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 orlando what's what's new with you man how is uh social distancing treating you uh it's treating me well man i never knew i was so prepared like my whole life for this uh social distancing pandemic i didn't know that i was ready like so prepared like not to shake people's hands like i kind of i had an idea that i didn't like shaking people's hands like just a feeling like

you know i would look at certain individuals and like uh maybe i shouldn't but i was still you know being a stand-up comic you do meet and greets but now it's like i don't have to shake nobody's hand and it's like i don't even feel bad telling people it's like oh you know i would but i can't we could die so yeah it's not a good look you know there's cameras around yeah yeah there's yeah and riding in elevators by myself is fantastic it's like you get a whole nother uh like you have like a vacation home i just realized i don't think i've been in an elevator oh i have man yeah in a long well no the when you just said that i'm like yeah yeah and i'm like wait yeah it's great i used to i used to feel bad when i'd be like no i'll i'll wait for the next

one when there was only one person in the elevator just because i didn't want the awkward you know silence uh no i recently i went to the doctor and when i went to the doctor uh he taking the elevator they had a sign that said only one person yeah right and i was like oh this is fantastic i love it and uh and a dude actually tried to get on the elevator with me and i blocked him i was like no sorry and i pointed at the sign read the sign homie and i didn't even hold the button i just let the doors close slow bro yeah can't let you in man not with those shoes on sorry yeah come with some ladies next time we'll let you in and his face man his face was so like like he was just like what do you mean and like the sadness that he he thought i was just d-boying him like i was

i was like no look at the sign and when this elevator closed his sadness brought me so much happiness i cannot lie to you guys you're like i didn't even go to the doctor i felt cured right there i felt great i was like this is fantastic i think we're learning just that there's a whole portion of the american population that had never been told they can't do something before. Right. Yeah, they just were not emotionally prepared to have to wear masks or not get a drink whenever they wanted to or not get to ride an elevator with orlando laba yeah and the flip side of that is that other portion of people who've always wanted to tell people stuff like yo shut off shut off your your speaker in the store like you're talking on speakerphone in the store we all like right now it's like now we all feel

like comfortable telling people yo like no you can't ride in this elevator yeah yeah you can't ride in this this has empowered a lot of people that felt like they didn't have any type of power and now they have a little bit of power hopefully it won't go to their heads my head my misanthropy is saving your life right yes yeah billy we like to ask our guests what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Mattresses. I've been looking up, trying to find the best deal for a mattress.

Also, I don't think Black Friday's a good time or Cyber Monday is a good time to buy anything because I don't know what anything ever cost. Right, there's no baseline for prices anywhere. And then they're just saying like, this is 100% off. And you're like, maybe. I don't know.

Where did it start from? It's still $45. Right. Yeah. That and like, I don't know if one's better than the other. Like it's all blending together. It's really strange because even throughout the lockdown, so many of these outlets or shopping places have had all kinds

of ridiculous sales to offset the lack of like foot traffic into their physical stores so it's like i've complete like i felt like there were always deals on shit because of the lockdown that yeah like the cyber monday thing was almost moot to me i was like i don't even i don't know like i feel like nothing looks cheaper than it ever has. I feel like everything looks cheap somewhat. $40 80-inch TV. They have hyperinflation Sundays

where they triple the price and then it always looks like a deal on Monday. And then all the cheap TVs, if you look, they have a listening device in them and you're like, well, that's why they're cheap. Yeah. You're the product.

That makes me angry. That's just the new club card is what that is. Right. But I think the mattress thing is frustrating because it's like some of them are really expensive, and some of them aren't, and I don't know why. They're different, and you can't tell. And then I mentioned it online, and you know, people are like, hey, this one or this one. And then people are like, hey, don't get the ones that come rolled up because then something happens.

Right. Yeah, nothing is clear anymore. Pops out of the box and scares you. Well, it's just like, yeah, you'd be on a tuesday they get a little over than then on a wind and you're like man i don't don't get them wet do not get them wet yeah especially not after midnight yeah don't feed it either it is that i think it's just a thing where i shouldn't i should ask specific questions instead of vague questions because people do answer they take it personal

too like well don't get one from surda because your girlfriend will break up with you and you're like that's not why she broke up with you know i think you're putting two events that happened on one day that have nothing to do with each other yeah look at poonhound69x420 i don't think that was the issue lacy what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Supermarket Sweep. Okay. I'm obsessed with Supermarket Sweep. I've watched all the old episodes.

I love Leslie Jones on it now. She's fucking crushing it. She's doing the most, and I love it. The last episode on Sunday, she was, like, humping one of the free teddy bears, and I was just like, why is this happening? And I was like, but I love it. Why not?

