Oh, hey there, it's me, Jack. You've caught me unwinding, enjoying a large goblet of delicious eggnog, untangling my brain, gaining five to fifteen pounds of eggnog. While we unwind here at Daily Zeitgeist, in addition to publishing our normal year-end episodes and Santa's University, etc., We've decided to take the opportunity to count down the top 10 episodes of the year published over the next 10 days. The 10 days that will be off Monday through Friday, two weeks in a row. How, Jack, how did you guys determine the top 10 episodes? They were all equally incredible. Well, we used a little something called democracy.

Ever heard of it? Depending on when you listen to this episode that might not be such a rhetorical question. But anyways we let you vote on the most listened to episodes of the year to see what you liked best and you're about to hear your answers. Just 10 bangers right in a row. We've got a trending episode in the mix. We got a lot of good ones. And at number one, well, let's just say you'll find out, especially if this is the number one episode. We're putting the same bumper at the start of all 10. So we hope you enjoy it.

We hope you enjoyed listening to this year of TDZ as much as we enjoyed making it. And we will see you all in 2025. We hope you have a restful holiday. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I'm gonna fucking lose. Let that go, y'all. Let's let it go. You know, somebody texted me, it was like, where are we watching the fight? I was like, we're not motherfucker. What are you thinking? I would sooner do a heroin.

Yeah, but you've actually been itching to try heroin for a while. Yeah, I'm just kind of using this as an excuse. Yeah, I would. The third time this week, you said, I'd sooner do heroin. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I've been trying to fuck with Cheeba, you know, hear a lot of good things about it.

Is that what they call it? That's such a soft name for smoking heroin. Like Cheeba sounds like it should be weed. Yeah. Like Cheeba. Cheeba. Cheeba. Yeah.

What up? That's how they get you. That's how they get you to start smoking heroin. A gateway word. It starts with Cheeba and then you end up in Cheeba. That's right. get you to start smoking heroin. A gateway word. It starts with cheeb and then you end up in archieva. But I don't know, that was like I think a valley thing that people are saying. Oh, this is like shooting cheeb, dude. Hey, do you want to go up? There's a lot of slang.

All January, I'll be joined by inspiring guests who will help you kickstart your personal

growth with actionable ideas and real conversations. We're talking about topics like building community and creating an inner and outer glow. I always tell people that when you buy a handbag, it doesn't cover a childhood scar. When you buy a jacket, it doesn't reaffirm what you love about the hair you were told not to love. So when I think about beauty, it's so emotional because it starts to go back into the archives of who we were, how we want to see ourselves, and who we know ourselves to be and who we can be. So a little bit of past, present, and future, all in one idea, soothing something from the past. And it doesn't have to be always an insecurity. It can be something that you love.

All to help you start 2025 feeling empowered and ready. Listen to Therapy for Black Girls, starting on January 1st on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

I'm so excited to be here. This is so exciting. I know you were saying the tailing is like guys, it's real good. It's so fun to see you have you man.

Been killing it on TV. On After Midnight? I love doing that show. It's such a fun show. I love all the comments too. Like some people really hate me, which is always amusing. But there's like fans that are like, she gets the show. She knows what to do with the show.

She's not overthinking it. She's doing what she's supposed to do, which is exactly what I do. It's like so many comedians call me to be like, she gets the show. She knows what to do with the show. She's not overthinking it. She's doing what she's supposed to do, which is exactly what I do. It's like so many comedians call me to be like, what's your advice? I'm like, stop taking it seriously guys. Right. Yeah, exactly. Just react.

Yeah. They're like, well, how much stuff are you like free writing? Man, like, I'm doing my shit. Just have fun. Just have fun. Exactly. How many days are you drilling before you do that? Yeah, I try wars in my head in the shower every day.

Who's your coach? Yeah, it's like, is it cool if I work with them or? All right, Marcella, we're thrilled to have you. We're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, a couple of things we're talking about. The Onion just bought Infowar. Hoo hoo hoo! This like smallest sliver of good news.

We'll take it baby, thank you. The Onion, we'll also talk about Blue Sky, which seems to be gaining momentum. It's now the number one app in the app store. What? Yeah. That's fucking crazy. That is crazy, cause it's not great.

It's not. I mean, none of them are. Not to say the blue guy's like bad. It's just none of them are great anymore. It's still working some things out. But it's got the right, it's got the right, they're starting from the right place. You know what I mean? There's no main character who's running it.

Yeah, I mean, all of them. You don't know. People are corrupt. We all, it all takes time. But right now it's the good part where we don't know how fucked up it is. Yeah, that's why they're number one. We'll talk about how the right is mad

that nobody wants to spend Thanksgiving with them. And the horny snowman movie, which I don't think I've even seen the trailer for this. Have we watched the trailer? Yeah. Oh, okay. Were you not here? Maybe I missed it.

What is the premise? Oh, maybe you're out. Oh, you really don't know. This woman like puts a scarf on a fucking snowman being like, oh, maybe this. And it turns into like this hot white guy that she has sex with. And then she just. Yeah, basically. You say you see I am the beast. He's the ality. Oh, I said you. But I mean, if what he's working down there is like a dirty carrot, like his nose.

Yeah, yeah. You nasty. I think there are carrot jokes in it. Anyway, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, well, before we get that story, we'll make sure you see the trailer. And that's the level of comedy that I've always aspired to is Netflix rom-com level comedy. Oh, there's jokes in there that I just made. Yeah.

Cool. I suck. Marcella? Yes. Before we get to any of that bullshit, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Well, this morning I posted, I'm reading this book and I posted that I find the history of boxing so interesting.

