Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 306, episode 4 of Dirt Daily's Eye Geist Day, a production of iHeartRadio. This is a podcast where we take a deep dive into American shared consciousness, and it is Thursday, September 28th, 2023. Overheard somebody signing for something. And they said, what is it? September 23rd. And I just respect being like almost a week off.

Yeah. Because I've done that shit before. Like signing my kids into school. And they're like, what do you do for a living, sir? Like, I'm not a banker, okay? I don't know what the date is. I just have a daily podcast where I say the date at the beginning every time.

Is that really it? No. That's who we're honoring today? Strawberry Pie Day. Sure. Strawberry Cream Pie. I've never had a Strawberry Cream Pie. That feels like a gross thing that an a older cousin would tell you what it

really means. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a cream cheese though. Baked into a thing. It looks,

it doesn't look baked. Cream cheese doesn't always look the best, but it's darn good. Man, it works. It really works for me. That is some good down home Midwestern casserole cooking right there. Anything where you're baking cream cheese in.

Anyways, my name's Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Speaking of sexual pies. So why, why all the hype for AI? I could use it for a paper, but then maybe I'd die. And them good old boys, you know, those Silicon guys singing, won't you fund our killer AI? Won't you fund our killer

AI? Now, American Pie, at that point, not explicitly a sexual pie, but it did become one. In the hands and groin of Jason Biggs. Anyways, I'm thrilled to be joined. Oh, wait.

I got to say who that was from, that beautiful eight. AKA, that was from Rezik on the Discord. Shout out to you, sir. I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. It's Miles Gray. Oh, shit. Hold on. Here we go.

What a shame. He's the only option we have. I chimed in with a hazard DNC ever heard of. Holding a primary. No, it's much better to keep the incumbent. Even though he's lacking popularity. Okay. Shout out to Shawnee Pawnee on the Discord.

For that little panic at the disco. Actually, panic at the Discord. On the Discord over that one.ique at the disco. Panique? Actually, panic at the discord, on the discord over that one.

Yes, Phoenix. Exactly. This Phoenix will not rise from the ashes. It has burnt itself to death uh but yeah no i'm i'm so psyched to be here as usual it's great to start a little late we're busy integrating the uh damian lillard trade into our into our beings into our personhood didn't see that coming it's hard is he even gonna play for them didn't he he only wanted to go to miami right and now he's going to the miami of the north milwaukee yeah i wonder if a body of water up there right one of those one of those great lakes it's like i'll be yeah yeah he's like you're not going to miami but the team does have m and i

in the first two letters of the city. You got to read it. You got to read the whole word. They paid attention to the opening sound and the ending sound of the word city that he was asking to be traded to. Nothing in between. Me. I think this trade is really fun. I know this isn't our NBA podcast, but I think it's fun.

It brings Damian Lillard, puts him on a team that gives him a real chance at winning a title. It makes Giannis relevant again. Giannis is probably our most fun and lovable celebrity basketball player at the moment. So I'm here for it. I think it's James Harden. I think James Harden's the most fun, you know, lovable one. We can take our self-hating Sixers fandom off the mic,

but Miles suggested a good new line for us when people ask if we're Sixers fans, that we only recognize one team of Sixers. Yeah. Miles, you want to tell them what it is? The January Sixers. Yeah, that's the only Sixers. Miles, you want to tell them what it is? The January Sixers. Yeah, that's the only Sixers I recognize. And I'm not a

fan of them. And I don't even know about another group. Anyways, Blake, we're thrilled to have you here. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. We're going to take a look at... We haven't checked in with Jesse waters in a while,

uh, since his mom called in and was like, we, uh, don't like you. Uh, on, was that his first episode where they were like,

yeah. Okay, honey, we love you, but like, you're doing a bad job at making the world a worse place. Try not to do that so much. Love you too, mom.

That was like kind of his like energy the whole time. Yeah. Okay. All right, mom. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Anyways, he sent a producer to Seattle to do a story on the liberal hellscape. And it's interesting.

I don't know. I don't know what they were looking for and why they thought they found it. But we want to see what's going on over at Waters. Airbnb is doing another one of their fun, like, you can sleep in Barbie's Malibu Dreamhouse thing. But this one centers a earwax candle. Oh, okay. So we'll... Oh, Christ.

Talk about that. And we'll talk about, I guess, Donald Trump's been found guilty or liable for fraud in a $250 million civil case that is arguing for the dissolution of his entire company. So we're going to talk about how that came about, what that case looks like. I don't know if it's going to have any impact oh it will it will financially for sure financially yeah yeah yeah but it's more about like can he recoup that money from like the saudi arabians that he like in a deposition was like they'll pay whatever i want for something so it doesn't matter what the value is and you're like i'm sorry what was that part hold on can we rewind that yeah i don't know how much that's talked about, but that was like one of his like arguments in a deposition that it didn't matter because he's got Saudi buyers that'll pay whatever I say. beginning to sort of look at that and be like hold on well i mean it makes sense when you look at like the amount of money jared kushner like absconded with yeah um so you start to be like

oh okay so it's like buy my overvalued property and we'll look away when you you know do summary executions of american citizens no it's fucking crazy i don't know if you know this i used to be the president so i can just tell people what to pay it's fucking great i make so much bring it up i hate bringing it up however if you want to look away killing it out here killing it out here dude all of that plenty more but before we get to any of that shit blake wexler we do like to ask our guests what is something from your search history search Surchistry is my favorite pale ale. And it is 40% ABV, which stands for alcohol by volume, of course. It's just rum.

