a.k.a. Mountain Dew Pitch Jack, a.k.a. Mountain Dew Zite Out, a.k.a. Mountain Dew Sweet Thightening, or Thightening, a.k.a. Mountain Dew Frost Zite. And I'm thrilled to be joined by today's special guest,

co-host, Jamie Loftus! A.K.A. keep having the same dream about Adam Sandler mailing bras to my house, but the bras are always too big! What? I've had that dream three times this week. Jamie, what? Adam Sandler is Amazon priming, which I don't even agree with. He's sending bras to me in the mail on Amazon Prime. I open the box.

The bra is way too big. I have no way of contacting Adam Sandler to let him know. It just says, like, sent courtesy of Adam Sandler? Or does he reach out and be like, ah, Very informal. It's the gift slip. Or it's like a dream thing where I just know it's from him, but it's definitely from him. The bra's never the right size. It's not like

a concert man or whatever. Opera man. It's not just characters, it's actually Adam Sandler. It's just the man, Adam Sandler. And yeah, if there's any dream analyzers in the listener base, please don't tell me if it means something bad. Do tell me if it means something funny.

On the subject of the difference between dream Adam Sandler, real Adam Sandler, and opera man Adam Sandler, I once saw him at a pool with his kids, and he was doing characters. Oh, hell yeah. To entertain them. He was doing, I think, his character from, is he in Hotel Transylvania?

Yeah. I think he was doing Dracula. He would be great to have as a dad. What a fun dad. He seemed like the best dad. Just exactly what you would expect him to be based on the movies. That is how he wins. Yes.

Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious, the brilliant, the talented Cody Ziegler! Oh my God. Watch as the crowd, an odd hush, rushes over the crowd here at the Daily Zeitgeist Stadium. Thanks for having me back, Falk, guys. Love to be here. I'm hopped up off some coffee. I'm ready to rumble. Hell yeah. That's the way we like it.

I'm good to go this morning. Do you guys have like, oh, nothing bad has happened today yet because we record early enough in the day? I stopped looking at my phone in the morning because I didn't want to be sad since the East Coast is three hours ahead of us in the torture chamber so

right when we when we end this recording I'll check into my pain app and see what's going on in the world just let it wash over you yeah yeah well guys I'm going to tell you guys about what you've been missing out on. I'm going to ruin your day.

It's like bad news that makes me feel... There's different types of bad news. And today has been full of bad news that has made me feel maybe slightly more reassured about the future. Slightly, a little bit, very, very very low bar uh anyways we'll talk about uh why trump's house of cards may be crumbling uh we'll talk about the 300 million dollars that uh the trump administration took from the cdc uh put it towards the HHS to pay Dennis Quaid and CeCe Winans to tell people to fight despair. That's what they're calling it. Rather than fighting coronavirus, you got to fight the despair around the coronavirus. I thought you were possibly referencing Dennis Quaid's podcast,

which is, I think, maybe the most cursed piece of media on the market today. And that's a competitive market. If you want to hear some of the freakiest shit in the world, the Denissance podcast. The Denissance? I don't know.

That sounds extremely not cursed to me. That sounds like the perfect idea for a podcast. The Denissance. He did have... He got Dr. Fauci, the denizens. Oh, wow. He got Dr. Fauci. I think that might be part of this propaganda campaign to get people to feel okay about a $300 million propaganda campaign to get people to, it's not fighting coronavirus,

it's fighting people's bad feelings about the coronavirus it's a good vibe check yeah yeah vibe check yeah celebrity $300 million vibe check oh nice a nine-figure vibe check yeah oh nightmare um and then we'll do some like brain bleach news rundown. Oh, yeah. Bleach my frontal lobe, baby. I need it. Yeah, yeah.

I mean, again, I recommend the denouissance. You know what? I'm going to actually go check it out. I got to check out this denouissance and see what he's talking about over here. Yeah, yeah. We'll talk about the NBA bubble, what's going on in there. We are now to the finals. We'll talk about the Great British Baking Show.

We'll talk about PEM 15, Korean Soft Drinks, David Attenborough, and the Social Network. All of that, plenty more. What a randomized list. Action-packed, baby. Just stuff that I was using to distract myself

from our impending doom. But first, Cody, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? I recently found out about sad lamps, so I searched what an actual sad lamp was. I believe it was

seasonal affect disorder lamp. Apparently, it's like a lamp that you buy during the winter months. It recreates the color temperature of the sunlight. It makes you less sad. My first thought was that since we only have one and a half seasons in LA, it may not make that much sense for me to buy one. It's pretty sunny outside. But then again, it has been overcast with that nice Blade Runner tone.

So maybe I do actually need to invest into a sad lamp. I wonder if there's a weather service that gives weather forecasts based on dystopian movie landscape. Because I definitely had a Denis Villeneuve vibe for a week there. I was like, that's... It's a very classy vibe. Yeah, it's a very classy vibe. Yeah, it's not full original Blade Runner,

but a lot of his movies that are set in the future have this sort of grayish, orange-ish sky. Orangey blue. It kind of looks like a movie poster. Yeah, exactly. Listening to a lot of synth, talking to Siri a lot, just trying to get into that post-apocalyptic cyberpunk mindset.

Yeah. I used to have a little light therapy lamp, but it was when I lived somewhere where there was winter, and I don't know if it did anything. Yeah, I'm trying to think back. So when I went to undergrad, I lived in the mountains, and we definitely had winter for like four to six months out of the year.

And the only thing I remember is that I would have very cozy sleeps at night. I don't remember being sad. I just remember having very nice frost-induced comas I'd go into when I'd go to sleep at night. It's nice. You're just like, oh, I just feel like I'm in the house from misery all the time. The coziest,

most heartwarming movie. At least I have someone looking after you. Taking care of you. Looking after all belongings in the house to make sure you don't move them even remotely out of position. She doesn't want you to get cold. She wants you to stay in the house. Yeah.

