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. Chris Crofton! How's it going? Thank you for that great intro. Guaranteed to disappoint after that.

Oh, come on, man. So happy to be here. So happy to be here. Always so good to have you. You're joining us not from bear country. You're joining us from, well, what's Nashville? It's called Music City. Country music? Music City? Music City, yeah.

But it's more like... Country country. It's called Country Music City. But it's more like Country Country. It's like Basic City now. Oh, damn. Why is that? In your face, Nashville. It's just full of paper condominiums and full of whoever buys paper condominiums.

And I'll tell you what, they're not musical. Yeah. They're not the real ones. Not the old Nashville. It's like Williamsburg. It went the way of Williamsburg. It's like, yeah, it's like, I mean, there's still good musicians here. But I mean, in general, there's, I don't know, like just millions and millions of paper condominiums everywhere, full of whoever buys paper condominiums.

And I got to tell you, most of the time i don't want to know those people yeah when you say paper condominiums are they made of paper what i believe so right that's the only reason yes like you know the ones that the ones that go up in 45 minutes and are all ready to go and have the exact floor plan and have the same appliances and everybody's like excited about that for some reason well yeah they're just like these like yuppie prison cells is what they look like it's like i'm a middle class prisoner in my stainless steel kitchen and you know the yes and they're like i don't know like i'm kind of making up that they go up in 45 minutes but they do go up very quickly yeah and they are made of they are all the same and then

all the stuff in it is the kind of stuff that as soon as it gets dirty like you find out like you bought a shitty place like it's like when it's brand new like oh this couch is awesome and then right like starts the threading starts to come out and then the fire pit the fire pit on the roof doesn't work anymore, and the fitness center doesn't have anybody behind the counter. It's only got one dumbbell. Yes, and the foosball table all of a sudden breaks, and nobody fixes it. And then you realize you paid, basically. You're paying rent for a foosball table.

Yeah. Is there a part in Nashville that is, is like gentrified pretty hardcore where like you know 15 years ago you're like uh oh yeah what's that part like what's that part because i feel like echo park in la was one of those places that in initially you know for people growing up it was you know very working class areas where i would go to get my fake IDs and any other nefarious items. And now it's like, oh, we love Echo Park. It's just so fantastic. What's the Nashville equivalent? I would say Germantown.

Germantown was this sort of like, it was really kind of a poor area. And it's still adjacent to very low-income areas. But then they just sort of just redid it. And now it's got, you know, well, paper condos, it's got paper condos and it's got the people that jog around like poor neighborhoods in like really expensive yoga clothes and just pretend that for

some reason with the landscape around them doesn't exist, which I think is really weird. Yeah. Well, yeah, my think is really weird. Yeah. Well, yeah. My outfit is expensive enough. It might affect the other people around me. Yeah.

It's like, I just think it's about tuning it out. It's like, you know, they just say I'm in a magazine. I'm in a magazine. I'm in a magazine while they run, you know,

the point about condos going up quickly in New York. I lived in a long Island city for one year, I think in like 2010 uh and then when my wife and i were visiting new york like a handful of months later we had to go back to our paper condo uh to see if like the there was mail there for us like that's how recently we had been there and like we couldn't find the condo the landscape was so different like the it was just so it was so different it was like when we got there like one year earlier it was like dog parks and warehouses and then like it would it looked like

fucking tribeca when we when we went back to pick up the mail it was wild a lot of insider geographical uh references there yeah yeah nashville's not like a grid so the interesting thing about like in new york i well all i know is that nashville's like gentrified in spots and then not gentrified and then gentrified and everything's sort of on top of each other and that leads to a lot of like wealthy people tuning out their neighbors which is like a really weird experience because my next door neighbors in the house um that well my parents live there now but it's a fucking long boring story uh but me and my brother and sister lived there for eight years together we can do a

whole podcast about that someday but um but that house that house it is it's a tv show that involves a lot of uh uh panic attacks so um uh tv show's called panic attack anyway the uh house next door to mine is like used to be this crazy house full of people who, who, who, you know, who their, their dog's name was front yard. And,

um, and that's true. They'd be like, get in here, front yard. Um, which is pretty bad-ass. Like I will say that maniacs know how to name dogs.

