That was beautiful. For that Mo Money Mo Problems. Thank you. Well done. So true. I mean, y'all saw what it was. We're at the auto show, you know what I mean?

Mo Money Mo Problems. You know what I mean? It's like heist. I don't know if I'm allowed to talk yet, but as a person who doesn't come here every day, I cannot believe how calm everyone in the room was while you were here. Oh, really? Yeah.

I mean, it's every day, man. I was stunned. We're all witnesses, man. We're all witnesses. You know, as Team 10 says, it's every day, bro. Yeah. Wow. Miles has that just above his computer.

It's every day, bro. Every day, bro. All right, now I'm not here again. He makes us all hold hands and say that together like it's a prayer. Yeah, that's how you pump up for the show. It's every day, bro. Well, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of the very faces on Mount Zeitmore. He is the hilarious, the talented, Mr. Chris Crofton.

Hey, what's up? So happy to be back. Hey, man. And I really, I don't have that in my life. I don't have people that bust dirty rhymes early in the morning. For me, this is early in the morning. So I just basically just woke up and- It is.

It happens. It's still technically the morning for another minute. Things around my house are not as spirited as they are here. Well, that's because you're not entering a cold brew filled zone like this office is. Right. Well, I waited. I know. like filled zone like this office is right well i waited i know every time i do the daily zeitgeist i i um i wait hold off on cold brew till the show so it's a very sad morning this is like i i

me too that's my life man because like i i uh focus all the energy to the beginning of the show so people when they like hear me on the show and then meet me in person, they're like, man, you have a lot more energy on the show. I'm like, man, I wish I had that CEO energy where you're just always like, yeah! You just can't help yourself from clap. Get over here. That peak capitalism energy. Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, I don't have that. Well, yeah, when money isn't your god, you know. Cold brew is just our god. I have peak depression energy. Right. PD. Dust bowl. I'd say I have dust bowl.

Ooh, dust bowl energy. Dust bowl energy. Peak dust bowl energy. You got big dust bowl energy. Like that photo of Grapes of Wrath. Yeah, I kind of wear a dust bowl kind of outfit too. Kind of like a dust bowl. Your new album, Dust Bowl Father.

Dust Bowl Stepfather. Yeah. Dust Bowl Stepfather. You look like you've been nursed across a rough day or two. And it's nothing. It's just Connecticut. A rough harvester too. Just 1980s Connecticut alcoholism.

That's all it is. Huh. Mimicking the Dust Bowl. There you go. Different kind of Dust Bowl. Well, Chris, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. But first, we're going to take our listeners through a couple of things we're talking about today. We've cleared Act 1 for Chris because he always has such hot takes.

Just FYI. Act 1 has been cleared. I feel incredibly honored. When we get to act two, we're going to talk about Lev Parnas, who apparently has handed over some receipts. No, not just paper receipts. Apparently there are photographs.

Photograph receipts, yeah. There are video tape receipts, video recordings, and audio recordings that he has handed over to Adam Schiff. We don't know a single thing. No, what it is. So I just want to do an overall impeachment recap. I'm hearing a lot of people being like, OK, well, where do we stand now that that happened?

Now that we had all that testimony last week, where do we stand? Now that we had all that testimony last week, where do we stand? We are going to look at the candidacy of one Michael Bloomberg, because we checked in on it when it was just a rumor, but now that it's been made official. One is just a twinkle in a billionaire's eye. Yeah. It's being treated like it's different than, I don't know, like the other candidates. Like this matters. Yeah.

Him coming in last second is not a laughable attempt by a billionaire to protect the money of billionaires. We're going to look at the fate of Adnan Syed. We're going to look at Frozen 2, which shattered box office records over the week and all that more. But first, Chris, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Well, we've been through a lot here on Daily Zeitgeist with these search histories. Mud larking, from mud larking to magnet fishing to cold starting cars to...

I'm running out of weird... Interests? Yeah, but I did stumble across... You're like, I only have four interests. I did stumble. It's kind of true. I'm running out of weird interests yeah but I did stumble across you're like I only have four interests I did stumble it's kind of true but most of my interests center around like finding shit so like finding

archaeology stuff first of all just a shout out to the Curse of Oak Island which is just kicking ass and I just have to say I think they're going to say, I think they're going to find something this season. They're going to find something this season. I'm not kidding. And I don't think anyone's paying attention, and they're going to shock the world.

Anyway, that's one thing. Yeah. Michael Bloomberg, where do you stand on the Curse of Oak Island? That's what we want to know. Yeah. No benevolent billionaires involved. Actually, that's not true. Those guys are both rich that are doing the excavation.

The only reason they're able to do it is because basically they are. It's like self-funded. They are benevolent billionaires involved. Actually, that's not true. Those guys are both rich that are doing the excavation. The only reason they're able to do it is because basically they are- It's like self-funded. They are benevolent billionaires. Yeah. Yeah. Who are hung up on treasure instead of like whatever the-

At least they're hunting treasure than like boosting the price of prescription drugs. Exactly. Instead of like whatever Michael Bloomberg likes to do. Like, you know, I don't know what he does.

Stopping for it. What does he like to do? He just stands around. I mean, he stands in a suit. Harass black and brown people. He has good posture. Talk about women having nice asses. Yeah, I wonder.

Yeah, probably. Probably sex stuff. That's a legit anecdote from somebody who met him once. They went up complimenting him about his gun control, and he ignored the compliment and said, would you look at the ass on that one? Oh, my God. Yeah. Okay, so at least these billionaires-

Built to be president. And they're not billionaires on Oak Island. They're just like millionaires or something. Yeah, and they're getting help from History Channel. Which is a huge difference. History Channel's giving them a lot of money. Right. But they've, man, they got big equipment on that show that I can't even imagine.

They're working with those History Channel billions. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So actually, yeah, I probably think that, I don't know much about business. So I think the History Channel has billions of dollars. So the thing I thought of was I was going through these search, you know, looking for archaeology or whatever. And I found this guy who called Cincinnati Picker, who is a guy who goes to like, well, we used to call them tag sales when I grew up, but like in Connecticut. But like in the Northeast in the 80s, they were tag sales with their yard sales or garage sales. Garage sales.

It's a guy who goes to garage sales. It's a guy named Cincinnati Picker who goes to garage sales. And I think he has a lot of nerve giving himself such a fancy title. Because honestly, he's just a guy who goes to,'s a regular very regular uncharming dude who goes to tag sales or yard sales and just bitches about prices says stuff to little people like like like like the lady he asked this he's like okay i saw this baseball like and he's leaving he like left the yard sale like he'll have a little clip of the yard sale, and then it's just him in the car bitching.

So he's like, oh, yeah, I went to this yard sale a minute ago, and he showed a little footage. Or no, he cuts it, so he edits it. Imagine editing yard sales. It's a golden age. I've talked about how underrated YouTube is. It's amazing. When in the world, history, could you ever imagine

watching a regular person go to a regular yard sale as entertainment? I mean, imagine. Yeah. So he leaves this yard sale, and he's in the car being like, well, that was ridiculous. This lady had this beat-up pamphlet that was like an old – it was a vintage baseball like – Program. Yeah, or like a schedule from like 1977 or whatever, and I wanted it, and it didn't have. I wanted it. It didn't have a price on it, so I asked how much it was.

