It's Friday, April 17th, 2020. My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. C.O.V. Quarantine Man. That is courtesy of Scott Nutting. And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. When it's COVID, that's the time I wash my hands again.

When it's COVID, that's the time I wear my mask again this fucking COVID-19 I know it never ends it never ends all the things that I used to see all the food that I used to eat all the people I used to touch are stuck in quarantine ow

Adam Dodd at Doddfather7 for that thank you for that sugar ray when it's over, aka, because it'll be over. Just don't know when. Beautiful. Just don't know. Just got to keep it weird. Sure.

And we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by our quarantine co-host. Quar-host. The talented. The hilarious. The quar-host. Lil Zam herself. Jamie Loftus!

Okay, this is a throwback to, I think, last week's episode, but it made me laugh so much. Ready? All right. Well, a love chat is a really gross thing that Stedman does with Oprah. Love chat, baby. Love chats, baby. Love chats, baby. That's Christy Yamaguchi at Crispy Beef Donut. Been keeping that one in my pocket for 10 days.

But here it is. And we are thrilled to be joined in our fourth seat. This is a banger, guys. We might be splitting that. Another of the very faces on Mount Zytmore, the hilarious, the talented, the scam goddess herself, Lacey Mosley! Hey, what is up?

I don't think I've ever done one of these where Jack was here. Like where it was me, Jamie, Jack, and Miles. That's true. We've never. This is a first. Because it's always Jack or I is missing. Yes. If you're driving right now, pull your car over for the next hour because this is not safe.

Even if you are pulled over in the next seven days, explain to the police what has occurred here and say, look, this is what I'm dealing with. I know I might be driving weird, but all four of them were on. This is the true contagion. Got that zeitgeist pumping through my vein. There is a cursed piece of audio.

You only have one vein, right? Just one big old vein on my neck. Lacey, how are you doing? I don't think I've spoken with you since the choir. No, you haven't. I love that you guys call it the choir. You look great. I just put on a hat.

Truly, that's it. I was like, how can I look like I tried? A hat? Yeah. I love that you guys call it the choir. Black folks, we've been calling it the teen yeah we both took one half of the word

I love all the words I've talked about that on Twitter all the like pseudonyms for quarantine Miss Rona the Rona anything anybody wants to call it oh ooh that's a new one I like that that's cute

that sounds like a sandwich it gives me like very genuine vibes wasn't tenderoni like a 80s like yeah it was a bit Bobby Brown I think when you got a tenderoni you got to treat her right something along those lines

I've always stood by that When you got a tenderoni, you got to treat her right. Something along those lines. Jack's idea is like, I don't know. I've always stood by that advice. Yeah. That's informed everything about how I live my life. When you got a tenderoni, you got to treat her right. I've seen you with your tenderoni, Jack. I believe that. You've seen that in action.

My connection dropped out for probably the last minute and a half. Oh, I thought you were a half oh and i left with black people call it went out and then i came back to you guys talking about bobby brown yeah well what is it i was wondering why you weren't helping out when we were talking about tenderoni miles because i knew you were just gonna have the references like yeah dude my dad shot uh the album art for the Humpin' Around video. Really? Yeah, the black and white Bobby Brown thing.

My dad took that photo. Iconic. Humpin' Around. All right, Lacey. Well, 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. The AstroTurfed Tea Party movement is back, so we're going to look at that. We're going to look at the first person who I've seen

say that lockdowns might not be the best way to fight this that actually isn't a right-wing scammer. We'll look at that argument. Got a segment here I'm calling Dystopio Chico. It is a bunch of different

dystopian shit that is happening right now. We're going to look at Girl Scout Cookies. We are going to try and land on a movie that we can all rewatch together so you guys can rewatch it over the weekend. But first, Lacey, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are?

What is Frenchie from Rock of Love doing? Oh, my God. You know, she does adult films. See, I couldn't even find none of her movies. They must be on tape. Because I was really just looking to see anything that Frenchie was on tape. I remember around the time, because I think people were saying, like, when she was on the show that she was a performer.

And then you had seen it. But I don know now wow I have not it's funny that you brought up Rock of Love because I was trying to get a group of people to watch Rock of Love uh together just where is it I mean I'm sorry Flavor of Love together uh so you can stream it on Hulu you can stream Flavor of Love Flavor Charm School Charm school is so good um rock of love uh it's girl what's your real name safari oh oh okay uh that's a deep cut for you fans out there is so i got to a point where like i was watching all the critically acclaimed girls and the ozarks and the little fires and then i got to a place where I was just like, I need some trash. I just want to see people and be like, damn, y'all's lives is straight poop. And that's what I get from Rock of Love.

Frenchie was a fun character. Because on Hulu, they don't blur it. So she's just naked for real on a reality TV show, which is something that's super surreal because you never see that i just i just get naked all the time i just get naked i can't even do her accent it's so bizarre but anyway i've been eating that shit up because i just needed some ratchet stuff with no point is that season that season two is that the one if you recall like in the first episode one woman is so drunk, she gets kicked out just for being so drunk. She's like, I got eliminated for fucking salty.

They don't threaten me with a good time. And she kept saying, they don't threaten me with a good time. Right, right. And they brought her back. And Frenchie was on Charm School, too. Is that? Yeah, she was. I feel like she came back for everything.

I just found a tweet from Frenchie from yesterday two days ago uh no uh so it was in response to a daily mail article that says bill gates says donald trump is dangerous for cutting 500 million dollars in funding to the who uh she said no at bill gates you are dangerous one. You created the virus to push your ID 2020 agenda. You made the coronavirus 19. You pay for it in Maine time. Put the vaccine in your ass. Wow, you got your answer right there. She stuck the landing.