Yeah. People keep telling me it was made in the West Indies. And I'm like, not with a name like Surchistry. No, that was definitely made in the greatest Britain. Surchistry. no that was definitely made in the greatest britain yeah such history i recently googled crab walk because i posted a video where i was crab walking out of a concert and i was unsure a if it was one word or two but b if it was a potentially unsensitive term and i don't know why to crustacea yeah which i believe was a plane that went down somewhere crustacean airlines but

yeah the only it would only be derogatory towards a member of the crip gang all right that is that is derogatory crab is derogatory for a crip and then if crip walking crab walking might be a you know i don't know i don't know who you hang around if they're all wearing red oh you're right that's why you got that take. But hey. No, that's going to get me in trouble. Blake said that he was crab walking out of a concert. He was crip walking out of a concert. Yeah. And he had a red flag coming out of his pocket.

I was like, whoa, okay. Oh, damn, man. I was wearing a Phillies practice jersey as well, which was red too. So no, it's first of all not offensive um except to the the groups that we mentioned crabs yeah and certain la-based gangs of course and then it's a national i believe it is international i'm so sorry and i'm really in hot water right now hot blue water i'm here with the anti the crip anti-defamation league everybody needs an advocate yeah and you've proven that but yeah no we're all clear on that but it turns out because i remember crap walking from like middle school where it would just be a

thing like in gym class or maybe in regular class or it's like all right it's just a thing for kids to do but i've realized i think it might be a legitimate exercise where you engage your core while you do it. And also, it's probably your triceps it helps with as well. So apparently physical trainers recommend this. Well, also your hips too because you got to get those hips up. That's a good hip exercise. This is where you're like on all fours but on your back, right?

Yeah, your pelv up. Correct. Pelv up, butt down. H hips to the sky yeah yes plumbers i would hope uh horizontal like just a perfect line at all parallel to the ground yeah parallel to the ground yeah where they belong and because a lot of people use their legs to walk straight up and i find that yeah go ahead did you pull off finish my statement i said i found it disgusting go ahead mile did you pull off like how did it feel to crap i'm in crab walked in a minute how did that feel did did you feel like you still had it or maybe you guys held up do some more reps okay

yeah the blake still the body held up and i did even slip which completely uh defied the purpose of the crab walk where i was at a concert and on a steep hill and and I could have paid for nicer seats I have the money I just like sitting on the ground so I was it was an indoor concert and you were on a hill nearby yeah I brought sod with me I brought a hundred square feet of sod for me to sit in the mosh pit in the middle of it right yeah i got stepped on rudely but yeah no i i held up well i did it for a long time and i see i might just do that just might be how i walk now i might just continue doing it it feels like but i'll have to get hand shoes it feels like one of those things like someone has i feel like i've seen on the internet someone who like crab walked like across America to like raise awareness.

Yes. Yeah. It was November. But before that, it was. Yeah. Right. Walk March. And I think.

Yeah. The last one they they I think the last time crab walk came up came up was that guy who escaped prison in Pennsylvania. Oh, I know him. Did you see that clip? And he crab walked his way out. Yeah. Because he like found he found like three miles of shit no no he had to like get up the prison walls but he did the version where you put like your feet on one wall and your hands on the like an opposite wall and

just kind of like inch your way up oh okay yeah yeah yeah is that crab walking i feel like we're giving crab walking like because everyone called that crab walk all the news that's i remember that's how crab walking came back into my mind. Because from the BBC to Al Jazeera to CNN, they were all calling the crab walking. So I don't remember last time. Yeah. They had that kind of consensus. It's interesting that we just kind of refer to any sort of shimmying moving on all fours in an unorthodox manner as crab walking.

Right. But crabs do. moving on all fours in an unorthodox manner as crab walking. Right, but crabs do walk like that. I saw a crab underwater, and boy, does it walk sideways. They walk all sorts of silly, those things. It's like, man, they just... All sorts of silly. Yeah, they're just... The sea floor is a mess.

Yeah, it's pretty funny. Yeah, shout out to just unorthodox ways of walking. Like my kids, my five-year-old is learning to skip, and skipping is a lot of fun. Oh, yeah. You know, it's not acceptable, but, man, you can. What do you mean it's not acceptable? It's just an energetic way to get around.

It's not acceptable for me to skip around, Miles. You've made that perfectly clear. Well, I've only said that ain't skipping you're doing. I was like, I don't know what that is, but that is skipping it ain't. Actually, have you seen those clips of older people trying to skip and they can't remember? Oh, no. Oh, my God. You can forget how to skip?

That'd be hard on your knees. Dude, it's so funny watching people being like, I can skip and they hold on, I gotta play. Watching somebody like watching my five-year-old try to remember how to skip is pretty funny. But when she asked him to prove it, he then realized

he forgot how. What the fuck is this? This is exactly what it's like when my kid tries to tries to skip he can't remember

how to do it still couldn't figure it out oh there he started this is so adorable he's like he's like walking like a little wind up toy

yeah yeah it looks like his legs they operate independently from the rest of him there's this this like a whole thing of like,

people be like, Hey, do you remember how to, anyway, it doesn't matter. People don't remember how to get high knee. Yeah. He started doing the gritty at the end.

