Hello, the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the weekly zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from this week, all edited together into one non-stop infotainment, laugh stravaganza.

Yeah. So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? I did search for grind set because I wanted to know what it meant at last, at long last. Right. You've been out of the country too long, Katie. Yeah. It means a grinding mindset.

So like. Thank you. So it's because the grind rhymes with mind. And so you can turn it into a. grind set because like when I was I had like I kind of understood the concept of it's like you know hustling or whatever but I was like grind set thinking of like a gym set or something or like you have a set like a tea set to grind yeah yeah right like it's like a salt and pepper shaker and they're both got the grinders on them exactly like like yeah I have a I have a nice pair of of grind sets

because I have a yeah salt shaker pepper and they're and pestle. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's, well, they both grind because it's the, it's the whole peppers and the, the, the, the sea salt. So I've got, they both grind the seasonings out. So I have a grind set. But no, I did, I did learn it's a, it's a mind, it's a portmanteau of grinding and mind set. So, yeah. So that's, that's informative. And it does help me understand sort of. It helps me understand the philosophy behind it, right? Because it's also, like, it's also, like, like you don't have time for saying two words like a grinding mindset just no not when you're on your grinds set because you're on your fucking grizzy okay I'm so excited to see what this knowledge does for you because I've been saying Katie yeah we've been saying this we're saying this before the show on her grind set a little bit if she just like kind of understood the grinds up like if she was just waking up at four in the morning to work out with Mark Wahlberg and the Lord like right I feel like we'd be

seeing like a fucking hockey sticks. Exactly. What I said was Katie, okay, obviously a baller, plus Italy, the home of the fucking Lambo. I'm like, okay, so we're going to see her hop out of the fucking event door in no time. But then we say, why no Lambo? Lightbulb moment and we tried and we impressed this upon you as Tony. Right. What's that guy's name? Tony Robbins.

Tony Robbins says, I don't mean to impress you, but impress upon you that you need to get on your fucking grisly Adams so you can finally hop in Lambo and wait and we can drive around when did you when did you go all right I'll bite

what's this grind set today I just love this like you're like I'm gonna I don't know what anyone's talking about anymore grinds set it's just like you know I should this is the day this is the day I should learn what this is

yeah I know you know and watch out world. Yeah. I'm coming. Yep. What is Caitlin, something you think is underrated? I think magic shows, or just magic in general, and this might be because I just watched,

rewatched the prestige after many years of having not seen it for a while. But I was like, yeah, magic is cool. And a lot of people think that it isn't, but I'm here to say that, it is. Hell yeah. Mm-hmm.

I think it's beautiful. Wait, people, people don't. I don't like it. People think that magic is for dorks and that magicians are dorks and that it's all dork shit. But wait, I get, I get furious anytime I've been tricked. Yeah, that's true. I'm like, you think I'm a fool? Yeah, he's banned from the magic castle.

Because he was at a close-up magic show and he fucking duffed out the person. I keep grabbing their arms and like looking up their shit. sleeves. What's your angle, asshole? They're like, what? I just said pick a car. Went to the Magic Castle once. I'll never trust anyone again.

I wonder. Do you think it's like if you have a inability to accept you don't know about something, you don't like magic? I think it's so funny. The idea of people just like can't get over themselves enough to enjoy magic. I love magic so much. I love seeing it. I love, yeah.

There's nothing more fun than being like, what the? I know. That's the whole point of it because you don't get to have moments like that really ever. So yeah, let your guard down and let a fucking magician wow you. I know. But also like aside from the magic castle in L.A. and maybe like a couple other venues here and they're like magic shows just aren't as they need to be on every corner. There needs to be a magic video.

Yeah, we need to have magicians like the 50s had do-up groups, just doing magic on every corner around a burning trash can fire. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. More magic. I agree. It's like not a mainstream enough. Like it is a mainstream pleasure. Like everybody gets so much pleasure out of it. It's so fun.

When was the last time you were like, hey, what did you do last night? And someone said, oh, I went to a magic show. That never happened. Never. It's like a children's birthday party thing that's like outmoded. Oh, my friend recently for his wife's birthday hired up a close-up magician to do like a little show.

This guy was, fuck, he was doing shit where, like, the card you signed was inside a fucking orange across the room and shit. Like that. I love that shit. We were all fucking screaming. I think almost annoying the magician because we were so fucking injured. He's like, all right. He's like, guys, because we were grabbing him. We were grabbing him when he would do it like, Michael, no, Michael.

