I wonder if there's anyone in the CIA who, you know how, like, there are people who are like, I don't smoke, but I just like bum cigarettes. If there are people who are like actually addicted to cocaine, but they're the only way they get to use cocaine is when they're like in a deal doing like the testing where they like cut the bag open. Pulls out of fucking switchplate. I got to do another undercover deal, man. Why? Why are you itching? Let's see. Okay. Actually, let me get another. Let me get another pool. That brick's good. Bring me the next one. Now you're like that side of the brick is good.

I got to check to make sure it's not a drywall. Hold on. You might have just done the top layer. Let me go deeper. I don't buy cocaine. I just test it for CIA undercover drug deals. A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers. But it wasn't until 2023 when he was.

finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight. So why did it take so long to catch him? I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster, hunting the Long Island serial killer, the investigation into the most notorious killer in New York, since the son of Sam, available now.

Hey there, this is Dr. Jesse Mills, director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health and host of the Mailroom podcast. Each January, guys everywhere make the same resolutions. Get stronger, work harder, fix, what's broken? But what if the real work isn't physical at all?

To kick off the new year, I sat down with Dr. Steve Polter, a psychologist with over 30 years' experience, helping men unpack shame, anxiety, and emotional pain they were never taught to name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved. Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy as in compassion.

If you want this to be the year, you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mailroom on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this week trend edition of DERDALE's Egeist. Yeah. This is a production of IHeart Radio. It's a podcast where we take a deep dive into America's Share Consciousness. And on this Monday afternoon, we tell you what was trending over the weekend. My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there, of course, is my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray.

Oh, a lot of energy. A lot of energy. I just tested this batch that came through. Got to make sure they're not fucking me. All six sides. How's it going, man? Good. Oh, man.

Oh, everything's wild. Everything's fine. Everything's really good. It's supposed to be. I don't know. It's like part of me is like, you try and look for the silver line. You're like, well, you know, like this version of America should not exist anymore. Right.

Now, is this an accelerant towards that despite all of the tragedy that abounds? But then I'm like, who's going to inherit that? I don't know about that. Yeah. It's making a lot of people look bad. Every past administration where it's just like they're doing all this shit without any cover or any like lying, you know? And then action movie fans is I'm going to get to. Yeah.

We all look like shit now. The one thing I realize is like being the president is like having the most consequential ox cord of all time. Yeah. You know, like you pass it to the next guy, you know. And they've all been playing shit from the same playlist. most, you know, it's like neoliberal American imperialism, but like polite, the like somewhat

polite version where they still try and pretend there's some sort of semblance of respectability or decorum around it. And then it just got handed to like the Manson family. And they're like, yeah, give me that thing. He's like, and you're like, what the

fuck? And everyone's like, ah! This is us? Yeah, because you get the propaganda And now coming out of DHS and stuff. It's true like one homeland, one race, all white. Just quoting the third, right? Yeah, yeah.

Quoting it. All right. Well, this is the episode where we tell you what was training over the weekend, but we also let you get to know us a little bit better by telling you some things we think are underrated and overrated. Miles, is there something that you think is underrated? Two quick things. I think, like to my point about the Manson family having the oxford,

the Manson family has the ox cord so start talking I thought you're gonna say their music was underrated dude I I dated somebody who played that man like this is such a weird date I was on they're like oh yeah like I remember hearing it and there's like like that chanting shit

and I was like what the fuck is this so like oh this is like some like this is like some echoey chanting yeah and they were like I think you played a remix that involved the band Colts which I feel like sounds like the man it was like we made this like more listenable.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Colts, look, the Manson family crawled so Colts could fly. That's right. But a couple of things, I think, just like the idea of talking about this administration as like a group of rational actors, I think is so far out because this is true. What's their strategy here, my? It's five Nazis in a Trump skin trench coat. Yeah.

You know what I mean? Like they're, they've commandeered this husk of a senile man who's also evil to basically be able to authorize all this vile shit. And I think talking about it and anything other than that is just like it's a normal presidential administration. Yeah. Or they know what they're doing. I'm like,

this is a smash and grab. They know the clock sticking. That's why they're doing so much wacky shit so quickly because they know, like they have their eye on the clock. Anyway, the real underrated though is everyone's presumptive reality being absolutely destroyed right now. And I talk about this because as somebody who recently had their presumptive.

of reality just absolutely just rocked through a fire. It's a term that I realize after losing my entire physical, material life along with my families, is that like, and your neighborhood and your community is you, we have this thing that we presume, there's a presumption of what our future is going to be, our presumptive future rather. Right.

And you can say like, oh, when I lived in Altadena, I know this is where the Geist's child will go to school. These are our neighbors. This is where he would go to school. this is where I will grow old. When that's off the table, right, and that's gone, that is very disorienting because we all have some form of a presumptive future in our minds of how, like, at least some level of stability we're like, even right now, it's like, okay, maybe I work and maybe I can retire.

I don't know. I don't fucking know. Who knows, but on some level, you knew there were some things like maybe armed goons weren't going to every day be going door to door and kicking people's doors in to try and kidnap people. Maybe they'll get tired. Yeah. Oh, no, they're just ramping up.

