In California during the summer of 1975, within the span of 17 days and less than 90 miles, two women did something no other woman had done before, try to assassinate the President of the United States. One was the protege of Charles Manson. 26-year-old Lynette Fromm, nickname Squeaky. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.

Should we cancel it? Yeah, let's cancel coronavirus, you guys. Uh-oh. COVID, you're canceled.

It's Monday, March 23rd, 2020. My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. My, my, it's the Daily Zeitgeist. We got Miles Gray and Hosniye and Jackie O'Brien. That is courtesy of Picked Last in Zeitklasse. And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray! I'm quarantined, girl. I'm stuck at home.

But hey, hey, hey, I'm getting stoned. Thank you to that. Was, Low by Cracker? Yes, thank you to Rich Ramey for that, a.k.a. taking it back to the early 90s, or what, mid-90s? Mid to early 90s. Mid to early 90s? That was a jam. That's one of those a.k.a.s that when I hear the song, I realize, hey, I liked that song when I heard it on the radio and never again.

Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by our other co-host, Jamie Loftus! Oh, my darling, oh, my darling, oh, my darling quarantine. We are stuck inside forever. Gotta live your life online. Wow. That's a sad one. That's genius.

Country music can be very sad. That was at Water Chestnut to Walter Chestnut Jr. The Railway Cat. Mmm. That's one of those songs that will stay stuck in my head Jack, when you said it's Monday

I was like, or to some people, day 10 Day 10 Oh god, yeah Put another scratch in the wall in your cell Put another strike through those four tally marks How's everybody feeling this this fine monday morning i'm adjusting yeah i think it got yeah the the maybe around wednesday i was like oh uh and now i'm just trying to, I think, you know, realizing it'll be much easier if I can prepare

to make this normal. So now I'm doing that and I'm like getting really strict about giving like, you know, a little bit of structure to the day. Cause I'm like forgetting how to eat even. Cause like, I don't have those like normal things of like, oh yeah, we done, we're doing this. Then we usually have a call, then I go eat. So now I'm getting back to basics. Yeah, I feel like that used to happen to me when I worked from home and you need to give yourself some boundaries that you're going to stick to because otherwise it'll just work will bleed into everything else if you have a

job you like doing. Or if you have a job you like doing. Or if you have a job you hate doing. Probably equally true. Well, guys, let's real quick tell people what we're talking about. Aaron Paul is interested in playing Kurt Cobain. I hate that.

I'm talking about Aaron Paul. It's the news we need right now. Tax Day has been pushed to July 15th. Actual news we need right now tax day has been pushed to july 15th actual news we need um yeah but fuckery is continuing we have politicians uh who were dumping stock after they were updated about so it seems like this is something that uh was kind of a revelation i think thursday night was that it seems like rich people knew about this. Knew that shit was about to

go terribly wrong. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, they'll talk. They'll talk. I'm going to tell people to donate their gloves, masks, hand sanitizers to hospitals if they have excess any of that.

I'm going to talk slash just be uh despondent over the fact that trump's approval ratings are actually like ticking slightly upward instead of plummeting to zero percent like i assumed they would uh we are going to talk about how people are adapting uh a guy made an escape room on google docs and marvel revealed uh two new superheroes that uh i don't know see they have to be fake it almost seems fake it's so fucking absurd it seems like satire of like it would be a satire made by a very dumb person if it weren't actually real. But first, guys, let's get into our search history.

What are we searching? Oh, boy. I got bad news. I had to... You know everything? There's nothing left to search, baby. No, I had to search how to return a violin oh and you what what happened i got sent a broken violin motherfucker i know i saw i'm like

i i don't really know i mean i guess i'm looking for a zeitgang help because i'm like i don't want to like make someone come to my house and then pick it. I can wait for the choir to end to return the violin. I don't want to bug someone right now but I got, I ordered my violin and guess what? It was a piece of shit and it turns out that you

it was a left handed one so I got a left handed violin that was broken Can't you just, oh is that because oh we're the chin rest yeah you can't switch that i'm not on this one it was like locked in so we're just like restring it oh okay well that's fucked how much okay i'm sorry the more real present question how much did you pay for said violin okay maybe that explains some of what happened because i paid 42 dollars for a broken left-handed violin okay yeah i think you know anyway it's on me i rolled the dice and i

lost where'd you do your shopping uh you know i i hit up mr bezos saw what his cheapest violin was and uh had it dropped off and uh i had a brief, like I left out, I've just been like, for people who have been delivering stuff, I've just been like leaving out like a little snack package. And I was like, because he was like looking at me like, are you seriously, this is violin shaped. I'm like, yeah, I'm sorry. Necessary, the staples that we all need while in quarantine.

I have no choice. My only choice now is to be a professional ballerina, and that is going great. All right, Miles, anything you've been searching? I was searching Jackbox, because people keep talking about Jackbox games. Yeah, we were playing last night. I did not know what they are.

Yeah, I'm old. You've got to so yeah i'm old uh you gotta play with us so it's like a a survival box made by jack fm uh full of like axe body spray is what i'm understanding uh no it's from the you don't know jack guys correct yes yes and it's from the You Don't Know Jack guys, correct? Yes, yes. And it's actually, Jack, I thought you were, I was under the impression that you were involved in the creation of Jackbox. Right. Yeah, I was going to say.

