Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me. First timer. Yeah, I'm so excited.

You're a big fan of the show, I'm sure. I listen every day. First time, long time. Oh, yeah. Stop it. Go on. Since I found out I was going to be day. First time, long time. Oh, yeah. Stop it. Go on. Since I found out I was going to be here. That's what I get.

Right, exactly. There we go. Well, thank you for joining us. There's some people who come on who don't know what the show, they think it's about sports. And they're like, oh, uh-oh. Oh. Yeah.

Well, good thing I don't know anything about sports. So, boom, we're good. So, it all works out. You asked, before we started recording, if some people come in and are freaking out about Corona and just the sickness that is on these microphones. And that's something that we need to probably be more aware of, especially because I do find myself touching my mouth to the microphone every once in a while. I get right up on there. You're playing a fucking sick game with fate. Well, because I'm quiet.

I'm a quiet person, so I can't. I don't project well, so I need to get right up on there. Right up on it. But you don't have to lick it after every recording. I don't, but I do. Yeah. Kind of. It's podcasting 101.

Yeah, exactly. I made Veronica feel very comfortable as you came in. I immediately disinfected alling 101. Yeah, exactly. I made Veronica feel very comfortable when she came in. I immediately disinfected all the microphones. Yeah. But he's just going to go back to kissing and hugging them. Yeah, kissing. I know what you guys are up to out there. Kissing and hugging your microphones.

All right, Veronica, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking about today. They called them Coachella, Stagecoach, both postponed. Pusponements. We're going to talk about general coronavirus updates, the fun stuff, the good stuff, the stuff you come here for.

People aren't even hoarding the right hand sanitizers. Come on, guys. Obviously, they're not Zite Gang, but we'll talk about that. Panic at the Costco. Why we can't stop touching our face. Yeah, Panic at the Costco is pretty good. That's the name of this episode. Yeah, that's great.

I chimed in with, haven't you people ever heard of over 60% alcohol hand sanitizer? No, I'm working on that. No, it's good though. It's good. I like to workshop everything out loud and let the awkwardness inform how bad that was. We're going to talk about Quibi's show. The show we're probably most excited about from Quibi.

Yeah. Are we the only people talking about Quibi? No, people are talking about it. Right, in LA. But are people elsewhere? In LA, people talk about it. It's like, damn, you got a quibi show right well because everybody like they my neighbors aren't even in the entertainment industry they have a quibi show coming up like they employ like most of the people i know so

like are people in the rest of america do they give a shit about quibi let us know i don't know because i don't i haven't seen marketing like advance of it. There are some ads out there. That's good? Yeah. On NBA games, there's one. No, they're not good ads, actually. They're pretty bad because they're doing the thing where there's a zombie apocalypse and somebody's like, well, now I can just take five minutes and watch this show.

So it's like when you only have a few minutes to do something. But the production value is that of a commercial. So you're like, wait, does Quibi also have just shitty production values? It's not good. It was a bad ad campaign. But they haven't launched yet, right? They have not. Maybe they're waiting.

Right, and then they're going to blow us away. I don't know. Great marketing plan. Wait for it to launch. Then tell people about it. The other title of today's show, we are going to be saying RIP to America's butts. Because there is some. Yeah.

The fast food gets. The fast food is just getting too good. We're talking about a trifurcated chalupa. A trifurcated. Not even bif chalupa. A trifurcated. Not even bifurcated. Trifurcated. We'll get to all. I mean, we're going off the rails here.

We are. A thralupa. Thralupa. You're going to start pitching some ideas. But Veronica, first we like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? I recently was looking up hamster leashes. Hamster leashes or leeches?

Leashes. Okay. Hamster leashes. I just got a hamster. It's my entire personality. That is a great. Before I get slamed by hamster Twitter, I will not be buying one.

They are dangerous. I understand that. But I was just like, I mean, she's my. Oh, a leash? Yeah, a little leash with a little harness. Oh, I thought you meant hamsters are dangerous. No, no, no, the leashes. Hamster leashes are dangerous is what I'm taking from this.

Okay. But yeah, I mean, my hamster, she's a little queen and I wanted to just like spruce up her cage. I was looking up, you know, different bridges for her, little tunnels. And then I was kind of just like, I wonder if you can walk a hamster in the way you can walk a dog.

So I was like, I'm going to look up hamster leash. And they exist. Yeah. Are people actually walking them? Or is it like how they have leashes for cats? I think it's like that. But it's like apparently, yeah. I think it's bad because it can damage their, they're so fragile.

So you can't hold them. So you don't get one. But I just thought it was kind of silly. So have you built out like a whole like tunnel system for your hamster? Yeah. And I got her a little hammock. It's so cute. She like hangs in it. Oh, really? Wait, really? Yeah. How long have you for your hamster? Yeah, and I got her a little hammock. It's so cute. She hangs in it.

Oh, really? Wait, really? Yeah. How long have you had your hamster? Like a few weeks. Oh, my goodness. What's the hamster's name? Gertrude.

Gertrude. Or Flirty Gertie. She responds to both. Wow. Do you have playdates with other hamsters? No, they don't get a lot. They're solitary, which is why I like them. Hamsters are?

Just in general? Yeah, they'll fight each other. They will? That's interesting. Wow. Why is that a YouTube her. Hamsters are? Just in general? Yeah, they'll fight each other. They will? Wow. Why is that a YouTube video? Hamster fights. I think it's probably very boring

and then very depressing. Yeah. I feel like they would just be like this, just patting each other. How does that work in the wild, though? It's just like they get together when it's mating time and then get the fuck away from each other?

Yeah, and I think when they're babies, they can be around each other, but I think as they mature. And then don't the moms eat the babies? Allegedly. Right, allegedly. Wait, really? Not Gertrude. No, Gertrude would never.

Gertrude is a queen. Wait, is that real? I've heard that before. That's facts. That's factual. The most gnarly pet stories I've ever heard are always about hamsters. Yeah, hamsters, they don't buck around.

They'll eat other hamsters, they'll kill each other, and they will get stuck in weird places, but not Gertrude. Again, I will say not Gertrude. She is a queen. She's a queen.

Queen Gertrude, all hail. What is something you think is underrated? Having a library card. Okay. Do you guys have one? This is something we've heard. Yeah, I do.

I have it on my keychain. Okay, thank you. I have so many friends and just people in life that they don't have one, and when I talk about how much I love having one, but first of all, free books.

Yeah. Hello. And there's so many resources. Like, I am a member of the LA County Library System. You can take online learning with like lynda.com. You can do that all for free.

I was looking yesterday. You can like, they have like citizenship classes. They have, if you need to complete your high school diploma, like they have so many programs and so many things available with a card and not enough people are talking about it.

