Presented by Elf Beauty, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. Hello, the internet, and welcome to Season 54, Episode 1 of Two Daily Zeitgeist! For Monday, October 22nd, 2018, my name's Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. In 2018, my name's Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. O'Daily, you got what I'd zee. But you say Jack O'Brien, but you say Jack O'Brien. That's Biz Markie and courtesy of Nathan Hanson. And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. Yeah, one, two, miles near before you.

That's what I said now. Miles, Miles, who adore you? Jack O'Brien, now one has hot takes in his pocket. I fuck with that now. This one said he wants to pay you domino. So go ahead now. Okay, the last part. No, that shit just fell apart. No, no, no. The beginning was ahead now. Okay, the last part. That shit just fell apart. No, no, no.

The beginning was markedly lit. No, that was great. That is from at our boy Travis S. Butcher. Travis, well done. Follow him on IG too.

Yo, he's a very skilled butcher at American Butcher on IG. If you just want to be tantalized by all kinds of meat butchery videos, he's the plug. I was going to, I thought his last name

was Butcher and I was going to say much like your name, you butchered the ending He's the plug. I was going to, I thought his last name was Butcher, and I was going to say, much like your name, you butchered the ending. Oh, wow. But that's not actually accurate, so I apologize. So fade to black. Well done, sir. Anyways, we're thrilled to be joined by the hilarious comedian for the second, third time,

maybe? Second time. Second time. All right. Mr. Eric Lampere. Hello. What's up, man? Do I need to sing a song as well? If time. Alright. Mr. Eric Lampere. Hello. What's up, man? Do I need to sing a song as well?

If you have one. I see an Eric and I want to paint him black. Ooh, yeah. Which is actually probably inappropriate. Yeah, exactly. It would be inappropriate. Yes, yes. I can feel it calling

in Lampere tonight. Tonight. No, that's not it. Something like that, you know. It. No, that's not it. There you go. Something like that, you know. Hold on. Yeah. Hold on. It's good to be back, guys.

Yeah, it's good to have you. Do you remember? Remember that part? Wow. Fucking Genesis, huh? Oh, I thought that was Michael. I can show you. I can show you. Wow.

Miles is. What a voice. Must have had a. Sorry? That solo Phil Collins. Okay, whatever. You know, Nick, super producer stuff, is always coming through with facts

that don't vibe with my ego. Right. Always undercutting you. That's what I call when he corrects me. I say, why are you cutting my ego down? They're like, these are facts. Anyway, I digress. Eric, your last name is spelt Lamp Art.

It's like A-E-R-T at the end. Yeah, A-E-R-T. It's got a sort of Germanic feel. Yeah, but you are one of the only people who gave me a pronunciation guide to your name when we were doing live podcast back at Cracked. You said it's like lamb pear. Yeah, like a lamb and a pear. Yeah, there you go.

But the thing is, that's how I say it. But my mom says Lampart. Yeah, there you go. But the thing is, that's how I say it. But my mom says l'emper. She's Francais. And then in the north, the Belgians will say l'emper. They'll say the T as a T at the end. Yeah, that's a real fuck you, you know. It's very confusing. Come on.

All right, we're going to get to know you even better in a moment. You have a thing against the Flemish. We're going to take our listeners through what we're talking about today. moment. But first, we're going to take our listeners through what we're talking about today. The goal of our show is we're trying to tell you what the nation is thinking and talking about today, taking a dive into America and sometimes the rest of the world's shared unconscious and conscious using the headlines, box office reports, what's trending on Google, social media. Today, we're going to talk about, there's a big breakthrough in the world of booze and cold brew. Just getting hot, mixing uppers and downers. There's a new way to do that, and that is booze infused cold brews. We're also going to talk about

Netflix's new policy of actually canceling shows. We're going to talk about the shouting match that was heard around the world. Uh, John Kelly and, uh, the Johns, Kelly and Bolton got into a shouting match at the White House, like a couple of desperate housewives who can't be trusted to behave in public. We're going to talk about what that was over. The GOP is about to snap off the racism knob, as Miles put it. They're cranking up the racism. They're running out of levels. They're going to have to create new forms of racism.

Yes, we actually did know it went to 11, but this is going beyond that. We're going to talk about the Trump organization's history as a business and just some suspicious details. We're going to talk about the president's stance towards journalists and also the Little Whisper campaign. It's a nice, friendly sounding way to explain that the Republicans in Washington are doing a little smearing of Khashoggi to sort of defend Trump's stance towards Saudi Arabia, even though he has come out and said, yeah, I think it was them. He's still not going to do shit about it. And so the Republicans have decided that they're going to make it look like Khashoggi is a terrorist. Surprise, surprise. I did not see them going in that direction.

Rihanna said no to the NFL, to the Super Bowl halftime show. We're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about what's making miles. Give a fuck about global warming. And we're going to do a quick check-in with the Boyd Watch. But first, Eric, we'd like to

ask our guest, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Oh, well, porn, I guess. Okay. And what is something you think is overrated? I like that you just searched. What's your search? Porn.

On Google? That's the search. Google porn. No, I'll tell you what, a comedian's search history is very, very strange. Oh, yeah. That's why we asked. That is very, very interesting. Yeah. There's a's why we ask. That is very, very... There's always interesting things. Yeah.

There's a lot of random crap in there. Give me one random crap. Well, at the moment, I'm sort of researching a lot about reality and trying to learn what is reality. Oh, okay. And is Google helpful for that? No. Google makes it even more confusing.

Right. Because Google is... Have you noticed that Google is now finishing your emails? Yes. And that's interesting because at some point, Google's going to know exactly what you want to send and you'll never have to just log in. Google will just send emails for you.

I know your vibe now. This is how you would respond to an email inviting you to a dinner or some shit. Yeah, I just always pick the second option, just roll the dice with whatever that says. You just hit tab constantly. Yeah, just tab. And the second option. Just roll the dice with whatever that says. You just hit tab constantly. Yeah, just tab. Yep. And now I know.

And we're good. And have you also noticed the rise in incest porn? Yes. I don't know what that is about. No, you're just being serious, right? Yeah, I'm talking serious. Because I'm dead serious about this too. You know what they do now is because straight up incest headlines are like,

obviously this is going to weird people out. It's always like stepbrother, stepsister, stepmom. It's only highly disgusting and not illegal. But yeah, that's like, I don't know why that's a wave right now. I don't get it. I'll watch them.

But you recontextualize it. Because if you don't know that actually, it's only the headline that would suggest that it's like that. Well, the first five minutes. Yeah, I make sure that they are indeed related before I judge the video. They're holding IDs next to each other on camera. It's interesting.

There was a trend I noticed when I was looking at old commercials from the 70s that, I guess, male sexuality during that period was really focused on really young women, super young women like 11 and 12 year olds. There was this ad for this perfume that was called Baby Soft and it had a woman who was probably in her 20s but she was dressed as a baby

and the title... Like a bonnet and shit? Yeah, a bonnet and she was licking a lollipop and the tagline was nothing bonnet and shit? Yeah, a bonnet, and she was licking a lollipop, and the tagline was, Nothing Sexier Than a Baby. Oh, my God. And then that was when the Brooke Shields thing happened with Calvin Klein jeans, where Brooke Shields was like 14.