So, uh, so anyway, someone got shot next door. Um, there were twin brothers living there and one shot the other one when they were drunk and then that house you know they moved away um and that house was sitting vacant for a while and then they tore it down and built this giant like like paper condo thing that looks like a cuckoo clock looks like a swiss it looks like a house in switzerland but it's next to you it's and it's huge and it's like bursting out of the property lines like it's

like the most house you could possibly put on the smallest yard ever i mean this was previously a low-income person's yard it's small right and they packed it full of roof decks and fire pits and foosball tables and and it's just bursting and it looks absurd right and their neighborhood around it is still poor based not poor i mean poor is like i don't mean to say poor middle class i don't know like it's not like really poor because what i mean uh i just it has a lot of personality according to the real estate listings yeah i mean it's just a regular street it just a regular street. It's a regular street full of people of various incomes. Then there's this cuckoo clock in the middle of it,

and those people just pretend the rest of the neighborhood don't exist. So you can't even really talk to them because that would blow their whole theater piece they're doing. So you're just like, hello to your neighbor, and they will not acknowledge you because they're like, to acknowledge you would be to admit that you're just like, hello to your neighbor. And they will not acknowledge you because they're like, to acknowledge you would be admit that you're a fake millionaire because you came to a neighborhood. And just this is the only place you can build that monstrosity. Go build it in the neighborhood where it's supposed to be with all the other rich people or else build a normal house.

Dick. Boom. What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are okay so a google search was sex for science sex for science yeah you know okay so like there's you can have sex for research oh wow right yeah yeah and i was just curious and i mean i think I was writing a joke and like it started out with another search, like things that are hard to do while you're horny. And then I just, you know, went down a hole and I was like, oh, you can you can have sex.

That's like that's kind of hot. Yeah. Wait. So what what are the normal like sex for science things like you fill out a questionnaire or like hooking you up to some like brainwave readers and shit and then like, you know, popping them off? I don't know. It's just the idea that someone's watching. Yeah. With a clipboard and taking diligent notes.

That's actually a really great role play idea. Oh, yeah. You need to get a third person involved. Or I guess not. You could just be going on your own. My fantasy is to be a scientist cuck. I watch my wife get banged, but I have a clipboard, and I'm like, hmm, okay. And I'm just like peeing myself in the corner.

The other person's like, this is kind of weird. I'm like, please keep going. The experiment is not over. Yeah, that's the more dignified way to. Nobody's watching me, but it's for biology. Wow. Yeah, I do wonder, like, because Kinsey was real, you know, had a lot of studies going, had his lab assistants in there, all sorts of wild shit. Is there a modern day Kinsey who's studying the sexual spectrum and all that good stuff?

You know, I didn't get as deep as I wanted in the research. Ben Shapiro. Yeah. So just a little bit. Just something you were searching. Yeah. Just the tip of the iceberg. But I mean i'd be interested to know so like as i find out more i can keep you posted yeah yeah like are they anyone knows about it let us know yeah what do you do like do you get

a free mattress what like you know what i'm yeah i'm also interested like how do you can you can you eat off of fucking for science for fucking research? Right. Yeah. And then is it also like, do you have to be eight hours? Yeah. And is it like, do you have to be a couple like a specific like physio like physiological traits? Can you just be like a traveling couple that like has sex for research?

You just hop from lab to lab. Right. This is all this is all a very interesting film that i would watch in joe biden's america though you'll be able to have you'll be able to make a living off of this scientists yeah those scientists he's gonna listen to they're gonna pay people to have six yeah i look forward to this bright future yeah yeah right i'm like cool uh what is something that you guys think is underrated mookie bets mookie bets that dude is underpaid at 350 million or whatever he is fucking the greatest baseball player of all time he's so good i love we're all freaking out but we should be

freaking out more we should be like running out our doors and down the street he's so good yeah yeah so game one he had two steals in a single inning uh the dodgers had three steals in a single inning which was the most since 1912 damn really world series uh which is that catch i guess it was game seven of the last series where he basically flew yeah right i was like he's flying that's yeah yeah not no human can do that and also just like one of the all-time great names i think good bet yeah i know he could he would he would either be like a jazz drummer or a baseball player yeah yeah yeah i mean how come mookie blaylock didn't get his you know roses when he was playing in the nba oh yeah that's right it's mookie blaylock was a name that i think i invented before he made it into the nba because when i was like

when i was a kid i used to like pretend to be like the local basketball like local college basketball team and like that there would be this amazing recruit that came in named Mookie Blaylock, and then he became, I found out he was a real basketball player. Also, that name is so amazing that that was Pearl Jam's name before they were Pearl Jam, was Mookie Blaylock. Really? Yeah. And they were like, that's kind of weird.

