We are thrilled to be joined for the first time on the Daily Zeitgeist but one of my favorite guests from the Cracked Days.

He's a very funny comedian. He is Mr. Steven Wilbur. Cut my life into Stevens. This is my last Wilbur. Yay! That was good. That was amazing, man. Big Papa Roach fan?

Big time, huh? I man. Big Papa Roach fan? Oh. Big time, huh? I'm Grandpapa Roach. Grandpapa Roach. Pappy Roach. And you were saying- What? Pappy Roach? I remember Pappy Roach.

And you were saying before we started recording- I lose my sight way before they did. You were saying before we started recording, that isn't even your favorite song. That song's just for the people, but the real heads know. Like Papa Roach. Oh, my fail. The deep cut Papa Roach tracks. I love, man, Blister, Sunscorch Scar.

Wow. Are those real things? Sure. Probably. Steven, you live in Portland. Yes, land of Lincoln. As it's known. You've been up here for a couple years now?

Yeah. How's it going? It's going okay. One of my favorite K-pop superstars was at Blazers game the other night, and I didn't know about it. I'm kind of miffed about that. But otherwise, I'm doing okay. Who's the K-pop superstar? G-Dragon from Big Bang. Damn.

Yeah, he just popped in. And I'm miffed. Are you a big Blazers fan? Oh, God, no. Big G-Dragon fan, though. Just big G-Dragon. Yeah, Blackpink was in the lobby earlier today. You just missed him.

You're probably kicking yourself. He just burst into tears. He just burst into flames. I'm out of here. All right. We're going to get to know you even better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about. Papa John's has a new innovation.

Yum, yum, yum. Post-Shack innovation. The Shack era, finally. Big Papa energy. We're going to talk about Trump rallies. They're just basically him threatening people now, it seems like. It's the equivalent of wagging a fist in anger at a room full of people. Right.

We're going to talk about the gig economy, which, I mean, can't be beat. We're all big fans. We're going to talk about Taylor Swift, who is the new Zach De La Rocca. De La Rocca? De La Rocha. Rocha? Rocha. How do you?

Kim Basinger? Taylor Swift, the new Zach De La Rocca. Elon Musk has a new EDM track, all of that and plenty more. But first, Stephen, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Everything that's a talking point today, because I'm freaking out over all of this, doing the podcast and stuff so i i i furiously like am on my phone like oh trump said what like right because i am i am not normally a a current events fellow current events fellow like the first rule of being on the show is you gotta love cake first the band yeah yeah okay well i didn't thank Anna, for telling me that.

Now recite the first lyrics of The Distance, please. Or you have to get out. Reluctantly crouched at the starting line. See, you're going to fit right in. That was high pressure, too. Wow. I would not have gotten that. Is he going to, that son of a bitch will hold it off?

What's something you think is overrated? Overrated? Yes. Ooh, okay. Welcome to Hot Take Corner with Stephen Willard. French fries. Are overrated? Overrated.

Go on. They're not, the juice is not worth the squeeze with French fries, I think. They're vessels, they're ketchup vessels, basically. And they get cold way too fast. And it's never worth it for me. If those brain boxes at CERN can invent a French fry that stays warm over five minutes, then we can loop back.

But they're not worth it it's a it's a location-based food you know like you don't travel well you're gonna know the best moments are when you're at a location eating them as someone who sadly had to eat a filet-o-fish sandwich at one in the morning last night and it got old fries yeah Yeah, look. Oh my God, Miles. Zach King was really out here. I learned. I was like, I need this for Little Fish, bro. Never Postmates a burger and fries. Oh yeah, that's like the one thing you can't do.

No, it never holds. No. And yet, I disagree with that take that French fries are overrated. Actually, you made a pretty compelling case. Think about the greatest French fries you've had, and then think about all the french fries you've had. What's the percentage of great french fries versus just this is filler for my meal?

The fries at Bar Bar were pretty good. Yeah, they weren't bad. Shout out to Bar Bar. Shout out to Bar Bar. Ladies night. Ladies night at to shout out to them. Shout out to Barbar. Shout out to Barbar. Shout out to Barbar. Ladies Night. Ladies Night. Barbar. Barbar.

It's Bad Bar Night at Barbar. Bad Bar Night. What is something you think is underrated? Spiders. Go off. Go off. I fuck with spiders so heavy. Please go.

Okay, tell me about it. Look. Talk that talk. And when I get a spider on me, I freak out. I like, I jump. But I would rather, for how infrequent that happens, I would rather have that happen than like constant buzzing of flies or a little mosquito knocking on my nose. And spiders help prevent that. Yeah.

