Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 240, episode 2 of The Daily Zeitgeist, a production of iHeartRadio. Diet Coke. Also you, as yet unintroduced co-hosts. People are on the edge of their seat. This is a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness.
And it's Tuesday, June 7th, 2022.
Which of course means that it is...
National VCR Day.
Shout out to Video Cassette Recorder.
Dang.
Whatever.
Is that what VCR is standing for?
Yeah, Video Cassette Recorder.
Yeah, boom. There it is. And is standing for? Yeah, video cassette recorder.
And when I looked up, because I did a little advanced research, I went to the
website that I believe you used
to find this stuff out.
Slick son of a bitch.
I'm a fucking fucker. That's my job.
And
the description was all about how
it was just something that people
used to record things off of TVs.
And then they talked about like the follow up where like there's VCR collections.
But it seemed like I'm always looking for the sponsor behind these national days.
And I think this is but this national day is brought to you by the people who digitize like old home video recordings would be my guess.
I mean, yeah, because right when you go to how to
observe it's like and check out this website and digitize your memories yeah exactly well
forget that but yeah i love it man vcrs they were like i remember feeling so powerful when i had a
brand new blank vc like vhs tape to record some shit with. I'm like, watch me put the St. Valentine's Day Massacre
WWF pay-per-view on this fucking tape.
I'm sending it to SLP so I can get it on one tape.
The quality will be jank, Arnold.
Right, right.
It is what it is.
Well, my name is Jack O'Brien,
a.k.a. When Doritos Come Along,
Jack must dip it.
Though the flavor dust is strong,
Jack must dip it. And the people say it's wrong, Jack must dip it. Though the flavor dust is strong, Jack must dip it.
And the people say it's wrong, Jack must dip it.
That is courtesy of Johnny Dickhead.
Go easier on yourself, Johnny.
And yeah, it's in reference to a revelation,
something that slipped through my internal sensor. At the end of the last week, my internal sensor was exhausted and
I let slip that I do, in
fact, dip Doritos
in salsa.
I get messy.
Yikes.
Yikes.
I just pictured someone.
You know what happened was? As you were
saying that, I was envisioning being at a party and someone taking a Dorito and dipping it in the salsa.
And part of me goes, now you're getting the Dorito dust in the salsa.
I do this over the kitchen sink with the lights out at midnight only.
No, not yikes.
Yay.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray.
Oh, it's Miles Gray, a.K.A. Hold on, here we go
And no, I don't wear eyewear
Eyewear is unneedless
Since the doctor lasicked me
Didn't get my corneas fried
With lasers in my eyes
Just to wear glasses
Okay, shout out to Fighter of the Nightman
Yes, you hear it, you've heard it my 2010
vision oh my god i didn't tell us i was in oregon right y'all know i was in oregon i went out to the
columbia river gorge i could see so i could see so well i was all for the it has been a long time
since i've been like overwhelmed by the sight of natural beauty but this time i was like oh my god
i could i could count trees if I wanted to
from where I was standing.
It's an unreal experience
to go from glasses
to no glasses.
Was the Oregon of it all
important to the story
because here,
you can only see,
it's all fogged up.
Yeah, it's all smog.
What do I do?
I'm like, oh,
I can see there's a fire
out in Thousand Oaks.
That's not as beautiful as the Columbia River.
You've become an amateur fire spotter.
Yeah, exactly. Just get me up in a plane, coach.
Spot him from anywhere.
They're like, we just have phone lines for that.
People usually call it in.
Did Left Eye have a good left eye or a bad left eye?
That was just like a vibe.
It was just a vibe. Okay.
Because I feel like there was one point where she had glasses on that were like only the probably not corrective but i
did i did wonder if she had like it came from having a bad left eye or i mean or just like
her left eye was like like yours just could see for miles and miles and kind of see see the future yeah you know a part of me thinks there
could be a better name but i thought she could just because remember at first she had like a
like a condom right yeah and over her eye and i was like whoa okay but yeah that's good enough
for me well oh wait no i got it it was she was renamed left eye after a compliment from new
edition member michael bivins who once told her he was attracted to her because of her left eye, which was more slanted than the right eye.
OK. OK, that sounds like some low energy Michael Bivens.
Like, yo, what? Yeah, I like your left eye better. Like what? Get the fuck away from me. You like one of my eyes very specific sir that does
sound like some shit you would pick up in like a mystery mystery the pickup artist's third
unpublished book one compliment one of their eyes it adds mystery everyone's complimenting
you know both eyes you you pick one and you explain why it's better anyways got a grit
turned into a great name for the artist,
Lisa Left Eye Lopez.
Well, Miles, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat
by a brilliant comedian, writer, actor,
who's written for and appeared on Comedy Central and ABC,
his stand-up albums, The Blake Album, Stuffed Boy,
Live from the Pandemic,
all debuted at number one on iTunes and Amazon.
And his album, 12 years of voicemails from
todd glass to blake wexler charted on billboard ever heard of it please welcome no the hilarious
that the chaotic oh no blake wexler
this is blake wexler aka first we're gonna pod then we're gonna cast then we let it sight geist let
it sight wex gonna give it to you he gonna give it to you wex gonna give it to you he gonna give
it to you that was not from paul garaventa i wrote it but uh paul's around and i wish him the best
wex gonna give it to you yeah to you. He did not write that.
Yeah, I feel like no other guest do I feel more in need of some WWE entrance music where Miles and I are just talking.
And then the music just kind of breaks in.
There's a sound of shattering glass, and the music breaks in. And then everybody, like Super Producer Justin comes in, and everyone's just shouting about how they can't believe
that this music's playing and that means that
Blake Wexler's here.
But the entrance is, like, tragic.
Like, I'm being dragged by a horse
into the ring and I'm barely alive.
Oh my god.
Please, could somebody
cut the rope that's attached
to the horse?
You guys are like, oh oh no we hear his music because you know there's going to be like an insurance claim on your hands
he better be riding that horse outside the venue oh no it's blake wexler this is this is actually
really bad for us this is this is not good for our financial security as a company, as an institution.
