Wouldn't it be? Oh, my God, gross. The idea of reading the book. What the fuck? We, Andrew, our guest, read books. No, dog. I forgot to tell you. She was just the character.

That must have been a joke. I was a sketch. I was doing a sketch where I was a person who reads in America. But certainly the it has to refer to the monster in the sewer. It can't be like. No, it's the doctor of the monster in the sewer. Yeah, I'm just wondering if they call it called old Petty Wise it at any point. Oh, right.

No one tell me. I don't want to know. If I was the clown that got misgendered, I'd kill a bunch of kids too. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I feel like I'm tech. technically what I am, a clown that gets misgendered.

You can check the footnotes for upcoming dates. It's Paula Bolli! Oh, I thought you were going to say Bill Scarsgaard, but okay, it's me. Hello. How are you guys doing? I'm good. I guess it's foster cat.

If anybody wants to adopt it, it will rip my heart out, but also it's probably what you should be doing is fostering cats and not foster failing every pet that I have. Yeah. What are the actual odds that this is just your cat now? I don't want to talk about it. Well, that's like how a lot of them happen

because, like, there's just no one taking in pets. and like there's so they're there there's one of the okay now she's uh rubbing her face on the laptop so the camera's shaking um there's like a bunch of pets that are now in the it's weird to say they're pets in the foster system but they're in um rescues and shelters because uh people are getting deported they're literally getting deported and their pets are getting and so it's like that's fine yeah i guess because their pets have asylum but they don't as human beings like what the fuck, you know? Right. Jesus Christ. Yeah. So adopt pets, please. Otherwise, everyone who fosters is just going to have all the pets forever. It is a very sweet girl. They're so cute.

Oh, my God. Is it a boy? It's a girl. She's about like six or seven months. And she's just like the cuddliest baby. So sweet. Love you, loves a camera. Yeah. She's a star. Put her into your your films be a stage mom with this cat she's still young she's still got it for hollywood she does she really does oh she's so cute she's got blue eyes she does love well that's the worst part but other than that very cute we do not allow that oh yeah she was in the sydney swiney commercial she's always like i have the best jeans and i'm like come down i know oh my god i got a white dog at one point and my friends would not let me hear the end of it.

They were like... Wow. They were like, wow, wow, wow, you've changed. Interracial adoption. Golden Retriever. Is it really? Hmm. All right.

Pallavi, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about. We're going to check about the Texas Democrats, they appear to be, like, doing something, which is noteworthy for... Interesting.

We're going to talk about the Smithsonian taking down... on Trump's impeachment exhibit and just generally, like, what all is going on there? Seems like there's like some blinking signs of like authoritarianism, creeping authoritarianism. That probably should be fine. Talk about Elon Musk, his thoughts on women,

which he chose to share over the weekend. And then in Act 3, we're going to talk about radioactive was. And we're going to talk about Mountain Dew conspiracy theories. And those are different stories. Yeah, somehow. Barely. All of that plenty more. But first, Pallaby, we do like to ask our guest,

what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? I was looking up, I was looking up Jay Uso's teeth before and after. Jay Uso is a W.W.E wrestler, and it's so weird. Like, I just keep seeing people with veneers, and I don't know if he has them.

Roman Raines definitely has them. It's been SummerSlam. this weekend, just FYI, for all you WWE heads. But I just, it just throws me off to see, like, comic book teeth where it's, like, straight and then there's, like, one little sparkle. You know what I mean? I'm just, I'm freaked out by veneers. Is anybody else freaked out by veneers?

I think we've gone, we've strayed to, I swear I would never say this, we've strayed too far from the British. We have strayed too far. Flew too close to the sun. Yeah. Wings of giant white teeth. And also, like, I get weirded out by, like, how they make, because they shave down your regular teeth. Yeah, yeah.

You have to sacrifice real teeth for it. And then I'm like, what if they pop off? And then you're, it's like apocalyptic and you're just running around with sharpened teeth like, like from the X files. Like, what? It just criss me out. Now, you are now, it feels like there's a new business opportunity, which is like, you know, basically like utility veneers. So you could pop them out, but pop in, like, the fucking razor blade ones. Are you talking about dentures?

Oh, utility. But I'm just saying, I'm just saying, like, ones with, like, something else on the, on the business end. On the, so, like, you know? Yeah. So explain to me what you're, I need a little more detail. Like a tiny screw for, like, the bottom of your laptop. Yeah.

Yeah. Literally, yeah. Like, one of them is, like, a hex key. One of them is like a fill up head. Yeah. I'm just saying, like, like, when it's time, when you need some. I guess the only one I can think of is very sharp ones, but I'm sure more creative people. My point is, it's not that you've shaved down your teeth into stubs to only hold up, you know, the facsimile of teeth.

You've created a platform on which, you know, anything can be built. And that's the Silicon Valley mentality I'm bringing to this podcast. Yeah, we can put Bluetooth in our teeth. Yeah, there you go. And that is actually something that's happened to me. They're actually the government's listening to me with my blue tooth. That's, I think, a very common psychiatric. So somebody in having a mental health crisis,

I feel like that's a common thing that they're worried about is the government having implanted something in their teeth. But all of them still support Elon Musk, like the then diagram. Yeah. I will say, I feel like I have been brainwerect. washed by the whatever the veneer thing is like it just i'm always like it's so weird that like at a certain point people just like go from having normal teeth to having these giant white smiles but then when i like after the white smile like the big like gleaming smiles and then i go back and like look at their normal teeth i'm like oh i'm like that that person shouldn't be allowed on

in movies there's got to be some in between You know what I mean? Yeah. There's going to be like a little in between. Maybe like a human growth hormone injected into your tiny baby teeth from before. Something. Right. Something where it's like not so fake.

