Starting point is 00:03:22 before it's dropped and though the world looks bad and very sad, I absolutely love waking up with miles. Uh, that is courtesy of suburban panic attack. And I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my cohost, Mr. Miles. Gray.
Starting point is 00:03:41 I may run and hide when you scream in my name, miles gray, but let me tell you now, I may run and hide when you're screaming my name, Miles Gray. But let me tell you now, there are hot takes to say, Miles Gray. We just want Biden to keep us alive. All you people, can't you see, can't you see how the plague's affecting our reality? They say back to work, we'll say that's fucked up. That's here on the Daily Zeitgeist. Okay, at Palo Caraventa, that wonderful Backstreet Boys referential, a.k.a. I couldn't tell even up to the end, even though you fucking nailed it,
Starting point is 00:04:30 because I wasn't hearing the actual song. I couldn't tell if that was a Bon Jovi or a Backstreet Boys song. Oh, okay. Yeah. But anyways, Miles, we are thrilled and fortunate to be joined in our third seat by a brilliant comedian, writer, actor, who's written for and appeared on Comedy Central and ABC and his stand-up albums, The Blake Album, Stuffed Boy, and Live from the Pandemic, debuted at number one on iTunes and Amazon,
Starting point is 00:05:00 and his album, 12 Years of Voicemails from Todd Glass to Blake Wexler, charted on Billboard. Please welcome the hilarious, the chaotic, Blake Wexler! Bliggity Blake yourself before you Wex yourself. Bliggity Blake yourself before you Wex yourself. Bliggity Blake yourself before you Wex yourself. Thank you, at Paul Garaventa. Double trouble from Paul today for that wonderful introduction. And welcome to the Daily Zeitgeist.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Wait, that was Paul Garaventa wrote that for you? He wrote that for me as well. Oh, my God. Yeah, he's busy. He's on staff. Okay. Yeah, Paul, try harder on mine and you might have hit for the cycle, bro. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Yeah, that's unexpected. Trifecta. I don't think we've had that. Maybe. Yeah, I don't know if it ever happened. It would have been with Yamaguchi main or Hannah Soltis. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Anyway, we'll go through the stats. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to go on daily reference. Yeah. Yeah. Blake, how are you? So good to see you.
Starting point is 00:06:01 How are thou? Oh, thou art great. I've been covering my neighbor's mother. Sorry, I was just trying to do. Your How art thou? Oh, thou art great. I've been covering my neighbor's mother. I'm sorry, I was just trying to do... Your neighbor's mother? Yeah. Well, there's no rule about that, bro. There is no rule. They were concise to, honestly, the detriment of interpretation. So that's my one problem with the Ten Commandments, is they were too succinct. Too specific, yeah yeah but that's my only one and we can talk more about that later i'm sure we will but uh yeah no everything's
Starting point is 00:06:30 everything's good here in well there's all about the loopholes this guy am i right yeah that's true that is true so um yeah no everything's good i'm just scooping up i uh i lived on i moved back to the east coast so i've just been scooping up boots and coats and just any any excuse to spend money on things scooping buggy you're doing a boot scoop and buggy in that order yes uh-huh how's the weather good wearing boots wet slushy wearing a coat let me tell you i honestly i can't wait till the first time I slip on ice here because I have been really excited about like I'd rather be cold and bundle up than hot. And I am I'm just waiting till the first time I slip on ice. And then that will the complaints in print.
Starting point is 00:07:16 All right. Online digitally. I'm going to complain in every medium. I'm going to be complaining about the weather. So that's that's my plug for this week. I have some complaints coming up. But yeah, no, everything's good. Jack, did you go back to the East Coast during the holidays at all?
Starting point is 00:07:30 The East Coast came to us out here. Yeah, both my parents and both my sisters and my sister's kids, they all came out. And the East Coast weather followed them. It was real shitty weather for a week straight and and miles is your goalie still handsome or um what's going on with arsenal everything that's all i know about you i'm on a familial basis or burned leno the like shining example of like german uh aryan face burned burned leno was the name of of the roast show that I pitched to Comedy Central where I roasted talk shows. You know, actually, since last we spoke, I mean, I feel like Arsenal were in a terrible place.
Starting point is 00:08:13 We're now in the top four. Yeah, are you really? Yeah, yeah. We lost to Manchester City over the weekend, but it was like one of those losses where people went, holy shit. Like, that was great. Like, they really, we had a few calls not go our way the virtue the var and fuck fuck the fucking video replay shit didn't go our way we got a man sent off but it was a great time so yeah thank you congrats on your loss yeah and i think russell westbrook didn't have a turnover for like the first time in like
Starting point is 00:08:40 a fucking year so he had the best line where he goes like, I'm allowed to turn the ball over. I'm allowed to have bad games. Wasn't his thing like, my game isn't predicated on the lack of turnovers. People have gotten very myopically focused on that, but anyway, it is what it is because the Lakers have a lot of
Starting point is 00:08:59 unhealthy people supporting their team. Blake and I wouldn't know anything about being happy with losses because 76ers just keep winning, bro. They keep winning. It's a healthy franchise in every aspect. Nothing to complain about. Just a true model of stability.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Yeah. Yeah. It's great. We're kind of like the Yankees of the NBA. We're just, you know, cruising along. Yeah. Like people are begging to come. No one would ever dream of leaving. Yeah. The Sixers are like the Celtics of the NBA.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Just a well-run franchise. Yeah, it's funny. The 76ers are playing well right now. And then I had all of my hopes dashed by like a single paragraph of a zach lowe article this nba writer who was like yeah but they don't get any they don't get any rebounds so they're fucked and i was like oh yeah i should probably just stop stop watching them then that does sound like something bad for a basketball team yeah not do with 33 of the stats that people care about you know that's generally we don't do that so yeah that's an issue yeah anyways though joel mb'd hell of a guy love him playing playing well also an arsenal fan is he yeah that's also a madrid fan okay look and a max for staffing fan
Starting point is 00:10:19 and is he a fan of the first app and is. Oh, God. What a weird choice. I know. Look, we'll get into F1 later. It's a whole other podcast called A Show for No One. F1's for Act 3. The intersection of the NBA with F1. You're going to love it, folks. All right.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Blake, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. Okay. First, we're going to tell you a couple of things we're talking about. We're talking about the fact that it is January 6th. It is the one-year anniversary of that whole business. And so we're going to talk about, you know, where we're at, how we're feeling. Good. I'm going to predict we're all feeling good.
