Yeah. So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. We are thrilled to be joined in our third seat. This is a fucking powerhouse show we have today. We are joined by another one of the faces on Mount Zeitmore. She is the scam goddess, Lacey Mosley. Hey. Hi.

What's up? How y'all doing? I'm doing good. Good. I'm doing good. It's great to have you here. It's great to have you both here. So then my fake Brooklyn accent jumped out.

There you go. Is that Brooklyn? Okay. No. It's probably not. Don't tweet me about it. Don't tweet her about it. She'll just ask for your social security number and credit card info.

That's the only way I answer troll tweets now. I need information first. I heard about the Red Cross possibly being a scam when I was at the Red Cross the other day. So something that I meant to pass on to you off mic, but I was like bleeding out and someone was nearby like, this place is fucked up.

Wait, who worked there? Wait, were you giving blood? No, someone who was, I was giving blood. See, I ain't never heard nobody say giving blood, call it bleeding out. Got shot, Jamie. So I was bleeding out,, I do every Tuesday. At the Red Cross.

And they just bagged it up. They bagged it up. This is what happened. I had a wound. It was bleeding everywhere. They bagged it up. They're like, you're in the right place. Gave it to somebody else.

You're in the right place. They swept it up. But no, it was like someone who had come with another person. And they were like waiting in line for the bathroom. And they're like, I don't know. I've read some pretty shady stuff about this and then i looked it up and they had and and because they like you donate your blood and then they sell it yeah like they i didn't know that i thought i was doing such a good thing and then i was bleeding out and thinking about i was

like oh i'm doing a stupid thing and then every like natural disaster like is a payday for the american red cross because we're like what's a legitimate organization that And then every like natural disaster like is a payday for the American Red Cross because we're like what's a legitimate organization that we can all like we know is huge. You can't be that big and not be doing

some shady shit. They have the most blood out of anyone. There's I don't know if I wanted to give my blood to someone else I wouldn't know where to go. You can give your blood to me.

Actually I have a friend I have a friend named Todd who's got a be on the streets like, hey. I want to know who's getting the profit. You just have like a pint of O positive on the street. Oh, I got that O positive. Get it while it's hot.

Yeah, that's interesting to think about, though. I've read defenses of their policy of selling it because they need to have money to do the work that they do. But that does suggest that they are rooting for natural disasters to get the funding that they need to sell the blood. I need to do more reading.

I'm by no means an expert on this. I just know that I did it because my dad, that's his source of self-esteem, is giving blood. Oh, that's cool source of self-esteem is giving blood. Oh, that's cool. And he was like, you got to do it. Better than most sources of self-esteem.

Right. That's a pretty chill one on the scale. His source of self-esteem is he's got good veins. And every time he goes to the Red Cross, the nurses compliment his veins. So he keeps going back. My wife pranks about having good veins. Yeah. I do too.

But I have bad blood but I have bad blood. I got bad veins. Good veins, bad blood. Yeah. Unfortunately. With a lot of people, bad blood. I tried to give blood at high school to get the little cord, and they were like,

sweetheart, you are severely anemic. We wouldn't give you your blood. I was like, you don't have to flex on me like that. You don't have to flex on me like that, okay? Well, I've got bad veins. We wouldn't give you your blood is such a that's brutal hurtful thing for somebody to say to somebody they didn't even have to do me like that they still gave me the cord though because i cried boomers are obsessed with um blood donation

i've found my parents are both like they're like you gotta give blood you gotta give blood and then i was like mom do you give blood and she was like no i had hepatitis, no, I had hepatitis. I'm like, you had hepatitis? She had hepatitis. Oh, well, she got poked by something and then she had hepatitis. Well,

you said had, so it sounds past tense. Yeah, but then you can never do it. If you had hepatitis once, you can never give blood your whole life. You can just bother

your kids about it. So she's just like, we, as a family, we need to be putting out this amount of blood and I'm out. blood so by proxy when you give blood it's like me giving blood because i gave you my blood exactly and you're talking

about the fact that there is like a subway like punch card type thing at the blood bank where like if you give like 15 pints of blood i don't know how much blood you give i i don't know what the units are. A certain number. If you give it 18 times, they put your name on a plaque, and I respond very well to that kind of incentivizing. I was like, I'll see you next week. What's the most you can give blood once a week?

