And it was like the best roast I've ever witnessed. It was like unedited.

So I don't know if the uneditedness of it makes that like a harder bar to clear or not, because I got to see all the dead air, all the awkwardness in between jokes, but it was still so good.

It's good to be here. Thanks for having me. Yeah, it's great to have you.

Where are you in the country? I am in New York. Okay. New York. I am in New York. I know this does not look like a New York City apartment. I know, damn. We are on Zoom.

I just moved to, I just leveled up, my friends. Wow. Yeah, for sure. Yeah, I mean, it looks bigger in the Zoom than it actually is, but, you know, I shouldn't have said that. I should have just let you believe what you believed. And really, how it looks in the Zoom is all that matters, right? We're just living for the Zoom. Truly.

At this point. Truly. This is going to be human-to-human contact in about a year. Right. Absolutely. At the rate we're going. going to be human to human contact in about a year right at the rate we're going my favorite is when you get the room uh ready for the zoom but it's everything below the camera line that's just like oh my god like i'm just little boxes and shit like just below the camera the frame yeah yeah what like the what what's in front of me is actually because i just moved what's in front of me looks like the set to a very bare bones play you know what i mean yeah yeah it's just a table and chairs and no rugs no just

like paintings piled up in the back it's not good but this side of my apartment's done so yeah love it yeah yeah i feel like there should be a guy in a rumpled suit sitting in the chair, like just pushing his hair back, really worn down from life. Oh, so we're fading up from black? Yeah, exactly. Nervous guy. Just the silhouette of a man who's broken. Yeah, exactly.

His wife's gone and she took everything. I'll be right there! his wife's gone and she took everything yeah yeah right there yeah oh my god this is riveting riveting in this performance do you know what i would do to see jake paul do like a david mamet play i can't wait for the day this happens might as well get ready for that yeah yeah it's probably gonna happen and i'll probably be like good enough that it won't be as satisfying as we we want it to be right what happened with the boxing yeah here's the thing tiktokers have already like taken over comedy because people don't think comedy is a real art. So we're just clowns.

So they let the TikTokers do what we do, but I can't wait for the TikTokers to take over real art. You know what I mean? Where they go in and they do an actor's job and people are like, I mean, the actors are just like, I never, I can't wait. A lot of monocles falling out of eyes. They didn't know who Sandy Meisner was.

I don't believe this. And they booked. Oh, my God. They didn't know who Sandy Meisner was. I am scandalized. They watched a two-minute TikTok video about the Meisner method. And why it's flawed. Yeah, exactly.

Right. TikTok video about the Miser Method and why it's flawed. Yeah, exactly. They just gave you the hold on one second finger and then watch two minutes of TikTok and work fully caught up. They're like, yep, okay, got it. And then they're like bawling. You're like, how do they have this kind of control? I know. Just these teenage billionaires.

Doing a self-tape on their private jet. Yeah, yeah. All right, Rosebub, we are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners just a couple of the things we're talking about. We have a Sturgis update. We have some good news in terms of holding the Kraken lawyers accountable. We're going to talk about

the length of the perfect power nap. NASA has some opinions. All of that, plenty more. But first, Rosebud, we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? Okay, my latest search history is Jonathan Adler decor, which is essentially my search history every day is just interior decor

items that I cannot afford yet. And, you know, I like to use Google as a window into a future that I I'm nowhere close to. And I love to just, I love to like, take a walk through an apartment that I can't afford. Or, you know, a big thing for me during the pandemic was like real estate. I loved like looking at houses I couldn't buy. And obviously, I ended up just renting again. But I was picturing a whole new life for myself. I really was during the pandemic. I was like, I'm going to have a stable future because everything was out of control. So that is what I do. I just, when things feel out of control, I put all of my energy into my home and I like micromanage everything in it to the point where like my husband is like, I feel like I'm a guest at my house. I'm like, that's how I want you to feel. That is exactly how you should feel.

Welcome to our home, but my home. Yes. Don't touch anything. Don't touch anything. And please keep your belongings in this one closet and don't put them anywhere outside of that. God, I feel bad for him. Jonathan Adler, I realized who he was because I would always see the name and I was never able to connect to something until I was in Palm Springs at the Parker Hotel. And I know that he redesigned that hotel. And I was like, oh, OK, I see. I see the Adler vibes here yeah and yeah it's like

oh this pillow's a thousand dollars okay yeah yeah this pillow that just says xanax 500 milligrams right it's like it's just a pillow that's in the shape of a of a pharmaceutical and i'm like yeah no i i want that i don't know why I want that, but I want it. Yeah. It's a great conversation starter. Yeah. He makes pillows that are giant Xanax pills? Yeah. Yeah, he'll make a pillow that's like beaded. And it's just like, it's like got the Xanax logo on it.

And then like a certain, like whatever the dosage is. And for some reason, it's classy. I'm like, how did he make this look so classy? But then I realized to be a pill head, you have to have money. Right. So you have to have health insurance. Right.

That was like the whole thing with like, I just remember growing up, like starting from high school, there was like a set of rich kids who like, I was like, their coping skills was like, I need a Xanax. Right. I was like, what? I'm like, we're 17. And I'm like, what'd you was like, I need a Xanax. Right.

I was like, what? I'm like, we're 17. And I'm like, what you doing eating all them little blue footballs? Yeah. Yeah. They've got like a real housewives habit. Yeah. Yeah.

And like, that's like a big thing in LA. I feel like it's like hearing like, oh my God, I just need a Xanax. Like, you know, like we should sit down and talk about our needs and how they're not being met. But you know, whatever. Yeah. Or we could cry, you know, whatever. Yeah, or we could cry. You know, that could be the other option.

