Cows require a lot. Oh, yeah, brother. I got snake in a sausage. Rattlesnake Jack? You asking Rattlesnake Jack that? I got bit by a rattlesnake jack. I got bit by a rattlesnake and started crying. It ended up.

It was a milk snake. It's a garden snake. I peed my pants. That's why they call me rattlesnake Jack. I ran a real matter After we recorded yesterday I ran into Polly in the

out in the lobby of our esteemed studio Shujo Yeah he was at Shujo We had a great lovely conversation Pallavi

Molly Lambert and then Pallavi stood up to go into the recording session and as she passed me she was like God I just have this

urge to like put like do a fake punch and make you flinch I was like what the fuck after your wonderful conversation she's like god I want to make you because I know you would flinch yeah yeah you flinch so hard all the sweat would be flying off

you fucking general Michael flinch over here what's up you and on that's right anyways this is the episode where we tell you some of the things that are trending on this Tuesday August 11th The birthday of hip hop You never forget 8-11

It's bigger than hip Hop hip hop hip hop You know They invented hip-hop on 811 And a few short years later You know what I'm saying? Yeah 311 411

So I guess it went 811 311 911 And I don't think I have to tell you How the math works on that Wait, wasn't the terrorist attack in Spain on 3-11? Was it? Yeah, I believe. Was it a reference to the band? No, definitely not.

That was on, yeah, 3-11. Damn. I don't know what I'm fucking obsessed with the 11th. As I said, 3-Eleven, I was like, wait, no, that was a terrorist attack. I know I'm just trying to reference the band from Iowa, but, or Nebraska. No. Nebraska. Yeah.

Omaha. Omaha. People don't realize that. They're from Omaha. That's an Omaha Nebraska product 311. Omaha is a cool town. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I had the original Rubin there.

Hey, speaking of the Midwest, these United States of America. We got to talk about the Maga Patriot Games. Ending tonight. Tonight. Guys, didn't know they started. It fucking started already. And the finale's fucking tonight, guys. Highly anticipated finale of a thing.

thing I didn't know was happening. Yeah. It's like the opposite of, like the World Cup heading in. I was like, oh, man, this is, nobody cares about this. And then it starts happening and everybody's just all about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Olympics, same thing. The, what was the steroid games one?

Oh, the enhanced games. Yeah, yeah. Not quite. Not quite, didn't quite. It came and went. It shows that things that are, and like the legitimate spirit of international competition. The Angel Studios media complex.

You know what I mean? Exactly. Yeah. Your culture war competition things aren't going to do well. Daily Wire Studios. Tonight is the finale. Okay. The physical competition show where kids from all the states and territories,

one male, one female gather to win $250,000 in scholarship. So the winner, each one will get $125K for a college scholarship, which at the current rate, I believe, will pay for half of a semester at college. Right. But part of the fun of this seemed like it was going to be, how do you select the best athlete from each state?

Like, are there going to be like decatholans? Yeah, like, are we talking like the top, like, you know, prospects? Yeah, the greatest track and field athletes, I would assume, is what we'd be looking at. Well, the thing is the selection process has been, it's been kept in a black box opaque. No one knows. The one thing that makes this interesting. Yeah, yeah. But a quick look at the photos I've seen of the contestants.

Checking them out. There's something I can't quite, quite put my finger on. It's a bunch of white children. It looks like a Christian youth group. Well, you know what? You might actually be right because CNN in the Daily Peace were asking, you know, how the fuck? Like, where do these kids come from exactly?

They said they reported, quote, that some participants were selected in part for their support of Trump's political movement and Christian faith. Yeah. Wow. Look at this one. Many are homeschool or attend private Christian schools. And some do not actually live in the states they are representing.

This is from one kid. This is from one kid. People from the states? 16-year-old Bobby. Vickers said it was this is what he said this is the to CNN quote I get a bunch of questions like why are you representing Massachusetts and not your home state that's 16 year old Bobby Vickers who's from California uh-huh so look they're just like hey man are you white Christian are you Maga okay you're Puerto Rican to you're representing Puerto Rico in the

fucking event I did though I seems bad for his electoral votes when they can't even find people who are into him from every state. Yeah, yeah. The whole thing is a sham. So, you know, the Daily Beast was also asking, like, the group,

you know, Freedom 250 that's putting all this shit together. Like, what about like the financing of it? They're like, ah, no comment. Wasn't it supposed to be in D.C.?

