Hey, what's going on it's me yudoye aka young dude who watches too much anime aka uh old dude who watches too much anime depending on who you talk to uh what's up oh man no not much you know just how's how's new york how's how's what's new over there oh it's all right i just got back um so i've been i've been at my apartment mostly okay what do you mean you just

got back from i was in uh new york you mean the streets of new york or yeah i was in i was on the streets of new york i was just you know just got just got back home uh no i was in uh i was in butte montana of all places oh okay what were you doing in montana i was in bte, Montana, of all places. Hmm? Okay. What were you doing in Montana? I was in Montana. Biker rally? Yeah, I was going to just hanging out with some of my biker friends. It was kind of a lot of us just kind of packed into a parking lot.

Just shaking hands, hugging, kissing. No typical biker shit um yeah no i i was uh i was i was shooting a movie oh shit oh cool yeah what was that like on set because i know i mean i having friends and family in production it's it seems like a lot more going a lot more work especially for crew yeah it's um i've been I've been tested four times in the past week, I think. Wow. Just to make sure I'm not sick. And there was a period where I was not allowed to leave my room.

And also the hotel might have been haunted. So I think that was unrelated to it. I think that would have been the case regardless of COVID. But it was it was just i mean it's basically the premise of the shining it's just that instead of a blizzard keeping you uh inside the hotel it is the coronavirus pandemic but you still can't go outside pandemic and also a lot of racist people hold on jack we got it we got a script going there oh is it a pit in that one were you uh able to feel the local racism in butte it was weird because i've i feel like um because of covid asian people are getting it harder than black people right now and so there was an asian dude on cast who definitely felt it i felt like people were being too nice to me like i heard how that pendulum swings yeah

like two people asked me for money on the street and then i went back and talked to the rest of the cast was like people asking you for money and all of them were like no nobody's asked any of us i was like oh it's like this weird thing where they feel like they have to ask me because they're like oh he's not like guaranteed to be poor anymore. It's not like that. Oh, interesting. Black people have money. Black people have money.

It's like, you're a rich person in my mind. I'm not racist. Yeah. Also, one of them was Australian, which was very weird to me. So they were begging on the street and they were Australian? It was a whole Australian man with blonde dreadlocks i was just gonna ask if he had dreadlocks yes he absolutely did he was exactly the type of person you think he was uh and it just made me feel sad i was like you gave up health insurance

and live in a mining town yeah in a place where your dreads aren't gonna fly all the time you know like you might be safer in australia with those dreads aren't going to fly all the time. You might be safer in Australia with those dreads. Yeah. It's got to be a rough climate to be unhoused in. Yeah. Yeah, it's probably pretty bad. But I don't know. It was just a very weird place.

There was also one bar that everybody told me very specifically not to go into because nobody was wearing a mask. And I walked outside one day and there was just one dude standing outside in this haunted ass town, two teeth in his mouth. And he looked at me and I looked back at him and he goes, hey, man, you OK? I was like, no. And he goes, hey, man, you okay? I was like, no. I'm sorry.

And then he points to the bar that everybody told me to not go into. And he just goes, you ever been in here before? And I was like, no. And I don't plan to. And I kept moving. Yeah. All right, think about it. All right, sir, I will. I'll think about brushing my teeth as soon as I get back

Wow Interesting Yeah, it's a weird place That's about what I would have expected How's the weather in New York? Are you guys still in shorts? Because we have people dunking on us from Brooklyn Being like, oh man, it's fantastic

Ball me You know what, it's not bad it's um i especially coming from like 19 degree weather is a good time you know oh yeah you must be like you're in a tank top now oh yeah reflective panel and a sun chair oh yeah i'm out shirt off sitting on the roof just uh tanning but at like as a bit right right yeah like it's not it's not doing anything it's just yeah just to fuck with the google earth photographer yeah yeah all right let's uh tell the people what we're listening to and then we'll get to know you a little bit better in a moment there is another uh new vaccine trial that was made public and that one is 94.5 effective the last one that we were all impressed with was 90 so the wow they're they're

nailing these vax recipes right look at that chef who are they who were they testing who are they testing on uh i think americans actually i think oh yeah yeah yeah white americans i hope i think anybody who was willing to i think yeah yeah yeah okay just very nervous always very nervous you know yeah no yeah the i'm sure that for all the talk of like the vaccines now we'll see how racist is it is when they talk about the deployment to get the vaccines yeah first yeah yeah who needs it first the people who they need to get the vaccines to first. Who needs it first? The people who can afford to stay inside and not do anything? Or the people who are actually out there day to day

doing essential work that is vital to our lives moving? Has anybody talked about that yet? Like in Contagion, what is turning out to be a documentary, the way they did it was by social security number, I think, or something along those lines.

Oh, like the draft? Where do they start? Where do they start? From one? Yeah, they start from one. The person who has social security number is one. Yeah, dust off the Brian McKnight memes again, if that really is the way they do it,

because that'd be like how they're giving to the vaccine with social security numbers. One, making them true. Oh, I thought you were talking about the other brian mcknight song where he goes let me show you how your pussy works right it's like thanks dr mcknight we're gonna talk about we're beyond contact tracing so all we can do right now is kind of speculate as to how people are catching coronavirus uh because it's kind of going out of control so we'll talk about that we'll talk about the weekend that trump and his supporters had uh we'll talk about how lockdown is affecting our memories we'll check in with ellen we'll check

in with a fight club uh might even check in with Parler if we have the time. All of that and plenty more. But first, Yedoye, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Okay, so I was in Montana for the past week, and the last two things on my search history are, one, the count from Sesame Street sesame street and two liquor store near me i see how those two seconds of each other why why the count you know what i don't remember

oh you know what it was it was uh it was when they were uh talking about stopping the count for the election stop and i yeah yeah and i and i. And I quote tweeted somebody with a picture of the count and said, bitch, you ain't stopping shit. Yeah, I think I liked that tweet actually. That laugh really is the best way to dunk on somebody too. It's so fake.

