for like actor i for how like how much i'm interested in something because walton goggins is in it is i think pretty underrated yeah oh 100 and he's so consistent too and he can just do anything the range is insane yeah a long time ago somebody told me they were like god you look like someone i can't remember who it is i can't remember who it
Starting point is 00:22:49 is oh that's right it's walton goggins and it was like before i knew who walton goggins was and so i looked up a picture and i was insulted and now i am so flattered yeah so flattered yeah they're way smaller compared to yours yeah come on man i got bigger teeth than that all his teeth got knocked out sorry i know you're not criticizing but you have to add that fact wait okay go on go on fact all his teeth were knocked out in an accident like all of them so then he had to get that what happened i forget honestly don't. I could try to remember, spout something off, but I don't want to say anything inaccurate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Damn, Blair.
Starting point is 00:23:30 Blair's like Goggins-brained. She's like, you know, actually, all his hair fell out in an accident, and that's why he needed to get his hairline strengthened. He was actually trying to do some conservation work. I didn't even know about his hairline because I see him so completely for his soul. I don't even see his goddamn hairline. You didn't even know that he had hair. No, I swear to God. I see him so far
Starting point is 00:23:52 past that. He lost all his front teeth in a childhood baseball action. Yes, yeah, yeah. I knew it was something like in his childhood because people give him shit about his teeth and I'm like, don't give him shit, motherfuckers. You don't even know. I think his teeth are you know, like once once you see him use them his teeth are great oh man the tooth actin yeah the tooth actin on this guy ten acting the gompers yeah we love we salute we
Starting point is 00:24:15 salute walton gompers ten acting by the way get at me if you want to sponsor my tooth actin oscars where i just give out awards for the best for facts right uh yeah it's a bigger part of acting than people give credit for well i'll make that my underrated and we'll just talk about that for an hour on monday blair what's something you think is underrated okay so i don't know if you guys are involved in this or not and maybe the rest of the country right now probably wouldn't agree that this is something that's underrated but for me the amount of joy it has brought me this summer love island usa i'm sure it's been brought up but i don't think so i had never seen love island before this season obviously i got involved due to one ariana maddox i had never seen any of the uk seasons and i became so immersed because it's on
Starting point is 00:25:07 every night yeah so like i started to become very irritable should something interfere with my six to seven p.m program and i had to be home every night from six to seven it was just incredible it's over now and who knows if i'll continue watching past this but it was an incredible moment in time and i encourage everyone to watch it i've seen the uh uk version and i remember during the summer like one summer when i was there like the people we were staying with it was they're like yeah we'd love to go out but um love island is about to come on so no and i was like but yeah i get it i i like a show that's on that consistently that has this kind of drama that's easy to follow and intrigue
Starting point is 00:25:52 but yeah i haven't watched this latest season in the of the u.s version i've never heard it like i didn't realize it was something nightly like there's something dystopian futuristic about it but also really nostalgic like the radio nightly after dinner in like 1936 or something right right yeah gather around the victorola as we listen to love island yeah i really enjoyed it though also sounds like what like a beach boy song from that era would call having sex with someone is like taking them to love island usa absolutely took her on down to love that's definitely like a boardwalk t-shirt it's like ask me how to get to love island usa it's like a crude drawing of like finger hand circle gesture and it's like uh the boardwalk shirts man i'm the captain god boardwalk shirts incredible
Starting point is 00:26:45 and it they're putting a new show out every day yeah i mean it's over now like i don't know when the next season will come out if it's not till next summer or something like that um but while it was on it was every day yeah that's wild that's i mean i'm not just saying that because we have one but like the the amount of editing and all the work that has to go into a reality show yeah and it's like so it's it is odd that you're watching it like i think they edit it it's like from the day before so you're really watching it in current time it's pretty wild yeah it's crazy i think it was only like six weeks long but it was like hours and hours of tv and then really fast i, I'm not going to even elaborate on it, but Ladies in Blue on Apple TV,
Starting point is 00:27:27 it's in full Spanish, and it's a really good show. Oh, is that the one about the cops? Yes! Yeah, yeah. I love it! I just got Apple Plus TV or TV, whatever it's called,
Starting point is 00:27:38 because I got an iPad, so it came with three months of that. But that's a good one. I'm seeing that ad a lot. Oh, really? I hadn't seen an ad like because apple tv does not advertise at all and it has the best shows far and far and wide above any streamer it's like there's so many good shows on there obviously i'm a tv freak but
Starting point is 00:27:58 amazing what is uh what's something you think is overrated? Okay. I'm sure someone has already said this, but it is really, um, chapping my ass. And that is this demure bullshit. Stop saying demure. The word is ruined forever. And if I see or hear that, I'm going to block you. Yeah. It's,
Starting point is 00:28:18 I mean that Tik TOK trend, it's ruined my life. Yeah. I heard that that Tik TOK person like got invited to the dnc yeah and like that feels right for her that like i think i think she's transitioning like i think i read that like it paid for her transition and i was like okay i'm glad like this all these wonderful things came out of that but i just hate like when something becomes so ubiquitous like that like where i feel like they can't breathe their escape right right and it's also not like when people say it it's just like a reference i've not seen
Starting point is 00:28:51 it used in a way that's like funny or interesting yeah it's just a hey this is a word right yeah we're just saying demure right okay right okay and i liked the word demure before this like that was in my rotation and now i can never say it again until my last time wow yeah so you're like i knew that band before they were big no no it's not even like that it's not even like that i was using demure in 98 okay damn all right no it's, I find it annoying as well. And I'm, if I sound distracted, it's not because I'm editing demure out of the outline for the rest of the show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:33 All my demure references. One more point to that. Like, I am not one of those people that is like, I have to claim my obscure knowledge and interest in something before it got popular because I like a lot of really popular things. Totally. Specifically, you know, like huge fantasy franchises and certain

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other,

I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare.

