Turner. A smell of hot dog beef perfume. Oh, God. Bar is hot like a chef at night. It goes on and... The hot dog beef perfume one is just iconic. Hot dog beef perfume needs. Yes.

Oh, my God. That's from at Russell Housefield. Thanks, Russell. That truly got me out of bed this morning. Is that, are you wearing hot dog beef perfume? Oh, you know it. What a lovely scent. It's a tie-in. Well, Jamie, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of our favorites, one of your favorites, a stand-up comedian, writer, producer, podcaster, who you know from lady to lady. She's performed everywhere from a basement in Whitesburg, Kentucky

to the stages of the Kennedy Center. It's Brandi Boser! Beep, beep, beep! Purr, purr, purr! Hey! Brandi, you're a fine girl. What a good wife you would be. I'll just sing the actual song from my name.

Shatner style. Nobody wrote one for me! That's fine. Holy shit. Shatner style. Just like real meaningful. Brandy, you're a fine girl. Yeah.

What a good wife you would be. I'm a filthy sailor and I like me boat more than you. And you'll deal with it because most men are bad. What a time the 70s were where you could just have like a weird little sea shanty song i know that was like a charted yeah really good charts yeah charted yeah oh yeah yeah looking brandy by looking glass is a pretty big deal big song yeah they're they're a one-hit wonder but um and i've listened to the rest of looking glass's albums to be like, is there anything else here? And the answer is no. Any other gems?

Are all of their songs about a forgotten time of people living in sea villages? It feels like it. Yeah, I wish it had been more of a concept album. But no, I think it was just lewds is what was happening at the time. Right. Yeah, I never did lewds. I think lewds is what was happening at the time. Right. Yeah. I never did lewds.

I think lewds were like gone by the time I was doing drugs. But like, is that the explanation for the 70s? And like, because like there was also like a bunch of Led Zeppelin albums around that same time that were like taking place in like pagan times. Yes. Partially. place in like pagan times yes partially i'm just wondering like was there something about lewds and just like mentally existing in a different time i think probably i don't fully know what a lewd did is it like a is it an upper or a downer or a way downer a way downer yeah it's the one i only know it from wolf of wall street, where he can't stand up.

Yeah, that's the best scene in the whole movie. I learned about Quaaludes when I used to be creating a really vast background story to my dog. I wrote in some villains for him called the lewd dudes. wrote in some villains for him called the lewd dudes the lewd dudes were always after him because he had a a capsule full of lewds in his backyard and the lewd dudes were jonesing for it but they're but they're downers so if the lewd dudes are operating at full capacity you know they're moving pretty slow they're not very viable opponents yeah just the easiest people to evade like they take zombies and they're like, slow zombies, too fast. We need to slow that down a little bit. Put that on extra easy.

Nice. A drug time capsule is an interesting idea. I guess not all drugs would hold up very well, but at least lewds, I think, were pharmaceutical, right? But at least lewds, I think, were pharmaceutical, right? Yeah, I think that they had a pretty good shelf life. And even I feel like if you want lewds bad enough, you'd be willing to take a chance of having a sour lewd or whatever. Yeah, yeah, of course. Yeah. All right.

Well, that's all we're talking about today is Luke. Brandy, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, a couple of things we're talking about today. There is something going around called the 15-minute city conspiracy theory. I mean, it's just the 15-minute city is an idea. And then it is being turned into a conspiracy theory on the right. And I just want to talk about how great this idea could be and just how dumb the response is from the internet. Bad job, internet.

Do better. We're going to talk about the Supreme Court student loan hearing. Maybe. I don't know. I don't understand any of this shit. I feel like generally supreme court stuff is like people just like talking themselves down a weird like rabbit hole of like linguistic reasoning that doesn't totally like there's this thing called the major questions doctrine that is like this whole thing is now hinging on and it's the supreme court being like if it's a big enough deal, we don't have to listen to anyone is essentially the idea. But they have like somehow given it like legal precedent. So I don't know. Well, we might talk about that. We'll see how we feel. live action movie and it is the first of these animated live action disney remakes that i'm actually kind of interested in so we'll talk about that we'll talk about chris rock doing a live

special on netflix because netflix is just fully becoming they're like what about live television hear us out here well for a second you were saying saying Chris Rock was Peter Pan, and I was intrigued. Intrigued by that version. I know. It would be intriguing. We might get to Mark Wahlberg. It seems like everyone just remembered that Mark Wahlberg is a piece of shit all at once. We might even talk about that.

We're entering the Mark Wahlberg 40-day challenge, otherwise known as Lent. He went on the today show and the lower third during a segment in which he was absolutely talking about lent was labeled the mark walberg 40 day challenge and i fucking hate mark walberg and that's the greatest thing i've ever heard that's so great it did is he branding it as such because he is like america's top catholic like but amazingly when the pope came to philadelphia they were like mark walberg should introduce the pope and he did that's who that's who america came up with what a fucking he's such a he's such a horrible person and yet yet his rebrand of Lent.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty powerful. Any specifics? Or he's just like, you got to not eat meat on Fridays or whatever? I honestly didn't watch the full segment. What? How did you resist? I don't like hearing him talk, Jack. I don't like what he has to say. But I do like that he wakes up at three in the morning.

It just seems like exactly as unhinged as you would think. But the culture has chosen to love him anyways. And now I start waking up at 2.30 in the morning just to make sure that I'm awake when Mark Wahlberg wakes up so he doesn't have one over on me. Well, yeah, because you want to be Ted's favorite friend. Always. Of course. well yeah because you want to be ted's favorite friend always of course yeah i did google uh mark walberg 40 day challenge and just a picture of him with the uh black friday or ash sorry ash wednesday it's been a minute since i've done any of that shit i was like wait which one is it

well i do the ashes on my head for Black Friday. Yeah, yeah, me too. Personally, yeah. Just to get ready. It's my war paint. Well, it confuses people just enough that you can slip in for that TV deal. You know what I mean? That's right. You know, they're like, wait, what time of year is it?

