It's the season of giving, and this year, my podcast, The Happiness Lab, is partnering with Give Directly, a nonprofit that provides people in extreme poverty with the cash they need as part of the PODS Fight Poverty campaign. Our goal this year is to run.

raise $1 million, which will bring over 700 families out of extreme poverty. Your donation will put cash directly in the hands of these families in need, and they'll get to decide how to use it, whether that's school transportation, purchasing livestock, or starting a business. Plus, if you're a first-time donor, your gift will be matched by giving multiplier, which means more money for those in need. Visit givdirectly.org slash happiness lab to learn more and to donate. That's give directly.org slash happiness lab. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this special year-end episode of their daily zeitgeist.

I was going to do an ad lib there. I was trying to think of what was a year-end thing, but I didn't know how to do all-d-ling, or all-acquaint-and-s be-for-gack. Do you know the words? No one knows the words. How do you know the words? That's the only part anyone knows. I don't even know that part.

I don't think that's right. It's something, something acquaintance. Well, you impressed the shit out of me. What is that all the what, but reaper guy? For all acquaintance be forgot. Let's see. Is that the lyrics, should old acquaintance be forgot? Should all acquaintance.

Shit all. I don't know shit all about this song. And never brought to. What is an old thing zine? I know we must have talked about this. This song's trash. Do do. What is it even about this?

It's a Scottish song. Uh, yeah, it's often heard at funerals and graduations. See, it probably had more meaning before America just started screaming at drunk. It makes a lot more sense at funerals. Oh, this song poses a rhetorical question. Is it right for old times to be forgotten? The answer is generally interpreted as a call to remember longstanding friendships. All right.

So I don't know what an old langt is. A bittersweet way to say goodbye to the year and hello to the new year. For all the war crimes we forgot. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, we're against those now. We're against those now. Well, who did them? Don't worry about it. What party are they in?

The context matters. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is a podcast where you take a deep dive into American shared consciousness. And for the end of the year, we like to take a deep dive into the year that was. And ask the question for, should all old acquaintance be forgot when those acquaintance are news stories that tortured our soul? my name is Jack O'Brien and I'm thrilled to be joined

as always by my co-host, Mr. Miles Ray! Yes, yes. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. I am still in a bathrobe. I considered recording this laying down to give people the energy

as if we will be experienced. You can't, I can't hear that. You can hear when I'm laying down. You can tell. No, I can hear when when Jack is reading a really brutal story. He starts clutching his face. You can hear my hand on my face.

Change. Just like, oh, God. Oh, fuck, damn it. God. What happened now? You can definitely hear that you be laying down. Yeah, it's this. Okay, lay down challenge.

We'll see if you hear me next time. The C on the side of my face. We're joined by the man behind the Zoom chat from parts unknown. He's been called the silent majority. What a weird nickname to give yourself. Yeah. It's Brian the editor. Brian.

I called him the silent. I was having an off day that day. You don't have to call me. I won't quit. I won't quit. Don't quit. Just don't quit. Making threats.

Can't stop. Won't stop. All right. So this is where we are counting down the top 15 stories of the year, 15 through 11. A bunch of fucking bangers, dude. Yeah, dude. We got the guerrilla versus man. Guerrillas versus man.

Yep. That was 11. We got my name is Chad. That was, you're going all out of order. That was 13. We got the sandwich assassin. That was 14. We got the boo-boo.

15 and 12 the widow Kirk did we do that do it in that order anyways no no yeah so this is this is where we count down the top stories of the year how are we ranking them are they the best stories our favorite yeah sure ranking them by annoyance we rank them in a similar methodology to how FIFA gives out the peace award in that you won't really know and it's kind of up to us and how we're feeling it's like you know time man of the year where people are like, do they like Hitler? He's like, I don't know, he's just the man of the year. Hey, a lot of people are talking about this Hitler, huh? Yeah, a lot of people gotta say, number one

number one with a bullet. No, these are just the stories that gave us the most joy or pain. One of the two. Not so, not we tried to, we did say like in the last episode, we tried to in pain, sunshine and rain, sing it too much.

I think we wanted to avoid. The real So much stuff The real heavy shit. Yeah, yeah. All right. I said so much sundowning. Oh, yeah.

Give it up. Sun down. Go ahead and pain. Trump's sun down and rain. Okay. All right. And we might get to that in this in this countdown. I think so.

This very episode. It's entirely possible. Although I think Brian was talking about me. When he talked about sundowning. No, this is just the sundown episode. The sundown. that is this does always feel like the part the time of the year because we're doing three a days at this point no longer the two which we said two two few recordings we're adding a third recording every day and you may notice that at this time a year words start getting left out words start getting added in we are at our limit huh yeah we're a little bit more incoherent so if you ever wanted to know what it was like to hear us record drunk this is like you know unless it's like recalling all all of this shit that

happened over the we're constantly asking old stories that happened this year yeah did that out of this year because so much goofy shit happens in a year and i'm gonna say we've been going back through these i've been like okay and this one i think happened in back in february and then you go back and it's like september yeah yeah yeah there might be a bunch of stories we're leaving out from the beginning uh of the year. But guess what? That's what time does. Time's the best editor. It cuts out all the riff-raff. So we got a couple bangers, bangars from the early part of the year. I think our number one is from the early part of the year. Yeah. But yeah, a lot of more recent ones. We're going to start off with an honorable Menchie. Didn't make the top 15. Yeah. Just just the. Keep trying. Keep trying,

the team, the selection committee was like, God, we'd love, we'd love to include them. We'd love to include Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey in our top 15. Yeah. Super producer Victor is demanding a recount. Okay. Well, he just broke a window. What the fuck? Victor settled. Yeah, that's your own house, dude.