He was shaking him by the lapels. Like rabbits are falling out of his coat and shit. He was not used to this many turnt up people just be like, yo, you fucking did it, bro. Have I told the story on here when I was like at a like a really nice kid's birthday party and they had a magician slash mentalist and I got pulled up to the front and he was doing this thing where I closed my eyes and he was like, okay, he's under my spell now. And then he told me that like when I feel a tap on one side of my body, I raise my hand and if I feel a tap on the other shoulder, I raise that hand. And then so I've got my eyes closed. he taps me on the shoulder. I raised my hand and like there's a gasp in the crowd. And then he taps my other shoulder and I raise my hand. Everyone's like, what the fuck? And then he's like doing it like my

arms are like going up and down like because I'm just feeling the tap. And I open my eyes and like he's like, all right, give it up for Jack. I'm like, what the fuck just happened? I go back there. Like he wasn't anywhere close to you when when you were like raising your hands. He was like standing a foot behind you just like raising your hand like with and they were like what did he tell you like were you in like nobody could believe that i wasn't like in on it this is that same party where your wife left you after you look like an idiot you looked like a fucking full how the fuck did you do that out in front of everybody jerked it off uh shout out i think you should leave um you look like a crazy you felt you fell up that shit

So I think it's a thing where he is actually behind me, like, tapping me with his offhand, but, like, people are only looking at his hand that's doing the business of like, yeah, yeah. So he's just really good at misdirection. But I think he was nowhere near you. That's what everybody said that he was like a foot behind me or something. But he must have, like, my wife took a, my wife's got a video. We need to see that Zeprooter film now. I know.

My wife took a video and I was like, oh, I think I can see how he was like, he would tap me. and because it's because like he he spotted me as like a slow-witted person so so he's like this person will take a little while to like raise their arm after I tap them because you're licking that big lollipop yeah yeah so I think he like taps me stands back and then raises his hand with my hand you know and because there's like a little bit of a delay in between me feeling him tap and then me raising my hand he like it looks like he's just standing back and like Jack, maybe it's magic. I don't know.

You know, this is the problem. I think it's also because we have, like, I was just saying this that like, because we have cell phones, like, we don't do shit, like, we don't fuck with stuff within our hands anymore, like, as an activity, like, of, like, yo-yoing or like a deck of cards.

Like, I used to think of, there there were kids who would just have decks of cards. They would just manipulate the deck one-handed, like, as, like, their fidget spinner at school or, like, just these other things. And I feel like, we're losing in that gateway. Yeah, I used to spin a pen on my finger.

I can't really do it anymore, but yeah, I bet you were good at that, Miles. Little pens, but yeah, there you go. Swish. Lox just did it and it flew out of his hand. I was talking, I was talking to a friend of mine who works in a, like, dental department at a university, and she was saying that they're having to add a different element of training to young like dental students because they're so bad with their hands and fingers. They don't have any dexterity. They don't have any dexterity. So they're just like mashing people's

teeth with their like big dumb hands. Jesus. Bring the magic back to schools. We need to bring the magic back. We really do. One time in college I went to a bar and there were there was a mentalist and a magician and they were just like doing like little tricks at the bar. And again, a lot of people would been like who are these freaking nerds i should shove them into a locker but i went up to them i was talking to them and then i sort of to neither of them in particular i was just like do you want to go on a date and then they both showed up to the date because i no specify and i didn't even know who i wanted to go on and i and i but i was like i think i do want to go on a date with both of you at the same time i think that's amazing did you make them do like a magic battle they they weren't

battling each other they were collaborating right so do they show up to dates together on per like are they a team when it comes to dating i'm not really sure i i was it awkward when they both showed up or were they like finishing each other sentences yeah you each other sand both of us it was right and i i mean also i didn't specify i was just sort of like hey you two maybe do you would have gone and and then they yeah And so it was actually kind of the sickest thing I've ever done. That is really cool. I'm kind of in awe of you. Did the date go well?

Fine. I realized by the end that I wasn't really romantically interested in either of them, but I was magically. Yeah. Interested in both of them. Of course. As you should be. What is, uh, what's something you think is overrated? Okay.

I didn't hear, I didn't see it in the stories we're going to cover. So I have to say Campbell soon. I mean, that's a big piece of news. Did you guys already cover it yesterday? Yeah. That one, or we covered it on a shit every day. I know. Nine episodes.

Yeah. We covered one of our nine episodes yesterday. We did record three. I've always felt it to be overrated. And I am one of the fat pores he mentioned. Yeah. I grew up eating it. And it's like, no, it wasn't.

There's not even a comfort to it in the way. way that like a pack of blue ramen is still comforting and I still eat. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. It's like always been disgusting. Like why? And also why am I cooking? Like the whole point, why do I have to add water to this? Like we already decided if I'm going to buy a can of soup, it's because I don't want to cook soup. Don't make me put an ingredient in it. One place he was completely on the money was when he described the chicken as seeming as though it were 3D printed. I was like, sir, you ate on that one. Yeah, he needs to be a guest.

He's very funny. I mean, he's going to, if it's like not too late to add anyone to Trump's cabinet, like, truly. He would be a shoe in. Yeah. He's a Department of Defense and Healthcare. He's like, it's like nine positions. And he's just ripping at the press conference.