And my friend reached out to be like, oh my god, I love you know boxing I take boxing and I do Brazilian jujitsu and maybe be like how long has to a Brazilian jujitsu been around not very long. I was wondering if it was one of the old ones or not But yeah, it's been around since like that 20s. I think yeah It's a gift from immigrants 2020 gift from immigrants 10 years ago. Yeah. Yeah The 2020. Yeah, the gift from immigrants. 10 years ago. Yeah, yeah.

2020. But anyways, I thought that was cool. Cause you know, some of the techniques are ancient and then like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was like, the remix. Yeah, exactly. And I was saying how like, I loved, I mean, I loved Jiu Jitsu because it feels like a mad,

like feels like magic tricks with your limbs. And I find that so powerful to watch, but. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was one of the ones. And I find that so powerful to watch. But yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was one of the lines. And I also, I have a distant relative named Alexis Arguella who was a boxer and his big notorious fight was, oh my God, Pryor, what's his name?

I forget his name now. But anyways, I'm reading this really cool book about him. And I put it there. Are you even gonna bother to watch Mike Tyson lose to that one that one you know I I don't know because I do have a show tomorrow I mean tonight I have a show tonight right because it's good job yeah thank you and fucking bailed us out yeah yeah I have a show tonight, Friday. November 15th.

National, what is it, curtilote? Yeah, yeah. It is an honor of that. Rotten tomato sauce date. It's south of the tomato, yeah. But I have it, so that show, I'm like, do I watch it? Do I not watch it? My brother was like, the undercard is really cool because there's these two chicks.

And I was like, oh, that's interesting. That's what somebody was telling me. Yeah. They were trying to get me in by saying the undercard is really good. But like, I can't do it. I can't do another election night. Like, you know? I hear you.

Yeah, fuck it. It's a lose-lose situation. Like, you don't want to see Mike Tyson then being like, oh, I'm gonna keep fighting. You're like, dude, you're almost 60 years old. And then also to just watch a white guy beat up a six-year-old black guy, I'm like, I don't know if I need to see this either.

Yes. Very, it's very symbolic for what's going on. Yeah. That's I'm like, the symbolism might be too hard. It's on the nose. There was a new story where like a 17 year old Trump supporter, like punched a 70 year old elderly woman. It's that it's just that.

Right. Exactly. But I did. That was the thing that I posted about the book I was reading was like, it's interesting to learn so much about Alexis Arguello specifically knowing now that you can just be some guy and You know stream your your quote-unquote match Yeah, I think that's the thing that like that

I had to really embrace was realizing to and every all these fights you like dude this one this motherfucker actually might beat up whatever Logan Paul or Jake whoever the fuck it is and you're always like and that's how they get people in but they're never gonna fucking pick someone that they're like yo this motherfucker might beat up our guy like we're gonna get a check so just knowing that that's the construction under which it all happens no I will not be burdened by what has been right yeah I mean just just knowing like oh has so many followers, so that's why we're doing it. It's like, oh my God, like, where are we at in the world?

But this is where we're at. What is something you think is underrated, Marcel? Underrated is being in a good mood right now. Everyone seems to be so gloom and doom, doom scrolling, all sad in their feelings. And I just, I keep having to remind people, I'm gonna remind listeners, because I know some of you are doing it as well, but like, he's not president yet.

I keep telling people, think of it as New Year's Day. Like it's New Year's Eve right now. You fucking get your groove on right now. Celebrate right now, be happy right now. Well, you know, things are a little more chill and you know, donate money if you can to whatever, wherever. Even fucking a person, celebrate right now, be happy right now. Well, you know, things are a little more chill and, you know, donate money if you can to whatever, wherever. Even fucking a person, a homeless person, give them an extra five spot, you know, do something.

But this gloom and doom shit is not helping anybody. It's not fun. I mean, I also understand not wanting to walk around smiling, especially if you're a white person, because then people are just gonna wanna punch you. But also, and people are gonna wanna punch you no matter what, so. Right now, everybody's looking at white people. Might as well get a high five while you're doing it.

Hey, buddy, up top! Or you can buy our blue bracelets that you go rock around with and let people know you're one of the safe ones. Is that a real thing that's happening? Yeah, it's a white woman thing, yeah. They're like, I don't wanna get lumped in with the, I'm the 47%, not the 53%. Yeah, it's kinda weird. It's all fucking. I don't want to get lumped in with the 47%, not the 53%.

It's kind of weird. It's all fucking. It's like, girl, we can tell if we go on your Instagram, we can tell who you are. I used to have a bit, I mean, I should still do it, but it's like, you know, nobody knows who's actually racist and who's actually not racist. Like you, only you know, like only you know

what goes through your mind when you're on an elevator with a black guy, white lady. Okay, so like that's who you really are. And like just accept that. But like the whole blue bracelet shit is like, lady, get, get, I also feel like your listeners wouldn't do that. No, no, I think- The blue bracelets?

No, they are an advertiser, Marcella, so. Oh shit, my bad. We're trying to make it seem- Shout out blue bracelets. Bye. Slash TVZ, get a 50% off very dark. Oh, slash TVZ get a outreach to white ladies. A good one.

An important movement. We gotta meet them where they're at. I can just see people like doing the opposite of like the purse clutching and actually like rolling up their sleeve. Be like, See that? Not like just, you know, itching the side of their face with their blue bracelet on display.

I'm, I'm, I'm with the status quo. Just want to let you know, we gon be all right. We're going to be all right. Oh my God. There was a white, I was, I was judging a roast battle and this white boy was wearing like a, it was like in the style of Lakers, it said they're not, they're, what is the Kendrick song?

