National Breast Cancer Awareness Day. But, yeah. I am am aware of lizards so i can check that off the box what about witch hazel

when you used to have pimples as a kid and they say witch hazel i never used witch hazel personally yeah i didn't either i just associate that with like people being like can i put the witch hazel on the cotton ball i don't know i don't know how it works but shout out witch hazel on the cotton ball? I don't know. I don't know how it works, but shout out witch hazel, I guess. I just used Oxy, which was, I'm pretty sure, just rubbing alcohol. Just made your face completely dry out. Oh, I thought you meant the painkiller. I was like, that's not for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I just used Oxy to deal with my acne. Yeah, well, teach their own. Don't recommend it. Teach their own. All right. Well, my name's Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, six. Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, six. end it. Feats their own. Alright, well my name's Jack O'Brien, aka 6'7", 8'6". 6'6", 7'7",

Mayinging in reference to the passing of Hagrid and my dreams being shattered when I found out that the actor was a mere 6'1 and was not in fact 8'6 as I had assumed. It's tough. It's tough.

Anyways, this is a tough day for us all. I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co-host Mr Mr. Miles Gray. Miles Gray, a.k.a. Teenage Miles Gray, scrubbing cake from his JNCOs. Harrison Ford barges in through the back door. Looking for the laser zone. Is this the right way for the

laser zone okay shout out to who is that Mordecrier I think let me make sure I yep thanks thank you on the discord thank you so much for that Kenny Loggins slash mashing up the story about when I had cake all over my crotch at Harrison Ford looked at me like I was real weird

tilted his sunglasses down there's a real chance that walked in, tilted his sunglasses down. There's a real chance that he had to tilt his sunglasses down because he was coming out of the sun and saw you just doing something furiously to the crotch area of your pants. Just trying to get fucking Costco sheet cake icing

off the front of my weird baggy khaki cargo pants and just went, is this the way to get to the laser zone? Miles is bringing props today. He had the cool guy meme sunglasses. Look, I'm learning from Herschel Walker. Within reach. You got to have props.

You got to have props to make your points. Well, Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third and fourth seats by two very funny podcasters who host the new hit podcast, Ridiculous News. It's Mark Kendall and Bill Worley. Hey, Bill. Hey.

Thanks so much for having us on, y'all. It's exciting to be here. Great to be here. You guys are coming to us from the southeast. Exactly right. Atlanta, Georgia. That is correct. Happy to be here.

Yeah. Great to be on the Daily Zeitgeist, y'all. Man, you guys have real pro podcast voices on right now. I'm really fucking kidding. I'm like, thank you so much. I'm like, wow. I hate to blow you up, but that's not what their real voices are, guys. Before we started recording, completely different.

That's not my real voice. Scratchy. Not at all. Yeah, Mark was smoking filterless red cigarettes like Margo. Yeah, man, when are we doing this? I just went through puberty between introducing myself and this. Bill actually has a very thick Teutonic accent when he's not recording. So just FYI.

He's probably a spy. How was the weather in Georgia? Oh, my gosh. Last week, it was amazing. This week, it's very frigid. And I don't know why. It's only October. It shouldn't be. Freezing freezing yeah yeah what's freezing again got down to like 33 34 degrees

yesterday so pretty cool abnormally cold for atlanta at this time for sure gotcha gotcha just like hearing about weather because i'm currently in washington dc and someone asked me if it was really necessary to wear a down coat yesterday. And I was like, to me it is. And please just leave me alone. And I just kept walking. That's exactly how I am. I was in Canada the other day and I wore a coat because it was 52 degrees and people were walking around with flip-flops and shorts

and looking at me like I was the Unabomber. And it was, yeah, I fully support being warm and sweaty over cold and dry. Exactly. I do think that's the nice thing about Atlanta is they support that. Yeah. Don't climb your shame. Yeah. There is a certain type of person a lot of times from the East Coast that just that is a point of pride that they don't need to dress for the weather.

Yeah. Wear it proudly. You know. Right. Yeah. Comes with the territory. Can't imagine it's super healthy for're proudly you know right yeah yeah comes with the territory can't imagine it's super healthy for their you know skin overall immune system but it's like you were it's like you were soothing me as if i was the hurt child who came back from school and you're like it's okay miles their prop their skin is probably not gonna be so dried out yeah so yeah they don't win a

prize for being brave through the cold you know i'm saying there's no price there's no there's no there's no you're just uncomfortable yeah and focusing all your energy on not chattering your teeth all right so nobody knows all right well we're gonna get to know you both a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We're going to talk about some crypto bros that scammed both sides, got them, hit them where it hurts. Left and right. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about Liz Truss. You know, as we mentioned on yesterday's trending, she is leaving office, an all-time short tenure at 10 Downing Street. But the thing that we want to talk about today to follow up is really that book that is coming out in December that is, it's called Out

of the Blue, the inside story of Liz Truss and her astonishing rise to power. It's coming out in December. The back of the book is her entering like walking through the doors of 10 downing so we're just gonna talk about that because that's sometimes fun to just kind of enjoy the scenery as everything crumbles around us all that plenty more but first mark bill we do like to ask our guests what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Yeah, this morning I was checking my search history, and this morning I searched for Too Legit to Quit, the MC Hammer music video.

It's a 15-long music video. I watched it because I was trying to remember, like, who's in it again? And it's just like all these cameos. James Brown's in there. Deion Sanders is in there. Mark Wahlberg's in there. Jim Belushi's in there. All these people. And I went Mark Wahlberg's in there. Jim Belushi's in there. All these people.

And I went back and rewatched the whole thing. It's pretty engaging. Man, that video had me. I was throwing up. Too legit. Too legit to quit. Oh, I was. My dad was like, I think he was a photographer for part of that tour.

