You know, sometimes it just feels like the universe is random word associating, you know? Right. And I start to suspect that I'm in a coma and my brain is just like failing at producing a coherent dream. Right. Of reality. Yeah.

Please welcome back to the show. It's Tess Barker! Oh my god, you guys, thank you so much

for having me. Thank you for coming back. Thank you for coming back. Thank you. I have to tell you guys, while you were singing your songs I made one up for myself. Go ahead. Please do it. Put the wine in the coconut. You drink it all up.

You put the wine in the coconut. You laugh at your own joke. Exactly. You got to. You got to. You are drinking wine out of a coconut right now. Always. Any accidents? Yeah, of course. You got to. You got to. And you are drinking wine out of a coconut right now. Always. Yeah. Any oxidants.

Yeah, yeah. Of course. Of course. That is right. Oh, my God. Got to have tannins. How are you doing? How have you been?

I've been well. I've been well. Yeah. Yeah. Great to have you back. Yeah. Yeah. Great to be here.

Is your, you have air conditioning in your house? Yeah, we got, well, yeah, we have air conditioning in my office which is great and then we have a really strong like window unit that's yeah i kind of feel like those work well as long as you can stay in that like two foot radius oh yeah if you're directly in front of it yeah yeah yeah you're good you're good you're good yeah yeah i i only ask because i recently found out the what the price of freon is and and that my eyes rolled back into my head and I was debating whether I need air conditioning in summer heat in Los Angeles. But I do. Are you going to have to buy your own Freon?

No, something was happening with air conditioning. And then the person came and was like, yeah, you need like four pounds of Freon. I'm like, it's a pound of Freon. What could that be? Would that possibly cost Michael $12? Yeah, exactly. They're like, it's a pound of free. And I look at that fee. Would that possibly cost, Michael, $12? Yeah, exactly. They're like, you fool. But anyway, I just had a bit of sticker shock recently.

And Jack, you did prepare me. You're like, I don't know if you've ever had anything happen to your air conditioning. We just had the same exact thing happen. It's not good. Yeah. No bueno, my good man. What is it? I didn't know it was sold by the pound, first of all.

I didn't either. I just thought, you know, I figured like, oh, yeah, what do you but i didn't know it was sold by the pound first of all i didn't either i just thought you know i figured like oh yeah what do you bring a little jug of it over and you go look look look look look not true at all it's like a gas or whatever but uh yeah it's i don't i don't even want to say what i was charged because i feel like zeitgeist like bro you got taken leonison host yeah yeah we'll see i'm i'm i'm asking people i know privately discreetly Like, bro, you got taken, Liam Eason. You got a host. Yeah. So we'll see. I'm asking people I know privately, discreetly, because I'm like, did I get ripped off? I love when we're off mic to know what is it for you. Yeah, yeah, I will.

I will. Emergency. I will. It's basically the same per pound rate as cocaine. So you might as well just buy cocaine. Just about. Okay. Well, that's a good takeaway, I think. Yeah. With enough cocaine. So you might as well just buy cocaine. Well, that's a good takeaway, I think.

With enough cocaine, yeah. I could run to Best Buy where there's air conditioning in there and just hang out there. Just dead sprint all the way to Best Buy. And just look at all the TVs, man. Yeah, dude, I'm thinking about buying these, dude. Yeah, just give me another second to stare at this floral

display image you put on this 4K TV. Alright, Tess, we're're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell the listeners a couple of the things that we're talking about today we're gonna talk about that uh trump tweet truth whatever uh you know his post on truth where he's just like writing fan fiction at this point about like, he's like, what if like Biden comes to the DNC, but like he wants to, he wants it back. And he's actually the guy that I'm running against again, because that's what my brain is craving right now. So we'll talk about that. It just feels like a little desperate seems to be the operative word. We were talking before we started recording about how that was the

ultimate insult in middle school was like, oh my God is so desperate even though we didn't know what that meant this is what it means yeah yeah is somebody just trying to uh make a thing happen oh that is not yeah doesn't seem like it's gonna happen for it feels like the same thing like the inciting incident of like liar liar when the kid's like i wish that for one day my dad couldn't tell a lie. Yeah. And then Blue, like, it's like, I get that's what you want so bad, but it's only in a movie where that thing would actually happen. Right, right. Yeah, it does.

That's the only word for him right now is desperate because it feels like the one thing he had going for him was attention. And that just got taken away from him. And he's over there like, hey, look at me. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I mean, he had a really big thing going for him in that he was running for president against Joe Biden, whose brain was falling apart before our very eyes. And now he doesn't have that very big thing going for him. And it seems to be not like he seems to be having a

hard time with it. So we'll talk about that. We'll talk about other ways that they are coping, just like roasting Walls and Harris. So we'll talk about that. We'll also talk about the Taylor Swift of it all, because the Republicans are so on edge about Taylor Swift. They're hallucinating. Yes. They're so on edge that Taylor Swift is going to endorse Kamala Harris that they are hallucinating. Which was the Shakespeare person who was the character who was like mad hallucinating at the end?

