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 is something that you think is underrated? I'm going to say teeny tiny underwear. Teeny tiny underwear. Interesting.

Do you think that's rated enough? Do you think that's underrated across the board? I think... For all people. All people. Or is this a certain aesthetic? You know what it is? Maybe I should say wearing tiny underwear.

Huh. I think we as people... You feel of it. Yeah. We as people love looking at other people in tiny underwear. Right. But I think we don't let ourselves feel the freedom of wearing tiny underwear. Okay.

Well, I think there's a thin line between comfortable tiny underwear and terribly uncomfortable. Agree. It's a thin line usually. It is a thin line. That goes right up your ass. I didn't mean it like that, but you know, we'll go there. A thin line is my favorite Speedo line.

It is. No, but like, I don't know. I guess it's also probably like part of my like journey to be more comfortable naked. Right. I want to be comfortable naked. I'm going to Greece this summer, and I'm going to try to force myself to go to a nude beach. Why?

Here's why. Being scared of being naked is one of the most irrational fears, and a lot of us have it. Naked where? In public? On public and a beach. I don't think that's irrational. I think it's... Okay, get you mean like...

I think that's a very vulnerable thing in public to be naked because you're like, people could fuck me up real bad right now. Right. Have you seen Eastern Promises? Yes, because of that movie. Wait, what's that? Oh, you would like it. It's the jaws of nudity.

Okay. It will terrify you of nudity because there is a prolonged and really just violent knife fight that happens in a locker room with both of the men are naked and just you know dicks flying all over the place and uh i just did a hand gesture of dicks flying it's not sexual it's not sexual it's just yeah what kind of nudity is your vulnerability uh That does not sound American. It's Eastern Europe. Yeah, it's Eastern Europe. It's made by, what's his name, body horror guy.

Eli Roth? No. Body horror. That sounds like those poor- David Cronenberg, yeah. Okay. Right. Okay, okay, okay.

But what I'm saying is, I agree, I want to see this movie with dongers flying. It's great. It's a great- It's a good film. It's art. Yes, it is. Yes.

And if it was filmed in Eastern Europe, I bet those very same actors trucked their way over to the Bellamy porn studio right after. It's not a feel-good movie. I believe you. I believe you. No. But what I want to say is, like, think about it. It is irrational to be scared of being naked when there's things like guns and knives and bombs in the world and we're sometimes we're more scared of just not wearing clothes yeah but like in your

house yeah i don't know anywhere i because i think i think about it we are scared to be naked and sometimes sure but i'm saying like are you scared i mean i would sound like your therapist here we're like getting to the root of it but like to me like. Are you scared, I mean I sound like your therapist here where we're like getting to the root of it, but like to me there are certain places I have no fear of being naked at all, and then other places, like in the football locker room in high school I didn't like being naked

because everyone's fucking with everybody at all times. Sure. It wasn't like I don't want people to see my dick or anything, it was just more like I'm very vulnerable in this position. Right. Because I just watched it happen. But like being at the gym now, which I don't really necessarily go to the gym

because I don't like the gym, but being naked there doesn't bother me. I'm still uncomfortable getting naked in the gym. You should – I feel like I break the sound barrier with how quickly I take off how quickly I take off the shorts and then put a towel on top. I am with you. And I'm like, this is so stupid.

We all have bodies. Everybody is stupid. Well, there is an in-between. There is that dude that's real comfortable. Oh, yeah. It's like the stage. Some yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes. It's like the stage. Some people are way too comfortable on stage.

Some people can't do it at all. And then the people that are usually good at it are somewhere in between. I like that. That's interesting. Way too. What is somebody who's way too comfortable on stage? I'm trying to. Have you ever seen like a quote unquote comedian who's just being self-indulgent

uh-huh yeah so like later in their career or or or like maybe after they get like 10 minutes yeah of decent material then they're like I'm gonna do some stretching yeah uh and finally what is a myth what's something people think is true you know to be false? That I know to be false. Hand jobs? Hand jobs. Hand jobs. Hand jobs are a myth? Hand jobs are a myth.

No, no. And I'll tell you why. I know some women that would be mad at you. I beg to differ. Because a hand job should always be part of a package, not a standalone project. A good handjob leads to a blowjob. Right. Baby sex, too.

Okay. But, like, a handjob that's just a handjob is a myth. Okay. That's crazy. No, I disagree. Okay. I think at a certain, I think from, like, 12 to 15, a handjob can be the exchange. Sure, but that speaks

to how much they suck, right? Well, I think at first they don't suck. Adult handjobs. At first, someone's touching it. Yeah, no, adult handjobs, what are you doing? That's a madness.

