I don't want a robot on my house. I don't like things listening to me all the time. I don't need to ask Siri or Alexa for shit. I don't need a Wi-Fi to connect to my washer. So it tells my phone when my clothes are done. That's why it beeps. I don't need. I just moved into a spot that has that shit and I was like, oh, let me see what this does

with my phone. And I was like, bro, I do not need I do not need all of this information. No, no, I don't need my Fridge to tell me I'm out of fucking ice cream. Yeah, I saw that with my eyes my fat ass ate it last night Right. I'm aware. It's like you don't think I'm getting high and having a panic attack looking at my lack of ice cream my own fucking freezer I don't need you. Yeah, why do you like 12 pints in there? Cuz every time I go to the store, I'm high and I forget that I didn't eat the ice cream. Or I feel like, no, I need options. I forget I need eggs and shit, instead I buy fucking ice cream.

Do we have bread? No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What would you do if mysterious drones appeared over your hometown? I started asking questions. What do you remember happening on that night of December 16th? It actually rotated around our house, looking as if it was peering in each window of our

And I mean, by motherfuckers, I mean the internet. And welcome to season 375, episode three of the Daily Zeitgeist of Production of iHeart Radio. This is the podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared, sorted consciousness. It is Wednesday, February 12 2025. We are Valentine's Day minus two. Okay. And it's also National Plum Pudding Day. I've never had

plum pudding, but that sounds plumb. Don't it? You've had it? No, but you strike me. I guess it's because you're you're a like, primarily fan. That's that's some like British shit, right? I guess it's because you're a Premier League fan. That's some British shit, right? I guess so. Plum pudding is actually more akin to banana bread than an actual literal pudding. Really? Yeah, that's what it looks like. It's similar to a persimmon pudding, a plum pudding.

A fucking persimmon pudding? Yeah, that shit's actually phenomenal. Phenomenal. Fuck. I had persimmon pudding for the first time when I was a little kid. My dad made it and I thought I was gonna get like a big thing of pudding and I didn't know what a persimmon was.

And then he gave me that piece of bread and I was like, the shit is this. And then it was super moist and I was like, whoa, bro. Persimmon is good. King of the fruits. So good. Well, I mean, yes,

I am ignorant of the ways of plum pudding and other things that just basically aren't snack packs. Unfortunately, I'm not that cultured when it comes to pudding. However, that doesn't change the fact that I am Miles Gray, aka, Kylie Minogue, aka, Silver Linings Gray Book. Shout out to Gross Face Kill on the Discord for that one. Yes, I was, I did get overcome with emotion watching the Kylie Minogue video with my baby the other day. And also shout out to my overrated was just giving people's overlinings all the time. All that to say is, I am thrilled to be joined by my guest co host. What am I just a solid dude? You know, he got he has solid cooking skills. He has a solid right hook. He has a solid creatine ingestion regimen. Getting more solid every day. Bro, you keep drinking that creatine. I said, for what?

You're like, I don't know, but I'm doing it. Please welcome to the microphone, the one and only, you know him from Yoast Racist and many other things, but please welcome Andrew T. Yo, I finally got on Discord. Eight months ago ago Johnny Davis suggested Andrew T aka ducked around and got gout. I think that was on from the last time I But I

Here's my I don't I'm not here to give notes. I love I love the zeitgeist and I like discord fine So many of these pitches involve significantly higher acting ability than I am. Like they work on the page, but there's a lot of like hitting the T's in various phrases that I just got to tell you I don't got it in me. So I'm going to say. You're being open and honest about your own limitations as a performer, which not many people do. And I think.'s the thing.

And also, I do think I have an answer to why the creatine. I forgot. I don't know if I mentioned this on Mike, but the reason I'm doing creatine is because it was free. Because my friend got delivered an extra thing. Shout out Zig. And I'm doing it. Yeah. And that's the only reason because I do not work out enough.

This is like how my mom buys shit where she'll be like, I bought this thing because it was on sale. And I'm like, do you need it? She's like, no, but it used to be $300. I got it for 20. And I'm like, yeah, okay, well, I don't think you need a scarf with fairies having sex on it. But that's that do you know why not? Yeah, listen, don't tell your mom. I am your mom.

That sounds like a great purchase. Yeah, I know. I am the same way. Shout out sale know. I know. I know. Same way. Shout out sale culture. I know sale culture is huge. People love of motherfucking sale. Some people only love a thing because of the motherfucking sale. And look, I get it.

I get it. Well, look, whose voice was that? Well, that was all the way from the hollers of Tennessee. One of the one of the, I think, most reputable Dolly Parton fans doing it right now. Damn right. Someone who puts me onto all kinds of different ways to get elevated, whether that's putting up a little crystal, having the lights fill your room with the colorful light spectrum, maybe even hitting the old Stunden glass.

Well, I also find them to be one of the funniest people around, a wonderful 90-day fiance fan, and again, stay off her private property because you will get clapped. Please welcome to the Microfilm Lydia Pappabitch. I love that we know each other so well, Miles. Like honestly, like you always give me the best intros. Like it's literally the essence of who I am. This bitch loves Dolly Parton. She knows a lot.

She will shoot you if you come under her land. She loves to get high and very creative in different ways. Also, she's a witch. Yeah. I love it. I love it. All startlingly accurate. Amazing to have you back. Hey, happy to be back.

Especially now when we are under this new regime, so many things happening. What's the vibe check in Tennessee? What are the vibes like? It's interesting. It's not what I would assume is unlike California a little bit in terms of the liberals being up in arms. Definitely there's less of them than say the other people. But what's different, I think this time around is that it's sort of split between people who are like, hell

yeah, fuck yeah, Trump America, let's go Brandon, I want to shoot everyone and their dog. And then there's people who are like, hell yeah, fuck yeah, Trump, America, let's go Brandon, I wanna shoot everyone and their dog. And then there's people who are like, don't talk to me about it, I don't care, I got stuff to do. And then there's the liberals, most of which have moved from California, who are like, what's happening? Why are people upset?

What's going on? Did you know that people are still racist? But also where can I get a biscuit? Like that's kind of where we're at. Where'd I get these biscuits I keep hearing about? Or like a goo goo cluster? Those sound just so, I mean, they sound a little too much sugar for me,

but I hear great things. Or it's people who like bought a $2 million home in East Nashville right next to like a condemned trap house. And they're like, I'm just appalled that we booked Trump. It smells like marijuana. Yeah, girl, you're part of the problem. Like, you know, and this is coming from someone who moved from California. Obviously I moved from California, but like I moved to the woods and I mind my business. I'm not in Nashville with a fucking wiener dog and fucking juicy couture walking around

asking where the love shack fancy is. You know what I mean? Like, that's not me. I'm not doing that. You know, Google clusters. These look, these shits look so good. They're pretty phenomenal. That's a Tennessee thing, right? Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely. That's an old school. I know my like, it's so funny. Like I always know like a specific food to a lot of cities to try and create some common ground. Like, yeah, you know, let's go to Loveless and get some Google clusters. You know what I mean? I was like, yeah, you know, let's go to Loveless and get some Google clusters. You know what I mean?

