Good morning, everybody. Good morning. Oh, boy. Good morning, Mr. Bat. Tim's here. It's 20 to 7 a.m. And he's feeling pretty shit. But he's here.

He's got a cool, sick voice. You're not feeling well? I'm fine. I've just finished about three months of touring doing stand-up. And I think my body went, cool, you're done. Here's all the germs we've been hiding from you. Yeah, yeah. We've been.

And that's nice of this. Or maybe. Isn't it sometimes? Maybe, Pallavi. Maybe my poisoning has extended to other people in my field. Pallaby steps in for Miles when he's out and also is responsible a lot of the times for Miles being out either with a poisoning campaign. Burning down his house.

She burned his house down. I think we all kind of suspected that. That was me. That was me. I did it to Miles and Spencer Pratt exclusively. These are things you have to do to get ahead in comedy these days, though. I know. That's just a girl getting her back, and you cannot prevent that from happening.

Yeah. How do I prevent this guy from talking so that I can talk more on this episode? Poison him. Somehow get to New Zealand and poison him. I'd be impressed if you could pull up some light arson here in New Zealand. Yeah, it's kind of moist over there, right? Yeah, we're moist, we're moist boys. Moist boys.

wet boys. The wettest is like trying to start a fire. Like me trying to start a fire anywhere, but yeah. It's like Jack trying to start a fire. It's like me trying to start a fire. It sucks. He's too stupid. Give him two sticks.

He'd just bang them together. Jack didn't start the fire. He tried real hard, but he was real bad. But he's dumb as fuck. This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed human. Get rewarded. just for shopping with Simon Plus.

They're a production of Iheart radio. This is a podcast. Are you mocking me? This is a podcast where you take a deep dive into America's share consciousness through the day's news. We also have a new non-news history version of the daily Zykeyes drop it each Monday morning where you do a deep dive into the

zeit guys through the lens of a different icon. Last week we did Anna Wintour and yesterday we did Steve Jobs. We're going the people with corporate power for these past two weeks. I said Anna Wintor was the CEO. Apparently not technically a CEO, Steve. These will be the only like corporate people. The CEO of fashion. That's right.

She's my CEO. But like some of her jobs that they eventually gave her. we're like firing the entire staff of Pitchfork. It feels very CEO-ish, you know. That's so wild. It's like Anna Wintour and fashion as a little domino, and then Drake's new album getting shit on. He has.

He like tried to start a beef with Anna Wintor. He got really mad at her. He's mad at everyone. He's just fueled by spite. Steve Jobs fueled by stinkiness. Did you know that guy was a stinky, stinky man? I would not be surprised if, He did not believe in showering.

He did not believe in shower. Polavi, you are going to be wildly unsurprised because he did not believe in showering. He ate. He would only eat a single food for like three weeks at a time. He would be like, all right, for now until I can't stand up straight, I will be eating only carrots and lemon juice and not showering. And another thing that he did was he liked to soak his feet in the toilet.

Oh, my God. Like, he soaked his feet on. Okay. Okay. You've never done it. Okay. White people are crazy. If he was still alive, I feel like he would be like the Department of Hygiene head.

Under the Trump administration. Yeah. Yeah. It's a wild. It's a wild listen. Check it out. Those episodes drop on Mondays. They have icon in the title.

It is Tuesday, May 19th, 2026. My name is Jack O'Brien, A.K. I got, I got, I got freezers, full, dead animals. I'm junior RFK. Cocaine toilet seat, got rogue kill meat. I'm junior RFK. I'm a scandal, wealth, infusion, because I'm junior RFK. Now I must know teenage sperm flow, because I'm junior RFK.

Born right into this, became like this with zero introspection. Education miscreate this griff. The zoo was my obsession. I don't think things out. Brain worms blocked out when I see a whale that's dead. I cut off his fucking head. That's because I got, I got, I got, I got that is courtesy of New Chris and Snarfield on the Discord, a little DNA.

RFK Jr. Mix up. That's incredible. Thank you for submitting. Thank you for resubmitting. I just had to be in the right place to attempt it. I needed our guest to say, Jack, can we get the energy up a little bit here to feel up to the task?

But thank you to New Chris. And Snarfula, very prolific AKA writers for dropping a bangers. Also, hey, I have a job for AI. When I write Snarfula's name in notes, and I've already written that name 20 times in that exact note, don't change it to sinful. Maybe learn from the other words in the doc. Are you just asking AI in general, like any AI, like AI out there? Just like they've given it the job of like taking everybody's jobs and done nothing, given us fucking nothing.

It's me, Margaret. Yeah. I feel like it could be used for good. Maybe it is being used in some places for good, but not. Not here. Here, my phone is getting dumber. And I said Siri call. I was driving.

I said Siri call and then my wife's name. and called somebody that I haven't spoken to in seven years with my wife's name. Maybe this is who you mean, probably. To reconnect to community. And that is what AI's fucking five chess moves ahead of me. Maybe I should shut the fuck up. All right. And I'm about to do that because I'm going to introduce in our second seat,

a hilarious stand-up comedian, writer, actor, improviser, who's not above Poisoning Miles, but that is, I don't think what has happened in this case. It's Polonium, Polybighunelan. I am not following up a Kendrick verse with anything, but I am here. Hello. You are. We're thrilled to have you here.

I am. I also just ate oatmeal and have a little piece hanging in my throat. Are you feeling a little bit poisoned, Jack? What's going on? I don't know what's going on in my throat. Immediately go Joffrey Purple. Me and Tim take over. Without missing a beat.

