So guys, what we're going to do for today's episode is we are going to each do a search history, an overrated, an underrated, and a myth. Yeah. Miles and I usually don't do those, and Teresa had to come with two today. Uh-oh, cat's out of the bag. Oh, my gosh. We recorded this before Thanksgiving because we have lives, y'all. I hope I didn't ruin Thanksgiving for you. All right.

Who wants to start with their search history? Teresa, as the guest, I would love for you to. Sure,. Who wants to start with their search history? Teresa, as the guest. Sure, yeah. I can start. I recently Googled how to wash your face because I realized, like, I don't do it right, I don't think, because I found a wrinkle. And I was like, it's time. Oh, on your face you found a wrinkle. Yes, I found a wrinkle.

Where? I thought you meant like. Skin looks tighter than a new balloon that was blown up. Well, it's time. Oh, on your face you found a wrinkle. Yes, I found a wrinkle. Where? I thought you meant like. It's like a laugh line. Tighter than a new balloon that was blown up. Well, it's there. I'm wearing foundation. But I was like, I should probably do moisturizer. And then I texted some girlfriends.

And I was like, what do you guys put on your face? And they're like, well, you know, there's a toner and night cream. And I was like, what the fuck? Everybody's putting stuff on your face. It's like an 18-step process. Yeah, one of my friends was like, I've been doing night cream since I was 16 and I was like, fuck! She's like, what serum do you use? You're like, serums?

I frantically googled it because I was like, I think I missed out on something here. Yeah, but you know, we might just be in the blessed column when it comes to skin because people might be like, what's your routine? But I don't know because I asked my mom and she was like, oh yeah, no, you should start. Yeah, yeah. And I was like, oh, okay.

You're good. Thanks. My wife just put a thing of lotion next to my, like, on the bedside table next to it. She's like, you should start using that before you go to bed. Wow. Dude. Very subtle. Wow.

I am getting old. And when they introduce you, she's like, and is this your nurse? This is my wife. Oh, oh. I know, she does look like 10 years younger than me. I started my night facial, you know, routine at two years old. So I'm like, I'm not even joking at a very young age.

You look 12. Thank you. I started getting Botox at four. But seriously, my mom is very serious about it. Every month, she sends a whole package of Clems. Clems. Clems. With an E at the end.

Clems. Isn't that where you do all that stuff too? That's the thing. I didn't know. And I was like, when does toner go on? And what's different from lotion and night cream? What's the difference? Well, lotion you put on in the morning to kind of refresh your face.

Night cream, you want to keep it on at night because sometimes a lot of night cream can have adverse effects with sunlight. So if it's for night, you got to keep it on at night. Don't go out in the sun with it because it might either cause an irritation or like a rash or kind of be like a burn situation. cause an irritation or like a rash or like kind of like be like a burn situation. Oh, shit. I learned that toner you're supposed to put on right after you wash your face because it's when the moisture can get trapped in your face the most and that's good. So that's what I learned from my Google search. Wow.

Nice. Well, all right. I also highly recommend any sort of lotion with vitamin A because it helps build natural collagen levels on your face. Well, it keeps your face tight. No big deal. Or just eat a bunch of beef tendons. Get collagen levels on your face. It keeps your face tight. No big deal. Or just eat a bunch of beef tendons. Get that collagen in your system.

I like my face to be extra loose. Oh, yeah. Just baggy face on a baggy face. Like a bloodhound. All right. So I searched Canadian motorcycle chase mall because there is a great motorcycle chase where this dude is just riding his motorcycle through a mall.

It's one of those videos where it happens and it looks like it's like a comedy bit. Almost. You're just like watching people walking around the mall and a dude drives his motorcycle down the escalator. But I'm a big fan of a former cracked writer or current cracked writer. I just used to be there. Robert Brockway wrote an article where there was something along the premise of car chases that appear to be magic because they're just these amazing motorcycle and car chases that you can find on YouTube. One where a guy, his car just somehow goes through a fence even though like

it doesn't like break it down it's just it's really strange uh there's another that i was telling miles about that i haven't been able to find but uh a brazilian cop gets pinned against a bus by a car and he never stops he just go breaks into a sprint like because his body's still moving forward uh and basically it looks like Terminator, and then he shoots someone. So not that cool. Great Black Friday viewing. Yeah. And then that got us talking about the videos where wild boars just fall through the ceilings of, like, stores.

So a lot of borderline magical things happening on YouTube. I was not aware. Yes. I searched a couple things, and I'm going to indulge myself because I never talk about my search history. One was most popular TLC shows because I'm doing research on 90 Day Fiance because I feel like this is a show that needs to be spoken about, and I'm in the lab right now trying to figure out the best way to do that because it's just an amazing show.

Is it the most popular TLC show? It's definitely, yeah. It's huge. I mean, the fact that they do an after show where they go live, like when they do a 90-day live after show, that's usually a signal that you have a rabid fan base. They're like, I need more tent. I can't just wait weekly.

