I think that's a Timbaland beat. Are You That Somebody, obviously. Are You That Somebody is. Ah. Boom, boom, bam, bam, boom. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. That song doesn't seem like it should be timeless, but it just has never lost any of its punch for me.

Oh, how was that? Yeah, in outer space. That sucks that she didn't let you post any of the pictures that you were sending me in our text thread with each other. Yeah, and I couldn't look her in the eye. Oh. Absolutely not. I mean, I get that.

She's famous, so that's just kind of a rule. Yeah, I know my place. Like, JLo, you can't look JLo in the eye either if you're a service provider. No, but you can look her in the ass. Thank you. I just watched out of sight. That's my proctologist. I just watched Out of Sight for the first time in a long time.

Oh, Out of Sight. Good grief. Good grief. Wait, what do you mean? I really like that movie. I really like her performance. But for some reason, when I had watched it before, I hadn't fully taken into account everything that was going on in the backyard.

That was J-Lo's- That was my friend and we were just like, go. What happened? What is happening right there? It was her. We stopped it and push it back. It was just like she walking to the door to go answer the door. We're like, what the fuck?

Because the way didn't she, I mean, she was the one that broke the door open for people to be mean, she, she was, she was the one that like broke the door open for people to be like, yeah, big butts are cool. I guess so. This is where the boob era is over. We are fully in the thick butt era. The boob era is never over, it's not. The boob era is timeless, but I'm saying-

Boob era. Boob era. Yes, we finally acknowledge the posteriors, the glutamis, minimis and maximus. Yes, and shout out to the maximus. I also is that the one where George Clooney is doing all the Zippo lighter trick? Yeah, yeah. Little snapping on the Zippo. You know, I so side note that I got a promotional out of sight Zippo lighter time and I was I've perfected the flick open with the snap ignition.

And this was I was 15. I wasn't smoking. I wasn't even smoking then. And I was, I was 15. I wasn't smoking. I wasn't even smoking then. And I was like stunting on people at school and they're like, you cannot be bringing a lighter to school. And I'm like, but did you see me flip it open like this and then snap the shit bad snap and that's why I started smoking. Flip it open till it hurts a little because it's burning your hand.

New position. All right, Zara, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things that we're talking about. How long ago did you stop paying attention? What do we need to cover for you, Zara? We got Donald Trump president again. You got that part? Yeah. Okay. I know that.

All right. Good. Pete Hagseth is the Secretary of Defense to- Who's that guy? So he- Oh, you're going to love this. Yeah. Hammered. So just, uh, hammered all the time. Uh, anyways, we're going to talk about him continuing to fight for, uh, his life,

his career, uh, we're going to talk about the White House website, like turning their COVID page into like a, a New York Times long read that is forwarding the lab leak. Oh yeah. The, the, the website of the White House is just like gone, right? Yeah. It's now it's, it's been like hijacked by bullshit basically. Yeah.

I mean, not that the White House website was ever like a bastion for truth, but it's fully like, yeah, whatever, whatever the fuck you want to know. I believe we found life on another planet. That's kind of a big deal. Whoa. So we'll cover it in our third story. Please come kill us. Yeah.

Whoa. Uh, yeah, there's a pretty good, pretty good chance. I'd say better than average chance, better than 50, 50 chance that we've discovered life on another planet. Okay, listen, I just stopped looking at my phone last night, all right? Oh, okay.

What are you talking about? You have actually missed a lot. Yeah, yeah. Life on another planet, we've done it. And then we will, of course, check in with the greatest TV interview of all time, two Australian twins from Queensland. Leech.

I love twins. Yeah. You're going to love me. This is going to push the limits on your love of twins because it's uncanny. It depends. It's divisive. Yeah, it's very uncanny. All of that, plenty more.

But first, Zahra, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are. Damn. Okay. So I'm just, I'm settling my head because, you know, I love drunks and you're giving me bad news about my favorite people. And I love drunks. I love aliens and I don't know where this is going.

You know? All right, I'm going to dive in. Okay. Search history. Is that where we're starting? Yeah. My search history is Miss Rachel eating. Very specific. Fetish.

Yeah, I was gonna say. Is that a prompt for chat GPT? Eating a foot long. When I'm in the car on my way home for lunchtime, I play Miss Rachel clips for my daughter. And she has opinions now and refuses to listen to anything she's heard already. Oh, shit. I know I'm screwed. You're fucked.

My kid is watching the fuck out of Totoro all over and over that Ghibli movie over and over and over all this all he wants to watch is Totoro. I'm like, yeah, let's let it go. Good, man. Perfect. It's unfortunate that your child has such a palette for media that they're like, I've heard this. I want nothing more to do with this. Bring the next thing now. Yeah. She says next novelty is what I crave, mother.

Yeah. Yeah. Wait, and so Miss Rachel eating is a specific. Oh, yeah. Like a holy grail being in shit. I was like, Miss Rachel, Miss Rachel, Miss Rachel guitar, Miss Rachel. Yeah, I thought it was going to be like a Gen Z like fan cam of like, this is where Miss Rachel was eating. Miss Rachel just getting buckets in a game, in a basketball game.

I love everything about her. She's an eater. Yeah, exactly. She's just eating that song. Red, orange, yellow, green. Shout out to Miss Rachel. On the right side of history. We like to see that. We do love to see that. We do love to see that.

We do love to see that, Ms. Rachel. What is something you think's underrated? Scrunchies. Scrunchies. Yeah. Like traditional? Bring them back. Bring them back.

