Presented by Elf Beauty, 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.
Starting point is 00:02:22 So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist what is something you think is overrated um mansions you like a more a cozy home i don't know why anybody needs all those rooms it's just more rooms that like an intruder could be in right let's be honest if you have a mansion, how do you know that it's empty? Yeah. When you're in there alone. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Because you're alone. And like, maybe if you had like 30 people that lived in your house, you need 30 rooms, but otherwise, why do you need all those rooms? Nobody needs them.
Starting point is 00:02:56 No. It's to put space between you and the spouse that you despise. Yeah. And in which case, you know, get a condo. Get your own.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Get two condos. Yeah. Is this something case, you know, get a condo. Get your own. Get two condos. Yeah. Is this something you're experiencing right now? You just bought a mansion. Well, yeah, I've been sitting in my mansion. And I'm like, why do I need all these rooms? Like, why do I need a movie theater here? Like, I can go see another, I can go to another place to see a movie.
Starting point is 00:03:18 I don't know. No, not at all. I do just think about that. Like, you know, once this career of being a drag queen that talks about ghosts for a living really takes off and it's time to buy a mansion. Should I or should I give it all to people that need it? Well, you should buy a haunted one. Yes. That feels right.
Starting point is 00:03:36 A haunted mansion. I was going to say. Because then it's kind of occupied. Yeah, there you go. Roommates. There you go. Yeah, there you go. Roommates.
Starting point is 00:03:43 There you go. Yeah, I do feel like the bigger the house, the spookier it is if haunted, unless it's like a modern, ugly monstrosity. The best ghost mansion is the Winchester Mystery House. Right. That will not be surpassed. Yeah. And that's got a lot of rooms. A lot.
Starting point is 00:04:00 But they're to confuse the ghosts somehow. But it just seems like it's more places for the ghosts to go. That's right. Yes. But it was built, she built it continuously to confuse ghosts. And there's doors that open to nowhere, so the ghosts will be like, whoa! Yeah, wait a minute! The ghosts will fall and break their necks or something.
Starting point is 00:04:18 But also, are these ghosts that can't walk through walls? I don't think, I think, I don't know. She had a very specific set of rules in mind as she was building the- walk through walls? I don't think I don't that's I think I don't know. She had a very specific set of rules in mind as she was building the
Starting point is 00:04:29 These are things that I talk about on my podcast Ghosted by Roz Dress for Less available everywhere. We talk about things like this like I don't know
Starting point is 00:04:37 what ghosts can do and can't do and you know people always think like oh when you die like that's the outfit you're gonna wear
Starting point is 00:04:44 for eternity but like I don't know if that's true like I oh, when you die, like that's the outfit you're going to wear for eternity. But like, I don't know if that's true. Like, I'm always trying to figure these out. Do you do you appear to others as yourself when you die or perhaps as your younger self? And if your younger self, how is that chosen? What incarnation of you it is? What if you were a ghost baby, even if you died as an adult? Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:05:02 I just OK. Someone just sent me a story about this guy, okay, I think the story was his grandpa had visited him like as a full body apparition spirit wearing this suit jacket, this tux jacket that he had, the grandpa had gifted this guy that wrote to me. So he had the jacket like in his closet
Starting point is 00:05:21 but he saw his grandpa wearing that jacket. So it's like, can you be, can clothes be a ghost even if it's not, like the clothes aren't dead and buried in the ground? I'm real confused. Yeah, there's a lot of questions for this guy's dead grandpa. Your search history may be about the secret life of Alex Mack, but my search history is going to be, can clothes be a ghost after this episode? Because that is a great question. Totally. So we were talking before we started recording, are you a believer in the paranormal? Totally. I think it's just fun. Like, I don't know. I don't take my life too seriously.
Starting point is 00:05:57 I wear huge wigs for a living. I'm just someone that likes to have a good time. It would be funny if you were like, that's ridiculous. Ghosts? I know. That's where I draw the line. But yeah, I think it's fun just to believe that anything is possible. Why not while we're here? Right. You know?
Starting point is 00:06:17 And I think I've heard a lot of people that don't believe in ghosts that listen to my show, and they just enjoy listening to people that believe what they're saying. When they talk about these experiences, they truly believe it happened. Right. And whether you believe it or not, like, it's still, it's a reason we watch horror movies.
Starting point is 00:06:32 It's like, we just enjoy listening to people being spooked. Yeah. Yeah. I'm scared right now. Even people who say, like, I wouldn't say I believe in ghosts, like, actively,
Starting point is 00:06:44 but I am still scared of them. I'm still scared, spooked out by creepy ghost stories. I had to explain the concept of a ghost to an eight-year-old whose family is not at all religious. So I told her that I had dug up a dead dog in my yard, which is true. I found the bones of a dog that somebody had buried. I mean, this house is extremely old.
Starting point is 00:07:07 And they're just bones, and there's not that many of them. But she was like, what did you do with the bones? And I was like, well, I'm going to rebury it so that its spirit could be at peace or whatever. And she was like, what's a spirit? And I was like, it's a ghost. And she was like, well, a ghost can't do anything. So could a ghost dog bite you?
Starting point is 00:07:23 And I was like, I guess not. And she was like, then who cares right the corporeality and you know the difference between like a flesh body and a spirit body these are all like very new concepts to her yeah she was like how does it haunt you if it can't touch you and i was like in your mind i know that's like it's one of these things where no one knows the answers so i mean all you can do is definitely not dumb kids yeah exactly so i don't know you can just speculate what things are but i just have so many questions all the time and it's just i don't know it's fun i just think it's fun are you a horror fan love it yeah yeah we're having some a good moment right now there's like a lot of horror movies coming out i feel like it's starting to
Starting point is 00:08:02 vary up i i used to wonder like why there weren't horror movies set in the city. They were always set in the suburbs and rural. And I think that's true of America, and maybe that's because that's where most of the evil shit in American history was done, was on farms and in the woods against Native Americans or something, deep in the history. Whereas British horror movies often take place in the woods against Native Americans or something, like deep in the history, whereas like British horror movies often take place in the city. But I don't- I thought they were all in the moors.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Yeah, maybe they are. I thought the ghosts hung out on moors mostly. But like there's no- There aren't that many haunted beaches in US horror, are there? That you know of. Right. I kind of think every beach is haunted.