I expected it to be 50 cents or something because the binding was torn off. She said $5. I was like, no thanks. Then he showed a clip. Then he edited a clip. He said it right to her face, too. He's like, how much is this and she's like oh five dollars and he goes yeah i'm not gonna be getting

that like he's like starts goes direct to camera he does yeah he does like uh in front of people it's like he's harassing the owners of the yard sale and the owners of the yard sale anyway he he he but then he also in the same breath he he's like, you know, I, I like, he's like, it was a, it was a, the binding was torn off, you know, but I like those sort of things. Like I'll throw it in a display case at home. So what do you mean? As you do.

I don't understand. Like, it's like, it made me mad because he also was like, I really wanted it. So like, why couldn't he pay $5 for it? Right. $5. Cause he knows what it's's worth it wasn't even the big red machine team didn't even have a price on it because it wasn't even johnny bench or pete rose there's one video that's titled she wouldn't even give me a price and it was just this lady that he was mad at because she wouldn't throw out a price on some air conditioner or something. Anyway, it's a very – I don't know if I recommend that as much as – I just like the idea, though, of someone – of watching low-stakes haggling take place at a yard sale

and cut together like that. No, and he's never, as far as I can tell, happy. It's just all about him just being glass half empty. From what you're saying, it sounds like he's never going to find a yard sale where an item he thinks is priced properly. He thinks everything should be free. He really does. Oh, this Swarovski punch bowl is $30?

He goes, he's like, that's the last estate sale I'm going to. So he talks like a male version of a woman who's like, I need to speak to the manager. Oh, yeah. Except he's speaking to the manager of a yard sale's like, I need to speak to the manager. Oh, yeah. Except the yard sale version. Except he's speaking to the manager of a yard sale, which is just a regular person at their house. Yeah, it goes to someone's house.

The premise is valid because anyone who's watched Antiques Roadshow is like, man, what if those dudes weren't polite? Right. What if they were just like, I'm going to shit on your dreams. I'm going to shit on your personal sense of worth. But they're different. What is valuable. Right. But I guess like those guys are like historical, like a vent,

like antique assessor appraisers. And this guy is some dude who's just like Cincinnati picker. He's just mad. He can't get everything for free. He goes into these. Are there ones where he wants to pay nothing for everything. And he's mad. If anyone says anything's more than a dollar.

Has he ever done something? He's like, Oh man, I hit the mother load today. This great prices, great stuff. That's the thing. I don't think so, but I haven't gotten deep enough into it. I mean, but the main thing with this dude is that for some reason he thinks that he's smarter than everybody in the world about prices.

And he thinks that, I don't know, he just goes to sales so he can be mad that everything's not right i don't know how to describe it might not even be that he likes the things there it's almost like the venue gives him the opportunity to activate his outrage yes he wants to get mad he goes to these shows oh oh this is what i was going to say okay so um by the way i don't know if you guys missed it but we had to cut because i had a cold brew like my brain actually wiped he said i've had this happen like no he looked out the window and he said, are we on the Millennium Falcon? Because lights are starting to streak past me.

I've dead seriously had a brain wipe, a cold brew related brain wipe. And I just had to have a hard boiled egg. And now I'm back. Welcome back. It's three hours later. If anyone's wondering what it's like to be 50. So yeah, so this guy, like someone said,

what is this guy like giving you tips for? This is, like, I shared the video. This is the thing. I shared the video, and then someone said, hey, what's great about this also is it's a service that's not necessary because these sales will never happen again. It's not like you can go in now prepared to this fucking sale in Cincinnati, And now you'll know what this lady's like. Right. Right. Like, oh, well.

It's done. Yeah. And, but it's not even clear what he's trying to accomplish because clearly he wants to get mad. So it's like, listen, if you want to get mad, visit this sale in Cincinnati and try and buy this pamphlet. And also a time machine because it happened last month. And yet he has 80,000 subscribers.

Yeah. so there's something that he's getting at like he's not funny or anything right i think part of it is probably like the i'm sure there's a an entire audience at home like when price is right is happening and the whole audience is shouting at at the person who's trying to decide what to bid, I'm sure like 50% of the people at home are watching it and shouting at the people at home and then being like, idiot, when they get it wrong. So maybe that's like his target demo. Oh, he paid a dollar for that frozen yogurt,

shaped like a Cincinnati Reds batting helmet. Yeah. It's somehow taking toxic masculinity and running it through somehow it's somehow taking talk like toxic masculinity and running it through a yard sale um what is something you think is underrated underrated i would say um um oh god here we go again underrated is um therapy okay. And I'll tell you why. Because... Yeah, I'm on the fence about this. Just because you go to one therapist that isn't good doesn't mean that you should never go again.

Yeah, right. It's like restaurants. I'm tired of that. And I got a thing for it. If you go to the barber and you get a haircut that's bad, you go to a different barber. You don't just cut your own hair for the rest of your life fuck it i'm gonna let it get matted yeah so i have to listen to people's problems all the time and as a therapist and they yeah as a fake therapist that they prefer because

i don't give them the hard truths right you know that's the fun thing about talking to your friend is they'll never tell you that you need to go to rehab because you go on, you know, it's a little touchy. Sure. So you can beat it. Really? It's like, my life isn't going well. You know,

well, Chris, Oh, what are we going to, what am I going to do? And I'm like, well, number one,

I'm thinking is you should stop smoking pot all day. Every minute. Right. Uh, would be one thing, but I can't say that. Cause I know that'll make you flip out. Yeah.

Hold on. I totally do this in confidence. Yeah. So it's like, you can't do it. So they just get to complain, basically, kind of similar to the Cincinnati picker. Right. And I just have had a great experience in therapy this week, and I've been to a million different therapists, and I went to one that told me I should go to church.

And I didn't just say- Are you religious? No. Or they just assumed for you? I was a maniac. Anybody can become a therapist i mean you know it's i'm just saying like go to you should go see despicable me too everybody has that story i went to therapy one time and it sucked so i'm never going again i'm gonna suffer for the rest of my life i went to a dude once who was like an undercover pickup artist i think like the way he was like explaining shit

to me like back about like relationships i was having was like so off like even at the time i was like this dude does not know what he's talking about we're having relationship troubles uh she nagged you no she's like wait a second like when you have sex is she on top that's why dude you feel powerless because the woman's on top she's dominating you wow he actually sounds like a good therapist but i don't know about that dude i'm like i have like other shit tied to like past like my top she's dominating you wow he actually sounds like a good therapist but um that's interesting i don't know about that dude i'm like i have like other shit tied to like past like my like upbringing he's like nah nah dude no forget all that you gotta change up the sex positions right

and then come back and describe them to me yeah put it in the back put on video also there's a way you can videotape it it'd be even better but i went because he had like these interesting modalities, like using light therapy. I was into all kinds of different things like that. And that was the one thing that was partially effective at one point, was sort of using this light therapy to sort of open me up, my subconscious a little bit.

