Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 410 episode two of Dernetely Zeitgeist, a production of iHeartRadio.

This is a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness, and it is opposite of 10-4 season. It's 4-10 season. So we're saying hello backwards on CB radio, I guess. It's how it's going. It's Wednesday, October 15th, 2025. 10 15 good buddy payday for some of you it's also national swarma day is broad day like shout out of brazier national esthetician day national cheese curd day hagfish day national fossil day uh fucking latin x aids awareness day i love lucy day uh fucking pregnancy and infant loss remembrance day heavy national grouch day white cane safety day for the vision and provisionally impaired of what the

this is this is chock full of everything today is there another food that has such a specific textural experience to cheese curds being squeaky I don't know another food like I guess the only example I have is like if you've been chewing a piece of gum

for two hours and it it starts to get a little squeaky oh yeah you know when you bite into a cheese curd and it's like squeak squeak yeah I can't think of another food that is like so textually specific. Well, and consistently squeaky is the thing, right?

Because the cheese curd does kind of squeak through the whole thing. Like an olive from time to time can give you like a, ooh, there's a waxy thing happening. But it's not like the whole time while you're eating it. I mean like a shitty frozen forever preservative-laden mozzarella stick

can have that experience too. This shit didn't melt. You're like, and you're like, and you're like, oil can. Man. Olive is a really good example of another text really specific. Like, it's like kind of, it's like, is this made a felt?

What is it? Has this little potato gone bad? My name is Jack O'Brien, aka Potato's O'Brien. Throw a little cheese curd on your potatoes, O'Brien dish. And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. Hey, it's Miles Gray, aka the Shogun with No Gun. Just right now, I want to say up top, forgive. me if you hear little drip drops drip drops those aren't my tears over the passing of de angelo that's

just a roof leak that i'm dealing with right now uh so just again if people are like i hear something it's a little bit of drip drop but tell the people you did for their for them tell them tell them the doc brown rupe goldberg shit that you put together look for the listener i don't want to toot my own horn but i am named after miles davis so actually hand me that horn uh i had a Like, normally you just put a bucket under a fucking, you know, a fucking leak. And then it just drips. Sometimes you want to deafen or dampen the noise. So you put a towel or something in there.

So it hits the towel and it's not just like water on water. It was. Then the towel gets wet. And then you got to switch this thing out like every fucking five minutes. Can't do that. I'm recording professional podcast. What I did is I taped a garbage bag up top around where the leak is. Okay.

And I sort of made that into like a conical shape. So everything was funneling to a corner of the garbage bag. And then I took some gaff tape. and I twisted it, I wound it around like into a coil, and I taped it to the corner of the bag, cut a small hole. So now the water just comes and drains down the coil that I've created with tape silently into a pot. So there's no more dripping. But you do hear the impact of the drips inside of the bag. It's not a perfect solution, but it is one.

Mother fucking Nikola Tesla over here. Dude, if that is his name. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I got it right. This is the real Tesla coil he was talking about. That's crazy. Thank you. Thank you.

I'm impressed. Hey, speaking of being impressed, Miles, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a hilarious comedian and one of our favorite guests

on the Daily Light guys. Dave Grohl once touched her arm and said, Hey, you're pretty funny. You can see her on stages everywhere, including upcoming shows in Birmingham and Nashville.

It's Lydia Poplivan. Hey, hello, Hello, Hello. Hey, hey. And to be clear, when Dave Gould spoke to me,

I heard it as, hey, you're pretty. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that too. Funny. Yeah, you know what I mean? There was a pause there. But he did just say pretty funny. Yeah.

I was just cracking wise ones. Quick question up top for you, since you are the Dolly Whisperer, how did you take all that hubbub last week of like, hey, man, we need prayers on deck now. Honestly, I knew from jump. I knew from jump nothing was wrong because that shit came from Frida, okay? Freed apart. God bless her. she's a beautiful gal but like she is that dramatic sibling

she is that dramatic sibling that is constantly like overstepping this is not the first time she's made public statements about Dolly that have yielded some kind of something this one was poorly timed so I knew from Jump as soon as I saw it was Frida on Facebook I was like

Oh yeah on Facebook Okay yeah you know and Frida Frida I believe is older than Dolly So like let's give her a break right She's an older woman She doesn't really understand how Facebook works She probably doesn't realize the depth of her reach, or she does.

Either way, I don't care. She's an elder. I'm going to let her be her. But I knew from jump, that was not it. And also, you know, I have my sources. I have my sources. Yeah, yeah. The dolly community.

Oh, no, she's younger. You knew she had kidney stones before she did. Right. I did, actually. The doctors at Vanderbilt send me a message. And they say, hey, listen, dolly's going to be in here. We just want you to know so that you can give her prayers. No, I wasn't concerned.

I truly wasn't concerned because she had made her announcements. You know, I knew it was Frida. Frida is predisposed to drama. So I was like, well, you know, Frida's just going through it. And that it was just hilarious because literally everyone I knew was reaching out to me like, are you okay? Are you all right? And I was like, she's fine, girl.

I was like, don't worry about it. And then the next day, of course, she got on, Dolly Parton, that is, got on and, you know, did her own statement online, which I thought was just fucking great, where she's just like literally at work doing TikTok's like, hey, guys, I'm fine. Everything's cool. I, don't worry about me. It was uncomfortable for a little bit. That's got to be wild.

You're the younger sister of Dolly Parton, and the most you can do is to be like, help my sister! And they're like, who's that? Well, I think, I think Frida's older. I think Frida's older than Dolly Parton. She's 68. Oh, okay, she's younger, yeah. I mean, forgive me.

For people who don't know the story, so Dolly Parton had to cancel a show, and then her six shows had to cancel a series of And her sister came through and said, I've been up all night praying. Yeah. Please pray. Very dramatic. And then her explanation when her, when Daly came through and was like, we're good over here. Thanks, everyone. Was, oh, I'm up all night praying every night. Yeah. Sorry. I was just letting you in on what's going on with me, which is I love prayer. And so should you. Yes. No, her, uh, Frida's daughter, uh, is also. someone that I'm friendly with. And Frida's daughter came up. She had a very funny post that was like, raise your hand if your mom got on Facebook and scared the world.

I was just laughing because it's like, it's just kind of great because you're like, everyone has those moments with your own mom when you're like, geez, mom, no. Like everyone's mom has posted something cringy, but like imagine the power of your mom posting something so cringy about like the world's angel. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Just shout out to The Onion for this headline. Dolly Parton shares video confirming sister, a shit-stirring bitch. I love it.

Lydia, we're thrilled to have you here. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of things we're talking about today. Bad news, and that's a rare bit of bad news in this Second Trump administration, Dominion voting systems, the company that was accused of. election brought by the Trump administration, Fox News paid over 700 million to a defamation suit, just sold to a Republican election official, and they changed the name to Liberty Vote. So we'll talk about that and why that could be bad for this country.