It seems like you might have been excluded. When I met you, I'm like, wait, Jack from You Don't Know Jack? I was like, Jack of Box? Jack of Box fame? Of Box, not of in the box. Very different Jacks. But Jamie, you were playing these games last night? Yeah, yeah.

It was like a whole, I mean, yeah. Caitlin was there. Everyone was there. It was fun. Anna was there. It's like party games? It's party games. You can live stream them.

Zach and Anna were live stream them zach or i think is exactly anna we're live streaming them and uh you just like hook your computer up to your tv and click through to the link and then you can like play on your phone and then it's it's really goofy and really fun and it made us feel like we were with people it was so fun oh yeah dj dan he's saying uh think cards against humanity over the internet. That's about right. Yeah. I mean, it's also like all the games that they have are fucking really fun party games.

Like the one where you have to bullshit other people is one of my favorites to play because people who are not good at lying, their tells are so bad and it's just always fun to fuck with people. Fibbage? What is Fibbage? That's called Fibbage, Miles fuck with people. Fibbage? What is fibbage? That's called fibbage, Miles.

Duh. Fibbage. I hate Cards Against Humanity, but fibbage sounds fun. You love Crimes Against Humanity. I love Crimes Against Humanity. That's always been my preferred. Did y'all ever play Apples to Apples?

Yeah. That was a fun one. Yeah, that is a fun one. That's wholesome. It's wholesome and it's, yeah. I don't like cards against humanity because they say naughty things. I know.

That's where I'm coming from. I don't like it because they go blue and I don't like that. More like cards against Christianity. Yeah. That got me good. That got me good. I mean, yeah. Chainsaws for for hands that's a definite nails in the cross

reference there that card it's always it's always a wild oh man mensa used to use uh like there used to be certain mensa users that would use uh cards against you they would arrange cards against humanity cards to like make weird threats against me see i like the vibe i was getting off the guys in menta who were threatening you i'm assuming they were all guys but it seems like they probably were oh you know like that's sort of the the vibe that i got from cards against humanity like the people who love cards against humanity feel like they would be those people i can't say that the the writers the like people who write Cards Against Humanity feel like they would be those people. I can't say that the writers, the people who write Cards Against Humanity are awesome. They're in Chicago and they're really cool.

But the people who get too into it, perhaps a bit of a toxic fan base situation. Maybe I'm being too hard on Cards Against Humanity and we should not judge the creators of a thing by who their fan base is. The writers are nice. This is a guy who won't drink Monster because it has the mark of the beast. You're such a good Catholic. Oh, yeah. That's true. Jack, what's your Mountain Dew situation?

I'm out. Again? That was fast. Yeah. Yeah. What happened? No, those don't last very long. Oh, you're out. Not, like you won't drink more.

You just don't have any more. Yeah, I don't have any more. And it's hard for me to justify like leaving the house just for Mountain Dew. So it's going to be a while before you catch me in the deranged mode I was in the day that I was drinking Mountain Dew. You were, yeah, strong oh-wa-ah-ah-ah energy from you that day. Strong oh-wa-ah-ah-ah. Miles, anything you've been searching? Searching?

Let me think. No. No? Okay. Oh, actually, I was looking how long i needed to cook ground turkey because oh we got some of that yeah because it says you know 14 to 16 minutes but like i had that shit crumbled i'm like bro this shit is cooked but then i'm like they're like 14 to 16 minutes i'm like this is going to get fucking dry. So I had it at a nice medium rare.

And, oh, I'm sick. And I do not feel well. I just ended up making sure it fully cooked. And now it's fine. Where's everyone's poops at right now? Oh, they're great. Mine are back. I was going to say, now? Mine are... Oh, they're great. Mine are back. I was going to say, mine are getting better.

I think they're improving. I'm getting more vegetables. Yeah, I think it was mostly stress-based, to be honest. Yeah, it turns out we were killing it the whole time. Taking stress shit. I googled coronavirus beauty routine. I think that a lot of people are thinking along the same lines that I was of like, oh, I'm going to take advantage of this pandemic and get really sexy.

Right. So I found a lot of suggestions. All right, guys, what is something we all think is underrated? Because we all agree on everything now. Oh. Underrated coronavirus. Yeah. Still seeing a lot of casualness out of people with this shit. I'd say underrated grocery store employees and convenience store employees, or at least here, I mean everywhere. And shout out to all our to zeitgang who work um

work in the in those places but in california especially like when i got the push notification that california was like you can't you're not supposed to go out anymore cars were like our all of a sudden there was traffic on our street and we like we went to 7-eleven got the last case of white claw terrifying uh went to walgreens and but it was just like everyone working was like so like everyone was like i don't know in at least in our area no one was being a dick which is nice and like the employees were like fucking making it happen they were changing their gloves between transactions like there was just it was i was like there it was amazing yeah so under righted i feel like i i'm gonna go with underrated like all the

countries that have done a good job with like guarding their people against coronavirus. Vietnam has a country where the average earnings, like on a per capita basis is one 10th what the U S is, but they've managed to do a really good job of, you know, protecting their people from coronavirus spread, even though they're much closer to the origin. Yeah, but we're a richer country. Right, right. So we're number one we should be better right um in fucking fatalities yeah i feel like also underrated is if we had a competent

administration this would be another story that would just kind of fly under the radar of a lot of americans i feel like they'd just be like oh yeah it sucks another thing bad thing happened in other countries but because we have a just absolute clusterfuck of an administration like yeah it's it's bad yeah but shout out to all the countries that did a good job we're prepared another uh underrated I had was if you have them, watching your childhood videos. We started doing that yesterday. I have a mini DV disc of my 16th birthday party. Oh, wow.

