Hey, I'm Gianna Pradenti. And I'm Jemay Jackson-Gadsden. We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts.

Listen to Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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 non-stop infotainment laugh stravaganza. Yeah. So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. But fuck all that, okay?

Let's get to the guest today. Whatever. It's just a chaos-filled episode. Allow me to bring in the advice king. The Mr. Cold Brew Got Me Like, the foremost, I don't know, expert on YouTube and everything esoteric, I feel like. You know what I mean? And also, are you running for office?

Do I have that right? Oh, yes. Okay. We'll bring it in. Future local politician, Chris Crofton. Oh, what's up? You think I'm going to be crazy today. You're wrong.

I'm a politician now. That's right. I'm going to be totally normal. Talk about both sides. The sanest career. What about both sides? Chris, since last you were on, I've seen that you were filing the relevant documents

to run for office locally in Nashville? Yes. So I moved back to Nashville at like the end of September and I went, well, whatever, I went here. I was here. And then I live in Madison. How did you get there?

That's what we're all wondering. What was the needs of transportation? It's already going to be a very boring segment. Who helped? Oh man, I was hoping he was going to talk about metal detecting again. So I moved to Madison, which is like where it's all vape shops and payday loan places, you know, and so it's not New Nashville. So it's like this New Nashville, you know, everybody's like, wee, you know, it's the lollipop forest and all that shit.

So I moved to this part of town where the roads are all, well, like wagon tracks. Right. I like wagon tracks. Right. I said wagon tracks. I went down to the city council and I said wagon tracks to them like four times, real loud. And so anyway, the roads here. Not your chant, by the way. I think that's. Hi, sir, can we help you?

Wagon tracks. Wagon tracks. The roads here are trashed, right? So the roads here are trashed. It's like a bunch. There's no public transportation of any note. It's humiliating to wait for the bus. You just stand in like some weeds.

It's fucking horrible. So we got one neighborhood up here that's like four feet out of Lollipop Town. This new Nashville, you know, I'm up from Nashville. I'm like 10 minutes up the road, you know, and this is much more real in the sense of it's much more poor. And, you know, real meaning like just working class people. I mean, real meaning you don't like it. You know what I mean? Like real is supposed to be, you know, it's I like it because it reminds me of old Nashville

before it had like hot and cold running like micro bruise or the fuck. And and anyway, so I'm like up here and I'm like, OK, the roads here are trashed. There's a homeless encampment in the woods. There's like and then there's just Nashville, like which is just booming with and they're just keep putting up these luxury hotels and things. So I was like, so the big thing was they they said the Titans, of course, threatened to leave if they don't get a new stadium, which is what NFL teams do, you know. And nobody can say no to them because like, you know, because they'll go to Vegas or something. Yeah, they'll go crazy. Like the whole world will go crazy. You know what I mean? Like, it's like, you know, you, you can't say no to the Titans, but I also think you should say no to the Titans

when they do this to you, which is they asked for a new stadium and they cut a deal where we give Nashville, the city gives like $700 million to the, to the stadium stadium but it's even more than that but there's like 700 million dollars in tax dollars right going to the nfl yeah when we got people full of kratom standing in the weeds waiting for the bus that comes erratically like there's no there's there's there's traffic here this place i used to live here when it was empty and and i don't i don't expect it to be empty like Like, when I moved here in 2001, there was nobody here. And I understand that's not sustainable. But I liked it because you could just go around and rock them.

You know, you could just, I had my band, and you just pay $200 a month rent. You get drunk, and you tell everybody what's what. That's a great town to me. That is a good town, yeah. But, you know, that's not, you know, people eventually will catch on to the rent being like $200 and then people come here. So growth is fine. But like we just have. Yeah, let's have the wealth distributed properly.

So everybody is benefiting from it. Right. What I was saying trickle down the wealth. I think it's what miles. Yeah. Yeah. We need to give more money to the people at the top. It's not falling down fast enough.

Thank you. So more gravity up top. It'll come down. We're not stacking enough money at the top because it will not come down. You get it. It's like one of those machines at the gas station where they have like the pennies. I thought you were going to say, if you push harder on the gas pump lever, more gas comes out faster. Yeah, it's like the gas station.

Yeah, it's like if you don't squeeze hard enough at the gas station, it's the same thing. So anyway, I went down to the stadium hearing and I don't know if you guys have heard the audio from it. I have it. You know, you can hear it. I just I just hear that. I could play it. I don't. It's two minutes long, but it's me yelling at not yelling because I'm running for real. That's one thing. I'm running for Metro Council at large is the office, meaning it's not tied to a particular district. So I'm running at large all of Davidson County. There's five selected. There's 21 people running. And I'm not doing this as a stunt. And I just, I went down to the stadium and I thought I was going to wait to watch the proceedings. They were deciding whether to approve the stadium

and the stadium deal. And it was already done. The activists had to be activists just to get a hearing. But then the hearing was like, everybody just sort of like, I can't even, it's too long a story. But one side of the hall was people wearing loafers, Gucci loafers with no socks for real. And the other side was like All black I mean it was like white and black It was not that extreme but it was like

The white people in the fleece vests And the fucking loafers with no socks Just got up and said we want a stadium Because it's fun and we can smoke cigars in it And then a bunch of people of color Teachers Like regular people got up and made good points And they sided with the guys who want to smoke cigars.

