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

So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. What is something you think is underrated? I'm going to surprise you guys right now. Uh-oh. Windows. Windows 95? Is that stupid? 97?

No, windows. What's something that we go through our life taking for granted every goddamn day it's a window oh the windows and buildings the windows and buildings the windows in your car can you imagine driving the windows to the soul eyes the windows to the soul we've never imagined driving without windows is a great question i cannot katie we were sitting in here in darkness do you think we'd have this energy? No, we would not. We'd be sleepy like birds.

Right? The birds get sleepy when you put the thing on top. Put a towel over their cage. Isn't that how you put their birds to sleep? That's how I put my dog to sleep. Put a blanket on him. I want him to calm down. That's what we do with our kids.

I put him in a parakeet cage and I put a towel over it. I told you he's very small. Yeah. Just underappreciated. Underappreciated. We walk through life and we never stop and say, thank you, windows. There's a nice window. Is it that?

Can we broaden out a little bit? Is it about transparency? Sure, it can be about transparency. Absolutely. Let's go into that. Absolutely. There's nothing opaque. There's nothing deceptive about a window.

And then this time of deception and lies, I think that we need to just stop and take stock. Did you have a sort of light bulb moment with the window? Or you're like, I'm sorry, windows. I have been taking you for granted. Yeah, yesterday when I was thinking about what to talk about today. So you were trying to complete this as you were driving here. Dan, can we pull up that clip from 2006 from Katie's old YouTube channel, Fuck Windows?

Listen, we all evolved. You can't hold me to past Katie. Right, right, right. And so you do stand by those comments or no, you've moved on since then? I've moved on since then. Okay, great. So we won't have to play the clip. No, we don't have to.

I apologize for my previous derogatory comments on windows. Right. What do you think about a nice stained glass window? I was just about to say that. That's a lovely addition. I wouldn't want all my windows to be stained glass. Yeah, that's a good point. But a room where you're like meditating.

It's a controversial take. Not all windows should be stained glass windows. Not all windows. But there's room for all types of windows in my world. Right, right. Yeah, to go along with that point, to me, I feel like the most luxurious thing you could have are floor-to-ceiling windows. Oh,

absolutely. I don't know why. Because I guess because you're banking a lot on those windows not really being able to protect you, but look, they're going to bring in all the light. I want to be rich enough to have floor-to-ceiling windows and then stand naked watching the sunset or something in front of them that's like a real power move although i did uh i was talking with somebody flash the street in los vegas yeah and you know got arrested that's fine uh someone was talking about being in an earthquake

uh in the 90s some earthquake yeah the the Northridge one, I don't know, and being like, the only thing that really happened that was scary was that all the windows shattered. And so there's that. They can turn into like, shopper. Yeah, little knives.

Yeah. But, you know, with everything, there's a little bit of a risk. And look, you don't even have to be wealthy. You get an old shipping container, cut the front end off

and build a floor-to-ceiling window there. Boom, you've got your floor-to-ceiling window. Yeah. You've made it. Yeah, it sounds a very reasonable thing to do. Even if windows break, there's still windows. I think shipping container structures are kind of cool.

I hear there's like- Have you seen that one that's like a bunch of them stacked on top of each other? Probably. It's like on every listicle of like shipping container homes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool. Well. Cool.

Windows. What's something from your search history that's revealing about who you are uh something from my search history was just before i left la i searched how to come down from a massive high oh wow so to prepare to prepare no it wasn't to prepare it was in the midst of it so listen it's very different here the stuff that you have i was given i was gifted some after i did a show at the comedy store of something called speed weed which i think is not how quickly it works but oh wow um they called it speed weed it's called speed weed i think it's how quickly they deliver oh and i'm not a weed smoker right so i don't know it had these two little tubes of pre-rolled

spliffs in them one was something called granddaddy purple gdp yeah okay all right granddaddy purple yes thank you grandpa i believe that you would call it gdp so there's one of those and then just another branded speed weed one. And I don't smoke at home. And so here's the first thing to remember. Important to know that if people smoke weed at home, they put it with tobacco. Yeah, right. So we're on a spliff, right? So I decide after having had this for a week that I'm going to go up on the roof of the place that I'm staying and smoke it.

Burn it down. Burn it down. So I have like two puffs and I'm like, oh, I don't smoke cigarettes. This is gross. It doesn't work. So there's a guy on the roof. I give him the spliff. So I'm like, he smokes.

