Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of the weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from this week, all edited together into one nonstop infotainment laugh-stravaganza. So without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist. All right, guys.

So I did want to just check in. So this caught my eye, that Equalizer 2, the Denzel Washington vehicle, his first sequel in his career, ended up at number one over the weekend. It made $34 million just in America alone. And this jogged my memory back to the Sony hack, which I know we don't like to give North Korea that, that they revealed some problematic things about our country, but they did. I don't like to think about the Sony hack and remember that that was simpler times.

Right. Yeah. I know. Isn't that crazy? And you're like, dude, James Franco needs to watch out. They do not like him. But there was this email thread where this producer was waxing philosophical about whether or not they should greenlight this movie.

The sequel or the first one? The sequel. Got you. Equalizer 2. And his whole thing was, look, babe, Denzel is my favorite actor of his generation, period, point blank. He's the best. But.

But. Out of the hammer. But we can't green light it unless you just want to hit singles. I'm looking to hit home runs. And the fact is that African-Americans do not do well overseas. And he was like, basically, other countries are racist. And therefore, I'm saying that we shouldn't make a movie with a black man in the lead. So even though our country is so progressive, we haven't figured out that these people in Greece.

Here's the flow chart. We've solved racism. Okay, next step. What about these other countries? No. Also, I'm pretty sure bad boys did really well overseas. And bad boys, too. And Bad Boys 2. And it's Denzel.

Will Smith is widely seen as the last American movie star who can open a movie just regardless of what movie it is overseas. People are just like, yeah, Will Smith is the last movie star. But this dude wanted to sound... I feel like there's this kind of bias where it's like, oh, well, it's a harsh truth, but that must mean it's true. That must mean that it's a smart thing to say. Yeah. Ben Shapiro type shit. you look at the movies that were made for the vast majority of movie history and including up till now and, you know, how many just white male leads there are, like just a shocking number.

And it's like you don't think that they're like, look, we got to make it a white male lead. We got to make movies with white men in the lead role, like specifically, like actually voicing that in emails. White man in the email. Apparently, yeah, apparently they were. And, you know, it's a self-fulfilling thing because they match the production budget, however much it costs to make, with a marketing budget. And if you think that, you know,

based on your brilliant analysis of the marketplace overseas that it's not going to make its money back. You probably hold back a little bit on the marketing budget, so therefore that probably hurts things. Right. What is the movie about? The Equalizer? Denzel Washington is a superhero, basically.

Yeah, for real. He's the best at killing. In, like, seconds. Yes. He can guess how many seconds it would take him to kill a room full of people. And he knows exactly based on his surroundings how many ways

he could kill you. So he's like Rain Man but with murder? Sort of, yes. Do you remember the TV show? That was an old white dude. Yeah. And it was called The Equalizer and he would just go around like writing wrongs on like the down low for people.

Oh, shit. Yeah, and now that's essentially what Denzel is doing. But I think the first one he kind of gets pulled into it a little bit, and it seems in the second one he's back into it. He's like, this is me. He's just trying to lead a quiet life as, like, a cab driver in Boston. Yeah, like under siege. Then he sees some shit.

Yeah. There's this young woman who reads literature in a cafe at night and she comes in and she's had a fucked up life and he tries to take care of her and then she gets fucked up by the Russian mob. I was literally going to say what the Russian

mob shows up. Takes down the entire Russian mafia by himself. In 58 seconds. It is so much fun. It's basically like if the Taken franchise had stayed about as good as the first Taken and had a, like I think Liam Neeson's a good actor, but had like the best actor playing the lead role.

It's like Mercury Rising meets Taken meets John Wick. Right. Okay. It's got some John Wick in it. Meets Under Siege meets Taken meets John Wick. Right. Okay. It's got some John Wick in it. Meets Under Siege. Meets Under Siege. Great. And that's what you call an elevator pitch.

My favorite thing in all those movies is that one scene where somebody tells someone else who they're dealing with. Right. Well, you don't know who this guy is? Oh, yeah. Oh, let me tell you. So-and-so has blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Because there's a big scene like that in Under Siege, which is the first one I remember.

Like, he's not just a cook. This blah, blah, blah, blah. There's a big scene like that in Under Siege, which is the first one I remember. He's not just a cook. This guy, black ops, special. Someone finally gives someone else a rundown of who they're dealing with here. It's always my favorite. Just a chef, man. What was the thing in that Mark Wahlberg preview where he was like, you need to be careful, man? He's like, you need to be careful, bro. He's like, you should be careful, bro.

You're talking to Mark Wahlberg himself, man. You gotta do to be careful, bro. He's like, you should be careful, bro. Oh, you're talking to Mark Wahlberg and myself, man. Yeah, I do it all day, bro. Have you seen the preview for his newest movie? Mile 22. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, man. Oh, you know what movie you're thinking of? Contraband, I think.

And in the trailer, he's like, oh, what? You think you're the only person who brought a gun? No, it was Mile 22. Oh, it was Mile 22? Yeah, because we just watched it a couple weeks ago and it was something he's like you should be careful or like so the bad guy you should be careful bro you should be careful dude so sasha baron cohen the second episode of what is america who is america yeah aired last night i just read recaps of it because I do not have Showtime.

But, Miles, you watched parts of it? Yeah, I use the internet to not pay for Showtime and find ways to watch it. But, yes, today's. So last week everybody was getting real hot and bothered by the whole kindergarten segment where, like, GOP congressmen were like, yeah, arm kids. And basically, like, this one dude had, you know, we went over that. So this week, the man in the hot seat is Jason Spencer, who is a Georgia state representative. So he works in the state legislature and he. Sam Michaels, right?

