But I gave credit to somebody who offered it later on. So my bad billy whitehouse uh i am thrilled to be joined by my 100 episode co-host mr miles gray thank you guys so much for the support in this room i just want to thank my mother i just want to first of all i want to

thank so many people i want to thank the zeitgeist uh for really getting me through some hard times on instagram live like when i was at the post office dealing with that mess uh and really i just want to say you know for aka today shout out to women it's international women's day so aka international women's day and i see the mujeres out there in madrid y'all thing, protesting. Because look, man. You know, Jack is not as woke as me. Very selfish. His ego takes over.

And all he thinks about is himself. And I'm out here doing it for the women. And also the easy likes. Sounds extra good because you said shout out to the women. And I was like, pah. That was not for women. Anyways. But y'all got that on tape.

You have that on tape, right, Nick? Yeah. Okay, so we're good. I'm good. I mean, why don't we have an International Men's Day is all I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. And we are thrilled to be joined by the hilarious and gifted Miss Katie Willard. Hi, everybody.

Hey. How are you, Katie? I'm good. I'm so excited I get to be on the 100th episode. I'm very nervous now because I feel like I've got to be the best. No, come on. You can't be nervous in that coat. Katie is rocking a fur.

She looks 100 times more confident than anybody else was ever having to see. We're actually live on Instagram right now. So this is – what do you call this cape, this coat cape? Well, it's a coat, but by fur he means like if I skinned a teddy bear bear not like actual fur right it's very smushy murder is murder yeah that's it is murder so um because this is the 100th episode we're going to do things a little bit different and uh miles and super producer anna hosnier and i are going to participate in the search histories, the underrated and overrated with Katie, as well as the myths. So without further ado, Katie, why don't you tell us something from your search history that is revealing about who you are as a human being? Oh, OK. I have a lot of searches for different products to use on platinum blonde hair.

Yeah, that makes sense. for different products to use on platinum blonde hair. Yeah, that makes sense. Because I have been blonde for a little over a year, and I'm terrified of burning all of my hair off and having it all fall off. Yeah, okay. Does that happen to platinum blondes? So producer Anna Hosnia is pointing to her hair, which does appear to be breaking off at the blonde part.

Well, yeah, when you bleach your hair, it takes all of the strength out of it pretty much. which does appear to be breaking off at the blonde part. Well, yeah, when you bleach your hair, it takes all of the strength out of it pretty much. Right, because it's a very harsh process. It's very harsh. It's like getting your roots done is so like your body is tired. Like I go and get my roots done and then I like need to take a nap because it's trauma to your scalp. Like your whole body is like, I don't know what the hell is going on so it's like that scene in malcolm x when he straightens his hair when he does that conk and he's like ah shit the hot comb yeah i mean i do a lot like everything

that the woman who does my hair everything she's told me to do every product she's told me to buy i do it because i'm like so it's an investment uh it costs me money. And may I be the first to say, worth it. Actually, probably not the first. Thank you. I like being won. Thanks. It's fun. You look great. Miles, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are as a human being?

You have this one chance until episode 200. Well, guys, so good to be here with you as a guest on the Daily Zeitgeist. All right, get to it, man. Well, God, search history. What does that mean? What is something from your search history that is revealing who you are as a human being?

So we just skip mine. I love deep diving in the Bin Laden family. So I Google search Bin Laden family members a lot. Bin Ladi family. Bin Ladi Dadi. We like to party. There are 600 different Bin Laden family members. So got to search them all.

Yeah, no, they're a huge clan. I'm up to 324. And I will continue until I die. Okay, wait. You can find out more about that on ethnically ambiguous on monday podcast uh okay i'm back to you uh the last thing i actually searched was the division 2 uh which is a video game uh by ubisoft now i don't know i don't really talk that much about video games uh i love video games uh but the division was one that like took my attention for a very long time a few years ago

when it came out because like how you rock in in sort of near post-apocalyptic New York. Also wildly problematic depictions of people in hoods, which lent itself to a whole other controversy. But again, this game is coming out, and they're teasing a new version. And I'm interested because it kind of got redundant the first time. But we'll see if this iteration of it is better. So yeah, that's indicative of who I am. I'm a man child. You are.

That is true. No, that's not true. Miles is very distinguished and – but behind the scenes. But behind the scenes, I am a – He just sips red wine and talks about – it's chestnut-y finish. So my search history is Beaumont, Lexington history. So we ended up naming our son. I have an 11-day-old at home.

Oh, my gosh. We ended up naming him Beaumont, Beau for short. And so we went in with the name John. We were going to go Normcore. My name is John. We're just going to – he's another John. But then at the last minute, I realized that – so if I named him John, my other son's name is Ramsey. We would have two-thirds of JonBenet Ramsey's name for my boys' names, and I would be forced if we had another child to name it Benet.

So we went with Beaumont. And Beaumont is actually a name of a middle school I went to in Lexington, Kentucky. And I like at the very last minute, as we were about to write the name down on the birth certificate, I got super worried that it was like named after some like civil war general or something like a confederate civil war general and like the story behind the naming of beaumont like involved a civil war general but then they were just like and then a woman looked and was like this is a beautiful hill we should call it beaumont because that means beautiful mount mount Mount. That's why I searched that. Oh, okay.

So that's what I'm up to. That's who I am. A father. So is his middle name Lexington History? Yes. Beaumont Lexington History O'Brien. Got a ring to it. Beaumont Lee O'Brien. Beau Lee.

Beau Lee. Around the office we were lobbying for many different names. Anna, at one point, you wanted to name the child Anna. Still do. Yeah. Still do. And I think, what else do we have in the thread? Adolf was one.

