Hello the internet and welcome to this episode of The Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our
Starting point is 00:02:11 favorite segments from this week, all edited together into one non-stop infotainment laugh laugh stravaganza. So without further ado, here is the weekly Zeitgeist. Hey, Miles, speaking of thrilled to have someone, and by the way, that was a great AK. I did not know your vocal performance was going to rock that hard. You went way harder than you needed to. What I do, especially when I'm in an emotional crisis, the voice of an angel comes out.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Yeah, poured into the AKAs. Miles, we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of our favorite guests. Brilliant comedian, writer, journalist, activist. I bet they're on the edge of their seat. They have no idea who it's going to be. Nope. You know them from places like Al Jazeera, MSNBC, America Unhinged, on Zateo, and from the podcast, The Bituation Room, it's Francesca Fuhrentini!
Starting point is 00:03:07 Oh, Francesca! Hey! I don't have an AKA, but hi. Hi. So good to be back with both of you. Can I hear your Kristi Noem impression a little bit? Can you just give me a couple lines of Noem? Well, I had to put gumballs in my cheeks because I don't have cotton balls.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Wait, that's part of your process. And it was very, it was disgusting because actually cotton balls reduced the spit, but gumballs surrounded by sugar just made me salivate. Yeah. Just started rotting away at your teeth and still. Yeah. It was, I didn't, I haven't brushed my teeth. This is a highway. You're starting out to a real queen who has gumballs on hand, but not cotton balls. Yep. Exactly. Well, I really wanted, I really wanted, uh, like marshmallows. So I was
Starting point is 00:03:57 looking around cause like sometimes Matt, my husband will keep like, he'll squirrel away a bunch of, you know, shit he couldn't eat. And so I'm like, there might be marshmallows. From those marshmallow tests, he was one of the kids where they were like, you can eat the marshmallow now or have two later. And he's just been like, squirreling them away. He went in the other direction. He's in recovery. He ate all of the fucking marshmallows. But yes, no, the Christina. You know, you got to have fun, I guess, because everything's
Starting point is 00:04:26 so awful, but she's such a fucking parody. I just saw side by side pictures of her before and after the surgery. And I realized that I hadn't realized that that was the same person. Like I was like, oh, I remember seeing her. I didn't like pay enough attention that I was like, face with name, you I was like, oh, I remember that being a famous person in politics. I had no idea that that's who the new person was. I mean, filler is an addictive, is a hell of a drug. It is, truly. What does it do? It just helps stretch your skin out? No, not at all. I think it plumps the places that are sagging.
Starting point is 00:05:07 So it prevents it from sagging. I need that. Yeah. I do just wanna out myself as also having a snack hoard. Oh. Do you have it real high where your kids can't reach? Where they can't see it, where they have no idea it exists. There is still, there is, the Halloween candy is all gone,
Starting point is 00:05:24 but there's Valentine's Day candy that's still in there. There's like a half-eaten nerd rope that I'm just like for when things get dark, you know? Just get up there for a little bite of the old nerd rope. Yeah. Sort of like Rapunzel's down into your mouth. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:40 Yeah. You have it on a crank by the walk. You get, get, get, get, get, get, get, ah. That'd be tight. Eating my kids' candy, one of the great joys in life. You got to get the nerds clusters. I mean, that's the escalation of the rope. They said, what if we just broke this rope up into little nuggets?
Starting point is 00:05:58 I stopped eating candy like that because I'm an adult and I just care about. No, no. I don't understand. I guess I'm like, I've got real money now, not allowance money, and I can buy other yummy things. Sure. Whatever happened to the tolerant left? Miles, this is a question I put to you. Jack, we got attacked to the middle. If this is what the freaks are offering on this side.
Starting point is 00:06:29 No, it's true. Oh my God. If we're like no nerd clusters versus nerd clusters, like the revolution will lose ultimately. I do think it's actually very indicative of broader sort of not woke culture, but the way we police one another. I am policing you as well right now. They are. Yeah. I do like to say we live in an age of wonders and we're not able to enjoy them. I do include in the age of wonders, nerd clusters. I think that's one of the great technological advances that we've- National monuments, parks, nerd clusters.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Nerd clusters. Yeah, then the interstate system. Yes. After that. Yeah. A high-speed rail. In other countries, yes. What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are?
Starting point is 00:07:18 So I Googled, do people like the Star Wars prequels now? Just fully the sentence? The full sentence. Siri, do people like the prequels now. Just fully the sentence? The full sentence. The full sentence. Siri, do people like? Caitlin, I'm noting from toning your voice that you seem skeptical. I was, yes.
Starting point is 00:07:38 And it turns out they do. This has been coming up. Do you? Like people, they're having a resurgence. The tide is turning. Really? It's funny, the first, the first we do, do people like the Star Wars, the autocomplete is prequels now.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Not just prequels, but prequels now. Like, now like that, like there is some shade in the Google suggestion. Like, wait, do people actually like this shit now? And they do. I mean, obviously not like that's a generalization, but like the tide has really turned on these damn movies. And so I don't know. I guess I have to revisit them.
Starting point is 00:08:23 I'm going to re have to revisit them. I'm gonna rewatch them. So, I would say then that my nine-year-old went through a very heavy Star Wars phase, and his taste is completely, like, indecipherable to me. Like, it doesn't make any sense. His favorite is The Rise of Skywalker. Like ninth. The real bad. Like the one that like even the people you're talking about are like, what? Like no one sucked. Like his favorite is the ninth. He really likes the prequels. Like so it's just, I feel like it's these movies hitting people's brains when they're
Starting point is 00:09:06 children. Right. Exactly. Yeah. I think the people, one of the reasons that the kind of perception of these movies has shifted is that, you know, people who grew up with these movies, who were kids when they came out, because I was like, 99, Phantom Menace, I was 13. And I was, so I was like, I don't know, old enough. I would be like, this fucking sucks.
Starting point is 00:09:33 I don't know if this sucks. I got to go to my shift at Lids later. Even people who were like four years or less younger than me are like, no, those were like my childhood Star Wars movies. Those people are now full adults in their 30s. Right. So they're talking, they're saying things on the internet. People like these movies now, and I don't know how to contend with that exactly.
Starting point is 00:10:03 I mean, taken as a whole, the original trilogy also, it has some cache from having been seen by a lot of people when they were children. So a lot of the shit that was similarly silly doesn't necessarily. It's just a totally different context to see the movies when every one of the nine movies was made before you were born. Like when something's made before you're born, it's just like an old movie. It's like, oh,
Starting point is 00:10:35 those are the nine old movies, like that are all equally old, essentially, you know? Right. And then like, I did grow up with the original trilogy, even though they also came out before I was born. But like my favorite one as a kid was Return of the Jedi because it had Ewoks in it. Yeah. Exactly. Look at these cute little. Yeah. Oh yeah. I just love the speeder bikes. I was like, yeah, bro, this one's for me. I just want to go reckless. Back to the future with my kids this weekend, they had not seen it. I was like, yeah, bro, this one's for me. Those. Yeah. I just, I watched. Go reckless. Back to the future with my kids this weekend, they had not seen it.