Get movies. Yeah. You can do it all. You do it all. What books do you have out currently? I just finished reading where the crawdads thing. Oh, is it good?

So good. Is it phenomenal? Novel, right? Yeah. Is it a crime novel? Yeah. Yeah.

There's a, there's like a murder most foul, but also it's like beautifully written. So beautifully Southern. I'm assuming based on the title. Okay. And I'm in one of those. It takes place in Yonkers,

New York. Where the crawdads sing. You know where Yonkers is full of crawdads. It's actually crawfish season right now. Is it? For sure. Yep. For all you who like crawfish,

I love crawfish. I know. Love the crawfish boil. Miles is wearing his Bubba Gump shirt. Bubba it? Sure. Yep. For all you who like crawfish. I love crawfish. I know. Love the crawfish boil. Miles is wearing his Bubba Gump shirt. Bubba Gump shirt. Exactly. Cool.

Or boiling crap, you know, if you really want the OG. Yeah. The local area. That's the UCLA one, right? Like dive bar. Yeah, there's one in Westwood. Yeah. But that one in Koreatown is like the one I'll go to.

Is that the OG? Yeah. Yeah. Like for LA, you know, people, there's one in Alhamb Yeah, but that one in Koreatown is the one I'll go to a lot. Is that the OG? Yeah, yeah. Like for LA people, there's one in Alhambra, I believe, also. So anyway, shout out to the people who like crawfish. Yeah, crawfish is delicious. Support the mud bugs. What is something you think is overrated? Okay, I'm...

Is this going to make hamster Twitter mad again? I feel like I'm going to get kicked out. No. Well, I was going to say cold brew. Overrated. Yeah. But then you offered me one when I came in,

but then I couldn't think of something else at the last minute. I was wondering why when I was like, would you like a cold brew? And you said, oh, fuck off. I was like, wow, we just met.

No, go on. I mean, I'm not here to say cold brew is objectively the number one thing. People have their opinions. I just feel like people are just, they freaking will not stop talking about it. For me, it tastes like tar. It's like, and also it's like a liquid heart attack.

Whenever I drink it, I'll drink it in the morning because I'm like, I'm tired. And then around 3 p.m. it hits me. I feel like I'm going to just, my heart's going to pop out of my chest and then I don't sleep. You get latent cold brew hit? So maybe it's just me. Are you drinking Creeper? Maybe. Maybe I'm drinking the wrong stuff.

Isn't that the weed that you would smoke and then an hour later? That's like decades ago. If you said that, I'd be like, what, officer? You guys hitting Creeper? I'm like, yo, all right, Creeper Southerner, get the fuck out of here. That's funny because I'm like that with edible weed. I'll eat it three hours later. I'm like, I'm in a place I did not need to be right now.

I needed it three hours ago. Cold brew, the reason I drink it is I'm, listeners have heard this time and again, I'm pretty insensitive to regular cups of coffee. Okay. So this is the only thing where I've been like, oh, this is what drinking coffee is like. Then maybe it's just my body. I didn't mean to. Well, no, many people have sat across from me.

No, no, no, no offense taken. I mean, it's just, you know, when you choose this life, you accept everything that comes along with it. For sure. But there are people who have been like, oh, is this good? And then we'll have a panic attack in that seat and be like, oh, this is intense. Yeah, no, it makes me feel like I'm going to, I don't know.

Yeah. Do you drink a lot of caffeine in general? I drink like green tea. Just like green tea usually is enough. Yeah, so you're very lot of caffeine in general? I drink like green tea. Oh, okay. Green tea usually is enough. Yeah, so you're very caffeine sensitive. Yeah. Yeah, that's enough to give you a little bit.

Yeah, yeah. I would say we are saying that cold brew is overrated for caffeine sensitive people. Sure, yeah, yeah. Oh, it's overkill. Yeah, it's overkill. It's way too much. My caffeine receptors are just blown out for whatever reason. Yeah, blown out.

My house's caffeine receptors are blown out. They're blown out. I don't know why. No, it's like, yeah, like- Blow blown out. My house's caffeine receptors are blown out. They're blown out. I don't know why. No, it's like, yeah. Blow it out. I don't know, man. The cath receptors are blown the fuck out. Blown out, man.

But my mom's the same way. Yeah. I would always, in my mind, coffee was something you would drink late at night because you just wanted a warm drink. Yeah. So I never, I don't know if maybe I witnessed that. I'm like, coffee has no power on people. Yeah.

I don't know how much is placebo. How much is. No. Caffeine's a powerful drug. Yeah. It exists. Yeah. Caffeine's real.

The industry is going wild right now. I was reading an article how the caffeine, like, you know, cause they're drug peddlers too. Right. Having to constantly think of how they can keep. Yeah.

New caffeine delivery methods. On the calf. Yeah. Have you had the snuff? No keep people hooked on the calf. Yeah. Have you had the snuff? No. You just snort caffeine? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Straight to the dome?

Colombian caffeine? Yeah. That stuff's great. It's white? Yeah, it's white. Makes you fart a bunch? That's only you, man. Well, they cut it with laxatives, man.

All the drug dealers know what I'm talking about. Yeah, I know people who were having trouble sleeping and having major anxiety, and then they cut caffeine out. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like caffeine is, you know, you need to take it seriously. Yeah. And know yourself.

Could you ever dial back your caffeine intake? No. Probably not. I think that's what happens. Oh, so your caffeine receptors are blown out in the other way. Yeah. I need them. Ain't no coming back. Probably not. What do you think would happen? Oh, so your caffeine receptors are blown out in the other way. Yeah, I need them. Ain't no coming back. I need it. I've had some days where I can

go. I just think that now I'm at the point where I get headaches if I don't have it. Ooh, the withdrawals, huh? Yeah, and then I start shaking. Yeah, that happens. The sweats have always happened. Then I'm on the street just begging people for a sip of their coffee. And then I start shaking. Yeah, that happens. Yeah. The sweats have always happened. Yeah. Yeah.

Then I'm on the street just begging people for like sipping their coffee. For a Frappuccino. Can I get a sip of your Frapp, man? Ice blended. It's like really shitty. Frappuccino. Let me get your Frapp, bro. Let me get into that.

I need it. Yes, with whipped cream. And don't get cheap on me. Let me lick the frat, bro. Let me get into that. I need it. Yes, with whipped cream. And don't get cheap on me. Let me lick the whipped cream on top. Finally, what is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? Okay, so I went beekeeping a couple weeks ago. All right.