I appreciate that. Your relationship to mosquitoes, by the way, different than mine, because mosquitoes never knock on my nose. Yeah, they just bite the shit out of me. They just barge in. Yeah, they just barge right the front of you. Are you one of the people who acts as the,

like you're the distraction for other people because you're getting all the bites? No, I'm not. My wife is, actually. Oh, oh that's me terrible they like people are like hey miles come over here and just all the mosquitoes bite me instead of them my wife and my uh first born are both the like just complete mosquito magnets and me and my youngest are just like over here partying yeah you swap your wife's perfume with sugar water yeah it's like it's like the equivalent of using someone as a human shield for mosquitoes it's like why do you just keep sucking those jolly ranchers and spitting into that bottle

making a new perfume when you eat up and i'll tell you uh what uh spiders just because they kill pests yeah i think i they look creepy sure Yeah, I think they look creepy, sure. But I think they're doing a lot of good behind the scenes that we don't appreciate. They're also just ingenious. Like they're one of the most amazing things in nature. Like if I had to watch a three-hour nature documentary about any subject,

like made by a really good documentary filmmaker, spiders would probably be the subject. You think about that if you go, if they're good. I think about it now as it's brought up. But I'm saying, but now you're saying like, I need a three. What about it? Spiders are just. Is it like the webs?

I love the webs. At Cracked, we wrote about. You gotta love the webs. Gotta love the webs. We wrote about a lot of different animals and parts of nature, and spiders are just ingenious killing machines. They're so amazingly advanced and engineered just to hunt, and it's really easy to anthropomorphize them and just be like,

God damn. to anthropomorphize them and just be like, God damn. So what blows wind up your skirt about spiders is their ability to murder. Well, but in clever ways, though. Well, yeah, I think, you know, as somebody who was raised on slasher movies, like, yeah, who, like, grew up watching Jason movies and was genuinely, genuinely am jealous of kids now for having the internet so they can just watch all the Jason Kills compilations.

Oh, right. You would have just rather watched that. Yeah. I mean, it's sick. It's not a good thing. American culture has fucking destroyed me. You fuck with the movie Arachnophobia? Not really.

Weird. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know. Weird. I contain multitudes. You seem like a bit of a tourist. A arachnotourist. Yeah, but watching them close up,

really terrifying and cool big university of richmond spiders fan oh yeah now that now you're talking my language brother i only have a t-shirt i say this all the time i want about i need the jersey because they're their mascots the spiders so like just seeing a basketball jersey that says spiders on the front is just rad a fucking amazing to me what uh what's the australian term not here to fuck somebody to fuck yeah not here to fuck spiders it's true i'm not yeah right not need to fuck spiders uh what i'm here to not fuck spiders and chew gum and i'm all out of gum so uh and finally what is a, Stephen? What's something people think is true, you know to be false, or vice versa?

Something people think is false, you know to be true. What's a thing? Icarus. Okay. That shit didn't happen. You're the second person to point that out. Kind of a weird story. Hard to believe.

Yeah. At me. I don't give a fuck. I'll say it. Whoa, whoa. Don't at me. I don't want that out. Kind of a weird story. Hard to believe. Yeah. At me. I don't give a fuck. I'll say it. Don't at me. I don't want that smoke. I'm not into Icarus erasure. You know what didn't have smoke? Those wax wings.

Oh boy. Alright. Let's talk about Papa John. Finally. Okay. So do you remember in August we talked about that quote unquoteunquote secret video Shaq took when he went to a board meeting of Papa John? Corporate spy, Shaq.

Hey, I'm in the boardroom. We're going to look at a secret meeting. And it was the most produced thing that you'd ever seen. And clearly there was a thing that they were alluding to called a papadia. And we're like, what the fuck is this? Well, now, hark and behold death it is the papadilla has arrived wow and it looks like i don't a flat bread it looks like a

soft taco mulita kind of thing yeah it looks like a taco bell uh just they want you to know off top this is not a ripoff of the quesadilla, okay? It's actually- It's called the papadilla? Yeah, but it's not a take on that, okay? It's actually inspired by the piadina, an Italian flatbread sandwich from the historic Romagna area of Northern Italy, okay? So even though it sounds phonetically more like quesadilla right god forbid papa john's associate themselves with

mexican cuisine they're just getting over a racism pr problem right and they're like it's not it's from it's from the old country wouldn't it be papadina yeah papadina papadina nah because then they're gonna be like that maybe that didn't test well. You know how they fucking... You know how... No, it's meant explicitly to be a case of... Papa Pia? Papa Pia. Papa Pia. Papa Pia. The alliterative quality of that word, I think, really, Papa Pia.

