I'm just here to collect zooming through here. Just ads. I'm just here to collect a paycheck and look. That's right.

Oops. Just ads. My favorite cereal. Everybody's favorite. Everybody's favorite podcast. Special. All right. But before we get to you, Chris, we're going to get to know you a little bit better. Okay.

Okay. But first, a couple of things we're talking about. We're going to do some videos. We got a right-wing video block where we're going to check in with Peter Teal, see how he's doing with the whole CEO killing and people being happy about it. And he doesn't seem to really know how to deal. And we'll check in with a Senator from Tennessee who had a rough week last week.

Maybe we'll look at Paddington. Maybe we'll look at the war on Christmas.

It's impossible to know at this point as I am talking to you. But first, Chris, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? And make it brief. Well, we did the just stuff I look at. I look at a lot of stuff. You do look a lot of stuff. This is kind of, I would say, we're getting a lot of stuff, man. Check it out.

Next question. Keep it. The internet. And YouTube wouldn't fail. Go to YouTube and put it in fail compilation out YouTube. Next question. Next question. Keep it. The internet. Put in YouTube. Put in fail.

Go to YouTube and put in fail compilation and you'll have fun for so long. All right. And we're heading over. And keep calm and chive on. Seriously. It's so fun. Keep calm and chive on. There's like, there's hundreds of them.

There's hundreds of them. There's, there's a bottomless trove. I'm not kidding. There's dozens of them. In general, check out YouTube. There's hundreds of them. There's hundreds of them. There's, there's a bottomless trove. I'm not kidding. There's hundreds of them. There's hundreds of them. There's, there's bottomless truth. I'm not kidding.

There's dozens of them. In general, check out YouTube. There's like hundreds of videos on there. Many videos are on there at this point. Hundreds, hundreds, at least hundreds. I mean, you can watch it all day. So fail videos on YouTube, YouTube fail videos.

That's your search history. What a lady dancing who falls down. Okay. There's more than one. There's more than one. That's your search history. What a lady dancing who falls down. Okay. There's more than one. There's more than one. That's happened a lot. I find that hard to believe. Okay.

No, but you guys have my videos. Okay. Yeah. So is this your search history? Yeah. My search history. Yeah. My search history is always videos because I don't know because I'm a shut in.

Yeah. All right. So we have shut ins. No offense. I know I'm taking some of the best of us on behalf of the shut-ins. None taken. All right. So it's a great time to shut in Renaissance. You, you said two videos.

I watched them both the second one. I think I immediately zoomed in on what you had in mind. The first one, I got to admit I'm a little baffled by. So we're going to watch it. The big foot? What, the actual footage of Bigfoot? Are you baffled by that? So is that what it is? Is that where you're baffled by? I guess you're baffled by that. I guess I'm straightforward.

Something that exists is confusing you. So Super Producer Bay, are you able to bring up the first video LinkedIn act to under the heading crossed in video block exclamation point. Uh, it is titled Paul Freeman, big foot footage. I can give you a little background on it. Paul Freeman is this guy who is, uh, he's like become known for this video. He shot it in 1994 and it's. He'd been tracking big foot for a long time.

And he, one day he was hanging around this logging camp where he found some footprints and then he saw a big foot. I'm less, less interested in the fact that he saw a big foot and I'm more interested in what he says, there he goes. And Jesus, because those are the two. I have been saying those all the time. Now, anytime I see anything I go there he goes Jesus

So I this is I'm hoping this will end up on some soundboard for the daily zeitgeist. That's really what this is about This is also extremely real and compelling big foot footage and then the last like three weeks I've gone fully I'm fully convinced the big foot is real and I mean that did seriously Yeah, but but but but. But I fluctuate. Then you might catch me in a couple other weeks and I'll be like, you know, maybe. But right now I'm convinced. So anyway, Paul Freeman.

I'm getting you at the right time. Paul Freeman, Paul Freeman, 1994, somewhere in Washington state, I think. This was shot in downtown Chicago in 2016. And you can tell it's 1994 by Paul Freeman, in 2016. And you can tell it's 1994 by Paul Freeman, because it is copyrighted. So we might get it. Oh man, if you find Bigfoot, you get to copy. I mean, you slap a copy.

People will say, oh, we copyrighted it. That means it's fake. Wrong. I say that means it's real. Exactly. Blake. It seems like a POV shot taken from inside a Bigfoot costume. Like that was my first.

I was like, is this Bigfoot's like where is the Bigfoot footage? Is it Bigfoot? We're really listening for here he goes. Jesus. This is nothing to do really with big. This guy needs to hear. He's just it's he's going to say, here's the brush popping. the the the

the the the the the Wait, there was, you missed it. Those are the two only good things. Oh, I got it. There he goes. Oh, there you go. Jesus. Can we take it back? Cause there he goes.

Jesus. Cause the rest of it is get up here. I'm seeing you. Not really a hill by the way. Right. You better, better picture. Listen, one of the requirements, if you want to see big foot, you have to have COPD. Yeah. It's a better picture. Listen, one of the requirements, if you want to see big foot, you have to have COPD.

I'm like so worried about this guy's cardiovascular health. This guy has a wake apnea. What is going on with this guy? So that's it. It's, it's really good footage of a big foot and, and really, I mean, it's, I just was hoping we could get that, you know, there he goes, there he goes on a loop. He also says, I hear that brush popping, which I look, yeah, you hear the brush popping, that's how you track a big foot. If we don't play it anymore, that's fine.

But that's what you guys should look for. You should go on YouTube and put in like, you know, put in any animal that you're looking for and then you Bigfoot or, you know, you can find, you can find any animal on yeah, crypto animals, you know, fake animals, doge coin. Yeah. So Paul Freeman, famous Bigfoot hunter. Is that what I'm to understand? And I mean, yeah, he's just a persistent guy who hangs around the woods, you

know, and, and, and, um, Bigfoot is, uh, is like, it looks just like a tree. I mean, it looks just like a tree. It's as tall as a tree too. So it hides out pretty well, you know, and, and let's say Chris, yes, he didn't look that tall to me, because that big, that Bigfoot didn't look that tall to me. Big foot. Or she. That big foot didn't look that tall to me. How big do we think this foot is? Arm chair, arm chair quarterbacks.