I mean, do you think this is, it feels like to me like a plastic surgery situation. Like the cheap veneers are the ones that are gleaming white insane. But secretly super rich people have like veneers that have just enough imperfection that they don't look insane. Right. Is that possible? Polysis tells me no. I feel like maybe, but also, like, the veneers that I'm seeing are, like, rich people. You know what I mean?

Like, you think Roman Raines can't afford. That's true. But, like, Biden has some of the most obvious veneers, although he wasn't, like, one of the politicians who made money off of being a politician, which is why Trump never respected him. Do you think, but, like, because Roman Raines, do you think those are his, like, performance veneers? And it's just, like, when you're in the ring, you do need to pop?

and then he can walk around day to day with normal looking, I guess not. I think the years like stay. I think they're your permanent teeth. Yes, they're permanent. They're like glued. Yeah, they shave your teeth down and then glue on like permanently.

It's like an inspector gadget situation where it becomes a part of your body. And then it changes who you are. You just become a stalk. Yeah, the teeth talk for you. Yeah. Oh, man. Teeth talk.

It is like a big. You know, I remember Jamie Loftus talking about people to shout out from the very beginning of the podcast, Jamie Loftus, is obsessed with, like, S&L cast members. And, like, you can tell, like, that Lauren has been like, okay, you're going to stick around and be a star when they get veneers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like a year or two in. Yeah. But I do think it's got my ass.

I'm in the clutch of big veneer, unfortunately. I regret to inform you. What is something, Pahlavi, that you think, is underrated? Oh, my God. Okay. This is going to be, this is, like, me showing how, like, straight edge I am. Oh, yeah. I'm, like, I've been micro-dosing edibles, as in taking tiny, tiny bites of them.

Oh, sure. Because I have really bad restless leg syndrome. And so I, like, stay up at night and, like, stay up at night. and like I'm kicking, nothing's happening, not falling to sleep, walking around, whatever. And like, edibles have really helped me sleep. They've, like, helped, like, with the pain because it's like, it's a, it feels like pain and burning and discomfort. And for the longest time, I was like, oh, I just got to, like, not have caffeine and I got

to exercise and blah, blah, blah. And it was still not working. And then it's like, oh, I got to treat this like it's real pain. And the edibles have helped. So I'm like rediscovering. I've had them before. obviously, but I'm like rediscovering edibles as like a medicinal, for medicinal use. You guys heard about this weed stuff?

Have you guys heard about marijuana? I like how you're like, like self-medicating the dosage using the nibble method. Tiny, tiny bites. Tiny bites. This is my new restaurant. Tiny bites of edibles. So you're not like cutting it into quarters. You're just doing like a little like, I'm very much like my mother with a recipe. I'm like, and a pinch of this and a dash of this. Always the best cooks, you know, so why not the best users of edibles? Yeah. I feel like the best cooks are just like, I just like kind of feel it in my

bones when I've put in enough salt. It feels like my legs are feeling the right texture, you know? That's right. They're feeling seasoned. Well, congratulations. I'm glad you found something to help. Yes. Yeah. Make your legs more restful. It's also like giving my coming from like a brown family like getting on antidepressants took me in like it took me into my 30s and I've had like depression since I was like eight years old. So I think like giving yourself permission to treat your physical ailments as you know like serious things when they're not always outwardly noticeable. It's like a huge thing for like being an adult and taking control of your your life and stuff. I just wrote this argument into a script that I'm very happy about, or just kind of like formalize this in my head, which was that like, my parents wanted me to be a doctor so much for people who do not believe in Western medicine. Like, they wanted me to be a doctor, and yet they don't want any actual medical treatment until it's like fucking doctor. They're just like, psychiatry is not real. Like, they'll eat fucking herbs instead of seeing like, you know, my dad told me he should.

he got told by the Chinese doctor he's not allowed to have red foods anymore and it made me fucking crazy he's like, get all the lobster out of the house I'm not even that anymore. Yeah, literally I think they were like the doctor secretly was like this motherfucker eats too much crab, but he just

needed to tell him in a way that he could believe and so he told him a magic spell. And it would be fine if they were magic spell people, but they're also, you must be a doctor people. And that's Maddening. It's actually the red in there that's getting to you. Yeah. I have a joke about how like every Asian kid is trying to become a doctor just to diagnose our parents with mental

illness, like, officially, just to be like, no, you are severely depressed. Yeah. What the doctorate you paid for is telling you that. I won't believe it. I grew up Catholic and I was told my restless leg syndrome was because my legs have a guilty conscience. Oh, I thought it was going to be like they're possessed. That's fine. That's fun. Yeah. You aren't praying enough if your legs are. What the fuck did your legs do? What did your legs have to confess to? Yeah. I mean, from having all this from being so caked up. Yeah. What is something you think is overrated?

Okay. I came on here. I came on here. I don't know, like a year ago, a year and a half. And I was like something that. that's underrated is Roombas. And you guys were like, no. No, no, no. We did not disagree with you. We just said. Wait and see. We said, I was more like hopeful.

I was like, maybe you have a type of, maybe they've like made improvements that I was unaware. Oh, wow. Yeah. Nope, I am, I have a Roomba. I attempt to use it. Something goes wrong. I'm sweeping again.

I'm sweeping again. Oh my God. Can I just tell you, especially because you have pets, That's, you're describing the best case scenario of something going wrong with the Roomba. Yeah. Because the worst case scenario is the worst shit you've ever seen, kind of literally. It's so bad. If your tracks through a big giant shit.

I always have to monitor it because I don't trust it. Yeah. Yeah. Back to the future wheel tracks, except instead of flames, it's dog shit going through. I mean, literally the amount of, like, the first time, like two times I used the Roomba, I had to monitor it so close. that it truly was, it would literally be less effort to vacuum.

Right. Yeah. Like, it's just like, like all tech things, it doesn't actually save anything, any, like, effort. And it probably made a map of your house that it uploaded to the Roomba Corporation. It just needs to learn your house and your habits more.

