Hello, the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the weekly Zeitgeist.

These are some of our favorite segments from this week, all edited together into one nonstop infotainment laugh stravaganza. So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. What is something, Caitlin, from your search history that's revealing about who you are? I googled the phrase platonic fan fiction because I wanted to see we're all familiar with erotic fan like just yeah straight up hardcore shippery shipping yeah yeah but uh i was like hmm is platonic fan fiction a thing because i want to start writing it yeah and i wanted to make sure that i had invented it i don't know if i did or not. The Google search didn't yield much in the way of information.

There was a... I think at this point it's safe to say that you have invented it. There was a work of fan fiction that was like a crime-solving detective novel with Joe Biden and Barack Obama. Oh, that's pretty... That sounds platonic.

Yeah, it's platonic. They didn't make love during the course of the book in any way. In the first two acts. Right. In any way that's pretty. That sounds platonic. Yeah, it's platonic. They didn't make love during the course of the book in any way. In the first two acts. Right. In any way that was overt. Yeah. There are parts where they wake up in bed together smoking cigarettes. One of them smoking a cigarette.

Barack does smoke cigarettes throughout the book, actually, because they're just like, I mean, come on, this guy's clearly smoking a pack a day behind the scenes. But yeah, so I think you did. Who do you ship platonically? Well, okay, so this all started when, not to brag or anything, but I did a show recently that Natalie Portman was in the audience. What? Yeah.

What? Yeah. What? What? So I was like, oh my gosh. What the fuck? Where? Natalie Portman saw like make jokes and be funny what if she like really wants to be my friend now

oh no so it's gonna be it's gonna be fan fiction where you're friends with natalie yeah i mean that's just it's called a stalker's fantasy right oh my goodness what do you think in your mind what do you what are you and Natalie up to? We're just going on a crusade to smash the patriarchy together. And we're also going to co-star in several movies together. Oh, nice. You know, a lot of stuff. Yeah, I see the two of you lifting an Oscar together for a film that you wrote and executive produced.

You got Best Picture. You got Best Screenplay. You're the new Ben and together for a film that you wrote and executive produced. You got best picture. You got best screenplay. You're the new Ben and Matt. You and Natalie. I mean, there needed to be a new one. Yeah. Oh, gosh. It's been too long.

Whose house do you go to first? Assuming this is like a Kill Bill scenario where you guys are the bride together, whose house do you go to first? Moby's? Oh. Or Jonathan? Oh, you're doing go to first? Moby's? Oh, or Jonathan. Okay. So you're doing murders.

Yeah. Or just smashing. Oh, wow. Because before it started like just a friendship of two creative people. And now we got the murder of Andrew. I'm not saying a murder. I'm just saying that you gotta,

you gotta let him know. Um, sure. Um, yeah, we'll go to, we'll go to Moby's restaurant first yeah yeah smash some plates yeah do a thing where she never dated me god this guy who owns this place I forgot he owns it he

thinks we dated right and then he's like oh hey uh everything's everything's on me hey honey oh um wait well who's the author who like she had a email exchange with that like got published and people uh jonathan uh saffron foer uh and he was clearly in love with her uh i mean everyone is it turns out even platonically romantically thatber. That's tough because can you smash the patriarchy when everyone just immediately falls in love with you the second you walk into the room? I think that's our greatest weapon. Yeah, there you go. Okay.

It's like you whisper in their ear and like, why don't you walk off a cliff? Yes, for you. For Natalie. I don't know what's going on. Do it for Natalie. She said she wanted you to walk off a cliff. Also first sign this legal agreement and then jump off She said she wanted you to walk off a cliff. Oh, so first sign this legal agreement.

Yeah. And then jump off a cliff. Take a long walk off a cliff. I'm not saying we need to murder people to dismantle the picture. No, we know how feminists are. We get it. Y'all just want to murder. We just want to murder men.

Dr. Manhattan vaporize everyone's ball sacks. Dude, I told you not to spoil Watchmen for me. It's like that scene in Robocop where he shoots the dude's dick. It's just Dr. Manhattan vaporizing ball sacks. Kill it, Cam. Let's talk about it. Kill it. Kill it.

Yeah, he, look, as I said, I've talked about his lyrics. This man, he's something else. And he was on this podcast called It's The Real. And there's this clip that was going around of him talking about he's a little bit weary. He's a little cynical when it comes to this whole dinosaur archaeology business. What's up with all these bones? Just listen to him talk about this. It's kind of amazing.

I have fights with people about dinosaurs and their existence all the time. Wait, what? Yeah. As in you don't believe dinosaurs existed? I'm not believing or disbelieving. There's, like, no proof. Like, because they throw these big bones, paws up in the museum and be like, yo, these are the people that were here before us. I mean, palm me or whatever. That is the proof before us. I mean, no, that is the proof.

You're looking for the proof. That is the proof. So these bones didn't. So was the evolution class your senior year? Strong enough to put up in museums and they didn't crumble anything like that. I'm not, I'm not necessarily going for that one. I'm not saying it didn't happen. You are absolutely saying it didn't happen. I'm not going going for that one. I'm not saying it didn't happen. You were absolutely saying it didn't happen.

I'm not going off museum facts. There are like 2,000 years of proof. I've been to every museum when I was young. I'm like, word. So they just found all these bones and glued them together. Yes. Yo, The Real is... I love him.

Shout out to The Real. That was my favorite celebrity interview I've heard in a long time. Especially to be like, no, that's exactly what you are saying. It didn't happen. I'm not saying it did. I'm not saying it didn't. I'm just saying I don't believe it. Yeah, like later on, they're like, are you a flat earther?

And he was like, oh, hell no. The earth is round. Okay. All right. It's weird. It seems like the thing he's really dubious about is this idea that these million-year-old bones aren't just dusty little brittle things that are just falling apart. So he doesn't understand how fossilization works.