Lady Macbeth? Was it Macbeth? Yeah. Pup-yum spots? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm just thinking like it feels like like shakespeare and they're like who goes there it's taylor swift just everything is taylor swift right now there

it is not great anyways all of that plenty more but first test we do like to ask our guest what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are i was searching for bowes stores near me because I have had, these are not the headphones I'm talking about, but I've had the same pair of Bose headphones for like 10 years. You know the circle part that touches your ear? Hmm.

Padded part? The ear cup? Is that a technical term? My ear cup or I don't know. That's what I'm saying so we find common ground. Yeah, yeah. Circle part ear cup. Or I don't know. That's what I'm saying. So we find common ground. Yeah, yeah. Circle part ear cup. Yeah.

And once I've already replaced those, and rather than buy a new set of headphones, I'm looking to get them replaced again because I'm very reticent to send money on technology or anything like that. I really like to repair things rather than buy new. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are those stores still a thing?

Are they still out here? Are they? There's none like super close to me, but there's one in the Century City Mall. So now I have to decide whether I want to be frugal and go to the Century City Mall. Yeah. Right. Just give up. But what you spend in gas to get to Century City, does that offset the savings?

Right. Then the parking, if you park at Century City and you don't. How much does my time work? Yeah. Yeah. Because I feel like every time I've been there, I'm like, oh, yeah, I can get it validated. And they're like, no one validates here. Yeah.

You idiot. We're pricing people out of parking here. That's what this is for. It's so those who can afford to come here, come here. We are a city that is just a mall you think we validate yeah yeah exactly right yeah right someone says they live in century city they're squatting at macy's yeah i'm impressed that bows is still surviving bows must not have sold out to private equity because they don't really have like a great reason to still exist. I mean, I guess they do.

No, they're heavy though. I like bows. That's my preferred. That's your preference? Okay. I associate them with like sharper image for some reason, but maybe I just like never got onto the bows gang. Dude, they have they, I know, I'm pretty sure

they produce like all kinds of interesting technologies. Like I'm pretty sure one of all kinds of interesting technologies. I'm pretty sure one of the things that stabilizes truck driver seats for long-haul trucking, that vibration absorption system was designed by Bose. They're just like all vibrations? They're fucking... Anything involving vibes? That's a great catchphrase.

It sounds like they do need to sexy up their image a little bit. Yeah, exactly. It's like Bose. We get vibes. Yeah, because it's sound. It's trucker seat vibrations. Yeah, if you look at Bose, the ride system too. They're full on being like, yeah, dude, we create fucking seats for your truck.

Because they will not vibrate at all. Anyway, I knew this. That's who I want fixing my headphones. Yeah. There you go. What do you got? QC 35s? Exactly.

Yeah. I'm rocking QC 35s. Those are QC 35s? I think so. Yeah. I'm looking at it. Your cushion kit right now. It's 34 bucks on mine. See, that's such a better deal than whatever.

A couple hundred bucks. I'll hardwire. I don't care. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Fine. Yeah. Oh, you's such a better deal than whatever couple hundred bucks. I'll hardwire it. I don't care. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Fine. Oh, you got an ECK over there? Bo's ECK? Oh, ECK? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just need to know. I just need to know what you're working with.

How long is that cable? Two meters? Yeah, she's got a two meter on the QC35. Yeah, ear cushion kit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Alright, we got that. I'm going to get fucking roasted by Bo fanboys by the way for for being like bows i think i am i think i'm the bows fan okay to be honest i've been roasted folks well you got it yeah from us yeah no because there's this like there's just this really cool video where they made this like lexus with a suspension system

where like you could not feel like it was going through like the rocky like speed bumps and inside the cabin you didn't you thought you were just driving on just on ice it was so smooth but like that i'm pretty sure that technology gave way to like this truck seat technology because everyone's like this is prohibitively expensive and it could do it could like hop over a speed bump to anyway i'll show you this video it's pretty dope and that's what i want i want cars that can just fly over speed bumps personally yeah yeah yeah that's what i'm here for not my equipment from a stunt queen that's right what uh what's something you think is underrated underratedrated? I'm going to say that I'll often be listening

to my bows on the LA Metro because I love the trains in Los Angeles. Yeah. I'm always telling people to take the trains. They're lovely.