But he looks just annoyed in a black cross on his forehead. It's great. He always looks annoyed, exasperated. Just his resting face. Yeah. All right. So all of that, some of that, maybe, exasperated. Just his resting face. Yeah. All right. So all of that, some of that, maybe, I don't know, maybe more. But first, Brandi, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history?

I mean, within the last five minutes, I have Googled Quaaludes and Mark Wahlberg. But before that, this, so it's been raining in Los Angeles. Mark Wahlberg. But before that, this, this, so it's been raining in Los Angeles and I, as I was stuck at home, like in the background,

just as white noise, I put on the, the bald Eagle cams that are happening in big bear currently. So as I've just been watching them for several days, I've just been Googling bald Eagle facts because I just, here's the thing. I want to relate all of my underrated, overrated.

All of it is, all of it is about the Eagles. I just need to put it all out there because here's the thing. I want to relate all of my underrated, overrated. All of it is, all of it is about the eagles. I just need to put it all out there because here's the thing. These eagles, they're doing it. They're amazing. They're very great birds. They're getting pelted with snow up there and overrated comment sections

because I do not need people telling these eagles how to eagle like they know any better, which is why I went out of my way to like google a bunch of eagle facts because there's people that are like they're big these two eagles are laying on two eggs trying to hatch them and everyone thinks if they go to get a fish that their eggs are freezing and they're going to die and are telling these eagles that they don't know how to be eagles i it's awful there awful. There's people in the comment section being like,

these eagles suck at sitting on eggs. Yeah. It sounds like relationship TikTok. Like, or like, or any parenting video I've ever seen where they're like, nope, there's no way.

Wouldn't be me. Or like, you don't love your husband. They're, but they're bullying the eagles who could not possibly receive their feedback. Yes, they're putting it all on the eagles. And there are people, so the eagles' names are Jackie and Shadow,

which are two very different-vibed names. Yeah, wow. Definitely two different people got to name those. Yeah, exactly. Is Jackie the male eagle or Shadow? She is the lady. Jackie is the lady shadow oh that's like a normie girl that marries a goth i know my husband's shadow exactly and here's the thing like jackie will be on the nest for like hours on end and then she will get hungry and go get a fish and then everyone will yell at her. But then Shadow will come in

and he will sit on the eggs for like five minutes and everyone's like, oh my God, what a great husband. He's the best bird. People are losing, people are putting so much onto these eagles and I'm like, they're eagles. They know what to do. Leave them alone.

This is not a gendered thing. This is not, I'm sorry your husband left you. That is not Shadow's problem. I left you that is not shadow's problem i'm sorry shallow shadow is paying his alimony i'm sorry he's not fucking the waitress down the street instead like i don't know it's wild i love the idea of anyone of any gender watching this dynamic and being like why can't my spouse be more like Shadow, like the eagle? That's fully what is happening online. It's amazing.

There's a woman named Sandy that is writing like daily updates on these eagles. And like a couple of days ago, she had to be like, you know, the negativity in the comments is not helping the eagles. They know how to eagle better than us. It is our job just to observe what's happening fuck yes sandy yes so good for her yeah like and also shadow loves me yeah shadow's an incredible lover and you couldn't possibly understand you couldn't possibly understand him that's amazing. Truly insane. What is so wild?

It's wild. I did not think it was going to get this deep, but I've just been watching people just have brain worms about eagles that are just being beautiful and just hatching eggs. It's fine. These eggs don't hatch. They're going to cancel the eagles. Right.

Well, maybe if they've been eagling a little bit different that wouldn't be happening oh god i am gonna watch this hearing stuff like this always scares me because i'm like oh if if a couple things go wrong in my life i could be that commenter you know like of course i thought you were to say you could be that eagle just like on a live video feed parenting. If I choose the wrong potion when the witch shows up at my house, that could be me. That's pretty scary. Yeah. It's really wild.

What is something you think is underrated? Oh, I mean, just like Sandy's. She's just not getting the due that she deserves, I think. Sandy's. Yeah, Sandy's recaps. Sandy's eagle the due that she deserves, I think. Sandy's. Yeah, Sandy's recaps. Sandy's eagle recaps deserve more than they're getting because they don't have a comment section. I think people

are just, only are interested in parts of the internet where their voices can be heard and not just reading and learning. Because here's the thing. Shut up to Sandy. At first, like this eagle, Jackie was sitting on the nest and she was getting pelted with snow and I was like, oh God, is she in trouble? And then I Googled and I saw that actually eagles have several layers of feathers that keep them extremely warm.

And their basic body temperature is 105 degrees. And they thrive in snow. And I was like, oh, OK, so she's fine. As opposed to being like, somebody help her. Just Google a fact once. Underrated fax. Why won't somebody do something? I know.

Oh, evolution did, it turns out. Yeah. They always seem to be in fairly inhospitable territory. Yeah. Like, they're, like, on mountains and shit. Yeah, they live in Alaska and stuff. They're fine in Big Bear. Right.

