Oh, they gave you the little... Yeah, the little thing started playing. For gating, so I didn't hear it. So it's not officially National Spamoni Day until I do that music. Well, you know what? The kids will hear it on the actual episode when it comes out. Usually they don't because the theme song is playing during that time. Okay.

Well, then, thank you producer, Justin, for Cleveland. clarifying that that was merely a nice a nicety for myself okay everyone's like what are they're fucking hallucinating he's hearing fucking that music again spamoni is ice cream with the three different flavors that was neapolitan it's but it's not neapolitan it doesn't look like because it's got green in there is that I don't know what you want me to say I don't know Did you know what Spamoni was when you told us that it was a day to celebrate it? I knew it was an ice cream. There's a Spumoni restaurant in the valley that my parents never went to because it was too expensive when I was a kid.

So I just knew it as the expensive Italian restaurant that we didn't go to. It's definitely Italian and I knew that based on the name. It's molded, according to Google, molded gelato made with layers of different colors and flavors containing candied fruits and nuts. My favorite. No, that's, I don't want the inside. of a senior citizen's pocket. Where there's originals, rapping still on.

Yeah, exactly. And like a I like Ike pin. Napkin with lipstick. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Anyways, my name is Jack O'Brien, aka, I want to scare you. I'll say mass shooting.

Never heard of that. But thanks, Benny. I mean, so, yeah. You've maligned our. I think what do you think about that? You've maligned. As always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray.

Miles Gray came. My infant almost died. Drugs were burning, guns were turning, and my kid almost fried. Them fake news boys all said it's safe, but they lied. Can't even buckle up in my ride. Carjackers going to throw me outside. Shout out to Nick Knack on the Discord for that American Pie. Look, evoking the sacred words of Benny Johnson as he lies about how bad DC is a

straight ticket to the A.K.A.'s. One more time. My infant nearly died in a drug fire after mass shootings. Oh, God. Fuck. Fuck. I feel like that A.K.A. was so good that, like,

Benny Johnson could actually use it. That shit was good. Yeah. Maybe. Maybe. Miles. We are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a hilarious comedian, actor, writer, Product of Dayton, Ohio. Shout out Dayton, who you know from her many very funny, albums, specials, appearances, appeared on Netflix's The Stand-Ups, making her

triumphant return to this show on the fifth anniversary of her last appearance on this show, August 21st, 2020. Oh, shit, is it five years to the day? Five years to the day. So all those Spamoni Day can get fucked. It's National Beth Stelling on the Daily Zikeist Day. Please welcome back to the show. Beth Stele!

Thank you so much for having me back. I wanted to just not see you guys for about five years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just so actually when you say, have you been, there's enough to kind of fill that up. So for me, I got married,

had a kid in my house burned down. Okay. There you go. So that song was real. I got this jacket. Yeah, it wasn't drug fire, though.

It wasn't a drug fire after a mass shooting. And my toddler nearly died. All drug fires are technically in a logical sense after mass shootings in America. Yeah, because there are so many mass shootings. I'm sure there was a little marijuana that got burnt up. That's probably true. That's how are you doing? How have you been?

You know, five years, nothing's happened really. Same with me. Yeah, nothing's happened in five years. We're the depths of COVID and you're still social distancing. Yeah. I've been alone in this room for about five years. Are you cutting your own hair? It looks great.

Everything's good. I'm touring a bunch. A lot of comedy clubs. Bethstelling.com. I might be coming to a town near you. My last special is on Netflix called If You Didn't Want Me Then. It's been up for about almost two years in October. So it'll be, I think, coming off of there.

It was a two-year license. So who knows where I'll put it. But my latest one I just put it, out a little half hour called The Landlord special. It's on YouTube. I'm in a full red sweatsuit. You can't miss me. Oh, yeah. Is it foot, is it, what are we talking? Hooded, crue neck sweatshirt. Hoodie, Milwaukee Tool. Oh, yeah. And it's comedy by landlords for landlords. Is that right? Do I have that correct? It's comedy by tenants against landlords. Oh, no. Yeah. You're screwed. You can't actually not even allowed to listen.

Oh, no. As a one of the biggest, um, landlords. Yeah, slumworts. People don't know that about Jack, yeah. Yeah, big time slum lord. Terrible. That's why I'm in New York. I'm checking on my slums, doing a slum tour, making sure they still suck. How's everybody doing? Terrible?

All right. Things are bad, yeah? Great. I am not going to be able to fix anything while I'm here. Oh, I don't know. Appropriately. I think that gas smells good. Yeah.

Or you can complain. Yeah. I love the smell of gas. Since I was a kid, I mean, I was at, window out at the pump. Yeah, me too. Head out the window, I mean. Really?

You like that just that smell of ethanol or whatever the thing? I loved it as a kid. Yeah. You know, my palate has changed into adulthood. I love, I love, like, natural gas. Like, you know, what comes out of our stoves. Yeah. Oh, you do like that?

I love it. I was going to say. To Beth's point, love smelling my own farts. So I think I found, I think I've actually, you've nailed it, Beth. My farts smelling. gasoline because I'm a clanker, which is a derivative derogatory term for a robot. Beth, I also love the smell of gasoline. I also was raised in Dayton, Ohio, or a suburb of Dayton, Ohio. Can't believe it. So I guess we're Centerville. Yeah. I'm Oakwood. My mom taught

Kettering. Kettering. Played them in basketball, in fifth grade basketball. She was there for 34 years. And where is it? I wrote on Strange Planet, another Daytona. He was Alter, though, the cartoon, Strange Planet. Oh, really? Dayton Kid. There we go. I'm pointing to it because he drew all the writer's room as the little blue beings. Nice.