But no, no. Yeah, I did buy these though recently. I bought these like salt and pepper shakers that just say cocaine and heroin. Nice. I'm really proud of those. Are those from Jonathan Adler? No, they are from, oh, shit, man, it's a small business. I should know this one.

Just what I call cocaine and heroin. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's just, I actually got them from my dealer. He's got a side hustle where he just does interior design. So he's a hustler. Just do four shakes into a bent spoon of the heroin. You're good. I know.

It's funny because I'm 13 years sober and I truly I just love shit like this. Right. Right. Yeah. Pretending. Yeah. I'm sober, too. And I love that shit, too.

Didn't Hunter S. Thompson talk about like having a salt shaker of cocaine in the beginning of Fear and Loathing? Yes. Yes, he did. Yeah. So shout out to the drinkers of cocaine i like that he had it in a salt shaker like that was going to throw the police off from like just the drug chest that was right there was the back of his car yeah exactly yeah but that no don't worry about that that's salt i just have a happen to have a loose salt shaker back there. Yeah. Yeah. What is something Rosebud you think is overrated?

overrated was um having kids and i i say that as somebody that wants kids by the way i think i don't know that i want them i go back and forth about it like 17 times a day and because i yeah do you have kids no but i'm in that i'm in that process. I'm like, I want them. Yeah. Is the earth going to melt? Do I? But I want to raise somebody. I know. It's this weird thing where I'm like, I see like a kid with their parent walking down the street. And I'm like, I want that moment. But I don't know if I want that life.

You know? Right. moment, but I don't know if I want that life, you know? Right. Like, like I like it in, I like the picture of it that I'm seeing, like the snapshot, but I don't know about like hanging out with a kid all day like that. Even if they're your kid, I'm like, that's gotta get so boring. Cause like your worry, like what's the day look in like the nightmare scenario in your mind like what's that day look like but the nightmare is is like listening to their stories you know like every time every time like i used to be a nanny and when a kid tells you a story it's like listening to an old person's dream you're like what This is just the most rambling nonsense. I just and it's there's never a conclusion. It just goes on forever. And you're like, am I going to die before this is over? And and like and and I'm like, I like kids, too. That's the other thing. I like them. They're very funny, but they're never they're not clever they're just funny and so it's like

this kind of I don't know I think about that and then I think about just the nightmare of like being having to be the mom like I would love to be a dad but being a mom is like oh I would have to give up my career because it's just like assumed that I will. And and then like if you don't, you're a bad person. Like being a mom is has the reason why it's hard is the fact that you are pressured your entire life to be one as a woman. And then you become one and and people just forget about you like there's there's nine months where you're treated like a goddess and then the baby comes and you're just sacrificed to the gods like you're like it's like they lift you up yeah it's

like they lift you up they give you all the best treatment. And then the day comes where they're just like, and now we sacrifice you and you are just, your life just ends and you are just, you just disappear. And there's no like benefit. There's really not, there's just not enough help for moms, you know? Yeah. And I just look at that and I go like, ugh. And then, like, my best friend just had a baby and she sent me a picture of her tits. And I'm like, those are horrifying. Like, that's... Are they, like, inflated? They are just the most... I'm like, those things are terrifying like it's like

it's like looking at the fly or something it's like having a second pair of eyes you know what i mean when you look in the mirror your your nipples are staring back at you and it's i was like that is terrifying it's like not even sometimes. There's lumpiness. It's, yeah. Oh my god. And they're like veiny and it's like I'm like, whoa. You're on a schedule. You gotta get those things emptied out. Yep. She's just constantly emptying her tits. You got your bladder to worry

about. You got your tits to worry about. Then you got your kid's bladder to worry about. I'm just like, there's so much that, and I really enjoy like running my own life and doing what I want. And I've done it this way, you know, my whole life. So I just wonder, like, people assume that you'll enjoy being a parent. Like it's, there's no other job where people just so easily assume that you'll A, be good at it and B, enjoy it. And I'm like, how do I know that that's like, what if I won't regret not having them? You know what I mean? Like people are always just

like, oh, but you'll regret it. And it's like assumed that you'll regret it. But I'm like, but what if I just like don't. And what if I having them? And then that's. Yeah, exactly. I'm like, that's a way. And right now. Yeah, I would much rather regret not having kids than regret having them right i'll say that of course yeah right yeah and i don't i don't think that parents really regret having children i've never heard a parent regret it but i i'm just like what if they what if they do like i mean i doubt they would say it yeah yeah for sure you know yeah it Yeah, it gets like culty. Like my friends who had kids before me were just like, you got to have them. Like they really. And it's hard. I just found out last night at our live show that one of our guests thought I was stoned for the past five years because of how sleep deprived I am every time I'm on the show.

Oh, man. No, you're a stoner, right? Like that's. Right. Sober. how sleep deprived I am every time I'm on the show. Oh man, no, you're a stoner, right? Like that's, that's your thing. Like no, I've been sober for five years.

And that's why you're tired. Yeah. And then the stories are, the jokes are really bad. The jokes are hard. Oh yeah. Yeah. Stories aren't as bad.

Like, cause you're, there is like something about like everything you're, you're watching them kind of be formed from nothing. So you are really impressed like by every like brain development. You're kind of like, holy shit, you were so dumb.

So recently. Yeah. I mean, a newborn is useless. And then you see them. I can see why parents are like mind blown when they're, when they start to walk. Yeah, I mean, a newborn is useless. And then you see them. I can see why parents are like mind blown when they start to walk. Yeah. You know.

But yeah, we're still working on knock-knock jokes. And they're real bad. Yeah. The ones that they come up with on their own. That's why I kind of like when I interact with like my friends, kids or like nieces and nephews. I treat them like drunk people at a bar. Yeah. Like I don't waste too much energy putting much thought in on my response, but I'll respond.