Starting point is 00:11:08 I was just realizing like how confusing it must be that because like the present day in that movie is longer ago than the fifties were at the time that they like went back in time. were at the time that they like went back in time. Mm-hmm. So for my kid, like it's like finding out for me that Greece was not about the present day. Greece was like about the 50s. Like when I was a kid, I was like, wait, what? I thought that that was just like a movie that was made at the time that it came out.
Starting point is 00:11:41 You know, it's just everything past a certain point is just like old when you're a kid. He was like, I don't know, man. Yeah. Yeah. For me, I was either when I was 15, when the pre when the prequel trilogy came out and I was like, I was kind of in the same thing. I was like, I don't know, this shit sucks. But I like Darth Maul's dual sighted lightsaber. But again, I think that also the one benefit is at least that one has, it's
Starting point is 00:12:07 like a little more coherent than the, the sequel trilogy, like seven, eight, nine. Yeah. Seven, eight, nine or a you could tell George Lucas is like, this is what the fuck I'm on, like, this is what I'm trying to do. And it does, it does benefit that from that, but I don't know, I guess for me, I think it's just more, I think it just depends on when you entered, Star Wars entered your consciousness and you just hold onto those with the most, I have the most deference for the original trilogy.
Starting point is 00:12:35 But every time I watch them, I'm always like, that's a good line from Obi-Wan to Darth Vader or to Anakin. That's what the prequels have. But I guess I'm not as mad as when I was 15. I feel like you could cut the prequel trilogy into a really good individual movie. Just one singular movie. There's really cool parts.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Even in the second one, which has that diner scene that is like, what the fuck is happening? Where it's like a cartoon character is like, how's it going? They spend the whole time with this really weird computer animation. There's also a scene in there where he jumps out of a flying car and flies down. It's fucking cool.
Starting point is 00:13:20 I remember seeing that as a young adult and being like, that's a lot of fun. Like I was too jaded by nine 11 at that point. Oh yeah. The attack of the clones came out in 2002, man. I can blame it all on nine 11. Yeah, but I might have to, I might have to Blake. What's something he thinks underrated?
Starting point is 00:13:38 Underrated? Yeah, I can answer that. Lint brushes, a simple tool speak Speak on it. And can take you from looking like completely disheveled and bad, just bad, like looking real bad to, oh, maybe that's just their style. Like it could look stylish, but if you have like hair and just whatever attacks, ticks, whatever attaches to you. I don't think, now I don't think that's advised by, I don't think that's how physicians recommend.
Starting point is 00:14:10 You use a lit brushes. In fact, I don't think physicians comment. Jack O'Falchie, Jack O'Falchie. Yeah. I medical uses for this lit brush. Take removal skin tags, skin tags. Yeah. Tick removal, skin tags. Skin tags, moles. Yeah, just rolling right off. And other animals that dig underneath the ground. I did see on Shark Tank, this could have been the other night or 75 years ago, but it was
Starting point is 00:14:34 a glove that was for taking ticks off dogs, where you like pet the dog with the glove. And I have a small stake in that. So if anyone, you know, code. Sounds terrible. Yeah. But no, I would say that, so I would say that, you know, I dog with the glove. And, and I have a small stake in that. So if anyone, you know, code sounds terrible. Yeah. Um, but no, I would say that.
Starting point is 00:14:49 So with the lint brushes, it's like, I think whenever you have, and I have a dog, I like wearing black and my dog has white fur and it shows up, but it is a big difference, just a quick, like, and they're not expensive, just a quick little, and it can bring you up like two letter grades of having your shit together, you know, if you just use a lint brush. You're talking about this, like someone would talk about like paper towels or something.
Starting point is 00:15:15 It's like, they're really good. If like you don't need a towel, then you just get one of these. And I'm like, yeah, I know. What the fuck is more? I don't understand what the critique is here. You just found out about it. You found the lint brush. You got a out about it. You found the limf, right?
Starting point is 00:15:25 You got a dog with hair and then you take it off. Well, you don't understand is that it's sticky on one side. So like the stuff sticks to it. It's roll tape, it rolls. And then you can take this, when it stops being sticky, Miles, you take it off and then there's more sticky underneath it. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Do you understand what I'm saying right now? Cause this is not that complicated. This is a great invention that was made in 2017. Oh no. Yeah. It's new. Where do you get your news? So there's a lint brush for taking ticks off dogs.
Starting point is 00:15:57 Interesting. That seems like it's impossible to work. Let me say that without a joke. It's a glove glove that has fibers allegedly that no one invested in this on Shark Tank, obviously. But I don't know, I wouldn't trust my dog's health to a glove, a tick-removing glove. It just feels a little Shark Tank-y as seen on TV,
Starting point is 00:16:28 which is not the vibe you want to necessarily be given off. Oh, so it's, I'm just reading, it's called the, I'm not, I won't even give it promo, but it's the, the science is that the fabric would mimic quote the precise qualities that ticks naturally adhere to much like Velcro. So just jumps, it gets them to jump. No, I mean, I think it's just like, it just pulls them right off. So just jumps. It gets them to jump. No, I mean, I think it's like it's pulls them right off. Hmm. They love it. Ticks like I do it because I had love ticks. I lose my pet ticks on dogs and I get my ticks back. Yeah. Yeah, that's why I do it.
Starting point is 00:16:56 That's why I love it so much. What is something you think is overrated? It's funny that you guys said fruit earlier because I'm legitimately excited about, uh, Oh wait, overrated. Yeah. I always, you can reverse it. I always like underrated. If you've got a fruit that you're excited about, just pick a different fruit that's overrated compared to it.
Starting point is 00:17:18 That's a little, little pro tip. Yeah. I'm going to say this one for myself so that I start eating better, more, you know, what's overrated popcorn, you know, it's overrated popcorn. You know, it's underrated fruit. Please eat some goddamn fruit. Yeah. I, uh, but I will say my body is starting to fucking, uh, turn to my body is starting
Starting point is 00:17:36 to crave fruit, which has never happened before. It's always just been like, eat more chips, eat more chips. Yeah. So, yeah, so I'm excited. So it sounds like your, it sounds like your body is begging for vitamins. You're like sick and malnourished. I don't know why like my body's just craving this thing I never
Starting point is 00:17:54 fuck with. It's like please drink some water. Has that happened to you guys? Dude, what's going on my body dude? He used to be fine with Pepsi. And I knew I delivered pizza deliver pizzas with a guy who only drank Mountain Dew. And he had four kidney stones a year. Oh, Jesus.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Only drank Mountain Dew. Yeah. Was like, this is a personal policy. Yeah. Dude from Brazil. I think he did end up quitting, but he wasn't. I feel like that's a move like a 22-year-old would do. This guy was 39.