And I had his press photo badge. I would rock that shit to school. I'd be like, my dad took a picture of him doing that shit to school and be like my dad took a picture of him doing that shit and they're like what are you talking about i'm like don't worry it was like the hammer pepsi world tour it's like one of my most coveted pieces of memorabilia that's amazing that's amazing i think that was my first concert actually what the hammer pepsi world tour and yeah yeah it might have been that or it might have been the tour before when Please Hammer Don't Hurt Him was out.

And Vogue opened for him and Vanilla Ice was supposed to open for him and we found out once we got there that Vanilla Ice was backing out because Ice Ice Baby had just dropped. But I got a poster. I wonder if I grew up with a poster on my wall, Miles, that was

photographed by todd grett who knows i don't know i mean i don't know he was bad with his business so it's a chance that he may have taken a photo and they're like yeah all right so we're gonna no money for you sell it on concert i mean most most deals do end up like that they're like you can sell a couple but we own everything okay don't get it too legit to quit was i think my first experience with like a disappointing sequel but one that i just was like hell no we're like we're fully locked in here i'm pot committed this is awesome and like it took me years to just like unwind it and be like that was kind of mediocre like it it was it had all the celebrity you know cameos that you know but it was it was

sort of papering over that it wasn't it was no can't touch this yeah yeah there's like a storyline going through it too that doesn't really get paid off because like you know basically mc hammer he walks into james brown's throne room and he's like am i ready and james brown like you be ready and then he like throws these fireballs into mc hammer and it's like hurting him he's giving him like the juice the stuff to go take over the world because it starts out where it's like breaking news mc hammer has quit no one knows where he is and like danny glover's like what mc hammer quit that's crazy and it goes to queen latifah like where's's Hammer? Where is he? This is like a five minute news segment. And I'm like, where is Hammer?

Did Hammer quit? And then MC Hammer, he walks in to James Brown's throne room and he gets hit with all these balls of fire. And then he walks in shirtless, but then after the final fireball he's transformed into his Hammer suit and he's joined by all of

his dancers. he's like now go out there give me the glove presumably i guess like michael jackson's sequined glove right okay okay they they turn into a globe and then they fly to the concert and then it's off to the races after that now the hammer suit what would if i remember correctly is that shiny parachute pants with suspenders it is however in the two legit music videos just more of like all black suit yeah it's like kind of like rhythm nation like the oakland version oh okay because they're kind of uniformed that was a cool decision yeah yeah i'm just reading about how james brown basically just sent the cost of this music video into the fucking stratosphere

because they wanted to get james brown in it but the thing was he was in jail and the day they were starting production that was the day of his release so they had to send a private jet to pick up james brown from south carolina where he just got out of prison took him to la and then when he was there he's like let me get two more days with the jet he took it for two more days and went to vegas and yeah they were just it just increased the cost exponentially so went to vegas got up to some bad stuff was back in prison when they needed him for reshoots so then they had to break him out of prison, which was a big, big expense. That's amazing. What a time to be alive. How about you, Bill?

What's something from your search history? You know, beyond the boring stuff, work stuff, there was one. Kick the Ladder is a local film collective here in Atlanta. And so I was trying to look up to submit a film. They do like this really cool weekly film submission for people. And some people, you know, in Atlanta, there's a lot of film production. So you might have people who have a lot of experience with film. There might be someone who's never worked in film, who's just shooting something on their iPhone.

And every week they roll three die and the die determine what you need to put in your 60 second film. and the die determine what you need to put in your 60-second film. And this week, the film has to be three shots, and an animal has to be a main character. And so I shot a silly little film with one of Mark and I's friends, Andy, and submitted it. And I'm looking forward to it. They're showcasing it tonight at a bar in Covington, Georgia.

What kind of animal is Andy? Andy is a human being. And then his animal, no, but his animal, because I don't have an animal, is Meatball, this really cute kitten who's chasing around toys and lasers that were shining everywhere. Nice. Turned out okay. Good 60 seconds of entertainment. And, like, the whole film is about just the mundane nature of consumer. It does actually have a word or as a cup field, because Andy's doing this sad monologue throughout him playing with this.

There it is. So you called it. I can feel it. I was like, that's how I would turn that footage up. I thought you were just doing an impression of Bill before we started recording. Before he threw on his yank accent. Yeah.

What is something that you guys think is overrated? Why don't you kick us off, Bill? I think caffeine is overrated. That is a big one for me. So I love coffee. I grew up drinking coffee. I was a barista in college. I, you know, like my brother used to work for Red Bull. So I've been around caffeine a lot. And I recently quit drinking caffeine probably about eight months ago. And my life has been significantly better. You know, I think caffeine for I like the ritual of coffee. I love the taste of coffee. I like that aspect of coffee. But the caffeine to me just I found it just gave me anxiety and like a burst of energy that was followed by, you know, a lot of just calm and downtime and like lack of energy. calm and downtime and like lack of energy and you know plus you gotta take a shit you know you know yeah it's not always convenient not convenient yeah definitely it's a diuretic as

well yeah and so i've never you know like cutting it out of my system i've actually found myself to be more awake in the mornings and have more consistent energy through the day. And I'm not sitting here trying to convert anybody, but it's a big thing. Yeah, yeah, don't worry. Yeah, yeah, I'll be there. Do you, do you. No, I definitely, you know, I had, I went to matcha for a little while and was just like really, you know, I went to matcha for a little while and was just like really, you know, as much matcha as could be.

