Well, I hide them away. I hide them away usually during this time of year, but I found a couple.
Starting point is 00:03:11 So you know, it's a cheat day. I can have some acorns. I can have a couple more acorns from my stash. This is a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness. It is Friday, January 31st, 2025. What a January, guys. We made it to the end. And okay, January 2025. That sucked. February, everything's going to be better, right? Remember that one? People would blame bad stuff on the year it was. Oh, they're not done. Instead of realizing that things were just getting worse and worse. The good old days.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Oh my god. I just can't wait for 2019 to be over. A celebrity died? Anyways, my name is Jack O'Brien, aka pump pump pump pumper truck, pump pump pumper truck. You can't buy, you can't buy, no you can't buy a new or a truck. You can't buy, you can't buy, no you can't buy a new pump or a truck. Police got all that money. That one courtesy of First Blood 522 on the Discord in reference to
Starting point is 00:04:16 the story Jam, our writer Jam, wrote and researched about how private equity made it so that pumper trucks were too expensive. They cost a million dollars, literally a million dollars for a fire truck. And they were all broken and not fixable. And they couldn't buy any new ones during the LA fire. So wait, pumper truck is that actual pumper a truck pump? I does sound like a children's like what a child would call it. But yeah, that is one of the things. Pumper truck, pumper truck, bright and red.
Starting point is 00:04:50 That's the pumper truck. I don't know. That's how it sounds. It does. They're called pumper truck and ladder truck. Like, there's a reason that all children want to be firemen is because it was like a profession conceived of by children. It feels like it's a pumper truck.
Starting point is 00:05:09 It pumps the water. It's really it is cute watching kids watch little kids watch like fire trucks drive by and garbage trucks by by that's like a treasure. That's a privilege. Garbage trucks are a spectator sport that... Oh yeah. Live viewing of the garbage truck when my kids were a little bit younger.
Starting point is 00:05:32 Yeah. Fucking fun. Hell yeah. Run into the window. Every time it's like, oh! I dunked that one too. Hi! Hi!
Starting point is 00:05:42 And now you, and you also realize what a dickhead you are. Oh, should I have never acknowledged the garbage man? Yeah. Yay! Yeah. I'm so enthusiastic to say, I always greet you like this, huh? Yikes, I'm the piece of shit. We're friends.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Wow. Yeah. Anyways, I'm thrilled to be joined in our second seat, our Miles seat, soon to be our literal Miles seat again, by a brilliant comedian, writer, and actor, who's newest special is Daddy Long Legs. He's the coiner of the disgusting phrase, plumper's to describe his thighs unrelated to plumper trucks. Plumper's because his thighs are strong.
Starting point is 00:06:18 It's Blake Wexler. Hey, this is Blake Wexler, AKA Plumper Truck. No, this is Blake Wexler, AKA wake up in the morning feeling like Blake Wexler, AKA Plumper Truck.

Starting point is 00:07:48 I just picked up a new mic, weirdly. Yeah. I don't know. Hey, hope you're doing well. Hope you're not doing well. Hey, hope you and yours are doing well. More like Blake doesn't waste no time, Ler. That's right.

However, I hope you drive to a nearby area that will have me because Augusta, Georgia is kind of deep out there, bro. I can't be coming to just every city. You know what I'm saying? But Zeit Gang all day.
Starting point is 00:09:04 You guys are so supportive. Appreciate all you. I just want to give a special shout out to Wesley Vaughn. Pew, pew, pew! Yeah. Who will never see you live, but can watch your great special. He said he will drive out and I believe him,
Starting point is 00:09:17 but I just want you to know Wes, I ain't coming out to Augusta, all right? Play boy. Augusta, is that where? No, Maygoosta, Augusta. That's where the golf course is. And I right, play boy. Augusta, is that where it is? No, Augusta. Golf courses. And I won't play there. I won't play golf there. I will perform there.
Starting point is 00:09:32 They've been asking you to come down to the Masters for a while. Is that true? Is that true? Because I feel like you're pulling my daddy long leg. Mommy long leg. It's a lot of leg based comedy with Blake. I don't know if you've noticed that. I should have done. That's why I should have done my eight-way. It hits the logo bell.
Starting point is 00:09:47 I'm going to redo my intro. It's me, Marcella, AKA Mommy Long Legs in the easy. There it is. Marcella, we're thrilled to have you back. I'm so glad that you are surviving Chicago. I'm so happy to be here. The cold. It's freezing. Whatever would I do?
Starting point is 00:10:04 It got into the 40s in LA and I was like, that's not supposed to happen. That's freezing. That's so cold. And you just mentioned, put on my biggest coat. It was like negative 10. It was like negative 10, the wind chill got to like negative 30. I was like, oh my God, I'm gonna disintegrate.
Starting point is 00:10:23 I'm gonna step outside. I am not built for that. Well, we're glad you have not disintegrated yet. Me too. We're thrilled to have you here. As always, we're gonna tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about and then we will get to know you a little bit better.
Starting point is 00:10:34 But the most important thing they need to know is that every second Thursday at Lincoln Lodge in Chicago, I have a monthly show called Comedy is Dead. I would love for you guys to come see me after this break. Is that what you're doing, going to break? No, not to break. We're gonna take two breaks. We're gonna take two breaks. We actually just started.
Starting point is 00:10:47 We're gonna do back to back breaks. Take a couple breaks real quick. And we're back. And we're back. And we will be talking about, I will just check in with RFK Jr. confirmation hearing, see how that's going. He's in the studio with us.