Yes, but I think it's an important step. Children should... Did you get a handjob at 12? I was trying to think. Be honest. Probably the first handjob I got was like, and came? 14 or 15.

Right. Okay. Wow, good for you. I dry humped, I would say, between 12 and 15, but I didn't get a handjob till later. No, you dry hump because there's no physical contact to the privates for a while. Right. And then that's the first step. And I'm just thinking like naturally.

I mean, I'm talking like gay or straight here. Right. You know what I mean? Where it's like that's that you need to learn how to handle someone else's with your hand before you put that in your mouth or inside you. Yeah. Probably a good rule to live by i had a friend i'm available for the children's classes oh my god the joke was just sitting there you guys story one time in college i had a lesbian friend and we were like hey

we don't get each other's stuff right so like So like when we were slammed. So we're like, let's get drunk. Like we're drunk. We're drunk. So let's like hook up and like kind of give each other a master class on what we're supposed to do with each other's stuff. And her first move with my dick was to treat it like a light switch. Just go up and down. I'm not kidding. I'm not kidding.

She was like, is this good? I was like, yeah. But it's not nearly as good as this. Right. Like off and on, off and on. That's so funny. She's wagging it up and down? It's hard and like kind of going up one way and touching down the other way.

Like a light switch. Right, right. And I was like, okay, yeah, that's good, but that's not where our bread is buttered. That is interesting. Yes. It's like the paint motion from Karate Kid. Oh, wax on, wax off. Yeah, paint up, paint down. Yeah, wax on, wax off.

It's circular. So yeah, hand jobs are a myth. Yeah, I'm sure dicks are counterintuitive to people who don't who don't have them well they are to us for a while right yeah yeah that's true penises are so silly they really are pretty ridiculous they're so ridiculous i'm so embarrassed yeah embarrassed that i like them yeah i remember having that conversation with one of my friends in high school. Thank God women are attracted to us. Whatever that is inside, thank God, because we look ridiculous.

Yeah. I think the flaccid penis is a real, it's God's way of checking our ego. Yes. Yeah. Just being like, you think you're cool? Okay, cool. Check this out. It grows, it grows, it grows.

Yeah, exactly. Hold on, just hold on. Let me just kind of give it a thwap. Wait, wait grows yeah exactly hold on just hold on let me just let me just kind of give it give it a thwap wait wait let me thwap it let me thwap it and everyone knows that's the funniest thing about flaccid penises everyone knows that they change shapes right when it's time to perform but we still judge each other on that shit yeah i'm talking growers crazy as someone who's seen too many penises, growers and showers are real because I have also been with gentlemen where I'm like, ooh, this is going to be a good time. And then their penis really does just get as harder but the same size.

Yeah, just stands up. Which was like, oh, that's a letdown. That's a letdown. Just stands up. It was a little bit of a letdown because I'm used to the grower mechanics where it's like, oh, this is going to get big. Was that when I was like, oh, okay. It's still going?

Are you going to pass out if we do this? All right, let's talk about Elizabeth Warren. She is surging in California. Eating away at Bernie's support, it seems. Love it. Yeah, there's a new UC Berkeley LA Times poll. So in the state of California with Democratic primary voters, Biden leads with 22%, followed by Elizabeth Warren at 18 and Sanders at 17, which is, she's actually gained ground over

Bernie, suggesting that she's eating into his support now. And then they say Harris, Kamala Harris has 13%, Buttigieg at 10%. So, yeah, I think right now that tie, like a lot of people are saying, that shows that with other recent polls, like with liberal voters especially, people are starting to put their eye on Liz Warren, the wonk, who likes to get her homework turned in on time. Yeah. Yeah.

I love Elizabeth Warren. She's, I feel like I'm an Elizabeth Warren hipster in that, like she's who I wanted to run in, what is it? 2016? 2015. Yeah.

2016. But when the primaries were coming out. Right. Because I just, I just love her. I love her ideas. I love her. Just, yeah, she's great.

Good worldview, you know, and I think just from coming from being like an economist and understanding how especially the financial markets work in this country because that's really the driver of inequality in this country, to have someone so like vividly focused on that and using that as a way to create, you know, a more equitable state. Yeah. I think is a good thing.

So we, yeah, I think, you know, we'll see what happens. I think, yeah, with,

with 2016, everyone just knew it's like, well, it's time for Hillary to get her shot. Right. By respect, respect, respect.

And then now once that went down, everyone's like, there's 40 of us. It also says she has, she has a really smart take on it, too. I feel like because in America, socialism is such a dirty word. To Republicans. To Republicans, yeah.