I'm already, I'm fucking blinking. Not like us. They're not like us. They're not like us. He has it, it says they not like us, but it's like Lakers, you know, they not like us, right? Not like us. But it didn't say Lakers, it says they're not like us. And I was like, I'm judging him and I was like us. And I was like, oh, Judge E. Kamen, I was like,

so distracted, I was like, you're white. They are not like you, take that shirt off. It always, it cracked me up anyways. I mean, look, it always, it's inevitable. Everything does get hijacked by white culture eventually. Like there was a clip of like those people, I don't know what it was, it was some kind of business convention

where all those white people were on stage like celebrating their company. And they're like, they're not like us. They're not like us. Oh my God. Pop around everybody in the convention. And you're like, oh boy. Hey, speaking of the Super Bowl's gonna be fire.

Yeah. Because of Kendrick, like that performance is gonna be interesting no matter what now with what's going on. He's definitely gonna do something. I feel like he won't let it not be interesting. Which is what you you need because there's gonna be a lot of pressure to make it not interesting. Yeah, he's gonna be pushing He's gonna be pushing for sure. That's what's cool about him So now now everyone should be happy that he's a Super Bowl performer cut to him cut to him doing something really fucking

He's like we need unity y'all we need need to come together. Like, what the fuck? Just white woman in booty shorts. It's a bunch of them. It's like, whoa, which is it? I don't know what I believe. Marcel, what's something you think is overrated? Oh my God, I had something written down in my head and I didn't actually write it down.

I have no idea. I don't know. I have nothing. I'm sorry. That's cool. Yeah, I know you guys don't give a fuck. Yeah, all right. I have nothing. I'm sorry. That's cool. Yeah, I know you guys won't give a fuck. Yeah, all right. If I remember, I'm gonna say it,

but I don't remember anything. Let's blur it out. When did you think of it? Like last night? In the shower, like 30 minutes ago. Damn, what was it about? What'd you think? I don't know, that's what I'm saying.

I was like, oh, I'm gonna do this, and I'm gonna do that. But I had to wash my hair, do my hair. Yeah. Overrated suckings, wash my hair, do my hair. Overrated fucking Democrats. Oh, my God. Hit them. But just right now, just right now. What? The Democrats are overrated just right now. Just right now. Just right now.

Yeah. Well, we'll see how many people just are like, no, you're right. The fucking Hakeem Jeffries is the one to lead the resistance. Oh, man, that is conversation privately. But yeah, I'm interested to see what happens. Yeah. I'm here. I'm not. I'll say this. I don't want to see the same faces. I mean, that's who's gonna be the ones who are going to be at the table, though. So that's where people have to get in line. So they the thing is, if people if the Democrats see people being like, well,

what are we gonna do? Then they're gonna be like, all right, we got them. We got them. We got right. We're all right. But if you were like, bro, I'm not trying to hear shit from you right now. I mean, who knows if that'll be in enough numbers where they actually understand that something has to change. But I mean, right now they're putting so much energy and not changing that. Oh, that made me think of a good overrated thinking you can move whatever movement forward and whatever group you're in without providing mentorship. This like concept that a lot of

people have where they're like, I'm so good at this. I don't need to teach anybody anything. Like everyone will learn from me. And it's like, I'm so good at this, I don't need to teach anybody anything. Like everyone will learn from me and it's like, no, pick someone to mentor, help that one person get better so they can maybe replace you or maybe they can figure out who can replace you. Like that's the thing, I definitely have noticed it in comedy and obviously in politics. It's like people are so like, no, no,

I'm the best at this thing. So I'm gonna never fucking share anything with anyone. It's like, bro, that's not how this shit works. We all need to like, we so like, no, no, I'm the best at this thing. So I'm going to never fucking share anything with anyone. It's like, bro, that's not how this shit works. We all need to like, we need to be mentoring. We need to be helping people. We need to be lifting each other up. So not, not mentoring, I guess. But that, that, that tendency that people have.

Yeah. And the person you mentor to replace you don't have them be 87 years old when it's their time to replace you. Yeah, what the fuck? That would be my advice. All right. We're going to take a quick break.

We're going to come back and talk about the onion. We'll be right back. Hey, y'all. I'm Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, host of Therapy for Black Girls, and I'm thrilled to invite you to our January Jumpstart series for the third year running. All January, I'll be joined by inspiring guests who will help you kickstart your personal growth with actionable ideas and real conversations. We're talking about topics like building community and creating an inner and outer glow.

I always tell people that when you buy a handbag, it doesn't cover a childhood scar. When you buy a jacket, it doesn't reaffirm what you love about the hair you were told not to love. So when I think about beauty, it's so emotional because it starts to go back into the archives of who we were, how we want to see ourselves, and who we know ourselves to be and who we can be. So a little bit of past, present, and future,

all in one idea, soothing something from the past. And it doesn't have to be always an insecurity. It can be something that you love. All to help you start 2025 feeling empowered and ready. Listen to Therapy for Black Girls starting on January 1st on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro,

host of the hit podcast, Family Secrets. How would you feel if when you met your biological father for the first time, he didn't even say hello? And how would you feel if your doctor advised you to keep your life altering medical procedure a secret from everyone? And what if your past itself was a secret and the time had suddenly come to share that past with your child? These are just a few of the

powerful and profound questions we'll be asking on our 11th season of Family Secrets. Some of you have been with us since season one and others are just tuning in. Whatever the case and wherever you are, thank you for being part of our Family Secrets family, where every week we explore the secrets that are kept from us, the secrets we keep from others, and the secrets we keep from ourselves.