Starting point is 00:11:01 The voice goes down smooth and yeah, I just want, like I don't really have much to report from his hearing so much as I just want to like run through some greatest hits of the things he has said he believes. Yeah. More to sing. I just want to hear, I just want to know how soon we're going to see RFK Jr. at one of these WWE Netflix live events.
Starting point is 00:11:21 I want to know how soon that's going to happen because that's coming. Oh yeah. What month are those? Thursdays? I think a week from today probably. that's going to happen, because that's coming. Oh, yeah. What one are those? Thursdays? I think a week from today, probably. It's going to be nice. This is going to be nice.
Starting point is 00:11:30 This administration feels like it's WWE. It's like, what if the actual United States of America was run by WWE villains? And specifically like WWE, not WWF when you got like the real grimy, hardcore pure cocaine shit. WWE infected with corporate bullshit, too much outside influence. It was now such a numbing. Shit. It's shit all the way down. You got to say it.
Starting point is 00:12:00 We'll talk about the Pentagon deciding that Black History Month isn't a thing anymore and just generally. Blah, blah, blah. Bring my own soundboard. Sudden concern about plagiarism. We don't need a fucking soundboard. No, those are expensive. Those are wonderful. Netflix did their big programming preview
Starting point is 00:12:19 for the press and announced all the shit that's coming in the next year. First looks, first looks. At a glance. So I don't know. Take a couple of look at some things that might be crossing over into the zeitgeist and we'll look at Clinton Tarantino's claim. Every time I use the titular word from the title, you give me that and I appreciate it. Look how he starts stumbling and fumbling.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Look at him, he can't even. Anyways. You know he got a boner right now. He's appreciate it. Look how he starts stumbling and fumbling. Look at him, he can't lose. Oh, that was, anyways. And listeners, you know he got a boner right now. He's got it. Mm. Oh boy. I hate Jack's boners. Oh boy, she got me.
Starting point is 00:12:52 That doesn't sound like him. That's so funny. Might even talk about Quentin Tarantino saying, movies ended six years ago, but before we get to any of that bullshit, Marcella is on one and we want to get to know her better. Yeah. You were about to say, you know. Come on, this, I got up early. I did a lot of action this morning.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Played Connect Four with my boo. We like did rounds and rounds. How'd you do? I was whooping that ass. Yeah. And then we got, we finally came up and we got to our last two chips. We went to the brim. This is my favorite way to play last two chips. We went to the brim. This is my favorite way to play the game, all the way to the brim.
Starting point is 00:13:27 All the way to the top. And he won. He won. He got me on that one. He won one? On that last one. That was hard, but you gotta give it to, you know, the people that put in the effort, put in the work. You gotta respect the game.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Other people bring to the table. I had a very young cousin. Back to you, Mike. Back to you, Jack. I had a very young cousin who was like a Kinect 4 prodigy, you know, and when I was in my 20s, like she was beating everybody in the family. God, you love talking about her, huh? And I...
Starting point is 00:13:53 Here we go again with the cutting up, playing Kinect 4. This is fifth time I've talked about her this week. But then I beat her and everyone was like, well, you beat the fucking eight-year year old in Kinect 4, dude? What's your fucking problem? I was like, I thought we were playing for real. I thought that was like the point.
Starting point is 00:14:10 No, you beat a prodigy. So is she a prodigy or not? Yeah, exactly. Fuck. Fuck indeed. Did you hit her? That is what I said in front of. Did you flip the table after you won?
Starting point is 00:14:19 Yeah, and I, yeah, flipped the table. You were never invited back again. Fucking face. All right, before we get to any of that, Marcella, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Today, I searched how to convert oil to butter, like the ratio of like substituting
Starting point is 00:14:38 when you're baking butter. Petroleum. You're an idiot, bro. You're a co-host and you're talking to me like that? I'm not, I'm asking you a question. I'm asking you a question. Marcella, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know we don't answer questions anymore. Is it petroleum oil?
Starting point is 00:14:52 You know, under the Trump administration, you don't get to ask me anything, okay? I get to say what I want. Exactly. There's a part where you say that women aren't allowed, women don't get to... Okay, will you count me in? This is, you know, women aren't allowed. Women don't get to. Okay, we count me in. We count me in. This is though, you know, women aren't allowed. So yeah, under this.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Wow. Wow. Wow, Jack, this is the kind of co-host you guys bring onto the Daily Zeitgeist nowadays. Yeah, we're trying to court controversy. We're trying to get some viral TikToks going. Ever since the fires, you guys have really changed the tone in here.
Starting point is 00:15:25 That's right. It really, the asbestos is getting to you, isn't it? Just sucking it in every time you step out to take your kids. We put the best. Yeah. Asbestos. Yes.
Starting point is 00:15:34 The Daily Zeitgeist putting the best in asbestos. Back to you, Tom. Back to you. What are you talking about? Who's Tom? So this morning I was making cookies and I'm trying to, you know, during the holidays, that's when I use the butter, I use the creams, I use all the dairies, I use all the cheeses, everything. But once we get into the new year, we need to get the better out of our diets, right?