You just don't even mention it as they die in my seat. I believe in us. We could do this. You guys are like, we can fix this in post, right, Justin? All right. Moving forward, Paul Vee, so wonderful to have you here. Wonderful to be here. I, why are you already laughing?

Because I just left an awkward pause. You always do. that to me. I like to leave you dangling out there. That's how I'm going to carry this pod. Yeah, call me a Michael Jackson baby. I am dangling. Was that blanket?

I forget. I think that was blanket. Paul Vee, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of our faves, a multiple award-winning comedian podcaster, producer, who co-hosts the podcast, the worst idea of all time with Guy Montgomery, where they method review movies by watching them over and over and over again. I believe they just came to the end of Joker 2.

Congratulations. The fucking harrowing. Amazing. He's been touring Australia and New Zealand with his new show, Eternal Optimist. Welcome back to the show, The Hilarious and Talented. It's Tim Bad! Thank you so much. Do you know?

How's that energy, by the way? That energy was immaculate. People might not have got this because it was pre-My. But what Jack was referring to before is I told Jack that he was, I can't take the producer hat off. I haven't worked in radio in a decade now. Can we get that? Like, Jake, we're going to need to get that hype dial, just to lead,

and scratch to the left. Turn the mic up. It was a great note. That's right. Turn me up in my headphones. Go ahead. So worst idea of all time, the achievement for which I am best known, which I started with my friend Guy Montgomery in 2014, we started by watching grownups two, 52 times in a

year, just reviewing it once a week, every week for a year. Oh my God. grown-ups three has been officially announced by Netflix. It is like in production, I think. I don't think they're wrapped, but I think it's in production right now. And I made a promise on our podcast that if they ever made grown-ups three, I would watch it for two years.

For two years. I'm getting a lot of listener mail reminding me of this promise I made. Wow, that's a vow. And it's not just emails, it's like a piece of paper with letters cut out of magazines. I'm getting picked you up. You're fucking better. You picture of you with the eyes crossed out. Yeah.

Grownups three. Because, so they are grown up in the first couple. But like, what about now? You know, even more grown up? Well, apparently the story centers around one of them dying, which in some ways is the most grown up you can be. That is the most grown-up thing that can happen. Yeah, that's pretty adult.

Who do we think it is? If we had to take bets. So it's Adam Sandler. I hope it's Schneider for sure. This is how they're going to make sure that Schneider is not in the film, but they can still have sort of a reference to him. Maybe chuck him 25K and put a photo of him in a photo frame. Just shoot him into the sun.

Yeah. He's just like, oh yeah, look at that. He just shot directly into the sun. And exploded a fireball. There's just a fedora left in his photo. So Sandler, Schneider, Rock, and Kevin James. That's the four. And David Spade. Don't forget, the great power for David Spade. Yeah, but he's not fully grown up. He'll never grow up. And we love him for it.

So of the films that you've method reviewed, as he call it, you've now come to the end of another one, Joker 2. Yeah, we've only method reviewed a couple times. That's kind of a different thing. So that's what we did with Joker 2. where we moved into a comedy club so that we could enter the world of Arthur Fleck. But it turns out none of Joker 2 is about comedy. It's about prison. Right. And we didn't know that.

Or you would have gone to prison. Well, I mean, isn't that the essence of comedy? Yeah. It's just a mental prison. Yeah, that's true. Is there one that you feel like you've learned the most from that had the most levels that revealed themselves as you kept watching these movies?

you've done one of the Sex and the City films, you've done grown-ups two, you've done Joker 2, what are the other films that you've watched to the point of absurdity? What a beautiful question. We've done both the Sex and the City movies. We've done all of the Emmanuel soft-core pornographies

because there's like 50 of them. We did We Are Your Friends, which was a DJ movie. I always forget about that one. That might be the one I've seen the least of all that. And I haven't seen any of the movies that you've done, but I've seen that one the least, I think. To your question, I think there's something about the Sex and the City 2 movie for a year that it was just so intolerable.

The movie is so long and offensive. And to like both my intellect and my dignity and just culture at large, that tested me. Okay, just say you're like a misogynist, okay? And just move on. If you don't understand a high art when it's made by women, To put it another way, too many fucking broads in that movie. Come on, man. Give me a grown-ups

too. Give me grown-ups too. Just walk-to-wall dicks. That's right. Sausage factory. You're like Broad City, unique enough? Not enough broads in that city. What if more broads? Too many parts already.

Tim, we're thrilled to have you here. 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 basically talking about our guys, as you described. it before we started recording. We're going to talk about Donald Trump's alien distractions getting weirder and more desperate. There was the thing where he like launched a website.

It was like a product launch for the UFO file disclosure. He probably thinks UFO is just another crypto or something. Right. Yeah, yeah. It's like, how am I going to get rich off of this? Watch out. So we're going to talk about the latest, which is just like sending out AI generated images of him walking next to an alien in the middle of the night.

We're going to talk about Cassattel. It's just him and Stephen Miller. Sorry. Like, oh, wait, wait a second. We're going to talk about Cash Patel. There's some non-enebriated infractions for a change. This time, he went snorkeling at a living memorial and that people, at first I was like, oh, this must be a thing they offer in really bad taste, but not.

No, in fact, it is not a thing that they offer. He was just like, I'm going, I need to snorkel that. I need to get in there. And we're going to catch up with Cars for Kids, if you remember that jingle. Oh, my God. I'm, oh, I learned about that. 1-877 Cars for Kids. K-I-R-S Cars for Kids.

