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. Yeah. So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. Well, Miles, we are thrilled to be joined by a very funny stand-up comedian, writer, and poet who you know from such places as TV. Have you heard about this? Go on.

I heard about it. What about it? Harvard Review. What? Her amazing podcast, In Your Hands, it's the hilarious and talented lizzie cooper oh my god i am beyond thrilled to join you today oh man we're thrilled to have you here it's an honor very eclectic uh credits maybe your show is uh your show is so cool oh thank you i wish i had faith in our listeners like that.

It's called In Your Hands because you put your life in the hands of your listeners. Yeah. And they get to vote. It's ruining my life. And it's like major shit. It's major shit. It's absolutely insane. I almost started myself on fire a few weeks ago.

Yeah. I had a task rabbit. It's a long story. First, I was trying to put this dresser together. The episode was called Guy I Met or Dresser Roulette. Do I go out with this guy who I met outside a food truck one night, you know, at a bar or do I play a game of dresser roulette where I go through my phone and text the last 10 romantic interests?

Will you help me build an Ikea dresser? and text the last 10 romantic interests, will you help me build an Ikea dresser? This was like a three episode long saga and it ended with me having to call a task rabbit who came over and I saw in the task rabbit's bio that he was a fire performer. What? Yeah, and I asked him about it and he goes,

I could pretty safely set you on fire. What? And I was like, you mean like at a comedy about it and he goes, I could pretty safely set you on fire. What? And I was like, you mean like at a comedy show? And he goes, yeah. And I was like, and an episode is born. Yeah. Wow. And so, yeah.

So that was one of the options. So the next episode was called This is Fire or This is Us. Do I let this guy set me on fire at an outdoor comedy show? Or do I become a tour guide for the TV show This is us? Do I let this guy set me on fire at an outdoor comedy show? Or do I become a tour guide for the TV show, This Is Us? And I am officially a tour guide for that show now.

Wait, what does that mean? What does that mean? I found it in Backstage Magazine. I was just looking up like, oh, what can I do this week? Because I always wanted to be something kind of interesting or just have some kind of stakes involved.

And it said, we're seeking people in LA to take, you know, tourists to different locations. It would be me basically. Like the filming locations. Yes, exactly. Being like,

this is where the crock pot blew up. Oh, a spoiler. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, fuck you. Spoiler alert.

That's when they die. That's when we find out. Right. Isn't that, isn't that when the dad dies? No, that's actually an air fryer. Oh, I'm still on. I'm still on the second episode. Oh, God. I started watching because too many people are like, yo, it's so emotionally manipulative. I'm like, let me see this. And I'm like, my.

Oh, I mean, it's underscored with every scene is delicate piano music. Yeah. And I keep telling people that, like, every every episode has at least one monologue based on whatever object is writing in front of them. Right. You know, like you guys, it could be like some say life is like a hat. Put it on. Right. And, you know, the day is going to go well. But sometimes you can't find your hat.

And that's when you lose God or something like that. And that's when your dad died. Yeah, exactly. Because my hat blew off in the wind. And that's when your crockpot blows up. Is he in the middle of a monologueologue about crock pops being like life when it blows up and kills him no no it's not like that it's a little more dramatic there is a scene they do that with nachos and i knew it was coming i'm watching the scene and it's you know a couple late

at night their marriage isn't going well they're eating nachos and the woman goes you know life is like a plate of nachos i'm like no i'm, I'm starting again. I could feel it coming on. And she was like, sometimes you get the top nacho that has a lot of cheese on it. And then there's the middle nacho and that's fine. But sometimes you just get the crumbles and I don't want the crumbles in this marriage. Right.

If we both pick up a nacho that's connected at the same time, I want to figure out how to equitably split that nacho between us. And not have it be this passive-aggressive push-pull back and forth over who will get the nacho that's stuck. Oh my God, there's just a writer in the writer's room like, how are we going to work in guacamole? They have to figure out every angle. I'm not going to play whack-a-mole with the relationships and our problems like a bowl of whack-a-mole. I think it's wild when shows have those tropes that are predictable because my wife, Her Majesty, the one that is alive, she watches like Grey's Anatomy. And every time I sit down and watch, I'm like, there's always like a seemingly regular thing.

And then they're like, like a pregnant woman is like, I like i gotta go to the hospital then it's like a car accident over out of nowhere like it always has these weird stakes where she'll even call it she's like watch this person's probably gonna die like inexplicably in three seconds and then they do and i'm like right she's like it's gray and then they tie it up with the monologue at the end yeah gotta love meredith yeah oh man sorry i've been distracted for the past 15 minutes just thinking about how much life is like a nachos in so many different ways holy shit wait what are the significant locations like when you go on this tour so well she so she sent me the list of locations some of which are i told her i would

keep it confidential well i guess i have to keep confidential where they are exactly, but it would be like, you know, this is where someone's office is or this is like, because the house. Exteriors and shit, right? Yes, exactly. Okay. It would be, it's going to be a lot of time in a hot car probably. Right. And you should definitely go on the tour.

