Like, I'm trying to think, well, who's the last big Scandinavian singer? I remember it was like Leaky Lee back like 14 years ago. Yeah. I know. It's crazy how old,

old that album is now. Yeah. Yeah. And I was, I remember being like, I was like, I love her voice. It's like effortless.

Anyway, we're going to get into that and plenty more. But first, we got to tell our listeners what we are going to be talking about today. Obviously, the biggest news of the day is that Twitter will now allow you to hide your blue checkmark if you feel like you're taking too many L's in public for having that so we'll get to that and then some lighter news i guess jesus christ i mean i guess we'll talk about donald trump getting indicted again fucking so many indictments the charm yeah we'll see what happens i mean there's a fourth on the way too so cool we'll talk about that yeah and then we'll uh we'll get into barbie how it's uh become one of the biggest political tools of 2023, with every side arguing it's for them or against them. It's like a Rorschach test, I guess, of a film. So we'll get into some of that and plenty more. But first, we'd like to ask our guest, which is Lola Blanc. What is something from your search history that's revealing about, you know, reveals something about who you are, what you're interested in? So I was looking at my most recent um search

results and this morning the last one was observed particle theory okay oh okay you know that and i and it's actually something i don't know that much about yet so that's why i was googling it but it's that thing in quantum physics where the particles behavior changed upon observation yes so a lot of people who a lot of people reference that as like we don't know there's so much that we don't know yet there's so much that like maybe science has no idea like there isn't evidence for it yet but there will be eventually anyway i just was very curious about that little rabbit hole yeah it's going down okay so what kind of shit are you into lola you're like you're like, hold on a minute.

Because, you know, I like the idea that just the mere observation affects these particles. Yeah. I should say, this is the most educational, smartest search that I've heard. Everybody else be up here like, oh, man, I was up here searching about, you know, how quick your toenails grow. You up here like, let's talk about quantum physics but i don't know about it yet i don't know about it yet that's it look are you is any of this due to any of the hearings about uaps and non and non-human intelligence does that intersect at all with any of this or how we're like you're into this kind of shit you're into quantum physics quantum

mechanics what what do you make of all of the ua uap shit going on i mean like i'm a science bay so like i'm just kind of waiting to see what happens like i feel like one guy saying stuff is not really enough evidence but i'm really excited to see what more comes of it because yeah open i'm on that alien shit you know like i'm really excited about the uap thing but yeah uh i'm just like i'm someone who's like trying to figure it all out all the time and figure out like what we have evidence for what we don't have evidence evidence for and i'm just trying not to buy into like the first thing that people tell me so i'm just googling what we have evidence for does that have to do with just sort of your upbringing and uh life of being just a little like not taking

people at their word when they say things are one way i think absolutely yeah yeah yeah yeah okay yeah i'm sure we'll get into that too okay this is gonna be therapy lola i can't wait but yes shout out shout out all my alien fans who are going to go to the first interstate bank, formerly first interstate bank building in Los Angeles to welcome the aliens. You know what I mean? And they put that blue light on us and then vaporize us. I'm excited. Yeah, 100%. What is something that you think is overrated?

I am going to people are going to be mad at me for this. But astrology, I think astrology is overrated. It's highly overrated. Here gonna people are gonna be mad at me for this but astrology i think astrology is overrated it's highly overrated here comes that science shit here comes that science shit of course i think that like i'm always like yeah everyone knows astrology has no evidence and isn't real and then i talk to like person after person after person after person is like what do you mean i'm a tourist and you're totally a Sagittarius although i will say that recently i read i was looking at my friend's like birthday book where it gives you your reading of your exact day of your birth and it was like 100 accurate but i was like not evidence not real evidence i mean i'm the embodiment of that evidence i'm the embodiment of that evidence. I'm the embodiment of that evidence, but not real. Literally on my page, it said, is skeptical, does not accept information without digging further.

Wow. Has a lot of different creative paths. I was like, fuck, that's like, that's actually pretty good. That's actually pretty. I mean, I get that too. I don't believe in it. But then somebody would be, somebody would hit me with some Libra shit. I'd be like, damn.