I would say, how are you a dog? You love a regional street. You're, you know, you're a little booty. You'd like to downplay it a little bit, but you're definitely somebody who knows what's up. When I go anywhere, like I'm like, what is the shit that I can only get here? That's all the first thing I ask whenever I'm like, because I don't, I don't need to eat shit. I've already already I want to know what y'all are fucking with Anyway, Lydia. Thanks for joining us. Let's give us for having me Let's give the people not even a people the people a peek behind the curtain and let them know what we will be talking

About today in this very special video episode You can't go to youtube.com slash at the daily side guys to watch this and many other video episodes But yes today we are to be talking about God man, the Democrats really let the dumbest motherfuckers just waltz on in because they are finding out shit in real time that is just so sad. But I don't know. This is another case of the fascist dog copped the car. And now they're like, well, how does any of this work?

And we're left to sort it all out. Then, you know, despite all this winning on the right kid rocks life is still shit. And no one likes him. So at least there's that we will we will tune in with him and his drunken ass. Because he pulled his very own Jeb Bush moment at a club in Nashville. And we'll also talk about, you know, obviously, we got RFK his up, you know, his confirmation is imminent now that famously worried human being Susan Collins, Senator Susan Collins, I'm a little worried about, well,

are you voting to confirm it? It sounds like a yes. So we're going to touch on obviously all the issues that are coming with HHS, but specifically fucking raw milk, because that's a huge thing with him. And now it's like this symbol of the right because fuck pasteurization. Am I right? And y'all, that shit is government overreach. So we will touch on that plenty more, maybe some other things.

But first, Lydia Popovich, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? So the last heavy Googling I did was a few days ago. And the very top of that search history, cause I had to look and be like, what were you Googling? What would you have been Googling? Was an article that said infertility in the bitch. And I remember it took me a second and I was just like,

Ooh, tough, tough jab. And then I remembered, uh, cause I'm, I'm researching. I want to, I want to breed my dog. I have a beautiful 105 pound Kenny Corso, and she's a beautiful girl and she has the sweetest temperament and we want to have puppies. So we are going to be purchasing a second dog. And so I'm doing, you know, as you would as a responsible female, some research on how, what she thinks should I look out for, you know, what creates infertility in dogs. And just seeing the headline infertility in the bitch made

me laugh a lot. It made me realize maybe I'm not ready for a grand dog motherhood because I can't even read an article without laughing. Right. I could barely focus because every time it said the word bitch, I was like, bitch.

You're like, and these bitches are infertile. You're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, yo, yo, yo, easy. I know Trump's president, but like, Yeah. And that's exactly where my mindset was. I was like, listen, I know I'm 47. Yeah, she's infertile. She's not having any babies.

Okay, but we do we need to like start giving these be the results like, hey, bitch, no, nah, no, not me. The dog. Oh, that bitch. The dog. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. So, so yeah, that's, um, that's where I'm at is I'm Googling, uh, about my dog's reproductive system. You must love this dog. Cause you're like, I need to, I want this dog to go forth and multiply. I love this dog so much. It's not even funny. And I, and so much that I want her to forth and multiply. I love this dog so much. It's not even funny. And I, and so much that I want her to go and multiply, I'm willing to purchase a

whole other male dog, raise that dog to maturity so that they can have sex so that I can control the bloodline. And then she'll have puppies and then I'll keep one of those dogs, which means if you're counting, I will have three Kenny Corso's. Yes. Which if you were literally listening, um, that's close to 350 pounds worth of dogs running around my house at all times. That's also not counting my tiny dog, who is 16 pounds.

So I have a problem? No, no, no, no, no. I think you have our full support. You have a solution. Yeah. Look, you're on full support. You have a solution. Yeah. You go, look, you're on your Chris Jenner journey right now. You know what I mean? I mean, I'm trying to have my Kardashians. You know what I mean? I'm trying. None of these dogs, well, one of these dogs has an Instagram account. The rest of them do not. Right, right.

You know, they haven't existed yet. Lydia, what's something you think is underrated? You know, I've been thinking about this, uh, cause I tend to give the same answers and literally everything is underrated. Um, no, uh, I think this is a controversial, but I think what's underrated is sugar. I have been on a personal no sugar journey and, uh, I miss it. Uh, I, I, everyone's talk shit about it and I know it's bad for you. It does thing or so says my diabetes doctor. However, sugar's delicious.

What it does to a morning coffee, oh baby. Oh, you put sugar in your coffee. Sugared things, there's sugar in that creamer that you put in your coffee, which makes your coffee delicious. Unless you're drinking just hot and black, which people do, but you know, I and black, which people do. But you know, I like a little, I like a little, a little latte treat.

You know what I'm saying? A little mixed, a little mixed kind of breakfast cocktail, if you will. Sugar certainly helps with that party. I miss it dearly. Sugar is underrated. I just miss it. Andrew, you're sugar in your coffee guy? I'm I don't put sugar in my coffee, but I put sugar in... I think the thing that a lot of people don't think about is like most braises and stews and some of your pasta sauces that is good, the reason it tastes so much better at a restaurant is there's sugar or sometimes fucking corn syrup. Most, not most Asian shit, but a lot of like the best like Korean shit,

fucking corn syrup dogs. Yeah, man. You start reading those rules and you're like, literally everything has sugar in it. Ketchup, sugar in it. Like that is one thing I've looked into. Like it definitely has changed my philosophy on like processed foods in America where I'm like, you know what, Europe's right. We're trash. Yeah, yeah. Like, I read

everything and even when I'm thinking healthy, healthy, I'm just like, Oh my god, unless it's naturally occurring sugar, everything is in it, the amount of effort I have to put into to find foods, literally with no sugar. Yeah, it's so difficult. It's so like I was looking at a bag of celery and it said it had two grams of added sugar. A crunchy crispy lady like I am I love a chip. Love a cracker. Love you know, love anything even I was like buying these like

toasty like garbanzo beans. And I was like, why are they so good? And it was a Korean barbecue flavor. And I'm like, Oh, because oh, yeah, fucking sugar all over. No wonder they're delicious. And it was a Korean barbecue flavor. And I'm like, oh, cause there's fucking sugar all over these things. I know one of they're delicious. Just popping them by the handful thinking I'm doing right. And then I took a look on the back and it's like, yeah, all right. As Homer Simpson said,

the cause of and solution to all life's problems. So I guess really it's not sugar. I guess what's underrated is an actual functioning like insulin output. So like, Hey, if your shit isn't working, yo, bless it, bless working, no, keep that shit. Work less up. Keep that shit up on that.

You know what I mean? Like, that's really what it is. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, have you, have you, have you fucked around with dates and stuff? That's what I've been doing. Babe. Big fan of dates.

Uh, I, that's my new favorite snack is I get to have an old lady snack where I take three dates and I cut them open and I take the seeds out and then I fill them with peanut butter. Oh. And I eat those. And it's quite delicious. Yeah. But, you know, sitting next to like a Snickers bar,

you're like, OK, babe, don't tell me it's a Snickers. Tell me it's a date with peanut butter. Don't go too buck wild, but if you, you want to try putting maybe a little bit of blue cheese or a gorgonzola inside. Oh yeah, I'm very familiar with that. The savory route, super, I know exactly where you're going with that.