Okay. I just, I would have shot him differently. I would have shot him from down, down below maybe. Yeah, yeah. No, but I believe that is the most convincing because that guy is like not good at running the camera. He's not, he's not like, he's didn't set himself up well. He's not like he's wheezing and heaving and everything.

And he can't, he's not like, he's, if he was faking that he would have probably composed himself a little bit. Right. But it is the exact same quality of image as the Bigfoot photograph that we're familiar with. Like it's just, it's exactly that blurry, it feels like. Yeah, I mean, it's a, even a, I just love looking at weird stuff.

So, I mean, that to me is like, I think that is a real Bigfoot and based on, I mean, I've done a lot of research on this video. Like I don't just watch a video. No, no, no, no, no. I take a couple of days with a video. And I find out about Paul Freeman watch a video. No, no, no, no, no. No. I take a couple of days with a video. And I find out about Paul Freeman and I get an idea of his character and stuff like that. So I understand.

Yeah. Jack, I agree. Like, you know, like, you know, you know, that's like whatever you said about it. Whatever shit came out of your mouth about that, Jack. Well, no, yeah. Whatever disrespect you heaped on my friend Bigfoot, I've forgotten. But anyway, the idea is that, yeah, these things look bad, but I mean, Bigfoot does not look good. He's a shaggy guy.

He's got kind of a small head. His head's not as... His body's way bigger than his head. He has no neck. That's true. Yeah. They have no telegenic. The secret to being telegenic, they say, is having a head that's too big for your body. Like when you meet and cover it in hair.

Yes. And covered in hair. But when you meet actors, they all have like massive heads. Like it's the first thing you notice about them is like, wow, your head is. You're right. You're right. So Bigfoot's got is working against the line. He's working against the grain. He's got a lot going against. He's got a humongous body and a small head, which is terrible.

Lives in the woods. Looks like shit. Yeah, he does. Humongous body by design. Straight. And yet look how fat. Well, so I'll give a quick shout out to Rocky Mountain Bigfoot, if that's the correct site. But there's one called Rocky Mountain Bigfoot, where they have a video which I should have shown,

because I mean, this one turns out to be a dud, it seems like. But you got to know we got to end up with the soundboard where the guy says that, because that's the part. It's and that's why it's real. That guy is not if he was acting, would have been my goodness that thing is huge Or whatever. Yeah I mean, do you think this guy Paul Freeman doesn't wish he'd said something better than there he goes Mm-hmm Jesus

Scared when he says Jesus He's a legit guy who spent most of his life just doing the standard plaster cast of tracks. And then one day he got lucky and then he slaps a copyright on it and then cue the haters. Cue the haters and cue the money rolling in. Yeah, but I've gotten deep into Rocky Mountain. I think it's Rocky Mountain. I'll look it up while we're talking. You guys are like, oh good, look it up. Well, while you're looking that up, Chris, how big would a Bigfoot have to be for it to be as impressive as we want him to be? Like, he would have to be over seven foot, right? Like, could there be a basket? Like, he can't be in the sixes. As long as he looks looks as long as he is the size

Of somebody who when you meet them, you're like, did you? Sorry, I do have to ask. Did you play basketball? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, they he Bigfoot needs to at least look like he hooped a little bit. Yeah, that's and like he was the Drummer for the Allman Brothers band or something. Yeah, not in that order and for me to be honest, for me, that line is six foot four. That's after six foot six foot four. I'm like, so did you play like basketball or like six foot four is like pretty. Six four scans tall to me.

Maybe it's because I live in Los Angeles and like they're, you know, People are shorter in LA and I do feel like I'm not just saying that. Yeah, they are shorter. They are seven feet, you know, generally around seven, but then there's people who say they're 12 feet and that's when people get even Bigfoot people who believe in Bigfoot it's everyone's picky about their, you know what I mean? Like, yeah, they're like, okay. Yeah.

They're like, okay. Oh yeah. 12 was real, but they're not 12 feet tall. Right. I, there's a bunch of people who said they saw 12 feet foot tall, big foot, so they obviously need a pair of glasses. Like they get really like, people are really, people are really particular about their things they don't believe in. And like even the things they do believe in, they're like, yeah, that's

not a big foot are seven feet to eight feet tall and these reports about 12 foot that's just someone who's drunk or a moron yeah yeah that's a person who doesn't understand but but generally the bigfoot community is like you fool but this is but I will say that arguing about how big Bigfoot is beats being a fascist any day of the week. So I am glad that there are people who are still, you know, concerned about how tall Bigfoot is instead of concern with, like, you know, privatizing the post office. Yeah. Got to do it deregulate Chris. I mean, seriously, let's measure Bigfoot. 90% of Bigfoot than big government. Can we say that that's my

Yes, that's a great sticker and that's a way to make is a libertarian Chris. That's something I understand about him I'm not a Republican. I'm a libertarian. Oh Libertarian, right? I wish there was I wish well, actually I was about say, I wish that you were a libertarian so we could- I don't. No, that doesn't make any sense at all. I was going to say we could have a fight or something, but that's just me being caffeinated. Yeah. Yeah. Let's take a quick break.

Lingerie, topless. I said, yes, please. Because at the center of this murky world is an alleged predator. You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior? He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it. He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated. Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in.

It's called a Hi-Fi, if you didn't know. That's what we call it. Okay. And I was looking for some vinyl records that I play on my Hi-Fi system.

Good trail on there. Like one does in 2024. I was actually having fun just searching through eBay for all of the actual things that I had. all of the actual things that I had. Like I had my first two CDs, when that was like a new technology, were Daz Effects and Arrested Development. And I found, yeah, they won effects and Arrested Development,

long album title that I'm forgetting. And then I also went back and was looking at my tape collection and I could put my old tape collection back together.. Yeah did you have that Tevin Campbell tape for I'm Ready? No I did not. That was like one of the first cassettes I had. I think you always remember like the first piece of media that you actually get as a kid. Yeah. Because it feels like it's such an adult thing. Yes I had the REM automatic for the people tape and the tape itself was like kind of see through yellow. I was going through a real REM phase like at the end of my having

tapes era. Yeah. What's the frequency, Kenneth? Yeah. I don't know. Wrong album, but close enough. Look, that's how I love you will know. I huge R.A.M. fan. I love Michael Stripes. The other thing that I was looking for was this Flying Lotus album, his very first album called 1983. It's like one of my favorite albums and, you know, like Flying Lotus as a beat maker, producer.