Like I've reached the saturation point of matcha every time I would have matcha, like make myself matcha. It was like one scoop. Okay. And then I would put like three scoops in there and just, you know, stir it until it was, you know, somewhere between a solid and a liquid and so like i wasn't necessarily fully getting off coffee but it definitely i i my hong shu mi mi mi was in a better place than than it is these days now that i'm back on coffee so for sure i i think there's something to be said for it i just am not personally at a place where i can do it without feeling like i have a flu for three weeks oh you think you have caffeine flu like caffeine withdrawal like that yeah damn

i've had it before yeah oh shit yeah well then do they have like can you do like a medical like detox like they do like if you're trying to kick hard drugs like you go to a hospital and they're like hey man just don't drink coffee for the next couple of days and then they you know give you fluids and shit and somebody yeah here take some excedrin which is 100 grams of caffeine yeah right just a little bit just a little bit yeah my i learned it from my grandma in like rip kk wonderful amazing woman but she always you know up until the end she drank instant coffee she was always into the instant coffee for some reason crystals huh and ruined her teeth but you know she did live to 90 years old so i can't sit here and say that it shortened her lifespan

or anything like that but she would complain sometimes about if she tried to quit or even missed a cup she would have headaches yeah it's for being as psychoactive as it is it's like one of the one of the substances that like i i'm always expecting doctors to be like oh no yeah just don't drink coffee like ever what would you do but like it feels like there people are still like yeah you know coffee can be good for brain health and longevity and stuff like that. So who knows? Yeah. Mark, how about you?

What's something you think is underrated? Yeah. Overrated. Overrated. I'm going to say wireless headphones. I feel like a lot of people have been like, Mark, get wireless headphones. The technology is fantastic. But the thing is, the wiring, even though it is annoying on like some earbuds or whatever, it helps me know i'm not gonna lose it you know what i'm saying like and i feel like if i i feel like you know having no wire to

connect to the headphones make them easier to lose especially if they're like ear pod air pods or something like that and so it's just like i feel that you know as our technology moves forward there's bits of the older technology that's like don't don't forget them wires wires have multiple uses you know right it's like i never lost my big old wired headphones that's for sure yeah that's right so you don't lose them you also like they're at a price point where once the like so i have uh the airpod pros which i like okay myself a four-year window since i lost the last ones to be like all right like i i can do it again and like there's something that's changed in the last week where they no longer like filter out sound that isn't oh yeah you got to take them in there's

a whole thing you can exchange your airpods oh you can't yeah yeah because if they should but i was gonna say like with with wired ones at least they're at a price point where it's not like fuck you know well i guess i'm just gonna keep using these broken ones but i'm also bad at capitalism and buying consumerism so it turns out i all i need to do is tournament yeah so thank you you just saved me a bunch of money miles oh yeah you know there's like there was like some defect or whatever because her majesty had airpods we got like i don't know like right before the pandemic or something and then they they had a whole thing like if you bought them with this date just come through we know they're fucked up no questions asked just come on by we already know yeah um

so if you're experiencing that i think let's just you know do a quick google search but i do like the thing of like old school things solving modern problems i just saw this video of like german police there was a guy with a knife like on the train and like the cops like secured the train car and then these two dudes in chain mail came in the fucking train the dude has a knife and they're like bro you ain't getting through this and they just like hugged him up and took him off and i was like god damn they just like get in the chain get in the chain mail crew come on come on they're like you can't you've really done it sorry y'all we're gonna delay this medieval times for about 30 minutes so we gotta yeah sorry

uh sorry the thing is i moonlight as a medieval times person. I'm actually on call 24-7 with the police department as a knife subduer. But yeah, it was like wild to see like such a simple thing. We're like, right. You don't have to fear. There is a thing that we made back in the day. It was like, oh, blades? Put on the chain mail. And instead, like, yeah, all the comments on this, like, post on the Internet were like, wow, it just shows you, like, spend all this money in America just for people using chain mail and being like, yeah, look, nobody died. So, yeah. Right. Check that out. What is something that you guys think is underrated? Mark, how about you? This actually just came to me just now, but I was thinking about, and this is very specific, but I was thinking specifically about Charles Barkley's performance in Space Jam. I know it's a Michael Jordan vehicle.

However, of the basketball players in the movie, I feel of the NBA players, he gives the most like real grounded performance. He's one of the basketball players that has his powers stolen by the Monstars. And he you see him going to a doctor and people don't believe him that his skills have been taken away. And so he actually has like a real arc where he's like, he starts out, he's Charles Barkley. I mean, outside of Michael Jordan, he's one of the best ones doing it. And then one day he cannot do what he is meant to do. And on top of that, people don't believe him for the reason why. And then suddenly his skills and talents come back.

and then suddenly his skills and talents come back honestly i feel like if you were to make another space jam just space jam from his perspective yeah and going deeper into that would be like an intriguing story so right yeah that and robes are also underrated i feel just like as a garment okay yeah i like that too yeah could you imagine yeah the humanity of that film like right he's like but i've they don't understand i'm telling them what happened it's like the diving bell and the butterfly or some shit about yeah it's like yeah i could never fathom what this person is going through right there's this movie safe that was like one of the first julianne moore like starring movies and it's all about her having an illness that like won't be diagnosed by modern medicine.

But like it's super real to her and that it's just like her journey through this thing that people are like, it's psychological, like you're losing it. And then, you know, it doesn't have a happy ending. It's just like that. It stays there. But that's something that people struggle with. The syndrome where you're constantly just exhausted. Chronic fatigue syndrome. Yeah. And that's one where they're like, yeah, man, we don't really know.