Like Ellen. I mean, talk about a good... If you're thinking of movie characters that were good with COVID and staying inside, Misery is right up there. Yeah, she'll hobble you so you can't go outside. Perfect. Yeah, exactly.

Just the excuse I need to take it easy for a couple seasons. The lady from Misery would for sure have like Dr. Fauci panties that like freaky boomer moms are getting. You know what? I would say that. I think there's a 50-50 coin toss between that and her being full QA'd on. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

For sure. I could see either of those because her undying affection for the Stephen King proxy in that is very similar to the way that I feel like the Q people feel about Trump, except for the fact that she was not forgiving of his missteps. She's like, I'm going to take this into my own hands, which would be great if some Q followers did that.

I mean, talk about a girl boss. Yeah, hashtag girl boss. Jamie, are you able to talk at all? Speaking of QAnon, are you able to talk at all speaking of q anon are you able to talk at all about the story you're working on or is that a smooth c it's still kind of in the early stages but it's basically just like yeah talking about uh public uh public vehicles are uh in our area have been seen with q anon stickers and it's just uh i'm in the process of figuring out who, how, you know, all the W's, all of those. I don't know.

It's fucking like I feel like everyone's learning curve for QAnon has really had to ramp up the past month or so where I figured out my aunt is like she's been posting bizarre shit and I was like, oh, it's QAnon stuff. Like she's like I remember she posted to Facebook JP Morgan sunk the Titanic. I'm like that oh, it's QAnon stuff. Like she's like, I remember she posted to Facebook, JP Morgan sunk the Titanic. I'm like, that's a Mad Libs.

But that's a QAnon thing. Oh, wow. Yeah. Truly just conspiracy Mad Libs. Truly, yeah. What the fuck is happening with the Titanic right now? Because like there's also, it's really having a moment right now because there's also, it's really having a moment right now. Because there's also stories about maybe it wasn't an iceberg.

It was some glitch that fucked with the navigation system or something. People need to relax. The northern lights. I love Titanic. The myth, the movie, everything. But people need to chill. It's like, at this point, who does care? In many ways, how Kubrick faked the moon landing,

you think Cameron faked the Titanic? Yo, that was a thing. It can't be a coincidence. That was in the early 2010s, early teens of this decade, there were a lot of young people on the internet who were just finding out that the Titanic was based on a true story. They were like, wait, what? You love to see it. Oh, boy. I love that.

I found out recently that a singer I like is Titanic nepotism. I found out recently that a singer I like Is Titanic Nepotism Like her Some of her ancestors I mean she's like from a rich family Because every successful person is right But she Yeah she's like Titanic

Like her family became really prominent When her like great great great great uncle Sunk on the Titanic She's Titanic Nepotism You can still ride that out Yeah you know what Cash those nepotism you can still ride that out yeah you know what you know cash those checks do what you can do that's all a hustle like i respect the game right yeah king princess great music titanic nepotism king princess is her name uh yeah

wow hell yeah see it yeah at least she's not like trying to hide any sort of nepotism with her name. No, she's like, I'm Titanic nepotism. It is what it is. Cody, what's something you think is overrated? All right, so I'm going to have a theme this week, so bear with me. But overrated is the SodaStream. I have gotten a Drinkmate, which is, I think, the Woker version of the SodaStream. I have gotten a Drinkmate, which is, I think, the Wokr version of the SodaStream. I'm now a hashtag fizz gang, hashtag bubble boy.

And I have been absolutely carbonating every single thing that's in my fridge. We got coarse water. Everyone's done that. We got lemonade. We got strawberry lemonade. We got orange juice, peach mango orange juice. And literally, after we finish this recording, I'm going to walk to the 7-Eleven at the end of the street.

And then I'm going to buy two Gatorades and come back and carbonate those bad boys. So I am absolutely on one. I am out here for the fizz. I'm out here dying for the bubbles. And honestly, I mean, I don't know if I can show it here. So now my room is just filled with these CO2 canisters because it's the coolest part of the house is in my room is just filled with these CO2 canisters because it's the coolest part of the house is in my room

and I'm afraid they're going to explode in the kitchen because it gets hot in here. You're also ready for a party in rural Tennessee. We're going to do some whippets in the parking lot. Get real weird. I want to know what carbonated Gatorade tastes like that could be really good

follow my twitter you'll you'll be up to date jamie don't worry i'll be live tweeting it so soda stream is the thing that's overrated i think yeah i think i read they had some weird political ties and like i uh like if i'm gonna spend a bunch of dumb money on something that puts bubbles in my drink i gotta do with the the wokest version I could possibly do it, which was the Drink Mate. What's something that you've learned from, like, is lemonade really good? Carbonated? You want me to break it down for you, King?

Okay, I'll say, honestly, right now, out of all the dumb things that I've carbonated, my favorite so far has been peach orange mango juice. Wow. Two taps taps less than one second let the air let the carbonation come out it's the best thing I've had it's incredible it'll change your life

that sounds really good I'm telling you I'm the Pied Piper coming in with my carbonated drinks I'm leading everyone to the promised land follow me king what is something you think is underrated Pied Piper coming in with my carbonated drinks. I'm leading everyone to the promised land. Follow me, King. What is something you think is underrated? Oh, I'm glad you asked again.

Following my theme of liquids, Thai iced tea. The Thai iced tea has done so much for the culture. Once again, I'm showing people the videos I've been going down on this bad boy. I don't know if you guys know this. I don't know why you would, but I don't drink caffeine that much. I can't handle it. My system can't handle it. So when I get even a little bit of it, I'm absolutely wired. And I've had three cups of this today, so I am absolutely on one right now.