Oh, like EMDR? The thing that goes back and forth? Yeah, yeah, that you wear the little light mask thing. Oh, I didn't do that. I had a lady who was very old who did it for me and we had i had like the world's oldest set of walkman like i had original walkman headphones attached to some with like the radio shack foam ear cups incredible i felt like i was uh in an arcade uh in 1983 but that it was uh you look at a light that goes back and forth yeah yeah and it gives you a meditative yeah so you close your eyes so

even through your eyelids like it's just sort of yeah it's kind of cool yeah i actually it's maybe even more than kind of cool like it it apparently helps people with like serious trauma it's this light therapy it's called the mdr yeah so therapy is uh you know i i've i've had bomb therapists you know like go to church one guy you know that's a that's a no i didn't go again to that guy like i'm not going to church i went to church when i was a kid i was a freaking altar boy uh you know that's part of my problem you were an altar boy at the time yeah an altar boy now chris i'm just saying man he's like maybe you should become an altar boy i was like what i'm 34 years old uh so that therapist and there was another therapist Who wanted to jam

Like he found out I played music And he was like Oh no Yeah he's like I play guitar You know and that's when The therapist is like I play guitar too

It's like no You're not being What kind of guitar you got I got a Les Paul Sunburst Reissue You know The Epiphone one The original one

Of course it's a fucking reissue You're a therapist You're not gonna have an original Oh wow There you go Let him know Wait Had he had an original You're like hold on doc Hold on Original Sunburst You're a therapist you're not gonna have an original oh wow there you go let him know wait had he had an original you're like hold on doc hold on original sunburst you're a hobbyist you

know like you're like therapists whatever they want to get together and jam you know if you have a therapist that wants to jam like constantly he's like so what do you listen to i'm like i'm not paying you to talk about nirvana exactly you're like hold on therapist what are you listening i talk about nirvana in my private life, nonstop. Right. I feel like the therapists who are interested in stuff like, you know, Nirvana or sexual positions, which like could be an interesting, like it's almost like they're analyzing your life like it's a film. They're like, well, the symbolism inherent in that. Like I even feel that way about Young, sort of. Like a like a lot he has like really really interesting things to read about but then

i don't know how young carl young okay when you just said young i was like uh nick young nick young swaggy p uh no yeah carl young like has all these like interesting things to say about like dreams and like these archetypal like things that show up in our dreams but i feel like how interesting something is and how effective it is at like helping you in your life are not like related well this dude just jumped to the sex position thing like out of me being like i don't know i feel like i'm getting in a pattern with the women i date like i'm not like they're always on top he's like are they always on top dude yeah are they models i not like... He's like, they're always on top. He's like, are they always on top, dude? Are they models?

I'm like, what? He's like, you want to go to a bungalow later? I'm like, what? So there's a lot of reasons why a therapist can be bad, and that's my point. My point is just that therapy is a great service, the same as a barber, the same as a fireman. It's just a service. It's not... There's levels to it yeah and and and if you go to one that wants to jam with you or you go to one that that wants to

know what sex positions you do then you don't go to that one anymore and you go to another one but then that you don't just talk to your friend for the rest of your damn life because you're never going to get the hard truths you're never going to get right and you're not serious about getting better if you're just yak to your friend about your problems, that's what you want to do. You just want to talk. Now, back in my day, your barber was your therapist. Right, right.

I can relate. Fireman was your bartender. That's like dust bullshit. Firefighter. Are you here to fight a fire or give me therapy? What is something you think is overrated? Overrated, I would say definitely the Cybertruck truck which has made me very angry um from what aspect you're a truck guy you're a polygon guy i'm not i'm just like i'm just like that is seriously this stupidest looking thing i've ever i mean that is the dumbest that's

that's a five-year-old's idea of the future oh yeah i mean what the? It looks like a car I drew as a kid. He actually made it. The launch party looked like a rave in Bosnia in 1996. I mean, it looked like a human trafficker's birthday party. Something was going on up there. I mean, I cannot believe the aesthetic. What is that aesthetic? Anybody also who follows my Instagram would have noticed that I took a picture of that, whatever that, you know, like he's on the cutting edge because he hired some graffiti artist from 2004 to make that Cybertruck thing that looks like a death metal logo.

I fully checked out. Oh, well, anyway, I did a thing where I crossed out and put toxic masculinity. I'm obsessed with toxic masculinity. Well, it's a big part of my life. It ties into therapy, too. Who threw up this tag? It's like not even. That's what I mean of my life. It ties into therapy, too. Who threw up this tag? It's like not even. That's what I mean.

What is that? It was meant some famous graffiti artist did that graphic, that text. I guess. I don't know. Unless Elon Musk did. He could have. Maybe Grimes did it. Probably.

Whoever threw that up, they're a toy, bro. Oh, I know. I don't even know what that means, but I like it. I know you're a toy. You're a toy. You're not even an OG in the game. You're a toy, bro. I love that.

Yeah. Okay. Well, anyway, the Cybertruck is a, here's the thing, you know, it has to go on regular roads, which ruins everything. It's going to look, it's not a Cybertruck. I can't believe he called it a Cybertruck. It's a truck. I mean, it's a regular truck.

Cybertruck is like if you were a showrunner for a kid's animated show about space police. You'd be like, and then this is the vehicle, the Cybertruck. I just don't want to let it slide. It looks like R2-D2's butt plug. It looks like... And the reason I brought up toxic masculinity is that I really do feel like, you know. Not because you said it looked like R2-D2's butt plug. Well, just that it looks like, I mean, it's going to be easy to identify pieces of shit from now on if they're driving a goddamn Cybertruck.

Is it the body shape? Like, what's the most offensive thing to you? It's the aesthetic of it? Or is it the name? Because it seems like there's many things that are upsetting to you. For me personally, it just looks like the design is regressive to me. It's not going anywhere. Yeah, people have made good points about it.

Like, instead of like, okay, I'm not going to make that tunnel that makes us get to the airport faster or whatever. And we're not going to be on Mars for a while. But in the meantime, here's a 1984 video game version of a truck. Here's a triangle. I just think it is not... The last thing we need is... We need more realism, not more fantasy nonsense.

We need affordable housing, not cartoon trucks. Oh, wow. So it's more of like the- That are launched at a sex rave. I mean, what the fuck? I just was outraged. The whole thing was-

And I just don't want to let it slide. There's a grown man that gets celebrated for being a genius who put out a cyber truck that looks like it comes from Zaxxon, the ColecoVision Zaxxon. I mean, I just don't think that's acceptable or exciting. Right. It's an electric truck. It's still a truck. It still goes on roads.

Yeah. We don't need roads. We need to walk and ride bikes. Not where we're going. Yeah. Wait, who? Where are we going? Back to the Future reference.

Oh, okay. Back to the Future 2 reference. Sorry, Doc. Oh, actually, that ended back to the Future 1. Okay. I like that. All right, anyway. Double layer of check right there.

Anyway, Cybertrucks. Fuck Cybertrucks. Come on. I like that, yeah. Just a regular truck. More of a commentary on societally like where we're at. It's a regular truck that looks like a fucking... It's just to me that the Cybertruck is just the silliest thing.

I don't think you should get away with calling any... No one should be able to call anything a cyber anything. Right. Wow. And the overall connection to... Cyberpants. Unequivocal in that, huh? I mean, mean cyber pants it's a stupid modifier from the 80s it's ridiculous like when everything was x or 2000 yeah my cyber fanny pack yeah x-pack oh my cyber food right my cyber sandwich what's what's cyber about it it's shaped like a missile

shaped like a cartoon to be a missile sandwich look it's cyber about it it's shaped like a missile shaped like a cartoon to be a missile sandwich look it's cyber i have a sandwich shaped like a robot it's a cyber sandwich uh what is a myth what's something people think is true a myth to be false a myth is that uh this i fucked up my list because i was supposed to say the myth was uh that therapy was not good um uh but instead i'm gonna say that the myth is that the song Boys Do Fall In Love by Robin Gibb is a bad song. That's the myth. It's actually a good song.

