Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of the weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from this week, all edited together into one nonstop infotainment laugh extravaganza. So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. But first, Natalie, we'd like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? I would say theme song to the Golden Girls. I like TV theme songs songs or i like old stuff in general like i listen to a lot of the music that my parents listen to i like a lot of old tv

so golden girls obviously is one of my favorite shows uh night court is one of my favorite shows also has a really awesome theme song uh well like theme music like there are lyrics to the night court yeah i was trying to picture the night court theme song and all i could hear was the law and order it does have a click click at the end of it it's like wait isn't what you were just singing the i just did law and order okay yeah hold on let me just play it right now just yeah oh shit yeah oh yeah yeah it's awesome fucking made this steely dan or something yeah fucking wow the vibes also the thing i love about especially like tv theme songs is just like it shows you like everybody's personality in like 30 seconds it's always like always somebody bumbling with something.

Books fall out of somebody's locker into somebody's face, and then they turn and it's their name. Just missing a cab by a second. Oh, darn it. Damn it. Curb splash water. Right. I know everything I need to know about you already.

Yeah. Everybody should have that on their phone, just a 15- second clip of them like their tv theme song where it's just like here's my general vibe i think that should be the new tinder profiles right is reduce your personality to what your like sort of block would be in a old sitcom intro was the golden girls theme song thank you for being a yes that is that's like a little bit sentimental for that show because the show is just like great jokes ripping people apart.

Oh, yeah, they rip each other the shreds on that show. And then it's like, thank you for being a friend. But at the end of the day, you know. Yeah, at the end of the day, they love each other. After calling each other sluts for like three minutes. Well, I mean, Blanche. Yeah. Blanche DeVoe.

She earned the moniker. She put in the work. We need to put her name back into the zeitgeist. You know what I mean? We're still talking too much about sex in the city characters. Yeah, exactly. Blanche is the real. Why haven't we rebooted Golden Girls yet?

You can't touch Golden Girls you know how greedy these people are the day they do that is the day I'm going to lose my mind they should just remaster it or something or just deep fake it you know what I mean? get good writers to keep writing episodes but you still have the

same faces and people in it oh that actually would be really cool that would be dark but you know what i would watch that were they all widowers um widows widow actually no widows that's right so dorothy's the born born act um b arthur's character like she was like so she was cheated on after like 38 years of marriage so she was the only one that wasn't widowed everybody else was oh yeah and her ex-husband was oh yeah asshole yeah he was just real terrible well that's a great that's a great search history let's just run through a couple quick stories uh there is an engagement

ring that is made of crystal pepsi uh is this picture real mile this is a real picture this is the crystal pepsi engagement ring okay there started a they started like a competition last week where you could have the opportunity to have your perfect proposal uh and win this engagement ring which has a one and a half carat lab grown diamond made out yes well you know it's lab grown baby so it's not like a it's you know it's made in a lab it's not you know a conflict diamond or something um or mind um and it's made out of real crystal pepsi and i'm like what the fuck does that even mean apparently what they do is they take legit crystal pepsi they boil it down to its like most basic or just reduce it to the most basic carbon form. And then they turn that to a powder.

Then that's added to the process when they're lab growing the diamond, which is using like a bit of natural diamond and carbon and heat and pressure. It's, I don't know, but somehow it has crystal Pepsi infused in it. It's not like if you lick it, you're going to be like, oh. I honestly thought it was like a rock candy ring. I was hoping to. Like the stuff you make when you're little. This thing is blinging, baby. It looks like a real, it was like a rock candy ring. I was hoping to. Like the stuff you make when you're little. This thing is blinging, baby.

It looks like a real diamond. I mean, it absolutely is. It's just the process is different of how it arrives there. So how you can get into it, they want people to submit their proposal ideas. And the more out there it is, you might get blessed with this ring. Now, I'm not sure what the result will be if you get on one knee

and you open a box with a Crystal Pepsi logo on it. Yeah, the box, it's a white ring box. It's a white ring box, and when you open it, the surprise is that under the lid, is obviously the ring but then above that the crystal pepsi logo honestly i'm not i feel like the response you'd get from proposing with that is fuck no yeah right um but i don't know i mean unless like your relationship is based on a love of crystal pepsi yeah then maybe this is for you please record that for us so we can watch it because i want to see somebody react to that.

I would love for the person who wins that, when they put all this money in this promo, that the person says no. Right. And says, this is absurd. Your love is effervescent. They have like, right now. Playing behind them.

