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 laughstravaganza. Yeah. So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. Blake, with an intro this dumb, it's really like we need to bring in our expert guest as soon as possible, because otherwise I might shrivel up and blow away in a cloud of dust. We're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by an academic and industry leader in fighting climate change. He's currently director of the UNSW Earth and Sustainability Science Research Center and director of the UNSW Kronos 14 Carbon Cycle Facility. But much more impressively, he's also a podcast host.

His show is called Unfucking the Future. He is called Chris Turney! Hi, Jack. I'm not going to sing. No one needs to hear that. So I'm going to let it just resonate. You have people who do that for you on your show. Unfuck the future. We were saying has some of some of the most catchy little interludes.

We're unfucking the future. Blake, I thought you were going to join me and harmonize with me. I was just sometimes you're in awe of what you're watching. You know what I mean? You just want to sit back and enjoy it yourself. You know, life's hard enough. Let me take some of these treats. Yes. I was also telling you guys before we started that I played that your podcast and like the word the word fuck multiple times for my eight-year-old by accident yesterday as i was kind of listening through getting ready to talk to you and it was also the day that he happened to let me know that he knew the word fuck for the first time we were doing a crossword puzzle

and the clue was like what the blank and like softened version of some softened version would be heck and he was like so is that he he's sitting in the back seat i'm driving and we do crossword puzzles together he's like would it be fuck fuck do you think it's fuck dad i was like you you're turning eight in a couple weeks like why do you why do you but it's like it's cute because he didn't even think it was a bad thing to ask. They talk about that sometimes at school. Fuck? Is it maybe fuck? He didn't realize it was bad.

He did very well getting to seven or eight. Yeah, I know. In Australia, where I'm calling from. It's the biggest complaint I've got. It's not the language on the show. It's that earworm. It really is catchy as hell. How is tomorrow, by the way?

We haven't... Tomorrow, I'm calling you from Sydney. Yeah, it's just before five o'clock in the morning, Tuesday. And it's looking pretty good. We're still here. That's a good start. Hell yeah. I can't wait.

Can't wait? It is like 4 a.m. for you. So thank you so much for joining us at such an odd time. We really appreciate it. I never sleep, honestly. No. No. No need.

It's scary. It's all good. It's all good. And Chris, you could probably already feel the jockeying, so I'm just going to put it right out there. When we announced, when we told Blake we were going to have an expert guest on, he said, I'm going to take the lead on this one and has just been sending me passive aggressive text messages all morning saying, stay out of my way. So just so you know, there's going to be some jarring happening. Yeah, yeah. So what's Australia like?

These are my hard hitting questions. What's going on down there? Australia, what's that? Yeah, what's that like? That's probably one of the most insightful questions I've ever had. Thank you so much. Can you hear that, Jack? That's why you should shut up, Jack, and I should talk.

Your potty-mouthed child is fucking the future. That's what's happening. That's what this podcast should be called. Oh, my God. He's such a polluter. He is. He drives a Hummer to school every day. Yeah.

It's such a wonderful story. I feel my work here is done, actually. There you go. Carmen, Janie, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Fuck, I'm never ready for this carmen go first oh and also we've added that you can tell us something that you recently screencapped if you if you'd like oh oh god i got a whole folder of screenshots love that um well i'm just looking through i got

a lot of weird shit in my fucking search history but let's not talk about that let's talk about do you have to pay hospital bills? That's what I searched. And that will get into my overrated and underrated because, baby, guess what? I ain't paying the hospital bills. That's my search history. Do you have to pay hospital bills? Yeah.

I was recently on an episode of Behind the Bastards where Robert was talking about that. And I was like, what? He's like, what are they going to do? Garnish? He's like, they can't garnish your wages. They're not going to repossess my pussy.

Oh, yeah, Tucker is a big, yeah, you know, say what you want about the guy. He's got good taste in oral nicotine.

Yeah. Nicotine makes you smarter. It makes you healthier. Oh, my God. We talked about this. I think like the first time you had us on, we talked about the Tucker Carlson. Yeah.

Yeah, fuck yeah. Well, since I have you here. Yeah, I will stay addicted to nicotine the rest of my life if it means I can get a badass offset smoker in my backyard. There you go.

Wait, but then... I'm still waiting for the medical research to come in to tell me whether like zins are safe. And if they are, I'm going right i'm going right back baby doctor's number one choice wait but janie what do you do once you get the traeger i'm gonna fucking smoke with it dude what are you talking about no i'm saying but then does it end i'm saying like you said you're like if the nicotine addiction gets me a traeger then but then once you get the traeger i i guess i'll save up for some more kitchen appliance, maybe a

sous vide machine, another Traeger, a sister for it. Just start up my own smoking smokehouse. Yeah. All that's happened is that you've proved that nicotine addiction can be profitable. Like, that's...

Real. Well, Philip Morris proved that as well, but we can call your barbecue place. Janie Danger's girly meat.