Yeah, of course. And it was to see that if it was not, it would have made me mad if there wasn't taxpayer money involved. Yeah, yeah. Just the attitude. But the fact that they were giving away tax money and it was like very stark because I don't know why there was like weird intimidation things happening. The reason I know why you could tell the difference in color between the people who are pro stadium and anti stadium is because they divided us when we got there. You had to get in a line that said pro and a line that said against, which I already thought was weird. But I got up and I didn't

even thought they said, well, you can't go in to sit because the Titans already paid a ton of people to be here and they all filled the place already. They had a picnic. The Titans had a picnic for people in the afternoon to be there. That's how you warm up for activism is with a light, light or dirt. What was a weekday? So they, it was whoever got there first, got to speak for two hours. So the pro stadium people got two hours and then a bunch of anti-stadium people had like kids and stuff. Regular people had to go home. So anyway, I, I got in there and I just, I didn't, I just wanted to, I realized they were going to pass it. So I just said, this is socialism, not because I hate socialism. Of course, the first person that came at me was a liberal saying, you, why do you got

to put down socialism? And I was like, I'm not putting down socialism, saying socialism to these people because they don't, they think corporate capitalism, they think it's peak capitalism because NFL's involved. So they're like, NFL is capitalism, but you're giving them cap taxpayer money. Doesn money doesn't matter nfl you know and so i was just there to say i said it was like putting up a gold statue of stalin i said i said it was i said it was i said crazy shit because i wanted to say stuff in that chamber that they had not heard yeah but i mainly got to say this is corruption and you guys know it and it felt so good because when i do stand-up all i do is complain about corruption yeah well not all and i also do jokes about how people who smoke pot have mustard on their pants but they but you know i got it true

you can't just get up there and talk about the division of wealth but um anyway so it was like a very it was an amazing moment for me because I realized, oh, wait, this is like doing stand up. But for people who don't want to hear it, like, well, that's not that different either. I know it's not that different. But but hearing saying this stuff about, you know, corruption to people who are actually doing the corruption felt good. And so then I thought, well, I should run for office. And then, I mean, the amount of support I've had has been just absolutely amazing. People have been like, yes.

So we'll see. I just want to be a nice guy. Yeah. Look, hey, for those of you that are able, you know, check out Chris Crofton's campaign running for the At-Large District. Okay. Metro Council, At-Llarge, Nashville, Tennessee. You can go to VoteBlue, and I'm raising money there. I haven't got my account all the way set up.

So, you know, don't go there. You better put your picture up. Don't go there. Don't go there for a little while. Go there in a couple days. Okay. But I'm not kidding. VoteBlue.

Yeah, when you launch your fundraising arm. What is something from your search history? Search history. A cheap cheap gift my wife's birthday is this week no the actual is of randy johnson kills bird yeah was what it was because i think a cup maybe it was over the weekend randy johnson by the way uh famous i'm picking up on jack's cue that i was talking about obscure philadelphia sports stuff and jack had to keep jumping and explaining what the fuck i was talking about so i'll just do it myself randy johnson was a fame a hall of fame pitcher and this seems mathematically impossible but one time he was

pitching and he threw the pitch to the plate and then a bird flew in the path of the pitch and the bird um i don't i don't know what happened to it i don't know if it survived it exploded it exploded yes yeah it's truly like there it was decimated a bird is flying and then there is just a cloud of feathers and that's it it was stunning and then it happened again over the weekend where in warm-ups there was a pitcher for the same team that randy johnson played for the arizona diamondbacks was warming up and his pitch by the way this is all accident these people aren't uh burdlers right right and they those bloodthirsty motherfuckers these fucking fat there was foul play but i do need to go but no they hit um i probably should be leaving i

i'm feeling faint but yeah another pitcher hit a bird with a pitch over the weekend over the weekend yeah over the weekend wasn't that cool same kind of image it was not as cool i know you love that that just that bird exploding sort of thing, Jack. You like to get your money's worth. Oh, yeah. But no, this shot, it wasn't nearly as good. It was out in the outfield. It was warming up. So, yeah, he didn't put much behind it, but it did kill the bird.

Also, in the Cleveland Guardians White Sox game, a bird also got fucked up by like a ground ball. Like this thing over the weekend, too. I mean, yeah, Randy Johnson, known as the big unit. You can imagine what kind of heat was coming off that arm. Now he's just a, you know, he's just like a hobby photographer. Incredible. Yeah, he seemed like he would like disappear into the desert once he retired. He goes to like, he takes like sports photos. Like you see him in the background

of like football games and shit like on the field like a telephoto lens he's like i'm just really into photography now he gets the best shots because he's 6 11 yeah right he's out here he's he just loves he just loves looking at things through the lens you know he's taking like concert photos anyway just it's always fun to see he's like i think i think he got into it in college or something and that's how it's just like and i just kept it going after that that's cool what is something that you think is overrated besides sandwiches yes wow quitting twitter and indignation overrated yeah Yeah. Yeah. You know why? Yeah. Because no one notices when you stop doing something. No one. No one notices. Yeah. And like every social media platform sucks in its own special

way. Every I mean, Elon obviously extra sucks, which I guess we're going to be talking about. But like no one notices when you stop doing something. I've seen a specific news organization that I may or may not have a loose affiliation with, you know, quit in a very public way. My news outlet did too. And I, you know, it didn't make us quit, you know, or the reporters at that news organization quit. But I'm like, what an opportunity you had when you're actually being talked about to do something else with this besides just stop doing anything. And now like you're not doing anything with Right. And now like, you're not doing anything with it.

Like you could have raised money. You could have like taught people what journalism is. But like when you're not doing anything, nobody notices you're not doing anything. So I just think that there's like taking your toy. Remember what happened with Reddit like a bunch of years ago?

Like what happened with that? Nothing. Like nothing happened with that. So I don't know. I just think that there's some like, a little bit of just like virtue signaling nothing burger-ness and quitting Twitter and indignation right now.