Pia Papa. Well, that's a thing. Mama Mia, Papa Pia. Maybe he had a diarrhea. That's a thing. Maybe he had a diarrhea. That's a thing that you said. I don't know that.

We were saying earlier that old folk folk song from the old times yeah so they're offering it look they're they're offering it in four different varieties there's italian with alfredo spicy italian sausage salami mozzarella and banana peppers r.i.p your intestines good thing that chef's kiss emoji came out. The Philly cheesesteak. That one makes more sense. What's Philly sauce, Jack? I don't know, man. Yeah, probably whiz. I guess.

Yeah. If I had to guess, I would say it is mayonnaise. Philly sauce? Well, just based on every execution of Philly cheese steak that i've had from a mass chain papa john's yeah so i was like and here's the and here's the mayo you always want here's like hot steak like hot wet steak some manner of cheese and mayonnaise which the heat just turns into translucent grease film but like anyway uh then there's a if you are lucky then

they have grilled chicken and bacon chicken onions bacon mozzarella barbecues okay that's straightforward meatball pepperonis spicy that's the only one that makes sense pepperoni pizza sauce mozzarella italian seasoning yeah they have spicy meatballs i'd fuck with that one actually you think it's really gonna be species spicy though probably not no no i mean because it's boardroom spicy yeah right which just means like oh my god did you crack some pepper over this? Right. Hot, hot, hot.

For one second. Yeah. I mean, I think all credit due to every great American company knowing, look, we have a racism PR crisis. We'll hire a person of color to be the new face. And all is forgiven. But shout out to Shaq for getting the bag. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. face and all is forgiven but shout out to shack for getting the bag oh yeah yeah uh they definitely definitely an upgrade from uh what the sweaty man yeah just a wet what was his large bloated racist what was his stat again he's like i had 40 pizzas in 30 days yeah yeah i've been having yeah it was something like 40 i I went to college too. Yeah. What's your point? He was talking about how he's been evaluating them. He's been doing that as part of his overall commitment to... Yeah. It's not part of his job anymore.

Yeah, it's not part of his job. He just does it as like a... It's a calling. Yeah. I think that's what he was trying to establish. Always stay vigilant. Yeah. other world yeah he's like part of his job he just does it as like a it's a calling yeah i think that's what he was trying to establish like it's a vigilant yeah just to keep an eye on like our pizza offerings like that that we have as fast food yeah and does he does he eat just papa john's branded pizza or is he i think he's doing deep recon on all the well that i've had 50 pizzas in 30 days thing was a run-up to him criticizing the Papa John's pizza.

So he was trying to act like, look, I'm not just taking shots because I'm an angry guy who got fired for a good reason. I'm a connoisseur. I had 50 pizzas in 30 days and it gave me diarrhea. Something needs to be done about this.

What's going on at Papa John's? PR crisis much? And he also, in that same interview, talked about how a day of reckoning is coming, which is... Yeah, it was weird. That FBI should be keeping an eye on that. He's sweaty pizza Bane.

He's going to walk out at the Super Bowl after bombing the field and being like, yeah, your day of reckoning is up. It has arrived. I've had 40 pizzas and terrible diarrhea in my weird coat. I was building to 40 pizzas in three days. We need to keep an eye on Papa, but shout out to Shaq and the new Papa John's. Somewhere in this article, they talk about how it's, because it's not a flatbread thing.

They say we use Papa John's not a flatbread thing. They say we use Papa John's classic crust that everybody loves to make this abomination. And so that's just a folded pizza. Right. Oh, boy. Come on. We were doing so good, man. I guess.

Oh, Pop, what are they going to do now? Don't bring this truth out into the light forever. New York pizza is already folded. I mean, I wonder if they're making it on a panini press. I don't know. Either way... Do you think they put little grill marks on it? Yeah, maybe. If they grill it, then it would be a little bit different than the toaster conveyor belt

that they send other pizzas through. I'm assuming that's how Papa does it. Yeah, wow. I'm sure there's a Papa does it. I'm just saying there might be a little more nuance to this item. Don't count it out. I'm just saying texturally there might be something different about it.

It's got a little bit of a different mouthfeel than traditional pizza slice. All right, guys. We're going to take a quick break during which we will surely continue to discuss this. And we'll be right back. I've been thinking about you.

How's everybody doing? What a break. Well, we definitely broke the toilet. Yeah. Just thinking about the podcast. Looking at the photo made me just start farting uncontrollably. There's a power to it, I got to admit. Let's talk about Trump's rally.