You gotta pay for that. This was a big news when Taylor Swift announced her engagement to human oak tree, Travis Kelsey, and people were, you know, mad and happy for the various reasons that people

get mad and happy about every Taylor Swift piece of news. My main thing with this one was the way that the right responded to this immediately being like oh, he's going to put a baby in her. Yeah. What the fuck? Yeah, that was the vibe.

Ben Shapiro in his everlasting quest to like have mainstream cultural relevancy. Couldn't get that FYC, couldn't get that four year consideration campaign to give him a nomination for the Golden Globes despite wearing very cool sunglasses. at the end of the year.

A suede jacket, yeah. He said, this is ironically an excellent thing. Oh, God. I hope many other single people follow their example. And then Charlie Kirk back to date this one a little bit. Okay. Founder of Turning Point USA said he hopes Swift and Kelsey have lots of kids and end up very happy. Hope you end up very happy.

Who says, I hope you end up happy? Taylor Swift might go from a cat lady to a J.D. Vant supporter and we should celebrate that we should have more children than she has houses or she should have more children than she has houses okay he implored her to reject feminism adding submit to your husband taylor you are not in charge oh boy and yet look at them no nowhere nowhere near pregnant greggnant yeah what's wrong you are keeping close tabs on that i am i do miles they haven't been married yet they're not together as man and wife away. You're not really trying.

Then you're not really about that shit then, dude. Right. You should be having a baby out of wedlock, dude. I don't know what. I'm entirely correct. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. You should just be singing songs. I would actually not be surprised if they haven't had sex because that album that she

released where she has like songs about how good his penises. Yeah, how that would work. How just like heroic and wonderful his penises. Like, that's so horny. It's almost like, I don't know. I think this is the benefit of a long, a long distance relationship maybe is that she's just like, God damn it.

Are, are, do people blame her for the chiefs not doing well this season? Like, has that boomerang come on? They did well last season, like better than they had any right doing last season. Oh,

so I feel like people probably can't quite blame them. I think, did they win a championship with her in the picture? I forget, like when they got together. either. I don't even know. I wish I...

Anyways, they are having a tough... They're having a tough go of it. We all feel very sorry for them. I didn't see it. But, yeah, I just... It's wild that the right is so hungry for a, like, media win and media relevancy

that they're trying to draft Taylor Swift's unborn children onto their team. They've got to. Yeah. Yeah, it does us feel very racial draft. Like, as if there aren't any other rich white children running around.

Yeah, they're not fucking cool. The other one would be like if Sydney Sweeney hooked up with Chuck Liddell or something. They've got Apple. Apple Martin. Apple Martin's not. No, dude.

She's like all RD and shit. Yeah. She's probably Antifa. Yeah, you're right. What was your dream, your wish casting for the right? It was Sydney Sweeney and like Chuck Lidale or some UFC fighter. They'd be like, yes, exactly.

She's just pregnant with. with a black eye all the time the babies comes out with a black eye everyone I don't know what's going on yeah I feel like that's what they want genetic yeah all right on to the actual number 10

on our list and we're cracking the top 10 hold on to your butts folks because it is Pete Hague Seth in a few short months maybe even one month went from calling all the generals together for what a lot of people were worried was going to be like

we're starting world war three boys we're taking it back it's retro it's cool we're gonna do it and instead he just like gave a long rambling speech actually it was like it wasn't rambling I shouldn't say that it was a long very practiced speech

including pauses for laughter and claps and for like uproarious applause that just were filled with room tone and silence just like the buzzing of the A.V. equipment. Yeah, all the crickets

even died. Yeah, the crickets all killed themselves in the first five minutes of his speech. And I don't know why I guess like when you're kind of drunk and flying off of whatever he's on you're not doing a lot of like

what would the audience think? You know? It's pure impulse. And so he's up there giving a speech about how his audience are all fat bucks, like fat sobs. And then he's expecting them to be like yeah he's definitely like he was middling even when he was enlisted you know what i mean and now i think all those people like this guy sucks and now he's dictating

to us what the policies are of the department of war he definitely like yeah it was always like there's not going to be women because they're weak bro you know what i mean like they got to get out of here too it's just going to be bro versus bro you know what i mean and we can use slurs we can fucking assault people like violently you know what i mean because that's how we're a heart in the soldiers. Yeah, it was a very fucking, I think what started off is terrifying because you're like, oh my God, why is

every, like, you know, a higher up officer in the military being summoned to one place? Is this a purge or an announcement of some like crazy military campaign? And like, oh, it's worse because it's this moron who's doing a rah-rah speech that went absolutely

nowhere. Yeah. But also not quite as bad because it does seem like everybody fucking hates him and that the Pentagon is like not you know not on board depends on what day he did help with morale though

when he proceeded soon after that to kill a boat full of people not the first time that that happened no at the bottom people like close to 100 people have been killed so far with all these quote unquote narco terrorist boat strikes

yeah uh they they followed a boat and we're like those look like drug people I know a drug person when I see it And from his speech to the Paniccan You could tell that he's always right About these sorts of things And then they shot the boat with a missile

Exploded it from front to bad The whole thing was a ball of flame And then there were two people clinging To debris And then he ordered That they go back and kill those people Which pretty clear cut war crime And no that's not what I said

I said kill them all and don't leave anyone like he decided to go back I just said kill him all kill them all and I back the admiral yeah yeah and then he he proceeded to consolidate his grasp on all these generals by throwing an admiral who was

taking orders from him completely under the bus as Miles reference not a good look what's so disorienting about the boat strike story is just the inconsistent application of the definition of war crime in a We care about that now.