So I'm sorry to do that to you, but I can't, I can't not do it. It's like an enchantment. It's like a curse that somebody has put on me. But anyways, the truth about where those. cars were going and to what end has been revealed. To what ends? Very surprising. All of that, plenty more.

But first, Tim, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? I very recently searched copyright law plus UK. Oh. We're trying to get the copyright law changed in New Zealand. So pretty much every other English-speaking country in the world has a carve-out in their copyright laws to protect people for satire and parody. Like you guys have got it as part of your First Amendment, I think.

UK's got it, Australia's got it. The weird Alcarb out. Yeah. The reason we have weird Al Yankabakh. And we don't have it in New Zealand. So there currently is no like legal protection for comedians, satirists, commentators. They can get our ass through the copyright law at the moment. If for making a joke, jokes are illegal in New Zealand.

Yeah, they are currently. Welcome to the club, brother. Oh, man. It's kind of a fascinating thing because there's this, the way our parliament works is there's a couple different ways that laws can get mooted to get voted on. And one of them is we have literally a biscuit tin that MPs can put ideas for new laws in. And every now and then we'll just pluck one of them out and then we'll vote on it. And this got plucked out of the biscuit tin. This is not a real country.

I'm like, we're not real, but like that's not real either. It's a real biscuit tin that exists. That's so funny because like in India, in India, if you reach into the parliamentary biscuit tin, you pull out a sewing kit. So that's the only thing. Nobody's ever kept biscuits in a biscuit tin. That's all. Yeah. And sorry, I say.

Or parliamentary ideas. Yeah. Cookies. We say biscuits, cookies. cookies. Let me translate for my American family. So I'm going to I've put my name down to do an oral submission

to Parliament for the first time ever. So that'll be interesting if I get asked to do that. And I probably will. To the tune of Michael Jackson's beat it. I was going to do another Kendrick verse actually. Yeah, there you go. Oh yeah. Kendrick might come for my ass. I never even thought

about that. You're protected. This is what I'm telling you. It's so weird to know that the concept of weird Al is not allowed in New Zealand. People are trading Weird Al tapes on the streets of New Zealand. Yeah, he's like illegal there. Contraband. So bad. Is Weird Al known in New Zealand?

Is he beloved? Is he just regular owl? I think. Well, he does. I don't know. There's a New Zealand energy to the dude, I think. Oh, yeah. Because we're like quirky and nice.

And I think that's weird out. He's the quirkiest and nicest. I think I knew every word to his... Very flight of the concords. Yeah, definitely. I knew all of the words to the Star Wars American Pie. Am I this here Anakin guy? Yeah, yeah.

I knew all the words there before I was like 12, I think. Yeah. And I'm not even a Star Wars guy. I never have been. One of the kids in my fourth grade class, his talent for the talent show, was he just sat at a table eating things to eat it instead of being it. That's great.

Until he, like, made himself, saying basically. Weird L's going to be a sad one, huh? Don't, oh, why? Why would you do that? Oh my God. I like you witnessed the invention. Very sad one.

I like to you. I didn't think about that as a possibility. It might not be actually. He might be immortal. There's just still so many songs left. I honestly, like I, you know, when I was going through my like 20s and I was like comedy snob. I was like, we get it.

And now that I have kids who are obsessed with Weird Al, I'm like, what are you waiting for? You should be dropping an album every three months, man. You're like a Rihanna fan. You're like, where the fuck is the album, Weird Al? Put it in the bag. Yeah. We're all waiting.

What is something you think is underrated? Oh, you got to leave those emails alone for a bit, baby. Just walking away from the. inbox. I think we've all gotten into a zone of like you've got to stay on top of the emails. I think I've, in fact, let me check. I've currently got 5,054 unread emails in my Gmail inbox. No. I'm not carrying that round. I'm not carrying that way because I've decided not to not worrying about it. Walk away. How? How do you like, but aren't you like, I can't? Because then I think about the number. Because then I have to think like, what number is like, did I miss an email? If it's

5,001, do I have to keep track of that number now? You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't tear it out. I think mine, my baseline now is probably about 5,000. But I remember it being 3,000 and it wasn't that long ago. So I don't know if the system's working too well. Oh, my God.

But you just got to like, we got to get used to walking away from the devices and just not stressing about it. It's too much. It is too much. We're all going to die one day. No one's going to be weird out. Yeah. Well, you're correct. Except for Weird Al Yankovic.

Thank you. But no one's going to be paying attention to how many unread emails you got in that inbox. Things will sort themselves out. If something's urgent, you know, they'll find you. They'll figure it out. I've got like 30 unknown emails from life insurance companies being like, you should really protect yourself. I think people are going to start going back to like landlines too because everybody's like

upset with the digital age and like people, they're like reinventing like the iPod nano again like we're moving backwards basically out of necessity for our brains so I think people are more people are going to get landlines and stuff too I'm here was this what did it with did we fuck up here or just like one undoing one step at a time yeah let's go backwards slowly the landlines are are a thing like kids are getting these things called tin can phones that it's like instead of having a smartphone you get your cat tin can phone they can call their friends whenever they want, but it like only has a certain handful of numbers that you can call and that can call it. And it's not a thing that puts you in touch with a like casino designed to control your child's mind, which is a crazy innovation.