My heart's beating out of my chest. You're on one through ten. Yeah, I feel so hyper. It's a drink that I don't think gets a lot of recognition in the tea game or in the coffee adjacent game. Also a big fan of the Thai iced coffee. I live in K-Town, and I hit up the California market yesterday, and I finally found some Thai tea. And I'm like, all right, this is my jam. I'm getting in there.

So anyone out there looking for a good sweet tea that's not like Southern sweet tea, I cannot stress enough how good the Thai iced tea tea is folks it's being slept on is it the orange one that has like the cream at the top that like slowly drizzles down yeah it looks good it's got a cool bottle it'll change your life and i've done the iced coffee before i've never tried the iced tea oh you you gotta get in there Jamie I'm telling you It'll change your life Have you carbonated it yet? You know what I think

That's one of the situations where Man has the power But maybe not necessarily he should It's just a Jurassic Park thing Where like I don't know if I can handle that Yeah Yeah You thought about how you could

It's only Monday though But you didn't necessarily Come back to me on Friday Maybe I've done it Friday you're gonna have Jeff Goldblum lecturing you about. Didn't think about if you should, Zig.

What is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? You know what? Ending on my theme of liquids, I don't think you have to shake well before drinking. Wow. Yeah, think about that like honestly how many times have you bought a sweet tea or a lemonade and like you've shaken it well before drinking or do you go straight to the dome i always go personally go straight to the dome

i i don't know i don't know what the shake would necessarily do like even on this bottle of iced tea that i just shoved in your faces it says shake i didn't shake baby i went straight to went straight to cup i I'm also very pro even if it's mixing stuff around. I like to have stuff at the bottom of the cup. If there's some stuff at the bottom of the cup or the bottle, it doesn't bother me. It's a bonus. Do you like a little sediment?

Yeah. Especially in iced coffee sediment. It used to be like I was heavy into iced coffee sediment. Then you let it dry out and then you light the bottom of the bottle and it smokes up, right? Hell yeah. We've all been there, right?

Yeah. Out of all the toxic things I put in my body, an unshaken lemonade can't be the worst thing. It's probably the best, to be honest. Right, right. I've actually started shaking. I never grew up shaking milk. And now I shake milk before I pour any type of milk.

And that has made the milk creamier. What kind of milk we messing with over there? I was going to say, it depends on the milk. Yeah, we got 2%. We got almond milk. It's a real crapshoot depending on who's doing the buying. But we drink a lot of milk with a two-year-old and a four-year-old in the household. Yeah, makes sense.

I've been a silk boy the past couple of months. Yeah, I like silk. Yeah, I got a bunch of, I have stuff left over from my apocalypse kit that I made at the beginning of quarantine. I still have a ton of almond milk. I have all this hydrogen peroxide. I'm just like, what the fuck was I going to use this for? When I bought my apocalypse kit, literally the only thing

I bought was just a big knife. I think that you can start a fire with. I made a whole Amazon list and I only made one purchase. That was it. To prepare for the apocalypse, you just watch Crocodile Dundee.

I think I got it i wonder what people have left from their like march apocalypse kids mine's pretty depressing we had a big like jug of water that was like leaking all over all of our other stuff the whole time so we just have like a bunch of waterlogged shit. But it's just interesting that we're talking about carbonating things because one of the most tasty-looking beverages on this list is a carbonated yogurt beverage. Ooh, I've heard of this. Is this like a Saudi Arabian thing?

This is actually Korean. Have you ever had the little yogurt drinks that you can get at Korean groceries? Like Activia, Jamie Lee Curtis. Activia has kind of... Right. Yeah, that's what people associate it with now because it was the first kind of mainstream thing to the market in the United States. But yeah, there's some...

It's good. It's basically like a very popular children's drink in Korea. And I've always... My mother-in-law will buy a bunch of it for our kids and I will drink all of them. They come in little tiny bottles. What are they called? They're called yogurt drink.

Oh, I'll add that to the list. Yeah. I'll do some research. Now, so apparently, I just discovered they come in larger sizes that are carbonated, which I'm just, my mind is blown. I'll add that to the list, my man. Super producer Anna Hosni is saying that carbonated yogurt is popular in Iran as well. Yeah.

Okay. saying that um carbonated yogurt is popular in iran as well yeah okay i i think i think this might be one of those situations where america is just uniquely uh head up its own ass yeah we're too busy with with coca-cola not the good stuff yeah exactly um we only like our carbonated beverages if they can dissolve a human jawbone overnight. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break and we will be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months.

These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.

So tonight is the debate. We're not going to do a big, long debate preview here other than you can look forward to just dread, just like hot dread. I'm still debating. I'm still trying to figure out if I want to watch live or if I just want to catch up later. I'm like, I don't know if I have any need to watch live at this time. I'll see the gifs on Twitter.

I don't need to choke that down in real time. Yeah, I feel like I just am not up to it at this time. I'll see people making the same three or four jokes and I'll like them. And then like, all right, that's what I can gather that happened in the debate. Did you guys watch the Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump debates? Oh, yeah, that was frightening. That was so rough, man. I've been having all these 2016 flashbacks of this time four years ago.