He's the FDA now. He's the head. He does. I mean, he seems like it would be a perfect fit in that I feel like a lot. of the people like Rudy Giuliani became a perfect fit for his cabinet when he just was like, what if I stayed drunk all day? And like this rant definitely feels like somebody who was just hammered. Like nobody has that much stamina to be like, and another thing for an hour long Zoom call where everyone else is like video off and he's still going. It's like the backstage

at the comedy store when like people have been doing cocaine for too long or whatever. You want to go but I won't stop roasting. It could have been cocaine, actually, because he is, he was in the C-suite of Campbell's. Campbell's was like, he was like some tech guy. And it's like, no, he was a chief technology security, whatever. Like, he's in the C-suite. He's like one of your main dudes. And a lot like Rudy Giuliani, he seems red wine drunk, which is a special kind of crazy.

Yeah. It's like that Johnny Depp drunk. You know what I mean? Like a jug of not even good red wine. Like, it's just a different kind of alcoholic. Like, they, they're very emotional. Yeah, dewy-eyed and slow, kind of. That's right.

Yeah, and like rosy, but, you know, just, yeah, dark teeth. Oh, man, the teeth. They need another hug. Stained teeth, needing a hug. Eyes begging for a hug. Yeah, they're listening to. a lot of opera. Yeah.

They're pretentious. They're pretentious alcoholics. Yeah. We did take a look into not just that rant, but also just their history. And there's a lot of shit that, yeah, they were like dumping toxic waste into Lake Erie for a number of years. That sounds right. That's why if you swim in it, it tastes like, it tastes like chicken noodle. That's right.

They were like, fine. did it 900 times over the course of like three years. So they were doing it three times a day dumping toxic waste into Lake Erie. And it like contributed to a algae bloom that made the entire city of, I think it was Toledo, have to turn off their water for four days. How are they going to make the suit? Exactly. You got to add water. Thank you. Can I say something about those chicken noodle noodles, too, because there's nothing like it. They don't exist anywhere else. Because they could just use a short, small

noodle, like a shell or a macaroni or whatever. But instead they're chopping spaghetti or whatever. Chopped spaghetti. It's like little pieces of noodle chunks, but not in a good way. The least al dente pasta has ever been. Yeah. It tastes

like it has the flu. It's like gelatinous. It is so fucked up. The the substance of that is like the fact that that was the first pasta that I probably ever ate is horrible.

Yeah, that is SpaghettiOs for sure. But some SpaghettiOs are delicious. If that guy goes off, I don't know what I'm going to do. Whoever's in charge of, if Mr. Boyardee loses it on a jug of wine. That's right. Dr. Boyardy, I think.

I think he got his PhD in SpaghettiOs. He went to school with pepper. Old friends. um yeah it's a very good point about the ramen too like that that has totally supplanted any at home soup option like if you're gonna you have to add water to that one too but like if we're adding water might as well make it fucking awesome i mean i am cooking that one i'm adding broccoli i'm all kinds of shit green onions oh so much better than campbells it's the day in the first 15 years of my comedy career like i owe it all ramen baby yeah yeah

Yeah. Yeah. What's your color? Dude, well, I do the, I don't think we should call it Oriental, but that's what I do. That's what I do. That's what it was. Yeah, the blue one. I'm chicken just because that's what we had in my dorm when I was like in high school. And yeah, it was, I've never given up on the chicken at a little spice. I think blue is the saltiest. Yeah. And when you eat one of those freaks in your life, that's like, I only use half the packet. You're like, I don't want to know you. Just don't call.

Why don't you get out of here? I'm too busy exercising. You're like, relaxed. I like how you define it by color. I'm going to start doing that. Yeah, what's it? Because I don't love to say Oriental like you do. Damn, I was just waiting.

I have like, I have a gong that I hit, like, when Jackie Chan enters rush hour of scenes. Also, does anybody eat the beef one? I don't, I think beef is like, like, maga. I mean, It is red. I just, I've never met anyone that defaulted to the red beef. That prefers red. Dude.

Yeah, anything that's beef flavored makes me want to retire. Like, that's awful. Yeah. Yeah, that's so good. Yeah. Being alive. I don't want to be around anymore. All right.

Let's take a quick break. And we'll be right back to talk about the slowest newsday of the year. I'm Kristen Davis. Most of the podcast, are you a Charlotte? The most anticipated guest from season three is here. The Trey to My Charlotte. Kyle McLaughlin joins me to relive all of the magical Trey and Charlotte moments. He reveals what he thinks of Trey giving Charlotte a cardboard baby.

