Hello, the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the Weekly Zeitgeist. of the weekly zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from this week,

all edited together into one nonstop infotainment laughstravaganza. Yeah. So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. Well, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the embodiment of Chaos Energy himself, Mr. Blake Wexler! Thank you guys so much for having me, and I would

like to start off where you guys do a cool thing where you get to know the person that you have, but I feel like, and we go back, Jack and I have known each other since the crack days. Yeah, the crack epidemic. The crack epidemic, since the crack epidemic. And I don't know if the audience knows me as a comedian,

so would it be weird if I read my bio on my website? Is that all right? Blake Wexler has built an entertainment empire over years of nonstop touring and performance innovation. America's favorite ventriloquist is launching his new international tour blake wexler seriously fans can look forward to more of blake's delightfully twisted cohorts peanut walter jose jalapeno bubba jay and ahmed the dead oh my god i'm so sorry this is jeff dunham's bio. Is that really his bio? I feel like an idiot.

Someone replaced my name with his name and sent it to me. Holy shit. I'm so sorry. That's his bio? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Holy shit. Performance innovation.

Of course. One of the greats. What would you call it? I guess that's it. I guess that's all we can call it. I call it racist with puppets. Sure. Sure.

That's another. There's different words for it. Then you're dances with wolves. Racist with puppets. Sure. Sure. That's another. Yeah. There's different dances with wolves. Racist with puppets. Well, his cohorts are delightfully twisted. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, fuck yourself.

Should we add him to the things we say? Well, I mean, we don't want to we don't want to put our careers at risk. No, no, no. I would love nothing more for Daily Zeitgeist to open for Jeff Dunham. Yeah, no, for sure. And you have to list all his delightful characters. Oh, my God. I know.

Every time you laugh at comedians, you're like, man, that shit's bullshit. Nobody thinks that's funny. And then cut to you looking on StubHub or something, and you're selling out the forum for like $900 a ticket? Tim Allen gets like a million dollars a show god tim allen the mr yeah there we go that's is that what you're that was an olive that was thrown 80 feet up in the air what is something you think is overrated uh Overrated, I have Fort Sumter. And not just as visiting it. I just think as a concept, we talk about it too much.

And yes, it was where the first shots were fired in that war. But I think that it was like one person died. And the whole thing, it was barely a siege. It was very cordial, and the Union was allowed to shoot off their guns in celebration of holding the thing at the end of the siege. And then that's when the one guy died. Some Irish guy, just like the cannon backfired and killed him. Oh, no. It was friendly fire?

It was not only friendly fire. It was celebratory friendly fire, it was celebratory friendly fire where they were honoring themselves for how well they held out, and then he died during that. So it was like having a 100-gun salute and dying during that. That's rough, man. Yeah. So not impressed.

Yeah. Fuck off, Charleston. You go to Charleston once, and then you go, yeah, you know what? Fort Sumter. Did you visit Fort Sumter or something? Yes. You did? Yeah, they invited me.

Fort Sumter. That's where it is. That's actually the venue. You had to take a ferry to come see me. Just people getting off the ferry. There were more casualties at my show at Fort Sumter than there were during the battle. That's not true, by the way. Okay.

Okay, good. No, no, no, but it is overrated. Okay. Yeah. What's something that's underrated? I love listening to FM radio. I don't think anyone listens anymore. People are like, the music's bad, and there's commercials all the time, and I agree.

Both those things are true, but I indulge in it. It's kind of nice to not have to worry about, like, when I'm on Spotify, I'm like, I got to find the coolest music. I got to be listening to it. Sure, sure. The radio, it's like, just give me the song I already know. Right. I'm dry. I'm on Spotify, I'm like, I got to find the coolest music. I got to be listening to it. Sure, sure. The radio, it's like, just give me the song I already know. I'm dry. I'm stuck in traffic.

Let me just belt out this 30-year-old song. Yeah. Mr. Brightside's having a revolution. You listen to the radio, you'll hear Mr. Brightside about four times. What a song. What's staying power? It really won't quit. It won't quit.

And it shouldn't. That song could be any age. Yes. It could be. You could tell me it's- You came out in the seventh. Or like this year. Yeah. It won't quit. And it shouldn't. A pen-sunt could be any age. Yes. It could be. You could tell me it's, you came out in the seventh, like. Or like,

this year. Yeah. Yeah, no, it's, I, yeah. But yeah,

people are always like, oh, there's just shit on the radio. I'm like, yeah, great, I love it. That's what,

yeah. So for, yeah, because it takes the pressure off of you to provide a soundtrack for yourself as you drive. Exactly. Choose the,

yeah, make the, and then, yeah, you just get to, yeah. The reason like you hear the same things over and over is because the way they do ratings exactly choose the truth yeah make the truth and then yeah you just get to look yeah the reason like you hear the same things over and over is because the way they do ratings is like people

wear this like they used to wear a monitor like a nielsen like pager you had that would find out what station you were tuned into so because of that a lot of people who work in offices that just play radio over their um like speakers in an office. It was sort of artificially favoring top 40 stations because that's sort of the most broad radio station you could play in an office. So then other stations are sort of like, well, we also need to be able to make sure that we're playing a hit.

So no matter what time, if you fucking tune to it and it's not one of the 9 million ads you're hearing, it's a fucking hit and you're going to stay for the chance to get that little bit of a metric bump. Oh, so true. Yeah. But wait, what stations are stay for the chance to get that little bit of a metric bump oh so true yeah but what stations

are you listening to now to get your throwbacks yeah do you heart radio well I have to say for the record yes I have to say off the record okay off the record

this is off the record just between the three of us and all the listeners I love country music so not only am I listening to top 40 I'm listening to top 40 country music

a lot of times the top 40 country I feel like that's like almost. So Lil Nas X. Lil Nas X, yes, yes. Who are your favorite artists? Yeah, I love Little Big Town. I love Old Dominion. I love Zac Brown Band.