And now it's in Geneva, Ohio? Yeah, yeah, no comment. Just, come on. Trump's going to be here later. The Geneva Convention. I believe that's where that took place.

Yeah. I watched the clip. of some clips of the competition not that compelling. It's like a bunch of kids doing like T-moon ninja warrior obstacle courses and like kicking Velcro soccer balls on a target and some like

boot camp type stuff. It's really like I mean again just like summer camp vibes 100% yeah yeah this is just a Velcro soccer ball is not communicating the height of athletic achievement to me. When you watch like Legends of the Hidden Temple

we're like these kids are kind of athletic I could see that being fun if they had any sort of precision when it came to the selection of the kids. If you actually got the best track out, like this is a good idea poorly executed. Yeah,

because there's one thing where it's like clear that they were like having kids like carry those like, you know, 10 gallon canisters of water like just like fucking farmer lifting it across like a distance. I'm like,

yeah, that's where you need some like Haas farm kid. Yeah. I want to see them go up against like the fucking city kid and see, you know, like that. Again, I don't really need to see this because it's a bunch of jingolistic nonsense,

but that would have been the best version of this. But again, this isn't about anything outside of, like, promoting this, like, ethno-nationalist sort of identity of the United States. These kids look like they live the rich lifestyle spoiled like an ordinary white child. Yeah. To quote cash still rules, scary hours. The other thing, I did look at clips, though, there were some black contestants. So I don't want to say...

Just not in the picture. Just not in the majority of the photos I have seen in articles discussing this event. But I did see black boys and girls also competing. But now I think the next step here, the other big fail on the horizon is that attendance has been terrible. They're trying to sell this as like a spectator event. Yeah. They're really trying to. So like they've been just blasting people with emails.

and messages to fucking please come out and do not humiliate the president again with a sparsely attended jingoistic event failure this is on ABC this is being nationally televised yes yes how has like this hasn't broken through

at all at all yeah it started Saturday shocking to me it started Saturday so I don't know yeah it's you might be able to catch it tonight it's a real nothing burger yeah this is what the email said quote you will not want to miss this. President Donald

J. Trump athletes from across the carjee battling for $250,000 of scholarships a once-a-lifetime event, and you can be there as part of the live audience for the ESPN on ABC National Television Prime Time Special. Please come. Nobody's listening. I told you we had to kill the losers.

Got to have stakes, man. There's that one asshole in the back. Be like, didn't I tell you? Didn't I tell you? Didn't it? What I say? Hunger Games? Kids are too alive. Wasn't for scholarship money. I'll tell you that much brother. You thought you were going to do hunger games numbers with this? Come on man. Fucking blunger games, bro. That was a big blunger games on your part. Let's talk about the president, our brave, fearless leader. The Washington Post is reporting that Trump

secretly swapped planes while leaving that NATO summit in Turkey last month. He'd arrived in the newer plane, the Qatari bribe, but then suspiciously declared that he'd be, he'd be, he, he, bribe force one declared that he'd be leaving on the old Air Force One for old time's sake, you know, I like to do stuff like that sometimes for old time and he reportedly boarded the old plane then snuck out with the help of a catering truck like a damn Taylor Swift sneaking out in a suitcase. They stuck him in a catering truck

which drove him to the military aircraft. He actually flew on and this was all due to a possibly Iranian threat, which, you know, moving, moving the king around the board surreptitiously, makes military sense. We've done it before with, I guess, Bill Clinton at a certain point, was freaked out about Al-Qaeda back in 2000, not freaked out enough to, you know, get, get us prepared for 9-11, but yeah, freaked out enough to, he had Air Force One leave Pakistan without him as a decoy and he left five hours later on a different flight. One key difference, Miles, is that Clinton scheme and Trump scheme, apart from the pilots,

the plane that Clinton sent out as a decoy was empty. It was not crammed full of unwitting human shield, whereas Trump was just snuck off and then let the plane take off that they thought was going to be attacked, let it take off with journalists, which makes sense for him, but also like his staff on board. That can't be a good feeling. It's also like the shit

that he said to them too, like after the subterfuge was up it's like also really alarming. Yeah. So for reporters were a little suspicious when they were asked to lower the window shades on the plane from Turkey which I don't know why they were because we're all asked to lower our window shades

when you travel. commercial, but apparently that's not common on Air Force One. And then when Trump rejoined everyone in the UK, he claimed this was because of threats on his life adding, but if I go, you go, right? Jesus Christ, dude. Fuck no. Do not want. Yeah.

