Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 189, episode two of the Daily Zeitgeist, a production of iHeartRadio. This is a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's shared consciousness. It is Tuesday, June 15th, 2021. My name is Jack O'Brien, aka, how do I live without do? I want to know. How do I breathe without do? I don't want to know. How could I ever, ever run dry? That is courtesy of Christy Yamaguchi-Maine.

Emily M. Rimes, of course. My inspiration. And I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host Mr. Miles Gray! Yes, yes, yes. It's Miles, the Malaysian Valley legend, aka Hideo Noho. I was just at Dodger Stadium over

the weekend. It was beautiful energy. I was there with my mom, who had not been there for 25 years since Hideo Nomo's rookie season. It was all a vibe. Shout out to everybody that participated in that wonderful, wonderful moment with us. Well, Miles, we are blessed to be joined by two very funny comedians whose work has appeared on lesser shows like this american life and the drew barrymore show they are the lead investigators and hosts of the new show truth hounds which is one of the best things our network has ever created yeah uh in which they look into everyday mysteries like why are late people late and does time fly when you're having fun? We are thrilled and honored to be joined by the hilarious and talented Kyle Mazzono and

Anasar Gino! Wow. I love the second the AKs happened, you guys covered your mouths and said, what the fuck show are we on? And I was like, they don't listen. And I love when, they don't listen. And I love when I see that moment. I mean, it was just really impressive.

It was just a lot. I think, yeah, truth be told, I think when we're normally interacting, it's been about truth hounds and you haven't seen screaming miles. So yeah, I compartmentalize those, the multitudes that I contain. I mean, we just haven't seen you fly. So it's just amazing to see you fly.

That's it. 100%. How are you guys doing? How is the impending drop of the show? Well, today. Today is the day. Today is the day. That's right.

We're in the future. How is the drop of the show treating you? The drop's going really well for me, Kyle. Yeah, the drop's been actually really good. She can't stop talking about the drop. I honestly can't stop talking about it. We've been working

on it for a while, so it's just nice for people to hear it. To see it finally drop feels absurd, actually, because it's been only for us and you. For miles. Super producer Anna Hosea and I have been working to absurd actually because it's been only for us and you yeah for miles yeah no super producer anahosie and i have been working to make this show and just for people we're gonna have i implore you if you like this show you're going to love truth hounds uh and if you're lazy and you're like oh

i'll get around to it we'll probably we'll drop an episode in the feed later on this week so even by passively you will experience the wonderful show. That's truth hounds. I described the show as like a mystery show. That's Starly kind podcast from back in the day, mixed with like Nathan for you. It was like, just like this intersection of your look.

Everyone can already tell the wit is off the chain already. So I'm talking about you're excited about the drop it's all drop excitement but yeah it's a good show and yeah i'm excited for everybody to listen yeah yeah thank you all right we're gonna get to know you guys a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a few of the things we're talking about the republicans are fighting over trump endorsements uh we're going to talk about an impending drought that's happening in California, celebrity breakups,

and how much energy they require. We will talk about that dude that got swallowed whole by a whole-ass humpback whale. And I'm a little... I don't know why he's getting so much shine. We'll talk about that. I want to get you guys' perspective. I'm a little, I don't know why he's getting so much shine. We'll talk about that. I want to get you guys' perspective. I'm a little jealous of this guy.

I was swallowed by a whale as a child. And no one cared. My dad said I was lying. He's being very dramatic about this whole being swallowed by a whale for 30 to 40 seconds thing. Someone spent $28 million to be the fourth on Jeff Bezos' space flight. We'll talk about that. All of that. Plenty more.

But first, Kyle and Anna, we like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Right now, we got a Yahoo Answers open on how to apologize to a fan. So that's pretty revealing. Just apologize to a fan so that's that's pretty revealing it's just apologized to a nice fan wait did you really want to look up sort of mechanically what is involved with apologizing yeah who answers how to apologize how about that or wiki how and what did you learn what was there any valuable information be Be sincere. Be direct. Use an example. See, I never would have come up with that on my own.

I would have gone insincere right off the bat. Definitely. Okay, you want to know, can I say what's actually my search history? Yes. I looked up whether, okay, you know Gone Fishin', the shirt? Kind of a classic. The other day I was really, I was half asleep and i was like has anyone ever done gone shitting and so i looked i looked that up no one's done it so that's just that's just

open for anyone to kind of take advantage of no one's done a gone fish and tribute shirt that's gone shitting so that's yeah that's my uh late at night R-rated Google search. Great insight into the drifting off to sleep dream logic. I'm half asleep. How is this still available? I just don't understand.

I think it's probably because most people don't want to be like I've gone shitting. People aren't proud? Well, I mean, it want to be like, I've gone shit. Right. People aren't proud. Well, I mean, it's like, yeah, I'll say I've gone fishing, but do I want to tell someone I've gone shit? I don't think so. Right. Because that sign is sort of born out of going to a small mom and pop business, right? And it's not open because they have a sign up that says, hey, gone fishing.

Sorry. And then, yeah, I guess if you went somewhere and you're like, gone shitting, you're like. Yeah, don't bother me. I'm gone shitting. Okay, so 10 minutes? It's the honest version. Right. It's the honest version of what, of those shop signs.

I'm just trying to be earnest. Right. Here, 2020. Gone shitting. Gone shitting. I'll be back. I'm not saying I'm leaving. I'm not leaving the business behind.

I'm just, you know. Just want to be clear, though. It's a little bit more than I'm in the bathroom for a second. Gone shitting is an activity. Yeah, it's a little more than I'm splashing my face. I'm doing some other stuff in there, too. Right, right. This is our first interview in a very long time you could also do a whole a whole line of those

because there's also the i'd rather be fishing and you could have the i'd rather be shitting oh god shirt that's a that's a huge absolutely yeah i'd rather be shit this is so lame i don't want to be here i'd rather be shit damn son you're this to my kids baptism kind of hostile dude i mean i'm here because i have to be i'm clocked in but i can be very honest with everyone but i won't be muzzled while i'm here exactly i'd rather be shitting okay but also let's dedicate this child to Christ real quick. Really quick. I mean, I'm not a monster. I'm here.