Right. I think that's exactly it. Right. Or it's like, I don't know. I don't know. I was having trouble. They put them all together, really. How do they find strong enough glue?

Exactly. This is a scam. I would love a science podcast with Killacam though. Archaeologists blowing his mind. This is the thing that's going to end up killing our

species is the argument. I'm not saying it happened. I'm not saying it didn't happen with global warming. Right? Yeah. I'm not saying it's happening. I'm not saying it's not happening. I'm just saying, you know, there's lots of explanations. Start the global warming registry.

I've been saying this. If you don't believe it, sign the fuck up so we know where to kick everybody's ass to to the scorched parts i'm not saying russia didn't interfere i'm not saying they did interfere you're saying ukraine you don't know that ukraine didn't did you were you watching everyone in the city of ukraine when they during the entire 2016 election exactly i rest my case, your honor. What is something you think is overrated? Overrated? Working from home. Okay. Yeah.

I feel you. In theory, it's good. It's nice to work from home every once in a while, you know, like if you have an office. But being there 24-7, there's no line in between your work life and your personal enjoy your time life.

Yeah. Because your work is just right there. There's no separation. So it can hurt your work because you'll start like playing around and fucking off. Or it can hurt your like actual mental health time. Yes. Because it's always like right there. Do you go out somewhere now to break up that time and space?

Yeah. When I work, I got to go to one of three coffee shops. Yeah, there is three. There's the new Starbucks on Hillhurst. Oh, love it. It's immaculate.

It's palatial. And then, goddammit, I'll switch it up and I will go to Spoke Bicycle Cafe in Frogtown. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you bike there though? Yeah. You bike there like with your... I in Frogtown. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you bike there, though? Yeah.

You bike there with your... I have a bicycle. Yeah, yeah. That I ride. That's sick. Wait, hold on. Guess how many wheels are on it. I was about to say, one wheel or nine?

Four. Whoa. Thank you. It's made by Ford. It has a steering wheel. Bob and Escape. It's my favorite bicycle. I have a Model T that I drive down the bike lane.

Yeah, that place is dope, actually. It's really cool. Great food. Great food. And It's really cool. Great food. Great food. And it's like outside. Great food. And it doesn't have to have great food is the thing. Like the ambiance is such where, yeah, you don't need it.

But my girlfriend works from home as well, and that's not great for a relationship. Holy shit. So the both of you are like at home. Just around each other. Yeah. Yeah. Just freelancing. Just wow.

Yeah. Wow. Does she go out or she's able to sort of be like, no, work time. She goes out more than I do. Right, right, right, right, wow. Yeah. Wow. Does she go out, or she's able to sort of be like, no, work time. She goes out more than I do. Right, right, right, right, right. But no, we're trying to find a balance, and it's working out. Because, yeah, you don't want to,

you want, like, quality time. Check out one of those WeWorks. Yeah, I hear, how's their IPO, by the way? I hear they're just tearing it up right now. I put a lot of money into that. Fucking SoftBank fucked me again. Yeah, SoftBank also did, too. They're like,

wouldn't we just do it? Boing, oing, oing, oing, oing, oing, oing. But the oh no version of boing, oing, oing, oing, oing. Oh no. There it is. There it is. It's time to talk about Camila Caballo.

This whole episode is just one deep sigh. I know. It really is. This is maybe not so disturbing. Havana Unana. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, what did she do? She said bad stuff.

So she, some posts have been unearthed okay from when she was a child like 15 15 and she's still quite too old she's still yeah it was like five six seven years ago i think that just just okay let's go on so i like racism i do racism tumb Tumblr. Yeah. That is funny. That is Tumblr. Which is crazy. Like to go down for Tumblr, like you can go down for Twitter like the rest of us. Right.

But so if you go on her Tumblr, there are several, I can't even count how many racist re-blogs and posts mostly having to do with Asian and black people. and posts mostly having to do with asian and black people um there's one where there's a a woman who is like i guess guarding a basketball but the basketball has been replaced with a bucket of kfc a white woman and then there's a black woman guarding her uh with very large wide eyes underneath because she's she won't that chicken right's funny. There's posts on here that say, uh, nigglet. Um, there's one that is from, do you remember that running game?

The, um, temple or temple of, right. Uh, temple run, temple run. Yes.

Except for it says run, nigga run. Um, there's a, there's a lot of like, I can go on and on and on. There's like several. So like this is,

I mean this, Shanna, there's a lot. One mistaken. Oh, I'm scrolling, honey. The receipts are... This is like a CVS receipt of racism. As long as you are tall.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, okay. This guy ought to deal with all racism. Okay, so what is she saying? But she was what? She was a teenager? Yeah. Come on, this is no...

Can we read her apology? Yeah, let's read her apology. Oh, that's two. So she said, also her Tumblr was called John 316. So it was like the Bible passage. Wow. For God so loved the world that he gave his only one son and forever believes in him shall not perish.

So it's her. Except for the Negroes. She's in the Christianity. In the Asian. believes in him shall not perish so it's her except for the negroes she's in the christianity she's in this christianity thing for uh for the eternal life thing she's like yeah and before you read this i just want you guys to know that yes she is latinx she identifies as a latina but being latina does not mean it's not a race you know I mean? So there are white Latinas and there are black Latinas. And you know, and everything in between.

