A.K.A. It's been a while It's been a little bit I forgot to ask That's on me I'm rusty Jack someone Well when I say someone

I mean like five people Five people told me I looked exactly like you In a picture yesterday I know that picture You get those tags? Of all the pictures that, uh,

I could have been compared to you. That was not the one I wanted to. That was, uh, not that that's a thing I think about, but, uh, no one wanted to be associated with that picture.

It was like one of those panorama ones where like space and time is somehow warped together. And like your face looks, uh, and time has somehow warped together and your face looks like you were suffering from the thing that Eric Stoltz had in the mask a little bit. People were like, it's Jack! I was like, sweet. Just like Jack.

Oh, man. I love them all. Okay, so we're twins now. That's all I've got for you. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious, the talented, one of our favorite guests here on The Daily Psych. She is Dani Fernandez! I have my own AK, thank you. And that's fine.

I have my own AK. Thank you. Also, if you hear grunting noises, my dog has decided to be the loudest person. She wants to be the fourth member of this podcast. So she is ASMRing out today. I appreciate it. Do you see her just like going to town, like licking herself? She is a piglet. Do you see her just like going to town, like licking herself? She is a piglet.

There's a wild energy about the world today. So I'm just like prepared for anything. I got Ben Affleck's coffee order this morning. What? We're not getting to any of our news stories today, by the way. I got his coffee order because there was like, he had a had a gross dunkin donuts coffee order and everyone was like what's in this coffee cup and i knew exactly what was in it and then i like fact checked it with boston twitter which is the worst twitter and they and and everyone confirmed that it was like a vanilla swirl extra extra which is like it's like five million calories it's disgusting but um but i but

i got it just to just as just to see like okay got it i was so confused i thought i thought you were in line behind ben affleck or in front of him and they gave you his coffee order got it it's like when people when like mark walberg like, I wake up at 3 a.m. and like people did that, but this is a way easier version of that. Way less aspirational. I do feel like the only way I can picture Ben Affleck of these past like five years

is ordering coffee and smoking cigarettes through a mask. Like those are the, those are. Has somehow been five years since he's been doing that. Not since he's been not doing that. I'm not a fan of that. I'm not a fan of his, but I was, I was intrigued by the coffee order. Yeah, no, that's, I love a super aggressive,

like not even coffee anymore, coffee order. Yeah, you walk out with this coffee order without a mask and it's like Wow. He clearly doesn't care about his health. Yeah. He has no regard for anyone. Now people might not be able to hear this, but

it's the most audible it's ever been that Danny has a much better microphone than the rest of us. Maybe that's not making it all the way through to the. Do you know who gave me this microphone? Is that what you're getting at? No, it's not. It just sounds amazing.

Y'all did. I heart. No, I'm speaking on a microphone. I'm speaking on an iHeart microphone and it does not sound as rich your voice sounds like rich honey this is just my natural voice

I might just be your voice I might just come from within anyways I'm back in the office because Spectrum decided to not work today in my entire neighborhood. Is this the first time you've been back? It is.

Wow. It is very clean. And we still have snacks left over from three months ago. I went back in early core to steal some toilet paper, full disclosure. I haven't been back since. Yeah. Yeah, it's nice.

There's been some major upgrades, and we're thrilled to be back. All right, Dani, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a we have a new study that kind of independently verifies how many people have died courtesy of COVID-19. And it is basically what we thought it was. It's like a little bit more than the estimate based on death certificates and all that good stuff. on death certificates and all that good stuff.

And it's what I think most of our listeners think it is, but it's important to get that. Like this officially makes any claim that this is just a panic, complete bullshit, like scientifically and independently. So that's good. We're going to talk, not really at all good,

but we're going to talk about that gun-toting lawyer who we talked about on yesterday's episode, now making the rounds in the media incoherently. Again, just bad writing. Yeah. Yeah. The gun-toting lawyer. That's like in Mike Judge's trash can can on his mac like so stupid uh we're

gonna talk about trump's official stance on uh russia putting hits on u.s troops being it's a hoax uh and also his official stance on the wwe which is that it is real he believes wrestling is real uh we'll talk about that we'll ask ask you guys, what is your gas station meal? We're going to talk about what our Netflix rewatch is. We are not recording an episode tomorrow, so we are going to do our Netflix assignments tonight. All of that, plenty more. But first, Danny, what is something from your search history

that is revealing about who you are? Oh, man, let me pull it up right now and see. Oh, no. This is so embarrassing. It's modern wall accents. I was going to compliment you. Oh, no, that's the most embarrassing. It should just be like girl

on girl something or whatever, which is like the next tab. Girl on girl modern wall accent. This is so embarrassing. That's great. I mean, it is, but like what better time to redesign your space that you're confined in for

the rest of eternity as we know it? Absolutely true. Yeah. I mean, because of my spectrum issues with spectrum internet, I have had a series of backgrounds that are like cardboard boxes in the basement and like our washer dryer out in the garage. And I am always amazed and very impressed by people with a coherent mise-en-scene behind them during a Zoom call. And I was going to compliment you on your wall accent. Thank you. You have a beautiful space.

This is cheating, but I have two other ones in here that I'm just looking at since i pulled open my tabs just to give you an inside one is lindsey lohan and hillary duff they're from the 2000s the aaron carter drama yes the aaron carter chad michael murray and then another one is why do i feel bursts of needle-like electric shocks in my hand? That means you're a... No, it's because I have some autoimmune issues and stuff. But anyways, it's just funny. And then I have what we do in the Shadows movie.

