Well, I read it, Jack, and I gave you my notes and I stand by them.

I don't think it's going to be huge. Well, I don't think Ace Ventura should suddenly be black. That doesn't make sense, especially if you don't explain it. But you're like, but I don't know, man. My sub tickets. It doesn't matter. It's National Cinnamon Crescent Day. I think that's just a croissant.

It comes out of a zebra's butt. Because it calls back to the earlier mythos. Exactly. That's right. It calls back. It's an homage to Ace Ventura 2. I like when a sequel does an homage to the previous film. You love that.

You love that. Yeah. And it's also just as problematic as the first one with the transphobia, too. I'm sure it's also National Farm Animals Day National. Dude, it's like it's all y'all with siblings.

You can hear his words on the audio fiction series The Passage. Please welcome the brilliant and talented Ben

Bolin! We got Ben Bolin. Oh, I forgot this is an audio podcast. He's guesting. Yeah, wow. You're really good at this. You're kind of doing a little Trump rally shoulder shimmy. I was. Oh, shit.

I was. They got to me. Macho, macho man. All right. Jerk's off two guys standing at his shoulder. He's seated. So I like to picture that he's seated, and then the guys are standing next to him facing each other, and he's just doing a little jerk off side to side.

For like America or something. For America. Thank you, Ben. How you been, Ben, since we saw each other and then you had to cover for me when I was at fucking a cruise podcast movement. Miles got so drunk on that panel, man. I got ripped, man. I'm not going to lie. I was way more nervous than I should have been to talk about a subject I know pretty a lot about podcasting. But you know what? Sometimes it gets you. It gets you. with the dry ice smoke. I don't know how you worked out the parachute,

but Miles dropped in from a parachute and was just like, first off, what are we talking about? I remember I landed in a split. Just came off the top rope, parachute, boom, hit the split, and I was like, give me my mic. Yeah, and hovered across the stage in the split like a Spike Lee tracking shot with the smoke.

It was an elaborate special. And Miles does demand that for any panel that he's going to be on. Yeah, which is why I know, Ben, when you said that they weren't going to actually accommodate me, I know I freaked out and I said, well, fuck all of you then. But then I did make it work in my own lo-fi way. So, look, all's well that ends well. All's well that ends well. It involved roller skates.

I mean, we can say it was roller skates is how you pulled it off. Okay, look, what the fuck, man? This isn't fucking revealing the magician's secret on Fox, dude. What the fuck is this, man? Do you remember that show? We can neither confirm nor deny. Yeah, exactly. The masked magician. Yeah. this man yeah we can either confirm we can either confirm or deny yeah exactly and don't look to magician yeah don't look at the video that someone took because it's very clear i'm on rollerblades

but i remember that uh i i remember that show you just mentioned though yeah the mass whatever yeah what was it the secrets magic secrets on reveal or whatever. Yeah. And I remember that guy, like, what was his name? Like mystique or intrigue. Oh, yeah. He got like fucking blight mystery. Oh no, sorry. That's the guy who taught me how to talk to women.

Breaking the magician's code. Magic's biggest secrets reveal finally revealed is what it was called. I'm not trying to watch a replay on Fox, but yeah, that mask was kind of freaky. Yeah, that was like, why he didn that mask was kind of freaky. Yeah. That was like why he didn't need to make it so scary, you know,

but I guess maybe he did. Maybe that's like what he's about. Yeah. I don't know. Yeah. His name was Val Valentino or is still, it's, he's still here.

He's still here. Oh, he revealed he was outed. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Magic castle's coming for him. You guys. I know.

Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. In the finale, in the final special, he unmasked. It is I, Val Valentino. Who? Who the fuck? Yeah, that's right. Oh, I know. Try and

hold back your shock. It is I. Okay, I'm sorry. My legal name, Leonard Montano. No, still don't know you, man. Alright. Well, I've embarrassed myself. Worth a shot. Anyways, Ben, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about.

We're going to check in with third-party candidates, specifically the No Labels Party, the fuckboy party of the center. Why don't we have to put a label on it? Let's just enjoy each other's company and bodies. Right. A political situation.

Yeah, exactly. We're talking. Yeah, so I think they're dropping out. We're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about the coming horny zombie cicada storm that is going to take over entire swaths of the U.S. Yeah. We'll talk about Disney just can't stop building dystopias. They got a new one.

Swimming events in not a pool, but in the Seine River, the big dirty river that runs through the middle of Paris that I think was responsible for multiple outbreaks of cholera that like wiped out entire family lines. That that is where they're going to be doing their distance swimming. Right. In the coming Olympics, which is interesting. The brave of the organizers uh i'm guessing it was their decision and not the distance swimmers no no i want a mouthful of e coli i want to show you how fucking built i am for this shit when i first saw this story i literally thought like it was going to be all the swimming events like michael like people like that were just gonna be swimming by a 200 meter freestyle fighting a river yeah i was like wow that's that's different they're really watching though we would all watch that we would exactly all right but before we get to any of that bullshit

ben we do like to ask our guests what is something from your search history oh man so i was scanning through some of this stuff uh and i was i was looking at uh i got really into not what they call non-human personhood like are are certain non-human animals intelligent to the threshold that they should be able to have the same rights that theoretically every human has. And I got super deep into octopus, like the octopuses, I think is the correct plural. Is that right? It's not octopi? It's not octopi? I think, well, it's American English, so we can just kind of freestyle on that one.