But really, I grew up on country music, so I also think it's probably a thing of nostalgia, being in LA, being on a different coast, being like, oh, a lot of things are unfamiliar here, but this is something. I'm in a car and listening to this music. I could be in Massachusetts right now. And it's Chris Gaines. And it's Chris, yeah. Coming through the speakers. Yes, yes, yes.

That's Garth Brooks' alter ego? Is it? Yeah, that's something. What was his alter ego? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's it. Okay, I just want to make sure. He's got an alter ego? Yes.

Like Lady Gaga? Yo, he had like the swoop bang and everything. That's fun. That is fun. I like that. Yeah. I didn't know they did that in country music. They do like a Beyonce, Sasha Fierce thing.

Oh my. Yes. Oh my God. He put out the whole, he was Chris Gaines. That was like. What the fuck is going on? That's my favorite thing about Kurt Russell. The one with the two of them thing about That is incredible

What a weird thing to do And he's got the little shit beard The little yeah That's what they call it Weird to want an alter ego And then go in like the most like Disgusting facial What if I was fucking gross

It's more of an alter emo. Let's just really, just want to mention this Ritz cracker competition thing, because I like Ritz crackers. I never buy them. But when I interact with them, I'm like, how much fucking grease are in these things?

That's the thing. And that's what I like about it. Like if we compare it just to Triscuit to a Ritz, I mean, Triscuit, you're gulping for water. Ritz, you got a drink and a food in the thing. That thing is wet with butter. Oh, yeah.

You can use it to spy on people. You could just put it on the wall, and it'll render a visible hole through it from the grease, like in that Simpsons episode where Homer was trying to gain all that weight. I had a coworker in Boston years ago. I ended up making a series of maybe kind of mean cartoons about him. But his whole thing was his name is Nick.

We're friends. So, okay. But his whole approach to socializing with us was he would have us rank things and having us rank crackers was his favorite thing. And he had kind of a funny voice and he so we would be like standing behind the bar those were getting a bar and he he would just like we had nothing to say to each other and then he'd be like hey jamie like triscuits ritz uh what else is there like marry kiss kill but with crackers yeah saltines rank

them and then i would just sit there and I'd rank them And then put Triscuits last And he'd be like no love for Triscuits And that was his whole thing And he'd write it down He actually has a whole spreadsheet of data That he's been mining He had a whole blog about reviewing

Turkey club sandwiches That he would get from like Subway Macy's Macy's like he would get Macy's? There used to be somewhere in the Boston metro area yeah like a cafe in the basement that's very suburban

these long ass posts like the crispness on the Macy's turkey sub wow that voice you're killing it he sort of speaks he's a little curvy I love that I relate to that Dude, that voice. You're killing it. He sort of speaks. Yeah, he's a little curvy. A little, hi. I love that.

I relate to that. Just a pure obsession with one thing and then dedicating a lot of your life to it. I'm like, yeah, I could see myself falling down that hole. The singularity of that vision. These greasy crackers are just something else. So, okay, so there's a competition where, because my mom did cook with them a lot. Oh, yeah. There is a Ritz Crushed Crackers Recipe Contest.

Yes. Okay. And they have a culinary professional category where it's like you're a legit chef. And they also have one for culinary students. The grand prize winner was the Pork U Pie. Okay. So it comes from the chef and owner of a Tex-Mex restaurant in Chicago, Kim Dalton. This recipe, okay, it's a savory and sweet pork and cheddar mock apple pie.

Oh, no. With a crisp and buttery Ritz crumb topping. This is why I don't like fancy food. It's like, who wants that? I don't want an apple pie with pork in it. Yeah. I mean, I guess mock apple pie. Is that fancy?

I'm curious if it's, there's, I think it's maybe just a pork pie with cheese and maybe hints of other, I don't know. I don't know. It won. It must have been good. Yeah. I guess so. Don't knock it till you try it.

Wow. So tepid, tepid response for that one. I'm like tepid. I mean, sometimes things that sound gross actually taste good. So I won't rule it out. There's been worse things. Right. That's what I'll say of this winning recipe.

There's been worse things. There's been worse things. Yep. I I'll say of this winning recipe. There's been worse things. I guess chicken pot pie, I'm like, already? That's a little gross to me. So then when you're like, oh, you're gonna take an even grosser meat and slap it in there? I'm out. Good for Kim. But good for Kim. Well, this is what Kim says. She says, it's really good.

She was inspired. She would say that. It was inspired by a vintage recipe she saw on the back of a Ritz crackers box. So it's like an old one, but she then sort of took some creative liberties with it. Okay, so pandering to Ritz. So I'm sorry, let me go again. It's really good.

It's kind of a classic. Okay. I think that should end the debate right there. I do feel like if I described that meal to my grandparents, they'd lose their shit. You know, that does like, as an old timey recipe. I think that would hit. Pork you pie.

But what she also says is the Ritz crackers are they're added instead of apples. Okay. So that's what it is. So it's not like an apple pie. So it's more of a just in your mind. Keep pork and cheddar. Okay. Boom.

Right now. Now. And now we're talking now. Now, Kim, we're coming. We're getting on aers. Boom. Right. Now it's a little bit. Now. And now we're talking. Now we're talking. Now, Kim, we're getting on a flight. Okay. And in the culinary student category, the grand prize winner was a millefeuille. How do you say that shit?

Yes. I know what it is. I just remember the movie Carpool with Tom Arnold. That's not spelled the way. And there's a moment where they spend three minutes. There's like a joke where they don't know how to say Millefeuille. Millefeuille. This is a very, what is French?