Why would I bring her a cardboard baby? I was literally, I was like, this doesn't track for me at all. When he found out Trey's shortcomings. I'm kind of excited at talking about, you know, I think he's a guy. I spent time in Central Park. You know, he's probably, you know, he'll be some surgery stuff, you know. And I was like, all this kind of stuff going on. And they were like, yeah, yeah, yeah, fine.

And they said, but he's impotent. And I was like, he's impotent. And why he chose not to return to it just like that. They came and presented an idea. And I was like, I get, I see it. It's so kind of a one joke idea. Right. You don't want to miss this.

Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A decade ago. I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers, but it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight.

I'm the director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health. And I want to tell you about my new podcast called The Mailroom.

And I'm Jordan, the show's producer. And like a lot of guys, I haven't been to the doctor in many years. I'll be asking the questions we probably should be asking, but aren't. Because guys usually don't go to the doctor unless a piece of their face is hanging off. or they've broken a bone. Depends which bone. Well, that's true. Every week, we're breaking down the unique world of men's health,

from testosterone and fitness to diets and fertility and things that happen in the bedroom. You mean sleep? Yeah, something like that, Jordan. We'll talk science without the jargon and get you real answers to the stuff you actually wonder about. It's going to be fun, whether you're 27, 97, or somewhere in between. Men's health is about more than six packs in supplements.

And Fox News was hyping it like it was a UFC fight, dubbed Showdown with Socialism. I don't know if they got like a tip from inside. that Trump was like, he's going to fucking bite his head off. Dude, he wrapped his hands in broken glass. It's fucking nuts what he's doing.

He's been training with Bolo Young from the martial arts films, the bad guy from Bloodsport to get fucking ready for this. Yeah, so stupid. Is he seen the ponytail that he put on top of it? He whips around. He puts a clip in ponytail in the back.

He's like, I'm ready. Bring him in. Bring him in. Um, but yeah, so Fox News, uh, was being previewed as the showdown with socialism and it was that, like, kind of summed up by a, you know, photographs that everybody saw with Mumdani. Not surprisingly smiling. And Donald Trump, looking back at him with the biggest fucking smile on his face. Dude, it looks like when I like met Jonathan Ki Hui Kwan, aka Data, a.k.a. Short round, AKA Academy Award winner. Like, when I was a kid, I looked up to him so much. There's a, I got to find it. I met him and I'm like,

Woo-wee! That is the excitement. Looking up at him, it's so funny. People are like, bro, he doesn't even have pictures with Barron looking like this. No. Yeah. This is the happiest I've ever seen him. Look. It doesn't. I don't, did he just find out what socialism means? And he's like, oh, that all sounds pretty reasonable to me, actually. I mean, a lot of people's his point is like,

Trump can't, like, if he can't say shit about a winner, like, to the point where, like, he has to, like, bow down to winners. Like, it doesn't even matter. And in this one, he's just like, yeah, he's great. The shit he was saying is unbelievable. Like, how, like, suddenly he went from, like, we're going to have to look into this guy. He's a low life communist to being like, we will not be threatening funding at all to New York City. Yeah. This guy's great.

And actually, Trump was like saying, I think he's going to actually surprise a lot of conservatives about what he's going to do. Liberals already like him. And Trump said, I'm totally comfortable being in New York if he's the mayor. It just completely upended all their rhetoric around this shit. Trump suggested that Mom Donnie is going to be a, quote, really great mayor claimed that we agree on a lot more than I would have thought because I don't, I don't read or like do anything. and told him to go ahead and call him a fascist in response to a reporter's question because it's easier and they gave him like a playful arm pet it was hold on we have this clip yeah this clip is absolutely one because again the media they were asking all kinds of questions

to both of them to be like you said he was a bitch and Trump you say he was a jihadist or like you know like or people in your party believe that what do you think he's like no he's actually I fuck with him heavy, actually. It was basically what he was saying. But, yeah, this is a really wild one, too, where they tried to get Mumdani, like, caught up. And you're like, you called this dude accurate. Mm-hmm.

Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist? I've spoken about. That's okay. You can just say, yes. Okay. It's easier. It's easier than explaining it. I don't mind.

It's a backpack. Go ahead. Go ahead, honey. It's easier than just explain. And like talking to your grandchild, it's like, do you think your grandpa's a racist? Like, it's okay, honey. It's, we love each other. We have our relationship.

You can say that. It's easier. I love you. It's okay, baby. Yeah. Every, every quote was so glowing out of this. It does raise the question because, you know, I feel like since this first administration, we've, like, people take what he says seriously because he's the president. I really feel like it's it's like his moods are just wild and swing based on like if he's in a good like Adderall pocket or not you know what I mean every sundowning yeah and like this was early the sun was out you go get those early and also too he doesn't he has no memory of what he said before about a thing right like whatever it is you're just getting his instant reaction to whatever they're like is being asked of

And in this case, he had a good meeting with Momdani, who is, like, personable. He's affable. He knows how to talk to people. So, of course, he's going to, like, he found a way to describe what his vision was. And Trump said, I think it's great. He wants to make it safe. I want it to be safe. I want it to be affordable.