Sorry. But also, so much of our medical system is also doctors being like, well, I get over it, the thing you're actually in here for. And we're like, what? Yeah. I'm physically experiencing this like yeah yeah all right all right yeah yeah yeah more on that later yeah like people with the cold like you're saying with the cold people being like i'm cold you know right yeah yeah just just hey look they're cold they lost their basketball skills believe them yeah believe charles parkley

and he i mean i do think he is somebody who we've seen is okay with being vulnerable. Like, you know, even in his personal life, like, and on TNT, like, we'll admit when he fucks up and that maybe that was like an early look at Charles Barkley's vulnerability gear. Oscar, Oscar in the future for Charles Barkley. We just need a brave enough director. That's the real Tarantino reclamation project that Charles Barkley just stars. He is our new Sidney

Poitier. Bill, what's something you think is underrated? Being from Atlanta, I think Atlanta is underrated. Being from Atlanta, I think Atlanta is underrated, way underrated. I love Atlanta. Mark, who was born in Atlanta, I can only claim living in Atlanta since the third grade, but I claim Atlanta. I mean, so many things about Atlanta that I love. We got low cost of living. We got excellent weather. What do we don't have? We don't have forest fires. We don't have

droughts. We don't have to worry about the oceans getting too big. We're not too close to the oceans. We are the city in the forest. We have more tree canopy than any other city in the entire nation. 48% of Atlanta is trees, parks everywhere. So many things. I feel like sometimes people just think of Atlanta and their only experience is going through our airport, which I also love because if I need to go anywhere, I can pretty much get there on a direct flight. That's right. Including like Korea, you know, like it doesn't matter. So always been a huge fan of ATL and our comedy and art scene here is so great and underrated. And yeah, y'all. That's great, man. That was both convincing and made me mad at you. Go ahead, Miles.

Sorry, just as like drought God, I'm like, hold on. Didn't you guys have a drought in like 2007 that was like fucked up? We did. We did have a drought, definitely. I'm just saying like, I feel like I've heard drought in Atlanta in the same sentence before, but that's I'm just a salty desert person who's living in a place where water shouldn't exist. So that's just my own insecurities. Truly, if you lick Miles's skin, he's very salty. He doesn't get enough water. had one for sure and then you know they've created a couple they've actually done things to hopefully i'll prevent like the the reservoir what that i don't know if you watch stranger things but that big yeah that's now a reservoir where they filmed that giant reservoir so hopefully we're okay though i don't know man like with climate change you know right now i feel like we've missed the

the bullet for a lot of these crazy phenomenon going on with storms and droughts and things. But something's going to come our way. Yeah. I just hope it's not as bad as what's happening everywhere else. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we've got movies made out here. Can you say that for Atlanta?

Yeah. Well, you know what? We won the World Series in the last few. Fuck. What else? What else? 90s classic rap albums were made in... Wait, fuck.

We got better... No, I'm not even going to say we have hot wings in LA. Fuck that. No, you guys win. What are the wings like out west? Is that... They just eat buffalo wings. Hot wings. There's a few places people like to go in the city or whatever but i they there's the the culture

around seasoning hot wings like in the mainstream hot wing restaurants you go to like that people like whoa this new hot wing place opened up they're not doing it right. And they're just, yeah. Sadly, you know, I don't know what else to say, you know? Yeah. They fully exist. Yeah. We do not have like, you know, we don't have J.R. Crickets. You know what I mean? Like, we don't have a thing where you're like, go to blah, blah, blah, blah.

It's like, you know, if you're like a comedian, they'll go to Yield Rustic in Los Feliz during karaoke night. But they're just like straightforward chicken wings. I don't know. They don't do it for me. They don't have lemon pepper wet. That's not a thing out there. No. I mean, although people are now doing that because wing culture is starting to be appropriated, I think, here. You're the lemon pepper wings. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. All right, let's take a quick break.

We'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high-control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives.

Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the U.S. elections approach, it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever. But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share what the science really shows. That we're surprisingly more united than most people think.

We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need to do better and that we can do better. With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki. It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison. We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume. My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in relationships with each other. All that on the Happiness Lab. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. And we're back. And the question that I think a lot of us had is, what do crypto bros and the mainstream media have in common?

And it's that they go after both sides, baby. They got both sides policy. Yeah. That is fucked up. Well, look, it's just about opportunity, right? And of course, that would intersect with the opportunism of people in politics. And we've seen crypto has attracted characters from all across the political spectrum. And crypto billionaires have been orbiting D.C. politics recently because they're trying

to find a way to exert their influence with their new money. And Democrats, I'll start off with Democrats. They were really excited about this guy named Sam Bankman Freed, who is the founder of the crypto exchange FTX. We talked about him during the primaries because he was actually backing another crypto bro candidate in Oregon who was like his homie over someone was like, this other person that he lost to is actually the better candidate, but that didn't stop this guy from investing. So earlier on, I think this, I feel like maybe at the beginning of the year, he was on a podcast and said he would put down quote north of a hundred million dollars, you know, to, to the, to just to get into politics with the Democrats. And although he said, I would

give to anybody as long as they're like emphasizing like proper pandemic prevention and had what he called sane governance. And it seemed like most of it was going to democrats and then he said but you know what i might even go up to one billion someone asked would you go up to a billion he said yeah i quote yeah i think it's a decent thing to look at could be a sort of very easy for me to say yes to this question on a podcast so yeah sure so everybody's like oh shit we got our new peter teal come on baby make it fucking rain on the democrats so first he started off giving 40 million for primaries and people were like oh shit no that's that's that's legit okay we're so thank you thank you thank you and again pandemic preparedness same governance you're in and like i said he gave he even got nancy pelosi to kick a million dollars to his

fellow crypto homie in Oregon who lost. But then he gave that House majority pack that she controls six million. So they kind of netted out for like plus five million just for even them like winking that guy's way. So they're like, OK, this sounds cool. Then the fucking money stopped and he's gone fully quiet. He's not putting a dime towards the general election. And now I think people are sort of like, well, what what what what happened? And he's gone fully quiet. He's not putting a dime towards the general election. And now I think people are sort of like, well, what happened?