But I'm pretty sure the plural is octopuses. Yeah. Oh, no, no, it says, yeah yeah both octopuses and octopi are acceptable of the two octopuses is the simpler and more commonly used wow all right well okay turns out the octopus can dream you guys and because they have the um they have those things on their skin uh chromatophores that change color. The color things. Yeah. Predator camo thing. When they dream, those chromatophores in their skin show what they're dreaming about in a weird way. Yes, dude.

Yes. Yes. Wait, Ted. Like a jumbotron on their skin to be like, this is what's going on in my mind right now. Nowhere near that cool. Okay. Well, then I take back my no way. Fuck it.

It sounds boring, dude. I don't give a fuck. Yeah. Fuck you, octopus. All right, man. What do you think is underrated, man? Let's just get off this shit. I'm moving on.

I'm moving on. No, I think it is fascinating, man. It would be cool if it were jumbotron, right? If the octopus was dreaming and there's like a kiss cam that shows right right right the octopus is at a blackhawks game and it's like i don't know i invited her but we'll see it wakes up and it's like shit i'm in the ocean right yeah i thought that's i thought that was cool also looked into, there was some weird research several years ago, a couple of decades ago, about trying to make the octopus live longer because they have a

relatively short lifespan. And it turns out that you could do an octopus lobotomy, which already, the concept is really weird to me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Check it out. So apparently you can, and it only works with the female octopus. You can remove part of the, I guess the main brain, since all eight arms kind of have a brain, you can remove that and it takes away the kill switch

such that the octopus can survive, reproduce. Anyway, man, my search history is weird wow yeah hey man what the fuck are you talking about real quick you remove their brain and they live longer because the brain is the thing that kills them it's like all right time to off yourself yeah you take out five years yeah exactly right well some imagination this kid has here because that can't be true. No. That's wild, man. What the fuck?

Some imagination. You ever seen cuttlefish mate where they like entwine their arms and then like get their like bodily patterns sync up? Yeah. You got to also stop texting me those videos, man. Yeah. Half of those aren't yeah is the is the subject that i said anyways but like you should you know anyways but more like cuddle fish and then we're like yeah i know yep we're doing it again i'm still working i'm still working on a workshop in the exact

wording that i should send when i send those videos to people isn't it beautiful i'm just gonna be honest i think it would be amazing if the octopus was able to live you know to like a like a human lifespan or an elephant lifespan or something like that right because they're they're so smart man yeah i know that's that's been like the most interesting thing about realizing how intelligent they are is like how i think for people like who are used to eating octopuses like in asia or abroad or wherever like octopus is like a delicacy like the more i see those like things where it's like no man like they build friendships like i saw this video of like how this octopus was like befriending the like tank cleaner at an aquarium and like octopus was befriending the tank cleaner

at an aquarium and always wanted to play with the tank cleaner in a very intentional way. And I'm like, oh my god. And I'm about to eat one of your fucking arms, man. I gotta stop eating these fuckers. I gotta stop eating your fucking arms. I'm so sorry. I'm so

sorry. I hate to say it. No, you felt so much. I'm like, you fuck with drum and bass. Because if they fuck with drum and bass, then it'd be over. I'm so sorry. I said, no, you, you knew you felt so much. I'm like, do you fuck with drum and bass? Cause if they fuck with drum and bass, then it'd be over. I'm like, yo,

man, we can't, they fuck with, you know, chasing status. Yeah. They, they have taste to a music.

We've got to let them, let them also be excellent DJs. What metaphorically? Oh yeah. Did this interest come from my octopus teacher? Uh, I, I really,

you've always been interested. I'm, uh, I, I watched octopus teacher octopus teacher that is that's pretty great man honestly uh i think it i think it came about because i'm one of those folks with uh big dreams and stupid means so i was like i was like man it'd be so cool to have an aquarium in my house. You know what I mean? Yeah. Until I learned how much work it is. Yeah. You got cribs.

To have an octopus aquarium. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not ready for that yet. I'm going to get there one day. I feel you never see really rich people with octopus aquariums. They always have like sharks or something like that.

Yeah. They need things that like mirror their mindset. Like their apex right here. There we are. You know what I mindset like they don't want some soft ass thinking ass eight arms alien ass motherfucker yeah making them question their personhood yeah uh what is something you think is underrated ben uh to be honest you know there's one thing i got really into audiobook books when I was driving around for some stuff. And I was like, man, you know, here you guys tell me is hearing an audio book the same thing as reading a book. I respect them both. Yeah.