Yeah. That's Frenchie. Carrie Strug. The way that she said that is very Frenchie and I'm not even disappointed that she's obviously a Trump supporter because I wouldn't expect anything less from Frenchie Frenchie is poop and I love her like she's garbage and I love her I mean almost anyone on Rock of Love the whole cast of Rock of Love for sure like is maga like yeah yeah oh yeah yeah but i mean i didn't fit her the tweet actually ends at real donald trump is amazing mega but uh that was we already i think that was implied by by everything that came before put the vaccine

in your ass is it is a yeah that's gonna stick with me. That's fucking Also that might be where it goes. It might actually go in your ass. That's an insult but also that's where backseats go. Put it in my butt meat. I would. Thank you. In your booty meat. Yeah but that's

also terrifying. The conspiracy theory that this is all engineered by Bill Gates to control us all. Terrifying because I'm scared of it because I believe it's real. I just wanted to make sure you guys understood. Took my meaning. So put the vaccine in your ass, Bill Gates. So why don't you stick that in your ass? Put it in your ass, Bill Gates.

Put it in your ass. It's great. Yeah, I can't improve on that in your ass? Put it in your ass. Put it in your ass. It's great. Yeah, I can't improve on that. She nailed it. Wait, does she say stick it up your ass or put it? Oh, that's. Put it in your ass. Okay, you're right, Jamie.

Put it in your ass. I see that her English has not improved in the past 15 years. Is that okay? Those are those nuances that make them cut so deeply. I want you to put it in your ass. Just place it in your ass. The flavor. Lacey, what is something you think is underrated?

Underrated, I'm going to say church TV. Specifically, because on Easter Sunday, obviously, Jesus rose from the tomb. I said this on Twitter, but I couldn't. So I watched Easter on the television. And I go to a scam church. I'm not going to name the name of it because I don't want to be shady. But I go to an L.A. scam church for celebrities and scammers.

And, like, the sermons, they have flavor. Is it a scam? Absolutely. So you have to kind Is it a scam? Absolutely. So you have to kind of weed through the scam stuff. Like in the beginning, for instance, of Easter Church, Resurrection Sunday, they were like, everybody, we know how y'all feeling out there. We know how COVID is affecting y'all in his name, which is why me and my pastor, because this was the pastor's wife speaking. Why me and my pastor, because this was the pastor's wife speaking, so me and pastor, we are donating 20% to tithes this week. And for the foreseeable future, we are doubling down on God's will to change this circumstance. And I was like, bruh, read the room.

We out here getting stimulus checks. You talking about I got to give 10% of $1,200 to Jesus? I think Jesus know what's going on i mean but through him that check was made possible and the least you could do considering he did spill his blood and give his mortal life is to give him 10 of that stimulus i forget i forget that jesus gets the same cut as your agent that's funny yes jesus is your agent of life yeah that's true that would be funny i wonder how many people will be like good great artists being courted by an agency and they're like nah man i got an agent already my 10 percent goes to jesus man up here jesus christ you know how many you know how many life meetings jesus has gotten me 28 years worth okay

i got meetings every day who else to turn a general to a pitch meeting where you sell it in the room? Jesus. I was looking for a TV special to watch on Easter, but I couldn't find the Charlie Brown one. But I found one called The Easter Bunny is Coming to Town. And it's made by the same people who made Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Oh, the claymation one?

It's the same claymation, and it's the same story, but it's the Easter the same people who made santa claus is coming to town it's the same one it's the same claymation and it's the same story but it's the easter bunny instead of santa it's so fucking weird there's like this whole don't watch it i don't know it's an hour long the the the brave the the little engine who could is in it and he drives the easter bunny to victory it's fucked up it's just like a mashup. Yeah. When you said Easter Bunny coming to town, I immediately was like, it felt ominous to me.

Like, what was he coming to town for? I don't like, I don't- And he's got a knife! Yeah, the Easter Bunny coming to town is a fucked up special, but there's a great villain. It's like the queen, and it's like one of those queens who hates everybody.

And she has all these great lines where she's like the queen and it's like one of those queens who hates everybody. And she has all these great lines where she's like, make sure the Easter bunny does not come back to town next year. I give you carte blanche. And then she sends soldiers out to kill the Easter bunny. Oh, shit. He comes back, though. I mean, that is the origin story of the Easter bunny. Yeah.

I mean, it might as well be. And then he kills them all with bullet time kung fu, right? Yeah, exactly. Like, who are kids more afraid of? The Easter Bunny or Santa? Easter Bunny is scary. It's a scary concept. Because I think everyone pictures them different.

Yeah, it's scary. Yeah. Laci, what is something you think is overrated? Overrated? I'm tired of seeing COVID-19 advertisements. Like, I'm so sick of this shit in my soul. Like, I had to stop watching live TV because, like, I'm trying to, you know, watch Black-ish. And then every commercial break is like, we know that these are troubling times.

And we need you to know that Burger King is with you your family may be dying but you can get you can have it your way you right you may not be able to have it outside but you can always have it your way like what shut up bitch like you think we don't know now more than ever now more than ever now more than ever and we understand people need to have it their way yeah everything is very i mean like i understood the first week when everything what the fuck's going on he's like hey this is what we're trying to do come through we're being safe but like now they're doing the thing of constantly trying to remind us like when this consumer coma is over please remember us as the brand that checked in with you to try and get your money

the second you got your stimulus check also like they're doing too much i saw a fucking commercial i think it was burger king too that was like people were laying horizontally on their couches and it was like stand up for america staying inside and then all of the horizontal couches with people laying on them horizontally flipped over and the couch was like next to them and i was like bitch i wanted to fight the tv y'all just see me punching my flat screen. Y'all have gone too far. Also, how y'all shooting these?

