Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 173, episode 5 of Dirt Daily Zeitgeist, a production of iHeartRadio. This is a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness. It is Friday, February 26th, 2021. My three-year-old's birthday. Yeah. Are you, are you joining the podcast now? Ramsey is here. My, my four-year-sey is here. My four-year-old is here.
Starting point is 00:02:46 My two-year-old's turning three today. It's all happening. My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Woo-hoo. We're gonna host it. We're gonna host. When you are down, we'll bring the sound. Woo-hoo! You already know it.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Already know. The mornings will start by making you smart. Ooh. And talking about farts. That is courtesy of Chrissy Yamaguchi, man. Had to add that last part. He was making a sound too first rate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:25 And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. Oh, it's Miles Gray straight out of the San Fernando Valley. The legendary Blasian Hideo Noho is in the building. Thank you so much. To my mind, I was an AKA that came to me in a dream, which was wild because it felt like the lowest hanging fruit ever that I was talking about with some of my friends about this pun. Shout out to Hideo Nomo. For people who don't know, Nomo, the Japanese baseball pitcher
Starting point is 00:03:56 who came through the Dodgers, number one six. Yeah, yeah. Okay. And then Noho, shorthand for North Hollywood, my hometown, home ground. I thought you said that on yesterday's episode. I think I kept talking about it. I think after I did. You said something subconsciously, and then it made it into your dream world.
Starting point is 00:04:18 No, I did mention how I changed my display name to Hideo Noho, but I didn't come out with it to say, here I am, y'all. Hideo Noho, in your face't come out with it to say, here I am, y'all. Hideo Noho in your face. Yes. Get it tatted. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious, the talented, the brilliant Mr. Dave Schilling!
Starting point is 00:04:40 Dave! Hello, guys. Hey. Did you hear my sound effect that I did for myself? I loved it. I think it was cool. That was like chicken air horn. I should have said dapper, too, because Dave always brings it.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Dave is always looking so good. We spent 15 minutes deciding whether or not we should just have him not put video on. You're dressed like Mahershala ali's stylist or some shit with your nice turtleneck on i like that i'm not with a blazer mahershala ali i'm dressed like his employee which is fine no you're just like the person he relies on to look good that's what's implied there because if you have us that means you can't dress your damn self you know so that's what i meant it wasn't an employee employer relationship i was indicated listen you know we're all here for the worker we're all we're all you know leftists who care about the rights of workers and maherjee ali's stylist should be in a union yeah well i said it there
Starting point is 00:05:35 i said it what is your first of all dave what your drip if people follow you on twitter things have i've i've seen you just just turn into a superhero before my eyes with some of your outfits. They're so tough. I've leveled up a little bit, yeah. He's up, but he got the ankles showing, got the linen pants. All right, well, I'm going to give some secrets out. Number one, you got to get on the RealReal. It's an app.
Starting point is 00:06:00 It's got tons of consignment luxury clothing. Oh, gotcha. clothing gotcha yeah now this is i don't want to i don't want our household is a big supporter of the real real good i don't want to blow up the spot completely but i think one of the reasons why this app is got so many amazing grails and just crazy like prada guc, and stuff that's super cheap is because so many people are dying. Oh my god, Dave. Vintage pieces. Are dying.
Starting point is 00:06:33 You're like, suddenly there's an influx of Gucci from the 80s and 70s. Yeah, what is happening? It's just a bunch of rich people in Beverly Hills falling over in their swimming pool. It's very sad. And here we are to feast on their leavings. Your boy is reaping the benefits. Their leavings.
Starting point is 00:06:50 The second thing I want to shout out is GQ writer Rachel Tastian has an invite only newsletter called Opulent Tips, which if you don't read GQ, you don't read Rachel, you should. You should try to get on the
Starting point is 00:07:05 mailing list for this newsletter because she has the best recommendations for everything from like the best plates to buy to where to get the most fire johns in the whole right so you gotta find rachel she's at the profit pizza on twitter the when i look at you dave you're wearing a beautiful vintage armani sport coat you know what i mean i don I mean? I won't even deign to assume what that material is on your neck and upper body. Oh, this is a mock neck. I'm not going to say what it's made of. Okay, that's fine. That'd be gauche.
Starting point is 00:07:34 Yeah, we know. But I can clock it through the Zoom. I know what's up there. But part of me, I get stressed out when I see people dress so well because I'm so sloppy and high and I spill shit on myself and my spatial awareness is bad out when I see people dress so well because I'm so sloppy and high and I spill shit on myself and my spatial awareness is bad sometimes when I wear clothing.
Starting point is 00:07:50 I'm like, oh man, I would fuck that outfit up in fucking two minutes. I'm wearing white pants right now. White pants! In 2021! That's stressing me out. Are they covered in ramen spackle? Ramen spatter?
Starting point is 00:08:05 Because that's a... I don't understand that. Marinara, at least a little bit. I busted these out just for this show. If you don't see them at all, I feel better. Yeah, I love it. We might have to introduce a video component just in case Dave shows up.
Starting point is 00:08:21 I know, we need that E E red carpet, like 360 cam. 3D. The Manny Petty box. Have you seen that? Where you put your hands in it? Yeah, exactly. But it's by feet. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:33 So you can see what the kicks are. Why not? You know? And I just, but also Jack and I have to do it too. So just the juxtaposition of like someone really well dressed and then our slovenly outfits. I love it. Looks like Jack's bare ass feet that haven't been clipped in days. of someone really well-dressed and then our slovenly outfits. I love it. Miles' bare-ass feet that haven't been clipped in days.