Right. How the fuck you know me man uh but also like all right people have been writing this stuff for centuries now at a certain point if i write 5 000 pages about a tourist one of them is gonna probably line up with like you know so i'm on your side even even even you can still stay skeptical you just happen to find the one page i know out of the 5 000 totally was in line with your personality and shit that you believe and stuff like that i get it it's the broken clock thing i i think it's so funny though because i'm always like i'm willing to stay open you know i'm like okay what side do you think i am what like qualities am i exuding no one ever gets never get it right and i'm a triple sag i'm a triple sag so whoa shit i'm a libra leo leo baby that's hey listen i will say this i will say this wait how do you know all that shit because i date in los angeles

that's right right that's how i know all this wait what's the wait how wait you got your you got you know you get the co-star you get the co-star shit and it's a way to flirt uh or it's a way you know people be like oh what's your co-star and i gotta text my mama at 3 a.m talking about when was i born and shit and and then you and then it lets you know like your i don't know the exact but the first one is like your birth month and then the other two are like your personalities or what you like i don't know i just go right to them things but like all right let's look at our compatibility all right all right that's funny though compatible like a friend of mine who's uh whose family's from india talking

about how you know like a lot of times times reading the charts is like step one in making fucking decisions. So it's interesting to see this kind of like emphasis for like centuries, but then be like, come on, y'all. But also that's fucking me to a fucking tee. How? Yeah, I know. Like I remember back when I was like, well, super lonely. I remember like just after college, like heartbroken trying to find like a partner. I would be on Susan Miller's astrology zone and shit. Be like, give me some answers, Susan Miller. So I know I will find her, please. And that shit just what it is, is like I get it, too, because when your confirmation bias is strong, that shit will fucking, it's gonna be hitting like the fucking God's honest truth.

We all need ways to structure our realities because the world is chaos and scary. Also, it's just fun to be like are we supposed to be together or are we a bad match? I'm sorry, I don't day geminize. I can't handle the duality

of you. Sorry. What's something you think is underrated, Lola? I just rewatched this rom-com, Something's Gotta Give, from the early 2000s. Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton. It's about older love. I think it's a classic,

and it is not considered one, and it should be. It isn't? I don't think so. No, it's always like when Harry met Sally, it's always like the Meg Ryan ones. Maybe you've got mail. Yeah, Sleepers in Seattle. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But no one talks about Something's Gotta Give. Something's Gotta Give is fucking awesome. Yeah, I agree. Nobody really talks about it until, but everybody who, but everybody who talks about it loves it. It's, it's like one of the, it's like my best friend's wedding. Like nobody ever talks about it, but like everybody who likes it

or whenever it's brought up, people are like, oh yeah, man, that's a good ass movie. Yeah. People think it's the same movie as As Good As It Gets, which is not. No.

Which is not. No. But it's a different movie. Also starring Jack Nicholson, which is not. No. Which is not. No. It's a different movie. Also starring Jack Nicholson. But I will say it was very ahead of its time. You know, you have an independent woman in her 60s who's a playwright. She's very successful in her own right. And you have the, like, playboy older man who's only dating women under 30.

Yeah. And then he's like, wait a minute. What am I doing? I should be with someone who's got her shit together and who's you know a worthy opponent anyway I love it what is your

favorite romcom or do you have one I feel like it's that one but I also really love you've got mail okay I miss I miss this era, you know? I want this era to come back. Did you guys watch the new Jennifer Lawrence one? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I thought it was... Let me tell you something about it. First of all, I thought it was very cute and very fun. But, all right, as a singer, can I ask you, and, you know, that rendition of Maneater in the middle, have you seen it, Lola? Yeah. Wait.

Okay. When he gets on the piano. He gets on the piano. He gets on the piano. And he starts singing Maneater. I turned to the person I went with in the middle of that scene. I was like, this shit is spectacular. Yeah.

That was so good. The chord progression was so good. The chord progression was really different and I liked there was some chord inversions under the vocals and I was like,

that's a new way of expressing that note from that song. Yeah. I definitely, it's funny, I had the exact same thing. I was like,

is he fucking killing it? I know. This shit is great. That kid is so good. He was such a, it's like a very charismatic so good yeah it was wild to see matthew broderick you know like because we don't see him that often and now i'm like he was just just playing that like just old liberal dad but yeah like i feel like one like that is kind of like a mash-up of more like

you know our like sort of extreme american pie type comedy with like the underpinnings of a rom-com but yeah like the sort of like what's gonna happen with my my little bookstore and the the big chain is moving in are we are we just so fucking cynical we're like nah man we need to see jennifer lawrence beat ass butt naked on the beach for us to be like yeah that that really warmed my heart i don't know no i think i think well first of all it is actually heartwarming genuinely aside from the like first half of semi-raunchiness or whatever but i feel like we all we're kind of missing that culturally we like want movies that just make us feel good and remember what it is to love and not like just

be scared all the time i don't know i think it's coming. Yeah, that makes sense. That's why I can't quit Hallmark movies on the fucking holidays. Listen, you shouldn't. Lifetime, Hallmark, baby. Them movies used to hit. I like Hallmark because they don't allow magic because then that would presume that there are forces other than Jesus Christ

that work in our world. Wow. That used to be the rule. I'll always say that. Yeah. They used to be like, they don't like say that. Yeah. They used to be like, they don't like movies that have magic as it relates to the Christmas time.