He did. What the fuck was that? Yeah. Hashtag forgot how to skip. Of course. You want to follow that? Oh man. Every day I go on these social media platforms and it's trending and i'm just like yeah

i don't know we get it blake what's something you think's overrated now this is at the risk of miles saying something snide about my palate and then i let it go and then i think about it for weeks and weeks i ate 150 worth of taco bell over the weekend. I got I got no place coming after people's palate. But go ahead. I feel I feel safe now. It ordering meat rare, I feel like is overrated. I feel like you get shamed if you even order it at a medium at a medium situation. And I think that I eat meat constantly. I'm not I don't have a good diet by any stretch of the imagination, but I do see meat as a delivery device for like sauce, you know, like as a platform for what I think the sauce is generally the star to me. So what's the difference? I mean, you don't want it tough like you don't want to, you know, hurt your teeth. But I think when people like, oh, I want it rare. Or if I ask a waiter,

hey, can I get this medium? They go, well, actually, we recommend that it's rare. It's like, well, I recommend that you leave it in longer because I want to eat that. That's how I talk to people in the service. Well, let me speak to your manager, first of all. Can we bring out someone of the bourgeoisie uh please that i can speak to so i can be heard yeah who is the owner of this business not the worker i'd like to speak to the owner yes and i would like to uh call him mister so i also feel supported around kind of like yeah yeah eat whatever the fuck you want i think i don't even eat shit i don't eat i would never order something rare like i just eat medium rare that's that's pretty much to me the best part where you get the little

you know you need that little bit of redness pinkness to your meat because once you cook all that fucking moisture out then it's like you're overpaying for a meat delivery or a sauce delivery mechanism at that point that's interesting that's yeah uh in the yeah no medium rare it's funny i say medium because then i feel like they're just going to do whatever the fuck they want anyway you know so i'm like medium and then they're going to bring it out well we can do have you had some like and that's also you do also say that to the server uh i'll say medium but you're gonna do whatever the fuck you want anyways no sir we as i wave my fork around like, we actually cook it to order.

Yeah, but you're probably just going to probably fucking spit on it or do whatever. You know, whatever. Just do whatever you're going to do. I know what they tell you to say. You don't value my opinion, do you? I don't know why I even came here. I don't even know why I go out to eat anymore. It's always a shitty experience for me.

Honey, it's your birthday and I cooked your favorite steak. The one you've loved since you were a boy. Open it up. what i say i don't even say cut it for me i say open up what's inside of it pop that thing like it's an autopsy yeah what's in it yeah crack it up yeah yeah yeah nope spread it out suspected yeah no it's so funny and then i go sit we don't uh we have one piece of patio furniture outside and i just sit in the chair and i stare until um until i do come in and apologize of course because i would never speak to my wife that way wait oh i was playing i was playing your mother i was your mother in that bit actually not your oh oh yeah i don't publicly acknowledge that i have a mother oh i'm sorry sorry sorry i didn't mean to do that didn't mean to do that that's

right until i've uh you fell from the sky he came from the sky folks thank you thank you like k-pop stars don't acknowledge when they're in a relationship you don't acknowledge you have a mother so that mothers can feel like they can be your mother yeah and become fans of you you just have your crowds are full of mothers like god I would love to be his mom. He just lost 30% of his fans because I made that comment. They're like, I can't fucking, I can't ship us as a mother-son relationship now. Now that I know that he has a real mom. Nah, he already has a mom. He'd never let me be his mom.

What was I thinking? I will publicly acknowledge it after I go from seven days a a week of therapy down to six and then i will acknowledge that i have a mother good we'll be waiting we'll be waiting we'll celebrate i know you will and you're good friends yeah i'll also say there's something like very i don't know when people when the thing that people criticize trump for is that he likes his steak that he gets the blake wexler and asks for his steak right that's well done with yeah slathered and catch up like that's not a good that's not the angle like that that just ties into the thing that like i think historically is going to be not on the side of people who like criticize trump which is that they're like there is part

of it who's just like he's just so like gross and rude and i don't like the way he like talks like his accent is uncouth doesn't believe it's cool non-presidential yeah just just focus on the racism you're still talking about trump yeah yeah not. Not you. My accent is not focused on the racial focus, focus on the racism and not like how he likes his hamburgers. Who, who gives a shit how he likes his hamburgers. Yeah, I agree.

Like if, how, what, what we thought of meat and how we took our meat was the main deciding factor. Then I would be the biggest Mitt Romney supporter because his favorite meat is hot dog. That is. Yeah.

That shit rolls. That's the fucking funniest thing anyone's ever said. Great. Yeah. And he orders his rare. He has a rare hot dog. Rare hot dog. I like a soft, a warm pink center.

Yeah. Well, it's a fucking hot dog, man. That's kind of what it, man. That's kind of what it always is going to be. You're just cooked anyway. They're all cooked already. Oh, you mean cooked? Wait, hold on. He doubled down on his hot dog love

over the summer. I don't know if you saw this clip of Mitt Romney walking with a hot dog hat. And a hat with a hot dog on it. And this was viral content for Jamie Loftus' book. No, 100%. Well, as you all know, today is National Hot Dog Day. And perhaps you also know that hot dog is my favorite meat.

I love hot dogs. I love them in buns. I love them outside of buns. I love them with baked beans. I just like hot dogs. It's the best meat there is without question. So

uncomfortable. Is this the best meat there is? A walk and talk. Whose decision was like, nah, you got to walk. You got to walk while you're doing this viral video. Here's my question. Don't bother to hide your lavalier mic. It's like cords are dangling everywhere.

He's about to trip on it. But hey, hot dog is the best meat there is. I can see him putting a white napkin in his shirt collar, fork and knife. Where is he going to become a public servant next? What state is he going to move to? Because he was, what, governor of Massachusetts. Now he's a senator, right? Of Utah.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he might become the senator of Milwaukee. And they do have a senator. The city itself is like D.C. The city has a senator, famously. Yeah, of course. Yeah.