Yeah. Sam Michaels, Jason Spencer. So he, I mean, just to give you some background, he's had a few, you know, he's a little bit of a controversial guy, whether it comes to standing up for. He's a Georgia Assemblyman, is what you mean. Yeah, like caping for Confederate statues or having like anti, you know, hijab or burqa bills. So here at the beginning of the segment on this is Who is America? They sort of did a quick greatest hits of sort of Jason Spencer's history in the assembly. My name is Jason Spencer. I'm a state representative in the Georgia General Assembly.

That's the House of Representatives. Jason Spencer, a Republican, threatened his former Democratic colleague after she criticized his support of Confederate monuments on Facebook. Representative Jason Spencer says his bill is definitely in response to mass terrorists. House Bill 3 would make it illegal for people to conceal their faces in public. Okay, so he likes, you know, we get where he falls on the- He likes fascism. Yeah, the political spectrum. Didn't he also say that one of his opponents would potentially go missing or like has to watch her back or something? That's when he said, yeah, he intimidated someone for criticizing a Confederate monument bill or something.

Yeah, there was like another elected official, a black woman, who was like, maybe Confederate monuments aren't a good idea. And he was like, careful, bitch, you might go missing. Yeah, that's not a hypothetical in the South. Like, that's a thing with a lot of horrifying history. It's actually not a hypothetical anywhere. Yeah, that's a very good point.

So, suffice to say, he's a racist Islamophobe. We kind of get it. So Sacha Baron Cohen- A lot of those don't cover your face bills are also about anti-fascist action because people cover their faces to just not get recorded. So there's a lot of bills like that, not just in Georgia, but all over the place. So it's sort of a, it's a two for one. You get to hit the burqa thing and you get to hit the antifa thing.

So in this one, Sacha Baron Cohen dusted off his ex-Massad Israeli Special Forces character with the exaggerated face. Who is still in this season. That somehow people still look at this and go, that's a human from Earth. That's not a Dick Tracy villain. That is a human being with a normal face. That guy's face moves normally. So they started to do some exercises where he was running them through what to do,

how to deter a would-be kidnapper. And so one of the first ones is like, yeah, take your clothes off or like, you know, literally shove your ass in someone's face because maybe homophobia is actually a good way to keep yourself safe. So this is just like a quick soundbite of one of the drills they did when he was like, OK, so imagine a guy's got a gun. He's like, you're coming with me. What do you do? And then listen to this thing. And picture this man, this state assemblyman with his bare ass out, and he's charging Sacha Baron Cohen, who has a pistol in his hand. Show me your weapon. Go. I'll touch you. I'll make you a homosexual. You drop that gun right now. USA. USA. I, what? Can I just hear that one more time? That's my new ringtone. Show me

your weapon. Go. I'll touch you. I'll make you a homosexual. You drop that gun right now. USA! USA! I'll touch you. I'll make you a homosexual. Drop that gun. USA. I'm making a t-shirt right now with that on it. I cannot believe this man put his bare

cheeks out there like that. Yeah, he's running backwards at him. Running backwards. USA, buddy, USA. With his ass forward. Ass forward. You know, showing their ass really saved a lot of those guys at Abu Ghraib. Yeah.

Those guys at Abu Ghraib, they were like, wait a second, hold on, what if I show you my ass? And then, you know. That was the secret the whole time. They were like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Cannot touch you. Don't want to be gay. Yeah. Well, we'll see. So this guy, they went on and they kind of upped the stakes a little bit more. So they're still doing, this is how you protect yourself.

Because the whole time, Sacha Baron Cohen's like, you know, you could be kidnapped by ISIS. So the way you talk. And Jason Spencer is like, yes. Yes, I believe that. So this. And Jason Spencer is like, yes. And he's like, yes, uh-huh, uh-huh, yes, I believe that. So this next one, he's like, okay, so we're going to do one more because aside from taking your clothes off, a lot of it is about attracting attention to yourself by like screaming or cursing. So people notice that you're being kidnapped.

Exactly, to bring attention to yourself. So this is the real cool point. Yeah, so this is him saying, okay, now let's do the screaming part. In America, there is one forbidden word. It is the N-word. Now, I am going to be the terrorist. You have three seconds to attract attention. Go!

Nigger! Nigger! Nigger! Nigger! Are you crazy? The N-word is noonie. Not this word. This word is disgusting.

Fucking looks like Eric Cohen, man. He's really disgusting. Fucking what's up, Baron Cohen, man? He's really good at his job. Yeah, he really... And so this, suffice to say, this has gotten our man Jason Spencer in some hot water. I mean, I think he's already been primaried out, so he's not going to be in office. He's not really going anywhere. But, you know, it's weird because this morning on news shows, they're like, is Sacha Baron Cohen going too far?

Right. Like, is this ethical or whatever? Like, he's getting racist to be racist. On camera? On camera. This has never happened, especially not in Borat, the movie we all fucking know him from. Right. This is why I think it's actually journalism, what he's doing, because a lot of the shit-

That's going a little far. because a lot of the shit- That's going a little far. Well, a lot of the shit that you get people saying, there's a segment where he has a town where they think that he's building a mosque there, and they just get outraged and start saying all this crazy racist shit. This is not stuff that he's making them say.

This is just stuff that they would not normally say in front of a camera if it was the news. But he manages to put them in situations where they say the things that we only suspect they say. But do you think it's journalism in that like I feel like it's political satire that is just very eye open. I don't know the journalism part, I guess. I would not call it journalism. Because he's duping them into behaving like that. The whole point of journalism is like being open.