There's no tomorrow. I mean, but I love Crystal Pepsi That was such a fun time Yeah Those Those were the days Those were the days Was that when

Like the Michael Jackson Dangerous album came out? I feel like I I associate those times Like the I thought Crystal Pepsi was Like a couple years after Dangerous Dangerous was 91

Right? But I thought Crystal Pepsi was maybe like Crystal Pepsi Or am I 94. Crystal Pepsi. Or am I thinking of Zima? 94. Wait, no, it was Discontinued in 94. Discontinued in 94. Debuted in 92.

Yeah. Okay. All right. All right. So yeah, it is Crystal Dangerous. About the same time. Yeah. Yeah.

I'm like, yeah, Van Halen. Van Halen 2. Yeah, man. I remember those times very fondly. Dayton, Ohio. Shout out to Dayton, Ohio. That's where I live. What is something that you think is overrated?

American cheese, especially the single slices. So, okay. So here's what, okay. So one of my like old roommates just became an american citizen about like a month or two ago and his wife one of my really good friends she held like a party like a celebration party for him and one of the things that they actually asked the guests to do was to write down like a piece of advice for a new american or something to keep in mind and so my advice to him was like do not feel obligated to buy american cheese for a cookout like it's

not going to make you any less patriotic if you get like provolone or something else because it's so bad at least that's just my opinion it's really it's context cheese yeah you know i'm never like it it doesn't work on its own no you know you never it's never you'd be like oh a cheese board thank god there's some craft singles next to the gorgonzola you know what i mean like it's never like that a grilled cheese fine yeah cheese yes it's in the context of that's fine i don't even like it for grilled cheese but i do think it's the superior cheese for a cheeseburger well that's the thing really i feel like we're programmed to think like that is what should go on a burger thank you go off yeah about this program yeah and there's so many other or cook off yes yeah bay bay ridge

style yeah i mean like again it's context other than that i'm yeah i'm 100 not like don't and you can get single slices of better cheese yeah it's it's out there it's just right no yeah or refuse to look i don't know or you'd be surprised you go to your deli and have them slice it there the world is well i've never seen like an american cheese loaf i've never seen somebody like well no i meant like if you want like cheddar because sometimes you buy pre-packaged it's expensive but if you go to the deli counter i'm slice it it's way cheaper yeah is that true it's cheaper okay well versus like if you're more expensive no if you get like a sargento like pre-sliced like like you know stuff that's like four or five bucks

or something you only get like eight slices yeah if you don't open the package you can keep it for like a year i'm always surprised when you buy a bag of shredded cheese yeah and it's like used by i don't know like 2030 late 20s yeah it's like late 20s early 30s I can attest to the freshness of that because I used to do um so for my birthday I used to do these like cartoon sandwich birthday parties where I like the idea was to make like our guests could make sandwiches that were as tall as the ones on Scooby-Doo I would like give you all of the materials that you needed to make it all I just asked you to do was bring booze or soda or whatever you want. But I will bring everything you need to make.

And so I would get all those packs of cheese like Sargento. Like that was the only time I would splurge was like for that. But then, of course, like I would overbuy. And so there would just be like packs of cheese that was sitting in my fridge for like months. But then I was like, this still looks good. Like it was shrink wrapped. I will eat cheese up then I was like, this still looks good. It was shrink-wrapped. I will eat cheese up until the point that the whole surface area is covered.

Cut the mold off. You can just cut the mold off and then it's perfect on the inside. Actually, food scientists, if we have any doctors out there, please reach out to us and let us know. Is it okay to eat cheese if you just cut the mold part off? That doesn't seem

like it should be, right? Because that just seems like we're just covering up the visual evidence. Mold generally can't penetrate far into hard and semi-soft cheese, such as cheddar, Colby, Parmesan, and Swiss. So you can cut away the moldy part and eat the rest of the cheese cut off at least one inch around

and below the moldy spot. These molds are safe for healthy adults to eat. For all foods. For all foods. That's what the Mayo Clinic says. Like bread, I won't fuck with it if it starts getting moldy anywhere. I won't be like, all right, cut that mold off. My mom used to do that.

She'll be like, just cut the mold off. I guess you could batter it up and make it into French toast. Well, not the mold yeah cut the mold off cut the mold off and then make french toast out of the mold pieces we don't treat milk like that where we're like get the chunks out of there and then drink the rest of it

it's all bad it all goes bad at once let's talk about Robert Pattinson as the Batman. He, you know, a lot of people were like, what the fuck is he gonna, the guy from Twilight? Yeah, that's, y'all need to see Good Time. Yeah, also just like, it's called acting.