I've never heard fuck you be more elegant than fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Two, ah. Fuck. Two, three. 14,000 votes.

Trump is losing by ah, ah, ah, ah, ah. Wait for the recount. Wait for the recount. That's all I got to say. Wait for the recount. It's going to be 13,999. That's right. What is something you think is overrated overrated i'm gonna say uh state socialism uh socialism by governments doesn't is a thing that doesn't

really work you can start at the ground floor you know grassroots things right talk about the dsa do i do not trust them really you know you get some it's very useful things that they can uh that they have the power to pass if they were to come into power but that's not the type of socialism that we need in the law oh you're saying just because the numerically there's not enough there to actually affect things versus but like on a community level like more through like mutual aid networks and things like that we're able to have more substantive ways to to help each other exactly i'm saying governments are uh not the way to bring about socialism necessarily. People need to be thinking about what goals are in their workplace,

which is also a dictatorship. Right. That's how billionaires get made. Don't talk spicy to that person. Fuck that dude. This is true. Fuck that dude. He makes a billion dollars and you got...

And they have a food drive for their own employees. Right, right, right. Fuck that dude he makes a billion dollars and you got and and they have a food drive for their own employees right right right yeah come on yeah you do identify as a socialist on your twitter bio so like you you're just skeptical of waiting around for it to come top down of Skeptical of, you know, just, they're not going to let you vote in socialism. Right. They're not going to do it. That's a good way to put it. Put in a lot of energy into, into violently suppressing socialist government.

So why are they going to let it happen here? You know? Right, right, right. Yo. I'm reading the, the book about the Bush family,

the family of Secrets. Oh, yeah. Because Choppa was talking about that on their podcast. And that really puts the whole how violent they're willing to be in suppressing anything that isn't white supremacy and conservative politics. They'll kill you oh yeah oh yeah get away with it too they will it's about death it's not like energetically it's not about

growth it's about death like yeah because you're you're saying we're fixed now here and fuck anything else so that means anything that's trying to get me to expand i'm fucking destroying because i'm going to stay fixed in this position i will not experience growth the energy that i put out is to fuck people up who are trying to create growth right that's really all it boils down to other people this is life change is life you know i mean good or bad shit evolving that's fucking life conservatives not about that they're about fucking stagnating and just holding on to this fucking thing till it just kills everybody conserving the existing order which they happen to uh be at the top of and control uh funny how that works uh what is something you think is

underrated oh uh making out without having sex sometimes you just gotta get a little kiss in you know yeah yeah oh man hugging and kissing man i remember that kissing and hugging yeah there's something about like when i like when i was single like i don't know like when you make out and you're single is different it hits different oh yeah no shot at my partner her match we talk about this all the time she's like is it the same or it's like you almost like when you first start dating someone you make out wild even before you have sex because it's like we're not having sex because we're making out right this is like what it's all

the energies and the kissing and hugging you know what i'm about hugging and kissing kissing and we just hugging and kissing and kissing and hugging you gotta like is there something about uh kissing specifically that was resonant that you were feeling like what happened to someone that occurred to you did you have a nice encounter? I don't know, man. Sometimes you just end up in a position where you're just like, I don't necessarily want to have sex right now, but I like you.

I'm trying to kiss on you. Yeah. Sometimes it sucks. People can't kiss good or kiss right. You have to reconcile styles. Some people do the little turtle tongue. Oh, yeah.

I don't like that. You're not really making it up. It's just like peeking out. It's like looking like a turtle eating an apple slice. And you're like, no. We need that sloppy yoppy. The passionate. Wow.

We're learning things about Miles' style. Oh, yeah. Listen to me on 420 Day Fiancé. It gets nasty20 that's so that's so wild though if they give you the little turtle kisses to think the rest is gonna be better yeah right right right if at that point it's not good i'm gonna be like hey you know what let me just let me just uh call an uber right now get out of my house there was uh somebody it's fully their house

there's somebody went to a different high school than me and i'm not going to give any details but they had they were a turtle kisser and somebody was like yo they kiss like a turtle and you know you're 16 so everybody's wild toxic and then uh one of their friends was like no like they have like that thing under their tongue is like attached too far ahead of their front, like the front of their tongue. Yeah. So it doesn't allow for them. Is that what that's called? Yeah.

Whatever you want to call it. The thing that's making you look like a loser in high school is what we called it. But yeah, that. And then they got a procedure to correct it. And then they were out here fucking like lizard face. Just like, man, you got the pride of that tongue now. Yeah. Yeah. It was like, so it was a nice, it was it was a nice comeback you love to see it yeah you know what i mean yeah oh man that's a glow yeah i love to see it that was uh when when my uh two-year-old was born the there was a doctor

who came through yeah yeah no yeah. No big deal. I got kids. One of the few people who's able to pull that off. But the doctor came through the delivery room and gave us this really dark speech about why we should have our sons' fremulum clipped. About how kids are so cruel. And their kid had a fremulum like clipped about like how like kids are so cruel and like their kid had like a fremulum that was too connected and then they spoke with a speech impediment and it was just like yo this is wow this is um textured already and dark yeah hey i want to give i want to set this parental boat off on the right foot and just give you a bunch of things to be in your head about right yeah yeah just make sure at a young age that your son can kiss good yeah that's what she also

mentioned that yeah and doesn't have a speech impediment i'm like what four-year-old speaks clearly you know what i mean like you'll the whole time like oh fuck we had the frenulum cut and they're still talking like oh you know i don't't know, whatever. I haven't been around enough kids to remember how kids talk, but yes. Kids are cruel. Scary. That's what she said. That's what it is. So frenulum is apparently any small fold of tissue that secures the motion of a mobile organ.

