This is a production of iHeartRadio. That is the nickname that Super Producer Ana Hosnia gave to our little episode this afternoon. To be clear, I was joking. Yeah, but you said it. And that is the best summation of your sense of humor that I can imagine is calling the daily zeitgeist offshoot the glary butt ploost. I'm Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Jack O'Buttstuff. Another nickname courtesy of Super Producer Anna Hosnier. I am joined by Super Producer Anna Hosnier. A.k.a. Super Producer Anna Hosnier. I am joined by Super Producer Anna Hosnier.

A.K.A. Super Producer Anna Hosnier. Nice. Nailed it. And Super Producer Daniel DJ Daniel Goodman. You nailed it all right there. A.K.A. DJ Daniel. There it is. Welcome. A.K.A. Gladiator. Oh jeez.

Bringing up my old personalities. We'll call you a.k.a. Mr. Cracked. Mr. Cracked, which is what I went by when I worked at Cracked. All right. We're talking about what's trending this Wednesday afternoon. Pearl Harbor is trending because

I think people just found out about this. You seen this? You heard about this? Yeah, I heard about this a little while ago, right? Yeah, a little bit. December 6th. A date that... No, Pearl Harbor is trending because as the tapster, as Jake Tapper reported via Twitter,

GOP representative Mike Kelly from Pennsylvania noted that the Pearl Harbor attack was also in December. And, uh, today also will be a date that lives on in infamy, uh, because this is how the, uh, Republican party is dealing with the totally justified impeachment of their

president. Yeah. Um, representative out there. Yeah. Representative Barry Loudermilk, a Republican of Georgia is a real person. Uh,

and he said, uh, what he said earlier today that Jesus was treated more fairly than Trump. When Jesus was falsely accused of treason, Pontius Pilate gave Jesus the opportunity to face his accusers. So during that sham trial, Pontius Pilate afforded more rights to Jesus than Democrats have afforded this president in this process.

And this president is basically Jesus. Those are all like names of the cats characters. Louder milk, punch a process. Yeah, exactly. Punch a process. I don't know what you were saying.

Wow. You're such a Bible scholar. Isn't this not even the point? Punchless process. Go ahead. Isn't this not even the point yet that Trump would come in and face his accusers in the process of an impeachment? Yeah, didn't he say he wouldn't? Yeah, that happens in the Senate, I believe.

Right. The House is just supposed to be them determining. So we're not even there yet to the point. Are we there yet? Am I right? Yeah. I don't know man. This just all seems like flailing. He's comparing the impeachment of Trump to a day

where like a lot of people died. Yes. Yeah. Huh. Yes. And then to Jesus who hate to be that bitch but we don't know if that really happened. Wow. Actually, historians would argue.

Actually, old white guys wrote the Bible. Right. And they never lie. So as we learn from this story, old white guys never lie. It's been translated like 700 times. I still trust it entirely to the letter. If you were stranded on an island and you couldn't leave, what book would you bring?

The Bible. Yeah. That's like every pageant girl's response. Obviously, the Bible. Yeah, okay. I'd bring a book of a thousand riddles. Would you? No.

And then just be entertained by it? I'd laugh all day every day. All right, now everybody has to answer that question. I'd probably bring like a crossword puzzle book. Oh, that's a good one. A crossword puzzle book, yeah. Good, because you'd never run out of crossword puzzles to do. No, I would, but I'm like not great at them,

so it would take me a while. I would bring Sudoku for Mensa. Did I tell you about that? That I saw a guy with a Mensa-sponsored Sudoku for Mensa. Did I tell you about that? That I saw a guy with a Mensa sponsored Sudoku? No. I was just like, fuck yes. That guy has such a high opinion of his Sudoku skills.

It was Adam Driver. It was Adam Driver, who we're talking about next. We're going to skip ahead. Because he's been very memeable recently due to his understated performance in Marriage Story where he punches the wall and he's like, I love you!