I like New York. He likes New York. That's good. It feels like he was just like, I'madani went in with, like, a handful of talking points that were just like, hey, we both like New York. And he was just like, wow, that's a good point. And then, like, Trump posted so, he posted all these pictures of them together. Yeah.

Like, from his account, he's like, here I am with this cool young guy from New York. Isn't he cool, folks? Again, people were like, you don't even post your fucking kids, bro. Meanwhile, Laura Lumer, not quite as fond. The people on the right were like, you know, came in expecting to see like a UFC knockout and instead saw like just a cuddle fest. Yeah. Laura Lumer said not condemning Trump, disclaimer.

However, I think we can all agree it's a bad look to let a foreign board jihadists who said he wants to implement anti-white policies like taxing white people more money to stand behind the desk in the Oval Office and repeatedly wrote the phrase, what are we doing? I'm stunned throughout. I had to drink a bottle of ginger ale. today after seeing Mamdani in the Oval Office because it physically nauseates me seeing Islamic jihadists and infiltrate our government. Yeah. The Democrats

posted on, despite despite having passed a House resolution condemning socialism, they were willing to post a meme photo with like Mamdani next to Trump and as like the strong doge. Yeah. Yeah. Chad

and little baby. Couldn't absolutely, couldn't stand up to it. I mean, yeah, I think a lot of people are like, what's he doing with Trump? I'm like, dude, he's working him. I don't know. I don't know. I mean, like, obviously, I think what he'll be able to achieve versus what he campaigned on are of two different things because he doesn't have absolute power as mayor. But, you know, it is wild to just, he went in there and turned a guy who said, we might have to deport his ass.

Yeah. To you get whatever money you need, babe. Call me a fascist, babe. I love it, babe. He's kind of cute. He's kind of cute, babe. And honestly, I would love to live in Mom Dhani's New York is essentially what he was saying. So it's, yeah, that really fucked up all the people who were, you know, hoping that the MAGA Islamophobia would, he would keep that same energy.

But I don't think he didn't. He's unreliable, some might say. There were some great images of Trump dressing like Zoran after the meeting. And like, it was like Zeran in a. kind of maroon turtleneck with a black blazer and then Trump in like a maroon scarf with a black blazer and people are like

damn he's even like trying to copy his swag but those were fake those were AI slop yeah don't worry I think the thing that wasn't AI slop that was the most jarring was just seeing their interaction there and also it's okay it's okay baby you can say what you want underscores

to not only like the senility but the cowardice you know Donald Trump he only keeps that same energy for unfortunately women or women of color. That's the only time he's like he really fucking acts like he's like he's like he's like, oh yeah, what about that, that, this, this guy like, this guy calls you a fashion. He's like, okay, babe. You can say it.

It's all right. I actually think it's cute when he says it. Oh, so you don't have that same energy from the Twitter posts? Okay. Okay. I actually can't remember. It's wet energy, babe. It's always love babe.

No smoke, babe. Never wanted it. He does, speaking of Trump and Twitter posts. He is still posting a lot of, like, alarming shit that suggests that he wants to murder the people who said that... I don't want to. I just think seditious crimes should be punishable by death. That's right. And I accuse them of that.

Do whatever you want with that information. Yeah, I mean, again, he's still feeling the sting of lawmakers reminding the troops about the Constitution. Yeah. Because I think it, those are the moments when he has to be like, I. I'm the bad one. I'm like, no, surely not. Now let me, now let me retreat to my,

the soothing calm waters of AI boomer slot memes, uh, with me starring Donald Trump. And he's posting shit like, he's got like a, this AI pick of like him with an American flag cape on with like the New York city skyline, but the letters don't make sense.

It says, remember your oath. Okay. Right. Then there's another one with red lightning. Like he's a fucking like emperor palpitine or some, sith lord like red lightning hitting him it says do it cue on his shoulder of his jacket and it says time to obliterate the deep state yeah and you're like oh y'all that he might self state like he might self

obliterate right uh the the whole cue thing is kind of a weird thing to be in invoking the same week that uh it was revealed that you're all over the epstein files and all over the abstein emails because they're convinced it's not him they're like no no no no no his energy's around it because he's going to upend the pedophile evil cabals that exist among democrats then there's another one with a guy fox mask it said nothing can stop what's coming uh but it's a guy fox mask like as if he's taking off the guy fox mask but he's wearing a guy fox mask this guy fox mask it's so stupid because it's AI nonsense you're like right what are you saying that it's still them behind the mask.