It's really cute that you think I have a house and not an apartment that's probably bought up by Black Rock or whatever. Right. Black Rock already gave them the blueprints. They have cameras on the walls, I'm assuming, I don't know. They're fighting over it. The Roomba Company versus BlackRock.

They're like, wait. It's actually how they found Bin Laden. He had a Roomba and they just, it was scanning. So the Roomba has not, it still gets stuck under things and it's still like the one brush keeps sticking and then it does, yeah, it's, it's a lot. But I'm, I don't know. I hope that someday there will be some sort of improvement where like I don't feel Like I have to watch it and I also don't have to change out the parts all the time.

Yeah. The dust bag. Why can't it detect the dustbag? I don't do anything to the dustbag. It's in the place where it's supposed to be. Right. If it can map my house, it can't see that the dustbag is already fucking installed. At this point, I feel like a dustbag.

Not to be super pessimistic, but the people who own robot companies have not thus far been interested in actually improving anyone's lives. It's just a pitch that sounds good in a room, like in Wall Street, right? Yeah. Well, this is going to be great. It's going to mow our lawns for us. Yeah. Mow the nation's lawns for it.

Can you imagine? I mean, the robot that takes out your trash is literally going to be identical to having, like, the FBI go through your trash every day. Right. Yeah, exactly. That's like living at home with my mom. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm like, she was constantly like, aware of everything I threw out, everything I did, you know. That is how they, like, actually study. Like, that is essentially what archaeology is or whatever the... Asian moms. Just digging through people's trash. That's all it is. It's a whole science.

Just a bunch of freaks digging through the trash. That's right. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about some news. We'll be right back. Have you ever looked at a piece of abstract art or music or poetry and thought,

that's just a bunch of pretentious nonsense? Well, that's exactly what two bored Australian soldiers set out to prove during World War II. When they pulled off what was either a bold literary hoax or a grand poetic experiment, publishing over a dozen intentionally bad but highly acclaimed works of expressionist poetry under the name Earn Malley in an incident that caused a major. media firesstorm and even a criminal trial. The Earned Malley episode made fools of believers and critics alike and still fascinates poetry lovers to this day. We break down the truth, the lies, and the poetry in between on hoax, a new podcast hosted by me, Lizzie Logan, and me, Dana

Schwartz. Every episode, hoax explores an audacious fraud or ruse from history from forged artworks to the original fake news to try and answer why we believe. Listen to hoax on the IHeart Radio app. Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Stuff You Should Know guys have made their own summer playlist of their must listen podcasts on movies.

American History is full of wise people. What women said something like, you know, 99.99% of war is diarrhea and 1% is gory. Those founding fathers were gossipy AF, and they love to cut each other down. I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline, the show where you send us your questions about American history, and I find the end.

answers, including the nuggets of wisdom our history has to offer. Hamilton pauses, and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption. My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said. It would have been harder to fake it than to do it. Listen to American History Hotline on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Noah, I'm 13, and as you might have seen from the news, I got a podcast, and I explain those fake headlines like your uncle would,

like your cousin would if he actually did the research. Honestly, adults don't ask the right questions. Now you know with Noah DeBaroso is a show about influence. Who's got it, how they use it, and what it means for the rest of you. It's not the news. It's what the news should be if someone Gen Z or Gen Alpha made it. And I'm watching everything. Sheesh.

The majority of the youth, 18 through 24, say they trust Republicans more than Democrats differ on the economy. You kidding me. Politics is wild and I'm definitely not here to pay it, but I'm here to make sense of it. Just what's happening, why it matters, and what it means for us. Bring your brain. Listen to Now You Know with Noah DeBarras on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get And we're back. And we're back. And all right. Let's talk about Democrats doing a thing,

because this is kind of exciting. The Texas Democrats left the state of Texas so that Republicans could not get a quorum for their gerrymandering plan. This is the plan that is like very transparently. I mean, it's just like Trump kind of doing the thing where he like says the thing out. He's like, just a simple redrawing and we pick up five seats. Wow. Like he just says like the, we're going to do the cheating part, which is like it is like part of the magic of Trump is he just like stops trying to lie about that stuff. And it's just like so that's straightforward. But anyways, it's like, dares someone to like give him a consequence and it That's what happens.

I just love the fact that for lawmakers to get anything done in the country, they have to fucking leave. That's my favorite part. I'm doing more help by leaving. Yeah, we are celebrating the Democrats for just leaving. By taking a by Ted cruising on a vacation. That's right. Yeah. So when Ted does it, it's bad, but now these people are doing it.

And everyone's cheering them on. What the fuck? But in objection to the undemocratic jerusalem, They have collectively fled to Illinois, and it appears to be, like, effective. I don't know. Like, the degree to which the Republicans are so mad about this. And by the way, they might just all be, like, in prison by the time you hear this. But as of right now, the Republicans seem so mad.

Yeah. It's called the Democrat potential felons. Potential? I mean, look. They've got potential. Everyone's a potential felon. What are you talking about? Come on.

Unless you're an actual felon, like Trump. That's true. I mean, I, this is, I will say, like, this is not, like, a going above and beyond. This is just using a tool of procedure. Just going to do something. Yeah, yeah. This is, you know, let's, this is, like, actually use it, which they haven't been doing. They haven't even been using the tools at their disposal, whereas Republicans

use many tools beyond their disposal. So it's still not like, oh, we're finally fighting back. They are finally fighting back. But they're at least kind of doing something. I mean, I don't know. Cori Booker's been yelling a lot, so

Cory Booker is going above and beyond in his blood pressure. Yelling. Yeah. In his efforts to give me the douche chills. He is going above and beyond. And just, yeah.

I mean, this, yeah, this is the resistance we got, I suppose, but Jesus Christ. But yeah, I don't know. They do seem to go above and beyond when it comes to, like, finding ways to ignore the message behind Zeramamani's success. Yeah. Everything else. Well, he's the real enemy, of course. Right. Below and behind.