Yeah. So I just wonder if there are weird trends happening below the surface of our, if we just really focused on you porn search trends and because they report stuff but the stuff they report is generally not that interesting well sometimes they do like an overall like sort of metrics of what people are into but yeah like what's the dark shit i want to know the dark shit that people are into because apparently uh we're we're making a run at the incest taboo right now. That's what's going on below the surface.

But it is funny, though, because all that would suggest that it's incest or some kind of familial relationship is the beginning. They'll be like, hey, you didn't clean your room. I'm sorry. And then it's like a sex scene. And there's nothing in between. It's like, oh, I'm your stepdad or whatever. That is how my mom got to make me clean my room. She was like, clean your room, Erica.

I don't want to. And she was like, well, look at my breasts. She was French. So it's very free over there. Very free. To be expected. It's not as puritanical as it is. Right, right.

And also, I guess, one other way to look at that is that it's been an obsession of humanity since the ancient Greeks and the edible complex. So maybe it's not a super recent trend. Who knows? What is something you think is overrated? I just thought of a stupid edibles brand. It's the edibles complex. Yeah, I had that as well. I was like, is he talking about weed?

It'll make you fuck your mom and rip your eyes out. Isn't that what he did? Didn't he rip his own eyes out? Yeah, he ripped, I think one of them, maybe both. No, he stabbed them. He stabbed both of them.

Stabbed both? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, old Rex, he definitely fucked his eyes up after that. Anyway, sorry. The reason he's called Oedipus Rex

is actually he had very stunted arms. Oh, that's why he needed a knife because his hand wouldn't reach his own eyes so he needed a tool. That's such a nice joke. Welcome to our second-rate podcast.

What is something you think is overrated? Oh, sneakers. I mean, since living in LA, I see lines and lines of people just outside sneaker stores, what I call trainers. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just shoes, guys. Chin up. I don't get that. It's just shoes, guys. Yeah. Chill out. Yeah.

I don't get that. It's a few things. There was a recent study by some kind of psychological journal that was saying that materialism is exponentially rising with younger people right now. Oh, it's in. Yeah. Materialism is in right now. Well, it's so weird because I noticed on Instagram, you see 14-year-old kids wearing basically the equivalent of $1,400 outfits of expensive streetwear brands.

Right. And they have a Louis Vuitton Supreme leather jacket on their first day of sophomore year of high school. And you're like, okay. Well, anyway, that's clearly your family. Is it because we now live in a reality where we actually live online, right? No. And so it's like Sims. You've got like these characters they're the characters online and they've got like these beautiful

sneakers and right t-shirts and like oh look how many likes i can get yeah it's your avatar but i think also i mean i've been a huge sneaker head since i since i could ever afford to buy my own shoes and the game has changed you know like it used to be just for the people who really liked the sneakers and they would wear them and that was all good and then the as they gained value the reseller market came up and that caused a lot of people now to just buy things simply to just make a profit off of buying these things and then profiting off these other people who are then the second market was like the materialistic people with disposable income who are there for the instagram flex yeah it's all the game's all fucked up right now. Yeah. I think it's like Instagram and the fact that,

I don't know, that corporate America figured something out because during the 90s, there was such a thing as selling out and then that just went away. Corporate America figured out like, oh, we need to do this to infiltrate their psyches and now kids are like selling out.

Yeah, I wish. Yeah. I'd love to fucking sell out. I wish they would buy me. Yeah. I just don't get it. If you enjoy a pair of sneakers, I won't judge you for that.

Yeah, yeah. But for me, the idea of meeting someone and then looking at, because I look at people in the eyes and then the idea of looking them down

and going, ooh, shit. Ooh, you got bows? What are those? We can't talk. Yeah, oh, shit. Oh, you got bows? What are those? We can't talk. Yeah, right? Damn, where'd you get those? Yeah.

I mean, I have never waited in line, mostly just off the principle of it. I just don't feel like that's something you wait in line, like camp out for. A snake. Yeah. Yeah. Just fucking, if you can't get them, then whatever. Or do, you know, people use bots. Like, that's another thing people use is, like, they buy, they're, like, algorithmic

programs that will, like, instantly buy something, like, force buy a product for you online because everyone's trying to buy something. But if you have bots, you have an advantage. The game is fucked up, like I said. Yeah. I'm not above it. And also, I've been judging kids by their sneakers since I was 10. Yeah.

At basketball camp. Oh, hell yeah. I remember that. At basketball camp especially because there wasn't cool gear that you could have other than your shoes. Right, right, right. So the shoes were the thing. Oh, he got those CB34 Charles Barkley Air Maxes.

Right. Yeah, I remember catching myself as a kid being like, wait, you're being wildly superficial. Oh, yeah. I remember that too. Oh, you're whack. Look at your shit shoes. Actually, that makes sense now. In America, you don't have school uniforms, do you?

Right. Well, it depends. If you go to public school. But not as many. I went to uniform school. Oh, okay, right. So sneakers were like my one way to differentiate. Right, that makes sense.

Because, yeah, in the UK, regardless of whether it's public or private, we all have school uniforms. So you're not allowed to have trainers or sneakers. Oh, even down to the shoes, probably, right? Or there's a very strict rule that they have to be sort of dress shoes or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I didn't think about it, actually. It is like a sort of status symbol in school. Oh, yeah.

And that's why a lot of public schools began to do uniforms, too, because free dress is too much of a distraction for distraction for some kids it's a distraction but also it's like you know it makes you feel shit if you'll pull yeah no 100 yeah yeah especially when kids pull up in 1400 outfits and you know you're just rocking some regular if you're doing just the like broad outline school uniform where it's like okay you have to have a white shirt and black khakis or something. Like that can, yeah, you know. The blackies. Well-known blackies. Uh-oh. Isolate that sound bite.

Yes. I feel like that can get you in trouble. My cousin went to this all-girls school in Los Angeles and it was like a school uniform, but because there were like, you could sort of color inside the lines and a little bit outside the lines like then it was like there were three pieces of clothing that you like had to get that everybody had and then like it was like the dope like white shirt or whatever

right like the fit of it was different yeah like yeah and like the designer like it just like lessens the number of things that you can do. And so the focus becomes even more intense on like what, what, who the designer is or what the tag says or whatever. We always had to go to like a uniform shop that was like out in some industrial park. Right.

And it was called like Sue Mills or Dennis uniform company. Right. And like, you'd be there and like, it was a racket too. Yeah. Where like the schools are making money. They were making money.

I'm like, whatever. Yeah. You got to make making money, they were making money. I'm like, whatever. Yeah, you got to make your uniform impossible to make look cool. The only way we could flex is change the color of your undershirt of your polo. Oh, nice. And then they catch on. They're like, you can only be black or white because I wear orange. You could flex with a beautiful lexicon.

Yeah. Right. There you go. It doesn't have to be on the outside. You would be the coolest teacher. Let me tell you about another type of flex, my young student.

I'd be a great teacher, but I was an awful student in terms of like, gentlemen, why not use our lexicons? Get him! Yeah. What is something you think

is underrated besides lexicons? I don't know. Toilets. Okay. You know, if you think about it, we all need to shit sometimes. Sometimesilets. If you think about it, we all

need to shit sometimes. Sometimes. We all need to pee. And we just use this toilet for getting the rich history of toilets. If you think about it, right? Not that long ago, we were shitting in buckets and throwing it in the street. Chamber pot.

And so there's something quite nice about just looking at a toilet and going, thanks. Thanks for taking all of this stuff away. Then I can press a button and last night's Indian food vanishes. Thank your toilet today, Zyking. Yeah. Embrace your toilet. Yeah.