From the Bee Gees? Yeah, Robin Gibb made a solo record that, speaking of fake, it's like the other thing about cyber trucks. People think that the future has arrived so many times. You know, every generation is like, the future has arrived. Boop, boop, beep, bop, boop. It's like so dumb.

And in 1981, or I have it all on my phone here. I've actually prepared for this part of the segment. So Robin Gibb put out a solo record in, let me see what year it is. 1984, of course. Right. That was a year that people had decided that the future had arrived. Yeah, for like no reason. Yeah, because there was like a TRS-80.

Right. Or there was like a Commodore 64 or whatever there is. It was like, it's on. It's finally here. There's that Mac commercial. The boss, Dr. Rhythm. Yeah. The novel reference in the Mac commercial. We still have hemorrhoids, but the future is here.

That's the thing that annoys me, too. It's like, cure hemorrhoids first, then make a truck that looks like it goes in space. Hey, does that truck go in space? No, it goes on regular roads. Ah, fuck. How is it for my hemorrhoids? It's going to fuck them up really bad. Ah, what the hell.

No shots. Also, I do not have hemorrhoids. Okay. Boys. Whatever you say, doc. Sure, sure, sure. Okay, so anyway, the song boys do fall in love is like primitive electronica

which I'm sure at the time they thought was like probably the best electronica that was ever going to happen because they had a synthesizer and it's off his third solo record secret agent he's on it posing as like the same aesthetic as Elon Musk's cyber truck launch like some kind of Bosnian drug lord

or like... He's dressed like he's in Back to the Future, but he's serious. Okay. So this song is a great song. Okay. It's called Boys Do Fall in Love. No one knows about it. Should we ride out on it?

Oh, it's so good. Yeah, if you can. It charted... This is my favorite thing. It went to number 13 in Brazil. It went to number 13 in Spain, it went to number 13 in Brazil, it went to number 13 in Spain, it went to number 10 in Italy, and it didn't really do much in the United States.

So I just love the, oh, South Africa, number seven. I love when things hit in certain cultures, you know what I mean? People in South Africa are like, now this is music, or whatever they talk like. I think that was it. Now this is music. Finally, the future is here. Look it. Now that's what I call music.

Robin Gibb is dressed like Doc from Back to the Future and this music is very electronic. It's here. The future is here. 1984. Cyber music. I've always taken 1984 South Africa as a thought leader. Cyber music is here. We should be viewing things.

Finally, cyber music instead of regular music. Right. So anyway, he just says, love is a game you play in high school. Girls know how to be cruel. Most of the time,

girls are cruel to be kind. So don't cry now. Oh, don't cry now. And we try to be cool as we dance in a crowded room at the end of the day making love to a paper moon. And she said, boys do fall in love.

They make time. They get love on a Saturday night. And she said, hearts beat as they dance in the street to a radio. Oh, oh, oh, boys fall in love. So part of the future is gibberish. And making love to a paper moon. Yeah. And that's it.

And thank you for bearing with me. We've all been there. All right, Chris, that was a pleasure. It's yet to be determined whether we can ride out on that. Miles appears to be making up his mind. Oh, it's fine. We'll have to put it before the triumvirate of music deciders. It doesn't matter.

Just go check it out. Everybody has a, you go find a boys do fall in love at all. It's a great song to exercise too. All right. Uh, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life.

It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120.

She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the

review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football,

the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church, and then a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app,

followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these... We thank Latin culture.

Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network.

Available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And so, Miles, you're telling me that Lev Parnas, Rudy Giuliani's... I'm telling you. You're telling me that this guy, Lev Parnas, is handing over the receipts? He's got to hand them right over. So what is this report based on? So Lev Parnas, obviously, he's the buddy of Rudy Giuliani, him and his other guy, Igor Fruman.

Right. And they've been indicted for an illegal money laundering scheme or funneling money into PACs and things like that. And what we do know is that he's indicted. He probably also does not want to go to jail for a long time. And we also do know that he has relationships that go into the White House. Yes. So presumably he may have something of value to trade for immunity or a lesser sentence.

But he would never stab Donald Trump in the back because they're best friends. They're best friends until he was arrested. And Donald Trump said, I'd never heard of him. I don't know him. I've never seen him before in my life. I would never stab Donald Trump in the back because they're best friends. They're best friends until he was arrested and Donald Trump said, I'd have never heard of him. I don't know him. Never seen him before in my life. I would never know him. Even if he came up to me, I would say, who are you? Ever met you before? Have we met before?

This is entirely new. And that tends to be Donald Trump's M.O. Loyal to a fault, that guy. Yeah, loyal until he doesn't need you anymore. Yeah. But this time it really seems to have hurt his feelings it's said a lot of people well i mean first i do want to say when they when rudy giuliani's name was being brought up about how he might get thrown under the bus he's like well i have an insurance policy he like cleaned it up yesterday and was saying

oh what i meant was like i have a vault i have a safe full of like all kinds of bite and dirt for like four decades that's what i meant but they're like it came up in the context of you being thrown under the bus by the white house yeah but and if anything you would want to show this material would you anyway very confusing he also uh said that he like has a dead hand switch right that like if they kill him, documents will be released. Right. And he said my Rico case or something would be, I don't know. But he made it seem like he has the documents that would be released and the people who would be killing him are the mainstream media and the Bidens are going to murder him for some reason.

Just keep your ears to the streets, yo. him for i mean hey just keep your ears to the street so um but with with parnus you know the second that trump said he like just completely disavowed any knowledge or knowing him anything like that he basically turned and said okay well now i'm gonna make a mess and so uh they what's being reported is the house intelligence committee is in possession of audio and video recordings and photographs provided by lev parnus now the photographs could just be like those Facebook posts or whatever that was just him in the present where he's like, we very much know each other. The audio video stuff, who knows?

But at the end of last week, his lawyer was screaming like, hey, let my client talk to Adam Schiff. Like, he knows things. So, you know, we'll see. It's not a – we won't know till we know. And it could also just as easily be something where he's hoping this like little bit of information he's giving them will be seen as like a significant contribution to the investigation. But I think either way, it sounds like he's at least making good on his promise to say like, okay, well, if we're, if we're no longer on the same team, then I'll play like we're at odds. Right.

Until we get, I mean, really, it's just the biggest bunch of criminals all around on both sides. I mean, this is money in politics. Money in politics has resulted in this. I mean, until there's money out of politics, this is what you're going to get. You're just going to get criminals. And these are all criminals yeah and i don't know which it's just it's just um i don't know it's it's surreal i mean it's surreal that the fact that the whole investigation is now focused on the ukraine call but really there was this whole perry you you they were trying to make money off of installing their friends on the board of Burisma, which hasn't even really come up.

Like, and then in the meantime, there's so much illegal shit going on that, that like they can't even talk about it. It's hard for them to choose which thing to talk about basically, which thing are we going to talk about? That's illegal. Because the fact is like,

they can't in the context of them trying to make money off of installing their friends on Burisma's board, the fact that they're making a big deal out of Joe Biden's son making a lousy 50 grand a month on the scale that Obama's been paid. I mean, Obama. Giuliani's been paid hundreds of thousands, millions of dollars through corrupt Ukrainian. Anyway. Anyway. Yeah. You know what I mean? But yeah, I think it is. There are so many loose threads.