It really is wild that you've been turned into an unwitting meat puppet. Yeah. Because Grandpa was literally scared shitless about, you know, things happening. because of him starting a war. Well, it's not going to be a good decoy if you're not on there. So, uh, got to, got to take one for the team. Hey, but if I go, we all go. Am I right?

Where are we? Uh, oh shit, is that QAnon? I thought I'd mix up. Hey, where my day one's at? That's right. Yeah. To the wheels fucking come off. Am I right?

Maggie? All right. We're all going to fucking die on this fucking play. We're all going down together. Am I right? I wonder if that, but, but also in that instance, no. because you would have let them go down on a decoy plane.

Right. Which is funny too. It's like, okay, but I guess now he's like, well, now that I'm on here, the thing that could cause the plane to go down, we're all going to go down together. Before,

I would have been... No real threat anymore, but, you know, theoretically. How would they have played that if, honestly, that fucking, that plane was attacked? Right?

They would have, they would have done it. They would have just used it as a crazy pretext to ask, or justification to escalate. But also, like, people have been like,

Like, wait, you just sent that plane out as a decoy with everyone on it? Guys, you're missing the point, man. He's alive. He's still alive. He's alive, bro. He would come out like some Houdini shit. Like, the reveal that he was still alive would have been wild. He would have probably made an AI video where there's like the flaming rubble and his fucking hand just like shushed out from the fucking

walks out of it like a fucking Terminator. Yeah, like Calisi or some shit, but naked. Uh, let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about a squid game. Oh, Donald Trump. More games. Following asleep while signing vaccine executive orders that will doom us.

And we might talk about Mark Zuckerberg. We'll be right back. There's no shortcut for saving time. But saving money is simple. Just combine your car and home insurance with Bel Air Direct and save. Get a quote at bellair direct.com. On Solita, we share the messy stories of traveling alone as a woman. Your duolingo is not going to come back to you when a man is inside of you.

Oh, no. I'm Julie Pinero, and I travel by myself because it's a rare space where I can say yes without asking anyone else first. I'm on a mission to reclaim the word solita, trading the pity for possibility. Every time I tried to be alone, I kept meeting people, and they were like, you smiled at us. Not a lot of people smile around here. I can wait four hours for the next bus or this random dude is offering me a ride on his motorcycle. It's when you're alone that you're most receptive to the world as it is and not the lies you're sold about it. So whether you're a solo travel veteran or you're too nervous to book your first trip,

I hope you listen to Solita on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Our town is small taters by most standards, right? but to the people who grew up here, it's everything. What happens when a quiet Tennessee town becomes the front line in a battle over the future of America? Developers with right-wing ties have purchased hundreds of acres of land in the area. The first thing you see when it pops up is pioneers in Appalachia. But they weren't just planning houses. We need cities on a shining hill that exemplify and embody the Christian way of life.

Stop right there. Is that normal? A podcast about what happens. when a small town becomes the site of a social experiment. God need men to rule. Great. And decides to fight back. Do not use my hard work to sell your bull-h-h-hue. They're not just opposing what's being planned for here.

Our hometown is not a test tube. They feel like they're standing in opposition to an entire administration. Guess you didn't move in on a bunch of dumb hillbillies now, did you? Listen to Our Town on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, Portlandia fans. Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen here. You know us, or rather you know them.

How did any of this get made? Why do we think that was a good idea? We're ready

to talk about it. And we'll also be joined by the people who helped bring it all to life. Guestores, collaborators, and friends, including director Jonathan Chrysall, the mayor himself, Kyle McLaughlin, legendary musician Amy Mann, and many more. Kyle is going for it here. You fully improvised, not just words, but a song, a melody. I thought he was going to write. I thought you were all going to write a song. I remember you thinking that. Listen to Podlandia. Ayo rewatch on the IHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.

And more fun games, more dystopian games. So, Squid game. Big hit when it was just made by a Korean production company. Got a contract with Netflix and Netflix put it out. it was a massive hit and Netflix was like, all right, we're, we'll take it from here, guys. All right.