Starting point is 00:08:46 A lot of people die in the ocean. Oh, could you imagine you're swimming and a ghost grabs your leg? Absolutely. I imagine. That's why I don't go in the water.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Yeah. That's why I do go in the water. You want to get filled up by a ghost. Yeah. I mean, we even have stories of people having sex with ghosts.
Starting point is 00:09:03 So, like we've had it on my podcast. Kind of a lot of people having sex with ghosts. So, like, we've had it on my podcast. Kind of a lot of people have sex with ghosts. It turns out, yeah. I think that was Dan Aykroyd's original idea for Ghostbusters. I did read that. The blowjob scene seems like it's, like, completely tacked on and stupid to us. But, like, his initial idea was, like, what if I got blown by a ghost?
Starting point is 00:09:21 Like, everyone's like, whoa. Okay. Premise, I get blown by a ghost. It's called Nutbusters. And then he's like, i get blown by a ghost it's called nut busters ghost blowers no let's revamp this for children it was initially called ghost smashers uh and then they called it ghost busters to make room for the nut busting puns probably all right guys let's talk about the bachelorette. Speaking of punching down. So we're going to bring in Super Producer Anna Hosnier, our
Starting point is 00:09:50 Bachelorette specialist. Because this is what we're talking about. I don't want to lie. I don't want to say that this is what is being talked about in the Daily Zeitgeist writers room. When Super Producer Anna Hosnier gets in in the morning,
Starting point is 00:10:07 she and Super Producer DJ Danil are talking about The Bachelorette and what happened. And it seems like there was some big news. You guys, this is devastating for all of us, obviously. You know, frontrunner, current frontrunner, we still have a little bit of time to go, but potentially top fiver, Jed Wyatt, turns out he had a girlfriend this whole time. Devastating. How do we know that he had a girlfriend?
Starting point is 00:10:41 Because the girlfriend felt wronged and sold her story to PeopleMag as you do when you want to come for your reality TV boyfriend. As you do. So he is making it through the gauntlet of Bachelorette candidacy. He's a singer-songwriter
Starting point is 00:11:00 from Nashville. He apparently told his girlfriend that he's going on the show because it'd be good for his career it's huge the you know the amount of attention it'll bring him and i guess she was like all right babe like right i believe you which is like oh honey this is a bad this is no never date a guy who's gonna go on a reality show specifically about falling in love and expect them to come back and honor your relationship. It's just not going to work out.
Starting point is 00:11:28 So it's just very devastating because he he was a fan favorite. You know, he was always very he's very charismatic. He seemed like down to earth, like he would make fun of himself. He was he didn't seem like he took himself too seriously. And now this is a blow. This is a blow to Bachelor Nation. Maybe he wasn't taking that relationship very seriously. No, clearly not.
Starting point is 00:11:50 Because apparently when he came back, he ghosted her. Oh. And that's when she was like, revenge is on. Like an opinion. Now, I just want to bring to light that they were allegedly dating for four months. Four months. So was this a boo or was this a boo take all? Okay?
Starting point is 00:12:07 I don't know. Because, like, it's hard to say somebody's in a relationship. As a con artist, it's hard to say that someone's in a relationship because, look, you can't ghost on a marriage. You know what I mean? Like, you can, but there's paperwork. You know what I mean? There's a paper trail. We're going to know that you signed some shit and said you was in a relationship with this person.
Starting point is 00:12:25 But if I say we're not together no more, guess what? I can just stop talking to my boyfriend tomorrow and then I don't have a boyfriend no more. Right. That's how boyfriends work. Yeah. By definition. By definition. If I just don't see him and speak to him anymore, I don't even have to give him an explanation.
Starting point is 00:12:40 We're not together. Right. So I think that Jed, Jedediah. Assuming it's Jedediah jedediah in reality what else could it be i think that he was single as a dollar bill when he went on the bachelorette and this girl i mean i guess y'all were together the night before that don't mean nothing yeah right but i'm glad that she's getting her story to people mag i hope that she doctored all these text messages and this is not even real and i hope that she's getting her story to people, Mag. I hope that she doctored all these text messages and that this is not even real.
Starting point is 00:13:05 And I hope that she has a singing career that jumps off right after. Yeah, she's also a singer-songwriter. Is she also a singer as well? Yes. This is juicy. This is now Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:16 She got to come out with some song, like The Bachelor. I don't even know. There's a song there, girl. Right, yeah. Will you accept this rose? Right, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I went on his Spotify and he's a horrible there girl right yeah yeah will you accept this rose right yeah yeah i went on his spotify and he's a horrible musician so i was like what did you think was gonna happen
Starting point is 00:13:30 he thought this show was gonna give you talent oh everybody's a horrible musician until you get in the right hand yeah that's true he just needs some auto-tune and some little nas x right as we'll learn later you can't even get a hollywood uh star if you're a reality show so he just dq'd himself from having a career in many ways by going on the bachelor um but i don't yeah i agree with lacy's analysis that like this doesn't necessarily mean he had a girlfriend while he was on the show okay but there is information that apparently they went to the bahamas before he left and he said i love you oh now we're into the I love you
Starting point is 00:14:06 you know how many people I told I love because they took me to the Bahamas I told everybody I loved them when I went to the Bahamas come on now we can still take I mean assuming the text messages aren't doctored that is weird of him to be like I'm just going
Starting point is 00:14:22 on this to promote I mean that's just a douchey thing to say. When I come back, it'll just make us stronger. This is just good for my brand. It's on her. I know. The minute he said he was going on the show, you're like, oh, we're done then. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Well, he also said that he was tired of his daddy having to pay his rent. Okay. So he had to. So he's going to be an independent talent show man. Right, exactly. I have to go be independent on this reality show. Right. I'm sure your dad is thrilled.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Okay, I'm going to have ABC pay my rent. But we don't know how it ends. He might win. That's the thing. I would love it if he won. We don't know. So the bachelorette is somewhere just being like, mother fucker. If he won, she is strangling him to death right now.
