National Support Education Professionals or Support Education Professionals?

You're welcome. You're welcome, teachers. You come to the middle of the teacher's lounge and then slam the door. Oh my God, taking a plastic knife to Dunkin' Donuts,

it's just like, it was abysmal. Yeah. And you have to cut them into fourths? Ugh. Brutal. Yeah, yeah. I hear in Elon Musk's austerity measures, they're actually gonna take the teacher appreciation days

back from the teachers. They think they have too many appreciation days. In Elon's government, the teacher thanks you. That's right. Thank you so much, sir, for this job, they say to the second grader as they walk into class. You know what else today is? It's Joe Biden's birthday. Thank you. Thank you, King, for making it this far. Thank you for being a transitional president so much. Thank you for forming a bridge with your body that we could walk over into the glorious

future. That bridge, not rickety at all. No, no, no, no. Nailed it, sir. Sir, you nailed it. Stuck the landing, King. Yep. Loved you on parks and rec.

My name is Jack O'Brien, AKA Kevin Bacon got a bottle says he's talking about a ship, the mean and has a second one. Oh no, it's about sex. You put the bottle in the high bell glass. You simulate and fucking put the bottle in the high bell glass. You simulate and sex put the bottle in the high bow glass you simulate and sex put the bottle in the high bow glass you simulate and fucking put the bottle in the high ball glass and dedicate kids away they say da da what's Kevin Bacon talking about that's it still going that Apollo 13, AKA courtesy of panoramic view on the discord.

Yeah. Apollo 13 opens with Kevin Bacon bottle fucking a high ball glass. Awesome. Yeah. With a very horny narration to accompany it. Have you guys done Apollo 13 on Bechdel? No, we haven't. I know that. Does he do that?

He does. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and his character type, Poonhound. Wow, good for him. This guy likes the ladies. I'm the guy that fucks on this ship. Yeah, that's true. I feel like Kevin Bacon is a little bit obsessed with his dick.

It wasn't that a thing in Hollow Man. They spent a lot of CGI money, like when CGI cost so much money. To make him a dick? To make him a dick that looked good. Make him a better dick? Yeah. Make me the man I wish I was. Anyways.

There's an article that says that Time Filmmaker scanned every inch of Kevin Bacon's penis is a headline I saw. Okay, cool. Fascinating. Anyways, his dick obsession translates over to Apollo 13, the very first scene. Like one of the first things we see anybody say is simulated sex.

Anyways, I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co-host. Me. Mr. Miles Gray. It's Miles Gray, aka. I would eat a whole pie, I would drink up your wine, but you can go to hell if your turkey's not brined. I will spit it right out, kick your mom in the mouth, if it comes out dry, disgusting, want it nice and tender,

not like a dessert, come and fuck around, you will soon be finding out Don't mess up my Thanksgiving food Yeah, shout out to Salad that was obviously a reference when Marcella was on we were talking about the Salvadorian turkey dish that is apparently the most goaded way of making turkey Shout out to the people who shared the recipe with me, because that does look very tender, juicy the whole way through, because you're just constantly putting

liquids on top the whole time. But anyway, love. Shout out to 86. I do it once halfway through and my turkey tastes like shit. So yeah, maybe a constant recycling of the juices would be a better idea. Perhaps. Miles were thrilled, blessed to be joined once again in our third seat by one of the very faces on Mount Zeitmore, an Emmy nominated writer, artist, comedian,

behind many of the best podcasts ever made, like the Act Cast, Ghost Church, the Bechdel Cast, the wonderful new podcast, 16th Minute of Fame, which has covered subjects like William Hung and Moodang. She's the New York Times bestselling author of Raw Dog. It's Jamie Lofton! Jamie! AKA the baddie from Brockton. Yeah.

Hey, what happened to Lil' Poopy? Let's go! Lil' Poopy? Lil' Poopy? I, what happened to Lil Poopy? Let's go. Lil Poopy, Lil Poopy. I dethroned Lil Poopy. Yeah, I forgot about the most famous people from Brockton, Mass. He's got to be like big Poopy at this point, right?

Yeah. I think he's adult Poopy. He needs to make some sort of bow-wow transition. Let's see where Lil Poopy is at. We're not talking about Lil Poopy and Brockton like we used to be. Let's see where little poopy is at. You know, we just we were we're not talking about little Poopy and Brockton like we used to be. He's 21 now. Oh my god Oh, he's smoking blunts. He's smoking blunts on his ig. No little poopy. You're too. Oh look This is little poopy right now

Little poopy. Wow. He still looks so young. He look Baby face look that boy. He must, oh, look, that boy, he must've been sitting on that thing. It looks like a tic tac. Little Poopy, you're wild for that. You're wild for that, Little Poopy. This honestly looks like an anti-smoking commercial. Like where they like start up the thing

and they're like, yeah. His last post was from 2020. Wait, that's from 2020. Wait, so how old, uh-oh. What happened to Little Po old? Uh-oh. What happened to Lil' Smoppy? Let's not look too deeply into this. This is why we can't have journalists on, like Jamie, who will look at the details.