I give him this. Please take this away from me. Yeah. And he was like, oh, you sure you don't want it? And I was like, no, no, no. It's fine. So nothing had happened then. I get back into the apartment and like 15 minutes later, I have a complete and utter

freak out. it's like i've dropped acid i don't know what's happening but it becomes very middle-aged very quickly you know i start tidying the entire flat um i'm basically almost start my tax return i'm having a paranoid freak out so i'm googling how do i come down from this yeah massive high and then one of the things it recommends is that i chew on a peppercorn neil young recommends if you're having a paranoid high chewing on a peppercorn yeah so we go into my friend's kitchen and there is no there's a packet of white powder so i snort that no yes and this is the point that my fiance said to me you made that bit up and i

was like can i reiterate I was fucking high. Right. I didn't, I just did. I thought that would. Where was it? Like with the spices? Yeah, in his kitchen. So I snorted that.

That didn't work. I messaged my friend going, what should I do? And he said, you need OJ. And I was like, me? Like, I'm staying in Koreatown. Like, I don't know that I want to go out walking. It's sketchy. I don't really know my way around.

Yeah, and I think OJ lives in Las Vegas. I was going to say, yeah. A blonde woman wandering around LA asking for OJ. No. So that was my Google search was to try and come down. Sounds like an adventure. All the things you were told are the worst

things too. It feels like I was being trolled. I feel like Neil Young was fucking with you. I got a packet of cream of with you. Hey, snort up I got a packet of cream of tartar in the station. Do that one real quick. See how that gets you. I mean, you can snort things that'll

really like fuck up your sinuses. Was it an okay? Was it a benign white powder? Yeah, it was fine. It didn't say to snort the powder. It said to chew on a peppercorn. Right. And you interpreted that as find some white powder and to snort the powder it said to chew on a peppercorn right and you interpreted that as find some white powder and panic snort it

a panic snorting is always a great place to be that's a good indicator I thought it would like clear my mind or something like a snuff or something I was like you know just do my change my perception the other thing this was definitely trolling was someone said sometimes it's helpful to Like, you know, just something just to change your. Yeah. Yeah. Change my perception.

The other thing, this was definitely trolling, was someone said sometimes it's helpful to chew on something to like ground you. Maybe some nuts. Right. And there were some almonds and I had the driest mouth. And so I put these nuts and it was like I was chewing on like cotton wool. Then I watched Lethal Weapon 3 and cried for about an hour and a half. Is that the one where they're making fake money? It's the one where Joe Pesci is blonde.

Yes. And Rene Russo, I think, comes aboard. Is it like they're making fake Chinese money or there's a Chinese guy? I think that's four. Oh, that's four. Yeah. Never get him straight. Three has a really good Eric Clapton sting collabo. Oh, yeah. Opening. Yeah. Opening. I straight. Three has a really good Eric Clapton, Sting collabo.

Oh, yeah. Opening. Yeah. Opening. I really like that song. That must have been calming. Yeah. Eric Clapton and Sting serenade.

I was sort of crying when Joe Pesci thought he was dying and he was saying he'd been shot. And I was like, I could get shot. So the movie caused you to cry. It wasn't just like a- It's a powerful performance. All around existential crisis. It was the power of Lethal Weapon 3. I'd like to. It was the power of Lethal Weapon 3. I'd like to say it was the power of Lethal Weapon 3.

All around it was like, what am I doing? Yeah. And it lasted for about three hours. Yeah. So I won't be making that mistake. When I was too young, my dad bought me and my sister tickets to go see Lethal Weapon 3 while he took my younger sister to see Fern Gully. tickets to go see Lethal Weapon 3 while he took my younger sister to see

Fern Gully and we literally got pulled out of the theater for being too young. Someone was like, what the fuck? Somebody was like, there are children at Lethal Weapon 3 and so we had to watch Fern Gully and I was

inordinately into Lethal Weapon 3 because it was like the forbidden fruit. The movie that Avatar ripped off. Ferngully, yeah. Yeah. Not Lethal Weapon 3. No.

Could you imagine? The box office over the weekend. So I think number one was Maleficent. Number two, The Joker. Both movies that did, like the standard split right now is like 60 to 70 of your box office is overseas uh foreign you know box office and then 30 to less than 30 is made domestically in america uh but i noticed zombie land 2 came out and its domestic versus international split

was like the opposite basically. It's international was in the 20s. And so that made me wonder. I went back and looked at the original Zombieland and it was also a similar split. World War Z had more of a traditional split uh which makes sense because it was more of like a international disaster movie than what we think of as zombie movie with brad pitt right with brad pitt um but it basically seems like there's like fast-moving zombies which

are actually formidable like monsters and monster movies, are popular everywhere like a normal disaster movie or a horror movie. But the slow-moving, groaning zombies that we are familiar with that are the stereotypical zombies, nobody likes them anywhere except America. They don't play anywhere else. Let me zoom out real quick. I think that's sort of like the take of american history right right beating up on slow moving weaker right and then flexing be like yo you saw that shit i did i just bombed the fuck out of these kids yeah or whatever the fuck it is like i think there is like weakness like oh that's sport you know what i mean like

yeah fuck it like i want to feel super powerful And I think maybe that's the difference is like, no, that's an opponent. These fast fucking freak track stars. Right. Not like the inanimate objects you can just beat the shit out of. I don't know. I think there's something. There's got to be something about the American ethos. Did Shaun of the Dead ruin it a little bit?