You know, certainly you have to live on one of the routes, but it's so much more relaxing than being in traffic. If you've got to go downtown and you take a car you're a fool the train will get you anywhere you can have a nice like city experience walking around you can

read your book write in your notebook do whatever you got to do it's not going to depend what time you're going yeah right yeah fun frequently yeah yeah yeah's definitely like, it's the one thing you hope for with the LA Metro is like for it to, like you said, like what about for people who don't live like directly near like a Metro station, but then a lot of time they have like a lot of parking or whatever. But yeah, I know that's like the one thing that makes it a little bit difficult.

And also like the NIMBY stuff where people are like, I don't want the Metro station to come through my part of the city. Of course. But I'm here to tell you, you do. And also, if I can just go a step further, I hope everyone, our Los Angeles listeners, knows about the Metro Micro.

Yeah. Yeah. The Uber van. The Uber van is what, a dollar? Yeah. Oh, come get you at like your house. Exactly. It pulls up.

Like, where do you want to go? Yeah, yeah. Like, as long as it's in this like small delivery radius, like we're good to go. Yeah, yeah, come get you at like your house. Exactly. It pulls up. Like, where do you want to go? Yeah, yeah. Like, as long as it's in this like small delivery radius, like we're good to go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, what is it? It's a van that will just take you to the metro? It's like microtransit, but it's basically like a sprinter van that has a bunch of seats in it. And they'll take you like, you can just be like, hey, I need to get over here.

And they're like, yeah, yeah, all right. Yeah. You can like reserve a ride and it'll text you when the guys close. And like a dude in a van is just like, Hey, and he just like takes you. And it's not shady. It says micro on the bus.

So it's not like you just, some dude shows them like, Hey, right. And you're like, yeah, Hey, uh,

train station. He's like, sure. And if I ever start leaving my house again, I might have to take advantage of this. That's pretty good. Aren't your kids into trains yet? They don't like big vehicle type things?

They don't have a train face? They do like trains, but we just don't have that many reasons to go downtown. There's school and all those things. But I'm going to start taking them on the LA Metro for sure. With kids, too. The other train I love that I recommend is the Surfliner. Yeah, we've done the Surfliner for sure. With kids too. The other train I love that I recommend is the Surfliner. Yeah, we've done the Surfliner for sure. That's beautiful.

During the Barbara? Yeah. We went down to San Diego. San Diego? Back up again. It was a blast. What is something you think is overrated? I'm going to go Espresso Martinis.

Okay. I have been hearing those just like ambiently people talk about espresso martinis yeah lately i feel like they're very hot right now they're all the rage if you got to get your booze and your caffeine on at the same time right i'm like a classier red bull vodka that's the thing i'm like an old crusty millennial like nothing's gonna top a vodka bowl for me like if I need to give me a vodka bowl like cut the shit don't put it in a martini glass

like what's business yeah exactly I feel like when I picture a Red Bull vodka I'm picturing it in a plastic cup like straight up like one of those soft plastic cups the one in your hotel yes yeah exactly the one by the sink yeah exactly that is what with with the sleeve still on put the

plastic sleeve still on it you're like yeah man that's how you drink it then i can use it twice because it eats away at the plastic right yeah i don't think, in my mind, I'm like, have I ever seen a vodka Red Bull like in a fancy highball glass or something like that? I just feel like it's almost like the bartender's like, dude, I know you're not about presentation if you're asking for this.

So here, it's literally both things you asked for. Thank you. It's the people's drink. Yeah. It is. It's the people's eight ball. Right.

Or the people's speedball. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. All right. We areball. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. All right. We are going to take a quick break, and then we're going to come back, and we're going to talk about some news. We'll 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. I mean, my reaction, shock and awe.

That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I mean, 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. And we're back. This message is brought to you by the Ad Council. with the reality that kamala harris is now who he is running against and it is no longer

jay biden and he had a post yesterday that just felt like desperation incarnate so i just want to just want to read it real quick because it seems it seems like he's trying to hype Joe Biden up into doing a January 6th. It feels like this is a post where the intended audience is Joe Biden. He says, what are the chances that crooked Joe Biden, the worst president in the history of the U.S., whose presidency was unconstitutionally stolen from him by Kamabla, Barack Hussein, Obama, crazy Nancy Pelosi, shifty Adam Schiff, crying Chuck Schumer and others on the lunatic left crashes. OK, so that was a big aside. But

what are the chances that Biden crashes the Democratic National Convention and tries to take back the nomination, capitalized for some reason, beginning with challenging me to another debate? That's the one that gets me so much. He's like, let's do that again, bro. Remember that when I was louder? When he just kept like kind of fading off like he didn't know where he was then he feels that he made a historically tragic

mistake by handing over the US presidency a coup to the people in the world he most hates and he wants it back now so that last part it feels like he has fully shifted into a tense that is like straight up fiction writing, right? He's like now writing the character of Joe Biden and being like, he feels that he made a historically tragic mistake by handing over the U.S. presidency, a coup to the people in the world he most hates, and he wants it back now.