But I love it. And I, like, want to be on Supermarket Sweep so badly, and I don't think that my agents or managers would let me do this, but I really fucking want to be on this show. Like, I've always wanted to be on it. I'm a weird kid who came home from school and watched Supermarket Sweep with David ruprecht and his press khakis wow shit during quarantine i started to think like is david ruprecht fine um that's where i'm at

in quarantine that sounds about right for you so i was google shut up shut up david ruprecht and the pressed khakis is actually one of my favorite bands. Yeah. I love it. But, okay, to Miles' point, also, if you follow us on Twitter, if you follow David's Eye Guys on Twitter, you might have caught the tweet where I said I was going to start lying on this hoe because I'm tired of telling the truth. I'm tired of telling the truth and y'all finding out and being like, this is you?

We got to get you on supermarket sweeps though. Is there a way we, I mean, I feel like you, the energy you have for it. Oh, absolutely. Is like, you know,

people might need to get out the way. And I sit at home and I guess too, like when they're doing the challenges, I'm guessing with them trying to get it before they do. Like, I love it so much. Jaquese and I have talked about this because we're like, we would go as a team.

Cause he knows lots of random brand stuff and i can run fast and grab all the stuff right right right but also he might push the cart because he can carry all the meats it's look i thought about this a lot and so i'm trying to get them to do like a comedian episode where like a bunch of comedians can come on and compete uh we'll see but didn't they do that with millionaire recently didn't they have like they did yeah. Yeah. And it was cute. Yeah. It was cute. What's her face from Modern Family? What's her name?

Julie Bowen. Julie Bowen. I love that bitch. She almost hit me with her car once. I love her. Good for her. Still, you love her. I was in Larchmont and I was crossing the street and she stopped and she waved.

She was like, oh, my bad. I was like, is that the mom from Modern Family? Yeah. I can't believe you were in court. Also, Larchmont, like, why are people bad. I was like, is that the mom from Modern Family? Yeah, there you go. Also, Larchmont, like, why are people driving so fast? They got stop signs like every fucking 40 feet. Right. It's a very foot traffic area.

That's some celebrity shit to drive through Larchmont all recklessly and then be like, ooh, sorry, wave, even though this is not the Autobahn. To her credit, I was not crossing at an appropriate cross point because I'm a criminal. Wow. So I was just like, I'm across wherever I want in the street. But she should have known that. She should have known that. Yeah, she should have been paying attention.

The city sends out an alert to everyone's cell phone when you're out on the prowl. They go, Lacey's in the streets, y'all. Be careful. Scams in progress. Listen, I love jaywalking. Yeah. That's one of my favorite things to do. Like you do the, I know about you and your ghost car that ran over your foot.

Like you get in your Julie Bowens car and be car. Ah, shit. You ran over my foot. Julie, why? You're right. As soon as I saw her, I should have grabbed my neck and been like, my neck and my back. We can settle this out of court right now for 20 bucks. Wait, so on Supermarket Sweep, what did they update the premise? Like what's what's new with Super sweep other than leslie jones pretty the thing that i love the most about it is like they knew the girls wanted supermarket sweep they didn't want no millennial shit they wanted the thing that we knew so they keep a lot of it very

similar the only big differences that i see now are like one like the jokes are a little racier like you know like leslie jones will be referencing, like, Megan Thee Stallion and, like, talking about flirting or talking about she having a sexy night in or whatever. So it's a little racier than the first supermarket sweep, which was very vanilla. And they have people now that she interacts with. Like, it was just David Ruprecht back in the day, okay, and his press khakis. And you knew you were getting a button down and you were getting a dad joke. If that, dad jokes were rare. So now with leslie they got jokes they definitely have some writers and they have these three it's like oscillating they rotate there's like three or

four people who work in the supermarket to like instead of grinding the coffee like before where you used to have to wait and grind it and that was like it takes a bunch of time but you got like 150 bucks for it. Now they have a coffee barista who does it, but she purposely has to like move real slow and take up like some of your time. Right, got you, got you. Or they have like a flowers guy who moves real slow and takes up some of your time.

So there's little slight updates, but it's mostly true to what it used to be. And how does the show like change from episode to episode because like it seems like you would just figure out what the most expensive stuff is and always go for that like quickly what what's the like difference how do you update it for those listeners who aren't fans like you and I so how they update it from episode to episode is like some episodes they have these things called golden cans which are $300 and like they'll be like the golden cans are an aisle for like in the middle of your sweep so that'll kind of throw people from going to get the normal stuff also there's different strategies because you have to think about what you're physically capable of doing

like some people gonna go meats and cheeses but that's a heavy ass cart and you gotta push that shit back and you gotta have stamina and you only have two minutes so there's some people are going to go meats and cheeses, but that's a heavy ass cart. And you got to push that shit back and you got to have stamina and you only have two minutes. So there's some people who go for like caviar and light things that are very expensive. Some people go for diapers or some people just try to get all of the bonuses. So everyone's strategy is different and it stays different because people are different, which is why I love the show. That's why it stays fresh is because it's like everybody can't go run and get meat. That's why the other one just buy a bunch of pregnancy tests. They're light and they're at least 10 bucks a pop.