Yeah. I'm gonna eat a salad with that combination right after this. Damn. Oh yeah, some dates and a salad, dates and a dressing. Go harder, dude, hit that roquefort, you know what I mean? If you really built that life, that stink life Go harder, dude. Hit that roquefort. You know what I mean? If you really bought that life, that stink life,

people say, hit the roquefort. Okay? Yeah, man. Or that deep blue vein Stilton. Let's get it, dog. Woo! Speaking of deep blue veins, what do you think is overrated, Lydia?

Working at all? Mm. Mm. Mm. And especially working for the man. Like the capital M, right? Like not like the big guy upstairs, Jesus. Although I think that's probably overrated too. But like, you know, his subsidiary is the man, you know, the corporate man who is, who is there telling you, you know, anywhere there's an HR department, um, that's active anywhere where you've got like stock options and there's like things like that, just generally working for the man. So many of us want to be like, Oh, I wish I had a stable job. I wish no, no, you don't just like like honestly, you don't want it. I know it sounds like it'd be better and easier. But

like if you're your own, if you're the man, Sean Connery once said, you're an out dog. Yeah, you know, correct. And that's, that is that I think we all are we're striving to reach that that summit. Yeah, it's, it's a lot more work, but... I, you know, full disclosure, I do technically work for the man, but I'm trying to make it work. Luckily, I just, I get paid to talk shit at the water cooler.

That's how I look at it, you know what I mean? Yeah. Right. Like I was saying, you have one of the better for the man jobs. Like I'm sure the man comes down, you know what I mean, and inserts technology you don't like, or says, hey, talk about this. And you're like, all right, sure, buddy.

Luckily, no, man. Luckily, we don't. You're great. Yeah, yeah. You get to use the F word. You get to do whatever you want. Oh, I can say it all. Yeah. Federalism. Yeah. Yeah. I say that shit all the time. And there's no repercussions, baby. Not a single one. The toil is some shit. But working for the man. I think quit your job, dude.

Just quit your job. Get out of it. You know? Sell toes. Sell toes? And not only cut them off. Yeah, I mean, I'll cut your toes off, but like take pictures of your feet. There's so many people out there working for the man that just want to look at your toes.

Oh, yeah. I don't know, man. My shits are... Somebody wants to see those nasty dogs, dude. That's what makes it unique. Exactly. That's what makes it gives a character. I don't know. That's what makes it unique. That's what makes it gives a character. I remember one time I got a pedicure

and the nail tech had audible reaction to like how thick this pad of dead skin was on my foot. They were like, oh. You should have got that on video. You should have been like, can you put a towel down and keep all those scrapings? Cause that's going on oldie phones. I'm telling you, I'm this close.

I'm this close to selling panties. You know what I'm saying? Like, I'm just like, who wants that bitch panties? I got all day. I had a homegirl who's on that for a minute in college and she they break up. Yeah, she she had to like wean herself off that she's like, I am I have no work ethic right now because it's the money's just coming in. It's like half the I have no work ethic right now cuz it's the money's just coming in It's like half the time. I'm not even trying to shit. I'm just selling

Panies I'm just sending them to fucking people. I live in Tennessee I'm trying to go to the Goodwill and just fucking buy a bag full of panties for three dollars and just let my dogs Chew on and be like, yeah, they're mucous. He was Selling who you gonna tell me this isn't my yeah. Yeah all sizes. Who doesn doesn't know I don't have a bop house full of bitches and panties. No What no, but what a scandal what a scandal the forensics on figuring out this isn't This right and then if you do figure it out, I'll give you your money back dog You know also you're good. That's also like one of those things that you don't want to admit that you figured it out either They're like, yeah, right. It's the perfect crime. I

did have a you know, poly I use the you know, polymerase chain reaction. That's right. That's right. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. PCR tests are shit. You know what I mean, sir? What led you to the PCR test? remember? Yeah, I chew them gently. Like, you know, when you get the paper off the cupcake, and you're like, there's cake on there. But I can't chew on that shit up like it's food. I gotta just get the flavor. I gotta activate the flavor. You feel me? Just a little little roquefort.

Okay, what happened to the podcast? This is what happens when I'm the host. Let's take a break. We'll get back. We need a white man up in here. Yeah, we do. Yeah, we do. Look, the revolution will not be on a podcast, but you picked the right

time and the wrong man will be right back. Have you ever looked into the night sky and wondered who or what was flying around up there? We've seen planes, helicopters, hot air balloons, and birds. But what if there's something else, something much more ominous, that appears under the cover of night, silent, unseen, watching. They may be right above your car late one night as you cruise down the road or look like mysterious lights hovering above your home. Drones. Or are they? We used to work drone because it was comfortable to other people.

One minute it was there and one minute it wasn't. Oh, that is beyond creepy. Do you feel like this drone was targeting you specifically? Yes, absolutely. Listen to Obscureum, Invasion of the Drones on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. you're right there with them. When I discovered acting, I've just found my calling. But a lot of that was just because I wasn't good at anything else, you know? Join the two amigos straight from Wilmer Speakeasy for a toast to good times. Don't be surprised if some special guests and good friends drop in.

And always expect lively, candid discussions, plenty of genuine moments, and lots of laughter. Remember here in this commercial, are you between the ages of 16? What's that? Oh, man. Are you between the ages of 14 and 16 years old? What do you think it takes to be a TV personality and commercials and Saturday morning shows? Listen to Dos Amigos as part of the MyCultura Podcast Network, available on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Why would you do that to me when I thought we were friends? We are friends. Los Angeles, 2021. A friendly neighbor appears out of nowhere and promises to make all my dreams come true. Let's not forget that David Blum was a professional con artist, so you didn't stand a chance. But my dreams soon turned into a nightmare. Blum generally targeted people with money. And I was not alone. He took over 100 people for over $15 million.

One of the victims was his own grandmother. I was married to David for almost 10 years. It was insane. I was married to David for almost 10 years. It was insane. I was barely functioning. And I just had this realization that he will not stop until he kills me. Getting a con artist to pay for their crimes isn't easy. Charge David Lowe!

I'm Caroline DeMore. Listen as I take down my scammer on Once Upon a Con on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Some people won't give you the real talk on drugs, but it's time we know the facts. Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs and used to make fake versions of prescription pills.

You can't see it, taste it, or smell it. Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap and the dealer might not even know. Keep yourself and others safe by knowing the real deal on fentanyl. Get the facts. Go to realdealonfentanyl.com. This message is brought to you by the Ad Council. And we're back. So like I said at the top of the show, the Democrats really let the dumb assholes alive just waltz on in because their absolute refusal to come down to Earth where the rest of us live and understand what's at stake for them people.

And also just hearing generally what is anathema to someone whose vote you're trying to court and then being like, let's just ignore that if someone puts Gaza as a reason why they are maybe questioning their support, let's just put that as like, let's just disappear that as a category. So people don't do you read that thing about one of the people who work on the campaign, like how they took concern for Gaza and just like disappeared it as a category. So it wasn't really showing up in like data as it went up. Anyway, all that to say, here we are.