I'm guessing. It's two words and there's a hyphen involved. Doesn't it mean like a thousand layers or something? Millefeuille. Oh yeah. Like that's what the Mille, M-I-L-L-E, like millenniums. Millimeters. Anyway, instead of the puff pastry for this, using Ritz crackers to serve as the pastry, because it's

like a very layered pastry dish. This sounds good. And was a student of the Institute of Culinary Education in Pasadena. Let's go. Let's drive over. Wow. And that just seems like it was a pretty straightforward recipe, but hey, the students, they're getting

it done too. All right. I would have Fernando's dish in a second. Yes, I think there's a second yes i think yes because kim it's almost like flashy flashy we got pork we got apples it's a pie it's old and fernanda diala she says she said no no no this is just a classic with ritz classic with ritz bye gotta go where's my grand prize dalton i'll guess net ritz nepotism wow she married into the into the Ritz fortune? She married into, definitely. She's Mr. Ritz's niece. Her maiden name, Nabisco. Okay.

Okay, Kim Nabisco. Dude, Kim Nabisco sounds like the weirdest villain. Kim Nabisco is a great spy name. Kim Nabisco. I, like, one time as a joke, for, like, three months at a place I was working, as my emergency contact, I had the phone number for Nabisco. What if I had died? Is it an 800 number?

Yeah. I'm surprised no one went like, hold on. No one's checking your emergency contact. Also, though, God forbid something happened and they called Nabisco and you just played the cruelest prank on yourself. And I just died. That was a funny way to die.

Don't you think it's kind of embarrassing? That is very funny. I don't know. It's you think it's kind of embarrassing? That is very funny. I don't know. It's super tragic, but kind of hilarious. What is she allergic to? Now we have to talk about our guests. Who's in the third seat? Oh, y'all are in for one.

Because it's Mr. Magnificent himself. Mr. Bigfoot Hunter himself. Take it down. The Yeti of spaghetti. I don't even know what that means. Chris Crompton. I don't like that. How are you guys? How are you, man? I'm glad to be here. Real glad to be here. Yeah, the Yeti of

spaghetti. I don't even know where that came from. That's fine. Ever since that Mount St. Helens thing you told us about, about all the Bigfoot bodies that were covered up in the Mount St. Helens. Well, you only eat pasta in the woods. Well, yeah. I mean, whatever fits the – I mean, I don't know really exactly how this AKA stuff works,

but as far as I can tell, it's a bunch of nonsense. So I think that Yeti spaghetti sounds fine to me. Actually, a more fitting one is AKA hashtag cold brew got me like. Yeah, whatever. And you're not drinking cold brew. You're being careful. Don't tell people. Well, you are me like. Yeah, whatever. And you're not drinking cold brew. You're just being careful. Don't tell people. Well, you are caffeinated.

Oh, yeah. I had cold brew earlier, but now I'm having a mocha because this show, can I say it? We're taping after noon. Yeah. And usually I like to come- Oh, yeah. Start your day. Give a podcast both barrels of my morning mojo.

Yes. Sorry. Now you're getting your morning mojo. No, I think you got it. And then I have the cold brew, and then it's like, you know, it's comedy gold. But today, it's afternoon, and I've already been traumatized by the day, by part of the day. Just being alive. Yeah, so I'm already like, I already feel like I got run over.

So now I got an emergency mocha. Oh. And that's mo an emergency mocha. Oh. And that's mocha with emergency powder in it. Yeah, sure. I mean, I don't know what they put in there. I told them to load it up. It's real bubbly, though. They said whole milk, and I took a little while, and I said, yeah. There was no thought process that happened during that part where I took a moment either.

They said whole milk, okay. I kind of did a little bit of theater where I cocked my head and then I said I didn't think anything about milk or I tried to. What do you have thought? That's what I thought. I guess 2% came in my head and then I think actually my exact thought process was

2%? Fat? And then I said okay just whole is fine. Give us all the fat. 98% fat. I'll just sip around it yeah and um yeah I thought chocolate would be maybe would make me funnier were you saying uh off mic that you had a nervous breakdown last time well last time I was here yeah like I don't want to know this I'm working on my host wow way to reveal I had to thank you for bringing it up uh yeah I, I was hospitalized briefly.

Yes, tell me about the worst day of your life. No, it wasn't. For people who just heard that and think what he means is serious, it's not. What happened? I ate nothing in the morning, and I had a lot of cold brew, and I also had not slept very much. And I forget what else.

I did something else the night before that was like. But it just hit you all at once. Whatever. I was wiped out, and then I had cold brew, and i was like all fired up telling a story about something about big foots that were injured on uh mount st helens or whatever it was and um and then i just my whole brain just went blank i mean like it's happened before where your brain just i don't know if you've ever had it maybe it's something that happens when you're over 40 but just like yeah yeah i tend to drink coffee until this is how my day goes.

I drink coffee until my body can't take it anymore, and it's like you're about to die or something, and then I will eat something. Oh, perfect. So we just caught you at that moment. So I had a moment where I was excited to be on the show. I love being on this show. I really get fired up.

I want to do my best. And so I'm like, I need to drink cold brew, even though I was feeling kind of fragile from like not getting sleep. And then all of a sudden things were going good and I was talking about something real funny. And then Miles was just like, oh, yeah. And then what happened after that? And I was like, ah.

You were like, you just said, hold on, I need to eat something. I'm sorry. It took a while, though. For a minute I tried to get it back on track. And you were trying to help because. Oh, you're like, I forgot what I said. Yeah, and you were like, don don't worry but what was it you were just saying this and then jack was like you were saying this and it wasn't helping yeah then

they were like you know then it was getting a weird and then i said i think i need to eat something which uh we did my therapist told me to say if that ever happened if i ever had one of those brain wipes yeah they told me i should say i have to eat something. Well, and even if you don't have that, yeah, they just told me that was a good, terrible advice. No, but I did.

I ate a bag day or egg in a bag. Well, I was like, I sometimes buy those eggs from trader Joe's that are in a bag, which nobody likes. If you want to be popular, do not do that. No,

because you see it and go, wait till this dude opens that thing. And it's a diet fart that, Oh, it's disgusting. It's disgusting. But if you, yeah, if you want it and you go, wait until this dude opens that thing. And it's a diet fart that creeps out of that bag. Oh, it's disgusting. It's disgusting. But if you want to never have a girlfriend, have a girl come over to your place and see

a bag of eggs in your refrigerator. I don't care how well you're doing. Did this man rob a nest? Yeah. Nobody likes it. But anyway, I like them because sometimes you got to get something in your belly. Hey, it's protein, man. Yeah.