How y'all shooting these social distancing commercials? That's a good question. Because they still look like regular commercials. Stock video. Of just like rotating couches. I've seen some that are so vague that I'm like, oh, this is a bunch of just shit you had in the can that you repurpose. Because you just need people being smiling and serving and giving a bag or something. And then it's like, yeah, great. I feel that way about most.

But the couch rotation one, I was like, did y'all just have this sitting around? That's a lot. That's specific. This is a lot. So is the message of that commercial that we know you can't stand up without some sort of assistance like your couch pushing your body physically up upright like wally it's the power of burger king that lifts you that elevates you and your couch i was just like we don't need all of this we know we're tired like i think fatigue in quarantine has hit me a lot where I'm just like, OK.

In the beginning, I was like, I am a homebody. I'm built for this. Let's go. Week three, I was like, OK, I would like to leave my home. Now, you know, whatever week we're in now, I'm like, bitch, don't talk to me about quarantine. Like, we know. We know. Yeah. And especially not to sell me fucking Burger King.

Like, the most superfluous thing in the world. The thing you never need. The thing you never need. The thing you would never need. Here's the thing that's going to help with your depression. Yeah. Burger King. Well, did they have those? Remember when they had those mood meals?

When it's like, I'm feeling like gloomy AF. Remember they're for like mental health awareness? And it was like, what the fuck? Burger King was like, we know you're eating it when you're sad. Just like Taco Bell is like, we know you're eating it when you're sad. Just like Taco Bell's like, we know you're eating it when you're drunk. I barely, I don't drink that much and I eat it all the time. There's a family guy joke that's like, Peter, I think Meg's an alcoholic. And he's like, no, she's not.

And then they go up to her room. There's like a bunch of Taco Bell rappers. And they're like, my baby. Finally, what is a myth lacy what is something people think is true you know to be false or vice versa uh normalcy i think normalcy is a huge myth i don't think shit was ever normal this country has always been trashed everybody's always been one paycheck away or you know health scare away from you know their lives being ruined. Everyone's living paycheck to paycheck. Well, a large percentage of the country. And I think that I'm tired of seeing brands and other places,

like we were talking about with Burger King, insinuate that when this is over, we're going to return to normalcy. Like, fuck capitalism. And if there was any time for all of us to realize that, it's now. There's more of us than there are billionaires in the world.

Hands for the billionaires. Right. Now more than ever. Right. Dox these people now. I think the other thing is too, is like, especially when we're looking in a situation where there's all this recovery money going out,

and we're still having trouble finding out which the corporations, like which corporations are receiving bailout money, and in what amount, and all this other shit. It's all happening in the dark again. And're looking at like and having you know uh leaders in congress on the right especially push back on the like any semblance of sustained assistance or actually taking the opportunity to like reassess how we've even been doing things it's just it's infuriating um and i feel like that's i part of this is just like you

know sort of shock doctrine shit because like we've been hit with this fucking pandemic and now they're pulling all this other shit we're like oh i don't know like yeah i guess he's fucking trying to say he'll unilaterally adjourn congress to get like appointees through or fucking sign his own checks like we're just kind of like it's you know they're trying to pull a lot of shit already yeah the wall street journal was saying that donald trump is the physical checks that people receive for those of us who don't have bank accounts are signed by donald trump or have his signature on them have you confirmed that to be true i yeah yeah that's but i'm getting a hard i'm getting a car a hard That's so oh, that's so gross. Because, of course, that's just going to be like called back to during the election of like, remember when you got this check that had my name on it.

Like that's so unprecedented to like checks from the government don't have president's names on them. And it's not his money. It's such a wild manipulation for his broke ass base. Our money to be like your money your own money back but i wrote my name but from donald trump y'all it reminds me of real housewives of atlanta if y'all are real fans where there was a season way back where nini was like i'm cashing a trump check and now we're now everybody's cashing a trump check it's just that's that's the kind of wild infiltration marketing that is so dangerous and we can't stop it yeah and it's gonna work too because there are definitely a group of people who have already felt very cut off from you know the mainstream

american culture or whatever and suddenly here comes this magical check floating down from the sky with donald trump's name on it that's gonna that for a very very you know large group of people that will have that effect to be like damn that's deeply fucked up that that was allowed to happen i don't know yeah no and also just like to get into the ppp like a friend of mine has been trying very hard to apply and trying in every possible way to apply just to ensure that it happens but it's been very slow moving and i and as of today or as of this recording uh that people are saying that the ppp loan money is now gone oh wow yeah okay see and this is what we have no fucking accountability we have no way of ensuring

the people that need help get help we only have a way of ensuring that wealthy donors get you know fucking you know get to steal out of our own pockets exactly like there's there's no there's not enough oversight to ensure that this money is being distributed fairly and i feel certain it isn't i mean donald trump has gone on the internet and literally said that you know he holds the power and the money like the first strings to democrats and was insinuating based through all these movies, movies that he was like characterizing himself as the villain ass. Like just,

uh, I mean, we honestly have no control over this country and that man can do whatever he wants. And I just, I hate it, but it is what it is right now. He threatened to adjourn Congress,

uh, so that he could just like push through his, uh, appointments. Yeah, he's choosing a hell of a time to really explore the studio space on just authoritarianism as it relates to the presidency. The perfect time when the country's vulnerable. All right, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. a quick break and we'll be right back. You always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110.