I mean, maybe someday it will be important, but to me, it's a little bit overrated. I'm sorry if either one of you did that and I just like- I post like 12 to 13 times a day about how I'm quitting Twitter. Each post is like, that's it. You've done it this time, Musk. But I, yeah, I guess the fact that I've been doing that for three months

now, probably. I'll never quit because I never thought I would have this many followers. And I like to look at the number. Why would I do that now? I'm at the top of my game. That's true. And may I say to the followers, you guys stop quitting because it's making our number go down. What the fuck? That makes us sad. You're burning me.

You burned me, listeners, who quit Twitter. My number went down. Like, Jack, I was looking at your follower number. You're like about twice as many as me. Like, I could fill like a small college football stadium. You could fill like a big college football stadium.

Like, you couldn't like show up somewhere and like 45,000 people would show up, right? Right. That's true. They're all very loyal, too. And they're all real. I check in with them on a daily basis. None of them are bots. They're huge fans of mine. None of them are bots and they're all real.

Yeah, they love me like family members. I have a 45,000 person family. They're all going to hang out flags in front of their house after they graduate you. It's weird how I can get 12,000 of them to say the exact same thing to me at the same time. It's crazy. That's how on the same page they are. And then sandwiches are overrated? You just kind of skip past that.

Yeah, sandwiches are overrated. Way to bury the lead. Yeah. All sandwiches. All sandwiches. Well, not grilled cheese, obviously. Whoa. I like an obvious.

Obviously not. One of the three most popular sandwiches. The world's greatest hangover food is obviously not overrated. Okay. Okay. But yeah, I, I don't get,

I just, I've never understood like the obsession with sandwiches. I know people love sandwiches. I'm for me personally. Sure. No, I get it. I'm not.

Oh, is it? So it's, it's like the mania, like sandwich mania that's overrated or you're just saying like, I just, I just, I don't understand like when people are like, oh, we're going to bring in lunch for this meeting. We're bringing in sandwiches. And everyone's like, yeah. And I'm like, fuck, what do you mean yeah? Right, right, right.

Pizza, yeah. Sandwiches, no. Like it's just the stuff in the middle is the good part. And like, I have to get through the shit on the outside to get the stuff in the middle. Oh, you're almost like Trump with pizza. You're like, nah, not the bread. It's just the top part. Scrape it off. Thank you. Thank you for that very complimentary comparison. I really appreciate it.

I get the sort of singular focus, though. It's just sort of like, nah, nah, nah. That's filler. You don't want that. You want the meats and the cheeses right there. That's the fucking, that's the money. I'm not like a huge like a huge huge bread person i mean i'm not like anti-carbs i fucking love carbs but i'm not like one people who's like i love bread right and then people are always like you'll love it if you have the bread i make and i'm like no one fucking won't like i don't really it's like it's just it's just bread

it's just like it's not that special that's just like, it's not that special. That's just my opinion. It's my opinion. Not everybody agrees. It's okay. I have had great bread. Don't get me wrong. There is bread that's better than other bread. I agree with that.

Have you tried the, there's this thing they have out here in LA called sliced bread where they like. Yeah. It's not just one big hunk. It's really the greatest thing. It doesn't come out of a stone oven. It's not artisanal hunk. It's really the greatest thing. It doesn't come out of a stone oven. It's not artisanal. Is that what you're saying?

Wonder. That's it. That's good stuff. Have you tried wonder? The stuff. Slice bread gets so much credit from people all the time. Have you seen like those clips when like Americans are amazed at like the bread slicers in Europe? time have you seen like those clips when like americans are amazed at like the bread slicers in europe like when you go to a store and like oh there's like i've just seen a genre video like

americans whose minds are blown buying like a loaf of bread at a european grocery store that like you can then take to a machine that just like slices it fresh like the coffee grinder yeah i was just gonna say yeah yeah you know yeah you just load it in it might be in germany or something like that and it just like cleanly just slices it up. So you have like good, like your loaf is actually as fresh as possible or whatever. And they're like, wow, it just slices it right here. And I'm like, I watch it too. I'm like, come on, man.

Act like you're. I'm like, it just slices it right there. Have some chill for God's sake. It's so embarrassing. Act like you've been here. That shit does make it, like grinding your coffee beans right before you brew the coffee

really does make a difference. I'm sure. Like now I want the, I want a unsliced Wonder Bread loaf. Is that something they even sell? I'll take it home just, yeah, with your bread knife just doing the most uneven slices

of Wonder Bread. You ever tried to cut Wonder Bread or like with a knife? Yeah. You can't do it. It's terrible. It's just like, what? Yeah. It's a non-Newtonian substance.

It's neither air, it's neither gas, nor solid, nor liquid. Yeah. Yeah. The knife doesn't know what to do with it. What is something you think is underrated? Magnesium glycinate for sleeping. That is so specific. Go on.

Magnesium, sorry, what? Glycinate? Magnesium glycinate specifically. Magnesium comes in different forms. You can get a bunch of different little endings. The glycinate one for sleeping in particular magnesium when the the number one autocomplete for magnesium space in google is glycinate so it is it is us who are wrong followed by magnesium and cheese which is so you can make it cheese yeah you get a little nice mac and cheese. Yeah, you get a little nice mag and cheese.

Wait, so what is, yeah, where did you hear about it? What is, is it for helping? Is it like a sleep aid or what's going on? It is a sleep aid. I heard about it from the journal, the very scientific journal that I always consume, TikTok. And it helps you sleep, but it doesn't help you get to sleep. It helps you get into a deeper sleep once you are asleep.

So my whole life, I was like, I don't really dream that often. I'll like have dreams sometimes, but like not super often, maybe once every couple of weeks. Turns out I'm just not getting into REM sleep where dreams happen enough or staying in REM sleep long enough.