Yeah. But it is good, it is good that they're doing this. I guess I should say this is necessary. but not sufficient in terms of doing something about Trump. Such a math-ass answer. Such a proof-based answer. Yeah. Well, it is.

It's just like, you don't want to, like, shit on them like, like, I reflexively do, but it's not nearly enough. Yeah, yeah. They do like to take the high road. They're addicted to taking the high road. So when they do a thing that's just like, I don't know, maybe this will stop it. It looks kind of silly, but we don't give a fuck. Like, that feels refreshing.

in a way that is... Whenever they take any action that has any actual repercussions, you're like, wow. They do stuff that should matter. Who told them how to do that? I do just like this quote from House Republican Representative Cody vouched defending the initial redistricting

that they're trying to pull off. He said, this map was politically based and that's totally legal, totally allowed, and totally fair. It's totally prudent, totally right for Texas to be able to respond. and improve the political performance of his men. Just like, you can judge the fairness. Totally, totally, totally.

Totally, totally. Yeah, you can definitely just take whatever somebody, when somebody spikes their ethical judgment with seven totalies, I feel like you're, you can probably take that to the bank. Cool, cool, cool, cool. Could I also just say, if, if, I feel like if any of us wrote the name Cody Voused in a script as, a clear proxy for the actual devil,

we would be told this is too on the nose. I know. I also like that... A Vastian bargain? Ah. Right. Yeah. All right.

So there's just been a couple, like, Trump things where, like, there's one of his aides was like, oh, that's so sick that they're doing indefinite presidential terms in El Salvador. We should do that here. Lo, lo, lo, lo. There's also a,

leaked document showing the New Republic published showing that they're planning to this is just the start of their domestic use of military like what we saw in L.A. recently. They weren't like, ooh, we maybe pushed it too far there. They were like, that wasn't a moose bouch. Yeah. And so just a much lighter but more concrete example of that would be that there is a Smithsonian exhibit on impeachments that have happened in U.S. history called The Limits of Presidential Power Exhibit. And it used to be about all the impeachments that have happened to sitting U.S. presidents, including Bill Clinton, Richard Nixon, Andrew Johnson, and Donald Trump. And one of those has recently been removed for reasons that, well, first I'll let you guys guess which one got removed. Bill Clinton.

It killed itself. That's right. Yeah, there had been a placard that was added that references Trump's impeachment, but it was removed. And the Smithsonian's explanation, I don't know, I'm not going to taint your judgment on this, but you just tell me. So they said, the placard, which was meant to be a temporary addition to a 25-year-old exhibition,

did not meet the museum's standards in a paper. location, timeline, and overall presentation. It was not consistent with other sections in the exhibit, and moreover blocked the view of the objects inside its case. For these reasons, we remove the placard. We're not asked by any administration or other government or if it would remove the contact from the exhibit. So just, I don't know why you're even asking about that.

Yeah. We did it on our own. We did this bad idea by ourselves. Which might be true. But the Trump administration has been attacking museums and historical parks and just, like, firing people and taking away funding. Yeah. So, I don't know. I haven't, I hadn't heard that.

Wow. Some people are even saying it's like ideologically motivated some of the stuff they're doing, which is a little crazy. Jokes on you, we don't have ideas on the right. Yeah, we don't even know what that is. We're just full of feelings. I mean, I think I agree with you that there's definitely a strong chance no one asked. This is just something that I feel like this is like happening so much, which is just like the people in charge of institutions who are all center right to right wing goons. Because you just don't get that type of power without being right wing on some of all are just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's just do it.

And they decide if you stay open and they also live in Washington. D.C., which if my Night at the Museum franchise knowledge is correct, that's where Washington, D.C. is where the dang Smithsonian's at. That's true. That was from night at the museum. That's where it's all at.

That's how I live my whole life, Night at the Museum style rules. I mean, taking down Trump's stuff, it feels definitely plausible that it's just like, ah, why bother? They're just going to come after us, like let's just, you know, like everyone. Like sort of, at

at best hiding their heads in the sand or cowering in fear? Question. Fear? Does that seem right? Is that a thing? Is that a thing people? Do you know what I mean, though?

I could easily see this not, like, I could see them telling the truth here, and yet it still has the same result. Yeah, I don't know if, like, anybody explicitly needs to be told, like, how to follow along with the fascist regime. Yeah, it's pretty easy. They might.

Say what you will about fascists. It's really clear what to do, most of the time. Yeah, thanks. You do the thing that, like, you're told to do in under capitalism, which is like, be proactive, you know? Yeah, yeah. Make decisions ahead of time, you know?

It's like, try and please your boss, your old, the ultimate boss. Yep. The furor by doing, doing fun things ahead of time, you know? I was trying to cosplay as an evangelical and you were right. That was the correct decision to go. Sort of the same, same move. either way. Yeah.

All right. We haven't checked in with, we checked in with Elon Musk with regards to his culinary achievements last week. But it's been a while since we checked him with like, how are things like with the ladies? Yeah. And Paul, you found this one.

He shared a post on Twitter about women. What were the vibes? Only good. Only like super normal and chill and like very respectful and whatnot. You know, Elon Fives. I mean, he's probably just reflecting on his, like, how he's interacted with his compound harem of women or whatever, but he re-shared a post on Twitter.

