and one of our favorite guests, one of the Zeitgang's favorite guests, the brilliant and talented Eber Maynard! Eber! Thank you so much for having me. I wish I had a cover song. Oh, no. If anything, tell us how... The thing I'll always remember is one of the

first times you were on when we used to do the Myth section was talking about the goat person who lived behind your elementary school. Yes, the playground goat. I always think about the lore of the goat monster, whatever it was. The place has one. I was known as the playground goat for my four square skills. Oh, wow. Yeah, that's different.

He's doing a handball. We'd play handball, and he's like, you're the rainbow. And I'm like, oh, he does it at the last minute. Popcorn? I don't know how he does it. Oh, my God. Popcorn. You remember Bus Stop?

Oh, yeah. Okay. The listeners cannot see that, but I did the two hands up, ball down, and then a tap on. No spikes. Yeah, you have to call them. Somebody always did it. And then if you complained, you're like, you have to call them. Somebody always didn't. And then if you complained, you're like, you know what I mean?

You're a little bitch. Do the kids know about that anymore? I don't know. That's a good question. 12-year-old listeners, let us know. Y'all still fuck with Foursquare? And what are the most popular rules now? Like, is popcorn still around?

Do you guys even know what popcorn is these days? Y'all do butts up? Or was that fame? Wait, what's butts up? Butts up was just, it was assault with balls, basically. Where, like, you would throw, I just remember at a certain point, if you fucked up, you had to line up against the wall. And then people would just pelt you with balls. What?

And then they made us stop playing it at our school because like there are like kids who played baseball really good and they were just like rocking and tennis balls of kids and like that wasn't for that wasn't from four square right that was no no no no but it was another thing like you would play it against like your handball court wall yeah against the wall yeah we had that in oh that's funny that you guys said handball it took me a minute it was all realized that in... Oh, that's funny that you guys said handball. It took me a minute to realize. It was just a wall that was like, that people were like,

yeah, hit the ball against this concrete slab. It wasn't like, go to the handball court. No, it was like, it was like a wooden wall in my elementary school. We had stingball.

Yeah, and it was just a big wall again that you threw a ball against and then someone had to catch it. And if you bobbled it, you had to run to the, that you threw a ball against and then someone had to catch it. And if you bobbled it, you had to run to the wall before someone threw the ball and hit the wall. And then if they beat you, yeah, you would just get absolutely destroyed. How do we all have these same games?

It's wild because here, maybe you'll know it from the different colloquial names that it has because I was like, I'll call it butts up. Then the Wikipedia article says it's called wall ball and it came from the 50s and again what you're saying is paved service against a wall variable number of opponents but here's the thing the names were this is why i'm sure it was banned because just listen to the other names around the country spread eagle a ball a hole asses asses rehab and t ass reckoner blue gooch booties up buns up burn ball butt ball kirby i don't know why this is called kirby off the wall pp'd red ace peg red bum i mean like this was all yeah so rump rounders just sting ball did sting was were we just weird or sting ball up there sting is on here sting okay yeah spread sting stitch kill i wonder if pp is different if like that that was instead of being facing the wall you were facing out and

they were oh god yeah that's see i guess that that all depends on how sadistic the kids were that you were playing with. Anyways, you guys cut me off before I did my good joke. Instead of popcorn these days, you guys probably have rules like electric vehicle. Oh, boy. Right? Am I right? I don't know if here he is, folks. Or canceled.

Let's cancel cancel culture, please. Thank you. All right, all right ever we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about uh we're gonna talk about more cops continuing to be petty we're gonna talk about charlie kirk being the benjamin button of the right wing he's now he's now advertising like a like joint loosenerer pain relief thing. It's just really funny because he's like 28. We're going to talk about Z-Way really angering some white ladies in New York.

We're going to talk about a drought update. And we'll talk about Marvel's history of screwing up Black Widow. We'll talk about, of course, it is that time, the beginning of the week when we do Anna's Streaming Corner. ASC. Where we talk about the show that she assigned us, which this week was We Are the Champions. I don't know if you've seen it ever.

No. Is it a football show? It's not. It's about competitions in ridiculous things the first episode is about have you ever seen photos or video of people chasing that wheel of cheese down a hill yeah yeah so the first one is that and uh it just gets more bonkers from there so we'll talk about that and we'll figure out what we're going to watch for this week's Anna's Streaming Corner. She told me that she would quit if I didn't say it that way from now on. So all of that, plenty more. But first ever, we like to ask

our guest, what is something from your search history? Well, I think the thing from my most recent search history is I found a free cow on Craigslist and I'm pretty excited about it. A free cow? I'll read you the ad. Yeah. Okay. Do you want a whole backstory? Yeah. Or should I just read the ad?

Okay. Here's the deal. I ordered a new Ford Bronco almost a year ago. Oh, shit. Okay. Yeah. That should look so. So you reserve it and they're like, you'll get it in six to seven months and then there's an email that was like we probably

won't be getting this for a little bit and then it was like maybe january and then now it was like probably may and then i got an email saying oh whoops we don't know how to make the roofs we don't we ford doesn't have like the manufacturing capacity wait this is from ford this isn't from just like a scammer ford sent out an email that was like we know you just want your damn bronco our excuses don't matter but we appreciate i wish i could find the letter I threw I tossed it because I was like fuck you I've been waiting

anyways my friend is getting theirs but they have a soft top and then I saw on Twitter last night CJ told me yeah I was gonna say how did CJ get one

it looked like he just pulled up and got one he went to a Ford dealership to order his and customize it and they had a display model so he bought the display model mother

girl he is that is and Megan said it it's the story of CJ's life and customize it, and they had a display model. So he bought the display model. Mother. Pearl. That is, and Megan said it, it's the story of CJ's life. Right. He is just like the dude, man. Everything's coming up Toledano. I know. The summer of CJ.

Yes, summer of, I knew him back in Chicago. Shit, man. Always been that way with CJ. But I was a little jealous. And I was like, well, I wonder if I could just... Jealous and upset with Ford. So I was like, I'll look for a used Bronco. Or a classic one. Or maybe a Chevy.

