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 laugh-stravaganza. Yeah. So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. What is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Oh, so I googled what it means when your dog keeps sleeping under your bed, when they used to sleep on your bed. So rather than on top with you? Yeah, so he used to sleep on my bed,

and I used to try to teach him not to, but then he just did it, and I was like, okay. And then all of a sudden, he won't sleep on my bed, and I kind of feel like it's like a, you know. Personal rejection. Yeah, it really feels like I'm in a loveless marriage. Sure. He did just get his annual checkup, and he's fine,

so it's not a health thing. So I thought maybe he was having some sort of emotional aversion to me. But most articles just said like they it might be depression, which I'm not sure. Or it might be that they just are hot. But it really feels like the way he's been like, we'll come home. And now instead of going to my room where he usually does he goes to my roommate's room and her door's usually closed and then he sniffs for a moment and then looks at me and then goes to my room so I'm like

this dog he never scratches at your roommate's door though right because that would be a dagger through my heart right that would be like please get me away from this bitch exactly it does feel like a very subtle emotional warfare yeah I feel like he's trying to tell me that he doesn't want to be in this relationship i really don't know what to do like do you give up a dog

that doesn't love you as much anymore was there no like evolutionary reason for that because i i always wondered why like my dog always sleeps at the foot of my bed yeah and there and i read that it's like a pack animal thing. Like where they're just like, no, my station is to be at the foot. I think that's what I've read that I'm supposed to be the alpha. Perhaps I did something that in his eyes ashamed him. You self-cucked in front of your dog.

Perhaps, so now he doesn't respect me and he's choosing to. This weak ass master. It's very bizarre. I don't have an answer. Any dog owners out there. I think you've got to beat up another dog in front of him. Right. I do, yeah.

Oh, you know what we'll do? Okay, so he doesn't speak English, but I will. Well, you don't know that. Yeah, he is here, so I do feel a little awkward. Okay, well, we'll test this out. I will come and fake rob him on the street. Oh, and I'll save him. Yes, exactly. Throw hot coffee in my eyes.

I think I have to defend a boat from a robber. Right, right. And then he'll save him yes exactly throw hot coffee in my eyes I think I have to defend our abode from a robber right and then he'll respect me again exactly and don't tell your roommate either

because her whoever your roommate is you don't want them to you want them to react as authentically

as possible so the dog knows that you are the protector yeah I think that's a very good idea

I think I'll do that so if anyone wants to rob me I will give you my address after the show but if that doesn't work the only responsible thing is for you Yeah, I think that's a very good idea. I think I'll do that. So if anyone wants to rob me, I will give you my address. After the show.

But if that doesn't work, the only responsible thing is for you to give him to me because your dog is adorable and I want him. He does kind of look a little like Finn. They have similar mannerisms. Yeah, he's like a less just messed up looking. My dog has an eye that goes in all sorts of different directions. I like to call that an independent eye. Woo-Woo has wonky eyes. Oh, really? Yeah, his eyes are wonky.

You call him wonky, I'll call him independent. I'll call him wonky. You know what I mean? Not dependent on the other one. The independent spirit award goes to my dog's eye. The right one. The thing I was thinking of, remember in that piece about, what's her name?

The Calloway influencer. Caroline Calloway. Yeah. There was a reference to how she would like had a bunch of King Charles Cavaliers or whatever. And I thought, I was like, I wonder what Jack thought.

Yeah. No, all narcissists. That's our favorite type of dog. Was it that she wasn't taking, what was it the reference to like, and like another King Charles that she would barely pay attention to?

She wouldn't pay, she wouldn't take care of it. And other people had to deal with it. Yeah, I also think more dogs would sleep under beds if they thought about it. It's more comfortable. I mean, logically. Well, no, dogs like caves. Dogs used to live in dens.

And so that's a comfortable thing for them to do. It's comforting. Yeah. It's not the fact that he's under the bed. It's the fact that all of a sudden he went from it. Yeah, something changed. And I'm like, okay. Sorry.

I think I just have to work on our relationships. Maybe I should pass him around to other friends for a couple weeks at a time. And then that way let him explore his options. Or like a... We can talk about all kinds of ways to manipulate your dog emotionally later. Look, it's clearly something you did. I was just trying to scare you.

What is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? Hey bro, concepts. Have you ever considered how concepts aren't real? Are you making fun of me right now? No, I was just this bro.

But like, but again, I was like, Oh, it's my fourth or fifth time here. Yeah. And I need to come up with another myth that I can debunk, you know,

cause I was like, there's plenty of myths out there, but one that I can debunk. And I just thought based on what I've experienced this year, I was like, there's plenty of myths out there, but one that I can debunk. And I just thought, based on what I've experienced this year, I was like, prove to me that any concept that you actually experience is real. You know, so you can read something. So the example I use is, I think, Jenny, the neuroscientist, right? She can be in a black and white room and learn about the color red, right? Everything, the radio wave, you know, how it can be used.

It represents love, but also danger, all of those things. But until she steps out of that room and actually sees the color red, she hasn't had the full information, right? And so then it becomes this really interesting thing where you go, okay, I've studied my entire life this thing that exists out there in the universe or past the universe or about time and stuff. But until you really experience it, like for people that make beers, right? You can make beer, you can put the ingredients in, in the universe or past the universe or about time and stuff. But until you really experience it, like for people that make beers, right? You can make beer, you can put the ingredients in, right water, barley, all of that delicious, yum, yum, yum.

