Oh, whose voice is this?

Yes, it's Miles Gray, and welcome to Season 9, Episode 3 of the Daily Zeitgeist for December 6, 2017. As I said before, I am Miles Gray, a.k.a. Miles Teller of Truth, a.k.a. the Benghazi Prophet, a.k.a. Miles Don't Lie to the FBI. And I am joined in studio by my co-host, super producer, Hannah Hosnier. Hello. Thank you for having me. Yes. And for those of you that are wondering, Jack is out right now. We will get to that a little bit later. But we are joined today in studio with a hilarious comedian, rapper, a host of Who Charted. It's the man, Dragon Boy Suede, a.k.a. Howie Michael Motorcycle, a.k.a. Howard Creamer. How are you? Good.

Hello. You're one of the first guests that actually has legit a.k.a.s. Oh, right on. I got other ones. Oh, hit me with them. A.k.a. Horse Pastrasnik, a.k.a. Oh, yeah, I guess that's it.

Wait, what's Horse Pastrasnik? Wait, what was that last one? Horst Pastrasnik. It was just a dumb name I used to use. I like that. Yeah. No, hold on. I feel like there's a story.

I'm intrigued by it. There is a story. I had an agent at the time who used to get excited about whoever was brand new in town, and he never even saw their acts, but he's like, I got to sign them. I got to sign them. So we made up this story that there was a guy, Horst Pastrasnik, that we saw up in Canada. He was amazing and stuff. And we just kind of let it bleed into conversation to the point where he's like, yeah, I saw that guy.

The guy's good. Yeah, I got to get that guy. Oh, like lying? Like he had seen a Horst Pastrasnik? Yeah, he was such an agent. Right, right, right. He had to be on top of everything. I like that he even thought someone's name could be Horse.

Yeah, he started to believe it. Yeah, this Horse guy. You heard of him? Yeah. Howard, tell us a little something about a Google search you've done recently that will let our guests know, you know, a little bit about you. Oh, yeah. I got to grab this one because I actually put this on Instagram, which I don't do.

But I did a search and I just spelled it so badly that it was funny and i think that kind of shows you something about me i googled burt to end the beezy cast and it was beauty and the beast wait you intentionally typed that like that yeah well no like um uh i guess this just shows that i'm curious about stuff but just completely lazy and i guess i don't know for you younger folks it's like did you ever need to know how to spell yeah i mean yeah i mean mavis beacon taught me how to type so you know i naturally had to learn how to spell also oh so you just like the lightning fast just type on the phone like whatever comes up yeah yeah yeah i but But it just amazes me that Google actually could figure it all out.

Yeah. How did you spell that again? I guess it was- Bird Tui? B-E-A-R. Bear, two, T-U, and the Meesycast. For Beauty and the Beast. There you go.

Beauty and the Meesycast. Did you find out what you needed to know? Yeah, I did. I don't even remember. Why did I? I think it was to figure out who the guy was. I don't know. The Beast?

Yeah, who the Beast was. Who is the Beast? You mean like from the old TV show from the 80s? Yeah. Oh, God. Oh, I have no idea. Yo, who was that? That was someone, was that Ron Perlman?

Maybe, yeah, yeah, there you go, Ron Perlman. Ron Perlman was like the Beast. You're talking about the live action soap opera drama show, right? Yeah, because I thought of it because of the new movie. Right, right, right. I think that movie's overrated, right? It could be. Well, here, let's get into that.

Howard, yeah, tell us something that you think is overrated. Well, overrated to me is, well, Facebook, but not for all the problems you always hear about. Of course. It's got all those problems and more, but just the format. I just think it looks terrible. I don't get why that makes sense to people when they look at it. It disorients me every time I look at it. Well, it's definitely changed over the years.

It keeps evolving. Timeline was a very big... I remember it was a shifting point where people were like, what the fuck are you doing to my wall or whatever? But wait, so to you, it could be more intuitive? Or what's your brief with it? When MySpace came out, that made sense to me. It's me, it's MySpace, and it just has a box over here and a scroll.

I feel like this is just so super busy. It's like the inside of a TGI Friday is on there. It's just too much clutter. Yeah, and there's too many ads. The margins are just chock full of information that you don't need. Yeah. That's why I don't really use it. Do you use it a lot? No, I don't.

But I always felt like I was supposed to use it a lot, and I never did. I did in the beginning, and then I slowly just got lazier and lazier with it. I'm like, I have a phone. People who really need to reach me, they know how to reach me. I'm hearing that more and more from people that they're not using it. Yeah.

It's, you know, because it's whatever. I don't want to disparage people who use it. But for me, not my favorite form of social media. It's not my spot. It's not my space to tell you that. Do you have anything else that's overrated? Overrated? Movies? Okay. Just generally the concept of cinema? do you have any anything else that's overrated overrated movies

okay just generally the concept of cinema I just think they're too long and that as a culture like things

are moving so fast now and like everything is so interactive right I just think it's like it's harder for them to make a good movie oh yeah

totally yeah and I go to see them and I wind up like hopping around like i'll i gotta i go from movie to movie to movie and there's just theater hopping yeah so what you spend like you go in at a 1 p.m show and you're like out of there at 11 at night no no like i'm just saying like oh this movie's no good in like 10 minutes whatever you can palette you're like

yeah blade runners all right i guess i'll see what's going on in the big sick or whatever, just go bounce from movie to movie. But like, yeah, Wonder Woman was playing when I did that, and I was like, alright, there's a lull now, so I'm like, what am I going to see now? So I would leave, and then went to like 47 meters down. Oh, wow. Yeah. That's not, wait, what's that about? Someone who like falls in a mineshaft or something?