No, once every two weeks you can give platelets, and that's when you're bleeding all the way out, and you watch Once Upon a Time in Hollywood while you do it. It takes like two hours. Oh my goodness. It's scary. What is something you think is underrated? I think underrated are Axe scent names.

Axe? Oh, Axe, yeah. Yeah, so like- Axe Body Spray. You have Axe Body Spray here and at home we have Lynx. Lynx, yes. I remember being very confused the first time I saw that. I'm like, is this off-brand Axe?

Yeah, no, I don't know if it's OG Axe, actually, guys. I don't know whether we came up with it first. I don't know. But they are basically the same thing. And I think they're underrated because they name them things like Mirage. Right. And Dimension. Like they name them things that make them sound exciting

that are in no way anything like the scent that you're going to smell. That would be a fascinating look behind the curtain of the process by which they come up with Atlantis. Apollo. Black eclipse. Oh, is that one of them?

Oh, yeah. Voodoo. I've got some alternative names that I think are more realistic. Teenage Hope. Yeah. Ball Vinegar. Ball Vinegar is amazing. I'd like to put that one at the top of the list.

Truck Stop. Yeah. Chapstick. Uh-huh. Sporty Sportsman. Oh. I like that one. Go on. Old Loastick. Uh-huh. Sporty sportsman. Oh. I like that one. Go on.

Old loafer. Uh-huh. Insurance fraud. Wild rat. Oh, whoa. Hmm. Is that wild rat mixed with ball vinegar? Jiu-jitsu. Jiu-jitsu.

Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I mean, some of these are. So, Australia is. No. All vinegar and jujitsu. Jujitsu. Brazilian jujitsu, if you want to make it in LA. So Australia is one in 2017. Oh, there's a Lynx Africa. There's Ice Chill, which I guess that sounds right. But then Xbox. Yeah, remember we talked about that when there was going to be a whole custom Xbox,

like gamer-centric line. But I think that was just for the Lynx crowd. It wasn't for the Axe gang. What is the smell of Xbox? I don't know. Not leaving your house for three days while you're playing Fortnite. The low-hanging fruit version is a gamer thing? See, you're actually being discriminatory,

assuming it's for men, because they also have Anarchy for Her Too, which was released in 2013. Wait, for her too is the whole language? Two. Yeah, like two using Roman numerals, like the Godfather 2. Oh, that reminds me of Fabio's fragrance. Do you remember Fabio, the 90s supermodel?

Oh, yeah. Who could forget? Who got hit by- A bird on a roller coaster. We were remember Fabio, the 90s supermodel? Oh, yeah. Who could forget? Who got hit by a bird on a roller coaster. We were just talking about that the other day. I'm never not talking about that a little bit. I mean, it's still Zeitgeist as far as I'm concerned. Oh, 100%. But he released a fragrance that was called For Her, For Him, For Her.

For Her, For Him, For Her. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I mean, that's well put, Fabio. Or maybe the fragrance was called something else, but it was underneath it had for him, for her, for him. For her, for him. For her, for him.

For us. For us. For Fabio Conde fragrance? Who knows? I mean, maybe they could have just took it off the earth because it was so bad. He's probably lying oiled up on a rock somewhere still waiting for someone to photograph him yeah fabio lanzoni oh all right let's get into uh the news and what

what's more newsworthy than the fact that chipotle is going into guac mode i I just saw the word guac mode and I said, what the fuck is this? Is it trending or something? Well, apparently, every food site has been writing about it. I think they put a press release out today that basically they're saying for the entire month of February,

if you're already a Chipotle rewards person, if you just scan in, guac, boom. What do you want it on? Free. You get extra guac. No, you can get guac, boom. What do you want it on? Free. You get extra guac. No, you can get guac for free. So if you get a regular price entree, you scan your app, you get guacamole as a topping or a side for free.