Hey everyone, I'm Madison Packer, a pro hockey veteran going on my 10th season in New York. And I'm Anya Packer, a former pro hockey player and now a full Madison Packer stan. Anya and I met through hockey, and now we're married and moms to two awesome toddlers. And on our new podcast, Moms Who Puck, we're opening up about the chaos of our daily lives

between the juggle of being athletes, raising children, and all the messiness in between. We're also turning to fellow athletes and beyond to learn about their parenthood journeys and collect valuable advice, like FIFA World Cup winner Ashlyn Harris. I wish my village would have prepared me for how hard motherhood was going to be. And Peloton instructor and Ratchet Mom Club founder, Kirsten Ferguson.

And I remember going in there, hot mess. So listen to Moms Who Puck, a production of iHeart Women's Sports and Deep Blue Sports and Entertainment on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Elf Beauty, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. I'm Dr. Lari Santos. by Elf Beauty, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. I'm Dr. Laurie Santos. I'm a psychology professor at Yale, and I started to notice that a lot of my students weren't all that happy, so I created a new class.

Welcome everybody to psychology and the good life. It became the biggest class in the history of Yale. I'm a little bit surprised to see as many of you are here as are here, but that's great. But it's not just my students who need to understand the science of well-being, and that's why we But it's not just my students who need to understand the science of wellbeing. And that's why we launched the Happiness Lab, so you can learn about it too.

Are you ready to feel happier? Head to the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or if you like to listen. Brought to you by the 2024 Subaru Share the Love event, now through January 2nd. Now we're back! January 2nd. available till further notice. Till. Yeah. I like the colloquial. That's because the onion, the satire site that seems to have better politics than the Democratic Party in so many ways just bought Infowars at a bankruptcy auction. Yeah.

We were just talking yesterday like, who's going to do it? Who's going to buy it up? And like, I know fucking Alex Jones, he was even saying, maybe the good guys will come in, you know, Roger Soder, Elon Musk. No, it was the fucking opposite. We got a fucking satire comedy website being like, yeah, this is ours now. And we got plans to fuck this thing up. I'm sure there is somebody in some like lead business position that sucks shit, as is often the case with media companies.

But yeah, I've heard good things about the whole Ben Collins regime of the onion. So it looks like their plan is to relaunch Infowars as a satirical site, partnering with advertiser. That phrase always gives me a little bit of a pause, a little nervous, partnering with advertisers. But the advertiser in this case is Everytown for Gun Safety, which is a nonprofit dedicated to ending gun violence that was founded in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook shooting. Well, that's beautiful, supposedly.

That is. That is supposedly beautiful, kind of. On its face, supposedly. That is. That is supposedly beautiful, kind of. On its face, beautiful. Yeah. So according to Ben Collins, the CEO of Onion's semi-fictional parent company, what is it? Like global tetrahedron. Tetrahedron, yeah. Yeah. They are satirically evil, parent company.

They say Infowars will return in January as a parody of itself, but he has not said how much they spent. But they own it all though. They own everything. They bought everything. I thought somebody like, yeah, I need some lighting gear. I might just like swoop out and be like, no, no, no, we got it all. No, everything. I mean, it's easier for the auctioneer, you know, to just bump it all in. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I got a guy with a cash deal man. He's even gonna buy the shitty pills, too Yeah, they own all of it like even the intellectual property for brain Everything so I guess yeah Alex Jones I have to find a new way to just relabel Flintstones vitamins and tell people it'll help you live longer

I mean, I'm interested to see what happens because I remember when the Colbert report, you know, happened, it was really funny if you knew what you were watching, but people really believed that he was right wing. And I remember even when he exited and was, you know, transitioning into late night, late night, he had to this really, Stephen Colbert had this really great Rolling Stone interview and he was just like explaining basically who he was because people hadn't really had that perspective. And it was like, man, people have no idea.

This guy's just like a good guy. Right. This is, they were, they so believed that character. Right. Right. Right. I mean, yeah, who knows how far they go with it. I mean, like the, their sort of press release comment on it is definitely, it's like so like

tongue in cheek. I don't know what they're, what they're about to do. Is that with a shrewd mix of delusional paranoia and dubious anti-aging nutrition hacks, Infowars strives to make life both scarier and longer for everyone a commendable goal. They're a true unicorn capable of simultaneously inspiring public support for billionaires and stoking outrage at an inept federal state that can both assassinate JFK but can't even put a man on the moon. But yeah, they seem to be, I don't know, taking dead aim at all the shit that is crazy about

Infowars. Alex Jones seems unhappy, like mildly concerned. I don't know. What's your read on that? I think he's always unhappy. He's just posting freaked out videos from inside his studio, supposedly refusing to leave. Oh my God, really?

Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, it is seven. Ladies and gentlemen, now that's all I hear and then Sierra comes in. Ooh, wee! I just got word 15 minutes ago That my lawyers and folks met with the US trustee over our bankruptcy This morning and they said where they're shutting us down even without a court order this morning

The Connecticut Democrats with the onion newspaper You didn't even face there the white like you'd never heard of it was. So they changed all the bidding rules, made it secret two days ago. I had a bad feeling. I told you that just like they tried to shut us down back in late May without a court order. They're supposed to have a court order. There's going to be a yeah. Yeah. Fucking cry. Let's see the end. Are you actually crying? This is the tyranny of the new world war desperate to silence the American people. OK, all right. We get it. We get it. Yeah. The best though is like on that channel Fox now that like, you know, weird, subsidiary of Fox News. They have insight that I check every

morning. Exactly. They have no idea how sad. This is this is them talking about the purchase of the info wars by the onion. The onion is a satirical site and manages to persuade people to believe itself as the world's leading news publication offering highly acclaimed universally revered coverage of breaking international and local news events. It has 4.3 trillion daily readers. Jones has been saying on his show that if his actors bought it.

