your podcasts. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Tim Outrend was such a bitch. Courtesy of Casey Wilson's interview. We're going to get to it. Yeah. Talking about the Santa Claus. Turns out the Claus in that contract is the star is gonna be kind of a bitch here's the clause diva baby i think i just figured something out i was i've been trying to

figure out who elon musk's like new kind of head turn to the side uh delivery reminds me of from that new york times thing from that new y Times thing. And I think he's been studying Wayne's World. Like, he really, like, his delivery reminds me of Wayne Campbell. Yeah. Because, yeah, Wayne would be like, yeah, right? And then he would do these kind of, like, nods to the side on the

couch, for sure. Yeah. I feel like he's just, like, taken Wayne Campbell's delivery and gone full fascist. I do believe that Wayne's World is a fantastic film. So I don't know why people are so critical of it.

G-F-Y. If you want to threaten me with money, go fuck yourself. And then, ha ha, Shaw, bro. Then he starts putting his hair behind his ear like a Wayne I kept waiting for that but his little head turns

when he's like yeah this one and now I'm going to turn my head and everyone's going to laugh anyways the fallout from Time Magazine's most consequential person of the year pick to date Taylor Swift.

It continues to reverberate because the right has figured out that this whole thing not just time picking Taylor Swift as a person of the year the whole Taylor Swift's entire existence successful year

it's all been a left wing sigh out. I don't know why it took me so long to see this all right what's what's the case here they must have some really good evidence like is there something happens like a leaked like a cia program or something like that so there's well you know you obviously have like mk ultrara where the CIA was trying to figure out how to control people's minds. And in trying to do that, they accidentally invented the counterculture movement by introducing LSD to the public. And like giving Ken Kesey, one of the like leaders of the hippie movement, acid in MKUltra tests. So all the evidence we have of CIAs

actually controlling your mind, they're not very good at that shit. They fry. They want to. They are bad at it. If anything, they created a monster that they couldn't put back in from their perspective. But so it's more just insinuations

like that the end of wokeness account said, if you don't think the regime has plans to weaponize her just in time for 2024, you clearly have not been paying attention. Whereas Stephen Miller posted, what's happening with Taylor Swift is not organic. Okay. Either are you, Teenage Mutant Ninja Goebbels.

What are you talking about? Not organic. Jack Posobiec literally said, the Taylor Swift girl boss psyop has been fully activated. I mean, I'm curious what they think what they think is happening do they think so what did Stephen Miller

think was happening at her concerts does he think that those seats weren't actually full is he confused because charisma is like an alien property that he like just can't can't comprehend well yeah i mean look at stephen miller like absolutely hated throughout high

school you know what i mean right like it's no secret like he was like an out there racist at santa monica high school and people did not like him so that it makes sense from that guy's perspective who was like always went oh fuck the popular thing like fuck that it's like stupid or whatever that popularity is just like baffling to him and absolutely like cancerous to him um and i'm sure there's also just like you know how like like the way like political wonks and campaign people also look at it like you look at voting blocks too and he's just trying to basically be like oh shit this is a huge group of people who could potentially just vote democrat because of it i mean it's the same way they looked at kanye west and thought some shit would go down with him right that he was going to win the 2020

election yeah that's simple or something like that just like oh that's their leader and that's simple or something like that's just like oh that's their leader and that's what happens and while i'm sure many people would like many swifties would heed the words of their you know leader taylor how much like i don't know maybe they have polling to see like what the swiftie fucking dynamic is going into 2024 i mean there was one time when she tweeted, I think it was 2023. She tweeted, I've been so lucky to see so many of you guys at my US shows recently. I've heard you raise your voices and I know how powerful they are. Make sure you're ready to use them in our election this year. And then linked off to vote.org and they saw, I think 30,000 people registered to vote off of that one post, uh, which is like, yeah, there's not like good conversion,