Yeah, it was, no, a shark. They get trapped underneath the water. Oh, in a cage, right? Yeah. That's not that way. What's that about? If someone who like falls in a mine shaft. Yeah, it was no shark. They get trapped. Oh, yeah. Oh, in a cage. Right. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Who was the was the actress?

Is it Mandy Moore? Yeah. Mandy Moore. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I wanted to love it because I love Jaws, but I didn't.

Ah, all right. Well, what is something that is underrated? Jaws. Oh, no. You know, it's underrated recently. Kesha. Yeah. Kesha has a new album. Yeah. Oh. No, you know what's underrated recently? Kesha. Yeah. Kesha has a new album.

Yeah. Yeah, have you heard it? I've heard a few songs because someone else came in and said the new Kesha album is severely slept on. Oh, really? Yeah. Wow, that's cool. I'm glad people know about that. She dropped the auto-tune.

She's really going for it. You can hear her actual voice. And she's making real songs about her experience in the last few years. Yeah, she's been through a lot. Dr. Luke. She had the problems with him. I really like it. That song, Prayer, I believe.

It gets me every time. Pray, yeah. Pray, yeah. Tear up in the car. Tell him. She first became famous with lyrics like, wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy, right? Wasn't that Kesha? Yes.

Brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack. Yeah. So now she's like, yeah. See, the lyrical content is, yeah. She's been humbled in a way. I don't think, though, like you wouldn't have picked her five years ago as somebody that was going to grow and mature. No, I wouldn't think so either. Put out, yeah, a serious good album.

Yeah. Okay. Well, what else? Maren Morris is another girl. She's like more country, but she put out like an amazing album called hero that nobody knows about but um yeah it's really good what it was so it's straight country it's like a singer-songwriter vibe it's kind of yeah it's more well she writes all the songs but it's kind of like straight country but it's like has a little bit of pop too but but like even alicia keys has covered some of

her songs like it's really good stuff. Oh, wow. Yeah. What's her name again? Maren Morris? Maren Morris, yeah. I saw her at the Greek Theater a couple months ago. Ah, beautiful. All right, well, let's get into the show like we normally do. We'll talk a little bit of format.

I know you guys hear this every day. But if you're listening for the first time, welcome. And we just like to talk about everything. We talk about movies, culture, politics, the president. We talk about tabloids. And basically, we're just here to kind of get a read on what everybody's talking about in the world, specifically probably in the national consciousness here in the United States. But we also like to talk about world issues, which we will in a little bit.

But before we do that, we always like to have our guests do a little myth busting. Because, you know, the zeitgeist is full of myths and culture is full of myths. little myth busting because you know uh the zeitgeist is full of myths uh and culture is full of myths and howard is there something from your experience like a cultural myth or phenomenon that you can kind of take down for us today well yes um i'm originally from the state of new jersey hey the garden state that's it and a lot of people when the uh show jersey shore came out right they go oh that's what New Jersey is like. Right. And then there's a backlash because people are like, that's not what New Jersey is like. But that is what New Jersey is like. So you're here to eliminate the myth that New Jersey is not like the Jersey Shore because

it's exactly like the Jersey Shore? Well, let's say this. Those people are everywhere. You can't escape those people. So they're not the only tribe of people there, but they are everywhere. And so they definitely affect daily life every day. And the way those guys are, the animal way in which they behave and stuff, that's everywhere. But it's not really a bad thing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. It's like when you're there and you live there it's just kind of funny so you weren't there with the fist pumping gelled hair guys what was your tribe in jersey oh i was just like uh just like me and two friends that like punk rock like there was just like there was nobody else who liked it just an entire state it was just you three holding it down? Pretty much. I mean, there was one guy like three towns away who had his hair spiked up. Like there was just like...

And you heard about him. You're like, hey, you know that guy in Red Bank with spiky hair? Yeah, I've seen him. Amazing, amazing. But yeah, I grew up in that Red Bank area. So that's, yeah. Oh, okay. See, I only know that because I'm a huge Kevin Smith fan.

Oh, okay. So knowing that area is like, oh, what's going on in Red Bank area, so that's, yeah. Oh, okay. See, I only know that because I'm a huge Kevin Smith fan. Oh, okay. So knowing that area is like, oh, what's going on in Red Bank, New Jersey? Yeah, yeah. My sister lives like a mile from that comic book store. Oh, nice. And Springsteen lives over there. It's like real big Springsteen country. Well, and another thing, too, is before we started, I was saying I'm from the San Fernando Valley,

which is like L.A.'s version of New Jersey, where people who live in L. in la proper like to say shitty things about the valley right right so to people like what happens when you meet people who don't know anything about new york new jersey and just go oh you're from jersey yeah yeah do you have do you have like a built-in defense mechanism or a statement you give like i'm not defensive about it because i was i wasn't super like into being there. I listened to Born to Run. Baby, this town rips the bones from your back. It's a death trap. It's a suicide rap. We got to get out while we're young. I was like, that's right.