There used to be so many shit-based professions. Like that was a large part of the economy back in like middle ages was just like you know there was the chamber maid was dealing with the chamber pot and emptying people's shit so in a way it was a jobs killer right that's how i look at it so yeah the toilet jobs killer think about all the jobs that's true yeah apologies yeah apologies for taking those jobs away finally what is a myth what's something people think is true you know to be false? Okay, so let's talk about reality again. People are adamant that we do live in the real reality.

Okay. But if statistically speaking, there's going to be more and more virtual realities created in the future, which means that there is going to be an infinite amount of realities created. So mathematically, the odds that we're in this real reality, the one real reality, is statistically impossible. What? So, you know, we live in this lovely reality of ours.

I don't think this is reality. You don't think so? So we're already on the wrong page. No, we're on the right page. Yeah, yeah. Okay. But statistically speaking, there's going to be so many realities that are going to be created in the future. Right? An almost infinite amount of realities that will be created.

How are you defining reality? If you think about video games up to this point, they've gotten better and better and more and more realistic. If you assume that those simulations are going to keep getting better and better and more and more realistic, which why wouldn't it with technology? Oh, that at a certain point we can go on to another level. Yeah, it'll be impossible to differentiate. At some point you'll be able to create the game Sims.

You'll be able to create these characters who believe that they are real, who have self-awareness and stuff just like we currently have. You know, it's interesting. Yeah. And you might be a character of somebody else. You might be a brain in a vat somewhere.

It's impossible to know. This is what, when people say that Elon Musk thinks that we all live in the Matrix, this is the argument that got him there. Well, I mean, yeah. All we're doing is just sort of interpreting different electrical impulses and stimuli

to create even what we see now. And not everyone is even seeing that at the same time. Everything around us is sort of made of this electricity, which is like just a machine. It's just, basically, either way, it doesn't actually matter. Because whether we're in a simulation or not, you know, we're still doing the daily zeitgeist. We're still going to use the toilet. We're still going to get the sneakers.

And what's sad, even in my simulation, this is still a second-rate podcast. Right. Exactly. I can't even in my simulation, this is still a second-rate podcast. Right, exactly. I can't even give myself the next level. I will program it such that I host a second-rate podcast. Oh, even in your greatest dream. That is a question that I have about people who think they live in the Matrix. It tends to be people like Elon Musk. I just heard Matt Damon interviewed on the Bill Simmons podcast,

and he was like, yeah, once Good Will Hunting hit, and that's when I really started feeling like I lived in the Matrix. Things got so good that it's almost mathematically like, why would I be the one who has the best life in the world? Weird survivor's guilt or something? Yeah, basically weird survivor's guilt or something? Yeah, basically weird survivor's guilt. Tarantino's talked about the fact that once you succeed, you immediately have this counterfeit complex where you just think you're a fraud. What about unsuccessful people with imposter syndrome? That's what I'm thinking. The struggling imposters. Right. Well, I'm thinking that the people who I hear arguing for the Matrix thing are always successful people like your Eric Lampers. Yeah, right.

What was the movie? Elon Musk's. You were recently in? Recently in? Oh, Valerian? Yeah. Valerian. Yeah, that one, I guess.

It comes with being a movie star that you think you're in the Matrix. I guess what I think it comes down to is time. I am very thankful and privileged, I guess, for this job because it means I have time to really read all the books on it. Right. To really get it. Right. Because, like, to think about genuinely thinking that you live in a different reality and actually understanding it. Not just going, oh, yeah, it's possible.

I can see that, right. But genuinely, like, that took me, like, good three big sort of best-time sellers, you know, books kind of thing on the subject. Do you read a lot of Alan Watts? No. That's another thinker who, more like on the spiritual side of things,

sort of talks about, like, how could we know what we're experiencing? Right, and then if you think about, like, DM dmt and stuff like that it takes you on these different realities like the reality might not necessarily be the matrix where you live in a computer it could very well be the fact that we are just homo sapiens trying to make sense of this reality what cats see what fucking flies see what they're it's all different things they see different waves of light and yeah and stuff like we're just seeing what homo sapiens can see yeah right and so once we get to this next level of um eva homo deus you know because uh we were talking about me pretending to be paleoanthropologists

yeah at weddings at weddings and stuff right we were yeah exchanging wedding tactics you know like i'm we're all homo sapiens and then before that it was like herdebegensis and erectus and habilis and you can go all the way back right but homo sapiens hasn and before that, it was like Herdobagensis and Erectus and Habilis, and then you can go all the way back, right? But homo sapiens hasn't finished. It's not like we're, oh, we're done, guys. We smashed evolution. Yeah, we got at least 12 years left. With technology, now we're able to upgrade ourselves, which is super interesting.

And once we can upgrade ourselves, maybe we'll start seeing more things. Start seeing sense more things. Like the matrix. You'll just start seeing the shit scroll down. There are definitely animals that can see colors that we can't even conceive of. Our brain does not have those colors as possibilities. Thanks a lot, Dad.

You shitty eyes. There's more colors I can't see. All right, we're going to take a quick break, let you guys think about that, and we'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves.

The biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels stay the Boone County rebels with the image of... It's right here in black and white in the prints. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about

the mascot switch is a leader. You choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies. When civil rights said that we need to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies.

and I would fucking drink the shit out of this, so adjust your marketing plan. Okay, my bad. Well, look, you know, I like cold brew, and I like alcohol. And why not combine the two so I'm completely in a weird place? Surely that's not new.

Adding alcohol to coffee has been around fucking ages. Right. Why is everyone just losing their bloody minds? I think because it's canned and now if you're just- Mate! Booze in cans? I'm from the UK! Like what are you talking about? People have been Irish-ing up their morning coffee for years. My great grandma- Yeah, that's the adjective is Irish coffee. She's 100 years old, still alive.

And every day she has a coffee with a bit of booze in it. In the morning? I don't know. I think she wakes up at like 6 p.m. now. She's losing it. She's struggling now. Yeah, my grandmother who lived to be 101, she had beer every day. She drank beer every day.

Yeah. And like loved it. And if she didn't have it, like she will always tell my uncle when she lives, like, yo, where's my beer? I need my fucking beer. In a can?

Yeah. Because in Japan, they have like little tiny half cans. So she would drink these little cute little Sapporo beers and get like shithoused off a window. Beer will drink. Beer will drink, yes.

Beer is nice. But anyway, so I mean, this is interesting. What they're trying to do is create a drink that is high-minded enough that even if you had the most discerning palate for coffee, you'd be like, wait, this is actually pretty good. But each can, they're saying about 12.5 ABV for this cocktail.

So that's a highly, highly alcoholic beer. Nice. Yeah. And it's about an average wine. Yeah. And they say, look, they have espresso shot flavor, mocha, salted caramel. It's called Cafe Agave.

A premium dark blend, a roast, a premium blend of dark, I said premium blend, shout out to my grandma, of dark roast Arabica coffee, cold brewed to extract the highest amounts of natural caffeine with real cream. Agave, that has nothing to do with tequila.

I'm thinking of a different- No, but there is agave in some tequilas, isn't there? Okay. Yeah, I think you need blue agave to make tequila. Yeah. I just wish that, for their sake, I wish they hadn't put agave in the thing, because now I'm thinking of coffee with tequila in it. Well, it's fermented agave.

