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. Yeah.

So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. What is something you think is underrated? Okay. Something that has come to my attention as underrated is a sheer magnitude of sunglasses i mean the amount of men that i have been forced to swipe left on because of sunglasses is fucking crazy upsetting like just let me love you you know um just kidding because they are wearing sunglasses and you're just like enough no they're just like brutal choices like a lot of wraparound bass pro shop sunglasses and you're just like enough no they're just like brutal choices like a lot of wraparound bass pro shop sunglasses and or things like that and it's like honey just let some women

give you a classic shape you know um but like yeah i can't i just sometimes when i see a sunglasses can tell you so much about a person and And like, I'm like, oh, man, this man could have a really good heart. But I cannot fuck this person with sunglasses. You know, those fucking Oakley's, honey. Get those off. Get those in the trash. Yeah. There's no part of you that just wants to save Oakley wearing loser.

Like, be like, no, I'm too old for saving done a lot of that um but yeah i do have an avoidant attachment style a few of my friends have brought to my attention that you know sunglasses can be changed what would you prefer like yeah what's a good what's a sunglass you will accept that you will right swipe for those who are seeking your approval. I mean, I think a Persol is like a hot sunglasses on a guy or like a classic Ray-Ban, a black Ray-Ban. I like

a classic frame. You don't feel like a Wayfair is kind of like the manila envelope of sunglasses? Not like a red Wayfair. Not like a colored Wayfair? Not once you got a sort of event for a bunch of pharmaceutical companies. I'm talking like a Pierce Brosnan or JFK Jr. sunglass frame. Or like, what is that?

The Clubmaster? What's that other one? I'm not sure. The Clubmaster that has the more malcolm xy kind of frames have like the black uh sort of frame on top with the the metallic rim on the bottom oh yeah that's hot for sure okay there you go definitely yeah i like that is it because wayfarer is the only sunglasses that i've ever really fucked with and miles's response to you saying black wayfarers just made me so self-conscious no i like black wayfarers i think they're hot like the original ones not to say that they're you know i

just feel like they're so pervasive it's like definitely the lowest risk but also because it's so pervasive it's hard to even glean who the person could be when they're wearing a wayfarer ray-ban you know i mean i'm not trying to see in someone's soul from their sunglasses i'm just saying don't eliminate yourself off the bat with like some of these choices where i'm like i can't tell what where you've been with your life right there's a very specific aesthetic yeah that that oakley sunglasses is violence i feel yeah and i'm trying to open myself up to love and a lot of these men aren't letting me do it with those yeah they're pushing you away with the optical choices yeah well uh before we get into any of

this shit brandy you want to do a search history overrated, underrated? Totally optional. No, no, we'll get through it, baby. Why not? Internet search. So yesterday I got into a little bit of a tiff on Twitter with somebody that said, oh, it's that time every four years

and we have to remember that Maryland is a state. And I'm from Maryland. Go fuck yourself. So I was Googling famous Marylanders. We got amazing people. We got fucking Baltimore. Jada Pinkett Smith is from Maryland. Thank you very much. Don't fuck

with us. I didn't know the authentic Marylander way of pronouncing Jada. I thought it was Jada. I didn't know it was Jada. Jada, pal. Jada, pal. That's how we do it. Where are you from in Maryland? Like Severn Park, Glen Burnie. It's just south of Baltimore.

Okay. All right. Yeah, I'm from there. I love it. It's like a deeply blue state always. People always think that it's Maine. It just pisses me off. It's so frustrating. We're an original 13. Like, fucking learn some shit.

Exactly. You don't know about Natty Bo? Exactly. Utz Potato Chips, baby. Burger Cookies. It's great. Wait, what's Burger Cookies? Burger Cookies.

It's actually the best cookie in the fucking world, but they're made in a factory in Baltimore. They're like a soft wafer with a giant chunk of fudge on top of them. And it's a perfect cookie, especially considering what happened last night. If I had some here, I would drive them to you and drop them off from a safe distance.

