These are some of our favorite segments from this week, all edited together into one nonstop infotainment laugh-stravaganza. Yeah. So without further ado ado here is the weekly zeitgeist so we're staying in a hotel uh while we're in chicago that used to be a and is now a yeah yeah first of all still owned by still owned by and if you don't know what it is i mean shout out to everybody who hooked us up with this hotel i don't mean to talk down about it no but at the same time i'm gonna give my assessment

honestly as a consumer it looks like what a 60 year old person's idea of what a millennial wants to be in yes it looks like a pinterest hellscape in here yes it looks like instagram threw up on the inside of a hotel and the funniest shit is when we check in they're like and just so you know the rooms are european inspired so they're a little bit cozier which is code for no closets right the motherfucking shower i don't know if y'all hear that i'm banging on the shower the shower is a phone booth right next to your bed that you can reach. Anna's head is sitting on a sink. But it's like well designed. Aesthetically nice, sure.

Yeah, it's aesthetically nice. It's working. I've got my, like, yes, there's no closet, but they give you a bunch of pegs to hang your shit on. It looks like a, you look like a down and out elementary school teacher in a halfway house. Yeah. But the TV says your name when you come in. Yours said your name?

Yeah, it said, hello, Edgar Morvizier. Oh, mine said, hey, you want to watch internet TV? Yeah, mine did. playhouse yeah but the tv says your name when you come in yours said your name yeah i said hello edgar moe was oh mine said hey you want to watch internet tv yeah mine kept being like netflix hulu like all these streaming platforms hey kid he's up we get it i turned the tv off to start working on the doc today and it came back on it's like what about internet tv millennial what about these internet flicks what makes me mad is like the inconsistency in like culture like when you come in they give you like a free drink ticket but it's a poker chip right that's the only vaguest thing about this entire thing and then everything else is like the burritos are like zombie inspired for some reason well because that's millennial right it's like they're chasing

trends it's just so inconsistent there's a korean x mexican food collab yeah which is actually tasty it was a tasty yeah but you know the koge truck did that to sort of bring that it's all sort of derivative off of things that were huge like eight years ago it was it was designed by the grandchild of whoever designed tgi fridays and like he's's a millennial who like is just like, they even had extreme sports on. It's like, we don't do normal sports. Yeah.

That was weird. You pointed that out. Like they had extreme sports being projected on the. The funniest shit was at the, when I was checking in, the person at the front desk got a call like on the line and goes, Hey, what's up?

It's Amy at the. What do you need? Oh, actually, can you hold on i'm dealing with a customer and like that seemed to have been like the protocol for everybody using the phone was like this sort of like hey we're casual we're kids it totally is because housekeeping lets you know that they're coming by knocking the beat of grinding no yes they do bro

dude i wish i could do it on the table fuck it all right do it on the table it's like this it's like housekeeping no housekeeping i heard to do it like five times that wasn't the beat from grinding i'm not to nitpick there no it was bad it was i'm not great at it yeah i'm not great at it but it was a rhythm wait but then they did housekeeping rhythmically in between the drums housekeeping wow grinding and did they have like a dyson little like cord like a cordless vacuum of course just that's it and she was naked i i think the girl who checked us in who's very nice by the way uh but i think she had like a fake tattoo on her no really either that or like it was a tattoo that like she was being removed anytime

i'm in like hanging out with a millennial, I'm always like looking for the tattoos. That's you also. You're an elder millennial. Yeah, yeah. I'm elder millennial. And so I'm like, you know, I'm always conscious. Are you respecting the culture that we created? Exactly.

And I'm always conscious. And I was like, these people have to have tattoos. They would be fired if they didn't have tattoos. I haven't seen a regular looking person working in this hotel. No. Even the white people have dreads. Yeah. Right.

That's true. I was like, yo, shout out to homegirl with the cinnamon bun roll, one dreadlock curled up like the snail. Are we going to have to bleep the name of the hotel? Probably. Oh, well. It's a millennial inspired hotel. And the other thing they did, like we were talking about it's so small but it's smart like

it works is the is the thing that i want to come back to the apologist no i'm not being an apologist so like we were we were standing over there waiting for our delicious nachos talking shit about the place being like this place so stupid look at the decor and then we came back to the table one of our fans was having a drink with us and we were like so what do you think of this place she's staying here and she was like i like it it's fun i was like oh yeah i'm like how old are you 25 yeah all right that's what i'm like i'm old too yeah because like the the lobby is has a dj spinning. It has giant versions of your favorite board games. The gigantic Uno card set, I'm sorry, that was a step too far.

I can understand the Connect Four and Big Jenga, but gigantic playing cards, they're not even useful. How are you going to be coy about your hand in Uno when each card is three feet high? You're like, oh, oh okay i see what you're doing you like shuffling a four foot card right which i hit you with wild drop connect for it does make it more fun with uno it's just like it's cumbersome as fuck yeah but yeah i mean it's fun and uh i mean it's fun and it's profitable no it's fun it's fun for millennials and it's profitable

because i like think about how many extra rooms they cram into this. Like a normal hotel would have half as many rooms. Yeah. Yeah. But they were just, you know, they're like, put the rooms in half. It's European inspired. Yeah.

