So this is a legit violent coup attempt that we're witnessing. I think it's wild. I mean, even watching the news,

the people on the news are having trouble calling it what it is. These people are trying to rush the Capitol to overturn the election. Even if they don't know how to do it, that's what they're there to do. And that's very unsettling. Yeah, it's dumb storming of the Bastille without any sort of strategy or idea of what they actually want. Well, Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious, the vanessa guerrero hey thanks for having me thank you for being here uh yeah what what uh what's new with you

um that's such a weird question whenever there's just like a coup and a pandemic happening i know or i'm just like what's new in my life that's new the coup we stopped we stopped asking people how are you doing because that's not a fair question nobody's doing great uh so now we ask what's new with you or i love it and uh yeah well you have a your last name is new so my last name is new i went back to my maiden name it's guerrero and so much more dope than what I've been working with for the last few years. I had my ex-husband's name because it was just inconvenient to change my name.

But at this point, I'm just going back to Guerrero. But yeah, I got married, so that's dope. That is dope. Went from zero cats to three cats since we last spoke. What? Congratulations. Congratulations. I don't know which deserves more congratulations. What from zero cats to three cats since we last spoke? What? Okay. I don't know which deserves more congratulations.

Yeah. Cat mama. I mean, I'm going to say the cats. Yeah, obviously. That's awesome. All right. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners what we're talking about.

Yeah, we're going to talk about Georgia. That was some good shit a couple nights ago happening down there in georgia it looks like uh the democrats will be controlling the senate uh or you know it's gonna be a 50 50 split with kamala harris uh you know breaking breaking the tie tie break uh. Tie breaking. We're going to talk about the Save America rally that happened as the Senate and House tried to confirm the electoral vote. Trump's Trump jazz, Donald Trump Jr.'s, Donald Trump Jr. jazz, new metal.

I don't know what you call what the fuck he does. We're going gonna talk about uh and then it all just broke out into absolute anarchy we'll talk about that we'll talk about like i always like to check the front page of fox news when reality comes through and smashes them and their delusional faces uh and there was uh you know a bunch of shit about georgia being a disaster for republicans uh but at the very top of the right rail was a stand-up comedy routine um from a guy named michael loftus who i've never heard of uh who's not jamie loftus's father not jamie loftus's father but uh yeah i just want to take y'all through the experience of watching a few minutes

of that uh we're gonna do a kardashian roundup it's been too long too long yeah uh we're gonna talk about pizza hut stuffed crust pizza uh all of that plenty more but first vanessa we like to ask our guest what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Uh, something from my search history that's revealing about who I am was this week. Uh, and it was, what is a, what is a 401k?

Uh, cause I've pretended to know what that is for years now. Anytime it's been offered to me at a job or I've been told that it's something that's important, I nodded. And I've actually had zero idea what it is this entire time. And it's not that, like, it's not that uncommon for me to feel like I missed out on, like, an important piece of life information and then just kind of, like, fake it until I'm, like, forced to learn what it is. I did that with tying my shoes until I was, like, eight. I'm forced to learn what it is.

I did that with tying my shoes until I was like eight. I told everybody I knew how to tie my shoes and then I just wore slip-ons until I was eight and a girl on the playground finally showed me and as an adult I've done the same thing with like 401Ks, the word caucus because I still wasn't entirely sure for

a couple years on what that was. So like once a month I'll look something up that I feel like I should know. And try and like educate myself on that. So I don't feel like a moron when a job's like, oh, we're giving you a 401k. And I'm like, I don't know why that's good. You're like sick, sick, sick. But I do appreciate it.

Thank you, thank you very much. That was my first demand. And my second demand is explain to me what that means. Let me know what the other letters do. Is a Roth IRA similar to the NRA at all? How does that? I mean, it's true. I don't think I've really gotten my shit together in terms of financial literacy until my 30s.

I don't think I've really gotten my shit together in terms of financial literacy until my thirties. Like, cause I think also because my twenties was spent not making money at all. Yeah. You know, you, at this, for me coming out of college and like,

Oh shit, there's really not like jobs that even offer a 401k. So by the time I was getting offered, I was like, Oh yeah, yeah, for sure. I'm going to get,

let me get three of them then. That's part of the negotiation. Yeah, right. Like, at this point now, I think my next thing that I'm going to look up that I pretend to know what it is and I don't actually know is escrow. Don't know what being an escrow means. Or if you are an escrow or if you're in escrow, not a clue. Escrow, let's go. That's what I say.

Take a few for the road. scroll let's go that's what i say take a few for the road i do i always uh find out their words that i've been using wrong i i wonder if i'm like like what the breakdown is percentage wise in terms of words that i actually know the meaning of and words that i'm just kind of situationally uh using vaguely correctly enough to get away with it. Because I. Yeah. Because that's one of those things like when you're buying a house, you're like, right, because then you pay them the money for the house and you don't want. I remember being like, yeah, yeah, escrow for sure.

And then when you start talking about like home buying and they're like, oh, it's just, you know, escrow is really stressful. I'm like, what the fuck is y'all talking about but then when you realize like they just hold on to that money so no bullshit goes down as like a third party in between the people uh transacting so right right yeah yeah yeah totally wow so if you're buying the house if you're buying the house you give the money to the escrow agent, right? They hold that money. And then they distribute those funds to the seller. So that way, it's not just you giving the seller, oh, yeah, I got that check for you.

