It's me, your girl. Father long legs. There you go. How are you, Teresa? I am okay. You know, a little panicky. I feel like the times I don't panic is when I'm on a video chat or a live stream never thought it would be the day but here we are so

that's the only time you feel comfortable yeah yeah when i can't talk to someone i go on chat roulette just to kind of wow chat roulette man really missed the yeah just it's all about timing I mean I know you've been like hosting the best quarantine stream show yeah Jamie did our show Jamie did a burlesque number did

very very funny may have shown some nip very shocking but hilarious yeah I feel like you've been doing a lot of have shown some nip. Very shocking. That was a mistake. That was a mistake. Yeah, I feel like you've been doing a lot of live shows during the quarantine, a lot of live streaming comedy shows. That is the illusion. Yeah.

No, we started this live stream show and we've been doing it every weeknight, me and Barbara Gray and producer Sam Varela. So that's been kind of nice. It's of like like an hour of interaction a day it's weird because it sort of feels like oh i'm getting ready to do a show and then um it's called comedy quarantine but right after immediate dread just as soon as you log off immediately right because you don't have like the hang after the show you just it's just and i'm by myself that's it for the comedians you need like a separate zoom meetings for the comedians to do like the post-show decompression drink like without an audience around like yeah

all right cool just to just to replicate that vibe just to complain about our careers yeah i mean it's it's gotten to the point where i'll uh dress i mean i'm i'm in jeans today which is pretty fancy for a quarantine but i've been like getting dressed up for the show like i'll put on uh makeup and the other day i put on perfume like who is that for i don't know wow it's for you that's the ultimate i wanted to feel like I was going somewhere, you know? I don't know. I want to feel something, anything. Yeah. I want to feel a human touch.

I don't know why I got so defensive inside when you said you were wearing jeans right now. I don't know why. I thought that was like an attack against me. I didn't say anything, but I was like, oh my god, what the fucking wearing jeans right now? Who do you think you are? I'm not proud. Russell Athletic

Cotton has become part of my DNA sequence. I mean, I bet joggers are just flying off the internet stores. I tried to order NASA joggers. Did you know they have them? They look really cool, but off the internet stores. I tried to order NASA joggers. Did you know they have them? They look really cool, but they're all sold out.

I think everywhere joggers are sold out. I couldn't find a pair of sweatpants anywhere, like online. They're just, they're like, no. Wait, really? I wonder if there is some sort of sweatpants store. Yeah, it was like saying that they couldn't deliver me a sweatsuit for like a month and i looked at maybe the toilet paper it could be that they're like the quarantine clothing it's not a necessary thing to ship right now so maybe we'll not prioritize those shipments fan theory there's a global sweatpants shortage yeah i think everyone

wants the sweatpants it's it's They're high in demand right now. Directly connected to the Tabasco agreement. That's fine. I'm just going to wear the same pair of pants until I die. I'm okay with that. It's the new normal. Teresa, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners

a couple of things we're talking about. Forbes has released a list of people you can eat for dinner today, a.k.a. their list of billionaires. The butthole cut of cats is real. We're going to talk about how we know that and what there still remains to be learned about that subject. We're going to talk about the Wisconsin election.

We're going to talk about the wisconsin election we're going to talk about uh the press secretary uh we're going to talk about who got the story of the coronavirus the most wrongest uh and we're going to talk about quibi a lot of quibi quibi content we've been talking a lot about it and we finally we've been able to get put some quib in our brain and we'll see what happens yeah the quibi show I was working I do wonder if production not to bring down wonder if anybody who doesn't work in the entertainment

industry gives a shit at all no no no half of our listeners I would say no not half 80% of zeitgeist like I would never fucking heard of quibi until you guys just started getting so obsessed with it. I am selfishly like, I can't believe I can't bitch about Quibi IRL.

Having to bitch about Quibi remotely is unique. Does Quibi and, I mean, what are the numbers on CISO's first days? Oh, I know we're not there yet, but I'm curious. If they're the same, that would be so hard. Oh, we'll get there. I think it has good numbers compared to everything except for Disney+, but it has more money invested in it than Disney+, or anything else.

And ironically, all Jeffrey Katzenberg ever wants to do is outdo Disney, and then he never does. But first, Teresa, we like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are or who we are at this moment? Well, I've really just spent a lot

of time alone. I researched this. I googled this yesterday because i remembered this story and i don't actually think it exists but i googled was there a goddess that lost her powers because in my mind i remember a greek myth where this greek goddess slept with a mortal and lost her powers but fell in love and was so in love she gave them up. But I couldn't find it. The closest thing I got was Calypso, that came up a bunch, but Calypso was a nymph in the Greek myth,

or Greek story of Odysseus. And he, she saved him, so she didn't lose her powers, but then she lost him. But I don't know, I couldn't figure it out. And then I was like, maybe, I don't know, maybe my subconscious is trying to tell me something. Do you feel like you're losing your powers? Well,

I don't think I have powers. No, I don't think I have powers, but not magic powers. Metaphorically speaking. Well, I guess we all do. You're right.

But no, I don't know. I just had this very strong memory of a story like this and I couldn't find it but then I did look up Calypso and went down that path and I think she's often seen in a negative light as like a seductress but when you read this story it's actually very interesting because she saves him from he like is about to die she saves him he loses his ship and then in the story Odysseus is like, I will just stay with you for seven years and just sleep with you, have kids with you,

but miss my wife the whole time. And then Zeus eventually sends Hermes to release Odysseus. And Calypso pleads. And she's like, no, but he's my husband. And they're like, no, you're keeping him from his wife so then he she helps him build the boat to leave she's that in love with him that she helps him build the boat to leave her and she says before he leaves like why do the male gods get to go kidnap humans all the time and have them forever and when i do it you take him away from me but she lets him go and then and then i think in the story it's debated, but apparently she just pines for him and is sad forever

because she's immortal. Meanwhile, he goes home and gets rewarded. He's rewarded for being loyal to his wife. But he's having children and sleeping with all the nymphs. He's not loyal. He's fighting them. I hate mythology.