Adolf, yeah. Some people were actually, yeah. Oh, yeah, Jack, that was your idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was asking. Well, you were also considering Hamilton, which I strongly vetoed. Yeah, why was that? Because I felt were also considering Hamilton, which I strongly vetoed. Yeah, why was that? Because I felt like you were naming your child after a musical.

Right. That was the one problem with that name. A rap musical. I thought you were naming him after – It became super – I don't know. R&B singer Anthony Hamilton. What about Andrew Jackson? Andrew Jackson, Leo Brandt.

Andrew Jackson, Leo Brandt. Okay. Yeah, he could have been Robert E. Leo Brandt. Oh, Robert E. Yeah. See, it does have been Robert E. Leo Bryan. Oh, Robert E. Yeah. See, it does have sort of a Confederacy vibe. So that's – but as long as it's Bo, we're good. So –

Someone suggested on the live stream Anna Miles Lee O'Brien. That's cute. Yeah, we did. I like it. I like it. I think we text that to you, all of our names. Oh, okay. Anna Miles Lee Nick Stumpf of Ryan, I think was the

suggestion. Why does Nick get his full name? I don't know. Katie, what is something you think is underrated? Underrated? I was getting my nails done and Keeping Up with the Kardashians was on and it's not this last episode, but the episode before. I'm going to say

I don't know what it's called. Trimester Trouble as I wrote it down. that episode is very underrated because in it uh chloe kardashian is at the end of her first trimester of her pregnancy she had like a lot of issues with her progesterone levels so there was a chance that she was going to lose the baby so it's her like struggling with having to go to the gyne like every other day to like figure out what the hell is going on and try and save the pregnancy. And then Kourtney wants to have kids again, but it's not in a relationship. And she's talking about freezing her eggs with, you know, her mother and her family and like going through all the options and talking about the process of that. And then meanwhile, Kim Kardashian is her surrogate is pregnant. And she's talking about

how difficult it was for her in her pregnancy and why she decided to go with a surrogate and how painful it was. And that whole episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, I think, did more for visibility of pregnancy, women's privacy, gynecological issues, talked in a really conversational, non-shamey tone. And I was taken aback by it yeah um because they all had such different experiences and it was like it was also really interesting to have chloe be like because at one point tmz calls her and they're like we know you're pregnant either confirm or deny regardless we're posting that you're pregnant yeah and she was like i don't know what to do how can i ask people to just like respect? Like, I don't want to tell anybody about this right now. And she goes, and I never understood why women wouldn't just say that they're pregnant when everybody knows that they're pregnant. She goes, I get it now because I almost lost my baby. Right. And if you tell everybody and then you lose her like that just adds a whole level of just like pain and suffering. And I was just sitting in the thing in my little chair getting my nails done. And I was like, this is really I'm happy that this is on the Kardashians are like groundbreaking television.

I mean, I was I was those were all topics, especially all in one episode that like I thought were really interesting. And I was like, I should probably pay a little more attention because people will be studying. I get a lot of heat for this sometimes for saying that I always kind of found the Kardashians so groundbreaking is because they're an Armenian family and there was actual brown women being represented on TV. And I understand their reputation is terrible. But to me, that was like, this is cool. And I grew up watching it with my mom because we were like, look at these like flashy Armenian women like doing like doing their thing living their lives and it was pretty cool to me and i always thought it was a interesting show when it came to representation on that level it was yeah and they're all geniuses and people who disagree you should just go and become billionaires yourself i'm the same way i'm like i i you know a

lot of people have a lot of hate for the kardashians but i was like i don't know they're like working and doing their shit and they've made, built a brand and they're all. Can't hate money. Yeah. I mean, they read the zeitgeist better than anybody. So they are our official, the patron saint of the daily zeitgeist. Do you think they'll run out of good ideas? Eventually, like, you know.

But they'll have so much money it won't matter. Right, right, right. They can live the rest of their life but you see it as like they're they they've they found a moment and they're able to extract as much out of it as they can or do you see this being like a fucking i could see it being almost a dynasty like uh they are the royal family of america because you know the child of kanye west and kim kardashian that child is going to be interesting one way or another. That's true.

Miles, what is something you believe is underrated? Something I believe is underrated is the movie Orange County. And I have to tell you something. People don't talk about this movie as much as I feel they should. This is a fucking deep cut. And I know people want me to come with something deeper than that. But I was really thinking of something that I catch a lot of people who have never seen Orange County. Right.

It's not the greatest film ever made. But one of the great Jack Black roles that people don't talk about. It was like Jack Black right as he was sort of becoming a household name, right? Yeah. It's Colin Hanks. Colin Hanks. Peak Colin Hanks. Great Colin Hanks performance.

Peak Hanks. John Lithgow. Peak Colin Hanks. Great Colin Hanks performance. Peak Hanks. John Lithgow. Catherine O'Hara. It's got a lot of good people in it. And I think I liked it because at the time when it came out, I was just applying for college. And it was about trying to get into college and the pressure of kids trying to get into college. But also, Jack Black's just a scumbag in it. And I just love his character, Lance.

But also, Jack Black is just a scumbag in it and I just love his character Lance. And I make so many references to that movie with my friends that a lot of times when I interact with normal people, I just sound crazy. So I just want to explain a lot of those are from Orange County. Yeah. Yeah, and it's Colin Hanks in a role that – like people don't remember that Tom Hanks started out in these roles in these zany teen-ish young man comedies. Like Forrest Gump. Right, exactly. Where he plays a zany young teen who's just running and hooking up with chicks in their dorms.