You cannot secretly record a conversation as a journalist and use it as a source. You know what I mean? There's off the right. Like there's there's supposed to be ethics in journalism. So if this is journalism, it's probably better journalism than a lot of what we see. Right. But it doesn't, you know, like, does it reveal stuff about our country? Yes.

Is it journalism? No, man. It's fucking art. Right. This is art. Yeah, that's fair. The word you're looking for is art. It's a glimpse of a part of reality that we don't normally see.

Well, there's also, like, there's a lot of people that say this shit on camera all the time. Right, right. They're just on different parts of the internet than the ones I go to. Yeah, because you don't want to see that. Yeah, and they're not even not in la man they're in fucking orange like i saw a video uh from this guy who just like works in works in orange county just straight up a video clip of a lady being like get out of my country and he was like i'm just fixing your neighbor's fence and she was like yeah she was like i hate you and he was like why do you hate me and she was like because you're mexican yeah like verbatim i hate you because And he was like, why do you hate me? And she was like, because you're Mexican. Yeah. Like verbatim.

I hate you because you're Mexican. And he was like, there was somebody filming. I think either somebody he was working with or his mom or something. He was like, someone's filming you. And she was like, I hate you. Yeah. Yeah. Definitely, what he does, I think, is he creates a safe space for racists to just be like, oh, OK, I'm going to talk my shit now.

Especially that mosque one. He either pushes them to an outrage point where they think, all right, fuck it, I'm going to say what I think because this is the thing that they're scared of. They're scared a mosque will be built in their town and that they'll be taken over by Muslims and then suddenly fucking- You're a Muslim now or something. Fort Wayne, Indiana is under Sharia law. Right.

Yeah. And that's what they're afraid of. And they're like, all right- And they're like, all right- Where they just don't- At the end where he's like, well, we have black people and they're lucky they're here. We tolerate them. And you're like, all right. It's crazy to listen to them though too where they just don't, at the end where he's like, well, we have black people and like they're lucky they're here. We tolerate them. And you're like.

Who said that? Was that Jason Spencer? No, that's going like further on in the clip of like the mosque town hall thing. And you realize, damn, like it's, he really just like just pulled the curtain back on Right. And that was like a thing that I hadn't heard. That was a thin curtain. Right.

That was a thing I hadn't heard racists say before. So from that perspective, it was like, yeah, that's a- That we barely tolerate black people? Right. Well, just that they feel like they're doing everyone a favor by tolerating people of other races. It was just like a weird sort of warped version of- Yeah, just sort of a new spin on racism. A new spin on racism.

It's like, I'm doing the good thing, not getting violent and trying to terrorize these people out of my town. Yeah, this is what a lot of quiet racists are like. I'm a fucking saint, man. You put me on a damn stamp because I have not lynched anyone this year. And last night's episode was also featured

the Dick Cheney interview where he got Dick Cheney to autograph a waterboarding kit. That rules. There was also a part where he basically said that he used the waterboarding technique to interrogate his wife because he thought she was being

unfaithful to him and Dick Cheney laughed at that. Dick Cheney is the monster we all thought he was. Yeah, he's fucking Darth Vader. Hey guys, remember this guy who sucked? Still really bad. Yeah, exactly. What is something that's underrated?

Besides Nancy Kerrigan. I mean, she is a goddess who walks among us. Underrated is always underrated. Can't rate them enough is the freaking Zeitgang. Woo! Oh, why?

Every single show I did, last week I did like 10 or 11 shows, Zeitgang was out for every damn show. Really? In every damn seat. At least a couple people

and for some reason, Philly is popping off. With Zeitgang? With Zeitgang. Uh-oh. Out of the air. It was great. I mean,

it was so great to get to meet everybody and talk to, someone was like, Jack O'Brien's my freaking hero. It was great. I mean, it was so great to get to meet everybody and talk to it. Someone was like, Jack O'Brien's my freaking hero. I was like, me too. Cool. But here's the thing. I met him. Don't meet your hero.

Don't meet your hero. Big All Lives Matter guy. Don't let him on stage. He'll say some problematic stuff. Hey, man. Blue Lives Matter too, man. That's pretty cool. Preserve the Jack O'Brien

that you love in your head and never meet him. The spit take guy. No, but it was so great to meet everybody and talk to everybody. It was, yeah, the best. That's awesome.

Way to go, guys. Zyke gang, you know, we're internationally known and locally respected. It's very true. Because it's a show of love. But really, they should be thanking us for introducing them to Jamie Loftus.

They should be thanking me for working at Playboy and not remembering that Jamie and I worked together. I reposted that picture the other day of Cooper Hefner coming to my going away party on a Segway. Did you see that? Oh, okay. What? Cooper Hefner is... For background, Jamie and Miles. I used to work at Playboy doing their video content,

and Jamie worked there too. And at the time, I was on my way out, and I think Jamie had started, I think we overlapped for maybe five months, four months. Something like that. But our departments were never, because I worked at the magazine. Yeah, you worked on that side of the office,

and then I was with the digital freaks that the magazine was like, dude, these guys are fucking losers. Basically, right. I was with the digital freaks that the magazine was like, dude, these guys are fucking losers. Basically. I was analog back then. It was a simpler time. Yeah, yeah. We didn't know we were about to be enemies.

But anyway, so Cooper Hefner is now running the company into the ground because he's like, I think, 27. He's like, bring my titties, please. Yeah. And he's like, Playboy's gotta be like a sick lifestyle brain. He's like, that's what we're gonna have,

like parties at Coachella. And it's like, that's not the problem, dude. So he's like, Playboy's got to be like a sick lifestyle brain. He's like, that's what we're going to have like parties at Coachella. And it's like, that's not the problem, dude. So my last day, I did get laid off from Playboy on my birthday. Cool. And it was very chill. But I really liked my coworkers that I worked with at the magazine. And they were very nice. And like it wasn't their call.

