Think of us as your work besties you can turn to for advice. And if we don't know the answer, we bring in people who do, like negotiation expert Maury Tahiripour. If you start thinking about negotiations as just a conversation, then I think it sort of eases us a little bit.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of the Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from this week, all edited together into one nonstop infotainment laughstravaganza. Yeah.

So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. Let's get into talking about our signs. Yeah. Let's get personal. So, Anna, you sent this in our thread, huh? Like the L.com article? Soup's producer, Anna Hosnia? Yes.

So she sent in our group thread. She was just like, there's this Elle.com thing that says, which scam are you according to your sign? Okay. And this just seems like stupid but fun because we like a scam here, and I am down with the astrology. Sorry? Oh, I guess it first came from a Lacey Mosley,

which brought it to Anna's attention, which then trickled its way to our text. I mean, when I clicked on it, I was surprised it wasn't written by Lacey. Yeah, exactly. And then her Venmo attached at the bottom. Because it is, which scam are you according to your sign? And I'll tell you behind this paywall. So let's start with you, Kim. What's your sign?

I am a Libra. You are a Libra, which would make you the Anna Delvey, a.k.a. Anna Sorokin. This scam has all the elements that would appeal to luxury-loving Libras. High fashion, fabulous friends, all the way down to the party girl herself, Anna, who is originally from Russia, tricked hotels, businesses, and friends out of at least $270,000 by posing as a German heiress. She's currently undergoing trial, where she faces up to 15 years in prison, but continues to amaze us with her style.

Okay. That's on brand. You're wearing a nice little frock today, or what do you call this thing? I don't even know the fucking words I'm using. I don't know. It's cute, it's nice, but really, I tricked you guys into thinking I'm talented,

and here I am. Wow, oh shit, yeah, damn. There you go, scam alert. Jack, you're Leo. I am. And that's, we'll leave it there. No, you are college admissions hoax. Wow.

Leos are the ultimate performers, and for them, all the world's a stage. Guilty as charged, guys. Not only were two high-profile actresses, Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman, caught at the center of this scam, they helped others act their way through the college admissions process. According to sources, the two helped celebrities' children. Okay, whatever. We get that. I mean, I'm just your stereotypical theater kid.

You know, just overly dramatic. We'll break into song every once in a while. No, I am like the anti-Leo Leo. Like, I don't really have the personality traits of a Leo like aren't Leo's like strong and domineering yeah and like very much like a look at me Leo the Leo just pulled up right are yeah and I usually crawl into room yeah so that people can't see me yeah right yeah and then just like kind of slowly you're kind of like Buster Bluth right exactly never seen neither seen nor heard yeah but the

college admissions hoax I mean yeah I could see myself getting pulled into that I don't think I would have thought of that but I could be I could see like is that we have your kids rowing right now yeah exactly no but like your love for it's basically exploiting your love for your child, and also a superficiality, which I guess I hope I don't have. That V-neck? See? Thank you. See, we're seeing the same thing. The V-neck is superficial.

Well, you know, you care. You definitely care. Fuck boy brand, man. You're trying to show off that C hair, that chest hair. And for me, Virgo, Frank Abagnagnale which i like this oh damn well of course i see why you wanted king god like no i didn't even look i just i literally just looked now uh the meticulous shadiness jesus christ just starting that undertaking by frank abagnale made infamous and catch me if you can is exactly the kind of scam that would excite detail-oriented

virgos frank was one of the first check forgers and reportedly passed two and a half million dollars of phony checks in every u.s state and 26 countries virgos are known for their ability to fly under the radar and fly under the radar they call miles did they call me the stealth bonger i'd be yeah thank you dj dan d DJ Dan, by the way, has been producing the podcast. And I'm not going to say that wasn't a war and a bomb drop because it was. But you'll notice the bomb drops are pretty. Aggressive. They're all over the place.

Last episode was pretty heavy. Yeah, well, he's a DJ. You know what I mean? Hit him with that air horn, that dance hall horn. See, that's his whole brain. Wait, was mine not as good then? Is he just throwing this stuff away? I don't know.

You know, I pay him on the side to give me more drops, so it's kind of an unspoken thing. And Anna, what's yours? You're Gemini. You're the Gemini. So that would make you the Russian trolls during the 2016 election. Gemini represents journalism, facts, and communication on the Russian fake social media ads. Okay, perfect storm of all these things. Good for you. See, we're just a bunch of scammers in here. Yeah, I'm trying to look at. Okay, perfect storm of all these things. Good for you.

See, we're just a bunch of scammers in here. Yeah, I'm trying to look at, like, which would be the worst one. I mean, probably college admissions scandal would be the worst one. Yeah, and it's like others, I guess catfishing isn't great, but at least, like, they're successful at what they do, whereas college admissions scandal just sucks. And for those interested, Aries is fire festival, Taurus is detox tea, Cancer is Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Dee Dee Blanchard,

Libra, we already did that one, Scorpio, Dr. John Meehan, a.k.a. Dirty John, Sagittarius, Nigerian Prince scam, Capricorn, Bernie Madoff, Aquarius, Theranos, that would have been kind of chill, Pisces, catfishing. Yeah, so it's interesting that you wanted to do this article that makes me the worst scam and you the Michael Jordan of scamming. It's interesting, Miles. I think it's fair.