Nothing but love and respect. Yeah, now I need to figure out where he went. I hope that he's just moved on. We don't want to spoil a future episode of 16th Minute. Yeah. I would travel to, I would visit my mom to interview Lil little poopy. Jamie, how have you been?

I've been good. I've been good. Yeah, I know it has, it's been longer than usual. Yeah. It's been good. Yeah. It's been too long. It's been, it's been a year.

It's been. It's been. Did you want an answer to this question or were you just gonna do bits? Nope, just gonna do this. No, it was a formality and I recognize that. Let's just say I'm fine. Let's go with that.

Yeah, I like that. I don't wanna hear that. It's great to have you back. I don't wanna hear anything else. Great to be back. We're gonna get to know you a little bit better at a moment. First, we're gonna tell the listeners

a couple of things we're talking about. We are getting a view of what the mainstream media is going to look like in the second Trump administration via MSNBC. It's called Cowardice. Scarborough and the Brzezinsk. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about Coca-Cola doing a new AI version of their famous holidays are coming ads, which I didn't know were famous. I was actually not that familiar with this ad. You don't remember that?

Yeah. I don't know what. Oh my God. I remember that there used to be a, Santa Packs are coming. Santa Packs are coming. And then I just remember they, I just, they always did,

always Coca-Cola, but with the more Christmasy, with the bells in the back. But yeah. Maybe I'd like seen it, but I hadn't really, like there's some weird stuff in the original ad and then the AI version just kind of underlines it. It's a mess.

All of that, plenty more. But first, Jamie, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Okay, this is, I said Neopets earlier and it's because it's top of mind. I'm back on, uh, that's where I'm actually at. I'm back on Neopets.

Uh, so I Googled Neopets, Termaculus Hours. I can tell you what that means if you like, but yeah, I mean, there might be some listeners who don't know. Is that an expansion pack or something? It's, it's the 25th anniversary of Neopets. What the fuck is that? Yeah, I mean, there might be some listeners who don't know. Is that an expansion pack or something? It's the 25th anniversary of Neopets. It hit my feeds like a plane because they know what I like. Good number 11 reference.

Thank you. And so I started an account like two weeks ago to celebrate the 25th anniversary. And it is weird like how muscle memory, because I was so, I mean, I learned capitalism from Neopets. And I don't know if I felt good about that. But like I have in Neopets as a 12 year old, I had like a bank account. I had a mortgage. Right. I had kids to feed.

Like there was a lot to do. I had to groom them or they got dirty. Like it was a whole thing. And what you can do is you can get your Neopets pet pets. So now they have their own pet. And if you go to the Termaculus, which is this gigantic dinosaur like creature, sometimes if you go to the Termaculus

at certain hours of the day, gigantic dinosaur like creature. Sometimes if you go to the Tremaculus at certain hours of the day, he will give you a fancy vegetable. Oh, and what does this vegetable do? You just feed it to your neopet and it says, thank you. Fancy. That's it. That's all that happens.

Await for one random hour every day. Yes. Yeah, You'll just go. So do you get notifications that somebody like, oh, he's awake. He's awake. The community is hurting. I really don't think anyone. Yeah. See, I just tried to wake him up and snort. The Termaculus did not wake.

Wow. You hate to see it. You hate to see it. So I was just trying to figure out, I would like one of the fancy vegetables to feed to my sons. Yeah. Yeah. And you know how long it takes to get to Marydale? Marydale or wherever the fuck. Thank you. Thank you for using the right terminology. Welcome to my world.

Yeah. Okay. He's a as a giant term act pet pet. Marydale. Okay, cool. Cool. Cool. Yeah, I brought my robot pet pet to the Tremaculus to see if he'd give me a vegetable and he said no. So that's, but someday. So yeah, to answer your question, Jack, how have things been? Not great.

Well, they've certainly been better. Awesome. So it's like an open world. Are you interacting with other people wandering around in there? I actually don't know shit about Neopets. Too old. No, I liked Neopets because it didn't... I feel like the alternative to Neopets was Club Penguin.

And Club Penguin, you would interact with other people, and it was mostly like little boys saying slurs and stuff. Sure. So it was like PlayStation Live or whatever. Neopets, you can really just kind of do your own thing. And I celebrate that. The games are awesome. They still have all the old games. And yeah, and I've been gambling. I've been auctioning things off. I've got another house in Fairyland. It's a nice house. Yeah. No, that's the most expensive house, Jack. So it's actually kind of a big deal.

Yeah, no, that's great real estate if you can get it. That's... Really hard, really competitive fields, which is why I only have one chair to put in it so far. But I've been gambling, I've been auctioning stuff off. Yeah. Just cut that, let's use that as a... How have you been? How have I been?

Well, I've been? How have I been? I've been mumbling stuff off. I've been auctioning stuff off. Trying to feed my pet pet. What is, what's something you think is underrated? Underrated? The only AI thing I have ever enjoyed, I encountered recently. So this is also, I feel like everything I'm going to say is like, well, she could be doing better.

I was Googling, why are my cats friends? I was like, why do my cats love each other so much? So I looked up Russian blue, I think what it's like a Bombay cat friends. And there is an AI generated video that is, it makes me laugh. I watch it all the time. It's so funny.