Starting point is 00:16:01 Because it fucks with my stomach and my skin. And you know, I have to look pretty when I'm on after midnight so I can't eat better when I'm making cookies. So today, this morning, I was like, all right, I gotta get out of the Christmas spirit and convert. I gotta get out of the Christmas spirit,
Starting point is 00:16:17 gotta put the butter out, use oil to make cookies. So I was trying to figure out the conversion of butter to oil ratio. Olive oil? What oil are we? I'm not gonna make a petroleum joke like this fucking guy. Don't make jokes. Yeah, I mean, you know, straight away,
Starting point is 00:16:36 men are just gonna make the references that they gotta make so that their audience can understand the references they're making. I love our audience. But I used avocado oil. Okay. Most of it. So then when I was searching this, there was like a breakdown and like it's different kind
Starting point is 00:16:53 of oils or different kind of ratios is what I was learning. And then we found my boo was here too. So he got all up in it and he found out there's a huge debate online about the ratio of conversion from. So just so you guys know, that arguments don't stop no matter what you're doing. People are in the comment section. Yeah. And we were like-
Starting point is 00:17:13 You know, choose to check out from the bullshit this year, and you start cooking, baking cookies, and everyone's like, fuck you! Yeah, exactly. Because everybody's going through something, you know? Everybody's going through something. It's just going to be... Sometimes it's hunger.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Guacamole, guacamole, in honor of avocado. Oh my god. So it was funny to just be like, oh, this should be an easy thing to figure out. No, wrong. Wrong-o. Wrong-o. Not on this internet. Not on these internets.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Not on Beyoncé's internet. Everybody's got something to say. Yeah, by the way, just those oil jokes are important. Most of our audience now works for BP since the tone shift that we did during the fires. We love BP. So you're gonna cut out everything I said? Okay, cool.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Great, great. Okay, cool. I totally understand. You gotta- It's fine. Yeah. Just be flexible. You're paying me in a shell gift card. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:18:11 What is something you think is underrated? That's so funny. America's currency going forward is just gonna be gasoline gift card. I got to vent about my political problems. Got that off the chair. And then I got- yeah, I got. You can't use these in the convenience store either.
Starting point is 00:18:27 It has to be on gas. Only gasoline. Only gas. Only something that contributes to climate change. And then anything that's left over on the gift card goes directly to the CEO. Right to his bank account. It's a 10.
Starting point is 00:18:40 It's $40.15, you can't use it. There it is. It's got the, would you like to round up? Mm-hmm, there it is. It's got the would you like to round up. Mm-hmm, to our CEO. Yeah, to our CEO, but there's only one answer. Oh my God, that is such a funny joke. That's like the CVS donation. You feel like you're down, you are,
Starting point is 00:18:55 when you do those donations at the fucking CVS, that's what you're doing, you're giving them tax breaks. Anyway, it's weird not getting to that. Yeah, there's one that I keep coming across that's like, do you wanna do this? And it says, every time or just this once. Oh, hell no. Fuck you.
Starting point is 00:19:09 What? And there's no end to it. You figured it out. I know. Always. That's how the elderly get fucked over. For the rest of your life? I keep, like I say, I'm definitely getting old
Starting point is 00:19:19 because I keep ordering things to like the wrong place, like from the wrong store. Technology is getting too complicated for me. I thought you were gonna say you were getting too old because you look like shit, because that's what I thought. Wow. And I do look like shit, but that is implied. Jack, please put a filter on.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Please put a filter on. Can we get that filter up to like 30%. And we're gonna take a quick break. We can put on a It's like 38%. Yeah, we're going to be, and we're going to take a quick break. Music can put out a filter. And we're back. And we're back. Just come back with pantyhose over my face. Yeah. Are you robbing this podcast?
Starting point is 00:19:50 Marcella, what is something you think is underrated? Underrated, physical media. We need to bring that shit back. We got these streamers, as we're gonna just hopefully discuss later, these streamers are going south pretty quickly. Yeah. I think it's time, if you guys have like a favorite DVD, I mean a favorite movie, it's time to get it on DVD.
Starting point is 00:20:14 It's time to buy a little DVD player. Start supporting your secondhand thrift stores. Buy some DVDs. Get off of the... You can create, first of all, 2B's free, but you can create your own 2B in your household. So I want wanna encourage everyone to get behind the physical media. Go to a local show, go buy someone's CD,
Starting point is 00:20:33 go buy someone's DVD. Come on, y'all, what are we doing? Go buy some physical streamers. Yeah, go buy some physical shit and support local art. Or like the witch, you know, the movie, The Witches. I don't know if it's on, it's, I haven't been able to find it on streaming. And I was like, I think I'm going to try to look for this on DVD. The old one or the Angelica Houston one. Yeah. Where they turn the kids into mice. It's creepy. Or the mice into kids. I forget exactly.
