Hello, the internet, and welcome to Season 204, Episode 2 of Your Daily Zeitgeist, a production of iHeartRadio. This is the podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness, and it's Tuesday, September 28th, 2021. My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a.

Ooh, baby, do you know what comes worth? Unvacked Siemens like gold to perverts. That is courtesy of the man, the myth, the man, Christy Yamaguchi, man. And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. I got no cum original. I got no cum original.

All vaccinated. No cum original. And that's a fucking OG track from 311. Cum original. But again, we can tell that clearly we can't get over the vaccine semen conspiracy theory in any of the aka's so uh yeah it long may it last this oh shout out to at device null uh eat the rich jefferson for that one yeah yeah did you say something about crypto there's like a crypto thing going well because remember like that story came out because of like everyone's like idea of crypto and like the sentiment of getting rich very quickly was like one of the big things fueling people.

Oh, right. It was going to be the new crypto because I was confused by Christy. I'm Gucci man. Brilliant as always. But it's his AKA today suggests that unvaccinated semen is being collected by perverts, not just people who are hoping to use it to repopulate the earth after we all die. Not just people who have their head in the financial markets. Right. Exactly.

Well, Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat. They're quickly becoming one of the favorite regulars on this podcast. They're the brilliant and talented poet and podcaster behind the Fascinating American Hysteria podcast. Please welcome the brilliant, the talented Chelsea Weber-Smith. You are too kind, Jack. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

I'm so happy to be here as always. Always so happy to have you. Yeah, yeah. I think I've said this before, but when I see that you are the guest i have a little not nothing against other guests but i'm just like hell yeah you know i'm gonna bring you the weirdest facts you didn't know before that's right let's talk hysteria baby yeah yeah uh it's a good time all right Chelsea, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, a few of the things we're talking about. The unvaxxed have really taken over the zeitgeist.

We're going to talk about the hunt for jobs among the unvaxxed. We're going to talk about Sarasota, Florida, becoming kind of the conspiracy capital of the U.S. And part of the reason that Sarasota is so hot right now among the conspiracy theorists is Michael Flynn lives there. So we're going to check in with one of his misunderstandings of a story that we recently covered. We're going to talk about how power protects itself.

We're going to talk about how power protects itself. We're going to talk about the fact that employers are finally realizing or finally admitting that drug testing is dumb. And we are going to look at the real motive behind all those celebrity themed fast food meals. It's all of that. Not to give the fans something they love and enjoy? I mean, you know, a true capitalist would argue that that is, you know, the goal behind everything. But, you know, we're just trying to delight our consumers. Yeah, in public and then in private, they're like, fuck those consumers. Trying to do something else.

Gimme, gimme that data. Gimme that sweet data. All right. Gimme, gimme that data. Gimme that sweet data. All right. But before we get to that, Chelsea, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history?

Oh, this is a fun one. So our show is coming back in October, so we wanted to start on a Halloween note. And so do you guys know, I'm sure you know, a little bit about extreme haunted houses yes okay just let broadly let people know what an extreme haunted yes i will so because i've that's for we love haunted houses around here for the real heads like a love a haunted house you have a haunted house but you hate a jump scare yeah it's really surprising yeah i go when i walk to a haunted house it's like my

adrenaline's so up like i act like i just walked into prison the first day and i'm like what's up i know that's gonna move it did pretty soon they're all hiding from you yeah yeah and it's like no one wants to do it with me they're like dude like you don't have you sound you actually seem really uncomfortable in here i'm like no man i'm good man what's the next one it's most comfortable i've ever been because i know that's somebody under that sheet i went through a haunted house last let's see it was right before the pandemic so the halloween before and uh we i went with my girlfriend who's very scared of haunted houses and of course it was just her and i you know when you have a group you've kind of got this like layer of protection but but if it's just two people like they're, they're on you. And, uh,

she had to exit the haunted house into like the special cast area where injured people go to sit on hay bales and wait for, you know, someone to take them out. Uh, and I finished it and I came back out and then there was a second haunted house and I decided to go through alone because I'd paid and I wanted this was a clown themed one I wasn't going to not go I decided not to go through alone because I thought I would creep out the actual workers inside like this fucked up person going through yeah going through alone um but uh that's what's really horrifying I glomped on to some high schoolers and i was like can i go through they were very nice you gotta be in the front yeah they were and i was like great uh i can go they don't really uh they don't really faze me too much

but an extreme haunted house i would not do um and the premise of those is that they can do shit like you sign a waiver they can waterboard you they can shove disgusting shit in your mouth they can you know assault you put bags over your head drag you into another room you know you might leave with bruises bloodied you know they can put your head in a cage and put like a fucking spider in there. You know, it's like very extreme. You know, fun shit. You know, super fun. Like it does border on what appears to be some kind of fetish scenario.