And they're like, well, we'll throw you a goodbye party slash happy birthday party. So I got like the saddest cake of all time. We were downstairs in the bar area with this really sad cake. And Lil Coop, because he's Lil, Lil Coop comes up on his hoverboard. And he rolls up. We've never met before. He's like, hey, why is everyone looking so bummed out? And my boss was like, we just had to lay off our employee on her birthday.

He's like, oh, bummer. Took a slice of ice cream cake and just disappeared from my life forever. But there's the picture of Lil' Coop on this little. Oh, my God. He just rolled the fuck up. That office gives me nightmares. Yeah, it was a troubling office. Why was there an open bar 24 hours a day?

I don't know. That was disturbing. Wow. I don't know. Some really darkest timeline stuff going on. I just like the idea, too, that he would pull up to be like, oh, that's a bummer. Take a slice of cake and then do like a 360 in it. Like a cool move on the way.

He's like, bummer. Bye. And it was just like one of those things where it's like, man, we're not going to address that today. There's too much going on. That's amazing. That guy is my new hero. So Cooper Hefner, pretty underrated, I think.

Yeah, I guess is the moral of this story. And he's a tiny man that probably doesn't want anybody to know that, correct? He's right. I mean, and I love La Petite Mail, but Coop, yeah, no, he's a very insecure La Petite Mail. Right. Who rides around on a hoverboard because it probably adds like five to six inches. When you say small man, we're not talking about his height. Right. Speaking of inventors who don't feel guilty enough for their inventions, Facebook's stock is taking a big dive right now.

They have lost, I think, $120 billion in valuation. Technically, I think $123 billion. $123 billion. Overnight. To put that in perspective, Twitter's market cap is $33 billion. So Facebook just lost four Twitters, and that was all overnight. And Snapchat is, I think, only 17. So yeah, I think that's how you realize Yeah. And Snapchat is, I think, only 17. Right.

So, yeah, I think when you really, that's how you realize how fucking big Facebook is because that was only, what, I think a 20% there. I think they started at 629 yesterday and they opened at 506. Yeah. Anybody checking on Mark? Mark, you okay, man?

Mark is he? Yeah, check on old Nark Zuckerberg and see how he's doing. Hey, Mark, you guys okay? They try and spin it though because it was about their earnings report and they're like well we're doing it because we're spending a lot on security and like algorithms and machine learning to make sure we you know we we keep stories in about uh uh fucking alex jones telling people to shoot robert muller

or you know holocaust deniers and things like i don't know that's but they're saying it's a lot of spending that they're doing to get your safety back. just looking for an excuse to kind of jump off the bandwagon. And yeah, like you said, Miles, they're treating it as a technical issue, like, okay, well, technically, like we had this issue, and now we're addressing it. But I think we're seeing in recent days that this is a fundamental philosophical question that I don't know is answerable, where they're basically saying, you know, they're not willing to take complete responsibility for what people learn on Facebook and the information that gets disseminated. And that information is like leading to mobs murdering innocent grandmothers in India.

Right. It's leading to Alex Jones saying that he thinks Robert Mueller is a pedophile and- Ethnic cleansing. Yeah. Ethnic cleansing. Yeah, ethnic cleansing is happening. And so there was this meeting where somebody was trying to explain, the guy who's, I think, in charge of the algorithm, or actually he's in charge of their new video player.

And he was saying, what we're trying to do is make it so that if you are saying something that is untrue, you're allowed to say it as long as you're an authentic person. We try to make it so that it doesn't get much distribution. So those are kind of different things. So basically, he's saying, you can say whatever you want, and we won't distribute it. But that requires like, I don't know, there's not a clear philosophical outlook there.

Right. Well, I guess it's just sort of like we respect your right to say whatever, but it's not a right that people have to hear it all over the place. But that seems like a very difficult thing to accomplish because it's a lot of judgment involved and they can't make a judgment call on every single one of these. I mean, they can't even make a judgment call on every single one of these i mean they can't even make a judgment call on holocaust deniers right like yeah mark zuckerberg recently said that it's okay to be a holocaust denier he's trying to use this like national standard for free speech right and that doesn't really cut it and for a media outlet that has like direct and untraceable access into like 20 percent of the global population's brain and probably like a much larger chunk of the global population that is up on two feet

affecting change since it's mostly like you know youngish people in other countries and then in our country at least able-bodied people do you use facebook ever not anymore not as much i won't say not anymore but like to post a show be like hey right but i'm not like oh what's going on because i remember i started off being like really hyped on it and being like oh shit here's that homie from elementary school that moved away years ago or people mistaking me for someone they thought was a long-lost classmate and then i would post my vacation photos. Yeah, you post on somebody's timeline. Hey, what's up? Not anymore.

Yeah, now I'm like, I don't know, maybe it's the luster. I don't know, it's less attractive to me or like I'm like, it's a garbage dump. Yeah, I'm like,

I don't get the thrill of using Facebook as I used to and then once you look at all the shit that's been going on. Dude, Mark's listening, man. Be gentle.

That's fine. Hey, motherfucker, go cry on your pile of billions of dollars, fam because we're coming for that shit too but like the, yeah, I don't know. It seems not as useful, or I just don't like it as much.

