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 stravaganza uh yeah so without further ado here is the weekly zeitgeist what is something from your search history um okay so kim cattrall scatting was on the list uh also on the list was final destination composer because there was this uh it was a clip that i was looking for that i vaguely remembered from a final destination dvd

didn't remember which dvd but i was able to find it there's this really great i think that she composed most of the final destination soundtracks And I was really into those movies growing up because they were just so nasty. This is Final Destination 3, a.k.a. The Tanning Booth 1. But it's the Final Destination composer describing her process. And I think they're like setting her up to like really be like, so, you know, being a musician is really hard. But what she does is she has this like little like grosso meter and she's like so when i'm writing for final destination three there's like you i there's a point where i say it's a little gross it's really gross or it's like someone's on fire

and they're dying gross and i just kind of figure out like if it's level one two or three and that's how i write all the music and she has this little like hand-drawn grossometer that has like hand-drawn blood dripping of it and she's like and that's really my whole process and uh and it works and i was like holy it it made me laugh so hard it holds up i will i'll send the clip because i like pulled it for posterity she was so straightforward i i i appreciate that she's like it's not hard i just like that also demystify something like right composition of a film score where i think most people like if you're not a musician you're like i don't even know how what these people fucking do they sit down and start writing notes on a fucking page like what the fuck how is? How is it? And then, but if you're a musician, like you understand the process a little bit more.

And then for me as a musician to hear her just be like, nah, it's real simple, man. Like it's, there's three vibe levels and that sort of determines where I go with it. Like, yes, simple. Perfect. She's so good. Her name is Shirley Walker and she died shortly after the Final Destination 3 came out. She set the tone for Final Destination, and then she arrived at her final destination, I assume peacefully and not like a Final Destination movie. But it made me laugh.

Well, she was driving behind a tractor trailer that was carrying a bunch of logs, right? And rebar. Yeah. Yeah. As peacefully as one can get. And then a thumbtack truck crashed on the road ahead of them anyway. She died as she lived.

This is a level three on the gross auditor. Her own system. But she did so many. And then I went down on the grossometer her own system but she did so many and then I like went down a Shirley Wager hole and like this lady was so goddamn cool she did like the score

for like Escape from LA and True Lies and like all these fun movies and she was like one of the first prominent female film composers and she worked on a grossometer system. I love her.

That's amazing. I love that. Especially like I would like to view that next to another like a director's commentary from those films. Who's like being real pretentious and being like, well, you see what she's just like. No, it's Final Destination. Whoa, she was the music director for Batman, the animated series. Yeah, like, she's cool. Yo, I'm sorry, her death is tragic as fuck.

I mean, it was before, too. Yeah, but, like, she, like, passed away, like, eight months right after her husband passed away. So, yeah, anyway. Rest in power, though. Oh, and she won an Emmy for Batman the Animated Series. She's really cool. I don't know. I feel like there's all these stories like this of pioneers in fields that no one ever talks about.

And then whenever you stumble across it, it's always the coolest story of all time. 100%. I'm like, she's working. Fuck, it worked with Danny Elfman. And then that's what she based the bat all the what the ah this is good she's awesome and so i'll post that clip of her explaining her grossometer composition system because it's great we will put that in the footnotes i respect final destination theination film franchise, like the same way that you respect like a children's book author that just like taps into the mind of a four year old. write a movie when I was 11 years old I would have come up with the Final Destination

like best case scenario I would have come up with the Final Destination movies what if fortune cookies were true they totally nailed exactly what I was looking for in movies when I was like to this day I will not reach my hand into a sink like where there's a garbage compactor incinerator thing blender.

You know, I mean, in sync orator without thinking of Final Destination. Yeah, it's ridiculous. Final Destination three was, I think, the first Final Destination I saw, the one where everyone dies on the fucking roller coaster. And it's Mary Elizabeth Winstead is the lead like there's a bunch of people who ended up getting famous but in this one they're just beheaded on a roller coaster it's so fucking right away gross it's so good yeah it's a level three amanda crew is in final destination three who would have known yeah yo she's a fucking legend she worked with everyone and based on how her credits are working i'm i'm gonna presume she had a lot to do with a lot of these scores because whenever like