And look, that's just my fucking shifty Virgo ways, bro. Walked right into my trap. Catch me if you can. Let's talk about what I think would be front page news if the media was not biased against UFO stories. But, all right. So we've talked before about these Navy videos that were released that showed a Tic Tac, like flying object that looked like a Tic Tac that was making all sorts of maneuvers in the air that seemed impossible. And you have, you know,

pilots in the background being like, that isn't possible. Wait, what's it doing now? And then it like just zips off and they're like, holy shit. Right. Moving in ways like our,

our current technology as we know it could not explain. So I'm just going to kick this latest article off with a straight read of the opening of this article, which is in some bullshit conspiracy rag called the Washington post. All right. So it opens up a recent uptick in sightings of unidentified flying objects, or as the military calls them, unexplained aerial phenomena prompted the Navy to draft formal procedures for

pilots to document encounters, a corrective measure that former officials say is long overdue. As first reported by Politico, these intrusions have been happening on a regular basis since 2014, so that's UFOs flying into military airspace. Recently, unidentified aircraft have entered military-designated airspace as often as multiple times per month. Joseph Gratisher, spokesperson for Office of the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Information Warfare, told the Washington Post on Wednesday. Citing safety and security concerns, Gratisher vowed to investigate each and every report. He said, we want to get to the bottom of this.

We need to determine who's doing it, where it's coming from, and what their intent is. We need to try to find ways to prevent it from happening again. Oh, man. Do you think this escalates to, yo, next time you see one of them shits, shoot it the fuck down? I think they probably would have already done that if the thing wasn't faster than our aircraft or any known aircraft. Right, and they're like, I can't get a heat signature on it because it's cold as ice and is moving in ways we don't know. I mean, I like to know that there are more of these things happening. I mean, it adds mystery to the universe.

I'm all about mystery. That makes the world more interesting. It's just they, like I always assumed they knew something and weren't telling us. And it seems like they were just too stodgy to acknowledge the thing that we all kept having little trace evidence of. They were just like, fine, I guess we'll acknowledge that there are these things that by the laws of physics as we know them don't make any sense. I just think aliens are getting really bad at voyeur porn. Yeah. Right.

Just a theme, sorry. They really are. They're just trying to flex on our airspace and I welcome our alien overlords with open arms. Or tentacles. I mean, they seem to be pissed off and thinking that it's something

being made by like other security, like forces or other countries. Right. Cause you don't want to just be like, yeah, man, we got to do something about these fucking aliens.

Cause you can't just jump to that conclusion. And I don't think the military mind is necessarily constructed to make room for aliens. Right. Like the whole thing is, you know, country versus country warfare, nation versus nation. More from the article, in some cases, pilots,

many of whom are engineers and academy graduates, claim to observe small spherical objects flying in formation. Others say they've seen white tic-tac-shaped vehicles. Aside from drones, all engines rely on burning fuel to generate power, but these vehicles all had no air intake no wind and no exhaust it's very mysterious and they still seem to exceed our aircraft and speed he said calling it a truly radical technology that's chris mellon by the way a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence and staffers um so he's these are official like these are official pentagon

dudes just being like yeah so ufos are real they're doing things that aren't physically possible we don't know what to tell you uh i would just love like i was telling you earlier that we're so behind in science that like other countries have just figured out new forms of propulsion and we're like i don't know the fucking aliens i think probably there's another way to explain this because we're number one forever yeah other dude who used to run the aatip which was the uh 22 million dollar advanced aerospace threat identification program uh which ran from 2007 to 2012 and used military technology and military personnel to investigate these things. So you're kind of hoping he has some insight and is like, well, we have theories that aren't as interesting as the theories you have or aren't as scary,

at least. Here's a quote from him. If I came to you and said, there are these things that fly over our country with impunity, defying the laws of physics, and within moments could deploy a nuclear device at will, that would be a matter of national security. And he just seems like this type of activity is very alarming and people are recognizing there are things in our aerospace that lie beyond our understanding. That's the dude who led.

Like this is fucking bonkers. And like it does seem like it should be front page news, but there's like a seriousness bias, I guess. So it's just like a thing that, I mean, it's even surprising that the Washington Post is acknowledging it. Right. that, I mean, it's even surprising that the Washington Post is acknowledging it. Right. I mean,

look, let's usher in the new era where we're like, yeah, man, we got these shits flying around. No one knows what they are and maybe we need to put some serious effort into understanding it or maybe

it's mass hallucinations. I don't know, guys. What's real anymore so they just got to clean off the windshield a little bit better right yeah that would be amazing those floaters that you see in your eye like when you look at the sky but somehow the cameras are seeing them too and so are the radar oh sorry i'm like very serious about this guy i'm like no shut up wrong no jokes asshole so the big kind of change that is being reported in this Washington Post article is that there's now an official way for naval personnel to report these things. And that will officially be on the record. And the Navy, you know, it raised a bunch of interest in those official reports.