They're just... Yeah. I think the thing that is really disorienting, and this was something I talked about with a lot of other people who lost their homes and the fire and were displaced was, though, one of the hardest things

to get over is your presumptive future is gone. Yeah. It's not even like the, all my shit's gone. It's also like this sense that you could at least forecast, maybe two years into the future,

four years into the future. Right. With everything that's happening with this administration and everything being upended, I think a lot of people are going through a thing where it's even hard to envision what a year from now looks like. Yeah. Or two years. And I think realizing that that's a sensation that you are feeling, I think is really important to help navigate through that because that is something, that is a form of grief you're going to experience along with it, with all the uncertainty that's happening. So I think it's really underrated that our presumptive future is being rocked, right?

now and along with that comes a lot of uncertainty and a lot of angst but but no that it all varies from person to person but that is a huge thing that can happen especially as people look at what's happening to the United States and go what the fuck is happening where are we what are we doing because yeah everything we've presumed to maybe hold is wobbly yeah pretty is getting pretty wobbly yes and I feel like a lot of people are you know like we'll talk about the golden globes but like that they didn't really I feel like people are just looking to be

inside a reality where like none of this is happening and they can pretend as if shit's like still going still going the way that it was before and it's like now things things have changed and also haven't this is this is who America's

has been in a lot of ways but yeah Yeah. I mean, this is, I mean, if you, if you don't throw out the pot of sorted ethnic cleansing soup stock that this, that this country is and start over, yeah, the logical end, if you keep cooking that over and over, it's just going to turn into this primordial racist goo. Yeah. And the, the differences that now, I mean, they're doing it worse than ever before. And also, like, they are implying that it's something that people should be proud about about America, as opposed to, like, like something that they do undercover in the quiet. Yeah, yeah. With like a propaganda smoke screen. But it is obviously worse.

And I think a lot of people are going through the denial phase of things a little bit in various parts of their lives. I suck at predicting my future. Like I have never gotten a single day right where I'm like, all right, this is how it's going to go down. Yeah. Keep rooting for the Sixers. I know.

Exactly. I knew. I know that. All right. Uh, my underrated. a new conspiracy theory dropped over the weekend. I mean, it's apparently been circulating, but I think it started making the rounds on Twitter

that is so insidious and feels like the wackos really ate on this one. I feel like they've really created something. You went to the right place to find it on Twitter. So the theory is that, oh, you think there are 8 billion people in the world? Oh, okay. Oh, come. You really believe that?

That's crazy. Based on what? Based on what? At Bonesaw, MD. Which is where I get a lot of my news. They're not up to 8 billion people living in the world. A laughable and unsurious belief, truly. Most of humanity is unbirthed.

I don't know what that means. Most online accounts are ghost spots. I think that's true. Census data has been severe. embellished outside of the West to claim more resources, peacock, and make their people feel small and inconsequential. China, hundreds of unexplained ghost towns. Phone companies reported over 100 million or no longer in service or not used at all without explanation.

So they go through. It's always... Like landlines? Yeah. Shish, shh. Okay. And then they say, like, India, come on. you take a look at these cities and you're telling me there are 900 million people living

there no they're they're all lying and i just saw like people being like wait could this be true like kid is it true that maybe there's not that many people in the world white supremacist garbage is this didn't the guy the guy said census numbers outside of the west outside of the west back on your Nazi riding horse and fuck off. What the fuck is this shit? It's so insidious though because it's because everyone wants it like killing the you're just one of eight billion people in the world. Reality is like all anybody wants. Like I think that that's like such a

underrated like urge in our movies and our stories. Like that's why we like fantasize about the post-apos. post-apocalyptic movies like to be more or like when we watch like the matrix and it's like actually you're the one you're yeah yeah the most important person and you don't want to be the one dude you want to be some nondescript npccccc who just lives their simple life and is happy you don't need to be the one you don't need to be the one you ever go to a like town on vacation and like suddenly you start seeing all the same people or you ever you ever hear someone say it's a small world because there's like you you actually know people

dude that's because there's only like a couple hundred people tops I just I can it immediately like as I was reading I was like oh my God this is going to be so powerful yeah yeah people are going to want to believe this so much you have the white supremacy of it being like China and India are all lying they're lying they don't there's not way more of them than on Yeah. And then it just like plays into so many cognitive biases that we have where it's like, well, your brain starts to recognize people, but you're only noticing the people that you recognize out of like hundreds of people that you saw that day. I mean, it makes sense because like white supremacy is some version of main character syndrome. So like white supremacist's main character syndrome is like, yeah, it's kind of redundant. Yes. This plays directly into the main character syndrome. And like there's just no way to. rectify

like the individualism of like American values with the reality that like there's this massive world that exists out there that you're acting we're acting in everyday life like it doesn't exist

out there like to give people the ability to deny that I feel like is it's going to be popular like one way or another people people are going to find a way to lie to themselves about this. So I'm just saying watch out for the,

you ever heard of pipe rock theory? I don't know exactly what this one's going to be called. What's the opposite of pipe, rock? Of course. I'm saying watch out for this one. I feel like the power of a conspiracy theory that's like, it's like the,

you know, philosophical thought experiment. Like, am I the only person? is everyone else a dream? Like, you know, it's like that times 8 billion, essentially. Right. Right. Is everything is just empty everywhere else? All right, dude, go to Google Maps right now.

