welcome the brilliant and talented theresa lee What's up? I have a song. Oh, go, go. Where's my test today? I've isolated five days. I like it now or never. Where's my test today? I took the, oh wait, oh shit. I ordered it on FedEx Sunday,

but I never got it in the mail. What the fuck, LA? Okay, that's, I brought that just now, but it's a good one. Where is your test? I ordered one it in the mail. What the fuck, LA? Okay, that's... I brought that just now but it's... Where is those tests? I ordered one over a week ago and I did not get it and I went in person and took one

and I was negative but I still haven't gotten my at-home test. Yeah, well, you know, it's... I don't know why this country can do so many things except just the real simple shit like get everyone a test. I bet they're still billing the government too. They're like, oh, we've given so many things except the just the real simple shit like get everyone a test i bet they're still billing the government too they're like oh we've given so many tests yeah exactly we just had to buy n95 masks for our kids so like n95 masks with dinosaurs on them

and they are so fucking expensive it's like yo they should the government needs to be sending these out to everyone on top of making it really clear that n95s is pretty much what they're all saying is like you should you need to do surgical or better don't fuck around with cloth masks with omicron because it's uh this is this isn't this is this ain't it get the real thing the school will accept nothing less at this point oh the 995s yeah yeah i mean it makes sense other countries that are shipping like they'll just ship you tests regularly so you have to take it like before you even order it it's like we're like i don't know just isolate what are you high on mushrooms again you tripping hallucinating stuff now country that's sending people tests okay i heard it all funny you say that I did do mushrooms and go to see the Enchanted Forest of Light this weekend.

Oh, that's fun. In Pasadena. It was really nice. After I got my negative test. Is that in Descanso? Yeah. Oh, really cool. Yeah.

Shut up, Descanso. That's just slept on botanical garden. Yeah. I mean, it really did feel like, because at first I was like, this is really wholesome. But I'm like, this is probably the part when I get dragged to festivals that I like anyways. The lights and pretty flowers. It's like, I don't like the loud music or the people. So, I mean, I like the people, some people that I go with.

I don't like crowds. I'm not like specifically hate everyone. But then you go to these gardens and it's like very family friendly, cute flowers. And you can just roam around and just enjoy and kind of get lost. And I'm like, this is nice. Yeah. This is slept on for sure. Yeah, that is one of the handful of events that I went to, that I brought my kids to and desperately wished that I had been on mushrooms while I was there.

Did you go, you went recently? a year ago or maybe two years ago i don't know yeah but this cancel is always where people go to take uh like their family photos too like you always see people doing like first birthday photos and shit like it always be like a child who is incapable of sitting still for a photo and they're like a guy with six cameras and like stressed out parents and i'm like there's that's always a mainstay at this cancel card no it's just a good place to let them run it's funny to watch the photos being taken at something like that because you really can see where there's different like agendas of people who've come together they make that event like you see the PR girls work in the giant drink cabin,

and it's all lit up with a fancy arrow and sparkling lights. And then there's very easy-to-read signs that are like, go this way for the fairy lights or tulips. And then behind in the dark, there's an actual, probably the botanist or the scientist who actually spent the tax dollars to make it. it's like really dense writing it's all in the dark covered by leaves it's like do you want to learn about trees and you have to like go off the like it's not even lit it's like nobody wants to learn about tree yeah hey nerds get over here you're harshing everyone's time man exactly and all the photos are just being taken in the light and like the

cool ass flowers are in the corner like, we are cool too. Like nobody wants to look at them. One of the few places where the oak coverage is expanding naturally in L.A. County. You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Where's the hot chocolate with the bourbon? Yeah. Where's hot Santa? That's right. All right, Teresa, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.

First, we're going to tell our listeners a few of the things that we're talking about today. We're talking about what's going on with the mandates. Why isn't Biden doing anything about those mandates? Come on, Jack. I have no clue. Can't possibly guess. Nor can I guess why Florida having a low death rate in context of how high their hospitalizations are, like the people calling a death, a COVID death until like two weeks after it happened. And then that death only gets reported

for two weeks ago. So instead of being like, okay, now that it's been called, we count that as a death today. It doesn't get counted as death today. It gets counted as a death two weeks ago and it's just a blatant like plan to hack the way the mainstream media reports covid stats and wouldn't you know it the front page of msn.com had the headline florida's covid cases and hospitalizations are surging but the state has the second lowest death rate in the nation. What's going on? Yeah, they're fucking lying. Yeah, it doesn't tell the truth until like three paragraphs in. So we'll talk about that.

We're going to talk about, it's Girl Scout cookie season. It's upon us. There's two cookies that were new last year that are holdovers, Adventurefuls and Toast Yays. Toast Yay. It. Toast-Yay.

It's a play on toast. They say it's a play on toasty. Oh. That doesn't, that's not how wordplay works though, right? Toast-Yay. Yeah, anyways, they're like French toast and Adventurefuls are chocolatey caramel cake concoctions. A cocaine user's breakfast.

Yeah, so we're gonna talk about that and the fact that depending on where you live there are two very different girl scout cookie manufacturers that make cookies both with different names and also like different totally different like concepts and in one case the s'more cookies like they don't look anything alike okay oh i feel like i vaguely this is a conspiracy we used to have like as girl scouts we're like why are they called different things in different places and that's i know that's a mystery but we we didn't know back in the day yeah no legit i was like they uh the girl scouts have gotten rid of or they've changed the names

of samoas to caramel delights and i was a a Caramel Delight girl. I was like, what? I was so confused. And then Peanut Butter Patty instead of Tagalongs. Tagalongs, yeah. I always assumed they were at some phase of like, at some stage of phasing one out and adding another in. Turns out, nope, there's just two different manufacturers who make different cookies.