Starting point is 00:08:48 Looks like Jack's Nike ankle socks are wearing out a little more at the heel. Looks like you got a hole there. So that's the latest development. Yeah. I guess a Kate Middleton of sorts in that he's worn that same pair of socks five times in a row now on camera.
Starting point is 00:09:03 Yeah. You can't smell them so much dave you seem like the sort of guy who when his socks get a hole in them he throws them out is that accurate no actually socks are the one place where i completely don't give a shit i'm just like nobody's gonna see no one cares i wear a lot of no-show socks. I wear loafers instead of sneakers or anything like that. I will ride with a sock until it basically can't hold my foot anymore. Until it's an anklet. That's right.
Starting point is 00:09:37 That is the next place where I'm going to upgrade my life and become more of a classy person is socks. I can't handle it. Don't do it to me like that. All right, Dave. We are going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we are going to tell the people a few of the things we're talking about. We are going to talk about Teenage Mutant Ninja Gobbles. He appeared on Laura Ingraham's show and had some interesting things to say.
Starting point is 00:10:04 We'll listen to say. So we'll listen to him. Yeah, he's sensitive now. He's gone sensitive on us. We are going to talk about Trump's tax returns. We're going to talk about Marjorie Taylor Greene. We're going to talk about the crypto art world. We're going to talk about Lady Gaga's dog napping. More importantly, our dog walker was shot four times.
Starting point is 00:10:25 I feel like that's being undercovered a little bit um from her from her side so we'll talk about all that uh plenty more but first dave we like to ask our guest what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are i just yesterday evening looked up how to complain to fedex if your packages get lost i was talking about this on twitter uh because it was really distressing i was supposed to get a jacket a blazer from paris and it was supposed to be delivered yesterday and it was just sitting at the sort facility in los angeles like i could just go over there right now in my car, just drive over there and say, you have my package. Here's my ID. Give me my jacket.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Now I got to keep waiting. But now it's available for pickup at the Walgreens on 6th and Vermont. So when this is over, I am jetting over there to that Walgreens and asking for my jacket. Oh, you get your blazers from Walgreens too? Yes, I do. so that makes me feel better yeah let me see the inner label of that jacket real quick just as i thought cvs of course they have it with the like knockoff reading glasses uh what are those called foster browns yeah yeah amazing outfit yeah i mean there's a lot of I mean the weather Fucked a lot of things up especially for the
Starting point is 00:11:46 FedEx hub it was in Memphis Yeah that fucked up a lot of stuff I was trying to get some recording equipment that I just couldn't wait for any longer For so I mean it wasn't even Shipped but like just that delay the Weather there the ramifications And I mean you know
Starting point is 00:12:01 Fuck all the vaccine that FedEx was trying To figure out where to get it. Get this man's jacket to him. Give me my Johns, you fucks. Let me make it clear, though. The people who work for FedEx and UPS and USPS are heroes. They work super hard for not enough money. The Amazon workers who deserve to unionize and deserve, you know, actual real wages and proper treatment and health insurance and all those things.
Starting point is 00:12:29 It's not your fault. I'm not complaining about the service. I'm complaining about my own need to have clothes in my closet, which I don't need. So let's just say this is a total waste of time, and I am a selfish person, and I'm sorry to all the postal workers for complaining at all full circle deserve my shit full circle uh what is something you think is underrated getting dressed in the morning this is going to be a theme for today get dressed in the morning i don't know if the last time i was on here i said the same thing but i'm going to say
Starting point is 00:13:02 it again if i did get dressed in the morning morning. I have a rolling rack. It is filled with clothes. Whatever is going on this season is going to be out on the rolling rack. Everything that I'm not wearing because it's out of season is in the closet. So I just go through in the morning, peel through each thing, think about what I'm going to wear with what thing, what shoes I'm going to wear. I do this every morning and my brain works better i've been more productive than i've ever been in my whole life when i started this routine of getting dressed every morning so how long you how long you've been doing this how long you've been on this since quarantine i also at the start of quarantine you're like i'm gonna resolve to still do the
Starting point is 00:13:39 thing of put clothes on man i the fucking the second like we were like okay so we can't come to the office monday i was goodbye clothes i've done hello robes i was like okay i'm gonna i'm gonna make this a project for myself and i did like a fit pic every day for the month of april right and then i i thought i'm gonna keep i'm gonna keep doing this whenever i want and buying clothes and like thinking about clothes in an even more serious way than I did before. And for some people it's stressful and annoying to think about what to wear every day, but for
Starting point is 00:14:11 me it's like putting a puzzle together. Yeah, whatever works for you. A puzzle that makes me look fucking great. Yeah. Most of the time I'm just in looks that are puzzling. The fuck? Huh? Interesting.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Four Seasons total landscaping shirt underneath a Lakers jersey? Where'd you get that Suncoast motion picture? Yeah, right, exactly. Wow. They're still around? Yeah. Oh, man. Shout out to the one at CityWalk.
Starting point is 00:14:43 They used to have the props from Time Cop in it. The legends. Wow. What is something you think is overrated? Sweatpants. Oh, come on. What the fuck is this now? Now you're pissed.