I want to point to a few events that are just again, it's so infuriating, obviously not because of how evil and like just immoral everything is, but just how stupid they are at the same time. It makes it's truly like a force multiplier for outrage. Christine Ohm, the head of the Department of Homeland Security and famed young canine executioner. I should say puppy murderer. That's young canine executioner sounds like some shit they'd say on Fox News. Puppy offer.

She had an exchange with Dana Bash on CNN where they were talking about how, look, Elon Musk now has an obscene level of access to people's data. And Dana Bash was like, yeah, you know, I seem to remember a time when people were like, weren't that into the idea of unelected perverts having access to your personal info?

Let me just play this exchange because this is, again, what, what a moment from the, from department of Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, here they are talking, just going back and forth about our privacy and, and who we can and can't trust. Do you remember a time when Republicans were very careful about and worried about the government, particularly un-elected people having access to personal data? Yeah. Oh, absolutely. and worried about the government, particularly un-elected people. We can't trust the government anymore.

Having access to personal data. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. You are the government. Yes, that's what I'm saying is that the American people now are saying that we have had our personal information. You know what I can't trust? Her hairstylist. Did she dry out a bump it from 1990? She's got more hair that's not hers in her head than I can count. She must have got that from the puppies that she offed.

Oh my, make them into a wig. Her hair is hidden switches because it's up in the back. I don't know how it's about to hit the three wheel motion going down Slauson. I just, again, I just want to... Crueva De Vil? I don't know. I'm just trying to... I don't have a lot of hair shade. I can throw at the moment, but Allow me to catch up. This is this the wildest shit how again?

Reflexively the Republicans do this thing where they go. Well, obviously you can't trust the government and you're like, yeah Can you say that one more time because just let me hear that one more time from your mouth the unallocated people We can't trust the government and having mouth. The unelicted people. We can't trust the government anymore. Having access to personal data. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. You are the government.

Yes, that's what I'm saying. Yes, that's what I'm saying. No, yes. You fucking absolute, absolute zero of a person. That, again, she's like, yeah, and that's what I'm saying about the government. She goes on to now just fully panic pivot to, I don't know, I think something about Elon, let me just hear the rest of her answer.

The American people now are saying that we have had our personal information shared and out there. Now Elon Musk has access to it. Elon Musk is part of the administration that is helping us identify where we can find savings and what we can do and he has a savings like we cut in coupons and shit. Yeah, what the fuck are you talking about accessing whole agencies and like, well, he's here to help us find savings. And I don't know if you're where just Tesla's are extremely expensive. Elon Musk has never used a coupon in his life. But we're savings. We're

fighting rockets over Austin just because he farted in the afternoon. Do you know how much money that costs? Savings. Well, you know, and by that I mean, you know, preventing people in developing nations from getting, you know, things that might be like life-saving medication and things like that. Oh, saving lives. I'm sorry, savings. I'm sorry, life-saving medication. My bad. My bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry, life-saving medication. My bad, my bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

My bad. It's so funny, because it's like, basically the main time he's gotten to do this wholesale is with Twitter, which was a disaster that he has lost so much money on. Right. Like, the basic, the tangible time he has done this very thing worked so badly. Yeah.

And it's like he's he's just like like everything he touches turns to shit. It's really amazing. Well, I mean, that's like the thing. I guess we can take comfort in how predictable this is going to go, that it's just going to break everything. Yeah, I guess. I mean, because again, this man is not a genius. He just stumbled upon money. Very stupid.

And because of his ability to be completely, just like sociopathic in his pursuit of influence and things like that. Yeah, he emerges in these places that some people are like, oh, wow, he must be really smart. Meanwhile, I was like, I'm bringing a sink to this office and I'm going to break the thing and now, uh, yeah.

And now, and now we have this ever before. I didn't know how to build anything. He doesn't know things. Yeah. Unless it just involves including a back door where Russian hackers can come and get all of your data. Like he's very good at that. Right.

I he's great at that. He just leaves the door open. I suppose. Just leave it. Yeah. Not even a back door. It's like, yeah, just go like this. Like he's very good at that right? It's like yeah Like this and they won't even know just do that actually he's just kicked all the walls out he's like now we just have studs It's more of like a pagoda sort of thing. Yeah. Open plan. Come on in from any angle, honestly. There's nothing to think about. That is the favored architecture of these fucking Nazis.

It's just a big acropolis, a big open six columns and no walls. Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah. Come on in. Come on in. So again, yeah, there you are. You're you're you're you're your habit of constant like we can't trust the government. You ended up saying that shit when you were the fucking head of

Homeland Security. But again, but I do believe it when you say it, Christina, we cannot trust you at all. Um, 100%. I mean, I do like how we're sort of speed running the incompetence of the first trumpet or not incompetence, but inability to govern for people. Like I think it took until like COVID for people to be like, oh, these folks really can't do this. Sure. Sure. Yeah.

And now we're going to get there in like, you know, less than a year. Oh yeah. Yeah. I think once whatever fucking weird bird flu thing that's going to probably end up popping up because we're turning our backs on science. And then again, they'll probably just blame Joe. They'll do that, but it is like, you know, like, like it's, I don't know. It's either going to be polio or a depression or measles is already popping off right now.

You're seeing clusters of measles outbreaks because it's the fucking 19th century. But anyways- Measles is coming back. It is. But meanwhile, you have Senator Katie Britt from Alabama. I don't know if you all remember her. She was the tired ass wannabe soap opera actor

that gave that weird response to Joe Biden's last state of the union where she was in a kitch. She's like, I'm really worried. It was just like the most labored monologue we'd ever seen. Well, she loved the first few weeks of the new regime. But then I guess she also found out how the government works. And when Trump and Musk made cuts to the National Institutes of Health and how those cuts would hit Alabama, her home state pretty hard

she began to be like oh wait okay well hold on what's going on so on Friday night of last week quote the NIH announced it was cutting payments toward overhead costs for research institutions that receive its grants a policy that could leave universities with major budget gaps the Associated Press reported currently some universities received 50 percent or more of the total amount of a grant to put towards support staff and other needs. This would now be capped at 15 percent. So this is huge.

Like the people in Alabama, especially the ones that work at the universities, are like, just so you know, like the University of Alabama is the largest employer in the state. Okay, we need every single dollar we can get budget cuts like this are not wanted. Especially within a system that is like, again, so dependent on federal funds. Katie Britt is now sort of like, I don't know if you can even call this oppose the cuts, but clearly felt the pressure from constituents like to be like,

you should say something this is like you're going to completely fuck us over. She said quote, every set of hard earned taxpayer money should be spent efficient efficiently judiciously and accountably without exception. While the administration works to achieve this goal at NIH, a smart targeted approach is needed in order to not hinder life saving groundbreaking research at high achieving institutions like those in Alabama. Yeah. Then you talk about how- It's just hilarious to me because it's like every other dollar that they make that

is not coming from the government just goes to Alabama football. Right. Like roll motherfucking tight. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like, we have football, but we need people to think we do other things. Yeah. And they'll shave to Alabama in any way, shape or form. It's funny you bring up the storied football program of Alabama because their other senator,

Coach Tommy Tuberville, who acts like he has CTE without actually playing football somehow, is just telling people to relax because, quote, this is when they asked again, they're like, sir, this could affect the universities in your home state. How do you, what do you think of Elon's fucking rampage? He goes on to say quote, Elon Musk is a genius with a proven track record of making businesses more cost efficient. We should be thanking him for being willing

to serve our country in this way. Okay. Okay. I mean, the thing that is nice is that this is literally the facts don't care about your feelings crowd, right? Realizing that red States are takers. They take money from actually productive States and people and distribute. Like this is, this is like what actually, like, like they have this, like.