And magnesium glycinate allows me to stay into REM sleep for a long time. So once I started taking it, I started having these really intense dreams that I thought were like hallucinations. Turns out that's normal and everybody has them. I just wasn't dreaming like that before because I wasn't sleeping like that. So describe one of your dreams. It's like very like, OK, I had this one.

I was I had to give a speech at school. And I'm doing no, it's nothing like that. I had a dream. Oh, my God. OK, I had a dream oh my god okay i had a dream that one of my friends who had just gone to europe for his birthday for a month i was watching his location on find my friends and i told him to come to where i was and so i'm watching him cross like the boot of italy on some some it's so random on some bridge. He's going through the boot of Italy to get to me somewhere also in Europe.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And it's like dark out. There's like a lot of stars around. I'm with some person. I don't know who they are. Stuff like that.

Very, just super random, but very vivid. Yeah. Okay. I'm going to have to, I'm going to have to look into that. We're big dream heads on this podcast there.

I feel, I feel like there are insights in there. If you just like, you know, keep track of them and like, don't be too specific. Don't be like, oh, so I'm going to see my friend on a bridge on the boot. But like there's, you know, I think there's power there coming from the unconscious part of our minds that.

I agree. Yeah, I think that's the most powerful thing that humans have access to if you know how to use it so that's cool magnesium glycinate will get you dreaming i'll combine that with my thc indica that'll always do it now that's the thing i'm scared of forming a dependency so i won't do it more than two nights in a row so the other nights i'll do my magnesium but yes definitely felt now the combo get out the way combination made my eyes bleed yeah the combination made my eyes bleed yes thank you yeah it doesn't do anything i'm like oh this is like anticlimactic yeah magnesium glycinate and

thc the combination made my eyes bleed yeah now i am not a doctor so take this for what it's worth but you are someone who's tiktok yeah you know what i mean naturally yeah an ashwagandha supplement plus magnesium glycinate plus a little thc will actually have you in a stupor you're you might not wake up in that i don't know well i'm seeing already like people are talking about combining ashwagandha and magnesium glycinate. Oh, there's all kinds of stuff going on. Okay. So it's a little crazy. Let us know.

Let us know if that's how you get down, Zai Kang. Yeah, yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break, and we'll come back and talk about Nikki Haley. We'll be right back. Haley. We'll be right back.

And Harlan Crowe is just a regular old guy and everybody needs to cool it. Yep. I don't know. Yeah. Do you have to say anything more than that? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I wasn't familiar with Harlan Crowe before all of this controversy.

So I was shocked that he apparently had a stand in this like Graham Wood guy who was just like, oh, I've been into this dude and he's just a regular dude. You know, like all of our grandpas he's like funding a supreme court judge you know just a regular old dude and who knows all of them this is shit he's been caught for you know what i mean how else would you unburden yourself with uh generations of inherited wealth was one of the things that this writer wrote. He's not buying Nazi crap. He's unburdening himself with this wealth by buying historical relics. That's all it is.

And if you're going to buy historical relics, why would it be of, say, the country you live in or maybe something related? Why wouldn't it be Nazis? Yeah, it's got to be. It's got to be. It's cool, man. Here's the thing you got to understand about white people.

There's so much history there. It's like what the article goes in on. It's just cool, man. Here's the thing you gotta understand about white people. There's so much history there. The article goes in and you're like, huh? So the first, like, as people were, you know, as the ProPublica series was being published, The Atlantic came out with this article that made headlines because the author was like

anyone who calls him a Nazi for collecting Nazi paraphernalia is an idiot. And I think we all know that. Right. The last line was people can all agree. His last line of the article was something to the effect of like Harlan Crowe's friends know that he's not a Nazi. Right. And it's like but and those that don't, of course, they jump to that because they're not smart like his friends.

And you're like, like, like, oh, right. Why? Because America is a meritocracy and we can all just agree on that and move on. they're not smart like his friends and you're like like like oh right what because america is a meritocracy and we can all just agree on that and move on but as we talked about the last time we covered this the guy graham wood is a like he as he mentioned in the first article like grew up in the same town as harlan crowe in like dallas and would like run past his compound and like peer through the gates and like wonder what was so he's he is like a lifelong fan of this billionaire or at least like property yeah his property his mystique yeah you know so he's he's always wanted to just get in

there he's been looking for this opportunity to you know we all peek over the fence of a villain's mansion and go maybe me someday i wish i could hang in hang out in there oh yeah enjoy some canapes let me tell you favorite favorite pastime of black and brown people in the u.s peering over somebody's fence that you don't know it always ends properly and to the point where i've never done that shit in my life. But anyway, this piece, though, he really got the first piece got Harlan Crowe's attention. And he was like, oh, shit. Okay, these guys.

I have a fan. Standing up for me. I like, I fuck with this Graham Wood guy. He wants to see my Nazi member, but he didn't totally come on over. So guess who got a personal invitation to Harlan Crowe's fucking sculpture garden? None other than Graham Wood. And apparently up top, he's like, look, man, I'm not gonna talk about this Clarence Thomas shit. He's like, oh, yeah, yeah, for sure, for sure, for sure, for sure. Obviously, my guy.

That's not even important to me. What I'm trying to do is humanize you. And this whole thing, it's about as predictably like a puff piece as you can imagine. Like it's filled with some really dumb equivocations. There's one part where Harlan Crowe's like, I wouldn't be mad if like, let's say George Soros was friends with like the head of the World Bank. And you're like, oh, you really scream that dog whistle into the mic. OK, OK. And let's not pretend like a Supreme Court justice is some kind of rabid capitalist business person. But I guess maybe that's what admires and tries to pretend as if his ties to Clarence Thomas aren't

deeply problematic he's like of course you should disclose that stuff obviously I'm saying that he's like what was the fucking problem if he bought his mom's house and she lives there rent free or paying his nephew's tuition Harlan's just a good dude. He's always just helping people who happen to be on the Supreme Court. Okay? Yeah. Always. He knows where to put his money. The title of the piece is called The Collector.