Trump's face underneath, but instead it was Guy Fawkes taking off his Guy Fawks mask. Yep. It revealed a Guy Fawkes mask. It is me, Guy Fawkes mask. So there we are. Meanwhile, none of the targeted lawmakers

are backing down. They're like, he's just trying to intimidate us and, you know, whatever. We're not intimidated because guess what? It's in the fucking Constitution. You're supposed to disobey an illegal order. That's like the whole fucking point here. And Republicans, they're split.

on how to respond you have people who are like clearly trying to differentiate from maga like the rand pauls who are like look i'm just an idiot i'm not maga he's like i think it's reckless uh then meanwhile you have other i think it was tom tillis who is saying like you know children are watching and the president should think about the example he sets for the children that are watching like okay nice light attempt at admonishment uh and meanwhile every like military expert has basically said, like, yeah, what these lawmakers said is absolutely legal and true. You're supposed to disobey in the legal order. He was saying children are watching, so that's why you got to stop doing war crimes.

He was trying to be like, you're a, look, that you're a role model. He was doing the you're a role model, Mr. President. So maybe you don't call for their heads because little kids, you want to show the little children's of the world that we don't just call for people's heads. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how that worked.

That was effective. Such a weird thing to be like. like that that's my line this this looks bad to children it's just such a I think it's a way for them to be critical but in a way that is meaningless to Trump so like they're on record being like well Tom Tillis didn't co-sign that he said the children are watching but Donald Trump's like I don't give a fuck them kids yes he's a he's a big fuck them kids energy yeah and so are you in the demographic is that a still a thing where you believe in Santa Claus is that still a going concern for you are you what are you the

five to 12 demo. What? Exactly. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. I'm Kristen Davis, host of the podcast. Are you a Charlotte? The most anticipated guest from season three is here.

The tray to my Charlotte. Kyle McLaughlin joins me to relive all of the magical tray in Charlotte moments. He reveals what he thinks of Trey. giving Charlotte a cardboard baby. Why would I bring her a cardboard baby? I was literally, I was like, this doesn't track for me at all. When he found out Trey's shortcomings,

I'm kind of excited at talking about, you know, I think he's a guy spends time in Central Park, you know, he's probably, you know, he'll be some surgery stuff, you know, and I was like, all this kind of stuff going on. And they were like, yeah, yeah, yeah, fine. And they said, but he's impotent.

And I was like, he's impotent. And why he chose not to return to him just like that. They came and presented an idea, And I was like, I get, I see it. It's kind of a one joke idea. You don't want to miss this. Listen to Are You a Charlotte on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. A decade ago, I was on the trail of one of the country's most elusive serial killers.

But it wasn't until 2023 when he was finally caught. The answers were there, hidden in plain sight. So why did it take so long to catch him? I'm Josh Zeman. And this is Monster, hunting the Long Island, cereal. killer, the investigation into the most notorious killer in New York, since the son of Sam, available now.

We are breaking down the science, talking with experts, and sharing practical health tips you can actually use in your day-to-day life.

I'm the director of the men's clinic at UCLA Health. And I want to tell you about my new podcast called The Mailroom.

And I'm Jordan, the show's producer. And like a lot of guys, I haven't been. to the doctor in many years. I'll be asking the questions we probably should be asking, but aren't. Because guys usually don't go to the doctor unless a piece of their face is hanging off or they've broken a bone. Depends which bone. Well, that's true. Every week, we're breaking down the unique world of men's health, from testosterone and fitness to diets and fertility, and things that happen in the bedroom.

You mean sleep? Yeah, something like that, Jordan. We'll talk science without the jargon and get you real answers to the stuff you actually wonder about. It's going to be fun, whether you're 27, 97, or somewhere in between. Men's Health is about more than six packs and supplements. It's about energy, confidence, and connection. We don't just want you to live longer. We want you to live better.

So check out the mailroom on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your favorite shows. And we're back. And like we said, you go back, you look at, um, Um, Nazi Germany and like Hitler's like, here's what we, here's what we should be making. All right. These are the type of movies we make. And you're like, that's, that's so weird to just like trust the government with like the movie industry.

So we're entering a world where these Trump approved billionaires are now going to own like a illegal amount or could soon own an illegal amount of the film industry. And what will Donald Trump do? with that power it's starting to take shape and it's actually exactly what I would have expected if I had just like taken the time to think about it

because you just, but you think about all the fascists who yeah the classic 20th century fascists they loved a bit of cinema didn't they Trump? Hitler Mussolini started a whole fucking studio in Rome to be like honey we're going to make the best propaganda films

you've ever seen while also helping our film industry. So to know you know what their visions were they were talking about like the Roman Empire and things like that but it's so I'm guessing Trump is doing like revolutionary kind of material bring back the Patriot with Mel Gibson

so kind of so he's uh he's using his relationship to Larry and David Ellison to bend them to his whims and in that way he he wants to bring the rush hour franchise back which he's not like a