Highly recommend it. But I learned- What do you mean you went beekeeping? It was like an Airbnb experience. Airbnb. And you go to this guy's house and you beekeep. Oh, so it's like, because I know in Airbnb they have stays and experiences. So this was like a two in one? No, just an experience. He lives out in Eagle Rock. We went for like a couple hours. And what I learned, which I thought was interesting and I didn't know, I thought,

you know, that you've heard that bees die when they sting. Yeah. Not entirely true. So they will die if they sting a mammal or something else with really thick skin. So like if they sting you, you know, the stinger gets stuck in your skin. Oh, and it's like eviscerates them. It eviscerates and then they die. But they're fine stinging other insects. Oh.

And things with less thick skin, which I didn't know. That is cool. Got it, got it, got it. So I was like, that seems like evolutionarily dumb for the bees. But it's not. They're actually fine.

They're just putting their lives on the line. The gnarliest. Again, I'm going to talk gnarly. I'm going to go gnar talk. Some gnar talk? Some gnar talk here, guys. So hold on to your butts. But there are some wild stories about just like how animals battle it

or how insects battle each other. Like bees versus the Japanese hornet. Oh, we all know that viral video. Oh, the one where they encircle it and start vibrating it? Oh, and use their heat to melt the wasp or whatever? The hornet? That's how they'd battle the wasp. But then the wasps that just

destroy the bees, and there's just bee body parts flying all over the place. There's a video with a camera within a beehive where these Japanese hornets or wasps come in, and their pincers are just, they're just like chopping the bees up. Yeah.

But it was wild to see. Yeah. Like the one defense the bees had was like, if they downed one hornet, they would just dog pile and then overheat the hornet with like their butts. With their butt vibrations. Wow. Yeah. Their ability to like regulate heat is super dope.

Yeah. Because like they like can air condition their hives with their wings. They like create like big drafts. You got, you know, you gotta, that's why you gotta

take care of these bees, man. The only thing you gotta respect more than caffeine? Bees. Well, the guy said if you have the space to plant rosemary, they really like to pollinate that

so that'll, they'll come. Oh, shit. Yeah. Yeah, I have a beehive in my backyard. I just leave it there. Yeah. Yeah. Like some people are like allergic i'm like i don't care i'm not gonna tell them to leave guess you get don't get to hang out here i guess i don't know bring three epi pens when you come over yeah i've also but it's so funny the last times i've been

stung by bees it's always me stepping on a bee yeah oh i haven't but like i used as a kid used to, as a kid, I remember being an idiot and fucking around your beehive or something and getting stung tradition on the arms or something. Yeah. But on the soles of your feet, the worst fucking kind. Oh yeah. You were like walking around limping like earlier, uh,

in my career, in your career. Yeah. Um, yeah. The, uh, a little, one of my son's friends got stung in our

pool by a dead bee uh just right yeah like floated over and like got her wow my very first bee sting uh dead bee on a boogie board yeah i tried to get on the boogie board and just fucking the bee was already on there and he was like get the fuck fuck off. Get the fuck off. Boom. Cried. Yeah. Five years old. What was the beekeeping experience like? Amazing. You were in a suit? You're fully suited up. I, going into it, was like, what am I doing?

You know, like, why am I here? It was my friend's birthday, so we had to go. Why am I here? No, it was leap day. You know, we were just going crazy. Oh, leap day. Yeah, we were doing leap day things. There you go.

Yeah, yeah. But it was actually so, like, it was so calming and relaxing because you have to be very, you know, slow and you don't want to freak the bees out. So I felt very safe.

You know, you're totally covered and you go and the guy had a bunch of different hives and he would pull them out and you could just, like, watch them interact and he would kind of explain, like, what each of their jobs were,

what they were doing and you just kind of, like, hang out. And again, it's very, you're very slow, very calm, very, like like relaxed environment. And then at the end, he cut off some of the honey and we ate it and it was the best thing ever.

So if you want something really fun and random to do, go beekeeping. It was random. We just learned something too. Especially a vital part of our life cycle. Yeah. Our ecosystem. Yeah.

Our life cycle as well. We all start off as bees. Well, of course. Yeah. And we leave the hive. That's our very specific religion that we practice here at the Daily Zeitgeist. Feasting a kid in a pool. Yeah.

And then you become that kid. It's like a Santa Claus scenario. I'm this old bee now. All right. Let's talk about the latest casualties of coronavirus that are not people. Coachella, stagecoach, like we said, postponed. Postponed. Got, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, we knew it was going to happen. Yeah. I think once Riverside County was like, okay, we have cases here in the county where the festivals are had. We don't need hundreds of thousands of people coming through here and then going back all over the country and the world. And yeah, they're saying now both stagecoach and Coachella not canceled, just moving it to October, right when it's supposed to be coming back after the summer.

Is that when the next like sort of flu season is supposed to be beginning? Yeah. And worse, right? Well, we don't know. Potentially. But yeah, I think maybe they just didn't want

to just be have like make the disheartening announcement like we're so sorry people who aren't good with their money and spent it all on this ticket.

Yeah, they might not have the cash ready to like refund people's tickets. Can you imagine those offices right now? Yeah. I heard EDC

didn't refund people which is... Ugh. Yep. I think Ultra also had to cancel in Miami. I mean, dude, where are we supposed to go, man? Pearl Jam, they canceled their tour, or they're postponing it. I think they, I mean, you'd imagine, yeah, Gen Xers are probably going to be there.

They're not quite vulnerable. I was so excited to smoke some Creeper at the Pearl Jam concert. Fucking. I was going to just do cold brew. Right. I was going to smoke it and then wait for the show to come around. Well, all right.

Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do.

One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that?

You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing

dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm.

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? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image.

It's right here in black and white and prints. A lion. Individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch is 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.

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. Hi, everyone.

Swayze was like the dopest rapper at Malibu High and he went to high school with like Cisco Adler and he was like, dad, this guy's gotta be the fucking next, like let's give him a deal. Oh,

it's Lou Adler's son. Yeah, that's right. Okay, yeah, I do know who that is. And then they had a VH1 show. Yeah.

Hell yeah. Anyway. You call him crazy. Well, anyways. Swayze. Remember? We remember that lyric.

We were there. Let's keep talking about this. Yeah, look, SoCal Pride, Jack. Yeah, yeah. Know about it. Are you from SoCal? I'm from San Diego. We were there. Let's keep talking about this. Yeah. Look, SoCal pride, Jack. Yeah, yeah. Know about it.

Are you from SoCal? I'm from San Diego. Okay, cool. He's not, dude. You can tell. You can tell. His vibes are not. Yeah.

He's from very East Coast neurotic vibes over here. Let's talk about the fact that we have this coronavirus thing licked, baby. Just like my microphone. Yeah, I was going to say. 6,563 is the number of people who have officially been tested for coronavirus. Not tested positive,

who have been tested so far. That's who's been tested. US population is 327.2 million, roughly. Yes. That is 327.2 million roughly. Yes. That's.0002 hundred thousandths of a percent. Two hundred thousandths of a percent have been tested for coronavirus.