So the one under the tongue, I guess, technically is one of many. You got one in your brain, you got one in your digestive tract, your oral tissue is the mouth one, penile tissue, and volvular tissue. All fremulums.

Yeah, yeah. I can't kiss because my fremulum. Fremulum. Alright alright let's take a quick break let's take a quick break 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. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified.

Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this?

Hello, everyone. I am Lacey Lamar. 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.

Daphne Spring, Daniel Thrasher,

Peppermint, Morgan J, and more. You gotta watch us. No, you mean you have to listen to us. I mean, you can still watch us, but you gotta listen. Like, if you're watching us,

you have to tell us. Like, if you're out the window, you have to say, hey, I'm watching you outside of the window. Just, you know what? Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre

situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked voila you got straight away i felt like i was living in north korea but worse if that's possible listen to spiraled on the vaccine front other than to say

that's great uh it's moderna is the uh company and they expect to be able to get about 20 million out this year so that's super dope uh hopefully yeah hopefully we find who gets it yeah hopefully we find a fair way to distribute um i wish there was a way for you to like defer yours to give it to like a essential worker you know what i mean because like yeah i feel like they're i god you just hope that that's you know the this administration, I mean, if you acknowledge the Biden administration, because I don't watch fake Fox News, because I'm here to stop the steal. But if they come into power, which looks like it will happen,

if they are going to have humane policies, or it's just going to be like, or we'll do it so rich people can front their essential workers and they can get it real quick. There's a way to game it, quick. There's a way to game it because there's always a way to game it. And that's what I'm really concerned because I would want nothing more.

I would feel very fucked up and guilty knowing I was having access to this shit and knowing I have the privilege to scream in my bedroom all day for work. Just thinking about the, you compared it to the draft, thinking about the fact that college students were able to defer like you couldn't hopefully you couldn't get away with that shit now right

now that like we've kind of uncovered the fact that college is just like a training ground for like class classism hopefully they're not like well uh're going to give it to college students first. No. Yeah. Because I know Fauci has been like, they say high risk. A high risk population will get it first. And I'm sure that's like with people with like comorbidities, like when they mean like physically, like if you got it, you fucked around and you cannot find out what it'll do to you.

So yes. Right. Give them the vaccine. People with asthma. Right. And then you'd hope after that it's like okay and then now if you have to go to like you're working alongside people and you're at a higher risk because of the nature of your work right please give that to those people uh but just by definition you could just safely say it's black and brown people uh just looking

at the data that you would want to emphasize where this is going, aside from the elderly. But we look at the deaths and the hospitalizations, it's disproportionately hitting black and brown people. Yeah, yeah. In Chicago, it's something wild. Like one in three Latinx people, the infection rate is like one in three, like 30%. It's really, really.

I think it's the same in Georgia, isn't it? Yeah, I mean, like every city has their version. But like when you look at shit like that, It's really, really... I think it's the same in Georgia, isn't it? Yeah, I mean, like, every city has their version, but, like, when you look at shit like that, you're like, how can you, like, how can any, well, I know how administrations can continue to ignore this shit

because it costs money and it eats into people's, you know, yacht money, but you'd hope, fuck, like, look at that and say, this is a very easy thing. The problem presented itself to us and now we can go directly at it and handle it yeah yeah they always have just enough evidence to uh convince

themselves that it's not a race thing they always have just enough you know right and in this case it is also you know a poverty thing but that tends to skew heavily black and brown uh okay but 94.5 that's good efficacy man yeah that's really good i mean 90 we were shocked and 94 is well like 50 right they would be like okay you got to hit at least 50 yeah or whatever those right and now there's something that we'd be willing to distribute yeah yeah because i mean the we'll still do flu flu shots in years when it's like i think they've been as low as 20 percent right so man i was just listening to like people who you know i respect who have politics that like are not you know they're not like uh right-wing anti-vaxxers but they were like yeah i'd never get flu shots i

would never i would never get flu shots and yeah that's it's a precious mindset big difference between uh never get and would never get right right right yeah yeah it's like i just haven't had insurance for a while i'm just lazy what's your problem all right let's talk about how covet is currently spreading now you know We're still ahead of mass distribution of any vaccines, and the numbers are the worst they've ever been. And we're seeing that it's worse in rural counties now than it is in cities, despite the fact that in its natural state, the disease would spread more in cities because there's just more contact between people and more environments where you would be transmitting, transmitting the disease from one person to the other.

But right now it is raging out of control in places like South Dakota, Montana, you know? So I don't know. This time magazine, I've always said time is currently a garbage publication. Montana, you know. So I don't know. This Time magazine, I've always said Time is currently a garbage publication. Oh, God, yeah. And they wrote this article that treated it as a mystery that Trump got the most support in counties where the virus is the worst.