Myth that it's all like, you know, urban poor people of color who are taking all their money. And it is literally not true. So they are just finding out what happens. They're like, we need that money. They're like, what do you think y'all are kicking into the federal government? What industry is it thriving? That's why when people are like, well, we'll cut off funds to California. They're like, we'll stop sending you money, motherfucker.

They who's going to pay for Kentucky? Yeah, it's truly the let's go. Like, let's fucking go. Yeah, it's it's again, thank God that they, you know, gradually defunded all of the education programs in the United States, because, yeah, no one has any idea how the government works or how anything works. So they're just, again, have like, I said this last week, like what my idea of how electricity worked as a kid was it just came out of

my wall. Like, I didn't know there was a whole grid. And there was a power plant and resources that were extracted to create that just thought, yeah, just plug it in there. And then the TV comes on. It Yeah, there's more to it and that's how most people think about government spending as well they kind of see taxes as sort of like Working at a restaurant having to pull your tips and unless you're fucking your boss You're not gonna get a bigger chunk, right? Like it's just and it's like it kind of is that way But it's also like a little bit more complicated and And it's like, wait, how come the dishwasher

only got that? Oh, well, I'm a I'm a server. Well, is the dishwasher not more important than the server? Like, that's basically how our states treat each other. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, tune in next week when they figure out what pasteurization is. I think quite literally, we'll get to that story a little bit later. So again, this mission Musk is on is to again, cut wasteful about these quotes here, cut wasteful spending and help us may be more efficient than bring prices down to because

the government will be so good at doing different efficiencies that your eggs will be the price that they were when the segregation was still happening. When Brett Bayer asked Trump on Fox directly, he's like, Hey, hey, motherfucker, remember how you were like, hey, the prices are going to come down. You're going to love it. That's the whole point of all this shit. We're going to make shit affordable.

Trump predictably gave a non-answer. So here's his answer to all of the people who voted for him. Hey, when prices come down, well, get ready for this one. All goes to plan. When do you think families will be able to feel prices going down, groceries, energy, or are you kind of saying to them, hang on, inflation may get worse until it gets better? No, I think we're going to become a rich, look, we're not that rich right now.

We have $36 trillion. That's because we let all these nations take advantage of us. Same thing like 200 billion with Canada. We have 300. We have a deficit with Mexico of $350 billion. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to let that happen. What?

He said, I like how Brett Baer did the thing too, with like an elderly family member is like, and I'm going to, I'm going to give you the answer you can say as part of the question. So you don't have to just straight up say, my prices is going to go up. You said, he said, let me just, again, we heard it, you know, we're comedians, we like to listen, but I'll just, again, for the people in the back, listen, Brett Baier really, he, he did a nice lob up to, uh, uh, Trump here, but he still, he still fucked it up.

All goes to plan. When do you think families will be able to feel prices going down, groceries, energy, or are you kind of saying to them? Are you kind of saying to them, or motherfucker, say this right now, are you saying to them? Respond as such.

Hang on, inflation may get worse until it gets better. No, I think no. No, we're not rich. We got no money. We're not rich. We're not rich enough. We don't. We don't have enough money.

We're not rich enough. He first of all, he doesn't even know what a trade deficit is. You know, he's like, he's like, it's like 300. That's because we're importing more things than they are buying. That's what's going on there. It's not because like everything is unfair. I mean, more than even the first term, like the best thing I think I find to like, like confront Trump people with is like, do you think Donald Trump is smarter than you? Mm hmm. Because they're, you know, they have to like merge the hero worship with the like patent

idiocy. Yeah, yeah. And it is... Because I'm pretty sure you seem like a smart person. Yeah. But you seem like not the dumbest motherfucker that has ever existed. So are you not? To counter that though, I mean, there's also, I mean, around here, there's lots of people

that they like him because he's not smarter than right Yeah, that's what it is where they're like this I can understand what this guy is saying, which is nothing He's talking around the house, right? Yeah, you know what? I like that. Michael Scott is the president Yes. Yeah, I think it's entertaining and hilarious Yeah, and that dude's dumb as hell and I like that kind of liked that. I feel like that's what we need right now. Someone dumber than me, uh, who thinks the power just comes out of the walls. I mean, again, this would normally be some kind of gotcha moment, but let's remind ourselves that would require Trump to actually give a fuck about anything

he says, or think that hypocrisy is bad. This, these people are craving goblin freaks who just want to move all the wealth. Yeah, you're asking a lot. Well, let's let's swing the focus to Nashville, actually, where human ASCAB kid rock recently crashed. Let me just this is a long sentence. He crashed John Bon Jovi's keyboard players birthday party in Nashville at a bar that I think John Bon Jovi himself owns. This dude was absolutely pissed. As they say in the UK, just drunk as shit.

When he took the stage and was like, let's sing proud Mary in G. And you're like, oh, fuck, bro. Like when someone who's musical talent I do not respect is like now saying what key they want to sing. I'm like, oh, this is good. This shit is going to be good, baby. But I think all the beers made his like inner monologue louder, which I assume is like a constant barrage of shit like you ain't shit. They all know you have no talent. You're a fake ass blue collar larper.

Your hair looks like cooked angel hair pasta that was left out in the sun and dried out again. Yeah, and he noticed that people just weren't into his terrible karaoke. And you hate to see this, but again, maybe we do love to see it. Let's see Kid Rock in action. ["Kid Rock"]

Come on, start, get the audience going oh he's gonna clap you clap oh he missed the first clap Wait whoa whoa whoa what happened kid? If you ain't gonna clap, we gonna sing. That's how it's gonna work. First of all, the fucking ball is on this guy. He can't even clap. Did you see that? Look at that. Watch him miss this one. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what the fuck? Come on now, clap with me.

Show me how to clap, please. Nowhere near the beat. No. They have slowed that song, which is already slow, and obviously it ramps up. God bless that singer. There's no way she could slow it down anymore. No.

Like, there's like six counts between every strum of a fucking instrument happening right now. It's like, one, two, three. I listen, I love DJ screws. So this is perfect for me. Yeah. This one, this, see if this was in Houston, that might have played a little bit differently, but this is Nashville music city.