And people forget that and think like, oh, well, this is somewhat of a minority. And I'm like, no, she is still a white woman. Yeah. Yeah. So she doesn't have a get out of racism free card. When I was younger, so this is her apology. When I was younger, I used language that i'm deeply ashamed of and will regret forever i was uneducated and ignorant and once i became aware of the history and the

weight and true meaning behind this horrible and hurtful language i was deeply embarrassed i ever used it sweetheart you were 15 and and and it's what it's weird because i don't like cancel culture in the way of if you say something 10 years ago, you couldn't possibly have evolved and grown from your stupidity because we all have shit that we had to learn. Absolutely. But for this, it was like, you had a passion for bigotry. She went hard on this. Honey. Okay, so how old is she right now

22 22 so that was 7 years ago yes I mean do you know what I mean yeah

and I mean it was 2012 girl I guess she thought the world was gonna end so nobody was ever gonna see your vlogs I guess but Camila Cabello has so much racist

and hateful things on her page that if I was a racist and I was on Tumblr I would follow her for her hot racist. Like, she was giving it. This one is, yeah. She was a reliable source.

She's got some content. For bigotry. She had a bigot blog. It's not like one bad statement or a couple bad tweets. A couple bad tweets, a couple iffy tweets, no. Oh, wow. Why do Asians speak the Ching Chong language? Yeah.

Oh, my gosh. That's another one that she tweeted. Yeah, I'm glad you got to that one so that we do this. Because she wasn't just doing black people. She did spread it out. She was equal in her hatred. Yep. Truly.

God bless. Oh, my gosh. I don't know how you recover from that. You know, or should you? Do you know what I mean? Yes, you're right. Apologies and people are allowed to change. And grow.

But I don't know if you have changed or grown. And I said this when we were researching earlier because as a performer and actor, the first television deal that I signed, I went on my Twitter and I shouldn't say this because people are probably going to go on my Twitter. But I started searching to see if I was problematic. It was the first't say this because people are probably going to go on my Twitter but I started searching to see if I was problematic

like it was the first thing I did because I was like you know before 2014 we were all saying dumb shit I was in college I was in high school when I got a Twitter which no one in high school

should have a Twitter right so we all say ignorant shit and I am I don't want to cancel anybody forever but it's like Camila Sweetheart

first of all them songs not that great of bops it's not we already are truly that dedicated to you or your career please don't give us a reason to say no yes

now on the other hand she didn't delete it yeah Cats has come out it is apparently, uh, so the one, uh,

I'll give you two reviews. I don't want to spoil anything, but, one person said is too horny for its own good. Oh, see, I don't think it's possible. Noel,

I've seen some things in my life that I could definitely say. Uh, I could apply that too. And then a furry said, somebody who identifies as a furry said, furries want something they can fuck fat to, and Cat's movie is not that. Damn, but not horny enough. Right. Yeah, too horny or not horny enough.

Damn. The ballet aspects are a display of human beauty and movement and form. If you CGI that, it'll be trashy. Also, Cats is not a particularly comfortable watch to begin with. It's meant to be like,

well, Cats. Okay. Well, first of all, I would be remiss not to mention that Cats, as an animal, have eight nipples, and that's cat facts with Caitlin. Yes. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm so sorry to say that.

But it's true. Cat facts don't lie. So cats have eight nipples or some other number of nipples depending on the cat. Is that true? Yeah. How about just one nipple? They probably don't have just one nipple unless they got in an accident. Well, true.

There's not a uniform number of cat nipples? Some of them have six. Fewer nipples? Yeah, fewer. Some of them have up to, I think, 10. How about that? Yeah. It just, I guess, depends on the kitty.

Cat facts with Caitlin. But I think 10. How about that? Yeah. I just I guess depends on the kitty. Cat facts with Caitlin. But I think the average is eight. So that's what I stick with. Now the problem the main problem with this film Cats.

Right. Is that. The anatomy. The anatomy is extremely inaccurate. Now we see some of like the. Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift. We see Rebel of like the um taylor taylor swift we see rebel uh wilson like they had jennifer hudson oh my god are all these people really in this movie they idris elba's in this movie idris elba jason derulo well he he makes sense and as we talked about earlier in the week in our most important news up to this story, they had to CGI his dick out because it was so prominent. Jason Derulo. Wow. So they didn't have to do all the dicks, just his?

Just his. That's his claim. Okay, Jason. Yeah. Now, okay. So for the women playing the cat roles they have we see them have like breast lumps but only two of them yeah

if you're gonna make an anatomically accurate cats movie yeah there should be eight breasted cats I think you are expressing the problem that the furry had because the furry says we want something we can fuck fab too but then immediately says

it's about expressing the beauty of the human form not the cat right form we so we need to it's too balletic we need to be sexualizing cats yes that's what i'm saying absolutely i mean if we're gonna start we might as well go all the way the beautiful act of cats making love to one another as we all know and the beautiful sounds they make beautiful and tender love making that happens between two alley cats the original cats

from the 80s I have such a complicated fraught relationship with this IP because you know we were talking about Avatar right and Avatar was this giant thing yep but now we ain't got to think about it ever again right i was hoping cats was like this because it terrified me when i was a child yeah because you would only ever see like i would only ever

see like commercials for it right in the middle of shit that didn't have anything to do with that right and i'm like what the fuck is that that it looks weird and shit did you ever see it no i never would have and and i would hope i hoped what i hoped is that the opportunity would never even arise for me to see anything like this and now that it's back and now that it's done in this way that's provocative everybody's talking about it it's like one of my worst nightmares yes so the more i learned about cats the stranger it got because the so there's no story there's no story right like it's just a series of songs tied together by the premise that like one of the cats is dying but it's like very vague the the main attraction, one of the big innovations, sorry, I get choked up

when I talk about cats. One of the big innovations of Cats, the musical, is that they come out into the audience. Yes. See? They come out into the audience

and like crawl over you. Everything that I was afraid of is real. Right, exactly. It's exactly as terrifying as you thought it was. So Tom Hooper, who made The King's Speech. An Academy Award winning film.