Yeah. They're like, I don't know. I mean, maybe, you know, they're just... Voters said that coronavirus was the most important factor in choosing who they voted for. And then the fact that Trump voters

were in counties where it was the worst, it's obviously because Trump has told them not to wear masks. And so the causal direction is not that they live in counties where the disease is bad and are therefore Trump supporters. It's that they're Trump supporters. And the culture in those counties is such that it's seen as shameful to wear a mask or like behave as as everybody's disease is dangerous yeah you're not gonna come over and kick it raw with the homies okay i see you oh wow you okay you don't cover

up okay would you a sailor i don't know what the fuck yeah it's it's it's just again it's all about just like feeling of not wanting to be in touch with your own mortality i mean that's like yeah some of the yeah you know, it just turns out in counties where people love to sin, people also like the devil a lot. People love the devil. Yeah. In these high sin counties. Right, right. There was a nurse in

South Dakota who was talking about how like multiple of her patients, it's not just like one-off, but like many of her patients in South Dakota who died of covid insist that covid isn't real like with their dying breaths you want me to play that clip yeah yeah yeah she's she was actually on cnn here she is yeah i think the hardest thing to watch is that people are still looking for something else and they want a magic answer and they don't want to

believe that covid is real and the reason i tweeted what I did is it wasn't one particular patient. It's just a culmination of so many people. And their last dying words are, this can't be happening. It's not real. And when they should be spending time FaceTiming their families, they're filled with anger and hatred. Wow. That's fucking dark uh yeah you know you on some level you think like at a certain point like wow like this could be happening but when you've full like to that point where you are completely in denial about what has happened

to you that sounds fucking fucking awful but fuck yeah this can't be happening it's not real it's like you're in this icu and yeah we're telling you and i oh man but yeah that being the mortality can fucking just shake people to their core and i think if it's not you know i think it's i don't know somewhat cultural too like you're how death is treated in your culture like if it's something that's like oh my god it's the worst thing that could ever happen i never wanted to happen anyone like that can definitely you're setting yourself up to have a lot to to push back against too other times if death is very normal or like the process of it is seen as like part of the pattern of how you live and move and how life moves and it may be a little

bit different but i mean regardless of you know what their beliefs are that got into that point just the idea to be so hopeless and helpless um and like be have your physical body expiring and you're in total state of disbelief but it sounds like shit i think of when i'm like too high yeah but being like but that's real you know yeah like yeah a little bit of acid that's when you think about that type of stuff yeah you're like what if you didn't like you don't want it to happen but you have to die anyway but it doesn't seem real and then they're telling you just like oh no no please stop please stop please stop yeah wow yeah i mean i think this is also a good indication that for anybody who thinks like this shit is going away after trump or that like trump trumpism is a like small simple like you know he just figured some hack out

uh these people are like willing to die for this shit like yeah stupid i mean that's just like how deep the like american propaganda machine goes like that's not just like they didn't just start being susceptible to things like that because trump got elected you know that's right got elected because they were susceptible to beliefs like that that's you know and it's based on such a fucking strong foundation of misinformation where you're just like okay you just don't even like have a foundation of knowledge to say like this is the reality that i'm seeing right in front of me you know what i'm saying yeah it's like it's all like the reality is completely derived off of like cues they get from the tv or their facebook feed like

that's where they like there's no thinking happening inside it's like okay what are they saying today okay that's what's real because so many times I was watching a lot of clips too and like live streams from the MAGA rally in DC and hearing people even try and actually explain what's happening. Like there wasn't a single person who could articulate what they were pushing back against, what their risks were for them personally

that was motivating them in the first place. And it was all just boilerplate like fox news talking points of like i love the constitution and joe biden is against it and they're like well what do you mean it's like oh well you know we're not gonna have freedom and it's like what does but like but what about for you personally i mean this is just it's just the wrong direction i don't know trump's good for us and they're like women like well what happened like for women what is there's anything specific i mean look what he did for the this how many ceilings he broke in his cabinet with women and they're like what do you mean it's like well

through women through the ceiling yeah i don't know like even then like the concept of like the glass ceiling wasn't even it was a thing that they heard but hadn't fully like lived or experienced or understood to be able to say like that is actually why i'm it resonates with me it's sort of like i don't know man i'm just taking what i'm just regurgitating what i'm hearing and that's become my belief system yeah yeah oh one of the best clips i saw in the past couple days is a dude like explaining is only tangentially connected but explaining like the causes of the civil war and he was like yeah this slavery was only one of the causes you know there were several causes the guy's like okay well name three he's like well i'm not a historian uh oh yeah oh i know that clip right yeah and then he's like a clan member or

something yeah and he's like well it's about tyranny and uh and he's like what is tyranny tyranny is when you know you uh you you take away somebody's liberties too much. And he goes, oh, you mean like slavery? Right. He's just speechless. Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop. Yeah, like that's hard. But yeah, but again, that's what's unfortunate is that these people are able to hear these messages.

They resonate for whatever reason, and then they just move forward with that. And it's the same way too. Like even with the patterns in voting trump was thriving in the places that were economically dying yeah and again and that makes total sense because for like for all the times people would be like i don't understand how republicans can just vote against their own interests it's not that they're voting against their own interests they've just been hypnotized into believing that their the state they're in is due to these completely bullshit reasons that have nothing to do with why that's the situation.

They're on the diet of xenophobia and racism rather than understanding economics and the greed that exists within the corporate class. And they have this belief that voting against their interests now is not going to be the case in a few years because they're eventually going to be a millionaire or billionaire. And so they do have to worry about Joe Biden's tax plan or whatever, when in reality they have the fucking, you know. There was that one meme. I don't know if you saw. It looked like a college dorm room that was just inundated with like soda beer cans pizza boxes like video game remotes and like the guys like playing games he's like yeah i'm just worried about biden's tax plan and that's the only thing for me you're like yeah that's this looks about right yeah yeah uh kai choice uh on twitter had one of these uh posted one of those

like and uh amazon just like shitty tables the one you just like screw together she was like yeah if you got this table in your living room you don't got to worry about biden's tax plan right right exactly there are a lot of memes like that it's like if your walls look like this and it was like vertical wood paneling from like the 80s and 70s like you ain't got to worry about the tax plan yeah man i Man, I wish Biden was as far to the left as those people are worried that he is. Yeah. Right? They think it's the second coming of the fucker.