Starting point is 00:34:18 Hi, I'm Eva Longoria. Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon. Our podcast, Hungry for History, is back. Season two. Season two. Season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right?
Starting point is 00:34:30 Okay. And this season, we're taking an even bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these... We have, we think, Latin culture.
Starting point is 00:34:48 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. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
Starting point is 00:35:04 or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. So the DNC is happening. It seems to be a rave across the board up to this point trump not dealing super well with that fact he is responding with a rant on fox and friends that seemed like miles you were saying it like when you watch it in its entirety and i don't know if we have time to do that but it really seems like five minutes long it's five minutes long and it just does not stop. I mean, I think it's important to know that the whole reaction came because Tim Walz, as he accepted the nomination, he was talking about Project 25. I'll give you a little snippet of what Walz said, and then they're like, okay, do you care to comment? And then you get verbal boo-boo.
Starting point is 00:36:08 verbal boo-boo. And we know if these guys get back in the White House, they'll start jacking up the costs on the middle class. They'll repeal the Affordable Care Act. They'll gut Social Security and Medicare. Anyway, so he's going on to explain some of the points within Project 2025. Just saying the things that they proudly say they're going to do. Exactly. This is Donald Trump's blueprint for a second administration. This talking point has been said over and over again. And then this is his response. So what do you think? OK, here's Donald Trump. First of all, he's a total lightweight and he shouldn't be even having any access to possibly being president. The guy, he's been a terrible governor. They've had nothing but problems in their state. I'll skip ahead 30 seconds.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Very conservative values. And in some case, perhaps they went over the line. Perhaps they didn't. I have no idea what Project 25 is, but they use it and they know it. Just like Charlottesville, totally discredited. They use Charlottesville. Hold on, I'll just skip another 20 seconds. San Francisco, you can't walk
Starting point is 00:37:05 into san francisco you barely can go another 20 seconds district attorney in san francisco san francisco another 10 seconds kamala they're just sitting there stone-faced frankly he's a radical little more you know over the graves of soldiers and saying a little bit more lunatic uh talking about it and they use it all the time there's no more in the dumbest and and one of the most horrible things that's ever happened probably the most so this goes on for fucking five minutes yeah basically non-stop like pinging from one thing like the first two sentences of a 40 sentence tirade like i you can't really call them sentences because it's just like one long run-on idea
Starting point is 00:37:53 fucking cavalcade yeah but he's he's off of walls so quickly and on to charlottesville and then but and like nothing he's saying in the middle really makes sense he's i he says i have no idea what project 25 is but they use it and they know it what the fuck does that mean i don't it's like it's weird because like i really enjoy the floundering and like drowning media drowning that trump is experiencing right now but part of me is like i don't know like another shuk will eventually drop and they're like tim walls actually is a sentient ai made by china that pretended to be a football coach or whatever weird thing could happen but yeah i mean it's it's really
Starting point is 00:38:36 clear like he's still on like this joe biden attack mentality because then he still brings up things that are related like directly with joe biden or just keeps talking about what joe biden has done obviously yeah you can kind of say that's related to the vice president or whatever but he's just like at one point he says at one point he like gets so he's talking about walls then he like moves to harris then he moves to the and they took it over in a coup against biden uh biden's probably sitting on a beach in crime-ridden california where everything kamala harris touched turned bad with its terrible terrible crime trouble and even other forms of trouble it's like what are you fucking talking
Starting point is 00:39:17 about you're reading from a spell book wait i i don't have the I won't claim to have even close to the political knowledge that you two have. We have none. I thought they were like going out hard with this Project 2025 shit. Or is he just saying like he doesn't, he's just, he basically purports all those values, but won't call it Project 2025. Well that, and he does, he's doing the, oh, I don't know her whole whole thing to distance himself because once everyone's like, what the fuck is in here? Like no porn. Like, what are they even talking about? And he's doing the thing where he's distancing himself as much as possible because it on its face is so fucking terrible.