Okay. Who's doing a side of guac? Just that's it? I don't know. I think for people who I guess want the chips part. With the chips, I do that. I haven't had a- It's me, okay?

Okay, sorry, sorry. You don't get a burrito. Well, actually, you get burritos. I get straight up burritos. And then I always just have the guac thrown on top. No, I like the guac on the side. Wow. With the chips.

I really like their chips. I'm a big Chipotle chips guy. Oh, okay. You know when I love Chipotle? When it's free. Exactly. That's when it's at its best. Exactly's why i'm like looking at this it's funny that they clearly this is a ploy to get people to join the rewards program oh yeah right so which i'm surprised

they did not do this earlier because i feel like chipotle and like guacamole are like a thing on the internet like people always talk there's memes about being like, I said, I want guac. I don't care. Like people just, there's a sentiment about knowing that guacamole costs more. Right.

Just, I'm just surprised. Just surprised they didn't tap into this earlier. Okay. But how much more is guac again? Like a dollar? Maybe. I think it depends on your location,

but I think it's like at least two bucks. What? In LA, maybe, yeah. Oh, that's why I've never had it, I guess. I don't think it's two if you just have ad guac on top of something. Just a splash of guac? Yeah, splash of...

Just get a splash of guac there. Let me just look really quickly. Do they have it all... Well, we don't have to get boxed out. I'm sorry. I took you into all. I'm trying to figure out. What am I saying?

This raises the question in my mind of what makes a company worth having a rewards program? What puts it in that category? Is it just that chipotle is a lunch company like they're a place we go for lunch and therefore it's like there's something sort of habit forming and therefore like we want to punch a card to do with that or what i don't know i mean i think it's like anything you know you if there's if's gamified, that's all these reward programs are. It's gamified. It's like, how many times do I check in?

Is that it? Just like we're all, everything we do is going to be gamified from now on? Or is this just like another? You got to give people incentive. Yeah. Right. Because, you know, we'll all just starve if there's not a game involved. Looking back at history.

Wandering around. That's what happened to Rome. They didn't gamify things and then they fell apart yeah i think we don't gamify breakfast i feel like do we i guess coffee coffee's gamified a little bit you do the punch cards if yeah we don't gamify dinner it's just like lunch is gamified because i think it's like a thing we just try to get out of the way quickly or something punctuates like your day of toil. Right. You know?

So you're all day like, oh, here's the one part. You're already thinking about it. I cannot be near my boss and fucking eat a whatever, smoke a blunt in the parking lot and come back and be like, I love my job. Yeah, but when you think about it, as soon as you get downstairs and you finally get to your destination to get your lunch, by the time you get it and then go back up it's time to work again right yeah so lunch is actually the fastest thing throughout the day actually especially in new york right because when i would come work in an office like

i'm at one of my old jobs in new york i was like let's go to lunch we would go up the block and be like all right we got to go back right and i'm like fuck yeah that's right and then just eat at your desk some of the most depressing memories i have is working at new york early days of cracked when it was just starting it was like me and two other dudes uh and i would go to subway every day for lunch get the chicken sandwich with sliced jalapenos and ranch dressing and a diet sprite. Ooh, you were going through it. Yeah, and a diet sprite every day. And I thought I liked it. Like I had really convinced myself that that was a good lunch.

Like I talked about how I liked it. It was like dark days. They're like, hey, man, yeah, we're going to go to fucking Peter Luger's. And you're like, nah, I'm going to Subway. I'm going to get my,'m gonna get my what did you get chicken with ranch jalapenos turkey

and that oh dude and that diet Sprite yeah diet Sprite is what made me yeah that's where it gets really sad that's where I was like

I'm seriously worried about you I don't know anybody who yeah in a way like maybe Sid we need to turn this into an intervention yeah

it was I mean he's good now he's good he doesn't need us I look back on it now and I'm like, damn. What was the point of drinking Diet Sprite? There's no caffeine.