Yeah. Traditional scrunchie, pink puff. Ooh. Yeah. I think it's sexy as fuck. Versus just the traditional hair tie. The minimum hair tie. What the hell was that about? Why did we do that?

Because we get rid of your hair out. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I wouldn't know about that. But I can see how that's possible. They rip your fucking hair out, man. Do we think it helps if we rebrand them as scrunchies? Like, oh, I like that. Yeah. Oh, give it a little generation.

Yeah. Maybe think back to little second. For a new generation? Yeah. I don't know, maybe. Think back to a simpler time when we all had scrunchies in our hair and didn't have to be force fed news. Had the little floofy pens, like from Clueless. Yeah, the little what? The little, the pen that had all the feathers at the end of it. Like from Clueless that Cher was rocking in Clueless. I love the fun pen.

Yeah. Oh yeah. Goofy pens. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. I know what you did last summer. What's something you think is overrated? Going to space. Going to space. Going, going to space. Are you just hating because your friend Katie went?

Yeah, my friend Katie went to space and I couldn't look her in the eye, but that made it so I looked at everything else. And what I felt, wait, let me just. If you're a real friend, by the way, you wouldn't be bringing up the whole not being allowed to look her in the eye thing over and over again.

Like, so selfish of you. That's how I know you're not her real friend because all her real friends have to sign NDAs. Yes. Listen, I'm already walking on eggshells. And the fact that you had your lawyer question whether the NDA holds when you guys are both in space is kind of fucked up. Yes, of course it does.

Just getting moated off the island, Katie. So why is Blue Origin oriented? I had thought that going into space would be the ultimate catharsis of that connection I'd been looking for between all living things, that being up there would be the next beautiful step to understanding the harmony of the universe. But I just got sad. This is a quote from William Shatner. No, no, I said it.

Oh, you know, that's why you think space is... So I'm just Googling your words and they're coming up as... This is, I'm just going to have to assume this is an incredible coincidence because this is actually a quote from William Shatner also. A lot of the things I say are pretty profound. I think, and what he said was, quote, it was among the strongest feelings of grief I've ever encountered.

The contrast between the vicious coldness of space and the warm nurturing of earth below filled me with overwhelming sadness. That's yeah, that's that's me. I said that. Oh, okay. I want to face and I said that. Okay. That makes sense.

Cause Bill Shatner is full of shit. No, just fucking fix earth, man. I like it here. Just fix it. Now, what if we left all the poor people behind in our spaceship? I'm saying that billionaires seem to... Get the fuck out of here. Billionaires seem to really be into branding themselves and doing big things that are going to get them a lot of attention. And like one of them should just be the like anti whatever the other billionaires are doing. You should be like shit talking that being like going to space is fucking stupid.

Let's fix this here. That's what I'm putting my money toward. Like it feels like there's a wide open lane for a billionaire, but they all have the same brain virus that like. Insists that they must have that same plastic surgery and all go to space. Right. I would like them to all get in the shuttle launch, leave, and never come back. And stay gone. Yeah.

If you guys just fuck off a little bit, that'd be cool. We can, we'll take over. That's fine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I like guys just fuck off a little bit, that'd be cool. We can take over. That's fine. Yeah. Yeah. I like that idea. I like that idea.

It's funny, though, to how this Blue Origin flight, because we're talking about like when William Shatner went, it was like, whatever that this Blue Origin flight feels like the imagine video of Blue, like imagine celebrity, imagine video of Blue Origin flights where we've shifted a little bit further along in our outrage over inequality. and like, what the fuck are you guys talking about over there? You've disconnected freaks that this one, everyone's like, what the fuck do they think they are? But it was like, nah. I think the reason it happened was because people on the right were like, you know, fuck this women in space, I don't like it at all. And so it like bubbled up to the surface and then people got to look at this

vanity space trip thing that has been going on with billionaires for a while. And be like, this is fucking stupid. Fuck these people. Right. And it's, it is the benefit benefit of the residual weirdness that Katy Perry makes people feel that it awoke in them some sort of class solidarity and outrage. Yeah, because she's just had a string of L's. Like that music video fucked, really began like the, or not, I mean, it's been happening,

but that music video, then this, people were like, no, we're off this. She's the queen, she's my friend, and I went to space with her. And canonically, yes, we forgot, we forgot. Also wild that William Shatner's wife drown in their pool in 1999. Oh my God. And he was like, this is the most tragic thing

I've ever experienced. I'm ever experienced. I'm just saying. No. He came home and she was at the bottom of their pool, August 9th, 1999. He killed her. Or I guess you could look at it as this man knows a thing or two about tragedy. And even he was like, man, it's bad.

Yeah. You take a step back. Cause like, I feel like we've come a long way from, you know, like when, when the astronauts went to space, they all had the, you know, they came back and were like, really like put things in perspective, makes you realize that we're a small kind of insignificant thing in the grand scape of the universe, scope of the universe. And by the time Shatner went up, it was just like, man, we are fucking everything up. I got up there and I was like, whoa. Oh, fuck. Bad. It's gunky air. Mm-hmm.

I mean, you could have just watched the beginning of gravity the opening of gravity is like FYI Space is like 30 below zero and trying to kill you at every turn. Yeah, you don't want to be up here Yeah, you don't want to be up there. So Anyways, alright. I I believe you space is overrated. Okay, I believe you Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and we'll talk about some news. We'll be right back. Peace to the planet. I go by the name of Charlamagne the God and guess what?

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell bent effort to sabotage a war.

J. Edgar Hoover was furious somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the god damn best love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life.