I rebut them belly full. I was on- Oh, I'm sorry. Oh, no. Go ahead. No, no. Finish your bistro. Oh, just bist belly full. I was on Bistro. Oh, no. Go ahead. No, no. Finish your Bistro. Oh, just Bistro Box.

It was an egg in one of those Starbucks. I'm glad we got that detail. Yeah. Yeah. Just for the record. Because it was touch and go there until that. Right. All right.

And we're back what's something from your search history that's revealing about you all right here we go here we go what's on youtube baby this is the new one i think i have a funny feeling that you guys might know about this uh but maybe not uh it's this guy named um I think his name's New England Wildlife and More. Hold on. It's New England. An emphasis on and more. Yeah, yeah. Well, here's the funny thing about this guy. Yeah, New England Wildlife and More.

Now, here's the, and more is mostly what he does. And the and more is he opens old food from the 1960s and 50s and 40s. Like old war rations and stuff? He does war rations, but he'll just open canned food

that he gets from, I don't know where, from like canned food auctions or something. And he opens and sometimes eats. No. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Does he ever eat one and they start heaving? Well, it's kind of weird because I always thought like if you open one of those old cans, like an old can of, say, cream corn from literally sometimes he'll open one from like the 40s. Right. Like I thought you had to have like a gas mask on. I don't know what.

I thought for some reason I associate botulism with cans, but I don't know if it comes out of the air or what happens. You know what I mean All I know is I'm not even thinking That scientifically In my mind It's like 70 year old can Gross

Just don't do that In the 70s Like my mom Like when I was like Eight years old Would be like You don't want a dented can Because it's bocilism

But I don't know I never understood why But anyway These cans are far These cans are not only dented But they're 60 years old And he's like It's swollen He's like You can see It's old. And he's like, it's swollen.

He's like, you can see it's going to hiss. He gets real into whether it's going to hiss or not. He seems to be happy when it hisses, but he's also disgusted. He's kind of like, uh-oh, I think we got a live one here. He sniffs it. He will occasionally taste it. And then he says, oh, I think that was a mistake to taste that. And he's like, I think that maybe I should wash my mouth out because that probably has bacteria in it. And I don't know why. Sometimes he thinks it's okay to taste that. And he's like, I think that maybe I should wash my mouth out because that probably has bacteria in it.

And I don't know why. Sometimes he thinks it's okay to taste it. He's like, I think he sniffs it and he thinks if it's like- Passes the smell test or something? If it smells enough like the product's supposed to, then sometimes he can't resist but to taste it. Right. But-

I like how you go, and I think you guys might know this channel. Well, it's got- And what was his name again? New England Wildlife and More. New England Wildlife and More, but it should really be called Man Who Opens Old Cans and More. Yeah.

Because- And actually exactly that. And no more, no less. Yeah, and even if he is out among the wildlife, I'm still thinking he has like 1940s cream corn in his belly. So it's really more like Man Who Eats Old Food is in the wildlife. Yeah, dude who does diarrhea in the woods.

Yeah, it's not- The channel who eats old food from is each video sort of like 1956 campbell's soup yeah like so it's like or or is it does he come upon these cans you never know the provenance of these these cans i he sometimes mentions that he got them from like somebody on his street or sometimes he mentions that he got them from, I don't know. I guess he sometimes just says some guy gave them to him. He opens like a can, like, you know, when people can stuff. He opens shit from the 40s and he'll just open it and he'll be like, he's really intent on, he just goes, oh my God. Oh God, this really stinks.

Oh boy. Right? It's like, he's like, I think this used to be cherries. It's probably cherries. Yeah, it looks like cherries. It looks like probably cherries. And he's like, but then he's like, it's like, okay. And then he dumps it in this tray, but it's just like a tray, like a regular tray.

But he kind of makes it like scientifically. He's always like, make sure he gets it all out of there. Like, he figures out it's disgusting. And then he's like, it's hard to get out of here. Then he's playing with trash. And then he's like, well, I'm going to have to use the, well, I'm going to have to use a spoon to get it out. But it's like, why do you need to get it out? I know what it is.

It's like some kind of spoiled fruit. And then he's like, play with it. He's like, oh, look at that. Look at that. Yeah. And then sometimes he'll stick his finger in it and taste it and then go, oh, I shouldn't have done that. But he does it all the time.

It'd be great the following videos. He's like slowly become more and more gray in the face. He drinks Crystal Light. Well, he looks like he's already, you know. What does he's like slowly become more and more gray in the face he drinks crystal light well he looks like he's already you know yeah what does he look like he's kind of like seems like kind of a um backwoods like uh like kind of a meth uh i get a meth-y vibe from him like a meth-y trailer vibe i'm getting that too and he seems like so he probably is like maybe used to like you know eating i mean he just seems like sturdy enough he probably is like maybe used to like, you know, eating. I mean, he just seems like sturdy enough that maybe he can poke his finger in some 1940s cream corn without needing to worry about it that much.

That is one of my favorite characteristics I've ever heard someone say about another person. How do they look? Sturdy. Sturdy. They have their legs underneath them. He's like, I would never. I would never. I don't care how much the product smelled good. I would never. I don't care. He's like, this is never. I would never. I don't care how much the product smelled good.

I would never. I don't care. He's like, this is Fluffernutter from 1972. Yeah, this one is canned horse meat MRE review. Okay, that's like a ration. Yeah. Yeah, a meal ready to eat. I just watched him flush Jell-O down the toilet.