Yeah, no caffeine. Like I know you drink Diet Coke because it's sugar-free, but you need your caffeine. I don't know what was happening with me at that time. You're really, I can see you breaking the gears in your mind. It's very, yeah. Were you single?

Feels like it. I think I was single. I think I was just starting to date my wife at that time but like very very did she know and did she know you're eating like this yeah this is like let's go on a date you walk by the subway go to he's like hey jack another diet sprite my man you're like i don't know you. I'm the norm of that subway. She's like,

you were really rude to that guy. And how did they know your name? Yeah. They called you Jack Diet Sprite. Oh, man. I just also, it's just funny.

The guacamole thing just makes me think of about how broke millennials are and how much we hold the avocado and guacamole as like this thing. Like, like I was saying, the thing about Chipotle is it's guacamole is almost like a luxury item when you're in there it is shit okay that's more i'm investing in the guac if i do that and for them to do this feels like for me i'm like is this warming my heart because i'm used to pretending this is sort of like a expensive thing that i'm getting for free and it's also working on me that way not just that it's a free thing but does guac have a place in our consciousness you feel seen as a generation maybe i'm thinking too deep into this i think you are yeah the thing is chipotle is like so easy to

get right and then it's you know it's fast and i think chipotle is the only place where um avocado is important right you need it yeah it's imperative that you get it but like when i go anywhere else i'm not really thinking about avocado like that yeah that's true maybe sub i tried it once at subway once ever yeah and i was like i'm not doing this yeah subway i think it's a dollar guac for a dollar and they advertise that and how much is a diet spray don't worry about it was part of a really great meal that i would have with oh you know what else very sad baked lays were involved in that just dusty ass dried out what kind of baked lays like health kick were you on diet just right and baked lays i think i was just trying to make myself suicidal

through my lunch choices. Oh boy. Yeah, I mean but shout out to Chipotle. Give us that wooden card that people get where you get free Chipotle for life. Is that a real thing?

I know Desus has one. A wooden card? Yeah, it's like a wood credit card that came in a box and he just he flashes at chipotle and i think it's on site who's that he's this he's nice yeah love yeah so i'm like the best i look to him to know what direction i need to go to a god yeah if you could have one of those cards for any any store that's not like you know a luxury items what what would you wing stop wing stop stop on 100 but would they serve like would their service be good still like it's not like they would get it's not like you would just get to the front of the line

and they would just be like all right yes we serve you and like your food comes out immediately no i just need free free if it's free i't care. I'll wait with everybody else. And also, I don't eat at Wingstop. When I get it, I pick it up and I eat it in shame in my car. Yeah. I think most of my Wingstop experiences are around the Super Bowl, so that might be why. Mine are usually around Sundays.

Most Sundays. How about you, Sydney? What would be your wooden card? What I would need it for? Your wooden card brand. Yeah. I would definitely need Starbucks. Starbucks?

I'm there a lot. Yeah. Yeah, they know me. And I don't want to say this, but I love their chicken sausage bacon biscuit. Oh, is that a breakfast item? Yeah. They have some breakfast items that are- I just go with sous vide egg whites.

Yeah. That's my thing it's it's a it's a weird it's a bold choice it's like you're you're going through something but chic you know yeah no for sure they have some breakfast sandwiches that are very like bad for you and delicious yeah i remember the first time i looked at what the calorie count was yeah are you for real what's the calorie count like over 600 for like a very small thing and i was like that's a lot considering my mind i thought this was healthy but also i don't i don't care it's not that i count calories yeah they're pretty meaningless they have a ham sandwich on i think it's a croissant that is so greasy that like it makes the bread or it makes the paper and like any clothing it comes in contact with translucent immediately.

Oh, great. All right. 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. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current.

All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. EPM 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.

Like what's the history behind bacon-wrapped hot dogs? Hi, I'm Eva Longoria. Hi, I'm Maite Gomez-Rejon.

Our podcast, Hungry for History, is back. Season two. Season two. Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? And this season, we're taking in a bigger bite out of the most delicious food and its history. Saying that the most popular cocktail is the margarita, 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. When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and, of course, lucha libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this. Lucha Libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment. Lucha Libre is a type of storytelling. It's a dance. It's tradition.