Great. We're in the clear, y'all. Because. Great sample size. Yeah. And if you look in the comments of the article where they report this, it's a lot of MAGA people because it was reported on Yahoo. It's a lot of MAGA people being like, this is fake news. They just want to hate on the president. But it seems to be,

they do mention that there are some states that might be underreporting the number of people tested. So maybe it's 10,000. Wait, why would they underreport the number of people? Like what? That they've tested. Some states only report people who have tested positive. Oh, got it, got it, got it. So they're just saying, this is combining CDC's numbers with state testing, but it's still just a woefully low number, whereas, like, South Korea has tested 100,000 people. The U.S., it just seems like the incentive is not there uh from the trump administration to get people tested and uh it's kind of a bummer do you have family in

san diego still is there what's what's the vibe in san diego around coronavirus um i mean i think it's the same as here I don't know making sure yeah I know down in Corona California they're not liking it yeah bad branding for them yeah

circle city I'm just thankful that like my parents are relatively on the younger side and healthy but I can't imagine like not having that luxury I don't know

yeah scary it's just odd too because everything about this we say this every day it's like it's all self-made. Like, not obviously the disease is it, but like, we've done a lot of things to make it

as hard as possible to do, like, to have a meaningful response. Yeah. I mean, this is, so there was a former CDC official who I think we talked about in a previous episode who was around for H1N1 and was saying, like. Oh, I got that. You got H1N1? Yeah, Swine Flu survivor. Oh, wow.

Look at you. Weird flex, but okay. How old were you when you got it? Like 16. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. H1N1 in the building.

Yeah, H1N1. But they were saying that the CDC's rollout when they were there was really good and they don't know what happened to this one because they're just like baffled by the fact that there aren't more people being tested there aren't tests uh more just widely distributed in the country uh we're supposed to be like the most advanced country uh we are not uh and you know this is what happens when you cut the cdc funding by 22% across the board.

Trump announced an intention to issue some sort of payroll tax cuts to ease the burden on Americans who can't work or don't have sick leave or their company is taking a hit from the economy going down the shitter. And that was enough to get the stock market kind of moving or like out of free fall but it was really vague and then uh yesterday they were like and we don't really know what we're gonna do like yeah nice there's no plan that they were saying like okay we're gonna have a plan a meeting with mitch mcconnell yeah later but like everyone was saying it's like there's no fucking plan yeah we're in the office with him. There is no plan. You don't think Mike Pence has a plan? Mike Pence has his plate pretty full already,

which is odd. We were saying yesterday how he's actually been trying to do somewhat of an actual job of listening to experts rather than being like, can we pray it away? There is a bit of a response there.

But in terms of like how they're going to help the economy, the plan absolutely does not exist. And he's saying they're going to meet with GOP leadership. They're even confused with what's going on. Right. So that isn't a good sign. And also a lot of economists are like, this administration is running out of a lot of ways to stimulate the economy with policy.

Like we're at a point to with they've done all they've goosed it in so many ways it's like it's going to be hard to do anything else at this point because you've played a lot of the cards uh to to uh reinvigorate the economy but yeah so you know publicly trump is trying to keep things calm behind closed doors uh he is apparently kind of melting down he's already a germ phobia as we've talked about he's making claims that the media is going to try to infect him with coronavirus on air force one uh so like just the most toxic way to like be a leader at this time when the country is divided uh basically making the case that it's all a conspiracy,

trying to find any way to just latch on to a conspiracy theory. Hasn't he still been shaking hands with people? Yeah. So that's the thing that is really frustrating is he's throwing it out there that the media is somehow going to infect him, impeach him with coronavirus uh but the thing that's gonna get him infected is the fact that he just won't listen to scientists and you know the secret service is like all right please stay away from crowds and there was this article about the quote unique challenge of trying to keep uh trump you know protected from coronavirus and it was

just it opens with president donald trump disembarked shaking hands with local politicians on the tarmac before heading directly to a rope line where he grasped the outstretched hands of supporters yeah uh so he was given i saw that video firm fucking handshakes yeah like they should have played bone crusher never scared he was licking his hand after. Yeah. He was like, I never scared. He's like, yes, nice to meet you. The funny thing is too, like in the articles or on one hand, he's terrified that journalists are going to infect him. They're like, well then, you know, if, if you feel that it's a thing that can be transmitted,

we need to cancel the rallies. And he's like, absolutely not. Right. It's just the thing. I think that's, what's keeping him alive is it's like you know when you're an entertainer you know when you stop hearing those crowds cheering for you yeah what do you got left yeah your own thoughts yeah oh boy yeah this uh person who is a secret service agent who like the secret service uh prepares for the possibility of a pandemic and

they're like the whole playbook is restricting access, like making sure they never like interact with the public. But then he says, you know, it's kind of wishful thinking on the services part at the end of the day with this president who will do whatever he wants to do. You can yell and scream as much as you want to articulate the risk, but if the president feels it's necessary to do it, the president is going to do it. So that's what

leadership is. Yeah, that is what leadership. I mean, the other thing, too, is there's so much back and forth, like, OK, so and even in his mind, it's like he's trying to have it both ways. On one hand, I mean, the journalists might get me with it and it's a real thing. On the other hand, mass groups together isn't an issue and that doesn't matter. And even on Fox, right, there's they're even having a bit, you know, they always there's always a moment where Fox begins to like break on itself where they don't know. Like, do we keep saying the bullshit or do some people who even know it's real be like, this is kind of too far. Yeah, it's already starting. So the other night, Trish Regan opened her show with just a jaw-dropping opening monologue. Yeah.

This is the very first thing people hear, right? What we're about to play. When you tune into her show, this is how she opened her show. There'll be a moment where she talks about what the liberal media is doing. It's just a montage of them saying, like, he's not prepared. He's bungling it. Or other people saying, like, people are going to die. That's an that's inevitable, no matter what he's doing. So she's going to be referencing that. But just we just sort of isolated all of her, you know, meandering, ranting thoughts on this. you know, meandering, ranting thoughts on this.

Being leveled at the president is nearing a crescendo as Democrats blame him and only him for a virus that originated halfway around the world. This is yet another attempt to impeach the president. And sadly, it seems they care very little for any of the destruction they are leaving in their wake. Losses in the stock market. All this, unfortunately, just part of the political casualties for them. You know, this is a time to be united, not to be pointing fingers, not to be encouraging hate. And yet, what do we see?

We see the absolute opposite from the left tonight. Good evening, everyone. I am Trish Riggins. Opposite from the left tonight. Good evening, everyone. I am Trish Riggins. For many in the liberal media using and I mean using coronavirus in an attempt to demonize and destroy the president. I see. So that's the montage.