It's like, which one are they going to pick? But I think at the end of the day, just make the case. Try and get some of these people up, like Mick Mulvaney, or these bigger players in the administration. I would love it. Really try and put a bow on this thing. I would love it. So what is outstanding? What is left to be proven? to really try and put a bow on this thing. I would love it. So what is outstanding?

Like what is left to be proven? Because so just to recap what we've learned so far, basically we know what happened. There's all these different people who said anyone who was in the loop knew that Trump wanted a Biden investigation and was withholding aid. And they had been wanting this before even it was President Zelensky. Right. knew that Trump wanted a Biden investigation and was withholding aid. And they had been wanting this before even it was President Zelensky. Right. When it was Poroshenko, they were doing the same thing.

Right. So the only arguments against that and against impeaching him for that are probably the weakest, which is they got Sondland to say Trump told him no quid pro quo, like in a specific... Apparently he said that out loud, therefore. He said that out loud, but the thing that Fox is ignoring is that he told them to say that after he was already caught. It was after the whistleblower scandal had already started breaking. So he started putting the right things in writing. Yeah. No one who's like that.

He said it. Nope. No one who's not doing a quid pro quo would ever say, I'm not doing a quid pro quo. Well, you would, if you were like writing a comedy, like a comedic script about bumbling criminals,

it's like, and for the record, we will not do illegal money laundering. Yes. Anytime someone says I am not doing a quid pro quo out loud, they should be investigated immediately. The other argument is it's all hearsay and circumstantial. Nobody heard it from the president,

which I think that, so the alternative to that, to the fact that all these people heard this and, you know, had the same impression of the truth is that there's a vast conspiracy against Donald Trump inside the government, like from all these nonpartisan actors like including republicans so that if you don't want to believe the hearsay thing then you have to believe that there is a vast right-wing and left-wing conspiracy to have trump removed which is i mean that's that that's just too much that doesn't make sense just not how things work well you could also that's characterizing like an impeachment process as a conspiracy against. Yeah, right. I mean, it's not, you can, if someone does, there's always going to be some faction of people who are going to support a dictator, for example.

And they can characterize like a legitimate attempt to remove a maniac from office as an insurrection. I mean, some people will see it that way. Other people who are benefiting from Donald Trump being in office, which is like everybody who makes oil or whatever, you know, or he makes money from oil or there's lots of people who are really into Trump being in office. Yeah. We're making a lot of money. Yeah. And so to characterize everything that's like, I mean, this is just a rebranding of like a legitimate you know what i mean it's it's it's not an insurrection if it's right right but that's just a way you want to change things for the optics to try and have this sort of air of impropriety about it when the other thing the other thing that uh goes against that version of events where there's a

vast conspiracy is that the transcript or the doctor transcript that the president himself released has him doing the thing that they're claiming was only inside a conspiracy yeah it's not a vast conspiracy it's a vast reaction right yeah yes and an observation yeah it's not a conspiracy to say that shit is that shit happened yeah like that it's not a conspiracy to say that shit is... That shit happened. Yeah, like that. It's not a conspiracy. And it's bad. No, that's just somebody fucking doing a good thing. Right. And then the last thing is, fine, he did it. It's not great, but it's no reason to remove him

because removing him would be subverting the will of the people. And that's another disingenuous argument to try and paint this as... The other thing they've been saying, well, they're trying to re-litigate 2016. Right. And using the impeachment process to do that it's like no they love saying that but this is i mean they've completely checked out of reality in terms of like even being able to have people like career state department officials come up and say this is what happened this is my

area of expertise i'm not stupid right this is what was going on. And still be like, well, no, look, I don't want to get primaried or incur the wrath of dear leader. Right. So. But not removing him would be subverting the will of the people because that'd be us saying, go ahead and try and use your power as the president to fuck with the next election. To then subvert the will of the people. Yes. Yeah. So it Yes. Yeah. So it's,

but yeah, I mean, either way. I mean, I think that just, again, I think we know at this point, like I was saying,

just sort of like the fatigue of it. It's like, we know now, like, unless you're going to get some of these really big star witnesses who none of them seem willing to go up there. Right. Figure out how to move this along because I just, you know,

let's just get to the part where the Republicans completely embarrass themselves. The craziest thing is, man, they would have tried to impeach Obama for just this doctor visit thing that just happened. If they're just that by itself, if Obama had lied about going to the doctor and said it was the first stage of a physical, that would have been enough. I swear to God they would have made that. He lied. He literally had to do everything.

With Hillary, it was the same thing. Anything she, like, granted she fainted or collapsed at that one event. I think it was like a 9-11 event or something. And everyone's like, oh my God, she's got a brain tumor. Remember when we used to look at the tabloids and stuff? And even after the election, we're still being like, what about her health? Yeah.

She's dying. Hillary dying. Yeah. Being held up by a full body brace. And at the same time, now that the Trump doctor's visit happened, they all come together and say like, oh, that's so inappropriate to begin to speculate about the president's health. Oh, sure. Oh, really?

You'll speculate about his beige suit or his lack of a salute when he gets off the plane or whatever. Let's impeach him for that. I mean, Trump just got busted for spending money from a veteran's charity for paintings of him. I mean, imagine that would be the end of Obama. I mean, that would never, certainly there would never stop being investigations. It's all this just an absurd. That's why I'm so mad that Democrats won't like, I wish they would just be like, listen, we're in a great position right now.

Most of this nation hates this guy. Stop with this narrative that we have to appeal to the middle. This is the time of all times where we can go ape shit crazy and put up any Democrat. That's the crazy that wants health care for bugs. We can, you know what I mean? Like, and I, they're going to get get elected this idea that there's this well the pendulum has been pulled so far back you know like that moment when it's released that momentum has to go past the middle that we used to just yeah i don't i just don't see this argument that we need a centrist at all

no that's that those are takes from people who just want to make sure that there aren't massive taxes i think we're gonna clean the fuck. I think we're going to clean the fuck out. I think we're going to clean everybody. I think this next election is going to be a wonderful moment. I hope those Republicans are all going to eat shit. You're saying get your brooms out? I think so. To sweep?

I think so, and I hope so. I mean, I really do. I feel like people, the media narrative, of course, always encourages a horse race because it's more more tension filled or whatever i think all those motherfuckers are going to go because most people in this country think this these republicans are disgusting and also a lot of democrats and i'm not you know yeah but but in general the dem the republicans are just nakedly evil and and doing illegal shit and they're gonna go i feel like they're all going to fucking go. Cold Brew Profit. I hope they all fucking go. Straight from his lips. God, I hope fucking, oh, I hate Devin Nunes so much. And fat-headed.

Yeah. Fucking congressman impersonator. Did you ever see his high school picture? We were just talking about that. Someone had a tweet that said it looked like he got kicked out of the Cobra Kai for farting. These guys invent themselves. They put on a suit and they get a haircut. Oh, yeah.