Yeah. I don't care. I'm not like I remember when audio like maybe right after college and I was really into like like book by you know just having like my book collection that i was really like there's no evidence of it like i felt like even like with kindle like i'm like was there any evidence of the book that you had it at one point then you don't know the information that you absorb like what kind of rigid ass thinking is this and now i'm like no you're engaging with the information plus i my comprehension is actually better when i'm listening to an audiobook yeah that's sometimes i space out and i'll i'm like no no joke like i

can spend like fucking six minutes on one page because i'm like fuck i just thought of something in the middle of the same fucking sentence again they hit me with a semicolon what the fuck is going on mom mom yeah no i was I mean, as long as you're... Like, if you're making your way through an audiobook, like, you're not doing it absently for no reason. Like, you're obviously engaging with the material. It's like connecting with you. You're taking something in.

So I don't... Yeah, I've definitely, like, talked to people who are like, yeah, I only get, like, 20% of audiobooks. And those people don't read audio books. They just move back to the thing that works for them. For some of us, I definitely have better comprehension when I'm listening to audio books, I think. Yeah, I like that point. It's whatever works for you to, as you said, ingest information.

I will note, though, I will note that i put down the kindle i i i i was a physical book guy uh still am i got too many i'm some cost gesture you're literally gestured to a blank room right now you're like yeah i'm a book guy there's no fuck there's nothing behind you like okay man as you can see i'm a big book guy yeah but i had i had a kindle as a gift for a while and i i felt this such a shallow thing you guys but i was like reading on a kindle and there were other people around who had books. And I was like, man. Oh, you felt small? Yeah, I was like, these folks better know I'm reading a book. Yeah, that's why you got to read out loud

anytime you're reading in public. That's what I did. Yeah, let them know. Her lust was too much to contain at this point. Her body was quivering in the heat. The little fish slowly inserted his sperm packets into her mouth. And then just like turn to a stranger and go, page 43. That's right.

As if I had to tell you, you freaky little. And then obnoxiously lick your fingers to turn the page. Yeah, on your Kindle. Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak. By the way, we should like that there was a weird moment at the top of your underrated where you're like driving around on some stuff but ben is a trained assassin like he doesn't like to talk about it but he's yeah you know he he goes out on jobs uh so to speak and you know okay got a lot of driving to do all right should i should i read some back of should i read some of our cryptic

text back ben i would prefer that we avoid that. Okay. I'm just saying this is a real thing where I'm like, I'm trying to get to the bottom of Ben Bolin and I fucking can't. Okay. All right. Well, let's say it here publicly. Guys, Uber does a lot of stuff.

And we are contractually obligated to tell you that you get on the road sometimes. Yeah, we've got another service if you want someone fucking clipped. That's right. Uber erase. Yeah. Get people out of there. Uber you've been erased. Crows aren't the only murder that Ben Bolin is very familiar with.

I'll just say that. What is something, Ben, that you think is overrated? Okay. You know, I historically have a tough time with overrated because I don't want to be rude to anybody, but I'm going to say it. So many dietary supplements are absolute bullshit. It is insane. It is insane that we did an episode on this for stuff that once you know, recently, I can't remember when it comes out, but spoilers, folks, the FDA in particular is asleep at the wheel, man. Totally. No.

You're getting caffeine and sawdust. That is what you're getting, whatever it says on the back. What was that one story we were talking about where it's like, it may include up to this certain, like, it was just so all over the place, like for regulations. It could literally be anything that we're taking, vitamin-wise. Yeah. Wasn't it chewable vitamins or something like that? Oh, yeah, yeah. Gummy vitamins. Gummy vitamins are

like, they're gummy candy. First of all, delicious. Second of all, they're gummy bears sprayed with vitamins. Oh, right. It's also true for edibles. Some edibles don't have second of all they're gummy bears sprayed with like vitamins oh right and it can be but it's also true for edibles like some edibles don't have that specific of dosing and so you have to be really careful but the same goes for vitamins they basically take some gummy candy and spray it

with vitamin whatever the vitamins say they are and like sometimes it gets a lot on there and sometimes not so much and there's a good one yeah you can tell oh shit dude this one's oh man it's got like three of them on what it's like when you get that one dorito that has all the dorito dust on you like yeah yeah it's a good one yeah i think that's a great way to think about it doritos you know doritos are mostly like uniform but sometimes you get the one that's a great way to think about it. Doritos. You know, Doritos are mostly like uniform, but sometimes you get the one that's just opaque with dust. Dusty and crusty. And sometimes they're pretty light.

Yeah. You get a little nakey, nakey nacho cheese Dorito. Did you hear, guys? I haven't confirmed this, but I heard, I swear, I read somewhere from the Dorito folks that they don't need the dust for the flavoring and that it's like a psychological thing. Like it's just part of the Dorito experience to have the powder. I've licked the powder off my fingers and my fingers taste like Doritos.

And sometimes they taste too much like Doritos and I bite my fingers. It feels like a corn chip, a blank corn chip. It's not like the flavor is like enmeshed within the corn chip, right? I feel like that's like harder to manufacture than, than printing off a bunch of blank corn chips. And then depending on your flavor, dust them accordingly. Oh, looks like, uh, yeah, it looks like I, I appreciate the check. I'm wrong.

