These are some of our favorite segments from this week, all edited together into one nonstop infotainment laughstravaganza. Yeah, so without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist chris yes please tell us something from your search history that is a little you know revealing about who you are okay well most of the time on my search history it's really just me looking for cold brew got me
Starting point is 00:02:39 like meme material so like like you could probably see me searching for things like crazy photo or 1970s keg party um but i figure i another thing i searched for and because last time the metal detecting and the magnet fishing was such a hit i figure i might as well tell you about a thing that i also search for a lot. Mud larking videos. What is that? What the fuck is mud larking? Okay, mud larking, it's in the same neighborhood as magnet fishing and metal detecting, except for mud larking, you don't even need any equipment.
Starting point is 00:03:17 You just go, it's the Thames River in London. Oh, it's a British thing. And the Thames River has had cities on it, active cities all along it since 2,000 years ago. So there's 2,000 years of junk in that river. And when it's low tide in London, and I guess they mudlark all along it, but mostly London, they go down on the mud and look around and find stuff. And there's one woman named Nicola White Mudlark. Is that her channel name?
Starting point is 00:03:48 And she is like the sex symbol of the mudlarking. Whoa. Wow. She's like, I mean, but the thing is, there's nobody else. I mean, she's by default the hottest. I mean, she's the hottest, but she definitely thinks she's sexy from her pictures. Nicola Mudlark? Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:04:03 Does she have an online presence? I don't think so, but her name's Nicola White Mudlark. And what I love about going on this show also is I hope I'm driving traffic to these weirdos. Oh, you are for sure. I'm looking her up right now. Nicola White Mudlark, she also goes by Tideline Art because she sometimes makes fish and stuff out of stuff she finds, like glass. And she finds old pipes mainly, like clay pipes, like in the 19th century, 18th century, 17th century, 16th century, mostly.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Okay, we get it. 15th century. Keep going, keep going, keep going. I have a nervous breakdown. He won't stop. He was good last time. 14th and 13th, 12th, 11th, not 10th. No, they didn't have tobacco in Europe until like, it was like 16th century when it started
Starting point is 00:04:48 or something. And they, so everybody smoked clay pipes and they threw them away. Yeah. Like after one use. Like these really pretty nice clay pipes. So there are, I mean, you got to figure four centuries of like- The banks of the Thames are riddled. Drunk people, all the bars were by the river.
Starting point is 00:05:03 So like the river is just pretty much has an endless supply of clay pipes. That's the one thing isn't. Go ahead. Oh, no. I was going to say before. I remember you talking about people who like check the rivers and like where people river raft. And you were really bummed out that they were just pulling up shit like cell phones. Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:18 And I remember. So this to you is more of a satisfying find, even if it's a little clay pipe, because you just like a little bit of history. I was about to say, Nicola is a little heavy on the clay pipes for me. There are certain other mudlarkers that she seems to only have eyes for clay pipes. She finds them, and she never gets tired of finding them, and she does a sort of, and this is not a joke. Oh, she tweeted one the other day. She does kind of a flirty somewhat sexual thing
Starting point is 00:05:48 with pipe extraction. She's like, ooh, a pipe extraction. She's like, let's see how much pipe is on. It just might be a bowl but let's see how much stem is left and she pulls it out
Starting point is 00:05:58 kind of slow out of the mud. It's a long one. I don't like that. I just, I don't want any flirty. You like it to the point, hi, this is a clay pipe next. I want to see the stuff. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:06 I just like the idea that she's so focused on pipes. Like in one of the videos, she may have just been overlooking like an actual like relic. Like it's like, that looks like King Arthur's sword. And it's like, but this pipe, do you see this pipe? Let's see if there's something inside. Inside. I think she's, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:21 she's a, she's a, she's an attractive lady. I, I cross-checked it. She's a, she's a pretty lady. She's found her niche. I think she's an attractive lady. I cross-checked it. She's a pretty lady. She's found her niche. I'm kind of in love with her. Extracting shit from her. Oh, let's hook you up. If I met her, I would be starstruck.
Starting point is 00:06:34 First of all, I would be starstruck because I've seen her on a screen. Right. Anybody you see on a screen automatically you're starstruck by. So I've seen her a lot. Even if it's on your cell phone in the subway. I would totally, yeah, I would freak out if I saw her. And yes, I am somewhat interested in Nicola. So maybe if there's like a VidCon or something in the UK
Starting point is 00:06:54 and she's going to be there, we should try and, you know. I'll tell you what, she's got kind of a consistent, it looks like she wears the same outfit a lot. She does. She's got a mudlarking outfit. What is her outfit? She's got, she wears, Chris, correct me if I'm wrong, but she wears a white long-sleeved shirt with black stripes on it a lot.
Starting point is 00:07:12 And it seems to be like her- She has, like, stripes. Yeah, tight jeans. And she, like, poses sometimes pretty suggestively next to her fines. There you go. Yeah, she does pose with the fines. She's always wearing galoshes. So, you know, like, she's at work, but she came and did fish. Those galoshes are
Starting point is 00:07:26 flirty and she knows it. She's at work, but she is ready to work. Anyway, so I have a crush on her. I don't have a crush on, I'll tell you who I don't have a crush on is her friend Chill Bill, who is also a mudlarker. I can't deal with him at all.