I need to hear some stuff from the people. What's the premise? It's about. Oh, my. Well, pull up my chair. Research. No. See, now this is why I'm researching because I feel like I need my own space to talk about this show.

So it's about people who are coming in on a K-1 visa, which allows 90 days. So if you, as an American, want to bring in someone from a foreign country, if you are engaged to that person, it's like a fiance visa, they can spend 90 days straight in the country so you could get acclimated. And then after the 90 days, you have to get married or you have to go back and then kind of go through the process again or get married or whatever. So it's usually a lot of people, they cover people in different stages, whether it's Americans abroad, considering bringing this person to America to do the K-1 visa, or it's people in like the middle of the 90 days, which is currently what's going on. And it's a lot of, it's just amazing because you get to see just our blind spots as Americans

that we have for foreign countries and blind spots foreigners have about America. Because, you know, every, because of the media, so like the world about, like, how people see the U.S., everyone just thinks everyone has so much money. And so, like, they're like women who marry American dudes thinking they fucking made it and then cut to, like, the guys like, I don't have money for anything. And they're like, what the fuck? Oh, my God.

Right. It's an amazing show. And another thing that I Googled was what should I carry in a man bag? Okay. Because my legs are thick. I carry in a man bag? Okay. Because my legs are thick. I'm a thick boy, double C, maybe even three Cs. And carrying shit in my pockets, I just look like I'm trying to stuff shit in my pants. This is not a good look.

Right. So I was like, oh, you know what? Maybe a bag is good now because then I can put my keys in there, my wallet, my phone. Handgun. Handgun. Hand cream. Chewing gum. now because then I can put my keys in there my wallet my phone handgun handgun hand cream chewing gum uh and yeah like I was just sort of like once I put my phone I think I'm like damn I got a lot more room I'm like what other motherfuckers carry in here and I was you know

I got some ideas that I realized there are many things I could be to like lip balm my lips get chapped all the time but I don't bring it around with me oh that's the thing I will start carrying you can carry a woman's purse inside you don't have to carry with me. Oh, wow. That's a thing I will start carrying. You can carry a woman's purse. Inside. She doesn't have to carry it. Wow. There you go. I already carry the purse around all the time.

If you see me with a coach bag, no one with her majesty. But then what do you carry inside that purse? A smaller man's bag. And then it becomes a Russian nesting purse. Super producer Anna Hosnier. Secrets. What have you been searching?

I'm trying to remember the name of this. I got invited to a birthday party of a friend of a friend's that I don't go to. But it's at a bar that the dress code is you have to wear all black, which I just. Wait, what? There's some bar in L.A. where you have to. They told me the name of it. Wait, what? There's some bar in LA where you have to, they told me the name of it.

It was like in one ear, out the other, because I was trying to find an excuse to say like I couldn't go. Is that called funeral casual? Yeah. And they were being like, it's very strict. So even if you have even one remotely like different color type of clothing, you have to take it off. What? I don't fucking know.

But I was trying to remember what the name of the bar was so I could find where it was and then make an excuse as to why I can't go because of the location. There you go. It's tonight, so we'll see how. I have so much time. What is it called? Did you figure out the name? The clock is ticking.

No, I can't find it. That's so stupid. I don't want to text the friend who asked me to go. It's my boyfriend. My boyfriend asked me to go. I don't want to text him because I don't want to remind him that I haven't said, haven't come up with an excuse yet. Like when you had to go to that wedding because you were like, I think your brother's getting married this weekend. And he was like, possibly.

Yeah, that's how me and my boyfriend live our life. My boyfriend has no idea where he is at any point. But those are like relationship, mental, social Jedi mind tricks. You play with it. I'm not going to say anything. And then it'll be too late to leave for the thing because we'll get all comfy and show up. Oh, we can't go now. You just remember.

I just put on 90 Day Fiancé. I burned all his black clothes. So he's just not going to be able to find anything in the closet. Is it just to be like, we want to set the dark mood. It's so cool. It's like LA, like cool goth culture. Oh, is it goth? I don't know. I honestly don't know.

Do you have to wear eyeliner? The person whose birthday it is vibes towards a more gothy style. She's not goth herself, but that's her aesthetic. You have to wear a Nightmare Before Christmas graphic tee.

I actually have a glow-in-the-dark Nightmare Before Christmas t-shirt that is black that I considered wearing. Is she just having it at a hot topic, maybe? Yeah. It's just a hot topic. A party at a hot topic? I fucking wish. I don't know.

So I'm trying to find it where it is. I feel like it's called like Dragons and Cauldrons or some bullshit. It's called All This Blackness. I don't know. When I figure it out, I'll let you guys know. Yeah, let me know so I can never go there again. Or I'll throw my birthday there. I don't know.