movie got like the thing that we know about his movie taste is the anecdote where he had them use like he used his power to get people to edit the movie blood sport down so that it was only the fight scenes yep yep yep he's he ain't got time he loves broadway musicals though does he that's true yeah but he loves cats he like memories is one of his favorite songs i'm not i'm not like that's it's true yeah He's super into that. Which is soon going to be ironic when he doesn't have that anymore. But yeah, he was blasting a phantom from the Oval Office the other day. I'm pretty sure like that. There's constantly anecdotes about him just viving out to some show tunes, some Broadway. But yeah, somebody was reporting this. They cited someone directly familiar with the conversation saying that Trump personally pressed Ellison

to revive the Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker. Buddy cop franchise Rush Hour, which the New Yorker previously reported that the 1988 John Claude Van Dam action flick Bloodsport was one of the president's favorite films of all time, which could, it could just be him not admitting what he's really into, you know? Right, right, right, right. These are like the ones that have been approved as like macho. And so he, yeah. Oh, man, does he know those two leads in Rush Hour are non-white people? he's okay with that woke nonsense I guess it's cops

the way they are the way they handle delicately race relations they both speak foreign languages if you know what I'm saying I learned never touch a black man's radio from that film you never do it you never do it you just can't I mean

great that's as much as your brain can be right now the most benign thing that we've heard come out of the trouble ministerating media like at a fucking pace we've never seen and he's like, I'm sure one of us is like, well, look, this is what I think we can do about the coverage about what's happening in Palestine. Hold on, hold on. You know what you guys should be doing, right? Rebooting rush hour. I want to see it again. Like, that's, that's where his head is at. Because he's actually already said a thing where he was not really all in on

all these media companies buying up television stations. Like he kind of, because in the whole time, we're like, oh, great, now all of his funkies are going to be owning like all these, like, all these like local stations and can just bend the news to his will but he just recently was like actually I would he said a quote would not be happy if the FCC lifted the national ownership cap because I think someone told him he's like this could just go the other way and everyone like all the people can like make the news be against you um so now I think a little bit of paranoia it's like fucking with his McDonald's you know is that you're fucking with the one thing that we know he loves which is TV right right awesome yeah yeah yeah I think like like the like

There is an approach, a certain approach one could take, which is to, like, feed Trump a steady supply of this kind of stuff. Like, hey, Trump, do you want to perform, like, on Broadway? Do you want to be in cats? Yes. Do you want to, like, be in a new rush hour? Like, and then, like, so that he's like, because he, that is, like, what he wants, right? He's not a good actor or performer. he's well he's very funny his timing is very funny

i think jack was referencing home alone too yeah that's right he was uh let's not it's not shit on all of his performance yeah he's pretty good let's be fair if you if you like if you gave him this stuff like do you want to be Mr. Mistophiles like he might

it might kind of give him stuff to do so he doesn't like go to war with uh could you think i mean you know right because all you about is that working there is just like babysitter time with the most powerful man who can kind of do anything he wants if he says so like have they tried to be like sir you're in rush hour and then they just pull up like an AI video like look at the remember the scene we had the cam he's like

that's right that's right I like you're right okay I'm gonna take a nap now great mr. president I do wonder if because now I feel like it's coming to the point where like everyone else wants to see his time occupied doing anything but be the president but then, like, the people inside the administration have to be coming to that conclusion as well. I wonder if it is time to, like, offer him an exciting project, you know? Like, you get Rush Hour the musical. Well, like, yeah, on the other side, people should be doing that to distract him. Right.

Like, that's exactly what I'm saying. Yeah. With the, you know, with the, like, Mom Donnie visit, I think that really shows, like, the last person, the last charismatic person. to talk to him. He's like, oh, I like you. Yeah. And like it, because he's just, he has like the attention span of like a messed up hamster. So he can't like, he can't remember he's supposed to hate you. So if you're just like, hey, you know what? We're going to do a new phantom of the opera. We think he'd be great.

Really? As, you know, great as, uh, the guy. Really? I don't, I'm actually not very good. I can, I can meet him. Really? Really. I mean. Yeah, like, can you sing about bread? We can get you in, we can get you in lay misrabbs. So, yeah, like, we have to, like, if you compete for his. I can sing about bread bowls. Yeah.

Taco bowls. He loves that. But yeah, just like, I mean, this is, I think actually happening, like, what you guys are saying, like, I think it's actually happening in the Trump administration where they have to, like, compete for his attention. Oh, yeah, for sure. I think they are showing him AI videos, and he might be getting confused about what is real or not, because he did like do a, he posted that medical thing, right? The med beds.

Oh, you know what? Just fun fact, that account that posted the original medbeds video, also a foreign account. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yep, yep, yep. Yep, I was reading about that. Bangladesh, Romania? I think it, well, all I know is it wasn't the U.S. It wasn't the U.S.