That is so funny. That will upset the Christian. But isn't that the channel that like Touched by an Angel came on and shit? Yeah. Magic if it's angel magic. Magic if it's angel magic. It's Jesus magic.

That's called Jesus magic. That's called Christ's love. Yeah. Christ's love is not magic. How dare you? Okay. Yeah, that's true. That is called Jesus magic. That's called Christ's love. Christ's love is not magic. How dare you? Okay. Yeah, that's true. That is the fuel for our salvation.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Oh, shit. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back to talk about, I don't know. We'll figure it out when we get 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. 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 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

And don't worry, we promise to avoid any black holes. Most of the time. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest.

I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible.

Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. I guess, look, all jokes aside, we should talk about Donald Trump getting indicted for a third motherfucking time. The hat trick of indictments. He's done it.

Well, I think this all relates to the, you know, overturning of the election in 2020 january 6 all that wild fun stuff and i think again for most people we saw that play out in real time like we saw him continually begin to you know ramp up the rhetoric around the stolen election we saw evidence of him you know leaning on people a fake elector scheme telling mike pence to fucking you know uh delay the certification of the election we all saw it but now we're at the point where it's been articulated in indictment and yeah it's interesting to watch basically fox news and all

the right-wing news outlets just fully melt down with what apparently they are saying the stakes are jesse waters on the Five called it political germ warfare and said, if it goes to trial, we'll have to, quote, go back and find fraud in the 2020 election. I'm sure they would love to do that because you did such a good job the first time showing that all happened. And then Greg Gutfeld on the same show, he was so out of it. He just held up like doodles.

He was just holding up doodles of like dudes in hats and i'm not sure like what that exactly the point of that was uh kat abu who's on twitter who does a lot of like monitoring of fox news segments put together just kind of like this mixtape of the reaction to the third indictment on fox news and i just want to the it's they're ramping it up. The rhetoric is getting ramped up. I'll play a little bit of it. It's very dramatic, but this is kind of how Fox News is talking about everything. The equivalent of the French guillotine.

A political war crime. A junk indictment. The shredding of our constitution. They're going full banana republic. Full third world on this. Third world banana republic going full banana republic full third world on this third world banana republic full banana republic hell yeah just so you know we've gone full banana republic oh yeah and i'm going full j crew they got the memo at the beginning of the day oh yeah all right everybody the word of the day is banana republic yeah. It's gone full third world.

And yeah, we saw Stephen Miller was saying that this was the legal equivalent of the French guillotine during the reign of terror. Oh, my God. And then we had Laura Trump come on to defend her father in law, who's just basically said, quote, he did exactly what you would want a president to do following an election. Oh, okay. Okay. Yeah okay yeah he did he did leave office yeah exactly yeah but then it was wild somebody pointed out that she was apparently on she was live on fox and newsmax at the same damn time somehow and with different outfits on and somebody on twitter is like i'm sorry who the fuck is lying about being live right now? Because there's no way you're live on Newsmax

and Fox News with different fucking outfits on. We're still not sure what happened there. But again, I think it all speaks to the chaos. Yeah.

When you have Jesus magic on your side, you can do anything that empowers you. I was going to say quantum mechanics. It's changing depending on observation.

I observed it. I affected the particles of her clothing to become something else because my vision is also. Because just to get back to that, it's sort of like the idea that even the act of looking upon something is affecting like the waves around it. Right? Yes. Yeah. That's wild. Anyway, shout out to Jesus for that.

He was talking about that in the Bible. And then Newsmax, they had Rudy Giuliani on. And my man is just, he's down bad. He sounded not as articulate as he normally does, which is not at all. But I'll just play a clip of him talking about the real indictment needs to be for Jack Smith. The strange thing here is the people lying but the people bringing this and this this count they have here conspiracy against rights they should be indicted for conspiracy against rights for bringing this indictment oh it's a

conspiracy against so so mr mayor no one okay Okay, cool. Yeah. He said that. Does he seem especially old all of a sudden? I feel like I haven't heard him talk in a while. He seems especially drunk. Drunk? In the last year and a half of that administration, he was definitely having some

wild-ass appearances where people were like, I just saw this dude drunk as fuck at the cigar bar in Manhattan, and then you would see him on Fox like two hours later saw this dude drunk as fuck at the cigar bar in Manhattan. And then they, then you would see him on Fox like two hours later. And he's like, Oh my God. Screaming. I think again,

too. He's just a fucking, he's a creep. So we all love to see him. Yeah. Yeah. He's a creep. He was drunk enough to literally as a former politician on a campaign

trail, find himself in a Borat movie oh yeah right oh my god that's like that tells you everything you need to know about rudy right there like how dumb how dumb are you seriously he's so dumb yeah so you know we have we've heard everybody we the first amendment thing that's coming up a lot. And we'll talk about that in a second. But then on Breitbart, they implied that Jack Smith would be seeking the death penalty against Trump. It says Jack Smith's charges against Trump include potential death penalty. Now, why do they say that?