Shaun of the Dead, I think, was more of an even split, even though it was made in england by british director and yeah but it kind of really mocked the idea of how slow they were in the way they're killing them with throwing the records and going through them yeah you know because it was it was they were so slow yeah yeah no it's i think that's a good i mean i think it's one of the best zombie films, but yeah, because of it's like sort of sober eyed. It's the definitive zombie movie. Like, yeah, how those monsters quote unquote move. Right.

Yeah. And we've talked before about how inherently political it is. If you look at the breakdown of zombie movies versus vampire movies that are being made in America, zombie movies tend to be made more when Republicans are in office and vampire movies more when Democrats are in office and it's because the theory goes that

vampires are sort of represent the right wing's fear about the left that there's like these kind of European sexually ambiguous thin fancy pale monsters that are like try and seduce you and then you know with their socialism right with their socialism never come out during the daylight and just up all night and then

zombies are you know represent the Democrats fears of Republicans. It's like the groaning hordes, the dumb, slow-moving crowds, like a theme park on a sunny day or a crowded Walmart. That's the liberals' greatest fear. Do zombies... Tries to eat your brains, literally the thing you think with.

Do zombie movies resonate with you at all, Tiff? Yeah, I like a zombie movie. Do you like fast or do you like slow? I like all of them. Oh, so you just fully bought in for the zombie. Yeah, I'm a big fan of all of them. I really enjoyed the Santa Clarita diet as well, which has since been canceled.

I thought that was a real fun kind of take on that. Were they zombies in that? Yes, yeah, yeah. Oh, interesting. Well, she has it kind of like a zombie, right? Yeah. Her thirst? Yes. Yeah, yeah. Oh, interesting. Yeah, well, it was kind of- Well, she just has, she has kind of like a zombie, right? Yeah. Her thirst for flesh. Yeah, yeah.

No, no, she's, yeah. But she's more compus mentis. Like there's some kind of curse, but it's a zombie-esque. Right. Like, you know. Interesting. She has a cannibal zombie kind of thing, maybe.

Yeah. Yeah, maybe with Brexit, we're going to lose out on the vampire films because, you know, Dracula's like Eastern European. Well, but I wonder how much the fear of the EU is what fuels vampires, like fear of the influence of outside countries.

Continental vampires. I do like the idea of the socialist vampires wearing a cape saying no billionaires on it. He has a fancy accent. But when you look at their box office... Hey guys, what about more blood blanks where we all share the blood? Everyone get equal share of blood.

I like this guy. This guy knows how to party. When you look at vampire movies, the split is generally in keeping with international box office trends. But zombies are just all American. The all American zombie movie. Which are the fast zombies then?

Because I think I've only ever seen even The Walking Dead. 28 Days Later. 28 Days Later. Which is one of the best. I really love it. Resident Evil. Dawn of the Dead.

Resident Evil is speedy ones, aren't they? Yeah, Dawn of the Dead is slow. I Am Legend. 28 Days Later. Which is one of the best. I really love it. Resident Evil. Dawn of the Dead. Resident Evil is speedy ones, aren't they? Yeah. Dawn of the Dead is slow. I Am Legend. They're quick. Right. Yeah. Real quick.

They didn't even count that as a zombie movie. Oh, really? Box Office Mojo. Huh. Interesting. Yeah. I mean, again, I think it's just about, you know, America likes to beat up the weak. Yeah.

I really like that theory. I'm serious. It's just like everyone else is like, why would you create a movie about like horror movie logic on easy mode because you get to beat the fuck out of it yeah dude you just get to mow people down dude it's sick and there's no risk to me right fucking fight the week yeah so where does the purge sit in all of this yeah pur is this, I think, just another American fantasy. I feel like you're right that it probably is playing with the same themes, right?

That like the outside masses are going to come for you, but it also appeals to probably the people who are more... Disempowered. Right. And also like with zombie movies,

I feel like it's just like, you know know people shoot a bunch i mean i would love a zombie film where first of all that we represent the zombies as being a little more intelligent cultured you know why don't what isn't there a zombie culture i feel like i want to see that movie yeah where they're very like they're very they're like okay let's plan what we're going to do let's just not just stumble up to the house right you know let's maybe we can reason with them maybe not yeah and maybe maybe maybe bring some snacks yeah a little bit of a dinner party yeah exactly kind of it's like we don't know what they've been eating their flesh from night might not taste good remember that other family we ate

refined zombies yeah all right that's free idea, Hollywood. There you go. What is a myth? Well, now I'm afraid because I have spent so much time talking about my father already. Right. But it was about my father. That I have a father. I have a father. Yeah. My, like the apple fall, fall, wait.