It's just a robot voice explaining the temperament of my gray cat. And it sounds like a gray cat wrote it. It's like the beautiful gray cat runs around the house with the grace of a Russian ballerina. And first, when they're talking about the black cat, they're like, the black cat is friendly. The gray cat, the grace of a Russian ballerina. The Russian blue is a well-humored cat. I have the whole thing memorized.

The Russian blue is a is a is a good humored cat. But be sure to laugh with him, not at him. He's very sensitive. Yeah, that is like it was written by an insecure gray cat. Yeah, like this is not gray. This is blue. For example, even a video that says how to become friends with a Russian blue cat. You can't.

People think it just chooses you. That's just such a tortured Google search. Like how to become friends with this cat. He's so lonely. He's also he's fully a gray cat. There's no denying he is a gray cat. But the video says to the uninformed, he may look gray. However, however, he's actually- You thought that was gray, stupid?

Wow. He's actually blue with silver tips, which again, just absolutely not true. He's gray. Yeah. I was going to say, isn't there something scientific about blue not occurring blue not, like, occurring as, like, a fur or something or? Not to the uninformed files. That may be true. Okay. Okay. That's amazing. Yeah, there's just like some weird pockets of like propaganda. Like, you see this in sports, obviously, all the time where like you just happen on like a Yankees forum, and it's just like, they have a different

version of reality. They're like, actually, this guy is cool. He doesn't look like a cop. That mustache works for him. And our team should have won the World Series. We're actually happy we lost. But yeah, just a one... We learned, and we'll only get stronger. That's actually the best thing that's ever happened to us. But like, just one breed of cat, they're like, yeah, black cats are nice. Anyways.

This one though. Do not laugh at this guy. He doesn't deserve it. Not like the other cats. Laughing with him, not at him, really gets me every time. If AI could be regulated to that kind of video and then like AI plankton karaoke covers.

I would be totally, the AI plankton I'm just can cover really got me through last summer. Do you like 10 Drunk Cigarettes? Did you hear that one? No. It's a song that's supposedly AI. I think it's too funny to be AI, but it just talks about like, it's kind of like girl bossy,

but then it's like, you know, here's what girls like instead of men. And here, I'll find the chorus. Oh, wow. You just had it so ready. Okay. Okay. I don't believe this is AI for a second. That's so funny. I don't believe this is AI for a second. That's so funny. It's too good, right? Girlie girls cigarettes. Sound like the blunt references.

Yeah. I'm like, okay. All right. I hear you. And 10 drunk cigarettes. So much cocaine. Or more of lines of cocaine. Oh my God.

I don't believe it's AI. I think it's probably one of those things. I think it's probably one of those things that we're all used to. I think it's probably one of those things that we're all used to. I think it's probably one of those things that we're all used to. I think it's probably one of those things that we're all used to. I think it's probably one of those things that we're all used to. I think it's probably one of those things that we're all used to. I think it's probably one of those things that we're all used to. I think it's probably one of those things that we're all used to. I think it's probably one of those things that we're all used to. So much cocaine. And 10 more cigarettes. Oh my God.

I don't believe it's AI. I think it's probably one of those things. I also don't understand, that happened with that, I think it was a George Carlin routine where someone was like, we AI'd George Carlin. And then it was like, actually, we're comedy writers. Right, right. So how do you do that? You're just convincing media executives that you don't ever need to exist in the media

ecosystem ever again. But what a bit. What a bit. What a bit. What a bit. What, Jamie, what is something that you think is overrated? Okay. So my mom is retiring in a couple of weeks and I was just looking for ideas.

It's really hard to know what to get someone when they're retired. I tried to like get her like a spa package, but she's like, I don't want it. So I was like, okay, what is the Chachki situation? And it is bleak. It is really brutal. It's either like every, I looked at, cause I was like Amazon is where you get

the most cursed results, right? So I'm like, I'm just like, what does the spread even look like? If I go to the Hallmark store, what's even going to be there? Only two messages, only two messages. One is very simple, wholesome. Never underestimate the difference you made in the lives you touched. 2024, happy retirement.

Okay, fine. Not inspired, but the rest are real. Like, here's a jar candle that says, smells like it's not your problem anymore. Hashtag happy retirement. And you're like, what the fuck is that? What do you call, and it's always, it's in like wine mom font.

What do you call a person who is happy on Monday? Retired. More like- Life is fucking bleak. It really is very late capitalism where it's like it's talking to you like you've died because you're no longer making money. Quitter. I mean, happy retirement. Congratulations on escaping. Yeah, there's one on Etsy that says fucking quitter in.

Then it says, oops, I mean, happy retirement. Wow. Just as like gifts you can give someone to indicate your rage at them. Like, so I can't imagine like taking that home and being like, OK, time to light up my smells like it's not my problem anymore soy candle. Like, it's just my problem anymore soy candle.

Like it's just, yeah. Yeah. It feels like the next escalation is like there's fucking blood on your hands. Anyway, happy retirement. There's one here that it says, we can't believe you are leaving. The place will be dead without you. To us, you are irreplaceable, but you are dead to us, is in like big letters, so that's all you can read. It's like, why are you so mad?