Starting point is 00:39:57 But yeah, you're right. The Heritage Foundation that's behind it is 100 percent like behind closed doors. Like, don't worry if he's distancing us in public. Like we, we can, we, we have a way to get all of this stuff to them because they did that in his first administration. And didn't know what JD Vance, he's such a loser, right? The foreword of the book or something.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He wrote the foreword for the bio, like the book about the head, the guy who's like sort of heading up project 2025. Yeah. This man doesn't think I should vote because I don't have a child. Yeah, yeah. But well, do you have a cat? No, I don't have a cat either.
Starting point is 00:40:32 Oh God. Am I allowed to curse on this podcast? You are, yeah. Yeah. They haven't passed Project 2025 yet. So you are. Yeah, yeah. We'll still be allowed to curse on it
Starting point is 00:40:43 after Project 2025, but you won't and i would have a cat if i wasn't allergic okay i'd have five cats he's doing fine you guys he's he's great the audio is it's just like you kind of have to hear the whole thing to just hear how he's like pinging back and forth but from one idea to the other and the you know they have his face in a little box and then just the hosts like sitting there just like looking just stone-faced forward like it's truly death and like they just can't get a word in and he just can't stop himself there's a whole other part of their term. Like, can we? Oh, I think it's at the top here.
Starting point is 00:41:30 And she was the last one in the room. And she was the last one in the room when that decision was made. She was the last one. No, she made the decision. She made the decision. And it was one of the most embarrassing. And then it just goes on. Yeah, yeah. It just goes on.
Starting point is 00:41:41 There it goes. It went. That was my spot. That was my spot. And it went. But it's yeah and then the other thing that was notable is he recently announced that he's going to be launching a new cryptocurrency called defy which i think is like based on his brand of like being defiant like yes yes he literally went from you know this guy's unbeatable after that like assassination attempt fight fight fight photo op to using that
Starting point is 00:42:15 for branding to launch a cryptocurrency in less than a month and a half yeah he's everything's like look money troubles there there's nothing i mean at least he's still up to his same things i was worried that he was just so traumatized by the attempt that he wasn't even doing the normal things he likes but no the cryptocurrency scam uh is is operational and like his sons have been teasing it for a minute so look people are just gonna give him their money it is so wild though like fuck off with it the fact that like to blair's point the fact that he says in that rant i have no idea what project 20 project 25 is and like is just so scared of being associated with it like really yeah this is somebody who was not scared of being
Starting point is 00:43:00 associated with the white supremacists at charlottesville like and he is trying to distance himself from this piece of legislation like that yeah this playbook i guess like that well and he also previously said he knew you know what's weird though like i know a lot of uh republicans from orange county yeah and i've asked them about this and they say the same thing they're like oh that's not real that's something the libs made up and then i was like well why are they the policies like actually absolutely going that way it's like it's like so gaslighting it's like they're absolutely like trying to have those laws but they don't want a name on it or something yeah yeah well i mean i also like to be like oh it's like made up it's like then why is it written entirely by
Starting point is 00:43:51 like these neoconservatives that have been like shaping the movement for like forever now like it's not you know it's not something that some like roy wood jr came up with as a bit and then tweeted it out it's like this is real this is real shit this is part of what comes from a think tank i just think it's so freaky how religious oriented this all seems to me and i'm just like how are we suddenly having religion be the driver of everything yeah yeah i mean well like because a lot of you know the religious right has ascended like into these like leadership roles. And it's not necessarily just about like fiscally conservative stuff.
Starting point is 00:44:30 It's now just about like turning back the clock, like societally. Yeah. We should just join back with Britain. That'd be great. Take it all the way. Yeah. Why not?
Starting point is 00:44:39 Yeah. Give it back to the, give the land back to the native Americans. What about that? Let's just go all the, why don't you give the land back? Yeah. They would love about that? Yeah, let's just go all the way. Why don't you just give the land back? Yeah. They would love that.