The apple. The apple doesn't fall. Yes. Far from the tree. So my dad is a sommelier and works in wine. I hate wine so much. I won't drink it. I won't smell it.

I feel like it tastes like battery acid. Rebel. Yeah. It's really weird. I think it's probably like a weird psychological thing where I just grew up watching. How many siblings do you have? I have one sister. Are you the older or the younger?

Younger. Okay. You're the youngest. Yeah. And you're pushing back again. And your older sister likes wine. Yes. Wow. Interesting. How did you know that? Thank you. older sister likes wine. Yes. Wow.

How did you know that? Thank you. This has been my TED Talk. Wait, so do you like other forms of? Yeah, I drink cocktails, but I won't drink wine. Oh. Yeah.

It's just, you just can't. Is it the first thing you're like, I don't like it, but do you think if you stripped away, does your dad like wax on and on about wine all the time? Yeah, I think it's because when I was a teenager, I couldn't go in tasting rooms. My dad

would leave me in the parking lot when he would taste wine. So it's time to neglect. Yeah. Does this see your dad falling in a hot tub? Sleeping in a hot tub with a big glass

of warm red next to him. He's just avoiding my mom by going to wine tasting. I red next to him. He's just like avoiding my mom by going to wine tastings. I don't like it. I don't like the culture. Fantastic. Hey,

that's your right. Yeah. That's cool. So are you, like you, when you're at Thanksgiving, are you the only one not drinking wine?

Yeah. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Is that a rule to have wine? Well, no, I was just wondering like family-wise to have wine i guess yeah well no i was just wondering like family wise right yeah well no i just feel like when i think about it there is wine like because even on my my like my dad's side their wine didn't start coming in the picture

till like later on right before there wasn't a lot of wine on the table right now i think they they think they made it or some shit it It's so scary when someone finds wine when they turn like 54. Right. Look, to be honest, I was a little bit ignorant about wine. I thought there were only four kinds, red, white, screw top, and cork. Actually five and box.

Then I went to Italy for the first time. When I was in Tuscany, I went to the San Bolognano winery and I fell in Tuscany, I went to the San Bolognano winery and I fell in love with a Chianti. To say it may be tasty. There's this haunted house in Tennessee that's far from any winery.

Probably close to some whiskey distilleries. You know what a haunted house would be? A world without this Chianti. Oh, shut the fuck up. Because in a way... So there's this gentleman, Russ McCamey, who owns and operates what claims to be the most terrifying haunted house experience in America.

Claims. Well... Let's see, tough guy. He follows the people through with a video camera because they will try and sue him. Because they're so fucked up over what happened. It's the exact Nathan for you bit where he was like, you're going to make your haunted house pop in because you're going to be so scary people sue you. Yeah.

It's basically that. That's the exact premise that Nathan offers the haunted house owner in that episode. He films every tour. He then publishes the results on his YouTube page. I haven't had a chance to watch the hours and hours of footage of people walking around in the dark. But, yeah, it just seems next level. He makes you watch a two-hour video. On what?

Like how to be scared? Yeah, I think basically. Or like primes you? next level he makes you watch a two hour video phone what like just how they can be scared yeah I think basically like primes you yeah you're not allowed to there's all this long list of like you can't touch the actors you can't do any of this stuff and then primes you to be scared which I wonder if that like he also talks in this article that's like a profile of him from the local news about hypnosis so I wonder if like part of the video is priming you like to be scared and like in particular so that like when you go in everything that you're like hearing in the dark becomes something really.

Hold on. Are they waterboarding people in here? I'm watching this clip. This woman is covered in blood, crying. Yeah. Someone has a hand around her throat? No. Yeah.

Is that her own throat? Yikes. Or is that him? It looks like the dude holding the camera. It looks like a dark-ass POV porn video. Yeah. Yeah, that's really kind of the vibe you get. He's never drank, taken an illegal drug or sworn.

He's never even had a cup of coffee. So he's like this. Oh boy, he's like Trump. Mitt Romney. Right. He's the, yeah, he's the. Teetotaler who's getting his jollies by pouring blood on women and strangling them on camera. Yeah, I think that might be what we're dealing with.

But you can, you can experience it for yourself. What's this challenge I'm reading? Yeah, he will, I think, pay you, I think there's a $20,000 prize if you can make it all the way through the haunted house. Oh, shit. There's something like this in San Diego, too, actually, where it's supposed to be the most immersive, disturbing experience you have. And people come from all over the country to do it

because it is so fucked up. And it's sort of the same thing where you're just, you're basically being like mentally tortured for like eight hours straight. And people are like, oh yeah, it was great. And other people are like, I don't know, I shouldn't have done this. It sounds like Guantanamo.