Or maybe I'm taking my privacy more seriously, where I'm just, I don't want to use it. I think that's a nice, like, exactly. Like, oh, my privacy. Oh, fuck, like, you know everything about me now. I'm like, oh, you've been selling my shit? That's why I'm getting these ads? And also now if you want to promote like a show

or like something, like now you have to pay or like trick the algorithm, and it's just like, oh, you've been selling my shit? That's why I'm getting these ads? And also now if you want to promote a show or something, now you have to pay or trick the algorithm. And it's just like, oh, man, this sucks. And I mean, we need to, and I think people are getting better at thinking about their attention as a finite resource. You only have so much attention to go around, and you can't let it be squandered on bullshit, especially untrue bullshit, because it's both harmful to you personally and to society in general but yeah i don't i don't know necessarily how they walk this

line because so they did uh you know kind of shrink info wars or shrink fox news's distribution and i think shrink info wars is a maybeoWars' account. And now the right is up in arms about that. And, you know, they've been receptive to pressure from the right, you know, claiming that they're censoring free speech. And so it's just like it's going to be this back and forth. There's no clear answer to how they're going to address this. Somebody just puts your fucking foot down as Facebook and be like, fuck you. I own this.

These are lies. I don't give a fuck. Do whatever you want. I'm not letting this thing turn into a tool for fucking evil or just completely deceiving people who are vulnerable to this kind of misinformation. But I guess if you have enough money, I might. Yeah, right.

Yeah, because he's probably like, all right, well, good. How's the condo looking on Mars? Right. Is that shit going to be done it's gonna get liquid water it's gonna be hot in like 15 years and i'm about to go all right we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back definitely caruana galizia was a maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th 2017 was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia.

Most of the time. And we're back. So Mila Kunis was on the Dax Shepard show, I think it's called. Armchair expert, I think. We don't need to say that. Or as I call it, pfft. Right. Talking about her past relationships

and miles can you give us a direct quote what you said about her relationship with mac so she dated macaulay culkin for like eight years yeah I had no idea and then as like they're talking about relationships like they get on the subject of her and mac daddy and this is the full quote from this thing I I fucked up. I was an asshole in my 20s, and I'll be the first to admit it. And that's something that took me a long time to come out and be like,

yeah, you know what? I was a dick and accept it. Normal so far. And I own it. And it's fucked up what I did. It's fucked up what I did. And it's fucked up how I did it. What?

Let me finish. When I got to be single, I said, I just need to figure myself out. Genuinely need to know why I did what I did. What the fuck did you do? And like regroup myself as a human being. What did you do to him? Holy shit.

I don't know. When you say, and it's fucked up what I did, it's fucked up what I did. Right. And it's fucked up how I did it. That whole like stream of constant. It's fucked up how I did. Right. And it's fucked up how I did it. That whole stream of constant- It's fucked up how I did it is so crazy because it suggests a violent act.

Yeah, or just the most grotesque deception. God, some theories were Macaulay Culkin's grandma's ashes were put into his coffee for eight years. Eight years, could have been one. So he consumed in entirety his grandma. His grandma. His entire grandma in his morning cup because Mila Kudus, she doesn't know why she did what she did.

And how she did it was fucked up. Right. Yeah. I don't, if she was like me in my 20s, she probably told McCoy, he's like, hey, let's go meet my family. And then that was a lie. And then just went to Chipotle and broke up with him Miles that's horrible

that didn't happen I was broken up with at Chipotle though oh really? she didn't get you there by saying let's go meet my family actually she did hey you should be my folks you should be my family at this Chipotle hey where are they at?

where's your food? I'm not eating but we need to talk. What? And then I cried listening to the song Bodies by Smashing Pumpkins on the double disc album, The Mountain Colony and Infinite Sadness. I thought you were saying

let the bodies hit the floor. No. The first line is Billy Corgan going, love is suicide. Subtle. I used to go to, when I was dating someone, this was a couple years ago, there was a restaurant that we would always break up at. We broke up a million times.

And it was always like this one restaurant. If he was like, we should go to Modern Eats. I'm like, I'm about to get dumped. Don't show up, Jamie. Always show up. Food's good. And then we would break up. Like four or five different times.

And you only ate there when you broke up. It was just like, all right, we better head back there. Yeah. Like, oh, Modern Eats, I mean, at least, well, it's already been ruined for us because we only break up here. So may as well enjoy the fries. Oh, man.

That's like Serpico, right? Yeah. I feel like I just mean like that one moment where he yells, I can shout anywhere. Meet me at Felix's? Anyway. All right, guys. We have to get to the important stuff, though,

because Comic-Con happened this week. Wow. So it was a down year for Comic-Con, and it might be the first of the rest of the history of Comic-Con. Welcome to the club, Comic-Con. Because Disney and Marvel were not there. There was no big Star Wars thing because they have their own con. Marvel did not drop any heat like they have in years past.

And so the big reveal was the Aquaman trailer. Was it? Sick. I guess. That seemed to be the top trending thing over the weekend the Aquaman trailer. Was it? Sick. I guess. That seemed to be a top trending thing over the weekend. Aquaman rules. Usually you would hear news out of Comic-Con will escape the immediate nerd universe, the Twitter universe.

Usually at least one thing happens that's sort of of general interest. Oh, shit. I remember last year, I think it was that Rick and Morty clip. Right. When they were reading that trial script out. I felt like that was a huge thing, and then there were some trailers. But this year, yeah, I think I was like, I guess there was a Breaking Bad reunion panel. But that's not like a forward-looking thing.

It's like, hey, remember these motherfuckers? Yeah. For 10 years. I'm like, okay. Aquaman, not a fan. Yeah. The trailer had some cool moments, but the stuff that takes place underwater just doesn't look like it takes place underwater.