Yeah, I went with friends to a bar. We made a night of it. four years ago yeah i like went with friends to a bar like we made like made a night of it uh it felt man we were 500 years younger at that time yeah it seems like so much simpler like i would how i would love to just have donald trump hovering over hillary clinton bizarrely like how i would love to go back to those days as opposed to like watching him and like joe biden's brain brains bleed out in real real time yeah. I'm so stressed about it. Yeah, me too. I'm going to, the next time,

it'll be interesting to compare photographs of the before and after the debate because I feel like I'm going to, it's going to be like comparing presidential, like Obama before inauguration. Everything's great. You get a full beard over the course of the debate just start looking like andre guadalla uh i don't know that's a

that's a miami heat reference for all the sportos out there but for some reason two of their uh two of their players just look like they're shipwrecked uh all of a sudden it's kind of awesome they just like we're like yeah we're all of a sudden. It's kind of awesome. They're just like, yeah, we're not even looking in a mirror. Yeah, we're here because we're talented players, not because we look fantastic. Yeah. But anyways, so we'll be covering that at some point in the future, the debate. But some news broke over the weekend about trump's tax returns um yeah so the new york times did a deep dive revealed a bunch of just wild shit uh

many of his signature businesses including his golf courses report losing just absurd amounts of money just so much money just like he is very bad at business would be like the top line takeaway i just wish that they had to like provide an itemized list of what they're like we lost a billion dollars in golf balls well there are some itemized things that you know first of all it should be noted that this is all their version of events right like when you're filing your taxes this is like your account of what happened to you financially that year um so we don't have that much insight but we do have itemized uh deductions like 70 000 in hairstyling for donald trump in particular for a

television um there's apparently so like when the apprentice came out and he like the marketing for him uh kicked into high gear and like people stopped associating him with going bankrupt all the time. Like that guy who is famous for constantly losing... Notoriously bad businessman. Yeah, notoriously bad businessman and started associating him with... Middle America started associating him with being good at business. And not just Middle America. Whoever watches TV started associating him with that.

Sure. He took advantage of that and started borrowing tons and tons of money uh and so that money is apparently about to come due like hundreds of millions of dollars and that people who have looked at his financial uh at his tax documents are like there's no way he has that money. Like, she's... That story was... I mean, it's like, God only knows

if this will actually result in anything. I feel so dead inside that I'm like, who knows? But it was fucking fascinating to read through this story of just, like,

the length of fuckery. Like, the more you... It's so boring going into, like, the hyper-specifics of documents like that, but if you look hard enough, you'll find the funniest shit in the entire world it really is like the boss baby was like a real

life person right you're just like oh you know i'll take money and i'll funnel into this into this failing stinking ship and i'll funnel it into this what i love so much about that article is that like it was so dense and so comprehensive that they had to come up with a top 21 craziest thing that they found in the article. There's a BuzzFeed mystical inside of it. Here are the greatest hits of capitalism failing. Check these out, baby. Yeah, Jamie, to your point,

I feel like we've learned repeatedly by this presidency, by this version of America to never underestimate uh his followers ability to ignore the fuck just the most deflating yeah i would be i would be really surprised if this i hope it does i would be surprised but it's not gonna puncture incredible it's not gonna puncture like the cult right like they They invented a cult to specifically explain away

just the most image-deflating news about him. But it does seem like it gets at... And the Democrats are not taking it this way. The Democrats are just taking it as like, it is not fair that he didn't pay enough taxes. That probably isn't the thing that's going to resonate the most. Never underestimate their ability to fumble anything. Right.

But the fact that it, so we now know because of the New York times reporting that he inherited like so many millions of dollars and that he, the thing that he is good at is losing that money he just like loses it over and over so he's not the thing he's not like if i were a trump supporter the thing that i would be like i would feel very worried about that central uh i don't know like vulnerability that the guy who is our candidate's main thing that he's supposed to be good at he actually sucks at he's actually really good at not being good at it like that's

the worst yeah um so i don't know like it seems like that should be how many times have we learned this lesson though it's like it's such common knowledge like this i mean seeing seeing the even the headline alone of like income paying income tax in the three figures and then seeing all the comparative stuff that is like like and then seeing like a teacher pays like ten thousand dollars in income tax and like just how it's ridiculous but it's like how many times are we going to be reminded that he's horrible at business and that he has been evading taxes for decades before it like when is it going to matter is ever going to matter i don't know right i mean so the thing that he his retort when hillary clint was like you don't pay taxes that's right good as an american he was like that that makes me smart uh i'm a genius

but like you're a bunch of suckers but the people who are like so people who have as much money as him uh whether they earned it or were gifted it by their daddy um were like pay on average like for the amount of money that he has, they should have paid $400 million in combined federal income taxes if he were just on average with the top 0.01% of people of wealth wealth in the in the nation so like other people who are obviously you know smart enough with their money to have actually earned that much money still pay taxes they still pay like hundreds of millions of dollars of taxes um so he's just i think criminally delinquent is the is the appropriate description oh boy i i truly would love to see an itemized list like what's the dumbest thing that they spent hundreds of

thousands of dollars on like i'm not i mean i wouldn't say like magic beans but like i would not be shocked if it was something adjacent to like glowing rocks that he's like business rocks that he spent you know 2.5 million dollars off you know this yeah i want like the super breakdown because it's like okay seventy thousand dollars in hair unpack that like we're and avonica gets a lot of money a lot of write-offs for consulting oh yeah i completely glossed over that fact yeah she was getting like consult like she had like what almost like 800,000 in consulting fees yeah like her deal yeah which is one of our greatest consultants one of our great business minds yeah um yeah so there's

also so a non-partisan watchdog is filing allegations that the trump campaign this version of the trump campaign the 2020 like the one that he is actively using to try to win the presidency, was laundering $170 million, mostly to Brad Parscale's businesses, but also $7 million to Trump businesses. Cool. Yeah. That seems bad, right?

That's not good. That's not good to me. Yeah yeah and also i feel like it's so flagrant like like i don't know i couldn't think of a more um cartoonishly and outwardly evil corrupt uh administration if i wanted to and the crazy thing is like every three weeks a new like the goal post is not only moved but it is in it is enlarged to such a degree that it becomes comical yeah right it's such a weird like feeling too where it's like this i guess this time in the election cycle is when these stories are supposed to be dropping yeah yeah like these big bombshell like it's such an organized machine of when these stories drop because now biden can talk to him about it tonight and like

yeah and shit like that like there's such a clear precedent for it and it feels like there are hopes are kind of brought up every once in a while to be like i mean we've talked about it all the time of like this is this is it yeah this is gonna be the thing we got him we finally got him we did it i mean i hope i hope that biden you, I hope that Biden uses this pretty significant leverage well tonight and at least gets the... Because I saw it trending, but I just hope that this is not the kind of story that just ends up kind of disappearing because everything is wrong, which has been happening.

