Hello, the internet, and welcome to Season 55, Episode 5 of Der Daily Zeitgeist! The podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared conscious and unconscious using the headlines, box office reports, TV ratings, what's trending on Google and social media. It's Friday, November 2nd, 2018. My name's Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. November 2nd, 2018. My name's Jack O'Brien, a.k.a.

Oh, my little pretty one, pretty one. When you gonna give me some Jack O'Brien? Hashtag the knack. That is courtesy of Dragonzorddown1 on Twitter. And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray! If Proud Boys and the Cucks all got along, they'd probably gun me down by the end of this pod. Seems like the whole Zyke gang hates me hosting.

Every time I'm in this seat, I hear Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack. It was Jack instead of Yock. Anyway, I don't think people hate me hosting, but anyway, that was from Kroll Jojana. I think I'm pronouncing that name right. So, you know, always love a good Mad City, a.k.a. We are thrilled to have in our third seat the hilarious stand-up comedian,

member of Mount Zeitmore, Mr. Billy Wayne Davis! Hey, everybody! I like that. That was a good one. It felt good. It felt good. Or Jack! Jack! And put it in at the end? Yeah. How you doing, man? I'm doing good. Especially when you go, yack! Or jack! Jack! That way, and put it in at the end.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Man, I'm doing good. I mean, considering. You know what I mean? Yeah.

Yeah, you do have one leg. What happened? Well, that's, I just never wore shorts before. Oh, wow. I always thought you walked with a little swag. The things they do with prostheses these days.

Prosthetic. Everything okay? I don't even know what happened to it. The things they do with prostheses these days. Prosthetic. Everything okay? I don't even know what happened to it. I still don't know. One night I was like, uh-oh. Oh, man. We gotta get that fixed. Gotta quit drinking.

We gotta get that fixed. All right, we're gonna get to know you a little bit better, but first, we're gonna take our listeners through what we're talking about today. We're gonna talk about the Red Sox fans just fucking up the World Series trophy. We're going to talk about some Halloween costumes that are trending on Google right now. Yeah, people just checking in. They're getting their leg up. Yeah, there you go.

We're going to talk about Oprah versus Pence, the showdown for the ages happening currently in Georgia. We're going to talk about Jacob Wohl and Jack Berkman's press conference. Yeah. We're going to talk about the Republicans' general mood right now, their plan of attack, which seems to be just naked fear-mongering. We're going to talk about Steve King. We're going to talk about the massive walkout at Google,

and we're going to talk about Sabra just going in for that avocado toast game trying to apparently hummus not as profitable as we all thought but first Billy Wayne we like to ask our guests what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are oh I had to search how much people charged to tile. Charge to do tile work? Yeah, okay. Yeah. Okay.

Because I was like, I can do it. And? And then I was like, I don't think I can do this. Now. It's not as bad as you think. What are you working on? It's just that we have like a little back area we're trying to fix. Okay.

So it's more like home ownership rather than luxury where it's like, hey, if we don't fix this, this is going to be more expensive. Right, right, if we don't fix this, this is gonna be more expensive. Right, right, right. I was like, I'll do it. And I was like, I can't, I'm gonna fuck it up even more. Now, are you Googling how much people charge with the theory that the more they charge, the harder it's going to be to do it yourself?

Or are you just looking because you had already given up at that point? Probably, if I'm being honest, I had given up. Right. If I'm Googling how much. Because I looked it up and I was like, I think I can do this. And then you look at stuff and you're like, I don't know. Yeah.

All those YouTube videos. It's dudes that have been doing it for 20 years. So they're like, yeah, you slap this thing down. You throw this in. You're like, mm-hmm. Then you're doing like, I don't know what that thing he said was. Right. It's like Tim Wakefield makes those off-speed pitches look so easy.

Exactly. Man, I can throw it 50. Exactly. How does he make it dance where he wants to? Right. Yeah, I do wonder, though, if electricians get to charge just 10 times as much as plumbers because if you fuck up plumbing, you't die whereas right no electricians well you know it's like it's it's a trade you know so you gotta make you gotta make your wage it's just some

things i think there's a lot more guilt involved with being an electrician though because you're like you know hey all right all right i need to fix this okay i know they can't afford it but they're gonna die if i don't fix it right i can, right, right. That's the only reason. I can't look at this and be like, this is a fire in about 40 hours. Yeah, I should charge them and they can't pay, but I'm gonna have to do it, because they're gonna die. Right. So, and a plumber's like,

they'll call me back, he, he, he. Just a little shit won't hurt anybody. Yeah, exactly. What is something you think is overrated? Dirty politics. Dirty politics. I just, well, okay. I'm a fan, you tell me why I'm wrong.

Because, well, okay. That's a good point because it does work. And I think that's why it's overrated because it does work if everyone chooses to be involved. Right. And then the person that's truly immoral is going to win because you can't beat someone that's immoral in their game. Yeah. So, and that's truly immoral is going to win because you can't beat someone that's immoral in their game. Yeah. And that's why I think this election is interesting because people are going above instead of back down.

Going above what? Like ramping it up, you mean? No, I think that one side is going real, real dirty and the other side isn't, and I think that's why it's interesting. Oh, yeah. Well, yeah, I mean, at this point, it's so odd to compare the kinds of ads you see like one's like they're gonna take away your health care okay and eliminate protections for people

with pre-existing conditions the other one's like the fucking browns are gonna stab you i mean that yeah i was just in the midwest like last week and shout out to all the zeitgang people that come out it's really great every show there's always like at least two or three people that are like Zach Gang yeah there you are hell yeah

a lot of people getting into heaven a lot of people getting into heaven yeah paying that money so it's good and if you don't

I told you guys come back after you die if you don't get in come see me get a refund I'll just keep your mind up what were you seeing out there

in terms of ads the ads were like I was in Kansas and Missouri I got used to them you know I was there for like it's eight days throughout both those states what were you seeing out there in terms of ads the ads were like i was in kansas and missouri i got used to them you know i was there for like it's eight days throughout both those states but the first day it was like is this a sketch it was like hey the liberals they want to kill your family right and you're just like i don't think you can even say that no they do they do. They do. We can.

It's like that robot thing with Sam Watterson. It's like the robots come to eat your medicine. That SNL sketch? Yes. It's like a modern version of that. Hey, the liberals are going to come eat your medicine with the brown people. And you're like, no, that's not even how anything works. Yeah. Fuck in your lake house anything works yeah your lake house

fucking your lake house that is literally what a person Minnesota believe they're gonna give birth in your lake house to an ms-13 right birthright citizenship future murderer who's will then beat join Isis I mean how do you communicate with someone that's that says that out that's like I've been saying this around the country too. It's like, that's like with Pence going like, now you can electrically shock the gay out of people. We're like, well, we're done talking because I don't know how to communicate with you as a human being

because the things you say aren't. Yeah, that statement, I just saw you leave Earth. Yes. God. But it's like there have been successful movements that didn't engage in mudslinging. Like I know one guy who did really well that didn't engage in mudslinging. His name is Jesus. Christ.