Or even I think some moderates and independents think that it's a dirty word because they don't fully understand what it means. But I love that she continues to come out and say that, no,'m a capitalist i'm here to fix what's broken about capitalism yeah what's exploitative about it um and to me i feel like that's kind of like a for those independents and those moderates i feel like it's it's like good phrasing yeah right that's the gateway drug to socialism yeah so i'm all for that yeah absolutely i don't think we can get capitalists hooked on socialism off the first hit. Yeah. No, no, no. But that's the other thing, too, when I hear you say that, I'm like, God, is there a way to do ethical capitalism?

I mean, like, I understand that there is if all of these things are like using policies like co-determination like they have in Germany where like your board is like half non-shareholders and people who work in the company right like that those things can work but i just i hope it's like any like super liberal candidate it's like can all of the forces that are already at work is how quickly is that going to be able to change for the better and i hope it i mean shit if you have the the right leader and people behind it hopefully it can but, we certainly haven't tried ethical capitalism. No, we've tried fuck you capitalism, and we've perfected it. It might be worth a shot. All right, guys. So we have learned that Leonardo DiCaprio is more influential than we had ever dreamed.

had ever dreamed uh we we've talked before on the daily zeitgeist about a uh a rumor that goes around uh certain corridors in hollywood that uh leonardo dicaprio is known to make love by putting on noise canceling headphones uh sitting on his back and vaping uh well you can't call that making love yes the second you introduce vaping and headphones, dude, it's fucking right. He fucks with noise canceling headphones on and vapes. Yes. Anything in the noise cancelings music.

They say MGMT MGMT. Shock me like an electric eel. Say baby girl. I mean, I think Leo was there. Yeah. Um, the, is this from women who have been? Yeah.

So this is from a study from some place called Tick Pick. Right. And now. That story, the Leonardo DiCaprio story is not from that. It is just from people who have had sex. A rumor that's been around forever. Yes. But there's, so that's what it feeds into this story, right?

So Tick Pick, they did a quote unquote study. I'm not sure how sound this is, but again, this is a secondary podcast and this is all for, Ooh. We make sound puns. Exactly. Um, so anyway, what they did was they said they server surveyed a thousand 10 people online via Amazon's mechanical Turk. I don't know what that is of the 1,010 participants pulled.

Mechanical Turk is the dude who was in a robot costume who beat people at chess back in the day. Oh, right. And who now is at Comic-Con. That's a great booth. And Mechanical Turk. Wow, there he is. We're just so illiterate of history that people are just dying.

They're like, oh my God, this robot just kicked my ass in the chest. Holy shit. Whoa. 54% of respondents were male, 45% were female, 0.4% identified as non-binary. Additionally, 59.2% of the sample identified as millennials, 28% were Gen X, 10% were boomers, and the remaining 1% were Gen Z.

Or the silent generation. Is the silent generation older than baby boomers? Wait, did you just say Gen Z has slept with Leo? No, no, no. These are people who actually responded to this. No, these are just respondents. The thousand people who responded to this. Oh, yeah.

I guess that's what they call the greatest generation is the silent generation. The silent generation. I didn't know that. I only know what Tom Brokaw said when I came up with what they call the greatest generation is the silent the silent generation i didn't know that i only know what tom brokaw said right when i came up with the idea um so yeah these are the see there's some of the stats that they have now we're taking this with entire fucking bowl of salt uh but they said songs of satisfaction 50 percent of respondents were satisfied with their sex life overall now Now, breaking it down by genre. Country music fans, 66.3% were satisfied with their sex life.

The most satisfied. Blues, 64%. And they said at 16 minutes on average, blues fans lasted the longest in bed. Wow. Jazz at 63.2. Give it up to Muddy Waters. Right. They say, another stat, hip-hop rap fans least likely to give oral sex.

Yeah, duh. Not true. Too busy. Oh, really? I'm eating it all. Hometown buffet. Aren't you mixed, though? Yeah, but that doesn't mean I can't like hip-hop.

I know. I just want to make sure. Oh, no, no. Hey, look. Eatin' ain't cheatin', is what they say. If you're MC Chris. That's an MC Chris album, okay? I don't cheat. They say,

nearly one in four folk fans had cried during sex. Does that make sense? I don't know. I don't want to jump to stereotypes, but I guess someone is so overcome. I'm hoping that's what it is, because I've been in situations where people are emotionally overcome or overwhelmed by orgasm. Can you sing a folk song? Give me an example.

When you're down in trouble. Oh, yeah. And you need a helping hand. Nothing, nothing's going right. Yeah, I mean, if you're listening to music while you're having sex, and that's the music you're listening to. Yeah, I wonder if, but are you crying because of the music you fuck to? Are you crying because of the act?