Starting point is 00:10:58 And, like, it's been well digested and taken care of by our country. We're going to talk about the most Googled chain restaurant. We're going to talk about Yellowstone. It's apparently a very, very popular show. I actually was on a neo-Western kick over the past week. Last week. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was, you know, the buzz out there is deafening.
Starting point is 00:11:23 And we'll talk about the many reasons. This is just going to be a regular segment, possibly every day, where we talk about why the metaverse sucks. All of that, plenty more. But first, Blake, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? So I looked up Liberty University, Jerry Falwell, because I was watching football and Liberty has a very good quarterback and he's probably going to be in the first round pick in the NFL next year. And I was thinking, like, there's no way that that is the same university from that pig weirdo, you know, who was who used to work there, who was the president follow. And it was. And I or at least i remember it was i'm wrong about these things all the time but i believe that
Starting point is 00:12:10 that was the answer so um i it made me think about how interesting it is that you have these universities like or the difference between you kind of forget in sports that like there are universities that are incredibly like conservatively religious like extremely religious universities that are playing teams like like alabama or south carolina or something you know what i mean or usc and you forget that these students are who go to these universities are like governed by different rules and have such a different college experience and seeing that juxtaposed next to, you know, like a state school or BYU, for instance, you know, like a few years
Starting point is 00:12:49 ago, one of their basketball players was kicked out of the school before the tournament because he had a girl in his dorm room, like consensually after hours. And it's just it's just I thought it was a really interesting thing where, you know, the good thing about sports is that you're like, oh, these are just people, you know, think about like what's happening there. You don't think about belief systems or the world that they're living in. But I guess like the downfall is it kind of distracts you where, you know, particularly someone with a belief system that a Jerry Falwell Jr. has, like, you kind of don't think about that and how that affects the lives of young people at, you know, where he used to run the university. So I thought that was that was interesting. It also feels like a fake, like it feels not a fake university, but like it feels like you're telling me that like somebody is the quarterback for DeVry is like a blue chip prospect or, you know phoenix online quarterback uh john jacobson is a second round pick yeah it's very strange also best name i could improvise off the cup john jacobson and i'll tell you john jacob jingleheimer schmidt uh a linebacker
Starting point is 00:13:57 that's my name too actually no no shit Whenever I go out, people always shout. There he goes. Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da uniform yeah and shed a tear into an into a yearbook that song is about like a contagion social contagion it's really you know it's taking over the name john jacob jingle heimer schmidt taking over the the universe and you know do you know like those circular like because that was one of those circular things that would just annoy the shit out of parents you know like where you once you start singing like you have to have the willpower or someone to scream at you to stop singing this thing over and over. Were there other ones that you guys would do?
Starting point is 00:14:52 There was, like, I think Baby Shark now is probably one, right? Where, like, people just sing Baby Shark and then don't sing. Yeah, but there's only so many family members, Blake. And at a certain point, you got to go out and hunt. There was another kid at my school. Safe at last.
Starting point is 00:15:09 You're right. Like in elementary school, their kids would say, they would hear the word, like a teacher says, the word crazy. And they go, crazy? I was crazy once. They put me in a rubber, a rubber room, that is. Then the worms came. They make me crazy. Crazy?
Starting point is 00:15:23 I was crazy once. And these kids would just say this shit yes there's some some shit these kids at my school and i was like yo y'all are fucking weird fucking nightmare they were like the kids would like bring their toys to school and shit and play with them you're like what the fuck is this huh like we're in fucking third grade you don't even bring toys here they got stuff for you play dodgeball or some shit. Anyway. If we're breaking down the name John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, what is the first name? What is the middle name? What is the last name?
Starting point is 00:15:51 Is John Jacob the first name hyphenated and Jingleheimer middle name Schmidt last? Or Jingleheimer Schmidt? I think Jingleheimer Schmidt is a hyphenate. Yeah. The mother was Jingleheimer. The father was Schmidt. Yeah. That's not right to me. John first, Jacob. The mother was Jingleheimer. The father was Schmidt. Yeah. John first,
Starting point is 00:16:06 Jacob middle, and then Jingleheimer Schmidt. It's just like, uh, they did like the, the backstory of that is they are an assassin and that's why they get all three names. Cause they did attempt to assassinate a president at one point.
Starting point is 00:16:20 It apparently came out of vaudeville. Oh really? Yeah. Cause I heard Jack's rendition that John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt killed Franz Ferdinand. I think that's actually. Franz Ferdinand. Yes. Gavrilo Princip.
Starting point is 00:16:37 They're like, nah, we don't like that one. That doesn't really work. Doesn't really, not enough syllables in that guy's name. doesn't really doesn't really not enough syllables in that guy's name that makes sense that it would be like the kristen shawl is a horse version of like for the do you know that sketch where it's just kristen shawl and uh one other kind of indie comic doing a thing where they just keep singing kristen shawl as a horse over and over. And it like goes until the entire audience just leaves the. It's so funny. So she's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:17:10 Yeah. Her character in what we do in the shadows. That series is just. Yeah, she cracks me up. She's funny in everything she does. Yeah. What? There's some.
Starting point is 00:17:20 Oh, yo, this the John Jacob Jingleheimer's right. Lord, it's like kind of weird. Oh, they said it got popular because Girl Scouts would start singing them on outings. But then, it says, in the 1926, the Times newspaper of Munster, Indiana printed that during a Girl Scout
Starting point is 00:17:36 outing, the Scouts sat around a campfire and quote, it was solemnly announced that John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith, after a long and useful life, had died from overwork on the way to whiting. He was buried with due ceremony and his ghost is not to be seen until October 1st. All the favorite camp songs were sung. I don't know what that is, but it sounds like now it's a ghost and he died of overwork.