I'm like I have one phone, one phone for like all my emergency contacts and then one phone for all of the car spam insurance calls that I get. And then, you know, you just separate it that way. Oh my God. Yeah. But I mean, email has been irrevocably broken. Like, it's just such a disaster at this point. So I'm with you, Tim. I'm with you.

What is something you think is overrated? People in charge of countries who don't drink. My prime minister, Chris Luxon, teetotaler. Donald Trump, teetotaler. I'm not here for it. Like, if you want to be sober as an adult, that's totally fine. I just think if you can't handle yourself on four beers, you should not be in charge of a country.

So they never drank? That is so funny. Are they never drank people? I know Trump never drank. Or is it like if Pete Hegseth were ever to get sober? Well, actually, that's a pretty good. That's a good counterfactual actually. Pete Higgseth certainly on so far on the other end of the spectrum,

it's like, okay. And also, you can drink too much to be in charge of things, obviously, as well. But we need to find a happy medium. like this was like a thing right where like presidents would be like people would want to vote for somebody they could have a beer with so it's like somebody who's like chill and normal George W. kind of won I think that first time off the back of that. Off of people thinking they can't beer with him even though they couldn't because he was

sober. Another good example of your. Oh, he didn't drink. He did he did go sober. Yeah. Yeah. I think he was sober after he got like a couple of DUIs that is like the ones that he went born again.

too. Yeah. Yeah, that'll wipe the slate clean. The ones that we know about. Imagine how much shit he did that got wiped clean by his dad while he was the head of the CIA. I know. I know. I just imagine like a succession like situation where like somebody died with him at the wheel.

A thousand percent. George W. Bush has, yeah, he killed multiple people before even approaching office. Yeah. before killing millions. Yeah. He was like, that was his resume. He's like, I've run over this people. This guy, I drove off a bridge and then give me Iraq, you know?

Truly, this is why you've got to put people in jail. You know, this is what accountability is like. Because if you don't get them early, all of a sudden, Iraq is toast. Right. And we can't have it. Yeah, I like your thing of like if they can handle their beer. Yeah, people who drink can't stop attacking the Middle East. Jesus.

This is what it's all about. It's like you've got to be able to handle yourself in a difficult situation, you know? Or like taking slightly too many drugs and being able to operate. Like if you have a half a cookie and then you wait for 30 minutes and you're like, well, that one didn't work. And then you have the other half and then they both kick in 15 minutes later. And then you're like in a theme park with some friends and you're like, okay, I've got to figure out how to not die now. That's leadership to me. That's a leadership quality.

So that's what I want to see. How do I get out of this fun house mirror? situation. Yeah, my mind is tearing itself apart. I've decided the universe is my own personal enemy and now I need to figure this out. Yeah, it's just RFK Jr's also one of these people

who, like, well, yeah, I guess RFK Jr.'s sober, but was like a heroin person. He has a brainworm. He's like a walking drug kid. He has a, I don't know, he has a brainworm. Like, that's more than any drug can do. We haven't tested the brain

worm for drugs either. Which we should. Maybe it's one of those, is it the worm that they put in tequila? Maybe it's one of those worms. Yeah, maybe it's just like solidified. Yeah. Yeah, I will say, I don't drink anymore. It's not from a lack of crying. Oh, shit. What was the incident?

What was the incident? Singular incident is a very fun, very kind of you. Plenty. It was plenty. But I will say, yeah, a lot of these people do not, make it look good is bad and if you are also largely abstained from alcohol

massive meth hit though yeah that's true he was flying on speed also true of like Trump yeah yeah also true of all the alcoholics in his cabinet you've got to throw an allegedly

in there somewhere you can't just come out saying stuff like that against your president come on man he's allegedly on suit it fed. For the record, Trump, big Zite gang member. That is commendable

that you are sober for your adult life that takes dedication and good decision making. I'm just saying we shouldn't hand you the keys to a whole national economy. That's all. And I disagree.

I disagree. I think I would nail it. Yeah. No, I think that's probably right. I'm a better president when I'm drunk. I'm better president. Yeah.

GDP's better on two and a half beers. I actually did drive better when I was drinking. I believed that at a certain point in my life. I believe that you believe. And that's why I don't drink anymore because that's where my brain was at. I was like, no, I'm like really good. Actually, I'm really careful and good at driving. I feel like we counteract the drinking thing because we just let our presidents have dementia.

So that's kind of, you know what I mean? Like they are impaired. Yes. Oh, my God. the most impaired. They couldn't be more impaired. And that was satire, which is illegal where Tim is

so you can go and get him if you want. Forget Tim. Allegedly. Let us take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about some of these human monsters. We'll be right back.

We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend.

But this one's extra special. So how did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was...

This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends, me and hilarious guests from Jim Gaffigan to Bob Odenkirk

We do have to hold our breath during. I almost died just then. Yeah, we aren't allowed to breathe. We went to the break saying get Tim and Tim almost passed out. Hmm. Paldi knows what she's doing. So things aren't going well for our guy. No peace deal in sight with Iran. His approval ratings are below Jimmy Carter lows below. They just reached new lows for him in this term. A new Times Siena poll said 37% approve of what he's doing. Two thirds of voters said that going to war, has been the wrong decision, including almost three quarters of politically crucial independence. I think it was the wrong decision. So he knew what he had to do.

He went on social media and started sharing AI images of himself, commanding some kind of interstellar space force war. There's one where he's seemingly launching a nuclear strike. And then there's another way he's walking next to an alien that is in handcuffs. but like they look like they're very chill with one another, you know? That is a hot alien, too. Can I say that? Yeah, shredded. It's like how the Catholic church depicts Jesus where he's like.