Yeah. Thank you. I knew we were both on the same page. That's not true either. You think he talked a lot of shit? He walked into the temple and just started fucking shit up. Flipping those tables of the money changers. But he was like eight when he did that, right?

I mean, yeah, his age is all over the place. And there's some gaps in that biography, too, where we don't know what he was doing. I think he was in Afghanistan. Being radicalized. No, not being, just in the Kush region of Afghanistan. And then he wandered back into the Middle East, and he's like, oh, damn it, y'all remembered me, huh?

What is something you think is underrated? Underrated, I think hydration is underrated. Okay. Because I just had a, you know what? Modern dentistry is underrated. Okay, I like that bit. All right. Because I recently cracked a back tooth,

and then it gets, stuff happens after the pain, and then it gets worse, and I got, so for a couple days I was just like, I'm going to smoke weed through this, because I'm an idiot. Right, yeah, smoking's not good if you have an oral wound. Just every decision I made for three. Right, right.

Because also, because it's in your, you can feel it in your brain. When you get like a tooth thing up there, you're just like, well, I can't, I'm not a human for, it'll stop. And then I had this thought, I have vice grips in my wood shop. I can just, I'll just pull it out because that'll stop it. And then that's when I was like, oh, I have insurance. I could just go to the dentist and just have that guy do it instead of me. But that was the thought I had to motivate me to get to go to the dentist.

And then it was just boom, boom, over. It was great. And I was like, oh, thanks, guys. Yeah, your Civil War battlefield triage techniques. You're like, you know what? Dead wood bullshit. Yeah, right. Just, yeah.

You're like, well, I do have this laudanum here. This is getting worse than i thought if i could just i'll just stop it right now and i won't have to get in the car right i think a lot of the horror movie stuff that people have because of uh dentists is probably from old timey dentists they're pretty good at it now well i think yeah that can be fucked up that horror has basically been transmitted from generation to generation where we're like, oh, my God. I don't know what's going to – and, like, now the tools are so –

They're not fancy. Don't play like they're, like, it's a laser in there and you don't feel anything. Well, it depends on the procedure. If you need an extraction – Hey, that's my brain. You just pulled that from my brain hole. If you have a full-on extraction, I mean, there's no other way to do that except rip the motherfucker out.

And they were worried because I started laughing when they do that because it is funny because it is like, well, that's just in my head. You just pulled that out of my head. And you can hear it, too. It resonates in your skull. But it felt so good as soon as they ripped it out. I was like, well, I'm good. Get out of my way.

There's no way to clean stuff up. And then they gave me heroin. And I was like, oh, do I have to take this? And they're like, no way to clean stuff up. I'm like, no. Yeah, and then they gave me heroin. Yes. And I was like, oh, I don't, do I have to take this? They're like, no, if the ibuprofen works. Yeah. Right. But here's a spoon. But there was 12 whatever opioids.

Oh, like Oxycontin or something? It wasn't that, but it was. Dilaudid? Vicodin? Nope. Norco? Nope. Percocet?

Nope. It was a hydro something. Hydrocodone? That was it. Oh, that's just generic Vicodin. Yeah. Okay, well. Youercocet? Nope. It was a hydro something. Hydrocodone? That was it. Oh, that's just generic Vicodin. Okay. Well, you still got some? I have a bunch of them.

I don't have some because it said opioid on it. What are they stamped with? I don't know. All right, we'll talk later. It's good that they only gave you 12, though, because when I got my fucking wisdom teeth out, they gave me like three refills on like a 50 pill thing, and they were like, man, just have a time. No! three refills on like a 50 pill thing. And they were like, man, just have a time. No.

I had my wisdom teeth removed when I was 16. And it was, they gave me the, a fucking amount of prescription of Vicodin. That's not. And I was so stoked because I remember. I still have some of the ibuprofen left. I just remember Vicodin from being on that Eminem CD, that first Eminem CD, like the depiction of it. And I was like, yo, I think I have Vicodin

from the m&m cd ah so m&m really is ruining the use yeah he is true what she says but i don't buy dvd porn like him anymore does he still do that there was an interview where he was like perplexed at the idea that people could just watch porn on the internet and he's like what do you mean you have dvds and they're like but the internet and he's like huh oh man you mean you have DVDs? And they're like, but the internet. And he's like, huh? Oh, man. Here's the first sign that my dentist should not have given me that many pills is when I woke up from dental surgery and they were like, how are you feeling? I was like, could I get more of those drugs? Whoa.

And they were like, oh, you're not going to remember this. But here. And I didn't. But that's what they told me. I said when I woke up. So cool. Yeah. Yeah.

Because you're smart. Right. I like that part I said when I woke up. Cool. Yeah. Yeah, because you're smart. Right. I like that part where they didn't feel anything. Like put that fucking mask on, person. Yeah, let's do this. What is a myth, finally? What is something people think is true you know to be false? That you need heroin when you get your tooth pulled.

I think that's probably a myth. You just did ibuprofen? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, and okay, and I talked about this too. I was an athlete growing up, so I understand what being sore feels like. So that's not too much for me. Yeah.

And I also understand the concept that, like we were saying, something was just ripped out of my skull. Yeah. So there was going to be some sore stuff when the pain thing went away. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And, yeah, it was fine. Yeah. I mean, I do think for certain acute pain,

like, especially recovering from surgery, like, my dad just had both of his hips replaced. That's not what I'm talking about. I know, yeah, yeah, exactly. But, like, just so people who are recovering from surgery aren't like, well, gotta be tough for Billy Wayne. Well, also, no, yeah, don't. Yeah, there's also, if you're getting new parts,

you should probably do what the doctor says. But he was trying to tough that shit out, and it's just like, come on, man. My grandpa did that. Yeah. He's like, just get me my hickory stick to tear it out on. That's when I found out how much of a businessman my grandfather was before he passed.

I found out he had his knee replaced and he did it himself almost but he he just took the tylenol because he read about the opioids and he's like no i ain't messing with that and i was like how many do you have left he's like i don't know there's like 90 in the safe and it was like me my dad my grandpa with his hardies and i and my grandpa was like how much can you get and i was like me my dad my grandpa with his hardies and i and my grandpa was like how much can you get and i was like i don't know that's a lot we can get a lot of money and my dad just goes fellas fellas no no we're not doing it he knows both of you well enough to know that that conversation was headed yeah neither of us gonna use it but we're like, that's worth a lot of money. Some bizarre Tarantino scene.

All right, guys, let's talk about Red Sox fans. Yeah. Ruining the Red Sox for baseball fans. I mean, you know, I'm a Dodger fan, so I, you know, glad the Sox won, pal. But, you know, the victory parade was pretty litty. It was Boston. They were throwing fucking Bud Lights at the trucks or at at the open-air bus, or the duck boats. Right. And some people were getting hit.

A woman, like, one of the beers sailed over the boat and hit someone on the other side of the street and, like, burst this woman's nose open. Yeah, of course it did. And they call, it's Wednesday, motherfucker. The paramedics were like, I think you should actually go to the hospital, like, because you're going to need sutures for this.