But until you're like drunk on beer. And sipping it, yeah, right, right. You haven't had the full experience of beer. Right. And so it makes, creatively speaking, and actually philosophically speaking and stuff, and actually maybe to evolve as a human being it's interesting

to start thinking about the concepts that you believe in and then maybe see if you can break them down to truly understand the universe wow how do you experience

welcome Alan Watts to the studio but yeah it's true I think that the experience I mean we can know so many things intellectually right

but like but experience even just even adding experiences, even to your point, might not be something you think you need or don't need or whatever, but just always giving yourself new stimulation through experience can lead to tremendous growth. Time is measured by change, right? And so, for example, a brain will always measure something for the first time.

So you always remember your first kiss and first this, first that. And as you get older, people are more and more afraid of doing more firsts. Right. And therefore, time sort of moves in a sort of like, meh kind of way, which is why you should constantly keep challenging yourself to experience firsts or read about firsts or do more firsts. Right, right. Because then all of a sudden, your memory bank just keeps filling

because your brain goes, this is first. Let's remember this this this is why people in the car crash they say like it moved slowly bro i don't know why everyone's like hanging out a lot of surfers like a fucking freshman philosophy student who just took a bong hit yeah um yeah but yeah stimulate your mind yeah stimulate yeah because it's true like you know true. You can go to that same bar for the 900th time. That's not going to really necessarily open up something new in your memory. But you might remember trying, like, shit, maybe I will go to this weird grunge show, even though I don't fuck with grunge all the time. I'm trying to do that with music, too, now.

Oh, good for you. Because I like music, but there's some genres of music where I'm like, I don't know if I'm interested in seeing a live show of this, because I wouldn't really listen to it normally. But I'm more like, no, you know what? Take in the experience of seeing this other form of music where I'm like, I don't know if I'm interested in seeing a live show of this because I wouldn't really listen to it normally, but I'm more like, no, you know what? Like to take in the experience of seeing this other form of music. That's the thing as well, taking in the experience, even if you don't really fit in or you don't like it, just be chill, enjoy it, take it all in. Yeah. It's quite fun. Well, being uncomfortable typically leads to huge growth or something like, you know, like even when you're a kid, right? Like when I was playing sports,

I would, when I've had to, when I was good enough to play with like a lot older kids in hockey, like I was very scared. Cause I was like, these kids are two years older than me. And like when you're 12, that's like a whole fucking universe of size. Yeah.

But, but that experience of being uncomfortable, like forced me to improve or whatever. It's like anything, just put yourself in uncomfortable positions and you will prevail. Guys. I want to talk about the show The Righteous Gemstones on HBO and its real world equivalent that is unfolding in Virginia with Jerry Falwell's children and grandchildren. So first of all, shout out to HBO. Whoever is green green lighting these shows

is fucking nailing the zeitgeist like 20 months in advance Chernobyl was like so perfect which I guess wasn't like so hard to predict because you knew we had an administration coming in with their head like all the way up their ass

on climate change the sort of obscuring of truth and how that's used in service of darker ends and things like that but with righteous gemstones i mean i they and danny mcbride fully nailed uh the falwell family like i mean i guess i guess they've been around for a while but it's it's pretty wild like the the stuff that is being revealed about how Jerry Falwell Jr., who is the charisma-less bearded guy who shows up at a lot of like Republican events and talks like this, like in really slow motion, deadpan. Is he swirling a sort of cold iced tea as he speaks? Yeah. Well, well, well, welcome to my declare.

Not even, he's very like, but on, on very not memorable. Yeah. It's like, what? Oh yeah. That guy. Yeah. And then you're like, where's your guy? The, your, wasn't your dad, the guy that was like, tell the tubbies are going to make kids

gay or something. Yeah. But he was also, his dad basically invented the whole, like what we know now as the Baptist born again movement that we associate most like American Christianity with. Jerry Falwell Sr. like invented that essentially. Right. And he died in 2007. Jerry Falwell II took over basically the whole company and control of Liberty University, which was a university that was started by his dad. It is a non-profit, not-for-profit, which means you're

not allowed to profit, you're not allowed to have a political motive. And he has all of those things and blatantly uses it to self-deal himself great real estate opportunities. Oh, like in the name of buying it for the school or something? Yes, exactly. The school sold his personal trainer this gorgeous, huge property so that Jerry Falwell Jr. could work out there and sold it to him for like an incredibly cheap price oh wow uh he's also like childishly horny and like talks to everybody about how he has sex with his wife and like nails her and he's like oh i nail my wife so hard and like she can't handle my big dick bro that's shit he's saying like to like his co-workers

co-workers i'm like there i guess who are the co-workers at this weird church right anyway they're probably like hell yeah dude and then like no what's that no everybody's like what so they're like actually conservative christians who are like i would never say that they're like this is a fucking nightmare it's like a dictatorship under this dude like everybody is terrified and just disgusted behind his back but around him they're all just like ah you said it jf you nail her you got it man nailed her for sure doggy uh sex god he once sent a picture of his wife in like a french maid's outfit uh around to a bunch of like board members and I was like, sorry, guys. Meant to send that to my personal trainer.

It's like, no, you didn't. You fucking creep. But also, I feel so desperately sorry for him. No. I mean, obviously, no, because he's being incredibly rude to his wife. I think if you can extract all the evil shit he does and exploitative bullshit he does under the- It's just the saddest thing, isn't it?