This is impeachment all over again. And like with the Mueller investigation, like with Ukraine gate, they don't care who they hurt. Whether it be their need to create mass hysteria. Is she taking this off the dome? Because it really feels like she's losing track of her thoughts and just being like, I mean, these people. It's like when a wedding toast, you're like, okay, you need to wrap it up. You ran completely out of your seat.

You had to be like, I thought of the three things I'll say. And then once you complete that third thought, you're like, and. Webster's Dictionary defines love as. Somebody pull that up really quick. What's it define it as? But like love, you know, like that's what's here. And like, that's what I love about this. So let's raise our glasses.

Yeah. It's, it's a bit alarming that on one hand you have this being like, this is a fucking hoax game. Yeah. Where they are just only looking at coronavirus very narrowly through the lens of Wall Street performance. Yeah. That is amazing that she was like, they don't care about the destruction. Yeah. The stock market.

Like what? How do you get from a virus that equals impeachment? I think because in the language of MAGA world, criticism or any kind of objective, I mean, they'll never see it as objective, but any kind of criticism

about what the administration is doing is an attempt to impeach him or remove him from office. And that's all it is. It's like, oh, you think he's doing a bad job? Oh, because you want to impeach him. No, it's like we want to live. Yeah, that and he's objectively fucked as a president. So then what's funny is Tucker Carlson, of all people,

old fucker Carlson. Tuck Everlasting? Yeah. He had a bit of a different approach to maybe how this whole coronavirus thing should be approached. None of this is justification to panic. You shouldn't panic. In crisis, it's more important than ever to be calm. But staying calm is not the same as remaining complacent.

It does not mean assuring people that everything will be fine. We don't know that. Instead, it's better to tell the truth. That is always the surest sign of strength. As they level with us, our leaders ought to prepare the public that is always the surest sign of strength huh as they level with us our leaders ought to prepare the public for what may come next if a recession is coming we need to save money for the possible effect of that if travel restrictions are coming we should know that too and then he goes on he goes he's like it's it's really not good to just say this

is just a flu right because it isn't and we don't know why who was saying that tucker carlson no no who was saying oh dear leader oh really yeah it's funny to see him going it's odd that he had to basically tucker carlson's be like i know you're watching bro uh just so you know real strength and leadership would be telling the truth telling the truth what's the truth what's the truth at this point y'all y'all don't even know what fucking solid ground is. Right. He's incapable of seeing anything other than through his self-interested view on the world. So it's all don't let the ship dock because it's going to be bad for his numbers.

That is his view of this whole case. November is going to be a fun month for us all. I mean, the other thing too, like the other effect of this is like, it's really underlining how little leadership is happening on the right. And, you know, also a great moment for, you know, Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, respectively for their campaigns, to underline why either of them

is going to be a president that can help. I'm not sure what, you know, Joey Jojo Shabadoo can get done. But he knows enough. He's smart enough to know what he doesn't know. He's going to have to stop making out with his granddaughter. Yeah, and sniffing ladies' heads. He's going to have to stop with that. Could you imagine?

But then even Trump, right? Like it's with his whole thing where people are asking, you know, you've been around a bunch of people. Even Mark Meadows, who's about to be chief of staff. He's self quarantining also. Right. And isn't there a picture of Trump like doing full handshake with a, yeah, well not just Mark Meadows, but with like Mark Schlapp. Uh, but anyway, but I think, and then, uh, the white house has been really sort of mum about like if whether or not Trump's been tested. You'd think they just would out of just to be have every precaution to take every precaution. But it's too logical.

Yeah, exactly. I have a feeling it's like when a kid doesn't want to go to the doctor because they're going to get a shot. He's like, no, no. Why would I go to the doctor? They're going to tell me something's wrong. Right. And I'm like, oh, yeah. Yeah.

I like that. When you see the actual relationship between him and his doctor, the doctor who came out and publicly was like he yeah yeah i like that when you see the actual uh relationship between him and his doctor the doctor who came out and publicly was like he's in the best health ronnie jackson any human i think i've ever seen and then now that he's no longer in the administration he's like yeah it's not good like we had to try and sneak vegetables into his mashed potatoes yeah that was literally yeah yeah like a baby let Let's see, Ronnie Jackson, he did the thing where he's like, I'll say the thing out loud to help the patient and then try and do what's best for the patient

by sneaking coffee in the mashie. So, I mean, we know what his relationship is to medical science. Yeah. It's not good. This is a thought that occurred to me- Just now? Just now. But do you think that people are more like kind of gravitating towards

biden because of the coronavirus thing and because biden is more like the establishment pick and like the idea of sanders and like a revolutionary pick is like scary to them people have actually thought like sort of done not analysis but mused on it and i think it's a mixture of okay there was e there was Ebola under the Obama administration and they did a pretty good job of being like, we're going to fucking handle this shit. Don't worry. But also a lot of people are just, especially for people who aren't as politically engaged, they just want the primary to be over. And the second the media and the sort of party got all behind Joe Biden, they're like, fine, they know what's best.

Let's just fucking hit the kill switch on this primary. I don't care anymore. I remember that's how I felt in 2016. I was like kind of just like, just like the Sanders thing is just stretching it out. I want to be able to stop paying attention. Right. So like, please, just because I was completely politically disengaged. To our own detriment.

Yeah. To our own detriment. Yeah, to our own detriment hugely. Especially for progressives. I think a lot of people are still like, well, Elizabeth Warren, please back Bernie Sanders. Because if you put the policies of Joe Biden side by side, you're like, you don't have anything in common with Joe Biden. You have much more in common with Bernie. Let's help. Let's keep some progressive momentum.

It doesn't matter at this point, though, does it? We'll see. I mean, we don't know the results of the mini Super Tuesday that happened. Big Tuesday? Big Tuesday. Big Tuesday. Hyper Tuesday. Yeah. We don't know the outcomes yet. We do, but we don't want to share it with you because we want to give ourselves 48 hours to really let it marinate.

Get these takes. Miles, people aren't even hoarding the right kind of hand sanitizer. Is that true? Yeah. I mean, they're not. Okay. That was a great, by the way, can we just stop and recognize the world's greatest transition that I just did?

I know. I was just like, I'm going to let that cook real quick. I'm going to let that cook real quick. Yeah, so if you go to most stores, most CVSs, it's really sad how there's like, oh, there's barely any hand sanitizing products. Some places have them. Some places don't. Other places are like, you cannot buy more than two bottles the fuck out of here. You're not going to clear the shelves.

But the CDC, out of the CDC recommending people, obviously the mantra, keep your hands clean, don't touch your fucking face. And along with that, they're saying, look, if you can't wash your hands thoroughly, sanitizer is the next best option. But they're saying you need at least 60% alcohol as part of the solution. And the other brands, like a lot of the brands that people being, like that are being, you know, hoarded at the moment aren't meeting that requirement. Yeah. Because there are versions of Purell

and even Germ-X that are alcohol-free that are going flying off the shelves. But, you know, the CDC is still like, okay, like, you know, they'll help slow the growth of the bacteria, but won't kill it outright, which is kind of what the point is. But go on.