Yeah. Oh, y'all, Zeitgang, if you want to do something fun in L.A., hit up Lizzie's... I think we might have to do it, Miles. Seriously. I just have a lot of questions. A lot of questions. Oh, okay. I haven't seen the show, so I don't know about that.

Okay, what's next? Well, I'll act out the entire season for you on the tour. Thank you. Okay, I also have these nachos I got from 7-Eleven. Can you possibly string together an interesting metaphor about how my crumbling marriage is like these? Like these feta crumbles? All right. And up next, like, so are you in suspense? Like, are you trying? I can't imagine if there was a regular vote on what was going to happen in my life. I feel like I would be doing nothing but refreshing. Have you found out if you're driving Uber

or throwing away half of your belongings this week? I have found out, yes. I got the results today, Friday. And so they vote every thursday in my instagram stories i wake up either horrified right or elated depending on the results and then i i do the thing right away oh my god so what is it what well this is daily well i reveal it on the next episode okay okay i reveal it on the next episode. Okay. Oh, okay. I reveal it on the next episode. No, I love that. We only spoil This Is Us on this show. Right, right, right. Yeah, we will not spoil In Your Hands. But the episode before was called Spots or Slots.

And it was, should I try to become a regular at the Laugh Factory and get more stand-up spots? Which auditioning at the Laugh Factory, you have to wait outside at 4.30 p.m. Like during the heat wave. It's like people sitting out there with like lawn chairs and monster energy drinks. Probably doing their act to the wall. You know, people are like practicing. Bleak. Bleak.

Right. Jack, we should go. And then there was a kind of a gambling option as the other one. Yeah. It's a lot of fun. People should go check it out. Thank you. What is something from your search history i googled incanto screenplay pdf to see if i could find a pdf of the screenplay for the movie incanto and i and i did find it i was guessing that's what

you were looking for those are good a good search term for that. Thank you. It was successful. Well searched. What are you doing with the script? Oh, I wanted to take a look to see how old the Mirabelle character is supposed to be when she's grown up or throughout most of the movie. I couldn't tell if she was a teenager, an adult. Wasn't sure.

We're about to cover it on the Bechdelcast. So I wanted to... Yeah. Watch out world. I mean, seriously though, that is a great episode that I'm very excited to listen to. What did you find out? Or should we tune in to

find out? It's a big... Yeah, it's too big of a... No. She is 15. Oh, okay. So right, yeah. I could see that.

That's definitely on the young side, but I feel like movies always, in the described age, like air on the young side, you know, like Chief Brody from Jaws was actually 17 years old. You didn't realize that? Because they just want it to be like young, sexy, you know?

Right. So they'll just always go young. Well, because I assume she was older because, I mean, that character design, yeah, could be a 15-year-old, but also could be like a 25-year-old. I wasn't really sure. And then the voice actor is like a full adult. So I was like, she's like 21 like a full adult so i was like she's like 21 right uh no it turns out she's a teenager right i haven't seen it what is what what does the what's the character's function to the narrative that makes the protagonist ever heard of that

uh no because i haven't taken your class so i don't know fancy script words like that you mean the main character why haven't you taken my class wait that's incanto wait what canto that's incanto so she's incanto yeah yeah she's she's in canto i'm sorry you're watching with your old uncle which one's in canto oh got it got it got it so wait so is it sort of vague and if you're like so because she straddles like this sort of age group you're like are you looking at this as an adult or a child that's not even important to the story i was just i always you know do my recap and i wanted to like accurately say like oh we because we meet her when she's like a child at the very beginning and then i

was like flash forward to her as and i wasn't sure if I should say teenager or adult. Got it, got it, got it. So this is all very, like, it's not super important to the story how old she is. I just like to be as accurate as possible. I love accuracy. Exactly. And we just revealed something about who you are. You respect accuracy.

You're not out here just throwing out concepts. Exactly. She's like, yeah, flash forward to her in an older vibe and uh but i do do that sometimes because sometimes info's not there right exactly you get i think of a good like how old that character is supposed to be mystery and i'm coming up blank but honestly let us know uh paddington no one understands how old paddington is or is supposed to be except for you i feel like you're just like nobody else gets it he's he's ageless 375 times 15 15 times actors pretended not to be their age in tv and movies but fooled absolutely nobody i guess that's yeah that's a little

different concept yeah yeah what is something you think is overrated i would have to say getting on an airplane earlier like being the first to board an airplane i know some people might disagree for like overhead bin space but uh i do not want to spend any more time on the plane than i have to especially because i feel like you know especially recently like there have been so many horror stories of like oh we're sitting there for six hours at the gate before we take off and like all this stuff so why add any more misery to that than you have to so what's your what's your how does your timing work like do you you're like fuck it i'll be in group fuck out of here at the end i don't care like i don't like what what's your what's your methodology to

ensure that like if you are if you're in an early group you're like you know i'm gonna i'll go with everybody else at the end yeah sometimes i'll do that and it's also like so we have a really small airport in my town and so it's like there are like the planes are so small that your bag doesn't fit in the overhead anyway so everybody always has to like check it plain side and so right i'm just kind of used to that but yeah i just kind of hang out the gate it's it's fun to like watch everybody like jockeying to get you know their premiere status points whatever you know just like watch all that unfold at the game. It's like the equivalent of dudes in the key when a free throw is about to be shot.