Starting point is 00:07:42 He finds good shit. He actually has good eyes and he finds shit better than pipes. But I'd rather watch Nicola find a pipe than Chill Bill find a damn chalice. What's Chill Bill's vibe? He's just a freak. Like, yeah, he's like the dark side of, you know, not everybody who mudlarks and magnet fishes is charming, and Chill Bill is one of the ones that is not. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:08:02 Are Nicola and Chill Bill friends? And his name's Chill Bill, which I can't deal with. Do Chill Bill and Nikola know each other? Yes, they hang out sometimes. Oh, no collab. Weird. When they get in videos together, I don't like it. But then again, Chill Bill will find an amulet while they regroup
Starting point is 00:08:21 and Nikola's always like, I found nine pipes. He's like, I found an old Gutenberg Bible, I think. Exactly. So Chill Bill's got a good eye, but I can't deal with just, I don't like to look at him. His vibe isn't good. And then, you know, the pros and cons. Nicola, great pipe finds, a little too pipe-centric, and sometimes a little more suggestive than it has to be when you just find old pipes.
Starting point is 00:08:41 Yeah. Hey, but look, get it how you live, guys. Everyone's building their brand, man. Exactly. I want to write a fan letter. Because that's incredible. I want to write a fan letter to old pipes. Yeah. Hey, but look, get it how you live, guys. Everyone's building their brand, man. Exactly. I want to write a fan letter. Chris, that's incredible. I want to write a fan letter to Nicola. You should.
Starting point is 00:08:49 This is a great movie. But I'm not the only one. There's no way. She must have so many fan letters. Write her an album. She's definitely the hottest person in the mudlarking, magnet fishing, metal detecting world. Chris, write her a song.
Starting point is 00:09:01 That's how she's going to remember you. A song where she finds me in the mud. Yes, dude. Just an old a song. That's how she's going to remember you. A song where she finds me in the mud. Yes, dude. Just an old clay pipe. You're the greatest find of all. Is there a stem attached? I don't even know anymore. And we make a video, like a full video,
Starting point is 00:09:15 where I actually pull CGI, pulls me out of the mud. Perfect. And I'm wearing a Speedo and I start doing karate. All right, this is great. All right, let's talk about the millennial and Gen Z generation. I'm guessing specifically it's younger millennials and Gen Z because there is a trend where non and low alcohol beverages are selling more and more
Starting point is 00:09:40 and alcoholic beverages are selling less and less. Yeah, and there are a few studies out there, a few polls, just sort of trying to check the drinking habits of the generations, baby boomers, Gen Xers, millennials, Gen Z. And it says that respondents that were in their teens and early 20s were drinking over 20% less per capita than millennials who drank less than baby boomers and Gen Xers did at the same age. So it's just kind of like the trend. I wonder what the comparison is between Gen X and baby boomers and Gen Xers did at the same age. So it's just kind of like the trend. I wonder what the comparison is between Gen X and baby boomers.
Starting point is 00:10:08 It's probably, I'd imagine, maybe the same. Probably. Maybe a little less. Right. But yeah, I think so, you know, in this article, a lot of the things they were pointing to is that it's most likely social media because now all of these younger kids have grown up with, like, the all-seeing eye of Sauron of social media that, like,
Starting point is 00:10:24 records everything into eternity and want to spare themselves the embarrassment of doing anything too stupid. But we still have Instagram pages like drunk people doing stuff that you can laugh at. I grew up in an America where I thought I would be able to get at least as fucked up as my parents' generation. And now, no. Yeah, I do wonder how much of it is economics.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Maybe it's just because millennials are lazy. Right. And they can't be bothered to raise that glass to their mouth that many times. Exactly. With their dainty hands. The other thing you always hear about millennials and Gen Z is that their anxiety and social anxiety are rising. And another thing that's been coming out recently is that they don't have
Starting point is 00:11:06 as much sex as previous generation not me dude not right all this is way wrong they should have interviewed me then man uh but that's i mean there's your problem right there is if you want to do you think do you think it might be better access to better weed yeah that's another thing they do say it's like weed also has a part into it too like because i know like i don't drink anymore um and a lot of it is social media though because it's like i'm trying to be a professional comedian i don't need to be drunk tweeting right exactly you know so just doing stories where it's like a selfie video like what and then i try to get a job on like the Daily Show. And they're like, this is the guy you think is smart.
Starting point is 00:11:48 Let's check this Twitter. But yeah, because also like, you know, weed would maybe also account for less sex, man. People are just getting stoned and watching movies. They're not building as much. I don't know if it's a myth or true, but in high school you say like, dude, when you're high, your wang gets like 20% bigger. Like when you have an erection i'm pretty sure you just had a very crafty drug dealer yeah well i was the one selling it so i was like the one being like yo let's make your dick bigger someone else told me actually dude i
Starting point is 00:12:19 was my connect was like yo he's like it makes, just smoke before, bro. Makes it bigger. The one thing, though, I'm curious is, like, is that a hindrance for kids, right? Like, we didn't necessarily grow up, at least when I was, like, in high school and college, of, like, the threat, the existential threat of being caught on Snapchat or whatever. And I think I was carefree to an extent. I don't know if that weighs on people or if that's just sort of an accepted thing because we live in different times. But in my mind, I'm like, damn, I wonder if that like kind of fucks you up, though, too. And you always there's like this, you know, neighborhood community nanny state or surveillance state around you. There were definitely times when I would get fucked up and then look at pictures from that night and be like, oh, yeah, I look terrible.
