She's like, hey, could you stop asking me that? Did Jack forget? What's the matter, Jack forgot? Anyways, Zara, it is wonderful. It's so good to be here. Thrilled to have you back. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we are going to tell the listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. One of the things we're talking about is we were fucking right about Walgreens and their

quote unquote shoplifting problem. I mean, we knew we were right, but it's just it's kind of gratifying that they have come out and been like, yeah, the Daily Zeitgeist was right, essentially, in their earnings call. And now the New York Times is coming back and being like, how? I just I can't believe it. But yeah, basically, in their earnings call, they were like, we spent too much money trying to stop shoplifting. There were only like five shoplifting cases. We caught them all on camera and like sent them directly to the local news and made it seem like we were constantly being bombarded by shoplifting wasn't true and yeah so now now we're correcting for that mistake and the new york times is like

well i never and now they're even quoting alec carrick katsanis yeah it's former guest alec carrick katsanis uh so we'll talk about that just do a you know a couple nice slow victory laps and uh we'll talk about how germany and the u.s are sending tanks to ukraine and you know what what the the stated logic of this is i'll do it if you do it that's legitimately what they're saying they're like well we we're doing it because they're doing it. Most war. That's most war. Yeah.

But it's, yeah, it's wild. Anyways, people are bottling and selling Splash Mountain Water. It's called Gatorade. No, it's a thing that they're doing on eBay. And you can buy a bottle of the blue Splash Mountain Water for $1,000. So that's cool. GoldenEye is coming back, despite or maybe because of the war in Ukraine.

So we'll talk about that. Plenty more. But before we get to any of that bullshit, Zara, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Search history was... Oh, well, some news. Huh?

I'm pregnant. What? What? Wow. Look at us. Look at us. Parents-to-be. The three of us now.

Yeah, I know. We're a family. We are a family. Congrats. Raise the skin. It's about your found family, but it's also about the family that you birth from your parents. That's such wonderful news, Zara. Thank you.

Thank you. Me and my class birds are hard at work. And I have been having so many nightmares. So my whole search history is just like, is my baby dead? How do I know if my baby's dead? Did kill my baby oh no maybe alive still yeah we were just talking about that like i was there's like a bit of advice i was going viral on the internet i was like what's a piece of it like what's something you don't think about when you become a parent and someone goes that you'll have to worry about them for the rest of your life god and it's never going to end. I will, like, I watched them sleep and I'm just like, what if they like forget to breathe though?

I'm terrified. Yeah. It's, it's very scary, but it's also like, you know, as bad as that is like the good stuff is that good. So like yesterday I felt her moving and i was so excited and i was telling everybody and i kept grabbing my husband's hand and holding it there and then i stopped feeling her moving and i was like crying at three o'clock in the morning she's dead i did something wrong it's me it's all me even though you know not to think that yeah and and then he goes honey i felt too bad to tell you yesterday she wasn't moving It was just your poop.

Yeah. Yeah. It's just your large intestine. Just being active. Yeah. Too early. Go back to sleep. The farts, though.

That's the cool part. You're just farting. Yeah. Just keep farting. Yeah. Just farting. But my farts were kicking. They were.

Something to write home about. What something uh you think is overrated condoms definitely just stop using them man can't believe you're pregnant it is so hard to get pregnant it took us it took us three years wow yeah okay we did a round of ivf that failed and then two weeks later we were one of those fortunate couples that it happened by accident wow and then i was mad because i wanted to like engineer fraternal twins and just like be done just get it all out i just want it it. I'm 42 years old, man. I don't want to keep doing this. It's hard work.

So you want two kids? We wanted a big family. I wanted like maybe six or seven. Some of them could be like a few interns. You know what I mean? Like Wu-Tang Clan. You got some satellite children. You need a Capadonna. Yeah, some Osm sure. Like Wu-Tang Clan. You got some satellite children. Yeah, a Jackson 5 or something. You need a Capadonna.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, some Osmonds, you know? You need the Killer Bees to put on an album. Get a few of them on some season of Succession or something. Right. Put them to work. Do you come from a big family? I do.

I have four kids in my family. In my mom's family, she has six. And in my grandma's family, there's 14. Oh, damn. Yeah, so you get lazy. Exactly. This is what my grandma says. Yeah.

So, good advice for everyone. You know, condoms overrated. Throw out your condoms. Just throw them out. Everybody. Everybody. Our young listeners, you know. No, that's not true.

But that is great. Congratulations. Thank you so much. IVF struggle is real. And then the word. Yeah, that's amazing. What is what's something you think is underrated? OK, hear me out.