Like, are they trying to say folk? Like, that's what I'm saying. Like, what is causing the cry? Emotions are honestly okay, I think. Yeah, no. Actually, maybe that's the angle we should be taking is that let's see what crime means in this context, and maybe it is. That's what I'm trying to figure out.

If it's the music, I'm like, damn, you were really feeling that whatever album. I don't have experience with women crying, but they're always laughing when we have sex. I think that's cool too. That's because you're playing the Dane Cook album when you have sex. Which is ironically called Harmful If Swallowed.

Laughing and pointing? Some other facts. Talking about positions. But people are going to want to know who's the least sexually satisfied. Okay, so. Pop music. Oh, yeah. Pop music fans, 57.2% were the least.

They were at the bottom. Right. K-pop? Just pop. Just like if you like that pop music, that top 40 bullshit. Pop music? Just pop. Just like if you like that pop music, that top 40 bullshit. Pop music? Talk about.

And so now we're talking about respondent's favorite sexual position. Overall, doggy style. Yeah. Okay. Then missionary, then cowgirl, spooning, reverse cowgirl. By the highest percentage of music genre fans, the most consistent doggy style for hip hop and rap fans. Okay. Great album also.

Shout out to Snoop Dogg. For a boring ass missionary, 32. hip hop and rap fans. Okay. Great album also. Shout out to Snoop Dogg. For a boring ass missionary, 32.9% pop music fans. Listen, I kind of still like missionary. Keep going. Okay. I mean, look, you can spice it up. It's all up to you.

Listen, I like to have my noise canceling headphones on and I like to vape. Yeah. And just blow it right into their face. And blindfolds. Yeah. Yeah. And just complete sensory deprivation. Put on that new Carly Yeah. And just complete, yeah, sensory deprivation. Put on that new Carly Rae Jepsen album. Yeah, sensory deprivation.

Just a little hole in the top of my sensory deprivation tank. One thing I did find interesting. So when it comes to percentage using contraceptives during sex by preferred music genre, the safest group, heavy metal fans. Yeah. Huh. 65%. Then indie rock.

Then hip hophop then alternative the lowest percentage of uh people using contraception during sex country fans 49.9 percent america yeah yeah they they want to multiply baby multiply that's right and then the damning one as we said 17 have their airpods in while having sex yeah what 17 of respondents said that they have had the sex while wearing airpods yes now i do wonder if that is just forgetting to take them out well they said it could be for they didn't even have they didn't ask too much for a reason but it seemed like they were pointing to the fact that it was people who were- Come better? Well, no.

Maybe they're listening to different music than their partner. I could see it being an intimate thing if one of you has one AirPod and the other has the other. But you're saying same song. Just put the fucking stereo on. Same song. But that's the thing. That's what the report is saying is that people have found what works for them. Right.

Oh, is AirPod fucking? And now this whole year, or this whole year, our whole lives are like, put some music on for you both. And it's like, some people are like, I don't like that music. Yeah. Right. And so they want to listen to their own and still have the feelings. So it's very her-like.

Yes. Like that distance. It reminds me of that scene in uh the third black mirror the entire history of you where like they're like having sex and like reliving their hottest night right but then you cut back to them like having sex and it's they're just like yeah their eyes are like just like just the grossest like most... Because they're not accepting who they are now in the moment. Anyways, I will just say, if you find yourself holding up one finger to your partner

and saying, sorry, go for Brent while taking a phone call... What? Nothing, man. No, literally nothing, man. Bro. All right, bro, gotta go. All right, what's up, girl? Miles, you're gross. You'retin', man. Bro. All right, bro, gotta go. All right, what's up, girl? Miles, you're gross. You're a gross man.

I know, and I fuck with AirPods in. The thing is, they're not even AirPods, they're wired headphones. I was gonna say, Miles probably does a little asphyxiation of himself with his wireless. It's his orange dangles in their face. I'm sorry, the cord keeps getting in your mouth.

No way is that person apologizing for that. And no, I won't stop listening to Toto Africa. It helps you set a baseline rhythm. I love the way you move. If you want me to last for more than one minute. Zeitgang, if you like to make love to music, let us know what song. Oh song oh look i'll tell you right now d'angelo voodoo that whole album okay just fuck just fuck right now to it everybody now

right now put d'angelo voodoo on my goodness your blood will boil out your skin also if you had sex listening to this episode about yes having sex Please turn it off now and watch. Now I'm going to fuck it up for you. Oh yeah. Now I'm in your room with you. Yeah, that is weird. Could you imagine people fucking the podcast?