Starting point is 00:14:56 I'm sorry. I get it. Comfort is important to people. But I've found clothes that are comfortable that also look good. Stop with the sweatpants they're they're they're uh the sign of a of a an inactive mind a decaying you're getting soft america you've gotten you're getting a little over ahead of your margella's sir this is sweatpants look i think the difference is there is a certain amount of like mental bandwidth i can devote to what i will be wearing on my body and so just and this is me personally
Starting point is 00:15:33 when i would go in the before times there's a little bit of ego wrapped in because you're you're communicating to the world this is who i am with my clothing and then as the pandemic hit and that became just such a minor thing for me it the focus became do not be naked uh and that's really where i'm at but you know that's for you and if you think they're overrated i get it mista mista he's a fashionista i'm just trying to help people as we start to emerge from quarantine and begin re-exerting ourselves in the world. You're going to have to stop wearing those fucking sweatpants all the time. I think we just did a story about how architecture is going to change post-pandemic. I think we're joggers.
Starting point is 00:16:17 Joggers are the new suit pants. I think we may have fucked up fashion forever with COVID. I 100% disagree. I think there's always going to be people who are going to dress up. Oh, not like that. Oh, for sure. Either be one of those people or be in sweatpants. That's your choice.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Choose. For sure. Choose if you are going to stand out from the crowd or if you're going to be one of the sheep. You want to be a sheep? I'm no sheep. Oh, no, sir. A sheep I am not. Although this is fleece that I have
Starting point is 00:16:46 Born out of my body These sweatpants are cashmere Thank you See and oh man see if I had that shit Immediately I would probably drop a blunt In the middle of the crotch They would fucking incinerate and I'd be like This is why I just need to wear like garbage bags
Starting point is 00:17:02 Do we think like jeans are are neither uh high-end nor are they comfortable do we think jeans are gonna come back yeah dave what's your take on it because you come with some scathing to take so what's what are where does denim pants this is a great question i don't like jeans right nobody really likes jeans i feel like it was just like a thing where i mean like just in terms of dislike jeans i guess i don't dislike them but like we defaulted to them yeah i feel like we defaulted to them because they were just like acceptable and were worn with everything and now that we've broken through to joggers being something that you can wear with anything i wonder if
Starting point is 00:17:45 they will replace the jean i i think jeans were always the crutch for people who wanted to be comfortable right didn't want to um be you know in their pajamas right so yeah jeans were the casual friday um clothing option that everybody loved. And now that there is no such thing as casual Friday, every day is casual Friday. Right, right. Why wear jeans? But jeans are always going to be popular with skate kids. Jeans are always going to be popular with ravers.
Starting point is 00:18:19 Carpenters, various people who work with lathes. Jeans are always going to be around. But when I think about jeans, I think about in my head some guy, some 50-year-old dad with his polo shirt tucked in. Tucked in. Kirk Hall signature jeans. I think about my dad. It's the wash, though, too.
Starting point is 00:18:42 You know what I mean? Because there's that very standard my old trusty wranglers uh tone of blue that you know might as well be a blue lives matter rally as pants uh you might all be wearing it's a big blue stripe down the back of your cheese like the old avizus they used to have like the designs on it's just a big blue line i mean the way fashion was headed before the pandemic we might all be wearing shirts tucked into our jeans because of the dad shoes, the dad hats, the dad everything. The kids, look, and this is three washed old guys talking about fashion.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Every time I've been out and I see the Zoomer kids out there, I'm like, man, y'all are dressing like me when I was 14. Yeah. Yeah. That's the flex. I'm like, well, let me go to my mother's garage real quick because I will stunt on y'all in my world industries or hook up skate teeth. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:35 All right. We are going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project.
Starting point is 00:19:57 All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:20:11 What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

So sign up for Body and Soul at katiecouric.com slash body and soul. Taking better care of yourself is just a click away and we're back and yeah let's talk about this this was kind of a nice blast from the past the past being uh a month ago when donald trump was president and this motherfucker is still in power um yeah you know yes we have issues with biden's met many of uh biden's policies and the job he's doing but this uh this put me back back to where i was a mere month ago this is like mental not even gymnastics like it's like mental parkour uh what this fucking man is doing
Starting point is 00:24:28 so here we go yes biden comparatively much better than trump comparatively but there's you can't argue that not at all that's that's like the whole that's how that's how the election that's how he won the election be like look you put us next to each other. I edge him out basically by a little bit. So what are we doing here, folks? So that's what happened. This man, he's been in office. He's been trying to dismantle many of the fucked up policies that Donald Trump left us. Policies that we have called inhumane, cruel, totally fucked.
Starting point is 00:25:01 Yes. But then some kind of fucked up clockwork teenage mutant ninja garbles himself steven miller comes out the fucking shadows to go to on laura ingram's hate hoedown and he must have sprayed on the wrong hair on his head today he must have put the snowflake hair on today because just listen to how this man is just he is alarmed with this current administration's immigration policy. What we are seeing here is the cruelty and inhumanity of Joe Biden's immigration policies. He came into office and announced that there's an open door and that young people who come into this country illegally are going to be resettled instead of returned. He is forcing
Starting point is 00:25:45 thousands of young children into the arms of smugglers so yes he is the this is the cruelty and the inhumanity the my question is does he like he's obviously being like cartoonishly disingenuous but like does he know does he think his audience knows that and it's a bit where he's like just trying to uh dramatically weaponize the criticisms of the trump administration against the biden administration like he can't honestly think that people who are watching laura ingram's show are like yes uh be kinder well what's wrong with y'all i think it's not because it's all just an outrage football that we pass back and forth and so they they you know they work better with in possession of the outrage football even though their policy is like you know he didn't say a
Starting point is 00:26:43 single thing that would improve the conditions for anybody that's i would be like but do you remember what i did and he was trying to make using words like safe or whatever no motherfucker you it was pure chaos it was a humanitarian crisis at the border because of you i think i think it's also a concerted effort by the republican party to co-opt the messaging and the language of the left if they just say exactly what liberals say about conservatives it renders everything complete gibberish and no one can understand anything or care about anything because there is no line there is no truth it is just a big rhetorical soup that we all are forced to eat every day that is full of lies and garbage that's all that it is he can say oh this is inhumane this is wrong this is evil when we were saying that three years ago about trump um when when democrats Trump. When Democrats say Trump and the Republican Party is authoritarian, now they can say it
Starting point is 00:27:48 about liberals, that they're authoritarian for wanting to have trans people allowed to share the same rights that we have. That to them is authoritarian. If they just use the words that we use, then they are rendered meaningless. Yeah. yeah there's also this element of like you know just denial that group denial that they all have to participate in and to come out just sort of like unequivocally and use these words helps completely forget like what was going on when trump was in power too um because that's like oh my yeah that's it's just sort of this thing where i think the reason it's not that he thinks he's being smart. It's just a group of people, you know, like when you're in like out of college and you're still drinking a lot and you're trying to figure out, like, do I drink a lot?