It's so aggressive. And then the other things, I think even the more encouraging retirement gifts are like indicating that like life after having a job will be very bleak. Like there's this like AI generated blanket I'm looking at that says like retirement rules, no clocks, wake up smiling, naps, family and friends, travel, grateful for the day, read a book, make memory.

You're like, oh my God. Take the pills that your helper is giving you. My mom's 64, like she's a gun. She's going to be fine. Because like so much of the American working ethos is just to be like, you die now, so you can maybe relax later. Whereas like other countries, you know,

like in Europe and stuff, they take vacation more seriously. Like you gotta kind of be able to live now too. Like don't save that for the end. So all these things just sort of like reinforce. It's like, well, now that you're done, you can have some coffee and lay down and enjoy yourself congratulations I want no clocks wake up smiling take now for a walk read a book make memories. No clocks wake up smiling. No stress, relax, grateful for the day. Make memories. Oh my god you're right I should get around to doing that because I didn't do that for many years.

Just a really aggressive area of the gift space. I don't like it. There's multiple versions on Amazon of things written on the bottom of feet, like socks with like matches on the bottom of feet. The queen has retired. Don't ask me. I'm retired. The queen has retired. Don't ask me, I'm retired. It is just like-

Goodbye tension, hello pension. Is there one I just- But the only time you ever see the bottom of feet is in these pictures of retirement socks and like dead bodies on movie posters. Like in a morgue. Or a Tarantino movie. I also like, I don't think I would ever want to like wear a shirt or have like home decor

that like indicated my working status. Like that's fucking weird. That's really weird. Yeah. I looked up retirement minions. That might be more, that might be more up for alley. Yeah, that's good. Yeah.

Is your mom big on minions? Huge on minions. You were ahead of me on the minions, but it has fully invaded our household. Did you finally get there? Oh, welcome. I'm sorry that they came in, I'm sorry they came in at Despicable Me 4.

It's just like one of the weaker installments, but it was there at midnight when it came out. It wasn't that good, but it had its moments. Like the minions with super powers really, but I feel like they fucked up a little bit. It could have been better. I just feel like why would you give Gru a baby? He has 200 babies, they're minions.

200 babies. Yeah, yeah. No more babies for Gru. They just took Jack-Jack from the Incredibles. They did. And like put him in this. They totally did. And I, you know, fuck that kid.

More minions. Fuck Jack-Jack. More minions. They should have him die. That I, you know, fuck that kid. More minions. Fuck Jack-Jack. More minions. That's what my character's called. Jack-Jack. Jack-Jack. Instagram. Yeah, I remember.

Instagram. The Incredibles. Jesus Christ. I just remember, yeah, when I went to Disneyland last year, there was places like Jack-Jack's Cookie Num Nums. And I was like, what the fuck? Did I have like a brain injury? Like, what is this?

They just want you to have to say that out loud to another adult. Right. You go to Jack Jack's cookie num nums and you're like, now you know the secret. Why? Now you know the secret of why during ad breaks. I say, Miles, give me a second for Jack Jack's cookie num nums and take a little have a little snack. Mm hmm. Jack Jack's cookie num nums and take a little, have a little snack. Jack Jack's cookie num nums.

All right. That's depressing. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.

be better. And I would dream of being better. At night I would dream that my face was quote unquote normal or back to the way it was and I'd wake up and there'd be no change. I also speak with scientists about how we can be more resilient in the face of change. You can think of the adolescent brain as like this social R&D engine of our culture. That they're something that looks like risky and idiotic to us is maybe their way of creatively trying to solve the problem of having social success

and fewer of the things that bring you social failure. Listen to a slight change of plans on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

That's iHeart.com slash podcast awards. And we're back. We're back. Back. Let's just do this instead of talk about the mainstream media capitulating to fascism.

Yeah, well, look, we got to keep our eyes and ears open and out for this kind of stuff. Just so you know. What if I retired? What if, let me just put this out. What if I retired? What if I said smells like your fucking problem? Not my problem.

Smells like someone else's fucking problem. Where's that pension cut? I hope it's not tied to the stock market. It's just so you know, that might come back to you to haunt you. But no, my pension num nums are going up. Okay, good. Good. Your penny num nums are going up. But so anyway, like in the aftermath of the election, obviously, we talked about MSNBC just saw their ratings fall harder than I would for a snowman that just came to life with six back. life with six back and a brain. Hot. Oh yeah. Miles is two things.

Miles is helpless against. Yeah, exactly. Baby brain. Yeah, but he is numb. Numbs. I think most of it though, obviously was probably due to the fact that people just wanted to like avoid the reality of what had happened on election day. But there's also like just the case of like,

you know, MSNBC just like sucks. And I just want to point out a huge L the network just dealt itself in the form of morning Joe host, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. We touched on it in the episode with Magpie yesterday, but you know, they made a trip to Mar-a-Lago. Essentially they like pledged fealty. Kiss the ring.