My personal injury attorney has his own entrance music as well.
Oh, got it.
Bill Whipshakes.
Oh, no.
It's Jacob and Ronnie.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah.
I like also.
It's his partners.
In the law firm
I like how you had the grrr
Like DMX but maybe yours is just like
Like slight weeping
Oh shit
Oh no
It's the weeper
The grim weeper
The slim weeper In the building blake how are you though and all
joking aside and seriously i don't want to hear another fucking joke for the rest of this podcast
not a problem i swear to god get your shit together how are you doing i'm gonna have to
throw out all the hard copies of jokes that i had printed out uh i don't i don't read screens well
uh yeah i'm doing good i'm in uh. I'm in Charleston visiting my parents.
And we were talking before, very bizarre setup in here. I have my computer resting on piles of tools
and there's a bunk bed in my dad's office for some reason. But I think it's a chaotic,
you kind of see where the chaos is coming from. It's an inherited chaos, I guess.
Do your parents
have other roommates or they've been airbnb-ing their home while they live here yeah so to me and
my sister we split the bunk bed uh yeah we're in our 30s so they've been no it was just a bed that
they held on to and like is that your childhood bed it. And I was I was going to say the way you just said that.
I was like, that sounds ridiculous.
That's not true.
But no, it is.
It is true.
You were right.
And I think what it is is that we had a twin bed that can be used as a guest bed.
But there's just another one on top of it, if that makes sense.
So that is perfectly functional.
It's the extra one that's on top of it,
the double-decker.
Exactly.
That's weird.
That's luxury.
It is an embarrassment of riches,
to be honest.
It's true.
They hacked the second bed on top,
or it was built for that,
and they just are putting the second bed.
It was built for that,
but it would look less strange
if there was just one bed in the room.. It was built for that, but it would look less strange if there was just one bed
in the room. But it's a
bunk bed, which is, you know,
it really is tricky and complicated
over here. Maybe, you know, one day for the
grandkids, they can maybe sleep
in that bed. I don't know. Maybe I'm stupid
for keeping it, Blake. Not subtle
in the least bit. The message that it
is sending you. Yeah, maybe your father and I
are real dumb fucking idiots for thinking that could happen.
I don't know.
Are we, honey?
There's like 80 pillows with different name options on the bed as well.
It's like, oh, geez.
All right.
Now you've really crossed the line.
I'm not going to name my kid Ramson.
What is that even?
Whoa, you came really close to saying my kid's name, bro.
I was actually thinking of a guy I went to elementary school with.
Ramson?
Yeah.
Son of a Ram.
Yeah.
Ramson.
Yeah, exactly.
It's starting to make sense.
Wait, you know Ramson?
Yeah.
Ramson's good people.
Yeah.
Hard-headed, but good guy.
Yeah.
Named after the Mel Gibson Flim.
Mel Gibson Flim is how we're pronouncing that? No, that's true. Named after the Mel Gibson flim. Mel Gibson flim is how we're pronouncing it.
No, that's true.
Named after the Mel Gibson film.
Ramson.
And they just miss that.
Yeah.
Anyways, Blake, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about.
We're talking about the January 6th committee has their big, you know,
must-see TV debut on Thursday night.
Primetime, baby.
Here we go.
So we're going to talk about that.
They have hired a former president of ABC News as a consultant to help them put it together.
So I think we're good.
I think we're in good shape here.
They're fucked.
Yeah.
Wow.
So we'll talk about that.
We'll talk about just the general challenge of trying to to reach humans in these United States. We're going to talk about how the Republicans who were involved in the coup seem to be doing these days. about the only thing that was on anyone's mind this weekend, the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.
Oh.
Yeah.
70 years.
Heck yeah.
Doing whatever it is she does.
But there was a hologram-ish thing.
People know it as a hologram.
Apparently, it's not technically a hologram.
Hologram's generous for the technology that was used.
Yeah, it's technology from the 1600s, I believe. All of that, plenty more. But first, Blake, what is something from your search
history? Something from my search history is actually something you guys can search later.
It was I had a great joke a few minutes ago where I said my bed was two twin beds stacked on top of
each other and it was a quadruplet bed. So I do want to say you can Google that later. That's a joke that I did
a few minutes ago. And if you want to relive it again, you can partake at home. But my own Google
search is Floyd Landis is a funny one from my recent search history where I've become obsessed
with him. And if you don't know who he is he was the basically
lance armstrong's second you know the second best cyclist during that era and then snitched on him
for taking steroids and then took was taking steroids himself and then also got booted
cycling and it's there's nothing i like more than a a snitch and a hypocrite
named floyd is sick also and a hairline also that like base there's no space on the forehead
between eyebrow and hairline like the man is gifted it's low yeah it is real low and it's
and getting lower by the second it's and gravity's pulling it down. But I have this bit now where I keep sending pictures of Floyd Landis to
people when,
you know,
like just randomly where it started from.
My fiance's uncle is a big fitness guy and he like swam in the Olympics for
Israel.
Just a huge athlete.
He's in his fifties and he loves great guy,
but loves to brag about how athletic he is.
He showed me on his Strava app
he lives at Aspen
and it said the top 10
hikers on this hike in Aspen.
And he goes, he was number
four. And then he goes,
look at number seven. And it was Lance
Armstrong. And to
fuck with him, I was like,
that's really, really cool he's you know
lance was no floyd landis and the guy snapped and he goes are you fucking kidding me like he couldn't
handle the floyd landis comp so now i'm obsessed with floyd and that was my that's my google search
that lets you know i'm a cyclist myself so as i just kind of look into that beef i'm like what
was going on here and i just i just
googled someone like there's a thing is like what does like lance armstrong think of floyd landis
and here's a clip from that 30 for 30 that came up recently hi could be worse i could be floyd
landis what living in leadville or waking up a piece of shit every day
uh-huh so this is not a guy to let a grudge go this is a documentary where he's trying to like
redeem himself i think it was the idea and be like hey i'm a human too and but he openly holds
a grudge against the guy who like made his whole operation fall apart, which is kind of funny.
