Listen to the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. What's something from your search history that reveals a little bit about who you are? So, I just mentioned The View. That is because I watch The View every day. So, I don't really do Google search history as much as I go to my YouTube and I kind of refresh it

to see what their recommendations for me are. And it's always like, what's happened on The View that day? And also like, this is insane, but construction progress on theme park attractions. Oh, I get theme park attraction stuff too. I'm very into roller coaster YouTube. Oh, can you tell people what, did somebody tweet at you? I remember someone tweeted and you said,

what's that channel that you watch to fall asleep to? Tell people right now. I watch Defunctland. I love Defunctland. Isn't it great? Yeah, I love it. I'm so embarrassed to admit it,

but I think everyone watches it. No, we're in a community together. Okay, good. And I would say that everyone should come out. Everyone needs to come

What is Defunctland? So basically it's like it looks at, it's like a series, a video channel that looks at like old theme park attractions. Okay.

And it gets into the history of them and then it kind of just like talks about how they were developed and why they didn't work or like what the story is with them. Sure, sure. It's pretty cool. Like there's like a,

you know what old theme park attraction I'm obsessed with? Which one? It's called Alien Encounter. It was in the Magic Kingdom in Tomorrowland. Yes. So this was like,

and you can really go down a rabbit hole about this particular theme park attraction. This is insane that I'm getting into this, but it was a terrifying experience in Tomorrowland in the Magic Kingdom, which is very much a park for children. But they made a risk, and they were like,

we want to do a scary thing. And so they were gonna make a theme park attraction based on the movie Alien. Oh, the fucking movie Alien they made a ride after? Yes, because Disney was attached to it. And so they ended up sort of doing it and they realized, no, this is going to be way too scary. So they kind of made like an alternate version of it, which no one knew but was the most terrifying thing ever it's got a pre-show that has tyra banks which is my favorite thing about it um and then you basically go into this circular room and they put a restraint on you and the ride the it's a like a show really

but you're strapped into a chair oh my god and so what they claim that they're gonna do is they're gonna show you like a teleportation. They're gonna like beam in someone from another galaxy into the space. And it's a fucking alien. And it's, the mistake,

the thing that goes awry is it's a vicious alien and then they do that sort of sensory stuff where you can feel it breathing on your neck and sliming on you. And literally someone

dies in it and blood sprays. And this is in the Magic Kingdom. Wow. So this was an attraction in the 90s and they eventually shut it down because of guest complaints but it's like a beloved

theme park attraction for a certain type of person who like is gagged that they ever would do that. Right. I believe Defunctland did a series on it. They did. Yeah I'm like waiting I'm waiting for them to make a video about the Aerosmith roller coaster. Absolutely.

Because I like. Well, that still stands. Yes. Where is that? I love the Aerosmith. Hollywood Studios. I love it. It's such a good roller coaster.

See, I haven't been to any of those Orlando theme parks. You must go because they have been revolutionized in the past 10 years. Yeah, right. You go there and they are, it's just like, you can't believe. First of all, the production value, honey. It is a show. It is, you can't believe. First of all, the production value, honey. It is a show.

You are thoroughly entertained, and you must go see the Harry Potter stuff. Okay. I'm in. Oh, wait. Yeah, I've got a season pass, Miles, so I can get discounted passes if you ever want to come. Wow. Are you going to go to Galaxy's Edge? Yes.

So that's current events as well? Yeah. Galaxy's Edge is open. I'm trying to restrain myself because I will spend $7,000 in there. I mean, off the strength

of everything. I'll go to theme parks that I don't care about the IP it's based on. Like I'm not a big Star Wars fan, but I really want to go to Galaxy's Edge.

Like immersive experiences. No, for me, that's like a full fever dream because I'm like a theme park person and a Star Wars person. Oh my God. So I'm like really

freaking out. and also this ride that they're going to open later in the year called Rise of the Resistance is apparently like out of control I started reading the first half of the description and I had to stop because I'm like okay this is already pushing the boundaries of what a ride is and I also don't want to

spoil it for myself because I know if I'm actually experiencing it first hand I probably will just faint. Well, it's allegedly almost 20 minutes long. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Wow.

And it's more than one style of ride. Yes. You change vehicles. I'm so excited. Which has never been done. I didn't know that. That's amazing. Did you hear about the Kylo Ren animatronic?

No. No. Wow. Like a full Adam driver? No. I know. That's why I stopped. It is an Adam Driver that is going to come all the way up to you, honey.

No. And try to kill you. Oh, fuck that. And there are life-size AT-ATs. Right. The fact that Adam Driver has been immortalized in this way. It's insane and it doesn't make sense. The first time we ever saw him he like came on Lena Dunham

and now he is the Star Wars villain he is it's so I watched we're doing an episode on f*** today and I was like

oh he was in fucking that movie too in Fedora the whole time and you're just like five years later right he literally rose to fame

as the weirdest fuck boy in Brooklyn and now he is the villain of Star Wars. He is in a Disney attraction forever. I look forward to a very thoughtful essay on that one day. Listen, I might write it today. If I keep drinking this cold brew.

I'm at 36% right now. Oh, shit. You're not even going to understand the book I write. It's going to be too smart. It's going to be a genius essay on. Galaxy brain. Yes. What's a myth?

What's something people get wrong that you're like, no, I need to hip y'all to the truth? Okay, so guess what? Might have misunderstood the assignment. Okay. I wrote down Bloody Mary. Okay, wow. I think that if you go in to the bathroom, close the door, and shut the lights. Yes.