Starting point is 00:28:32 And like, we all drink a lot still. But there's like, nah, nah, man, we're young, man. We're young and we're just partying. This like sort of the same sort of like, let's not think too much about it. And then Stephen Miller's going to be like, nah, nah, we're good, baby. We're partying, man. Like, this is inhumane, baby. And that allows-
Starting point is 00:28:48 Do another line. Come on, it's fine. That allows everybody else to be like, right, right. Yeah, it wasn't that bad. Yeah, this was bad. It just sort of, it helps by just putting all the focus there. It just, you know, the last thing they want is self-awareness. And it seems more than anything, they're incapable of it.
Starting point is 00:29:02 It's hard to know, like, which part Stephen Miller's on. But yes, he knows what he's doing. And he doesn't care because he's a fucking goon. I mean, yeah, but since high school, his thing has been inhumane immigration policy. He would stand up at assemblies and say racist shit against the- Saying the janitors need to speak english or something yeah exactly like that's been him that's his whole brand so i gotta feel like he's doing this like with a wink to his nazi fans like no i can say that too type thing like just yeah it's trolling it's just trolling that's what i feel like it is i know you are but what am i
Starting point is 00:29:45 right that is all the republican party is now is what you think we are you actually are right so you're wrong and we're right like that's it it's pathetic it's empty and it is the most dangerous part of their entire strategy yeah because it's a lot of energy in a direction without much like purpose but that's a thing they're but they're moving they don't want the country to change yeah they don't want it to get better they don't want to pass legislation they don't want to govern what they want to do is obstruct and demean and demoralize their enemies do you think because i mean there's no there's no real long-term plan like do you think like in a conservative's head it's like yeah man like fuck that and they'll be so pissed off and triggered that they can't get anything done
Starting point is 00:30:35 that they'll leave america and then it'll be all ours like i'm not what's the end game guys there is no end game because motherfuckers aren't leaving so there's no end game like that's where i'm like think i mean if y'all really want something like just pause for a second and think about it but i think that there is a sect of the far right that wants a civil war right right that is we know that for a fact now that they want to they want to take up arms against the federal government yeah and then there are the rank-and-file conservatives who just don't like the idea of race mingling yeah that are just kind of like casually racist like i don't really trust black people if dave and i sat down at a a Waffle House somewhere, they might be like, so, you two fellas. Are you partially...
Starting point is 00:31:27 Panama? Yeah. Haiti? I think them boys are miscegenated. And you'd be right. Yes, and then there's the people that just want low taxes, and then there is the top echelon of the Republican Party that simply wants to continue being in power yeah
Starting point is 00:31:49 and they want to continue propagating the policies that allow them to remain in power and that allow them to make as much money as possible but there's no ideological coherence or consistency there with those people with that you know the the bureaucratic class the political class uh the industrial class of the republican party right well let's talk about donald grump's tax returns we got him baby got him baby millions of pages he's done millions now we got him um yeah gee whiz mom they got his tax returns i mean you know the supreme court and many other courts had not been feeling that like trump team's legal defense which is essentially like he's president he can like what are you doing like don't leave him alone he's a
Starting point is 00:32:39 president and now that the supreme court was like, no, we're not going to block anything like Cy Vance's investigation and his subpoenas are valid. So now he's he's he has has his hands on these documents. And this is what he has. Vance got Trump's tax returns extending from January 2011 to August 2019. But there's more. He also obtained access to reams of work papers surrounding the tax returns preparation, financial statements from the Trump organization, engagement agreements, and other communications around the documents preparation. And so, you know, to Jack's point yesterday, this doesn't mean he gets his fucking wig torn off in public and we all get to pee on it. Like, you know, we think sometimes like we got him, y'all. It's just this time. It's just merely the beginnings of a very high profile financial fraud case.
Starting point is 00:33:28 And the cynical part of me doing a little back of the napkin mask says, well, based on his orange bang adjacent complexion, he may get off. But also, you know, unlike collusion or insurrection, sadly, insurrection was so right there in front of you. This may be a pretty straightforward case in that it's clear he's pulling all kinds of fucking tricks on his taxes that make Wesley Snipes look like some certified tax accountant. quoting this defense attorney who was like, this could be just another Mueller investigation where, uh, and the media is doing a lot of the same shit that they did with the Mueller investigation where they oversample prosecutors. And like,
Starting point is 00:34:13 so it makes it seem like the case is open and shut. One difference I think is that there, there is obviously a motivation among like the majority of people to make something stick to this motherfucker it's like you could compare to the capone like tax evasion case where someone's just been getting away with crimes in public uh just out of sheer corruption and the law is going to find a way to nail his ass to the wall one way or another. Could you imagine like Capone, Trump is like the Tom Hardy movie?