What a weird scene that is. Anna, what is something you think is underrated? Oh, man. This is really going to cause some issues. Being a strong woman who stands up for something that is bothering her, whether it's in the workplace or in your life. Being the woman who is quote unquote shrieking is underrated because you know what? Sometimes you got to do it. Yeah.

Sorry to say it fuck yeah can you give an example of like when you've had to do that or who you're i do it every day in this office yeah you guys get a lot of sass from me but that's because i was raised um constantly being told that i needed to be quiet because i come from a immigrant family and women don't really speak up and that made me so heated but now I speak up about everything and I've grown past the whole, you should be ashamed for acting crazy thing. Now I'll go. Even though I tell you that every day, every day I say. This office is a wild ride every day.

It is a lot of fun and it keeps us on our toes. I'm crazy. It is a lot of fun and it keeps us on our toes. I'm crazy. We will get to Miles' list of problematic statements. I also have a list of – Later on. Anyway, yeah, that will be for the third episode. Episode 200, yeah.

So Minderated is sort of unfashionable progress and like bureaucratic bullshit. Like I was noticing on my drive into work the other day that I could see these snow capped mountains, which I had not never seen really before. I didn't even know they were there. I had seen like pictures of L.A. on a clear day. But, you know, they're just right there. right there and you know when you read stories about la in the 80s and 90s like there were days when you couldn't go outside uh like people like you wouldn't be allowed to take your kid outside because the air was so bad and the way this change came about is super fucking lame it's priuses and like you know like just people being like yeah i'm like super into the environment and right shit like that and uh you know like things that aren't

cool but actually work and bring about progress i think is sort of underrated and you know there's other stuff like uh globalist has become sort of a insult but you know global trade has made war we talked in an episode earlier this week about how global trade has made it less uh enticing for people to start wars and you know we've grown up in a time when uh a much smaller percentage of the globe than at any point in history has had to go to war. So, yeah, there are all sorts of things that we see as lame that have actually brought about quite a few good things. But you drive a Hummer. I do.

Yeah. Yeah. And it's diesel, but not in like the good diesel way. It's got like black smoke billowing out of like a stovepipe thing. That's called rolling coal, baby. Right, right. Yeah. Katie, what is something you think is overrated?

I think removing your body hair is overrated. As just anybody, but primarily women on National Women's Day. Let's talk about this. I don't know. Like I've always hated shaving my legs, but I always felt like I had to do it. And I got to a point probably in like around Thanksgiving where I was like, I don't want to do that. Like, why am I still doing this?

And I offer to women, I don't think, I think you should do whatever you want with your body, whatever makes you feel good and happy and comfortable. Like my mom likes to shave her legs because she likes the way it feels. My hairdresser shaves her armpits because she's like, I got my armpits in people's faces all day. Whatever. So I say do whatever makes you happy.

But honestly, if you have always been annoyed by shaving your legs and you hate doing it and you wonder why you're doing it, just stop doing it and see what happens. Because honestly, once your hair grows out a little bit, it's soft. And then you just put moisturizer on and dudes have said that they don't even notice yeah because honestly it doesn't matter right i think it's like a weird like when in middle school like when the girls in my class would start shaving their legs and i remember other girls would be like oh your legs are spiky or whatever and like that whole the idea of having spiky legs was born out of childhood and then as i got older i was like i don't give a shit also i fuck with armpit hair i like you got armpit hair pull the sleeves up leave this all in all this transitional stuff oh shit i hit the mic sorry

yeah i got yeah there you go see i don't know why people are tripping about shit like that. Just, like, wash your body. Yeah. And you'll be fine. Like, I don't know. Like, it honestly hasn't. Even women's armpit hair looks better than men's armpit hair. It looks more stylish.

Yeah, like, I was like, damn. Did you have yours braided with, like, a bead on it? Yeah, a little bead. A little dangly bead. A little clip. Like it went on vacation to Jamaica? It's just very weird because like i always i don't i think just in the back of my mind i always had this this um old thought that if i were to be

harry that no guy would ever want to be with me which is not a true and if there is a guy who's like oh this is gross i'm like well i don't want to be it'll only deter the men who you probably right it's a good it's a good like, uh, turn away sign. Yeah, if you're not into this, you need to get the fuck out of my face. I also really dig, like, it's very funny to me being, having, like, platinum blonde hair and something that is inherently feminine, and then also rocking this, like,

really dark pit hair. I, like, for me, I'm like, oh, this, I find this really hot. Like, I'm like, I'm into myself like this. Yeah. Nice. So, I would just, any woman who's curious, try, and if you like Like, I'm like, I'm into myself like this. Yeah. So I would just, any woman who's curious, try. And if you like being shaved better,

like do what you got to do. Like what makes you happy? I think what, yeah, that's what you're saying is like, if it feels annoying to you to do it over and over again, then why endure that? Right.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. That's why I don't bathe. My shower, my showers are a lot faster. I keep my little mustache. Got a mustache.

I have little, long little hairs right here. I have like a catfish. keep my little mustache. Got a mustache. I have little long little hairs right here. I have like a catfish. Got a little mustache. Keep it all fresh. Little mustache. Keep it all fresh. Miles, what's something that you believe to be overrated?

Oh, man. Overrated? My parents' divorce. There we go. I don't know. Some of y'all know, and I've been saying this around the office. March 7, 2001 was the day my parents split up. That was yesterday.