And they're like, hold on, I'm about to get my hip in front of this. Box out like, yeah. The little arm thing they do where they put their arm on top of each other. I like to do that with a stranger if I'm sitting next to them on a plane. Just put my arm above theirs just to make sure they know who's who's boss and you're like what group are you in they're like a you're like oh my okay my bad yeah i like to i like to get in there early you know fill up all the overhead space with just every everything i have with me and then just establish a very wide stance in my seat in the taking your jacket out of your bag and putting it in there yeah

i definitely like i i now especially with like mask off plane like riding i'm like yeah i'll go i'll take as a few breaths in there as i need to now but in the before times when bin space was at a premium i was fucking shameless like jenna i would i will con man my way onto like and if we have any uh armed forces uh people in the military active duty i'm like yeah right here okay like i gotta get in here bro i see everybody got a fucking rolly bag and i'm not tricking this shit i will steal some valor you're like counting the rolly bags like people card count yes okay that's 45 have you ever done that we're in trouble we're in trouble here i've never done that oh i have i well not like that you know sort

of precise but i am like oh i don't like these ratios do you do you have you ever met people who are such professional travelers like they're like george clunian up in the air like they're like George Clooney and up in the air. Like they're like, oh, I like this flight because it flies in 747 from like this year. And like those are actually really good. And like you just want to sit in business class. And it is usually like business people who travel for business a lot. Well, yeah. You got to know what the configuration is up there. Yeah.

Yeah. Is it 2-3? Is it 2-2? It's a surprise every time I get on a plane. I'm like, wow, it's a big one. Wow. It goes up in the air. And yeah, that's the surprise.

I look at the people around me. I'm like, what? Yo! It's a sunshaker. Oh, my. Oh, my God. Where are we going? Yeah. I've never been on one of these buses before. What is something you think is underrated? Diet soda.

You might think what? It's very popular. What'd you say? I said you're consistent, Allison. Yeah. Listen, here's the deal have you tried it it's so good it is so much it is so much better than water it's not even close oh my god i like the water is you were struggling with this i feel like last time oh was i did i talk about it no i mean in some not that it's the exact same thing but i

feel like this has been something i'm you're like i think water's all right but you're like the fucking diet though i don't know i wondered did i say water was overrated i can't remember either way i do feel water is overrated um here's the thing i was off of diet soda. And I'm not even talking about Diet Coke or Coke Zero. Ever since I had clear braces as a teenager, the braces themselves didn't stain, but the rubber bands did. I'm a fan of the clear diet options. And I got off of them for a long time. And I was drinking water like all the other human beings. Right.

And no, I don't like it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Just, I'm an automaton. I drink water. I go to bed. I get up.

I go through my day. Right. You know, like a robot. That is a good impression of me. Yeah. No, I, do you enjoy, if you enjoy water, that was an impression of you. But anyway, I recently backslid. Now I'm drinking diet seven up again.

And oh, my God, you guys tried this stuff. Seriously, I had forgotten how good it was. I realize I sound like someone who is like doing heroin again. And I'm like, oh, my God, have you tried it? It really takes all your pain away it's so good but like oh my god i it's so much better than water everyone try it it is really diet seven up all right so good refreshing it's crisp it's thirst quenching now when i go to bed i put a can of it next to my bed along with my water

both the middle of the night it's so bad i recognize this so you don't mind it being a little warm you you'll take a warm guys i prefer it whoa oh my god bad you guys and i'm now i'm embarrassed you got kids allison you got kids and you're living like that? You prefer it warm. Diet 7-Up by the bed? Like that is true. Do you pre-crack it? How does that work? So you don't wake up? No, actually.

Actually, no, because I don't want to wake up my husband and I don't want him to know. I have it in a camel pack under my pillow. I slept through the night and I didn't crack the can and i woke up and i was like good for me there you go yeah that's true that's gross warm i feel like warm beverages like really forces you to take in the full flavor profile of a thing worths and all want so i mean a true devotee how warm a drink needs to be down to drink it like room temp. Room temp, yeah. I don't, yeah.

I don't want it hot. Sure. Okay, well, that's good. We're making progress. We're making progress here. I don't want it like swim to Bill's pool. Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah.

You know, room temp or below. Yeah. Okay, good. This is a cry for help. So, Allison, you should next. Announced it. I think it's going to get up to like the 90s in like a week. Leave a can out for a few hours in the sun and drink it and see if you get superpowers.

I feel like you might based on what just like how energized you are talking about. I feel like something with the sun's energy just beamed into it might take it up a notch just try it just was there like a theory you had about one flavor of la croix that was really good warmed up oh yeah passion fruit passion fruit it's an air freshener yeah if you leave a passion fruit la croix opening in your car on a hot day your car smells great fantastic it's easy. These are the life hacks of our world crumbling into climate change.