Yeah, that's probably happens. Yeah. Let me, let me, let me figure out what's going on here. Yo, if you fuck with a podcast playing music,

like, yeah, but like, that's like, if you, I mean, you're absorbing information still playing music, like, yeah. But like, that's like if, I mean. You're absorbing information still? Yeah.

Genetic information. Genetic information. That dioxyl ribosomal acid. Talk about guanidine, adenine, cytosine, and tyrosine. Letters that spell Gattaca also. Coincidence? I don't know, maybe. So I think when you think about a podcast,

that's like passive entertainment. I get it like, yo, the Netflix and chill thing. That's more of just an entry point into lovemaking. If you're both listening to the same podcast, not as bad, I think. Yeah, but what would... Could you imagine, though? Here's my take. Everybody's heads are shaking.

I think you could be listening to something. I think I have... What about audiobooks? You know what I mean? People get down doing a lot of stuff and I think podcasts are a part of the norm now yeah

and I do think that might be something sexy what she said and I just wrote down Chernobyl podcast okay maybe that one yeah that one's fair

it's very and it really expands on the source material I can only become aroused if I'm listening to Peter Sagal's voice oh yeah so either

wait wait don't tell me or the Chernobyl podcast wait wait wait wait, wait, don't tell me or the Chernobyl podcast. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait, don't tell me. Don't go again. Wait, wait, wait. Don't touch it. I'm going to take a breath. I'm going to breathe it out.

All right, guys. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th 2017 was murdered.

I know I'll go down in history.

People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is braggadocious. She is unapologetically black.

I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better listen to the making of a rivalry caitlin clark versus angel reese on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast and we're back all right guys let's talk about war. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility

for a U.S. surveillance drone that was shot down, and they claim it entered Iranian airspace. The U.S. says it was still an international airspace, and the U.S. general who commented on this said that it was 38 kilometers away from Iranian airspace, which seems like the sort of thing that we should be able to independently verify. 38 kilometers is a lot of kilometers. They say they have proof. Right.

But again, regardless of what either side is saying, these are just everybody's fucking with each other in little ways. So now the U.S US will fly their drones close saying we got our eye on you or whatever. But also I'm sure close enough to try and get it shot down. And then the US can point. It's like you see what happens. I mean like they're just shooting stuff down. I don't know guys. I don't know if the rest of the world is seeing this.

Meanwhile like anyone who would even think to align with the US. I don't know except israel except israel and saudi arabia right they're they're ready but i think you know again without europe uh it could be very difficult i mean again it's just a definitely another escalation to something that is so unnecessarily tense right um and you know i think you know when you hear stuff like lindsey graham being like well if they if they get uh you know, I think, you know, when you hear stuff like Lindsey Graham being like, well, if they, if they get, uh, you know, they start building their, their nuclear program

up, like all bets or everything's off the table or on the table, I don't know, whatever the turn of phrase he used. What was interesting though, is like right after Trump first just tweeted, it's like Iran made a very bad mistake. Right. And then met with Justin Trudeau, who i'm guessing was like don't you fucking even try something dude please no one wants this uh and then they were asking when like what what his thoughts were trump said i find it hard i find it hard to believe it was

intentional if you want to know the truth yeah i think that it could have been somebody who was loose and stupid that did it so his response to, what do you think of this is almost that he doesn't want to further the narrative that this was an intentional act of aggression. Right. Which sounds because it sounds like from what we've heard him say, he doesn't want armed conflict. But then you have these maniacos by the name of Bolton and Pompeo who are like, yeah, like Bolton just wants to see Iran just kneecapped. And then Pompeo's like, I think Jesus will come back if there's war over there. So he does believe in a religion, right? That wants there to be like thinks that if there's a war in the Middle East that will bring upon us revelations.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Cool. It's in the Bible, right will bring upon us revelations. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool. It's in the Bible right there. Yeah, I just wanted to make sure. Yeah. I just wanted to make sure he knew that that's what's happening. Do you know?

Yeah. I mean, he even said, like, that God may have sent Trump to save Israel from Iran. Like, he said that out loud. And, yeah, he fucks with the rapture. Right. So there's that but you know i think what we'll see is hopefully the more of a diplomatic pursuit because i mean it was based on trump's response he does not want smoke of any nature which is very odd but it seems like this is what the pattern

if we sort of compare it to other things, like when it came to North Korea, he was like, oh, you better watch out. Right. Because I've got a button too. Right. And it's a bigger button. And then all that for like a fake talk that went nowhere.