And like falls on his knees. It's, I don't know. I'm a big Adam Driver fan, to be honest with you. I have been ever since Girls when people said, there goes a bad actor. I was like no i think he is an accurate depiction of a brooklyn hipster strange strange oh that was strange oh as they're called i mean to be honest with you that was my take entirely as well seeing him in girls was actually like oh this guy's you know this guy's all right he's doing his thing

this guy's got a gravitational pull yeah I think it just suffered from superstarism where all of a sudden he plays Kylo Ren. Right. Where he's complete. I mean, he's done a fine job with the character, but it just feels so out of place for Adam Driver as an actor to take that arc of girls, Kylo Ren. Yeah, that bothered a lot of people.

That never bothered me. Before all that, Francis Ha. Was he in Francis Ha? Yeah. Rocking a... And that's when I didn't like him. Was that when he was wearing a fedora? I think so. That's when I was like, whatever. And then I saw him in Girls. He was fun. He was like a funny weird dude who was, you know,

building boats or something. I personally think he is one of the better parts of The Force Awakens. I love his performance in The Force Awakens because it's very human and- Very angsty teen. Angsty. Very angsty.

And I think it works. And a lot of people were like, there goes the guy from Girls. And it's interesting because a lot of people who grew up with aggressively cool dads like Han Solo. Right, are that way. Well, they end up just being so insecure and angry. Yeah.

It's like, calm down. Sorry your dad was so fucking cool that you now have to ruin the Star Wars universe or whatever you're doing. It's the premise of that state sketch, Doug, where he has the cool dad and he's like, I'm out of here. And his dad's like, yeah, cool, whatever, Doug. Yeah, that's a perfect example of their relationship. Yeah, man, that's great. Just whatever you're into.

Yeah, no one's going to miss you. It's fine. Snow Squall. What is it? So, hey, I've heard of White Squall before, but this is ridiculous. So there's just really cool footage of a snow storm just sweeping in on New York. It is time-lapse footage, but it's pretty cool. I used to live in a little place known as Long Island City.

Did you? Yeah. to live in a little place known as long island city did you uh yeah when it was in the process of gentrifying you could almost see like you could do a time-lapse footage of gentrification sweeping in like a cloud uh like this snow squall gross uh of long island city it was like used to be all these warehouses and shit and just that pepsi sign that you can see in Queens if you're on the East River. And then it suddenly, like just all these high rises shot up. But the snow squall.

So anyways, when I lived in Long Island City, I had a nice like view of New York and you would just, there is like some very dramatic weather events that happen over New York. holy shit yeah i'm watching this video right now this is horrifying isn't that scary doesn't it look like the game of thrones uh battle winterfell a that day after tomorrow like every environmental disaster movie is happening right now isn't that cool yeah yes that's cool sick dog so dog. That's cool as hell. It's fucking so tight. If you're on the ground, it's just like a fog that comes in that's cold?

Or is there snow in there? There's snow. Yeah. Are the white walkers in there as well? Yes. Yeah. Okay. So all of a sudden everything gets covered in snow?

Everything gets covered in snow and also all fire is extinguished and dragons can't even blow fire out. Damn. It's just like snow and also all fire is extinguished and dragons can't even like blow fire out. Damn. It's like that true ice. Yeah, like people who are smoking cigarettes, like it just gets frosted over. All the smoke freezes. The less scary thing is that Coors Light commercial where the frost train comes through. Come on, people now.

This is a great opportunity for chorus too. Silver Bullet from Colorado. Colorado. From Colorado. That's from one of them Silver Bullets. God damn, that is a great show. All the way from Colorado. Silver Bullet.

This is extra horrifying. That is a reference to... Righteous Gemstones. Righteous Gemstones. It also kind of reminds me, not to go completely off topic, but it reminds me of what I saw recently in Sydney. There are wildfires raging all across Australia right now.

Oh, yeah. It's just like, you know, it is unfortunately amid the timing of a bunch of global warming regulations getting completely ignored. And you just see these videos of Sydney, what looks like completely engulfed in ash and smoke. And it's scary and horrible.

And, you know, this is like the exact opposite of that happening across New York right now. Yeah, it's... The world will end soon and you guys are tripping over Star Wars. Yeah. Hey, who's tripping over Star Wars? Not me, certainly. We did not spend

30 minutes of tomorrow's episode talking about Star Wars reviews. Talking about a Star Wars movie we have not seen yet. Just talking about the reaction to the reactions of the Star Wars movie. There seems to be sea levels coming in through our windows.