Yeah, exactly. See, Passion Fruit LaCroix, and I don't really like LaCroix, but the Passion Fruit especially has like almost a musky funk to it.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader

Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is

record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.

What was that? 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. dream sequence is a new horror thriller from blumhouse television iheart radio and realm listen to dream sequence on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts and we're back and you know queen elizabeth i don't know how do. How do you put into words? What can you put into words? Hath passed on to the netherworld. And this event hath created many a reaction from around the world. From former colonies demanding their shit back.

Yeah. To Kanye seeing the light. It is clear that this was a significant event for many people in their own ways. Kanye for real just is like, this really put some shit into perspective for me. So stupid! He put, life is precious on his Instagram. Releasing all

grudges today. Leaning into the light. Best wishes and blessings to Pete, Cuddy, and Daniel Cheery. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing. So he's sprocking all his beefs. So crazy.

Yeah. Did he actually post that with a black background? There was one where apparently he posted one where the queen had Yeezy shades on. No. Yes. And it deleted it. That's alleged that there was a post that went up with her in shades. And it's like, okay, never mind.

Let me pay some more respect. And the one that's on his page now are like pictures of her and her youth. This kind of makes me wonder what he was like in elementary school. Right. Because I used to do stuff like this. Like if a paper was due, I'd have to put my unique spin on it. Like,

right. I, you know, I'm not going to do a book report, but I'll choreograph a dance with flashlights. You know, I think a little bit differently, Mrs. Campbell. This is my skin. Yeah.

I mean, I guess it was it really shook him to his core. So he is no longer going to go after that. I mean, bless his heart. I'm sure he'll say some wild shit pretty quickly. More collages to come. Yeah, exactly. say some wild shit pretty quickly more collages to come yes exactly but looking around you know you look at the people of south asian colonies former south asian colonies um and just as a primer you know the british extracted over a minimum 40 trillion dollars from the subcontinent

between 1765 and 1938 so you know a lot of fucking wealth was stolen from that. And one of the main ways that occurred was like through basically the British would collect taxes on goods in India, then use the taxes, those funds they just collected to then buy shit from these people and then send it to England or sell it on for fucking, you know, astronomical fees to other countries. But essentially, they're just like inbuilt theft, which the main because that number 40 trillion is um that's based on what's recorded yeah that's what that that but it's such a big number that i had a hard time getting my mind around it and so like the gdp of the united states right now in the year 2022 is 24.88 trillion so yeah that that is an entire united states that was stolen from them and more yeah and more and way more and again that's based off the records they could find that's why again historians that actually have an eye on this kind of shit they're like this is again at a fucking minimum where they kept the receipts they were like we're gonna do this theft and keep receipts for it which not

always the first instinct like then redeem it for a free pazuki right and a lot of historians been like it would have been a lot more clear if the person who's collecting taxes and then the quote-unquote buyer of goods was actually just the same person but really that one person came for the taxes then someone was like hello i'm here to buy this thing just so you know my pockets are filled with the money that they just shook you down for okay here you go and i'll take that and you have nothing again so yeah i think reparations might be in order there as many people have pointed out but one of the most controversial stolen items from the former colony is the Koh-i-Noor diamond. And it's breathtaking.

You know, at the time, it was one of the largest diamonds on Earth. So naturally, it had to be taken to be given as a gift to Queen Victoria to put in her crown. And the diamond is valued right now like $400 million. Other people would just simply describe it as priceless. And this is something the British government has refused to give back on numerous occasions. I think right now it's in like the Tower of London Museum or something. And eventually, I believe Camilla will probably also get to rock that thing. Wow. Deservingly so. I mean, she's put up with so much. So much. She's just a fun time. We did it, Joe. We did it, Joe. You know know she's having a she really did it but again like this

has been something the british government has always been like ah we're not really giving that shit back like straight up right yeah how do you give it back like do you i'm picturing i mean the way in which you would have to deliver i'm picturing daenerys targaryen or would you be really sly about it just sneak it in with their postmates right i don't know you know how do you well considering how fucking rigid they've been in terms of like reckoning with the history of colonial rule there i don't know what they do like david cameron when he visited india once he was asked directly about returning the diamond his quote back was literally they're not having that back they're not having that back right like wow like someone's like deadwood dvd set the thing

you have that is theirs they're not having yeah they're not having that back they're like if you bring it back within 300 years you get a store credit right who knows what they're gonna die so now many south asians are asking like what's good you know now that elizabeth is dead and it began trending like alongside her death like pretty much instantly on twitter we're like okay now what's up like we this we we're not forgetting about this fucking epic theft like iran pakistan afghanistan in india they all consider this diamond stolen goods, despite the British insistence that it was a gift that we acquired the legally. So, you know, let's just let's just fucking let's just call it that. But more than that, I think for a lot of people, just sort of the reluctance to return

the diamond sort of underscores just how the British government has just refused to really reckon with all of the atrocities of their colonial rule and i think that's a big part of it as well and again i'm speaking as speaking on this as an american very superficially but it's wild to just see like again many countries have many things that they consider stolen and it's just the second this thing happens they're like please you have a reckoning with this, like the one thing which is wild is because people there seems to be like monarchists who are like, this is a song day. Like, we shouldn't, you know, let's just like, really, I don't have the words to speak. While many others are like, let me break down that, like, my parents were born under colonial rule. Here are the things that I know.