If you say Bloody Mary three times, she won't come. That bitch isn't coming. Well, hold on. Well, that's a fucking hot ass take, man. She's not coming. I have a lot of sleepovers that would indicate otherwise. Do you have a lot of dead friends? There is.

Yeah. All my friends are dead. Wish me to the edge. Isn't that a... Yeah. It's like, that's a song that's basically the Billie Eilish album. Oh, you're talking about Losey Vert? a, yeah, it's like, that's a song that's a, basically the Billie Eilish album. Oh, you're talking about Lil Uzi Vert?

Uh, well, no, I was just saying that. I don't really care if you cry. All my friends are dead. Push Me to the Edge. That one?

No, I wasn't talking about that one. I was talking about, but I know the one you're talking about. Oh, my bad. I think that, I think that Lil Uzi Vert.

I'm always just trying to get Lil Uzi Vert in here all the time. All My Friends Are Dead, that's like pulled from like a shitty, like novelty book at Urban Outfitters. Yeah, I'm sure. I mean, also just the line

isn't very original as prose. All My Friends Are Dead. Sorry, Bloody Mary. I'm sorry, are all your friends dead? Yes.

Okay, well then, so what do you say about that, Matt? Well, first of all, I can't source that. Also, can I check and be lying? What's your brain capacity at right now?

What are we operating at? I'm at a full 24. Wow. Yeah, we're shooting up. We're shooting up. I'm incredibly smart right now because of this cold brew. From Kirkland Signature. But this is what I think.

Correct me if I'm wrong. The story goes, if you go in there and execute of the of the name three times and the door is shut you look in the mirror etc she will come kill you or she will come spook you i don't know i just thought she showed up i didn't know well what does she do i think that it's what does she do what what's your aim what's your goal like are you a murderer i think the whole thing is unclear i think that we need to really get down to brass tacks about what it is to expect when we do this. And I was thinking like, literally I was like,

well, maybe we should just do it. One of us should go in the bathroom, shut the door and do that. But then I was like, literally thought of doing it and I was too scared. I won't do it.

I won't do it. So is it real then? And I don't want either of you to do it. Well, I would never do it alone ever, ever. Really? Well,

I think that, and that's another thing is it's like, if you go in there with someone else, will she come? Because she knows she's going to be alone, ever. Ever. Really? Well, I think that, and that's another thing, is it's like, if you go in there with someone else, will she come? Because she knows she's gonna be outnumbered. Right. But this is also existing in a world where she's like an omnipresent thing,

like, sorry, God, where she's always watching and knows there are more people than her in the bathroom. I don't know. I think that if I would only do it alone, and I would like, if I, if I like had a knife, which is, I would end up, I would end up stabbing myself.

That's the thing. You can't, how do you kill a ghost? How do you kill a ghost? are you dead? Famously, ghosts are already dead. What?

Exactly. It's one of the, it's one of the things about them. We should start a new podcast. I can't stand it. It's like cereal, but we get to the bottom of this Bloody Mary nonsense.

Honestly, I'm happy I brought it up and I'm happy I misunderstood. What is your goal, Bloody Mary? Come face me, you coward. Debate me. Debate me, coward. Come in here and disprove a myth. And I was like, bloody

Mary. Top myths. Well, do you know what else I thought, which has already been debunked? Do you know the myth that is if you douche with a Coke bottle, you won't get pregnant? I didn't remember that. What? I heard a myth, and this has been debunked on another television show that I

watched in middle school, which is how I remember this. It's one of those things that you watch at one time during a formative age and you never forget it. I can't remember truly anyone's name that I met yesterday. But it said that after you have sex sex if you have sex and something happens like you have a little oopsie where you know the condom breaks or you just raw

dog it or someone shoots up the club yep yeah absolutely so you can douche with a coke bottle and the caffeine will kill the sperm and you don't get pregnant. Wow. And women apparently were doing this. What I mean, Coke never ceases to come up with incredible marketing tactics. See, it's a cure-all for everything. This is like a guerrilla

marketing tactic where they're like, they're not necessarily putting it on billboards but they are whispering into people's ears. It is in our pop music subliminally.

Right. Yes. That's why Billie Eilish exists. Yeah. If you play her music backwards.'s all it is it's like yeah it's like helter skelter but it's douche with a coke bottle all right we're gonna go check on this bloody mary myth real quick in the bathroom yes we're gonna have to what is a myth eric what is something that people think is true that you know to be false or vice versa well so we were

just talking about before going on a podcast that I believe that people that experience mania are not actually mad, but they're actually tapping into something bigger than ourselves, which I find interesting. So I experienced mania two months ago. Wow. And it was honestly one of the best experiences of my life

and it's changed how I view things. And I used to think that I knew everything and now I'm like, I feel like I'm back to square one and i used to think that i knew everything and now i'm like i feel like i'm back to square one you really thought you thought you knew everything no but like i i was i am quite smart like i used to be ashamed of saying i'm quite smart now i'm like no you know what i right i was such a nerd at school i read all about the science maths right all about the i'm just a nerd like i love it and i got to a point and albert einstein even says it the more you study science the more you study science,

the more you start believing in God. And I wasn't into that because I was like, no, no God. And now I'm like, well, I don't know. Right.

And in mania is what gave me that little flavor of like, why am I experiencing? And it was, and it's a nice balance between, you know, I keep a journal now because I'm going, Hey, you could be mentally ill.