He went third person omniscient third person omniscient like logline movie pitch yeah and in this fiction that he's created by the way kamala has won he's not even giving himself like the benefit of the doubt that he might win this election. Well, it's very much like I can't beat her. So here's what should happen. Yeah. Also, like so clear, you are so scared of a debate when your first part of the fantasy is like, not only does he come back, but the first thing he says is, I want Trump in a debate. Exactly.

And that would be cool. I come through the wall like i kick it down like the kool-aid man like the kool-aid man three k's um yeah i don't know it's hard to tell if this is if he like hopes this is gonna happen if he is and is just like left earth enough to think he can like will it or if he believes this is what's going to happen because that's what he would do if someone ever tried to get him to like back out of a position of power like that a lot of people drew attention to the idea of like what biden just did like you couldn't possibly imagine trump doing that and this is just like the best example of that where right he is now like so uh what biden just did doesn't make any sense because he like willingly gave up power so uh i would never let that happen my my let me just pitch something to you guys my theory of what's

going on he's gonna do a gen six and he's big mad he is big mad i mean i i could you know if the republicans were ever in a place that they could have ousted trump i could see trump doing this but the fact is he has his like he can fully controls the party so obviously nothing like that would have ever happened unless you know i don't know i i don't even know how they could have ever done it unless maybe the 25th amendment was maybe the closest time you could have seen Republicans be like, I think we could have the power to unseat this guy. But again, not, no, no.

We're not going to do anything about it. Yeah, and not to mix lunatic metaphors, but he is the worm in the Republican brain. Yes. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and also, I don't know if it's the flex he thinks it is i know he's trying to be racist and just misspell kamala's name but when you're the guy that looks not so lucid i don't know if misspelling you're all the time yeah like feels like something that he might

say accidentally because he does feel like he's just getting older by the day, like aging, like a president, which is great for him. I'm proud of him finally aging like a president, because when he was in office, he barely aged at all. The first president to ever just not let it get to him at all, because he's an orphan most of the time. Yeah, but he now does seem to be noticeably aging the blah thing it just doesn't hit at all like the only room where some if someone calls something blah is like if like anna wintour was describing some like fashion trend she's like oh it's quite blah to me they're

like oh shit i'm not offended it's just blah oh but republicans who have been saying the most vile shit like the most out there rhetoric to just call something blood it's like no that these people have been sniffing cocaine and you're like what if we had like a diet coke to get our our heart rate up it's like no bro we're fully cooked off the amphetamines the fact that he can't possibly imagine anyone willfully giving a power like just put another reason that if he wins this election like we are so fucked because he his brain is deteriorating before our eyes and he is also never going to give up power, ever going to give up power. So it's, I don't know, it just drives home another reason why.

Seems like it would be bad if Donald Trump won the next election. For almost 10 years now, I guess, it's been driving me crazy. Are there this many people that are not bothered by having a president who doesn't know what a proper noun is like, it drives,

how do you, the, someone who has been the president of the United States doesn't know that you don't capitalize world. Yeah. Right. Right. Yeah.

It's, it's vibe. It's all vibes. Oh, the, I want the nomination is something I want. So I'm going to make that fancy and call that a capital N nomination. Get the nomination.

But like to your point, Jack, of like this guy is not like he's living in a fantasy world and has to win by any means necessary. I just do want to point out that while the vibes are up for Democrats, Trump, remember, dude, this guy is fighting for his fucking life in this election. You know what I mean? It's not just sort of like all the fantasies from like the right wing, like existentially for Trump, he has to be president or else so many fucking legal doors potentially might open further that he doesn't want. And so I just want to remember like when he was in Georgia and he's like, I just want to shout out the freedom fighting pit bulls that we have on the Georgia election board. Well, on Wednesday or maybe Tuesday, the Georgia state election board, they pushed through new rules that basically make it like gives the authority of county officials to refuse to certify election

results. The thing that we're like, we've been talking about a lot this week is like, that's going to be one of their big strategies this time is just to hold up the certification of these elections. So this like gives them new powers where they can like ask for more materials, like they can, there's like more weight to their decisions, like if they want to sign off on a vote count or of their ability to refuse so these like these things are happening like in many states so you know the it's it's gonna the fight will be there there's gonna be right i mean i don't think there's any question that there's go we are in i think the beginning of act three of a greek tragedy is just like how many is it just gonna