Isn't that why the Mookie Blaylock atcb is also he he was like a mookie blaylock or he's blake lock right it's so funny how there's a similar yeah mookie blake lock yeah he's the improviser mookie blaylock the fucking nba player it's i asked mookie he's like where'd you get your is mookie like your parents give you that he's like no i don't people just started calling me that like he really didn't have a memory of like why. His name's Chester actually. Is like, is there some wizard going around blessing the Mookies of the world?

Like without them knowing. And they're like, I call you Mookie. You are now a Mookie. Or it's like the result of some amnesia episode. You just wake up. I'm switching to Mookie Sanders for ball talk. Really? Mookie yeah or it's like the result of some amnesia episode you just wake up switching I mean I'm now Mookie Sanders like everybody I think it's too late for me but I definitely I definitely wish I had gone Mookie earlier I didn't know that was the thing you could do just become like yeah Mookie Blakelock sounds like a name that was the thing you could do just become like yeah mookie blakelock sounds like a

name that was made up on the spot more than it sounds like a name that i would have made up on the spot if somebody was like hey what's your name right yeah or yeah or you're doing an improv scene and you have to name your improv partner and they come in what's up mookie it's crazy because mookie the improviser is like one of the funniest improvisers oh yeah so funny I mean I don't know

almost nobody's cracked me up on stage as much as him yeah yeah so you're just if you're named Mookie you're inherently talented well he does like at the end of every

end of every scene he goes that's it from Mookie and everybody goes crazy because he just says his name and he like that's always then he leaves the show he doesn't do any more scenes mookie oh man how much do you miss do you guys miss doing improv are you guys improvisers i'm not i i did back in the day when i was trying

when i thought that's how i was going to get on the office and i gave all my money to ucb in 2011 yeah and then i was like, wait, they're making me do level four a bunch of times. What do you get on The Office? Yeah, I know that. I feel like that was, you know, like for a lot of people that seeing that sort of pipeline, because first like the Groundlings was

like the pipeline to a lot, like everyone was hiring a lot of Groundlings people and then UCB people were coming out of UCB were getting a lot of work too. And that was sort of my like 10,000 foot view from like doing improv in college with Groundlings being like when I got back into it when I left politics I was like nah it's UCB man

this is where I'm going back in our day it was Conan that you were trying to get on oh really right right like as a writer as the masturbating oh as a writer would be like the ultimate but that was yeah just to be a bit character in the crowdating bear. As a writer would be the ultimate. Just to be a bit character. Everybody did bits and then you would

eventually get in good with them and you'd say to one of the writers, can I submit a packet? You get somebody to usher you in a little bit. You guys are both famed improvisers. Do you guys miss it quite a bit

so much it's like totally one of the things when I would do it regularly and then I wouldn't do it I was like oh I feel crazy when I don't do this stuff my wife was just saying

I hope improv theaters open because I'm tired of your bits around the apartment I'm like performing for an around the apartment. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like performing for an audience of one all the time. I know. I know. Who also has to be in the scene with you.

Yes. Right, right, right. Carry the weight. And you're like, hey, is it cool if I just spill a bunch of beer in the kitchen? I need it to smell like backstage at Franklin. Yeah, that's right. We'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life.

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? I 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. On the 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.

Pew, pew, pew! Pew! Hi. Welcome. the brilliant the talented sapphire sandalo hi welcome happy to be here yeah yeah you have the coolest studio of anyone we've ever talked to oh my goodness thank you so much i spent a lot of money on it where are you coming to us from? I live in Echo Park. Hell yeah. East side of LA. Is that a chair behind you? Do you have like a really high back chair? Oh no.

Does that sound creepy? Yeah. Oh, dope. I thought that was like a throne. I was like, what was it? Oh, that was so tight. Yeah, no. What kind of gamer chair are you working with? What kind of gamer chair?

I know gamer chairs are real, but every time someone says it out loud I'm like that's fake that yeah please that can't be real my husband has one he hates it he was a gamer yeah it was gifted to him so got a gamer I mean he plays games I don't like what makes someone a gamer as opposed to just a person who plays games? That's a good question. There has to be some. I guess it would just be when you're willing to buy the chair for yourself. Definitive. But a gift, that's a gray area.