120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare.

This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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 a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories

that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.

And so are the Tea Party, the Tea Baggers, as we've written here. Yeah, fuck the fucking bull. It's not that necessarily the Tea Party itself is back but this people are starting to see the seeds of this astroturf bullshit starting to come back up and the first thing was this operation gridlock nonsense in lansing michigan where people were wanting to

jam up the streets around the capitol to protest governor whitmer's you know very well-informed decision to have a stay-at-home order and do as much as possible to prevent the outbreak of coronavirus from overwhelming their healthcare system. People might not have realized at the time during Obama's administration, there was the Tea Party movement. There was a bunch of old people in glenbeck dressing up as uh revolutionary war heroes and uh that was all funded by the coke brothers are mostly funded and uh there's a book on it called dark money that is really shocking because it completely fooled the the mainstream media and they were like this grassroots movement and it was all paid for and uh organized by billionaires to you know push back against any public uh funding for things that would get in the way of their ability to continue

to be billionaires and continue to amass and obamacare and fighting the death panels and shit like that cut to right now or the new death panel is like, yeah, yeah, we'll pick who dies by sending them to work. That'll be the new death, but we'll just read. Anyway, so with this action, this quote-unquote protest that was going on, it was a collaboration between this ultra-right-wing conservative group, which is just a really nice way of saying racist scum, in collaboration with Betssy devos's

the freedom fund which is like this like dark it's a group that she has to fund shit like this so betsy devos uh has a hand in this nonsense in michigan and this is what we're seeing like right where the obviously obamacare was you know in the beginnings the idea was to provide every person health care uh and that would have probably done a bit of damage to the private insurance industry. So they found ways of pushing back. When you look at now, when you have the billionaire business-owning class saying, my money is not being generated because my laborers are being told to stay at home, I need to get this shit going again. How can I do this? Let me find a group of people who are racist enough,

because this is the thing to keep in mind. When you look at the sort of the look of this grid operation, gridlock protest, a lot of older white people, a lot of MAGA flags, a lot of American flags, a lot of Confederate flags. Okay.

But when you, when you juxtapose that with the news last week about how the people that were being disproportionately affected by COVID-19 were black and brown people, especially in places like Detroit, and the response are these people to say, hey, everyone should go back to work. I'm seeing that sheltering at home prevents this bad thing we're talking about. Well, I want the opposite of that. And it makes you wonder what their endgame is because it's definitely not the fucking economy um so you know when you look at all these things together you see these are sort of the manifestations of the will of these this higher this billionaire class trying to figure out ways to be like how can we create this this sentiment or appearance

that people are like this is fucked up we fight. And it's by sending the goofiest people on the planet out. People who wear costumes every day. The pictures are so cringy. Not only were they not socially distancing, it turned into

a fucking tailgate, essentially. But then also, all the traffic they were causing around the Capitol building was preventing easy access to a hospital, like a fucking tailgate essentially but then they were also all the traffic they were causing around the capitol building was preventing like easy access to a hospital like the like a shift change was held up because the traffic was too bad trying to get to the hospital and it's just it's it's an it's just an absurd notion that there are there's a large group of people this is just to create the optics that there is this this point of view that is relevant and actually makes sense rather than people who have been fed a steady diet of propaganda who have found a an easy logic like stream of logic which basically says i can do whatever

the fuck i want when i want because constitution um it's sort of like the rally cry were you seeing some of the pictures that came out of this whole thing it's so it's i mean and ohio that's what i'm looking for as fuck there's a there's a okay so i've got a picture of a guy uh wrapped in bubble wrap and he's got little stickers that say fragile and then he just taped a piece of printer paper that he wrote millennial on uh because millennials are fragile do you understand you know what i'm gonna pack it up after that own wait i'm gonna i'll send an image to the chat there's another guy that's just in a fucking like riddler ass american uh american flag suit and then he's wearing an american a second american flag as a cape it's just like

yeah if you're gonna do this at least be fashionable this is the thing though when you look at there was a poll that came out though that sort of underlines how much of a fucking minuscule amount of people like are actually of this belief that they're like we got at all costs i'm willing to die to get the fucking to to please the billionaire class to get capitalism back yeah yeah so in this poll it said more than eight and ten voters 81 said americans quote should continue to social distance for as long as is needed to curb the spread of coronavirus even if that means continued damage to the economy and even within if you break it up by party 89 percent uh said of 89 of democrats said we should continue social distancing until, you know, we can,

until we know it's going to actually help our health outcomes. And Republicans, 72% of Republicans also feel the same way. So even within Republicans, like it's still a majority feeling among people to be like, yeah, man, this is fucking scary. And I think this also says to me that maybe like when you look at normally, you'd look at things sort of going down party lines or demographically about what party you're in. But when you have 72 percent of Republicans, that shows that, A, they're probably aware of people who have contracted it. They probably are aware of people who are working around it who are also scared. And those like all those anxieties are not abstract to them as well. Like I don't think most of the time it's easy to think away half the other shit or pretend your ideology can cover up

these sort of like blind spots in your thinking. But 72 percent, I think, shows just how pervasive it actually is when it enters that thinking. Yeah, because this doesn't require any level level of empathy which if you need empathy from the republican party when it comes to issues that don't affect them it's never gonna happen um so when you're dealing with something where like they got nurses in their families they got doctors in their families they have everything that you know we have on our side and their families as well so it feels tangible and so now everybody's like oh okay yeah we can't stay inside but it's crazy because since the news cycle is so overrun with like crap right now i do feel it's super dangerous still that betsy devos would embolden people to do this shit because it's gonna get coverage and people are just sitting at home with nothing to do but watch the news right yeah i i'm