Fun fact, he's 76. He looks right. He looks great. Pretty together for 76. Fucking testament to the health value of hot dogs. Yeah. What's my secret? Hot dog.

I like hot dogs. My favorite meat's hot. Because he did say, my favorite meat's hot dog. He still said it like it is a kind of meat rather than the idea of hot dog. My favorite meat is hot dog. I think the first time it was an accident accident and now he's just playing into it like because you would say steak not steaks yeah exactly or maybe it's yeah maybe it's just because he's a fucking connoisseur and that's just you know like it's the right way to say it that's the right way to say it yeah it create it actually has

all the meats contained within it that That's why I like hot dogs. Yeah, exactly. It's an omni-meat or a romni-meat, as I would say. That's right. There's also a profile of him where the person goes to his apartment in D.C. and every night he eats a frozen piece of salmon smothered in ketchup. He cooks the frozen salmon. night he eats like a frozen piece of salmon smothered in ketchup like like he he cooked the frozen salmon Lisa Murakowski was like you know

gave him just a freezer full of salmon like here you go this is for you forever you will always have salmon and he like out of a sense of duty just like joylessly grinds down a fucking piece of baked salmon, like, smothered in ketchup every night. So, man has interesting tastes.

Yeah. He's allergic to wild caught, by the way. He can't have it. Yeah, it has to be. He'll go into anaphylactic shock. Yeah. It's a shock to a system. Get my EpiPen!

This was just wild-caught, not canned salmon. The joy is taking over my body like an alien symbiote. The excitement emanating off this frozen fish is going to give me a heart attack. The sense of

freedom. The sense of freedom. The sense that it had love in its heart and knew its mother. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and find out what you think is underrated. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed. Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films

and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high-control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed will be more than an exploration. It's a vital revelation aimed at ensuring

these types of abuses never happen again. Listen to Forgive Me For I Have Followed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds, Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised 150 grand in prizes to four finalists,

but the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. I mean, my reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest,

a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself, in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts

on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore, the story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday.

We're back, isn't it we're back in it blake back in it let's win it and it's underrated in it it is in it i don't know hey what's my thing is underrated yeah uh underrated yeah is uh cuba which i bring as a as a place to go and i went there with my wife for a one-year anniversary and miles was kind enough to give i don't actually know how to say this without coming off as a total fucking idiot so i'll just say it i there is every once in a while

there's something that you just accept as truth and then you don't do any research whatsoever or even give it a single critical thought or a cursory as as miles said a cursory google search i believe is what he wrote in the text message to me and i was like which was very funny and and earned on my part and uh yeah i was like oh can americans like is it safe i think for americans to go to cuba and i was like yeah it's all america it's all the united states all the vitriol is one way you know and it's all coming from the u.s government just merely for pettiness because they're a communist government where but anyway went to cuba to not on for tourism reasons because that's illegal i went to support the cuban people and i did

and i left that country better than when I found it. But no, I did go. And you can go there as an American under one of those designations. I believe support the Cuban people is the most popular one because, well, it's vague. And yeah, I went there and it was unreal. It was really interesting seeing a country like that. All the people were incredibly nice and yeah it was absolutely beautiful there so the food was unreal it's a three-hour flight

direct from newark which is crazy it is so close it's so close it's like a 30-minute flight from miami if that right well that makes sense yeah yeah it's it's unreal so yeah amazing country if you can visit it i highly recommend it yeah what's like what's an annoying food like you know whenever i travel i come back with some annoying food thing what's what's like a cuban food thing that you would like you drop some wisdom on me something you ate something you enjoyed that you wish you could have here salmon slathered in ketchup i it was i actually nutrigrain bar uh that i melted chocolate over that i brought with me um actually that's pretty good that's good man that's really good you just

put them together put the nutrigrain bar and the chocolate bar in your pocket together boom and just walk at a brisk pace and my legs are so plump that they rub together and create friction heat to melt the chocolate. And they're in separate pockets and it still works. I love that. That's how hot your legs are. That's how hot my legs got. It's just anything within a foot of my legs warms the hell up yet food wise literally this is going to be such a simple answer but any like garlic shrimp like garlic uh fish seafood where it would be very very simple and absolutely delicious fuck there is a like a break like any braised you, beef and stuff was like really good. It was just the drinks. Exactly. The drinks were so like, were amazing.

Yeah. It was just so pared down. I mean, just like any American traveling. It's like my wife has celiacs and it can be difficult for us to eat in other countries or you'd think. And then we're like, oh, what's in this? And they go, oh, it's just four things. This is the best

thing i've ever it's not like oh yeah i think there's flour in the bone of this cow and it's like you know like there isn't right right states somehow but yeah no we went on these excursions we're actually i know we're talking about airbnb today where because you can't no american financial institutions or businesses are allowed to trade with cuba or sorry hold on that's not necessarily true you can't give money as an american to the cuban state which owns most things in cuba so most of the things that you have to do is through airbnb and there were a bunch of great excursions we did we went to like multiple beaches most beautiful beaches i've ever been to in my life and rode horseback went to a cigar and coffee plantation it was on unreal so yeah it was a damn

it was damn good trip all right did they let you see the sample the sound lasers the the oh yeah sound lasers that they attack our spies with yeah yeah they didn't let me say they uh it was just yeah that's how i feel in general living in my head is like i'm being sound attacked yeah so i've been diagnosed with havana syndrome since i was at the age of 14 but before you even went there before i even went there and then it actually just evened me out i think that's why i relax so much is that yeah no and they and it's really targeted too where they don't target anyone else there it's just purely americans with uh with the sound the sound weapons but they're the idea americans go there and just blame this the symptoms of being a an american in modern america on cuba yeah i'm like all depressed and like tired all the time and feel like hopeless.