You know what? That needs to be a new podcast. You talk about mythological people like there are celebrities. They're like, he did what? No. No, no, no. Teresa, what is something you think is underrated? I think Jhene Aiko is underrated.

I've been really vibing with her new stuff and her old stuff. Even going back to listen to her old stuff, she's kind of been the same throughout, except now she's way more in her element I feel like growing up I listened to a lot of pop music and thought oh this is for me and then I listened to Jhene Aiko and I was like oh this is for me like I am her audience and she's so great uh if you guys don't know her she look her up she's amazing uh but she has a song called pussy fairy and she has a line in it that i think is just so great it's like so um sensual but also like honest and doesn't feel it feels very female it's like the line is she's thinking about like how her pussy is so magical

it's like a fairy and she says that dick make my soul smile that dick make me so proud i'm like i love that line because it's such a like beautiful interpretation of sex but also it is like sexual it's not just like oh it's just you know wholesome it's both so i like it a lot that's like aspirational i've never yeah i'm really proud of what's going on they're gonna be a lot of people in bed tonight sitting with their partner and go you know honey I just don't know if that dick make my soul smile I'm going to tell Isaac his dick makes me proud and see if he has a panic attack

yeah I love Janae shout out to a fellow local LA Blasian she's really dope I remember her sister was more famous. At first, her sister was bigger than she was. And then her sister kind of fell to the back. And then, yeah, Janae became, yeah, doing her own thing. Because they were, were they both dancers?

I don't know much about her sister. Her sister, her performer name was Mila J. And she was like a singer also. But like, I think, I don't know. I think around like the B2K time is when like Jhene kind of started. Oh my God. Bum, bum, bum. Coming up. Yeah.

They're like, oh, that's Lil Fizz's cousin. She's also like, her and Big Sean are interesting too, because they, I feel like, make each other's music better. But their music is so, I mean, it's so different. But when they are together, they, I feel like it's very like raw and honest. So I like it a is so i mean it's so different but when they are together they i feel like it's very like raw and honest so i like it a lot yeah it's weird it's like it's like having two talented friends but they're so transparent with their work that you're like oh right this is about sean again huh yeah yeah i mean no it's good don't get me wrong like the song fucking is big bangs but like damn like you can only talk about Jhene so long.

I've never even thought about that. She's proud of Big Sean's dick, and he's the one that's making her soul smile. There's a lot of songs about Big Sean's dick. I'm trying not to think about that part, but you know. Didn't he make some very over-the-top brag about how many times they had sex in one night? Oh, yeah. He made her cum nine times in one night yeah yeah that's what i'm saying it's on a track though it's on a track that i think they sang together uh yeah it is yeah yeah yeah yeah my favorite my favorite overly personal petty song is that when that the i don't fuck with you about naya rivera

it's my favorite petty song in the world that's great he was so in love with i remember at the time they were dating like they he she came with him to do a radio appearance at the radio station i worked at and they were so in love it was a while like i was like damn bro like i want it like those two people and they were like the djs were teasing like oh so when is there gonna be a kid like i don't know what do you think honey like maybe a year or something they were full on what you know you hate to see it wait this is big sean and who and naya rivera back in the day oh right there he's like uh the like the popular girl in middle school that's always in a relationship like he like i feel like he's the that archetype like he's just always like

this is my the one like we're going to homecoming and it's like immediately decorate my locker to look like her the big sean the big in his name is his big heart he he has a lot of love to give he's a very spiritual guy he's a very spiritual guy though too he like listens to a lot of weird out there spiritual tapes. Well, that's what happens at the end of I Don't Fuck With You. He's yelling at Naya Rivera. He's like, you're stupid, blah, blah, blah. You're a bitch, blah, blah, blah.

And then at the end, he's like, but I've found God, and I'm dating Ariana Grande. And that's how the song ends. It's really funny. But I've moved on. And I've moved on, so it's fine. And I'm sure that things are going to go perfectly with Ariana, so screw you, Nyra.

Nothing ever went wrong with her at some one side. No, no, no. Oh, I do love the celebs. Wait, guys, look at my shirt. There it is. It's Ariana. It is Ariana. What is something you think is overrated?

Purses. I'm going to go with fashion on that one. I used to have a lot of purses, love purses, realize I think basically since I moved to LA, I haven't used a purse really. Except for, you know, I basically use backpacks and totes. I mean, like

you can come at me. It's not very fashionable or stylish, but... You can come at me. I haven't missed anything. I just mean like i haven't missed a thing you know like i i didn't realize i would go so long without one i think it started as just like i stopped caring and then i realized i haven't used a purse in years and my life is fine so i don't think we need them i think they'rerated. I think I have a purse, but it's so dirty that I don't think of it as a purse. Right, you would never attain to describe it as a purse in public.