And is that how he disposes of all of his foods? He flushes it. He looks at them through a microscope, too. And then he's like, I think that's bacteria, but it might not be bacteria. the toilet and is that how he exposes or disposes of all of his foods he flushes he looks through adam through a microscope too and then he's like i think that's bacteria but it might not be bacteria trash scientist yeah because he doesn't he'll look at the stuff through a microscope and he'll just be like i think that's bacteria but it also could be just part of the food also like i have no science that every time i have no scientific training so honestly i don't know what the every time he's like look at that and he always kind of like grossed out he's like oh god what is that he's like but then it's

like oh maybe it could just be part of the food normally but it also could be bacteria but i don't know and he does that every time and then yeah sometimes he goes in the woods i guess and like looks at he's he he'll do abandoned things sometimes it's about the mre using the canned food really is what it sounds what. What's an MRE? The meal ready to eat. The ration. Oh, okay. Yeah, he does that.

The horse meat for the record came from Russia, but he wasn't sure if it did. Here's what I like about it. He wasn't informed about it. I like, when I listen to like jazz or classical music,

which is supposed to be relaxing, I can't relax. So I like to listen to like metal. Like I'll listen to like Hell yeah. Cannibal Corpse or something and I'll relax. Oh, we don't do plugs on here.

Oh. Yeah, please. Do not mention Cannibal Corpse plug, please. Although they had a great scene in Ace Ventura. Anyway, I'll listen to metal to relax. It becomes background noise, or maybe it sounds like an industrial machine going. Like a torch? Yeah, like having like

a washing machine going in the background or something. That bassist plays a note called the bomb note. But I've realized, is that true?

Yeah. It's like a whole other thing. You know a lot about Cannibal Corpse. Dude, no, I'm talking about Torch, this other band called Torch.

They have a song called Tarpic Carnivore. Check that out. Wow. If you want to relax, Chris. That sounds cool. And so, I watch this can guy in the background

while I'm doing stuff around the house. So it's like a steady hum of this guy being like, just cracking open cans. And you got metal blasting. This is going to be a good hiss. He'll be like, this is going to hiss definitely because it's got gas in it, you know, from being in the damn can for so long.

Yeah, it's deteriorating. And then he says, it's going to have gas. Oh, wait. And then he goes, oh, no, it didn't. And then he goes, oh, that one had a good amount of gas. But there's never any, you know, it's deteriorating. And then he says, it's going to have gas. Oh, wait. And then he goes, oh, no, it didn't. And then he goes, oh, that one had a good amount of gas. But there's never any, you know, it's just always, there's no information about the gas, really. But that was a lot of information about him. Yeah.

And you. He's a cool dude. Knowing you chilled a medal in YouTube bids. He's got a million fucking hits on these videos. That's the thing. Someone's watching these things besides me. It's you and your million computers. It might be.

Okay. I just want to also bring up another thing. Blake, you're from Philadelphia, right? Am I saying that right? Yes. F-I. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like Philadelphia. Did you know Philadelphia cream cheese is not from Philly?

That's not funny. Okay. That's not funny. I know. Why would you say this? I'm sorry. I should know this. We can edit this out, right?

No, we won't. What are you talking about? He's trying to get Jesus to come back by starting this. Bon appetit. Jesus is on his way. You keep talking like this. An editor at Bon Appetit looked into- That old rag?

Yeah, that old rag. Spun this old yarn. Wait till you get a load of this. Fine. So what happened was the Philadelphia brand, okay, dates back to the late 1800s. But this is when dairies in Pennsylvania at the time, they were getting in the dairy scene. They were making their name out there because they had this soft creamy cheese made with whole milk okay back to you chris this all ties back to you now now now it's whole milk whole milk

two percent your mocha good keep that in your mind yes then in new york they were making uh a version with skim milk and that was too chalky and they're like god damn it this other shit exactly look hey you said hey i don't want that smoke yeah that's all from this philly fan over there uh but then this one new yorker named william lawrence old bill lawrence my drama teacher from high school literally his name uh started selling his own cream cheese but it was made from skim milk with lard mixed in to make it more rich to mimic the other one and he called it philadelphia hoping that the Pennsylvania Association, like with the name, would be like, oh, he's got that Philly cream cheese.

Yeah, he's a hack. Yep. That's what happened. And then he even trademarked the words Philadelphia and Pennsylvania in conjunction with the products. It worked and it sold. And that's where we are now. Oh, cool.

Well, sounds like you put a sicko's product on your bagels. Good. Good for you. A fucking conscious list. Yeah, you got any bad news about Philly cheesesteaks now? No, no, no, no. Because if you want to bring down my whole existence, go right ahead. I mean, do you, how do you, what's better?

Is Nick Foles not real too? What are you trying to do to me? What's, are you Geno's or Pat's? It's tough. Geno's, I believe, tastes better. But the guy, well better, but the guy, well, actually, the guy who originally owned it is a big fat racist, and his son keeps

the signs up. Yeah, it says, like, order in English. It's very... Oh, shit. It's not great, but what I do is I go with a buddy... You order in Mandarin? Yeah, as I order in Mandarin. Yeah, and they know my order by now. I wink at them a bunch of times, and they get it it that I'm one of them.

But I'll go to Philadelphia, two major cheesesteak places. By the way, this is a 45-minute story. No, go ahead. Yeah, two seconds. They're right next to each other, and I will get one cheesesteak from one place, one from another. And then my friend and I, whichever we like the most, we'll split one from the last place. Oh, you do splitsies. Yeah.

So we'll have two and, oh my God, is it two and a half? Is that what you're going to do? Is that what you're going to do? That's what we do. Yeah. Yeah. Or no, one and a half, right? Yes.

You eat one full, one for me. One, one. Yeah. Oh, wait, no. You eat one full. No, no, no. And then you go back to double down. It's two and a half.

Two and a half men. Two and a half sandwiches. Two and a half men. The Blake Wexler Philly cheesesteak story. You get it with Wiz? Wiz with? Wiz without. Wiz without.

Yeah. But that's controversial. I lived on North Broad Street for six months in 1992 when my friends were going to Tyler School of Art. Yeah. Art. Yeah. Yeah.