And the Navy was quick to announce that there will be an open source database where anyone can log on and find out all the real time information there is to know about all of the sightings. Nope. Actually, they're announcing they won't be sharing any of that information with the public because fuck all of you. So even though they don't have a better explanation and have no idea what's going on,

they're just like, sorry, it's secret. Well, this is a good way to start it. If we can't track it, if we can't like break it down, at least we can have the reports and say, oh, this tic-tac and this tic-tac did this zigzag and went off that way. So we can build the data. Right. Like I'm not opposed to the belief of UFOs being aliens. Yeah. And I don't think the U.S. is so far backwards that we're so behind on technology that we can't.

No, I don't think so either. Yeah. It's just more for comedic effect, I think. Oh, of course. Yeah. No. We're backwards in a lot of ways. Yeah.

It would be like a thing Mike Judge would write in a script. That would be great. The future of America where like Americans are so confused by other techniques. It's aliens, man, and we're going to blow everything up. But yeah, like you were saying,

it seems like we should be using, like putting all of the information together, like all of the eyewitness accounts and, you know, have some X-Files out there. Maybe they do and we just don't know about them. Probably, but it's good to know that we have something started so we can learn from it slowly gradually and maybe get better in time i'm what

i'm gonna say is this is great marketing for tic tacs oh yeah i mean talk about the disney marketing people tic tac is fucking crushing it they should make alien tic tacs right limited edition and finally what is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? What's the deal with kettle corn? This shit sucks, right?

What is this, an open mic? No, I'm kidding. What's the deal with kettle? I mean, go on. I like where this is going. I mean, I feel like there's an... Oh, wedge salads. Who's ordering these?

Wedge salads are great. I love them. I've had a wedge salad. He said he's had a wedge salad, not ordering. Ordering one that you pay money for, though. Right, okay, I see what you're saying. In public, among other civilians. You do this?

I have done it, yes. How often? Not that often, but probably a few, maybe five times in my life. Like after winning something? Celebratory wedding. I like blue cheese and I like bacon, and the rest is just water. No, I mean, wedges is fine, but I would never be like, here's my hard-earned money. Make this for me.

So the myth is that a wedge salad is something of value? Yeah, or it should be illegal to charge more than $5 for a wedge salad. I mean, because all they did was cut the head of lettuce into a wedge. They're not even tossing the shit, and they throw it on. It's absurd. Which is funny, because I like the same reason as you jack i like the the accoutrement accoutrement of the all the components of the wedge salad but eating that shit with a fork and knife and like half the leaves are like have no fucking nothing on it i'm eating all what do you do you eat it

with a fork and knife too yeah yeah you have. You don't pick it up and bite it? No. That's amazing. Like an apple? Yeah. Yo, I like that. Like it's a fucking taco. If you're just eating it with a fork and knife,

I mean, at that point, just fucking... Right. Give up. What are you doing? Don't eat out. Just dipping it and just like grinding. Holy shit.

Yo, I like this. That's the wave. The myth is that you should be eating this shit with a fork and knife rather than just a fucking of a wedge of lettuce right i don't understand well because i that's what i figured it was a wedge form for because you don't you know i mean did you ever do this did you order a wedge salad in public and i've had i guess in public i've made it in private

yeah yeah you know we all have our dirty little secrets, but I have had wedge ingredients. I've never had a wedge salad, I guess, because you eat them with forks. I just thought you put the shit in it, you cut it open, bacon, blah. Like a little lettuce hot pocket. Yeah, yeah. Whoa.

But I didn't know. Hey, everybody, new Zeitgang challenge. Go to a fancy restaurant, order a wedge salad, eat that shit with your hands, and post a picture. Do it on a first date so people know you're like about your shit you know what i mean i mean that's first i go oh a man of class or a woman of class whoever's ordering it like yeah classy person over here person knows what they want and then boom yeah eating that shit like you know what you should do just do it like mid-conversation it's like yeah so i work in like accounts you know

unbearable and receivable and i just you know like i you know He's like, yeah. So I work in like accounts, you know, and receivable. And I just, you know, like I, you know, we do the reports every day and I thought we were going to split that. Yeah. Yeah. Here, let me take another bite. All right.

There you go. Get some of the tomato. Yeah. Because I feel like I could win an argument about why that's how you're supposed to eat it. Because it like, why would they put it, keep it all together?