I showed up. Showed up. A monster would have been shitting and not here. What is something you guys think is overrated? This is actually what we were prepared for. Okay. Shitting. Shitting. I. This question. Shitting. Shitting.

I did have one. I actually thought about last night. I did not tell you though. Oh, damn. But hopefully you agree with this. Okay, picnics. Because, I mean, every time I eat outside, I think you get, usually there's a lot of bees. I should have talked to Anna about this one.

No, I'm sorry. What you're hearing is that i'm captivated and i'm enamored constantly and i'm constantly impressed by you and so this kind of goes into that because i hear you and even though i haven't heard you say these words before i go i'm right there with her i am right i am right there that's why this works over overrated yeah because there's ants because there's ants and there's bees and it's just i don't i think it's hard to eat comfortably outside can i even add yes dining al fresco i know it's a it's a it's a necessary evil at this point and i know some people are like look it's like portugal or whatever i don't like when people walk by and look at my food. I feel too exposed. Don't look at my food.

It's private. Okay? I wish I could. I don't like dining al fresco. I don't like a picnic. I just don't like eating outside. Okay. Can you bear eating outside if it were a place that isn't like a high-trafficked foot area?

It's just a section that is dining outside. But I get it because I was eating outside for the first time time recently and it was like one of those sidewalk adjacent things and you're like oh man like this person on the fucking bird scooter almost knocked over the fucking water station it was like a nightmare exactly i don't like that level of like scrutiny from the street it should be up for discussion i don't need even a facial opinion you know what it really for me this comes from i'll say a trauma i know we're throwing the word trauma around a lot nowadays but i was eating in san francisco fisherman's wharf already huge mistake i'm eating a lobster bisque i took a chance on a soup that i wasn't previously acquainted with

the soup was it's a bread bowl but i'll be very honest with everybody here the soup was green it was a green lobster bisque yeah it's not your average looking bisque i understand but people were walking by and really looking into my soup in a way that no you know i'm already facing this i'm suffering the consequences of my soup okay right i don't need added okay i know that's not what you were talking about originally yeah but i'm happy you added to what I said. You really got me going on something. It really helped me. You really got me.

Helped my answer. Oh, we're coming back to you, Kyle. Oh, no. Don't you worry. I like the name Alfresco. I think that's fun. Yeah. Yeah.

Alfresco is a nice name for name your kid or. Yeah. Alfresco. Alfresco. Maybe you get a second dog. Yeah, you get a second dog yeah i got a second dog i'll name al fresco i like when shaky's pizza in glendale was trying to do al fresco dining shaky's pizza in glendale oh they had a sign briefly in the pandemic that said but you know come do shaky's al fresco and it was just a parking lot in glendale yeah yeah that's a that's

a bit of a mismatch like linguistically when you're like shakey's alfresco you're like no hold on hold on let's just be like y'all can eat in the parking lot now that feels like more on point because we're there for the mojos let's be real absolutely you said are you are you like with bees and stuff i know you said you don't like the the the picnic i get it i'm with somebody who hates bees and when they get stung like it's a fucking problem so is it do you have like a real aversion to bees or you're just in general like and i don't like sitting on the ground your ass gets wet sometimes because the grass the moisture seeps through and then suddenly got wet but i don't like any of this

like we're just to help me understand where you're coming wow thank you for also helping my answer no i'm like i'm just trying to make sure we're on the same page. No, we're on the same page. I think I do have an aversion to bees. I mean, but I mean, who doesn't? I mean, when you see a bee, you're not going to be like, ah, like start running and try to get away from the bee. It's like, but I mean, I think growing up, it's like I always go to these picnics and it's like but i mean i think growing up it's like i always go to these picnics and it's like there'd be so many bees and it's just not i just don't want to get stung you

know i know there's a problem with the bees so no offense to no offense no offense to bees because right i think going in stinks so i'm not trying to they're going through it but i just don't they're going through it and you know like i respect that and go girl we've all been there girl we've been there like i'm sorry i'm sorry it's okay it's okay but i just don't want i just don't like them you know my space you got your space i got my space the degree to which like my behavior was shaped by early bee stings, I never would walk outside without shoes on because I stepped on a bee once when I was four years old. I feel like I've been guided by bee stings. Then I just got stung by a bee for the first time in 20 years over the weekend by a dead bee.

I was picking up a big clump of leaves and there was a dead bee in there and it stung my fingy and it really i don't know how long how long ago it's been since you guys got stung but those still hurt the that's one thing that hasn't gone away about the bees they're still bastards i still feel like there is there's this idea like yo man like once you're like 20 man a bee sting doesn't yeah and then like i i too had a bee sting like for the first time since like high school a few years ago and i was like ah it was so fucked like it fucked me up so bad and then i was so mad at myself i was like your pain threshold should be high what the fuck happened to you man but uh i

learned to live with the bee stings and now jack you won't go outside with without gloves now yeah i know yeah that's why i'm wearing these two sparkly michael jackson gloves but i early from of mice and men type thing we then like went swimming at our uh neighbor's house and every time a bee got in the pool i like made everyone get out until i could like fish it out I was really fucked up from this thing. Beep! All right, guys. Out.

Everyone! Spotted another one. This is bullshit. You think getting swallowed by a whale is bad? I'm trying to get stung by a swimming bee. Wow. What's something you guys think is underrated? Okay, we did discuss this one.