you have han zimmer or like these other people it's very collaborative i mean i mean early on a lot of them are doing a lot of composition but like at this level she was worked with danny elfman on dick tracy edward scissorhands oh well dude fucking han zimmer on bird out of wire here most of these yeah i can yeah damn it fucking worked this is this is what a league of their own toys radio flyer with han zimmer renaissance but okay you know what damn okay shirley walk on when she died she had like what it what was it at the time of her death shirley walker had scored more major studio motion pictures than any other american woman she's a badass she's cool wow so that's a that was a fun way to learn about shirley highly recommend going down the shirley hole yeah because like she's conducting like like when these some of these credits at the very least

she was the conductor when they were recording these scores conducting the orchestra or whatever man fucking backdraft and she only lived to be 61 legend legend yeah uh dj justin just put in the chat a detail that i will not be able to unknow is that his best friend's parents house had an automatic garbage disposal unit in their sink. No, that is with a motion sensor. Like, I think it must've like sensed when there was food to chop up. But could you imagine if like the sensor was off a little bit?

No, no, no, no. That is unacceptable. Also, one more thing, just so you know,

fucking a goofy movie. she did a goofy movie yes she conducted and orchestrated the score damn she's uh she's just and she's like just a mom she's like listen it's not hard to compose a final destination score i'm shirley walker like i do difficult things all the time this is not one of them them. I just love it. She's like, I did Edward scissorhands. You fuck wit. Yeah. Fucking around with final destination.

Come on. This is a check to me. Okay. Dude. Arachnophobia. I love it. Child's play too. Where was it?

Where was it? Shirley? She, she really was the moment. She was the moment for decades one of the tools that was created specifically for the scoring oh my god this is the grossometer i i had to pause it because you can't see the video i'm just playing it for everybody it is such it is like a remarkable piece like back when you used to do like a book report project and you had to do like an accompanying like art piece with it this

grossometer is one of the greatest handmade things i've ever seen in my life science project but we thought that grossometer was far more elegant boobs and brains is level one did the artwork for this and we would uh let the orchestra know what the Grosso rating was. So this one was like at about a 60 as it was filmed. But I challenged the orchestra to bring it up with their performance to at least an 80. And I think the performance really, we were close to 100 on that. So level one is boobs and burns. Level two is dismemberment and wiggly guts.

And level three is blood spatter and brain matter. It's so good. Wow. That's good. I needed that. Shirley! I needed that Shirley bless up. I hadn't even, I guess that makes sense.

But burns would seem to be almost as bad as blood spatter but no i guess not like visceral when you're watching something happen right yeah i mean she she would know i guess she's it she's yeah she did final destinations one through three what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are what you're up to all right so here's here's something that's i'm getting back into video games this isn't exciting or fun or anything or funny i'm sorry zeitgeist i'm not here to make y'all chuckle today i'm here to talk serious shit uh i've just started playing seven Years Late, The Last of Us. Oh, shit. And you know what?

When I was younger, in my younger days, when my brain was a little more sharp, it was operating on all levels. I wouldn't go to the internet for walkthroughs or things like that. But fuck that, man. I'm 34 years old. My brain, I ain't got time to be sitting up here trying, trying to find a goddamn dumpster to pull over to a wall if I don't know where it is. So I be hitting these walkthroughs up. I be hitting these walkthroughs up and be like, all right, Last of Us.

And I don't know what the chapters are called. I just be like, Last of Us, stuck in dirty water. And then find what I need. Find what I need. And it come up, and I find it. And it's always the simplest shit. I be like, yeah i walked past that like 40 times uh but yeah man it's it's a fun it's a great game wrong with walkthroughs you know because and you know back in our days the book version the prima guides that they used to put out for a video game i might as well go into the

library to fucking borrow like how to beat tomb raider and shit yeah yeah you used to have to buy books for the game you log through back in the day they don't know man or you do the thing where like you used to go to a bookstore and treat the bookstore like the internet we're like well i'm not gonna buy it but i'm sitting here i'll write everything down and then i'm gonna leave uh there's that too but yeah the last of us is one of those games that really i see like i totally get the walkthrough shit because it's so intense at times like yes it doesn't exactly like you don't come into the same feeling like a call of duty we're like yeah fuck that what's good it's the last of us i'm here to do shit and then you're like oh no yeah the deck the deck is completely stacked