It's culture. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask. A 12-episode podcast in both English and Spanish about the history and cultural richness of Lucha Libre. And I'm your host, Santos Escobar, the emperor of Lucha Libre and a WWE superstar. Join me as we learn more about the history behind this spectacular sport from its inception in the United States to how it became a global symbol of Mexican culture. We'll learn more about some of the most iconic heroes in the ring. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask.

Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of my Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. And we're back. Fortunately, I think us influencers have our candidate chosen. Oh, yes. I have good news. Mike Bloomberg. The Bloomberg campaign has quietly begun. Mr. Stop and Frisk himself.

Yes. Have some news. Man of the people. Yes, man of the people. They are putting advertising for influencers on a platform called Tribe, which is a branded content marketplace that connects social media influencers with brands. And they're looking for some influencers

to shout out their boy, LL Cool Bloomberg. LL Cool, can I read what they posted on Tribe? Which I'd never heard of Tribe before. I guess I'm not on that Tribe level. I will take Bloomberg's $150 and post my Instagram stories. Okay, so the Bloomberg campaign is pitching micro-influencers, someone who has 1,000 to 100,000 followers, okay? That's us!

Everyone in this room qualifies. Okay! To create original content quote that tells us why Mike Bloomberg is the electable candidate who can rise above the fray, work across the aisle so all Americans feel heard and respected. Are you sick of the chaos and infighting overshadowing the issues that matter most to us? Please express your thoughts verbally or for still image posts. Please overlay text about why you support Mike. The campaign copy tells Bloomberg stands.

That's me. Do I have to submit it to them before I get paid? Can I just put it on my page? I don't know. I identify heavily with rich white billionaires. I don't know. I identify heavily with rich white billionaires. I don't think anybody could represent me, a black woman, better than Mike Bloomberg. I will troll Mike Bloomberg so hard and take his money.

That's the thing. I'm like, we could all get $150 out of this and then post the least sincere thing ever. The only rules are you can't swear and you can't post nudes, which would be funny if you just posted a full-ass naked picture like vote for Mike Pornhub. Wait, is it only Instagram or across all platforms? I think he's going for Instagram people specifically, but that was reported in the Daily Beast recently. Is this on Tribe?

Tribe. Have you heard of that? No, I haven't heard of Tribe, but I'm going to take my ass right on. I'm going to scoot on over there. You should. you should micro influence your way to the top baby that's unbelievable so i mean he's winning clearly i mean this is this is how you get to one in a hundred it is by micro this is the micro he's the micro winner yeah 538 is taking notice he's doing grassroots but the billionaire way. Also, for a billionaire, I'm like, you're only giving people $150?

Yeah, come on. Come up off it, Michael. See, that's why we don't fuck with you. You don't want to get off these monies. Pay me a salary. Give me money. That is, yeah, but that couldn't be more billionaire. Like, paying people on a tech platform to do labor for you and wildly underpaying them. Woohoo!

Finally, let's talk about the Escobar 2. This is the funniest shit to me. Pablo Escobar's brother, okay? The drug kingpin, Pablo Escobar, his brother, Roberto, huge fucking tech maven,

okay? He's all in. He's trying to design all kinds of phones and shit right now. He's the new Esteban Trabajos, as I would say, or Steve Chops. Now, from my bilingual speakers out there. So he wants to make this new device called the Escobar Fold 2, and it's a foldable cell phone. It's a knockoff of the Galaxy Fold phone, like a terrible knockoff,

but it's just rebranded with like a Pablo Escobar golden monogram on the back. The kinds of shit that his brother has done just along the way here, he threatened to sue Elon Musk for allegedly stealing his idea for that flamethrower and demanded $1 billion from Netflix also over the show about his brother.

And then, so in December, he's like, well, I've got this revolutionary phone. It's going to sell for $1,000 less than the biggest one out there. And he said, I have told many people that I would beat Apple, and I will. Okay. And then, so this phone comes out. It's apparently based off the Royal Flex Pi or something. It's basically a knockoff.