We did discuss this for sure. So we have a prepared answer. For sure we do. Do you want to hit it? Spill it? No. Okay, I'll spill it. No. Kyle just turned her seat around backwards. Okay, I have two. One is the one we discussed and one is actually the one I thought about without

talking to you about it. And so hopefully it's okay for me to say it and it doesn't tank like the other one and you guys don't have to help me. don't think it tanked i think you blossomed i think you did a really good job okay you flew by the end of it you flew i was flying fly kyle fly that's thank you okay i think we think it's overrated as a duo that of going of going out yeah i think we're at a time where people are now out and about but maybe it's a little overrated i think it's over i'm back to staying in i gotta say yesterday yeah i think i did some social stuff last week and then yesterday i gotta tell you the most i went out is i went out of one room and i walked into another and then i had a sit

in that room and then i walked around my house and I had a couple of sits all throughout. And that was my day. I sat for a good amount of time in different rooms. Yeah. And that was as good as it gets. One of the things that we bond on, Anna and I, is that we both like to go to bed really early. Yeah. So, I mean, it's kind of difficult in being comedians because sometimes it's like a show at like 8 or something.

It's like, sorry, dude, I'm asleep. Yeah, I think we did a show on Friday and it was a great time. You know, no disrespect to the show. No disrespect, yeah. But the show started at 8.30. And if we're being honest, the show started at 8.45, if we're being honest. It was slated to start at 8.30. Again, no disrespect.

But the show wasn't over until like 11. Are you out of your gourd? I gotta be in bed by 10. What are you, out of your mind? Are you fully in bed by 10? I wanna be in bed by 10. Yeah. Don't even think about saying goodnight.

If possible, like 6. That was extreme. Yeah, if possible. Just a nice slow boil into bed. Sometimes it's not possible. I would say don't email Kyle after six because there's a good chance she's not going to get it till tomorrow.

Yeah. Wait, is the early to bed, is that a cause of early to rise? Or are we talking like, no, I'm in bed at 10, I wake up at 10. Yeah. I'm on a nice 12 solid 12 hours of z's gotta get our z's in i gotta get my 12 z's as possible yeah i'm talking 12 hours of these 13 hours of z's i am i am finding myself going like hearing about people

like oh let's go out to this thing like things are opening up and i'm my first thing's like that was the old miles who who lived for things before the pandemic like none of these things matter now not that i'm so like nihilistic or cynical but like there is a part of me that i think the first kinds of activities i've been wanting to do were just like just person to person like hanging out with friends more than like the thing of like let's go to x location to do this i'm more like let's just look at each other in their eyes and be like we're all doing okay good wow yes absolutely i would like to go on to disneyland or something though yeah sure eventually yeah i. Eventually, yeah. I'm down. I see people going.

I get a little FOMO. But the lines, though. And then the weather forecasts. Yeah. Kyle and I, I mean, not to tell tales out of school, but we went to Disneyland in Paris one time. Yeah. And it was like, it's a train ride away, like a day train ride away. And it's like, it's a train ride away like a day train ride away and it's like it's outside of

paris and we got there and they were like hey welcome to disneyland paris we don't have electricity today so anything that needs electricity you're kind of on your own other than that you know welcome and so we did we just did all the there's all the mazes we walked around we met the characters disneyland without the electricity allowed the park to be open just with the caveat there's look there's just no electrical charges going through anything right now so you're like you're walking around is that goofy or is that just a french guy i don't know you know right let's check him out is that a maze i don't know or is that just a French guy? I don't know. Let's check him out. Is that a maze?

I don't know. Or is it just a really tiny card garden? That's sad that that's what you're left with. It's like, well, what can you do? Because ostensibly all the rides require electricity. If it was a maze, you can walk through that one section. I guess the boats you could manually paddle. No, you can't.

Oh, wow. No, you definitely can't. We were very limited in what we could do, but we still managed to have a good time. We still managed to have a great time, but I would like to kind of go back and correct that. Yeah, we did a beautiful trip to Paris, just us girls. Just to go to Disney, right? It was an amazing trip for our friendship because we actually bought

matching berets we wore them in the airport and we were surprised on the plane to paris that no one else was wearing berets we were actually the only ones we were like is this the right plane because i think if it's going to paris everybody should be right where they get are we on the right flight yeah i don't know where are we going amsterdam I don't know. Where are we going? Amsterdam? I don't know. And then we took those berets. We went to the Eiffel Tower like really late at night. And then we threw the berets off the Eiffel Tower like one, two, three. But really did? Yeah, we did it.

We recorded it. We have never used that audio, but maybe one day it'll find a place somewhere. In a future season of True Sounds, maybe. Yeah, maybe in True Sounds. Did you bicycle around with a baguette sticking out of a bag at all? We walked around with some baguettes, for sure.

Were they sticking out of bags? I don't know. Necker Chiefs? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Gotta have the striped shirts with the Necker Chiefs. We'll allow it. There's no way they'll know we're from California we're fitting right in

I'm wearing a beret as big as my own head and instead of a walking stick I'm using a baguette there's just no way to pay nowhere for it instead of a walking stick I'm using a walking stick as a baguette it's my walking baguette

that's too much they just don't know there's no way Using a walking stick as a baguette. It's my walking baguette. It's my walking baguette. That's too much. Yeah, so they just don't know. There's no way. We blend right in. All right, guys, let's take a quick break, and we will be right back. In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds, Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game.

Atari promised $150,000 in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. My reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus.

Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life

in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Some people won't give you the real talk on drugs, but it's time we know the facts. Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs and used to make fake versions of prescription pills. You can't see it, taste it, or smell it. Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap, and the dealer might not even know. Keep yourself and others safe by knowing the real deal on fentanyl. Get the facts. Go to realdealonfentanyl.com. This message is brought to you by the Ad Council. who inspire us. Like a recent episode with Latin Grammy winner, podcast host, and TV personality, Chiquis, about making a name

for herself as the eldest daughter of beloved singer, Jenny Rivera. I'm not afraid. And I think that that's why I've been able to kind of do my own thing

and not necessarily stay in my mom's shadow because I'm not afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone and shaking things up a little bit because that's the only way

I feel that you're going to make history. Listen to The Bright Side from Hello Sunshine on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back and you guys just heard back from just to not to tell stories out of school you just heard back from the fan you apologized to and everything is good there yeah everything's squared away with our fans i just think it's important that if you put out a podcast and you clown on someone really hard you got to um give them a heads up yeah oh my god the number of emails we've had to send to donald trump and mitch mcconnell and has been it keeps hey when we get

back our calls from the secret service and stuff right just trying to be good hosts uh all right well let's speaking of which mitch mcconnell is now no longer the key endorsee of the Republican Party. That honor now goes to Donald Trump and people are fighting like over over table scraps. Well, the problem is Donald Trump. OK, he's because everyone just wants to hear who he's getting behind. The calculus is different than Mitch McConnell, who wants to win the Senate back. So McConnell's like, we need viable candidates that we can either flip districts or hold our districts. Right.