So yeah, I guess Jersey is a terrible place. It's not terrible, but I'm glad I'm from there, but I wouldn't go back just for even the weather now that I'm used to the weather out here. Gotcha. But yeah, I don't defend it. It is what it is. Right, right, right. Yeah.

Good to know. All right. Well, let's get into some of the news. Earlier this week, the Labor Department announced that they were basically going to be rolling back Obama-era regulations and put in new rules that basically allow restaurants to force waitstaff, bartenders, bussers, and other tip employees to pull their tips so they can be shared with everybody, including kitchen staff, dishwashers, others who don't have front-facing tip jobs. This is a significant change. Some people, if you've worked in the restaurant industry, yeah, there are some people that

should get cut in on the tips, but other people kind of looking at this is like yo this is opening the door for like tip theft which is already kind of a kind of a problem in the restaurant industry if they do it right which is they add the actual money into the uh receipt when you get it so you just pay for your entire meal plus tip without having to do it separately then it works because it goes into the company and the company is able to distribute yeah but listen i mean like the company and the company is able to distribute. Yeah. But I mean, like the cooks and all that, they get paid more per hour than they do because they're typically making minimum wage where wait staff don't because they sort of offset that with the tips. Yeah.

But again, minimum wage isn't great money. And if you're, you know, it is possible for waiters to make much more. So there is one side to it. I don't understand. What's the reason for the change? What are they trying to get going? We don't know. I think it's one of those things where like the restaurant industry, like lobbyists are

like, this is great. This means fairness or whatever. But other people who advocate for, you know, people who work in restaurants. Is it a way for them to pay their staff less because the tips are covering? Some people, critics of it are saying like, yo, if you can actually take their tips, they've created a loophole where you can take tips and you can give it to anyone you want. So that means like people who necessarily,

you can make it as part of the profits of the night or you can distribute them equally among the employees. So, you know, a lot of restaurants have been sued for tip theft. So it's like one of those things, like if that continues, this law could only just make it basically like legal to be like, well. What is tip theft. So it's like one of those things, like if that continues, this law could only just make it basically like legal to be like, well, that's like if, you know, you, you're working

in a restaurant, you give your tips and like your boss is like, all right, guys, everyone bring your tips here and then I'm going to distribute them. And then the managers could get a cut of the tip or something like a pimp. Yeah, exactly. So, I mean, you know, tipping is already already like it's a sort of dated practice like a lot of countries like already have done away with tips because you know why don't you just start paying people good wages so they don't have to rely on tips exactly so much right um so you know it's kind of like i guess it's sort of the worst of two worlds in a sense in some countries

it's actually rude to tip right exactly which is like in japan like you don't tip like people like you'll try and tip a taxi guy and he'll be like no no no yeah but why is it rude because it's saying like i think you're below me you need my money yeah something like that it's just like customary you're just not supposed to do it and so that's like you could offend someone by trying to give them extra money when they're like i did not ask for that well right in some places like or just your work ethic is such that it's like, well, I'm paid to do a job. You don't need to incentivize me to do my best job because I have a job.

I will do my best job. Where here it's like, you dangle a tip. It's like, hey, you don't want, don't treat me like a total piece of shit. And maybe I'll give you two bucks at the end. Right. So, you know, we shall see. But again, if this, you know, I know a lot of people do work in the restaurant industry. So right now, before this rule does actually go into effect, there's like a comment period.

So if you guys want, we'll put in the footnotes a way for you to comment on it if you feel so inclined. I was a waiter at TGI Fridays in Austin, Texas. Oh, yeah. And I'll tell you this. If I, like, went out of my way and totally helped the table and then the guy gives me an extra big tip, like, why would you share that with somebody? You know what I mean? Because you went out of your way personally to earn that. Yeah, like if a rock star's out on stage and, like, somebody throws, like, panties at him, he's got to go cheer him with the roadie. Like, I mean, that's roadie. That's an interesting analogy. I like that.

I think also, I mean, the one side... I'm saying, I think it might de-incentivize waiters from being good waiters. It could. But I think also, if you just paid people a decent wage where they didn't have to rely on tips to give them a living wage, then everyone

will just work well because it's like, oh, I'm already getting paid enough that I don't have to worry about going above and beyond to get more money so I can live. It's like, I'll just come in, do my best job, and I know I'm walking out with fair pay every time. But again, I like the idea of the guy in the band cutting up the panties backstage. All right, here's your second. Everybody's got to get some. Yeah, everybody gets a little piece of elastic.

Not that they covet those things. I would assume they just throw them away. I assume someone just comes and wipes or sweeps them away. Hey, how about this? What if it's a lunch shift and there's not a lot of customers show up? So then the restaurant's paying salary, but they're not taking money in. Yeah. So that's why a lot of times tips make sense for the waiter, I mean, for everybody.

That's why it's a very multifaceted problem, because I know with minimum wage going up in L.A., I was talking with Nick, our producer. He was saying that that could potentially put a lot of restaurants out of business when they have to go to minimum wage for all their wait staff. Right. So, yeah, it's it's a it's. They might be.

Hey, we're closed on Tuesdays, you know. Right. Yeah. So it's it's, you know, I think the problems that sort of exacerbated are more than just sort of like what the minimum wage is or how tipping works. It's things like how these businesses are either taxed or what health care costs for them to provide for people. So it's many or rent based on like where your restaurant is. There are many factors involved. But, yeah, I think it can be a double edged sword.