Starting point is 00:18:00 So he's a victim of capitalism. Yeah, right. work so he's a victim of capitalism yeah right also that so it evolved to schmidt at some point because there was a backlash against germans during world war one and two so maybe that was like a little piece of propaganda this place i do like that they i do like that they're like his ghost will not be seen until like it's almost yeah it's like his ghost needs a little rest yeah his schedule is a bitch he can i know you're expecting to see his ghost immediately yeah i'm with the ghost union local 443 yeah jacob jingleheimer smith he's not gonna be here he's gonna be here october 1st okay you're gonna have to wait yeah send it up the chain blake what's something you think is like overrated overrated hair on men's heads uh-huh uh-huh and i've been thinking a lot like my hair like it's
Starting point is 00:18:51 kind of it's creeping in the back it's creeping in the front a little bit i think i have a little while i think i have a couple years left on it but i've been thinking about like oh when my hair goes i'll probably shave my head you know and like grow a beard or something. But I do from like I can grow hair here. Oh, and then transplant it DIY style on top of my head. Please don't DIY your hair plugs. All right. Comb up. Comb over from the bottom of the face all the way around.
Starting point is 00:19:18 Just like I like that. Wrap it like a cocktail weenie. Well, you'll need an ear hole, hole however which is the one thing that's stopping me from doing that is the lack of symmetry yeah i'm sorry can you guys repeat that it's like i can't say anything to you the way you look i can't say shit to you yeah but yeah i like from people i think it's one of those things where it's just a thing that men like think about more than anyone else does where when i see like a guy with a shaved head or something i'm not like ah ah you know it's just like oh that's just a guy that's like john there's a person jacob jingle yes okay jesus blake
Starting point is 00:19:58 and it's october 1st and it's time to get fucked up sing all his favorite songs around the fire And it's October 1st and it's time to get fucked up. Sing all his favorite songs around the fire. No. Yeah. I liked it. I remember when I was losing my hair. I remember the moment I, I caught onto it.
Starting point is 00:20:15 It was in the reflection of a, of a metallic elevator door. Oh God. Like I was like, yo, what's up with the corner of my hairline? And I remember going in. I remember I was in Japan at the time. I remember asking like was like, yo, what's up with the corner of my hairline? It's so shiny. I remember going in.
Starting point is 00:20:26 I was in Japan at the time. I remember asking my relatives, my uncle. He was like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That shit's going. Couldn't even give me the... And all the men in my... Because you inherit the hair traits from your mother's side. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:42 All of them are bald. So I've been knowing since like 10 years old, since I that was it they're like welcome to the show like you're on your way kid and i remember my uncle was like so i guess so i guess he made a joke he's like oh i guess you really are your mom's kid you're not adopted uh was the way he tried so there was good news there yeah rest his soul yeah it is interesting because i would never think of you not that it's a negative thing but i would would be like, oh, Miles has the right head. You know what I mean? Like I'm not, I would never be like, oh, Miles is a bald gentleman or Miles is a guy without hair, you know? Yeah. Thank you. Like you're Miles. Yeah. Things, things I haven't thought of,
Starting point is 00:21:20 but yeah. Uh, you know, again, I'm always raising my fist to the sky. I'm like, did they have to figure out a COVID vaccine before a hair restoration pill? Like, really? I thought you meant in pride with like bald solidarity, but you mean like raising your fist to the sky in anger. I think Biles meant a COVID vaccine. Correct me if I'm wrong. A COVID vaccine for bald people. Is that what you're saying? Yes, sure. That that too that we will inherit the earth yeah right a lot of people don't know that
Starting point is 00:21:49 and we are breaking that on today's episode but the covid vaccine doesn't work if you're bald no which sucks which is why i haven't left the house in seven months what is something you think is underrated like when old people curse like as long as it's non racial you know but like so let me add that qualifier in but i've heard like my grandmother used to say crazy where when it was cold she'd say it's colder than like a witch's tit in a brass bra is like a thing that she would say when i was a child and which is a very vibrant image and then uh my dad i heard him say like son of a bitch bastard dog like at someone like just after he dropped like like they dropped something and that was like a very funny thing and i heard him say mother jumper
Starting point is 00:22:39 the other day which is i believe it's supposed to be a less strong version of motherfucker. But like someone who jumps mothers to me is so much worse. Yeah. Yeah. I jumped them all because it could mean sex. It could mean physical. Jumped her bones. Beating them down.
Starting point is 00:22:59 Yes. Yeah. What's this from? Jumped her bones. I feel like I heard that a lot in like 80s movies. Oh, yeah. Jump your bones. I don't like that yeah what is that even what is that cut that cut that we gotta get that out of here uh but yeah old i'm trying to did like either of
Starting point is 00:23:16 your families have like like just either phrases or or would they not curse? Would they say something? I mean, I would, my grandfather, on my dad's side, my black grandfather, would say like typical ones because he went to church, so he hated saying stuff with God in it. So he would say, golly. He would say, golly. That's when you get real mad.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Or doggone it. Doggone it and golly were rest rest in peace my grandfather warren those are the ones that he was saying i always laugh when you say golly because he was the amount of energy that came it felt like he was saying like you know christ cunt it was it was so extreme but it was just golly but yeah those are about the extent of it and then the one time he said i don't like that shit it was like when he was older and it was like later in his life and he was the the handbrake had come off on like giving a fuck about stuff because you're like whatever i'm mortal man like i'm not gonna hold my tongue and i remember it made me laugh so much
Starting point is 00:24:18 that's some shit i don't like yeah that same grandfather's you told me that he would fart and then go huh great somebody said something directly behind yeah and uh i i have not stopped doing that around my kids see and that's how he lives on forever exactly just and it was always sometimes he would yell like if they were really loud like oh look behind you that's the important thing you gotta say oh it's not what or if you can go huh then you got it you got it pardon me yeah no no no is the best again yeah yeah the only one that works. That's great. And then I have a,
Starting point is 00:25:07 I guess my parents didn't curse that much, but again, I pick up on the parents and relatives of friends. My best friend in Kentucky's dad would say someone stepped on a bullfrog whenever he farted. That's a good one.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Yeah, that always stuck with me too. I fart a lot, in case you can't tell. I just constantly need things to do. For my farts. And I do have to just thank Justin, Super Producer Justin, because, I mean, these episodes are two hours long during the edit. And you're just going, huh? And we're like, we couldn't hear it, dude.