Fuck, I'll just drive to Maryland right now and get those shits. Yeah, be beautiful. But yeah, that was my internet search and my overrated, underrated, overrated CNN, obviously. Underrated pbs though i love some ugly news yeah i want my news from some ladies with crow's feet with a weird i just

i gotta just see the reaction on your face that's what i want i don't want your fancy green screen shit i just want to see like a discoloration a a lazy eye. That's who I trust to tell me what's happening in democracy. Yeah. People who aren't camera ready. Just people who are ready to report facts. Yeah, exactly. I don't want these people. I don't need your fucking Anderson Cooper, Adrena Chrome bullshit.

QAnon is not true about anybody except Anderson Cooper and Chris Cuomo. I just want some ugly ass newscasters. Yeah, no, his face. That's what I'm talking about. I can't read an emotion on his face. It's just stuck in like worried. He's got that look of like somebody who was just betrayed by his older brother, which is who he is.

They got the good pharmaceuticals first of all because they're not looking sufficiently tired from this shit I'm sure it's they're passing around the Adderall or whatever but Chris Cuomo just coming through with the look guys the thing that we've learned tonight

is this country is more divided than ever and we've got to come together I was just like, are you fucking sitting me? Meanwhile, PBS News this morning, they're wearing the same clothes as last night. They didn't even put a wardrobe changes.

It's a scrappy network. Sesame Street's there, or used to be there. Come on. Yeah, they gave us Sesame Street. Did you see that tweet where someone was like, it looks like there's a Lauren Lapkus character bit like someone doing a Lauren Lapkus

character bit on PBS yeah that woman looked like Lauren it's the lady with all the neck oh man yeah

there's also there's also a Rachel Maddow of like B-side copy she's great she's got like the short hair and the glasses

okay you can see her crow's feet and bags under her eyes. She's fucking beautiful. Real humans. Absolutely. Humans are the best. Yeah. I don't know. The whole thing, I just feel like we have once again seen that the

entire mainstream media, corporate media apparatus is completely poisonous and misguided and very difficult to overcome. Just completely consuming of the conversation that's happening around these elections. And yeah, fuck CNN, but shout out to PBS

what is something you think is underrated underrated this one always is hard for me open racism yeah like it's kind of crushing it like yeah like you can sort of

get away with it now and sort of I think you can totally get it. Like somehow we're missing that open racism actually wins elections, is incredibly effective and mobilizes a bunch of people. I think there was GOP. Understand it. I'm just like never ceases to amaze me. Obviously, I'm being facetious. We shouldn't get into open racism

but holy shit how it's worked wonders yeah yeah and i think it's underrated how how powerful it is in in the united states for sure yeah more than like the mismanagement of like candidates or you know a direction of a of a election or campaign, like the pain that caused, I think just that confirmation of just how, you know, pro white supremacy, a lot of people are, whether they fully understand the nuances of their support of Trump or not, but just to see like on a binary, like, yeah, I like that better. That was probably like the hardest thing to just like sort of re be confronted with again but like i was saying i think yesterday too i don't know in a way like sort of helped validate my sort of cynicism about the america

about the country too without being like i'm just like a doom and gloom america hater more than like no no this is where this is where we're at y'all like this is this is what it is yeah and i think the ways that um michael harriet The Root had a good tweet thread. This is not my the tweet I like, but just explaining the ways that, yeah, if he grew in percentage points, Trump grew in percentage points with black voters and Latino voters. It's because racism you can be racist and be any race. You can be racist and be any race. And everyone pretty much lives in a system of white supremacy. And we are racist, whether we know it consciously or unconsciously. And it's always been a meal ticket for model minorities or people who want to throw their communities under the bus to supposedly get ahead economically and socially. And he tracks like Italians and Irish and how like Italians were some of the

most racist because they were the the on the receiving end of so much racism themselves. They then turned around and were like, well, we're going to distinguish ourselves from black Americans by being extra racist. So it's like it's worked in the past. And so it doesn't doesn't boggle my mind to see Latino and especially white Latino voters going for Trump. I mean, have you if you've seen the like Sammy Sosa pictures of like him with the extra like kind of terrifying skin whitener shit. Oh god, dude. He looks great. It's just like extra powerful white supremacy

and yeah, internalized white supremacy. Yeah, and I think that speaks to a survival mechanism, which is like, I just maybe need to cozy up to my oppressors to have a less turbulent time uh and sometimes people really feel that that is the easier path uh for i guess perceived comfort or because not liberation um while they're definitely a group of people

