Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Drunk Ziting into the

Presidential Trendercade. That is courtesy of Manish, my favorite. into the presidential trendercade. That is courtesy of Manish. My favorite. They're great names in the Discord, but Manish is maybe my favorite to say.

I just like saying it. It's fun. My name is Jack. That over there, Will That Super Producer, Brian Jeffries! What's going on, everybody downtown swish i'm on fire kobe and it's not the shoes i'm literally on fire um it's very painful um my mic sounds nice brian uh I'm ready. I'm ready to record now. I want to record now, Jack. But yes, Manish was, of course, referring to the guy who T-boned the presidential motorcade.

This is not funny. Why are you laughing? That's not funny. There are worse pieces of news to wake up to from a bender but this has to be like one of the weirdest pieces of you know like assuming the person was blacked out but urge you know just to like wake up to the you know the realization that you're in jail for having t-boned the presidential motorcade just like wrong place wrong time uh also don't don't drink and drive but also begs the question of like you know with with all the money and resources spent on

with the the secret service like they're always that my understanding based off of movies is they're always casing like a five mile radius around the president and like they have everything locked down how the fuck did i assume they were like five intersections ahead clearing lanes and like making sure yeah how did a drunk guy just pull out think about it a drunk guy famously bad reflexes bad decision making no planning there was this wasn't a plan that we know of this could be the secret service just trying to let biden know that he can be got to yeah no i'm thinking back to movies like olympus has fallen and i'm like okay if you let a drunk guy through how are you gonna stop north korea right sending a baffling amount of uh soldiers and whatever the fuck was happening in that movie.

I'm very confused with this result. I never saw the Has Fallens. They're fun if you want to completely turn your brain off for two hours and not think critically about anything that's happened. I will say, have you seen the pictures from the accident? No, no. You're painting me a word picture right now.

Biden is out of the motorcade, and I haven't seen him look more alive and awake than I have in the pictures from this event. He is walking around with his eyes almost completely open. Like sewn open. Yeah. And he just seems like he's... You know the person who walks by an accident

and then is just a little too engaged with it and too excited to be there? That's kind of the energy he seems to have i'm just saying maybe this is what democrats should do before every major campaign stop they just shake his ass up a little bit you know this is literally insane they got the president out here standing on a corner yeah well again yeah right like none of this makes sense none of this makes sense at all this is the first move of like an 80s movie terrorist yeah you know like it's like all right so this guy is going to pretend to be drunk and then they're going to be like questioning the guy

and he's going to be like whoa like cartoon drunk you know hiccuping and then meanwhile hans and his buddies come through and kidnap the president. Oh, you mean Gruber. He's like over, yeah, Hans Gruber. Yeah, not Hans, our coworker. Yeah, it's questionable. Like, I think there's going to be some event

where we see like, oh, America, Olympus has fallen a long way from where it was at the height of empire. And like, now you can get to the president by like dropping a handful of banana peels on the street. You know, it's going to be more like Olympus is doodooed. It's diapy.

Yeah. It's, I don't understand how this could happen. They spend too much money for like a drunk guy to be able to just like completely fucking derail the motorcade yeah but anyways uh shout out to that you know and i'm sure he's gonna get hit with like a lot of charges um hopefully it's a wake-up call for that driver um same time doing a service for the nation by giving us a wake-up call about how bad the secret service is at protecting joe biden in particular you know they i feel like they aren't great with democratic presidents i'm'm just going to say there's that one in the sixties where they blew off

half his head in Dallas. Oh, Jack. Good. I'm going to find a way, Brian, you've been guessing for miles for like three days now. And I haven't mentioned the JFK assassination.

I got it. You did pretty sound resigned. Yeah, you did great, buddy. Yeah. Let's just, but it's, it's Christmas. Sound resigned. Yeah, you did great, buddy. We made it three episodes. It's Christmas. That's a Thanksgiving holiday subject.

All right, Christmas. Usually on tomorrow's episode, we talk about Christmas gifts. We ended up going long on me repeating shit about Home Alone that I've already recently said it's the end of the year folks. Uh, the lights are on. No one's home, baby. Um, fun episode tomorrow. I will say, uh, it's the Christmas, it's the annual Christmas fuck around, uh, episode, but, um, yeah, we didn't get to christmas present so i thought we

would take this opportunity to uh you know just talk about what was there a favorite christmas present christmas morning memory that you have walking down and there being oranges in the stocking or i don't know what fucking British people do. Um, I have this Christmas crackers and Christmas. You wake up and you get the Christmas crackers in there. You put the little crown on your head and all that stuff. Yeah, exactly. That's all they have is just the little tissue paper crown.