But the best moment came when some fan hit the World Series trophy with a full-on unopened Bud Light. And like, you know how the... Broke it. Yeah, I mean, definitely bent it back because, you know, the statue is, or the trophy is all the flags or whatever. Just sort of really thin. Yeah, it's kind of not sturdy. It's very fragile, yeah. It's not like the World Cup trophy, which is like a golden cudgel or something yeah or just that

silver thing for the nfl yeah that's more of a weapon right anything yeah but this is like a very fancy thing and yo this can just bends back i mean we were looking at it it's kind of i love watching they're like i remember they should just make that the socks pennant from that year. Just the bent. With a Bud Light. Yeah, it was just Bud Light sponsored. Now, I was wondering, because this is the second time that I've seen Bud Light just forced into victory things. There was also that kind of smart marketing move they did where they were like, the next time the Cleveland Browns win, we're going to open the fridges and people are going to get to drink Bud Light.

That's so smart. People are talking about it. Yeah, because that's all they got. But then people are now like, I keep hearing people say Dilly Dilly. Like that's like the new unfunny. Have you heard somebody use Dilly Dilly in a serious way? I haven't heard it. I saw it in the airport when I was in St. Louis. So that's fair.

Makes sense, yeah. But I saw it in the airport and it did make me it made me angry yeah i got concerns i was like i don't think we share the same political views like dilly dilly yeah but yeah it was a little bit of schadenfreude to watch the uh the trophy get damaged if you also want to see bayern munich when they won their league like a few years ago they straight up dropped their trophy off the open air bus and it crashed onto the street. Another satisfying trophy destruction video.

At least there it was the people who actually won the trophy, right? Yeah, yeah. Rather than a fan. A fucking fan just throwing a... Hey, we won! But it's weird. Nearly all the beers I saw were Bud Lights. You just kept seeing those blue Bud Light cans flying in.

Is Bud Light just, like, giving them out? I think they're probably just giving them away. They can't do that legally, though. Is it, like, the new Red Bull? Like, the way Red Bull just used to, like, give it to you? You could do that, but you can't just hand out alcohol on the street like that. I wouldn't think so, but it is Boston. You can do anything you want until they tell you to stop.

Yeah, I guess you just pay a couple college. On 9-11, this bar from Nashville came up and gave us a bunch of beers at our house in college. Really? And they're like, hey, yeah, crazy what happens next time you're in Nashville, come here. Here's two 12-packs of beers. And we're like, yeah!

9-11! 9-11 party! I'll never forget this generosity. This is my inside job. Jesus. All right. Still trending on Google. Yesterday was some different Halloween costumes.

Some famous people rocking their Halloween costumes, basically flaunting their wealth. Like Heidi Klum was rocking a Shrek costume. It do every that was bonkers it was like better than the live-action Shrek outfit yeah I'm prosthetics yeah movie makeup the mom doesn't like how do you claim and it makes me laugh your mom doesn't like yeah she does not like her like and my mom's like a sweet person and she's not that judgy you know yeah for her to does not like her. And my mom's like a sweet person, and she's not that judgy, you know? But for her to be so, like, anti-Heidi Klum.

And it's so specific. It is very specific. What's her beef with Heidi? She can't really explain it either, but she gets worked up. She's like, I just don't like her. I don't trust her. I don't like her. And me and my dad are like, what does that even mean?

I don't trust her. She seems nice. And she's like, she's not nice. She's just acting that way. We're like, all right. Oh, wow. She seems nice And she's like She's not nice She's just acting that way We're like Oh wow And I don't know If they've ever met Or she did something

To my mom But it is It makes me laugh Heidi must remind your mother Of someone she knew And it makes me laugh Every time I see Heidi Klum Because I'm like

Man my mom does not like you That is very funny You should send her That Halloween pic In a text thread I want to see how that plays out Hey mom You see Heidi's Halloween costume

I don't see. No. Not for me. You can lose my number right now. The best not try hard costume I saw was Olivia Munn as Ali Wong, the baby cobra cover. It was very well done. She pulled it off.

When I was giving out candy, my neighborhood gets just like, has like 10 people like deep at every uh doorstep when like things are really moving but it was crazy it was like the same five costumes over and over which was i don't know it made me believe in the zeitgeist we're all connected we're all we're all thinking the same shit we're all same kids exchanging oh it was the same ten people

just in a going in a circuit they were just exchanging costumes yeah he thinks we're different people just change one you beat Iron Man

this time but at all my son's like Halloween parties and stuff it was all there's a lot of Belle from

Beauty and the Beast live action Beauty and the Beast, live action Beauty and the Beast, which Disney really just has its hooks. Right. Because I saw like two-year-old girls rocking like Belle costumes. There was a girl at the end of the night

who came up in a Belle costume with a giant taco and said she was Taco Bell. So she won as far as that costume went. What did she win? You just went, I respect you now. Get the fuck off my went. What did she win? You just win. I respect you now. Get the fuck off my property.

You can have two tiny pieces of candy. You win. No, go. There's randomly a lot of flamenco and firemen, which would lead me to believe that it's not. The other ones made sense. I didn't think it made sense that there were screen masks everywhere, but apparently that's an MTV show.

Could it be just regional retail shopping limited options but everybody's buying that shit online aren't they or it could just be like hey hey great deal on screen masks this district right here yeah like this and they all do like that yeah could be fucking bezos somebody needs to explain to me why one of the like most popular customs i saw was SWAT team. Because I was Googling, like, oh, they must have remade the movie SWAT. Right. Or they must have, like, I looked up Scream Mask, and I was like, oh, because-

Remade the Colin Farrell SWAT. Yeah, the movie SWAT. Thank God. I don't mind that movie. It's a classic. I'll give you $14 million. Isn't that what the guy screams out to get broken out of the jail or whatever? Yeah.

Yes. Yo, they had pretty good heists when they bust him out of jail on that scene. I've got to give it to them. I'm just saying for a basic action movie, it's not bad. I mean, maybe that is what people are thinking. Maybe everybody's just secretly fully on board with the Colin Farrell classic SWAT. Or we're just so used to images of mass shootings or protests. Well, that's what I was wondering.

Militarized police state. That makes more sense than the Colin Farrell angle. I don't know. I'm just, what the fuck do I know? I mean, there's SWATing going on, so maybe that's like SWAT. You'd hope that some seven-year-old kid isn't like, I'm dressed like this because what I like to do is call a fake hostage situation to someone I hate. Or if it's like a mythical figure that like hangs over your head if you're a gamer, you're just like, I'm the boogeyman of gaming. I'm a SWAT person.

I don't know. I don't know. We'll see. Coming from the guy who doesn't game that much or at all. At all. All right. I like that that's what you imagined. It's like, oh, man, I don't know.

I'm playing my game. I'm going to get swatted any moment. Yeah. Gamers are like pot users. It's just every walk of life from what I can understand. Yeah. Or me, gaming and pot using. Yeah, usually.

It does go together real good. Oh, yeah. Sitting on a couch and vibing out. But it's like, yeah, when I think about like, oh, I wonder what my son's going to be like in college or anything. And you're like, I just hope he's a pothead. It's way better than being a drunk. You know what I mean?