Who knows? My favorite thing about this whole election process is at every turn, the Republican talking point is basically like, hey, that dude's a good person. And then the Democrats are like, no, no, no, I am absolutely not. I am not. I am for fracking. no, no, no, I am absolutely not. I am not. I stand for fracking. I am not a socialist.

I am. Right. Right. Nope. Yeah. Fuck the earth. I'm here to fuck the earth just like y'all, guys. I'm all in on earth fucking. I'll blow it up right the fuck now.

No, you want to frack right now? Try me. Actually, we just changed our campaign. Biden-Harris, frack around and find out. I'll displace an indigenous person right now. Try me. Right, right. For these votes in small pockets of the country.

Yeah, that was really something. One of the people the Biden campaign has announced as part of their transition team was somebody who had vocally supported separation of uh we had to defend it legally in court right right yeah yeah legally sorry legally and vocally uh cecilia muñoz yeah yeah uh john also the dude who's running in the runoff in uh georgia for senate and did an interview where he just rattled off a bunch of points where he's like no i don't support medicare for all no i don't support free college or whatever and all these things i'm just like yeah but you just did it's not good you're doing that over this yeah no come on but again it's uh but that shows you too i don't who knows what you know what kind of leash pulling is happening at the dnc to be like you want me to we can cut this money off from over here yeah if you want but also they need to like democrats need

to put asses in the seats so you should just be like okay what worked in georgia let's listen to the fucking people on the ground that did it with barely little money rather than the bloombergs of the world that farted away a hundred million and all for what all that spending in florida and you completely missed missed the fucking what the actual activity was on the ground i think bloomberg was just trying to buy his way onto snl right like could you imagine how bad yeah he's just like i really just love fred armisen's work you know i think he uh I think he's the ideal person to portray me. And I'll drop 100 mil to get it done. I'll do it.

I'll buy the show. Don't test me. I'll buy NBC. But I'll do it incredibly indirectly in a way that doesn't make sense at all. The most roundabout way. Yeah, and it's not clear what my intent is at all with just going back to the the out of control spread of covet 19 like it is a situation where so the the curve is basically the same across america right it's just that it's like slightly lower uh like the biden counties are below the trump counties, but they, they have the same,

they're drawing the same picture. Direction. Yeah. Same directionally. They're the same. Um, and people in Germany, uh,

are beyond contact tracing. Like basically they, they're saying that over 50%, uh, of the new cases in these countries, including the United States, Germany, France, uh, the UK,

don't know Spain, don't know where these new cases are coming from. Whereas in Asian countries that did contact tracing from the beginning, they are still able to figure out, okay, you got it from this person and kind of map it out a little bit whereas in the united states it's just like we're flying blind essentially and i think it has to do with the individualism to death we're individualisming ourselves to death uh yeah just can't think like that you know what when we tried to do contact tracing, I think we did a maximum of four contacts. And in Korea, I think it was 10 contacts. So they're able to understand, I think, just conceive of people as part of a collective.

As part of a planet, country if you will that you are a nation in which you want to look out for your people and citizens is what the white house says the fucking rest of this country yeah yeah yeah speaking of uh uh uh uh trump conceded wait no he didn't he had a tweet over the weekend where he was like Biden won because the election was rigged no vote watchers or observers allowed and everyone was like wait he won because

ok so wait you said he won wait a second three seconds later yeah he tweets he only won in the eyes of the fake news media I concede nothing Wait a second. Three seconds later. Yeah. He tweets. He only went in the eyes of the fake news media. I can see nothing. We have a long way to go.

This was a rigged election. It's like someone being like, yo, did you? It feels like someone texted him. Like, not that this happened, but the kind of shit is like he tweeted that. And someone goes, yo, did you concede, bro? Right. He's like, nah. What the fuck are you talking about? Like, yo, your tweet looked like you conceded, bro.

I'm not going to lie. This just looks like some straight concession stand shit. I concede nothing. I've conceded nothing. Yeah. He's like, I believe in nothing. I'm an nihilist. I believe in nothing.

Yeah. I concede nothing. Okay. I get it. I get it. So, yeah, that was an interesting back and forth. Meanwhile, then he's just tweeting, firing off all kinds of just chock full of bullshit tweets about the election and the results, as you would believe he would. And all that during the Million MAGA March. They were, you know, unfortunately, well, I'm just saying in D.C., they were only able to conjure about 10,000 people up to show up for this thing.

And, you know, it I mean, it was however, there were violent clashes between these people and, you know, counter protesters. But they had so much police protection. Some of these clips I was watching, I thought I was looking at a like city sanctioned parade through the city rather than some kind of protest it felt like there were police on the perimeter and be like yep just don't keep waving your confederate flags in the streets no problem here

I wish I remembered who said this but somebody was like when people ask where are the police when the KKK shows up where the fuck is Peter Parker when uh Spider-Man shows up exactly like the same dude uh wow I mean that's pretty good all there is this hologram police officer yeah this other thing is like they the other screams that are going on is all like fuck Fox News we're done with Fox the big thing where there are people being like joe biden we reject joe biden he's not

our president we will do whatever we have to and people are like it's funny like even when this dude is screaming till his like jugular is blowing out his neck like even the people around him are like yeah like and he's like we gotta take our country back uh-huh this is on fox news this is just like random you know on twitter looking at people do live feeds other journalists just capturing clips of like the you know pockets of activity throughout the million maga march but it's just interesting because like it really is this energy of i granted there were many democrats who were like not my president or whatever but not in the sense that it was like i'm i'm rebelling against the the country like because it's not like those aren't the exact

stakes for people but these people are like acting like joe bynum is not my new dad and he never will be so don't ask me to call him dad and it's just like yo what what do we do with that energy you know what i mean like i feel like because in one way if it were the step child or parent situation like okay i'm not your dad okay so then you're gonna you're gonna start paying these bills you're gonna go to work right you're gonna have to start cooking and cleaning like i don't know if there's a way to step dad uh these mega people but it that energy is definitely there of yeah just like with their body being like he's not the president i don't care what anyone says yeah he's like oh i'm not the i'm not the president okay all but you care what anyone says. Yeah. He's like, oh, I'm not the president?