Right. You know, that's, he's not an affected vampire. But if you haven't seen him in anything other than that, I could see people being, because he's like real like kind of scrawny and like moody and like oh i'm so conflicted about uh but he's he's a really good actor now uh there's yeah there was a screen test footage that came out of him in the suit in a red light yeah like they showed a little bit of the new logo in a photography room uh yeah like development room with the red light. Yeah. Like they showed a little bit of the new logo. In a photography room.

Yeah. Yeah. Like development room with the red light. I mean. He looks like that. That fucking chin, bro. Yeah. The chin is making it work. You can't have a weak chin with that suit.

He was recently rated like with like a bunch of mathematic equations like drawn onto a photograph of him. He was rated as like the most symmetrically beautiful man. I have a question. Like his, he doesn't have lips. Like he, or he like barely has lips. He has very thin little lips.

That's something that I think is not a good thing. I mean, I don't want to base it off of this photo. I see it in this photo. Let me look at some more. They're there. I mean, they're not like Kenneth Branagh lips, no lips. But they're just like...

They're receding in some photos. Yeah, right. The top lip could use some love. Right. But is that just not a thing people care about? Well, clearly you like a full-lipped Batman. I like a full lip. You like Batman? I like a full-lipped human. I like a full-lip. I like a full-lip human.

You want a Michael Keaton full-lip. Does Michael Keaton have good lips? I just notice lips when they're not there. I don't notice. Oh, so it's more like a threshold it has to reach? Yeah, he has good lips. Michael Keaton does? Yeah, his are pretty full.

Yeah. He looks like he injects. I know he doesn't, because i don't know a lot of dude actors who do that but i mean i don't know that's not like that different comparatively yeah i don't know that top lip isn't i'm uh he's not turning heads with that top lip i notice lips and eyebrows i think more than most people do those are things I pay attention to well then do not look at Michael Keaton's eyebrows now avoid them

burn them off in a grill accent you look surprised Michael I just threw them on too high again yeah I mean I'm really interested in this cast that they have for this but yeah the only time we'll tell what the voice is going to be like because that's

one of the main things. When you put the suit on, how gravelly do you get? Is he going to be like, hey, I'm Batman. What's up? Don't be alarmed, guys. Just a cool guy like everybody else. I might be a billionaire. I thought Affleck had a good

Batman voice. Affleck was a fine batman he was just in bad batman movies like he i just didn't i yeah it didn't like he just like felt like a fine choice i watched batman versus superman and i fell asleep immediately and i wasn't even high or nothing it was so bad it was weird but yeah i mean yeah, I mean, I never had a problem. It just didn't capture my interest. And almost like Ben Affleck as Batman just felt like, okay, that kind of makes sense. At least with Robert Pattinson, I'm like, what is this guy going to do? Yeah.

So maybe there's that advantage for this for me. But who knows? I might not watch it. When we put like actor-reactors in as Batman, that usually works out pretty well. Because Christian Bale was like, he was totally overqualified to be Batman. Some people hate his voice. People hated the Bale voice.

I just rewatched, I think it was the third Batman, or Dark Knight Rises, and his voice jumps out at you. You're like, wait, that's kind of weird. What the fuck, bro? Yeah, it's like, wait. Like, that's kind of what i would do if i was like joking like right but he you know he's making strong choices like a frat bro batman yeah yeah it's like it's like you know like like a cartoon dog or something it's like right

that really is mcgruff all bane had to do is say all right like mcgruff yeah and then bane was like i'm gonna take a inside the actor's studio approach with my character choice yeah bane is great bane going from ledger's joker to bane like those are two great villains right in a row. Nailed it. You love Bane, huh? Oh, Bane. What a performance. Such great acting without the mouth from Tom Hardy. He truly does not want us to see his mouth when he acts. What is something you think is overrated? Working out.

Okay. This is my thing, okay? No one works out to be healthy. You just do it to be appealing to whatever person you're trying to grab their attention from sure okay like think about it like this if people weren't trying to impress anybody else physically we could just eat whatever we want be jolly as hell i don't have to get off my couch if i don't need to right the gym sucks man yes right you're saying basic maintain your basic health yeah man when you're starting to be like,

man, my lats, bro. I gotta work on my lats. Every New Year's you go to the gym is packed from January and February because everyone has like, you know, the resolutions, which I respect. Yeah.