It's like I don't have to worry as much. Much less damage. A lot of sitting. Yeah, or ping pong. Yeah, or art. He might be a trippy guitar player. He is a good artist. Speaking of video games,

I read somewhere that your horse's balls shrivel in Red Dead Redemption if you go into a cold water. Yes, the testicles do contract. And yes, we will talk about the Rockstar business practices of developing that game. I don't want y'all to think that I overlooked that nonsense over there. Yeah, that business model is fuck everybody. Yeah, give me all your fucking time. We need this game done.

I don't care if you're a human. We're going to make this money. Y'all ain't. I think they made like $750 million over the first weekend. It's wild. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist

The only difference between the person who doesn't get the job and the person who gets the job is usually who applies. Yeah, I think a lot about that quote.

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves,

the Biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? I mean, the Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. They lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies.

When civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And there's a showdown taking place in Georgia. And we're not just talking about the election happening right now because as you guys discussed yesterday,

the Democrats sent in their big guns and Oprah showed up to kind of shout out Stacey Abrams. A lot of people, yeah. Will Ferrell even showed up over the weekend and went door to door. You know, there's a lot of people who support her candidacy and trying to do whatever they can to contribute uh so you know if if stacy abrams can dig up will ferrell and oprah they're only doing that because they care about people it's so clear why they're doing that

well you know it's so cynical like human beings like get it. It's so clear why you're doing that. Well, you know, the GOP had their answer, too, and they activated agent Mike Pence. Deal with this, Oprah. And he went down there and, you know, had to pull up on him and just let people know, you know, Mike Pence has nothing to be fucked with either. I mean, listen to the energy this man brings and just, oh, my God, if you were a Democrat, I would be shaking right now. I'd like to remind Stacey and brings and just, oh, my God, if you were a Democrat, I would be shaking right now. I'd like to remind Stacey and Oprah and Will Ferrell.

I'm kind of a big deal, too. And I got a message. I got a message for all Stacey Abrams, liberal Hollywood friends. This ain't Hollywood. This is Georgia. This is Sparta. I Hollywood. This is Georgia. This is Sparta. I mean, this is Georgia. Hi, y'all.

He's playing that affect up a little bit, huh? I mean, it can't feel good to look at me like, that's our guy? Right. I mean, even if you're that machismo kind of like, we're the strongest. You're like, this is not the strongest right like even i can see where you could be like i could see where you could confuse trump with someone who's strong it's kind of like barely yeah he just refuses to respond to stuff and dum-dums like that yeah but pence like even his you don't think a guy's tone is like weak right right well he did affect a southern accent there to make him sound down. He's got a little twang.

He's got a little swing. I mean, all politicians are guilty of that no matter where they go. I mean, Obama was a master at that, too. People talk to me and affect a southern accent in conversation and don't realize they're doing it. Oh, wow. I get it because it is fun. I get it. But they're just doing it that aggressively?

Like, hey, Billy, why are you going out? It's not even that much. It's just slowly, and you'll just hear them say, yeah. And you're just like, their vows get a little longer, and you're like, I get it. It's fine. It's fine. There is sort of a...

But he missed the joke, too. Can we talk about Pence missing the... I'm kind of a big deal, too. Yeah, it was like, you missed the dummy'm kind of a big deal too yeah it was like you missed the dummy that's a good written joke like whoever gave that to him and i'm sure they were sitting off to the side and you're like oh come on dude wait how did he miss the joke just his timing was off right his timing was off it just sounded like he was just saying that as a thing and then later you're like oh that's from his thing too yeah you'd think he would have uh focused on farrell if he knew the reference yeah he was making yeah instead he what's funny in the threw it out there the background when he mentioned both

oprah wolf errol's name you hear someone go losers then they truly are they're just the big losers both of them they're like really ricky bob Bobby's your favorite fucking movie, homie. Fall back. With the how to down, and you don't know he's making fun of you. Yeah. And you know that it pains you to call Will Ferrell the loser. Well, let's watch or listen to how Oprah is dealing with getting fucking owned. Yeah, because she, you know, we talked yesterday, we're like, she's going door to door. Yeah.

And what that would be like. Yeah. And the power of Oprah over people. Can I get a car? I mean, so you just listen. If Mike Pence goes, I'm a pretty big deal, and people are like, yeah. Woo. This is what happens.

No, I just need you to vote. Aw, honey. Oprah's here. This is what happens when Oprah is at the other side. So she walks up, knocks on her door. She's home. Acts like she gives a shit if the person's home

Surprise. I am shocked. Surprise. So I'm canvassing for Stacey. So they said I should do this. She kind of flubbed on saying, I'm Stacey Abrams. But then she's like, are you voting? The woman could not get herself together when she was asked, like, are you voting?

She's like, yeah, absolutely. I'm a felon. I'm a felon. I wish you wouldn't have picked my house. This is terribly embarrassing. I did a lot of. I'm a felon. I wish you wouldn't have picked my house. This is terribly embarrassing. I did a lot of bad stuff in my 20s. But it's funny to see just the reaction of a human being pond seeing Oprah. Right. Versus Mike Pence, which is probably just like, who the fuck's that guy?

Well, I mean. Jumped back. Well, it's. Oprah. I compare it like, it would be like when I saw it turned on Conan, because that's the first time you see him is like after your set. He's like right there. Because it is like to see somebody that close that you've watched on TV.

Yeah, yeah. That you just turn and you're like, okay. That's weird. That's weird. That's a real thing right there. All right, I'll play your game. Yeah, where it's just like just for a, you're like, I can't even. Okay.

That's an amazing special effect. Yes. 3D and shit. It looks so real. Like, hi, I'm Conan. Yes, yeah. I'm sure he handles that well, because he probably saw it in my eyes. He's probably just calmed down.

I know, it's weird, right? But I'm a human man. And you're like, but you're not. Yeah. Conan, man. But if Oprah was at your front door, just period i'm a human man and you're like but you're not yeah conan man with that but if oprah was at your front door just period you open the door and like what is this bullshit oh oprah hey yeah i would probably like do a spit take if i open the door i'm like i would laugh i think my first reaction like oprah what are you doing here just shut the door and you're like oh joe was witness Oh, Jehovah's Witness. All right, let's talk about the bombshell that was dropped by Jacob Wool and Jack Berkman.

Oh, my God. Can I just preface this with saying I didn't know what you guys were talking about. Nor should you. And that made me happy. Oh, good. Good. Do you know what I mean? I mean, it's a small, fun, relevant story.