I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention. Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. podcast. And we're back. And we're back. We're coming back in mid, mid laughter. Uh, we have fun when you guys aren't around. I hate to tell, I hate to tell you guys this, but we actually sometimes have more

fun when you guys aren't around when we're in ad breaks. I'm sorry. Unfortunately, it's- That sounds like a shitty thing parents would say to their kids. Yeah. I hate to say this, mommy and daddy have way more fun when these fuckers aren't around. You know what's funny? My kids are terrified of that notion. They're like, well, what do you guys do when we're not around?

Oh, they have FOMO? Like, care FOMO? Oh, no. Yeah, yeah. They really they have FOMO? Like, care FOMO? Oh, no. Yeah, yeah. They really have care FOMO. And also, my youngest has so much, like, angst about the two years before he was born. Oh my God. Like, what did he do?

Like, what did you guys do with him? Oh, no. So, he thinks about the before times of his life? Yeah, which is wild. So for me, like, my existential fear is all about end of, end of life. But, and somebody once put it into perspective for me by being like, well, are you worried about the time before you were alive?

I'm like, no. Wow. Well, then why would you be worried about the time after you're alive? And I was like, shut up. Okay. No, I was like, that's a really good point. Shut up. My son has fear of before he was alive.

Interestingly. I just tell my kid I was fucking. What was I doing before you were? I was fucking up top. Every time. I was getting laid, girl. I was putting in the work to make you. Mama was busting it open, okay?

Don't worry about me. We're working on number two, all right? Worry about you, worry about you. Let's talk about Pete Hegseth real quick. Oh yeah, sorry. This is a will they, won't they? Monday morning, it was Pete Hegseth, he gone. Or at least the reporting was

They the search has begun the search has begun to replace him Yeah, he gone what now it is. He might not be gone. Yeah Searching I mean it really seems like they just like, you know skim the top just kind of they skim the top of Fox News To find yeah exactly Well, they skimmed the top of Fox News to find them. Yeah, exactly. Now they will just be skimming the closing hours of a TGI Fridays near the bar to find a replacement, I think, for the new Secretary of Defense. We'll see how that goes. But Caroline Levitt, the White House spokesperson,

was just like, no, Pete is fine. He's safe. This is all fake news. Everyone in the Pentagon is against him, which might be true because everything we're reading now in this last week is like we have Republican Congressman Don Bacon coming out. He's like, this guy's an amateur. Like he shouldn't be there essentially calling for his resignation. More people inside the Pentagon are telling the press that everyone hates this fucking

guy because he's a greasy piece of shit. Wait, wait. Her excuse was like, he's fine. It's just everyone in the Pentagon hates him. Penetrate Pentagon being the thing that he's supposed to be. Yes, they're like, they're like, doesn't that mean he's bad at his job? This is what they do. It's never that he's a good coach.

It's just everybody in the locker room fucking hates him. Okay. We're not firing him. He's a good coach. It's just all of the basketball players on his team hate him. But the coach isn't the one that goes out there on the field to get the result. It's the sole, it's the people underneath. It's the players.

That's why that's important. Word. No, no, no, they're against him. They've all just said that they hate him and refuse to play for him. Oh, so then what do we do? Fire all the... It's not his fault. Yeah.

I mean, that's... No, it's the vodka. Yeah. Exactly. What is the vodka? And it's clear, though, too, I think, as you know, there's been all these exits. He's fired aides for being leakers. But you can only purge so many people at the Pentagon before it stops functioning. And that's something that at least people around Trump are aware of.

It's like you can't just fire fucking everyone or else we don't have the big, nasty killing machine that is the United States military that we can threaten people with. If we don't have big, nasty killing machine, we don't have much to threaten people with anymore. So we got to really be clear that the big, nasty killing machine operates at somewhat optimal levels. So now we're at the point where Pete Hegseth, as we saw on Easter Sunday, fighting for his life, it continued Tuesday morning where Brian Kilmeade

did him a solid, his former Fox and Friends morning show, you know, Homie had him on for a segment, kicks off this whole segment about like, everyone's against me with a really a very tragic Freudian slip or maybe not tragic. Just very he's probably just saying what's to come here to set the record straight himself, the former secretary, the current secretary of state, Pete Hicks, former host right here on Fox and Friends. Pete, great to see you, Mr. Secretary. See you.

I like you then didn't even get his title right. He said former secretary of Secretary of State like at the record straight himself the former secretary the current secretary of state No, that's Marco Rubio fan and also he said former. Yeah former current I mean he doesn't wash his hands after he pisses I mean you said it you said that years ago, Pete. That's you. I thought you all just shake it off. You have to wash your hands.

It's almost like the dumbest story that somebody can be introduced to us on on this podcast then leads to them having a major role in history. To being in charge of the killing machine is Mr. Piss Hands Pete. Yeah, not great, not great. So yes, he basically is there now to really perform for camera to beg Trump because Trump watches Fox News that Pete Hegseth is like, this is just, this, this, this is just all a bunch of leaking. Now you tell me if this next sort of exchange is a good look for Pete Hegseth.

Some people are saying he's flailing and he's doing that thing again with like a lot of big facial gestures like he's Jim from the office looking down with the camera lens. He's gone barrel down the barrel. I mean this one it makes sense because this is a TV hit. This one he's got, he's giving us facial. He is eating in this performance. Okay. In reality. So Mr. He is eating in this performance. Okay. In reality.