He had two rallies last week, and they're choking me up just thinking about it. The Des Moines rally on Thursday night, I didn't get a chance to really look at some of the clips from it. Going through it now, oh my, it's, I don't even know what to think. My head is so spun from the lack of guardrails we have in D.C. right now that to just see the president go out to a place like Des Moines, and even early on in his speech say something like this, okay, this is, this is, well, this is... You're going to play? Okay. Well, this is...

I'm just going to read this quote first. I have other ones. We'll listen to his voices. But just reading this is absurd. He goes, look, you know, I could have made this speech really short. All I have to do is say, hello, Iowa. You have no choice but to vote for me. Otherwise, everything you have loved in your entire life will be gone.

Goodbye, Iowa. Have a good time. Instead, I work my ass off up here. Okay? True. You think this is easy? It's a little hot in this room. This room wasn't designed for this many people.

What? This is very early on in his speech. Dude, say goodbye to everything you've ever loved. What the fuck does that even mean? Yeah. It's just his yeah i don't know how much the fear-based motivation is gonna work these like because now it's not like i got i got it in 2016 you know what i mean but now knowing what he's what he does with his power that then

he's like oh everything could be gone it's like i don't even think we had everything we wanted so what what yeah why would it have worked better in 2016 than it will now i just feel like before the it was easier to create a like a world as it could be scenario when he wasn't in power right like there's the variable there was that i'm not the president but see this is what it could be you know how fucked everything is now like i'm gonna make it better cut to he's in power nothing's better farm bankruptcies are up there's nothing and then so now he's like everything could be gone they're like dude what the fuck are you talking about like you didn't even you didn't even get us to a point where the amazing stuff that i did for you could yeah could go away like net would nothing happened right uh yeah uh it's times like this that I would love to be a Republican because that would have made me so rock hard.

Watching him talk like that. I'm on the wrong side. Not I'm out on the wrong side, but I'm not on his side right now. But on his side, that's so fucking cool. If you believe that, you're like yeah yeah and that's what that's what terrifies me the most because history has shown that we vote for the cooler person right yeah right yeah and what's cooler than threatening you with the like annihilation of everything you've known and loved? Well, it's a different type of cool shirt.

It's pretty metal. He's got that Don Draper and definitely not the same Don Draper. But like, hey, I'm a monster, but you're still going to watch me. And we don't have anybody that cool. Bernie is like the closest thing to cool and he's as cool as like a rapping grandma like whoa you know rough rider anthem grandma i i yeah he i get it i i do feel like this is now a out of control locomotive that we can't pull oh absolutely this is over now like our country so something terrible is gonna happen because like he is

now officially like doesn't there's no consequences he knows it he's proud of it he's bragging about the fact that there's no consequences and he doesn't need to do shit to like keep people on his side to continue to be on his side and a cult of personality and now like that's a fit that's been made official yeah i mean well depending on like whatever the fuck is going on with you and now he's just sort of like still he he's just got him on the dude you better not right you better not vote for you better not right like listen listen listen to this fucking soundbite okay of him telling just tell me if this would motivate you and if we don't win your farms are going to hell i can tell you right sell sell they'll be saying sell now we uh we Now, we love the farmers and we love the ranchers.

We love the farmers and we love the ranch? Hey, your farms are going to go to hell if we lose. No, but seriously, love the farmers, love the ranch. Love the farmers. Don't love their sinning farms, though. Right. Right. Then there's even more. this is just i don't know

these promises of prosperity are another really interesting uh obviously great tactic when you're trying to motivate someone for listening uh for voting for you yeah but very like organized crime style you people are gonna make so much money you You're not going to do just, you know what? Just relax. Take it easy. Put it away. Enjoy your life. But you're going to make a lot of money. You're going to make a lot of money.

Put what away? What are you tuck? Tuck your wiener back in your pants. You're going to be fine. You're you're going to make a lot of money and then save it, put it away. And you're going to make a lot of money folks then save it put it away and you're gonna make a lot of money folks yeah i i get that part wait but what if you're not a business owner right what

does that mean to you like i'm trying to actually put myself i mean i guess the very abstract nebulous version to someone who is like a worker right a business owner right like is thinking okay so that my company does well maybe I'll have a job for longer. Right. Is that what helps sell them on that idea? Whereas I get a business owner, they can at least draw lines to this kind of thinking. Right. But if you're just barely getting by...