And I told Jack I want to do a deep dive the whole episode yesterday about the moment my dad came to my track meet. He never come to my track meets. And he's like, let's go get some lunch. I'm like, what is going on? We pull over at Amelia Earhart Park in North Hollywood. Break Your Neck by Busta Rhymes is playing on the radio. And he's like, let's go for a walk. And then he's like, it ain't working out with me, your mom.

I always thought that was awesome. And you're saying it's overrated? It's overrated. Let me tell you why. Because at first I cried and I didn't go to school the next day. Oh, man. You know what? Maybe it's underrated.

Cause then I was thinking about my own commitment issues and my sort of nihilistic attitude towards marriage. No, it's fine. I'm good now. No, you know, honestly,

I think all jokes aside, I'm fine. So that's all that. And I have not carried any of that with me. So it's overrated. And you know what? You know, there was a great benefit. Maybe it's underrated because it forced me very early on to look at my parents as just two adults.

Yeah. Who are not like Disney characters who are like, but the prince and the princess are supposed to be together no matter what. And then I had to be like, yo, my parents are just two adults who got their own fucking life. And it reminded me that you really do have to be true to yourself and be happy. So I think maybe overrating the sense of how a lot of people can – I know when you're younger, it can have a pretty good tremendous effect on you. And even when you're older, it can too. But I think I found a way that it made me a better person.

My parents got divorced when I was two. Oh, wow. I think she wins. Yeah, okay. No, but my dad came to stay with us for like two weeks when I was probably 11. And I got a taste of what it would have been like had they stayed married. And I was so grateful that they got, that they were divorced. Because they don't hate each other. They just were not well-suited to be together in that way. And I'm so grateful that they did what they did when they did because I think like – They're better off.

And I think I would be way more fucked up if they had stayed together. Yeah, you're in a house where your parents are fighting all the time. Yeah, and like now they're much happier people. So I don't even know why I said overrated. I think I was just doing that because I was hounding, I was doing a bit this whole like last week and being like you know March 7th. This last month. Okay. I brought this up almost every day.

But that's why I'm saying it's overrated because I'm over that shit. Okay? Until next year when we redo the March 7th show. The fucking divorce special. Walk all the way through it. Yeah. Anna, what is something you think is overrated? I'll wait for this one.'t know what is something you think is overrated oh wait for this one you know what i'm gonna go ahead and say the overrated thing is having a

dot-com domain yes because you came with uh you got a new domain yeah you got a new domain what is it i don't know if you guys know this but i produce a bachelor podcast oh yeah what's it called that it's called will you accept this road and who's the host of by arden marine and aaron foley and what network is it on oh it's not on this now all right never mind never mind okay but anyway you can now find our website at rose podcast dot vodka so you got dot vodka which i would argue is they did you a favor yeah you can you will remember just as a website rose Rose podcast dot vodka. Yeah, that is for anything. Awesome. We need to do that.

Guys, that vodka. No, we now there's there's so many domains out there that you can do a dot. Basically, whatever. Any word. Pretty wild. There was even not Republicans, right? Yes. Dot Republicans.

Dot Republicans. Horny dot Republicans. Horny dot Republicans. Available. Dope. All right. We are running over so we're going to take a quick break and then we'll come back with uh my overrated and myths for everyone 100

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. 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 doing. They're just dreams. And I'm Amber Ruffin, a better Lacey Lamar. Boo. Okay, everybody, we have exciting news to share. We're back with season two of the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network. You thought you had fun last season? Well, you were right.

Our podcast, Hungry for History, is back. Season two. Season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? Okay. And this season, we're taking an even bigger bite

out of the most delicious food and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these, we thank Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.?

I didn't realize how old the hot dog was. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Lucha Libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this. Lucha Libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment. Lucha Libre is a type of storytelling. It's a dance. It's tradition. It's culture. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask, a 12-episode podcast in both English and Spanish about the history and cultural richness of Lucha Libre.

Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of my Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. And we're back. And so my overrated is just basically the idea that we as individuals are original or that our ideas are unique. This is partially why I'm obsessed with the idea of the zeitgeist. But the way ideas travel, like my favorite example of this is Dennis the Menace, the cartoon character, was invented on the same day, published on the same day, both in America and the UK, like in the 1940s.

It was just two separate people had the idea for a rascally kid character named Dennis the Menace on the same day. Wait, really? Yeah. Wow. And it's because, like, there are just these ideas that are out there that are, like, traveling through groups and groups of people and that's why i think it's interesting to pay attention to the zeitgeist but i also as somebody who has like run a website and you know worked in the creative industry i think um you know i've had people reach out to me and be like well you stole my idea because but you did right well i always feel like you said yeah uh but uh no and it's it's like very vague stuff. Like you wrote a piece of satire as a celebrity, and I was writing pieces of satire as a celebrity before. And another thing that, you know, I have always said the best piece of creative advice I've ever heard is like just give it away.