I mean, I don't see it. Yeah. We're going to talk about Instagram while helping their crackdown on content for teens, so it's more in line with they keep using the comparison more in line with the PG-13 movie ratings. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about... So you're going to hear like

fuck once? Yeah, exactly. I was like, so still tits, right? Cool. Yeah, yeah. Wait, yeah. In the 80s PG-13? We talked in the 80s very different. Because what 80s PG is like today's are. Yeah, man. Jaws. It's like, jolts with blood. You know

what I mean? Yeah, yep. You know? Yeah, I also found up interesting piece of information. I had always thought that Temple of Doom was the first PG-13 movie, and we'll talk about why that's not accurate. We'll talk about the Turning Point USA, a non-super Bowl, Super Bowl halftime show that they announced. Good luck. And the urban legend that Disney will not let you die on their premises, that they will haul your ass to the parking lot so you die there so that statistically nobody ever dies in Disneyland. It is,

both an urban legend and also the origin of the urban legend is fucked up. Oh, no. Kind of just exactly what is suggested by the urban legend. Oh, right? Somebody, someone died right on haunted mansion or some shit last week? Yeah, someone recently died on haunted mansion. And so people are like, ha ha, this is an urban legend and a lie. Ironic, the haunted mansion, you say.

And then you dig a little bit and you're like, there might be a good reason people believe that lie. All of that plenty more. But first, Lydia, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from you, search history that's revealing about who you are. Oh, baby, two things. Diet Coke Lyme. Since they teased Diet Coke Lyme about three weeks ago, I have been just stalking Kroger, stalking Walmart, stalking of my local publics, waiting for this diamond beverage to arrive. And I finally saw on the Diet Coke website that the lime was here. And I was so, because then I was able to get onto Amazon, call Daddy Basos, and get myself a crisp one.

What is this? Is it a good D.C. Lime? Man, there's few things that I live for more than Diet Coke lime or Diet Coke. I really don't drink soda at all, but there is just such a sweet nectar of the Diet Coke that brings me such supreme happiness. And the Lyme version is just like makes you feel tropical, makes you feel like you're out there, makes you feel like you got a little excitement in the middle of your day. You know what I mean? Just a little extra something. And it also tells you that I am rapidly approaching 50 in the day.

Diet Coke with Lyme just brings me this much happiness. As a perimenopausal woman, there's just like a crisp beverage. I never do it would be this important to me in my entire life. And now it's like I hit those like two o'clock afternoons where I just want to fucking sleep forever. Nope, Diet Coke with Lyme gets me through, gets me through, gets me through, gets me through, makes me feel good. So I have to talk about McDonald's is the thing. McDonald's fries is being the thing that gets the worst when it goes from hot to cold.

I feel like Diet Coke's are also the most temperature dependent food. If it gets above a certain temperature, if it's not on the edge of freezing for me. You got to marinate that. I'm with you. You drink a warm Diet Coke. You're like, oh, you're questioning all your life decisions. You're questioning every Diet Coke you've ever consumed up to that point. Oh, yeah.

I hate to, did you, when you said that, I was reminded of a study that I read last week. They're saying, hey, leave those sweeteners alone. According to in Europe, they're like, don't do it. Of course. But you know what? I don't give a fuck. Just drink a little Coca-Cola, have four or five cigarettes. No, they're just like, don't.

I mean, they're European. Yeah, exactly. They're just like, don't. Apparently it can lead to some kind of liver. Yeah. As they like shove whole croissants into their mouths, where you're like, all right, seven pounds of butter, calm down, bro. But it's organic.

Yeah. Now, honestly, like, I don't really eat sugar for the most part. Like, I, I, I'm diabetic person, so, like, I'm constantly eating, like, the boringest foods and all of the vegetables. So, like, for me, yeah, man, it's just, but it's, he's, he's, he's totally right, though. Like, Jack, like, if it is not ice fucking cold, it doesn't count. And some people may ask, well, Lydia, why can't you just put a fresh lime into it? Then you can have Diet Coke lime when you have your wand. And to those people, I say, get the fuck out of here.

I'm trying for a whole chemical peel of my inside. I want. I want. I'm trying to strip the paint, okay, on the end of that. That is my detox. Some people are like, drink water, have a juice. No, I want to have two Diet Coke's a day, and I want to strip my insides and wake up in the morning and feel clean again. There you go.

You know, I want the chemical. Give me the cancer. Let's go. I'm ready. What is something you think is underrated? Underrated? This I've thought about a lot. Ligaments.

You know? Ligaments. We're all just bags of bones, right? Hell yeah. With like a weird, fleshy covering that is just hanging on for your dear life by what? ligaments, little funky-ass pieces that aren't quite muscle, that aren't quite bone, that attach everything together and make it so that we can move around and function in this universe. And when one of those ligaments goes, you're fucked. Yeah. I learned this because I watched my dog,

my dog, my big, beautiful King Corso, tore her ACL, which is called a CCL and a dog. And I, she just got surgery last week, but I watched her for a month, limp around while we waited to get her surgery date. And then she got her surgery and I was just like, dude, one little tiny ligament took this beautiful majestic beast out, like, where now she is just like got a metal plate in her leg. They don't grow back. Once a ligament is gone, that shit is gone. It's the same for us. Like, it's when you bust your ACL, they cut that shit out and they give you like a robot knee. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's crazy. But it's wild to think about how much relies on this little tiny piece of sinew. And I just think about all of my body and with every ache and pain of my body, I'm just like, my ligaments.

Yeah. Think of my ligaments. I stretch so much now because I realize, like, I was talking to yesterday's episode about like knee pain I'm having. And I realize a lot of it is from having too tight or too weak of quad or hamstrings. And it's not necessarily your knee. It's like everything else is just pulling at it. Yeah. And I'm like, if you want to take care your ligaments, ligaments, got to get a stretch. You know what I mean? When I'm eating a chicken wing and I do, I cleaned the bone and there's some ligament in there. I am judging the chicken on whether how loose their ligaments were, whether they were stretching or not.

I'm like, no, this is snapping. Yeah, okay. Yeah. You could have had a career. I'd tell you know if they were, if they were organic or not, right? Like all those shits from wing stop come off clean because those chickens ain't walked a day in their life.

You know what I mean? But you go to Whole Foods, you get you some organic chicken. You're like, these are a little, these are a little, these are a little cloud. I think I broke my tooth on the dang ligament. Is this, is this chicken doing yoga with that? the fuck? Strong. What is something

you think is overrated? Okay. I'm over everyone's halls. Like Trader Joe's hall, Marshall's hall. You mean groceries? Yes. Like that's where we're at.

People used to be. I'm serious. So you mean you went grocery shop? Check out my grocery hall. I mean, I get it in the era of how much groceries cost you might as well stunt. You're like, yeah, I bought that $8 bag of flour. Right?

