I also missed your podcast, Bible Bros. Yes. Well, so look, I'm here to promote man thinkers, but I do have a secret podcast on the side called Bible Brothers in which we're reading the Bible from front to back because we've never read it before. Book club.

Wow. Little book club. It's essentially a book club and we would never read the Bible because it's so hard to get through unless we were recording it and felt like we had some we had to get through it it's very masochistic what have you discovered it's crazy it's a crazy book and and here's the craziest thing i've learned i think is that when the israelites you know get through the desert and make it to the holy land there's already people there i always thought it was empty and like they know there's already people there. I always thought it was empty. And like, no, there's people there and they kill them all. Interesting. Hey, that's some good ideas in there, huh?

Yeah, exactly. You're like, oh, I've heard that before. Hey, get the fuck out of here. What are you doing? This is my land. God told you to get out of here. Fuck you, die. There's a book about it and it says this is mine.

You guys aren't supposed to be here. It's weird that you are thousands of you. And what are you thinking? Uh, what are you, what are you thinking? What are you learning on man thinkers? I feel like a lot.

I feel like I'm a lot about just like what, how to, how to be a man, how to be a man. Yeah. So just so the people out there know, cause we've already gotten in trouble for this. Man thinkers is a satire.

What? Okay. It's, I'm sorry to tell you i hate i hate to reveal this but i legally obligated to sidebar really quick yeah it was a satire honey a satire and yes we're talking to renegade thinkers we are the new joe rogan the new ben shapiro but we're talking to real people and hitting them with satirical questions. Right. But yeah, we're playing characters on the show, but we've got great guests coming up.

Dan Savage, podcast master. Dan Savage is going to be on the show. One of the greats. The greats. Right. He is. he's king podcaster i feel like he got to the ultimate man universe like man fluencer name before anybody like before a joe rogan like that's true could right like dan savage you're listening to the savage hour and he's a really thoughtful person that's true and he was so thoughtful It was actually difficult to satirize him because you're like, your answers are so good and you've done this for so long. I'm looking pretty bad here.

So check out the podcast where I look real bad. The premise is you guys are idiots. The premise is, I guess, yes, that we're idiots. The joke is on you guys. The joke is on us and we consider ourselves the new iconoclastic thinkers, but we're dumbasses. And that's it.

And it's great. And subscribe to it and send us some cash if you can. There it is. There it is. You know what? Hey, we ain't above begging here, right, guys? We're podcasters. We're all begging. We're always begging in some form.

It sounds like you have a pregnant partner. Yes, yes. So you got to be begging. Oh, I'm begging. I'm begging. I'm begging i'm begging i'm begging i admonished our guests yesterday for mentioning people use a competing app that's how no no no no no edge i am right now everything matters every penny counts right now please the baby is depending on it that's right we might need formula there's a shortage yeah that's right and i'll just you

know i'll save money on college because i can just put my kid on the man thinkers and that's it and you're gonna learn way more you're gonna learn so much more than any of those anti-israel professors are going to teach you at some liberal university yeah yeah that was me getting into character sorry it added i've added man thinkers to the wu-tang Double LP. Oh, nice. That is what I was told on the Wu-Tang album. It's part of it. The kids don't need to go to summer school.

They don't need to go to summer school. They just need to listen to Man Thinkers. It's on the album. Wu-Tang said it. That's right. I'm allowed to say that. All right, Dan, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about.

We're going to talk about where we're at with the anti-vax crowd. It seems like they're resurgent. I did not know that they were using the death of an NFL player on the field who, you know. Well, he didn't die. He died on field and then was revived. I guess, yeah. He kind of did, yeah. Yeah. I guess that, like, really shook me to my core for you to say. I'm like, he didn't die. But I'm like, you're right. Yeah, he didn't die. He died on field and then was revived. I guess, yeah. He kind of did, yeah. Yeah. I guess that really shook me to my core for you to say,

I'm like, he didn't die. But I'm like, you're right. No, technically, yes. He's doing much better. But anti-vaxxers are using that as an opportunity to get some of their thoughts out there, which they're always looking, you know, they're always waiting for the polite opportunity to do that.

No, that's not true. For someone to die. Don't give someone a vaccine if they die on an NFL field field i guess i would kind of agree with that yeah with the anti-vax crowd oh yeah don't jab them yeah that's probably not the first thing we're talking about the riots in brazil we're gonna do a prince harry drama roundup because i've been out of the loop but it's it's been breathlessly being discussed in our group chat so might as well let y'all in a little bit and john deer is letting farmers repair their old equipment which is nice i guess thank you john what are they dumb it is so it's

just sometimes you're just struck with what a toxic relationship we have with corporations. And like, they're just like, no, you know, we break it and then only we can fix it. And if you try and fix it, we break it forever. What are you going to do? Find someone else? Yeah, exactly. Oh, shit. But before we get to any of that, Dan, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history? Recently, I was searching sandwiches near me.

I love that. Which I thought was like kind of funny, but pathetic. No. Little thing to search is near me. You know, it's like, what's just near around me in arm's length? Yeah, reaching distance. Yeah. Kind of.