It's just a small, dirty bag I carry around. Is a tote smaller than a purse? No, it's bigger than a purse. Tote is bigger than a purse. Yeah, a tote's kind of like what you put your groceries in, but sometimes if I'm just going to the gym, I gotta gotta do you think like it's a you know like i feel like our moms would never not carry a purse like that's they define their femininity or their womanhood by adultness by having a purse and do you think like just for like us or younger we're just like i

don't know it's like a fucking it's not as functional unless you like you're super into the flex of a purse well i bet that it was like more like culturally more relevant for women to have purses when their clothes didn't have as many pockets like it was just like you just literally didn't because they used to call them like pocket books because you're just like oh yeah we're not allowed to have pockets. And you're not allowed to have books either. Right, yeah, and we're also not allowed to read or vote. That was the closest way we're allowed to get to books. Tell them that's a book. Yeah, just tell them that's a book. I don't know.

I have friends who still will spend a lot of money on purses and will be like, oh, this can't touch the ground, like that kind of thing. And I mean, I just feel like it's a scam like it's it's totally a scam versus our scam you're spending more money to put less money in it like i don't even know they're carrying around that much cash it's probably the most expensive thing they earn own you know the thing you hold your actual cash in shouldn't be more than the value of the cash you're putting within it yeah

yeah yeah totally uh finally what is the myth what's uh something people think is true you know to be false okay i'm gonna make this as short as possible but it is a little bit bananas okay because i've been thinking about the singularity a lot and uh and basically i had a conversation with my dad too where um he's very smart engineer but also is it born again and i've come to believe that he might not believe in evolution um but he's justified it to me in interesting ways and we just got in this conversation about uh religion and then basically what i realized and i think this true, but it doesn't mean anything people believe is false, is that truth itself, even if it's objective, will never find an objective truth because by processing it, like I'll give you an example. The color red.

We have different names for it in different countries. We all believe we're seeing the same red. There's no way to truly know if we're seeing the same red because by seeing it, you're going to have different reactions to it. Like you may feel love. You may feel hate, you might think it's blood, whatever. It's still red objectively, but by processing it, it's different. So let's say someone slaps you in the face and they're like, objectively, you were slapped. But depending on how often you've been slapped in life, if you grew up getting hit, if you've never been hit, if you like that person, that slap is going to have a different effect on you therefore there's no such thing as objective truth we got into this because we're

talking about religion and what's true and whether there's a heaven and hell he thinks i'm going to hell uh he still loves me though he doesn't want me to go so i basically was like the truth the truth is might exist somewhere but it doesn't really matter because people are looking at it therefore we have to figure out what it means when we process it and how to live in a society like we're not all going to come at truth from the same point of view so there's no one there's no one way to live anyways does that make sense i feel like that's yeah no that totally makes sense. I feel like that is essentially one of the key defining differences between the conservative viewpoint and the progressive viewpoint is conservatives believe there is one objective truth, and they think it's completely absurd that you would suggest that there isn't. And they think that all of the evils of the modern world come from cultural relativism and moral relativism. And I agree with you.

That is also one of the most quare conversations. I think as the quare continues, I feel like we're just calling up people being like, so let's get into it. Yeah, dude. All right, full. How many hours of Alan Watts lectures did you just listen to on YouTube right now?

Right. Fuck, yeah. Okay, so I've enrolled in the great courses and I have a couple of thoughts. Yeah. I will say that people have been sending me and I don't know that I want to watch any of them because I talk about the singularity a lot and I spend a lot of time alone now, yeah. I will say that people have been sending me and I don't know that I want to watch any of them because I talk about the singularity a lot

and I spend a lot of time alone now. Obviously I've been talking about it a lot and I'm getting the wrong type of reply guys. Like the type where I'm like, I don't know if I want to be in this community of people who talk about the singularity. Like people are responding and sending me videos. They're like, oh, check this out.

They talk about this. And I'm like, this isn't what I meant. meant and like i feel like you have a different idea like it's i'm talking about us like being heart harmonic not like you being better than me but there's a i'm getting sent videos of i don't know the guy you mentioned but stuff like that where it's like that's like brave of you to engage i feel so close to the edge right now that i not the not the man that i but i feel so close i feel so close i feel close to bono you feel close to the edge but i just i just think that any like online wormhole could be the thing that breaks me you know i'm just like being very careful well shit

that was a very profound conversation to go into our first break on we will be back shortly with alright we're going to take a quick break we'll be right back hey I'm Bruce Bozzi on my podcast podcast, Table for Two,

Secret fries. What? That's what you're saying? Yeah. And Kristen Wiig. I just became so aware that I'm such a loud chewer. My husband's just like, sometimes I'll be eating and he'll just be looking at me. I'm like, I'm just eating.

Like, I don't know how else to chew. Table for Two is a bit different from other interview shows. We sit down at a great restaurant for a meal and the stories start flowing.

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 US 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.

There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhearts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state.

And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And Forbes has released their list of billionaires. The article starts off being like, even billionaires get the coronavirus. Oh, boy. Overall, the richest people on earth

are not immune to the coronavirus is literally the first sentence of the article, the richest in 2020. World's billionaires list. What the fuck are they talking? I mean, okay, fine. Way to like dox yourself amid like all this fucking anger towards the 1%. Be like, and here's the Aria's list of 2020.