Well, he's a cartoon rich guy. We're all... So he's like, I have money. I'm going to make sure you have lots of money. And what us rich people do with our money we put it away and like that's the thing that most people don't have even like the possibility of so the idea that like he's just gonna you know make it so you have the ability to like think three steps ahead is like his his cartoon rich guy promised i mean most people

function to be like oh i'm gonna make so much money so you're raising the minimum wage right you're going to make my health care costs lower so i don't know it's a cultural personality but i mean you're gonna own a business but that's the difference right i think that's the difference in what's motivating people like on some level there are people who are in tune with what the idea or even concept of making more money is, functionally to you as a human being who walks the earth. Actually, that doesn't happen unless my wages go up, unless my benefits are better, versus this more MTV Cribs version, like, you're going to be balling so hard. I mean, they're going to be like, wow, look at him.

He's a baller at him he's baller he's a baller he made so much money it's he's not thinking any deeper than just what what is going to yeah make sense to somebody who just walked into the room yeah and i think but yeah that's just a messaging thing i feel like helps people too like if you can actually yes the idea i'm gonna make so much money is great but like i think the candidates who are trying to tie that to how that relates to every person right is going to hopefully that will be the kind of messaging that wins nah but you never know baby because i don't know because he can cheat for yeah like legally now well right there's a lab there's nothing that's going to stop him.

And now, like, knowing we were talking about this, just the waning power of conservatives are like, this is it, bro. Like, we got to hold the fucking line here. Yeah, yeah. Death cult. We're all on this together. And just one last one,

because we just do need to bring up death, because it wouldn't be a Trump rally without that. Here's this other one. You know, just, I think the people of Iowa who know about every you know how farms work cows this probably resonated with them too wonderful cows i love cows they want to kill our cows you know why right you know why don't say they want to kill our cows. That means you're next. And they want to wipe out, totally, Iowa ethanol.

They want to wipe it out. Wait, he said that the Democrats want to kill the people? Kill our cows and you're next. That seemed pretty clear. Well, personally, Dems can try. You can kill my cows when you pry them from my cold, dead hands. But you'll never take our cows. Which they will. Both things.

I don't... I mean, that doesn't... Like, I guess it... That's why everyone laughed, though. Right, because they know they're being lied to, but they love it, I think, is sort of where we're at. Right, because they know they're being lied to, but they love it, I think is sort of where we're at. I think, yeah, there is a weird, morbid sense of humor that you can kind of feel in this room. Yeah.

Like, you know, where like, they laugh nervously too. Like, because there are people who like, yeah, they're cows. Right. But then even though, then he's like, and you're next. You're like, what does that even mean? Right. But they laugh because, and like the people's face in the back are like dude get a load of this senile dude who's like our president kind of hilarious to check out yeah there's like i think a meme quality too for some people that are there also who like agree with him but also like they they're

into the fucking just the vibes of this place and they said the vibes in there were very light because there was like this feeling of like we did it the senate trial the sham trial being done or there was like this relief in there yeah uh that was yeah if he did these speeches at wrestlemania they would have the exact same vibe and wouldn't feel out of place at all. They're gonna kill your cows. And you're next. Cool, man. No, boo!

I mean, then it all comes out. We should be really worried, though, if he says, and you're next and the crowd went, no fucking way! Then I'd be like, holy shit. Good thing I brought this board with a nail in it. Yeah. I mean, literally, he is a wrestler just fucking wailing on people with a folding chair when the ref's back is turned.

ref in a wrestling match like where the you know that is like cartoonishly being distracted is essentially what the senate is at this point yeah yeah yeah yeah like they're not even trying well the senate is the wrestler with the chair the ref with the back turned is like all of our institutions or like maybe more the maybe more the judicial branch. Right. Like, eh, we're also kind of. Yeah, yeah. We should normally be running shit, but what do you know? Anyways, we're fucked.

Speaking of us being fucked, the gig economy. So before everything became an app, we used to do things like ask a friend to help us with moving, which was annoying, or asking people for a friend to help us with moving, which was annoying. Or asking people for a ride to the airport, especially annoying in LA. But that was like a thing you did. You did favors for people. Yeah, easily. And then they would do favors back to you.

Yeah. And then you would develop something called a friendship. Then they do favors back to you? Back to you. Not for you. They do a favor at you. Do a favor on me. Yeah, do me a favor? Do three favors at me. Do a favor on the? Back to you. Back for you. They do a favor at you. Do a favor on me. Yeah, do me a favor? Do three favors at me. Do a favor on the small on my back.

It's changed. I remember being like, yo, dude, give me a ride. I'll smoke you out. Right. You know what I mean? Here, I'll give you something. Help me move. I'll smoke you out.