Starting point is 00:15:10 And he will be dead soon. We'll know if he dies in the next few days that he won. Because she's actually crazy. She's known for being crazy. She calls herself Hannah Beast. I love it. She's the most fun Bachelorette I think there's been in a while. And she's such a significant reflection of the times changing for women.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Because to get to see her just be making out and just riding on everybody. She's also very horny. Like a pony, honey. She's just out at the carnival on a little pony ride. Like everybody, she's on them. I love it. She'll go and pick another guy like, come on down. And no one's slut shaming her.
Starting point is 00:15:42 At least I haven't seen a lot of that. No. I'm very happy. I'm like, yeah, you better kiss on all them sexy ass men and then send them home i think it's also because she she's been like i'm insane right i'm insane i'm a mess and i'm also formerly miss alabama so you know i'm crazy right um so you know i'm not getting an abortion when this show finishes. I'm trapping someone tonight. That's actually an interesting thing.
Starting point is 00:16:14 They won't let her comment on the Alabama stuff. Who won't? The Bachelorette? ABC won't let her comment. Oh, because they want everybody's money, honey. They don't need the conservatives to turn the TV off. They're like, someone asked her a question and ABC was like, cut, nope, don't answer that. Don't answer that. So you literally threw their body in front of the camera. Yeah. Someone asked her a question and ABC was like, cut, nope, don't answer that. Don't answer that.
Starting point is 00:16:25 So they literally threw their body in front of the camera. Yeah. All right, guys, let's talk about Olympic events because, you know, the Olympics are coming up, I guess. Oh, yeah, man. Another year. They're always coming up. Tokyo 2020. We're all getting ready.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Who cared more about paying off the Olympic Committee than they did their own infrastructure? And I think it's 2024 is Paris. Who's 20? 2028 is Los Angeles, I believe. We're all going to
Starting point is 00:17:00 Airbnb our places. That's my career goal is to not live here in 2028. Somehow find a way to not live. You guys remember Sochi? Sochi. I have fond memories of that Olympics with the wild dogs roaming the streets and crumbling
Starting point is 00:17:15 infrastructure. That was a fun Olympics. Now, one thing about Russian wild dogs, I've seen multiple viral videos where dogs in Moscow know how to take the subway. And Russian wild dogs seem much smarter than other wild dogs. Dude, they can open doors like the fucking velociraptors in Jurassic Park. They're testing the fences.
Starting point is 00:17:39 But anyways, Paris just did a process where they provisionally confirmed various sports for the 2024 Olympics. And we got some bangers on the list, guys. We've got sport climbing, surfing, skateboarding, and get ready for it, break dancing. Boo-boo-boo-boo-boo-boo! Yeah, exactly. So this seems on its surface cool to me. I cannot be against breakdancing having a more mainstream audience. At the same time, it does seem like it's going to be one of those judge-based Olympic events.
Starting point is 00:18:18 That's what I hate. Yeah. I hate judge-based Olympic events. Yeah, where it's just like, well, what you see here. I hate judge-based Olympic events. Yeah, where it's just like, well, what you see here. And then you have the really snobby retired ones who are like, that is bullshit. After somebody does something that seems miraculous to you. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:18:34 And you're just like, well, that was a clear point deduction because her toe was pointing down instead of parallel to the ground when she landed that literally superpower miraculous jump. Well, let's just – On fucking ice skates. Let's just widely speculate here, guys. Yeah. So do you think that in breakdancing, Olympic breakdancing, outfits are going to play as much of a role as they do in figure skating? Oh, they have to.
Starting point is 00:19:01 They have to. And what would be your fancy breakdancing outfit yeah pants and like track suit track suits like the most bedazzled track suits yeah like the old retro ones are you are you picturing the adidas ones like with an old bucket hat down the side yeah with it yeah but i'm picturing that but like decked out like figure skating outfits like right sequence sequence yeah this is also mean that you could have theoretically adidas or nike official olympic breakdancing shoes i mean breakdancing gear and breakdancing athletic wear is a whole new market that seems like it's the officially licensed breakdancing uh gold. I wonder if after you,
Starting point is 00:19:48 when you finish a routine, you know how gymnasts do that, like arms in the air, like thing to the, I wonder if you do the, like arms folded, like crossed all the way thing that like run DMC used to do on album covers. And that my parents do if they're trying to act like they're rappers. And they're here to say?
Starting point is 00:20:09 The crossed arms, yeah. Walking down the street just the other day. Here's my question as well. Let's speculate this. Because I don't know the answer. Is there age limits for gymnasts? And would there be an age for this? That's the question that i had on this
Starting point is 00:20:26 is like is it such like is it like those olympic sports where your body breaks down at a certain point you can't keep doing it or is it so skill-based that you know somebody can still do it into their 50s just because it's all about knowing how to spin around 45 times on top of your head. And also, what will music, like what will it be? Modern music? Will it just be up to the performer? And then also, because I feel like every four or five months I see another video of like a nine-year-old girl crushing some sort of breakdancing moves. So is she eligible for the 2024 team?
Starting point is 00:21:08 I hope so, yeah. Yeah, I'm only picturing in my mind's ear, it's that... That's the song for every single performance uh but that can't be true um yeah the article that i was reading about this too said they also wanted they they wanted to know some other sports that were worthy considering and they listed disc golf which i'd be fine with ultimate frisbee right and paintball yeah paint. Paintball. Paintball would be really interesting.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Then you're essentially just pretending war with other countries, right? Right. Yeah, and I guess the whole point of the Olympics is not to do that. Right. That's just like, okay, because then you would use your own military soldiers for your paintball team. Wouldn't you? Yeah. Yeah, probably.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Why is there no high production value multi-cam paintball tournaments on TV? It seems like that should be a thing. There has to be. That would be a lot of fun to watch. There has to be. There has to be. ESPN Classic has to have some Saturday at 4 while the world cup final is happening and they can't compete with it they just put on they put on the johnsonville brought cornhole championships which
Starting point is 00:22:33 is a gem to watch oh when is cornhole gonna be an olympic event i mean the fact that it isn't is really disappointing it's gotta be i don't think it's left this country yet, though. I do wonder if it's like bowling, boring to watch because the people are so good that the same thing just happens every single time. Like they don't even touch the board. It's just like going. I'm going to tell you, I deep dove, guys, into some cornhole championship.