like no that's not that ain't liberation that ain't it um cozying up to my oppressor is not liberation right let's talk about that so there's the possibility of the red mirage that people have been talking about um which is this idea that there will be uh you know democrats voted early in a lot of places but their votes are going to take a while to tabulate but the people who are voting in person are more likely to be more Republican. So in a state like Pennsylvania, where they're counting those votes first, it's going to seem like Trump won big on election night slash tonight. Oh boy, try not to hyperventilate. Yeah. So that's just one thing. I mean, that is something people are warning about. It's also something that happened during the 2018 midterms. I remember we came on even the next morning.

We were like, yeah, apparently it wasn't the blue wave everybody thought it was going to be. It was just a kind of moderate victory for Democrats. But then as the votes kept coming in and recounts happened then it ended up being a blue wave over the course of a week that was a wave um but so on the sunday shows over the weekend trump's campaign manager basically said uh that if trump has an early lead in a state and then as the votes are counted it starts to go away he defined that as the biden administration trying or biden trying to steal the election uh that he defined counting the votes as stealing the election so we already know what their plan is it's going to be basically

try to freeze the election at any point, freeze the counting of votes at any point where they have a lead. Trump said the high court's pre-election refusal to rule out the extension of counting votes three days after the election day was a terrible decision. And he also said that once the polls close Tuesday, we're going to go in with our lawyers. And yeah. What a cool cool not even sports fans want to want their team to win like that you know what i mean if you offered like your team in a game seven that you're like like if you could just call the game at that moment would you some might but at the end of the day it's like not even there's nothing is done like that there's nothing there's

no reasonable way of measuring anything when you just stop the measurement at a point where you like or don't like. But yeah, those are the things that are kind of going on. And it's, again, we just don't know where this day is going to go. It's so exciting, everyone. Isn't it fun? You can only imagine what it's doing to your nerves. Yeah. Literally 55% of the country say this is going to be the most stressful day of their lives.

That's where we at. If we can get Biden elected, every person after this day who tried to suppress votes, we take them all, we put them in a spaceship. And we shoot them into space with no end in sight. Because voter suppression is illegal. And you shouldn't do it. And I don't understand why it's so fucking easy to suppress votes. It doesn't make any sense. Even the law is like, well, you do have a point.

Maybe we shouldn't let people vote. Nothing makes any sense. I don't get it. Isn't it illegal? Am I out of my mind? It's easy because the entire country was built on this. The entire political system has been built to suppress votes for many years. Right.

We should, again, put all those people, any person who's ever been like, they shouldn't be allowed to vote. Put U.S. history on a spaceship. Yeah. And just send it out. Put the U allowed to vote on a spaceship put the US on a spaceship yes and get them out of here it's not necessarily speckled by good behavior I think you know throwing all of US history on a spaceship and sending it out into space positive vote let's just do it

get them out of here yeah that's the one thing that also worries me is the people that are going to try and like skirt their way out of saying they had any hand in any of the enabling that was going on like you you we have to remember these people for what they are that's so one person has one of those you know those machines that just prints receipts right and she's like i mean we have that it doesn't stop it's called

and we just keep printing it out we pull it out like george c myers you're on the spaceship and then we just keep going and keep going all the receipts could you imagine you could wear them like cvs for days because we have it all baby and you're all going to space and that's that's where i find my self-care. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and, of course, lucha libre.

But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist.

I mean, my reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades.

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. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back speaking of high and living in a dream scenario uh donald trump jr went on laura ingram's show to break the world record for most words said while high on cocaine on tv yeah love that for him yeah i mean we don't like to you know cast aspersions on the first son um of the president but here's something i do know and

this is all anecdotal the wealthy white men i've been around who live in new york they like cocaine um i just i'll just say i know people in finance the entertainment industry where you're like wow that white bag came out real quick and you haven't even had your dinner what is going on so I'm just saying I'm looking at through those lens and I'm looking at a rich kid from New York who's never had a job that

wasn't with a company with his own last name in it and I'm thinking yeah okay you're starting to fit that profile again this is all anecdotal this is not a court of law okay because i'm not kim kardashian i'm not legally uh able to practice law on the podcast but yes just i just want everybody to watch this man's face um and his energy as he is really talking about like start trying to dismiss the death toll of the coronavirus fly These people are truly morons. You know what I mean?