Teresa Lee, what is something you think is overrated? I think foraged food at restaurants is overrated. And I will explain. Because I went to a restaurant where the server was like, I wanted to order this mushroom risotto, and the server was like, all of our mushrooms are foraged from Central Park. And she's like, our chef goes personally to the park

and forages for mushrooms. And I was like, she was saying it like it was this good thing that I was supposed to be like, oh, how classy. But I was like, that saying it like it was like this good thing right that i was supposed to be like oh how classy but i was like that sounds like you're just finding trash and yeah like why is that a good thing now that we're just urban foraging i'm a little put off by like if you go into the forest right oh yeah maybe i guess yeah but then it's like but the whole idea of like it has to be the chef who forages it and prepares it. It's like, I don't know. That seems like a lot of work for him.

Can the foragers go forage? And then like, there's a reason we have like- Jobs. Yeah, assembly line. Like this whole idea of like, everything has to be like personally handpicked. It's like, well, I don't think it'll be good if the person who's cooking it is not trained in like picking berries is also picking the berries. We'll also get like you know it's local or whatever but when

local means like one of the most densely populated cities on earth I don't think that like the soil is it necessarily getting the nutrients or you're like these are perfect mushrooms. There's a lot of human feces that go into it probably. Right. Who knows. This is a pea stained mushroom. I've definitely seen multiple people just poop in the middle of New York.

Yeah. So anyways, I think that's overrated. But I got it anyways. And it wasn't that good. And I was like, this would have been better if it probably wasn't. If it was made on a farm. From Central Park. Yeah.

What is that job description? Like when you apply to be a chef, it's like, okay, make sure you have a MetroCard because every morning you will have to go to Central Park and look for mushrooms. And fight the other people who saw Chef's Table once for foraging mushrooms. There's a thing with like foraging for weeds and stuff like urban foraging. And like you'd be surprised how many of the plants that grow in the city are edible. I'm sure. Like, look, I'm not of the plants that grow in the city are edible. I'm sure. Like, look, I'm not knocking. Because that's great.

If you can fucking like have a low impact and you're not consuming shit and you can actually make all power to you. For me, though, I'm good, man. If I'm going to pay for food, I want that shit to be like I can't find that shit growing next to my house. I'm just saying, why stop there? The animals are probably edible, too. Everything edible. Pigeons, squirrels,

rats. You can't eat pigeon, huh? No. You could forage in your gamer's fridge. Can you eat pigeons? Yeah,

you could eat pigeons. I mean, there are like edible pigeons, right? You could eat cockroaches. Oh, birds for the most part. As long as you cook them thoroughly.

You could eat a New York pigeon? No, I wouldn't do that, but yeah, I think you could. That would be a thrill. Like what? Like whole? I don't think it would taste good. Just stuff it in your mouth? New York pigeon? No, I wouldn't do that. But yeah, I think you could. That would be a thrill. Like what? Like whole?

I don't think it would taste good. Just stuff it in your mouth? A whole? No, no, no. No, I mean, cook it. Like, you know, like roast a pigeon. I wouldn't recommend it. I'm sure there's a way to eat it.

Based on their diet. I'm sure like just what they eat, they're not, they have to have, I don't know. They're the dirtiest looking animals in existence. They're rats. They're flying rats. Rats are playing. I don't know. I'm sure there's somebody in the Zeitgeist game who's like, you can eat pigeon.

I know. We will. I'm sure. Because don't people eat pigeon? But that's more like wild pigeon? Do they? I don't think I've ever heard of people eating pigeon. Maybe in like a Victorian novel or something like that where they like serve pigeon and

goose and shit like that. I wonder if it just, I'm sure you can, but I wonder what it tastes like. I wonder if it just tastes bad. Like someone tried it and they're like, we just now as a human kind decide we're not eating pigeons. It tastes like a bunch of tortilla chip crumbs. Because I feel like that's all pigeons eat around the city. Just chip crumbs and shit. It's on a steady diet of other people's wasted food.

Cold french fries. All right, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be back with more overrated things. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.

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.

available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And my overrated, I am the old man. I'm going to say youth is overrated. Holy shit. Because, all right. Overrated. Holy shit.

Because, all right. So I just think that being young is great for any number of reasons that we talk about in our culture. And being old sucks for a lot of reasons that are very visible doing things they're bad at, like being president, being on TV, like talking about new ideas and like politics. And that's not what old people should be doing because they're bad at picking up new ideas. But I do think like old man strength, like learning how to do things is a real thing.

Like I've realized this because both I've gotten better Learning how to do things is a real thing. Like I've realized this because both I've gotten better at opening jars, you guys, as I've aged. But also like watching how much of the things that my son is learning to do, he just like doesn't know how to like throw a ball. Like it's just like it's completely foreign to you. And like for most of my life, I didn't know how to throw throw a ball, like it's just like, it's completely foreign to you. And like for most of my life, I didn't know how to throw a spiral. And then like I got better at throwing a spiral in my 30s, like a spiral of football. And I don't know, I think there's a lot of downsides

to aging, but there's also like you kind of figure out how to do things with your body better and like just figure out how to do things that are practical and every day better. And yeah, like old man strength is an example. Like piano movers are not the strongest guys. They're just the guys who know how to move pianos. Yeah. And efficiently. It's experience.