You're a big Fly Low fan. Up there, you know, also from the San Fernando Valley. So I'd like to represent. And I found there are two copies on vinyl on eBay. Wow. Because I've only had like the digital versions, but they're not on streaming anymore. And I kind of have this thing with vinyl where I'm like,

if there's ever a solar flare and my MP3s are rendered inert, I'll always have my vinyl records. I don't know why that's what I always think about. Like these are the sounds I want to be around, but I found it and one person is selling it in Japan. So maybe I could message them and get maybe something on the low cause it's expensive. Yeah. It's interesting. Like some of the posters were really expensive,

but then some of the baseball cards are like so wildly inexpensive that I just feel like it has to be somebody's parents throwing out their baseball card collection. Yeah, exactly. And I mean, I think that's the great part about like, you know, it's all about how people value it. Some people are like, yeah, this is near and dear to me. And it's at this price. And some people are like, I found this and it's yours if you want it. And that's what I love about eBay, because look, we all got a thing.

And it's on eBay. Maybe it's fashion, car parts, trading cards, retro movie posters, anything you can collect. So go find the thing that keeps you up at night. Whatever you love, find it on eBay, eBay things people love. And we're back and Chris, what, what is something that you think's underrated? You've been on the show before I've been on the show and these are the things that I play around with.

I mess up. Like I have a hard time with these. What am I saying? What am I saying? Uh, why am I saying that? Why do I say that? That's my mom. That was my mom.

What am I saying? That was my mom talking through my body. Jesus Christ. I feel good and strong is what I meant to say. Yeah. I know exactly what segment this is. Our favorite. I know exactly what segment this is and I'm going to do it now.

Your heartbeat, just a steady line. Yeah. Steady. Hasn't gone up or down. Here we go. Here we go. Jesus. That's what the audience just said when I started talking.

There is a line from Royal Tenenbaums where one of the guy goes, there he goes about Owen Wilson's character that has been in my head non-stop ever since I heard it and nobody knows what I'm referring to. It's not a memorable line, but there's something about a sound drop with the phrase, there he goes, that I think is, we need a good there he goes. Oh, and Wilson's character in Royal Tenenbaum's Rules. The shot of him in his apartment with his paintings of those like ogres on motorcycles

or whatever. I Google it. I've been looking for those paintings for so long. So good. They're so loud. Okay. So overrated, I'm going to say something that obviously has been talked about by everybody in the whole world, but I'm going to say overrated is drones, drones, drones,

because I'm just going to say the joke that, that I, that I already said on my podcast, you know, it's Fox news in the sky. We'll be right back. You're listening to I Love Radio. Fox News in the sky. We'll be right back. You're listening to I love radio. It is possible. It's insane. Hey, thanks for getting us out of that one. Oh, I have more.

I'm not going to. It's not like a mic drop. I'm not going to be like, oh, yeah, like that was my big fire to gun. News in the sky. No, I just mean it's like, no, yeah, like that was my big fire to gun in the sky. No, I just mean it's like, no, I like it. I think it's clear. I love that the idea that there is a tipping point, even for the people who are supposed to be like whip, you're supposed to whip up hysteria, but you're not, you're supposed to whip up hysteria. So like the people in the gated communities can be safe because all the

poor people are turned against each other, but you're not supposed to whip up hysteria to the point where the people in the gated community start seeing planes and thinking they're drones. But that of course is inevitable. You can only stoke fear to the point where no one can control it anymore. I just think that's what's interesting is whoever's

in Rippling Hills gated community, like has gone crazy. The governor went out and filmed the big dipper or something was like they're everywhere I mean this is a great this is a great moment this is a great moment yeah there he goes and that's what I'm walking around at night and every way that every streetlight every star that they see oh Jesus Jesus and that is what goes that's what's happening no there he goes no I think it's the neighbor the neighbor's seeing the governor going Jesus, Jesus, and that is what's happening. No, there he goes. No, I think it's the neighbor, the neighbor seeing the governor going outside and

filming the skies, he's the one who's like, there he goes. Jesus, Jesus. So, so that's catching on. It's catching on. It is. It is. This is our hysteria. This is the hysteria you're creating is around, there he goes.

Jesus. So I just think it's interesting. I think it's interesting that the the the rich white people that are supposed to be whipping up this fear they're the ones who did it they're the ones who basically you know consume the media consume the you know they buy the Yetis that they advertise on Sean Hannity's show or whatever you buy yeti you know pants you know and they support Maybe less Yetis that you buy on Sean Hannity and more real Yetis. So these rich people.

Up in the polls. They don't have to be white, just rich people in general. Rich people who are in their, you know, licorice heights or whatever the hell the name of their, their, their gated community is. These rich people for the purpose of this are in the board game Candyland. But yeah, they're in like Goultch. Yeah Yeah, they live in peanut brittle junction

They're their damn gated community and they have like then they buy yeti pants and yeti shirts and buy their kids yeti car seats or whatever and is keep their babies cold and then they and then they and is keep their babies cold. And then they, and then they. I want a cold baby. I want a freezing kid. Whatever temperature you put that kid in there, they stay that for the rest of their lives. So yeah, so they, they buy all this stuff.

They fund the fear machine because they buy the stuff that they advertise on there. And then it's finally bit them in the ass. They think everything's a drone. And I just think, of course, what what I mean, it's an awful thing It's actually an awful thing that that that we've got the governor of New Jersey filming the Big Dipper and saying they're everywhere But I do think but boy, oh boy, man. It's just a little taste of uh, I don't know what like the next It's going to be yeah yeah. They, they were complaining that you're not allowed to shoot them to, you're not

allowed to shoot at the drones, a thing that they don't know what it is. They don't know that it's drones. I can't just fire my gun into the sky. You're now you're telling me I can't fire my gun into the sky. It's something I don't know. And they've said that a bunch of these things are passenger liners that they just don't they're just these people just think they're close to them, but they're far away and they've never looked in the sky before because of course they haven't

they've been too busy buying Yeti products and and watching you know, I don't know what shows they watch White Lotus probably that's not them. But I don't even know what shows are waiting a little uncomfortable for them. They've never looked at- Why did they just make a show that is just a vacation? That's just one of the only shows I know about. So, they're in there. What is this, only four stars?

