And welcome to Season 227, Episode 1 of the Daily Zeitgeist, a production of By Heart Radio. This is the podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness. It's Monday, March 7th, 2022. You know what that means. It's the day my parents split up, y'all. March 7th. I remember it very well. If you remember a couple years ago, I called my dad on this day to ask him how he felt about it.

And it was a real heart-to-heart. Go back to that episode. About maybe two years ago. But anyway, shout out to my parents who get along now. And everybody's living their best life. But I will never forget. Break Your Neck by Busta Rhymes was playing on the radio. And my dad pulled the car over at a park to be like, hey, let me holler at you real quick.

Now. All childhood trauma aside bus the bus break your neck too i mean whenever i hear that song it's weird i have a visceral reaction of course my dad is telling me he has another welcome welcome it wasn't a whole family don't worry but welcome my name is miles gray aka hey i'm andre agassi and this is crazy but this ain't my hair because i'm balding maybe it's hard to win slams when your wig's failing but this ain't my hair because i'm balding maybe okay shout out to johnny davis on the discord we were talking about andre agassi's like wig that he used to wear and play with while competing in professional tennis and apparently it almost cost him a grand slam final because his wig was uh not agreeing with him so anyway keep your wigs on point, everybody, especially if you're competing at the highest levels of tennis.

I am thrilled to be joined today by my guest co-host. The people who, when I was out, you're like, man, just make this person. Just replace this person. And I was like, hey, you know, I could use a break. But for real, this is one of my favorite people to have on. Their media takes, infallible.. Their media takes infallible. Their movie tastes infallible. Their sneaker game tastes, their hit game, bonkers.

Stepping the game up, yes. Exactly. You know her from, you know, any, I mean, producing damn near every hit podcast out there. You know, a media critic in her own right. Please welcome the brilliant talented hilarious and my wonderful friend joelle monique you know her as the marvel defender aka the purple lipstick dawn what's up i feel like why doesn't everyone just call beyonce's hair person if beyonce can have six fans on her and be flipping upside down and sweating for two and a

half hours straight you can play a tennis match right and still look fly true i wonder do you think it's like like she probably has all like the top wig people cornered like on contracts you're like you don't fuck with anybody else's except mine you know what i mean and that's why i don't think black women move like that like it's it's very in our dna be like, you need a hair person? I got six braiders. What kind of style are you trying to do? This one does it best, but this one does it cheapest. We're ready. We're constantly stacked. We don't really hoard our hairstyles unless we don't like that bitch.

In which case, she can have it. This is what I'm saying, though. I'm sure on some level, I wonder how many people Beyonce's been through and they just know one thing and they're like, oh, that person's gone. I do feel like Beyonce is like, you don't fuck up up the hair like i mean she grew up in a hair salon i once saw her cut an angled bob in like in the moment like not a plan like okay we're gonna cut and probably about she just picked up some scissors and was like straight down i was like what are

you doing and then it turned out amazing like at an event or this is a behind the scenes video from me myself and, and I. You can see her. She has the longer wig on. And then she's like, you know what? This really needs to be an angled bob. And she does it in two seconds. She's just standing up while they're fixing a light in the background.

It was so impressive. Oh, my God. Why doesn't she put that as part of her show? She has a fan come on stage. She's like, I'm going to give you a new look. What are you feeling today? Child, oh, God. Can you imagine if Beyonce was doing hair

like Miss Tina? I can see your halo. Miss Tina on stage. She's singing Halo and cutting your hair. I'd watch it. I would love to see it. Absolutely. And who's that? Oh, we know who that is. This is Virginia's very own

legendary comedian. You might know him from various. I mean, if you've seen stand up anywhere, chances are you've probably seen this man. And if not, maybe if you've kept your eye on the YouTube and Internet videos, you might know him from his award winning series Thug Notes as Sparky Sweets. I don't know. Maybe you do. Maybe you don't. Maybe you heard him on this show. Maybe you've seen his wonderful art. This man is not just a comedian. He is a talented visual artist as well. He got a whole redlining series. That's amazing. Taking historical people, very significant black figures and talking about the neighborhoods they're from and showing how redlining has affected it.

It's wonderful. How could you not have this art if you give a fuck and you're socially aware? Please welcome today's guest, the brilliant, talented and somebody i've known for ages now it's wild to see us reconnect here as on a podcast but please welcome greg edward oh yeah hey thank you man that's hella sweet man no man congratulations on your wedding thank you i mean which is wild because i met my wife on YouTube Nation when we first met. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She was one of the producers on there. So this was like, look at us come off.

Look, look, I got one. I've been married. It'll be a year in April. I got one tip. People always say don't go to bed. What's that tip? People always say don't go to bed. What's that tip? People always say, don't go to bed angry, but that's bullshit. You're going to go to bed angry.

That's just going to happen. Don't even sweat that shit. The real tip is bring food home all the time. Yes. Always bring. I don't care. Bring a pizza. Bring some Thai food.

If you're coming home and your wife is at the crib bring some food home dog that's it always I I'm always like whenever the thing I do is always like find uh like she she likes chocolate so I always try and buy like chocolates when I'm out if I see some like interesting candy bar I'm like let me get that let me bring that home real quick that's how you know the love is still there when you think about something like that i just want you to have this like you deserve this you deserve this and and please don't mind the fact that the new gran turismo game just came out and my ps5 is calling my name that's not why i bought this i'm just saying please keep this in mind when i vanish for hours at a time screaming because my toyota yaris isn't performing the way i needed to in the

corners all that to say to have quiet time she's like yeah for real oh go in there go in there boy go i mean i don't know do you get this greg like b i don't know how on you are but there i have like you know as a comedian sometimes i'm i get in the mood and i can't stop being like silly and there are times where she's like hey can you just shut the fuck up my wife is always like shut up i think it's cute that y'all think that's because you're comedians hilarious i'm an immature boy who still likes to just talk nonsense nonstop. It's really what it is.