But I can't get on no machines. Right. And then when you own a machine. Oh, so you do go to the gym. I do, but I do it because I'm single and I have to. But I don't want, I'm telling you,

the moment I get rich, it's over. You're in a. I'm telling you, the moment I get rich. It's over. You're in a hover round. For what? Yeah, right. If someone's like, hey, Gerard, do you want to do this action movie? No. No.

I'm rich, dude. Why would I ever? I'm getting a steak. For what? Yeah. Does the bad guy just eat a lot of just food? Nope. Listen.

You know what? The person I think about the most, and this is not a diss at all. This is what I really think is dope. I was watching Gladiator recently. Yeah. Russell Crowe is shredded. Yeah. Shredded.

And then I saw some video of him recently. He's got a beard. He's a little bit bigger. I was like, he went from that to looking like Santa Claus, and he looks happy as hell. Yeah. That's what I want. He was like, I can roger ailes now because right just like who the fuck else is that strength of my lifestyle yeah it's the strength of my

lifestyle and there aren't that many other like good actors like acclaimed actors who look like that think about marlon brando did it right you know i mean uh elvis did it yeah tupac the reason we can't find tupac just t Tupac out here with Jerry Crony thanks right that's why we didn't get him he was in the office the whole time

as Stanley yes you didn't know he just didn't look closely you know yeah well I think yeah it just sort of speaks

to the sort of the body ideals that are just sort of crammed in our heads with TV and stuff oh my god man then I I'm like very weird

with Instagram like I have a timer set on my Instagram. It's like 50 minutes for a day. That's it. Every time I go on Instagram, you got the thirst trappers on there, the couples working out in the gym. You got the people doing the flat tummy tees. People were working out with new

exercise equipment I've never seen. I saw something the other day that's supposed to go on your stomach that helps you get abs if you can't get to the gym. So you put it on when you're at work and it just like – Electrocutes you? Stimulator? Yeah, for your abs.

I'm like, what are we doing? Hey, we all know, man, six packs are made in the kitchen. You know what I mean? Facts. No amount of working out is going to do you any good, man. It's not working out. It's sculpting your body. Exactly.

Facts. Facts. Hey, man, I think you should sort of like realign how you're even looking at it. Oh, yeah. It's really not about gains. I haven't exercised for like physical things for a long time, but I do it like mentally it makes me feel better if I work out. And I also don't work out very much.

Yeah, I don't do a weight lift. I'll do like a hike or things like that to get my heart beating. Just to feel better, yeah. I just moved here and I live right by Runyon. Oh. This is my thing I didn't know. I didn't know, one, to get my heart beating. I just moved here and I live right by Runyon. Oh. This is my thing I didn't know. I didn't know, one,

you get dressed up when you go hiking. It's a fucking nightmare over there. People have makeup, dudes have like the matching outfits on. I'm like, this is intense.

And then people will run up the mountain. Yes. I'm like, what are you running up? Yeah. Why are you running? Right. Why are you,

it's hot, you hiking. You sweat all day. Just gotta get in my zone, man. Or else I'm not shredding. I'm not shredding i'm telling you wait till i'm rich a whole new person uh all right let's take a quick break we'll be right back how do you feel about biscuits hi i'm akilah hughes and i'm so excited about my new podcast rebel spirit where i head back to my hometown in kentucky and try to convince my high school Biscuits. Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change

their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the Biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the Biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team?

I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies. When civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hi, everyone.

What happened? Oh, no. Nothing. I mean, also, I think a lot of people die there every year and no one talks about it, but it is, they do make it aware, like you aware of it when you go there. It's, there's just like the fattest people and the most non-athletic people with their animals and children around just a giant hole. It's still crumbling. It's getting grander as you're looking over.

There's just dirt just falling off. And then there's high winds. It's just a nightmare. So you're just like, you think it's scary. It's terrifying. So you're just like, you think it's scary. It's terrifying. And to take your family, I think I was just on full alert the whole time because you're just trying to protect them.

Yeah, like the wind could blow my family away. Yeah, there's high winds, and then there's just lazy people everywhere, lazy dumb people, and then everything's kind of a death trap. And also it snakes up on you, which is not, they don't tell you about that. What do you mean? Like you can't see it. Right, because which is not they don't tell you about that what do you mean like you can't see it right because it's not up in the air yeah or like there's like there's trees too you have to drive through to get to it yeah and that's a weird thing that you're just like i guess we're you park and they say it's like right over there yeah and then you walk and then you are

like nope there it is holy shit it's kind of scary. It's big. It's very scary. I think it's, yeah. That part is overrated. You want a little betting on over-unders on Grand Canyon deaths here? Oh. I would say over 300 a year.

