This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Number one hits, millions of records sold. Awards, sold-out tours. You think that Jonas Brothers are satisfied? Nope, it's podcast time. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Hey, Jonas is available now, and their first guest is a big one.

Paul Rudd. You know, Steve Carell is a great singer. Can you tell you not to audition at the office or something? I told him. Whoa. We were filming Anchorman. Clearly, I was the idiot. Thank God he didn't listen to him, right?

Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everyone. This is Teddy Mellencamp. And Tamara Judge from two T's in a pod. There's been one scandal that's consumed our lives these last couple of months. We're recapping the three parts Summer House reunion. And as always, we're being brutally honest. We're dissecting timelines, receipts, blind items, and previous episodes.

Amanda and Wes, watch out. We're not getting to be easy on you. Listen to two T's in a pod on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. For years, the Un-House has been presented as a monolith in mainstream media. Gweedian House is a podcast that's changing the narrative. I'm Theo Henderson, and I created the show why I was Un-Housed on the streets of Los Angeles. We've grown into a two-time Webby Award-winning podcast, the only podcast that shares Un-House stories and news from the Un-House perspective.

Listen to Wey and Howls on the IHard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is. Getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akila Hughes, and Rebel Spirit, season two, is about both of those things. As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority black city, in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslavers. people listen to rebel spirit season two on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your

podcasts hello the internet and welcome to this episode of the weekly zeitgeist uh these are some of our favorite segments from this week all edited together into one uh non-stop infotainment laugh stravaganza uh yeah so without further ado here is the week weekly zeitgeist. What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? All right. So I looked up my search history. The first thing on it was, what is the daily zeitgeist?

So I figured that out. Then Jack O'Brien Feet. Uh-huh. Okay. Okay. Buddy. And then I hope you didn't find any results. It's not, not great change.

down there. And then the next thing was toe fungus varieties. Uh-huh. You have no idea how real that is. Then how come some of my email addresses and my address book are not populating into my iPhone address book? Not very illuminating, but I think a lot of people could identify with that. Oh, man. I could definitely identify with that.

And the blue voter guide, because today is Election Day, primary day here in California. And I dropped off my ballot yesterday, waited to the last moment because that was the strategy that they advised in case big things change. And, you know, we have three front runners for governor. One is a Republican. And it would be best to shut that Republican out and have the two front Democrats running for governor. Yeah. So that's what's happening around here. Then, okay, I look up back rooms.

I wanted to find out more what the big deal about the movie. backrooms is. Now I know. Yeah. What did you find out? Are you going to see it? But I'm not going in the theater to see it. Are you kidding? Kind of a hard one. Yeah, it's very vibes based. There's not a lot of, there's, it's like, yeah, furniture store and then parallel dimension. That's just not a movie theater movie

for me. I might go see Mandalorian and Grogu in the movie theater. But otherwise, the newsfield disclosure day is like, that's a movie theater movie. It's coming. Yeah, yeah. I can't And apparently it's like his best movie in 20 years. But I looked up something called the strategist's fallacy. I subscribe to a daily blog called Strength and Numbers from a statistician named G. Eliot Morris. And it's a progressive liberal viewpoint at looking at all of the political number polls. And it's fascinating.

It's also generally pretty upbeat from a Democrat point of view. and he refers to something called the strategist's fallacy. And so what that is is the belief by political scientists that the tweaking little things about, oh, the candidate, he should speak more about gas prices of like 10%, and if he spoke a little bit less about transgender sports, then that'll make the difference. And the strategist fallacy is saying these strategists are just focusing on the fringes of the fringes of what voters are really paying attention to. And it's stuff that is out of their control, out of the strategist's control. The fallacy is that they can control or advise their way to success when it's really much larger things.

and generally just the character and personality of the candidate, not the issues. And the perception of, well, competency or number one issue for a lot of races is who can beat the Trump candidate, who can beat the MAGA, who's best position to meet the MAGA candidate. But my kids are voters now, one of them for the first time just now. and they both are kind of single-issue voters in the environment, environmentalism, but not entirely because they love the environment, as we all should, but because that is a signifier of other issues. Someone who votes right, what I'll call right, on the environment, generally is on the right side of all of these other issues as well.

And I'm not going to pull punches here and be like, well, I mean, right to me or my point of view what's right. No, this is another fallacy that we see in the press. There is objectively right and there is objectively wrong. There isn't two sides to everything. There's objectively true and there's objectively a lie. There's not baseless claims or unsupported position. There's truth and there's lies. Yeah.

First of all, the strategists think, well, one of the craziest anecdotes I ever heard was on one of those, like, crooked media podcasts where they were talking about how the first thing that a political strategist does when they meet a candidate is, like, look in their phone and, like, add up all of the money of the people who are in their contact list, like, see how many, like, millionaires and billionaires are in there. And, like, when you think, if you take for granted that, like, it doesn't make really that much of a difference, much of a difference. it's who the candidate or what the candidate's positions are. And it's just like a foregone thing based on that. It's just them being like, how much money can I like make off of this person? Can you afford me?

Like any job, if you're just like, yeah, you want to work with me? Let me look at your phone and look at how much money you have. That would be, that would be seen as a little bit too like on the nose and transparent. But in the world of like political strategists, they're like, no, no, no, no. This is just for, because complex reasons, you know.

Well, I mean, that is probably the number one defining factor of successful candidate is how much money they can raise, right? Sure. But not always anymore. I see a lot of changes there, too. Well, yeah, a lot of candidates just go from small donors, individual donors, and like the old school version of like, do you got like three people that are willing to kick in millions and like jumpstart this thing?

Yeah. But, yeah, I do think generally with young kids. people, we've underestimated how much the environment matters to that. Like, even when people are like, anxiety, like, this young generation has, like, more anxiety and, like, is more fucked up than previous generations mentally. I really think the, uh, what, what is happening with the environment and how just impossible. The current system seems to make it, like, with regards to like doing anything about that has more to do with that than people realize.