But it's like very, you know, people who are into them will say that it's not the case. But it's hard to sort of divorce some of the images that you see. The real money that they make on those. Yeah, the real. The real money that they make really yeah the real the real money that they make on those is from the uh you know rich guys masturbating behind a two two-way mirror well you know all of those things yeah you know jack apparently mckamey manor uh takes their video

and projects that over into las vegas where people are paying money to decide what happens to these people okay but this is fucking bullshit of course this isn't true source thing like yeah like there are rich you know mysterious shrouded elitists in las vegas who are you know kind of like a snuff film type crowd who are paying money to kind of decide or watch you know what happens to these these people but it's not true you know what what's so the coolest part about these haunted houses is that the waiver is total bullshit the you know you can't have a waiver that says you can die in this haunted house you know yeah and it's like and you can die in this haunted house. And I'm still with it. Yeah, and it's like, and you can sign it, but that does not protect these people

from legal consequences. It's just not, it's not true. So, so much what I'm trying to do right now and what we do on the show is kind of separate fact from fiction, right? And it does seem that a lot of these haunted houses are a lot of smoke and mirrors and that a lot of what is making money for these folks are their

video walkthroughs on youtube they get millions and millions and millions of watches because they mckamey manor is free you just have to bring a donation of dog food and so you know you has this mystique of like the guy who runs at russ mckamey and all the people who work there they're not being paid which adds this other layer right where it like, they have to want to do this shit, but it's all kind of like, it's, it's just like, there are these fake documentaries that are made and put up. There's these fake testimonials. It seems it's so hard to pick out fact from fiction. I'm going deep into like these interviews with his fucking ex-wife and like these really janky little YouTube accounts that are like exposing the manor.

And it's so full of outrage because so many people are so outraged, right? There's a whole petition to get it taken down. It may be possible that the petition was created by McKamey Manor, you know, so it's sort of this like amazing, like Blair Witchian tactics to to make this place. And, you know, they say there's like a 20 or 40 thousand person waiting list, which is also not true. You know, so there's it's really a fun kind of project to take these haunted houses and dissect just what is is a hoax, because there's also an example of somebody I can't remember who it was, some internet famous TikTok or something personality who went and filmed their experience.

And it was basically just like crawling around with a blindfold on in a backyard with someone yelling, you know, horrible things at you. And that was really, and you're blindfolded and being sprayed with water. You don't really know where you are. That's terrifying. But you know, it's not the same thing as what we're seeing in the videos um so that's really uh that's a my search history has been lately this is the um the this one started in san diego right yep mccain yeah okay so i remember in the early years of it like i remember seeing like the videos they would put out because

i remember like back when stumble upon was a huge plug-in for people's browsers like just show me some random shit remember that i haven't thought of stumble upon in a decade yo that shit used to take me all over the fucking internet and i remember coming across a video of it and it was truly like you had never seen anything like it like people were just like vomiting yeah choking and you're like oh shit and you're like and it's like the most extreme haunted house i didn't realize that it had still been evolving past like that sort of initial i don't know yeah they'll be like you know veterans of war that are just weeping for their mothers that was like the whole thing all those videos videos were like, dude, it made this Navy SEAL poop himself.

Yeah, exactly. And it's so hard to pick apart what's real and what's not, which is really fun. The Blackout Experiments is another, is a documentary from 2016 that's really good about a bunch of people kind of grappling with their relationship and addiction to these places, which is a great example of also sort of not being able

to figure out how much of the documentary is manufactured. Right. Yeah. There's all sorts of ways that we manufacture ways to get contact with other people. I know. I feel like this might be one where people, instead of living in tight-knit communities

where you hold hands when you pray or whatever people used to do, now they go to have people jump out and tackle them just to feel a human touch. Did you see that story about a guy who, at a haunted house over the weekend? He stabbed a little boy in the foot on accident? No. Well, I guess I'll have to work that in. He somehow had a knife, and then I guess something happened, and this person ended up hitting this kid in the foot with his knife. So was he working there, or was he going through it?

I believe it's one one of the characters. Uh oh. He can't have a real knife. Yeah and I think what they said he was scraping the knife on the ground and playing around them and my son said to him I'm not afraid your knife is fake. So the man was like oh it's real. Trust me it's real. And that's when he

started poking it at his feet multiple times until he stabbed him. And that's when he started poking it at his feet multiple times until he stabbed him. And this is definitely true? Yeah. Or it's like a daily mail. Okay, all right. Yeah, it's being, I mean, unless the report is fake. Amazon propaganda.