Can I see it? It looks like they're just kind of walking around on a green screen stage. That's fucking bullshit. Who is it? Jason Momoa is Aquaman, right? Jason Momoa, which, I mean, I can't get enough of that guy. I mean, who can? Right.

Miles is showing me the trailer right now. Man, that water looks fucking whack. All right, this water's bullshit. Yeah. It just looks like they're in a dark field. Yeah. It just looks like they're in a field and it's cloudy out. Some particles are around them rather than the, I guess, bubbles.

This is what every Marvel movie looks like. It's like all blue. Right. Right. Yeah. Every movie looks like this. You can't tell that it's fire or water, I guess. Sorry.

Yeah. I mean, it is fire or water, I guess. Sorry. Yeah. I mean, it is expensive to make shit look really. I feel like in 2018, like, we should be able to believably make people look like they're actually underwater. Right. I mean, like, there were Portishead videos in, like, the 90s that were doing it believably. Don't make the Aquaman. Well, I mean, those guys were underwater. There was that whole crowd of people who were like, whoa.

And you're like, wait, this is underwater? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's just a lot of money. And sometimes it doesn't go to the right place. Yeah. You know? Yeah.

And I mean, this is the director. People are going to watch this movie anyway. Yeah. Yeah. There are some good looking action sequences or like brief flashes of action sequences that look like they could be cool. Yeah. If you watch it and you don't think about the fact that it's supposed to be underwater,

it's like, oh, this looks tight. Yeah. This looks like a good action movie. And it's by the guy who directed some of the best Fast and Furious movies. Nice. So I think there's a chance for it still, but. Oh, yeah. It'll do fine.

Yeah. I mean, no one's, I think. Do you guys think they're going to be okay? Yeah, exactly. I don't think someone's going to be like, damn, did you see that trailer? I mean, they took an L on the water, you know, fucking motion graphics. I'm going to have to, whatever. But you know it's bad for DC when it's their Comic-Con.

They're the ones who are like releasing shit and they still get overshadowed by Marvel News. Right. Which is that Guardians of the Galaxy 3 fired the director, James Gunn, after there was a... Where do I send my resume? What's that? Where do I send my resume? To direct the video. Exactly.

Because there were some old tweets of his that came to light, and this was all part of the ongoing culture wars. Culture wars. Do we have a soundbite for culture wars? We just kind of do that. Did you not just hear the perfect voice? It's done live. But yeah, so it was Mike Cernovich and Jack...

Posobiec, whatever you call him. Weird Jack Posobiec. Yeah, it was like a campaign by them to dig up shit on the director, James Gunn, because he is anti-Trump online, and they've been looking for their person that they could get taken out the way that they think liberals took out Roseanne. Liberals. Wow.

I mean, because on one side, this guy just made like really just shitty, awful jokes. This guy's a hack. Like, he should get fired for being a fucking hack online. Yeah. I think that should be a fireable offense for anyone. I'm a hack. Like, he should get fired for being a fucking hack online. Yeah. I think that should be a fireable offense for anyone. I'm a hack. Oh, no. No, but I think, like, when you look at the way people were reacting, like, Ted Cruz was

like, if this is true, like, he needs to be prosecuted. Right. And you're like, bro, he's talking about, like, shit that is not even of this world. This is like third grade humor or whatever. I mean, I guess third graders don't make that many jokes about pedophiles, but yeah, this is like,

this is extremely, these are just bad jokes. Yeah. Trying to use, trying to be edgy, trying to use shock humor. Very immature male humor. Yeah.

It's very like, oh, what's the edgiest thing I can think of? Pedophilia. I'm going to make that joke over and over, over a period of what? Years?

You know? Right. It's really hacky, but if you believe in Pizzagate, you're like're like damn this is all coming together right i mean but that just shows how desperate they are to come up with uh evidence in the whole pizzagate uh that the media is run by a cabal of pedophiles theory that they've been working on. Oh, I thought it was that the media is run by a cabal of pizzas. A cabal of pizzas. Of Jewish pizzas. So,

right, one of his tweets was, I'm doing a big Hollywood film adaptation of The Giving Tree with a happy ending. The tree grows back and gives the kid a blowjob. Oh! There was one where he tweeted that the water pressure at his hotel felt like a three-year-old peeing on his head.

Just like throwing in shitty. This is a bad open mic set, man. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. But the idea that Ted Cruz was like, if this stuff is true. If this water pressure truly is that bad. We need to talk to the hotel. Very confusing. Can't get a lather going like that.

But a writer. Everyone should be fired for posting badly. If you post bad, fucking lose your job, man. Stop posting. Just don't step into the arena if you don't have the heat. Yeah, it's fine. Not everybody has to post. You're James Gunn.

You direct movies. Put it in drafts. Right. Put it in drafts. This was written at a time when he was directing movies for Troma, and his career hadn't really taken off. But Troma's better than that. Right really taken off but like trauma is better than that right it's still way way better you're trying to be edgy and do shock humor trauma is better than that like come on but in retrospect it's weird that his career path ever led to disney

directing his directing such a huge movie i thought disney was supposed to uh be like a big big fucking do they not vet tweets that seems like an important part of stuff now like to be like a big fucking, do they not vet tweets? That seems like an important part of stuff now. Like if I was a big company like Disney and I hired somebody, I would be like, just delete your whole Twitter. Right. And they basically supposedly knew about these tweets

in the same way that they knew about Roseanne's background of tweeting crazy shit. And they were just like, from here on out, just shut the fuck up, please. And Roseanne did not do that. Gunn did do that. But because there was this public outrage, then they caved and fired him. And our writer, J.M. McNabb, pointed out that before we start jumping in and starting a campaign to get James Gunn rehired, We should look at other directors who were fired by Disney for worse reasons.