I like how they go after Scott Atlas because he's not an epidemiologist, but Sanjay Gupta now magically is. I mean, give me a break, Laura. The reality is this. If you look, I put it up on my Instagram a couple of days ago because I went through the CDC data because I kept hearing about new infections. But I said, well, why aren't they talking about this? Oh, because the number is almost

nothing because we've gotten control of this thing we understand how to how it works they have the therapeutics to be able to deal with this if you look at that look at my instagram it's gone to almost nothing okay his eyes are like he looks high like like high, like he smoked weed. Like his eyes are like almost shut. He looks like he's traveling at the speed of light. That's why his eyes are like on substances. You know how when people get high and then they get excited about some idea and they're like, okay, so I have this idea. Okay, what we're going to do is we're going to take GIFs, right? Look at my Instagram. Just look at my Instagram my instagram yeah you know the gif like like the

moving thing which doesn't have sound what if you made a gif but it had sound it's like you just invented video congratulations that's exactly what he's like i think you're describing snapchat what the fuck is that man that's fucking thing fuck fuck you're like whoa calm down what's i'm sorry is your friend okay uh he's just coked out and he's mad he didn't think of snapchat uh eight years after the fact it's he was wearing a uh a windbreaker that said team trump on one breast and then don on the other um just to complete the picture for people it's on i wonder if they gave tiffany one of those do you think tiffany had one yes she's out there she's out there also doing her part as a surrogate uh even though everyone was like oh she's the rebel and it's like she's not a rebel

she just is less loved by her father that's the thing the thing with this clip i mean this is him off his face. Like, it's really morbid when you think about it, right? Like, this is the son of the president when they're discussing, like, you know, rally goers of any Trump rally should quarantine. It's unsafe. There's a pandemic. This is for safety. This guy's fucking on it.

He's on one. I don't know what, but he's on one. And he's like, like you know the thing is like laura like i mean when you look at it it's so it's basically nobody basically nothing nobody's done yeah it looks like a scene where like in like blow or any of those like drug movies where like the shit starts coming down and like fuck man get the fucking cash over there like it's all good man because nothing's fucking going on like you know it's my kid's birthday like we're gonna have the party in the back it's all gonna be good you know but i don't know that's it's so hard to read their energies or like the if i'm writing a script i'm

like okay this is perfect this is the drama scene where you realize it's not gonna happen and they're all panicking but then i don't know i mean like they're so insulated with their privilege he might just be having a good night and be like yeah i don't know i just blew up and went on laura ingram to just talk some shit i mean also i think there's a huge focus on covid deaths and i think that it is important that we look at the fact that a quarter of a million people practically have died yeah but also there are people that are sick and we don't know what the long-term implications of that illness are. And they're like very sick and they're alive, but they're not okay. And that's the conversation that we also need to have because it's like,

they're like, oh, well, you know, people died. We knew people were going to die. It could have been more people. If I hadn't closed the border to China,

it would have been more people. But like, there are still people who are sick, like long haulers who are chronically fatigued for the rest of their life might have heart and lung issues for the rest of their life like that's also worth exploring and worth avoiding yeah and also a thousand people died on the day that he said that it's practically no one like two 9-11s worth of people died in like the last week or so well you know again we're even

talking about this with the azerbaijan armenia thing it's like when the victims don't look like most of the country it's like i don't know like i'm i'm fine and i think a lot of people have this weird narrative in their head about what it means to get coronavirus which is like dude you'll get it it'll be fucked up for two weeks and then like you're over it um because that's not the case like every person i know who uh has battled it or has family that has like some have come out the other side with like you know their scent and uh taste intact and things like that others are like it's incremental uh others are like my heartbeat can be weird sometimes and it's like that's the shit you should really fear it's like it's incremental uh others are like my heartbeat can be weird sometimes and it's like

that's the shit you should really fear it's like it's not that you're gonna get a illness that you get over it's like you could get something that could fundamentally change how you live your life um depending on your own biology yeah that's what scares the shit out of me like i don't it and i that's why i'm like always just want people to be as safe as possible or at least to be in tune with that and but unfortunately we're also living in such a cruel society where some people they have no financial recourse except to put themselves in danger and i think that's just so fucked up um i mean as we're recording this there was a record 91,248 new virus cases in a single day. Is that nationwide?