Maybe that's how they get the little sweetness in there too. Anyway. I'll tell you what. Have you ever heard of that coffee that's quite expensive because a goat eats it and shits the bean out and then you make that bean into a coffee? Yeah. Wait, there's the monkey shit one too, right? Oh, mate, I want to drink some of that shit coffee. That's like, yeah, the shit coffee is the most expensive coffee.

I want some of that. Yeah. Yeah. It is. If you're the bat shit or goat shit or monkey shit coffee plug, please at us on Twitter. If anybody's ever had it, whether you thought it was worth it or not, we want to hear about it. You know what?

I think there is. There was someone who was hitting me up on Twitter who their account looked like they were just a wild barista or something. I feel like this person, I know you're listening, let me know about this cup of coffee. Maybe bring one through for me. Right. Because I would love to taste it. And the idea is that the bean has been through the digestive tract of this animal and-

Picking up all kinds of other dimensions. It picks up all sorts of different things that allow you to see the matrix. Yeah. Allow you to see the next dimension. I love the person who really went, was like, you know what? I'm going to try and drink this, though. Yeah. But that's how everything starts, isn't it?

Yeah, exactly. If you think about cuisine, this is one thing I love. We can all enjoy flavors and nice meals. But not that long ago, people were going, let's try that flour with that meat. And then they just die. Well, let let's try that flour with that meat. And then they just die. Well, let's not do that flour with that meat anymore. But now let's try that flour with that vegetable and that meat with something else. Just to see which one it was.

You eat it, you still die. And they're like, all right, we got to figure out which one. Is it the meat or the flour? Oh, boy. All right, guys, let's talk about Netflix. Because they have started canceling shows. I guess the fact that there are other places that are making content to be binged, such as Disney and Amazon and Apple and Hulu are dumping like billions into their platforms. They're now having to get a little bit more serious

about when a show's time is up. Austerity did not seem like a thing that Netflix was into at all. But it seems, yeah, like, so they announced that Orange is the New Black's seventh season will be its last. And then we all know House of Cards is done. But I think that's more for other reasons

aside from just, like, I think it's ran its course. They canceled Iron Fist. They canceled Michelle Wolf's show, like, after a's ran its course. They canceled Iron Fist. They canceled Michelle Wolf's show like after a very brief day. Understandably canceled Iron Fist. Yeah, I couldn't get – I saw like two episodes like what is this? Stop whining. Like annoy me so much. He's got like a really strong fist.

Yeah. That's the whole point. Right. He's like I don't want to use my power for any – not very good American accent. Yeah. I don't want to use my power use your fist mate yeah use your fist for crime fine yeah smash the shit out of everything and also it's set in a reality where fucking aliens isn't happening because marvel it's a marvel

universe right they know about the avengers and he's going i don't want to use there's a there's thanos why couldn't thanos just click this finger And that fucking little shit died Oh my god Iron Fist I did not like him Yeah I don't know if you could tell It was one of those things too When they renewed it

For a second season That's when I was like Is Netflix Off their shit I was very angry And that's when You know Everyone was like

I guess Netflix Just doesn't cancel anything Because they have Such deep pockets You know like Their budget for programming Is like 8 billion this year

next year and I believe 4 billion of that is for prison documentaries how many how many locked up people do we need to talk to now shout out to

I know one of the people who makes a lot of those locked up shows and they're laughing their ass off mate like to be a criminal now pays

right you need an agent a crime pays and then as soon as you get locked up, just do a little documentary. Right. That's like your agent goes, you know, Eric, have you tried going the jailhouse reality route?

Now, we'll do some light crime, nothing felonious, and then you'll play the sort of like puckish character within the jail reality show to get the likes. Oh, and just so you know, you said felonious, so if you had shit sneakers, I would have respected you. Oh, yeah. That was a very nice word. Thank you so much.

You're a lexicon. So there was a shouting match. The shouting match heard around the world at the end of last week. The Johns, Kelly, and Bolton were yelling at each other in the White House. And we now know that the shouting match was over immigration. Bolton apparently sided with Trump, who is just out of his mind, angry at Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen for failing to stop that caravan. Basically, he's just hopped up on Fox News.

And John Kelly is like, God, shut the fuck up. Yeah. I think John Kelly was also hot because he worked with Kirsten Nielsen when he was at DHS. So then that doubly offended him. And then I guess when Trump sided with John Bolton about this, it just turned into a full-on shouting match. As if this shit

weren't cruel enough. What I don't know is, what were the two sides? Cruel and cruelest? What the point? I think we can be even harsher to these people who are trying to escape their impoverished lives or whatever the situation is. Yeah.

I think just as Trump's primary handler, Kelly is like, we try to deescalate, motherfucker. Like settle down. And then you have that old war mongering Muppet face of John Bolton who's like, we'll see. We'll see what happens. I mean, of John Bolton who's like, we'll see. We'll see what happens.

I mean, I know like initially people were like, oh, someone's going to have to resign after this. And it's like, come on. The shit that's going down in that administration. Yeah. But he's just getting angrier and angrier as this caravan gets closer and closer to the southern border and Fox News makes a bigger and bigger deal of it. He's now threatening to close the U.S.'s southern border with the U.S. military.

So presumably Bolton and probably Stephen Miller are just in his ear, just going full Yago. They're literally licking his ears from both sides at the same time. That's disgusting. I'm sorry. Sorry to put that in everyone's minds, but picture that for a second. On the midterm front, they are apparently just going full racism. They're not happy about the way things are going. So Drudge had a report saying that the ah, the blue wave isn't coming,

and the latest polling shows that the Democrats aren't even going to win the House. What poll was that? It was Reuters, or Reuters was reporting on some polling, whereas FiveThirtyEight is reporting that this is as high as the Democrats' chances have been to this point of taking back the House. So it's very confusing, different sides saying different things. But the Republicans are at least scared enough to go to their completely not secret, secret weapon of just going full racist. Yeah. So, oh my goodness.

So this robocall ad played in Arkansas's second district, where the incumbent French Hill, I think the last poll, he was up by at least eight or 10 points or something. This ad ran and I'm sure people have heard it because it blew up because this for how intensely offensive this thing is. But just please take a listen to this robocall people were getting mostly in black areas. So this was aimed at black voters in Arkansas. What do you think about what's happening in Washington? Our congressman, French Hill, and the Republicans know that it's dangerous to change the presumption of innocence to a presum justice of the Supreme Court with no evidence, no corroboration,

and all of her witnesses, including her best friend, say it didn't happen, what will happen to our husbands, our fathers, or our sons when a white girl lies on them? Girl, white Democrats will be lynching black folk again. Honey, I've always told my son, don't be messing around with that. If you get caught, she will cry rape. I'm voting to keep Congressman French Hill and the Republicans because we have to protect our men and boys. We can't afford to let white Democrats take us back to bad old days

of race verdicts, life sentences, and lynchings when a white girl screams rape. Paid for by black Americans for the president's agenda. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee. Oh my fucking god. This is what I mean by we all live in different realities. Because if you believe shit like this,

if you genuinely believe it, not like I believe it because it helps my agenda. If people believe that shit, they live in a different fucking world yeah right i mean that isn't ah mate this is why i sort of kept quiet while you two were talking about politics because i've stopped fucking listening to these can i say the c word yeah cunts yeah like because whatever public party you know there's pros and cons to maybe some things right but if you listen to one party, one party goes, can we lock up some children, please?