See, that's not enough. You got to get something that like there's a Yeti cooler that's empty. That's $300. Oh, there is. See, I got to update my knowledge. I would have just been there. Like he's getting a lot of pregnancy tests. He's at least 10 bucks, man.

I don't think he knows how to play this game. You know, I don't see condoms in the store. I've never seen condoms. So I wonder if they have the

step too racy. At the front, purchase. Oh, safe sex is too racy. I begged, I begged to differ at Netflix

or who is it? The acknowledgement of sex. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. 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.

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 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. They 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. And we're back. So I started thinking about contemporary Christian contemporary christian art because of the sopranos i was watching the soprano right part where janice is like in the contemporary christian music scene and it was just like it's so uh it's just interesting. I started thinking about how consistently bad Christian art has been for a century.

I don't know. It's been a long time. It's an easy butt of a joke online to show the pictures or the drawings of Jesus carrying people out of the Twin Towers on 9-11 or whatever, sticking his arm in front of a junkie so that he's taking the heroin for the junkie. But I actually think it's at the core of one of our biggest national problems, like the whole culture war. of like one of our biggest national problems like the whole culture war like i feel like the protestant like sort of uh right wing the fact that they like don't have culture or like art that

we can respect causes like a resentment because we're dismissive of their art and then they resent uh our art i think and resent us and like think that there's like a war on their culture yeah secular art i thought you're acting like we have hey check out our daily zeitgeist christian contemporary artworks hated by evangelicals because we have swag no just like secular art in general like there i i hadn't really done a ton of research into like i grew up around some people like when i lived in kentucky who were like part of this uh more like baptist protestant southern baptist ethic where you would all you couldn't listen to secular music you would just listen to like, there's apparently a chart that they had

in like Christian record stores that was like, if you like Dr. Dre, then you'll love DC talk. No. I need that chart. I need the, like a way to transition people

off of that secular music. Yeah. But like there's also, you know, what's the what's that paul sheer movie thing how did this get made like sometimes covers like these christian movies and like like they're they're somewhat successful when they come out like on a budget of like a small budget they'll make 10 million dollars something, but they're always just ridiculous and like fully reviled. And like, so I,

I started searching this just to be like, what, how does like, what is the most dominant, like probably the most dominant culture in America. And you know, like Christians are, they're not the majority,

but they're probably the plurality of like the population vague white christianity for sure yeah like not getting too into the details like jesus and white okay yeah there's so so many of them in america and like as a rule every piece of art that they make is bad. And so, yeah, I was doing research, and this is something that they're writing about. I think they're aware of it. In these Christian blogs, that's what comes up when you search, why is Christian contemporary art so consistently bad?

And they're like, yeah. Their diagnosis is interesting because they i think get some of it right they talk about like how um they they got locked into sort of a weird al yankovic occasion of art where they would like take secular art and just do like the religious version of that like it's because they've like failed on like the educational front like just to encourage really like deep critical thinking and everything just goes back to like this very simplistic normative judgment like one of the people was saying that they focus on having the answer as opposed to like the mystery of life which like the mystery and the questions are what drives art as opposed to like just being like ah no it's a simple yes no answer but yeah i don't know i mean you're an artist veronica what do you think what is it

about it i had i did just google uh christian art and yeah it's not good it all it's also like it it's so it's like it's all evolving off of the same tree and no one's branching out. No one's taking a bit of cubism or introducing a Bauhaus aesthetic into their... You know what I mean? Because if that's art, you're there to express yourself, but it seems like they already limit sort of visually what is possible if you're doing Christian art. Yeah, it seems like they're just not encouraged to like think outside the box or try new things which i feel like to be good at art you know boom that's what it is right like the lack of challenging

your your norms or your beliefs in in the process of making your own art i mean that's the other thing too is how dedicated you are as an artist to your work because there are plenty of there are plenty of works by non-religious artists that are christian themed that are really good like yeah that are about kehinde wiley is an amazing painter who regularly has themes of christianity like intertwined in his works like whether that's like sort of stained glass pieces or like doing one for one versions of like older paintings that were depictions of Christ and just swapping them out with like African-American people that like, they still have power.

Like there's a, I don't know, like, it's just so funny that they, but people who aren't, you know, specifically Christian artists are still able to evoke things about religion through their art.

So why doesn't it, why doesn't somebody rip off kahinde where are these you know like like people plenty of people rip other artists off just start ripping off fucking good art like that's growing up as like a movie fan the best like times i saw a movie address faith was like contact oh i love that movie i love the contact but like that's that's a movie by a scientist about like religious faith it's not like the you know christian churches like doctrine so like i'm sure it would be like kicked out of uh the conversation if like you brought it to uh you know into this

protestant aesthetic and then like i remember uh you can count on me. That movie like has a priest that is like, just allows for the, the mystery of like faith and like religion. And isn't just like, yeah, this is the answer. And that was like mind blowing because I, you just never see religion, uh, in that context in American art. Uh, but I think that dudes who made that as like a lapsed Catholic and like that, you just, I, the, the thing that they were saying in this podcast, I listened to where it was like all these Protestant like dudes who were like,

they, they were saying all the things you're saying that like they have set their sights too low, low standards. They're just like all responding to whatever is put before them and not... They're focused on the message rather than the aesthetic. But then when they try to explain or come up with a solution, it becomes like, we are the bearers of God's image and Genesis says creation is good. And it's just like they get short-circuited by this normative, judgmental thing.