Starting point is 00:23:01 When you're on the road doing shows, a lot of times you're just i'll just stay here in the hotel i guess and watch tv till i have to leave for the theater and the great thing about it is how defensive they get so you do get this element of like they make it harder for each other based on how they throw and they don't all put them right in oh they don't no no no i'm sure there's some that are going to get better also when i said it hasn't left this country i could hear people in uh at no, no. I'm sure there's some that are going to get better. Also, when I said it hasn't left this country, I could hear people in at least Canada yelling at me. I'm sure Cornhole's made its way to Canada.
Starting point is 00:23:29 We invented it! No, you didn't. Ohio did. But I'll argue on that all day. Or if you're in Illinois, it's not even called Cornhole. It's just called Bags. That's what we call it. They call it Bags?
Starting point is 00:23:39 It's just called Bags. In Chicago, Rochelle, Illinois, everywhere that I was born and raised, it's just Bags. You guys want to play Bags? You brought your Bags set? Yeah.chelle, Illinois, everywhere that I was born and raised. It's just... You guys want to play bags? You brought your bag set? Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:23:49 I hope Cornhole makes it in. Paris would seem like the appropriate place for Cornhole, right? Yeah. I mean, that is the culture leader of our cities and the culture leader of our Big Ten parking lot football game drinking games. Agreed. Yeah. Noel, any sports that you want to see given a go at the Olympics?
Starting point is 00:24:15 Anything you haven't done? I don't know. I mean, I think you guys covered some of the more odd ones, but I'm really fascinated with curling. I know this is already a thing, but it's basically like a giant large-scale game of shuffleboard on ice where someone's sweeping the ice in front of the curling stone or whatever.
Starting point is 00:24:32 And the whole culture of it is fascinating. And it's a very zen thing, and not much seems to happen, but I can't look away. It's a very interesting sport. I kind of want to know more about the history of curling. Noel, you brought yourself back here because you should check out The Losers on Netflix. It's a documentary series that goes over people who failed in their athletic attempts.
Starting point is 00:24:59 And one of them is all about curling and talks about this. It's like the most prestigious tournament that they do in Canada and goes back to the days when you could do it. Like they would have their tournaments. You'd have a cigarette hanging out of your mouth and a beer in one hand, like while playing and interviews, all these old guys. And it's a,
Starting point is 00:25:17 you can obviously tell by the title that somebody doesn't win, but it's extremely good. And if you enjoy curling on a cultural and historical level, I would recommend the Losers on Netflix. Is it available on DVD? I will only watch it if I can watch it on DVD. No, no, I thought your rule was you would buy it on DVD, then watch it on Netflix. On Netflix, there you go.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Yeah, you know, I'm not being very consistent today, but you're right. That does sound awesome. Is it other sports? Like, it's like a whole bunch of different... Yeah, yeah. That would be so fucked up if it was just called the losers and it was just about curling like implying that everyone that curls in it but they're just like yeah it's called the losers there's a great one about a boxer there's another one about this soccer
Starting point is 00:25:58 football league in the uk where if you lose so many times in a row you get like kicked out you like lose your team. Your town loses your team. And the story of these just perennial losers trying to not lose their town's team. It's really, really good. I recommend that series on Netflix. I'll definitely check it out. Begrudgingly.
Starting point is 00:26:19 All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017 was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate.
Starting point is 00:26:41 My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks.

From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports.
Starting point is 00:28:47 Angel Reese is a joy to watch. 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:29:47 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?

Starting point is 00:30:08 Listen to The Making of a Rivalry, Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. And then I wanted to talk real quickly about do you guys have you guys been watching uh euphoria no it's just it's like teens doing it's like fast times at richmond high doing drugs 2019 right yeah i heard there were like 36 uh penises in one episode like in one scene like fully you know fully shown yeah i guess there was i can't even picture what led to that like what is the scenario that requires it must have been like a locker room situation that's
Starting point is 00:30:49 the only thing i can i can or somebody wanted a world record right it's possible yeah uh i think it was a lineup actually of 36 uh no that's not it was actually it was a locker room scene and we're bringing in our euphoria expert super producer, Anna Hosnier, who has been watching it. Hello, Anna. Yeah, now, I haven't seen the show, but I'm really good at just kind of guessing. Right. No, but you like it, right?
Starting point is 00:31:20 You're saying it's good? I do. And you know, the weenenie scene as i like to call male genitals the weenies um it was actually a very funny exploration of kind of like male like toxic masculinity it was it's very funny because it's just like this dude who just can't deal like he's just like so broed out they're like all these dicks in the locker room like how inappropriate like he's just the worst he's the worst dude ever he can't deal with anything um and it explains why he's like so
Starting point is 00:31:49 deeply like a toxic monster and hey hey guys guess what your father your father ruined you um but i mean who didn't know that but anyway yeah it's a great i mean it's an interesting show because it shows all these young kids and then like the reasons why they're on drugs or like why they like to experiment. But it's also like, I wouldn't say it's like based in reality because there's so much like she buys her drugs from like a really like thugged out like eight year old. Like it's like really weird. It's like over the top it's like over the top but it's also i think the concept of euphoria is you're living on this other planet like in your head and and it has vibes of that where like things sometimes um
Starting point is 00:32:36 doesn't feel real but i think that kind of adds to like the aspect of the fact that you're on drugs so like nothing's real and and some argue like oh it glorifies drug use but then like you also kind of see these like really shitty aspects of it like like you see her like the girl first of all zendaya oh yeah you've been amazing actor you've just been making that noise over and over again every time i don't know where she's from or anything like previous to this i do remember some newscaster made a racist comment about her hair once, but that's about as much as I know from her. But like seeing her come in very fresh from my perspective, I think she's killing it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:15 I mean, like you see like the real dark sides of like kids fucking fighting with their parents, like things where you like kind of feel it from your own childhood. Like, oh, yeah, I was like, you know was like you know yeah psycho as well still am yeah i mean the stuff that terrifies me most about having kids is that they will one day do things half as stupid as i did when i was a teenager yeah they'll threaten to kill you just out of pure madness wonderful because they're children i mean it's not like they're really gonna i mean hey look i'm not here to judge if your child kills you but like you know like in i remember you know as a kid who abused drugs like in my most vulnerable like true insecure moments like i've said and done things that were incredibly not okay to my parents like i've screamed i've thrown shit like i've just lost my fucking mind because i just want to go get high. And my parents are just trying to be like, no, you're 17, no.