Starting point is 00:34:52 Right. Riddled with syphilis. That would not surprise me. Oh my God, sir. The one difference between this case and the previous two, the Russia thing and the insurrection, is those two trials took place in the Senate. Right. The United States Senate, which is packed with people who have a political reason to acquit the man.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Right. This is not that. This is different. This is like actual crime yeah this is not a political uh theater trial this is not you know a bunch of grandstanding senators going up to a podium and making a bunch of uh rhetorical points that amount to nothing just to obstruct justice or people voting strictly on party lines. This is this is a criminal trial. Yeah, that could happen.
Starting point is 00:35:51 That could take place. So I have hope that this is actually going to stick to this fucking guy. Like, you never know. This isn't his only legal liability. I mean, there are sexual assault cases that he is still very likely to have to testify or at least give some kind of statement that he was trying to duck while he was president. So, I mean, there's a lot. And we talked about it when he was going out of office. Like, there are many things.
Starting point is 00:36:20 But this is I seem to have like some information on the deliberations like on how trump's properties like how they valued them and you know to you know juice the numbers a bit to take a loss or you know whatever they got to do and the other thing is the the documents are going to help now uh potential witnesses be called because they said they needed to see the documents to be able to be like, okay, now, now,
Starting point is 00:36:49 now we know what we want to like ask these people. But before they just had ideas without the proper paper trail. Right. Whatever. And I mean, like we know of crimes they've committed. Like Ivanka Trump is, I think.
Starting point is 00:37:03 Yeah. I mean, on record as like lying about how much how many of like those uh apartments were filled she was like yeah we're like 80 percent uh you better get some of these and it was like 10 apartments had been sold through and it was like all the trump family members or something uh it's like there's no doubt that there's shady shit going on it's just the other issue is that um in most cases white collar crime is wildly under prosecution um but it like i was saying i hopefully this is a case where the motivation is there to uh
Starting point is 00:37:40 hold white collar criminal have this man crushed under the weight of the law books this isn't really adding anything new but just uh i don't know to reiterate that they tried to overthrow the government knowingly and you know anything they're saying otherwise is a cynical cover story that they know is a cynical cover story. Marjorie Taylor green, you know, she was out there claiming it was on January 6th. And the day after was claiming it was Antifa posing as Trump supporters. There was also that video of that dude who was like in his hotel room,
Starting point is 00:38:20 basically being like, we were all there. It was not Antifa. It was not BLM. It was Trump supporters that did that yesterday. I'm the first to admit it being one myself uh and he was like live streaming uh he was right there when uh the woman was shot and killed um i walked amongst all those people he added uh basically saying like give us credit for the awesome thing we just did um well now we're learning that uh that very person that dude is homies with green
Starting point is 00:38:53 like they are yeah super ties like they go to events together green repeatedly calls aguero amazing and a friend and on social media he called green one of my closest friends before she became like before she was elected to office like they go way back they're tight yeah um she's having a week you know i mean because this is on top of all the the fucking transphobic homophobic shit she was saying in the house because like the gop is like okay uh let's have her spearhead the fucking opposition to expanding the civil rights act uh to include the lgbtq community in terms of you know banning you know discrimination based on sex or gender identity it seems simple again what is the problem here i don't know who this hurts but this is what this fucking scumbag decided to say quote god created us male and female in his image.
Starting point is 00:39:47 He created us. It's on the house floor. The Equality Act that we are to vote on this week destroys God's creation. It also completely annihilates women's rights and religious freedoms. It can be handled completely different to stop discrimination without destroying women's rights, little girls' rights in sports, and religious freedom, violating everything we hold dear in God's creation. This is, again, they're using terms that liberals would use about freedom and women's rights. This is rhetorical poison.
Starting point is 00:40:20 It is injecting poison into the discourse so that it renders everything else meaningless. Like, you can't argue with this person. She's insane. But she's becoming a media superstar because there's no Trump anymore. So without Trump to be the figurehead for everything that sucks in the world, we have to get Marjorie Taylor Greene to come out here and say crazy shit every few days and then go back into her hobbit hole until we need her to spice up cable news again. male and female trust the science uh so she's taking the idea of trusting the science and claiming that that claiming that it's like but y'all don't so just shut up like but and this is in the face of you know uh representative maureen newman who you know responded and spoke about her daughter and how her daughter would be discriminated and potentially excluded from getting benefits or
Starting point is 00:41:25 any kind of help because she's trans and then so then so it was a back and forth because that poster about the two genders it was like two moves before that um after marie newman spoke about her daughter uh that's when shitface mcfascist had to come back with, quote, as mothers, we all love and support our children. But your biological son does not belong in my daughter's bathrooms, locker rooms and sports teams. This is and then so Newman hung a trans flag to be like and her her office is across the hall from MTG. So that's why she put this other shit out. But there's some it's so many fuck. There's so many lame myths like in what she's talking about like this idea that allowing trans athletes to participate hurts cisgendered women that's not
Starting point is 00:42:11 the case most cisgendered women are saying like i don't what i've never i've i'm not in an issue where i'm or i don't have an issue where i think trans women are like creating a problem for me as a competitor no this idea too like if you're going to get on this whole idea of analyzing who is participating, her idea that allowing trans women to participate hurts all women, no, this policing hurts all women because now you're assigning these things
Starting point is 00:42:41 like too manly or masculine or too good to now you know cast dispersions on an athlete and then start policing their gender based on what you know what i mean like there's it's inviting all this like bullshit in and then on top of like there's so many myths especially like because for now it seems like sports is the current battleground for our society to have a reckoning with this like binary gender construct that we have and this is where it's all like sort of coming to the forefront when really you know like there's a lot of things like a lot of the things that uh critics of uh why say critics fucking transphobic goons uh say shit like oh testosterone there's a lot of studies that show there isn't a lot of causal connection between performance and testosterone like there's a lot
Starting point is 00:43:31 of loose arguments about it but nothing that's unequivocal so this this like this whole fucking uh campaign that they're all on is just i don't know like it's just riddled with contradictions and lack of any kind of you know critical thought about what any of this is there doesn't even need to be an intellectual argument right in my opinion yeah no i mean i say this just as people no i'm not i'm not complaining about what you're saying i'm just like the discourse is is directed in the wrong place the discourse says let's have an intellectual conversation about whether or not trans women deserve to play women's sports. Or should we even have sports that are separated by the gender.