But when people were trying to buy it, they only got all kinds of headaches from it. They said that they took the $349 that these people were paying for the phones and then 100 just didn't deliver when they were supposed to and some people when they did like get something in the mail it was a fucking book written by roberto escobar with the title i made billions selling coke now my smartphones will destroy Apple and Samsung. That's what they got instead of an actual phone. Yes. I love it.

The equivalent. I mean, that's actually, to be fair, that title of a book is basically cocaine. Right. That is big cocaine story. Exactly. That is big cocaine energy, man. And then my fucking smartphones fucking destroy Apple and Samsung, man.

Who are you? That is the most cocaine thing that I've ever heard. Yeah. I made billions. It's just enormous plans. The title. I made billions selling Coke. Now my, what's the pivot there?

Now my smartphones will destroy Apple and Samsung. Yeah. The other really fantastic part about this is that Mike Bloomberg isn't the only person using his business savvy to get celebrity endorsements uh for some of his products he's also like been using cameo to get like cameos a website where you can pay like washed celebrities like 20 bucks excuse you yours truly is on cameo if you want to personalize shout out no i'm just kidding i am but it all goes to charity i mean yeah you're doing it the right way it's's when I see people like Bethany Frankel,

like doing her videos at like the back of a van. It's like, hey, it's Bethany. I heard it was your birthday. Happy birthday. So all kinds of people are like on here, including Corey Lewandowski, Donald Trump's former campaign manager. And somewhat just when you listen to these endorsements, they ring so fucking hollow

and they just sound like a cameo video. It's so sad that Lewandowski is on cameo. Oh, I feel sorry for him. I mean, it's sad. So Bethany Frankel shoots videos in the back of a van. Yes. I bought a cameo by Ramona Singer from Real Housewives

of New York for my friend's birthday party. And she did a great job. She seemed a little she seemed like she had been enjoying some wine. Turtle time? It was turtle time. Oh, you know your house wine. Hey, I'm fluent. You know what I mean?

Wait, what is turtle time? That's what she says. It's like a little song slash dance that she does when she's like turning up. Turtle time. It's so weird. It's so weird. I never quite got it, but I did enjoy it. So he's going on Cameo and getting some great celebrity endorsements from Corey Lewandowski, Trump's former campaign manager.

I'll just play this Corey Lewandowski one for everybody. Just so you can hear how amazing this new revolutionary cell phone is. This is celebrated snake oil salesman, Corey Lewandowski. Hey, this message is for Roberto. Roberto, it's Corey Lewandowski. I was president Trump's 2016 campaign manager and his current 2020 senior advisor. Look, all off reached out to me, and I want to just tell you guys that I've seen the new Escobar Fold 2 phone, and it's absolutely incredible. So this is just a quick, big shout-out

to you guys that did all the work behind that, and I wish you the very best and all the success in the world. Don't forget, vote Donald Trump November 2020. Holy shit. The energy of this also. He had a real intense energy.

My man did not blink once. If you look, he actually didn't blink the whole time. He doesn't blink, just like. He starts off the video from the back and then leans into it. Right. Hey, Roberto, it's me, Corey Lewandowski,

Camp's Trump Pay Manager. Manager. Right. Why is he introducing himself to him? Well, like I. Just making sure the check cleared. Just the audience for who he thinks he's talking to is unclear to me.

Because he's talking to Roberto, but then he's also talking about Roberto's product. Yeah, maybe they'll edit that for the thing. Because maybe Roberto Escobar is smart and be like, well, these Trump people buy fucking anything. They buy Trump-branded plastic straws. Oh, they'll buy anything anything if cory lewandowski is endorsing the

fold too then maybe they'll line up then we really get to see his whole marketing plan really play out because he also got a cameo video from chris hansen from to catch a predator and again i don't know who the marketing team was goes this is who you need cory lewandowski and chris hansen from to catch a predator and these phones are going to fly off the shelf And again, I don't know who the marketing team was. It goes, this is who you need. Corey Lewandowski and Chris Hansen from Catch a Predator. And these phones are going to fly off the shelf. Listen to this one again, too. This one's kind of sad. Hey, guys.