I need to figure out how to digitize it, but I'm going to be dropping some hot clips. Some deep cuts and gems. Some deep cuts. There's a shot of my mom doing a slow zoom on my first slow dance with a boy in the church basement. She's narrating it. She's like, Andrew Stadensky, she was hoping for this.

Oh, no. Wow. andrew studensky she was hoping for this like oh no wow so brutal um so if you have like a fun home video my mom like she has the most cursed narration track to anything any life event she's wanted this for so long there's like four different formats that went across my childhood like started a vhs and then she switched to like mini dv tapes or whatever the fuck that was and then tiny dvds and then full-size dvds and so there she there's a lot of formats there's but it's like i've got time to digitize and there's so many fucked up things that happened a buddy of mine has a mini dv deck oh because we used to make so many fucking bullshit movies as kids on mini dv and like he's an editor that like he back when people still shot shit on mini dv had and he like dusted it off and we started digitizing all kinds of wacky shit that we were making uh but let's let's connect let me help you digitize that yeah

you can give us the cut with adult eyes birthday party super cut i really want to see that uh she's wanted this she's wanted this for so long you should that would be a good you start a youtube channel where it's you commenting on your childhood videos and then do one of those like cursed thumbnails where it's like

Jamie reacts and I'm like that's right baby Jamie tries what and it's just me with my jaw unhinged that's all youtube thumbnail yeah or you have you need the one like home alone with your hands pressed against the side of your face like why do those work i don't yeah i don't know. We all just can't stop clicking on them, can we, folks? An idea for an underrated, I haven't actually tested it, but the

last thing I want to try in this week of quarantine is I want to see if I could, if there's an easy way to watch them, I want to try to get into soap operas. Oh, I'm sure there is. Now's got to be a good time. I mean, everyone's home all day,

and we should all start watching the stories. Starting over. Yeah. Yeah, that might be our new reality. Yeah. Ooh, that would be fun. We all divide into gangs of people who identify by the soap opera that we watch.

Yeah, I'm young and the restless. Like Warriors style? I'm General Hospital. All right, let's take a quick break, and then we'll come back with our Overrated Myth. In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds. Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game.

Atari promised 150 grand in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. I mean, my reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful.

I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself, in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever

you get your podcasts. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.

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

I'm Danielle Robay. And we're the hosts of The Bright Side, the daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that is guaranteed to light up your day. Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us. Like our recent episode with dancer, actor, host of Dancing with the Stars, and now novelist, Julianne Hough. I feel really whole. I feel like the last few years,

I've really unraveled a lot, which is part of what this book is about. And I really feel so content, which is a word that used to scare the crap out of me. And I love that word now. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and let's talk about what's overrated, gang, shall we?

Mm-hmm. I'm going to say the Trump presidency's response to this pandemic. Is coming in with the dicks. I know. Hot. Spicy. I didn't think that it was overrated. I assumed everybody was paying attention,

but his approval on the blended average on 538 has gone up since the pandemic started. I don't know. But when did that poll take place? I mean, there's a couple day lag, so maybe that's what's happening. And also, I mean, I think if we look at how we are feeling it in only a handful of states, like Washington, California, New York, Illinois, those places are actively seeing their lives change dramatically pretty quickly, as is the rest of the country.

are actively seeing their lives change dramatically pretty quickly, as is the rest of the country. But I think once the rubber hits the road with a lot of people's jobs freezing up and the knock-on effects of the economy, I can't imagine it's going to stay up. But I don't think people fully appreciate how avoidable this was and how much his kind of resistance slash lack of leadership around getting testing out has really fucked us completely. All the sober-eyed analysis of just different countries' responses really drives home the fact that

they didn't want testing. They still don't want testing. At Friday's news conference, he was like, I don't think everybody should get tested for coronavirus. It's absurd. Again, there's no way to combat a pandemic like this without testing people and understanding where the infection is, how it's spread. I mean, I think we'll just have to continue to keep talking about this because that's the only way to really effectively deal with the situation.

And when you look at like, once the Chinese had actually figured out the genetic sequence of the virus and made that available, all the other countries, most of the other countries who had their shit together began making their own test kits because they knew how to you know find it based on the testing or the pcr testing and like reading i think there's like a new york times article that's saying like hey

trouble getting tested maybe you just live in the wrong country and it's talking about every other country like how they were just super on it and how we were basically a month or month and a half completely behind and just like i don't know we'll make our own and how we were basically a month or month and a half completely behind and just like i don't know we'll make our own and then we made fucked up kits that didn't even work yeah and i i think there's something approaching stockholm syndrome with the way that people are uh reacting to this administration and it is like being in under a wartime administration and that we're getting emergency briefings every day. And, you know,

war does, uh, kind of raise people's esteem for their leadership. But, um, if this ends up making him more popular, it's really, uh,

I don't know. He, he's been so massively incompetent and their entire administration has been so massively incompetent. And then their politicizing of it and claiming that the media is using it to harm him rather than just reporting the incompetence is really, I don't know, it's fucking mind-bending.