Anyways, it's the full spectrum of Dani's brain. I mean, I think that's a great way of finding out who you are. Now everybody knows. Yeah, truly. You are a superhero with electricity coursing through their hands who cares about their surroundings. And gorgeous modern walleye. Thank you.

Exactly. What is something you think is underrated? Underrated, I think, is fostering animals. I think a lot of times people think you have to adopt and adopting, which is great, is a huge commitment. And like, not everyone is ready for that. But fostering for me gets that itch, like, because I already have a dog and I fostered and adopted several animals. And like, sometimes, especially in my little one bedroom apartment, I can't have more permanently, but like I can for a month while

they're trying to rehome. And so I really encourage people to foster, especially like if you're like, oh, I need a puppy. I have the puppy like itch. And then you can like have them, but then have them like go to somebody that can actually take care of them permanently forever. So I think fostering like not enough people do it. And I think it is really helpful just to get them out of the cages and out of the shelter, you know, until they get into another home. So it's underrated. Absolutely. What is something you think is overrated? Overrated is binging television.

I don't think that that's how TV is meant to be watched. Wow. Like, I think we don't. Jack. Wow. Strong take. Jack knows to start cleaning. Fire takes. No, but I mean, okay, these might not be the most controversial things,

but they're things that people don't think of as a television writer. It really irritates, like, because there's a huge movement in now, like, critical YouTube movement and now like critical youtube videos and like just everybody being super hyper critical of media and i just think a lot of television isn't meant to be binged i think we end up being antsy and we're like the show moved really slowly and it's like did the show move slow or were you just like so antsy to get to the next episode so you could be done with the series right so like i guess as a creator and as someone that is you know writing some of the it just i just don't know if all television

is meant to be i don't think our brains are meant to take it in that way i'm finding that to be very true with i may destroy you where i went into it's like saving up a couple of episodes i'm like okay i'm gonna watch three at once but it is simply not that kind of shit like i after watching an episode i'm like i need some time i need to process like it's such a good rich show that i wouldn't want to sit like it have it in one sitting if that makes sense yeah totally yeah a lot of people don't realize that when uh big bang theory and uh young sheldon first came on the air like they were not like they were meant to be enjoyed over weeks and not and so in that way yeah no absolutely like i just hate you can't take that sort of thing in all at once. I hate Jack for making fun of my takes.

My take was like, what's underrated? Like drinking water. Everyone should drink water. No, I think it's a really good point. I've definitely found myself overwhelmed by a show that is too dense. And Big Bang Theory is not it. It's just being a dick. I also just think people like,

if you were to recommend it, somebody would be like, nah, it was too slow, or nah, it didn't, and I think it would have been that piece of art that literally those creators spent months to a year of their life making

might have been more enjoyable for you if you didn't binge it. So that's just what I'm saying as a creator. Totally. As somebody who's in writers' rooms, does that conversation ever come up where it's just like, well, people are going to be watching this not over weeks, but over the course of- A thousand percent. In fact, the last show I worked on was at Netflix. And so we literally, at the end of our episode, had to have a cliffhanger so that the little five seconds

it gives you before it goes to the next episode, you would want to watch it. You cannot have... So like with network TV, it all ties up, not all the time, but a lot of times the end of the episode ties up in somewhat of a conclusion, like somewhat of a little bow that you can take with you until the next week. But not all the times, but Netflix 100% you at the end of our final act. It's like when we don't even have acts because we don't have commercials. But structurally at the end of the episode, it has to be a cliffhanger for you to go into the next episode. Something I've found that is always disorienting for me is like there is between episodes, you are encouraged to not repeat information.

there is between episodes, you are encouraged to not repeat information. And because that is like going to throw a listener off or like, or a viewer off, they're like, Oh no, no, no. They just watched the last episode.

You don't need to like, you know, in the way TV used to be where you sort of had to recap what happened last week at the beginning. But now it's like, yeah, don't do that. It will encourage people to turn it off because they'll feel,

you know, condescended to. Yeah. But I feel like Terry Gross interviews, I feel like she's a really good example of somebody who is coming from a previous media where you had to reset constantly. She's always like, if you're just joining me, this is happening and this is who I'm talking to. And in podcast form, it doesn't bother me because it just allows you to take things in at a pace

that is very easy and you know you're not just I don't know like I think sometimes you're right that like it's not always bad to repeat things obviously you don't want to do it in a way that is like banging people over the head but

yeah I don't know what I prefer banging people over the head. I don't know what I prefer. I don't know which I prefer, but it's interesting. And finally, Dani, what is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? There is something that a lot of people think is true that I absolutely know to be false, and that is Jersey Mike's Black Lives Matter statement, which I'm going to read right here. It was under an official

Jersey Mike's logo. And it said, we here at Jersey Mike's are always striving for greatness with our standards, but also in our community. We have listened to the larger cultural conversation have decided that effective tomorrow, July 1st, our famous BLT bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich Now, a lot of folks were sharing this like it was real. Us in comedy Twitter know that this myth is not true. And it was created by the devil himself, Yasser Lester, who is a comedian and my most hated friend. Just kidding, Yasser. I love you. Very talented, very, very funny man who made this as a joke.