Because you know part of it is to get people so interested and think like, now they're going to go. Because that whole Nathan For You episode was about, the challenge was creating a haunted house so scary that you get sued was like a point in order to generate interest and so it could be along those lines but it is along those lines I bet yeah this person was given a prop yeah he thought was a prop and it was a really real bladed it's a fantastic example too of how shit gets repeated because like you go to the Wikipedia page or any news outlet and it just repeats what russ mccamey says it says there's a 40 000 person waiting list and blah blah and it's

all just like you could just say something right it's a good example of that and people have tried to sue him because it's too scary i don't even know if it's like because everybody who comes out of it on the real walkout videos is like that was a lot of fun that was crazy you know they're not like i'm gonna sue you i'm i have ptsd because i was assaulted you know which is essentially like emergency like foil blankets exactly yeah people to end up like an action movie yes yep like rose dawson at the end of titanic right kelsey what is something you think is overrated well i think that it would be the rating system of rotten tomatoes and i'm gonna say i know i'm coming i'm just pissed because i love nine perfect

strangers did you guys watch this nicole kidman just finished it last night actually did you like it i did not like the directing of the last episode agree yeah absolutely but i i enjoyed the ride totally just the ending kind of like took a real hard turn suddenly and i was like maybe i didn't know what the fuck this was about but i thought i was on a different ride yeah yes yes yes and i bet we won't we're not allowed to talk about it i know we won't talk about spoilers but it was worth it it was worth the ride i had a great time i know miles that you appreciate a little bit of trash sprinkled into your life and i think it was a fantastic example of like great story the message was weird i don't care really about that but it got a 61 percent on Rotten Tomatoes i don't think that's fair it makes me angry because then i look back you know

and i'm sure i'm i wouldn't be surprised if this was a common knowledge for you guys, but The Birth of a Nation, that fantastic kind of KKK propaganda film that came out in the 20s. That has a Rotten Tomatoes score? Yeah, and you not want to know what it is? 93. 93%.

Because it's a revolution in filmmaking, okay? It's not about the content. Anyway, so that's my takedown today. Yeah. Sounds like a Confederate War Memorial argument. It's like it's not about the person, okay? Yeah, it's the spirit. That they were a person who stood up for their community against all odds

and decided to rebel anyway. Yeah, we know. Yeah, it's racist. All right, you got it. Yep, yep, yep. Rotten tomatoes. I just am often angry. I'm often angry.

What was, like, you know, because sometimes it'll, like, aggregate, like, sort of the top comments or review sort of, like, they'll extract certain... What was, like, the main gripe people had with it? Not to say, like, I'm like, whatever. Think whatever you want of the show.

Yeah, I mean, my God, it's a television show. If there was a theme to what they're criticizing. No, it was just say like i'm like whatever think whatever you want of the yeah i mean it's a television show if there was a theme to what the no it was just a lot of like it was bad like it her wig was bad you know that it was boring which i found it to not be boring at all i don't know it was just kind of a typical it just i don't know i don't buy it i think that people just want like critics they just want to be snot-nosed sometimes, and they just can't take a little trash, man. The critics' consensus. A meandering mystery may muddle its impact, but strong performances across the board

from this eclectic ensemble mean Nine Perfect Strangers is never less than watchable. All right. That's all right. I don't fully disagree with that yeah yeah there you go what's something you think is underrated oh boy let's see um i'm gonna say the library i got to go back to the library in person finally after restrictions were lifted and i just got to sit there quietly in a quiet room with other, you know, different types of people. And I think it's like kind of like the last intimate public meeting space that's free to sit in for as long as you want. And, you know, if you're like someone who does research, you can be sitting there, you can come across a book,

you can find the book. It's right there. You know, you walk among the rows. It's just really lovely. It smells nice, like books. You know, I just, I think we just really need to appreciate the library more because I'm terrified that it will go away one day. You know, free internet.

I call it tangible Google. Yeah, you know, it's lovely. Really wonderful. It's so un-Americanican that it even exists that's what i'm saying it's like a communist yeah i know it is it's like oh it's just it's a beautiful thing and i'm just i am i'm very worried it'll disappear i at any moment library i ran into like someone from like my past who like was local and i was like of course you'd be at the library. I ran into someone from my past who was local, and I was like, of course you'd be at the library because this is where we go in the area

to use the internet if your shit goes down or just to get away for a second to read peacefully. Exactly. Yeah, you can only sit at a coffee shop for so long before you're an asshole, but you can sit at the library all day. You can only sit at a coffee shop for so long before you're an aspiring writer,

whereas at the library, you're an aspiring writer whereas at the library you're just you're researching stuff and i really love this the scent in there it's like one of the i think the most pleasant things for for me i think because i don't know what it is that old that old book smell yeah it's like book dust you can't beat it doesn't smell my dad had like inherited like an encyclopedia from his parents and shit there's like the encyclopedia at my house like growing up and you know that shit had all kinds of weird uh entries um as i look back on it but i remember i used to just like ban the pages because i'm like oh it's like that that musty book smell and my parents thought i was like so interested in books but

really i was just i was just sniffing the pages. It turns out the smell is something called creosote, a dark brown oil distilled from coal tar and used as wood preservative. It is a carcinogen. Cool. Great. Breathe it in, baby. Love it.