How many people do you see? Right. I'm just saying. Oh, man. Those towns all look empty, Doug. I remember I used to never win raffles as a kid. And this one summer in seventh grade, I won like three raffles in a row.

and I was like, it fucked me up. I was like, dude, the world is about you now. They finally figured it out. They've finally figured out. That's why everything's going your way because it's all about you. This script is being written for me. Yeah. Three raffles.

I remember then it was like some stupid thing. Like I was playing like pickup and I was like, I'm going to make this game winner. Uh-huh. And I'm fucking brick this shit out of that thing. And I was like, yeah, maybe I'm, maybe I'm a fucking idiot. Maybe I suck at basketball. Turns out. No, it's just kind of, it was like a, it was like, it was very, a very brief, like, week

where I was like, everything's coming up mill house. Right. And then I realized I'm like, oh, probability just sort of shown upon you in that very narrow way for those. Like, raffles and lottery are like good examples of area and ability to deal with. Like, people spend so much money on the lottery because we see the person who win. Like, they show you a person. winning and not the millions and millions of millions of people who lose. And so you just have it locked in your brain that like this is, you know, our brand is just

not good at dealing with big numbers. I remember what I won. You know what I won when these things of my neighborhood block party in the summer? Oh, I can't wait. I want a fucking blockbuster music gift card for five bucks and a advanced copy of the Batman and Robin soundtrack on CD. Wow. And the way I fucking was

like, have you seen Joy Luck Club? Or like the daughter's like the chess champion and she's holding the fucking magazine cover as she walks through the street because she's so proud. The way I was holding my Batman and Robin album was like this. I'm like, this has a new smashing pumpkins track on it. Y'all don't fucking know. I mean, the last one had kissed by a rose. Can you imagine what this one's going to have?

It's going to be so much better. Dude. They're just going to keep getting better. and better the Batman soundtrack. You guys have no fucking clue. The Smashing Pumpkins, the end is the beginning is the end. Think about that. Try to wrap your fucking head around that, dog.

Oh, you don't like that? You know what track two is? Look into my eyes and tell me what it. Bone thugs, bro? Then number three, Gotham City by R. Kelly. Okay, never mind. Okay. Miles, what is something you think is overrated?

Something I think is overrated. I think just generally, we have to remind ourselves the perception that this administration is strong, but no, no, fucking weak. This is a bunch, again, it's like five Nazis who have commandeered an old man's corpse to make it do president stuff and sign off on this. Not to say that it's not happening, but that is how this administration is currently functioning. And on top of that, this is kind of, this is we're entering an era where a lot of people who

are not engaged are beginning to see things a little bit and going, what the fuck is all this now? Right. Hold on. the other and we can go on and on and I think this is nothing new to anybody but that's just something that really struck me as I saw a lot of like

just insincere social media activity around stuff like just the amount anyway bots and the like not to say that these people don't exist but a lot there's like 15 of us out here man there's like 15 people in comedy and it's us right now

that's why our show's not bigger there's only like there's only like A couple hundred people. It's like 30 people out there, dude. That's right. The other thing that is really overrated is just like in this era of like brand consolidation and company consolidation, like large companies who have consumed a brand and then using that brand to sell us bullshit like through their familiarity. So very specific example.

And this is nothing new. But I was at a gas station and I was thirsty. I wanted lemonade. Yeah. They didn't have, they didn't have any lemonade except for one and it was dull. And I was like, dole. Oh. The fuck is dull.

Lemonade. Like, I only know, I only know them for, like, overthrowing governments in Latin America for cheap fruit with the help of the U.S. government. What do they know about lemonade? And I'm like, whatever, you know, beggars and choosers and all that, I grab it, I open it, dude. This shit tasted so bad. Real. It wasn't even. I don't even.

I don't know. But if you want to find out, grab yourself a bottle of gold. Dol Llemenade. Or whatever the fuck it is. it was just so chemically and nonsensical, but I, and I'm like, I'm like,

Dole doesn't do this? I go, what of the three beverage companies is behind this? I know Dole is in suddenly a lemonade market, so Pepsi owns Dole. And I was like, oh, okay,

so whatever brand of lemonade Pepsi was like taking L's with, they're like, maybe put the fucking Dole logo on it and people will feel familiar. I'm like, dude, no. And so anyway, it was absolute nonsense.

It tastes terrible. And I do realize, Like, and part of me was, I was disarmed because I was like, well, Dole, they got the fruit company. They must know. Also, just weirdly, I can't accept Dole as lemonade. And I don't know why. Same. There's something, like, I can accept dull with bananas and pineapples.

Those are, those are the dull fruits. Don't try this, uh, fucking lemonade on us. Yeah. No, it was nonsense. And it was basically like, it was basically country. time. But like with a dole logo on it. I'm like, this is so, we're just like in this era where everything you're eating is garbage, but it just has like a sticker from like that does a lot of the work for you because it's a company that used to exist in some people, real food.