I think the difference is some people leverage that into somewhat of a career and don't. And then you use the excuse, I'm in comedy, rather than I don't know when to shut up. I get paid to do this, girl. Yeah. You like that steak? Why are you telling me to shut up? Oh, man. Okay.

steak why are you telling me this practice oh man okay well see this is why joel is here to keep us grounded and also keep us realizing we ain't shit true story true indeed actually before we talk to greg we got to talk about what we're talking about first we're going to talk about how porn hub and only fans have ended up being a unlikely source of information for russian people trying to learn more about what is happening we'll also talk about this lady that kidnapped herself uh-oh and then got caught i mean the audacity it's but you see it a lot in this country and uh remember that american trucker convoy when they were like yeah man we need the trucker convoy here. Well, I forgot about it already because nothing fucking happened with that. And we'll talk about how sad that shit ended up. And then we'll debunk another myth coming out of Ukraine.

Unfortunately, sadly, I know everybody loved retweeting this shit, but Ukrainians are not actually selling Russian tanks on eBay. OK, we'll get into that but first greg what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are all right uh sydney portier passed away recently right so i love sydney that's one of the reasons i got into like the acting game and i found one of his uh his movies uh paris blues on youtube i don't know if a lot of people have seen paris blues they have not it's paul newman's in it diane carroll is in it and it's all about jazz louis armstrong is in it it's black and white i love black and white films and it's just a dope movie it's it's if you watch the movie today it talks about a lot of the issues

that's going on right now. And it's just beautiful. And, yeah, I watched that movie the other day. That's like one of the last. It's like on one of my tabs right now. Right. And I love jazz. I'm a jazz dude. I don't even.

I listen to jazz probably more than anything right now. Really? Yeah. Anything. Okay. Jazz. Like any specific artists, trios, quartets? Mostly old school bebop jazz.

You know, I mean, of course, I mean, Coltrane, Miles, Cannonball, Adderley. I just, you know, I'm just, I'm old, man. I can't be driving down the street listening to Shoot a Nigga Up, Shoot a Nigga Up. And I get mad because I'm just going to be, I can't be driving to LA listening to that because I'm just going to be angry. So I got to listen to something cool. Well, there's a time and a place. There time in a place there is a time in a place you know sometimes you're about to go into a pitch meeting i need to get all that like like big shit big talk energy like in your veins and

that's when you do but then sometimes you just try like la is a dope place to just drive around you just pop in some felonious monk and like drift i feel that too that's what i'm about like drift racing huh not actually i thought you're like yo are you when he said i may just drift into some felonious like one hand low on the steering wheel not racing you're like yo i'm doing i'm shutting the intersection down with these slideshows hell yeah yeah city portier is a revelation though like seeing him like just walk and like Whoa Blasting Monk out the car Hell yeah City Portier is a revelation though Seeing him just walk and stand

Oh yeah You can't see a black dude carry themselves like that Ever I came to Paris Blue so late I got introduced to Lilies of the Field or Blackboard Jungle First and then My dad turned me on to in the

heat of the night where he slaps a dog shit out of a police officer y'all that you a man in the 50s and a tight suit just backhanded like a white southern racist officer it gives you strength it feels real good i heard that wasn't in the script either he wasn't supposed to do that oh shit this man can't take me in a fight so i'm gonna just do it because then you have to ask the studio if it's in the script studio's gonna be like white people aren't gonna like that so you gotta do it in the moment you're like how about i meet you the back of my hand um sorry man i went off book there i went off my bad my bad joe Sorry, man. I went off book there.

I went off book. My bad, Joe. A character just gets at you sometimes. It's method. It happens. It happens. You know what I love, though, too? You found the whole movie on YouTube. The whole thing.

Yeah. It's always pleasant when you find a whole fucking movie on YouTube. You're like, fuck, I don't know who has this. And you're like, I guess the studios really don't give a fuck about this right because this is in hd it's like uploaded uh always a pleasant surprise okay moving on what's something greg you think is overrated celebrity breakups i'm tired of it tired of talking about it this shit is this kanye shit with kim it's like everybody forgot about their breakups you know what I'm saying? Every time I watch Kanye do some shit like date a girl that looks just like Kim, it just makes me think about my ex.

After Jasmine broke up with me, I went searching for Jasmine replacements. You know what I'm saying? I've been there, dog. I know that feeling. And it's sad. I don't want to think about that. Was that in the time of social media where you could even post it like, ah, look at me, Jasmine. I'm with my new Jasmine. Facebook was around.

But I won't do it. But, I mean, we all got that energy, though, of, like, doing dumb breakup shit. And it's just sad, man. That ain't cute. Well, I think also, too, like, there's also this whole dimension that's missing of, like, being like, yeah, what Kanye West is doing is actually, like, criminal, you know, based on what Kim is saying and what, like,

what her interactions with him have been. And also, like, we suddenly forgot, you're like, this man is struggling with his mental health. Yeah, dog. Man, look at him. He's sloppy. You're like, it's a little bit deeper than that. It's also interesting for our world, so, like, help Ben Tong, like, look at what we did to britney it was awful we have like multiple documentaries about it right they're like oh but also do that shit to kanye because it's fun it's

like it's weird to see the analysis and the practice happening in the exact same time without any awareness of each other i think it's just like that's where misogyny works against him right where it's suddenly like they're like wow look that guy's just doing what he wants to do. And there's like no, you know, that would never enter the conversation. Whereas I feel like with Brittany is like a lot of concern, trolly, shame kind of stuff. And now you have because like really everybody said is like he needs less. Yes, people around him. He needs less shitty improvisers to quit.