Ear washes. Yes, we're talking about this. Ear wash. You need to go to the doctor's office. You get it done by a nurse or a tech. You don't need to see the doctor for it. You can get it done at any time. All you have to do is say, I can't hear.

I think it's stopped up. I think I've been using my Q-tip wrong and I need an ear wash it costs like 15 bucks in copay wow what's the process? they light some candles they put this little bowl next to your ear

and then yeah they play a Spotify soundtrack and they squirt water into your ear at an angle and it doesn't feel any different than like being in a shower and but it's like a warm water so that it melts the wax in your ear and then it washes all of the wax out of your ear and you will not believe you're hearing it is so wild wait so like you you felt like you are now hearing in like 4k this is what i'm saying 8k whoa okay okay because like you know you come out of the shower you're

all steamy your sinuses are all opened up and that's 4k but i'm talking 8k wow wow just like a targeted little jet of water is that what's going on there yeah basically a targeted little jet of water. Is that what's going on there? Yeah, basically. A targeted jet of warm water. Man. Anyway, so that's a thing you could just, that's an add-on at the doctor's office. Yeah, it's an add-on. It's also a way you can get pregnant, so just be careful. Yeah, you have some interesting theories. Before we started recording, you were explaining some interesting theories that you have about all the ways you can get pregnant.

I'm pretty sure I got pregnant because I swallowed. i think that's what happened but i told you don't the lord the lord knows the lord knows that's the best advice you have to listen to him yeah he did go to you know a catholic high school so that's where all the answers all the facts yep that's where i learned to split dog shit up into smaller pieces. This episode, we should probably just send directly to health teachers across America so they can just use the science contained therein. You guys, it's why I'm an activist. The ear cleaning varietals. Yes. We were talking about that before we started because i i'm just like a basic bitch

q-tip put it in there spin it around get that nice little like shimmy where i'm like basic bq shimmy yeah but my wife uh likes to get in she has like this hard tipped little like wax pick with a little camera on it. And her favorite thing to do in the world with our boys is just like get in there and clean. Just do a like, you know, a scientific like a precision cleaning of the inside of their ears. You guys can't see it, but Jack's doing sort of like a dome with his fingertips. Yeah. Yeah. A little dome. And I tried it once and I did not like it.

It was painful. Really? I cried. I cried for a week. What's the benefit? I don't know. It's not painful. Our kids like it. I grew up with a bamboo pick going in my ear, too. So it's a very different feeling than a Q-tip because it's cotton on.

And like this is like straight up just scraping or like canal, but not like in a bad way. It's just like it's just something you're not used to if you're wrapped in cotton swabs all the time. Yes. I like to be tickled. But Miles, yeah, you had the pick. Yeah, the pick. Yeah. What's the difference between the pick yeah the pick yeah what's the difference between the pick and the it's like i think well because like asian people's earwax is a little bit different than like other people like it's like a little bit more delicate like flaky than like waxy so

like the pick works for that although my mom she'd always be like oh man you got this like hybrid american earwax yeah that's what my one of my kids has my earwax and one of my kids has my wife's like kind of more asian earwax and it's uh yeah but she she goes in on both of them and it it works but it was also interesting for me to hear that your your mom was like looking down on the dumb way we clean our ears yeah do i have middle eastern earwax i don't know i mean i don't know is that a thing i don't know like that's just one thing i've heard being japanese and my mom looking at like all of her family's earwax and like my dad's and then mine he's like okay something's going on over here that's so intimate yeah right truly

get to know your partner's earwax. Do you have great hearing? Mm. You got to go get the earwash, man. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. Yeah, I would love that. And it's warm. It melted away. It's fantastic.

That sounds really nice. It sounds like something they should do at a spa instead of a doctor's office, you know? Yeah, but you kind of want somebody who's like, you know, at that right angle. Nah. I trust my spa with anything. You got to just lie. You got to just say, I need this.

It's like vitamin B shots. Everyone deserves them. Go get yours. Feel good. Right. Yeah, yeah. I have a deviated septum, Your Honor. Could you, you know.

Clean my ears. Could you clean out my ears? All right. Let's take a quick break. Should we? Yeah. Yeah, let's take a quick break. And then we'll be right back to brag about a news story that we got right and everyone else got wrong. Wow. Everyone, Miles. Okay, all right, all right, everybody. Everyone.

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

into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? I mean, the Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels. It's right here in black and white in print. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch is a leader. You choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot.

You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And okay, it wasn't everyone. But it was the New York Times. The New York Times got this wrong as fuck. A lot of fucking places.