And it took off in other areas of Twitter where Yasser then had to like ruin the joke, which sucks. I hate when comedians don't get to keep their joke and be like, it's clear this is fake. But as I sent it to some of my other friends in comedy, they were like, knowing today, like who knows? Some of these companies saying this wild shit, who knows? Everything about that is basically

like a note perfect like recreation of how a lot of corporations are addressing like the current the current moment as they as they describe it. They love to say that. Yeah. But I just like this. The word Mado is so silly. Like it's like perfect up to the word Mado. And then it's just, yeah, that's what's so great about it. That's what's, yeah. Well, what's funny, you know, whenever there's like something printed in the newspaper and then there's a retraction, you never really see the retraction, right?

It doesn't go viral the way that the first part does, like the publication. And that's how I feel about this, that this has been shared on so many people's instagrams and like feeds and like activists and stuff like that and nobody's gonna see yasser be like putting up his little hand and being like it was me so yasser is a bad person no i love him and and he also did we talked about other things he did. He did like shaving your eyebrows for Black Lives Matter and convincing white people. He's an untarier. If he convinced one person to shave their eyebrows, that is both the funniest and meanest joke ever. There's a second one too, right? Fedoras.

Fedoras. Yeah. He was doing getting white people taking pictures of themselves in fedoras. I mean, the man is a gift, right? The man is a gift. He is an artist, clearly, and this is his work. This is his Sistine Chapel. But it's interesting because the eyebrows and fedoras were coming from him,

so I can see people like catching on like this is the yeah issue that uh nathan felder and or fielder what is it felder nathan fielder uh nathan for you uh his last name for you uh and sasha baron cohen like ran into his like people caught on to the fact that they were full of shit but I see an amazing future for him impersonating brands and doing this because there's

just no depth that I feel like brands won't sink to an awkwardness when it comes to trying to wrap their messaging around the present moment. Although I was driving in a car for the first time in a long time today, and I noticed that the ads have stopped being kind of that same sentimental tone

that they all used to be. There's still some of those. But I also heard a personal, it's like one of those lawyers who gets you out of DUIs. And the lawyer was just like, let's face it, you're all hammered on your Zoom calls. Well, if you get arrested for being drunk and driving, then call me. It was just a really aggressive, I don't know. It seemed like he had given up or the advertising agency had given up.

Anyways, we're beyond the faux sentimentality, possibly, with DUI lawyers. With DUI lawyers. Well, you know, it had to happen at some point. All right, guys, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. Lucha Libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this. Lucha Libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment. Lucha Libre is a type of storytelling.

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? 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 lying. 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 just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. 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 okay, so there is a new study. We've kind of been talking about the fact that we were waiting for somebody to do a kind of rigorous statistical analysis of what the number of deaths would be during the time period from March, April, May, like through the pandemic,

like what it would normally be in a normal year given who Americans are demographically and what it actually was because that is traditionally the best way to take a step back and like see the actual effect of an event. And they came out with a number that through the first two and a half months, it was 122,000 extra deaths.

So 122 people at the very least died from COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. just by looking at that data. And, you know, it's not far from uh where the actual numbers were it's i think the actual numbers through the end of may were like closer to a hundred thousand but it's still yeah it's in the still more six figures yeah yeah i mean basically so you know this is i think what So, you know, this is, I think, what most of us, at least what I was assuming, was that, you know, they couldn't catch every single COVID-19 death. So there were some people who were dying who were not, you know, they either hadn't been tested, especially earlier on. And that's kind of exactly what they found that early on, there were a lot of extra deaths that were not attributed to COVID-19. And as the pandemic has gone on, and as the medical community has like learned more, they've gotten better at like shrinking that gap. So now we're at least the people uh who are dying of the disease and

like properly attributing it to uh the pandemic but it's it's basically the opposite of what the president said which was that they were that there was a exaggeration that they were giving uh the pandemic credit for extra deaths it's that they were missing quite a few and they were missing quite a few in specifically in texas and arizona which you know are aggressively conservative local governments where you know there seems to have been some inter and also florida and there seems to have been some internal pressure to undercount. And that is directly resulting in what we're seeing right now in those states. It is the watching. I mean, it's existed for the entire pandemic so far, but watching kind of an increase in like the normalizing of like, well, this is going to continue to happen like we're like the getting used to it

this um is very disturbing especially when it's coming from like very cool-headed elected officials that are like so as we know we are going to lose thousands of people however bars are open like it's just right i don't know it That's very disturbing. And also it makes it so difficult. I've been thinking about this a lot lately about how it's difficult to take any number that you're given at face value and it's safe to kind of round it up because it benefits any elected official

that wants to open their city, state, whatever it may be, to downplay what is happening. Well, they're saying, because of the course of the pandemic, thousands more people are going to die. It's just a fact. So we might as well just get on with it. It's just so callous and disregards any potential solutions you could be offering to people

who are disproportionately affected by covid which it seems like nowhere is taking those precautions it is all like citizen-based mutual aid initiatives that are you know at least attempting to help people it's just well even in i was gonna say even in la our numbers are so off because if you remember we had those times when they shut down the testing to punish us for protesting. And then now I just saw Katie Stoll tweet and was like, you can't even get an appointment right now. And so I've been lucky to go in and I've gotten tested twice just because I was out being active and protesting for a couple of weeks. And so it