And so people, some people clapped. Other people were like, why the fuck did he just stop the song? But I still want to skip ahead because he got a baby about a minute of people kind of clapping before they were like, probably talking to each other. Like, is this motherfucker for real? He sounds like shit. And then he had a bit of i guess a meltdown hissy i don't know whatever you want to call it uh he had a bit of a jeb bush moment when they

did not please clap but here here's that moment where he's like no i'm off this shit come on y'all clap for him. Clap for him. Now, do you think he was actually upset or maybe he just forgot the next verse? And he was just like, I think he was probably actually upset. I think he also didn't realize he wasn't in his bar. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He owns a bar in downtown Nashville. Oh, he does. And he he does.

He owns a big bar and a big honky tonk in downtown Nashville. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. OK. Infamously loves to go to after he's been to other places all fucked up. And he loves to show that there and loves to take over the stage and start performing and doing things. So I would bet money that he did not realize he was not in his own bar and was very upset that he was not getting the same response that he normally gets in that state in his bar. You know what I mean? Maybe the JB, John Bon Jovi, I can't say John Bon Jovi. Did I say that right?

Why do I want to put a V in there? I want to say John Bonham. I don't know why I'm, I'm conflating my rock stars. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Speaking of which, there's apparently a really good Led Zeppelin documentary

that's about to come out. I've actually heard about that too. I need to watch that. Speaking of Bonzo. But yeah, I mean, unfortunately I have been, I've had the pleasure, question mark, squiggle of sharing space, being in the same place and space as our friend Kid Rock in various states of fucked up-edness. Yeah, Bob's a menace. I'll say that. That probably won't win me any favorites here in Nashville, but Bob's a little bit of a mess. Well, look, you can...

Not a fan. Yes, well, Lydia, you will not be drunkenly singing Proud Mary at John Bon Jovi's bar again, okay? I certainly won't, and I usually leave those spaces because your girl doesn't drink anymore. So I'm just like, when I walk in somewhere and that dude's there, I'm like, oh, this is not my party.

There's definitely going to be cocaine and a lot more drinking going on here, and I dude's there. Mike, oh, this is not my party. There is definitely going to be a lot more drinking going on here. And I need to leave. Not a substance on earth that makes that palatable. I think in any any way. But yeah, it's I do like the idea that he's so drunk. Maybe he thought he was because the way he disrespected this dude's birthday to like he just sounded like, hey, what's like, like stopping the song twice?

Like, hold on, hold on, hold on, these motherfuckers got copy and then be like, you know, fuck this. The guy the guy who's like the keyboard player is like, bro, this is not even your the fuck is this? No one even invited you. Yes, I happen to be here. He's like, this is my fucking bar. You guys get out of my fucking honky tonk. They're like, this is John Bunch. Oh, you. Oh, OK.

This isn't your bar, Bob. Call me kid. You know, this isn't your place, dude. Call me Bob Rock. Sorry, Bobby. It's not, it's not, it's not for you, honey. Yeah, it's not. Poor Bob.

But you know what, despite that, there are rumors of him and Lauren Boebert hooking up after the inauguration. So if you need a more nightmare. I would put money on that. God, just imagine the breath between those two. Oh my God. Just Bud Light cigarettes and what?

Cocaine? Like Velveeta? Cocaine and Dan Daniels. Yeah. Cocaine, yeah, they got cocaine breath. The very specific, very specific thing. They got cocaine beer breath with Velveeta. That's yeah. Yep Yeah, and I'm about to pass out and I'm so sorry to any listeners that just did just by us evoke

Yeah, I feel a little ill. Yeah, my dog started barking. They're like, bro. Let's just please bro. Like just just Just put some like core form over my dog. I don't know about this shit Okay, all right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back to talk about a thing. Again, I wasn't joking that Republicans are probably going to find out about pasteurization right after this. Have you ever looked into the night sky and wondered who or what was flying around up there? sky and wondered who or what was flying around up there. We've seen planes, helicopters, hot air balloons, and birds.

But what if there's something else, something much more ominous that appears under the cover of night, silent, unseen, watching? They may be right above your car late one night as you cruise down the road, or look like mysterious lights hovering above your home. Drones. Or are they?

We used the word drone because it was comfortable to other people. One minute it was there, one minute it wasn't. Oh, that is beyond creepy. Do you feel like this drone was targeting you specifically? Yes, absolutely. Listen to Obscurum, Invasion of the Drones, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

A friendly neighbor appears out of nowhere and promises to make all my dreams come true. Let's not forget that David Blum was a professional con artist, so you didn't stand a chance. But my dreams soon turned into a nightmare. Blum generally targeted people with money. And I was not alone.

He took over a hundred people for over $15 million. One of the victims was his own grandmother. I was married to David for almost 10 years. It was insane. I was barely functioning. And I just had this realization that he will not stop until he kills me. Getting a con artist to pay for their crimes isn't easy. Charge David Blum! I'm Caroline DeMore. Listen as I take down my scammer on Once Upon a Con on the iHeartRadio app,

If you feel different, you you drive different don't drive high It's dangerous and illegal everywhere a message from NHTSA and the ad council And we're back so should RFK junior aka Big Daddy whale Juice become the Health and Human Services Secretary? There will be there will be untold catastrophe from again, abandoning scientific principles, just not even principles, abandoning science to appease this fucking weirdo, to put it lightly.

weirdo, to put it lightly. So in addition to his vaccine and HIV denialism, RFK Jr. loves to talk about raw milk, loves some raw milk, repeatedly talked about how he's quote, champion, he will be the champion of raw milk if he's confirmed, because I'm sure that's a huge the raw milk lobby, I'd imagine so powerful. But again, drinking unpasteurized milk is not some kind of thing where they're like, man, remember the fucking good old days when like the N word was something you could like write down in civilized culture and not be ostracized for? Like, this is not this is not something like that.

This is just again, back even in the like before pasteurization took root. Milk was considered a quote perpetual threat to public health. Okay. So when tainted milk seemingly killed thousands of infants in New York, the New York Times claimed that unpasteurized milk was becoming intolerable to civilized society. You know what year that quotes from? 1858.

Okay. We were doing slave tings. Okay. During this time and they were like slavery. I don't know. The jury's still out on that one. You know, we make it a lot of money off of that. I was first seeing the banks over here in New York, but this milk, hold on now. This is a perpetual threat.

Let's not go. This is a perpetual threat. Let's not go. This is becoming intolerable. It's just so funny to use that quote in the antebellum America. Yeah, yeah. It's like, Karen, that list of things tolerable to civilized society, pretty fucked up. Yeah, 100%, 100%.

So again, this isn't just an RFK thing because raw milk came back in the early 2000s percent. So again, this isn't just an RFK thing. Because raw milk came back in the early 2000s, thanks to you, but you guessed it, the organic food revolution and a lot of liberals who are like, yeah, man, we need to go back to simpler, just fucking unpasteurized milk. But again, over the course of the last few decades, raw milk, they switch sides, okay. And you know, just like Joe Manchin, they basically exacerbated the political divide.

So dismissing pasteurization basically fell in line with sort of this overall distrust in the government and having like, what do they know about vaccines and medical guidance? And one raw milk activist said that raw milk was booming simply because quote, a lot of people don't believe everything the government says anymore. So it's just like, are they they're not going to be able to One raw milk activate said that raw milk was booming simply because quote, a lot of people don't believe everything the government says anymore. So it's just like, are they, they're saying it's bad?