It's like, hey, guys, look, I do have sex with a lady i feel like you don't he really reminds me of uh donald trump jr like the the whole first of all his beard and chinless beardedness but also just his like never really experienced discomfort other than his father's disapproval and so takes it out on everybody else. Jack, may I interrupt you here? You said chinless as if that was a really bad thing. I would like to explore that further. Because take a good look at my face, Jack.

I don't have a chin myself. And you said chinless in such a way that... I'm looking right there. What he says tracks. I need a beard to make it seem like I've got a there. I, man, what he says tracks. It's I need a beard to make it seem like I've got a chin, but if I shave, man,

like Gavin McGinnis, like that famous video he did years ago before he became Mr. Proud boys was like talking about why he needs a beard. Oh, really shaved. And he's like, cause I don't have a, it was like when you saw that,

I was like, Oh, there's that energy that will be to evolve into what a proud boy is. Yeah. Then you have Eric who's self-actualized and empathetic. And he's like, well, we're all dealt chins. Some have bigger chins than others. Some get huge ones, though, too.

Jay Leno. Reese Witherspoon, what a beautiful chin she has. Oh, my God. I want to hold that chin. The most adorable chin. I want to tuck it goodnight. Would you ever get a chin implant? No, I have considered getting my gums smaller.

Your gums smaller? Or bigger teeth. You Americans have massive teeth. Well, they're all veneers. Everyone's got veneers. Right. And I've got these tiny little milk teeth still. And so if I smile, and if you really make me smile,

the upper lip sort of hides under itself. And then all of a sudden you reveal this gargantuan amount of gum. But it's the wonder of you. Did you hang out with other Zayt guests, Jamie Loftus at all in Edinburgh? I didn't see them because I actually lived outside of Edinburgh. So whenever I'd come in,

I'd do my show and I'd get out. She's a veneers expert. Oh yeah. She loves... She'll spot veneers like from literally three blocks away. She'll be like, someone's about to come around the corner with veneers like from literally three blocks away so like someone's about to come around the corner with veneers you're like how did you okay whatever that's that's your sad mutant powers yeah she's like it's not a useful superpower but it's a superpower

but they um so anyways getting back to this politico article they uh it's written by somebody who's a graduate of liberty university and so who has had it right well they've just they're a journalist they've written for the new york times and they are just dealing with like contacts they have right right right right um anyways the way that uh jerry falwell jr has chosen to deal with this is by trying to get the FBI to investigate the writing of the story because emails were leaked in connection with the story. That's your defense? That's his defense. How the heck did people find out what I say? Right.

That's a crime, I think. And the day after he said that that's how he was dealing with it, Reuters had some emails from him that they published where he called one student an emotionally imbalanced and physically retarded and called the school's chief of police a halfwit who is easy to manipulate. What? Like a villain just bragging about how easy it is for them to get away with their crime so there's also an amazing character named trey who's actually jerry falwell the third that's why he's called trey uh boy and he is a in addition to being like having some big you know puffed up position inside the Liberty University family, is a Miami party boy with a hostel and always out at the clubs. Took a picture of $12,000 of cash on his hotel bed in Manhattan when he went up there with his homie to do a job for Michael Cohen back when he was part of Trump's organization. I had to delete that.

There was also pictures of he and his dad partying at a Miami nightclub that they had to get taken down off the internet. That might be the best moment in the story. So if you don't mind, I want to just read a couple excerpts from that. So there were images of Jerry Falwell Jr. and his son, Trey, going hard in a nightclub. At a nightclub. On July 19th, 2014, popular Swedish DJ John Dahlbach performed at Wall, a nightclub in Miami Beach. That night, the club happened to have a photographer on site

to grab candid shots of the revelry. The photos were shared online by World Red Eye, an outlet that documents Miami's nightlife scene. And Jerry and Trey Falwell were visible in some of the pictures. The outlet identified Trey by name. In a statement on August 21st, Jerry Falwell denied the existence of any photo of him at the club. There was no picture snapped of him at the club. There was no

picture snapped of me at Wall nightclub or any other nightclub, Falwell wrote. I'm sure you already knew that, though. When told that I had obtained a photo of him for this article, Falwell said I was, quote, terribly mistaken. If you show me the picture, I can probably help you out, he

wrote. I think you are making some incorrect assumptions or have been told false things or are seeing something that was photoshopped the old it's probably photoshopped uh after i sent him the photo as well as a photo of trey at wall fall well responded i never asked anyone to get rid of any pictures on the internet of me and i never have seen the picture you claim is of me below if the person in the picture is me it was likely photoshopped in a second email sent 23 minutes later falwell wrote but the bigger question brandon is why would i want a picture like that

taken down if i had seen it oh wow which doesn't really like make sense he's clearly spinning out yeah they include the picture you can like see jerry falwell just like you know grinning stupidly amongst like a bunch of 18 year old like fucking scene kids he looks like he's they're like on molly or something he looks like he's gurning or something he's like chewing on like a fucking cocktail straw like hey dude is a fucking is there another set after this? Right. According to several people at direct knowledge of the situation, Falwell, the president of a conservative Christian college that frowns upon co-ed dancing,

parentheses, liberty students can receive demerits if seen co-ed dancing, and prohibits alcohol use, parentheses, for which students can be expelled oh uh that is so puritan according to sources he was angry that photos of him clubbing made it online to remedy the situation multiple liberty staffers said falwell went to john gauger 12 gauger man uh whom they characterize as his it guy and asked him to downgrade the photo's prominence on Google searches. Gager did not respond to requests for comment.

Gager has worked at Liberty since earning his MBA and is basically like his body man. And Falwell essentially asked him to get them down in terms of their Google search ranking. He's like, Gager, you know how this SEO shit works, right? Or this Google fucking crap, dude. Just get rid of it.