I got that check for you. That way, you know, you can trust that the money's there. We're good for it. Yeah. And that's my very crude description of it. And real estate, banking, Zygang, please feel free to sound off. Help me. Help me me i'm hopeless i do feel like a lot of banking is like gatekeeping where they are just using financial terms like it's just a lot

of like glossary shit like that i'm sure they could come up with better more intuitive descriptions of but by calling it a number and then random series of letters it uh makes it creates jobs right it creates jobs for uh you know white collar people and that's uh important to america yeah well yeah because then you call right you're you like you do taxes someone's like oh you didn't fill out a schedule c i? I'm like, the what? They're like, yeah, you should probably hire me to do your taxes. Mm-hmm.

Yeah. What is something you think is underrated, Vanessa? Underrated? My new favorite treat in quarantine I think is highly underrated, and every time I pitch it to someone, they think it sounds disgusting.

But that is when you put the water in with your spicy ramen, putting one single slice of American cheese in there. It has to be American. It doesn't work with any other cheese. Yeah. but that is when you put the water in with your spicy ramen putting one single slice of american cheese in there uh it has to be american it doesn't work with any other cheese it has to be something real process that'll like disintegrate into nothing and like when somebody told about this i thought it sounded disgusting um i it sounded like an awful awful pitch and then there's one day where i was just like just stoned enough to where it sounded delicious um so i put like a slice or two like at the bottom of the bowl threw the ramen in

mixed it up incredible i feel like i've been robbed of years of not having uh better instant ramen at home because it first of all the whole thing just smells like spicy mac and cheese after a certain point and it almost gets like a tonkatsu broth texture since it's like a fat based that just disintegrates into the bowl instead of like a stringy cheese i now always have american cheese at home for it deeply underrated put one slice of american cheese in your ramen wow i'm i don't know what it's like one of those things i heard at first. I'm like, this is anathema to me. I don't know what this person is saying. But as you kept going, I began to see the light. And now what kind, you're just using like what kind of ramen?

Just Kraft. Top Rizzi? Top Rizzi? Well, I either do like fancy. Like Shin Ramen. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. So you get the like the the korean instant ramen jump off it's like the spicy ones oh got it and then oh wow wow wow okay because then you have that bouncy noodle yeah and then the creamy broth told you about that now it's like uh so it was one of those like youtube daisy chains where i saw it watching because i've been watching a lot of youtube people just eat food and cook things lately because it's my version of going outside

or having friends right now. It was on the Emmy-made channel and she saw it from Roy Choi. I guess he does butter. The OG Korean LA stoner. I give it up to him. Roy Choi, his whole shit is like, I'm high and I love food and yes, I'm going to give y'all some shit you didn't even think of yet exactly and that

was one of those where like i realized i had almost everything in the kitchen i ran around the corner to the liquor store and like picked up a thing of american cheese uh and it just became my like new favorite just had an edible treat it It's fantastic. Can't I recommend it enough? I'm loving it. American cheese is just generally, I feel like, underrated. I went through a phase where I was into better cheeses, cheeses that come in the cheese case section of the grocery store. Right, right, right.

And now I'm coming back around on American. It's like it is American, right? It's the most American thing. It's very processed. Yeah. It is not a- It is not real. Not a form of matter that should exist.

The fact that it turns into a liquid at 80 degrees degrees it's just like it immediately goes liquid is unnatural but it's a i don't know i'm glad it exists uh yeah i've been so mean to it for so long but like honestly it does the job it's supposed to do exactly yeah people used to complain that there wasn't real milk in it. I'm good with that. I'm not eating it for the... I have the time just for the texture. I just need goo on my sandwich or my burger or whatever. Grilled cheese. It's just goo.

It's just the texture. It's shelf-stable-ish glue. It's the official cheese of the apocalypse. You can have it for the entire time, and it goes on everything. Just a nice room temp Coca-Cola classic and handfuls of American cheese. That's what's going to still be around in 100 years. What is something you think is overrated? Oh, God.

I've had two of these, so I can finally compare and contrast. If you had an enjoyable one, hell yeah. But I'm going to say, for the most part, weddings are real overrated. I've had two. The first one, the one that didn't work out, was the one that I put all the time into planning, that I like put all the time into planning, invited all the people, did the gift registry,

like had the dress and the tuxedo and just did the whole thing. And the entire time, other than like, you know, the first wedding being like, I don't want to actually be here. It was also just like stressful, not fun. And like, I felt like it was made for other people to enjoy it way more than the actual people that were getting married um and then when i got married this year i got

married on halloween it was just me and my husband we wore halloween costumes uh we invited no one we had uh champagne and wedding cake in. We just ate it with our hands and it was exactly what I needed it to be. Because it was just like, I'm ready for the after stuff. I don't want to like sit there and figure out who do I like enough to invite to a wedding

and then deal with the fallout of like who doesn't come. And also we're in a pandemic so there shouldn't like be big weddings. But even then, I feel like I'd rather just throw a big-ass party than go through the entire process of having like a wedding and and that whole ceremony and i realized i also had a lot of anxiety about the idea of like being the bride

and being the one that has to like walk down the aisle and all the weird ceremony of it and all the people staring at me and like the the the dad handing me off because i i go from belonging to one person to another and that just that just didn't vibe with me so i'm gonna say weddings are overrated yeah i feel like a lot of people that's like been the one sort of traditional thing a lot of people have been to like rethink especially in the pandemic of like what does it mean what like what's important about it is it for us is it for other people because yeah like i find myself thinking the same way like does it do you want to have the wild party where it feels like everything you know you've been told a wedding is or do you kind of just distill it down to like yo what's the vibe i want because a fun wedding to me really isn't about dressing up a certain way it's that like your people are together and you're having a good fucking time uh maybe that'll

be the byproduct of it all what what uh costumes what were you for your wedding uh i just went for like generic devil because i had a red dress that i really wanted to wear so i like got some horns that i like put into a veil and like some pitchfork earrings and stuff like that. And I had a pitchfork bouquet that I was going to use, but I ended up snapping it in half because I was playing with it too much. That's awesome. I had it for like a week. That would have been dope to throw.