Right. Because you're like, wow, great. I love that. Which is just, which I just, I, like, they just wave off the collecting Nazi memorabilia so easily. Like, just, it's not like collecting lucky pennies. Okay? Like, in Germany, people aren't allowed to collect Nazi memorabilia so easily. Like, just, it's not like collecting lucky pennies, okay? Like, in Germany, people aren't allowed to collect Nazi memorabilia. I studied German history, and I have no interest in collecting, like, Nazi memorabilia.

Like, what? It's just so fascinating that some of the three leaders during World War II were all artists. I just think there's a fun story there. That's what he says about buying Hitler's paintings. That's just a fun story. He said there's a fun story there that's what he says about buying hitler's painting that's just a fun story he said there's a fun story there like okay what's the fun i mean this is where i'm like dig in let's ask them let's ask some more questions i think at best right he's so disconnected from what it means to collect nazi shit that he really doesn't see an issue because like oh like i'm not affected by white supremacy or hate like in ways like that. Plus, my money insulates me from that kind of reality. So I truly look at it as buying like old shit, not even that I don't like I like it. I'm just like,

I can afford it. I don't know. I don't know. Hitler wasn't that scary. Even when I think of myself, I probably would have been fine. Yeah. So, you know, what are we afraid of here yeah what's the issue but yeah like there's another part though too where like graham wood really wants to underline crow's like never trump like bona fides or he's like man like he he hates trump though like he hates him so like huh like it's just kind of like out of nowhere just saying that like so that's got to count for something it's like but at the end of the day, he is so invested in the conservative, like legal movement that like what I don't understand why you think that one is different from the other because they're both they're both like trains that are moving in the exact same

direction. Yeah. One is impolite and draws attention to itself, which is against the rules, especially for people who are part of, you know, the tradition of collecting and protecting generational wealth. Yeah. You know, so Trump is bad for those people. There was there was another good quote that was saying how Harlan Crowe, like, actually, he doesn't feel powerful at all. He doesn't get why he's like, he's like, I'm actually not that powerful.

I'm a little baby. He's like, I'm actually not that powerful. I'm a little baby. He's like, I'm little and weak. He's like, he's like, they even like in the thing, they're like saying even President Biden has said he's like, how he's like, you think you're going to be calling the shots? He's like, I take more orders now as president than I ever thought I would. As like, as a way to be like, yeah, because you don't know where you are. That's why. Because you're part of a Democratic Party that is fucking tied irrevocably to massive billionaires like this asshole. Yeah, exactly.

But it's fun to paint it as like, he doesn't even think he's, he himself thinks he's weak. So it's okay. Yeah, it's totally fine if I'm not actually because I don't think I have the power. Like sometimes I call Clarence Thomas

and he doesn't even call me back until like 15 minutes later. I'm very, very weak. Those 15 minutes, they feel like an hour. I got to tell you, man. I've told my woke granddaughter who just got back

from liberal arts college. I've been ghosted too. Okay. By Clarence. It's tough tough out here it's hard for a billy yeah you know what i mean but yeah it's it's more predictable like nonsense i don't know why they're all in on this campaign to like try and defend harlan crowe like what like what the editor is at the atlantic or like oh you got another harlan crowe piece yeah loaded up in the hop but again at the end let's go it's truly to be like the kids say right let's go let's go the atlantic office he's like yo all over this one it's different my god bro this one's busting busting you didn't tell me about

this i actually believe he's a normal guy. But yeah, I mean, I think it just shows legacy media is still there. They're still in the billionaire culture. So they're not going to about to, they're not about to point fingers and shit. Yeah, this guy, by the way, graduated from Harvard and currently is also a lecturer in political science at Yale University.

So really in touch with the people, the mainstream media ivy league like that whole insular circle of people just cranking each other off and being like we're all we all get it right like we we can't tell the truth here right we know that there's a an order to things if you know what i'm saying and it like ultimately comes down to fucking eugenics and being fascists like being wealth fascists essentially i wonder if they like i can imagine they listen to run the world by beyonce and they go who run the world they're like us we love this one yeah yeah harland crow crow is definitely like on his little stationary bike

pumping that in his ears absolutely like a headband or he's got those exercise bikes that has yeah oh yeah with the little arms yeah yeah he's got the old timey like workout equipment from nazi germany that's like a jiggle belt that like jiggles your belly until the it's supposed to just like make the fat melt off he's like this is my gold kettlebell it's from uh it's supposed to just make the fat melt off. He's like, this is my gold kettlebell. It's from stolen teeth. Oh, never mind. Don't worry about it. Anyway, it weighs a ton, though.

All right. Well, let's talk about Elon real quick. Oh, my God. Did a CNBC interview at the end of last week. And, you know, what we've seen from his Twitter persona appears to have transferred over to his actual human body persona. Yeah. Yeah. He's just full, full blown.