Yeah. Oh no. Huh. That reminds me of Kylo Ren's performance. Oh my god. Of why didn't my dad let me be the cool one yeah it almost looks like uh one of those sandstorms a little bit yeah it does um anyways cool very cool hell yeah cool the cool the cool scary weather yeah uh have you ever seen one of the, there's these like lake ice events where the ice is like growing out of the lake. It's fucking so cool.

How does that work? So basically there's ice on a lake and then wind is pushing the ice up out of the lake. And it really looks like ice is just attacking. It looks like those new Yeezy shoes that Kanye put out. Yeah. Those are disgusting. This is a very weird point of reference, but there was a scene in that movie.

Do you remember the movie The Weatherman? Yeah. How could I forget? My favorite movie. I am a passenger. I actually haven't seen it. Go ahead. Well, there's a shot of a lake with what looks like shards of ice,

kind of like cresting on the lake. And I have a feeling that that's from the formation of the wind pushing the ice through. I think that's what... I think they probably put the thing I'm talking about in there. It was pretty cool looking. It is really. Can't front.

Super rad. Can't cold front. Speaking of super rad, that transition Dan just did. Tekashi69. Oh, my guy. How's he doing? He does get stitches and apparently 35 years off their sentence for good behavior. Wait, he's already gotten off for good behavior?

Yeah, well, for collaborating. Yeah, the good behavior was snitching. Oh, for snitching. For snitching, yes.. Yeah, the good behavior was snitching. Oh, for snitching. For snitching, yes. Which to them is good behavior. He was facing up to 37 years. He got two years. His lawyers were asking for zero.

They're asking for a 13-month sentence, which is how much time he's already served. already served. But the judge said, your conduct was too violent, too sustained, too destructive, too selfish, and too reckless with respect to public safety

to make a sentence of 13 months at all reasonable. But it just seems like he went full on. He just gave up. He sent a lot of people to prison he's a lot let's hope you're in protective custody but he's not

he's refusing protective custody that's absurd it is absurd to me why? I don't know I'm very curious to see if he has some strategy has he been in any sort of protective custody these last 12 months? No. It's 13 months? I don't think so so where's he been like maybe he has jail jail or he has but at a

certain point the police are gonna be like okay we got what we needed so you're loose now to uh fend for yourself in prison he didn't want security either right interesting because he also refused witness protection or something like that. Yeah. Refused witness protection. Does Tekashi69 die in 2020? I hope not. I hope nobody dies in 2020.

How about that? Well, that's unrealistic. Jack, unfortunately, I have some bad news, but- That's incredibly unrealistic. People are- That's going to happen. Nah. Wake up, Jack.

I think we're going to do it. I think we're going to make it. 2020. You're nobody dies. Nobody dies. He said, I know I was wrong do it. I think we're going to make it 2020. You're nobody dies. Nobody dies. He said, I know I was wrong through tears. I was weak. I was easily influenced.

I can't believe that was me. Again, your honor, there's no apology good enough after a woman who had been injured in, like his, the stuff that he is guilty of is also no fucking joke they're like shootings beatings stabbings yes actually I don't know about stabbings but like very violent

assaults and horrible violence it's as if he's a bad person and should be in jail longer wild oh but he but he sent those other people away to prison and I mean surely not the same prison that he's in, or else I think those people would have something to say to him.

Well, as we all know, cops are the good guys, and because he's helping the cops, he shouldn't have to be in prison as long. Right, that's what they say. I believe in karma, and I think he will get his. What does that mean? I think his karma will come for him. Win at a slot machine? Yeah, um his karma will come for him yeah he'll everything will

go really great for him he'll become president next everything's wonderful no i think it's like the end of oceans 12 i think his behavior will catch up to him do you think in our lifetime escape from danmore do you think in our lifetime i've seen oz i think that's a i think that's the biggest myth that we have as a society is that people get their just desserts um i think what desserts they're just like they deserve people get what they deserve right nobody gets what they deserve it's game of thrones is the only movie or tv show that has ever accurately portrayed this. I don't think it's one clear thing. I think it's kind of like a series of things that slowly... One, his own conscious, he's aware of.