Why would it be anything? Why, why else keep it intact as a head of lettuce um huh i like it i'm really oh yeah i want to now go to a fancy restaurant and eat it just to see the reaction of other patrons i don't think they would i think i mean they'd probably just be like man that guy's i would actually invite someone to say something like oh how, how the fuck do you eat it? Yeah. Just making eye contact with everybody around you while you take a eat. I just walk up to the maitre d', I'm like,

there's some shit on my table I need y'all to clean up. Come back. Do that long chew like a horse with your mouth. Yeah, there's no other way. That rotating jaw. Miles, you pointed out this morning that Otisville Prison in the Catskills Beautiful, beautiful town

Officially voted the cushiest prison of 2009 But it's really fallen off since then Really fallen off, yeah It's gone to the dogs Yeah I think San Quentin is now cushiest prison of 2019 Definitely up there Big swing

Is that still open? No Oh, okay, I no oh okay I don't know I don't know is it I just think of it as the st. Anger video oh that's the Johnny Cash one right yeah

st. St. Quinn still open yeah that's a prison is got some credits yeah yeah oh yeah yeah st. I'm pretty sure the

st. Anger video is there I don't know why yep st. Anger's yep yep yep yep yep okay anyway yo I got st. Quentin dude probably not I don't know why. Yep, St. Anger's. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Okay, anyway.

Yo, I got San Quentin, dude! Probably not. That's the only time I've ever heard of St. Quentin. That's not a St. Quint. Like, who is San Quentin? Yeah. Yeah, who is San Quentin? Yeah, he got a rough deal. The only thing named after him is San Quentin. Otis got a better deal because Otisville Prison, named

after him in the Catskills, is now home to Billy McFarlane, The Situation, and Michael Cohen. Just reported Monday. Pulled up to prison for his first day. And this is also the same place Martha Stewart went to prison. So we already know it's club fed. It's very cushy. One former inmate who has a, like, he served a 10-year sentence for racketeering Wall Street stuff. His name, Larry Levine.

He describes it as, quote, a Jewish heaven. Otisville has a commissary list online that includes a variety of kosher foods, from matzo ball soup to gefilte fish to the Jewish pastry rugelach. According to Reuters, the grounds feature amenities like a bocce ball court and tennis court. If inmates need spiritual advice, the prison employs a full-time rabbi, amongst other spiritual advisors. Inmates are given jobs like cleaning, which they are expected to perform for a few hours a day. But most of the time, they get to sit around and do whatever. For weekends home or commonly granted, there isn't even a barrier around the prison's perimeter.

Wait, weekends home? Yeah. Damn, I gotta fucking go to the prison perimeter. Wait, weekends home? Yeah. Damn, I got to fucking go to prison, man. Well, that's different. Well, you know, in this one article I was reading about this prison, they're also mentioning that, you know, in comparison, there was a woman in Florida who was meant to give birth unassisted in her cell because the guards were like, nah, nah, nah. We're not. You're being dramatic. Cut to her giving birth in there.

So, you know, there's a huge disparity in our prison system. We all know that. So I don't want to, you know, I don't want to gloss over how horrific the other prisons are. But, yeah, Otisville. I don't want to make light of it, but it would be really funny if, like, just one year or one time there was was this like horrid ass killer that they sent to this prison just to punk everybody like like 17 bodies just like yeah i don't know if they would let him they just like sent him into this atmosphere and he's like what the fuck it's like when the vikings my turn to use the bocce ball when the vikings came to like mainland europe

and they were like y'all just got all this gold in this church and there's no swords in here. Just these monks. Yeah, we're taking this. Yeah. I mean, honestly, like, and I don't know, but that doesn't sound that great. I mean, it sounds great, but like that, because I feel like in all those prison articles where they're like, it's just like white collar prison, it's club fed. They're always like, and then they have masseuses on staff and it's like, you know, they have like custom meals and it's like, oh, they just sell like kosher food

and like tennis. That's not like, you know. If I see that they have like California king beds or something, then yeah, we have some shit to talk about. Yeah, but I think it's their time lockdown is much less restrictive than other correctional facilities. But I guess that's because they see the nature of the crimes is how they treat people, so if you're doing

more violent shit, then they excuse treating people like, you know, animals. I was watching this Louis Thoreau documentary on Netflix about prison, and he went to the, speaking of the disparity in prison system, he went to this, like, prison in, like, fucking, like, suburban Miami, like, hood suburban Miami, you know?

And then it's just, like, 20 black dudes with dreads in a, like, like and then uh it's just like 20 black dudes of dreads in a like tiny cell and there's like seven beds and then they're basically just like yeah so like uh the procedure is when you uh when you get a process and you come in here uh you gotta like fight and and and uh if you don't want to fight then we just kick the shit out of you and then that's how you get a bed and i'm like oh wow oh, wow, I don't want to go to jail. I fucking never want to go to jail. That sounds horrible.

No, prison is absolutely, especially with the way just our prison system is set up, it is just, it's horrific. And again, the one thing I do when I look at the commissary list, because that's something that's interesting when you see what is available to the inmates from the commissary,

the amount of options they have at this prison, it's like, I mean, look, you can get all kinds of things in commissary at other prisons too, but they have like three kinds of canned tuna you can get. Wow. In case you don't like just regular and you're a geisha tuna kind of person. Right. So again, you know, there's levels to be. I've never been to a restaurant where they offer that,

where they're like you can have either this kind of canned tuna, this kind of that. Have you ever been to a restaurant where they offer that. Where they're like, you can have either this kind of canned tuna, this kind of that. Have you ever been to a restaurant where they got canned tuna? Well, yeah, but if you get a tuna melt, they don't offer different. What restaurant are you going to? Like a cartoon alley? For cats eating fish bones? And all you do is just squeeze the tuna. Squeeze the can and it shoots up into an arc and lands in my mouth.