be his wings that melt or is the entire empire about to burn down? I mean, you're right. This will go to whatever happens in this election. He won't quit then. It's going to go until there's absolute decimation everywhere. And it's just a matter of people in like Brooks Brothers, it was called the Brooks Brothers riot, Roger Stone, like helped organize it. And that was one of the things that got them to stop the recount. They were like, stop the count. It worked, they stopped the recount, and the Supreme Court gave it to Bush at that point. And, you know, a later recount said that bush had the votes but like it has happened before that

it was like arbitrary and just like because they had the supreme court justices they needed they were able to swing the election so it's not unprecedented like we could see the election overturned or you know the election given to him because they have the supreme court justices they need yeah anyway so just terrifying truth is just constantly being fed to us vis-a-vis these kind of posts where he's giving like sour patch kid names yeah right party and so it's like and like i i think there's this dissonance that we all have sort of of how absurd it is versus the abstract, stark truth that you're just talking about. It's really hard to reckon with those two things at the same time.

Yeah, because you're like, the guy who's just comma blah has an army of sycophants and people that are just off election conspiracies ready to bring down the electoral process. Oh, he does. Okay. oh he does okay yeah yeah yeah but did you mean garbage pale kids the garbage kids names because that's so funny i bet he is influenced by garbage pale kids he really does like that is the format of all his nicknames like snotty scty from, you know. Right. And then there's Joe Biden.

Stinky Steve. Yeah. But how are they dealing on the vibes front, Miles? The vibes are fantastic if you hate the Republicans, I would say. So, like, again, there's just a lot of a lot of swatting at things, a lot of grasping at straws, vapors to try and get something that sticks. Kevin McCarthy was like, I don't know about Tim Walz. He is so radical. It's wild.

People don't see this. He's basically the Bernie Sanders of Congress. That's what he said. I was like, the Bernie Sanders. Is Bernie Sanders not in Congress? Does Kevin McCarthy know the difference between the House of Representatives and the Senate? Never mind. Yeah, whatever.

You were speaker. Maybe you meant of the House. Either way, that's where that went. And he was like, all right, Kevin McCarthy, thanks for that. Next. Trump is now, like he called into Fox and Friends, a little less focused on her race. And just now just saying things like how she doesn't want to answer questions this is him calling in again being like

oh yeah yeah I hear she's real bad he doesn't even know what to say anymore she stinks she's bad no I mean pretty close he's like what I can't do race stuff? Okay, I hear she's stinky. The media are outside of you people, of course. But the media is so, they're trying to build her up to the next Margaret Thatcher liberal version. And I don't believe it's going to happen. I hear she hasn't taken one interview. She would never do an interview like this. That I can guarantee, with any network. She doesn't do interviews because she can't answer questions.

I don't know how she debates. I hear she's sort of a nasty person, but not a good debater. But we'll see, because we'll be debating her, I guess, in the pretty near future. It's going to be announced fairly soon, but we'll be debating her. I'd like to see it on Fox, by the way. I would like to see it. My preference would be Fox, but we have to debate. Do you have an announcement, Mr.

They're like, do you have an announcement? He's like, no, no, I don't. But it will be happening in about a couple of weeks, you know, doing the same Trump thing. So I've heard she's sort of a nasty person. Right. Was that scathing line of attack? Just sort of like just sort of a nasty person. Not like he's sort of nasty. Right. Was that scathing line of attack? Just sort of. Like, just sort of a nasty person.

Not only that she's sort of nasty. Yeah, not a full-on nast, but sort of. And also, like, acting like there's no media available of her. That he just hears that, like, she's a nasty person. Like, he's never seen her or met her before. They're like, oh, yeah. All of the internet hasn't just been her, like, with zinger. Like,'s never seen her or met her before. They're like, Oh yeah. All of the internet. Hasn't just been her.

Like with zinger, like charismatic little clips. Yeah. I hear she's brat. So there's that also, which is bad. I think that's a bad thing. I don't like it.

And I think, uh, Chappelle Rowan, I believe is that artist said something about Tim walls being daddy vibes or, I don't know anyway. But, but on Trump's like campaign account at Trump war room, they're like just posting like screen cat,

like just video of her greeting a crowd at like the first rally that happened with her and Tim Walls. Or just like it's her at the podium. It says Kamala, like parent parentheses, cringe. Good evening. Ha ha.

Good evening. Good evening. Ha ha. Good evening, cringe. Good evening. Ha ha. Good evening. Good evening. Ha ha. Good evening, everyone. Good evening. And that was her whole speech. And that's not taken out of context at all. And then she says, good night.

Right. They're just, they're just showing someone again, because I know people are not as enthusiastic at the Trump rallies anymore, where you have to, you have to contend with people who's been like, They're like, all right, good evening. Oh, yep. Yeah. Wow.