Yeah, just like, it is so fucking convenient that it's like, well, Hags, I don't like Hegseth. So that's, that's a, any other war crimes that were committed under our watch, it depends on if I like the guy or if I can use it like rhetorically. Otherwise, you know, famously. The flexible use of the term narco-terrorism, because to me, the biggest narco-terrorists are the United States government. Sure, right.

They've waged so much terrorism on their own people and never admitted that it was a thing. So that's nice. That's in progress. I mean, we released some files that kind of implied that, but I'm not going to admit it. Yeah. Loud is kind of the gist there.

But yeah, that's what's always really fucking, like every time I hear that it's, it's really disorienting. And that's a war crime. And that should not happen. And you're like, please review all of the policies of the United States

if we're being serious here. Yeah. But definitely shouldn't. And you get great. Welcome to the team, brother. Glad, glad you're noticing this. for the first time.

Should apply across the board. But hey, it is a bit like people being like, I don't like Donald Trump because he doesn't even try to get away with it. He just does the thing and doesn't, he's not even a good liar. Yeah, we used to have to try. That's the main thing. That's my main issue is the decorum.

Oh, it's not the disappearing of people. The what? I don't know. I don't know those people. I don't know anybody. You know somebody? Yeah. They're bad guys, my else.

No, the, the narco-terrorism designation does feel very like those dystopian sci-fi things where like you see like the propaganda news broadcast and like and they were part of the terrorist organization. Oh, of course, of course. Yeah. Had to die. And in and we looked back and I know it seemed like an innocent wedding party, but we actually went back into their files.

Uh-huh. There was a lot of shit hidden in there. A lot of weird stuff they were Googling. That's right. So anyway. We entered the year in a bit of a, not we, but America entered the year with a bit of tech optimism, you know? I think the majority of people were like,

Elon Musk won the election for Donald Trump. What can't these guys do? And I feel like we're in a different place. And it's thanks to some amazing seizing of the moment from various tech companies. There's obviously the AI that keeps telling people to kill themselves or that they're like the secret savior of mankind when they're like, I think I invented a new math. They're like, you know what? I think you did, sir.

Yeah. There was the Tesla bot Kung Fu display where it just looks. It looked like a video you would see of like heartwarming, 95-year-old gets his black belt. And it's like, you know, it's not going to actually look cool. Like, the person looks like they're unsteady on their feet. And that's what the Tesla one looks like. And it was also doing practice punches and kicks and stuff

that was like completely in line with the person. that they were practicing against almost like it was a fucking programmed it was nonsense and the movements were truly like oh your uncle got a group on for fucking taekwondo classes and now at the fucking Christmas dinner

he's gonna show you a fucking demo that's very like I guess technically that looks like martial arts but can we go now because it's like this thing's gonna kick my ass everything that Elon Musk put out this year was like very like there there were also his appearances on Rogan

where he's like, listen to it, say, call your mom a bitch whore. And just like dying laughing while Joe Rogan can't even like muster. He tried, a fake laugh.

He did his best. He tried. He kept trying to take it back to like, damn, like if you think about it, though, like that's actually crazy that it's even saying that right now.

Like, this thing's just getting better and funnier and better and better. Yeah. The self-driving cars running red, lights and, like, freaking out like a student driver. Do you remember that one?

Were you out there. No, there's one. It was like trying to take a left turn. We all started getting like real shaky as it came to a red light. And then it just like went around traffic and through a busy intersection. Yeah. But my favorite at number nine has to be Mark Zuckerberg's much anticipated demo of meta's new AI glasses.

So sick. Dude, super. Remember, he was calling this shit super intelligence. Yeah. He's like, this is next. So this is super intelligence. What are you going to call it? It's fucking super intelligence.

You're basically Superman. 800 for a fucking pair. Oh, what can it do, asshole? Check this shit out. Yeah. Make you look like a fucking loser with $800 glasses on. I know, I know what the listeners are saying. Guys, this wasn't this year.

Like now everybody around me has these AI glasses on. They're everywhere. It seems like they've always been here. It really was very, recent. It was just September when Mark Zuckerberg dropped these on the world and everybody around you started wearing them, oh wait, I haven't

seen a single fucking pair. I've seen one pair in the wild. You have? I only see them in like weird TikToks where dudes are trying to pick up on women or something. Yeah, exactly. People were doing weird. Like on social media, it's always dudes doing really. It's like food reviewers and pickup artists.

Food reviewers or perverts. Who do you think I hang out with guys? That's my crew. That's my True. A little bit of Colmane. Dangerous night's crew. Yeah. It's actually mostly food review. Real straight-laced bunch. But yeah, here he is doing the demo where, again, he was like, dude, this thing can just look at food and give you a recipe, like, when it works. Hey, Meta, start live AI. Yeah, so he throws to his homie. Starting live AI. Okay, there's a little delay, but we're back on track. You have here with soy sauce and other ingredients. Looking at his ingredients. How can I help?

Hey, can you help me make a Korean-inspired steak sauce for my steak sandwich here? You can make a Korean-inspired steak sauce using soy sauce, sesame oil. What do I do first? Damn, let her finish. Oh, see, this is what you get for interruption? That was not a, the window, the video did not freeze. So now grade a pair to add to the sauce. Oh, look, he's just going on with the recipe.