Yes. I still, yes. I would rank that as last on my Star Wars movie list. Wait, okay. Isn't the story, and I've never seen the stage production of Cats, but what I'm gathering from the trailers for the movie is that Judi Dench Cat has to pick, she gets to pick someone. Judi Dench is, it's just the best cast ever.

And Ian McKellen is as well. So Judi Dench Cat is like, hey, one of you gets to live a new life and I'm choosing which of which cat of you like cluster of clatter, I think of alley cats, um, gets to, I don't know if it's like a nine lives kind of thing where they're all about to die. And then like one of them gets to be reborn or like just gets to keep living. That's what I'm uh please uh listeners correct me if i'm wrong or let me know what the the loose premise of this thing is here but yeah are we talking about rum tum tugger what we're talking about mr mistoffelees

we couldn't say yes jelly low rum these jelly Rum? These sound very sexy. These names are doing it for me. Skimble Shanks? That one sounds like a disease. That sounds like, yeah, sounds like something you get if your chicken pox come back. I got some Skimble Shanks in my hips. Carbuckety?

Griddlebone? These are all cat names, yes. Or Blue Singers. Rumpel Teaser. Uh-uh. And Bustopher Jones. Oh, good one. That's a hell of a name.

Bustopher? Bustopher Jones. Jesus. That is, hell yeah. Yeah, these are all cats who are eligible to die or something. And then Judi Dench is like, one of you. It's about an afterlife, right? Like one of the cats dies and ascends to the afterlife.

Oh, so it's basically the series Lost or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lost is based on cats. Cats, yes. So that's the general premise from what I gather. But yeah, I don't think there's not really a story. James Corden's just sort of like bouncing around. James Corden's just sort of like bouncing around. James Corden.

Yes. He looks like he was born to wear this costume. I agree. Yeah. Like it's, he's the one, like the whole trailer, I was like, what the fuck is going on here? And then he showed up and I was like, oh, okay. Oh, yeah, yeah.

This all makes sense now. Well, people have been talking for a while about how like weird just the imagery is of the cat. But I think the worst part about it is that they don't have cat noses. They just have human noses. If they had just done a little bit of makeup and made them have little cat noses, I think it would be far better than what it is. But because we have human noses, but then these cat ears and fur bodies.

There's so much dissonance. I think I figured it out. Yeah. They put out the trailer to start the uproar. Now you have to start to add the nipples and noses movement. So they'll change it like the Sonic movie. They did change it. That's what they've been doing.

So they did the premiere the other night, and Tom Hooper, the director, said he had been working on the movie up until the previous morning, and he put the finishing touches on it after a 36-hour-long work session. They were still CGI-ing. So this is what's strange to me.

You look at that and you're like, oh, it's a bunch of actors in bad cat costumes. Yeah. It is not. Those are actors who did mo-cap. They were in motion capture with the little light bulbs on them. Right, right, right.

And then they CGI-ed shitty cat costumes onto them. Yikes. And that is what they were adjusting because people were like, no, it looks bad. And so they were adjusting the shitty cat costume CGI. When is this supposed to be released? I think this weekend. I have a ticket to see it on Friday morning. I'm going to be first in line to see it on Friday morning. I'm going to be

first in line to see Cats. And you're seeing Star Wars tonight. So I keep up to date with my movies that no one likes coming out. I can't wait to hear from you. I'll text you first thing. Do you do drugs, Caitlin? No, I'm extremely

bad at drugs. I can't even smoke weed without having a panic attack. So you do drugs, Caitlin? No, I'm extremely bad at drugs. I can't even smoke weed without having a panic attack. So you're going to go see Cats Friday morning. Sober. Stone sober. Stone sober. I will not pull a jack and get drunk. You might have to.

You should definitely drink. By the way, getting a panic attack never stopped me from smoking weed i continued to smoke weed despite the fact that it gave me a panic attack because i wanted to be cool yeah yeah so just a thing about me how cool do you guys know real cool your chest was imploding when my chest was imploding and i was certain everybody was thinking about the fact that i hadn't talked the whole night. And that I was, had my hands in my pocket,

even though I was sitting down. Uh, man, some of the journalists at the premiere liked the movie one, uh, but yeah. Okay. We already talked about too horny for its own good.

Uh, we, we have not released the embargo on miles as miles as mom is a film critic. And she gave what my favorite review of a movie I've ever heard, but we will, we will reveal that after her review is published. That's it.

Great. I, I, I'm so excited to see it. I really are. I'm so excited to see it. You really are, aren't you? I mean, in a way that I know it's going to be an absolute train wreck. And I just want to be on the train for the wreck. Right.

Yeah. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. 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. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you.

Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up?

Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago.

We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.

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.

followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these... We have, we think, Latin culture. There's a mention of blood sausage in Homer's Odyssey that dates back to the 9th century B.C. B.C.? I didn't realize how old

the hot dog was. Listen to Hungry for History as part of the My Cultura podcast network, available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, everyone.

And we're back. The president is, as we speak about star wars for 45 minutes the president what space force is being impeached by say space force i'm talking about impeaching this creed uh and he's not dealing well with it i mean i don't know what anyone expected he sent an angry impotent letter uh addressed to his democratic colleagues uh that was just ranting and somewhat incoherent and uh you can tell it's proofread by someone punched up for language fanciness because he uses uh various words that seem like they're outside of his range. But he claims that he doesn't think it's going to change anyone's mind. He's just doing it for the purpose of history.

And, yeah, he's being impeached and freaking out on Twitter, which is... Well, in character for him, I guess. Yep. It's what he does. Yes. well in character for him i guess yep it's what he does yes um do you guys want to hear 30 of the most unhinged lines or a couple of the 30 most and then let's rank them afterward yes this is what we do you have cheapened the importance of the very ugly word impeachment exclamation point that's so weird just a lot of twists and turns in that. So many adjectives.