Yeah, exactly. And they like, you know, it's clear that there's a, there's a clip on Twitter that I think Ken Clippenstein posted that sure, sure, it shows sort of shows how like the energy went from like this guy's a fascist to then suddenly like this solemn, like, well, you know, we've been doing a lot of thinking. This is just kind of a sort of before and after

comparison of like what was they were saying on their show. Joe, a lot to talk about in a jam packed of scary stuff speech by former President Trump. You've always had this fascist talk coming from him. And now we're going, we're just going full on Hitler talking about one election. Joe and I went to Mar-a-Lago to meet personally with President-elect Trump. It was the first time we have seen him in seven years. And for those asking why we would speak to the President-elect during such fraught times, especially between us, I guess I would ask back Why wouldn't we oh five years of political warfare?

And maybe I should be asking you the question in the country Joe and I realized it's time to do something Different and that starts with not only talking about Donald Trump, but also talking with him What we did agree on was to restart communications. Okay, that's the gist of it. Like it goes on to. The division that is the problem. It's not the fascism, it's the division from the fascism. That's the problem.

And with that Bob, it just pisses me off, hearing that coming out of a blog, Bob, I'm like, okay, you're like two thirds of the way to Fox anyways with that. Right, right, right. Unbelievable. like, okay, you're, you're, you're like two thirds of the way to Fox anyways, with that. Right. Right. Yeah. Unbelievable.

This, uh, I don't know. I, I, I feel like the way that I can tell where MSNBC is standing with, with the Libs is when the last time I was home, my mom's, uh, MSNBC mom mug, back of the cabinet. Oh, yeah. It was Jover for her already. Oh no. I have a time with Joe Scarboroughborough or Joe Biden because there's two versions of being Both of them both of them. Yeah, the tone of that whole thing was so weird like the room tone is deafening

There's like a weird like buzz they like they just seem I don't know They both look like they just took a handful of Mike Will and are trying to keep their eyes open. Yeah. They're mispronouncing words like they're reading a PSA cold for the first time. It does feel like some men in black shit happened to them at Mar-a-Lago, and now they're allies to the president. Right. Yeah. Totally.

But really, they're just spiritually weak. I think, yeah, but also the reporting around it seems to be that they are very worried about what will happen to them. And that's the whole reason for it. It's purely out of self-preservation. They're like, let's just be fine. Let's reopen communications. I just also want to just show this quickly.

Like, obviously everyone's reaction was like, what the fuck are they doing? Like, why would they do this? Like, why are they just bending the knee? I know. So then the very next episode, because first of all, once they posted that, they like, like they prohibited like any comments

from being posted on anything they were posting because they just didn't want to hear any feedback from that clip. Oh my god. So then the next day on Tuesday, they're like, can we just like talk about how much of like a non-L that whole thing was? This is them the next day explaining why it's totally okay what they had done the previous broadcast. Yesterday I saw for the first time what a massive disconnect there was

between social media and the real world. That's the open. Why are they, oh God, look at them leaning towards each other. Yeah. Look at the, like they're. I know, I think she's just, I think it just feels so weak from everything.

She's like, I need to just. Yeah. Lean towards you. Cling together for warmth. Yeah. Because we like, I need to just lean towards you. Yeah. Because we were flooded with phone calls from people all day, literally around the world. A very positive, very supportive, going understand what you do, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

But once in a while I would get a text or a call from someone and go, oh man, I hope you're doing OK. And I call them back and I go, well, Eddie Gladwitz, whatever. And we go, Eddie, are you on Twitter? And he goes, I am. I go, OK, well, Eddie Gladwell is one of them. We go, Eddie, are you on Twitter? And he goes, I am. I go, okay, well, I'm not. So, I'm not. So, Noel's taken and they just keep going on about it.

It's like, yeah, you know, like it just seems, I mean, when talking to other, uh, millionaires who are in the real world as well, everything is okay. Yeah. Twitter is not the real world. Phone calls from rich and powerful people who have my phone number are the real world. That's the crazy-making thing where I feel like this is a trend across mainstream media, whether we're talking centrist or just full psycho, where the internet is a real and influential space when it behooves

the narrative and when it doesn't behooves the narrative, Twitter isn't real life. Shut the fuck up. But also podcasts won the election. You're like, which is it? Which is it? How do we actually feel about the influence of that space? Right. Is it Brad Summer?

Because I thought it was Brad Summer too. And there was a lot of write ups about coconut Twitter and all that shit. That wasn't the real world. That wasn't the real world actually. That's not the real world, no, no, no. But like this all comes as like, you know, people like Nancy Pelosi and Hakeem Jeffries, who by the way, just kept his spot

as like minority leader in the house. Thank God, brave leadership for the Democrats. They're making comments about like finding common ground with Trump. And obviously there's two ways to look at this. The first being they are being strategic and not wanting to be antagonistic out the gate. So they maybe have some room to maneuver, or they are totally just out here trying to normalize this administration to save their own asses. Either way, it's not sending the right message to Americans, which is that this administration is truly going to be like nothing we have ever witnessed in our brief history as a nation.