It makes me feel better mostly because staging a coup like we've been worried that they're going to do and ignore election results and just try to take over or short circuit the democratic process, that is difficult that that would be very hard to pull off and would require a lot of uh you know coordination and you're also not supposed to be foreshadowing it from six weeks in advance like he's treating it like it's a new season of fucking fargo i'm like yeah you don't drop the trade the teaser then the trailer for the coup. Mr. President, are you going to stage a coup? I cannot tell a lie.

Yes, I'm going to do that. It's like, why didn't you just lie and say it? That's weird. Yeah, that's the crazy thing. You lie all the time. Why don't you say, no, I would never do that. I love America. And then it's like Beyonce,

you drop a midnight release of a coup, you're done. I mean, I think the his strategy is probably that he wants to sow discord and like get his violent followers and the q anon people uh to be like ready to take up arms which appears to be working oh yeah they're gonna start killing uh yeah it's gonna be bad uh and then brad brad parscale the aforementioned brad parscale uh so right around the time they're gonna be killing yeah they're gonna start killing people i know oh yeah they're gonna start killing oh it's probably true wow yeah sorry brad parscale It's such a dark sentence.

I didn't even want to complete it. I think they are. I don't know. I'm very worried about that. Yeah. That his rhetoric is going to cause the number one threat to safety and peace in the country, according to the FBI and white supremacists terrorism like that's

going on in Portland this week there was a lot going on in LA this weekend as well it's things are ramping up so stay safe everybody now how about this Brad Parscale character yeah what kind of shenanigans did he get into

shenanigans I'm calling shenanigans did he get into yeah shenanigans uh i'm calling shenanigans on this fella uh so right around the time that that uh report that watchdog report came out he like hold himself up in his house uh with guns and started saying that he was gonna kill himself uh and so he got like what in la is called 5150 but in Florida it has a different oh they got a different one they got a different I think it's called like the Brady Act or something um but basically it's when you can't be trusted to not harm yourself and so he was taken into psychiatric care but this dude was like running the trump campaign a month ago i was like yeah extremely recently yeah and then i already saw some stories that were spinning it like could this guy really

work for trump and like yeah like you could just go back four weeks and see that he obviously worked for the trump administration yeah i mean i don't really zig did he really that's? Did he really? That is true. Yeah, I don't know. I want to have a book article. Well, it's essentially in that tone. Yeah. You have to admit. Yeah, now I'm thinking like, man, I didn't see that angle he was coming from. Right. Well, this kind of brings me to something I wanted to talk about, which is that J.P.

Morgan sunk the Titanic. And I think that when you think about it, it really is kind of all connected. Can you chase that theory down? Or have you chased that down? Do you know what the theory is? Well, he was a big fat guy and he got really cool and then he ripped a hole inside the Titanic. Yes, I was looking at it

because I've just been doing a ton of research for this story and it makes my head hurt. Yeah, I'll get it for you. Okay. This story is, I mean this brad parscale story is tricky because it's like i mean it's a mental health crisis and that is a terrifying experience in itself being that he appears to be okay i hope that this is you know like that this ends up being like a conscience like i have some things I need to get off my chest

about working for the world's worst person. Like, I don't know. I wonder how this will play out. I mean, when you look at the fact that it was like $170 million, mostly to Brad Parscale's businesses or businesses registered to him, it seems like he fits the mold of a fall guy very easily. Oh, yeah. Stand right on his forehead.

Yeah. Right. So he might just be coming to terms with that. Like, oh. That's a thing that repeatedly happens to Trump. Yeah. That's another thing that I've sort of i mean enjoyed it maybe too uh too light of a word but like watching each new rube that he fought he circles through

every let's say three to three to six months there's a new guy that's going that you see them like oh this person is going to go to prison for trump and like they never see it coming into like the last minute yep um but anyways hope you know hopefully he's okay uh shout out to a king brad we hope you're doing good i was like oh i was like he's very low on the list of people give a fuck if he's okay yeah um it was nice that the police showed up to his house while he was armed and inebriated and didn't shoot him. Those kind of them. Yeah. That's kind of crazy they did that, too.

I can't believe they did that. I don't know what happened. It's kind of not what they're known for doing. I have an update on J.P. Morgan QAnon. Okay, great. I needed to clarify it. So it is, it's a very QAnon in a way. You checked with J.P. Morgan sources?

With the spokesperson? Yeah, I'm Titanic nepotism, so I just reached out. Right, right. Okay, so the theory is, so JP Morgan, I guess, was supposed to be on the Titanic, but then canceled his ticket at the last minute. Oh. Three of JP Morgan's rivals rivals just other rich guys jacob astor isidore strauss uh grand grand

something to king princess and benjamin guggenheim were on the ship so the theory is jp morgan had this had 2 000 people killed to kill three rich guys even though everything, most of these rich guys bought their ticket after J.P. Morgan had canceled, so it actually makes no sense. And they're probably all part of the same weird rich guy Illuminati, too. Yeah, exactly. It's just old-timey Illuminati.

But the comment section on this explainer page is really fun, because it's just like Doug says, yes yes this is all true uh the maritime scheme goes deep do your research uh because this was like a debunking page anyways uh a disaster a mess do your damn research yeah i mean he said what he said yeah the q thing uh we we have a podcast coming uh called q clearance that is going to look into who q actually is but uh there is a episode of reply all that just came out that uh poses uh a theory as to like who is in control of the the account and also just looks at the overall phenomenon one of the things they're pointing out is that

this is nobody's first conspiracy theory. It's people who believed in, who are like 9-11 truthers. Flat earthers is a big group of people who migrated. It's the heroine of conspiracy theories. It's the thing you work your way up to the big leagues yeah the big leagues the the goods you know what i'm saying uh really good no uh heroin is bad for you that is our official policy um good take yeah i you know i say the brave take yeah evergreen

take all right let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman.