Yeah. And also just massive suspicious mail delays in Pennsylvania. So, yeah, they're doing everything they can to steal this and remain in power and do nothing about the pandemic. Have you guys been to the grocery store in the past? Like I went by a trader Joe's and did a U-turn cause the line was out the back. I, uh, I've been addicted to Instacart lately,

man. It's a, it's a terrible addiction. I get like four bags of groceries and it costs like $125. Yeah. Yeah. It's, it's pretty expensive,

but grocery stores are preparing. People are preparing for this election like a hurricane's coming. Really? That's how you know. Yeah, man. The Ralph's by my house, which is Kroger in the rest of the country. Right. The shelves are empty.

It looks like that very first time when the pandemic hit. Yeah, and the shutdown happened. And there was lines wrapping time when the pandemic hit. The shutdown happened? Yeah, and the shutdown happened, and there was wines wrapping around through the parking lot. And then once you got in, the shelves were empty. Is this happening in other places too? I just wanted to get some milk for my two-year-old. Oh, God. Yeah.

We found some. We got the last carton of milk, but it's fucking wild. You checked the date on that? You got it on StockX. Yeah, exactly. It's chunky, but it's fucking check the date you checked it you got it on that you got it on stock yeah exactly it's chunky but it's been untouched it's gotta squeeze a little stock so yeah i don't know if that's happening elsewhere uh i'll be curious to hear from zeitgang uh if they're seeing that elsewhere but i I mean, that's pretty wild. Well, yeah, it seems like a lot of people are preparing for some abstract disaster

that they're not sure how to prepare for. So it seems like some people are like, I'll prepare myself by having so many canned goods and Gatorade. And other people are like, I'm going to buy a gun. Other people are like, I'm going to watch Fargo and smoke a blunt. One of those is healthy

yeah well it's just so weird because i think everyone it's like a fuck you know everyone's bringing their own neuroses fears hopes dreams to this thing and it it can you know project itself in so many different ways for people and there's the unique thing about that grocery thing too i think we all learned in the beginning of the pandemic is like that thing kind of feeds itself like when you go to the grocery store you see that there's no toilet paper it makes you start panic buying shit right you know even if you didn't feel that way coming in you know yeah no yeah there's something about like damn do i am i stupid because i have like three carts full of toilet paper and lima beans shit all right i guess i need to get on your page.

Oh, I started pushing old ladies down the second I saw the line, but that's just... It's always how I... My two-year-old needs milk, lady. Yeah. How are you guys? One of our listeners shared this self-care routine for the evening. They have work meetings all day. They already voted, so they're just gonna go straight

home take a leftover sleeping pill from a surgery they had a few months ago and wake up in the future um which i fucking respect the time travel yeah i guess but that's the thing like if you go to sleep is that really then you're gonna wake up like fuck what happened i know i know what's better this fucked up story uh this this friend of mine worked on a um a reality show and one of his co-workers super staunch super like very pro gay rights super staunch feminist like there was an accident on set and like she got like hitting the head with some shit oh no and like so she was like in a coma until like after the election wow and so like when she got hurt like you know everything looked like hillary was gonna

win and she woke up and fucking trump was president wow that's gotta be fucked up absolutely yeah well you know that's why like everybody's got to protect themselves how they want to if time travels your thing I guess throw throw another banana peel in the Mr. Fusion uh and take off down the street and come back and tell us how it is but yeah I mean again it's you won't know anything till at least seven or we won't even begin to know some semblance of anything until seven because I know a lot of people, there's a lot of exit polls and projections and things. We're like, oh, we think Milwaukee's going to have 89% turnout or whatever.

You're not going to really know until these numbers start coming in. That self-care plan is from a person on Twitter by the name of I'm more tired than a big-dicked bat. So shout out to them. Okay. Damn, all right. I guess that would be exhausting. Flying around carrying a big dick.