It gives you like sense memory. Yeah. Yeah. My overrated, it's just the continuing action movie approach to propaganda, like some of the videos that were released by Department of Homeland Security over the weekend where they like claimed that Renee Good was trying to like ram them. And then they just have like departed music playing in the background. Um, the, the right wing media and like some of the centrist media is really like, we talked last week about how they were writing the story of the, um, kidnapping of Maduro as like this like action movie thing where they're, like that they infiltrate and, you know,

the target is acquired. They have them completely wired. And it's just like they're, they're treating it like it's a mission impossible movie. or like zero dark 30, as Brian the editor said. There's a new weapon that they're excited about that we'll talk about either today or tomorrow where it just feels like... A new illegal sonic weapon.

Yeah, new illegal sonic weapon. Maybe they took a like influencer and we're like, look at this, guys. America is number one. But it's so it's not working. Like the actual footage that we're seeing from the, Ice Raids is, you know, the ice is either obviously the bad guy or they're

like slipping on ice banana peel cartoon style and everybody's cheering. Dude, one of those guys can get a fucking TBI and they're going to like blame terrorism. They're like, no, some idiot was running on ice and then hit the back of his head. Yeah, they're really not built for the ice.

I don't know where they're getting these people. But it's also just like we were talking about. like retroactively, like, looking at every action movie from the 80s up through the next decade will be viewed through the prism of what is happening now.

Like, because they've taken the language of those movies and used it for, like, it'll be like triumph of the will. That's how it will historically be viewed. Which fucking sucks.

I like those movies. But now, like I, I probably won't be able to watch them without thinking about that. And I just feel like it's going to, like it's going to be hard not to watch them without, you know, being like, wow, fuck this country and everything that's going on here.

Yeah, right, right, right. Yeah, the most propagandized people ever. Yeah. Right here. Right here. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back.

We'll talk about the news. A decade of, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers, but it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight. So why did it take so long to catch him? I'm Josh Zeman, and this is Monster, hunting the Long Island serial killer,

And we're back. We're back. And so the Golden Globes happened.

Nikki Glazer opened it saying it's the most important thing happening anywhere in the world, which was, you know, a funny acknowledgement of the fact that this was all bullshit. But it wasn't a lot of acknowledging of that from the people who won awards. Not at all. She began by joking about the Epstein files. she was like this is a bunch of a list people and by that I mean a bunch of people who are on a list that has been heavily redacted

and then made fun CBS News on CBS so Barry Weiss couldn't get to it in time to I guess it'd be so funny like oh we actually have to cancel this broadcast right now right for being thoroughly dragged yeah yeah did you see the podcast bit they did when they were mocking the AMC theaters thing She goes in her car and starts listening to podcasts.

It's like just, it's really funny because it's just kind of treating like, oh, wow, like what about this moment? And it's like, yeah, I kind of like peanut butter cookies more than in the boat. It's like finding the most like inane parts of these podcasts. So it's like the AMC, the Nicole Kidman AMC theaters thing. Yeah. But for podcasts. For podcasts. It was that was like, I caught that part.

It was funny. And then when you're here, they are. Exactly. Exactly. I didn't catch that there was all The broadcast was very different Because then I like people in the booth Like two like calling stuff in between

Like awards or when people are going up to get their awards Yeah Which maybe wasn't new I did catch an Ian Carmel joke though When he said that Chris Pine was on the 77 NBA championship Blazers team As soon as they said Chris Pine member of the 77 NBA champion Trailblazers I go Ian Carmel is

writing on the Golden Globes right now. There was, you know, you mentioned that there were some formal things that were done. It was exciting that the Golden Globe is partnered with Polymarket this year. We got to see the odds for certain categories on the screen, which viewers hailed as a new low and an end times indicator. Like one of the things was like original song, motion picture. Golden K-pop demon hunters, 87%. I mean, I'm not joking.

Probably within the next two years, we'll see this at someone's sentencing. Yeah. Like a murder. They're like, uh, chances he gets the chair? Oh, man. 93% guys, get in. I mean, the odds aren't great.

Luigi Mangione coverage. Oh, it's going to be crazy. That's what I'm. No, right. That is it. The polymarket bets on the Luigi Mangione trial with a Kalshi polymarket ticker during arguments is going to be something else.

Polymarket has secured the exclusive rights to be CNN's partner for the betting odds on Luigi Mangione and whether he is put to death. Yeah, what his sentence will be? What else happened? There's a good joke

about Leonardo DiCaprio. She like joked about, you know, he's did all this stuff in his career all before your girlfriend turned 30 and then which was like, yeah, that's the same joke everybody makes, but she was like, dude, The reason we keep making those jokes is because you've never, we don't know anything about you.

The most in-depth interview you've ever given was in Tiger Beat in 1991. Is your favorite food still pasta pasta and more pasta? Which I think she said everything of DeCaprio lore, which is no girlfriends over 30 and vaping. She also said something about vaping too. Yeah, all right. That's truly all we know. I think we're done here.