You should keep that and throw it. Just spear it at the courthouse. All right. Who wants to get married next with only one eye oh although fun fact about my husband's wedding outfit um so he was a dracula but like i put mine together from stuff i had in like halloween costume shops uh my husband used to be a professional boxer in thailand and while he was there, he met, like, a dude that makes, like, suits and stuff. So he sent him his sizes to get, like, a Dracula suit made for him with, like, a cape and everything.

Oh, shit. And his designer in Thailand is, like, this older Sikh Indian man who doesn't really get, like, a lot of cultural references. So he, like, sends my husband a message, and he's like, my friend, I found this beautiful fabric that has, it's gold, and it has all these bats on it, and I put it in the lining of your suit. You're going to love it.

And then a few days later, he responds. He goes, my friend, I'm sorry. I've made a mistake. It turns out that those bats are a logo from a character called Batman. Batman? bats are a logo from a character called Batman. My husband just had secret Batman

lighting on the inside of his suit. Batman, everyone's favorite Dracula. What is Batman's relationship to Draculas and vampires? It seems like they would at least know each other they gotta be like cousins right right um oh my god all right let's get into uh what went

down in georgia two nights ago tuesday night you know it was it was a similar rhythm to the presidential election in that like the results looked very positive for republicans if you were just looking at you know they were up by a couple percentage points when i first tuned in and then just slowly by slowly you know the cornacky of it all they were like yeah actually the democrats look like they're gonna win which you'd think i don't know like are they doing that on purpose are the republicans doing that on purpose so that it looks like they're so that it amps up the feeling of outrage among the republican base or what why are we hitting this same rhythm

every time because well because the motherfucker's been saying the mail-in ballots are a fraud and a joke so when those are the last votes left to count they're all ending up being massively democratic leaning right so then it's like yeah all you motherfuckers have voted on tuesday sure but then we got all these other ones that y'all really don't fuck with and that is all like it's just that shift that occurs and it was the same yes people on twitter especially right-wing twitter like it's happening again they're counting the mail-in ballots that are for the democrat because they were more energized in this yeah yeah i hate to see but yeah it was uh it was really something i mean this is you know the sweeping the senate runoff was like a huge thing that needed to happen

for you know joe biden to have a somewhat easy time legislatively like getting nominees through and other bills and things like that um you know mcconnell will now be minority leader if he's if they if he still keeps his leader position um and but i think is what's you know the punditry of it all is the same shit again but ramped up even more you know like they have to go wow they really pulled that off knowing everybody knows it's the activists and organizers on the fucking ground in georgia that turned these motherfucking votes out stacy abrams everybody everybody involved tremendous shout out to these people who actually have been

ignoring the quote-unquote conventional wisdom that said georgia is unflippable and they're like no georgia is just rat fucked to hell and people can't vote properly and we just need to get we just need to unclog that and watch what happens and that's what we're seeing happening so now i think the conversation is did democrats beat republicans or did trump fuck his own party who really won this right answer is yes to all of it just a sweeping yes like it it's it's one of those things i've been thinking a lot about when it comes to just like organizer movements and how everybody looks at it like it's this huge mythical thing where it's like how does you know how does that even happen how does the that even work and it's always by the people that like don't have faith and don't put money into digital campaigns uh put the idea of like appeasing you know reaching across the

aisle versus just like hey what do what do the actual like people on the ground want what do the actual like what did the actual people involved desire to see and every time it happens they act like some magical spell occurred when it's just focus on where your audiences are actually hear what they want to say ta-da the the work went into it actually did something be humane give people support and they will love it because that's the whole fucking rub of it all is people are just like dying quite literally from a lack of support from the government and yeah i think uh god i mean you'd hope that joe biden can look at this and say this is you know activists and the progressive wing have been make are gonna make this thing easier for you

you need to actually begin to see that as a mandate of of people saying uh we need you to go all gas and no brakes on changing shit up and making shit equitable stop this other well no no no like the people are speaking yeah the incrementalism is just violence uh in slow-mo and i think we really need you know to you'd hope that this message gets across that this is something that has to be recognized or you're going to do the same thing like with obamacare when he was the vice president you took a thing that really would have helped people and then made it a republican version of it and then look what happened people were like the whole point was we needed medical care and then you gave us a half-assed version of it. And then look what happened. People were like, the whole point was we needed medical care. And then you gave us a half-assed version of it. Just go full mode on it.

And people were like, thank you. You heard me. Thank you so much. Written by the insurance, by insurance executives that wrote the Obamacare legislation was in former and current insurance company executives. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come back and keep talking about this. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.

And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday.

This show is la plática like

you've never heard it before. We're breaking the stigma and silence around sex and sexuality in Latinx communities. This podcast is an intergenerational conversation between Latinas from Gen X to Gen Z. We're covering everything from body image to representation in film and television. We even interview iconic Latinas like Puerto Rican actress Ana Ortiz. I felt in control of my own physical body and my own self. I was on birth control. I had sort of had my first sexual experience. If you're in your señora era or know someone who is, then this is the show for you.

We're your hosts, Diosa and Mala, and you might recognize us from our flagship podcast, Locatora Radio. We're so excited for you to hear our brand new podcast senora sex ed listen to senora sex ed on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast and we're back uh miles you were saying you were watching msnbc and they had claire mccaskill on she's always on the former senator wonderful wonderful establishment piece of trash uh you know because again this whole thing right the people of georgia when they looked at exit polls it was very clear that the people of georgia are like we want fucking help we need financially. We are being completely upended by this pandemic and the lack of support. And so, you know, this is a big thing that acknowledging the people, right?