These mainstream media sources that people just immediately trust. Have you seen their Trump coverage? They're liberal, okay? Yes, granted they're liberal. It's like, no, they're not. They are right of center. Anyways, so the shoplifting epidemic that was sweeping the nation,

one of the big people crying foul and actually crying wolf was Walgreens. I remember this being a big story before any of them kicked it off. Walgreens was like can barely keep the dang doors open in san francisco because what is shoplifting it's just it's just the wild west tearing this family apart it's yeah and it's like what everybody thought they're like so what's it like in california like you just don't have pay for stuff. You just walk in and smash and grab everything you want from a Walgreens.

Is that how California is now? I mean, as a shoplifter. Yeah. I mean, you could do that everywhere, though. It's not just California. Live free. Live free, sovereign consumer, as I call them. But yeah, there was this whole thing of like it's destroying the economy in San Francisco and like they have to close five stores because of a lack of law and order.

And this guy, the CFO, got on this call and he basically said they, quote, cried too much last year about the supposed problem. And they've and as a result, they've overspent on security to try and stop the non-existent bleed. And in fact, when you look at the numbers, they said things got better this last year for the company in terms of losses. They said the, as they call it, the rate of shrink, which is like loss due to theft, fraud, damages, mis-scanned items, et cetera, fell from 3.5% to around 2.5%,

which is not good by industry standards, as I've read. But we knew this, and we were saying this, along with many others that don't rely on the words of police and the C-suite of companies to shape their worldview. Like, and the thing that pisses me off is that the data was there. Like there was a San Francisco Chronicle article that was like, I mean, and other earnings calls, they talked about how just the cost of doing business in San Francisco is really fucking difficult because of the real estate costs and they expanded too quickly and they're kind of like and that also helped like make the decision that they were going to close some locations down so on top of it all like again all of this was like

there for most people to see and just say i don't i don't know if it's quite rising to this but we were just fed this steady stream of like videos of like people like shoplifting at pharmacies and you're like oh no what's going on and now like the places like cnn and the new york times are writing articles that are critical of walgreens and like oh my god crunching the numbers in their reporting to show the people that they were lying this whole time like what the damn straight fuck? Damn straight. I've been to those Walgreens. Do you know how hard it is to shoplift gum from there? It's impossible. Yeah. They have, like, cameras.

They have, like, metal detectors. They've got security guards everywhere. And then they have the mirrors all over the place. Right. The, um, also the shrinkage, like, they use this term that's,'s like lost from theft that or like I feel like I thought it was from George Costanza. Yeah, I thought it was from cold water. But I think the like they're always lumping it in with something else that is less sexy, but it is actually the thing that is causing them to lose more money.

Like I remember there was a Walmart story about this where they were like blaming theft for a huge loss of like inventory. But then people actually looked in and it's like more, more likely you're just bad at tracking your inventory. And also you're trying to replace clerks with all of these automated self-checkouts and people are inadvertently not paying for things or just like conveniently forgetting to scan something. Yes. For me, it's inadvertent and convenient. And they're not, you know, they just don't want to admit that because they just it's a it's a cost saving thing that they knew was going to be a problem they just it's a it's a cost-saving thing that they knew

was going to be a problem coming into it but because the media because these mainstream media outlets were so gullible and so just willing to you know be credulous that like yes theft is out of control the poors are coming and they've they're breaking down the doors and stealing all our stuff. Oh, the poor little billionaires. They have to worry about the great big poors. It's the same reason that they love those doorbuster sales where everyone's pushing each other out of the way to get the flat screen TVs. It's like, look at these like poor consumers. You know, they love a zombie movie.

The local news, the mainstream media, they love to make it seem like the poor people are out of control. We're hungry masses coming in tsunami waves with our claspers ready for your common candy. To take your detergent and Tide Pods and other things. But yeah, it's just all self-created.

The thing that really fucking takes my, like, blows my mind is that they actually quoted Alec Karakatsanis in the New York Times. Like, he's been going fucking head-to-head on Twitter like every time they post one of these dumb crime wave pieces and now they want to fucking hit him up for a quote about the media's

lack of like uh attention on this or just like kind of going you know really casually along with the narratives that were being put out by these companies and the police like come on he's surgically disassembled every one of these articles that you have like published like in real time you publish it a an hour later he has explained like what okay so this quote is from a cop this quote is from the better business bureau in your city like this quote is just pulled from a walgreens earnings call where it was like conveniently lumped in with this other thing that you're losing money on and just like he told you in real time that this was bullshit and now all of a sudden you're i mean i'm glad they're coming