I actually don't know if that's true. So many things that were made back in the day were just like uh yeah we bound these pages with just actual liquid cancer oh what's the chemical exactly oh we just call it lc around here liquid cancer yeah i don't know when the gop comes for the library that's what they're going to use yeah your books are causing cancer yep yeah all right let's take a quick break and we will be right back i've been thinking about you i want you back in my life it's too late for that i have a proposal for you come up here and document my project all

you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.

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

There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm.

And the question has been asked with all these vaccine mandates going around, where are the poor unvaccinated going to work? Won't someone think of the children in the sense that they are acting like babies?

It's a hard world, you know? And the vaccine mandate further underlined for them just how outside of the rest of society they are. And it's like you see this all the time with all these movements, especially on the right. It's like, okay, let's just, we'll figure it out on our own, because we got each other. The market will save us. Exactly.

Robin Panacchia over at Wonkette did a deep dive, just kind of, she saw one anti-vax job site being promoted, and she's like, what what's the scene like over here and kind of looked at a few and you know i think at first i was like man i bet these places are just fucking humming with activity right now with like-minded employers looking to hire people with a catastrophic contrarian outlook on life and I think maybe this is just a match made in hell. Nope.

Turns out these things are fucking more stale than a bag of chips that had been open for three years. If you go to vaccine, free jobs.org, and I'm saying, I'm saying it like an ad, go to vaccine, free jobs.org.

According to last time, she looked, there was only one job listing on there. And it looked very suspicious because when you look on the job description, it's just doing that like lorem ipsum, like Latin placeholder shit. It's like job description. Ansolead, audium, offendit vim,

solum consulatu. And you're like, this is not, the fuck is this? This is not a job posting. This is beta test from the company in case people actually show up with job listings. Exactly. Seems like that's what they're working with there.

Or it's like a satanic spell of some kind. Right. I know, right. If you say the whole thing, you will bring Beezlebub from the depths to be your best friend. The sites are pretty scant. And there's like another one that's called Provision Jobs. scant and there's like another one that's called provision jobs they call themselves quote a site that will assist job seekers in their research of companies who are not mandating their employees take medical procedures as a condition of employment and they all kind of have this

same bend you go to their website no positions being listed none and you know the ones that do have jobs being posted they're like in places where you absolutely want the person being fucking vaccinated like a dental assistant or hygienist there's like this place they're even i'm just surprised that even this business has their full like business name on the thing because if i was going there i'd be like yo what the fuck are they talking about over in that office well you know so if unfortunately if you go to brightman dental in ironically corona california just know that they are looking for a general dentist who they don't care if they're vaccinated or not so are you seeing mostly these types of jobs where it's extra risky to not be vaccinated there's just been this dental one.

There was like a sales representative at like a place that was like not even like a company that seemed like real. And then other times there would be people posting themselves to be hired. And they're like, and ultimately, I'm looking to work with President Trump. And you're like, OK, but what skills do you have? It's like five, four. And I'm an army veteran. You're like, OK, what skills do you have it's like um five four and i'm an army veteran and you're like okay well um we'll get back to you um quickly there is one place i just want to show you that it's called red balloon and this guy who he had like he's like a really slick video to

promote his website and based on this video it looks like he has been watching way too many YouTube blogs from 2014 because this thing is like jump cutty to all hell. But hey, he's letting you know what Red Balloon is all about. I'm Andrew, the founder and CEO, and I'm excited you're here. I called this service Red Balloon because balloons help you fly, especially if you tie a ton of them to a lawn chair. A little bit dangerous, a lot bit fun, kind of like

looking for a new job. And Red, well, Tote Balloon just sounds like stupid. Keep moving. The mission of Red Balloon is to connect employers who still love freedom and want employees who love freedom to the millions of Americans now searching for jobs today, where they won't have to look over their shoulders

and constantly be worried about... Think of this as free speech employment matchmaking. Game changer, baby. And boy, do we need it. 80 million Americans say they are switching jobs this year, which is mind-boggling. For perspective, that's like California and Canada combined. Lot of people.

So why did we launch red balloon first i was anyway so this video goes on for another two minutes and what's his last name is it crap something it was like crapshoot it really i'm i'm serious it looks like crapshoot it's spelled C-R-A-P-U-C-H-E-T-T-E-S Crapuchet Crapuchets Crapuchets Crapuchets Crapuchets

Andy come on son we gotta sort that name out look I'm not in the business of giving conservatives showbiz advice. You should consider a name change, kid. I mean, I do personally like the idea that if you want to be anti-vax, you should have to go to an anti-vax dentist. That seems fair to me. Same with the schools. You got to stand by that that it can't just be a

thing where you're like uh half-assing it and just making other people's lives dangerous you you need to be around the moment people are arriving at which is like well if i have to take my ball and go somewhere else they're taking their ball and they're going to this desolate playground where no one else is and they're like fuck man this place sucks right yeah i guess andrew crap poosh it's will give me a job as a mouth sneezer at a dentist's office yeah his name is definitely made up by a five-year-old trying to make fun of massachusetts i believe right like a New York kid who's got a vendetta against Massachusetts.