And the other one's like, can we give health care to everybody? Example. I mean, what is happening? Not just in America, but literally all over the world. Countries are going, can we kill those people? Mate, the rich are running it and the poor are going, oh, mate, the rich, they want to look after the rich. We're totally voting for them.

What the fuck are you doing? What are you doing? Yeah, different realities. And then you can't get annoyed because you're an elite. You live in Hollywood. I live in a fucking basement with three other people. Fuck you. And one day I will become an elite, hopefully.

But that's because i worked my bloody ass off yeah like oh no i mean people this is exactly what you're talking i mean because it's first of all i don't even know where to begin how to talk about this thing it's so the idea that they are using they're trying to create a frenzy among black voters that public lynch mobs are going to return because you will vote for a democrat because they believed christine blasey ford's accusations against brett kavanaugh right the leaps you have to make to even get to this reality are wild and that's why i think i don't know who that ad was for because it was clearly made by a bunch of out of touch uh wealthy white

people yes who just think that they understand how people of color and black voters think in this country. It's like, oh, scare them with lynchings. Right. That was really scary for them. That's the stuff they remember about black people. Their last interaction with black people was lynchings. So they're like, oh, okay.

But also, isn't the current trend kind of terrifying? Like, you know, I don't know that much about US history. I don't think it will go back to lynching, right? But didn't he just approve journalists getting killed? Didn't Trump just approve it? I mean, essentially, yeah. Doesn't he just put kids in fucking cages? I mean, surely, I mean, it's getting there,

where, like, every time he does a little thing, like, he puts kids in fucking cages, and everyone's fucking cool with that right at some point he's gonna keep trying a little bit let's just try a little something else at some point could it lead to that i mean i don't know i mean we're already i mean when you think about how many uh unarmed um men and young boys of color are killed by police right we're kind of already having another version of you know people being killed by the state or by people with different views on black people. This is why I'm not a political comedian.

Because I don't find humor in what the fuck is happening. No, it's very dark. Yeah, I mean, I think there's one version where you can just be, you can try and laugh because you are so saddened by what's going on. And I think that's the only way you can motivate yourself to be a political comedian right now. what are you going to do just be really straight up and be like this is a slow boil into just abject chaos oh and some comedians are so good i mean like you know john oliver jim jeffries all these people are really handling it amazingly but even your

even our reactions to that material is like you know like you get a laugh and then you really realize like what the subject matter is. And then it's so disheartening. But anyway, the PAC that the PAC that put this together, as you heard at the end, were black Americans for the president's agenda. And, you know, when you do a little digging because their financial disclosures are out there on the Internet, you realize that it's fronted by this problematic black dude who says all kinds of wild shit. But when you go down to donors, it's like a lot of very interesting donors. One of their more standout donors is Charles Johnson, who is a GOP fucking super donor, but also the principal owner of the San Francisco Giants. So I'm curious, Giants fans, please talk to your man. Tell him to, you know, whatever. He. Giants fans, please talk to your man.

Tell him to, you know, whatever. He wants to put his money wherever the fuck he's going to do it. But, like, this kind of shit is just so misleading, so offensive, so – I'm at a loss. And also what I really enjoy about this administration at the moment is, like, every time you see, like, woman for Trump and it's just a white dude standing in front of the camera. It's always white men. And then it's, like, black people for Trump and it's just another white dude standing in front of the camera. It's always white men. And then it's like, black people for Trump and it's just another white dude. Yeah, just same white guy. I believe that black people want what they want.

Yeah, exactly. Doing what's in their best interest. I mean, and also just the way the caricatures they were presenting of these two women talking and just like, what the fuck? That's why I tell my son, don't get involved. Anyway, so yeah, I mean, I don't know if they thought that would make more black voters in that area be like, oh, yeah, okay.

I'll vote for French Hill because I believe that. I don't know who. I think that was for the people living in the reality bubble of those wealthy white donors who were behind that pack. donors who are behind that pack. In two weeks, a fellow sister podcast, Behind the Bastards, is going to be releasing an episode that's all about the midterms, the bastards behind the midterms, and it has all sorts of stuff about robocalls and the evil that they're in. So be sure to check that out. It's a horrible movie, Robocalls. Robocalls. So let's talk about Trump's relationship with journalists, because as we've talked about earlier last week, the journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by the Saudi, basically by Mohammed bin Salman and his handlers, like there's footage of his main dude walking in the day of the murder. And Trump has used this opportunity to, and Trump late last week admitted that, yeah, the Saudi probably goes pretty high up in Saudi Arabia and they're probably responsible and he was murdered, but he's not laying off. First of all, he's not,

you know, committing to any actual reaction or any, uh, consequences, but he's also just not stopped talking shit about journalists. Yeah. In general. I mean,

yeah, he had a rally in Montana last week and some people might not remember this but in the build-up to the 2016 election there's this guy greg jan forte from out there he body slammed a guardian reporter who was just asking him a question and because he's so aggro and unfit for office he wwe'd this dude and he still won because that's just the reality some people live in where that is cool uh but then at this rally trump was just sort of like yeah he's my kind of guy or like anyone who can do a body slam somebody he's my kind of guy and just sort of you know letting people know he co-signs

these kinds of violent attacks on journalists and yeah when you couple that with just sort of his total inaction with the hashogi thing it's just like okay so we're seeing now that he's slowly letting us embrace a world where we're like really just just gonna i don't know if this turns into like the rationalization for people be like well i think that journalists deserve to be attacked right you know like that's where we're slowly going to go well yeah they're very slowly but they are actually in the process of moving in that direction. So while Trump is not saying anything about Khashoggi deserving it, and by the way, we talked in an earlier episode about how the thing that got Khashoggi, like the order of silence from Mohammed bin Salman,

was him talking shit about the Trump administration. So Trump is basically directly implicated in this dude's death. Trump is not saying anything out loud, but hardline Republicans and conservative commentators are issuing basically a whisper campaign that's designed to, you know, protect President Trump from people saying that he should be more hardline on saudi arabia and you know to make hesho g look bad like a villain yeah well that's the standard shit just like when their

unarmed young black men killed oh that was a man in a young man's body or this dude is a thug or he had a fucking he was in a photo with a gun once. Right. Or Botham Jean had weed in his fucking house when the police officer came into his fucking house and shot him dead. Like, this is just the same shit. Just smear the victim. Try and eliminate any empathy going in that direction. Yeah.

And be like, yeah, so once we just smear the shit out of this dude, then it'll be easier for people to swallow the fact that you just did fuck all and we continue this relationship. You know, what's funny too when all the republicans shout about fucking sharia law and all this stuff and he's like fully embracing the same you know i i don't know i i just can't wrap my head around all this shit right now and it's starting to become a little overwhelming yeah uh but well you know when you're when you're selling stuff and you're getting commission right that's basically what trump's doing he's how many

how many billions of dollars of weapons has he sold to saudi arabia well right now the big deal he wants is like 110 right now and i think with another like two or three hundred billion coming down the pipeline over like 10 years right so when you've got a client who's gonna get you big commission yeah oh can i can i kiss your penis please that's essentially what he's doing. Yeah. Well, he loves money. And that's his God. God is his money.

So as long as we're talking dollars, it makes sense. You know what's really shitty is we all know that Trump must be so sad. Right? Right. What kind of life does he, like, we all know that at some point, you know, money's useful. You know, you got to pay some bills and stuff like that. But most people I know, once you've got maximum 100 grand in the bank, you kind of don't need any more.