And everybody else.
He's just an asshole,
which was almost refreshing in a way
where, oh, this guy can't even
for an hour 45 minutes
with other interviews pretend to be a good
well-balanced human being.
Like Michael Jordan managed.
Michael Jordan made it
notoriously one of the hardest humans to get along with.
And he actually even cried and made us be like, oh, wow.
I kind of get the guy who has no mood except victory.
Yes.
Guy couldn't even come in top five on the Aspen pick.
Yeah.
Shut up, Lance.
Fucking Herb.
Get out of here.. Get out of here.
Get him out of here.
It does feel like the sort of thing that he would spend up to and maybe even over a million dollars to have suppressed.
The fact that he came in seventh on that hike.
Oh, 100%.
Strava is in the middle of a huge lawsuit right now.
Now, I'm almost curious.
Can you, by account, look at all the hikes Lance Armstrong does
and then go on a mission to best him
at every single place he goes?
Is coming in a place on a hike actually a thing
or is this something that your friend
or the person in question made up and we're all just like being like, yeah, no, that sounds about right.
Because Lance Armstrong is in bike races where they keep track of who comes in what place.
Listen here, nephew.
Let me show you my app that shows you how brolic my hiking skills are.
You're like, why are you opening photos?
You see this incline?
Do you see this incline you do you see this incline right here this looks like a terribly
photoshopped still of a made-up app you made nope look at that your old rock is printed on a cracker
there's no such hike as the spongos
you see that stone right here that's only found found at 20,000 feet above sea level,
close up of the stone.
It's like, I don't know if this is an accident.
And therefore, I came in fourth and landed on the front.
Yes, yes.
You're like, yeah, look at this hike I did casually.
I did a 42,000 elevation hike in about 14 minutes.
It's like, but Uncle, Mount Everest is like 29,000 feet.
Just shut up, Blake.
I was lightheaded.
What is something you think is overrated, Blake?
Overrated, like going nuts with vacation eating,
like when you're on vacation.
Because in the past, I've always thought,
okay, I'm on vacation.
This is the time to unwind and do whatever.
But even in the moment, it makes me not feel good.
Like not even thinking about after vacation,
you know, when you're trying to rebuild
your daily schedule again and eat how you normally eat.
In the moment, I'm like, I am too full to move.
I like can't do these activities that I wanted to do.
My stop.
Competitive hiking.
I can't get up this hill in the uh in the time that doesn't exist
on a level that it cannot be judged but yeah i i think i realized i'd rather go a little
little crazy with food but not so great so like maybe change my normal eating like an animal
you know meter 20 instead of 60 more than i usually yeah what are we talking here what's
your eating style we talking michael phelps you know on race day like when he's when he's bulking
or are we just talking about like what in your mind what what what is what is the handbrake
that you release that i'm talking checks mix i'm talking bro you just said i'm going on vacation i'm eating chex mix like a fucking
madman what if i was next to the point of discomfort yeah the inside of my mouth completely
raw from the chex mix i'm clearly like very insecure about my weight and i brought this
up to like make myself seem like yeah no sometimes i'll have three apples on vacation. I'm a wild man. Yeah, I'll go nuts.
We're just a half will do.
And I usually just eat the core from one whole.
But no, I'll go.
So I'll go like cheese steak and a half, you know, like, for instance, my mom is a great cook.
And she's like, Blakey, I made an extra cheese steak for you.
And I'm like, oh, I'll eat that.
But it's like you don't.
One is more than enough.
Yeah.
But then you're like, I'm not where I don't pay rent here so I can eat twice the sandwiches.
And then it's a mess.
I don't feel well.
I can't work out.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Don't do that.
Well, I think it's OK to temper it back a little bit.
When I'm like whenever I go somewhere, if there's fried food anywhere,
I'll have just eaten a meal and I'll go to another place
and I'm like, well, hold on. They got these fried
cheese curds. Let me try these out.
And then Her Majesty will be like, you just fucking
ate. And I'm like, I know, but I have to
try these because
I am high.
I'm sorry.
Just because you can
doesn't mean you should. it's like no absolutely not
technically have room in my stomach where i'm not gonna puke if i eat this yeah and more meals in
general i did that same thing yesterday i was like oh i'll have wings yeah it's a good thing to bring
to say out loud too when you're asking for a second helping is i'm not gonna puke if i eat this
yes so yeah that's where the bar is wait
so then do you just want the check sir no no I'm good I'm just telling you I'm not gonna puke if I
know you're looking at me like you know all the sweat that's dripping down my nose might mean
that I'm gonna puke I know my body it's a temple I know it's 59 degrees in here right now, but I am soaking.
Man, can you turn the air on?
It's like there's ice coming out of the vents right now.
You are in our walk-in freezer, sir.
This is as cold as we can possibly make it. I don't know how much more we can accommodate a customer who just ordered another order of wings,
and now you're demanding to eat in our walk-in, but fine.
This is a different flavor.
It's a different sauce, so it might as well be a different food.
It's just got the rub.
So I was like, I'm good.
I'm good.
Right.
I went to a Dodgers game for the first time
in like four, five years maybe.
Oh, wow.
Over the weekend
and witnessed people putting away
full batter's helmets full of nachos.
Nachos, yeah.
Those helmets are big too, boy.
They fit on the head they're like i've
seen you know like i i grew up uh when dairy queen would do the like soft serve in a batter's helmet
but the batter's helmet was the size of a like coffee cup tiny bowl yeah yeah wait you had dairy
queen at your ballparks we had in la it was tcby i remember was the first no it was a
national it was a national thing that happened probably when i was like five or six might have
been before you were even born where they were like serving soft serve in little batter's helmets
across the nation i believe unless i'm you know mandela affected that, in which case, good luck, this version of reality, because that's going to take over like wildfire.