But instead, they're just like, I think it's their phones, which I think the phones aren't helping, but I do think. Yeah, to just say it's the phones is a complete disservice to the fact that, yeah. I think they're very smart and have good reasons to be, to feel anxiety about the state of the world. Yeah. But yeah, that's the other thing is it doesn't, the things that are really affecting the voters who it's about turnout. It's not about changing their mind. It's just about getting them out to vote. and what's affecting them are the things that are very low cost.

Right. Yeah, right. You know, well, sadly, AI, viral videos or whatever. So what the effectiveness of money, I think, has changed. Oddly this season, I've been invited to a lot of political fundraisers, which I never had before. I don't, nothing's changed about my financial status. I'm still not a great target to donate a lot of money to campaigns. But I've gone to some of them because it's interesting to meet the candidates.

And Nithya Rahman, I'd met her before. I just went to going to that fundraiser, hearing her speak, not in a debate setting. That was a real payoff benefit. I did vote for her. Yeah. We had her on recently. Oh, okay. Very good.

We almost were going to host a fundraiser here for her. But, you know, that's a lot of work. Yeah, right? You're like, ah, that's a lot of work. What is something you think is overrated? Oh, you're not going to like this. Soccer. Soccer.

Again, I'm going to go back to what I said in the intro. I can be as happy as anyone could possibly be with all of these people who agree with me and are also happy. And then 10 minutes later, I have never felt such despair in my entire life. And it's a lot. It's a lot. It's a lot. And I love the beautiful game, obviously, but I think we need to be on a break. I think I'm breaking up with soccer. Oh, wow. Wow. Taking a lot out of you, huh? Yeah, I'm pro-people hurt people. You got broken up with soccer. You're breaking up with soccer? Yeah, I mean, I want to protest the World Cup anyway because of all the first shit that's going on with it. And I don't feel, like, excited about it. So yeah. At the same time, are we letting them win?

Yes, absolutely. Let them win. If they take away the World Cup from us, like that feels like our job sucks. Like it being like, fuck, these people, they take away, you know, and therefore we don't get to enjoy. I mean, that's the fucked up thing is like FIFA's just a despicable organization. But they are manipulating the most globally loved sport, you know, of football, soccer. And yeah, so people are just sort of like at the, at their will to be like, God damn it. But so many people grow up like on this every four year thing where it's like everybody in their community gets together to obsess about it. Yeah.

Yeah. And like that I feel like I had a few friends who were just like they were, they had tickets to go see something in like the States. And then like now they're going to go to Mexico City. And they're like, that's going to be more fun than being in America. Like, I honestly can't wrap my head around, like, seeing a match in the United States, just giving everything and the fucking ice-gooned threats and the Trump. Will you not watch it? I'm going to watch it.

You're going to watch it, but you just, like, won't actually go. I was so excited. Dude, I was so excited to actually go to the World Cup being here. I mean, I remember in 94 when it was here, it was like, that's what kind of completely opened me up to the sport. And then, yeah, with now, I mean, it's also just prohibitively expensive. So it's not a hard decision to be like, I'm not going to be like, I'm not going going to spend $2,000 to see the U.S.

It was like our decision when we decided to boycott the Met Gala. Remember when we did that? That was so brave of us. Did, exactly. Could I have gone? No. No. No.

And that's why I'm not, though. Yeah. And that's why I'm not. I think, yeah, sports fandom in general, like, during the Western Conference Finals of the NBA, I had like thunder, I went into this season. isn't liking the Oklahoma City Thunder.

I love Wembe Yamma. And so I'm rooting for Wembe over everyone except possibly the Nix because the Nix I always kind of love and I love the city in New York and it's going to be fun if they went. But I was like rooting really hard. I had like thunder derangement syndrome. Oh wow. By the end of that that series.

TDS. TDS. Yeah. And I like for what? Like to what? At a certain point I was like in a bad mood because the Thunder won game five

you know and I'm just like what the fuck am I even doing? Well there's what I'm saying. What need is this filling? Exactly. It's masochistic. Yeah. It's sick.

There's a lot of I mean like that's like even with Arsenal winning like the entire internet's like oh this is bullshit. This is fucked up. And there are people who like I know. The discourse is just inherently toxic like everywhere all the time constantly. Yeah. And there's just like a such a, I feel like even with my allegiances to teams, like I hate

the Celtics, but when they're good, I'm not going to be like, they actually suck. Right. You know what I mean? Because people do shit like that because I think it hurts to admit, but like I can look at that and go, they're fucking so good. It's, it fucking upsets me. It makes me sad. Rather than be able to like, they're shit anyway.

They never were. It's objective. That's the nice thing and the terrible thing about sports is they play the game to decide who's good and who's not. So you can't be like, oh, fuck the Celtics. They stink. And they won the change. I become a five-year-old and immediately like the game, like I have

like whatever the like sports dysmorphia where I'm like they actually suck and the refs are cheating on their behalf. I get like that broken brain when I'm watching it. Do you want on sports. Yeah. Like I truly like my brain like I just

goes right back to being a fucking seven-year-old. Watching my dad's teams play. No. So maybe that's what it is. Maybe that's what I need to get out. What is something you think is overrated? The New York versus L.A. discuss.

Get over it. It's so overrated. You sound like a hack when you talk about it. Just these are two places that people live and they love and it's okay. And that's fine. Also, everyone is bicultural now. Yes. Like, for real, everyone is true.

truly by coastal. As a New Yorker in LA right now, everyone's by coastal. Exactly. You can zip back and forth. We've done this. Like, we don't need to be, like, why are we pitting things against each other? This is just more of the class in charge, just trying to pit us against each other versus looking at them. So let's combine our strengths, actually. Their alternative, you know, it's a problem when their alternative is like, so just move to Wichita. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, exactly. Those places suck. Come to the middle of the country.

Yeah. We'll change you. Come to God's country. Mm-hmm. I will say, yeah, Becca is agreeing with this. And yet I saw her this weekend, she took a drink of tap water and did a dramatic spit take. I was like, you call this tap water.