It turns out it was a hoax. I fell wrong it turns out it was a hoax I fell for it wafflesatmoon.com it turns out that and that is where you get most of your information from wafflesatmoon.com yeah number one source

no we gotta take down the Doritos man we gotta take it down yeah hang on let me send some tests the it sounds like Doritos that man. We got to take it down. Yeah. Hang on. Let me send some dust. The, it sounds like that, like a contract dispute between Doritos and whoever their dust supplier is. And they were like,

we don't need them. We actually don't need them. People like the core corn chip just as much as the different flavors. Yeah. Yeah. Depending on the severity of your brain injury, it could taste like anything. I just like how both Jack and I were so fucking

passionate that that wasn't true immediately. Without even checking, I was like, no, fuck you, Ben. The dust is fucking useful. The dust is gold. You were like, how would you manufacture that shit? I love watching how does shit get made type videos.

And I love seeing whether it's lunch meat or other shit. I'm like, oh, God. Is lunch meat bad? I've always suspected lunch meat is like a slurry that gets solidified. A lot of it is very processed. That's what they say. Eating a lot of processed lunch meat can be very detrimental to your health. But what if we could just spray vitamins on processed lunch meat can be very detrimental to your health. But what if

we could just spray vitamins on the lunch meat? Thank you. Then we'd be in business. Actually, we'd all end up in the little puddle at the bottom of the lunch meat. Oh, yeah. The last shot that you do. I love how wet my lunch meat is. I like

to eat things that are like me. Sweaty. Alright, it's a weird tagline, man, but let's see how it goes. I love how wet my lunch meat is. I like to eat things that are like me, you know? Sweaty. Sweaty. All right. It's a weird tagline, man, but let's see how it goes. I like to eat things that are like me. White and sweaty. Pale and sweaty.

Pale and sweaty like sliced turkey. Dietary supplements are bullshit. Yes. There you go. Oh, right, right. Yeah, that. Right, right. All right.

Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything

What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything. You're allowed to be doing this.

Yeah, exactly. But the no labels party, which I don't even remember, like, what they're just like hyper centrist. Is that? Yeah.

It was like Joe Lieberman's like pet project. And that's when you're like, oh, right. Right. This is your anger at the Democratic party being right of right of mainstream democrats is yeah but i guess to the left of the you know i mean like they're truly trying to be like again it was mostly going to serve as a spoiler candidate for democrats rather than like siphoning off republican votes that's why when it first came out everyone's like what what is going? What is this? But they just announced they're ending their campaign to meddle in the election. Yeah, yeah. And was it because the establishment destroyed them?

Or was it because no one gave a fuck about them and no one wanted anything to do with them? It was the latter. Yeah. I feel like the establishment would fuck with them heavy, right? Like, that's if you like told most people on wall street

this is what they're looking for the DNC being like they knew we were a threat so they did everything they could it's just more like no you guys didn't have your shit together how old is new labels it's like they probably announced about last year around the time

maybe a year and a half ago and everyone was like what the fuck is the purpose of this because they're like no one wants no one wants biden no one wants trump so let's do something let's really hit the middle here and see if we can get something uh going and their uh their national director said quote no labels was looking for a hero and a hero never emerged we've they, we've been very straightforward and upfront and honest with the American public that we were going to field this ticket if two conditions were met. Number one, if Americans wanted another option, which that box is definitely checked. Number two, if we're able to find candidates that we believe have a pathway to victory.

And that's where we ran into the trouble. that we believe have a pathway to victory. And that's where we ran into the trouble. At the end of the day, we weren't able to find candidates we felt had a straightforward path to victory. What? No way. It wasn't that, because I feel like if that first box was, and I want to quote him directly, which has definitely come up, box is checked.

If that were true, I do feel like maybe you would have had a little bit more success finding a candidate who wanted to throw their hat in the ring with you. If people were clambering for a Jeb Bushian, right-wing establishment candidate, I feel like a lot of people would have been like, hell yeah, man. I could become friends with so many billionaires by being the face of this party and instead it was such a non-starter there is so little political will at like behind this idea that they were just like fuck like yeah Like, yeah, it's just,

it's the thing that the Republican party want, like the powers that be in the Republican party want the Republican party to be the powers that be in the democratic party want the democratic party to be. It's just, there's absolutely no political will for it right now. No. And also when you look, we got to go over some of the people that they were courting to try and find their fucking hero.

I mean, we need a hero. And who did you go after? Nikki Haley. She's like, nah. Of course. Larry Hogan, the former Maryland governor who's now running for U.S. Senate. Nah. Chris Christie.

No. And guess who? We were just talking about him. Our boy, Dwayne The Rock Johnson. That's how far they went to be like, I don't know, fuck it, man. The Rock? No? Fuck.

I picture some old Monty Byrne-style guy steepling his fingers and going, you know, Ronald Reagan worked out well. What about that wrestler? Right. The Rock that wrestler? Right. The rock. Yes. Excellent. Have you seen him in his glasses? Right.

Very presidential. Or he looks like Henry Rollins in that one, that one music video where he dressed like Clark Kent. You remember that? Yeah. Like that was kind of the vibe. It's like, I don't know, dude, I kind of don't, I'm kind of scared of this dude in the ripped, ripped dude in glasses.