Yeah, yeah. One battle after another, one best comedy or musical. Hamnet won best drama and sinners won the bizarre box office achievement award, which is weird because it still has a lot of work to do before it gets to profitability. According to variety. But that Ryan Cuegler gave a speech that, you know, he was like, it was an honor on this movie to know that it was getting a thing. theatrical release.

Right. We would talk about how it would be seen in big theaters on set and be happy about that. Did you catch when Sean Penn was smoking? I did not. I was watching when K-pop Demon Hunters won. I remember I was watching her match. I said, go, what the fuck? As somebody who is familiar with the sight of smoke, I go, somebody is smoking in front of the

camera because you could just see smoke waft up in front of the lens as they were taking the stage. Yeah. And I was like, what the fuck is smoke? What the fuck? What the fuck? And then I go on the internet and lo and behold, it's Sean Penn smoking a full on sig at the table.

Smoking sigs at the table. What the fuck? Next level celebrity. It's just like everything I watched. I was just like, what the fuck is this? He got polymarket on here. You have like a film like one battle after another, which honestly is not really a subversive film.

Like let's be real here. It's like it was a fun, it was a fine watch and with good performances, but in the totality of what it was saying, I'm like, okay, this is not saying anything new or anything like sort of remarkable to me. But like to have those people go up and accept awards,

not mention what the. Yeah. Gestures around. Yeah, gestures broadly. Yeah. Like part of me is like, is that just so you can,

because everybody shook, maybe. I know Mark Ruffalo had some words to say on their like red, red carpet and things like that. But I'm also not surprised considering the fact that the Golden Globes is now like, it's an entity owned by like massive media operations. Like it used to be owned by the, like it was owned by the members of Hollywood Forum Press Association used to own it.

And then Eldridge Capital, Eldridge Capital and. Oh, I love their work. And Penske media bought it completely up. They now own every single dimension of the Golden Globes, which is why you have all this weird shit happening like polymarket stuff and all this other stuff and interestingly enough Penske Media like look into their media portfolio

they own fucking every they own the Hollywood reporter they own variety so like those tweets we joke about about sinners that's from Penske Media and that they also own Billboard the charts it's it's just like such a bizarre thing when you look

at the actual people that now own it and what it's becoming but yeah I don't know. The lack of awareness around the situation was disheartening. But at the same time, no one should be relying on these people to be leading anything. However, you'd think with that platform, you could maybe draw some attention a little bit more. Yeah. I mean, I wonder how much of it is also the fucking complete freakout that happened after Jonathan Glazer gave a speech criticizing Israel, you know.

And just the, we're seeing a lot of Israel's methods of attacking its, its own population and come back in, in the U.S. I wonder if like some of that is also happening here where people are like, ooh, we don't want to make it hot for ourselves. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I think class insulates these people from a lot of the horrors, the rest of us will experience and most people will experience. So like they're not really going to be reliable narrators in that sense.

Yeah, that's true. But I think it is odd to like when. To not make, yeah, when one battle after another wins and they don't mention it. The fucking movie opens with a raid of an ice facility. Right. And you're, but sure. And again, I think that's why I'm like. Yeah.

That's why again, we don't need, we don't, we don't, we don't, these aren't the people that are going to really do much anyway. But, you know, for, for how outspoken you think, I guess that's the thing. It's usually mostly self-serving when a lot of celebrities do that. It's, it's, yeah, I'm not like trying to find out what they think about. I'm not like,

oh, man, well, I got to get the content of their thoughts. It's just like their willingness to say it. Can you inject some discomfort into this, this, very insulated event when many other people are looking at their communities around them,

especially with the people in Minnesota being like, they're put, they're doing everything to cause as much pain and terror in this place as possible. Yeah. I don't know, whatever. Do you think Sean Penn smokes on airplanes.

Like if he flies commercial, which I'm sure he doesn't that often. Flies commercial. If he, like, when he's in first class, like, do you, I feel like, he'd probably be like, is it cool if I smoke in here? And they go, no. Okay, all right, all right, all right.

I had to ask, I had to ask. Just walks off the plane. I don't know. Like that shit, I'm just like, what the fuck is this? Yeah. Smoking in the middle of the thing. But like I said, after I saw that Beyonce concert,

smoking is back, baby. Smoking is back. It's back. They also innovated by, instead of showing clips from the nominated movies and TV shows, they used Google Maps like Pins on each of the nominated actors to, like, show where they were in the audience, like, in, located in the building, which was weird. Oh, like, this person sitting over here. Sitting there. Like, why not just, like, show something from the movie?

Because it's AI, actually. It's an AI integration to the broadcast. Yeah. I guess we should mention that a dog won for best performance in a horror or thriller. And what is this again? Wait, for Good Boy? Yeah, for Good Boy. Oh, shit.

The Star of Good Boy, which is a horror movie told entirely from a dog's perspective, uh, won the, uh, best performance in a horror or thriller movie, uh, category over Ethan Hawke, Alison Brie, Sally Hawkins and several other toilet trained human beings. beings. All right. This was at the ninth annual Astra Film Awards, not at the Golden Globes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But they accepted the award. They didn't do like a cute thing where the dog came up on stage or anything like that. It was like a video with the dog's owner who's also the director of the movie. Next level fucking dog owner. My dog is so cute that like I should make it star in a movie. and then actually do it. Yo, that's so funny. I just love that.

