These are some of our favorite segments from this week, all edited together into one nonstop infotainment laughstravaganza. Yeah.

So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. What's something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Yeah, I'm gonna pass on this segment. No, could you imagine? I was like, no. Nah. No.

Nah, fam. In my search history, this is very insider, Ivan Kurslavik, Australia's Got Talent. Okay. I like the way this is going. um ivan kurslavik australia's got talent okay i like the way this is insider for whom if you watch australian if you watch bachelor in paradise australia okay got it or the bachelorette australia um so there's this guy who was on the who was on bachelor australia first and then he went to bip bachelor in paradise for me you. Now you put your answers in the doc. Are you misspelling his name?

No. That's his name? That's another level. So many consonants in a row. K-R-S-L? He's about 6'7". Are you doing old comedy from the 40s? Is that a real name?

Wow. Try some culture, Jack. K-R-S-L. He's about 6'7". And he considers himself the Channing Tatum of Australia. In the sense that he's like a Magic Mike style dancer. He's a 6'7 stripper? Well, he's not a stripper.

He's just more like his dream is to be like a step up dancer. What do you mean? Like step up the movie. Oh, like step up to the streets. Like Channing Tatum. Or step up the movie oh like step up like channing tatum yeah or step up to the streets what's the emphasis to just be like a fucking like pop and lock and he is one but he's the corniest one i've ever seen in my life and he uses it he'll be like for one in the bachelorette he'd be like girl i i actually did it i did a routine for you if you

could just like sit there i'll dance for you and most of the time he's dancing to no music oh wow and it's insane and then like in bachelor in paradise he's like so frustrated with like this situation with this girl and this guy like he's like in like a this guy's like i want to ask out your girl and he's like oh you're my friend man then he goes he's like just i need a minute i just need to go like dance this off no and he goes and he's like got headphones on and he's like dancing by himself in front of like a sunset it's the it's beautiful most insane thing i've ever seen it's beautiful and he truly believes he's the most suave like badass dancer like he's like told the girl like i need about five years right in five years i'm gonna or not even five years. I think at that time, it was a few years ago, he's like,

give me a few years. I will be Channing Tatum. First, you have to go to Atlanta because all the dancers go to Atlanta. And then I will have made it. Is that where Channing Tatum... Give me five years. I don't know where the dancing... And I will be making $23,000 a year busking. Yeah, exactly.

Apparently, he went on Australiaralia's got talent and the clip it's wild he has no talent i mean he's got talent but he's a six seven dancer so he just looks gangly like yeah like he just looks like he's like he knows how to do the moves he just can't put he like puts them together in a weird way well i, I'll show you guys a video. It's just very... It kills me. It seems like he's not motivated by the music. To the Australians. No, he's definitely motivated.

You'll see. I'll show you. I'll put it in the footnotes so you guys can really watch this. It's kind of amazing. Because speaking of foot, footloose, Kevin Bacon's character, at one point... Thank you. At one point, he goes into a warehouse and like because he's mad and like just dances dances it off right yeah and i never

thought that like i this is the first i've ever heard of that actually happening right but he probably saw that and he's like that's that's what you're a dancer. You got to get off some steam. That's a movie. Yeah. And he, yeah. Also, Kevin Bacon is dancing most of the time to no music because the music is in his car. One of the clearest pieces of evidence, something that I look at every now and then, I think I've talked about the fact that I am on the Breitbart News mailing list, just to kind of keep an eye on what they're up to. And a lot, a lot of the emails are just scam emails. Just, here's one I got the other day. A special message from Bill O'Reilly.

Oh, great. Picture of Bill O'Reilly with a silver coin, like a giant silver coin behind him. And it says, Dear fellow Americans, some experts say a recession could be on the way. With all the turbulence in the world, it's important to consider putting a portion of what you have earned into an asset that is historically safe, gold and silver. Asset that is historically safe, gold and silver. So these are like these old person, like financial scam. Like they're just looting the elderly, essentially,

because that's who watches them. I just found a website called Bill O'Reilly's Precious Metals, and it sounds like he has a whole career in getting you to invest in gold. Or you want a Bitcoin IRA. Oh really hell yeah bill also sounds like it was written by like a an angry ex-wife bill o'reilly's precious metals uh so precious he forgets his anniversary right there's also an article in the new republic recently about uhaceuticals, and it asks the question why this scam. Do y'all think they work? Right. Why are they so good at making you have amazing brain power that lasts all day?

No, why are all the top sellers of nutraceuticals right-wing media? I didn't realize Joe Roggan is a nutraceutical guy that makes sense yeah yeah i just didn't think he was that far gone oh yeah i don't think he was that i think it's well because like i think inherently right like a lot of conservatives already have this feeling of like waning power so like anything that's like hey man fucking let's go back to caveman fucking times right fucking bodies were robust and powerful well but they were talking about the fact that like some of some of the images on the nutraceutical like marketing material are actually like a an

exact match of like a drawing from marxist material about what capitalism was going to do to us like it has has gears and stuff and it's basically a human turning into a machine. Like an automaton, right? Yeah, an automaton and just how you're going to lose your humanity. And these nutraceutical marketing materials are

people doing that and they're like, you're going to be so sick. You're going to be a fucking machine, bro. A fucking capitalist machine, man. Yeah. I i mean that's they want us to lose our humanity no so marx was warning that that will happen if we go further down the road of capitalism oh and then it's happening and it's happening they're they're bragging about it with the nutraceuticals and uh it's basically one of one of the theories put forward by the article is that you know the reason it's a right-wing thing is because it's all about making you a better capitalist money-making machine.