It doesn't look very welcoming, but yeah, but yeah they they they really just things fell apart and then i didn't even realize joe lieberman passed away last week uh but he did and that's when uh things just fell apart but the national director of no labels did say he's like well well uh yeah there's no question now i'm supporting biden uh but that's that's where they ended up. But RFK, still in the mix. RFK, still in there. Still a choice for those of us who get it, okay? We know that they're lying to us, right, Ben? Exactly.

Ben, you get it, right, man? Stop pointing at me. You guys, remember that episode that you played for me? I know that you said iHeart was too scared to air about how they were putting brain chips with the 5G and that's how Bill Gates was going to access our money, right? A hundred percent. Yeah. Yeah. Or how earlier you were saying that the thing that's actually in supplements is fluoride because they're trying to control our minds and then we had to have super producer Justin cut it out. Yeah. Thank you, Justin. Thank you for that.

Yeah. Yeah. Just for us to bring it up on air again. Yeah, fluoride and adrenochrome. Yes, thank you. Wow, they're just giving the adrenochrome away now, huh? I thought Hillary was squirreling that all away for herself. Wait, it took me so long, though, you guys, to realize that this RFK character is seriously trying to be a politician? Yeah, yeah, yeah. he's the real deal it takes a while to get it but yeah he's he's my man article yeah uh but yeah his his like

new york one of his campaign directors in new york is basically saying now like publicly that their whole outward strategy has been like we don't want want Biden, man. We don't want Biden. So we got like talking to Republicans, like we got to figure out what we're going to do. So it's not going to be Biden. So it, I mean, based on those comments, people are being like, so maybe, and cause this national director was like, Hey, if nobody gets to 270 electoral votes, guess who decides the house of representatives where i'm sure they would lovingly uh choose uh mr trump so wow that's crazy yeah i don't think uh anybody thinks rfk is going to win a single electoral vote but he he could fuck things up obviously the yeah anything that's the idea right that's like the strategy yeah unless like rfk is like in debt he's like hey man y'all could pay me Yeah, anything. to mount an actual campaign. I mean, but that's the thing, right? Like the third party,

we said the phrase non-starter before, but isn't it like by design? Like what happened to the Green Party? You know, every so often there's like a billionaire who says, oh, I'm independent. Like, whoa, Steve Forbes went on Saturday Night Live

and tried to be cool. That has such a great track record of Republican politicians coming on. Yeah. Yeah. Marjorie Taylor Greene episode. Let's let's see it. Yeah. Right.

Let's go. It'll be fun. She just. Could you imagine? People want. They're like, dude, she's got comedy chops, man. Unbelievable. Her deadpan.

Like, I don't agree with her on everything, but but you gotta give it to her on the timing yeah yeah yeah that's right you do you do her her doing pull-ups was just a bit it was she was just trying she was doing that for the larps all right let's talk about cicadas cicadas the they're coming as the right wing was warning us so we had the eclipse we had earthquake earthquake sure sign that jesus jesus christ coming back from the grave but they also pointed out the infestation of locusts loci where are we at on that locusts i think the bible says locusts so we'll go with biblical uh usage but again as as i pointed out a lot of people are like, I mean, if we're getting really into the biology here, locusts are grasshoppers, cicadas are crickets. So not quite a Bible.

Anyway, all that to say is, again, the thing that Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend was referencing is this upcoming cicada geddon that is about to pop off in the southeast and in illinois and so i didn't this is when you look at the story it's actually a lot more i'd rather this than whatever version of the apocalypse that you know the right wingers are pushing right now but two cicada broods are going to emerge at the same time brood 19 which emerges every 13 years and will take over georgia and the southeast and then brood, which emerges every 13 years and will take over Georgia and the Southeast, and then brood 13, which emerges every 17 years, which is going to take over Illinois. Apparently, the last time these two broods emerged at the same time was the year of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. So 221 years it's been since these two groups have emerged at the same time.

But even to add to that, what's really interesting is, I mean, obviously the dual emergence is pretty interesting, and it may signal the gates of hell to swallow the nation. I do feel like we, just real quick, I do feel like we've had this before on the show in our seven-year history

where there has been hype about multiple broods coming out. Brood X, I think, was the one we were talking about. Yeah, Brood X was the one. And then it was like, this is unprecedented. This one hasn't come out at the same time as that one. But it's just like, yeah, I mean, those timings are going to line up.

We don't know specifically if it's going to be particularly bad. I think I will be 102 years old when apparently the most fucked up dual emergence is going to happen that's going to be in like 2086 or something yeah it's something fucking wacky like that uh but anyway what but see i know you're like all right whatever they fucking come out of their their 13 and 17 year cycles well this one's whatever they fucking come out of their 13 17 17 years later. Yeah. Well, guess what? Guess what? He knew it.

Ben, he fucking got you. He knew you had to say that. Well, guess this group of little fuckers are about to pop out of the walls and have fungal zombie STDs. And you're like, what? Apparently, this pathogen is known as Massospora cicadina. And if infected, there's like a lot of these locusts are sick. Oh, gosh, they got me. These cicadas will have this infection.

A white plug will rip open a cicada's stomach, causing its genitals to fall off. However, then the fungus also produces an amphetamine, which basically turns the cicada into a fuck machine. Like crystal meth. Yeah. cicada into a fuck machine. Like crystal meth. Yeah. Yeah.