Fancy capitalist cubicles for millennials. Yeah. It's just, they learned how to, it's basically like the social media manager from a company was like, what if I opened a hotel? Well, you know, there were like, I saw like masks you could use for like gramming. Yeah, yeah, yeah. As if you're at a wedding type shit. There's literally a giant pillow in the lobby that says do it for the gram.

No, that's the table. The big gigantic table that says do it for the gram. Oh, but there's also a moving podcast studio in the lobby right yeah yes that we were like oh dope we can use that and then we saw it was the size of i'm not even joking like a bathroom stall yeah like darth vader's like pod that he sleeps in well it's fine you know it's for two people but you can't do a second rate podcast like this that's why we sound noisy ass hotel room we sound like some spoiled podcast i want to i want to bring something up real quick if i can yeah it's about the game you're watching it is they're down by 30 points there's no way they're gonna win this game they being who

san antonio spurs are down by 33 points at some point y'all should stop right like oh like a mercy queen in the nba i feel like they should. I don't want to keep going. Get the fucking break speed off you. Yeah. The coach will leave them in. He's leaving his first stringers in because he wants them to feel the shame. He's like, oh, you don't want to run my offense or my defense? Okay. I mean, what'd you do?

The unfortunate thing is San Antonio just lost by 30 to Dallas. So they're struggling right now. Yeah, they are. But anyway, for those of you who are time traveling, this is a game that has already happened. But yeah, enjoy that little bit of insight. Yeah. Off the bat, I wanted to talk about the shitty, awkward high five

heard around the world between Vladimir Putin and MBS. Yeah, you said white guy high five. I'm like, I think only one of those guys counts as white. Right. Yeah, well, it's just's just you asking the wrong person putin's just got his hand up and he's like yeah there's like a big pause before where he gets that uh white guy anxiety about how am i gonna do this high five what i don't know so for those of you who clearly are not looking at the gif we're looking at on it's at, yeah, from the G20

when Vladimir Putin and Mohammed bin Salman, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, caught each other at a little summit. And the way they high-five sent chills through my spine. I just retweeted the video and said, when you both fucking the same nation. Because it's sort of like, they're like, yeah, boy. Eskimo nations. Oh, yeah they are i mean it's the confidence and also the funniest part is when trump sheepishly

comes in from the back yeah you guys talking about me and he's like looking from a distance like hey what's up guys well i mean these are two men who clearly have some kind of power over trump whether it's clearly financial in the term in terms of mbs or it's some kind of compromise thing for putin like we're looking the other way with the khashoggi murder we're looking the other way with everything right with russia we already talk about the fact that you can see trump in the background yeah yeah he just comes in late like but there's a photo that someone put online where you can like see him looking looking yeah oh at them it's like a very split second but he's like and you can see the sadness in his eyes of

like i won't be now well yeah and putin's clearly doing it he this is i've never seen him like demonstrative like he's the showing out he's yeah it's like he's somewhere with an ex and he's trying to show like how good i'm doing yeah uh oh i've been who donald never heard i've never heard nbs is bay now right and yeah he's just trying to he's doing it for trump he's doing it for the western cameras to just be like yo i am public enemy number one i am going to fuck you up like look this dude murdered one of your journalists and now he is my best friend because he did that well can i can i be real with y'all well and it hurts me that we're not talking about this how sad it must feel to be donald trump right now because your

friends don't want to let you go talk to him they're like don't go don't go over there don't you can't talk to them don't talk to them they're can't talk to them. Don't talk to them. They're not good for you. No. All he wants to do is go over there, but he can't because he has to put on a show for everybody else. Also. Yeah, he didn't even want this. I'm going back to the game real quick. Everyone's doing this thing of wearing suits for Craig Sager, and Mark Jackson is clearly not playing along.

He's like, this is my, I have boundaries. I have boundaries, bro. Wear a stupid ass suit because this nigga died of cancer. Not me, bro. Yo, he's like, this is my I have boundaries have boundaries and poor stupid-ass suit cuz he's gonna get out of cancer Not me, bro Mark Jackson the wrong one mama there go that man with no empathy But like I just think that like Donald Trump is like again, I have no sympathy for the man Yeah, he's evil. But this is a fuck situation bro. Like this is mocking you in your goddamn face and then he also uncanceled their meeting so trump what basically trump's people canceled the meeting for him and were like you this would be very bad and then

putin was like we don't buy his uh reasoning for that and we're still gonna have the meeting anyway yeah the kremlin you're not breaking up with me was so fucking savage was like hmm like it was so sarcastic it's like that's interesting that they say they canceled it for those reasons but we feel that that's entirely not the case it's probably due to domestic problems that the president is facing in his own country the meeting they're like they will meet whether it's informally or not yeah that's some pimp shit yeah that's like yo you're not breaking up with me no right like okay watch this yeah which is very frightening which is a good sign that uh you should get a restraining order against somebody but uh why do you do that the un or nato right yeah who's gonna sign that restraining order yeah it really just solidifies him as like openly being the villain and there's just nothing we can