against me and i have to be clever yeah yeah and i'm not clever so yeah me either uh i need i need that help i need that help but i'm almost there i'm at the last chapter so i'm excited to finish it out and beat it all right and then by last of us two my search history is absolutely riddled with a much lamer version of that where it's uh looking up crossword answers just to like get through a crossword puzzle yeah wait how do you do that you just literally search the clue yeah and there's there's all sorts of websites for it like hours after the new york times puts its crossword up you can they have websites that are just on that shit um but yeah i'm not i i am ashamed i should say no don't be ashamed man how the hell you supposed to know everything what's a four letter i don't ashamed i should say no don't be ashamed man how the hell how the hell you supposed

to know everything what's a four letter i don't but i don't know a single one of them i just look them all up okay and i'm like hey and show it to my wife and she's like i don't care i jack's phone bill from all the crossword game puzzle games that he uses but he just buys the hint packs so he's like yeah just for 10 bucks 20 40 50 yeah yeah i haven't gotten a single one in a long time and why do it it's more fun you just hit press hint hint hint hint and then unless you know you type it you type so you're still doing some work you're still doing your thing you know thank you and i respect that i respect it maurice what is something you think is overrated? Oh, my God.

The Coming to America sequel. Oh, is it bad? It's so bad. And the thing about it is that it didn't have to be bad. Right. I think, you know, of course, there's all this stuff about reboots and people want to bring back these sort of, you know, very popular franchises from before. And the movie does some things around. let me be completely honest they do a lot of shit around the old movie it's almost like they had an intern write down every catchphrase that has caught on for that movie in the past 30 years and just like threw darts at a board to figure out where it could go into the movie off the top

of my mind do we get a in the face uh something like that is there sexual chocolate uh yes sexual chocolate is there is there that boy good yeah that's it oh no i'm just thinking right yeah quite literally is there a yes fuck you too i mean i think the fact that a large part of the premise is based on date rape uh rather casually so i should mention what is is a is a harbinger for just how off-tone the rest of the movie kind of is it's it's star-studded cast don't get me wrong wesley snipes tiana taylor eddie i mean great cast yeah horrible plot kenya burris wrote it so it's i know sort of coming to america ish right that's funny part of me like was really i look i knew it came out but part of me was like

i don't want to watch it and it not hit the same and me just ruin my weekend. It's not going to hit the same. I don't care how many edibles you take, how many joints you smoke. It's not going to hit the same. I say that from personal experience, but it's just not going to hit the same. There are laughs, though. I've heard there are laughs. I mean, it's a comedy, so ostensibly there are laughs. i mean it's a it's a comedy so ostensibly there are laughs yeah but actually yeah is this okay but is there there are there's some people that saw it that loved it i mean

you can suspend disbelief and plot holes and flimsy characterization it's probably a very funny movie i'm not saying you have to go into it like thinking about it but it's also just not that good. Right. I mean, the original was an R. This is a PG-13. So that kind of gives you a bit of a sense of how toned down some things are. It's just not that good. Right.

I mean, I saw like a clip. Yeah, I saw a clip that they put on social of like the barbershop and seeing all those characters come back. And my first thought was like, yo, they're still alive. Yeah. First of all yo they're still alive and also they didn't age because with their old makeup but then you look at you look like fucking semi and uh keem and you're like these motherfuckers got old right and the barbers are the same age they're still at the same shop like gentrification hasn't wiped all of that it's ridiculous where he's like i'm gonna sell my brownstone 10 million dollars and i was like okay i get it we got some gentrification

humor in there but it's it's not it's not good is kenny barris from new york because it's a very new york movie i don't know the first one at least it was like a very he's from la i think yeah yeah i mean come on man but they bring back pretty much every character except for lisa's sister and samuel l jackson other than that i think every other character from the movie is probably in there i don't think i don't think the deadbeat landlord is in no he's not in it but no no eric lasalle is not in okay and he made some interview about why he was not going to be a part of it or whatever but it's probably for the best given how bad the movie is right right right right yeah i mean i'm daryl was like you know the iconic bad guy you know with his soul glow and he's getting