Yeah, that's like you're like, you're basically just typing into your phone. I reaching distance. Yeah. You kind of, yeah. That's like, you're like, you're basically just typing into your phone. I'm hungry. Sandwiches within earshot. Yeah. So I can yell sandwiches in someone's ear. I wanted a sandwich. I would, you know,

I did a couple day trip type things that we've had some family visiting over the holidays. And that some of those days really feel like, okay, now you got to have a sandwich after a day trip. And so I needed one in the vicinity. And where you end up well we just ate at we were at the botanical garden huntington botanical oh yeah oh yeah beautiful botanical garden and we just ate at the cafe there because it was too hard to get to another sandwich but i i was thinking of some and i didn't get them but i'll eventually get You ever, it's funny when you say sandwich near me, because you know, like Google always

auto fill stuff for you to be like, I need a physical therapy, like orthopedic, blah, blah, near me. Near me? Or do you want it really far away? Part of me, I'm like some weird, like early search snob where I'm like, that's not how you're going to fucking figure out where it is you know you don't need to have it in there specific but obviously it's optimized to use your location just figure that on your own but i it's for whatever reason whenever i see you near me

i'll never do that i'll fully type in the city i'm like well i was desperate for a sandwich that's why i allowed the autocomplete i was like you're right. I need it close. It needs to be here now. Food there? Not that great. The Japanese garden, though. Immaculate. Who doesn't love a Japanese garden? Actually, I'm semi-joking, but it is

the most packed place. And you are like, this rules. This is tranquil as hell. It's wild how diverse all of the flora and fauna and stuff. We're like, okay stuff like we're like okay now we're in asia now you're down under in the in the like succulent desert area are you a dad already or this is first baby this is no you're talking you're talking dad talk dads i'm a dad and let me tell you i love me some flora exactly don't get me started on fauna because oh my god it gets nuts but dads love different

types of things growing i have my father-in-law here and he has pointed out many a tree and i'm and i'm interested hey kid i'm like you're the hero to the church of the choir man we'll go on a boat cruise around the bay check out the flotsam and jetsam you know we knew it all that would be really nice yeah so that's that's what i'm into now not so much jetsam actually i had a bad experience my flotsam game is you flotsam or jetsam flots there you go flots all the way dude now miles is definitely built for this shit he's i have unending useless knowledge to bore my child with yeah and then that's what they need exactly and then they'll re they'll regurgitate that at school and they'll be like what are you what's going on at home yes you know

like my son already does that my son talks about costco a lot right oh no yeah i'm like oh no but oh yes yeah my kid will talk about like taco bell like how to get a maxi melt the carceral state and ronald reagan is why we have unhoused people where's the cheesy gordita crunch uh last time i went there they didn't have the cheesy gordita crunch meal anymore wow they have to they may have they may have you a la carte that thing man i don't know your listeners are just eating this up they're like like, wow. No, our listeners are holding it down. No, because they knew my love of the Mexi melt. And somebody who used to work at a Taco Bell is like, this is how you can order it still. This is how you just tell them how to assemble it.

And I was like, thank you so much, dear listeners. Thank you, sir. Coming through. Here's the cheat code. Because as I think about it, too, you're maybe shortening my life as I become a parent if I keep up with the Taco Bell hacks. You know, but that's okay, too, because you're going to want to get out at some point. So it's like, if I keep up with the Taco Bell hacks. But that's okay too because you're going to want to get out at some point. So it's like, if I'm going down, Taco Bell.

You're going to die like a man. Yeah, with Taco Bell. That's on Man Thinkers actually. Mexican pizza clutched to my chest. I love you, son. I see you. Heart attack your way out of there. What is something you think is overrated? Staying up late.

Spoken like a true father. this has become such a dad gas i know hey check out the botanical gardens you said it and i gave an involuntary yes and i will i will say also even more sadly that i've always kind of felt that way even in my high days, I was sort of known for like kind of cutting it off at around midnight was like my cutoff in high school. Yeah. Wow. I was like, there's nothing's going to happen anymore. It's over.

Wait, what do you mean? Nothing. That's what my officer said. Nothing good happens after midnight. So I feel that for different reasons. Right. I would say my my counterpoint to the dare officer i'd be like no do your drugs earlier right and then you could still get a good night's sleep yeah don't yeah don't be don't run

with the sun exactly you don't need that with the sun no you don't want to wake up refreshed and you're like i had a great insane night last night on tons of drugs i did in at 11 45 yeah exactly beautiful what's something you think is underrated i got two is that allowed yes oh yeah so because one is is such a dad answer i'm realizing that i'm glad i kind of have the other one but the first one is is public libraries yep oh yeah just took my kids to one recently it was oh my god didn't realize it was there because they that's well that's number one about libraries is that they're there which is crazy yeah like this is like the third closest Oh my god. we walked in my kids were like delighted it was fucking wonderful they are delightful that's how i would describe libraries now look some are sort of you know on the um dankier yeah grungy lack of

funding yeah i can lack of funny but hey there's still respect there you're still gonna get your free wi-fi oh yeah i i like doing my writing there i do some writing i do some people watching it's great it's they gotten, like, over time. It's funny how, like, as a kid, like, in the late 80s, 90s, the library just looked like a fucking weird, like, military installation that had no personality. And now, like, all, like, the local libraries. I'm like, God, I'm like the remodel in here. Look at this like desks without all this like weird shit carved into it or desks that are you know can are good at cleaning up graffiti or whatever or having zines like this one local

library has like little art zines and shit i'm like they would have never had this when i was like a kid voted at mine i was like this place rocks man yeah i always like the cops that are clearly in trouble who are on library duty though The ones that gotta be out front They're like oh you racist huh Is that why you're here I sure am I hate the books here Yeah I just sit out front And I yell at people

Just here in case somebody tries to check out a banned book Don't do it And you can get Libby the app you guys know libby yeah yeah yeah read those read those audiobooks from the library you can rent dvds guys you ever see those things high quality hd dvd blue got them they got them they got them all they got them you got to check it out check out your library and the other one is uh dirty horch. Do you guys ever have a dirty horchata? No. I have not. You never had one?

What's a dirty horchata? See, it's so underrated. Yeah. It's horchata with espresso. Oh, shit. I'll do it. I think horchata in general, I'm shocked at how it has not had its moment. I thought it was going to be horchata with olive juice.