Yeah. Cheapened the importance of an ugly word, which it seems like he has esteem for the word, but then it's a very ugly word. You dare to invoke the founding fathers in pursuit of this election nullification scheme uh what yeah that sounds like dr doom i know it does there's a lot of exclamation points in this letter how many exclamation points are there in the uh constitution i would guess none zero yeah

hell of a lot of semicolons but not no Lots of ellipses Yeah I don't know Fuck it let's not talk about this letter I'm over it I'm over this guy How are you guys feeling about the upcoming election Do you think he's going to get reelected Oh gosh I don't know I really truly don't have

much faith in humanity anymore so I don't know. I really truly don't have much faith in humanity anymore. So I don't know. I think not, but I don't know. We all thought Hillary was going to get nominated or to get elected. Win the election. Yeah, but that didn't happen. So I don't know So I didn't know.

I don't know. What do you think, Mike? I chalked a lot of what happened when the last election up to people being kind of apathetic and feeling like, oh, Hillary's just going to win. So like everybody stayed home.

Yeah. So I remember like right after he got inaugurated the women's marches and all that like oh yeah he's gonna get totally destroyed in the next election because people are dialed in now like they know that they need

to like come out and vote and I've been coasting on that hope for the past like two and a half years three years but now like day by day i find my cynicism right creeping up and i'm getting scared because his fan his supporters are getting no they're fans no they're fans that's what they are his wrestling fans are getting angrier and angrier and stirred up more and more yeah what's his approval rating these days do we know it's still below his disapproval rating by a good 10 percentage

points okay but that gives me some hope well you know the other thing is too there was a lot of weird shit that had to happen for all those people's minds to get changed the first time like for them for their anger and their frustration to be capitalized upon in a way that would perfectly help him all that facebook trickery and all that shit. Yeah. They can't necessarily do all that shit again. Right. So he has who he has.

They're going to try. Of course they're going to try. I think it's a little harder to do now. Right. Because a lot of the Facebook shit was actually instilling apathy in people. It was just being like just tamping down people's enthusiasm for hillary clinton it's just like yeah you don't have to vote for trump but like you don't want to vote for her right and you know i think that ended up swaying the election i mean so so much of it came down to

like 2 000 votes or 20 000 votes in certain states so well oh my, don't remind me about know i don't pray to anybody but charles darwin i'm praying to him um that uh he does not get re-elected but uh i don't know i'm not i haven't become apathetic but i have just lost a lot of hope in the system. Not that I had much to begin with. The British election is really like... That was a punch in the face. Yeah, that was... Boris Johnson did that.

Did you see that Love Actually homage that Boris Johnson did? That scene from Love Actually where the creepy guy has all the... Signs? Yeah, the signs guy has all the- Signs? Yeah, the signs. He did that as a campaign ad, and it made me throw up in my mouth. The guy shows up to his best friend's house and tells his best friend's wife that he's in love with her,

but quietly so his best friend's wife that he's in love with her. Right. But quietly, so his best friend doesn't hear. Doesn't hear. And it's like, that's love. That's what love is, actually. That's romantic.

That's actually... That's like being a fucking human monster. Like, that is the worst thing. And it's clearly written by a guy because the woman's like, oh, it's so sweet. It's so romantic. And then she runs out and kisses him. And it's clearly written by a guy because the woman's like, oh, it's so sweet. And then she runs out and kisses him. And it's like, what if your best friend had opened the door?

Yeah. What was your plan, dude? Oh, fuck yourself. That movie. That whole movie can go right ahead and fuck itself. What is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? This is one. Did I look some up i think i did let me see um that i know to be false um oh i okay

how about how about how about the one this is the first thing that came to my head uh the myth that like i think that that it's very old-fashioned but men don't think women want sex that's a myth do you mean yeah there's still that sort of like, oh, girls, you know, you got to beg them for it. Right. What are you talking about? Yeah. That's really old fashioned. Right.

I don't know who told the men of the world that. And I think that, I think, I think, you know, the generations in like millennials, they don't believe that anymore. But like dudes in their like 30s and 40s, I mean watch old school comedians. They're talking about, oh my wife, and I'm like really? Are you kidding me? Oh it drives me nuts.

But that's because maybe they're, I think there was a time period where marriage was also, more so about like contractual agreements and security. Yeah security, absolutely. Two incomes and a house. So maybe your wife just didn't want to fuck your ass. Right. Ever.

Ever. He's a nice man. He comes home. Yeah, exactly. I remember my mom saying about my dad that my father was a good provider. And I was like, oh. Wow, how romantic.

Oh, dad. Provider of that dick. Burn cold-blooded, mom. Provider of that dick. That's what you should have said. Provider of that dick. That's what you should have said. Provider of that dick, mom! Oh my gosh. Yeah, but I do feel like that is dudes telling on themselves.

When they're like, Adam Carolla loves to talk about how his wife should have more sex with him. That's exactly it. Maybe you should ask what she's interested in seeing more of from you.

See what makes her horny. I don't know. Come out. Put some oil on your body. I don't know. Try something new. There's a comic that, oh God,

in Canada that I know that I grew up with and he always had one about keep it exciting in the bedroom. He's like, freak her out.

Come home and freak her out. Let her come home and she can't find you. I don't even know where he is. You know what I mean? Like that kind of thing. And then, you know, he's like, you gotta keep her on her toes.

Make her a little scared. Stage her house to look like a cracker. Exactly. Surprise, baby. I just come, you know, something like that. Fake your own death. Yeah, fake your own death. And then jump up. And then, yes, and that's great. Straight, baby. I just come, you know, something like that. Fake your own death. Yeah, fake your own death. And then jump off.