And I mean, I think old people can learn new shit, you know. Yeah. No, they can. Your shit shuts down. But yeah. I just don't think they should be our thought leaders. Right, right. Which is what we look to them to be. I think we look to them for their wisdom.

That's the thing that I feel like even my grandfather, who's like 90 now, he has so much wisdom. But that's what he's good for. I'm not going to be like, hey, what you think about income equality? He's not going to have a great take on that. I think America is particularly bad at respecting old people. Yeah, in this country for sure because we have this thing of like, it's just marketed to us like old bad, young and fucking hip, the best. Yeah, but have you ever met an old person?

Yeah. I fuck with old people. Yeah. What do you mean? What's going on over here, ageism? What do you mean? I'm just joking. No with old people. Yeah. What do you mean? What's going on over here, ageism? What do you mean? I'm just joking. No, old people are okay.

I don't know. Man, a really fun older person, man, great times you can have with old people. I mean, it is definitely, just on an everyday cultural perspective, it's basically like talking to somebody from a different country because like you know they a lot of their habits and ideas were formed in a completely different world that was actually like much slower than like the world has sped up ideas have gotten more complicated as time has gone on and when you get to like us interacting with somebody

who's actually elderly now, like that's a pretty significant gap. And so there are definitely things that they're not going to be good at, but if you like kind of make allowances for that and then, you know, look for the things they're actually good at. I do think, you know,

just in terms of practical wisdom and experience there, there's a lot to be said for that stuff. It's also so cool when you meet an old person who's like – I mean, there's regular old man strength, the kind of stuff you're talking about, but then also very specialized artists or anybody, any expert. Because they've got already a natural talent, but then on top of that, decades of honing in on this one thing. And it's so cool. I talked to the special effects guy of Ghostbusters. And he just has worked on so many movies. And it's cool to just be like, oh, wow. This is what experience is in a very specialized way. You're already talented.

But on top of that, it's like, I don't know. It's really cool when old people who like Illustrator can just be like, I draw a thing. You know, that's amazing. Nobody else in the world. Right. Do it that fast. Yeah.

Cause I put in 900,000 hours. Yeah. Literally. So you're 3000 motherfucker. What do you think? I think there's a lot of jobs or a lot of creative pursuits where we just assume, Oh, you're best at it when you're in your like twenties and thirties.

And actually like being a scientist tends to be that way like like Einstein all the all the great scientists came came up with their best ideas and when when they were in their late 20s early 30s but then you know there's a lot of shit like being a cinematographer being an artist right all those like kind of crafts people just get better and better as they age yeah just learn new tricks. Yeah, for sure. And that's what a lot of parenting is, is like passing those tricks on. I think like it used to be that we would grow up in the same exact like environment, doing

the same exact trade as our parents and like that shit was just passed down. Right. But now it's a little bit more complicated because you have to go find the old person who knows all the tricks to the thing that you want to do. Yeah. Yeah. It's worth kind of seeking out. Yeah.

I mean, if you're listening to this and your family's all together, ask one of the older people in your family for a tip. Yeah. Because I remember the best one my grandpa gave me was like, hey, man, I'm going to tell you something. Just stretch. Yeah. And I was like, god damn man, I'm going to tell you something. Just stretch. And I was like, god damn, you're right.

You don't want to be. He's like, you get to a certain point, and you weren't stretching, and your shit just fucking locks up. And he's like, keep your muscles along. Yeah. So instead of arguing with their crazy, outdated Fox News beliefs, just ask them something that they know that you don't. Miles, what's something you think is overrated?

Overrated, just outrage, culture, just getting in arms about certain things. I don't know. It's just this idea that like a lot, I've noticed a lot in a lot of organizations, people do the wrong thing because they are worried about the outrage of people, even if it might not be, you know, if what they're trying to pursue is actually an objective good.

And you see this with like in the news, the way they cover things. They don't want to come off as biased towards liberals by reporting facts that contradict the president. And they get worried about that we saw that in law enforcement up until recently not really uh interested in like investigating certain things for the sake of not you know creating outrage on the right uh and then also like just shit like even with like uh emotional support animals like it's gotten to a thing where there are a lot of people who have gotten so loud about their emotional support animals like it's affecting people who actually have like trained uh animals that they need like trained uh guide dogs or other things like that have a specialty not just like i love my dog and

i have to fly with it because i will freak out and have an anxiety attack it's like i've noticed i was like reading a thing about how it's getting worse in the airlines and they're trying to figure out like what to do because now like there's more incidences of animals doing shit on planes that are like, you know, stinking up the plane or whatever. And there are even veterinarians and veterinary behaviorists who look at it like not all your pets. Like I get that, you know, you have to also consider the pet. Sometimes taking an animal on a plane is like the worst thing for some animals. And we kind of begin to, I don't know. to the pet sometimes taking an animal on a plane is like the worst thing for some animals and we kind of begin to i don't know i'm just saying look just be honest with yourself and not every the

world doesn't owe you everything if people disagree sometimes it's good sometimes it's bad and i'm trailing off so i just read so many things at the same time that i was like i see people's outrage affecting all these different things. Yeah. People have like, there was an emotional support peacock. Like what the heck? Well, yeah, I think that was on United or American. They had to be like, no.