Okay. I don't drink New York City. I don't drink New York tap water. I will say that. You don't? I love New York tap water. Oh, it's so scary in our buildings. I mean, it depends.

where you live. I guess, you know, my building, don't trust. So when I moved to New York for the first time, like, in the early aughts, my cool sister was like, and by the way, the tap water is good to drink here. And I have never looked into that at all. I have just been fucking drinking it nonstop ever since. If anything, I prefer West Coast tap water and specifically, shout out to Portland, Oregon. Portland, Oregon has the best water. That shit is like, it is delicious. It is like, never think twice. I'm like, hell yeah, I'm going to get some tap water from Portland, Oregon.

Just coming from a river directly tier. Yeah, basically. Yeah, basically. I grew up in suburban Maryland and, like, we had well water growing up. And like, so that's my top tier. It doesn't have that lead umami that you're looking for, though, Jack. So, like, you know. That is my thing.

I like a, hmm, I like to swish it around. Yeah. Like, L.A. Tapwater, though, we can all agree. not great. No, boy. No. No, no, no. That shit is coming for, has traveled a long, weary path to get here.

No. Mm-mm. Yeah. I go to my little water guy and I get my jugs filled up once a week and we're good to go and that's it. And that works for me. Too many people are, oh, yeah, I got a guy. Village water up the street for me. I'm going to shout him out.

Nice. Mom and pop, they're delightful. I take my big jugs over there. they say, do you need help to your car? And I'm like, I can carry five gallons, baby, don't worry. Like, I'm so strong. Yeah, I'm so strong. It's great.

Yeah. Cash only. Oh, don't put them on blast like that. You know that I'm paying taxes. Cash only, just FYI. Now, I do have a question about well water. Well's got a cover on it. This is a question I've always had.

people are like well water is the best can't a bird fall down there well what what could a bird take a poop in there fall down there what we talking well I think there's kinds of wells this this is not like I can't go to a well and you can't go it's not the ring no no no no no no no no no it's not timmy fell down a well where you know it's not that type of situation it's like the aquifer well that they dig into and pull out of. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm sure everybody knew this, but I've always been picturing the baby Jessica well. I was thinking the same exact thing.

When you said well, water, I was just like, wow, there's a well in your backyard. My boyfriend is from suburban Maryland, so I was like, he's never talked about it. He's holding out on you. He's holding out all the good water on you. I was like, oh, but that makes more sense. Yeah, yeah. Well, we have like those giant water towers.

You guys know, like, whenever, they don't have them in California. They don't. They have in Texas, but I never thought twice about them. They just say whatever small town high school is dominant in that area. It's a place for high school students to drink. Yeah, it's like Syfair High School. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those have in my experience, the worst water that I've tasted is the water at the Jersey Shore, the tap water at the Jersey Shore. That sounds about right. That all comes from those big old water towers. I feel you drink it and then you become like gin, laundry, you know?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you get Tanner. Not all Jersey Shore people, Becca. Enough, though. Yeah, but plenty. Yeah, yeah, it's a high percentage. Not all but plenty.

That's for any, any time someone says, not all anything. It's like, yeah, but there's plenty. Enough. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Pride is like love. You feel it in your heart.

called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys?

I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was... This is how you guys remember. going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.

But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

And just then, we felt the plain turn in the air, so much so that the bags that were under people's seats just kind of flew into the aisle. Each week, we dive headfirst into the complex power of secrecy, how it shapes our identities and relationships, and how it ultimately can reveal to us our truest selves. My daughter, she's pretending

She doesn't know, but is trying to cook and feed me and keep me alive because I wasn't eating anything and me pretending like everything was fine. He kind of shoved me out of the way and said, move. And he went out the front door and he jumped in a car and drove off. And that was the last time I saw him. Listen to season 14 of Family Secrets on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back. And prop, what is something that you think is overrated? I think overcomplicated skincare routine. are pretty overrated. What's overcomplicated? So right now, what do you do?

More than splash water? Listen, well, okay, that's under. That's undercomplicated. That's too heteroman. Yeah. Look, dude, it's like something abrasive to exfoliate, some water to clean, and some moisturizing. Like, it's pretty, here's the thing.

In case y'all don't notice, I'm black as hell. Now, I'm black in a way that's pretty unique. in the sense that like, you know, my wife's, like, first in Mexican. I'm very multi-coaching. My wife's first in Mexican. My step-monds Filipino. My brother-in-law, Samoan. You know, I'm, you know, multicultural in the way that anybody from L.A. is, but, like, deep-cutty for me.

You know what I'm saying? Like, there's a lot. It's just a lot. Like, I know that the word kissing a wake-up means the king's blanket on the Kree nation in Canada because I've done some shows up there. That being said, blackety black. Like, as a child, my mother would attack us with Vaseline to just put over our face. And what I'm telling you is, I've never changed.

It's still Vaseline. Like, I just, I feel like, I feel like y'all, like, looking for things, just some petroleum jelly. Y'all looking for stuff, the answers that you already have, right? That's what I'm trying to say. Like, you already have. the answers to this. Wash your face. Like wash it.

It's real simple, right? Like, that's why white people look like they're 10 years older than they are because y'all don't moisturize. Just like, it's real. It's not that black don't crack. We just moisturize. I am very much, like, again, black as hell,

like as soon as I get out the shower, I look like I just rolled in a bacon soda. Like, I get immediately ashy. So I think, and my daughter is the same thing, but she's growing up in East LA. She's not growing up like, I grew up so that she's not being roasted for being ashy.

You know, so like where... It's a problem with kids. It's a problem with kids. They need to roast your little knees, you feel me? So like, for me, I'm like, man, you got greased them elbows. So you just... And then I realized like, oh, yeah,

because skin is alive and it needs moisturized. Moorstriety. But what I'm saying is like, you ain't got bodies like, who was old boy that was slapping banana peels on his face? My nigger.