And then yes, and that's great. Straight into love. That's makeup sex like nothing. My man is dead. Yeah, but then you're like way too excited. Thank God. And he's just like shit. And then he's like, oh, forget it.

I'm not going to wake up now. You start calling people. Oh, my God. It's like, hang out. It's done, girl. We finally did it. It's done. He's like,'s like what the fuck he in the closet there's big news in the jaw rule industry uh jaw rule is back out here uh celebrating

his non-frauding with a new track about fire fest yeah he uh in i think july they they basically the court said you know what jeffrey atkins jaw rule sir i believe that's his real name um was saying like you know what you did not commit fraud so i think he was just like hell yeah dude rules out here and he basically put out this new track that uh the album art is it's like hand scrawl on a napkin it's just a written confession uh that's like meant to mimic the viral photo of the styrofoam lunches people got at fire festival oh yeah and it's like really it's oh that's a matisse. Yeah, it's a Matisse of shit. Oh, very good. So, and he's like out here.

That joke was a groan-ay. Oh, shit. Van Gogh, fuck yourself. Van Gogh, fuck yourself. Yeah. No, go on. What else you got? What else you got? Hmm?

What else you got? You're the man, eh? That joke was Picasso good. Oh, boy. All right. Okay, so enough looking at our massive creative brains. Yes. This track he put out is called For Your Real Entertainment.

Wait a second. That spells F-Y-R-E. Fire? What? In it, he's taking shots at fucking everybody. But at one point, I just want to play this one part where he talks about Andy King, the famous man who was going to do whatever he had to do to get those water bottles to the Fyre Festival. Oh, yeah. If you remember this, the guy said, I was about to suck dick to get this.

What would I do without my water? What would I do without hydration? So this is, just listen to this. I don't know what happened, why he has such anger at him, but he's taking shots at Andy King. Six minutes, six minutes, six minutes. Andy King, what the fuck is going on? You about to get a spam fellatio for avion

come on that's way beyond the job description that's an addiction to sucking dick isn't it admit it how did he get a gritty why ain't he in jail with billy is all i hear on twitter fuck y'all niggas how about he wouldn't do that how about he couldn't did it ain't the character of real niggas and the irony of it all isn't it ironic okay anyway um you have a addiction to Okay, anyway. You have an addiction to sucking dick. Because, yeah, and like so relatable that he's talking about how it's not his fault because he didn't put sucking dick in the job description. He just created like a work environment where the person felt like they had to do that. Right, as if there was a written contract,

by the way, to work that fucking job. It's just like, and it's like homophobic too. This is fucking weird. And also Avion is tequila, my man. I don't know why he said that.

The way he pronounces fellatio, by the way, like just made me sick. Like I'm actually very dizzy right now. Wow. Yeah. It's spinning. Yeah.

And also like the whole thing is, is what's like, you know, on a tepid cover, or obviously just using the instrumental of the Slick Rick, Dougie Fresh track, the show, but like, you know, on a tepid cover, obviously just using the instrumental of the Slick Rick Dougie Fresh track, the show. But like with your lame lyrics, I don't know. Everything about this just shows like just desert thirst. Yeah.

Why attack that guy? Right. You know, like what? Like he might as well attack that like amazing woman who, you know, like was trying to make everything still work. I think because they were saying, I think the argument is because Andy King may have had more of a hand in sort of how the process and promotion of the festival was going on. It's like, why am I on the hook here? Why am I literally on trial here? Why am I on trial here?

But, you know, hey, good luck to you. Yeah. And then he, like, ends with, like, how about he couldn't have done it? Like, it's like he's got, like, an alibi. I think he's talking about himself ends with like, how about he couldn't have done it? Like, it's like he's got like an alibi. I think he's talking about himself being like, he gets mad at people on Twitter for saying he should be in jail. And then he's like, I couldn't have done it because I'm too real.

Does that work? Is that convincing? Cool, baby. Okay, bye. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

And after the Fox sale, they also own the Christmas classic Home Alone. So, of course, they're planning on rebooting it. They're rebooting it with two very funny people. Yeah. Ellie Kemper and Rob Delaney. So, sure. As the adults. As the adults.

Wish they were the kids home alone. Ellie Kemper as the child who's home alone. With Rob Delaney being like a sticky bandit. Right. Sticky bandit. That's new. That's from Home Alone 2. Oh, they're the sticky.

Yeah, they rebrand. Well, did they really? Just because of that one time he dipped his hand into a Salvation Army donation bucket? Yeah, Daniel Stern, he's trying to make Sticky Bandits happen. Yeah, and it doesn't work. Yeah, exactly. Archie Yates, who played JoJo's friend in JoJo Rabbit,

but he's not the main kid. He will be the child. But they're saying he's not. It's different this time. What's different is that the child is now against these two neighbor adults. Oh. So this is the thing. So it's more like a reboot of Neighbors for children?

So they say for this one, it's a slightly different direction by having a husband and wife go to war with a young boy named Max after he steals from them. Okay. So I don't know whose side we're on exactly. Well, definitely Max's. I guess. Not me. But he's a thief. We're like, yeah, go get yours, thief.

Yeah. Was it just about... So anyway, this is what brings us to the ethos that John Hughes had sort of imbued in the originals. Yeah. Like how this would be a little bit weird considering what the first Home Alone films were always trying to tell the audience. Our writer, JM, was saying, imagine if they rebooted Die Hard where John McClane took

a bunch of hostages, which is fair. Yeah, that does change things. Also kind of believable. Yeah. Well, that's what they think is happening right right the fbi yeah uh yeah right mclean just the the uh skeptical fbi agents in that movie are great but yeah this i think like we were saying one of his really close friends pj o'rourke was basically saying like yeah he's a he's he was a lifelong Republican.