And the way i like the one thing i said is that some psychiatrists came to see my stand-up show in london and they came up to me afterwards and they were like you need to do to do this show to like psychiatrists and patients right and i was like yeah i'd like to do that and they were like and they said because psychiatrists they know how the brain works they know the details but they've not experienced it and to explain it to like a really simple way which i sort of i'm trying to work on i guess is someone that could create beer might know the ingredients exactly how to make beer but if they've never tasted it or if they've never been drunk on it right they don't know everything about

beer right right and that's how i feel about psychiatrists is that you might know exactly how to make beer you ain't drank any of it. You don't know about beer? Shut up. And sometimes it's good that the people making your beer aren't drunk. Right. I think that's true as well. Right. So I feel like it would be nice if a scientist out there would explore mania as not a mental breakdown, but as a possibility that it opened a gateway to something

else yeah yeah no that's really that's where i'm at and i think it's i i feel like uh just one thing you briefly touched on is that people at the mental health facility were actually helpful because you you rarely hear that in popular culture just any culture in general it's always the one flew over the cuckoo's nest nurse ratchet type shit don't get me wrong like it i felt like that a little bit you know like i had to learn how to trade cigarettes for things right which was really interesting yeah uh they they you know there's this shot there's a, a lot of time in movies, you see this shot of these mental patients just wandering the halls and you look at that

and you're like, man, they're so mad. No, they haven't got anything to do. I was doing that. I was just wandering the halls just going, all right,

got to kill some time. Right. And, and then like, for example, I would start making myself laugh because I'm just on my own kind of thing. And so then I was like, whoa,

from an outside perspective, I'm that extra. I'm making myself laugh because I'm just on my own kind of thing. And so then I was like, whoa, from an outside perspective. I'm that extra. I'm that. I'm that character. But it wasn't that I was mad. I was just enjoying myself. I'm just trying to fill my time. Yeah. Well, this definitely warrants some follow up.

People should go see you live or read whatever book you eventually write on the subject. live or read whatever book you eventually write on the subject. Justin Bieber is back in the news because, and this is just going to be a real brief check-in, but he has challenged- Just read the tweet out loud. Okay. So Justin Bieber, quote, I want to challenge Tom Cruise to fight in the octagon. Tom, if you don't take this fight, you're, that's sick, Y-O-U-R, scared and you will never live it down who is willing to put on the fight question mark dana white question mark um no one knows what this is yeah no context no

context nobody knows the fuck is going on nobody connor mcgregor stepped in was like all all my company will put the fight on if tom cruise agrees did he but like what the fuck are they going to do? I don't even understand why they would fight. Yeah. Is this something happen? Is it? Because what Tom Cruise is what?

56 will be 57 in July. Justin Bieber. How old is Justin Bieber? What's Justin been up to since he's sort of not been up too much? He's 25. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. It seems like this might be.

He's married. You know? Yeah. Is he. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. It seems like this might be... He's married, you know? Yeah. Is he? Yeah. People have been concerned about his mental health in the tabloids. That's fair enough. Which are always, you know, 100% accurate. How old is he?

25. Yeah. And he's been basically deified since the age of 13, 14. Yeah, that makes sense. So, like, because the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that sort of deals with complex thinking and social skills and just your thoughts. Right. It takes about 25 years to develop.

So if he's 25 now, it means that his brain has developed during that time. And yeah, he has been this sort of deity to the world. So like, his brain must be, like I was telling you about how like, we've all got different brains. He's looking at Tom Cruise right now. His world must be like i was telling you about how like we've all got different brains to his world right now his world must be insane because he's actually developed as as a sort of superstar celebrity well right and he's only had people saying like yes justin whatever you need justin oh my god that's okay justin like and then i mean who knows where that takes the self-edit function is not highly developed no him. But I mean, first of all,

I think Tom Cruise will beat the fucking shit out of Justin Bieber. Oh yeah, experience. Yeah, and I mean like- Plus he's his own stuntman. Tom Cruise is not scared of breaking a bone.

Yeah. Well, I don't know, I mean, I respect Justin for his music because I saw him do a bit of drumming when he was like six and I was like,

holy crap, you're good. All right, kid. But I've not seen him like get in a scrap, right? Well, Tom Cruise, drumming when he was like six and i was like holy crap you're good all right kid right but um but but i've not seen him like getting a scrap right well tom cruise like he'll break bones from like falling out of a helicopter right then like xenu the lord savior of scientology will be like you're healed exactly jump back up who's justin bieber coming in the ring with because tom cruise is bringing xenu in there he's got that jesus calf tattoo man that's true but i mean i don't know uh you know jesus versus zena they have to dress up as those deities then you have a real then we've got a

fight and they've completely made a mockery of both of their beliefs i'm like great fine zenu versus jesus as played by justin bieber and tom cruise but yeah i mean i don't know i'm really curious what is this also the cynical part of me is like okay what are they promoting right because this clearly you're just now you've put two names together and now there's a ton of write-ups about tom cruise and justin bieber what will happen it could be as simple as like he's just like had a weird episode and he just he was like who's the most powerful person in hollywood which you could say tom cruise is one of them right right and he was like, who's the most powerful person in Hollywood? Which you could say Tom Cruise is one of them. Right.

And he was like... I feel like this is a very old man reference for a 25-year-old. I would expect him to just be finding out who Tom Cruise is. Maybe he was watching something and he was like, I bet I could beat Tom Cruise's ass. And like, nah, come on, Justin. This dude's tight. He's on a motorcycle shooting guns.