Like, I just, to me, it just screams mental illness, right? where I'm just like, I don't, either you went shopping and spent too much money that you shouldn't have spent on shit that nobody cares about. Like, don't unbox me your Hermes purse. Like, I'm sorry, in this economy. Nobody needs to see that shit, bitch. And then also, like you said, oh, your groceries? You mean you went grocery shopping? You want to show me that you got the fucking iced jojos?

I don't care. Like, what are we doing? What are we doing? It just, I just remember, like, when my mom used to go out and she would spend a morning doing errands, right? And I would fucking beg and plead to get out of them because I didn't want to do it. And then she'd come home and she'd be like, you want to see everything I got. And I'm like, no, no, I don't. I, I didn't want to go.

Why do I? And now I'm on the internet and every third thing I scroll past is like, here's my hall. And it's like, yeah, it's just that, yeah, it's that hyper. Consumerism and peace. Just do it in peace. I don't want to see it. I don't need to watch you shop. That's what's frightening is that like hyperconsumption as content is just like a very

normal thing where it's like, why I bought $6,000 of stuff and here I am. Or just seeing like the kinds of shit now people like collect, like, There's like this completionist form of hyperconsumption where it's like, oh, I've got to have every version of this bath bomb or I'm at every single variety of this like, like skincare product. I've saw there are a couple people I watch on YouTube who are just kind of like, they're like, yo, check out this shit I'm seeing on TikTok. And people have like whole rooms like just dedicated to like cosmetics and things that are unopened that are purely like, and this is this. And here are my sacred consumables. welcome to my chamber. Like, I remember we just had to deal with couponers.

You know what I mean? You know, there's just like this notion of couponing and you had like this store of stuff because you had coupon so hard. And it's like now people are like, no, I don't need a coupon. I just not, I want the nine different boxes of Tide. Yeah.

Because they're, you know, what are we doing? We used to get this from being able to afford to go to the grocery store. Right. And now we have to go like synthetic Diet Coke lines. version of consumerism. Like the white noise scene where he's like spiritually fucked up

and he like makes his family go to the grocery store. And they should be like, look at the colors. Jesus, this feels fucking great. Like now you just get that online. Well, I think that's like it's all, because they're all just downstream of watching billionaires buy shit and everybody just kind of do their version of it.

So billionaires are like, yo, check out. There's a Learjet. This I'm on the G6 or whatever. And people are like, okay, what's my version? Okay, I bought $500 worth of Trader Joe's canvas shopping bags that I've like framed on my wall. And then now those things get smoke. I'm coming for those, man. Oh, wow, you're telling people you got all that shit.

Okay. Wouldn't be me? But like in the same way, too, like the grocery thing, I get in a way because it's so expensive. Yeah. That why wouldn't you be like, yeah, I got it like that. I went to the fucking grocery store. I bought this much. And when it gets to that level, I'm like, God, this is so fucking frightening.

Doing the money phone with a box of tide. Yeah, yeah, with toilet paper. No, I had, like, basically the, like, check-out gal at Publix in the, like, you know, check yourself out section. And I bought six things. I bought organic blackberries. I bought organic kiwis. I bought an organic mango.

I bought some brasola, which is dried Italian beef. And I bought a thing of feta cheese. And then I bought, like, a jar of hot. honey, right? And I'm, ringing them through and the girls watching me

ringing them through, you know, it was close to $70. Yeah, I was going to say $57. That was going to be my guess. How big was, wow.

Because the organic berries were like $6 a carton. And I thought that they were three for five. So I had bought like the three of them, you know, they weren't three for five. And so I had to like,

call her over and be like, and she's like, no, no, no, no, no. Those are the non ones. I was like, yeah, the non-organic ones that were molding in the containers.

Yeah, okay, that makes sense. Right, right, right. But this teenager had to come over and take them off. And when she saw how much it was, she was like, let me check it. And I was like, no, babe, that's just what shit costs. Like, it's not, it's not wrong. And then she was just like, she was like, concerned for my well-being. She was like, are you going to be okay?

Like, can you afford this? Like, are you all right? And I was like, I was like, girl, I do have it like that. I am okay buying these things. I'm about to do a hall actually follow me. Yeah, I'm about. At a hateer Tuesday. But like the look on her face when she saw how much seven things cost and she was just like, I still live it.

Oh, right. Yeah. This is like the one. I'm just so surprised Democrats aren't even fucking talking about. This is like the one thing you'd probably get some Republicans nodding along with to be like, yeah. I bought a loaf of bread that was $7. Like a loaf of white bread. We remember how Kamala Harris talked about like greet flation.

once exactly once but the Uber people got her to fucking come like that was her brother-in-law or something hey so fuck up about that bro what are you trying to do fucking make me less money you fucking Stalin over here what is this shit

no but it was the honey the honey was like $17 I didn't realize the honey damn Jesus and I was just like shit because I was like what is I was still adding it as we were going through to decipher what was so expensive

and it was the honey and she was like do you still want it and I was like yes I have no choice until I have my My apiary set up. Correct. And someone in my house is allergic to be, so that'll be never.

Real my girl situation. Oh, yeah, for real. For real. I would be devastated. I would be devastated. Shut out, Thomas. But yeah, crazy. But yeah, man, keep your groceries to yourself, Doug.

It's expensive. I don't want to see it. Don't show me what you got. Make me jealous of food. It's hard enough. I'm a fat lady. Go on a podcast and be like, yeah, I got it like that. But you don't have to know about it.

You know what I mean? Organica. Just drizzling organic. honey over your head. Right, all over myself. That's right. All right, let's take a quick break. And we'll be back to talk about the news.

But three times. John and Ann Bender are rich and attractive, and they're devoted to each other. They create a nature reserve and build a spectacular circular home high on the top of a hill. But little by little, their dream starts to crumble,

In early 1988, federal agents raced to track down the gang they suspect of importing millions of dollars worth of heroin into New York. from Asia. We had 30 agents ready to go with shotguns and rifles and you name it. But what they find is not what they expected.

Basically, your stay-at-home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. They go, is this your daughter? I said yes. They go, oh, you may not see her for like 25 years. Caught between a federal investigation and the violent gang who recruited them, the women must decide who they're willing to protect and who they dare to betray. Once I saw the gun, I tried to take his hand and I saw the flash of light. Listen to the Chinatown Sting

on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts. And we're back. And we're back. And, uh, yeah. I don't have that bad news in America. No. Trying to think back to the last time we.

Oh, yeah, it was like at the very end of the last recording. Yeah, literally DeAngelo died. I know. As we were wrapping up to recording. As we were talking about Diane Keaton, got the second one. The second plane hit the towers. Yeah. Who's going to be the third?