He's just a human 4chan shitpost, basically. And he really let his freak flag fly in that interview. And by freak flag, I mean swastikas. that interview and by freak flag i mean swastikas uh because man a lot of the interview made waves like around this like incessant need to defend the like verified nazi shooter uh from allen texas you know the guy with like the all the nazi tattoos and the talk of loving nazis and how he'd rather be a nazi than act black when he posted that meme. Like he let everybody know very clearly, you know, where he stood on things, what his perspective was. Anyway, Elon, uh, he goes off about how, despite all of the evidence and even the shooter's own words, it's not right to call this like a

white supremacist act. So let me, let me just play this. He's, he's going to start off by talking about why he's like dubious and you can just watch his like brain start melting um and the evidence for that uh was some obscure russian website that no one's ever heard of that had no followers um and the the company that came that found this is bellingcat right and you know what bella cat does psyops right i couldn't really even follow exactly what it was you were trying to express there so that's in part why i was curious but i'm saying that i thought this the the ascribing it to white supremacy was bullshit okay and and uh and and and that the information for that uh came from an obscure russian website and was somehow magically

found by bellingcat which is a company that does psyops. Okay, so enough about that, because Valenkat does not do psyops. Wait, wait, wait. Who is the reporter going, right? Yeah, why is he just going... That's a reflexively bad thing to say. Yeah, I know.

And even though he did kind of follow up, he's like, look, I only say that because I don't know what you're saying. He did basically like, I don't know what you're trying to say right now. Change your reflex. Do the bar bar like, huh? Right.

Change the reflex, dude. Change it. It's better to just be like, eh? Honestly. What's up? It'll force the person to really have to explain. Ah? Or say nothing.

Right. Not that. But yeah, again, so he's saying Bellingcat, which does real investigative journalism. They're saying they do psyops and it's bullshit. It's bullshit that they're trying to say that this is a white supremacist. What is his horse in this race? Aside from being a white supremacist himself, what is it? What is his horse in this particular i think probably did not give too much momentum to

the not even narrative to the reality of increasing like extremist violence and the like that these people exist and they are like they're acting out their ideologies in real physical space violently because i think i don't know if he's trying to thread this needle he's like saying like i don't know if he's like it was a white supremacist reason why he shot those people it might just be that he was like a white supremacist and shop you it's like really not clear but he's definitely trying to like cape for like white supremacy in this very bizarre way that's not even really clear to even the interviewer who's like okay right you know the interviewer's like right right right right right because you know hitler was correct about what he said right right right and everything that he did oh my god that's gonna

be the clip you're gonna share on social media isn't it don't do that no way absolutely not so again a very frustrating interview because he is truly just like lost in the sauce his face when he was like trying to even explain like the logic path of like this Russian account and Bellingcat. It's like he was trying to like do like a thread on at thread unroll. Like, please, dude, please unroll this Twitter thread in my brain so I can go find like the precise clapback reply that I need in here. And it's a shame that this didn't get like a ton of coverage i mean you got some coverage but like talking about the man that owns fucking twitter is out here showing you how vile his fucking beliefs are like in real and like in such a it's even a

way like i don't know why i'm mad i'm like it's he's not even doing it elegantly it's just like it's just like the raw stupidity of it. It just makes it even more frustrating to see. And again, I have to be like, right, right, psyops, psyops. Yeah. I mean, how did they not have support for the claim that they knew he was going to try to debunk rather than just be, you know? Yeah, yeah. I mean, I don't even know what you're saying right now. So I have to unroll this a little bit because i just don't understand so was it was he even being

asked about this because this spread on twitter like why is this even something he's talking about he's been like he because he himself has been retweeting other accounts that are casting got it got it so he's now like he's now like, he's now like pot committed to this like situation where he has to defend his thought. He's like, why are you, yeah,

he's like, why are you using your platform to like, who are these even people? And then he's like, well, he's like, well,

where did their evidence come from that they were white supremacists? The guy has swastika tattoos on his arm. Yeah, literally. I don't know. He may have had,

his tattoo artist may have had glaucoma and was trying to make a plus sign. I don't know. We just have had, his tattoo artist may have had glaucoma and was trying to make a plus sign. I don't know. We just don't know. But like the fact that that wasn't the response. What about the SS bolts? He had fucking SS bolts. His other tattooer, SS bolts.

Yes. No, those are Celtic runes, you know? Yeah, exactly. No, he's a journeyman electrician. And he's on his way to joining the IBEW. So it's a high voltage logo. Like what? Shut the fuck up. electrician and he's on his way to joining the ibew so it's a high voltage logo like what again and i think the reason why this guy was caught off on cnbc is because they were on stonks tv you know what i mean they weren't on msnbc he wasn't talking like ben collins or somewhere like

someone who's like knows like he's very well versed in all this you know ben collins is a great example of why i think it is overrated to leave Twitter indignation. Like, he's a great example of why. Did he leave? No, he's there. Oh, okay. If he left, like, no one would ever see his shit.

Right, exactly. He's a fucking great, great sister. But he's always there to just dunk on people. Exactly. Yeah, always, like, help people who are not, like, terminally online, like some of us, understand, like, what is actually being spoken about.

So anyway, again, this interview was basically on CNN CNBC. So they're like then he eventually gets to the money part, which is another really interesting moment in this interview. He said the big question is like for people who love stonks like Tesla and stuff is like, what the fuck's going on with like Tesla shares and like the way you're running Twitter, because the businesses are interconnected, whether you like it or not. And he's like, and if you keep turning Twitter into like an ad repelling website equivalent of like Kristallnacht, like what are you going to, how are you going to keep people's money moving? Like, what do you say to these people who are actually worried about the shit that you post and its effect on the financials of everything? This answer is fucking even I'm just going to play the whole thing because it's this is a very like this man's brain.

I, I don't even know. I'm serving that word salad. Serve it. Yeah. God, no, I don't want it at all. But I'm what I'm trying even came up though in the annual meeting. I mean, you know, but I'm what I'm trying even came up though in the annual meeting. I mean, you know, do your tweets hurt the company? Are there Tesla owners who say, I don't agree with his political position because, and I know it because he shares so much of it, or are there

advertisers on Twitter that Linda Yaccarino will come and say, you got to stop, man. Or, you know, I can't get these ads because of some of the things you tweet. Pause. Pause. Pause. Pause. He's just looking off into the middle distance. Booting. Oh, does he find the right meme? You know, I'm reminded of...