Come on, Justin. Maybe he watched Tropic Thunder where he's got a bit of a bald head. Yeah. Right. Probably a little belly. He's seen Tropic Thunder for the first time and go, damn, Tom Cruise let his shit go. I'm beating this version of Tom Cruise. They're like, all right, never mind, Justin.

Yeah, tweet that out. I do like the idea of the psychology of somebody who's just been watching Tom Cruise's career the whole time just being like, God, I can't kick that guy's ass. When am I going to be able to kick that guy's ass? And he's finally like, whoo! He hit it. Whenever he tweeted that, he did his 300 push-ups in a row, and he's like, I promised myself when I could do that,

I'm ready to beat Tom Cruise's ass. Beating up Tom Cruise as your monomaniacal Captain Ahab goal is a... I like that character. We need to develop that. So watch this space. Alright, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And we're just going to check in here with a reminder that white people are bad at pretending to be black people on the internet. I wanted to revisit this trend uh can i just say as a comedian i really wanted to do some sort of voice as you said that right that would have been the comedy moment yeah but i was like no go on just be okay here is my black voice hello everyone hello everyone you don't know that i'm not yeah very measured oh I'm sorry.

Did I not meet your societal expectation of what I was supposed to say? Then I believe you are the bad person. Oh, shit. So there is a trend that goes back probably as long as there's been the internet where, you know, white people do a bad job sock puppeting their own politics with burner accounts, meant to convince other white people that black men usually are who they want them to be. In the very early days of TDZ, we covered the, I forget what the name of the street is, some famous Houston street loot crew in the aftermath of Harvey in Houston,

because white gun owners have a recurring fantasy that they'll get to shoot people who are trying to enter their home and get to shoot looters who are trying to loot their home during a hurricane. And it was just horribly, clearly your grandfather trying to do a rap. It was like someone saw an episode of A Different World. Yes. And thought that's how black people talk. Yes. And it was like someone saw an episode of a different world yes and thought that's how black people talk yes and it was from 1988 and then plus on top of all the slang was oh it sounded like

what you hear at a like if you ever hear somebody do a bad impression of what they think african american person talks like is what those tweets read like and you're almost reading this shit like, what the fuck is this? So somebody did a search, an image, reverse image search on the avatar of somebody on Twitter named The Dope Conservative. Oh, that's a paradox. And they found that their avatar

was a stock photo for black guy glasses. Oh, if you just search black guy? Yeah, it's one of the early google image searches and it's on uh one of the stock photo houses and his tweets include such gems as what is it about black conservatives that confuse you crackers so much he exists exclamation point um clearly why did this account come up? Did somebody just discover they're like, yo, this account, there's something going on over here

with the dope conservative. Yes, I think somebody just pointed out the fact that they were clearly not the avatar that they had put up there. These other tweets? Yes, Magalish83 pointed out that there's another tweet.

I'm just going to read it to you guys. Brother just trying to work his way out of poverty and Democrats be like, stay on welfare, boy. So that would be enough to blow your mind. That does sound like a white writer. On the nose it is. But then that tweet closes out with this gem fuck out of here with that jive talk well that was close fuck out of here is very that's very right that's very modern or not modern but like that's a very east coast thing if it would have been better if he just did foh right um and with

fuck out fuck out of here like not even fuck out of here fuck out of here with that jive doc it does feel like whoever wrote this if he had to create a french character it'd be like oh i can't believe sacre bleu like everyone because i'm actually french i don't sound it and every time people are like oh sacre bleu right and i'm like no no no one's ever said that in front like this is only in disney movies what does sacre bleu even mean sacred blue and it's like an expression like oh fuck which i'm i'm sure existed right at some point but no one's ever going to say that in france the only time i hear it is when americans are like hey yeah right and so like i believe that this character this guy whoever this white guy is

should write actually some spoof accounts for like every country yes sure just to see what he comes out with was this i was the account trying to sort of basically just pretend that there was sort of this black conservative person who was like man trump really fucking pulling up for my people, y'all. Yes, exactly. With a Z on the end. Right. Because that's tight. Yeah, because they were tired of being called racist by their kids and everybody at Thanksgiving.

And so they were like, what if I created this? I'll do the Twitter version of Loquisha. Exactly, the Twitter version of Loquisha. They're like, guess what, kids? Your old man's behind that account you think i'm cool now oh my god i talk like the brothers what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are uh okay this is a search from this morning i have been having some wild dreams and so my search this morning was dream about rabbit with crust on its mouth.

Oh, no. From what I can tell, there's not a lot of, there's not a lot. I may be, in fact, an innovator in this field. Your brain has invented a new dream. I had a dream last night that, like, I had a dream that I woke up and there was a turtle in my bed. And it was, like, hugging my leg. And I I was like I'll be this turtle's mom sure and then I was like I gotta go show my friends which they were all at a grocery store uh-huh in the back yes because they worked there yeah so I went to the grocery store brought my turtle and I was taking it out of the bag to be like check out this turtle

but then it was a rabbit with crust on its mouth and they're like where'd you get this crusty rabbit and I was like he'll tell you and then he couldn't talk because of all with crust on its mouth. And they were like, where'd you get this crusty rabbit? And I was like, he'll tell you. And then he couldn't talk because of all the crust on his mouth. Horny turtles do turn into crusty rabbits. I believe that is like the caterpillar to butterfly transition in dream logic. Maybe it's a science dream. Yeah, yeah. Looking for, I was like, what does it mean?