Starting point is 00:20:59 Is it creepy? Yes. You're thinking of trauma, nightmares. All our memories of The Wishes is just a nightmare. I think that's not how the movie went, but it scared the fuck out of me. But I was like, it's hard to find one on streamer, it's only available sometimes. And I was like, I wanna get, so I've been trying to, without buying it brand new,
Starting point is 00:21:17 but I think that might be impossible at this point. They're turning them out, nonstop. So I- Just them out. Yeah Physical media that's what's underrated to me. It just remade that movie. I think it was Was it somebody just remade that movie and it apparently? Sucked shit. It wasn't good. Yeah, it was with an pathway It wasn't it wasn't bad like it wasn't. My nieces enjoyed it, but it's definitely not the terror that we experienced in the 80s. Yeah. That we were so used to, because there was no regulating back then.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Children's movies and the rating system was so different. Yeah. I know. Never. We'll never experience that. The point of that original witches is like, this is too much. That was the response that you wanted. We gotta regulate these witches. That's how it started in Salem and that's how it started in the DVD, Blu-ray collections.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Marcella, what is something you think is, what? Oh my God. Yeah? What's something you think is overrated? He's relentless. Well, I think... He's prying. I think... I think what... I'm sure you've talked about this with other people, but the
Starting point is 00:22:30 national news? Have you ever talked about that as an overrated? The national news. Like the mainstream media? Yeah. You ever heard of it? Now, we here at this podcast are big fans. We just kind of go to CNN.com, we go to the New York Times,
Starting point is 00:22:46 we tell you what's on the front page and say, how do you do? That's gonna be a day for us. And talk about oils and shell gift cards and- Oh my God, BP is investing in the future. I just want, I love that people do, this podcast is such a great example of supporting like small news sources, but also like guys, local news. Your little
Starting point is 00:23:07 Samsung or Apple T, actually I don't know about Apple, but they have a lot of local news station streaming and I wish more people were more interactive with their local news, just similar to physical media. You know like get your, stop taking your news in large doses from social media and national news, take it in smaller doses. Like first thing in the morning, like when you turn on the news and Mike Kaplan giving you the weather and he's so charming.
Starting point is 00:23:31 And then you fucking get some of those terrible bad news, you know, like the crash. I feel like the local news is also bad. I'm gonna disagree here. It's a different bad though. Yeah, it's a different bad, but it's like got that, here's another, here's just a fucking feed bag of crimes that are gonna make you scared of the people around you.
Starting point is 00:23:51 I feel like. Sure, that's true, but what I'm specifically encouraging is finding the local news station that has a good rapport with each other and really support local shit going on and not just local crime and local bad news. Local papers and shit. Yeah, yeah, shit that's like, that is actually uplifting.
Starting point is 00:24:10 So I agree with you on to a point because some local news is like really just like, nobody likes each other. You can tell they all hate working with each other. It's not fun to watch. There's like one here that I really enjoy watching in Chicago and it's like, they really, they have like Orange Friday during the football season,
Starting point is 00:24:26 you know, when they like show pictures of people in their little orange gear. And it's really cute. And I like it because it's like, it's a cute way to start the day. This morning was the fucking god awful news, but whatever, I was like, oh, I'm not starting my day with this.
Starting point is 00:24:37 I'm gonna, I do national lues a little later in the morning. Like local lues, it's like nice to get the weather without having like, why am I checking my app every morning for the weather? Like, let me have like a sweet pie. Oh man. Give me the weather.
Starting point is 00:24:52 Yeah. It is like, that is one of the nice things about the national news before it was like, you know, bought by fucking Sinclair media. Yeah. One company, but like there is still a feeling when you tune into some of it that you're tuning into just a small business workplace and they have their own weird fun work culture. And some of the people who work there, who you're seeing are the quirky guy. And they just have weird energy.
Starting point is 00:25:21 They do these little poles. They'll do little poles and it's really cute. Then they all have banter with the weather guy and the traffic girl and the person doing this little segment, and they all banter back and forth. I'm just like, I like that they're reminding people that it's okay to have these conversations naturally at work or with whoever. I think because it's Chicago,
Starting point is 00:25:44 because everybody here is so accustomed to supporting local shit, that it really has taken that particular news station, just made it, it's taken it up a notch and made it more fun and sweet to watch. And also the local news, they want their community on there, and they want people to reach out.
Starting point is 00:25:59 And I like that. It's not just about what's going on. I love Orange Fridays. That's so fun. It's cute. That's great. That's cute as hell. I'm into that, yeah. That is cute as hell.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Yeah. All right. Watch your mouth. I'm sorry. And I apologize. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about some news.

If you're looking for coverage of the horrible tragic plane crash and the incompetence on both sides that led to it, we talked about that one trending yesterday and Trump's press conference and just the general feeling.
Starting point is 00:30:03 I don't know. I feel like it's like a race between Trump fucking up so catastrophically that it takes on like an inertia that leads to a real resistance of some sort. And then just Trump grabbing as much power as he possibly can while everybody's just sort of like docile and defeated. Like it's kind of we're in between those two places, but he is fucking up really badly for all the people who are like this, he's coming in with a clear agenda and it's, uh, his clear agenda is a complete disaster. But we talked about that on yesterday's.
Starting point is 00:30:40 You can just go into the feed and look at the last episode. That's where we talked about that. Specifically don't want me talking about it, guys. Marcel has a lot of strange takes about the Blackhawk helicopters. They asked me a couple questions, I answered them and now I'm not allowed to talk about it, so I guess check my Twitter.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Check, please check Marcel's Twitter. Please reference my Twitter, I have a lot to say about it. Re-my thoughts on the For anyone listening that needs jokes explaining to them, that's a joke. There is nothing on my Twitter. I still don't have it back from the Russians. That's what you call a joke.
Starting point is 00:31:18 They took it, and it's theirs. And it's theirs now. And I don't want it back to be completely honest. TikTok has, TikTok China and TikTok China Twitter Russia. Twitter, Twitter, Russia, Twitter, Russia, Twitter, Russia, Twitter, Russia, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Russia, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter,

Yeah. Well we're owned by BP. So that's. We are. And by the way we have a live recording coming up from an oil spill.
Starting point is 00:31:43 We have a recording live from an oil spill. We're recording live from an oil spill. Thank you, BP. Our guest host tomorrow is an oil spill. Is an oil spill. Is a wounded pelican. That's right. But he's like into it. He's like, this is my kink.