Yeah, they're chilling. But it's all these, it's just all L.A. people being like, that looks so cold. It was 50 here the other day, so I can identify. I know. She doesn't have a fashion scarf. What will she do? What if the eagle was wearing an infinity scarf? Maybe if she had done that, the eggs would have hatched a little bit faster. Exactly. if she had done that, the eggs would have hatched a little bit faster. I do have to give a shout out to the name Shadow

because there was a DJ named Shadow Stevens when I was young who did like he was like adult contemporary Casey Kasem. And that name always stuck with me as like very over the top

but like kind of dope. Shadow Stevens. So I i'm gonna go ahead and say shadow is an underrated name to give your eagle or uh child or your dj or your dj yeah i think it's an overrated name for a dog uh there's a lot of dogs named Shadow. But what about a son? And that is a powerful... I would like to meet more Shadows than Brashtons going forward. So people can, you know, fix that. Did you really hear the name Brashton? Yeah.

In the wild? Yelled at a kid in a subway like four years ago. Brashton. And I was like, Brashton? You couldn't decide between Brandon and Ashton? Just... We don't need mashup names. Overrated mashup names. Just pick one. Stick to your decision. Trust yourself. You're making an indecisive child from the start. Brashton is a very strong decision. That's just like, they need to be a snowboarder or a professional surfer or nothing.

That's it. There are certain names where just like, well, their fate is sealed. I guess. I guess Shadow would be one of those as well. So maybe I should shut the fuck up on telling people to name their kids Shadow. So is like Merlin. Like there's. Merlin.

Man. You can't just name someone Merlin. They have to be a music teacher or live in the woods a baby named Merlin is really wild I honestly baby Merlin I don't hate that idea

but it is a very kind of a scary thing to do to a child yeah then they just go with Merle to like kind of whatever their parents don't want them to do. Yeah. Yeah.

All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about the 15-Minute City and other stuff. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed. Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films

and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed will be more than an exploration. It's a vital revelation aimed at ensuring these types of abuses never happen again. Listen to Forgive Me For I Have Followed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120.

She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything?

You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm.

Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning.

In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And yeah, so you may have noticed online if you're terminally online that there's been a lot of talk about 15 city uh the 15 minute city concept lately which it's just a like urban planning term but according to the internet it is a dystopian plot to enslave the masses. The idea is pretty hard to argue with. It's that people should be within a roughly 15-minute walk or bike ride from the things they need, like food, schooling, and health care. That way, people aren't forced to drive everywhere and further destroy the planet. It's an idea that's been popular in urban planning circles for a long time. It's become a key part of some countries' political

policies. Like in Paris, they have a mayoral candidate who based her 2020 re-election campaign on a plan to create 15-minute cities but some some people are responding to this by claiming that it will create like sci-fi districts where people will be fined for leaving and it's just like oh they've just resorted to fiction to make it like kind of scary which i i think is because it's this is like a powerful idea and it's also very non-profitable or like goes against the grain of like the modern kind of capitalist ethos where you know you just like organize things based on whatever is going to make the most money. But I think that if we keep pushing with this idea, it will become enormously popular. Because just think about all my favorite parts of dystopian movies. They really come back to, and I've said this before, but it's really a fantasy about having a walkable city.

Like, that's what dystopian movies are about. It's like, man, like, the most, like, iconic scenes from I Am Legend, the ones that I remember are not, like, the zombie ones. They are him playing golf, like, walking down the middle of the street in Times Square and, like, a deer, like, running by him. Or, like, The Walking Dead, like, the most iconic image is them, like, walking into a city on an abandoned highway and, like, just there being no cars. And I just think our imagination, like, craves a world without traffic and cars more than people realize.

And just, like, how much this would, I don't know, like, just make, service i mean i guess it doesn't really resolve making these like services more affordable for people but like walkable cities just and having access to things nearby is like their access is such a huge issue it's so i mean i guess i'm not surprised that the backlash has been is coming from where it's coming from and is being like put in that way. But it's just so like, I don't know, anytime a simple, useful concept like this that would also just be like lovely to argue against. It feels like there's so much internal contradiction because like i think like a lot of like super capitalists are always like oh we need to return to something which this would be it would be

villages yeah like exactly communities but they're like well not that kind of return the like things should still be far away and like you know poor neighborhoods shouldn't have access to basic things and blah blah blah blah it's so wild because like so i live in i live in eagle rock here in los angeles and like my my town like is a little walkable city i barely leave i can walk to anything or ride my bike to basically anything i need i got a chuck cheese yeah oh i can get to that it's less than a mile for me i got a chucky cheese less than a mile for me. I got a Chuck E. Cheese less than a mile. That's the dream. That's the American dream for everybody. Is it the Burbank Chuck E. Cheese that's right by the Kmart? No, no, no. The one in Eagle Rock that's next to the Target and next to the fish

market. It's great. But like it, it's amazing too, because everybody is like very like involved and like wanting all these businesses to thrive. We all know the people that work there like people i'm like friends with my neighbors like i feel like i have an actual community and like other parts of the city i've lived in i haven't had that and it's like it's it's great there's nothing wrong with this it's it's the way that you should be it's live live locally i i went over to silver lake last night for the first time in like months because i was like oh i guess I could go eat somewhere else. Why not? And so what have you done now that they like put a tracking bracelet on you

and don't let you leave your district? Because that's what... I mean, that is what they're trying to do. Yeah, right? Clearly. But that, yeah, some extremists have misinterpreted the idea. The plan merely gives people the freedom to live locally,

does not force them to do so. But Jamie, it's a really good point have misinterpreted the idea the plan merely gives people the freedom to live locally does not force them to do so but jamie it's a really good point about like returning to something because that does seem to be the the thing that the right always wants to do but it's like a very specific period that didn't actually really exist but like it's in their mind it's like how the 1950s and early 1960s were right with like a bunch of houses that look the same and everybody driving to work. Everyone had a transatlantic accent. Like, yeah, that never happened. this novelty that only rich people could afford. And they were wildly unpopular because people were like, you keep running over our kids, rich people.