We're back we're back we're back remember that poltergeist 2 an ad from 1984 remember that guys yeah man all right so let's go big news i don't watch scary movies you know i'm too weak for that yeah that one's scary that was poltergeist 2 scary
Starting point is 00:50:25 i think poltergeist fucked me yeah poltergeist fucked me all the way up i don't even remember i don't know if i ever saw poltergeist 2 but i saw the trailer at the first movie i ever watched in a theater which was rocky 4 the trailer for poltergeist 2 played and i was very frightened it looks like the still image from the trailer looks like a character that Walton Goggins could play. Of course, well, he could play anything. Oh, yeah, of course. Uncle Baby Billy, like, ten years in the future. Oh, that's Uncle Baby Billy.
Starting point is 00:50:53 That's Uncle Baby Billy. He's got damn good teeth in his mouth. Yeah, that guy freaked me the fuck out. He's terrified. And he's just an old man in a hat but his nothing creepier his general vibe is very frightening caroline that's what that guy's saying oh hell no no no no no i'm with blair i don't i don't need that shit. I'm already like, I have enough nervousness in my life.
Starting point is 00:51:27 I don't need fucking content to amplify that. Carol Ann. Come toward the light. And the light is a TV. I have one of those in my home. That's scary as fuck. I could be Carol Ann. All right. And that's just a preview of the type of content you won't be getting on chick-fil-a's streaming service wait
Starting point is 00:51:46 i feel like we might have mentioned this earlier maybe not but it seems like a joke as a headline but just when you thought streaming entertainment couldn't be any more dire news just broke that chick-fil-a is quote moving aggressively into the entertainment space with their very own streaming platform they will license and create original family-friendly shows most of which will be unscripted so you know wow fun incredible chick-fil-a reality shows or documentaries yeah i'm sure it's really in-depth documentary is about you know yeah why chick-fil-a is a good place for a 12 year old to work or something just kidding chick-fil-a if you're listening to this i'm available to be paid 100 million dollars to
Starting point is 00:52:35 be filmed doing mukbangs of eating chicken thank you thank you you do mukbang content um i have incredible plans to do to become to transition fully into being a tiktok mukbanger wow yeah i love wake okay well i would love to know more about but like a chase version don't get any freaky ideas you sickos out there okay i'll be fully clothed up to my chin just absolutely plowing actually this might be a fit blair yeah the chick-fil-a like just you're wearing like sister wives like wear like just a turtleneck a turtleneck long sleeve everything and then just gorging on chick-fil-a but you have to do your hair like super southern conservative style like big big and high that's right someone has a shotgun to the back of my head off screen
Starting point is 00:53:32 that's actually part of why i love this show eric put put my favorite show on the mukbang girl i actually love that we're not able to stream on Sundays. I think that's very good. Yeah, it just goes, catch me eating chicken on Saturday. Yeah. So this isn't a total shock for those of us who monitor Chick-fil-A closely. Last year, the company released a job posting looking for a, quote, entertainment producer for a new app. That doesn't even sound like a real job.
Starting point is 00:54:03 We knew it was. Yeah, I know, right uh can i get an entertainment producer any one entertainment hey they're new to the space miles oh my god that's like when i see producer on hinge i was like what does that mean yeah like are you sound cloud are you like uh no i i actually once i've moved about four flats of uh crystal geyser water from a sound stage to a transpo van but you know i mean i see i used to when i was like a pa i would be like yeah i'm gonna produce i'm a production assistant yeah yeah i'm facilitating the production anything so this is where it gets weird though so chick-fil-a and none of the uh previous part
Starting point is 00:54:48 was weird is what i'm saying uh so chick-fil-a has already been producing entertainment and we just like didn't notice because we have better things to do with our lives but their youtube page has an original animated series about like my friend and i were talking about this my friend is a writer who's you know struggling like many writers and i were talking about this my friend is a writer who's you know struggling like many writers are we're talking about this streaming service and we're like what is it going to be like those cows from the ads like just like an expanded universe of like the cows who can't spell that much but like can still write uh telling us to eat chicken and i was like joking when i said that they already have like an animated series where those cows are basically domestic terrorists
Starting point is 00:55:33 that routinely target a burger chain that murders and sells their friends and family and it's yeah it's aimed at kids and it's about domestic terrorism and like these people, these, these cows being mad that they're being murdered. There's also like Coca-Cola product placement all over the place, but it has 5 million views on the most recent one that like went up a week ago. Uh, there's an earlier one from last year that has 32 million views. Oh, so I'm like very confused and slightly suspicious over those numbers like i don't want to say because i'm sure they're like more sophisticated