was important to me if I was keep going out to get tested. But they did this to us at UT. I went to school in Austin. And when H1N1 was out, they actually wouldn't test us because if you get too many positive cases, they had to shut the school down. So they would just tell you basically to like go home, kind of like what's happening now is like, and that happened at the beginning of the pandemic as well, where it was just like, if you have these symptoms, just stay home, you know, but like, if you have these symptoms, just stay home, you know, but like, so you're not actually so a lot of these people who might have COVID symptoms are not even getting tested. Or sometimes, especially if you're here in LA, you can't even get tested for several days. And there's still cities where like public testing is still not even an option. Like my, my hometown there, it's still only available to uh first responders or people with

pre-existing conditions you can't just go and i was lucky to get tested this morning but it was because you literally like i i just have the tab open on my computer all the time and some days you'll refresh it and okay we care about citizen like lives today and you can get an appointment today and then the next day the website is totally different and it's gone and there's no options and it's like it's it's fucking impossible it's yeah i went on monday to dodger stadium it was the most uh the most i've ever felt like i was in like a dystopian like end of times movie for sure like the big Garcetti jumbotron being like greetings

I'm the worst person to ever live on a jumbotron in both English and Spanish and you know I'm poopoo nepotism like it's just so frustrating and you have to turn to hear the audio you have to

turn your radio to like an am station which they don't have in movie yeah but they don't have it like down so it's like wow wow like it's like got this like horrible like sounds like it's coming through a ham radio like in the 1800s like it's just so bleak feeling. There was a line that went probably three miles away from Dodger Stadium, just lines of cars, people sitting in them just like, you know, going up. Fortunately, I did not like, I wasn't going because I felt sick at the time. I had like made it a few days before when I felt a little bit sick.

But I was just imagining imagining this must be awful for anybody who feels sick right now to get testing. And I think just anecdotally, I think that we're probably going to see a huge spike in the next a huge spike in the next, you know, few days in Los Angeles just because, you know, last week, I know people who went to Dodger Stadium and there was no line whatsoever. They just went in and got tested immediately. And I have to assume like this huge influx of people who are getting tested is because people are feeling sick. Yeah.

And as of last week, I think that the report was that it was like between 4% and 5% of tests were coming back positive. It was like the rate, if you can get tested, it's probably because you feel sick. I will say a shout out to the people who are actually working at Dodger Stadium. The number of cars they were processing and the speed with which they gave me the results was pretty staggering. Like really well done on their part. Everyone's so nice.

And they have those little claws. I like the claws. Yeah, the claws, the little grabber things. You're like, oh. Yeah, that I usually use on the weekend when I don't want to move. And I just like use it to pick things up around me.

I was going to say, did y'all already mention the Oklahoma cases? No. OK, so Oklahoma is seeing this is from Politicus USA, but it's being reported in like other places where Oklahoma is seeing 100 percent positive test rate for COVID-19 following Trump's Tulsa rally. So like those testing places that they're doing it, like all of the cases are coming back positive. Oh my God. A hundred. I mean,

it says 500 tested in two days and they all came back positive. Ridiculous. Yeah. I can like send this to y'all so you can include have the link of it but um i mean it's just i don't know it seems obvious to me and i don't see how it's not obvious to anybody else at this point like how anybody's still claiming like that there's a panic but this is one of those cases where it's really it's not fun to be right it's actually horrifying but no it's horrible and also it's i mean classifying it still as a panic you're like

yeah there's there's every cause for panic why is panic a bad word in this situation yeah um well let's talk about somebody else who was panicking. That gun-toting lawyer from Mike Judge's rejected pilot, the gun-toting lawyer. So we're getting a little bit more information on the surrounding of the McCloskeys, the married couple who was standing out with a MR-15 and a handgun, threatening people

who were walking by their house, which that's what it was. It was people standing on their lawn, pointing guns at people who were walking by their house. But he's making the rounds, and according to his version of events, it was like the storming of the Bastille, and what had happened was his neighborhood,

which is a gated community, they had just crashed through the gates, and that's why he was out there. They were coming for him and for his family. He basically said like, it was terrorism and intimidation. Okay, good for him for feeling that way. Yeah.

Meanwhile, when you look at the video, it's just people being like, yeah, don't stop. Don't just ignore them as they walk by them. That's so, also it's kind of funny that he uses storming of the best deal because like if he knew like the historical president for that the people who stormed the best deal were aggrieved citizens who were correct and the people in the best deal

were evil so that uh you know that what yeah okay i don't know I'm like I always I'm like why do we give these like losers platforms after they have publicly showed their ass in such a stupid way but it is also like I mean they just continue to show their ass I guess it's kind of I don't know I don't know yeah it's I mean it's mixed I saw um my friend brody who was like please stop making fun of this it's terrifying and like i get it you know it's like how many of these people these white folks with guns or these karens that everyone keeps going but like it's like you said just rinse and repeat and you know this video of like a karen smackingacking an indigenous woman and then getting her ass handed to her. But it's also just like, and it's great.