And when you think about it, it's a pretty bleak ethos. American right-wingers are basically like, it's a meritocracy. And if you're not making money, that's on you, bro. Right, right, right. What's wrong with you? Yeah, you got to make yourself a better earner for your family or you're a fucking loser. And so like one of the people in the article said like,

the left wing is a little bit more skeptical about the relationship between labor and employer right and so they wouldn't take as kindly to a product that is all about like making you better employee right right right that's why we're like let's smoke weed and be up at work right yeah i guess i like how you wrote in here but the left on the left wing the people who sell this gwyneth paltrow yeah there's only one and it's gwyneth paltrow well i guess it's all different versions right because i guess the other like the holistic you know pseudoscience stuff is like the left's version of nutraceuticals but it's like for a much more like you know it feels more fantastic and whimsical uh you want to know what gwyneth

paltrow's uh nutraceutical is called? What? Nerd Alert. No, it isn't. Yes. Because it's like, oh, you want to use your brain, nerd? Well, this will make you more alert, dork. I like the rights version is fucking caveman power. Like, I think that was one of the Alex Jones ones, like caveman brain force or something. And then who left this fucking nerd alert? Nerd alert.

Square alert. Fucking dork. You want to do good at work, you nerd? Anyways. Anyways. Let's talk about insurance companies, guys. This is... They get a bad rap.

Yeah. Let's leave them alone. State Farm Farmers, Erie, which is apparently a car insurer. So there's an article in BuzzFeed. It's actually BuzzFeed News. It's an investigative report where it looks into this practice. It feels a little bit like the relationship between doctors and pharmaceutical companies. It's the relationship between local police forces and insurance companies.

between local police forces and insurance companies. Basically, insurance companies are these huge, multi-billion dollar companies. So in America, they're going to have a shitload of power. And in the early 90s, they made a couple changes. So they realized that they were losing money to fraud claims. There was a study that came out that said 1 in 10 insurance claims was fraud. Experts think that is a wild over-exaggeration.

But they still... What do they think it's closer to? They didn't give... 10% is ridiculous. 10% they say is probably not true. Which is funny because 100% of these companies are a scam. Right. It's an internal study for the insurance industry right

to be like this is a problem yeah so to address that problem and it succeeded it's made them like way more profitable uh they did two things they pushed this legislation where people aren't able to sue insurance companies who accuse them of fraud so basically they can accuse people of fraud and you know basically bankrupt people like a lot a lot of people end up like homeless or uh you know just it you know out on their ass basically yeah death by court fees you know if you're a contractor then like being accused of insurance fraud which is one of the stories they tell like the person lost his job and like lost all this work uh he had like 50 employees and he had to fire most of them but because he was wrongly accused of fraud because he was wrongly accused of

fraud because what was the claim that he had and they're like no that's fraud the way he worked was people would come to him to fix stuff and the reason he was really popular is because he would deal with the insurance companies basically go and adjudicate the situation with the insurance companies and he had a relationship with them so you know he figured he could do it more effectively than like letting the people themselves deal with the insurance companies but because because he was getting paid out on so many insurance claims, the insurance companies were like, this is not good. This is a money loser for us.

So let's fucking take this guy down. And so they wrongly accuse him of fraud. They wrongly accuse him of fraud. And they, in some cases, the insurance companies, are providing the evidence to the police officers. And it's a report on arson or something. They'll be like, yeah, there's traces of gasoline and fire accelerants in this fire. You need to accuse this guy.

He started the fire himself. And it charged them with fraud or something. Yeah. Dude, hashtag Medicare for all. But the evidence that they're providing them is coming from their own like from their own biased investigation yeah right and it's not from a fucking even a law enforcement investigation like hey we say there's proof of this right so the other thing the insurance companies are doing is they're subsidizing local

law enforcement uh they're giving them money to hire investigators for insurance fraud because it used to be a thing that law enforcement just didn't have the bandwidth for. So when an insurance fraud claim came in, they were like, well, we don't really have the time or energy. So the insurance industry started investing in these investigators and providing law enforcement with them, and it became this like

cozy like pay for play like we give your police department like a bunch of money and allow you to hire these investigators and in return like you use our data you to charge these people you help us charge these people with fraud and it's just just, it's really, like, they don't have a lot of stats, but it seems like there's a lot of false positives. An expert on the situation said it's kind of the equivalent of tuna nets catching dolphins. It's like, yeah, you're going to catch some fraudulent claims, but you're also catching a lot of real people,

and you're, like, destroying honest people who spent money to like to trust your company yeah to be insured and then just because they're like oh we're losing money we're gonna accuse you of fraud and are they just like celebrating yeah yeah so people are then losing their job because they're arrested like this one this one woman like she wasn't even a contractor it had nothing to do with her job she worked at walmart but a house she was renting burned down they arrested her for like arson for arson she was facing 20 years in prison and then she just like desperately wrote all these letters to any lawyer who would take her case pro bono was like i'm like out of options i'm gonna go to jail

if you don't help me this lawyer just out of the kindness of his heart took her case and found that they were using like i said earlier they were using a study by the insurance company that just was provided to them and it was bullshit it was like based on faulty science yeah and her case was thrown out. But she's still homeless from all the losing her job. So they still didn't pay out? I don't think they did, no. So they didn't pay out and she's destitute and has nothing. Yeah, there's one instance.