And that queen, the Dairy Queen, no holograms.
No holograms.
Always in person.
Yes, always.
And has aged significantly better.
Let's take a quick break.
We'll be right back to talk about what's underrated.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports,
where we live at the intersection of sports and culture.
Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry,
Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese.
I know I'll go down in history.
People are talking about women's basketball
just because of one single game.
Every great player needs a foil.
I ain't really near them boys.
I just come here to play basketball every single day
and that's what I focus on.
From college to the pros,
Clark and Reese have changed the way
we consume women's sports.
Angel Reese is a joy to watch.
She is unapologetically black.
I love her.
What exactly ignited this fire?
Why has it been so good for the game?
And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained?
This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better.
This new season will cover all things sports and culture.

like you always do.
One session.
24 hours.
BPM 110.
120.
She's terrified.
Should we wake her up?
Absolutely not.
What was that?
You didn't figure it out?
I think I need to hear you say it.
That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine
is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago.
We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

I don't think we said that at all.
My wish is going to come true.
My wish is going to come true, though.
Sorry, I just drove by a cemetery.
So I would say under.
Did you guys do that when you were kids?
Hold your breath when you drove by a cemetery.
Was that a thing? No, just the tunnels just the tunnels which yeah we we did both and i have
for some reason just this is like a good it was a good lesson for me like how dumb shit gets passed
down through the generations is like you just run out of things to talk about with your kids and so
i have not only did i do that growing up, and then like after my childhood,
be like, that was the dumbest thing.
Why would my parents have like told me to hold my breath?
And then sure enough, like we're driving by a cemetery
and I'm like, anything to prevent these kids
from asking me questions about death?
You know, if you hold your breath for whatever,
you get a free something.
Wait, what is that?
Oh, that's just a park with a bunch of rocks in the same shape lined up like that.
Just hold your breath now.
That's a climbing wall that toppled over.
And that's what we're looking at right now.
Why are there names on it for the best climbers?
Dad, you're drifting out of the lane.
Can you start breathing again please
yeah but under underrated kind of has to uh kind of go with what we were talking about before in
terms of like temperature changes but bringing a change of clothes somewhere as uh is so underrated
in that maybe there's a vibe change where it's later in the night, you know,
maybe you're dressed up for an event and then you can slip into something casual,
you know,
and also it's like accident proof where if you spill something on yourself
later in the night,
it's like,
Oh,
I can change.
I can,
you know,
you don't have to worry about these ice cream helmets and the drippings at
Dodgers games,
or that's where I always bring three jerseys.
Honey, put the helmet on when you're finished
with the food at least.
It looks cool. At least they know
that I got it at the ballpark just now.
Done! And then you have to shout
done and then slam it on your head.
On your fucking head!
And then you're not done. Not even close.
Nacho cheese all over your shoulders.
You're like, gah! It's a more upsetting version of the wave where you just, throughout the whole ballpark, And then you're not done. Not even close. Nacho cheese all over your shoulders.
It's a more aesthetic version of the wave where you just throughout the whole ballpark, you just hear Don Don Don Don Don. And cheese splatter.
But yeah.
And it also, you know, say the temperature changes.
You're in L.A.
That's a big thing where when I would go to Dodgers games, you'd get there.
It would be 80 degrees.
And then by the seventh inning, it you know like 59 degrees and you would have to yeah so always I would always bring
like uh some jeans or some pants some breakaway pants I could pull over my shorts and a little
little hoodie over there so and then do you do you keep them like tied around your neck like a
tennis sweater?
What are you doing with those jeans when you're not wearing them?
I'm an overbearing father.
I would bring a plastic bag or a disposable bag.
Wow.
Not a reusable, unfortunately.
I know it's not good for the environment. But I would bring one where I could just walk away clean out of the arena without.
Yeah.
It's like this.
I'm out, folks.
My ship's over.
I'm your dealer.
I'm out.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Okay.
I got real nervous walking through the metal detector at Dodger Stadium for no reason.
I don't have anything, but it's just like.
You don't got anything on you, man?
I had gum in one of my pockets
and they were like, take all your
metal things, your phone, anything
out of your pocket. Went through the thing
and I think I was like
fiddling with the gum in my pocket just because
I was like, oh shit. Nervous.
Didn't take it all out. And
a cop stopped me and really frisked
me down and was like, you didn't take everything out of your pocket that cop stopped me and like really frisked me down and was like you
didn't take everything out of your pocket that's why i'm giving you a hard time i was like they
said everything metal were you wearing a mask or something did you not know you were a white man
i know i i might have been wearing a mask but i was with my dad so i don't know like he's like
right down the middle of like, you know, old.
You must have been fiddling boy in that pocket.
Were you doing that thing like Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible?
You're like red, green together.
You're like, you know, this guy's a problem.
This guy thinks he's got that Ethan Hunt gum.
Whenever I get stopped at at tsa i always make
a big show i turn around to the rest of the line i go a fan and then when they first meet i try to
hand them a pen but yeah no it's i i hear you it's stressful i hear you yeah when they put you in
that holding room for another three hours for my similar times uh all right let me guess you heard the todd glass album too
huh all right all right guys let me see if i can get todd on facetime for you it's not even for me
it's for my friend i have his number yeah hold on hold on i would love if that really was the
case and you're like no i am a fan oh really of todd glass right oh what do you. Oh. My self-esteem is so low, I don't care.
Yeah, of course.
No, I'll put you in touch.
Yeah.
And why do you choose to help you out, man?
Like, I'm cooler than you.
What?
Yeah, no, it's true.
It's true.
It's your biggest hater who works at TSA who's been following you because of his jealousy
of your relationship with Todd Glass.
It writes itself, this story.
It does.
All right.
I'd love to talk about this all day, folks.
But we got to get to the big television event of the week.
I'm talking, of course, about the House Committee on January 6th.
They're going to be they've hired James Goldston, formerly president of ABC News.