Everyone's like dunking on them. But at some point it's just like, this is what we're saying, that this is just like, you know. And I think people use comedy as a way to cope with what's going on. But also I think like just making fun of white people being allowed to be out with their guns is really triggering. Yeah. So it is, it's kind of like what you're saying, Jamie,

like how often, how many times are we going to like give them this platform? I will say that I enjoyed seeing at the, at the beginning of when this was happening, that guy from the law and order show was like the spinoff show. Do you remember? He was like, not a show runner,

but he was like one of the writers and he took a picture in west hollywood i'm like fuck out of here with i'm like who's gonna attack you and fucking we ho but whatever he he had his he had like a massive gun that he was in front of his and he was like like basically saying like he was gonna shoot up looters or whatever right and he got fired um drew jonda actually shout out to Drew, is the one that got him fired because he took that picture from Facebook or whatever and posted it.

Oh, good for Drew. Yeah, I mean, stuff like that is like, okay, at least there are, I guess, yeah, in the situation with this lawyer, there are no consequences. He's just getting a sustained platform to continue to talk his shit and like and then it just becomes this uncomfortable situation where it's like i guess the only thing you can do is make fun of

him but you know it's like the media is actively making a decision to platform this person totally as opposed to like there are still protests going on that should be that are not getting recognition that still have thousands of people showing up. Even the latest one that was in Chicago and everyone's like, nobody is looking at this. And instead it's literally all of the media is covering these two dumb asses with guns as opposed to the people on the ground still trying to do the work.

So I definitely understand the frustration here. I mean, at least the guy that worked on the Law & Order show got fired. But it's also like when Dick Wolf does a good thing, what, you know, if Dick Wolf does a good thing and no one's there to see it, did it happen? He's still in charge of the largest cop cop again, uh, operation on the planet. I don't know.

Do we know? Is his name Richard Wolf? And he goes by Dick Wolf because that's such an amazing, uh, like that is a decision. Richard. Yeah. Richard Anthony Wolf.

He could have been Tony Wolf, but he made, he made the choice. Well, shout out to them though, for immediately firing him. Yeah. Like immediately they've made a statement.

That factors into something that it was, has been on my mind recently as well, which is like that. It is so positive and like affirming to see people held accountable for, uh, being hateful and being like literally an unsafe person uh to be working with that said it is still really frustrating to me that the only conceivable way that i have seen this be accomplished is through like a company or a

an executive's anxiety about like being publicly shamed. That is the only thing I've ever seen result in anything. Jamie, you saw what happened with me with that guy from Sovos, the guy that I got fired. And it's true. So just a background listener is a account executive sent me a picture of his dick. And he caught me on the bad fucking morning because I just was like fuck this shit I'm not gonna deal with this anymore sorry for the language and I tweeted it out I said who is this guy um get me his info I want his work and the internet is terrifying because uh within 10 minutes it was like this is where he works here's his LinkedIn he also then changed we knew it was him because he immediately changed his LinkedIn last name. And like, I'm like, no,

I was like, honey, who do you think we are? We're very petty. This is the internet. They're gonna, you know? And so what I did is I tagged, like people were tagging the Sovos executives and I emailed them. And in my email was like, hi, I'm a writer for Netflix. I do this and that. Like I think adding the extra pressure of like this isn't going away. Right. And it sucks that because I have a platform, I was able to get him fired. And he was fired within an hour. They sent me a thing and was like, you know, this isn't.

And I cc'd my manager. I definitely brought in like don't fuck with me energy. cc'd my manager i definitely brought in like don't fuck with me energy and and they were like you know that he doesn't comply with our standards and we feel that this warrants a public statement and it was because i was used my platform right and there are so many people who don't have my platform who can't do that but it was from the anxiety it wasn't necessarily because they wanted to it was like this bitch is unleashing everybody on us right it's it's it's so frustrating to feel pretty certain that it's like if you don't have a huge following and a company or whatever entity it is doesn't have a real and present concern that people will find out nothing happens like they're true i don't know

i had i had an issue recently that was like ended up being handled internally but it was completely connected to the fact that they were afraid that if they didn't do something that i would say something and everyone will be mad at them and it's like well thank you for basically telling me that you don't give you don't actually give a shit about what's happening you're just you know it's a pr issue and i do want to say that's happened to me too that jamie and i have talked about where i've come forward privately to some studios and they don't do anything so when you see me go public like a couple years ago during me too i was public about several things i want people to know that's because privately they didn't do anything. And so a lot of times people will be like, why are you dragging him in public? Blah, blah, blah. I'm

like, that's because that's the only way that they will react. There have been years of failure that like to handle it privately. And I want to say none of these women, like if we are talking, you know, not to totally push this into me too, but like none of these women actually want to come forward. It sucks. I never want to have, I don't want to spend one, my day doing this, tracking down this guy or whatever, or like having, I want to work, you know, I'm a writer. I want to just do my work and make my art. I don't want to have to go to HR of my studio and say that this man did this thing. And so none of us actually want to be public. You know, when people interview me, I want them to ask me about my stuff, not about this shit. But like a lot of us have to be public you know when people interview me i want i want them to ask me about my stuff not about this shit but like a lot of us have to be public because that's the

only way they're scared and like jamie's saying like they don't actually want to do the right thing they're just scared they're going to get canceled so yeah anyways that was my tangent that was my rant um one detail about uh just going back to this story, because I do like granted, I don't think this guy should be platformed. But I hadn't heard the detail of like why the people were going to the mayor's house to protest. Apparently, the mayor had like doxed a bunch of protesters. And so that's why they were going. And also the police had like blocked off a bunch of the other ways that they could have gone. So they were like forced to walk through this neighborhood.