And so it's just a very the the royalist take that you just described seems to also be the mainstream media take like it's all been like we we treat this very solemnly like we at lego like need to like post a black and white picture of like a le Lego figure of the queen and be like, we're heartbroken and in mourning over here. And I have a friend who's over there and had tickets to a comedy show and they just canceled it. Like comedians were like, this is no time to laugh,

was kind of how it seemed to me. There's also like a great cnn clip where a they're interviewing a bunch of people in london on the street and they're like how do you feel like you must be absolutely gutted right that's what you guys say right and the person they interview is like oh i don't really care because of colonialism and oppression and her son being a pedophile who used the power of the crown to like, you know, prey on people. Should I say more?

And they're like, fair enough. He did push her. He was like, no, I wonder why you would say such a thing. And she just said all that. And he was like, oh, fair enough. OK, over here we have some Americans. You're not a hater, are you? Yeah.

So I wonder, I'm wondering if it's I mean, I guess American media does this shit when You're not a hater, are you? are monsters but like we you definitely wouldn't see comedy shows being canceled right or so i guess i'm wondering is it that they are afraid they just like don't want to put up with the bullshit from like the you know fox news viewer equivalent over there like they just don't want to put the energy forward but it's just part of you know but that part of that it's been you know the monarchy has just been so. Yeah. A big part of the culture there. So I can imagine for them, it's just like because of that, I guess it resonates in a completely different way, whether you give a shit or not.

But yeah, I see why out of like the whatever decorum that is always, you know, like the sense of decorum that's given to the crown and all this. Like, is it a U.S. president? Like a former U.S. president dying was what I had equated it to. But it might be more like a U.S. president dying or like a president being assassinated or something. That feels like how they are treating it, even though she was fucking 96. I think we yeah, we'd relate more if our presidents wore hats. That's kind of the main thing I'm missing. Well, our greatest president did.

It was a big red one and nobody liked it. Oh, right. Oh, my God. Wow. OK. But I think, you know, it is, again, interesting to see all of like people come out with their takes and people being aghast with some of other people's like how could you say that and it reminds me of like the summer of 2020 you know yeah fucking white supremacist violence has been such a inbuilt part of american culture barely heard the words white supremacy yeah during that time we heard about police violence and we talked around it and i

think at the end of the day this because so much of the critics like the anger is born out of the empire and what that stands for that it's then i don't i can't see the bbc being like now let's kind of run down why the british empire was so fucked up and why these people might be feeling so fucking turnt up yeah i think it's just in general like we can't we don't have reckonings like good faith reckonings with like with our truly fucked up pasts like on a scale like that. But don't worry, though, not everyone is going fucking woke 5000 on us, because while, you know, many people were getting their jokes off, Tucker Carlson was absolutely fucking disgusted with how these people were talking about one of the greatest empires ever on our planet. And I'm just going to play a bit of him just talking about the good old days. To this day, Britain claims to have won both of the 20th century's world wars,

but together they destroyed that nation forever after victory came humiliation. The empire evaporated and along with it, Britain's self-confidence and ultimately its self-respect. It's hard to believe now, but Britain wasn't always a regional banking center slash refugee camp. Whoa. Oh my God. You ready? You ready? You ready? You ready? Here we go. No.

A place with a history and a language and a culture and a genuinely remarkable people. Oh. A country in the North Atlantic the size of Alabama that somehow took over the world and ruled it with decency unmatched by any empire in human history. Somehow ruled it with decency. Wow. Okay. somehow ruled it with decency wow uh okay but again you see how he's already he he's using this already to be the you know evaporation of white culture white genocide by talking about how to turn in his refugee camp it used to have culture okay we'll go on the british empire was not perfect

but it was far more humane than any other ever. It's gone now. Barely even remembered. Queen Elizabeth II was the last living link to a truly great Britain. Uh huh. He goes on to talk about what like in Africa. He's like, look at what happened when the British left. You have Idi Amin and like goes down all these like autocrats and he's like

and now china is their new ruler i bet they're begging for the british to come back wow no they're fucking not and also i can't this the most humane fucking empire ever that that is that's just that is that's a premise that does not exist. Those are antithetical concepts. That is the benefit of having an audience that doesn't read because I can just make shit up. You can be like, they were so nice. You guys like you don't have to read about any British Empire history. You guys, they were like, so nice living under British rule was like super tight. And you can believe me because behind me is a photo of a lion. The graphics they're using are so bizarre.