And that's a lot of money, 100 grand. That's a lot of money. And this guy's just like, I need some more money. More money. It's like an addiction. He's going to die just surrounded by gold. Because I know in his fantasy world, he pulls up to the Academy Awards and was like, Donald Trump. And Jay-Z comes up to him and is like, you're the man.

And Beyonce is like, yeah. No, but he so deeply wants the attention or the approval of traditional celebrities. Like all the ones, like the De Niros of the world, like this guy's a fucking asshole or whatever. If he had that, he would be like i'm on cloud nine but i think that's what's killing him inside slowly too is like because you can tell the the shit that he he wants to be part of the crowd that he isn't part of that's why he talks so ill of his own supporters sometimes and like secretly he's like other slobs yeah it's like oh this place sucks the same time, I think if he got any of the things he thinks he wants, he'd still be miserable.

Yeah, he'd never be happy. Yeah, he's just got the world's biggest black hole in the middle of his soul. What if you got all new hair, though? What if he said, I can get your hairline back to when you were nine years old? Yeah, then I think he'd finally be happy. Strong hug. Yeah. Just come here, mate.

Come here. It's okay. You fucked up quite a lot. Right. Just come here, mate. Yeah. Come here. It's okay. Yeah. You fucked up quite a lot. Right. Let's fix some things. Right. And I think another thing to point out as a Nick super producer stuff was

pointing out was just sort of the, the tie in and relationship of like Kushner and his need for money for his building, which is still on what was it? A six, six, six. What the fuck is the address?

Fifth Avenue, Fifth Avenue or is the address? Fifth Avenue. Fifth Avenue or whatever. He's got that. They have their own little WhatsApp group that they talk in. And, you know, the relationship with the Saudis because of their oil production is one that further complicates things and adds other dimensions to this. For example, as Anna Hosnia slides me this note,

you know, like oil prices are already going up and that's already pissing Trump off. Like, what are we going to do? It's. Yeah. Whatever. So, I mean, the specific things that are being said, the equivalent of a Facebook post where the, you know, black kid who got shot by the cops was smoking weed. Black kid who got shot by the cops was smoking weed the equivalent of that for hash Oh gee is that he was tied to the Muslim Brotherhood

Like early in his career like once said something that was vaguely positive about them and has since like spent his career Talking about like speaking out against things like that And then he was also embedded as a reporter covering Osama bin Laden, like a really huge get to actually like go and travel around with Osama bin Laden and report on that. And now Donald Trump Jr. is like, yeah, he was palling around with Osama bin Laden.

And there's like Fox News shows that are saying, Khashoggi was tied to the Muslim Brotherhood. Yeah, okay, well. Yeah. It just shows you how they're willing to fucking do anything. Yeah. Just all in the name of money. I mean, I agree that we should hurt some journalists.

Which ones? Call them out. Okay, well, let's say all these InTouch magazines and these Star magazines, right? Those aren't journalists, Eric. Yeah, but they call themselves journalists. Do they? Don't they?

I don't know. If I met somebody who was like, I'm a journalist, I'd go, oh, who do you write for? And they go, OK Magazine. I would say, get the fuck out of my face. Isn't that a type of journalism? Like, oh, so what's Katy Perry up to? Oh, look how fat her knees are.

I guess by... I mean, if you're just merely just looking at pictures and commenting, I don't know if that makes you a journalist. I don't understand why people are annoyed at people trying to find the truth. That, for me, is fascinating. Hey, he's trying to find the truth

and make the world a better place. Yeah, well, people are just too... Their egos are too fragile, and I think at some level, especially if you're doing bad shit, on some level, some people do know that what they're doing is wrong and a journalist only brings that mirror up to your

face and I think that's a sensation people like that just do not want to experience at all self-reflection yeah so producer Ana Hosnier you look like you have something to say I just wanted to add that he's basically being punished for being a journalist who had access to the Muslim Brotherhood and bin Laden, who was out there doing a very dangerous job, which was reporting both sides of what was happening in the Middle East when it comes to terrorism and or extremist groups.

not capable of doing. And he was able to get in there, interact with bin Laden, interact, travel with the Muslim Brotherhood, and see what was happening with his own eyes and report on it, which is not something you necessarily should be punished for, because it's kind of a very fascinating angle that we as people in America, who mostly follow the mainstream media, will never understand or learn about unless someone's out there and it's crazy that he basically is being smeared with that well that's the point they want to obscure it they're trying to remove the fact that he's a journalist they're just saying he's a terrorist

and what you actually described was really good journalism because you're showing two sides of the story because there's always two sides of the story and he got and I also want to make a point that if he was someone who did get Because there's always two sides of the story. columns to like terrorists it doesn't really work like that it means his work was worth enough value for him to get as far as he did and i think that's what's getting completely disregarded in this whole situation well that's yeah i think everyone who understands what the reality of the situation

is all knows that but this is just such a sad attempt at trying to just like use these really suspect arguments to be to equate him to a terrorist. Let's say he was like a fucking wild liar journalist or whatever. The fact is he's exercising his right to free speech either way. And I don't think he wasn't saying anything that was necessarily slanderous or whatever. It was just the fact that he was exposing things and that was suppressed and that cost him his life. No government kills someone that's him his life. No government kills someone that's a bit crazy.

They kill the one that knows something. Of course. They know people who are a threat or who can get other people to wake up to something. The end. The end of the conversation. I mean, that's surely... Why is everyone debating about who he is as a person? Well, we're not. They are. They're just trying to figure out how they're going to spend it.

For me, it's just like, done. Move on. In in this case i feel like it's the most insecure of governments because when you put a 30 year old in charge the whole time he hasn't built up his skin to be like no it doesn't matter what they say i'm the one that's in charge that's what matters right now you have a 30 year old who probably reads twitter see shit about him and it is just like, well, fuck that. I will not have this. I will make sure that man is dead because he looked at me the wrong way. Literally, it's the equivalent of he stepped on my shoes and now he's dead because I run this powerful regime

and that's the way I want it. It is like a child president. Boy King. Yeah, Boy King, exactly. He's also trying to impress a guy who is the most insecure human being in the world who is our president. This is what two tiny weenies does. Yeah. I just don't think it should be underrated that he told Khashoggi to be silent after he criticized Donald Trump.

That's crazy. Don't fuck my checkup. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017 was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.

Listen to the Amber and Lacey Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.

And Rihanna was asked by the NFL to do the halftime show of the Super Bowl, which would have actually been cool if she, if they weren't the NFL. Yeah. But I mean, a halftimeime show halftime shows are like you know 20 to 30 minute concerts that are like the biggest live music event of the year in the united states like on television and i would i would love to see it from uh what rihanna would do with that instead of fucking what is is it? Not Sum 41, but... Maroon 5. Maroon 5.

Yo, could you imagine? Yeah, so it's Maroon 5 right now. Because I'm into deep. They're in the same camp as for me. It's just like some people who had a hit song a while ago that I don't know. You put Sum 41? Yo, it's like, I don't know. I like your reality.