I kind of wonder, I think that that like wartime administration that's probably kind of close to what it is because i was wondering the same thing or like last week too where you found like i found a lot of people in my mentions like first of all not willing to hold that you know giving the trump administration more leniency in terms of like how little like how little and how they seem to know and we're doing and then in the same way around the like primary stuff with like well uh why didn't people just vote early like in in like being more willing to blame people um rather than the systems that are making things,

people, you know, making it impossible for people to live as normal. And I, maybe, and maybe it is like an impulse that's kind of connected to like, well, if I can't trust this system,

what can I trust? But it's like, right. Really would encourage everyone to shake that notion. Cause if you play, I mean, if you blame the people around you who are literally trying to avoid contracting a deadly virus,

that's some flawed shit. Yeah, I mean, people are mad at NBA players and celebrities, and it is frustrating that they are getting tested without symptoms, but at the same time, they're getting tested when people should be getting tested. We all should have been tested by now and all that should do is upset people that there's clearly problems with access to this testing based on your social class right well it's like at this point i know like three people that almost certainly have corona and cannot get tested for it and have been trying

to get tested for it like it's and i feel like that at this point like a lot of us know someone who probably has it and can't get the test yeah and yeah again i think even the the poll numbers may be up now but this thing really is still very abstract to a lot of people in the country um like in terms of like obviously people are feeling the the knock-on effects of the financial parts but i think you know there's still there's still clearly an element of denial people are in about this whole thing whether that's just kind of being like you know the vanessa hudgens is of the world who are like yeah all locked down but like honestly i think it's being blown way out of proportion you're saying that on day fucking three the natalie portman's of the world being like

yeah nothing to kill or die for oh yeah and everything's fine but i think even for other people when when you realize like oh fuck this is this is going to be the new normal for oh for you know anthony fauci said several weeks. I think he wanted to avoid saying months. So he opted for several weeks. But I think when that starts hitting, people are going to be asking questions like, why the fuck did it get to this? Like, what is going on? Like, and you're not testing people. And I think even logically, even if you're not the most scientifically savvy person and you're in a community where it's hitting your community and you're like, hold on, man, I think people are getting really sick and we can't test. That's I think we just need I think people are going to begin to realize sort of, you know, how this affects them, too.

And maybe public opinion will change. But if everybody could get tested, we wouldn't be stranded in our houses right now unless you had no like if you could be tested like that like you should be able to be tested then we would have you know people in quarantine who needed to be in quarantine but right now it's just we we don't know so everybody has to stay home and like that is directly attributable to the you know inbuilt problems with our healthcare system, but also just the complete fuck up by this administration. And also what I have to believe is going to be, you know, evidence that they intentionally withheld testing or slowed testing or, you know,

they specifically did not accept the World Health Organization tests because, like, because of some. Because why? Yeah, they didn't have any explanation why. Because why? But this is like anything we've seen with this administration. I have a positive, a posicom. Posicom. Okay, here's my posicom.

Maybe by the time this airs, I will disagree with myself. But I was thinking last night that I'm hoping, I mean, it's taking too long and it absolutely is causing more damage than it needs to. But this whole crisis is forcing basic social programs that should have gotten off the ground way sooner to finally happen. And so I hope that that will have positive long-term effects. Example being that there are like a bunch of companies, including Spectrum, that like they, I don't know whether it's just a policy they did or like legally they can't, but there are certain companies that you cannot pay your bill if you can't afford it, and they can't cancel your service right now.

But I'm sure they could just make it worse. I don't know. Right. that I said, which felt really like, I mean, I will not even speak of his name because I don't think he's doing as good a job as he should. But I did, like, I've tweeted at this guy a bunch, and this was the first time that I actually got a response from whoever's running that Twitter account being like, hey, where is this encampment located? Like, we are planning to do this, this, and this.

So, I mean, I don't know. There's, like, such a big homelessness problem in our city in particular, but now it's, like, this city, like, on a state and city level, like, both the mayor and the governor have had to commit to actually doing something which normally they just pretend it's not a thing that's happening and now i actually got my city counselor to respond to me and say hey we're bringing a hand washing station this weekend and we're having like local um most local uh like rec centers around here are being turned into shelters for a while so it's like basic

things that should have been done a long time ago that are actually going to be done now i hate i mean and i hate that it has to be something so horrible to get something to happen but there's like a the tiniest bright side in there maybe that's great one other thing that the internet our internet the fact that we have uh access to internet that won't drop you uh is overrated i would say because miles you keep getting dropped man something happens i don't know if it's my neighborhood or my router whatever i mean we work yeah but it's not it's not dire but we we did talk on last week's episode about how it seems like the internet quality is a little bit shakier than it has been. And in the Zeitgang Discord, they were talking about kind of an explanation for that.

like kind of an explanation for that. And that like when you look at, uh, general internet traffic around the world, it's up 5%, uh, within the U S during normal work hours, which isn't that much. Uh,

currently YouTube streaming is beating Netflix two times over the bandwidth consumption, which is pretty wild, but yeah, torrenting makes up as of December, 2019, about 5% to 10% of bandwidth. And we will give credit to PD Thorne from Zeitgang

for that little report. Oh, thank God. I just got an email. What's up? Taco Bell will deliver to your door. Holy shit. Oh. Guys.

Oh. All right. We're going to end this episode early. All right. So let's just cut that right there, guys. We're going to end this episode early. All right. So let's just cut that right there, guys. I'm going to go have diarrhea again. Diarrhea's back on the menu, everyone. It's back on the menu.