Right, right. What is you doing? Right. You see what I'm saying? Like all these different products. Now, granted, I'm a girl dad, you know, which I understand the problem with this, the problematicness of describing myself as a girl dad.

I am a dad. All I'm saying is all my children are girls. That's what I'm trying to say. That being said, when I find a cool little lippy or little skin care or something, just to let them know I'm thinking about it. Right? So I'll buy a little face.

rub or something. Just so that's not thinking about them, right? The issue is you know how many versions of air maxes there are? You know what I'm trying to say? Like, right, right, right.

The amount of minutia Yeah, yeah. My 10-year-old for fun, she want to stop at Alta. Like, she just want to go walk around Alta. And I'm like, yo, this entire aisle is for cheeks. Just your cheek bone.

Just the left cheekbone. is this whole aisle. I'm like, are you? And this is all snail musum or whatever. This is all snail juice. Yeah. I'm like, this is over complicated,

dog. Like, y'all, listen. That's the thing. I think it was it called beauty capitalism? You know what I mean? It's got to be that just.

Yeah. But also like with the Vaseline thing, it was interesting too because a couple of years ago, white people discovered it like, and they acted like they discovered it. Yeah. And they're like, I was just going to ask,

had you guys heard of this stuff? Yeah. Yeah. It's actually. Yeah, it's called slugging. When you put a ton of Vaseline on your face and a lot of people who were, you know, like grew up with Vaseline around.

You're like, hold on what? Where? Kind of like when they said, y'all know, y'all remember, y'all remember commercials a few years ago that I said Taheen was America's new favorite topping. I was like Tahit. Really?

We did an episode on Hood Politics when they was talking about how, what could save the world. I don't know if you guys know this, but like eating goat. like if you ate lamb and goat like yeah i don't know no one's ever thought of that it's like yeah so fun yeah and also everyone at the equator right people are like you're like my friend tabitha just suggested just came up with that idea have you guys ever had an ox tail and you're like yes what they're discovering new parts of animals yes here too for undiscovered like ivanka trump is discovering

new islands right right which weirdly i just listened to because again I'm a fan. There you go. Thanks so. Anyway. We love it. And us, fans of you. And us and us and us and us and also with your spirit.

Thanks, we do. Vaseline is, it will fuck. I will get a zit every once in a while. So that is my one word of warning, but it does. And I do get ashy knees now when I don't use Vaseline. So I was like, what are these patches? My knees have elbow patches. Your knees look like dried figs, bro.

Your knees are dead. The skin on your knees are dead. That's what it is. Just give up. Just give up. Yeah, I mean, I have like one cleanser just because I'm oily skin. Just I wash my face with that and moisturize. But I think it's, I think I'm also genetically privileged being black and Asian because there's that.

Before that, it was just water. Sorry, guys. Yeah, my wife tried to explain that to me too. She's like, I don't think you understand how gifted you are. Yeah, yeah. We rarely do. We rarely do. We rarely do.

My first sunburned was last year. Yeah, right? I was like, yo, that's what this feels like? Yeah. Bad. Damn. It feels bad. This is awful.

Yeah. It was only on my foot, too. I was like, did y'all live it with this? All right. Let's talk about our man's Marco Rubio, who just got a fairly straightforward question. Yeah. And nailed it in terms of his response.

I found it very convincing. Yeah, I mean, look, the thing it feels like that Democrats have started to learn a little bit, especially like with the Epstein file hearings and things like that, is like, make these people say dumb shit to defend everything. that is so obvious to the public, right? Because that will, like, having those people on skates trying to explain or rationalize

is an effective way to just sort of demonstrate that, oh, these people are fucking fooling. Yeah. And so recently, Ted Liu was asking Marco Rubio, who came to the House Foreign Relations Committee to talk about a few things.

And Ted Lou just starts off, which is real simple. And again, it's a simple question because we've all seen it before, which is, yeah, you ever been around Donald Trump when he fell asleep, like during a meeting or anything like that? Because again, this underlines just the sort of like severity of his decline and how we are all less safe for it. So here's Ted Liu asking Mark Rubio, a very simple question. You have been at multiple meetings with President Trump.

In a moment, I'm going to show you a video of one of these meetings. And it's all video. Last December, it's a cabinet meeting. I'm going to ask you to focus on President Trump and you will see that he is. sleeping while you are talking. Please show the video. I like how he even goes, oh my God. Oh, my God.

Are you serious? I have to go to the bathroom, actually. Guilty motherfucker is like, he's like, because I have these texts from someone you were, oh my God, are you kidding me? You have these. You're going to use evidence. Oh my God. Oh, my God. That's like so childish of you.

Okay. Then let's go. Real mature. Yeah. Yeah. I feel like attorneys should you. Real mature, your honor. Sarcastic clap.

Real mature, man. Well, we're all impressed. You got me. You have a picture of my client doing the crime. Okay, bud. So Ted Lou, roll the tape. Wait, was that Marco Rubio doing a fake dry laugh? Yeah, because he was like, oh, are you kidding me here?

This is him here. Please show the video. Ha ha. The products they make. And what America's- So Rubio's talking and then to his left, Donald Trump's head He's slumped

And his head is tilted His head is all the way down But eyes are closed All the way down All the way down Like couldn't If he is not asleep Then he's on fentanyl

Yeah he is He's nodding on He just shot up That's like His head is all the way down And you're like Oh he's clearly asleep and then it droops further.

Like it's like he's like more evidently asleep. It felt like Trump was about to wake him like, what, I'm up, kid, I'm up. I'm up. So funny. Okay, so Marco, what do you got to say about that? Secretary Rubio, have you been at more than one meeting where President Trump has fallen asleep? That's false.

He said that's false. I've never seen him fall asleep. On the contrary, the guy doesn't sleep, which is a big problem because he calls me at two in the morning. I was me at five in the morning. And, you know, I like to sleep a little bit. Maybe not 12 hours or spent at least six. So 12 hours.