It's better than nothing. That's for sure. But it's not the one they're saying you need the most. And just some of the way the prices have jumped. So there's the Purell hand sanitizing wipes that used to be $11.88 in January, on Wednesday of last week, $79.99. Wait, who? Like Purell is doing the price gouging? No, no, no, no.

On Amazon, like for people who are selling it. Like independent sellers? Is Amazon like eBay? Do they have like independent? Well, I think they're trying to get a hold of it, but there's still people out here who are selling it for really ridiculous markups. By Wednesday night that night, it was up to $199.99. Yeah, I know. I paid it. And now it's completely sold out. But on the front of the package, it doesn't say it's alcohol-free, but on the back, if you look, it's an alcohol-free formula. So people are paying through their teeth. Wait, the Purell hand sanitizing wipes that people are paying $200 for?

Aren't even the fucking ones that have alcohol in it that the CDC is like, no, no, no, get your alcohol on. Right. Then the other one, Germ-X alcohol-free foaming hand sanitizer, sold that on Amazon. Prices were at $10 in mid-January. Last Friday, they were at 50 bucks. Damn. Also, alcohol-free.

Wow. Come on, y'all. So just just you know stop the hoarding please don't hoard don't price gouge like that's just come on yeah that's low low low low what?

there's like I was reading something about how you can like make your own yeah yeah which I don't know if that's like really janky but like you can use like an aloe vera gel and some kind of yeah like some kind of alcohol yeah you can make it with everclear if you want for sure that's just that's just lit i went to target recently and they were sold out and it was very eerie like i heard someone asked her like do you have hand sanitizer and then they were like no and then i just felt

like i was like ah i want to get out of here why would you even ask me like oh god it's a it's an odd feeling i think for americans in general to show up to any store and be like, things are gone? Am I in America? Yeah. All right. Let's talk about on to the next. Speaking of America, us Americans can't quit touching our faces, right? Human beings can't in general.

Hey, kids, you DTF one way. Don't touch face. That's how you should be. Jesus Christ. Call the dad police. Jesus. DTF. Were you writing that this morning?

No, I just thought of that. Dude, that's been marinating. Damn. Improv champion. When's your Herald team performing next? Yeah. I got cut. They cut me.

I'm like still, my head is spun from how amazing that joke was. No, there was like, and Wired, they were sort of putting together a lot of research that shows just in general, human beings, we have a compulsion. We have an instinct to touch our faces at all stages of life. In the womb, babies do it. In college students, just with medical students, they said, okay, let's just watch them during lectures. The average was touching your face every two and a half minutes. Um, and then there was like other studies in Germany, they were doing one to put sort of young adults like under stress. So they were doing like a memory test, but like blasting them with unpleasant sounds, like as they were doing this memory test. And they found that the people like

in these more, the stressful group ended up touching their faces a lot more yeah like nose cheeks chin and then like they're so they're saying okay so this spontaneous facial self-touch as they say it helps to like sort of regulate their emotions so add to that we're already in a stressful environment just with people being like hoarding shit thinking you know everywhere you go is just contaminated that we're already fighting an urge that we have even pets they even point to like cats and like dogs who like sleep with their paws it's just a natural it's like an animal instinct is it like i'm still here right yeah like in a way it's just like or it's soothing or like in the for a baby you're just like kind of figuring your face out i mean i, I sleep on my face. So like that's, you know.

Wait, face down? Yeah, I sleep face down. No, you don't. Yeah, I do. You really do? Yeah. Are you joking? Just mashed into the pillow or into my arm.

Yeah. Whoa, so you look like you're planking in bed? No, I'm like kind of to the side, but like. Oh, like cheek down. Okay, I thought you were straight nostrils on the mattress. But yeah, I like having something pressed against my face. Yeah. It's a weird thing to say.

No, I do that with pillows. I'll sandwich my head with pillows. That's how I like to sleep. And I definitely have like I'm a nail biter. Me too. This has been hard. All the worst thing. Yeah, it has been.

Yeah. I just wash the hell out of my hands and then bit my nails off so that I wouldn't have that. Just clip them. Nah. You still needed that sensation of nervously biting them off? Wow. Veronica, I'm sorry. Yeah.

I don't know what this guy's deal is. I used to really like to bite my nails, and it took a long time for me to overcome that. That's hard. I'm really bad with picking zits. Hey, we like pimple popping over here. I love it. I just almost touched my face, but it's like I walk past my mirror, and I'm like, hands down.

Unless you steep them in boiling alcohol first. Well, it's all right. Anyways, we're all going to die. Let's take a quick break, and we'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you.

Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120, she's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out?

I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

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 hey, here's a fun app for the kids. So it's a company named Pink Unicorn, and they have apps called One Direction Fan App. Love it. They got one EDM Fan App. Love it. They got one EDM Fan App. Love it. I mean, is this company just buying for kids? Because, I mean, they got also a Formula Racing app, probably.

Not for the kids. Yeah. The shorties fuck with that one. Yeah, kids love Formula, right? Yeah. Babies. Babies. Babies love Formula. But Motherboard, the Vice website,

I love formula. But Motherboard, the Vice website, found that those three apps are all collecting data in a way that's even more aggressive than Cambridge Analytica. Wait, what? And it actually shares code with a company called Banjo that is basically a surveillance app. So this is just a surveillance company creating an arm that is called Pink Unicorn. Uh-huh. Who makes these weird apps. Yeah, that just makes apps specifically designed to spy on children. What sort of info are they getting?

Just your social media information, like your logins. And then they're using your social media information to, I don't know. I think they're sharing it with the police. Great. So the kids can, so the police can investigate kids. Yeah, because you know kids are just a threat. Yeah, criminals. Oh, yeah.

High school students. Straight crims. They got to stop this vandalism. But is the content in the app even worth it? I feel like, I've probably downloaded an app and I was like, this shit sucks. I never delete it still. It's just a weird thing with apps. Still in the app even worth it? Like, I feel like, you know, I've downloaded an app and I was like, this shit sucks. I never delete it still. It's like just a weird thing with apps.

Still in the background, yeah. I don't know, I got 700 apps. Yeah, it's just one of those apps where like if you're a One Direction fan, you go in there and it's like, sign up with Twitter, sign up with Facebook, and like no other option. And so they're just like, okay.

Also like, who's fucking with one? Like One Direction is no longer. I know. Well, this was years ago. Oh, that they were just figuring out now that this shit has been cooking for a minute. Yeah. Wow. EDM fan app.