Starting point is 00:18:24 You're like, you can't be doing brother. Yeah that uh Mountain Dew was my first like addiction that I had to kick that was like difficult to kick I was like had a high school class. There was like study halls. It was downtime and Me and like a few people like had a little breakfast club situation We were like sit there there and get into trouble. I had every one of those classes. Were you the Mollie Ringwald? Who were you?
Starting point is 00:18:49 I was definitely Mollie Ringwald. Sick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was the one who you could shake their head and dandruff would fall out. Oh, that was cool. Yeah. It was when I went school in Kentucky. We had just a full Pepsi machine in the cafeteria.
Starting point is 00:19:07 And I had a Mountain Dew every single day. And once I was like, maybe this is bad. Because I like leave this class like feeling bad about myself or like angry all the time. And so I stopped and I like started getting headaches immediately. I started like feeling feeling spiritually bad. I was like, oh, fuck, this is still love Mountain Dew. You got a bad batch, man. That's what I'd say.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Yeah. That's the bad batch you got, man. The mix was off that year. Yeah. Yeah. They were stepping all over that shit that year. Just 20 ounces of Mountain Dew a day. You too can start questioning your life decisions as a 16 year old.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Hey, I do 40 and get all the kidney stones you want. We're talking about this the other day, which is if they should do this for adults now, or they have La Croix, but it's like Mountain Dew flavored. They have like surge La Croix, you know? Yeah. Oh, can you imagine what this- Leave the caffeine. Like, I don't know, leave the caffeine, just take all the other chemicals out.
Starting point is 00:20:03 But imagine how bad that actual flavor is without the sugar. Like, it'll probably taste like the inside of a balloon or something. I bet it would taste like if you've ever had Mountain Dew after eating like birthday cake or like something that has too much sugar in it. And then it's just, or yeah, yeah. Or like the Mountain Dew after the syrup runs dry And it's just like a tiny remnant of the memory of Mountain Dew and soda water The memory of you the memory of do the memory of do which which fruit has got has got you sprung like this
Starting point is 00:20:39 Oh, yeah, you know, I'm really I'm doing peaches lately. I'm doing an orange I was gonna be like is it a citrus is the scurvy coming? Yeah I'm just trying to keep the shingles at bay. My teeth are way less loose You know how your teeth are always sort of loose Hey miles, I didn't know I was dealing with a nutritionist here. I don't do a beer before I can diet. Yeah, I live like a pirate, all right?
Starting point is 00:21:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Peaches are good though. This is the time for peaches though. This is the peach. This is the time. I love, I mean, being in California, the fruit out here is so good. It tastes like the sunshine. It's so great. Yeah, yeah. We got it all. Yeah. It's absurd how easy it is to just like grow stuff here.
Starting point is 00:21:27 It's literally like what I thought planting something would be when I was getting like, you like spit an apple seed out and then like an apple tree, like springs up that afternoon. Like that's kind of how it is in Southern California. If you think about it objectively, the fact that things that we can eat, grow from the ground, it sounds like a weird Japanese video game. Like that doesn't sound like reality. You do need the, you need the fertilizer.
Starting point is 00:21:56 That's, that's important. That's why I eat all my fruits whole and then shit directly into the ground where I want them to. It is why though, because like I've tried to plant stuff in, you know, Boston and Missouri and the like, it's so much easier. I almost feel like the Westward, like they must've felt like the people who like expanded West must've been like, Oh, there was like, there's like a treat at the end.
Starting point is 00:22:26 There's like a thing that was like the, the thing that we've always been hoping for obviously with a bunch of. We just had to kill a bunch of people. Yeah. A bunch of murder. I like you said, expanding West, like they were just adding addition to their property. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:43 Next, nice little ADU. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, they weren't doing nothing with it. That's right. It should be ours. That's Manifest Destiny. But that they got a little treat for the Manifest Destiny when they got out to the west coast. Came out to California. This is a magical land where everything grows by accident.
Starting point is 00:23:03 How lucky, how lucky they were how lucky how lucky they were those settlers All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and we'll talk about a complete non-story Oh hoax hoax and non-entity that we're gonna be calling the abststein hooks from now on folks. From here on out. We'll be right back. And we're back. We're back. Ah, well, you know, if this was a cliffhanger, tough news story after act, after this first ad break. I might not have made it back, but I do.
Starting point is 00:23:47 I am thrilled to celebrate the hard launch of this new couple. Yeah. A tech CEO and the head of his HR department. The two people that I most root for in this world, tech CEOs and people who head up HR departments. Exactly. It was, I mean, truly like a good point. It was a hard launch, one of the hardest launches of a new couple.
Starting point is 00:24:14 There have been a roller coaster where they just like, it like takes off all of a sudden. Yeah. The incredible one. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:20 Yeah. Fuck. I love roller coasters. That launch is great. Great launch. That's what these people's relationship happened. It was, yeah, it was the challenger launch of couples announcements, I think.
Starting point is 00:24:32 It was a fucking disaster. These people are cold-blaked. So this is the deal. Apparently this Cold Lake concert, Chris Martin does this thing where the camera goes around and he'll kind of riff, like do a little improv on the couples that are there so it's not just my favorite improv kiss obviously dude Chris Martin's fucking sick at improv I was gonna ask is it a
Starting point is 00:24:53 Coldplay concert or is it just Chris Martin's stand up because either way like he's selling out you know well yeah 100 percent so at it so he goes he'll give a little riff so each couple gets like attention it's not just like a kiss and they move on. It's like, this is part of the fucking show. So in this moment, he gets to this one couple that are doing the little, you know, I'm, you know, I'm fitting to grab you by the waist, you know, holding shorty from behind, you know what I mean? Enjoying the cold blade cold blade show.
Starting point is 00:25:20 And when the camera hits them, it's like the fucking roaches scattering. Yeah. Their face goes from just pure abandon. Big smile. Yeah. To... It's... So you'll be able to hear it, but again, I'm sure you've probably seen this clip on the
Starting point is 00:25:39 internet by now, but hey, if not, you should check it out. So there's one guy... Here's a new couple. Oh, look at these two. All right. She covers her face. This dude just- This dude to her face. He dives to the floor.