Donald Trump's calculus is who's a shameless lying asshole who will reject reality. And even the premise of an election, that's who I'm going to back. And it's causing like this really awful, you know, back and forth between the two. I just want to highlight a couple of people in Georgia. Donald Trump is backing the former football player Herschel Walker, who doesn't even live in Georgia. And I think his idea is like, well, Herschel Walker is black and Raphael Warnock is black.

So then maybe that is how we'll win that Senate seat. A lot of other people were like, this is not a good idea. He doesn't even live in the state, Donald Trump. And meanwhile, he's like, no, I love this guy. Also, Herschel Walker didn't even go to the Republican State Convention. We're not even sure he's taking this seriously, but that's a name floating around. Another person is Eric Gretens, who's the former governor of Missouri. Another person is Eric Gretens, who's the former governor of Missouri.

He had he said he had to resign because of just an awful sex scandal that came out about him, has terrible name recognition in the state. And again, people like there are other options. And Trump's like, no, he voted overturned it. Like anyone who has been in favor of overturning the election is all it takes now. Anyone who has been in favor of overturning the election is all it takes now. And so this is where we're going, where even like states that have, I guess, what you call normal Republicans or whisper racists, as I like to call them. Yes. Those people who are like are doing well in polls, like when they say like for North Carolina, they're like, oh, this former governor is doing well. Trump is backing the person in dead last because he's a house member who overturned the election who voted and so mitch mcconnell has now come out saying like they're like what are you gonna do because people don't know what's going on what should you do he's saying he will intervene if he has to so sparks yeah we're truly in a race between like the power of his shameless racism and his just utter incompetence, like whether or not our country is going to end in a garbage fire heap.

The fact that he's this incompetent always is good news. Good to learn. Yeah, I think that's what a lot of the headlines are, is that, oh, he's going to mess this up. Because in 2018, in the midterms, he put out a bunch of candidates that clearly weren't up to scruff and the house shifted. So we will see. I think the one thing is, though, it's hard to know what will happen because if Joe Biden continues to not deliver on any of his campaign promises, that may make things easier for Republicans running because there'll be a lot of

disillusioned people who are like, I thought he was going to cancel like student debt. Like he was telling people that or like checks or that's all. No. Okay. All right. Let's, uh, let's talk about the drought. Good for good for picnics, you know, avoid all those wet butts, but not so good for fire season. So the the past couple fire seasons in california have been worse than anything i've experienced in my 11 years here like the air quality became the thing you checked every morning instead of like chance of rain because there were just so many fires and so much smoke and shit and it seemed just felt like, you know, we could use a break. Come on. We deserve a break here. And it turns out like the worst case scenario is happening where more global warming

leads to worse fires, which leads to increased carbon in the atmosphere, which leads to more global warming, which leads to worse fires, because we're in the middle of a unprecedented drought right now the worst drought of the last 20 years in the pacific southwest basically uh and just the southwest in general so you know just kind of a appetizer for i'm sure what what are going to be a number of uh stories that are super fucking depressing where we're like yeah this is uh miles and jack recording from inland uh where we were chased by a wildfire right yeah i the i mean i think everywhere has been as much as we get rain here and there i think just seeing like these graphics and graphs that just show oh it's turning into like a

hot charcoal stone what happens and yeah the air quality thing is really like i think that's like the one of the big things that have been has really begun changing and like i think for people who live in la of just being like especially if you have any kind of breathing difficulty like can i ride a bike today and like the air level quality says cotton mouth kings concert like what is this at all like this feels i get that's how they're trying to get us to relate to the situation room but yeah i don't know where did you guys grow up did you grow up in la area san francisco okay and uh r So, you know. But when you came, where did you move to when you came to the U.S.? I moved to Vancouver first in Canada and then to like San Diego.

So, you know, nothing to write home about there. And then San Francisco eventually. Yeah. Right, right, right. So, I mean, yeah, the fear of drought is at least kyle you're aware of that i'm sure living in san francisco people always talking about that especially being near the central valley well and after what san francisco looked like last year like last fall yeah the photos about the red and oh yeah so scary yeah i think i remember going to san francisco i

was wearing a mask because of the air. And then I used that same mask for the pandemic. So, a little homecoming for you. Nothing to laugh about. Not funny at all, but just saying, good use of a mask. Bang on the mask motif there. Yeah. And I didn't mean to

imply that you guys were pro-drought because of the picnic. No, we're very pro-drought. That's not fair of me. For the record, you guys were pro-drought because of the picnic no we're very that's not fair actually we are pro-drought yeah never indicated before this recording that you're pro-drought pro-global warming we're pro-trump and pro-drought yeah those are kind of two big things that's actually why we were kind of closed lip because honestly they're talking about my friend i know we're like that's my that's my uncle what's his first don, that's my uncle. What's his first name? Donald. That's my uncle Donald. I forgot his first name. You're a real political insider, right?

Yeah, because we're calling him Uncle D. Uncle D. Uncle D. The D's for drought, because we love that too. Fucking shut up, my uncle. Uncle D and his drought. And his drought. All right.