Starting point is 00:44:11 It's like don't worry about that. The point of this conversation is do trans people deserve human rights. And the answer is yes. If you have empathy. If you care about other people. If you believe in freedom and equality. The answer is yes. Yeah. If you have empathy, if you care about other people, if you believe in freedom and equality, the answer is yes. There is nothing else to say. There is no intellectual conversation that is to be had.
Starting point is 00:44:31 It is a purely emotional conversation. Right. It is a conversation about people and whether or not you care about other people. like the idea that like a trans athlete is going to be like some like the idea is some stealthy person who's not a trans person but is trying to game the system because men are better than women or some shit it's always like this weird idea you hear these people fucking talk about it and it's such bullshit their version like that goddamn movie joanna man no right exactly offensive bullshit movies and that idea of oh a guy who can't play sports is going to pretend to be a lady and he's going to be better at sports. Like, that's so homophobic and sexist and disgusting. day-to-day life is filled with discrimination vitriolic fucking hate-filled messages a constant
Starting point is 00:45:28 uncertainty about how the country views you as even human that you that on top of all that that's an edge over maybe a cisgendered athlete who doesn't have those considerations or those kinds of obstacles to overcome societally like there's just so again that's why it's your point dave it's it's not about getting hung up on like well what's what's the 100 meter time or whatever no no this is this the bill isn't about who can play sports the bill is much larger than that it speaks to a fundamental value that we need to have as people which is all people are people until proven robot right okay and that's it i it's a smart uh political strategy to use sports because sports is the thing that conservatives get real fired up about
Starting point is 00:46:14 you could trace this all back to kaepernick and how they used kaepernick as a symbol of what they didn't like about um the way we talk about race and the way we talk about policing and the way we talk about discrimination and racism. And they use sports because sports is a thing that gets those people fired up. That gets me fired up. I love sports. We all love sports on this show. All three of us do.
Starting point is 00:46:37 And so it's a passion that a lot of people share. But guess what, guys? As much as I love sports, it doesn't fucking matter compared to somebody else's rights i don't give a shit about sports that much right and the idea that it's just so it's fucked up because at the end of the day it's almost like you're saying do cults societally do we want to turn up the heat and be more suspicious of everyone to benefit everyone right that's not that's not the vibe that doesn't help anybody
Starting point is 00:47:05 you if that's the if that's the tone it's like who's this who's that what they got what the that eventually that will become worse and worse and worse and it's not gonna just be limited to one topic that's because we're saying this is like the energy we want to give to something like this when the energy should be like you know accepting that we're all people and people say well that's too kumbaya or whatever but uh being suspicious of everybody is not going to help anyone i can guarantee you that it reflects an understanding of trans rights and the humanity of trans people based on like 80s movies in which a guy wears a wig to like go to a locker room yeah to go to a locker room and it's literally joanna man yeah like that's they saw it i thought it was a real life yeah all right let's uh take a quick break and we'll be right back I've been thinking about you.
Starting point is 00:48:06 I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110.

Most of the time. of the time and we're back and speaking of our love of sports and also uh something that we were talking about before we started recording uh trading cards uh so are you guys up on the Top Shot movement? Oh, yes.
Starting point is 00:52:26 Oh, yes. What? You haven't heard of Top Shot, Miles? Oh, Miles. Get ready. Oh, no. All right. I'm in a group chat all about basketball,
Starting point is 00:52:35 and Top Shot is the number one conversation point. Yeah, me too. Yeah, so Top Shot is basically an NBA trading card style market where they create a limited number of NBA gifts that have unique blockchain signatures. And because they have that unique signature and not because of anything to do with the clip, really, they sell for a LeBron James Dunk gift sold for $208,000.
Starting point is 00:53:10 The Topshop market drove $45 million in sales in one day. I don't understand what you're saying. So you know how blockchain is like a digital thing, but there's only one of them that has the... Yes, I get that. But you're saying people are paying six figures for a GIF? Yes. That's connected to a blockchain signature. That you use what to do what with?