Like those pictures of A-Rod with his shirt off. Right. Exactly. They did a great job. Yeah. It's hard to find those pics. Gager has also run Redfinch LLC, an online business.

He founded that specializes in search engine optimization uh and liberty paid red finch 123 000 dollars in 2016 so that's like the sort of underhanded like self-dealing shit that they do they have employees of liberty university who then have their own companies that liberty then pays out shit loads of money to uh there's also a lot of stuff where they are doing things that are blatantly like in favor of trump for instance they changed the day that finals were on during uh an election year because they wanted kids and like told kids to go out and vote conservative hey you can't do that yes well good to know that like but i mean yeah that's what scummy people do.

It's just like what Trump does. Like anybody who's running a fucking, you know, a below board business. You're like, yeah, I got fixtures on payroll. Well, they have a consulting company. I pay out. I call it. I tell people he's my IT guy. Meanwhile, he's a person who scrubs the Internet of like damaging shit about us.

Yeah. But if he's so worried about the photo, can't he just Sharpie himself out of it? Right. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. He's like, you're deeply mistaken. Took care of it. I didn't realize the Sharpie was such a powerful tool in American politics.

Oh, hell yeah, man. Yeah, dude. You know what they say, the Sharpie's mightier. They do say that. All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. break. We'll be right back.

Poisoning us to... Even though they're another hyper conservative pizza outlet. At least they're poisoning us with pleasure. They have created the stuffed Cheez-It pizza. Now, what is it you ask? To me, it looks like if you spilled the ooze from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on a box of Cheez-It pizza. Now, what is it, you ask? To me, it looks like if you spilled the ooze from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on a box of Cheez-Its.

That's what this thing is. They say you can eat it in about, they don't give the actual dimensions, but they say it's a two to three bite. Okay. In the picture, it looks like a Cheez-It, which I'm imagining is small.

It looks like a throw pillow. In my mind, that's how big that is. But that's- You're thinking like- No, because that bucket of ketchup is like, or whatever, marinara. But I need another thing for scale i wish again we knew what the scale was but what they're saying it's a it's a crust infused with the sharp cheddar flavor of

cheese it and stuffed with either cheese or pepperoni and marinara dipping sauce this is what i've been waiting for from my purely uh stoned uh point of view this must happen i mean this has i have to have it i will you know what i'm gonna try and order it so i can we can try it on the air or whatever you call this on the pod soon like you know how they have mozzarella sticks you they should make mozzarella pillows like right throw pillows that's a great idea oh yeah like those circular ones yeah just like a giant pillow for the group and everyone can just

hold on to it and eat it from the side oh whoa whoa okay you went out okay you went there you know they have fish bowls

they should just make mozzarella pillows you can't wait for the table I was thinking of a pillow an actual fabric pillow that looks like a big ass mozzarella stick oh no I think it should be

breaded and filled with cheese okay I would man you know but like 20 minutes into that thing when everyone's like saliva is on like their weird like rat bite part of the mozzarella stick and be like, you know what? Maybe we should throw this thing out. You got to eat it lady in the tramp style without using your hands. Yeah.

Four way kiss. Yeah. Yeah. Like a gigantic corn cob. Everyone get your, roll your sleeves up. We're eating this gigantic bread stick. And how do you eat corn? Huh? How do you eat corn on the cob pretty sure why am i on trial man i'm gonna eat my corn how i need to with a group uh now i

don't think this looks particularly good and i'm not a huge pizza hut fan but i am i do admire the fact that they actually fucked with the bread on this. Like they changed the crust into Cheez-It, whereas I was very disappointed in the KFC Cheetos where the breading around the chicken did not turn into Cheeto. They just put a Cheeto sauce on it. That's bullshit. The last company that actually changed the bread portion of the thing,

Doritos Locos Tacos. That is the best. Gospel. Church. changed the bread portion of the thing, Doritos Locos Taco. Preach. That is the best. Gospel. Church. Tabernacle. Yeah. Let's see.

I don't know. Will we try this? Dude, if we don't try it, I swear to God, I'm going to eat this shit this weekend. Okay. Because the thing is, health aside, politics aside, dignity aside aside i love cheez-its i remember as a child my love for cheez-its was undying and i went to a point where i ate so many cheez-its i couldn't eat them anymore but now the time has passed i'm remembering my past love i'm seeing it the glow up happened with an ex and i'm like you know what let's make another mistake thought you were going to say it was like topped with Cheez-Its.

And I was like, that's an interesting choice. Right. Well, yeah. But I think, you know, this could be the beginning of a very great partnership with Kellogg. Although that would be worth trying. Just order a pizza and then top it with Cheez-Its. I don't know. Do you like crunchy topping on a pizza like that?

There's a crunch of pepperonis. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, we'll have to do, I think, a number of tests with Cheez-Its and pizzas and figure out what the best version is. Would a Cheez-It melt if you heated it up? No.

It's a straight up cracker. Just a cracker. That shit will turn to ash and then just... Sizzle and fly away. Cheez-It is very like innovative. They have the well done Cheez-Its that you can get.

That's like the box full of the well done. They got well done's? Yeah. Don't they? I don't know. I have not bought a Cheez-It since Sophie Lichterman

has shuttled them into the office. Yeah. So they they're certain like every once in a while you'll get one in the box.

That's like a little bit darker, a little bit Brown. It's been a little extra time. And somebody, you know, found out that people were fucking with those and they just were like nothing but the well done. Yeah.