Good evening. Hey, everyone. It's called a raucous crowd. And you're like, what is this? This is cringe, dude. She's all like, good evening a bunch of times. Is she all right? Okay. times is she all right um okay and while tim or while comel and tim walls were talking to like

12 000 people at that same time jd vance was also in philadelphia but like at another venue in the city with only 200 people that showed up and they knew it was going to be a small thing right they booked it out to make sure yeah it could it could hold 1300 people. So it could only hold about a tenth of what the other one did. And you got 200 to show. And then he ended up even self-owning because the stage was so poorly set up. It looked like he was stumping for Kamala Harris. This is wild. He's standing.

It looks like it's just got a big banner that says Kamala behind him. And it was supposed to say kamala chaos but as uh iotsy the union pointed out they said here's why you should hire union stage hands and stage designers and then in parentheses they did not yeah and you get they're like shit man it looks like i'm opening up for kamala harris. It's all so Veep-coded. Yeah. It is crazy how Veep is the only realistic depiction of politics

ever. Yeah. The other thing, though, too, is people like Charlie Kirk have become so desperado with it that they are... He's now instructing his listeners to just be like don't don't don't support your kids if they're gonna vote for this ticket um this is charlie

kirk totally unbothered by the the harris walls ticket let me be very clear guys if you do not get 100 percent turnout from your own house you you're doing it wrong. If you are a parent that has 18 or 19 year old kids, you got to get them out to vote. And by the way, if you are paying your 18, 19 or 20 year old kids tuition, and they go vote for Kamala Harris, you should tell them you guys could pay for your own college. You're going to go vote for Kamala Harris. And our house here is working our tail off. And we're going into debt to help you go through college. You're going to go vote for Kamala Harris, and our house here is working our tail off, and we're going into debt to help you go through college. You guys can pay for your own college.

Husbands, make sure your wives are registered. Wives tend to be more organized around the house. Make sure your husbands are registered. For all of the MAGA moms out there, make sure that every... Just make a list, okay? Susie, Jeff... Susie, Jeff, Joseph, Mary, Jesus, make sure that every just make a list okay suzy jeff suzy jeff joseph mary jesus matthew mark luke john everyone in your family make sure you're registered to vote but yeah now it's like to the

phase of like you need to threaten your family now like this is this is what this is how we'll beat that i guess yeah that's uh yeah and if they don't go to school no candy for that you you give you offer to buy them candy if they will go vote for trump and if not no candy for a year oh yeah and be and hey and be be firm on that yes there's a future of our country's at stake here yeah thank you producer victor Producer Victor. Take away the Xbox. Is bribery like that? You're not supposed to be able to bribe people to vote. I think bribery and blackmail are probably both not acceptable ways to coerce someone into voting. Right.

Also, they're saying this is the same people who won't give people any kind of a break on their student loans. Yeah, I know. of a break on their student loans. Yeah, I know. That's the really interesting thing, though, too, is like conservatives really don't know how to spin this progressive thing because I was I've been watching Fox like the last two days just because I like I'm so, you know, like it's part of part of the gig, but also like to see how they're even messaging this. And one of the things I heard the most was this is the most extreme ticket. This is the most radical ticket that we've ever seen. Maybe comparatively, sure.

But they're like, Walsh is so radically progressive, guys. Don't be fooled. He's basically like Gavin Newsom, but just with a little more folksy. They want to bring in all this blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And like, they do stuff to be like,

like he wants to make sure that your tax dollars go straight to kids so they can get a free meal. Yeah. And you're like, yeah, for free. Okay. What else?

It's a free lunch. Another one was like Kamala Harris is sending money to the top 1%. When she says she wants to increase spending to help people, guess who that's helping? The extremely wealthy. That's where the money goes when the government spends money. And you're like, wait, are you against lining the pockets of the wealthiest 1% of this country? That's your whole thing. Your whole fiscal policy is based on that.

So again, they don't know how to even spin any of this, but by just saying things, but like with an outraged tone, they're like, he wants women to make their own decisions about their healthcare. He thinks all people are people. This is wild stuff, folks.

Yeah. I saw them coming for him for the putting free tampons in school. Oh, Tampon Tim? Tampon Tim? Oh, you're talking about Tampon Tim? I'm sorry, Tampon Tim. His garbage pail kid name.

That's right. Tampon Tim is a great garbage pail kid. That's a garbage pail kid card t-shirt. Tampon Tim. Tampon Tim. Got tampons poking out of his ears and nose. Yeah. Even Republican women use tampons poking out of his ears and nose. Yeah. Even Republican women use tampons.