Yeah, Dayton also, the home of funk music. The home of funk. Yeah. Funk. The home of the Dayton Mall, many point out. Was the Dayton Mall dead by the time you were growing up? That was the only thing. It wasn't dead yet.

When I was little, it was pretty, it was kind of like a big deal. ago, a big album. Yeah, that was what there was. What was like the main attraction there? Like, well, you know, for me, it was that the cookie cakes. Cookie cakes, they had, you know. Oh, yeah. I remember that.

Mrs. Fields, but I don't think it was Mrs. Fields at the time. I think it had a different name. It was big, like, pizza-sized chocolate chip cookies. Yeah. Okay. And you would cut it into it, yeah. And then Skyline Chili. They have that up at the food court.

You're always going to have a Sabaro. A Sabaro. There was a chess king right near the entrance, and then a merry-go-round a little bit further in, like the store, the closing store, Mary-Go-R-R-R-Rown. This is going to be actual shit people talk about when the apocalypse happens. Like, describe a mall. You'd walk in. Exactly. I feel like we're there.

Nobody really goes to the mall for me more. There would be a penny. You'd put a penny in and you could ride the tiniest, the tiniest, what's it called? Mary-go-round. Oh, it was for a penny? There was a penny That spun around slowly It was an office chair

I feel like outside of Kroger was a penny You could get on that little That could be That seems entirely possible It was a single horse It was really just like Simpler times Well Beth

We're thrilled to have you here We're going to get to know you A little bit better in a moment First we're going to talk about Some of the news stories That we're talking about Gavin Newsom is a fucking edge lord Doug

He is He's tweeting He's shit posting his way up the charts of Democratic politicians. So we're going to talk about that, how he is conquered Twitter. We're going to talk about Trump's latest obsession with the Smithsonian and how it's just like one person who works for him is like obsessed with this. That's how it works. That's how it happens. You just have to get senile grandpa.

You have to aim him in a direction and be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that, that, that, that, do that. Mm-hmm. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about cassette tapes. We'll talk about Chris Platt, Chris Pratt, Chris Pratt. Oh, Chris Platt, and Chris Pratt. Yeah. All of them. Plenty more. But first, Beth, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? I have four options. Because I really looked at my last Google search. The closest one was, when should I arrive at L.A.X if my flight's at 6 a.m. I keep wanting. it to say 8 a.m. Won't say that. I've been touring for what, at least 15 years. I know when to leave.

It's like I'm just upset. Is it truly magical thinking? Like, you're asking me like, oh, maybe this fucking time it'll say 9.30. Maybe there's been a change. And they don't want us there two hours before. I've really, I'm normally a very type A person. I've been cutting it a little close lately, I will say.

Yeah, yeah. Because, dang, it stinks to get. up that early. I really, I think I'm going to have to get picked up at four in the morning. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. For domestic fight? Are you like right next to the airport or what do we talk about? Yeah, I was going to say four to get there by 4.30? 445. Yeah. Well, if you're not checking bags. I am checking the check. I have pre-checked, but I am top American. So I think I can go right to the priority line. Yeah, yeah, there you go. All right. Showing up to the airport late is like

a young person's game. Like, I used to show up late and be like, ah, I missed my flight, shit. And now I'm, I can't sleep normally the day before a flight, no matter when the flight is. Because I'm like, but guys, I'm not,

I can't possibly set the lift setting to 3.40 in the morning. Yeah, no, fuck that. That can't be right. It has to be 405. I'm getting picked up at 4.05. Yeah, that's, no, you're not a vampire.

You know what I mean? That's right. Like a three. I mean, like, I'm going to get somebody's hammered. You get the threes. He might as well be like, I didn't sleep at all. Yeah.

It can't be three. You might as well be Mark Wahlberg. Unless somebody was like, I don't know. I don't think anybody convinced me that I need to get picked up at three. I would never try to. And anybody who does is not your friend, Beth. What are our four other options? Okay.

The other option was what area of code is 3-2-6 because somebody called me from that yesterday. And at first I thought it was a prank. But I think it's just a scam likely. But it's a date number. Oh, sure. Okay. I still think it's scam. Oh, but the original is 937.

Right. So then it's like what 424 is in L.A. Where they're like, damn, we need another area. I was 513. Yeah, I was 513 for a moment in college because I went to Miami. But I'm 937. Okay, so then. Just this is a question that I had recently that I'm curious to get both of your takes on.

Have you ever answered a or had a spam likely called not be spam? Because I normally don't pick it up. When it says spam, like, yeah, I never pick it up. But like, I've, I have the, this fear when I have a spam likely, they're so noncommittal. I'm like, if I'm like expecting a call from someone, I don't know what their area code is. I know. That's what I, that's why I picked it up. Yeah.

And who is it? You know it's a telemarketer because it has the break. You answer it. And then it's like. Yeah, yeah. It's a break. I like that you're kind of seeding like a like it's sort of like a sci op to get people to pick up scam. likely cause like you know you never know like this one time it was my mother she was in distress

and called from a stranger's phone so you know maybe guys maybe we should be picking them like i don't know i had to send her three hundred dollars right away google play store gift cards my um rick and morty episode opens with a scam a scam likely call oh really oh yeah this season scam i mean they're frustrating as fuck but i'm assuming that they know that they're scam likely because they're going off of some database where people are like... I mean, they've resorted to text messaging now. Oh, yeah. Right.