Oh. Okay. Yo, that is strong. Hey, you want to take that? You want that action? I'm going to go under. I'm going to go a strong under. Okay.

No, I'm going to go 13. under. No, I'm going to go 13. Wow. 12 on average. Now, that is from natural causes, medical problems, suicide, heat, drowning, traffic collisions. Now, more specifically, according to some data that's been there up until 2017, how many people do you think die from what you are talking about, Billy, falling? Accidentally.

Yeah. Yeah. A bunch. Oh, still 300? All right, Leonidas. It's crazy it's not a million fat people a year. What sayest thou, Jack? A year?

Knowing that there's 12. Right. In total. Now, how many do you think are from falling over that? Three. I think that's bullshit. I think are from falling over that? Three. I think that's bullshit. I think there's more than that. Three a year.

Three. Is it? Yeah. Damn. I'm really good at guessing numbers, guys. Let's just talk about that for a little bit. I mean, I'm sure this is just from a website that I just created for the sake of this segment. But yeah, that's according to when you Google it, that's what it comes up.

Hey, but if you're a ranger, I'm sure people know the real team. I like where you're going with like, no, they got to keep that shit. I think they do. It's a fucking death trap. It is a large business. There's a lot of theories about just state parks in general that they like kind of keep shit under wraps. It's one of the more profitable holes in the world. I've always thought that Vegas kind of underreports their crime quite a bit.

Oh, God damn. Yes. It's fully like just tourism supported. My friend had just the saddest people not, things not working out. Yeah. I had a friend intervene during a robbery on the strip. You shouldn't do that. I was, yeah, if you saw this dude, you'd be like,

he looks like someone who would intervene during a robbery. You still shouldn't. Right. Yeah, and I was like, bro,

go ahead. You have, I'm like, you have kids and you still did that shit. Yeah, that's dumb, man.

Well, he was just, yeah, he just has this energy though. He was like, hey, and was like, he's like,

what the fuck? Like, charge this dude and the guy went running and I was like, dude, what if he fucking clapped you or something? Right. Some people just have was like, he's like, what the fuck? Like, charge this dude. And the guy went running. And I was like, dude, what if he fucking clapped you or something? Some people just have that, like, either it's brave or stupid or whatever.

How many drinks deep was he? Barely any. Barely any. But I like that. No, not, and I would say. He was feeling loose. Yeah, you know how it gets. I was feeling break up or robbery loose.

Yeah. He's like, look, I have a couple two-foot margaritas. And I start feeling like I get that vigilante bite. I used to get very brave when I was drunk, and I think it was because it was the first time I had sensed anything approaching bravery in my life. It was like after a couple drinks, I was like, whoa, this must be what people feel like.

Whoa, I'm Superman. Let's punch stuff. Right. I saw two, whoa, this must be what people feel like. Whoa, I'm Superman. Let's punch stuff. Right. I saw two homeless dudes fighting one time. I turned the corner and they were going at it. My instinct was to break them up. Sure. Yeah. But then I stopped myself because I was like, they

know what this is about and I don't and they'll just turn on me. Or somebody, the homie might see you and think you're jumping in for somebody else. And I just kind of slowly backed away. And then they't. And they'll just turn on me. Or somebody, the homie might see you and think you're jumping in for somebody else. And I just kind of slowly backed away. And then they did. They worked it out and went on their way. That's always funny when you watch a fist fight or street fight sort of naturally end without any party being KO'd.

And they're kind of like, all right, dude, fuck it. It was. All right, fuck it. Are we cool? That's what they both said. We're cool. We're cool. You cool? I'm cool. both said. We're cool. We're cool. You cool?

I'm cool. And then they went the other way. I was like, that is just for me today, I guess. You're looking around. Anybody? No one else. Just me in this alley in Seattle. I was like, I'm going to go home, I think.