Well, let's talk about celeb breakups. I think this is what's all on our minds. And I just want to clear up. You don't have any connection to Ben Affleck, A-Rod, or Jennifer Lopez before we go start saying things about them. I actually think that Anna has a connection to Jennifer Lopez. Do you want to share that? This is pretty cool. This is pretty cool, but there's a commercial with Jennifer Lopez do you want to share that this is pretty cool this is pretty cool but

I was in a commercial with Jennifer Lopez wow and it's funny that you say wow because have you seen it no no okay are you saying wow in it or something not only am I saying wow but it was like the director was like hey we're not going to use this don't worry about it don't worry about we're definitely not going to use it so just for fun and just something to keep in mind is we're not going to use it can you do one that's like wow that's the one that the commercial is that i go wow jennifer lopez and um so that's my my close personal friend j Lopez. Oh, man. Okay, well, then I guess we'll go lightly. Yeah, please be light about my friend. Yeah.

I'm just, I was just reading this thing, right, about just the energy that's going into, like, this A-Rod, J-Lo, Ben Affleck thing, where right now, over the weekend, A-Rod posted, like, on his stories, he was, like, working out with, like, his ex-wife, who's, like, the mother of his kids. And he posted this picture where she's, like, wrapping his thigh, like, with ice. And he's like, Cynthia's a world-class mommy to our girls.

Wrapping ice, though? LOL. But it's, like, I don't know, meant to seem like, hey, Jennifer, I'm intimate with a person from my past, too, as well. And we're working out. intimate with a person from my past too, as well. And we're working out. Felt very like,

just so transparent, like insecure celebrity energy. But the other thing I didn't realize is that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, like Jennifer Lopez, especially they were really trying to pre-plan revealing their like relationship through Instagram. And they say the paparazzi like ruined it according to insider quote he stayed at her house in April and she was planning to make an announcement that they are back together on Instagram it's all about timing with her these are people who don't like to

be alone and she really likes him they have a long history there and the paparazzi beat them to it I just like I read this and i'm like i feel we don't talk about how like the thing about becoming a celebrity at a certain level is you cease to just become a normal person like you can't even like you're like the optics of me getting back with ben though it used to be like this someone would just catch you in someone else's instagram post be like are you hooking up with them again like oh my god you saw that oh yeah yeah you're a brand you're like just like there's a company forms around you with like a bunch of people who are making decisions about your life that are purely based on like what is good for the brand and that brand is your life it's i i think it's underrated like how

maddening being famous must be for a lot of a lot of these people who i i just feel for them yeah i've always said pr move if you have a hard-boiled egg like it's right right those are the terms that i know by you know know how I feel. Yeah, everything's like a PR decision. Yeah. Which is cool. I would like that. Yeah, actually, I would love that. I'd love if the people were paying more attention to me like that.

Yeah. They'd be like, why is Kyle wearing those hats again? Yes. I would love that because then I could come out with a statement. Yeah. She loves coming out with a statement. What would you say? What do you think a thing you would run afoul with would for your brand that

you would have to have statements about Kyle? So if I guess I had new hat on, I would go, this is my PR company would say, Kyle is wearing a new hat. But also please don't stop paying attention to her big shirts. But that's from Kyleyle's pr company that's it am i wrong no no i think you did it you really helped me out there

nailed it we nailed the voice for that for that pr for that press release the other thing is like yeah when the people that are like mega stars they are just deeply paranoid and suspicious of everyone that's around them because at a certain point like you truly like you don't make friends the same way you used to which is like oh wow you like this thing oh we get along we're vibing we go to the same school we work at the same place whatever and now it's like what the fuck does this person want from me like what the fuck why is this person smiling well just so they can ask me to of course you know endorse their fit tea in a couple weeks no if all you have around are yes men who are like who actually are are an exact mirror back to you and fail to like provide you with a dose of actual reality then you have no you can't be perceptible

well that's reality and that's why when i see celebrities i actually go out of my way to leave the building like no matter where it is because i i'm like you know what i literally don't need anything in the sense that i'm just gonna fucking leave because i need nothing from you yeah so much so you're repellent yes so much so i'm gonna drive home from here and i'm gonna shut my door and then i'm actually not gonna leave my house for a day wow just in case beautiful no i i think that's like i don't think it's the celebrity's fault always because it's almost impossible to have people in in american society where celebrity is viewed as like they're almost like deities right like that we worship like i it's almost impossible to find somebody who would view you as like a genuine

human being like i don't know how to act around celebrities. I couldn't like just become friends with a celebrity and value them on a human level without like taking into account everything that my like entire life has told me about celebrities. Like, it's just, it's, I feel like it's a hard situation to be in.

I also flee through the nearest window any time a famous person comes into a room with me. I think that's the appropriate response. Let me tell you a little bit about my good friend J-Lo. My character's name in the commercial was Shirley. And we know this because I had a name tag that said Shirley. And so I didn't meet Jennifer Lopez ahead of time. And so one second

there was no Jennifer Lopez in my life. And then the next second she was just right here. She was like mere inches away from my face. She has a beautiful face. She has no pores. I mean, she's stunning. But at some point in between takes, she looked at my name tag and she said,

and don't call me Shirley. And then everybody was instructed to not look at her. Oh, really? Don't breathe. If you could not be, just don't be. Don't yes and her airplane references. No, just leave her alone.

Just look at your shirt. But at some point she goes, and don't call me Shirley. And then everybody was really quiet. And then she went, it's funny. And then she said, it's funny.