How many job recruitment texts have you got? Those I answer every time. I do sometimes reply because I'm like, what are you? They'll say I'm looking for a job and I'll just say some sort of random lie that makes me unqualified. Oh, man. I've gotten so many good job offers lately on my spam likely texts. Dude, what's when I got one today, this is someone from Aerotech.

They said they have a remote job opportunity, $700 per day for just, 60 minutes a day. That's fucking, we should do that shit. I need to hop on that. Yeah, you need to hop on that. You do get paid in Lids gift cards, unfortunately. That's the only problem. Only redeemable at the Dayton Mall.

Perfect. Alas, I left Dayton, I moved away before Lids became a thing, but I bet they had a great lids there. If I had a guess. I really don't talk about the news. What are the other two? What are the other two searches? The other one was

28 by 20 by 12 box My measurements, of course No, I was basically trying I was trying to find I need to send back my suitcase to get repaired Oh, okay

And it's like we're gonna find a box that big I went to the box place And they didn't have anything I got to figure it out Did you go to box city? I didn't go to box city Box City is where you go Okay, I'll look that up

Yeah And then lastly and you know how like I sometimes I'm not the worst technology in social media but like I basically needed to post a link to one of my tour dates and I'm like where is it so I went started typing into Google Beth Stelling like to get my website to come up and it says it fills it out for you oh the one that came up was Beth Stelling husband and I'm not married so I was like let's see who's my husband so the last so one of my search history is Beth's telling husband and it really made me laugh. One of them is my ex-boyfriend. Are they confidently answering that you're married? I feel like I took a screenshot of it because it really made me laugh, but then that will reveal.

I think it matters if it reveals somebody I dated. I mean, I can just Google it myself. That's true. Oh, yeah. T.J. Lavin came up. T.J. Lavin from the fucking, the challenge? Yeah, I love the challenge, and I love the challenge. T.J. Lavin, and he

came to see me in Vegas a couple months ago when I was playing. One of the other guys is a comic who I'm friends with, who runs the fort in Fort Colons. One is Brett Goldstein, who I've been known for like 16 years. And the other one is my ex-boyfriend.

Google shipping, you guys. Damn, T.J. I was even like, damn, you were with T.J. Lavin? I love to fucking challenge. I wish. He rules. So he's happily married. Yeah, yeah. And he's been through it all, hasn't he? Love that guy.

I've got hockey as my number one, auto-complete. I don't play hockey, so that's a bummer. So it's just, did you ever play hockey? No, different Jack O'Brien. Okay. Lots of Jack O'Brien's out there. It's got me somewhere in there, but it's also got Jack O'Brien MD. Okay.

Not a doctor. There's another Miles Gray who is like a lawyer who typically tends to eat up a lot of my SEO. but I'm kind of climbing up the charts now. Miles Gray, you're up there, dude. You're number one. You're first. No. More than Miles Gray the third?

That's, that was the, he took all my fucking handles before. He's sitting on all there at Miles Gray. Space gives me Miles Gray comedian, Miles Gray Daily Zeitgeist, Miles Gray Penn Law. I saw wife. I have to assume as you. Um, my wife definitely makes it. You're like dominating the charts, honestly. Oh, all right.

Well, Jack, I got to go, bro. That's all, that was the whole point of doing the show was to just up this other on the SEO, but okay, great. I wonder which one's really your wife. The first one that you see is not her. I just saw that one. I was like, that is not her. Okay.

But anyone, yeah, yeah, yeah. It could be this one where it's a post from me saying, I love you. Aw. Cute. How do you get that? I'm just kidding. What's something Beth, that you think is underrated? Vacuuming.

I absolutely love to vacuum If you'd like me to vacuum your house I'll come over and vacuum the hell out of it Oh you really like vacuuming like that I love vacuuming Yeah yeah yeah it is so good Is it just like the process of it of seeing a thing I think I have like when I see the canister fill up

I'm like get the fuck in there you pieces of shit Nice cry asshole I thought you could get away didn't you Yeah Yeah, the only thing that makes me mad while vacuum is, is if it tells you got to clean the filter or something because it got too much little dust, tiny particles. I'm like, oh, I don't have time for this. I need to suck up more particles. Yeah, they're all going to get away. Yeah, I really love vacuuming. I invested many years ago in a meelly vacuum.

Oh, yeah. They're so good. And then I got a Dyson, because I, as everybody was saying, that's what's up. And it's pretty good. I don't want to talk about it because it can hear me right now. Yeah, unfortunately, the guy, the guy behind Dyson's a huge piece of shit. Really? Yeah. It's like, I was like, because it was one of those things as a millennial. Like, I aspired to own, like, especially, you know, growing, coming of age in the 2008 financial crisis and being out of college at the time. Like, dude, I'll never fucking have that.

And then you see, you read about this guy and you're like, oh, you're like a fucking anti-immigrant piece of shit. That sucks. Well, Miali is really what's up. I hope Miali is good. Because they're the best. Yeah. I think they're French or something, right? They're from a different country.

Sounds like it. Yeah. Miles Dyson also started the Terminator Apocalypse. That's the one Miles Dyson we do recognize. Not Sir James Dyson, the Brexit freak. Sir James. By the way, I couldn't disagree more. I have a dog's aversion to vacuums.