Oh yeah. Really? You think that? And then I just kind of go back to my thing. They're like, yeah. Cause I'm like, okay,

why don't you prove it then? And then I'm going, then it's like low energy for me, but still an interaction there. And then someone comes like, you're so good with kids. I'm like, well,

I'm also, I have the intellect of a child too. Yeah. So I have a curiosity and i like to fuck around so i make it work but yeah there's also times you get caught of like a 14 minute just like recounting of how someone's lunchbox looked like theirs and you're like right yeah you're like oh that's what we were leading to this whole time oh okay all right i thought you're gonna, oh, that's what we were leading to this whole time? Oh, okay. I thought you were going to say your teacher is a drug dealer or something. I was really holding on. You have to have very, very low expectations, but I think that's one of those things that your brain naturally takes care of for you. I'm like, come on, kid. I work in development, man. What's going on here?

What's the show about? Show me the pitch. wrong yeah what's the show pitch yeah we have two kids that are like less than two years apart and like i had totally i had just like my brain had memory hold like all the difficult parts of the first one when the second one came along because yeah the your brain wants you to have more kids i guess and then also low expectations is yeah another way that you're just kind of there's also like i think that you hormonally i know that for women you there's a hormone that gets released that makes you forget the pain of childbirth yeah which is so fucked up i'm just like because i facetimed my best friend i don't know why she

did this but literally five minutes after she gave birth naturally wow Wow. She picked up FaceTime, which kind of shows you how traumatized she was. Yeah. Because she was just like doing what, like she had just had her baby. Okay. Right. And she picks up FaceTime and she goes, do not have a natural childbirth.

Which is the first thing she said. She goes, don't do it. Yeah. I thought I was going to die. And she's do it. Yeah, I thought I was going to die. And she's just like telling me how she thought she was going to die and how she just kept saying this is so fucked up. This is so fucked up over and over and over again to the doctors. And I was like, yeah, I mean, I'm there's no way I ever would have a natural childbirth. Like the second I find out I'm pregnant, I'm scheduling a C-section and an epidural.

But and they're going to be like, we can't even see this baby on an ultrasound. But start the drip. I don't care. Start the drip. Yeah. Yeah. Spinal tap now. Yeah.

I'm like, I want to feel nothing. Yeah. But she it's it sounds crazy. Like she's going to forget how much that hurt. And I'm like, that's so crazy because she was that she called you, though, so that you can remind her. Yeah. Well, I mean, I called her. She didn't. The fact that she picked up like I'm like, why did you pick up? Like she said, even her husband was like, what? Like the nurses and doctors were all looking at her like, why is she picking up a FaceTime? Right. Like, is she a CEO?

Like, what's going on? You know? Yeah. That's so funny, though, because people who have natural childbirths are usually like, it was so beautiful and like not as painful as you would think. And it's good to get the truth finally. Yeah. What is something you think is underrated? All right.

underrated. All right. Well, this is not going to be popular, but honestly, there's like a lot of anti-vaxxers out there that have great taste in supplements. This is, listen, they're insane. And I'm not talking about the ones that are taking livestock dewormers. Okay. Those are, that's another level, but there's people out there that are like oh you got to try this stuff like i'm not going to take their advice on anything else but their supplement taste they got good supplements okay they got they really and i didn't see this happening in our culture where like all of a sudden far right wing media consumers would be like super into like vitamin C. But I'm like, OK, I guess I guess they're into this stuff. And I've tried a couple.

I've tried a couple of supplements from them and it's working. OK, that's all I'm saying. My hair is growing faster. My nails are looking good. I'm'm like they're good at this but just get the vaccine for christ's sake you know what i mean like if you're gonna do it's like i don't get why they're like this hasn't this has we haven't tested this out or anything but then they're like downing these supplements that haven't been approved by the fda and i'm like well where's the the cognitive dissonance is like well it's like well if they knew the benefits that's why the fda won't approve it because then it's going to be you know in direct competition with like a big pharmaceutical company and that's why i know i i think we need to get

somebody in there that speaks like because we're talking about like tribal whites okay if we're talking about like the the people in like uh you know michigan that won't get the vaccine or whatever i i'm like this is we got to get somebody to talk to them who's like not a doctor you know what i mean who is like like dr pepper okay and like, get somebody who calls themselves Dr. Pepper to say that there's a supplement that where they just sneak the vaccine in. I don't know. I'm like, do we have to start sneaking this into things for people? I feel like one good fake TED talk with someone in like a white linen outfit who's like saying like they've completely given up on like western medicine and blah blah blah and then like seeds this idea i feel like

then people are like they're on to something right because it's such indoctrination yeah it's such indoctrination that i'm seeing and it's like it's crazy too because as performers you guys know like it's it's i had to cancel a gig because I was like, you know, are they doing, are they checking vaccine status? Or could they maybe do, like, a negative COVID test if there's a bunch of anti-vaxxers around, you know? Just so that we know that, like, they're not bringing COVID in. Like, I don't want to force anybody to do anything. I wish this wasn't a political conversation but i'm trying to like make my money and also be safe and it's just you can't because all of a

sudden you're like taking a stand about some political issue that really isn't political i don't want to get sick oh you don't want to get sick like some fucking communist you're like right what do you want to get sick yeah because i'm american you're like oh no what are you like i want the freedom to get sick yeah it's like okay i guess and get you sick which is the right yeah i want the freedom and i think there's like a lot of people that are that really just they don't want to be a part of the argument like i don't want to be in this argument at all i don't i'm not like i'm not a person who's like going on social and being like if you don't get the vaccine you're killing everybody i'm not saying any of that i don't think any i don't think that approach works but i also i'm just like i don't get the vaccine, you're killing everybody. I'm not saying any of that. I don't think any, I don't think that approach works, but I also, I'm just like,

I don't want to have this argument anymore. Yeah. So I do try to like, just, I try to hear both sides of an issue no matter what, no matter how crazy they are, because I'm a comic and that's, you know, that's where the funny is. And it turns out that the funny is also the fact that they got great supplements.