No olives. Only dirty. Okay. It's espresso. There's plenty of places that have them. I get mine olives. It's espresso. There's plenty of places that have them. I get mine iced. It's delicious. But yeah, horchata in general seems like it would be kind of a,

there would be like a drink craze that would sweep the nation. And it hasn't really happened for horchata. Tastes great. One of the best words to speak aloud. It's a fantastic word. It's a unique, delicious drink. Yeah. Hell yeah. Dirty horchata. I'm here for it. I's a unique, delicious drink. Yeah. Hell yeah.

Dirty horchata. I'm here for it. I mean, doesn't Dunkin' have an horchata drink? Oh, do they? That would shock me. I felt like there was a moment. That seems impossible. Yeah.

I don't know. They just have a pump with a translucent syrup that is labeled horchata. That's not where you want to be going. And the espresso mixed with drip coffee. That's what I used to get at Dunkin' Donuts. The like drip coffee, like large iced coffee with like three shots of espresso. Oh, wow.

That was a thing. Is that called a red eye or something? Yeah. That's a call to, I want my kids back. Please, I'm lonely. Please, your honor. I need to feel something. Please, your honor. Let me have them back. I'm fine now. You're bringing that into the courtroom. Just empty

drink with the straw. Oh man, just took down a 48-ouncer. Let's get down to business. Just broke the table that you're standing at. By the sheer weight. You just pushed the table that you're standing at. Yeah, just by the sheer weight.

You just pushed the table and smashed it. Oh, maybe I thought the culotta was a horchata. Oh, culotta. That's fair. I think that's a fair mistake. I think that's what was messing up my head, yeah. It feels like they were accessing horchata. Yeah, they're appropriate.

From the great global collective unconsciousness that exists around drinks. They were like, horchata, culotta. Culotta is the perfect Americanized ethnic sounding word. Here's a question for a psych gang across the country. I know in California, LA area, most grocery stores, they do sell like some kind of pre-made horchata drink like in the grocery. Is that now, I'm curious, reasonably like do y'all have that in Wisconsin? Do y'all have that maybe state to state? Let me know if you have horchata drink like in the grocery is that now i'm curious reasonably like do y'all have that in wisconsin do y'all have that maybe state to state let me know if you have horchata at your grocery store if it is widely accessible because that would be a good good you know pulse check to see how how widespread it is i am i'm curious about that too because dads like data exactly

that's right let us know the stats and i call it that for nothing that's really named after dads the spelling is a red herring they're throwing it off throwing yeah they're like we should change it a little bit but it is just for dads yeah um i like i didn't have the built for this thing that you have miles and so like i just noticed the like one that we like brought our kid home and suddenly i was interested in nature documentaries like that was like how it happened and i was like man these are amazing like this is all i want to watch yeah planet earth planet earth blew it up like that that was like what they used to show how good flat screens were. If you remember back then. Exactly. I think that was like the first Blu-ray set you could buy.

You're like, yo, you have Planet Earth on Blu-ray? That was like a fucking flex. That was so good. Count me in. Yeah, I've been preparing for this for many years. Since what, 2005? Whenever that documentary came out. Perfect.

Getting so high and watching the caves episode. Watching seasonal forests yeah and being like trees are where it's at for me it's caves it's when that guy is oh my god into the abyss and then disappears you don't even see a shoot deploy and then it just says caves and i'm like let's go let's go you invented people screaming let's go at that moment. I had a very weird obsession with that opening shot to the point where like I would, I had this volcano vaporizer that you would feel like a turkey bag up with, with like weed smoke. I would sit people down on my couch and be like, have you seen fucking planet earth? They're like, no. I'm like, all right, dude, we're going to hit this volcano real quick.

Then it shows up. And I would watch the person when that shot came where they're like this sort of like free jumper jumps into that cave. You have the timing down. Yeah. Because then I would look at them and see if they were like, oh. And I'm like, that's sick, right? How sick would that be, bro, to just jump and like vanish into darkness, like not knowing what's down there. And they're like, what? And I'm like.

Right. Exactly. Exactly. You're an And I'm like, right, exactly. Exactly. You're an aspiring spelunker. Right. Yeah. You got to get spelunking, man. Yeah. But I think for me,

it's just the idea of like jumping into a hole in the ground. It's just the one shot. It's not the caves. Yeah. He's never watched me on that shot. No. His mind was too blown.

Not interested. I don't even know if that guy landed. He just walked away with his five fingers on his forehead. What am I going to see? Some stalagmites? No, thanks. I don't even know if that guy landed. He just walked away with his five fingers on his forehead. What am I, you see some stalagmites? No thanks, I don't care. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back.

We'll talk about some of the shit that's happening in the news. Let's do that. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a 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. EPM 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?

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 of 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? I just take all the other stuff out of it.

Segregation academies. When civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools these charter schools were exempt from that bigger than a flag or mascot you have to be ready for serious backlash listen to rebel spirit on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you And we're back. Got the double thumbs up, like beginning of Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick. That's how every movie starts, isn't it? Go. Movie.