I run out of the room every time a vacuum is. Too loud. I'm very threatening. Do you, when you're vacuuming, are you like listening to music? or you're just like kind of hearing that that is the music man honestly it's like it's kind of partly a workout in its own way yeah mm-hmm especially you get on some rug or carpet and you're fighting that thing I know move it oh I think there's a devil like or

Dyson commercial at some point where like Fred Astaire was vacuuming oh I didn't see that yeah I'm not listening to anything except the sound the hum of that machine yeah sound of the dirt and just hearing just hearing the little crumbs flicker in the canister maybe something gets caught and you got to be able to you got it that's why you got to have an open here you can't have that vacuum be battling something without yeah you got to hear it what's something you think's overrated I'd say cold plunges mm-hmm the cold plunge sauna thing everybody's so into I'm just sort of like what no I just want to feel different you're gonna get what i don't know it's obviously just like a a wealth thing too to be like i'm going to put

a bunch of cold water i'm going to get a thing in my backyard mhm right second of all paying to just have a cold plunge in your backyard we got it's got to be filled with like yucky stuff right this is i mean i feel like that's it's such a joe rogan coated thing i see when people are Like, dude, I got to have the cold plunge in the thing. Or people who are just really into elite athlete shit. I'm like, that's not, that couldn't be less me. Yeah. It's hard to even take a cold shower.

Oh, yeah. I hate that. It's like a mini little torture to wake up. I'm not denying that it would wake you up or make you feel a certain way. Or maybe it's even good for your heart. I find a fucking scalding hot shower is way more energizing to me than a cold shower. I can tolerate that more. And my gas reflex kicks in like a fucking, I'm just like,

I get sleepy, and then I can't stop sweating if I take two out of shower. Oh, well, got to be careful. I do. Can't shower before a long drive. I'm sorry, officer. I took, you're swerving all over the lane, miss. I took a hot shower. I'm feeling crazy.

If you knew how hot the shower was, you'd be like, how'd you get in your car, man? It's sleepy, man. It's a hot shower. I do think it's it is similar to that like getting fucked up that's for like people who don't get fucked up but like want to feel different

you know remember did you guys have like an older cousin or somebody that would like do the thing where they like cut off their circulation on their neck it's like that that was so hot in eighth grade where I grew up we grew up in the same place

watch this I'm going to choke myself out kind of kill myself We're going to go pass out at Todd's house. I will say the kid that I used to do that, I had a huge crush on. He was like my now ex-stepbrother's best friend. And he's certainly passed away from doing something equally. Right.

What would you call it? Darwinian? I don't know. Chasing the dragon? Yeah, yeah. They're answering the call of the void. Chasing the pass-out game dragon? Today's, I'm not, my brain's not firing on all cylinders.

I've not been able to think of like two to three things. Mary you go around? Couldn't think of that. I was just the first time I saw that. It was with like this neighbor kid I had who went to a different school than me. So I was always kind of seeing shit from a different school when I went over to his house. And his friends came over and were doing that shit. And I was like, what the fuck is wrong with these white kids, bro?

They're strangling themselves to death like in a bedroom. And like the one kid hit his head on like the bunk bed. Yeah, I was just like, bro, this is so fucking weird. I like went home and I was just like, something's not right, mom. They were killing themselves lightly. Look, when you don't have a lot of strife, you have to create it. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm like, I already feel the suffocation of white supremacy all around me. But, God, if you, hey, if it has to be by your own hand, your own white hands, and so be it. Hey, do it like the rest of us. Get it from your parents. Yeah. Uh, let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about what's happening in the news.

We'll be right back. Take a hot shower. Take a hot shower. Make a breakfast. Uh-huh. December 29th, 1975, LaGuardia Airport. The holiday rush.

Parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed. There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal.

I'll be talking to some special guests about pop culture, basketball, and what it's like to be a professional athlete on and off the court.

You'll even get to have some fun with the FUD family. So if you follow me on social media or watch me on TV, you may think you know me. But this show is the only place where you can really fud around and find out. Listen to Fud Around and Find Out, a production of IHart Women's Sports and partnership with unanimous media. On the IHartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Dr. Joy Harden-Brandford,

and in session 421 of Therapy for Black Girls, I sit down with Dr. Afea and Billy Shaka to explore how our hair connects to our identity, mental health, and the ways we heal. Because I think hair is a complex language system, right, in terms of it can tell how old you are, your marital status, where you're from, you're a spiritual belief. But I think with social media, there's like a hyper fixation and observation of our hair, right? That this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post or a reel is how our hair is styled. We talk about the important role hairstylists play in our community, the pressure to always look put together,

and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us. Plus, if you're someone who gets anxious about flying, don't miss session 418 with Dr. Angela Neil Barnett, where we dive into managing flight anxiety. Listen to therapy for black girls on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

And we're back. And so is the Democratic Party.

They're back from the dead. They have a new strategy that everyone's like, Newsom, baby. He's shit-hosting, and they love it. They love it, don't they, folks? You should just start doing an actual Trump impression, like, in his public appearances, too? You might as well.

I mean, in this era. There should be nothing holding anybody back at this point. Right. Who fucking. I think it would be cool if we saw more elected Democrats do something more legislative to fight back, but I guess we can take shit posts and jokes for now, you know, that we'll take that. We'll take that. It's a little bit of, because he has such an anti don't give a fuck energy. Like he seems like someone who is in a cold plunge right now. Oh, he's in a cold plunge right now. He's in a cold plunge right now. Smoking a ketamine smoked cigar. Right. Like do it chasing every. every single trend for prolonging his life, you know? I mean, he's a big Joe Rogan fan, man.

He is. I love, and I told him that. I love Joe Rogan. Sure, Dickhead. But anyway, he, he's really taken social media by storm as he really, he's really presenting himself as the anti-Trump Democrat fighter, but on a rhetorical level, purely. Not on a policy level. Well, I mean, there is, I mean, obviously he is trying to do like for, like, gerrymandering.