Anything else we want to say is overrated before we go to our myths? No. No? Maybe the internet thing and the fact that we can always have access to internet can be our myth and we can move right on to the stories of the day unless anybody had a myth they really wanted to bust i mean myth is one of the stories i'd like to bust i'd like to bust the myth that i was really waiting to dance with that boy at my birthday party. Okay. Well, you know what, Jamie, we need to see the tape first.

I'd like to say that I did have a crush on him, but, but the way that she said it made it sound like I'd had a crush on him for, for years. And I would say at that point, it's been a month or two. For so long. These wordy, overly wordy explanations just reek of the fact that you wanted that dance.

I just like to say it was a fairly new crush and it ended up working out in my favor. And that's great. But she really made it sound like I'd been wanting it for 10 years. Oh, okay. Well, you sound as nervous as some of these senators who got caught possibly insider trading.

As I seamlessly switched to my myth, which is that, and I think this myth has been busted since the beginning of time, but that these politicians give a fuck about you. And all they will do is exploit their proximity to power and information to only enrich themselves. Case in point, we're looking at four senators right now, possibly more, who dumped a lot of stock from around the time when they received a briefing from the White House on what to expect from the coronavirus outbreak. And then the following weeks as well. And these are Senators Jim Einhofe, Kelly Loeffler from Georgia, Dianne Feinstein. Di-Fi, why? You are such a woke warrior. She's been on notice for a while and this

really oh yeah puts the nail in the thing 100 she's like our susan collins but like not like to a lesser extent i think for for like progressives and liberals are like what are you doing diane and also richard burr who's the head of the intel committee who gets a lot of information as well. And when you just look at this, to put it broadly, these senators, it looks like, according to this timeline, on January 24th, had a meeting with the White House, a briefing on what the disruptions and what the outbreak could look like of coronavirus. And then those following days, some were selling in excess of $1.5 million worth of stock in businesses that were going to be negatively affected by this outbreak and the coming shutdowns. So on one hand, they're like, oh, I don't know. Like a lot of like Kelly Loeffler, for example, she said, you know, a lot of that trading is actually done unbeknownst to me, like that money's being managed.

But keep in mind, her husband is the fucking chairman of the New York Stock Exchange. So how the fuck is she going to go out of a meeting where she's heard, oh man, we're talking probably some disruptions to business, travel's going to decrease and be like, hey, you know that comfort in stock we have that that those hotel stocks you have i would dump them the fuck right now because they're about to be they're about to turn into paper um and then the irony is she didn't just dump stock that was going to be negative negatively affected she fucking bought stock in a company that specializes in teleconferencing that's wild it's it's fucked up it uh i mean

it's like it's the least surprising thing ever and it's just no these people need to fucking go to jail they need to be take all their fucking money from them this is fuck this is just completely absurd and this has been this happens all the time like Like Richard Burr, for example, he dumped a ton of hotel stock. But he's also one of the few senators who opposed this Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act, which was a bill that was put forward that explicitly kept lawmakers and anyone who worked for them basically being like, do not use any of this information you have access to to benefit yourself in the stock market. And Richard Burr was like, I don't know if we need that cut to this bullshit right now. And a lot of like disclosure forms show that Richard Burr is not like, you know, they say he's worth about $1.8 million and he traded or he sold around one

and a half million dollars worth of stock. So I think he was literally protecting his fucking retirement with this move, but they're all fucking, they're all singing the same tired ass tune of like, Oh, you know, this is just, it's weird.

I don't actually deal with that, but we need an investigation. Yeah. This is if true, this could be bad on one hand. Yeah. Maybe it is true that they don't know how that money moved, but I,

I don't know. I don't know. Seems I'd be very interested to, I'm looking forward to reading sort of the long read, deep dive journalism about other rich people who kind of seemed to know something was going on, like Bob Iger stepping down as the CEO of Disney

and everyone's like, wait, where the fuck is that coming from? Yeah. And it's like, when he did that, people's like, wait, where the fuck is that coming from? Yeah. And, you know, it's like when he did that, people were like, do we think this has anything to do with coronavirus? It seems to be a real problem for China and their Chinese theme parks. Cut to like two weeks later and nobody's like really thinking about that anymore. But it's it's really strange. It does seem like there might be also, in addition to covering their own asses when it comes to their investments,

there might be an information hoarding thing going on where they're like, well, we don't want to panic the public, so let's just keep this information to ourselves and protect ourselves while the world is ready to get just destroyed by a tsunami.

And then turn around and ask for a bailout. Well, there's definitely still... I feel like there's definitely still... It seems like over the course of a month pieces of what is a huge story like you're saying, Jack, have been kind of coming out and it'll all i don't know

like gang you know keep your fucking cork board attach all the strings we'll figure it out i mean it could be interesting to see how many people like jettisoned their golden parachutes like in a very explicit way if there's more analysis on like what kind of sales were made and movements within that one percent class uh yeah i would do you think do you think okay i was just thinking about the denver airport this morning because i'm always thinking about the denver airport you think people get ready to go to the denver airport or is that for a different conflict yeah i don't know all the well you know like there's all those conspiracy theories about the denver airport of like that's where uh that's where the rich people are gonna go when things

fall to shit and it's a whole right right right right oh i love these theories i read about them all the day all the time uh i thought you just meant you were talking you were thinking about the uh giant horse sculptures asshole uh did you see that that picture going around no have you have you seen that giant horse sculpture that's like terrifying and looks like it was specifically designed for a horror movie and it killed its owner what or and it killed its creator the the horse killed its creator. And also it has a fully articulated asshole. Wait, really? Next to like a very veiny like ball sack and penis. I love that scary horse.