Start. And we're a go. We're characters now. All right. So conspiratorial thinking abounds. Miles, this is your story. I'm going to let you take it from there. believe they got a gift from like blonde haired Jesus when like NFL player DeMar Hamlin collapsed, passed away like momentarily from a cardiac arrest and was a revived

immediately. The fucking tweets and posts talking about died suddenly just ramped up exponentially. There's this group called the center for countering digital hate. And there are nonprofits that looks at disinformation and things like that. They said that the phrase died suddenly had quadrupled that day. Like with a daily average is only fourth, about 4000 mentions. This is doing about 17,000 where people are going on this whole died suddenly. And do you guys remember we've talked about this phrase

died suddenly before because there was that shitty, I guess, documentary that they called it, but it was really just a montage clip of people collapsing due to any other reason aside from having like a COVID vaccine and actually not dying. And people were like, oh man, this is fucking scary, man. Look at what the vaccine's doing to people. People are just dying left and right. Well, this like the fervor around that shit hasn't died down and this guy specifically just recently came back up in the news you may have remembered us talking about him

his name is christopher keys he was the guy we that was called the vaccine cop who wore like a fucking badge yeah and he tried to citizens arrest a fucking governor for like approving vaccines for kids and he also remember his last i mean we really talked about him because of his breakthrough. Let me just, let me just remind you really quick what he's told a room full of people, what the antidote to the COVID vaccine was. You know, take it with a grain of salt, but go do the research. Okay. Because this is going to just be like, there's no way, but the antidote, and I'm going to kill my credibility, but what credibility do I have anyway? So the antidote that we've seen now and we have tons and tons of research is urine therapy urine therapy okay and i know a lot of you

and a lot of people like what the fuck is this yes he's talking about drinking your peepee so you can negate the vaccine and be free well Well, now this guy's back at it again. And so he was on a plane and he was asking the pilots if they were vaccinated because they could die suddenly due to their vaccination. So this is, we're just going to play this clip. This is, he was just like going up to the cockpit like, hey, how you fellas doing? Blah, blah, blah.

You guys aren't vaccinated, are you? Let's play this. This is him walking up to the cockpit. We just found out another pilot dropped dead. Yes. You guys aren't vaccinated, are you? I hope. Yes.

Oh, my God. Both of you? Are you serious? Oh, my gosh. You're young enough. Okay. So he's laughing off. He's like, yeah, okay. Yeah, sure thing. More on that later. Okay. So he's laughing off. He's like, yeah, okay.

Yeah, sure thing. More on that later. I bet you guys will be fine. Then guess what? The fucking flight landed because no one's dying suddenly as shit. And then this is, he goes up to the pilots, I guess, just to like double back on being like, yo, I know I was talking to this shit. Like, let me just check in on you guys one more time.

Cause I don't want to take that out. Thank you guys. Thank you. Can I don't want to take that out. Thank you guys. Thank you. I'll give you a card real quick. Yeah. Please guys. The documentary we just put out called died suddenly by Steve Peters. You said you were young brother.

But again, we've had over a thousand athletes drop dead on the football field, 23 years of age. Please go look at it. We have a team of over... You hear the pilot just goes, that's a lie, right back. Because it is a fucking lie.

Yeah. He's just like, get the fuck out of my face, dude. Thousands of people aren't going down. He's likely referencing this website that just has a list of fucking athletes that have died. Like, for any reason. They'll be like, 66-year fucking athletes that have died. Like for any reason, they'll be like 66 year old rugby legend died.

Yeah. Okay. And just leaving it at that. And I think it's worth mentioning all this because Tucker Carlson has made the same claims on his show. And we're now looking at a like house of representatives where like the pandemic adrenochrome gang are going to be setting a lot of the agendas for what kind of legislation they even discuss or the, you know,

the business, a lot of these, of a lot of these committees and McCarthy, he finally got his speakership, but he basically had to give away all his power to these people just so he can have a bigger office and hold a wooden dildo. And we're going to pay the price because of this, because now we have people who are, if you hear even what he said in his first speech, he's talking about things like looking into the origins of the pandemic or like looking at like what's going on with the CDC. All of this language is meant to begin a ton of quote unquote investigations

that are just going to challenge people's sense of like established truth or reality going into 2020 this is who we are ceding ground to when people are like he's made some concessions and ceded some ground like this is who he's ultimately ceding ground to is the guy who wants to make his pilots let him watch them drink their own pee before takeoff to make sure that they're covered it'll only be a matter of time until dr pp is going up to do like some kind of testimony in front of congress or whatever about how like he's seen he's seen he's seen it all folks but again this is all it's just very dangerous too because when you look even how epidemiologists are talking they're like man the way these these diseases mutate and we have new variants like we're looking at like a new pathogen like every six years that we have to contend with.

Well, it's like SARS or MERS or COVID, like they keep coming. And so there's no there's no world in which you got to be like, we don't need to look into any of this shit anymore. Right. Like it's all bullshit. Right. Like it's all bullshit. And I don't know how on earth the country can protect itself because it did already did a terrible job when the shit started in 2020 when the GOP is basically going to tell Americans like, people, I think like there were there's been a huge drop off in like the number of people who actually are not skeptical of fucking vaccines just across the board. Like it's done. They've done quite a bit of damage. sort of cognitive biases to deal with like the sampling bias or sampling error where it's just any news story can be used to make the case like it it didn't make any sense to me like it hadn't crossed my mind that the nfl story would be used in this way to like try and bias people against vaccines but it's it's like the you know that year everyone was like god like 2018 is on a weird one all these celebrities are dying and it's just like no there's just a lot of celebrities who are in their 60s and 70s and 80s at this point

you know it's like that it's you're just seeing it's like I used to think people in Russia were the wildest drivers. And it turns out it's just that Russian that like most Russian cars have a dash cam. And so you just see all the footage of the wildest shit that's happening on roads everywhere around the world happen. And like they actually share the footage as opposed to you know we don't we don't all have cameras constantly taking the footage in hey well now we're catching up because now more american people have them now and the clips are starting to have american license plates in them yes and they're equally fucking out there drivers here i mean shit in la i think where i live in glendale is like considered the worst driving in the country

right really yeah it is it's i mean the 134 the 134 lawless it's lawless and i and i grew up driving on that shit i'm a good driver because i've had to transit the 134 protect yourself yo yeah i mean that's had some of the most fucking fucked up accidents ever on it like the 134 yeah there was one where the a guy like was ejected onto like a fucking freeway sign wow like yeah i think i remember that yeah yeah what a way to go it's just a lot of wild anyway but all that to say yeah our confirmation biases are out there but i again it's just very scary to think of like how even in our, like when the, in the pandemic started here in 2020, like the CDC and the government was like, it looks like a lot of stuff's happening in New York right now. Should we start testing for that?