He's like, look, if you want to add a bunch of seats, we can do that. I'm like, okay, that's fair. Like, look, you've got to fucking fight fire with fire in that case. I don't disagree with that if that's what Texas is doing. But his recent posts are just basically, we've talked about it. But it's him or one of his staffers just mimicking Trump's egocentric and coherent style of using all caps and giving his ops stupid nicknames. The most popular response from the right has been some version of like, oh, grow up.

Or this is actually cringe. And I'm like, this is, okay, please tell us more. It's kind of genius, like, because to effectively sort of take down Newsom's parody tweet style, you'd have to own that Trump himself is a dumb fuck who tweets like a 4chan AI bot with like questionable grammar skills. So they're just like, they're trying to dance around it. Case in point, Dana Perino, who used to work in the Bush administration, she's on Fox. She gave this sort of take of, she's like, I mean, what, can we, can you, can you, we read like one of them just so people for anybody who like me had not tried to

oh yeah like what's what's what's one of the because they are doing like i feel like he has a writer who's doing a pretty good job of like approximating the whole i mean i think any of us could easily do this but i'm sure but hey bless whoever is getting paid to do that i don't think he could is what i'm saying oh no no no no no no you know what i mean i'm that's where they the liberal implosion is coming in because they're like just so everybody knows he's not really writing this he has a writer yeah which is so funny it's like yeah i mean okay that's what you need to say he's i mean yes also it it reminds me of at least my liberal threads corner is like um i'm allowed to not like stuff that gabin did before but like what he's doing now it's like an announcement

and it's like sure whatever sure yeah I thought you didn't like him. I thought you didn't like when he did this. It's like, are we not past- I thought you didn't like America. Why are you going out to dinner? Are we not- Do you guys remember when freaking John Kerry

lost an entire election for being a flip-fopper? Which technically just means changing over time. I mean, how could you not, how could you not, looking back, I'm like, all you had to do in that moment, in my opinion, and we can't go back, is just like, yes, I've changed.

upon receiving new information right right he did not do that i don't think no so yes to give you an example of something that he tweeted august 14th all caps donald is finished he's no longer quote hot first of the hands parenthetical so tiny and now me gavin c newsom have taken away his quote step many are saying he can't even do the quote big stairs on air force one anymore uses the little baby stairs now sad tomorrow he's got this quote meeting with Putin in quote Russia nobody cares all the television cameras are on me America's favorite governor

even low ratings Laura Ingram parenthetical edits the tapes can't stop talking about my beautiful maps you're welcome for Liberation Day America Donnie J missed the quote deadline whoops and now I run the show thank you for your attention to this matter GCN

that kind of shit and then he'll post like AI slop of like a time magazine cover with him like with a fucking crown on it's like long long one i had seen was him being prayed over by like holkogen with angel wings yeah kid rock and tucker carlson yeah yeah then there's like another one where there's like this uh you know legislator in california this guy carl de mayo he he's been like sort of just shading gavin newsome and gavin newson like the office has been clapping back where it's like he's like this vulgar behavior from newsom can't stand and he put you know a lot about

vulgar behavior, wouldn't you, Carl, with like a screencap of the New York Post that says, potential successor for San Diego's disgraced mayor has alleged history of openly masturbating in bathrooms. And then, yeah, that's actually pretty good. No, it's pretty good. Like, this is how they should be interacting with everybody. They were trying to hold on to decorum there for a while. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's not the window for about five years. I mean, like, there is, this is where people who kind of take, like, are witty with words, they have the edge on just like the racist slop that comes out of the right where you're just like oh i don't know johnny jerk off they're like oh my god how do you why how do you figure out of that um so this is dana perino giving her take and she's just sort of like this is like embarrassing it's so fucking sad here she is huge trump supporter this person the thing is um or at the debate the other thing for me is that for the last week Gavin Newsom And why am I giving him advice?

You have to stop it with the Twitter thing. I don't know where his wife is. If I were his wife, I would say, you are making a fool of yourself. Stop it. Do not let your staff tweet. And if you're doing it yourself, put the phone away and start over.

And if you wrote, he's got a big job as governor of California, but if he wants an even bigger job, he has to be a little bit more serious. Okay, I'm sorry. What did we say? Be a little more serious, like the president of the United States

that he is truly mimicking. He's just doing the exact same thing as the president of the United States. But she's speaking to dumb people. Right. 100%. And then so Newsom clapped back. He like screen capped that or he like quote tweeted that clip and was like, dude, I've been doing this for a week and they still don't get it.

And then he then posted, Dana Ding Dong Perino, never heard of her until today, is melting down because of me, Gavin C. Newsom. Fox hates that I'm America's most favorite government. governor, parenthetical ratings king, saving America, while Trump can't even conquer the, quote, big stares on Air Force One anymore. Trump has, quote, lost his step. And Fox is losing it because when I type, America now wins. Thank you for your attention to this matter, GCN.

So, yeah, Dana Perino then immediately went on Fox again to Foxxplain that actually I do get what's going on. And does this version, let me just play this clip because she's so defensive. And just trying to find a way to sort of like explain how she does get it, but then starts binging up Zorn Mamdani kind of in the process. It's really strange. Here's here she is on the five. Jesse Waters tease her up for this.

Martha's Vineyard Comfab in a second, Dana. But what was Gavin doing there? He was reading tweets that were written for him by people that he is heavily investing in to try to help him look more like Trump, I guess. I mean, I thought they hated Trump, but they're trying to be more like him. and they have to pay people to do it. The thing is, what I was saying yesterday is that I believe that everybody needs to find their own way.