According to Axios, a master documentary storyteller oh shit so you
got like oscars uh no he was the president or you know one of the producers on that martin
special where he interviews michael jackson okay so what else the only thing i was really able to
find i don't know if i was like it was a very cursed research but i did notice like you know axios likes to link off to things when they make a big claim they
weren't linking off to anything when they said that he he basically is a master at like getting
people to watch soft news like good morning america with like shot to number one when he
took that over a nightline wasn't canceled immediately when he
took that over which was apparently what people thought was going to happen because he went from
nightline with ted cobble telling one story a night like a piece of in-depth news to when he
took over it became more like bite-sized chunks of like different stories that could be on like one of those like murder things,
like kind of a true crime news type vibe.
But in both cases, it seems like he has a working knowledge of the American public TV viewing habits.
So I don't know.
But they're like, this is they're going to be televising like their findings.
They're going to be it's supposed to be hearing.
So they're going to presumably have some testimony and some prerecorded bits.
It's like it sounds like a fucking award show.
Right.
Some live testimony.
Then we're going to throw to the video package of Ivanka and Jared.
Totally self-incriminating.
You won't believe what is going to come out of their
mouths. That's like how
I feel like all the write-ups about this
have been written like it's
like the Super Bowl of fuckery.
Like, get ready for the halftime
show. We got Benny Thompson
ripping into
Louie Gobert type of shit.
You're right. The vernacular there.
That is true. It's like it's their night
in prime time it's you know what is this the night where all the stars come out to shine
and tell us what actually happened it i mean it seems like like a lot of the stuff people know
is pretty damning already at this point but yeah i'm right and it's probably to be able to lay the
groundwork like because like most people who saw what happened were like, okay, and right, like people who are planning this will now see consequences that rather than like the people with the Viking helmets asking for kale in prison.
get lined up for some accountability and that seems like maybe this whole point is just to lay it all out so someone be like damn they did that shit but yeah i feel like most people who saw it
were like damn they're doing that shit it's how we saw it play out so i guess this is probably
like this feel part of it is like well that way we can really help that like 40 of america or that 33 of america that's like all in on the trump
you know big lie stuff that's like it's undeniable at this point but you don't need to convince them
they're not going to be convinced right yeah it i don't know it seems like like liz cheney saying
do you believe uh somebody asked her do you believe it was a conspiracy she said i do it is extremely
broad it's extremely well organized it's really chilling so i mean that's still and it's still active i
think is what you went on to say yeah yeah yeah i i'm i think it'll be really interesting to see
some like this kind of shit that they have like testimony hearing it from people's mouths and like
all these things where you know again we've we there's a there's
plenty that we could infer from what we saw but you know to try and begin to say like and this
is this person these the calls that were made this is what donald trump said i'm sure will just make
us feel more safe i hope right yeah isn't that the point of this? This is a silly question, but is Fox going to air this?
They're going to air the rebuttal.
They already have the conservative politicians lined up to air the rebuttal.
So at least they're treating it like it's an event.
At least they're responding to it and that it exists.
They're acknowledging its existence.
That's a start.
There is going to be massive counter-programming
because they know all of the regular news channels are going to cover it and they're like well we
can't not say it and have our like our viewers start straying off to cnn to be like what did
ivanka say and then she's like no no no this is what no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, i'm in there's just like one other thing i want to talk about with like the the the tv
rollout of this hearing like you know last week we were talking about the like these
pieces coming out of the white house or interviews with people in the white house and aids who are
saying oh man we're just joe biden is so like frustrated that he can't get the people to see
what what he is doing what could he possibly do? And these articles kind of go on this week
to sort of talk about the communication gap that's happening,
where they're trying to say,
the big issue is to get the people to know what we are doing,
because right now the only thing that's dominating is what we aren't doing.
And a few of these things really underline a very important fact,
which is they have people in their 70s and 80s who are used to this very normal method of, well, ring up ABC.
And then they play that on TV.
And everyone who watches the TV goes, do you see what the TV said?
It says Joe Biden's doing this thing.
That's cool, huh?
And that worked decades ago.
But now, that's why they have BTS at the White House.
Because they're like, we have to find a way to get through this shit somehow.
What do we do?
And again, the whole issue here is that you have these septuagenarians trying to figure out how millennial
and gen z voters think and i can't think of putting someone in a worse like challenge in their
professional life be like okay someone in their 70s convince millennials and gen z that you know
what is even occurring in the world because i feel like we have to explain so much shit to our
parents like basic shit like my parents are smart enough to know so much shit to our parents, like basic shit.
Like my parents are smart enough to know like, oh yeah, like shit's bad, like this, that,
and the other.
There's a lot of things that they don't understand like culturally, like with younger people,
how we think about things or what our actual goals and aims are.
And just thinking of these people scratching their heads being like, what are we going
to do?
I, I, my heart really goes out to them and I'm like, yeah, this is why it's all, I think we're seeing it all kind of come together at once.
But anyway.
Come apart at once.
I feel like.
Yeah.
I mean, if, if they were responsive to younger people and like advisors and actually, I just feel like that, that is not this generation's kind of approach to things.
And they're just going to they're going to be patronizing a shit.
Like, honestly, I feel like the most understanding I feel like I've got from someone who was in their 70s and like isn't in my family was like when talking about like, you know, generational struggles and things.
Would they be like, yeah, I read a lot about what's happening with millennials and Generation Z. And it just it seems like things are a lot a lot harder for
younger people. And that's the best thing to do is seems. And those are the people who are now
being like, how do we tell them we know what's going on? It's like it's yeah, it's a bit of a
tough spot for you. Did you print those Generation Zeitgeist shirts that you told me about that you guys were going to put out and sell?
It was going to say Gen Z and then Zeitgeist was going to be very small.
Yeah, exactly.
Did you print them?
No, I tried.
We're actually working on a large, broad campaign with a bunch of advertising on Fox News next to the catheter ads for our
Generation Zeitgeist shirts. And we feel like they're going to sell like hotcakes,
which Gen Z also loves. Well, you have a customer.
Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture.
Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese.
I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game.
Every great player needs a foil.
I ain't really in here.
I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on.
From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports.
Angel Reese is a joy to watch.
She is unapologetically black.
I love her.
What exactly ignited this fire?
Why has it been so good for the game?
And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained?
This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better.
This new season will cover all things sports and culture.
Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke.
I've been thinking about you.
I want you back in my life.
It's too late for that.
I have a proposal for you.
Come up here and document my project.
All you need to do is record everything like you always do.
One session, 24 hours.
BPM 110.
120.
She's terrified.
Should we wake her up?
Absolutely not.
What was that?
You didn't figure it out?
I think I need to hear you say it.
That was live audio of a woman's nightmare.
This machine is approved and everything?
You're allowed to be doing this?
We passed the review board a year ago.
We're not hurting people.
There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.
They're just dreams.
Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller
from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm.
Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
And so, I mean, I am curious to know, like, a couple weeks ago, one week ago, time doesn't really, my brain doesn't work like that anymore where i can understand how much time
has passed in a given since a given thing has happened but between one year and one week ago
all of the trump lackeys who who were just generally like making a jerk offhand motion
in the direction of the january 6th committee were subpoenaed. And that seemed like it was like, all right, all right, asshole.
We're at no more.
Mr. Nice guy.
Here we go.
We got you right where we want you.
Like, so is that what this is?
Are we going to like now hear from them at this primetime event or what are they up to?
So, you know, I don't know who's going to I haven't seen fully who is going to speak and whose testimony that they're going to air.
But they should issue like one of those things like the Coachella like set list where it has like all the names, like the big ones up top and then like it gets lower and lower.
Yeah, right.
Like, oh, Trump's headlining.
And it's like Kanye's like, but he wanted us, He wanted them to apologize to Travis Scott or he wouldn't perform.
has played his cards like like all the other republicans who have been subpoenaed which is like just deny everything keep your head low and just like you know fucking ignore it and like
you're saying we're all looking at this like what is the fucking point of subpoena power if they just
like look at it fart on it and then carry on with their day and it's just like i thought this was as
serious as you're telling us it is. So things have taken a turn.
I don't know what it all means, but the appearance is certainly different because Peter Navarro actually was indicted and arrested by the FBI and put in a fucking cell over the weekend as he tried to fly from D.C. to Tennessee because he was, again, ignoring a subpoena.
And if you recall, this guy had the most intense like i'm a white guy
i can get away with anything energy that we've seen in a while like he talked about his plan to
rat fuck the election in his book there's like a whole section called like the green bay sweep
that he's talking about and then the green bay sweep yes yes he's he's that confident about talking about
like how he could get sham electors in wisconsin etc to try and swing the swing the votes wow
that's in his book that he was selling then he would also go on msnbc and just like literally
describe the coup i'm pretty sure we covered this when he first said it because it was
so unbelievable he was talking to ari melber basically said like yeah and then we get that
we use the power of like the votes that we have in congress to overturn the ruling and then we can
declare president trump the president i'm just going to play you this part where ari melber is
like hold on what and just you can see peter navarro being like what like right after he
describes him saying you're talking about a coup, sir.
Let's go this back and forth, sir. Then you will use the incumbent losing party's power.
That was the Republican Party that was losing power to overtake and reverse that outcome.
Do you realize you are describing a coup?
No, I totally reject many of your premises there.
First of all, the election was still in doubt and would be until it was certified.
Second, the idea that secretaries of state, particularly in Michigan and Pennsylvania, were like innocent parties.
I mean, Jocelyn Benson.
So he just goes on and you can tell from his body
language he's like selling you bullshit oh yeah he's also standing which is like unnerving for
some reason i don't think i've ever seen that before he always stands it's upsetting as someone
standing right now it is a bummer uh to look at using his whole body yeah that was his energy
when he was like this is the the plan to overthrow the government.
So then I just want to check on his energy.
Let me see what it was like after the feds pulled up and locked you up.
How are you talking now?
Are you still big time?
Instead of coming to my door where I live, which, by the the way is right next to the FBI. Instead of calling me
and say, hey, we need you down at court. We've got a warrant for you. I would have gladly come.
What did they do? They intercepted me getting on the plane. And then they put me in handcuffs.
They bring me here. They put me in leg irons. They stick me in a cell. By the way, just historical note. I was in John Hinckley's cell. They seem to think that that was like an important historical note. Okay. That's punitive. That what they did to me today violated the constitution.
my man what the fuck did you want they'd be like hey uh it's the fbi like oh my god you want to come how can we invite you over for jail real quick also isn't that what the subpoena is that
he was ignoring isn't that the one where i think you're inviting them down well that's just that's
my right to refuse it no it's well no that's this this is the whole point man you're moving into the
you were in the fuck around stage and now you're in the find out stage and you're doing this thing like, I can't believe what they're doing.
You know, he, you could tell how, you can tell his hair's like not done.
He's frazzled.
And this clearly has sent a lot of shockwaves through like the GOPp because a lot of people were like i thought we
could do that but yeah it was truly on some i'm sorry sir i didn't know i couldn't do that um
and trump for example after this happened he came out with a a fucking quote uh just like a
quotable for people to just to know where he was uh where he stood on all of this. He goes on to say, quote,
our great trade genius, Professor Peter Navarro,
Professor, shut up, fool,
was just handcuffed, shackled, and put in jail
while the lowlifes of Antifa and BLM
are allowed to rip off the public,
roam free on the streets, kill people,
and destroy our once great cities,
all run by Democrats, in a parenthetical.
Okay, not only that you had
fucking louis gomert the the the least smart person in dc until maybe hersel walker ends up
winning tools in the drawer yeah louis gomert is just out here saying the best shit this is
this is louis gomert again another person who's got a
little mixed up a little cool behavior this is him talking about oh this is unbelievable what's
happening peter navarro got arrested for defying a subpoena this is what he has to say it actually
puts an exclamation point on the fact that we have a two tier justice system.