And I think going into a piece of a work of art, thinking that you're going to pass judgment on something is not, I don't know, it feels very reductive and the opposite of creativity. I mean, isn't the best art pieces you look at they they are sort of they have this ability to be nebulous and abstract even if the form on the canvas or the image is very specific that the the composition and whatever the colors just bring something out of you that you just are like huh you know like that's the first step is just to be like hmm like this is interesting

but if it's just a literal yeah if there's just a literal and like representation of this thing of like jesus holding a baby or whatever like okay yeah what sure and there's no like there's no ability to begin questioning anything as you look at it whether not that you have to question the existence of christ or whether they're the father the son of god or whatever but he could even be for yourself of your own there's just something about it that doesn't allow even for that like there's no introspection i don't know i feel like good art gets your mind going and sort of challenges challenges you on some level and that's my personal take on like what the art the kind of art i respond to specifically it's different for other people but i think that's a thing that's also missing because the nature of working within a religious

framework is to not question anything at all. Like it's all the answers are given. So then we're kind of like, how can you, how could a Christian artist wrestle with their relationship with Christ in a painting? You know, Because then that would encourage other Christian people to think of like, am I also wrestling with my relationship? Whether that's good or bad, but like it can't introduce anything like that. It has to be like, dude, I don't know if you saw that, dude. Christ was walking with that guy on the beach full and was carrying him.

Okay? That is the definitive piece of Christian art of the past past 50 years. Long walks on the beach? Footsteps, yeah. Come on. Y'all can do better. One thing, tying it back to the current cultural moment,

there's this BBC article about this question, and they were talking about that moment. Do you remember when there was like piss Christ? It was just a photograph of like a cup of piss with like a crucifix in it but then there was also a painting uh these were like big uh modern art pieces uh there was a painting of the virgin mary in that was painted with elephant shit and the it was like late 90s, early 2000s. And the person who was like the central critic of the ability to show these works of art was Rudy Giuliani.

Like that's, he was like, because they were in New York museums, he like took center stage and was like, this is unacceptable. Get the fuck out of here. It was like one of the first times when you started seeing like the cultural conversation around him be like wait what the fuck is this guy's deal like right what a piece of shit um okay yeah but it's like he's he's passing judgment

on he's like this is it's just like that normativeative thinking you get to say what's good and bad. Art is deathly allergic to that, I feel like. Yeah. Well, we can't solve all your problems for you, Christian Art World. I know, but I want them to solve our problem for us and start creating art that is good that will cross over so we can all be like, yeah, no, that's good that like the whole that will cross over so we can all be like yeah no that's good man like good for you guys and great now like you don't have to feel like you have a chip on your shoulder about fucking the sopranos or i don't

know if it's that i mean it's so many things but i think just already when you get caught up in this thing of like, I'm the operating within a religious environment, just because I went to school, like in things like that, just people, some people are just so already kind of cut off from having any thoughts that would challenge you or you would have growth or an evolution in general. I mean, we are the theory of evolution is already taboo to these people so

the idea that like i'm just thinking of like how any person operates from when they're trying to create something like artistically you're it's your moments of inspiration typically are born out of changes in your life or growth or failure or things and you're using that to be like oh wow i have this energy to express in a certain way if you're kind of one note because you're using that to be like, oh, wow, I have this energy to express in a certain way. If you're kind of one note because you're like, it's all good. Christ got my back. The devil is bad. And let's do this year after year. Yeah. Your art is already having a discussion with something like that in your life. I don't see much. I already don't. There's not much change or, you know, evolution. There's no there's nothing in flux there. It's very constant. Yeah. And you're also sort of operating off the get-go like within a certain set of rules and like art has no rules

baby you know yeah right you have to be willing to reject those rules to make it like so i was thinking of like catholic example of like good art and like the hold steady album separation sunday is like about catholicism and it's like very like thoroughly about religion like or with judaism uh a simple man or is that a serious man and like these are about religion and they're like also brilliant works of art that like you know you can you can be explicitly about the the religion the questions that arise from that religion without like being i don't know so just simple and stupid i want to see lit christian art too you know i want to be like you know i want to see lit everything art yeah just the holler at us and i don't mean to be like dismissive because i'm not trying to be dismissive at all i'm not saying you are i'm i'm only really speaking for myself because i sort of

felt that i'm the way i'm talking about it seems sort of uh across the board dismissive of someone's beliefs or belief system but yeah i would i don't know i don't know what the answer is because i've grown up seeing the same five fucking posters or framed works of art in Lutheran and Catholic schools. And I'm like, damn, this shit is so dry, bro. Like, just get that hot air balloon fucking photo up that says, like, perseverance. Like, that shit is hitting harder than this, you know, taking a long walk on the beach with this dude.