So I went to my hometown's Craigslist in Texas. Because it would just be cheaper. And I looked up old truck. and a cow ad came up. I'll read it. So you're looking for a used Bronco and then this is what you... And they're like, how about a used cow? Hi, I have this red Angus cow for about two years. She is super calm, gentle, and great to be around.

Okay. Due to truck problems, I can no longer take care of Darla. She is free, all caps, to a good home. You will be required to prove that she's going to a good home. Call or text me today. My name is Wilby. Thanks. I think this is one of those Craigslist pranks.

I don't know. I mean, did you call? I'lligslist pranks. I don't know. I mean. Did you call? I'll do it right now. Why don't you? Will be. Is that will be?

W-I-L-B-Y. Oh, hell yeah. That's a great name. That wasn't like those Saturday morning cartoons when they'd be like, will be right back. Wow. I mean, the one in a million calm cow. You know, those things are usually just hyper and bouncing off the wall machines yeah well my grandma well okay so when my grandfather was dying one of their cows had a baby cat like a calf and all the grandkids we treated this cow

as if it were a dog or a puppy and we would play with this cow and like roughhouse like it was a dog then it got cow size and still wanted to like play which was dangerous obviously that was amazing ever was doing like paws up yeah i got even like yo it's rearing up yeah exactly talk about. Talk about Angus or whatever, Wal-Bal. Anyways, the cow had never been around other cows. Right. It was sleeping on my grandmother's porch. No joke.

Until it got bigger. So then they moved it to the pond. That's also not where you're supposed to put cows. Yeah. Ponds. I'm sorry. I'm excited about texting. We'll be.

Nice. I'm going to see where this 281 area code is. 281. Okay. So it's Houston. 281-330-8004. Hit Mike Jones up on the low. Cause Mike Jones about to blow.

Yeah. This is annoying. Those are the only ones. A cow, jellyfish, a dog, and the thumbnail is a chihuahua. It's because the one that bit that woman's eyelid off. What? But they didn't die this woman like got lash extensions and then a chihuahua bit it and they i guess they were on so tight it was able to rip

part of her eyelid off and she's like suing the people who put her eyelash extensions on her some i mean those that should be an advertisement for however they put those on because my eyelash extensions are hard to keep on. You can wear these shits in a tornado and you're going to be looking fly. Or Chihuahua will bite your eye. Before you lose these fake lashes. What is something you think is overrated ever?

I'm assuming we'll wait and you'll let us know if we hear back from Will B. It's an iPhone for sure because the messaging is blue okay you went blue on them so it's the i message i know it went through will be i'm waiting to see if darla's still available i think i think weed gummies are overrated this is a new thing i'm not against weed gummies but everyone's like oh i took so many weed gummies. And it's like, no.

I'm not that. No, I'm done with that. Like, oh, man, I ate one too many. It's like, are you really that high? I'm sure some of it, you know, you can't get really stoned. But I'm over that whole like, I can't do it, man. It's too much you know yeah there i see that on tiktok a lot as a meme of like the just ate a you know 200 milligram edible which is like are you dumb but then they act like they

were suddenly having like a transcendental moment in like a target when really if you got hit like if you really were smashed by edibles you would be laying down and just be asleep. Yeah, 100%. And also, if you're that high at a target, you're having a panic attack or an anxiety attack. If you're calm, you're a sociopath. At a target? If you're calm at a target on a 200 milligram edible, that person's not okay.

My natural environment. The new american gladiators is just seeing if people can do that it's like all right you're going into this target on a 200 milligram edible it's like see if you can keep your shit together that would be fun home right little does our contestant know we have we have contacted several of his former high school and junior high school classmates to have random run-ins with him in the random house and see how he navigates those social interactions challenge the challenge is just running into an ex-girlfriend yeah i'm fine, are you feeling awkward? No. You shop here too?

Bananas can't handle it. Johnny Bananas can't handle it. I forgot American Gladiators is coming back. Is it already back? It's been. There was a version that came back, and then I didn't watch it. Because in my mind, I was like, well, unless the original Gladiators are there. I'm like, they can't be alive. those people were abusing steroids in the early 90s

yeah you know for sure they were at Muscle Beach yeah just eating all that protein is there a documentary is there a documentary about how they assembled the gladiators that would know but they were like

what's the backstory of turbo and ice you know what i mean morning casting director he's like you guys really need muscle videos yeah you know be cool this guy he'd be cool for the show what it's a family sitcom all right all right all right yeah cool cool i. I do like that those Gladiator shades are coming back in. The Hulk Hulkins. Yeah. Oh, are they? Like the dad fishing sunglasses.

I've seen them around. You know what? I'll say that's an underrated sunglass. That's an underrated fashion. The Gladiator sunglasses. You know what I mean? They look like- It's kind of like what Randy Savage would wear.

Macho man Randy Savage. Yeah, I'm thinking- That almost look like goggles. Right. And that there's no, like the frames are different. Look up Hard Thunder. Hard Thunder. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

They kind of look like ski goggles a little bit. Yeah, I like that. But maybe that makes me a bad person because I want to look like a DJ. You know, I've been thinking about that lately. Do you just want to look like a DJ. I've been thinking about that lately. Do you just want to look like a DJ? Yeah, it's like that isn't... That's not a good thing

to aspire to. Rocking a party? I'm talking about looking like a DJ. Because DJs can pull it off. But looking like a DJ, you just walk up looking like an asshole. Yeah. Right. Very different. You know what I'm talking. Yeah. You never want to be a DJ.

Right. Very different. You know what I'm talking about. You don't want to be the person to be like, yo, why am I ever looking like a DJ or something? Then it feels like an insult. You're just like a DJ. Yeah. Why are you wearing drop crotch pants?

Right. With a lot of ropes? Okay. Cool. I'm really about this lifestyle now Yeah What accent is that? You got bracelets up to your elbows

Scandinavian Yeah Well, I've been watching a lot of YouTube about DJing Yeah Getting really into the Dutch sound, you know But like Jamaican Dutch, you know Like, everybody in the building, come in, you know, like everybody in the building, come in, you know. DJ Ever is in the building.

Come in. Come in. Like what? Just the most like basic takes on how we all need to get together. Everybody get together, you know, we need to love hey everyone jump to the music and let's be happy together now are you ready for the beat to drop yeah let's count three four okay speaking of dutch djs oh anna wrote to us, it's like when that DJ shouted out George Floyd before dropping. Oh, yeah.