a little worried about the the thing becoming publicized that like democrats are in favor of uh isolation and lockdowns and republicans are in favor of like going back to work just because uh that i have read like a couple interesting articles that are basically like the specifically the social isolation, like the idea that you have to be locked in your house and that we should be giving out tickets to people who don't like stay inside their house is actually not the best way to combat this. It's not like it's causing too much of an an economic burden but more that it's like the

states or the cities um or countries that were successfully able to keep coronavirus at bay did not have this social isolation going on they had basically masks uh everybody was wearing masks they had really healthy testing they had basically it's this guy who's a he's not a doctor he's like a an advisor to countries on disease spread and he is basically making the case that like it's not as clean cut as uh it's sometimes being made, that you have to stay inside your home, and if you go outside your home, you're being irresponsible. He's just saying, wear masks, wash your hands.

But the association of responsible action with not running errands and not going outside your house is a little overblown, and it just kind of worries me when Trump, when we're seeding the idea that like you have to stay inside your home to like, that becomes the democratic position. Like he was just making the point that he he's drawing the distinction between centralized quarantining,

which is when a person who has the disease test positive for the disease uh is separated from the population and also everyone that they that was exposed to them is like quarantined versus this more generalized quarantining where like everybody in the society stays at home and isn't allowed outside of their house he was saying that that is actually not something that we have uh any experience with or any uh empirical reason to believe that that is the thing that is going to save us i don't i don't know how to feel about that yeah well i think unfortunately you know like, he'll point to examples in Asia where, you know, the biggest difference is we don't have testing. That's what's about to say.

So, that's why we have to do this bullshit. And I think that's what they need. That's the testing. That's the message. I understand, like, the fear of this being branded as a democratic position of, like, wither in your home until the economy turns to shit. But rather than saying yay we want to get the fuck out you know how we do that by ramping up our testing the testing has declined in the country like they have to keep our numbers looking good so that we can

get out and there are labs saying hey we have all this testing capacity that's going unused what the fuck like you know and we're running out of chemical agents to do the testing and all these things but this is part of it and i think that's the other thing that people need to really communicate to everyone else if you are a listener please put this in your brain very clearly so you can articulate this to other people the reason why other countries have been able to move out of this phase is because they have enough testing so they know who the fuck has the illness and who they've been talking to they can contact trace right since we don't do that we can't do an elegant approach to this because we don't have the capacity to do that so we have to do this very brute thing of being like okay fuck it everybody stay inside because

we don't know what the fuck's going on because we're not testing i think that's exactly right which is which is like even more frustrating when you like see the it sounds like good news but i don't even i mean it's hard to even trust of like oh you know america's numbers are starting to get better but it's like you're right miles there's just less tests happening so of course the numbers look better like it's it still feels very impossible to know right yeah and deaths are we set two uh death records in a row on uh wednesday and thursday i think or uh tuesday and wednesday so it's we're doing the thing that the government did in puerto rico after the hurricane is obscuring what the real death toll is so you can come out with this weird other number and get hyper specific i know they are trying to say like lump in likely deaths too but that's going to be another battle

between trump and the cdc and shit like that where he's going to probably give directives to make to do whatever he can to make those numbers look smaller meanwhile there are many people like you know they're finding people just in their homes and like, yeah, that's probably fucking COVID-19. But we haven't we can't test yet. So what do we do? It's just a bad situation. It's like we've all played Monopoly. And the fun thing about Monopoly is like you always start a game thinking that you go have a good time. And by the end, you like about to fist fight one of your cousins.

And now America's all sitting in their houses playing fucking monopoly and this whole time we were told that capitalism was fun and that this gives you a chance to be a billionaire even if you started you know very very poor right from the bottom and so we all you know have drank that kool-aid for so long and now we're sitting in our houses playing monopoly for real we're like oh monopoly is a horrible game and has never been fun for anyone ever um and so and that's like really what the issue is with the test it's like we don't have tests so now we have to play monopoly guys like and stay in our houses and fight our neighbors um but that's just uh i just don't want that spin i'm so tired of republican spin it so dangerous. I don't know how we combat it.

Do we need to start lying? Shit, at this point, ruthless needs to be the- Yeah, be like, Rand Paul created it. Y'all need to look at Rand Paul. I can't believe that motherfucker. Do we need our own name for deep state? What's the Democratic deep state? I mean, they really are just lying.

The shallow commonwealth. I was thinking aboutopoly is so pro-landlord That I'm like how How were we raised on this shit It's just be a landlord Hell yeah they're like how many houses can you put on that shit It's fucked up It was started as a game to

Highlight how fucked up capitalism was By somebody who was like a socialist And then They like slowly edited out The part where how fucked up capitalism was by somebody who was like a socialist and then they slowly edited out the part where there's like an implicit critique of monopolies and capitalism and

it became like how hard can you capitalism and winner gets people ruin everything can you imagine the pandemic edition of monopoly and the winner gets all the money. People ruin everything. Can you imagine the pandemic edition of Monopoly? That's what we're playing right now. What are the icons?

You have a laptop for your Zoom meetings, a toilet paper roll. Oh, yeah, you got to have a toilet paper roll. I'll fight you for that one. You got the designer mask. Yeah, you got a mask. toilet paper. I'll fight you for that one. You got the designer mask. Yeah, you got a mask. Got a glove. Got a glove.