He's always going to walk looking behind. He's never going to be comfortable for what he's done. I have to agree with you. I cannot imagine. He will spend the rest of his life worrying something may happen. But that's street justice. I'm just saying it's not karma it is the fact that people kill people for doing that i'm just saying circling back to the first story look at our president he did not get what he deserved he

will never get what he deserves he will forever i still feel like he will die alone. The president? Yeah. Nah. In the future, whatever happens to him. Who do you think? You think all these people are going to abandon him? I think once he is not a person in power and he's just the former President Trump, I do think he will kind of be.

He will, I think, potentially die alone with Secret Service agents outside the room. That's about as close as fucking love he's going to get. Because I think his own goddamn kids were raised in the school of Trump, which means if that person is not worth anything to you and your career and your reputation, then why fucking bother with him? And I think his kids are going to turn on him eventually and be like, well, you're not president anymore and people all hate you. So now I have to protect my own reputation.

That's what would happen in a movie. That's what would happen in a movie. That's not what's going to happen in reality. You think they're all just going to be like, daddy. Daddy, we love you. Give us the money. I hope everyone turns on him and he poops himself. I know.

That's what we all hope. And in movies, the thing that we hope happens. But I think that's a myth. Not necessarily. You've seen The Irishman? Here's my really bleak prediction. This is post-presidency. Post-presidency, you're right.

Nothing happens. He's totally fine. And in fact, he starts a new apprentice where it's picking the next president. And then that person becomes so popular that they become the next president. I did want to ask the question do you think do you think in our lifetime there will be a president with a

neck or face tattoo? No I don't think so. Well that's been In our lifetime we'll probably give or take 20 years Okay Give or take 20 years I guess y Yes. Give or take 20 years. Yeah, I guess we are all fucked.

I think y'all are not acknowledging how bad climate control is. Yeah, but the thing is- Climate control. Excuse me, climate change. And we are not going to be able to flip it overnight. Sorry to be like dark as shit, but we don't have a chance. I think this is the longest trending zeitgeist ever. It's up there.

What are we at? We're like 15 minutes. I don't think we need to necessarily get into it. All I'm saying is that the human will to survive is strong. And even foregoing the climate and us being like, damn, yeah, we really fucked it up. I think people will like, we will go underground. We'll do it. People will be so desperate to survive.

Remember Geostorm? Geostorm. Geostorm contraption. And our only hope is Gerard Butler. Yeah. I've been saying that about climate change forever. Our only hope is Gerard Butler. G-Butts.

Or what's the movie from Waterworld? Remember he built that contraption that helped with the oil spill? Oh, yeah. Kevin Costner. Costner. Costner. Let's get him. Costner X Butler vehicle. Help us, Kevin Costner. Costner. Costner. Let's get him. Costner X Butler vehicle.

Help us, Kevin Costner. You're our only hope. Hey. Tying it all together. End it. Thanks, guys, for joining us. Miles is out sick. Feel better, Miles?

We love you. We love you, Miles. Feel better, Miles. Bye, Zeitgang. We'll be back. Stop licking the microphone. So we have an episode tomorrow. Yes. And then we'll have a trending tomorrow.

And we'll have an episode Monday. And then that's it. Well, for 2019. I mean, except for all the bonus episodes. Except for all the bonus, but that'll be the last regular episode. Then we have so much bonus material. Oh, man. Bonus material out the wazoo. We call them boners.

Yeah, boners. Boners out the waz. Jack and he just sent an email to HR real quick. Right. This has been a complete mess. Thanks for listening guys. We have a live show coming up at

We should. No, we shouldn't. What do you mean we shouldn't? That's a terrible idea. That's a joke. If you win the Fight Club you get to do AKAs

for the next six months. That's how it works. But Miles will probably smoke a blunt with you afterwards. I don't know. That is for sure. No, actually it's not.

He called me a cop the last time I said that. Anyways. No, it's because you said Bleezy. Yeah. Smoke a Bleezy as the kids say. Bye. Bye. Kay hasn't heard from her sister