All right. Come and get it. What's something you think is under in Francesca? The new

Shakira album. I don't know if anyone's had a chance to hear it. I love it. Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. There's no

English song, so it's great. I do not like Shakira singing in English. There's very limited Yalo, Lole, Lole. Yalo, Lole, Lole. But is there that trademark throat Shakira No, but that's how she sings yeah that's true isn't there's not a lot of like leaning into the yellow apparently now she's like a little

embarrassed about it but it's really good there's there's some tracks that are like a little too heavy reggaeton to carol g i like carol g but i'm like i don't need shakira to be carol g right but then i love like some of the tracks that are just classic pop like latino pop right pop rock latino or whatever the hell you know what i'm saying yeah it's so good it's a really really good album okay yeah i love it what's that what's the album mean? Like women who don't cry? Women no longer cry. Women no longer cry. And the song with Karol G is called TQG, which means Te Quedo Grande.

And in the world, like if you're saying that to a man, like Te Quedo Grande, it means like I'm too big for you. You know, just like as a person, as of this relationship like you've got a ceiling i'm bigger than you but also probably my vagina is huge giant i'm too big for you but i love that like and so to say that to pk which is this all a little bit shade on pk which we all knew that pk was like not first of all not that hot and like really shakira pk that long anyway i mean at the time you know because barcelona was doing soccer star yes yeah he's a spanish defender but yeah like at the time because barcelona there's like at the heyday of barcelona doing so well it was like damn man he was shakira like yo he can't lose and then you heard all those

stories about how like his dad was like kicking them out of the house and shit like when they were starting to separate you're like yo they were like trying to make out in the basement and the dad was like get out of here no it was like oh you want to divorce my son get you and my grandkids fucking beat it oh okay yeah and you're like sir

uh yeah tiempo sin verte tiempo sin verte look that up listen Listen to it. It's good. It's really good. Okay. I like that. Time without green, of course.

You know, and I always say that. Time without green. Yep. I'm probably mispronouncing that. I do love. Not verde. Not sin verde. No.

Not without green. Sin verte. Without seeing you. Verte. Okay. It's time without seeing you. And time without seeing you is also. Without seeing green. Verte. Okay. It's time without seeing you. And time without seeing you is also something I say all the time. All the time.

Katie, what's something you think is overrated? Overrated, I think giving friends advice. I think it's the worst idea. We should stop doing it. Okay. Give me an example. Put me in a situation where I'm fully embracing this take. Okay.

So if somebody is like, you know, I'm seeing this guy and I just don't know. What do you think? I'm not dating that person. I don't know what they're like intimately. I don't fucking know. We don't have the same taste. Right. First off, wouldn't date a man anyway.

So I can't really help you there for sure yeah and if we're friends when you said i'm dating this guy yeah what the right right tell you right now i don't know it like if we're friends then we have the same probably like mental illness like we have the same problems like comorbidities emotional comorbidities i'm not the person and i'll probably not like the person you're dating anyway so i'll might just be like nah or maybe he's nice and has like good snacks and is really friendly then i'll say hang on to him yeah yeah i've been in situations like that i i agree now i'm like what now that you say it i'm like there there are

friends you have who have like the weirdest dating habits and it does get to a point like i don't know if there's a fucking thing i can say to you that will help because there are so many other shits that are like entangled in this that it's not just like what do i do do i like dump them i'm like i don't know if it's that's the actual solution of what's going on here. Just general thinking. Like, they're not the problem. Right, right, right. From my perspective, you are actually the problem. As someone who's seen every relationship you've had.

For me, you're the common denominator here. So I don't know what else to say aside from like, you do better? I don't know. It also is very unlikable to point out people's real flaws. It turns out. Turns out. Yeah. People don't like it.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was like, well, it just feels like, you know, like you kind of don't like being single, you know, like the second you're off one, you're onto the next. And I feel like it's really those spaces in between, as Dave Matthews says says that you could really just kind of find yourself and maybe make a better decision like you don't know everything about you don't know what's going on with me i'm like see this is about just let's just not fucking talk about this let's not talk right right yeah and those friends

that come to you for every life decision it's like i really truly don't know yeah yeah yeah yeah we could talk about i'll just help you decide where we're eating dinner right right exactly low like lower that yeah let's just like kind of talk shit and watch tv kk every time you say we just should just get chicken bakes every time can we say something else and every time i ask you for relationship advice you always ask me if i've looked in the mirror recently. Wait, just to go back a little tiny bit, I felt like I didn't want to say this because it would reveal too much about myself, but did you guys see that shit on the

internet where people were getting one Costco dog, a chicken bake, you bite off the top of the chicken bake like a cigar and then jam the hot dog inside? No! Oh no! Oh no! that is fucking wild no i mean obviously i would eat it but it seems bad that seems like that's a that's a bridge too we don't need to map we don't need

to mash it up you know what i mean listen i don't like glizzies in unexpected places is not something i'm really like what about glizzies in unexpected places is not something I'm really a fan of. What about glizzies in a white cream and a hot Caesar dressing? Wait, I'm back now, actually, now that you say it like that. Yummy. Wait, but wouldn't it displace a ton of the filling?

Right, it's going to be a mess. You just got to loosen it up. Oh my God. What are we talking about now? It made it seem like this was not... That was not the hard part. The structural part is not the hard part. Don't get hung up on the engineering. Right.

Don't worry about that shit. But the filling displacement that is bound to occur when you insert an object with that kind of volume. That's the least of your problems, bro. Yeah. Yeah. What do you do with the bun?