So she's, it's out here. Uh, they're, they're willing to take risks. Respect to brands who know that like, like weird one-off things in their box are like, what if we just did a whole thing of those?

It's all of that. Yeah. It's called understanding our consumer base. Let's talk instead about food regulators. Regulators! Mound up. So we've talked, I think, before about how in the U.S. food regulation is just a joke like the USDA. The food pyramid that we all grew up on is a joke that is at least partially influenced by huge food companies.

companies and you know what one of the ideas that seems to be behind a lot of u.s food and nutrition is uh like not that you should consume less or change what you're consuming just that you should like be more active uh but that in fact you should maybe consume more like the food pyramid is like eat your way to health by eating these foods all the time eat from each of these industries right a loaf of bread as one of your servings even when i was like a kid i'm like do i need this much bread teacher how many breads do i do a day they're like nine to nine it was eight to nine to nine servings of grains and bread. You know what's funny? Wow.

Now that I think about this, in school, we had to do a food pyramid coloring thing. Yeah. And my mom, I'm having a very vivid memory of her saying it was bullshit. It was complete bullshit. Because she was like, we didn't eat like this in Japan. No. And we live as long as everybody else. She's like, nine breads?

Japan lives much longer than everybody, or not everybody, but definitely longer than... I mean, we're out here. I'm not doing myself any favors with this Taco Bell. Miles is never going to die. But yeah, the one I used when I was a kid, it was six to 11 breads. No!

Six to 11. It was the bottom of the pyramid. Right, right, right. But I guess that's a carb, a starch. Have your pasta sandwich. Yeah, you're probably at five breads Yeah, your pasta and rice panini. Get me some flour in these veins. Six to 11 breads. that if there were going to be these regulating forces, regulating committees,

they would create their own regulating committees and put big food scientists on those regulating committees and just have the meetings for them at five-star hotels, and they would fly nutritionists out to them and stuff. So there's one in particular that's called the ILSI. It is the, let me. International Life Sciences Institute. The International Life Sciences, which sounds great, doesn't it?

Yeah, it sounds. International Life Sciences. I like the word international. I like life. I like science institute. Institutes are fine. But it's, so during the 80s and 90s, they were basically doing the bidding of the tobacco industry. trustees on their board have been named to committees for different governments where they overrode existing like accepted science for instance there was the uh monsanto um oh great

what's the monsanto thing that round up yeah Yeah. So, uh, there was a world health organization study that said that, uh, Monsanto's roundup had an ingredient that was carcinogenic. Right. And, uh, that was accepted science. And then a person from this life science Institute,

uh, like worked on a committee that overrode that and said that it quote probably isn't carcinogenic wait but how does this life science institute work because like if it's a non-governmental body how are they influencing they just get like named like they're they just become incredibly influential by recruiting like major people oh and then inoculating them, educating them, then sending them out into the world with their stamp on their back of, I'm ILSI approved.

It was founded by a Coca-Cola executive and seems to share key parts of Coca-Cola's nutrition philosophy, which is- uh wait there's a coca-cola nutritional philosophy yeah well the way it's basically a marketing strategy okay yeah it's that uh you stress physical activity over dietary changes so you know all those stories where it was like your your sedentary uh your sedentary lifestyle is the cause of your obesity. It's just another, yeah, it's like another blamey tact of like, you got to eat all our shit, but you also have to run six hours a day

so that our shit doesn't kill you. Yeah, it's like, well, hold on. The option isn't going to be stop eating the poison now. Right, yeah. It's just do some other shit to offset it. The reason you don't like meth is because you're not sleeping enough. So sleep more, continue to do meth your body's really failing to process this poison yeah like it really yeah but because people are sort of onto them in western media they're really focusing a

lot of and not completely onto them like they're still incredibly influential and way more influential than like the usda or the fda in america um because they're just like the the actual things that are supposed to be looking out for us are being outspent by these huge companies but they're focusing a lot of their energy on china india and brazil uh the world's first and second biggest most populousulous nations, and then sixth most populous. And China, like the head person in charge of nutrition in China is also like a board member of this company. Wow.

Cool. Last year, the candy maker Mars withdrew from ILSI saying it could no longer support an organization that funds advocacy-led studies. So like Mars, the candy company was like the green m&m's like i'm out so your life science institute is too corrupt for us mars a candy company jesus yeah and like we're like we're pushing sugar right straight sugar and we're like hey i mean like we're trying to be a little bit real about this shit. Speaking of sugar, they basically did what they did with Roundup. They also did two various studies around the world

that were basically saying that sugar is bad for you. Like the World Health Organization has been trying to get the message out that sugar is bad for you, but then they keep getting kind of pushed down by various governmental organizations that are headed up by people from the ILSI. So India is really like struggling with obesity. They've with just different Western food companies moving in 70 million people have diabetes and people think that that number is going to go to 123 million in the next decade. So the government is doing things like putting a 40% tax

on sugar, sweet, and soda, and they were going to put this big red label on all foods that didn't have the right ratios of nutrition to food mass. To basically power your human body. Right. And this dude came in and basically stalled it, and he was from the ILSI. So it's like the Koch network, basically,

where you have lobbyists or people at think tanks who are just like, okay, this is the prevailing thought we need to infiltrate all these agencies with. Now go forth and wreak profits. Just like a snake getting its own tail of various yes men. I would watch this Adam McKay movie. Yeah, right. Oh, for sure. I mean, the food industry and the tobacco industry,

the food industry is basically where the tobacco industry policies went. And it's just such a transparent, like, it's just capitalism showing its ass, basically. And what an ass it is. What a big, juicy ass. And it could only be powered by Coca-Cola. How you get that booty? Sugar. Yes.