But maybe it's just that. Maybe it's a memory that actually happened to you. I think it may have been a repressed memory of the time I brought my turtle to a grocery store. Our neighbor has a white rabbit that is constantly escaping and just hanging out in our front yard, which is cool because we get like a pet rabbit for free. Is it like one of those big ones? It's not that big. It's just like a, you know, like a normal sized rabbit. It's not that big. It's just like a normal sized rabbit. But people, at least once a day, people stop by our house and are like, your rabbit got out. And then we have to explain, no, it's our neighbors, but they don't care that their rabbit's out. They just let it stay out and it comes home. So very weird.

Is there such thing as a wild rabbit? It's not like an outside rabbit. Right. I thought it was just a normal rabbit. What if it beats on any other rabbit? And it's like, oh, wait. Let's bounce. Yeah. Let's get out of here.

I used to have a pet turtle named Football Team. Oh, no. Really? Yeah. He was really cute. I had him in college. You're the best. Thank you.

Yeah. I think the way that they know it's not a real rabbit, and this is some information that apparently everybody but me had, is that white rabbits don't exist in the wild. They only exist in magician's hats and my front yard. Oh, wow. And it's us. Maybe you're having a dream. Yeah.

No, it's like very dream logic-y, though. It's just this, like, every time I come home late at night or, you know, from work, there's just a rabbit that's just, like, staring up at me, like, as I walk past my front lawn. If anyone in Zeitgang is a dream analyst, let me know. Because seeing a rabbit in your dream is supposed to mean, like, a sign of success and luck. But what if it cannot speak because it's too crusty? Right. Seems ominous. Right. Right was was the crust a specific color like it wasn't like it was also it was a white rabbit the crust was also white but like you to the point where you couldn't even

see the rabbit's mouth his mouth was like sealed it was pretty grotesque i think it had rabies yeah it sounds like a rabie rabbit but Rabie rabbit. Damn, that's crazy, though, because normally, like, the dream websites be having all the tea. Like, I go on there all the time. And I don't know if I make interpretations on dream websites just because it's what I want to happen. Like, I remember I used to have these vivid dreams in college before. This is terrible, but I stole this girl's boyfriend. But the dreams was like, ooh, girl. Love, the ultimate scam the dreams were like oh girl you supposed to be with this man he in love with you y'all supposed to be together that's at

least have my interpretation and i was right huh i wonder if you can like find that that's interesting there's some like reliable dream websites that I go to that just basically confirm my own biases. Reliable in that respect. I knew that. I was on dreamingandsleeping.com. It doesn't sound like a very good list. A to Z dreams, honey. Because then you go A to Z dreams. They got everything.

They got kissing your cousin, making out with your auntie. They got, you know. But it's all dreams. I know. You know, the greatest hits of dreams that we've all had because of your cousin making out with your aunt right come on now i still my worst dream that i've ever had or the dream i had that i've never been able to analyze is like when i was 12 i had a dream that i was having a birthday party and there was like one of those inflatable jumpy houses which we could like i never had one of

those and i was like oh this is so cool it's my birthday and they were like actually bob saget's in there and he's not gonna come out so it ruined the party oh that sounds like it could be a memory also uh wait how old were you when you had that dream 12 i just watched like uh reruns a full Yeah. You already got the sense that Bob Saget was a just a moody bitch. And he's not coming out. Uncooperative bitch, Bob Saget. Let's talk about Adweek, guys. We look to them for any reporting about millennials and young people in general. Adweek generally has their finger on the pulse.

So they published an article. I'm just going to read the headline and subhead to you. It's so aggravating that this is even an article on Adweek. Yes. Why targeting millennial consumers might not be such a hot idea after all. And then subhead. A growing body of evidence shows why Gen Y consumers aren't ideal because many of them are broke. That's the subhead.

We're ruining everything because we're broke and can't buy anything. But then I like even how Adweek is like, here's the deal. They're the problem because they're broke and can't buy anything but then i like even how adweek is like here's the deal they're the problem because they're broke uh otherwise the consumer machine could run fine yeah yeah if they weren't yeah it's really interesting to read all these things that we've known are true and have talked about for the past two years, but written from the perspective of a consumerist advocate. Yeah, right. So they're talking about how this new survey of 4,000 American consumers determined that millennials are just not spending as much money on random shit, basically.

And then they said, the problem is not their size as millennials represent a larger consumer group than the baby boomers and it's not the block of money they control millennials spend about 600 billion dollars a year uh the problem rather is that millennials are saddled with very large and unavoidable expenses that reduce their spending power when it comes to discretionary purchasing that gets marketers so excited. Expenses like what? They write. Data from Deloitte and other sources point to at least two major factors that are

impeding millennial spending power right now. Housing and student debt. What? I know. It's like, is there a more obvious statement? It's just... It's so weird to hear like a capitalist assessment of the fucking the machinations of the terrible shit that happens in this stage of capitalism. Like they're the people who sell the shit.

Right. And then they're like, huh, it's interesting. We're noticing that this system that we're perpetuating has led to this consumer group not having enough money. And now we're kind of rubbing our chins about it. Like, right. But to have any other take would require self-awareness about their position in capitalism. Exactly. Exactly.

And what it means to be foisting expectations of expenditure onto your consumers when your consumers are literally under the thumb of systemic debt. Right. And it's like if you're trying to eat and survive, it's like all those articles about how millennials are killing certain industries. Yeah. When in fact those industries don't exist to serve them. Yeah. And they should be changing their models. Yeah.