his jerry curl juice all over the fucking couch yeah man those those kinds of jokes do not exist in this movie right because those are like super on point that so you're saying it kind of just got overly broad or something like it just they they introduced a lot of new characters there is a lot of it was filmed i think in rick ross's mansion um it's wait is that like a joke or you're saying literally it's not a joke it's not a joke it's like the literal musician rapper rick ross in his mansion like oh because of like covet things no this was this movie was supposed to come out in 2019 they've sat on it for like a whole year wow okay man that that is a real bummer to me that Frankie Faison doesn't come back as the deadbeat landlord because real like people who really like coming to America like those are some of those are some of my favorite lines, right? It's like, yeah, it's a real because like i see a lot of promotion around it i'm seeing a lot of interviews around it i'm not seeing a lot of good i mean twitter people on twitter are like

oh this is hilarious it's not a good movie yeah i mean it seems like everything when you even just search review like it's universally it's like either tepid or they're slamming it yeah lots of musical performances for some reason which are not really i mean there are musical performances in the first movie of course you know she's your queen to be all that you know soul glow theme of course but like gladys knight does a rendition of midnight train to zamunda that's like why we don't need to do that damn there's the description fucked me up marie that's the second detail in a row that I'm like, why is he making shit up? No, Maurice, stop smearing this with this slander. This is all made up.

And the thing is, of course, the Queen to Be song that I think the chancellor or one of the consorts sing is in the credits. It's not even in the actual movie. It's in the credits, sung by John Legend pretty well, but it's in the credits. Yeah. It's just not. I think it's one of in the actual movie it's in the credits sung by john legend pretty well but it's in the credits yeah it's just not i think it's one of the things too like are we like because we we're so close to the original thing too where do you think it will invite a new audience because i know it's i feel like it sounds like how i would feel like when the star wars prequels came i'm

like they don't need to fuck with it like that they have something going but i don't know i just think the comedy was perhaps edgier i think that's true of a lot of comedy like when you go back and watch some of the like true lies is one that like when you when you go back and watch that like there's no way they have that bill bill paxton character saying ass like a 10 year old boy like in a modern movie yeah like the vet gets him wet yeah it's the 90s man because it was basically we turned up the 80s even hotter but like did it with some like nice sheen and cg effects basically yeah it felt like there was more sort of picking at black culture i think a little bit because the dichotomy that's set up in coming to america is like rich affluent africans meet

regular people from new york right and coming to america coming to america that's another reason why it's bad yeah um sort of does this like weird connecticut yan and King Arthur's court kind of thing with with Akeem's bastard son. I mean, I'm ruining the plot a little bit, but like it's not good. It's just not good. Shit. All right. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back.

I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours.

BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it.

That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm.

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning.

In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Señora Sex Ed is not your mommy sex talk.

If you're in your señora era or know someone who is, then this is the show for you we're your host

diosa and mala and you might recognize us from our flagship podcast locatora radio we're so excited for you to hear our brand new podcast senora sex ed listen to senora sex ed on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast and we're back what is uh what's something you think is underrated getting out of bed before 4 p.m i think uh you know i think i feel like just people should try it i've been doing this thing where i i open my eyes i wake up at 9 30 every day probably beautiful i'm not out of bed until uh until 4 30 sometimes i just stare at the ceiling look at my phone and then um and then and that's my whole day i start my day this is the earliest i've been out of bed and we're honored that you would do that for us yeah you know i almost canceled

like it's getting a little bit before four it'll be right there you know yeah yeah what time you go to sleep let me see i wake up at nine so eight yeah so really you sleep from eight to four resting i wouldn't call it sleep i state of rest i it's more like i ruminate it's a deep state of rumination from eight to four of existential dread looking directly at the ceiling yeah you know just pondering i think pondering is a good word for it postulating right right um yeah sleep is not sleep is the least of my worries I think pondering is a good word for it. Postulating. Right, right. Yeah. Sleep is not, sleep is the least of my worries. Take your pick at the moment.

Right. Yeah. I was just in researching this daylight savings article. Like one of the arguments against changing it is that kids will have to go to school in the in the dark if we don't like do the daylight savings thing okay well if you're familiar with the american education system you know these kids are already in the dark that's what to say have you based on our history books everyone has been in the dark for quite some time now you gotta open your third eye children that's also a made-up problem because kids shouldn't have to go to school at like six in the morning every morning like they should yeah like doctors say they should be going to school

late like 9 30 yeah that's insane yeah it's like how far are we gonna go to the that we we have to shelter kids from the concept of nighttime right like yeah okay you can see the sun when it's down but it's got to be at six in the morning you can't you gotta you know you gotta slowly introduce kids to it you know yeah they gotta know it's coming out in a in a half hour or so right oh man i mean hey we made it with daylight savings we were fucked about by this unpredictable timeline that we call our time system or whatever this is, but the time system. Yep.