not great conversion. It's 30,000, 30,000. It, it was the most people that registered to vote in a single night since the last presidential election okay i remember that yeah yeah yeah so it's she's able to move some people to vote but i don't think she's like starting the revolution with that with you know this is on some uh just rock the vote

doesn't matter what you vote for you just gotta vote just vote which you could take it either way like yeah for donald trump right you know exactly like it's yeah she's been vague enough that people are like is she a nazi you know what i mean so yeah i don't know why they they're like but again they're looking at how much like because we saw this going into the the elections earlier in november how people were talking shit about taylor swift and not like that actually not doing well like that that like brought attention to themselves in a way they probably didn't want um so that effect is definitely real but like if you're talking like that candidates yeah yeah there was someone who said said something about like her fan base or whatever, and it did not.

A lot of people were just like, oh, this person? Oh, I might vote now against them. Not to say that it was a full-on, it's not causation or correlation. There's more like, oh, I don't know. Maybe that's something to do with it. Clearly, she is very popular. So it's not the smartest idea to think that that will somehow win you over by taking an absolute dump on her. But it's also not like she was saying revolutionary shit in that Time Magazine article. As I looked through it more, it's an interesting read if you're a fan.

Sure, you want to hear what her inner thoughts and feelings are about like things that have happened to her in her life. But for those of us that aren't and are looking at like, why is this person person of the year? And it's like, whatever, you know, like there's a, there's a one part that said, quote, the upcoming vault tracks for reputation will be quote fire. She promises the re-recordings project feels like a mythical quest to her. Swift says, quote, I'm collecting horcruxes. I'm collecting infinity stones. Gandalf's voice is in my head every time I put out a new one. For me, it is a movie now.

Like, it's not talking about, like, workers of the world unite. Like, shit like that. I don't think the right needs to be that worried, to be honest. But again, I get it, too. If she does choose to say become politically active yeah that's that's probably that's a cultural force that you would have to contend with yeah yeah yeah for sure uh laura loomer posited that swift is who democrats are counting on to interfere in the 2024 presidential election just go for it i mean i was joking in the last episode but fuck it bro biden swift 2024

let's see yeah i don't know why biden yes there we go the idea that she's gonna interfere in the election like it's like oh you have russian interference well we have taylor swift interference we'll have someone out loud say what their values are um yeah but sure psyop psyop uh well speaking of joe biden uh a couple pieces of i think good news yeah um one he just canceled five billion dollars in federal student loan debt uh which brings the amount of debt relief under his administration to 132 billion dollars for more than 3.6 million people Obviously the Supreme Court stopped his central plan to yeah You know just do a broader thing. So it's more piecemeal at this point

and obviously this being America Because they killed off all the bureaucrats who help with things like this like just reading the cnn article about like what you have to do they're like so this program like you have to go through this and then by matching this program with this other program that was designed earlier this year to coordinate with the previous program to make like it just seems like so you have to become a professional bureaucrat for a couple months right but it is still, you know, progress and definitely, you know, a lot of people are going to feel that. And I know a lot of it is limited to like

specific kinds of borrowers. So like if you got, uh, like defrauded by a for-profit college, or you've been paying for at least 20 years or like if you're a public sector worker these are all through like existing student loan forgiveness programs that exist so they're just trying to like turn up all the levers on stuff like that it feels like the actual like kind of boots on the ground felt uh economic realities things that we've been you know when we talk about the mainstream democratic party pointing to well these economic indicators say it's better than it's ever been uh like that that's not it but like this is the sort of thing that i feel like people can actually feel yeah because the things people feel are like wage

inequality and yeah like how you know what what being in a union can do for your occupation your career and things like that and we're so far behind like other countries, if you want to compare in that sense. Yeah. And I mean, again, like look at our health care system. But these are the kinds of things because a lot of it is perceived like the perception of how much disposable income you might have after a month or something. And most people, like if you look at like all the factors that they kind of make any kind of metric out of that, more people feel that they're having less and less money to use than people that are.