Right. And they just did it. And then, you know, Q curve theme song. People have to remember in general that state lines are just made up right because a lot of times people will be you know i'm from the east coast and i'll visit home and people will be like wow california there's a lot of like fires and stuff out there hon it's like you live here too yes i'm like closer but your planet is also on fire it's not just like oh it's only california and once it hits that line we don't have to worry about it. Yeah, exactly. It's only slightly further away from you.

I think, yeah, we have such a terrible like compartmentalization problem in America, like whether it's class or race or like whatever. People like that. Well, that's that's for this other thing outside of my little box. I think I'm inside of it's like, no, motherfucker. To your point, it's like we're all on the same this same rock you know and the problem happening here can get to you they will eventually yeah i flew here in like a few hours like it's it's happening you might want to like you know take uh some cover or something right yeah well a little bit further but still you know part of a part of an ongoing trend that we've been tracking here that we're seeing happen in Brazil is the rise of fascism and like a very specific type of fascism that is like MAGA fascism, I guess.

But so Bolsonaro lost his election and. Well, that's what they say. Right. Exactly. We don't know. We don't know. We don't know. we don't know we don't know we don't know we don't know we got according to who according to who yeah but it's all part of it it is like what what you satirizing your show what the p doctor the only doctor i listened to and uh of course and this bolsonaro thing are all a part of this same trend of people feeling disaffected and lonely and feeling, you know, rejecting the kind of liberal mainstream status quo in many cases for like good reasons and in many cases for horrifying, you know, racist reasons. They are like it's a growing it's a growing movement that it feels like we're not doing the right things to prevent.

But what the latest kind of flare up of this is that after he lost the election, he kind of pulled a Trump and, you know, disappeared to Florida, but continued to spread wild conspiratorial nonsense to the point that supporters stormed Brazilian Congress over 2022 election loss was the number one story over the weekend on TMZ. What? TMZ? Okay. None of the rioters are dating Pete Davidson, but that was their number one story. Right, right, right. TMZ is onto it. I think we should be too. But I don't know. He's been, his protesters have been blocking roads, setting vehicles on fire, camping out outside military headquarters, urging the armed forces to intervene. And yeah, a lot of American media outlets are comparing this to January 6th, partly

because we are incapable of seeing a global news story and not making it about ourselves yeah well but also when steve bannon is a bolsonaro advisor yeah you know exactly and he was ringing that bell from over here like last year saying like i don't know looks like real contested we'll see what happened i mean he was his whole thing was like i'm hoping for another january 6th in brazil and it it's weird too because like it it was everything about it was just kind of off like it was on a sunday so no officials were there so like they weren't necessarily like stopping the certification of an election or something they just like pulled up and just like ransacked the place and that was like a bad then there's even like a q q shaman

q anon shaman like fucking like like analogous dude but in brazilian colors who also showed up there's like so much imitation happening too that's well every country has the same has one of every type of person right yeah yeah yeah exactly there's an italian one right one yeah they all have one. Yeah, but it's but it's funny, too, because like they go into it thinking they're like, this is what the people want. Like they're on this like wave of self-righteousness. Like even with the January 6th people, they're like, we're patriots or whatever. But the problem is, like, I think because they think they're on such a like righteous course and then they like objectively lose an election.

It's like, well, I'm not going to fucking say, oh oh maybe i was maybe i didn't represent the will of the people right they're gonna double down and be like no fuck it put your face paint on and now we'll storm the capital like i don't know if you saw that one clip where the one guy's like yeah man we can take that building we can we can get in there and there's a guy behind him who's like and then what like on january 6th and that's kind guy behind him who's like, and then what? Like on January 6th. And that's kind of the mentality. It's like, yeah,

you're angry. You pulled up, but because you're all there motivated by this, like, like all of these very disparate principles, like everyone's there for their own fucking weird reason. Like it's, it's,

they don't quite turn into like this hyper potent thing, but I will say this. I mean, obviously Brazil has had a military dictatorship, so they're not far off being like, y'all get involved like like y'all did in the 60s to 80s, please. Yeah. And apparently the local police report to the governor, who is a former Bolsonaro ally. And this was similarly to January 6th. This was being planned openly on the Internet for at least two weeks. I think even there was even more planning to the to the point that the buses were chartered that showed up for the for the storming of the Capitol. Like this is this is like, you know, the the Civil War reenactments. They're like, all right, this is what this is what you do when you lose an election and then you're on have a right-wing dictator on the ballot i love that everyone for all this stuff has to use social media and text messages you know like no one is like hey if we're going to be

secretive right obviously we can't text yeah and they all just text openly and then they get subpoenas right and it's like look it's all here I have every text that they wrote to each other. They're like, I just can't help it. You know, it's convenient. I like the blue bubbles. We all got to have iPhones when we're planning this revolution. The second they figure out their OPSEC, uh-oh, it's trouble.

But until then, yeah, their egos will continue to assist those who are seeking to hold them accountable. Keep texting. Yeah. Put it on. Put it on Getter or whatever. Yeah. Signal.