And if you look, he's like, if you want to if you choose to actually see what the messages are, it's very clear. It's all about self-sufficiency, freedom and responsibility. Yeah. Is what these Home Alone. It's like a libertarian tale. One hundred percent. Yeah. Because the police are completely incompetent or don't exist in this world where he is left home alone.

It's just him versus robbers with a intermediary elderly kind of homeless guy. Yeah. Well, when you sort of do beat by beat, right? Like there's a Vice article about this too saying that the first part starts with, quote, a rebellion against over-regulation. Essentially, the parents are big government, and Kevin is just a free, sovereign citizen, man, just trying to be self-determined, do as he needs to. He doesn't need the nanny state, the granny state,

to fucking tell him what to do. Right. And I think that's why then he shows his sort of evolution of being completely taking the brakes off, eating fucking ice cream for breakfast, brunch, and dinner. Oh, yeah. He becomes very self-sufficient. He goes grocery shopping.

He does his dishes. He does the laundry. He's like, yeah, I don't need anyone else. I can pick myself up by my own bootstraps and get this done. And when he goes grocery shopping, a policeman tries to arrest him. He has to escape from the fucking cops and from a cashier who's like,

what's going on at home, kid? Wait, does that happen? Yeah. Do you remember he slides through a cop's legs on a skating rink? Oh, right. Oh, because he stole a toothbrush yeah yeah that's because he's scared i mean right he's like scared of something oh he sees the old guy uh old people are scary is

also a message and poor people too but yeah they basically say it was populism for children but then there's also the incompetence of the government social services and the scene where the police department and uh or where uh the mom calls the police department and the family crisis hotline right and everyone keeps like hanging up on her she's like yeah my son's home alone yeah yeah yeah right lady it's christmas we're busy uh and then they send over a cop to knock on the door. And he's like, well, yeah, he knocks. No one answers. He's like, no one's home.

These people are idiots. And then he leaves. And the wet bandits, the villains, are out of work plumbers. Yeah, right. Which, I mean, Mario and Luigi, am I right? One of them's like a short, stockier guy and one's a tall. One of them's Daniel Stern.

Yeah. No, yeah, like they're using their skills of knowing, like they're flood specialists or whatever. You know, that's how they get in there. That's what their van says. It says plumbing flood specialists. They're out of work. That's what their van says. It says plumbing flood specialists.

They're out of work. So they go back and try and steal from the rich people who employed them and then presumably unemployed them. And it's it's very strange. Yeah. It's like dystopian. None of the people are around. Like everybody has gone on vacation. So it's like a ghost town.

Yeah. It's a ghost town. Like the wealthy. A wealthy person's ghost town. Right, it's a ghost town. Of like the wealthy. A wealthy person's ghost town. Right. And I don't know. Yeah. Well, just that like, but that third act where it's basically like, I will now protect my property against any invader.

With a gun. With a gun. He has a BB gun. Yeah. Fucking George Zimmerman over here. Yeah. Yeah. This is my house and I'm going to protect it.

Right. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun. Yeah. This is my house and I'm going to protect it. Right. Dun, dun, dun, dun. Yeah. I don't know. The thing though, too, just about like the depiction of like the lady, the pigeon lady or the old man or like all the people, like they portray these sort of poor people as being like, you know, it's not that bad because like I can listen to a concert for free or play with these pigeons. And it's like, don't worry about me. You know, it's not that bad because I can listen to a concert for free or play with these pigeons.

And it's like, don't worry about me. Oh, right. The pigeon lady stays the pigeon lady. It's not like she gets any help. Back on her feet? No. Right. She just stays homeless and is happy because she gets to watch a concert in the park.

And then just be like, oh, my bad here. Here's a fucking Christmas ornament. Right. I don just be like, oh, my bad here. Here's a fucking Christmas ornament. Right. I don't know if you can eat that. Maybe help her out with your stolen credit card. Hey, no. Well,

and then also too, when his uncle, Frank, who you can tell, they also like, there's like class signifiers with his uncle, Frank. Right.

He's a little disheveled. He's got the nest. Like Uncle Frank, you fuck up. Exactly. Yeah. So, you know, I mean, that taught me.

Look, if anything, Homeworld taught me more. There's a whole scene where Kevin just dresses down Uncle Frank and is like, when are you going to get your shit together, Frank? Yeah, you fucking mooch. You fucking loser. And he's always like fucking with people who are like, you know, minimum wage workers. Like he fucks with the pizza delivery person. He fucks with the cop. He fucks with the pizza delivery person yeah he fucks with the store

clerk uh because it's funny to fuck with those people yeah fucks with the uh santa claus the the store santa claus is like a drunk right right yeah i don't know so that's why like when you look at what this next one is gonna be it's not like I don't know like there it's gonna be a socialist text yeah I don't know what it is but it's so interesting how that move that aesthetic is

just the John Hughes aesthetic is like exactly what I associate with the 80s and it perfectly reflects like what the Reagan administration like wanted us to associate with the 80s and it perfectly reflects like what reagan administration like wanted us to associate with the 80s right it's just like wild that uh that the politics and the aesthetic lined up that much yeah it's like yeah look a lot of people were thrown out on the street because of these economic policies but like they're look they get to watch free concerts and they're dirty

so yeah yeah and that's how you know that it will trickle down eventually. One of the members of BTS, Kim Namjoon, recently told viewers of a live stream that he is on his... How many pairs of AirPods do you think he's owned and lost? They tore, so I'm going to say... I'm going to say 100. Ah, shit. Cut this. It's actually 64.

34. 34. Too many. 34, but that's balling. When you can fucking be like, I don't know, man. Disposable. I summon another pair of $160 pair of headphones. Using anything non-disposable as disposable.