Starting point is 00:32:00 I really love this refreshing BP gasoline drink, you guys. Oh, it's fantastic. We're glad you got that. My wings have never been so, there's just the viscosity, you know? There's no friction. It's like wearing a, I don't know, windbreaker. It's very slick.
Starting point is 00:32:18 All right, how's everybody feeling about RFK Jr.? Oh my God, I love him. He's so masculine. So masculine. Such a fucking masculine hottie. So scared of needles. So I just wanted to do a quick rundown of, Representative Jake Auchincloss did kind of a quick rundown of these on Twitter that I thought was useful and informative for anybody forgetting. Because R.F.K.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Jr. is doing his, yesterday had a three-hour confirmation hearing where he was kind of grilled a little bit by Senate and in Congress. It was contentious and people are like, you don't believe in vaccines and you want to be in charge of them, care to comment. He's like, kind of on a, nah, that's not me. I would never say that, baby. What are you talking about? Take me back.
Starting point is 00:33:18 Just making up opinions. I feel like he dreams opinions. Yes. That's how he dreams. He just sees wrong opinions and he wakes up and he's like, Oh, another one. I got a new one. Yeah. Einstein came to me in my sleep.
Starting point is 00:33:37 All right. So just real quick, he believes the cure for measles is chicken soup and vitamin A, but that like, this is a detail that I feel like gets left out. That's number one. That's number one. There's no way his mother was making chicken soup that cured shit. Okay? No.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Definitely not the teenage soul. So he ran what he called a natural experiment in Samoa, which was basically they stopped vaccinating for measles and 5,600 people contracted measles. 83 people died, the majority of them children. And like it's, he has the evidence that he would need to be like, I was so wrong. I should apologize, just like, retire from public life and go around apologizing to people for a living going forward. Because he murdered 83 people. Yeah. He directly led through taking a conspiracy theory, turning it into public policy, being like, this is going to be a good natural experiment.
Starting point is 00:34:42 And then 83 people died, most of them children. And he was like- It's no wonder they're against DEI. It was like, well, these numbers don't exist if we don't include DEI. Mm-hmm, yeah. It was a foreign, they were Samoans running. Yeah, if we just don't include them.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Can we test on white Americans? Yeah, that's right. That's why this is, this is we're testing on white, good blooded, strong blooded, white American children. Yeah, that's right. That's why this is. This is we're testing on white, good blooded, strong blooded, white American children. Yeah. In 2022, his lawyer petitioned the FDA to revoke approval of the polio vaccine, which you might, like you guys have heard
Starting point is 00:35:15 of the polio vaccine, right? I had to do a little research on this. How is that working, by the way? It's... Marco, sorry, go ahead. Marcel had so many funny ones and I wanted to try one. That's good. I wish I wasn't writing while you're-
Starting point is 00:35:28 Marco Polio. Sorry, guys. Okay, Jack, go ahead with your news. So despite the fact that they both claim no vaccine is safe and effective, that was a direct quote. Vaccines have saved the lives of, to answer your question, Blake, because I know it was earnest,
Starting point is 00:35:43 how are those working out? Have saved the lives of 146 million people in the past half century. That's fake news. Where are those numbers from? How do I know those numbers are real? Yeah, that's a really good point. Yeah, I wasn't even listening. Yeah, that's, the numbers don't exist. You don't listen. No. I was reading an article where somebody was trying to make the point about how Nazis are
Starting point is 00:36:07 bad. How do you talk to young people about the fact that Nazis are bad? And they're like, well, they don't really remember World War II. Right. And I think the person was in his 40s or 50s, and he was like, I know people. I had met people who had fought in World War II. So they had like a institutional, like an actual physical memory in their brain. Bias is the other way of putting that.
Starting point is 00:36:34 Bias is a good word. Biased by memories. To, uh. Some of us call those memory trauma. That's right. But it's just such a weird place to be where we're like, how do you convince people who are like, oh yeah, that fact about Hitler being bad seems made up. I feel like, okay, we were watching a movie last night that Michelle Pfeiffer was in with
Starting point is 00:36:58 John Lovitz and Paul Rudd. I was on Tubi, Free on Tubi. Free on Tubi. Good, I can see why. And it was so bad because every scene that Michelle Pfeiffer had with her daughter, it was like 11 year old maybe, there was like something would come up, like the daughter would, she's called something ghetto, this little privileged white girl called something ghetto, and Michelle Pfeiffer's character
Starting point is 00:37:19 tried to like correct her, right? Yeah. And we were like, okay, where's this going? She's trying to correct her, but then because the daughter like blew past the correction, Michelle Pfeiffer just moved on and we were like, okay, that's bad parenting. And then like something else happened in the movie where like the daughter did something
Starting point is 00:37:34 that was maybe needs some course correcting and the mom tried and the daughter pushed back and the mom gave up. And then like it kept happening until it got to like, the daughter wanting to like go out with a little boy. And I was just like, that's when Michelle Pfeiffer's character really was explaining relationships and love
Starting point is 00:37:53 and this and this. Bitch, so you fucking have enough to tell her and teach her how to fucking give it up to a little boy. But when it came to race shit, and there was all these other little topics. And I was like, I feel like everything, she's just a bad mom, and I guess she's trying to come off as a good mom.