Into your open gullet. Yeah. I mean, this is how a lot of countries do treat violent offenders. It do be like that sometimes. Yeah. And like some of those Scandinavian countries. Well, yeah. They have much better rates of recidivism.

Well, because Anders Breivik got like a PS2 and he was complaining about that. Right. He was? Well, I mean, that is pretty cruel and unusual. I'm not going to play anything good on that. Yeah, he's like, can't even play Last of Us. Playing Legend of Dragoon in 2019? Come on.

But yeah, we'll see. We'll see how he does in there. I mean, before Michael Cohen went in, he was like, there's more. I hope the whole truth comes out. It's like, well, you could have just said it right there, bro.

Yeah. Why are you using this? This ain't fucking lost. Like, what's all these cliffhangers? You're about to go away and fucking, by the time you're out, no one's

going to remember you. You just wait until Sawyer gets his deposition. Wait until others. Others. Yeah. Just stare meaningfully

at the camera after saying something big. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. You know, when you face intractable problems such as, you know,

how are we going to get from place to place without dying? Or, you know, mental health issues. There's one place that everybody turns and that is burger king yes uh we want to talk about their latest ad campaign whatever the fuck this is which so they've gone from you know dead eyed king mask just showing up and like kind of creeping everybody out and that works for like two decades yeah man that was like i still think those commercials are pretty funny. Meme Factory. People thought it was somewhat funny. It had its moments. And now they're like, okay, we got to get earnest because apparently that's what Gen Z is into.

I don't know. Some marketing. Probably the same marketing company that sold Pepsi that $30 million logo redesign got Burger King on a wave that is, I don't know, it's troubling. Yeah. So for Mental Health Awareness Month of May, they're trying to offer something different than the Happy Meal, man, because the Happy Meal, it's like, well, you're supposed to be happy all the time.

It's impossible, man. But the Happy Meal is McDonald's. Yes. So their answer is the real meal because we're representing the real experiences of human beings, of loneliness and things like this. So it's absurd. Well, one of them is like the Yas Meal. Yeah. So they have the –

That's not a real emotion I've ever felt. Right. So I guess for starters, they had this video that has like bizarre slam poetry up top of like a guy like in his bed, like all dark and sad. And then like a high school student. Let's just play a little clip of this. You can hear the audio of this commercial to understand how you're going to you're going to think this is fake. This is actually real. Not everybody wakes up happy.

Sometimes you feel sad, scared, crappy. Oh, yeah. All I ask is that you let me feel my way. This is cheesy. Feeling blue. Kind of down. Can't wait to leave this close-minded town. Can she like clear her throat? She's crying. My boss is such a freaking creep. I just told him to go f***ing south. Wait, that part didn't rhyme. Yeah, that part didn't rhyme. And then it's sort of like a montage of other people who are, you know, just going through stuff.

We can cut through stuff. I feel like they just wanted to play Limp Bizkit's Break Stuff. You know what I mean? That's what they were hoping to do. They had the same kind of beats to it. Right there. Sometimes you just want to.

Just one of those days. On top of this, right, they'll give you a little box that will just give you pretty standard things. This is a Whopper meal, essentially, but in a box, right, depending on what mood you're in. So the moods they're offering are the pissed meal. And if you're in the UK, that would mean something completely different. I mean, it means something different here, too. I don't know why they would choose that. I think Burger King is 99% consumed while pissed in the UK, I'm sure.

Salty meal, the yass meal, and the don't give a fuck meal, the DGAF meal. So, okay, yass, don't give a fuck, salty, and the don't give a fuck meal to dgaf meal so okay yas don't give a fuck salty and uh the pissed meal yeah and so those are the only like there's no like do they think yas is like a is bad or like everything else i think that's a positive but it's weird but the that the graphic the main graphic is no one is happy all the time but Right. But then it's like, so I guess. But if you are. Yas. Yas.

Yas. In their press release, our writer Jay McNabb pointed out, Burger King states that they, quote, understand that no one is happy all the time. So they're offering the real meal. So that implies that they think that the happy meal is McDonald's indicating that people are happy all the time? Yeah, they're saying. Also, do they think the Happy Meal is for anyone but children? I know. I don't.

They're like, you're like six-year-olds. Like, I want a Happy Meal. I want the Moana toast. I was like, fuck that. We're going to Burger King. You guys are like, don't give a fuck meal. As a parent, I'd be like, if my kid was like, I want the pissed meal. I'd be like, what the fuck, Burger King?

Where'd you hear that? Yeah. Like my kid's going to eat just like chicken nuggets. Their understanding of Mental Health Awareness Month is that it's a rejection of anything happy or like related to happiness. They're like, nah, fuck that, man. Yeah. We're all sad.