Help me out. I'll smoke you out. Take care of my child. I'll smoke you out. Raise my son. I'll smoke you out. Be the godfather of my child. I'll smoke you out uh take care of my child i'll smoke you out raise my son i'll be the godfather but yeah like now if you know like you know cabs and nannies and other things like that have

existed but they used to be only for accessible to a certain class and now like if you have a any amount of disposable income there's a way to like whether it's an uber or a task rabbit people can start solving problems just by sort of just throwing money at it and it makes sense too because on some level like you would never expect these people to just do a favor for a stranger for free so there is some kind of monetary exchange but now what would fran drescher's star rating be if she was a gig economy nanny? Was she a good nanny? She was, right?

I feel like she was really there for them kids. I mean, she was definitely unorthodox, but I think the love was there. Absolutely. But there's a professor on culture and media who's writing a book that's called Uber Worked and Underpaid, How Workers Are Disrupting the Digital Economy. It says, what used to be friends among favors now has a price tag, the pickup from the airport, hauling clothes to laundry, or helping to paint the apartment. And we are now witnessing a financialization of activities that used to be an expression of social capital, which is interesting because, yeah, this helps create community right you know like you knew like oh hell yeah like that's my friend let me help you i know there will be reciprocity at

some point but now that we're able to just sort of be like i don't want to inconvenience them on some level these things do help because it there are people who will take advantage of your kindness and you can set boundaries and be like look i can't do it because you're trying to take advantage of my kindness right call. Call this person. Yeah. But at the same time, you do lose that bit of feeling of connection where like there is sort of community to a certain extent. Right. Yeah.

I think, I mean, we know our neighbors less than we used to, which I think is a thing that's been happening for a while now, but is probably at its peak. been happening for a while now but is probably at its peak so we're doing this live show that is about like partially about the tech bubble bursting and like the thing that seems to be changed like there were these companies like pets.com that were essentially amazon for pet products and now amazon is the most successful company ever amazon is amazon for right amazon is amazon for pet products and everything else and the innovation is they've figured out that they can just like treat people like shit kind of like behind the scenes and as long as we don't see it they can like just make that into economies of scale that they can just like turn into all the money in the world well i think in the 90s right it was harder to get

as many people who would go for this kind of work because there were still a lot of jobs available to most people right and then as the economy began to get more and more depressed like like i think amazon came about at this perfect time where now you have people who are like i'll take i'll take any kind of work because they're the apps like the wage stagnation and things like this is preventing people from being able to live properly right so yeah i think they're the thing about the like knowing your neighbors in the mid 70s there's a study they say in the mid 70s only about 20 of of Americans said they had no interactions with their neighbors. Now it's like over a third.

Yeah. Like increasing more. Cause yeah, most people are sort of just walled off. I don't know. It's different. It's a lot different. And even now,

like I try and make a point to talk to my neighbors because like there's, there's something weird about just not knowing somebody yeah and if like you kind of want to know like you live in a community you know like where a if keep an eye out or something if you saw some shit like holler at me like oh i saw your you know your package was outside for two days i brought that shit in because i don't want somebody you know that like there's a there's a benefit to that but i think it's it's really easy to not do it and these apps and things i think almost make like it makes it easier really easy to not do it. And these apps and things, I think almost make, like it makes it easier for us to forget

that those are bonds we kind of need to maintain. Yeah. What we've taken for granted. Well, you're also like, it's a good thing to be more connected with your neighbors and stuff. But when you're given the option to be in connected uh with your neighbors and stuff but when you're given the option to be in another community like on reddit of people that you know is a more vetted more uh filtered uh representation of your likes you're you're naturally gonna want to be like sure well i'd

rather talk to these people than these people who could have wildly different opinions oh yeah of course it's it's a hard yes yeah that's the same i mean that's the same with amazon like to be like the convenience and stuff and uber like you're you're yeah i mean uber is a definitely picking convenience i think it was Jelani Cobb was writing about how, I mean, writing about it. He tweeted that the whole policing how much people tip and being like, look at this receipt from this famous person. They barely tipped and just how we,

that whole thing is just companies transferring the fact that they don't pay their employees enough onto us. Yeah, absolutely. Like Uber was just like, okay, now there's a tip button. You subsidize their wages. Right. You subsidize their wages because we don't pay them enough. And also there's an incentive structure where they rate you.