They're walking to like on the street and these people come out waving their guns and claiming that they are being attacked. And it's just something I don't know. We're seeing more and more on social media that plainly entitled people experience discomfort for the first time in their lives. Exactly, exactly. All right, and then real briefly, we've just been talking about Trump and Russia putting hits on US troops, the fact that there's been intelligence

that suggests this for a while, and he either was not told or was told and ignored it. He has chosen to claim that the whole story is a hoax. We'll probably have to just wait for the details to roll in. But from the reporting, it seems pretty evident that he either knew and ignored or the intelligence community were slow rolling the information so they could actually get something done before he became aware of it and stopped them from doing

anything because that's uh generally how he can be counted on to behave with regards to russia um with regards to Russia. But, so in contrast to that being his official policy that the American intelligence is a hoax, there's this other story that is recently making the rounds that he thinks wrestling is real. That WWE wrestling. When will it end? is real.

When will it end? In response to this story and others that suggests that the president is completely oblivious to everything that's happening around him, Kay Mac, we'll call her,

the press secretary was like, the president is the most well-informed person on the planet Earth. I literally think that was a direct quote. That's what she said. And so Jensen Karp tweeted a story. He worked at Monday Night Raw for WWE as a writer.

And when there was a storyline in the 2000s that uh vince mcmahon uh got into a limousine and you saw it blow up uh and apparently president donald trump immediately called his office uh to make sure he was alive because he, and so that's a true story that Deadspin had actually reported back in 2016. So we have independent verification that the president,

when somebody died in a WWE storyline, thought that they were really dead. No. And that was back when you look at him speak during that time, he's actually noticeably way more coherent than he is currently. It's so embarrassing. Yeah, it's just like thinking your soap operas are real. Get a life.

Yeah. My God. Yeah. I feel like wrestling is real for a lot of people though so i know i mean i love i love wrestling and i'm invested but danny is pro trump first of all wow way to but it's like once you're not a child any like you know like once i started it's i feel like the the journey with wrestling is the same one you have with the disney channel where you're like oh hannah montana is not a real person it's a character played by a person like you you figure that out when you're you're you, maybe. I don't know.

Yeah. I don't know. I remember going back to my friend, like when I was, I guess I was like seven or eight, and I went over to my friend's house. Okay, I was 13. I went to my friend's house, who we had watched wrestling when we were younger,

and she was still like thought wrestling was real and i remember like not wanting to spoil it for him and like just kind of going with it but like feeling and this is a brag and a huge flex on my part but when i was seven i knew wrestling was fake uh that's the moral of the story so uh no big deal but i want to say until I was like 18, I thought it was library. And then furthermore, I thought Santa Claus had an E at the end of it because of Tim Allen's movie, The Santa Claus. I had that same issue. I thought that probably also until I was like 17 or 18

and somebody on Facebook corrected me, which is the worst way to figure out that you're wrong about something. Yeah. So. I called it a mon lower for the first 20 years of my life. The first how many? A mon lower.

20, like into college, I was calling it a mon lower. Because I think it was like, I at some point learned it was wrong, but my family thought it was cute. I'm like, oh, let's just keep this rolling. Oh man. little kids pronunciation of things the best uh especially when they're 19 years old especially when they're filing their taxes

uh all right let's take another quick break and we'll be right back When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and of course, lucha libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this. Lucha libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment. Lucha libre is a type of storytelling. It's a dance. It's tradition. It's culture. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask,

a 12-episode podcast in both English and Spanish about the history and cultural richness of Lucha Libre. And I'm your host, Santos Escobar, the emperor of Lucha Libre and a WWE superstar. Santos! Santos! Join me as we learn more about the history behind this spectacular sport from its inception in the United States to how it became a global symbol of Mexican culture.

We'll learn more about some of the most iconic heroes in the ring. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask. Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of My Cultura podcast network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you stream podcasts. It was December 2019 when the storyHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite.

I got swept up in Kabir's journey. But this was only the beginning in a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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? 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. A 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 just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies. When the civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. 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. Hello, everyone. I am Lacey Lamar. on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. network you thought you had fun last season well you were right and you should tune in today for new fun segments like sister court and listening to lacy's steamy dms we've got new and exciting guests like michael beach that's my husband daphne spring daniel thrasher peppermint morgan jay and more you gotta watch us no you mean you have to listen to us i mean you can still watch us but you gotta listen like if you're watching us you have to tell us like No, you mean you have to listen to us. I mean, you can still watch us, but you got to listen. Like, if you're watching us, you have to tell us.

Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. podcast. And we're back. And as we do on this show, we wanted to check in with a meme that was circulating days ago. So days after it's relevant. Second rate energy. Second rate energy second rate energy of our second rate podcast uh but i did just kind of start thinking about it last night and also uh you know the preponderance of uh evidence from these memes i i now have some different snacks that i'm interested in trying. So I wanted to perform this service for the audience. It is a service and you're welcome. So I wanted to talk about the gas station meal meme.

What is your gas station meal? What is the food that you will put together if and only if you're in a gas station, like what are some things that you only buy there? I can start off. Please, please start the conversation. So gas station is really the only place these days that I ever drink full sugar Mountain Dew.

Wow. Usually it's a Mountain Dew Zero these days or a Diet Mountain Dew in my personal life. Often I will indulge in a code of some color when I am at a gas station. Could you give an example of a code color? Red is one of them. Oh, okay. A classic.