You just have a loose bun? Just toss it. I think you do just have a loose bun. No, that's your napkin now. Or maybe that's your like bake absorbing. That's where the filling goes. Yeah. It plops out the bottom into your bun and then you eat that.

This is getting so gross. But do people like it? Or are people saying like, dude, this is the bomb. Like adding hot dog to chicken? I mean, I think the problem with, especially, I don't want to say the kids today, but with the kids today on their internet and their apps is you're so incentivized to be like, this is amazing. There's no way to know. Like, you're not supposed to be on TikTok being like, that's all right. I probably won't finish this. Right, this is amazing. There's no way to know. You're not supposed to be on TikTok being like, that's alright.

I probably won't finish this. I remember early on in the pandemic when people were like these Midwestern nurses were trying Indian food for the first time and they're like, oh my god y'all. I'm sorry, this is like chicken tico must must salad

i don't know it's so good it's like oh my god i've never had flavors like this yeah what about did you see when people were drinking beer with a glizzy straw ew yeah and people were like don't knock it till you try it. I'm like, dude, no. No. It's like fucking there's no planet. And then you don't want like an ice-cold, beer-soaked fucking Frank to eat at the end. Oh, God. Just no.

No, no, no. It's really, I mean, look, 90% of the food content on, this is me, hot take. There you go. Yeah, we know. Truly, it's because people cannot fucking cook and so all of the life hack industry is like every one of those gadgets if you know how to use a knife you would not need this thing you fucking moron right right like it's crazy yeah it's so weird and i do think genuinely it's because there's not like home ec in high schools anymore well i didn't even have home ec in high school i barely did did they have it yeah it was phased

out by the time yeah there's none yeah wow because it's because it's women's work and and it truly it was like i was like oh this is the only class that taught me something useful in high school like you need to get in that wood shop, man. Fuck around learning how an oven works. Yeah, I'm going to be making a lot of fucking benches in my life. Get the fuck out of here. No, I'm going to be biting the end off a chicken bake and fucking tossing in a glitz.

All right. Let's take a break and take an antacid tablet just from thinking about that. And we'll be right back after this. said tablet just from thinking about that. And we'll be right back after this. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series, Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed. Together, we'll be diving even deeper into the unbelievable stories behind 7M Films and L.A.-based Shekinah Church, an alleged cult that has impacted members for over two decades.

Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high-control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine. Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives. Forgive Me For I Have Followed will be more than an exploration. It's a vital revelation aimed at ensuring these types of abuses never happen again. Listen to Forgive Me For I Have Followed on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Never happen again. your career, you have a lot of questions like, how do I speak up when I'm feeling overwhelmed? Or can I negotiate a higher salary if this is my first real job? Girl, yes. Each week, we answer your unfiltered work questions. Think of us as your work besties you can turn to for advice. And if we don't know the answer, we bring in experts who do, like resume specialist Morgan

Sanner. The only difference between the person who doesn't get the job and the person who gets the job is usually who applies. Yeah, I think a lot about that quote. What is it like you miss 100% of the shots you never take? Yeah, rejection is scary, but it's better than you rejecting yourself. Together, we'll share what it really takes to thrive in the early years of your career without sacrificing your sanity or sleep. Listen to Let's Talk Offline on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months.

These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.

The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. So, Chris, you've been studying this for 30 years, kind of the meat of the period where it's gone from being a fringe subject on people's minds to a subject that's on people's minds and that everyone agrees should be like the biggest story, it feels like. But how has, like you talk about just like early days of climate in your career versus today. Like what about that contrast makes you hopeful or otherwise? Yeah, I know we've known for such a long time, you know, this amazing lady back in the 1850s, Eunice Foote, she was American and she was a very early scientist there who basically discovered the greenhouse effects and

climate change. Didn't call it a crisis or change at the time, but she realized actually pumping more CO2, carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere causes heating. So we've known about it since the 1850s. And so by the time, you know, in the 1980s or so, we were pretty clear, you know, that use of dirty energy has created this heat trapping pollution. And it's basically adding a blanket around the earth and it's causing irreversible heating. So we've known

that since the 80s. And some companies, which fossil fuel companies like ExxonMobil, actually had some of their scientists working in it in the 70s. And they knew back then. So it's been a bit of a frustration. But at the same time, you're always trying to engage with people to say, look, this is what the science is showing us, and this is looking really bad, and what we're going to do about it. And if we move quite quickly, it would be a relatively easier transition. But now we are, here we are in the 2020s, having the same conversation. My kids are now older than when I was first active in this area. And we're still trying to

get carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions down, you know, the pollution out of the air. So it's been frustrating. But at the same time, I think there's a far greater engagement these last couple of years, particularly for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere and the Western world are becoming even more aware of it. So I think there's a real energy and people want to do something. And that was really

the motivation behind the show, to be honest, because as a climate scientist, most people, I mean, I still get the crazy emails and I'll no doubt get a load more after this call, but it's one of those things where... That's our main audience, man. And we're sorry.