I know. God. All right. So we all remember domain voting system. We wouldn't have, except for the, you know, campaign that was launched to be like, They gave Biden all the votes. They were accused of election fraud very publicly to the tune of $700 million paid by Fox News to them in a defamation lawsuit that they settled. Last week, that company was purchased by a, quote, former Republican elections official and rebranded as Liberty Vote, which on its surface seems bad.

But should we dig a little bit deeper? No, let's skip it. The press committee said, as of today, Dominion is gone. Liberty vote assumes full ownership and operational control. And Dominion's website now redirects to Liberty Vote. The new company made more than a few references to right-wing conspiracy theories in the announcement, suggesting that it will be incorporating paper ballots enabling compliance with President Trump's executive order. That executive order was shot.

shot down by judges for being, and I don't know what this word means, unlawful. Unlawful. Those are one of the banned words, Jack. Oh, right. They are headed by Scott Leandercker, a one-time, you can guess what cities from based on that name. For some reason, that name just shouts St. Louis. St. Louis.

He's a one-time St. One-four. Yeah. Leander. Get Leanne Decker over here. One-time St. Louis Republican election director. who founded the company no ink, all capital, except the I and ink, which makes electronic pullbook poll pads, which is the iPad custom software

that poll workers use to verify your eligibility and check voters in. You may remember those fucking up a ton in the 2020 election. They made headlines in 2019 when it was revealed that the device's default password is care to guess what the default password was. one one one two three four five six seven no you went too far you went too complicated one two three four he gave him a good tip though yeah yeah yeah a seven actually shout count that high yeah which makes them apparently easy prey for hackers looking to disrupt voting in key precincts are so chaos in mass one version of this that like as i'm reading this just like one version of this is that they

use this to just straight up yoink elections you also have the option where they're, like, health insurance providers who make it impossible to submit and, like, track health insurance claims and, like, you'll technically be able to vote, but it will be just a huge pain in the ass. Like, and you'll have to, like, stand around for hours and, like, miss work.

Right. Which, yeah, which I could totally see that being how they do it, is just through inefficiency and fucking up, they end up, you know, or just straight up. Or just straight up fucking goose the numbers. You know what I mean? I think right now 27 states use dominion voting machines. Yes, that's a significant amount.

That's a lot. Somebody who's just entrenched in right wing election conspiracies be the, like the CEO of that company is, I don't know, what's the word like fucking freaky, I guess? Well, first is shady at all. Yeah, yeah. He's an expert. What are you worried about? He's an expert in elections fraud. He wants to make sure that people are elected fraudulently, you know?

Right. It's kind of his shit. That's his whole shit. It's his thing. Yeah, the other, just the part about it, too, is like, because at the time, Dominion had all these, like, lawsuits also is going after people, like, that were in Trump's orbit from just saying bullshit, like, fake conspiracy theories, you know, maligning the company.

They had, like, other cases open. But part of the deal for these people to turn it into liberty was they asked Dominion to just settle many of these other, like these other defamation lawsuits. And so they didn't have to end up like the one that Fox settled for for like $787 million. They're like, because Giuliani was being sued. Sidney Powell was also being sued. One American News Network was being sued. Yeah. Everybody was being sued.

And like the amount of money that like $700 million, I feel like it's a private company so people don't know exactly what they sold for. But the company made $55 million in annual revenue and was valued at around $80 million. So, like, they're getting vast sums of money compared to, like, what they were worth. So it seems weird. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean, again, it just feels like, okay, with this move, we can shore up our defenses against, you know, democracy and being able to protect people from exercising their voting rights. and also maybe turn the heat off of Rudy Giuliani and Sydney Pout.

They were both being sued for $1.3 billion each. I mean, not that Rudy even had, like they don't have that. And 08, 1 American News, 1.6 billion. Like those are existential sums for these people. And to be like, no, I got this. I got this. I'm going to say, part of y'all getting this money is you settle for something. We still don't know what that will be.

But yeah. Yeah. Once again, a sign that this system where we leave it up to the capitalists to just like regulate everything and do everything. doesn't really work because they can be bought. And you're always just like an acquisition away from crazy shit like this happening or Bari Weiss taking over as the head of CBS or, you know, it's just any system that leaves it to the oligarchs to be like, they know how to run this. No, they know how to accumulate capital and cover their ass.

That's what they know how to do. I did just want to read, and I don't know why, this is completely out of context, but this is from an article about the monarchist, Curtis Yarvin, who has helped shape a bunch of this, like, oligarchic takeover of the U.S. that we've been seeing. So this is from that. Both Teal, Peter, and Balaji, Srinabasin, then a general partner at Andresen Horwitz,

had become friends with Yarvon after reading his blog through emails shared with me revealed, though emails shared with me revealed that neither was thrilled to be publicly associated with him at the time. How dangerous is it that we are being linked? Teal wrote to Yarvin in 2014. And then here was Yarvin's response. Again, this is somebody who is overseeing the oligarchic takeover of the United States currently kind of completely in line with what we're seeing with this voting machine takeover. Jarvin said, one reassuring thought, one of our hidden advantages is that these

people, social justice warriors and like people on the left, wouldn't believe in a conspiracy if it hit them over the head. This is perhaps the best measure of the decline of the left. Linkages make them sound really crazy and they kind of know it. So in that case, they were talking about, you know,

doing a thing that they're already doing with each other, which is like, you know, Teal talking to somebody who's a monarchist who's just like, yeah, we want oligarchs to be the new monarchy and being like, the best defense is that the shit we're getting up to

is so shady and nefarious that it sounds paranoid and nobody will believe it. Hmm. Yeah. So, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's good defense, good defense. Something.

But it is, does seem almost true, like in the lack of a defense to the oligarchic and like fascist takeover that we've seen, by the way, I've just said oligarchic three times in a row, I don't know if it's a word. I'm just going to say that up top. But that that takeover that we've seen in the last, year and a half

the lack of a defense. It just feels like people are like, yeah, well, that, like I just read an article where someone was like talking about calling people who are interested in the Epstein documents is like, people who live on planet Epstein who believe that

there's like conspiracies undergirding everything and like conflicting that with like real news journalists. And it's like, I don't know, man. I think maybe real news journalists also have to be open to the fact that these people are trying to take over the world openly and in front of all of us in a way that sounds like a conspiracy theory to the point that nobody wants to be caught pointing it out.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, this is a, Peter Thiel's a guy who thinks he can live forever, potentially, through, like, blood transfusions. He's all in on the Antichrist thing, because I think he sees that as a way to get a lot of, like, sort of allies in, like, the more evangelical space. there's just so much about him that is known that you're like, what the fuck? That you wouldn't put anything past,

especially people who, they know that the clock is ticking in terms of like the cycles of history where all this wealth is accumulated. It eventually gives way to something where there's a rebalancing on some level. And like they know we're like the machine is smoking right now because it's hoovering up all this money.