I see it as the good side, because I think if you're not making minimum wage, you absolutely need as much of those tips as possible to be able to sustain your life. But who knows? I don't think that Donald Trump is actually doing it for those reasons, especially if, you know, considering the amount of times restaurants are sued for tip theft. And if these rules do go into place, you can hide behind this as a loophole to basically take your waitstaff's tips and use them however you want. And we've seen in this world we live in, it's not usually to share it with the people who need it. No, no. Yeah. So with that, we'll take a quick break and we'll be right back.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months.

These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.

I'm Carrie Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture.

Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious. She is unapologetically black.

I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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 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.

Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we are back. What a break. That was such a break. Guys, so like you may have noticed, California is on fire. Maybe you didn't notice, but we definitely have because we live here in California, Southern California specifically. And the fires are all over the place. They're up in Ventura.

They're now in L.A. County. And that's actually one of the reasons why Jack is not here today is because he had to go take care of his house because it is in a bit of danger in terms of like this fire that's burning right now. It's technically in the evacuation area. Yeah. So yeah, he actually, he texted us. He's like, I'm having to hose my roof down and like put a ladder out probably I think for firefighters in case they need it uh so he wants to be there but yeah i know we're not thoughts and prayers people but uh definitely thoughts and prayers positive energy to jack uh that everything is safe and we will hear from him a little bit later because this man is so dedicated he's like no i'm gonna call it i'm gonna call him so yeah we'll

talk with jack a little bit later just to get a little update with him um so yeah these fires basically have got us more and more aware of climate change because in California we had a huge drought like the last couple of years. And this last winter in 2016, it was really, really wet winter. We had plenty of rain and it helped end the drought. The other side of that coin is that all the vegetation it created that was beautiful in the spring, as it gets drierer turns to brush and dried out plant matter that becomes the fuel for this and it's just a cycle and with the winds right

now it's been really really bad um and yeah this is all part and parcel with climate change because as these things happen these cycles will get more intense at the very least depending on look if you if you don't fuck with climate change that's your prerogative right but don't come to me asking me for help when something happens to you okay but anyway this is how just thinking like how basically over time how are humans going to adapt to climate change like whether that's like physiologically or what we do in the immediate aftermath of some kind of disaster so we were thinking like yeah what what are we going to do so one of our writers jm helped us to answer that question. It's not really like a what if question at this point, because it's happening now and we don't really know what we're doing.

The U.N. has kind of like apparently only toyed with protections to help refugees of climate change, but haven't really put anything together. So like in Bangladesh, the population there depends overwhelmingly on coastal agriculture and like sea level rise of just a few feet is on track to displace more than 15 million people over the next 30 years. So that's wild. Like just a few feet that that's like rendering the living living area for 15 million people completely inert or unlivable um and new zealand now the government there you know they've apparently proposed a special visa for those displaced by climate change like that's like we're actually coming into new territory it's like hey

you want that uh k1 90 day fiance visa like no i'm here on the fucking refugee like climate change refugee visa um because it's getting really serious. And the reason they created that visa was because in 2015, they deported a refugee from the island of Kurabati because him and his family, they fled because they feared going back to their island home. It was too much of a risk because it was totally threatened by climate change. And it's a very – it's wild to think that there are people who have to make these kinds of like considerations because you know before you should be like oh there was a little flood or whatever and now it's like i think my island will literally actually be just swallowed up by the sea right and in places like greece they have little islands that they actually kind of keep refugees in in tents and stuff now there's like a problem because it's

getting so cold during the winter they don't even know where to take these refugees because they fear they'll freeze to death because the winters are getting so cold now so like political refugees who are fleeing are going to an island where they are now being affected by climate right and a lot of these balkan region countries are closing their borders off and saying you can't come here so now there's a crisis of where to even put refugees who live in areas that climate change is happening. Right. It's yes, this is it's wild because, again, we are we're going into very, very new territory. There is a like there's a Reuters story about this island of Kiribati and says the Pacific Island nation of Kiribati is in dire need of aid as drought pushes it closer to declaring a state of emergency. And it struggles with rising seas and other effects of climate change which could cost billions so you know this is already

happening and the numbers of people relocating is just going to increase because we've yet to really get a real handle on like how we're going to solve this uh because this is like we're sort of just getting into the refugee part uh of of climate change like clearly we're seeing the weather effects of it but now like now we're seeing actual displacement so that like kind of begs the question of like you know where like where do we put these people where will they go um and so as more and more people are like fleeing basically drought or sea levels, people are just floating on the idea of like, then why don't we just build some islands for them to live on, which has actually been floated. And some people are looking into doing that. The Seasteading Institute is creating a pilot project of like man-made islands in French Polynesia. Oh, wow.

What are they made of? in French Polynesia. Oh, wow. What are they made of? So a lot of these sort of for the Seasteading Institute, they are sort of creating like literally just floating platforms like above the sea for people to live on. So it looks like an oil rig. But I mean, that's still like a very temporary.

That's not intended to be like permanent, right? I mean, there are examples of cities now that are sort of just built on the water, like on stilts. So there's a village in thailand called kopan yee which is like that uh the entire village is just built on top of the water on stilts and they even have a soccer pitch it's amazing like if the ball goes out of bounds like the ball is just in the water and someone you're gonna have to either dive in and get it or the homie in the canoe doesn't have to throw it back but there is very little margin for error. Don't slide tackle crazy on the thing because you will just go right off the pitch and into the water.