You walk into a wasp's nest here. And it's just one of those things where most people will ask me, what can I do? And I think that's the problem we've often had, is that here's a science now someone else go and sort it out what we're trying to do as scientists is actually work with government public actually industry business like let's get this these ideas deployed and they are happening it is super super positive just how much we're seeing these technologies deploying more and

more renewable energy sources around the world it's not just in the west so you know there's a lot of good news out there but it's it's also hearing for people what they can do individually that's the idea we talked before about on the show about how something you just made reference to like the exxon knowing about this like doing some of the most advanced research into climate change decades before I think most people even knew it was a thing. Like they were lying about it before we even knew there was an it to lie about. And so I feel like it's such a clear villain, like origin story. I just wonder like how you think about, like one of the things I like about your podcast,

like a lot of the times when I'm hearing these stories, like hearing the ExxonMobil story and them discovering that there's a problem and then being like, so how do we frame this from a marketing perspective? Yeah. You know, we don't get names. We get big corporations, and then those are hard to kind of grab onto.

But there's a couple real villains on your podcast, like Fred Singer. Oh, yes. What a piece of work, I will say. Thank you for saying that. of work, I will say. Thank you for saying that. Yeah, for those amazingly completely outrageous

characters who are out there pushing this misinformation or disinformation. They're basically creating confusion. And the whole thing has been, I mean, this is a classic thing, and you can see it on a whole lot of public debates. If you really want to just cause confusion, you just say, things aren't really that certain.

How certain are you? We know that if you didn't have carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and other greenhouse gases, the planet would go to about minus 50 degrees. And isn't it better than that, Chris? Isn't it better than that? That sounds cold to me. It sounds a little chilly.

A little bit is good, right? I think we all agree a little bit is good. And the simple thing is you add more to the atmosphere, more pollution, it'll warm things up and then heat things up. But when some of these characters like Fred Singer, this was back in the 80s, you know, creating these arguments for some of the best known scientists actually in the space and then actually working with them towards the end of their lives and basically casting doubt on their work just introduces that certainty with the public that oh maybe even the experts aren't sure just at a time when you've got this real head of steam but actually they're going to make a difference i mean exxon mobil one of my favorite things that i've been watching on online at the moment is a great adam mckay the director of just incredibly funny clever man adam mckay did uh the netflix movie don't look up he started a new sort of satirical comedy uh channel called yellow dot studios and

with rain wilson they've done this uh spoof on the game of thrones called a tale of fire and ice and you know it's the scene where they drag out the undead in a box, you know, in front of all the main characters, Jon Snow and all the others. And instead of the undead, here's Rainn Wilson dressed up as a scientist, all chained up and does this fantastic thing about the house of Exxon Mobil as being the enemy.

And if people haven't watched it, it's on YouTube. It's absolutely brilliant absolutely brilliant but it's that it's that yeah there's some great villains in this story um and and you know when i was teaching about climate change one of the first things i used to show was actually shared with students oh this report back from the 70s there's lots of them that have been released since or been leaked and and it shows back in the 70s, hey, that's some of the best scientists. They were pretty much on the money back in the 1970s. And seeing students get so cross, so cross, basically when I was born, they knew already. They knew before.

I mean, my whole life, they knew. It's outrageous, absolutely outrageous. And they still come around sort of claiming, oh, it's too expensive. No, we need to stick with fossil fuels. That's the future. It's just incredible. They're still being given their time, some of these characters.

Fred Singer, by the way, for listeners, we actually recently did a story about Lunchables, the public health disaster that is Oscar Myers. It started as Oscar Myers, but it's like a Kraft food prepackaged lunch that was given to us by Kraft food once the tobacco industry took over the food industry. And like, they were like, all right,

one thing we know how to get people addicted in a way that will make us money and kill them. Like that's, and so i just bring it up here because fred singer's background thing that prepared him to be like one of the fossil fuel industries like go-to people for so in confusion his background was so in confusion about the health effects of smoking yeah he was there he learned his craft if you want to call it that yeah amazing it's so wild that that was just this like original sin where all these professional liars were like watching each other being like hey we should draft that guy look at the talent on that ad campaign i mean he has it

all he can shoot he can dribble he can yeah exactly he don't need a team you just need uh people like that yeah exactly it is but like because you were taught i was listening to your episode i think it was the blue carbon episode oh yes and it was if we're talking about making this like a cinematic thing where we have the villains the villains seem like very clearly defined where it's almost like tragically sad and sweet that the the protagonists, the people, the heroes of this story can actually be from that environment, like the ocean or actually natural resources, which is the things that we're actively destroying are the things that can actually help us as well, which is so, you know, like kind of sad, but kind of sweet also. But yeah, I thought that was a really, really interesting episode where I've always thought, oh, it's like, we need to do this. We need like, human beings need to reverse so many of our habits, which we do. And also we, you know, the, your guest was saying we can't do it without help from the environment also. We're utilizing the environment.

was saying we can't do it without help from the environment also. No, that's right. Utilizing the environment. That's the amazing Sanjan, who's in Conservation International. And yeah, the whole idea of blue carbon is basically using the oceans. And he has this lovely quote. He says, look, if I was king of the world for just one day, I'd protect the mangrove forests, which are these incredible trees that live on the coastal plains.

And they pump down so much carbon out of the atmosphere and into the ground. I mean, it's multiple times more than tropical rainforest. These things are huge. And as you say, we go around clearing them under the guise that you get a nice view. And it's just clearing for a whole load of problems as a result. I'm a proponent personally of condos. Condos with good views of mangroves. You love mangroves.