Starting point is 00:56:13 than that despite the fact that they they're posting said entertainment producer right i'm assuming they have like people who are telling them more detail about the metrics and like where those viewers are coming from because it would be very funny if they like just got fooled by like a social media firm that's like buying clicks and views to their video look how successful it is look at this we're gonna double down and launch an entire streaming platform because of these are they gonna charge people for this that's a great question or is it just like that because that's the difference i'm like nobody is i don't give a fuck what's on there nobody's fucking buying chick-fil-a streaming service but unless it's like you know they try and get people in like buy a fucking kids meal or some shit maybe but even
Starting point is 00:56:59 then the content doesn't make sense like brands that make like content like this it always fucking stinks so maybe it is just a way for them to like create more i mean because obviously the family that owns chick-fil-a is super conservative and freaking out there with it so yeah maybe this is just their way to be like yeah man we got people to sit through some weird white supremacist ethno-national cartoons right uh or or talk shows you know for kids is there get the message out like a conceivable you know because i like all bets are off after like skibbity toilet seeing the view counts on skibbity toilet realizing i don't know anything about youtube is there a world where people are that into chick-fil-a and that they want to see like an expanded universe of those cows no okay everyone thinks because one movie barbie that
Starting point is 00:57:56 everything is like an ip now exactly and now we are barbie fucked it fucked us so hard in a way i hadn't realized one well done just one in a million yeah uh execution and now we're all ruined forever right now it's like what about our cow billboards can that be a show um no the ones that misspell more when they're like eat more chicken no no i can't i just know dj tanner is going to be at the top of their list she's going to be a huge get for them oh yeah absolutely absolutely like showing you how to make other meals out of like chick-fil-a meals or something no no and her video being like i watched the opening ceremonies of the olympics and i was just sad to be honest i was just so sad to have christ be demigrated i'm like wasn't christ it wasn't christ but jesus christ but yeah i mean like i guess the one thing that they do have is the fact that the like the kathy
Starting point is 00:59:01 family or the guy the owner is like behind one of the biggest, biggest, like physical production spaces outside of Hollywood. He, he owns, so he's, he's spent millions and millions of dollars turning a bunch of farmland in Atlanta into like a massive,
Starting point is 00:59:17 the biggest movie studio or production studio outside of Burbank in the United States. So they shoot all the marvel movies there man so right maybe we'll get a christ level marvel level christ superhero they've uh just just around your question of like are they planning to charge for this they might have ulterior motives they've also been releasing, in addition to their wildly popular cows fighting against the slaughter of their brethren for kids, they've also been releasing an animated Christmas series called The Stories of Evergreen Hills for years. And that series has been violating privacy laws by harvesting personally identifiable information about the people who view it on their website. So they might be just like trying to build out immense
Starting point is 01:00:13 data profiles of people who are interested in Chick-fil-A and question mark, question mark, control the world, 5,000 cash signs. God. zeitgang let us our am i look chick-fil-a came late out to the west coast so i don't know if maybe these are time are honored cartoons everyone is waiting for but part of me is a bit dubious yeah what is our success for our viewers or what if our listeners are like yeah man like i love those cartoons dude i found out about the daily zeitgeist through the evergreen hills series got a small got a small contingent of zeitgang in the evergreen hills community it seems like this is basically like we get these bad ideas because we live in a world where one person wields the power that like 100 people should have through just like massive
Starting point is 01:01:07 wealth consolidation and accumulation and so like this person who should have you know 100 more you know he should be rich but instead he is like this industry spanning mogul because of how our system set up and so oh right rather than like i have a successful franchises of a chicken sandwich store i'm a chicken well magnate and that's where it ends right but because we have a thing where it's like you can just keep getting richer and richer and richer and richer and because like that one brain of the person who has all that money is only so big they're going to try and do everything because they have the power to do everything and so instead of what what should be happening is like a new streaming service gets launched by somebody who has a good idea for one right you know yeah yeah but instead of that it's the guy who
Starting point is 01:02:07 has all the money at chick-fil-a because he has the power to just like make it happen i don't know man that's the america i want to live in yeah you know just want to brute force my own streaming platform and have people just be like yeah yeah yeah because i he like underwrote a huge segment of the atlanta film industry yeah wow wow wow wow wow also just seems weird like for a brand that has only ever gotten themselves in trouble when it comes to like cultural output you know it's like that that is not your strong suit that's where you get boycottsts and people thinking you're the fucking worst. But that's what they think otherwise, clearly. Right.
Starting point is 01:02:50 They're trying to put a stake in the sand. And we're not afraid to ruffle feathers. We're the chicken guys. Yeah, exactly. If anything, we like to fucking ruffle feathers. We shape the culture through our chicken sandwiches. Right. And again, just like Blair said, Chick-fil-A,