There was a tweet that said by Morgan N.M. That said, why do liberal white women hate white people so much? And then Musk responded with, they've been programmed to do so by their teachers and the media. So he's like, through learning. about things, you know, in life. And I'm like, okay, okay, I'm following along. Yeah, yeah. And then there was, then somebody quote tweeted him,

aptly named Dr. Insensitive, said, insightful, which made me think at first that this was Elon himself, you know? It's like a different version of interesting. No, the writing is too coherent for it to be Elon. Insightful. Women are built to be traded to another tribe or captured, parenthetical and slide seamlessly into their new culture that keeps them safe even though they are physically weak

20 years after they are captured they are the matriarchs who enforce that culture that is why women conform to the dominant culture and thereby amplify that culture in my opinion that is why western women raised in anti-white culture are now amplifying anti-white culture even though they are white they think that keeps them safe and they are correct but only in the short term in the long term they will be forced to remember remember, they are white. That is so funny. Better, they are reminded of that by white men because the alternative is not so gentle. White men, you are needed. I love the idea of women like waking up 20 years after marrying into something and just being like, I'm white. Oh, my God. Terrifying. How come nobody reminded me? Oh, my God. I do like, every sense they lifted the character limit for fucking blue is it blue checks only get to write these like stupid ass manifestos on twitter i don't even know it genuinely is so funny like even when you write this out loud like how shitty the writing is like shouldn't it hit your ear wrong how

often you say culture and white in this and like wouldn't a curious mind who wants to communicate simply find a synonym right it's really weird I think they're just trying to associate white people with culture. That's why they keep saying those two words over it. White people have culture. It's just like the writing is so like tinneered, I guess. I guess what I mean is it's unsurprising that these are surely the same people that think chat GPT writing is amazing.

It's also like it's so funny that they're like women are built like a Tesla or they're optimized. Yeah. Also the we're all just cave. man and cave women ideology is kind of weird coming from someone who like males women he's never met his jizz in the male and has like his entire relationship with them is like through legal contracts that's just survival of the jizzist okay yeah so i don't know always great to hear from him uh and then Orwin's special, Survival of the JISIS. Survival of the Jit. I think that was originally the name of the theory.

And Justin Timberlake came through and was like, drop the Jizz. Just make it fittest. This is going to ruin the tour. Oh, my God. I mean, listen, the one thing that is good about Twitter has continually been, and I guess also Truth Social, is like, it is really nice to see, like,

Elon Musk is not just not smarter than you. he's, like, one of the dumbest people that's ever lived. Wild. Yeah. And it really is, like, oh, if you think this is worth saying, like, this, the thing probably just read is worth saying out loud, you're stupid. Right. And it's like, it's a, I mean, yeah, it's just so.

Really interesting point. Amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Watching, watching people like that rediscover talking points from like 500 years ago. Yeah. Right. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh, wow. Human rights. Genius brain. You're a, you came up with something a Nazi scientist thought of. Good for you. Yeah. I don't even think they needed to be scientists.

Well, yeah. I'm sorry. Some of the PhD in Nazi science. Oh, right. The type of science that, uh, no longer exists. Not the, not the rocket scientists. America really appreciated their work. Yeah.

Yeah. It's just, I mean, like, like he's, he's just, a fucking weird moron creep and like he always has been and now we all know it and thankfully I guess the bot situation also makes it nice

because you're like okay there's such a limit to the number of people that are like this and yes they are growing but they have like somehow conflated the idea that if an idea if an idea was like is offensive then like it is

true and was being suppressed only because it was offensive. That must be. Yeah, it must be true and just like a piece of hidden information. And I feel like that dynamic is so... Comedy is legal again, okay? If you can't spot the logical fallacy in this, which is that white supremacy is the dominant culture of the globe.

Yes. So, like, you're just wrong. Your premise is incorrect. Right. So... Guess what the rest of this is garbage. So funny that anytime somebody says something is anti- white. I'm like, sick, I'll be there. Where are we meeting?

Yeah. Where is the anti-white meeting happening? Let's figure it out. Sounds like everyone's based. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk radioactive wasps and Mountain Dew conspiracies. In 1920, a magazine article announced something incredible. Two young girls had photographed real fairies. But even more extraordinary than the magazine article's claim was the identity of the man who wrote the article, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the man who wrote Sherlock Holmes. Yes, the man who invented literature's most brilliant detective was fooled by two girls into thinking fairies were real. How did they do it? And why does it seem like so many smart people keep falling for outlandish tricks?

These are the questions we explore in hoax, a new podcast from me, Dana Schwartz, the host of Noble Blood. And me, Lizzie Logan.

What women said something like, you know, 99.99% of war is diarrhea and 1% is gory. Those founding fathers were gossipy A.F. And they love to cut each other down.

I'm Bob Crawford, host of American History Hotline, the show where you send us your questions about American history, and I find the answers, including the number. nuggets of wisdom our history has to offer. Hamilton pauses, and then he says, the greatest man that ever lived was Julius Caesar. And Jefferson writes in his diary, this proves that Hamilton is for a dictator based on corruption.

My favorite line was what Neil Armstrong said. It would have been harder to fake it than to do it.

Yes. I love this. Radioactive wasps. Hot wasps. So the Department of Energy is out here. Do it. These are the jobs that Doge is cutting. The Department of Energy is cutting.

is out here finding radioactive wasp nests at a decommissioned nuclear facility in South Carolina. The most surprising part of the story was that the Department of Energy still exists for me. Like that was the most, I was like, wow, we still got one. Well, it exists in this way. I mean, you'd assume there would be some version of it that's like how much oil can we get out of the crowd. Yeah, yeah, exactly. This is like the animal control section. Right.

How do we convert oil into a beverage that we? we can sell to Americans. That would be in our next section about Mountain Dew. That's right. We'll convert it to the bottles that contain the beverages, but what if it was the actual thing

inside the plastic bottles? But yeah, so a spokesperson for the Department of Energy said, the U.S. Department of Energy is managing the discovery of four wasp nests with very low levels of radioactive contamination. The nests do not pose a health risk

to SRS workers, the community or the environment. Yeah, nice try. Nice try, assholes. It was like 100,000 DPM, which is significant. Yeah, what is that? How much is that? I'm going to pretend like I know that that's high.

I mean, when I looked, I don't know, I honestly, I have no idea. But like that plant was making plutonium and tritium during the Cold War. Yeah, it was like weapons-grade nuclear. Hell yeah. weapons of wasp destruction. There it is. There it is, Swish. This episode's over.