Damn, what else? What else? You got a little Postmates baggie. Oh, that's nice. Yeah. Or like a Postmates robot. I saw one of those on the street the other day. It freaked me out. Aren't those scary?

I hate those things. Wait, are those out there? Yeah, they've been out. They're out here. They're out here. I got one a couple months ago. Wait, when are they? It's so scary.

Postmates robots. We've talked about it on here before. But they're on the streets. And now the streets are empty. And I was doing my social distancing walk. And just a robot went past me, a Postmates robot. It was crossing the street. Did you socially distance?

I did. Because, you know, hey. You don't know who's touched the robot. Yeah, exactly. You don't know who's touched the robot. You don't know where that robot's been? The only things in my neighborhood now are, like, Postmates robots and coyotes. That's, like, that's it.

Oh, my God. What a fucking bitch. It really is, like, straight up. There's, like, a lot of straight up dystopian shit. Yeah. I guess we can move on to the Dystopio Chico segment here. Jack's new segment. What are you doing?

Are you drinking a lot of Topo chico or something yeah topo chico house a lot of fans out there someone draw the dystopio chico bottle so uh emirates uh the airline is blood testing people before they let you board wait em, Emirates Airlines is? I don't trust airline needles. Airline needles. Yeah, they won't even clean their fucking plane. Yeah. Who's giving you the test? The flight attendant?

How is this the solution? Are they like, the flight attendant like, oh, okay, you want some water? Also, give me your van. It's when you check in, I think. I mean, look, the United Arab Emirates may be an oppressive human rights violating

state, but don't say shit about those planes, man. You've seen those fucking Casey Neistat videos where he's in the fucking $3 billion suite. They clean those. Okay, fine. I'll do their needles. Ford is testing

bracelets that they'll give to their workers that start vibrating when they come within six feet of each other. Like a fucking dog? Yeah. It'll go around your neck. If you come within one foot, it shocks you. And then if you touch each other, it makes your head explode, I think is the next level of it.

You turn into a fucking fruit gusher if you get too close to people. That's a horrible idea please don't treat humans like dogs and then they're talking about immunity passports which would be like if you test as having the antibody in your blood like in blood serum tests you would get like a immunity passport that would enable you to like go around go about your life like you used to um there's just like all sorts of huge problems both with our current ability to test like it's i think they said there's five percent um inaccuracy which would cause a bunch of people who didn't actually have the antibodies to go out and think that they were safe.

There's also just the idea of it would kind of incentivize people to get the disease so that they could then be invincible to social distancing rules. What a roll of the dice. I either am invincible or I die of coronavirus. Right. Love this roulette situation for us. Yeah, so there's just

all sorts of reasons. It's kind of terrifying, but could be coming. I mean, I guess everybody's got to get their ideas out there. Okay, you know, when coronavirus came around, everybody was like,

you know what? No idea is a bad idea everyone throw out whatever you got right tom so it's like bracelets bracelets around everyone's arms and they and they buzz and catch fire okay okay i'll write that down put it on the board put it on the board okay if it comes in different colors people won't notice that it's a shock collar so just uh yeah absolutely absolutely writing it down there are no bad ideas there are no bad ideas what is the first time what if we change the flow of money and wealth in this country to favor working people and let

the wealthier people absorb the bad idea sorry about that guys sorry now what were you saying Bad idea. Tag, shut up. How are we going to market that? You shut your idiot fuck. Get the fuck out. Get out. I don't know how he got in there. Sorry about that, guys. Sorry. Now, what were you saying about the condoms with the holes in them? I just like that someone could see this as a fun, creative opportunity. They're like, look, this has never happened before.

So there's really a lot of opportunity to uh hurt people in new and fun ways distancing tech is a real growth industry guys uh i think i'm gonna start putting a lot of you know this is our time if we get on amazon buy a bunch of black turtlenecks go to an ivy league school online drop out really quick go to our gar garages, do the whole Bill Gates, do the whole Steve Jobs story, and then we make up distancing tech. You just buy a bunch of dog collars and then resell them to Ford

for like $20,000 a pop. Yes. Can't wait for this dystopian entrepreneur's story. I swear to God, Forbes, less than a year from now some fucking distancing tech billionaire is gonna exist oh yeah oh and then we'll all have i'm trying to make it me i'm trying to make it me you're probably gonna be out here selling fake immunity passports there right i'm gonna try to do the eliz Elizabeth Holmes. Remember she had the tiny thing? What tiny thing can I make

for social... I'm going to bring that back. I'm going to be like, but this time it's for real. No, you can't see anything, but it's real. Look at my turtleneck. We're so dumb. Everyone who was familiar

at all with testing for anything was like, that's impossible. And she raised billions and billions of dollars. That's great. It's almost like capitalism doesn't work. What if I raise all the money and then we don't need it anymore?

What? Oh, then people will just forget about it. That's your excuse after you raise it? Yeah, and then I'll be like, no, look how it was when we canceled the cdc team or our pandemic team look how what happened there so y'all gotta let me keep the money for the next pandemic when it gets popping i'm gonna hold it for y'all next one gets popping i'ma leave town i'ma hold it for right now i'ma hold it for right now y'all know what happened last i'm just protecting it yeah uh all right guys let's take another quick break

and we'll be right back i've been thinking about you i want you back in my life it's too late for that i have a proposal for you come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up?

Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago.

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. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the

iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. So one organization that's having trouble with their balance sheet is the Girl Scouts of America. Yeah. Because the pandemic hit right as Girl Scout cookies were being delivered, right?