And that's what Joe Biden was saying. He was dangling $2,000 checks in front of people like, hey, you give me you give me Georgia and this money will come flowing real quick. And, you know, so you think, OK, wow, this seems like maybe we can, again, right before break, we're saying give a little more energy to the progressive wing, but Claire McCaskill, just off top, the first thing she has to say when they talk about, wow, what a win in Georgia. She's like, you can't say enough about obviously the women of color, about obviously the women of color black women uh stacy abrams all of the black people of georgia the blacks and people like just going yeah we have to thank them but but and this is when i was like

where the fuck is this going she's like trump also did this to himself it's like oh get fucked you absolute fart mummy like what are you talking about like don't fucking kneecap the contributions of these people to do unprecedented shit yes donald trump is also unprecedented but to put the energy that was put into this and to go along and be like yeah but trump also fucked himself as if to basically say let's not give that too much momentum let's not give this narrative that there are people who understand how people are like actually interacting with voting and like the political process um and it's bad news for the establishment let's not give that too much momentum let's just keep it trump trump trump right if you accept that you know other

southern states other states that are traditionally viewed as red states are, are actually just, you know, suppressed, uh, purple or blue states, then you really get momentum. You can really start, uh, affecting change. And, you know, we've seen frequently that with establishment Democrats like Claire McCaskillill that seems to be something they fear just as much as a you know republican majority if not more because with a republican majority they at least get to keep the status quo where they're yeah in power and they perform their yeah they perform their roles um oh yeah not the younger angrier like more aware of what the actual situation is crop of politicians who are just going to straight talk shit and they're like oh god this is a little too heavy

and the other thing i want to say is claire mccaskill went on to say that the most powerful people in congress going forward in this biden administration are going to be the ones that reach across the eye eat a whole bag of shit, Claire. Come on now. These people are in an active campaign to kill us and you still want to patronize us with this, oh, you know, let's try and work with the murderers for progress take. No, absolutely not.

We saw what happened. We've seen their agenda. It's antithetical to the to what the people voted for i feel like every time i hear like let's take a look across the aisle like it it always comes from someone that's like oh like you know i want equality and i want progress but the thing is they want it in equal to the oppressive party like they they they don't want it for everyone they want it in in they want it for them with the current they want to be equal to the oppressor they want to be equal to the oppressor they don't it's it's reaching across the aisle is but let me have

some of this but fuck everyone else and every time i hear it it's it's just that buzzword for that kind of person right right. Right. Yeah. Well, because I think if you share some of that, share some of that power. But even what it says is reach across the aisle means keep this shit in place. Yeah. Keep the seat of, you know, let white supremacy still have its seat at the table. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's ensure that we reach across that fucked up aisle because that there really is no aisle a lot of the time it's just that like look at the end of the day it's

really going to be rich people versus working poor people that's really what it's set up but we're still kind of like well what's what color is it going to be um this whole concept of it is just like it's just it i think it it's really disingenuous and it's an insult to the actual people who are like devoting out countless hours of their lives to right the wrongs of voter suppression and things like that to ensure good outcomes for people to then say like let's now water down the progress and when you look across the aisle at what is happening on the other side of the aisle the people who they're supposedly want to reach across to, they are, you know, the next morning, yesterday morning, they were full mask off white supremacy, declaring war on the institutions that Democrats and, you know, that the mainstream is supposedly uh so fond of they were just full-on you know donald trump donald trump jr uh in addition to you know reprising their it it's funny how like

they're doing these like weird stand-up routines about like their grievance, white fragility politics, at the same time that they're actually asking people to declare war on the country. But that's what's happening. And Ted Cruz and people who are actual senators who Claire McCaskill is talking about reaching across to are actively, whether they'll say it or not, that's what they're actively standing up for uh in on the floor of uh the senate yeah and that whole rally

you know um that was going on in dc the president let you know he the sitting fucking president kicked off this shit from his rally you know he was letting people know we need to go we need to pull up y'all um and they did i just want to play this one part of the rally where he's quite literally being like we're going to walk down pennsylvania avenue you we're going to walk down pennsylvania avenue i love pennsylvania avenue and we're going to the Capitol and we're going to try and give the Democrats are hopeless. They're never voting for anything, not even one vote. But we're going to try and give our Republicans the weak ones because the strong ones don't need any of our help. We're going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.

So cut to thousands of people storming the United States Capitol building. And we have fascists trying to enter the building to interrupt the electoral vote counting process in the hopes of overturning the will of the voters uh who had voted for joe biden that is that's that was the scene that followed this rally and as we're recording it is still turnt the fuck up at the capitol building i i just saw a clip of a woman bleeding like on a gurney being rushed out of the cap building. Like it's not, it's not, it's, you know, we, this is a thing like we were saying before, this has been a constant just simmer that this shit has been on. And now that we're getting closer and closer to payday, basically being like, you know, whether it's the QAnon thinking Trump's going to drop some weird receipts on like the great

awakening or whatever the fuck, or somehow he's going to be president when that doesn't happen what that reckoning is going to look like we're seeing the beginnings of that which is like oh shit he lost okay so we need to pull up to the capitol building and put everyone at risk i mean not just themselves the people that work in the capitol the fucking people who live around capitol hill it's not just you know the angry people versus inanimate object it's it's become a full-on uh violent attempt to to who knows what i don't even know what what they could do substantively aside from just destroy everything and cause you know violence yeah yeah no white supremacy is like i mean they will say this in like reports but it'll never get to the like front the headlines of the mainstream media but white supremacy is the