And it's just like, look. You know, like they say, DC politics is just Hollywood for ugly people. It's theater. Yeah. Yeah. Devin Nunes, man. Yeah. And I thought he was, oh, it turns out he's, you know, he's not, he poses, he likes to

play up the idea that he's sort of like, he likes to give the impression sometimes that he's possibly Hispanic. He's from Portugal. Or his family's Portuguese. Yeah, he's like a, he's a rich kid from Portugal. He's not a, he's possibly hispanic he's from portugal or his family's portuguese he's a rich kid from portugal he's not a he's like he's just a bad faith actor makes me mad well speaking of uh democrats who want to believe that things just need to go back and we need a fiscal conservative social liberal. Oh, libertarian? Yeah, exactly.

Mike Bloomberg has officially entered the presidential race. Yeah, he's been there. What a clown. He – Piece of junk. I've heard takes from – so I assumed this would be – like Deval Patrick entered and it was just kind of crickets for him because. Not even.

What's less than crickets? Dead crickets. Yeah. It was like, so everybody gassed him up and was like, yo, we need you. We need a conservative Democrat to enter the race. And then he entered and it was, I don't know where those people went, but there hasn't been the upswelling, the groundswell. Yeah. But Bloomberg, I am seeing, especially from the mainstream media, aka The View, the women on The View were like, thank God we have an adult in the room.

Oh, The View sucks so bad. What does that even mean? There are plenty of capable people running right now. Oh, hell yeah. Thank God there's a, like – he's the oldest, right? Would he be the oldest or second oldest candidate? Is he older than Biden? That would be incredible.

Biden's, I think, the oldest ever. Mike Bloomberg is 77. He's just so pathetic. Oh, wow, yeah. Biden's 76. Biden is also – or just turned 77 yeah oh wow so i think just barely older but yeah i think when you look at it like that it's like yeah we just need this guy who's gonna come in and we like the obama era version of like what the democrat party was it's

like kind of very lukewarm nods to like improving things yeah right but never like full-on let's rock the fucking boat right and see what the fuck comes up uh i think that's the that's that's his greatest appeal and i think that's when you just see like the people in the view really show their ass and you're like really yeah are you really this mike bloomberg is the fucking he's exciting you what yeah what do they even think he stands for i've never heard heard it. I mean, what is, Bloomberg doesn't, to me, looks like a loaf of bread. He does not, first of all, I mean, like, again, if Jack and I were talking, like, if your parents start thinking Mike Bloomberg, if you're at Thanksgiving and you start seeing this shit,

shut it down immediately. I don't care what these people are saying on TV. Like, Mike Bloomberg is just absolute garbage. And is not actually worse than what Biden could be as a president, in my opinion. I think so, too. When you look at his stance, just as a mayor...

He's not even a real Democrat. He used to be a Republican. And then even as mayor, the stop-and-frisk thing was terrible, basically being like, let's give police carte blanche to violate people's constitutional rights to illegal search and seizure. Yes, that's something you cannot just apologize for. Right, right. Like five years later, be like, oops, that was a different brain I had.

Right, and when you look at sort of how it broke down, right, sort of demographically in 2010, New York was 23% black, 29% Hispanic, 33% white. 52% of the people who were stopped were black. Then 31% were Hispanic. And then 10% of the people who were stopped were black and 31 percent were hispanic and then disgraceful 10 percent of white uh people were stopped but the odd the funny part was on uh they found a greater share of whites that were stopped by police had uh weapons and contraband on them versus the black people they stopped so again he had like this dumb policy built on like stupid racist ideas of like right gotta check these black and brown people.

You never know what's going on. And then they were clearly using the color of someone's skin as a piece of evidence against them, whereas with white people, you actually had to be suspicious to get stopped. Yeah, they're like, this guy's got a bunch of white powder all over his face. He's trying to tell me he's a baker. Right, sweating profusely from everything. It's like, dude Dude your jugular is like

Blasting out of the side Oh yeah it's got this flower all over the end Oh man are you farting too? Keep saying woo and clapping I'm a baker? And then so not only that right So he gave his very stupid Non-apology for stopping first

Like that was a mistake But even then even in like around 2004, he was spying on Muslims in New York, like full on, like surveilling them at their places of worship, trying to like take note of like where people were wearing traditional clothing, recording people like at lunch counters

and things like that. All of that to not even find one bad person. Like they never even, it was just purely a you know uh in case anyone didn't check lately white people are our problem right really provably our problem yeah in terms of just you're talking about violent crimes just all kinds of shit we're not having a muslim problem we're having a white people problem or white fragility too on top of that yes i think but when you look at this right so this is the disposition of someone who's running for president whose idea to be like well what's we got a crime problem well let's start just uh you know frisking uh black and brown people on the streets let's start surveilling

our neighbors even if it's just based on their religion and again that's what i'm saying is like this that's such a tired ass you know biden era type way of thinking like well they're probably the problem yeah it's just plain old racism i i use it euphemistically called it bidenism no yeah but like you know i think that is sort of these are this is the kind of person who has no ideas right and they're the only thing that he can hang his hat on is like, well, I'm the 15th richest person on earth, I guess. Right. So I succeeded at something. Yeah.

Which is almost always exploiting some sort of inequality and just beating the shit out of the person who you're exploiting. Yeah. That's usually how you become a billionaire let alone a 50 billionaire whatever he is i just love that he's just never really come out he's never even had a policy how could you ever be happy like what does he stand for tell i'd love to ask like joy behar what the fuck she thinks he's yeah they said he's a fiscal conservative and social liberal but what are his socially liberal positions if he's like the architect or like he owns stop and frisk social it means he has a gay niece or nephew right if you have a billion dollars and that's fiscally

conservative you're a piece of fucking shit right yeah right period yes uh all right well actually well i don't want to tax it you know what i mean that's why that's right i mean it doesn't it seems like this is another example where it couldn't be any clearer if it fucking hit us in the face. The leading candidates are people who want to tax billionaires and then Biden, who seems a little shaky to people. Oh, you mean just in general his candidacy? Yeah, his candidacy. So they're basically like, okay, well, we can't have the people who are going to tax billionaires. I'm a billionaire.

I don't want to give away my money. I'm going to run. I'll run. Don't worry. I'm going to blow the wedge up. Right. We'll see what he does. But that's what it is.

You're starting to see because like between Bernie and Elizabeth Warren, they're clearly tapping into something. between Bernie and Elizabeth Warren, they're clearly tapping into something. They're just trying to throw any centrist, like Wall Street protecting Democrat up there. That's why I think everyone's really, especially like you see a lot of news being made out of the Buttigieg polls in Iowa, like just very narrowly focusing on that.

Right. But Buttigieg is no fucking saint either. People just, you know, I think at the end of the day at the people on either. People just, you know, I think at the end of the day, people on The View are probably, you know, in that same sort of like Ellen DeGeneres hanging with George Bush type world where they're like, you know, are things really that bad for other people out there?