They're in there watching, they're inside watching Boardwalk Empire. Yeah, let's get down to the board. Like typical pieces of shit, they got a Yeti car seat, keeping their baby the same temperature, they're watching Boardwalk Empire. I like the Yeti car seat a Yeti car seat, keeping their baby the same temperature. They're watching more walk empire. Um, yeah, of course.

Watching dead wood. Um, so anyway, I just think they've never looked at the sky before is the main takeaway. Right. Yeah. And now they're all looking at it. There's like, there's stuff everywhere. Look at all this shit. And they're going to shoot a passenger liner down. That's why the FAA is saying don't shoot. Right. Because you're shooting. And then on top of that, I

forget the other thing I was gonna say, but but you can't you can't. Yeah, they're gonna shoot it. They're gonna shoot an airplane down. And that's the end point of Fox News is somehow they've managed to make rich people who are safe as can be go Go so crazy. They're about to shoot passenger planes. What a beautiful pageant the United States is in 2024. Really strange times. The internet was a great idea.

Turns out. Yes. I don't think anyone could have seen this one. Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs is a genius. That guy. He brought us all together. He was so mean to his employees.

And like, that's how he got things done. That's how you get things done. That's how you do it. You pitch your boys against each other. What is something that you think is, did you say, so drones are overrated? Drones are overrated. Cause, cause I mean, overrated in the sense

that they're over hyped and, and we need a little context on these things. And over us. Yeah. I'm over it. I'm overrated in the sense that they're over hyped and we need a little context on these things. Over us. I'm over it. I'm over it. I'm over it. Thank you. And that's why we have them here folks. That's right. Keep it tight. Keep it quick. And we'll be right back. How do I turn my video off? We'll be right back. And that's a threat. Chris just cut through his hospital gown over his laptop. Oh my god, fuck off. Oh my god. That's terrible. I am not in a hospital. I've been out of

the hospital for days. That's such a good t shirt. You're always trying to tell me I'm in the hospital. I escaped from the hospital six hours ago. That gown's on the side of the highway. What, Chris, what is something you think is underrated? Oh, Jesus. Oh, I'm going to die.

Oh, God, underrated will do quickly. It'm going to die. Oh, God. Underrated. We'll do quickly. It's just my podcast. Good morning. Got me like every Monday, Wednesday, Friday. See what I did every Monday, Wednesday, Friday. It's seven minutes long.

And it's like I read a poem. I read some other poem and then I play a little bit of a song, like song of the day. And, um, sometimes I read aloud from a book, but it's like seven, eight minutes long and it's Monday, Wednesday, Fridays. It's called good morning. Got me like, it's on the same feed as cold brew got me like, and I think. It's kind of already a hit because it's just, it's easy for me to edit. It doesn't like freak me.

It takes, I can put one up in like an hour. You know, it doesn't freak me out. Yeah. It doesn't like freak me. I take I can put one up in like an hour. You know, it doesn't freak me out. Yeah, it doesn't like I mean, if you don't, I understand like Justin, the editor of Daily Zeitgeist or the, you know, the one when he says keep it tight, you know, I it starts to get desperate when you're editing multiple, I mean, you'll be like, keep it tight. You know, I mean, it's just like, yeah, yeah. It takes wedding bullets.

Just as never desperate, but he is always in the back of my mind, giving me the wrap it up. Yeah. Every time I'm talking. And I don't blame him. He's like, we need to make these podcasts five minutes long. I did one of Chris's podcasts. Oh, yeah. Really fun. That one was great. Yeah, I really enjoyed it.

That's called Brew Conversations. So go find me and Blake Wexler's conversation. It was so fun. We talked about, I really enjoyed it. That's cold brew conversations. So go find me and Blake Wexler's conversation. It was so fun. We talked about, I loved it. About how, um, we met. Blake went to a college where they had 150 seat theaters in the basement. I mean, for goodness sake. What college was that?

Emerson college, 150 seat theaters in the base black box theaters. Yeah. That's where I. In the basement of the dorm. That was the way so many comedy people are from Emerson a hundred percent. Yeah. Yeah Yeah We talked about that that Blake went to Emerson on purpose because a lot of comedians went there and Blake started doing stand-up when he Was like 15 years old. Mm-hmm. Makes sense. And now he's that's how he's 17 years old and he's already on the daily zeitgeist Turnable skills

already on the daily zeitgeist. That's why he has no discernible skills and is rude. All right. We got through that in a relatively snappy 30 minutes. Yeah, that was snappy. Bang. Punch it. There, there you go. Let's do a couple right wing videos.

I just wanted to check mainly this Peter Thiel video, because one of my main curiosities after the CEO assassination was just like, how are other CEOs, I got a little, little French press. Yeah. That's an American press brother. I don't know what you're looking at. You know what? I'm not going to talk about that cold brew thing, but anyway, go ahead.

Okay. I've had some issues with cold brew regarding sleep. Yeah, that is fair. Cold brew is aggressively captivating. Like sort of serious issues, like sort of serious. So I'm drinking giant amounts of regular coffee instead. Today, today, don't worry, don't get mad at me. Everybody's gonna get mad.

I'm furious. All right, so my main question, how like we've seen how the internet is responding to the assassination of the CEO of United Health Insurance. Oh, and hello the internet, by the way. We should mention that, hello the internet. Oh, and hello. And I do like to say hi to you up top.