Oh, my God. I didn't see that. Yeah, that's fucked up. It was David Guetta. Oh, my God. Remember, he's like, shout out to George Floyd's family. And underneath it was Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech. It was like, shout out to his family.

And you're like, oh my God. Y'all, this is too close. This is too close to him actually dying for you to just disrespect him like this with your DJ drop. Is that real? Yes. Oh my, here, for people who don't know. And fuck masks.

What do they even do? Obviously, this brought to you by hydroxychloroquine i feel like there's a lot of anti-maskers in that listen to this here we go this is david getta doing whatever the fuck he thought he was doing by honoring george floyd with an edm track the world is going through difficult times, and America too, actually. So, last night, I knew we were gonna do this, and I made a special record. So this record is in honor of George Floyd, and I really hope we can see more unity and more peace when already things are so difficult.

So, shout out to his family. This is your kitchen. So even though we face difficulties. Oh, no. This is straight violence. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream. And he's doing the most obnoxious when the beat drops he just goes like this ah ah ah ah

it just feels like the most disrespect but anyway Jack you look like probably what his entire team was doing when he was like I know we said we were not going to do this no David I tender my resignation sir I know we said we were not going to do this. No, David.

I tender my resignation, sir. It's not going to play out. It just unplugs the fucking text. They're like, I'm sorry, David. This is for all of us. Then it just builds. It just builds to. America 2, actually.

America 2, actually, is the best part. Welcome to America 2, actually. The new America, America 2. He's in New York, though. So it's like, yeah, you're in the place that's having trouble right now. So you don't have, it's a little redundant. Oh my God. And then the fact that it all builds to

dum-dum-dum-dum-dum. Just like the most basic. Well, you want to be respectful when you are like honoring the dead with EDM. I don't know. Yeah. For sure. For sure.

I am not saying this in any kind of capitalist way. Put your drinks in the air. Right. One time, everybody. We know we've had a really difficult year. But, you know, if we can just be come together with Coke Zero, we can find a solution to all of our problems. I have a dream. One giant step for mankind.

And we can get the new Coke energy and energize our people's movements for liberation. Anyway. Oh, so. Oh, my God. And then Sylvia Rivera plays. Do y'all know who she is? Uh-uh. The trans activist that really, like. Oh, Sylvia Rivera.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know if she has any speeches, but that would be funny, too. Right, just to go on top of it. I ruined the joke. The music was playing, and then I said, like, Sylvia Rivera. And everyone was like, erk. Sorry, what? But that's for pride.

Yeah. Like, you know, Target's probably going to start selling shirts with her image. You know, just like, hey, look, we're cool. We're with gays. And it's like, no. Well, they already had. What was that, like, suit that everyone that went viral that was like a like a rainbow like plastic suit. I remember everybody's like, y'all, this isn't Target.

And this is all kinds of fucking nonsense. Oh, yes. Gross. Wow. Anyway, shout out to their family. Shout out. Shout out to her family. They're like, what?

No, it's George Floyd. Oh, shout out to his families. Families? David, Jesus. Anyways, those sunglasses are underrated. For sure. Those are fucking dope.

And in what is becoming a continuing segment we're going to talk about just cops being petty and having their feelings hurt this time in portland uh the portland police bureau's protest response was not great uh not great if you want to listen to Robert Evans' podcast, Uprising, that's worth checking out to get a better understanding of what was happening on the ground there.

Right. Because it wasn't just like, Hello, everybody. This is the Portland Protest Response Bureau. Please disperse peacefully. This has been declared an unlawful assembly Shout out to your families No

They were definitely Bucking people up We saw the kinds of violence that was happening And I think anyone who saw any protests Around the country You wouldn't be surprised to hear that Police officers were physically assaulting protesters Peaceful protesters

That was clear as day And what happened was the city of Portland Did the unthinkable officers were physically assaulting protesters, peaceful protesters. That was clear as day. And what happened was the city of Portland did the unthinkable, which is they indicted an officer for an assault. And what happened was after that, 50 members, the entire protest response unit resigned from their positions. They said, quote, from this article, resignations came after Portland police officer Corey Budworth was indicted in connection with an alleged assault during a confrontation with protesters. Budworth, who was a member of the response team, was charged with fourth degree assault for allegedly striking a woman in the head during a protest in August. So, yeah, those 50 people who resigned, they didn't leave them. They didn't leave the force.

Come on now. Have you seen those pensions they just left this unit and said their their reasoning was they felt that they didn't have the support of the city council cool so they're gonna take their batons and go bash people okay snowflakes right really the biggest fucking snowflakes in the world these cops are Well, I think that's inherently why people abuse power, right? Because they're so insecure in whatever their position or station in life is that they found a way to sort of leverage their position to act out their small-person fantasies by brutalizing people.

And then the second, there's accountability. It's like, what the fuck? Yeah. The woman he attacked with a weapon and beat over the head with with his baton was a photographer so you know she hadn't coming she uh was you know daring to take pictures the press free you know what i mean that's just like some it's interesting because i think people forget that like portland is just a small part of oregon and oregon is scary oh yeah yeah i mean they're like they're trying to make new idaho right

now or greater idaho oh yeah that's right right are they trying to make a movement part of them like we want to be part of idaho like we're leaving oregon you're like. Oh, fuck. I was going to say something about snowflakes. It'll come back in the middle of the podcast. That's fine. And I'll stop. That's how it works. And I'll stop. Yep.

Shout out to your memories. Yeah. Shout out. Oh, I was. Okay. I was diagnosed with frontal lobe seizures over the pandemic. Oh, wow. What does that mean?

Sorry. Pardon my ignorance. Oh. So, like, I'll have these things in the frontal for part of my ignorance oh so like i'll have these things in the frontal lobe of my brain like right here so i might say my third eye and for a long time i thought like wow i'm really psychic because i don't like convulse it feels like i'm about to sneeze and now it'll feel like you know when you get deja vu right it's intense deja vu but then i'll see like visions that don't add up.

Wow. Or memories that aren't real. And they'll last like 30 seconds to maybe a minute. They happen randomly. This is embarrassing. But when they first started happening, I did go to a very expensive, intuitive woman. To figure out. She told me, well, she told me I had the gift.