You don't see Governor Andy Bashir doing things like this. He's running his state. Governor Josh Shapiro, running his state. Governor Bretchen Whitmer, running her state. And they've all got big problems. They all have things that they want to accomplish. They all might want to run in 2028. And they are actually involved in being able to show what they show their work.

They'll be able to say, the things that we did. California's got a huge amount of problems. And if you think about mom Donnie, his authenticity is what rocketed him to the top. And now you have Cuomo trying to copy him. And it's just cringe. And that was my point. Is that if you're doing this and it's not authentic and you're trying to do somebody else who you say it's Hitler and you think that we don't get the joke. Oh, no, we get the joke. It's just not funny. Is it funny? Oh, boy. So now she's basically doing like the junior high attack of like oh my god like just not even original style like you're just biting his styles because you don't even have your own

style you're obsessed with him oh my you're a biter you're a biteer peeing your pants is the cool right you really should be like look at my cancles i've got i've been cultivating my ankle strength and this diaper i mean yeah this is just very funny to see her try to be like look if you want to win you got to act like these other governments who are doing like I don't I really don't understand it's like a very stupid way of handling it I don't even know if she knew what she was saying it seems like yes it's a terrible but valid sort of response to it's to me it's just still playing dumb though because it's like guys you know we're not copying his style to win we're mocking yeah it's called satire well no and we get it it's just not funny yeah okay that's funny it sounds like it's struck, I mean, this feels like we're, it's sort of, we're back in the, like, weird sort of phase again when they were calling everyone weird. And it was, they were, it was fucking them up so bad. They were like, yeah, we're not fucking weird. We're not fucking weird guys. Donald Trump is weird. Yeah, like, these motherfuckers are weird. And they're like, uh-uh. And now truly, I mean, it's like, it's just, it's interesting to see that because they are such thin-skinned bullies themselves that to just bully back in this way completely sort of is disruptive for them. at least them. Yeah, like in their punditry. But again, unfortunately, that's not dissuading them from abandoning the policies, which is what we are kind of left with in our lived reality. And I think, look, it's fine because I like to laugh at this shit and like laugh at conservatives. But this maybe, let's add a few more weapons here if you're trying to fully fight back here rather than to be like, dude, do you see that? Dude, I got Trump so pissed. I'm going to be the nominee in 28. If there's an election, I don't know. Should I even worry? Like, Gavin Newsom, if you even want to run in 2028,

like there's a lot of other shit that maybe needs to get solved very quickly. Their instincts are so bad, like the mainstream Democratic Party's instincts are so bad. Like that, yeah, that's funny. The last time I've seen them, the other side, the Republican and conservative side short-circuiting like this is the weird thing. And they just like went away with that up from that for no reason. Like they were just like, I don't know. It seems mean.

Let's let's quit it. Let's cut it out. I hope they go with this. And, yeah, I mean, if there was a lesson to learn from things that have succeeded from the Democratic Party in the past six months, I would prefer that they learn the lesson from Zoran Mamdani and be like, wait, these policies are actually popular, but they don't seem to be doing that. Right. I mean, if you combined those two things, wow. Wow, wow, wow. Yeah, right, exactly. Or at least articulate a bunch of policies that are so antithetical to what's going on that people are like, oh, yeah, that's a way better way of doing things than whatever the fuck this is. But you have so many of the establishment Democrats are just in this sort of state of paralysis, too, because they're like, I don't know, I think it's just easier to be like, Trump's lost it and he's distracting the country rather than really sort of sounding the alarm because this every day, like the existential threat to what we even thought.

was fucking normalcy. It's just, it's going up and smoke. Yeah. All right. Should we talk about the Smithsonian

real quick because this is something that seems to be breaking through specifically Trump literally said that the Smithsonian is too focused on,

quote, how bad slavery was. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Like, oh my God, we get it,

you guys. It's actually a lot worse than I was even taught in school. Yeah. Yeah. As I got older, it's been vastly underreported. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But okay, okay. But the museums are like the one place that it is mentioned. And so they've got to get rid of those, too, like on the margins, you know. So in March, he signed an executive order directing the Board of Regents, the Board of Regents to eliminate, quote, improper, divisive or anti-American ideology from their museums. and that has had a number of dramatic consequences, including the fact that Weird Al has decided he will no longer be donating his Hawaiian shirt for an upcoming Smithsonian exhibit.

Was that in the slavery exhibit? I don't think it was. He wanted it, though. He's like, I think it would be great in the African-American. He's like, weird Al. Hey, what the fuck? I've got like a 2C curl, you know, maybe.

You never know. That's true. So his recent post was the Smithsonian's out of control where everything discussed is how horrible our country is, how bad slavery was, and how unaccompanied, how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been. Anyways, people looked into like where this is coming from because I can't imagine that Trump is spending a lot of time at the Smithsonian. They did take him on a tour of the Smithsonian, and the person who took them on that tour was like, he was not happy anytime anything vaguely negative was mentioned,

he would get really upset. Like, again, like, you're taking a fucking four-year-old on a, you know, through a museum. At one point, he paused in front of the exhibit that discussed the role of the Dutch and the slave trade. And the guy was like, oh, is he, is someone, some of us getting through? And then Trump remarked, you know,

they love me in the Netherlands. So he's like, oh, never mind. This is about the Atlantic slave trip. Okay, yeah, they love me there. So the only name that is mentioned in this executive order that he filed back in March is Lindsay Halligan, Halligan, who is an ex-Miss Colorado contestant from back when Trump owned the Miss Universe pageant. So, like, this was, she was a pageant winner under his pageant. CEO ship. She is a lawyer and she just met Trump at an event at his golf course and he hired her right away. I like the way you look. You seem smart because she at the time she was volunteering for

the Innocence Project, which is shocking. But then she said that Trump reminded her of clients from the Innocence Project. Wait, what? Is that a pickup line? Because he's being railroaded so much, you know? Wow. Wow. Oh, wait.