What the fuck's going on? What is that? I feel guilty. It must be your fault, beautiful place. Why do I have to bring all this cash with me, you fucking people? Because I can't use a credit card here. Why don't you guys let me use my credit cards here? And you do have to travel with all the cash that you need for the trip also, which is not as harrowing as you think. I think that

was another thing i like doing that i carried a briefcase handcuffed to my wrist for the as an accessory just never know amazing well that's very cool that sounds amazing i and i i truly i did not know that that was something that you could that you could do i thought that there were still things in place to make that very difficult i thought yeah i couldn't just worry when you got back you're like it's a communist hellscape right well it was i thought it was a liberal hellscape is what i thought that's the term i use i actually use that term whenever i exit my house i'm like this is a liberal hellscape out here hellscape let's talk about a liberal hellscape seattle jesse waters sent producers into enemy territory to see how cities are completely falling apart and how the citizens

like it's it feels like they went and being like now the people who live there are going to ask you to take them with you and you just you have to not look at them you'll get stowaways you'll get stowaways check your bag gonna try to check your bags because the seattle residents are going to try to stow away in your bags didn't it doesn't seem like it went that way instead what they got were people being like no it's it's nice There's just a problem with poverty and inequality in our city like there is in a lot of places in the world, in this country. Yeah, this clip was going around. Shout out Kat Abu on Twitter, who has the mental strength of a granite mountain as she like regularly monitors Fox News to give Twitter like these amazing clips. to give Twitter like these amazing clips.

But yeah, let's just watch them hoping that the people in Seattle are just in absolute shambles over the state of their lib hellscape. Jesse sent Johnny to the progressive hellscape where residents mocked the idea that the city is spiraling out of control. I've never seen any crime in Seattle. I've never seen any of it. I've seen fun and laughter and laughter and fun.

I don't believe that number. People, they're, you know, getting robbed out here, carjacked. I've never heard of anyone getting robbed. Crime is a social issue that could be solved by giving people their basic needs. It's not a thing that happens just on the street. People don't just come up and try to rob people on the street. Do you walk around every day like someone's going to rob me every second? Seattle decriminalized drug use, and then they criminalized it again. Oh, my God. Who are you getting these facts from?

You're from New York. Apparently, you're listening to the wrong people. I saw a lot of people shooting up on my way down here. Oh, did you? Okay. Oh, did you? And they were bothering you? I was in a car, but, you know, people...

Oh, no, you're in a car. Oh, no, they were hurting you so bad. Oh, no. Oh, no, you're in a car. Oh, no, they were hurting you so bad. Oh, no. So, yeah, they tried. I think the second you go up with that Fox News, Jesse Waters flag, people are going to be like, you think I'm going to cooperate with whatever fucking propaganda you're trying to manufacture here? Guess what?

I like how one person's like, never heard of crime. know what it is what are you what is that yeah yeah yeah just like i'm not fucking like what the fuck you want to say but yeah it's just like when you watch that i'm like why the fuck would they air that i think part of them was trying to say like these are the facts this is the data the statistics that say it's a progressive hellscape. But then afterwards, like that was Judge. What's her name? Janine Piero. Janine Piero.

The clown Piero. Judge Janine Piero. And she's like, wow, the arrogance of those people. And then Jesse Waters was like, those people believe that criminalizing crime is racist. That's pretty much where those people all come off as. It's like, well, no, criminalizing poverty is fucked up and racist. But anyway, that's another episode, Jesse, that you won't do. But whenever Democrats are in charge of things, it's a hellscape with beautiful parks and decent infrastructure, except L.A., which we have barely any roads. But, hey, we're working on it, aren't we? Yeah, we'll get around to it. We need these golf courses, man.

Yeah, we do. We do. We do. I agree. Where else are the deals going to get done? It is funny, too, that the sweetest woman in the world said the most devastating sentence I've ever heard in this devastating tone where she's so sweet. She goes, oh, were you in your car? Yeah.

Oh, no. Oh, my God. That's scary. Did the heroin go through your car and you shot it up, too? Did it come through your recycled air conditioning that you're probably using with your windows up? I'm sure it did. like conservative people just like not being able to like back up their beliefs or you know just saying wild ignorant shit and it's like well you know you can go anywhere and find people but like the fact that this is their equivalent is like going and showing people on their way to work just like saying the truth and then them being like i mean those people seem weird right right is

just interesting to me that like it yeah it does really i guess i guess part of it is like the people that they're showing are like some of them are like bike helmets and like they just are you know commuting to work and maybe they're just like look at these people looking not as good as us. I'm in a suit and they and I have these like cherry statistics. Yeah. This one's sweating. I think more than that though. I think

it just shows the difference in how people view crime right because they're coming with the Fox News version which is like poor people and drugs or whatever and then for other people who have some sense of like how a society functions they're like yeah i mean like those are kind of the failures of our government to be able to support people more than like what the fuck like where you try and use it as like this talking point they view it as like people around them in

need because they're not i think yeah i mean one guy i think was being very tongue-in-cheek when i was like i never heard of it because he just didn't want to give into like the fox bullshit but i think for the of that other uh person who responded was like yeah that's it's that you just need to meet you know make sure people's needs are met and that's how you know you can solve crime i view the people around me as people weird what yeah that sounds like empathy you know beep it they bleep it out anytime someone has any heart for another human being they blur out their their face yeah person can be humiliated that was the actually the uncensored clip that we just yeah yeah the one that went on fox it was just a it was just like that sensor tone the whole time right it sounded like a heart

uh monitor of someone who is recently deceased. Right. The entire time. Yeah. The city of Seattle that just died. R.I.P. Because of all the fucking libs up there. Yeah, that's right. Great fries. There it is. Great fries.