We thought shit was fun. And his answer to the questions of like, why did the money stop? He said, well, they got their message out already. So not much I can do now. What? They ran some ads. I think we're good here yeah they're like no uh but you we were sort of counting on this other money to the point that now democrats they do not like they're looking

thin in the bank accounts in a lot of races because before they're like yeah we don't have to do shit republicans are bad and we don't have to really do much to differentiate so they are now triaging they aren't airing tv ads in like six of the 14 republican held districts districts that went for biden in 2020 that look like pickups so they kind of left that but it's kind of like all right well i guess we got to turn our back on that and they've also stopped investing in some uh races with democratic incumbents in places like wisconsin texas michigan and arizona so they're like oh right so you guys kind of got into the ridiculous news coverage of ridiculous news game more

recently than i mean we've been on for like i think a hundred years at this point but did you guys catch any of the crypto wave because that that was a good generator of ridiculous news yeah you know i i own i think 200 worth of crypto hell yeah that's what it used to be 20k you know but in terms of you know we definitely got on to the the craziness here in georgia with the senate race ossoff and warnock and you know the runoffs and mark and i worked with some stacy aprams organizations and it's comedy to promote that stuff so we're really invested as yeah you know hopefully most of georgians and especially atlantans are in these races but in terms of like looking for funding for crypto or anything like

that you know i don't i mean i'll we'll take the money where we can get it fortune versus the bold i guess but no that's cool. Do you guys have a billion dollars by any chance? Because that would be really good. Nancy Pelosi might. Democrats would definitely. I mean, if I looked around, I'd probably find at least like a billion. You know what I'm saying?

Maybe two billion, probably. Got some old hard drives here somewhere that might have some crypto on them. I just got to find the passwords. Not just old MP3s on this one, too. Sorry, y'all. just old mp3s on this one too sorry y'all so i mean i think funding and like playing the political game is you know the one of the one of the top priorities for the big d democratic party and for republicans you know there's obviously that but they really want cultural relevancy that's the thing that really hurts their feelings is that all the

movies they make are terrible so this this is this is another crypto dude who who got them right where it hurts yeah there's this this dude theodore beal who who apparently his followers call him the supreme dark lord of the evil legion of evil. And they describe themselves as minions. And they all complain about things like the quote social justice warrior influence and games and shit and sci-fi

or whatever. So he's like, alright let's make the fucking anti woke superhero film. You guys got my back. The movie was called rebels run and featured a character who's like, where's like a stars and bars, like corset or some shit fighting global police hunting down free thinking conservatives. So it was like really on the nose.

Again, this is a character that he fucking created. And so when he said, yo, let's fucking do this. Like, can we fucking raise the funds they raised a million dollars to make this film so step two if you're trying to make a film right is like

okay well we need to secure some more funding so what he did was he needed to find a bank to put this million dollars in escrow until they raised all the funds but because this guy is literally out here saying just the most vile racist shit and like saying like women shouldn't need. What's the point of women's suffrage? Like seriously saying that a lot of institutions aren't really fucking with him or his money. So, again, enter crypto bros. There's this group called Ohana Capital, I think out of Utah. group called ohana capital i think out of utah and the guy who who runs this sort of group ohana capital he describes his institution as quote offering banking to the unbankable just what a

what a weird don't you want to get involved with him yeah banking to the unbankable that sounds great we fuck with the unfuck withable It's just really the way to do business. So he gave this guy a million dollars and you come to find out. So this guy, James Wolf Graham, who is the one behind Ohana Capital, he called himself a self-described crypto billionaire, posting pictures, sports cars that were supposedly his on social media. But when they dug a little deeper, he found out this guy has been indicted his entire wealth was a fucking joke that all the cars were fucking fake it wasn't real and what like yes when he would talk about his like business around like the high-tech like crypto mining business that he had that was all bullshit too because when people were investigating

like he would have pictures of this like crypto mine or whatever and the computers on but the computers were just playing a fucking video like on loop like it was speed or some shit to trick the people to be like oh that that's working wow he's up to something so anyway that guy he stole he took the million dollars but the thing is he wasn't being indicted because he stole four million from another client. They're like, hey, can you help us buy PPE? This was in the middle of the pandemic from China. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, no problem.

Used all that money. And when they're like, hey, where's our PPE at? He took the million dollars from this anti-woke movie hero film and was like, bought some quick PPEs. Oh, here's some of it. I'm going to keep it going for y'all. And now the anti-woke justice or superhero people are like, we have no money now. Oh, here's some of it. I'm going to keep it going for y'all. And now the anti-woke justice or superhero people like we have no money now. It's just all a Ponzi scheme. It's just pulling money, paying for one scam to cover up the other scam.

Yeah. Yeah. It's all different levels. But I think the funny thing is, right, like on the right, it's so clear when these people are grifting. I mean, it's clear on certain fundraising emails, too, from Democrats. But like especially Republicans love to just sucker the base like the way Donald Trump is right now, like where people think they're like giving to whatever the fuck it is. But he's like, yeah, I got bills. All these people are indicted. They bought like, you know, like cruise ships or whatever yachts and all this craziness it's how do they how do people still believe it's it's amazing that the the tenacity of this bubble that's around them the iron dome of conservative thought that they're

drinking from and like i don't know about y'all but i kind of wish i this superhero was movie was made because i just want to see it at least a trailer right yeah i mean there is a clip of like i think what they were trying to fundraise off of oh wow which i think is just stock footage here let me let me play it for you because there there was something to wet people's whistle to be like hey man you want to waste your money on this right yeah yeah oh no they took it down from video i think this trolling had begun so uh unfortunately we have no trailer for it but i have i can imagine it was something really cool with violence and freethinkers being the ballers that we all know them to be. Right. Yeah.