And someone tried to bring a goat on, but you can bring on a small horse onto a plane. Did you know that? How? I don't know. In this article I was reading, they're like miniature horses are still allowed. Right.

What? Where does it sit? I don't know. I think you buy a seat. Overhead like, miniature horses are still allowed. Right. What? Where does it sit? I don't know. I think you buy a seat. Overhead or sit on the horse? I think you buy a seat for it or rise in the cockpit. And it like puts its butt on the seat and then its hooves on the ground and it just sits like a person.

That seems dangerous. What if the horse starts to run? I don't know. How does it stretch? They're powerful. I've not seen what a tiny horse looks like on a plane. But just to read in an article that they were saying goat not allowed, miniature horse allowed. That seems biased against regular sized horses though.

Yeah, right? If I want to bring my- That's what I'm saying. Too big. Too big. Just keep it. Gelding. Way too big.

Oh, that is a castrated horse? Yeah, I don't know. That was just the first horse thing that I could come up with. Isn't that what a gelding is? Yeah, I guess Mustang would have been better. Hey, bring your stang on. So producer Anna Hosniay, what's something you think is overrated? Now this one is close to my heart.

All right, I like this character. The keto diet. Oh, shit, for real? I've been doing it for two months now. Whatever, I lost weight i feel great everything's wonderful except for it's not whatever except for amazing energy because we all like we're going right now we're smiling we're like guys i've never felt better but then you like have to be places and like people are all eating bread and enjoying sugar and then having a great time

and you're sitting there like yeah no i'm great and you're like smiling through grit teeth and you're like well that's when you got to look at why you're doing the diet you know what i mean because i'm vain but like that's not the point like i'm just like it's it's it's it's a very hard diet and eventually it gets to a point it's like fuck i should have just exercised and ate normally and healthily and not done this whole extreme diet. Well, now you can do that now. Yes, true. But I should have just goddamn did it from the beginning instead of being like, what?

You lose weight quick? Well, shit. I don't know. It's just so hard when you want to go out and be around people and they're like, Anna, would you like a cookie? And you're like, I'm suicidal. And they're like, okay. Just move it to the next person. And I just feel like I'm so – it almost feels like I feel rude.

Like being in people's homes and they're like offering me things. And I keep being like, I'm so sorry. I'm on a diet. Maybe you've heard of it. Keto. Well, when you say it like that. I have to speak like that. It's my social voice.

It's my social voice. I couldn't possibly take it. It's my social voice. So I don't know. Also, I feel like I'm, I don't think it's a diet that can sustain because you're just eating high fat foods and it's like, this is not a way of life. I don't think it's meant to be something you live on. Yeah, I agree. You shouldn't do it that way. And I feel like all these like blogs and readings, like people have just like, this is their

life. They only do keto. And it's like, you're going to die. You need to be careful. You really need to look into it. High fat foods is not a forever thing. Your high cholesterol is going to burst through your size zero genes.

Yeah. Yeah, for a second. Yo, have you had a stick of butter though? On a stick? Wait, dip it in sugar? Is that a real thing? No. I mean, I would eat it. I've heard, maybe this stick? Wait, dip it in sugar? Is that a real thing? No. Oh. I mean, I would eat it.

I've heard, do they, maybe this is a fake thing, but fried butter, is that a real thing? No. Yeah, I think that is. Wait, what? I think they totally do shit like that. Like a fair thing. It would fall apart. Iowa State Fair.

Fried butter, I mean, I'll try it. I'll try anything. I mean, honestly, I love butter. I used to get yelled at as a kid at the restaurant because I would use like a whole pat of butter on like one piece of bread. My mom's like, you are embarrassing me. Butter's so good. We will never come back to this Denny's.

Anyway, just be healthy. Don't avoid extreme diets. You know what I mean? Everything in moderation. All right, we're going to take another break, and we'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. back. 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified.

Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this?

We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

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.

And do you guys just want to, we have enough time for either an under or a myth. Do you guys want to just choose one?

Or you think you can get to both? We can get to both. All right. I think the myths are more important, but we can maybe just sound off our unders. Okay. Teresa, what is your underrated? My underrated is getting mad at people. Oh, hell yeah.

I feel like you're trying to be all repressed and stuff, and you're not supposed to be mad, but sometimes if you're actually mad and you've justified, it's good to talk it out. I'm really mad about this. And then you talk about it and then you're like okay cool

oh that's so true honesty yeah don't put those feelings down yeah honor thyself as someone who has lived much of my life as a conflict avoidant person

that is absolutely very true oh me too yeah yeah no I agree I agree I agreed before though yeah no no no you're right Miles Yeah. Yeah. No, I agree. I agree. I agreed before, though.