Uh-oh. Bone Valley. Receiving the Princess Bride. Great movie. Great movie. Great movie. Where he confronts the person who killed his father. receiving the princess bride great movie great um great movie where he confronts the person who killed his father okay he says offer me money no power literally that's not what he says. I don't care. See, you just don't care.

Offer me money. You want to share what you have to say? I'll say what I want to say. And if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it. Has he ever seen that fucking movie? That's literally not. He says, my name is Indigo Montoy. You kill my father, prepare to die.

I mean, like literally everybody knows that offer me money offer it's like I don't understand he's basically replying in like

gif form gif form yeah you know what I mean he's like what do you say about that uh princess bride dot gif

is what I said it took him a while to find it he was my god he got the wrong one he racked his brain for the dumbest response I mean Princess bride dot gif is what it took him a while to find. He was my God. He got the wrong one. He racked his brain for the dumbest response. I mean, truly, does he have like a early kind of trial version of Neuralink going like hooked up to Twitter?

And like, that's just how badly it works. And he was just going through his brain. 13 seconds to respond. That was a 13 second fucking pause he took to say, I'm reminded of a scene from Princess Bride. What? Offer me money. Offer me power.

I mean, that couldn't have been the answer that investors were looking for. How fucking awesome would it have been if he said, I'm reminded of a scene from Princess Bride wearing rodents of unusual size. I think it's also just too, these people, especially billionaires, right? They're never in environments where people press them or ask follow-up questions.

So when they are, it's like a disorienting experience for them. The beginning of the first clip where i talked to where he's talking about bellingcat running bellingcat running psyops when he's like when the the journalist asking very basic questions of his like like twitter retweets he's also like almost i'll just play this other section because it truly shows like he is not used to being held to account for fucking anything i can't get enough of this. Keep going. They're a psyop? Oh, in Allen, Texas. You say something like

it might be a bad psyop. I'm not quite sure what you meant, but... Oh, in that particular case, there was a... Somehow, that's not that the people were killed but it was I think

incorrectly described I was super killed his body language like you know I'm no body language expert although I do testify at trials as an expert very scientifically proven to be like legit. Yeah.

But, but it's just interesting how he, he like goes, he's starting like this and then he just really does get small and he's like, oh, right. This thing, um, I did a, well, it's, um, what, huh? I didn't. He like tilts his head to the side, like a dog that like you just spoke a full sentence to. And the dog doesn't like understand what you're saying. And then another pause, another pause. And then, oh, that. So when you were first talking about this, it's like this is coming on the show. I didn't know what we were going to be talking about. And I just quickly Googled Elon Musk CNBC.

about. And I just quickly Googled Elon Musk, CNBC. All of the top headlines I see are Elon Musk tells CNBC he's now up to six hours of sleep a night. That was the takeaway from this. What? Because the mainstream media worships billionaires and they just want them to be Tony Stark, They just want them to be Tony Stark, real, real Tony Stark. That's it. They are there to, you know, play a role and a role that the mainstream media isn't interested in is like massive billionaire thought leader who is also a Nazi. Like they erased that part of Henry Ford's story for many years. Right. You know, and also like, that's not a good ad for his mental elasticity for someone who's supposedly such a brilliant, I'm like, this guy took 13 seconds to say, this reminds me of the princess bride. I don't know. And then,

and then didn't get the right line that everybody knows. Offer me the thing. I don't, I don't care. Oh yeah. Okay. I'll tweet what I want. Inigo Montoya. Yeah. Yeah yeah i think there was this character a negro toyota and what he said what anyway so emerald boy is back at it uh but yeah

shout out to everybody who was focused on the six hours of sleep part. Oh my gosh. He needs more, apparently, because there's a lot of gears spinning without anything coming out.

Holy shit. I've been waiting for this movie. Finally. Margot Robbie looks just like Barbie, so it's going to be great. It's exactly like Barbie. gonna be great that's exactly like barbie uh i just want to bring this up because i i myself was always like is the barbie girl song gonna ever by aqua ever gonna be in like the barbie movie that just feels as a millennial like it has to be there's only one barbie song the new trailer just came out i've heard you do huh the screaming about that oh i know you won't

stop talking about it jack i remember we had to shelf a whole episode when you're on i remember because it's all I was talking about. Like, we started over because Jack was like, please stop talking about fucking Barbie. And I'm like, I'm sorry. I'm so upset. I get it. But this new fucking trailer actually uses the track from Aqua in the last couple seconds. But it kind of feels like this Sonic the Hedgehog moment where, like, all of the Internet was like, where the fuck is Barbie Girl by Aqua in your marketing?

This is bullshit. And then suddenly, you know, the studio is just kind of like, all right, fine. Let's fucking add it in case the fans just completely lose it on us. Like to the point where like one fan just like re-edited the like the previous trailer to include the song. And it was actually like way better. It like, it all works together. But it was previously reported that the movie would, in no uncertain terms,

they would not be using the song. And Leni Nystrom of the band speculated that it might have to, it might've been because it was too on the nose for the film. Although I feel like everything about this film has been pretty on the nose. Yeah, take i feel like everything about this film has been pretty on the nose yeah take the layup but the whole other thing is that apparently where they track

down lenny nystrom no for comment uh i mean who's still living on the side of the volcano probably right next to lenny bloomingdale's we caught up with lenny we caught up with her in sumatra on the side of her in her treehouse on the side of a volcano. But the other reason might be because back in the 90s, Mattel, the makers of Barbie, they sued Aqua at the time, shout out when MCA was a thing, to court alleging that the song made unauthorized use of the toy manufacturer's Barbie doll trademarks and likeness and