I like, Oh daddy, it's so magical. Um, so I, I was reminded, shout out to my dad that one year he do a Steve

job on my ass he do a oh yeah one more thing on my ass and I gotta say if you're doing a Christmas for someone you do a Steve job on their ass they're gonna remember that like we did presents and then he come through

and oh yeah one more thing Santa left like we did presents and then he come through and, Oh yeah. One more thing. Santa left a ping pong table over here in this other room that you haven't even like looked at that. You didn't even think Christmas present was going to be in. Um, I didn't even like ping pong.

That's still one of the most memorable Christmas gifts. Yeah. It ended up just being the gift of my dad beating me in ping pong for three years in a row i feel like your dad just got that for him exactly and played it off like like you got it for you no no no it's for jack it's for jack yeah the boy's gonna learn um but yeah i i like if you can, if you can Steve job that ass, uh, I highly recommend. Yeah. Yeah.

That's, that's pretty, that's pretty spectacular. Just size alone. Yeah. Because it's a big one. Yeah. Yeah. Like it's like, it's so big, it can't fit under the tree. Yeah.

You're gonna remember that. Oh yeah. And then, but like my most memorable ones is just like random toys. and then but like my most memorable ones is just like random toys like i gotta like something that now as a parent i realize is like the thing you get as you're going through the register it's like five dot like a plastic scuba diver and a plastic shark and like that but i still like remember playing with it around the christmas tree so i't know. Kids are stupid is the point of my thing. They're impressed by random stuff. So, just, you know, get them a bunch of random little shit.

And that's my Christmas message to you. Yeah, that's all I ever really remember getting for Christmas. It wasn't a big holiday for me. Especially after I stopped going to church when I was a kid. And yeah, like birthdays. That's where the big presents came for me. Yeah. Like the big memorable ones. But yeah, I'm basically a Grinch.

Yeah. You're competitive with Jesus Christ. You're like, not his birthday, my birthday. Yeah. Yeah. Why do I get not his birthday, my birthday. Yeah. Yeah. Why do I get presents on someone else's birthday? That's weird. Fucking stupid.

Yeah, even though most of Christmas is still, is stolen from Norse Yule mythology, as we'll talk about on tomorrow's, the Christianity aspects of it still come in and like make it less fun like the the fact that movies uh are as family focused and not you know more fun uh is is a testament to i don't know just just let let the people fuck on christmas is all i'm saying yeah there's a distinct lack of fuck yeah christmas films yeah and when they put the fucking christmas films it is iconic like the the mean girls uh dance thing or mariah coming through in that santa suit um, you know, whatever it is. Yeah, just stepped out of my house for five minutes and heard that song.

It's the way as soon as I left the house. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. 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.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president

was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate

a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. And we're back. or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. COVID has shot up ahead of the holidays, so if you're traveling, you know, be careful out there.

Stay safe out there. And Donald Trump has been removed from the ballot in Colorado temporarily. Oh, just one quick thing on the covid thing yeah i personally know some nasty motherfuckers out here who know they're sick and are still traveling so yeah i know jack already said be careful but be really extra careful because there's some people out here that don't give a fuck yeah and they are really like there's just a an overall feeling of shame around being sick now where people are just like not willing to admit it or they just really you know i've heard some other people being like don't even

approach me with some pandemic shit that shit's over yeah i've heard people i told you not to bring this up on mic this is stuff that i say in my private time off mic i don't need you airing my dirty laundry but yeah for real people are people are done with uh any any semblance of you know trying to be be safe so yeah yeah yeah all right um so yeah trump i feel like there's no way this lasts uh but it's always been my outside hope that the supreme court uses one of their the supreme court's actually the good guys the supreme court's actually on a normal one today uh you know that they they they overturned people's access to reproductive rights, but this would knock him off the ballot because he's clearly going to try to overthrow

the U.S. government and install himself as a dictator for life. While I understand the technical legal difficulties of it, it does feel like big picture it could make sense I know it's like against the law or whatever and they're the Supreme Court but