But I think that's a bigger portion of the country than we probably realize. Well, absolutely. Because the country's older than the people that we generally interact with. And I think a lot of the older people who I've spoken to are like this Buttigieg guy. I'll tell you what. Yeah. Have you ever Googled them? I mean, like, have you done any work at all? It seems nice. Is that how far you're going to go? Right. Well, I think because those people actually don't face the sort of existential threats other voters who are voting on that basis. Young people got to vote. Yeah. Because it's for us, it like well hold on i don't be i don't want to collapse under the weight of my debt or

the terrible way the government is addressing like income inequality fucking housing problems and things like that versus someone who's like well i'm retired and i love you know everything's going pretty well i don't i don't see a need to like you know get some oh yeah talk to your old whites i mean i get thanksgiving yeah oh those shit and everybody else yeah old asians old blacks you never know people might have some bad takes on what who they think they who will actually push the country forward and if they're older you should be like hey you want to help me out with your vote right because you might peace out and fuck it in a few fucking years right oh god i know you can't that's hard to bring up to an old person though without them getting mad yeah right oh just that directly

like yeah you're gonna die soon i'm serious like piss your vote away on by i want so badly like it's so hard to talk to like my parents you know and i'm like you realize you're just as your last act you're just being like the most stereotypical old person like I'm gonna fucking I'm just mad I'm about to die so I'm gonna vote for a tyrant because it's more interesting or something. It's like I mean I love my parents and I hope

they never die. Every time I'm on Daily Psych I have to say this. I'm sorry mom and dad you're never going to die. Thank you. But you might die sooner than some people. Right. And hey, maybe use your vote for something good. Yes.

And like, you think you're going to hold back? You really think we're going to stay in Trump land forever because you vote for him? No. Things are going the way they're going to go. We got millions of years coming. Yeah. Well, unless the sun explodes. Right.

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit,

where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in France. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies. When civil rights said that we need to 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. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to

now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. from like what's the history behind bacon wrapped hot dogs hi i'm eva longoria hi i'm maite gomez our podcast hungry for history is back season two season two are we recording are we good oh we pushed record right and this season we're taking an even bigger bite out of the most delicious food

and its history saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these... We thank Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old the hot dog was.

Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And I hadn't thought of Adnan Saeed since probably a couple of years now.

Since 2014? 2014. When Serial came out? When Serial came out. But I had seen the occasional headline that's like, he's getting a new trial. He's trying to get a new trial. He's almost there. There's new evidence.

But it officially- It's done. It's done. Yeah. The Supreme Court basically said, nah. Yeah, in Maryland. Yeah, they were just sort of like, we're not hearing it. And again, in case you guys are new, unless, you know, I'm sure many of you listeners,

you only got into podcasts because of the Daily Zeitgeist. Right. So I do want to take you down a little podcast history road. 2014, there's a seminal series called Serial, okay? And it was about the murder of hayman i didn't know what you guys were talking about yeah they invented podcasts they invented podcasts actually they were like what if there was something we cast with these ipods with these poddingtons yeah uh and yes it was hayman lee was murdered by her boyfriend at the time on unsaid

and uh sarah koenig youig was trying to look into the case and find all these things. And it became an obsession to the point where there was like spinoff shows, documentaries, all these other things. So this has been an ongoing process because one of the big things they were talking about on the show was that his lawyer at the time in his original trial did not call or question this key witness, Asia McClain, who said she had seen Adnan in the library at the time the murder would have been happening and saying, oh, see, had we known that, this trial could go a completely other way. This woman is confirming his alibi. But the court basically had decided after reviewing it that

a different lawyer wouldn't have actually changed the facts of the murder case, which they believe proved that Anon was guilty. So they're like, you know what? It's a wrap here. Yeah. Close doors. I mean, I've – I never listened to that show. It's interesting.

It's definitely interesting. It's definitely interesting. It's very good. It's almost an exercise in like, I found him very like believable and compelling as a person to like hear, talk and plead his case. But the facts, like the further I got away from having listened to it, the more it's like, but yeah, he like, there's no way he didn't do it unless his French J did it. So it's like there's two candidates who could have done it.

I don't even remember. Well, because there's one part where like they both like Adnan takes J to the car that has her body. Oh, right, right, right. So either Jay's lying and he must have done it. Right. Or Adnan's lying because he knew where the car was that had her body in it. So it's like one of those two. Look, man, I'm going to listen to this podcast

and get back to you. Right. I mean, make up your own mind, but it's... Wait, have you listened to it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. That was a joke. You looked shocked.

You're like, wait wait have you listened do you know something we don't no i i i heard a lot about that podcast and i i just skipped it for some reason i mean it's it's you know it's it's a great true crime podcast at the time that like without knowing all the stuff that's out now at the time was like oh my gosh yeah they might really figure something out here i was obsessed in the beginning i was trying to figure something out here. I was obsessed in the beginning. I was too. Who was at that Best Buy parking lot? I get kind of mad if I miss something and then I get stubborn

about seeing it or listening. It's like The Sopranos or something. I never saw it. I'm kind of setting my way. You're missing out. I'm kind of crabby about it. Your FOMO turns to spite and resentment? I spite myself. I'm like, I'm not going to watch that.

Who cares about that? It's done. Because I'm like, I didn't miss anything. That kind of thing. Oh, you definitely missed out on The Sopranos. I know, I know. Serial doesn't matter. Mad Men?

Never seen it. Really? Yeah, only saw the first two episodes, and I was like, I can't do this anymore. I was drunk for so long that I never went to the movies or watched television. So I really missed a lot of stuff. Just a whole day. I never saw Forrest Gump, or. So I really missed a lot of stuff. Just a whole decade of stuff. I never saw Forrest Gump or I never saw any of that. Wow, that's a stretch.

Any of that shit in the 90s. From Forrest Gump all the way through Mad Men. Totally. That's a... Yeah, and then I got sober and I was like, wait. Oh, God, I got to catch up on my TV. Side note, Heyman Lee is my wife's Korean name. And they were born the same year.

Whoa. That's creepy as fuck. Jack whoa jack i know call the police yeah no i've been talking to the baltimore pd i think i think there's something going on here i don't have a wife yeah me either bro uh let's talk about frozen two topped the box office broke a bunch of records uh broke the streak of i didn't really think it was a streak or any surprise but like the past there had been a handful of sequels to big movies that didn't do very well squeakles even terminator 2 or no terminator 13 yeah other movies uh but Frozen 2 broke that streak.

That story finds a way, by the way, to make Disney an underdog. Yeah, right. They said we couldn't do it, have a successful sequel. So it broke all sorts of records, has an A-minus cinema score. The only word of mouth I've heard

is that it's much darker. There's also, it's being much darker there's also like a it's being drawn into the culture wars oh hell yeah uh because there's i won't get into spoilers but one of the snowmen can talk uh no that's actually one of the main characters but there's there's something to do with uh people and tribal ancestry and colonialism. Oh, shit. Like in a good way? I mean, they definitely trod some sensitive ground.

I haven't seen it, so I won't make my... Right, right, right, right, right. They did sign a... It was sort of a consulting deal with the Sami Council which is the tribe that is sort of being dramatized in the show or at least like in the movie or at least referenced and so like they had them consulting they wrote this sort of tribal background into the show and then the other thing that makes me suspect that they got it right is that the national review is really pissed off about it they're like oh it's been ruined by the first frozen was magical but this has just been ruined by uh historical accuracy liberal politics wait what is the but it's because they

bothered to actually like consult with this group that they're saying like oh what's next it's something to do with the story and there's like a twist where they have some sort of ancestry that's not pure spoiler alert yeah exactly it's uh and spoiler alert it's because there's a spoiler alert spoilers for frozen spoiler alert for frozen's because there's a twist. Spoiler alert. Spoilers for Frozen 2. Spoiler alert for Frozen 2. Get your babies out of the room. They turn out to have some sort of tribal ancestry. One of their, I think their mom, maybe?