Starting point is 00:13:01 My eyes are dead. And like if I was not the only person commenting on those pictures, then yeah, I could imagine that would have been a little extra incentive to... I also wonder though, because I think, I feel like our parents, my parents' generation and stuff, it was still a deal where you just kind of, you go through the motions of life, right? Where you graduate high school, so then you go to college, and then you meet a girl, if you're a man, you meet a partner in college,
Starting point is 00:13:28 then you get married, then you start a family and then you work. And like all these things are things that people are just sort of doing and maybe don't necessarily like it, but they're doing it and alcohol kind of helps you cope with this. Push through that pattern. And I think younger people are maybe searching for a deeper meaning in life. Yeah. And so are maybe more like,
Starting point is 00:13:44 well, if I am a freelancer, I don't necessarily need to drink the pain away because I'm not clocking into a factory job that I hate to raise a family that I didn't necessarily want. Right. So less compartmentalizing and more just being aware. Yeah. I think we're more likely to like, you know, drink drink some La Croix's and eat a little Molly and be like, what do you think our lives could be if we dream hard enough? Right, right, right. How chill would it be to be a travel influencer? Yeah. And as you referenced when you were talking about your search history, Kenny, I feel like boredom is like alcohol and sex are sometimes
Starting point is 00:14:22 the solution to just boredom, just not having anything to do. And I think now that we have so much more, like we don't mind waiting in lines because we're never, we never have to be bored. And I'm sure that has something to do with it too. It's just like, there are healthier ways to pass the time than getting blacked out. Yeah. And maybe like access to porn at a younger age is messing up our sex drives,
Starting point is 00:14:43 you know? Cause if you've been beating off since you were a teenager to the craziest things you've ever seen. like access to porn at a younger age is messing up our sex drives, you know? Oh, absolutely. That's another theory for sure. If you've been beating off since you were a teenager to the craziest things you've ever seen, and then you go to have sex for the first time, and it's just like missionary, and you're done in 20 seconds. Yeah, this isn't as cool as...
Starting point is 00:14:56 Yeah, this sucks. Hey, can I bring my laptop in here? There's your solution. Well, let's move on to something that lacy can get to really sink teeth into yeah uh because i just read a headline that basically let me just read this headline from daily beast because it explains it all right there uc santa cruz student sold drugs through mobile gaming app fed say now you you wonder what what are we talking about here well colin howard who's 18 year old freshman at UC Santa Cruz,
Starting point is 00:15:27 he's been indicted by a federal grand jury for, quote, distribution and possession with intent to distribute cocaine and methamphetamine. And the way it happened was that the investigators, the prosecutors, alleged that last fall he had developed a game, a mobile gaming app called Banana Plug. And if you know anything about UC Santa Cruz, Sammy the Banana Slug is a school's mascot. Or if you remember Pulp Fiction, I think it was John Travolta's character was wearing a UC Santa Cruz Banana Slug sweater. Anyway, that's how I first remembered. Anyway, that's not necessary. It's not here now.
Starting point is 00:15:59 It's good context. On the app, the way it worked is it would prompt users to change all the tiles, basically, to move around like one of those puzzle tile games where you had to rearrange it to make the thing. Yeah. And when you put them all into electrical plugs, you could win a game. And it advertised things like Molly and Shrooms or whatever. And it invited the users to make special requests.
Starting point is 00:16:21 So he was slapping posters all around campus. Like, use this app. And it was a way for basically people to communicate with him on what they wanted in a very clever way. Let me just say. What is this man's name? His name is Colin Howard. Colin Howard. Shout out to a king. Shout out to a king.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Let me tell you something about Colin that I really fuck with. Colin cornered his market. He He said I'm selling uppers I'm selling you know psychedelics People who love video games They love to be up all night They love a sensation You know they do And so he made something
Starting point is 00:17:00 First of all use such ingenuity He should be in Silicon Valley Because where else is apps and and drugs gonna make such a beautiful marriage other than silicon yeah well the problem is if he's convicted on these charges oh no he is looking at multiple decades in prison and my man's college yeah and up to 10 million dollars let's get his gofundme started for his legal representation i mean look it's so funny because it's one of those things where it's like, of course, younger
Starting point is 00:17:28 people now are getting even cleverer, more clever about how they're trying to go about their shadiness, and they're like, dude, I designed a fucking game. It's still, I think as of Tuesday or Wednesday, it was still in the app store for people to use. It was in the app store. He got it on the
Starting point is 00:17:44 Apple, not even fucking Android. His drug dealing app was Now let me just say this. Now, remember that Stanford swimmer that they let off the fucking hook after being a grisly, gross, nasty motherfucker? This is who you should let off the hook because Colin
Starting point is 00:17:59 has gifts for the world. He should be put in an MBA program free of charge. Free of charge and let him develop his skills so that he can bless us all with his talents. And you put these other nasty motherfuckers away. Can we at least use
Starting point is 00:18:16 whiteness right? I'm assuming Colin's white. I'm hoping. Because then he may get off. If there's anybody who I want to get privileged it's Colin. Please. I mean look Because then he may get off. If there's anybody who I want to get privileged, it's Colin. Please. I mean, look, shout out to the banana app. Have you checked?
Starting point is 00:18:29 Is it out there? The banana app? I don't know. Banana plug, dude. Oh, yeah. He's a white teenager. And we know that plug is another term for drug. The plug is the person who gets the drug.
Starting point is 00:18:41 Yes, thank you. Plug walk. Oh, yeah. Please tell people. If you're not familiar with the plug. Yeah. person who gets the drugs. Yes, thank you. Please tell people if you're not familiar with the plug. Yeah, so the word the plug

Starting point is 00:19:01 Good mortgage refi. Okay Colin got a Cro-Magnum forehead, and that's making me worry about him a little bit. He might be a murderer. He does have a resting murderer face. Can I see? He has a resting murderer face. He does.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Do you have a LaCroix sticker on your laptop? Listen. Wow, God bless you. And some prayer hands. Yes, Jerry. I really leveled up. Hold on. I'm just going to google and research Colin Howard drugs

Starting point is 00:19:51 Wow see and like that We 180'd Jamie Yeah I think it's time for An Ariana Grande update Because this is a story That intersects directly
Starting point is 00:20:00 With your brand This is Yeah this one This one This story was sent to me approximately 900 fucking times last week. So I figure I'll just, you know, everyone thinks it's their fucking idea. Anyways, there's Ariana Grande Zamboni news, technically a few news cycles ago, but someone unearthed this sports column from 1998 in Boca Raton.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Is that how you say that? Yeah. That is a five-year-old Ariana Grande. Wait, hold on. How else would you have said it? You really put me on the spot. No, I'm just curious. I said, I was a, I was a Baca Raton.