And I think that's like, that should be the metric that they should be really focusing on because that's like, you can't tell people about GDP. Right. They honestly like, and I get how everything's interconnected and that might be the reason they're like the company they still work for is still in business etc etc but if you're trying to like like you don't need to do all the fancy branding of it if you can just make people like there's something tangible there and yeah dark branding uh let's go branding um all right let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and of course, lucha libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this. Lucha libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment.

Lucha libre is a type of storytelling. It's a dance. It's tradition. It's culture. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask, a 12-episode podcast in both English and Spanish about the history and cultural richness of Lucha Libre. And I'm your host, Santos Escobar, the emperor of Lucha Libre and a WWE superstar. Santos! Santos!

Join me as we learn more about the history behind this spectacular sport from its inception in the United States to how it became a global symbol of Mexican culture. We'll learn more about some of the most iconic heroes in the ring. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask. Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts.

Do you ever wonder where your favorite foods come from? Like what's the history behind bacon-wrapped hot dogs? Hi, I'm Eva Longoria. Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon. Our podcast, Hungry for History, is back. Season two. Season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right?

Okay. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? Okay. 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 have, we think, 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. Hi, everyone. It's me, Katie Couric.

Taking better care of yourself is just a click away. And we're back. We're back. And so there was this viral video where an Ohio woman threw a burrito bowl at a Chipotle employee that the thrower has been convicted of assault. Yeah, in her face, the worker

had to go be treated at the hospital for burns on her face. So this woman who threw the burrito bowl was convicted and her conviction comes with a unique punishment. Judges love to

get a little headline. Oh yeah. She was sentenced to 180 days in jail but the judge gave her a chance to reduce her sentence by 60 days if she spends that time working 20 hours a week at a fast food restaurant um which raises this idea that has been kicked around on the internet that I kind of like that everybody should be forced to do mandatory customer service work. If you're not, like, I think most of us spent time doing mandatory customer service work. Yeah. I mean, unless you're like fortunate and you're like, I worked at my dad's company or something.

Yeah. Yeah. Usually you're like, who's going to hire me? Oh, yeah usually you're like who's gonna hire me oh this like birthday place this restaurant this bar yeah yeah that's like yeah easiest place but if you're not if you don't have a background in customer service uh you should have to work a mandatory year if you're going to be an american to just like make you less of a fucking asshole. Yeah. And yeah, more empathetic, I think to,

um, people at all levels of the economy. Cause there are people, you know, how like sometime I remember like when I would be dating and stuff and like, or just like out in the world, you could, you could tell when somebody has never worked a job like that because of zero

empathy and they have zero understanding of what the job is and like they think like they're king shit of the restaurant and like why the fuck is this i'm like this place is terrible watch me chew this person out yeah that that could definitely help um also but i'm like you fucking assaulted this person too and i'm like you might need a little bit more than some fucking you, time at the restaurant because like that 180 days, 90 were suspended. So that leaves you another 90 and you can knock 60 off by working fast food, which means at most, maybe you'd spend 30. That's where I'm like, you know, I, I, I know. And I think that's what I think I gets, gets me a little bit kind of irritated is because I'm not like this woman is white.

And I'm like, how often are we seeing some kinds of things like be, you know, when people are getting the book thrown at them for not being white? Although I do like I do like conceptually what is happening here, because truly like one part of it is like now you need to fucking humble yourself a little bit first. So you can understand what's going on. Yeah. I mean, just generally it is a very dangerous job being customer service, especially at a fast food restaurant. Um,

a study found between 2017 and 2020 fast food restaurants were the sites of at least 77,000 violent or threatening incidents. And they are counting on young kind of untrained workers to like handle these situations like late at night trying to get people to like leave who who've been there you know who are like wanting to stay or uh they're just like yeah well i'll send the person who works the register out there to like deal with it and yeah it's just and that's why you also see shit where like those people like they have they they're not they shouldn't have to be security and mediator and negotiator that's why like you see these people throwing hands because