This whole show's over. They found the nest near a tank where nuclear waste was stored. They were summarily executed with bug spray. Which is so fucked up. Like, the amount of, like, superheroes we could have gotten from those wastes. Yeah. I, we don't know that they got them all. Come on through.

I like to think that one escaped and is going to be in the next Marvel. I will say, I think our brains all think if you get stung by that wasp, it transfers the radiation to you. Under Trump, that is a valid medical health care plan. That's like basically bleach in your veins, okay. It feels like the bigger danger is like if you eat a wasp, right? You just don't want to. I always think about that with like dogs because they always look really cute with their chubby cheeks when they like get stung by a bee from the inside. Yeah.

Is that a thing that happens so often? Yes. Look at a dog's bee stings cheeks and they look like got their wisdom teeth out. It's really cute. I'm sure it's really scary for them, yeah. But it is very cute. Some of them are allergic to stings. Because B-stings is also like a, you know, a thing that people do to their faces to like, it's like a skincare secret.

What the fuck are we doing? Are you serious? Oh, yeah. I love this. What is that? Why did they do that? I think plumping, I would assume. It's always plumping.

It's always the plumping. They seem to have, like, not put a lot of effort to work with environmental biologists to investigate, like, what the radioactive contamination of living animals looks like. We don't know how the wasp became contaminated. We don't know what species of wasp was involved. We don't know if they stung anybody and that person developed powers that might be cool. than the wasp from the Antman universe. Or just, like, as cool.

Maybe that's how veneers came to be. Yeah. Why are your teeth glowing in the dark? That's so crazy. Radiological waste. Oh, my God. Yeah. It's so weird.

What else? Also, I do, I do kind of, I am sort of curious about the shit. Wait, was it deep impact? What's the one where they send Ben Affleck? What's the one where they send Ben Affleck to drill? the meteorite. Armageddon. Armageddon. Is this a situation where they got

nuclear waste disposal or a wasp team and trained them to be... Did they train the wasp exterminators to handle nuclear or did they get... Nuclear waste people to learn how to handle wasps.

You don't know your way around the wasp nest, sir. The TV show Animal Control. No. This sounds like a beautiful episode of it. It's like Like, it's just an animal control group of, like, people trying to deal with animals or whatever on a daily basis. And then they get called up. It's a to be a continued episode. And the second episode is just, like, basically Trinople.

It's like everybody just turns translucent. I mean, I just, I do think, or my version, the, not my version, to me, the most exciting version is a prickly team where no one gets along of half nuclear waste disposal, half wasp. Half was. Oh, oh, I was going to say, okay, okay, go. Right. One wasp who's a turn, a turdeme, a turncoat wasp who's leading them to the side. The nuclear physicists are like standing there watching the wasp exterminators walk up and like the wasp exterminators like roll out of a van with like Budwisers and Mountain Dews like rolling out and they say, we'll never teach these guys. Yeah. That's an actual line from Armageddon, by the way. They do say because because it's a, you know, space thing and there's the space thing.

and there's the space movie, the right stuff. Oh, God. Well, one of them says, talk about the wrong stuff as the oil drillers come up. Oh, my God. And they have to teach them how to be astronauts instead of. That's what an insane.

Yes, this is good. I want to hear about this team. I feel so bad for, you're already writing a screenplay. I feel so bad for bees, because, like, first of all, they're not as badass as wasps. Everybody knows that.

Wasps are, like, scarier for us to run into. Second of all, they're all dying. Everybody's like, Give a bee some water. And now they don't even get to be radioactive. I know. It's very sad. Give them something.

It's pathetic what's happened to our bees. They used to be like the urban legend thing. Like in the 80s, the Africanized killer bees was like how they generated against bees. Yeah. They created a racist bee conspiracy that was like going to come. It was like the hottest way to get people freaked out on local. was the way local news people said Africanized.

Yeah, exactly. They're like, these urban bees. Yeah, it was so racist that it was like, just say what you mean, dog. Oh my God, that's crazy. All right, we do have to, and I am, it's not that

anything's wrong with my voice. I'm just getting choked up because we are going to now talk about Mountain Dew. And conspiracy theories, two things that are near and dear to my heart. Over the past few months, there have been a bunch of online conspiracy theories about what is being repeatedly

called a chilling online conspiracy theory. Hell yeah. Because I guess like... Easy on the eyes. You like to drink Mountain Dew, chilled. And also only chill people drink Mountain Dew. That's not true at all. All right. So basically,

people have noticed that new Mountain Dew flavors have a tendency to predict real world disasters. Maui burst came out and then the 2023 Maui Wildfires happened. Star-Spangled splash hit stores

before the collapse of the Francis Scott Keybridge in Baltimore and others, presumably. I don't know. Those two, pretty good. People are like, okay, and then Code Red came out in when 2001 before

the ultimate Code Red, 9-11? Okay, and then Baja blasted? Anybody talking about that. So this one's, this is where we, I think the way they're doing this is that like they're not actually talking about things that came out like around the same time. By the way, my dad is on the other side of the wall just blasting a hose into, if you can hear

that. I fucking love the Jersey Shore. It's the Jersey Shore. Just blasting hoses. So Baja blast, interestingly, you might remember when a, oh wait, that actually is a thing. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I remember when a hurricane hit the Baja coast of California, not too long ago.

It was a once in, once every 170 years phenomenon. And it couldn't be climate change that was causing that. It must be a global weather conspiracy launched by the good people of PepsiCo. The theory is that Baja Blast was predicting that. But like Baja Blast has been around for so many years. Yeah. Not 170, though, dude, if you look at the timeline and you shrink it, okay? On a geological scale, Baja Bless is pretty new.