Right. It's weird because they actually have it on a map where they're like, here are the billionaires who live in your city. Which, yeah, I mean. That's wild. There's 50 billionaires in the Los Angeles area. Elon Musk is close by. Still, I don't think has given a car to Morgan Murphy,

who he stole the tweet from. Oh, right. Dude, I try and launch thisbes website to look at this because i get a full-on interactive list i think i'm too poor for the website to work properly on my computer like i'm i'm use all kinds of internet all the time for whatever reason this fucking page won't open properly it like crashes it is very glitchy you're always bragging about how you use all kinds of the internet all the time you know guys i use all kinds of the internet they're trying to keep this is just a website that it's like a vpn specifically for billionaires to check out each other right right right it's a dating site to

watch it i mean it makes sense like to have or not right right right it's a dating site to watch it i mean it makes sense like to have or not make sense but it's good to actually have this because it helps you understand that it's not like that there's like only 20 billionaires in the world like it's an entire whole group whole crew uh and you can kind of begin like you do a little research and you're like oh right this person has so much money because they have- Let me put it in these terms. There are three billionaires in Reno. Boom. It's so weird because I talked to somebody

about the idea of why it's so crazy to have that much money and be sad about losing. Because people with that much money will bet on money markets and things and they'll be willing to lose a lot at once once but then i'm like if you're willing to lose a million couldn't you just like you could literally give like just give two million dollars to you know to this community or something and that's not how they think and that's what i'm like i'm not saying that you some people work hard and get money but there's no way you can get to that point and have a good conscience

if you're just losing money for fun. If you're gambling. Yeah, you get there by having no conscience. Yeah, exactly. It's the way that they get there that means that they will never think of money the way that we do. I always think of that Trump story where he,

this magazine was trying to find out who was the greediest and stingiest of all the millionaires in New York in the 80s, and so they sent them increasingly smaller checks. And the only millionaire who cashed everyone down to, I think it was like 25 cents, was Donald Trump. Oh my god.

Yeah. Guys, let's talk about the butthole cut. People want it, man. Yeah. A Daily Beast investigative report finds that they had to do hours of tireless visual effects work to erase all the buttholes.

The only detail I don't fully buy from the story is they make it sound like the buttholes just naturally migrated onto... We're talking about cats, by the way, in case people aren't... The movie cats, not the animal. The movie cats. Adaptation. Yes. by the way in case people aren't the movie cats not the movie animal cats adaptations yes so basically they they interviewed a source who worked on the vfx of the movie uh and that source said when they were halfway through someone finally noticed the buttholes we paused it a source who worked on the film's visual effects said we went to call our supervisor and we're like there's a fucking asshole in there there's buttholes it wasn't prominent but you saw

it and you were just like what the hell is that there's a fucking butthole in there it wasn't in your face but at the same time too if you're looking you'll see it yeah um the source goes on to state that no one flat out ordered buttholes added to the digital cat people. And that is the thing that I don't believe because that is a choice. We got buttholes. That is a big choice. Somebody ordered buttholes in here? Yeah, somebody definitely.

No, they're definitely not. Those don't just naturally migrate into a movie like that was somebody's vision that they were like, we need buttholes on these cats. That is the that's the journalistic work that I feel like still needs to be done on this story. I wonder who somebody had to fight to get those buttholes in there in the first place. Thought or like, I don't know. I mean, part of me just thinks like, I wonder culturally if the artist who was doing like the renderings isn't American. Like if you would just draw a butthole on a cat, because that's just part of like if you did a cat drawing, you'd kind of represent the butthole in some way.

So maybe it was just about butthole representation not butthole erasure it's very clear you have cat smiles based on what you're saying because yeah because i'm like yeah i mean they got buttholes man you see that you see a cat's butthole if you spend a lot of time around a cat well because their cat their tails go straight it's like a dog a lot of dogs their their tail covers their asshole but you know with a cat they see you and they greet you their tail goes up and from back you're like oh yeah they see you and they greet you their tail goes up and from back like oh yeah they got a fucking butthole that's right if you ask someone to name like the top five traits of a cat that you feel like make a cat i do feel like butthole would

make that list i mean i think ears and whiskers probably top yeah i think i think butthole would make that list even before whiskers or fur i would would say butthole. Wow. We'll see. I feel like you share something in common with somebody on the VFX staff. And I just want to know, we have the story of how the buttholes got taken out. I want the first part, the story of how the buttholes got put in. Because that is a choice, whether it's accurate or not. Somebody had to decide and had to study cat assholes to figure out what they would look like on a cat that is in human form.

And then the only other thing we need, we desperately need a visual for this because there's still no visuals on what... That's why they must release the cut you know um otherwise we're just going to be speculating in our our made for tv docudrama about this whole saga called how did i get here the cat's butthole cut story has someone made a you know an unsanctioned version of cats with buttholes yet i feel like that must exist that's a lot of that's a lot of frames you'd have to paint but yeah it's a bit labor of work it's true

like even just i just want to see like a youtube video where one of the people who had to remove the buttholes like adds the buttholes back so we like know what they looked like because i mean clearly they spent a lot of time looking at them i'm sure they would be exactly it's gonna be i'll tell you this much it'll it's easier to just show us the buttholes because they were there in the first place than to paint them and take them away so just show us what you got what are your hopes for the butthole i mean are you feeling like expectations wise if you see them do you feel you'll be disgusted will you be generally profound is it and just generally in my in my life i've learned not to have too much

expectation around a butthole so i'm just going to yeah i'm just going to just take it as it comes you know and just be there and be open it's good to keep yeah stay open about those but yeah very immature butthole openness is an important trait i find in a in a podcast absolutely uh but i'm i'm more interested in what like when i see it i'm interested in what my reaction is and what what it teaches me about myself the wild shit is i'm looking to me about myself. The wild shit is. I'm looking to learn about myself. Jack, you or I have never even seen fucking cats. You've never seen cats?