Hey, if you didn't eat a sandwich all the time, you'd have enough money for a house. Yes. That is like an argument that really. Yeah. And also, that's an argument that really like boils my blood because it's like life is so difficult. If you need to have a sandwich out, do it. Because it's like life is so difficult.

If you need to have a sandwich out, do it. Like your $9 sandwich is not going to even the playing field as far as like generational wealth goes. Do you know what I mean? Like the people who can buy houses in Los Angeles are from intergenerational wealth. Like honestly, they should be redistributing into the community and instead are investing in like assets, which is neither here nor there. But it's just like. Yeah. Yeah. It's, uh, God.

And none of them ever take the time to say, well, why is, why is someone even forced to decide between a sandwich and healthcare? Absolutely. Why don't you zoom out a little bit on like the context of what you're asking? It's like an examination of the symptoms that has no lens on the cause. Yeah. Right. It's a really important point that you don't see covered a lot in the media is that millennials have, like, they spend a lot of money.

It's just they're spending it on things that cost more to their generation, housing and student debt. Right. Like, student debt has gone, like, the cost of college has gone way up compared to previous generations, and so has housing. Just erase all that fucking debt now. Yeah. Yeah.

I think, like, what is actually, like, necessary is an examination of, like, why college costs have risen so exorbitantly. Like, at what point does it become almost predatory lending? Yeah. Right? Like, giving student loans out to 18-year-olds who maybe like do or do not have a cosigner, don't really know what's going on, making sure that they're like knowing the difference between federal and private loans.

So it's like at what point is that sort of like a predatory housing loan? Yeah. And I think that's also just, I think fundamentally, we just also don't, when I think about the presidential race, I'm like, I'm more interested in candidates who question why things like health and education are profitable revenue streams for companies rather than like – Absolutely. These are not – these aren't things that need to generate revenue. Exactly. But I would argue that under capitalism, there is sort of the idea that anything and everything is available for purchase and available to monetize.

And if that incentive exists, there's always going to be corporations and people who want it to exist. Like if we think about the pharmaceutical industry, specifically in America, we experience drug prices that no other country does because of things like, you know, patents. And there's just like no incentive to stop doing it because there's so much money inside of it. Yeah. Well, I think that's why we're having this, these like moments where we're having to really examine like the sort of systems we're living

under like how long can this go before it completely flames yeah absolutely and before it cannibalizes itself yeah because i mean that's what's happening now with all this kind of private privatization of public works and things like that so oh yeah that drives me nuts especially like stories about like kids who will fill in potholes for free and the city will just like send them a check right and it's just like that is a broken state yeah right or there's like another one of like kid uses his like uh fucking chore money to pay off the lunch lunch debt and you're like oh did you i read one of those stories and the lunch that was like 74 and it's like your local government can't i'll send 74 like your local government can't i'll send $74 like your local government can't

cover that like what is right but instead the the way that that gets turned into a news story is if a private individual has to cover it for the people like that's yeah but we also lift those stories up and celebrate them in a way that becomes like toxic like we're like oh that's so sweet instead of being like that's actually super fucked up that they had to do that. Like where are any of the like governmental support systems? I don't blame us though.

I think like we're going to find the glimmers of hope where we can. Like the people who built the system should be. But I think at the same time, you can cover that and you can say, acknowledge that this person did something good. But also in that article, because most articles like articles like and i mean six-year-old steven really went out of his way to make things were fair rather than like he did that because he operates in a

fucking hellscape exactly where we put all this shit on this six-year-old kid or however old this child is like what the fuck is how that article should end yeah well that would be like a more well-rounded and truthful examination of the issue instead of just like the one like human interest right because i think it's a little bit makes us feel good but then it also distracts people that like we're actually racing against a clock of an issue that really needs to be addressed and not really taken seriously because we have moments that we just go yeah i think that it can placate people yeah in a really dangerous way yeah for sure well if we ever get a media outlet we'll cover that side of it

yeah and everyone will just be like yeah at the end it's like boo but also shout out to the child but also fuck the system that put him or her them in that situation yeah uh all right we're going to take another 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 the situation is desperate.

apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast And we're back. Guys, I want to talk about Kawhi Leonard. Who's that, may I ask? He is apparently the best player in the NBA. It wasn't clear heading into the playoffs, but he has loaded the country of Canada onto his back and just dragged them to the promised land. Yeah, the promised land. Yeah. The promised slowly.

And I'm wondering if this is all part of a viral marketing stunt for men in black international, because they do have a campaign where Anthony Davis turns out to be an alien. And I'm, I'm wondering if this is all a slow roll where like once he's on the podium accepting the award, he'll reveal that he's an alien or something because I don't know. This is very convoluted. No, go on. No, no.

But anyways, I just have this one quote that is further evidence that he's definitely an alien. So this is about his time with the San Antonio Spurs years ago. While with the Spurs, Kawhi was known for his love of red apples. One time after practice, everyone decided to go out for a team dinner. Pops, like, team dinners are legendary, and he would take them to, like, amazing restaurants and, like, share. He's, like, one of the best wine minds in America. Greg Popovich, he's like a Soam?

Yeah, he's like Soam's respect the shit out of him. Of Greg Popovich? Yes, Greg Popovich. Wow, I like his new skills. Yes, but anyways, at one of these meals, he takes everybody out after practice for a team dinner. When it was his turn to order, Kawhi waved off the

waiter and instead pulled out a bag of 12 apples. Coach Popovich asked what he was doing and Kawhi simply replied, apple time. Apple time. He then ate all 12 apples with a knife and fork.