I feel like anyone who really likes EDM, you'd be like, this app is not for me. I'm having a hard time feeling bad for any of these people, but I'm just saying, it's gross. Yeah. But yeah, One Direction fan app, EDM fan app. I mean, they're probably-

What fan app? Their phones are just riddled with- What would you be susceptible to if you saw an app that said blank fan app? That's a great question, Miles. That you'd be like, oh, damn it.

Get your answer ready too, Veronica. My wheels are spinning, I don't know. Jaws 2. That's spot on, I think. Yeah. Actually for you. But what could it promise you? That or like JFK assassination fan app?

JFK assassination, yeah. That's for you. Bonner Manager. Bonner Manager fan app. Yeah. We're going to have him on. I'm going to do a whole bonus episode of Daily Zeitgeist where I just talk to Bonner Manager. Pickner Manager. Yeah. We're going to have him on. I'm going to do a whole bonus episode of Daily Zeitgeist where I just talk to Bonner Manager. Pick his brain.

Yeah. I think this whole show has been built so you could just have a conversation recorded with Bonner Manager. I did an episode of a show that I only did two episodes of for Stitcher Premium. Nobody listened to it. But it was about the JFK conspiracy theory and Bonner manager and now I want to actually talk to him on a show that people listen to. So I'm going to do that.

Oh, okay. What about you, Veronica? What's the app you download? In-N-Out fans. It's like my favorite food. You like In-N-Out that much? I love it. Wow. What's your order? Double-double grilled onion, no tomato. Get this extra lettuce. Extra lettuce.

Add a little bit of crunch. Wow. Oh, I touched my face. I got so excited. You're thinking about it. I always get, people think I'm out my wig, but I like a double double,

animal style, chopped chilies, with light fries. Crucify me. Light fries. Light fries. He likes soggy fries. Interesting. I didn't know this was the sort of environment I was walking into.. He likes soggy fries. Interesting. I didn't know this

was the sort of environment I was walking into. Cold brew and soggy fries. Welcome to my nightmare. Or your nightmare. If his fries can be the consistency of well done spaghetti that's what he prefers. Mom's spaghetti. Mushy. We call that mom's

spaghetti. Let me get those fries mom's spaghetti. Miles, what would you be susceptible to? It would probably be Arsenal fan app. Oh, right. Yeah, that makes sense. Or like, I don't know, like sick smoke ring tricks fan app. Do you still watch smoke ring videos?

Come on, man. Why the fuck am I on trial right now? Why can't you put me on trial? Yeah, I fuck with the little smoke ring apps here and there. Hey, man, Why the fuck am I on trial right now? Why can't you put me on trial? Yeah, I fuck with the little smoke ring apps here and there. Hey, man, some of these

tricks they do, I don't know how the fuck they do them. Especially when they do this shit where it's like a force push with the smoke ring and then blow another one in

between. I don't know. Yeah. It is cool. That's what I do. I sip my cold brew, eat my soggy fries, and watch vape smoke tricks.

I mean, I'm next to eating well-done fries watching zit-popping videos. It's fine. We can hang out. I like zit-popping. I like Dr. Pimple Popper. smoke tricks. I mean, I'm next to eating well-done fries watching zip-popping videos. It's fine. We can hang out. I like zip-popping. I like Dr. Pimple Popper. You know what I mean?

Well-done at. You watch Dr. Pimple Popper. You know what? Probably a Dr. Pimple Popper fan. Oh, 90 Day Fiancé fan. 90 Day Fiancé, yes. Oh, you're a fan too? Oh my God.

Miles has a whole show. Really? Okay, we need to have a conversation. For 20 Day Fiancé. Yeah, yeah. All right, let's talk about Quibi because there is a show that has uh been announced that i'm pretty excited yeah oh wait when you're talking about beekeeping i was thinking of anna mercelle from last season uh who is also a janky beekeeper oh really just the thing i wanted to

say a lot okay cool yeah quibby quibby are fucking there i think they might have a winner with this show yeah we've talked a lot about some of their other shows that are coming out. There's one like Idris Elba versus, what's his face? Ken Block, the fucking Gymkhana drifter driver. I'm like, okay, I guess that'd be interesting. We've talked about Barkitecture. I'm thrilled for that. Have you read about Barkitecture?

I've heard about it. I'm on board. Barkitecture sounds fine. That one seems a little bit more like. I'm on board with that one. That sounds like a Quibi thing because it sounds like a weird YouTube video I might watch. That is the one that I was most on board for before hearing about this one. Yeah.

This next one. Okay. From Endem All Shine. Okay. They have. It's a working title, but they have a show called Squeaky Clean in which three contestants battle it out over two rounds to be crowned a championed cleaner. So what they do is like I'm sure it's just disgusting messes. You got to clean the fuck up.

And then the judging round is like a white glove and black black light test. Wow. So like there I honestly think this is genius because there's like a whole subreddit called Oddly Satisfying. Oh yeah, I subscribe. And it's mostly, the best ones are people like, you know, steam cleaning a rug.

Do you watch power washing porn? Yes. Woo! Yo, when you watch somebody power wash a fucking driveway, and you're like, how? How, Sway?

How? Because it's, yeah, there's a whole, it's? How? Yeah, there's a whole different color. It's a whole different thing under there. It's a full transformation. Do we know what they're cleaning? Is it like airplanes? I think it's going to be, that's the beauty of it. It could be anything.

It could be anything. I bet they have like a car episode, like car cleaning episode. Oh my God. Yeah, they have a kitchen episode. They have a my room episode. Just getting your wheels. Closet. Closet episode would be great.

How would one get cast asking for myself? I love cleaning. I know. Oh, you're a good cleaner? I love cleaning. Oh, wow. I find it so satisfying

and soothing. Yeah. It's my favorite thing to do while listening to podcasts. Yeah, throw in a pod. Yeah. Throw in a pod. Or like I'll reward myself.

I'm like, I'll get high and clean. Right. Or I'll be like, so that way I'm not just sitting down. I'm like, okay, if I get high right now, I got to do a little cleaning as I do it. But there is something, man, to watch someone take the care into cleaning something. Right.

Because sometimes I'll be lazy with it. So you kind of want to live vicariously through a champion cleaner. Yeah. Is this bad for us? Are we just going to be sitting watching other people clean while our houses just go to shit around us?

This is the natural order of things. You know, like, you know, it's already, we're turning into a WALL-E type future. Just letting our hamster shit everywhere. We keep her very clean. I do have a question. Oh, hamster cage would be a good episode.