And I went to McGlinchey's. They had nickel drafts. Still there. Nickel drafts. How? I don't know, but we drank them. This was during Reconstruction? Then we listened to Nirvana and then we- Oh, Nirvana. So this is the 90s. They had to reconstruct Philadelphia. Yeah. 1890s. How? I don't know, but we drank them. This was during Reconstruction? Then we listened to Nirvana, and then we...

Oh, Nirvana. So this is the 90s. They had to reconstruct Philadelphia. Yeah, 1992. 1992 was like free hot dogs and nickel drafts. See? Promised land. Grunge promised land.

Yeah, seriously. When America was great, huh? Oh, my God. Is that what they're talking about? Is that what they want to bring back? That's the subtext. McGlinchey's nickel drafts. Can you even drink nickel drafts without being canceled?

Yeah. Get this man a fucking Senate pen. Can you eat an all-beef hot dog without being canceled in this country? Oh, I'm the bad guy now. Just because I like beef? You probably can't even say all-beef anymore. I bet you can't say 100% beef without getting canceled. Jesus Christ.

It's an outrage. I tell you what. This country used to be all about nickel drafts. Nickel drafts and nickelback. Ketchup? That sounds like a lot of work. Expressing themselves. Men who have drank nickel drafts expressing themselves.

Does a man who drinks nickelbacks or nickel drafts? Nickelbacks? Yeah. That's where you do a pickleback listening to Nickelback. Yes. A Nickelback. It'll fuck you up. If you drink a nickel draft, do you think you're expressing yourself that much,

or you kind of do that to help you compartmentalize? It's just a way to, it's a way to, the only thing you're going to express at the end of that is, where do we get Coke? That's it. That's what nickel drafts are a lead into. Boom. Gateway drug into a bunch of laxatives cut in. You's what nickel drafts are a lead into. Boom. Gateway drug into a bunch of laxatives cut.

You drink enough nickel drafts, you're going to hit a dead end eventually. And then you're going to say, hmm, what are we going to do now? Dope man! Well, Chris, on that note. Someone get the dope man on the hard line. It's 1992. On the hard line, yeah. Yeah, beepers and shit.

Dude, he knows his payphone number. He'll know. He'll know. Just type in the number from the payphone in there he'll know all right uh let's move on to a quick story up top miles there is a new game show that caught your attention yeah from the ms the ms who from wasn't he on road rules bringing the worlds of i thought it was the real world but maybe or. Or either one. I mean, one of them. He was on the challenge for sure. And then he became a wrestler. And then he became a wrestler. And now he is a co-host with Roxy Diaz from 106 and Park and Entertainment Tonight for the new show called Cannonball, which USA describes as a water obstacle competition.

The reason I bring this up is I don't understand just off that description what I'm seeing is it just wipe out basically yeah it's wipe out they just say the 10 episode cannonball has contestants competing in challenges like sliding off a 100 foot water slide and rocketing off one of the world's fastest drop towers

so it's competitive water slide so I'm like how do you competitive water slide that's i'm like so what is how do you quantify these performances i didn't know there was a distances yeah okay i mean like how far how far they go form is what anna thinks i'm not sure what the fuck uh when you go to water parks super producer anna hosnia you're judging form you're like okay yeah no she's giving us like a vampire in a coffin right i mean that is the correct form you want only your shoulder blades and your heels touching so as little surface area as possible as i don't even think about that yeah wait that's legit the that's what

i do i mean that's my technique like you kind of yeah maybe it does go deep yeah i do an arc and at least when you get going and then after a while the force is such that you can't really keep it keep it all above board. This is fascinating because you're not improvising. You're just going into your memory and talking about your water slide technique. I mean, I've been to water parks, but never to the point where I'm like, bro, what were you doing? Was your back touching? Oh, my God.

That's why you're taking so goddamn long. I've never judged someone for their water slide technique. I'm usually too busy screaming. Yeah. Yeah. What water parks are we going up going to? Oh, Ocean City has a water park. Pretty good water park. Actually, Ocean City, New Jersey. The boardwalk has a pretty decent water park has for like 20, 30 years now. And when that first opened, man, I was up there multiple times every

week that I was. Oh, shit. That makes. OK you were getting your, you're getting your hours in your 10,000 hours. That was the, that was the jam. And they had a lazy river where you could just go and fuck around and like get in trouble. Level raised lazy river. Yeah. But, uh, I don't know. Yeah. My, I think my dad told me that once when I was like seven and that just took as a piece of like physics. Right, right. You're like, that's science. Something that my entire like basis of the physical world rests on is my dad claiming that if you arch your back on a water slide, you'll go faster.

Yeah, I guess in my mind, I'm thinking if you arch your back, you're putting more pressure on those points. So it's causing more friction. Right, you would think so. Look, I don't know. Physicist, please fall in. He's probably just trying to improve my core strength.

Yeah, right. Yeah. He did smack my stomach a couple times when I did the form. Here, put these ankle weights on. Are you a fan of water parks? Not necessarily, no. Yeah. You're just screaming.

You didn't tell by her silence this whole time? Something happened, Jack. My enthusiasm is electric, I know. You said usually at water parks you're screaming. Is that the whole time, like happened, Jack. My enthusiasm is electric, I know. You said usually at water parks, you're screaming. Is that the whole time, like in line and everything? That's just like from parking lot

to buying the ticket. You know, I'm truly just detesting the whole experience. They're just carrying you around on like one of those Silence of the Lambs stretcher things. We only had two water, well, there was Wild Rivers,

Raging Waters. Out here? Yeah, and Hurricane Harbor. Hurricane Harbor didn't open up till late. I think Wild Rivers closed pretty early. had two water well there was wild rivers raging waters out here and yeah and hurricane harbor hurricane harbor didn't open up till late i think wild rivers closed pretty early see i think that has wreck to get to these motherfuckers i think it also has to do with how thin the air is out here and how quick like more science yeah okay so my dad told me when i was eight so this I actually checked. No, no, no. Anybody from the East Coast? You know, Harper Rose.