You mean crap-a-two-shits? Yeah. Crap-a-two-shits. That's actually pretty good. New York 10-year-olds, feel free to use it. It's our gift to you. All right, let's talk about Sarasota, Florida, which is, I don't know,

there was a pretty wild scene there last week. It was a big event where thousands of parents were able to get mask mandate waivers signed for their children by real doctors. general and QAnon icon, General Flynn, showed up with these guys who were in tactical gear and had long rifles with them, looked like they were ready to try and overthrow a YMCA or something. A library. Yeah. So Vice was pointing out that Sarasota, Florida, is actually becoming sort of the conspiracy capital of the U.S.

Charlie Kirk lives there. Flynn lives there. The Overstock CEO just bought six properties there. And Cyber Ninjas is located there. Cyber Ninjas. The great auditors of the election? Yeah. Cyber Ninjas?

Okay. So this is really, it's like what Austin is to comedy right now. Right, exactly. But Michael Flynn, I don't know. I feel like we might be underrating him as a threat just because he is a former general. He is walking around with an armed cadre of like-minded people.

He openly calls for the overthrow of the government. During the election and transition of power, he was actively saying they should just do a stupid coup like Trump was trying to push for. Now he is walking around in with like a small army who probably are very well trained i'm assuming that when you are a former general you have your kind of pick of operator types could you imagine they're all like the like the bummiest non-soldier types that are just like he's like unfortunately he's like fuck he's like there's no guys who like special forces or anything like that he's like, unfortunately, he's like, fuck. He's like, there's no guys who are like special forces or anything like that. He's like, I mean, this guy's cousin was in special forces. Fuck. All right.

I guess we'll take him. Our writer, JM, was pointing out Michael Flynn had a pretty compelling take on a story that we talked about last week. So we talked about the fact that a lab was trying to use the fact that there are like these mini factories and plants that are the chloroplasts so these brilliant scientists are like yeah it's we just thought you know they're like tiny solar powered factories that produce sugar and other molecules uh which allow the plant to grow what if we found a way to have them make desirable molecules and the big advantage of this is not that like they'd be able to serve it to you at a salad bar as much as it's an underrated and underreported problem with the vaccine is that it has to be stored at like a

unnaturally like super low temperature to maintain its effectiveness. And this would be able to be stored at, I think, closer to room temperature. So very cool idea. And Michael Flynn's take on it was, they're talking about putting the vaccine into salad dressing or salads. People are seriously thinking about how to impose their will on us and our society.

And it has to stop. Yeah. know he took this amazing where did the dressing part come from you know i think because there was a headline that you know the reason it was interesting is like you know vaccines in our lettuce right and then turned into, they're putting it in the dressing. You're going to make it delicious. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

That's, I didn't realize that he took that as they're putting it in the dressing. Yeah. That was one option that he gave for either, either the salad or the salad dressing. But I think that the idea of a plant manufacturing, the vaccine was like too good an idea for his brain to hold so he was just like nah get it out get it out of there they're just gonna you know shoot the vaccine

into a uh bottle of you know paul newman's uh italian dressing not paul not that liberal charity given um do you guys remember the urban legends from the 90s of like somebody leaving a hiv infected needle in the uh like your seats at the movie theater i feel like that shit's about to pick back up but like with vaccines like they're going to be hiding vaccines in different places to accidentally prick you right uh-huh yeah like the concerned aunt chain letters of old exactly that were like you gotta watch out also don't drink from a soda can yeah you'll die evil homosexuals yeah it was very afraid of although many people say uh yeah the soda cans are dirty as fuck on the top and i'm like right okay right, okay. Just give it a little rub. Just rub it with your shirt sleeve.

You're good. Put the inside of your shirts for it. Yeah. I mean, Flynn's whole thing is, you know, just like everybody, he's found a really easy job. You know, he didn't have to do the Pentagon to defense contractor or defense manufacturer sort of round, what is that, revolving door kind of thing where he'd have to

really use his connections. He can now just freestyle bullshit on the microphone and people are throwing money at him. You can just see it in how he just very quickly found his audience in the Q world

and was like, yep, I'm all in. Let me just wrap myself up in it. People just love his enthusiasm about it because all of these like all these guys they just all do these fucking speaking tours right yeah just get more and more fucking money there's really nothing there's never an outcome from these things that I think is actually satisfying to the people who are like you know really holding out for trump to be magically ushered in yeah just like a place for them to be with other like-minded people and see the people from your twitter feed in person yeah if you are looking for a place to catch covid uh the reawaken america tour is coming to a i don't know a meeting room near you. And the tour features not just Flynn, but a bunch of anti-vaxxer doctors.