Damn, that's my favorite gang. Firing it up. That is my favorite gang organization. Can you order them online or something? I'd still be down to get some. I think you can. I'm pretty sure you can. I'd still be down to get some. them like online or something i think you can i'm pretty sure you can the the the reason though is like a lot of parents have been like yo these like you know these shits are five bucks a pop

you know i get the case it adds up i'm holding all this and now they're like they got to pay their first bill pretty soon a lot of parents and they're like well hold on i have not been able to get my foot soldiers on the block okay selling them rocks yeah exactly rocks they're not playing catch okay well they'd be maybe tossing a tennis ball up and down the street but they're not playing catch okay yeah and how do you intimidate your co-workers on zoom to buy the cookies oh my god how much money would you pay to see a bunch of girl scout moms on a zoom call like what do we do like just like having a fucking panic attack. Oh, that's so good.

That's kind of the vibe right now. I'm looking at that guy who was saying, like casting some doubt about the empirical evidence on social distancing. He's funded by the Girl Scouts of America. No. Holy shit. Oh shit, big GSC.

So yeah, a lot of parents are worried like hey i've got all this product i've not been able to move uh i know i took it on consignment uh but you know like what am i supposed to do here and essentially they said there have been some reports that the locals have been like you need to pay because you took them so that's how this works and they're and some parents like i have hundreds of dollars worth of fucking cookies that i'm not gonna put my whole family in a diabetic shock trying to eat for breakfast all day so the a lot of people there's been a lot of concern apparently the main uh head office has said they are going they're working to ensure that no parent or organization is shouldering the financial burden for the excess product.

But I'm also probably sure that like, how would you know if they were a year old anyway? Like I feel like half the time I eat a Girl Scout cookie. I'm I suspect it's a year old. That's true. Oh yeah. I wonder. Yeah.

I mean, who, who is behind like big Girl Scout? Like where does that, is there like a huge big girl scout like where does that is there like a huge big girl there's money there's got to be some like real serious money in the girl scouts somewhere because also i feel like it's one of those things it's almost like a carol baskin tiger farm thing where everyone who does the shit for girl scouts doesn't get paid they all like all the moms are volunteering so people are

just running their business they're getting a badge they're getting some flex you know at the next meeting like whoever's moving the most weight and the cookie weight you know maybe they get a scooter or something i remember in high uh in middle school they used to do those prize contests where it'd be like if you sell ten thousand dollars you'll get an ipod nano it's like that don't that don't add up that's not a good cut that's not a good cut of the profits. I mean, that's like capitalism, though. They're like, if you do this labor that renders me $3 million, I will pay you $48,000 a year. I quit after third grade because I'm not a born salesperson.

I was just like, I can't run a business. I'm nine. I can't run a business. I'm nine. I can't run a business. I'm nine. That's what these nine-year-olds are doing. Did you guys do magazine subscriptions? Oh, yeah. Magazine drive?

Yeah. Magazine drive. Candle drives. That is wild that they just had us out there selling candy, magazines, just garbage. Oh, yeah, they, just garbage. At one point, they brought in all these different classy gifts that you could buy for your parents

that cost... I bought my mom a jewelry box that immediately turned the table it was sitting on green. The table? That was through the school. There's so many scams.'s wild yeah i like never really even thought about i bought my mom through there uh like a pair of earrings like those like nice adult gifts and now she has a limp the only thing that wasn't a scam

was the fucking scholastic shit that was oh love the book club that was great book book club rule because that was when you were getting something for you yeah yeah because i got all the erasers and when they bring out those big red fucking cases off the truck that you knew would open up into a sales like bookstore stand i'm like yep here we go it's time for the book sales the thing with the magazine drive there was always one kid at my school and i'll call his ass out by name david hamanaka his mom worked at a fucking like i don't know fucking hospital or bank or some shit because this motherfucker was i'm not joking he was moving like more than like some grades combined like through his mothers like through wherever his mom worked and we're all i was like man fucking

everyone's like david hamanaka is gonna fucking get the fucking pizza party and shit that's the frustrating thing is like if if in order for you to do well at this people had to you had to like know people who have money which i did not and you had to have very likable parents which is not not everyone more unlikable right because it seems right nobody wants to be shook down like that. That's not fun for anybody at all. Yeah. I think David was messing the bag up though. Because if you move and wait like that,

you got to get in contact with the company and be like, look, I don't want this Razor scooter. Cut me off 15K. He's like, we need to work this deal out, man. I got the orders right here.

Oh shit, you got Hamunaka here? Oh, you got Hamunaka? That's fucking tight. Hey, Hamunaka coming. Hamunaka coming. I got the orders right here. Oh, shit. You got Hamunaka in your class, dude? Oh, you got Hamunaka? That's fucking tight. Hey, Hamunaka coming. Hamunaka coming. That's a guaranteed pizza party.

So I do want to restart the conversation on what movie we should rewatch with our listeners over this weekend. Let's pick one. Give it a shot.

There's a thread in the Zeitgang Reddit that's got uh some pretty good suggestion 12 monkeys a goofy movie peewee's big adventure bill and ted's excellent adventure uh some that we've been talking about on the show contact jaws um contagion is one that kind of makes sense because everybody's rewatching it yeah we're living it right now I feel like I've seen it because it's our life right I wake up and open my eyes

and Contagion is playing I was like turn this shit off I'm stuck in a simulation I can't take off my VR headset yeah I know somebody at Netflix is just writing another season of Black Mirror, and it's literally going to be this shit. You know, they're just jizzing away, just writing it.

Maybe it'll be good again. The writers have been covered in their own cum. Jizzing away is one of the funniest phrases I've ever heard. He's off there just jizzing away. That's how it works, guys, right? That's how it works. Yeah. It's like, yeah.