Yes. No, I understand. And I looked it up afterwards. But it did make me happy. I'm like, oh, it's good that it fun, relevant story. Yes. No, I understand. And I looked it up afterwards. But it did make me happy. I'm like, oh, it's good that it's not as far out as I was afraid it was. When I realized I hadn't heard about it. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Where it was like, if I hadn't heard about it, that means it's good. Okay, good. Well, we knew. So, to recap. To recap, right? On Daily Zeitgeist. Yes, on Daily Zeitgeist. Yesterday on Daily Zeitgeist, we talked about how MAGA Twitter celeb Jacob Wohl and GOP huckster, trickster, conspiracy theory spreader Jack Berkman, they teamed up for one of the

most painfully transparent, obvious fraud schemes to try and smear Robert Mueller for sexual assault, where they were offering women money to sign a sworn affidavit that he had either tried to rape them or assaulted them in some way. And, you know, right when Jacob... How much money? It depends. Like, I don't know, 20 grand. Like, one woman said

her credit card debt would get paid off or something. It would be funny for me to be like, go up there and be like, how much? 20? And just, like, do it there and be like, how much? It's funny. And just like do it on camera the whole time. Yeah. Yeah. And you know Robert Mueller? Yeah, I think so. He did some sex

stuff to me. Sure did. You probably would have been their next best option. But once they figured out, you know, like a lot of journalists figured out what was going on and kind of blew up their spot and including like the special counsel's office being like we've referred this to the fbi oh shit yeah so that began backpedal fest 3018 because the way these guys

have had to be just dancing and trying to change their tune has been kind of fucking hilarious i mean so first you know yesterday we said that on Thursday they were having this press conference to bring out the woman who was their victim that they did not manufacture, that they did not produce out of thin air. So then we find out that maybe this person either doesn't exist or realized that they might be caught up in a like a felonious fraud scheme to attack robert muller and didn't show up so on the day both berkman and jacob wool they're just saying

like hey look you know we we said you know she she arrived in dc uh but then boarded a flight to another location because she feared for her life and jacob wool you know he posted receipts he took a selfie with some female form with the face crossed out just to prove that that is the person. Hey, strange lady, can I get a selfie with you for a scavenger hunt? Sure. No, pretty much. Yeah. But this is pretty much like this is par for the course, especially for Berkman, who has done this sort of thing before where he says he's got a witness to some kind of insane crime.

And then they're a no show. where he says he's got a witness to some kind of insane crime, and then they're a no-show. He did the same thing with the death of that DNC staffer, Seth Rich, who they were trying to say Hillary Clinton was behind. Here's the best part. This is the little boy that cried wolf, is what this is. And now somebody that's going to tell the truth is going to go to these people and be like, hey, this really happened to me.

And they're going to be like, hey. And everybody's going to be like, go away, Jacob. Right. Yeah. And he's like but but no this time it's an a it's a real alien go away little boy yeah he's also like the youngest person to be charged like securities frauds things anyway uh but so you know he did the same thing with seth rich said there was going to be a witness then when it came to to throw down the person just

did not show up and he was like oh well the, well, the guy, you know, the guy exists. And then prior to all of this kind of coming to light, you know, Wohl denied that he had anything about this intelligence firm Surefire. Right. And he was like, you know, I don't, I have nothing to do with this thing. It's, this is, I don't know why you think that even though my photo is on the website and my email address is registered to this domain and my mother's phone number is connected to this business well then he had to backtrack on that and basically said oh well i had to actually um i had to deny that because i was having to protect

my anonymity as we put this really this huge case together that's why i was saying that and then once we got to the press conference, we were really curious what this was going to sound like. It couldn't have been a bigger fucking disaster because at this point, all the press were there basically to be like, these are the two bumbling idiots whose plan was just sort of brought to light for everyone to see, yet they're still going to try and come up here and act like something's really happening.

Hey, everybody. Thanks for coming. So? So. No, it was a very, very interesting press conference. Oh, but I should mention that before the press conference, they did do this interview with Gateway Pundit, which is the website that loves to spread pro-Trump conspiracy theories

of all varieties. It sounds legit. Yes. Where they were basically, you know, saying that, I don't know, Jacob Bull had this very interesting setup for why he believes that this woman who told them about Robert Mueller's behavior

that he felt she was credible because of a certain stance that he has. I'm the biggest skeptic in the world of the Me Too movement. My default position is not to believe the women. That's just a smart position. That's a solid. That's just a smart position.

That's just a smart, well-crafted, thought-out words. In his mind, though, if that's the setup, then that means when he goes, and because of that, I found this woman very credible. So she has to be very credible because – Oh, that's a weird way to say all that. I'm a huge skeptic of women in general. Right. So she has to be very credible because... Oh, that's a weird way to say all that. Yeah, that was the setup. I'm a huge skeptic of women in general. Right.

Like, just, you know when they talk, lies happen. Right. But this one, that I can't produce, I believe. Right. Right. She's very credible. Her character is unimpeachable. And, like, the description of her is, like, she's a well-respected fashion designer.

Also, I would like to say that if any woman, liberal or conservative, will love me, I'll go either way. Just one woman. She's a well-respected fashion designer really comes across as, like, my girlfriend lives in Canada type shit. 100%. Weird science. Right. And keeps pushing the buttons, but she won't come out. Right.

hundred percent weird science and he keeps pushing the buttons but she won't come out right so yeah then i said the press conference like it was just a fucking joke of itself in which they both stood up there jacob wool was like tweeting like oh antifa is here and it was just some dude who had like a car with like a trump dinosaur blow up like like in the parking lot and then he's like they're bussing people in and he just took a photo of a bus that was across the street but there were no people like coming out of it or anything to do with antifa but that's how jacob wool was trying to spin this whole event and then inside the event was just so hilarious so he was in there like people from the gateway pundit were even grilling him hard as shit about this stuff when they were in there because they realized how bad this looks for them uh and there were all kinds of things happening from him complaining that people on twitter were photoshopping

his face onto a corn cob like he brought that up like and like i mean they make they did that with corn i'm they're trying to make me look bad when they asked about that on the press conference he was complaining yeah that people were making memes of him with like photoshop and him on a corn cob he complained that people were calling his relatives and his mom and his little sister. And that was based on the fact that people called to fact check the number on the made up

surefire intelligence thing that he did. So he's like, you called my house? It's like, because you fucking registered. That's the number you put there, asshole. What do you mean? And then Jack Berkman was like, you called 11-year-old girls nice, really bad. Do you think it's just one of, like, we said some stuff, and then we kept saying it, and now we have to do a press conference, and people showed up.

Yeah. Yo, people showed the fuck up. Do you think they'll do it again? Or do you think it's- I don't know. I mean, I'm sure- Because if they try it again, it feels like mental illness. I'm sure once the FBI pulls up on them, like, they just know the FBI is investigating them.

I'm sure... I don't know if someone is actually, like, some G-man has pulled up and been like, yeah, we need to talk. If that... That will probably get them to abandon the story. But you never know. I think they're... It's very, very desperate times for them.

There was another person in the audience who asked, they're like, on the date of this supposed assault, they said it happened in New York City. And that just, like I said yesterday, it happened to be a day where there's a very easily searchable article about how Robert Mueller had jury duty with a full FBI detail on him on that day in Washington, D.C. And they're like, how?

That's when it happened. He's like, well, that must have leaked or something. And they're like, how? That's when it happened. He's like, well, that must have leaked or something. And they're like, you can just search on the Washington. It's very, you can Google that date with his name and it just shows up. No, you cannot. I don't know. I'm special. And then his explanation was when they said, well, how could this be?