And also the Messiah was fucking tasty, just so everyone knows. A little bit of a snack up there, you know what I'm saying? About to get a taste of that snack with his communion. The image is very straight. Like it just looks like it's out of a Michael Bay. film. The AI or whoever generated the image did the smart thing of like having their fingers in the picture. So it seemed like someone was like, oh, God, I got to snap this picture real quick. Oh, you're right. Donald Trump and an alien is like walking towards me, which is a nice touch.

And I think it might have fooled him. I think that might be why he shared it. God, you've just presented a possibility I didn't have that he actually believes this photo was like Trump saw this photo of Trump with an alien was like. like, oh yeah, that's right. I forgot that that happened last Wednesday. I should post about that. That's real. And also, he's a member of MS-13 this alien.

Right. He, I, that is a big question that I have, is how much, because like he posted that video that was a Fox News clip that was reporting on how he had released med beds, which are this like conspiracy theory of like a

capsule that like you lay down in and it keeps you alive for eternity, essentially. And it was just a AI, you know, generated fake Fox News report. And people are like, oh, look, he's trying to fool us. And I'm like, I don't know if he was. I think he might have bought that. I think he might have seen that and been like, we're doing great things, folks. Look at us. I think there's just such a strong predilection towards not wanting to accept that someone so very stupid could be in such a high position. But I think that is the reality. And I think we're just trying to like mental gymnastics our way out of thinking,

no, he's actually a villainous super genius who successfully manipulated all of us. It's like, I think he's kind of fucking dumb. And I think the system rewards a certain specific kind of incredibly confident stupidity. And if you can just at no point show any contrition or kind of thoughtfulness, the system will reward that because they're like, hey, this guy's so confident. He's so confident. Certitude. Certitude.

Like, we love certitude. We love somebody to just seem like they 100% confident in the decision they've just made. Yeah. And I, like, totally know what stertitude means. And I am fully aware and, like, very confident in it. And I also think that that's true on the other side where, like, all the MAGA people are like, Yeah, no, he's going to war for a reason. Like, I don't know what it is, but it's good.

Like, we think it's like the villainous version and they're like, he's good. He knows more than I know. Right. Yeah. I mean, respectfully, how dumb do you have to be to be like, no, no, no, I don't fully understand, but this guy fully understands. This guy gets it. No, he's fucking doesn't.

No. He's 80 years old and he's got dementia probably. I think that's like literacy and critical thinking in any area. like people online are spreading misinformation because they assume the people who post it have more knowledge than them but simultaneously will like question like scientific expertise and stuff you know what i mean like it's just not being able to not only not parse AI but also not understand like who's giving you the information where the money is coming from cars for kids and also like who's like benefiting you know so i think it's like a whole critical i i think like homeschooling

and Zoom and like weird evangelical Christian education has like really fucked over our ability to understand what's like Bible stuff and what's like MAGA stuff and what's like real shit. And now they're even ruining fun stuff. Like what's so annoying about this is aliens and UFOs is that's fun conspiracy stuff. And he's even poisoned the well of that now, which is so fucking annoying because it's like, no one's ever believed in, you know, well, the bits of the internet I hang out on. You watch your mouth. No one's ever fully backed the American president since JFK got shot in the head.

But like aliens and UFOs, that was like a fun, interesting conspiracy theory to dig through. And you would have whistleblowers and little grainy videos to pour over. And there'd be like one new one every three years. And all the nerds would analyze it frame by frame. And now they've even like flooded the zone. of that and politicized it and it's like, fuck you guys, man. Let us have our conspiracy theories

at least. There's this article You're like swiping on hinge. You see like an alien that's like not a political. You're like, you're like, uh, swipe left, gross. People just are so judgmental about my views as an alien. There's an article in New York

magazine this weekend that was getting passed around a lot called the feed is fake where it's all about just the number of people who are using, like, just artificial. I mean, it's stuff that we know exists, like astroturfing and, you know, hiring people to create clips of your videos or, you know, of like Nick Fuentes or somebody like that to make it seem like they have all this interest and then just artificially generating the appearance of, like, people giving a fuck.

And I- Okay. Stop eviscerating stand-up comedy, please. There's definitely some stand-up comedy. It's really huge in music, apparently. But I do think we're just uniquely, I don't think we're uniquely dumb. I think the system is,

we're in a uniquely bad time where nothing that is being put out there is not mediated by somebody trying to, like, make money off of it or advertised to you. Like, everything has, that component to it. And then we've completely lost journalism. Like journalism went away at the same time that that was happening.

And like critics kind of went away or like they're still there, but instead they're on the same level as like a comment section of people complaining about a movie. And so we just like don't have a way to know like what to like take seriously. You know, it's just like the entire system of information has just. gone completely upside down. And it is just like a complicated, weird media environment for people to like try to make sense of. And so kind of

like reading that article, it's makes more sense that shit like this just gets through people's filter because they're just like exhausted. You know, it's just like a non-stop process of being pelted with bullshit all day. Simi related to this. I was having a conversation with a friend yesterday about Burning Man. And I didn't know, because I haven't been but I didn't know like advertising is banned while you're there like people will put tape

and stickers over logos on their car and things like that so you are just completely devoid of advertising for the time that you're there. I went in like 2013 but I like didn't see any advertising which was nice. Yeah and I've heard that the process of coming back into you know typical American life wherever you're from is hectic because suddenly it's big fucking LED billboards shining Big Macs at you again. I mean, you're gone to like a week. So it's not like that crazy. It's also like now it's like filled with like tech bros.