It's as if there's no gravity. You get excited, and it's just like someone stepped on a bottle of lotion. I'm sorry for that analogy. No, no. It's like the feather at the beginning of Forrest Gump. It just whimsically takes off, jizzing away. It's like WALL- spraying that uh fire extinguisher the yeah i've movie wise i'm contagion to me feels too on the nose uh 12 monkeys i've i've

thought about i've never seen that what is it i haven't seen 12 monkeys in a minute oh 12 monkeys is so good that's one of my favorites is it fun yeah? Yeah. Kinda. Is it sad? It's got Brad Pitt. Yeah. Okay, strong argument for fun. Dan says no. I'm getting a vehement no from Dan. We gotta watch something fun. Oh, this movie doesn't look fun at all.

Little Rascals? Oh, wow. I've never seen a goofy movie, and that's apparently a classic. It's good. I haven't seen a Goofy movie. It's good. A classic. It's good. You haven't either?

Nah. Caitlin and I were talking about how one of the best parts of a Goofy movie is you find out... Don't tell me. You find out Goofy's last name is Goof. Oh, I... Spoiler alert. They call him Max Goof.

You're like, wait, that means his dad is Goofy Goof? Goofy Goof. Yes. Hell yes. Oh, man. Like how DJ Khaled's real name is Khaled Khaled? Yeah. Is that true?

Yeah. Wow. So do we want to do a Goofy movie? We want to do 12 Monkeys? We want to do... Let's go to Goofy movie. I think that's... Got to start fun.

Classic. Looking at a film like that old that's meant for children through my adult eyes during the quarantine, I think I'm going to have a lot of interesting analyses. Yes. A goofy movie. That is courtesy of Ohal

D. Roy. That was his recommendation. Well, then watch over the weekend, y'all. You got your homework so you don't get left behind on this discussion Alright We're gonna watch it I'm looking forward to it And that's one that I can probably watch with my kids

You can watch 12 Monkeys with your kids Yeah yeah For sure I mean they've seen all my top 5 They've seen Pulp Fiction They've seen 12 Monkeys Pulp Fiction That's just good parenting.

Yeah. That's my favorite kids movie. That's just good parenting. Oh, yeah. Mine was Eraserhead. Reservoir Dogs. Goofy movie. All good dog movies.

Cool. Laci, it's been a pleasure having you, as always. Oh, it's been so fun. On the Daily Zeitgeist. Nice to see you. Where can people find you and follow you? You can find me at D-I-V-A-L-A-C-I-D-V-A-L-A-C-E on all platforms. If you want to hear my podcast, Scam Goddess Pod.

We recently got into Twitter fights during the quarantine, which was fun and exciting. If you're into that sort of thing. Famous Twitter beef. Yes. Yes. And there is one quarantine app, but the sound quality is trash. And I told everybody that a bunch.

And then they still tweeted at me like, Lacey, this sound. And I was like, bitch, I told you. I told you. So, you know, I don't know if we're going to do any more quarantine apps

because we have banked episodes. But, you know, hey, whatever. Worth a shot. Right. And tweets that I have been enjoying. Oh, also, single parents this week. There's a full episode of me having a baby that came out on Wednesday. So if you want to go see me have a baby on TV, like, do that.

And then a tweet that I've been enjoying. I have two, guys. One is going to require some little audio. So I'm going gonna try to play it through my mic so you guys can hear it but here's the one that i'm gonna read um look i'm not gonna shame someone for coming out but pollen you should you could have waited we're literally in a pandemic uh and that's for all my allergy people because every time i take a social distancing walk my nose start running and i'm like i got the, Cardi B's voice comes in my head like, coronavirus.

this is from at Skug it says millennial culture is texting someone to let them know you're going to call them so they can mentally prepare for the eventual phone call which which i think it gets even worse when it comes into zoom because i'm like a on on the phone i'm a pacer so being like confined by Zoom is also a whole other level. Oh, isn't that how the CIA gave Bin Laden the codename in Zero Dark Thirty? The pacer?

The pacer? Yeah, because he would go outside and walk back and forth. I don't know. Again, don't ask me why. Zero Dark Thirty hive. Bigelow hive. Miles, where can people find you? What's a tweet you've been enjoying?

Twitter, Instagram, PlayStation Network, Miles of Grey. And also my other podcast, 420 Day Fiance with Sophia Alexandra getting high, talking about just a wonderful garbage show that is 90 Day Fiance. A tweet that I like is from past guest Alyssa Lynn Paris. And I can relate as someone who is shacked up and quarred up. Then her tweet says, so how was your day? Me to my boyfriend after spending every waking second with him. It's just weird. We have these habitual pleasantries still hardline, and you're like, oh, so how was work today?

And I'm like, I know you heard me screaming through the door anyway. So it's not much new. I said, I said good morning to my boyfriend this morning. And he said, don't lie. Jesus. It's really dark. That's like some grizzled old man shit.

Don't lie. Oh, also, sorry. One more tweet because a lot of, uh, Zyte gang were tagging me and it was from the onion. It said from at the Onion, boyfriend announces plan to spend infuriating afternoon speaking

in Australian accent. Oh my God. Wow. You better hold on to your butts, mate, because I'm about to get into a really bad habit. That's amazing. Aaron Burdett tweeted, if I was James Bond and a woman told me her name was Pussy Galore my first question would be what

and then Mary HK Choi tweeted can someone fix bacon packaging this has gone on long enough that's just true that is true Oscar Mayer that's his appeal part yeah but you don't get that in all the bacons.