Right. So if maybe with this, we'll just end up with the same Iran deal that he just blew up. Right. And they'll be like, yeah, see, I got him back to the table. But it'll be called like the Trump deal or something. Yeahan deal to a rather erectile boogaloo um yeah it is a weird just

feeling to not be diametrically opposed to what he's doing like he has this it usually seems to me like i usually have the feeling that he has thought through what i want and done the opposite like i don't i don't think that's probably causally how he's coming up with his policy but that generally seems to be how he uh how we end up and this time just by accident i guess guess, he doesn't want armed conflict. Right. It's a weird feeling. Yeah, he— I mean—

He'll totally fuck it up. He also was careful to point out that he wasn't being pushed by people in the administration towards a more aggressive approach. Or he denied that he was constantly being pestered by hawks. But I see who's in that room right i don't i don't believe that i mean he's he did campaign like he just didn't like war so i think that's the one consistent thing but at the end of the day you don't know what all these other people are going to do plus you have an environment where he's increasingly probably becoming more erratic based on the things that are going on with like the muller report

and impeachment looming and his re-election that could be bad like i don't know what other you know he might pull some shit so i don't know where it goes but yes i was surprised to hear him say like i don't think it was intentional when they're like it flew into our airspace and we shot it the fuck down right but this is also part of too like in general, Iran has a different view of what their airspace is in that region or what area they do control in the region. So maybe they have competing definitions of what international airspace was and that's what happened. Right. But either way, that was, I think, $130 million drone. Just think of, that's another thing that I was like 130 million dollars 130 million dollar war toy yeah well i'm not gonna say he definitely has

my vote but uh you know uh you're not gonna write him off quite yet sure that's right what is a myth what's something people think is true you know to be well did you know that you know to be false. Well, did you know that Toy Story is not about a story that gets bitten by a radioactive toy? The reveal of the fourth part of her personality. There it is. The fourth and final. Final form.

I've been watching the Toy Stories with my son because he's going to see Toy Story 4 while I'm out of town this weekend. So I wanted to get him caught up. And I'm also a little bit mad that I'm missing his first movie-going experience. Oh, it's his first one in the theater? It's his first in-theater experience. Where are you going? Well, where is he going? El Capitan, I think.

Oh. Yeah. Thank you for respecting the name. El Capitan. Yes. But yeah, he's going to see Toy Story 4. So we've been watching the franchise. We're through the first two.

I realized I either... I usually remember where I was whenever I saw a movie. I usually remember where I was whenever I saw a movie. Like, I just, that's, like, the weird thing that my brain, like, remembers. But I don't think I saw Toy Story 2 or I saw it, I realized yesterday that I saw it during, like, a time when I was, like, drinking too much. Right, right. Because I just couldn't remember it at all. That's funny because you would have been an adult and you're like, I just put fucking soy sauce on. Exactly.

It came out in 1999, which was a bad year for me. So, yeah. A lot was going on, man. We were pretty panicked about Y2K also. Yeah, yeah. I had a lot of stress. I'm not going to blame it all on Y2K, but it certainly didn't help.

Caitlin, are you a fan? Are you excited for Toy Story 4? I am, yeah. I'm seeing it. I mean, as listeners, are you a fan? Are you excited for Toy Story 4? I am, yeah. I'm seeing it. I mean, as listeners, as you're listening to this, I'm seeing it right now. Wow. No matter when you listen to this, I am seeing Toy Story 4.

Oh, no. What a horrible curse that you put on yourself. It just plays over and over in my mind. Anytime anyone listens to this for years, you just automatically suddenly have to start watching Toy Story 4. Whenever you see me. I hear it's like David Lynchian. Like this one's like weird.

Yeah. Oh. Well, because it like asks a strange question. Like there are all these weird like philosophical questions that are created by the first movie. Like what happens to toys after like they go to a landfill and then they're just frozen there sentient like looking at a rotting banana peel for the rest of their lives like that is a nightmarish hell and the movie the franchise

has been like yeah let's go after that let's make that the theme of Toy Story 3 it's like what the fuck but this one I guess is around the theme of like what how do you go like what makes a thing a toy enough to become sentient so they like put googly eyes on a fork yeah and then like they're like that's sentient but it's like a freak it's just like so he like doesn't want to live it's like a freak it's just like so yeah he like doesn't want to live he's like kill me oh god kill me so they've developed a god complex yeah but it's so strange that that like that is a dark implication of the universe that only adults i'm curious to know what your son's first take will be after seeing that like what the question will be because i'm sure that'll be interesting

for a child to see and try and process. Well, we're going to watch Toy Story 3 tonight as you're listening to this, guys. We're going to be watching Toy Story 3, and that one is very dark. It's a dark film. So yeah, I'm curious what he's going to think, but loves the movies to this point.