No. Grandma. But they're white. Their mom has tribal ancestry, but then their grandfather is like a very colonizing colonial phase. So there's like all, both sides are brought in, brought to bear both sides in it,

baby. Yeah. And then in the end, they like believe they have to basically drown an entire village of people to like basically, well, the second spoiler alert, I took my kids to see the lighthouse did you no i don't have any kids uh do you guys see that movie no i don't even know what the

oh you know what the lighthouse is no i heard oh my god it's crazy oh really oh it's it's by the guy who directed the witch which i never saw, but named like Tony Eggers or something. His name's not Tony. But, oh boy, oh boy. It's not for kids. It's not for kids. Not for kids. Okay, good to know.

There's tons and tons of jerking off in it. Oh, nice, nice. It's like 19th century lighthouse keepers jerking off. Oh, right. So they're lonely. Yeah. Oh, it's crazy.

It's a great movie. I mean, it's also kind of not a great movie. I mean, it's also kind of not a useful movie. It's not a movie you have to see for any reason, except it's just nuts and fun. And Willem Dafoe kicks ass in it. As a 19th century... Oh, God, everyone's jerking off. As long as Dafoe loves to have dick.

There's actual dripping semen in the film. Spoiler alert! Yeah, and I saw it at the Monrovia movie grill, where they have teenage waiters and waitresses saw it at the Monrovia Movie Grill where they have teenage waiters and waitresses. It's a Monrovia movie. It's a theater that has where you can get a steak. You know what I mean? You're eating

a steak in the movie? You can order food. It's like a menu. It's like a restaurant slash theater. You can sit in a recliner and have a waiter come. I ordered a Pellegrino and a large popcorn. And watched Willem Dafoe jack off in a lap. Yes. And there's a man in it jerking off to suggestive scrimshaw.

Yeah. These guys had no porn. Right. He was jerking off to a piece of scrimshaw that looked like a goddamn mermaid. Wait, what's scrimshaw? Scrimshaw is whalebone carving. I feel like that's the- I just know the scrimshaw pilsner.

I just know a beer that has scrimshaw in it. Oh, it's whalebone carving. I feel like I'm having a 19 year old summarize this movie to me. He's jerking off to scrimshaw. They had no porn. It was the craziest thing. I mean, I'm not even kidding. Like, yeah, like you had to like, I mean, just, I just think about that. Like, anyway,

just what it was like having to jerk off with your imagination or like, you know, a plant that looked like a lady or whatever. Oh, look at that. plant that looked like a lady or whatever. Oh, look at that. Hey, stop hugging the lady plant. Ooh, that rock. Look at that.

Look at the ass on that rock. Yeah. So it was like that kind of thing. But anyway, I was sitting in the movies though and getting waited on. Here's your Pellegrino. And there's like a 50 foot man. Right. Screaming. Aye.

Aye. And like jerking off. It was very surreal. It was a weird place to see it. But anyway, I recommend it. Not for kids. Right.

Would you like some Bernays sauce? Frozen 2 kids or a lighthouse? Frozen 2. The National Review also says not for kids because it's going to give them ideas about colonialism. No ideas. Wait,

what do you mean? Give them ideas? Wait, okay. There's no ideas allowed. Kids are not allowed to have ideas. Yeah. Just get them a job at the factory. Come on what do you mean? Give them ideas? Wait, okay. There's no ideas allowed. Kids are not allowed to have ideas. Yeah. Just get them a job at the factory.

Come on. What is this? It'll inculcate them with your liberal agenda about how white people weren't implicitly right in everything they've ever done. Yeah, it's garbage. Yeah. But then rather than having to make a difficult decision, they, again, spoiler, save everything with magic. Oh, hell yeah.

Hell yeah. All right, back to Willem Dafoe jacking off. Was he like, were there interesting jack off techniques that you saw or was it pretty straightforward? No, it was just amazing. It's just, I mean, there's a scene where there's actual, like Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe, and apparently they did research, and it's actual, like, 19th century lighthouse keeper talk. Like, they figured out, like, Willem Dafoe does a great job.

They're like, a few tugboats came in today. But it's like. Tugboats. They just. He's talking about jerking off. Yeah. They just. Oh, I didn't even understand.

No, it's okay. So, yeah, tugboats. They're always talking about jerking off. They just... I didn't even understand. No, it's okay. So, yeah, tugboats. They're always talking about tugboats. And the two of them just go berserk from loneliness on this island. Right, right, right, right. But also that Willem Dafoe, I don't want to spoil it too much, but he's having an unusual relationship with the actual light. Oh, hell yeah.

And it's like... He's fucking... I don't know how, but there's... Hey, no spoiler. No spoilers. My bad, my bad, hell yeah. And it's like, I don't know how, but there's- Hey, no spoiler. Don't say it. No spoilers. My bad, my bad, my bad. It's the whole thing-

It's more than about jacking off, guys. The whole thing is nuts. I mean, there's no- Say that again. You can't really spoil it. Oh, no. So anyway, it's like- That's all nuts from both characters.

What's wrong with us? What's the funniest thing about Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson is that I guess they're doing like authentic, like 19th century masturbation. Like talk and they're constantly almost getting in fights because like they're like two just ridiculous dialects that sound violent. You know all the language

in the 19th century was like I was like you know like I'm from Portland Maine so I talk like and the other guy's from, like, Massachusetts, so he talks like, aye, aye, aye, aye. And they're always just having fun. They're trying to say nice things to each other, but they end up in huge fights.

I'm just picturing pure chaos, which, oh, it's so great. And jerking off. It's so good. I mean, you've got to see it. That was them jerking off. If you smoke weed, and I know certain people around this table do, I recommend, I wish I smoked if I was capable of smoking pot anymore

I feel seen, uh, some tweets I've been enjoying pixelated boat tweeted. Uh, so John Becker, you probably saw tweeted, please quote, tweet this with your most controversial food opinion.

I love controversial food opinions. And there were a lot of good ones. Taco bell is the healthiest fast food and people who claim it gives you diarrhea are being racist is one that I enjoyed. That one was from Crispy Scream. But my favorite was from Pixelated Boat who said,

you're fucking up if you don't eat corn in a manner mimicking the action of a mechanical typewriter and make a ding sound when you reach the end of the corn. And Katie Stoll said, really hoping they cover the Epstein stuff in future seasons of The Crown, which would be dope. Oh, one, I found one other tweet.

Jamie Loftus, she said, watching a 48-minute YouTube doc on the road to El Dorado, and this guy really wants to fuck the road to El Dorado. And also, at Jaboukie tweeted, if we can't have well-funded public schools or health insurance, can we at least have teleportation? Capitalism is not even hitting like it's supposed to.

It's so cybered the fuck out. You're going to think Kraftwerk fucked the Bee Gees or something, huh? Hell yeah. You're going to think the Cybertruck. What would you say? Aesthetically, for people who know music, how would you describe the palette? That's a lot of pressure. A lot of synths?

Heavy on the synths? I would say like leg warmers. Imagine Elon Musk with leg warmers on. Oh, God. Yeah, like aerobics. I mean, oh, God. Oh, God. Imagine Elon Musk as a spin instructor under black light wearing neon track.

Wow. What kind of instruments are we hearing? I always do. We're going to hear mostly keys and synthesizers and probably electronic drums. Oh, the drums are programmed, like MIDI? Yeah. I mean, it sounds like a video game. You're right. I should have known. You said Elon Musk.