It's very one dimensional. Some like 11 year old like, yeah, can I get the misplaced childhood trauma? Right. Like, oh, oh, yeah, I guess we do have that one. They have replaced have it your way with feel your way. I mean, what are some better options they could offer than don't give a fuck, yes or salty? I think like existential dilemma yeah like right let's get more specific the dysthymia meal you know what i mean what uh you know like on we back back yeah

on we chicken bucket i don't know wait what's dysthymia dysthymia is like mild ever-present depression got it yeah like from dasein from High Digger? Sure, man. Okay. Yeah, definitely. Wow, look at it. Uh-oh. Welcome to Philosophy Dick Measuring Contest, the podcast.

I just never heard that before. Jack's old cracked engineering is like, all right, the nine types of meal you feel. He's a philosopher. JM was also pointing out that foods high in fat and sugar such as the burger king menu can directly increase the risk of depression so this is them you know doing the opposite i guess of putting their money where their mouth is they're just giving people some sort of mental health coding and then feeding them food that will actually harm their mental health but it's like but the awareness is to obscure or confuse people about mental,

like what mental health is. And just being like, mental health means, you know, like, do you know fucking sad people? You know how you're like pissed sometimes? Yeah. Or it's like, you know, people like this from our commercial that are like, let me feel crappy. We get it. Burger King, dude. Support those people.

Like that's not, That's not raising awareness. It's funny because I feel like whenever people in the mainstream media refer to mental health, it's always depression. And no one's ever looking out for the manic dude that's like, I'm God, I can fuck anybody. Right, right, right. Like, where's that meal for that guy? The manic meal.

Yeah, I don't see that. The manic meal is just like a pack of condoms and a screwdriver. It's like, run away! I don't see that. The manic meal is just like a pack of condoms and a screwdriver. It's like, run away! Yeah, I think we do have a very narrow view of what the spectrum of all kinds of mental, yeah, what our mental health looks like. I'm sad today.

That's just all mental health. Or this other one was like, were they trying to say that a person who lives in a town that may have some kind of toxic culture means they have mental health problems? Or it's the experience of being in that environment what that does to your mental see that's where it's like not clear enough of how they're trying to present this to it is a gray area like you could a lot of times you could be like i have situational depression where something bad happens and that situation makes me depressed it's like yeah that's... And see, and if that's the version where you're actually trying to put people onto the nuances of mental health,

then that just seems like an odd place for Burger King to step in. It's also very funny to me because I know there's a lot of Burger Kings in very backwards areas. So I imagine there's some small town Burger King and the person who this commercial is for is like, yeah, can I get...

I'm not kind of feeling... Can I get to just don't give a fuck meal? And then the person's this commercial is for is like, yeah, can I get like, yeah, I'm not, I'm not kind of feeling, can I get to just like, don't give a fuck meal. And then like the person's behind the counter is like, great. You know? Right. Right. It's like, all right. Lame. Right.

Yeah. You look like you could use that. The place to seek an accepting shoulder to cry on and like a fully aware person is at your local burger. Yeah. Yeah. Probably not. Yeah. to cry on and like a fully aware person is at your local burger yeah yeah probably not yeah unless you think that we're siding with mcdonald's here in 2013 mcdonald's had to apologize for a print ad uh that was basically a parody of mental illness ads featuring a helpline that was actually just a mcdonald's customer satisfaction line and says, you're not alone with a woman crying and her hands. And it says millions of people love the big man.

That fucking rules. I love that actually. That is like, cause it looks like hearing into the spiral. If I was on the verge of killing myself and I called some line and it was like big max for 99, a combo, I'd be like,

you know what? That's, that's pretty good. AAR, you got me. They got me. You know what? I can't go out like that. But the whole design aesthetic of the ad looks like one of those posters you have

in a high school counselor's office too. That's exactly what it is. You look at it like, oh my God, what is this? Oh, McDonald's? No, that particular stock photo has been used in many a guidance counselor wall poster, for sure. ING also did something where they were basically claiming somebody was suffering from RSP, which was just some made-up problem they could solve,

but they shot it like a pharmaceutical ad for depression, like with the blue tone. What is something you think is overrated? I think airplanes are overrated. Okay. Yeah. Well, you prefer buses, train travel? Just full stop, move on. Just that.

I just think they're overrated. Okay. Why? Because you chose trains? I think I know. You don't have an alternative? I don't yet. You tried an alternative.

The train is nice if everything slowed down. But we were the youngest people on the train by 20 years. Okay. You took a train from what, L.A. to Colorado? Mm-hmm. Trinidad, Colorado. It looked like... It was beautiful.

It was really cool, yeah. It was beautiful. I could imagine there might be stretches of time that would feel a little boring. It's fine because you can get up and move, but it's just so time-consuming. If you're trying to do stuff, it's terrible. Oh, right. It's also kind of expensive. How many days journey is it?

24 hours. Wow. Which is about six hours where I was like all right i'm ready to right it's just were you traveling with your three-month-old no god no no no babes on a train my friend did get offered cocaine on the train dude train cane yeah and i just looked at him as like do not yeah right this ain't the place you want to start blowing up. Nope. We are in a small cabin together. When you are drinking, I am not. Right.