around to the reality of their fucked up reporting but i'm i'm sure that's that's not how they're going to you know portray it or even like perceive it yeah it's yeah again i mean this is all again like you're saying all of the policy or political points that were scored with getting the media lockstep with this narrative was basically to push back against a lot of the progressive DAs. Like, Chesa Boudin in San Francisco was ran out on a rail because of precisely this narrative of like, and there's no fucking nothing in San Francisco. Get them out. But you look at the primaries and what happened in November,

a lot more progressive DAs got elected. Right. Oh. So it's like this, you know, you just, you can kind of, it's always, you know, just you can kind of you it's always you know it's it's when these these stories come out you're like oh of course you're all everyone you're all working together because it's the same ain't yeah this is like a real law and order episode now right we need like the yeah like in the in may of 2021 uh california today new york times san francisco

shoplifting surge. They got a picture of Walgreens. Walgreens has closed stores in San Francisco because of shoplifting. Is your fucking sub headline on the front image? And now you're like, wow, what happened? Man, shut the, get the fuck out of here. And that's also your best picture. If like hordes of shoplifters are invading Walgreens,

your best picture is just like a clothes store. Yeah. Just the exterior of one. And so where, where are all the poor zombies? Right. It's just really anyway. So well done.

The New York times and CNN and others that breathlessly just paraded this on. And then now you're like, Ooh, that guy was just talking bullshit. How it And then now you're like, oh, that guy was talking bullshit. How it turns out. Yeah. You fell for it. They only caught the like five times I've done it.

Yeah. I mean, nobody checks anymore. I wonder if the if it was a bad strategy for them to. I mean, I don't know what their other option was, but their strategy really seemed to be like california is a socialist failed state that has you know the socialist da's have lost the city and so everybody elsewhere in the country is like man california is really like gone to shit and you know we're fine here it turns out and oh not not my progressive d like that because everybody seems to be voting progressive when it comes to yes or not everybody but at least the people who vote so they love doing that with

california period right like we have wildfires and they're like it's because of all the gays rubbing claspers that's california they're terrible and it's god's hand yeah i mean it's like no actually our money's all being funneled into the midwest and that's why we have no infrastructure i mean look at where i think what it like you're saying it helps to have this like boogeyman to point to it like you know i always use the metaphor of the m night shawmalan movie the village to be like you don't want to go out there yeah it's all fucking weird and spooky like you'd never, you couldn't

even fucking fathom. Oh my god, don't tell me the ending, Miles. Don't tell me the ending. I didn't tell you the ending. I didn't tell you the ending. But a plane flies overhead and that kind of fucked it all up. Anyway, all that to say, you know, we're, we help fulfill that sort of myth for

a lot of the conservative myth makers who want to, you know, do everything they can to be like, no, progress is so fucked up and bad. Like it leads to Walgreens closing because they actually aggressively expanded and relied on not paying like proper wages and automation. Do I get that right? But truly, it is bad out here. So don't move out here. Don't move to Los Angeles, especially. Stay where you're at. Traffic's fucking horrible.

No, that's that's real. It got worse. I know. that's why i'm telling them to fuck off it got worse and this this is the worst it's ever been i feel like traffic i don't know what the fuck is happening back from the holiday it's it's bad i've tried to go to that uh fucking griffith park observatory like three times and every time it's like a fucking it's like space mountain you might get three hour line yeah you'd have to like park by the studio in hollywood yeah even get close to walking up the hill that's why you got to come to modesto nobody goes anywhere i know it's it's so dumb that to like keep going to the same place that is that you know just as beautiful as like 20 other things all i need to do i ended up just

finding a bunch of other better parks and take them up to the mount wilson observatory man hey so anyways fuck you griffith park observatory i don't need you anyways so the german germany and the u.s are sending tanks to ukraine this was a big will they won't they for a while. And in Germany, there was a lot of like send the tanks became a talking point. But Germany from the jump was like, we won't send it unless the U.S. sends it. And the U.S. is like, we're not sending it. And then suddenly you do it. They decided to both jump in the pool at the same time

holding hands it's you know i'm not i'm not a security expert in this but coming out and saying our rationale is i'll do it if you do it like that is fundamentally like we we've all agreed that peer pressure and doing something because someone else did something is bad. That's never been an acceptable reason to do something. off hundreds of thousands of people and it seems to be completely contagion of idea like them just being like well something we wanted to do because we're right you know it's gonna look good more money actually well if everyone's yeah we can't we can't also show a little bump in the numbers by cutting our costs right yeah so and then with this that seems seems like, I don't know, it's a pretty these are two of the world's most powerful economies. And they're openly sending arms into a battle that is the possibility to devolve into World War Three. And they're like, yeah, I don't know. Like, our our decision is based on whether the other guy does it. And like if he does it, then we're cool, too. Which seems. Yeah.