No. Wow. I was in cats. I don't know. I'm curious what that butthole cut going to do to me, though. Let's talk about Wisconsin real quick. Let's shoehorn some serious news in because the governor tried to delay voting. But since the state is mostly controlled by Republican goblins, the party decided that

it was a good idea for the people of Wisconsin to go vote out in public during a pandemic. Yeah. uh, go vote out in public during a pandemic. Yeah. This is just, uh, you know, the governor initially was like, maybe it should be to like June. Uh, you know, that makes sense at the very least. And then we can reassess from there. But like you said, Republicans are like, no, let's try and figure out how we can disenfranchise voters, you know, as aggressively as possible. Um, and you know, once that didn't work, he tried to get mail-in ballots at least to buy people a little bit longer like till april 13th i believe something like that to get their ballots in and that decision was eventually overturned by the fucking supreme court of the united states

in a five to four decision um and yeah you look at there's like people in five hour lines in like milwaukee uh again this the state has had shelter in place or stay-at-home orders for two weeks, yet they are saying, go in line and risk the safety of yourself and your community, your household, because there's just enough assholes on the other side of the coin to be like, yeah, let's just force this. Let's just make this happen and see what happens then. Yeah, so messed up. How many billionaires are in wisconsin because it's also not even like it's like all

in place for them to not do this it's not like it's it's not like the wheels are so in motion you can't so it really does feel like so unnecessary at that no and it's yeah freaking like you know the nba can cancel coachella can cancel like everything has you know plans like plans are being ruined it's not like you're this would be the only thing that has to readjust but it's totally within the realm of possibility to adjust and for the greater good so it's like why the only thing i think you can argue like wouldn't be movable is like some kind of space launch that actually requires like celestial alignment to like get like a trajectory right or like a fucking eclipse yeah right the eclipse the eclipse doesn't know about fucking covet 19 i i mean i partially was just theorizing this but

we're not that far from being able to go to the moon for fun for people and if this all lines up i mean people are going to be getting the fuck off of Earth. We're probably still kind of far, but I don't know how long craziness is going to ripple after we handle coronavirus. And I think the moon is going to seem like a very real option very soon.

But what is the moon but a glorified cruise ship? Yeah, that's what I'm scared of. I'd be like there and it's just a big tank. It's just quarantine, though. We're all prepared to go to space. What if this is Elon Musk's way to prepare us for isolation

so that we'll all want to buy? Okay, fine. Too far. All right. Yeah, I feel like Elon Musk, they had to literally pull the plug on his factory. He had to be threatened legally before he would stop sending people to work in his factories. He's a bad person when it comes to how he treats his employees.

It's pretty fucked. Well, guys, big news. The white smoke has come out of the White House, and we have a new press secretary. Thank God. Everybody is thrilling to this news stephanie grisham was the white house press secretary uh which she i think may be the very first white house press secretary in the history of that position who never had a single press briefing as a secretary that's fucking chill dude that i mean it's so she has a

hard job there was a fucking quote i remember when she was first working where she was like oh man like i'm so tired like but i just got to be able to keep up with the president that's all and it's like we've never heard you actually do the job of a press secretary so whatever the uh you know what's going on it's clearly because mark Meadows is now chief of staff in the White House and he wants to get a fucking proper goon in there. And they've got one in Kayleigh McEnany, who's like, you know, she's a campaign spokesperson. But even before this was always defending the president. She's the kind of like blonde hair, like, you know, cold, blue eyed monster woman who says shit on fox news like if ilhan omar hates america so much why doesn't she just leave and like does it with like that very straight face

where you're like okay i'm talking to a fucking like troll machine so uh having someone who is you know also went to harvard so that means qualified uh in the president's eyes that she'll be a very capable liar and shameless just you know fucking monster probably if she even has a press briefing but based on how she speaks already she looks like she's a a great fit for that merry band of racists oh jesus yeah so she's a fox news person she's an american spokesperson political commentator and writer former cnn contributor shout out to cnn yeah and a spokesperson for the rnc yeah she was on trish reagan's show the woman who got let go because she was like this is an impeachment hoax this whole coronavirus thing and when she was still on the air kaylee mcconaughey comes on and she's like the president will never allow a sickness to enter

this country the coronavirus will never enter this country not a single american will be affected by this terrorists will not enter this country just like you're like whoa whoa whoa whoa didn't like even a science teacher tell you to never speak in absolutes but okay uh yeah so that's the kind of that's the kind of energy she's bringing to the mic. I always feel like with the messaging of the White House now, it's not even because we've already moved past the point of holding anybody accountable for or being able to hold them accountable for lies and their followers don't care. But I feel like it's almost at a point where it's like gambling. Like he's the followers of like Trump's like crazy lies just like to feel like they're winning. Like even if they know they're not, it's like literally gambling. Cause he could just say like,

I'll never let a terrorist in. And then that moment they feel that high of like, yeah, we'll never. And then if a terrorist comes in, he'll say something else and they'll be like, yeah, we won.

And they never go back to look at how they lost because it's for them. It's all about just like delaying the losing feeling and continuing the high of like, I'm winning, I'm winning, I'm winning. So we're looking at it, trying to actually make a better tomorrow and fix it. But they're just trying to like have a good high right now.

Keep the high going. Yeah. Yeah. It's easy to talk shit. It's like a gambling addict. Especially when like nothing comes to your doorstep because you'll never actually, you might not have to ever experience it. And it's easier in your own mind, whether it's probably because you're scared to death that something could happen to you.