Yeah. No, no, no. You're right, Miles. My underrated is Kitchen Nightmares from Gordon Ramsay. Because when you watch the show over and over, you start to see the traits of a person. Because the show deals with restaurant owners who have failing restaurants. But it's typically born out of their denial that there is a problem or that they are inefficient at their job. And it's interesting to always watch this cycle of people having to confront their failure. And you see the first day there's just

total denial. And then eventually they come around to it. And I can, and like, when you see that over and over, I've learned to see that in many other things. So thank you, Gordon Ramsay. And also for my shot in Freuda because that's my favorite type of show is expert comes to a place and says, you're a fucking idiot. And I love that kind of reality show. Yeah. And he actually says you're a fucking idiot. Oh, yeah. I mean, he literally says that.

The other ones are like, okay, we could work with that. We can work on this. I remember Tabitha Salon Takeover was kind of like that shit too. Oh, yeah. Tabitha. Shout out to Tabitha. You know, all the Aussies. Anna?

Oh, I'm sorry. No? Yeah, no, you totally skipped mine. That's fine. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anna, what's your underrated? It's fesenjun, which is a dish in Persian cuisine. Highly recommend fesenjun if you go to a Persian restaurant anytime soon.

Everyone's all like, gorma sabzi. Get the fuck out of here i'm so fess in june in this fess in june it's like this like very nutty chicken stew and it's it tastes it's got like pomegranate flavors and tomatoes and it's like it's like savory and sweet it's like a mind fuck and it is so good and people out here just eating gorma sabzi guys there is more delicious persian food out there what's gorma sabzi gorma sabzi is like this it's like one of the most it's iran's national dish it's like one of the most popular iranian um dishes it's like another stew but it's a little bit more greens in it and okay yeah and they also they all have like chicken or some sort of beef or meat or something in it um i high recommend Fess and June. It is delicious.

Go to your neighborhood Persian cuisine and order some Fess and June. Get some rice on the side and get nutty. All right. That was weird. Sorry. Wow. It's so good. Turned into Samantha there for a second.

Oh, no. Oh, my God. You will love Fess and June. It is so nutty. It sounds like you're saying like confessing in june yeah that's a good way to remember it you've just given us a pneumatic uh my underrated is just all the invisible jobs that people do on a daily basis to make the world around us work like the community around us. Yeah. I feel like it's similar to, yeah, no, people who actually contribute to their intangible ways to their community. It's similar to like how when you have something wrong with your body and suddenly you appreciate

that your body is normally this like 3 million part humming machine that works almost perfectly. three million part humming machine that works almost perfectly. I feel like having this president has made me appreciate all the jobs that do normally work and all the presidents that have been good at their job up to this point. And the activists too. Yeah, absolutely the activists. And, you know, I think I bought into the idea that like bureaucrats and the government were evil just because I was raised in the 80s. And, you know, bureaucrats and movies were the shitty dude from Ghostbusters who wanted to shut down the Ghostbuster ghost containment machine just because for no fucking reason. And yeah, man, there, there's a lot of people

who view it as a calling to go out and help people. The public sector is really good at its job a lot of the time. Yeah, shout out to social workers. Shout out to activists. Shout out to all the unsung heroes, especially in this midterms. I forgot to say that too after the midterm elections because, man, without all the people who really took all these issues very seriously and helped mobilize a lot of these voters, probably wouldn't have happened.

And it takes people like that who are acting fully selfless to make that happen also. Yeah, for sure. Shout out to all y'all. What's a myth? Teresa, what's a myth that people think is true you know to be false? Here's a myth. This is what's a myth that people think is true you know to be false? Here's a myth. This is more of an opinion, but, you know, because in the spirit of holidays, we're all supposed to think Scrooge was like this bad guy who just became good.

But I don't think he was bad. Like, he was a sad person who got kind of, like, treated badly and then had no friends and nobody loved him. And he was kind of all these people with families just rubbing it in his face, like, I got to go home to my family that loves me. And it's like, that's sad. And,

and so, and it wasn't until he saw that people could care about him, that he became good. And that was the answer all along. He was never a bad guy. People were just kind of shitty to him. Did he employ someone like wasn't what's with tiny Tim? Wasn't that someone's kid?

Like he didn't seem to have empathy apparently. Cause he was like, I don't care about your sick kid, but it was because people were mean to him, and so he was trying to protect himself. Man, it does sound like Ebony. Well, what's the story of Ebony? It depends on the story.

I'm thinking of the Muppet one. Oh, okay, got it. Because in some, I feel like Tiny Tim's dad is like, why don't you come to my house for Christmas because you don't have anyone. And he's like, fuck you. Your family's ugly. Fuck out of here.

I don't know. I am only vaguely remembering this. Scrooge is also an underrated movie. One way to look at it, maybe he was just minding his own business. He's like, yo, leave me the fuck alone. In all the flashbacks, you see that he was hurt. And then you're supposed to be like, oh, see, this is a bad guy who like blah, blah, blah. Like this explains it.