That painting of Jesus that is, like, you know, blue-eyed, light brown-haired Jesus, that's, you know, blue eyed, light brown haired Jesus. That's I think I read somewhere. It's the most reproduced piece of art like in the world, in the history of the world. And it's just like some dude like painted it in the early 20th century. And it just like happened. It's like not any sort of great masters's painting it's just like yeah that that'll do i mean if i even think of like there are basquiat uh like images of like christ you know

what i mean that are abstract and freaky but they do something to you because at least in that one there's some it it'll bring some kind of feeling of like fear or something out of it too because it's not like smiley you know white guy with blue eyes like it feels a little more all encompassing of what life is rather than just sort of myopically looking at like this very nice polished coiffed hair guy with the six-pack yeah i don't know uh but i do i do demand that jesus stays ripped uh because he he always has to be hot. I'm looking for a dad bod Jesus, you know? Yeah.

That might be step one. Would that be too subversive if a Christian was like, I honestly think this is a little bit better for Christ. Jesus with like love handles and just a little extra. Yeah, just being a regular dude. Because I would love this. I would watch a documentary about the Genesis, pardon the, sorry for the crossover pun there, but of ripped Jesus depictions.

Yeah. Who began that? And was there controversy around that? Did anyone try and do like a maybe a little scrawnier Jesus? Like, yo, bro, the Savior would be fucking ripped. Fuck out of here. It'll make him look weak. Has anyone ever done a Jesus with like a really big dong?

Because I feel like there's just always a normal size. As a joke, you mean ever done a Jesus with like a really big dong? Because like I feel like there's just always a normal size. As a joke you mean? No. Oh like a statue? Yeah a statue of Jesus with like a massive dong.

That's true. Because like he's always like naked like mostly but like they make him ripped but I feel like this that might be the future

of Christian art is just like Jesus. They could buy it at CrossFit Jesus. Yeah right. Just a artists. Just like Jesus. Say goodbye to CrossFit, Jesus. Yeah, right. Just a weird floppy dick Jesus. Rudy Giuliani is continuing to pursue the idea that the election was fraudulent

by bringing out some star witnesses. He was at a hearing in Michigan. So he brought forth a whistleblower who seemed to be legitimately drunk um and we'll hear from her in a moment he also brought forward another who said she thinks uh all chinese people look alike as an argument for using voter ids um there was a guy oh wow i didn't yeah i read like some of this stuff that was being said and that seemed like a joke but also in line with the real shit i read but wow yeah no she's straight up off patriot there was a guy who was there to report that the counting room was very hot um and like that was it

like they i think people were waiting for how this connected back to the fraud the claims of fraud and that was never made evident there was a woman who testified that she saw an asian man bring in a box of ballots uh in line with what would happen during an election uh and but that's it that was the entirety of her testimony was that uh an an Asian man brought in a box of ballots. There was another guy who was like, I saw this deal happening. And then they're like, are you a poll watcher? No. And then he's talking about the Obama's reign of destruction was hand in hand with Dominion voting machines.

Like, what's your testimony? He's like, oh, I just saw these signs at a rally that were suspicious. Like, okay, thanks for wasting there was a part where rudy audibly farted um again fantastic did he it's i can't i mean it's almost seems like it's so absurd that i'm like it's so absurd this dude's farting as he's this is me that that that was my exact response i went i watched it i was like they had to have added that but like the people who were tweeting the video were like you know straight up media people like they're not they're not people who are just uh here to we need the minutes of this uh of this hearing and you but like when you look at the video, the moment he farts, the woman who is in frame next to him, her eyes dart up from whatever she's doing to him in surprise. Yeah.

I mean, here, we'll just play both farts because this is a show about the culture. I will ask that he be disciplined for that. First of all. There's one. Okay. That was one. Little one. I demand he be disciplined for that. First of all. There's one. Okay, that was one. Little one. I demand he be disciplined for that.

Like, come on. Like, that's a fucking, like, they're being punctuated like a writer would if you're doing, like, you're writing a script. You're like, yeah, and he says it, fart. Okay, then I guess round two, we'll give a little bit more lead time. And this one is the one that causes the neck snap uh because the fart was so loud bar and others who have disproven i gave you the answer point of order the answer that i gave you is they didn't bother to interview a single witness just like you they don't want to know the truth yo she she and at that exact moment her eyes what huh exactly that's the perfect that's the perfect

example a long time ago he got taught to me that when something happens don't just focus right away on there on what's happening like open your eyes even bigger to try to capture the whole environment so she let me know that what i was hearing was not fake yeah yeah she let me know she was like oh this is legit yeah and she she was like again if this is a like single camera comedy show that's a fucking cut you punch into her reaction to the fart like and then she just looks up and then you go back and then looks at the camera her face said at all her face said he farted and it was wet she basically did jim from the office like like breaking the fourth wall kind of like yeah yeah the dude farted uh and then this other woman

we saw her before she was the one who she is the star she's the star she was the one who even i believe it was janine piero or laura inger one of those foxholes had a hard time even understanding her when she went on fox like a few weeks ago. It would be like, oh, they didn't have food at the polling place. So then they brought it in. It was ballots. So she's so I mean, her testimony opens with her complaining that they made her park in a parking garage and then get take a shuttle to the vote counting. Because so she's a tech.