I think there's something that is like specifically social media driven about the like that specific impulse of, well, there must have there must have been cheating going on because everyone I speak to and all the information that I see is like creating this world where he's going to win in a landslide. And that is because you are being fed an algorithm that is designed just for you based on what you want to see. So like that, again, it's like a very it's a lonely world by design and that it is it has been designed exactly and only for you and so it doesn't actually like where else are you going to find the people who agree with you but on social media because you can't go door to door right right just thinking a storm in the capitals nice Nice to meet you, neighbor. Just knocking on the door. Hi, I just wanted to see what you knew about a violent overthrow of the government. And I might be able to interest you in joining us this week. It's a quick yes or no. Yeah. But the riot was condemned by pretty much everyone except for Steve Bannon and other mega folks who were like, yeah, Brazilian freedom fighters.

and other MAGA folks who were like, Brazilian freedom fighters. That's what we're looking at. There were some quiet Republicans. They're still the ones that are trying to figure out where their soul is. Or they're like, I'm not going to rah-rah it, but I can't say that's bad because then I'll get just absolutely assaulted

on the internet by the MAGA people. But yeah, we shall see yeah but dan it sounds like you when we mentioned him earlier like steve's a friend yeah steve bannon stevie b yeah steve's a good pal uh he and i have the same skincare regimen oh great and yeah i just he's a beautiful fun guy love him yeah do the same dental routine to sleep with a bunch of jolly ranchers in your mouth yeah and just i love me i'm like steve how do you get those cool red spots all over you jolly ranchers all night insides are on your outsides because you're so evil that your body can't contain uh any kind of maladies yeah that's true power when yeah when your body starts turning itself inside out

yeah when you look like um the emperor or whatever from star wars you're like cool you're in a good spot you look like the bad guy like the worst bad guy ever made in movies you look like him got that palpatine swag palpatine yeah okay rise and grind i'm on my palpatine yeah okay rise and grind i'm on my palpatine pal dude i nailed him you called him palpatine that's messed up man you heard it here there it is why don't they call it round teen he's a round emperor all right let's take a quick break we'll be right back.

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. 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.

And the crown continues to degrade before our eyes

in ways that are very entertaining. I was very eager to see the reign of King Charles. before our eyes in ways that are very entertaining. I was very eager to see the reign of King Charles. Has he been coronated yet? That hasn't happened, right? I wouldn't fucking know, dude. Yeah. I think...

It happened at the funeral, but I guess not. It's not like a blunt you pass? You're like, alright, man, smoke on that. Queen Elizabeth, smoke on that. King packed mouth. There was a story about how they were really nervous and they were thinking maybe they would try and rush his coronation but his mom the queen mom had like waited six months to honor like the death of her father or something and like that that was considered a good move so I feel like there would be more if

like the coronation is May 6th okay yes got it and I will be clearing my can't and my boy Harry's out oh I bet so is that a chance he might have a chance though maybe he goes actually I was lying I was lying about everything in that book yeah please can I

have it? Please. Can I get free money and stuff? Please. So his book is just tea. Just, it is, his book is drenched in tea. And the... An Earl Grey. Yes, a nice Earl Grey.

Twining. But, so, the things that we're learning, it's hard to keep track. But we talked last week about how he he detailed a fight that happened with his brother where he fell in a dog bowl that like scraped his back and like just great detail about like the yeah how it hurt what what kind of i just i was thinking about like that's a fancy fucking dog bowl right like in my mind for sure like you get like a stainless steel bowl or something like that because it's like a thing that just has to be usually washed but i just

like they're like oh the porcelain dog bowl i just realized like what that thing must have even carved well that that is also part of the like joy of these these sorts of stories is trying to picture them like hanging out in a kitchen like not like the royal kitchen but a kitchen with a dog bowl in it and like right having a real housewives style like pushing that but anyways the the latest we've heard was this actually felt somewhat royal it was like very polite gossip where he was like his stepmother camilla leaked stories to the british press in exchange for favorable coverage, which is exactly what I would expect of her, because the press was not a fan when she was breaking up Prince Charles' marriage to Diana,

and that Harry and William positively begged Charles not to marry her. Positively begged? Such a, like, British. Begged Charles not to marry her. Positively begged. Such a British. In spite of Willie and I begging him not to, my father proceeded with his plan. And then the big kiss off. We shook him by the hand and wished him all the best without hard feelings. Ouch.

Burned. Damn, son. Mic drop. We wished him the best. Son. Mic drop. We wished him the best. And then a lot of people are paying attention to him saying he does a lot of drugs or did a lot of drugs, I guess.

Who does a lot of drugs? Harry. Harry did a lot of drugs. Guy who tragically lost his mom got into drugs at some point. Whoa. Hold on. Yes, who had access to everything. Yeah, access to everything and so much money and generational money. Like the people who I've known who have generational money are the are tend to be the ones who are casually talking about cocaine use when they're like 13 years old.

Yes. Right. On a fox hunting trip. Wasn't the thing saying he did on a fox hunting trip? Yes. Like when else are you going to do it, though? He's like, someone... Yeah, he said, of course...

What did he say? Of course, I've been taking cocaine at the time at someone's house during a hunting weekend. I was offered a line, and since then, I had consumed some more, which is such a funny... It sounds like you're talking to your dad after he caught you. Someone offered it to me, so I had to take it politely on a hunting weekend and then I consumed some more. Very vague. No more

cocaine for you, son. As long as you don't do it again. Yes, daddy. No more blowski. No more gagger rails. Yes, daddy. Just a polite amount of cocaine. Of course.

A regal amount. He also spent a surprising amount of time in the book talking about his dick, which is circumcised. Despite what you heard. It's what you're hearing. This is actually more of an indictment of Britain as a culture, that there were rumors, breathless gossip, that Harry and Wills had not been circumcised at their mother's wish. But anyways, it comes up in this context because he suffered from a frostbitten penis during william and kate's wedding in his new autobiography he says that it was a painful experience with frostbite following a 200 mile expedition to the north pole in march of 2011 so that was some cocaine i did some cocaine yeah this is of course all figurative but i put it on penis, and I felt not the effects of the frostbite. Yes, it took off my foreskin.