She said, she said Trump reminded her of people from the Innocence Project. Okay, master manipulator. I love that. I love that. Great. I like how basically he has his own, like this Karen who will just roam D.C. and find things to be upset about and then report back to Trump. Right.

Yeah. Like, it's truly like, the Doge kid who got beat up by teenagers, big balls. It's just like people he knows to determine the fucking entire agenda like of the U.S. government. She moved

to D.C. to work with Trump and just before the inauguration went to the Smithsonian and that's where she made all these discoveries that he is now. Grizzly discoveries. I'm allowed to call him discoveries. I mean to them. For her,

I think they were, I think they were truly discoveries. She was horrified that some exhibits mentioned racism and that others shockingly focused on, quote, another country's history entirely and had nothing to do with America. What the fuck? How do you even, how would you do a museum that wasn't allowed to talk about other countries? We don't need content. I didn't come to a museum for context or historical accuracy. This is just, I mean, you know, this is the playbook that the white nationalists have to run is to try and sanitize any evidence of where, where this country, like, the origins of this country and the ills that we have still not reckoned with. So it has to be just like, I don't,

it's like, you know, it's, it's like when you're like around a dysfunctional couple and like the dude is cheating all the time and they bring it up, they're like, why you got to talk about old shit. Yeah. It's like, right? Because it's, it's why I am the way I am. Yeah, it's setting the table for everything we're experiencing now. Man, you always bringing up old shit. He's treating everything like a beauty pageant. He's like, it looks, it's, it's yucky to talk about that. We should only talk about positives.

I don't want to see your cellulite America. Right. Or that we ever had cellulite or that even existed. It never did. Everyone had Barbie legs from the beginning. So gross. Yeah, everything is like being made for that level of like, vanity and

vanity and like even the like concentration camps are like being named fun like Saturday morning deportation depotation depot is like they all have alliterative names there's the other one that they're opening up alligator alcatraz that was the one there's one in

I think Iowa or Nebraska they're going to call the cornhornhoster clink yeah we talked about that on trending yesterday Trump toilet is what they should all be called right but again like this is all also this helps too to put us like a fun name on it then people will be like oh it's just the cornhusker clink rather than the sight of untold atrocities being perpetrated against innocent human beings right it's also a too long of a name all right let's take a quick break we'll come back uh we'll talk about cassette tapes those are a thing again LaGuardia Airport. The holiday rush, parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys.

Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed. There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal. Apparently, the explosion actually impelled metal, glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulances, just a chaotic, chaotic scene. In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged. and it was here to stay. Terrorism. Law and order criminal justice system is back.

In season two, we're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight. That's harder to predict and even harder to stop.

And these are just a few of the profound and powerful stories

I'll be mining on our 12th season of Family Secrets. With over 37 million downloads, we continue to be moved and inspired by our guests and their courageously told stories. I can't wait to share 10 powerful new episodes with you, stories of tangled up identities, concealed truths, and the way in which family secrets almost always need to be told. I hope you'll join me and my extraordinary guests for this new season of Family Secrets. Listen to Family Secrets Season 12 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And so are cassette tapes. Taylor Swift's new album, drop in in October, not just going to be on streaming.

Also on cassette tapes. And also on vinyl and also on CD. And if you are a fan, you will buy. every single fucking copy because I fucking said so, Taylor out. Of course. I mean, I did have that dream where she asked me to date her to roll up the new album. I was very conflicted.

But we did, she was coming on the show. Was that why she? No, no, no, no, no. Just she, no. She's just appearing. Yeah. Yeah, she, this was just, it was just a random. You know how dreams are?

Like, you're just suddenly in it. And I'm sitting across like, from a table. And she's like, look, so here's the deal. I got this album coming out. And you're my boyfriend. And I'm like, I, I'm married, no. And also, your music isn't for me.

Anyway, the tapes, though, the tapes. Yeah, I mean, I guess it's a trend that's been in full swing for a few years now. They sold 436,000 tapes in 2023, which is, you know, people are like, it's the new vinyl that is up from 80,000 in 2015. Okay, okay. obviously it's not in the 80s it was like 440 million cassette tapes sold i was that was that was my first music media that i ever purchased was casingles oh yeah i definitely had tapes the real casings had i was lucky enough for a christmas one year i think we all asked for it we got the cds with the i'm sorry the cassettes in the front and then that cd on top cd on top speaker oh yeah yep yep

that type of boombox. I remember I couldn't get, like, what did my, uh, what, what did a chore money? Like, and I wouldn't want to buy a thing. We would go to the store. I could only, I could only afford the cingles because at the time the CD singles were too much. So I have a fond memory of being like, maybe I could, nope. Cigils were like 99 cents.

I know. Crazy cheap. That's like about a U2 album just for the fuck of it because it was so cheap on tape. I don't know if they're releasing casings. I think it's probably. just albums at this point. How much are they, do you know? The tapes in this economy?

That's what I'm curious about. Also, what did big boombox get in touch with Taylor? And they're like, please, give us a second life. And she's like, no problem. Yeah. Let's see, you can get, uh, there's a Madonna tape for 20 bucks. So that's how much they're going to be, because I bet hers is also going to be like 20 bucks. Yeah.