It sounds very... Right, right. Yeah. it sounds like Guantanamo it sounds very yeah and apparently he deducts money from your $20,000 prize if you curse so aw shucks

right yeah so you just have to keep it 100% PG as somebody's like waterboarding you with fake blood. Just looking at this preview video is on his channel. I'm like, this is all kinds of bad. But I get it. I mean, like if there, but I get why there's so many people who I know who are into this shit.

Like they're like, I want to get fucking freaked the fuck out. Yeah. Not me. I wonder what that is. Like what that is internally. What? If you just like didn't have a lot of adversity, you're like, I want to be scared. Oh, right. Yeah. Not me. I wonder what that is, like what that is internally. What? If you just like didn't have a lot of adversity, you're like,

I want to be scared. Oh, right. Yeah. That's for white people. Yeah, truly. Like you're like,

man, I would love to have like all kinds of existential threats coming at me. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, when you think about it, like our like whole nervous system was shaped at a time when we hadn't fully

escaped the food chain. So we are like we were built to experience life-altering fear like on a regular basis so people probably who are too bored i think you're right just go and seek it out for women you can just walk home at night with headphones in right there you go experience yeah i think that's his other fun challenge that's next year's yeah um haunted house he's the the headphone challenge uh yeah oh boy well ross mccamey uh good luck to you sir yeah i hope man i'm gonna i'm gonna dig in a little bit more i want to see how fun because it sounds like it's basically saying you're going to sign a waiver and an and

an indemnification agreement where I will abuse you. Yeah. He says a common fear people share is water. So like somehow he's turning water into a haunted house attraction. Why not like enlist in the army if you're going to, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Because.

Dude, he's doing shit like duct taping people's eyes shut, like wrapping it around their heads. I'm more like, what about the back of your head, all that hair you'll pull out? Yeah. That's good hair back there. Amen. That's some good hair back there. That's where that 40-page waiver comes in.

Do you guys go to Burbank for the haunted houses there? No. There's one in North Hollywood I went to last year that this dude has, and he was so stoked. He's like, I'd save all my money to do this for the kids. Yeah. For the kids. And I was like, ugh.

But he was like, but you could tell it was truly like in the spirit of Halloween. He's like, I just really like to see that like kids in the neighborhood have something to do in the neighborhood. Yeah. And I was like, oh, look at you. Yeah. And I'm like, also, bro, your haunted house is trash. Was it really bad?

I think I scared one of the characters. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. oh look at you yeah and i'm like also bro you're haunted house is trash was it really bad i think i scared one of the characters oh really yeah yeah because i went the wrong way and like they were on like a cigarette break or something like oh fuck i'm like oh no this is your living room uh all right we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back when you think of mexican culture you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and of course, lucha libre.

I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the U.S. elections approach, it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever. But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share what the science really shows, that we're surprisingly more united than most people think. We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need to do better and that we can do better. With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki.

It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison. We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume. Even those we disagree with are more generous than we assume. My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in a relationship with each other. All that on the Happiness Lab.

All right, guys, let's talk about this haunted house in Centerville, Maryland. It's one of many communities across the country that are being affected by the opioid crisis. And they're deciding to combine that crisis with their Halloween festivities by doing a drug den haunted house. It includes a drug den, a frightening arrest, a court hearing, a jail cell, a wrenching family crisis, a harrowing overdose.

They're even bringing real prisoners who are encouraged to interact with the visitors. What incredible escapism. Yeah. Oh, my God. There are inmates who they're being like,

hey, anyone wants to volunteer for the haunted house? Yeah. All right. All right. Yeah, yeah. Come with me. You know this devastating crisis you guys are facing? How about you just go use your face for a fun Halloween scare?

Right. Now, this sounds like one of those ideas that would be like one person brings up and people are like, maybe for 15 minutes, but this actually has a decade, like a multi decades history because this town gained notoriety in 89 for their haunted crack house, which was housed in an old jail cell.

This one's called haunted trap house, which was housed in an old jail cell. This one's called haunted trap house. So it's like a dying people. Wait, they're calling this one holiday haunted trap house. Yeah. This year. Yeah. That would be one of the trap house.

Well, at least maybe the, the name change will bring in more Gen Z kids. Yeah. Oh my God. Oh hell yeah. Trap. But yeah, so the crack house one back in more Gen Z kids. Yeah. Oh my God. They're like, oh hell yeah, trap. But yeah, so the crack house one back in 89, 90 had a narrative about a girl named Liz

who led you through various scenes of her life to a teenage drug party and then to jail and eventually the Morgan funeral home at which point kids were invited to have cider and cookies in the treat room. That's damn definitely how it ended. It sounds like the plot of Euphoria. And then at the end, they're like, what did we tell you about accepting shit from strangers?

Y'all all failed. That was poison. But it was tied to dare. Oh, it was tied to dare? Yeah, of course. God, dare worked on my ass. It did? Yeah, because I got- We were both like, it did? Well, no, no. God, dare worked on my ass. It did? Yeah, because I...