Starting point is 00:25:50 He's gone. He did duck and cover. He just went to the ground. Yeah. She did the, I'm not here. Yeah. I mean, which I like. I like this sort of toddler object permanence thing
Starting point is 00:26:03 of like, if I cover my face, I go bye bye. She was there for a little bit. Actually. Yeah. I was like, wait, where permanence thing of like if I go bye bye She was there for a little bit. Yeah Where she saw the guy duck, but she just fucking straight-up fucking vanished gone So then you hear so Chris Martin's like oh, and then he really calls it Okay, you see homegirl right here she has to be she has to know what's up. Yeah, she knows it She's one of her late She'll read her faces. Can you imagine I mean? Boy, oh boy turns to her friend and is like, oh my god, like they just showed us
Starting point is 00:26:39 What are we gonna do her friend is like cheesing but also like the color of Yeah, a baboons ass. Like the brightest red. A gorgeous baboons. I give a baboons gorgeous ass. The color of the baboons, gorgeous, bright red ass. So yeah, this, I don't know. She could be a bystander who then who just is cringing because it's so painfully obvious, like why would you?
Starting point is 00:27:09 She's all of us. She is all of us. But yeah, they cheer. She's, oh, she gets out of frame. Uh, probably pukes from embarrassment, uh, because it's so bad. There is one screen cap. This one moment where you can tell they both fucking realize he's like, huh? And her face, she looks like she is watching the Challenger launch.
Starting point is 00:27:33 Like they both do. Like that's they're like, oh, fuck. Oh, fuck. And she literally has her mouth open. Yeah. Poor guy. He's married. I love that. Like every gooo! Poor guy, he's married. I love that like every article you read about this, they're like, when we reached out for comment, we haven't heard back from any of them. So fucked up.
Starting point is 00:27:53 Like, it really is the cuntiest line that a journalist could give. Where like, when reached for comment, the company and his wife did not respond. It's like, yeah. I didn't think they were gonna get back to you on this one by deadline. Apparently this guy, he runs a company called Astronomer, which is some like AI infused fucking billion dollar valued company or some shit.
Starting point is 00:28:19 I love it. You hate to see a bad thing happen to someone like that. I know. Miles, it's a fucking unicorn. Yeah. It's a unicorn, baby. That is what it got a billion dollar valuation and everyone calls it a unicorn. Wait, astronomer. It's a private data infrastructure startup.
Starting point is 00:28:36 Big jerk off motion energy. Everyone keeps calling him an astronomer. They do? No, just that his people have come on. Y'all read the Galileo was an astronomer and infamously cheat. Astronomer dot IO CEO Andy Byron. She was just hired in November too. I wonder what happened to the last chief people officer. Interesting. They didn't like cold play. Probably. Is that his thing? He's like, Hey, you want to go to a cold play concert?
Starting point is 00:29:08 No. Yeah. They come back every year and they do the same fucking thing over and over. I know, babe, I know all the words and I'll sing them so you can't even hear him to stream down my wife's face. Wait, how does this sound? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I don't like miles. You found some great examples of like other people.
Starting point is 00:29:32 It's caught. This is a genre of video on YouTube. It's usually called caught with side piece. I believe it's serious. Like if you search caught with side piece, you'll find it. It happens all the time in games, like not even here. It happens in South America, happens in Europe. There are people who are doing, you know, immoral things, not respecting their relationships.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Not the Lord's work. This is one from like seven or eight years ago. I just love it because it's like a red sock span and you can hear, you can see his mouth. He's like, ah, shit. There's no denying it this is oh Shit, so he hits the camera. He sees himself and he Always the same thing you pull your arm back and act like I don't know this person. I was just hugging on Yeah, look at him. Oh shit again. He had just stayed there stayed
Starting point is 00:30:23 Yeah, what like without moving his arm, it would have been of no, but by pulling his arm back while saying, oh, shit, shit, oh, shit, it's a problem. Yeah. I'm sorry. It's the Streisand effect of cheating, y'all. Don't get caught out here Streisand affecting yourself when you can just play it cool and be like, I don't know, I'm just this other boring ass white couple
Starting point is 00:30:46 at this Coldplay show, nothing to see here, move on. I'm a pervert, I put my arm around everybody, okay? That doesn't mean I'm having an affair. That's a true problem. Yeah, come on. Come here, my good man. Yes, see, I would put my arm around, he's just starting to put his arm around everybody.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Hugging on you too. He just gets decked out, he's like, ah. Fuck off me, bro. Trying to enjoy cold play. The fact that they fucked up their response is also such a great microcosm of like a corporate, like a corporate team, like a CEO and an HR department being like, how do we handle this problem?
Starting point is 00:31:20 Oh, I know, in the worst way possible. Right, exactly. In the least human way. In and most artificially intelligent way possible just turn into the physical embodiment of an NDA Go full blank fit blank face mode and then Just make everyone feel so weird that you go viral He looks like Gavin Newsom a little bit. I think that's also helping. I think they all do. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:47 It's important, don't they all? They all look like Gavin Newsom and they love wearing jeans at the office because I'm a cool CEO. You know what I mean? It's like if Gavin Newsom and one of the guys from Pod Save America and Bill Simmons had a kid. Yeah, very Simmonsian. Simmonsian. Simmonsian. kid, you know? Yeah, very Simmonsian.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Simmonsian. Simmonsian. And Newsomian. Yeah. God, the screencap that you have, really, you've found the best moment. It's the best fucking, the way they are, his, their faces say it all. Like, they're like, we are fully cooked. We were hot and fucking 8K out here. Fuck. Y'all don't eight K out here. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Yeah, it's so good. His face, it is like a kid going nothing. You know, we're going to have like just a face covered in an impossible amount of her face. Her face is like she caught her like kid jerking off or something. And his face is like, my mom got me jerking off. She's like, no, not my boy. It's all terrible.