I also, yo, I would be so fucking mad. You're a fucking actor. Yes. I thought at first this story was from the Golden Globes. I was like, those actors would be so pissed if they were like,

they're dressed up for. And then you're fucking, the person that wins goes up, goes, roop, rooop. He said, like,

all the shit that they did for like he because he's doing this this is a um publicity thing that works like every time they did it for the miss piggy like it was the Oscars after one of the Muppet movies there people like got a campaign going to get Miss Piggy a nomination um and so they're kind of doing that he's like like the director slash owner wrote an open letter to the Academy. And I was like, all right. Like, I was on board until he was like, the writing is, despite my critically acclaimed role in the recent film Good Boy, I have been deemed ineligible for the best actor category. Apparently, I am not a good enough boy for you. We ask that you stop lifting your leg on the contribution of myself. Actually, no, take you a word away. Take your word away.

I was like, I was on board. Until the word away, throw it into the fucking fires of Mount Doom now. Oh, maybe I wasn't a good enough boy for you. First of all, motherfucker, you're a dog. Yes. I feel like Will Ferrell in that. Oh, that's right. You're a fucking dog. Lifting up the year.

Yeah. That is one of my favorite Will Ferrell, uh, SNL sketches. Oh, that's right. You're a fucking dog. I love it. So they did, they've done this for, uh, the dog like Jack Russell Terrier from the artist, which was a best picture winner that most people don't remember. It was like, they made a silent film right now, even though you don't need to.

And then there's like a longstanding rumor that Rin Tin Tin got the most votes for best actor category in the very first Oscars. But that is a lie that was embellished by Susan Orlean, the person who wrote the article that adaptation was based on, Merrill Street played her. that movie. Oh, yeah, yeah. I do feel like, I don't know, a category for best non-human actor would be so fun. Yeah.

Like, why not? I think it would be too fun. Like, the people who put a lot of stock in the Academy Awards, like, they would feel like it's cheapening their awards. Like, having a separate category. But also, everything's cheap now. Everything sucks. It doesn't matter.

Yeah. But yeah, I don't know. I just feel like the film awards could be more fun. But do you have enough performance. is every year. You know what I mean? Because then you might be able to spam that award and be like, yo, bro, there's no, let's get, let's, let's, let's get that fucking animal award.

No one's got it. No one's got anything close to the performance that this turtle is going to put it. We actually might be, I shouldn't ask for this because they'll probably do it in order to award AI actresses and actors. Oh, Jesus Christ. I mean, that's, if fucking Polly Market has a ticker at the bottom, trust me. It's really only a matter of time. Yeah.

All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers. But it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught. The answers were there hidden in plain sight. So why did it take so long to catch him? I'm Josh Zeman.

And this is Monster, hunting the Long Island serial killer, the investigation into the most notorious killer in New York, since the son of Sam, available now. on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, I'm Dr. Priyankawali. And I'm Hurricane de Bolu. It's a new year. And on the podcast's Health Stuff, we're resetting the way we talk about our health.

Which means being honest about what we know, what we don't know, and how messy it can all be. I like to sleep in late and sleep early. Is there a chronotype for that, or am I just depressed? We talk to experts who share real experiences and insight. You just really need to find where it is that you can have an impact in your own life and just start doing that. We break down the topics you want to know more about. Sleep, stress, mental health, and how the world around us affects our overall health. We talk about all the ways to keep your body in mind, inside and out, healthy.

We human beings, all we want is connection. We just want to connect with each other. Health stuff is about learning, laughing, and feeling a little less alone. Listen on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Every January, we're encouraged to start over. But what if this year is about slowing down and learning how to understand ourselves more deeply? What if this year is about giving ourselves permission to feel what we've been holding and knowing that it's okay to ask for help?

I'm Mike Delarocha, host of Sacred Lessons. This is a podcast for men navigating story. emotional health, fatherhood, identity, and the unspoken pressures were taught to carry alone. We talk honestly about mental health, about healing generational wounds, and about learning how to show up with more presence and care.

hey there this is dr jesse mills director of the men's clinic at ucla health and host of the mailroom podcast each january guys everywhere make the same resolutions get stronger work harder fix what's broken but what if the real work isn't physical at all to kick off the new year i sat down with dr steve polter a psychologist with over 30 years experience helping men unpack shame and anxiety and emotional pain they were never taught the name. In a powerful two-part conversation, we discuss why men aren't emotionally bulletproof, why shame hides in plain sight, and how real strength comes from listening to yourself and to others. Guys who are toxic, they're immature, or they've got something they just haven't resolved.

Once that gets resolved, then there comes empathy as in compassion. If you want this to be the year, you stop powering through pain and start understanding what's underneath, listen to the mail room. on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. And we're back. We're back. And, uh, all right, back to news about ICE, um, this past weekend in 500 cities across the country, people took to the streets to protest ICE and the murder of Renee Good. Yeah.