Sugar, fat, and salt. Sugar, fat, running six hours a day. Running six hours a day, going to the gym, too. That's how you get that booty sugar yes sugar fat and salt sugar fat running six hours a day running six hours a day going to the gym too that's how you get these ratios powerful yeah

oh wow well um I'm glad I I was already frightened about sugar when I just saw that one YouTube video where

they cooked the sugar in a like a can of coke down into like it's caramelized sludge oh no I think when you visually see like what that cooks down, it's like, ah.

Okay, so I'll drink one a day. It looks like tar. It's so weird like how much we know. Like I did like a quote-unquote science experiment when I was in. I just killed someone. Like a quote-unquote science experiment? It was a decomposition project. No.

But we did like the experiment where you take your baby teeth science experiment it was a decomposition project no it was but we did like the experiment where you take your baby teeth and you put them in different sodas

and see how quickly oh yeah yeah and coke is always the one that like like in three days there'll be no tooth like the tooth

will disappear you know credit where credit's due to Edgar Sprite you know it it lasts. Oh, really?

It's not going to thrive. It's not going to die. Mountain Dew, it starts growing another life form around it. It starts growing a brain. Code Red, it starts to speak English. And it's really mad. Yeah. And in Mexico, the head of ILLSI Mexico was a former Koch executive. Somebody reported on it and he was suspended for a year.

And then the journalist or the person? No, no. The person was suspended for a year. It became this big national controversy. And then he was immediately brought back in and is now the new executive director wait so they they sidelined him because of this revelation and then they brought him right back yeah it was just like purely just for the appearance or sorry they he he didn't get brought back uh they brought in a new executive director who was the former director of public affairs at coco so essentially the same person. Right. Oh, right. Okay.

So they just don't give a fuck. They'll just do the right thing as long as people are looking, but then they have ways of making people look the other direction. So yeah, good to keep in mind. All right. And don't forget, have your 6 to 11 breads today. Yes. Yes.

Yes. Yes. I'm halfway. I'm like waist deep in various bread. Feeling a lot lightheaded. I'm going to shove a handful of pizza dough into my mouth. All right, we're going to take another quick break and we'll be 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. Let's talk about what maybe is the only story we should ever be talking about, the fact that there are actual ufos on camera that we've seen doesn't mean they're aliens man that are doing impossible things i know that shouldn't be possible that like you can hear the pilot on the video being like holy shit they're flying against the wind and they're just like going so fast they can't even like the camera can't even keep up. And then they just like do a 90 degree turn and like shoot off in the other direction.

Yeah. Was that video new? No, no. It's an old video, but we had never. Because I just remember Sky Tic Tac. So it was provided by Blink 182 before. The dude from Blink 182 and his like mission to the stars or stars academy. Yeah, right.

The stars thing. And, uh, people were like, yeah, it looks like really official Navy stuff. And like a lot of people were saying it's probably real, but the Navy came out and was like,

those videos are real, but they weren't supposed to get out, which was amazing, which is kind of a weird state. The heck was that? I love that. Yeah, I know.

I get so happy when I hear about aliens. Right? Love them. Yeah. But please don't destroy us. I hope they destroy us, honestly. I'd rather them destroy us. You know, honestly, yeah, you're right.

You're right, actually, when I think about it. If we got to die by all together, fucking aliens would be the coolest thing. Or to see a big-ass asteroid just come, like the sun go dark and be like, yo. I think about that all the time when I'm walking down the street. Do you want an apocalypse? Oh great, I have annihilation fantasies too. Do you want an apocalypse that is over like that?

Like sun goes dark and then gone? Or do you want one that like you got a couple weeks to say goodbye to your loved ones? No, no, no. Because it'd be chaos in the street. If that was the case, I would do like a suicide. Oh, really? Yeah, I wouldn't wait till the end.

It would be too much chaos. If I knew it was going to end. I feel like you would see society completely collapse. Yeah, it would be a disaster. So I think versus, I would like maybe- Two, three hours? Yeah, but then even then, those two, three hours would be wacky. Yeah.

Right. I would like to be like, okay, aliens cut me a deal. If I'm on vacation with my family, let it happen. Right. The least be like, Hey, we're together though.

We're in the living room. Check this out. Here they come. Yeah. Crack a bottle of wine open. Cause I think I would feel bad if I was, you know, with y'all right now.

Right. And I'm like, damn, I would like to see my grandpa. Like I would like to see some other people real quick. Thanks a lot, man. Oh,

that's nice. No offense. I'm just keeping it real. I'm just keeping it real. I don't want anybody to know. Cause when that shit goes down inevitably because i'm with everybody so much and it happens i'll be like you know it's not how i wanted it but let's make it work i'm just gonna say i hope i'm not with my kids i'm here with miles so that i can so i can at least tell him how much he means to me uh anyways the reason they came out and we're like and it's not supposed to get out but

yeah it's real is they are encouraging people who witness these ufos to report them because in the past people who work for the navy would see them and just be like well shit everyone's gonna think we're crazy right we like you know say that we saw a ufo so they're saying don't call them ufos they're uaps unidentified aerial phenomena oh and they're they're just like more pissed that these objects are breaking into our airspace without like any explanation or warning right because i was gonna say like maybe that it's like any explanation or warning. Right. Because I was going to say like maybe it's like an asteroid or a flying star,

but no, they're actually under the atmosphere. Yeah. And they're moving around freely like in directions. They're moving in. Like it's piloted. Yeah. Not just like flying into the water. It's like stopping.