Starting point is 00:34:10 And then it's like, I think it captures that very well. Yeah, I mean, so the New York Times wrote an article about how this generation of teenagers, like our current teenagers are actually the, like they use drugs less than any group of teenagers in recent history. They smoke less. They have less sex. They're getting into fewer car accidents, getting into fewer physical fights. So their point was kind of,
Starting point is 00:34:38 why are we making this show Euphoria? That is like the most boundary pushing show about teen sex and teen drug use when like this is the least you know sexually active and drug dependent group of teenagers but i like one of the things that this show talks about is how i think it says uh teenagers like your love language today as a teenager is nudes and like it's needs uh but that like that doesn't necessarily mean you're sexually active just because you're like sending nudes back and forth also i think that would fall under gifts right yeah right because it's quality time yes yeah it's acts of service yeah there you go, affirming words and physical touch.
Starting point is 00:35:26 So maybe affirming words and GIFs, that's where nudes fall into. Yeah. And it is like, even if they aren't abusing the drugs that people our age did, like suicide among teens is rising, the incidence of certain mental health problems is going up vaping has taken off in a way that is alarming public health officials um so it sounds like they're saying that like there are issues here that you could highlight in a teen drama right but the idea that the issues are how fucking drunk and crazy and drug and
Starting point is 00:36:06 addled they're getting is not really where the spots are yeah exactly like one of the things that people have pointed to is that because uh people kind of grow up these days with helicopter parents who don't let them like out of the house and don't let them like go out and make mistakes for themselves they they're safer but that also fucks with your ability to like solve problems for yourself and that's a cause of anxiety and depression um that's crazy because i feel like everyone i grew up with was so on drugs that's weird so was it like millennial it kind of slowly petered out with millennials when we all started ODing at 27 and then like the younger generations were like, whatever. Like, I can't, I don't know what anything young is anymore. But like, I have a 10 year old daughter and she's basically like already a teenager.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Like she's kind of addicted to social media. She's not vaping yet, but like she's kind of addicted to social media. All her friends are. There's that whole like comparing yourself to other people culture that we all probably suffer from too but with kids i think it's even more like pointed and you know i think it's it's definitely a cause of probably some of those increases in suicide rates because there's everything's kind of broadcast out there like what other kids have that you don't have or like how cool other people are and the way you compare yourself to it i think that's absolutely a bigger part of it today with you know younger kids than drugs for sure yeah yeah i do find myself
Starting point is 00:37:28 sometimes i'll be like i'm gonna sit down and smoke some weed but then i start literally scrolling through instagram and then i forget to smoke the weed i was gonna make this joke but i wonder how much of it's true is yeah is in a freakonomics way where you're like, oh, this is actually tied to that. I wonder how much screen time has to do with the lifestyles of teenagers now. Like being less drug dependent. Yeah. Or just more. Because you get high off likes, really. I mean, those endorphins are real.
Starting point is 00:37:58 If I could break 100 likes on a photo, I probably won't smoke weed for like three days. You know what? Something kind of weird i you don't know something kind of weird i don't know how much this ties into this but i i recently put out a post on twitter about my opinion of these um child detainees and i wished to myself that there was a way to turn off like notifications because i could feel myself being like oh i'm glad that so many people that i like or know or respect are liking this this opinion that i have yeah but i that felt shitty to me because i didn't want to be getting positive released endorphins off of something that i was just trying to say yeah hey enough of this shit do you know what i mean but it's still it
Starting point is 00:38:40 happens to you regardless that you can say something for altruistic reasons and end up getting a selfish benefit from it yeah it feels shitty yeah uh and another thing they point to in this new york times article is that the fact that kids from a very young age have access to like all the pornography that's ever been made uh the internet probably has something to do with the fact that they are less likely to be immediately sexually active in their teenage years. We have to get this story in, guys. Charmin has put out what they're calling
Starting point is 00:39:17 a forever roll of toilet paper. It's impractically huge. It looks like one of those giant wheels of cheese um but they came they claim it can last you a month of uh just near constant shitting uh and it's 12 inches uh the equivalent of 24 toilet paper rolls and it's being hailed as the toilet paper roll for millennials because it cuts down on – Because we can't afford space. So insulting. It's just deeply insulting.
Starting point is 00:39:50 We all live in a box. I mean, I do, but by choice. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, totally. But it's basically the idea that what are the two things millennials hate? They don't have any space to live in and they hate leaving the house. This takes care of that.
Starting point is 00:40:08 You have toilet paper roll that you can eat off of. It can be like your kitchen table. I use toilet paper for every, like what millennials do is like, we like, we kill industries and we use toilet paper for literally every purpose. So like placemats, napkins, paper towels. Engagement rings.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Engagement rings. Casts if we break our legs because we don't have health insurance. You just wrap your arm in toilet paper and dip it in the toilet and it hardens up. To dress up as mummies or to actually use in funerary rituals because, again, we don't have any money. There you go. But, yeah, this is – Wait, so what – so I'm still not quite clear on the concept of what makes this toilet paper so special that millennials – It's 20 –
Starting point is 00:40:56 A lot of it. It's 24 rolls. It's big. It's – Real big. But they're compact or – No, it's just – It's like a cartoon size.