So this guy who was clearing all the claims because he was a big contractor in, I think, the Indiana area. The thing that ultimately caused them to really get pissed at him was this big hailstorm that had just damaged all these people's homes and cars. And he was doing a lot of repairing and getting paid by the insurance companies. And State Farm had an investigator go after him on all these different fraud claims and when they got him arrested the guy the state farm guy sent around a drawing of a stick figure getting raped in prison and was like hot like celebrating the fact that he got this guy arrested uh it turned

out to be falsely accused uh he was facing like a lot of jail time because of this work and that guy who sent around that uh drawing like won an award for being the best like insurance fraud investigator in the country so it's like this is happening and that's like them thinking that the system is working i wonder if they're like the evidence they gave was like yeah look officer i don't even know what hail is i'm here to debate if like what is hail like yeah there are these dents i don't see where it came from yeah but i mean it's fraud it's just how american capitalism works and like the way that this story came about this is one of those uh investigative reports where they were like if you have a story just like email it to us

and so they just enough people had emailed them to for them to be like okay it seems like there might be a thing here because otherwise like you just don't find out about this right right right it's just like a consumer advocacy story but consumers get fucked by multi-billion dollar companies like they don't they it's just such a mismatch in America because, you know, for the same reason that we're allowed to drink Mountain Dew and, you know, the European Union is not because the Pepsi Corporation has a shitload of money. Like, let us poison people. Yeah, let us poison people because this thing is delicious. Did any of these insurance companies comment back about this?

Yeah, they just deny it. They just deny it. How does the pendulum swing the other way so the insurance companies are accountable? Or this is one of those things where they're like, we just need to draw people's attention to this practice in the insurance industry.

It didn't seem like they were referring to many other mainstream media reports on this so i think i think yeah because they're fucking commercial these motherfuckers are advertising on right so i think people need to like really kind of push for some sort of reform uh like i think the main thing they need is because the insurance company has been like doing this for years and because they have so much money to pay lawyers all 50 states have these laws where people aren't allowed to sue them if they're accused of fraud wrongly so if your life is ruined because you made an insurance claim there's no way to sue for damages to sue for damages at all um the one thing that is interesting about that buzzfeed article is that uh when you get to the end,

it actually tells you which Harry Potter character each insurance provider is. And I thought that was really interesting. Yeah, yeah. I was surprised by, you know, they're all slithering, it turns out. I'm Hufflepuff. I'm a Hufflepuff, too. Farmers was Hufflepuff. I fear it's going to happen to me.

Yeah, no, it can happen to literally any of us. That sucks so bad. Yeah. I don't get it. Especially, well, you do a bit in the office where you keep saying you got an injury at work. Right. That's not a bit. And that could happen.

Well, you know, I have some investigators who may want to talk to you. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

Listen to the making of a rivalry, Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. I don't know if i even want to do this next story it really fucks me up uh but guys we're apparently not allowed to put q-tips in our ears anymore we've known that forever i know so i've been hearing that like it's been a small background like chatter because you can't hear it due to all the wax buildup from using a q-tip as you impact it more well that's the thing it's like that's like the thing that came out that we were like no yeah like it's the thing like okay doctors right i remember it wasn't flossing the other one where it's like you know it's fine and people like well we're still doing it wait

really yeah there was a whole thing about flossing. Like, wasn't, you know, I mean, it was beneficial, but not in the way that, like, the dental industry was telling us. So there's a Gizmodo article called Is Cleaning Your Ears with Cotton Swabs Really That Dangerous? I'm going to be honest with you. I fully clicked on that because I expected the answer to be like, nah. The way the headline's written, you're expecting it to be like, no, it's actually fine. It's not as bad.

And they're like, it is. There's a real life horror tale that they kick things off with because a woman, her skull got infected from basically using a Q-tip improperly. You're just, they're just like, you should never ever stick anything into your head. Yeah. Your ears are incredibly delicate,

like compared to your other bodily orifices. And you just like, aren't supposed to be putting anything in there. Also don't fuck with ear candling. Apparently that's not good uh but wait why is it not good i think just generally it's like it can puncture your eardrum what is it's like you put a candle in in your ear and the like lit end basically like pulls like creates like a suction i think. Yeah it draws earwax out of the ear. Draws earwax out.