Right. We talked months ago, I think back in September, about the fact that there was this movie from Damon Lindelof coming out called The Hunt. Damon Lindelof who has since this story just completely crushed his reboot of The Watchmen

or of Watchmen. What is it? Watchmen. Just Watchmen. Watchmen. Yeah. Discman. I called it Discman. the discman a discman i thought you're just doing a bit i i noticed people were like reacting weirdly in brooklyn heads were turning in the audience yeah what the fuck did he say

of the yeah anyways so that movie has been uncanceled. Wait, it was a thing? It was just a weird, like, dark fantasy of... So the way that the story was released back in September described it as a movie about liberals hunting, quote, deplorables. And that does sound controversial. Yes. And like the sort of thing that, I don't know. It would be interesting to see Hollywood making that point since Hollywood, not always great at dramatizing people

who don't share their political views. I'd be interested to see. Well, because in that one, the deplorables are the heroes, right? Right. Who have to fight back against. Right. Right. That's what you would assume uh but apparently so they're re-releasing it and like leaning on

how controversial it is they're calling it on this poster the most talked about movie of the year is one nobody's seen yet jesus and they have all these quotes like it's trying to yeah it's trying to destroy our culture uh but it's actually apparently not what we thought it's apparently not really politically partisan it's more about a conspiracy theory that gets away from people uh like a rich lady texts her friend something joking about like how they should hunt deplorables and then there's like a q anon conspiracy that gets going about like based on that text and then it like just run gets away from them it's like a game of telephone yeah it's a game of telephone that then turns into like actually people being hunted somehow oh so it's not just more like an

elevated version of The Quiet Place? Right. Is that what that movie was? Which one? What's the Krasinski one? Yeah, The Quiet Place. Yeah, yeah, where that one was sort of, like was a little more vague,

but maybe being like, don't raise your voice because then the spooky people get you. This one is like, yeah, man, the elites are hunting the deplorables. Right. But I like that it's, so it's taking this sort of more,

I thought it was just aggressively like, those are the stakes. Right. It's a world where rich, so it's taking this sort of more, I thought it was just aggressively like, those are the stakes. Right. It's a world where rich people are hunting working people for a sport. Yeah. I mean, they've made that movie before, Surviving the Game with Ice-T.

Right. Hard Target with John Club Van Damme. Or just having a job here in this country. Yes. But apparently, yeah, it's just, it's not what we all thought it was um and i'll be interested because now damon lindelof i i liked season two of leftovers quite a bit and then now watchman is uh really made me think he's he's kind of a genius. So I'll be interested to see what he comes with. Yeah.

I mean, it seems, I don't know. I need to see like a trailer to kind of understand how it's being presented. They just did a trailer. So we can watch that and get back to you guys. Anyways. Wow, this is sweet. Yeah. So we usually try to end on downer you guys you guys started

me high yeah i guess we have to talk about bone thugs we have to talk about bone thugs i'm googling that too um so wow we there a video account comes out when they're being like we are now bone less thugs okay and i was like what fuck who paid them to do this this is buffalo wild wings of course credit to them they put wait yes this is to promote hot wings okay this is where i get it gets me a little hot i was not ready for that yeah they did credit to them they did a whole mockumentary style video that's actually kind of funny yeah well done um but like the whole idea is like nah man we're boneless wings don't worry it works with everything um and crazy bone is in this well hold on you mean crazy boneless

yeah okay you mean uh wishbone less stop this um but lazy he is not fucking with it in the in the in the actual clip he's like nah i'm not doing this shit like his character was kind of the straight man and he's like this is bullshit he's like i'm fucking lazy bone i'm not really he's still in this chicken commercial though yeah he is he is so he was the one who got to pretend he had his dignity but he's still in the chicken commercial also let's be real fucking boneless wings are not wings they're just fucking chicken nuggets for cowards yeah chicken yes that's all it is yeah i always think about do you guys remember uh the buffalo no was it the the chicken chicken it was Mary J Blige and it was a Burger King yeah it was the chicken the chicken fries yeah chicken fries

chicken fries and oh my I remember dragging her for was like why you do okay this is I will say this it is hard for me because I'm a black person and I feel like I I went to a predominantly white school and I became very self-conscious about very like black things yeah of course I very I feel very self-conscious about like eating watermelon in public listen to rap music and eating fried chicken yeah so now I'm looking at bone thugs in this fried chicken I don't give a buffalo wings are just fried chicken yeah right buffalo wings are fried chicken they're in this fried chicken commercial i'm like this is not the bone i knew yeah i know this ain't the bone what is what's going to do now what what what what will tank do they're doing uh impossible burger

commercials wait are you for a white castle i know ray and ghostface no really yes they had what they were like yo we fuck with it and they they were at a white castle that was serving it, and they did an impromptu show. But it wasn't the whole Wu-Tang. I'm pretty sure it was either Ghost or Ray or both of them. But did they say Wu-Tang, though? Maybe not. Okay. That counts for the whole team.