So, Mr. Secretary, I guess I can conclude this. We know some bizarre situation with Michael Waltz happened with the first time the whole thing with the Signal app came out. You believe this came out, they said it was called Team Huddle because one of the people who worked for you, one of the three who no longer are there, leaked this out as a way to get back at you. Okay. I just want to point out that I like that he leads him to what this next

thing is going to be. This. Oh yeah, that's a great idea. Yeah, that's, that's what happened. That you're not some like drunk fuck up who's way out of his league here as secretary of defense, it's that someone is telling on you, right? That's the problem you're getting told on. Tattletales, correct?

It's just tattletales. Yeah. It's just that person who you had to fire as a bitch. Is that what the problem is? And let's let Pete Hegseth yes and this to the maybe save his career. We'll see. That's right, Brian. When you dismiss people who you believe are leaking classified information.

And again, the investigation is ongoing and that will take time and if when the evidence produced it will go to DOJ why would it surprise anybody Brian if those very same people keep leaking to the very same reporters whatever information they think they can have to try to sabotage the agenda of the president or the secretary. So once a leaker always a le leaker, often a leaker. And so we look for leakers because we take it very seriously. And we will do the investigation. And if those people are exonerated, fantastic.

You know what? I'm using that clip to potty train. Once a leaker, always a leaker. Often a leaker. Wow. And his whole point is like, yeah, I did the thing, but they told on me. Yeah. Okay. I, that is a level of lying. I did when I was like eight. Sure. Yeah, exactly.

We've all improved since then. Come on Pete. You realize that it's intellectually does you no good to be like, so like you're caught and you're like, it's because this person told him, it's like, no, no, no, you have to actually attack this, like your, the, the event that you're responsible for. How do you account for that? And if it's always, this is the same thing that Trump does all the time. It's never explaining your actions or like justifying. It's about complaining that you got caught. It's like, Oh, let me see your DMS. You're talking to other women. How come you got my phone?

It's like, no, no, no, no, no. Why are you talking to other women in your DMS? No. How did you get my phone? That's a violation of my privacy. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And now how am I supposed to trust you now? It's so worth watching that clip just to see his eyes. Yeah, his eyes when he's like so Yeah, it is truly it really went full

Corn cob corn cob TV pretty soon. Yeah, it really felt like the guy from corn cob TV They told me that Like you're here these are the receipts Shit, I didn't see shit. We were so close to him saying that. Like you're here, these are the receipts, sir. Oh, god. He should have been shaving his eyelashes that whole time. Yeah, his eyelashes are a little too long and luxurious. They want him out. He's a glamour queen.

I do just wanna, it also, there are rumblings that Elon Musk on his way out also. He's claiming he's not, but people, the Washington Post is reporting that he has grown weary of attacks from the left and that his hand might be forced because of Tesla's plummeting stock price, which I would love for him to leave. Yeah. I don't think that's going to save it, my man.

I don't think it will. I wrote a song about this. Yeah. Yeah. It goes, Elon Musk, when will you leave? Go to space forever or down to hell or in a volcano. Down to hell or maybe go to Mars and do that scene from Total Recall

where their helmets break and they're like. Ah, ah, ah. Can God do a take you out? Ah, ah, ah, ah. Maybe King Kong crushes you. Anything, anything, literally anything, literally anything, please just leave. This is, I mean, it does,

your point, Jack, about the stock price makes sense because this story's coming out the day, or like this headline came out the day before the Tesla earnings call. So as of right now, we don't know because that's the next big performance from Elon Musk that a lot of people are looking for. It's like, what are you going to say, man? The stock's down like 40% and it's all because of you and your Nazi stuff. Like when he leaves the White House, we're not going to magically forget that

he did the Nazi salute. That's what, that's where I do think the whole like point that the media has been ignoring the Nazi salute to, okay, go ahead. I have to, I have to drop the white man to say do it Why are we all even talking? He took everybody's Social Security He has an also down all the information. Yeah Yeah What should have happened is we eliminated everybody's Social Security we

Reissued them, recertified them and got that clown out of town. Yeah, I don't know. I will not get over it. And we just keep tacking on. I can't. The sentence is a run on. It's going to. I mean, at this point, like all everything that had to be done, I guess, in terms of like the project 2025 of it all. Elon's done a good job from their perspective with Doge.

Killing it, man. Yeah, yeah. So, I mean, I- Let me just check in on Jack, though. Are you okay that I interrupted you like that and I called you a white- It's gonna take a lot of work. It's gonna take a lot of work. How can he trust you anymore? Yeah. How am I supposed to trust you? I mean, your eyelashes aren't shaved.

After you went through my phone. I just know you're soft and squishy. Yeah. I am I supposed to trust you? Well, I mean, your eyelashes aren't shamed. After you went through my phone. I just know you're soft and squishy. Yeah. I am very soft and squishy. Look at those long-ass eyelashes. I knew you were soft, boy. I do think the thing that's probably going to keep hurting the Tesla stock price is the Nazi salute.

I think that one's going to have, I think that one's going to die hard in the old cultural memory. When you're trying to, when you're part of selling a product that relies on people thinking your brand is cool, I think it's kind of a bummer for people to see you out on Maine doing a massive, emphatic Nazi salute. Yeah. Yeah. Especially to kick off the administration.

That day it's like all eyes on you motherfucker. And you're like, okay, here's my chance. Listen, my Zara predictions are like really slaying right now. Yeah. Okay. Zara Stradamus. I've said that I am not Stradamus. Zara Stradamus. Zara Stradamus. I am Nostradamus. Zara Stradamus. Zara Stradamus.