He said, well, you know, sometimes people go to jury duty, but they're also somewhere else. And the whole room actually erupted into laughter at him. And then it turned out that Jack Berkman's fly had been down the whole time. The whole time. And that is not a joke. He just went up in front of people. It is a joke.

It's amazingly a joke. Not even to mention that they couldn't figure out how to spell this victim's name. They're like, I think it's Carolyn or Caroline with an E. Like they couldn't, nothing was. You think Putin watches something like that and he's like, we couldn't train people this well. No. This is amazing. I don't know.

This is pure nonsense. All sort of based out of this shit, like this MAGA worldview of the idea of how sexual assault allegations work on people or how they believe women can eat. Like, this is just a thing. That's the reality in which they operate uh and this whole like the idea of them thinking they really pulled a fast one just like total dunning kruger effect like inaction before our eyes of people thinking they're way more able than they are got you right how you're here right it was like you're saying billy it's like people watching, well,

we say punked or something and just not knowing how to do it. Yeah. It's like seeing all those things, like just watching people do things and feel it, figuring out like, Oh, I could figure out the mechanics of this, but not knowing why you're doing it or for whatever motivation.

And you just do it. And then you get to the end and you're like, huh? Oh, we should have thought it through before we just tried it. Yeah, so they're in some hot water and we'll see what will go on. Idiots. But yeah, the gateway pundits.

These idiots need to get smacked a couple times like judicially. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, to try and meddle in this investigation by like having someone commit fraud for like a pay to lie scheme like come on now well well well what are you gonna i mean right now we're in crazy land yeah that's who he's talking to because even it's just clear right now like even people that were i think were, were pro-Trump, that were moderate to— Severe plexoritis?

Yes, whatever. Exactly. At this point are quietly not pro-Trump anymore. Right. Do you know what I mean? I think that shift's being made. So now that base is shrinking. And they know that.

So now they're speaking to crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy and crazy's loud as fuck usually yeah yeah they're they're small in number but they like just go to certain intersections in la and you're like here they are they're right here the republicans speaking aloud as fuck are now going in a direction of just sort of pulling out all the stops of it seems like they're trying to motivate their voters with just fear, whether that be emphasizing that Maxine Waters is going to take over the nation if the Democrats take the House.

Pelosi is a big one in the ads. Yeah. It's more years of Pelosi. But I think they did some testing and realized that Maxine Waters scares them even more. Much more frightening. Because now it's just all over Drudge Report, payback time.

And she's black! Maxine ready for Gap. It also seems to be just an agreed upon truism that Maxine Waters advocated for literal violence against the right instead of just saying, hey hey stand up you guys stand up to them get in their faces they're like get in their faces meanwhile the right has sent

bombs to former presidents and murdered man maxine 11 jewish people what would be interesting i think i don't know if they're scared because she would become the chair of the committee the house committee on financial services, the banking committee. So she can do a lot from that committee as well. If she's running that agenda, yeah, I would be fucking shook. If you're an evil fuck, yeah, you should be scared of her. Whose money is funny? Yeah.

Yeah. Sorry, mate. So that's sort of the subtle way they're doing it, is Maxine ready for gavel, exclamation point. But Trump, never one for subtlety tweeted out a video a couple of days back in which it's probably the most racist political ad. People are saying it's the most sort of wrongheaded racist political ad since the Willie Horton ad in the George H.W. Bush Dukakis campaign in 88. And it's basically they use footage of a clearly mentally

unwell cop killer who's just totally unrepentant. They probably found the most unrepentant cop killer I've ever seen. And they just say, Democrats, let him in. Democrats, let him stay. the president announced the Pentagon would be sending 15,000 troops. We used to say it was 5,000, but now it's 15,000. And the Pentagon was like, we cannot confirm that number. Yeah, and they just found the most classically evil looking guy too. And they failed to mention like he used an AR-15, which the Republicans don't want you to touch at all. And he's also actually let back in under George Bush's watch. Yeah, but that's not important to the facts of the matter that you should be scared of brands

yeah right there's a bunch of them on the road at one time yeah it's uh i mean yeah it's you know desperate times call for racist measures yeah as they say in the gop but i mean it is going to be like this is as far as i think anyone's pushed it in terms of like oh yeah they should be fucking ashamed of themselves it's dark ads it is so disgusting that if you are a republic you can't look at that and be like yo that's the official video from your party my man yeah yeah like conservative yeah i mean that's not but i don't think like that's what i was trying to say too i think even at even at this point, like, true conservatives are like, this isn't what. Yeah, because you can be conservative and a decent person.

It takes a very special mentality for you to be, like, I mean, like, certain things. I understand there are people who are, like, fiscally conservative and may have some more social conservative bends or whatever, but they still have empathy on a general level. They just have a different idea. Yeah, it's a political theory, and it's not like a theology. Right. Which is what the far right, and this is this, it's fucking white supremacy is what it is. And they're not even hiding it at this point. But that's what the whole plan has been.

Yeah. And I think at this point, even people that are just true conservatives just by their political leaning which is fine which is you know 20 years ago it was just like yo i like smaller government right so just chill and you're like okay well we want better education they're like yeah we'll private educate you know and it was just like that back and forth and now it's like yo brown people are bad right and now you're like well i guess i'm on the left now yeah right because you've really forced my hand on this well because yeah like when you compare the ads like we said one's like

we want a better future for our children we want to fight global warming we want to ensure education and medic like medical care for everyone and. And again, the other points are like, we want to scare the shit out of you with the idea that foreigners are going to come and murder you. And Democrats are using fucking demon witchcraft to win the fucking election. They use pizza to fuck babies in the Guatemalans are coming to fuck your lake houses. I really like, OK, I don't understand. I do think that we honestly could have, because the Republicans' whole strategy up to this point has been screaming the thing that they're doing extremely loud,

I really think we could be in for a literal witch hunt at some point, like after these elections if they go in the Democrats' favor. I just see a lot of Halloween photos. They're like, they're everywhere. Right, and also because they are writing stories. Was it the Daily Caller or whoever wrote the initial story about the Jacob Wohl scam? Gateway Pundit.

Gateway Pundit. They replaced that story with a story about witches. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like that is really out here. Like they're trying to claim that the left is using black magic. Well, I think because the overlap now, so many evangelical right Christians are now coming into the, like that's really a huge chunk of that base.

So they're like, oh, these people fucking hate Satan. So let's give them a healthy dose of Satan. Well, they're fear-based. Their whole life is fear-based. Their whole life is fear-based anyway. So they're easy to control and that's why they're like, yeah, if we can just

keep stoking this fear. Right. And that's a lot of evangelicals are fear-based because the religion is scared into them. I remember seeing the Passion play

and couldn't stop laughing and people got really mad at me. Uh-oh. Because I was like, this is like a weird porno, you guys. For people who aren't familiar, do most people

know what a Passion play is? No. No, really? It's huge down south. It's the Passion of the Christ. Basically, the Passion of the Christ. Oh, so it's a Christmas pageant except the guy gets whipped to death. It's Easter. They show the pain and all the stuff. Oh, so it's a Christmas pageant except the guy gets whipped to death and crucified. It's Easter, but it's, but I mean like how we have

Christmas pageants we get. and all this stuff. Right, right, right. But it's like local theater level special effects with just blood squirting everywhere. And like, yeah, they get into it.