It's been closer than ever. I love, I guess what? I love conspiracy theories that posit immense power being used and talked about in this specific way. Right. Because it's like, if you could change the weather. why the fuck would you care about telling everyone via a mountain dew? You should just tell the world

that you rule the world now because you can control weather. You're not fun at all. Right, right. But just the time it would take to develop all these cryptograms. Have you ever tried to write a puzzle? It's really hard.

So, like, this is so much effort being put into these little Easter eggs for why. But I could a thousand percent see Lex Luthor doing this. Do you know what I mean? Like it's fucking evil nerd shit. Yes. You know what?

Lex Luthor. I'm in. I'm in on this one. It is like wildly entertaining. I'm glad that I can focus group test it because I was like, does this just appeal to me because I like Mountain Dew on conspiracy theories? But like these are good conspiracy theories. It's like the monster energy drink.

Do you remember that video of that woman? being like, monster energy drink is like, there's all these signs from the devil. And like, it's like a really famous video of her talking about how, like, the symbols of it or numerology or whatever the fuck. Because just imagine

from the other side, imagine being on the Illuminati committee for creating little puzzles for the dumbest TikTokers in the world to figure out. Like, why? Do you, are you in touch? Is it, are you part of the marketing department? Are you in

touch with the weather control people. I guess I'm writing this movie. The theory is that, like, you have one person who's on the board at the Illuminati who, like, gets a weird, like, perverse pleasure from, like, teasing people with it and wants to draw attention to it. The department of funny little games. It's like the, it's a Nepo baby. It's a Nepo-Aluminati baby.

You're right. You're right. It's Barron Trump. It's Alex Luther, the second. Yeah. I mean, long history of Mountain Dew conspiracy theories, obviously the yellow dye, which I didn't even know that was a conspiracy theory. I had just like kind of taken that at face value as a hazard of, you know, like, yeah, man,

but I still got the love of the game. Can't scare me away. There's also like some in the 90s that specifically said tropical fantasy Mountain Dew was laced with. the secret ingredient that would cause sterility and black men and bottled by the KKK. And there were like flyers printed up

and like spread around cities about that. And then people were like, damn, Coke is really going above and beyond with their marketing efforts. But why does every conspiracy theory have to involve black people? Like the Africanization of the wasps or whatever the fly.

Just leave them out of it. Africanized mountain dew fantasy. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the reason these all line up is because Mondeu is targeted towards young men, and so all of their, like, flavor ideas have some sort of aggressive bent to them, right? Yes. And that's why I correspond, you can contort it to fit with any disaster.

And they are also, your bursts, your blasts, et cetera. And the insane clown posse drinks are related to socialism. In this lecture, I will have to say, as a Michigan person who actually has had more fago red pop than anyone needs to know about I fucking love I love I love like latching yourself to a niche

regional brand that's Mountain Dew bullshit fucking faco Red pop I mean to a certain extent Mountain Dew like one of the reasons this persists is that Mountain Dew

actually like like there's a tweet at Mountain Dew what's your favorite Mountain Dew conspiracy theory? Yeah yeah yeah I guess Mountain Dew is a region

brand if you consider Twitch like its own sovereign area, which it probably is. Yeah, that makes sense. By the way, do DEW directed energy weapons. I don't want to, I'm not going to, you know, connect all the dots for you, do your own research. Listen to trending yesterday for how much we love a weird acronym. That's right. They hit it in the acronym. It was there all along.

Gave you all the clues, Mr. Policeman. Caloos. All the caloos. Hey, look, I got a lot of tables. They've got, like, a lot of trippy commercials, too, which other way that they're, like, there's a commercial where a Mountain Dew drinker looks in a mirror and discovers that they're secretly a lizard person. Yeah.

That's fine. They know what they're up to. Lean in, marketers. We love you. They start. Now this is the beginning of them, like, actually causing human, like, disasters across the world because they're like, it's working. They love it.

I don't care if it was an accident before. If we're going to take down Sears Tower or something. I mean, it's like if you're going to do this, it is just like, name your suite of Mountain Dew products, like one for each, like, major region of the world. Yeah. Right. And then append like a plausibly deniable disaster thing to it.

Coming up, Mountain Dew, Florida sinks. Yeah. What? It tastes like it was brewed in a sink in Florida. Why does this have a picture of Anderson Cooper in the rain? Well, Paula, it's such a pleasure having you, as always, on the Daily Zykegeist. Where can people find you, follow you, hear you, all that good stuff? You can find me at Paula Vigan-L-A-V-I-V-I-G-U-N-A-L-N-A-N everywhere.

I do have the monthly comedy show, facial recognition, at the comedy store. I'm also like accidentally on an improv team at the pack theater now. Hey. Go check that out. How did that happen? I don't. It's a whole thing. My whole team was supposed to audition that I'm the only one that ended up on a team out of my old team. It's a it's a whole thing. And then also I'll be opening up for Mohanad el-sheki in southern California coming up in a couple in a few weeks. I think the 19th through the 21st. He has some shows. And then, yeah, I'm just going to be bobbing around doing shows,

trying to sell tickets, you know, getting accumulating credit card debt like the rest of my peers. So, come through. Come through. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? Okay, every time I looked disconnected during this episode, I've been trying to find that TikTok where it's like three guys pretending to be tech bros and they're touching grass and it's just

inspiring them to make, like, more dystopian tech shit. Have you guys seen that? They're like, this should be blue about the grass. Yeah, I have it. I have it right here. Oh, my God. We will link off to it in the footnotes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Very funny. Footnotes. Yeah, that is a great video. Imagine this shit streamlined. It's like what I, like, because tech guys do use psychedelics. Yeah. And these are their conclusions that they come to. That look at Earth and just say, what if instead of,

like a business that already existed, what if we did it through an app and then went to literally the same business back? That's right. They're like, what if we, what if we were the middleman just throttling the necks of these people's bank accounts? I cannot download another app. I can't do it. I'm fucking old. Stop making me download apps. I think it's from at Ethan Mead forever on TikTok. We will share it in the footnotes. Andrew, such a pleasure having you. Thank you for having me. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff? I'll be, number one. I think I'm back tomorrow, if I recall it correctly.