Starting point is 00:25:40 So it doesn't work like that. You're like, well, you should have heard it. It was pretty impressive it was juicy uh right well guys let's take a quick break and when we come back we're gonna talk about the fact that it's january 6th and of course uh bean day speaking of parts and uh cuddle up day and uh i guess we might get to the fact that it is also the day that capital got over on with help of some capital police or whatever uh all right we'll be right back i'm jess casavetto executive producer of the hit netflix documentary series dancing for the devil

Together, we'll share what it really takes to thrive in the early years of your career without sacrificing your sanity or sleep.

Starting point is 00:28:40 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.
Starting point is 00:28:57 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. Señora Sex Ed is not your mommy sex talk. This show is la plática like you've never heard it before. We're breaking the stigma
Starting point is 00:29:25 and silence around sex and sexuality in Latinx communities. This podcast is an intergenerational conversation between Latinas from Gen X to Gen Z. We're covering everything from body image to representation in film and television. We even interview iconic Latinas like Puerto Rican actress Ana Ortiz.

If you're in your señora era or know someone who is, then this is the show for you. We're your hosts, Diosa and Mala.
Starting point is 00:30:05 And you might recognize us from our flagship podcast, Locatora Radio. We're so excited for you to hear our brand new podcast, Señora Sex Ed. Listen to Señora Sex Ed on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. And it's been a whole year since uh since we were recording this show being like
Starting point is 00:30:33 wow huh there's some shit going on right there it looks like huh huh keep an eye on yeah a year since as you said the help of some of the Capitol's finest. We watched in horror as, you know, the slow motion car crash that we saw begin from Election Day, like sort of come to pass. And, you know, the hearings have gone on for a while. We've checked in with them. Mostly subpoenas are being ignored. And then we get like drips and drabs of you know communications between people in the trump world you're like oh yeah yeah yeah yeah like that was they they just they just didn't have their shit together enough to fully overthrow the government that day and they really wanted to but then latest news uh rather than just kind of like well where are we now i just it's better
Starting point is 00:31:19 just check up on the latest thing that happened and that's's around Sean Hannity. He just got hit with a letter from the January 6th Select Committee about some fucking text messages, not the ones that we heard a few weeks ago that Liz Cheney read out loud of all the like many people from Fox News who were like begging the January 6th shit to stop. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:31:38 They have ones that they're saying are so damning that I think the word seems like insufficient based on like what Sean Hannity was saying. So I just want to read what the select committee was saying in their get over here letter to Sean Hannity quote, the select committee has now has information in its possession as outlined in part below indicating that you had advanced knowledge regarding president Trump's and his legal teams planning for January 6. It also appears that you have, uh, you were expressing concerns and providing advice to the president and certain White House staff
Starting point is 00:32:08 regarding that planning. You also had relevant communications while the riot was underway and in the days thereafter. These communications make you a fact witness in our investigation. Like this one we've never heard from January 5th, quote, from Sean Hannity to Mark Meadows, From January 5th, quote, from Sean Hannity to Mark Meadows, I'm very worried about the next 48 hours. Okay. I mean, I think we said the same thing. We didn't say it directly to Mark Meadows, I don't think. Okay, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Let's try this one on for size. This is from December 31st, 2020, to Mark Meadows also. we can't lose the entire White House counsel's office. I do not see January 6th happening the way he is being told. After the 6th, he should announce he will lead the nationwide effort to reform reform voting integrity. Go to Florida and watch Joe mess up daily. Stay engaged. When he speaks, people will listen. And you're like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:33:04 Hold on. What's this thing about? You're like what the fuck hold on what's this thing about the you can't lose the entire white house counsel's office i don't see the six happening the way he's being told well it sounds like the thing we had heard about where the white house counsel was essentially going to resign in mass to protest the attempted fuckery that was going to go on with doj because some dude was about to crown himself acting attorney general to then announce a bunch of nonsense investigations to sort of reinforce the Stop the Stealing narrative to keep the coup energy up.