She said, no, it's funny. So then everyone go. So then people were like, and starting to laugh. And she said, no,

it's funny because her name tag says Shirley. And then everybody laughed. So. Oh, that's my story. That's my inside scoop. What what a mental prison to be i mean that's yeah you just really talk about hey the airplane don't call me shirley and i was like i'm sorry i was instructed to not interact world gone matt she goes no no no no no it's funny oh okay oh okay oh you know what how did you respond in that moment like i would have my heart would have just escaped from my body i would have just gotten the fuck out of there not knowing because it's like not a thing that you would laugh

at but you feel like you should laugh like just the number of contradictions built into you standing there receiving that joke is impossible it's like a purely impossible situation yeah i mean i think i was like oh yeah oh for sure and then later actually there was one more goof she did one more goof so in the commercial she's like it's set in a grocery store and she's supposed to impulse buy a piece of gum and she improvised and she used a pineapple instead of the piece of gum and then in between takes she goes a pineapple that's funny and people were like um she goes no that's funny she goes no it's funnier than gum she looked at me and i said right well you're a comedian i said well you know pineapple that is funny she goes i know that's it so i mean that's it oh my god i don't know and did all of this inform your performance when you

had to say wow jlo the wow is you could tell it's very loaded it's it's right there's a lot there's a back pain and psychological warfare and wow yeah i mean this is no minor like the jlo is supposed to be like first of all in person one of the more like striking human forms that most people have ever encountered and then like also very aggressively like famous like not somebody who shrinks from their fame or no feels a contradiction about it it's a she's beautiful... She's more beautiful than you even want her to be. You know? She's like, this is more than I wanted.

This is more than I wanted. You guys, I wanted some good... Whoa, easy. Easy, J-Lo. This is... She gets starving and you're this beautiful? No. I mean, it was insane because I was just like...

She looks exactly like she does on TV like and that's not something you I don't know like I think when you you expect like some airbrushing but she is really that beautiful and then it's just crazy because it's undeniably her you know sometimes you see a celebrity and you're like the head is

smaller than I thought I just I don't know no disrespect but I saw Diane Keaton out and I was like she's so tiny is she really tiny like the head is smaller than i thought i just i don't know no disrespect but i saw diane keaton out and i was like she's so tiny is she really tiny i think i mean maybe her hat was just bigger than i thought kyle you like yeah diane keaton dresses like diane keaton characters yeah she's she doesn't fuck around like she that's her brand like to the point where i go look at this diane keaton cosplaying it's diane but But again, can I repeat what you said? Is that you didn't know she was small

or just her hat was huge? Yeah, like it was like, I don't know what I was more like, I was like, do I think she has a tiny head, but she also had like a big one of her big hats on. And then I was trying to be like, well, what do I think? Then I went in my own head. I was like,

well, what size did you think Diane Keaton was supposed to be?, well, what do I think? Then I went in my own head. I was like, well, what size did you think Diane Keaton was supposed to be? You did the work. Yeah. And then I was like, hmm, yeah, maybe the hat's making her head look all tiny. And that's just a bad look for her. It fell off for her. And so ultimately you just said, wow,

Diane Keaton! I feel like this is the perfect celebrity sighting for Kyle. Diane? Wait, Kyle, who's the most famous celebrity you've had to encounter and maybe not interact with, but that you've seen out and you're like, oh. I mean, like I said, I just, I will try to avoid it at all possible. Even if you catch wind?

Yeah, I guess it's, I guess it, I guess this is, I wish I had something better, but I guess it's Katherine Heigl. Oh, you have a good. Yeah, I did an audition with her and I touched her tit. But I mean, I just touched her and I should have asked for permission. I've talked about this before. And yeah, it just was a shitty situation because they should have told me ahead of time that I was auditioning with her. I didn't know that. And then I was a brief. There was a part of the they should have told me ahead of time that I was auditioning with her. I didn't know that.

And then there was a part of the scene where I had to touch her. I guess looking back, I should have been like, hello, can I touch you? But I was, you know. It's the audition room, so you think. I was sort of running on adrenaline. I touched her. And then they said, please don't do the next scene. And then she drove off and she didn't audition with anyone else so wow and i broke out in a flu after so oh was this the flu the famous

flu i broke out in a flu because it was just i don't know she gave it to me or i gave it to her that's crazy but to kyle's credit kyle would never maliciously obviously unconsensually touch it doesn't matter who it is katherine Heigl or not, but she wasn't warned and she was just sworn into a room where Katherine Heigl was super close to her which is already you know who I would love to meet? We would love to both meet

Keanu Reeves, we would love to meet Jason Statham I'm a huge Jason, we love Jason Statham just those action guys, I want to just be like, how big they are yeah I would love to see how big they are that's who I would love to see Kyle next to a Keanu or Statham looking

up looking up I want a picture where it's like you know where you like they put maybe that's a little what do you call it belittling but I think it's funny if it's they're like you're this small. Because I'm huge.

I'd love to see them tower over Kyle. I would love that. Is Jason Statham listening to your podcast? He isn't listening. Keanu Reeves' girlfriend does though. Really? Yeah, the artist.

Oh, you said Statham. Yeah, Keanu Reeves' girlfriend. That's what I thought you asked. Well, we'd love to meet him. We'd love to meet him. All right, let's take a quick break, and we will be right back. In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds.

Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised 150 grand in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist.

My reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure

across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president

was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right

hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Some people won't give you the real talk on drugs, but it's time we know the facts. Fentanyl is often laced into illicit drugs and used to make fake versions of prescription pills. You can't see it, taste it, or smell it. Suppliers mix fentanyl into their products because it's potent and cheap.

And the dealer might not even know. Keep yourself and others safe by knowing the real deal on fentanyl. Get the facts. Go to realdealonfentanyl.com. This message is brought to you by the Ad Council. Hey, fam. I'm Simone Boyce. I'm Danielle Robay. And we're the hosts of The Bright Side, the daily podcast from Hello Sunshine that is guaranteed to light up your day.