You see I saw it the first time like in like India or something. That's crazy. I've never even I don't even know anything about that. I one time had I thought I was going deaf in college but it was just a wax build up in one of my ears. Had you been Q-tipping? I mean probably

I'm a normal person yeah um i'm a human being you don't use pens no so it had been impacted in there i don't know but it it was really weird and they had to use one of those like like those water guns in my ear right right oh really first they had me put um mineral oil or something no like the e the vitamin is it vitamin e the fish oil i don't know those like fish oil tablets they prescribed to me they were like pop them open and then pour those in your ear oh really because it'll soften it up yeah and then it created up it turned into my like the wax into a giant wax ball and then they they like i came back a week later and they like power shot my ear with like a water

gun yeah pressure washer so that's something you can do at home guys just fire a pressure washer it was pretty intense fire if you have a gas powered it it came out and the wax ball was so big really it was just well okay it's in a glass case in my home on a mantle for history but it was it was insane i was like how is that in my ear and my doctor was like next so i didn't really get an answer yeah no as i was reading it i was like damn is this true and then a lot of people are like yeah like if you if some people like they say just simply the water rushing from a shower will help take it out and also the way the your skin grows in your ear can like actually just bring the wax out naturally yeah they say they say the movement of your jaw from talking and chewing gently

kind of works the wax out of your ear. What about grinding your teeth while you sleep? Does that help? I don't know. I actually still use Q-tips. No, I do too. I'll die with a Q-tip in my ear. I don't think I'm going to stop. Even despite this, back to Jack's skull infection.

Yeah, I don't know, man. It's one skull infection and hours of pleasure. Is it pleasurable for you? Yeah, it's really pleasurable. Mine's strictly business. I'm not getting no pleasure. You fucking no music on, no nothing. You do it in the dark.

You're like, no, I'm in. I'm fucking out. But yeah, it was weird to read from numerous health things where it's like, yeah, I mean, you could. But if you really... They're saying if your wax buildup is pretty significant, then yeah, going to a doctor is probably the best option to protect yourself. Yeah. It's just like, I don't go to the doctor for a lot of stuff.

Yeah. I know. This seems like number one. That arm wound is starting to stink, dude. If you guys could see it. In Japan, though. That arm is starting to stink. It's like really big.

It's getting pretty cheesy, dude. In Japan, you use a bamboo pick. Oh, really? Yeah, where it looks like a fucking like coke spoon basically and like that's how you that's how you take your your earwax that's safer than a no that's like i feel like that like if you don't put anything in your ears fully fuck your ear and i remember my mom when i was a kid whenever she would try and clean my ear with that i was like nah like i didn't like it because it was so i could hear it just like fucking scraping in my ear and then she's like american people have different earwax than asian people she's like you have your dad's earwax i'm like what the fuck well there are different types of earwax but i

don't think it's racial i think it's look you know it's old-timey racism we should do a segment called mom myths yeah right like things your mom told you. Old wives tales. And dads too. Like weird stuff. Wet versus dry. Earwax. Doesn't matter. You're not supposed to clean it out. And I will continue to do so and probably go deaf.

What is something you think is underrated? I'm going to stay with cars and I'm going to go with automated car washes. Automated car washes. Holy shit, Craig. Are amazing. I was just trying to also do that this weekend. Really? Yeah.

We're on the same wavelength. Wait, so describe the automated kind of car wash you're talking about. Well, mine personally, in my neighborhood, it's like $13 for a super wax car wash. Super wax. You put it in neutral. You line up to that thing. There's, there's a little bit of theater and anticipation leading up to it.

You know, you got to push in your mirrors, you know, lower your antenna, you know, and then you just get whacked by those plastic things. And there's bubbles. It's like a sensory overload.

Yeah. And it takes me back to when I was a kid and going through car wash. So it's one that you get to sit inside the car as opposed to have to leave the car. That's auto, yeah. And then you're out. Well, there's places in LA where you have to wash your own car. Like, what's the point? Right.

For like three bucks, you get six minutes. Yeah, the coin-operated ones. Yeah. Like, I understand, like, paying a guy to do it, that's fine. Right. You know, I'm willing to do that. But I love to sit in the car and watch the show it is a good experience what do you listen to uh just uh you know psychedelic rock oh yeah moody blues or you know get your sitar out and play along

that guy's a little robbie shank right right it's yeah i was looking. My car was filthy. It still is filthy. I just hosed it off instead of getting a car wash because I don't believe in car washes. Anyway, I was looking for one, and the few that I looked at the reviews, they scared me away because they're like, the buffing thing ripped off my windshield wipers, and they acted like nothing happened or like, I don't know what happened to my door. And I was like, wait, the door was missing? No, like something happened where like there was i was like wait the door was missing somehow no well like something happened where like there was clearly scrapes along the thing where maybe the the spinning

scrubber thing may have damaged the like the paint but that's when also like i had to do that thing of like how much of this is an actual yelp review right and how much is someone projecting their own anger onto the automated car wash right long story short their car was probably so dirty they couldn't see the scratches before. Right, before. And then they cleaned it. They were like, what'd you do to my car, man?

They're like, my car is white? Yeah. Changed the whole paint of my car, man. It went from cream to white. And I'm sure AAA says don't wash your car in an automated car wash.

Because you never know. You can't trust it. Right. But I like it. Yeah. I just, yeah. I only went, I remember as a kid, I very vividly, of like begging to go through a drive-thru car wash, did it maybe once.

I hear it's safer to go through backwards, actually. Baller move. So Weight Watchers is still a thing. And although they have rebranded themselves, WW. Oh, great. Yeah. Because. That's not confusing to anyone.

Right. Double dubs. Yeah, double dubs. But they last week launched a new app called Curbo. K-U-R-B-O. Like turbo with a K. Oh, dude. I don't even know why that's so funny to me.