biggest national security threat america faces uh going forward and it's whether it's in the form yeah well since the beginning yeah but like absolute absolutely like in the traditional like ways that the mainstream media has always uh you know honored uh like bombings uh blowing up downtown nashville whether it's in the form of conspiracy theories or just outright you know proud boy shit or you know pro-trump trying to overthrow the votes of people of color or parts of states that where people of color are more predominant like that is they are committing violence in the name of those things and it's yeah i don't i like it can't be overstated like that is what's going on that needs to be a focus going forward like it just needs to flip fully that that is that's where we're at

i don't even know you know what what are they going to do next i don't know what what you know i mean we're gonna just see this evolve but yeah where do we go from here it's you look at people storming the capitol building and you're like well at least they're not like blowing it up or whatever but like as soon as you go through that you're like what am i saying because first of all i just spent the summer watching cops pull up in motherfucking apcs and tanks and all kinds of military hardware because people were upset. They're shooting people of color with impunity, you know, that people are peacefully protesting against white supremacy. That's then, OK, we'll bring in the fucking tools.

White people are straight up fucking up the Capitol. And I'm like, oh, my. Wow. This is this is exactly what we're seeing that privilege extend to the point where they're like they're allowed whatever it is allowing or an underestimating or whatever has happened here um i think it's just america showing her her face again too like we're seeing it in so many different ways there's just not that urgency that there would be if it was any other cause that was uh you know any other hate group any other form of uh extremism that was being enacted in the capital now there is this weird undercurrent that i wanted to call out because

uh just in watching donald trump jr's speech and watching Trump's speech, you know, you played a clip where he's talking about basically storming the Bastille, like going down. We're going to take the power of the country into our own hands, make them basically physically threaten them with violence into doing, uh, you know, into overturning a democratic election. But there's also this undercurrent where they're doing like bad standup comedy. And I, it's strange because, you know, we talked about it yesterday with,

uh, Donald Trump jr. Uh, doing his thing about a woman, a women. Uh, he did that again at this rally he did he did that same entire joke yes and said bullshit and he didn't do the woman you he moved on to uh saying you know they just did a study keeps pointing to his head and like doing this like weird gesture he has like a doy you guys seen this uh you guys seen this they they just did a study the trans women in sports have an

advantage over other women no shit that was this thing and then fox news had to cut away because he was being too real man and then it first of all it should be noted karen uh leffler uh put her energy i that's what that's just the nickname the president has for her you know uh put her energy like somebody pointed out on twitter they're like all the all she did while she was in office was like put forth these like bills that were basically identity politics like culture war grievance bullshit that like didn't even get to the floor they were just just eating shit uh and yeah like and she and she ate shit in the first time she faced actual electors uh but also like the president only has one gear and so while like before and after he's telling people to enact violence and overthrow the

US government, he's also talking about how Hillary must be so mad they didn't steal the election for her. And he just has this weird... Again, it sounds like a bad stand-up routine. And then when I went over to Fox News, they had a dude just like a bad stand-up routine and then when i went over to fox news they had a dude just straight up doing stand-up on the front page like at the top of the at the top of the front page of fox news as the capitol building is being stormed as uh the senate was evacuated yeah the senate's being evacuated there are shots being there's photos

of the secret service with their glocks like pointed out of the chamber yeah and it looks like they were busting their gut like the windows are broken this shit is on i don't even like because right now it's happening in real time so i couldn't tell you what is actually like what when the dust settles what's actually going to happen but it is severe at the moment um and i can't and and even like after this apparently the president tweeted later on he's like oh um uh please just uh please uh you know respect the capitol police and be peaceful it's like you just oh my like this is you just told them to go march to the capitol to you know take back our country what the fuck did they think was

gonna happen um but again this was always gonna happen and yeah and meanwhile while that's happening fox is like enjoy this shit stand up yeah but i i just think i think it's i think that's they are recognizing something important that like the the most important part of trump is the fact that he did this like weird shitty riffing stand-up and they're trying to replace that with this dude michael loftus um i do i do we have should we is it too weird to listen to a clip from this dude because it's obviously very dark time but uh let me just he opens by doing uh well here let's just play at 149 how he opens this show also hilarious that this is like their version of the violins playing on the titanic right yeah exactly that's exactly right oh my god right uh there was also talks though at some of the rallies people were the celine dion's my heart will go on

was blaring at some of the events yeah i'm not even joking like that was in i think the new york times or something like noted that they're like even as celine dion's my heart will go on plays they still are anyway um here's michael loftus's stand-up opening we could get that that was fantastic i like it here i want to open up with a quick impression. This is Joe Biden on a Zoom call. Okay, thank you. This is... I know, I know. This is Joe Biden just in regular life.

Thank you, thank you. Just that wrote that backstage so that's that's his opener uh is basically when you're seven and somebody like a seven-year-old's making fun of you and is basically saying this is you a doyoyoyoyoy that that's his opener he goes on to he he talks about how there's a curfew in nashville uh which is a fair thing to uh argue against curfews are questionable and not fair to working people and just an excuse for police to arrest people in a lot of cases who are out after dark but instead he uses it as an opportunity to do a racist chinese accent personifying the coronavirus and then goes on a whole riff on how masks are stupid because they don't protect your eyes. Just like the perfect embodiment

of American self. If you only view it as this is protecting me and not protecting people around me from me, then his point could be seen as making sense but uh it's it's just is it that like because i think the sort of elegance if there is elegance to what trump is doing right is that he is sort of articulating the nihilism american people feel and just being like fuck it you know what i mean because he doesn't like his whole thing's like i don't respect this shit like look it was just dumb and that's what people like yeah man this shit is dumb because they can't quite connect the dots of like you know predatory