Yeah, let me ring as much out. Let me bring some more out of this towel here. And season two was bad. Nobody liked it. Which, which seems weird. I hated that I couldn't get through it. Like,

I was so excited to fire up season two. Although there were so many questions at the end of season one that I was like, like, where do you take this? Yeah. And then watching it, I was kind of like, I don't know. I, there's definitely a version.

of reality where that show is on HBO and season two rips. Yeah, right. I would say but I for one, didn't even bother starting Squid Game season two. I loved Squid Game Season 1. Didn't even bother starting

season 2 because this is what happens with Netflix shows. They, instead of greeting it as like, you know, wow, this is a work of art that we're going to be able to continue work of art. to tell as, you know,

we'll continue to tell this story that people like, it becomes a property to be economically exploited. Yeah. And it's very much Brian Cranston in the studio when he's like,

we don't, we make movies. That's right. We don't do cinema or film. We make fucking movies. Yeah, yeah. And we'll make the cool age shit. Anyways, in addition to ruining season two,

they, uh, created a squid game reality show. and that, you know, which seems fucked up, it would be like, you know, the running man being a hit and then being like, we're going to create a running man TV show

where you kill people. Yeah, I definitely watched the first season of this good game. Of the reality show. Yeah, yeah. It was just, it was they really were like laying up the human interest stuff. You should look and be like,

I bet those people would dance for some gas, wouldn't they? Gas will make them dance. But at the end of season two, apparently there is a Cape Lanchet cameo. So Cape Lanchet cameo that teased a reboot of an American squid games. Right. And there was reporting that David Fincher would direct the American remake of Squig Game. Oh, I remember. I think we talked about it when this was another.

Yeah, right, right. Which like, I don't know. You're like, that would be cool. He doesn't, he doesn't miss. I'm doing the research for upcoming Madonna icon episode. Did you know he, like, directed all her, like a lot of, like the Vogue video and shit? I remember, I remember like something like that, but I, no, he did more than one video. Yeah, he did a couple.

But Vogue is like fucking iconic. Yeah. That was before Alien 3. He was just out here. Anyways, that, that project is dead. They're apparently not going to do that. Netflix is still not. not giving up on making more

Squid Game shows. They're reportedly going to produce a shitload of Squid Game spin-off specifically tailored to different territories rather than just the U.S., which is not unlike their approach to Love is Blind. Right, right, right. Like all their shows. They're like, oh, we got a format, now

send it across the fucking world. Ship it. Ship it. We got it. The ultimatum. Love is blind. Squid Games. That's right. Just treating Squid Game is like they, they just couldn't wait to treat this thing like a reality show. Right, right.

We'll turn it into a reality show. We'll do a thing where you like, uh, you know, just do different versions from around the world like we do with our reality shows. Perfect. It's perfect. What was the, oh, man, like 12 years of slave is streaming doing numbers on Netflix right now. Okay. How do you turn 12 years of slave into a reality dating show format that we can, we can iterate on many times?

it just feels like that's how like A to B the thinking is. It's like, hey, like in any development meeting and Netflix, like, is there a chance we can make this a reality format? Also, how do we turn this into unscripted? The unscripted guys are licking their chops looking at this. Oh, yeah. Looking at these 12 years of slave numbers. They definitely get that fun. I know somebody who works making like reality competition stuff at Netflix.

And it sounds like for the stuff that like once it starts doing well, like they kind of let people. people would have been like, all right, here's a fucking weirder idea. And either gets thumbs up or thumbs down. But with this kind of stuff. That's fine. That's great. From what I understand, they do good reality competitions. The best ones are the Korean ones, though.

I'll be real. Like physical 100. Physical 100 is great. And then when they did Asian race war, when they made all the Asian countries battle it out against... They did that? Bro, there were straight up wrestling competitions. It was like games. The stakes have never been higher.

It was my... experience with older Koreans and how they feel about Japanese people and Chinese people. There are moments where you have like, there's this one event where like all these people like they're on like a 10 foot elevated circular platform and whoever has the most people on it when the countdown ends wins. So it's basically like a very like a physical manifestation of like colonization and like resisting it. Wow. We're like you're just like get them off, get them up, push them off. Or people have like strategies on how to rip people off.

And like in one of the, like the, there was one where the Japanese and Korean teams kept drawing. So they had to do rematches over and it became so grueling. But like,

you could just see in their minds like, just like the fucking history between the two and I was texting one of my friends who's Japanese. I'm like, I can't believe this is some shit right now. Like that is on TV. That was on Netflix?