So these, these fuckers are going to be flying around horny as fuck trying to bone without any boning equipment while a third of their bodies are basically fungus. And this one cicada expert said they're going to be very sexualized. So males, for example, they'll continue to try and mate with females unsuccessfully because again, their backend is a fungus,

but they'll also pretend to be females to get males to come to them and that doubles the number of cicadas that an infected individual comes in contact with because it is spread similar to like a human sexually transmitted infection because of like the rubbing of the nether regions gets the fungus flying around all right so you're gonna tell me that you're not familiar with this hustle where the person has their shit fall off because they're so infested with fungus. And then they have to pretend to be whatever you're interested in and then just hump you until the fungus is all over you. Grow up. Okay. We've all been there.

We know the game. Jeez. This is scary scary I live in Georgia yeah the southeast and you're gonna see a bunch of these like white fungus budded locusts or fuck dude cicadas having a fuck party on a sidewalk near you the thing that's a little

freaky is that these experts are saying like they aren't totally sure what will happen if like other animals ingest these like dead bugs what and with the amphetamine penises yeah with the amphetamine and everything because it affects like all all all cicadas yeah they're like we don't think it's gonna cause like issues based on prior observations but we just we don't we can't totally say for sure what is going to happen but we just, we don't, we can't totally say for sure what is going to happen, but we don't think it's likely that anything terrible would happen.

Oh, great. So there's a non-zero chance. There's a non-zero chance the entire ecosystem's on meth for this summer. And a zombie. Yeah, just everything's fucking in the streets. Deer fucking in the streets. I didn't, I mean mean it would be cool if we

got a fuck till you drop zombie apocalypse i never that's really yeah picture version of it it's the zombie apocalypse we haven't really seen where it's you know the zombie plague is spread by zombies just like humping with a white powdery mushroom crotch that gets into your bloodstream through sheer strenuous humping. That would be a funny idea for a zombie movie.

It's probably going to ruin the scary tone, but it's just a fuck pile of zombies. Or just like humping a bus stop just like because they're so fucked up they're like you're like what the fuck are they even trying to kill you like nah man they're just humping and horny what's the trope where you know somebody gets bitten by a zombie or the undead and they lie about it for a while yeah yeah

yeah what are they like where are they like we got to check everybody's butt see if it's bend over your genitals better not be no white fungal plug yeah like uh i gotta i gotta check something really quick but everybody also has the experience of being so horny that they're basically a zombie and then like coming back to earth after it and being like, oh, Jesus Christ, what the fuck was that? Yeah, that's the one form of brain control that almost everybody has experienced. Not everything. Let's get arthouse with it. Okay.

Let's call it the clarity. Right? Yes. Okay. I like it. That's all I got. That's it. All right.

I was hoping you guys would build on that. Yeah. The clarity. All right. Yeah. Brought to you by Claritin. There it is. Gotta brand it, man.

Gotta brand it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gotta brand it. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life.

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, radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back we're back and yeah disney just can't quit building dystopias we've talked about their less than stellar record for creating dystopian planned communities before they just i think shut down or like sold off the one in florida it was like liberty or something it was like a little planned community subdivision thing but they're still like the fire department didn't work and stuff yeah yeah when we talked about that board where they're like oh yeah we're not

really good at like actually running a municipality well not that they got the desantis folks in there it's probably fine yeah but last year it was announced that they weren't like giving up on the dream that was just oh you know plan a and they're they're moving on to plan b with what they're calling their first story living community, which is called Cotino. And it's in Rancho Mirage, California. And Story Living by Disney are neighborhoods designed to offer super fans the opportunity to live amongst each other and incorporate the 99-year-old brand into their lives even more consistently. Oh, that's bone chilling.

Yeah, that's also uh pass yeah like yeah going having the magic of a theme park one thing when you're like i need i need my like walk to the driveway to also feel whimsical and detached from reality that gets a little that's where it's a thing where it's like is it it going to actually be as good as like a Disney? You think a Disney thing would be or is it just going to be like a hook? And then they just let the thing kind of fall apart. And right. It's like, yeah, well, a couple of the details. So they say that this is where the story is all about you.

The promotional video includes footage of what this could look like. And everyone is like at these art classes together and everyone just painted the same image of mickey and minnie mouse like it's just they're all like yay this was so fun it kind of it has like the hazy white light of a like viagra commercial you know or like one of those pharmaceutical commercials and they're all in an art class where they've all painted the exact same picture of mickey and minnie mouse which is just like a weird like it makes the people seem like automatons where they're just like yay look at my picture it's the same as your picture we are all together and in love with mickey mouse right it's like we only know how to

draw the one thing right oh goodness i mean that hoa is gonna be fucking insane right oh i mean the hoa is disney so yeah it's gonna be you can't have shit in your driveway you can't have shit in your car so they're gonna yelling at people like truly it seems like it's going to be the the town from edward scissorhands or you know whatever that more recent harry styles movie was uh don't worry darling like oh yeah everybody has to fit in um a forthcoming town center featuring a street market where local artists will sell arts and crafts, so long as they're Disney-themed. And they also say it will be, quote, abundant with opportunities for laughter. Like, everything about it feels so weird and like it's being designed by an experimental artist