they're like i don't i'm in a fucking weird situation this is this is what i know how to do yeah um and yeah like those calls like those are the ones that get like when the people actually call 9-1-1 like how many times have you been at a job and some wild shit happens and you don't call the cops? You're just like, well, that shit was fucking wild. Unless something terribly egregious happened, like people were pulling guns or something like that. Even in that case,

this article has some examples where people had guns pulled on them and were not allowed to go home. Yeah, right. That sadly sounds so normal. Like in a job like that. I mean, and even like this woman,

the poor woman who got fucking splashed with a Chipotle burrito bowl and got burns on her face. She couldn't go to the fucking hospital until after her shift was over. Yeah. Like, what the fuck? Yeah. And I get that.

I think that woman was a manager or some shit. And maybe she's trying to be like, and that's when you're like, uh, don't the company don't value internalized. Yeah. Yeah. They don't fuck with you that much because like the way she put it, she left Chipotle after that. Cause that shit, she was like, yo, they did not fucking have my best interests at heart

there. So no, I do not work there anymore. So anyways, I don't know. I kind of like it. Like instead of mandatory military service, we get a mandatory customer service oh yeah i think like especially too if you know i think a lot of people if you have a very privileged life it should absolutely be mandatory i think many other people who aren't as wealthy can find a way to like exist in the world and like they understand what is happening but i feel like when you have people who are like living

in a completely different reality and service workers are like literal like npcs in your life where you're like yeah yeah exactly the stuff yeah that's yeah that has to get sorted out quick yeah yeah no like maybe a test if your like household income is over x amount of dollars if you just like you don't have to do shit, if you've never had to work that job, then if you do work it, you check it off, and you've done your service of a year. And if you don't,

then you just have to get in. They're like, hey man, the clock's ticking. You're about to turn 28. You're about to turn 28. You need to get that fucking, that service job in pretty quick. Yeah.

I'll literally die if like I have to wear like a McDonald's thing like I can't do anything like that well no you should you learn a lot about yourself alright the Republican debates happened seems like a lot of like sniping and just

so they were attacking one another there were only four left right at this point, that are allowed on the stage. DeSantis, Christy, Vivek, and Haley. And in some cases, it was like, they were just kind of crabs in a bucket, just trying to pull each other down. Like, this is the person who was trying to take my numbers away and so they were going at each other um then vivek was just throwing it

was like someone who's losing a boxing match on points just throwing wild haymakers in the 15th round just being like gas gassing yourself out yeah just do we do we want to play that quick i mean yeah just just know he's about to say some vile racist and just overall just nonsense uh but this is vivek ramaswamy who is the desperation is just oh boy this is coming off you something stinky like donald trump attempted to take on and if you want somebody who's going to speak truth to power, then vote for somebody who's going to speak the truth to you. Why am I the only person on the stage, at least who can say that January 6th now does look like it was an inside job. The government lied to us for 20 years about Saudi Arabia's involvement in 9-11, that the great replacement theory is not some grand right-wing conspiracy but a basic statement

of the democratic party's platform that the 2020 election was indeed stolen by big tech that the 2016 election the one that trump won for sure was also one that was stolen from him by the national security establishment okay even the fucking i love you okay all right asshole like yo cut him off cut him off who gave him another white claw no uh yeah wow you really you went up there with your brown butt and you really said the great replacement theory what did he think what does this is the thing that i'm always understand when like people of color i mean i do understand but like there's always this like weird fake promise in their minds that if they go full

bore white supremacy, that it is going to make them likable. Make the white supremacists like them. Yeah, and that they will ascend. I get like from a survival thing, like how people would assimilate or whatever because whiteness may protect them in some other way, but like doing this to like

appeal to it while also being a person of color like you look like to them they're going to be like no they're going to say is he gets it versus that's our leader because it ain't going to be you and just to say like just with this ethno-nationalist shit that's what it is kind of wow that now we're at the point where like this is what they're doing on a debate stage to try and break through is just like screaming out vile racist conspiracy theories. And try and get Trump to, you know, notice them and decide that they should be running. Because none of y'all are doing shit after this. I mean, obviously, this is I mean, Nikki Haley has the best shot of being anywhere near Trump, but I don't even know at this point.