This is, man, you do not need to be amped up. Hey, man, can I workshop some material with you real quick? I'm going to go jump. Hey, hey, hey, hey. You think I can jump? I'm going to jump train to train. I'm going to jump. I'm going to get on the top.

You should do that. You have that podcast recording stuff? I'm going to just do a podcast right now with somebody. There's not many people we ran into. That's what also I keep thinking about. I was like, we probably saw six people, and one of those dudes offered my friend cocaine. Wow. You got one in six chance on Amtrak for a little train cane.

What's also funny is he looked right at me first and then walked by me and then went to my buddy. He's like, nope. I was proud of that. Because you have like a stoic warrior's look to it. I also kind of look like a cop, so it was a hell of a gamble to be like, that guy's a cop, but hey you, you want coke? Hey you

crazy hair. Hey cop, out of the way. I gotta offer this guy coke. Yeah, this guy looks like he needs some Coke. Right. This guy with the bootleg Bart Simpson tank top on looks like he knows what's up. Oh, man. I was like, what is anything ever? So we're basically advocating for teleportation or some other jet pack, something besides

plane travel. Bullet train. Bullet train. Oh, it seems like that's- Yeah, man. plane travel bullet train bullet train seems like yeah man or like you know living in western europe they have better train systems uh than we have over here and you just like can go anywhere and it's not like terrible and it's beautiful so i don't know man it's yeah i wish trains were better here in in these united states i feel like it makes me lean toward the driverless car if you had the

time though to do like a long-winded train thing i can see how that would be enjoyable but it's it's more that you're doing it for the experience rather than using it as a mode of transportation without a doubt it was i knew going in and i did i wasn't like freaking out i was just i noticed about you know five hours until the destination until we got there that's when i was like i'm tired of this yeah right but i didn't like freak out or anything but because i knew because i was like this is one time i'm ever gonna do this right that's how the coke dealers get you they're like all right five five hours to go man you know better make my rounds you want to make five hours fly my man it was like was like nighttime, too, where you're like, we can go sleep.

We have a bed. This is great. Also, don't come in here all blowed up, man, farting up our sleeping box. So funny. Bar car and the Coke car. Well, and also breakfast was from 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., and then they were done. Yeah. Oh, like boom.

No more breakfast. You had to get donuts or whatever from the cafe. And I was like,., and then they were done. Yeah. Oh, like. Like, no more breakfast. You had to go get, like, donuts or whatever from the cafe. And I was like, what? And they were like, it's packed. I was like, oh, because old people just wake up. Yeah. It's somewhere between, like, on a plane or, like, in an airport, they have, they know they have you captive.

And so they're just, they fuck with you. But, like, on a train, it's, like, somewhere in between. They're like, we try to make this somewhat amen amenable but it's not like you're out there like but you're we will tell you to fuck off if you try and get some breakfast at 801 we live on a train this is ours this is there was one lady yes there was one server lady and she had this voice yeah where the whole time i was like where are you smoking at? Right, right. How? How?

How and where on this train are you smoking? In between the cars. But it was her dining car, and she owned that shit. Right. Fuck yeah. And I respected her. Or blimps. We really gave up on blimps after the Hindenburg.

Let's give that shit a try again. All right, let's talk about Zillow real quick. Yeah. I love Zillow. You love Zillow? Yeah, i get their email updates every day at various points in my life i've been addicted to zillow uh zillow is very interesting to just track every house's like value around you and but it turns out like somewhat they're doing some things that suggest they have their eyes on a bigger prize. Yeah. Because right now we have so many apps, right? It's all about ease. Book a vacation within five minutes, all from your phone. Best price guaranteed. Buy or sell a car in 20 minutes.

Get a home loan in eight seconds. Shit like that. And slowly we've made these processes much easier, which is great on some level. But there are companies like Opendoor which want to make the process of selling your house very easy where it's like put your shit on our app. We can try and get you an offer within four days or whatever. Cut the real estate agents out or whatever. Just do it through us, blah, blah, blah. But they're looking at more of the sale end of the transaction. And Zillow is looking more now at the purchasing side of the transaction, which because before they have like in the app, I know you can try and get like a home loan and things like that.

But they acquired last year mortgage lenders of America. So now they are going to begin also being the people who are financing the purchase of homes on their app. Now, dangerous. Now, while it all seems easy, right? Like there's something about like the process of buying a home that's very like laborious and makes people like really think about it because buying a home is the most significant investment a person is going to make in their life.