Right. That's true. Unless you're such a gamer that people are like, look, he's not going to buy it for himself. We got to do him this favor. I can't game like this anymore, man. I hate to see you gaming like this, my man. Your back is all hunched over because you're not gaming in the proper chair, dude. I don't know.

I don't know what gamer chairs do. Do they make your posture better? Probably not. I mean, they're supposed to be make it more comfortable for you to game for long periods of time but i mean you shouldn't be doing that anyway so right hey says you says you what do i know what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are well i would say uh um i'm kind of running out of crazy things to watch this pandemic on so long i don't know what to i mean i've watched every dumb thing you could possibly

watch but i've been watching a lot of abandoned just generally like abandoned house videos abandoned like factories and abandoned mental hospitals and stuff. But here's something. It's kind of just an observation about it. I've watched enough of them now that I realize I've seen an episode where a guy showed up and a vlogger. They call them vloggers. Yeah. Vloggers.

Yep. Those bloggers with the video now, huh? It really rolls up on vloggers. Those bloggers with the video now, huh? It really rolls off on bloggers. They're a little lazy. Who cares? They showed up to an abandoned house

and there was already another bunch of bloggers in it. Like they were shooting at the same time they have like the wackest west side story showdown of all time where they like turf war they kept saying i was like spooky you know it wasn't spooky because there's someone another person with a camera there you know so that to go into each room they had to wait for the other vlogger to leave the room so it'd be spooky again they were like what was that and it was actually some other vlogger saying what was that was the sound that they heard yeah yes like an echo doll in the house and so everybody when they see a doll in a house that's a man it's a fucking doll yeah they're like it's not a creepy. And it's maybe a nice normal doll.

They still go, oh, my God, that doll's creepy. So it's like an echo. Okay, listen. Walking through it like one vlogger you can hear going into the room and going, that doll's creepy. And then the next vlogger goes in. The vlogger industrial complex. Yeah. And it becomes like plant that doll.

Does the vlogger bring a doll with them? So have a doll. Oh, yeah. It's a planted doll. You see them. You see it all the time. These vloggers planting dolls at the scene of the crime. All these.

That doll is building seven. Exactly. Hold on. Listen, man. You can hear. Oh, shut up. Shut the fuck up. I think the doll is talking.

Listen. It said like and subscribe, didn't it? Did you hear that? Yeah. So I've heard a lot of that. And then the other thing I was noticing is that people are desperate. Like content creators, you know, it's like it's an endless operation. And there's only so many abandoned houses in the world.

Yeah. I mean, a lot of them, like, you know, if it's just nothing in there like then it's pretty boring but the good ones that still have the stuff in them which are also super really sad because it just means whoever was living there died and like didn't have any close relatives so they're all their stuff still in it and then people look is i wonder what happened to this person all their heart medications all over the place and they still they you know there's blood all over the place. And they... There's blood all over the toilet. Yeah, the macaroni. These people lived like crazy.

They didn't live crazy. They were old people. So, anyway... I feel like sometimes people are breaking into people's houses when they're not at home. They call it... Now that's the next wave is cat cat burglar content seriously and they're gonna do they're

gonna need to do it they're gonna be like go and they're just gonna end up breaking in and being like look there's a man still in the bed that's like yeah that's like i remember when we were talking about the the guy who was caught camping on that like abandoned tropical island and in disney world in orlando yeah and then that got me like watching a string of just like these kids who just get off on like just trespassing in orlando like at universal or disney world or wherever and like they're so slick they'll literally just like jump fences time it out slip in through a door walk through a concourse and end up in like some discontinued part of epcot and then like when they get caught they'll be like excuse me um what are you doing here and it's like oh i'm sorry i was looking for the bathroom and they're like well you shouldn't be here at all and he's like oh i'm sorry i'm saying like they walk them out and

they're like oh shit that was so close uh that's like the my like high stakes content now i'm like oh little kid you're gonna get in trouble right and then they're like yeah and then the people are like i wonder if that was like you know like i just think they're gonna start being like oh it's a ghost security guard like no i'm a real fucking security guard oh no that's like you know like uh i just i just feel like there's a there's a point where they're gonna they're gonna break into someone's house and they're gonna be in there and the person's gonna be like they're like there's a ghost you know in here and the guys can be like no i live here it's my house my house just needs to be painted you asshole get out of here yeah you know how much it costs

to re-roof a house there have been a couple videos where there have been people saying like i'm not sure it's abandoned and i'm anyway'm, anyway, that's what I've been up to. I've been watching, like, these abandoned. And also, just the question, is the place abandoned if it has 20 vloggers in it? Right. True. Is a mental hospital abandoned if there's 20 vloggers in it? Right.