Yeah. And I believed it. And then three years later, I went to the neurologist and he said, you absolutely should have come to me first. And it was actually cheaper to see a neurologist than to see this psychic.

That's so wild. I wouldn't have believed it in this country you know like it's and then he prescribed me dog medication oh the neurologist or the psychiatrist or the psychic

yeah I was like I didn't see a psychiatrist I don't need help everyone's like it's okay to go to therapy. I'm going to clairvoyant. I'm not a snowflake. Watch your mouth. Watch your mouth. No, it's called Keppra, and it's the same medication they give dogs when they have seizures.

Felt pretty bad. So you thought you were having a bit of deja vu? Is that how that just came up now? Oh, memory. So part thought you were having a bit of deja vu? Is that how that just came up now? Oh, memory. So part of the Caesars is memory. It's memory loss, which is terrifying because I do have a grandmother with dementia. So it's like, all right, starting early. Here we go.

My grandmother, yeah, had dementia as well. I think anything when you're like, I'm a generation after. Do I need to worry? They skip the generation. My parents are going to be fine, I'm a generation after. Do I need to worry? They skip the generation. My parents are going to be fine. Right. I'm like, shit. And I need to take my dog medication.

But the side effects outnumber the benefits. Right. They're like that. And like he told me this. The pharmacist told me this. The Internet. Like, is the Internet. Sure, the Internet told you a lot.

Yeah. pharmacist told me this the internet like sure the internet told you a lot yeah but it's like one like the the most like frequent side effects is um severe aggression like like mood altering aggression and irritability and then this sense of like out of body severe depression and it's like cool and the doctor was like, but you'll know you're depressed and you'll be aware that you want to kill yourself. So you'll could just get off. And I was like, what? Just like that, doc?

I think I'll stick with deja vu, thanks. He's like, you'll, you know, you'll start, you might start having suicidal thoughts and ideations, but just remind yourself you're on a medication and the thoughts aren't real and i was like oh my god i liked it better when i thought i was a psychic yeah i was like are you a warlock yeah then yeah the psychic telling you he's like oh don't listen to him he's a sorcerer he's against us yeah yeah my psychic said who are you saying clara how'd you know no see i told you he said my name right

we used to date they're in a racket together just like neurologist is misspelled and oh yeah i'm like yeah my insurance covers this and the guy's like yeah yeah yeah yeah sure it does sure kill yourself just sign your life policy over to me yeah go ahead keep taking these so i haven't started my medication yet i refuse but maybe this next story will help me yeah i think we have a cure for you uh it comes from as our writer jam put it the benjamin button of the right wing charlie kirk he you know was a big hit when he was in college uh as like the only conservative in college, I think, was like his thing. His identity. It's so hard being a conservative on these places. But really, because I think he was kind of out of college and then turning points like, let's write this kid the face of a Koch brothers basically plucked this guy out and funded him to like become the face of young Republicans.

funded him to like become the face of young republicans but he's now appearing in fox news ads for relief factor which is a drug-free pain relief supplement his appearance includes kirk making a big deal about how he can throw a football now thanks to relief factor, which makes, does it, it doesn't really make sense for a 27 year old. No. Be like, it's just like assumed that he couldn't throw a football before because like this ad is normally like the other people who have done it are like Pat Boone. Right. So,

so they're just like writing the ad as though he's 80 years old. He's like, now I can throw a football. Thanks, Relief Factor. It's like, yeah, why wouldn't you be able to? You're 27, fool. Watch this commercial because you really get an appreciation for how much of a grift this is. Just keeping in mind when you listen to this, watch this. He's 27 years old and he's not brett farve age 70 right

and the the way it's set up is just truly a feat of snake oils men celery if that's a word um here we go about a year ago i could barely walk down the street or sit in a chair for more than 10 minutes without horrible pain and now look at me i'm here to tell you about Relief Factor, the 100% drug-free supplement that's helping tens of thousands of people, young and old, to get out and stay out of pain. Okay, and then they go into testimonials. But like, I'm sorry.

Usually what you do is you say what your source of pain is, right? Because that's how you get someone to relate to you and sell a product. To be like, you know, I'm a truck driver and sitting a certain way has like, you know, compressed my spine or a certain way. Or like I played football.

You're a 27-year-old political grifter who can't sit still? For 10 minutes? Sounds like karma, motherfucker. Like what are you talking about? I don't know, it's always uncomfortable. It's like wild. So I got to take these powders and shit. Last year, my

spine began trying to escape. Everybody, my spine. I'm telling you, that's not even a body part. You keep saying it. My spine began trying to escape from my body out of embarrassment. Anyways,

this is apparently the Koch brothers funding to relief factor pipeline is real. Sebastian Gorka made headlines when he became the pitchman for relief factor and they got sued because he introduced himself as Dr. Sebastian Gorka, even though he's not a medical doctor, but it was heavily implied that he was. So, you know. Hey, hell yeah. I'm Dr. Dre. You want to take like.

I wonder if people would get mad if it was Dr. Dre because they're like, well, that's his name. Yeah. Jane Seymour. She's just like forget i'm dr quinn but does it work jack that's the thing for snake oil how does it work what it is like we we can only trust uh liberal institutions like the better business bureau but their website has just a laundry list of complaints about the company's underhanded tactics.

They did what has become a standard, I think, conservative grift. To become a conservative money-making organization, you have to do this at least once where they ask people to sign up to have this shipped to them. have this shipped to them but by signing up what the elderly people who uh were using their product didn't realize is they had signed up for a subscription service where they got they got it multiple times and had their accounts charged multiple times uh which just like the trump thing exactly like this place just like columbia house yep one time nope you're gonna get a bunch of cds and you're gonna be like what that's how we got your dumb ass cause you thought you were getting a couple for free for a penny you idiot

no you're stupid your credit's fucked you nine year old yeah you kids remember Columbia House everyone's like we have Spotify yeah I know I bring it up a lot because it was a turning point in my life when I realized what money was and it wasn't just putting a penny in an envelope with some stamps for a foxy brown cd yeah i gotta get

it now i'm still subscribed to columbia house um and in a lot of debt i i will say the side effects of this relief factor are the same as my dog meds in dizziness, loose stool, and nosebleeds. So maybe my sorcerer warlock of a neurologist is just prescribing me relief. Is your doctor Dr. Sebastian Gorka, if I might ask? Skorka. I read it as Skorka. Dr. Skorka. I didn't think this was separate. Oh my God. Yeah, I don't think this. Oh, my God. Yeah, I don't know. It really is, though.