You know what I was going to say when you were done showing these videos is I wonder how much of the right wing humor is gonna be taken seriously because these people have no concept of satire. Right. That is so wild. That's wild. That's proof. Just reading it, like not even just being like

it's a satire. 4.3 trillion daily readers. 4.3 trillion daily listeners. Yes, yes, yes. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yep. Yep, that really proved my point that I hadn't made yet, but I was thinking, I was like, let me say this,

because I just picture trolls actually posting screenshots of them thinking that something is real, and it's like, I didn't even realize that people thought the onion was real, like the news. I mean, that is like an in. like Jones said, whatever the fuck that is, not only do I not know, you obviously don't know what the onion is, person viewing this. But then they'll probably see the headlines and they're like, they're right about the Democrats.

I mean, I think this is a good first baby step in the direction of more mean things done by people with good politics. I think that is something that's missing. Whatever the Democratic Party's whole just being like, I don't know why you're angry, things are good, we did a good job, just doesn't seem to resonate with people and so the magicide has a Monopoly on people who are feeling angry, you know and so people who are willing to fucking be assholes in The name of the truth I think is going to become more and more important in

These next four years. Oh, you're saying that my voice finally matters, that people are gonna actually listen to me? Oh, what a release time. Joe Rogan to the left. It's time to arise, Joe Rogan. More like, ho Rogan. Hey, ladies and gentlemen. Watch, and that shit blows up.

I should think of yourself as a ho Rogan. Ho Rogan, good show. Yo, ho Rogan. Yo, lock that. I should've made a good show. Home Rogan, good show. Home Rogan, yo. It's me, Home Rogan. I'm green lighting us right now. Yeah. I'm writing it down. You're ready to hear first, people.

Interesting conversations, yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure. Just asking questions. Also, The Onion already had an Infowars parody in 2017 called Patriot Hole, but it kind of fizzled out. What? Yeah. Yeah, cause they have no fucking sense of humor,

these people. Right, right. And it's also. What? Yeah. Yeah, cause they have no fucking sense of humor, these people. Right, right. And it's also like- They're using a slur, they're just like, this isn't comedy. Right. It's also like hard to satirize because it's so transparently on its face,

bad and stupid, but I, you know, they are the best at it, so. Are they? Okay. The onions, they are the best at it. So. Okay. The onions, they're good. I'm just kidding. Relax, white dude. Relax. They're fine. Okay. Alex Jones.

Relax. It's the fucking best. Yeah. Our writer, Jam said the fact that they had a website that failed and are now owning it for is like if Mel Brooks made space balls, then bought the rights to Star Wars, the entire Star Wars franchise, like seven years later. Right. So yeah, I own that too.

That'll be interesting. All right. Blue Sky. Blue Ski. I kind of like Blue Ski. Yeah, I do want to say that. Didn't, uh, isn't that what Gondolin said yesterday? Ski, ski, ski. Yeah. Oh yeah, Blue Ski. Someone said Blue Ski the other day. Yeah. I like Blue Ski it? Yeah, I would say this. Didn't isn't that what Donald said yesterday? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Blue. Someone someone said blue ski. Yeah, I like blue ski. I mean, I think a lot of people do because like Elon's dismantling of Twitter and ascent to the highest echelons of right wing fuckery

has sent many people for the exits. And the election basically just cemented all of this. So the day after election, Twitter saw like the biggest number of account deactivations possible. And that's since Musk bought the platform because that was the other time they saw just a ton of people be like, nah, we're gone.

This is bad even for you, man. Yeah. I mean, and I've definitely seen it. Like you can see like followers counts going down and it makes sense why the fuck, there's no real reason anymore to participate on Twitter. For the longest time I was just like holding out for like, you know, the gallows humor and like black Twitter

stuff that was like the only good parts to me. But now the shit feels so cooked. Like I totally understand now that it's like, man, why the fuck are we even like playing in this man's fucking sandbox. So now they're all going to blue sky and threads. Unfortunately, I just want to say threads fucking saw wait a second. Yes. Yes. Trying. I've been trying. Not even like it's not even like necessarily like the people because like it's less, you know, like wacky shit on there.

But it's so like sanitized and Adam Mosseri, who's the head of Instagram. When threads came out, he was like articulating, he's like, this is not a place where we're gonna like be like helping like hard live news or like, like political discussion. It's basically like a sanitized brand, fucking conversation space. And so it's really doesn't have like that, that sort of same kind of vibe of like, like early Twitter. I can't even use the word bitch on there every time I use the word bitch It's like are you sure you wanna you wanna?

Yeah Yeah, it's it's anytime I say it any Anything even slightly whatever but I noticed it's like bite bitch is like which I was was like, my specialist called bitch corrupt. I can't even post my special. This is crazy. Yeah. And the other thing too, is like they also have like the threads feed is also like algorithmic fuckery where you really have no control over what you see. So also the other thing, starting today, November 15, in the terms and conditions

of x formally Twitter, we're calling it X now because we're gone. Yeah, I guess that's fair. I mean, whatever. We still hold the old days. Rest in peace, Twitter. It's a good day. My heart's letting go. Yeah, okay Elsa.

You can't even get through this sentence. I know, it's fucking me up. But the terms and conditions of Twitter. You old now, Playboy. I know, I'm stuttering and shit. You were young when you were on there. Look at you, you got a kid now. Grow up, dog.

This shit was 2009 when I was on. You know what I mean? You still haven't touched Twitter's bedroom. All their stuff is still where they left it. Oh my God. So sad. Empty nest indeed, eh? Oh shit. So also, so today, Twitter is going to be training its AI on all your tweets starting today.