Like you're just driving way too fast. So like there were all these pushes by cities to make it illegal to make cars that went over like 20 miles per hour. And the politicians and car companies conspired to like cram this poison pill into our world and now we have this like world that is completely like gridded off by you know cars and streets and like we just like you know my kids can't play outside of the house without me worrying they're going to get run over by a car like we're prisoners like on our own blocks because we're hemmed in by roads and i just i think it like weighs on us like metaphysically more than we

realize because we just don't we we just want to be able to like run free you know for sure for sure well and it's wild too because it's like so many like when you drive through like small town america and stuff like most small towns have a main street where everything is right and like you know you can drive or you know to there and then walk and do whatever you need to even if it's a kind of a big area like it's it's it's it's it's extremely stupid to have a problem right i mean the only the only specific i mean i would have like more specific questions about like how this would look and like how i i don't know i mean i i understand why there's questions about it but this angle of like interrogating it is so disingenuous

where i would be more afraid of like a rick caruso kind of solution where it's like well every neighborhood is a very specialized mall now and like only certain people are allowed access to it but it's like the idea that as it's being presented it's not specific enough to even like i mean those are just like questions i would have yeah yeah no exactly it's like you still want your mom and pops i think maybe there's something to people like not being like i don't how dare you take the choice of going to all these different places away from me and it's like no one's doing that they just want right some to be a lot easier to get to and then maybe that's just the one you go to it's nice to be a local at a place right are you guys like how do you have like a cashier anywhere that like is like

hey how you doing or like recognizes you guys it's the best yeah i got to introduce my friends to my bodega guy this week and it rocks yeah he's really gassy up i wasn't expecting it it was awesome that's amazing, it's great. a big part of it and it will be very bad for poor areas like like with anything but of course the current situation is already bad for poor areas and i don't know there was like this moment during the pandemic where new york city was like maybe we should just not have cars because it's like really nice in manhattan when like there there aren't cars and like all these streets are walkable and i'm sure there was some massive concerted effort by the you know local commerce like whatever to to push back on that but just feels like i don't know i i think people want this more

than we realize like if there if there was just like a no car like a big sprawling no car like neighborhood in the middle of any city like it would become like such a fun place to like be be a part of like any city cities where there's like just walk streets like that those become so much better than like places you want to be more than just strobes, like street, street road combinations that are just like, that's, that's a actual like urban planning term where they,

that rocks. Yeah. Well, it's, it's like a massive, yeah. Me and Roman were, what was Roman saying?

He was saying the funniest thing the other day. No, it's the it's this idea that like American cities like have these things like practically like this should be a street like just given where it is that there are houses along it but they turn it into a road or vice versa I forget like which is which but like one one is like, you know, with speed limits like above 50 miles per hour in a residential area constantly yeah yeah yeah there's just like no reason that this shouldn't be a conversation that people are open to i feel like like obviously there are i think there are like plenty of like red flags of like how would

this be implemented to like best serve everybody but that but it's like you've got fucking jordan peterson like against this as like a concept or whatever you're well i don't know it's not yeah that's that is who popularized the panic he tweeted about the tyrannical 15 minute city and it soon became like this thing i think the people that have problems with it are the ones whose bodega guys don't like them i think right if your local people are like and they're not like they don't want to deal with you on a regular basis then i think you having to deal with that same person and maybe have to like change your behavior and be slightly more agreeable is extremely offensive to you so disliked in their own communities, don't want more accessible communities. People start throwing tomatoes at them.

Yes, exactly. Right, yes. We will be bringing back the stockades, unfortunately, and we'll just be throwing tomatoes at Jordan Peterson for 45 minutes a day. That will be his job. I would love that. Let's get that at of store the americana

open uh our writer uh jm was researching this and he said this is how he found out that he unfortunately lives very close to jordan peterson and also jordan peterson lives 15 minutes away from anything he'd ever need like a 15 minute walk away from anything he'd ever need so of course of course yeah yeah yeah but he hasn't tipped anybody in like 15 years so everybody gives him bad service yeah it's like well what do you of course it's like just i don't know just go back to letting your daughter feed you meat like yeah feed you meat and well it wasn't quaal, but it was something else that put him in the corner. Meat and lewds. The best way to start the day, baby.

The 70s. And Virginia Slims. The three major food groups of the 1970s. And a gallon of milk. That's right. What are you, my dad? He was on benzos, unfortunately. Not your dad, Jordan Peterson.

No. The conspiratorial panic over this theory is manifesting in the real world in Oxfordshire in the UK, where they were like planning to filter traffic down to be like make their city more livable, and like a lot of people showed up being like no 15-minute neighborhoods like with signs saying no 15-minute neighborhoods how long did it take them to get there yeah and then in toronto a mcmansion developer an anti-lockdown person is running for mayor and claiming that the 15- minute city idea is part of a larger conspiracy by a global elite to limit personal freedom again this all all like i'm just wanting us to go back to a time when people were like hey rich people stop running over our kids when that was common sense. Now that's a strictly

ideological... Yeah. And also, he's a real estate developer, that guy. Of course he is. That's so depressing. Supreme Court,

what do we think? Fans, thumbs up or thumbs down? The Supreme Court, we love them, don't we, folks? They have awesome merch. Yeah. Did you say awesome merch? Yeah. The last time I was in Portland, I went to the Girlboss store. I don't remember what it was called.