Like, they always find something to appeal to the base, which clearly is now like, I guess they're they're able to squeeze the in pain, like elderly Gen X boomer voter base. Like, they must be into it because it's not like stuff where charlie kirk's selling like cool stuff for the youth you know right they're like this must be the this must be the sweet spot for their grift is like look they've got money enough where they'll probably buy all the money three months straight and not know that they've been paying for it three months straight and then they wise up and we've made off into the night like bandits that's how much money they have they have so much money. They don't have the money. And I'm like, where's my money?

And they're like, you should have been a baby boomer. Where's your relief factor to sell ever? I'll sell you guys some relief factor. Why not? Ouch! Seven months ago. Hi, I'm Ever Maynard. Has this ever happened to you? Yeah, so vague.

Has this ever happened to you? Is this someone talking? Ouch! Yes. Exactly. I was at my nephew's birthday when pain struck out of nowhere like a lightning strike. I'm young and youthful. This shouldn't be happening

to me i thought yeah you're not allowed to acknowledge that though you're not allowed to right thanks to fear factor i mean relief factor let me take this over again god we should have paid for an editor all this stuff was in the commercial. Wait, let me say that again. I mean, relief factor. Thanks to relief factor and my good friend Skorka. Skorka. Now for women. Now in women's.

No non-binaries. Right. conservative sorry have you seen our policies we're we're violently we're men or women that's it that's it if you got pain it's probably because you're not one of the two brought it on yourself what is this this is hey are you my sorcerer i'm sorry sir are you my sorcerer hey this is gonna sound weird all right let's take a quick break we'll come back hello everyone i am lacy lamar and i'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar.

And we are back. Let's talk about Z-Way. Z-Way's show on Showtime is brilliant. I think we've talked about it before. But it's smart. And her ability to ask direct questions to make her guests squirm is like a superpower, basically. Like one that she's just gained over the years from operating in white spaces. And she's like, I think I can say qualitativelyly what do you appreciate about black people to a white guest and it's me like circuits are frying so most people

i would say majority of people who understand comedy or know who z-way is or have heard of the show go wow this show is really funny it's a great satirical variety show it's uh easy to watch and this person is immensely talented who like did you see i read a thing she just got another she's got another show in development with amazon like nigerian princess i'm like yo keep going z-way and it's funny because the for the first time i heard desus and meryl mention her on bodega boys where like i'm like yo bro there's she's about she's bigger than y'all at this point right because she was in that writer's room so now wait that was the first time they mentioned her they don't talk about her well i'm sure they've talked about her on this show and things like that but on bodega boys they they

made a mention not to say like oh she's doing so great but they're like yo you know stop trying to take z-way spot or something all right oh okay got it she's evolved over the the course of the show because before she became like z-way capital z they would reference her as one of the show because before she became like Z-Way, capital Z, they would reference her as one of the writers. All that to say is the show is a hit. She can't be stopped. She's just she's riding this wave straight to the promised land. We love it.

And what is unfortunately, some people in this world, they merely hear the words white women and they go off. And this is exactly what happened when a mother at this manhattan private school heard that a teacher played the class a clip from z-way show on the last day of school okay not as like a teaching thing she was like man whatever it's the end of the summer like y'all fuck with z-way i don't know like here let me play this thing so this uh from this article says quote uh gabriella baron wrote a three-page letter to the school's board of trustees railing against the clip, which she called a gratuitous display of racist hate speech directed at white women. For context, Barron is referring to an

episode that included among other things, Z-Way observing that Fran Lebowitz is quote, not concerned with how annoying white women can be. And quote, in another scene, Z-Way asks a group of women named karen how it feels to be associated with the quote obnoxious angry and entitled often racist white women this school costs fifty seven thousand dollars a year and this is this is where the energy is going at the moment but it makes sense because if you got fifty seven thousand dollars take your kid to school like i'm sure you uh you might have some interesting ideas on what equality is

or what equity is. Oh my god. You wrote in your write-up of this that it's just so boring. These people are just like... Get a life. So are they going to fire the teacher now? So, because it's a

$57,000 a year school, you know they can't just be like shut up karen you know what i mean they were gonna be like so they wrote an email to everybody as you may know yesterday a parent who is also an alumna and a former trustee i'm sorry i'm reading it but this is really what's written yeah uh sent a letter to the board of trustees to voice her strong objection to a video shown to 15 students in her daughter's grade eight history class on the last day of school. We take this seriously.

It is never acceptable to ridicule anyone at any time. This video is not part of the Spence curriculum. Our teacher and the school acknowledge that sharing a satirical video that made fun of white women was a significant mistake. We are sorry for any harm that this has caused to anyone in our community. I'd

love to hear some stories from the students of color from this school and what their experience has been. Yeah, honestly. And also like Out this mom. Shout out to their families. Yes, shout out to her mother. Keep it real. Keep it safe for everybody.

Have retreat to your safe spaces where you do not have to confront your hand in white supremacy we are sorry for any harm this has caused in anyone in our community anyone in our time wow but like this is another thing too i'm i i wonder if they really think that i'd imagine some hip New York eighth graders know who Z-Way is. They probably fuck with the show. You know what I mean? So what are we talking about here?

Their parents probably direct it. Right. Let's be real. Yeah, exactly. Or produce it. What is more like what modern entertainment that's being produced is more appropriate to show to like young people than this. This is brilliant satire.

What the fuck are you talking about? Well, look, it's just like, I don't know if they're ready for it. It's like, do you know where kids are at when they're 14? We've seen everything but God. They're watching Adult Swim. Yeah, come on now. But whatever. This is what they have to do to sort of maintain their fucking...