That's, like, in L.A. in it right that's like in la there's like two like abandoned hospitals that like everyone shoots in like to do like gorilla style creepy shoots or photo shoots and at a certain point you're like it completely isn't weird anymore because it's got like a bunch of leftover modern trash and you're like this just looks like some fucked up building people are just like oh shit look at that dorito wrapper i feel like that's the old kind of doritos that they used to have before when it was clear when it was see-through in the front window right yeah like a year ago yeah when they did the retro bags oh shit that's so creepy i remember that shot from gray's anatomy when gray's anatomy shot here in season two oh my god let me pose here yo is that a surge is that a 20 ounce bottle

of surge unopened there's a lot of that a lot of like i think that's old that happens i mean that's most of those i think that's old yeah i think that's old or maybe it's not they always say like there's three things they say they say i think that's old or maybe it's not but i think it is right and then it's yeah not again it's all kind of the same genre like that bigfoot hunting and ghosts like where you kind of got to pretend like it could be but also you got to be kind of real and be like but it also could not be but i don't want to ruin the whole illusion so i'm going to pretend hey maybe it could be yeah those videos though mostly waffling. Yeah. Right.

Yeah, because it's all about the mystery. So by not knowing, that's part of the fun. Yeah, I love old shit, too. So it happens to me all the time. I'm always like, I think that's old. But then maybe it's not. But I think it is. But maybe it's not.

That's all day for me. Yeah, it's all day bro finally what is a myth what's something people think is true you know well this is crazy because i wrote this down before i knew what we were going to talk about today i have two again but one of them i couldn't debunk and that is that i think my nails are growing faster now um wait why what's going on i don't know. I don't remember having to trim them this often. But maybe it's because I

used to be able to go outside. Do you think it's a time marker? I think they're growing. I'm having to trim them, I feel like, multiple times a week. Hmm. That's too many, yeah. And I tried to look it up and there's mixed results

so i couldn't debunk it like meg and family guy when that was her power or just her legs got her her nails just got super long for a second it's just every time because i play guitar and you notice quick when that and even because we all type so much you notice on your keyboard when they're longer because you're like am i worse at typing all of a sudden right a lot of weird fret buzz here yeah so i don't know that was the first i couldn't debunk that maybe if i know that there's definitely people smarter than me that listen to this because uh that's everyone and so let me know if your grow faster as you get older the internet has mixed results i have a feeling i've had a similar

thought i'm like damn my nails got fucking long. I think it's because it's like one of the few things is helping me keep track of time is my fingernail length. Like I've lost every other marker. Like, you know, pumpkin spice latte season happened five days early. The NBA finals just ended. You know, there's a, I don't know what's going on. 2 p.m. on a Monday for their Thursday night game. Yeah. It's like, I don't know what's going on. The Chiefs play at 2 p.m. on a Monday for their Thursday night game. Yeah. It's like, I don't know.

So I've, like, those normal things, like, the only, that and my allergies are the only thing that have been consistent. And I think because I've lost those other things, I forget, like, how much linear time has passed. I'm like, you know, I feel like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill when she come out of the coma and she's, like, looking at her hands. She's like, four years or whatever that line is but yeah that's interesting because like when when you i i just remember when i used to uh park in the same parking lot every day like at a certain point it just they all started blending together because like i just couldn't distinguish that morning from every other morning that looked and felt exactly the same and i just wonder if like a similar thing where we're just like kind of um you know our brain is actually far more uh nerves going from our brain to our eyes than

vice versa like our brain fills in a lot of the stuff that it already knows is there and your eyes are only taking in a very small portion of it and i think that's just generally true with our world like we when they're whenever there's something that our brain is like okay this is going to be the same every time it just like starts filling that in and memory holing it so yeah it's like cookies on the internet yeah exactly your brain is cooking the world around you because we're in a very routine it is like that uh when you see those paragraphs where every word is misspelled except but the first and last and then but you can read them properly right it's doing all the the fill-in work for you where you just understand

how everything's supposed to be exactly come on, brain. You got to get better and work harder. If there's anything I can tell my brain. The other thing I wrote down to debunk is, and like I said, I didn't know what we were going to talk about today. You'll be okay if you delete Facebook. You're not going to lose connections with your friends. You're not going to miss.