So you have to tip them a lot basically or else you're gonna get a low rating but i mean at the same time it's like a service we didn't used to have right so what happens when you i i honestly don't know this what happens when you the writer have a low rating on uber do do drivers not pick you up or do they play music you wouldn't like or like what is the you're canceled i believe yeah just in general you're does it have to get like really low though yeah and then they put a tweet out and they say this person's just canceled yeah because they're uber everyone i think it just i think probably at a certain level you might not be able to use the service so producer anna hosnia is saying that they also team you up with uh drivers who have low ratings oh that's why so so if you're a one-star

guy you get a one-star driver yeah wow do you think there's anybody either driver or rider who has one star like i think the lowest i've ever heard of is like four six oh really yeah nobody ever gives like a i don't know yeah it depends i mean it takes i think we've talked about in past episodes what it takes for you to fully be like i'm gonna fuck your rating up as a driver like this was actually fucked up because most of us know like there is this is where i guess the sense of community does kick in because you begin to be like i don't want to like fuck up your money right being like give you a four star or something like right and i also three star whatever yeah it's it's really the the decision you're making when you go from five to four is is it like do i want to steer this person's life in a different direction so that they can't make as much money at this

right so that because they shouldn't be driving people for a living like that's the decision making process that i would have to make to go from five to four four means you're you've failed epic you failed and you need to you need to start thinking about a different career that's wild that it's a one-star difference. But that's a B, right? Yeah, that was a B. B means you should get the fuck off the roads. Well, that's what, yeah, nobody gives low ratings

because we're all, it's like that Black Mirror episode with Bryce Dallas Howard. Is that a wrestler or an actress? Bryce Dallas Howard. She goes in the ring. No, but it's, yeah, where where everyone's just like five stars and five stars and we're all good yeah yeah exactly uh anyway well it's like almost a given you're like five stars five so you're good yeah yeah like cool cool that's our new social contract right um

that is where i do see that like because it's weird thinking about like you see uh i've had like seen like three star or twostar reviews for restaurants on Yelp and been like, yeah, but I want Chinese right now. Like, I'll go. But if I see a four-star rating on Uber, I'm like, what the fuck is going on? You'll do three or two-star rated food restaurants? Let's move on to the next topic. Wow. Wow, so you're just willing to like put actual

garbage in your body huh yeah give me that papadilla yeah that papapia all right uh well we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back i've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do.

Most of the time. And we're back and it's time for Music Corner. Where we check in with all the hottest sounds coming at you across the airway. That's spicy music. Spicy, spicy, spicy, spicy music. Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Yeah.

Oh, wow. Radio. What the fuck is this? Can we just do this for the rest of the show? You guys are so good off the rails yeah um so taylor swift uh is now our rage against the machine i mean you know she's very she was very apolitical up until like a maybe a year and a half ago a year ago in a study like very explicitly apolitical people were like yo you have a supporter

probably you have a huge conservative fan base probably can you say something and well through the 2016 election she was like it's nothing uh but it turns out it was because she just didn't think hillary was woke enough no i have no idea why. I don't know. I mean, she hasn't... Has she explained that? Like, what was she thinking? I think she just didn't... I don't know if she knew if she felt responsible to say something, like the responsibility

of having to say something or whatever, but... Or maybe they realized maybe it's better marketing. Yes, I think that's what it was. It used to be possible to sit this one out. and it became uh wildly unprofitable for her to continue to sit it well she's doing fine in the profit department right well now she is but she was i think she was struggling huh i do think this was a smart business decision on her part to like and probably a studied and carefully

chosen decision. I'm sure. In the, I mean it to us it did very well but Reputation did not do banger did it? No. I don't think so. I don't think so but I think it's more

I don't think it's really about album sales anymore so much as it's more... You hate to see that happen. I don't think it's really about album sales anymore so much as it's about endorsement deals. Oh, the money's coming from live shows. Right. That's where all these artists make their money now is from selling out stadiums. Right.

And I think she actually does believe these things, but yeah, at a certain level, it's like your brand is being managed by so many stakeholders. You don't know what to do. And I think now, with her new documentary miss americana she's got this song called only the young and it's you know before things had like a political tone but now it's the lyrics are like the game was rigged the ref got tricked the wrong ones think they're right you were outnumbered this

time okay wow a little bit more it'd be a lot harder to criticize or it'd be a lot easier to criticize that if we hadn't just made the exact same metaphor about the refs being tricked. Yeah. Fuck. Oh, God. Are we stealing from Taylor Swift?

I mean, it's like Simpsons. She's also the new Simpsons in that every joke you try to make, Taylor Swift's already made it. Right. Yeah. Then she also says, like, sort of about mass shootings,

you go to class scared, wondering where the best hiding spot would be, and the big bad man and his big bad clan their hands are stained with red huh it's awesome she's she's got a history of doing these flip-flops and having it go well for her um when remember when she wasn't on spotify and like that was a big deal people really were upset that her music wasn't on spotify and then when she finally did put it over there it was huge yeah when any other band would go it's like yeah you should build all this anticipation and then release it so if she's like switzerland on politics know, and then goes hard one way.