do because of who our president is at the moment he's just he's just a punk bro like straight up as a punk doesn't want to like you know be tough and i get it it's not an easy situation to be tough in but come on bro have some balls at least yeah self-respect he was never i think that's the difference is we're trying to look at him as even being a president yeah he's just some fucking schemer who yeah found his dumb ass way into it and was like oh shit i'm the president now yeah he's just a narcissism complex with a dick that just like goes around just being like yo like what is going to either get my dick wet or make me feel important and that'll make my first porno narcissism complex with a dick yeah it was uh it didn't get a lot of what was your porn hub

huh what was your porn name haitian stallion oh that's very original yeah isn't your porn name supposed to be your middle wait what is it your pet's name plus the street you were born on and those are both also correct your first step was a stallion no the cat called haitian i was born on stallion we want to talk a little bit about the recently deceased president george herbert walker bush because the nation is in mourning there's a a national day of mourning on Wednesday of this week, as declared by our current fearless leader. And this is one that we've actually had our eye on for a while, to put it in one way. You mean this story? Yeah.

And his kind of impending demise, because they say that once one member of an elderly couple goes, then soon after, if they're truly in love or if the woman is really the backbone and the hard ass and the muscle in the relationship, then as in this case, then maybe, you know, they're not. I mean, I'd say the length of time he died after her proves he didn't really love her. Wow. We were debating. A lot of people were saying like, oh, he'll probably be heartbroken. It could be weeks.

It could be months. He went on for months. Yeah. I mean, I don't want to say that we were taking action on when we thought this might happen, but we might have been. Right. And I'll just leave that there.

Yeah. And maybe Nick or I have one, and we'll have to look at the digital evidence. But, yeah, it was interesting, though, to see all the very interesting, I guess, changing of history. Yeah. Or at least the very selective focus on certain aspects of his presidency and him as a person. That's the great thing about being a likable, charismatic guy, is that you can do horrible things. Like Trump, nobody's going to be like telling warm stories about Donald Trump.

Right. Like mainstream media won't. But you've got a lot of people doing it for Bush because he was just a charming guy. Yeah. And he got along with his critics. Like him and Dana Carvey were like pals, even though Dana Carvey would like regularly make fun of him on SNL. Yeah. Well, and he was fine with Dana Carvey, but he was really pissed about the Simpsons, which is why the Simpsons made the greatest effort. Yeah. He, he mentioned them specifically in a speech, something about like

how we needed more of less Simpsons. Yeah. Less, less people who are like the Simpsons, basically like the Simpsons had Marge write him a letter and stuff, being like, well, we think our family's pretty okay. And it was like this whole thing. And that's why they made that episode where Homer and Bart fight with George H.W. Bush. The best episode of the Simpsons. Yeah, that's funny to remember a time when the Simpsons was like the edgiest thing we had going in America. And they're like, look how big they made Ross Perot's ears. Yeah.

He said, don't have a what? Yeah. I mean, he lived an indisputably interesting life. Oh, yeah. There's a picture of him shaking hands with Babe Ruth on a baseball diamond when he's in college. And when he's in college, he was not the world's greatest military pilot, but won the right level of military pilot to have lived a very interesting career as a military pilot where he got shot down a lot. He did his part against that whole thing. Yeah. Got shot down a lot.

That happens to a lot of people. Is the only person known to have crashed a plane off the Naval Pier in Chicago? That was a piece of trivia we learned this weekend from Keith Sneal. What is it about Republican statesmen and not being very good pilots? We won't bring that up. I'm just saying. Well, I mean, Harrison Ford, though, and he's, you know. Is he conservative?

No, he's not. So I was saying, you know. He might as well be with his look of having that earring. I'd be like, this is a conservative in denial. Oh, I would just assume that I can buy acid from him. From him. And that would be my first question to Harrison Ford. And you'd be like, what?

Okay, come over here. Yeah. Yeah. But, I mean, besides the David Coppa feel, his grabbing women on the ass and whilst telling them the joke, you know, my favorite magician is, that all happened in the past handful of years when he was in a wheelchair, very old, maybe wasn't fully at functioning level. But besides that, I can't really think of a bad thing to say about the guy. Can you guess? You do a show called Behind the Bastards, Robert, and I have a feeling there's no material for you when you talk about George H.W. Bush. Y'all ever heard about the Highway of Death?

Is that a horror movie? Yeah, I mean, but it actually happened when the Iraqi army was in retreat. There were thousands upon thousands of men, many of them in civilian vehicles, fleeing from the highway from Kuwait back into Iraq. They were no longer any threat to the United States military, not that they've been that much of a threat to begin with, but they were running the hell away, and he ordered them bombed. And we don't know how many people died, thousands upon thousands. There are pictures you can find particularly of one man burnt alive in a car he was trying to free himself yeah yeah horrible pictures it was a war crime we didn't need to do it it was uh it was an act of military

terrorism uh that george bush approved because he essentially wanted to send the message to iraq stop it with this fucking invading people stuff so you can debate whether or not you think that was justified based on your own personal ethics, but he ordered the bombing of thousands upon thousands of fleeing people who were no threat to anyone. Yeah. An interesting thing about him that people probably don't remember now because the media probably doesn't like to bring it up that much, but one of the big marks against him at the time was that he was a wimp. Wimp.