Starting point is 00:41:04 They made the biggest toilet paper roll ever. But how is that supposed to help me with space? Because think about how much space 24 rolls of toilet paper takes up. It's like a giant box. Got it. Visualizing it. Right. Whereas 20... This is just a giant wheel.
Starting point is 00:41:19 Yeah, it's just one wheel. Like a cheese wheel of... A cheese wheel of toilet paper. Holy crap. It's exactly the size of a wheel of Parmesan cheese. I see. Yeah. That's not going to fit in my little toilet roll dispenser.
Starting point is 00:41:31 So that is the other genius thing is that they're providing the toilet roll dispensers. That's how they get you. Those are a thousand. They get you coming and going. Those are a thousand. Yeah. It's like the computer. Like here's our new Apple computer and here's the toilet roll.
Starting point is 00:41:46 Right. Wait, could you use that? It's actually on a subscription service. I see. It pays for itself. The savings, like six years in, you're printing. Yeah, toilet roll cloud that you have to subscribe to. That'd be really funny, like an automated toilet paper dispenser.
Starting point is 00:42:04 It has the toilet paper in there, but if your subscription runs out, it's just like, and then it knows that your moment of need, and it's like, well, suddenly the toilet paper is now $20. Apply. Yeah. That's how they get you, man. Get you coming and going. To the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Get it. Uh-huh. Yeah. Jack's never going to let me on this podcast again. I think I literally said, what the hell is wrong with you during our break. You did. You did. I've never seen you that angry.
Starting point is 00:42:31 I've never seen him that angry either. We do have to talk about the ad that is- For boyhood. Yes, the ad for boyhood. For masculinity. So I don't know how to talk about this because it's like a spoiler. I guess if you haven't seen the ad for boyhood
Starting point is 00:42:47 that turns out not to be the ad for boyhoods, go watch it now. Pause this and go watch it now. What is it, like two minutes? Yeah, it's like a two-minute spot. It's like a two-and-a-half minute. Very long.
Starting point is 00:42:56 So it follows the life of a boy as he is born, grows up, pees outside for the first time, gets in his first fight. But comes in an incel.. But becomes an incel. Yeah, becomes an incel. In the commercial. Travels to Asia and is cured of his incel-ness,
Starting point is 00:43:13 falls in love, and then goes. And by this point, you're weeping. Moves out. You're just weeping. Yeah, grows his hair back. Oh, yeah, when his girlfriend dumps him, he shaves his head. And then he gets a beard when he goes to Asia because he gets it.
Starting point is 00:43:28 It's so crazy. The whole time I was trying to guess what it was an afro. I was like Trojans, Halliburton. Trojans would have been funny because it would have been like this person should not exist. It seemed like there was so much you saw. I was like this has to do with something
Starting point is 00:43:43 about like there's a lot of sex. You see a mother giving birth, a home birth. I'm like, surely this all must be relevant. That was a weird thing is that they have the mother giving birth in a tiny bathtub. A water birth is supposed to be in a body of water. Yeah, you have to do it in a kiddie pool at minimum. But whoever made this commercial just had heard of a home birth is like supposed to be in a body of water but like you have to do it in like a kiddie pool at right but whoever made this commercial just like had heard of a home birth and just like had a birth in like a tiny little bathtub anyways uh that is not the weirdest part of the ad the weirdest part comes at the end when it shows this young man whose life we have seen
Starting point is 00:44:22 flash before our eyes the ups and downs downs, the trials, the tribulations. So the first thing we hear other than swelling string music is a woman's voice comes in and says, every day life asks you the same question. What are you going to try today? And it shows him as a grown man walk into a subway and walk up to a subway counter and look at the literal universe of options in front of him through the sneeze guard.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Every day, life asks you the same question. What do you want from subway? Here's what I take umbrage with. I wanted to know what his order was after all that. So you're a meatball marinara guy? That's coming in the next installment.
Starting point is 00:45:08 I'm just going to be like two more acts where he gets married and then gets divorced and shaves his head again and then he's discussed to be his kids and then he has to decide what he wants at Subway again. And then he reconnects and then the third installment he reconnects with his kids and they go to Subway together. And it's an arc.
Starting point is 00:45:22 The relationship with the girl it's not like they're dating. He kisses a girl and then he sees her talking to a guy and touch hands, and then he goes and shakes his head. It's just such an unnecessarily aggressive move. I mean, he appears to be an only
Starting point is 00:45:40 child. It's not, you know. They're not a lot as explained, but I thought it was going to be for a jeans you know like because all the commercials that you don't know used to just be for jeans this was a cast off of a levi's ad yeah like yeah they just they just added in the last shot of the sub because he's not even you don't even see him in a subway right see him with kind of like the background is pretty blank and then it cuts to they're not even in the same shot. It literally could have been for anything.
Starting point is 00:46:07 That's true. Yeah. My theory was that they like someone took this demented student film and just shopped it around. They're like, who will pay me to just put an image of an employee and their sneeze guard at the end of the set? I mean, I'm sure whatever. I mean, I'm sure they wanted this to happen and it's working and we're playing right into their hands. But I was like, holy shit.
Starting point is 00:46:28 They're not that good. You know what this proves is that ads really are art. And people that work in advertising are actually artists, but better because they make money. Someone I worked with yesterday showed us a really long Apple commercial and was like, see, commercials can be filmmaking. And then today we showed him this, and he's like, well, I guess maybe I was wrong. That's amazing. All right, we're going to take a quick break.
Starting point is 00:46:55 We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16, 2017, was murdered. There are crooks everywhere you look now. The situation is desperate. My name is Manuel Delia. I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere, a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks. a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks.

Starting point is 00:50:09 of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really hear them. Why is that? 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?
Starting point is 00:50:34 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 vs. Angelese on the iheart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast and we're back uh finally what is a myth what's something people think is true you know to be false um that men can't compliment women anymore i sort of keep hearing this now in the light of kind of me too that it's like you can't even compliment a woman anymore and i say you can you just may not get the response you want right like you've always been able to oh the caveat to that also is like if you're shouted from the top of a building right or out of a moving car if like the Doppler effect applies to it. Nice tits.