Zara Stradamus. Zara Stradamus. That really filled my ego in a way that I wasn't prepared for. No, this is what I do. I give nicknames. You're really good at, wow. God, you and there's one other public figure

who gives a lot of nicknames. I can't remember who it is. No one cares. I mean, it's true though. Donald Trump was always biting my fucking style, dude Okay Nazis are the act one villain everyone kills and is fine with it Right. Yeah. Yeah, there is no one else. You can just like kill in TV and film

Yeah, everyone just like gets over in family nonhumans Yeah, these are's the Kyle. Yeah. You give them a hat. You, you, whatever they do a salute. You see something that even looks like Nazi ish. Yeah. Kill them.

And everyone moves on. This country is being set up for a war. I'm saying because the whole rest of the world of the last world war was for Nazis. Yeah. Hmm. Yeah. Well, we'll see. We're set not to be the bad guy.

Yes. I mean, we've been. Yeah, we've been the bad guy, but now it's like, but now it's conforming to like the media informed version of good and evil. We're like, well, they're the Nazis now. So I think that's also like the hard part with it in America, too, because especially in America, like for the last 60 years of media, it's been like, kill the fucking Nazis. And that's why you have some people who are like, yeah, man, it's kind of different.

Other people are still like, I don't know. I mean, all the video games and movies I saw are kind of like tarnish that brand. But hey, we shall see. We shall see. We shall see. I don't have to. Literally, I worked at Blockbuster. So many movies. Seen it.

Yeah, seen them all. Seen them all. Seen them all. They die. They die. No one cares. No one care. We all just we rally around kill the fucking Nazis. I mean, like, it's just interesting to me how we can be over here being like, oh, this sucks. And I can't wait for this to change. And I'll just keep my head down. And, you know, hope it gets better at some point and somebody gets in there. But like, meanwhile, the whole world is watching because we have like the world's largest nuclear arsenal and they're just not going to let us keep it.

If we're run by Nazis, you know what I mean? They have a stock in that too. If we don't, like if we're not like, hey, that's a problem, the rest of the world isn't cool with it. Yeah, we're definitely in that process of the rest of the world being like, oh man, cool with it. Yeah, we're definitely in that process of the rest of the world being like, oh man, what the... Uh-huh. They've got a guy who's lost his mind. And right now we're just at tariffs.

And, you know, and just, I mean, not even just that and disappearing people and trafficking them to El Salvador into gulags and shit. Yeah, the evidence is mounting for sure. We made Canada take out the cavalry. Okay, you made your nice Canadian friend mad. Yeah, yeah. And we united them for a moment right now. They're like, yeah, America's gotta go.

It does feel like, I don't know, America's got to go. Right. It does feel like, I don't know, it's been a while since it, it felt like they faced consequences, I think because of how incompetent the main like national democratic party is. Like it just, it feels like the rules of politics no longer apply to them. And so they're just doing that. So they won that election where it seemed like they might've just left the rules of normal politics behind. And rather than like being like, okay, maybe we test the border, the boundaries of this new power immediately went full went cig hailing on the main

stage, like even the, did you see the MTG like tweet on the morning the pope died? Yeah. Like normally you wouldn't want to alienate all Catholics in America. She tweeted in response to the pope dying today, there were major shifts in global leaderships. Evil is being defeated by the hand of God, like straight up. Straight up. Yes. Yeah. The great schism. Yeah all over again Just easily not said that but that's why I look I can't wait for there to be the black pole You about to have a fucking oh my god some kind of event cardiac event, baby. Yeah

Yeah, meanwhile, they're having like the apprentice reality TV of like firing cabinet members Mm-hmm. Oh Bye, you know, it'd be the ultimate reality TV show though. Hmm the Bible Conclaves yeah Fuck that one up. Wait. Oh, conclave. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. I fucked that one up. Wait, what's conclave? Have you seen the movie Conclave?

No. It was nominated for an Academy Award this past year. Wraith finds. Wraith is in it. I love him. Oh, you're going to like it. It is a blast. It's a movie that's like super watchable and fun.

That's about like the most boring seeming topic, but it's like about the choosing, like how they choose a pope. And it's, they like all get, they like close the fortress around the building and nobody's allowed to come in or leave until they've decided who the next pope is. And the only way that like information comes out is through like smoke signals.

It's very strange. But anyways, uh, it's a, it's a rollicking good time at the movies. I highly recommend it. But if they could get it, if they could get cameras in there, just go full reality TV, get the producers of the amazing race. But it's like, no, it's like, yeah, it's the new making the band. But yeah, exactly. Few plopes auditioning.

They're like, I really liked him, but his dancing was not great. And his Latin is terrible. Big brother, Vatican super producer, Victor suggested. I like it. I think the real world Vatican. How did I miss it? Oh yeah. I was just pumping breast milk for the rest of my life.

This week, it's the very funny Amy Poehler. Don't overthink it. They talk water. We did not drink water growing up. Water was not a thing. Parenting. You got teen boys. This is like the black diamond of parenting.

And of course. I don't think so, honey. Horror movies. Okay. Okay. Amy Poehler is on Las Culture. The latest episode is out now. Listen to Las Culturistas on the iHeart Radio app or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Sonoro and iHeart's My Cultura podcast network present The Set Up, a new romantic comedy podcast starring Harvey Guillen and Christian Navarro. The Set Up follows a lonely museum curator searching for love. But when the perfect man walks into his life. Well, I guess I'm saying I like you. You like me?

He actually is too good to be true. This is a con. I'm conning you to get the Delano painting. We could do this together. To pull off this heist, they'll have to get close and jump into the deep end together. That's a huge leap, Fernando, don't you think? After you, Chulito.

But love is the biggest risk they'll ever take. Fernando's never going to love you as much as he loves this doll. Chulito, that painting is ours. Listen to The Set Up as part of the MyCultura podcast network available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows

with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell-bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover was furious. Somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the god damn best love story you've ever heard.