Every weekday, we bring you conversations with the culture makers who inspire us. who inspire us. Like a recent episode with Latin Grammy winner, podcast host, and TV personality, Chiquis, about making a name for herself as the eldest daughter of beloved singer, Jenny Rivera. I'm not afraid. And I think that that's why I've been able to kind of do my own thing

and not necessarily stay in my mom's shadow because I'm not afraid of stepping out of my comfort zone and shaking things up a little bit because that's the only way I feel that you're going to make history. Listen to the bright side from hello sunshine on the I heart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back and the break was an adventure uh so a couple things we have to tell you guys for for necessary background is that uh truth hounds actually started out as a show called there's something about mr reeves that was one of the funniest things we'd ever heard it's kyle and anna basically kyle finding out about keanu reeves like years after everybody else but like kind of developing this obsession and then it kind of unfolds where everybody has like an incredible story that like tangentially relates to Keanu Reeves. And during the break, super producer Justin had one such story as we were talking about just kind of generally the mystique of Keanu Reeves. Justin, you want to come in and share with the audience? Yeah, sure. So my dad and his older brother were members of a band called Ooze Magazine in Chicago.

They played with a lot of pretty big people in their time in the 70s and 80s. And in the 90s, my uncle was just playing rooms, trying to link up with any band he could get a gig with. And one of those bands was Keanu Reeves band and the best part about it was he would be up there very shy guy very very humble and down to earth and he would usually spend most of his time alone before and just sitting there relaxing in the corner of the room and as soon as they went up to play the entire room would just like magnetically shift over to Keanu Reeves and the rest of his poor bandmates would be playing to a mostly empty room

while everyone was just staring up at Keanu like a god on one side and Keanu is the bassist he's not the drummer or the singer at the center of stage so it's just like everybody's in the corner of the room just watching keanu reeves and for the most part what i hear he's just looking at his he's looking

at his instrument just in the zone everyone's just throwing a fit for this guy and the rest of his band is just playing their heart out to no one it's it's so sad but it's it's a lovely story that's you know keanu has that kind of magnetism the kind of yeah you you why not ignore everyone else and focus on him right the universal constant yes but he would probably feel bad about that he's such a good guy that from our findings that he would probably like you know i'm gonna wear a hood tonight. Yeah, he'd be like, no, guys. That was really good. No, guys, this is a whole band.

Like, this is really good. Sorry. Give it up for Trevor, guys. He's really doing his best up here. He'd probably go behind the other band members so that the crowd follows with. So they could get some stray, some stray crossfire eye contact. Yeah, he's like, get in front of me. Get in front of me.

Do your solo. Do your solo. Oh, man, we did it, huh? Oh, man. What a mystique. It's so funny. The mystique, the myth. I mean, we heard so many stories because the funny thing is that everybody,

we wanted to hear the more mundane, the better. So someone was like, my brother installed a toilet, a bathroom door at Keanu Reeves' house and he was nice. And we were like, that's the perfect story for us. We would love to look into that. Yeah, we would get stories that were like, I overheard Keanu Reeves say, I don't like to take the freeways. Those were like the kind of stories. We were like, that's embarrassing.

Those were like the kind of stories that we were like, that's embarrassing. Yeah. But the crazy thing is, the more we worked on it, the more every situation we went into, someone had a story. Everybody has a Keanu story. I think I did a comedy show and then I was talking about it. And then the host was like, oh, yeah, Keanu Reeves, like, purchased my kids preschool, sold it back to them for a penny yeah that's right and so there's actually a picture of him in the preschool yeah like that's crazy yeah the school was like gonna get shut down it was gonna get shut down so he purchased it yeah good guy one time we heard a story that one time he was at his own birthday party

and he went outside to smoke and there was a line to get in and he didn't want to cut so he stood in the back of the line he waited to get in the bouncer when it got to his turn was like you don't have to wait it's your birthday party you're keanu reeves and he was like I feel like he's like someone who could fall victim to someone really like pathological who's like a scammer who's like oh I'm so cold and hungry Keanu and he's like oh no and then you're like I got it

I feel like he's too wise for that though or I feel like his mystique is such that when that pathological scammer came into contact with them, they would be like somehow reformed. Right, right. Oh, that you'd realize like his energy is so potent that you're like, right. I want to be honest about myself. Actually, I'm a bit of a reptile brain only looking out for myself.

Totally. That sucks. Yeah. Thanks. I'm a bit of a reptile brain only looking out for myself that sucks thanks wow absolutely I do want to get to this guy who got swallowed whole by a humpback whale because I think he's really like the reverse Keanu

no I'm just joking he's out here for the wrong reasons i'm being really hard on this guy uh so this is something that actually happens a lot like there there's a lot of really cool videos on youtube of people uh there's one where there's a scuba diver just like resurfacing and then the water around him just like starts boiling with small fish that a whale is driving to the surface and then like water around him just like starts boiling with small fish that a whale is driving to the surface and then like a whale comes within inches of like swallowing that guy

and it's just massive and like really cool and then there's another where a guy gets swallowed like is in the mouth of a whale there's video footage of it and another where a boat carrying two kayakers gets like swallowed whole that one's fucked up that one's wild right it's it's the kind that you wish you saw you're like dude I want these videos where the whale just swallows a kayak and you're like well here's a link for you

it's like straight up jaws shit it's yeah because it's just calm water then breach and people like I remember in that clip the one person just like oh shit oh shit not helpful yeah so it's something that happens accidentally people hang out around where whales might breach because whale watching is a whole thing and they're like magical you know mystical creatures that are it's just insane that they exist.

The fact that we just go through our days with whales existing, just mammals that are that big that swim around in the ocean is wild. So there's no footage of this guy getting swallowed. So I think this is why this is getting like kind of capturing the zeitgeist and other examples where people's like George Costanza recovering the golf ball levels of drama to this like he's just he's talking about let me just read some of his words so his words I was inside it I was inside its mouth it tried to eat me which is not true like everybody was like. First of all. They can't eat anything that big. Their throat is very small.

But like there's just. It's him and his spotter. Who like watch. Watches his bubbles. To make sure he's okay. While he's down there. Like going lobster fishing. And then.