I got what, they're trying to scare the Jesus into it. Right, I got what you said when you said Passion of the Cross, but I didn't realize the phenomenon of what that actually means that, oh, wow. And it's traditionally

a ploy of anti-semitic like groups to kind of Yeah to be like the Jews killed him. Yes. The characters who kill Jesus tend to be very similar to Gargamel from the Smurfs. And it's funny until you grow up and realize people

really believe it. Yes. Right. Yeah. Because I thought it was hilarious for the longest time. And then I was like, oh, people in that place were really into it. And that's why I wasn't allowed to be in there anymore because I was like, this is insane. They're like, this is reality. This is weird. Yeah.

Look at the stoning of Stephen if you want to see the beginnings of the othering of the Jew in the New Testament. All right. We're going to take a quick break on that one. We'll be right back.

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation.

KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever

you get your podcasts. And we're back. And there was a massive walkout at Google, makers of one of our favorite tools for checking out what's going on in the zeitgeist? What's it called? Oh, Google, yeah. Yes, Google Trends. But anyway, Google had a massive walkout by employees because of their handling of sexual harassment and sexual assault claims. Do you know how poorly that must have been handled for a bunch of nerds to be like, I think we're all going to go outside today. Well, it's been a thing that has been really boiling in the tech sector. This has been an ongoing thing because it's such a boys club, like the tech world, that it was building and building. And I think once Andy Rubin, who is this guy who created the Android platform or was a huge hand in the Android platform for Google, the way they handled allegations of misconduct

against him, they're like, here's a $90 million platinum parachute. See you later. Right. I would jump. I would jump out of that plane. Yeah. And he was like, he did interviews like,

oh, that number is totally exaggerated or whatever. But on top of that, the employees have a lot of problems with just sort of the culture within there of how they, like everything has to go through mandatory arbitration. So it's the same like how it happens in Congress where if you have an allegation, you don't go to court with trial by jury. Instead, you go in a private room and you can obscure what's going on and just have someone else handle the situation. And then they also want like increased, you know, increased transparency over, like, sexual harassment claims. They want better, like, you know, just a better system because right now the system is basically nonexistent.

And on top of just equal pay because that's another huge gap. I would suggest, and this is just as a comedian, what they need to do is educate a lot of those employees who aren't good at speaking to women. Let's just be honest. There's a reason they're really good at what they do is because they spent that developmental time inside not talking to women. Right. And now they don't know how to, and they have things that are attractive to women now. Right. And they don't know how to communicate and instead of learning how from other women or just and i'm not blaming women that's not what i mean but i'm just saying that's who should teach them more than you know other dudes too but the dudes that can teach them can't teach them right because they don't have the experience to communicate i don't know what you're going through because I've always been able to talk to women.

Do you know what I mean? So you just go up to them and talk to them. And then those guys are like, yeah, but when I do that, it makes my insides feel like butter, and then I want to leave. And then another dude's like, well, don't do that. Okay, I feel a lot better. There's these problems there. It's like a lot of comedians, too.

It's like I have comedian friends who were nerds and awful dudes, just awfully awkward dudes growing up, and they weren't good with women, and the women they were attracted to were probably mean to them a lot. Probably sometimes well-deserved sometimes not and then when they became attractive they are mad at women right right and they never learn to communicate

like they should so then they lash out and they're like why did that happen you're like well because you're a fucking asshole that's why that's so it's like this like the communication needs to be better. I feel like that's why a lot of the problems they're having with the nerds. At Google. At Google, because they're not bad people. I mean, there's always bad people around. Right. Always bad. But there's not overtly terrible people.

They're just like, I didn't know you couldn't say that because I saw that in a porno one time. You know what I mean? Right. It's like, so. Yeah. And the way they're addressing it without going to be like, hey, let's just go into another room. Well, that's not a good one.

Well, it's also just clear that, I mean, they have men in charge, ambitious tech, like engineer type men in charge. And I was actually reading an article about this lawsuit that was brought by just this massive asshole that they had working at Google on their self-driving cars initiative. And he just kept doing things

that are flagrantly against the rules of any company, like trying to start his own company and hire people away and like talking shit about Google. Using the information he was getting at Google. Yeah, using the information. And that's ultimately what the lawsuit was over. And they were making the point that like usually, like people are allowed to steal information

from their previous employer. And that's actually helped Silicon Valley progress so much because rather than having like shit on lockdown, you can just- Yeah, one company could own the whole thing, yeah. Right. One company gets a bunch of information, but then another company like has branches off because one employee, like Steve Jobs stole most of his best inventions.

He just put them all together in a very attractive way. No. But- No. But anyways, this guy just keeps getting bailed out by Larry Page, I think, one of the heads of Google, just because, and it's clear that he's very charmed by this guy, and who has no charms whatsoever, but is a very abrasively ambitious tech person who's like, somebody was like, yeah, I want to make $100 million off of this, and he looks at them with pity and is like, dude, I'm going to be a billionaire by the end of this. It's like that sort of asshole.

But Larry Page just keeps bailing him out because it's like, yeah, of course you empathize with that dude. That is you. Or who you want to be. You're like, I wish I could be this brat. Right, that's you 10 years ago. Or he's doing it to people that he likes. Right. Yeah, or he to be. Right. I wish I could be this brash. Right. That's you 10 years ago. And so you just have- Or he's doing it to people that he likes.

Right. Yeah. Or he's messing with, yeah. So you have this self-reinforcing culture of men mattering to the men above them. And then, yeah, nobody's going to- Not only are they not going to have a seminar where women get to talk to people and be like, this is how you talk to us. Listen, idiots. This is how you should talk to us.

Like I don't think those perspectives get respected just in a day to day minutia sort of way. Right. No, because they don't see that. Right. Yeah, it's like those dudes are, okay, here's a good example. It's like when you get involved with the court system,

you learn that those lawyers and those judges everyone's playing a different they're playing a game right the consequences are fucking serious yes but they're playing a game essentially because they have to do certain things there's certain rules and blah blah blah and that's when i realized like oh that's why i like comedy because my game is fun right and when it's like upsetting or anything it's still like it's still jokes right you know what i mean and those dudes at that level they don't see people as people anymore right and they're playing weird games yeah with each other and it's like it's ideally why we have checks and balances in our government the way it was set up but it's been hijacked and we need to fix it. Super producer Nick Stumpf pointed out that this dude, Andy Rubin,

might just have dirt on these guys. They'd have killed him. Hey, remember when we were hunting homeless guys from helicopters? No, no. Yeah, let's maybe give me $90 million to go away quietly. I think they'd just kill him. If you're going to hunt humans. Yeah, $90 million?

You could do it for $5,000. Yeah, I know dudes in the hills would be like, how much? Yeah, my dog might do it for a Louisville. How much do you need me to pay you to let me kill that man for free? And finally, avocado toast is officially the fuck over. Is it?