But it's like, I don't think he was a good guy that became a bad guy who became a good guy. He was just the same guy. Yeah. And you just have more empathy. Yeah. And throughout the world, other bad guys may be treated like it's a cycle. So I think we always think in movies like villains start as good people and become villains and then become good. Yeah, and throughout the world, other bad guys may be treated like it's a cycle. So I think we always think in movies like villains start as good people and become villains and then become good.

It's like, no, it's just we're all one thing. And I don't know, maybe we just have to move through the world. Don't be rigid and just put him in the villain box like that. Maybe he's a tortured old man box that he needs to go into. Yeah, and don't assume someone's good because I'm a villain. Oh, I know. Right, right, right, right, right. I feel like that's, whatever, Miles, someone's good because I'm a villain. Oh, I know. Right, right, right, right, right. I feel like that's, whatever.

Miles, what's your myth? No time. Mine is that you have to eat turkey on Thanksgiving. Ooh. Because let me be real here. I fucking, I don't, when I think about it, I don't like turkey that much. I like it out of a sense of nostalgia and tradition. I don't, like when I eat it, I don out of a sense of nostalgia and tradition. I don't, like, when I eat it, I don't eat a lot of turkey.

I eat some of the dark meat, mostly dark meat, and then I usually just eat stuffing and mac and cheese and all the other things. What I love, I love other kinds of, like, I would eat fish. I feel like Thanksgiving, you know... On Thanksgiving? Yeah, I feel like Thanksgiving... Fish?

Yeah, mate. Yeah, mate. Love Thanksgiving Fish? Yeah, mate Yeah, mate Love a bit of fish As the New Zealand As the Kiwis would say I think Thanksgiving to me Is about giving thanks And being grateful

So why not surround yourself With also the foods That sort of really Bring those feelings out of you And not be I feel like we're very rigid That there are these things You have to eat

Now I'm not saying You shouldn't eat turkey But like There's no room for a prime rib in there. I would eat the shit out of prime rib with the Thanksgiving. And I don't care if the flavors clash. I just feel like my selfish version of Thanksgiving, eating the best foods that you want. Because that's what I love about it is eating great food.

And the turkey thing, it's fine and I get it. But it's not, you know, outside outside of that i'm never looking for a roasted turkey or whatever and so it's just like a thing that i know we eat in november but also like let's let's leave some more room baby let's bring some new meats into here yeah because thanksgivings this is we're we're past the thank you to the native americans who saved us from starvation gaslighting rearranging of history. Pigeon. Pigeon. There you go.

Thank you. That's like a, like we used to only do like potluck Thanksgiving because my parents, Asian friends wouldn't do turkey. So it would be like chow mein, like random stuff, but we'd still gather. But then one year we, my sister and I complained because we were like, we're not American enough. Yo, exact same thing. And then they started doing turkey. Yes. My mom, we'd have like like I remember two years in a row

we didn't have mashed potatoes because it was like, yo, all the Japanese people came over plus like arty friends of my dad who were just like, whatever, we're here drinking wine

or whatever it was. And yeah, I just remember wanting like to do the American thing and just like when we were talking about Lunchables and how like the pendulum swings back the other way,

you're like, no, like that's my, that's like my comfort food too and i'm not i guess it could be the fact that because i'm japanese and american that i realized there are multiple itches that i need to scratch on thanksgiving and it's not just like the overtly american cuisine my mom puts rice in the turkey though it's a special type of rice but but as a stuffing. It's good. Bring me back some. Yummy, yummy.

Have you ever had a brined turkey? Yeah. That shit is good. What's brined turkey? It's like real salty on the outside. Like they rub salt into the skin. And sometimes you just let it sit in that salt water. Yeah.

Perf, like to actually absorb a lot of salt water into the meat. Yeah. And I love a fried turkey. Don't get me wrong. I like turkey. What I'm saying, what I'm saying, the myth is that there's no space for other meats

and another meat can't be the, the showcase meat. We're roasting a chicken this year. Yeah, exactly. See, you're not doing turkey. And do you feel bad about it? Not at all. See?

Yeah. Do you guys ever do that? But I'm open-minded, mom. Yeah, so you open your third eye. Yeah. Do you ever do the mash with the marshmallows on top? Yes, the candied yams.

I thought you meant like potatoes. Russet potatoes with marshmallows on top. I always call that stuff mash when it's all mashed. People are listening to this on Friday being like, stop talking about Thanksgiving food. I'm fucking dying. Those are the best days, though, too. When you have all those leftovers.

That's true. Just pouring cranberry sauce into though too. When you have all the leftovers. Yeah, that's true. That's true. My God. Just pouring cranberry sauce into my eyelids. There you go. I love cranberry. And I just thought you were crying blood. Cranberry in Turkey is like. We cannot recommend pouring cranberry sauce.