And along with that, I get the maybe being strategic saying like, maybe we can find common ground, but there's not a, I can't think of a single moment where Donald Trump is like, I listened to the Democrats and they actually had a good point, and I felt like we needed to come to a place of, well, he was always knocked down, drag out fights with Democrats. Maybe because enough Republicans are like, this thing isn't going to pass or whatever,

they would take their foot off the gas. But this entire time when Trump's been out of office, there's been no semblance of him trying to find common ground with Democrats. So it's like, what is this for? I mean, I feel like this has been a consistent thing from Democrats at the highest level since Trump won a re-election. Starting with, I was really frustrated by Kamala's concession speech being like,

everything's going to be okay. And you're like, no, it's not. And you ran on the correct idea. I thought we're not going back and it's a threat. And you're like, it's going to be okay. You're like, it's actually going to be... I was just fucking around. Don't worry, you guys.

It's actually going to be totally fine. And it's just like, it's so condescending. It's so frustrating. And it's just like, I don't's just self-preservation and cowardly to do, especially because, I don't know, if it is a strategy, did that strategy not just fail Democrats massively trying to capitulate to Republicans? It didn't work. Why do you keep trying to make it work?

It's insane that that was happening less than three weeks ago. And they're like, all right, let's, one last shot. But this time to a fascist government. And you're like, yeah. Please, I like you. Don't, don't fuck me up. Really? Anyway, so here we are.

And they will, I guess they need another bite of the poison apple to make sure it's poison again. What possible benefit like strategically what having worked with him or like around him for a long time now, what possible benefit are they even telling themselves at this point that it's like working with him is going to get more flies with honey approach. Yeah. But they know that that's not true at that point with, I clearly they don't know that that's what they're doing. Like, no, that's the only logic would be like, I think it's the, I think it's just, they recognize that it's a transactional, uh, he's purely transactional

and you need to kiss his ass in order to like not be attacked. And that's being attacked is scary to them. And so they're just doing, like Jamie said, like the most cowardly thing in the name, like Joe Biden saying, like turn down the temperature, like after, after the election is, Oh, okay. Like, Yeah. Wouldn't this be the time to, I don't know, maybe there are people being like, okay, Biden, here's what we do.

Game plan the next three months. You need to like start passing the most radical legislature. And he's just like, what? No, no, no. This is where I turn down the temperature. I'm going to space out the jungle. Yeah. I'm like, how is Liz Cheney not turning down the temperature on doing anything?

I just, it just drives me up a wall. I just, I don't know. I don't know. It must be a kink or something. They're like, we'll just gamble with vulnerable American lives to get off on this weird phantom thread thing they have going with Trump. It's just so fucked. I don't know.

Yeah. I mean, I think this is what we're going to see. Like the ruling classes, the now more than ever corporations will abandon their morals on this just like they did Gaza. Like they rooted out dissent on that. Like this is just being expanded and it's... Yeah. I'm not holding out any hope for any of the, like, center-left democratic institutions to do shit this time around.

I think it really is gonna have to come from the bottom up. It's going to be very bleak if you pay attention to the mainstream media because it's just going to be capitulation and talking about how crazy or unrealistic the demands of everybody else is. But we just need to push forward. Oh, you're going to see, I'm sure you'll see some weird mass deportation apologia come out. But these people were criminals with whatever.

Right. It's just, I'm, it's going to be, there was a New York Times headline, uh, yesterday, I think, or two days ago, that was like, there's a mass, like young school-aged children, unhoused crisis in New York due to rampant immigration. Like they're getting on board with the talking points in their headlines. It's absurd. I mean, and yeah, I feel like using Gaza as a, as a yardstick for how they're going to handle it is probably true where I mean, the whole, the whole last

year plus like every, almost every Democrat I've heard talk about Gaza is like, Oh, this is so horrible. I wonder what could happen to stop it where, you know, just acting like they have no power and like who could, you know, whatever Tim Robinson and the fucking hot dogs suit, like we're all trying to figure out how we can do this. It's like, you are in power. Obviously you're not going to do anything. And now there's not, now it's like, there's no, you know,

but if I did something, I wouldn't be in power anymore. So, and that's scary to me. You said that as you're like walking into the woods mumbling. Like, I do, I do want to get your opinion on that. If he had indeed walked into the Amazon rainforest, just like straight through, do you think an animal would have eaten him? I feel like he probably doesn't even register his food

to animals at this point. I feel like he would have, for some reason, walked in an exactly straight line for like 50 miles and then collapsed. And that would have just been- That's right. Or I could also see a bunch of bugs covering him and he just becomes like a big blob of bugs that walks around

Just covered in bugs like you don't even see the form of Joe Sager from men in black. Yeah They use his like skeletal structure to create a new organism, which is just like He's reached his final form Talk about a bug bite. I got a bug bite. Here. Well, dang.

We'll leave my dogs alone in the backyard. Driving them wild every night. All right. Bug Biden's back in the yard. Let's take a quick break. Quick break. We'll be right back. Hey guys, I'm Kate Max.

Hey there, I'm Dr. Maya Shanker, a cognitive scientist who studies human behavior. On my podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, I marry science and storytelling to better understand how to navigate the big changes in our lives.