Starting point is 00:51:27 That's a compliment. Yeah, I yelled it to you at 8 a.m. Yeah, that's when it tips into like sort of street harassment, right? Right. But you can still pay compliments. But we're hearing a lot now like, well, you just can't even talk to women. And we're like, yeah, you can. Just you're going to be called out if you're a dick.
Starting point is 00:51:42 Yeah. So I'm sort of tired of hearing from guys, no, you can't even. Yeah. I just want to put a PSA out there to those guys, which is that if you're saying that, you're a nasty, creepy motherfucker. And here's why. Because if you feel like you can't talk to women anymore,
Starting point is 00:51:58 that means the way you were talking to women before was trash. Okay? That means what you were doing was wrong. And now you're like, man, you can't even grab a woman booty no more. Like, no, sir. Absolutely not. You have a problem.
Starting point is 00:52:09 I've never met a normal man who has come up to me and been like, oh, you look nice today. Oh, you know what? I shouldn't say that anymore because I don't want you to sue me. Like people know the appropriate. People who have a gauge of what's appropriate and what's not appropriate have never lost that. It's just the people who were running amok because no one was reprim reprimanding them that now feel stifled yeah yeah you're you're you're hurting my right to be a douche right yeah so if you're saying that no you're gross no we know you're gross it's the same thing it's revealing for the same reasons people who are
Starting point is 00:52:38 like you can't be funny anymore yeah it's like yeah so your brand of funny was just saying racist and sexist stuff. The punchline was racism. Yeah, you liked punching down and we're no longer think that's as hilarious as we used to. All right, let's talk about how we do fame on this side of the Atlantic. The walk of fame. Atlantic, the Walk of Fame. There's renewed interest in whether Donald Trump should have a star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood. So the Hollywood City Council had a vote and said, no, he should not. We should get rid of it. And the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce has fully just ignored that vote, which I guess is like most city council votes of any type.
Starting point is 00:53:28 They just kind of get ignored. So one question that people had is like why he has one to begin with since he is only known for being a reality star and also a rich guy in Home Alone 2, which by the way- Oh, and an episode of Sex and the City. Oh yeah, which freaked me out when I saw him on there. I was like, he was on this? Samantha had a meeting with him.
Starting point is 00:53:53 Yeah, like they flirted across the bar or something. Oh, hi Donald. Donald Trump. I want some of that Trump. So it turns out you basically buy yourself a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Starting point is 00:54:08 It costs $30,000 to get yourself nominated and then they'll pretty much vote you in if you pay them enough money. Absolute Vodka has a star. Come on.
Starting point is 00:54:20 L'Oreal has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But like one of the rules that they hold kind of steadfast to is that you can't get a Hollywood star as a reality star. And so people have been like, why would Trump have it? And they claim it's because of his work as a producer for the Miss America pageant, that that's why he has a Hollywood star.
Starting point is 00:54:45 I think that they're not going to take a star away because it's just like the Internet. Like if you're a negative troll, you're still giving people more visibility and more views and more likes by being negative. So Donald Trump's star getting constantly defaced and people constantly visiting it, that is driving traffic to the Walk of Fame. And that's the whole point of the walk of fame in the first place was that an explosion for a truth bomb yeah is that what that was thank you jen but yeah so they're like love it or hate it like people are still coming to the hollywood walk of fame so they're never gonna get rid of it yeah Yeah. And it has to be, like, policed now.
Starting point is 00:55:26 They've had people, like, you know, around it because it gets defaced so often now. Somebody put up a golden toilet on it. Someone put it behind prison bars. Someone built a little wall around it. And somebody smashed it to smithereens with a pickaxe. So, yeah, the ultimate point is that it is basically a cheap way to buy a publicity stunt uh getting a hollywood walk of fame star and it's not all we need is that 15 million loan
Starting point is 00:55:51 from our parents right yeah and we can all get one that's right i plan on buying it i will have a 30 000 star at some point in my life the thing that i I found most... I'll be like, thank you so much. Who gave this to me? Oh, my God. I'm going to act like I had nothing to do with it. The thing that I found most offensive about this, one chamber representative said, somebody asked, or I guess Kanye was saying that Kim Kardashian
Starting point is 00:56:17 should get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame since she is one of the most famous people in the world right now. And the person from the Hollywood Chamber of Fame since she is one of the most famous people in the world right now. And the person from the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce said, she needs to get a real acting job then come to us. She has had a real acting job. She was in that Tyler Perry movie.
Starting point is 00:56:34 She was in that Ray J movie. My girl got credits. I know. Her performance was very convincing. Convincing. Convincing in all of them. Yeah. In all of them.
Starting point is 00:56:50 So she can't have it because she's a reality star. Yes. Is Paris Hilton got one then? Because she was in House of Wax. Was it House of Wax? Yeah, she was in that little horror film. You're right. I don't know, but I think that they are going to have to change that
Starting point is 00:57:03 because Cardi B started out as a reality TV star. She was on Love and Hip Hop, and now she's a Grammy Award winning artist. Like, what do you mean? Like, people do reality TV show like it's nothing now. Right. But she's got the Grammys, I guess, and the music. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Because of that, you can have it. Yeah, she'll be a recording artist. So Kim can't get it for being a lawyer. Right. So that can't be your only qualification as being a reality star i think okay so you have to have something in the arts but the whole thing is just complete bullshit is i guess the point it's just like that guy's claim is that because he thinks kim kardashian isn't culturally of value but then donald trump like is yeah is of value because of what people
Starting point is 00:57:44 need to stop hating on Kim K. And I hate that I'm saying this. I say it's a double-edged sword. On one hand, yeah, stealing from everyone, making money off of it, cultural appropriation, we talked about it. But on the other hand, y'all are just mad because she's a beautiful woman
Starting point is 00:57:56 who made money, essentially started making money from sex and then made money in a lot of different ways. And nobody wants to see a quote-unquote ho win. But hoes is winning. And I'm proud of her. her i'm proud of her so they need to give her her star because she's so culturally relevant come on she's like world famous like you can't deny it um yeah well i know that she's doing this um she wants to be like her dad who got oj off not in a way that was me doing a masturbating sign but but um she made a wanking but it was kind of like, oh, so she's been championing,
Starting point is 00:58:27 trying to get people out of like, who've been wrongfully imprisoned and stuff. But she's got people out of jail. So that's all pretty good. But then it kind of lands with, and it's all going to be a TV series. And you're like, does everything have to be televised? Because you can do this and you can do some good and you can use your platform and your position. But why do we need to see a TV series about it then it just becomes up fodder i mean i think at the end
Starting point is 00:58:49 of the day the black women are getting out of jail so i don't care if they're on tv and hell it might help them because x cons like you don't get jobs when you come out of jail and we all know that so maybe the now the black woman can also be selling some makeup and some lipsticks. So, hey. Yeah. Unlike Kylie Jenner. Just admit that you've had surgery. That's the thing. You can't be mad at Kim for looking that way.