That's the worst fucking name. That's like your nickname for a dude named Kirby. Yeah. Like, yo, Curbo. What's up, Curbo? Yeah. Curbo, the Puckmeister. It is a weight loss app for children as young as eight years old.

I'm sorry, to be used by children? Yes, to be used by children, poor children. Just everything about this is depressing. So it starts out like at the very inception as kind of having the gloss of science because it was a app that was developed by Stanford University's Pediatric Obesity Program, University's Pediatric Obesity Program, which sounds scientific and professional. And there is a obesity problem in America and presumably in America's children. But from there, it just gets really weird with like some of it involves like they ask why you're doing this and like your goals can be to lose weight to please my parents and the website features before and after photos of once chubby kids who are now thin and that's in quotes uh the page

also includes the fine print results are not typical and yeah it just all kind of points the idea that thinness is the ideal standard yeah it's designed to promote not like health but like because you weigh in by like tracking your measurement and like setting goals there are things where it's like it groups foods into red groups yellow groups and green and is like try to eat more green less red uh and you know that could be a useful thing to like get promote kids eating healthily. Right. But it's it just has all these other places where it sort of gamifies like weight loss. Right. And visualizing it's like you're this, but you want to be this, which is why you need Curbo. Right. And as if, you know, kids aren't already getting like bombarded even more with like unrealistic ideas of how your life or body should look it's like yeah hi hi we want to

fucking make you do you want to mainline some body dysmorphic disorder into your fucking veins yeah at eight years old yeah so the national eating disorder association said that this poses some grave risks because it is like giving children advice with no in-person monitoring by medical professionals. So to kind of illustrate how this could go wrong, a dietitian went in and basically made a profile that was somebody with an eating disorder. Oh, like a fake kid yeah so created a fake profile for a 14 year old with a weight that would be low for her height uh her diet consisted only of mustard celery and water and she recorded hours of treadmill exercise the app then told her how well she was doing oh wow uh which so even when you put like what'd you eat today mustard celery and, celery, and water.

They're like, great. Good job. Keep going. Yeah. You're still fucked up looking. Yeah. And you're clearly in Los Angeles. Right.

Right. Yeah. You're only eating mustard and celery. Yeah. Is that a real diet? I think it's- Mustard and celery diet? I think it's one of those things that probably like eating disorder, like-

Well, because it's all water and just a little bit of flavor. It's just a way to trick yourself into like your body into thinking you're feeding it sustenance while not feeding it sustenance. But Weight Watchers take is sort of like, hey kids, you want to get your own health into your, like bring a control back into your hands with this app? Right. And I'm sure there are instances in which it is useful but it is like they're just putting it out there it's not a thing where you're getting

medical attention on a person-to-person basis to judge if this is going to be useful in that instance like right if if you're being monitored if you're using it in association with like a doctor kind of like working with you and your family, maybe that would work. But because it's being like, you know, treated like a an app that they're trying to like make a profit off of, it just is going to go wrong no matter what. Right. So like a more cynical thing is like that. a more cynical thing is like that this is the last dying gasp of Weight Watchers to try and like insert themselves and be like this is how you'll get control of your weight versus like the internet where you can find every fucking diet under the sun that people are into now right and doesn't you don't have to pay like a membership for that information yeah and just last year Weight Watchers

uh sparked a similar controversy when they announced a new program to provide free membership for teens between 13 and 17, which is using the first one's free drug dealer thing that, you know, drug dealers supposedly use against kids in high school. Right. I just like that they're saying it's what we're all about. Healthy habits, not a diet. Right. The idea of before and after photos for kids is really depressing, too. It's fucking disturbing. Because you're a kid, you're growing.

There's nothing but after photos. Yeah, like this one, there's two of like this one kid. It looks like the difference between when you're eight and ten. Right. It's like, yeah, you might look a little bit different when you start entering puberty. Right. Yeah. But this is him.

Hey, pretty fucked up. Happiness after three months of Curbo. Yeah. And clearly we've run out of app names. There are no longer any him. Hey. Pretty fucked up. Happiness after three months of Curbo. Yeah. And clearly we've run out of app names. There are no longer any good app names left. Curbo. Yeah, the kids are going to love that. Yeah.

Only pharmaceutical names are worse. Sounds like a video game in a, like, 80s movie. Right. Where they're, like, just figuring out what video games are. Bitch, you can't beat my high score on Curbo. Right. Check this out. Oh, that's the movie where that kid gets zapped into Curbo, right?

Right. He needs to live in that world. He needs to fight his way out of Curbia. What's something that's overrated? This is going to spark controversy, but it's not that bad. Getting rid of plastic straws. No, I agree. I get rid of all plastic then.

Don't take my straws away I will bring my own glass in If I can keep the straw There you go I will literally Recycle everything but my plastic straws There you go You don't have to whisper

I'm on your same team I personally that turtle really fucked up the PR It was one motherfucking turtle And now we gotta act like every turtle out here Swimming and getting the straw in his nose It's some bullshit I personally, that turtle really fucked up the PR. It was one motherfucking turtle. And now we got to act like every turtle out here swimming and getting the strongest nose. It's some bullshit. Also, like, if you open any Apple product, you have to cut through 97 boxes to get in plastic. And then you talk to Steve Jobs himself to get through the phone. So, like, why can't we get rid of all of this single, it's not even single use plastic when you're talking about packaging.