You think it's over? I think this might be a death knell moment. I'll support that statement. I like you coming out with that. I like avocado toast. You can't argue with the combination. I think it's when you see it for fucking $900 when you're putting a half avocado on bread or a whole avocado on two pieces of bread and you're charging, you're putting a half avocado on bread or a whole avocado on two pieces of bread, and you're charging me all this money.

Well, it's definitely reached the tipping point where it's now a mass-produced thing because Sabra, the hummus people, now have an avocado toast on-the-go kit. Which is just avocado. It's like, yeah. There's an avocado mash in a little plastic dippy cup with lime juice and salt and then a little thing dippy cup with like lime juice and salt.

And then like a little thing of like, you know, toast squares so you can dip it in. Right. It kind of just looks like a hipster dunkaroo to me. I mean, first of all, Sabra is just how I say what's up to my homies. Sabra. Hey, Sabra. He does. I can attest to that.

Yes, we all can. He does do that. But I don't see how this. isn't that just guacamole? Yeah, it's just guacamole with little toasted squares. Well, guacamole needs a little more. This is boring. Boring-moley. You got to have a little onion in there.

You need a little garlic in there. You need a little tomato in there if you really want to set it off. But it's just smashed avocado, lime juice, and salt. Some people are like, yeah, we've been doing that for years. It's called tortillas. Well, yeah. I mean, this thing is just its own. So the bubble's over.

The guacamole bubble is over. Yeah, I mean, we'll see. So either that's not actual avocado in there, or it is, and this thing is going to come out of the package brown as dirt. Oh, that's a good point. Or it's going to have to, yeah. I mean, if you've ever bought a pre-made guacamole, it's an L from the beginning. Oh, really?

Every time, yes. I've never met a pre-satchelized guacamole. God, I want it to be every time, though. I want it every time. Yeah, because you're like, oh, this is going to be good. It looks so easy. It's not. This one, though.

This one's got it. Yeah. Yes. This Sabra one, I think, guys, that they sell with little toast squares. They finally figured it out. They say, and the packaging, it says it's a fresh blend. Doesn't mean fresh avocado is a fresh blend. They didn't say anything, Miles.

They lie to us. They use Haas avocados as part of it. So we'll see. Sure. We all know what's going to happen. We're going to try it. We're like, this isn't good. We knew it wouldn't be.

But we're all going to try it. I'm not going to try it because as you and I, we all know in here, prepackaged avocado anything is garbage and is terrible. I know, but I still will keep trying. You will? Yeah. What is it, the convenience? Because you don't want to go through the whole rigmarole.

I live in a nice working class Mexican neighborhood, and my grocery stores are made for Mexican people, so the produce and stuff is pretty dope right so so you make it no sometimes they do like the bakery oh like those have it on deck yeah yeah that's and i've done it twice it's been really good but that's the only it's real mess it's rarely hit yeah but if you go to like a ral Ralph's or some shit and you go whatever in those aisles and you're like, it's in a plastic bladder. Yeah.

Like I'm not going to cut the end and just squeeze that shit out into a bowl. It looks terrible. It's offensive. It is offensive. And I don't want to disrespect anybody's culture by eating that nonsense. It's insulting. It is insulting. And it's easy to make, man.

Guacamole is the easiest shit to make. It's just the labor. I think people don't like cutting open avocados because so many people fuck up and injure themselves. You're wrong, but it's the easiest shit to make because avocado toast is the easiest shit to make because it's like two less stoves. Yeah, you could like just caveman the shit apart of an avocado. Like, eat this little salt. But I love like when I was looking at somebody sent me like a menu photo of avocado toast. Somebody sent me a menu photo of avocado toast, and it's just funny how they add two adjectives to each thing to break up the illusion that they're just putting avocado on bread, where it's like fresh Maldon sea salt with cracked pepper on artisanal grain bread.

And you're like, if you just take all them shits away, you're just seeing avocado salt pepper bread for $19. Which is good, but not for nothing. That's the problem. And I think that's maybe what it is. It's become associated with this lifestyle item. They're like, oh, we can take some there's some cachet to it that we can charge people.

If it is a bullshit lifestyle item and all that money is just going towards like the unattainability of it, then this might hurt the actual like vibe that people get off of avocado toast. So I support it. Yeah. Great.

Get it off the menu. Cause it's offensive to me to see it on a menu. Stupid. Billy Wayne. It's been a pleasure. Always. As always, man.

Where can people find you? And is there a tweet you've been enjoying? Yeah, I'm going to brag about my tweet. Oh, yeah. Yesterday was rich people voting like wealthy people are about to be poor people. That's good. And then you'll find me at Billy Wayne Davis. Where do they find jokes like that?

Instagram, Twitter. I think there's a Facebook. And then if you just Google Billy Wayne Davis, whatever you like to social, it'll come up. There you go. How about that? And I'll be in Humboldt County this weekend.

So it'll be tonight at Savage Henry Comedy Club in Eureka, California. Eureka. Miles, where can people find you? Find me on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Cry And if you are interested in a tweet that I like

It comes from Dr. Tressie McMillan-Cottom Who is like an educator And has This tweet was just really funny to me because It underscores how Sometimes people of color view how white people Live when you don't know,

if you're not as experienced. So you say, I just want all white people to know that I assume everything I see in a Hallmark movie is a documentary of white daily life. Right now, millions of you just said, I'm going to tell him I love him the best way I know how, with gingerbread. That is pretty accurate. Gingerbread is your love language? That is pretty accurate. Gingerbread is your love language?

I do think there is a larger swath of the population that probably does live like that. Oh, God. It sounds like a great time. Great time. Love the gingerbread. It is nice. I'm one of the people who live like that. Is your blood type gingerbread?

Uh-huh. Well, he loves me because he gave me cake. Pumpkin Spice-o-tope tweeted. Actually, Bucky Isotope, but that's what he's going with right now. The narrator in the classic song Ghostbusters repeatedly exclaims that he doesn't believe in ghosts, yet he's singing a song about people who capture ghosts for a living. Thus, we establish he lacks bona fides and is an unreliable narrator.

Yeah. And Miles, what song are we going to ride out on today? We are going to ride out on a little remix by The Avalanches. There's a song, Because I'm Me. It's a pretty dope song. But this is the Black Milk remix of Because I'm Me. Again, you know I like this song because it's like nice little chopped vocal samples on the vocals.

And again, the beat is just, a lot of the music I've been picking just makes me feel, hope that I'm in a colder climate and feels like music I would listen to in my headphones as I walk around a cold city. That's smart. But it's hot as shit still in the law.

Well, it's not hot. It's like 80, but come on. Come on, Earth. Give me some cold, please. Well, you know. What? You don't know? What? Never mind. All right, tell me. It's not good. Give me some coal, please. Well, you know. What? You don't know? What?

Never mind. All right, tell me. It's not good. Really? Earth's not good. Or maybe it's good. I don't know. We're done.

God damn it. It could be the thing that's supposed to be happening. All right, we're going to ride out on that. We will be back on Monday. So have a good weekend, everyone. Bye. Bye. Bye.