They were like, this guy's a wimp. Right. Headline. President a wimp. So in order to counteract that, people have suggested that that might have been why he went so ham in the Operation Desert Storm. Weird flex, but okay. Right.

And why he invaded Panama in 20th of December, 1989. There's a pretty interesting documentary about that where the US invasion does not come off all that positively. Okay. Who among us has not invaded Panama once? Right. Right? I mean, I'm not going to throw shade on the guy.

I did take a river tour on the Sarapiki River. And I almost went near there. But no. The other thing is the coverage is all sort of juxt— Like, they're using Trump to be like, man, remember this? Remember civility? Like, with our politicians? And I think, right, I guess comparatively, but there's a lot of parallels

to like, you know, Bush pardoned a bunch of people from the Iran-Contra thing so he wouldn't get in trouble. And was a major aspect of the war on drugs cracking down so much harder and like kind of had the FBI entrap a 19-year-old into selling crack near the White House so he could claim that you could buy crack near the White House, even though they had to go all the way to the other side of the city. Right. And give the kid directions because he didn't know how to get to, he didn't know what the White House was really. He said, oh, I think his exact sentence was like,

oh, is that where Carter lives or something? Not Carter, Reagan. Right. So he was like, he didn't know anything about politics. They brought him there so they could be like, you can even buy crack in the shade of the White House. So that's pretty messed up. I mean, at the same time,

having a outwardly respectable president is, I feel like I was underrating it up to about two years ago. Like, was he a race baiting asshole at times? Of course. He was also the head of the cia uh at a time that america was doing dirt but he had the common decency to pretend not to be racist or evil in his day-to-day behavior thus sending the signal to whites across america racism bad yeah and i think we don't uh That is an important thing.

Yeah. Yeah. Just keep that shit inside. Yeah. Nobody wants it. Well, and just like for all the bad things he did, he was never someone we were like, oh, this guy might just flip out and start dropping nukes. Like nobody worried about.

Well, the one thing he did have a good head was foreign policy from being in the CIA. He was a stable personality. He did things I don't agree with, but he was clearly not a madman. He was a guy who made really morally questionable decisions, but not like, nobody was worried that George W. Bush was a lunatic. Right. H.W. H.W. Even with W, like, I never thought he was going to drop the nukes. No, he's just a stooge. He was just a dummy. Well, yeah, I mean, again, you know, he wasn't much for the Civil Rights Act of 64 when he was running for a congressional seat in Texas. And we all know the Willie Horton ad kicking off. We love old dog whistle racism,

you know, caping for Clarence Thomas, a lot of parallels, I think really with Donald Trump in certain aspects. But yeah, I think, yeah, there was a,

there, I guess that civility, I guess, but I think, I think we'd look away from like his terrible record when it comes to like the AIDS epidemic. Oh, god, yeah. Things like that. 140,000, 50,000 Americans died under his –

And one of his big innovations was banning people with AIDS from entering the country. Right. Which further stigmatized the disease. I don't like him, but I agree. I think rather than calling it civility, it's what Jack said is really good, which is just like he didn't send overt signals to be racist. And that's a thing. That's a thing now, apparently. It's because like the current administration does all the other shady stuff that H.W. would have done and also does that. So like, yeah, I get that.

There was some balance. It's like John McCain I have a lot of issues with, but he didn't like torture. And it was better when there was a Republican being like, torture's bad. Right, right. And others not. And that, like, yeah. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of my Cultura podcast network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. And we're back. One last thing about the president is that the Senate and specifically Senate Republicans have decided he's 100% full

of shit when it comes to the murder of Khashoggi. Who's full of shit? The president. Oh, yeah. Oh, for sure. And Mohammed bin Salman. Yeah, they're all, yeah. Yes. Oh, for sure. So the CIA briefed the Senate and told them what everyone has seemed to know all along, that MBS ordered the murder of Hishogji. The CIA did some spy shit, presumably, because they know that there was WhatsApp messages exchanged between MBS and head assassinator, the lead of the assassination team, around both before and after the murder.

So he was kind of in the know when that was going on. And even told MBS's right hand, he's like, tell your boss he's dead. Yeah. I think was one of the messages, basically. Which is just bad writing. Yeah. Yeah. If I could offer some punch up writing for your WhatsApp messages, MBS.

God, what a sinister job for a comedian. Yeah. Well, yeah. I think his last week, right? Mike Pompeo and General Mattis went up there and basically

threw what was left of their credibility into the dumpster fire and were like, I think Pompeo said, oh, well, there's no direct reporting that could link this.

Mattis said there's no smoking gun, quote unquote. And then you have people like Lindsey Graham coming out and he's like, there might not be a smoking gun

because there's a smoking saw. And you're like, whoa, Lindsey, is that you? Is that you? A little bitchy. Yeah, well, you know, he's got his limits. Also, a smoking saw, it's whatever. How would you get a saw to smoke? I mean, whatever.