Starting point is 00:53:34 How do you flex with it? Like, I've seen the clip. I've watched the clip. But then you might as well have the GIF. Right. You don't have the Cremaster Cy cycle video art piece where you have to own the tapes to see the art piece this is the first time matthew barney's come up on this show i'm sure miles talks about the cream master cycle all the time but yeah okay i mean you know art i grew up
Starting point is 00:53:55 in an art house so we grew up talking shit about art um but yeah like look what i don't oh god see this is why i don't know you're you flummoxed. Yeah, because I literally, you saw before we recorded, I pulled out my old dusty binder of 90s basketball cards. That's what it's all about. Right. But the value is to just say, I own this unique GIF, full stop. Yes. But it's not a unique GIF because I looked at the GIF on Twitter. It's a GIF that's connected to the blockchain there's no value to it but neither is there value to any cryptocurrency other than like its value as a signifier of wealth like that or a signifier of value it's yeah it's not it's an attempt to
Starting point is 00:54:41 create the whole thing is an attempt to create sort of a physical materialist economy out of the digital world. It seems regressive to me. Well, it seems regressive. It seems like kind of trying to go back to the like the people who are really passionate about trying to go back to the gold standard for a long time. And it's just uh fighting the direction things were headed like i i don't i don't know we're decent what are we decentralizing you know i mean because that's the argument for these other currencies is like we're trying to decentralize our banking or whatever but in the end they're really not being decentralized because they're
Starting point is 00:55:22 traded on like three fucking exchanges but like what i'm this is how old i am is that i'm such an old person that it's not tangible so i'm like there is no value right right in a sporting car and i'm and i think i'm looking at in this sporting like sort of trading context of like what are you then you're just trading files but then i guess that also speaks to the fact that I'm at an age where I don't know that I can understand for me personally that I could see the value in that, philosophically, I guess. Well, value is not inherent.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Value is applied to things based on whether or not lots of people share the same value on any given object. Trading cards is a great example. I have a box of unopened Skybox trading card series one packs. There's value to them, but they're just pieces of paper with an image of an athlete. Right, right. You could print out a picture of Michael Jordan.
Starting point is 00:56:22 You could print that exact picture out. The cards have always been bullshit. See, at least I can hug my sneakers that I love. I can hug my... And you can wear them. They have a practical application in your life. But there are people who just collect or whatever. And I still get that too.
Starting point is 00:56:39 You're going to get it. And people don't understand sneaker collecting and things like that. But I understand. So now this is what the high stakes world of six figure gifts. And now I'm just terribly behind now. It's a hype economy and hype drives everything. And it's not just entertainment to this stuff. It's not just gifts, though.
Starting point is 00:57:00 No, it's not just. Well, it is mostly gifts the in the art world there's also uh like a for instance sorry june's nyan cat uh gif sold for 580 000 uh when it was because it was like attached to a very specific blockchain signature and so it's just yeah it's just people agreeing that this thing is going to have value uh i i'm curious and maybe zeitgang sleuths can look into how much that money is sergeancy uh for having created that gif yeah right like zero we should just pull up to whoever owns that gif and be like yo run your shit yeah well that's also it's also worth asking the question of how much money does lebron james get for a top shot right right yeah is it this i assume it's officially licensed through the national basketball players association
Starting point is 00:57:54 so there's probably some profit that these people make um on the use of their likeness just like a slush fund of like okay you get this check for the fact that we put your face on this thing and this thing and that thing right right but it's not it's not it's probably not significant money right and so it's just basically fancy ways to dress up your blockchain money kind of yeah essentially yeah you're like yeah i got i have i got my you know 20 208K in Bitcoin in a LeBron gold bar, basically. A LeBron gift gold bar, essentially. Yeah, basically. And then you just have to hope that people still care about LeBron James dunking over Giannis or something.
Starting point is 00:58:36 People care about how much energy these motherfuckers use to fucking do all this Bitcoin mining and shit. Yeah, that's one point that this article and axios is pointing out is that like especially the art world side of it which is all on this specific exchange uh that i can't remember or probably even pronounce the name of but it's like notorious for having one of the worst carbon footprints because like the reason that blockchain is is impossible to recreate like at least part of it is that you're having to like go through all these computing like all this computing power and computing energy to like create one right so like it's they they were comparing some of it to like uh what one of these things uh is the equivalent of driving a thousand kilometers in a car and one
Starting point is 00:59:28 of the artists was like yeah that's cool uh because the carbon equivalent of like that is the carbon equivalent of running my studio for a uh a full year jesus lord yeah that's like the other five minutes so oh god the two sides of that it's like yeah but also the carbon emissions off of making our gift money is true to roof okay but keep in mind there is mars we can always go to mars motherfucker we're not getting there i'll tell you that not our generation not us and not not people of our uh dollar denomination group we gotta start working harder if we want our kids yeah fuck it i started selling these sexy blockchain gifts that's why you need to get in a top shot so you can save up to get your children
Starting point is 01:00:16 actually you can't if you're willing to uh sell your children off into uh indentured servitude you can oh right yeah so just pre-sell your child into indentured servitude for a life on mars that's gonna be some real shit they're gonna say in like 70 years depends on how serious you are about getting your paper up man that's all hey you gotta bump those numbers up man those are rookie numbers you really want to be like your idol magic john, the businessman, you have to make some real moves. And speaking of the other side of a story, this story that kind of hit yesterday morning.