Yes. And in his like worst ideas but i guess that's where that shit takes you wasn't there some there's some video what was the headline about him having a video where like pete davidson is being like buried alive this is new money with the game he decapitates pete davidson but that's off screen and then just holds his head it's's breakup shit. How many times have you decapitated their new man in effigy?

I wrote poems about my ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend. Eminem did it. We talked about it on the show yesterday. It's just him on TV. It's like, come on, man. Get to do some space. Yeah, I'm trying to think of when I

whenever I go through a bad breakup or when I was like my last bad breakup, I just I was just like, I remember driving around like playing the weirdest music with tears in my eyes. You called Olivia Rodrigo, I feel it. Yeah, and see, I didn't have that back then.

Olivia, I could have used you in 2007, but you weren't around yet yeah you may have been barely born i think i needed you instead i had smashing pumpkins melancholy and the infinite sadness and uh and a few other on the apple and shit yeah if you own an apple there was like one there was like this one fucking what song was it by nelly furtado that like i don't know i just made it a breakup is it i'm like a bird no you know have you ever just made a song a breakup song yeah you read way too much of your in your feelings you put way too much uh emotion behind lyrics that don't mean what you're feeling but it matches it's close enough yeah it was like that song it's like so afraid of what you're feeling but it matches it's close enough yeah it

was like that song it's like so afraid of what people might say but that's okay because you're only human remember that song that was on the album that had uh say it right on it where it's it was on that same album yeah and that one i was like okay that that, like, anything was saying, like, you don't know in my mind. I'm like, you don't know the pain I'm in right now, girl. And then this other one, I just made it my own breakup song. And I'm like, I don't even know how. But anyway, shout out to him. We need a breakup mixtape.

Just everybody's, your favorite friends' breakup songs. Right. Mixtape. That'll be dope. But also, like, but only tracks that aren't seen as friends breakup songs right mixtape that'll be but also like but only tracks that aren't seen as traditional breakup songs be so that's what that's what i'm really interested i'm like what have you co-opted to be a breakup song and recontextualized because that i think is the the underrated quality of of pain me myself myself, and I, Joelle was just talking about it. That's like, that's

one of my, uh, oof, that's a breakup one for me. That hurts. Oh, yeah. I like that one. That one gives you power, though, walking out. You just be like, fine then. I got it. I'll take my shit and go. Right. Meanwhile, I'm still, like, crying listening to Tyrone

somehow. Come on! I'm like, I to tyrone somehow i'm like i need tyrone she's talking to me um all right greg what's something you think is underrated i think olives are underrated i think brooms are underrated wow i think oh i think oatmeal is hella underrated. There's so many things that's underrated, dog. Wow. Hold on. Yeah, first, I mean, olives, I feel like they're probably, are you saying we have

new uses for olives that we're not thinking about? I just don't think olives get the love that they deserve, man. Olives are so fucking bomb. Just like, I mean, the olive oil is bomb. Top of the line on you can just dip it in bread i mean come on that's just like and then the olive as a as an olive is just bob too you eat that with pastrami and meat or just eat it by itself man it's just so good what's your favorite

kind of olive i like them black ass juicy olives you know what the nut is like hella small and the nut don't even take the meat off with it it's just it's just the nut is like hella small and the nut don't even take the meat off with it it's just it's just the nut just comes off I like the black and them dark purple ones the kalamata yeah you got the names okay what are you an olive fan too Joel?

no I work at a pizza place we had different kind of olives I don't like olives you don't like olives? no listen at first I was gonna doubt it We had different kind of olives. I don't like olives. You don't like olives? No. Listen, at first I was going to doubt it because I was like, olives are weird to me because I don't know how they ended up in alcohol. I don't know why that became a decision. And I think that unless they're like super finely chopped and mixed into something, almost like an anchovy.

I don't want to discern that I'm consuming an anchovy but if it's like cut up into something oh my god it's pretty tasty i feel the same way about olives but then you mentioned olive oil which is like the king of like cooking oils yeah and then i got it i was like listen just on the strength of olive oil alone yes the olives underrated how how it supports the base of your entire like not just italian kitchens but like american kitchens. Everybody. You need it. We need it. Yeah. Unless you're cooking. Look, unless you're frying, you know, because it can't do high temperature.

True. That's true. No, you know, that's a job for peanut oil or canola, depending on your preference. Yeah. I love olives. I like, I really like these. I had these Spanish olives that are stuffed with anchovies. Nice.

That are really good. That, like, someone from Spain was like, you got to fuck with our olives and i was like okay sure and i'm like damn this is all i want to eat and like to the point about it being at a bar love a dirty martini i love a little bit of olive brine i love i think i'm just i think i just hooked on salt to be honest let's just do a lemon yeah what can you do what can you do and also brooms why did you say brooms are under i'm like i feel like they're useful are you serious we don't i mean i mean i've been sweeping my whole life right and if you think about it brooms have been around for a long time but it's only relatively recently in history that we get the like six foot tall pole so we don't have to

bend over while we sweep right and i think really again just on the strength of that pole and not having to do backbending labor to try to sweep your floors i mean yeah also a push broom i hear something for the push broom you're like damn why did we invent vacuum got it unlock it's fine push brooms like they don't i mean i love i love a broom dog i got like four. It's fine. Push bro's like, they dope. I mean, I love a broom, dog. I got like four. Yeah. Okay. So what's your method for getting in a dustpan?

Oh, I got, man, I mean, I got like an iron, like a steel. You know, like you got that, the shit you cook with. Cast iron skillet? Yeah, cast iron skillet. I got a cast iron dustpan. What? For outside use only. And then I got some plastic ones and then I got like a,

like a carry dustpan. Cause I like, okay. But you know what I'm talking about? Right? Right. When you get to the dustpan, you'll get most of it to the,

to the lip of the dustpan. Then you move the dustpan. Then there's that thin little bit that didn't quite get it. I got like, what's your, I got like a little broom, like a little broom. Like a little thing.