People are having less and less access to stability to wealth, et cetera, that they're, they're constantly now actively thinking, they're trying to learn from history to be like, well, how do we keep, how do we stave off a rebalancing of some kind? Is it through bunkers? Is it through that, like, we just hide from everyone and they're going to have to fight each other? Is it that there's some war that we're going to protect ourselves from? Is it that we use AI to just fully be able to analyze everyone's behavior and just identify rabble-rousers to make things a little more calm?

There's so many things. Is it through the capture of media, through government, through all these other things to kind of create a unified message that dulls people's senses to what is actually happening around them? They are thinking very proactively about this. So, yeah, so when Curtis Yarvon, someone who is, you know, is like the face or at least the mind behind this idea that like oligarchs will have their own sort of fiefdoms that we live in, it's like, do you live in the Bezos zone or a Musk zone where each oligarch has their version of how like what protections are afforded, what your housing looks like? like because they're going to be controlling everything. Yeah, the idea that they would then be like, yeah, buy up the fucking voting machine systems. And then you just fucking put your thumb on the scale a little bit.

And what the fuck you're talking about? You fucking stop pissing your pants. You're another thing Yarvin says elsewhere in that article is he's like in despair at the beginning of the Trump administration because he's like halfway revolutions just like get top, like they don't do anything. Like you need to go full out. And it feels like since then, that's what we've been seeing. By the way, I think I said the last year and a half of the second Trump administration, it's been less than a year.

It just feels like fucking an eternity. Well, and I hope shit like this starts opening people's eyes a little bit because I think everyone's so like myopically focused on Trump. And I think in the last six months we've seen that like, yeah, Trump's bad. But like, how did he get there? This is much bigger than him. Yeah. He was a broke boy before this. Trump's the dude on the box, right?

Like there's a bigger movement. So like people are like, I mean, especially like liberal people who like live on the box. the coasts are like, we just got to make it through this Trump administration that everything's going to be great again. And it's like, is it? Is it? Or are we giving them four years to get their shit together to buy up all these fucking voting machines and turn things inside out? And like you said, like we're going to be living in the must zone, the Bezos zone, the whatever zone. Like we got to, people need to start realizing this is a long-term problem. I made a whole video about the cool stuff that we got at the Bezos company store.

Exactly. Yeah. This is $70, honey. Oh, it tastes like $5 honey, but it's $70, honey. I got it for 50 because it's prime day in the Bezos zone. In your face, Musk losers. All it took worth. Good luck in your tunnel where there's a little bit of my blood plasma. And I was able to get a discount on my television. Yeah.

As it turns out, my DNA allows me to have as much diet coke lime as I'd like. Fucking sick. Yeah. Well, at least those of us in the Bezos and Musk zones will be better than the people in the Zucker nerd zones, you know, those losers. Oh, God. So it's being a mandated jujitsu lessons for everybody. This is one of the, this is one of those stories that just teases at like, oh, man, it must,

the shit that they're seeing on Instagram, the numbers they're getting back for what that shit is doing to people must be so, so bad because they're reportedly cracking down on what millions of young people can see on the platform by modifying teen accounts so that they're more in line with what they keep referring to as PG-13 movie ratings. So the platform could hide posts that might feature strong language or encourage harmful behaviors like risky stunts or marijuana paraphernalia. Oh, God. Ooh, careful.

Careful. So dangerous. I think the kids aren't going to be able to find out about that shit. I think we're good here. Yeah, I mean, I found out about weed through Instagram. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Changed my life.

But, yeah, I mean, I don't know. Like, they have fought restricting content for so long. Like, as fucking, you know, genocides are popping off in other countries and they're just like, yeah, well, not us. So, who knows? I mean, we do know that none of these people let their kids near the products that they sell to everyone else's. kids. Yeah. Our writer J.M. pointed out, though, the PG-13 rating is kind of a weird touch point

considering that it was basically just created because George Lucas dumped out his bad divorce vibes into Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in 84. So I always assume they created PG-13 for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. But it was actually that that shit was rated PG. That movie where like a victim is burned alive. They pull someone's heart out. Yeah. They pull someone's heart out.

It was so Kalima Shukti- And complained enough that the NPA was like Okay, maybe we were a little too lenient on that And then due to the outcry

Spielberg decided There needed to be an interval Between PG and R Wow, damn But isn't that also I mean, I don't remember Exactly what movie But I mean this is a tool

that studios have also used To like They're trying to target That 13 to 16 audience That can't get into ours So like sometimes when things are PG-13 and they're like, put some tits in it. Put a couple shits in there so we can get that PG-13.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Teenagers don't want to see a PG movie, right? That's for babies. So it's like, we've always walked this fine line, at least in cinema of like what's appropriate for children, right? Like, what is okay? And I mean, even some of these movies like that are animated have like very, like a lot of innuendo, like jokes that are supposedly like, oh, the kids won't get it, but you'll

get it. You're like, that was a straight up sexual innuendo. Like, what just happened? The character did the finger into the whole. whole gesture like that. Yeah, huh, huh, huh, sex. Yeah, you know, that's what she said.

Like, you know, like just weird shit. I'm like, okay, array. Wally and Eva just 69, I'm pretty sure. Nasty. But yeah, people have pointed out, like, there's a good documentary called this film is not yet rated about the way the MPA restricts sexual content

while allowing violence to be everywhere. One study found that PG-13 movies now contain more violence than Rated movies back in the 1980s. So just... So is Instagram trying to keep violence off of Instagram or tits or just weed? Because, like, I see all of those things every single day. Yeah.

Like, you know what I mean? Like, to a point where it's even I don't want to see that kind of stuff. Like, but then it's also really hit and miss. Like, I posted a picture of, like, literally edibles that were in a tin and was like, I really enjoy these. and I'm, like, still shadow banned from it. Like, I still can't monetize my account because I said, hey, I like these.

Wow. Got reported for, like, trying to sell things. And I was like, it, you can't even see what that is. But it's a tin. Yeah. It's a tin full of things. They are very specific about, like, what they're restricting and, like, marijuana and paraphernalia. They're real.

Yeah. But again, I think this is all part of, you know, this is why oligarchs running everything is so dangerous, because they're all going to get. get together to be like, what are the new social norms we want to push through our owned properties like our social media platforms or our newspapers or our film and TV networks or our video game developers? What are the new norms we subtly seed through these things to reflect back to somebody that X, Y, or Z is normal or not normal? And that's like, that's just what it just feels so overwhelming because every day you're reading about fucking like Larry Ellison or some

fuck buying some other huge media property or fucking Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner buying electronic arts. And it's like sometimes it's like, well, what kind of games are they make? Or sometimes it's going to be about like, what do they not make anymore? What do they not show you anymore? It's not necessarily about hitting somebody with an overt message where suddenly like, well, America is now the bad, whatever the fuck it is. It's also about what they don't show you and what they don't normalize and what they want to sort of nudge people towards. So, anyway, this is all very cool. Yeah.