One is just like an old timey, like buggy. And then it switched to a graphic of a lion next to the. Right. Exactly. And I mean, like colonization is all about power, dominance,

subjugation. There's nothing fucking humane about that shit. There's just, you can't engage with it in a humane way. Cause that, that's just not how it works. It's like saying, Oh, they're the most humane fucking murderer. there's just you can't engage with it in a humane way because that that's just not how it works it's like saying oh they're the most humane fucking murderer right yeah okay right i'm like if you're out there murdering people there's no humane way to do it if you're out there kicking people off of their land saying oh this this is shit this shit's mine also you

work here now i don't give a fuck what you say or else i'll kill you that's nothing fucking humane about that but again obviously someone with like a white supremacist agenda would speak glowingly of a society that clearly just put people into like categories of human or non-human right so no no real surprises there right and so then immediately after that he brought on some people who lived under british rule to right i have to assume to just like talk, speak lowly about how dope it was. Yeah, yeah, exactly. A bunch of cool characters that people would remember. He's like, and what would Pocahontas have said? Like, what are you fucking talking about?

Fucking terrible for everybody. So, yeah, it's just it's interesting how, again, like what we see from the like just from outside of England, like what those responses are. You have many people saying, like, we do not forget the fucking terrors of living under this rule. Right. And like, let's maybe rectify that. And then again, this is also given fodder to like ghouls like fucking Tucker Carlson. Right. Like make it about how really using the soft focus filter i don't know if they're using some kind of new lens on fox news not to be superficial but i'm looking at no it feels it looks like an interview on real housewives right like a talking head segment from real housewives it's very soft glow about

soft glow there there's definitely a touch of Juvederm involved. You know, but shout out to his representative. Right, right. They got to argue that. They got to get that in the contract. His glam squad. I will not be shot. Yeah. Yeah.

Got to be shot with a nice bloom. Right. All right. Well, let's take a break. Yeah. We'll be right back to talk about texting bubbles and the various colors. The blue bubble versus the green bubble wars are upon us. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. 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. These are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. President. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent

revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours.

BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? 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.

Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We're back. The new episode should be called Snopes and Fanta. There you go. Snopes, Fanta. You guys just missed the enthralling back and forth about Snopes and Fanta. There you go. Snopes, Fanta. You guys just missed the enthralling back and forth about the origins of Fanta. Or maybe you didn't. It's totally up to Justin.

He can leave it in if you'd like. Either way, there is a reason, though, you may not be experiencing a lot of Fanta in your local store. Because rail workers are ready to strike. What is it this time? Okay. Hold on, Jack. Let me just set the table for you here. OK, so companies for years have prioritized maximum profits, which has led to understaffing and general negligence of the rail infrastructure. For example, in America.

Yes. In America? Yes. What? A typical, like if you're like a train, if driving a train going from Chattanooga to Atlanta, it took about five to six hours in the 80s. Now it takes around 12 because again,

understaffing, negligence, the infrastructure is not great. Jesus. And a lot of this too is now the just work. It's just been more intense, more intense business on the rails because of the increased demand for goods from people just ordering shit more and more online. And right now, two large rail unions, the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air Rail, and Transportation Workers, Transportation Division, Smart TD, and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen are ready to strike with up to like 140,000 plus people. Okay. This would be the first mass railroad strike since the 1980s.

I think it was since 1980, potentially. And these workers aren't really necessarily complaining about wages. What they're really, the biggest sticking point in these negotiations is that they're fighting to have just a decent quality of life. Because as it stands, when these workers have a day off, they're always on call and they have to constantly check in to see if they're going to get called in up until like midnight. And then they know like they'll have the day off. Like it's very unpredictable. And like they never have any semblance of being able to like live their life. And because of this,

even when they think they have days off means they're missing doctor's appointments. They're missing birthdays. They're missing the births of children. They can't bike. They can't park their bikes on the bike racks. This is how this is how out of control this shit. But this is all because, again, the rail companies or the railroads, they would rather run these workers ragged with 80 to 90 hour work weeks than actually just invest in hiring more people. And the, what sort of is now at stake here is that Congress, because of the railway labor act, it does a couple of things that helps the railroads. First is that the railway labor act it's, it's basically doesn't cover these workers, uh, for federal overtime protection. The only thing that they get is like

a guarantee of like 10 hours between shifts every 24 hours. So it's like if you're working a tent like 10 hours in between shifts, depending on how far you like live from your place of work or where you have to be, that might not even be enough to actually sleep and like do shit that you might have to just as a normal person who is in the in-between times of not working. And second, the Railway Labor Act, because of it, Congress can step in and stop a strike and force workers to accept a contract unilaterally. And so what about the Senate Parliamentarian, though? Can't that person step in? Well, it depends on who it benefits. Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I was just thinking like the Senate Parliamentarian will

not step in on this one. They're like, no, no, no, you can go ahead and do that. But right now, other unions have agreed to deals that have been sort of like the government was like trying to intervene to really stop this strike from happening because it would be a massive disruption, obviously, because the amount of shit we move. Just got a news thing from my phone. The Washington Post says Amtrak cancels all long distance trains beginning Thursday as rail systems brace for potential strike. Yeah. And I mean, by the time you hear this, it may be happening all because. So right now, one of the deals that the government has intervened on and put on the table, some unions have like have accepted this was like a 24 percent wage increase over five years. But a lot of people point out with inflation where it's at, that's actually a cut. Yeah, that's you're not even keeping, that's not inflation.