Uh-oh. Yeah, sorry, it skipped three steps. you're literally laughing it so now grate the pair and gently combine it with the base sauce all right I think the Wi-Fi might be messed up sorry back to you Mark it's all good

it's all good it's all good it's all good I don't care I don't care I don't care I actually think this is hilarious the whole thing is that you spend years making technology and then the Wi-Fi at the day kind of oh it's the why you fucking coward also it's not the fucking Wi-Fi at the most

I said this at the time. Steve Jobs already tried that excuse 20 years ago at an iPhone keynote. It didn't work then. Also, it clearly was not an issue with the Wi-Fi. It wasn't like freezing up. It was skipping steps the way that everyone who has used AI knows that like trying to. Jack, all you do is you take the ingredients in the proper quantities and then you cook them. And that those are the instructions.

I see that you've already combined the ingredients, Brian. yeah what do you do first it's the it's the wife i said the guitar is out of tune red slacks is a hit no it's a fucking l but it's a massive l brother there were so many also good ones the one that i wasn't there for that i wish i was there for was the fucking the russian so um yes a i bought yeah let's put this in let's put this in international context because right right china on the other hand is not solely ruled by Hologar. They've got like a strong central government that is, you know, taking some of the money that people make and then putting it back into technology

to like try and make themselves competitive or whatever, probably doing all sort of people shit. Or whatever. I don't know. Yeah, we wouldn't know in this country. Competitive. Yeah. But, you know, they, they dropped an AI that was like open source and cost way less money and was better than the ones in the U.S.

And they also gave us the first robot that people were like, wait, okay, this, like, we've been expecting a robot for a long time where we were like, damn, that's actually pretty impressive. And we've gotten like those like robot dog, Boston dynamic things that people say are like pre-programmed, but we're like you're seeing the one out of 100 where it was like sick and like doing good work. And when they tried to send it out in the wild, it got. kicked over by people in Philadelphia. As it should be. So they dropped a robot

on people that was walking very smoothly to the point that people were like unzipped the back of that thing. There's a person in that. Walking very smoothly. Walking very sexually. Yeah. I know. It's sultry. It's different. It's like... You made it real sexy like you assay. Boss.

It also... It had hip sway. It got, it's, and it's got hips. It's got... This robot's got at all. It has more ass than it has any right to have. They were just like, yeah, give it. Let's make it thick. I mean, this is what happens when a bunch of men build the perfect specimen. Right.

And it will have this waist to hip ratio and walk like this. But, yeah, I mean, that, call that motherfucker Christopher, because it was walking. Okay? It was smooth. And to the point where they're like, and call that motherfucker Christopher, because it could be my guest anytime. I feel like they got a, they like did mocap on like a dancer to get that walk. They're just very specific.

Like an actor. Yeah, yeah. There's a lot of, I mean, it has a, it has like the walk of like a main character. I think it was rather than being like, we've achieved bipedal motion. And it's walking like an 80 year old man. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it always walks like a very old person who's on. Yeah, it always looks like an old person who's walking on ice.

Like the bipedal robots like from the start. Like, yeah, they got that dog. But then like you see the bipedal ones and they're always like, yeah. This one literally looked like it was about to do wushu or something crazy. Yeah. It's walking also like a T-1000, too. Like, it's walking you down with like a menacing style too.

I'm like, uh, this is, yeah, anyway. So that was wild. Like real casual, real sexy, just like you asked boss. And then so that's like a view of like what technology is going to look like in the future. But if we want to know what technology is going to look like in our future, because America, is not on its way to becoming the next China, it's on the way to becoming the next Russia. I mean, as we align our foreign policies.

Yeah, yeah, completely. And we got to see what Russia's answer to all that ass was. Yeah. And this thing was a triumph. Man, those sanctions are hitting. The sanctions are hitting over there, bro. I don't know what is going on,

but this, I wish I was there. I remember I put this in the, dock that day, but I was out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is actually our first time getting to hear your thoughts on this. Here it comes. It's playing the Rocky theme. It's playing the Rocky theme. And it's hot

stepping. It's doing the walk you're talking about. Yes. It's the old person on ice. Your grandpa got a bunch of water in his boots. It's like that thing where it's like, you know, when an old person is falling for like 60 seconds before they hit the ground, it looks like that.

This is the part, too, because you can kind of tell it strokes out. Like, if you watch the left foot, they try to make it wave. And it waves, and then it doesn't know what to do with the rest of the spot. The heels not on the ground. Oh, here it go. They're reaching up. It's got people with them. There it goes.

The torso blew off. So it falls over forward. They're already, like, grabbing it. It looked so drunk. Nothing has ever looked. A drunk person has never looked at this drunk. It hits the ground and the entire fucking. chest piece blows off and scatters it's like it's like when when your AirPods fall out

and like just shoot like why'd they spring load those in there like the funny part to me is it's exactly like an old person like they're gonna fall in about 30 seconds yeah you just know it's coming and it and they know too the handlers are like watch him watch him watch i don't know why they didn't jump in sooner because it was so clear it was going to fall over oh yeah and like just this freeze frame it looks like he said some wild racist shit at a bar and then fell over like because he's so drunk and embarrass himself and then the friend's like come on Rich come on man

we gotta get out of here then they came out with a satin sheet moment is you think you've seen the best part of it and then they pull a black curtain across the stage and it's tied up and so it's just it's not covering shit this frame too

it's like he's got It's a murder scene. They're trying to do nothing to see here. It's like, yeah, like as if like when there's like a grisly

car accident and like a body's been ejected, they're like, you cover that up, man. But they just, did they have that tart ready there just in case it failed?

Even the, their failure protocol was so poorly reversed. Yeah, because the failure protocol did not work very well. No, that sheet was twisted up. Look at this. And it's late.

It seems more imprubed. They already scooted the fucker off. And nothing to see here, actually. That actually didn't happen. What you just saw is it was not, was not as a robot anyways.