Yeah. Who what Trump's got in the old laboratory. If he got a Taylor Swift of his own, he's cooking up him in a Blake. What's his name? The Shelton Blake Shelton. Yeah. I don't know. Who's the, I'm trying to think of the, was it going to be him in fucking Tila tequila at this fucking rate. Right. Um, finally, uh, Tim Allen, uh, yeah, we already heard from him on this episode mere moments ago, but it was just interesting to hear, uh, Casey Wilson, very funny actor,

um, was, had a single episode arc or, you know, a couple episode arc in, um, the Santa Claus TV show. Oh oh it's a show i thought it was a movie okay yeah this is the one the santa claus tv show that he brought back and uh so we're

i'll just read some of what she had to say about what it looked like tim allen was such a bitch it was the truly single worst experience i've ever had with a co-star ever. That she had buried this until now because the producer on the show is a great friend. So I'm in a scene it's just me and Tim Allen and I'm supposed to throw things at him. I think he's

a burglar. So he's coming down the chimney obviously as Santa and I'm woken up thinking there's an intruder. Basically like a home invasion scene. So I'm throwing things at him. He goes over to the producer who is standing four feet from me and goes, and I hear him. He goes,

you got to tell her to stop stepping on my lines. Producer turns to me with horror on his face and has to walk one foot to me and goes, um, Tim would ask that you stop stepping on his lines. Wilson said everybody was walking on eggshells around him. When he was done, he was so fucking rude. Never made eye contact.

Never said anything. It was so uncomfortable. It's the end. And Tim Allen goes leaving, takes his Santa cape, picks it up and drops it on the floor and walks out. And they hustle in his stand in. Lovely man who's much nicer to act against people are scurrying

to pick up his velvet Santa coat he's a bitch and this is the best I won't say who said this someone that I do not know perhaps in the crew breezes past me and just goes you're seeing him on a good day wow

well yeah I mean shocker really i don't know old tim i mean what the fucking like god like being around people like that this is again it's like i feel like some actors should also be crew on a set yeah know what it's like to have someone singularly be like, I'm going to fucking make this place fucked up for everybody because I'm the star. Yeah. Shush. Yeah. and you know what they were like and some of the philosophies of those civil like pre-columbian civilizations you know talked about multiple tribes having this thing where you like the people who were the rulers in one season would then switch to being you know the custodians or

the you know like that everybody would just shift between roles it was like because you never wanted anyone to think like their worth to the tribe went above anybody else's basically and like that was an idea that many of them settled on and that makes a ton of sense and but of course those philosophies just are ignored to these ghost people showed up in boats talking about our king sent us you're like what the fuck is this what the fuck oh he's basically god you would love him he's actually he was actually picked by god to wear that crown and have sex with his cousin. So, hmm. Makes you think, doesn't it?

Yo, producer Victor in the chat just chimed in and said, when I was a kid, I signed up to be a background actor on the third Santa Claus. And the directors told us, parenthetical, a bunch of kids at the casting call, do not speak to Tim Allen at all.

Wow. And it was a quick comment but looking back at it it was weird yeah yeah well cocaine's a hell of a drug allegedly yeah i know you think that he's santa claus and he's all friendly and stuff and maybe he's playing him but he fucking hates your gut he's on a fucking bender too dude no eye contact you might think you're a fucking demon or something swing on you i'm sorry. The only way to guarantee that is if you fucking stay the fuck away from him, please. Wow. Unbelievable.

Alright. Well, those are some of the things that are trending on this Thursday, December 7th. We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Get the vaccine. Don't do nothing about white supremacy and we will talk to y you all tomorrow. Bye. Bye. miles, two women did something no other woman had done before, try to assassinate the president of