Yeah, carrying a big dick. And then when you're hanging upside down, it just hits you in the face. Oh, that would be bad. That's the part where you're like, yo, bro, honestly, I know everybody's like, oh, I would love to be like that,

but you try sleeping with your own dick in your face. Oh, that's terrible. There are some things going on. Just speaking of rat fuckery, there are robocalls that have apparently reached 10 million people telling them to stay home for their safety. They're saying it may be foreign in origin. This kind of happens every election, but this one in particular, people are a little worried about because of the pandemic that we're

in the middle of. One text said a typographical error meant that people who are intending on voting for Joe Biden instead had to select President Trump. So hopefully nobody's falling for that. They also misspelled Federal Bureau of Investigation when signing it. They didn't spell Bureau right. Yeah. B-Y-R-O-W. Oh, no. No, I'm joking. But I mean, they spelled it like I was going to say Bureau is kind of hard hard to spell, but they spelled it B-E-R-U-E.

No. That is not how I'm... I have misspelled that word many a time in anywhere that I didn't have spellcheck, but that was not one of the ways that I've misspelled it. Baru. That's Aunt Baru from fucking Star Wars. Okay. The fuck? of it baru baru from fucking star wars okay the fuck you know what amazes me and and has continued

to fascinate me in this whole process is like who knew there were this many ways to fuck with an election and like who knew that it was like like this is this isn't illegal. None of this shit's illegal. You can just put a fake box that says drop vote in here. You can just put that there and nobody gets in trouble for that. It seems very

snidely whiplash, very cartoon villain kind of Acme paint the highway on the side of the mountain type shit that see like i just i just never would have thought in a million years that none of this shit would result in like federal jail time for people to do robo calls that essentially be like yes means no and no means yes go vote you're like what the fuck yes means no biden means trump and trump means what the fuck is this yeah it's a typographical error man sorry yeah it just happens like off man yeah

i mean the snidely whiplash ness of of the whole republican party is pretty like it's getting just straight up like did you guys see that video somewhere in California where a bunch of Trump people, like a caravan of Trump people surrounded a woman? In Bakersfield. Yeah, Bakersfield, for having a Black Lives Matter flag. It was straight up. They were like, fuck you. Just real, all in her face like inches from her nose

like trying to slap her phone out of her hand um but it was like yeah it was like oh what this is what it would have been like if we had smartphones during the rise of nazis like that that's what this shit looks like it's just straight up aggro people uh trying to do violence to other people. And a dude had a strap on him, it looked like. And she was like, dude, you're going to fucking... What are you... You're trying to fight a woman? And he took his vest off like he was going to square up to her.

And then another woman's like, well, I'll fight you, bitch. And it was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And then the end part of that, too, is when she tried to talk to the police. Yes. And they were acting like Mariah Carey. She's being like, oh, I don't know her. I don't know what's going on. Oh, did something happen?

Oh, we don't know. Oh, yeah, we'll let those people go that you just said bear-maced you. Yeah. And then walk away. They bear-maced somebody in her group of friends. And the police were like, yeah, well, that's not, there's nothing we can do about that. That's crazy. And I think that's what the future probably is more what our future looks like

is where that is just the norm of these people being protected because they got their blue lives matter stuff on and like yeah all right we'll turn we'll turn our fucking eye to this i mean it's been happening um but to see it like that to see how casual they were they were like looking at each other like hey all right you got anything else you guys got the cops are talking to each other like when she's trying to you know basically report this crime and be like all right i think we're good y'all we're leaving and they're like uh can we get your badge numbers like yeah three four five just like muttering it while they fuck off yeah it's dark that's wow but i mean that that is like there seems to be a coalition between like whether trump wins or not there seems to be a coalition between a lot of local police and the Trump supporters around America.

And that's a pretty dangerous coalition, I feel like. All right, let's take one more break and we'll be right back. we'll be right back. When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and of course, lucha libre.

Atari promised 150 grand in prizes to four finalists, but the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist. I mean, my reaction, shock and awe.

That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades.

It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back.

We have a great guest today who we are thrilled to have with us kick off the new era our first guest from the biden era a little ray of sunshine for all of us she is the hilarious The talented Blair Saki! Oh, what's up, Daily Zeitgeist? Oh, shit! Back in the fucking mix! Let's do this, bitch! Yeah, yeah. What's up? I missed you all, yeah.