They really do. They know their supplements. Yeah. Maybe that's kind of the compliment sandwich we can use when we're trying to get them to get the vaccine. First of all, I just want to reach out and say your taste in supplements has changed my daily routine, has changed my life. My hair has grown longer since I started this email. On the other hand, what you said about vitamin C,

really? Yeah. Crazy good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm looking at colloidal silver next.

Thanks. Yeah. Yeah. Get the vaccine. Fuck with. Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to look into colloidal silver next. Thanks. Yeah, yeah. Get the vaccine, fuckwit. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, fuck. Love your nails. Love your nails.

Love your nails. Get the vaccine, fuckwit. Also, your hair looks great. There it is. Yeah. Your skin is luminous. There it is. All right.

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

I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday.

Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey,

but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible.

Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And we have an update from Sturgis which rosebud was this the uh show that you had booked that you had to cancel were you headlining sturgis yeah no no but i i hope to i really do that one day yeah so if miles as you said if it looks like a super spreader And quacks like one It just might be I mean, we talked about Look, we're in year two of the pandemic

Last year we were like That's not a good idea And then with the Delta variant We're like, even worse idea 500,000 people descending on a place And many of whom are In the culture of anti-mask and pro preventable death. This looks like a bad fucking recipe.

And right now the, you know, the rally took place from August 9th to 15th in South Dakota. And plus you have Kristi Noem, their governor, who's like, yeah, man,

fuck it. Like let's just all die of COVID. Who gives a fuck? We're now seeing that the rates are starting to go particularly high, especially in Meade County, where the Sturgis bike rally was. Right now, the country is experiencing about a 64% surge nationwide, if you average it out. So across America, 64%. Yeah, across America. That's what it's averaging out to.

That's fucking terrible. If you look at Meade County, they're having a 3,400% spike, 3,400% spike in positive results since the bike rally took place. And then neighboring counties, it's like 1,600%. And South Dakota as a state is experiencing a 686% increase in positive cases. So, I mean, there's really not much to say here. It's always bad when the percentage is like i don't even know what that means like yeah yeah three thousand four hundred percent and you know i mean to their credit right there like the death rates are pretty low in south dakota but a lot of the

officials are like that just we're just now being able to quantify quantify the actual spread the deaths typically come in the following weeks because that's positive tests will then lead to hospitalizations and potentially someone passing away. So, yeah, I mean, on paper, this always looked like a bad idea and it continues to look that way. And, you know, like when you start to look at Lollapalooza, I remember being like, oh boy, this doesn't look good. But when you think of the fact that they were at least like, please bring a test, please come vaccinated.

That's sort of the deal here for us to do this. It from all you know, when you look at it doesn't seem like the kind of super spreader event many people feared would be or like at all. And when you take into account this, the organizers say 90 percent of the people were fully vaccinated. And I just say 90% of the people were fully vaccinated. So yeah, still continuing sort of the trend of fucking around and finding out. Yeah, there's a, there was a, there's also an article about how Israel, which is like super vaxxed up. Yeah, hyper vaxxed. Yeah, that they are experiencing like a third wave of the virus, even having been vaccinated. And it's like, oh, we I'm worried about like what's going to happen in in New York and in America.

I'll cross the board because a lot of in there, like, you know, they point to the fact that because they had reached such high levels of vaccination and like the positive results were low, they were just like, fuck it. It's 2018. Do your thing. And I think because people traveling and things like that then just introduced all of these new complications. And, yeah, definitely doesn't bode well for a place that is, you know, fucking not even at 60 percent here. Right. Yeah. you know fucking not even at 60 percent here right yeah i'm assuming though they're not seeing the surge in hospitalizations and deaths that the the rest of the world is seeing it's not as pronounced

but right they're still they're still seeing because like they're also people whose vaccinations are waning you know like the efficacy is waning so they're also being like fuck this is also like it's a combination of the delta thing it's the combination of they think the efficacy is waning for the for the vaccine shots. Yeah. Yeah. So there is an article saying that boosters have shown promise to kind of curb the current surge. Yeah, we have medicine that works. And a lot of activists and people like Doctors Without Borders are saying like with one hundred and twenty seven million dollars, you could bring a hundred like something like a hundred million doses like online, like within a year if they actually invested in some facilities. Like because there there's a lot of arguments, too, if I was like, well, you can't trust places in Africa. Like it's very, you know, it's very patronizing and like being like, being like well you know like it's it's a little bit different there but meanwhile there are plenty of drugs that are distributed that are manufactured there that are fda approved so it's like well why are we being selective with what you think the capabilities are when we're still selling things that are

manufactured in those places so it's uh yeah and and we're still dealing with people trying to convince them to get the first dose. So, yeah. God damn. We just need to. Wow. It's like dragging a child to a warm bath. Yeah. Right. That, you know, they're going to enjoy like a moment after they're in there. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Let's talk Kraken. Lin Wood and Sidney Powell got famous at the end of 2020 for being the crack and lawsuit lawyers. They went around the country filing suits to basically rat fuck the legal process to try and get the election results overturned. They were unsuccessful. But when you look back at the 2000 election, which was obviously a very different thing, but, you know, we did a lot of research into that for our live show last night, which was about the year 2000.