You can get Metallica Woodstock 94 double album, 25 bucks. man, that's a CD, baby. What are we doing here? What are we doing? That is too expensive. In my day, that was, this is now, I'm like, in my day, that was $2 fucking $25. But I also couldn't buy the, like, parental advisory. But, like, the track, you could get, like, some of the songs on Kisingle that would, like, not have.

To circumvent Tipper Gore's wrath. Exactly. I also remember one time listening to the mama said, you out Kisengel and the I was like am I going crazy L Kluja's voice sounds like lower and it was because the walkman was running out of batteries and so it was just like dragging the tape slow I'm gonna knock you out mama said no like very gradually over the course of like a day and then I saw a white light yeah children will finally understand the word rewind again, which is exciting.

Yeah. I'm just, I think every time I see like the, all these different collector crazes that like young people are getting into, I, I have to remind myself that I was at one point a collector, but at the time, it was just CDs and tapes. And like, just like people have their little Lubu little fucking shelves and shit, I have my little CD shelf or DVD shelf or I fucking had this CD book that you would carry around to someone's car, be like, oh, you drive them? hold and let me get my CDs and you

fucking have like 60 fucking CDs and that little case logic binder and shit yeah binder I had a I had a one two but they had the one two three four yeah the four the four banger was for the the real music heads it's true yeah anyway it was like a cool thing to be into was like

collecting like having a good CD collection and now it seems like so ridiculous like having a good like stereo system I feel like there's like 80s movies where people just like talk about I was just watching infernal affairs that oh like the basis for the depadded yeah the the depadded the original and like one of the cool characters is like really into like speakers and like stereo cables and stuff like that

like i mean established that they're kind of cool i mean those kinds of things are like i feel like healthy interests to have again rather than being so online where you're like i don't even like there is something to i find myself like yearning for these like older sort of activities that involve some kind of process because I'm so used to like the instant gratification of like the digital era that I'm more and more like yeah what so what about tangible tuning a radio again on a dial you know just the simple things nah that sucked I never liked that I was so good at it so good at it man you guys you need something to oh yeah baby I had well best telling such a pleasure having you on

the daily zeitgeist where can people find you follow you All that good stuff. Bethstelling.com is where you can find my tour dates. I'm at Beth Stelling on all social media. And you could go to YouTube and type in the landlord special and watch that. Otherwise, I have half hour and an hour on Netflix and an hour on HBO Max called Girl Daddy. Mm-hmm. There you go.

I love people falling. and getting scared. And that kind of comes my time on social media. There's this guy called Rebel TV pranks on Instagram. It's like wrong, but it's not so harmful. You know when you watch a prank and you're like, no, this is too mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. This one is a little mean, but it's just people talking on their phones.

Then he kind of comes up to them and he's like, hey, can you give me directions? And they're like, and I just love a good scare. wait is this oh wow i think i'm seeing one that was captioned his soul left his body oh oh jesus christ where's the bathroom how do i know where the bathroom is i don't know call the phone some crazy fucking homeless dude it wasn't though he does sneak up on him you kind of missed the beginning but that one that whole reel is real good because there's more scares on that one. Oh, man, Rebel.

Also, the title is so funny, do Rebel TV pranks? I know. Part of me wonders, is that the original guy or has someone, you know, whatever you call it? Right, right, right. Taking them and put them on their page. I think that's the original guy. Yeah. That's funny.

Miles, where can people find you as their working media you've been enjoying? Oh, sure. Find me everywhere at Miles of Gray, talking 90-day on 420-day fiancé. a, yeah, let's see, a work of media, just a tweet, we're just talking about the Smithsonian, at all chronology.com on Blue Sky, posted,

Dear Smithsonian, Safeguard the Past, move your archives to Canada before destruction claims them. Yeah, it might be a good idea. I know. It was a little dismal. Obviously, we're in a bad time, but hearing about that,

it's just like, or just erase, you can't, how is he allowed to just erase history like this? It's just, well, yeah, that's they're doing the very superficial version and yeah i think that's where god i'm counting on all the teachers who teach history out there but even even a larger burden on their shoulders from already being underpaid but god like that's like the one the last line of defense we have right now and i've just read about how in oklahoma teachers who have moved from california and new york have to go through this like fucking anti-woke screening process to be like you're not gonna fucking teach kids they're accepted and they're just as they are you type shit. So, no. Jesus.

That Oklahoma school superintendent, when he's not busy, watching porn during meetings, he can be a real asshole. That's right. All right, you can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien on Blue Ska, at Jack O'B, the number one.

Working Media I've been enjoying. This is Chris woke Marxist on Twitter pointed out this thing that is not, it's just we pointed out how, like, There are these articles about that Justin Bieber impersonator where they used actual pictures of Justin Bieber to, like, get people to click on it. Just like little tiny, it's weird to be obsessed with like little tiny marginal manipulation like this, but it's still annoying to me. So he pointed out in the trailer for Alien Earth, they quote the rap calling the show, quote, a world arch altering breakthrough.

This seemed excessive even by film publication standards. So I look this up. The phrase appears in a description of the plot in reference to a scientific breakthrough that happens in the plot. So they are describing a world-altering breakthrough in the plot. And then they use that as the pull quote about the movie. Beautiful. That's clever and shameless as fuck. Isn't that the name of the game lately?

That's the sort of thing we should be mad about. You can find us on Twitter and Blue Sky at Daily Zekeyes. We're at The Daily Zekeist on Instagram.