Okay, Alba, you got to order these drone tracks. You got to... Right. So who's going to do these war crimes? Yeah. Who's going to... Who's going to install... Who's going to do these war crimes?

Who's going to install a neoliberal despot in the global south, huh? You? Right. You? You? Because it's not going to be me if i'm not the president okay okay all right i bet you don't even you couldn't even point to yemen on a map that's what i that's what i thought yeah point to the oil rich nations on the on the map huh

on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you stream podcasts and we're back and uh before we move on from the Trump administration's response to the election, we want to check in with their legal cases because, you know, this is the fate of the country hangs in the balance. Are they going to be able to stop that steal? So, I mean, dude, they took some fucking ass kickings in the court over the last few days like we're like to the point where the judge is like bro you're wasting my time with this shit uh and you know on sunday on the sunday shows every like uh like i

believe every republican senator declined to go and meet the press. No one wanted to talk to anyone about anything. So then Fox News kind of became this weird graveyard. And what they did was, at a certain point, Sidney Powell, who was on the legal team for Trump's steel-stopping squad, came on to talk to Maria Bartiromo. And just so you know, to this over the weekend trump was like i now proclaim rudy giuliani spearhead of all of my legal efforts and we're like thank god he followed his worst instincts on this and hired this horny old goblin who doesn't know how

to wear airpods so this uh moment we have sydney powell coming on maria bartiromo she's trying you know like she's definitely all in to try and help the president, but even throwing underhanders to his legal team, like they can't fucking articulate a single thing, like not even anything that resembles a legal argument. So this is Sidney Powell with some real low energy scamming about how the president actually has millions of votes that need to be counted because we're fixing to overturn the results of the election in multiple states and president trump won by not just hundreds of thousands of votes but by millions of votes that were shifted by this software that was designed expressly for that purpose so they're talking about the dominion voting machines which is the new thing the last, we talked about it at the end of last week, right?

Yeah, because it wasn't the other things. It wasn't the poll watchers. They're like hot potato, like jumping from rock to rock. Like, no, it's actually about this now. No, okay, that one didn't work. Now it's about this. So Bartiromo actually follows up because, you know, like anything, she's like, okay, great.

Like, great. So millions of votes. How do we do this? Like, put us on. Put me on. Get the people. Give us a taste. Drop the mixtape. We have so much evidence. I feel like it's coming in through a fire hose. Wow. So, Sidney, you feel that you will be able to prove this. Do you have the software in your possession? Do you have the hardware in your possession? How will you prove this, Sidney?

Well, I've got lots of ways to prove it, Maria, but I'm not going to tell on national TV what all we have. I just can't do that. Okay, but you have a very time-frozen... Okay. That feels like when you ask a kid, who who broke the vase so they're like no no uh uh it wasn't it wasn't you know because you told me not to yo oh you got oh you got a girlfriend who goes to san diego state university you in eighth grade how you got a girlfriend who goes to college prove it i have to prove it to you i have to prove it yeah i got um you know yeah yeah no i just

that's my cousin you think i'm a i'm not gonna flex in front of everybody like that you know yeah i'm gonna flex like that that's in poor taste i'm not gonna dunk on the nation on fox news right now but yeah it really is even everything like it's like we've got it in a fire hose and uh millions of like even they're just exhausted so much evidence coming like it's like we've got it in a fire hose and uh millions of like even they're just exhausted so much evidence coming in it's like it's not gonna happen the legal route any fuckery is gonna have to happen some other way what if i just watched walked on stage uh at a show was just like yeah bro i got so many fucking jokes you don't even know i got like i'm i got look i'm not gonna do them all right now

because i i don't want to like blow the whole thing but like i got oh i got jokes for days you don't even understand yeah like gotta save it for the special oh i'm just writing yo i gotta you know it's gonna go on netflix you can watch it on netflix later but like right i can't do it all right now i can't do it all right now i've been like you know you know what i'm saying i've just been writing so much i got so many thoughts in my head it's like it's coming out of a fire hose i can tell you what a couple of the jokes are about but i can't tell you the actual jokes right here on right it's actually more like... Okay, then you're not a comedian. Yeah.

It's actually more like you're on Netflix doing your special that is on national TV and you're like, I can't waste these jokes on national TV. On Netflix?

What if HBO calls? Are you paying me to do this? What if HBO calls, huh? What if? I won't do it on HBO either. Oh, shit. But believe these jokes What if HBO calls? What if? I won't do it on HBO either. Oh, shit. But believe these jokes are top rate.

A1. And the Stop the Steal. Did they stop the steal? Do we know? The people who showed up? They did not. Trump did drive by them at one point on his way to go golfing and it was interesting to hear the people's response to that, where they were just like, he drove by. There was an eyewitness, a journalist account of somebody who was just hunched down, rocking back and forth, being like, he was right there.

I saw him with my own eyes. If he passes away before 2024, the mental gymnastics these people are going to do, I can't even imagine. There's no way on earth where there's not some conspiracy tied to however he physically expires, whether through old age or anything. It's like, no, man, you see the doctor that was working on him went to this school and his professor was this guy who actually knows Van Jones and blah, blah, blah. It's like, oh, fuck. Yeah. In reality, he just leaned too far forward. Yeah, right.