I mean, there's suicide pack reasoning. I mean, there's there's so many reasons why this is this whole conflict is like fucking a lot of things up while also making a lot of people rich. You know, like the UK and the US, they both want Ukraine to be Russia's Afghanistan part two. No way. Right. Yeah, exactly. Because they want they want Russia there. Yeah.

They want them to drain. They just say, let them bleed slow by having a fucking infinite war. Or maybe they end up crippling their own economy from trying to win a war that, you know, we're, you know, we're helping fight by proxy. And I think that's, that's one of the reasons there's zero mention from the UK or the US that's anything aside from military aid. They're like, nah, nah, nah. And then another factor, which is the obvious, the military industrial complex and the gas industries, like they're booming right now. Sending tanks and sending shit means we're spending money to send it there, meaning we are putting money in the pockets of the defense manufacturers

they fucking love this they would love nothing more for like the main sort of take on this is like infinite weapons infinite weapons infinite weapons and then the gas part is because Russian gas is sanctioned now fracked American natural gas is at a fucking premium

what do you know and now everybody's like oh shit buy our fucking gas baby American natural gas is at a fucking premium. What do you know? And now everybody's like, oh shit. Buy our fucking gas, baby. I've also been paying attention to what's happening with Iran while this is going on. Because Russia has such a strong hold on Iran, but notice while Russia

has been busy, so has Iran been busy. Yeah, exactly. And we're finally seeing some reform in Iran, who, you know, reform in the Middle East usually winds up turning into, you know, Libya. Sure. Hey, speaking of Western intervention in Libya. You know what I mean? And this is the thing, right? Like, that's another.

I'll get to that part. Western intervention has a terrible track record. Has a terrible track record. Pumping weapons into a place. I don't know know miss give let them fucking do something with it you know like that all pretty much a recipe for those weapons will enter the wrong hands or get on the black market and you're and you're going to create another problem down the line because of the short-sightedness of this like policy and like the other what do you know lead to more war yeah exactly and you look at like the far right in ukraine and how much of an influence they even

have on like zelinsky one of the reasons he is having to take a hard line about being like well i'm not going to negotiate with the russians is because that's like a hard line for a lot of the like the far right in ukraine and they're influential so to to negotiate with russia could could be a very bad look for him so that's why it's like this like no we can't we can't negotiate we're doing this on the other but he's also said too it would help if like some more western allies came to help negotiate some shit because we certainly don't want to keep fighting forever yo and the u.s is like all right fine here are some tanks fine here's some drones here's some fucking more missiles or whatever but again not to say that the the the solution here is to ignore

the situation in ukraine but this like well-worn idea that we need to send our american bang bangs to save the people it just needs to end that shit doesn't work it ends disastrously and it ends up making shit worse for the people that are there in the long run. And there were plenty of non-military options on the table. Like, I understand that you look at the situation and the smaller nation is being basically transgressed by a larger, more powerful one with like, you know, with an autocrat at the head of it and things like that. like that but there are there were ways many economists are like yeah man if you fucking really cut the russian elite off from their money they're probably gonna end up turning on putin that will create a situation but everything we've seen has been so like like with kid gloves they're not going that's weird all the way because again i think a lot of western countries are afraid of the boomerang effect of like well if we start tightening the screws on these people and their that, that's that's some exposure for the elite in this country because maybe we're helping them hold it. So we're in this fucking weird situation where it's like, what are we doing?

Because there are ways to address this, like in a way that is we're looking at all of the all of the levers that can be pulled to create pressure, to kind of create a more peaceful situation. But I think at the end of the day, it's not simple. And we really are doing a disservice to ourselves by not considering what the long-term effects are of just pushing more weapons there and escalating a situation that what happens if shit gets so bad, right? And then a Republican ends up becoming president. They're like, yeah, fuck it, bro.

I'll turn up on World War III. I don't give a fuck. It might help the economy. Not to mention that, like, just fundamentally our planet can't handle the carbon footprint of war. Yeah. You know?

Like, let's just dismiss that. We've been one of these Abrams tanks that uses fucking jet fuel. Or the German tanks Leopard 2, which sounds like a Mac operating system. Oh, yeah. When they named them, there was Leopard. Oh, it's Leopard 2, which sounds like a Mac operating system. Oh, yeah. When they named them, there was Leopard. OSX Leopard.

I remember those when they're all cat-based. Did it shift all your system's preferences to the list instead of the icons? Yeah, everything just breaks down. But the question that you posed, what are we doing? The answer almost always is whatever is going to make the most money

like that that is seen as the correct for who course of action right and money for who for the yeah if the elite are able to extract moral wealth and resources from this because that shit's not trickling down like health care costs are going up my prescriptions have all gone from a copay of 50 to a copay of 100. Yeah. Right. And gas is still, you know, 450 and above. Right. Yeah. And hey, but the people that are in charge of that, they're doing well. So they are doing fine.