Like give your talent away. Don't like be stingy with it and sort of possessive of it. And I think that's true about like ideas too don't think that like okay i have this good idea and i'm can't let anybody have it because chances are a lot of people have had similar ideas and oh yeah get it out there do something with it i mean especially true with comedy man yeah like people be thinking the most top level idea is like they own like oh you dressed up donald trump as a clown right well i referred you to my twitter nine years ago it's

right yeah yeah yeah and twitter is a great place to see this misconception uh where people are like just to clarify this is when you're at crack dotvodka. Crack.vodka. Crack.vodka. Crack.vodka. Crack.pipe. All right. We're trying to take a sample of what people are thinking and talking about right now or, you know, over the past hundred episodes of this podcast, as the case may be. And, Katie, we like to open up by talking about a myth, and we're going to ask you, what is your myth? What's something people believe to be true uh that you know to be false uh the myth that if you are not good at math when you first learn math that you're just never going to be good at math now i believed that and i was not good at math when i was a kid and i was just like i'm not a math person for my whole life

and still to this day i believe i'm not a a master. Because the system played you, my brother. Yep. For me, it was just I had a hard time understanding the concepts in a vacuum. Now I know that going back. But as a child, I just was like, I can't. None of this is sticking. And I remember learning my multiplication tables with my mom and we had flashcards and I just like she just do them and I couldn't retain any information and we would cry and like it's so frustrating. she'd just do them and I couldn't retain any information and we would cry and like it's so frustrating and then my uh third and fourth grade teacher miss Blum was like well Katie's rhythmic because I was a competitive dancer as a child and she was like maybe you put them to music like try

putting them along to like a melody of a song and I did my eights to row row row your boat and had them memorized in 15 minutes um so and I did my sevens to a, Row, Row Your Boat and had them memorized in 15 minutes. So – and I did my sevens to a song by Sister Hazel, which we'll let you know when I was in elementary school. And from that point on, I kind of knew just in terms of education like, oh, I need to approach it differently. Like I'm not going to be able to do it the way everybody else does it. So let's find a way to do it. And I also had really bad test anxiety. So like I knew I had to do really well with homework and in the class and class participation, whatever, to offset the fail I would probably get on the test. But a couple of years ago, I like started writing myself financially, doing a lot of research and about getting out of debt and like money management and that sort of thing. And I realized I really liked money math. Like I found that really

interesting. And so I thought, well, maybe I should maybe try going to school to be an accountant. And so I went to L.A. City and started the certified program. And the first class I had was business math. And I just because I had context now, because the word problems made sense to me, because I understood why price by volume for goods actually makes sense in my head now. Like when I buy a toothpaste and I know that there's more in one toothpaste and even though it's more expensive by volume, it's more – like I could understand it. You had a price, right. Yeah. though it's more expensive by volume it's more like i could understand it right yeah and i remember walking out of that that class right before the final and the professor was like you know how are you feeling and i was like oh i'm you know good i think i'm a little nervous for the final whatever and he was like you have nothing to worry about you're good at math and this was me as like a 25

26 year old person but i was like wow i never thought that i would be considered good at math and now i feel very comfortable but it's all about finding why you want to do it right like yeah why is being better at math important to you what is the part area of your life that it would help you and for most who are in creative places it's like finances yeah yeah but if you have context and you have a reason that you need to learn it it's easier i think to like absorb the information and actually use it practically just going through the academia machine and just being like i guess i have to learn it but yeah and now i like doing algebra problems for fun oh okay it's like my sudoku is it really yeah do some quadratic equations solve solve for. Yeah, we had a math

teacher who wrote for us back at Cracked, and that was one of his big frustrations, is people who believed they weren't good at math because they just had never had a good teacher or, you know, it's not innate talent. It is a... Learn skill, yeah. There are some people who are

talented, but, like, anybody can learn to be good at math. That's a great myth, Katie. Thank you. Miles, what's your myth? My myth is that, God, in the context of your lifeate yourself from letting other people's ideas about you validate your existence or change your behavior of how you do something. Clearly, if you're doing something self-destructive, yes, their opinions might not matter, but they may be trying to help. But I think – I guess with a lot of people – I was hanging out with a lot of creative people over the weekend.

And a lot of people do this thing of like self-editing in their head before they can even put an idea out there in the world of just going like ah that's shit forget it and then go into a state of like frustration and i think what the the most important thing i've ever learned i think just from like playing in bands or doing comedy or this show even is that what the best version of something is just whatever is authentic to you and the audience will find you because you were being authentic uh and it's like man shit when i was in a band we used to have fights over shit like oh the people aren't gonna like this or like this type of music is fucking popular that doesn't fucking matter you know what i mean because if you're just doing if you're making real art that's like true truthful sort of self-expression there's

an x factor to that that is magnetic that people are drawn to. So I think to create things in service of other people's opinions or things like that is bullshit. Just fucking do your thing, swag it out, grow your armpit hair, and do whatever the fuck you want because at the end of the day, that's attractive to people. That's interesting to people rather than someone who's like, oh, I make pop music or I can do art by numbers or whatever.

Nah, just do whatever the fuck you do. And that's tight. Well, it was Quincy Jones' quote that God leaves the room whenever people start thinking about money. Yeah, exactly. Start doing things for money or start – and I think that extends to just like thinking about trying to be too calculating about like your art. Yeah. Rather than just doing the art. And also like you have to free yourself from this idea of failure of like you'll miss your boat or, oh, shit, that was the moment when everything was going to change.

That's not true because you will create all kinds of opportunities for yourself along the road. So just be free and live free and breezy, easy breezy, beautiful cover girl. I've always said, you know, free your mind and the rest will follow. Be colorblind. Don't be so shallow. Don't, don't, don't, don't. Okay. Sorry.

That was bad. Precious. Wrote a song about it? Like, here it goes. That, well, where were we? It was like Calgary. I wear tight clothes. Sorry.

Go ahead. I think it was Calgary Comic Expo or whatever. And there was an interview with Stan Lee and some guy, you know, during the Q&A was like, I'm having a really hard time getting through this block in my writing and I just want to know if there's any advice you would have for somebody like me. And Stan Lee was like, writing is your job. Write. He's like, I would get up and write. He demystified it.