So like I feel like they want to be like, it was culture shock for me. But like they're all, it's just like the same, you know, group from Google that's like going and doing a camp there. But yeah, it's definitely different and it's like more welcoming. and like there's more art and stuff and it's yeah i would love to get some like ad-free zones like a demilitarized zone and right every day life it's just like hey ads are banned in this park forever you know you're not allowed anything that is attached to a corporation or a money-making venture to be on display here but that's what kind of national parks felt like until they stopped

like funding for them you know and they're starting to like roll it back yeah national parks are going to look like NASCAR races pretty soon. I do, I was pitching the idea of a reverse rum springa where, you know how like in, um, exchange program. Yeah, yeah, like how they send people out into the wicked world of like modern technology and stuff. How like, the Amish. Yeah, the Amish. I was going to say, send them to an Amish village. Yeah, we just got to like send one of ours to the Amish village to live with them. But I've been seeing a lot of Amish on TikTok, and I'm like, are they on Rumshringa? Or like, what, how is this happening?

That's sad, huh? That's like the last uncontacted tribe, you know, getting the flu from the U.S. But also, like, I used to volunteer at the Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh, and, like, there's a lot of, like, Amish in Pennsylvania. and they would still like not to blow up their spot but they'll never hear this but they would like if they had a kid like a baby that was sick they would like bring the baby to the hospital because they know like they knew like shit was real and they like needed help but they would like all it would be like 50 people for one baby and they would all stay silent and they wouldn't like I'd offer a coffee or whatever and they like wouldn't take it or anything but they knew like

I need to bring my kid here for because like shit's real um so they're like I think it's Great. Yeah, I think it's really good for them to like take it seriously. Yeah, it's the right amount of detachment from technology where it's like I won't let it infiltrate my life for frivolous reasons. So it doesn't get in the way of me plowing the field 18 hours a day with my kids. But if someone gets hyper sick, I'd better go to the big mystery gray box in the city, get them to inject their chemicals into my boy. Got to get back to putting up the 15th barn.

I think it was on a call about what we should call it and well we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers was this is how you guys remember it going down yes I have a very different memory of this we were talking about a thing a bit for the podcast

people could call in and say hey Jonas and then I wrote down on my little notepad hey Jonas and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen.

Cash Patel went snorkeling at Pearl Harbor Wargrave of USS, Arizona. So this is one of the ships... We live in like the worst timeline. That is a fawked headline, man. That's not good. It's amazing.

One of the ships bombed during Pearl Harbor considered a wargrave since it still holds the remains of more than 900 sailors and marines. and they usually don't let people even like wear swim suits to the like out of respect for the people who died. They are like, you can't just show up from the beach in your swimwear. Quote barbs visitors even from wearing swimwear at the memorial. Last summer, Patel was escorted by Navy SEALs to go on a VIP snorkel trip at the tomb with nine other people. and I was like, this must be something they offer.

One Navy veteran called the trip horrifying, liking it to playing kickball on top of the graves at Arlington. Which he has also done. Allegedly. He's like, ooh, that's a good idea. That sounds sick. I have a question, which is like a side quest. So they've counted the like 900 people who are still there in the ship,

but they can't take them out? I guess not. I guess it's too deep. I don't know exactly. Or maybe they just want to leave them at peace as part of their military duty. They do just like bury people at sea when they die on a, or they used to, just like bury people at sea when they would die on a military vessel. Interesting.

In like World War II. But yeah, people have reportedly snorkeled at the site before, but those are people who were trying to get insight into the memorial and its operations. like people who worked there. Not it's like he's like going. Or like research purposes. Right. Yeah.

And he's like not for like sick fucking pictures and shit. Yeah. Anyways. So that's just something a little bit more in case you're feeling all right. You're like well, maybe it's just this Trump guy. Maybe it's just these teetotelers. It's interesting that Cash Patel is still in the job. Because a lot of people during his tenure, even though it hasn't been that long, have been

swapped out. And Trump, he swaps people out all the time. And Kash Patel has screwed up a bunch of things. It's mostly been women who've been swapped out. Right. Also, what are you saying? Are you saying Indian people can't fail upwards? Or in this case, fail into the sea?

Is that what you're saying? That is exactly what I'm saying. It's what I've been saying. Every appearance that I make on the Daily Zy Ghost and people frequently write in and tell me I'm being horribly racist. You've got to stop saying that, dude. But he's screwed up multiple operations himself, it seems, by revealing information too quickly while an investigation's still going on. Popping on Twitter being like, we got him.

Yeah. But so has Pete Hagsath. Like, I think Cash Patel, like, I think Pam Bondi fell on. Or was it Pam Bondi who fell on the Epstein file sword? And then, like, I think he just, like, fired women this time around. And then he's like, well, we can handle not firing the others right now. Yeah, he's really cash. Cash is a survivor.

The thing you got to understand about Cash is he's a survivor. What? He probably just kept him for his name. What happens to these guys when this ends? Because the administration like Tops is over in what, two and a half years now? What happens to Cash? They literally go on dancing with the stars. I'm not even kidding.

They write books and they go on dancing with the stars. And like the mask singer. Rudy Giuliani was on the mask singer You're right I think there's a world where that happens I also think there's a world where they are prosecuted that like I think people are I think people are at that point right now

That they're just like we need to take these motherfuckers down Wouldn't we see more of that That attitude now if that was the possibility I think we like there's been a bunch of viral stories About people like commencement speakers At college speech like booing people Like, I think the energy is there. Like, we saw a glowing response to someone murdering a CEO in cold blood, like, last year.