And they got a whole shelf of RPG merch. You know. Yeah, R.B.G. merch, you know. Wee! Yeah, great. My favorite brand. Yeah, I think, you know, obviously we should abolish it. But what hijinks are they up to today? Well, they're deciding whether the government is allowed to forgive student loan debt or, you know, forgive a portion of student loan debt as Joe Biden was hoping to do. you know, forgive a portion of student loan debt as Joe Biden was hoping to do. And so there are two cases that they're looking at. One was brought by two private citizens who are arguing that the

administration unfairly excluded some, including those who have commercially held loans from debt cancellation. So be good. Yeah. Like that's and also that the administration pushed it through without allowing for a period of public comment. Yes. Yeah. That's fair. Yes. Let's talk about that. The other challenge is from six Republican led states, Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas and South Carolina, claiming that the Department of Education doesn't have the authority to cancel student loan debt.

cancel student loan debt and so i mean people who understand legal stuff are like it doesn't like it should be a question of like how this is harming them like that's supposed to be the first question that gets asked is like okay you're bringing this case how is this affecting you but instead because we have this super conservative Supreme Court, it's fallen under the major questions doctrine, which is just a legal doctrine invented by Republicans that allows the court to tighten its leash on government agencies in matters of, quote, critical political and economic significance. So basically, the court no longer defers to the government if it has a major question. That sounds like a lazy,

like bad B-Marvel movie point. The major questions doctrine. You're like, yeah, totally. I think Marvel would have workshopped it even. I guess Golden Age Marvel would have workshopped it a little bit more. Let's punch that up a little bit. part of the brief written by Republican states challenging the program. And so far during the hearings, it's been invoked repeatedly by conservative justices like John Roberts, who likened Biden's student loan cancellation to Trump's plan to deport the dreamers.

Again, like where who's being harmed here? Is it? But I would at least like to hear them say who they think is being harmed because it's rich people who are getting the interest payments, I guess. Loan sharks, yeah. Yeah, it's the corporations who have the bundled loan debt and bought it for billions of dollars five years ago or whatever. Yeah, but they've probably already made this point with the interest. debt you know and like bought it for billions of dollars five years ago or whatever yeah that they've probably already made this point with like with the interest it's all just been fake money that they've just like been pulling from people anyway if i was friends with any of these paralegals because they so stream court justice says they've got a team that works around them which means they have some relatively young people that work near them and if you know anybody that knows anybody that is

friends of the paralegal how about we blackmail them to blackmail the supreme court justices to push this through and maybe everything else too but i think this is a way in because like now they're messing with your money yeah right it's my theory like i think it's we just need to like there's bad photos of these people out there. Let's get them. Get them. Let's get them. The young people who work for Brett Kavanaugh are probably the worst, most boring. But yeah, they probably do have like weird.

But somebody knows them and has a bad photo of them. This is a it's all a pyramid scheme to get to taking down the Supreme Court. supreme court definitely photographs of them holding a leash that has a human at the other end i'm sure like from some fret hazing or something yeah let's get those photos god who knows what yeah what what the cavanaugh employees are sitting on it's so it's like, I mean, obviously, this is extremely frustrating from a student perspective, too. But it's just like a continued. My my younger brother has a ton of student debt and is like, not only, you know, frustrated to see this conversation, like start and stop and start and stop in so many ways, but it becomes like a whole second job to have to uh like try to figure out what the fuck is going on what you qualify for versus what you don't because like when i don't know like

we've all had student loans when you're getting student loans you're not really i mean in the same way like you're not really taught how to do your taxes or other shit where you're getting completely fucked um and it's like just not understanding how it works with student loans. It's like I had no idea what the difference between a private and a public like I was just like, these are what they're offering me and I'm supposed to go to school or like that's what that's a whole separate issue. But it's so like it's so frustrating to see like students and people, you know, who are way beyond student age who are still sort of like hampered by these loans trying to figure out what they even fucking qualify for. I mean, it's and unfortunately, I mean, like the Biden administration does seem like they're making an honest effort to like push this through. It's just it's nuts.

Yeah, it's insane. It's like I remember being 18 in college and i signed up for a credit card because they gave me a t-shirt that said the price is wrong bitch and i it messed up my credit for years but i wanted that t-shirt you know like that person should not be i should be affected for years yeah there's like people outside like uh just outside walking around colleges signing kids up for credit cards. And you got like a funny t-shirt if you signed up for it. And it was like, oh, that's the same way you basically are picking student loans.

That's the amount of thought that's really going into it. Is this how busted Tees was profitable for so long? They were like tied to a major credit card corporation. I wouldn't be surprised. That phrase is wrong't be surprised i wish i still had it and that sure cost me a lot and then they put you in a situation where the price was wrong yeah you know i know it was yeah that's what they were about to do yeah exactly it's just more profitable for them to make our day-to-day lives as confusing as possible like the the fact that we have the tax paying like mess that we have and like every other country is just like we just send you a bill like and then you pay it and if you have

questions you can ask them but like you you don't have to do the bureaucratic work that is required to pay taxes in our country. Like that's kind of great. That's our job. understand um like what the timeline on it it looks like this is just sort of kicking the kicking the ball further down the field sort of yet again on this issue yeah but it's so like it it's like a lot of i guess like right-leaning legislation and like centrist legislation as well it just is so short-sighted yeah you know because it's like sometimes i do feel like the american government and definitely the supreme court truly does act like there's only like 11 more habitable years on earth. And that's why they would make these decisions, because it's like, well, you know, on a long enough timeline, then it's like you're actively discouraging the public to get more education. Ding, ding, Jamie. You're just trying to make you're you want

a whole country of goofs and then and and then you know constantly complain uh that your country's falling behind in um you know whatever it's all so contradictory and ridiculous well yeah and then he put it on on the person instead of, like, any institutions. And it's like, you know, you're shamed for not doing the work or not giving more. You should have gone to school. Yeah. It benefits them to keep education as restricted to only their wealthy children as possible.