It's okay. You can keep in touch with people without it now i know that a lot of people hang on because they're like this is how i keep in touch with what my like cousins or i i deleted it i just i've been forced i just text people sometimes and say what's up hope all as well like that's like high school friends or things like that you can kind of just put in a little bit different work and it's not like replacing hey we're all having a dialogue about a a funny photo or something but yeah it's okay it's always like oh shit are the star quarterback of my high school is like just a racist troll now oh my god i do think people hang on to it just like i think it's

the concussions because you. You remember back then? There were no protocols. And I remember his helmet was a lot lighter than everyone else because he was more of a kind of scrambling quarterback. And I remember that one game against Bishop Amat. It was pretty fucked up. And then he still got back in. I don't know. Maybe that's what it is.

I'm like, maybe he's just racist. I don't know. Maybe he's just been racist the whole time. Maybe he said he wanted a lighter helmet because white people's brains were bigger and you need to look it up. Maybe that was the sign he was racist and not the getting hit by the football. I just think I have lost nothing. I have missed out on nothing because I deleted it. I don't know. I have a Facebook fan page that I don't know how to maintain without having Facebook.

But I don't really know what to do. I know that some people hang on because they're like, well, yeah, because it is a really at its inception. It was a really good way to rate women on their hotness. And then the second thing it was good at was you could keep in it kind of you don't need a high school reunion anymore right and it's like well i don't think we're meant to be this in touch with this many people and have no intimate relationships with any friends anymore like it's i don't i'm not supposed to have a one percent tab with a thousand people to have the most annoying thing that those thousand people do every day just bubble up to the top of your consciousness to make so if you're thinking about it here's here's what i can say if

you're listening and you're like well i don't i don't like what it's doing log out and delete the apps for a little bit and see how often you just open a browser and type fab or ever it's really it makes you feel crazy when i logged out and deleted the thing i would just open chrome and type fac and then i'm like oh no like my muscle and then you'll slowly stop doing that and you'll slowly get better it feels like i'm like getting rid of like a sugar addiction or something yeah yeah i think to your point though by texting somebody i mean like just being on facebook i think people massively like overrate or underrate how passive it actually is. You may think, well, how do I keep up? It's like, but are you interacting? You might just be scrolling, but oh, that's what they're doing. Oh, that's what they're doing. But you're not connecting.

And I think even to your point, by even texting someone, like, hey, what's up? You good? Yeah. It starts to feel like a zoo after a little bit. Do you know what I mean? Where it's like a one-way connection we all have with each other. Yeah. I hated who I was going in and being... My muscle memory is to go to these things. Where did I get to where this is a thing I check off

a hundred times a day? Zuckerberg, bro. They had it all planned out. You can do without it. I know people who say and i i i who you know i need it for this i need it for this i use it for this you don't you can figure it out i'm now zoom bombing for my personal interaction uh on a daily basis just going into like random numbers yeah random login numbers family reunions, corporate meetings,

AA meetings. What you do is you just crawl, you just look on Google and you just search for people who are publicly posting Zoom meeting IDs and I just go in, video off, and I just like to be a fly on the wall. I had a Zoom stand-up show get bombed by, and this is what I miss live stand-up so much because at least hecklers had to have gumption when it was face-to-face. Now they bomb a Zoom meeting, and these kids are so not good at being racist.

They're so – they pulled up – they took the – they bombed the meeting. They stole the screen share, and they went to the KKK's Wikipedia page. And I'm like, what are you doing? Why are you – the page says they're bad like i don't know what you're trying to get across that'll show them right what a lazy racist at least if you were heckling me in person you had to call me a slur while i looked at you do you know what i mean right right there's a little more yeah there's risk involved come on back in my day come on 12 year olds yeah they just all Zoom bombed it, and they Googled penis.

Do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. You see the picture up there, and you're like, buddy, I got one. These are medical diagrams. You're so bad. This actually sounds like you were Zoom bombed by a 55-year-old dad or mom or something. Right. Don't know how to internet.

This being Monday, is the Amy Coney Barrett thing over? internet this being monday is the amy coney barrett thing like over or did she my understanding is that it was three days three fits in and out and i right is that yeah like wasn't there a thing where like kavanaugh did the same thing like he had three days but then we found out that he was a serial sexual abuser and And so then like, and then they were like, we got to get back in there. I don't really, I don't really know.