Hello to you. But yeah, I've been really curious, like how are the CEOs taking this? Like, are they, you know, are they scared? Are they making sense of it? Are they like, well, this is only a matter of time, time to move to New Zealand. You know, just how they're going to have to have a response to this eventually. And so Piers Morgan had Peter Thiel on his show and was like, what do you make of this? The people who celebrate Luigi Mangione,

what are your thoughts, Peter? I just want to play his response. For those who aren't watching the video, he is bathed in flop sweat during the course of this answer. I just want to play it real quick for you because he has some interesting things to say. He's kind of eloquent on this one. And to those who think this shooter is a hero

because he did it because he said this healthcare executive was presiding over a healthcare system which kills thousands of Americans by denying them cover, what would you say to them? Okay, now that's not glitching out. He's just got his mouth open. And now he's going to answer. Any second. He's just thinking. It's open. I don't know what to say. I think, I still think you have,

you should try to make an argument. And I think this is, you should, you know, there may be things wrong with our healthcare system, but you have to make an argument and you have to try to find a way to convince people and change it by that. And this is not going to work. I don't know.

I mean, there are all sorts of things one could say about it, but I don't- I can't go over a single one. Yeah, why not try one? Why not try one? a single one. Yeah, why not? Why not try one? Why not try one? I don't want to go into all the particulars here, but I don't think about one heroic about him.

To defend Peter, there is a putty cat right off. And then he did think he saw. He saw the pudding can. Oh my God. Just a quote. Oh my God. First of all, he freezes for like nine seconds. He freezes for nine seconds and just like closes his mouth, opens his mouth, closes his mouth, opens it, and then says, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I,

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, Sick like he is covered in a sheen of sweat. He cannot speak Obviously if someone acts like that you shift the questioning from what do you think of Luigi? Mangione to what the fuck is the matter with you right now? I Am NOT kidding all this guy did was invent a payment system that lets people buy stuff on eBay and instead of, this guy has got something severely wrong with him. He's having like a medical emergency and they're asking him questions and he's not answering them and they're not saying like, are you okay?

They just let him have the floor because he invented PayPal. I mean, it makes me so angry. By the way, I've watched this before and it makes me so mad. Yeah, because you notice a new vein each time in his head or the more that you watch it, you know, the man. He this is by the way, he does not just do this is not an isolated incidents. He incident he on my podcast, Cole got me like we talked about. Sorry, we talked about. Yes, we had him on and he did the same fucking thing This is actually a canned answer I know it seems like he's been caught off guard This is his canned answer every bit of it word for word. Have you seen it?

It nails it. Have you seen him in other ones do this? No. No, I haven't seen him do quite this Okay, I think that he has been practicing this. Oh my God. I'm not kidding. He it's the best he can do. It's what he does. That is not weird for him. He stood up after that interview gave his home.

He has this bum and said, that's just what I do. I'm like Obama. Exactly. He jumped shot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I nailed it.

Swish. All right. Pierce speaks. So Cambridge, uh,. Swish. All right, Pierce. He speaks. So Cambridge, you know, Cambridge, England, they had him at some college, I guess. Is it Cambridge? Is that the name? Cambridge University. And they had him there to talk.

Yeah. He agreed to it. That's the thing is he agreed. That's the other thing is he agrees to his interviews and then he does that. Sure. Which means that's like, he thinks that's fine because I've seen him do it more than once in public. So he did it at this Cambridge thing.

They asked him questions about Israel and he did that exact same thing. He just said, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's. And then he said, but, and that's what he does. And he thinks that's okay to go on in problem. And people just will pretend like the emperor's new clothes, that it's not happening because he invented PayPal. Billionaires are not held to any standard, including are you about to have a medical issue?

Right. We, yeah, we are seeing, because this is the most powerful, like this is an unprecedented time other than the monarchies where like, you know, it was long slow burn history of inbreeding and isolation genetic and like Physic physical isolation that like created very strange Monarchs, but like other than that there's never been a time when people have like just through sheer luck

Become incredibly powerful and then that power just get makes them more and more powerful until like there who gets interviewed on like news shows even though they have like just defective personalities and are really strange people and I feel yeah, I feel like it's not said anymore because people are like, yeah, but that's Peter Thiel. We know his name. So like, we just like let it go. You know, I got to say Peter, just send an email and we'll read it. Totally. And it's in the email. It's just 48 million. It's it's it's it's it's God damn it. Does it the emails to shorten this? There's a lot of things. There's a lot of sorts of things one could say about it.

Yes, without getting into particulars. You haven't named one fucking thing. You're not in the weeds. Well, that's a hard-hitting question. He did mention that there may be some things wrong with the medical system. But, you know, I still think you should try to make an argument. Not me. You should try to make an argument. I will be over here doing not that.

Yeah, but good luck seeing a putty cat. Good luck with your argument. Good luck with your argument though, because I own the entire Congress. Uh, yeah, exactly. Here's the good part. There he goes. There he goes. So Jesus.

So, so Jack, when you said that monarchy thing, I just, I had, I wanted to talk so bad, but I'm like, you know, I've been talking to my therapist and they say I have to let other people talk. So, um, uh, that's not what you pay them for. Yeah. That's so funny. The therapist, have you ever known, you've got to work on letting me talk. Yeah, I haven't gotten a word in edgewise.

Anyway, all I thought was that Peter Thiel was a sentient Habsburg jaw. I like that. It was like interviewing. You've seen that picture, that Habsburg, that Habsburg who couldn't like, his jaw was so messed up from inbreeding that he couldn't, you know, he couldn't do anything basically. Same with two in common.

We're kind of the institutional equivalent of that. Yeah. Like it's just, we find these people and just through sheer, like the way that the system is built where like one advantage breeds multiple more advantages. Yeah. It's pretty similar. The strangest people. Yeah. Cause you weren't allowed to mention Habsburg's jaw.

You weren't allowed to say, my goodness, sir, your jaw is quite big. Because then you get executed. It's the same thing you can't say to Peter Thiel. Like, why do you agree to interviews if you aren't going to say anything and you're going to be having a medical emergency and then you get executed if you say that. So, can we bring up a Habsburg jaw, an image of the Habsburg jaw or JP Morgan's nose, either one, whatever you, whatever you find first.

Yeah. Hard to shake. Shake John Jacob Astor's liver. Yeah. It was basically my liver. Mack tonight, the,, the McDonald's moon character is based on the Habsburg Joff. But I guess we can just leave it at that.