The other day he was at the Oval Office in second. He's just. At 12.30 a.m. Just blabid. I'm talking about the video. I'm talking about the video. Show you at a moment a video that shows you just lied to Congress. Oh.

This is all, bro, he said, again, but on the contrary. He like, he had to do the thing without really thinking. Actually, he never sleeps. And, like, that's a problem. That's also a problem with it. He said, he'd be calling me late at la noche. Like, he should have just broken his Spanish and be like, I don't know if he could.

I don't know if he could. He's not dermino, no dermindo. He should have just broken in Spanish. He's so lazy. He may have forgotten Spanish, though. So here, so again, he's like, okay, you're really going to go with, he's not asleep. Ted Lou, he loves, he's done this a few times.

He goes, you literally just lie. to Congress right now because that's bullshit but here's another bro. So this is a video of a cabinet meeting literally from last month where Donald Trump is... Let me jog your memory here for you while you are talking.

This video. Again, to break eye content. Directly right next to him. Eyes closed. But it's been driven personally by the president. It's the reason why we're involved in this whole Ukraine, Russia. Up a little bit. Yeah.

would have happened if you've been president. That one's convincing. He goes, it never would have happened if you been president. And it looked at him. Trump is like, eyes closed. He's just like, hey, hey, listen, listen, I cannot confirm his actual state of consciousness. Yeah. Right.

So, yeah, maybe, but I don't know. You can tell he's asleep in this one because he wakes up. Yeah, totally. So you like, see him like kind of start awake and then go back to sleep? He's like, oh, this motherfucker's still talking? the other reason that you can tell he's asleep is because there's a feather that's above his mouth

that he's keeping a loft by going whee-wee-de-be-be-be-be-d-d- Yeah, yeah. He has a stocking, he's got a fucking stocking cap on. And his blown out little a plate with a candle in it right next to him.

Bro, that's totally your dad when you guys were kids trying to watch a movie. Just like, he's out. Like, I'm watching. Don't turn it all. I'm watching. People are bad at it.

realizing when they're asleep. People will swear to you that they've not been asleep. And you're like, full, like, what are you talking about? You're snoring. My wife says that regularly. I didn't sleep a wink last night. And it's like, dude, you're like, you were asleep for like six. Every time I turned around, you were asleep.

My wife says it to me all the time. She was like, well, you were snoring. Yeah, yeah. I was like, what? Yeah, exactly. I slept terrible. I barely slept last night. You were snoring for eight hours.

You snored the whole time. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Anyways, that, so Trump might not realize he's asleep, but Rubio sure is fuck should, since he's right next to him. You're obviously, yeah. Yeah, yeah. He goes on, again, right on the other side of that.

He's like, this is a hard one. You're talking about fucking, you'll see, matters of war, literal war and peace. Yeah. And the president is trying to end it. You are literally talking about issues of war and peace, and Donald Trump is sleeping right next. to you.

No, he's not. If Donald Trump cannot stay awake at these important meetings where the cameras are rolling, imagine what he's like when the cameras are not there.

Yeah. That means, listen, all I know about Marco Rubio, like, this just proves to me that this, he ain't never been in trouble.

And, because when you're in trouble, you got better answers than that. Because what you should say is, I mean, you got to ask him. Like, that should have been the answer.

Like, I can't tell if he's asleep. can't tell that or not. I mean, what do you want me to say, bro? He's listening to me. Yeah, what do you want me to say, man? I'm seeing the same thing you see it. I'm in the zone. Like, I'm doing my job. Yeah, I'm talking. I'm talking. You asking me about somebody else. Like, why are you asking me about another man's thing? Just turn into Dame Dash. When you ask you, you ask a man about another man's life, pause. That's crazy. That's crazy. That's crazy. That's just crazy to me. Like, I would never ask a man about another man,

whether the man's sleep or not pause. I don't know why you would pause that. What are you talking about? Parathetical pause. I do feel like he, Ted Lou should have asked him, since he was like just catching him lying on the record, he should have asked him what his shoe size with. That's exactly. How you go ask a man who's wearing shoes that don't fit him?

For the record? Yeah. What size you wear? For the record, under oath. What size you were? What size you wear? Oh, that's crazy. What size you wear right now?

That's crazy. It looks all floppy. Bro. How many fingers can you get behind your heel? on the back of the shoe. Both hands? Like you're doing prayer hands? How many fingers?

Actually, let me see. Can you make a fist and put it back there? You just like have a lot of grief. He's like your toes to have a lot of wiggle room. That's what it is. Yeah, oh, because you're growing into him. Growing into him. You're growing into them.

Other evidence of Donald Trump's declining mental state would be his big presentation. So he's catching a little heat because he's turning the reflecting pool. famous reflecting pool because it was in that the movie Forrest Gump, I think, is the main thing that's known for. But, you know, it's it was built by an architect to reflect the Washington Monuments, you know, the whole point is that it reflects what's going on around it. That's crazy because that's why it's called reflecting. The reflecting. Yeah, it's right there in the name. It's right the name, buddy.

Yeah. But you did say pool, though. Yeah, we've decided to go with the other. word in the name. We're directing our attention to the other part and we're making it a pool. Donald Trump has been like he's been talking about how his German friends came through and we're like it's disgusting. It's full of filth and you can't hardly see in the water. Yeah. Yeah. But he's again, this just shows you what they're doing behind the scenes with Donald Trump because he's so he's such a size queen that everything's about how much bigger is it than this other thing like he did it with the

the the cd arc that he's trying to the arch that he's trying to build and he's like yeah it dwarfs the arc de triomph in france it's the biggest arc especially you put that huge cake topper thing on the top of it um and now he's comparing the reflecting pool to other objects that are not even pools but i guess i'm sure that's just to help him feel good about this pool i just had this done i just had this done he's pulling out a poster board that looks like a seventh-gradeer science project. Those are among the tallest buildings in the world, including the Empire State Building. It's bigger than okay. Answering a question nobody asked.