That's like the most the Trumpiest shit dude also too just the rocky theme and this little fucking shit bot comes out and like the two people

who are so powerful who are like yes right yes and everyone else like this is such a fucking L why would you even

like there are toys that operate better than this yeah all right let's take a quick break we're gonna come back we crack the top nine but would you believe it

We have a top eight, a seven, hell, even a six coming up in just a bit. We'll be right back. I'm Stefan Curry, and this is Gentleman's Cut.

But what if the person you're supposed to go to for help? is the one you're the most afraid of. This dude is the devil. He's a snake. He'll hurt you. I got you. I got you. I'm Nikki Richardson,

and this is The Girlfriends, Untouchable. Detective Roger Golubski spent decades intimidating and sexually abusing black women across Kansas City, using his police badge to scare them into silence. This is the story of a detective who seemed above the law

until we came together to take him down. I told Roger Galooski, I said, you're going to see my face till the day that you die. Listen to the girlfriends, untouchable, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

Dad had the strong belief that the devil was attacking us. Two brothers, one devout household, two radically different paths. Gabe Ortiz became one of of the highest ranking law enforcement officers in Texas. 32 years, total law enforcement experience. But his brother Larry, he stayed behind and built an entirely different legacy.

He was the head of this gang, and nobody was going to tell him what to do. He going to push that line for the calls. Took us under his wing and showed us the game, as they call it.

And we're back. And speaking of ones that we were out for, I was out for this next one. I just came back.

Oh, that's right. Yeah, it was Pahlavi. Yeah. I came back and it was, this is, what happened in here? What are we talking about baby drug fires? This one has to win sound bite of the year.

Oh, easily. And I got to say, this is the only show that's on it. When you write the quote into Google, it's just T. Z sound bites over and over. There's a New York Times article that talks about his general run

where he made this claim. But nobody's got that sound, that perfect little soundbite. It's right there, baby. My infant nearly died. Uh-huh. In a drug fire. When?

After mass shootings. No. It tells you everything you need to know right there. Wait, so, Jay, are you telling me that no one else picked up on how absurd that statement was? The New York Times did a little bit of debunking, but when you

write those words into Google, it's like TDZ Instagram, TDZ Reddit. This is the number one. Dude, it's so, it was so, I mean, I guess maybe, well, obviously, I don't count on the New York Times to do much, or as if to be like,

guys, this was the most hard hitting journalism we've done, okay, is to get hung up on this stupid sound bite. But just the idea, like on its face, it was so absurd because this is, and with the background, of trying to justify a federal invasion of D.C. Right. And in justifying that, you needed propagandists like Benny Johnson out here to say shit,

like, oh my God, D.C. is so bad. You know how bad? My infant nearly died. Oh, my God. In a drug fire. In a drug fire? For mass shootings. And mass shootings.

So you have maybe you have infanticide, you have drug fires, mass shootings. mass shootings. This club has every. This city has everything. So I thank you, Mr. Trump. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Let's see. Let's just go through a couple details here

because he did, in fact, live in Washington, D.C. So no lies detected. This was in a piece on Benny Johnson, the speaker of said quote, right-wing influencer, that they were like, this guy's like a plagiarist and a known liar, and he's been like proven

to be full of shit over and over and over again. So I looked into it. In fact, according to this New York Times article, police records show nobody has been murdered since at least 2017

on the block where Mr. Johnson lived. And his home was not burned. His next door neighbor's house was burned. So doing a little bit of, I don't know, exaggeration.

Yeah. Would you say it? Yeah. That I think, or just, just fucking lying, you know. My home was,

burned to the ground. People were murdered in my front yard. Was what he said elsewhere in the thing. And the police were like that. Nobody was murdered. There was a shooting on your block. Right. People were taking to the hospital.

Maybe give him the benefit of the dance. Maybe his kid got a cough from the smoke from the fire next door. Right. Nearly died after mass shootings. No, it was the drug fire after. It wasn't the mass shootings. I'll be genuine here. here it wasn't it was absolutely so did the mass shooting trigger the drug fire is my question no it's in this

one he's basically throwing together three events that he's trying to create as like an omni crisis that he was experiencing where his baby nearly died in the mass shooting after it's not causal no it's just three that's just how fenced up dc is man and also three coincidences it's i think it's also just funny too like when you do shit like this and you just show you absolutely don't give a shit about anything around you or the area you're in you're like oh my I got to get out of this fucking place. Yeah, yeah, exactly. No connection.

Yeah. What about the people that almost actually died in a house fire? Or people are like going to, no, no, these are merely just sort of inputs that I use to generate my victimhood. That's right. I mean, Donald Trump will tell you, there's young women walking through the White House all the time. They say, thank you, Mr. President. Exactly. And I don't follow up with them.

You should see it. I know what they're saying. And they're saying, thank you for cleaning up the streets. You're like Stephen Seagal in many ways. You're saved me. I go through there and I'm walking through the White House and who's there but George Washington himself and Abraham Lincoln and they're very still. They're very stoic.

You did this one quote about how young, he runs into young women. Yeah. He runs into young women in the White House. Like, you mean the people who work for you? This is like, it's clearly a lie you've been saying since you used to say on the streets of Manhattan. Right. Yeah, yeah. And then now you've just adapted it to be like, yeah, the other.

place where people are free flowing through the just like the streets of Manhattan, the White House. But one more time, Benny. My infant nearly died. Uh-huh. In a drug fire. In a drug fire. After mass shootings.