Starting point is 00:38:08 And it's what made me be like, oh, people really do not talk to their kids about anything. Right. When the really big comes up, they are fucking lost. They don't know how to talk to anyone about that shit. Because yeah, how do you, at 40 years old or whatever, how do you teach someone that you've never really talked about anything serious with?
Starting point is 00:38:28 Like, oh, were you, have you been in chat rooms? You know, have you been in racial chat rooms showing feet? I didn't know you were gonna do that. You know, like shit like that when you start realizing like, and I don't think that's how a lot of parents and people see themselves. Like, I fucked up. I should have been fixing this shit back in the day
Starting point is 00:38:44 when it was little things. Right. I say that because when my nephew was a little boy, we were, I was like on his ass about the chat rooms. I mean, not the chat rooms, the game, you know, when you play video games and you just have like, you know, you boys, how you just played with strangers. We were. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:58 And then I was always trying to like jump in there to make sure he wasn't talking to anybody that was using crazy language or talking about people crazy or And I feel like people don't they don't make that effort and also they don't know how to fucking implement that effort either Which yeah, that's why when you get into these places were like, oh my god My kid has a fucking has been looking up nasty shit. I had no idea and it's like bitch the signs were there You just didn't fucking pay attention. Yeah. Yeah, I feel like, I don't know. Generally, to talk about white families, the way that conservatives talk about non-white families,
Starting point is 00:39:35 it does feel like there's a lack of communication between the generations and then the fact that a lot lot of times there's just like they don't live together like that, you know After a certain point they like Yeah, you're 18 get out or start paying Exorbitant rent and we're gonna turn your bedroom into like a place for our treadmill, right? That Feels like probably like there's some way that that's harming people culturally. They don't have the memory, you know, like the institutional familial community memory of things.
Starting point is 00:40:16 And yeah, people are just kind of left to the internet to fend. And then yeah, like our older generations are left to fucking Facebook to, you know, educate themselves and it's not going great. It's not going great. It's not going great. It's not going great. And any moron can have a kid too. There's no test you have to pass to have a kid.
Starting point is 00:40:38 So then you're passing down your lack of knowledge. And you know, Michelle Pfeiffer, she knows about dating boys, but not about something less important like race. Exactly, exactly. But dating boys, yeah. What was the point? Was there a point like, and she really came through when it mattered? Like I'm confused.
Starting point is 00:41:00 It was weird because the movie, it was called, I Don't Wanna Be Your Woman, and it was just like an age thing That's probably why I watched it. I was like, oh an older woman is dating a younger guy. All right Let's just watch this dynamic. You don't see this in Hollywood And then no wonder Marcella wants physical DVDs of actually good movie. You've been watching the worst movies I've been watching everything. I've been watching great movies. Okay. I've, hey, I've been watching a lot of cool shit. I hear you, I hear you.
Starting point is 00:41:26 But you love talking shit about the bad shit, come on now. Yeah, it's more fun. But it just is like, you see it in real life. I think that's the thing is that you do see that type of, cause it's also, somebody wrote that. That means somebody wrote that from experience. And it's like- Amy Heckerling. Yeah. Yeah, oh my God.
Starting point is 00:41:41 I could never be your woman. 2007's I Could Never Be Your Woman, a movie I did not know existed. There's so many I could never be your woman. 2007's I could never be your woman. A movie I did not know existed. There's so many movies that get made. That's why I like to because there's a bunch of movies that they flopped and they hid them. Just don't exist. And they're like, we'll take that. We were also pointing out that they're always pushing like 90s movies and like 50s movies,
Starting point is 00:42:03 but it's not as easy to find. Right. When you're browsing the genres. That's something I noticed. So. All right. Back to RFK real quick. Yeah, by all means. Just, I think it's because they're running the, you know, interference on the things he's actually said with this trial and the mainstream media seems to be like fairly willing
Starting point is 00:42:26 to go along with whatever the Trump administration's priorities are at this point. I do also just want to remind people that he claimed COVID-19 was ethnically targeted to attack Caucasians and black people, but that the people who are most immune are Ashkenazi Jews and the Chinese. Seems like a bad. A take no one had by the way. Like I heard that like, oh, like black people can't get it or like, you know, like that,
Starting point is 00:42:51 but like this is a take I have not heard whatsoever. Yeah, he was. Somebody has been on Facebook lately. Click on that Facebook marketplace tab, you find some real good racial information. Okay. He also says he wants to give drug development and infectious disease research a little bit of a break for eight years, which that's the one that apparently like, you know, Trump has already stopped funding cancer research. Everybody in the world of medical and scientific research is like, this administration's already a complete catastrophe.
Starting point is 00:43:26 And it does feel like it kind of connects back with the plane crash because there are just a lot of these systems that are running in the background of our current world, whether it be air traffic controllers or vaccines or fire trucks that if they start to break down or if they, you know, since they have already started to break down, like you won't notice it right away, but things are going to start, you know, cracks are going to start appearing. And I feel like that's kind of what we're starting to see. They're getting exciting. We're about to be a third world country. Exciting.
Starting point is 00:44:09 We're going to go right from first to third. Yeah. Project 2025. Yeah. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. I think we need it. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:44:21 I'm fucking exhausted. Did you hear even the way he said it? Someone needs to do a lap around this. Hey, exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted.
Starting point is 00:44:31 I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted.
Starting point is 00:44:39 I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted.

That's the joke.