Like this is going forward from today. They're like, you Grok will now be feasting upon all your tweets. And that's this is going forward from today. They're like you, Grok will now be feasting upon all your tweets and that's how we're going to get this thing talking like a regular person. It's also the day coincidentally where Texas becomes like the legal venue for any like legal dispute for anyone that has some beef with Twitter and the court that like and according to the terms and conditions, the court that will hear these cases will be in Tarrant County, which is just like near Austin.

And the judge who oversees that court has a bunch of Tesla stock. So, you know what I mean? It's a fucking wrap. You know, it's, yeah, they're like, we're locking it up. We're locking it up. Corruption. I've actually heard. It's not as unfair as that seems.

You actually solve all of your problems in a fair corporate arbitrage situation where they just get to shoot at you, but you do get to like move around. So it's like not, a lot of people are like, that's a firing squad. You actually get to like try and move around as much as you can with your legs. Oh yeah. Your leg shackles or only a foot. Squid games in Texas. Texas squid games. Texas games.

Tell them. Singing. Texas squid games. This is crazy. But all the beautiful voice, by the way. We should just stop and acknowledge. What a voice. Thank you so much.

I thought you were kind of doing the first cut is the deepest sort of melody right there. Oh. I wasn't sure. I was trying to pinpoint it. No, I was just bouncing around. But anyway, I think this is what has made like Blue Sky comparatively like a nice breath of fresh air because it has like actual blocking functions

where you can be like, I don't want to hear a fuck from this person and I don't want them to see me. You can do that on Blue Sky. And also I think the one part that Was nice is there's like two different feeds There's like one where they're suggesting stuff and one that's like following and you can have that display however you want But like the chronological order of the tweets makes that feel like the old-school Twitter when like some shit

Yeah, I don't know what else to say. He doesn't know. I'm not over her. I'm not over her. Yeah, you just said your ex's girlfriend. You said your ex's name. Yeah, damn full. Damn, I thought I was brand new. Why are you bringing her up? What the fuck? You're down bad, fool. What the fuck?

You're down bad, fool. You just bring her up right in front of me. You don't even notice it. You didn't even hear it. That's fucking crazy. I didn't mean to. I didn't mean it too. I didn't mean it. I can't believe it is over. No, no, you're my hyena, don't worry, man.

I didn't mean to say that. But yeah, I guess there's the other, all of that just does feel like a little bit more familiar. The lack of late racial slurs feels just a little bit better. So anyway, follow us all. We're all going to blue, are you on blue sky, Marcella? I am on blue sky. There you go. So I've been on it since We're all going to blue. Are you on blue sky Marcella? I am on blue sky.

I just, so I've been on it since what? Summer of last year. I wasn't, I was not active on it. And then now I get back in there. Cause threads it's like, I'm finally feeling like thread sucks. People do not have a sense of humor. People are, I got accused of stealing someone's quote unquote threads. And I'm like, miss, what year is this?

Was this Twitter where like no one knows how humor works? I don't know, I need to get out of here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm like, and then when I went back to Blue Sky, I was like, oh shit, all the comedians are on here. This is where they were. Yeah, and people are chilling. Seems like a lot of people have been waiting for us.

Yeah, shout out Zyke Gang, I've seen y'all on there. Make sure you follow everybody, I love talking to you. Yeah, Zyke Gang, I've seen y'all on there. Make sure you follow everybody. Love talking to you. Yeah, Zyke Gang, follow me. God damn it, you guys are fucking. You guys actually have a sense of humor. A few people that don't. There's someone who really,

there's a couple people that really hate me and Chris Crofton. And I just wanna say on behalf of me and Chris, we don't care. We care though, we care. So just keep talking. You know, we're with you. Tell us what you want. Tell us what you want.

What are you on Blue Sky, Marcella? I think it's just my name, right? Maybe it's Marcella Comedy. I don't know. You got there early enough. There you go. I think I did. Maybe it might be my name,

but I'm pretty sure it's Marcella Comedy. The fact that it's the number one app in the app store is- Yeah, Marcella Comedy dot- Wild. Blue Sky. Biscuit. Bisc Marcella comedy.wild blue sky. B-Sky. The sky. The sky.

So an individual threads is called a threads. Is it like, it's a thread. It's a thread. Okay. But then what's a thread of threads, threads. So blue sky is like an, an individual blue sky is a ski. Maybe it could just be like a cloud. You're in the sky.

Oh my God. That's fucking trippy. Oh my God. That's crazy. I really gotta say I miss SoCal Latinos just talking because like here in Chicago, the Latinos don't really have that little flavor of, bitch, obviously from this specific,

yeah, they don't have that fun. SoCal Latinos are so fucking so distinct. Yeah, yeah. It's a whole cadence. It they don't have that fun. Socal latinas are so fucking, so distinct. Yeah, yeah, it's a whole cadence, you know. It really is, it's fun. It's a rhythm, it's a melody. That's sad. Selena Gomez and Melissa Villasenor, they fucking nailed it on that sketch,

to be honest, you know. All right, let's take a quick break. No, what if we don't? What if I said we're not taking a break? Jack, why don't you do your impression of a socalatina? You racist you know Getting in trouble guy blue bracelet Guy is a new blue bracelet boy come on

I love you.

I love you. Soldier boy, tell him. All right, Thanksgiving. What Jack, now what are we gonna talk about Jack? Boring shit. We're gonna go boring. And then we're gonna go boring on this one. Dunk on me, I think is the plan. You're gonna spice it up.

And then he's gonna beg for forgiveness. I'm so sorry. And then he's gonna beg for forgiveness. I'm so sorry. And then I'm gonna make little sounds like, because I actually like it. Okay. Okay. Maybe I will leave. Yeah, she's like, what the fuck y'all?