You dipshit. You don't know. Republican women's been in a situation where they needed a tampon. I don't want to hear about it. Okay. And I don't, I surely don't. I don't want my wife goes to a tent on our compound with the other women to,

you know, and she emerges five days later. That's right. And that's how we have. But yeah, it truly is just that they are, they're, and she emerges five days later. That's right. And that's how we have. But yeah, it truly is just that they are, they're, they're grasping as if the other thing that they've been saying a lot was that

Shapiro, Josh Shapiro was snubbed because the Democrats hate Jewish people. Right. And that's all like, and I'm like, I'm sorry. Again, you have a guy who's humping Mein Kampf by his bedside table.

Right. Your fucking nominee. The person who, when they say Jews will not replace us, he's like, yeah, those dudes are chill. Yeah. And the bevy of the fucking all the neo-Nazis he hangs out with. And you're going to start giving lectures on that. I mean, I think, again, Shapiro was snubbed because he was vulnerable. Like he had a lot of controversies that started brewing and popping up over the weekend and like people were like oh and one that i have not really i've recently seen get talked about more was just like really weird murder case that happened that like while he was attorney general that was clearly a homicide but for some reason was ruled a suicide and her family was like

suing to like get the fucking state to like reopen this case and like have it actually be ruled a homicide. And like, it's super strange. A lot of weird stuff. Like there was like unverified, like sort of allegations that Josh Shapiro knew this deceased woman's fiance, who some suspect was the actual person who may have killed her. And like and he was just like, yeah, it's a suicide. But like this person had like 10 stab wounds to the back of their neck and head and they're like yeah this is uh yeah it was like it's yeah there's just all kinds of just stuff that like again it he would have been opened up to the this summer's most scathing insult which is uh shapiro got a weird

case why is he around man that would have they're like yeah we don't want that let's pick like walls who is just like looks like this normal guy which is why i think they're having so much trouble because he doesn't have the same like creature of dc politics energy that most of these politicians you see who end up like on a presidential ticket yeah yeah yeah you can't have a candidate who would have a staircase made about him. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. An owl theory about someone on your ticket. Yeah. Yeah. Or just being like, well, how could they look at that? Like what's going on? As I read the details of it, there's like so much weird stuff in this family of this woman who passed away, like have been relentless on trying to get justice for her.

And it's actually because Krasner, the guy who became the Philadelphia DA was one of their lawyers. And when he became DA, he's like, I actually can't take the case because I've, I've, I already have a connection to it. So they sent it to Shapiro's office, but then he was like, no, it looks like a, no, nothing to see here. And again, it looks open and shut. Yeah. Very wild stuff. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll 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. I mean, 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. Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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.

And we're back. We're back. And we're back. We're back. And just going along with the kind of desperation that we're seeing at the top of the Republican Party in the MAGA world, we're also kind of seeing it further down with people looking for the ghost of Kamala Harris in Taylor Swift posts. That is basically what happened here i i think the last what eight months has been spent with people are like especially on the right being like taylor swift can completely fuck this election up like she has so she has minions and not the cute kinds that are yellow that will absolutely upend the electoral map.

And, you know, it felt like there's just a lot of questions like, when will she come out and support Kamala Harris like she did Joe Biden in 2020? Her fans definitely have seemed to have made up their minds about getting behind the vice president. So it just feels like more of like a when rather than if situation. So then on Wednesday, Taylor Swift posts some photos on her Instagram and one of them caught the eye of many people. Right. So it's her on stage.

Like it was, it's from the era's tour where she's like waving at a crowd. And in the background, people are like, Oh my God, do you see that pants suited figure as a shadow with like shoulder lung hair waving? Is that fucking,

is she Easter egging her Kamala Harris support right now? And I personally look at that and say, that is the silhouette of Kamala Harris. And she is Easter egging her because that's the way my brain works. Yeah. Yeah. And also I am a huge Taylor Swift fan and she loves an Easter egg. He loves an Easter egg.

I actually with, I think I'm with the republicans on this one okay so but here's it so i think many conservatives were seething again i was watching fox again when i was like i can't wait for them to talk about this and they're like you know she's just so inappropriate um you know when you're a musician like this country is so divided to get political like that. I just think it's really, it's, it's not proper for someone like Taylor Swift to be doing at her concerts. And it's like all bad. Who was it? Ainsley or one of the other people was like,

her tickets cost too much. You're like, well, yeah, I get that. Yeah. Like, yeah, I'll get you that. But like, is that really a thing? Sure. And then the best part was one of these other people on this Fox panel was like, you know, people that just follow some celebrity mindlessly for like whatever they think is right politically i think it's just like it's just really stupid like these people are like really stupid it doesn't even make sense and you're like y'all oh okay that's fine that's what i expected but yeah they were like they were seething like as if she had entered the debate but okay this is where it gets a little murky she someone a maga guy like debunked the photo he found concert footage from this concert and it's clear that like this was a background dancer who was just waving so on the left people were like this was like wish fulfillment. They're like, yeah, fucking Easter egg it. And on the right, it was just straight up boogeyman fucking just absolute paranoia on their side.