argued that the brand was tarnished by lyrics that quote associate sexual and other unsavory themes with Mattel's Barbie products. Because you know there was stuff like kiss me here, touch me there, hanky-panky, you can touch, you can play, I'm always yours, make me walk, make me

talk, do whatever you please, I can act like a star, I can beg on my knees, you know, all that. The band was saying that, like, it was actually about plastic surgeries, and some parts were intended as sexual, but after the lawsuit, their lawyer was like, shut the fuck up, shut the fuck up, don't talk about that, don't say anything about the sexual shit because that's what they're

suing you about what the fuck was that oh shit my own fucking siri just went off anyway so then mca hey siri where can i find a doll with conservative fine family values uh and then so there was a countersuit filed by MCA Records. And they said because they said that they called their, quote, alleged trademark violation a crime. And they're like, that's bullshit. Things got so fucking heated with these two lawsuits that the judge literally had to say, this is a quote from the court documents, quote, the parties are advised to chill. The judge said, chill the fuck out to both fucking parties. I just love that. That's where the judge is. You got to chill. The judge said, chill the fuck out to both fucking parties. I just love that that's where the judge is at. You gotta chill out. The parties

are advised to chill at this moment. What year was this? 1997. Yeah, before 9-11, people were in a better mood. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You ain't hearing that in post-9-11. You know what I mean? People are talking about chill like the future looks bright. Chill, man. You're advised to chill, bro. I have not heard that word once since 2001. Completely absent from the future. Chill, man. You're advised to chill, bro. Yeah. I have not heard that word

once since 2001. Completely absent. Well, yeah, I guess I guess it stuck around. September 10th, 2001. The last the last day of chill. Well, no, like, you know, like back then it was like,

this is as bad as it's going to get. The future looks just like it's nothing but Barbie lawsuits. Yeah, it was at the time. I remember i was in law school studying barbie law everything felt like it was going in the right direction then 9-11 happened but both suits were eventually thrown out and mattel was like you know mattel said they were disappointed and mca was like it's a it's a victory for free speech uh the band was just like this is great publicity but it's just funny that like like why they wouldn't include the song because when they're

saying like oh we don't like the sexual undertones like because if you've seen the trailer for the the film like there's a whole scene where ken keeps talking about beaching guys off and he's like anyone wants to beach him off has to beach me off first. And you're like, I mean, look. Is this Greta Gerwig, right? Yeah, exactly. I keep seeing this episode. It's so annoying. You can cut it all out.

I keep going. I never do that usually. Have you been doing that? I haven't even noticed. Oh, good, good. But I've been doing it a bunch. Yeah. I don't know why. But anyway, Greta Gerwig.

What is this going to be? Has anyone ever seen Greta Gerwig's other movies? going to be? Has anyone ever seen Greta Gerwig's other movies? What's going to happen? Barbie's going to go indie rock. Barbie actually has an existential crisis. There's going to be a Shin song playing during that. Cut my

thumb song. New slang. They're going to play that and Barbie's going to find out she shouldn't live in her dream house and she should be like a volunteer or something. That's going to be some bullshit man this is bullshit and also i'm tired of people being cast in movies that look like the people why don't we do some casting that's interesting so who you should have been ken just anybody i don't know i like the idea of samuel jackson samuel jackson as bar. Sign me up. I mean, for real. Let's do something interesting.

Like, get somebody who looks like Barbie. Wait, Chris, this is your campaign. Sam Jackson should be Barbie. Everybody. Sam Jackson should be Amelia Earhart. Sam Jackson should be everybody. And everybody should do different crazy, you know, do crazy casting. It's the end of the world.

Let's do some interesting shit. Like, oh, we'll get gretta girl we'll get gretta girl oh gretta gerwig thinking outside the box decides to get margot robbie because she looks like barbie and she talks like bar it's the worst idea already i don't want to see it and then i know what she's gonna do because if you saw what was the name of that person no no nanette or something the one who was like her other one about the lady who had a nervous breakdown and ended up being a ballet instructor i'm sorry what that movie that she did i don't know it's called licorice pizza the tangerine monkey i hate that movie so uh the um no the movie that she did last time about the woman had a nervous breakdown it's

called like on the edge or like greta gerwig goes crazy what's it called the last one she did the last one she did was as a writer about that herself she played herself or is it noah bombax was that noah bombax movie i don't know dude the movie that about the woman it's called like parakeet williams or something it's like it's it's her she plays a white lady who has a nervous breakdown and is saved by like she becomes a ballet dancer or something. It doesn't matter. I would have seen Parakeet Williams. It's going to be like Amelie. It's going to be like Amelie.

All the movies I've seen by Greta Gerwig are some variation on Amelie, which is where some like weird girls like accidentally stumbles into a twee existence. And that's what's going to happen to Barbie. She's going to end up working at a record store, and they're going to play that Shins song. All right. I love that. The Shins were also sued by Mattel, by the way. It has been pre-saged by none other than Chris Crofton. You have heard it here first, folks.

Chris, thank you so much for joining us on the Daily Zeitgeist today, man. I appreciate it. I can't believe I had to exit on that absurd, me trying to remember the name of that movie. Hey, Parakeet Williams sounds, look, I'm notoriously behind on movies, but I love Parakeet Williams. Oh, Francis Ha is what Victor said? That's it. That's it. That's it.

Parakeet Williams. It's about a lady who's like 2012 that was so long ago I was like wait what oh no I'm gonna turn my mic on hey shout out Parakeet Williams though that's oh my god I just love it please someone prompt chat GPT to write the script for Parakeet Williams

whatever that film is. All right. That's going to do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please like and review the show if you like the show. It means the world to Miles.

Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. Every great player needs a foil. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Listen to the making of a rivalry.