It's just shit to make your shit look nice, but I can't have a straw in my mouth. Wow. Thank you. I'm switching areas. Wow. Like, what is this? Big plastic energy in the building. That's just big paper. Trying to suck on a soggy straw. It's the same shit where, you know, unfortunately, it's one of those problems

that, rather at the industrial level, they're passing that problem down to the consumer and be like, you know, it's actually your fault. It's like, no, no, no, no, sir, sir, sir. And then the attitude you get when you ask for a straw, you're looking for a straw, and the people behind the counter, and I'm like, okay, listen, it's a bigger problem.

I will not use anything but like, you know, and then they look at you like you're a, can I swear? Yeah. A fucking douche from all hell. Whoa. Because Nancy behind the counter is like, we're at straws. Fucking douche from all hell. I don't think anyone's ever said that on this show.

I just had too much cold brew. Anna gave me more. And now I'm screaming. I'm screaming fucking douche from all hell. I've never said it before in my life. It's a tough thing. Because, you know, on one hand, I agree that obviously when you look at like the gyre in the Pacific Ocean and things like that, they're like, God damn it. But then I'm like, okay, fine.

I will bring my own bags to the store. Like I'm cutting down on my shit that way. Right. But the fucking, y'all have not figured out this paper straw. You really haven't. It has not. Or the metal where I'm like, am I at the dentist? Can I just, can I please have a straw?

Yeah. It just, it hits my teeth and I go, oh God. It's like nails on chalkboard. The paper dissolves into your mouth, then you choke and you almost die. And then the ones without the straw, I'm like, who's going to pay my dry cleaning bill? Because I dump it all over me. This is a real problem. I think we just need better, like, you know, like I could see you, Erin, having like your own straw, like one that you use all the time. Would you do that if it wasn't, you know like i could see you aaron having like your own straw like one that

you use all the time would you do that if it wasn't you know metal and or you'd like the disposable if i have to i can reuse my straw you know like figure it out remember how like back in the 90s every promotional item was a water bottle yes with a fucking thick ass straw yes like that straw from that water bottle could you you rock that infinitely maybe? Completely. Okay, so we're finding a middle ground, you know? I don't know. I mean, I don't want to. I wanted to say no, but he was so positive. No, no, it's fine.

He's such a nice guy. The only reason I'm going to say no is because I know there's somebody behind this straw shit and it ain't the goddamn environment because America ain't never been this thoughtful about shit, okay? It's the reason why literally plastic is everywhere, but except for straws. Who is big paper? Who's behind this? Who's making the coin off this limp, bad straw?

I'm tired of sucking limp straw. Wow. Preach. We are now really good friends. Please be a better friend. Yo, Aaron, I like you. As soon as you said the bracelet thing, I said, oh, yes, a scammer.

I love me a scammer. Well, you know, one person might say scammer. Another person might say someone with infinite generosity. Yeah. You know what I mean? I have a huge heart that likes plastic straws. Exactly. And you want your friends to join in on the fun with you.

I'm just saying, turtles live for a long time, and we need to bring that turtle back out. I want to see that turtle and how it's recovering. I mean, I see more agents with straws in their nose at parties than I do turtles out there, so I'm more worried about that. Hey, here we go. I've seen so many coked up turtles, I can more agents with straws in their nose at parties than I do turtles out there. So I'm more worried about that. Hey, here we go. I've seen so many coked up turtles. I can't even tell you. Now, I will say most people who are doing cocaine do do it environmentally soundly with

either a classy cocaine spoon or their keys. Or your podcast movement lanyard in Orlando. You just said classy cocaine spoon. Oh, yeah. And a host of Yayo. For the record. Anna Hosni-Yay-yo. For the record, that was a joke for y'all. It is a joke. Who take everything people say on this microphone for real.

Anna's so healthy. Anna is actually straight edge, which y'all don't know. She has the X's tattooed on her hands, and we Photoshop that out in every photo. Well, speaking of questioning the seafood, Food TV's got a new show that sounds like it is a parody of itself, but apparently it's real. Yeah. I mean, cooking shows have always, like, they've had this evolution, right, from, like, dry tutorials of, like, this is how you make this thing. And then we started getting into, like, the more highbrow competitions, like your Top Chefs and your Hell's Kitchens and Master Chefs. And then you get these, like the more highbrow competitions, like your top chefs and your Hell's Kitchens and MasterChefs.

And then you get these like half hybrid comedies. It's social justice commentary at this point, like with Ugly Delicious. Have you seen that? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just like, it's more like, this is the history of the hot dog and how people were oppressed as they were in the labor camps. And I'm just like, oh shit, okay. And now we're getting more of like the jokey stuff so now there is a new show on quibi again i don't know what the i feel like everything's

about to be on quibi for whatever reason uh in 2020 but it's almost like half japanese game show half legit cooking show so it's hosted by titus burgess and each episode, quote, starts with the cannon blasting of a mystery food dish into the faces of two blindfolded chefs. They'll use their culinary prowess to identify the exploded dish and then race against the clock to recreate it. Whichever chef comes closest to the original dish

wins a cash prize. Now, let's say it's hot soup. Perfect. Are they just going to be like, ah! Yeah, that would be hilarious. The whole first five minutes is just them screaming and having their wounds tended to. It's like a paella, so there's a bunch of shellfish and shells cutting your face up. I don't know.