It's going to overtime. As, as I was watching, honestly, half watching the Amy Coney Barrett, like sessions, I guess I was like, Oh,

I guess I have never really paid close attention to like a fairly uneventful Supreme court. Uh, because I just was like, the only one I'd really ever paid attention to was like the high drama, high trauma of the Kavanaugh hearing. So I'm like, maybe this is how it goes.

I have no idea. Yeah. I feel like, I don't know. The, the thing that it made me realize just watching it is like how full of shit the whole Supreme Court thing is. Because by the time an argument gets to the, or a law gets to the Supreme Court, there are going to be multiple interpretations that you could conceivably be like sided with like they're equally valid and every time a case comes before them it has two arguments that are going to

be equally persuasive and correct and you just choose the one you want to go with based on your pre-existing politics and the fact that like she kept getting out of it and that there's even this like pretense that she that that any supreme court justice like has no pre-existing beliefs and is just like this uh lawyer philosopher priest that is just like i will then like descend upon the bench and give the one true answer is just so full of shit and it seems almost outdated that we still like even give lip service to it yeah i mean she was very uh well i mean i guess what supreme court justices are allegedly supposed to be doing but it's so clearly untrue like for every justice of like well i'm gonna read the constitution and whatever the constitution says to do

and that's what i'll do and what i think the constitution i'll whisper to the constitution and what it whispered back that's what i'm gonna vote on yeah and, I'll whisper to the constitution and what it whispered back. That's what I'm going to vote on. Yeah. And like, I only listened to the constitution, which is like, whatever, putting aside all the issues with the constitution is also like,

not true. The constitution is misinterpreted for like partisan reasons every day, all the time. Yeah. I did. I found it. My least favorite part was when ted cruz was getting all flirty oh my god i hated extra he was like so what are your hobbies i was like what is this i mean she's like play the piano they were on the fucking bumble date yeah they were just like

i played the piano he's like oh my gosh so you're married you got kids like we can work around that i'm like what the fuck sick man a sick man like there's not some new piece of evidence or like a new footnote in the constitution she's going to notice and be like well i'll be damned a woman does have a right to choose what to do with her body. Like, that's just not going to, I don't know. The whole thing just seems like a farce to me. Hot take. This politics stuff is a farce.

It's a real circus. Yeah, no, I'm going to say it, Jamie. Someone put a 10 on this circus. I don't know. I was honestly in and out on it because I'm engaging with the news at this point where I'm like, if I truly can do absolutely nothing and my opinion will not alter what is happening in front of me, I've just been engaging with it slightly less. Yeah.

Because then you're just like, well, this is depressing. I'm just like watching someone who, if things work out, will just definitely try to take reproductive rights from people, will definitely try to take health care from people. And then what? I'm supposed to just drop everything on a Tuesday morning and watch? No, thank you. All right,

guys, let's take one more break and 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. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that?

Listen to Señora Sex Ed on the iHeartRadio appheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast and we're back and i want to talk to you guys about phil collins personally uh professionally on this show we typically don't cover much celebrity gossip or public divorces uh or phil collins phil collins we rarely cover uh well we're more peter gabriel fans here right yeah i mean we do have the gabriel block uh that we usually do every friday but um he would actually be a good good guest for a ball talk charlie just just a side note guys if we could just like uh

yeah i don't know where he'll be after this situation but maybe he would yeah yeah if he's available yeah i think he is um it's it's one of those stories that um even in 2020 it's like god i wish i had more bandwidth to devote to uh to just following this story as it develops simpler times this would be a glorious story oh my god um so a headline from vanity fair phil collins is now suing his ex-wife over quote an armed occupation and takeover of his mansion. Is that real? That's real. So if you haven't been up to date on Phil Collins' romantic history,

he married Oriane Seve back in 94 when she was 21. He was 44. There you go. There you go. No problems there. I can't imagine how that would go wrong. I can feel it coming in the air. Is that Phil Collins? you go nice no problems there is that phil collins yeah yeah oh yeah that's pretty good perfect nailed it uh they got married

in 99 they divorced in 2006 but then they got back together in 2016 and then in 2020 uh yeah when she when she had grown up a little more uh in 2020 she went to las vegas and married a younger man and informed phil of this in the form of a text message which is harsh yes yeah maybe karma at work since collins uh was famously marry a man younger than her because that would be disgusting yes 15 years her junior so he was 15 how old was he uh well no that was so she's now i think in her 40s right okay because she was so she was 21 in 1994 so uh she's like 43 marrying a guy uh in his 20s in uh vegas let's phil know via text uh phil was famously rumored to have broken up with his second wife via fax machine uh so there's a couple ways that karma may be uh like rearing its ugly head here. And is it handwritten too? Oi, divorce, yeah?