You know, there were successful rat fuckings that happened a lot of people realized, but which is why it's all the more important that these people who were kind of integral to that process, to that attempt to be held accountable. So, you know, they're basically this judge is like, yeah, let's sanction them. And let's also refer them to be suspended and possibly permanently disbarred because this is a fucking joke. And the judge's ruling was like so scathing. It did help me feel a little bit better because I was like, I'm glad to hear that a judge saw this and was like, what in the fuck do you think you're doing? I'm just going to read some of this. I said, quote, about these cracking lawsuits. Quote, this lawsuit represents a historic and profound abuse of the judicial process. This was in a hundred ten page ruling. OK, it's one thing to take on the charge of vindicating rights associated with an allegedly fraudulent election. It is another to take on the

charge of deceiving a federal court and the American people into believing that rights were infringed without regard to whether any laws or rights were in fact violated. That is what happened here. It was about undermining the people's faith in our democracy and debasing the judicial process to do so. While there are many arenas, including print, television, and social media, where protestations, conjecture, and speculation may be advanced, such expressions are neither permitted nor welcomed in a court of law. And while we as a country pride ourselves on the freedoms embodied within the First Amendment, it is well established that an attorney's freedom of speech is circumscribed upon entering the

courtroom. Because a lot of their things are like, well, that's what I believe and that's what I'm saying. So that's why I'm saying it in this courtroom. And they're like, that's not what are you doing? This is not how any of this fucking works and yeah just you know that aggressive tone i feel like is fucking necessary considering like what these people were attempting so they were also ordered to pay the legal fees of like defendants and their stupid lawsuits as well so they've got a they have a mounting pile of legal problems headed their way so a bit of a nice karmic yeah rebalancing a bit yeah this is the second day in a row where we've had a judge like say the obvious thing like that is clear to everybody but that like there's all these different forces trying to

like legally maneuver around and use like technicalities to kind of obscure the truth there was the judge yesterday saying like prop 22 was not to help the workers of gig economy employers it was actually to make it harder for them to organize i'm like that's obvious to everybody but like that for whatever reason they were able to pass around technicality and a judge yesterday was just like no that's not no like we can see obviously what you're doing and like this is another case is there a uh like a judicial movement for people being like well come on what the fuck i'm sure just like for anyone who practices law and like took it takes it seriously to see this kind of shit you You're like, what the fuck? This is completely backwards.

Well, I think, but I think that it's, it's unfortunate because it, it's like, even with this, even with, you know, it's nice for us to see it. But for people who really bought into all of this, this is, I mean, for conspiracy theorists, this is like, this only affirms the things that they already believed. Right. Which is that the judicial system is rigged. And so, like, it's unfortunate because they won already in terms of getting people who they they just strengthened the beliefs, the insane beliefs of the people that are already indoctrinated to what they were trying to show and it's like it's unfortunate because i i think that you know we're at a really dangerous place as a country when you can't separate truth from fiction. And when you have a bunch of people who are essentially in a cult telling you that the most important thing is to think for yourself. And it's like, you're in a cult. Like the, the irony is completely lost on them. That what they're, it's like QAnon people being like,

you got to do your own research, man. Yeah. I just did. It's weird. It says it's the opposite of everything you're saying right now. No, it's real research.

Right. And it's like, and then there'll be like, look at this article and it's a meme. And you're like, that's not what an article is like that's a this is like a meme that says herschel walker is a shapeshifter that who was also michael vick yeah i'm like you're showing me a picture of a triangle with an eye in it um i don't you know like so you get it. Yeah. Oh, no. My hairdresser fucking joined QAnon during the pandemic.

And it was like, I could see it happening, you know? Yeah. And she went inside for three months and came out. And she was like, you got to see what's going on. It's not good. And I was like, oh, God, here we go. And she started talking about doing your own research. And that's always like a red flag. You know? Yeah. Because what they're saying is true. Yes. You should look into it yourself. They start with that, which seems like a very reasonable thing and is a very reasonable thing.

And then from there, they they go. I'm like, just because you're doing your own research doesn't mean that all of it is good. Or that you know what you're researching. Or how to research. Or how to research. And so it's this very complicated thing where it's so unfortunate because, you know, and it's been brewing for such a long time i mean it started with like 9-11 truthers and you know it was like it started and it's crossed party lines so many times in this country but it's a real issue and it's like i mean it's like the second virus that we're dealing with in america for sure yeah no this will historically be seen as like a fulcrum point uh we we don't yet know like what

it will be into hopefully it's for like reform and making it so that you know the there is some regulation to the current information economy and information ecosystem. But yeah, this is kind of unprecedented, like the amount of just fervent belief in absolute bullshit. Well, and also like reducing legal decisions to essentially, if it's not the thing I want,

then it's absolute horseshit. But if it is what I want, then I agree. And it's like, well, there's no way to win with that person because it's just like if what I want isn't happening, then it's tyranny. And it doesn't matter the process or how these decisions are arrived or how we arrive to these decisions and things like that. So, yeah, it's and it's again, it's also's also you know we see it played out too with the january 6th shit and there's also like a huge thing going on there maybe though there's a potential reckoning there but you know america's track record with reckonings is fucking oh for 700 000 so i'm not too optimistic there but in terms of the commission that's looking into the

january 6th insurrection they just made a substantial document request that made Donald Trump like fall out of his high chair, saying that they're looking for everything. They want records that include Trump White House records held by the National Archives and Records Administration, documents from the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice, Interior, FBI, Director of National Intelligence, National Counterterrorism Center. And essentially, they want fucking every kind of communication or recorded data about people's movements or communications that day. So whether that was Trump's activities, movements, meetings on the 6th, or things from April 1st, 2020, starting all the way back there, and including some, like, name anyone who has been in the news and Trump orbit. They're like the people who, like, and we also need their communications, too. Yeah. It's like Ivanka, Jared, Don Jr., fucking Hope Hicks, the Proud Boys,