If you aren't properly lubricating it while trying to chop something, the friction will cause the right material to smoke. He was a stonecutter. Yes, I'm sorry. Jamie, the thing you have to understand. Here we go. Jesus Christ. Sauce-splaining with Jamie.

I hate myself. Sauce-splaining. Yeah, so the other thing is that the CIA was supposed to brief the Senate last week and the White House specifically stopped that from happening. Yeah. And it finally happened today. Yeah. And even, you know, I'm surprised that they found their backbone on this one. Because there's another thing, even Bob Corker, I mean, look, we know now that he doesn't have to face any kind of election.

He's just saying whatever. But like a journalist asked him, he said, after hearing from Haspel today, this is him asking Bob Corker, Haspel today and Mattis Pompeo last week, was there a difference in the message or the determination that MBS was responsible for the Khashoggi murder? Pause. Corker. Difference between darkness and sunshine?

Bam, ba-bam, bam. Yeah, there you go. Wow, thank you for that one. So, I mean, we'll see if that'll affect anything. Exactly. One point for a Senate Republican. Yeah. I want to talk about Laura Loomer.

This broke after we recorded at the end of last week. After she claimed that Representative- ilan omar's entire religion was oppressive towards women and gays and jews she got banned from twitter uh and that pissed her off because she's a far-right activist and they're supposed to you know jack dorsey's supposed to be looking out for them uh so he usually is she began arguing the letter of the law she was like everything i said was 100 true which it isn't but even if she could like claim that in some technical sense it was true in the context she was saying it twitter can do whatever the fuck they want dude like this you're not it's a private company yeah it's a private company they

you post at their discretion as we've annoyingly found out with our own Jamie Loftus. Right. But, you know, it works the other way. And if you're evil and they successfully read the intent of your hate speech, yeah, you don't get to just throw a, you know, just flip out. So her first response was to claim that the president was going to uh intervene on her behalf yeah because you know he gets censorship that right the liberal media machines are against the right so he was like yeah he'll step in on my behalf because i'm i'm doing the right thing so i don't have to worry i mean that that was step one of this

just being like spinning out like a spoiled child in a toy store who hasn't gotten what she wanted so claiming the president my daddy's gonna come that that didn't work and then so she went to Twitter's offices in New York City and handcuffed herself to one of the doors she didn't want to create a fire hazard so only one of the doors. She didn't want to create a fire hazard, so only one of the doors. And then threw away the key. And Twitter decided not to press charges. They were like, fine.

When the cops showed up, they were like, do you want to press charges? We can remove them. They're like, no, let her rock. Let's see if she's built for this. And also, the one thing was wild that she had a sort of Star of David from Nazi Germany it for this uh and also the one thing was wild that she had like a sort of star of david from like you know like the holocaust germany era like sewed onto her shirt was really doing a lot

yeah in her demonstration i mean it's attacking where you're weak is the the thing that the conservatives have just like it's just second nature to them that's what they always do so if you're a nazi you claim to be a victim of nazis right like that's just how just if you're a racist you claim to be a victim of reverse racism yes it's a good i mean i i get the very elementary logic behind that but it doesn't hold up after two seconds i thought that y'all would learn you know from the multiple times that i've been here that y'all are looking at this all wrong okay and y'all are not looking at the sacrifice that she made you understand how much shit she could have been doing that day and then she chose her own you know prerogative aside to so she could chain herself to the twitter building i don't know

man if ariana grande did it y'all be cheering her on y'all be so happy i'll be so proud but y'all want to disrespect this woman for exercising her right well the best part was when she was like you know and i'll pee myself if i have to but then she wasn't willing to actually back that up yeah she was like after like an hour she was like all right this is boring i don't want to do it anymore well it just shows you how shallow her thinking was like how short-sighted it was. Like, well, I'll do this and people will gather and I'll make this point.

And then she's like, wait, but if I threw away the key and I'm really supposed to pretend that I'm about this demonstration, then I would have to urinate on myself. Wait, where am I getting food? Wait, what about these other things? And then, yeah, eventually it was just like, why are people being mean to me?

Come on, get out of here. And a cop was like, like ah you seem like a nice white girl there's other social medias out there for you he literally said that oh he really said nice white girl no no no but he said there's other medias out there there's other medias out there hun it's just funny that he was like talking to her like ah you'll you'll catch the next one there's a funny pic of like this nypPD cop, white guy just looking at her, doing the quintessential sarcastic New Yorker smile. Like, all right.

Yeah, nice try there. Gotta get out of here. All right, guys. The thank you next video. I know it's all, Robert, that you've been talking about for the past couple days. I can't get enough. Yeah. Pete enough. Yeah. Pete Davidson.

Yeah, he's not in it. But the video references him. It's a very well-executed video for a very catchy song from the most famous person on earth with a very specific demographic, the sorts of people who would watch a video premiere online. Right.