He's like. But the bubbles suddenly. Alright so this is from his spotter but the bubble suddenly stopped then an explosion of white water erupted from the sea mayo wasn't sure what he was witnessing a burly fish thrashed before him and for a split second he thought it was a great white shark then mayo saw its flukes cut through the water and observed it violently shake its head i so just the the fact that they're like adding violence to it and he's saying that it was trying to swallow him also like in the in the videos you can tell that it's an accident that it's the equivalent

of somebody eating something and a fly flies into their mouth and they like cough it up but in this version of the story, by turning the whale into something with an agenda that was to eat him, suddenly the headlines are like, real life Moby Dick tries to eat diver and shit. And it's just, I don't love it because it implies that he's... It's whale slander.

Yeah, it's whale slander. You know what it is? PC culture going way too far. That's what it is. Yeah. it's whale slander. You know what it is? PC culture going way too far. That's what it is. Yeah. They came after Tom Hanks this morning. Who's next? Sure.

They tried to eat you. Because, yeah, those other clips, the whale almost looks like, oh, fuck. What's in my mouth? Like when they have like a giant kayak, they're like, no, no, no. Didn't want this. Yeah. And they're just immediately released yeah what i can capture in my baleen but this it's good to know because in my mind it was very

possible that a whale could just swallow you but you're saying it's like physically i know that they're not carnivorous so they don't they're not ever intending to attack a human or whatever but yeah their throats are too narrow they just like swallow a bunch of tiny things and then use their like to like send everything else out so we'll send this one to the dubious whale attacks panel yeah because it's also the thing that's unique is that he claims he was in the mouth for 30 to 40 seconds which is much longer than the other encounters but like he didn't have any of the injuries that would come from being that deep and like the whale coming to the surface with him like he should have

had like a lot of embolisms and stuff so so i don't know man i'm just saying uh he's also just all over the place like he's uh he did a reddit ask me anything like i was swallowed whole by a whale like already he like from his hospital bed all right truth hounds truth hounds get to the bottom of this we will this guy really swallowed by a whale this is a soft pitch for you guys to look into this bullshit but um we'll be in touch just to talk to that i'm sure a conversation between you and this person would be hilarious be like okay and then what was that like? What was that like for you? I was just swallowed.

I was swallowed so bad. It was so frightening. They tried to eat me. I don't know if you saw the Washington Post thing that came up, but they tried to eat me. The Washington Post article goes out of its way to tell you about every brush with death that this guy has had.

He was in a really bad plane accident and like a decade ago which is you know harrowing for sure but it's just kind of a weird like detail to put into this very specific story and suggests like that you're hearing you know a big fish story where it's like oh this thing it came up and swallowed the boat whole and you just kind of have to take it with a grain of salt like there's also a commentary from people in the town it happened off cape cod in provincetown and they're like who's anyone else we'd think it was bullshit but this guy he has crazy stories is very convincing

and it's like he's a good storyteller or is he maybe just the most full of shit guy in town there's just like no one's up Nick no one realizes that he's just been lying the whole time right I had people like that I know growing up who like if you wrote down all the shit

that happened to them on paper, you're like, you're the most interesting person alive or the biggest lying sack of shit on earth. He's the only guy in Cape Town who lies. No one else knows how to lie there. Yeah. All right.

Well, Kyle, Anna, as always, such a pleasure having you. I guess not as always. This is the first time we've had both of you. Well, so 100% of the time so far. But as always, amazing to be on a chat with you guys. To share the joy of our Zoom meetings with the outside world.

Where can people find you, follow you, hear you, hear Truth Hounds? I mean, on Truth Hounds. Yeah, on Truth Hounds yeah truth hounds please listen to it we really we think first of all we think that it's really good we do think it's we think it's really good stuff i think it's really good really hard on it we did work really hard on it harder than a podcast well so here should be a way to describe it is that at one point we were worried what if someone else does it but we also realized that no one actually has this much time yeah like do something like this nothing similar exists because no one would put this much time into

something anything so hopefully our argument is and if you we are we are actively looking into investigations and you can go to the truth hounds instagram page it's at truth hounds on instagram and then on twitter it's at the truth hounds yeah we have this little tip we have a tip line up there just look for the story with the dog on it who's investigating there's a number to call one warning a better tip line is that if you do something that's not juicy not serious and not safe for us and not safe we will clown on you we'll clown on you yeah so publicly that's a warning that's a warning right here right now don't try to you know do something cuckoo bananas we will clown on your ass we will come yeah you'll get for people who are about to check out

the show they say okay this i want to hear more tell them a little bit about the first episode that's out what it's about just so they can get an idea of what exactly these mysteries or these cases or these larger questions that you're trying to answer well the first one i think is a great insight into how the rest of the show goes which is um we come up with this question which is why are some people always late um i think it's a question that i mean we all have friends who you know you expect them to come about five ten minutes late and it's just like why why do i have to do gymnastics around your tardiness? Why do I have to carry five bags and accommodate you?

You're always going to be late. Exactly. We look into what's up with that. What's up with that one guy who's always late? Yeah. And we go out of our way to investigate that. To figure it out. Analyze the many different kinds of late people to come to the right conclusions.

Exactly. As funny as the show is, I also feel like I will never look at late people and my own tardy behavior the same way again after listening to the episode. Well, hopefully we brought a little bit of insight into how your very selfish actions also impact others. Oh, of course. So, yeah. So, yeah, we kind of go,

we basically go, we do whatever it takes to get to the bottom of these mysteries. And sometimes the mysteries are why does Kyle look really good in hats? You know, so it's not all. It's not all dangerous or scary. But I mean, we do have scarier episodes.

So we have an episode called Why Are People Mean? And we have to deal with mean people. And that's. We've all been there. And that's scary as hell. That's scary. Yeah. But we obviously come out unscathed.

For the journeys you took, alongs and and just that you you y'all really roll your sleeves up and get into the material so um even as mundane as it that's like the genius of this show and yeah i'm stoked for people to listen to it thank you miles thank you thank you we're so excited for you to listen yeah we're so excited and where can where can people find you guys individually when you're not hounding the truth? When we're not hounding the truth, hard to picture that because that's what all of our free time goes to. When we're managing our own accounts, this is really important.