Sons out, guns out. We missed you. Out of my fucking mind over here. I don't know up from down. Hoping it all shakes out sometime soon. You got this. It seems like the reality turning against Trump and his followers is just causing things to accelerate in a direction of them not accepting reality, as opposed to like any any sort of satisfying conclusion it's just they are uh sprinting away from uh the planet that we exist on faster and faster now

um you think there's gonna be like a theme park slash community you can live in like called like maga world where you will just go and like you can live in that call like maga world where you will just go and like you can live in that like like a quite literally a physical bubble to just be like you know what fuck the rest of it like we need to like you know their version of where like people like i'm going to canada yeah we're going to and they all just wear like ll bean and like clean their guns right yeah ll bean yeah back off ll bean blair uh well i just i just thought that was very highbrow of and clean their guns. Yeah. Back off L.L. Bean, Blair. I just thought that was very highbrow of them.

You big L.L. Bean fan, Jack? Look at my outfit. I'm full. I'm head to toe L.L. Bean right now, you guys. L.L. Bean, Jay. A little bit of L.L. Bean and then also Bass Pro Shops mixed together. Oh, they'll move into that one Bass Pro Shop

that's shaped like a pyramid? Bass Pro Shop is... I think a lot of the libs in their lib bubble might not realize that Bass Pro Shop has turned into a Disney World attraction, like theme park. You can go fishing inside

of a Bass pro shop basically um i've never been inside one but the the outside of it like i gotta be honest there's something enticing about it like i don't know if it's because i want to find like a lumberjack or some shit but yeah find one yeah you know i just heard that was really interesting that has nothing to do with what we're talking about today i heard that the whole grunge movement is the result of basically like all the lumber jobs moving out of America in the late 80s, early 90s. And all those like artists, dads basically got laid off. And so the whole grunge movement is just the kids of laid off lumberjacks like being very angsty and like having like really economic like difficulties like kind of infuse the soul of their music.

And then like aesthetically, that's why they had all those leftover uh flannels is because their dads just like were out of work without flannels jack with the rock history cool yeah yeah rock and roll i like that it all just boy like and that's why there's so much flannel yeah isn't that interesting though? That's not, I have not fact checked that. That was just a idea. It tracks in my mind. Yeah, it tracks. Even though I know nothing of the logging industry and the migration of jobs, but I like that.

I like the logic. Yeah, now I know how like all the flannel got to be in my closet. Yeah, exactly. That's where it came from. All those unemployed lumberjacks. I'm curious what everybody i've been eating the shit out of some halloween candy i've been uh eating just endless bowls of cereal just uh feeding my uh my anxiety with just garbage food like what vices have you been partaking in over the past couple days,

or have you been? Are you stronger than me? I'm not joking. I got this Halloween candy. Oh, my God, Miles. It's like a barrel, a tub, a keg. I got some loose Butterfinger wrappers that I eat. Some loosies?

Yes. I got a couple loosies and Butterfingers I'm hitting throughout the day. Actually, what's funny is I've been so stressed I haven't been eating as much. Yeah. I've kind of been the same way, which is if you know me, people would be worried. Yeah, your pasta gang. Yeah, I did ball out like a massive vat of pad thai on tuesday i was like i need this and like yeah i i lit up a jay and then all of a sudden

it was gone in like one second and i couldn't eat for like 48 hours. Damn. Yeah. I don't know. I, I've been, it, I, it's starting to dissipate now, but I don't know. Like, I think for anybody who's been like listening for this entire week, like it's,

it feels like a, just fight or flight on Mike constantly. Yeah. But now I don't know. I'm just, I'm like, I think my body is getting to the point where it's like, I don't know.

You need to fucking sleep a whole day and eat nine pizzas. Yeah. You need a carbo load to make up for it. So, yeah. Oh, man. I can't wait until my wife is getting, Barry Weiss is getting back into town this weekend. I'm so looking forward to it.