capitalism upending their lives and like how there's just no structures in place to support you so i don't know if that's what's just purely like this tactic of like let's just just call the thing dumb in as many ways as possible and like that has appeal because if we start getting all wonky or whatever then we can't appeal to the you know truly apathetic people who we want to bring on board and wonkiness is dumb like a lot of the like the way that people who are career politicians and the mainstream media talks is ridiculous and you know is a vestige from a previous period that like it's not clear why it exists uh and but they're like finding that little toehold of truth and then making it into just a chance for them to, you know, say, say things that make old white guys be like,

can he say that? Right. And yeah. And, and then confusing us just being like, yeah, no, he can say that we don't,

we don't have to like it and we can use what he says to draw conclusions about him and the people who like what he's saying. Uh, those are the consequences. Uh, but yeah, it's a, it's, they were not throwing, about him and the people who like what he's saying uh those are the consequences uh but yeah it's it's they we're not throwing i don't know it's it's very frustrating but it also it seems like i i think we're seeing that that's like a bigger part like the fact that i think when you're picturing the ultimate end point and like i i had said uh somebody pointed out that on my 2020

predictions on the our 2020 predictions episode i my prediction was that trump would lose and not accept the results of the election and that was just based on like paying attention to yeah watching what he was saying like listening to what he was saying, like listening to what he was saying and taking it seriously. But when we were all picturing that, that he wasn't going to do it, I don't think we were picturing him doing a 20 minute chunk on like how Hillary must be pissed that she didn't get like, you know,

it's not, we didn't picture him still doing Trump jazz, but like that is a big, silly part of what his appeal is to these people who are now going and putting their lives on the line. Right. So, yeah, that's just stupid, but also probably worth paying attention to. but also probably worth paying attention to. Yeah. And again,

for honestly watching the news, like the on cable, it's like so infuriating the way these people are talking about everything. Like they're Katie Turr on MSNBC is like having a panic attack because she's so shocked that this is happening. And it's're like have you are you do you know how these people are talking do you know what their media diet is do you know and this is this is wasn't a if it was a when question and for them again again this the fact that they were surprised and not even saying anything like that like to to or at least

indicating how surprised they are and how out of touch they are like shows you just how how much we're up against in terms of what information is coming out of tv screens and how people are ingesting that and their wherewithal or understanding of what is happening in the country right now it's really it's yeah it's something else yeah on top of them loving mitch mcconnell's speech i mean all of us for wild is all this violence at the capitol like we missed the part where mitch mcconnell tried to fucking scoot on out like with his dignity uh when they were counting the votes because the vote count had to be halted because of the violence but he truly tried he threw the president under the bus called

it conspiracy theories and found a backbone at the 11th hour and I'm like get the fuck out of here with this motherfucker you were the ringleader for the last forever forever and he's already being applauded yeah oh yeah like Anna Navarro just tweeted like oh it made me stand up and clap and I'm like how he's

he's saving his neck gills right exactly they think oh because he switched his turtle shell up to sympathetic and and sorry that we're gonna fucking forget all that come on now all right let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about the kardashians this summer the nation watched as the republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.

And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday.

And then Moose Boosh, if you will. Kylie is

selling hand sanitizer with $6 plus shipping and handling. And it is the exact same hand sanitizer that you can get for $1 at CVS. But it says Kylie Skin

on it. Seven bucks, baby. It's fucked up because it's like you know people are dying uh money is not moving around as it should be people are not supportive yet you know child billionaire kylie is like what if i started siphoning money out of these people's pockets uh vis-a-vis sanitizer products and it's really fucking cynical i mean like just think it's so inappropriate right now given where the country's at that you have kylie jenner thinking like well it has glycerin therefore uh it's the kylie vibes when again like you're saying you can get that shit there's a lot

of plenty of sanitizer that will not dry out your hands that is not seven dollars plus shipping a lot of them have it and it's also like not that uh it's it's not that shocking considering like the thing that like put the kylie makeup line on the map on the map the lip kits that the kylie lippies those formulas were almost unmistakable from the color pop formulas that were like known in makeup to be like the cost affordable uh standard almost identical nearly double triple the price like every single one of the kardashian business models is take what somebody else is doing for cheaper do the exact same thing and then put my name on it all right i mean yeah i i will say that i have been following a victim to this i i do have limp lip plumper on no i've been falling victim to celebrity

endorsements since uh you know i learned that gatorade is kool-Aid with salt in it and still kept buying that shit because it had Michael Jordan commercials. But I love it. I love it too much. But all right, let's talk about what we're all really here to talk about as the nation's capital is under physical assault. What we're really here to talk about is Kimye.

Kim and Kanye are reportedly on the brink. What happened? They said he wasn't around for the holidays. She made him go to Wyoming to stay away so she can get the fucking separation divorce thing rolling. She says she has had it but there's multiple the thing is it's messy because there are so many weird stories and half truths coming out like there's one version kanye is sick of being on a reality show and the circus of being married to a kardashian or kim is just sick of kanye's behavior another one said

quote now this divorce is happening because kim has grown up a lot she is serious about taking the bar exam and becoming a lawyer she's serious about her prison reform campaign meanwhile kanye is taking talking about running for president and saying other crazy shit their words on mine and she's just had enough of it um so i don't know what that is or there's the messiest thing that we saw, which was this unfounded rumor that started gaining traction on the internet was saying that Kanye was cheating on Kim Kardashian with Jeffree star. Wild out of left field. Way out of left field. Racist, uh, YouTube makeup person with, um, I don't know.

It's just all, it's, it's all, it's, it's all happening for them at the moment. It's just all happening for them at the moment. I've long time thought myself as a Kimye Nostradamus. Long before they even got married. Back when Kim was married to that baseball player for like a minute. You mean basketball player Chris Humphries? Is it basketball? Thank you. I don't.