Sears Tower, Chicago. Chicago. You take two or three of them to fill it in because the width is almost 200 feet wide. What is the? Yeah. The headline of the chart. says our pool is bigger than a skyscraper. Yeah.

And then it's the pool laid on its side next to a skyscraper, which doesn't, is not how things like size comparisons have, like by that logic, my street is. Yeah, my street's bigger. My street is bigger than the Empire State Building. And it is. And it is. And a lot of people are very impressed by that.

My pool is bigger than a skyscraper. again is really this is very much like okay this it just feels like a like a 10th graders book report where I'm like you obviously didn't read this

because you answering a question didn't anybody ask you and also the basis for comparison makes no sense and just don't like hey man just like you didn't do the assignment it's fine I used to teach high school and there was a few times I had to say

to my ninth graders I would be like hey dude it's it's cool you ain't do it. Just like, wrap it up symbol in the back. Yeah. This is painful.

Hey, I appreciate the effort, though. I'm going to grade you on your effort of trying to bullshit through this. That was actually amazing. But, but not as good as it could have been had you just read the thing. You know what I'm saying? Just a note would have been way less painful and awkward for everybody in class. You just said, yeah, I didn't do it.

It had been way better because now I got jokes. Uh, yeah. So, because I was like, when I started teaching, I was 23. So I was like, I'm like really close to y'all's age. So I'm like, I'm just going to roast you. You know what I'm saying? So like just, I even put it in the syllabus like I will clap back. Okay, because I started off with 11th graders.

So I started off with 12 graders. So I'm like, okay, we're like four years apart. Like I'm going to roast you. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. The fact, his decision to use this to try and sell the refurbishing of the reflecting pool. has drawn a lot of attention to the fact that he just hired a firm that is like somebody he knew

to do the work on this massive reflecting pool. Like who does pools, right? Like it's like residential or like resort pools. Right. Cool. Cool, cool, cool. Yeah, yeah. Got it.

So. No big contract. No big contract. A bunch of, you know, millions and millions, $13 million, which included 20% for overhead. head. Okay, that's a financial term that makes sense in that context. And another 20% for profit, which they don't usually put in the receipt. And this part's for our profit. This is what I'm to keep. That's just what we state is the profit, too. Yeah. Yeah. Who knows what kind of cost cutting even happening below that. Okay. Sure, sure, sure. Oh, man, the most truthful liar on the planet.

I know, right? Well, people don't usually look at this shit. So we're just going to go ahead and Yeah, I'm going to keep that. This is the part where we're cheating. Right. Yeah. And they're doing a great job, right? I'm sure they're not fucking this up at all. All right.

They're not buying it. They're doing a terrible job. They're fucking it up. And it's going to go badly. They're trying to like rush it through before the CNC Music Factory concert that they're doing for the 250th. Come on, freedom. Is he still in there? The freedom's still saying?

He's still hanging in there, right? Yeah, freedom's still in. Freedom's like, what does it be like, you're not going to tell me this is about freedom of speech. And it's not, you know, he's, like, freedom is the rapper from CNC Music Factory for our listeners who weren't listening to that episode. He's not even in C&C Music Factory. Right, right, right. He is CNC Music Factory. I'm just like, nigga, we added you and did you?

Yeah, the worst. He just bought the name and then. Right. Yeah, that's insane. Like, there's no way this just looks like a hotel pool by the end. Is it like, is it really going to be that? bad because his poster certainly does. Like the poster,

my issue is, is it a public pool? Like, can you, like, you just not like, yeah, it doesn't matter. I'm trying to apply logic. It's just more grifting. You know what I mean?

It's like, you got all this money. You're fucking handing it off to some fucking guy, you know, has no business to it. You've never had any kind of federal contract ever. Right, right.

Who knows what kind of circular payment is even happening there. It's like, yeah, 20% debt's mine. Okay. Yeah. And I'll give it to you

because how the fuck else are going to get a fucking contract like this. Yeah. That it's like, you know, like, I know the, like talking about the pool is one thing, but it's just, it's just another moment of just sort of out in the open naked corruption. It's just, yeah. Yeah.

Financially, he was a bully and like didn't pay people what, like before he had absolute power. Yeah, like, notorious. What he's like to deal with now. Like, when he was just a, like, rich crook. Yeah, cheap skate. Like, he was bad to deal with. He imagined how many people. people he's not paying right.

Victor, Super producer, that's what you call him, right? Yeah, yeah, Super Producers, Victor. Made a point about calling at all hours of the night sounds so manic. And yes, and what I do love about, like, my, some of the all-homies used to always say that, like, a narcissist always reveals their cards, right? And, like, my granny was always like,

the truth is going, she said it a little more country, but it's like, the truth going to come out your ears. which is like eventually what you're trying to hide is going to come out right so like in him obviously Marco Rubio is exhausted and regrets all this shit that he's a part of right now so when he was just like matter of fact

the dude don't sleep he called me at two in the morning he can't stand Trump right like I'm just like that's what you just told me right now you can't stand this fool like I'm like it's going to come out I'm like oh there it is the Trump coming out you actually that's a good point. He calls you a two and five.

I actually believe that part. Two or five and more. I actually believe that because that probably get all your nerves where you just, you're trying to lay in your bed and just like pinch away. We're just dumb shit. Calling you with some dumb shit. What do you think, Marco,

should we bomb everybody? No, Mr. President. Probably going, Polo Dios. Yeah. Working on my Spanish. Is that good? Is that good?

Is that good? I had a Cubano sandwich. I didn't realize it's just a ham sandwich with mustard. Nobody do. Nobody who, nobody knew that Buenos Dias just meant good day. Nobody knew. Well, because it does sound like, you know, like, I remember when like, my, like my grandfather towards the end of his life, once my grandmother passed and he was in that really kind of like, like, where your partner goes.

Yeah, yeah. And you would get, and this is what he would call everybody. He called my uncle. He called my dad. He called me. He called my cousin. And just would like stuff because he's like lonely. You know what I mean?