three percenters, fucking, like, Chris Christieie roger stone fucking everyone alex jones it's i mean yeah they also like you know they're also really looking deeply into if you remember like at the end of the year in 2020 a lot of people suddenly got put into high ranking decision making and administrative positions like at the dni or department of defense and things like that like we need to know about that too like what what was happening when trump was like installing these people in these various departments right yeah and now he's just screaming about executive whatever immunity or whatever thing he's made up in his mind where they can't look at any of your documents because you were the president yeah right yeah good luck with that yeah speaking of like just how this period is going to be viewed

historically i do i am pretty confident and excited for the fact that they did not cover their own tracks in any way like the the bush george w bush white house like there was just all these documents that just like went went away and nobody knows what happened to them. Like there's no way the Trump administration had their shit together enough to to do that. So I do think we'll we'll get like a very detailed look of exactly look at exactly how fucked up and like transparent everything they were trying to do was god can you imagine that's the thing that worries me is that even with all that right where does it go like if that is also accelerates to a point for all the you know insurrectionist types who are like oh they're really trying to clamp down now like it's time to ramp things up further or right they can

even get with these lawsuits be like okay OK, well, you need to testify. And either they're going to say that's true or they're like, I was. Look, yeah, I was involved in some shit that was like wrong to save their own asses. I don't know how that plays with, you know, like you're saying, Rose, but like the people who have bought in. Right. I mean, I would almost I'm like, see, this is why I prefer a president who even if he's corrupt, I don't know what he's doing. You know what I mean? Even if he's screwed up, even if he's just doing... If he's using the White House to funnel cocaine into our breakfast cereal, I just don't want to know about it.

You know what I mean? to our breakfast cereal. I just don't want to know about it. You know what I mean? I'm like, I'm so, I'm defeated to the point where I'm like, I don't care what happens. Just don't tell me, you know?

Just because even, and this is the thing about these conspiracy theorists is like they have all these theories and they'll tell you about them. And then I'm like, okay, so let's say all of what you said is true. What are you going to do about it?

And they never have a single answer. They're never like, like if you ask them, they don't have an answer for you. They're like, well, we got to storm the White House. It's like, well, you did that. Yeah, how'd that go? So, and we saw what you did. You guys just wandered around. The thing I hear more from people is that ilk is more like, oh, the trouble's coming.

Or I hope you have a gun. You know, like, I hope you're ready. already not like to say that it's a threat to you but like what they see is absolute breakdown where you are going to have to be armed to fight off whatever tyrannical concept nebulous concept of your future like you're using to buy more ammo right for your bunker so i don't know but yeah like there are i just saw recently this guy at a school board meeting he he straight up told this city council meeting he said i know a lot of good guys who are prepared to do really bad things what that kind of rhetoric is like school board meeting yeah because about mass to make sure that their kid doesn't have to wear a mask yeah and you start off like take that diaper off your face and you're like oh my god like this

oh the bluster is like next level but again you don't. It's this is something that fair. You know what I mean? Right. Nobody's pooping into their mask. Yeah. Look, I had onions and a nice salad. That's not shit in the mask. I didn't. I'm not shitting out of my mouth. Right. Might as well be.

Yeah. I'm like. Baby mouth. Guys, you're writing material for them. Stop. Yeah. This is too good. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be

right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.

One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

How do you feel about biscuits? Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the Boone County rebels with the image of... It's right here in black and white in print. A lion.

An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back and so there's this tweet from uh one of our favorite primary news sources lab bible here on the dailies i guess uh and it it's kind of gone very viral asking if you had to save three shows from being like you know memory hold from history just like taken wiped from the pages of history and like we they just never happened which of these nine would it be i'll just read through them the sopranos the walking dead game of thrones the wire boardwalk Empire, Ozark, Prison Break. I did not see that one coming. Sons of Anarchy and Breaking Bad. So for me, like,

The Sopranos and The Wire, this is basically a question of like, okay, so with the remaining seven spots, what's the one show that gets it? Because The Sopranos and The Wire are the best. Sopranos, The Wire. I don't, honestly, like, part of me, I guess I'm really angry at Game of Thrones. I don't care if nobody remembers that shit.

Right. And I feel like I would save, I mean, I would, God, can't Deadwood be in here? I know, Deadwood instead of Prison Break. I'm like, why is Ozark in there? And, like, I mean, Ozark's fine, but, like, really? I get Sons of Anarchy. I get Breaking bad ozark seems like too much of a newcomer and also too similar to breaking bad yeah yeah so it walk you

know i don't know for me it's over deadwood yeah or i mean i prefer deadwood over boardwalk so yeah also these shows are all like kind of in the same genre. Yeah. I'm like, these are sort of the same show. Like, if you take, honestly, I think you save Sopranos and you're going to have a list just as long of killer shows that come because the Sopranos existed. Like, without the Sopranos, you would have none of these other shows, in my opinion, because the Sopranos, like, changed TV forever.

Like, the Sopranos is the reason TV has, like, a cinematic kind of feel to it now, where you can sit down and you can watch hours and hours and hours of a show. I think The Sopranos and The Wire, the first four seasons of The Wire, could stand with any American-made movie, any American novel. Like I think they are as good as any of that shit.

Yeah. I just don't feel sentimental for it. Dude, I tried, I couldn't, I couldn't get past the first season of Walking Dead. I only did, I only watched because of Frank Darabont was on the first season. And I was like, I don't, I just, and I used to be really into the zombie apocalypse.