Yeah, yeah. That was on the physical 100 Asia one. So it was like Thailand, the Philippines, Australia like yeah it was a very I think they were

Asian Thank you Ben Stiller All right Let's check back in with Donald Trump Because He Yesterday Had made one appearance

Yep And he went one for one You know One shot won't kill In terms of In terms of falling asleep In public Oh yeah yeah

One shot to fall asleep In public Nailed it And he nailed it Yeah He was fucking slumped, bro.

He was sliding off the side. That's sling off. It wasn't sliding off. But he had, he had that zombie fold up. Yeah. It was awfully, maybe that's just,

he's just trying to, you know, identify with, with the youth. The youth then. I know it's up. Catch me, just slumped on that fend.

But yeah, he, so, you know, he can't get anything done legislatively and is fully cornered in regards to the war in Iran. And,

you know, he's been on the lookout for some kind of win, even the concept of a win. So enter this latest win in the form of an executive order that continues to put the health of America's children at risk. Quote, President Trump issued an executive order Monday calling for fewer childhood vaccinations, splitting the childhood MMR vaccine into three shots and delivering vaccines at separate medical visits under the draft executive order obtained by the post dubbed gold standard childhood vaccine recommendations.

Gold to this fucking guy. The White House would divide vaccines into three categories and direct federal agencies to take steps to advance them. Yeah, this is at that signing before Trump fell asleep, he just was rattling off lies

that he was even like not even really committed to that he said. This is one he said, he said, just quote, I saw this early on and I've seen proof of it where they have a vaccination that looks like the size of a bottle of soda poured into a little child's

body. The uhs are part of the quote. Okay. Yeah, yeah. And bad things happen in many, too many cases. So you've,

you've, I saw this early on and I've seen proof of it where they put a soda, they pour a soda bottle in a child's body. Yeah, whole soda bottle of vaccine. And it wasn't even those two liters.

It's like those three liters you get at value grocery stores. Yeah, yeah. Shasta. I believe they had one. It was vaccine zero. It wasn't even the full-bodied sugar one. No, all very bad.

Very bad. Very yucky. So yeah, I'm like, oh, so you saw them pour a soda bottle? Well, surely this has the backing of some scientific body if they're going to change the way that vaccines are given to children, right? Oh, come on, man. We already know that group of vaccine freaks. It's like the American Medical Association came out immediately to warn people that like, If you think this is a remotely good idea, like that tinkering with a vaccine schedule and making outlandish claims and you don't think this needs to be backed up by mountains of rigorous research, you're dumb.

What the fuck are we talking about? Because right now we've given up rigorous research. We've traded that in for just like vibes of a loose coalition of anti-science ghouls. There was a conspiracy theory that came out of this appearance by Trump. that one of his aides who was standing behind him was pressing a button to shake him awake because she was like, the whole meeting, she like kind of had her hand on her belly,

like a soap opera actress trying to communicate that they're pregnant, you know? Yeah, yeah, yep. And then she would like touch a part of her belly and then he would like kind of snap awake a little bit. It's preposterous. Yeah. I think it came about because somebody had the association

in their unconscious of belly, button and we're like there might be a button on her belly. But like this is where we're at where people are like, if you look, the movement of the AIDS in the background seem to be changing whether he is snapping awake or falling asleep, which is just in a constant kind of cycle of doing. That's not even a good one. I like, like, you got to go higher stakes than there's a button that's on someone's stomach. Like, why would you just hold it in the palm?

your hand like a clicker. So you don't have to be like making these obvious movements. I like it better if somehow that aid behind him is actually like the symbiote or something that controls Trump. And it can just touch its stomach and it's like to wake up its goblin child. I don't know. Something like that. Yeah.

That's more interesting. Like stand so close to him. There's like some connection. Some like E.T. Elliott style connection that they discovered while you. using this woman as his blood bag, you know? It was just like, oh my God, so much blood has gone into him that they've actually shipped Theseus style.

Like, he is her partially. And so, like, we need her nearby. Keep him alive. Yep. Just putting it out there. Just ideas. Just riffing, guys. Call me, JJ Abrams.

All right. Those are some of the things that are trending. On this, August 11th, we are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Get your vaccines while you still can. Get your flu shots.

Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye. Bye. The Daily Zykeyes is executive produced by Catherine Law. Co-produced by Victor Wright. Co-written by J.M. McNabb. And edited and engineered by Brian Jeffries.