Yeah. In the beginning, like I remember my, like my dad and my uncle, they had shit. on. They're like, I can't. It's like, my dad. He's like, Grandpa was calling me again. He's like, talk to him, talk to him, talk to him. Talk to him. And it just feels like another version of this, like, you're getting towards the end there. You're feeling lonely. And then like, you've got a couple

people you know are going to pick up the phone. They're going to pick up. So, fuck it. You're going to call and be like, have you seen Bloodsport, Michael? It's like, man, it's fucking 4.30. I know you just pulled that out of nowhere, but I literally watched Bloodsport. Did you? That's his favorite.

Where to God? He didn't blow that out. No, that is. Yeah, yeah. We were, okay, so, uh, speaking of multicultural, I do a dude's trip to Montana every year. Wow. So fly fishing. Like, wrangling horses and shit?

No, like, now, now keep in mind, I said no to it four years in a row until I finally, because I was like, this is who all going to be? Off-brained. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it's on a reservation.

Uh, it's this organization. Uh, they, you know, put together, you know, just a group of dudes. And after a while, it starts being your own homies. And it's like fly fishing, you know, pontoon, you know, shooting clay, whatever. It's just a dude's thing. Me and the homies go and we just play dominoes the whole time. But either way, it was raining this weekend out there. And one of the homies that never seen Bloodsport.

Wow. So we watched that. We watched over the top. Oh, wow. We watched Predator and we watched Enter the Dragon. It was great. Wow. Anyway, a dude's trip.

And see, and if Trump calls you, you would be like, in matter of fact, I have seen what. Actually, yes. Just watched. What would you like to talk about? Yes. What's the best part? Yeah. What's your favorite?

What's your favorite part is when he does the split? And he punches him into balls. Remember that part? That was sick. Let's take a quick break. We'll be right back. Pride is like love. You feel it in your heart.

We're back. And the Denver International Airport is, for people who aren't kind of read up on their conspiracy theories. The Denver International Airport is a is a real hot spot. Now the the pieces of evidence that I've seen are they got a scary horse outside, scary horse sculpture. And what's it called though, Jack? Blucifer. Yeah. Uh-huh. I mean, it's actually officially titled. It's a visually titled Mustang, but the conspiracy theory gave it the name Blucese for it's a blue horse.

And its eyes do glow red. Yeah. Here's something you made. may not know about that, but it killed the artist who made it. It fell on them? When they were craning it, lifting it out of his studio, a cable broke and it swung and it killed the artist. Oh, my God. Okay. I'm back on board with the conspiracy theorists.

All hail the dark Lord, Lucifer. Does it, its eyes actually glow red, right? That's not a thing that's being added for artistic effect. I think they're red. They're not glowing red. Yeah, right, right. I think. I do like the idea.

that's just doing like the based meme, like from the internet, just like the glowing red eyes. Yes. The other big thing is that there is a secret network of tunnels underneath the Denver airport that people have decided would probably be where the Illuminati, the powers that be go to, not on any of the secret islands that they all own and were on the, you know, billion dollar yachts that they own. But underneath the Denver. airport is probably where they go to hatch their schemes. And also, I think there's some theory

that, like, they're somehow immune to, like, nuclear warfare. Oh, that could serve as, like, a bunker of some kind. So it's, like, where they go. But, Jonathan, is this something that you were aware of prior to your work on Mission Implausible? Probably only in the back of my head somewhere. But you're right, Jack. We did do an episode of it on Mission Implausible because it's such a classic conspiracy theory. And I talked to people at Denver Airport. I talked to some journalists who had visited it. And then I also talked to people who construct underground bunkers for survivalists. And I got pretty in depth in it as kind of a researcher. And here's my conclusion is that there isn't a bunker like that under Denver International Airport, but there is somewhere else. Maybe not

22 miles of area. But that is how you would have built it, cut and cover. You dig a whole, perfect situation for them to do it. The only thing that doesn't add up is why would you need to put an airport on top of it? A big international airport on top of it. And I mean, the reason people think is so that all the rich people can fly in and there's a place for them to land. But you don't need the world's biggest, the country's biggest international airport to allow rich people to fly in and land. Rich people love to fly commercial in my experience. Yeah.

Right. And also there's a rumor that is a train, underground train tunnel between that and the, what's the bunker, the military bunker? Norad. Norad, which is spitting. distance away. Maybe there is. I don't see what the benefit would be, but I came away thinking, like, yeah, physically this could have been done. Logically, it wouldn't have been there. And here's the thing that we come up with about so many conspiracy theories. Too many people

who were in on it would have to have to have to know about it. You can't just keep all of these construction workers and be like, look, you just work on this. area and you won't know about anything else, people would know. And the rule of thumbs, conspiracy theories, if more than three people know about something, it's going to get out. Sure. So that, somehow that information would have leaked out. But there's just so much artwork in the airport, and a lot of it people think, okay, this proves it. This proves it's people expect a society to collapse or whatever. It's just so much. much artwork that statistically you will find some that support pretty much any position you would have.

Yeah. One of the pieces of artwork that they point to is a mural called Children of the World Dream of Peace. Sounds innocuous enough. But there is an individual painting. It's a series. And one of the paintings has children sleeping as a giant skeleton soldier holds an AK-47 over. them and is like swinging a sword down at them and people are like the clues are all there mr policeman they they gave us all the clues but yeah it is a it is a it is a it is a bit of a wild

painting to have in an airport in an airport trains and you're like airports are always like kind of dancing that line between like we got this like local artist who's like really uh challenging to like create a work of art and then like sometimes it's like whoa yeah yeah they really went went off on that one. By the way, the blue Mustang's eyes do light up. They're illuminated red eyes. Alumin what, Jack? Illuminati used to red eyes.

Oh, okay. Okay. All right. So the other problem with, does anyone see this show Paradise? I just started watching it with Sterling K. Brown? Yeah. It's a fun show.