And you're going to eat pizza with her? I'm going to eat pizza, but I'm also going to be able to sleep. My kids wake up at like 6 in the morning every morning, and they're just like, hey, let's go. And you're going to experience love and connection. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Safety. I'm going to experience getting to sleep in. Yeah, because Jack's eyes right now are lower than a 64 Impala. Yeah, that's true i'm so tired but this other thing so you know we were talking about what we've been eating because grubhub you know thank god we can move on to some slightly lighter fare for the moment uh in the interim of taking breaths between whatever the next phase is but they're saying like, you know, we got some,

we got some data from election day, seeing what kind of orders grub hub was getting, uh, the last couple of days. And by far, then it makes sense. The winner is pizza. Number one with a bullet.

Uh, yes, it says five of its top eight, most popular items were pizzas. And then the other one was pizza adjacent appetizer, Yes, it says five of its top eight most popular items were pizzas. And then the other one was pizza adjacent appetizer, garlic knots or garlic bread or some kind of garlic thing with marinara sauce. Oh, I thought you were going to go wings, but close enough. Wait, does this podcast come out today? It does.

Yeah, it's going to come out later today. Oh, shit, okay. I was going to say where I was going on a date tonight in regards to this. I can't tell because what if some people are going to show up? Yeah, and they want to come on my date with me. Why? Is there only one of this restaurant? Yeah.

Oh, okay. It's not Olive Garden then. That would be dope. Just as an experiment just to see if anyone was dedicated enough and then they're like mad polite but they'll just take low-key photos of you from across the restaurant. Would be dope. Just as an experiment, just see if anyone was dedicated enough. And then they're like mad polite. But they'll just take like low-key photos of you from across the restaurant. Honestly, I love Zyking so much.

I had no idea the power of this community until I went on the road last year. And it was like, I met so many. Oh, but now you've become your own thing. I see the write-ups. Oh, come on. They're clocking you. You know what I mean? Oh, come on. We can just say, I hope she remembers us.

Yeah, right. My fucking dudes from day one. So the other thing that was the top rated item was alcoholic in nature. And that was margaritas. I saw that. I just saw that on my timeline. Who orders margaritas from Grub i just saw that on my timeline like people margaritas from grub i don't know that's the weirdest shit i've ever heard i think it betrays it and it indicates exactly who that is which is like a like a very wealthy maybe biden

supporter who's like i don't know fire up the gig economy app and have someone bring us alcohol as we get through this, as we vote against their interests in Prop 22. Like, I could just see this really fucked up picture. Just like a contained eight ounces. I know I shouldn't, but I will. I don't keep the bottles in my home because I don't know what would happen, but I'll just get an eight ouncer. Right. because I don't know what would happen, but I'll just get an eight-ouncer.

Right. But I get, you know, margaritas, like, I get why you... It feels like such a dated cocktail. I guess second place, they said old fashions being delivered. Old fashion? What the fuck? Margaritas, I feel like...

Do these people live in a steakhouse? I'm sorry. Oh, no. Yeah, right? In a wedge salad. Margarita is, like, once you pop it, it's like,house? I don't know. Yeah, right? In a wedge salad. A margarita is like once you pop it, it's like, yeah, I don't care what, like all bets are off is what I feel like. Do you drink margaritas when you're out ever, Blair?

No, I don't. I mean, I will if someone like orders them for the table or something. Like a pitcher and you're at a Mexican restaurant, they're like, oh, we get a pitcher? Yeah, I don't. I think they're, I don't like sweet sweet um drinks so they always taste like syrupy to me you know yeah so syrupy like fernet bronca i love that you think i'm fucking classy as hell dude um you're like nah papa vodka straight out a fucking plastic pint Yeah I actually roll around town With my own handle of goldschlager No I just usually drink wine

Like a classy refined bitch Or like vodka I keep it clean Oh keep it clean? Yeah just you know clear fuels Yeah yeah yeah And you just drink it straight? No, no, vodka soda.

Just straight from the bottle. Just straight from the plastic bottle. No, that'd be terrible for my skin. I would never. Is vodka bad for your skin? No, just drinking in general. Yeah, drinking is bad for you. Yeah, it weathers you.

It weathers you. There's some people i'm worried about like not that i'm worried like because they they they're like have substance abuse problem like but people who i know like like drink throughout the like quarantine like that's their thing like i'm a weed smoker i'm not really a drinker yeah like when you haven't seen somebody for like eight months and you're like, Oh shit.