So this was unsurprisingly an enormous hit. When it premiered at a certain point, 829,000 people were viewing the video at the same time on YouTube, which is pretty insane because YouTube is a pretty huge site and it managed to cause lag time on YouTube. It was like too much for Google. Yeah. Yeah. So the way that this has kind of filtered down to people who aren't Ariana Grande is

that yesterday there were a couple stories breaking about Pete Davidson claiming to be bullied. And it did make me realize what a uniquely shitty position the video kind of puts him in because it sort of casually dismisses his role in her life as just, you know, like one step among many. Like he's put in a list of four different ex-boyfriends. She also reveals in the video that she broke up with him because her burn book says, sorry, I dipped.

It has his face scratched out and puts him in just an unremarkable third position in a succession of four X's. Who's number one? Big Sean. Oh, God. She says she thought she'd end up with, and in the Burn book, the thing she writes about him is could still get it. So that's got to hurt a little bit.

If you're Pete Davidson, you're trying to get over this breakup. Yeah, the guy's like, I'd still fuck this one, though. Right. I don't understand what sorry I dipped means. Sorry I had you dip out on you. I dipped out. I abandoned you. I left you.

Prior to this, people were wondering, who left who? Who dumped who? And she kind of put it out there. Right. And it just sucks, too, because he doesn't have nearly the same kind of cachet she does. So immediately, everyone's like, oh, Pete Davidson's whack then. Right. Which I think probably led him to write about how like, man, so many people are like telling

me to kill myself and shit. Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty messed up. Like you can't, maybe you can't do something like that anymore. Like it's not like. What, tell somebody to kill themselves online in a comment? No, I mean, you can do that.

And in fact, it's very popular. Kids love it these days. It's never been more popular. Yeah. No, but like back in the like musicians have always written songs about their past relationships or in the case of eric clapton about just some lady who wanted to get with who was his friend's wife like that's that's just the way that music works but like something like this you're putting a specific person on blast and targeting them

right even if that's not your goal you know what crazy people on the internet do like it's kind of a messed up thing like it'd be one thing if this was like someone on her level of fame then i guess it would just be like one more beef between two famous people but you're like bringing a mob down on a guy i think with her fan base though it's gonna happen either way because like they're so dedicated so if it's like well we're ariana always right you know are they where do they rank on on the beehive being like? Hey, don't get me involved in that. I don't want them coming for me.

Being the most dedicated and talented fan group. I think the beehive is probably the most scary organized mob on the internet. The scariest, but Ariana Grande is up there, right? I mean, she's got fans. I mean, it's a testament to their fanaticism when people like Pete Davidson are like, man, it's really sucked going through this breakup publicly. Yeah. I mean, he's just gone through a really public breakup with someone he thought he was going to marry

who's more famous than him. And also, this is on the heels of a very public battle with mental illness and he's also in recovery it's just like a really i don't know really uniquely shitty position that she's put him in pretty rough to drop this song when he's in recovery too well you know this is what happens when uh you know celebrities get with each other and they're petty young people too. And I'm sure he'll be fine. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's what he said too. He was like, you know, I'll be fine.

He's like, but I just felt like people needed to know that this isn't like the most fun shit for me. Yeah. The incident that finally made him ask people to stop was a waiter put the song on in the restaurant he was eating in and then started filming him. Oh my God. Oh, so they did that for the gram?

It wasn't even a quint? Like, he was set up? Yeah, he was set up. That's gross. Yeah. That's really gross. I don't like that. Oh, the internet.

Look what it does to people, man. I know, man. Just so you can get that viral tweet, basically. Right. See? Okay, so, like, in terms of laws that we do need that I would support, there should be a government bureau that's just a couple of guys, guys and ladies, who walk around. When someone does something like that for the gram, it's really shitty, just hit them once right in the jaw.

Not enough to do serious damage, nothing permanent, just like a person who walks up and says, you know, such and such, you did wham! Boom. And then you're done. Whammo! Maybe you gram it. Maybe you gram it too. Maybe there's a government gram and you monetize it to pay for health care right right yeah and when is your meeting with the department of justice again my my screams have not been returned damn it so let's talk about uh the president's hotels

yeah because apparently they are very popular with tourists from a specific nation yes which one saudi arabia oh i was gonna guess that one yeah interesting believe it well yeah i mean i think popular with tourists from a specific nation. Yes. Which one? Saudi Arabia. Oh, I was going to guess that one. Yeah. Interesting. Believe it. Well, yeah. I mean, I think we all know money is the key to this man's clogged heart.

So, yeah, the Saudis, I think, realize this, how one dimensional he is, like trying to get basically putting an arms deal on the table to sort of leverage that for other things. But Mohammed bin Salman has been really helping out the ailing Trump Hotel in New York City. Apparently, like after two years of decline at the Manhattan Hotel, the Trump International, revenue from room rentals went up 13 percent in the first three months of 2018. Huh. What caused that? A last minute visit to New York by the crown prince of Saudi Arabia.

Wow. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Wow. But of course, Mohammed bin Salman will not be caught dead at a Trump hotel. That's where all his like underlings and entourage stayed. Oh, really? Yeah. Come on now.