Sports. Sports and me. No, it's like a natural. You never claimed to be a Kim Chris Humphphries nostradamus oh yeah the sportsman she was married to the sportsman briefly and like even before that and during the marriage uh they were always hanging out together uh like he would mention her offhand in interviews as like his best friend who he like respected and admired even when he like had his partner's wild shoes with chris humphries and beforehand they were always talking about each other in a way where i was like they're gonna date and then

they're gonna get married and then they did uh and the one where i was like oh they're definitely gonna get divorced was the met gala in which kim came out in the dripping wet mugler dress uh in the dripping wet what dress it's a dress by a designer named mugler and it made it look like she was dripping wet the whole time it was like skin tight right uh had like uh crystals hanging off of it she had like her hair slicked back and oh yeah yeah kanye was yeah and then kanye was in like some hunger games game stuff uh just his sweats right just like like it was it was it was a pretty boring get up for him but like you know she went all out and uh i guess they had like a blow-up argument beforehand where he was just like you can't keep

dressing like this and yada yada yada uh and it was the kind of argument where she was like yeah you know i really have to start seeing myself as like a mother and and you know checking how i like present myself that i was like oh they're on the outs that's right that's gonna start happening soon and then when the hologram thing happened that solidified that they had to be getting a divorce because that's the shit you do when you're like making a last ditch effort to say i'm sorry that's super extra oh conjuring the dead dad please stay with genius genius genius super genius i know that move i've done that move one time i conjured a dead father break up with me no but i fixed his toilet even though i didn't know how to fix a toilet that's necromancy yeah and then when i instead fucked

up a pipe and a friend came over he was like oh this is the kind of thing you do when you know you're gonna get dumped and i was like oh no uh which was true and that's what that is robert kardashian like the hologram that that is fixing a toilet for a dude that you know is gonna dump you even though you don't know shit about plumbing right yeah the other thing about that was they were saying when the when he unveiled the hologram he showed up late and left early like he came there played it and was out so it's it sounds like yeah that death that definitely tracks now that you're saying it because it's just a creepy hologram and then whatever uh they were saying that the like in all these right episode

that the biggest point of contention will obviously be money uh specifically around their beige calabasas hell house um and it's like a weird situation because Kim owns the land, like, and all the lots around it. But Kanye owns the physical home. So enter celebrity lawyer Laura Wasser to represent Kim K. Hey, we know her. Friend of the network. Yeah, we'll see what happens. Who's going to get what?

I wonder, because apparently Kim wants to stay there because that's where her kids are growing up and living and she's like this dude has a ranch like just fuck off somewhere else uh so i guess that'd be cool to even have problems like that where you'd be like how are we gonna split up our gazillion dollar fucking compound just push it off the land yeah keep pushing it yeah exactly there's also these costumes and i i wasn't paying attention to this but people were sharing images where it was like a family picture uh where everybody's in costumes uh and there there are two examples where uh the kanye figure is wearing a mask where you can't see his face and people were like, that's not Kanye.

Oh no. Does it seem like it could be? I think it is. You think it's him? No, I think it isn't because the height difference looks weird to me. Right. Wow, dashologist in the building. I held up

red carpet perspective photos and I was like, alright, this heel is this, on Nordstrom's website it says it's this many inches, so therefore it's at this point with this height. So I was like, doesn't match up. Okay, but what's the focal length of the lens that was used on that camera? Exactly. There are behind the scenes pictures that appear to have uh kanye without the mask on but uh very easily photoshopped you can photoshop anything these days um i mean you know i i hope this will be for the better for both of them you know because it didn't seem like this was the best

thing for either of them so you could hopefully this will be uh an improvement where in his discography did uh they get together was it after uh my beautiful dark twisted fantasy because that was like a breakup record for uh amber rose amber rose i think or at least some of the ones i know some of it was amber rose um i that's one where i've been like trying to figure out when it started and i wholeheartedly feel like it was before release uh because i remember being in many doctor's offices and like seeing those interviews of like them talking about each other kind of ramping up, where it's just like, oh, I consulted him when I was working on this. I consulted him on the aesthetics of this.

So that's when I thought it was starting to ramp up into something. They've been in their lives a lot longer than what has been openly media portrayed. And I truly wonder if this is going to be like a dark twisted fantasy situation um or if we're like if we're just waiting on like a guns and roses chinese democracy i think so yeah i can't imagine him like going back to earth coming back to earth uh in any in especially like i mean his work again but you never know you know uh yeah you never know you never know because even you know i didn't think

pablo would be a good album or i wouldn't like pablo but i liked i like that more than jesus and that was in the midst of the kim canis uh so who knows i don't know anything is possible um including a violent coup in the united states apparently right now which is unsettling all right and finally uh pizza hut is uh it is the 25th anniversary of uh the stuffed crust pizza being introduced in 1995 it's actually the 26th but they uh decided to put the brakes on uh the celebration that we had all been waiting for uh it's kind of the 25th anniversary of the stuffed crust pizza is uh is sort of the olympics for us and you can always delay it a year it's no big deal right right um and the way they're celebrating

is uh by claiming that people have been asking for uh just the crust without the pizza part and so they've released what is essentially a very skinny uh bagel with cheese inside of it aka nothing but stuffed crust uh no no pizza and they're like see uh you know people been since we introduced it people been asking for it uh and that's not true obviously uh first of all nobody's if you get this pizza off my pizza you're a herb if you buy that shit do not pay money for this stuff just get you the one that has the pizza and you have a better deal yes you have more food also they could have easily made that in stick form and just put more in the box right yeah right right yeah it is the biggest