Bibbidi-Bob. Yeah, thank you, bibbidi-bop whatever. Yeah. Thank you. Bibbidi-bop. I started using this and realizing that that's not actually a phrase people say that it's not a, it's not a catch-all. Bibbidi-bop is not a catch-all,

but is it more specific? Well, it's just like, Oh, give me that bibbidi-bop or she's over here doing a bibbidi-bop thing. Or, Oh my, you know,

it's just like, can you stop bibbidi-bopping around? I just have just started using it. No, I like that. I'm with that. Let's make this happen. Reminds me a little bunny foo foo. That's where it started from.

Yeah. The idea of like a rabbit bopping around. And it teaches you to, you know, solve your problems with violence, which is good for my children to learn. Knock them over the head. That's what bunny foo foo is? Do you know, you my children to learn that's what bunny foo foo is do you know you don't know that song little bunny i know this song but i wasn't listening to lyrics at that age i was picking up the field mouse and bopping them on the head oh that's

people turn into cops after they listen right right right little officer little sergeant foo foo was patrolling the low-income neighborhood. And you're like, whoa. Hang on. We got something. Speaking of women, Black Widow is coming out soon. People are seeing it in theaters. It's getting good reviews. But people are also pointing out that Marvel has just a history of totally fucking this character up, including Scarlett Johansson in the press for this.

She's like, yeah, so I guess I can now say like not the best way to introduce the character in Iron Man 2 when Tony Stark was just like looking at pictures of her in a lingerie catalog for some reason. And then said to his girlfriend, I want one. So like literally treating her like as a disembodied piece of meat. They have hidden her from like, they won't make toys with her. Uh,

she had a big moment in age of Ultron, like this motorcycle chase. It was like one of the big action set pieces in that movie one avengers film i know and they for the toys for that film they just replaced her with captain america they were like what yeah they just put captain america on a motorcycle and we're like you know kids are kids are going to want to... They're not going to want to play with a girl. On a motorcycle.

I mean, come on. And then there was a thing that I had vaguely remembered, but around the time of Age of Ultron, during the press junket, Jeremy Renner and Chris Evans, who's supposed to be the good Chris, called Black Widow a quote,, slut and a, quote, complete whore.

What? At a junket. They called the character that. Wow. That was a long time ago, Jack. What was that, the 70s? Right. Yeah.

Are we going to do a Chris Harrison thing here? Come on, man. What was that? Was it really problematic in 2018? Listen to his statement. Can I, were you going to read that? Yeah, no, go for it. I'm sorry that this tasteless joke about a fictional character offended anyone.

It was not meant to be serious in any, what a gaslighter. Oh, yeah. Jeremy Renner. The most insincere. Right. I mean, Jeremy Renner has managed to gaslighter oh yeah jeremy renner the most insincere right i mean jeremy renner has managed to gaslight himself so he's uh i'm sorry if this offended anyone about a big shit about a fictional slut right you know and then he he doubled down on he went on conan and was asked about it and he was like yeah i you know it got blown way out of proportion but you know she

had sex with uh four of the eight avengers so and you had sex with a jeep cherokee okay right no a jeep jeep cherokee had sex with him um okay spoiler coming up have you guys seen avengers endgame nope no but you can you can look all right i've i can spoil it to you too right you can spoil it to me but if you're if you're like me who is a completionist and hasn't watched the all the avengers films because you want if you feel like you have to watch every fucking marvel film to understand it maybe you can turn off but so go ahead jack well first of all so i will say that Fandango says Black Widow is the most searched for movie like of this summer, like even more than like the Fast Nine Fast and Furious. Like people this has like all the like metrics that suggest this will be a big hit and people are really into it.

I hadn't realized. And this is the spoiler part. She's dead. Like that character is dead. she's dead like that character is dead she died at the end of she died at the end of end game and nobody mentions it because tony stark also spoiler died no they made like such a big big deal about that and they were just like oh yeah she's dead so they're releasing a movie that's a prequel where she the character's already dead. It's just like, so half-assed for like their first, you know, female led superhero movie.

I guess it's not Marvel. Captain Marvel was. Yeah. So Marvel. Yeah. Yeah. Huh? What up?

So they're like, yo, sorry that, uh, we kind of just desecrated your memory in like the climactic scene of this huge film. So as a make good, let's turn the clock back and get your side of the story. How about that? There's also this like weird kind of implication around her.

So like they in Age of Ultron, which you're not going to be shocked to learn was written by Joss Whedon when I tell you this part of the plot. She is talking to Hulk about how he's not the only monster on the team because she underwent forced sterilization at the end of her training. What? So that makes her a monster? Yeah. her training and like that is so she's so that makes her a monster yeah she's saying being infertile it makes her a monster is the implication i will say we kind of skimmed over this but it could be because the chairman and former ceo of marvel ike yeah i promoted it yeah yeah yeah he donated to trump so that makes sense they're They're pushing an agenda to the people. I'm sure.

Because young kids picked it up. They're like, yeah, that's right. And he's he's one of the the pro mutters. They they give a lot still. Like there's there's been an analysis like these like pockets of like under like not traditional donors to the party that have just ramped up their donations to different groups and things like that. And yeah. Hmm. Who would have thought?

Quietly sidelines. How do you pronounce his name? Perlmutter? Yeah. Perlmutter. Perlmutter in 2015 due to his outdated opinions about casting, budgeting, and merchandising.

Tight. So cool. So the only things he's supposed to be doing. Casting, budgeting. So casting means don't, don't hire these people. Budgeting means you're going to pay this X type of person what kind of money. And then merchandising being like, nobody's going to buy something with a black person on it.

Yep. I bet that's all the takes that he had. But I like when they package it together. It's like disagreements on casting, budgeting, and merchandising. It's like, get them off. Worse shit to say i remember back then there was like a a lot of intrigue on the internet about like who is ike perlmutter he's like one of these like big executives at marvel and they don't let anybody

like talk to him it's like oh got it got it got it got it. Yeah, he'll be doing a DJ set pretty soon. Shout out to Chadwick Boseman. You're like, whoa, Ike, please. He has made me a lot of money. Bless you, doggy. Shout out to your family and your estate now, I guess. Bye-bye. All right. Well, we are at that time of the show.