Starting point is 00:32:46 And I love to see rich white people be uncomfortable. So this is great for me. At a Coldplay concert, Miles, this is our place. This is our safe space. This is our third place. You can't fuck with sacred places like that for whites. OK, this is sacred. Give, leave them alone. They need something. But yeah. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:33:09 I can't even imagine. When that, whenever this, do you think they're going to have a statement? Like they're going to put out a press release. Do you think they're going to have a child and like release the video? They'll name it Apple. They, I feel like they are going to have to have a statement because it's a billion dollar company. Right. Like it's not if it was just a person like no no big deal but a publicly traded like billion dollar valuation company that deals
Starting point is 00:33:39 with privacy. Right. Just very funny. Yeah. My wife and I went, my wife who I married to. Okay, I was gonna say, not your side piece. To a Coldplay concert a couple years ago in Philly and he started singing the Eagles fight song and he was like, fly, Eagles fly. And it was honestly sick. It was so good. I was into it. Yeah. So hot. It was so good. I was into it.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Yeah. He was so hot. I, I tore off my shirt and then got cold and needed to buy a new shirt. But, uh, yeah, they put on a hell of a show. I always, whenever I'm cold, I make my wife give me her jacket. I know that's sweet. That's a sweet thing to do. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Uh, well, we do just have to keep checking in with Donald Trump because we're worried about him. Yeah. He doesn't seem to be doing well with this whole Epstein thing. And so, I don't know, his friends seem like they're mad at him. Oh yeah. I mean, Epstein lives right now. He is not, he's not just living rent free in Trump's mind he is a
Starting point is 00:34:45 squatter that is rear to sold the furniture put brought their own shit and change the locks and when you try to get in it's like no is my place now bro because he's dead and it was never even a factor really even a factor in in of life so like fuck you right he was a patriot. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. So what's wrong with any legal in your house? So he's been desperate for some kind of distraction from the Epstein file fallout. And like right now, Alex Jones is even like, I don't know, man. This guy's like, I guess I can't cult like to the point where he's like starting.
Starting point is 00:35:22 They really worry Alex Jones. This is him freaking out about like, what does he think he is? A fucking Catholic? Basically, he's what he says. Who talk about this? I'm going to excommunicate you. Well, you're not the pope, bro. Oh, oh.
Starting point is 00:35:36 I mean, you're not speaking from the throne ex cathedra. God damn it. If I had a dollar for every time my kids said that, man. Plus, I'm not Catholic. Listen, so I think of Catholics. every time my kids said that to me. And plus I'm not Catholic. Who said that? So, I think of Catholics, it's just, give me a break. Catholics, just give me a break. He uses this to take a shot at Catholic.
Starting point is 00:35:53 Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break. Give me a break. Wait, that's a real person's voice. He's reading a meme. There's like in this image, it's an AI image of Trump dressed as a king holding a piece of paper. It says, anyone who disagrees with anything I said is banished from my cult.
Starting point is 00:36:18 He's saying, I say is banished. I'm not saying Trump land is a cult. Wait, I'm sorry. The Democrats are the cult of adding reason and logic and common sense. He's got a picture of Trump as the body. Yep. When Trump starts behaving like that, it starts getting into cult territory.
Starting point is 00:36:42 And I bet since I talked the first hour and said, I'm not in this cult, that's what it's turning into. I bet there's already news articles about it. Yeah, it is so wild how defensive they all are. These people who are like, I speak the truth. I don't give a fuck who knows. And, uh, not to say that he's in a cult because it's actually my best friend. Yeah. Well, they're, they're trying to figure out what's best for their brands too, because they've been fanning these flames also, and they're going to be like, well, fuck, I got also, I got to maybe just stick with my viewers.
Starting point is 00:37:18 Cause those are the ones who buy my fucking fake vitamins. Right. So again, Trump is flailing. Okay. He fucking tried. He did the thing. He's like, what about the, the IQs of AOC? What about this thing that's happening? I think Rosie O'Donnell should go away. Like this guy obviously has the mental aptitude of a wooden snake. So now he's really fucking flailing. He even said he falsely claimed that he can listen on Wednesday, he falsely claimed that he convinced Coke to switch to cane sugar from
Starting point is 00:37:48 high fructose corn syrup, like just out of nowhere. He said, quote, I have been speaking to Coca-Cola about using real cane sugar and Coke in the United States. And they have agreed to do so. I'd like to thank all of those in authority at Coca-Cola. This will be a very good move by them. You'll see like the ceasefire. This really is giving the ceasefire where he's like, we did it. We did
Starting point is 00:38:07 a ceasefire. Great. And then everyone who's involved said, huh? Yeah. Because Coke came out and they're like, thanks for your enthusiasm. But then it was just a love letter to high fructose corn syrup. Like they were like, sorry, y'all, they got us. The corn lobby got us. So don't expect that. So what are you to do? I don't know. Maybe like make up something about how like your uncle knew the fucking Unabomber This is the fuck. This is what he said at an AI fucking event on on Wednesday When I first heard about AI, you know, it's not my thing Although my uncle was at MIT, one of the great professors, 51 years, whatever, who was the longest serving professor in the history of MIT, three degrees in nuclear,
Starting point is 00:38:53 chemical and math. That's a smart man. Kuczynski was one of his students. Do you know who Kuczynski was? There's very little difference between a mad man and a genius. But because it's I said, what kind of a student was he? Uncle John, Dr. John Trump. He said, what kind of a student? Then he said, seriously good. He said he'd go around correcting everybody, but it didn't work out too well for him. Didn't work out too well, but it's interesting. So, OK, or the people he now.
Starting point is 00:39:29 I mean, I think it goes without saying that the only true part of this entire story is that his uncle was a professor at MIT. That's literally everything else. Total bullshit. Okay. He didn't have three degrees. He had, okay. He didn't have 50 years. He had two degrees in electrical engineering and one in physics for the record, not in chemical.
Starting point is 00:39:49 What about math? What about math? I had one in nuclear. What about math? I did math and nuclear and atomic, all my degrees. He said he was the longest serving professor in the history of MIT. No, he's one of them, but not the longest.
Starting point is 00:40:01 That goes to another professor with the last name Griffith, I believe. Was Ted Kaczynski one of his students? No, Ted Kaczynski went to Harvard and University of Michigan, not MIT. Then when he talked about it, he goes, and then he said it didn't work out too well for him. His uncle died in 1985. Kaczynski was arrested in 1985. Kazinsky was arrested in 96. So there's no, there's no, he doesn't know anything about Ted Kazinsky. Now what a wild story to tell out loud. You know who else
Starting point is 00:40:33 used to tell a fake story about them, like them being themselves being friends with the Unabomber? You know who else would lie about that? Me. Jeffrey Epstein. Oh, Jeffrey Epstein also. The King. Jeffrey Epstein would tell people that he fucking knew. He studied with the Unabomber at UCLA.
Starting point is 00:40:52 This is like a thing that's in this interview with another guy. When Mother Jones got a hold of some of the numbers and some of the documents, they just started calling people. One guy answered who knew him and started talking about Epstein. He's like, he thought he was a scientist. He wasn't. He used to fucking tell people he studied, quote, studied math at UCLA with a Unabomber who was a math teacher. And they're like, wow. He's like, but that's not true.