It's like, you just got to scream until your eyes bleed that it's never going to happen. Nothing ever bad will ever happen to me. I'm covered in the blood of Christ. It is literally kind of like an addict mentality, his followers, because there's no such thing as a rock bottom for them because they can keep going like,

well, we haven't hit it yet. But you could literally pick any moment and be like, that was a rock bottom. It's time to give up on your terrible orange leader and move on. It's all about your frame of reference. And I just don't think they're ever going to have their moment of clarity

because they have too much kind of tied up in the narrative that they've been following all along. So, I mean, that's a story we have on here is there's now, you know, the right-wing media is now sort of doing revisionist narrative where it was the mainstream media who never took it seriously and they're overstating how many from the right-wing media didn't take it seriously so the new york times wrote a fairly straightforward account of you know the right-wing media trump industrial ecosystem getting the story of coronavirus wrong there's some really good stuff like a fireside chat with

dennis prager of prager you where where he uh like, well into, I think it was after the NBA had closed down, he had a fireside chat where he said, how many people have died this year in the United States from snake bites? I mean, come on. Like, saying that, you know, it's not, this was on March 12th, so yeah, it was the day after the NBA had closed down and people started taking this shit seriously. And he was like, it's just as deadly as anything. Like lots of people die every year. You know, what about snake bites? Which is amazing because less than 10 people die of snake bites every year in the United

States. Like he picked the thing that is like so not deadly. Well, that meant that argument is also flawed because it's not saying like these deaths are replacing those snake bites they're additional deaths like trump tweeted about how the flu was killing 20 000 people and what i got from that was we should also do something about that number then like it doesn't just because there's more deaths doesn't mean the same number that's like how math works it's if two times 20 000 is 40 000 so that's more deaths doesn't mean the same number. That's how math works. If 2 times 20,000 is 40,000, so that's more deaths. They don't cancel each other out.

Yeah, and we don't just have a whole wing of a hospital that we were not using that are just ready for these 11,000 fresh deaths to just pile in there. And that's the problem. But yeah, so they're starting the process there was a national review article that was like the conservatives were not the only ones who underestimated the threat and it's just bullshit like all the quotes they're pulling are from the very very early stages of the coronavirus threat like they're just comparing basically things trump and Fox News were saying after it was clear and after scientists

were like, this is a really huge problem to, you know, things the mainstream media, which still completely full of shit, and I don't trust them at all, but they were at least a little bit earlier than the conservative media and Trump getting this right. One thing I missed that the New York Times article raises is they were reporting on survivor stories and contrasting them with the absolute panic over the coronavirus. On March 13th, Fox and Friends ran a segment featuring a 65-year-old woman who said she caught the virus

and barely had any symptoms. And host Steve Doocy asked about the, quote, absolute panic and noted the concern about older people in particular. Well, look at that, he said to the woman. But you were over 60, and it doesn't seem to have been a big deal to you, right? And then that interview got picked up by Rush Limbaugh, who, you know, 15.5 million people listened to him. So that was March 13th. That was like after

we were all sheltering in place. They were like, ah, look, you survived it. So that's one example. Yeah, it's I think it's just the the only sort of recourse they have now is to try and point fingers because it seems like I think someone's already trying to sue Fox News for downplaying their coverage of it and how it was going to lead to you know people's deaths uh and you know this is just it's just fucking dark that the motive of a lot of people who are really in the in the in the tank for trump is that like the only outcome they're seeking is like serves their ego or their sense of pride over another group of people it's not actually intangible outcomes in their quality of life like if if they could make every liberal cry but their house had to

burn down and they would suffer third degree burns they would do it and i think that's it wouldn't even be like here's a binary you can suffer your tremendous loss but maybe see your opponent in this perceived like game uh be you know to to be distraught or you can have a better quality of life and maybe you know not have to worry about medical bills or your children's education and their upward mobility and they'd be like no no give me the thing where the people cry on tv i want that yeah um yeah it's just fucking i mean and the stakes are just so fucking high now especially with a lot of the stats too seeing how much the coronavirus affects people of color especially black and brown people and uh native and native people uh just with their access and lack of access to proper trauma centers,

to ventilators, the fact that healthcare for African-American people, like we're sicker than white people. We're typically commuting longer distances and having to be on mass transit. There's just so much where a lot of people, I think we're looking at this and be like, you know, it touches everybody. But the other part that i think you know we'll probably begin to get more coverage in the in the media too is seeing that like you know in louisiana i think 70 of like the major cases of people who have like being hospitalized are black in michigan it's a disproportionate number all around you look we haven't seen much out of new york but yeah chicago is the same thing there's going to be this yes it's an equalizer

in the sense that we are only seeing how much more work needs to be done for things to be equal, but I don't, there's still these disparities are playing out in very, very dark and traumatic ways. Yeah. I even saw an article today about how it's harder for people of color to wear masks in certain places walking around because then they're discriminated against when they cover their face and that's something that you know a lot of white people don't even have to think about and you know the government's recommending everybody wear masks and you know there's talk of making it mandatory but then there's people there's people on your neighborhood that might you know put you in danger if they are scared of you and so it's like that's another layer that people aren't thinking about yeah absolutely it's not a great equalizer it's like that's another layer that people aren't thinking about. Yeah, absolutely. It's not a great equalizer.

It's more of a great sort of amplifier of all the things that are wrong in the country. And, you know, a crisis allows people who are wealthy to have even more advantages. And, you know, it just makes everything, all the things that just makes everything all the things that already exist all the dynamics that already exist it makes them life and death it's fucking not good yeah she great there was a did you see that megan amram tweet that was saying corona is a black light and america is a cum-stained hotel room yeah that's really it's, very well put. Yeah. It's a fucking mess in here. It's a better metaphor than amplify. Yeah.