to mock the idea of what this is. It's also like they mention on multiple occasions like family events, which makes me realize that there are going to be people raising children here. Like what a Truman Show-esque mind fuck like that that you you just the only thing you've ever known is growing up in a community where like reality and fiction are blurred together and where there's like these elements of your day-to-day life that are like a

constructed blend of branding and genuine, like humans. And then like performance, like what, what that feels like, it just feels like a, like a George Saunders story. Like it feels like civil,

civil war land and bad decline, or like, you know, one of those just weird dystopian things that they're not even trying to hide. Like how strange it is yeah the video i watched the video on like the official website that was like courting people and it's free i mean they mentioned schools in it i'm not sure if they mean like the nearby schools are good but like i'm not sure they

are going to be building schools like on this development which is also like what's a disney education look like but like the other thing too is it also has this weird thing where like the first group of houses are going to be open to like a 55 and up like sort of senior community and they like they're like those are the first people that are gonna get a stab at like owning in this place and like the way they even pitch it to them is like and your grandkids will definitely want to visit you if you live fucking here kind of shit even if you're a fascist yeah right exactly no one can say no to the racist wait well uh and but hey look we're gonna have a big lagoon too it'll all be fun grandpa makes me uncomfortable

but goofy's also in the mix yes right exactly there is a uh 24 acre lagoon, as Miles just mentioned, despite the fact their community is in the middle of a goddamn desert, which is suffering from a let me check this unprecedented drought. an unnatural shade of avatar blue all year round courtesy of patented crystal lagoons technology oh god which is wild and like just the number of like dead birds and animals they'll be fishing out of that thing every morning like just goofies out there fishing the dead flock of desert birds out of out of the blue, the Avatar Lagoon again. Yeah. It's also just wild. It just freaks me out when everyone says, like, the water is like this because of lagoon technology. I'm like, what?

Can't it just be fucking water? Like, what the fuck are we doing? What are you doing? What does this even mean? It's all very freaky. It's all very, very freaky. And I can't wait to see what it does to the housing prices too in the area oh yeah yeah i didn't even think about that yeah so i mean

they're starting in the upper million like upper one millions and then the other ones are lower two millions this is a community that before this project was already suing on behalf of like people who need affordable housing because of the lack of availability of affordable housing. And now they're like, what if we dropped a planned community where everything was around $2 million to start? Well, that'd be fun, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It'll bring the right kind of people to town. All right. Well, speaking of weird water projects, water situations, the Summer Olympics are coming up. They're in Paris and some people are expressing concern the athletes could be swimming in literal shit because the swimming events, not all of them, but the distance swimming events are being held in the sen river which is you you may know as the river that like flows through the middle of paris and is like i i've never wanted to touch it like you know like if you've ever seen it it's not like man love would love to go for a dip in in that water they don't have lagoon technology you know they do not have lagoon and that is that's what they should be thinking about because recent tests of the river have showed alarming levels of bacteria including e coli

in 14 tests taken between september and march all but one of the results showed poor water quality, which isn't great. So this is, I guess, a throwback to people swimming in the Seine in the 1900 Olympics when multiple events were held in the river. But since 1923, swimming in the Seine has been banned due to the river being polluted. Wait, just like in general? Like if you live in the area, you can't swim in it? You cannot swim in that. But this time you can. What? And it also seems like one of those laws that doesn't need to be that strictly enforced.

Because nobody's like, you know what seems like it'd be fun? Eco life. Yeah. Yeah. Jumping in that brown body of water it's funny because when i read this i was like wait this feels like a every olympics story and i looked back in tokyo there was also a similar thing about the bay smelling like a toilet near the swimming venues and also contains e coli then i was like what about london i remember the people talking

about the thames too also in the london olympics high levels of e coli were found in the river thames course so it basically feels like it's like this annual or whatever semi whatever quadranual i just made that up a news story that comes up about the olympics got shit water it's like a tale as old as time i'm like as far back as i can remember, it's always, it's always, because like all these urban areas are gonna, you know, we're not fucking taking care of the environment. So yeah, it's going to be shitty, literally. We weren't taking care of the environment, but now the city has launched a $1.5 billion infrastructure project that involves adding underground pipes, tanks, and pumps to keep wastewater from flowing into the river. I guess the big problem is that it's okay until it rains, and then all sorts of canals and shit rivers

start overflowing into one another, and then the river is full of literal of literal shit yeah but they also changed this was interesting they had to change the law to require more boats to use paris's sewage networks rather than emptying sewage and wastewater directly into the river i mean a baby step is still a step i guess yeah thanks joe it's just wild that that wasn't already a law. Even Chicago had sued Dave Matthews' band for dumping all of their shit in the river of Chicago, right? What? There are a lot of people in that band. Yeah. That's a lot of poop. You don't know the story about how their tour bus

stopped on a bridge in Chicago, and it was one of those great bridges, you know, bridges that has a great over it and then just emptied all their sewage out. And there was a tourist boat going underneath it at that moment. So they got, they got a little bit of trouble. Oh,

that's what a story. I was in actually don't. And the guy on that boat, Michael Phelps. Yeah, exactly. Test him, test him, test him. Yeah, so apparently people in boats were just shitting directly into the river before, but I don't know. No more. This is how things work in hypercapitalism is that you don't get money to fix polluted water

until the olympics come to town and then right you know suddenly you have 1.5 billion dollars but hey it's better than continuing to have shit in the water i guess yeah also please please i hopefully the breakdancing venue doesn't have shit everywhere either because i'm really looking forward to watching the olympdancing. Could you imagine somehow this venue also flooded terribly with human waste? What? Let's see how they do.