The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

But Twilight, for instance. Yeah. Got my little Edward Cullen wig right nearby. Ready to cosplay at a moment's notice. Really briefly, I want to talk about a new propaganda campaign that the Trump administration has spent $300 million on. They took that money from the cdc budget because who what the what does the cdc need yeah money for right now during a global pandemic and uh put it

to hhs health and human services uh and the campaign is to defeat the coronavirus i'm sorry that's defeat despair about the coronavirus my bad uh much better much better they're paying celebrities to talk about how the coronavirus shouldn't i can't believe oh i can believe quaid took the check i just this is such a peak like i mean this is just peak trump administration thing to do instead of investing in finding a solution, it's like, let's reinvest that money in marketing to make it seem like things are fine when they're not. He's good at that. That's the one thing he's good at. And this is another example of that.

He's not going to actually do the thing that brings value to Americans of fighting the pandemic. He's just going to brand his pandemic response as the greatest pandemic response in the world with the help of the dad from Parent Trap. I just can't get over like, this is beside but this has been such a weirdly big year for dennis quaid and i just can't make sense of it he's like really having a moment right now he like married a 26 year old uh oh wow him and sean penn both uh sean do you know sean penn married uh val kilmer's daughter sorry this is just like... Are you serious? Really? Yeah. That's so fucking weird.

Yeah, it's horrible. Dennis Quaid married a child. He probably met her when she was like zero. Yeah. They were both like huge celebrities when she was born, presumably. That's so bizarre. I will say this seems like

instead of taking the objection, it seems like uh you know instead of like you know taking the objection like it seems like he's just handing out trump trump branded lollipops to like the sick kids instead of like taking the actual medicine you don't need that shot just yeah here just take this lollipop yeah so what does this campaign like consist of like where does the 300 million dollars go so there's gonna be uh quaid is going to uh talk to i think fauci um oh he did on the denissance yeah i think that's right i think that's part of it because yeah and then cdc money going into the denissance wow yes now it's part of a big podcast who would have thought um why is every every and every celebrity podcast the denissance

if you listen to it it sounds like it was recorded in a hallway like you're just like why can celebrities not get like a decent zoom mic right well it's because they are just throwing this together they don't need a decent zoom mic to collect the paycheck yeah this is like on their list of important things this is like number 27 maybe right yeah and it's taxpayer money yeah we should just keep 300 million in taxpayer dollars uh none of which came from the president but so quaid's gonna talk to fauci yeah uh we have a recording artist named cc winans uh who uh is gonna speak to another like government official dr oz garth brooks my boy dr oz is in garth brooks what you know these are some heavy hitters yeah yeah wait okay um and yeah they're just the idea is to talk about how there's nothing to fear but fear itself.

They got Garth Brooks. Did they get Chris Gaines? Yeah, what's his take on all this? That is the question. I wonder what Chris Gaines' politics are. Gaines is a little more moody about the whole thing. Gaines is actually super woke,

but Garth Brooks is the one you gotta look out for. It's the best Jekyll Hyde battle of this century I cannot wait to know what their bullet points are one what they define as despair and what their platform is to like then defeat it

right well when this news hit and Dennis Quaid was called out for his participation he responded with a uh an instagram post uh that lashed out at the cancel culture media it was titled no good deed goes unpoliticized uh hey yeah who would have thought that a PSA directly ordered by the president to be rushed out before an election

would get politicized? I wonder if Dennis Quaid tweeted that from one of his yachts. Maybe that was... He was having his chef was making him some beef tartare. He's like, guys, I just want to unplug for a little bit. Now I got to deal with this PSA. I'm just trying to do a good deed, talk to my boy Dr. Fauci. Now

I don't have to realize. Oh yeah, I'm taking blood money from Trump. I'm pretty sure he voted for Trump anyway. Yeah. After the 2016 election, he told Pop Rods that he thinks everything's going to be better. Dennis Quaid is also the brother of the crazier Quaid, right? better. Dennis Quaid is also,

he's the brother of the crazier Quaid, right? Like of Randy Quaid? He's Randy Quaid's brother, yeah. The Quaids are complicated. Also, his son, I'm sorry I know so much about nepotism. It's my area of expertise. Isn't his son like a successful comic actor?

His son is the star of The Boys. Oh, wow. I like that Quaid, too. I like Jack Quaid, too. I wonder, I hope that Jack Quaid is sitting down with Dennis and giving him some talk because I want to believe the best in Meg Ryan's son. He's like double nepotism.

Oh, wow. Two-foot. I didn't realize that Meg and Dennis had broken up. That's where I'm at. You hate to see it. He's now married to someone his son's age.

Big year for Dennis. Just government money going to Dennis Quaid is just like, all right, I'm done. That's a wrap. All right. Let's do a quick brain bleach news rundown uh talk about things that are happening that are uh i think mostly you know uh sealed off from the political uh just global hellscape we're all existing in uh two that are actually like sealed off is uh what's happening in the nba bubble actually three right off the bat that are happening in actual literal

bubbles lebron james uh made it to the finals and is just went completely off um is so good at basketball, so good at being a famous person. On this show, we've been raving about Damian Lillard was in the bubble making these shots that he was shooting from half court and just draining it like it was no big deal. It was sort of this next level thing. Then we started doing the same thing about Jamal Murray, who's another young guy who is making just shots

that you've never seen people make before. But LeBron, old man LeBron, just came through and defeated both of those teams. As someone who does not watch that many sports, I can always tell sort of what's happening by what type of memes I'm seeing on my timeline on Twitter. So I guessed, I guess accurately, that LeBron James has done something impressive because there's a lot what type of memes I'm seeing on my timeline on Twitter. So I guessed, I guess accurately that LeBron James done something impressive because there was a lot of pictures of him without his shoes on next to pictures of Thanos

with like a koofy on. So like I saw a lot of that. So I figured he did something very impressive over the weekend, but like I didn't have enough context clues to know what exactly he did do. And it's really interesting. Much the same. I'm like something good happened tonight. People are smiling.