What are we going to lose first, like the Atlantic side or the Pacific side where they both go up evenly? So, yeah, in terms of like the U.S., Florida is the most threatened state due to sea level rise. Like Miami, for example. Right. They're a huge risk for where they are in due to sea level rise like miami for example right they're a huge risk uh for where they are in terms of sea level which is why like a lot of wealthy people have been buying like land inland like in the projects where liberty city where moonlight that'll be the new coast yeah because and also it'll be you know for years to come at a high enough sea level that it's

not in any imminent danger right uh and then after that the three most affected states are california louisiana and new york so it's it's it's everywhere it's both coasts and like especially even like with new york uh i don't live in new york and i didn't live in new york but when when sandy happened clearly like there were parts of manhattan that were definitely underwater soon ohio will be the coast yeah you can buy that beach from property. It'll be a tiny country when Ohio's the coast. So in terms of these floating cities, a lot of the Seasteading Institute, they've raised like $2.5 million from about 1,000 donors to do this. But the problem is a lot of the countries that are really threatened with rising sea

levels, they're also some of, like, the poorest. So, according to, like, a UBC geography professor, it would lead to these islands being more like cruise ships, as he quotes, for those who can afford it. So, it's like, it's not that everyone's going to have a ticket to this because it almost would be like, you know, part of you moving here is you have to pay to live here. Now, it's like a socioeconomic thing as well. Yeah, exactly. Will you survive climate change? Well, are you rich enough to survive climate oh yeah yeah only the

sexy people yeah it's like sorry uh you got bad ratios you got not enough women coming in with you brother there's gonna be a dj controlling the whole thing yeah you have a club doorman it could honestly be some shitty version of that um but yeah so it was it's just sort of this professor goes on to say that the project reflects a cruel reality because the developed world is both responsible for climate change and better able to cope with it. So like you said, you know, it's not it's not an ideal situation. So now the organization behind this project, you know, they've been in the news recently because they they want to get like they want to start really aggressively like 2020 aggressively like in two

years um and so they want to sort of use a startup ethos to create you know a climate friendly small government alternative to land-based nations as they put it uh but like when you look at their website the vibe is a little culty uh it's not really like it doesn't seem like they're all about like providing shelter. Like, oh, here we're here to to really help these people who are displaced. You know, it's like it's more like a place for people, you know, just want to live off the grid. Yeah. You want to live off your your fancy off coast, you know, floating city. Yeah. Your bungalow on a floating city. Yeah. And like they're also like calling the people who are running the project aquapreneurs.

Oh, come on. It sounds like what a guy who sells Aquafina door to door, like calls himself at like a family dinner. It's like, so what do you, what do you do now? Well, I'm a, I'm an aquapreneur. What's that? I'm a sparklets delivery guy. It sounds like a, uh, like a guy who like also like, uh, I got a new yogurt place.

Where is it? It's about a mile offshore. Got a jet ski to it. Oh, you have a jet ski? Oh, well, my man, you're not even in the game. This is for aquapreneurs only. So, yeah, the other crazy thing is one of the group's founders was Trump buddy and gawker killer Peter Thiel. Yeah.

So he's also. So it's like you want to feel good about these projects, like that there are good people involved. But then when you have the guy who's looking for young people's blood in the form of Peter Thiel behind it, it also kind of bums you out because you're like, damn, we're relying on some of these people too to get us out. Or they're exploiting our need to want something good.

Right. Most of the rich people who can fund this kind of stuff aren't necessarily the best people. Right, right, of course. So that's kind of like an aspect of like, huh. Are you throwing shade at Shark Tank? No, I'm throwing shade at Saudi Arabia for funding random stuff. Because somehow they'll find their way to invest in that. Into aquapreneurs? Oh, yeah. Will they be aquapreneurs also? Yeah, probably find their way to invest in that. Into aquapreneurs.

Will they be aquapreneurs also? Yeah, probably if there's money in it. The veggie burgers I buy, they're made by Monsanto. Are they? Yeah, and I just like, there's other ones that aren't Monsanto and I've tried them and they're terrible. I don't like them.

You got to pick your battles, right? Yeah, you got to pick your battles. It's not like you're spraying, what was it? what was there ddt yeah or like all that other shit that like renders seeds inert and stuff like that how do you kill seeds yeah monsanto is that burger good though are you happy with your your burger howard i guess i am i guess i am is that and also not to plug the burger but what is it the? The Impossible Burger? No, it's not. What's the Monsanto one? I think Morningstar is owned by Monsanto. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So any of those ones that are kind of easy to find? Yeah, because the good ones, like Impossible Meat, is only in restaurants now. Yeah. They got us by the ankles, man. Oh, you heard it here. Go get those delicious Monsanto Morningstar burgers. Yeah, Morningstar burgers. Veggie burgers.