Those lifts were a little too much on the back. Yeah, he died looking like Michael Jackson in the Smooth Criminal video. Right. Got his heels hooked in his heels hooked in a fucking floorboard and just fell over yeah right yeah he does not look stable on his feet all right let's talk about what this lockdown is doing to our brains uh miles you brought a article from the bbc about a kind of a study or i don't know were they using science or speculation well they are

using science and then just what neuro neuroscientists just know to be true about how our brains work yeah like and and a lot of people like experts themselves experiencing it too um i've noticed like older family yeah yeah like my grandfather he's 93 and he he used to go to like his church social group and do shit like that but it's all old people that he hangs out with, so that's gone now, and he's less talkative. I mean, it's very pronounced, they say, especially convalescent homes and old folks' homes, for lack of a better term. for lack of a better term. And so they're saying, you know, the lack of socializing and isolation is definitely a contributing factor

to how like our memories are even being formed and stored. So, you know, the isolation part, I think most people can figure out because yeah, like we're just, we've completely changed the rhythm of our days. But, you know, a lot of things is like, it's these smaller conversations where if we don't feel, you know, like any kind of talk you have by the refrigerator, a water cooler, by the elevator, walking in somewhere, walking out somewhere.

Like we're always just like talking like we always just have something to talk about. We can talk about what we did last night, what we're doing this weekend, what even some dumb shit you talked about your friend with on the phone and that repetition of stories apparently they're saying that helps to actually keep our memories sort of consolidated and organized within our minds so like we they call them episodic memories so if we don't if we're missing on that socializing aspect it's it those things don't crystallize in the same way they do and like oh i'm i'm telling my weekend story three times today you know like you it's like you know that that momentum helps uh build our memories and then when we do get the chance to chat they're saying like because we are isolated and we aren't having we're not doing as much as we normally do we also have fewer stories to tell when we see each other like it's kind of

like we're almost like yeah how's it been like i don't like everyone's kind of in the same thing where we we look at the same we sit in the same place look at the same screen do the same thing and they're because of like this sort of cycle of very little change it slowly works its way into you know affecting our ability to form and recall memories because even like it's something as simple as people feel like holy shit like normally i can remember my fucking teachers from kindergarten on i can tell you every single fucking teacher i had and it's like the other day it took me 15 minutes to remember who this teacher was or whatever and that's all part of just kind of like we're not fully using all of those faculties as much as we can be as a result of this lockdown yeah i was i was saying uh i think early on like i had the same feeling as when i would always park in the same parking garage and like after it was like six

months of parking in the same parking garage because like all those memories just like kind of collapsed on each other i could never remember where the fuck my car was because it was just all like one endless expanse of memories of that parking garage i feel like same deal with now just like being at home constantly working recording from home you just don't have the those events that get your heart rate up a little bit where you go somewhere, drive to work, get mad at the person who cut you off, go to work, tell people about the person who cut you off. Just dumb shit that we take for granted that is what our brain is meant to have, that social interaction.

I'm loving the hell out of not having to, because I have social anxiety, not having to be anxious around people all the time. But I don't think overall it's good for my health and for my mental health. Yeah, that anxiety is good long term. I feel like this past week has been like the first, maybe like one of two times I've left New York. And definitely the only time I've left my home for an extended period i feel like it's the most and granted it was last week but i feel like it's just the most vivid string of memories that i've had in the past six months probably yeah because that's what it is

when we're just isolated and we've especially for people who work from home you just we don't have these cues that we normally have like even commuting right like you use your hippocampus to like navigate the earth to get home to your destination and when you don't do that that we're starting to like we're using that less and then also like everyone's on the same we sit in the same chair looking at the same zoom meetings talking to the same people like that also blends around and like this neuroscientist saying it's like it's like playing it's like you need black keys on a piano or else you don't know where the fuck you're at if it's all white keys yeah and that's what happens with our our memories because we're not really punctuating things properly like yeah they're there but our way to differentiate is completely

lost because we don't navigate like the roads like we used to. If we do things, it might be the same thing. So a way to get around that is something like as simple as like if you walk your dogs or you go on walks, go a completely fucking different route. Because most of the time we'll walk the same fucking route. Just be like, oh, it's time to do my walk or I'm going to go here. Do just do shit like that, because the more you're putting yourself in different different space you're now looking at new shit you might hear different shit it's just like these subtle changes too that can help go a long way and even if you're stuck at home and you really can't go outside like they say even just try something completely different

like if you've never fucked with puzzles like just fucking like give yourself something to try too because the more we can break up the monotony of it that's just going to help sort of give our you know lockdown lifestyles a little more texture that we can you know still remember things because if you said something to me about may the month of may i couldn't tell you a fucking thing no like i don't because we used to be like oh yeah because that was two months before the trip that I normally go on, which is in June. But because we don't have any of that, it's really important that we are giving ourselves like enough things to stimulate our minds, even though we're comfortable. But we still need that flexibility with our brains.

Yeah, I started I started skateboarding at twenty nine. And the last thing I remember before that is getting diarrhea in Ghana. It's too much palm oil yeah no i i i ate uh beach meat i eat meat on the beach i'd ate beach meat in ghana too i had goat on a skewer oh yeah you had suya yeah yeah it was pretty good that's what i had that's what i had yeah and i know people are like you want to do that i'm like i don't know they're eating it i'm good yeah you get sick no the thing that i got when i was in ghana was just the amount of palm oil like i wasn't used to palm oil oh yeah being in a lot of food so that was i think that was the one thing i had to get used to is the amount of palm oil that's used in cooking and stuff yeah that's been my

whole life i think i just like i hadn't been to uh africa since i was 16 i went to nigeria and i think my body just lost all the enzymes or whatever or maybe it was just cooked i don't know yeah either way right it's always funny telling people i got a stomach virus and then i say it was in ghana and they get so much more concerned like oh god like God, did you have visions? Oh my God. Did you see God? Yeah, no. Don't our cells

in our body completely swap out within a period of six years? Seven. Seven. That's wild. We're just completely new organisms seven years on. Seven to ten years. Damn. Okay.