I do feel like part of the reason we got to see that was they, you know, they blew a big chunk of money on this reporting mission. And this was the best that they could get. It's just wild. Cause when you put a team of comedians, try that in a small town with just a comedian and a camera crew and what the shit you get is amazing. And like people saying the wildest, most offensive shit ever about their fellow human beings.

They, they're supposed to be an actual news organization they go to the big city to like you know so many people to choose from they think that it's going to be shooting fish in a barrel and instead they just get people practicing empathy being like no like wait actually if you live here you like know some of these people and you just are you view them as human beings yeah or you look at it and go man like we can be doing better as a city it's like a government or whatever but again i think that's the difference like comedians go and they're like honestly the the fun is just going to be letting people just run their mouths where like they go

into this very narrow framework of i'm going to a liberal city and i'm going to need someone who off rip is going to agree with my terribly formed conservative take where i go it's such a fucking hellscape right yeah of course their plan was so bad yeah but all they got was really good b-roll of people sleeping in the street so i guess credit to them for that yeah they spent all the money on first class tickets god if we sat him in coach with the liberals we wouldn't have had to show this fucking segment right but then they wouldn't have had the that certain je ne sais quoi about them when they were looking down on everyone you know know? Right, that's true. They wouldn't have had the extra money to buy their pipe tobacco. Pipe tobacco.

That's true. I don't know. I'm just picturing that person lighting up a pipe after he gets... Jesse Waters kind of has pipe energy. Like, I could see him pulling out a pipe and puffing on it. Like a pipe energy. Like a corncob? Or like a full-on Sherlock Holmes?

No, no, no. Like he's seen one too many episodes of Sherlock Holmes and thinks it makes him look distinguished. Oh, oh, like at home. He's like, you want to see something cool? Like this pipe collection I have. You're like, you haven't even smoked out of these. He's like, I don't know.

I'm scared. I don't want to do that. He's coughing violently. Smells terrible. My mom says I have asthma so I can never smoke cigarettes. I've never inhaled my cigarettes. I just like the, I just like the, yeah. Yeah.

All right. Let's, let's take a quick break and we'll come back and do a couple of real estate stories. Yes. stories. Yes. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.

And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast Forgive Me For I Have Followed. Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films and LA-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades. Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high-control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted,

just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed will be more than an exploration. It's a vital revelation aimed at ensuring these types of abuses never happen again.

This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised $150,000 in prizes to four finalists.

But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. My reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.

And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.

that's a boy fuck yeah dude to to echo lorne michaels why now that? That's a random reference to a Bill Hader story that probably nobody knows. Anyways, I don't know why they decided to do this now, but they've painstakingly recreated Shrek's tree stump home with cartoony props. It's like in Scotland, right? In Scotland. Wow. That is offensive. My attempt at a Scottish accent.

It's mostly because you're Irish, Jack. Yes. That's why it was offensive. Just stay on your side, bro. That's right. It looks awesome, though. I'm not going to sit here and be like, this is dumb. Fuck this.

It looks cool as fuck to me I mean I guess it looks cool in that like it seems like a from the pictures like a well executed kind of like film set but I have no interest in staying in some shit that looks like a tree stump with like cottagecore like acid trip vibes on the interior

cottagecore cottagecore L acid trip vibes on the interior cottage yeah cottagecore lsd accented they say it's starting friday october 13th onion lovers oh i don't know why onion didn't shrek eat a bunch of onions did he okay can request to book a free two nights day for up to three guests in a thrilling-looking recreation of Shrek's mossy swamp abode. Or ogres are like onions. I think maybe that's what he said.

Ogres are like onions. Does he eat onions? It's not the thing that I would have gone with in the first sentence. I wouldn't have said. For onion lovers, because first of all, it sounds like a slur. Yeah, 100%.

It also is not. The Welsh. Yeah. For all you onion-loving Welsh, Welshmen out there. Don't think about coming up from Cardiff now. Uh-uh. His friend Donkey, its Airbnb host,

is house-sitting forlloween according to the listing description the downsides sure like what could they possibly be there's no kitchen or bathroom okay fine you're gonna stay there for a couple days you could probably get by but you will also be forced to shit in shrek's outhouse, which is 20 meters from the house. And don't look down into that toilet, because there's a guy down there. Oh, yeah. The whole thing, like, has...

There's an onion lover right in that toilet. The whole thing has stinky vibes. Like, some truly stinky vibes. The Malibu Dreamhouse looks like it smells like, you know, suntan lotion. And this looks like it smells like onions and piss. But I just stay home. Yeah. Yeah.