He was like, I just did it. And that's when you do things. You just do it is you just do them and then you figure it out. But so I think so many people, the self-edit and that's like tying into what I was saying about finances is like I also believe that the starving artist trope is like such bullshit. It doesn't make you a better creative. It makes you a scared. It makes you myopic and a little bit. Small, tiny, small world. Yeah.

And you allow yourself very little freedom because you've boxed yourself in. And there's something about America and U.S. culture that lends itself to that. Like this whole thing where, you know, great writers will have one really huge novel and then not be able to write another novel for the rest of their career like having with jd salinger and truman capote and uh harper lee like the that doesn't happen in the uk like in the uk people just like are like yeah it's a job and they just like crank shit out you know and like sometimes their follow-up work isn't as good as their first thing but like they like that that whole sort of self-edit writer's block thing seems to be a bigger problem over here than it is in other places well yeah we're so we're so win obsessed in the

yeah maybe that's like achievement is like paramount to everything else and failure is always laughed at you're always flamed in the media like ha ha ha ha like you know i mean and we do it here too like for example even like with fergie with the national anthem she became a thing it was like ha ha you took a risk and you fucked up right you know what i mean and sure we were having fun with it too uh but i thought she's a genius yeah but at the end of the day she's doing her thing and then we all said that too you're doing your thing do whatever the fuck you want to do but we have a culture where it's like, oh, you fucked up. Ha ha ha.

That makes it very daunting for someone to be open to making mistakes. Yeah, someone who's not famous to be like, oh my god, why would I ever? I don't have the trappings. I don't have the fame. I don't have anything yet. Like, man, having someone do that to me now would kill me. So free yourself from that because at the end of the day, like, you know, ideas are like a faucet, man. You got to turn that shit on.

And maybe in the beginning, the first couple are shitty but in that pipe somewhere the good ones are going to come out right but if that if if the flow is not on the shit will never come out and you're playing yourself you miss a hundred percent of the shots you don't take boom thank you uh wayne gretzky said that anna what is something um my myth is kind of a extension of miles is the myth is that people know what they're doing and i just want to say that no one knows what they're doing especially here on this show we're all just out here like any from my experience from working as a freelancer to now working at this job full-time like no one knows what they're doing. We're all just every day. We show up to work. We put on a face.

Say, yeah, got that email. Send that email back. Go home. Chill. No one knows what you're doing. So don't ever be terrified to go for an interview. Go get a job. Do your thing.

Don't be scared of anyone because we're all out here walking into walls and then correcting. And that's how we survive. And that's that. Nobody's perfect. Yeah. Except Nick Stumpf. Right. Nick Stumpf.

Nick Stumpf is literally the only person who knows what he's doing. And even then, I don't think he knows what he's doing. I know. It's scary. It's scary. And he's the man in charge of all of our effects. But he makes it look like he does? Yeah.

Like if I do something like this. 100 episodes. Yeah. And I just created this for him. And now he has to mark that down. And he's going to edit that later. But that's how this works. And I just created this for him. And now he has to mark that down, and he's going to edit that later. But that's how this works. And now –

He just said fucking my – And from now on, I will sound like a chipmunk. All right. And go. Jack, what is your myth? Mine's very simple. I was just reminded of this because of the West Virginia teacher strike. But they were offered a 1% raise.

And that sounds like something. Like, well, at least they're getting a raise of some sort. But inflation on average is 2% to 3% every year. So if you're getting less than a 2% to 3% raise, actually your pay is being docked, essentially. So don't settle for anything less than that. You, you gotta keep pace with inflation.

Hey Jack, can I talk to you about a raise? Yes. Uh, look, I'm trying to make like 400,000 a month. Okay. You don't talk.

Oh, you make that. Oh, yo, for real. Cool. Uh, so,

uh, all right. I knew, I knew someone was up cause your laptop got diamonds encrusted all over it suddenly. Was it my Tesla? Yeah. Was it my Tesla or my driver? All right. Now we're on, bro.

Come on. One thing. Hold on. What do you want to talk about? Did you see the shirt on Twitter moments yesterday? That was the podcast co-host shirt. Yeah. Oh, it's like the improv pants.

Does anyone remember that? What was the... No. And everyone was like tweeting us about it. It was like a woman's sleeveless blouse kind of thing. Yeah, it was just a blouse. And it's called the podcast co-host shirt. Yeah, no one knows why.

What? A couple of years ago, it happened with some online clothing retailer, and I can't remember who it was was but they posted this pair of like skinny legged really high-waisted jeans that had like a bunch of buttons up the front and it was like improv class jeans and i and it was so bizarre and i was like first of all those jeans are ugly like who's gonna wear them also who's gonna wear them to improv you can't move right you know those then those jeans um yeah so i don't know i think sometimes they just like come up with a they use like a word generator oh really i had to come up with oh that's the titles for things because how else

would that like oh what's a popular word podcast yeah i mean i guess it's just funny because by doing that you're gonna create outrage by how you're just labeling the thing like because imagine if one was like the douchey bro shirt that everyone's like, oh, this actually, it would be different than blah, blah, blah. Is that the shirt? Yeah. Man, what podcast? Do they know how people dress when they're on podcasts? I look at that boss and I'm like, that's not

every podcast I've done. No one has dressed in anything like that. We are all literally in sweatpants. Yeah. Or some version of it. But I'm wearing my fuzzy of a long sweatsuit but i'm wearing my fuzzy coat over my sweatsuit yeah okay sorry so with this being our 100th episode we just want to kind of take a reflection of where we are in the zeitgeist today and where we started uh miles you came in uh for your first sort of dry run episode of the show. Test drive. The Monday after Charlottesville.