All right. Well, we are at that time of the show. Time to bring on super producer Anna Hosnier for Anna's Streaming Corner. Anna. Welcome in. Welcome. And bienvenue. Welcome in. At your direction, we watched We Are are the champions which is a netflix

docu-series limited docu-series can you talk a little bit about uh why you wanted to watch it why you suggested it why you blessed us with this one well i recommended we are the champions because I had watched it casually on Netflix and I thought all the weird competitions that all these people are doing are really funny. And I just I'm a I'm a docu series person in the sense that I really enjoy characters on TV. Like I enjoy like real people who are just truly interesting and strange. They have just characters on their own. They don't give a fuck how they come off. That's why I like shows like Cheers. Not Cheers.

That's why I like the show Cheer or the docu-series Cheer. And the docu-series Cheers. You've always said you're a fan of that. We have some bad news for you about that one. Our Boston show will be at that bar, right? I do actually love the show Cheers. But also, you know, like,

Cheer, F1, that docuseries on Netflix. I just love a good real-life people with strange hobbies and, I guess, F1s or cheerleading. Or just passion. There's so much passion.'s like entire worlds that they've like built up around these things i just

like when people take themselves really seriously yeah it's just so interesting or in or even like and not in like a pompous way take themselves seriously because the first episode is about cheese rolling and you know they're chasing the double gloucester cheese wheel down this like ridiculously steep hill that we've all seen probably like on the internet of like memes i feel like why do they do that but yeah i thought like that uh florence early woman who was like the chasing her like fourth title there was something so life-affirming about oh yeah watching her actually just talk about it and her own like fearlessness where people like, man, nobody's done it like this much or no woman has done it this much. And you just see her throw her fucking body down this hill and she's loving it. And you're like, damn, like you

remember, it's like we all get our life joy out of different shit. Some people like smoking weed and watching Arsenal. Some people want to throw their body down or just like feel alive as fuck i mean i was really like i was i was seriously like moved in that section like especially that last race i was like i hope she does it man like because she deserves it i'll watch this now i want to watch it right here talking about a woman throwing down her body it's actually it's so aggressive in its own way that you're like what the fuck why would you do that right but then they're really into it and her like collarbone was like just oh my god ever popped out like that's just what they're into they got families who have full-on jerseys made for their families for doing this

for so long like they wear jerseys with their last names on them and they're just throwing their bodies down a mountain basically you're chasing a cheese that's rolling and you want to be the first person down there they have a race down the hill there's a rugby team that catches you at the bottom it's just all these like weird strange things and then like then there's people who like organize it that are like i mean yeah we don't really care like we just do it no one can stop us yeah like the city there's no regulations right if it were official then the city could mandate stuff but we just kind of show up every year at this place and it's kind of all to the good and we like that but there's also you know so there's six episodes six different different universes that they kind of parachute you into the middle of.

There's competitive dog dancing, which is pretty beautiful. And you kind of get to meet the Bill Belichick of of that world. Yeah. Team Russia. Yeah. Team Russia is really impressive. I didn't get to that one. I got through the first three. So I saw that one, the chilly one, and the fantasy hairstyling one. But I remember, Anna, when you were first talking about the dog one being just so out there. Is there any joy? Because in my mind, a successful dog dancing team is just full of love.

Yeah. Sure. But this is Russia. So I wouldn't say they're full of love but they're definitely interesting characters there's one lady who's full of love yeah there's one lady who's full of love and she's treated as a liability because yeah they're like she loves to dance so much that sometimes the dance takes over her and yeah they're worried she dances too hard and forgets about the dog because she

gets so into it and that's like that's like a real problem for the main dance the head instructor who's just truly one of the most serious people you'll ever see like they go like you think she'd be smiling they're doing so well and it's like no she doesn't smile dude and she also hates dancing but likes the sport of training a dog to dance with you she says her least favorite part is the dancing yeah so these other yeah that that one's so good because these other like new fangled dance uh international dog dance teams are hiring professional dancers to dance with the dogs. And then she is the Belichick of it, and she hates dancing. So hers is just all about technique and training

and the relationship with the dog. So that was one where you're really like, whoa, are they going to do it? My favorite, which I thought you probably really liked, was the attack team at Italy when they did the Rocky-themed dance, where the dog is boxing where it's like the dog is like boxing it's really unreal the shit they're doing like these dogs are like unreal

how well trained they are and are they doing their own choreo or they're dancing with a partner or like sometimes a dog will break off do a little couple eight count on its own and so it's always one person with a dog but they're like dancing in coordination with each other. But the dog does go do other things like as part of it's like dance. Like you'll go and like do a few spins, jump off a wall. It'll pretend to box you. Like it's just like it's next level what these dogs are doing. It made me look at my dog and be like, what do you do?

Right, right, right. What do you even do? What do you do? Right. Right. Right. What do you even do? What do you even do here? I found you. It's all over YouTube. Yeah, it's beautiful. It's a beautiful sport. There's also a really interesting, like, sort of dark, villainous character

in the competitive pepper eating world. There's, like, this evil mastermind who has, like, basically engineered the creation of the world's hottest peppers smoking ed or what his name is yeah smoking ed oh my sorcerer my neurologist he's just so strange and like gets such a thrill out of like harming these people and it's just just watching that guy grow his peppers and then just like bare hand eating a couple and he's like yeah yeah that's good that's good you're like are

you just casually biting into this like just gut pepper yes i've i've had at the time the maruga scorpion chili was more had more it was like hitting higher on the scoville unit scale than the the carolina reaper was and i i ate it like as a bit for this thing i was doing when i was sacrificing my dignity for clicks on the internet but it was so hot i could not believe like what the point was of doing this because you know it was like a huge internet thing but at a certain point it just people just get off i guess i'm seeing people swell miles we have a surprise for you for this segment uh should we give some context so that second episode is a chili eating contest and this guy who legitimately his whole job is he grows peppers and he also like cross pollinates

and grow he basically grows the hottest peppers in the world peppers that have not even been tested for sco sco scovo levels whatever yeah so he decides he wants to bring every single like pepper eating champion from across the world to hit to like where is he like iowa i don't even know or something somewhere in the midwest carolinas yeah oh okay the carolinas sorry and so to have like a world championship of pepper eating like literally like there's a you know there's people from australia there's like they're from all over the world there's like a science teacher from new york who seems like so like oh i love my kids and then she's

sitting there like one of the toughest competitors you've ever seen and you're like what she's like crying and you you hear her be like i can't see right like you're like that's how hot the pepper is and she's just sitting there yeah she's like i can't feel my face and i can't puking because their stomachs can't handle all the heat and you're just like this is so intense and when it came that competition comes down to like this one guy who clearly has like lost the sensation of taste in his mouth because he's so casual but then there's that woman from columbus ohio was like i want to be the chili queen of the u.s yeah the determination on her face in those last rounds you're like she's gonna die and she's like she was like shaking it's like i'm like yeah i will take it that's definitely like rocky did they win the rocky a thousand dollars yeah i think they got more like