We'll have to make do with that Dan Crenshaw Avengers trailer. Oh, yeah. When he released. Oh, yeah. When he punched Antifa through the window. Yeah. Oh, my God. That was actually pretty dope.

Yeah. Like, that was just a straightforward. yeah like that was just a straightforward they were just doing like a student film version of an avengers movie and the signifier was just that dan crenshaw was the star of of the movie it reminds me of like don't when conservatives come out with their like hyper stylized commercials like that ron desantis top gun one or like that dan crenshaw one it like it it just reminds me of like that when like the dawn of iMovie and being able to like edit video like on a computer and then like suddenly i'm like a bunch like like for me i was like video nerd kid being like yo let me get this camera let me shoot this and like suddenly people were coming in with low effort shit i was

like man what the fuck is this it feels kind of like how like conservatives have found iMovie or something like yo you can do like really fucking brute like brute force green screen with shit and make it look real bad yo man check out these transitions you can add you ever seen a cross yeah you're you're a filmmaker bill how you you i have to assume just use mostly star wipes it's i am 95 of what i do is star wipes and you know underrated and uh i movie is definitely my top you know i can't i have used i movie in the past especially in college i love oh yeah uh use an i movie but you know i think premiere pro is my go-to now. One thing about crazy ads, like Brian Kemp, who's

the governor here in Georgia, had an ad where he was pointing a shotgun at his son-in-law. Oh, yeah. And he's talking about rounding up illegals, and I'm just, gosh, I wish he had tried something with Star

iMov maybe instead of that right piece of shit yeah or just a bunch of fucked up star wipes as he's holding that double barrel shotgun like about immigrants now here's what i'm saying star wipe on abortion oh no it becomes a real like tim and eric feel of like yeah yeah for real freeze frame yeah i mean the content is there the tim and eric content the character is there it's just a matter of like how it's treated like you just probably like burger to re-edit that and it's 100 indistinguishable from an episode of tim and eric like vick burger like usually trying to edit tim and eric stuff like you're just saying he's like man i just i'll just punch in on the

stuff a bunch over and over i love that i love love that. Brian Kemp and just the slow push in. That's one of my favorites. The sweat dripping down the face. Oh man, love those guys. Alright, let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about the most eagerly anticipated book of December. Thank you.

And Liz Truss, who was the PM of England, of the UK. Yes. United Kingdom. United Kingdom. who was the PM of England, of the UK. Yes, the United Kingdom. United Kingdom. Resigned after 40-something days, the shortest reign of any PM in the history of the UK. She went from being a Lib Dem to being like a Brexiteer. So she's, you know, all the bad things,

all the bad beliefs and neoliberalism mixed with probably some neoconservativism and so anyways she resigned because the economy you know a lot of people are like she fucked up the economy the economy is being fucked up just generally and what we're seeing is people incapable of like kind of recognizing that or like dealing with that and so we have her coming to office and thinking all right this is the beginning of the good days this is the beginning of like my clintonian you know run as eight years like get the get the book started and that's not so much that's not the world we live in anymore it's not no it's pretty volatile out here it's it's it's the crumbles that they call it on it could happen here i just like though too like the inflation's bad like you don't need more

like conservative like free market type shit to like write the economy like you know what we don't let's let's just fucking let's fuck fuck regulations let's have lower taxes like no that's fucking up the oh okay all right wow so you did that you steer into the tailspin and it just becomes a nosedive apparently but definitely points for you know coming up with a like not what we thought was going to happen and definitely not what she thought was going to happen because she has a book coming out it's called out of the blue the inside story of liz truss and her astonishing rise to power perfect holiday gift for family members you fucking hate and yes social media just went in on the book is it did she write it or just like someone was trying to cash in on her i think someone was trying to cash in on her but with her participation yeah with her participation right and yeah i mean there's photos there the

photo on the back is her walking into office so it's like this is just the beginning folks the end of this book just the beginning of the rain which our writer jam pointed out that like that could actually work if she just decides to leave office like backwards walking backwards very slowly so that nobody can see her face then it actually makes sense as book ends as i was gonna say it's just like you know it's like she left but she's going back in because she's like oh man i forgot i forgot some papers i gotta go in sorry i'll leave right after this let me just go back and get this one last thing the door is yeah the door is not open yet so it could just be her sadly like lingering like loitering outside of it right before the security comes through.

No, I was here earlier, actually. You can actually pull it, too. Security comes through. I think you should leave the sketch. What are you doing here? Labor leader Keir Starmer remarked the book is... Windmill. What's that? It's just windmilling on her. Yes. So this is one of the great things about UK politics.

I don't think this is an original line. I think he stole it from a magazine blurb. But the fact that they value wit is pretty funny. So this labor leader said, the book is going to be... Oh, you have the audio? I got it. Just because you like a parliamentary smackdown, like coming at coming for the necks of people in Parliament.

That's great. A book is being written about the prime minister's time in office. Apparently, it's going to be out by Christmas. Is that the release date or the title? And then he just sits down. Yeah. It reminds me that you or the title and then he just sits down yeah it reminds me that youtube or the title remember that youtube those youtube videos where the dudes are battling like but they're like the most low energy freestyle battle and they're like oh like that's kirsten armory's like hold that and then

she gets up right after i believe i have been in office for just under two months and I have delivered the energy price guarantee. And I think she goes on to say, I am a fighter, not a quitter. It was like the whole, yeah. So, yeah, real, real real quick open and close but so are they gonna alter the book or like maybe change the title a little they fixed it guys they fixed oh really they're adding a final chapter heading called into the red and changing the subtitle of the book from The Inside Story of Liz Trust and Her Astonishing Rise to Power to The Inside Story of Liz Trust

and Her Explosive Rise to Power. Oh, okay. Because I guess you can be consumed in the explosion itself. Yes. I think that's what they're trying. That word is doing a lot of work for them. No, we said explosive. West Coast shit.