I love Denver airport theories. I just like if you all of a sudden are like, oh, it looks like a celeb is in Denver. They're going to the airport. They're going to the bunker. This is the conspiracy theory I'll go down with. I mean, it would suck, though, to try and run away to a place that a lot of people suspected you were going because what happens when we're at the gates?

I don't know. I just know there's a bunch of Girl Scouts that say they saw the bunker in the 90s and then the Denver airport was like, oops, we shouldn't have showed you that. And now they just tell the Girl Scouts it wasn't true. It was a Chuck E. Cheese, actually. But you know how that went. So we had to board it up. Believe women, a.k.a. believe those Denver Girl Scouts.

All right, guys, let's take one more break and we'll be right back. All right, guys, let's take one more break and we'll be right back. In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds, Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised 150 grand in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. I mean, my reaction, shock and awe.

That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way.

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. Hey, fam. I'm Simone Boyce. I'm Danielle Robay. And we're the hosts of The Bright Side,

the daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that is guaranteed to light up your day. Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us. Like our recent episode with Grammy Award-winning rapper Eve on her new memoir and the moments that made her. It became a theme in my life, the underdog syndrome of being questioned,

of the, would they say this to a man? No, they would not. Like, why? That was one of those moments where you're just like, oh, wow, it was a bit shocking, but it didn't take any steam away or anything like that. If anything, it was more of the, okay, I'll show you.

No worries. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We are the four band. Your tween made you see. We are the four band. It's painful concert number three.

We are the four band. We're 519. We are the 4-Band. It's painful concert number 3. We are the 4-Band. We're 5 and 19. We are the 4-Band. Always singing on key. You love your kids enough to take them to see their favorite, uh, band. Love them enough to make sure they're buckled up in the back seat. Show them you love them. Keep them safe.

Visit NHTSA.gov slash the right seat. Brought to you by the national highway traffic safety administration and the ad council and we're back and uh quickly tax day has been pushed to july 15th um yep so i mean this is kind of i i do feel like this might also have something to do with why people are like being okay with the current administration because they are having to do things that uh you know make allowances for the fact that our world is totally fucked and since that is one of the only public faces people are getting, and that is what they're coming to associate it with.

Maybe that's the sort of thing that is making people view it more positively, but this is bare minimum shit. Yeah, and they're easing student loan payments for federally held student loans. So you read things, you're like, oh, okay, they kind of get it. But a lot of the stuff's really narrow, too a lot of like the you know mortgage payments being frozen or evictions being frozen some of those apply to just a really narrow group of renters um and owners so you know the headlines might look good but when you really deep dig deep into it you're like this isn't

actually quite and i think people will realize that when they when they hear something like that and they're like oh great and then when they apply for that assistance they're like i don't qualify what the fuck is this well yeah and again you have to like really read the fine print on stuff like that because there's a lot of things that like the headline sounds good and then you find out you are only eligible if you have coronavirus coronavirus or if you're living with someone who has coronavirus. And if you're just affected by it in a quarantine sense, the benefits don't apply to you. Yeah. And how are you going to prove that you have coronavirus when they won't give you a test?

Exactly. Uh-oh. Now it's like that gif with the black dude where he's like, oh, can't pay somebody's coronavirus assistance payments if I don't test them and they don't have coronavirus. It's such a good gif. Where is that gif from? It's from this British comedy.

I forget what it is, but yeah, it's from an English comedy. It's a classic. Also, a one-time payment of $1,000 or $2,000 is not going not gonna cut it it's gonna need to be monthly for as long as this crisis lasts yes um let's talk about aaron paul really quickly step away from this is just so funny to me because like well it's just funny there's like a headline right i think it's an av club or something where it says aaron paul is interested in playing kurt coain in a biopic.

And then when you like actually click the article, it's just saying that a few years ago, he said that he would like to do like maybe play Kurt Cobain in a biopic. Yeah. And that was like the whole thing. And I'm like, wait. So the source of this headline is referencing a years-old article in which he merely expressed the desire to play a part. There's nothing in development. Nothing's been agreed to.

But it's just like, I think it's just more indicative, too, of what's happening for a lot of writers, too, is events are dwindling to report on. Yeah. That now it's like, here's a new headline i don't know if you i don't know if you guys remember this but remember when like aaron paul was like he wanted to be kirk cobain anyway that's that part i just think aaron paul is the thirstiest b-lister in the mix there was a finger wag there but well he just like everything you every story about him is just he just wants to be talked about he wants to be kept top of mind he's like hey remember bojack hey remember breaking bad like he's he's literally he's i mean this is like a

little bit uh we live in a bubble but like aaron paul's out here with his fucking dog at the silver lake halloween dog pageant dressing his dog up in a breaking bag costume i think he's embarrassing oh wow okay so now we come back to sunny's knife costume sunny uh sunny's knife costume they wouldn't even they that he wasn't given a chance i'll say they were like i feel like that's the real cork board that the zeitgang needs to be working on how everything goes back to sunny's knife about sunny's devastating loss in the 2019 uh pageant they didn't even when they brought him out they were like and this is sunny as a knife i was like okay you don't need to say it like that first and anyways aaron paul and i think you know what the problem is that one of the judges was was dressed as joe biden and that's