Starting point is 00:33:33 It's pretty wild that he was a week out, was like, I do not see January 6th happening the way he is being told. So that's pretty, that's maybe the most damning thing I've, sorry, dang nabbing thing i've heard darn it to this point huh yeah there's another one where he's talking about he's like hey i spoke to him and like i don't like that i don't think he's understanding me it's
Starting point is 00:33:59 like very he said guys we have this is on januaryth. So this is the text that he sent after, right? Everything went down. Quote, this is to him again, speaking to, I believe Mark Meadows saying, guys, we have a clear path to land the plane in nine days. Oh, this was to him and to Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan. And then wrote quote, he can't mention the election again, ever. I did not have a good call with him today and worse i'm not sure what is left to do or say and i don't like not knowing if it's truly understood ideas it sounds like people these this group of people definitely have you know though people have mentioned that hannity has been in the year of the white house for a long time but when you see it's like this it sounds like people who are like yo what the fuck he's not he's not sticking to the script like this is the shit we planned yeah it's i'm not one to defend sean hannity but are we sure
Starting point is 00:34:50 when he said i'm very worried about the next 48 hours he wasn't talking about the hit cbs show that's my favorite show the next episode of 48 hours it's a great question blake okay i'm not expecting an answer i'm just bringing it up as a is it the first 48 hours or do they have also the next 48 hours a sequel to the first 48 hours just 48 hours neat no ice nothing just 48 hours yeah pour me 48 hours neat yeah okay i don't know i mean you should talk to jay seculo his, and maybe you can offer that as a possible defense. You might know the episode titled The Corn Rake Murder. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:31 A classic. I'm really worried about it. I don't want that to happen to me. Yeah. Okay. I'm sorry. I just wanted to, again, like, I obviously, I'm just playing devil's advocate here. That's fine. And when we need that to have a fair and balanced show. Since we are a year later from this, like I do just want to take a moment to like ask the question, what do we think he has learned since these messages? Like, I would assume that he the the lesson that he has learned from the ensuing year is that he was wrong. That like, he should not have been telling him not to fire the entire white house counsel's office or have them all resign because there were no consequences.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Like they just got away with it. Like, right. Like he, he's not, he's not looking back at this and being like, wow, I really avoided,
Starting point is 00:36:22 uh, steered him clear. He's probably looking back and being like wow i really avoided uh steered him clear he's probably looking back and being like man i i didn't realize how little people gave a shit about about something like this right i i don't know that's hard it's hard to get into the minds of these people because there's so much cognitive dissonance like at the center of their world like and it's just they just do the thing that most people do when they have those moments just double down but i don't know if deep down like these texts suggest that sean hannity's like y'all this is a fucking weird plan you should not like it's completely like this is unlike anything i'd ever seen like i'm fine screaming racist shit on tv and like making it hot for
Starting point is 00:37:00 libs but like to violently overthrow the government like in such an underhanded way out in the open, they're like, that just feels like a bridge to that. That I think that's the most charity I can give Hannity based on this text is that he's like, yo, I'm smart enough to know. It's like,
Starting point is 00:37:16 you don't want to get mixed up in this. If it goes left. Oh, I I'm assuming he is only giving this advice based on the fact that he thinks it's going to be unsuccessful and he thinks it's going to be a bad look for the president, which is what everybody like kept. That seems to have been the thesis of everybody was, you know, in those texts we saw last month, everybody seemed to be being like, stand down, like, tell everybody to chill out. This is a really bad look like you're going to it's going to kill your political career. you chill out. This is a really bad look like you're going to it's going to kill your political career. I think in the years since it has been proven that that is not the case, that they were
Starting point is 00:37:51 overestimating the power of the mainstream media and the like underestimating the control that Trump has over the Republican Party. And like now i feel like it's were this to happen again today they would just be like you should have planned better type thing unless like come out and denounce this at once because that you know that didn't really do it nobody's like yeah they're i think they're operating in a world where they're like, dude, we're going to get in deep shit for this. Yeah. And then, yeah, like you're saying, it didn't happen. And I think even then that's like a weird momentary check for everyone, too, or like now.
Starting point is 00:38:34 But we were fucking scared of that happening. But also the clock's ticking on us being able to continue to win elections without having a plurality of votes. Right. Then what do we do? So that's. Yeah. elections without having a plurality of votes right so then what do we do so that's yeah so i don't discount like the sort of living breathing creature that is the republican party to do what it has to do to survive like they're not going to just be like you're right folks the ideas were too
Starting point is 00:38:55 bad right i guess we just gotta figure it out before people will vote for us because their whole thing is like no well fuck that people are wrong they're stupid and i think we just need to make everyone's decisions for them. What's that called? Authoritarian regime? I don't know. I think what it is, too, is that I mean, this sounds so simple, but the fact that no members of like no representatives were detained
Starting point is 00:39:19 or did come into physical contact with these people, I think this is so silly. But the fact that the government wasn't overthrown and the fact that these representatives weren't actually, I mean, they were in danger, obviously, but there was no, nothing, nothing horrific happened. Does that, does that make sense where no physical harm came to these people? I think just to, for once, try to be concise in my goddamn life the fact that nobody was physically harmed that i think was the the line that would be crossed for this actually to matter in a mean in a political way does that make a lot of yeah a lot of people
Starting point is 00:39:56 point to like republicans who were fucking panicked yeah in the chamber they're like dude these guys are shooting out of the fucking doors into the hallway and like cowering that they definitely knew how bad it got. But I think that's just how quickly shit had to shift because it's like, well, we can't sit in that because then we look guilty. We're going to have to quickly move past to that. I was nothing. It was nothing, even though it was probably one of the most vivid, weird fucking experiences I've ever been in my life. As a conservative talking point, being afraid is not something that is popular to say, you know, like where I think as a liberal, as a Democrat, like as a liberal, it's like, oh, feelings are OK. You know, I mean, like you were feeling scared. The liberal representatives like, oh, we were really, really afraid. A Democratic voter can accept that a lot easier than a conservative voter,
Starting point is 00:40:46 where in my, this is my opinion, but I think a conservative, someone who's conservative politically wants strength, wants power, wants, and to say that I'm afraid is giving up political capital. You know, like you need to express a position of strength. Saying if you're a republican oh i was afraid is not good for your party and it's not good for you to try with your voter base well because i think that's what you know conservatism is all about it's not about progress or moving forward it's about staying very rigidly in this era where people don't have
Starting point is 00:41:20 fucking feelings i've never heard of fucking trauma. I never heard of this. It's just like you either if you fucking get her done or you don't. Are you scared? What the hell is that? And I think that's just yeah. Like you're saying, that does have an appeal to voters of a certain disposition. But yeah, it's in the long view. We kind of like look at this. And yeah, I too look at what the media has done.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Their lack of being able to properly communicate like how awful this is because they're afraid that they're picking sides because that's really the thing that is governing the outward messaging to be like this is so bad i don't know if we know this the whole country's in chaos like those stories come up but i you know i don't see the same motivation to warn people because like they're even looking at like all this voter suppression they're like golly what are they doing and it's like this is a fucking existential threat but yeah this is uh that's that's the other part of this um the other part of january 6th though is to talk about donald trump He had a big old, like, press conference planned for today.