But I don't know. I feel like that's the genius of this because it's like a Rorschach test. It's like, yeah, that's technically not Kamala Harris. I mean, okay. And you've checked for sure That the backup dancer Was not Kamala Harris Because that

After she got the boyfriend up Why not get Kamala Let's be honest Kamala would be down Who wouldn't Yeah Just a little backup dancer

I mean look She had Megan Thee Stallion up there She's not against a little dancer You know what I mean Yeah But yeah It was just funny how this got Like this dude was just like guys don't work

like he was like don't worry i i looked this is this is from this show like luckily my daughter likes taylor so that kind of thing and it was yeah it but again knowing taylor swift's uh love for an easter egg it feels like an interesting moment to do that but at the same time i think it's also just shows how people are waiting to hear what she's going to do like she'll hide like a melody from a different song in a song three albums later and you won't listen to hear it until you listen to it like the 75th time so i don't think it's at all beyond the scope of taylor swift to put a backup dancer that it's intentionally supposed to look like kamala har in one of her shows. That is a single photograph. Yeah.

From a single angle. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's also, I love the idea that like Taylor Swift, she's just saying and not be about politics as if this woman who has made literally a billion dollars singing about the female experience has no opinions about what it's like to be a woman in America.

Like those two things are mutually exclusive. Like you can't, she's inherently political by what she be a woman in America. Those two things are mutually exclusive. You can't see. She's inherently political by what she became a billionaire off of. Right, right. And they love billionaires, too. Oh, I know. I'm surprised they're like,

well, you know her jet is actually causing a lot of pollution. And you're like, what? Wait, really, guys? Wait, so we care about? Where are you guys? Oh, my God. Which planet are you on? Because you're freaking me out.

Because your allies are showing up to help us solve climate change. They're like, I mean, she only gave a fraction of the earnings from the Aras tour to the truckers, the crew, the dancers. I felt like she could have given more. I mean, I think an equitable split would have been 50%. But whatever. Yeah, and I am for wealth redistribution in this sense. Yeah, it's so funny that they're, yeah, Trump, meanwhile, like the big front page New York Times,

both sidesy story of the day yesterday was like, Trump is pitching some tax cuts that are going to be very popular. And it's like, you know, tax cuts that are going to be very popular and it's like you know tax cuts for major corporations and also for the elderly on social security yeah and yeah he's just yeah no no reason to have taxes why why would you need them yeah no they were also teasing something about how to like bring student debt down but it wasn't coming out of like government coffers. It was very strange. Like it's weird how you can see the conservatives trying to like now put stories in that make it seem like, yeah, we understand fiscal issues and have policies geared towards that, but are somehow impossibly funded.

I don't know how. Oh, I know. And they're so obsessed with like they love complaining about the cost of groceries and the cost of everything but then they're like no taxes just put tariffs on everything and so what do you guys understand yeah so then i'm paying for it even if there are no taxes because of the taxes or i'm sorry tariffs that you have put on them sure sure sure yeah but we get to say that we cut taxes in elections and so that's good for us yes i don't see what you guys aren't understanding yeah yeah and then you guys pay more money but we don't get blamed so what what's your fucking problem what's so hard for you to understand

i don't know like yeah it's that again the the intellect like of the the right wing now is being really tested in ways that it's just coming up short in every single way. I'm sure they'll figure it out, man. Yeah. I mean, it's just going to have to go. These have to become, I think violence is the only thing that they're really good at at this point. Because they're not going to gotcha anyone. They're like, pop artists shouldn't perform politically. It's like you had Florida Georgia Line performing at the Republican Convention, a song called Make America Great Again.

But damn, Florida Georgia Line went all the way over. That is bad news. I didn't know that, actually. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Damn, Florida Georgia Line. I'm so sad about losing Kid Rock. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, Tess, what a pleasure having you on the Daily Zeitgeist where can people find you follow you all that good stuff yeah please check out my new podcast

Yeah, the golden dicks. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've actually done some research into this. And the artist, like, I looked into the artist, and he, like, to this day, swears up and down that those weren't dicks. But I'm like, what does your dick look like then? If that's, you know? Yeah.

Yeah. It's like, it's like the glow from the pulp fiction suitcase. Yeah. Oh, okay. My bad. My bad.

My bad. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. You just hear, it was one of the first crack sketches I wrote was the, the conversation with like the Disney person going to the artist and being like trying to figure out why they've drawn a dick on the thing. And it turns out their dick is weird.