We were both like, it did? Well, no, no. I mean, weed doesn't count. But besides that... Oh, no, because when they taught it to you, it was like this scary-ass man with a trench coat, and then there was all... His trench coat opened up to pockets,

like with every drug in it. And I was like, he's so scary. Like, if anyone comes at me with a trench coat, you can guess what I'm saying. And that's no. Yeah. I think our DARE officer, this dude, his name, he had the dumbest vanity license plate. And he gave us a challenge to fucking figure out what his vanity license plate meant. To this day, I still remember.

It was P-R-N-C-H-A-S. C-H-A-S. And he's like, whoever can guess my vanity plate, I'll give you guys a little prize at the end of the D.A.R.E. program. Parent Christ? I don't know. That's what you think? I don't know.

I was like, what the fuck is a P.A.R.N.C.H.I.S.? He's like, you get a pass to the- It was Prince Charles. And I was so pissed off. I'm like, what the fuck is a Pernchast? He's like, you get a pass to the- It was Prince Charles. Ah! And I was so pissed off. I'm like, how? Yeah. It says Pernchast.

There's no R's, no L's. This looked like Pornchase, if anything. Yeah. And fuck that. That's why I started smoking weed. Yeah. Because I was like, this is fucking stupid. Just to slay him?

Yeah. I'll show you- Also, he had this box. Your car inconsistencies I'm gonna light up a fat blow bitch Fuck this Yeah like That just negated

Everything you say is moot Now I'm doing PCP And I will throw a dumpster At a cop car Like you said That's a lie though They have found that dare actually Like this

This approach generally Doesn't help And can sometimes be seen To statistically Have a negative impact On drug use. Well, also, too, so your officer did a trench coat bit to show the drugs? No, no, it was the pamphlets.

Oh, got it, got it. The cops came, and I remember one of the cops saying, if anyone asks you to do drugs, you say, my mom doesn't want me to. And they're like, you know, a a lot of like um people and gangs when they say that excuse then people uphold it and they think that's a good i'm like if someone asked me and i said my mom no that was my first moment where i was like, I think I'm being led astray because that's truly the worst response. That's exactly why they say dare doesn't work because kids are smarter than that. They're just like, yo, this is bullshit.

They're not giving the tools to interact with other people your age. Not like for me as a police officer, this is what I would say. There's footage on YouTube from a 1990 haunted crack house in Avalon because it started like a trend. Apparently it was like this big media. I can't believe this is real. That's freaking insane. And at one point you see a cop hauling a teenager into jail

because he, quote, killed his best friend for some marijuana. Oh, my gosh. It's the own. Jeez, that is fucking brutal. for some marijuana. Oh my gosh. It's the own. Right. Jeez, that is fucking brutal. I'm guessing like, cause the one that started in this one is from the Kennard African American

Cultural Heritage Center. Like it seems like they're starting from a good place, like truly trying to provide a service and then other people like, oh yeah, this is a good idea. Yeah. And then have a completely tone deaf one. That's even worse. I mean, look. No, they're like, let, yeah, this is a good idea, and then have a completely tone-deaf one that's even worse. I mean, look.

No, they're like, let's get all our people from the hospital and then sell tickets. Right. Right. They, yeah. They actually have these things in the South that are called, like, hell houses where it's just people basically reenacting sin to, like, scare you away from it.

Really? Yeah. Oh, my God. Cool. Yeah. Where there's just stuff truly like, and these are two men holding hands. Oh, God. Did you guys have the thing with drunk driving where they-

Yeah. Had the mangled ass car and sit. Yeah. Mangled car. And they were like, come out to the- Hurry. Your friend got in a car accident on the football field. Yes.

Really? Yeah. How'd they get the car there? Because we all have to park on the other side of school. And I was like, honestly... They're dead. Did they do that? Yeah, and then we laughed.

Yeah. No, actually, wait, I don't even think we had that. I think our school just gave up on us. Yeah. And I was like, Ashley would have never been wearing that pink jewel Jessica McClintock dress to prom. Right. She would have not been caught dead in that dress.

A prom dress from Delia's? Are you fucking kidding me? Right. No, Jessica McClintock was cool as hell. Oh, okay. Yeah. The coolest. Is that a brand or a person who was dead in the car?

No, Jessica McClintock was like a cool, it was like a dress brand. Oh, got it, got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. That'd have been cool if Jessica McClintock was like, dude, they got Jessica McClintock. She's in that mangled car. Yeah, I know. That does sound like a dead school girl.