Like in college and stuff. That was, you know, when i was like this shit and people like yo man you fuck you like zombie apocalypse stuff and i was like yep i got the survival guide oh walking dead let's check it out and then i slayed i was like man maybe this isn't for me because here's the thing walking dead is just the same day over and over and over again like i'm like i'm like it's not unlike living in a pandemic you're just doing the same thing every day right and it's exhausting but oh man sopranos i've watched i probably watched that show five or six times, rewatched the entire thing. Wow. I'm like, it's just so good.

And I see something different about that show every time I watch it. I used to have sex dreams about Tony Soprano, okay? It changed the game for me. I was like, I did not know that I was into thick men like this. Or were you Dr. Melfi? Like, what was the context? Or you just, Tony Soprano's pulled up in that Cadillac and you're like the weirdest sex dreams i've ever had in my life i literally and it's it happens to every woman that watches it every stray woman that watches

the sopranos has a sex dream about tony soprano whether they want to or not i he was he was on the subway in his disgusting bathrobe just waiting at the Union Square subway station. Oh, yeah. And I was just into it. He's just had his bathrobe open. And I was like, you're just like, he's like a pig. And you're like, I fucking, I hate you. Yeah.

And then you're just like, I also would give it to, you can get it. I don't know. It's really upsetting. It doesn't feel feminist. It doesn't feel progressive. But God damn know. It's really upsetting. It's, it doesn't feel feminist. It doesn't feel progressive, but God damn it. If it's not the truth.

Yeah. I'm more of a, a Polly Walnuts sex dream guy myself. Where he's just repeating jokes to you over and over again. And he's clean, you know, like I'm like, Oh wow,

you're pretty tidy. Yeah. He is tidy. Yeah. Yeah. Except for the Pine Barrens episode. So for me, it comes down to Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad. And I think the ending of Breaking Bad, I'm definitely in the minority in that I think the ending of Breaking Bad was like as bad as the ending of Game of Thrones.

as bad as the ending of Game of Thrones. And if we still get Better Call Saul, because that's not on the list of shows that gets wiped out of history, then I think you save Game of Thrones because it's different. It's not similar to these other shows. It's a whole... There's levels to this question

that the options are just not acknowledging. Yeah. Right. They're basically like, if you could pick three of these nine very similar shows, it's not a hard decision is what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah. Or, but in my mind, like to your point, Rosebud, like what the Sopranos did to transform sort of prestige TV, it's almost like, what do you like? did to transform sort of prestige tv it's almost like what do you like oxygen molecules water a pepsi can a carbon molecule a blanket or orange and you're like honestly without the oxygen or the carbon none of this is possible anyway so this conversation is moved yeah exactly exactly

yeah but i will say breaking bad is a great show but i got to that episode about the fly and i was like i'm done with this show i got so mad at that episode i it was like i've never been so infuriated by one episode of a show where i just went i don't care i don't know who was on vacation but this episode is trash. It's funny. Yeah. It's just infuriating. When a show can do that to you, though, there's something magic about that.

Because it's not often I feel like I will rage quit a show. I'm like, are you fucking dumb? You just did this to me? You fucking writer assholes. Like that one season of Dexter where, who was it? Was it like Edward James Olmos? It was like, look, spoiler alert for, I don't know, season five of Dexter or four. When Edward James Olmos was a figment of homeboy's imagination the whole time. I know.

I don't think that counts as a spoiler. I think that counts as a favor. You're doing somebody. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Right. But like, that was just one of the, I had the same thing where I like, i like i fucking turned the tv off i'm like you guys are fucking so stupid yeah i got so mad it reminds me of like i there's a therapist that i follow on instagram that i've been taking advice from like just for like two years now i'm just like god everything she says is so genius and

then she like came out as like she's in a three-person monogamous relationship the other day and i was like fuck this lady like i was like i can't god damn it my friend and i were like texting about it and i was like this feels like a knife to my heart i've just been i've just been taking every word she says as like pure wisdom and truth. And now I'm like, oh, okay, everything's a lie. Yeah. All right. And finally, let's just tell them NASA has weighed in on the length of the perfect power nap, which is, I don't know, this seemed very short to me, but then again, I am constantly

tired. It's NASA. Okay. So if they know anything, I like, they're like, yeah, they know about the things that happens to the human body and how to kind of work around that. Cause space, because yeah, you know, getting tired in the, like our circadian rhythms, like there are points where we're going to get tired like twice per day. Like it just happens. Some people can push through it. Other people like, you know, that's why five hour energy exists. But so like, you know, everyone's like, what do you, what's 20 minutes an hour? How do you get that little bit of sleep that can actually help you? And according to NASA, they said, we found that pilots who slept in the cockpit for 26 minutes showed alertness improvements of up to 54% and job

performance improvements by 34% compared to those that didn't nap. But they say 26 minutes actually could be long. They are thinking that between 10 and 20 minutes is enough to get you into like these first two stages of your sleep cycle that give you like this sort of restorative rest. But in my mind i do i could never i don't know how to take a fucking 10 minute nap i just don't like i don't have the skills to like set a timer you know like you know because right have you ever tried to take like a power nap like and you know you're like fuck i only have like 30 minutes yeah but then half the time i'm like thinking of how i have to wake up in 30 minutes that i'm not actually able to take that nap so right more than anything i'm asking how do y'all even take a fucking power nap

yeah 20 minutes like what are the strategies i've never taken a nap that wasn't an accident i have never in my life taken a nap on purpose like i have fallen asleep in places but not on purpose i'm just not like in when i was in high school you know like puberty and like you're you just have to sleep so much because your body's just like a fucking wreck i would come home from school and i would sleep for like an hour and a half minimum but like that was in my mind i was like oh yeah i'm like i gotta sleep like and i would have to do like you know other extra like extra like jazz band, all kind of orchestras and shit. It's like, fuck, I got to get some fucking sleep before this other thing.