Starting point is 00:42:26 Like, on the anniversary of January 6th, he had some shit to say. He was like, it's going to be this whole event that conservatives were going to rally around on the anniversary, but it got canceled at the fucking last minute. And was it because other conservatives told him,
Starting point is 00:42:41 dude, this is a terrible fucking idea? Maybe. But if you ask him, he'll put it like this, you know, dude, this is a terrible fucking idea. Maybe. But if you ask him, he'll put it like this, you know, dude, this is only a fraction of like this long thing he wrote about why he's actually canceling his January 6th anniversary speech. Quote, in light of all that, I'm not kidding. Do his fucking voice in light of all the total bias and dishonesty of the January 6th bucket, unselect committee of Democrats, two failed Republicans in the fake news media.
Starting point is 00:43:03 I'm canceling the January 6th press conference at Mar-a-lago on thursday and instead we'll discuss many of those important topics at my rally on saturday january 15th in arizona it will be a big crowd what has become more and more obvious to all is that the lamestream media will not report the facts that nancy pelosi and the cap blah blah it's just it goes on and gone and on the fact is every republican who he spoke to was like or people were talking to his orbit were like do not fucking do this this is the worst fucking thing you can do also people need to be focused on real issues don't fucking bring the clock back to this and laura ingram apparently also turned down a request for him to appear on her show to talk all this shit so it all boiled down
Starting point is 00:43:45 to the fact that it wasn't really the lengthy media but the fact that he wasn't going to get live like live television coverage yeah and that's all he wanted and i think when so that's interesting to see what that's in that's another that's all part of trump's like realization process as well i feel like where he's just like oh fuck like i can't even get on live tv anymore like what do i do ufc fight against jake paul paul wouldn't take that but like this doesn't feel comforting to me that like laura ingram like turned him down so much as it just seems like they're like the whole aftermath. Like when you think back to like where we were on the sixth and like watching this and everybody being shocked and being like, wow, they're really like showing their ass at this
Starting point is 00:44:35 point. Like Trump is showing his ass, like especially because this is based on like a complete lie that is like easily provable as such. on like a complete lie that is like easily provable as such this is like i think there was a sort of mainstream consensus that this was going to be a like okay we've hit a breaking point with this shit like let's watch the wave kind of recede type of moment and instead i feel like it's been more like they've been given an act break to like sort of gather themselves and strategize in the wings while Biden is like on stage, not doing a whole hell of a lot. And it's yeah, it just feels like it's a chance for it's not like the high watermark for authoritarianism. It's like a break for authoritarianism.
Starting point is 00:45:27 for authoritarianism it's like a a break for authoritarianism and yeah the like i don't know it's like hitler's prison term where he took a break to write mein kampf it's like the the time where he gets to like sit back in the cut and strategize and build and just like that i also think like the thing that nobody could have predicted on this day a year ago is that the public would be more alienated than ever before with the increasingly mainstream frustration with the pandemic. I feel like I know more people today who are closer to buying into some form of like conspiracy theory thinking than i did a year ago oh yeah i can compare 2019 people i know to 2021 22 people and i'm i'm i'm blown away yeah and and it is to that point that frustration it creates opportunity for people to adopt like these sort of alternative, you know, explanations for what's happening, which is why so many experts on like democratic collapse
Starting point is 00:46:31 are just saying, you know, if the U.S. like, you know, had more like support for people like could actually eliminate some of the tension that's brought on by the pandemic, like economic uncertainty or like debt and things like that, that has a very massive effect on people's thinking in terms of like going towards something more like authoritarian or conspiratorial because on your, your, your, you're taking away these sort of pain points that motivate someone to go deeper or find an explanation because the one that they have, which is like, I live in a cruel, shitty world, like sometimes isn't enough, unfortunately. Yeah. And they have more time to think about it too, where, you know, with even remote work or, you know, like not doing as many things because
Starting point is 00:47:15 of COVID you're in front of your computer more often, you're alone more often, like you have excuses not to go out and like, you know, and I i mean this probably has something to do with the metaverse as well but like you know you can you just have more time and more empty like idle idle space in your brain to explore these conspiracy theories and when you're locked down you don't have as much perspective on what's real and what's logical and then it's just so easy to fall into these silos of like minded, you know, thinkers that I think that's another big difference between 2019 and now where there's just so many factors that lead to this shit. Yeah. But yeah. And I think there's an also an overarching like there's a reason that all of the, like, toss-ups are breaking the same way. And it's because we have a fucked up system that's reaching a breaking point.
Starting point is 00:48:12 And people, the authoritarians are rushing in to exploit it. And the Democratic Party is not built to exploit it. No. It's like, kind of, the bones are the system of the democratic right like the bones are about to break themselves you know what i mean because it's like it can't withstand its own weight anymore and like like just the idea of like being able to aid people it's like we're clearly at a point where we have to invert the dynamic where a plurality of people are enjoying like the benefits of a like a healthy economy rather than the most moneyed people enjoying that and because we
Starting point is 00:48:55 would have to reorient to put people without money ahead of people with money it's just incompatible with how the country is so So like we're then that's the issue. We're asking the country to do an impossible thing. So I don't see how anything happens unless it has these like really fucking freaky moments. We're like, oh, shit, what the fuck? Because we have the way our leadership is structured in our political ideology in this country. It's it's only it's always to be to benefit the wealthy and because what we need is the opposite it's just
Starting point is 00:49:31 like bro i don't know how to fucking do that right i can like i can make gestures towards it but like truly like form it transformative shit well that's not can't happen with these people yeah can't happen with the way our like our elections are funded and the way our tax code is set up. It just can't happen. You know, and I think that's what's the that's what makes it a little bit frightening is to know that for as much as like the optimism there is for, you know, Joe Biden's agenda and things like that the shit that i think that's really needed it's just it's antithetical to how we operate and i don't know if that's discussed enough either like a true confrontation to be like i think more than anything the way everything's been moving the last few decades it's just unsustainable and we're seeing all of the fucking evidence right now because i can't point to people who are like you know just not out people who are not wealthy saying my life has got become exponentially better here now i get comparatively when you leave a very stressful situation from somewhere else you can find
Starting point is 00:50:35 moments for improvement and things like that but i feel like the people who are who really talk about like they've really benefited or wealth the wealthiest people like people that are wealthier even beyond our imaginations. And I think that's the hard part about it all. You. What if I was just like, after that beautiful statement, I was like,
Starting point is 00:50:52 let's speak for yourself. I'm fucking crushing it over here. Beautiful. It was so well said, just completely undervalued. Like, sounds like a lot of talk. Sounds like John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt had a little too much. didn't know he was on the podcast blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

I have a proposal for you. Come. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up?