Yeah. So, I mean, I guess you could convince me otherwise, but that's just where I'm at. We just put them in the mangroves, right? Yeah, exactly. You'll be fine. How are we going to appreciate the mangroves

if we don't have giant condos there? Thank you. No further questions, Jeroen. No, exactly. You'll be fine. How are we going to appreciate the mangroves if we don't have giant condos there? Thank you. No further questions, Jeroen. No, no. Problem solved. Unassailable point. I think the really important thing with something like as big and as enormous as climate crisis is you could go really dark really quickly. You could go that.

And there's a huge amount of challenges, massive. But the problem is if you just give that message of despair, nothing will happen. We need to get people motivated. And there's a lot of great stuff, as you say, that's happening. Putting aside the condos, there's a lot of really good things that are happening. So maybe we'll talk about the good stuff

that are happening in the world of condos on another episode. You of really good things that are happening. I'll talk about the good stuff that are happening in the world of condos on another episode. You can go ahead with yours, though. And temporary housing. Yeah. And you've got to give people hope and actually show them which way we can actually make a big difference.

I think that's uplifting. That's motivating. Yeah, and your podcast does that, which I like. Yeah, another's uplifting. That's motivating, right? Yeah. And your, your podcast does that, which I like, you know, it's yeah. Another reason why I connect with it. Oh, yes.

You, your podcast also, you know, you have the Adam McKay episode about storytelling just again. And I think your instinct of like telling your students from day one, like they have been lying to us all along. Like it does help. So when I hear the facts about, okay, like, here are the things you can do.

You can, like, change your diet, you know, which I'm joking. Like, I 100%, like, agree. There are things that we can all do to help. the vast, vast majority of this damage has been caused by these villains. I feel like there's something kind of focusing and simplifying about that that I wish was a little bit more... I don't know, maybe Adam McKay is going to make the great film about just the history of this. But I do feel like that we had it. We had the the insider about the tobacco industry that was like an Academy Award winning film. I'm looking forward to the genre of movies to come about. They're like name, like your podcast talks about. So I've probably said, I don't know, the phrase climate change a couple times at least since we started recording this episode. That phrase was invented by Republicans to downplay the problem of climate heating, like they change, they change the word from global warming to climate

change. Like Frank Luntz, who, whose name I recognize from being like a Republican pollster was, that was like his brainchild. He was like, well, if we just, if we just say climate change, you know, we're acknowledging that it's changing. Okay, don't, I can see you getting mad. We're saying, we admit it's changing. For better or worse, who's to say? You know, it's changing. That's enough. Like, that's the first step. We've admitted that.

And this is a negotiation, like, is kind of the energy that it has. And they fucking won. Like, when you search newyork York times.com results for like global warming, 66.6 global heating, like only a hundred total global warming is 66,000 climate changes, 97,000. It's like the phrase that one, and it's just what Republicans wanted to make it seem less scary when they were talking about it. And again, it's just a, I don't want to feel hopeless. At the same time, I do want to acknowledge that we are the victim of a vast, long-term, and highly successful campaign to lie to us about something before we even knew there was something

to be lied to about that is like very sophisticated. And I don't know, it just like makes it, it's like clarifying to me that like, yeah, okay, there's this, we're in a battle with a lot of different people who are putting a lot of different thought into it. We are slowly making progress on that battle in a bunch of ways that we'll soon talk about. But I just wanted to kind of hear your thoughts on that, because I was certainly a victim of calling it climate change. I think that's kind of what I referred to it as until your show told me I shouldn't be. Oh, that's beautifully put, sir. I'll definitely have you on the show next time.

But yeah, you're right. I mean, he's like a broken clock's right twice a day. He's not normally like that. Yeah, it's his kid's cousin left and right. Tough crowd, right? Tough crowd. Who do you have to work with, Jack? Is that right? But yeah. Who do you have to work with, Jack? Is that right?

But yeah, no, honestly, it's one of those things where, and change is good, right? So the perception is, oh, it's change, okay. And actually that recognition that change isn't good in this case. And actually there's a bigger issue.

I mean, some people aren't comfortable with crisis. They don't like calling it it out the same way. People have talked about global boiling, but that's another level up again. But, you know, trying to get rid of global warming to global heating, climate crisis, call it what it is. You know, we've got a major, major problem here, and it's now in our face.

This isn't something that's going to happen in 20-plus years or whatever. It's happening now. And we've got to really turn things around and basically all this procrastination and delaying is going to cost us dearly not just economically but personally and people are dying as a result so it's an enormous challenge moving forward but you know misinformation disinformation that is a big problem we've got now and a huge challenge. All this stuff is out there and people start isolating themselves. And I think that's probably one of the bigger challenges moving forward, really, is that actually they get into

their own worlds and they start thinking, oh, they've got their world view sorted and they find these bits of information and basically say oh it's not a problem and they just hone in on that it's comforting right right and and i think one of the things where it starts to see a lot more now is actually getting out there as a community getting to know your neighbors working with people realizing you're not on your own i mean the show is very much about what you can do and that's not just individually that's collectively and actually there's an awful lot of people out there who really want to do things and actually make a change but but you are right you know at the same time you're very aware that there's this our whole society is built around that's premise

here if you want fossil fuel here it is here's petrol here's gas whatever you want coal it's all there and there's nothing to see here because it's it's just one part of a mix and things have changed before and that's not true anymore you know we everyone knows you know the consensus is we've got a we've got a existential threat to be honest and now we've got to sort it out yeah yeah i mean one of uh we'll get into the lawsuit in mont, one of the lead lawyers who you have on just kind of breaks it down in this way that was very clean for me. It was like people don't need fossil fuels. Like people need a way to heat their homes and get to work, which like the the thing standing in our way is not our need for fossil fuels. It's the current structures of power and wealth creation that have been built up around fossil fuels kind of protecting themselves. It's the default. Like that's the default.