Starting point is 00:20:36 Okay. Yeah, you guessed right. Baca right on. Baca right on. I was like, Boca Raton. I just like that you were like, that's it, right? I love that. Yeah. I just like to know what's in people's'm so sophisticated. That's it, right?
Starting point is 00:20:46 I just like to know what's in people's minds. Okay, so they found this old news clip. So the Baccaraton. The Macarena. I'm so happy for Baccaraton. Basically, it's a story about Ariana Grande when she's five years old. She's on a Zamboni. It's a spectacular picture. But the story attached to it is interesting
Starting point is 00:21:05 where it basically says that Ariana Grande, she used to go to a lot of hockey games with her parents when she was young, and she got hit by two hockey pucks in a year. Like this five-year-old girl, she's just a little puck magnet. Where was she sitting that
Starting point is 00:21:22 a puck hit her? She grew up rich. I'm sure they had great seats. But there's still glass even on the boards. You gotta get good seats to get hit by a puck that much. That's puck privilege. Didn't an announcer have a puck fly by his face recently? Yeah. So she was in announcer
Starting point is 00:21:37 seats. She was in good seats. But she did get hit by hockey pucks twice in a year, which is a rough start. I mean, you think 2018 was rough for her? She like hit by hockey pucks twice in a year, which is a rough start. I mean, you think 2018 was rough for her? She got hit by hockey pucks in 1997. Same shit, right. But there's a, yeah, there's like a quote from her dad that's like, what are the odds of this happening?
Starting point is 00:21:57 It's so crazy that my daughter keeps getting hit by hockey pucks. Is that him like trying to, he's signaling that there may be a lawsuit? He is just, no, I guess they were bought off pretty easy. They were just like, yeah, throw her in the Zamboni and we're cool, which is a great problem solving thing, I think. Oh, so because she was a two-time puck victim. They were like, okay, let's get you on the ice.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Right, before your parents get litigious. Wow. It's great, yeah. I think that they were just like, let's not upset the rich parents. Let's put the cute kid on the Zamboni and hope for the best. And it worked. And she's a star. Good for you.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Getting hit by hockey pucks means that you got that anointment from God. I've been shit on by a lot of birds. I want to know what that means. Yes. When was the last time you were shit on by a bird? I've been hit by a baseball. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Anyways, guys. That's what reminded me of Simon Birch. Did you just take a frozen rope straight to the dome or what? No, there was a minor, minor league team. It was the team that you would go to before the minor leagues. It was called the Brockton Rocks. Okay. And it cost like $2 to go.
Starting point is 00:23:01 The Brockton Rocks? The Brockton Rocks. Yeah, the Boca Ratox. The Boca Rocks. But we would go because it cost $2 to go so we went to rocks the brockton rock the yeah the boca retox but we would go because it cost two dollars to go and i was i i no matter where i sat i get fucking hit by a baseball by the minor minor league wow saul boost because you're special wait you remember the player who yeah i'll put him on blast i'm snitching on everyone today like saul boost does fucking bean me in the head with a, but I was fine. Okay, well, good.

Starting point is 00:26:09 We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This summer, the nation watched
Starting point is 00:26:32 as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always
Starting point is 00:27:02 felt like Lynette was kind of this right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. Let's get into some actual pressing news. Sure. Because Taco Bell. Yes. Everything that's pressing for me starts with the sentence Taco Bell. Of course.
Starting point is 00:27:43 They have announced a new menu item. And we were talking last week, or actually the beginning of this week, about the great French fry debate and how Taco Bell's fries were ranked as a contender for a good, on the decent end of the fry spectrum. So they've kicked it up a notch and they have released steak rattlesnake fries. Fuck. I'm excited. Now, let me tell you what it is now.
Starting point is 00:28:05 They're fries. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. With cheese sauce. Sorry. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Steak jalapenos and creamy jalapeno sauce, which seems a little redundant to have cheese sauce, jalapenos, and then a creamy jalapeno sauce. Well, let's be easy on it. Well, the cheese sauce is very rigid and solid is the issue. It's just more of a slap. It does change forms pretty quickly. Yeah. That's true. It starts as a liquid and quickly becomes a solid. It does. It's just more of a slap. It does change forms pretty quickly. That's true. It starts as a
Starting point is 00:28:26 liquid and quickly becomes a solid. It does. It turns into like caulk. Construction caulk. You hit the shit out of that L and I respect you for it. I had to because people were going to be like, caulk? Really? I know. Caulk. Immature. Yeah, so I mean they were test marketed or tested in the Columbus, Ohio
Starting point is 00:28:41 area and now, hey, Friday. Hello. February 28th, hello, for a limited time only, they're going to have them. And I think we're going to have to try them because, yo, I love Taco Bell fries. I like that this was advertised as they are, quote, once again challenging the fry paradigm. Yeah, which is from their email.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Fuck you, dad. I was like, holy shit. Yeah, that's me when I say something that my mom would disagree. I'm like, once again, challenging the Jill paradigm. Right. This brave, new, disgusting food I'm going to eat. I'm sure that email that had the challenging the Fry paradigm line in it began with, they said it couldn't be done.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Nay, they said it shouldn't be done. I present to you rattlesnake fries. And it also comes in a burrito form. Well, they just wrap that shit up in a tortilla. I like that. Less mess. Interesting. Oh, yeah, because cheese fries, you have to eat with a fork.