I think there was a blue at some point. I think those varietals might have more caffeine and sugar in them. I know that Baja Blast does anyways. So Mountain Dew is a strictly gas station indulgence at this point, and I will sometimes get those big old ones, the tall boys, the wide-mouthed tall boys. So I realize I only get peanuts in those like tall thin bags uh in gas stations when i'm looking for a healthy healthy snack do you get the spicy ones i like the spicy

i like the spicy ones too i like the honey roasted so not feeling too healthy but just more healthy than flaming hot cheetos which is what i get when I'm not feeling healthy, and I only get those at gas stations. And then finally, Big Cup Reese's with the Reese's Pieces inside. Those are my gas station picks. And then any icy or slushy or slurpy varietal. Love them. Good use of the word varietal. Love to use varietal.

When this meme was coming around this for okay this for me was like uh you know when someone like it's like when your friend gets into your thing and then all of a sudden they're talking about your thing and you're like wait hold on this was my thing there that's how i felt about the gas station meme because i've like i i eat almost exclusively at the gas station i know every i know where it is i know i have my friends there and so for people to just like pop up and be like hey i've eaten a chip before for me i'm like okay like congratulations on your chip but we've been out here. We've been at the gas station for years and years.

So that being said, there is so much more. I feel like people are really going to, they're like, I have a chip. I have a chip and a sip. And sometimes if I'm feeling out of control, I'll have a hot dog. Okay, there are so many good options at the gas station. I'm a 7-Eleven person currently, but I've been other, I used to be at Cumberland Farms back in the day. There's places you can go, a.m. to p.m., a lot of options.

What you can get that is good at 7-Eleven is their salads. Salads are expensive, especially in Los Angeles. Salads are very expensive. And so you find yourself saying, I wish I could get a salad for $5. Where would a salad for $5 be? 7-Eleven.

The ingredients are pretty much fresh. There is more other things than lettuce in it, but it's good and it's never made me sick. That's important. Gas station sushi, never gotten sick, but it's good and it's never made me sick. That's important. Gas station sushi, never gotten sick, but never enjoyed it necessarily. There's so many options. You can eat

vegan at a 7-Eleven. I don't think we're legally allowed to recommend 7-Eleven sushi. I think our legal department would have an objection to that because we might kill someone. I get called out every time, but it's not like... I mean, I don't eat it anymore.

I've moved on to the salads, but that, you know, that you can get a healthy option and a diet Dr. Pepper and then get out of there. Well, you can have the sushi that doesn't have sushi in it, which is what I do sometimes. It'll be like the rice and then it'll have avocado and cucumber. Right. So there you go.

You're not getting like a rainbow roll with all the different types of fish. No, you're just carb loading like crazy. So Diet Dr. Pepper and salad and sushi are your picks, Jamie? DDP, salad. If you're needing a little extra something uh i would throw in some uh some maybe a chip maybe a chip or maybe one of their um what you

call it they're weird like like rollers the things the rollers anything yeah people get a little nervous around the rollers, but I say give it a shot and then take a COVID test a couple days later. Wow. They should be sold together as like an extra value meal. They should, yeah. Yeah. All right, Dani, what is your gas station meal?

Well, I'm going to one-up you, Jack, because I get the healthy Mountain Dew, which is Kickstart. It's the one that has vitamins in it. I would have picked that if I didn't buy them by bulk at Ralph's. So I can't say that's an exclusively gas station thing. There's some fancy gas stations in West hollywood that only i would be

down there if i had to take a meeting um and was forced to go down there but um the baked peas which are healthy do you know what i'm talking about the ones that you're supposed to put on your salad but i never do that i just eat the entire bag right and your fingers get all like jimmy do you know what I'm talking about? I think so, yeah. Do they have like wasabi, the wasabi piece? Yes. Yeah.

Those are great. That and like the sea salt ones. I also only at gas stations get Fiji water because I want to feel rich. That is, that's like going to the hair cuttery in Beverly Hills. You're like, it's like, like it is technically a really fancy thing to do. Yeah.

And I'm pretty sure it's just the same as all the other water in there. But for some reason at gas stations, I specifically get Fiji water and I leave feeling good about myself. Like, I don't know. Just treat yourself once in a while to a rich person thing, you know. And how much are they? They're like the tiny little bottles are like, I think $6 or something. So $6 and you can feel rich as hell. Are they really $6?

Are they? They're like $5 to $6, right? The big ones get pretty expensive. I'll occasionally flex and get like one of those tiny little chameleon coffee cans. If I'm feeling like a millionaire, I'll just like strut in yeah i don't know there is something very strange about anytime i am at the 7-eleven and like everything is rung up and it costs over ten dollars you're like something's wrong something's gone wrong it can happen though it's happened to me the cashier look at each other like with disbelief.

Wait, what? It only happens a few times a day. And you're not buying a carton of cigarette? Right, unless you're getting like White Claw or like cigarettes. That's how you crack the two. Honestly, nuts are very expensive. Like the caramel roasted almonds or some stuff.

I mean, mine is just like, yeah. And I would say dried mango, but I'm pretty sure it's like dipped in sulfuric acid, like, you know, to keep it good. Like never look at the back of those dried fruit things. We dip these in battery acid? I'll sometimes dip into like astar, a Diet Rockstar, the textured white can.