I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life. I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention. Listen to Divine Intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And just a minor news story, we might have found life on another planet.

Yep. What? But these Australian twins, man. Last summer. Oh, that's true. OK, and the asteroid is still coming. No. The asteroid?

No, the asteroid's going to pass us. What? Yeah. Oh, that really ruined my day, folks. You thought we were going to get the hard reset that we've all been proving? Yeah, I just really wanted to see it. Yeah, it's still... It just went down and down.

And once it started going down, everyone just fucking stopped talking about it. Man. It's we're now down to one tenth hundred thousandth, one thousandth of a percent. So you're saying there's a chance. I am. It's better than what she said in Dumb and Dumber to inspire that line from Jim Carrey when I think she said one in a million. So one in a thousand.

One in a thousand is pretty good. Not bad. Not bad. I know it's selfish, but I just want to see the end of the world before I die. Or 10,000, I don't know how these properties work. Yeah. That is so, that's actually the most selfish thing

you could possibly hope for. I just, it's, the most selfish thing you could possibly hope for. I just it's call me selfish, but I don't want anyone to be alive after I'm dead. Yeah, I just want to see it. And also fuck all the people that were alive before I was born. Yeah, honestly, let's wipe that out. Where do you get the fuck? Where do you get off being alive before I was fucking alive? Yeah. Oh, you know what, though?

There is a chance that it could hit the fucking moon. Yeah, that would be fucking dope. All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like it's one, I think one, oh, 3.8% chance. That it's going to hit the moon? Yeah. Damn, that's a good chance. Like that it's going to hit the moon. Yeah. Damn.

That's a, that's a good chance. Like that, the TV event of the millennium. Those are my IDF chances right there. That's right. Boom. That's a fact. Give it a couple more tries. High def cameras on the moon.

Yeah. And then just like we're watching as the thing comes and just smashes the moon. Just like when it was like a 1.7 chance of the asteroid hitting earth, that really meant a 98.3 percent chance that it was not. It is going to? Yeah. Damn it. But we love a probability out here.

We love it. We love a probability, don't we, folks? If it hits the moon, it would not alter the moon's orbit, so it would be just a sick-ass light show, baby. Damn, that would be so dope. All right. Real quick. So 404 media who generally, they're a tech website, really enjoy their work.

They generally subscribe to the, it's never aliens. If it looks like aliens and it's like, we've really exhausted all the explanations. They're like, yeah, it's still not aliens. Nevertheless, this reporter seems intrigued by the latest finding of the James Webb telescope, which we've talked about the James Webb telescope. It sent back a lot of pretty pictures, but it is the strongest like observatory or, you know, it's the strongest camera that we have for observing space ever in the history of the planet.

So there's of the planet. So there's this one planet. So people keep using the phrase or the term exoplanet, the word exoplanet. All that means is a planet outside of our solar system. I think we can just call them planets because exoplanet makes it sound, I don't know. Yeah. I was always confused by that. Yeah. It's just.

This feels like such a podcaster thing, where there's clearly a reason for this kind of scientific nomenclature. Nah, fuck it. Nah, dude, it's a planet. No, this is how we end up with January 6th, because we don't know anything. We reconfigure words. It's a fucking planet, man. What does it fucking matter? That's a planet. XOO squad who gives a fuck anyways There's a planet called KT 18 B That has gotten a lot of attention because it's got a combination of water vapor carbon dioxide and methane detected in its skies and

you know, there's clouds and People are like there might be like an ocean down there. Feels like an ocean and water vapor is very, that's a big deal. Yeah, that's a big, big deal. So they focused James Webb on that planet eight times as large as earth. And they, what, what they got back is promising. What they got back is promising. So what they saw is a bunch of cities and high rises poking through the clouds with LED Pepsi ads on screens.

Yes! They have Pepsi there. No, that's my fan fiction. They just, they got back something indicating the presence of DMDS, dimethyl disulfide. Dimethyl disulfide, obviously. I take that for ADHD. Yes.

They also, and this is one that you're not going to want to take, but you can huff it if you want to. Dimethyl sulfide, DMS, which are generally produced, like when you see those, it's generally going to be organic origins. There aren't many other theoretical ways for those chemicals to appear in a planet's atmosphere other than life. There are possibility, so they were like, we have found the traces of those on comets in our own solar system. So maybe like some comets just crash landed like very recently, like just, and in that case, it would be like incredibly a huge coincidence that we were like, let's see if there,

if these chemicals are there. And they were because a comet just happened to have crash landed there like recently. But they say it's a possibility. So it's not a hundred percent. Crashing comets are promising too. Yeah, I mean, comets are cool. But yeah, we don't know.

They wouldn't give me a percentage. They wouldn't be like, yeah, I'd say 70, 30. There's life up there, but it does seem like there's a pretty good chance. Like it would be a huge coincidence if there was not life on that. How far, do we know how far it is? Like can we go there? Yeah. Can, what are the chances we can get on a spaceship?

No, no, they can leave and then we can, I mean, what are housing prices like over there if it's eight times larger and it's cheaper? I mean, yeah, that's free. That's a lot of free real estate right there. Yeah, that's what I'm, that's free real estate. What are they offering on a APR for that? Actually looks dude 0.3%. Oh my God.

They're giving it a holy shit. Okay. No, dude, 0.3%. Oh my God, they're giving it away. Holy shit. Okay. I love you K218B. It is light years away. So it's not perfect. You know what? That's what they said about Tracy.