4k maybe oh or she got a thousand they're doing this for under twenty thousand dollars yeah yeah they're doing it for the love of the sport of eating chili peppers there's also uh competitive frog jumping which I really enjoyed. I could get into that. That one's really fun. That one's just beautiful. They just find American bullfrogs, bring a different one. Who's got

boosties? It's a triple jump. The jockey, in quotes, slaps the ground behind them and has to chase them and like make them want to jump. Wow. That one's beautiful.

Cause frogs are just really cool to see in extreme slow motion. The cheese, right. She's lot rolling. One is beautiful because it's just such a like intense environment and like landscape. It's wild. That is establishing shot of the hill on that drone.

I was like, yeah, that's, that was pretty good. Well hill on that drone i was like yeah that's that was pretty good well the frog jumping one's very interesting because it's such a family sport and like it'll be like a family where they're like the son is a 20-time world champion the mom is a 10-time world champion and they'll be like and the dad's never won but he's like really into it and he's like it follows my ear dang it yeah he's such a sweet loser and and the end is really funny because the person who wins over him is like it's really good like you're just like he's just in there like maybe next year yeah and it's just it's just nice. Anyways, five stars. Great pick, Ana.

Life-affirming. So that is this week's Streaming Corner. Ana, do you know what we are going to be watching next week? Yeah, next week we're going to try and watch Starstruck on HBO Max. So good. I've just incrementally begun the journey and I can't. I second this enthusiastically. I also want to recommend another show that you guys can watch on your own time that we probably won't discuss on the show because I hate it. It's not the Mark Wahlberg show.

I finished that. And boy, thoughts and prayers for Mark Wahlberg. But OK, so the show that I'm talking about is on Netflix. There's three seasons already of it. It's called Startup. It has like Adam Brody, Eddie Gattegi, Martin Freeman. There's a lot of great actors. It's infuriating.

It's the most stressful show you'll ever watch. You won't be okay after every episode. There's so much going on. It's like gangsters meet up with tech people and they create a cryptocurrency and it is a wild ride. Let's tell the people what they're actually watching. Starstruck. Right. Starstruck.

Rose. HBO Max. Mattifeo. And you. In a streaming corner, but okay. Go ahead. Can you pitch me the premise just so people are starstruck on board yeah yeah so it's a woman rose manafeo hilarious comedian and comic actor now you know from new

zealand doing her thing yeah she plays the role of a woman who hooks up with a guy who turns out to be very very very famous and she didn't realize and now she's basically navigating this relationship because he's into her and she's like what the fuck is going on you're kind of a douche like actor guy yeah and she was not expecting that so now she's in that world and it's she's so funny so you know hilarity ensues. And good performances from even like everybody in that cast. I found myself like laughing, at least in the first couple episodes. It's some fun moments. So check it out.

All right. Well, I just went down on Mark Wahlberg. You just found out about his business career. Yeah. You should check out his show, Wall Street, spelled exactly like you think. Yep. All right. All right.

Sorry. Okay. Didn't mean to interrupt. Ever. It's been such a pleasure as always having you. Thank you think. Yep. All right. All right. Sorry. Okay. Didn't mean to interrupt. Ever. It's been such a pleasure as always having you. Thank you for having me. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff? Yeah. All of my socials are my name.

So it's ever like the word E-V-E-R and then Maynard M-A-I-N-A-R-D all across the boards. And is there a tweet or some of the work of social media you've been enjoying? I do like Josh Gondelman a lot. I know. I was just saying he's been really hot lately.

I feel like. Yeah, Josh Gondelman. You know, he's been doing. What? We got a response. From Will B? What? From Will B.

Oh, my God. Twilight Hour. Oh, my God. Hello. Is this Will B? Is the cow still around God, Twilight Hour. Oh my God. Hello, is this Will be? Is the cow still around? Nope. That's it?

Yeah. I'm going to say, okay, thank you for your time. Thank you for your service. Nope. Nope. Hell yeah. Wow. Well, I'm glad we closed that circle.

That was huge. Wow. Nope. That's awesome. Hell yeah, it will be. Well, at least we know that it was real. Otherwise, he would have taken the bait. Right.

He's like, you mean my wife? Take her. All right, so we're going to go Gondelman for your tweet wreck. Yeah, we're going for Gondelman. Go with Gondelman. Hey, Super Producer Anna Hosnier, where can people find you? What's a tweet you've been enjoying? I am at Anna Hosnier on Twitter.

A tweet I've been enjoying includes this guy Shant Misrobian. He seems to be some weird, I don't know, he's like a weird conservative operative dude on Twitter who like goes after the left a lot. and he's just been tweeting all this really wild stuff like it says if you could shoplift a podcast subscription

online leftists would change their tunes real quick what are you talking about and then everyone's like oh boy oh you don't know you know huh i think this is a bot It must be because his tweets are unbelievably confusing as to why. Yeah, I think that all turn into libertarians. This is what he said. Online leftism is having the politics of Nancy Pelosi and also thinking it's really edgy and cool when Ken Klipperstein pranks a Republican congressman into thinking his mom just died in a car accident. And then Ken was like, I never never did that what are you talking about and then he just every response is like an evil villain and then ken can be like why are you talking to me like a saw villain and it's just a really funny thread and now everyone i mean like a lot of people i know on the left if you

will leftist twitter are all just making shant jokes because his name is shant and they're like everything ken tweets people will post like a car slamming on its brakes and being like shant's reaction right now and it's just been a really funny thread to follow because it's just it doesn't make any sense like it's just so weird uh so anyway i would recommend i wish you guys like would leave shant alone because he's actually my sorcerer. Back off, Shant. Back off. You don't want a piece of Shant. Miles, where can people find you?