the only reason now you if if it would have been someone that's why he tried to have sex with the guy yeah they're well and and i will say it all goes back to the costume the second the second most thirsty celeb in the past uh day of news is Aaron Paul thinking about doing something and I think demanding his publicist email someone about it. And second is Josh Gad front-facing cry video. You see that? Yeah. I have no patience for Josh Gad. none at all i'll allow it people who are going through some shit like i'll allow it i i find that much more acceptable than the uh imagine

video from last week i find i i think that it's going to be very hard to empathize with any celebrity solidarity video until you have it pulled out to a full shot and you see where they are uh it's one thing to have your josh gad front face crying video but then when you see frozen palace behind them you're like i guess i don't care if josh gad is crying right oh i used to get i very fair i okay that's my those are my two b well yeah i mean it's it's go off and i think that's like the pain like there's like multiple dimensions of the struggle and pain we're all those are my two B-listers. Go off on. There's multiple dimensions of the struggle and pain we're all experiencing where it's like the human

level, regardless of how wealthy you are, you're going to feel that. I think that's what Josh Gad's doing in his videos. There are plenty of us who also want to be sobbing too, but we're like, you know what? We kind of need to hold it together to kind of keep surviving here. It's tough when you look at somebody and you're like, oh,

you don't have survival on your mind more so than like the hit to your social life. And I think that's what I hope many of these people can begin. And even like myself in certain aspects, I just, you know, I want to be able to acknowledge how fortunate you can be to be able to do some, maintain some semblance of normalcy throughout this. Um, but yeah, and also think of other people too, and like what they're going through and how you can be a person who pulls somebody up rather than just sort of like looks down and is like, oh, that's fucked up. Not to be, uh, a gadfly, even though that is, uh uh what me and other gad fans consider ourselves uh call ourselves but uh it he does say that he's crying on behalf of all the people whose uh pain he is

you know empathizing with go volunteer at a food pantry motherfucker like i don't know sorry he is nothing if not an empath. I just want to say that. Do you remember when Rise of Skywalker came out and there was that very cursed marketing video of Josh Gad being like, Hey, I love Star Wars. Daisy Ridley. Star Wars is coming out. He's annoying.

Wait, is he in the Rise of Skywalker? I don't even know him. No, he isn't. He should have been promoting Frozen 2. But instead, he had his publicist email Star Wars. It'd be like, hey, Josh Gad would love to be annoying in a Star Wars thing. And they were like, all right. Who is he in Frozen? He's Olaf.

He's really. No. Yes. Yeah. He's a very talented voice actor. I will never downplay Josh Gad's talents. I just think as a human being he's so deeply obnoxious he also one of my favorite this was something on who weekly uh that they pointed

out but um who weekly did a search of josh gad doing um celeb rips and making it about himself uh on twitter and there's like there's like a murderer's... For the past 10 years, Josh Gad has been like, RIP so-and-so. I'll never forget when I met you. Oh, it's so... Well, yeah, that's the other talent we've seen.

The improvisation to survive we've seen out of people. It's like really honing that skill to make even this global pandemic very narrowly about yourself yeah uh and like export that but you know sure there's other way i think a lot of other people i think are just aside from josh gad i don't even know like i just hear that name and i never knew who the fuck he was defense forces out today no i just don't i'm like i don't even know who the fuck he is i'm like oh frozen never seen it and i'm like great in the book of mormon he was great in the ashton kutcher jobs movie he's

great and pretty much he's great in pixels he's great in pretty much everything but he's annoying much like aaron paul it's like how do we how do we bring an even-handed uh uh adjudication of josh gad's body of work on this show. Listen, I know a lot about him because I'm very fixated on how frustrating I find him. Yeah. Well, he's reading children's books to people or children's books every night on the internet. That's great. Well, that is a good thing.

I'm glad he's doing something like that. That is a thing that keeps offered uh on both from celebrities and from uh my children's teachers who i love and god bless them and they're the best but i like what why would we need somebody to read our kids books over live stream when we can like if because we're we're there when they're on the internet why why wouldn't we just read them the books i don't know that's confusing to me well it's also like would you want your teacher to read you a bedtime story i don't know i don't know yeah oh yeah that'd be weird one thing i usually i mean to be fair my parenting style is usually plopping them down in front of a

live stream of josh gad but i mean i'm'm glad Josh Gad's doing something for the kids. That's nice. Kids love Olaf. That's good. Yeah. He's impressive. You'll miss me with that. But Jack, do your kids like those books about the pigeon?

The like, don't let the pigeon drive the bus? Yeah. Oh, yeah. That author, Mo Willems, has been doing a morning doodle session with kids that I thought was really cute. He is amazing. He's the best. He is our generation's Seuss, or my kids' generation's Seuss.

I don't know, dude. I think that guy is one of the most obnoxious, thirsty, B-list celebrities I have ever seen. This Mo Willems. Ugh. Mo Willems is good. He didn't post a front-facing cry vid he's great uh i think and is that a new meme we can do everyone does their own front-facing cry vid honestly it could end up like that where people who are really struggling co-opt this video style

to be like no this is what human suffering well there's already been so many like i've in the past 24 hours i've been involved in three celebrity imagine video parodies like people like that's unfortunately just the truth i did one to ariana or no one to selena gomez's love me like a love song did one to smash a Love song. Did one to Smash Mouth, All Star. Did one to Tub Thumping. Shout out to McG. Shout out to McG. I mean, really, would that song have been a big hit without McG? That's a question that McG asks you to ask yourself on a regular basis.