Wow. Like a dirt devil just prepared. Like a little thing and it just gets all that. Okay, whip it up with the broom. Yeah, I love a good broom. And you know what's kind of funny? When you

live with somebody and you see that they have no broom skills, that's fucking sad. That's, like, you're really, you're telling on yourself. When you see somebody. You're like, people, they just start in the middle of the floor instead of, like, hitting an edge. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm like, what's those big-ass motions? Like, you're not pushing it bit by bit. You're just, like, out here, like, painting the floor with a fucking broom.

Now there's dust everywhere. It's completely defeating the purpose of why you started this task in the first place. Yeah. I guess I remember seeing like one of my first roommates, like, you know, you know, it's time to clean the apartment or whatever. And they were fucking up on broom. Like as if I'm like Miles Davis leading a fucking quintet or something. I'm like, motherfucker fucking up on base. It's like, yo, you know the chart.

Now let's go with it. Fucking up on broom. Fucking up on broom. I like yo you know the chart now let's go with it fucking up on broom i was like this is fucked up and it was so the second i saw him i said this this person ain't shit they hadn't they didn't have to do shit in their life they never worked a fucking day and they're like fucking around on broom like that it changes the game man i know look and i'm, I'm getting all excited about brooming talk. That's that old man shit you married now, dog. Yeah. Well, also, I think, you know, you said you've been like sweeping your whole life.

I remember very quickly just being yelled at from my, like, both sets of grandparents on my broom skills as a kid. This is a very black slash immigrant slash black immigrant experience of being like, you don't know how to like clean your space what's going on it's weird and look you know I see many broom styles out there but all I need to say is don't be caught out there lacking on your broom skills because you will be judged you will be judged

it's so easy it's so it's I don't even know and I get it if you have mobility issues that's one thing but broadly like I really need to know if you don't have broom skills, what happened? I blame it on your mama. And I don't want to go there. But you know what? We just did. That's your mama fault. I know it's your mama fault. Look at you on the broom like that. It's your mama fault. Like what? Like I grew up. And I'm like, that's still your mom's fault. Okay, well, that's a mistake.

Anyway, all right, we'll be right back and we'll talk about some news right after this. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church.

How do you feel about biscuits? 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. It's right here in black and white in print. A 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?

option he's not eating breakfast yeah he's like, this is not a restaurant. Oatmeal is the shit, man. Oatmeal is so good. Keep your cholesterol low. It's good, man. How do you eat? You just eat it plain? What do you do to zhuzh it up?

I mean, I put a little sugar in mine. That's it. That's it. Is it brown sugar or just white sugar? Straight up Caucasian sugar. He's like, straight up Splenda. Yo!

I love brown sugar. Brown sugar, like black women, sometimes it's just like, oh girl, you too fine. I gotta put some of this. There's too much going on, girl. I gotta scale back and go back. Jesus! Thank you, Tony Braxton, out of here.

I got to put some of this white sugar up here. God. Girl, you're too much. Oh, shit. Too much brown sugar. Anyway, shout out to all the oatmeal people out there. That's definitely my dad included also. Hell yeah.

Man, what is it about oatmeal? It's bomb. It's easy, too. it's just hot water and oh yeah that's it you ever put milk in it just to give yourself a little bit of a luxury meal a little bit you know i'll put some oat milk in there keep it oh you know okay okay i like it just straight up hot water and sugar. Yeah. All right. Well, shout out to the National Association of Oatmeal Makers for sponsoring that segment. But now let's move on to the anti-war efforts of adult performers. So Russia has restricted news from the outside at a pretty aggressive rate. You know, they're part like they're doing everything they can to keep people from understanding all the dimensions of this invasion. There was recently a bill that was

passed that could potentially land Russians in jail for up to 15 years if they tweet out of pocket about the war. And we've seen thousands of people arrested for protesting. So basically, these people are living in an information desert where the only things that are sort of readily available to you are traditional propaganda channels. Facebook has been restricted. I think Twitter has been like basically blocked. Also, independent news is inaccessible. The BBC has like reintroduced their shortwave radio like in World War Two. So people can get some kind of information. like in World War II, so people can get some kind of information.

But the one place that is still able to offer people a glimpse into what is happening is on sites like Pornhub and OnlyFans. You know, there was an effort of people to do things like go into Yelp on Russia and leave reviews and post pictures of what was happening in Ukraine or going on Google Maps and posting in Google Maps, but then Google kind of locked, shut that kind of activity down. So now we're seeing some Russian and Ukrainian adult performers using the platforms to like upload vlogs, like on their OnlyFans, that's like a live to the, to the date, to the moment updates about like what they're going through in Kiev or other parts of

Ukraine. And in some instances on Pornhub, people are just uploading straight up footage, like news footage of what's happening just to be like, there's a video site that the Russian government hasn't completely cracked down on. Check this out. And it seems to be somewhat effective, you know, because people are kind of paying attention now. How many of those people are actually viewing this content from Russia, you know stands to be known it's still unknown to this point but it's one of these things that we're kind of seeing many people having to get a little bit more creative with how they're

able to get content out and i'm just saying like you know what we owe sex workers another one there somebody was saying the other day and i'm sorry that i can't remember who it was on twitter but they were talking about how in times of crisis sex workers are typically the best advocates because they're so frequently in crisis and under threat of like imprisonment and so they have like these systems that work almost autonomously now already set in place for like notification and legal aid and all kinds of other things so sex workers really putting it down and sex workspace really holding down the fort for us in these difficult times as always i mean i'm sorry to be this dude but uh what about the safe space for jerk offers what if you try to what if you're russian right are you ukraine like man i just need to get one out you know