Baller. Sick move, Doug. Peak consumer shit. He's BTS. He probably is sending hoes home in their Uber with a pair. He's like, here you go, take some AirPods. And guess what? You also have the pink slip to the car that drove you home, too.

That's your Hyundai Genesis. That's also yours. Yeah, there's... When you do the math of this, right? If you assume that because the new ones only came out like a couple months ago. I'm assuming a majority of these pairs are like the 160 or the 200. They're easily over $5,000 in AirPods. Yeah.

Just like... But that's such light work to somebody in BTS. Oh, yeah. They're like $5,000. See, I don't know how much they caught like i'm using an old pair of corded headphones right that i got at sun country airlines so i didn't know how much the one that came with my phone broke and then i was just like can i have some yeah so i was like fine these are going to continue working and i don't care if i sweat in them but five thousand

dollars worth of headphones that's i don't mean that just shows you i mean like i that's why i'm like this is this is that baller life and by baller i mean just like completely reckless because you you don't have the bandwidth i guess to pay attention because you're on tour dancing yeah and who who could keep track of owners right but no really though what the i want a glimpse into that mentality i don't think i could i would have even if i glimpse into that mentality. I don't think I could... I would have... Even if I had a lot of money, I don't think I could be...

I would be so stressed out about losing one fucking AirPod. Yeah. How many pairs of corded headphones do you think you've gone through in your life? That I've bought? Yeah. I haven't bought that many.

Yeah. The ones I've got have always been like free from some kind of junket like branded thing because like i went to a straight out of compton thing and it was like beats by dre gave everybody like little in-ear headphones i'm like oh these are great right would have never bought these the ones that come with my phone the only times i bought them are for like ones for making music or whatever because that's ones i'm really sort of invested in this the fidelity of yeah but when I was working at cracked,

I had like, I went through them every couple months because they were where break. Yeah. Just cause I was like on the phone all day or listening to podcasts, make moves, you know, uh, giving people the one second finger while I was answering a call.

Yeah. You're like, no, no, no, don't worry. It's just somebody I got to tell the fuck call. Yeah. You're like, no, no, no, don't worry. It's just somebody I got to tell to fuck off. All right.

Yeah, but I didn't know all the ways that you could, like, replacement plans and all these ways to get these AirPods. Like, they have $69 to replace a single one. I didn't realize you could buy a Lucy at the Bodega. $59 for a replacement case. $79 for a new wireless charging case. A single AirPod Pro, $89.

Damn. But then also, there's like, Super Producer Anna was like writing furiously on her notepad. They have like those little cords you can use

to hang them on, like off your ears or whatever to keep track of them. I've seen them at the mall. So you look like an English teacher? Yeah, exactly.

AirPod style? Yeah, without like the low mini glasses that you wear in front of your nose. The crotanies. Yeah, exactly. But then at that point, you've got wired headphones. I have one that does the connecting the two of them and then connects it to my phone. Wait, what?

That's more wired. I believed it. I believed it. It's like, well, what you do is you get your ears pierced. And then you can dangle each one off your pierced headphones. I believed it. I believed it. It's like, what would you do is get your ears pierced. Right. And then you can dangle each one off your pierced ears. Ooh. Talk about baller moves.

Talk about baller moves. I saw my ear piercings. Her Majesty, if you're listening, buy me AirPods. So I can make them into earrings. Remember when the comedian Brandon Wardell would wear the, were they headphones or charger cord around his neck? I don't know. I was like, I saw him on like a, yeah. Just a charger cord around the neck? Yeah, just a charger cord around his neck i don't know i was like i saw him like a

yeah just a charger cord around the neck not really like an accessory but i like it i'm not gonna lose this like a dangle earring because you know the the old like washed men have like a dangle cross earring like barry bonds type shit yeah but then you have a totally washed guys don't have a dangle ear but i will pay for for you to go to Claire's and get an ear piercing. I would pay to see you with a dangle. Oh, man. That's still my favorite part of any TV show for the past decade. Righteous Gemstones?

Righteous Gemstones. I'm different now. I'm different now. He turns his head and he has a gem stud. I wish it was a magnet earring. Because that would have been the ultimate just sad boy move. It's like you didn't have the courage to get your ears pierced with the magnetic joints like I did in seventh grade.

Oh man, that couple. What a beautiful love story. Just misbehaving. So there is a satirical movie on Netflix in Brazil. I mean, I'm sure it's on all Netflix, but it's aimed at the Brazilian audience. It's a satirical movie that includes a scene where Jesus is given a surprise party

by his family and friends, but he's with his male lover. And, you know, that seems like not shocking that it might cause some controversy with religious conservatives except for the fact that there was this same production company made a movie last year where jesus was involved in like a hangover style thing where like they woke up the night after the last supper and like nobody knew where jesus was because uh everybody got so fucked up. He was trapped under there. And that was treated as hilarious. Like a show or a movie in which Jesus is a sadistic, homicidal, hedonistic drunkard. Everyone was like, ah, that's hilarious.

But then when he's harmless and gay, they all, everybody is up in arms. People thought that Jesus Hangover was funny. They were like, bro, you turned so much water into wine last night. Like, what? Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, just let him be like a quiet, law-abiding citizen who happens to be gay. And no.

And it's no way. Oh, come on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When are we going to stop with that? Right. Who cares? I bet that company thought like, okay, well, if we can do Jesus Hangover, we could certainly do Jesus Hangover. We could do anything! Because that feels like Jesus Hangover should

have been across the line. Where did they find him? Instead of the roof, he was on the cross? I guess so. Jesus, get down from there, bro! What are you doing? It's like you doing? Give me three days. All right. That's going to do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please like and review the show if you like the show.