Right. Like, that's what they are in it for. Right. And then anything like this also is, like, a wealth transfer like the dying like baby boomer generation who like still run Fortune 500 companies and like major banks to young people. keep all the money for his end decision making as for as long as possible because their whole, you know, infrastructure they've built for making money is contingent on fucking us over and destroying the earth that we're all going to have to live on. And baby boomers and their parents like benefited so significantly from better public education options and from more accessible college options that were affordable. Well, you know, yeah, burn the Supreme Court down.

Yeah, please. Literally or figuratively. At this point, I don't really care. Get rid of it. It's got to go.'s gotta go worried about it yeah brent kavanaugh compared biden's plan to help people plagued by crippling debt to truman sending troops into korea and bush's post 9-11 abuses of power which by the way he must have been on board with like i just yeah but yeah yeah those those are the same thing. Love to hear what the old rapist is thinking. He's truly like that. We talked about the story a while back that there is like baby powder. Johnson & Johnson baby powder was giving people cancer the whole time because it contained talcum powder. And the reason they were able to keep doing that and evade any like sanctions or,

you know, attention of the EPA and, you know, consumer protect protection services is because they had they were spending millions and millions of dollars. They were paying this one lobbyist four point five million dollars a year in or something really crazy like that a year in the 1970s and that lobbyist was brett cavanaugh's dad so like wow it's just a it goes deep it goes deep like the there it is a generational like cancer on this country that is just like yeah disgusting yeah the worst the worst Yeah. Disgusting. Yeah. The worst. The worst. Woohoo! Woohoo! The worst! Yay! Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about something less serious. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed. Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted,

just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed will be more than an exploration. It's a vital revelation aimed at ensuring these types of abuses never happen again. Listen to Forgive Me For I Have Followed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you.

Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session, 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that?

You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from blumhouse television iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts it was december 2019 when the story blew up in green bay wisconsin former packer star kabir baja b amila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite.

I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church, and then a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like i was living in north korea but worse if that's possible listen to spiraled on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts And we're back. And we talked on Trending, I guess it was yesterday or two days ago, about how there's new character images for The Little Mermaid.

And I have some grave concerns about how this movie is going to work when it comes to the undersea creatures who the original movie relies on to be adorable and something that fans empathize with. And they released the fan art of Sebastian the crab, and it is a crab. is just a crab it's just a scary crab with like eyes on the end of a stalk and like no mouth and i mean like you would think that they would have like learned from the lion king reboot that like actual photorealistic animals don't emote in a way that people can recognize yeah like no it just doesn't naturally it's against nature

jamie that movie is one of the 10 most profitable movies of all time or that doesn't mean that it was because of that i know but they did not learn that lesson from that movie, even though, yes, that was my entire experience. Nature documentaries are much better at making me give a fuck about an animal's welfare than this, where it's just like you have to keep the thing's head still so that we can see its lips moving along with the words. It just really didn't work and

i feel like undersea creatures and particularly crabs are like very poorly suited for my ability at least to be like yeah oh i fuck with that what that character is saying like i've never known anyone to have a pet crab like it's not like a hermit crabs, but like, no one's ever had like a blue crab as a pet. They're scavengers of the sea. It's just a bug. Yeah, it's a bug. I feel bad because it's like, you know, I love Halle Bailey. But it's like, there's no way this movie is going to be, it's going to suck.

And then everyone's going to say that it sucks because they're racist and not because these movies suck. Yeah. Right. Melissa McCarthy looks like she's in I party costumes. I also don't understand how these movies look so cheap because they cost so much money to make. They're so dark. I don't know. I did think it was funny that James Cameron, I think he said in an interview, because he's

just the meanest person. He's the biggest bitch in the world. He's just like, it looks like shit. He's like, you want to see real Underwaters? Come see Teen Sigourney Weaver in my perverted little movie, which I did. What did you think of that,

by the way? I know you are an Avatar fan. I guess. I couldn't tell you three things that happened in that movie now. I know that a lot of it really bothered me. And then I know that whole sections made me cry. I don't know. The highs were high. The lows were abysmal yes um not enough zoe saldana but also not enough that big turtle whale that only spoke in papyrus yeah that was really cool when that's a lot of really cool shit when the turtle whale said i can't talk about it it's too painful i was laughing i was crying that was cinema to me but also a white kid with dreads named spider didn't love that same villain as the first movie didn't love that but his performance was so captivating

no i'm not gonna be mean to a child actor i had no razzie's takes here i'm not going to be mean but yeah james cameron i think did say that he saw the trailer to the new little movie and that the underwater photography looked like shit. I love how catty he is. That's amazing. Yeah. So they, they, they have one coming.

They like, even usually they kind of do these, knock these out one at a time, but they've also just released the official trailer for Peter Pan pan and wendy which is the studio's latest live action adaptation and it's you know i i was immediately like i don't want to see this why why the fuck does this exist but it's made by the guy who made the green knight did you guys see the green knight which one's the wild that he's doing it's so fucking weird that's kind of cool yeah like the green knight is this like strange like meditative like weird like acid trip of a like

movie it like doesn't make any sense oh yeah definitely a child director. Perfect. Great. Yeah. Weird. He pitched it to Disney as The Revenant with Flying Kids. What? And also cited The Lighthouse as an inspiration. He also directed that weird, I thought pretty good, Pete's Dragon live action remake. So he has done Disney stuff before. David Lowery, right? Yeah, David Lowery. Yeah. He did like, I saw it when it came out. live action remake so he has done disney stuff before david lowry right yeah david lowry yeah he did like i saw it when it came out i feel like this was right before this was like pre

beauty and the beast so i feel like it was before they were like this is all we're gonna do now i don't think it was very successful but he made like kind of a weird pete's dragon reboot that i i remember liking but the green night, I mean that movie fucking rips. Yeah. So sexy. Yeah. It's great.