And yeah, there is great response, great turnout. It seems like the Trump administration was like, oh, yeah, well, check this shit out. because on Friday they dropped what they seemed to think was a vital new piece of evidence, a cell phone video filmed by the ICE officer who murdered her, who we now know is Jonathan Ross. And it was shared by J.D. Vance who urged his followers to watch the footage for themselves in order to see the reality of what happened. And the video did the exact opposite of what it showed her literally telling the agents,

I'm not mad at you, hard steering away from them. Then after she's been killed, Ross seemingly says a fucking bitch on the thing. Yeah. It's almost like they were just assuming nobody would watch the actual video. I mean, it's also like, interestingly enough for the MAGA people, that was the video they needed to justify it. You know what I mean? I think it was more so to because when her wife. is like, oh, hey, big boy, why don't you get in your car or whatever?

Yeah. They have a moment of this like interaction where this person just like talking back to it, like an ICE officer. And many people like, see, look, they're just, they're chirping up. And then they want to get in their way. What do they think's going to happen? Because I think before maybe some people were like, maybe they did nothing wrong and who knows. But then the crime they committed was, you know, first of all, probably being gay.

Talking shit to ICE agents. Yeah, yeah, yeah, was being a lesbian and talking shit to an ICE. agent therefore all bets are off because it really I mean a lot of people have commented you're like oh yeah like look at this like we're looking at the exact same video clip and people are running in the opposite directions in terms of what their conclusions are but yeah it doesn't certainly doesn't help and part of you thinks maybe that's also part and parcel because they're doing everything they can to provoke the entire fucking state of Minnesota but really Minneapolis into you know creating some kind of pretext for more of a power grab.

Just take over. Yeah, that guy, you see, they got that guy Jonathan Ross out quick. They're like, his house, they're like, I don't know, some people came in and collected stuff and moved him out of the house, basically. We still don't know where this person is. And put it on the back of a truck. Yeah, on a backpack and just ran off with it. And yeah, like, you know, there's a lot of, everyone's like, what's happening here?

everyone's saying that the FBI investigation obviously compromised, but it's really doing nothing as far as we know. I haven't heard anything of a substance. The only thing I've heard is that they're preventing an investigation. Yes, right. Essentially their role in it. Yeah. It's also wild that like, so the footage is shot by him as he is pulling his gun out to murder her.

You're not, you're not supposed to like be on your phone while driving or doing anything important and the fact that he's like got his phone in one hand and is like pulling his gun out with the other is I think a lot of people maybe on the right saw that it was body cam footage he's like doing

he's like live streaming a fucking it's crazy. Yeah well yeah I mean I think part of it was like I think Christian Gnome is like well they have to document these instances where they're being it's just a bunch of fucking nonsense you know I mean like there's the moment like you can tell he switches hands

so he can get his hand on his pistols. Like, it's all in there. But, you know, this is like, this is the kind of thing when you see and you, you get fundraising texts from the Democratic Party saying, like, the midterms are on. And you're like, get fucking for real right now.

That's crazy, man. I mean, I don't know. I mean, we say that for decades now to these people. But like, these people, like the Democrats, trust me, there are a lot of people who are like, what is going on? and like, okay, let's presume you win the midterms. Then what?

Right. Are you going to, are you going to fucking bring all of these people to court as many people are asking? Because this, whatever this is, is not a legitimate agency. It's a terrorist organization with full government funding. What, what's the plan for after? I know Ruben Gallego posted something about like, hey, like the entire chain of command needs to be like brought to trial. And you're like, okay, but will you?

Yeah. Is that a mainstream take or is that just from enough people who have been hearing from their constituents who are absolutely beyond upset about everything that's happening? That is inspiring that kind of take. But it will be interesting. Like also in the presidential, you know, election, like if there are candidates who are running on the like full prosecution of everybody involved in this administration. Yeah.

Take it. Because that's what people are going to want. you know, that's going to be very popular. And they're probably going to say some form of like, well, we're actually going to bring back this child tax credit that will give you a nominal bit of savings on your tax bill. And that will be good for a family. It's like, no, you also like the thing that's coming to light for a lot of people too is just how far gone the U.S. is, especially with this like militarized police state.

And that's something that also has to be addressed. And that's, again, that's where we're. also talking about something that's such an ideological extreme for the people that are currently as constituted as the Democratic Party, that you're like, is this, is that even the thing that will actually put an end to this? Not just stop it, but like end it. But I think that's probably a linguistic difference that maybe people should listen out for it. We don't just want to stop things. Like, is there going, can we put an end to this, you know, nightmare that we have not addressed since the beginning of this country.

In terms of how the footage was reported on, CNN reported the footage merely raises new questions. I feel like TMZ was the only one that published an accurate headline, which said new angle of fatal shooting. SUV appears to pull away from agents. Right. Dark Day is when TMZ, who's somehow one of the few places.