There's no evidence that that's even close to what Jack Smith is pursuing. evidence that that's even close to what jack smith is pursuing but what they're pointing out is that the conspiracy against rights can result in the death penalty if quote death results from the actions covered under this provision and somebody did die on january 6th ashley bad so specifically the fact that they the fact that they are saying that the death penalty is an option is an admission of guilt to the fact that he caused it because you know he caused that shit and she did die so therefore right they will give him the death penalty and and that's what's really interesting is watching this sort of cognitive dissonance play out in such an extreme way already trump has come screaming with his

toupee in hand asking for cash donations. The email he sent this morning, quote, Patriot, with Crooked Joe's corrupt DOJ having unlawfully indicted yours truly yet again, reports indicate that I can now face a combined 561 years in prison from the left's witch hunt. 561 years in prison from the left's witch hunt that's six lifetimes there's only one message and he goes on and on it's like a long ranting thing yeah i'm looking at 561 years i'm like sir i'm not i'm rooting for every year yeah he goes on to be like he's like will you help me fight this marxist government you're like, this ain't no Marxist government. If you did, never mind. I wish it were.

Yeah, it's like, bring the Marxist aliens now solve this. But yeah, so he's begging. And the main thing we're seeing right now is the MAGA pundits are all kind of saying that this is some version of his First Amendment rights being violated. That's the sort of logic that this is some version of his First Amendment rights being violated. That's the sort of logic that they want to pursue. They're saying he was merely exercising his First Amendment rights by saying these things out loud. And now they're saying it's a crime because he didn't believe that the election was rightfully won by Joe Biden. And again, he's trying to they're trying to just create some kind of logic out of this indictment that doesn't acknowledge that Trump was doing all kinds of shit, not just shit he was saying out of his mouth, that his actions are also part of a, quote, larger conspiracy to subvert the election in the will of voters andment sort of makes that clear it's quote the purpose of the conspiracy was to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election by using knowingly false claims of election fraud to obstruct the federal government function by

which those results are collected counted and certified it's not why was he just lying all the time no he was we saw it there was a fake elector scheme there was calls to other governors it's it's not it's not something where they're there was calls to other governors it's it's not it's not something where they're like yeah it's just bad it's misinformation is all you guys are trying to fucking put him in bars it's just what he thought it's just what he thought he wasn't just expressing an opinion yeah yeah very clear you know it's very it's very i've i've been on record on this podcast many times saying that i think anybody that thinks this man is going to jail should not get their hopes up. You know, I don't think that's what any of this is about is him facing jail time.

I mean, he should face jail time, but he won't. I do think that we're seeing a very interesting thing that he is using all these indictments to just line his spot. He doesn't care about the presidency. He didn't care about the presidency the first time. It's a means to an end. For him, that's a way to stay out of jail. I can't wait for the documentaries to come out, if they will, where like, you know, and Miles, I'm sure you've heard this, too. Lola, I'm sure you've heard this. He was pissed he won the first time.

He was pissed he won. He was like, fuck, I got to do this. I think Melania cried, right? Isn't that the story from election night? They didn't want to win. They didn't think they were winning. But like, you know, it's happening all over again. to win they didn't think they were winning but like you know and this is all it's happening all over again i i think like the bigger thing that we are seeing is we and i don't know if this will happen in our lifetime maybe it will maybe gen alpha can help us out it can save us uh but we really need to we need to fix like he should not be able to run for president when you are literally under indictment after indictment after indictment right now like that's not like that what that's insane that's

insane i couldn't get a job at mcdonald's if i was under like multiple indictments and this man is running for the highest office and like we should be able to change the Supreme Court. Like, there's so much shit that needs to change with our law. It reveals, too, that, you know, the status quo is meant to be like, yeah, man, if you're kind of powerful enough, like, you're going to break some fucking laws. So why are we going to keep that from you running for president? this is all part of like why we need laws that are actually robust that protect voting rights and shit like this where it's just enshrined in law to be like well you can't even can't even begin to try and test the results of an election or at least in this such a cynical way people are so convinced that it is actually a witch hunt i mean i don't think that trump is actually convinced

it's a witch hunt i don't think his people are but i think they've convinced so many of the american people that it is how can you actually achieve any change when no one can agree on what the reality of the situation is? It's all just being like propagandized. And it's so hard to like figure out how to fix anything when we don't even agree on the truth. Yeah. You get worn down with propaganda, at least to apathy. And that's exactly what they need. And it's just clearly it's funny, too, because you're kind of seeing it on the right, where they're also like, fuck, man, like, God, what am I supposed to say about this one this time? Like, can we just pretend like we don't think it's bad and then keep moving. But there is something really interesting going on with polling are not interesting. Obviously, there are groups of people who just don't give a fuck what Trump does no matter what. But it looks like the January 6 case isn't really moving the needle that much for for independents and Republicans or even Democrats, because everyone is already so entrenched in their view of what happened, that it just feels like a rehashing a shit that it's