Harper Rose. Have you noticed that it's colder when you get out of a pool on the West, like in L.A. than it is on the East Coast? I guess so. I think it's because the air has less moisture in it. And so it evaporates. The water evaporates quicker off your skin. And that's what makes it cold. Oh, the cooling sensation. Yeah, because it's so much more humid out there. And I wonder if that, because there's so many water parks on the East Coast, but not as

many out here, even though it's hot as fuck out here. Wait, what's your theory? That the humidity makes it possible to have water parks? Just makes it more desirable, because you're walking around wet. Oh, so you're saying, ah, we'd build water parks in California, but that evaporation, man. Yeah, I'm just saying

you were deprived of something growing up and I want to know why. Yeah, I don't know. Immigrant parent, immigrant mom, I think. But you're saying there were only two in the greater Los Angeles area? The two main ones for a while growing up, especially in the 90s,

were wild rivers and raging waters. And I didn't have time to go out to San Dimas for that shit. I mean, even in Cincinnati, we had The Beach, which was the Kings Island water park. Yeah, I guess on also LA, we had The Beach. Oh, did you? Yeah. What was that like? Pretty cool.

Yeah. It's freezing, actually. Fucking really cold. The seagulls. All right, we're going to take another quick break We'll be right back I've been thinking about you I want you back in my life

It's too late for that I have a proposal for you Come up here and document my project All you need to do is record everything like you always do One session 24 hours 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're doing.

It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin,

former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone involved.

You mix homesteading with guns and church, and then a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. All right.

Let's talk about something a little bit lighter, guys. Are you guys people who take pictures of your food before you consume it? I used to. After you consume it? I used to. Okay. Well, I do sometimes, but I realized it was like the stress of social media that was causing me to do it because I was only taking photos to post them it wasn't

because I was like I want to I want an image of this it's that like you know social media flex mentality you're like my ex-girlfriend's watching look what I'm eating I am having more fun than you yeah and then I was like yo that I part of me had to quick that shit because I was like why am I was really engulfed or uh really invested in that like likes economy. And I don't know. That's why I don't do anymore. Three hots and a cot, babe. You thought I couldn't do it? Look at me now. Look at me now,

baby. Scrambled eggs. Ramen last night? Who's living large? Catch up to me. You're flexing by just photo-gaming. Yeah, by just doing random hot meals. New socks, baby. No holes in them. No, so a chef is asking people to stop taking pictures of the food before they eat it.

It's an ongoing discussion with chefs. And this guy, Heston Blumenthal who runs a three Michelin star restaurant in London the fat duck where it's $425 for a set course for one person said he was like it bothers him to see the visitors whipping out their

phones to snap the food he says at the fat duck we've debated this for several years now no honey no if we say to people your food's going cold, you put up a barrier between you and the diner. And then there are other chefs who have banned this shit outright. There's one guy who's like, I forget what the restaurant is, but he's like, I'm really getting so upset about people taking pictures. We put up a card at the door. No photos, please.

Yeah. What are they doing? Maybe once during the meal you want to take a little photo of something because it's unusable but what about the flavors a picture on a phone cannot possibly capture the flavors okay these okay it's pompous so wait you never explain uh are you a food photographer food flexor okay so to be very honest no but i also in the same vein of being honest i did i did like a random post like the other day i was like on my story and i was wine drunk and like my friend and i had a really pretty dessert so i'm like yeah yeah we're not gonna fact check

you don't okay thank you thank you i have it at the ready so okay no okay let's go through archives and here it is okay and um but no but like i i don't know i i do think it's annoying when everyone's like posting it. Cause I feel like I kind of see what you're saying. Cause I think like back in the day I used to do that. Like, yeah, check out this chicken and waffles. It's just like, I'm here. I am here.

I am here at this place. You are not. You are alone though. Okay. But anyway, so the food is not your friend, but I'm sorry to break it to you. But I was listening to the weekend in my car. I was shoveling mashed potatoes in on Christmas morning. No, but I do.

I feel like, honestly, I don't know why the chefs are caring this much. It's like, you have tickets in the back, honey. You know what I mean? You don't need to be out here looking at what everyone's doing on their phones. Go sit down at the table. Gordon Ramsay's take on this, they asked him too. He was like, bro, that should be a compliment to you. They want to take photos of your food. Also, for it so who gives a fuck what they yeah and

number one like do you want to have a job yeah yeah great well then people starting to stay in age like instagram yeah whatever it's douchey but like you need to have it and people are going to come to your place of business like the more it's like popped off the times i take videos of my food is when i'm making food because i show the process of it that's fun yeah i like that that feels like an art but also here's the thing and maybe i'm playing it myself i can't deny i'm half japanese okay so i gotta take a picture of every motherfucking thing that's racist man hey look i will speak on behalf of all look if you have a look you're right and he's back and I'm canceled but like

there is I do have an urge at times when things look so good but I think really it's about questioning who cares do what you want yeah absolutely

I think it's only when I started examining the motivation of why I did it is when I started getting put off I don't judge people who do it

but I'm also just sort of like there's so many other important things to be angry about so if you're gonna get angry about people posting their food I just I'm so happy that you have such a charmed life that that's the most important yeah they have health care in the UK so yeah I mean yeah there it is he's like yeah okay at the same time a three Michelin star chef is a pretty high level artist right like I Like I feel like I would be fine

with the devil's advocate take of they give out those little bags that Dave Chappelle and like other comedians give out at the door to their show. Oh, like no phones in here? Yeah. Because like some people say that that makes the show better

and it like makes them like more in the moment. So like that's a easy solution. Just check your phone at the door. Just do that then. Right. Fine. And like that, then that becomes part of the dining experience.

Right. And that's going to generate more people to come because it's like, Oh, it's very secretive and people love the exclusivity of that. At this point, you don't need the Instagram pics to like spread word about your three Michelin stars. Yeah.