Like, we, I think the energy is there. There's just not the institutional ability. And, like, there's just the inertia is all going in the direction of, you know, we just, this is business as usual. And we don't, like, attack our own. And, like, you know, it's all politics. But I think people are pretty fucking furious. And there's definitely the political. will to see these people prosecuted, I think.

I also think, like, individuals are just fucking exhausted. Like, the people can't rise up if they're trying to, like, pay their bills. You know what I mean? Right. It's like there, I think what, like, if we have time to recover, I think maybe there will be, like, repercussions in the future if we can, you know, have, like, deal with the institutions. But right now, people are just trying to, like, survive.

Yeah. It is crazy how much everything comes back to unions. like just if we can get a more unionized workforce going to, you know, institute more humane working conditions, better pay for people so they can actually survive day to day. And you've got this representative body, you know, considering your interests and going, hey,

maybe we should be pressuring these guys to get prosecuted at some point. Maybe if there were any consequences whatsoever, you know, maybe that would be worth looking into. Yeah. Anyways, you had a nice little swim. It's a nice little swim And at some point They're not too dissident

Who have a lovely little dance on CBS With some hottie That's right All right And finally So cars for kids Do you are Tim

I'm assuming this did not make it over No this one This was like an anthem for us It's like an advertisement Where it's a bunch of kids Singing in a Band To a very catchy jingle that was holding

like holding instruments to act like they're like playing it there's something like weird where the kids seem like they might have a gun being trained on them from off camera like you know there there's just like

kind of too close like literally all of us growing up until now right like it's still running it's been on it is the longest running ad that I know of like it's that and there's also that old like Cadbury cream eggs ad where like you see the bunny hop away and it's like shit out the cream eggs you know you know

that one and like you can actually like see the grain on the film in that one yeah and they still run it every once in a while i feel like that and cars for kids are the only ads that they've just been like we're gonna let this one ride folks for like decades essentially but basically it's like this you watch it and you're like oh like they want us to donate our old cars so they can like sell them for parts or whatever and give the money to like underprivileged kids. Yes. It seems like a fairly straightforward packs right off and so you donate your car. You donate your car your old car instead of like having it scrapped or whatever you take your old car and instead of you know selling it for $2,000 you give it to cars for kids they are able to like you know do whatever they do with it to you know make money

off of it. And then that money goes to kids. What you think are underprivileged children. And I feel like this is the point in the story when you say, however, what is the however? So those ads are now banned in California, not because the jingle is the oral equivalent of getting a root canal from a bunch of theater kids, although it is kind of that. Although it's like a little bit more catchy than a root canal. It does just like dig into your head you can't really let you get rid of it. It began with a lawsuit from a guy who donated his Volvo, believing that it would go to underprivileged children.

But Cars for Kids primarily funds a New Jersey-based Jewish organization, URA, and they provide a number of programs, including trips to Israel for teens as old as 18, summer camps in New York, plus an adult matchmaking service. Not to mention that they spent $16.5 million to buy a building in Israel. And they also spend a shocking amount on

those ads. So it's like an Orthodox community, right? Yes. And they are basically like let's give this like these well off kids. Isn't it Lakewood, New Jersey? Mm-hmm. Lakewood. They're like

pretty well off. Let's like reinforce their ties to Israel through birthright and like also and so they can go there and like marry Israeli people. or like get, you know, into Israeli culture more or like let's matchmake them with other probably well-off Jewish kids. Right.

It's, it has nothing to do with what you think your money is going for for like after-school programs. We didn't say the kids were needy. We just said that there were kids somewhere. It sounds like there might not even be kids. But some of them are teens and adults. And so, yeah, adult matchmaking. So Cars for Kids defended itself against claims that it's a. front by stating that they're up front about it, but there isn't time to go into it in a 60-second

description on the radio or TV. And they also said they defended the fact that some of their funding goes to Israeli real estate and programs for lonely adults by stating, helping children often means engaging parents and families as well. So literally anything could be seen as helping children is never bank down yeah i'm guessing part of the reason why the jingle is such an airworm and i say this as someone with uh cars for kids virginal ears i have not been sullied by the jingle yet but is it super repetitive is it like three lines again and again yeah and it's like it seems like it's just a slightly reorganized rewrite of like a children's like nursery rhyme you know you motherfuckers do have time you got there's a lot of time in a commercial you made a decision

to deprioritize, letting us know this was going to Jewish matchmaking services. Right. And instead, just hammer the name, Casper Kids again. Yeah. It's also not just for all Jewish kids. It's for this specific neighborhood. Yes. Of, like, pro-Israeli Jewish well-off families.

Yes. Call it Kasfer Kabuts or something. Just change the name. Yeah. I mean, well, when you explain this whole. thing. People are like, it sounds like you're being anti-Semitic, but it's like, no, this is like what is actually

happening. Yeah. That's what the thing does. Does anyone know if there's suffering any sort of repercussions of this? Like, is this a car for kids reckoning after however many decades of this jingle bang in everyone's head? Probably not. It's, I will say

they've been cut off from, like, they seemed to have one method and that was this ad, which they've had running in circulation. Like the children in the ad must be in their 30s at this point, I feel like. Yeah. You know, they've gone to college and graduated. Like, the idea that they're not allowed to show that in California has to hurt a little bit because they give 60% of the money that they make to the things that we just described.