Layers, Phil. Oi, divorce, yeah. Phil. Layers. I don't know much about the... Again, this has always been a blind spot, Miles. We've talked about this when we were thinking about doing a news podcast was I am notoriously blind to phil collins's romantic history uh and so yeah it's just i i

haven't done the work you know but what if this what if this class is in college what if this armed takeover all right so now uh his ex-wife uh civvy is living in phil collins's florida mansion with her new husband uh and phil collins is trying to get rid of them so it sounds like kind of a straightforward like squatter scenario where like someone's trying to kick somebody out of their house but that's easier said than done because according to Collins, Savi and her husband have implemented a bold plan to seize control of the house using heavily armed guards. So she has hired a team of armed security guards who now patrol his house. It should be noted all the security team are 15 years younger than her husband.

Yes. Just a bunch of children. They are children. That is important to keep in mind. A bunch of Zoomers on Razor scooters. She also had the alarm system changed so that Phil Collins didn't know the code. And there's a detail in the suit that is pretty incredible. and there's a detail in the suit that is pretty incredible.

So she contacted the company that provides the alarm service to the property, told the owner to come to the property, and then her husband and one of the armed guards basically forced him, coerced him, to lock Phil Collins out of the home. And they're like, you can see the details of this coercion uh attached in exhibit 10 so it's yeah like they're she had a guard with a gun on their hip change the code so phil wouldn't know that's not intimidating excuse me sir please go with this armed guard named Frank. I love how in the affidavit, it's like by a quote unquote guard named Frank, but it's

F-R-A-N-C-K. So fancy. Oh, Frank. He's German. Yeah. I mean. I will change the codes. Speaking of German, it does feel like there are definitely like some

diehard vibes going here where they've like taken over oh yeah this is like war of the roses turns into diehard it's insane taping over the security camera lenses too yeah they've taped over the security lenses it's so wild uh i feel like i feel like it was just like one night they got drunk. Let's just stay here. You know, it started like good whimsical fun and it just got out of hand. And now they're like, now they're dug in. Yeah, like her new husband's like, babe, where are we going to go? I thought you had money.

She's like, oh, fuck off. I lied to this guy. Hopefully Frank is working i'll get my ecstasy dealer to come with his gun and he'll uh he'll make the alarm company people change it at gunpoint the only thing phil collins has been doing is just like faxing like crazy not realizing they don't have a fax machine so she's like get out get out just didn't drop her in back please there's a fax machine with just like a three-foot pile of paper at the bottom in his like media closet that also has like a cassette a cassette player and like a cd uh all right well i feel a little bad for him but not really it just yeah people create what it insane is it just like

they're because i have a messy divorce like what is the what are the demands of these the the people who uh set off this coup d'etat yeah so they're she's threatening to release damaging allegations which he claims are false uh if he doesn't basically just let them stay and pay up uh yeah so are there kids involved i really need to know as a parent are there kids is lily's mom i don't know i don't think so i don't think so i think that lily's mom might have been the one who they did have two they had two kids together oh they did yeah yeah um so i'll answer my own question yes brian there are kids involved really you oh my god that's so troubling well right yeah i mean a strong parental uh force is important what how do you even go to therapy for that when you're like in your 30s when you're

like so what was your childhood like and you're like well funny you ask you remember the phil collins armed guard takeover there is that r of passage that every kid goes through where your mom takes armed control of the house and you're just looking at your parents like, what's going on? Right. And that's when I knew I wasn't going to get married ever. Right. Not if that's how it ends. Yeah. Well, let's keep them in our prayers, guys.

Yeah. Seriously. Really, really. And hopefully have them on Bald Talk so he can work through some of this. Yeah. Oh, my God. I think that's the venue. If we could get Phil Collins to come on Ball Talk and cry about this.

I just want him to cry. Oh, my God. Dude, that's amazing. Can you imagine? And you guys are just trying to shoot this shit with him, and he's a bummer guest. I was locked out of my house. And we just drop in an audio

underneath it the damnedest thing is i never felt it coming in the air that night 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 like the show. 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. so Hi, I am Lacey Lamar. And I'm also Lacey Lamar. Just kidding. I'm Amber Reffin.