Yeah. The time system. Yeah. But yeah, just like what they said was the other thing we always, cause we brought this up on the show before, like there's more car accidents, people getting just,

it's just, it's just doesn't help anybody. Like there's physical ramifications that play out statistically when you do this shit. Yeah. We're adaptable. We'll, we'll figure it out if it's happening slowly over the course of time but why like just throw a curveball at us in the middle of the year yeah also we're not all farmers we're not we're like mostly not

farmers uh yeah at this point yeah like statistically statistically if you look at the numbers the number of people who are not farmers, pretty high. There's so many of them. Most of them. These days, so many people not farmers. And you hate to see it. You hate to see it. We're losing God and farm.

Thank you. You know, people talk about white people as the majority all the time. But, you know, if you look at the numbers, it's really people who are not out farming. Non-farmers. Kenny, what is something you think is overrated? I feel like the impact of Twitter. That's something I've learned. Things keep happening on Twitter and I'm like, oh my God. And then I'll talk to someone that's not on there and they're like, what are you talking about? No one knows. I went on the road last fall and I had all these

jokes about stuff on twitter and people in ohio were looking at me like i was from a different planet they were like we don't we watch the local news what is this mr potato heads has a gender what are you talking about you know like no one no one cares about people on twitter talking about and so um and like this whole thing is people like ah cancel culture it's like Yeah you're cancelled on Twitter to like 2000 people that don't leave their house No one cares everyone's fine You know

It's interesting to see that the difference of like How people Look at the things that are happening on Twitter As it relates to like outside IRL Reality and the stark Contrast in it is really something I think it really you think it's really good to like embrace the fact how overrated it is in the context of if you have

like social media induced anxiety like if you're on twitter and you start being like oh shit i'm doom scrolling i think the world's fun to get off that shit for a second and remind yourself you live in the real world and go talk to people like in your community like that's that's the realest shit to twitter you have like because those are people you will rely on at some point not fucking avatars who are like yeah right well that's like another thing i learned in that tour i was in the middle of the country and if you like read twitter everyone in the middle of the country is a racist idiot and you like go out thinking that and then you do shows and people are like thanks for talking

about that stuff or i don't know it's just like right it's not as stark it's not as black and white as twitter makes life seem yeah it definitely helps contribute to that cruel world syndrome that people can get and i think especially when in a year like the last one we've had where we've unfortunately not had the ability to go out into physical space that much and connect with people on that level yeah that's that's a good point of to why the trauma of this year is like part of it is induced by the media we consume whether that's broadcast media or social media yeah i feel like twitter's uh use right now is to like bubble up stories that then the mainstream media might find useful like the the dr seuss thing uh that we're going to talk about later would have in any you know

ordinary universe been a story that just existed on twitter but because the the fox news kind of ecosphere needed a story to focus on and drown out another story they didn't want to talk about it became like a thing that i feel like everybody's heard about right and i think yeah to your point though too jack of like surfacing stories it's like depending on the ideological bend of something it's like it's basically ground zero for the culture wars like all the culture war stories are mostly extracted from twitter on some level like obviously aside from like policy things but there are a lot of things that are coming out of discourse on twitter that then evolve into some

larger culture war point and then you have dr suits has gotten canceled and it's like what because one person pointed out some shit about it earlier, and that tweet blew up. And da, da, da, da, da. So. It drowns out the good part. Because also, there's been some great things. Like, to your point about bubbling up stories,

I don't think police brutality gets the traction that it has gotten without social media, without Twitter, without real time. But then everybody wants to be involved, and so people start bubbling up their story. And it's like, not now. Can we focus on this? I don't need to know. I don't need to talk about Dr. Seuss.