But it would have to be at least an hour for me to like be able to kind of get into it. But you know, listeners, how do you, how do you prepare for a 10 minute nap? How Jack, I know you, cause like when we, when we're on the road and there's times like when we're, there's a little bit of a gap between like when we check into a place and they're like, then we got to go sound check or something right like yeah i gotta i gotta take a quick nap i'm like in 35 minutes yeah i was i was hoping that the answer was gonna be four to five hours is the ideal time for a nap no yeah sometimes just like closing your eyes but you're right like trying to do it less than 26 minutes is just too much on a knife's edge.

Like I feel like that's for people who like have a power down button on their body that they can just hit and like immediately go to sleep or like for the people from Inception. Like you just like immediately or I guess drug users. That's what the people in Inception essentially were. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I don't i that seems to like i do i know there are people like that who are just like nap and nap time go

yeah and can fall asleep i'm not yeah yeah yeah yeah but my husband does that every day he comes home from work takes a nap and then yeah goes out and does spots. I'm like, whoa, that is impressive. That is impressive. Maybe we're just like sleep gluttons, you know, where we're like, I'm sorry. Like 10. OK, NASA. Right. Yeah.

90 minutes, fam. And I don't care if I wake up in the middle of it and I'm groggy and shit. You know what? I'm not even going to blame us for that. I'm going to blame NASA because I think they're working too hard. Yeah, that's true. I'm not saying that they need to relax. I think they should keep it up.

But just like, we're not all operating at NASA levels. That's true. Yeah. We aspire to. Maybe NASA needs to fucking relax. Now we're like, I'm really worried about the NASA pilots, actually. If this is what they're doing to them. I mean, you can talk about pilots' rights

for astronauts. Yeah. Yeah. Rosebud, it's been such a pleasure having you on The Daily Zeitgeist. It's been so great to be here. Thank you guys for having me. Yeah, it's been great.

Oh, my God. That sounds incredible. And is there a tweet or some of the work of social media you've been enjoying? This is just somebody who watched my special and hated it, okay? And they wrote underneath, they wrote, this is so boring. Women only talk about sex. And then someone came to which is a very gendered thing but that so that's like okay well whatever but then somebody came to my defense

and goes um clearly you didn't watch this whole thing she talks about sex for like three minutes and then they wrote it was boring though though. And I was like, what the fuck? Oh, come on. And I got to tell you, you'll see when you watch my special, people that hate my comedy make me laugh harder than like the people that love it. are so addicted to the instant laughs and the instant affirmation of that that when it doesn't go right, it's so funny to me because it's the one thing in my life that I take seriously. So to see it,

it's just so devastating that it makes me laugh. And also, it wouldn't make me laugh if I didn't know I was funny. So definitely go check it out. It is a great special. I hope you'll like it. Yeah, it's really good.

Where, you know, we just get high and talk about 90 Day and, you know, two immigrant kids trying to figure it out. And let's see, some tweets that I like. Okay, so this first one is from Isaiah G at Isaiah G underscore AAP. It said, adult friendships be like, I miss you, bro. Let's link in November. God damn. Well, everything's about work. We don't fucking play.

And then another one is from, uh, it's a rap at Mr. Despicable 22. It says you want to, you want to know how I know the vaccine is safe and works? And quote tweeted this from Kyle Griffin said, Goldman Sachs will require anyone who enters the bank's US offices, including clients, to be fully vaccinated starting September 7th. Yeah.

Yeah. That'll do it. Look at how the money people are dealing with it. Yes. Yeah. That's great. Let's see. A tweet I've been enjoying. Andrew Nadeau tweeted, family feuds. Steve it. Yes. Yeah. Let's see. A tweet I've been enjoying.

Andrew Nadeau tweeted, family feuds. Steve Harvey. No, me. It's my guess though. Steve Harvey. You guess this for every question. Me.

You have to say it. Steve Harvey. Sigh. Show me dem titties. Can't believe that hasn't been tried by anyone. That's amazing. And then there's one other one. Oh, God.

Oh, and then How's Annie tweeted, Dad jokes are okay, but Mom jokes are insisting that a squirrel she sees a lot is the mayor of the neighborhood. And every time you talk, she sees a lot is the mayor of the neighborhood and every time you talk she says I saw the mayor today you can find me on twitter at jack underscore o'brien you can find us on twitter at daily zeitgeist we're at the daily zeitgeist on instagram we have a facebook fan page

and a website dailyzeitgeist.com where we post our episodes and our footnotes where we link off to the information that we talked about in today's episode as well as a song that we think you might enjoy. Hey, Miles, what song should people go listen to? It's the weekend, you know, so something with a little bit of, you know,

dancey feeling, some dance music, some house music, some, you know, romantic stuff, some soul to it. This is a track called The Beast by Godford. And I just want to read this description from the artist of how they make their music, because this is how I'll sell you on it. Godford is described as, quote, I'm in the middle of that bridge between innocent, romantic and rape. I don't want to choose between those two feelings. I'm hiding my face because she'd like that they have like a mask on because I think my body isn't reflecting who I really am. i meet people and in real i feel i can express easily who i am but through a screen

or any media i'm feeling uncomfortable music in general is a non-binary place where everyone can express their deepest feelings so that uh i think that tracks this track feels like uh i mean you may find this depth to it or you might just say say, hey, this one gets my toe tapping. So check out The Beast by Godford. All right. Well, go check that out. The Daily Zeitgeist, the production of iHeartRadio.