Yeah. So I don't know. It's amazing what we've been able to do since then. I feel like our country's in such a better place than it was in Charlottesville, completely due to the success of the Daily Zeitgeist. I mean, look, let's run down the list, right? Charlottesville, racism has been completely eliminated. Okay, North Korea is now negotiating with South Korea.

Right. Okay, about peace. Toxic masculinity and the patriarchy has been completely toppled. It's National Women's Day. God bless. So look. International Women's Day. Did we cause all these things that have not happened?

Yes. I think there's an element of credit we can take for that. Yes. But I don't know. It's weird. It's weird. It's crazy to think that just from Augustust to now the shifts in the kinds of conversations we have as society are trending towards better yeah i don't know do we thank someone else who we don't name on thursdays i

don't know but either way that's right it is trump free thursday trump free thursday Trump-free Thursday. Ooh, yeah. Trump-free Thursday. Yeah. Shannon Coffey with that exclusive lick. So with all of that being said, let's get into some super depressing news about the NYPD, America's greatest police force. God, we were riding such a high, weren't we, Jack? We were. Then we had to start talking about fucking real shit. Real shit.

Riding such a high, weren't we, Jack? We were. Then we had to start talking about fucking real shit. Real shit. There is, you know, New York crime is at an all-time low. A lot of people have given various explanations for that. One of them being just like an expansion of the police force. Unfortunately, the police force does not seem to be doing a very good job of policing itself because BuzzFeed has

released a report and there are just all sorts of cops doing just crazy corrupt things and getting to keep their job. They have 319 examples in particular of NYPD cops who got away with one threatened to kill someone, one sexually harassed and inappropriately touched a fellow officer. Fifty employees lied on official reports under oath or during internal affairs investigations. Some of them got pulled over for drunk driving and just like got it disappeared, essentially. disappeared essentially. And disciplinary action is just not taken because, you know, there is the district attorney relies on cops to arrest and collect evidence and testify in criminal cases. And so there's sort of that symbiotic relationship or whatever the opposite of symbiotic is. And also just bizarre loopholes too.

Yeah. Like with that case, I think what last fall were like two undercover detectives rolled up on that woman and then they like they raped her in a van. Yeah, girl. She was I think underage. Oh, I think. Yeah. 18 year old.

Yeah, she was 18. Yeah. High year old. Yeah, she was 18. Yeah. High school student. She was like, I think, in a car smoking weed with two of her friends. The cops came up and were like, we're going to let you go to the guys handcuffed her and just drove around Brooklyn, you know, sexually assaulting her in the back of a van and then just let her go. And we're like, yeah, don't tell anybody. She immediately went to the emergency room with her mom, got a rape kit, and it got like released over the transom that she was saying that two cops sexually assaulted her and nine cops showed up and started like intimidating her and her mom. Yeah. Like being like the DNA matched, by the way. Oh, yeah.

Exactly. Completely matched. And what the crazy thing is, there's this loophole where it basically doesn't prohibit police officers from engaging in sexual activity with someone they've arrested. Right. And it's not that it allows for it, but the language in the law, it leaves out police. So it's created this loophole where it's like that's not necessarily a fireable offense and the thing is is like when people go like we'll go

through the proper channels it's like she literally did she went right to the hospital got a rape kit which is incredibly invasive as an 18 year old girl the dna match and it still doesn't fucking and then cops come to harass you while you're there right like so the cops were these cops were immediately fired but then you know she's basically having to take them to court and uh they uh people investigating this after the fact uncovered about a thousand examples of officers who lost their badges in a six-year period for rape or other sexual assault, sex crimes that included possession of child pornography, all of these different things. But it was basically, they claimed they were having

consensual but prohibited on-duty intercourse. And that's what these two cops are claiming, that it was consensual, that while they had her handcuffed in the back of their van uh the sex was consensual and uh that is not explicitly prohibited under new york law uh so yeah that i don't know yeah it seems like it's easily you know erased too or the you know a lot of people don't actually get kicked off the job for like explicitly saying like, oh, you sexually assaulted somebody that was in your custody or something. It would just be like, hey, why don't you – Take a break. Yeah, it's like official misconduct or something like that and you can sort of obscure the charges. And it's just – it's a problem because we already have a problem with police officers sort of doing whatever the fuck they want in general, whether it's using force or abusing people that are in their custody.

But what, New York and Delaware and California are like the few states that actually have laws that shield misconduct, police misconduct records from going to the public. Right. So we have a sort of a, what is it, an accountability problem with the police if we haven't noticed. That was the thing that was so upsetting to me. It's like the reason that whole thing exists, which is that they're able to just be put on leave or whatever. It's like if they made a honest to goodness grave mistake in the line of danger, it's whatever administrative action happens. But it doesn't get out to the public. So people don't trust like the rule in it of itself when it was created is not a bad thing because everybody makes mistakes.

But it's being so terribly exploited that it's yeah, it just makes me mad. Yeah, there's something that's always really bothered me about any sort of police of any city. Is that that fraternity vibe that they have that it's like you are loyal to your fellow policemen and that you keep the secrets and you you lie if you have to and that is one of the worst things ever like you are not loyal to someone who is doing something incredibly evil like raping a girl like those cops who came to intimidate her like you should not be loyal to those people you are not the homie and that loyalty and that fraternity like vibe is destroying like the system right yeah it discourages people from standing up for what's right because then you'll just be ostracized or whatever it makes people feel i can't trust the police right and that's

that and so it's like what do you how do you think people are going to react if that's how we see you acting then it's like okay well i know they're supposed to be here. They're supposed to be the law. But I can't trust that they will respect the law within their own system. Right. In order to protect each other, which is. And look, but we're seeing that at every level now, even at the highest level of government of the group line. Yeah. And just one other disturbing statistic is that 158 law enforcement officers were charged since 2006 with sexual assault, sexual battery or unlawful sexual conduct with a detainee and 26 had been acquitted or had charges dropped based on the consent defense. So this has been successfully used by cops saying, yes, I had them handcuffed in my car and had sex with them, but that was consensual.