If you're a Republican, you can't even lie to Congress or lie to an FBI agent or they're coming after you.
They're going to bury you. They're going to put you in the D.C. jail and terrorize and torture you and not live up to the Constitution there.
jail and terrorize and torture you and not live up to the constitution there uh however this comes on the heels of suceman being acquitted okay anyway go on to say you can't even lie to congress
or lie to an fbi agent are they're coming after you that's john hinkley's ghost tickled that poor man in that cell with his irons.
What is going on?
That's amazing.
You can't even lie anymore.
There's a two-tiered justice system.
True.
Yeah, no shit.
And his example is when you're a GOP.
I mean, that is a great illustration that a Republican politician believes that it's unjust that they can't even lie to Congress.
There's a great illustration of just how two tiered the justice system is that they don't even like have a concept of what a justice system does to.
Wow.
That's yeah, I guess there is.
I mean, more than two tiers, but I mean what not what you thought man yeah it's probably it probably tense
at the gomert dinner table when he's he's out here saying things like you can't even lie to
fuck the fbi anymore without shit happening to you i can't even cheat on my goddamn wife anymore
without that sack of bricks open in its mouth although Although actually, Louie Gohmert has never cheated on his wife
or gotten a speeding ticket
or smoked a cigarette in his life,
according to the fucking...
Oh, wait, no, that was Mo Brooks.
That's Mo Brooks, man.
Louie Gohmert proudly cheats on his wife.
Yeah.
Louie Gohmert,
the congressman's side piece,
as he's known.
All right, we should talk about
the Queen's platinum jubes.
Finally.
Because it happened over the weekend.
70 years of excellence by her majesty.
Just, you know, going out there, doing Queen stuff.
Queen shit.
Yeah, thank you.
Queen shit.
Queen shit.
Yeah. Thank you. Queen shit. Queen shit. Yeah.
So last week she canceled one of the appearances at the service due to some discomfort, presumably a side effect of being roughly a thousand years old.
And so for that part of the Jubilee, they replaced her with a digital image inside of an antique golden carriage.
It's not the highest of quality digital images.
It does look like they've just stuck a tiny TV in there.
I don't know if seeing it live made it look more three-dimensional, but people,
I mean, this created a whole bunch of maybe our dumbest conspiracy theories of the weekend.
We haven't done the official count, but possibly the dumbest ones from the past five days because people were like, they were trying to fool us.
What more do you need to see to understand that she's dead, first of all,
that they're trying to control us with holograms,
that they're trying to get us ready for a future where we are not allowed to die
and instead our consciousness is uploaded into a
universe where we are hologram work slaves like do i mean do i even need to like spell this out for
you like how you lost me with the first bit but you got me with the second one you hung around
and he yeah you're glad you did never ending uh mental labors for the
digital economy okay wait so they're trying to but did they did the did the palace say like
yo you know we're just going to be projecting she's not in there but we want it was a it was
a projection from her coronation in 1953 right it's clear that's not if it was if it was intended as a deception like being 70 years
off seems like a pretty major fuck up but that's how like the conspiracy brain people think they
go oh my god they think they could get that one past me yeah that's her as a fucking kid
she's dead that's what's happened. Alright.
The hologram was so bad, it looked like one of those
old baseball cards you would get
when if you turned it slightly,
it was like, has the bat swung it?
Has the bat swung it? It was like one of those
things. Yeah, where it was also
that prismic,
it was cut like those lines.
Yeah, exactly. I remember I would always scratch
him as a kid. I was about to say the same same thing but i didn't want to come off as weird no i was doing the
same thing and i was gonna say that looking at that carriage window i'm like it's one of those
scratchy hologram cards i would have been scratching on the window like let me feel
these ridges in here this ain't no real boy yeah i remember if you said annoy the
fuck out of my parents do you guys remember the the one where Jordan was Sportsman of the Year
and they did a hologram of just him on the cover of Sports Illustrated?
Uh-uh.
Oh, man.
That was my first real encounter with hologram technology.
With that technology.
And that's when I knew the New World Order was coming for me.
Okay.
Good to know.
Sorry, but we were saying about the Queen.
The real New World Order.
Sorry.
But first of all, these aren't holograms these are fucking videos yeah it's just a stage illusion called uh what is it like pepper's ghosts or something yeah named for john pepper a british
uh peppa peppa pig is how some people pronounce it but salt and peppa's ghosts it's
the same thing they use for tupac it's like a stage thing that just is i i don't know exactly
how they do it but it's been around since the 16th century and oh what yeah really yeah oh shit
so about as old as that gold cart she rode in on. Right. Yes. That thing is so, I'm sorry, I've never seen something more opulent.
And why would I?
Because it's like the carriage that would, you know, carry the monarch of the United Kingdom.
Right.
The British Empire in it.
But that much gold, family?
What the fuck?
It's so much gold.
It's gotta be all gold.
Like, whenever you see them at, like, any kind of official thing and they sit in their chairs and shit and they're like that's all gold i'm like right dollars real real but we need something
the size of an suv that's also all gold yeah by horses that are also all gold it resembles what
are those old trees that you know like they're 700 years old and their roots are like above ground and like you know kind of snaking through but dipped in gold right yeah it's also just i mean this is
maybe the most predictable thing about humanity is that we don't deal well with death that we
like just cannot because you know the thing that is hard to wrap your mind around. The human brain is not capable, really.
Especially in Western culture.
Yeah, Western culture, for sure.
And so, I mean, you know, the Beatles, like, everybody was, they picked the one guy who was going to survive into his 90s.
And they were like, that dude's actually dead.
Sorry.
He died when he was 26 in a car accident.
They've been trying to fool you.
Like, Elvis was dead. They couldn't believe he was dead tupac same thing like we just can't we can't deal with it like it's gonna keep happening i think there's some stuff in the
bible about someone who was supposedly dead and then but yeah it's where that but that
but that sneaky guy managed to pull up in a cave a couple days later, huh?