It's weird. I don't know. I mean, I guess it, I think the times I learned the most is when other people my age in real life fucked up. Yeah. And I saw that shit of course oh my god dude that's like you know your friend will flip a car or something like oh that's fucked up yeah and like oh he was driving on molly I don't think you should like okay maybe I'm a

prude ass bitch and in case there's any high schoolers listening to this do you have a high school huge high school okay well they do this to get in touch people should try like hard drugs so they're like 25 and then they can decide if they want. Yeah, I think that's. Well, also to like psychedelics, you overdose, like taking too many. Psychic trip is too intense when you're you don't even know who the fuck you are. Boy, when I thought I was cool on mushrooms, that worst trips in my fucking life. Really?

Because I'd be like, I'm not respecting my mom enough. Because you're like 16 and shit. Oh, my God. And you're like, what? Because you're like 16 and shit. Oh my God. And they're like, man, I'm fucking taking her for granted, man. My dad left and I'm like, you know, she's doing a lot right now. Yeah, teenage boys, you're too shitty to take psychedelics. Dude, yeah. You can start going inward.

You will have some realizations about yourself. And then I remember right after, I was like, no, I got to do right. It was actually kind of cool in that sense. You know what? Me, I always feel like when I'm on mushrooms. Like laughing? No, I'm just like when I'm on mushrooms. Like laughing? No, I'm just like, oh my God, I love everyone. My skin is vibrating.

It feels so good. My body feels like a waterfall. Well, now because you're sort of a fully actualized human. Yeah. Versus a chaos-brained teen. No, mushrooms are great as an adult. Just not so great when you're not still fully formed. Just kidding, I don't do mushrooms that much.

Whatever. Yeah, you're a D1 athlete. Look, tell all the youth who are listening right now. I love water and vegetables. That's so tight. So tight. What is something you think is overrated? I don't love hot tubs.

I'm not a hot tub person. Yeah. Go on. What do you mean? I don't love being hot in general. And I feel like- feel like so modest. Yes And I feel like being in hot water. It's a lot of skin cells and I know it's disgusting Oh, that's all this dirty. Yeah, you don't want being his body soup. Yes, and then bring it back to my father

He's someone who regularly passes out and hot tubs He gets too hot. You're dead. Damn. I just like ate so hot. He's like, fuck, I don't know. He's fucking hot tubbing. We're all worried. I really feel like it's a Harrison Ford like suicide attempt thing where he's like, I just passed out in an accident. It wasn't on purpose. Right.

Yeah. But a lot of the times you're just thinking all this body lint. Yeah. That is a new thing. You can see it in the water. Yeah, when it's floating. And I've never been in a hot tub with like clean people. It's always like, you know, guys I knew freshman year of college.

Right, who are using this as a bath. Yes, for sure. They're like, why do you keep scrubbing your arm under the water? They're like, no, I'm just feeling myself. I'm not exfoliating here in the fucking hot tub. I once was in a hot tub with a guy who's eating red vines that got wet from the hot tub water and continued eating them. I'm okay with that.

I'm okay with that. Yeah. To be honest. I'm trash. I'm not saying that he's right. I'm saying I'm disgusting. Yeah. That doesn't do anything to me.

Because you know what? In my mind. Visceral level. Chlorine. Yeah, exactly. And I'm like, what's a little skin cell between friends or strangers at a holiday inn? It's basically like pre-softened for you a little bit. Also, you know, actually,

I'm a little more upset about the... I don't like red vines. In a hot tub. I don't like, just in general. I'm not a big red vines fan, so I'm like, hmm, Twizzler? Yeah. Catch me eating Twizzlers that have been dipped and submerged in a hot tub. Red vines you can use as a straw, right? Yep. Disgusting. Yeah, that's

again, that's an abomination. Was he doing that? Dr drinking the jacuzzi water through a red like a hot tea i wish can you stop every time you drink the jacuzzi water he kept saying that's the tea sis and we're drinking that's the tea sis he's like oh snorkel. It's where I fart and I try and get the air bubbles underneath the water. Okay. Just me? Yeah. All right. Well, person tea or person soup. Either way. Not feeling it. Yeah. But I get that. The feeling of a hot tub is nice.

Yeah. Like a hot bath, maybe. Yeah. See, that's why you were like... Are you an ice bath person? You said you don't like to be hot. Because I'm like an athlete. I mean, I would do lukewarm. I'm like a big... So do you do cold showers? Yes.

In the summer? When the ambient temperature is hot, I'm like, I don't need to get this hot. I have to be very uncomfortable to do a cold shower. Really? Even with your sweats, you don't feel like that's not the hack to be like, chill body now? Yeah, I don't like cold showers. Even with your sweats, you don't feel like that's not the hack

to be like chill body now. I think maybe because my body showers itself in cold sweat. It's already self-regulating. I've never really gotten overheated to the point that I needed a cold shower. It feels so good to walk out of a cold shower. It feels like taking an Adderall.