Even the Thin Mint is like pretty wildly different. So we'll talk about that. All of that, plenty more. But first, Teresa, most importantly, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Oh, yeah. I searched this this morning because, well, I searched how to replace a Prius key battery because I, as you know, I went to the Descano Gardens this weekend. But as you did not know, I lost my backpack on the Lyft home. Oh, shit. As I can only imagine. Which is okay.

I mean, it was annoying. But what I realized, the best thing about losing everything in the new year is it's kind of like just zero sum. You're like, hey, just pretend it happened last year. And it's like, it doesn't matter. Yeah. It was a decision. All right, that's a 2020. Well, that was from 2020.

Yeah, you know, it's like new start, reset. It's fine. But then in the backpack was my keys as well. And so I had to come back to my place to get my spare key. It was a whole thing turned out did not have battery went to cvs bought the battery that the google said was the wrong battery so life's going well right now but you know so what do you got to go to a dealership or some shit to get that shit replaced i'll probably no i think i can go yes possibly but i think i have

to go to um like home dep Depot and get the right battery. They didn't have it at CVS. So your car is still there? No, so I was able to manually open it, but the smart lock, this is so boring, but the smart lock, in order to turn it on, I have to press it manually instead of, there's a way to do it.

You press the key to the button and then press the brake. What kind of battery are you working with there? Well, I bought a 2032 and it was wrong. I guess I'm a 16. What kind of motor oil take wouldn't it be? A 10W30? I've turned into like a 50 year old man. What tire size? I have to say I'm desperately interested in like, you know, talking more. Are you in the car? Are you in car mode now? No, I just I figured out how to change my keys batteries. And so it's like the hand, the one handy thing I've done in the last few months. It is a rush, though. I didn't realize like all this, like how, you know, the stereotype like girls do crafts, guys do cars.

But then when you actually break it down, it's the same feeling. Like when you're starting to open up a thing and fix it, I'm like, this reminds me of sewing. Like, I'm like, this was like, it brings me back to arts and crafts. And now I'm like, I understand why like guys like to work on electronics. Cause it's sort of like taking care of something that won't die. You can't hurt it really. You know, it's a battery. For all this battery replacement talk,

tell me why my Mazda key has not had a battery since we started this podcast. Wow. I've been taking out, like, the physical key to open the door. Then I got to press my button on the ignition. And whenever I'm in a valet situation it takes me like 15 minutes be like look bro the battery's out you gotta touch it to this thing or else i'm gonna start like yeah yeah we get it you're a lazy piece of shit and i haven't

changed it in ages then the pandemic happened i'm like well what the fuck does it matter and i find myself in the same place now so you've inspired me to perhaps change this myself and to move on to but you've actually given yourself this interesting moment because by waiting so long you're almost gifting yourself this like really like when i have things on my to-do list that last way too long it becomes that's the new norm you know like how oh yeah stuck inside forever it's called terrible procrastination yeah if you get to just once open your car door without like the old old way again it's gonna feel like 10 times better than if you had changed that battery a year ago.

You know what I mean? In a way, I like it. You change it now, it's going to make your whole week. Although it makes people fucking nervous. Because like they see me like going through, like I'm at the grocery store. I'd be like a white woman in her car. And I'm like going through my pockets. Like let me get my shit real quick.

Because I don't have, I can't just hit the button to open it. And they're always like looking at me like, it's key and I'm opening thank you but yeah there's there there are physical emotions to it that I realize are like we're kind of uh in certain aspects we don't we've moved forward from like unlocking a car with your key it feels like something for strange the the working people not the elevated folks of West Hollywood. Yeah. I have a theory that the reason you haven't done that is because like having kids provides you with so many moments of boredom that you like think you like make to do lists and shit.

And that's the only reason because that is anyone who knew me before I had kids would tell you that like having no batteries in a key or having the lights out in like every room of my house except one was like the sort of shit that I would just my brain would just be like oh okay so we don't have lights in here now but

I think the boredom of parenthood in order to make my car key. Wait you're saying you're bored from having a child? It's so having a child is... How would your wife feel about this statement? Because I feel like that's the opposite experience. Hey, well, she just got home from a 12-hour shift and she's shoveling the driveway right now.

I'll ask her when she gets back in from shoveling the driveway. Absolutely bored having to take care of your children. You're constantly taking care of the kids, but there's also, like, you're doing it and then like they are playing or you know asking you a question every like 10 minutes but it's it's a lot of like you have to be there you have to be with them you have to be like ready to answer a question or like you know put a band-aid on something but a lot of it is just your brain is like, so. It's on standby.

I feel like it's a drastically different experience. Like even when both parents are as involved, like I think the mother brain is just wired in a way. Cause I had this combo with my boyfriend cause he sometimes watches my dog and when my dog is over, I'm the only one who takes him out in the morning. And I was like, I think he needs to pee. And he's like, no, he's good. I'm like, no, it's like, if we leave now, it's

going to be like six hours before we go back. And, and then in his mind, he's like, well, when he stays over with me, he's always good. I'm like, yeah, that's because it's like one day at a time. It's like, oh, it's grandma's house. I'm like, now imagine if you had him for a whole month, like he's going to be waking you up at 7am. Like every morning I have to do this every day. There's not a day off. You don't get a prize because you remember to do it once. It's just like, yeah, it's just your life. It is. Yeah.

I'm like, if we have kids, you're going to be like, I changed a diaper. I'm good for a month now. Right. I'm like, I think the baby needs the diapers. And I, they're good. They're good. It happens every couple hours. The poop.