like, yeah, I know, like, it's like, yeah, okay, we get it. He didn't fucking steal the election. Or yeah, that motherfucker stole the election or whatever. I don't know shit that it's like yeah i know like it's like yeah okay we get it he didn't fucking steal the election or yeah that motherfucker stole the election or whatever i don't know but it looks like the documents case is actually the thing that has begun to like shift polls a little bit if like last october it said 34 of independents said that a crime had been committed in that case the latest poll it grew to 46 because i think we just see more new evidence of like hearing him on tape saying like talking about documents or learning like with new indictments that he was telling people like you know vaporize the fucking surveillance camera footage and shit like that and then for republicans since last october the percentage of republicans who said they believe that Trump had committed a crime, hand in classified documents, rose from 9 to 25. But make no mistake, when they follow up with a question about like, now, would that affect your support going into election?

They said, if the fucking election was today, I'd be fucking wearing my MAGA hat. I don't care if that happened. So it's very, very cult vibes. We always talk about that of just truly I will not. There's no information that you can show me that will change my mind because I'm all in on this perspective. and country where the elections have become very much that, you know, and we're seeing that a lot on the MAGA side, obviously. But, you know, it happens on the left as well, where it is like, you know, where we're not we we are not in a place now where we are. And it's for a lot of reasons. And I'm not blaming like us as a collective society.

I'm blaming the people who are in power that have kind of led us to this. And also just the world we live in with social media and things like that. But, you know, we're not in a place where we are actively like picking the best choices or we are actively like like debates don't mean anything or, you know, like these things don't mean as much as they used to. It is a popularity contest in many ways. And it is a I'm this person, I'm this side. And this is what we are. Bernie bros. We are MAGA. We are Clinton Knights. I don't know if they call it Clinton Knights or not, but, you know, like, you know, that's kind of where we are right now. I think there's it sucks. I think generally we're just from the conversation.

We're like missing. Like what we actually want as outcomes from our elected officials and what we want from the government, because the conversations are usually completely devoid of like sort of what what speaks to people on a human level like there's a lot of policy talk and things like that and you see people sort of like make appeals to like these sort of like populist talking points but just in general like people to each other aren't it's harder for people to say like these are the kinds of policies that would really help my life because we also have a there's such a for the perception of the government is like i don't know they do shit that helps sometimes kind of yeah so what's the point of fucking paying attention because my life really doesn't change and that's a huge chunk of people

that are really disconnected from like the ills that our current governmental system is you know raining down on people so there's a lot on people. So there's a lot. Yeah, there's a there's a lot of things to battle. It's just so hard to keep your focus on even the issues that do really matter, because it feels like there's so much on fire all the time at once. And everybody is like vying for your attention for the issue. That's like, you know, viral that week or whatever, like climate change is the most important issue to me. But do I forget about it constantly? One hundred percent, because there's so much else that's like, oh, but that's urgent.

That's urgent. That's urgent. That's urgent. I feel like it's really a hard time to be a politician who, you know, maybe does have something substantive to offer because it's just like a race for the virality or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah, we miss out.

I also think, too too because of because of that and you know this is not good either that for like some of the politicians that actually have something that they are fighting for and things like that we have become such a society where like one thing can change that which and sometimes it's a very good thing and sometimes it's just like well you know let's actually allow a person to progress and grow like as they grow and progress you know and we don't we don't do that as much as we should on like our side you know so yeah there's a culture of an expectation of purity and perfection that i think is really detrimental to organizing in general yeah i think you know there's the vote blue no

matter who crowd there's the maga crowd and you know you try and get people to understand that it's the stakes aren't just if joe biden isn't president it's everything that comes along with that that in the and the tragedies and the horrors that people are experiencing even now with joe biden as president that are societal issues that we refuse to actually grapple with so yeah until we can i mean not until but the discourse is so centered around just anything but real substantive policy. Like everyone's talking about Bidenomics right now. And I like, you know, it's like it's a three pillar thing about what Bidenomics is.