Yo! Like on a plate? Not even like peeling it or whatever? Let me fork and knife job this. I like him. Yes, I do too. Apple time? Apple time. That's somebody who knows the shit out of themself.

Yes, exactly. I can pretend I want to participate in this meal or I can honor apple time. And this shit is apple time. Also, he's made a memory. If I was at a table, because sometimes you don't remember every restaurant meal you've had yeah yeah you'll remember this one oh i was there when he brought out apples and he was like apple time baby it's like how was your food it's like i don't know i just remember apple time to be honest and he loved

it do they say what kind of red apples it was no they, they don't. This actually came up. Was it a metaphor? This was shared. No, it wasn't. This is just, he's a very strange guy. We need to show you some clips of interviews with him. Just hearing him laugh. Because he doesn't know how to laugh. He has this bizarre laugh.

People describe it as, he sounds like he has broken ribs. He's laughing, but trying not to move his body. Yeah, it's something else. Yeah, but this guy, this anyway sent me down along. It was shared with me by one of my friends in a thread. My friend was like, oh, I thought I liked red apples. And I was like, oh, what's your favorite kind of red apple?

Because I'm a big apple fan. And he said red delicious. Was his favorite kind of red apple? Because I'm a big apple fan. And he said red delicious was his favorite kind of apple, which is unacceptable. Yeah, red delicious is not a good. I would never reach for a red delicious on its own. Yeah. I mean, I will have the hybrid, the Fuji, which I know is a descendant of the Red Delicious.

Yeah, Fuji's great. It's crisp. So in a way, you're being racist towards apples. I think that all apples taste brilliant. Do you really? No, no. Come on, honor that take then. So you think every apple tastes delicious? Well, okay, let's just do this. So every apple has a purpose.

Oh, fuck off. Come on, everyone. I actually brought you some apples myself. Yeah. I did tweet about this and somebody called me out and was like, this is, Red Delicious was all

I could afford growing up. And that's fair. They are cheaper than like the Honeycrisp is a good apple that was apparently engineered by somebody who like tried to engineer the perfect combination

of apple traits. Oh, man. The Mutsu. Also Jazz, Envy, Fuji. Those are all great. Mutsu. Mutsu. Also Jazz, Envy, Fuji. Those are all great. Mutsu. Mutsu. Japanese.

Mutsu is Japanese apple. Cijam. Fuck. I think the reason I had this weird take on it is I actually don't know any differences between apples. So I know what I like, which is it looks red. And when you crack it, it proper cracks. So that is my problem with Red Delicious.

I don't know if I've just had a bunch of- They don't crunch that well. They're kind of mushy. So somebody was saying, oh, you've just had some bad batches of Red Delicious. But I feel like they must have a very short window of crispness. Because every time I've had a Red Delicious, they've been real mushy. Yeah, it sounds like you're eating a plum. Yeah.

I'm like, oh, crap to that one. Is there a fruit that you do like enough that you know the difference between the varieties? No, I don't. Are you a big fruit eater at all? No, I love fruit, but like I'm never really in one place enough. Like geographically speaking. So every country, every place

just has different things that I just accept whatever's in front of me. And it's like, I go, every place just has different things that I just accept whatever's in front of me. Yeah. And it's like, I go, every time I eat something, I'm like, yum. Even if it's kind of crap, because that's the only choice I have. Right. So blissed out. I go, yum, yum.

Like this one. Yum, yum. That worm tasted really good. This like a couple of months ago, like this, we had like horrible red wine at this party. And this one was like how can you drink that and i was like that's all we have and yeah right because i was like i was like i was drinking it like that oh and she was like what is wrong with you and she's like that's all we have so i might as well enjoy it right and she was like oh that's an interesting viewpoint

well i mean it's true that's like everything right you can either accept or resist right and resisting your reality in front of you is only going to lead to more displeasure. I mean, I've always said resistance is futile. Thank you so much, Borg. Very nice. Mr. Borg Jack. It's interesting, though, because now that I think about it, there are no other fruits that I pay that much attention to. Like bananas are the types that I know are uh not ripe ripe there's plantains and

but too late yeah too late uh yeah but and i i wonder hmm i wonder if there are other like i know there are pears that are come in different forms but like are there people who are like oh this is this is not a good banana you have to to try the – Bananas I've not heard – Honeycrisp bananas. Talk about varietals. I hear about Bartlett pears and Asian pears and, like, them shits from Harry and David that, like, agents send for gift baskets. I read a long article about strawberries and, like, the different – because they're trying to grow, like, breed strawberries

that are pluckable by robotic hands. And so they have to be like a certain type of, in addition to being like shelf stable, sweet, big, red, like all the things that- I like that they're changing the fruit rather than just making a robot that has like man hands. Right, exactly. Just get some man hands.

But apparently they're very, I think it was strawberries. It might be a different berry, but they're- A strawberry is not actually a berry. It's not? No. Take that, you bunch of fact freaks. So apparently, this is such a nerdy little loser fact that I have in my head,

but a berry needs to have the seed inside of its sort of coating. And so strawberries, the seeds are on the outside, while a banana is a berry. Right, because there are the seeds are on the inside while a banana is a berry. Right. Because there are the seeds are on the inside. The inside of its coating. This is like that time that we found out

that sushi is a burrito. Yeah. What? It was just somebody who tried to do a... You know the garden strawberry first made? Brittany.