And it's why we need to swarm the Walgreens. Yeah. Thank you. And steal all the gum. The only way to get them. But yeah just it's just kind of a thing like i think it's interesting when you read a lot of like news around it too there's always like the solution is just like well they just need more weapons they need as many weapons as possible and i get i understand that that initial like urge you're like yeah let's help they don't man yo we got

look at all this shit we we have all these weapons because kids don't have health care might as well do maybe we can get some good out of it but at the end of the day we do you're like it's at our own peril that we ignore all the history that is there yeah is there a history between russia and germany yeah yeah they're just coming up on the anniversary of the of stalingrad and that's a huge thing issue too that a lot of congratulations party or something but that's a huge thing that german people are also mindful of is like their history of like looking at like aggressors what that looks like in the context of like russian german relations they they clearly also want to be able to find a way to say like, well, what are you going to do?

Just like turn Russia into a hermit nation. Like there's still people there that like our people and like they're going to suffer. But is there a way to like try and make this work without fully, you know, ceding to Vladimir Putin or whatever? Again, that's why this shit is so, so complex. But at the end of the day, most lines lead back to someone's making money. And that's why it helps to have this conflict continue. It really seems like it is the story the New York Times has been waiting for. And every day, like it's the number one top headline. And it's always just breathlessly reporting about like, like now the Biden announces 31 Abrams tanks for Ukraine, but says the move is not meant to escalate the war.

And I don't know. That's just. Also, these specific tanks, the Pentagon was specifically saying, like, oh, that's a terrible idea because, yeah, Miles, like you said, they run on jet fuel and this is a war that is being fought in a place with very tenuous supply lines. So you need a place with like open supply lines. It would be very easy to just completely cut these off from any fuel source. So we won't be sending those. And now they're like, yeah, I guess we will be because I don't know someone's gonna pay for it we're good yeah i mean there's like apparently can run on all kinds of fuel sources hey military tank operators i can let

us know exactly what's going on there but again they're like that's the other thing a lot of germans are saying too it's like they said yes but like it could take a long time for their shit to even reach the front. Yeah. And then we're already putting it in there. So they're like, are they really actually going to be is the U.S. really sending their tanks? And it's just a very, you know, it's it's a very delicate situation. But the long term effects are like we never consider when we get into this mood in this country. Yeah. On this country. Yeah.

On this planet. Yeah, yeah. Long term effects, what are those? Right. Yeah, send the things that, yeah, send more of these like fucking carbon emitting war machines over there. What the hell, man? Let's double up on the fucked up part. Well, we're like

waiting for a coral to produce its own sunscreen. Right, exactly. Within its DNA. California just had a tornado. We had a literal tornado here. Really? Yeah.

In California? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I live in the Central Valley now and I had an actual, I'll send it to you, I had an actual tornado alert at 4 a.m.

Oh my God. How was that? Was it, I'll send it to you, I had an actual tornado alert at 4 a.m. How was that? I'm guessing it was okay? Oh, I'm a Californian, so it was phenomenal. I was so excited. I couldn't believe I got picked. I just felt so flattered by the weather. Damn. That is something that I've had to promise my kids

doesn't happen here. Tornado? Yeah. Half of my conversations with my kids are't happen here so tornado yeah half half of my conversations with my kids are like okay so like how big would a tsunami be that was like coming down the street and what like a flash flood could a flash flood happen here could a flash flood happen here could a flash flood happen here just say no you know don't even bother explaining i remember my mom was like man you know fuck it i remember like when i was a kid they were like there was really bad flooding one year and like in Riverside, California,

but I lived off a street called Riverside. And I was like, is that there? Like, and my mom was like, nah, that's like way somewhere else. And I was like,

can that happen? It's like, nah, the shit like that will never happen. She always got me to be like, yeah, it happened. It happened here.

Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network. You thought you had fun last season? Well, you were right. And you should tune in today for new fun segments like Sister Court and listening to Lacey's steamy DMs. We've got new and exciting guests like Michael Beach, that's my husband, Daphne

Spring, Daniel Thrasher, Peppermint, Morgan Jay, and more. You gotta watch us. No, you mean you have to listen to us. I mean, you can still watch us, but you gotta listen. Like, if you're watching us, you have to tell us. Like, if you're out the window, you have to say, hey, I'm watching you outside of the window. Just, you know what, listen to the Amber and Lacey,

Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and there is a hot market right now for a very specific type of water that people are thirsting for. Voss?