Like there is a director named Brenda Chapman, who wrote the Pixar movie Brave and was hired to direct it. It was a very personal story to her. Everybody who worked on it with her were like, she had an amazing vision. She was lovely to work with. But because Pixar was such a boys club, they let her go and basically just said that her vision didn't match with the company's,

which was that she was making a movie from a strongly female perspective. And they replaced her with Mark Andrews, just two male names just thrown together. Sam Michaels? Yeah, Sam Michaels and Mark Andrews to team direct. I don't know. It seems a little weird to get too worked up about the James Gunn thing. I'm sure he's learned a valuable lesson now. The other thing is too, they're still

cutting checks to Johnny Depp. There are people who comparatively on paper, one guy who's just a fucking dumb idiot making shit jokes versus, like, a serial abuser,

you know, but they still have him there. And also, like, these two, Cernovich and Posovic, their fucking, their backgrounds

are fucking awful, too. Yeah. I'm pretty sure Cernovich, like, I mean, aside from their racism and crazy, you know, shit that they post online, I feel like sure Cernovich like, I mean, aside from their racism and crazy, you know, shit that they post online, I feel like one of them like legitimately was charged

with rape a few years ago. Or like 15 years ago. Super believable. Over at the QAnon subreddit they are writing Meanwhile at the QAnon subreddit they are responding to this. Look into CPS. They are helping the elite steal children.

No one wants to talk about it. That congresswoman who was exposing CPS was murder-suicided. Your world is run by devil-worshiping pedophiles. People are finally starting to wake up. Stop supporting occultist pedos like Disney. Okay. So that's their read on the situation. But, you know, like you were saying,

this does tie into an overarching conspiracy theory that the media is run by pedophile pizzas. Yeah. Pizzas love kids. That's why they got that deal with the Turtles. Exactly. Just for the kid access. We were going to talk about Lasseter, too, yeah? Yes.

Yeah. So Lasseter is the head of Pixar who, like, created Toy Story and Frozen and I think the Cars franchise. And it came out, was very huggy at work and liked to make female employees hug him and would say inappropriate things. And Disney did an investigation. He was on leave for a while and they quietly were like, he's going to stay on as a consultant through the end of the year. He's not allowed back in the office and he's fired at the end of the year. But he was heading up Pixar at the time when Chapman was fired from Brave. So you get the sense of what Pixar's culture was like. Yeah. I mean, this is sort of animation

a lot all the time and Pixar sort of positions mean, this is sort of animation a lot, all the time, and Pixar sort of positions itself like, this is new animation, we're Pixar. We make movies that are for the whole family, including the adults. All cultures. All cultures, we're diverse, we tell a lot of stories, we have values that are different from what you would consider

old Disney movie animated values that are very fairytale what you would consider old Disney movie animated values that are very like fairy tale or whatever like you know racist depictions of people yeah like racist princesses and stuff but it's you know it's still just animation it's still the same old fucking dudes

and I mean what's amazing about the Lasseter thing is like he's a big fucking deal he's a really big that dude's rich that might be the most powerful person who's been stopped by me too exactly

up to this point and what's I mean what I'm I mean not to like speculate but there's no fucking way they fired him for hugging right

this guy makes literally billions of dollars for Pixar Frozen is like I don't I mean you have kids

Jack you know what Frozen is I am aware you know Frozen doesn't fucking end yes you know there is no ending you don't even have kids you look like you just came back you're like you know that shit it's You know Frozen doesn't fucking end. You know there is no ending. You don't even have kids.

You look like you just came back. You're like, you know that shit. It's like that dragon bridge. I went to a Frozen birthday party where they had the same three songs from Frozen on repeat at very loud volumes the whole time. It was wild. It was let it go. And then Do You Want to Go Snowman? Yes.

And then probably, what's another song from Frozen? I don't know. I shorted out and woke up and I was covered in blood. I used to, I babysit a lot, man. I work with kids a lot.

And when did Frozen come out? 10 fucking years ago? Or some shit? Like three. No, three years ago. Frozen did not come out. Frozen 2 came out a few years ago. Frozen came out 10 years ago?

One time, when did Frozen come out? No, it didn't come out 10 years ago? When did Frozen come out? No, it didn't come out 10 years ago. I bet it was 2012. No, 2013. Time flies when you're fucking Frozen, man. Damn, it was 2013? It was 2013. How the fuck did I just hear about it?

You just heard about Frozen? Yeah, just now. Wow, you must not hang out with a lot of kids, man. No, I can't stand that shit. 2014 in LA, I was hearing kids in my parking lot sing Let It Go

in a little helium chorus. Right. And they didn't know most of the words. It's so funny because the history of Frozen, well, so first of all, Brave was supposed to be

their groundbreaking movie where it was the first Pixar movie with a female protagonist and this is what happened You guys are going to shit yourselves. Hold on. We got ourselves

a white female protagonist. Stop the presses. What did we do? Frozen was seen as this big deal because it had a female relationship at the center of it. It centered a non-romantic female relationship rather than the romantic relationship

between the main character and a love interest. Initially, it was a Little Mermaid Ursula situation, and the only reason that they ended up making it friends is because Let It Go, they heard it, and they were like, oh, that's too good of a song that we need to make them friends. We need to make her a protagonist. It's based on The Ice Queen,

which is a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, and if you guys know anything about Hans Christian Andersen, it always ends with a girl dying. It ends with an evil woman getting killed in a really painful way. So, yeah, Elsa was supposed to be the Ice Queen, is the villain of the story in the fairy tale The Ice Queen. And, I mean, thank God they changed it because that's a much better movie. But they did it accidentally just because somebody wrote a great song. Because Robert Lopez wrote a really good song yeah so they but basically anytime they're adding diversity or you know strong female characters it's a mistake it's a mistake that they're like doing kicking and screaming yeah uh and yeah and

plus you have pixar being part of the whole tech world so that doesn't help also. Are there not a lot of women in tech? Jack? Jack? We're going to take a quick break to look that up. And we'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.