Starting point is 00:29:37 You have to. Your fingers are just R.I.P. We'll be stained. Yeah, P.O.D. I am a little concerned about the steak. Scrape bands. I'm sorry, what? I am a little concerned about the steak. Scrape bands. I'm sorry, what? I am a little concerned about the steak, but I'm always kind of concerned about the steak at Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:29:51 Yeah. I don't, you know, I would be fine with just the, whatever that crumbled meat substance is that's in like a soft taco. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever the mystery, like the mystery meat, my system is fully capable of digesting. The steak, it's like, are we doing a lot? Can I get my fries medium rare, please?
Starting point is 00:30:10 Medium rare fries. And what cut of meat is that? Is it a rib eye? It's poo-poo. It's the poo-poo part of the- It's the poo-poo cut. Well, thank you so much for clarifying that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:22 No problem. I am an official representative of Taco Bell. It's actually poo-poo. Oh, bless you. And I want to talk just very quickly about a new device that I saw on the internet that I'm not sure we need, but maybe we do. And it's called the peanut butter pump. Oh, I thought you were going for some freaky shit. This is freaky to me.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Okay. Okay, because I realize now that like peanut allergies are really out of control. Yeah. And I'm not sure why. I'm sure there is a study. I haven't bothered to look into why that is because like one of the first baseball stadiums like in Connecticut
Starting point is 00:30:58 it's like a minor league ball field. They completely banned peanuts or anything to do with peanuts from the stadium. Whoa. Which to me like baseball seems like a sport. If you have a peanut allergy, you just avoid because it's so peanut laden. Everything's about peanuts.
Starting point is 00:31:11 It's in the songs. There's a peanut guy at every stadium that has a unique way of calling out for peanuts. You get scissored by the planters guy every time you go to a baseball game. Yeah. That is one way to put it. Yes. You do. But so this peanut pump.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Now I will like peanut. Yes, peanut. Goodness pump. Buy so this peanut pump, now I will like, yes, peanut, goodness pump. Buy me some tofu and cracker jacks. Exactly. It's just like a pump that you just attach to the top of your Skippy jar and you just push it out and ooze it on. Now, I kind of do like the idea because in one way it makes applying peanut to a slice of bread a little bit easier. And you're not using knives. And also, if your wrist is fucked up or something,
Starting point is 00:31:48 and you don't have the strength to get it out the jar on your own, this could be good for you. I mean, I don't see anything. The first thing I thought of when I saw it was like, oh, this would be great for cafeterias, but I guess cafeterias aren't really serving peanut butter, right? I felt like, well, back in my day, it just used to be a big-ass thing with a loose knife next to it. And you would just do it DIY style, have a big tub of peanut butter, right? I felt like, well, back in my day, it just used to be a big ass thing with a loose knife
Starting point is 00:32:06 next to it. Yeah. And you would just do it DIY style, have like a big tub of peanut butter. This is more sanitary. Yeah. And also- More efficient. You can do it faster.
Starting point is 00:32:13 Exactly. So anyway, they were raising money on Indiegogo for like, they want a 20K. They already like smashed that goal. No way. Yeah. For 25 bucks, it could be yours. They're already like 44 or 45,000 or something like that. Holy shit. But they want to let you know from their FAQ, yes, it could be yours. They're already like $44,000 or $45,000 or something like that. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:32:25 But they want to let you know from their FAQ, yes, it works on crunchy peanut butter. Yes, it works on other nut butters or, quote, similar products. Gross. A full pump currently dispenses one and a half tablespoons. Hey. Though that is subject to change in the final design. Yes, it works with most standard jars. No, the pump is not recommended for natural peanut butters with oil separation wow again look of course not if you got if you have an allergy though you don't
Starting point is 00:32:49 want to have peanut stuff spread all over the knives and shit i guess you could put it in like you could use it for nutella you could use it yeah hey there we go now we're thinking couple questions make it trendy one question is you're gonna have to push down so fucking hard on that thing that you're that shit doesn't push down so fucking hard on that thing. That shit doesn't go, peanut butter doesn't go through a tube unless it's some kind of loose peanut butter. Like it's warm. I've never heard of it. I think it has to be roomed.
Starting point is 00:33:12 What are they talking about? I think that's part of probably what the design is. Because could you imagine if they were so short-sighted? Like, just take the thing from like fucking ketchup at a Costco and put that on. Oh, yeah. They probably just want the Indiegogo money. And what do they have to do with that? Do they have to give everybody who gave them money a pump or something?
Starting point is 00:33:29 That's all? So they got a lot of money. They can just use some ketchup pumps. They can give everybody a ketchup pump and say good luck. Okay. The cold brew is really hitting now. It's a conspiracy. I don't think it's a conspiracy.