Some whack, like K-rock shit. Yeah. Fuck off. It's Maroon 5. Well, yeah, I mean, apparently they asked her your reality. Some black, like, K-Rock shit. Yeah. Fuck off. It's Maroon 5. Well, yeah. I mean, apparently they asked her before it settled on Maroon 5, and she was like, that's a hard pass for me. You know, out of solidarity with Colin Kaepernick, who's been blacklisted, essentially, from

the NFL, and just over the whole kneeling issue. So she was like, yeah, I'm fine. I don't really want anything to do with the new plantation system, so you can ask someone else. Right. So good on you, Riri. Yeah, I love that. Rihanna, if you're not going to do it, we're going to get Maroon 5. Yeah, go ahead.

Yeah, what if they had told her? Do you think she would have done it then, like for the people? No. She's doing this for the people. I know. You know what I mean? Yeah. And also shout out to her, too, because apparently Fenty Beauty is about to take over even all

the Kardashians' cosmetics shit. Yeah. So, you know what, Riri? Keep doing your ting. Mm-hmm. All right. Let's do a quick Bloid Watch. Bloid Watch.

That's pretty quick. I mean, look. We all know. Eric, as you might know, last time you were here, we were- Let's see what these journalists have to say. Oh, that's an old one. That's an old one here. You can look at some of these, but we're just looking at the cover stories.

Last time you were here, this was Harry and Meghan were not married yet. Right. And now, now you're back. It's full-on baby time. She's having a baby. How are you? What's the vibe with you? Do you care?

Oh, I don't care. Like last time I asked, you said, I don't care. I don't give a shit. Generally, Americans love the royalties more than the UK does. Right. And now, obviously, probably more because you have an American that's infiltrated the Buckingham Palace. Yes. And I bet, oh my God, I bet the proper royal nuts, the right-wing people in the uk must be going mad is that right

wing over there like that's what fox news in the uk would be into is royal shit um no no no but the idea of of uh of a non-white it's like a non-white american right oh oh i see what you're saying just you know run-of-the-mill racism but Jack. But I guess the difference with the Buckingham Palace and stuff is that they don't really have a say in politics. Right, exactly. So I guess, like, there's not as much... It's just ambivalence over there towards them. All right, you know.

What's funny is, like, on... Which one is this? No, it's on Us Weekly. It has Meghan on. It says, why I can't wait to be a mom. It says, the scary health crisis she overcame. And the Queen's adorable reaction. When you go in there, like, oh, damn, I can't wait to be a mom. It's the scary health crisis she overcame. And the Queen's adorable reaction. When you go in there like, oh, damn,

I wonder if the Queen did something. Like, did she have a fun joke or something? And all they say is, in a sweet moment, Queen Elizabeth, who's formed an especially close bond with Megan, took the opportunity to, quote, congratulate them in person for the first time. Wow. She does not usually

come out of her chair like that. Yeah, that is adorkable, Elizabeth. That's adorkable, Lizzie. I mean, so one thing that the gossip world is saying is that Meghan made the announcement that she was pregnant at Eugenie's wedding, which is not cool. Who is Eugenie?

I don't know some royal someone is part of that if it ain't someone coming an offshoot of Charles and Diana it ain't real to me they're like fucking gerbils they're fucking each other all the time just making tiny little bloody royals everywhere

speaking of like assassination though so that is supposedly what they did to Princess Diana. Right. Because she was dating... Dodi Al-Fayed. Yeah. And I don't think the queen was very happy with that.

Yes. His dad owns Harrods, right? Muhammad Al-Fayed? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And also Fulham FC for a time, which is why the Michael Jackson Stadium was outside Craven Cottage. Some EPL facts for you. Which is very interesting timing that it all happened in a tunnel where there was no CCTV. Right.

Oh. There's our conspiracy music. Not quite a conspiracy, though. And Life and Style, they have a real... I didn't know that Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden from Good Charlotte were together. Oh. So, you know, color me shocked. Oh, how'd you feel?

It's just weird. He has like a weird tattoo hairline on his head. That's not a wave, y'all. If you're bald, just shave that. Oh, my God. I just saw a picture of a woman with wrinkles. Oh, my God. Get that magazine out of here.

Get him a bucket. Get him a bucket. No, but apparently they fight all the time, I guess, Benji and Cameron Diaz. And it says, like, at Gwyneth Paltrow's Hamptons wedding, according to a source, the 46-year-old actress got into a heated argument with the good Charlotte Rocker, 39, during the reception. Cameron tried her best to hold it together, but she made more than one teary-eyed trip to the bathroom. It would just be so bizarre to see Cameron Diaz out in public fighting with Benji Madden, to me. I'll tell you what I've just really enjoyed here.

So I'm reading In Touch magazine, ironically. And there is on the page the Barack and Michelle Obama inaugural ball 10th anniversary masterpiece tribute. So you can buy this. What is it? They're dancing. Oh, it's a figurine. It's a figurine, right? dancing. Oh, it's a figurine.

It's a figurine, right? And I just feel like, I feel like the people that are fans of Obama's probably don't read In Touch as much. Well, In Touch is the woke one. Oh, it's the woke one? Sorry, it's not. I'm looking at this week's In Touch, which is Melania, my side of the story, revealed

the real reason she's the world's most bullied person. So, yeah, take her at her word. No, this is, OK is the one that isn't issued by, or owned by David Pecker. Who is Trump's homie. Yeah. But the other thing they talk about is, you know, we talk about Selena Gomez, like how she went to go to like a, like mental health treatment with all her, like, I guess her

health diagnoses. And then now they're just being like, nah, she's just all bummed out that Justin Bieber got married behind her, like all quick and shit. And then there's another wild headline, which is I think you have, oh no, it's over here at Star where it says, Saving Selena,

the psychiatrist tells all. Yo, who the fuck? What kind of psychiatrist is that? Tell me all your problems. We're live on TMZ. And then I'm just going to fucking sell this shit to someone else. But really, when you go inside, like, I guess they have a team of therapists and psychologists that they hire to just wildly speculate on people's issues. And that's what that is.

Right. Speaking of the Melania Trump thing, though, like, you know, it is sad. She probably does get bullied a lot. By her husband. Which probably by her husband a little bit. We've seen footage. So it is quite sad. You probably does get bullied a lot. By her husband. Which, probably by her husband a little bit. We've seen footage. So it is quite sad. You shouldn't bully anyone. No.

But then also, Melania, you know, I'm sure Ava Brown got some shit. Right. Yeah, yeah. But please, it is not me that did this. But do you think there are people in Nazi Germany that saw Ava and they're like, fuck, I'm Ava, dog.

I hate her. Yeah. I hate her, man. Oh, yeah. But everyone had to be like, oh, wow, you know what I mean? Oh, Ava and they were like, fuck, I'm Ava, dog. I hate her. I hate her, man. But everyone had to be like, oh, wow. You know what I mean? Oh, Ava, nice jacket. I think it's the different regimes where people can talk out the side of their neck out here right now, for now.

There was a decade where Hitler and the Nazis were wildly unpopular in Germany. Yeah. And then they just slowly came to power. And then once they took over, it was like, well,

we're at war. Also another good behind the bastards episodes episode where you hear about the non Nazi bastards that helped the Nazis become full bastards because all you need are complicit judges and politicians to kind of vibe with. And you can go from wildly unpopular to suddenly total power. Yeah. That's the thing. Again,

it takes time. People say World War II was 1939 to 1945, but really it started much earlier than that. Wasn't it 1933 when he came into power? All that time in between the end of World War I to get there.

Sprinkle a little something. Kids in cages. Just a little something. All you need is somebody who's overcompensating for something. Like what the knight of long knives. I bet they were a long Hitler. Are you folding a paper airplane over there? I am, dude.