You're good. What's his name? Nah, he good. What's his name? I call him Bitcoin call him bitcoin oh shit that's your dog wow okay this makes sense now what is uh what's something you think is overrated oh okay this is a real basic but i think strawberries because i was eating one i bought strawberries i always buy raspberries i'm a raspberry gal i don't know strawberries are everywhere i'm not saying they're not good i'm a raspberry gal i don't know strawberries are

everywhere i'm not saying they're not good i'm just saying they're like they have way too much hype everything's strawberries strawberry strawberry you put them on pancakes raspberries are better and i actually got strawberries they look good i cut them up they're just fine like i see your face miles and i acknowledge but it's more it's like because i think i don't i don't really have a berry in this fight, but I know that they're always better when it's hotter. That's the one thing. Whenever you get in the winter,

the strawberries aren't as good than they are like when it's warmer. Because I know in, because what most of our strawberries are grown in California anyway. It's like the real prime time is like starts in February or something. That's abruary or something that's a good yeah that's a good point like i feel like we have gotten to a point where we just expect every

fruit to be in season all the time the only season that i'm aware of is peaches huh easy season easy season is of course but like in terms of produce. Ah, yes. Also yeezy season. I do love yeezy produce. But peaches are drastically different for like a month in the summer. Like in like July, August, they're just like, holy shit. And then every other time it's just like, eh. But I agree. Like strawberries, I probably don't pay close enough attention to them.

But especially like there's nothing worse than like a chunk of frozen strawberry as opposed to if you get like a frozen raspberry or something it's like having a treat but a chunk of frozen strawberries like i i've had good strawberries but just in general the ones that groceries are and perhaps i'm not shopping the right season but like the best ones i've ever had were like in japan where they don't they're not like engineered and they look not that sweet, but they're small and almost like not red, but they're really sweet. The ones here look red and huge and they just taste like fine. Right.

been able to fully like robotize it yet that they do talk about how the entire like evolution of strawberries has been towards big bright red and and like regardless of taste yeah they just like don't take taste into it because it's all about like what is going to look best to people in the produce house and i think that's probably a uniquely american issue that's that's why i like a good farmer's market because they're not gonna to fuck with, like, they're going to tell you straight up. They're like, no, no, no, I would wait on those. They're like, I mean, if you need strawberries or something, you can get those. Like, these apples are better right now. You know, that's how you start learning the waves.

Man, apples stay good. I love apples. Oh, big apple gang. Got an apple right here. Oh, wow. Was that an apple? Are you done with that? yeah was that apple core did you are you done with that how how close to the core you get there no no this is an all-day process i was saying yo because i always talk about one of my earliest memories of driving the car with my dad he used to have

this toyota truck his like work truck it was fucked up and it would have apple cores all on the dashboard like wow and in various like states of being dehydrated by the California, L.A. sun. And my mom would always be so mad at him for having all these apple cores in the car taking me to school and shit. And he's like, it's fine. It's apples. I eat apples all day. Oh, my God. I remember him eating them to the fucking core.

And I remember the first time I ate an apple, I tried to get there. And I'm like, no, this is too intense. I can't get down like that yeah i go pretty did they ever sprout no no they would just turn brown and like you know sound like a like fucking like a dish sponge yeah smells start smelling like some some form of wine yeah exactly yeah yeah what is something you think is underrated Teresa okay I think this is like gonna sound strange but I shall explain okay I underrated just like baggage like couldn't like but people with baggage as adults and I would go even so far as to say like this is because I was reacting to how we're obsessed with youth and like having like you know like over sexualizing sort of being young

and pure and innocent and i'm like i really the more i think about it the more i'm like you know what's actually fun is like consensual adult sex with baggage you know what i mean like that's the opposite of what you would think when they're selling like oh my god pure innocent but it's like i think that that's the most fun when two people you know what know what I mean? Like two people who are working on themselves. I'm not like, oh, I hate my baggage. But like two people with baggage who are like, hey, I did the work and now we're adults and we're also like tired. I mean, yeah. At that point, is it baggage, right?

Because you're talking about like what's better than self-aware people being passionate and up, like, you know. But that's not what we're being told we're being sold like the idea of like oh like be innocent and pure and it's like that's actually kind of annoying to be honest like you know let the kids have their innocence but like that's annoying i don't want to be around someone immature and so i think we should start actually marketing like just like you know our icons our sports illustrator models should just straight up be like i'm a mother divorce and i also am in therapy so it's like whoa isn't that hot like that right it's like dad didn't reach out till my first magazine cover yeah but i don't hold it

against you i have power to make my life better and i chose to be here and you're like damn that does not define me though yeah no that's interesting i mean i yeah there is something to like it says i don't know just in general there's something attractive about people who can be like who are aware of like the shit that they've been through how it's affected them and also being like and i know i kind of got to work on that kind of thing versus i remember when i was younger you deep you know when you have no awareness around your own shit it just looks like two fucking Tasmanian devils like emotional Tasmanian devils being near each other yeah I like a I like a little bit of thinking awareness for

sure yeah especially like the the idea of like innocence and like not anybody who in the current world is just like I'm good like you know I'm just like, I'm good. Like, you know, I'm just like innocent and I don't really, I don't let this stuff get me down. Yeah. Yeah. It's like, what stuff? Life? Reality? Like the reality of where we live. I feel like when I was, you know, before the pandemic and I was interacting with more people and like assessing people for new friendships and things. If people seem too innocent, I'm like, no, bro, we're not going to get along. I need to know you've stolen shit.