i need the politics out of here and he's like oh man i can't go nowhere you know but do we think that's on the main page though i feel like you gotta search for it i clicked on sexy stepmom teaches man a lesson. And I am now seeing tanks roll into cities. They're like, you know, and unfortunately, I think the jerk offers, unfortunately, are not the allies that we need to be in alliance with in this instance. But it's even wild to think, too, because we don't we're still not really sure what the real or how widespread the anti-war sentiment is in Russia. We definitely see people protesting and there are protests. Is it arriving to like the, you know, hundreds of thousands of people or millions? Not quite. But that's also because the government is very repressive and will just beat the fuck out of you for for getting out there. And you do see a lot of instances where a lot of people, you know, I saw this one headline of this Russian woman who was stranded in Ukraine once the invasion began,

and she was calling her mom in Russia and her mother in Russia did not believe what she was saying because of what she was seeing on TV. And she's like, I'm your daughter. She's like, no, no, no, that's not what they're saying on TV. Wow. And so there's even those kinds of things to overcome. It's just it'll be interesting to see like how all of this evolves. But again, this isn't to speculate on what the outcome is domestically. What a bad relationship, right? You call your mom up and she's like, that's not what they're saying on CNN. She's like, you did this last time. Every time you He said, what? You need to borrow 500 bucks, too? Because a war broke out?

You did this last time, Julia. We're not doing it again. Wow. I don't know. I don't know what it is. I think it's a few things where older generations of Russians have definitely, through the generations, seen how bad it can be to speak out and go against what sort of like the state sponsored narrative is but you but it's mostly the you see a lot of younger people who i think are kind of just like i'm really having trouble seeing what my future is in this country and maybe this is an opportunity to speak out but yeah still very scary and thoughts and prayers

for all those people around the world facing global strife because it's not just there okay let's talk about something a little bit lighter which is the story of sherry papini you guys hear about this you heard about sherry papini i've not heard about this okay well back in 2016, she went missing in early November of 2016. There was a huge search, manhunt to try and find her and maybe the people responsible for her kidnapping. She popped up on the side of a road 22 days later, about 150 miles from her home. She had injuries from being bound. She looked believably, like, injured. She apparently had a branding scar on her shoulder. And people were relieved.

And then law enforcement began their search for the kidnappers. And they were coming up short, just trying to figure out who could have done this. We're not seeing a lot of ways to figure out how to, like, triangulate and bring these people in. Even though she gave a very vague description of two hispanic women with bandanas over their faces that kidnapped her then last week they made an arrest and it was sherry papini herself for staging her own damn kidnapping and it turns out she made all that shit up and was staying with an ex voluntarily as the search went on for her in 2016. And the thing that they're saying in these in these articles about it is the FBI showed up in 2020.

Right. And they said, hey, we're having a lot of trouble, like, like corroborating your story. And in fact, I'm going to be real. We have we have more evidence that suggests you may have been involved with this and she did the normal thing that any scumbag liar would do and doubled down on that shit even though they said before you answer now before you have to remember lying to a federal investigator is a crime so i'm gonna just say one more time lying is a crime and i'm telling you we have evidence that you may be involved now Now, do you want to change your story? She said, nope, it was them. I don't know what to say.

And they got her. She's now facing 20 years in prison. And not just for the wasted resources of people trying to find her. She was also grifting money from the California Victims Compensation Board. This bitch. And she got $30, 30 000 but this is my thing was it what was this all for because you only they're saying she only grifted she was only able to get 30 000 pay it out over the last couple years and now she could be going to jail for i

mean i don't know like she's blonde and blue-eyed i don't know if they you don't have to say that yeah i know i know i know but for everyone just to reiterate you know they say maximum but when the defendant is sherry papini that looks like it might be a bit of a minimum of sentencing but i don't know i mean like what what do you think compels somebody to do? Is it just the idea of being at the focal point of everybody's concerns? Like, you know, or is it or truly just feeling like, oh, I can get one over. I don't know what's happening in Sherry's life at this time. I can understand you as a desperate shit for 30K, though. There was a time in my life $200 was like transformative I could really be doing some stuff this week amazing that being said you also pulled

the racism and you stole from folks who uh really could use what little funds are available to them yeah actual victims right I think I think 20 years is excessive but i'm a prison abolitionist so maybe that's shit to people but i sherry there are better ways go you are blonde and you have go grift a man okay how much money you need they'll give it to you like figure it out i don't think i think hiding in line to the fbi not worth the risk, girl. Not worth it. I think, all right. She need that attention. You know, that's the sad part. She did it strictly for attention.

I mean, 30 grand over how many years? Was that three years? Five? Or four? Four years? 2017 to 2021. I mean, what's that? It's like seven, three, five a year. You know what I mean? You know, it's all right. It's all right. I'm just saying I'm going to knock it.

house in the middle of Atlanta for 12 years. The night shift. Real hard time. I want you to work there. The night shift. 12 years. Your shift starts when the clubs let out.

That's when your shift starts. You have the most active version of the restaurant. That's your black mirror type prison type shit. You know what I mean? Because that's even how I felt. Right.

With Aunt Becky. Right. And the whole USC pay for my kid to get in college thing. It's like, no, like, I don't. It's not prison. That's going to really affect these people. It's like you need to take away their creature comforts and have them toil like everybody else has to. And that, I think, maybe will generate a little more empathy than being like, I don't know, I'm in this federal prison and it's kind of great.

My bunkmate is actually my accountant's ex-wife. It's really wild. Yeah, you get all the time to read and lift weights. Yeah. lift weights yeah and you know it's like that's what i think i maybe feel like maybe that's how you get conservatives on board with like changing the judicial system it's like nah man we're gonna turn up the punishments to be more things that actually feel like they're we don't need jail we need just to teach lessons like a old grandfather would hell yeah but you know without the carceral system very tricky tricky road. Very tricky road.