That counts for the whole team. Yeah. But this one, I mean, the whole- Wow. Just the idea of Lazy Bone. When you watch it, it's really funny because he's really like, this is the dumbest shit I've ever heard. But again, still getting the baggage.

He in the commercial. Still getting the bag. I mean, tell me what you're going to chew when there ain't no bones to hide. Oh, no. The bones have come for you. The bones have come for you. Shout out to the band. They had a round of some really great songs.

Shout out to They had a round of Some really great songs I used to love them Because I knew nothing About what they were saying No And I miss my uncle Charles Y'all

I just know they miss Their uncle Charles Y'all Yeah y'all Y'all And then they sing about The first of the month Yeah Wake up Wake up I just know they miss their Uncle Charles. Y'all. Yeah, y'all. Y'all. Man, I miss my Uncle Charles. And then they sing about the first of the month. Yeah.

Wake up, wake up. I think there's a bunch of uncles in Crossroads because they say, head south thinking there's a party, easy sees Uncle Charlie. Oh, it's Uncle Charlie? Yeah, there's an Uncle Charlie. Oh, Uncle Charles. I'm an idiot. Oh, Jack.

Oh, man. I need to study longer at the book of bone Remember that video When all the dead people are behind them Just walking to heaven Someone had a tweet of being like The scariest motherfucker ever is that one dude Whose eyes just go black

You're like That's scarier than the Babadook Sorry You seen that video? Freak me the fuck out. Man. Oh, and I can't spoil it. I'm going to say

one of the scariest things I've seen lasted probably 20 seconds. I watched Parasite and it's just like a 20 second clip. And it's just, I don't know if it's real,

but it's just, you know, spoiler alert, it's been out for like three months. All right, spoiler alert, if you don't want to spoil Parasite, skip ahead 30 seconds. Well, I'm not, I won't even say it. It's just one part where like one of the moms is telling a story.

But again, you don't know if the story's real or if it's from the son's perspective. And it's super quick. And you just see these eyes appear. And I'm like, oh, shit. And I just can't imagine. And it's just like this big. He's coming up from the eyes from the bottom of the stairs. You just see the eyes and the smile. And I'm like, what the hell? And it's so quick. I'm. He's coming up from the eyes from the bottom of the stairs. You just see the eyes and the smile.

And I'm like, what the hell? And it's so quick. I'm like, what the hell is this? So I always think about that. The Bone Thugs video. And then also,

these are just my fears. List my fears. Real good. And then, Witches. I don't know if you guys seen that movie, Witches.

They came out like in the 90s. Yeah. And they just turned boy yeah and she like morphed into the witch yeah and like her eyes changed i'm like see i don't mess with eyes i don't do eye drops i don't do contacts i don't do like when people touch their eyes so you didn't like clockwork orange huh just peeling your eyes open oh all right let's take another break and we'll be right back.

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the rebels, into something everyone in the South loves,

the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County rebels will stay the Boone County rebels with the image of the biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print. They lying. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch is a leader. You choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team?

I just take all the other stuff out of it. Segregation academies. When civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that.

followed by the mojito from Cuba, and the piña colada from Puerto Rico. So all of these... We have, we think, Latin culture.

What's something people think is true you know to be false? Or vice versa. I think people think the Bigfoot is a myth, but I think he's real. Okay.

You've been hanging out with Chris Crofton or something? I mean, I do hang out with Chris Crofton. Yeah, I was going to say. But that's not. We're You've been hanging out with Chris Crofton or something? I mean, I do hang out with Chris Crofton. Yeah. But that's not. That has nothing. We're both at your live taping. Yeah, that has nothing to do with. I was unsure about Bigfoot until I moved to the northwest. And I've been in those woods.

And that's. I was like, oh, if a creature's smart enough, he could live up here. Right. Pretty easy. Pretty vast. Yeah. And he could take care of himself. If I were able to put together the funds for you to find Bigfoot, would you undertake such an endeavor?

Yeah, if I don't have to worry about money. Fuck yeah. I would do so much if they were just like, here's the money. I'm like, sure, that sounds like a fun year. Do you think you could actually figure something out? If you were enough that you sort of felt intuitively like in the space that it was roaming, like, okay, I could see how to fucking rock around. I don't know if I could give you definitive proof.