Should we do implosive? Does that make sense? Right, right. Yeah. I saw the article passing through the news earlier that there was an iceberg head of lettuce that lasted longer than the 45 days. Oh, yeah. And it was like a bet going on between people. And sure enough, iceberg lettuce lasted longer than her reign as PM. Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that was something somebody was doing right off the bat.

They were taking a picture, had a live feed of an iceberg head of lettuce, and they were like, will this head of lettuce survive longer than Liz Truss? And it did. Someone won some big bucks. Yeah. The book might end up being pulped, which makes sense since it's already like gone to press. But there's also a chance that it will become a collector's item, which is this has happened before. Back in 1992, a guy wrote a biography of Ross Perot, expecting him to run for president. And then when Perot dropped out, the Washington Post called the author's work an exercise in futility. The guy depressingly claimed that after leaving his job at People magazine to write the book, fate has not been kind. I have nothing but regrets. That's so dark. That's such a dark.

I thought, you know, as I'm reading it, I see that this sentence ends with regrets. I'm like, he's going to be like, but I have no regrets. You know, you live and you learn. Coming through with I have nothing but regrets is pretty, very honest. A Charles Barkley-esque vulnerability. I was going to say, yeah, that's some that's some chuck level uh vulnerability yeah yeah i do i feel bad for him i genuinely feel bad for him then he came back into the race and the post was like oh shit so uh it ended up being okay for that person but that then there was the guy who wrote a biography of George W. Bush in 1999,

the year before the election, claiming that Bush had been arrested for cocaine possession. That was recalled because the publisher claimed that they no longer trusted the author, calling the book Furnace Fodder, and revealed that the author was a paroled felon who had been convicted of hiring a hitman in an unsuccessful attempt to murder his boss using a car bomb. So they let him get that far with a book. They did to the point that it was printed and it is now like a really great collector's item. Wow. Oh,

it was a big buying frenzy for the book before it was shipped back to the publisher. It's just also kind of like even though it's like funny party is like man like american politics don't move in the same way like if they fuck up and was like yo get the fuck out of here right people are like yeah all right asshole you got six years of this shit you know what i mean you're like oh fuck uh whereas this one's like damn at a certain point like you know her own base turns on her and everything and they're like they're out you go yeah yeah where it's you're kind of like man like over here like we're like legalizing like ignoring everything uh you know like and it doesn't matter what the fuck you do so in that way i'm like partly like looking out the window like wow

is there any chance just adding sick burns to our political process would would like make the difference that like she that guy saying out by December out by Christmas? Is that a description from the publisher or the title? Sit down. She was just like, well, shit, I can't come back from that. Like that's that's just what led to the resignation. Because, yeah, it takes a lot. It takes a yeah, it takes a lot for an American president to. I mean, if we if like dunking on like political stupidity was a mechanism for political change, black Twitter would have had like regime changes fucking in hyperactive mode already. Like we just but again, the political system is just set up where it's like yeah i don't know they're noisy over there those are actual human beings that are suffering they're noisy anyway so what were you saying about vladimir putin he's pretty cool okay if we can just get federman into office i i feel like there will be a better dunking culture because he he was apparently like doing all the social media work for his campaign, like as a recovery.

Like he he was doing that because he couldn't really communicate that well out loud at that stage. So that was him like the whole time, because we were like, man, whoever they hired for their social media intern is absolutely killing it. For the chronically online voter. Be like, just so you know, these clapbacks were all from the candidate. Yeah, right. I think that gives it way more clout. Yeah, he just signed it. Put it out directly.

How's he doing, by the way? I feel like it's been tough he put out a because of all the speculation or like the media's like insistence or over over scrutinizing like well he had a stroke i don't know what that means uh this other guy talks about drinking his pee but this guy also had a stroke and needs to use like devices to help himself because we don't like anybody who is differently abled in this country like really focused on that to the point that his yesterday or the day before he released a letter like from his physician being like, y'all are tripping. He is fine. Like he is making a recovery. Like, yes, he is still recovering in these instances,

but he is on his way. And there's nothing I would say that says this person should not be running for office or cannot hold office, which is an interesting state of things but yeah both sides man this is why i never trusted stephen hawking on physics i just you know right anybody who just even mumbles a little bit like can't can't trust it you know yeah that's well you've been america brained yeah as a bald man it's hard for me to get trusted at all anyway right yeah well even if i don't if our politics don't change i at least would like rap battles now like you know rap ballers to have a chair that they bring with them so like they finish a verse yeah someone like pushes in a chair and they just sit arms yeah yeah it is important that someone pushes the chair in behind them that they

have like a hype man who just drop puts it pushes it up because otherwise you do the like feeling behind you because you don't want to break that contact you know no no right right like you should be like yeah or even like a pew you know i'm saying they push a friend towards you oh wow you sit down and then people to the left and to the right of you join you like right right that was dope i i think there is something to yeah i would watch a rap battle but like you build a set like it's parliament and then both crews are on both sides but wearing suits and like oh yeah but you do just but the same sense of decorum slightly like okay okay keep it down keep it let them let their rebuttal come now right right uh you know english zeitgang brit zeitgang is if there's like an and one mixtape of, like, parliamentary owns that you can direct me towards,

you're like, you gotta watch fucking, man. When fucking Tony Blair got his fucking just whole shit rearranged. Like, let me know. Like, I want to see clips like that because I love the art. I love the art. And I'm in it for, good celebrations too if like there's one where someone says something and then like the five people behind him just sprint out of the chamber like just like you know going oh yes yes

recreate the holding your face meme walking into the camera that's what it feels like yeah you just cut to shaquille o'neal with that early 2000s uh you know camcorder like he's at a dunk contest yeah like the vince carter dunk contest oh my god i still remember where i was and still everybody in my like around me was reacting in that same exact way yeah oh yeah i ran out yeah i ran i was running out of the room i was in into the hallway and everybody i was in my dorm my freshman year and everybody in our dorm was doing the exact same thing. So after every Vids Carter the hallway would just get so crowded with people just being like, oh my god!