They were cool with it. So, yeah, I don't know. I guess we haven't solved all the problems with the Daily Zeitgeist quite yet. But check back with us episode 200. Episode 200. We'll have that shit looked. All right. With that, we will 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. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours.

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits.

Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? Okay. And this season, we're taking in a bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico.

So all of these... We have, we think, Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old the hot dog was.

And we're back. It doesn't. I thought you could put minoxidil on your face. It doesn't work like that. Yeah, no. Still pretty patchy, bro. Yep. I know, Jack.

Thanks. So, yeah, the format of this episode has been a little weird. We had a lot of fun with our over-unders and myths, and then we went and do a deep dive into the NYPD. that happened in the UK that was almost definitely done by Putin and is just being completely allowed by the UK because they're scared of Russia. Or we could talk about show names that we discarded instead of – What's everyone's pick? Let's do the fun one. OK. So Putin –

Oh. Let's talk – oh. What? Putin's not a fun one? Yeah. Did you have a list of the show titles? I have it pulled up. OK. Let's talk. Oh. What? Putin's not a fallen one? Yeah. Did you have a list of the show titles? I have it pulled up. Okay.

These are terrible. So when the show first started, did you know how you wanted the show to be formatted? Yeah. I just knew it was going to be a daily news show. Right. And then from there, we had no idea where it would go, how it would go. And so the first thing I do is you got to name something. Right.

So I remember here's some of the ideas that we had to try out. 270 miles per hour. And you put, Jack, this is the speed thoughts travel in human minds. Wait, is that true? Yeah. Oh, like your synapses and stuff? So from the brain to like the hand, that's how fast like a thought travels. Wow.

Yeah. Wow. Wow. Okay, that gets a wow a thought travels. Wow. Yeah. Wow. Wow. Okay, that gets a wow. That was another idea for Owen Wilson. Wow. Yeah, that's another one. OwenWilsonWow.com. Mind zip.

Got a vodka. Mind zip. Mind gulp. Gross. What were you thinking, Jack? These are all Jack's ideas. These are not all my ideas. This is right around the time Jack got sober after sending this list to us.

That's why the next one, Mind Sipper. Mind Sipper. Let's see. Word Salad. Yeah. Turnt Up. That would have been a weird one. Terrible.

Echolocution. What was that one? Echolocation is what bats use. And then elocution is What was that one? Ecolocation is what bats use. And then elocution is like being eloquent. Can you do the opening where you call this show Ecolocation? And welcome to Ecolocation. So Ecolocation is what bats use. And elocution is like a word for being, I don't know.

We're taking a sample of how bats figure out where they are in physical space and how to be eloquent. Supermouth. Yeah. Das Zeitgeister. Das Zeitgeister. Was an early one. Yeah. I knew Zeitgeist.

Like whenever I described the show, it was like a sample of the Zeitgeist. Right. So we knew it was going to be. Face made for podcasts? Like face made for radio. dinosaur agnostic uh just i think it's funny that some people believe don't believe that uh dinosaurs exist that that uh would be a good like early 2000s like yeah they're on tour with neutral milk hotel Hotel. What else do they got? The Mic Drop. I remember strongly vetoing that. Ear Paint or Ear Painter.

These are terrible. Hey, what about Mind Spritzer? That's fucking awful. Tennis Ball Media. That's right. Jack had a really weird thing about tennis balls. I just think tennis balls are cool looking. That was all it was? Yeah really weird thing about tennis balls. I just think tennis balls are cool looking. Still, still. That was, that was all it was.

Yeah. There was no deeper meaning in that. You just wanted a logo of a tennis ball. No bad ideas. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. This is honestly a word doc that I did not press backspace on. I was just like, all right.

No, of course. Yeah. Just got to just get them. Just throwing them out there. The writing sprint. Little did I know that a hundred episodes on, I would be shamed for all of these horrible ideas. Fly tape. I liked fly tape.

Fly tape's kind of cool. When you first sent that, I was like, I like Supermouth. I like fly tape. And you said you love turnt up. And I love turnt up. I think you suggested turnt up. No, I did not. Because you get it.

People say turnt up. And that's a cool phrase. That's what you said. And I was like, this might be weird coming from you, Jack. I was like, you get it, People say turnt up. And that's what you said. And I was like, this might be weird. I was like, you get it, Miles. Turnt up, right? I don't think you realize when we first started working with you, we were all just trying to be very polite because we just got a job. Because we just want the job.

I was like, yeah, man, whatever you like, man. You were like, tennis balls are cool. And I was like, totally, dude. And then slowly we started being like, we gotta fucking take control from this motherfucker we're gonna end up on the fucking who knows where the tennis ball media the tennis ball media tour and then i suggested mothership because i didn't know what this was gonna be mothership's kind of cool what would you have named it katie do you know what's really funny is the daily zeitgeist to me is such a good name and tells pretty i can't it makes sense i can

figure out what the podcast is without having to listen to an episode because of the title. So it's really fun to hear all the garbage that came before it. But see, that's why. Right.