Secret compound. Yeah. Volcano Island. Yeah. I think he's very easily confused and very easily manipulated and the people who are working around him need to start thinking outside of the box, getting on their grind set and creating some musical theater projects to occupy his time. Or just like, I feel like Chuck Schumer should just start lying to Donald Trump and being

like, I actually love you, Mr. President. We want to name this building after you. And he's like, wow, did you hear that? they've had a complete change of heart. They're like, they're fucking with you, Mr. President. Why would he do that? Why would he do that? Just completely fuck up.

Create all this weird suspicion in the white as like, you were always a hater, Stephen Miller. I knew that about you. You were always against me. Stephen Miller really likes the movie Casino. Did you know that? Does he? That makes sense.

There's a lot of cruelty in that movie. He's probably watching it. Like, he probably also likes American Psycho. You know, like he likes movies for the wrong reasons. he really loved Robert De Niro and like he like he watched this in high school and then he started dressing like Robert De Niro where in in these movies where he like started wearing rings and thin ties and the whole you know like the hand steepling thing that's like I think that's based on like Robert De Niro yeah exactly like I think his role in casino that was that's what he's he's and he kept doing that so yeah I mean it makes sense why he was so upset when Robert De Niro called him a Nazi. Yeah.

That's right. He lost it. He was like, he's a sad, broken old man. And you're like, oh, why are you crying, fool? Yeah, feelings were hurt. All right. Elsewhere in the entertainment industry, we mentioned last week that Fox News announced a exciting new podcast,

star-studded cast playing the roles of Jesus and his pals. Jesus and pals. It was, I guess, not called, I don't think it was called up. Teegis. The Life of Jesus podcast. His last name was podcast. Jesus H. Podcast.

So we speculated at the time that the actors did this, not knowing that it would end up on Fox because it was created by an external production company and then Fox bought it. But, I mean, you're making a podcast about the life of Jesus. Like, where do you think it's going to end up? Yeah. would be my question. Well, now, Kristen Bell, one of the cast members,

reps have said she recorded her part of that biblical at the time audio book back in 2010 and had no idea about this podcast until, quote, her team received a request for her to appear on Fox and Friends a day before the podcast was announced. Oh, my God. Yeah, I love it. That's not the request you ever want to receive. Kristen, baby, hey. Got a request for you to be.

I heard you doing a Jesus Christ podcast for Fox News. What? Welcome to the team. Welcome to the family, Kristen. Yeah. This is like the case with a lot of Christian movies where it's meant to be Christian propaganda. I think this was the case with there was some anti-abortion movie. With Greg Kinnear.

Does Greg Kinnear appear in it because he really seems to appear in all those. some reason. I don't know. It was a, there's like an anti-abortion movie. I think also, and maybe God is dead, but like that where they like had to trick a lot of the crew and cast to like come on it. And then when they like found out what it was about, they would leave. Because they didn't want to do a movie like that. Yeah. But if you've seen Bowfinger, this is essentially boat. Like, they're using the actors without their knowledge to make a movie or make a podcast in this case that they could, could not have otherwise gotten them to agree to me. Or consented to, yeah. Because I remember with like Brian Cox, you're like, Brian Cox

hates these fucking people. Yeah. And then. A representative of Cox told the Hollywood reporter, Brian recorded audio for a project over a decade ago. He was unaware that the audio would be repurposed for a new podcast series in 2025. Brian, only became aware of the podcast yesterday. Always read the fine print. Wait till they're chopping this podcast up for the words to be like, you guys are doing like a pro-Musolini podcast? What?

Bring him back. I love Musolini. I love Musilini. Man, we're going to come to regret that episode where we just talked about how much we love Musilix. Yeah. Yeah. And for me, tortellini.

Musilene. Musley. You love Musilini. I love tortellini. Musilini. Yep. Is the movie you're thinking of unplanned, Katie?

Yes, I think it was also a funny thing. It was like about this like woman in it who had an abortion and then said she regretted it and worked with like these with the anti-abortion movement. And then she later like when she was really old and kind of she was having some medical issues

and she didn't think that where she was pretty sure she was going to die. She was like, yeah, I actually just did that because they all would be a bunch of money. Right. Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, Roe, right? Well, it didn't like the original, yeah, they paid her off to like become a anti-choice activist. Yeah, because she was not, she was not in a great economic position. Right. So they, yeah, they bribed her to do that. And she was like, okay.

Oh, yeah. That's, have you seen that? There's a new Pablo Tori podcast about Riley Gaines, the Kentucky swimmer. Yeah. I want to dig into that. I started watching it. it's it's really wild again because you there's these people that that the right finds to basically create a victim out of and then they're like perfect now we will find you your absolute transformation more like uh more like riley no gains there you go and that is and that is kind of the ultimate that the ending of the show is that that's what he says and that's why he's being sued um all right that's gonna do it for this week's weekly zeitgeist please