Starting point is 00:33:42 It's making me excited about doing some kind of scam like that myself. Right. Just like a thing you can't deliver on. Like a thing that already exists, like a pump that you have in a ketchup thing that you can sell to people for $50,000 or whatever. Maybe not, but I just don't understand how you- It's a type of crowdfunding, baby. Yeah. How do you-
Starting point is 00:33:57 Hey, there's, you know, politicians are doing it. Peanut butter fans are doing it. It's the way of the future. Yeah, just doing, yeah, bunk Indiegogo campaigns. politicians are doing it peanut butter fans are doing it it's the way of the future yeah just doing yeah bunk indiegogo campaign i just think it's i have to find it hard to believe that you're gonna be able to pump peanut butter through a tube like that okay well you know what we'll have to maybe someone will buy us one and we can do a test with you this will be a developing story and that'll inspire your next bunk product the condom remover ever tried to get a condom remover. Ever tried to get a condom off? Well, with my handy tool, you're like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:34:26 Had the same condom on for months and months. It's a pair of tongs. It's just a guy like, I don't know how to get it off. I keep putting new ones on top. Is that okay? Is that safe? I has nine kids. Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Guys, let's talk about the fry ranking controversy that has swept our very nation so the LA Times released a matrix that basically ranked all the fries on a continuum of the two axes are better texture better taste and McDonald's is in the upper right hand corner in terms of having a good taste, good texture. I think Five Guys is probably the highest ranking. Five Guys is ranked number one, then McDonald's, then Del Taco, then Steak and Shake, Arby's, Carl's Jr., Dairy Queen, Wendy's, Shake Shack, and the top group. I don't know, man. I like Five Guys.
Starting point is 00:35:22 I get it. The seasoning's good. They use real potatoes. It feels like a real – it almost feels like it's a restaurant fry rather than a fast food French fry. McDonald's, I think, is great, but I think there are—I'm just sort of disappointed that there's some omissions on here. This is arguably the worst reporting that LA Times has ever done, and that's saying something. Thanks, LA Times. What really grinds your gears
Starting point is 00:35:46 about this fry ranking oh man i mean i love steak and shake you know that was my high school hangout there was a steak and shake we always go to i love that place their fries are the worst part of the place come on now okay soggy shoestring fries they're super thin right they're super thin yeah and they have the crinkle cut here. Yeah. Oh, no, that's Shake Shack. No, that's Shake Shack. Shake Shacks are way better. I mean, this matrix is all over the place.
Starting point is 00:36:14 The waffle fries at Chick-fil-A are considered to be bad taste and bad texture, according to this. And I just don't know how you can even say that. Well, the one thing I will say is I typically, when I have those waffle fries, I have to eat them with Chick-fil-A sauce. I'll never just be like, you know what? I can just bare, like dry eat these fries.
Starting point is 00:36:32 That's a good point, dude. I do always dip it in sweet and sour sauce. I always have to dip those fries. And I think maybe that's, in that place at first, I was like, no, that's impossible. But then when I really thought back, does it stand on its own if I just eat it like that? Probably not. That's a good point. I mean, McDonald's impossible. But then when I really thought back, does it stand on its own if I just eat it like that? Probably not.
Starting point is 00:36:45 That's a good point. I mean, McDonald's is like the standard. It's like the American standard, I think, for fries, right? Yeah, especially if you get them a little extra crispy. Yeah. But one thing is that In-N-Out is at the very bottom. Now, some people are like, yeah, of course, it's the worst fucking fry. That's you doing an impression of me, by the way.
Starting point is 00:37:00 No, that's Super Producer Nick Stumpf was also in the same boat, where he thought In-N-Out was shit fries. I like that impression, man. Yeah, In-N-Out sucks. These In-N-Out fries, man, are pretty bad. Is that what it is, though? No, that's Nick. Oh, okay. Doing pretend
Starting point is 00:37:19 Baltimore, Maryland area. But anyway, no, I think with In-N-Out, I get why some people don't like it. I don't know if it's the worst. I think Burger King is the absolute garbage, trash, French fries. I can't believe it's still open. Burger King in general as a concept? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:34 I mean, like, I've never been with someone that earnestly suggested we go to Burger King. I couldn't tell you the last time I ate it. And I have friends that are like, oh, McDonald's, we got to go. Taco Bell. I have friends that every time they say Taco Bell, they got to gotta go i don't know anyone that's like that with burger king it is true like yeah independently there aren't many people who go fuck yeah pull the fucking car over it's time to have it my way i mean if you really like the whopper i can understand that but yeah there's not that many people who will ride that hard for the like the whopper and their
Starting point is 00:38:03 chicken their long chicken sandwich are the two things that are like decent and they're classics on the menu but the fries, like everything else is so bad that like you wouldn't, like you can just get a half decent hamburger from McDonald's with the best fries Well also, you know you're in trouble as
Starting point is 00:38:20 like a fast food franchise when all your marketing is centered around tricking consumers into eating your shit and then showing them being surprised that it's good because that's like all the Burger King commercials
Starting point is 00:38:29 recently they're like they're blindfolded like oh this isn't bad and they're like Burger King? What? Yeah and it's like
Starting point is 00:38:34 please come back? Yeah dude there's a lot of that going I remember like Domino's had that ad where it was like hey our bad for everything
Starting point is 00:38:41 we've been doing for the last two decades and we were all like wait what were you doing before? Right. They're like it's better now. It's like yeah but what were you doing before? Right. They're like, it's better now. It's like, yeah, but what were you doing before? Oh, never mind.