Starting point is 00:41:14 And it's so this guy is he's like recycling Jeffrey Epstein's like lies in some weird way. Like, I don't know, like, it feels just very odd when you're like, this is why is why the fuck you talking about the Unabomber? Like, what's the point of that? And that makes you look cooler. For some reason. He's like, here's the thing I like to tell scientists people, my uncle Unabomber knew teach. Okay, And that has to do with AI how? Like to your point, none of that, his uncle wasn't an AI professor. Like there was no, to him it's all the same thing. Science is AI. It's chemical. Bombs are AI.
Starting point is 00:41:52 It's all AI. Yeah. I knew a very smart, prominent science one time and he was- A science? Yes. Yes. He was a scientist.
Starting point is 00:42:03 You ever heard of the Unabomber? Yeah. Anyways. Barben a scientist. You ever heard of the Unabomber? Yeah. Anyways. Barbenheimer. Never play Uno. Never play Uno with the Uno bomber. Barbenheimer.
Starting point is 00:42:13 What? My uncle was Barbenheimer's professor. What? What do you mean? Barbie and Arpenheimer, they were together, their child, Barbenheimer, great physicist, he had a degree in math and chemical. So the stress, man, God, what could the stress be doing to him?
Starting point is 00:42:34 That Mother Jones interview with the guy who they just cold called, and we're like, you're on the Epstein files, what's good? He was like, that guy was like, yeah, he was my best friend. Yeah. was like, yeah, he was my best friend. Yeah. Very sick guy, but he was my best friend. This is like this like 90 year old scientist, 89 year old art collector and controversial scientist who said, uh, Jeffrey Epstein was his best pal for
Starting point is 00:42:58 decades, really was just like, he was like a complete idiot. He had the mind of a child. That's what he says about him. He's like, he, yeah, he, I don't know, like didn't know. The thing that was unique about him is he would ask these questions that would make you realize he doesn't know shit. Nevertheless, in his peculiarly inquiring mind, let's say like a child who is fresh to the world because he has no compunction about approaching people. But yeah, he was like, I don't believe that he ever taught math, which again, yeah, he said, I don't even believe that he taught math. It was somebody who was supposed to be like a mat started as a math teacher and then was
Starting point is 00:43:40 so good at teaching math that this like billionaire saw him like teaching his son and was like, I'm going to make you like the head of my quant division on Wall Street. And like, no, the whole thing is that he just started blackmailing people like from, from that point forward and just kept building up. Like, that's the only thing that makes sense in his career. Didn't know shit. This guy doesn't even believe that he could teach math to children, let alone like that. He was some sort of math whiz that like was able to fucking build up this like massive billion dollar fortune. I just read a new a new possible distraction.
Starting point is 00:44:22 They're bringing back jewel pods. I mean, Trump's tried everything. Coke're bringing back Juul pods. No. I think Trump's tried everything. Coke's going back to cane sugar. What else? Juul pods. Do you want Juul pods? Do we like new Coke or was that the bad one?
Starting point is 00:44:34 I only drink Diet. Six Loco, we're launching that original recipe. We added two Locos to it. January 6th Loco. We're just gonna call it crazy. We're gonna call it Four Crazy because I don't like Spanish or anything. Not a wife. For crazy.
Starting point is 00:44:50 For crazy. God. Well, this is the best. This is where you find the best Trump impressions in America. For crazy. For Donald Trump. For crazy. How many locos?
Starting point is 00:45:03 There's too many locos. Oh no, it got offensive. Huh? That was Irish. How about here? How about here? How about here? How about here? How about here? What's offensive? I never heard of that country pal. Hey, all right. Twinkle toes. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. A foot washed up a shoe with some bones in it. They had no idea who it was. Most everything was burned up pretty good from the fire that not a whole lot was salvageable. These are the coldest of cold cases, but everything is about to change.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Every case that is a cold case that has DNA right now in a backlog will be identified in our lifetime. A small lab in Texas is cracking the code on DNA. Using new scientific tools, they're finding clues and evidence so tiny you might just miss it. He never thought he was going to get caught and I just looked at my computer screen I was just like, gotcha. On America's Crime Lab, we'll learn about victims and survivors, and you'll meet the team behind the scenes at Authram, the Houston lab that takes on the most hopeless cases

I'm Dr. Joy Harden-Bradford, and in session 421 of Therapy for Black Girls, I sit down with Dr. Afiya Mbili-Shaka to explore how our hair connects to our identity, mental health, and the ways we heal. Afiya Mbili-Shaka Because I think hair is a complex language system,
Starting point is 00:46:40 right? In terms of it can tell how old you are, your marital status, where you're from, your spiritual belief. But I think with social media, there's like a hyper fixation and observation of our hair, right, that this is sometimes the first thing someone sees when we make a post or a reel is how our hair is styled. You talk about the important role hair stylists play in our communities, the pressure to always look put together, and how breaking up with perfection can actually free us. Plus, if you're someone who gets anxious about flying, don't miss session 418 with Dr. Angela Neal-Barnett,

Starting point is 00:47:39 Hi, I'm Dani Shapiro, and these are just a few of the profound and powerful stories I'll be mining on our twelfth season of Family Secrets. With over 37 million downloads, we continue to be moved and inspired by our guests and their courageously told stories. I can't wait to share ten powerful new episodes with you, stories of tangled up identities, concealed truths, and the way in which family secrets
Starting point is 00:48:09 almost always need to be told. I hope you'll join me and my extraordinary guests for this new season of Family Secrets. Listen to Family Secrets Season 12 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Check out Behind the Flow, a podcast documentary series following the launch of San Diego Football Club. We go behind the scenes and explore the stories of those involved.
Starting point is 00:48:38 San Diego coming to MLS is going to be a game changer because this region has been hungry for a men's professional soccer team. We need veteran players and we need young players. Like, you're building a team from scratch and so the succession plan of long-term success needs to be defined. We need to embrace this community. When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier
Starting point is 00:49:00 and we watched Paraguay against Chile, pouring rain, just watching the fans jumping up and down. I think that was definitely a watershed moment for me. Not only was that gonna be my game, but it was gonna be my life. Listen to San Diego FC Behind the Flow, now on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:49:30 And we're back. We're back. And we're back folks. And we're back. And we're back. JD Vance. Yeah. Brave.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Hero. You know. Dad of the year. Presumably flew in to an airport in the hellhole that is Los Angeles. Yep, yep. Absolute fucking post-apocalyptic landscape if you watch Fox News. Yep. With his family and because he had to go to Disneyland.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Why do you go to Disneyland instead of Disney World? I know, isn't- yeah, I'm like, bro, of all the, why are you coming, why are you coming out to Cali, bro, to the land? Is there a Star Wars, there's Star Wars, they have that there. What? They've got more shit at world than they do at land.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Way more. There is something else happening here. I don't know why it had to come all the way here. I wonder if because he thought he would be around more MAGA people in Florida who would give them shit about the Epstein things. He's like, I'll handle liberal boos in Disneyland versus hearing from MAGA people who are upset.