So that's nothing. Assuming it keeps up at this pace. The other offer now is that they're trying to negotiate. They're like, well, we can get you guaranteed time off to go to the doctor and that's it. And that doesn't seem too attractive to the people that also want to be able to, again, have a life. All of these people like constantly these union members and workers, all they're saying is, I can't I can't fucking ever know when I have time to like see my kids or my grandkids. I'm sorry. Do they think that when the queen died, they became the queen of England?

Because go to the doctor whenever you want. Get the fuck out of here. Who do you think you are? It's in bad taste to go to the doctor because you know someone died somewhere but you hear people saying this is my living situation my work situation you'd be like that's fucked up at a minimum you got to have time to fucking spend like see your family like live like someone whose life isn't all work well i've been reading about this and talking about it quite a bit because this is like someone smart i didn't think of this but they were like if you're like when they were

talking about unionizing starbucks so they're talking about unionizing amazon warehouses or things like that and they're like oh that's gonna make our business that's gonna fuck up our business model that's because if you have a business that's built on violating labor laws then that's not a business yeah right and that's like that's why i'm so glad that unions are you know some it seems to of course this is like me just watching the news and being like unions are making a comeback you know i don't know how much how significant it is but every time a starbucks gets unionized or i mean this is obvious stuff like yeah workers get abused without unions i mean it's it's it's as simple as that and and you know you got people peeing in bottles and not being able to go to doctor's appointments and it's all

in the name of the executives of these companies the stat is i forget what the stat is exactly but it used to be the ceos of companies made, 20 times the income of their lowest paid worker or whatever. And now it's like 220,000 times. It's not that high, but it's like something. I mean, it might as well be. It's 20,000 times as high. So it's not a mystery. And that's the thing is like there's this constant lie that the 1% or the wealth hoarders have that somehow this has always been the way it's been. And it hasn't been, it's been like since the early nineties,

when they started making full-time people, temp workers and saying, Hey, what are they going to do if we cut their pensions? What are we going to do if we make them on call all the time? You know, my brother pointed out the other, he mentioned the fucking Iraq war sending the fucking national guard. The national guard was not supposed to be deployed overseas they're like what are they going to do about it it's just this gradual erosion of of like a social contract it's just like and and i'm so glad that these fucking people are in some way getting because they're just abusing workers just to pay their fucking dividends right yeah and you know this one of the guys who is quoted in this this American Prospect article about like the impending strike, he talks about like what it's been like just because of the pandemic. Quote, I don't know what happened during the pandemic that woke everybody up.

And I'm talking about all of America. But, yeah, they had a big effect. People are saying now there's something more to life than wasting it on the railroad or at my job. And that's true across the board. I think it helped people really re-establish different priorities in their lives and this is again countless people saying this is this strike needs to happen quote this is not about money this is about quality of life this is about getting time off with your family and remembering that people that people don't know what trains are even they think trains are like some relic of the past they don't know how they get their shit right the the the pandemic and the supply chain stuff is just highlighted for americans who think this shit comes out of the

air that that if you don't fucking support your workers and your infrastructure you know i mean i i thinking about people at starbucks being like where's my mocha you know what i mean like and during the pandemic people were like they were like the poor workers like, where's my mocha? You know what I mean? Like, and during the pandemic, people were like, they were like, look, poor workers are like, we have no mocha here. And they're like,

what do you mean? You know, it's like, how fucking kick the wall? It's a mocha tree. Yeah, exactly. Like there must be mocha in here.

It comes out of the ground or whatever. Just put a CVS and get some mocha. Yeah. They don't, you know, it's like a train. Right. What?

Oh, wait till you hear about all your other consumer electronics. Yeah. I mean, it's like a train right right what the fuck wait to hear about all your other consumer electronics yeah i mean it's a boat right yeah you fucking asshole but like you look again right like we're saying anybody with half a heart and a human soul says yeah you need time to fucking be with your family otherwise you this what how how different is this from just like forced labor indentured servitude where you're like no your whole existence is actually built on you working for me not you having a life fuck out of here but you know because i think most people you haven't seen this talked about because i think the stakes are so clear like every time

we talk about these these unions forming or disputes they're having with contracts, you'll always hear me like, yep, I side with them. Like if I hear about it, I'm never being like, these people are trying to bite off more than they can shoot. No, you're like, damn, they're getting violated like that. They're trying to get the bare minimum. Exactly. And you look at places like Bloomberg, right? Their front page right now, it's actually been overtaken by the Amtrak closures. But earlier, the main headline was, quote, U.S. rail strike risks stoking inflation at worst possible time. Right. Like what?