And I need to know that you've screamed at the top of your lungs at a parent because they didn't understand you or some shit. When people are just like, yeah, got this Disney-like energy, I'm like, mm-mm. Yeah, that Disney energy. when people are just like yeah like got this like disney like energy i'm like yeah that's that disney and because it's what it is is it's almost like it's it's one thing to be happy and optimistic i i'm like nothing wrong with high happy energy as long as you're aware of the truth but i think the energy of like everything's fine is almost like dystopian because it's like oh you're gonna need my help when things go wrong because clearly you have not ever had to solve problems. You know what I mean?

That feeling of like versus someone who's like, hey, I can like, you know, change the oil of my car. I could do this. And so at the end of the day, I'm not going to like lean on you so hard, but I might, you know, help you out or you could help me out. It's cool. You may become my surrogate emotional mother. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We'll negotiate the terms of thisate emotional mother. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Being upfront. We'll negotiate the terms of this emotional handoff. Right, right. Don't worry. Negotiate the emosh. Yeah, negotiate the emosh. I don't think Disney affected me that much, but I am only attracted to very happy, positive orphans. Because parents died tragically when they were too young to know them. Oh, my gosh.

Disney also fucked up how we see animals. Because I didn't realize this until recently. Because I'm like, we have to neuter our dog. That makes sense. Yes. Even though I was watching puppy videos of Tibetan Spaniels, thinking how sad my dog will never have a family of his own. And then I remember, like, why did I love puppies so much?

Growing up, all the Disney movies, you just randomly go, puppies! Like, there's just, like, families who have dogs and suddenly puppies i'm like this is propaganda how are you telling children that you get a dog for as a pet and you could have puppies when literally the humane society came to our elementary schools that told us neutering and spaying is fun like that we had bookmarks that said neuter and spay your dogs damn yeah and at the same time all the cartoons are like puppies have families too. And you're like, wait a minute.

Oh, a puppy. Wait a minute. You're like, puppy. Oh, I mean, I was with my nieces like over the break. They break their necks trying to look at a puppy

anywhere. The guy, a puppy. You're like, we're driving in a car. Like, I thought some shit went down, but you just saw a puppy outside

and I get that. Disney actually used like baby animals to hack what we will find cute. They used the head shapes of baby hippos and the head shapes of baby humans to design all their cute animals. So, yeah. You get it right there. Always 12 steps ahead. Puppyganda. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Hey, I'm Gianna Pradente. And I'm Jemay Jackson-Gadsden.

Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes,

and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? I mean, the Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. They lion.

An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On the segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. It's bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And, you know, people are starting to ask the question that the Biden administration heading into the new year was talking a lot about mandates and, you know, how this was.

We had deadlines. Everybody was going to have to quit their jobs if they wanted to stay with that anti-vax shit. going to have to quit their jobs if they wanted to stay with that anti-vax shit. And it just seems like that is stretching on. The vaccine mandates aren't really being enforced that much. People are asking why. Whether it's people fucking suing to stop it. And obviously many states, state attorneys general have, you know, it's like a case that the Supreme Court is hearing. There's been all kinds of resistance. But I think one that hasn't really been talked about a lot, or at least looked at enough is really what corporate America's hand is in this. Because at first it sounded like corporate America was all on board with this. We're like, yep, absolutely. They're like, you're

working here. You better get vaccinated. We see what the economists are saying. If, you know, people are vaccinated, it makes the situation more stable, really, which means we have healthy people to buy our shit. But as the Biden administration's call for the vaccine mandates grew larger and louder and clearer, things apparently changed. And suddenly, these corporations have changed their tune. And I think since worker safety means no money going to C-suite bonuses, they're very quickly like, yeah, you know what? Actually, no, no, no. This is all bad.

And how is it happening? So this is from the start of a quote from Jacobin saying, just analyzing where a lot of the corporate influence has been exerted as it relates to mandates. Quote, some of the groups are fighting the mandate in court, while others have been submitting comments to OSHA throughout the public comment period for the new rule, urging modification, clarification, or even wholesale abandonment of the rule. And so what they're saying is like, these are industry lobbying groups who are just getting all their hot takes in during the public comment period, like this is stupid. It's going to fuck up everything. Suddenly they go on to say quote some corporate lobbying groups want to revise biden's vaccine and testing mandate to

allow for nonsensical exemptions for people who self-attest that they have been tested or have experienced quote natural infection and recovery and others want the rule scrapped outright arguing that the mandate will turn businesses into quote the government's instruments of coercion against their own employees so um so in short he's shook slash beholden to these groups we saw with djokovic over the weekend that he basically waited waited out the australian government and there was enough pressure from the tennis body to like let him play. And they were like, oh, he had COVID. Okay. So he has these natural antibodies. We're good. We're good here. As if you can't get it more than one. Like I know people who've got it more than once and are vaccinated. Yeah. So essentially like it's just creating this environment,