There's a scene where they're just like walking through the woods and like, then they're like a bunch of giant, like giant humans just started like walking through. And it's truly, yeah, I don't know. Just start like walking through and it's truly, yeah,

I don't know. It's a bizarre kind of trippy movie that like, there's no way Disney is going to let him do anything that cool with this, but of course that detail, like I was, I was ready to just count this out. And then, yeah, directed by David Lowery and the revenant with flying kids. The revenant is not my favorite movie, but like that juxtaposition, yeah, directed by David Lowery. And The Revenant with Flying Kids.

The Revenant's not my favorite movie, but that juxtaposition, bringing The Revenant into a Peter Pan movie and The Lighthouse, which is fucking perverted as hell. I'm excited. Well, yeah, I'm just excited. I hope Willem Dafoe is also in this movie yelling, Stop! Check it off! I hope that's what's constantly happening in this movie as well.

Jude Law's playing Captain Hook. Jim Gaffigan's playing Mr. Smee. This is going to be weird. This is going to be a mess. What a mess. By the way, Willem Dafoe just repeatedly coming in and saying,

Stop! Jack it off! would be pretty appropriate to a 1950s kid like british or actually it was i think it was said in like the 1800s which like there was a brief period in at least american history i don't i don't know that this traveled across the atlantic but where the primary concern of americans was like how to get kids to stop jerking off like there's like everyone like we can't have dance music because the kids are all gonna just start jacking off all the time and then like they invented like cornflakes to like keep kids from jacking off

graham crackers america the beautiful, baby. Yeah. So true, Jamie. So true. Try to be more patriotic these days. Yeah. Well, you nailed it. Thanks. And then there's a live Chris Rock special coming from Netflix where they're like, what if you like the stuff that you were seeing on the tv was like actually happening in the moment like wow what if what if i told you that uh but it's called selective outrage

it's just the latest chris rock hour that netflix is trying to like turn the whole thing into like a super bowl event there's going to be a pre-show with Leslie Jones and Jerry Seinfeld and also Matthew McConaughey and Paul McCartney for some reason. What? I was like, I'm in for Leslie Jones and I think that's it. Yeah. We're good here. Maybe drop off after that.

I'll give you Leslie Jones and Matthew McConaughey just because I would like to see her make him uncomfortable. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I feel like he generally in any room that would be a great showdown because he mcconaughey just because i would like to see her make him uncomfortable yeah oh yeah yeah that i feel like he generally in any room that would be a great showdown because he generally is like the person who's making people uncomfortable in any way with his just like weird woody harrelson stoner redneck energy and and his like vague political aspirations i think that i really started falling off the mcconaughey train when he started having vague political aspirations like no no

yeah i feel like his political aspirations were very similar to like andrew yang's like he could have been a member of the andrew yang party where it was like he could have been forward we're not doing left or right yeah but anyways the the big news if all of that was not eyeball grabbing enough for you it was just reported that chris rock will address the will smith slap incident for the first time in this special how many times do we need to hear about this? This is according to an anonymous source who I'm having a hard time believing is not a Netflix publicist. This is, yeah, I don't know. I don't know what people think he's going to say. but like that so like last year he performed the week after the oscars and tickets were like being sold for over 1700 because people were like oh shit it's good we're gonna hear the tea and then

like he didn't mention it because he's a stand-up comedian and not like a fucking town crier who just like comes out and talks about whatever you want him to yeah and like fans were really disappointed that he didn't just come out and upend the show and well i also don't know what they want him to say though it's like such a weird we've heard it that like doesn't make any sense take possible at this point too it's also like about to be the oscars again yes It's been a whole year. Whole year. And yet we still haven't healed, you know? America is healing, but I think this is the only thing that can truly heal America, is hearing from Chris Rock what he thought it was like when Will Smith slapped him. I had a real—Chris Rock was really kind of haunting me yesterday.

I don't really know why. But it was... Do you remember in Madagascar where his zebra character does a bit where he goes, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-circus? I don't know why that... That was on a loop in my head all day yesterday.

And I was starting to, like, dissociate. I gotta say, the weird thing that was in my head all day yesterday and i was starting to like dissociate i gotta say the weird thing that was in my head was come loft us up where we belong has anyone ever done that aka like that oh the song come lift us up where we belong but come loft us up where we belong i was like all right gang get on it get on the new month the it, folks. It's a new month. It's a new world. Circus. That's pretty fun. He says it's like circus, afro, circus, afro, polka dot, polka dot, polka dot, afro. I remember it so clearly.

There's some great moments of comedy hidden in children's films here and there. Oh, yeah. Fun, bright ones that aren't grim. Yeah. children's films here and there you know oh yeah fun bright ones that aren't grim yeah like and i i fully believe that chris rock uh just improvised that and then they had to turn oh for sure the worst i love when uh voice artists will like improvise something and then it becomes the worst week of an animator's life because they're like well i guess i gotta do whatever the fuck that was over again great yeah i I feel like the fifth funniest writer from the Harvard Lampoon probably didn't come up with that while they were writing the script. No, it's so simple.

So beautiful. Yeah. Too good. All right. Well, Brandy, such a pleasure having you, as always, on The Daily Zeitgeist. Great to be here. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff?

Yeah. You can find me in the audience of Will Smith's News, or Will Smith's News Special, Chris Rock's News Special, whatever. Will Smith will be there. I hope he shows up and he slaps the whole crew. I hope that's what happens.