Don't listen to this podcast anymore. I think I just got muted. All right. Jesse Waters, we talked about how he got disinvited from Thanksgiving. Fuckin' loser. Yeah. From his mom.

His mom is a character on the show, even. People know his mom. She's like, Jesse. She's like his live mom. Yeah. Don't be weird. Do you think she really disinvited him or he's just saying that?

Probably just saying that? Probably just saying it. I don't know. It also, I mean it feels like the kind of thing that he would say to make himself feel more like he's in the same fight as all his viewers. You know what I mean? I feel like she'd be like, don't make me disinvite you. Oh, you would disinvite me? And then he'd use that as a way. Right, it's like, my mom disinvited me. I can't disinvite you, baby, I love you. Exactly, I would never do that.

I just said that to get you to, you know. Be a little bit less mean to Kamala Harris. Yeah, maybe that's what it was. She was like, you need to stop saying that stuff or I'm not gonna invite you to things. That's my theory because there's no fucking way. Yeah, we should look closely, because if we would check the social media posts,

because if he's with the family, then it was all capped in America. He could also play the log game and just pretend like he didn't go. Yeah, yeah, right. He's like, Mom, don't post me here. Don't post me here at Thanksgiving. Don't say your precious little baby. Someone named Rick Taylor, a Democratic Senate candidate from back in the day, posted that he canceled Thanksgiving plans with his aunt, claiming my home is not open to traitors. And then there's a Yale psychiatrist who suggested that

women in the LGBTQ plus community have the right to bail on holiday plans with people who just voted to strip away their fundamental human rights. Just them though. Yeah, just them. Yeah, no one else. Everyone else is forced to go. I mean, I also feel like, is this a good reminder that everyone has free will? Right. It's really wild. I do need a psychiatrist to sign off on all my plans, unfortunately.

Like, it's really silly that people need to be told that they don't have to spend time. People who watch MSNBC? Yeah, that they need to be told that they don't need to spend time with their family. Like, any year, by the way. I remember one year, I don't know, I time. People who watch MSNBC. Yeah, they need to be told that they don't need to spend time with their family. Any year, by the way. I remember one year, I don't know, I must have been 25 or 26, me and my dad

were fucking at each other's throats. And I was like, I'm not coming to Thanksgiving like if you're gonna act like this because there's no way. And I did this whole protest and then my mom was like, no, you have to be here. It was so dramatic. It was fucking the most soap opera, telenovela shit.

And then I ended up going so I was like I still want to eat my mom's food You know that turkey that fucking bobble is undefeated So yeah, I mean I if a if the people in your family can't cook just don't go Yeah, yeah Take away your rights. You can just not go because that bitch, you know how many people have told me once they've tasted my turkey

that their mother's turkey was never that good? I'm stunned to find this out. Salvadorian turkey is unmatched and people tell me this shit and I'm like, how the fuck do you keep going back to Thanksgiving if you want to make a turkey? It's just fucking hella juicy. I know, are you brining it?

Or like what's the- We do brine it, but there's a specific salsa that we use. That salsa that you're talking about. So imagine a 10 times better version of that salsa. It's like watery, but it's so flavorful, what we do with it. And like, I have had people from multiple backgrounds. Black, white, Latino. And it's cooked in that?

No, I'm intrigued already. I'll send you a picture. I'll send you a picture. But it is, it's like slow cooked in this, I'm intrigued already. I'll send you a picture. I'll send you a picture. But it is, it's like slow cooked in this. You go and you baste it, but you have to try it. It's really not true about either of our moms. Their turkeys are good, but please keep telling us how to make this amazing turkey that you speak of.

I know for my mom, cannot cook it. She's from Japan, they don't even use fucking ovens. Now, the real Thanksgiving cooking was done by my black family. And that's, you know, that's smoke turkeys every year. And that shit was good. But that's what was crazy was finding out some of my black homies being like, oh yeah, no, my, my mom does not know how to make a turkey. And I'm like, what?

That's crazy. But it's one of those things, you know, like you got to really dry bird. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. That's why you have to Brian it or smoke it or whatever. Anyway, all that to say, so what are the white people doing that are getting disinvited from Thanksgiving?

They're. Taking away people's rights. Angry. Yeah. Yeah, they're about, they're gearing up. They're stretching out, they're stretching each other out, getting ready. They're clapping the baby powder hands in the air, getting ready to take away people's rights. They're also just outraged.

I'm talking about how this is fucking un-American. A Newsmax air to segment raging about people scrapping Thanksgiving plans with mega family members, calling it pathetic and crazy. Wow. One panelist argued that the Democrats are supposed to be the party where everyone is welcome. Are you fucking for, oh, this is the goal, oh, that's right, the tolerant left.

That doesn't mean tolerating your bigotry, you fucking losers. It means being open-minded to helping people. So this is the beginning of that segment. Yeah. Another one comes to a realization on the air in this segment. So the election might be over, There's another one kind of comes to a realization on the air in this segment. All right. So the election might be over. It is over, but political polarization is not Donald Trump's win over Kamala Harris is leading some liberals who are still upset to cut off ties with family and

friends who voted for Trump ahead of the holiday season, former democratic candidate for Senate from Ohio. Okay. So that was the intro here. Let's open it up to the panel of disgusting people to talk about how they will eat dry turkey. All right. Happy holidays. Joining me now host of the

Michelle Tafoya podcast Michelle Tafoya and the co founder of 76 research.com and host of the Trish Regan show Trish Regan. Welcome to both of you. All right, Michelle, I'm going to start with you. All right, Michelle. I'm gonna start with you that sounds like absolute Pathetic conversation. These are friends and family part of what makes this country great is having difference of opinion But here you are getting out there basically saying that whomever voted for Trump must be bad. It's crazy Crazy is a good word and I have lived through some of this in my own family. I'm hesitant to say that but it's true. The Yale psychologist

psychiatrist that appeared on MSNBC with Joy Reid, I looked at her website. She describes herself as doctor, activist, researcher, and anti-racism educator. So there's a lot to her personality. there's a lot to her personality. There's a lot to her background. She's not just a counselor. I think- Okay, I can't even handle this shit. There's a lot to her personality.