I wish I knew when that was happening so I could be a little more on top of it. You're like, yo, man, I'm about to get my whole new cell shit up in about two months, bro. Let's talk. You know when it's all reset. Trust me, I will get to this project. I just need my shit to reset while my cells need to cycle out. You don't even know.

That'll definitely be a spa treatment in the future where you like go and they just like accelerate it. So like get all your cells switched out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Just like, yeah,

let me go re-up right quick. Oh shit. I like broccoli now. That's wild. Yeah. Cause I feel like that's the same, that's the same time period. They say your,

your sense of taste like evolves over. it's like every seven to ten years you oh right you start liking different foods by 20 i liked mushrooms finally yeah i hated mushrooms so i was 20 and that makes sense around if we're going by sevens and tens yeah damn that's wild i started doing mushrooms when i was like 15. oh no the psilocybin i was fucking oh before that but put that shit on a pizza um one thing that i'm probably not gonna do but some people are doing uh the nypd busted an illegal fight club uh over the weekend just uh just a warehouse of people beating the shit out of each other

in the Bronx. That's, yeah, I think it's just, like, you know, we've talked before about how, like, cuddle parties are something that our society evolved to, like, take the place of, you know, being around people and, you know, just having farm orgies or whatever people used to do that got written out of the history books.

Did you say farm orgies? I guess. I don't know. I don't know what we used to do. Probably some farm orgies. I don't know. Each their own, I guess. But yeah, we have ways of evolving so that we can get human contact.

And I feel like fighting people might be like one of those things that people are doing just like oh yeah i don't have a club yeah you you were in a fight club i was in a fight club in high school yeah really yeah very briefly wow in what state uh alabama obviously uh no we uh in a barn no i i went to a uh very weird high school that was kind of in the middle of nowhere and so i lived on campus it was a boarding school and so like i don't remember how it evolved i think somebody just got a pair of boxing gloves from home and it became a thing where we just like we would just like go to the gym like every night for a while and just fucking fight. Oh, just wailing each other?

Yeah, just beat each other's ass. And then a librarian was there super late one night and poked her head into the gym. Didn't say anything. But then the next day, they were like, hey, y'all can't do that. That's not okay. Like, obviously. She's like, hey, let me holler at you you you're telegraphing your jab man yeah she's like you're never gonna make it so just like just quit right now is not are you sure you're not a southpaw i was watching you you got

a lot of power anyway we'll talk about that it seemed like you got a lot of heart but not a lot of technique you know what i'm saying what a weird comedy that would be you're this kid this boarding school in a fight club and then the librarian is like this woman boxer tech coach like let me work with you okay i mean she was in the gym google doc she was in the gym right who knows what she was up to she was right exactly yeah she's just training other young prospects yeah i mean so was this but was this on, like, was this a product of pandemic, or they just finally caught on to the wild fight club that's been probably going on for a minute? I actually don't know.

I feel like that had to have been going on before. Yeah, probably. Well, yeah, but I can see how it would, oh, my God, something straight out of anyone who listens to Bodega Boys knows the culture of the Bronx. This one paragraph right here. New York City Sheriff Joseph Fusito told Gothham is that his deputies first spotted event organizers with boom vip events unloading chairs tables and velvet rope used for crowd control before they went into the location where people were smoking hookah and drinking alcohol oh my god there it is but i wonder too, because there's no sports too,

it's also like, fuck it, man, I'll go to this fight club. I just need to see some shit. Yeah, I would absolutely go to a fight club. I'm definitely going to an unsanctioned fight club, even better. Yeah, exactly. Go check out some smokers. In the article I read on it,

they definitely highlighted that it was unsanctioned, and I was like, are there sanctioned fight clubs yeah exactly yeah right i mean i guess boxing gyms but yeah i guess so but like but even then like you know like when a fight's like if you're fighting an unsanctioned fight out of your like they you're like yo it's a smoker bro like just so you know not yeah yeah wait is smoker a term for unsanctioned unsanctioned fight that's the one that's the one that I've heard People who do like Muay Thai and boxing around me Wow

Oh yeah I too was once an aggressive young man Yeah no I know the unsanctioned fight scene Totally But you got your stripes In Wheeling West Virginia That's right So you probably only got involved just because somebody stole

a family trinket or something like that. Yeah, exactly. And you got to save your family's honor. Go down to the barn fights and then stick around for the farm orgies. The plot of a Tony... The farm orgies. It's fully the plot of a Tony Jaa movie. Right, right.

Footnotes. Where we link off to the information that we talked about in today's episode, as well as the song we ride out on, Miles. What are we riding out on? I've played some tracks by Elkin and Nelson before, but there's another one I want to play, just because we got to keep energy going. It's Tuesday.

You got to keep going. It's only N64 more days until January 20th. But this track is by Elkin and Nelson. They're like these Colombian brothers who, I believe, moved to Spain or Italy in the 70s. They started making disco in Europe, but they're from Colombia, so they've got this weird vibe. And if you like to sample music, their shit is a fucking treasure trope uh but this track is called tumbado and it's only 29 seconds but this shit it's it's going for 29 seconds and it actually leads into another song but if you want to hear that you should just download their album

or listen their album called angelos y demonios uh because Angeles y Demonios because it's got all kinds of fucking hits on it. Nice. All right. The Daily Zeitgeist is a production of iHeartRadio.