The only burger that will render your seed inert, which is very, very dangerous. So now we know where we're going to go. I guess there's some floating city options or just like head for the hills and panic. You know, the other thing about climate change is like over time, it will actually affect us physiologically like if it goes in a complete runaway scenario there are effects that you know we as humans are going to feel too not just because we're running away from the water or the fires but you know rising temperatures and things like that can begin to affect like how we live like how we evolve like

as as species yeah like it could affect evolution so like in the in the short term uh you know one of the things that people are already experiencing is there's one study that that says that millions of americans have already lost sleep because of the rising temperatures because i don't know if like you're like me i cannot sleep if i'm hot yes i cannot either i've gone you know an entire night tossing and turning in the heat because some places in la like don't have air conditioning especially on the east side and you're just sort of like at the will of like a fan on the west side as well they were not planning for this when they built the west side yeah exactly because you had wonderful sea breezes

but yeah now you're like i need a fucking air conditioner and i do the thing sometimes i'll just i'll take a bath towel and dunk it in water and then wring it out and then just lay it on top of me that's genius oh yeah i love that that is like the original air conditioner like that when you really can't sleep just cloak yourself in a wet towel stay stay pretty cool for a while if you really wring it out yeah and like you just put it on you because the evaporation effect will keep you cool that with a fan it's a definitely it's a workaround for some of you out there. Yeah. But yeah, so basically with

the rising temperatures, people losing sleep, like some sleep scientists know that a person's like internal or core temperature is, you know, directly related

to their ability to sleep through the night. I run hot. So I'm already like at a disadvantage. But typically, the warmer you are, you know,

the worse your sleep is. So we all know that. So guys, get your towel, towel wring it out and we can get through this together uh but like when they use some more statistical models they found that for every month with an average temperature uh that's one degree celsius higher than normal three out of every 100 people lost about you know one night of sleep and you know that doesn't seem that bad, like three out of 100. But when you actually like extrapolate that to the whole U.S., that's more like 9 million people who like will probably not be able to sleep. Like 9 million cranky people would definitely affect the quality of life.

I mean, that could lead to faster, you know, civil unrest. No, I mean, that's true. Obviously, when it gets hotter, people do act fucking crazier uh you know like if you look at new york and i'm sure many other cities like crime definitely goes up when it's hotter especially at night because you can't sleep and your ass is outside probably getting into fucking trouble maybe at one point they will have to literally put us to sleep with computers like you never know if we lose all that sleep to keep us sane. Oh, like artificially induced sleep? Yeah.

I do that now. Like how comas work. It's called marijuana. Yeah. It's called getting dumb high. Just taking a dab before bed. That does actually help sleep, though. I mean, for me, I'm just speaking personally.

See, so maybe, you know, you could get ahead of the game and, like, find these 9 million people who are losing night's sleep and be like, hey, you know, I have a solution for you. You'll sell them some weed. Yeah, meet me by the 7-Eleven. I sold nine million eighths yesterday. You've become a millionaire overnight. And I am just getting this in now.

We have established a connection with Jack O'Brien, who is reporting live from the fire stricken part of Los Angeles right now. Jack, are you there? Miles, this is Jack. I'm here in the Los Angeles right now. Jack, are you there? Miles, this is Jack. I'm here in the Los Angeles area. I don't know if you can hear me. Fires are raging, I'm told, over by my house, but I'm safe about 10 miles away, so I don't know why I'm talking like this. Why are you screaming? Yeah, that's... I don't know. It just seems like what people do whenever you throw to them in the field and there's a disaster going on.

Again, we still have people, you know, like you're not obviously not in studio because, yes, you had to evacuate your home because of the fires here. Yeah. And you sound very relaxed for someone who had to evacuate. But you're OK, right? OK, right. Yeah. Yeah. I've been up since my parents called me this morning at like four thirty and, you know, from the East Coast. And they were aware of this before I was. Right. Is a great testament to what a provider and protector I am of my household that they are like a thousand miles away. And we're like, like hey your neighborhood's on fire uh but i was like your neighborhood's on fire dead god um but then i went out into my front yard and looked and uh you know the we live kind of right on the mountain slash hill that goes over into the valley. And it was glowing, like you could see it glowing. And there was, you know, smoke

kind of billowing over just a big, looked almost like a patch of fog. So yeah, we got all our stuff together. I am fortunate to have an amazing aunt and uncle who live further east in Los Angeles. And we just took the family and the dog over there. And then I drove back and did all the stuff you're supposed to do. I didn't I didn't know about this. What did you do? You're supposed to water your house. Like I, I basically took our, uh, backyard hose and like hosed down our whole house. Uh, I unkinked my hose. So that's probably another reason I sound relaxed is like a lot of the stuff that I was doing was very not

like, didn't feel, uh, urgent or, you know, like I was in an emergency. I was like sitting in my backyard, like untying, untangling my hose. And, you know, eventually got it unkinked. You're supposed to like have them laid out and then turn all the lights on outside of your house. And then I continued to just grab random things. Like I think have um one pair of pants and all of my t-shirts for some reason and uh assume you brought all your sneakers uh i only i don't i don't even have my jordans uh so yeah couldn't find my jordans and i couldn't find my passport those were the two most important things. Well, how will anyone know that you're an international player?