I think not just as it relates to this specific mandate, but like we're now we're seeing people like teachers or flight attendants. They've suddenly become like the front line in terms of advocating for workplace safety and not because like they're revolutionaries, but because their employers have put them in like an impossible position where they're like, no, like this is too much. Like you're not, you're, you're ignoring the spike in COVID cases. We've had coworkers pass away at the environment. This is just too much. I don't want to be out there. And currently like many flight attendants have been pleading for vaccine mandates on flights in the, in the U S like they're like, Hey, FAA, what happened to this talk of like having people like vaccinated on like airline flights this is this could be potentially great for us because i don't know if you've seen the news since flights started taking off again we're basically getting punched and having to tape people to seats because they don't want to fucking wear masks so they're all saying like anecdotally like we very much see a clear line between if there was

like people who fuck with like vaccines or respect a clear line between if there was like people who fuck with like vaccines or respect the mask they're not the kinds of people that end up assaulting us on flights so they're like this would just be a tremendous weight and safety concern lifted from our shoulders but then like when the white house press secretary jen saki was asked about it she said quote they had not heard that explanation internally and directed questions to the FAA. The FAA in turn referred the Daily Beast who was asking to the White House. Yeah. It's almost like none of these people should be in charge because they basically are acting the way like at big companies, whenever like a big company makes a new

rule and everyone's like, wow, why do we have to sit through this harassment training or whatever but it's like now the ceo is like what why do we have to do the thing it's like the thing that like rules you don't like rules the thing that you make your employees do like hmm when it applies to them they just like can't stand it right right and also like so now i have to pay for them to be tested no no no right we're not doing any of that it's only cool when they pay my salary and they do all the work for my absolutely it should be noted that the flight attendants and teachers are the front lines because they're almost all unionized and that's thus they're able to actually like bring a fight as opposed to other people who are just getting fucking railroad.

Well, and that's what's wild, too, right? Especially as it relates to Chicago, you know, and you look on teacher Twitter. My God, the things that like people are saying is happening in their school district and the conditions they're made to work in. You'd be like, fuck, that is so that's so fucked up. But again, because of the crunch of capitalism, most people's response is like, I go in because I can't lose this job. Like, I'm already supporting family. Like, I can't. This isn't when I have to look at a decision to stay or find something else.

It's just easier for me to stay with this. But in the meantime, you have like politicians with the audacity to be like these teachers are like out of line like abandoning these kids like these kids and like i heard you know saying things like they're coming from homes where the parents are struggling and need to go to work it's like motherfucker as a leader why are you not ideating around how you can keep those parents safe that they're not having to be in a possible situation like well if i if i don't go to work then i lose my job but if i but if but my kids are not in school so what am i supposed to do and just treating it like this unsolvable problem it's just really fucked up just even how

it's being discussed out loud and like hearing people take those you know rhetorical arguments interesting yeah are the teachers selfish yeah i also don't know all or even most flight attendants or teachers are unionized but i just i just know that i've heard of the unions for those professions so like that i'm not i'm not saying they're all unionized i'm just saying that that gives them at least a fucking foothold, whereas a lot of the other professions, your Amazon delivery and warehouse workers don't have that option. I will say that when I searched our most flight attendants, the Google auto complete number one with a bullet was single. People are just way too thirsty out here on planes being like, hmm, she our flight attendants are most flight attendants into able to bone what if that's like someone's weird interpretation of being unionized it's like are they have they entered

a holy union of matrimony there you go that's probably what it means. That's how we get the evangelicals on board. Union with Christ. The holy union. Yeah. I mean, look at these people. Some of these people are not even Christians and they're willing to enter into a union with Christ. I mean, please, we need your support for minimum wage. The great collab. Right.

The labor movement. After the great schism. The great collab. Collabo. All right, let's talk about Florida real quick. Yeah, so they have low death rates. Recently, people are asking us to solve the riddle. Their COVID cases and hospitalizations are surging,

but the state has the second lowest death rate in the nation. What's going on? So we talked a couple months ago about how they changed the way they were reporting COVID deaths so that when a death was determined, like weeks after it happened, that death would only be counted to two weeks ago, as opposed to every other state,

which is just giving it to like the current day uh which keeps things up to date and at least like gives you the information as constantly as possible and as like up to date so that people are like oh shit florida deaths from covid are really going up instead of oh oh shit, we're getting a revision that says Florida deaths from COVID went up a couple of weeks ago. Right. It's just a hack. They don't usually, it's like, it's like you have to go back and check it every two weeks to actually see it. It'd be like if you were like late every day, but instead of it's like, we won't mark you late today. And then two weeks later or something. Yeah, exactly. It's just, you have to look at the, you have to look at the rate from like weeks later or something. Yeah, exactly. It's just you have to look at the rate

from like weeks ago to see. Yeah, it's very sketchy. If you're a time traveler though, do not go to Florida. The COVID death rates from the past are mind-blowing. Yeah. So, I mean, deaths are always a lagging indicator.

Like we've learned that by living through this pandemic. But theirs is like, you know, doubling, tripling the lag that we have wouldn't always show going down to them because if as you get closer to present day so then it always looks like we're on a decline in some ways exactly and that's that's how they do it but this msn article is like, really buries that fact. There's, like, a sentence about it, but they say, experts say several factors could

explain the currently low rates. Florida's horrific toll from Delta and its acquired resistance and vaccination rates may be buffering the state at a time when others are contending with two variants. Which doesn't really make sense and is also, like, the anti-vaxxer sort of logic. I've got immunities.

I've got the antibodies. Don't give credence to that shit. Yeah. And then only after that they say, or because of the way Florida reports COVID deaths, which already tend to lag in infections and hospitalizations, the true death rate from this recent wave may be too soon to know. know and then somebody later on does say that that it kind of always looks makes it look like they're declining even though what what's really happening is that we're just learning later and attributing those to earlier on but it's just they did a very specific thing to with a very specific like aim for their outcome and it is working perfectly and and these fucking treatments of the this kind of news story are they've completely fuck people's perception up of like what's happening too because

you could be like damn what's going on florida then you probably see ron de santis come out and he's like so you know um with the covid you know we're doing really well do you see that clip of him trying to like catch his breath at a factory opening? And everyone's like, are you hiding something, sir? You either you are so emotional from this semiconductor factory opening or you are having serious trouble breathing from potentially a respiratory illness. He's passionate about his job. It chokes him up. Yeah.