There are some people at gyms, right, who don't necessarily know how to act in public. They're there for the show. They want to be the show. Right. And I think we have a new high in this category of people who just come looking to make a statement. So Planet Fitness, their motto is this is a judgment-free zone. And the idea is we're not sitting here like you don't have a bunch of personal trainers being like, oh, you're not throwing plates around, bro? Like, what the fuck is that? Hey, man, your fucking delts are not really developed enough for your size.

Don't they have, like, a meathead alarm in their place, too? Like, if you're one of those guys walking around with, like, a two-gallon jug of water, they'll, like, hit the meathead alarm. No. Yeah, dude. They're serious about that shit? Yes. Wow.

Oh, so they're just like, this is just for regular. Like, if you're wearing, like, a weightlifting belt, they'll be like, hey, yeah. Hey, what are you, concerned about your back? Yeah. Your safety? Get the fuck out. They're like, hey, we're super accepting of all types of people who want to work out except you.

Yeah. So you need to go. You need to go to the fucking scream gym. Get over to Gold's. There are plenty of those gyms, though, for people who are very, very serious about shit. But this dude took that to mean, judgment-free zone, to mean that he could just show up and work out nude. Yeah. Well, it's in New Hampshire. So I kind of, in a way, I felt- All right, man. Get off New Hampshire. But this dude took that to mean judgment free zone to mean that he could just show up and work out nude.

Yeah. Well, it's in New Hampshire, you know, so I kind of, in a way I felt. Way off New Hampshire. Hey, my man, it's fucking, the motto is live free or die. Yeah, that's true. You know what I mean? So in a way, I understand that this guy, his name is Eric Stagno or Stagno, 34 years old, pulled up. Apparently this is what they say.

The story from witnesses is that the guy walked in stripped down right there in front left the clothes and belongings at the front desk walked back and forth across the gym a couple times and then settled in over at the yoga mats and then when officers arrived they said they found him nude in a quote yoga type position so i don't know if they don't know yoga and he could have been doing tree pose or something warrior shot around him yeah some dive bomber push-ups i don't know yoga and he could have been doing tree pose or something. Warrior shoe. Shadaranga. Yeah. Some dive bomber pushups. I don't know.

You know what I mean? Downward dog. Upward dog. Cobra. But they said the only comment he made was that he thought it was a judgment-free zone. So is he doing a bit? That's what I'm saying. Is he trying to prove a point? Who knows?

He kind of looks like he isn't doing a bit. He looks like a bit. Yeah, he looks like he might, I don't know. He would be one of those dudes who you're like, are you a hipster or are you homeless in Los Angeles? From a police perspective, that's kind of how you first have to come into it, right? Like we need to figure out, is this a mental health issue or just a dude fucking around? And then that's kind of like your path. And that's when you know if you just smack

them around because if it's a bit you're like the fuck is wrong with you man right you're mentally ill you're like okay so you kind of have to start there right like very like hey buddy yeah at the very least like yeah what's up dude hey man namaste my man right are you good the the fact that he was doing yoga is the least surprising detail of this story. This dude who has a long beard and accidental dreadlock looking like it's forming on top of his head definitely looks like he was there to do yoga. Also because you're not going to be working around free weights with your shit just hanging out. I was going to ask you guys for some truth. Right.

You have to be naked in a gym, and you have to perform one type of workout and or exercise. What would you do naked in a gym? And you have to choose one. Elliptical, treadmill, basketball. I would get on a squat sled. You're leaning in. You're leaning in. On my back leg. Showing off those thicky tits. Yeah, just pushing out squat sled you're going on my back you're leaning on my back showing off

those thick yeah just pushing out and they're like oh my god i don't know what i'm looking at uh-huh i think that would feel because look if you're gonna do it i might as well pull a power move and make everyone as uncomfortable as i am right yeah that i'm not an exhibitionist so i would be like you know what fuck it i'm just gonna make this, so I would be like, you know what, fuck it. I'm just going to make this a moment. I would just avoid anything that has that sticky pleather on it because then it's touching parts of your body that aren't meant to or touching things that people have sweat on and you can never really get the sweat out. So I'd probably just do jumping jacks or something else. Some calisthenics?

Just really flopping about jumping jacks what about you daniel what did you do maybe just the elliptical yeah oh just low impact and not too yeah you don't want to be too bouncy it might be interesting to see what your body looks like working out nude don't you think oh yeah yeah yeah you get a whole different perspective on on how you're engaging in this exercise i think we have a whole new video series we can start i guarantee there's probably what this shit looks like underneath your clothes right doesn't have to be nude workouts on the internet oh for sure oh yeah oh yeah of all the people of all different walks of life can you imagine there's probably's probably a nude yoga retreat in LA every weekend somewhere, right?

Oh, I'm sure. Yeah. Right now. I'm sure it's like an Airbnb experience that you can do. Nude yoga in the Hollywood Hills. I might do it. With Dreadhead.

If I felt better about myself, I would do it. Hey, this is a judgment-free zone, man. Okay, well, here we go. All right. Sound of clothes taking off. If you had to record one podcast nude, what would it be? No.