So was there a North Pole expedition tied into their wedding? Was it like the ultimate destination wedding? Oh, like pro trip? Or like, yeah, that's a bachelor party? We're going to the top, baby! Hell yeah, dude. Waste it. Frostbitten boys, 2011.

Where you at? Man, it's like everything. It's a weird thing, too, because that other line he said about how he killed like 25 Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. Yeah. And says he doesn't really feel that bad about it. I was like, whoa. OK. Like, OK, just get it all out, I guess.

Yeah, that's funny. You don't have to put that in your book right yeah like and i killed 25 people and i actually don't feel bad about it at all what else what else my penis was frostbitten um i did the north pole yeah it's just like it it's equal parts like i'm part of me is like okay he's normal and part of me is like oh yeah you don't gotta this isn't the way. Well, I guess everyone's different. You tell your story. He seems like he just met normal people for the first time like five years ago. And now he's just doesn't doesn't really have an inner barometer of what it's like to be normal. But he's just letting it all out.

You know, right. Trying to just call. I'm normal. I did coke on a fox hunting trip. Just like you. I'm acised dude i got my penis frostbitten what pound it because it feels like you go from so repressed in the royal family and then you start dating like somebody else who's like man get that shit out

what they did what to you you had to do what and then like you start like but i don't like no that's bullshit you should fucking you know like get that off your chest and then it turns into okay i killed 25 people you know this cocaine my penis was frostbitten it's just like i get it you know you've you spent your whole life not saying shit that now you're trying to like find maybe get some equilibrium but yeah cool man i hope this helps the House of Windsor. a good instinct for what would weaken the throne and i think the two things she was worried about was like too much information getting out and her son becoming the monarch and both those things are seem to be happening like right away like just the lid came off and everything popped out like a bunch of trick snakes you know it's just hey you want some toffee peanuts oh sure i never had these in a while

yeah oh lizzie well you know sit tight sit tight don't roll over too quickly you know yeah there's still time still time and finally let's talk john deere because this is just i was gonna say guys can we talk about john deere please please? Yeah, quit avoiding it. Let's talk about the elephant in the room. So this just is an interesting snapshot into where we're at as American consumers, a part of thegulation where corporations have the ability to do whatever they would like to get the most money in any given situation, like we're now at a place where it's just the most toxic relationship that you can possibly imagine. right so john deere this is the news hook john deere is finally allowing people to repair their own farming equipment because which feels wild like farmers are people i i in my mind they fix all their shit like i don't picture a farmer being taking their shit to like a mechanic shop like in my mind it's very self-sufficient and like maintaining your equipment seems like part

of the trade yeah and like it would be a thing where your your grandfather your grandfather the farmer would like rather die than like take it into the shop to like have his farmer to have his tractor fixed but the american farm bureau federation had to step in and get them to sign a memorandum of understanding with the manufacturer and basically they they had made it so that you weren't allowed to when their equipment broke there was a like lock on it like a computerized like it because as with most cars these days and just all equipment like it's it all runs from a computer chip and a computer chip like that needs something like some special john deere proprietary code to be bypassed would just shut you out of being able to do anything

with so it's basically like you we take our toy if our toy breaks like we take it with us and like go home and also if you try to do anything with it they will shut it down they will oh like remotely they will brick your tractor that you paid like tons of money to have that is like part of your livelihood if you try and tinker with it they will brick it unless you have an authorized dealer like do it for you so it's like the same thing as the mcdonald's milkshake machine it's exactly like the mcdonald's milkshake machines which oh yeah there's no milkshakes because we can't fucking fix them unless we pay some asshole yeah the mcdonald's soft serve machines and flurry

machines yeah right i think were the thing that they had proprietary thing and then it's basically they're making money off of the mate like having to yeah the maintenance and that was also what the provider of the mcdonald's soft serve machines was doing is like they were the only ones who were allowed so did they so the farmers also hack the shit like because the mcdonald's case i remember was people were like dude you can buy this hack like piece of hardware hack and you can do it yourself yeah and then like mcdonald's suit yeah so farmers were actually going through like eastern european sources who like had figured who would sell you pre-hacked farming equipment, essentially. Like cracked iPhones, essentially.

Okay. You learn something new every day. Yeah, I didn't realize that. Yeah, untethered John Deere farming equipment. Yeah. And so now they've signed this memorandum, which also includes a loophole that the company can withdraw from the agreement if right to repair legislation passes. So basically,

they were forced to change it because they were out of step with current right to repair legislation, which, again, is a thing that we need in America. Right. You know, somebody creating a law that says that people can fix your broken product when it breaks on them. And now they're like, yeah, OK, well, we'll sign this for now and we will withdraw from it the second our lobbyists are able to make it so that we don't have to be held back by this law anymore. Fucking hell, man. Yeah, it is a crazy world that like it is just easier now that it's like you have a TV and it's not working. You should just throw it out and get another one.

It's just easier for everyone. Right. Like that's not, that's probably not good. Is it? That that's like the answer that everyone gives for like every electronic item. Yeah. Right. So you just toss it, get another one.

No one else is, no one could fix it. Don't worry about it. I had a TV that I bought that was like like a few years ago it was like only three years old and like part of it started getting dark because that's like the led panels were like like not working properly and i was like being like this has to be easy like someone's got to be able to come in and like open the back and be like beep beep beep all right man shit's back and going one guy was like what do you got they're like nah it's not even really worth it yeah it's not like what do you mean to who's not worth it like to me to like it's like the parts are fucking like proprietary like it's

just i mean like you call the company and deal with it like that but like a tv repair person's even like it might not be worth it honestly man with how, with how cheap TVs are now. Yeah, I don't do anything. I just take calls like this and tell you not to use. Yeah. Like, no, I'm not going to do that one. I just get another one. Sorry, I shouldn't be saying this. But like, yeah, it does create even within us like this habit of like it can't be fixed. It just has to be thrown away and a new one has to be bought.