Nope, this way now. Right. You know. Yeah. I'm excited. That one video too, I just like the excitement of the Navy pilots. Right. Because they're like, oh shit, did you lock on now. Right. You know? Yeah. I'm excited. That one video too, I just like the excitement of the Navy pilots. Right. Because they're like,

oh shit, did you lock on it? Right. And it's like, no man, I'm tracking. Like you can tell that they're even like, what the fuck are we looking at? Right. And I'm excited as a human being because I've not seen anything

that is outside of our realm of understanding. Yeah. So are they visiting and taking pictures? Who knows, man? We have no idea. There's also like images of- Imagine if you had an answer for me. Yeah, so here's actually-

Actually, the reconnaissance missions actually occurred in the 18th century. This is final planning for your invasion. Right. There are videos of them like hovering above the ocean. Now, these aren't like the Navy videos, but hovering above the ocean, the ocean's like boiling like the Navy videos, but hovering above the ocean, the ocean's like boiling underneath them.

It's so crazy, man. I mean, whatever it is, it's definitely a phenomenon. Yeah. I say bienvenidos. Yeah, thank you. A los Estados Unidos. A los Estados Unidos, bienvenidos.

Bienvenidos, mi amigos. Welcome. Well, so the military is not saying that to people coming to Area 51. Yeah, because today's the day. My transitions are lit. Today's the day. Today's the day that was initially announced on that Facebook group, Storm Area 51, they can't stop us all. Kind of a weird coincidence that that other story

would come out like the day before. Yeah, I think it came out a few days ago. But yeah, maybe the Navy is like, look, we're going to admit it. They're real. Just like, don't go to Area 51. We don't want to have to shoot you all. Yeah.

I mean, yeah, that group got canceled because it became so many people were joining and then the government was like, do not fucking even think about doing this. And they visited the dude who planned it or who started the group and they were like, you don't want this. Not like this. This is not going to go well for you or any of these guys. Where is Area 51? Nevada. Right.

Nellis Air Force Base facility, I think. I feel like we all have one friend who would go to that thing. Yeah. I have like two at least. I have three friends I think are going. Oh, really? We're definitely thinking about it

when this shit even was canceled. I don't know if they still did it. People were talking about it almost like it was like Coachella. Right. People were going to go and party. To set up. That's what they did.

I think they did another one called like Alien Stock or Woodstock or UFO Stock type thing. But that's going to be at that Vegas Convention Center or something. Yeah. So that's like a. That's just for money. That's just for people to like sell like bootleg Bart Simpson alien t-shirts. Kind of cool. I'd go.

Also, check out the new Daily Zeitgeist merch where there's bootleg Simpsons oh it's out hell yeah merch announcement shoehorned in the middle of a segment

bootleg Simpsons yes Zeitgeist shirt I love me a bootleg but so then there's also a group called there's a I guess this new

entertainment shopping complex called Area 15 that's in Vegas and I think part of their promotional thing is like hey man we don't care if those people quit. We're going.

And we're going to live stream the whole thing. Hey, if you're on a shopping complex, if you're listening to this on Friday morning, check this out. Maybe the live stream's happening. You might be able to see a group of bored people that want to feel what it's like to be shot by guards protecting a secretive military installation. Just getting turned into

Hamburg. And then also two dutch guys one was a youtuber and his friend were arrested for fucking snooping around like past the perimeter fence snooping around i imagine them like ducking like yeah exactly and then like when the spotlight hits them they're like freeze but like when they ask them they're like are you here for that dumbass Facebook group? They're like, we're not here for the lulz, man. Their quote was, we didn't- We're not here for the lulz, your honor. My honor, I'm not here for the lulz.

I'm a military guard. What the fuck are you talking about? They said, the two Dutch guys who were caught, they said, we didn't have any intention to storm it because we leave on the day before the actual storming. So, well, how could we do that? And they said, and we just wanted to, like, quote, go there. Right. So, a thing that I feel like people don't realize is that the gate is not, like, right next to the warehouse where they keep the aliens.

Right. No. It's Area 51 has a lot of area. You should, like, do the research there. It's a whole area. Yeah. Area 51 has a lot of area. You should like do the research. It's a whole area. Yeah.

There's like miles and miles and then a mountain between you and anything you're going to want to see. So you can't just like sneak past the gate and then like tiptoe around and find what you're looking for. No. Yeah, like in their fantasy heads, they're like, oh, there's going to be an alien guard. Yeah. There he is. On like a cigarette break. Right, right.

Oh, shit. Putting a cigarette. I've got to get putting a cigarette like i gotta get back man my shift oh shit i'm gonna find out i smoke that or in the movie version they're like wandering through it's like the second day i have barely any water and like oh this is a mistake dude and they trip on like the secret hatch that's like the back door into it yeah whoa and they go down and it's like that coffee break room in men in black right they're like viennese cinnamon oh my god the coffee flavor i think that's what one of the guys was drinking recall you know why because at the time i did not know that viennese was an

adjective form for vienna so i was like did they say vietnamese cinnamon and then as a kid that was really fucking with my head. Then I looked it up. I bought a book that was a shooting script of Men in Black, read the words out loud, and then realized what Vietnamese cinnamon was. It was fucking you up that Vietnam had its own cinnamon? I didn't know what it was. I was like, in my mind, I was like, that's not a coffee flavor.