I'm going to go get gas. It's kind of similar with the vegan conversation we were having earlier where you have to say, I need to go to a vegan restaurant or a restaurant with like, not just a restaurant because a restaurant, the default of restaurants is that, oh, it's going to be primarily like meat based. So that is really, yeah, that's a really good point. Yeah. But all right. So let's take a break. We'll come back. We'll talk about some of the solutions that you guys talk about in your show.

We'll be right back. And we'll be right back. Thank you, Blake. And we will be right back. Thank you, Blake. And we will be right back. Yeah.

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

infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current.

Available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We're back. We're back? Holy shit, we're back.

Holy shit. where were we seriously i slept through that whole break sorry miles just miles is micro napping for like three seconds in between every time i start talking his head just goes down and uh yeah and i told how was that trump story for you by the way was We talking about Trump? Yeah, we did talk about Trump. Yeah, yeah, fuck that dude. That's what I'm saying. So you disagree with the story about Trump feeding

millions of homeless people and building wells in Africa? I'm for that. I mean, yes. Guy looks like a Cheeto The orange one Alright let's talk about Somebody who's

Kind of shares complexion With Donald Trump and that is Dog the Bounty Hunter And hairstyles they're both hair icons Hair icons for sure Is that a wig? They both have hair icons. Yeah, they're hair icons for sure. Wig? Is that a wig? I don't know. They both have hair that looks like it was designed to launch a thousand Halloween wigs.

Yeah, 100%. Yes. But yeah, very unserious person, Jesse Waters, had Dwayne Dog Chapman on so the racist with skin as soft as welder's gloves could promote his new book. And despite this being like a promo stop, Waters fucking decided, he's like, you know what, man? I know you got a book.

Let's just get into it. Man, what about these motherfucking immigrants? And that led to an interesting exchange of ideas between the two. And by that, I mean, here's Dogg the bounty hunter talking about immigration. Oh, Lord. Oh, hell yeah. Go get it together. of ideas between the two and by that i mean i i don't know here's dog the bounty hunter talking about immigration oh lord oh hell yeah bracing go get get it together here we go when you

approach these people whether they're migrants or outlaws yes sir this is what we're when you approach these people whether they're migrants i'm just already we're starting off on the wrong same thing same death yeah we're going to on the wrong. Same thing. Same death. Yeah. We're going to be looking at, do you have any advice for Donald Trump? If he assumes office again, is he going to make you deportation czar?

I would like a job like that. And it doesn't matter who you are, what, what nationality, what tribe you belong to. If you're a lawbreaker and you're in this country illegal and you were booted from another country because you were a felon and told to go to America, that's where we're going to start is the high priority, the top of the echelon. And they are

going back and or they're going to jail. When I first started bounty hunting 45 years ago, there were two bounty hunters. Today, there's 6,500. There's new laws. You can't be convicted of a felony in the last 10 years. We use non-lethal weapons that'll drop a mule. So get ready. What kind of non-lethal weapons would you use? Well, the newest one they've got is the new pepper ball gun, and it's designed to spin the body.

The new pepper ball gun? it's designed to spin the body the new pepper ball does not enter if you unless you i had to take a 40-hour course you cannot shoot above the neck or it would kill them so pop pop and they're down that's it and what you want to do is put the person down to cuff them and then go from there right so i for one don't think it's good to have a nation full of little Kyle Ritten houses running around, just fucking shooting beanbags at Mexican families and stuff. That will take their head off if you hit them above the shoulders. If you don't have a 40-hour training course. I also, I just gotta say real quick, I have not thought about dog the bounty hunter for a solid decade since the south park episode yeah yeah or since he got canceled screaming like about

his son's black girlfriend he was like oh you really like using the n-word don't you dude i don't even remember that that's how that's how his show got canceled because like this like voicemail leaked and they're like oh boy it's like come on y'all didn't see this man's face and they're like oh no he don't use the n- word no not him same for like paula dean like he's like yeah she probably is racist i can see yeah there's a few phrases that they had to be like you know what you actually can't say that paul yeah it's not uh i know it may be a colloquialism to you but we don't we can't do that but i like i was like you can't be a bounty hunter if you've committed a felony in the last 10 years uh because this dude he was convicted of third degree murder in 1976 when he was like yeah he was the getaway bounty hunting too hard miles he was the getaway

driver during what he called a drug deal gone bad but but it sounds like a robbery gone bad. You know, I'm not going to, like, fact check his, like, statements about, like, there are 6,500 bounty hunters, but I'll be honest, I kind of believe it. Like, I kind of believe that, like... Because of him. The, like, right wing in this country

has become, like, so, like, I don't know. Like, I just have to mention Kyle Rittenhouse again. Like, it's all, like, people with, like, mentalities like that where they know like i like i just have to say mention kyle rittenhouse again like it's all like people with like mentalities like that where they've been like so like programmed to like hate like so many other people and not really have even like sort of like a materialistic reason why to right but then you're doing it you're doing it in service of like this oppressive system of bonding out of prison or out of jail and shit like that. Like, you're reinforcing that debt to be like, guess what?