Yeah. I mean, Mohammed bin Salman. If anyone even stayed there, if they didn't just rent it out to give him money. Yeah. MBS actually has money. Yeah. So he's like a Trump hotel. The few people that Trump will say nice things about are the people he's jealous of.

Right. And the people he wants to have their life like. He couldn't bring himself to say a negative thing about it because he's jealous of him because he wants to be him. Right. He's like, well, maybe he'll let me in my club or we can touch that globe again. I want to be in on that high five. Yeah. Oh, man, his hungry eyes when he saw Putin in M five. Yeah. Oh, man.

His hungry eyes when he saw Putin in MPS. Yeah. Aw. Yeah. He's looking at that being like, dream weeper. Oh. I wish one world leader had done that thing on Instagram where it zooms in and flames shoot out everywhere while it was happening right there. Or dramatic super zoom. Come on, Merkel.

Just throw up a dramatic super zoom. I don't know if I'm one of your VIP friends, but I follow the story. Yeah, get your story games up. But also, MBS has also been, well, not him directly, but the Saudi lobbying arm has been also very, very nice to the D.C. hotel, the Trump D.C. hotel also. So like all coincidences everywhere. the Trump DC hotel also. So like all- Coincidences everywhere. Yeah.

Within a month of Trump's election, the lobbyists who represent the Saudis, they paid for what they estimate around 500 nights in just three months at that hotel. Booked it for 500 nights. Maybe they're making a sequel to that Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Zooey Deschanel movie,

which is gonna be 500 nights of winter. 500 nights of screams uh well yeah but the the wild thing was the reason though is even more absurd so what they did was it was part of a quote-unquote lobbying effort uh where they were offering u.s military veterans like an all expense paid trip to washington dc so they would lobby uh against a law that the Saudis opposed. So the Saudis were paying for U.S. military veterans to come to D.C. And then the U.S. military veterans were just suddenly having Saudi Arabia in their best interest?

Well, the thing is, they didn't know that the Saudis were paying for it. So what happened was they found a few veterans to like organize other ones and just be like, hey, we should come by. We're going to just, one of the emails said, quote, storm the hill to talk about this law to keep soldiers safe. You know what that law was? It was the law that allows victims

and families of victims of terrorism to sue countries that sponsor terrorism. God, who sponsored terrorism? Oh God, I mean, well, let's look at the 9-11 hijackers board here 2001 yeah yeah 15 uh so yeah 15 out of the 19 hijackers were saudis so i think that is the big reason that they do not want that law to pass well the crazy thing i think it's just a bunch of coincidences i mean it just i don't see the law where the line is drawn yeah like well what i

mean what are they gonna do but it's like if you put up a bulletin board, you know how there's all those conspiracy theory bulletin boards? Yours would be three photos with one piece of string going straight across three photos. And you'd be like, I don't know. I think I might have solved it. There's no way it's this simple. There's no way it's this simple. They're hiding in plain sight. And in plain sight.

Ooh. Well, the whole thing, too, is they were going with the most tired talking points. Like, they'd go to Chuck Grassley's office. And, like, Chuck Grassley's, like, aides were like, this hasn't even been, like, we haven't publicly discussed this yet. But, okay. And they're like, yeah, we just feel like it's going to put the soldiers at risk. And then, like, other people on the Hill began to be like, are you the guys that were bribed to come in here? Like, it was such a farce to the actual politicians they were lobbying that it was so transparent.

The irony was most of them didn't know that that's who was paying cut in the checks for their little trip. They're just two middlemen away, so they just think they're getting a trip. Can you imagine it's like your country sponsors the people who kick off the thing that give you the pretext for this massive war that takes millions of lives.

A war in the wrong place yeah I imagine these are people who like probably presumably fought in those wars to come back and then are now lobbying on behalf of it's such a mind fuck Trump is the best for veterans I was reading about it on his twitter yeah he just gets them

he gets the sacrifice and the willingness to just give up your life for the betterment. Although last week he did tweet something. He's like, why are we paying so much in defense? Right. It's like, what? That was like one of the things you were patting yourself on the back before.

There's not money for school lunches because you wanted to do that. Right. And then suddenly you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I didn't. Okay. I don't know. I don't know where I am day to day. All right. We're going to take another quick break. We'll be right back.

Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and

of course, lucha libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this. Lucha libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment. Lucha libre is a type of storytelling. It's a dance. It's tradition. It's tradition. It's culture.

Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of My Cultura Podcast Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. And we're back. And Miles, scientists are working on a way to determine what the most influential film director and actor are. And their methodology is, it confused the hell out of me,

but their results seem pretty spot on. Yeah, because they're using rather than like box office numbers and reviews, which are too subjective. They're trying to use complex networks. So like really analyzing the data and using a film as a node and any connections to other films sort of increases its like value to, I guess, film in general. So like as an influence on other films. Yeah, exactly. Or if it's referenced.