Right. Yeah. Having to do it makes him sad. Right. And you get this idea. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Having to do it makes them sad. Right. And you get this idea. It's like, well, maybe they got something right by completely throwing out people's like basic rights to be treated as a human being that should live like out the window. And like their brute force policy is working rather than just saying for this story should be Florida keeps lying about how they report deaths. There it is not. Hmm, let's do this.

They really did a New York Times on that one. You got to go through Florida's phone. Florida has been lying. Florida is hiding shit. Okay, who is Florida texting? Red table talk with Florida. What's going on? Any headline that, I mean, this is not that our listenership is falling for this

and this is more we're covering the story as an example of how the mainstream media is complicit in all the misinformation that's going on. But any headline that ends with, what's going on at the end, they're putting out a bunch of different theories, and it's probably completely bullshit. It's like stirring your curiosity,

but your job was supposed to ask this question internally, and then go figure it. This is like the pitch to your editor. And then you're supposed to figure out what's going on and tell us. Buried in the article is a very succinct description of what is happening. Florida is the only state that reports COVID deaths to the Center of Disease Control and Prevention by the date the death occurred rather than the date reported to the state or a combination of the two according to a notation. The way Florida reports can give the appearance overall deaths are decreasing, the CDC notes. This does not reflect a true decline and data should be

interpreted with caution. So yeah, exactly what you said, Teresa, that it gives the impression that there's perpetual decrease and it's actually just slow reporting and manipulation of the system. Yeah. What's going on? Then meanwhile it says ICU beds are filling up is another slug in that story. It's like, okay. It doesn't sound like everything's doing great. But don't believe what you hear.

There could be magic. I mean, Disney World is in Florida. Maybe magic will help them. I don't know. Do you believe in tragic? There you go. Yeah, the implication is that Florida's, like, rapidly aging or already aged population

is just, like, killing it when it comes to surviving COVID and also, like, very relatively unvaccinated population. Anyways, good media we have. Let's take a quick break and 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.

And we're back and Girl Scout cookie season is as well. And this is exciting times, I think, for people who sugar, such as myself. But so there's this article in the Takeout where they made reference to the fact that there are two entirely different like kitchens, entirely different factories that make the Girl Scout cookies. And the cookies are like totally different depending on where you live. One of them is called ABC, right? That's the one I remember growing up.

Yeah. Two bakers, ABC and Little Brownie. Oh! And, yeah. Yo, their mixtape on SoundCloud? Fucking fire. Little Brownie. Woo!

Terrible joke. I'm sorry. I'm going to go. I like it, man. I thought it was good. Hey, thanks for keeping me around. Thanks for keeping me around, folks. It was like one of those ones that like makes you think.

That's like me. That's my tagline. I'm one of the ones that make you think. One of those that makes you think. Teresa Lee. My Tinder bio. I'll add that. So thin mints, like I had definitely experienced this. Like some thin mints don't have that much chocolate around them.

Some of them are just like kind of wafery cookies that don't have much chocolate around them and are mintier and those are different than the ones that i grew up with that have a bunch of chocolate around them and i had interpreted that as girl scout cookies are fucking with the fucking with the process fucking with the formula oh yeah weren yeah. That's like some shit you would say, I feel like, in the years past. Like, yo, I think they're fucking with the formula. Yeah, I mean, I'm surprised that you're asking if I said that, seeing as you got my invite to the City Hall protest that I staged and just completely flaked on it. The don't let them fuck the formula protest. just completely flaked on it.

The don't let them fuck the formula protest. The standards of thinness in Girl Scout cookies is just unachievable these days. Thank you. Keep going up and down. It was on January 6th in Washington, D.C., so we kind of got overshadowed. All cookies are bad. ACAB.

You're like, what the fuck? Okay, sir. But yeah, it's it's just and also i did such little research that the answer was very clear and i just like didn't didn't know that like oh no they're two separate cookies nobody's changing anything you dip shit but people who don't move around i think would just assume that we all lived in a Samoa's world or a Tagalong's world versus a peanut butter patties world. But those are two separate cookies made by the two different like regional Girl Scout cookie kitchens.

What's their like turf map look like? Like who gets what? Yeah. Is it like gerrymandered? Like how does it? Yeah. Because it sounds like because Teresa, you grew up in California, right? Yeah, I grew up in NorCal, and we had peanut butter patties and caramel delights.

We had Samoas and Tagalongs down here. Yeah, I think it's totally illogical. I feel like there's something deeper. We need to dig into it. We need to dig into it. The Big Girl Scout cookie is trying to create divisive lines between Northern California and Southern California from a young age. They're working with Big Sugar to make us angry. I think there's something here. There is a map on LA Times that supposedly tells you which cookie you're eating and who services your zip code.

But then the second you type a city or an address in, it doesn't tell you. It says, no results found. Please refine your search. Huh. Okay. Interesting. They've never heard of Los Angeles, apparently. I mean, who has?

But, yeah. How are people selling Girl Scout cookies now? I mean, they're not going door to door, are they? Yeah, there's like an online thing happening. But, for instance, people on this podcast, Zeitgang were probably confused because we kept referring to s'mores as being these sandwich-style cookies

with frosting and fudge, hints of maple, as opposed to, like like s'mores from ABC bakeries, which apparently doesn't serve us. Los Angeles is like a chocolate covered graham cracker. It's like, it doesn't even look like it's the same. I don't know if I remember. That might be a new one. S'mores are new. They're like, they're the third newest kind of permanent dish. the third newest kind of permanent dish and they're pretty uh actually lemonades might also be um lemonades again totally different looking cookies well and hold on you're saying you grew up with a thin mint that had more fudge covering on it yeah like when you take that bite you felt like oh i'm getting through chocolate and i'm hitting the cookie. Yeah. Whereas the crunchier with more mint Thin Mints are made by ABC Bakers,

which are the ones that don't service Los Angeles. But that's weird because I feel like I'm eating, when you said there was more chocolate, I'm like, I mean, I feel like the chocolate is lacking on some of these Thin Mints. I know. Now I'm wondering how much more chocolate it could have had. Yeah. I remember chocolate.