You remember Macktonite, the moon? Based on Macktonite. Whoa, this thing's a pervert. This thing's crazy. Yeah. Look at Macktonite. That's not even the... You never knew Macktonite?

I didn't know him by name. Oh yeah, I forgot. We just established you're 19 years old, but I'm 19. Yeah. Right. Ooh, look at that jaw. There it is. The one on the right.

You see that one with the blonde hair? Like halfway. Yeah. That guy, that's the guy. That's Peter Thiel. That's the equivalent. Yeah, exactly. Like spiritually that's Peter Thiel and he's way better looking than Peter teal. Yeah

main yeah, yeah, let's Say yeah, take a break so I don't say what I was about Hurry go to break go to break Okay, hey Blake I was just gonna say he's got a face that face that you want to sit on because it looks like a chair. All right, we'll be right back. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much. It does look like a chair. It does look like a chair. It's definitely a seat. Or like an athletic protector. A little thing. Ooh, a cup. Cup.

Cup. I call it an athletic protector. I call it a cup. Son, go get your athletic protector on. Or go into Denny's, put on your athletic protector. We want to speak out, we want to raise awareness, and we want this to stop. Wow, very powerful. I'm Ellie Flynn, and I'm an investigative journalist.

When a group of models from the UK wanted my help, I went on a journey deep into the heart of the adult entertainment industry. I really wanted to be a playboy model. Lingerie, topless. I said yes please. Because at the center of this murky world is an alleged predator. You know who he is because of his pattern of behavior. He's just spinning the web for you to get trapped in it.

He's everywhere and has been everywhere. It's so much worse and so much more widespread than I had anticipated. Together, we're going to expose him and the rotten industry he works in. It's not just me. We're an army in comparison to him. Listen to The Bunny Trap on the iHeart Radio app,

New episodes every Thursday. And we're back. just checking in because we have like kind of averted our eyes from the right a little bit since the election, just because we're like, Oh, they're probably having a cool party over there and just, I don't, I don't want to see it. And we're not going to, there was the Trump advisor who passed out on stage, seemed to be having a serious medical issue. I don't think we want to like kind of point and laugh at that one.

But here it is. We're not going to point and laugh, but I do want to just look at this one anti LGBTQ plus, uh plus Senator from Tennessee, the state house guy, and he is just like one of the worst. Senator Ken Yeager, he has regularly used his power to make life harder for poor and LGBTQ people as a way to make up for a lifetime of, you know, just being, being him. I'm in Tennessee right now. Tennessee's 49th, 48th, 47th in infant mortality, mother mortality, reading comprehension.

Yeah. It's, these, these, these people in, in, in, in office in Tennessee have done nothing but to steal money and, and, and, and defund public programs to the, and it, you know, to the point where Tennessee is, I mean, is just a mess and this guy. Yeah. Yeah. So this is, this is just him, you know, on his, I don't, I don't know where they kind

of found him, but he did get pulled over under suspicion of a DUI. And I do really respect the police for going through with the field sobriety test. Once you see this guy that they're still like, well, better see if this guy's drunk or not. They're probably his friend. They're like rooting for him. Yeah. They're like, come on, man. Just, just, yeah. Come on. All you have to do is walk. Oh my God. Stop pissing. Yeah. All right. Let's, let's check out the video and then we'll describe it to people who aren't watching. So he stands there with his hands behind his back like this is going to be easy as hell

and begins to piss his pants. And they are khakis. So it's not subtle. You don't want to piss those. He's doing a good job on the line walking though. He's really clinging there. He's doing a great job. I think we froze. I think that's why he appears to be doing a good job. He also pointed at the line as if it moved as he was trying to walk across the line. He points at it like he moved the line.

And people listening and not watching, he is pissing this whole time he's walking and it's getting so big. It starts just in the place where your pants would be normally a normal pair pants would be pissed And then it starts where your entire left leg. Yeah gravity takes over it is great That was spreading up to his he's wearing a turtleneck and it's spreading up his neck He did Blake it's a really good point there There is a point at the end where he turns around and we don't get to hear what exactly

he's saying, but he does point to the line as though it has been moved on him or something. Like what the fuck was that? It hasn't because it's drawn on the ground. That line's wobbly as hell, dog. Jesus. Fucking lines. Anyways. That line is woke.

We don't need to wallow in the humiliation of this loser, but at the same time, it's, it's just, this is who we're dealing with. Well, this is what Nazis did to Nazis partied. That's all this is, is, is losers partying. This is the people, the world's most charmos people creating a space where they can just get drunk all the time. That's what fascism really is. And this guy is a perfect example. He's supposed to be a lawmaker. I mean, he's, he's like 70 years old and he's, he's like a 17 year old.

He's dressed like a 17 year old. He's partying instead of, I mean, he's pissing all over the place. And it's just like, it's just the banality of evil. But the banality of evil, evil is pissing your pants, you know? Yeah. Pissing your pants as you're doing the DUI test. Yeah. And being like, everybody pisses their pants. It's American. If you're not pissing your pants, then you're not an American. Your line is not regulation.

That is not a regulation line that you're making me walk. Okay. It's pathetic. Truly believe there's nothing wrong with enjoying the shit out of this. I really believe that you gotta honestly, if you're like, oh, I don't want to laugh at someone else's expense. We need to take the higher ground. You, we, we don't, this is something you need to enjoy because it's so great. Yes.

It's so, this is one of the few great things And it would rate if he was some guy who is not in power, then this would be sad But instead instead it's not sad because this guy don't think it you're not supposed to You're supposed to be self-aware enough to know that if you are an alcoholic You shouldn't run for office. And if you're an alcoholic, you shouldn't, it doesn't, you know, even if you're driving a car, you just shouldn't, yeah, there's just a certain amount of, none of the qualities of a leader include being drunk and pissing your pants when you're 70 wearing kids clothes.

He's dressed like he's supposed to be delivering the papers. He is wearing a propeller hat as well. We should point that out. He does. He's wearing a cat or a fleece jacket with a hoodie. He probably came back to you. He just was at an axe throwing bar. Yeah. Exactly. All right.

Finally, this morning I was introduced to Birdie Higgins. I had heard the song, what was it? What is it? Key Largo? We had it all. We had it all. Just like Bogey and Bacall. That one.