But ask any person who is not interested in policy what they if they give a fuck about Bidenomics, they're going to say fucking no. They'll say, I don't know, inflation is still fucked up. I mean, I guess it's going down like gas isn't as high, but like there's still all these other like costs of living things that are not being addressed. But we but every day they just point to things like look at the unemployment numbers. And it's such a different metric than what people's lived day to day experiences are. So, yeah, we will see where this goes again i am just like with the aliens i'm like i'll believe it when i see trump in court and he can't do his comb over you know like the way he normally does and we get to see that kind of weird hairdo that he's got going until then you know i just feel like well i'll believe it when i see it because you know there's

already debate about like is this even a strong case against him? Like, what the fuck are we doing, man? But he at the very least, not like in his documents case, the judge that is assigned to this case, it was, you know, is an Obama appointee who apparently has been going the hardest at January 6th insurrectionists. So for every judge, Eileen Cannon, there are other judges who are kind of like, you know, I'm not really here to fuck around with this case. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back to talk about blue checks and Barbies. After this, yes. I've been thinking about you.

And ever since Elon Musk made the blue verification badge a purchasable commodity, people have mostly used it to point out how sad, how loser-y somebody is for paying $8 a month to Elon to help prop up the Twitter ad business. But I guess, I don't know if the sob stories have made it to Twitter HQ because they are now, or X, whatever. Forgive me. I will never say X. I have to keep reminding

myself that it will always be Twitter. Just like there's no meta, it's just Facebook. Okay? Just like there's no crypto.com arena as the Staples Center. Just like it's not the Willis Tower, it's the Sears Tower. There you go. Exactly. Do you have any local beefs like that, Lola, where the name changed of a beloved structure and you refuse to give it a new name?

I'm with you on the Staples Center. Crypto.com arena is absolutely a no for me. I'm I'm fucking waiting every single day for that headline. It's like, hey, they can't actually fulfill their commitment for the naming rights to the thing. And they're going to have to pull out. Of course. Waiting for there's no fucking way. Crypto.com is still popping right now no no way anyway so on twitter blues uh about page

it says the company like just today like without really any fanfare if you just look they just sort of like oh hey we're doing this new thing that basically anybody any user who's paying eight dollars a month for you know the edit window for you to edit your posts or less ads or get to see more tweets, they will now be able to toggle whether or not people can see their blue check mark. You can now hide your blue check mark in your display name.

I hate it so much. I hate Elon Musk so much. Listen, man, even though that was my biggest following was on Twitter, being banned from Twitter has been the best thing that's ever happened to me. You got banned from Twitter? I did, yes. A whole other conversation.

It's dumb. It's very dumb. It's really stupid. Now I look at it and it makes me laugh like all the shit that's going on with yeah it's just like what's the point if you if you had a blue check mark and you can toggle it on and off and you're paying i can see if you're not paying for it and you can like you know if you're one of the few that has the blue check mark

you know from twitter toggle it on and off but what's the point of paying for it's just like yeah because you can't do anything if you aren't verified like i was trying to dm someone who i don't who doesn't follow me and i wasn't allowed to do that because i don't pay for the subscription oh it's like i cannot dm people who do not follow me there so there are all these these basic functions that do not work anymore on X. Yeah. Fucking Twitter. Sex videos. It feels like with the Tesla bumper stickers, right?

Where you see, I was talking about this the other day, how in LA, you know, the Tesla Y model or whatever is like the most selling vehicle, like new vehicle in California, apparently. And I see so many. You can get it for like fourteen thousand dollars with some shit yeah hey you don't need this window trim it'll blow off in the wind but i do see cars more and more that have like these like sorry i'm driving a tesla it's not because of elon it's because i like electric car like apologetic like stickers that preempt someone's criticism of them owning a Tesla. Wait, really? I've never seen this. Oh, yeah. I've seen like, I've seen at least I see like once a week almost if I look out for it. Yeah, because there's one that's one was like

bought the car before Elon became a dick was like one that I saw another was like anti Elon Tesla club. There's like a few versions, like, you know, different iterations of that sentiment. But it feels kind of like that where now I feel like Elon is probably telling the Twitters like, look, man, I know I'm trash. So if it helps you to keep giving me money, we will allow you to hide your scarlet badge, whatever we're going to call it. Honestly, it's probably smart if you're going to have done the policies that they have done. Offering that is like a useful option for people. Right. Because they're like, I can't keep getting dunked on when I reply to you, Elon. It's so fucked up. They're like, oh, wow.