But, yo is this racist is my podcast. I don't know. I'm trying to write some fucking movies. So hopefully look for those in four years or whatever the fuck. Yeah. Yo's this racist. There it is. All right.

Oh, and is there where comedia you've been enjoying? Comedian and actor, May Martin, has a, music album out called I Am a TV and it is great. Yeah, I would suggest getting on that. I've been listening to it all week. It's really, it's really

quite good. Is it a comedic or is it just like a good album? Sorry, it's music. It's pure music. It is not joky. It's not joke songs. Right. Yeah, yeah. I guess I ultimately will say I don't like it when people are talented at more than one thing. I know. And like in different ways. Yeah.

But like very talented. Like successful in Multiple fields. Yeah. I don't know if you're, it's one of those things where, like, because May's voice is like, I didn't think very distinctive, but when you hear them singing,

it is really like, oh, yeah, this is great. Yeah, well, well, that sounds great. You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien and on Blue Sky at Jack OB, the number one.

Work of media I've been enjoying. So last week, I had a bombshell recommendation, this movie, Hereditary. I still haven't seen it I still haven't seen it I just know there's a girl from it

And Pahlavi, I was once like you Wow And it's just a Kate can't recommend it enough Really I really enjoyed it Sorry, it's very enjoyable It's one of those movies that's good

It's good But I also understand not recommending It's very unpleasant Very unpleasant So anyways I watched Mid-Somar this last week, which I hadn't seen. And also, I'm going to recommend that one.

Another hot one off the, I like to find out about things. Can I say something that is ingrained in anti-white culture? There are some movies I look in. I'm like, too white. And I'm like, I just don't sit through three hours of the whitest people whitening. This is why I didn't watch Oppenheimer. I was just like, I didn't watch Oppenheimer either for the same reason. I have a hard limit to the white prestige Oscar movie every year.

And I'm just like, I don't think you're going to do this. Yes. I understand it's good. Yeah, I heard it's good. I'm friends with someone who's in it. But I could, I'm like having white people comment on the horrors they've done for three hours. I just don't feel like it. I can't.

Yeah. You guys, he felt bad. There are scenes in it where he feels bad. That actually makes sense. I like that now. Does he cry at all? No, I actually know. He didn't feel bad enough to cry.

It just seems like vaguely freaked out by the whole thing. That's just Killian Murphy. That's Killian Murphy on any given day. That's just his face. It just seems like it's like six white guys smoking cigarettes around a chalkboard. And I already watched Mad Men. I've already seen Mad Men. So why?

It's the same thing, right? Kind of. Yeah. That is correct. You have absolutely gotten it. it is time for me to Super Producer is saying it's time for me to move on to Bo's Afraid,

which I've heard is a real... Like, the first two are similar formulaically in a way that I thought worked. Oh, this is a Joaquin like. No, they're all Ariester. Ariaster. Ariaster.

His new movie, I still haven't seen... Oh, his like, code name or what is it called? Eddington. Eddington. Oh, no, no, no, no, wait, wait. No, no, these are all, we're just going down the chronology of Ariaster. But Eddington is his new movie.

I haven't seen it yet. I did ask my, you know, my friend who'd seen it, does it have the trademark Ariaster very unpleasant violence part? And apparently it kind of doesn't. Oh, wow. Which is weird. It's kind of unnerving to think about. Yeah, I just wanted to see some horrible, horrible shit.

Anyways, I'm here to recommend. things very late, so it's like kind of a useless recommendation, and also recommend things that have very unpleasant moments that will make you be like, oh, what the fuck is this guy's problem? Do we talk about Bring Her Back? Wait, I haven't seen that, but I heard it's good.

Bring her back. I think it's one of those movies that's good that contains I mean, I'm not a huge horror movie person, but it literally contains the single worst thing I've ever seen on. Yeah. Okay, well then you haven't seen Terror Fyre 3. No, no.

I've seen shit like that. It's not, in that, it's not campy. It's just the worst thing I've ever seen. Oh, man. I don't, I don't, I don't think of that bad. I am into horror, but, like, lately, because the world is horror, I've been having a harder time, like, watching. I become, like, the girl who needs her boyfriend to watch a horror movie

because I'm so unsettled. So I'm like, someone needs to be in the room with me that knows what's happening. happening in the movie that I can just, like, hide in. I will say, bring her back also, it's kind of not exactly a horror. It's kind of a supernatural thriller. It's not like a jump scares movie. It's just very matter of factly, this possessed kid does just the worst thing I've ever seen. Oh, no.

Yeah. And you see the exercise. Wait. Do you mean, like, leaving in the middle of a comedy show? They wouldn't. Hey. Never. I already did.

my time, I'm out. Did he run the light? That's crazy. All right. You can find us on Twitter and Blue Sky at Daily Zekeyes, Red, The Daily Zekeyes, on Instagram.

And with Miles out, Andrew, sounds like you've been listening to some music. Is there a song that you think people might? might enjoy? I mean, I think my favorite song from this May Martin album, I Am a TV, is called Big Bear. It's just got very weird, charming lyrics in it that I enjoyed. And the album, I guess, is sort of like alt country, queer alt country-ish sort of vibes. That might be inaccurate. I just don't know music that well.

But, yeah, this song, Big Bear. This is a rap album. Yeah, that's the. queer part. Yeah. All right. We will link off to that in the footnotes.

Have you overlooked at a piece of abstract art or music or poetry and thought, that's just a bunch of pretentious nonsense?

That's exactly what two bored Australian soldiers set out to prove during World War II when they tricked the literary world with their intentionally bad poetry, setting off a major scandal. We break down the truth, the lies, and the poetry in between on hoax, a new podcast hosted by me, Lizzie Logan. And me, Dana Schwartz.