And now, look at it. Yeah, yeah. California suburb. Are you saying Tracy, California? That's what they said. I just drove through there on my way up to the Bay Area. People live in Tracy to commute to San Jose. No, I can tell.

It's so built out. I can podcast with you from a planet, exoplanet. Yeah, exactly. Shout out Tracy. Right. Shout out people named Tracy. Anyways, we're still waiting to hear back on real estate prices, but it does look promising. Shout out to people named Tracy. Anyways, we're still waiting to hear back on real estate prices, but it does look promising.

Shout out to 404, shout out to James Webb, who I'm just going to assume is some guy who built that telescope all by himself. Jimmy Webcorn and I don't care. Finally, we do have to talk about the greatest television interview of all time. Yeah. Yeah, please. It's blowing up. Multiple zeitgang have tagged me on this clip.

I think knowing because we like a bit of a funny clip. It already hit me because I'm out here terminally online like the rest of you. Right now, the internet is currently in love with a pair of 51-year-old identical Australian twins from Queensland. They went viral earlier this week when they were interviewed by the local news, when their mother witnessed a carjacking gone terribly wrong, uh, and was like involved in like a response to it. I'm just going to play this clip.

It's just, it just so you know, this is them throwing to a comment from two identical twins who have. Yeah. Shout out to the news anchor who just throws to it without mentioning, without any sort of a preview of what we're about to see. Yeah. As if it's just some regular shit rather than maybe the greatest shit we've ever seen from a regular news broadcast.

Here we go. Witnesses are recounting some of the drama that unfolded on the Sunshine Coast this afternoon. Two sisters have told how their mother and man raced to help when the carjacked SUV rolled on Steve Irwin way only to find the gun-wielding car thief emerging from the wreck. Here's some of what they had to say. And one guy, he was up there with our mum and he went up there and he was coming back down And he goes run And oh our heart started a pound and I said well mum where's mum and

Poor mum was stuck up there, but apparently our brave mum She goes are you alright because he had all blood all over his face. And he goes, I'll shoot you. She goes, hey, I'm here to help. And mum distracted him to make him look the other way. And he looked the other way and mum ran into the bush behind the fence. And the guy goes to her, I'll find you and I'll shoot you.

All I was thinking about when we were running, I hope he doesn't fire. No, they weren't even on there. They didn't even go. How close to him do you think you were? Well, see he was up there and we were past our drive way. Yeah, yeah. You don't think of all of that at the time. No.

No, you don't. No, you don't. No, you don't really think about all this, to be honest. Yeah, that was, so I'm sure people, if you didn't, you have to see this clip because these identical twins are talking at the same time. My question is, it felt like the one on the left is the one really running the show. Right. Right, I think you're right. Yeah. And the other one is the hype twin. Right.

Hitting the last words in the sense. Spaghetti. Yeah, exactly. Rabioli. You know what I mean, Justin? Like the Rayquan to go space kind of thing. Right. But then they just, like it's almost, once they slip out of it at the end and start just like talking independently of one another, it's also just like, it's like they hadn't even noticed they were doing that before. You know what I mean? Like they're just like- I just wanna hang out with them.

Yeah, part of me is like, wow, the world is such a strange and mysterious place where like people can have a mind meld to that degree. Right. And the other part of me is like, that seems so fucking annoying. The one person and have that person just like saying the thing that you're about to say, and I was just like, Oh my God, stop. Yeah.

Sorry, Mason. What was your order? No, no, no, no, no. You are. She's, uh, I mean, was your order? No, no, no, no. Oh, sheesh. I mean, this is so they were asked again, like by the news, they said, how are they able to speak together at the same time? The sisters said in unison, it comes automatically. We don't know how it happens.

Some people say, do you rehearse a conversation? And we said, no. How can you rehearse a conversation? They also they so they're kind of famous in the area because they run this place called Twinnies Pelican, Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue. And like for the past quarter century, they've been like rehabbing, like injured seabirds and stuff. And like, that's like their whole thing is like,

they just take care of like hurt birds and speak in unison. Oh my God. But it's funny too, because in the beginning of this article where they talk to these two women, the twins, they said how they were like the inner, the reporter was on the phone with one of the twins, but could audibly hear the other one talk, answering also in the background,

like as if she was on the phone too. So loud. Oh man, twinning. Oh my God. I just want to be friends with them. I just want to be friends with them. I just want to hang out with them all the time because that's how me and Katie are. You and Katie Perry, that's right. We're just always finishing each other sentences.

Yeah, we have such a mind melt. Mind melt. Mind melt. Tuna melt. Wow, geez. Miles and I have been talking on this show for hours a day for seven years. Oh, no. And we do that like once every, I don't know, two weeks.

And we're like, whoa, that was crazy. That was crazy. And so this is an example of why I'm going to go wander in the traffic muttering under my breath. Does their mom just always feel like they're in a horror film? That whole dynamic must be funny though too, like their mom and like, what was that conversation like where their mom's like, girls, I just saw a carjacking and the man put a gun in my face and was like, I'm going to shoot you with my gun.

And then I got him to look the other way. I distracted him. I said, there goes the ghost of Steve Irwin. And he said, where? And then I ran into the bush girls and they, and he, this fucker didn't find me, the cunt. Oh man. What a crew.

What a, those two. They need a reality show. I will watch them all day. The idea that they even said the mom distracted the gunman really quick is so funny. Look over there! Yeah, there is

some Bugs Bunny logic at play in the story. Look over there and then hit it in bushes. Yeah. If that was like a heist film or something. Right. You had those characters, everyone would be like, come on.