You could stay home. If I wanted onions and piss, I wouldn't leave my house. That's right. I guess, like, is there a cartoon-based Airbnb that any of you... I think, like, for me, it's just missed on me because it just feels like sort of juvenile like or i don't know i'm just not as i'm not you know in the shrek averse like that yeah i'm trying to think of some like ninja turtles probably like i would like if i'm thinking of some stinky shit that i'd be like yo i'll fuck with that it would probably be like

to live in the sewers with the ninja turtles probably ninja turtle yeah that would be fun smurf village i think could be fun and is sort of in the same oh shrek genre is this yeah fraggle rock would you go to fraggle rock oh yeah hell yeah miles miles you just want to live underground and i love that i know you i want to move underground with you donald duck's house it's just a rich guy's house yeah exactly like scrooge mcduck's house yeah yeah with coins you can actually dive in like it's water oh my god can you imagine do you remember do you remember the first time you tried to attempt something like what you saw in the beginning of duck tales of like swimming through coins like i remember my grandparents would have like this three gallon jug of like change. And I remember the first time I looked at him, I'm like, watch my hand go through this shit like water.

And I almost broke my knuckles. And I was like, this is fucked. Yeah. This is impossible. I don't know what the fuck they think they're doing in that opening. Yeah. But ball pits can have some give to them. Whenever I think of a ball pit.

Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead. No, no. Go on, oh, I'm sorry, go ahead. No, no, you go on, please. I feel like you're starting something important. This is actually really important. I'm glad you came back to me for this. Is in Jackass, when they put the big anacondas and boa constrictors into the ball pit

and they were waiting, it is a level of psychotic, horrible scariness of just, i'm just i i'm not going into a ball pit again and i would i would have i would have found myself in a ball pit constantly but you just don't know when the snake is gonna bite you yeah jack do you remember that because because the thing was they didn't tell them right like they just thought they were getting in a ball pit weirdest ball pit and is the weirdest ball pit. And they're like, surprise, motherfucker, fucking anacondas. I would not.

I didn't see that one, and I would not have gone. I was in the biggest ball pit I've ever been in in my life a couple weeks ago, and I probably would not have felt comfortable going in there. That's a flex. Where is that? Check it for snakes, yeah. What's your life? Bubble world, Miles.

I told you about bubble world. Oh, yeah, bubble world. Bubble world. Yeah, bubble world, bubble world't don't even worry about it blake it's kind of it's a long story i'm very concerned that i haven't i'm coming to l.a next week world yeah it's an activation it's an instagram activation it's an activation okay i like yeah but i i don't know i feel like there are opportunities here that are the shrek one not so much like the shire from like i guess i guess that's what is intriguing to me is like the shyness of it all but it would like if you could have the whole like a whole little town with like where you like run out the whole little shire they have that you said in

there's like a hobbiton tour i know in new zealand i know if you're trying to get fucking hobbity you got to go down to new zealand you gotta go yeah amity island i would i would love to go where would you stay vacation there like if there wasn't his house. Wow. Yeah. Was that house nicer? Wasn't it? Didn't kind of like a spooky house. I don't think it was spooky. It was a shit hole. His house was a shit hole.

His house. He got what was coming to him. I would sleep in the shack that Quint lived in with all the shark jaws and like looked like the least insulated uh structure winners were ever really bad it does feel like low-hanging fruit when you consider like how i know like with the star wars star cruiser thing they had to kind of abandon i'm not sure like why i think it may have been like the price point or something but yeah clearly you can you can meld the fandom into like a location where people can stay. So if it was Game of Thrones, I'm sure if there was some fucking Winterfell park or fucking hotel, people would want to go there.

Or if you're a fan of fucking Ninja Turtles, you want to go in the sewers with Splinter and shit. But I don't know. I don't know why they're not doing that. Or fucking Back to the Future house. Like when they're in the future, having that dinner with all that fucking tech. That was like one of, I was like, bro,

wake me up when we're there, please. You go from like 1956 house, 1988 house to like future house. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can like skip from one part to the next. Exactly. Yeah, I'd be down. For, since we're entering spooky season,

we'll be in October in a couple of... What's like a... I feel like we haven't fully cracked the haunted house yet. I feel like you could spend the night in the house from Halloween and the bodies are hidden and a Michael Myers figure is kind of stalking you yeah the whole the whole evening sort of i'd love to pay for that longitudinal haunted house where it like

lasts all night and you're just menaced oh i mean that that reminds me of like that one where the guy was like it's like people fucking almost die when they do that haunted house but he's really just like abusing people right it's actually just assault yeah yeah exactly they almost die because i put my arm my hands around their neck and squeeze because i believed you may have actually were about to kill me it's like but i wasn't but i wasn't yeah that's right i don't know i would love to just go to mar-a-lago just for just to spend a night in mar-a-Lago as a haunted house. That's my haunted house. Just stand.

Yeah, right. Cost you $2 billion as we talked about on yesterday's trending, which is where we're going to kick the Trump libel for fraud story

to trending. But yeah. Don't show them how the hot dogs are made, Jack. Yeah. The meat. The hot dog are made.

Don't show them how the hot dogs are made jack yeah the meat the hot dog are made yeah don't show them how the hot dog are made but the hot dogs is made there is like it's funny the the value of mar-a-lago is a big trump has valued it at two billion dollars a building at two billion dollars that makes total sense uh judge valued it at like you know 18 million dollars which incident now 18 million to 27.6 million which incidentally way too much money for any one property to be worth right any any home that has ever sold for that much like you see how much it's sold for the next time and people are like whoa you made a big fucking mistake on this one pal and but then there are other they're like trump friends coming out being like no i would value it at like in that at least in the 800 million range i don't know what this judge is talking about yeah i think it's worth at

least the new sofi stadium in terms of scale yeah but that is what is at the heart of the entire you know donald trump's story that this case but also like the entirety of his rise is so much of this shit is just made up money. It's just made up numbers that they made up. He told everyone he was rich and became rich by telling everyone he was rich. That's basically what it comes down to. It's dumber. It's kind of cool. You think possible.