I mean, like, it was interesting to see the back and forth, the use of passive voice in headlines, too. Yeah. Some places came out. and were like shooting this person shot and killed this person. You can see then like some of the, those editorial rooms maybe getting something where like the voice started getting a little more vague

and a little less this person shot and killed this person for no reason. There was an ice involved shooting that occurred. Yeah. I saw less of it to start, which was really interesting. And then I was like, oh, I'd imagine the journalists were writing as they should be. And then maybe someone's like,

can we take a little bit, a little less intent off that headline? It's kind of giving people the right impression. We've got to be careful not to give people the right impression here, guys. All right. And then the Jerome Powell story, all of a sudden I was seeing videos of Jerome Powell addressing the camera over the weekend. I was like, is he president now?

So we've talked before about Trump's effort to, basically oust him from his office and like he doesn't really have the ability to do that. And so he was trying to use like trying to cede this conspiracy, this investigation into renovations of the Fed's DC headquarters as a means to do it. This is so back in the summertime, they're like at a construction site and Trump complained about the massive price tag while pal is like, what are you talking about? He's just like, you can't actually say that because it's not true. And then he like realizes that Trump's numbers include the construction of a new

building that had been completed five years ago. Right. So he like points that out in like on camera. But he has over the weekend released a video statement revealing that the Department of Justice served the federal reserve with grand jury subpoenas threatening criminal indictments over the building project, which Powell argues is just a pretext to try to take over the central bank. So just like more more power grab. Yeah. Yeah. His terms up in May as the chair, but he's still a governor until 2028. And a lot of people are, I mean, I think with him saying that,

he's like, yeah, just so you know, like the Fed's independence was a lot of the reason why some people would buy like U.S. bonds and things like that. And now with basically, he's saying like, look, Trump's going to try and put some flunky in here to just do dementia monetary policy. Right. Because you've heard how this guy talks, right? Like, he's just going to be like,

and then we're going to bring the interest rate down, and the money's going to go up. And that's what he thinks is going to happen. And it's not. You know what I mean? Like, you're going to have inflation like you've never seen. Yeah. Yeah.

Inflation, like we've never seen. sir, that's a bad that's a bad thing actually. They say they've never seen anything like it. These numbers, not even not even close. It's going to go way up inflation.

People are going to think Miles Argentina was ran by a Scandinavian socialist or something. That's how wacky we're going to go with it. But yeah, the U.S. is I mean, right now, like a lot of the economic headlines are like, oh, everyone's in sell America mode

or they're like, get rid of your bonds and other things because like yeah Trump is just going to who knows what the fuck he's going to do but it's not going to be good it's not going to be good

not going to be good I feel like there's been a real flurry of activity from Trump like his whole thing where he's like they let me rest they let me go rest at Marlago was like bad for everyone

because now he's like got a week's worth of energy to just fuck everything up yeah and just scream at the top of his lungs about whatever's it's really I mean like everything you see

it just looks like it's all ego it's all impotent man having to thrash and move to prove that he can do thing and everything feels like that he can do Venezuela I'm going I'm the president I'll take Greenland

I don't wear whatever like it's just a yeah what was the there was also the footage of him at the like with he had a televised meeting with oil executives.

Oh, with Marco Rubio lit him the note that was like back to Chevron. And he was like, it says back to Chevron. What does that mean, Marco?

What does that mean, Marco? What is that mean, Marco, that's, I'm trying to pass you a note on the low. The way Marco Rubio's face turns, he's like, uh,

uh, that motherfucker looks like he's, like, the alien from men in black wearing a Marco Rubio suit. Like he's, he looks like he's dying a little bit. Yeah. And I mean, the other thing, too, after that meeting, like, a lot of those oil companies, like, I'm sorry, man, there's like, there's just not enough political stability.

This plan doesn't make sense. Yeah. We're not going to go there. So I don't know what you think is going to happen. It's like the actual industry itself requires a lot of investment. This isn't, this isn't a good deal. And thanks so much for thinking of us, your best friends in the oil and gas industry as you, you know, go after another nation. But sorry. right. Our analysts say this place is quote, uninvestable. Yes, uninvestable. So it's, I mean, it's just like even his like plans that seem fairly straightforward, go to country with a lot of oil, sell, like get the oil out of that country, like are not thought. Yeah, create perception that because we steal their oil and sell it to make money now that I have that money, we don't. Right. And just reeks of old man, having no restraint and just going into these,

what do we call these quagmires, debacles. Yeah. And now he keeps doubling down on the Greenland thing. And you see me like, yeah, he's not going to do that. Are you sure, dude? This guy has lost his mind. So he's not operating anything other than like how a toddler would be like, oh, I can't, oh, I can't eat this whole box of cookies. Watch me.

And then I'll vomit. That's right. And then you're like, yeah, here we go. That was also the meeting where he like stands up from the table to like go look at the ballroom construction. And then people are replacing what he's looking at with a lot of fun stuff. Yeah, yeah. It's either way, it doesn't make him look good. But that doesn't matter at all.

So many of the pictures are just like J.D. Vance with a big dumb smile in his face of Marco Rubio with like his eyes closed. Just being like, what the fuck is going on? Get me out of here. Get me out of here. start doing drugs. All right. Those are some of the things that are trending on this Monday morning. We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other. Be kind to yourselves. Get your vaccines. What you still can. Get your flu shots. Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye.