No, exactly. I mean, my Jordans are kind of my passport when you think about it. That lets people know you're locally respected. Right. But, yeah, so as I was leaving my house, there was ash kind of snowing down. And you could see helicopters kind of circling. We're basically across the street from where on the south side of Sunset and the north side of Sunset had been evacuated. And you could see these big cool planes with fire retardant just circ circling in getting ready to dump the stuff so

it's pretty i don't know pretty dramatic morning i guess you live below sunset yes like i don't know if you remember clueless uh when she gets real mad when she says she calls her housekeeper mexican and she's like she's from el salvador and she's like what's the difference and then paul was like you get mad when people think you live below sunset that's a deep cut that i had to just you weren't in there because that is a deep cut i think it's a clueless reference we made i'm on the uh wrong side of the tracks from bel-air uh like the the bel-air people look down on my neighborhood and uh you know it's pretty tough pretty pretty badass are you i mean again i you're i know like today we almost had to convince you to like

just focus on evacuating and doing everything because you were so like dedicated to coming in or at least calling in to do most of the show but are you like so other than that like other than obviously the imminent danger that your home is in, you're feeling good, did the fire department give you any assurances or any idea of sort of what the situation could look like? So I didn't talk to anyone. My neighbors talked to a cop who said that he thought our neighborhood should be okay. We're basically right now sort of command central where all the fire chiefs and police chiefs are hanging out and change where Command Central is. I think we should be all right. And that's what they said. We should be all right. But, you know, there's this thing in Los Angeles. So Los Angeles, people from Los Angeles love to brag

about how it's always 72. And it's true. But there the the one kind of bad piece of weather that i didn't know about uh heading into living here is these things called the santa ana winds which it's these just crazy strong winds that are unlike you know i've lived all over america and they're kind of unlike anything i've ever experienced anywhere else like there are winds that actually make you have to slow down when you're driving there because they kick up dust and also like push your car around the street. I'm not telling you guys, but, uh, you know, people who might not have lived in Los Angeles during this time of the year. Uh, and, uh, those are going on right now and you know this is just uh somewhat unprecedented for there to be wildfires at the same time as santa ana wins because wildfires are usually not

going on in december but uh because of uh global warming or uh you know naturally occurring climate change, whatever you choose to believe. But, I mean, obviously it's man-made. You shouldn't choose to believe that unless you're a fucking asshole. Yeah, depending on if you're a complete fucking asshole or not. But so because of that, there are wildfires at a time at the same time as like these crazy winds that normally like blow cars all over the street. So, right. Those are supposed to kick up later tonight. And then who the fuck knows what's going to happen?

Well, you know, I think earlier when before you came on, I was like, we're not really a thoughts and prayers kind of show. But this is definitely a time for everybody, you know, send the vibes to protect Jack's house, his family and many people in L.A. Man, like it's not just L.A., it's Ventura County, it's San Bernardino. So all the listeners out there, if we can collectively send good thoughts, good vibrations, maybe we could fight the fire. Yeah. Yeah. that'll probably work. There's no scientific evidence about that, but I've got a granola bar, and I'm feeling good about that. Cool. Well, yeah, I'll probably be back in studio tomorrow, hopefully. Hopefully I'm not standing in front of my house with a garden hose like facing down fire like lieutenant dan uh

cursing at god but we'll see to be honest i don't think the firefighters would let you fight the fire but yes i i've i'm i'm thinking you're going to be in studio tomorrow i'm feeling all right cool all right guys thank you so much to to our on-field correspondent, junior reporter Jack O'Brien, for calling into the main studio, the mothership. Back to you, Miles and Anna. I just wanted to say that. Stay safe out there. Hey, that sounded so official. Sounded so sincere, too.

All right, Jack, be safe. Bye. And with that, we're going to take a quick break and be right back. And with that, we're going to take a quick break and be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who, on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.

One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Carrie Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil.

I ain't really hear them voice. I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire?

Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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 iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we are back so uh you know the way out, we just want to hit a couple quick stories. One to do with Russia, our great friend, as Donald Trump says. You know, they're being banned from the Winter Olympics because, you know, they can't get their doping under control because all the athletes are just like mad juiced up or, you know, blood doping or whatever the new the new fad is.

But the IOC is allowing individual athletes to compete which is like what like you're gonna ban the country but you let the individuals compete so basically i guess there is a criteria um you know for these people to actually compete so like if you're a russian athlete and you're like look i'm not you know i'm not doped up and i still want to compete you will be allowed but you have to show that you've passed rigorous drug screening protocols. And you can, I think you have to have never been like sort of investigated or charged with doping. And then also they won't be able to march under the Russian flag at the opening ceremony or hear the Russian anthem played. If they win, they'll hear the Olympic anthem.

So, you know, it's kind of like, I guess it is a good thing. They could have completely banned all Russian athletes. But I think that is a big step to sort of be like, look, we recognize that there's fuckery going on because we can't do this in our country when it comes to Russian fuckery. But they realize something's going on there. And, you know, they just want to make it fair because, like, nobody wants to be like, you know, trying to speed skate next to some dude with calves the size of like fucking tree trunks. Right. And I do think it's OK to let the actual individual athletes comes because they do that with other countries who can't come. Like Syria can't just come to the Olympics.

But if you've been training your whole life and you happen to be from this country and you are able to compete at that level, you should be able to come through and represent yourself. Especially if you haven't been doping. Right. But there are a lot of critics who say like doping is just already so sophisticated that most people don't even like you wouldn't really even be able to tell because they micro dose it and like it's just over time. Also, a lot of them may be able to compete just because it's hard to find that stuff. Yeah, exactly.