Where's that eight bucks going? But yeah, this is the state of that business. It's funny because it allows people to pay for the service that they know is embarrassing, but turn it off because it's embarrassing. I'm trying to think. Was there ever something? Did you ever engage in something that you're like, man, I ain't fucking letting go of that, but I will hide it because I'm going to get fucking flamed out there for liking it. I'm trying to think of what that is. I mean, yeah, man. I got a lot of shit like that, but now I'm 36. I don give a fuck yeah same i'm like yeah i fuck with nickelback what's up yeah

yeah i watch general hospital so what so what anybody meet me in port charles i feel like the need to be cool kind of goes away once you hit 30 and you're like i like all the most embarrassing bands from the early 2000s all the alt rock guys i love them yeah i'm yarling all day i mean the way i wear my fucking crocs dirty ass crocs out i'm like i'm sorry man life's too fucking short and i just need to get something here at cvs so i will look like some kind of like vagabond from like if the world ended in 2006 but that's cool now that That's cool not to care. Throw some gibbets on them joints and you all good. Nah, I ain't doing gibbets

man. I'm an adult. I ain't doing no gibbets. Miles, do you still use Twitter? Yeah. I mean, I never really used it. Like I was never a prolific tweeter. You weren't really a prolific user. Yeah, yeah. I'm not like good at, I mean like i don't

i don't have the gift of you know you know firing off like the the fire tweet sure so really it was more just a place for me to like communicate with other people and and see like other funny people and talented people do their shit but i use it less and less because just in general i think it it's very bad for my own mental health uh like to be in a thing where like the content that i'm seeing is like bringing up like really awful shit or people being really awful about awful shit when i already know that exists and i don't need to be so vivid all the time totally and then also too like yeah it's just i that's why like threads it's kind of funny because it just feels like you're at, like, a Denny's before it opens.

It's quiet in here. It's sweet. It's sweet. They're doing their thing. Yeah, Twitter is just magnifying all the worst parts of humanity and making them seem so much bigger than they actually are. Yeah. It's not, it doesn't make a person feel good. It really doesn't.

No, but that's why I also hate this shit because why I'm, like, I hate that I'm now being like, thank you, Mark Zuckerberg, the person who could do no wrong. Like, I know, like comparatively, like, OK, you have a one up because you have a better you have a less fucked up version of Twitter. But like, let's be real. We've seen the business practices of all the other businesses. And this led to pain and suffering and fucking genocide. Totally. So it's destroyed all of our brains.

But who's going to win their fight is the most important question. I feel like we just need chat rooms. You know what I mean? That used to be the place where you could be ugly and anonymous is in an AOL chat room. That's the place where a lot of pedophilia happened.

Yeah. That also had its problems. That's what we need. I don't know. I'm a 16-year-old girl. I'm a 16-year- i'm a 16 year old boy asl yeah yeah exactly what's your asl oh you know but yeah i think it's just funny though like how we are now like we just have all of these vectors in which we can do ourselves untold amounts of

unhappiness or observe things that are going to have such a a fucking hold on like how we view ourselves or the world and yeah i can totally see like especially with stuff when like people you know when you're posting content and then you get some weird ass trolls and shit coming coming into your shit it's like that's not the experience that you just want as a human being when you're sharing your thoughts or whatever unless you're a fucking nazi in which case get fucked but anyway all that to say is that we need to move on to talk about the Barbie movie because it's the, everybody's loving it, political tool right now.

I feel like we talked briefly about how in Latin America it's being used, just sort of like the Barbie core aesthetic to sort of align itself with these larger movements. But man, there's also democrats being fucking so sad with this shit and you trying to use the popularity of the movie to like like sort of prop themselves up gavin newsom for example oh god he did a twitter thread highlighting the connections between barbie the character and his policies no he did he did not. Yes. He's like,

point A, she's a quote, climate champion. And I'm also, and also an advocate for mental health, like me. Gav, my boy. Yeah.

Yeah. That's not quite it then. How come you were like siding with all those companies to like sort of support worker rights? But anyway. Last time I checked, last time, last time I checked, yeah, gas wasn't $5 in Barbie land.

They said, what does it say? The, like the way one of us word is like number four, California is taking action to make sure that every California is supported and has access to mental health resources. Barbie is also an advocate for mental health and has been vocal about normalizing mental health struggles and why reaching out an advocate for mental health. And has been vocal about normalizing mental health struggles.

And why reaching out for help is so important. I get that. I understand that as a sentiment about normalizing. People being honest about their mental health. And like their needs and things. That's totally off. That's like the way I've moved and improved my own life. But like.

I don't even find. I'm like who is this compelling to? If you're Gavin Newsom. Who is this for? Millennial women? Mothers maybe? I'm like, who is this compelling to? If you're Gavin Newsom, you're like, yeah, like, who is this for? Who are you? Millennial women, mothers, maybe. I feel like mothers. But then wouldn't they?