Yeah, it's like locking your bike at the worst possible time. Yeah. This is what I did. Yeah. Callback. Callback to me. Called a a call back i hope you're taking notes like then there are a couple other articles underneath that not just freight the rail strike may be coming for u.s commuters another one crop car shipments set to halt on

u.s rail strike threat white house weighs emergency decree to keep vital goods on rails. If there is a strike, not one fucking mention that these people are working 80 to 90 hour fucking weeks can barely see their families. They're in like working unfathomable hours into their 60s and beyond and are still, you know, we're like, oh, this couldn't come at a worse time. You want to borrow the car? You can't have a strike this close to an election right exactly and that's why and that's why it's interesting now on bloomberg the friend says opinion congress won't let a rail dispute cripple the u.s right which means they'll step in and which sound which which is pressure, which is pressure, you know, because the railroads know what it is. They can force Congress's hand because they have the ability to be like, all right, well, this is the contract.

I'm sorry. That's it. That's that. Right. And they're counting on that rather than just, you know, taking the fucking millions of millions of dollars they make and just making a couple of couple million less. So these people can you know maybe work like fucking 70 hour work weeks i don't know what the fuck right but yeah and i think they know and with this constant thing because a lot of the rail the railroads have told shipping companies hey we can't take certain kinds of cargo because we've got to prepare for this strike and that's already affecting the markets and they know oh see they got election coming up if i fucking hold the economy hostage as an employer let's see what happens oligarchs owning

news outlets will be the death of of of us all yeah i really believe that because because it's it's as simple as that now you, you know, that guy bought CNN. You know, it's like this is not people still are trained to take these outlets seriously. And as long as billionaires are allowed to buy like multiple outlets and, you know, I mean, the fair, what do you call it? The old rules of media ownership, you know, are essential. I mean, like this is the thing. It's like what those headlines you're reading you know it's like that's all because billionaires own the goddamn newspaper i mean otherwise it would be i mean whatever the headline would be different right and also all the

speculation i i just wrote my most recent advice king column but about one of those new york times op-ed writers who like not to mention all the sub stack motherfuckers these old white dudes who are like talking about you know do people understand the value of work and it's like fuck you motherfuckers like you know it's like the new york times was under different ownership would not allow these people to speculate about this nonsense it's not a question of like whether people want to work it's a question of what's the quality of the fucking work it's not it's it's it's like you you give someone a job with absolutely i mean it's just it's a dishonest argument nobody doesn't want to work also it's a dishonest argument because you have to work in a capitalist society

or you're on the fucking street all that's happening is everybody is like facing like well well, at the moment, I don't really feel like having my life ruined. So I guess I'll take money from mom or I'll move into mom's house. I mean, that's what's happening, if anything. But there's nobody who's like got the luxury of being like, I don't think I want to work in America that doesn't exist. So it's a false discussion. It's just a matter of do you want to fucking drive your own car to deliver sandwiches you know while you're paying off student loans and that's not a question of it's not yeah that's not a referendum on whether or not people like like the think work is noble or whatever it is that these fucking rich people think people sit around doing it's it's all it's all these like

tools don't work anymore like shaming people into being like well nobody wants to work anymore and that's why i think there's like that whole push back to quiet quitting too which is like they caught wind of the fact that people are like just setting boundaries in their own minds with how they like survive the toil of working and they're like whoa there's a way that you can get quiet fired too right you know what it doesn't matter like people don't give a fuck because like to chris your point the if right now it's just like it's this or be on the street right so i'll make that work like if however fucking way i have to yeah i mean it's it's it's just um i've been alive for the whole thing you know i remember i remember when when temp people like to work like people were working

40 hours a week and they were calling it temp work you know and i knew that something was wrong you know that was the early 90s i didn't know that it would lead to absolutely stripping every benefit in the world but i knew and we all knew and we're talking about back then, like this is bullshit. Like but realizing that we were powerless and that's the problem is there's no you know, if there's no union. And I think about show business, you know, all these like people who want to be in show business at this point, it's like, do you even want to be an artist or you just want to be safe? Show business has strong unions. The reason why people get paid in fucking show business is because of union health care. There was no

fucking union like no sag no whatever the fuck else there is um after if there was no after i'm i'm actually um what do you call it uh when you're sag eligible sag eligible sag eligible wendell berry no is it was it half hardly yes that's it i'm taft hardly yeah i'm taft hardly for life i got that back wendell berry for life i could never get that second gig well chris as always truly a pleasure having you man where can people find you follow you all i like the way you just cut me off like hardcore did you sorry i didn't i don't care i don't care i like it i need it i need it i'm gonna keep talking about this stuff as soon after i turn off our fucking zoom by myself i'm gonna be like and that's why to a water ski there's a water ski in the corner i'm gonna say all this shit too

you heard that right yeah right you fucking motherfucking water ski i There's a water ski in the corner I'm going to say all this shit to. You heard that, right? Yeah, right, you motherfucking water ski. I'm weeping. You're part of the problem. Fucking rich people water ski, you piece of shit. Oh, so you think the bike locks should be shut down too? I bet you wish you were water skiing right now, you piece of shit.

Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio apps, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke.