Starting point is 00:50:33 I don't know. Either way. Either way. Either way. Is that George Clooney's tequila brand? Wow. Anyways, that's been my time, folks. And Francesca, any of these that you want to use for your stand-off. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm writing them down. Up for grabs. Yeah. You look like you're busily writing them down.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Anyways, he went to- I think she's trying to pull the ethernet cable out of her computer. No, I'm just going to write it down. Oh, my connection. Writing it around her neck. Ooh. So he went to Disneyland with his family, and they didn't close it down.
Starting point is 00:51:08 So I feel like there was a conversation that happened where he was like, no, we're going to be like, no, just normal family at Disneyland. We don't have to like, we want our kids to feel normal, to grow up in a normal world. So we're not going to close it down. And so they end up walking around Disneyland. That's open-ish.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Like every part of the park that they go to gets shut down, creating massive lines for anybody who's like trying to, who didn't know that this shit was going to be happening. And then everyone goes, wait, what's going on? Why are we getting kicked out to like JD Vance is here? And I'm sure every person said, oh, great. I love that because I'm already paying $7,000 to be at a Disney park right now. That now I'm waiting even longer because JD Vance wants to do a jungle cruise.
Starting point is 00:51:56 The people had the fast pass one or whatever, like, right. Right. They're, they're time slot to go and do the Indiana Jones ride. And we're like, fuck. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. JD Vance has decided to enter. their time slot to go and do the Indiana Jones ride. And we're like, fuck. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. JD Vance has decided to enter. We also got to see what it looks like when he runs.
Starting point is 00:52:10 And it, like people say, this person runs like they have a shit in their pants. This person runs like, I feel like this could be submitted as forensic evidence that he shit his pants. What was he trying to get? What was he, what is he doing? He looks like he shit his pants. What was he trying to get? What is he doing? He looks like he's saving someone. He looks like he just shit his pants and is running to-
Starting point is 00:52:31 He looks like it's feeding time. Maybe it's just because of the background, like at the gorilla portion. Enclosure. The gorilla enclosure. He's really moving that upper body though. He's like, really rocking or some shit. Good for him.
Starting point is 00:52:45 But the legs are really heavy, heavy, heavy legs. I don't know if it was just leg day or if he literally just shit his pants and was trying not to keep it from like leaking out the cuffs of his pants. But this is just he. Yeah. I just, I feel like this whole thing is him forcing, like almost like a Truman show reality where he's like, see kids, this is normal. This is what Disneyland is like, it's still open.
Starting point is 00:53:11 And meanwhile, it's just like ruining all these people who are just like now unwitting props. Like they had no idea they were gonna have to play the normal people in this fantasy of JD Vance and that he's like trying to do for his kids. Yeah, not even I just, I saw like a clip of just people being like just booing while he was walking through too. Not like deafening, but audible. Like if you're a child, you're like, Oh, what, what, what's my situation exactly? Cause they're, you know, they're, they're not like super old,
Starting point is 00:53:43 right? I I'm not, I'm sure they're not like going on Reddit or some shit yet, or maybe who knows, maybe they are, but like just that experience for your own kids. Like you don't want to just even as a parent, you're like, whatever, I'm going to insist that we look normal. Even if that means you're subjected to like a very chaotic environment where people are saying we suck as people. Whatever. I don't, I don't think that people who govern us are entitled to peace.
Starting point is 00:54:07 Right. And I sure as shit don't think they're entitled to a family fucking vacation in Disneyland in a state that is being, um, terrorized by Donald Trump. And he openly admitted that I've invaded California. I'm attacking California. So I know people, you know, they're with their family, they got their family. I'm not even saying don't boo them.
Starting point is 00:54:30 I'm just saying, bro, you should know better, bro, cause it's smoke free. Oh yeah, no, I'm saying just like, I can hear the discourse around it's wrong to do this. And these are still people and da da da. You know, we saw Ted Cruz on vacation in Greece while, you know, Texas was flooding the other week, But he went on vacation. These are people who go on vacation just after they've cut Medicaid away from however many millions of people. And you're
Starting point is 00:54:55 like, Oh, so you could go on your break. So you'd go on your Shemmer break. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They have no shame. Like it to me, I would feel so much shame going to fucking Disneyland. I would go camping if I were feel so much shame going to fucking Disneyland. I would go camping if I were that much of a ghoul or like somewhere remote, but going to Disneyland is just like, oh, yeah, it's open. Like, wow, it's open. Well, what is he supposed to do? What if they pay to shut it down?
Starting point is 00:55:18 Yeah, that's our money. Do they do that all the time? You know, I'm just like, I feel like he's trying to prove something. That's the, that's the one. Sure. You know, yeah, he's just trying to fucking just pedal to the metal, just get through it. And I think maybe he's probably trying to insist on some level that he's it's okay. Like that he can.
Starting point is 00:55:34 Right. The rot will not reach him when it well and truly has. And yeah, of course, I mean, we all grew up, we all remember those first memories of us going to Disneyland with our parents and being surrounded by dudes and under armor polos who have machine guns and backpacks. Yeah. They like have them in totes. I feel like they were like, okay, this is what, like this one guy looks like he's carrying a tote and that's clearly full of- Can't have the Draco just fully out like that. So I'm going to, I'm going to wrap a canvas
Starting point is 00:56:04 bag over this fucking Uzi or that. So I'm going to wrap a canvas bag over this book. Oozy or whatever the fuck I'm holding. What for security? Is that what you're saying? Yeah, there's like secret service officers around them, just blending in like dressed like somebody who would be at Disneyland. But then you can see the earpiece and they also have.
Starting point is 00:56:23 What's in? What's the ball like? I like snacks for the kids. Obviously. We're at Disneyland. We got Capri Suns in here. We got some goldfish crackers AR 15 and some nerd rope clusters. I mean, I feel like there might have just been a Keep calm and carry on like memo that went out to Trump and Vance because Trump was at a FIFA World Cup match. He was getting on stage for the trophy acceptance and just not refusing to leave.
Starting point is 00:56:57 So what is the club World Cup? Because I saw the headline, I'm like, World Cup? Excuse me? Yeah. They do it as the, well, now it happens every year, but this it's in the US specifically, because I got sort of warm up to next year's what will be a disastrous World Cup in the United States. And so basically, it's like the top club teams from the different, different sort of
Starting point is 00:57:18 what's the word I'm looking for conferences? Yeah, so like you'll have teams from like Brazil playing Chelsea Football Club from London or playing Chelsea football club from London or playing Paris Saint Germain who's owned by the Qatari investment group or whatever. So all of them are playing. So it's like meant to be like the top teams are all facing off. And anyway, the finale was in New Jersey. And of course, Mr. Donald was there.