Right. That's going to make some impact. And that's I mean, I think I I'm just glad to see people with audiences try and like let them know. It's like, just so you know, like I'll try and use whatever platform I have to like actually have some kind of a message that isn't just like, is Trump that bad? Right. You know what I mean?

Because there are people could easily be doing that or saying nothing without realizing how much their fans care about what they think or believe. And if that can help some people, then fine, so be it. Personally, when I go on stage doing comedy, my life's passion, I like to say, you heard about this Trump guy? Yeah. What a bozo. This guy's a straight up doofus.

I try to just pepper that in there and be like, wow, okay. He took a side and I appreciate that. Yeah. Just off top. I think Trump's a bozo, okay? All right, now we get into the comedy. And that hair, hello.

You ever call him a cheeto because that is funny because because they're my favorites right um i like to call him an orange oh shit wow but oranges are orange but a blood orange or conflict oh All right. And now on to my favorite new artist in the world of EDM, electronic dance music. Erectile dysfunction music. Is his middle name start with a D?

Yeah, Elon D. Musk. Yeah, he changed his display name to EDM. I think maybe he just did that so it said EDM. Elon. Musk. Yeah, he changed his display name to EDM. I think maybe he just did that so it said EDM. Elon Dance Musk. Yeah. He's got a new track out, okay, called... Wait, what? Yeah, yeah.

What does that mean? He never had a track before. Oh, yeah, he did. Remember R.I.P. Harambe? Oh, you don't... There was that track that came out a while back, and now he's back because he has Emoji Records. That was his whole thing.

Wait, really? I didn't know the side of Elon Musk. Oh, man. Dude, this guy, he contains multitudes. He's truly a poly... He's a renaissance man. Elon Reeve Musk. And then, so now he's got that EDM music.

They're going to change EDM as a music to ERM. As he dropped this track called Don't Doubt Your Vibe. Oh, my God. This is amazing. He was like tweeting stuff like, I wrote the lyrics and performed the vocals. And then there's like photos of him in the studio, you know, like prove it. And then also when you see his bio, it says this is so born 69 days after 420 um that's pretty i don't like that is that true though i don't know dude i don't care but that's pretty stupid so stupid i love it dog that is

super tight dude you're on the wrong side of history on this one sorry guys that shit's dumb but it's tight as fuck dude fuck dude dude. Dude, 69 days after 420, dude? Oh, bro. So let me just play a little bit so we can get, just catch a vibe of Don't Doubt Your Vibe. 311 is 69 minutes before 420. Wow. Who would have thought?

I think he's right. I think it's true. Wow. Damn. So it's not just clever marketing, huh? No, man. Good. It's not just clever marketing No, man It's not just clever marketing

It's also true This is just a little bit of Don't Doubt Your Vibe What is that say? Don't doubt your vibe. What now? Because it's true. Because it's true. Your vibe is true.

Now, this is where it hits. Oh, my God, dude. Oh, my God. When the molly kicks in. Grimes. Grimes, honey. Yeah. Grimes. My dear Grimes. Come listen to this. Listen to this. oh my god dude oh my god when the molly kicks in right there grimes grimes honey yeah grimes my dear grimes come listen to this listen to this listen what i did the vocals are just all pitch shifted him just saying don't doubt your vibe because it's true i don't even know what that your vibe is true what if you're what if your vibe is debilitating anxiety

that's not a good tip to be like yeah that's true what you're feeling is real so identify with but when you think about it all the music is really like a message to himself elon to elon on elon you guys have to just be listening to it and if it resonates fine if you have like depression or anxiety or something don't doubt that like don't say oh that's just the papadilla i had earlier you know so i i agree with that a little bit strong message but what is grimes doing i know like one of our great artists is now yeah is is she uh are they having a child together is that confirmed that was the rumor that yeah i don't know how much of that Photoshop was Photoshop. Because she did a picture of her with a baby floating inside of her.

Oh, Grimes has confirmed pregnancy. Oh, thank God. So I wonder if her doctor has instructed her to stay away from that music because that can't be good for the baby. Grimes's or Elon Musk's? Grimes's. Right? Wait, what? I would just be worried about the health of the baby if she listens to that

because she has good taste in music. That child's going to end up not liking both of their parents. Right. Or it could be a warlord. Or it could be a warlord. A warlord with SpaceX money. And rubies in their pockets.