So it's not it wouldn't necessarily be safe to assume that anyone, no matter what country, could be doping. Which brings up the thing, just fucking let everybody dope, I guess. What's the problem there? Having Olympics for doping, we got the best dope. Yeah, called the dope Olympics. It's the dopest fucking Olympics that you got because these people are breaking crazy records because they're using performance enhancing drugs that they use on bears or whatever the fuck just send your bears over

yeah we'll beat your best bears in wrestling whatever it is uh and so like the you know the russians unsurprisingly and putin are very uh upset uh the sort of and the guardian they're saying the ioc announcement on tuesday was met by a wave of righteous anger as Russian officials and public figures described it as a war, racism and genocide. That is fucking spicy. Like, let's be real. You're cheating. Yeah, those are powerful words for. We got caught.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. Like, oh, it's like, no, no, no, we didn't. We're not cheating. This is genocide. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. Like, oh, it was like, no, no, no, we're not cheating.

This is genocide. I feel bad for Grigory Rajenjkov, the guy who was the whistleblower on all this, because it is not safe to go against the Russian government, as we've learned. Is he in? No. He's not in Russia, right? No, but he fears for his life, according to an article I looked up. What will they do? They'll poison him.

Oh, yeah. They'll get to him somehow. They'll hit you with that umbrella. Where they, like, get you on the back of the bed. Oh, yeah. They'll get to him somehow. They'll hit you with that umbrella where they get you on the back of the bed. Oh, yeah, that spike-tipped umbrella. Yeah, like that one spy, I think it was in London, who died of that. But at the very least, Putin, he questioned the ban, but ultimately said that they won't stop athletes from taking part if they want to in a personal capacity.

So if you're not doping and you played fair and square, you get your shot. But it seems like maybe they would pressure them all to not do it because if there's people that come out clean that go do it, then that makes the other people look guilty. Right, right. I mean, look, if you're all about the glory, man, sometimes, you know, glory is bigger than country. And those would be like, fuck it. I'm getting this medal, or I'm competing. I'm going to get shot when I come home, but I'm going to get this medal.

Right. And finally, just to cap off a really fun day, I want to talk really quick about this new suicide booth that they've developed in Australia. This Australian doctor named Philip Nitschke, who Newsweek calls the Elon Musk of assisted suicide. what an honor yeah that sounds like someone's like fake aka um i'm the elon musk of assisted suicide fuck with me uh you know because just recently in the state of victoria in australia they voted to legalize euthanasia uh so this guy created what looks like a space pod, like that people would sleep in like

lost in space to like do like cryo sleep. It's like a pod that the user will get into, push a button and the chamber will start to fill up with liquid nitrogen to bring the oxygen level down about 5%. And then around the minute mark, it says the user will become unconscious, experiencing almost no pain. So, and I guess, you you know i'm kind of behind it what makes this thing even crazier is like after death comes which is quote fairly swift the chamber can be used as a coffin and the base is reusable so you just pop that off

move the body and you just pop a new one on it's it's crazy i mean like i don't want to imagine that we are living in a world where people like that. We're just going to have those around. I mean, I do always feel like it's more for people who are like suffering. Absolutely. But what's weird is like in some of the renderings, like it's just out in a field. So it's like, it's like random.

I'd imagine it will be in a medical facility for someone who wants to go in. I don't know. Maybe you get, you're able to be like, all right, and this is where I would like it to happen. So the last few things I see is wind blowing leaves through the air. At that point, just put a video screen.

The field is probably just so that they don't have to move that pod to bury you. Yeah, just throw them right in the store. So yeah, again, just some uplifting news to end the show. I'm wondering if it's making it too easy. It makes it, I had a bad day. I'm just going to go kill myself. Well, I think for this one, it's for what they call rational suicides. So I think for someone who's just like, you know, I fucking lost at Madden.

You can't just hop into the suicide booth and drop a hot 16 and just get off yourself. What if you get buyer's remorse? You'd see there's no refund on that. Howard, it was great having you on. Can you tell the people out there where they can find you how they can see more of you? Oh, absolutely. Well, you can listen to my podcast with Kulop. It's called Who Charted.

It's over on Earwolf. And you can find me online at Howard Kramer. K-R-E-M-E-R. I'm so sorry I said Kramer. Well, it is Kramer, Kramer, Kramer. But it's just for spelling wise, it's easier if I say cremer. Oh, gotcha. Because then they go K-R-E-M-E-R.

Right. Someone might hit you with the double E or something. Yeah. She said creamer. C-R-A-E-M-E-R. Good to know. Super producer Anna Hosniak, tell everybody where they can find you. You can find me on Twitter at Anna Hosniak, A-N-N-A-H-O-S-S-N-I-E-H.

because, look, it's New Jersey. He talks about suicide machines. And, you know, quite frankly, the climate refugees are born to run from climate change. So shout out to everybody. Please be safe. We will see you guys tomorrow because, as Jack says, it is a daily show. See ya. tomorrow because as jack says it is a daily show see ya in the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway american dream

at night we ride to mansions of glory And suicide machines Sprung from cages on Highway 9 Chrome wheel, human jacket And stepping out over the line Oh, baby, this town rips the bones from your back It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap We gotta get up while we're young

Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run Yes, baby When you let me in I want to be your friend I want to guard your dreams and visions Just wrap your lips around these velvet ribs And strap your hands across my engines Together we could break this trap