And the first season anyway, and a lot of the next season takes place at basically a version of this what people say is underground in Denver, where all the elites had secretly built this city that they can live in and wait out until the earth is habitable again for like a generation or two. First of, and aside, from what I, watching this stuff and talking to people about this stuff, I think I would rather just take my chances on the surface, even if that is, like, instant death. It just seems so miserable. But the moment that shit starts going down, the concept of money has no meaning.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, like, all right, a picture, you, Jack, are in, I don't know, you're in Minneapolis. You hear that there's nuclear war starting. Everyone knows there's nuclear war starting, and you're like, shit, better get to. It's cold up there. Better get to Denver airport. All right, where's my pilot? Hey, pilot, fly me to Denver airport.

and then leave. Yeah, get out of here and don't tell anybody. I've got a better idea. You stay here, I'll get my family, we'll fly to Denver. There's no,

there's no such thing as an employee, employer, or let's say you trick everyone into it. Now people are in the bunker, and then it's like, all right, you're my security guard. No, I'm not.

You're my security guard. Yeah. How about that? Yeah, we had Douglas Rushkoff on, who wrote that book, Survival of the Richest of, like, the Escape Fantasies of Tech Billionaires. And that's a good one. He was bringing that up, too.

I was just sort of like that even these guys are like, well, what do we do? Like, give them exploding shock callers. So they're like, or do we say we have the only key for the food? So if we're gone, no one gets food, like having to game out what happens when it becomes about purely survival because everyone at the end of the day, you're going to be Billy Zane at the end of Titanic. Okay. And the guy's going to be like, your money is no fucking good, bro. Everyone's fucking about to go down.

Get the fuck out of my face. Right. Like, all right. Well, instead, we'll have pass codes to get into the food vault. And you'll have to get that. I'm memorizing. It's like, all right, well, how many limbs will you allow to be cut off before you give them that passcode? Right, right, right.

We talk about this. There's this interview with a Silicon Valley, like venture capital, millionaire, who is just like, Like, one of the only conversations I hear consistently at these, like, parties with millionaires and billionaires in the tech industry is, do you shoot the pilot? Like, when the pilot takes you to your bunker, do you shoot them? So they, Jonathan, they've gamed that out, actually. They're one step ahead of you. Just, I want to give our listeners all the clues because there's some pretty compelling stuff here also. The runways are supposedly shaped like a giant swastika.

How does that help them in any way? The clues. They like to do clues. That's one thing we know about the people who control the world. They love Easter eggs. They're like Taylor Swift, man. Why do you think they drew the dollar bill like that? You know?

Yeah. It's the clue. I mean, if you only fill in lines that would make a swastick of the numerous roads and structures in the airport, I mean, you could make all kinds of. kinds of shit out of this. But they're like, look at that, dude. It's a completely imperfect lopsided swastika. It's the most lopsided shitty swastika ever.

They, but yeah, the tunnels are the main thing. I had never read the actual origins of the tunnels. And it's just a failed project by United and the Denver airport. United was like, hey, why don't you create like automated, an automated system that like takes all the luggage and like transport it transports it exactly where we want it to go and they tried

it and they were not up to the task. It fucked up constantly bags were constantly being sent to the wrong put on the wrong flight and so they had to give up and then they started just using the tunnels for

like people driving cars like the same thing that happens at every other airport. It's just like now happening in tunnels that also have these big conveyor belts that nobody uses in them now. Yeah. I mean, the terminals are so, I mean, because if you have to take that train underneath the airport, you know, if you're going from terminal to terminal, like, the other thing is, too, is like, if that train goes down, a lot of people are missing flights and it turns into chaos, although they say it's, you know, it's working 99% of the time,

but that 1% could just cause so many issues. So I'm probably like, yeah, I guess we've got to maybe open up the tunnels, just sort of a backstop. to that. Yeah. But opening up the tunnels feels like it's bad for the conspiracy theory industry. There's a good screencap of a YouTube page that our writer jam brought that says, I saw what's under the Denver airport. And the person is giving a shocked look in the image.

And then there's another one, the truth under Denver airport. And there's a like literal like cartoon child devil. walking through a corridor. This depiction of like a demon is weird because it looks like the tail is coming from the center of its back. Yeah, the tail is too, yeah, I don't know how they've constructed this. It feels like they constructed it from too tall a dinosaur for the tail. So now the airport has tried to make a fun thing about it.

Hey, come to Denver airport and meet the aliens. Yeah. It's, all right, great. But conspiracy theorists will say, that's exactly. Exactly what I'd do if I wanted to throw them off the scent. That's right. Lean into it. Lean into it.

They've been playing into the conspiracy theory. There's an ad or a sign that was posted as they were, you know, doing construction somewhere. And, you know, there's always fun signs to apologize for construction. It's like, excuse our mess. Yeah. Right. We're just a— We're in the process of getting beautiful for you.

fucking say, Jack. Because they fucking are. Like conspiracy theory is like, see? See, I told you. Where's that jackhammer? Fuck, the lizard people stole it again? Fuck, God damn it. A good conspiracy theory is one

in which every counter argument actually just reinforces The belief of conspiracies. That's right. That's right. Exactly. So they've got a perfect one right here, you know. Yeah. Oh, God, get us in those tunnels, man.

Get me down there. Sounds like it's going to suck. I'll fight these lizard people, man. Just get me in there, bro. Let me bang, bro. Let me bang, bro. I'll fight them all, bro. By the way, if there was nuclear,

Fucking MP3. And all he had was like Duran Duran. Like, you know, like, I think I forgot the other albums.

Is that what happens in the movie that they can all. listen to vinyl. He's got these vinyl, but he's... Is he cranking it? A little bit. He had to start to start it. Yeah. Yeah. And then I think you might have a solar panel somewhere. Maybe, maybe, but he's doing it. He's doing it. But he's just listening to the same few albums over and over. Yeah, yeah. That's what we used to do. I used to, I had my CD book, and then it got stolen, and I had the CD that was in my car CD player.