I just love it. That's just how much I just want to be in it. Okay. Get it, daddy. Sorry, real quick. Do you know that scene in Pineapple Express when Craig Robinson just puts his hands in the food? That's me.

Every Thanksgiving? I'm glad we decided not to invite you over for Thanksgiving. Oh no, I'm still coming. What is a myth? It already happened, so. Me? Oh. So producer Anna Hosni. My myth, and this is very serious for me,

the myth is that you have to be ashamed of your pooping because I would like to remove the stigma of poop culture. In public, right? Sure, you can poop in public if you want. It is weird. You will probably get a ticket if a cop sees you. But I'm just saying everyone's all ashamed. They're being like, oh, no, I don't want anyone to know I have to poop. I don't poop.

I'm in public. Oh, no. It's like, want anyone to know i have to poop i'm in public oh no it's like it's fine you have to poop if you're not if you're not pooping you're not healthy okay yeah me and my boyfriend check in on each other because if i don't no you don't yes he does because he'll be like i don't know i did not hear you pooping these last few days are you okay wow what do you mean not here so he's used to some kind of like metal drum solo happening in the bathroom. He's used to me being in the bathroom. It's basically like I spend a lot of time in the bathroom and then you hear just the

spray of like. Oh, got you. And he's like, so he's like, are you okay? You feeling okay? Have you ever used poopery? No, I have used it in other people's homes. We don't own it in our own home, but it's been discussed. You poop at other people's houses?

If I have to poop, I'm going to poop. All right. See? That's a strong move. See what you're doing right now? No, that's not a shame. That's more of a comfort thing. It's a comfort thing.

Yeah, that's true. But I think there shouldn't be any shame. Like, it's just a, it's nothing. It's like. Wait, but who are you pushing back against? Who did you encounter recently who was trying to poop shame you? Like culture in general. Like it's, there's always this thing of like oh no i don't like oh i you know

people just try and like keep it so low-key and it's like you should be able to be like i need to go to the bathroom for a while because i need to poop without someone being like ew yeah like what do you mean it's just the body like i i don't know whenever like i've done things like you do a wedding and you split a hotel room with, like, another couple or somebody to save money, I'm always like, look, in the morning, I'm going to have to take a shit. Yeah. And just let me do my thing. If I'm in there, please do what you got to do. But I need my solid 25 minutes in there.

Yeah. I don't think it's an ashamed thing, but I think it's, like, a privacy thing, if that makes sense. I also don't like to poop around people because it feels like it's, I don't know, it's not gross, it's just like, I'll turn the shower on if someone's on the other side of the hotel room.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. For noise. Yeah, because we'd be doing these loud shits. I think that's what we're all learning about each other. No, it's not. It's just like, you know what, okay,

maybe there is a bit of embarrassment, but it's more like privacy of like, I want to- Yeah, in general, yeah. Anything. Like, I have to tweeze my eyebrows. I don't want to do that in front of someone. I'm not ashamed of it. It's just like a very like, oh, this is how it works.

It's comfortable because you don't then come out and be like, no, I've never pooped. It's like, I prefer that I don't have to think that there's an audience for my bowel movements. No, no. You don't have to be like, I'm shitting. But I just, I want to get to a place where we're like, Yeah, we call you poop-ra. Where we don't even like,

there's not even, we're just like, well, someone, you know, you're going to go to the bathroom here. I'm glad you stand up for our rights. You know, I appreciate it. We just got to poop sometimes. Thank you.

No shame. Jack, what's a myth? That being a sports fan is in any way masculine. That being a sports reporter is in any way masculine. That being a sports reporter is respectable. Sports reporting is basically being a gossip columnist. I think that's especially true now. It's a male gossip columnist.

They're always talking about relationships and KD having his feelings hurt by Draymond. Yeah, it's just being a gossip columnist. It's just finding out what's going on with a set group of people and being the first to know the tea. I just noticed the other day that sports reporters, they take themselves so seriously. They used to call boxing the sweet science. And I think like sports reporters still like to do that. They're like, it's called the sweet science. And it's just two dudes beating the shit out of each other.

There's no science to it, but they're just like, they like to think of themselves in these, like as like, it's this scientific art form. It's just like, no, I mean,

yeah, I get pugilism or whatever. You can, there's a strategy, obviously like in a sport, but like, you know, let's,

let's be real. It's a motherfuckers fight. Yes. Um, anyway, and in East Corp, but like, you know, let's be real. It's a motherfucker's fight. Yes. Anyways. And we love it. That's going to do it for this Black Friday episode of the Daily Zeitgeist. Guys, it's been wonderful coming in with you on our Thanksgiving break and seeing you all. Yep, this was not in any way done before.

In any way taped before. We came back from the bay collectively. What about that Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? Oh, what a vision. One of my favorites. I mean, the Pikachu float really stole the show. That video

is also underrated. Check it out. That's going to do it for us. We will be back on Monday. Have a great Thanksgiving weekend, everybody. Yeah. Au revoir.