Let's go. Yup. All right. Let's talk about the holidays are coming. Coca-Cola commercial started in the 90s, featuring a truly intimidating number of trucks pulling into a town in the original with like Christmas lights on the trucks and then everything they pass turn into Christmas lights? Yeah, holidays are coming.

Holidays are coming. Just a quick refresher, quick refresher. Yeah. You can hear that little VHS buzz. Oh, look. Wow. Those are real trucks. I love this. Shit.

For toast, corn syrup, toast, corn syrup, toast, corn syrup. That's so many trucks. That is this line of trucks is kind of just many trucks We're here to bring put everyone in this town into diabetic shock This is a show of strength I love it. They would yeah, you could get the little truck and then do you remember the polar bears the Coca- the polar bears the free and coca-cola polar bears? Yeah, there's the old Santa Lee that old man's like what is Chris Christmas?

Turned on and he just looked at the fucking extension cable and the plug he's like what the fuck the magic of Christmas You don't need electricity Like yeah, he kind of does look up like they've finally come for me. Like he's been waiting for this day would come. Yeah, post like truck caravan culture. This is actually far more menacing. She goes to a shed in his backyard and there's just weapons all along the wall. He kicks the door open. He's like, honey, the day has come. Yeah. He pulls a fake book and then like book guy goes,

it's like, yes, I thought I would lay you down forever. He's got a Dexter's lab style panic room. Yeah. It is a really well executed commercial. They even have like, it reminded me of the Graceland, like, ladiesmith black Mombazo, like vocal arrangements where it's like this like, you know, like a- But it's like- Oh, kind of, yeah.

Like a har-capola. But then they're like, holidays are coming. So it's like, we're white. Yeah, it's ladiesmith white Mombazo. There it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what we have to call it. So anyways, this is what a classic bit

of Christmas nostalgia from Coca-Cola. And they were like, what if we like fucking ruined that? What if we, I don't know, AI this shit? Mix some AI in the mist. Yeah. And it's, I don't know, it's not as horrifying as some of the AI shit that we've seen, but just the overall impression of it. Yeah. It reminded me of the thing, like, uh, Jurassic park, famously, like all these CGI special effects, and I assumed they were all CGI, but then like, when you

look at the actual making, it's like 10% CGI and the rest are practical effects. And then you have the actual, like, the actual, the actual, the actual CGI special effects and I assumed they were all CGI. But then like when you look at the actual making, it's like 10% CGI and the rest are practical. And the CGI just doesn't look as shitty when it's next to the practical. Whereas this is just all AI. And it's like after the eighth shot

where everything is like glistening and weird and looks like it's like behind a glass in like some museum or something like the like future museum where they're observing us. Well, I'm like also like the perspectives on stuff isn't consistent. So it feels like when you're like taking psychedelics and you're wondering if they're kicking in yet and you're like, dude, I think there's shit just wobbled a little bit. That is how I feel looking at AI people.

It makes me feel like when I'm on mushrooms and I think someone's mad at me. Yeah, you're like, like, you're just like, why are they looking at me like that? They're like, are you wearing purple foundation right now? No, never mind. Never mind. Yeah. So they did like three different AI ads. And this is so funny. Someone tweet is like the company I work for just created an ad for Coca-Cola. Yes. The Coca-Cola.

We were asked to bring the classic Coca-Cola holidays are coming ad back through the use of AI. Check it out. Here it is. I'm glad they anticipated my commercial. Wait, Coca-Cola, which which which Coca-Cola? Yeah, yeah, that one. Wow, Chris, really cool. Is this your cousin, Marvin Barry?

Already the ratio, the quote tweet ratio is looking pretty brutal. Yeah, yeah. Oh, Chris. Just for the numbers, I don't feel good for this poster, but here is the whatever we can tolerate of this AI version. Yeah. Okay, we got a bottle alleys the winter the Arctic

No, not the bear the bear chase you see I like that everything's just ruckus breathing by the way first of all, yeah Comes out of the front By the way, first of all, yeah. Why did the exhaust comes out of the front? Is that supposed to be like it's the bear also change shape when it came out of the water, its head shape wobbles. Yeah. And the nose like turned into almost three nostrils and then was like, like the AI woke up. I'm like, you're fucking it's only two.

It's only two nose holes. But yeah, it's like, I guess the logic here is like, you can see the truck's breath, it's so cold. Yeah. I think. Okay, so this is- So the trucks are weird. Watch the trucks.

Look at the text on the trucks, it's so weird. Whoa! Yeah, the trucks are like different shapes and sizes and then there's this one shot where they're going- That dog has a gun. What are these squirrels doing? That one can't blink. All right, there, right there.

Freeze it right there. The Coca-Cola trucks are on an escalator. Look at how they're like going down the hill. Do you see how like they're flat, but like one's down? Like they're just going down on an escalator. It's so weird. Yeah, like the wheels are moving. Basically, it looks like, yeah, like

the wheels are locked up during a snowstorm. It's like, fuck, we're just going where gravity's taking us. Yeah. That wasn't, um, show you want to, you want to keep going? Shall we keep going? Do we have seen the people yet? Oh, yeah. That's the different one. That's the different one. We want to see the people one. Yeah. let's see the people ones real fucking bad, too Here it is. This one is called just Christmas Coca-Cola Christmas advert Oh, this is really like yeah sending giving me chills of joy This holiday season so again, oh Paul polar bears this... That one. Look at that look on her face. It's like...