I need you to cut grass. Right? With scissors. Nah, I want you to be able to do it for real, just regular cut grass, but all the grass. Oh, wow. Okay. She's like,

you have to mow the grass at every public park in the state until that's done um we will see you there yeah just producer just said yeah conservatives endorsing forced labor sounds like you go wrong in just about every way rich white people won't be the ones doing it hey you're right just you're right pull us back pull us back you're like no no that's what we're talking about fine fine fine i just i want like 33 of that that that's a whole 100 yeah or just like you know give like uh oppressed people like a punishment board that they run where like rich white offenders they're at the mercy of like oppressed people and be like okay what do you want to cook up for this person

it's not jail it's not jail hmm you stole this from children okay let me think white people will be terrified yeah they're gonna enslave us now this is a reverse racism that's oh yeah we don't want to to explain. We way more creative than that. I would watch that show. But they don't know that. They don't realize that. They would be like, these are death panels of brown people. You know?

That's how they would spin it. Totally. I totally watch that show. Y'all don't want to do reparations. That's better than 90 Day Fiance right there. Honestly, reality TV show producers, you can have that one for free. Oh, yeah. Do it.

It's a great show. Just really think that one for free. Oh, yeah. Great show. Just really think. I'm like, okay. Like, ways, just the creative way to abolish prisons. But it's people who have never actually had to account for their crimes. They do. And they go to this very creative group of punishers. Okay.

Side spinners. You just spin inside. Side spinners. Yeah. And the hottest intersection in the country you're like the cars don't even go here you're like yeah that sucks huh keep spinning that sign because there is a gyroscope on that thing and if you don't do 3 000 flips you're not going home today you gotta clean the amc bathroom after the next Marvel movie. Right, exactly.

I'm all about this. This is my deep, dark shit. But all we're saying is, it's like saying, wealthy people, you actually have to do wage work. But that's the dream. What if they actually had to know what it was like? Right. And then they come out, they're like, this is terrible. They're doing this for $10 an hour?

We got to do something. And by that, he's like, we need to lobby our senators to get rid of this program. I don't ever want to do that again. Waffle House, Atlanta, 9pm to 4am. Let me see how you get there. Just keep it safe. Your shift starts at 11.

11pm to 11 to 7. You're off to what, like 4? No, you're doing a whole 8. Come on now. 11 to 7 you're off by what like 4 no you're doing a whole 8 come on now 11 to 7 waffle house don't give you a full 8 because you're not getting benefits so you can max go 7 ok so 11 to 6 fine you got us there

nice end around on the labor labor protections I worked many a minimum wage me too I've been Nice end around on the labor protections. I worked many a minimum wage. Me too. I've been down. Yeah.

It's wild too. Yeah, because they're like, well, an hour is actually your lunch. And we're not paying for that. An hour is so grateful. So grateful. You have 30 minutes in your time since the second you punch that clock. But you cannot eat on the floor. You got to go six floors up. It'll take you at least seven minutes.

So good luck. Get back on time or you're fired. They're like, watch me eat on the floor you gotta go six floors up it'll take you at least seven minutes so right luck get back on time or you're fired they're like watch me eat on the sales floor all right don't give a fuck let's eat my sandwich in the hallway it's fine all right let's talk about the american trucker convoy because ever since a bunch of losers shut down ottawa in canada with their trucks and oppressed person cosplay performance that they did. Many conservatives in the U.S. thought, you know what? This could be good for our conservative people who want to do pretend oppressed people flash mobs out in the streets. And maybe this is our moment to show Joe Byron what's up. Now, Rand Paul called for a trucker convoy to block the Super Bowl.

He's like, I think it'd be a great idea to see that here. Actually, we need the truckers to do that here to send a message to people. But here's the thing, Rand Paul, the Super Bowl has more law enforcement present than even a normal presidential stump speech. There's like 600 homeland security people that are deployed to a Super Bowl. So that might not be the best place. So when that didn't happen, a lot of right wing news stations are saying, you know, you know, we should have a convoy that starts in California and then makes its way across the great sordid landscape of America and eventually end up in D.C. to shut down Byron's State of the Union address. If you remember, the State of the Union came and went.

We talked about it, how nothing of consequence was really said. And also, we didn't mention the fucking truckers because nobody fucking showed up at all. Okay. And it's really, really sad that they couldn't, they just didn't have enough, I guess, motivation or maybe there wasn't enough funding from outside groups to AstroTurf an event like this, but they only had, they, they applied for permits saying that there were going to be thousands between up to 3000 people there. Tell me why only 12 people showed up and no fucking trucks, unless you count a Toyota

Sienna minivan. that could be like a truck though there's so many like things to examine in this like first a clear lack of organization because facebook is still alive and those like million moms and shit always draw a crowd did you do no networking for this like how do you think events like this take place it's actual effing work on top of that like did you talk to any truckers before doing this i don't know what's happening in canada but down here there's a supply chain shortage and like truck drivers is busy and getting paid like i can't imagine too many truckers being like yeah no definitely worth missing these shipments in this like time when my job is like more in demand than ever right i just it's a complete lack of like forethought

and also maybe a good indicator on how you know our individual media consumption leads us to believe things are happening on a much larger scale than they are actually taking place. Right. Yeah. No. And I think that's that definitely, I think, was one of the reasons why a lot of conservatives were like, oh, yes, this is perfect. This is this is everything we need. It's happening. We've got it going because we see how active people are on Facebook and this, that and the other. But yeah, it just it just didn't it didn't work out the way they had hoped. And I just want to play a clip from one of the organizers of this rally, who is an MMA fighter. So there's no chance of head injuries may have brought him to this place. But he was out here saying, like, I don't know where everybody's at. body's head he was still trying to make the most of it and i'm just gonna play this clip of him addressing the crowd because the shit was supposed to kick off at noon and go until seven they shut it down to like fucking 12 15 because nobody was there and i'm gonna play this clip where he's trying to do his best to spin what's happening and why you know this actually isn't a loss at all

we're just just going through some stuff. I'm trying to get people here because I wanted to see with my own eyes. I wanted to see what people were really about, what they're talking about, and who's really behind things. And as you see, with the millions of hits and the hundreds of thousands of people that are behind the movement, there's still not people showing up and being about it. Oh, they're not about it. Straight up about it. Because what we're going to be talking about

today, and what I'm going to be talking about, the message I have today... Yep, and the video cuts off right there. Yeah, nobody cares. I had to do one of those shows. You know, we've all been there. Five people in the audience who still got to do your set. Rocking that burgundy rock-a-wear outfit.