Starting point is 00:38:48 Don't worry about that. Don't worry. Just, uh, there's seasoning on the crust now. So don't, don't, don't, just buy it. Except they were telling the truth. Domino's is way better now. But yeah. I wish, uh, Jack in the Box curly fries were the representative on this rather than regular
Starting point is 00:39:00 fries. Right. Oh, you mean for the Jack in the Box? Yeah. As their submission. Also, like if they're doing crinkle fries, like Raising Cane's, I know it's maybe not totally national, but their crinkle fries are off the fucking chain. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:13 It's also like crinkle cut are always better than shoestring, right? Yeah. Am I crazy? Because you get the same salty goodness, but then you get a little texture. Yeah, a little more surface area from the jagged edges. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. I still likedonald's even though they're shoestring but i yeah i do like a crinkle cut every now and again okay um the just the thrillist also released a list uh and they
Starting point is 00:39:37 so the places there is consensus is that uh in and out is the worst and that McDonald's is up there, but they actually had Arby's as the best fry on the list rankings. I mean, look, it's a curly fry. You know what I mean? Yeah. See? Yeah. As a comic who has spent a lot of time on the road eating whatever's at whatever exit,
Starting point is 00:40:01 I appreciate the effort that goes into an Arby's French fry. Yeah. You know, it makes me feel like I'm not just at some truck stop. Right. You know, they took the time to curl these fries. What's the effort that you feel? You know, they season the fry. There's like a seasoning there.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Right, but it's not that they're doing it. It just comes in that bag that they put in the basket. I know. This is what I tell you. This is what happens. You remind me of a back story where they're like, oh, just for Kenny. Yeah, they knew I was coming. They fired up the wood-fired grill.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Wood-fired deep fryer. Here comes Kenny. Throw another log on. All right, let's take another quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now.
Starting point is 00:40:49 The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state. And she paid
Starting point is 00:41:10 the ultimate price. Listen to Crooks everywhere on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. your podcasts. Hey, I'm Gianna Pradente. And I'm Jimei Jackson-Gadsden.

Starting point is 00:42:46 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out?
Starting point is 00:42:59 I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing. They're just dreams.
Starting point is 00:43:19 Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R.

The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And finally, Jezebel
Starting point is 00:44:37 just caught my attention with this one because their headline was just, Miley Cyrus is tripping. And I was like, uh-oh. Peak Jezebel headline. Yeah, like, what is goingpping. And I was like, uh-oh. Peak Jezebel headline. Yeah, like what is going on? And in it, they discuss this new Vanity Fair write-up that she's got, where she's got really interesting takes on just marriage, gender, sexuality. And, you know, like we all know, the J is on my feet songstress
Starting point is 00:44:58 is who I look to for just really sort of thoughtful analysis. The most correct take, of course. Yeah. So this is her take on marriage, the convention of marriage being old-fashioned. The reason that people get married sometimes can be old-fashioned, but I think the reason we got married,
Starting point is 00:45:14 she's talking about Hemsworth, isn't old-fashioned. I actually think it's kind of new age. We're redefining, to be fucking frank, what it looks like for someone that's a queer person, like myself, to be in a hetero relationship. A big part of my pride and my identity is being a queer person. Oh, hell yeah. I don't think they have so much to do with sexuality or gender. Sex is actually a small part, and gender is a very small, almost irrelevant part of relationships. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:45:52 There's some truths in there. She gets like 35% of what she's saying right. By accident, by the way. She's accidentally getting it right. It's so unclear how much she's getting right on purpose. I was completely baffled by this entire story. Whereas trying to
Starting point is 00:46:10 rewrite the narrative of straight like her straight marriage is actually pretty radical. You're just like, no it's not. I didn't realize she identified that she was queer. Is that new? When did she come out? No, I vaguely remember that being a story
Starting point is 00:46:27 like i think post bangers era my after mike will made it yeah she i mean she's i i don't know this relationship i don't know the specifics of that but being like my straight marriage is actually pretty queer is just like sure right sure well you know more power to you honey i don't know she has no she has no problem stealing stealing from cultures that aren't hers. So I never know what to believe what she says. Exactly, right? She's like, well, I tried the hip hop thing. I guess I can take from queer culture.
Starting point is 00:46:54 We'll see. Then this is her talking about somehow the way Jezebel describes it. It says, on getting married after her home burned down, in which she literally quotes Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign slogan. Now, there isn't any mention of the home burning down. So it's just funny to think of this as being completely out of context answer. So I mean, like, what was it like getting married after home burned down? And the answer would be like, yeah, without feeling like you're putting a bandaid on a bad situation and saying, oh, well, you know, now everything will be better because a lot of people use marriage, I think, maybe for a cure.
Starting point is 00:47:25 But like my favorite woman in the world, Hillary Clinton, says, we're stronger together. That'll make me get emotional. That's what she meant by it. Like, who gives a fuck if he's a guy, if I'm a girl, or if he was a woman? Who gives a fuck? We really are stronger together. One is the loneliest number.
Starting point is 00:47:42 I got the eye of the tiger. Whatever. Like, I don't know. Again, I'm still processing what that means. I view every Miley Cyrus news point, I view them all differently. Like, there was a story about when her house was burning down, there was a story about her horses that warmed my heart. And then two days later
Starting point is 00:48:08 she'll say something and be like, no, fuck her. And then it'll be like, but her horses. I don't know. But her horses. Who knows? More horse stuff. Less everything else. Less content. Less telling me how to live my life. And that's in general. In general. More horse content.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Less corrections. More horse content. He had more horse content and less self-congratulatory bullshit. So again, there's another part where there was like an essay section of the article. I guess I'll read that part too. If you're going to make me, I guess I will.
Starting point is 00:48:39 I'm going to do it because everything together just leads up to a great overall story. It says, being someone who takes such pride in individuality and freedom and being a proud member of the LGBTQ community, I've been inspired by redefining again what a relationship in this generation looks like. Sexuality and gender identity are completely separate from partnership. I wore a dress on my wedding day because I felt like it. I straightened my hair because I felt like it. But that doesn't make me become some instantly, quote, polite hetero lady, end quote, and then a parenthetical, P.S., straight women are badass too, end parenthetical.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Yes. My relationship is very special to me. It is my home. I feel less misplaced when we are in the same room, no matter where that is, but just because something changes in my relationship doesn't mean something has to drastically change in my individuality. What Liam and I went through together changed us. I'm not sure without losing Malibu,
Starting point is 00:49:27 we would have been ready to take this step or ever even gotten married. Who can say? But the timing felt right, and I go with my heart. Yeah, the second my house burns down, I'm getting married. Yeah. That's... To a horse.