The guy he was speaking to when he talked about the salad dressing thing is Clay Clark, a conservative radio host of the Thrive Time show who told a crowd at a rally in January to hug a stranger so they could turn it into a mass spreader event. So, you know, these are the people who he's surrounding himself with. I mean, it's interesting.

I was looking at some of the, I guess, the run of show for the Reawaken tour at one of their recent stops. And we're going to talk about this later on, but there's one right there. Homeschool and defund the swamp. Because that's definitely the new battleground that they're all looking at is school boards and homeschooling but yeah yeah this is uh they just they're taking it on the next one's gonna be in dallas or no san antonio then dallas and they call them health and freedom conferences they're kind of like revival tours or something like that right like the same energy right just

way way way way more dangerous um so uh just a quick story about facebook to follow up on the stories that we were talking about last week with the document dumps facebook has decided to amend its strategy of doing evil shit and then apologizing once caught to doing evil shit and then pretending they didn't do evil shit and the way they're going to do that is by manipulating people's news feeds to feature more pro-facebook news they're basically so they're doubling down on the thing that they have unprecedented power in um which is the ability to control minds via the news feed even for facebook this is like such a kind of shift into uh to the dark side people behind the scenes are like wait what the fuck are you talking about uh they've they've named it project amplify and that plan includes proposals

to elevate positive stories about facebook on users feeds including posts written by facebook itself so they're done with the whole, sorry, we fucked up, and we want to be good citizens, so we're going to change things. They're now going full dark side. We're going to change how you perceive things so it doesn't seem like we fucked up. What do you guys think these positive stories would look like? know it's so boring it's just like i don't feel like i just feel like it's something

i would completely gloss over just like right facebook like are they doing a charitable thing or is it you know it's gonna be a bunch of like yeah corporate posturing shit yeah like how politicians you know like to pat themselves on the back it's like like really nothing it's like well if you're gonna hear something about us it'll be a vague thing that's positive yeah because it's those wall street journal drops of like their internal stuff that's just been causing like just so many problems for them i think recently they said like okay we're gonna we're gonna put a hold on instagram for babies because everybody saw that we know how bad it is so we you got us there.

And then this week, like in the Atlantic, they make a very compelling point. They're calling Facebook the largest autocracy on earth and how it needs to be dealt with as such. You know, like they're developing their own money. They're clearly can get people to think a certain way if they start, you know, pulling levers and shit like that. It's interesting to see how this like evolution is going to occur because i think the next thing they have is some senate

hearing yeah uh i'm sure you're right that it's going to be boring and just like very big stuff it would be so great if he just went full kim jong-un and was just like like the news stories about about him that he's promoting or like that he he was the first person to ever hit a hole-in-one on a par 5. Sexiest man of America. Yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah. He's like, he surfed a 5,000-foot wave barefoot. Right.

I mean, like, oh, sick. Oh, my God. There's also a story about how the sheriff in um los angeles alex villanueva who via nueva who we've talked about before on the show because uh you know he presides over the incredibly corrupt violent white supremacist gang-ridden uh part of the leAPD that they have recently uncovered a task force of people across different units and regions of the LAPD that focus on people who are critical of Alex Villanueva. And again, it's just, it's that same, you know, Facebook uses the thing that they have that is like their superpower their unprecedented power is the ability to control what people think and see via their news feeds and

alex vianueva has like an unprecedentedly violent and corrupt police force under him so he creates a police force that will you know intimidate and uh fuck with people who are critical of them and that just seems to be how power kind of protects itself right go after anyone that's making our deeds clear as day to people right because that's the problem it's not we're doing anything wrong it's that people are revealing our actions and that's the issue that has to be solved it's like the cult model right it's like huh i don't know go on you send out negative information about your critics only positive information comes out about the leader you know it just seems like and then everybody's dedicated to like in a fervent way like it just kind of seems like we have many

cults all over the place all the time now. Maybe it's always been that way. Just strikes me as culty. Yeah. It really seems like it's social media that's led to it. Like I don't think it's always been that way. I think there used to be. I don't know. It's just social media has completely untethered us from reality.

Absolutely. All right. Let's take another quick break and we'll be right back. All right, let's take another quick break and we'll be right back. record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up?

And we're back. Employers are starting to realize that drug tests are dumb. It seems to be somewhat related to the fact that employers are somewhat desperate. to the fact that employers are somewhat desperate, not desperate enough to go on those red balloon websites or whatever the fuck to hire unvaccinated people, but desperate enough to do the right thing in this case. The labor shortage, it's not just here in the US, it's everywhere, you know,

because many people are like, hey, I think I want work that's rewarding and not a total abusive environment and it pays a living wage. I think I'm going to look for something like that. But many of like the wage jobs are not interested in providing things like a living wage or like worker protections and things like that. So we're just seeing a huge just, you know, what a surplus of job openings happening. you know, with a surplus of job openings happening. And many companies, they've just been struggling to fill these vacant job openings because essentially it's like they don't want to make things easier for workers

or pay them more and in turn make less money. So right now they say 69% of employers are reporting difficulty filling their roles that they have open. And like one of these people from this article was quoted, said overall the employment outlook is optimistic, particularly for employers that are prepared to adapt to a new world of work and offer incentives to attract and retain the talent they need.