Okay. Multiple mass shootings. Oh, God. People were murdered in my front yard, bro. Yeah, yeah. What about those people? They're not real people. We actually asked the, we asked the police and they said,

they don't matter. They don't matter. They don't matter. all at all. The annoying thing is that my driveway was stained. Right. Yeah, exactly. To buy a new, more powerful pressure washer. Do you know what smoke damage is like to remediate? That shit costs so much money. We have a seven by 10 foot Ethan Allen rug that we might have to throw out. We had to redo all of our window treatments. All of it. Oh, God. Anyways, the real victim. We had to take a moment to stop down and honor the real victim, which is Benny

Johnson. Yep, yep. And another victim, too. I guess this is our next one, too. Yeah, another victim. Number seven, J.D. Vance killed the Pope. Yes. Remember this, folks. Yes, I love that. I love, I love this one because we're just adding more to the lore of J.D. Vance, not only couch copulator in chief, but papal side. Is that the word? Papal side, yeah. Yeah, yeah. A little side. of papal side. I came up on the crime side, the papal side. Staying alive. Uh-huh.

There's no jive. Yeah. Yeah, there's a good picture. One of the last pictures we have of his eminence, Pope Francis, alive. And it is J.D.

Vance walking up to him with both arms out in front of him, like he isn't moving his arms. And the Pope looking like he knew it was coming. It looked like as if he's, like, the devil has been threatening the Pope his entire life.

And Satan, like, you will see me, Francis. And then when he saw J.D. Vance, he's like, oh, shit. It's always easy to forget that J.D. Vance is a Catholic because he has, like, such born-again Christian. He's a convert, right? Yeah, but he's like that new type of Catholic. I know. Like, he just converted, and he's way too excited about it and is.

Doesn't actually know what it is. Doesn't know what it is. Well, being Catholic, no, I don't know. what it is um but i i don't know it seems cool you get you eat way first like my favorite part is you can be the as big a piece of shit as you want and at the end if you say sorry you get to go to heaven that's right yeah that is true yeah do you think that's what it is like it's just uh of no i'm like i'm more saying in the sense that like it's really so shallow enough to be like god i'm a piece of shit i think i need to do this and then hopefully like i don't burn

yeah maybe just in case it's got to hedge my bets. Just in case, man. That guy was wager, baby. Yeah. His reaction was like anyone who saw that Tom Petty concert right before he died in LA. He was just like immediately like, yo, yo, this is kind of crazy, dude. Like, I was just, damn, dog, I was just with him.

I just met him was like his response. It was so stupid. Yeah. But yeah, if this was any other person, these guys would be freaking out about if the people, Like, they're, they're just letting off so much smoke that they're the Antichrist. Like, JD Vance, Peter Thiel. Like, if they weren't so weird and annoying about claiming everybody else was the Antichrist,

they would be like, this is. That's what's freaking me out. I'm like, well, shit, is this real? There's an antichrist. Yeah. Do I need to get right? Because if they look like it, especially with the Joe Rogan, what's more virgin than computer, AI will be.

be Jesus. I'm like, oh, you're trying to I mean, they're trying to speed run this new like techno-religiosity shit, but fine, you know, but I do not believe all the controversies you hear about robotheism. We'll just say that. Yeah. I just want to say right up front.

Up front, what is it? Just don't believe the slander. Don't believe the haters. Okay. Sounds like such a great way to introduce a concept. I'm not going to tell you my name necessarily, but I will tell you don't believe the haters are they did they like did the gpt like learn from catholicism to be like a day you never heard okay before hold on just before you ask what it is don't believe all this shit you hear okay reminds me that's still a berry line from i t crabby's like there were

rumors that there was a rumor but that was just bullshit but yeah i mean peter teale was all over the place given his antichrist lectures while also being like does humanity needs to come to an end so a better robot future could take over? I don't know. Maybe. These are just questions. 30 second pause while he just like starts sweating profusely. I know he's sweating like a demon pretending to be a human and it's like

absolutely taking to your limit. We're like, I'm losing it. I know a guy who's absolutely at his limit. His name is Peter Keel. That is a way that Satan kills in movies. I'm pretty sure in the Amityville horror there's a part where like a priest comes face to face with the evil spirit in the house and like almost dies and then in the exorcist like a priest is trying to you know go up against the evil spirit and gets like thrown

out of a window yeah yeah and like it's down a flight of stairs like to meet the pope and have the pope die immediately while you're selling yourself as like the number one catholic that's not an insignificant amount of smoke to people who like believe in catholicism like that that's kind of You mean people who are highly, highly superstitious? Yeah. To just be like, yeah, hours later, the dang Pope died. Are there any Catholics, though, that look, that are, I mean, that are mumbling about that? I don't know.

They better. I was really not open. I'm over here mumbling about it. You got to. Or else, what's the point of all these fucking ghost stories? Right. What's the fun? Like, why are we not?

Like, that is, like, Catholic Church is missing. All the ghost story and exorcism stuff is pushed by the Catholic Church. to make it. And you got one right here. Hello. You got a great one right here. Someone you don't like the new American Pope. And by the way, this might just be what it took to get an American Pope. And honestly, when you look at J.D. Vance's face, he looks like someone you would cast in one of those 70s, Exorcist movies as like an Antichrist. He has that look. Yeah. Yeah. And the deep set eyes. And yeah. It's also the eyelinery, thick eyelashes, too. Because I always say he looks like he's part of Zod's crew from Superman. A little bit. Yeah. Maybe we can keep him in a 2D triangle or something. Just like weak chinned Zod, homie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. But they all kind of got the sort of dark hair,

beautifully manicured beard, dreamy eyes. Just a sense of humor. Huge size 13. Massive. He'd be so funny if he was like actually wearing a 10 and a half, but he was always trying to fill out of 13. He's like, just clomp, clomp, clop, plopping around. Like he leaves that.

tissue paper in the toe. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He doesn't even realize that other people take it out. It keeps your toes warm. They know the tissue at the end? The what? For packing it. Yeah, for your feet to stay warm.