Yeah. Didn't know who sang that. It's like kind of rock vibes. Birdie Higgins. B-E-R-T-I-E Higgins. And Chris, you found this clip of him, like as that song is being recorded, like about to be released? Well, I mean, that's what they say in the clip,

but he's not, he's lip syncing. This is a PM magazine. If you're like my age, which is, you know, 42, then you, 55. If you're 55, you remember PM magazine. It was like, you know, when there were four channels, they had a nightly, it was like an entertainment news magazine, like, and they just- It would come out in the evening.

Yeah, and they did features on the, yes. And they did PM, yes. And they did features. Yes. Jesus. They did. There it goes. Yeah, and they did features on the yes, and they did PM yes, and they did features And they did features they did features on whatever the the top Top entertainment entertainers were and this was a big smash hit. This was like a number one hit or number So they went and sent a camera crew to Chattanooga that's where I recorded this right and anyway a, they used to call shows like 60 Minutes magazine, right? News magazines, right?

Yes. So that's what we refer- This is like a 60 Minutes. That's what we refer to them to. Yeah. I used to work for one. Prime Time Live with Diane Sawyer. Really?

How is she? Yeah. How is she? Yes. She was always very nice and drank an incredible number of Diet Cokes every day. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. I'm not mad at her.

Well, I was not. Little known fact, when Richard Nixon got into the helicopter after giving the two peace fingers after resigning, the person, one of the people in the helicopter, I think there were like two people, his wife and Diane Swair, who was his speech writer. I knew that, that's crazy. Anyways.

Okay, so Bertie Higgins, Bertie Higgins had a hit, big hit, soft rock hit called, Key Largo. Key Largo. And it's, hey, I was looking at you, kid. Anyway, but it turns out behind the scenes, this guy was a wreck and I actually know his whole biography because this is another thing. You know, I'll watch a video like this and then I'll do some heavy, this guy was a wreck. And I actually know his whole biography because this is another thing. I, you know, I'll watch a video like this and then I'll do some heavy, you know,

heavy lifting. Yeah, I intentionally did not. I had the urge to be like, all right, what, like how long did this guy make it? Because he recovered. He recovered. It turns out all of it got sober. Yeah. All of his antics.

It turns out he had a horrible drinking problem, which explains all this stuff that... I had a feeling, Chris. And this is such a long, yeah, this is such a long interview, and it gets way too in-depth. That's what's really funny about this, is it gets way too in-depth, and it also shows you the inside of a recording studio in 1981 in Chattanooga.

The hairstyles... Yeah, it's supposed to be a puff piece, and he is just letting some of the most pitch dark things drop. That's it. I mean, this song is, I like this song. It's a cheesy song. I do too.

Yeah. And he should have just been like, yeah, rocks. And we had a great time recording it. But instead, they just let the camera roll forever, and then they put it all on the air. I mean, this is stuff that would definitely be cut out yeah now let's go 40 seconds alive to tape pyramid studios look out mountain they even let the Roland guy being recorded for what has become one of the hottest records of the year the song

hey babe can we skip forward to 40 seconds Everyone who works in the studio is a sheepdog. It's the first record for singer and songwriter, Bertie Higgins. And what Bertie sings about is his own life. You guys got to look at this. This is like an all-timer for me, the whole thing. Just go watch this with your family for Christmas, instead of that electric yule log. And we're just going to together. I mean, the voice of an angel here we go I

Had gone through an emotional fall a Lady who I loved very much had left me after living with her for almost five years in Florida and We were both into old films at that time in Florida and we'd curl up on Friday and Saturday night the only time they had The 24-hour TV down there and watch him and Bogart McCall was a favorite okay it's not the best part but he has the beginning okay he's talking about his relationship and they play a little more the song are we gonna go should we skip forward to 435 or where no no he's about to say something real good. Okay, okay, got to go. Here he comes.

Oh wait, we missed it. He said, did you have it all? Yeah. I've been around the earth a while and I never thought I could feel that. And the fact that I felt that just absolutely I Mean I was married before that had a couple of children That's it I was married before It had a couple of children. I never married before I had a couple of children. I never felt that

Unbelievable. All right, that's okay. The next part is just the four-minute part is when he says It's just another way too in-depth thing. It's him and the girl he wrote the song about And she we don't have to yeah if we were trying we don't have to watch it But it's worth watching this whole video because it's the biggest overshare in history. They're trying to promote a song and they end up, that the studio guys basically say at some point in that video, like we didn't even need the song. We have a promotion machine here that can make any song a hit.

It doesn't even matter if it's good. Bernie Higgins is in the other part of the room being like, hi. Yeah. It's unbelievable. This guy's a fucking hack. It's like a Zapruder film. It's like, it's a Pruder film. It's a Pruder film for about rock.

Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Two kids, one named Julian, which is a human name and the other named diesel boy. And I'm like, oh, we there. Is that real? Get the fuck out of here. And I'm like, wait, did he name his son Diesel Boy?

And it's actually Diesel Boy is actually a diesel man. He's 52 and a DJ, of course. So that was the other way of that it could have gone. So right. Either in a blackout. He changed his name in the aftermath. He might have, or he was named Diesel Boy in a blackout by Bertie.

Maybe his German name is Diesel Man. Yeah, Diesel Man. Was that his real name? I hope. We don't know. It's impossible to know. I mean, he was. We'd have to pull the birth records. Yeah.

Which I don't have time to do. Speaking for myself. God, to just be like in an interview and be like, I had two kids. Like I've never felt something like a love like this is so wild. Oh no, there's Dieselboy. There's Dieselboy. He looks like this is so wild. Oh no, there's diesel boy. There's diesel boy. He looks like a pretty regular DJ.

Yeah. At the time, a completely abnormal human, but a regular DJ. Yeah. At the time of that interview, this young man was nine years old. Then he was like, yeah, I never felt anything like cool the love I felt for this lady Lady, yeah my old my wife and my kids never did it for me, but this lady did Yeah, Lord this lady whose name escapes me. Yeah She comes in at the end and they're like, why did you leave him? She's like, why'd I leave him?

many many reasons I think the four-minute markie talks about being in jail. He does. He does. He says, he says, I was in jail. He's like, I was in jail a couple, yeah. For two years or something. Or he said, for not that long.