Starting point is 00:53:52 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.
Starting point is 00:54:10 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. This podcast is an intergenerational conversation between Latinas from Gen X to Gen Z. We're covering everything from body image to representation in film and television. We even interview iconic Latinas like Puerto Rican actress Ana Ortiz.
Starting point is 00:54:55 I felt in control of my own physical body and my own self. I was on birth control. I had sort of had my first sexual experience. If you're in your Senora era or know someone who is, then this is the show for you. We're your hosts, Diosa and Mala, and you might recognize us from our flagship podcast, Locatora Radio. We're so excited for you to hear our brand new podcast, Senora Sex Ed. Listen to Senora Sex Ed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:55:34 And we're back. And, you know, this is hard-hitting shit. Google has released the most Googled chain restaurant. And what are we looking at miles hit us with the with the facts so hit us with the scorecard harold letterman who is the most googled chain restaurant is starbucks okay followed by mcdonald's then domino's
Starting point is 00:56:00 chick-fil-a pizza hut and our blessed taco bell right at the end, at the death, just snatched it. And the writers at the takeout, I only bring this up because, not because it's really that important, but over at the takeout, they had some theories of why Starbucks is so much more ahead in the rankings. I think it was in 30, it was like the 39th most searched thing, and then McDonald's is like the 55th or something. 30 it was like the 39th most searched thing and then mcdonald's like the 55th or something that it's things like they have more varied menus that are like and like in localities they have different menus or that they have seasonal items like you know christmas drinks and fall drinks and shit like that or cups and stuff and they're also in dense urban centers so people might be just saying yo let me google where's a star. But my theory really, I think, is that the thing that pushed them over the edge or put them so far ahead is that it was all around, I think, that struggle for labor rights.
Starting point is 00:56:52 And how much of a top of mind thing, not that for the entire country, but in Buffalo, those stores that were unionizing, that took up a lot of, of like the conversation air during that time, like everyone was like talking about it, we heard like, you know, we played some of the cringy monologue from the former CEO. And I think there, I think that drew a lot of people in because as much as I'd like to think pumpkin spice lattes and commemorative cups drove the traffic surge, I think their place in the potential domino effect of like worker rights gave it a little bit more. There was more interest from the general public aside from just anyone because I'm not to say that every person who was like working at a like a quick service restaurant was like, I got to focus on Starbucks, Starbucks, Starbucks, but that news and around it, I felt like just created more headlines and more attention around it. Just my two cents. I think that makes sense. Yeah, because I also really like what you're on to with the different pieces of news or new things that they come up with.
Starting point is 00:57:55 Starbucks always has new drinks. Domino's has like driverless delivery and all that. It's like Chick-fil-A. You got to know like which day is it closed. Pizza Hut is always like has a new box filled with shelves of food in it you know and taco bell always has new stuff i do want to know why anyone would ever google mcdonald's because it is always the same and you're not trying to find one because if you just drive like you'll run into one you know what i mean like you don't if you're on a road trip there'll be a sign for it on the highway they're everywhere i do not know why you would google mcdonald's like
Starting point is 00:58:29 that's my first google every morning blake is it yeah i'm just like what are they up to what's mcdonald's got making sure it's there yeah making sure it's the same thing how's that you know what's wild though it got so the things that people it got got more, people search McDonald's more than Netflix. Wow. Which seems like, or Bank of America. So this is one of my questions slash theories is that like Starbucks and Domino's both have really good apps. Yes. Applications, not appetizers.
Starting point is 00:59:02 I got it. Love the soupy duck bites. I was so fucking confused when you first said that I almost threw up on my pants. So thank you for for fixing that. That is something that happens to you when you're confused. And yes, we have to give you a very gentle briefing before every episode or else it takes so much to mess in here. And I appreciate it yeah but like so i'm just trying to mcdonald's makes more sense to me because nobody's like going into the mcdonald's
Starting point is 00:59:31 app and like ordering on the mcdonald's app like domino's is the one that i get yeah i guess they had the news hook about driverless cars but for the most part i can't imagine like googling unless you're just like what's the phone number for dominoes because i don't use apps like were they i mean they i don't know if they were also making headlines with like all the you know like minimum wage talk but was there anything that put mcdonald's like whatever it doesn't fucking matter all that to say people are focused on the quick service world and yeah long um i mean not long may the struggle last but long may continue until we get better treatment now if google really wanted to grab our attention they would be breaking each of these searches down by like
Starting point is 01:00:17 how many of the people were googling starbucks because they needed a place to shit right like that's i have to think that's like 40 percent of the like you know like right right right there's one it's just starbucks dick and coffee like we're honestly like just as confused as you back when i uh worked at cracked there was a search term i'm drawing a blank on like what it was. It was something with like horse, I think horse dicks. Good. That was one of like the top search terms that landed people on the website.
Starting point is 01:00:55 Like when you got down, it was always like in the top hundred and we could never figure out why. It was like horse cock. Miles Gray was a big one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. That you had won miles. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. That you had one miles.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Yeah. I collect them. Yeah. I love your necklace, by the way. Oh, thank you. Yeah. Your shelves are buckling. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:17 Well, I'm getting an I'm getting a delivery of a Clydesdale later. It's. Yeah. Oh, man. Now I have to picture what, do Clydesdale's dicks have the, like, fluffy white fur, like the bottom of the hooves?