All right, let's take another break. We're going to come to our sixth story, which is a bit of an omni story. We'll be right back. And this is Gentleman's Cut.

Who would you call if the unthinkable happened? I just fell and started screaming. If you lost someone you loved in the most horrific way. I said through you y'all 22 times. The police, right?

But what if the person you're supposed to go to for help is the one you're the most afraid of? This dude is the devil. He's a snake. He'll hurt you. I'm Nikki Richardson, and this is The Girlfriends, Untouchable. Detective Roger Galoopsky spent decades intimidating and sexually abusing black women across Kansas City, using his police badge to scare them into silence.

This is the story of a detective who seemed above the law until we came together to take him down. I told Roger Galoopsky, I said, you're going to see my face till the day that you die. Listen to the girlfriends, Untouchable, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Dad had the strong belief that the devil was attacking us. Two brothers, one devout household, two radically different paths. Gabe Ortiz became one of the highest-ranking law enforcement officers in Texas. 32 years, total law enforcement experience.

Listen to Therapy for Black Girls on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. And, you know, all the rage with the kids is here, fucking brain rot. And I think there's a good dang reason is because the dang president's brain's rotten.

Yep. You know what I'm saying? Yep. Number six on the list. No, no, no. Number six, six. The six God himself, Donald Trump's. So many stories about his brain melting.

It could have taken up both six and seven. Oh, wow. How much this guy's dang brain is rotten? The two hemispheres of the brain when you do six, seven. There was a moment towards the end of the election where he like was really like out on his feet, like just seemed to be losing it. That I was like, oh shit. Like if Kamala wins, this would be it for Trump. Like, his brain is breaking.

She just has to come out and blow on him a little bit. Just like, all we need is that he just needs a slight push. And he's gone for good. Like, that would be the end of the mega movement because he's not going to hold up for another four years. And obviously, that was way too wishful for, like, Kamala's ability to garner votes, the mainstream Democratic Party's ability to get votes. However, what we're seeing instead is that he won and that shit is happening. His brain is rotting.

It's like cotton candy that somebody poured coke on. It's just... Fizzling out. It evaporates. Just a big brown cloud after. So I don't know. Do we just want to like talk about our favorite? Like there's a great...

There's enough to fill out a Oscar category of nominees for favorite brain rotted-ass moment of the year with our president. Every single one. It's more just like, what were the ones that weren't terrifying? Do you guys want to go individually? Like, what were your personal favorites? I'm going to give a list of nominees. Okay.

There was the... Had you do that? Probably the least terrifying. It was just him talking about his son, Barron, being a computer whiz. And the thing that he was impressed by was Barron's ability to, after Trump said, close the computer, not close the computer, or close it, and then open it back up

and turn it back on. And I look at him and I say, how'd you do that? How do you do that? There was a related story elsewhere where he was talking about cars and he said everything as computers. That was the White House lawn Tesla sales pitch commercial.

That feels like a different decade, by the way. Yeah. That seems like it can't pop. possibly have been this year, but it was. I mean, this isn't necessarily related to his brain melting, but his face did look like Haley Joel Osmet in AI when like the things are going wrong on the inside and things are sparking and like one half of his face

like starts to melt down. That was happening here and there. There was his inability to pronounce the key ingredient in Tylenol at a... H.C. Dave. Hang on a second. hang on you're going to need to help me about this see if I can do this

I like how he immediately abandon it and he's like look man you know what it is Acetamata fin I see it but God bless you a shitty Shetty Shettie Shabbadoo

which it should be noted was not an incidental part of the press conference the entirety of the press conference was to make the claim that is Cetametam, the key active ingredient in Tylenol causes autism. You would think you would do enough homework to know how to pronounce the key active ingredient. That would be an incorrect assumption.

You know what else you would think that Tylenol would do anything about it? Like, Tylenol, get up. Get up, Tylenol. They're lying about you. There was the time that a guy fainted, away in the middle of his press conference. So this was a really good one because a guy

fainted in a press conference while he just stood there and didn't do shit. He got up, no, while he photoshopped himself badly into the scene somehow in real life. The crazy thing was he got up as if he's like, oh so this is where I get up and I stand like

a sentry real quick. Like that was like as if that was like his brain was like, okay Donald do your part now. Everybody's looking at the guy who died and he's just standing facing forward like we're still taking the picture right yeah it's it's worth noting that was the same press conference where he first started falling out in the middle of like it was it opened with dr oz giving a speech part one was him falling asleep yeah yeah it dr oz gave a speech and when he said like that america can sleep again trump like literally fell asleep

Like Dr. Oz said people can sleep again and he like was so sleepy that he just had to take that shit literally. Yeah. It's always sick when people are, I mean, it shows how strong you are when people are giving a speech and they basically do it at your bedside. Like the lectern was next to the resolute desk so Trump could just sit while it was happening. Yeah. Such an odd visual or it's like, well, I can't get up. So just bring the lectern here. so it looks like

I'm here I was like yeah I had them put wheels on it yeah yeah company rep

from one of the one of the health care companies that was there literally passed out which would seem like I don't know

I wonder if their stock price went down after that yeah I don't know I know Tylenol sure did but um

he passed the fuck out and uh Trump I think Trump's weird response and like just being like am I still asleep? Is this really happening?