There's a little bit of chocolate. It was chocolate coating, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But that shit was thin. Yeah. So the Thin Mint, the other ones, are just a wafer cookie. There's no chocolate coating. No.

That's not what I grew up with, though. I had chocolate in mind. Here, let me. I mean, unless this picture is fooling you. I do have to say, okay, I'm Googling and it's funny,

Miles, that you said hit this cookie because I wanted to see what a do-si-do look like. Pretty much any Girl Scout cookie you put into Google Image is going to show you

pictures of weed. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, do-si-dos. Just pictures of weed. Thin mints. Yeah, I mean, it should be noted all of ABC Baker's cookies

are just, you know, loaded down with THC. They should open a Girl Scout cookie dispensary. What the fuck is this Thin Mint with the holes and shit? No. Right. That Thin Mint is, but that's the ABC. That's what a lot of people grew up with. Okay, so I'm not, I'm Little Brownies then.

No, that's not anything. And then, okay, so we're definitely in Little Brownies because I remember you bought a pack of s'mores at your Super Bowl party a couple years ago, and this was the shits that we had. Yeah, yeah. It was the Little Brownie Baker's version. Yeah. I remember the shortbread.

That's the classic. Right. Yeah. And we called them tree foils. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, tree foils. But they look different. Like, look, I just posted a link above the one that Becca posted in there.

And, like, you get side by sides. And even that, even, like, the classic is, like, very different looking. This is trash. This is, like, forget the what is the Mandela effect. I mean, this is where the divide in our country stems from. Yeah, exactly. Girls go cookie from yeah go off keep that going holy shit what if someone dug in and it was just like you know 90 trump voters are serviced by abc bakers and 90 biden voters right it's like a step fucked up kendall jenner pepsi commercial

but girl scout cookies january 6th like what the try this thin mint though q anon viking and he's like oh my god actually go mike pence protect democracy my mind has been changed i do feel like the girl scouts as an organization has has historically done a lot of like progressive things right but that but it is interesting to it's funny that the cookies is like, we still think of the cookies as the big part of it. And they don't really, I mean, I don't know. I remember thinking like, oh, I want to sell cookies, but it's like, you don't get to bake the cookies.

You don't get to, you just go door to door. Now you don't even go door to door. Right. And you just take an order. And then, so I think they're like, maybe these bakeries are using these girls to raise money in a way that's not going back to the girls. Make little capitalism soldiers.

You know, go out there and fucking hustle. You're fucking selling out your trunk. Teach you to like compete to be employee of the month. Yeah. Like that. With most. Yeah. Oh, my God.

That's exactly what it was. It gets you a picture on like a wall that like otherwise doesn't get you shit. Yeah. Why not? picture on like a wall that like otherwise doesn't get you shit yeah why not why not make you just make something and have a big cut yeah yeah but so the two new ones are toast yay and adventurefuls adventurefuls are like chocolatey they look fucking good i haven't had one but they are chocolate cookies like they look a little bit cakey. Shout out to my mom, whose chocolate chip cookies are very cakey. Ooh. Caramel

flavored cream. But it's like cream spelled the fancy way. C-R-E-M. Clem. Aristocats. Yeah, yeah. But anyways, you know, don't keep your head on a swivel out there as you're buying Girl Scout cookies. Check the box.

Sniff it. Nah, nah. This weight feels like you got ABCs in a little brownies box. Nah, fam, open that shit right now. Yeah, let me use my razor blade real quick. Like you're doing a coke. Chop it up. Oh, my God.

Yep. No fudge on this i think we caught you yeah well so i just i need to applaud the takeout like we it's probably the website that we most approve of on the daily zeitgeist with the possible exception of reductress like we we love the food we love the food we love the food takes we love their just so i love their editorial perspective on this this new cookie called toast yay that is toast dash yay exclamation point and they were just like they literally reached out to the girl scout of america responded the name is designed to be a play on words for toasty which evokes the warmth and joy we live in blah blah blah you know what toasty

evokes toast draws on the cookies unique toast shape an attribute to the french toast and yay celebrates joy it's like that is obfuscation that is like okay so toasty is a word we all know and then yay is a word we all know so uh just brought those together and answer question answered right it's like if i wasn't suspicious before now i really yeah i now i think this whole operation is being run by Russian bots. Like, that does not sound like a human answer. Right. Also, like, the, like, politician level spin. Because, Jack, read the full explanation of the yay part.

Because it's not just like, yay! Oh, yeah. Here we go. And yay celebrates joy. The joy that Girl Scout cookies bring to consumers. And how Girl Scouts create moments of joy as they use their cookie earnings to support their communities and donate cookies to frontline workers and local causes in times like these. Okay. More than ever.

Okay. Yeah, that is a bit of a stretch. But, I mean, yeah. Toast to AIDS. That's consumers and then the frontline workers and local causes. They've been compromised. The Girl Scouts of America. We've lost them.