Yeah. Last night, as we all hopefully know by now, or I guess Saturday night, Sunday morning, the clocks sprung forward. We lost an hour of sleep. So it means the sun will be setting later. It'll be rising later. But that's OK, because the days are going to get longer. There's some momentum happening in Washington for legislation to basically never do basically never fall back to standard time like what so basically the the way the schedule works there's four months out of the year where we are on standard time the rest of the year we're on daylight savings time so we're currently on daylight savings time right now and that is the time that is basically made the most sense for the modern world and the idea would basically

be to get rid of standard time uh which i guess would just mean making daily savings time standard time but the point is we only use standard time for four months out of the year anyways not that many people really use it it's actually counterproductive i guess it's to allow farmers to wake up early there we go see this big farmer agenda again we already give them the upper house of our fucking legislature like why do we need to but yeah like why is it called standard yeah see that's what's fucking people up. Yeah, that's so weird. Also, hearing it be like, you know, nobody even fucking uses standard time. It's like, conceptually, it's just so weird to even think about.

Like, no, I don't use that time. That form of time. For four months, you're just floating through a formless fourth dimension. I don't fuck with standard time. Yeah, I'm not really on a schedule bro you know it's like i spend all four months on peyote mr burns when he's glowing and shit oh yeah alien don't be afraid so they first introduced daylight savings time in world war one and then brought it back during world war ii and it was to save fuel and it's like you know we it's not like we're living

through a existential disaster right now that would be nice to save energy and stop like stop burning as much fuel now it's like let's just go back to that shit like i mean we are but more long term but then right yeah no that's what i'm saying like that's what we need to do we need to oh yeah this would say so it would save energy one of the one of the big reasons that people point out for like let's keep doing doing it the way we've been doing it is that kids would have to go to school in the dark and like that can be dangerous just make kids go to school later like what that that's another thing that has been studied by science and is like yo this is this would be much better

they did a study where they moved the kids start time back 45 minutes and they were like healthier uh happier better at school like what the fuck it also stops sheltering your kids so much they are gonna have to experience nighttime at some point. Maybe it'll be good for them to go to school before the cops wake up. Right. It could be in and out before all the SROs get there. I mean, what the fuck is the... Okay, I get it.

I guess it's so dark or whatever. The more you started saying all these arguments about going against why we still keep it. I'm like, yeah, what what really was the point of it all? And like with school. Yeah, it absolutely should start later, regardless of the daylight savings. Yeah, regardless. Because I ask any teacher, ask any person who had been in high school, junior high. I could never fucking stay awake

because I'm already going through adolescence. My body's doing all kinds of crazy shit. I'm trying to grow. And on top of that, I'm like, can barely, I would need nine hours of sleep. So to wake up at 6.30 to try and make class, I'm already walking in like shit.

Help the kids. Yeah. Yeah, I pulled the study about waking up later from a study that had nothing to do with daylight savings time. It was just about the American Academy of Pediatrics is just like, yo, we need to start sending kids to school later.

We are making them sick by waking them up this early. So that's just a benefit. Let them stare at the ceiling until 4 p.m right thank you thank you thank you you do a thought leader on sleep science but like wait because what are they saying the standard should be for a school like for school to start uh they did 45 minutes later so they they just studied like a shift from uh in one school district and moved it back 45 minutes and saw improved sleep

reductions and tardiness, dramatic improvements to behavior problems, like dramatic improvements to behavior problems. And so they issued a recommendation that no school start earlier than eight 30, no middle or high school. Cause that's when like people start you're getting weird yeah yeah things things start getting a little weird although i don't know

why like why send kids so early in the first place just because like parents i guess go to work so early and so they need to like drop their kids off just let parents come to work a little bit later you assholes like what the fuck or fucking work less how about that we've all found out people don't need to be working all these hours they work uh but look now we're describing some fucking commie utopia now and like get your head out jack because that ain't never happening yeah this commie utopia uh is being forwarded by a super progressive left winger marco rubio he's like he's driving a lot of the i think he's just like maybe we should just let him always love only work on shit that like doesn't really matter and is depoliticized maybe as good ideas on on other shit but he's always been on this

you're right right well because can you imagine though just because marco rubio like now you got like chuck schumer being like oh this is this is racism i i think they've i think they've got like a bipartisan commission fortunately yeah right thank god i mean this just feels like because everything's so partisan right yeah i cannot wait for all the uh for all the liberals to be like you know black people would people would thrive more in standard time. Yeah. Like, what? You notice productivity in African-Americans rises for four months a year? Where do you think that comes from?