So as these, so it's a group of Italian scientists and they're using like a similar methodology that they use to sort of like track the impact of like, like scientific studies. Right. So they're just applying this now to films. And so as they say, they say, we propose an alternative method to box office takings and reviews for analyzing the success of a film. We have developed an algorithm that uses references between movies as a measure for success and which can also be used to evaluate the career of directors, actors, and actresses by considering their participation in top scoring movies. Okay. So based on that-

That's actually also how Google works. Right. That is. They were basically just trying to classify different academic papers on an algorithmic network as a graduate project and eventually invented Google. Right. Well, thank you. See, that's so much savior in origin story than Facebook. I know, right?

It was just Mark Zuckerberg was creeping on ladies in his class. Right. So when you look at it, first of all, none of these, when they go to the top 20 films, none of the films were released before or after 1977,

which, and they even acknowledge the bias that A, it's biased towards Western films because they're using a lot of the data that they got from IMDB. Sure. And so, and also that it's definitely more male-biased, and that also there's a bias towards older films, because they've been around longer,

and henceforth can have more influence on the movies we see now. So it's really a better tale of which movies from the 60s and 70s were most... Yeah, I mean, exactly. It goes all the way back to the beginning. That's still neat. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, and I think, yeah, if you look at... I mean, I think if you went off box office

and like with inflation, I think Gone with the Wind would be the top film or whatever. Gone with the Wind, that would not be a surprise. But it doesn't even, it's not in the top 10. So the top 10 from number one to 10 is Wizard of Oz, Star Wars Episode IV, Psycho, King Kong, 2001, Metropolis, Citizen Kane, Birth of a Nation, Frankenstein, and Snow White. That actually makes sense. Yeah. Yeah.

Because those are all like you've seen those quoted so frequently throughout your life. Right. Whether it's in a Looney Tunes cartoon or in another film. Right. That it's just become like a part of the filmic language. Yeah. It's their cultural wallpaper. Right.

Yeah. And so, yeah, when they did the same process through directors, they found that like the most influential director was, who was the guy who directed Gone with the Wind? George Cukor or something? Yeah. And then Victor Fleming and Alfred Hitchcock. And then so they're saying like, oh, well, if Cukoo and Fleming, they probably got there because of Gone with the Wind. And then other people that were credited for like with The Wizard of Oz. Like so they basically were like, hold on, we got to figure this out because this isn't quite the best way to do it for directors.

So then they created a different metric for directors and actors, which is a little more interesting. So they did more of a what they call a metal ranking system like the Olympics. So you get a gold point for each film that reached the top 5% of influence in the year. It was released a silver if it was the 5-10% and a bronze if it was in the 10-25% ranking. So with that in mind, the top three directors

in order, number one goes to Hitchcock, Spielberg, then Brian De Palma. Yeah. Brian De Palma. I mean, I guess he has the kind of movies that people have the posters up in their rooms. Right. Scarface and The Untouchables, despite being like, it was a hit movie, and it wasn't that well received by critics.

But that quote from Battleship Potemkin of the baby carriage going down the stairs of the train station has been in just everything. Oh, the naked gun one is my favorite. Right, the Naked Gun one is great, but everybody references that. The most racist one, they had the fucking gardener chasing after his lawnmower going down the stairs. Jesus Christ. That didn't age well.

I mean, he also directed Snake Eyes with Nicolas Cage. I'm sure that had a factor. I'm sure. I think that's probably why he wound up in there. And then when you go to actors, it goes Samuel L. Jackson, Clint Eastwood, Tom Cruise. Okay.

Because we know Samuel L. Jackson is like one of the, if you count the movies, he's like the highest grossing actor of all time when you look at the films he's been in. Yeah, he's been really smart about how he's...

He was in three fucking Star Wars movies. Yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right. And then when you go to actresses, Lois Maxwell, who played Moneypenny in the early James Bond films. Oh, of course. Carrie Fisher and Maureen O'Sullivan.

That all, wait, which one, what was Maureen O'Sullivan in? I don't know. Yeah, Carrie Fisher makes sense. What with the Star Wars of it all. And Blues Brothers. Maureen O'Sullivan from Hannah and Her Sisters or Tarzan. Tarzan, okay. I guess so.

She must have done like a golden age. I don't know. I'm horribly ignorant when it comes to work. So I'm sure someone will let us know why she would be up there. How'd Nicolas Cage do? Nicolas Cage, I don't have the full list, but I'm sure he'd probably be just in the top, I don't know, actually. I'd be surprised if he wasn't in the top like 30 cause he's also not he's in films that do

on the box office but not necessarily ones that like are good you know what I mean I mean like The Rock you know like is like okay or like Gone in 60 Seconds or National Treasure shit like that are we shit talking The Rock here cause oh I did a Bechdel cast on it I mean look

The Rock is what it is. I can't imagine it did well on a Bechdel cast. You know what? It technically passed, and we had to change the rules because it was like the one time two women talked about each other. It was in reference to whether or not Jade, Sean Connery's daughter, felt safe talking to him when they met up at that park. So it was technically a conversation that had to do with a man.

So even though it was like, hey, are you okay? I was like, I think it passed. And we had a hard time being like, yeah, we can't let this thing pass. I think it's one of the seminal feminist works of our time. Alright, that's going to do it for this week's