Yeah. was either had somebody pointing some weapon at them or had just been shown a picture of their family being held hostage. Right. It's definitely a Chamber of Commerce type response. Frontline workers. Yeah, that's what I think of when I think of Girl Scouts. Hi, your consumer product not make sense? Explain, please. And it's like, has to do with frontline workers fuck you you're like

oh shit okay they don't know what they're doing so like so toast toast we maybe toast we toast eat oh my god we're still doing this yeah man i'm sorry i can't or i love it i'm just trying to figure out how we how do we workshop this to be better. Right. Well, Toast-y, if they're doing Toast-y. Toast-wee. Or just call it Toast-y. Yeah. Toast-wee sounds like you're taking a pee on some toast.

It's just that Toast-y is too close. They want it to invoke the word Toast-y. So you could just use Toast-y. What about the French? Maybe you could say it the french accent they're so horny for the frenchness and uh their other names but then on this one they dropped it because i think they're in bed with the conservatives that's what i gotta say it's like freedom fries this is the freedom friesation of girl scout cookies names or like just call them toasties.

Like, doesn't that feel like a simple you're evoking toasty and you've turned this adjective into like in a, you know, diminutive little nice little toasty. Get your box of toasties. But that's probably taken from some other product. I don't know. I think you just call it this cookie is earnings will go to support. I don't know. I think that you just call it, this cookie's earnings will go to support communities and donate.

What about, okay, so you don't like toast. What about toast to pee? Oh, pee is pretty warm and joyous. Pee is warm. It brings you back to your childhood, you know. I'm just saying. How so? Yeah, go on. We all remember.

The last time we peed was childhood. The last time we peed was when we were kids. With joy while holding a cookie. Yeah, of course. All right. Anyways, Teresa, as always, such a pleasure having you on TDZ. Where can people find you and follow you? Well, my new project is to discover the secret behind the Girl Scout Cookies conspiracy.

So if you have any leads, please message me. No, you can find me. I have a podcast, as you guys mentioned, called You Can Tell Me Anything. Coming back with new episodes in like two weeks.

Damn. got going on right now and i'm getting a haircut this week but you can't come to that so all right damn although i mean hey unless you unless you a sick ass barber willing to give discounts for a

But yeah, no, we'll talk about that on yesterday's trending. Yeah, he passed away in jail from probably COVID or who knows. Burping. Anyways. Burping. Gastrointestinal distress.

Is there a tweet or some other work of social media you've been enjoying? Oh, sure. Oh, yeah, there was a tweet. Marcella Agrello, I should look it up to read it word for word, but she had a funny tweet that I enjoyed. You're telling me every household in America used to get shampoo samples in the mail, but they can't find a way to get a COVID test? Right.

Exactly. Seriously. How? That was a good sigh, too. I think that sigh should just about sums up where everyone's at right now. Mm-hmm. Miles, where can people find you? What's a tweet you've been enjoying?

Oh, man, you can find me on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Grey and also the other pod, 420 Day Fiancé, where I talk 90 90 Day Fiance off that loud with Sophie Alexandra. So if you like trash TV, come by. Because we also talk about Married at First Sight, too, because that new season just started. And there's some red flags all over that place. A couple tweets I like. First one is from, you know what?

Christy Yamaguchi-Main had a tweet that did fucking numbers like you wouldn't even believe. Because, look, it had a tweet that did fucking numbers like you. You wouldn't even believe because, look, it's a very witty tweet. Christy Yamaguchi, man. Waffle House tweeted the Taco Bell drive through at 1 a.m. We'll have to a two hundred thousand dollar Mercedes S65 rating waiting right behind a 96 Cavalier. That's never had the oil changed, followed by a moped ridden by three people, all craving the same thing, to live mas.

Truly the last great melting pot of class in this country. I mean, truer words have never been uttered. And the next one is from Slay Webster at Yasaker, tweeted, Emily dies at the end of Emily in Paris, by the way. I hope that's true. I like that's true. I like that. It's like that aggressive spoiler energy. You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien.

Some tweets I've been enjoying at Andrew Nadeau tweeted, found out if you start crying and yell, I don't know when the guy at Chipotle asks if you want guac, they'll give it to you for free. It's a little life hack. And then Bill Gate, at real Bill Gate, tweeted computer.

Yeah, what the fuck was that tweet? Just think about it. I don't think it's... If you get it, you get it. If you don't, you don't. I'm sorry. Computer is how I was able to plant someone into the Ghislaine Maxwell jury to get the decision. I don't know. Maybe. is how I was able to plant someone into the Ghislaine Maxwell jury

to get the decision. I don't know. Maybe that's what happened. I don't think the real Bill Gates is real Bill Gate. Or that's what he'd want you to think, that it's not him. Shereen tweeted, just sitting here jonesing for another wordle, which is a new word game that I am also sitting here jonesing for. And then Greta Teitelman tweeted,

what is it called when you want to have a kid just to name it? That's a very Greta tweet. God complex? That feels like one of those things that Germans would have a word for, but it's so American that maybe like America needs to do the heavy lifting on this one.

So what's a song that we think you might enjoy? Miles, what song do we think people might enjoy today? You know, you might enjoy this experimental French funk band from the 70s called Cortex, okay?

With their banger of a track called Trois Peu Bleus, okay? The Blue Herd, I believe, is the name of it. And this band is really something else. It's like, if you like Can and you like that experimental stuff, you're like, this sounds like music from now, but it's from 70s? Yes. This track is like, the drummer in this band is so good.

And the syncopation that they're doing, I'm just like, this is next level. And I think you'll enjoy it too. So check out Topo Blues by Four Stacks. That's actually the name of the thin mints made by the ABC Bakery. Topo Blues. Topo Blues. That's actually the name of the thin mints made by the ABC bakery. 12.5 Blues. 12.5 Blues.