Yeah. So the Lakers are back in the finals. LeBron, in the closeout game, if they won, they got to the finals. He just took the team on his shoulders and started playing like it was, I think, almost the best basketball he's ever played for a quarter

and a half there which is incredible because this is the time period when like the other greatest of all time we're either slowing way down or uh retired already um yeah and this is somebody who was like brain damagingly famous when he was 15 years old. Oh, yeah, yeah. Like Nike and Adidas. I always talk about this, but it's still worth repeating, that when he was a kid in high school, Nike and Adidas were taking out billboards around his hometown

that were aimed only at him, trying to get him to sign with them. That's crazy. What happens to your brain when... And he's just done exactly what people... The very highest high hopes that anybody could have had for him, he has succeeded and opened schools and done... Other than one kind of misstep when he was talking about China has been pretty great politically.

I'm glad that I don't follow sports, but it did make me just feel secondhand good over the weekend. I'm like, oh, people are happy about something. I don't really understand what it is. Yeah, it's nice seeing joy, the various spots of joy in the timeline. Yeah, it's nice seeing joy the various spots of joy in the timeline yeah it's nice exactly um there are still people who despise him for reasons that i don't i don't get it but they like when i

was posting or just like retweeting something about how good he is people were like that's bullshit he's like jordan so like they just it can't you can't compliment him without it being like perceived as like an insult to michael george's well jack you have to understand you can't hold space for two people at the same time like you can't enjoy yeah there can only be one yeah there can only be one completely different games separated by decades uh and like i love michael jordan like i michael jordan was like my absolute fucking hero when i was a kid but like we were we were there for the last dance i realized as whether as i was watching the last dance i realized that like i had not watched a single bulls game as a kid i just liked the idea idea of Michael Jordan. Oh, yeah. I realized I've never watched a basketball game as a kid,

but I still loved Michael Jordan. You saw him take down those aliens in Space Jam, right? Yeah, he saved the Earth, man. Yeah. And then the other thing on the other side, in the East, Miami made it to the finals after destroying the evil Celtics. And as I mentioned,

I love Andre Aguidala and Solomon Hill, both just looking like they're shipwrecked. And then one of their best players, Jimmy Butler, started a coffee chain out of his hotel room. Oh, hell yeah. Where he's selling coffee for $20 a cup to people who just apparently the coffee stores in the hotels where they're all staying had to be shut down for quarantine.

That's so funny. That's like an elementary school business. Exactly. Big face coffee. And then another one of their best players, another one of their starters was not drafted into the NBA when he came out of college three years ago. And somebody from the ringer was like, yeah, this dude just reached out to me out of the blue and was like, hey, I'm looking for internships. Because I don't think my career is going to keep going.

And now he's playing in the finals and putting in big minutes. So across the pond, another bubble has formed around the Great British Baking Show, which the whole season is being filmed and produced inside a bubble. Oh, wow. Yeah. Wow. That's good for them yeah i've heard so many like production horror stories already with stuff starting back up that i like that they're like you know we as a nation value the great baking show and we're gonna take we're gonna do what it takes

yeah are you guys do you guys watch this i've never watched it no i i know that i would love it but i've been i need to finish uh every episode of girlfriends before i can watch something else and there's 900 seasons yeah i also did not watch the show but again it's one of those shows where i see memes on the timeline every now and then so like yeah it seems like um maybe because we've been in a hellscape for the past four years, there's been a dearth of just wholesome content. And it seems like this is one of those shows that fills that void of it's wholesome, it's nice. People are, I'm assuming, generally pretty nice to one another. It's not like Gordon Ramsay's ripping someone a new asshole every episode.

That's not why you come to see, that's not why you come to necessarily watch the great British break off. And also, I made a couple of text messages where people would just talk about how much they love the show and how soothing it is it seems almost like it's their version of like a xanax is like they'll watch two or three episodes of the great british breaking show yeah there's i wonder like i have a few shows that i know are like very just good and like wholesome and pure that I just haven't watched because I'm saving them for when the shit really hits the fan. For when Trump wins the 2020 election.

No! I am doing that with Pen15 Season 2 because I love that show so dearly and I just feel like I'm going to need it. I just started Pen15. I've only done half of the first episode, but when Maya Erskine does her Ace Ventura impression,

I've never laughed so hard and felt like such a... For like 30 seconds, I forgot that the world was on fire. They're both so good, but Maya's performance is, I think, my favorite comedic performance of all time. I'm like, I have to stand up while I'm watching it because I think it's so fucking funny that I pace around and scream laugh. I love how well they are able to truly truly capture what was like being in middle school and like how serious everything was like in that first episode when um she's like jeremy's a bitch and she's like oh my god did you i don't think i can date jeremy anymore because dylan said that he's

a bitch like yeah just how that would like how that piece of electricity would like just crackle through everyone oh my god did you hear that dylan called jeremy a bitch and the other kids so it's them as like people in their like 20s or 30s like playing middle school kids but then the middle school kids are really good too yeah child actors are really i'm like if i were a child actor i would not be able to play it straight at all why are child actors so good all of a sudden? I know. Where do they come from? It's very strange.

They famously, I was like, I didn't see a good, except for Haley Joel Osment, of course, but that's like king level. Yeah. It's God tier. Yeah. I think him and Dakota Fanning, right? Those were like the two best ones. Yeah.