Brittany? Oh. Yes. Oh, interesting. You are welcome. Sacre bleu. Yeah, sacre bleu. Sacre red. That's right um oh the evolution of fruits and

vegetables guys we can have a whole lot of fun you know that carrots used to be purple yeah take that and you haven't even talked about the colombian exchange guys there's so much oh man so so fruit and veg podcast so much sure um also corn started out looking like with a single kernel on the end of a thing and then somebody had to breed it to be shaped like a giant yellow cock i like it wait a corn just used to be a one kernel kernels on a thing on a tip or something you know it'd be better a dildo made it a dildo just coated on the outside with the kernels can you imagine yeah how you gonna do that i don't know man this is i just i'm the outside with- With kernels. Can you imagine? Yeah, how are you going to do that? I don't know, man. I'm the idea guy.

You guys figure it out. That was what science was focused on. Now we're focused on curing climate change. But back then they were like, how are we going to make a corn that is coated on the outside of a giant yellow dildo for future generations? What you technically refer to a berry as? This is not a berry. What's that? It is an aggregate accessory fruit. Yeah.

Oh, I like it. That's actually what I was already referring to them as even before you told me that. Oh, yeah. I love most aggregate accessory fruits, AAFs. But I guess meaning that the fleshy part is derived not from the plant's ovaries, but from the receptacle that holds the ovaries. Each apparent seed on the outside of the fruit is actually one of the ovaries of the flower

with a seed inside it. Oh, you said ovaries three times there, and I liked it. Yes. Have you ever seen what cashews look like? When, like on a tree? It looks like a fruit is pooping out the cashew. Really?

Yeah, it's really weird. Guys, let's talk about the Keanu Reeves McConaissance. Did you make that up? It's being called. The Keanu Reeves McConaissance?

Yeah. Yeah, I made it up. Wait, is the McConaissance a real thing? The Matthew McConaughey McConaissance? Did people call that

the McConaissance? When he had four movies in a row that were killing it and people were like, wait, he's a great actor. I can't do this close to respecting him. That was the McConaissance.

I thought you were asking if I came up with the idea to call it the Keanu Reeves McConaissance. That too. Damn, dude. I did come up with the- Damn, son. Where'd you find that? I did come up with the Reevesurgence.

That's good. Yeah. Okay. The Book of Reevelations. I don't know why the Reevesurgence. That's good. Yeah. Okay. The Book of Reevelations. I don't know why that makes any sense. The end. Yeah. But I feel like what he's doing to this pop culture landscape is very, you know, scorched

earth. He's everywhere. It's really amazing and beautiful. Yeah. Yeah. All, I mean, it was bubbling, right? I feel like the first, and look, I'm not a journalist who's accurately, you know, documenting all this, but I feel like the first thing we saw was that tweet

that was like how all these lead action stars and the amount of female directors they had worked with. Oh, yeah. And Keanu Reeves was like number one. Yeah. By far. By far, like 17 to two or whatever the fuck it was. And then the article came out about, the fake thing came out about him being lonely.

Right. And then that set off all the Keanu sympathy. And then that was the same weekend that Always Be My Maybe was John Wick 3. Then he was suddenly in Always Be My Maybe. And then now he's in Toy Story 4. And he's the best part. You were saying he's the best part of Always Be My Maybe. Like he plays like a douchebag version of himself.

He was pretty funny. I mean, the whole thing was pretty funny. But yeah, it was a very pleasant surprise to see him come out and actually have, I don't even know if he has comedic chops or the director just knows how to be like, this is going to be funny if Keanu Reeves just says this shit however he does. Right. Does he play himself? Yes.

Okay. I haven't seen it yet. And I'm excited to watch it but i've i feel like i've been set up for his cameo in a way where it can't possibly live up yeah yeah it's going to be disappointing at this point for those who haven't seen it to me it was a shock yeah i watched it was like what the fuck what are you doing well and then people were on twitter being like telling stories like i worked on a movie with him. I was like I was I worked in wardrobe and every day he would come and leave us a sack of a million dollars.

Right. It was all these impossible. Right. Yeah. He gave this is yeah, this is one of those stories that doesn't seem like it could possibly be true, but he gave $80 million of his Matrix salary away to the special effects and costume designers because he thought that they did the- More work. Yeah, like the better work on the- Are you for real? That's, yeah.

That's the truth. That really is the story. Yeah. He gave $80 million. Wow. I mean, who among us hasn't? Right, exactly. Yo, keanu 2020 seriously yeah i i just love like i love when people are all piling on a famous person for a really positive reason right yeah it's better than the other nice yeah it really does yeah he's apparently like one of the best

parts of toy story 4 uh there's always always new news of Bill and Ted 3. Oh, yeah. You were saying that. And I think Kid Cudi's involved or something. Kid Cudi's doing the music for that, which I love. And John Wick is so fun. Yeah. See, look, just back to him as a presidential candidate.

You couldn't say he's soft on defense because there's that viral video of him clapping up all those targets with speed. Yes. Also, the movie Speed. Right. He knows how to navigate very tense situations. Well, that's a movie. And he takes the bus.

He's so down to earth. Exactly. He's like Joe Biden without the force to take the bus. He's like Joe Biden without the touching because then all those photos came out of how with fans, he has the open palm behind the back. So that's what I was doing in the picture with Jamie and Lacey. People were like, why are your hands out like that? Because I was trying to do the Keanu where you just keep your hands visible. It just looks different when you do it.