Unless you're Donald Trump and you're so rich, you can buy so many properties. But like, let's be real. And even now when we're living in an age where people's wages are stagnant and the home prices are rising. And that sort of disparity has allowed for a lot of corporate landlording, you know, like a lot of banks have come in, like in Charlotte, North Carolina, it's like really bad. There's a lot of banks that own homes. They're just renting them out. They're gentrifying these areas and it's pushing people who don't have the incomes

into areas that are making it even harder for them to find work. And it just exacerbates a general problem we have with housing. So that's why a lot of people are kind of looking at Zillow and like, oh, are they going to begin sort of getting in this world? I'm not comfortable with that. Yeah. I think that's why, you know, just in general, I think Zillow aside, when we look at sort of this new trend after the recession of banks and investment firms coming in to buy private properties, renting them, jacking the rents up, and keeping people out of houses, that's a huge issue to really kind of keep our eyes on. And also, when you think about anyone who's a first-time home buyer, let's say you want to put a bid in on a house, and there's a bank that comes in that has cash on hand, and they can actually give up and put something more than you can, you're going to lose to the bank every fucking time. Right.

So that's just something to keep an eye on how this sort of market is evolving too, to begin like saying like, oh, these kinds of things, while they seem like they're easier or while it seems like, oh, well, the bank's coming in and buying these distressed houses and making them nicer and making the neighborhoods nicer. There's also a very, very significant impact on homeownership and the housing crisis. Right. Homeownership is a big way that America built its middle class, basically, and then have kept people out of the middle class with redlining also. But the fact that after the financial crash, which was a a lot the real estate market was heavily involved that like the only people who got bailed out were the banks and they started buying up all the real

estate right it's taking a like that is hurting the middle class as much as fucking anything that conservatives point to and yeah man it's scary and then and then when you tie in the whole everything being consolidated because ease of use on your phone, like the same way that like Facebook, it's for some reason like these companies that can reach us through our phones have a way of just consolidating everything. Just like breaking it down into like very, you know, taking all the small pieces and just like owning it all. So yeah, Zillow, just we need to keep an eye on them, I guess. Absolutely. I mean, really, Zillow aside, you know,

we got to fucking get the wages right in this country and address just, you know, the predatory banking and all that other shit. But, you know, I guess we'll just complain about other shit for the time being. No, it's weird. I think it's just so weird to be, like, I live on a pretty developed street. I live in Mid-City, and it's, like, they're building it up a lot. And I live in one of, like, new apartments.

But, like, there are so many empty fucking apartments. Right. Like, so many. There's empty townhouses the next block over. Like, all, like, super new, super amazing. But, like, it's just so weird to see like homeless people walk by still. And I'm like the housing prices are so high. Like it just doesn't make any sense.

Like my rent is ridiculously high. Right. And it's to the point too where even people that could afford it are even like, what the fuck? Who the fuck do you think you're going to rent this to? Literally like what the fuck? Like it was really hard for me to even get in an apartment because it's so competitive, even just in the rental market, because it's just me. Okay? Like, I want to live by myself.

So when I was going up against couples, I could make just as much as they do. I could make just as much as they do as two people, but they'd rather have two people on the lease with two incomes. And so I was getting outbid by all these people. And I was like, this is bullshit. Like, this is absolute bullshit. Because I gave you everything you asked for. Yeah. And, like was getting outbid by all these people. And I was like, this is bullshit. Like, this is absolute bullshit. Because I gave you everything you asked for. Yeah. And like, I've got the money.

And then you still can't live anywhere. You're like, what the fuck? Right. So it's already competitive enough. And so when I look at like the amount of homelessness and like my friends who all have roommates but make like $100,000 a year, I'm like, what the fuck?

It's very what the fuck. Well, that's, I mean, because we still, we don't treat housing as like a right or home ownership as like, not that it has to be like an inalienable right,

but it needs to be something that anyone has access to. Yeah. And I think it's now just looked as an investment opportunity and you have people who buy houses

who have no fucking care for the community that they're buying the home in. They're just like, hey, I could buy up this block and just begin making a lot of money rather than looking at the neighborhood with the impact i'm having on the people that live there um and so yeah i mean i think that's just sort of this is all just part of uh late stage capitalism as we get into it and it'll only get worse right

yeah eat the rich yeah eventually yeah somebody had a tweet. It can't last forever. Aki, A-K-K-I, tweeted, Price of loaf of bread, 1977, 32 cents, 2019, $1.96. Median income, age 25 to 35, 1977, 34,000, 2019, 34,000. So our wages aren't growing, but the cost of living is growing. Wait, that was even adjusted for inflation? That's scary as fuck. Yeah, yeah, that even adjusted for inflation? That's scary as fuck. That's adjusted for inflation.

That's scary as fuck. Yeah, I mean, that makes sense. Everyone should be terrified. Well, and that's why people need to take candidates seriously that are actually making this part of their platform. You know, not just the Joe Bidens of the world who are like, hey, remember Obama? Like, that's not enough, bro, because Obama wages were still fucking stagnant, my man. Right, yeah. that's not enough bro because obama wages were still fucking stagnant my man right yeah i saw everyone tweeting about that level of uh words you use based on how angry you are when you say

my man you've had it my man yeah but you know like that's why when you look at like the policies of elizabeth warren or bernie sanders like they're they understand the existential threat there is to just regular people and that is something that really needs to be taken seriously because i don't think everybody like people want to be able to own homes establish wealth so they can their families can thrive yeah not for fucking bankers yeah my man right my good man exactly uh all right we're gonna take one more break we'll be right back Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered.