Okay, you go. Sign me up. Oh, and cleaning out the little tubes they run in. You have to smell them. Factory fresh. Not to be cynical, but do we think this is really just a way for cleaning brands to push

their product on us? I'm still going to watch it. I'm sure any smart entrepreneur is going to say brought to you by Clorox or some shit. But I don't know. It'd be great if they were brand agnostic and it's just about technique. It's not about the

products, it's about the technique, it's about the devotions, it's about the dedication. And I want an order of products. I wonder sometimes maybe I'm not reading correctly, you know? Right. Yeah, yeah. I feel like we'll learn something. Also, immigrant moms are going to love this show. Right. And be very critical of it too. I feel like we'll learn something also immigrant moms are gonna love this show right and be very critical

of it too I feel like my mom would be like they ain't cleaning like mom it's literally the cleanest thing ever I'm like they touch

it's like that's not how I would do it wait what is Edemol Shine Edemol Shine they just make a bunch of reality and take a production company

oh okay I thought it was like a cleaning product I assumed from the start that this was a who of brand of content. I don't think there was anyone attached to it yet. Mario Lopez probably. We can just assume.

That would fuck it up for me. No, you need someone better than that. You kind of want someone like... I think it has to be Tim Gunn. He would be fun. Cleaners, make it work. And then get to cleaning. Or Howie Mandel who suffers from OCD.

He absolutely should. It should be someone who has OCD because they're going to really look at it in ways that most of us might not be. Yes. All right. It's time to say adieu, a farewell, an RIP to America's butts. Yeah. Because the fast food industry is just getting too good. Too good or, I don't know, I'm frightened by it.

I mean, okay, look. First up, they have what they call the triple lupa. Triple lupa. Okay. Which is basically a trifurcated chalupa um and within it it's basically the longest tortilla you can just break apart in three sections and it has like each side like it it changes in sauce as you move from left to right so on the left you have cheesy sauce then you have cheesy chipotle sauce and then chipotle sauce. So it's a nice spectrum as you move along the chalupa.

I mean, fine. Yeah, but how are you supposed to, what side do you start on? Do you go from the top? Up to you. I think they just, they're like, they break apart real easily. So it's basically getting three mini chalupas for the price of one. Yeah, to be honest, this could just be how chalupas come in the first place. And like, they just like, are like, what if we didn't break them apart?

Right. Yeah, that just might be how they come in the packaging. Yeah, I'm not a big chalupa guy when it comes to Taco Bell. We all know I have my own order that I get there. Cheesy gordita? No. I'll get usually

Maxi Melts, Soft Taco Supreme, maybe Spicy Chicken Qesadilla. And then if I'm, you know, really into it, crunch wrap supreme. Okay. Yeah.

Okay. Do you fuck a Taco Bell? Obviously. And? And what sayest thou of your order? I'm a crunch wrap supreme hoe. Oh, okay.

Till I die. Crunch wrap supreme hoes in the building. And then I can't tell you how many times I've woken up in the morning with just a purse full of hot sauce packets from Taco Bell. Like I cannot be restrained. You don't remember how they got there.

You're just like a Taco Bell werewolf. For for sure but is it like maybe it's like the sickness in me like i would try that oh i'm trying yeah okay okay i never all this is say i'm gonna try it yeah yeah i'm just like it's not my usual order so it's gonna take a little more brave like you know courage from me you're gonna have to be feeling brave i'm gonna feel like a big boy that day um and then this next one okay mcdonald's i think is now this one is just too much right they've announced two new big macs okay one is a little mac which is basically one all beef patty special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onion on a sesame seed bun but there's no middle bun and that extra patty it's just like okay what if you only need have the appetite for the top half of a big mac you just have the appetite for a mac yeah for a

mac yeah then they have this motherfucker called the double mac it is for all beef patty so each layer they've now just added another patty so you got a four beef patty fucking hamburger i hope you can unhinge your jaw to eat this. But they also, they fucked up the balance. What do you mean? Well, there's only one piece of cheese still. So I need a piece of cheese per

level, I think, for this to work. Per level or per patty? Per patty. So normally they have one per every two patties. I think you gotta give me two pieces of cheese at least for this. I wouldn't mind four pieces of cheese, but that's just me. I wouldn't mind either. I've recently become a big fan.

Like after grilling out, like I'm a huge fan of American cheese. It's underrated. It melts great. It melts so good. It has no flavor. It melts unlike any naturally occurring substance. Right. Like it's just.

Because it's not naturally occurring. Right. It's not naturally occurring. Yeah, this is. Do you eat it with a knife and fork? Like I really am curious. I don't know. Like would you.

What's the largest sort of custom hamburger you've ever had at In-N-Out? I usually get a three by three. You'll get a three by. See, I think four by is probably the most I'll do when you do four patties. Okay. Yeah, you can do up to. And they do four cheese. Yeah.

Oh, I didn't know that. They do four cheese. Oh, yeah, you can add patties. You just be like, I want a five by. The football players in my high school would do like five to six bys. But like. Wow. And it never ended up as a thing you could eat as a sandwich, like a burger.

It'd be like you'd either squish the fuck out of it. Right. And it just looks like, what the fuck is that now? Right. Or you would have to just like split it in half. I just don't know whose mouth is big enough for this

to take a human bite out of. It just feels like they just want us to die. Yeah. You know? Yeah. Well, that's, I mean, that is,

like this is, we've talked before about how this is where our best scientists are going. Yeah. Is to, you know, ways to monetize addictive food that people can't stop eating. Yeah. It's like what our best scientists are dedicated to instead of, you know, the problem.

Odd enough. Like also our other best scientists are like, we need to stop eating shit like this, too. Right. But then it's like, yeah, but it's cheap. Right. Our best, most greedy scientists, I should say. Right. But then it's like, yeah, but it's cheap. Right. Our best, most greedy scientists, I should say.

Our best scientists who aren't greedy motherfuckers are, yeah, trying to help people. But I would love to just, just a day with some of these people.

I want to see like, like the file cabinet full of all the shelved ideas. Yeah. That's a, that's a fucking podcast. That's a quickie show. That's a, whoo! Shelved, shelved fast food ideas. shelved fast food Yeah. That's a fucking podcast right there. That's a Quibi show. That's a Quibi show.

Shelved fast food ideas. Yeah, shelved fast food ideas. Like, it would call it, we've come so close. Yeah, fast food labs would be a fucking great. Yeah. Great. Great.

Yeah, it was the closest full moon two nights ago. What do you mean closest?

Closest full moon of the year. Oh, like to our skies, our planet. Yeah, biggest full moon. There was also, for, you know, sky zeitgang, there was a... Sky gang. There was a single light in the sky like at dusk last night

that I was trying to figure out if it was a plane or like a star or a planet that was just at the right angle. Let me know if you guys know the answer to that. Is there a really bright star right now? Is there a planet? Is there an airplane just hovering in the sky? Are my glasses dirty? Yes, could be that too. Gabe Delahe tweeted,