Starting point is 00:49:40 Wait, didn't all your parents get married after the house burned down? Yeah, obviously. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it was what made them realize that they had to burned down? Yeah, obviously. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it was what made them realize that they had to get married. Right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the thing we don't talk about on this show. After we got all that insurance money because we burned down our own house.
Starting point is 00:49:52 How else are you going to pay for the marriage? Right. Right. And no, seriously, I mean, not to make light of the wildfires, which were horrible. Yes. But I'm like, if you get anything out of Miley Cyrus saying something like this, great. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Seems a little all over the place to me. It just sounds like a little bit like somebody who was in high school and hung out with college students for a weekend. Yeah. And then came back to their high school. I'm actually seeing things a whole new way. Yeah. And they're like, actually, gender is a construct, but then can't really go beyond that line. OK, Xander.
Starting point is 00:50:26 Calm down. and then but then can't really go beyond that like line okay xander you know calm down generally okay views but then can't handle a follow-up question to save their lives yeah i feel like there was just one question like the reporter was like hey how's your marriage and then she just spoke for 45 minutes right and then my favorite woman hillary clinton is like stronger that makes me emotional. Okay. Last line. She then talks about she's got new music coming out where she says, quote, there's psychedelic elements. There's pop elements. There's more hip hop leaning records.
Starting point is 00:50:56 You know, in the same way, I like to kind of just be genderless. I like feeling genreless. And then she then goes to say this. That's exactly the same. She goes on to say this, quote, every producer I'm working with on this new record is male. There's not a lot of female producer options for me, but it's fun to be the female
Starting point is 00:51:11 in the room that has the most say. Okay, Edge Lord. Hire some women. There are plenty of women producers. I fucking hate that. Well, there's none, but it's cool that I get to do
Starting point is 00:51:24 whatever I want. I mean, good for none, but like, it's cool that I get to do whatever I want. Like, I mean, good for you, but also hire women if you're like standing on this fucking soapbox about how good you are for women. Yeah, I, she could find a woman. Yeah, there are, I know so many women who are producers or musicians that you could work with. If you need some suggestions, suggestions, Miley, hit me up. Open up your DMs. We will send you recommendations. Yeah, I'm sure Lainey will send you probably a lot better work
Starting point is 00:51:49 than maybe some of the people you're working with now. Yeah, I mean, Miley, when was the last hit? You know, maybe fire some of those guys. Yeah, and then again, she does go on that she says she's, quote, challenging the system as much as anything else I've ever done. To have a female pop writer that says, all right, I'm only going to write all my own songs. I don't want to share lyrics
Starting point is 00:52:05 with anyone else. I just want to write what I feel. Sure. So, you know, challenge the system, Ma. Do your thing, Miley. What is something
Starting point is 00:52:13 you think is overrated? Dude, Ted Bundy. Ted Bundy. It was so overrated. I just watched the Bundy tapes. That guy gets painted as like a diabolical genius, man. It was really just the 70s and like
Starting point is 00:52:26 yes they basically begged him to kill those women i mean the whole the whole series he's not handcuffed even after he'd escaped from prison once and court once yeah the next time you see him in court he just got his hands free he's pacing around like am i gonna get a chance to speak it's like right dude you're you should be glad that you're not cuffed to a chair. This is insane. Yes. And then he literally was walking up to women going, can you help me load my boat? And they'd be like, yeah, I'm Ashley.
Starting point is 00:52:54 And he'd go, hi, I'm Ted. This guy is not a genius. He was introducing himself to people. They heard him. They had a police lineup. And then for some reason, they were like, nah, that's not the guy. Cops were really, really bad at solving crimes back in the day. It was crazy. That was Lacey's
Starting point is 00:53:10 take last week when she was just like, they didn't have technology. He was sloppy. Nothing genius about him. Dude, he broke out of jail and then they arrested him in Florida and he was like, I'm not going to tell you who I am. And they were like, this guy won't tell us who he is. Should we let him go? Alright, you got us. Now scram. Wow. We've never faced anything like this before.
Starting point is 00:53:31 Yeah. He like when he was escaping from prison, like he would break out of the prison and like explore the place, like the jail. He would like go into the there was like an apartment above. He would like go hang out there for a while and then go back into his cell. He was like practicing. Like that's how they were just like, duh. Well, he's back now. So yeah. Well, he comes back.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Don't worry. Yeah. Yeah. And they were like, he's so charming. It's like, no man. He's just, cause here's the thing. Everyone kept being like, he doesn't fit the profile of a killer. Maybe in the seventies, but now collegeated white man that feels rejected by women is the profile of the killer.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Yes. Every time. Right. Every time. I feel like it was just way, way too easy to be a white man for too long. And that's why we have the backlash that's going on right now in the country. And that's why you had Ted Bundy. Everyone was just like, well, all right.
Starting point is 00:54:24 Yeah. I guess I'll help him. I mean i mean he's not gonna tell us who he is i think immense privilege might be bad for your psychology yes it was all just like everybody was their own little absolute monarch and they just got to be as corrupt as they fucking wanted to tell the cops like i'm not telling you who i am right that's insane That detective's like, dear diary, today I met my match. All right. That's going to do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please like and review the show if you like the show. It means the world to Miles.