Starting point is 01:01:00 All right, TMZ is reporting that two of Lady Gaga's three dogs were kidnapped and her dog walker during the course of this armed robbery was shot four times. One of her dogs was, as Ana Hosnia said, was just like, not today, Satan, and just sprinted away, got away. So shout out to that. No, there's a photograph of her bodyguard walking back, found the dog, walking it back to the house. By the way, so Lady Gaga is rome working on a movie right now so the fact that her bodyguard was photographed carrying the dog back suggests that that bodyguards in la looking after the dogs essentially essentially and he you managed to you had one job my man uh yeah but so the one of the aspects of the story is lady gaga is offering five hundred thousand dollars no questions asked to whoever has her dogs which um is bananas because whoever has her dogs shot her dog walker four times yeah i i want to say
Starting point is 01:02:09 something here about this it's not funny i'm gonna say that first okay it's sad when people get shot yeah but i am going to probably make a couple jokes about it so just bear with me please anyway uh well yeah he released an email address for you to send in tips on the whereabouts of the dogs and i am just imagining all the dick pics somebody's gonna have to comb through yeah before they get to even one real clue about the whereabouts of these poor dogs. I mean, yeah, like, it's so weird that, first of all, like, Lady Gaga would, like, Democrat-style negotiating, hey, money and no questions asked if you just kind of work with us here, even though you almost killed us. So appropriate that she sang the national anthem for the Biden administration.
Starting point is 01:03:03 She sang the national anthem for the Biden administration. Hold on. What about $500,000 to find out who shot her fucking dog walker? You know what I mean? That person's in the hospital. Their life has changed forever. Oh, my God. But she's just going to be like, okay, how much do you need for me to get those French Bulldogs back? Because I can't live without Muffy and Scruff Scruff. okay how much do they how much do you need for me to get those fridge bulldogs back i mean because
Starting point is 01:03:25 i can't live without muffie and scruff scruff i'm not i'm not really blaming her because she's just trying to get her dogs back right the the dogs are something on my dog's back yeah uh and it's not going to change anything necessarily like she could still be like find this motherfucker and prosecute them but the fact that tmz is just like guys no questions asked it's all good like nobody's even or she's not even thinking about like the idea that she's devaluing the lie the life of her dog walker and also the way that this just feels like the american version of you know like oligarchies and dictatorships and other countries where people are kidnapped all the time like that you have to like constantly be
Starting point is 01:04:14 uh thinking about the fact that you know people are going to kidnap you because there's massive uh wealth inequality inequality uh like this is the American version of that. And the thing that everybody's reporting without even being like, wait, what? Is that she's just like, yeah, okay, so that's done with. Now just give me my dogs back, please. I don't know. It just feels very American to me right now. Yeah, it's like how people treat essential workers or companies that treat
Starting point is 01:04:45 essential workers. You know what I mean? This person could have died. Right. They were shot four times and all she wants is her dog's back, it seems like.
Starting point is 01:04:53 I mean, to be fair, to Lady Gaga, to Stephanie, we don't know what she's doing for the dog walker. Right. Yeah, no, we don't.
Starting point is 01:05:01 All we know is the information that's out there. Sure, we'll find out, though. Right. I hope that she's taking care of this person yes yeah it's but it's just like it's come on the police need to arrest this person for shooting another human being on the street why you have like to jack's point right like the idea that bodyguards were even adjacent and this person still got shot it's an inside job guys
Starting point is 01:05:30 that's what it is I'm going crazy there we go Shawshank Redemption had to throw the lob up just needed someone to throw it down Reddit is losing their minds but then also it's like how are you managing like I get it when you're so fucking poppin and wealthy that you can't even do normal
Starting point is 01:05:45 things but like you wouldn't you want to be like yo my dogs are so important you don't even fuck around man i bought this forest you can walk them around you know what i mean like because i'm guessing because she doesn't she doesn't live in west hollywood i'm guessing that's where the dog walker lives so she trusts the dog walker enough to take the dogs but then there's a security presence near the dog it just seems so convoluted, but then there's a security presence near the dog. It just seems so convoluted. I'm trying to understand, like, if this is the most efficient way to ensure the safety of your animals given the budgets Stephanie has. Probably not.
Starting point is 01:06:15 I mean, this goes back to the Top Shot question. How do we value things? We value a blockchain on a video or a GIF. We also value french bulldogs they're some of the most expensive dogs in the country probably in the world very hard to get very hard to take care of all that stuff so someone thought i'm gonna go out and shoot a motherfucker four times to take the dogs. I don't want the jewelry. I don't want the car. I don't want the clothes. I don't want the
Starting point is 01:06:49 Grammys or the Oscar. I want the dogs. That doesn't make sense. Why are you getting... That's so crazy to me that the dogs are valuable. The dogs are worth shooting a person. How does someone get clapped over dogs? They just saw the movie Seven Psychopaths and they were like, alright, this seems like a good plan even though the criminals in that are like like no but in the
Starting point is 01:07:10 mind of a person who's doing dirt you don't want to uh you know discharge a firearm in the commission of a crime right just you don't you don't want to put force multipliers on your sentencing if something were to happen so like i didn't it doesn't seem like do you need to shoot somebody to strong arm snatch some dogs away that's maybe it gets weird i know like that's i don't know what's going like it seems there's so many levels that just seem like aggressive or that the person knows that these are lady gaga's dogs so they got to come heavy, and then they're going to then demand another wilder ransom? Oh, they definitely knew that it was Lady Gaga's dogs. This was planned out for sure. It's so confusing, man.
Starting point is 01:07:57 I hate to be the conspiracy theory person in a time when conspiracy theories are so horribly dangerous. Right. But it's very... Shit went left on that inside job. Because you know what the bodyguard said? He said, you're supposed to stick to the script, man. What the fuck are you doing? Yeah, shooting
Starting point is 01:08:13 somebody four times. Though, maybe shooting somebody four times is the way that it makes it look like it was more of a real crime. The dog walker is okay? The dog walker is stable? Yeah, expected to fully recover so might have been i don't know we they i'm so infuriated yeah i'm like yeah exactly because part of me is like um it's it's a the crime is sloppy the security is sloppy the shot four times