Incentives, really, like what? And you look at some of the things, there's a staffing survey that was released a couple weeks ago saying that nine percent of more than 45 000 employers worldwide were eliminating job screenings or drug tests as an incentive right to attract and quote retain in-demand talent that's okay that's like in about 43 countries that represents and even amazon has like uh began to eliminate their drug tests for jobs that aren't like federally regulated and they say that their reasoning like many other companies is more like

well you know we're just observing local laws and things like marijuana and you know like in like recreational cannabis and we're just relaxing that part of the hiring process that was just sort of necessary but they also didn't they last week like start lobbying to try and get it legalized in more places yeah yeah because that's just more business yeah more business more people to hire plus they have those dystopian robots that'll yell at you if you're too high right now they're like hey you're hey bro eyes on the road everyone totally hates you dude are you sure you want to go you're going 25 in a 55 but like you know they even found like in but here's the thing like even in countries that don't have recreational drug laws and things like that or just you know the same sort of

these factors as like the like certain states like in the u.s they've also found that they need to end these tests. Like this guy in Australia was just saying like, quote, if we put a sign up, we would easily get 40 or 50 applicants. But if the sign says that you must submit to a drug, like to drug testing, it's down to four or five. So I think it's this sort of relic of racist hiring practices and things like that are starting to, they're starting to have a reckoning with it. Not, I don't think because they realize what it represents, but because they're clearly at this point where there's just, people are naturally withholding their labor for better outcomes.

And they're finding themselves like, no drug tests? What else before I have to pay more? Well, when you're smoking weed, it stays in your system for so long that people just can't... If you smoke weed once last month, it's going to come up and fuck you over. Do you guys remember what it was like trying to pass drug tests? Or your friends trying to pass

drug tests, like the shit people used to do? Oh, yeah. My favorite is... Remember when people would take niacin? Do you remember that shit? And it would just turn them bright red. And it would be this. I read recently that that doesn't work at all. And storing pee in the freezer and just figuring out how to.

It was such a thing to try to figure out how to beat that. Right. Bringing your own pee bag. Yeah. Of your friend's pee. Do your own version of the Solympics but it it wasn't happening and searching the like earlier internet to try to figure out like can they test my pee to figure out if it's someone else's pee where's that quora article please all right uh let's talk about, so there is a trend that we've seen,

I think mostly at McDonald's to this point, of celebrity branded meals. You know, we had Travis Scott, BTS, Weedie. And, you know, like this isn't anything completely new. The early 90s, McDonald's sold the Mick Jordan, which they claimed was what Michael Jordan likes on a burger, a customized quarter pounder, which I might believe that.

He apparently would eat pepperoni pizza right before a game. He just had an inhuman metabolism or something but these recent celebrity collaborations have apparently been a big hit to the point that burger kings now uh offering up their uh their own celebrity meals uh as part of a keep it real campaign celebrating how they're permanently banning 120 artificial ingredients from their food menu. Oh. Which is, I mean, that's...

That's a fucking lot. That is so many. Unfortunately, they haven't said what those artificial ingredients actually are. They're like, you guys will never go to Burger King if we don't know what the fuck they burger king we're getting rid of or which artificial ingredients it will continue to use they haven't 120 ingredients seems like it's too

much for any food like that's the marketing campaign should be less keep it real and more keep it pretty vague and still somewhat suspicious to be. But the celebrity part comes in because they are getting Nelly, Anita, and Little Huddy and they are naming them after... You don't know Little Huddy? I don't know who the Anita or Little Huddy is.

Who's Little Huddy? I don't know. Who is this guy? Chase Hudson? What is he? The idea is that they are using their real names so the nelly meal is called the cornell haynes jr meal and like the idea is the accused sexual assaulter it's really a strange why is nelly in a fucking in anything right now right it's our people okay i just okay cool yeah our writer jm was digging in a little bit to like kind of the corporate thinking behind all these celebrity tie-in meals and it's purely to hawk the mobile apps so i i didn't uh investigate any of the mcdonald's celebrity meals enough to like realize this but

you could get the j balvin meal but you could get the mcflurry for free uh but only if you use the app uh the travis scott meal was at one point only available through the app and the uh keep it real meals are uh as the celebrities mentioned the commercial only six dollars afforded through the app and the uh keep it real meals are uh as the celebrities mentioned the commercial only six dollars afforded through the app by someone with an account so wow like all those guidelines like you order it through the app and it has to be your account we will check the account if you get there otherwise we will throw away your cornell haynes jr first of all it cuts out third-party apps that you know food delivery services there we go cut them out let's go direct i see it will improve