It's just I think I have to quit school. My friend spiked a bottle of water on the ground. Yeah. And his parents were at home were like, yo, clean it up. Yeah. That is an appropriate response to that

burn and i feel like the internet would be cool if democrats just started like stealing burns from magazine blurbs or no let's not do that don't it's already fucked up watching them try and be cool right just fucking focus on policy fucking please please. Try. Fucking anybody. Fuck it. If you can get some real fucking policy, do all the dumb shit you want. But get the fucking policy right. Please. Well, Mark, Bill, truly a pleasure having you on the show.

Where can people find you, follow you, hear you, all that good stuff? Absolutely. Well, if you want to listen to us, Ridiculous News, our podcast, we'd love it if you gave that a listen. That'd be awesome. We also have a production company, Cool Cool Cool Productions. You can check that out at coolcoolcoolpro.com. And we make comedy videos together we're super proud of. So you can check those out at Mark Kendall Comedy. Nice. And is there a tweet that you guys have been enjoying? You can each share one. You don't have to have been enjoying it together. Like, synchronized. Yeah, there's one that was making fun of the craziness of the markets. I sent it to Mark earlier, and I don't know if y'all have seen this. I wonder if I can throw it in the chat.

Yeah, throw it in the chat. It just blows us. Let's see. Where's the chat? It blows my mind. And I've sent this to so many people. I don't know if y'all have seen this or not, but check it out. This is 2022 year in the markets review.

And it's somebody who's just been in a terrible MMA fight. How are you feeling? Girl, that was a crazy fight. Bare knuckle. I'm super excited. It was really tough. It was fun. I enjoyed it. It was definitely a different ballgame.

Okay, so... This person is a living embodiment of monster makeup on their face. It's called Bare Knuckle Brawl. It's like, what if MMA, but they didn't even have the really like barely gloves on bare knuckle that shit is so i'm telling we're like fucking three years away from knives

and shit yeah she didn't have chain mail either and she's so beat up and and but so positive about it it's so just like having the like clearly, genuinely, authentically being like this was the best time ever, y'all. Just got into investing this year. Yeah. It's the attitude I want to bring into my life after anything crazy happens to me. It's like I want to channel that woman. Right. The positivity every time.

But it is such a great metaphor. It's a great companion piece to the everything is fine sitting in a flaming uh a room that's burning down yeah that's that's a new uh a video version of that how about you mark yeah yeah so uh one of our favorite comedians from atlanta but now on the west coast with y'all uh blair erskine i love her twitter feed her twitter is so hilarious and not too long ago she put out a uh a video of a character that was a mom getting flipping out over the Hocus Pocus 2 movie. And it's just kind of like a great bit of hers. Yeah, we were just talking about that because our other guest, Ever Maynard, knows that woman.

Yeah. From the Hocus Pocus thing. But let's just hear from her. No, knows the actual woman. Oh, knows the actual Hocus Pocus person from the Texas news story. Yeah, yeah story yeah yeah yeah hey y'all this is a message for all my mommas out there all my mama bears um i'm gonna try not to get emotional uh on tuesday i was in the kitchen frying up some cheese for dinner and i left my kids in the living room my eight-year-old rebecca and my four-year-old vanilla bellini and they're watching me i'm frying up the cheese all of a sudden i hear them screaming

mama mama there's a witch in the house there's a witch in the house and if you're a mama bear like me you know that's that's your worst fear like those six words there's a witch in the house there's nothing scarier than that and so i grabbed my frying pan i ran into the living room as fast as i could sure enough there's a witch on my tv talking about blending up my kids turning them upside down eating them with a spoon like they're a Dairy Queen. Okay? And it was really scary.

And I don't know how this got on my TV because we only let them watch family-friendly movies like the videos of them being born or Ratatouille without the sex scenes. Okay. Jeez. That's so good. Your birthday is Ratatouille without the sex scenes. it's very very well done like the acting is yeah perfect perfect miles where can people find you

The Mad Boosties, you can hear me at the happiest I was about this NBA season in our most recent episode

because the Sixers hadn't played yet. And then they got creamed by the Celtics and it all came crashing back. Although some of the things that I was excited about, like Zion is looking awesome. So yeah, it's a fun podcast where you get to hear dumb-dumbs very excited about the NBA. Dumb-dumb, I'll just say. I'm an idiot.

Yeah, little dummies. Little dummies. And like I said, the Lakers, they like to lose to try and, you know, okie-doke the other teams in the league to be like, oh, they're soft. And then, boom, we hit you with a couple wins and win maybe five out of – anyway. Let's see what tweets that I like. First one is from at Stroka underscore uh tweeted me as a lawyer now why the

fuck would my client do that just like that energy uh and then another one it which is written by hannah at written by hannah tweeted i think therapists should be able to look their clients directly in the eye at least once to say girl be fucking for real uh you know sometimes it's hard to fully open up in therapy but i feel it would help if there was like i'm not buying this shit right now right be fucking for real but obviously that's probably not the best way to get someone to open up who is already having trouble open up but i did feel. And the last one is from, this one was going up all over the place. From Gracie Perryman at QRRACIE tweeted, received this at my grandma's funeral. What an icon.

And it's a card with her grandmother flicking off the camera going, and it says, let's keep in touch. And on the bottom is like a built-in mini Ouija board. Oh, what a board. Oh, what a, that's a flex. Oh, let me just show you this. I'm sorry.