Ah, well, you know, they were wrong about nine 11. So maybe I'll eat something in the milk. Ain't clean something in the milk. Ain't clean. Exactly. It's, it's at least slightly closer to Like they can't make me drink raw milk But yes, they can catch something that is transmissible to me from it so it's not like perfect but like unlike the vaccine stuff at least it's like like a

Normal human being is not gonna be caught in the immediate crossfires of this shit. Like, unfortunately, it'll, it'll most likely be the children of said freaks who they're like, they need this because that's who consumes a ton of milk or younger kids. Well, that's my whole point. Like we shouldn't even be drinking milk. We're the only species that drinks another species milk beyond childhood. Are you pouring yourself a big ass glass of milk? Are you like, no, let me take fucking 12 ounces of this white liquid to the fucking dome.

Look, I'm not gonna lie. I can't believe it's pasteurized. When I go to Japan, I wish it was thicker. When I go to Japan, I'm drinking milk like a fucking fiend. Okay. Because the fat content in whole milk in Japan, it's like drinking half and half. That's my own issue that I have. And I don't need to bring I don't need to put myself on blast right now. But best believe I will eat there's shit out there. That's like 4.5 4.5%. That shit is a thick

I feel that when I go to the UK, the way that I go crazy at yogurt, go crazy. I believe yogurt yogurt. Oh, I go crazy on yogurt there. I also do get very into their double cream to put on a scone. And we're back. And it is. It's like liquid butter. It's just like soft butter. I do want to just kind of wake you up because we do like it a little. We like a little thick dairy.

I'm just saying nobody should be drinking big old glasses of milk and certainly not raw milk. Like what? Like it's such a wild thing to get behind. I agree. Well, the guy, I do want to, I do want to put a little, uh, pushback on the, like, we're the only species that does this because I do think if other species could domesticate cows, they would drink milk.

Goats are like, bro, have you tasted our shit? Nah, bro. Drink the cow shit. That shit is fucking, that is live. I'm just saying. Yeah. And we have seen the Instagram videos where like, you know, a golden retriever nurses a duck, right? Yeah. That's right.

Or like, you know. Or Rosa Shurm did at the end of Grapes of Wrath famously. But again, in addition to the anti-science aspects of all of this raw milk, like it hasn't appealed to the right because it again evokes this past of like deregulation and supposedly like, it helps small businesses who can't afford the same pasteurization equipment as larger companies and ultimately gives you a safer, more stable product.

Anyway, so now it's become this like symbol that they're all rallying around I think mostly because to a lot of people who they don't trust like You know learned scientists were like it's not the best idea to be drinking that shit You know a lot of threat that come along with unpasteurized milk But they argue that the government shouldn't regulate raw milk again. They like it It's like they don't regulate raw cookie dough raw cookie dough or rare steaks So what's the big problem here? But again, there are many issues with this

argument because again, first of all, not everyone's eating raw cookie dough. There's still a ton of milk being consumed in America and pasteurization works. So in this is a quote from in 1938, milkborne outbreaks constituted approximately 25% of all disease outbreaks from contaminated food and water as of 2002. That figure was down to about 1%.

So that seems pretty clear scientifically that like, yeah, yeah, let's pass. Kind of in love with just stuff from the antebellum period. You know, that's right. I think so when in love with just stuff from the antebellum period. You know, that's kind of my thing. When they did stuff right. You know, we were killing Jews. We were, you know, enslaving people. Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, I agree. Here's the thing though, like no one, like we can't do shit about this. Like this is going to happen. No. 100%. Yeah. So like, I guess I'm just still just like, I don't know what like, do we just like follow like the like

EUs like health and human services like advice? Like what like the functions of government, one of them that's gonna fall away is like basic informational shit. Right. So what do we actually do about this? Someone let me know. Yeah, I mean, just, I don't know,

just look at old manuals from the turn of the century of on health. Yeah. That probably are giving us, I don't know, I'm selling snake, I'm gonna just start selling snake oil. Straight up. At this point. Yo, you don't wanna oil a snake? Yeah. It's not worth it.

What about snake milk? Y'all up for that? Raw snake milk. But I mean up for that raw snake milk? But I mean like cuz right now you're talking about like there's there's already outbreaks and dairy cows and things like that with bird flu Who knows again? There are people like people who work in like dairies to getting sick There's just there's a lot happening that we're kind of just like watching from over here that we're kind of just like watching from over here. Like, I think it might be bad, maybe. But right now, RFK has like,

he's considering hiring a special raw milk advisor. This guy, Mark McAfee, who has like a raw milk brand and you guessed it, Commie Fornia. But his products were recalled for bird flu and salmonella in 2024, okay? Like it is now. But again, McAfee claims he's like, oh, the bird flu investigation, total political witch hunt.

He said the quarantine is a result of quote, political forces that are on a quote, war path against raw milk. The salmonella outbreak sickened at least 171 people. Nearly 40% of them were younger than five years old. Oh, it's just babies. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about that.

They were barely here. It's just babies. Sounds like they're not built for it. And in a way, that's natural selection, baby. That's how I look at it. That's what I told my own baby as they got terribly ill. So again, it's just- We gotta go back to having multiple babies

so that way when some of them die because of raw milk, it's no thing. Right, right. You got like six, seven more babies. That is actually pretty politically consonant with their worldview. Yeah. Everyone needs to have like 19, 20 babies.

Yeah. Just have more babies. That's fine. And they use this backwards motivation. Well, when they inevitably perish due to the lack of regulation that keeps them safe. Can't be done. It must be much easier to grieve if you

have 14 more in the queue. Well, and now that like women don't have access to like great health care and you definitely can't get an abortion or any preventative measures like for sure you're going to have 19 to 20 babies. So feed some of them raw milk and that's the workaround to an abortion. Yes. You just get some raw milk in the household and you'll let them sort it out. Let nature sort it out. You know what I mean? And also don't worry about it. I don't know about you, but I don't know if you know this guy is Louis Pasteur,

the guy who came up with pasteurization, French. And you know, we don't like that around here. We don't need French milk. That's probably what they're gonna fucking call it soon. We don't need French pasteurized milk. You know what I mean? At least on this one, I still am kind of, I know it's the kids

But I'm just like good like I'm I'm when I drink milk. I guess I'll have French fucking milk like No, no, but I'm French know what's up with dairy. Have you had French butter? I think it's more you kidding. It's not even a French. Tell me when it comes to dairy Yeah, whatever you say I'll do whatever the French tell me when it comes to dairy. Yeah. Whatever you say, wee, wee, wee. Let's go, bro. They're yogurt right?

Who am I to ask? They're yogurt? It's just, I don't know. They're like, fuck around and find out of this. I'm just like... No, I mean, that's truly the most we can do. It's like, of all the things that are coming down the pipeline from this fucking regime, it's like, there's stuff, it's like, this affects people you know, this affects people

you directly, or it's like one of those things like, yeah, bro, let the maga fucking people eat fucking old milk, whatever, do that over there, just away from me. But I think overall, it's just part of this assault on the just the concepts around things like food safety, that, you know, not like reality. Yeah, exactly. Where I don't know, inevitably, there's going to be some kind of terrible event and we'll see what answers they come up with. And we'll see if the supporters also are lockstep in accepting that when it affects them negatively.