Starting point is 00:57:41 And he's again, they're doing the national anthem, like the camera cuts to him and people are just booing because of course here's your little sound bite of that. I mean, I don't, again, I don't know what you expected. We're talking about football, the fucking world's game that regularly is about getting people from all over together to like celebrate like the one thing or even these club teams themselves are a tapestry of all different nationalities playing together. I do know that football fans will sing songs sometimes instead of like doing the standard cheers that casual
Starting point is 00:58:23 American sports fans do. So I think this was actually them singing the opening chords of, You, you got what I need. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And he's a great president. And he's a great president.
Starting point is 00:58:38 Yeah. Maybe. It wasn't, I think I wanted, I needed more of the whistling because in Latin America, if you hate somebody, it's not boo, it's more of like the whistling. Cause like in Latin America, if you hate somebody, it's not boo, it's whistle, whistle real loud. Yeah, definitely a US audience there. That was just, you know, showcasing their displeasure.
Starting point is 00:58:52 That was probably what they were chanting. U-S-A. Yeah, that's what they were saying. Exactly, exactly. But it's so resounding. Like it is interesting to like actually watch the videos or hear the videos because you're, you know, the headlines always going to be, oh, booed, whatever.
Starting point is 00:59:07 But that was insane amounts of booing. And you're right, Miles. It's like, there's nothing more un-American in MAGA's mind than World Cup Soccer, world gross. You know, like there's a world, are you kidding me? Which is so ironic, because again, we are hosting it next year and it will be a disaster. And a sport that we famously are not good at yet.
Starting point is 00:59:28 Yes. You know what I mean? So of course there's, I don't know, that's fucked up. I'm excited for the refereeing to be rigged to the point where the US ties. Right. Versus loses mostly. Yeah, you never know. I mean, again, that's the other thing though too,
Starting point is 00:59:46 is the US is only getting better because of our embracing of the children of immigrants who come to this country with the real fucking excitement for the game of soccer. That's the thing that is making this team better. It's not because like- We have a bunch of dual nationals, right? Is a bunch of like still German and- B bunch of kids born on military bases in Europe? Like, yeah, that's why the fucking team is okay. It's not because fucking you know, Colin from fucking Encino is
Starting point is 01:00:17 Alexi Lollis Alexi Lolli's a fucking loser Anyway, this is the moment though afterwards. So Chelsea beat PSG in the final and Trump is bringing the trophy on stage. Again, this is a huge moment. When the, like the norms of lifting a trophy after a soccer tournament is the people who are, you know, putting the tournament on, give you the trophy and you get the fuck off the stage. So the photo will be the captain lifting the trophy
Starting point is 01:00:43 above their head. And everyone's screaming. You never see a fucking person. You don't even see the fucking coach in those images. It's the squad. And here's Trump giving the fucking trophy out. But again, you see Rhys James, who's the captain of Chelsea, and then another player, Cole Palmer, and even like Mark Cucarrea who's a Spanish player
Starting point is 01:01:05 They're like what the fuck is this guy doing? So he's like get off the stage. Look at Mark Cucarrea. He's like, yeah This dude is grimacing doing and is it infantino? Is that the FIFA head? He was like, yeah trying to usher him off Yes, and he's like like the reporting is like, oh Trump didn't notice. No, no, no He absolutely knows and then watch this. So this this white dude right here, he's Cole Palmer. He's like, the fuck is this guy doing the guy with the trophy? You'll see him say, Are you leaving? Are you gonna leave?
Starting point is 01:01:37 Are you gonna leave? No. And like, look at Cole Palmer. He's like, What the fuck is this? He's like, he said, What, bro, what's it? What's man's doing up here? Anyway, he had their moment. He looks at Trump and says, are you leaving? And Trump looks the direction that he's looking to see who he's talking to. Yeah, he's like, the fuck you talking to, bro? That's me all day.
Starting point is 01:01:57 It's just amazing that this is the club World Cup, but that any champion in the United States is reward will be fucking Donald Trump with his goofy ass red tie and his ill fitting suit and his dumb ass hair out there in your shot. Yeah. While you're trying to celebrate like that's terrible. I know it's like for people who don't quite understand like why this is especially like every soccer fan, football fan around the world
Starting point is 01:02:26 Get the fuck off the stage it's like if you're at a wedding and the Efficient is like okay, like they're announcing the couple and they say you may kiss the bride or whatever and then stand then getting While they kiss like turn around and watch them kiss like they got Jack Nicholson front row at the lake show type Seats to that and I was like go get the fuck out the way. What are you fucking doing, bro? This ain't about you right now. Also fun fact the trophy that Reese James lifted That was a fucking replica because Trump wanted to keep the original one What? Yes. He's like I like that. I want to keep it and they're like, uh, well, this is a thing
Starting point is 01:03:03 They're like so they had to cook up a replica, uh, for them to lift that for the fucking after the final on Sunday. So yeah, all around. So we're going to see like the club trophy in his, it's in the white house. I think it's in the oval. And I think so. I think the world cup is in the oval too. And the Stanley cup, presumably he'll have in there too.
Starting point is 01:03:24 Yeah. You could probably fool him. And a bunch of Stanley quenchers. I will say, but I feel like you could, he loves to bring people around and be like, see that, that's Mike Tyson's boxing glove. He used it in a match. That's not Mike Tyson's boxing gloves. There are thousands upon thousands of, like, Mike Tyson used that in an actual
Starting point is 01:03:44 match gloves out there that like no, no it's not. And he seems like he'd be about the easiest person to fool in the world. Yeah. I mean, this is just so funny because when he saw it, he was like, ooh, look at this big old golden orb. And then he was like, I think I'd like to keep it. He's like, he's just a child. It's like when you go shopping for a birthday present and like you have to get something, the kid has to get a toy as well. You know, when you were little and you're like, no,
Starting point is 01:04:12 but I want, you know. I want that toy. I want a toy too. No, it's a gift. It's not for you. It's not your day. Mr. Francis has taken his bath. That's like in Pee-wee Herman when he's like,
Starting point is 01:04:21 I want your bike, Pee-wee. Yes, he's got big. Where are they hosing him downe Herman when he's like, I want your bike, Pee Wee. Yes. He's got big. Where are they hosing him down? Yeah, he's Francis, dude. Where are they hosing him down is one of my favorite lines ever. Amazing. All right. That's going to do it for this week's Weekly Zeitgeist.