Right. Because my mom drank, was a coffee snob-ish growing up. Right. And I was like, I never heard no Vietnamese cinnamon. That's how much time I have as a child and even to this day. Yeah, I was going to say, you know so much. And yet I know so little. Well, compared to me, you know so much.

I don't know anything. Oh, come on. I know less than you. And we just met. Ah, that's not true, but thank you. No, it's true. What is a myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false?

Oh, never accept an invitation from a rich person anywhere. Ever, ever, ever, ever. So the myth is people think you should. People think, oh, if like someone with a- A rich person, it's going to be a good time. Right, could be fun. Could get a lot of cool free stuff or something like that. Free stuff? I like that one. I don't be fun. Could get a lot of cool free stuff or something like that. Free stuff?

I like that one. I don't know. Just thinking about it off the top of my head. They probably got a bunch of iPads in a stack that you can take. Like napkins. Clearly, I've never met a rich person, but I'm like, you know, they just got iPads around, but they could take one they wouldn't notice. So we had, when we were living, I was in Scotland for a month doing my show.

And my boyfriend and I were staying in this apartment building. And there was a fancy rich couple on the bottom floor that were like, they kept looking at us like they were going to cook us. Oh, wow. They're like, she looks delicious. Right. They're just like, so what are you doing here? Right. And how many people know you're here?

But it's like you could tell they had money and you're just like, I don't really want to interact with this. But they kept pushing. They figured out when my birthday was. I don't know how, but I was there on my birthday. What? And they're like, come to church with us. And we went. Come to church with us?

We went to church with them. And to church with them and on your birthday on my birthday i hadn't been to church in like 10 years and i'm so glad my birthday another year has passed and you become a little wiser and you realize what was missing god christ's love yeah i am a righteous gemstone praise christ there but uh so that so we did that. And then on our last night, they were like, come down for a bottle of pop. Or, you know, they talk like fools. Right. So they were like, come down. Is that soda?

No, it's champagne. Oh. Instead of champers. We're like, I'll go. And we proceeded to have, Caitlin was there as well. Okay. We proceeded to have, I think, the most insane dinner I've ever had in my life. There was no food. There was no food. There was just champagne. And we were just sitting with this

older, rich couple, and they were just talking at us. I was trying to get a word in edgewise for the first 20 minutes, and we're like, they're just going to talk. Oh, you're doing monologues at me. I took so many notes. Like while it was happening a little bit but then mostly after we just went upstairs and i was like let's just get this off because there was they were some like chaotic rich people where she was like a socialite he had worked at halliburton so he was like bad he's had he had a twisty mustache and he worked at halliburton holy shit she used to work said he had a twisty mustache and he worked at Halliburton holy shit she used to work for Ted Turner and she's like I stole his credit card once and

bought a mink and he said you saucy lady don't do that again like they were just saying just anecdotes that haven't yeah oh this is all common ground for us right the man had had uh had an affair with Stevie Nicks but then she found out he worked for haliburton and she dumped him it was like there's did you tweet about that yes about some dude who you like i met somebody who fucks stevie nicks and then everyone's like stevie nicks fucked him i was like fair okay but still the story it's so fucking it was they were the i he was also married to a member of the bush family he's like i can't say which but wait what i everything so you think they were married were they were they truthful do you think or did they you think it was like half like just major self-aggrandizing

and no unfortunately because i myself i fact checked a lot of it. Oh, right. And it's all true. They're like sort of low-key, like Scottish tabloid stars past their prime a little bit. Like they were reported on a lot in like the late 90s and early 2000s. And like it was just, it was absolutely the strangest dinner I've ever had. They called it a dinner and you go and there's absolutely no food. There was olives. And they kept. That's not. But, you know, I don't know why I'm hung up on this, but I would have been.

I would like. I'm not trying to be rude, but is there food at all? This is a dinner and we're just drinking champagne and you're doing monologues at me. They invited her to church on her birthday. I got saved. I mean, I guess for sure sure for you knowing because it was her birthday right not like like it's your birthday we should go to church yeah so like i know what you'll want to do caitlin thought it was like uh she was getting vibes from them that was like the fan like the rosemary's baby people right but i was getting vibes that was like who's afraid of virginia wolf yeah

like they just wanted to us to like what because they were talking about weirdly horny stuff at certain times they're like well yeah things that occurred to me where there were swingers who were like trying to recruit you guys in or and also cocaine sounds like it could be we should have fucked them right you should know this story but yeah and then stevie nicks the stevie nicks famous cocaine story i hope this isn't giving away too much but she kept identifying herself as princess peapod and he was like calling himself i don't know it was something scottish but he was like shit captain like huge dick or whatever and he's like i remember the first time i saw you in those fish nets and i was like they're trying to fuck us like right what that's why there's no food they're just

trying to get us drunk so we'll fuck them oh no we didn't fuck them but i have their emails there you go yeah so it's always still on the table well you have done nothing to dissuade me from accepting an invitation from rich people that That sounds like the most fascinating. At worst, it's a bad dinner. There are Halliburton employees who are going to try to fuck you. I guess that's what I'm saying. Yes, please.

I could only be honored if someone from Halliburton wanted to fuck me. I was like, joke. I was like, man, he's got like Halliburton lube. Like he's got, he's just like,

let's slick things up. Let's have a Halliburton penis pump. It all works. It's all Hallibberd penis pump. It all works. It's all Halberd. Horrible. 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. I hope you're having a great weekend, and I will talk to you Monday. Bye. Thank you.