And then the 30% remainder is just spent on putting that ad out, like buying ad space for that ad. of the administration our heads. Yeah. California truly is the EU of America, isn't it? Like, they're the ones who make all the early laws and a sort of like weirdly pro-consumer looking out for

consumer rights and stuff like that. And I feel like it does get... We're a liberal hellhole. Yeah, so I gather. It is a good point that, like, that could just be like one less repetition of the same song over and

over again and read the, Like, have you seen every medication commercial ever in the United States? Like, they have the ability to describe, like, the kinds of diarrhea that will kill you if you take this medication, you know? And call me old-fashioned or woke, if you will, but I kind of think there should be an obligation for the ad to tell you a little something about what the thing is that you're contributing money to. You'd think so. But, I mean, honestly, that's on us. We didn't ask too many questions. We just liked the jingle.

I thought the kids were going to get to drive the cars. That's what I was into. I thought they'd get more fake instruments. That's right. I mean, they can, the way they work that standing base, or not standing base, the way they work that electric base, I feel like they could definitely drive a car. That would be such a funny, if that was the actual legal determination, that the ad is banned in California because the ad suggests that these underprivileged kids are going to get to drive these clangers.

and none of them are being put behind the wheel. I want that kid from the ad, the little blonde-haired boy, to drive a car. He gets my VALV. If he doesn't get my 89 Volvo, then I'm suing your ass. That's right. Well, Tim, such a pleasure having you, as always, on the Daily Zike guys. Where can people find you, follow you, see, you, all that good stuff? Please, follow me on Instagram.

I've decided Instagram is the one I'm going to back. It's taken me many years to come to the... decision. I've looked at all the options on the menu and I've thought, you know what? Let's go Instagram. It seems to be one of the least bad currently. So Tim Bat, B-A-T-T-N-Z. That stands for New Zealand because that's where I'm from. Tim Bad N-Z on Instagram. I had a clip of stand-up go a bit viral recently, which was real nice and it's netted me thousands of new followers who I'm hoping aren't bots. And even if they are. You know, at least. They're welcome to.

They're welcome to. They're kind of nice sometimes to just be like, really great question. You're not a bot, are you? Oh, that's a really great question, Tim. You're so perceptive. Thank you for asking. You're a genius. Full stop.

Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying or just your Instagram, basically? My own Instagram. I was going to give a shout out to Vegas, Matt, just because he's popped up in my algorithm for my reels so much. And I actually don't want to platform it because it's, kind of a bad genre of social media, but I don't know, man. There's something in my brain that enjoys watching these people at the casino just blowing through $15,000 on three hands of blackjack.

I don't know where the fuck this guy's getting us money from, but Vegas Matt sucks at gambling and has access to so much money. It's great. It's just another clip of this, I don't know, he looks like maybe 50-year-old. guy from the Midwest, I'm guessing, who's at another Vegas casino, just throwing $5,000 chips at a dealer and absolutely blowing it. And there's just something that tickles me about it. Amazing. Palavi, such pleasure having you. Where can people find you? And is there a work in media you've been enjoying? I'm at Paula Viginalin, P-A-L-A-V-I-G-U-N-A-L-N everywhere. I run two comedy shows monthly,

one at the comedy store, facial recognition comedy. Our next one is on the 22nd this week. And then I also run second screen's comedy at the Elision. We'll be at the vault next month. There's a smaller room on the 28th. I've just been watching the Kevin Hart roast over and over

again, just back to back to my just really, really excited about it. No. I did watch like a lot of, I haven't been on here since it came out, but I did watch a lot of, like, black creators making fun of the Kevin Hart roast, and it gave me life. Like, there was, um, underscore I am Jamila, who I can't repeat some of the stuff, she said, but it's just so, like, she did like a satirical version of it,

and it was beautiful. It was great. So go look that up. Check that out. Wonderful. You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien, Blue Sky. Jack Obey, one, uh, Instagram, Jack underscore underscore Brian because I have not chosen one. I'm just blindly casting about with three different usernames. Some works of media I liked. I like to tweet by Roni Vair, which I guess is a play on BoniVare. Oh, that's my friend. Yeah, his name as Ronnivir. Ronwi is also R-O-N-N-U-I underscore.

So somebody tweeted, physicist Mikio Kaku, suggest dark matter isn't matter at all. It is gravity leaking from a parallel dimension. And Ron tweeted, thank you. I will adjust accordingly. I'm so glad I found that out. And then Bob Golan tweeted, I've never found a windshield wiper setting that truly satisfied me. Yeah. I feel like we have the same timeline, Jack. These are all very satisfying tweets that I see as well. Yes. These are tweets that I enjoy. You can find us on Twitter and Blue Skagit. at Daily Zekegeist. We're at The Daily Zekegeist on Instagram.

Which is where we link off to the information that we talked about in today's episode. We also link off to a song that we think you might enjoy. When Miles is out, we like to ask producer Justin. Justin, is there a song that you think that people might enjoy? Yeah, this is a song called Moka by a Japanese band named Maverick Mark. The technical proficiency of every member of this band is off the charts. It's complicated jazz rhythms, very funky, bass plucking, intricate drum patterns. The falsetto on the vocals is Godtier. If this isn't a theme song to a mind-blowing anime already, it probably will be soon.

So this song, again, is called Mocha. That's M-O-U-K-A by Maverick Mom, and you can find that in the footnotes. Footnotes.