Chris Hansen here of Hansen vs. Predators. And to Catch a Predator, I just wanted to tell you all that I've seen this amazing new smartphone called the Escobar Fold 2. It appears to be the best phone out right now. I've been looking at the transcripts. So have a seat, check it out, and remember, I'll be watching. Take care. Oh my god. He's drunk.

I have to say, I don't want to like... He has seen better days. I did not recognize him. Yeah, Chris Hansen looks like shit. He looks rough. He looks like he drank a bunch of hotel wine. Is he in a hotel room? Is that what the background is? He doesn't have that kind of design restraint.

It's not that he looks unkempt, like he just rolled out of bed. He has his hair combed. He just looks bad. He sounds like Joe Namath when he was hitting on Susie Colbert. Listen to one of his lines. Hey, guys. Chris Hansen here of Hansen vs. Predators. And to catch a predator, I just want to...

To catch a predator. That's definitely some flirts. I know why I flirt when I hear it. I don't know. Because he's probably blasting through his cameos. Quick 50 bucks, 50 bucks, 50 bucks. The fact that they would do that for 50 bucks, like that's... Well, it all depends.

I don't know what Chris Hansen's rates are, but I think... Cameo lets you like... Yeah, you pick your own rates mine are a reasonable five dollars right for all those listening like you will endorse a product i mean i think that some people have figured out that you can so mostly cameo is like it's my friend's birthday she loves you you know say hello can i get debbie gibson to say hi exactly exactly it's like a dumb gif whatever i think some people have figured out that you can get celebrities to seemingly endorse like your project or your brand or something. And like, no offense to these people,

but a lot of them are too dumb to know the difference. Like there was a thing on Cameo where like Nazis were getting celebrities to like say Nazi slogans and they just like didn't know. So I think people have realized you can kind of gamify it. Got it. I mean, some of these prices, wow. Okay, so for for example chris hansen you can get him for 60 dollars oh that's a steal michael rapaport 150 what gilbert godfrey 150 ernie hudson okay 135 uh shall i go on flavor

flave 250 sir i'm not i don't have time. Tommy Lahren, you can get for $80. Oh, shit. Yo, if we pulled our money, there's no way that she would say what we want her to say. Nah, but we would have to do a weird thing where we could stitch it all together in a maniacal supercut. I mean, she's already debased herself,

so it doesn't matter. Yeah, I can't even imagine. Oh, shit, you get Redman for $1.50? Shout out to Reggie Noble, one of my favorite rappers. Oh, shit, I might do that episode of rappers oh shit i might do that oh miles do you have a birthday coming up maybe someone will get you this cameo i mean i'd be lying if i said i already didn't get myself one this is what i also love did you watch cheer of course you remember jerry 150 if you want jerry harris to get him what's it called when they like cheer? Oh, yeah.

To get him to Matt Talk you would be so dope. And then we remember Mark McGrath when he famously broke up with that one dude. Oh, my God. Right. 125. 125. Yeah. That is the, so the title of that book is Cocaine in Book Title Form.

There's a clip of Mark McGrath on Wendy Williams that is cocaine in old video form. It's amazing. It's hard to find, though. They had it taken down. Damn. He is flying. Gary Busey, $350. Yeah.

Gary Busey. Come on. That's a little steep. Hey, the market determines the price. Yeah. He's not out here putting it out there at 350 without uh getting some buyers i mean yeah and you get randy jackson for american idol for 250 to come to your house in person yeah and say whatever you want dude or

brian scalabrini for 99 bucks wow brian scalabrini oh and, Andy King from Fire Festival fame? 125. Damn, Corey Lewandowski's are only 55 bucks. That's so sad to me. 55? I mean, whatever, you know. Andy King's, like the time that he's spending just reading like terrible joke after terrible joke about him sucking somebody's dick for water like over and over and over and that's like a

black mirror that is like a black mirror where your job is to embarrass yourself into your phone for credits to come back yeah god wow it is like a dystopian nightmare that just got very dark i know because if you think about it right like i have to go this is sort of like the end game of celebrity yeah where at a certain point the the markets have done what they have done with you they've they're done with you you no longer present value and you're just like well i'd love to be able to make passive money as best as i can right so now i'm literally just saying i'll say whatever you want for a couple of bucks. So you can laugh at me. Yeah. Ooh. That's like when Dirk Diggler jerking off in the truck.