Yeah. Was overshadowed a bit by RFK Jr. fucking bolting out of the room. But again, just like an amazing display of just being confused and not knowing what the fuck is happening at all. The speed run towards

fascism is also happening too because they like the people behind this movement who really want like the policy changes know that they have like a human rubber stamp in the form of a senile Trump can basically get as much through because he has no fucking idea

what's going on. And not even as if he did, he'd be like, well, I don't agree with this. But even more so because it's like, dude, let's go over to fucking Barron's house. His dad's so old, we can play with fucking nuclear warheads. Trump is the presidential equivalent of the parent who's like passed out

on the couch and you're able to drink all their beer. Drink or drive their car, shoot the guns out of the car if you want. Like, whatever. Shoot the car. who gives a shit, it's a fucking piece of shit anyway. But then the ones I think that were the most repeatable were these two. I do think it is honorable mention to bring up this one, if we remember. Nothing bad can happen.

It can only good happen. That was a good one. That was also a good one. Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen. That's also a quotable. That sounds like something Homer Simpson would say. Just for the record, I think so people can hear the acid.

If it was effective immediately, the FDA, will be notifying physicians at the use of, I said, well, let's see how we say that. How we say that. He stopped immediately. Ah, well,

menofen. Hmm. Okay. No, I'm going to do it on my own. I'm going to do it myself. Give me the keys, dad. I'm a big boy. No, I can do it.

I can drive just good, just good. Then there's obviously everything's computer. That's beautiful. This is a different panel than I've had. Everything's computer. Man. God. Legendary.

Shit. And then a different panel than everything's computer. I just, I love how that speaks to the state of the automotive industry and how they've, no way, he's just, he's just saying what he sees. Yeah.

It's all computer. I don't know what this shit is. Everything's computer. But yeah, I think the one that got the most mileage as just a fucking repeatable is definitely the baron one is baron's aptitude in your view business or politics maybe technology he can look at a computer i'd try turn it off his car i'd turn it off i turn off his laptop i said oh good and i go back five minutes later he's got his laptop i said how'd you do that not your business dad

no how you do that i just love how this gives you a little glimpse into their relationship of just right oh it's definitely are you winning son Shut up. Shut the fuck up. You smell like piss, bitch. Just the fuck out of here. All right, baby. I love you.

I was going to say my number one though that we haven't covered yet is just because we knew that he was being given a cognitive test like in past years. Yeah, yeah. But he has since gotten it in his head because he like, he's been in skunked in just like a cocoon of yes man for so long that like he just. can't even have a thought that like maybe this is embarrassing what I'm doing and so he just keeps fucking bragging about this cognitive test and we have the cognitive that he gets like every three months it seems every three months because they know he's teetering on the edge of not being

able to identify which one is a lion and which one is a camel that's the wildest thing to me I feel like he's had like seven of these in his two terms and I've never heard of a cognitive test before well there's also the MRIs where they're like, oh, these are preventative MRIs or something. And like a few doctors came on. They're like, there's no such fucking thing as that. Preventative MRI? You're monitor.

You're curious about what the fuck is going on. And that's why you're doing it. And it's like, and now we're going to scan your brain and heart preventatively. It's all part of a preventative measure. The other thing, though, too, with the cognitive test, it's clearly a product of because he has such a childlike mind now and his senility, just like how the Johnny Infantino FIFA piece order is like, and this is your

award that you can show. Everybody's infanticalizing it. Are you ready to take your, how smart am I test, Mr. President? Absolutely. I'm ready. Nailing it from day one. I'd like to see AOC do this.

It's like when my grandmother would be like, you need to eat spinach like Popeye so you could be strong. I'm like, I'll be strong. She's like, yeah, you'll be strong like Popeye. And I'm like, hell yeah. And then I thought I was, I was not fucking strong because I ate that shit. But I believed for a moment.

I believed because I had a child like mine. I can pick up on complex patterns like one A, two. You have no idea where it's going. Well, what do we have here? What do we have here? Guess what? And then I get that right. The doctors look at me.

They say, how do you do that? They say, sir, with tears running down their face. They walk up to you. And they give me a big goat star in my forehead. And they say, how do you do that? I said, none of your business. I can't. This shit doesn't get better.

It doesn't, he's not going the other way on this one. And that's the thing where they say, too, there's a lot of speculation about the Alzheimer's medication he might be on because they're like, oh, the hand bandages look like maybe he's getting Lequemble, which is like an Alzheimer's medication, maybe like through his like wrist or something. And that's why he's like now the bandages are ever present. Short for quimbing yama. That's how they say Wembe's name in France. Le Quimby. Le Quendi. But yeah, like, and then I think a few, like a few medical people were saying, like, you know,

the one of the side effects is like your energy level goes in the toilet when you're on this, which could explain the sleepiness. But also to your point, it's like, this is only for early. And it's effective for a small number of people in the early phase. Once it progresses, there's nothing that can be done. And again, if you've had relatives go through this kind of mental decline, you know that, like, It's hard enough when they have no job or responsibilities. Now map the presidency over that and whatever who fucking knows.

Yeah. It is wild that our very last president showed us exactly like, this is bad, man. You can like have somebody in there. It doesn't really know what's going on. Yeah. And everybody will just like protect them. And then now we're getting like that ramped all the way up. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, let's just keep giving them awards and treats for the next four years. It'll be good.

It'll be good for everyone. All right. That is our numbers 10 through six stories of the year. We're at the top five. Holy shit. Oh, my God. Don't fuck this up. Don't fuck this up.

Don't fuck this up. So we're going to leave you on a cliffhanger. We're going to be back soon with probably the next episode. to tell you what the top five stories, including the number one story of the year 2025 is on the Daily Zykeist. Until then, Miles. Don't worry about me. Just on the computer. I'm on the computer.

How'd you do that? How'd I do that? Brian, the editor. Where can people find you? At Miles' house. Okay. And you can find Miles at my house on the side of my house taking big shits. I call it again, sending a message.