But I don't know, they have a good case study with COVID because that really brought people back to sciences. But hey, here we are. Well, at least now we know what to put in those like Republican gift baskets. You know what I mean? You need to give a coworker a gift basket at a holiday time. Get some Ivermint Scented or whatever that horse tranquilizer is. Get that in there.

Get you some raw milk. Put that in there. Yeah. You know what I mean? A little bow on top. Give that to a coworker. Hey, I'm looking out for you. Stay healthy.

Stay safe. I wonder if someone, I mean, maybe they would if you're like, he's like, I want you to have some of this raw milk I just procured for you. I would love for you to drink from my I don't refrigerate it. It's all good. It came from my I think it's how it had one other though it had one very rigid utter as I was trying to milk it. Not a lot came out but I'd like you to enjoy this. It is raw. All

right. Well, that's gonna do it it for us. Lydia, as I make a weird joke from Kingpin. Lydia, thank you so much for joining us. Andrews, thank you so much for joining me. Thanks for having us. Lydia, where do they find you and follow you and embrace your work? And what's the work of media that you're enjoying? Sure. So here's a few things. You can find me on the internet, LydiaPapovich.com is my website, hater Tuesday across socials. I deleted Twitter from my phone. So I can't see what you're doing, but certainly my account is still active. But yeah, you can find me, not Twitter, TikTok. Twitter's not on my phone either. I've stopped using Twitter as well, but you know, I'm around. You can find me there. A piece of media that I'm enjoying is a non-traditional piece of media, and it's a piece of media that I'm partly responsible for.

So I started a petition on change.org about three and a half weeks ago to rename the Nashville airport to the Dolly Parton International Airport. And said petition has over 5,000 signatures, which I am very proud of. If you're into Dolly Parton, if you live in the state of Tennessee, I would appreciate more Tennessee signatures on that. So that's another place you can find me in another piece of media. And there's a beautiful picture I took of Dolly Parton on there. So you can enjoy that. And you can find me in real life this weekend in Houston, Texas. I will be at the punchline in Houston, Texas. I'll be there on Thursday, the 13th for a Gallentine showcase.

So if you are a lonely gal or just love your girlfriends more than your man, and you want to come do that. And then myself and Jesus Trejo will be, uh, 14th, 15th, 16th. Uh, there is five shows. Come and see us. We'd love to see you. Jose, Jesus is very funny. I am very funny and me and Jesus would love to have a good time with you guys. So come see us at the punch line. I can pull up because I know you are in H town. Oh, I don't want to go to Houston. I want to go to pop.

Send me your food racks to pop a dog. Hey, just like to eat. Papa dog. Papa dog. There's one right by my hotel. I already looked at the man. Yeah, that punch train sauce. My God. I'm excited. I only had one burger for the first time like a year and a half ago. We have those in Tennessee. And a lot of people.

I've never. I'm like all the California haters I know who they're like, did you want to talk about in and out? Like in and out ain't that great. They're like, this shit kind of like Jack in the box. That's what someone that's what someone described. What a burger to me was like the perfect like put it on the passenger seat of your rental car food. Oh, okay.

I fully agree with that. It's just like, I like how flat and eatable it is. Yes. Yeah. I also found out that there is a Vietnamese buffet. Oh, which somebody sent me a video of. Yes. And I was like, Oh, yes.

Yes. Please. I love Vietnamese food. And there's not a lot of it here in Tennessee. So if you're telling me there's a buffet somewhere where I can just hit it and quit it. Oh, Houston. Yeah, Houston. Let's get it.

Amazing. Yeah. I had no clue there was such a Vietnamese community there. So I'm fired up about that. Yeah. The Gulf of America is a huge draw. Yeah. Because that's, yeah, Louise Hanson. Well, I mean, I'm from San Jose. We have a lot of Vietnamese about that. Yeah. The Gulf of America is a huge draw.

Well, I mean, I'm from San Jose. We have a lot of Vietnamese people there. Yeah. You might want to try, I got to imagine that pho with the Texas beef and the Vietnamese people. That's what I'm saying. Woo! That'd be fire.

That's what I'm saying. I actually had a smoked brisket pho. Oh, check it out. Oh, no. It was, I'm sorry. It was a brisket bun me that you dipped into fu. It was like a French, this shit was fucking illegal, bro. It was. All right, we got to end this podcast because I need some alone time with those thoughts.

That's, that's very sexy what you just said. Yeah, this was, was wild. Andrew, thank you so much for joining me. Now, where do people find you, follow you, and what's a work of media that you've been enjoying? Oh fucking no Racist we just did we just did a Andrew T on Blue sky, I guess I don't know. Um, we did we did a for the suboptimal our premium channel We did a watch along of fat the first fast and furious movie. Mm-hmm. I'll just say a Little more brown face than I remembered in my mind's eye. Who? Who's brown enough in the first? I haven't seen that shit in a minute.

Let's just say Jordana Brewster is awfully tan. Oh. She's awfully tan in that and it's notably less tan in subsequent movies. Right. Listen, not her fault. I'm positive it's not her fault. Yeah. Could you imagine she's like, no, darker. Yeah. Oh. I mean, there are definitely some Paul Walker lines.

What's that one? Does he call Tyrese cuh or something? Doesn't he have a line like that? Bruh. No, yeah, yeah. He says cuh. I think he says cuhs or something anyway. Yeah. In a a way that's just like, you know, but you know what? that's the it's it's the messiness of having a

like central casting Level every race is represented game right you're gonna you know, it's gonna happen. Yeah, it's gonna happen. You break a few I don't know if we ever talked about one of my other Robot chicken pitches that never not only didn't make it to air didn't make it past the pitch stage was I pitched the Fast and Furious gang go to prison and they all have to join a different gang No one wanted to touch that. And that's understandable.

I just watched the movie companion. I thought it was quite good. I really liked it. They're like, yeah, in the writers room. You're like, you don't know about the tension between Norteños and Sureños? Oh, okay. All right. Yeah.

You're unaware? I'll cut that out. What about the, okay, nevermind, nevermind. A piece of media I like is from at YellYeahPrice on Twitter, quote tweeting like a picture. Someone said, awesome t-shirt I found at the flea market today. And it says Kanye Attitude with Drake Feelings. And YellYeahPrice tweeted, it's so crazy how five years ago this just would have been a corny t-shirt that meant big ego with a fragile heart now it means you're a hitler loving pedophile so

This is the band called Pond, which is made up of people that play in Tame Impala. So like Tame Impala is obviously

Kevin Parker's band, but he has other musicians like he played, Kevin Parker can play all those instruments that you hear on the Tame Impala albums. But when he tours, he has all these other musicians play along. Kevin Parker was also a member of Pond. But anyway, this is just one of those bands that has like, you know, they're all kind of in many bands together. And I love the title. It's Zan Man, like Zan, X-A-N-M-A-N by Pond. It's got a little hard rock feel to it.