Surprise, yeah. He comes out with the armadale vodka like dame dash did back then i feel bad for truckers man because like truckers first of all trucking job is like the only job is you can make six figures a year and have a felony you know straight out straight out of prison. You know what I mean? And truckers know that that self-driving truck is like two summers away. You know what I mean? So they know that this shit is ending. And this is bad, man.

And plus, who's coming all the way to D.C.? You seeing gas prices right now? Yeah. Who's paying for that? Even if it is diesel. I'm not doing that. Yeah. It's a rough game.

Yeah. I mean, that's a really good point. And the other thing, too, is most truckers are like, I'm not with this shit. Yeah. They're like, I'm working. And I think because it helped sort of create this like sort of like populist shorthand of like the working man, the trucker is behind this. And that gave a lot of people, some of that raw, raw energy to be out there. But this guy went on to sort of talk about,

again, you saw that crowd. It was most, I would say, actually, when I look at that image, it looked like mostly press, like, like texting their coworkers, like, yeah, man, nobody's fucking here. Don't worry about it. I'm about to come back. And this speech went on. It said, this from the daily beast. It said, quote, the rambling speech, which at times took oddly specific tangents, pressed forward with the organizer wondering where the convoy of truckers supposedly aiming to disrupt the Beltway area in protest of vaccine mandates actually were. Quote, where are the trucks? Where are the trucks? He yelled at one point. I know the ones that I had planned coming. They're not even allowed

in because they need a commercial license and have proof of a check off today hold on cdl come on man you didn't even do the bare fucking minimum like you just been like yeah man let's rent these trucks from this truck rental place and they're like you know how to use air brakes they're like no they're like get the fuck out of here. Commercial license, of course. Yeah. He's like, so they were. And then he said, quote, he said, because there is a checkpoints to check if you had a commercial license. So they weren't even able to stage, make it to the stage and make it look cool here.

That's what he said. Quote, and make it look cool here. Make it look cool here. Not because you are really about anything. And then he goes on to say, quote, but I still showed up. Even if none of you did, I'd still be right here because I keep my word. Okay. Word is bomb.

Throw up the Rockefeller. I mean, the way he was talking, I thought he was going to bring a no limit tank out because he said, nobody's about it. I need people that are about it, about it. Coming to the stage. Master P. Oh, man. But they're not about it, about it about it i guess i don't know why why would that happen it's almost like this isn't actually a real thing that gets people animated but again this is the world ran so uh nice try folks but you have to find something a little bit easier and doesn't rely on people with very specialized licenses to participate in to make it, quote, look cool.

And Rand Paul, get the hell out of here, man. You and your daddy. Yeah. Well, look, they're working on some stuff right now. You know, they're going through some things, clearly. I mean, he got in that fight with his neighbor. Remember, he got beat up by his neighbor. Rand Paul?

Yeah, because they had a dispute about him cutting his grass or some shit, and they ended in a fist fight. Dude beat him up. What state? I mean, what state does he represent anyway? Kentucky. Kentucky, okay. So you got Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul, baby.

Oh, Mitch. The power duo. Remember, he was turnt in black. Oh, yeah. You're like, karma, go. Karma, go. What's going on with Mitch? You're like, yeah, his ghoul makeup started coming off. And you're like, I told you

the motherfucker half-orc. Mitch looked like a turtle without his shell. Just the inside of a turtle. And see, my heart goes out to the turtles, you know? True indeed. Let's take a quick break and we'll talk about dubious eBay sales of tanks after this.

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 of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in the prints. A lion. An 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'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On the 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.

Most of the time. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. 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 then a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away.

She's married and shit i see her wearing that shit with her husband i'm like yo come on now i've seen guys start buying the sweatshirts with like this is not her hoodie oh yeah on it and stuff but i was like i dig it i'm i would still take that hoodie though yeah but in a but in a way. Who cares? They know. Everybody does. This hoodie is six sizes too large. They don't care. Right. It's comfortable.

Because, look, love is war. And there are sometimes, you know, that certain pieces of infrastructure are left behind, much like in Russia or in Ukraine with Russians storming in people getting attacked people completely you know just surrendering or abandoning their tanks has left a lot of clips on the internet where you see farmers pulling full fucking apcs and tanks around with their like tractors or people driving abandoned tanks around being like hey we got a fucking tank so when people started seeing these like there was this one screen cap of an ebay listing where someone was selling a quote used Russian T-72 tank fully functional for around $400,000. People were like, oh, shit. And it became like a fucking meme. You know, everyone's like, wow, look at this.

There's something fucking like the spoils of war on eBay. Now, this isn't exactly true. Like I said, we have seen footage of people, you know, commandeering abandoned Russian military vehicles. But the eBay thing seems like a bridge too far. There wasn't there's not really even real evidence that a post like that was actually even added to eBay. And the photo that was in the listing was like a picture with a little, you know, reverse image search. You're like, that's from 12 years ago, that picture. So there's no real evidence that anyone is selling them on eBay, though, like the Ukrainian government

basically made a statement to tell the people that if you like take any Russian tanks, quote, you don't have to declare its value to the government. They're like, hey, that's free, man. Like, don't worry. That's a come up. You better take those tanks down. I love a government supporting its people this way. This is beautiful.