They're great. Yeah. You know, Toy Story 2 very clearly takes place in a pre-911 world so i had to kind of explain that to him i was like you know what you're not seeing here uh we haven't lost our innocence he's like actually honey take that dvd out put in loose change exactly he boy's got to learn before he wants to it's weird, man. All those Saudis got out right away, huh? Yeah, yeah. What you think about Building 7, boy?

But, I mean, the climax of the movie takes place in an airport, like, as luggage is going through all these trains. And it's just, like, you know, so innocent. Yeah, yeah. So easy for them to sneak around in an airport back then. Exactly. Anyways. Man, remember when airports are easy to sneak around in an airport. Exactly. Anyways. Man, remember when airports are easy to sneak around in? Those were the days.

Wow. Wow. We've been spending too much time around each other. Miles, I think it's time for you to leave for a week. Okay, I will. All right. Well, after this episode. Okay.

So Cuba Gooding Jr. Now we get to my sweet spot cctv footage uh cuba gooding jr is in trouble uh he's been accused of groping a woman at a bar um and there's footage of the interaction that is just very strange um it doesn't look i i from what i saw it looks like the biggest mistake he made was possibly touching this woman on her leg so people who have uh analyzed it cctv footage experts are saying that you can see him like reach over and touch her chest. Oh. Yeah. So he's reaching over his girlfriend to do it.

So it's very strange. And then there's this dude who walks up in the middle of it and like just starts wagging his dick around. Well, not like literally. It's like he's kind of dancing. He's got honey in his hips. Right. He's got honey in his hips right he's got honey in his hips he's he's putting his dick like within inches of cuba and his girlfriend's face and then he like grabs cuba by the neck and is like giving him sweet wispies in the ear i don't know what they were talking about the whole video just looks like a

bunch of drunk motherfuckers yeah they seem very seem very, very drunk. They look hammered. But yeah, we'll see. I know his lawyer, Cuba Gooding Jr.'s lawyer, I saw him make a comment. He's like, this is unbelievable. There's nothing that would suggest that my client did anything and blah, blah, blah. I mean, we'll see what that video shows. Yeah, there's another angle.

So there's one where you can see the actual event that's very grainy and from a distance and then there's one that's closer that doesn't have a good angle on the actual event but you see the people like walking up and walking away from the event and in that video you can tell two things cuba gooding jr is fucked up looks real drunk. And also, he's wearing cargo pants, which... Oh, yeah. He's guilty. But you got that from looking at the cargo pants that he was fucked up.

Right. You're like, he got cargo... Oh, he's fucked up. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It wasn't anything else. It was the cargo pants. That man got drunk.

Or that man got dressed while drunk. Oh, yeah. He got drunk, then he got dressed. Right. But cargoes are coming back. Are drunk. Yeah. He got drunk. Then he got dressed. Right. Yeah. But cargoes are coming back. Are they? Yeah. I keep seeing them shits like people are like, yeah, these are cool cargoes.

Pants or shorts? Well, no. I've seen pants. Interesting. And I've also seen cargo shorts. I just don't like these fashion cycles. Yeah. I wish I kept all my clothes from when I was a kid.

Not that I could even wear them. Yeah. I feel like cargo shorts are less forgivable. Neither are forgivable, but cargo shorts to me should not exist. Yeah. I mean, when I was wearing cargo shorts, it was a dark time. Yeah. For all of us. I used to wear them too, and it was a dark time for all of us. I agree. Basically, basic khaki cargo shorts?

Absolutely. Yeah. I think that's all I wore for like an entire summer. Everyone did. Yeah, for sure. Everybody did. I had some camouflage. I had a pair of camouflage ones. No jeans though? No denim? No denim. No jargos? No. I never wore jargos. Me neither. You never wore jargos?

I never wore jargos. I never owned jargos. Me neither. Okay. You can't prove otherwise because those pictures have been destroyed. Oh, I got so excited. I got an email from taco bell and i thought it was about going to the taco bell hotel no i fucked up and now i'm just on their fucking waiting list oh no it says give dad something he wants oh i feel bad i'm sorry i had to interrupt i for a moment thought we were going to the taco bell hotel in palm springs we're really trying to go. Oh, man. Yum Brands, please holler at us. Is it open?

No. No, it's just in the planning stages. It's going to be open in August, but they were saying in early June, the reservation system would open up or people would begin to be able to get reservations. Sorry to take that somewhere completely else. That's all right. You got to know what your brand is about, weed and Taco Bell. I have a question.

What is Cuba Gooding Jr.'s best movie? Boys in the Hood. Is it? Yeah. I think so. That or Jerry Maguire. Jerry Maguire. I'd say Radio.