Starting point is 00:48:12 That's also, I feel like some of you need to hear me say that. Okay, go ahead. But yeah, their intelligence agencies reportedly paused observances of Pride Month, Black History Month, Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, Holocaust Days of Remembrance, Juneteenth, and other annual cultural events due to Pete Hegseth's war on wokeness. So. That's terrible.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Valentine's Day, they still have off. They still take us for Valentine's Day. How sad, we gotta make more babies. St. Patrick's Day. We gotta make more babies. We gotta get their rape on. Right. Do they think we love their holidays? How sad, we gotta make more babies. St. Patrick's Day. We gotta make more babies. We gotta get their rape on. Right.
Starting point is 00:48:46 Do they think we love their holidays? Do they think we love Thanksgiving and Fourth of July? Do they think that we are getting together at Thanksgiving dinner and like, what are they doing? It's so insane how like, do you guys not want a paid day off? That's what it is. What the fuck are you fucking talking about? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:05 They are only comfortable when celebrating emotionally distant straight white cisgender men. That's what we do in this country. And sometimes they'll allow, you know, Santa Claus is about as emotionally available as they'll allow. Well, that's because that's celebrating capitalism. So they can understand that. Yeah. It's also, I'm very, like, DEI is being conflated with diversity and values that, like, they're
Starting point is 00:49:32 taking this, like, corporatization of the idea of diversity and trying to lump, like, the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., like, under that in a way that's, like, very, very frustrating. And I feel like the mainstream media is just going along with that and being like, yeah, the war, the right is winning the war on DEI, like, and everything goes under that, including people like non-white people and not straight people like that, you know, pride month is like they're, they're lumping that under like DEI, which was like the
Starting point is 00:50:09 corporate world's attempt to be like, and we're listening, you know? Right. It truly doesn't change their lives at all. At all. Yeah. At all. At all.
Starting point is 00:50:20 It's like a pride month. It's so fucking loud. Yeah. It's just so loud all the time. I can't hear myself. It's like, no, there's a- loud. It's just so loud all the time. I can't hear myself think. Pete Haigseph has to cancel his- I can't hear my racist homophobic thoughts when Pride's happening.
Starting point is 00:50:30 My homophobias. So muted during this. Pete Haigseph has to cancel his big plans for Pride Month. Getting drowned out by me thinking about all these men's dicks. Right. Have you guys heard of Netflix? What?
Starting point is 00:50:43 Yeah, so Netflix is that company that used to like email people DVDs. So they're now a streamer and they just held their 2025 programming preview, which- AKA Project 2025. That is weird that they called it that, right? Yeah. They could have called it anything. They could have called it nothing. Right.
Starting point is 00:51:06 Yeah, they could have just kept their prices where they should be and stop giving certain people lots and lots of money. Right. The Hollywood Reporter said that it felt like a defense of like that they were like trying to defend themselves in a weird way and just being like, we're number one, because they just raised prices
Starting point is 00:51:24 and everybody's like kind of annoyed. Oh, I'm canceling my shit. I was like $18 for fucking nothing. Because now they don't have exclusive shit. You see HBO shit on there, everything's on there. We do not need to be on there, guys. Take a break. Give them a little...
Starting point is 00:51:39 Nothing, Marcella? Oh, nothing. Sorry. I think you're going to want to listen to this story. OK. These sorts of events are, in general for me, the thing about streaming is just like there's this fire hose of expendable content, generally.
Starting point is 00:51:58 And then they're like, oh, if you thought that was a lot of stuff, you won't ultimately remember. Check out this. And then just blast you with even more. There is stuff in here that I thought seems interesting. First of all, I did love John Mulaney's Everybody's in LA and they're bringing that back. Seems expensive. Seems expensive, which should be the, it does seem expensive.
Starting point is 00:52:27 What's fun about the show? Yeah? I want something that seems expensive. That should be the name of it. I turn that on, I go look at that stage, look at that set, look at these, yes, that is money. Is that an oak desk? That is some hard wood. Okay, that's a desk alone. God damn.
Starting point is 00:52:41 Money. They announced a Ben Affleck, Matt Damon movie called RIP. Oh, I've been waiting for that. Oh, for them to come back together. Ever since him and JLo broke up, I knew Matt and Big B were gonna get back together. Had to. They always do.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Every time a woman does one of them dirty, they go, you know what? It's about us. I need you. I need you, bro, it's about us. I need you. I need you, bro. They need each other. I need them. Ben Affleck called it, this movie, a mix of heat meets
Starting point is 00:53:12 narc meets training day. And I was like, one of those is not, like, those are two classic movies and then narc, a movie that I didn't even realize was a movie necessarily. I thought, wasn't there like a video game in the 80s called NARC? I didn't know. I don't know, but I just know that a movie
Starting point is 00:53:33 is gonna be bad when the main actor is using the log line as a way to convince you to watch it. And it's like, honey, that's not how you convinced me. That's for the pitch. That's for the deck. That's not how you talk to people. I work out to that log line, actually. I just read it over and over again,
Starting point is 00:53:47 and I do pushups. He's like, NARC, trainin' it. Yeah. Mm-hmm. NARC, by the way, the reason he used NARC is because that is a movie that was directed by the same guy who directed this. So he just tried to throw it in.