I mean, I think it's sort of, you know, that's what's kind of becoming funny because Nailed It helps sort of democratize things a bit. It's like, see, man, nobody can get this shit done. But now sort of saying like oh you're so good how good are you are you so good we can explode a meal on your face why are we why are we doing this to chefs like why do we hate chefs because so much so as americans we do not like experts we do not like expertise so we've seen these people be better than us and be un, like we can't, they're unrelatable. So now we have to bring them down and humiliate them on national TV. They do it to comedians.

They do. They do. Yeah, right. It's really, really, I just like those. I like the,

when, when the guy has like on a chopped or whatever, when the guy has nothing to play for, really, that's not that deep. Right, right. Oh, my dad died of cancer. Right.

Oh, man, you know, just shit. Just trying to take a few weeks off, you know what I'm saying? Go to the valley, like, you know, trip off, go to Vegas. Never been out here. Yeah, that's what I'm playing for today. That's funny, yeah. The producers, I always find people with heavy fucking stories on Chopped. It's almost like, I get it, producers, thank you.

But sometimes I've turned off an episode because I'm like, that was so heavy. Someone recently lost a parent, and they're like, I'm here despite what happened. Like, oh, hold on, hold on, hold on. You could tell when they were like, we need to punch this up a little bit more because then they'll just dramatize something very basic. Getting fired. Can we get the filming to be during the funeral so that they're really conflicted about it? Yeah.

Then they cut that person. I'm sorry. Your dream ends here. That didn't really work out. They're like, I'm here to just honor my father's memory. And they're like, well, unfortunately, this dish did not honor his memory. So Quibi, by the way, for people who weren't listening to that episode when we covered it, isn't that the 10-minute TV shows or something that Steven Spielberg?

It just has all this funding. Everybody, yeah. It's going to be a mobile app where you watch TV shows that are made specifically to be 10, 15 minutes long. And they've got a lot of good talent. They've got Punk'd coming back. Really? They've got a show where they fire hot soup in chefs' faces. It sounds perfect for commuter entertainment.

Yeah. I don't know, man. I'm still skeptical. What's your qualms? I don't know. They're basically creating a new genre of entertainment. Like, I've never seen somebody put the cart this far before the horse where they're just, like, they're signing all the talent on and then just being like, and... And it'll be tight.

It'll be tight. Well, there was one case, a little company called CISO. Right. That's what I'm saying. That I was a part of. People have been trying to do this for a long time and signing really great talent. And it just feels like the ability to, you know, create art form that is like 10 minutes long and like just really short bite-sized stuff.

I don't, I just, it's a lot of people have tried it. Yeah. I mean, there's a difference between selling good and selling different. Right. You know what I mean? It's just like, this is a different idea. Yeah. You don't know if it's going to fail.

Right. All right. Because it's so different. It's never been done. But this is also always the feedback you get from executives when you're first starting like podcasts. They were like, got to make it quick, man. People don't have long attention spans.

Two minutes, man. Yeah. And then like some of the best podcasts are like hours long. And it's like people, that actually isn't true. People don't want to have to keep choosing what their next podcast is. They want you to like, you know, spend some time with them. Yeah. I mean, you can't beat a good story ever.

Right. You know what I mean? And if people don't want a long podcast from people who don't know what they're doing right but if you if you got a good story you know how to tell it you know people are tuning in people will still get locked down right yeah and youtube videos like they like it's a hack now to make them longer because yeah it's been longer to watch yeah so i mean again like it doesn't work if you're not good at it, but the videos are now trending higher and higher

in terms of run time. So I just feel like there's always this idea that we gotta dumb it down, shorten it, make it really quick, and it hasn't really worked out that way. Do we know if Quibi is behind a paywall or it's ad sponsored? I think it must be

ad sponsored. Yeah, because that would be the death knell, where it's ad sponsored? I think it must be ad sponsored. Yeah, because that would be the death knell where it's like, okay, hold on. You want me to pay shell out money? So people are going to pay $30 a month to watch 10-minute videos? No. Right. There's just too much good entertainment. It's way too much, yeah.

Yeah. It's way too much entertainment. I don't know if it's way too much good. Yeah, that's true. There's just too much to choose from. All right. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist

Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. Well, let's talk about somebody else who saw a see-through jar of money. An ex, I guess, head of vice president of production for one of Robert De Niro's companies,

this woman named Chase Robinson, being sued for fucking $6 million uh because she was quote spending astronomical amounts of time watching netflix and other various forms of time wasting and i'm just going to read you this this snippet from variety because it's it just tells you everything you need to know about this wonderful employee the company says she rarely came into the office and alleges she spent quote astronomical amounts of time watching netflix during work hours the company alleges she spent, quote, astronomical amounts of time watching Netflix during work hours. The company alleges that during a four-day period in January, she watched 55 episodes of Friends. On one of those days, she ordered lunch from Caviar San Francisco and had dinner at Paola's

restaurant, charging both meals on the company card. Over another four-day period in March, she allegedly watched 20 episodes of Arrested Development and 10 episodes of Schitt's Creek. I mean, so far, look, it sounds like she's taking care of herself. She likes to laugh. Honestly, this is a reboot culture, and I was only watching 55 Hours of Friends because I'm trying to make friends with Robert De Niro.