She was the reason she is supposedly a witness, she's a freelance tech consultant who was brought in to monitor the election, and she's pissed and seemingly drunk. I don't even know where to start. I'm just going to close my eyes and put the cursor in a part of her testimony because all of it is equally as disturbing and alarming.

Off by 30,000? I'd say that poll book is off by over 100,000. That poll book? Why don't you look at the registered voters on there? How many registered voters are on there? Do you even know the answer to that? No, I guess I'm trying to get to the bottom of this here. Zero. Zero. There's zero.

So, my question then is if the... Guess how many... Wait. What about what about how... What about the turnout rate? Okay, at this point, even Rudy Giuliani is reaching over. Starts tapping her. You gotta tone that down a little bit. You can't just be

interrupting. This is a testimony. Yeah, you can't just be cutting down a little bit. You can't just be interrupting. This is a testimony. Yeah, you can't just be cutting them off like that. You on the sauce again. You on the sauce. I said no drinking. No drinking the night before. That was vodka. Damn, girl. Fine. Alright, do a fart or something.

What did you say? That was Listerine with food? What? That was vodka in that Listerine bottle? What, with a little bit of fruit coloring? Oh, food coloring? Oh, yeah. Later on is when it gets real testy. I mean, I'll just play another clip. I'm just saying the numbers are not off by 30,000 votes.

I know what I saw. I know what I saw. And I signed something saying that if i'm wrong i can go to prison did you that's what we call motherfucking bars right there did you wow i said did you i mean she has the hair of like you know somebody who just had to roll out of bed and go to court. Like it's the weird updo, the glasses, the vibe. They have a lot of useful idiots in this like whole legal procession that's going through it. Because I also just want to draw people's attention.

There's another, Kraken was released. I don't know if you heard about this dude, fucking folk hero Jesse Morgan is a person that they say he knows what was going on because he was a subcontractor for the postal service and he drove ballots that were completely doctored and he knows and I just want to show just play a quick thing because the president was also amplifying so um in total I saw 24 gay lords or large cardboard containers of ballots loaded into my trailer. These Gaylords contain plastic trays.

I call them totes, but trays will work, of ballots stacked on. Anyway, he got up there to basically be another person, to be a whistleblower, to say, I saw fake-ass ballots with my own tool. Yes, and I'm educated because I know the word gay Lord. Exactly. And I didn't snicker because the technical term, please grow up. And I call them totes. I have to tote my goats.

So the thing with this guy though, is he is, this man likes the camera a little bit. And it also, he tends to dabble in, you know, the kinds of activities, you know,

where you sort of swear that an impossible thing is true and you even have receipts, quote unquote, in the form of just lying. Because this dude is also a ghost hunter and he has been on YouTube with his family. This is from the Daily Beast who did some research on this man. It said, quote, Morgan's first success came with a 2016 video about a, quote, shadow person and, quote, living in his basement from where he claimed to hear strange noises. Quote, I will not raise my daughters in a place that is haunted, Morgan declares in the video, dubbed shadow person caught on camera. And so this dude also went on him and his brothers. They had like an amateur fucking ghost hunter documentary. They tried to get crowdfunded and the it it did i'm

looking on amazon the reviews are awful uh people are just saying like interesting this is what's so funny about this just the title of this review sums everything up about this man and this whole giuliani legal thrust the the title of the review is interesting but not enough evidence on their documentary about being fucking it's called the shadows amongst us and does he did he just find out about shadows like is it is the shadow person just his shadow i mean do you think people who looked at the video it just looked at a dude you know like when you know there's like green guy those like lycra suits people wear that's like a full body suit that covers your head and everything and just sort of makes you like a form of a solid color it looks like a dude in like a black body

suit and he's calling him like and you're like i'm pretty okay whatever just do your shitty blair witch project video so that's great that's what they got out there yeah i'm enjoying all these people man i personally I'm enjoying them. I know when I'm old enough to remember the circus. The circus doesn't really exist anymore. But I used to remember the circus used to come into town. I'm originally from Miami, Florida. And part of the celebration of the circus was that they would come with their wagons, Ringling Brothers, and you would just see these big trains rolling to town.