Starting point is 00:54:00 What a fuckin' loser. Just a bunch of fuckin' losers. Oh my God. Loser mentality. Will you men get off each other's dicks? Yeah. And just try to challenge each other Throw it in like it was a bunch of fucking losers. Oh my god Yeah, just try to challenge each other to be better for the love of fucking God Yeah, I will say alright So here are the ones that jumped out to me that I'm like I feel like people are going to be talking about tell us why you're gonna keep subscribing to
Starting point is 00:54:20 $18 a month Netflix Jack so I'm here to tell you That's what it sounds like I'm here to tell you, I don't. That's what it sounds like. I'm just saying, I feel like we, these will be coming up in this year on the daily zeitgeist. Like, I feel like they'll cross over. You fucking sell out. Who's sponsored by BP? Sadness is sponsored by BP.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Yes. As... Squid game sponsored by BP, season three. Okay, sorry. As the climate change adventure increasingly gets more exciting in the coming year, thanks to our friends at BP, these are some of the things that you can entertain yourself with inside. So there's a new Knives Out, which I don't know how you guys feel about the first Knives
Starting point is 00:55:01 Out. First one great, second one semi-great. This one can't possibly be great. This one's guns out. They upped the ante. It's guns out. And it's sick. They're bringing a knife to a gun party. The only detail that I have on this one,
Starting point is 00:55:17 because they had a picture of, so Daniel Craig have long hair now. This is what he was jerking off to. You were jerking off, they had one picture and I can picture it. They had one picture and ooh, but it was delicious. That is, you gotta hear, sometimes you hear what he's really saying when you hear what he's saying. You just gotta read between the lines.
Starting point is 00:55:33 Yeah. It's not complicated. How you feel for your wife. There's just no way she's happy. No. You would be correct. Neither is mine. I wanna say that. I wanna chime in. The, uh, neither is mine. I want to say that.
Starting point is 00:55:46 I'm going to chime in. My wife, the unhappy wives club. Yes. That's what this podcast is. That's what it is. God, she's pissed. I thought that's what Tom Segura was doing with his wife. Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:59 That's so the mousy guy from challengers is playing someone named Judd, Judd do Plenty C do Plenty C. Who was playing this? The mousy guy from Challengers is playing someone named Jud Duplentissi. Duplentissi. Who was playing this? The mousy guy from Challengers? Oh, yes, yes. He's like hot mousy guy. The dark haired mousy guy.
Starting point is 00:56:17 Anyways, it's just Duplentissi. I was ready to be out on this and then I was like, Oh, Daniel Craig saying, calling someone Mr. Duplin Tissy is I'm back in. Although he does have shaggy hair, Daniel Craig in this one, which I'm out. Are you going to read that line? I'm waiting for you to read that line. I wonder if he will be Duplin Tissetus. Is that the line that you were waiting for? I wonder if he will be Duplin Ticitis. Perfect. Thank you, Marcella, for encouraging me across the finish line of my own joke.
Starting point is 00:56:51 I was great. Yeah. Thank you. And thank you to BP. Yeah, as well. Full stop. Happy Gilmore 2 is coming. What?
Starting point is 00:57:01 Yeah. I had no idea. It's from Kyle from Workaholics. Of course. Sister podcast. This is important. That's gonna be interesting. I do love a good Sandler and Happy Gilmore, one, a classic.
Starting point is 00:57:16 Then, all right, so this is the one. The two that I think we're really gonna hear about. There's a retrospective, like Eddie Murphy documentary that I feel like could be like a, could be a last dance moment for Eddie Murphy, where people go back and realize, oh shit, he was fucking awesome. Yeah. But if Michael Jordan hated basketball. Exactly. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:42 He could still be doing it if he wanted to. He just doesn't like it. He hates standup. That's what he told me. Well, maybe we'll learn a thing or two about why. I mean, I do think that what he said to, or maybe the conversation him and Jerry Seinfeld had on two, whatever the two cars and cups getting shit
Starting point is 00:58:02 and whatever, you know what I'm talking about. He was like, once you're, I don't know, one of them said it, but they both agreed and I appreciated it where they were both like, once you're rich, you're not funny anymore. And I loved that. So I'm like, I wish Elon Musk could hear that because this motherfucker is striving to be funny.
Starting point is 00:58:18 And it's like, dude, rich people cannot have a sense of humor, it doesn't exist in their brains. He's gonna try to be funny until the world is over. Until he ends it. Until it kills us all. Yeah. Sponsored by BP. And then there's a docu-series about the Titans that those people are trying to go down to
Starting point is 00:58:35 the Titanic and imploding, which... Fucking losers. More losers. Give me some more losers shit. More these things. It's loser after loser. Yeah. Eddie Murphy and the guy who went down to the Titanic and imploded them. I'm going to say it. More these things. This loser after loser. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:45 Eddie Murphy and the guy who went down to the Titanic. I'm gonna say it, not Eddie Murphy. I'm not gonna call Eddie Murphy a loser, but. Anyways, those are the ones that I think are coming for all our asses, coming for the zeitgeist. Oh, and Guillermo del Toro is making a Frankenstein movie. Enough. No more monsters.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Look at my little freaks. That's Guillermo del Toro. Look at all these little freaks I dug up. Look at all these little fucking weird weird weirdos. Tummy I think, I think he keeps them hiding in his tummy. Oh he loves keeping them in his tum tum. Just pulls them out of his belly button. Wait, he dreams one up.

Starting point is 01:03:29 hat painted on it. So you lift it off and his bald head is visible underneath, which I don't, I think I'm going to have to watch this movie to understand like what tone they're trying to strike because it seems so silly. Seems like an inside joke gone wrong. Yes, exactly. Which sounds like when you hear, Jodie Foster, I think, was like, how is she? Jodie Foster, my friend Jodie. Jodie was saying that-