No, it's actually Splash Mountain. Oh, Splush Montagne. Splash Montagne. Oh, of course. Is it alkaline? No, unfortunately. And that's a bit of a myth is what they say at disney world they're real particular like don't buy into that alkalized life crap but we talked about the splash mountain

craze that reached like fever pitch on sunday because disney world is like they're running the log flume for like the last time before they revamp it to be like 50 less racist and this had many sick people crying over this woke change. So they did everything they could to see the shitty animatronics one last time. But I guess the water's a prize. Now, I believe this is a scam now that like people who are really clever are saying, I bet these fucking people would buy some shit if you told them it was Splash Mountain Water. Because on the takeout, they did a search for Splash Mountain Water.

There were 80 eBay listings at the time of that. The article came out and they said most auctions are around 20 bucks. Some are saying you can get a buy it now for $635. What? What is this? The 90s? That makes sense because you might need that Splash Mountain Water fast. Yeah.

So it makes sense that they're putting a premium on quick turnaround. And like all of the listing pictures are identical too. So it's like, okay, is this like one seller or multiple people? Then there's another listing that the bottle comes with a certificate of authenticity. And the water looks like it's slightly more blue colored and $1,000. So maybe legit. Oh, I have to get on eBay I gotta get that shit I mean but what's like

the like to a person who's like I gotta have the water it's gonna be the same fucking water right it's not like the waters got the racism in it and you're like I got the last bottle of racist mountain water like I don't understand

the value really because it seems like even if you were that into it how the fuck you improve it and also anybody could finesse you if it's if they're really just selling you a bottle of water how frequently do we think they're swishing that water out also the splash mountain water it's from what i've read because i started to i wanted to understand like what is going on with the water like at the rides they say like it's not purified or filtered but they do like put a bunch of chemicals in it but you can smell so yeah i do yeah it's like extra extra chlorinated or something yeah oh it's got to be so heavily chlorinated or something. It's got to be so heavily chlorinated.

Isn't there a joke in The Simpsons where they go on the It's a Small World ride and drink the water and start tripping? Yeah, exactly. It's so chlorinated. It's so chemically processed. I put all my fingers and toes in there. Come on.

We all do, right? That's what we do. You got to touch it. Keep your hands inside. Yeah. We all do, right? That's what we do. Yeah, you gotta touch it. At least once. Because they tell you not to. Yeah, exactly. It's a fun little game we play. There's been another thing, too, where someone was like, oh, they snagged water from Pirates of the

Caribbean and then cooked with it. Took the bottle home and then made food with it. Did they say why they did this? That's probably how they got pregnant. Exactly. I didn't want to say that, but you know that's exactly what happened.

Three days later, I gave birth to a baby that was dressed like Captain Jack Sparrow. Out of my ears. I'd imagine that's probably a bit, but then other people are like, well, it's boiled. It's fine. Probably fine.

You're like, those are the same people that drink their pee. Yeah, I know. Right. It's, it's basically, what do they always say? It's sterile. Yeah, sterile. So. It's sterile.

So is toilet water. Yeah, drink up your pee. I mean, do whatever you want. I'm not, just miss me with your racist, like, relic water that you're so, like, hopped up on. But, yeah, I mean, that poor woman, she named her daughter Briar, and forever will be an obscure name

because Splash Mountain is on her name. No one will ever use the word again. All right, GoldenEye, coming back, despite or maybe because of the war in Ukraine. Wait, what? How? So this is a very complicated story. So the Nintendo 64 game, GoldenEye,

there's been rumors that it was going to come back. There was actually a YouTube video that was leaked that was supposedly a remastered edition. And people at first were like, that's just like a fan account or like a fan hack where they you know re remade it but the more people looked into it the more they were like actually no this looks like it was a real remaster and it looks like it was really cool and i which i don't even know what like what is a really cool remastered i think because it had like a bunch of it was like up res so the graphics were like way sharper like it looked

like a modern version even though it was very much golden eye like all the detail like of the renderings and stuff were much of the film right all the details of the polygrammal heads. The polygraph-shaped... Not polygraph. Polygons. Polygon-shaped heads. As Desus and Meryl once said. Oh, yeah, that takes me back. Yeah.

So the new re-release is going to show up on Nintendo Switches, Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass, and Xbox Game Pass this week, January 27th. Okay. So, tomorrow. You did? Okay, we'll hook it up to your TV. Welcome to the family. Or 98. Anyways, it's apparently been in the work for more than

a decade. Fans first caught wind that there was a remastered edition when a leaked video of someone playing hit YouTube, but no one knew why it had been made but never released and the delay apparently had to do with lights licensing problems the developers of the game were owned by microsoft at that time they had to make a deal with nintendo and even when they reached a deal it still had to get the okay from MGM, who owns the rights to James Bond.