And it would cut through the middle of the city. Oh, and everyone was like, wow, the circus is in town. Wow, the circus is there. And then you kind of like every once in a while, you get a peek at what behind the tents, what it looks like, how they're living. And you're like, i don't know about the circus life yeah a little grim and uh and this is a great you know i it might have been like walter cronkite or someone uh that they were speaking uh earlier on that um this particular group of people that are in office now and and by the leader of the free world at this time uh

donald donald j trump is they're very good at throwing the dead cat at the on the table which is a negotiation technique which is an argument technique that when something's not going your way uh you basically throw a dead cat on the table and the conversation kind of ends. Right. And no one's paying attention at the real issue. They're just looking at this dead cat on the table. I use that tactic every day of my life, man. Every day.

Literally. I use that with every argument of my wife. About your trunk of your car stinks. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, there you go, man. So this is, I'm taking that for what it is it's entertainment i also know there's the damage that is causing because there are again just uh uh throwing it back to the social dilemma documentary uh there are people who are just

watching this yeah and they're not watching anything else and they're not reading anything else and they're not sharing anything else and they're not sharing anything else. But this and this is what's being done. And that we joke about it. But that mic drop that she had, I signed the paper. Did you? Did you? Did you?

Because if I if I'm lying, that paper says that I go to jail. If I'm lying, that paper says that I go to jail. And if you're in that bubble, you're like, this woman is ready to go to jail for freedom. Because she's not lying. Well, I'm down for my eyes, you know? I've seen everything but God. I love when these things come to light. The 50 Cent the other day, you know, allegedly, he went on a show and he talked about how he got the phone call from the Trump campaign. This is on, he talks about it on tape, so I'm sure people can look it up.

And 50 Cent, you know, that price tag was a million dollars. Oh, they paid him a million dollars for that? No, no, they offered him. They offered him. He did not take it and he didn't go and as a as a businessman uh he said i had to weigh the option of taking this million dollar bird in the hand and but am i gonna be able to bounce back and they and it's funny because they made fun of little win and there goes so little wayne took the million dollars? And he said he probably got more because he wore the hat and he went on the road.

Yeah, right. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, Lil Pump also must have got his check too. Yeah, yeah. It's like... He wasn't in the same numbers, but... Yeah, yeah. Those streaming...

Yeah. Lil Pump probably... He's in the $50,000. Is he platinum? What do you mean SoundCloud? What's SoundCloud? No, no, no. I need platinum. Platinum artists. Platinum artists. probably he's in the he's in the 50 000 what do you mean soundcloud what soundcloud platinum artists platinum artists but 50 cent did come out and say like that he recommended trump over biden because of the tax plan right yeah he did like a soft endorsement soft endorsement

yeah he went along the lines of what he just said. He went along the lines, very soft, like you just guys said. He didn't even mention Trump. He just stuck to Biden's. And he was like, Biden's plan, you know, I'm going to end up paying close to like 62% in taxes at the end of the day. Once again, and that scares a lot of people. And because everybody thinks that they're gonna make uh everybody and i wish that everybody would make but the reality is not everybody's gonna hit 400 000 a month a year right four hundred thousand dollars so when you're getting and i and i also feel for those individuals that have worked hard their whole life and so it's kind of like that's a that's a uh above my intellect type of conversation

but in basic terms it's like i do feel for people that have worked hard their whole life now they're making a certain amount of money now you're trying to tax them to an extreme amount it whatever extreme it is to them. I don't got to worry about that. I'm not in that tax bracket. I'm just chilling. I'm trying to stay as low-key as possible. Exactly.

You're like, yeah. Orlando, we're going to pay you this much. No, no, no, no. We're not going to do that to me. It got to be under $400, bro. I can't be popping up like that. I don't need more than that. I learned that a long time ago when I was an hourly employee.

After a certain time, over time, you're just giving money back. Right, right. There you go. Play the margins. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago

when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

Yeah. Turns out it's, yeah,

it's something about like sort of just kind of read aligning your schedule and like with your lifestyle and things like that. Like when you've eliminated the commute or just the, the stress, like, I feel like maybe we're similar in that, like having to get out the door is just stressful. And that not having that there,

I'm like, I have so much mental bandwidth to like think of other things rather than like what time is it oh i got 15 minutes gotta wash fuck i need to eat uh fuck it i'll eat something like all that stuff it takes up my mind so much to the point where i like i feel sort of a bit of just from the lack of commute a little bit more like just space in my mind to problem solve like yeah yeah dude like i like like i put like uh i mean when i had to commute places for jobs i would like put my cell phone like in my bathroom on my sink and the second i looked at that got out of the shower i would turn myself on and be like oh shit it's 8 15 if i don't leave by

8 20 i'm gonna have to like yeah whatever so i'll brush my teeth in the car, I guess. You know, and then like, yeah. So it's like that stuff, I don't miss at all. I haven't eaten breakfast while taking a shower in so long. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's like that kind of thing. No one knew what to do with that, Jack. We were all just kind of picturing you eating a burrito in a shower.