Pick up truck scene. Come on, man. Harder. Faster. Go as fast as I can. You can't get hard. It's so sad. It's so sad.

And then don't they kick his ass? Yeah. That whole scene, yeah, it was a gay bashing thing. Yeah. God. That whole sequence

is so dark. Yeah. Hey, shout out to the San Fernando Valley. Because the character like is then a gay basher but he's clearly into it when it's happening right but yeah oh hey well you can get tim hardaway senior for 50 bucks i feel like tim hardaway can get a little more than 50 some of these i feel like they're really selling themselves short yeah a couple of them

like hold on now you know sean kingston Kingston is $300. Okay, well. Yeah. That's interesting. This could, I would just listen to a podcast. Those just people going through and reading cameo prices. The cameo podcast. Just an over-under on cameo prices. Holy shit. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, $500.

See, that's somebody who knows their fucking worth. Yeah, that's a legend. That is like a timeless icon. God, my dad would die if I got like a cameo from him. If I was like, oh, happy birthday, dad. It's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Here's the guy who scored the most points in the history of NBA basketball. Gosh.

That's unbelievable. All right. We are 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. The story of one strange and violent summer.

what was submitted to the rowing team at USC has been made public and it's pretty impressive. Like she is an olympic caliber rower according to this resume which is all totally made up and just the ballsiest thing i've ever seen somebody they're just like hey yeah she's the best gold san diego crew classic gold medal 2016 silver medal 2015 gold medal 2014 like they just gave her the resume of a prodigy and look i just gotta say who here hasn't lied on their resume it's just a new level of line right right right yeah look you guys don't have a olympic combat athlete on your resume a gold medal in pro wrestling 2008 yeah i don't know why she just

didn't lie on her resume that she went to usc there you go that's super funny the cheapest fucking yeah that would have saved them five hundred thousand dollars as well as jail time yeah that would yeah nobody checks you can just say that you went to Harvard. I barely look at resumes, let alone follow them up. I did quit college to just move to New York to make it, you know? Yeah. Made it. I heard if you make it there, you can make it there. Yeah.

Well, actually, that's... Wait, where'd you hear that from? Just like any source. Oh, yeah, yeah. Was it from NASA? Was it from NASA? I believe it was NASA said that if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. On a vernal equinox.

Oh, good. I saw the tweet. Don't need to look into it. I trust it. So I quit college and I moved to New York and I was trying to get temp jobs. And they're like, oh, you have to have graduated college. And I was like, oh, great. Well, then I did.

They go, okay, cool. Right. Then you can work. I was like, well, this is very easy. Well, what a coincidence because i did and just forgot to put it on the road you know like i have so much cool job stuff i just didn't have room for it on my resume because you know gotta keep it to one page right i had a bunch of temp agencies and one of them actually did check once for one job like they asked to check and then i

got a call and they were like hey there's some discrepancy on your status, graduating status at George Mason. And I said, oh, yes, I did not graduate. You got me. Very good. What are you, a detective? I did. She said, you shouldn't lie on your resume. And I said, oh, you couldn't be more wrong about that.

That's like in my adult life. I think that my college has only ever been looked into for one job. And when they wanted my transcripts and stuff and that they asked, I was like, this is insane. Yeah, right. This is insane. I mean, like. You just get outraged that they're checking. Well, it's just like, oh, I guess I got to call my college and send a transcript to this like random comedy website.

Oh, my God. Yeah. Also, the temp jobs were just sitting in a receptionist chair yeah for a day you don't need to graduate yeah all right that's gonna do it for this week's weekly zeitgeist please like and review the show if you like the show uh means the world to miles he he needs your validation, folks.