Not unsettling at all, not 1984-ish, not, you know what I mean? Like, nothing. Why was I born in 1984? My character and Madden just got taken to the hospital for a weed overdose? What? Damn, this career mode sucks. Kids are just going to find a way around it, too. I mean, look at TikTok and all the extra wording that they have where it's like unalived, like 304, like segs.

Yeah, like all of that stuff. It's like they're still going to see what they want. You know what I mean? Strippers are still going to go work their shift and count their money on camera and tell you exactly how much they made. Because I mean, like, we were even chasing that shit, even like in the more certain buttoned up era where people were really like, don't look at this, don't look at that, don't look at them. I'm like, we found a way. We found a way. We always finds a way.

Yeah. But it will probably be used to restrict videos from Palestine that are shown. I mean, yeah. Yeah, that's already been happening. And be replaced with AI versions. Right, right. All right. Let's take a quick break.

We'll be back to talk about the Super Bowl, non-super Bowl, the halftime show, and Disney. We'll be right back. In the new podcast, Hell in Heaven, two young Americans moved to the cost. a Rican jungle to start over. But one will end up dead. The other tried for murder.

Not once. People went wild. Not twice. Stoned. But three times. John and Anne Bender are rich and attractive and they're devoted to each other. They create a nature reserve

and build a spectacular circular home high on the top of a hill. But little by little, their dream starts to crumble, and our couple retreat from reality. They lose it. They actually lose it. They sort of went nuts. Until one night, everything spins out of control. Listen to Hell in Heaven on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Wait, stop. What? Yeah. Ernie Shackleton sounds like a solid 70s basketball player. Who still wore knee pads. Yes. It's going to be a whole lot of history, a whole lot of funny, and a whole lot of guests. The great Paul Shear made me feel good. I'm like, oh, wow. Angela and Jenna, I am so psyched. You're here. What was that like for you soft launch into the show.

Sorry, Jenna, I'll be asking the questions today. I forgot whose podcasts we were doing. Nick Kroll, I hope this story is good enough to get you to toss that sandwich. So let's see how it goes. Listen to season four of Snap-Foo

with Ed Helms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. What's up everybody? This is Snacks from the Trap Ners podcast, and we're bringing you the horror every week all October long. Kicking up this month, I'll be bringing you all my greatest fear-inducing horror games

from Resident Evil to Silent Hill, me and Tony Bringing Back Fire Team on Left for Dead 2, and we're just going to be going over some of the greats. Also in October, we'll be talking about our favorite horror and Halloween movie, and figure out why black people always got to die first. The umbral reliquary

invites any and all fooling, brave enough, to peruse its many curiosities. But take it. All sales are final. Weekly horror side quests written and narrated by yours truly. With a full episode read and a commentary special. And we will cap it off with horror movie battle royale. Jason versus Freddie.

Michael Myers versus the 80th thing with the little tongue muster. October, we're doing it Halloween style. Listen to the trapners podcast from the Black Effect Podcast Network on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. In early 1988, federal agents race to track down the gang they suspect of importing millions of dollars worth of heroin into New York from Asia. We had 30 agents ready to go with shotguns and rifles and you name it. But what they find is not what they expected. Basically, your stay-at-home moms were picking up these large amounts of heroin. They go, is this your daughter?

I said yes. They go, oh, you may not see her for like 25 years. Caught between a federal investigation and the violent gang who recruited them, the women must decide who they're willing to protect and who they dare to betray. Once I saw the gun, I tried to take his hand and I saw the flash of light.

Listen to the Chinatown Stang on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you get your podcasts. And we're back. And Turning Point USA has announced that as an alternative to the Bad Bunny halftime show, they will be putting on the All-American halftime show at the Super Bowl, you know, one of those Super Bowl halftime shows that doesn't happen at the Super Bowl and caters exclusively to white supremacists. It's like when the, like, your school has.

a prom and they're like, don't go out drinking afterwards, we're going to do a lock-in where everybody can sleep in the gym together safely not touching. And you're like, uh, I'm going to go fuck my girlfriend and get high on marijuana. Yeah, like in the boiler room or something. You're not going to stop me. Get out of here.

Nerds. They announced this before booking any actual acts. That's what you do. Yeah. So you do. Of course. When you're a reactionary group like this. And their whole energy is giving off

not just that they don't have experience putting on halftime shows, but that they just found out what music is, because they, as they announced it, they issued a survey to their users saying, what music genres would you like to see featured? Select all that apply. Americana, classic rock, country, hip-hop, pop, worship, anything in English. Dude, Americana.

Wow. What are you going to fucking a Caruso? shopping center in Glendale? What is America? That's so broad. This land is your land. This land is... No, Americana is actually like a sub-drawna of country that is largely based in singer and

songwriter music. Thanks God. A little twangy. Okay. But it doesn't necessarily have like overt, like country stuff. So I'm trying to think of like an Americana artist that you would kind of know. I mean, Sierra Farrell is kind of Americana. It's sort of this...

Wait, Sierra hooked up with Farrell? Yeah. Those are the only two names I reckon. You wish. You wish. A lot of those genres like... You're saying it's sonically sounds like country like with like slide guitar, like lap guitar kind of thing.

It can, but not necessarily. Okay. So it's kind of like... More singer-songwriter. What is it not have? More singer songwriter, more acoustic-y. It could have all of those things, but it's not necessarily going to be like,

two chords in the truth, you know? Right, right, right, right, right. That country kind of thing, you know? But it can, it can involve elements of all of those things. And usually when they, when an artist is kind of buttonholed as Americana, it usually means that like they are playing, like there's usually going to be sort of like a banjo, a guitar, that kind of aesthetic, yeah, that it's, you know, very singer-song already is the best, the best kind of way I can kind of describe.

So it is an actual job. Well, now it is an actual job. Now we're over here, learning, and that's what Turning Point USA is after in the end. So a lot of right-wingerers were fooled by a fake poster for the event that was like boasting. The poster says, Turning Point USA, Kid Rock, America's Half-Time Show, Ted Nugent, Travis Trit, Jason Aldeen, Aaron Lewis of Stained, John Rich, Lee Greenwood, Forgiato Blow, featuring a guest appearance. from measles. And they didn't read to the end. No, they didn't.

A bunch of people were like, damn, look how fast they put this amazing lineup together. This is going to be incredible. Everyone was like sharing it. And like Alex Jones's guy, Owen Schroier, was like talking about how impressive it was that the conservative organization had packed in so much talent in such a tight time frame.

And he was also like, also isn't this show 20 minutes? How the fuck are you going to use all those people? They'll figure it out. Chops was it. Hey, Ivermectin brain. How are you going to get a fucking guest appearance from measles too? But okay. And also the second you look at it, you're like, this is AI slop.