I know guys like this, so I was not shocked. He said, I was in jail for not that long. Yeah. Because he realized, what the hell is happening? What the hell is happening to this piece? Weekends in jail? Yeah. You know, at some point you realize when you're on a podcast and you're over sharing that's what's happening to him He's like, you know, that's why he's like when I was in jail for not that long. What the hell is going on?

What are we doing here? The band slaughter was involuntary it wasn't that long So yeah, Bertie Higgins and then there's a great video for the song Key Largo. The video is great too, because he's supposed to be in a yacht and it's a small fishing boat. So he's like, he's supposed to be in a yacht, but I don't know if they couldn't rent. And the boat he's in, the boat he's in with the woman, you know, it's him and a girl like out on a date on a boat. And it's supposed to be like, Oh, what? I wish I had his life, you know, in Key Largo. And it's this fishing boat that's getting jostled a lot by the camera boats wake.

Taking on water. And then he's smoking the whole time. Yeah. And smoking in a little boat. I mean, if you're smoking in a huge yacht, I can see how that could be a power move, but smoking in a little boat makes you look like what he was and out of control alcoholic. Yeah. I can see how that could be a power move, but smoking in a little boat makes you look like what he was and alcoholic. Yeah, yeah.

You're probably smuggling living cargo. It's a great video. It's a great video. So the video for Q Largo, if you don't feel like spending 10 minutes and finding out the real misery behind that song and you want to just enjoy a really fucked up video, try the video for Q Largo. It's great. Oh my God. Well, Chris Crofton, always such a pleasure having you. I feel like I, I find new corners of the internet of history that I never would have otherwise.

Well, I'm so glad I'm here to serve. I'm just here to help people with my history. Where can people find you, follow you, listen to you, all that good stuff? Most important thing. Cold brew got me like the show. You can get it on Apple podcasts. You can get it. Most important thing, Cold Brew Got Me Like the show. You can get it on Apple podcasts. You can get it on any old podcast.

All the podcasts, all the evil empires carry Cold Brew Got Me Like. And it includes Cold Brew Conversations with Blake Wechsler. It concludes that also I did an interview with Jamie Loftus for Cold Brew Conversations. Uh, I did an interview with this amazing stand-up named Kristen to me who I love and Anyway, go check that out and the good morning podcast every Monday, Wednesday, Friday. It's like seven minutes long I talk about shampoo. I talk about specifically talking to you while you're in the shower saying hello It's a lot of fun and you can see me on you know

The old Instagram at Crofton at the Crofton show at the Crofton show on blue sky, every other damn thing. X and all of shit. Yes. Kentucky. Bs Kentucky data. Yeah. All the new ones.

I'm on all the threads. Fuck. Is there work immediate that you've been enjoying? Oh yes. Uh, this is something I always forget I always forget to do this part. So I don't really know. I'm going to say that the work of media I enjoyed was live that I saw in person recently, which is the Worcester group, a theater group from New York City that's been going since the 70s.

Willem Dafoe was part of it. Spawn and Gray was part of it. They came to Nashville and I saw their show, um, Symphony of Rats and seeing live theater that's just super weird is a really nice break from endless quote unquote reality. And so the Worcester group, if the Worcester group comes to town, if you're in LA, they probably come and I bet they come to Philly too, because that's just down the road from New York where they're based. But also that they only have a, the reason they've survived so long is that, that the

director of the company, Elizabeth Lecompte bought the building that they perform in. And she said, like, if I hadn't bought this building in Soho, we would never be able to do any of this. Yeah, those groups are like so interesting, like the little theater groups that started and like three of them are the most famous actors of all time. You know, they're amazing, you know? Yeah. Little avant-garde theater troops. I, yeah. Theater was fun for me a lot. A lot. I did Blake. Did you do theater at, at Emerson? I actually didn't. I just did stand up. Well, that's cool as hell. That's cool as hell. Thank you. Um, you. I just did some theater in New York in the 90s and man,

just that teamwork aspect is just really fun. So I think theater is really good for people to watch and be part of. Amazing. Blake, where can people find you? Is there work media you've been enjoying? People can find me at Blake Lexer on all social media. Chris, you're so funny. You listen to all of Chris's podcasts. I forget that I have any duty to entertain whatsoever when I'm on here.

March 15th, I'm headlining the ice house in Pasadena and Los Angeles, March 15th. And then April 4th through 5th, I'm in Minneapolis.

I like you can find that at Corgi odor or if you search hashtag corgi hashtag corgi lover hashtag pet I'm sure it'll come up at some point you'll be glad you did yeah Jack do you have anything you want to talk about I liked a tweet from the Oscar race, uh, at the Oscar race.

What's a movie that's basically a masterpiece that no one talks about? Question mark. That's my piece of media. I like tweets like that. What's a great, what's a great last shot of a movie? They Twitter thinks that I Twitter thinks I fucking love that shit. That's what they do on threads too. They're like, uh, what's the kind of music that you guys like?

And like just to provoke, just to provoke the thread, you know, and it's like a bunch of engagement. Yeah. And they're like the Dave Matthews band. You know what I mean? Like, are like Scott. Yeah. Exactly.

Yeah. Yeah. Like, oh, thank goodness for this type of music that you think is underrated. And then everybody's like, what? That's not underrated. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Like, oh, thank goodness for this. What's the type of music that you think is underrated? And then everybody's like, what? That's not underrated. Jesus. What road signs really make you mad? Yeah.

Go. Uh, yeah. Don't tell me what to do. That's the response to all of you. That's why I don't stop. Don't fucking tell me what to do. I don't yield. I don't stop.

Okay. No, no, no. I'm on my grind set. I don't get it. That's what they do on threads. Threads is a lot of that. Like, best base player for my money, what's his name, from Dire Straits.

But I might be wrong, but I might be wrong. Go ahead, internet, or whatever. It's like, I think it makes me miss do your thing, internet. Makes me miss X where people are just like, I'll chop your head off. You know, that's the answer. I like Dire Straits. I'll chop your fucking head off you libtard