I don't know the arguments against it always feel like the bullshitty Supreme Court being like we just call balls and strikes, guys. I don't know who you think we are, but we're just making objective legal decisions

that is just complete horseshit. I think they're eventually just going to end up just using precedent to settle this, because if you look back at the case of Air Bud versus the nba

um yeah there is no there is no rule that says a dog can't play professional basketball or be president yeah or be president there's no rule that says a dog can't be president so uh yeah no law that says a fellowon can't run for president. Gotta let her run. Marvel dropped Jonathan Majors just hours after the guilty verdict. After a trial that lasted for three weeks and jury deliberation that lasted for two days, Jonathan Majors has been found guilty on charges of misdemeanor assault and harassment um and yeah there's just a ton of evidence that was released including photos of his victims injuries a horrifying story um obviously it's kind of

seems kind of distasteful for the conversation around this uh conviction to focus on the future of a movie franchise yeah about uh hot people in rubber jumpsuits but marvel uh quickly dominated the discourse when they announced that they were dropping him from the marvel cinematic universe just hours after he was found guilty um or like they could have been looking at the evidence before the jury came through and and just uh made a decision earlier

uh done the right thing earlier but I hadn't realized how like much they had really fucked themselves on this one where they had like their next so the next like avengers movie was called avengers the kang dynasty and jonathan majors's character is kang like they they just like put the whole franchise on his shoulder essentially which is the problem with

um you know of this scale yeah movie of this scale and like farm on everything yeah the whole thing where everyone's like god they plan everything out so far in advance it's so smart like how they had to they had to release this flash movie even

though that dude is a complete piece of shit. That was DC and they were like, well, you let DC do it with the Flash so maybe give us a pass here. It turns out not going

to happen. They were really dragging their heels on taking any action here after numerous outlets reported on Majors' decades-long pattern of emotional and occasionally physical abuse. So they're going to have to come up with a new fifth Avengers movie. So also, it feels like their plan seems to be now to swap out Kang for another comic book villain, like Dr. Doom. And,

and I've at least like heard of Dr. Doom, you know? So I don't know. It's just funny because they've already done Dr. Doom in those, uh, critically hand,

uh, fantastic four movies that. Right. Yeah. A little while ago that, but those movies basically might as well not exist you know i like when uh hollywood insiders give notes like this uh there's one hollywood uh anonymous hollywood insider noted marvel is truly fucked with the whole kang angle

pointing out they haven't been able to rewrite any kang heavy scripts because of the wga strike uh so as soon as the soon as the strike ended, they put the Loki guy in charge of rewriting a new draft of Kang Dynasty, presumably without Kang, because it was suddenly being referred to as Avengers 5. Sorry, the phrase Kang heavy scripts is oddly amusing to me and I don't know why. Kang heavy scripts is oddly amusing to me and I don't know why. It's a word that

it's a name that loses meaning very quickly because it never had any. Kang heavy scripts. My scripts are Kang heavy. This has been a Kang heavy episode of the Daily Zeitgeist Trending. Yeah, I don't know. A volcano erupted on Iceland's This has been a Kang heavy episode of the daily zeitgeist trending. Um,

yeah, I don't know. A volcano erupted on Iceland's, uh, Reykjavik or Rick Jonas peninsula weeks after a town was evacuated. Um, European unions investigating Elon Musk's acts over possible breaches of social media law. And yeah,

man, we're at the end of the news. That's the end of the news for the year. That's all the news. We got to the end of it. Congratulations to us. Uh, you can stop paying attention to news,

uh, until the new year. Um, there's not going to be any new news. No new news. No new news. News is on break. I always,

I'm always suspicious of like natural disasters during the holidays not like suspicious like this is a false flag but like i'm ever since the tsunami happened on christmas day i'm just like what what are you gonna pull on us now mother nature to get the attention back you you wily asshole i wouldn't be talking to mother nature like that i mean you know who mother nature is played now by right like yeah yeah that's true she and she looks pissed that video is maybe the worst thing but like it that is the sign yeah yes joe biden getting t-boned by a drunk driver is one sign that america has fallen but the video that apple like being like mother nature's here and she's pissed but we're actually zero emissions now and it's like not even true

but like tim cook wants to take this opportunity to act might be might be our lowest low point so anyways uh we're gonna have a lot of episodes coming to you. Just episodes that we've recorded already. So many. Some fun holiday content. Some fun year-end content. Cavalcade. But that is going to do it for us for this year.

We are back with fun evergreen episodes in the coming days and then back in the new year with more live episodes and we will talk to you all then. Brian, thank you so much for everything you did this year and continue to do.

Where can people find you? You can't find me. Don't me leave me alone do check out i don't have many christmas traditions but every christmas i list i go on youtube i look up mf doom christmas cook and soul mf doom great little christmas Very fun. That's my one Christmas tradition. There you go. Learn something. That's going to do it.

Talk to y'all next year. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Get the vaccine. Wear a mask. Because there's a lot of sick motherfuckers that Brian knows who don't want to admit they're sick. Don't let people be breathing on you and shit.

Yeah. Don't inhale people's breath like a sin eater or like one of those. Yeah. Talk to y'all in the new year. Bye. Later. I'm Carrie Champion, and this is Season 4 of Naked Sports. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese.