I feel like I even extend. I would say they have maybe higher intelligence than to be like, well, I don't know. Gavin is Barbie. So but he's literally Barbie, though. Yeah. He's also kind of he's stereotypical Barbiebie yeah 100 with his slick back hair real piece of shit i mean this is what i'm saying people are just trying to memefy their politics and it's not interesting do something real you had like uh like patty murray the senator from washington said

this barbie wants congress to pass the pro act to protect every worker's right to organize with like okay like i don't know you could just say you could just advocate for worker rights you know explicitly all the time and not attribute that to be like this barbie john fetterman also was like getting in on the barbie action then governor gretchen whitmer of michigan they were even had like they had like a doll that kind of looked like her and they dressed her up in a fucking like pink outfit in a corvette in front of the capitol building and shit and they're just also doing this just like hey look at this barbie doing work i wish they would do this with like oppenheimer

oppenheimer we talked about that like they'd rather not talk about all the like, of course, the people displaced to actually do those tests and all the cancer clusters that popped up when the fallout blew fucking thousand miles. Anyway, and we won't even talk about what happened with that technology in the World War. But hey, all good. But yeah, so like even even in Michigan, right? The police were even trying to get in on this shit to recruit people to be brutalizers of the working poor and things like that. The Post said they had a picture of a Barbie in a cop outfit. It's from the Michigan State Police. It said, this Barbie is ready to serve the state of Michigan. of michigan when you join the msp hashtag you can be anything from a trooper to a forensic scientist a motor carrier officer to a pilot the possibilities are endless explore your future career blah blah blah people were fucking coming at that shit so hard they they deleted the shit and acted like it didn't even fucking happen wow yeah it's just this is very it's very funny i feel like it's just a bunch of adults trying to appeal to young people

and doing it really, really badly. They're like, this is what the kids like, right? There was so much hip-hop bullshit in the early 90s. Hey, everybody. The kids like the rhyming and the rapping. We don't know

what it is, and that's clear from the product we're going to push out, but we think that's what the youth them uh like and then like we're saying too like in guatemala the presidential candidate there sandra torres shared a musical tiktok video pitching herself as a barbie who wants prosperity for all so it's a very you know i guess become a potent visual although i just think it's just the most popular shit. And that's why everyone wants to talk about it. But hey, it is what it is. I fear, like, you know, next summer,

like two studios are going to try to like recreate the Barbenheimer shit, you know, like unnaturally. Because this was a natural. And I mean, look, I'm an actor. The Barbenheimer. Yeah. Shit, you know, like, unnaturally. Because this was a natural. And I mean, look, I'm an actor. I'm in entertainment. I thought it was fun. Like, it was fun to be excited about two summer blockbusters that weren't Marvel movies. Totally.

Not Marvel movies. But, like, it was fun. It was fun to, like, get into it. And I got my picture in a Barbie box, too. You know, I get, I can't post it because we can't promote struck work yeah but you know but but still you know i i i think it's been super fun but next year is probably gonna be it's gonna be so cringe so it's gonna be so awful you know because we're already seeing it now. The natural marriage of these two movies was organic. And now we're already seeing so many unorganic people trying to hone in on what was natural and popular.

And it's only going to get worse. So let's see what's coming out in July next year that they will probably try to do this. There's Despicable Me 4, Mufasa, The Lion King, which is another fucking live action I'm not going to lie, bro. I'm excited for that one.

I'm excited for that one. I'm not going to lie. Mufasa, I'm excited for that one. I'm watching it. How was the live action one? The Lion King? It was awful. I saw part of it and I was like, nah, this can't be it.

This can't be it. They're trying to do it with the new Saw movie and Paw Patrol. Oh my God, they're going to do Saw Patrol, aren't they? No. They can't do it. Oh, it's the Paw Saw movie.

Then there's Venom twisters okay the fucking follow up to the 96 smash hit twister okay i'm so i'll put a pin in that i can i was like that has a little bit of gravitational pull twisters uh then you have captain america brave new world no i'm sorry about that no so i don't know i mean like twisters with No. So, I don't know. I mean, like, Twisters with Despicable Me 4. I don't know. The thing is, I feel like it doesn't work with movies that are, like, the fourth sequel to a long existing franchise. It's just not the same thing. These were two original films.

I mean, obviously, based on Barbie and based on a person. But still, like, it's not Marvel 75. Like, it's not going to work. Right. And you get Beetlejuice 2 coming out? That'll be dope. I'm excited for that. I'm excited for that too. I'm excited for that. If they can get me Beetle Twister or something.

Beetle Twister, baby. Beetle Twist. Twist Juice. Beatsters. Nope. Beatsters. The Beatsters. juice. Beasters. Nope. Yes. Beasters. Oh, shit. The Beasters.

Well, Lola, thank you so much for joining us today on the Daily Zeitgeist. Where can people find you, follow you, see you? You got your own movie coming out. And it ain't scab work to talk about that either, right? No, it's a short film. Exactly. So it's totally independent, totally unrelated to the AMPTP. Yes.

Yeah, so I have a new short film that's doing festivals right now called Pruning, which is about a political commentator who inspires a mass shooting and has to contend with her conscience. And I'm on Instagram at Oolalola, and my website is lolablanc.com. And my podcast about cults and extreme belief is called Trust Me. Yes.