That would be funny. You can find me on Twitter and Instagram at Brandazzle. I'm at Brandazzle here on TikTok. I'm trying to post reels and actually do it. Please follow me so I feel like it matters even though it doesn't.

I'm actually going to be on tour a bunch later this year. I'm going to be all over the Midwest in April. In April, I'm going to be in Minneapolis, Wisconsin, all over Indiana, Ohio, Pittsburgh, West Virginia. If you live in any of those places brandyposie.com will have all the tour deets and info and also if you use

bands in town you can find me and my tour dates on there. My podcast is called Lady to Lady. It comes out every single Wednesday forever and if you live in LA I have a show called Picture This that happens once every six weeks and it's comedians paired up with animators

and they draw your jokes during your set. Jamie did it recently and it was really fun. It's my favorite. Yeah. So yeah, fine. Google me. You'll find me. It's fine. And is there a tweet or work of media you've been enjoying? I actually watched it came out two years ago, but I watched

the Donut King documentary last night and it was real delightful. I'm not familiar. Oh, it's really great. It's about this Cambodian man named Uncle Ted that came over before the Khmer Rouge and basically opened, learned from the donut shops here how to make

donuts and then all of his family came over from Cambodia escaping and they opened all these donut shops all over for cambodia escaping and they opened all these donut shops all over la and it's basically like why we have so many donut shops here is because of this man basically just like giving a bunch of escaped cambodians an ability to make money and have careers and like that we they were have been so popular they've kept dunka donuts out for forever and they're just these massive, yeah, it's like a really beautiful story about why we have so many

Cambodian-owned donut shops in Los Angeles. And it's great. So, highly recommend. It's also Jamie Loftus' villain origin story. Because of the fact that there's not a lot of Dunkin' Donuts here. Dunk's was kept at bay. No, I've been meaning to watch that forever.

I'm really excited to see it. It's really good. There's a few twists in it that you're just like, damn, I didn't expect that to happen. But it's like, it will make you want to eat donuts, which is always great. Yeah. But it's beautiful. It's a great little documentary. Hour and a half.

Loved it. There's some content that just makes me too hungry. hour and a half. Loved it. There's some content that just makes me too hungry. There's a podcast, Doughboys, that I just can't listen to that if I'm not actively

about to go to a fast food restaurant. It makes me very hungry. Jamie! Wonderful having you. Where can people find you, follow you, and is there a work of media or tweet that you've been enjoying? I'll be here all week for crying out loud. Listen to the Bechtel cast.

We've got a bunch of fun live episodes coming out soon. We went on tour earlier this year. My website is fucking useless. If you want to know what I was up to in 2019, I guess you could go check it out. It's more of a time capsule than anything else. But I'm going on tour with You're Wrong About for most of the spring. And then going on a book tour at the end of the spring for my book Raw Dog, which is about hot dogs. And you should pre-order it.

It comes out. You need to pre-order it right now if you're listening to this. If you're hearing these words, go pre-order it. You will love it. You will love it. It's so good, you guys.

Your voice is so like clear it's just it's like if you've enjoyed a jamie loftus podcast before it is like that in prose form it's like you immediately became one of my favorite writers like it's just it's so good everybody needs to go uh bye right now hell yeah thank you so much i really uh i'm so i'm so grateful to go buy it right now. Thank you so much. I'm so grateful that you read it. We just released a new cover for it. And I'll offer as my media, because I have already formed an obsessive relationship with Goodreads,

the one thing I was told not to do. The book isn't out, but there's advanced reader copies that have been circulating and uh I I got this I wanted to share a little bit of a review that I got from a woman what I call her an ally I guess I guess not from a woman named Cheryl she said unfortunately I did not see much real humor in this book i am not familiar with jamie loftus humor but it seemed like most of what i suppose was intended to be humor was just vitriol from a very unhappy foul-mouthed lady the author also brought a lot of sexual innuendo into the book pretty coarsely while mostly sleeping alone although traveling with her partner which got my ass on that one since miss loftus thinks america is such a horrible place i would like to suggest she

take the money she received from this book and relocate maybe to russia i honestly do not understand why she was hired to write this it could have actually been a fun and informative look at hot dogs and then she um says that she doesn't trust anything i said about history because i'm a socialist so you know jack i'm glad you like the book but clearly it's not for everybody not for everyone like the cia cheryl is clearly the cia the cia pays attention to art and i that that feels like the cia paid somebody to review your book everyone in yeah everyone in the cia's initials are cia too so that makes sense that her name is cheryl cheryl yeah yeah amazing let's see a tweet i guess the media i'm enjoying is this like i really like

poker face have you guys watched poker face oh i still haven't watched it. I've watched the first two episodes. I just really like it. I really like Natasha Leone. I really like... I like Brian Johnson. He's great. I'm a basic bitch. I like me some Brian Johnson.

So yeah, you can... I feel like people know about Poker Face, but you can see that on cock.

people might be enjoying so for the listeners it's already march but for us on this side of the timeline it's the last day of february yeah aka black history month and uh they kind of shortchanged us on the number of days so i needed to commandeer the first of March for this track this is a song called P's and Q's by Chicago based artist Mick Jenkins produced by Kate Renata if you love lyricism and some raw emotion in your hip-hop throw this track on he puts as many words that begin with P and Q in this song as possible so there there's a whole pun going on there but there's a strong message behind it. It starts off at 10 with

the emotion, and it just kind of builds up into this nice, really cool thing, and there's some really cool guitars going on behind it. So check out this track. This is called Peace and Cues by Mick Jenkins, and you can find that song in the footnotes. Footnotes? The Daily Zeitgeist is a production of iHeartRadio. For more podcasts