They were the God tier of our generation. I love Haley Joel Osment. I hope he's doing well. Yeah. I think he's doing well. I think he is. He's in some show. He was in The Boys. He was in The Boys, yeah.

He and Billy Zane, two of my favorite character actors, will show up on random shows, sometimes playing themselves. And they seem to be okay with it. And I'm okay with it, too. Did you guys both watch The Boys? I did the first season. I've only seen the first episode of the second season. This is my thing.

I'm a binge boy, hashtag binge boy, hashtag bubble boy. I'm going to wait until every episode is out and then I want to tear through it. I understand why they do it from a marketing standpoint. But I want to watch everything back to back. Watching stuff week to week is no longer a lifestyle that works for me. Because I've been watching the NXIVM documentary. And I get truly angry when I can't watch. I'm like, this is not how I'm supposed to feel.

Yeah. I've seen the first four episodes. And I was watching. Oh, great. I can't wait to watch this. this is not how i'm supposed to feel yeah i i i've seen the first four episodes and i i i was watching oh great i can't wait to watch this like this like you know this this deconstruction of like crazy whiteness i was talking so much shit the first three episodes and then the fourth episode comes and you're like oh my god a black lady's doing this and i was completely devastated so like i haven't returned back to it i talked i yeah i talked so much shit to all my friends about how look at these crazy white people and then the calls were coming from inside the house the entire time.

No one is immune to the volleyball guy. It's so horrifying, right? But my sticking points on it, the silliest thing to me is the the husband named nippy his name is nippy and he's like in charge of like the mra wing yeah the cult and then you're like but we like him but he's cool yeah he's like a toxic hank hill like he has the energy of like he feels like he would earnestly say i'm gonna kick your ass and like he would i think he would actually mean it i just it's it's very upsetting content and i don't want to belittle it but every time that you hear like a phone call of like i can't believe i have to tell nippy about all this i'm like i can't deal with this i can't watch

something else not nippy not nippy please no i i haven't made the hbo max like just the investment of three minutes that it would take to figure out, because I do have HBO, so I know I can get in there. You can still watch most of this stuff. Yeah. I need HBO Max to open its arms to the Roku crowd.

Yeah. I need it to just work. I would love to be able to watch more than six minutes of any TV show or movie and not have it just freeze for no reason. I'm watching it on my boyfriend's PS4. It's dehumanizing. What are we, animals?

I was mentioning up top that The Takeout did a rundown of Korean soft drinks, but if you guys aren't already fans the only thing i would say is the yogurt drinks are great banana milk is something that uh oh banana milk is good yeah i'd never had that but that's incredible i have a question for you jack have you i'm looking at this list as well and i've just come across sack sack and it looks fantastic it's like a little tiny can looking at like eight ounces. It's got like an orange on it. Have you tried that?

Have you tried the Saksak? No. Yeah, that was like number one on my list of things that I need to try immediately. Yeah. They say if you're past the novice level of Korean beverage aisle browsing, then you will be into Saksak. Yeah, I think I'm ready to take that plunge. Yeah. I've got so much to

learn. Yeah. And if it's not carbonated, baby, it can be. Don't worry. And then finally, I did want to, you know, I think everybody's been on the edge of their seat wondering how, what the news story about the movie The Social Network was going to be.

I was like, how? What the news? Was it Aaron Sorkin's little freaky comment about it, or what was it? No, it's just somebody pointed out that they got his wardrobe eerily exactly right. Every piece of clothing that Jesse Eisenberg wears in the movie is something like Mark Zuckerberg. I resent this news item. I just like it.

Cause it's real. Like we're watching you type thing to just one person who is like the, we're watching you King. That made me happy there there was like a brief flash of aaron sorkin trending a couple days ago and it was because he just he's just like i understand that he's like a good writer in some cases yeah yeah but like he can be a really good writer but he just was like uh in 2020 here's how i would write the election and it would be at the peak of the and then trump's like trump's loyal standby people would turn their back and say enough is enough mr trump i'm done and i was like shut the fuck up what are you doing very talented writer in some

occasions but also he phenomenally cannot read the room and i think that's that's his main superpower is like not being able to read the room as like someone who is not a who wrote the west wing for a million seasons i mean it's like i i i wouldn't i wouldn't give up Studio 60 for anything. So I'm glad he's here. I enjoy his good work, and I also enjoy his bad work. So I don't know. He contains multitudes. He's so annoying. I just am like, I could beat him in a fight.

He could beat his ass. I believe you. I got your back, Jamie. I've been doing the Jane Fonda workout for six months I'm fucking ready the just the level of dissonance and just like lack of self-awareness

that it took to like have that whole series be about like an SNL clone and then just assume he could write SNL sketches? I got this. We got it. Don't worry.

Oh, boy.

My skin will be flourishing. I was going to say, what would happen? And is there a tweet or some other work of social media you've been enjoying? Yeah, this is a tweet that I saw the other day. It's from Kelgore, K-E-L-G-O-R-E, Trout. And it says,

It really fun it's i haven't gotten i haven't seen uh i've only seen the first episode so i'm excited and and i play the villain too oh hell yeah um on this episode so watch that um i my tweet is kind of depressing i don't know why i chose this tweet but it is a statement of fact um i think just as a way to demonstrate how little uh people care when rich people don't pay their taxes um it's at from at tad parole and it's uh hey remember when the panama papers were released and they showed how basically every wealthy person on the planet was avoiding taxes by offshoring their money and nothing was done about it except the reporter who broke the story was murdered by a car bomb which brought me to my favorite by jamie's little nepotism fact

which is that phoebe waller bridge's father is named in the panama papers oh cracking this thing wide open even talented people are nepotism. It's just a fact. So frustrating. That was my takeaway from the Panama Papers. Tweet I've been enjoying. DVD at DVD player tweeted, beautiful girls, nothing. Sean Kingston, I will kill myself.