Those can be fun. Above ground pool. Some Stroopwafels. They sell packs of two Stroopwafels. Love a Stroopwafel. Also, Rockstar has a healthy, I think, a healthy in quotes. They have a healthy. But if you want to treat yourself,

get yourself some red vines, bite off the top, put it into your Rockstar, and that's your funky, silly straw. Wow. And it's saving the environment. I used to love to do that when I was trying to look flirty.

You know what I mean? Having a candy straw and then being like, hi, like that, does that resonate with anybody? It's gonna make your road trip to see your stepdad that you hate like that much better. So. All right, let's pick our Netflix rewatch.

Jamie, you're gonna be with us on Monday again, correct? Yes. All right. So we have an interesting Netflix top 10. Floor is Lava, still number one with a bullet. I'm sweating. Eurovision, number two. Eurovision, number two, the new Will Ferrell film that apparently has some slap, some really good music in it.

George Lopez has a new comedy special, The Order, which I still don't know what that is, even though it's been on this list for a couple days. Is it a stand-up special? The Order. No, sorry. The Order is a separate show that has somebody in a ram skull

on the cover of it, or at least in my thumbnail. But then again, Netflix has always known that I'm a big fan of people wearing ram skulls. 365 Days still hanging in the top 10. Crazy Delicious, which somebody reached out and said they would like us to do a detailed analysis.

I don't know Crazy Delicious. Is that like a cooking show where they just put really wild stuff in there? Yeah, I think, wait, who hosts that show? I have fallen asleep to this show before not okay the best glowing review if you would like to get better sleep watch oh wait no i'm thinking of a different show where it's like with uh nicole byer no i would never fall asleep to that show i love that that show. That show's amazing. I stay awake. No, I was thinking of the action Bronson cooking show.

Right. I've definitely fallen asleep to that one. Fucking Delicious or something like that. Yeah, something delicious. Feel the Beat. Still don't know what that is. The Nut Job is somehow still in the top 10. We've got two ableist pun-based shows,

Crazy Delicious and The Nut Job. Oh, good. pun-based shows, Crazy Delicious and The Nut Job. Oh, good. Dark is a German lost type show that I have actually watched episodes of, so that's probably what I'm gonna go with. And then at number 10, Gaspar Knows Love, which is the, we've talked before,

it's been in here for a while, it's the porno from the guy who made Enter the Void. Oh, has anyone done that one yet? No, we have not. before it's been in here for a while. It's the porno from the guy who made Enter the Void. Oh, has anyone done that one yet? No, we have not. I guess I'll try it. It's pretty graphic. Ooh.

Yeah. All right, so you'll do love. I'll do dark. We're bringing up nine and 10. I've heard, uh, Eurovision is good. And I feel like, uh,

talking about a good comedy is not going to be that interesting, uh, to be like, yeah, man, it was, it was funny. I enjoyed it just as suspected.

No notes. No notes. but yeah, uh, I'll probably watch that too at some point and check in with it. Cool. So dark and love. Yes. Please join me

on this dark journey that I'm apparently going to take. Dark love. Well, Danny, it has been a pleasure having you on the Daily Zeitgeist. Where can people find you, follow you, hear you, enjoy you? Oh, well, you know, I have my own podcast

on this network called Nerdificent. What? Where we tackle nerdy things with our friends and try and dissect and do deep dives and also remove gatekeeping that happens still in the nerd community. I'm also at Ms. Dani Fernandez, M-S-D-A msda and i i can't even remember how to spell my name it's probably tagged on here at msda and i f-e-r-n-a-n-d-e-z um what else oh yeah i'm on

sci-fi is the great debate this season so my episode i think drops this upcoming week so you can check me debating with oh debating with freaking with freaking Yasser Lester. Wow. The man behind. So this is really funny. One of the episodes we shot for The Great Debate had a live studio audience. The other one, the final one that we shot was the day Shelter in Place was announced. And so we had no studio audience. So it was me and Yasser and Reggie watts and open mike eagle and baron vaughn just dicking around um where it was just off the rails so i'm very fascinated to see

if this show if that final episode is just like 10 minutes long because we were just comedians trying to make each other laugh and as we do being dumb asses so i'm excited to watch that's great and is there a tweet or some other work of social media you've been enjoying yes oh my gosh so somebody just tweeted victoria guida i think said i'm beginning to think hindsight is 2020 was some kind of message from a future time traveler that we all misunderstood. And my mind is blown. That's amazing. Makes you think.

Really does. 2020. Jamie, where can people find you and what's a tweet you've been enjoying? You can find me on Twitter at Jamie Loftus Help. Instagram at Jamie Christ Superstar. You can listen to Bechtelcast. You can listen to My Year in Mensa. New

episodes of Robot Chicken are coming out right now. So there's some stuff to be seen over there. And a tweet I will find. It's more of an informative tweet, but it gave me a brief moment of not feeling like total dog shit. So it's from at annabelle greer and

it says finding out that kellyanne conway's daughter is on tiktok and is super anti-trump and has dozens of pro blm tiktoks and tiktoks telling trump supporters to go fuck themselves is the bright spot of 2020 i didn't know i was going to get, but Def needed. And then on that thread is a bunch of screenshots from Kellyanne Conway's daughter's TikTok. And yeah, so the dinners at that house are wild. And I hope that, so I don't know. Yeah, we talked about that on yesterday's trending. It's pretty great. Well, god damn it. Yeah, we talked about that on yesterday's trending. It's pretty great.