profitability uh also leads to uh they found an increase in customer visits and spending rises by about 20 percent wow when technology is used to place an order. You know, the one food app I have is Wingstop, okay? Because that's just how I get down. It's quicker and it's pretty efficient. But I definitely fall victim to ordering, in many instances, through an app versus approaching a counter and telling a human being what I'm ordering. There's something about, there's this shit where it's like you're ordering something an app and you're

like that's all you're gonna get yeah that's it yeah like you're just gonna get that little meal like you could add another thing for a couple cents or whatever i'm like yeah actually yeah maybe i will do this option and augment my order somehow versus like if i ever went to like mcdonald's i'm just like yo give me my breakfast sandwich i'm out yeah right but now i'm like i guess i need three more hash browns it gives you like the ability to like go at your own pace you know there's no nervousness of human interaction so they can they give you have like a little more time right consider other options yeah yeah uh do you have a oh the breakfast is over uh okay uh i'll just have a

cup of water sorry i gotta go yeah exactly i'm sorry versus if you're in an app and it just said no breakfast you're like fine fucking seven cheeseburgers i can't go out empty-handed the other part of me also doesn't want to in my mind like the person working at the restaurant is judging me for just getting something small that's what i think it is it's fucked up that's what i think it is is that the judgment like because yeah i think there is inherently a assumption of like this is a guilty pleasure like nobody is of the opinion these days that fast food is like a healthy, sustainable, you know, option for feeding yourself. But by, first of all, removing all friction from the ordering process.

So it's just like another game you're playing on your phone. And also like just getting rid of the person who is, even if they're serving you with a smile and saying, have it your way, you're still like, this feels a little weird that I'm clearly by myself and getting two Whopper meals. Yeah, no shame on the app. Right.

And yeah, just data collection is the name of the game. I guess in the hopes that there's all kinds of tracking stuff built into the app that you're consenting to, essentially. Yeah. And then they also are able to collect all sorts of information based on the other things you use. They will be able to tell what other musicians you like enough to buy a meal based on them claiming that that's their meal. Oh, right. a meal based on right them claiming that's their meal oh right because they're like we found a huge overlap between mcdonald's customers and people who love the chronic 2001 exactly

and then suddenly it's like hey man you want you want to get that dray meal and then yeah the the old millennial in me is like wait there, there's a Dr. Dream meal? Yeah. Oh, okay. That would be interesting if we start seeing, you know, sponsored meals based around celebrities. You'd never, like the way that, you know, Netflix will green light these shows that are clearly like based on some Venn diagram in a Netflix executive's office. Like The Ranch, I think, was the best example of that.

The two and a half men meets George W. Bush. That's perfect. Perfect. Blocks right in. Do any of you have food apps? Even for a larf? Like delivery apps? Like a specific.

No, like one specific. I got Taco Time, but you guys might not know what taco time is no it's taco time taco time's like a really nice uh chain restaurant fast food that's only i think in washington and maybe oregon and they're you know they pay 15 an hour there's like pretty nice benefits for their employees it's kind of a nice fast food place i think and they use like local ingredients and all this time and it's good it's really good fresh american mexican food so you know it's uh it's kind of like uh taco bell but a little bit nicer so i use their app and i love them i don't wait so how do you how do you use an app like is? I just order and then I pick it up so I just can, like, walk in and grab my bag of food.

That's what I like. No judgment. Yeah, yeah. But sometimes I feel like. Excuse me, excuse me. You left your other bags. That's not mine. That's for someone else.

No way. Who would order that much? I gotta get out of here. Come back in with a different hat on. Big mustache. You're like, you're chelsea from earlier right yeah here just load up this wheelbarrow i gotta go just don't look at me just turn around oh it really does it looks like yeah like if taco bell grew up in a two-parent

household oh it's really well adjusted yeah like when i look at like the food makes me like oh wow like y'all talked at dinners huh yeah wow that's cool that's very nice taco time i hope you had i hope you had a good time with your parents meanwhile we're in taco bell living boss like some fucking miscreants oh man that's amazing food apps let us know the best ones i know because loft is all in on that duncan one i like that we're doing a story about how they're like just mining us for data and we're like hey let us know the best ones though let us know though what's cool though which one has like the best what works the best yeah i'm saying that there was a Miley Cyrus burrito. There was. I never heard about that, which feels shocking.

That one is... What is in that? I forget what was in it. It was also weird because they acted like it was a organic conversation struck up between Chipotle and Miley Cyrus. They shared a short video of someone holding up a wrapped burrito with the name Miley, along with the words, if Miley Cyrus comments, we'll make a Miley burrito in our app.

And then Miley Cyrus commented, only if you name it, the guac is extra, but so is Miley burrito. And they were like, oh, she she commented that's so wild what a organic unplanned moment now we have a mile just ride last night on the deal yeah anyways it's embarrassing the Miley burritos really really good though guys alright well that is going to do it Chelsea as always such a pleasure having you on the show where can people find you