Oh, yeah. What I'm pretty sure is a fake video of a cop pulling, like, a black cop pulling over another black person. And be like, yo, why are you speeding? And the guy's like, because it's the hood. Cop's like, yeah, no, that's a good reason. I got, you got a gun in here? He's like, no, officer, I don't got a gun. He's like, you're going to need one. Hold on. Oh, yes.

The system should empower the people. He's like, look, yeah, the serial number's scratched off, but it doesn't have any bodies on it, so you're good. 400 grand is a little cheap, though, for a tank, man. They should raise that price. Oh, yeah raise oh yeah oh i mean there was recently one where someone got like a surface to air missile launcher where a guy was like driving it around and someone's like that is like five million dollars that thing what's wild is like you see them and the shit still has like rockets in them and you're like uh couldn't like one errant button

press like completely just send it all the way up i don't know but yeah at the the ukrainian what is it there's an official group the ukraine's national agency for the protection against corruption they're like the people who put the statement out that said quote have you captured a russian tank or armored personnel carrier and are worried about how to declare it? Keep calm and continue to defend the motherland. There's no need to declare the captured Russian tanks and other equipment. Wow. So that's where they left it.

But that didn't stop a bunch of other, you know, because we're like in the era of clicks where like legitimate news sites are also taking this thing and being like Russian tanks are being sold on ebay for thousands as people flock to bid but then they're sloppy asses they know it's bullshit too because even in like the like third paragraph it'll say although the listings are likely a joke

it's like well then what then this article is likely a joke as well so don't fucking post like that like it's like what are they doing psych this shit isn't really happening can i get a tank or what i gotta go to offer up to give me a tank oh yeah exactly yeah i got one in my buy nothing group you know i'm saying does anybody have a tank i really need to go pay my exit visit they're like yeah yeah i have one uh just come by and pick it up i need somebody to take it off my hands. There is somebody selling a Russian tank though right now for $500. JM, our writer, looked on eBay and did find

a listing. But they're doing the classic eBay scam because the fine print says, it's actually a photo of a Russian tank. You're bidding on this picture. And then they say that the funds will go to essential goods and medical supplies.

Who knows if that's actually the case. But that's also a typical. I don't know. Have any of you felt for that eBay scam? It's like, no, you bought a picture of an iPhone. No. For $20. No.

I had a friend do that. And I won't even use their name. Only people with broom. People with good broom skills do that for. For those. Wow. For those tricks. Holy shit. name only people with broom people with good broom skills do that for all for those wow holy shit i'm that actually tracks just saying because the person with the weak broom skills also bought a picture of something on ebay i always read the five print that just opened up my whole fucking mind right now i'm like wow, wow. Parents, get your kids on that broom.

That's the only way that we can, you know, keep them safe from misinformation. Anyway, what a world we live in. Well, Greg, thank you so much for joining us today.

so lovely to meet you. I got a couple. So, okay, here it goes. One, my daddy was an entrepreneur. I'm not knocking it knocking it duh but i have very different views on it i never want to eat what i kill a day of my life pay me to work down to the fishing boats man same i have zero desire for that life i need someone to

call in payroll if something's up with my check i ain't trying to look in the mirror and i feel that vibe i feel that like straight to my court and then uh what's the other one oh there's a picture of yo-yo ma like really going in on hello really going blood letter the caption is me sliding my straw in and out of the mcdonald's cup that took me back it hit me all the way back uh this one's from Big Willie Cart. I think that Bugs Bunny should be standing next to the WB logo eating a carrot for all Warner Brothers movies, not just the animated shit. Show some respect. And finally, from Dr. John Paul, one of the participants of the Next Up program, one of the baddest, tweeted this morning, they wouldn't change the name of that pancake batter and syrup and racism is still rampant. And I feel it. It's frustrating. We did all all we could we got rid of the mascots and still

look at it here it is every day but we did the whole thing and even that even old sydney portier films were talking about it and we're still here somebody's lying folks somebody's lying it's a problem it's like we never just dealt with it the way it needed to be dealt with and we are still trying to deal with that way uh where can people find you joelle oh i'm sorry y'all let me it's joe monique you can find me all over the internet at joelle monique that's j-o-e-l-l-e-m-o-n-i-q-u-e okay perfect i love that uh that yo-yo mom meme too really like that anytime i that's like my Ma meme too. You're so funny. That's like my favorite meme picture. Whenever that's used in a meme, I'm like, this is going to hit.

Because there's something about the way Yo-Yo Ma is like, I'm playing the fuck out this cello. I am not fucking up on Broom, that's for sure. No, no. Tweet I like is from a past guest, Valerie Tosi. Valerie Tosi tweeted, an older guy on my, because she talked about how she was in a pinball league on the show last or two weeks ago. He said, this is from a tweet, an older guy on my pinball league asked me what I do tonight. And I told him I'm a comedian. His eyes lit up and he said, really? I want to do that too.

And I replied, no, I promise you, you really don't. Yeah. People need to be saying that more. Just kill it in the crib. People are like, I want to like, no, I heard you do some weird accents in the parking lot. Let's just keep that to the side. You can find me on Twitter and Instagram at Miles of Gray.

We got a Facebook and something and a website, DailyZeitgeist.com, where we post the episodes and our footnotes. Footnotes! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Where we post the footnotes and the song we write out on. Actually, I'll just tell you the song we're going to write out on. I want to go out on something that felt like me, which is a Japanese cover of a black artist. And this is from a Japanese sort of jazz disco vocalist, Kimiko Kasai. And she is covering Stevie Wonder's ass.

Always. But it's done very disco. And it's just always fun when you see people kind of just cover like iconic songs. This one has tempos around the same, but it's just a nice kind of it sort of feels like you're in a weird parallel universe when you hear a Japanese woman just ripping ass in the disco version.