This person's head is in the game and we don't like that. You know what I mean? How could you be anti-racist? That just feels so weird. I just love when people are like, look, I think we should still have a nice dinner after I told you that there should be no exceptions for abortions even including rape and like imagine having that conversation and be like oh Here's a turkey I made for you the thing that people say cuz I have I have friends who I've spoken to who are like

Kind of like it haven't fucking friction with like in laws and shit. And like when they point out specific things, I always say like, but that's not what that's not the reason I voted because also, because then they do a lot of them are doing this. A lot of people are both on the left and the right are doing this magical thinking of like, Trump doesn't mean a lot of this stuff, right? He doesn't mean that's not what he just says this stuff It's like he they are for real going to be deported

I mean, they're going to be hitting us with this stuff on behalf of the or like the places are going to be doing and carrying Out all this atrocious shit. It's like no lady I know you're not physically gonna drag someone across the border But for the next four years, more than four years, we're gonna see some really atrocious shit on the news and we're hearing like, I don't wanna enjoy my meal with you, bitch. Like I will feel sort of bad about that

when I'm changing the channel. I will feel sort of bad. And that's what's crazy is I think too, watching so many left or Democratic people say that they're like, oh, for the first time, I'm gonna cut ties. I'm like, for the first time! God damn!

Y'all are late! I've been fucking getting into it with my dad since I was seven years old, like, hey, you ain't gonna be my daddy if you keep talking about women like this, you know? Like, I've been crazy, so like, when I get it, like, okay, sometimes you wait until you're fucking angst teenage years or whatever But like guys if you are in deep into your 30s and you have never like had these I had a homegirl

Maybe I've talked about this before She's a comedian. She's great But she's a little stupid because she would never when she was in it when we were in Twitter She would never find out the political beliefs of the men she was dating. And I was like, oh, you should probably know that, especially if you're considering accepting a proposal from this man. She's like, but why?

And I'm like, because if he's conservative and you marry him, I guarantee you won't have a career in comedy. Just like, no, he's not like that. And I was like, girl, find out what his beliefs are. And then sure enough, sure enough, staunch Republican shit freaked her out. She had no idea that he had these really crazy views. And I was like, how are you not having

these conversations with people? You know, like, a lot of people are having trouble connecting those dots, like what that means, because a lot of times, so many American families defuse the situation, like, let's not talk about politics. Let's not talk about politics. Let's not talk about it. It starts with the turkey, by the way. It starts with not let's not talk about politics. Let's not talk about politics. Let's not talk about it. Right. It starts with the turkey, by the way. Yeah. It starts with not, let's not talk about the turkey tasting like shit. Yeah, yeah, let's not talk about that. Furthermore.

Yeah, your father's right. But it's true though. Let's not talk about politics. Let's just talk about this turkey. This turkey is dry. This turkey, so you made bad choices about this turkey too, bitch. Because meanwhile, while you're not talking about like, you know, the fucking over-policing and anti- black racism, this shit is metastasizing around you. And you get to this point now where everybody is gonna feel it. And I think that's just kind of like weird to watch. Like, like now that like normal like sort of cis

het white people's rights and livelihoods are in the cross hairs. Now we got problems to solve. This is from my very much my perspective as a black Asian person, person of color in this country. Or some people know him as a Blasian. A Blasian, Black and easy. Many people in this, like, especially black people have known since the dawn of this place

that this country is an exercise in cruelty. And you can tell how black people vote. They said, it can get worse. It can, it really can. And trust me, you can tell how black people vote. They said it can get worse It can't it really can and I'm and trust me you don't even want to see that not even that this is great, but it can get fucking a lot worse and Like there was this I don't know there there we had these moments to actually reckon with issues again Like with over policing and anti-black racism and all we got was performative allyship So so many liberals just felt like while it was an objectively bad thing like racism, it didn't really need any urgency

because their lives as they see it are separate from black people or trans people. There was no urgency about tackling problems around like black maternal mortality rates. So now we're at a point where every pregnant person could be at risk. So again, this habit of turning a blind eye to other American suffering or thinking that it's not that that's I'm, I'm separate from that.

That is how we got here because it's not enough for people to get that. Like people have to understand, like you have to stand up for everyone's rights, like you do your own or else they begin crumbling and you get here. And now guess what? Now everybody's going to have to do the work. And I hope, I hope they're ready. They were so on board with caring about the suffering of those groups that the second they lost this election, they were like, our problem was caring too much

about the, you know, the trans thing is really the reason we lost this election where Kamala Harris got a lower portion of the youth vote than any Democratic presidential candidate in recent memory. It's because you were too woke and not because of ignoring young people's complaints about the genocide in Gaza. It was that. Am I following this woke is broke logic? If I am following you right. So abandoning vulnerable groups will help signal to other marginalized people that this is the party that will help you and protect you. Am I getting that right? Yep.

Yes, that's exactly correct. Oh, finally. For sure, for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure. Anyway, welcome to the whole Rogan experience. I feel like you male viewers listening to Simone. They're like, she'll do it.