Like the graphics of me, I'm like, come, I mean, whatever. They're not that they're literate in the shit. They spelled USA correctly. Yeah. Yeah. For someone who lives in the South, this looks like a very professional. This is a very professional poster, I'm telling you. Kid Rock himself probably woke up and was like, fuck, I got drunk last night.

What I say yes to is got an eagle on a hat and a beer. I must say, sounds legit, I'll be there. I will be there. Good luck to them. You know what I mean? Nobody's going to watch that shit. No. They know people are going to, I mean, we'll watch clips that people capture it to talk about it.

But I'm, I mean, I barely watch the Super Bowl as it is. But maybe they'll have us. I never watch it. I mean, I will be tuning in absolutely for bad money because I'm telling you what, we need to have more dog flap on TV. And as long as that man is doing that dance and you know what I'm talking about it. algorithm looks anything like mine that's all I want that's all I want for America is just

that's just it just I need some just flap it I want him just flopping in the wind dude I want to see him walk that dinosaur across the stage that's all I'm talking about I want him to re-record that song by was not was with bad money just walk in the dinosaur that's all I want is just a super edit of just dong flapping bunny with that in the background that's all I want

that's what I want that's my super ball maybe that'll change America's minds hearts and minds that would be so great if it was just like a bunch of close-ups on his dick shaking around

oh my god just actually trying to kill the people who were upset about this thrusting at the camera like this yeah yeah yes yes

it'll be me and John Hamm at home just happy as shit like hell yeah this is my shit John Ham's like hey man I had to open that door for people to bust it open he does like

me and Lenny Cravins and then it just does that like Zoom pool thing from Hitchcock movies and like Jaws where it like seems like the background is going away as you're getting closer to it and then it's just that for 45

minutes. Somehow you get that Dolly Zoom. Uh, Dolly Zoom is the word. Thank you, Miles. All right. Hey, Dolly. Speaking to the world of film. It was recently reported that a woman in her 60s tragically died on Disneyland's haunted mansion ride. The cause of death is yet

to be revealed. But this does fly in the face of a long, term urban legend that people are not allowed to die. No one dies at Disneyland other than the souls of exhausted parents because the people of Disney will immediately whisk anyone in need of medical help away so that they can be declared dead in some hospital and not in the happiest place on Earth because that would be a bummer. So obviously, legend's not true. Even before the Haunted Mansion incident, there have been many documented deaths at Disneyland, including a plane crash in the Epcot parking lot in 1984.

Damn. I feel like that would have been hard for them to just be like. Yeah, you can't whisk that away, right? You can't just be like, no, no, no, no. That was, that was a ride. That was a ride. And as we've covered on this show last year, a doctor suffered a fatal allergic reaction at a Disney World restaurant.

Yep. Despite having told the restaurant that they, you know, allegedly telling the restaurant that they had food allergy. And when in the wrongful death lawsuit, Disney attempted to wriggle out of that by citing Disney Plus's terms and conditions. Yeah, yeah. You'd be like, sorry, you agree to this term in condition from Disney Plus that says we're allowed to kill you.

So this is, seems like a straightforward, like, debunking story. And then our writer, J.M., is like, seemingly these rumors stemmed from the first ever homicide that occurred in the park. In 1981, a woman was pinched at a private party, leading her boyfriend to attack the guy he thought did it and ended up stabbing him at the submarine voyage ride security found the guy bleeding to death but instead of calling 911

they threw him in a Disneyland van with no siren and drove him to a hospital and Garden Grove even though two trauma centers which were better equipped to handle a stabbing were missed and everybody was like what the fuck did you do that for

And I, like, I think basically they found that it was because they were worried that paramedics would spoil the magic of other guests. So it's, it is, it did start with basically what we're talking about. Yeah. I mean, I would ask for a refund. The way I would ask for a refund immediately, because it's already so expensive. I'm like, I saw somebody fall down. I need a refund, man. I can't deal with this.

The fucking magic has been ruined, man. Well, especially if we saw somebody get stabbed, you're like, a submarine voyage. I did not know included shanking. Yeah, right, exactly. Okay. Somebody pops up in there. Well, we're glad that you've enjoyed

our evening of entertainment, but we have to get Captain Jack Sparrow out of here. Sorry. Yeah, sorry. Yeah, giving new meaning to the phrase stuck in line. The fuck are they?

Watch out now. The family of the victim filed a wrongful death suit against Disney for $60 million. They won the case, but only got $600,000 for some reason. What the fuck? That is so wild, man.

That's a very wild disparaging between 60 million and 600K. That's a huge difference. It's got a bit of a discount. You know what I mean? We threw some sweeteners in. We said they can go to Club 33 next time they come back to the murder scene. Right. Yeah.

Security guards rushed to the scene and found Yorba bleeding to death. According to media reports, Yorba may have been bleeding for as long as 20 minutes before a consequential decision was made. Instead of calling 911, Yorba was picked up and put into a Disneyland van, accompanied by two security guards and the nurse. The nurse? Without light, sirens, or even life-saving.

It was just a daffy duck in a nurse costume. Without even life-saving equipment, the van drove through city streets to a hospital and Garden Grove, two trauma centers, which were better equipped to handle a stabbing were missed. See, I wonder if this, though, is, like, related to race.

Do you know what I'm saying? Like, we're talking 80s. We're talking Orange County. We're talking, you know, there was a lot of prominent gain activity going around. You know, you guys remember the movie Colors, colors, colors, colors. Colors. Like, I feel like. Totally within Disneyland.

It was in Disneyland. You know, it's actually based on historic beef between Donald Duck and Daffy Duck, who I know are from different universes, but that's what I'm talking about, white duck, black duck. You know what I'm saying? Turf war. They're from different universes now. Absolutely.

But no, I wonder about that, right? Where they're like, no, we can't have gang activity. We can't have somebody bleeding. We can't have a violent. death, but they're like chokings. No, all right. Old lady has a heart attack. All right, but all right.

I mean, nobody wants to have violence at their park, but it does make it seem a little spooky, as they noted in their press release about the event. No, they didn't. All right. Yeah, this is so, it's so grim, but again, it's like, this makes so much sense, too, that they're like, I don't give a fuck about this person. I'm talking about my business, full. Like, I can't have people.

fucking expiring on the knowing about that shit, disappear this person into a van and deal with it off sight. The American way. That's right. Make it go away.

Make it go away. Make it go away. Dang. Damn. All right. Well, Lydia. Scrub the footage. And that's why

everybody should go to Dolly Park in the amusement park. Yeah. Honestly, yeah. You can die there in peace. You can die in peace, man. They don't even let you bring

knives in. You know how many dads I see take their pocket knife out of their pocket and go, what the fuck? And have to go back to the truck. I can't bring this buck knife in. No. What do you mean? Yeah. I can bring a gal of a sweet tea, but I cannot bring my knife. I don't understand. What about the one in my boot? Yeah, that one too. No, they have like full body scanners. Like when you walk through, like the same ones they have the airport where you just walk and then it like heats up a heat zone if you've got something on you or whatever. I was like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. They're like, oh, are you can over here. You can make They're like, hey, slow down, stop at it.