Yeah. This is a bit much Steven Soderbergh. Then she jumped into some bushes and then the bushes did a bunch of shaking for a while and then she came out and she was dressed as the gunman's brother. He said, we better run, James. All right. Zara, what a pleasure having you on the show. It is such a pleasure to be here. Oh, such a pleasure. The pleasure is all ours.

I think it's Netflix. And there's a hula, I think. Is it? I don't remember. I'm still watching X-Files. Oh, hell yeah. If anyone wants to create a Discord where we all just talk about 90s X-Files, I would be in it.

Yeah, I mean, we could probably just create a channel in the discord server if you just want to talk the truth. Oh, and here it's out there. Yeah, it is. Dying for sex is amazing. Written by Keith Zahler. It's phenomenal. Holy shit.

Okay. Yeah. I'll add that to the list. The inexhaustible list of things I have to see. Phenomenal. Holy shit. OK, yeah. All of that. This is the inexhaustible list of things I have to see.

I like, uh, at indie refugee dot B sky dot social, uh, posted journalists need to start finding and interviewing the parents of our elected officials to find out what the fuck went wrong.

That would be a great genre. Wait, so like, what the fuck? I mean, I read a profile on Nancy Mace and she's starting to make more sense because she, I think was the first female cadet at the Citadel where her dad was like this huge figure there. And she's just like the search for parental approval, like still is like this black hole of emotional need that cannot be filled. And I'm like, OK, this is OK.

Nancy Mace is starting to make a little bit more sense to me. And now just let me now like, just give me a little bit more. I needed a little bit more about Marjorie Taylor green. I mean, I can, I can assume a lot, but I would like to just have something properly reported out. That would be nice. I mean, there there is a lot of media attention on Elon Musk's parents. So partially, I think that is happening with him in particular. But part of it is people being like, how'd you raise a rich person?

That is like a genre of, well, do you do it? Yes. First own an emerald mine. Yeah. It's also funny. Like, yeah, what happened? Elon, I heard your dad like is now with his stepdaughter. All right.

Okay. Cool. Very normal stuff it couldn't be that could be that Share my piece of media or did I not ask you for a piece of media? No, Jack Wait, I didn't dying for oh, sorry. Go on my contract. Oh, yeah. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry I'm so sorry Sorry, is there a work of media that you've been enjoying besides dying for sex? Immensely. Okay. So kids are now using AI to imitate their parents' voices and cut class.

Oh no. This is an escalation on the talk boy from Home Alone 2. Exactly. This was like the plot of a number of, I mean, it was Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Yeah. Yeah. Rudy! I'm going to send it to Miles.

The fact that it's taken this long suggests a lack of a Ferris Bueller, Zach from Saved by the Bell charisma in this generation. Okay. Listen, I like full disclosure. I told my mom, we're having a generational alphabet discovery day, and I need your alphabet in print and in cursive. And I just forged her signature for to cut glass forever. Also, that's how you, that's how you got the source material is to forge the thing. Yep.

Wow. That's very interesting. I just, thank God my dad's signature is in print and in cursive. And I just, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm Wow. Glass forever. Oh, so that's how you got the source material to forge the thing? Yep. Wow. That's very interesting.

Thank god my dad's signature is so simple. It was way easier to do than my mom's. The way I was fucking signing off on report card shit, baby. My parents thought I dropped out. OK, here is this clip from AI impersonating her parents. I was with a friend last night night and she said that her friend's daughter who's 13 years old fed her mom's voice to an AI generator and she would make messages that she could call herself out of school.

Like hey it's Mrs. So and So, Hallie can't come into school today because she's not feeling well. And then she would just go hang out with her friends and all of her friends were doing this. And so she was out for three days straight and then her mom got a call from the school being like, hey, is your daughter okay? She like, you know, you've been calling her out of class. Like we just want to make sure she's okay.

Her daughter then used her mom's voice on her own dad so that she could have a sleepover. Like this is just the beginning. Feeding your parents voice to AI to then use their voice to get you out of things like it's cooked. Why do they have to go to school? Why do they have to really do anything, have any chores responsibility? Like it's this is wild. This is so wild. I can't even imagine being a parent right now.

Yeah. Parents, this is wild. This is so wild. I can't even imagine being a parent right now. Yeah. Millennial parents, here we go. Nah, yeah, nah, we were too slick for that shit. They're like, bro, I was fucking around with like ancient tools. You think I'm, you got it easy. I'm gonna, I'll catch your ass. Oh yeah, my kid's gonna have a GPS on her neck.

No way. That's, but that's the one that the state enforces on all of us though. That's I think a different, yeah,ces on all of this though. Yeah. It'll be a different thing. Yeah. It's like one of those guns that's like... Oh yeah, that they require we all keep in our vagina that they track regularly.

Yes. That's right. Yes. Where's that GPS tracker? She's ovulating. In your butthole. Yeah. She's ovulating.

Hey miles Is there a song that you think people might enjoy?

Yeah, this is an artist called doctor who dat and that's a real thing. That's what they're called. Dr. Hudat. H-O-W-H-O-D-A-T. And they're like, you know, they make beats. But kind of, if you like MF Doom, that sort of sample style and like beat making, you'll definitely like this instrumental track called Bahia Blues. B-A-H-I-A. And it's got a little Brazilian flavor, but just like in a little more laid back, you know, sort of vibe. Again, a lot of music to soothe right now. And this is a track that does that. So Bahia Blues by Dr. Who Dat. All right, we will link off to that in the footnotes. The Daily Zeitgeist is a production of iHeartRadio for more podcasts from iHeartRadio.