One of these people will find you with a gun that's non-lethal unless they shoot you in the neck and above. And then they will kill you. Is that non-lethal? I do think it's funny. Like, I don't know. Like, imagine, like, one of these freaks, like, because he says, like, yeah says like yeah if you're like a murderer who's killed like 47 times and you got kicked out of your country for killing so much and now you're like are you talking like look i like if we're talking about like like fucking cartel hitman

yeah i probably don't want them walking the streets either but like what the fuck are you what is some fucking like tumbleweed from like nebraska who like it's like i'm gonna become a bounty hunter he's gonna go up to like a cartel guy and they will torture him in a storage unit for years like he will never see him again bad v dog the bounty hunter yeah i know right i oh well yeah he will instantly wake up in like the hostile room like it's over the other thing i always think about with him is like he always claims to be native american you know like he wears feathers in his hair and shit like that he said he could use the n-word because i'm an apache was what he said and you're like oh sure that's a bit

of a jump yeah but like many especially in like the native american community are pretty dubious about that fact because he's so consistent about what tribe he says he belongs to and most people can't find anything that suggests that his mother who he claims is native american isn't just a normal like every regular degular white person and some people who have supposedly looked into it it's not really it's hard to say like this is these are the facts and truth but they say maybe it happened because in her past she said she had spent time on a reservation and then just started yeah i'm native american what are you native american yeah i haven't heard one of those like

uh yeah i'm i'm 10 percent cherokee like kind of white people in a while. I thought that was dying out. Elizabeth Warren made that tough for sure. Yeah. I was going to say Cher, but you know. Right. But then he said. Now Cher's Armenian. Recently he said, quote, I've always had a pretty distinguishable look.

Hell, it makes me easy to identify in a lineup. And you're like, because you're what? Because you claim to be a third or half or whatever kind of background you're trying to anyway so that man uh yeah he's hawking some kind of book and i think he's on to his seventh wife now and he just i think in the last two years he found out he had a 13th child that he didn't know about oh my god who was like a full-grown adult by the time they met so yeah he's he's doing all right he's doing all right. He's doing all right. And his oldest son, I think is in a jail for a hate crime.

So the family is killing. Yeah. Yeah. Literally. He really does look like he's wearing a Doug bounty hunter, like Halloween costume. That's like out of the box. Like it does like not a very good one,

you know? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a hard, it's a hard look to rock a leather shirt and wearing wraparound sunglasses all the time.

I mean, I'll say he's done a good job of matching his extensions to his natural hair color because usually you're talking about reality. He's got that kind of saggy Botox look. Saggy Botox. Yeah.

This was once all tight and immovable. saggy Botox. Like, look, saggy pillow face. Yeah. Yeah. This was, this was once all tight and removable. Oof. All right. And finally, Germany has passed a landmark trans rights law after legalizing weed earlier in the month. Uh, we got another W for Germany.

Wow. I can't remember when, I mean, they're nailing it. Non-stop. 100%. A plus Germany. No. But they did become the latest country to pass legislation making it easier for transgender, intersex and non-binary people to change their name and gender in official records. It's the so-called self-determination law. they'd been promising it since 2021 yeah because the process before this is like you needed like a pathology like you need to go through a pathologizing process for for like an expert to figure out if it was like they're like well according to me after

i've asked them all kinds of weird questions some completely irrelevant uh about asking about their childhoods or this or that like uh they are approved to change their name or gender on like official government documents. So they've they've they've taken they've done away with that, which, you know, apparently has been going on for many, many years. Four decades old. Yeah. Four decades old was the law before this. Yeah. I mean, that's still the way it is here in Georgia. Right. You know, and in a lot of places. So I'm happy to see it changing across the world. But it sounds...

I mean... Okay. Obviously, this is something that was promised in 2021. But do we think that this is like a PR spin for Germany? And maybe to kind of distract from their recent... I'm not willing to hand it to germany for a while

like the only news that i've seen out of germany lately is them like just basically doing like this weird like neo form of like notification but like in the name of, like, Israel, and I, Germany is a very, like, weird, fucked up country that I do not fully, like, understand all of the, uh, I don't know, I'm not, like, a history major or anything like that, but, like, it is very strange, and you can see it in a lot of their, like,

cultural, like, stuff, like, there's a lot of, like, guilt, and there's a lot of, like, I can definitely see them, like, just, look, I mean, there's a lot of like i can definitely see them like just look i mean there's a very you see this in america too where like nothing like take like the black lives matter like movement like you know like that was like a huge huge thing and what really happened you know uh cleveland is voiced by a black person now, you know, like the only things that get changed are like minor social things that you can move the needle on. We can't go after systemic things, Jamie.