Starting point is 00:59:13 She paid a lot of money for it. And actually what it means is that anyone can. If you can just get some money for surgery, you can all look. Amazing. Yeah. It's just a choice, isn't it? Right? If you want to
Starting point is 00:59:25 all right let's let's stay on this same tip because uh anna you wanted to talk about the article you wrote uh for buzzfeed called the 34 kinds of tattoos that look insanely hot on guys talk about comparing yourself to immeasurable ideals. This is going to be like the Andy Rooney part at the end of 60 Minutes. We just let Anna go off. Oh, this needs to always happen. I found this article because I clicked
Starting point is 00:59:56 on the 20 tattoos tattoo artists are sick of doing and I had never heard of any of them. I was like, what? Why are they so over these? What would those be? They were like cats any of them like i was like what like why are they so over these what would those be they were like cats with crowns i was like oh who i thought you were gonna say like simple state outlines well that too like skylines yeah what are you basic just kidding yeah no i am i am basic if you became a tattoo artist like you kind of just have to
Starting point is 01:00:22 realize people are gonna come in and be like, it says faith. It's some weird language. What did you think was going to happen? You open a burger shop, guess what? You're going to get asked to make a lot of burgers. It's a weird thing to be like, I am so sick of these skylines. Get over it. You're a tattoo artist.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Try and make it better for yourself. Then through that, because BuzzFeed is filled with lists lists my love language i found 34 kinds of tattoos that look insanely hot on guys which unnecessary the most unnecessary thing because none of it matters it's like nothing reminds you more that we're all gonna die in like 30 years than a list of hot guys with tattoos how was your date last night horrible except for the fact that he had the hottest tattoo i literally just told him to show me his forearm and then i just masturbated and i left he's portrait of his grandmother yeah
Starting point is 01:01:22 i have ever seen. Well, anyway, so, you know, some of the options were, like, triangle tattoo. A triangle? That's all it said? Just a triangle? Wait, like the Triforce from Zelda? Sure. I mean, that's a dope triangle tattoo.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Like, any sort of triangle tattoo. Just all triangles? Yeah. Pants creamed. Okay. I literally thought you were reading the next tattoo. Pants creamed. Okay. I literally thought you were reading the next tattoo. And then straight line. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:01:50 Because what else tells you your literal sexual orientation for the woman to understand that you're down a fuck, a vagina, then a straight line. Panties implode. Okay. Song lyric. What? What? I amode. Okay. Song lyric. What? What? I am so horny.
Starting point is 01:02:08 All right. Wait, that's one of the hottest? These are hottest ones? Yes. I mean, if you do have a line from Gordon Lightfoot's Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald on your forearm. I like his earlier stuff. Sundown?
Starting point is 01:02:21 No, you've gotten very quiet. Do you have all of these tattoos? I have zero tattoos, actually. I've been toying with getting one, but maybe I'll look at this list and make it happen. Yeah, you can get yourself a nautical-inspired one. Have you been on a boat? I have set foot on a boat, yes. I've got my sea legs.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Wait, is that in one of the lists too, nautical? Yeah, like an anchor, because you're so anchored down. Why not just the nautica logo? With your own toxic masculinity. Wait, an inspirational quote is one of the- That's a hot tattoo, dude. Oh my God. It's just everywhere.
Starting point is 01:02:51 Oh God, Anna. Wait, but does location matter? Like if it's a nautical theme, does it have to be in a particular place? Does it be like a lower back anchor or like, does that make a difference? It doesn't matter, Noel. Nothing matters. I think that's what we've learned here today one of them was like a tattoo that peeks out that was like one of them it's just like like from the sleeve
Starting point is 01:03:13 yeah like anywhere that's just like oh so this is just a badly written article it's peeking out from an otherwise conservative outfit so like some of them are a nautical tattoo and the other is one that peeks out yeah i just imagine like ben shapiro with like a like a tattoo peeking out of his like neck does he have a neck tattoo because i am horny i think that's what they mean right like yadier molina's neck tattoo yeah that's so hot it's really yeah and then you know other ones are like coordinates to where like long longitude latitude like where do you have to be is this like memento can you not remember where your family lives like what's your deal you're so hot is your entire personality based off this goddamn fucking tattoo wow yes wow well thank you for writing that article yeah
Starting point is 01:04:01 none of these tattoos matter you guys nothing makes you hot Yeah, you crushed it. None of these tattoos matter, you guys. Nothing makes you hot except for, you know, like being nice to your mom. And that's about it. Like just be nice to your mom and other women around you. That's the hottest thing you can really bring to the table. Your tattoo doesn't matter. Your body is rotting away within climate control. So like don't even think about it.
Starting point is 01:04:22 Just like be nice to women. Wait, even if we're on drugs, we have to be nice to our mom? What if I about it just like be nice to women wait that's it even if we're on drugs we have to be nice to our mom what if i got the tattoo be nice to women oh shit wait i'm passing away be nice believe women would be a good believe women that might actually be kind of attractive i think i'm dying from how horny i am i I'm going to get that tattooed.