Sure. But I think, yeah, I think I could find, you know. I'm honestly, we should put a GoFundMe together. I'm more interested if I'm being honest. I'll pay to see you and Chris Crofton hunt Bigfoot. Yeah. Oh, hell yeah. I don't care enough.

Right, exactly. I care more about aliens. i'm more interested in aliens and what's underwater than i am bigfoot i just think bigfoot's real i do that's like i find big like bigfoot conspiracies uh somewhat i don't know no just like boring even though like i yeah i don't really have a strong opinion on whether there is a Bigfoot or not. I just don't. There's this thing. I actually referenced it not five minutes ago. The fact that there's all these people who disappear in state parks out west. There's all these really mysterious write-ups of these disappearances but then

like the deeper you dig into those write-ups the more you realize people are just saying bigfoot is like stealing all these people from the state parks and it's like just bigfoot conspiracy theorists okay um i like that they're like it could be murder but it's probably it's probably bigfoot if i had to guess it's alwaysism reasons. We're going with Bigfoot keeps eating people. Right. Or it could have been someone trying to evade some kind of debt they have. Oh, yeah. Or just, you know, we have a serial killer out here because the woods are pretty deep

and it's a good place to do that. I think it's also really easy to get lost in the woods. Well, that's okay. Here's another part of why I believe the Bigfoot thing. I did a bunch of stuff. I'd never lived in the Northwest or even visited there when I started living there, so I did a bunch of research. And one of the cool things I found was between Sacramento and Anchorage,

there's been over 500 small plane crashes. They've just never found the wreckage. Yeah. Just never. When you look at Alaska, like the square mileage of Alaska compared to the other states, it is completely... And then you look at the population. Right.

Yeah. It's three dudes named Steve and Brenda over there. Right. Yeah, exactly. There's a dude's name Steve and Brenda over there. Right. Yeah, exactly. Square mileage of Alaska is 663,000 square miles.

Texas is in second with 268 square miles. Texas is like a giant country if you've ever driven across it. Hell yeah, it is. If you've ever lived there. Right. Well, it's always funny when I love doing the thing where they just put the shape of Texas over Europe, and you're like, okay, this shit is gigantic. I'm glad Texas doesn't know that. Right.

They just take over Europe. Wait. What? Right. We got how many guns? We just take the train from city to city? Yeah, if you just put all of Texas' guns and combined them

into one big gun and placed that over Europe, that would be fucking dope. I think Hitler tried to do that. He did. You know like at some of the guns he built? Yeah, he was like, just bigger. Okay, dude. Before the History Channel became just alien shit. I remember, I think there was... The train gun?

Yeah, and the other ones that were like, the Nazi's super gun that was built into a fucking mountain and shit. Right. When they used to be like, I remember, I think there was, the train gun. Yeah. And there was like, and the other ones that were like the Nazis super gun built into a fucking mountain. He looked into building a giant mirror, like sun mirror to try and like roast his enemies like ants and like really like put his scientists. Hey, meth will do that to you. I was going to say like,

that's the methiest thing. Yeah, exactly. They need to do, but he was, he was fucking flying on meth for his entire career. The best anecdotes, again, I always bring this up, is when Mussolini tried to get out of a talk with him

because he was so high on meth, he was talking to him for three straight hours nonstop. Mussolini couldn't get a word in, and he was like, I need to fucking get the fuck out of here. He's like, look, I'm not a good dude. but what the fuck is this right we're in business with him yeah and then you look at Trump's background with amphetamines and things well if you notice like if you're a good person and you're having to do bad things you're usually an alcoholic right if you're a bad person and you're having to do bad things, you're usually an alcoholic. Right. If you're a bad person and you get to do bad things, you usually want something to keep you up

so you can keep going. Yeah, just keep going and going and going. That's exactly what it is. More of this. Churchill was just the whole time, he was like, oh, Jesus. Oh, fuck. Just got to cope.

Hanging him back. More people go die. Oh, God damn it. And Hitler was like, what if we build a giant mirror? And they're like, hey, what's that? And then we punch them in the dick. What about that? I was like, I don't know if you're...

I said, what if we build a giant... Okay, yep, yep. We'll get right on that. Tornado cannons was another thing he looked into. He had some big ideas. He was fun. He was fun at parties until he wasn't. He had some big ideas. He was fun. Yeah. He was fun at parties until he wasn't.

Right, until he really wasn't. 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. It means the world to Miles. He needs your validation, folks. I hope you're having a great weekend, and I will talk to you Monday. Bye. Thank you.