waste of box i've ever seen it's it's just an empty box with a little crust around the edge. I don't want to see anybody talk shit about Little Caesars after this. They've done nothing but be a pizza for the people. And at least when they up the game, they do it in ways that appeals to stoners. You know, they're like, okay Little Caesars. I see you were

at Pizza Hut sometime. I'm like, okay, you're doing a lot over there. You're just like a big stunt queen. And I like the OG factor of Pan loco at Little Caesars. Yeah. Pizza, like Pizza Hut is when you take the idea of like the sort of philosophy that they, that Yum Brands brings to Taco Bell and be like, okay, how do we reinvent this? It's like, yo, just make good pizza. Like you have one product,

you have one job. Stop fucking around. Just make good, make the pizza that you make as Pizza Hut better. And we will be on board. Yeah. They're always, they're always coming up with,

are you guys like, where does Pizza Hut falling your rankings of the big four with Domino's, Papa John's, Little Caesars? Papa John's is not part of the, no, it's like Russia. They're not in the G8 anymore. Or the G20 or whatever. You're out. I'm sorry. I don't know you.

Some people like their pizza to taste like it has melted Skittles on it. That's fine. And we talked about this before. I don't have a problem with people's different opinions. That's fine. Do you. I'm just saying I'm't have a problem with people's different opinions. That's fine. Do you? I'm just saying I'm not going to eat that shit because I don't like it. I like what's funny is Pizza Hut pan pizza is the greasiest shit ever, and I love the fuck out of it.

But Domino's. The little personal pan or the big pan? Whatever. As long as it's pan. As long as they got that grease bottom. You know what I mean? Yeah. But with Dominoinoes we've talked

about this before they've been they've been in the lab they got the crust right and i want to eat the whole pizza but there's something about just like butter slice of pizza pizza that is still very comforting to me when it comes to that kind of thing yeah i've actually learned that you can butter your pieces of dominoes pizza and you get the best of both worlds uh totally have done that oh shit wow so reheating pizza in a pan is actually uh right we've talked before about a good a good way to reheat pizza and there's nothing wrong with butter in that pan before you reheat it uh i'm just saying give You put it in a cast iron, you get a good crispy butter bottom. Anyways, I've never really fucked with Pizza Hut

from when I was a kid. I've always been a Domino's boy and I think they've gotten better and better. They have more customization options. Domino's, I feel like, spent so long apologizing to us for bad pizza. Right, right. They gave us everything they wanted.

now they taste like weird soft like pizza donuts and like they're like too sweet and it's i don't know they're just i i miss i miss the og pizone yeah right no that's totally fair we also missed the final four promotional basketballs that pizza hut used to give out for free. Yeah. A large pizza. Oh, man. Remember those basketballs, boys? Those things were so dope. Look, you young kids don't know about those shitty street. Well, no, they were regulation size. They got smaller, I think, after 93. Yeah.

We had full-size basketballs because that's what you would... I remember at school, we would bring that shit to school to play on our recess court and be like, oh, we got the new Pizza Hut book. One thing that our writer Jan was pointing out is that Pizza Hut actually say so the stuffed crust pizza was a flop at first. campaign that hinged around a spot in which uh donald trump and ivana trump uh who were in the middle of a public divorce pretended like they were about to fuck only to reveal that they were actually talking about eating a uh stuffed crust pizza how us first i i don't i i vaguely remember this uh there is a video clip in the doc, but I won't. She's like, oh, Donald,

you're going to eat from the back? Ooh, what a person. I'm going to feel real bad about myself. He's like, oh, shit, from behind. He's like, I don't give a fuck about the crust. I'm still in there, even the cheese. And you're like, oh, shit. That's nasty.

The commercial was shot on a set meant to look like the plaza but obviously not the real plaza because trump uh had lost it to bankruptcy in 92 uh so even america's been lying about trump to to find a way to believe in this dude since uh since the stuff cross pizza. Right. But that's not the worst thing he's done. Probably. No, no, no, not at all. I think we're seeing it right now. Vanessa, it's been great having you on the show.

I misspoke. Now, see a tweet that I like. Everything's kind of about the coup right now. That I like. Everything's kind of about the coup right now. But this one from No Name. At No Name. White supremacy is willing to destroy itself.

So a slightly less white supremacist president. Doesn't take power. Fascinating. Yeah. No Name. Yeah. CJ Toledano. Former guest tweeted. I've never asked this out loud.

But what are white people not allowed to do? Which is, I think, a fair question right now. But yeah, people are just responding to it. It's being, I mean, the headline on Twitter trending is House and Senate sessions in recess after protests lead to Capitol lockdown. That's not protest. That is terrorism.

That's, you know, violence. That's rioting at the very least. Like, what the fuck are you talking about? The difference being like, you know, because you could, I'm sure Fox will come do one-to-one comparisons of footage from the summer to this. They're burning buildings down. I mean, what's the difference here. And a lot of it is actually not like taking the,

uh, the piece out where the police decide that they are no longer able to exercise their right to protest, try and disperse them and then get into confrontations with protesters that lead to the, you know, this perceived, Oh my God,

that the protesters are so violent versus the capital like the police their footage of i don't even know what to say i mean just this shit is overwhelming to even see because it just it gets me so pissed off to know that uh people who are in the streets for the right reasons get brutalized and are intimidated to stand up for what is good and right and proper and then you have people like this out here and they're just kind of like i don't know let them tear this shit up it's yeah it's fucked up yeah it is uh you can find me on twitter jack underscore o'brien you can find us on twitter at daily zeitgeist we're at the daily zeitgeist on instagram we have a facebook fan

Aquarian Dream. We need more of that disco sauce to just kind of go into the twilight zone. This track is called Yesterday, and then in parathetical it says, Was so nice today.