Oh, right, right. Robert De Niro's friends. This is what I'm thinking, Robert. You are Chandler Bing. Yeah. How do you feel about that? How do you feel about that? I don't know.

There's a lot going on with apparently she was constantly there was a lot of rumors about her that she was like involved in corporate sabotage is a word they use in this Variety article. I don't know exactly what that means. But when you go on, this is what they say. According to the company, they say watching shows on Netflix was not in any way part of or related to the duties and responsibilities of her employment on information and belief was done for her personal entertainment, amusement and pleasure at times when she was being paid to work is what the suit alleges. And it also alleges that Robinson made twelve thousand like twelve thousand six hundred ninety six dollars in unauthorized charges at Paola's over a two year period.

In addition to eighty nine hundred dollars at Dean and DeLuca whole foods and thirty two thousand dollars for uber rides and taxis thirty two thousand dollars for uber rides and taxis my good sis was going on road trips i mean she said y'all trying to go to vegas it sounds like she's losing in the fitbit pool right yeah unless she also had a scam where she put it in the dryer and just let it rotate and get in those steps like that. Wait, I have a question. Why wasn't she fired on week one? How is this? If you're at a job, right, and I'm always going to cheer for the worker to extort as much money off corporate America as possible.

Her salary was $300,000, FYI. That's what her salary was? $300,000. So I don't understand. Where is the oversight? If someone comes in and they're watching, they documented all the Netflix, but she wasn't fired? I'm sorry that's on them.

She started as an assistant to De Niro in 2008 and then was promoted to vice president of production of production and finance but that's probably more in the production side i have a feeling right if you look i know people who have fucked around and embezzled money at companies they don't catch on until like they start realizing there's abnormalities because there's typically they're like oh that person's on the level yeah and then when you start being like hold on man money's going weird places and then you start analyzing shit that's when people start putting it together. You have a little bit of a window to fuck around.

I find this so ridiculous. Productivity and finance, she's the most unproductive person, and she's spending all the money. But where is the, who's in charge? That's like she's doing the anti-job. Like if someone hired you to be a security guard but instead you just stole everything. Right, right, right. Exactly. Like we hired you to protect our merch and you're stealing it. No, I'm redistributing it. To my home.

Yeah. But what I love about this is that you say she started it as an assistant because to me that says that she's probably a real scammer who learned the ins and outs. Like when you start on a lower level you start noticing where the holes are. Yeah. Like much easier. So you're like, oh Robert don't even be looking at these files. Right, exactly.

I'll be looking at these files every week. Exactly. Or she's also, and the person that does, I know she's getting fucked up on her job anyway. So if she says something, I'm going to tell Robert that she's fucked up on Xanax all day.

But how do you, the documentation, the specificity of 69 episodes of, like someone had to document that. Yeah. So you can't just pull that out of your ass get that information maybe she had a company computer there's net i guess but that's i'm like where you get those analytics because you can you check your netflix she was on deniro's login and she must have been on someone's yeah i mean like a true scammer but like i'm curious

how you even get those that information it's kind of like the greatest employee story that's what i mean i don't know i don't know and like the and and like i don't know for i always think the greatest way to end a job was that flight attendant at jet blue yeah when he pulled the thing went out the emergency slide with a six-pack yeah to me that's the greatest working man story of all time. The mic drop. This one is second place. This is pretty good. The other part.

What about the resignation? I mean, it's a leap. Put the icing on the cake. So she is allowed to resign for some reason. Like they don't they're not even like firing her. I feel like if you stealing like this, it's got to be like the security cars come get you and put your shit in the back. I had De Niro wrapped around her finger.

She must have because she got to send in a resignation letter where she disregarded all of these charges as false and inflammatory. Ridiculous. Ridiculous, as she said. And then she writes herself a letter of recommendation, which she gives to Robert De Niro to sign. He declines. However, she'd been working as his assistant for years, so she probably just still wrote that letter. Yeah, she's like, yeah, I know your signature.

Watch this. She was like, Robert, I was giving you a chance to do the right thing. But you know what? But since you're not going to, give me my quill. I got this. My quill. I love that she writes it with a quill. It's just, all right, another, obviously this is bad behavior.

However, what again, I'm just amazed at her confidence. Yeah. Like her just going through life like, oh, I can do whatever I want. I mean, it's probably one of those things too within the company, people were just taking advantage. Yeah. I mean, I've seen instances of people at like an actor's production company

when they start their own little boutique production company and there's a lot of fucking around sometimes especially if like their friends are involved and things like that

so I wonder if just the culture in there was like, dude, none of these people care. Robert doesn't know. They're pulling in a billion dollars a year

through all his business ventures like what's fucking 32K and Ubers? And he's working. Right. And he's working so he's probably not there overlooking everybody's shoulder like, what's fucking 32K and Uber? And he's working. Right. And he's working. So he's probably not there overlooking everybody's shoulder.

Like, what are we working on today? He's too busy hanging out with anti-vaxxers. Right. All right. That's going to do it for this week's weekly Zeitgeist. Please like and review the show if you like the show.

It means the world to Miles. He needs your validation folks. Uh, I hope you're having a great weekend and I will talk to you Monday. Bye. Thank you. into a mafia state.