I like how you just kind of need to do some self-care real quick. You're like, I'm going to use this subscription card. Hold on, what's your paper airplane style there? Doesn't seem very... You don't have that? Oh, that looks like one of the... It's like a fighter jet paper airplane. I was terrible at fucking folding paper airplanes as a kid.

Clearly, if you don't know this style. I mean, this is just basic. I remember seeing it in a movie. Oh, and... Oh, my God. Anna, your eye. Okay, shh. You're going to ruin the show.

Just go bleed outside. And another thing, just with regards to the media because i feel like we're getting to this point where people are like oh i'm so tired of reading stories about trump the 10 years like when hitler first came to power all stories were about like the nazis are fucking crazy huh guys yeah and then like six years later nobody was writing about them because it was just like yeah we're fucking over that accepted facted fact. Yeah, we're done. Enough with the Nazi stuff. Can we start talking about something else?

No, we got to keep talking about it. Right. Because they're all, you know, like we said, it's a slow march into that shit. Next thing you know, you're in the Matrix. That's right. Well, we're all in the Matrix, so none of it matters. Am I right, guys? As long as I can be a mouse.

Remember Tasty Wheat? No. that was what he says in the matrix oh when he gets on this ship he's like remember tasty wheat what the fuck no bro you live in a weird ship underground anyway that's my matrix reference for the day do you fuck with cereal no uh i don't fuck with not anymore cereal lately uh wait why did you just bring that up oh because i said tasty yeah well he was talking i think it I don't fuck with it not anymore I've been eating cereal lately uh raisin bread and crunch wait why'd you just bring that up oh cause I said tasty wheat yeah well he was talking I think it was more of like

uh uh what's that other fucking wheat shit that's like oatmeal that people eat oh uh

weedabix not weedabix yeah it's uh cream of wheat cream of wheat cream of wheat is what I think he was referring to cause they were just eating

sludge down there Eric yes it's been a pleasure having you man thanks for having me and apologies if I Wheat. Cream of wheat. Is what I think he was referring to, because they were just eating sludge down there. Eric. Yes. It's been a pleasure having you, man. Thanks for having me, and apologies if I was just anger. No, well, this is quite therapeutic sometimes. That is the natural reaction to this. Except you get to go home, and then I have to read the news again.

Where can people find you? You know, my name. I do have a couple of podcasts called Topical Island and then the other one, Comedian Cinema Club. And that's quite fun. It's a weekly thing. If you enjoy me getting stoned and talking nonsense, that is what I do.

And it's not political heavy. And I also have an album coming out on the 9th of November called Alien of Extraordinary Ability. Remember, remember the 9th of November. And tell them about the Topical Island podcast because I believe somebody recently called it out as a great podcast on the Daily Zyka. Oh, really?

Yeah. Did he? Oh, that's very nice. Or maybe it was just in studio. Oh, like as a reference. Oh, so that doesn't count then. Well, we're saying it right now. Either way, one of our very funny guests

said that your podcast is very funny. Tell the listeners what it's about. So basically, I get stoned and I have these sound effects that I do where I live on an island with my mate Gregory, who's a chimpanzee. And so if I don't have a guest, I can have a full conversation with this chimpanzee. Obviously, you're listening to a man have a full breakdown. Well, hi. And it's basically like it's just Wikipedia.

I'll choose one topic. It used to be topical. So that's why it was called Topical Island. It used to be topical. And then I realized that generally for my mental health to read the news all the time

actually wasn't healthy for me. I know some people can handle it like you two. He says as he's folding more and more planes. Oh my god. And so now I just choose a topic that I really enjoy.

It is fun. It's science and philosophy mixed with a little bit of silliness. It's fun. Is there a tweet you've been enjoying that you can share with our listeners? I think it's called Thought of the Dog. thought of the dog thought of the dog thought of the dog and it's just a dog obviously

it's a human being but um uh or an ai we don't know uh but it's uh it's just a dog's view point on on life it's just always very positive because dogs are always like just wagging their tails and very happy yeah and you know among the trump and trump tweets and very happy. Yeah. And you know, among the Trump tweets and the Saudi Arabia tweets, you get a little thought of the dog and he's just like, hey guys,

just so you know, water's great. Oh, thanks. Water is good. I love animal accounts like that. Fuck yeah. Shout out to

bird rights activists. Mm-hmm. Miles. Yeah? Where can people find you? Man, you can find me getting high as shit. Yeah.

Bye. We got that. Okay, fine. If you really want can find me getting high as shit. Yeah. Bye. We got that. Okay, fine. If you really want to find me on Twitter and Instagram, at Miles of Grey, a tweet that I like. This isn't really funny. It's just a very interesting thing from Reddit that someone took screenshots of and uploaded. It's from at Sturgeons underscore law.

And basically the tweet is TLDR. Too longD-R, too long, didn't read. But guy takes his girlfriend to see Jordan Peterson speak. She immediately tells him she wants to see other people. He doesn't understand why. And this guy basically posted in the Jordan Peterson subreddit about how Jordan Peterson changed his life and he kept trying to get his girlfriend to go with him to speak. And when they did, she was just like,

oh my goodness, sir, we can't do this anymore. And he's like, I don't understand. And then someone reads him so thoroughly, they're like, let me just break down, even in your telling of this, why you are someone no one would want to be with. And it's quite interesting. Although the man who was describing the situation,

very level-headed in describing his downfall. So yeah, he must not be a man. I feel like that happens on Reddit. People are just like, yeah, not be American. I feel like that happens on Reddit. People are just like, yeah, so it turns out I'm a douchebag. Sometimes people will just comment. Not always. Right, right, right.

It's not known for its level-headed commenters, but sometimes you'll get just somebody who is completely objective. But yes, I will pin this to my account if you want to see that, because it is just, oh my gosh, man. Jordan Peterson's got some of these young men so fucked up all right uh a tweet that i've been enjoying is from brian thurman brian j thurman at brian j thurman he let us know that uh danielle radford who was guest on this very show uh at the end of last week is now featured for Feet of the Day on WikiFeet.

Yeah! Drop the bomb. Hell yeah. Miles told her about WikiFeet, the existence of WikiFeet, and she was like, oh, let me see my page. And of course she had one because everybody has one. And she was like, oh, my rating is not great.

And she requested that she get some love from the Zeitgang. And now she is feat of the day. So fuck yeah, Zeitgang. Fuck yeah, Daniel Radford. Wiki feat ratings for sale. Anybody. That's going to be our new business model. Don't want to be covering up some sneakers.

Yes. Let them toes breathe. Let them. Yeah. I don't know. Let them toes breathe. Let them breathe. Let them toes breathe. Let the world know. So on top of just doing ratings, a couple of Zeitgang, I see you out there, were posting comments about her feet.

But the one that was just, this is by the user, Dynamite24, it said, everything you could, because people were like, some people were like, I don't know, I don't understand why this is Feet of the Day. And then someone just put, everything you could possibly want in feet, such as the presence of bones, joints, muscles, skin, etc. The picture makes them appear corporal and three-dimensional, which are also good qualities to have in feet. I imagine they are body temperature, too, which is also a nice feature. Beautiful. Just the bare minimum.

Wow. Beautiful feet. I'm mad like feet. Yeah. Yeah. Just in concept and in practice. Yes. Lo bare feet. I'm mad like feet. Just in concept and in practice. Love's feet. You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien.