Yeah, just bottomless, endless consumption. Disposable, disposable TVs. Just at the end of the day, just toss it, get another one. Yeah. They sell them out of vending machines like they used to with those disposable cameras. Get one on the way home from work.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, when you look at like the Monsanto's relationship to farmers and like the farmers like aren't able to, like what? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's just. Yeah, seeds. It's just seeds.

They have trademarked these seeds and then the pesticide that you use on the seeds. Yeah, glyphosate. Roundup. Yeah, Roundup. It's all into this vertically integrated universe of consumption that they have built in. They just completely screw the farmers over. consumption that they have like built in they just like completely screw the farmers over and this is what you need to this is what like tells me that we have a long way to go in our fight against like giant global corporations is that like the farmers are getting fucked and nobody

cares like yeah america a lot of the people who are supposed to be real into amer, that those are supposed to be the people they really care about. And it seems like they're just like, Oh yeah. The second, the second this country turned its back on even like veterans who are like, Hey man, you sent me off somewhere and a fucking resource war and I need help. And they're like,

like nothing was at that point. Like they don't give a fuck about it. Like there's not, there's nobody, there's no fucking nobody who's sacred that was so crazy in the 2016 election i think there were the that like family who lost their son as a veteran like trump had insulted them and it was like ah no one will stand for this yeah yeah and then everyone was like shut up right to the veteran family and like all they're saying is like stop making fun of our dead child

yeah right who fought for you yeah could be that sounds like a loser i think yes didn't he call them like a loser everyone's like yeah i nailed him what the fuck does kind of sound like a loser and that's important to me right says the man like at his computer right right that guy sounds like a loser i have no concept of war but sounds like a guy sounds like a loser. I have no concept of war, but sounds like a loser. Sounds like a loser to me. And I know. I'm a good judge of loserness.

Well, Dan, truly a pleasure having you on the Daily Zeitgeist, man. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff? You could just Google Dan Klein. I mean, why not? But I think Danky Klein, I don't really post that much

on social media, but Danky Klein on Instagram and Twitter. You know, if I got a lot of Instagram followers, maybe I could host like an HGTV show or something. Yeah, that'd be kind of cool. That would be cool. I'd love to watch it. You know, help me out with that, I guess. Posted by you. Yeah. Posted by me.

I don't know what I'm doing at this house, but I hope we could fix it. There was a house, I saw a promo for a new show called Ugliest House in America with like Retta as the thing. And I'm sure it's like fine, but in my mind, I feel like,

are we like shaming people now for being poor? Oh, that's funny. I hope it's all like maximalist ugliness, you know, like it's ugliest McMansion is unspoken and not like look at this shit yeah yeah yeah right exactly yeah like they're making decisions they're making choices yeah and i wonder

if those people who owns that if they own the house if they know that that's the show that they're on well they know because i think they get like a like 150k or something to help on unfuck their house or something i know someone who had their house on a remodel show and it's awesome now oh it's like oh it works you should get on the decision well the other thing is the unwritten the thing that most people don't realize is when you're on those like renovation shows they're looking for people who are already going to spend money on a renovation like you're not you're not at times you're not getting money from the production to renovate your home because we're not going to give you 80 K.

Like we're not dropping 300 grand an episode to have like, it's like, no, we'll, we'll shine the camera on you. We don't have anything. Yeah. As somebody who thought,

Oh, maybe I get a housemaid. Like, like maybe I get a new something by being on a show. They're like, you got money. I'm like, no,

they're like, do you later that you had it? You on the show. They're like, you got money? I'm like, no. They're like, do you? Later. I thought you had it. You're the show. It's like, dude, we're struggling, man. Dude, no. And is there a tweet or some of the work of social media you've been enjoying?

I think it was in the background of uh like one of the march no not march madness games but a college basketball game where this guy was like hitting on it was like a college student it looked like he was kind of hitting on a girl and they were like chatting and she's like you could see her lipping like wow and he hands her a card and she takes a look at it and it's a Costco membership card. Right.

On a rooftop in Manhattan, I believe. Huh? On a rooftop in Manhattan. On a rooftop in Manhattan.

It's such a stupid clip. And then lastly, my other tweet I like is from NicoleBetzPhD at EnjoyBetzBETZ tweeted, I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but you don't need the cardboard box of every single item you've bought over the last 10 years. Oh, my God. Please throw them away. And to that I say, I can't. Especially those Apple boxes because they're, like, nice.

Yeah, they're nice and I still have some. Like, is the serial number I need that or something? Oh, God. I can't get rid of this. I can't get rid of this. I can't get rid of this PS5 box. Yeah. Beautiful box. I can't get rid of a, I got two computer boxes down here.

I don't know. I think because when I was a kid, I would see my parents, like, if they got a computer and they had to move it, they'd put it in the box and move it like that. Because that was, like, the first carrying case that you had. But now I might just be a hoarder. I think I might just be a hoarder i think i might just be a hoarder so that's all good tweet i've been enjoying take us back a couple weeks a week to the best new year's eve ever david c murphy's the best new year's eve ever the billboard near santa monica boulevard and westward westwood in la and it's this billboard that counts the smoking deaths in the United States this year.

And then, so I guess they just stood outside of that and watched it go from 443,000 down to zero at the new year. And that was their ball drop. And they just stood out there and celebrated. And it was very charming. There was only a couple of them.