Yeah. To buy us a booth. And it's a messy breakfast. It's not a power bar. It's like you're eating French toast. All over his chest. That's why you're eating a shower. Egg McMuffin. You're eating an Egg McMuffin

that you ordered extra runny. Well, the eggs are already wet. That's right. I guess I was thinking about that. When you said that, I paused because I because i was like wait are you a genius is that a thing like is that a thing that can that's like a life hack in like this brutalist like fucking high output productivity nonsense culture where it's like you gotta eat breakfast when you shit and then again when you shower right you put on your hoodie

backwards with your like lunch stuffed in it so you can just like drop it down while you're exactly yeah yeah it's fill up your hoodie with potato salad yeah like for me the dystopian life hack was like i started to bring those like those those tooth like flossing picks in my glove box in my car so that it's like okay i don't have to floss when i'm in my bathroom i can do it while i'm driving yeah if anybody would look at me weird while flossing while driving i'd just be like yeah this is my life and then your steering wheel starts to smell bad and it has little flecks of white stuff all over it that's the one problem yeah but i'm like but i'm just like hey that's like that's a price to pay for corporate efficiency.

To make these dollars for my boss. I need to wash my car. Oh, wait, that's the inside of the windshield. Oh, God. That's the worst. I told you about the extra $8 I made on that PA gig, right? That's how I make the big bucks. Yeah, exactly.

Stuff like that maybe uh i might be overestimating how gross other people's flossing experiences are but mine is a thrill mess it's real oh yeah i mean i floss every day so it's not too bad yeah it's like i floss every morning so it looks like that scene in uh kingpin when randy quaid flosses for the first time and they're like oh my god is that a chicken a whole chicken wing on the piece of floss uh yeah we've all been there all right real quick let's hop back into uh covet news because interpol is warning of possible mafia involvement in vaccines and vaccine heists this is just this shouldn't like change how you feel about the vaccines everybody should get it the second it's available to you um but this is just something that the u.s is managing to fuck up also uh is how we secure

these vaccines um because you know the, anytime there's something that's extremely valuable and there is not a very defined system for distribution, the mafia, organized crime of any sort, is going to try and jump in there and take advantage of the situation. charge of fighting uh vaccine related fraud in the united states for some reason um and in addition to being just like a barbaric institution predicated on cruelty uh it's just wild that they would be put in charge of anything to do with covid uh when their detention centers have been like literally overrun with the virus at like far rates than prisons, 13 times higher rate than the US population. And that's with the numbers they're reporting. The true numbers are probably worse, but there's a lack of transparency and no testing. But yeah, they've been the site of mass outbreaks. And our writer, JM, hit the in canada to report this apparently in 1959 when the polio vaccine was just being distributed in montreal at the height of the of a polio outbreak some

armed men broke into a a lab and stole 75 000 doses of the vaccine. And they like went and recovered it in a refrigerator somewhere. I mean, how are you going to sell hot vaccines? That's right. You know what I mean? Like it's, it seems I'm trying to think of the market. I mean,

I get prior for rich people, you know, where they'd be like, yo, do you have some of those on deck? Okay. Can I get 14 of those? But like,

are you, is somebody, you know, selling like Lucy vaccines at the bodega or something like that? I don't know. Like, where is that? How do you profit off of stealing like 75,000 doses of a vaccine? Yeah.

It's a, it seems like a convoluted way to try to make money, but you know, desperate time. No, actually they're gonna, I'm sure. You'll find a way. They'll find a way you know they'll find a way to sell it i'm i'm you know i'm i'm just like now you gotta bring back all these retired guys you know because the new mafia doesn't know how to do truck hijackers they're new mafias at the gas station trying to steal credit card numbers from the little swiping

machine there you always gotta yank on it i always yank on it yeah gotta make sure it doesn't come out the card i i no i actually yeah i yank on it too and you always uh inside tip uh you always use the pumps that are facing the cashier right because they can see them yeah yeah not the yeah because they won't they won't because it does it's a process it's still a certain amount of time you've got to spend at the pump installing it. So you always use that. You always use that. So I just think they're going to have to call these old guys, man. The Sammy the Bulls and the Hey Man.

How do we do? Yeah, Louie Meatballs. What's the deal? A vaccine heist movie where you have to bring out the old guys from the retirement home to stage the heist. Robert Duvall. Yeah. That's Robert Duvall.

You can't make these. I've heard of things going viral, but you can't make these vaccines digital. Oh, you can't. This is tangible products. You can't transfer this on the web. Yeah. And they get partnered up.

They get partnered up with a bunch of young guys who are trying to be all techie and tech and everything. Justin Long. Right. Well, what we have to do is follow the driver to his home. Right. Then, you know, take his wallet, get his driver's license, you know, and tell him that we know where he lives. And then the young guy's like, we know where he lives. Yeah, we know where he lives.

And we already hacked him. We set up a fake OnlyFans to get him to subscribe to. We got all his info. We have all his info. Okay, so that's out of the way. Okay. Now, we need guns. Oh, where do we get those?

That'll be the question. Right, right. Well, we just print them. We have guns. 3D printed them. Grandpa, we print it. You mean you have guns? Yeah, we 3D printed all the guns.