Thanks, Coach Saban. I'll just lift the waist over here. But, yeah, dude, my fucking high school started at 7 45 i wasn't walking into that motherfucker dead as shit you know i i had totally forgotten how early school was until i had kids and then i was like what the fuck like they they even go late like they get there at 8 30 but like that's still like fucking early And then they get out at like the kids in the upper school get out of like two thirty or like three o'clock. It's like, why are we doing it? Why do we just shift everything way the fuck forward?

Oh, but you know what, though? It's because of the way it's set up, though, though, is like that allows us in our like puberty, adolescent teen years to really fuck up and make mistakes. Yeah, to go fuck around and find out. Life began for me at 2 p.m. Oh, i mean oh yeah that's where i was that's where my education fucking started but that's probably also why like sports like sports is another big argument for why we need uh because like kids would have to like it wastes energy to have to light a football field for practice or whatever so kids would have to leave school a little bit early to play sports but like that it's just like first of all kids don't need to play sports if they're getting out and their like family is already off

of work when they're getting out of school so like yeah i don't know also maybe uh spend that money on things that enrich kids lives as opposed to like the other shit you're spending fucking money on right you know right maybe lighting a football field is a little bit more beneficial to that kid's life than uh than fucking having cops at the school you know yeah or like food or food or food like there's the amount of poverty that's being experienced by students too it's like but i i just in general like i i know so many people who and i don't know if it was because of the pandemic but this this year when daylight saving or i guess standard time hit it just seemed like the sun was going down at fucking noon like it was just going down so early

this winter i think just because everybody was kind of in a noon like it was just going down so early this winter i think just because everybody was kind of in a bleak mood it just like uh piled on but fuck yeah i think time was just moving different i don't know what happened i don't know if uh i don't know if time got like a big check time was just acting different time is definitely hitting different right now. Yeah. Time was like, yeah, I got a new whip. I got a new baby mama. I got all that.

Damn, time slowed down. Bro, why are you acting different, man? You know me. It's me. Just cashed out my whole daylight savings. Got a Tesla. You know what I mean? mean there there's a buzzfeed quiz uh that uh claims with a lot of confidence uh that they're gonna tell you how old you are based on your uh food preferences just picking 60 fucking items

off a list they're saying we'll fucking we'll zero in on your ass knowing if you like just pick just click what you like off this 60 item menu motherfucker and we'll know what carbon date your ass will cut you in half and count the rings so i just want to first allow people to know what's on this list because it's interesting they're the way they're trying to triangulate things the first 30 are definitely like young people right dishes acai bowls avocado toast impossible burger crone nut kombucha charcoal ice cream okay fine zoodles cold press juice you get it and then the next list is more like okay let's see how how old you are with it ambrosia meatloaf fig rolls butter pecan ice cream which i was like well hold on don't act like there's an age to

butter but that shit is yeah what the fuck coles the fuck? Coleslaw, potato salad, fruitcake, licorice, jello, oatmeal, raisin bran, shit like that. So I went through, I clicked what I like, and I will report that with near, I will be 37 this year. It said I am 38 years old.

And it got me within two years. It said I was 38, and I'm 40. And it got me within four. It said I was 38 and I'm 40. And it got me within four. It said I was 38. I'm 34. But I'm an old soul. There you go. See, damn.

So we all clocked in at 38? Yeah. Maybe that's just what. Maybe it's just like our average readership is 38 years old. Just tell everybody they're 38. I just did an experiment where i picked none on the first screen and picked like the ones that i chose from the second screen uh and it said i was 50 and the wording we were close weren't we if not there's probably a food or two you checked off

that you don't actually like what easy all right guys settle down the fuck fool like there was a couple that were like a clear trap it was like jello molds and it's like okay you're just trying to hard literally hard candies it's like come on that's that's you know what they almost caught me though because i was thinking because i like i was like well what kind you know i said i like hard candies i like jolly ranchers i like fucking blow pops but they made it look like the grandma grandpa candy dish right never that you were always disappointed you pull the candy out of as a kid and the jello is actually just jello it's not jello molds but they do use a picture that looks like the old ass jello molds from like a 70s cook yeah. Pretzels is an old person food. No,

I mean, pretzels, I think is it's timeless. Timeless. They're timeless. Yeah. I think grapefruit juice is in the old person category. I'm assuming because it's with all the,

it's with like tapioca pudding. I know. What is that? Like tapioca pudding is like, that's, that's what they serve to people whose, whose teeth have failed them. I clicked, I clicked it. I like tapioca pudding. like that's that's what they serve to people whose whose teeth have failed them i clicked i clicked it i like tapioca pudding i love it it's so good uh well all right so maybe

you did right okay y'all take the quiz too let us know how accurate it is yeah i'm curious if like i'm wonder if you know i'm sure there's some data nerd there who knows like there's probably ones that are really loaded. Right. You know what I mean? That will swing the age at certain points. So do some sleuthing. I'll get back to us.