And we're back. Chernobyl. We're all fans here. We've all seen Chernobyl now. Miles, you got around. I'm so sorry. Look, it was heavy. Still tried to get into when they see us.

I'm sorry. I was talking to my dad. We were both like, I gotta let that one rest for a second. Chernobyl though, my goodness. It was one of those things I was worried it was just going to be a bummer it is right however it's about sort of this you sort of get hooked on the pursuit of the truth in what had actually occurred because they presented in a way where like again like they even said in the podcast my idea was some shit went down something

exploded everything got all messed up and radioactive, and people had to leave. Right. And that was it. I knew nothing else. Yeah. And then when you sort of break it down, you're like, oh, goodness. Yeah. So many people had to go through such unnecessary shit for no good reason. And to be honest, a wake-up call into understanding the plants around you. Right.

To be completely honest, to understand as a person living anywhere near any type of plant, power plant, nuclear plant, to understand a little bit more and what your surroundings are. What the potential is for something to go wrong. Yeah. Yeah. Because we so blindly live there and it's usually cheaper real estate, to be completely honest with you. And that is for the reason. And then to not know what is there and around you. And today our power lines, like people not knowing that too much too. It's weird. And I think that show and the podcast do a really great job of guiding you through it yeah it's wild well anyways uh speaking of pursuit of the truth right uh we're gonna get i forgot a second whack at the chernobyl disaster

uh this time not from hbo but from russia uh russian television the russian state tv yeah russian state tv basically have they ever put out a show before i think so yeah it's called Russia, Russian television. Like state TV. Yeah, Russian state TV, basically. Have they ever put out a show before? I think so, yeah. It's called Look Away Now. News what? No, no, no, no, no. So there is a conspiracy theory in Russia that Chernobyl was caused by a CIA agent who went in and basically caused the problem.

So the conspiracy theory, I think, is that there were actually nuclear weapons at Chernobyl and they sabotaged the nuclear weapons facility. So then in that version, the Russian state recognizes that Chernobyl was a nuclear weapons facility? Yes, in this version. Hilarious. Oh, so it was a power plant and they had a little side hustle.

They were enriching uranium for warheads. Right, right. They are admitting to that? Well, they have to create. That's the only way this theory works, right? Well, the thing was we were making weapons there and that's why the cia came not because they were like they didn't release the name of the cia agent they don't have that they just okay they don't have i i think the cia agent is made up fictional character but it's interesting because pravda is the uh russia state run tv

network and uh media outlet and they've published like several negative articles about the HBO Chernobyl and are like really not happy with that but then like the rest of the medium Russia it's not like everybody in Russia is like fuck you HBO like the rest of the medium Russia's like wow it's really good and right their attention to detail is amazing because they got like all these little aspects of life in the Soviet Union. Right. But the Russia state TV still not having it, man.

Well, right. And it's one of those things, too, where the effects of it were so widespread that unless you were just a true Soviet, you might not have been willing to just swallow the explanations, especially when you saw how many people who were affected by the radiation. Right. And be like, oh, it's chemical stuff. I don't know because I know a lot. OK. And be like, oh, it's chemical stuff? I don't know, because I know a lot of, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, yeah, well, I mean, is it in production yet? It's in production. Do they have a writer and a director attached? Yes. Do they have talent? They have a director. Julie Louis-Dreyfus. And she has promised to tell the real story of what actually went down.

Yeah, it will be Julia Louis-Dreyfus. And Steven Seagal. Yeah. Yeah, I bet she's in it. He's going to have to be. Yeah, yeah. Oh Julia Louis-Dreyfus. And Steven Seagal. Yeah. Yeah, I bet you he's in it. He's going to have to be. Yeah, yeah. Oh, he'll play the CIA agent? Probably.

Do you think he would be willing to play himself like that? Not to play himself, but to make himself the evildoer in this? I don't know. Has he played a bad guy? He has, right? He is a bad guy. I know, but that's the thing. That's like Trump would never want to be in a... That's why he was such a

bad host of SNL is they were like, okay, so you're evil. And he's like, what? He was great in the lobby of Home Alone. Right. Exactly. Yeah. Oh, he was so good in that. Well, you know, Steven Seagal, please, you know, stand up. Stand up and wipe off your pain. In your own time. Yeah.

Alright, that's gonna do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please like and review the show if you like the show. It means the world to Miles. He needs your validation, folks. I hope you're having a great weekend, and I will talk to you Monday. Bye. Thank you. Crooks Everywhere unnerves the plot to murder a one-woman WikiLeaks.