Huh.
I think Lazarus was faking it, though.
Oh, for sure.
He wasn't dead.
He was sleeping.
Have you met Lazarus?
Yeah, Lazarus is always like, I'm dead.
It's like, no, you're not Lazarus.
You went to somebody to resurrect you, and then all you can talk about is how Jesus resurrected you.
Had a nut of Laz.
When you were playing dead as a kid, did you ever go
undead?
That was how you signaled to your friends that you were dead
when you were playing dead.
How are we playing dead? Is this like a cops and robbers
kind of thing? Like we're shooting finger guns at each other
and you're like, ah, I'm dead.
Yeah.
That was like an official shorthand with me and
my friends and my little sister.
Or like if it was tag 2 or something, like, no, I'm dead i'm dead like stop fucking with me like i'm not a participant i'm
dead in the game yeah yeah i'd start digging my own grave which bummed everybody out in the middle
yeah guys i'm dead in 10 minutes actually can you get a garden hose i feel like we could loosen
this soil up it's real dry i think it'd be easier to dig if I just kind of got a little bit wetter.
Yeah, you might as well bury me because I'm dead.
So actually, are you are you certified to use that backhoe I saw in your yard?
Or is that just your dad can use that?
Because that would actually we could do two scoops and I'm out.
It's not funny playing this game with you anymore.
We're not enjoying this.
It's heavy machinery operators.
They're like, I'm certified. I could use it it i don't know if your dad's cool with it i can show him my paperwork but
you know i get it you don't need job site accidents yeah have you guys ever like being
convinced by that like felt that like the temptation to be like i think that person
faked their own death like i feel like I was kind of...
The Tupac thing kind of got me there for a little while.
Yeah, I was 13.
I was real.
Yeah.
And also that beginning part in the Machiavelli album,
it said,
Strixxar Tupac.
And you're like,
wait, what the fuck?
What the...
You remember that?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
That was like OG LA conspiracy theory shit,
where they're like,
man, if you listen to the Mach your macaveli album it's
fucking rife with messages and shit yeah to your point it is always this is the first one where it
was an old person where it's always someone who died prematurely or died young you know we're
here if she could just be like that's she's old you know it's a very strange thing to pick up on but here
i think any famous person it's that's what your thought is because like you said it's hard to
accept that and wrap your mind around it so why not have an easy explanation that makes everybody
happier i think everyone faked their own death i think everyone's still alive everyone in the
whole world yeah just hold your breath while you're going by cemeteries
and the truth will appear to you.
Your whole life is just passing out,
waking up,
holding your breath,
passing out,
waking up.
I got to get past the cemetery
or I'm going to die.
Blake Wexler,
as always,
truly a pleasure having you
on the Daily Zeitgeist.
Where can people find you,
follow you, all that good shit?
The pleasure is all mine.
I have a podcast called Blake's Takes for God's Sakes, and I free associate improvise.
It's like my mania on this, but without my respect for you two that's holding me back in some sort of way.
So it is a mess.
It's been hailed as a mess and then
also at blake wexler and all social media and i have a podcast coming out with the philadelphia
eagles this summer called feeding the birds i'm the co-host of that so oh shit date yet but well
that'll that'll come out it's a fun one and uh yeah i'm doing stand-up around so blakewexler.com slash live dash dates and wow
does the does the podcast involve you like breadcrumbs of any any sort or it's just like
feeding feeding the birds with the information they crave it's that is a very good point so
it is breadcrumbs in that it's a mystery it's a whodunit where i follow the breadcrumbs of a
missing loaf that was taken
from the Eagles cafeteria
and Jalen Hurts started complaining that it was gone.
So it's more of a mystery podcast.
No, that's a good question.
It's the intersection of like football and food
as a podcast.
So we talk to certain former Eagles alumni,
former football players who have opened their own vineyard,
and now they have interests outside of football.
So you kind of see how people translate
into other jobs and categories.
It's interesting.
Wow.
Yeah.
All right.
Got Ron Jaworski on there?
Oh, the Polish pistol?
Yeah.
He was a ram, right?
It's funny.
I was thinking of just the other day,
when I was in portland i saw somebody
wearing a jerk the jersey i was gonna take a picture and send it to you because i thought
of you and then that's why that you then just come out here and be like i'm doing shit with
the eagles wow love to see it go eagles very lucky yeah it'll be good is there a tweet or
some of the work of social media you've been enjoying there there's an nft

I'm not that big of a fan of those either.
I mean, you gotta, you know,
it has its moments.
You can wear it.
They're like too classy for me,
I feel like. Whenever I wear like leather shoes, I'm like, man, I look like I'm somebody's boss.
Right.
Like, give me my sneakers.
Okay.
I know bank stuff.
I don't want to look like I know about bank stuff.
I'm trying to be told I can't get into this Las Vegas nightclub because of my footwear.

If you serve your kids frozen pizza or chicken nuggets for dinner,
you're a terrible parent.
I don't care how busy you are.
Find the time to microwave that shit.
And that I was like, fuck, I am bad, aren't I?
I'm the worst.
I'm bad.
Random Twitter account who I know nothing about them as parents.
Yeah.
But then at the end point and I was like, oh, that sounds pretty quick.
I could just add that to the end of feeding them frozen chicken nuggets and
frozen pizza and easy fix so thanks for the pointer eddie at edsra r tweeted in 1986 the
american physical society booked 4 000 hotel rooms in the mgm grand hotel and cost the casino so much
money that the aps was asked to never come back by the entire city of Las Vegas. The physicists didn't discover some genius gambling strategy.
They just didn't play.
Which, gotta love.
What a nightmare.
Just openly, no, no, no.
The thing is, we rob you.
We take your money.
That's how this works, assholes.
They're like, we know.
We're fucking physicists.
We look at numbers all day and go, nope. That's how this works, assholes. They're like, we know. We're fucking physicists. We're physicists.