It's a failed state. It's a failed state. Failed state. Let's take a quick break and we'll be back to talk about what's on all our listeners' minds everywhere around this great land, Quibi. Quibi. Hey, I'm Bruce Bozzi. On my podcast, Table for Two,

we have unforgettable lunch after unforgettable lunch with the best guest you could possibly ask for. People like David Duchovny. You know, New Yorkers have a reputation of being very tough, but it's not. It's not that way at all. They're very accepting. Jeff Goldblum. Are you saying secret fries? Secret fries. What? That's what you're

saying? Yeah. And Kristen Wiig. I just became so aware that I'm such a loud chewer. My husband's just like, sometimes I'll be eating and he'll just be looking at me. I'm like, I'm just eating. Like, I don't know how else to chew. Table for Two is a bit different from other interview shows. We sit down at a great restaurant for a meal and the stories start flowing. Our second season is airing right now, so you can catch up on our conversations that are intimate, surprising, and often hilarious. Listen to Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

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 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, fam. I'm Simone Boyce. I'm Danielle Robay. And we're the hosts of The Bright Side, the daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that is guaranteed to light up your day. Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us. Like our recent episode with dancer, actor, host of Dancing with the Stars makers who inspire us. Like our recent episode with dancer, actor, host of Dancing with the Stars, and now novelist, Julianne Hough. I feel really whole.

I feel like the last few years I've really unraveled a lot, which is part of what this book is about. And I really feel so content, which is a word that used to scare the crap out of me. And I love that word now. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks.

Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks Everywhere starting September 25th on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts

or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. So Quibi, real quick for anybody who missed the previous episode where we talked about this, it is an app where everything is specifically shot to uh format to your phone uh so it's like taller than uh most contact you can watch it either way horizontal port up vertical whatever it's optimized for no matter your position so tight so tight and this solves a problem that everybody was having. And so they have been, like in Los Angeles,

there's been for a couple years now, just tons and tons of money being poured into these productions for Quibi, which is this app that just launched two days ago. And I don't know. i was always a little bit skeptical just because i've seen this happen on much smaller scales uh when we were back at cracked and there was this thing called milk that was like for samsung phones and it was like just a proprietary app where we would put all this content on this app and

nobody used it. Nobody saw it. They poured all this money into it and it was just... I feel like people are more likely to stream content places where they already exist. So if you already have Amazon Prime, then they'll go to Amazon Prime.

You can't just force their hand, maybe. And it's not cheap either. It's like five bucks or something, four bucks a month. I think it's like seven bucks a month for the premium. It's not cheap. Yeah, I think it's $7.99 or something. Yeah, right, if you don't want ads. But it's basically fucking YouTube.

It's just YouTube, but shot on like Alexas, like shot on really nice cameras. It's like the highest quality. Because it's just YouTube but shot on on like Alexa's like shot on really nice cameras it's like which you can't even tell because it's so small it's like yeah and they started off with controversy like in our text thread Jamie sent a thing that from the everything is terrible people who you know they collect like weird video VHS performance art and media and things like that there's a show on quibi called memory hole hosted by will arnett and memory hole was even a youtube channel curated by the everything is terrible people and the logos were the same like quibi just full-on ripped off another media media group like company's whole brand and content essentially uh and it was wild because like will arnett's like

it's a great day for the new show and the replies were just like fuck you this was stolen you probably didn't some people were like hey you probably didn't know but this is trash you're fucking loser uh you sorry you maybe didn't know the creator is just a quote-unquote ripoff artist and the the creator the guy who created this show, I think Scott Vrooman or something, he was like deleting IG comments where people, I don't know, it got very weird. But that didn't stop me from watching some Quibi

because we've been trying to figure out what this is gonna be. I watched the first episode of Punk'd, hosted by Chance the Rapper megan the stallion uh it was fucking lame it was a gorilla suit bit so i'm like great chance the rapper fantastic megan the stallion great but like the quality of the punks the the old gorilla suit bit come on man no wait what do you mean by a gorilla suit bit like a guy in a gorilla suit and it's like you know like any prank show it's like oh the gorilla's on the loose it

was just a gorilla's on the loose we're like yeah megan the stallion's like dog someone took her dog she had to go get her dog from someone who it was like off the leash or whatever basically to get her to this point where it seemed like this guy had this gorilla in a cage and at one point when her friend has the dog the gorilla busts out of the cage like no the gorilla okay and the i'm so confused why that there's nothing oh you mean confused why they thought that was good yeah yeah i don't know what i mean so literally like an actual gorilla or it looks like a person in a gorilla suit and they're the bit is like she's she's so confused why there's somebody in a gorilla suit in a cage no no no no no no they wanted you thought it was a real gorilla yes they wanted it to look like they she saw a guy could be pummeled nearly to

death by a gorilla who broke out of a cage. Wait, I have a question. Did the gorilla have a butthole? Wow. I will have to pause and just check. Teresa asks the hard-hitting questions. It may have.

There's another show with Lena Waithe where it's a sneaker show called You Ain't Got These. And I'm like, oh, hell yeah. Like, I like sneakers. Like, Lena, like, her kid game is serious. So I feel like this is going to be an interesting thing. It felt like a weird branded video.

Like, there wasn't, it moved so fast and it was so broad. I'm like, this, it was almost like, I think they were doing the work of trying to introduce someone to sneaker culture. But if you like sneakers, you're like, this is wasted on me. Like get to the fucking the real shit.

And then the Nicole Richie thing I had to turn off in the middle of it where she was doing comedy. I watched that. It's a comedy show with Nicole Richie. She's like a rapper.