Yeah. It's not more complicated than that. It should be, but it's not. How'd you get that line of credit? Oh, you know, my house that's 1500 square feet. I said it was 7,000 square feet and worth $5 million. Yeah. So I got that. It's that easy. I'd give you that money too. Yeah. All right. Well, Blake Wexler, as always, such a pleasure having you. Where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff? Today, September 28th, my first ever hour stand-up special is coming out. So it is out.

Or it's coming out. It premieres at 7 p.m. Thursday, September 28th on YouTube. It's free. And yeah, I couldn't be more proud of it. If you know me personally, you know, me saying that something I did is excellent. It will probably stop my heart in moments to have that kind of positivity and optimism about something I've done. But yeah, I think it's a it's an excellent special. So if you if you want to laugh, you should watch the there's other things to do. if you want to laugh you should watch the there's other things to do but a really good thing to do is to watch my stand-up special so it's called daddy long legs and it's out on youtube amazing thank you i love that it's called daddy long legs thank you it should man knows his brand

it's about the legs folks it's about him being a daddy with legs. That's right. And is there work of media that you've been enjoying? Yes. So it's at JeffMcDev on X. Formally Twitter. No. Twitter formally X. We just talk about Twitter. Don't get fucked up.

Don't get fucked up out here. I already let that crab walk on this slide. Don't let them tell you. Yeah. Twix. It's Twitter. Twix, formally Twizzler. Oh.

And that's good. That is good. I should have written that instead of improvised. Can you edit your stand-up special before it goes live? If we can add that in. Just hardcore voiceover dub. Fucking one of the jokes yeah just there's completely

apropos of nothing in the special of just it's a cutaway to the audience Twix formally Twizzler and then I don't even get it right no but yeah this is cut to hard lap just like just an explosion out in the parking lot and

back into the comedy club yeah the oh so uh work of media there was a study apparently by penn state university it was a four-year study about the spotted lanternfly which was yeah positioned as a devastating invasive insect to crops in the uh in the united states and the study found that most trees fully recovered from even the worst case scenario of infestations that's what the study said was a four-year study and then uh jeff mcdev wrote did a spotted lanternfly lead this study was uh was his tweet following that so it made me laugh yeah Yeah. A whole media campaign was put out to stomp and kill. Yeah.

Yeah, to stomp and kill. We've been talking about it. Yeah, and I was so confused. We put our listeners to work. We said, go find, like, make this your new full-time job. If you want your children to, if you want to survive, go out and stomp and kill those. They're like, dad, what is that, a lantern fly?

I would put their nests in between my legs. I'm sorry, go ahead. No, I was going to say, those are the ops now.

You guys. Yeah. Somebody's got to do it. Somebody's got to be that lantern fly. Oh, Jesus. Uh, miles.

Where can people find you? What's the work media? You've been enjoying. Uh, you find me, uh, on at miles of gray all over. I don't on Twitter,

formerly X and the rest of it. Also find us on our basketball podcast. Check out Matt Boosties. We got Matt Lieb on this week. And then also, what else? What else? What else? Obviously, 420 Day Fiance and The Good Thief.

A tweet that I'm liking is from at Enron Chairman. And it said, China is using TikTok to steal all of our data, the data, and posted this clip of a TikTok video where these women are tying a hot dog to their waist and trying to thrust it up in the air and catch it with their mouth. It's the dumbest shit. But I just love that idea where they're like,

they're trying to take our data. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're watching us try to fucking fling hot dogs into our mouth. That's right. Let's see. There's a bunch of like white man, math, man,

math, girl, math. Oh, yeah. And not DJSB said, what is white math? And,

uh, Pallavi Ganalan tweeted, putting your grandma in a home and rescuing a dog. Ah, yeah. Uh, Javi Ganalan tweeted, putting your grandma in a home and rescuing a dog. No! Which I... Yeah! Because we don't put them in homes. And then at JP Brammer tweeted, they should invent a stretch so big and so satisfying that I black out.

Wow. There are some stretches that I do. It's basically a flexing of my plumbers, of my upper, of my thighs. When I stand up from a long sit and I give those plumbers a stretch, straighten my legs and stretch those. Oh my God.

That's about as good as it gets for this mortal coil. It draws all the blood away from my brain and heart. It's great. Oh boy. Also B-I-H underscore W-E-E tweeted a photograph of the Phillies Pirates game. You know the Pirates logo is P. The Phillies logo is P. The score was 0-0 and he said it's poop night in baseball. The scoreboard spells poop.

I love it. What a treat. And somewhat appropriate to the team's playing. How are the Phils doing? Did they? Just clinched. Just clinched? Yeah, just clinched the first wild card, or a wild card.

Wow! Yes, they're in. Poop, baby. I follow the Phillies so closely when I'm home, staying with my dad. Like, every game is like, he's like, you know, I find out everything about them. We watch every game. And then I leave and I'm like, I have no idea what's happening with them anymore. Your whole opinion is just that window of three days of baseball just defines an entire

162 game season. And it's like, yeah, they're on a losing streak. They didn't win a single game all year. And it's like, no, they're killing it. Anyways, you can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien. You can find us on Twitter at Daily Zeitgeist. We're at The Daily Zeitgeist.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. Every great player needs a foil.

Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Listen to the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Elf Beauty, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. Hey, I'm Gianna Pradenti.