Don't worry. I thought it was, I thought his complaint was going to be that they're not good enough photographers, which I've seen some bad pictures of food. Like on Yelp. Yelp is full of terrible pictures of food. And sometimes the color is off,

so it just looks weird. And with the flash, it's disgusting. I'm like, ooh, that's creepy.'s i'm gonna stay at home tonight then how about that yeah there's i i don't want to shade anybody but there's somebody i follow on instagram who has the dumbest fucking stories like that and i'm like i'll i just follow to be like look at this bullshit yo i so my high school my high school friends have a whats WhatsApp thread and my one friend makes this chicken mole recipe and was sending us braggy pictures about this dope shit that he was making. Right. And I'm sure it was good, but it looks like absolute shit.

Just shit? And no one was going to say anything, but then my one friend who's just way too honest was like i'm sure it's something lost in translation but that looks like diarrhea man that's fucking gross oh my god it's like 11 in the morning finish him but it was it was true post yeah uh yeah i don't know pictures of food i i as somebody who doesn't take them I'm just gonna shut the fuck up because I don't either appreciate okay exactly I eat this shit all the time what's the point of taking a photo honestly exactly call it a Monday's dinner oh you're not always eating out at Michelin star places what are you a peasant I eat dinner Monday's dinner yay dinner yeah there's a week I'm really angry so there's a M night Shyamalan

show on Apple that is now being accused of plagiarism it's nice to see someone read my emails so claims of plagiarism have kind of followed him around yeah it's it's usually from young adult, like, fiction or, like, Are You Afraid of the Dark? Got it. Sixth Sense was basically the plot was taken from an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? And The Village was taken from a young adult novel that,

like, it wasn't even an obscure one. It was, like, had sold millions and millions of copies. Yeah, it's called The Village, I think. Yeah. It's called Running Out of Time. I like how egregious it i like a great yeah yeah and it was based on a movie i saw right uh but now there is a filmmaker francesca gregorini uh who is suing apple claiming the show is a ripoff of her 2013 movie the truth about emmanuel uh So the premise of both is that a mother who can't conceive

creates a very dependent... No, they lose a child. Oh, they lose a child. Yeah. Okay. And then they get a lifelike doll as a therapy tool. But then they become overly, eerily

connected to it. And then there's a super producer, Anna Hosnia, actually has that streaming service, and she has watched the M. Night Shyamalan show. Five times you were saying? Five times you kept saying off mic, and then you said you would deny when you got on? So, Anna, what is the premise of the – I would like to clarify.

I also got Apple TV free for a year when I bought a new Apple – I mean, no, Apple Plus TV free when I got the new Apple TV. So please – Super easy to differentiate between what they got going on these days. Okay. So the show is about – So this woman – I won't say any spoilers any spoilers obviously i'll try and

go around it but like this woman has a baby the baby passes away somehow and then um i guess she goes catatonic so they have this like new agey kind of like you know doctor be like, well, give her, yeah, goop comes in. It's really funny. Goop is in it. And, um, go op is in it. And, um, they,

her ideas, give her a fake, like real baby. Like, it's like one of those very, very realistic baby dolls from American sniper. This is a, this is a real same actor.

Yeah. They got the same girl. This is a actual horrifying thing that happens like there are people who use and she can't because she's catatonic and in kind of like a state of true psychosis but acting completely normal going about her daily life going to work like no big deal thinks this baby is real so she hires a nanny for it and the husband is also he's fully aware everything's he's conscious he knows what's going on he's just acting along and the nanny shows up and the nanny also acts as if the baby is real and then the and this all happens in the first episode it's not really spoiler baby spoiler. Baby comes to life. No explanation. And that's like the season beginning?

Yes. And that's how it goes. And this show fucking doesn't tell you anything. We're eight episodes in. I know nothing. It's infuriating. I keep picturing the baby turning and doing a testimonial to the camera. Like Malcolm in the middle.

Yeah. I wish. It's crazy in here. I wish. Time out. Freeze. But you don't know anything. It like okay you're just gonna what what are we watching that's this so it's a shamalan it's a shamalan that doesn't you've been shamalan the baby in the water it's m night what was it you say timmy shalem m night timothy shalem and i can't it's it's almost unnecessary at this point

like it's like okay well if you're going to reveal a plot point at any point that kind of explains what's going on, this show is useless. And then I went online to be like, is anything ever going to come of this? And they're like, no, you have to watch all six seasons when they, I don't know, come out or the show will probably get canceled eventually. But yeah, so he's just not going to tell you anything until the final episode of the sixth season, I guess. Well, it sounds like you should watch this movie, The Truth About Emmanuel.

Yeah, I guess I'm just going to watch that. It's a self-contained movie. I'm going to watch that. It sounds like it's where they got the idea. So in that movie, it's a mother who's grieving the death of her baby, uses an eerily lifelike reborn doll to help her process the loss, and subsequently forms an intimate relationship with the nanny. She hires to take care of the quote infant.

Bold move to be like that terrible TV show stole mine idea. Right. I wrote the show. No one likes first. Yeah. So. Yeah. I don't know.

This seems to keep happening to him. It's not like it was. I think he's a bad person and a liar. Okay. Remember he said he ghost wrote She's All That? And everyone was like, no, you didn't. Well, he had worked on a revision or something. He technically had, but it was a stretch for him to say that he had actually penned it.

Plus, what's that M short for? Right. It could be anything. Manipulation. Manipulation night. Manipulation night. His next night. Manipulation night. His next movie, Manipulation Night. It's

not like the movie is some random YouTube movie. It's got real people in it, right? Yeah, it's got Jessica Biel. Except a baby. Kaya Scodelario from Skins is on it. Alfred Molina. Oh, Loftus favorite. Friend of the network. Friend is on it. Alfred Molina. Oh. Loftus favorite.

Friend of the network. Friend of the network, Alfred Molina, yep. But anyways, people should check out that movie if they're interested in the show. I'll watch the show, see if I want to check out the movie. It's just the guy who doesn't get it at all. 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.