I watched it because my friend Jared is in it and he's great. But yes, I agree with you. It feels like they're trying to make it like there's so much niche content

you can get whatever you want but then also make everything niche so broad that's like this is for no one. Like who is going to watch that? I don't know. Yeah. Unless you're friends.

Like literally the only thing that I've been watching are things to support friends who sold a show and I'm like, cool, that that's great but i'm like if i was just a person in middle america i don't know what would draw me it feels like like gas station entertainment with a higher budget like it's like if it's on i might look at it for a few minutes and that's it like the video at the gas pump? Yeah, at the pump, yeah. Yeah, I mean, that's what they should be. That should be their model.

Yeah, embrace it. That should be their model is just selling their content to gas stations around the country. I watched one episode of The Will Forte Show, which was pretty funny. It seems like a solid network sitcom, except they can swear on it. a solid network sitcom,

except they can swear on it. And then I watched this Liam Hemsworth, the lesser Hemsworth. I think he's considered the lesser Hemsworth, right? I don't know. He's the one that married Miley Cyrus, right? Don't get me involved. Hey, man, you know how I am on the Hemsworths. Don't get me involved.

Hands off on the Hemsworths. It just seems like a sub- show that's like trying to be 24 where it's like this guy is being offered an ungodly amount of money if he agrees to be hunted like for sport and he's on heroin no he's not on heroin he's uh He's a great athlete who has cancer. Oh. So it's just like a very kind of standard NBC drama slash action show. And then he goes into the office of the rich guy and it's Christoph Waltz. It's like, what the fuck?

Wait, why is Christoph Waltz in this? wait, why is Christoph Waltz in this? And he's decent, but it's like the writing is even sub NBC level. So it just feels weird. It feels it's all sorts of different levels of quality like mashed up in each one of these shows. I'm still reserving my final judgment because I still want to see Barkitecture.

That was something I've been clocking since I first heard because I just feel like that would be some good toilet show to watch, like literally when you're on the toilet. And then the other one is the cleaning one. The cleaning one, I feel like I have to see. Like the people who enter the same room of like similar filth and have to get it as spotless as possible. That's another one i feel like i could get behind wait what's bar architecture is it building dog houses or is it

dogs building things oh god i prefer dogs building things but it's like opulent dog houses okay it's cut together like it's a reality show where there's like they're moving towards a goal but like the dog just never builds anything oh my god like a flip or flop type show but the two main characters are dogs and they're looking at like an empty house like and then like the construction workers like all right yeah so we'll expose the beams there all right the will forte show is a, and it's Caitlin Olsen. She's amazing, is a spoof of like those flip or flop type shows. Ah, got it. Anyways, let's talk about the content that people are actually clamoring for.

And that is Dr. Fauci merchandise. So same thing that we saw with Robert Mueller back during the Russia investigation is happening with Dr. Fauci. Now for that, they've, there's an Italian meal at a restaurant that is named after him. They're donuts with his photograph on them somehow that have become very popular.

The internet's full of t-shirts, bumper stickers, prayer candles, mugs bearing his face. You can even buy a replica of his high school basketball jersey, which is actually kind of tight. A Fauci throwback. Yeah.

Fauci throwback. He was the starting point guard, or actually, I don't know what position he played, but he was the captain of Regis High School basketball team. Oh, my God. I don't even know what that means. A doctor and an athlete.

Yeah. And a human. Wait, what school? I mean, in high school. Oh, that's in Manhattan. Regis in Manhattan. It's like a rich school. I think it's the school that Gossip Girl was

based on. The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame, which is apparently a thing, is selling a Dr. Fauci bobblehead. According to their CEO, bobbleheads are the ultimate honor. The CEO of the National

Bobblehead Hall of Fame, which would be easier to believe if the same website didn't sell a Kato Kaelin bobblehead. No, there's a Kato Kaelin bobblehead? Yeah, of course there is. Oh, boy. The guy who lived in OJ's back house has his own bobblehead. What?

And then some guy even made a video game in which Dr. Fauci shoots germs with lasers from his eyeballs. Oh, my God. So that's just the internet being good at internetting. Hell, yeah. There's also a petition to have Dr. Fauci be People Magazine's sexiest man alive. Good, good, good, good, good. And is on track to reach its goal of 5,000 signatures, at which point absolutely nothing will happen.

Yeah, also 5,000. Online petitions don't mean shit. Pathetic. 5,000, you only have 5,000 people horny enough for Dr. Fauci. He deserves better, America. He definitely does deserve better. Like I could actually see him making the list for sure because they throw curveballs on that list every once in a while.

Yeah, maybe he could be person of the year. I mean, I don't know. I mean, look, he's not blowing my hair back, making the list for sure. Cause they throw curve balls on that list every once in a while. Yeah. Maybe he's a big person of the year. I mean, I don't know. I mean, look, he's not blowing my hair back. I'll tell you that.

And maybe that's a hot take right now. I'm just not, I'm not feeling the Fouch right now. Tony's not doing it for me. I looked up the basketball thing and the first picture that came up in the article about him playing basketball is like him kind of like seductively with his glasses in his mouth. So I, I mean mean i could see it a little bit you know maybe not yeah maybe i'm not maybe it's not for me but i see the pose i see that side of him that you know he's got that tantric side i can

feel it oh he's just holding back there's just there's just heat coming off my laptop screen right now. Did you see the picture? He was the captain of the 1958 Regis High School basketball team. I'm trying to find his height, but that's all I can find. So I don't know him. Just little guy. I assumed he was a small man. Anyways, Teresa, it's been a pleasure having you on the Daily Zeitgeist.

revealing the absolute worst parts of the country and i hope it can be sobering enough that we can do something positive coming out of it.