Like, are they twins, too? Yeah. Are they siblings? Their cousins? The AI doesn't know. Yeah. Yeah, it's like, wait, they're twins? Also, like, I don't trust the look of the girl behind the other one. Yeah, she looks like she's a gun.

Almost. Yeah. She's like, I'm gonna fucking get your ass. She's like, she looks like she's a gun. Almost. She's like, she's got a gun. Half of the characters in AI are a gun. Right. Secretly. Secretly are a gun. And she opens her mouth. The other girl's dead.

Wait. Okay. Oh, this poor guy. So Santa is giant and driving the truck? Look at that thumb. Wow, he has like an infant's thumb. This looks like a baby's hand. That's a baby hand, y'all.

I'm sorry, Santa, what's going on? Oh, there's a spirit trapped in that man. Boom. Did you see this thing? I think there was the fine print right there. It said like this ad was fucking, yeah, created by real magic AI, like in the lower corner. Oh my God. I don't know. It's also upsetting that we're having to look at this.

And this is the way we're doing. The integrity of AI, of Coca-Cola commercials. You used to be somebody, Coca-Cola. Yeah. Yeah, where's your integrity, legacy company? That was genuinely upsetting to look at. I am curious. I mean, I don't know. Like, it's already taken half of my jobs,

but I am like, it's so, it still looks bad. I wonder if it's just going to look bad forever because it does feel like there is a very human part of you that can, it's just like the uncanny valley forever. And I'm like, I don't have faith, and I kind of hope that they can never exit that space. Right. That's the scariest thing of all. If they can get out of the uncanny valley. When you think about like where we started with the Will Smith spaghetti eating videos,

you know, and where we're at now, it's definitely on an upward trajectory. You know, it's still yeah, it's true. And it's like, I'm sure that half of our tax money will go into developing more of it, which is going to be amazing. You also think about too, like how many people breathlessly share this shit, like without realizing it and you're like, does it need to get, I mean, it's already got a ton of people just being like, yeah, yeah, yeah, man, look at Santa's baby hand, man. I remember that. That was real.

Nostalgic, nostalgic sleigh. Santa has a baby hand now. Sharing it with the eyes emoji, looking to the side eyes emoji. I feel like the worst people I know are always sharing stuff with me like that with the eyes emoji. Check out. This is a cool marketing opportunity. You could have just said that directly to me, man. I sometimes think it's an elegant way to just be without using words, be like, you see this? That's how I mean it when I post it. I like sending the single eyeball, but it does make you seem like conspiratorial. It's very Illuminati coded. Right, right, right. To send a single eyeball.

They're like, yeah, have you seen the latest fucking Coca-Cola ad? Yeah. Matter of fact, I have. And it's cool. There it is. There it is. Ooh. Well, Jamie Loftus, what a pleasure having you back on the Daily Zeitgeist.

Always happy to be here. Yeah. Yeah. Where can people find you, follow you, hear you, all that good stuff? You can check out my new podcast. Well, it's six months old now. It's new. But still new, still new. Newest of the podcast.

Yeah. 16th Minute of Fame. Maybe you've heard Miles Gray's very voice on this very podcast. What? Playing the part of Takeru Kobayashi. Yeah. 16th minute of fame. Maybe you've heard Miles Gray's very voice on this very podcast, playing the part of Takeru Kobayashi. Yeah. Yeah. Extremely well, I might add. I almost did my Ninja Warrior voice.

I remember telling you and Sophie when you're like, you want to do a voice? I'm like, I used to do really problematic Japanese accents for voiceover on American Ninja Warrior. I'm like- And Sophie was like, do that, do that. Yeah. Go for it. I fired up like- And Sophie was like, do that, do that, yeah. Go for it.

I fired up the mic and I was like, nah, not for this class, not for this class. Not today, this is a classy party. Yeah, that's the same way like that old man in the Coca-Cola video thought about his suit of armor. I'm like, no. I heard, I got a message yesterday saying that the current Nathan's hot dog eating champion,

a guy named Patrick Bertoletti, longtime competitor, he commented on that post and said, he really enjoyed the episode. Oh, Nathan's contest approved from our boy Patrick. And yeah, this week we released just today, we released an episode about the gorilla glue glue scandal of 2021, Tessica Brown. And I have an interview with her, she's very lovely. So check out the show. It's if you have a main character,

we've probably covered it or will. And even if you don't know the original meme, it's fascinating and engrossing and you will learn to care about these people. Yeah. You'll learn to care about curvy wife guy, I swear. You will. Amazingly, you will. Let him cook.

Let him cook. Be like, maybe this guy should have his own podcast. This guy wrote a song called Big Girl Banger. Surely nothing wrong there. Anyways. Is there a work of media you've been enjoying? Yes. Last night, I went to a reading from someone I've been a fan of for a long time, a poet

named Summer Farah. And I saw her do a reading last night as a part of this monthly series in LA organized by the Writers Against the War on Gaza.