Come on. Yeah. Yeah. So that's why, like, I mean, I don't know. It's true because there's also there was that thing, too, where for a while they were like, in Germany, racism doesn't exist. They're like, oh, yeah. Can we see the data on that? They're like, oh, we don't have data on that.

Yeah. Why don't you sort of fuck up? Okay, so that, I don't know if you can quite claim that W, but yeah, at the same time, right, there was a pro-Palestinian, there was a meeting of like the Palestinian Congress and all these people were coming in, activists, and they were stopping people from entering the country.

And then when the event happened, like the police came in and broke it up. So, yeah, it's definitely like there's so many things. It's like the U.S. too, where you can point to these sort of narrow kind of victories. But even with the Supreme Court yesterday, they also kept on the, like basically said, yeah, Idaho is free to, quote, protect the children or whatever by banning gender affirming care for youth. is free to quote protect the children or whatever by banning gender affirming care for youth so it's you know it's always like everything is kind of where we put the focus but yeah to your point janie it's like what the systemic stuff yeah yeah they do the one for you one for us and the one for us is always like you know yeah not not that significant and doesn't actually like just a gesture of like

yeah of yeah just like oh well we put a rain we have a rainbow flag in the the uh capital building now or something right like okay great but we're legally codifying discrimination yeah yeah you can change your name for when uh we sign you up for the Hunger Games in America, where you're forced into the most dangerous game, Battle Royale Conscription, for being trans. You can pick your own pronouns for that. Part of a deal with NBC. Your desk won't even be on TV.

It'll be on Peacock, though. It's the new Mr. Beast video. We hunted 100 trans people to death. The amount of times that, like, Twitter is just shoving that shit down my throat. Mr. Beast bullshit? Mr. Beast bullshit. What the fuck is going on with this?

It's like, I created a thousand wells in Africa. Yeah, I see that one all the time. The one before that was like, I locked a thousand people into a grocery store to see how long they could survive. And then the next one, like maybe, did he like get bad PR for that previous one? So he's like, I made a thousand wells in Africa. He does. It's sort of what you just said. The one for you, one for me.

Yeah, exactly. He does like little games and then he does ones that are just like charitable. Right. He's like, I bought everybody in Walmart everything they wanted. Hot take here that you might not expect coming from me, but I don't, I kind of like Mr. B.

I think he may, I think if you're going to be like, if you're going to be a rich person with like the GDP of like mr b i think you may i think if you're going to be like if you're going to be a rich person with like the gdp of like a small country in central america i think the least evil thing you can do is just make silly little games on youtube and stuff i don't know like yeah like at least you're building wells yeah the videos of like uh the one of like the i made a hundred different countries like compete like stuff like that it's fun it's just fun little videos i don't know like i feel like that's as far as like uber uber uber wealthy people go like i think if you're just making little games and like videos and stuff you know it's kind of fun and kids watch that yeah and they want to be mr beast they want to be somebody who like gives out

like free lasik or like free cochlear implants to children they like want to be it's kind of cute you know right they want to have their own they want to have their trans friend that they can yeah you know bury people alive with like that's what we all want you know i liked the one where he uh handcuffed that guy to a pipe and was like if you want to leave you have to saw your own arm off yeah yeah i like that one too yeah it's just kind of but like you know there's a cynicism to it too because it's like this sort of like philanthropy via clicks sort of thing you know where it's like is it coming from a good place too but then i, at the end of the day,

if you're zooming out, the wells... I was just doing a search. I'm like, did he actually build the wells? And I don't see anything saying that that did not happen. No, I totally agree. I think there was a big thing about the one where he got

blind kids, bought them all surgery to make them not blind. Site- them all like surgery to like oh like yeah not restoring surgery something with yeah yeah look i i don't i don't know i might be wrong on this but i don't think the problem is like him doing that i think that's fine like i agree about the senate the cynical nature of it but i think that the main kind of like takeaway is like, there's a surgery that makes kids not blind and you don't just give it to kids. Like, it takes this fucking asshole with a YouTube channel to do it. That's fucking crazy. Like, I think I do cringe, though, when I see those people go up to like street vendors and like they're just like, hey, I want to give you this money.

And then I look at the camera and they're like, hey hey look at what your boy did you know what i mean and so it yeah because the video's over all right give it back man give it back yeah no right because i mean like at the at the end of the day you know it's just like when you hear those quote-unquote feel-good stories about like how like a teacher was on a southwest flight and the person they were sitting next to overheard that they were struggling to get materials for their class. So they anonymously donated whatever. And you're like, oh my gosh. It's a feel-good band-aid for systemic problems.

Yeah, the story is actually about how little we're funding our public education or the story is about how little access to clean water people have. And it's like, everyone's like, but Mr. Beast though. So, but I get it too. Like, you know, I've seen some of the stunts that he's pulling i'm like oh shit man you can't do that with a regular youtube channel like you need you need real money but i think that's what what's

interesting too all those videos i've read though too like are sort of built on the backs of all these brand deals that he does prior to it yeah it's not a lot of times it might not be coming out of his pocket but anyway this, these are the complexities of our modern media. Mr. Beast buried a hundred people alive, brought to you by Lowe's. Brought to you by Caterpillar.

Somebody needed to fill the space that Oprah left behind. Right. Yeah. You get a car. Remember that though?