Starting point is 01:01:34 Oh, that's interesting. That's very interesting, Blake. You know, those amphibians that have, it's not a salamander, but it has the floofy gills like up near its head. Is it that situation with the Clydesdale hog with the floofy
Starting point is 01:01:50 fur at the top? Right. Or is it at the base where the pubis? Oh, yeah. What's it called? Like an axolotl or something? Yes. Yes. That's exactly what it is. And you nailed the pronunciation. Nailed it. It's a very difficult word
Starting point is 01:02:05 axel foley yeah yeah the axel rose the quaddle what is that all right briefly i want to talk about yellowstone because they just had their season four finale this is a if you're not familiar it's a kind of neo-western show starring kevin costner made by technically neo-western genre new western what the fuck yeah i don't know what that means it's i it might be a term i just made up but i think it's i think it's like no country for old men blood simple you know taylor sheridan the creator of the show yellowstone has also made hell or high water and wind river so it's like yeah westerns that take place in a more modern setting right they say with right the definition subgenre that adopts its character setting and themes and transmits them with contemporary sensibilities got it got it right so i think also like unforgiven and more like post-modern westerns would count as neo-westerns
Starting point is 01:03:12 but like i think that i don't know i find more you could say mandalorian is a neo-western too right there you go using the producer becca just wrote a neo-western is a western with a shaved head i think i like give my bad jokes doc martin's with red laces i don't refer i sorry yeah yeah becca and justin gave me that joke simultaneously yeah but so i i got i got on a big neo-western kick over the break and like watched blood simple no content like the movies that i just mentioned so that's but so taylor sheridan is the guy who made hell or high water and wind river and that he created this show it's about a family that like owns the largest private ranch in montana and have to defend against outside forces like bordering native reservations and a public park and land developers. So they nailed one villain of those three.
Starting point is 01:04:14 The dreaded public park. Yeah. Now, I don't know what his point of view is on this. Maybe they're antiheroes like anti-heroes but you know it does make sense that it would be salient now seeing as like private property like you know the bundies out in the west i feel like there's very interesting things happening right in that world and i feel like private property seems to be kind of the original sin of the united states that we can't really recover from and so this is all to say i'm going to watch yellowstone
Starting point is 01:04:52 or some of it and actually have a a well-informed take instead of this yeah wasn't there this finale like just setting records yeah so this it was something season four finale hit like had the highest ratings for a day of and like they premiered it on i guess it's peacock even though it seems like it's on paramount network show it streams on peacock and they have like nine million people watch it on the day it came out, which is a new record, which is pretty wild when you realize that like every show in the top 10 of like most streamed shows is on Netflix. But I mean,
Starting point is 01:05:36 it's, it's definitely one of those. It's like the, it's again, one of those shows, like the biggest show that I don't know about at all. Yeah. And I just see constantly see pre-rolls
Starting point is 01:05:45 for it and i'm like i don't know it's kevin costner cool but yeah it's the neo-western man i just do so i did watch wind river which is the only of the one of those movies those neo-westerns i hadn't seen and it's about like crimes done to native peoples on like native reservations. And its protagonist is a fish and wildlife tracker played by Jeremy Renner. But it's cool because, uh, his ex-wife is native American. Oh,
Starting point is 01:06:18 cool. Cool. That's fine. But that not, not his love interest. Mind you, his love interest is Elizabeth Olson, who is a FBI agent who comes out
Starting point is 01:06:25 to help solve the crime but like yeah the the native people aren't very useful or capable of dealing with their own shit in the movie so there's like some very serious white savior shit going on but i i do want to watch this and see like how they're handling a story that centers on a bundy like clan trying to defend their private property rights against the public park system like i can't think of uh i mean it's got to be good you know like because you don't do numbers like that and be a totally like nonsense show you know so not to say that like it's not true no no no but i mean like you know that they're like even when i watch shows that do numbers i'm like oh i see why people fuck i've never seen like a show right this is complete this is like a fever dream i don't understand this at all yeah
Starting point is 01:07:15 right hey you guys haven't seen a single one of these right that a single episode of yellowstone not not one yet i i started the middle. I have a rechargeable battery thing I got as a promo for it. Yeah. That counts. I saw the hell out of some billboards when it first came out. Yeah. That's about it, man. I thought you said Mystic River when you said Wind River.
Starting point is 01:07:37 And when I was in high school, I got hired to write probably was free. It was free to write like dirty, like dirty movie titles, I guess, for a morning show. And I asked my best friend Jeff to help me.
Starting point is 01:07:52 And he wrote like a hundred of them, but they were all so bad where it was like mystic river of semen was like one of the ones that he wrote. And it's like, no, you got to like do wordplay. And it was like pirates of the Caribbean having sex with each other. It it's like you can't no no just put wordplay word kind of with jeff on this one man i think you steered him wrong i think i did too mystic river of semen's pretty
Starting point is 01:08:16 good so producer becca what which show was good i did again i'm yellowstone yellowstone's good yeah okay stanley yellowstone was good i watched it with my mom okay i was home while in texas from the south yeah yellowstone she loved it and they have like um i don't know if it's a spin-off but it's the same creators who did yellowstone i think but it's like based in like, I don't know, the Oregon trail. Right. 18. It's like got some year title, right? It's a prequel. It's like these people's ancestors. But that has country stars, Faith Hill and while I'm spacing, very famous, Kim McGraw. Star is a matter of opinion. I love Kim McGraw. Kimagra.
Starting point is 01:09:02 Star is a matter of opinion. Yeah. I love Kimagra. All right. Well, now I feel less dread about the fact that I just promised to watch some of this. Yes. But, yeah. Zeitgang, let us know. Thoughts on Yellowstone?

Starting point is 01:15:06 track is called Nouveau Western and I really like the track because it there's a sample of Serge Gainsbourg's Bunny and Clyde in it if you're familiar with Serge Gainsbourg great track but that is turned into a beat and it's like from the early 90s French rap but it's Nouveau Western and I felt like perfect for what we're talking about.