Yeah. Meatloaf definitely pulled me up like five years because I checked the shit out of meatloaf. Yeah. But I feel like, oh, so you're 70. We thought you were 25. But there's like so many like new spins on meatloaf out there, like in the on the blog, you know, the food blogs that I could see that being popular one. Whole milk makes me old. Fuck out of here.

What was it? This ended up being a bizarre situation. But my landlord was having some stuff dropped off at our apartment and was like, Hey, someone's going to be dropping off some stuff. And I was like, Okay, no problem. And then the guy got there and he was just like he dropped off it was like cleaning something i don't know it was some landlord shit and then the guy was like by the way do you guys want churros and i was like what do you mean and

and then we were like talking to him for 10 minutes about his churro business and he was like you know i'm trying to get to gluten-free i'm not quite a gluten-free but i am at dairy-free and like he just and then he was like i could come back in 20 minutes with like a shitload of churros and we were like okay and then so if you live in la and you want these churros i'll plug him it's at hippie churros and hippie churros at hippie Churros. Hippie Churros? At Hippie Churros. They're not gluten-free yet, but they are dairy-free. Don't need them to be. I've been munching on them for a whole day,

and it was not how I expected that delivery from my landlord to go, but it was the first human interaction I'd had in several days, and it went so well because it because then i got a bunch of delicious reasonably priced churros straight to my door sounds like a like a scene from how to with john wilson and then my landlord had someone drop stuff off and we talked and it turns out he wanted to talk a lot about churros so i followed him to his churro factory and they're pretty good and then the guy's like yeah i got him to almost they're not gluten

free but they're dairy free he's that was the fourth time he said that in the in 10 minutes if it had been i mean it's like because it's like i do have time if it were safe it would have been fun to invite him in and be like what what's your story, man? Because he was wearing sunglasses that were the shape of stars. Oh, I was hoping for a surprise. And they had yellow lenses. And I was like, this guy's a businessman. He's wheeling and dealing.

That's what that tells me. A guy's wearing star-shaped sunglasses. I'm like, I better take this guy seriously. And I can vouch for the churros. They're delicious. I'm like, I better take this guy seriously. And I can vouch for the churros. They're delicious. I'm loving them. And what kind of cut are you getting off of these churro recommendations?

I just love a local business. And I love an assertive person showing up. I feel like I would not have gotten to that point in the conversation. So I, I really, I want to figure out how to like have that John Wilson, Jamie Loftus, like finding out what's interesting about people.

I would, I would just don't slam the door in people's faces. I would just be, it's not that I, I'm not like mean. I'm just like, so avoidant and like shut off that I would never be, it's not that, I'm not like mean. I'm just like so avoidant and like shut off that I would never be able to get to the point

of him offering to sell me churros, I think. You just got to say yes to life, Jacob. That's what it is. The man shows up in the star-shaped sunglasses. You say, tell me more. You say, say less to that man. And now I'm like, does my landlord know him? Is it like, I don't, I wasn't clear on like that.

I don't know. The landlord's like, you didn't eat his churros, did you? Yeah, but I contacted her and she was just like, oh, you didn't eat those churros. It's like the ring. It's like seven days to live. No, they're delicious. At Hippie Churro, if are delicious. At hippie churro. If you want some delicious,

groovy churros, that's how they advertise themselves. Delicious, groovy churros. You're plugging this so hard. I feel like what you did was take a first bite in front of them that you didn't like. And you're like, Oh,

wow. You like them, right? These are good. Oh, no, no. You hate them,

don't you? No, I love them. I'm going on a podcast tomorrow. Actually, where I'm going to tell people about how much I like. Yeah, you're fucking lying. No, I swear. Starman, Starman, Starman. It's okay.