What's McG doing for the kids? What's he streaming for the kids? Yeah, that's what I think we're all wanting to know just because whatever it is is probably super lit. Well, my front-facing video... It's his commercial reel on a fucking loop. So guys, this officially marks one week that at least the Zeitgeist has been recording remotely,

and I feel like it's a good time that at least the zeitgeist has been recording remotely. And I feel like it's a good time to look at just a review of how we humans are adapting to our being shut in. What's going on? Jamie, you said that at the end of last week, you did a comedy show, a stream streamed comedy show and it was cooler than you expected it was awesome it was i just like i i love all my comedy friends and i miss them i just was like is instagram live gonna like work for this kind of thing but from what i could tell it really did i and it also just felt good to like feel like you were performing a little bit for a second.

It was really nice. So if you're looking for diversions, comedy shows are still happening. And they're all obviously free to go to now. Yeah. Yeah. It's been super, super, super nice. So highly recommend. Yeah, I think just in general,

because we are dealing with the total lack of stimulation, we're creatures of habit and we have needs and we adapt pretty quickly or we become ingenious pretty quickly. And I think phase one is, I think most people trying to figure out solving like the socializing boredom aspects of being sort of isolated um because you know like we like we've been saying like over the last week on the show like talking about using video chats to like you

know play jackbox or quiplash other people are doing shit like that or there's been like uh virtual raves where people were like sitting streaming from like a warehouse in brooklyn uh with like 5 000 viewers like on twitch because like one of these club promoters was like yo i know a lot of djs who can't do what they want to do anymore but maybe we can find a way to give people some music a way to you know turn the music up at home and participate in something. And then the funny thing is people are saying Club Penguin Online. Yes, we were talking about Club Penguin last week. Yeah, so Club Penguin Online is like an off-brand version, right? There's Club Penguin and there's Club Penguin Online.

Am I getting that right? I'm not exactly sure, actually. That's a good question. Sorry, was this on an episode I was not there for? Because I don't know what the fuck y'all are talking about. Well, now we know Jack doesn't fucking listen to a word I say. Yeah, he doesn't listen to anything Jamie said. Yeah, Jamie was talking about how Club Penguin came back.

He's just a thirsty B-lister. I'm a thirsty B-lister who's just in it for the fame. You're just in it for the front-facing cry. I prefer Club Polar Bear. But like, oh, God. Actually, I'm going to show myself it for the fame. You're just in it for the front-facing cry. I prefer Club Polar Bear. But like, oh, God. Actually, I'm going to show myself out for that joke. On there, they're saying like, you know, it's basically like sort of like a second life,

but with your little penguin avatars. But it's mimicking real life, like what a lot of people have been seeing. Like definitely a lot of people sharing anxieties and like what their hopes are for the future. But the other thing is like people aren't like the sports stadium no one was in there yeah the skate park was empty the dance clubs empty so people were just gathering in these other spaces i think that reflect more even what's happening in the in the real world uh it's just very uh very interesting

to see that i like it i've been watching i I've been playing this off-brand game called Avatar High that used to be on... That sounds so off-brand. It sounds... Well, I told Isaac about it, and Isaac was like, what, it's Na'vi in high school? I was like, fucking no. It's The Sims, but in high school. So you make eight characters, and then you make them date each other,

and you make them decide what their college majors are, and you can throw a prom, and it's really fun, and everyone should play. That sounds fun. Is that a social game, or is that just a... No, it's an all-by-yourself game. All-by-yourself, which are still important. It's a lonely game.

AA meetings are also going like using Zoom. And it's cool because you don't have to go anywhere. You just go from being in a meeting to clicking a button and you're all by yourself just very quickly, which is nice. I actually actually linked off to a guide to laa meetings uh virtual a meetings in la in my twitter profile if people want to check it out yeah we could also put that in the show notes on the discord this guy made an escape room on google docs that's cool yeah just like very simply it's more like a choose your own adventure because obviously obviously you're limited to text and pictures and hyperlinks on one piece of paper, but it's kind of more choose-your-own-adventure

and you get a bunch of options. You'll read a paragraph and then you can choose an option and it'll link to another thing. So that's another thing we'll post in the Shornorts, in Footnorts as well. So you can try just some weird shit. It might inspire you to make your own ridiculous Google Doc escape room. Personally, I'm

just hanging out at home jerking off until Quibi drops. I think we're all in that I need that barcitecture. I need the barcitecture. I need to see Judge Chrissy Teigen or whatever the fuck.

Also, someone wrote a spec script for Curb Your Enthusiasm in the time of coronavirus. Oh, fuck. If anyone wants to check that out. I need a Seinfeld script, too. That has actually crossed my mind. I'm like, wait, they couldn't have it out already, but they would.

You would almost expect them to that'd be cool if they just went to Larry David's house and just like made I mean yeah that'd be tight shout out to Anna for bringing that to our attention alright guys a pleasure as always

And they make it a very smooth process. They picked up a bunch of toilet paper from here yesterday and it went great. So do it up.

Do it up. Did they pick up any white claw? Or was that... You didn't have any extras of that? We don't have any extra white claw in this house. We're actually going to need all of them. I'm going to need all those. I'm going to need all of them.