Basketball court covered in shit. Wait, what's going on? Fox News, it's more like San Francisco Olympics. You're like, oh boy. Here they go. Well, Ben Bolin, what a pleasure having you Like San Francisco Olympics. You're like, oh, boy. Here they go. Here they go. Well, Ben Bolin, what a pleasure having you, as always, on The Daily Zeitgeist.

Where can people find you, follow you, hear you, all that good stuff? Heck, yeah. If you feel like you haven't heard enough today, check me out on social media and a burst of creativity. I'm calling myself at Ben Bolin on various platforms. Maniac. You're crazy for this one, Jack. You can also find us on Ridiculous History where none

other than Miles and Jack show up. Got to get you guys back on the show soon. We just show up. Yeah. Stuff they don't want you to know. Still a thing. Somehow haven't been fired for that uh you know that's where you guys out on the uh havana syndrome the havana singe we yeah we were talking about that recently you saw that 60 minutes thing that was gonna be like a piece of

media yeah i don't know man it's interesting because we had i think we had a really good discourse where you brought up this point and you said, you know, if, if it's psychogenic, right. If we have now a name to hang a malady or malaise upon, then there's a power to that. And it was just astonishing to me that after, after all this exploration, right. 60 minutes and what is it? Dare Spiegel and a couple other folks come out with this investigation. Insider. Yeah. The Insider, yeah.

Yeah, the Insider, right. It's just not confirmed, though. It's members of the U.S. government saying, I don't know. Most of the U.S. government is saying it's bullshit but uh right yeah i just need to somebody needs to tell me here's how the science worked on it uh somebody needs to tell me here's

why when they recorded the sound of it it was crickets oh that's right yeah and then somebody needs to tell me like the physical malady how it has lasted longer than a physical injury would. Right. Because that recent that earlier study before the 60 minutes thing proved that there were no physical effects, no deformations in the neural structure. But also the thing is, the thing that keeps getting me about this is the technology as explained again, without the science to your point, it's possible. Like it is possible to create something that could do something like that. You know, that's the idea, but also we're in a fear mongering cycle right now, right? Like everybody is... I mean, there are terrible things and then there are also very powerful

people who want you to worry about something else. It just seems kind of convenient that all this shit is burning down and then whenever somebody needs a good Fox News scare, they're like, also, man,

these Russians, dog. These Russians. These Russians are after you. You got their fucking crosshairs on your head, dude. What should I do? Your ear snails. Yeah, and I think that the only technology I've heard of that could do it would need to be the size of a building. It's not

a thing that you can just take out and point at someone and then put it back in your pocket. You know what I mean? And it can't go through walls. It feels like you would wake up and turn around and there would be a guy crouching on your pillow

pointing it at your ear for it to work out instead of just a mystery sound beam. Anyways, well, is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? Is it the 60 Minutes report? It's the 60 Minutes one. Thought of you guys and shout you out on stuff they want you to know.

Because I was, look, folks, if you're tuning in, you haven't seen the 60 Minutes thing, would love to hear your thoughts. Because again, these are actual journalists who spent years investigating this. But I just don't know, man. I don't know. It really made me suddenly... All the people who are like, yeah, 60 Minutes has CIA connections. All the mainstream media. They have these people who are in skull and bones with the head of the CIA.

I was always a little skeptical of that shit. And 60 Minutes doing that story, I was like, huh. Okay. Maybe we need to take another look. What's the reasoning behind it at that point? It just feels like propaganda. I'm like, was this something that we were, aside from people who are really interested in the story,

needed this kind of an update on it? Where they're like, yeah, man, it's definitely Russia, for sure. I mean, most people disagree that are experts in the story needed this kind of an update on it where they're like yeah man it's definitely definitely definitely russia for sure i mean most people disagree that are experts in the field but that's just like their opinion man yeah right exactly and and the response is always yeah but russia though right and then people like well yeah you know you don't trust russia oh you do trust Russia. You think Russia is cool. Is that what you're saying? Wow.

Is that where you're going with this? Interesting. You love it. Sounds like you fucking love Russia, dude. Wow. I think it's a combination of probably, you know, it always being good for the U.S. to have fear mongering of Russia happening. And also there being a lot of people who believe they got injured and, you know, aren't going to let it just die down of like,

you know, go down in history as them having a psychogenic thing like that's kind of humiliating. So that makes sense. And it's very difficult. It might feel horrible for the people who are experiencing that. For sure. And look,