What is that? Hold on, young, man. Stop up. We got a special line for you. What kind of fucked up to do you? Checkpoint is this? They're like, sir, why you got all these socks in the front here? Oh, trying to save on luggage costs, man.

You know, shit's crazy. Very, very cold, very cold. Lydia, where can people find you, follow you, all that good stuff? Sure. You can follow me on Instagram, PG-13 and up only, please. that's right at hater tuesday is where you can find me there same thing on tic-tok i don't post on tic-tok as much because i barely post enough on an instagram let's i'm not hauling things you know what i mean maybe i need to start putting my groceries on there who knows my website

Those are upcoming shows, and there'll be other stuff in between there. But if you check those places, where you can come and find me and see me in the streets, holler at me and Kroger. You know what I'm saying? Some ladies stopped me in Walmart once and was like, are you, Lydia Popovich?

And I said, who are you trying to serve me? She's like, no. Just a fan, just a fan. Just saw you at a show in Franklin last week. And I was like, oh, all right. How you doing? But yeah, that's how you find me. Yeah, it was very unsettling.

I was just like, I'm in White House, Tennessee at a Walmart. This woman knows my full name. And then I was like, oh, that's right, you are a public-facing person. Duh. And I forget sometimes. Lydia Popovich, you've been served. My adoration as your number one fan. Is there a work of media you've been enjoying?

I mean, I already kind of spoiled it. As previously stated, I've been trying to really tighten up my algorithm. And right now, I am getting served a lot of bad bunny doing the dance from the Puerto Rico residency. And honestly, I just keep saving them. And when I have a moment of sadness, when I just want to feel happy, a little silly, just click on over to that saved bar, look into that little thing, and then just a couple minutes of walking the dinosaur, and I'm right back at it, right back in a good mood. So, you know, I say, you know, embrace some dong flapping in your life. Is it a silly dance? This generation's DeAngelo, untitled, how does it feel music video?

I mean, possibly, I was thinking about that earlier because I was thinking about how, God, that really, that video really was a moment for a lot of us. I've only had two moments in my life. The first one was with Carl Weathers when I was watching Action Jackson when that first movie came out. I went on my first date to go see that movie and watching him walk around in those jeans with no shirt just fucking painted on. I thought his thighs were arguing with his pants. And then he starts making out with Apollonia and I was just like, I got to do something about this. You know what I mean? I was like, I feel things.

That's how my body awakened. And certainly the second time it happened was watching that untitled video. Yeah, I got to meet Carl Weathers, shook his hand, and his hand engulfed my entire forearm. His hands were, he's just, oh, my God. Yeah. Such a beefcake, man. Up until the day he died. I mean, I still, I still diddled it to it when he was in Happy Gilmore.

I was like, yep, he's still got it. I don't care if he's got one. I don't care of one of those hands. What did he has himself? Woo! Yes. Carl Weathers was fine as hell. He could still get it and he's dead.

God damn. alligator bit my hand on Miles where can people find you Is there work in media you've been enjoying Find me everywhere At Miles of Gray I'm talking about 90 day fiancee I'm 420 day fiance

Croaty um let's see Oh a couple of things Just works in media I just more like little news things That I relish in that happened over the weekend Drake's lawsuit against universal music He was like Kendrick bodied me in a rap battle

But you guys weren't playing fair That shit got dismissed. So, Lobby and Graham, go fucking sit down. You wanted to fucking cross swords with a rapper you did. And you got it. Now, just move on. And you tried to sue? Come on, man.

Come on, guy. So bitch made. Yeah, really sad. But again, makes total sense because he has, this is the reason why people are just like, I don't know if this guy understands hip hop actually. Oh, right. He doesn't know what we're doing. He just makes hits, which is fine.

That's your lane. Look, we enjoyed them along the way, but you shouldn't. He also on top. Makes abs, okay? He made abs. He got the maid. He's got them. He does so much.

Literally. He's got it like that. He bought it like that. A work of medium liking, just everything happening with DeAngelo, Josh Gondelman, who's like the nicest guy. You know, we've had him on this show, Boosty's before. He's just, like, just sweetest dude. Just his post about DeAngelus is it Josh Gondelman.

This guy does social. Jesus, Josh, what the fuck? Yeah, pack watch. Rest in piss? Hold on. Why is he smoking a blunt? He said, and I can just hear it in his voice. I'm really sad about DiAngelo.

He made so much of the best music in the history of music. Everyone's remembrances of the artist and his work are making me emotional. And just his very sincere observation made me emotional because I feel that shit too. So thank you. Yes, Josh. Yes. Josh, yes. Oh, sweet.

All right. A work of media I've been enjoying. Andrew Nadeau tweeted, just saw onto the sidelines. They literally have enough footballs for all the players. They're making them fight over that one for no reason. Fucking truth bomb. Hell yeah.

We're at The Daily Zykegeist on Instagram. You can go to the description of the episode wherever you're listening to it. And there at the bottom, you will find the footnotes, which is where we link off to the information

that we talked about in today's episode. We also link off to a song that we think you might enjoy. Miles, is there a song that you think the people might enjoy? Yeah, there's a whole fucking album that you should enjoy. It's called voodoo. Okay? It's DeAngelo. Look, he made three albums.

Black Messiah is also great. Brownshik classics. Voodoo, to me, And people know I love music. Voodoo to me is one of the most perfect, like albums, creations. You know, like, Marvin Gay is what's going on is like a classic. People always talk about that. And it's a seamless album.

For me, generationally speaking, Voodoo is that album for me. And for people who really like music, like if you, people don't know that Jay Dilla, I'm a huge J. Dilla fan, he was in a lot of these recording sessions. He's not, he's not credited in the liner notes for working on Voodoo. But at Electric Ladyland Studios where they were recording, there were all these artists swirling around at the same time during the recording of Voodoo that just give it all these little touches. And Questlove, he was also the drummer on it, one of the producers on it.

Another reason why Voodoo sounds so good. He talks about all this collaboration that happened and like the magic around that and like these just how intentional they were with this album. This album is fantastic. Listen to every song on it. One of my favorite songs is called One Mogian, and that is one of my favorites. It's like sexy rain music.

It's painful. It's beautiful. Oh, man. DeAngelo is just such a fantastic. And music nerds even though, too, the chord progressions this guy was playing. So top-notch. So next level.

To you, it just sounds really good. But when you really think about what was actually being played, you're like, the variation is unbelievable. Anyway, rest of beast, DeAngelo, love you. Check out one more again from the voodoo album. Please. And we will link off to that in the footnotes. The Daily Zykeyes to the production of IHeartRadio for more podcasts from IHartRadio,