And apparently the like I never really thought about this, but the fit between Nintendo and GoldenEye being like a bloody like shoot them up. Yeah, that's not that's not their style. That's not their style at all. Oh, I never thought about that. There's this anecdote that I love. Oh, I never thought about that. Yeah, there's this anecdote that I love where they went to Nintendo with the final game and Nintendo complained to the development team

there was too much close-up killing and suggested a scene be added at the end where you got to shake hands with all your enemies in the hospital. Thank you, Shigeru Miyamoto, for that wonderful suggestion. The Mario goat was like, how about, I mean, I get you. I get that you exploded him with a proximity mine in a bathroom stall. But what about the end?

He's all bandaged up and you go, friendship. Those proximity mines were the shit. Did you ever play the battle version with proximity mines? Oh, yeah, you had to. All proximity mines. It was so good. That was the funnest way to lure someone in mines were the shit did you ever play the battle version with proximity oh yeah you had to all proximity mines it was so good that was the funnest way to like lure someone in and then just like throw a bunch of proximity mines in a doorway but anyway so this game wasn't was too violent it was too violent for a lot of people. It was too violent for the entire nation of Germany. It has only recently been released in Germany.

For most of the history of the game, they were like, fuck no, this is for kids. And you're using realistic weapons to murder each other. We never minded. I certainly didn't. But in retrospect...

And look at us now. We're pushing the germans to send tanks maybe if you played some fucking golden eye you'd be more bought in on this shit like it was set to be re-released uh last summer 2022 being the game's 25th anniversary but then the game was placed in limbo because of the war between Russia and Ukraine. Because the game is, like for anyone who hasn't played in a long time, yeah, the Russians are the bad guys. You're killing people, like Russian soldiers. They are the number one murder victim of this game.

If you just take every kill that's happened across Goldeneye games over the course of history, I guess not in battle mode. Could you play Russian soldiers in battle mode? Could you be a Russian soldier? I think you could pick your character, couldn't you? Oh yeah, I think there was the one guy, right?

There was the main bad guy, Boris. I remember you could be Oddjob. Oddjob was the best because you couldn't shoot him straight up like you couldn't duck down really where you had to duck down yeah oh yeah there was bond natalia you could be xenia arumov alan coming who was boris yeah like there were there were a few options yeah there, there was that. It could just be Russian soldier, I guess, or scientist. I forgot that was Alan Cummings.

That's amazing. I'm invincible. I spiked them. That's my favorite line. You know what? That game had math in it. There were timed mines. You had to count that shit.

Yeah. Thank you. And is math harmful? The hardest math of all, counting. Counting down from a number. But yeah, it was Germany labeled it media harmful to young persons. Whoops. The hardest math of all. Counting. Counting down from a number. But yeah, Germany labeled it media harmful to young persons up until 2021. Like that's how long it took.

So they're just, that is why their culture is so far behind. I blame that for the popularity of David Hasselhoff's recording career. It's because they just were stalled in a pre-Goldeneye world. Yeah. Come on, be more like us where we've got it figured out. Yeah. But it is weird that it's now being re-released just one week after Britain confirmed plans to send military equipment to Ukraine. It makes it seem like the main reason it was delayed was because James Bond, even in video game form, needs to follow official foreign policy objectives. And the UK military opposing Russia

in the real world is the only way that the digital James Bond can be sent into battle computerized Russian soldiers. MI6 is deemed the Operation Go. It's a Go. Operation Goldeneye. Wow. But anyways, that's exciting. can't wait to hook that up

and show my baby proximity minds. Well, Zara, such a pleasure having you as always. Such a pleasure being here. Congratulations. Yeah, congrats. Thank you so much. Congratulations to you too, Miles. Oh, thank you.

Are you ready? Are you ready? Coming up. I had a few things on a to-do list that I have to do before. That took me back, man. The car seat thing. Car seat installation. That was a whole other thing.

Had to go get that inspected and shit. Which kind did you get? My homegirl gave me her old one. I got to look at it. Maxi Cozy or something. Maxi Cozy. yeah it's which kind did you get uh my homegirl gave me her old one it's a nice i don't i gotta look at maxi cozy or something yeah yeah yeah maxi cozy yeah class you know you like that you want that base to pop off so you could throw it on the stroller you know what i mean oh snap that is that one's amazing and see this is this is the new shit i'm talking about instead of proximity mines that's right thanks a lot baby baby. Thanks, baby.