It's just like you're ready. It's tough when it's cold and you have a freezing bathroom and take a cold shower. That's a level of shivering I'm not willing to do. You only do that if you're punishing yourself. Yes, or trying to sober up. Trying to sober up before a podcast

recording. That's right. Miles' clothes are completely drenched. Always drenched. I've got half-washed off Axe body wash on my neck. Do they, do hot tubs need more chemicals than a pool because like bacteria

would form more easily? And you sweat in them. Right. Yeah. I don't know. Pool, pool zeitgang, pool maintenance zeitgang.

Yeah. I know some of y'all out there because we've talked when I was maintaining, trying to maintain chlorine levels. What's the rule? Do you need more? Need more chemicals for the soup?

Are they worse for you? Worse to drink? Worse to drink, yeah. Red wine? Well, I was going to say, in Japan, their bath culture is very big there. But you have to clean your body before you get into a tub. You can't just hop in and soup it up with your dead skin. It's like Wii Spa.

Yeah, exactly. Because people clock that, and they're like, I ain't getting in that dead skin. It's like Wii Spa. Yeah, exactly. You know, we respect, because you get like people clock that and they're like, I ain't getting in that fucking bath. Shit floating around. So do exfoliate the fuck out yourself. Yeah. I remember as a kid, there was like this Japanese scrubbing cloth. I'm sure all Asian

people have it. I remember we used to fucking at the beginning, I didn't understand why she was like buffing my skin down to like the new parts. Right. And then as I realized earlier on, I was like, oh, it's exfoliating. And you got to kind of put some elbow grease into that sometimes. Gorgeous.

Do you guys go to WeSpa a lot? Are you WeSpa fans? I'm not. I've been once. I feel like that's like the first thing people do when they get unemployed. Is go to WeSpa for a day? They like put in hours at WeSpa. Or go like late.

Yeah. Just chilled like for like deep into the night. Yeah. After hours. It's good self-care. Or go like late. Yeah. Just chill for like deep into the night. Yeah. Like after hours. It's good self-care. Good self-care. All right. We're going to take another quick break.

We'll be right back. When you think of Mexican culture, you think of avocado, mariachi, delicious cuisine, and of course, lucha libre. It doesn't get more Mexican than this. Lucha Libre is known globally because it is much more than just a sport and much more than just entertainment. Lucha Libre is a type of storytelling. It's a dance. It's tradition.

It's culture. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask, a 12-episode podcast in both English and Spanish about the history and cultural richness of Lucha Libre. And I'm your host, Santos Escobar, the emperor of Lucha Libre and a WWE superstar. Join me as we learn more about the history behind this spectacular sport from its inception in the United States to how it became a global symbol of Mexican culture. We'll learn more about some of the most iconic heroes in the ring. This is Lucha Libre Behind the Mask. Listen to Lucha Libre Behind the Mask as part of my Cultura podcast network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you stream podcasts. I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the U.S. elections approach,

it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever. But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share what the science really shows, that we're surprisingly more united than most people think. We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need to do better and that we can do better. With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki. It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison.

We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume. My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in relationships with each other. All that on the Happiness Lab. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. MTV's official challenge podcast is back for another season. That's right.

Meanwhile, while we're on the subject of him turning into a tin pot dictator, his attorneys in New York argued that he technically could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue.

They wouldn't be able to prosecute him until he was removed from office. And the judge could not believe what the fuck was said. Nothing could be done. That's your position. And Trump's attorney said that is correct well but it's not permanent immunity yeah that's where it's going to be reasonable it's not permanent obviously then like whatever but but this is the other thing about all these hearings right with this william consovoy that attorney um allotted in these hearings over his taxes in new york

right he keeps saying this thing about the president is immune okay and the beginning of the month he said the same shit where he's like you know obviously trying to get a president caught up in legal should be such a distraction but the vice president is not immune right they're like this is a trial about his fucking taxes what the fuck are y'all saying then yesterday with this shit uh and the same thing when he was doing the fifth avenue like clapping somebody on fifth avenue defense he brought up again he's like but you know however the vice president would not have this it's so tasty oh yeah so it's like one of those things where like i'm like i think rachel maddow the first time they talked about i was like what the fuck what was the point of that because we've seen from the beginning of the call, when the call shit came out,

he was like, well, maybe you should ask Pence about his calls too. I was like, what are you doing? And also knowing that he sent Pence to go tell Zelensky about the military aid shit, like as the messenger. I don't know if he's A, trying to gear Pence up as a blood offering to protect himself, or possibly using him as a blood offering to protect himself or possibly using him as a blood offering to also make Nancy Pelosi the number two. So the Senate Republicans would never vote to impeach him because that would make Nancy

Pelosi the president. Wow. This is so tasty. I don't know. Like, where's he at? Seven degree check? It's a lot of that stuff. Yeah.

It's his gut reaction. It's like how he's- He plays enough checkers to be like, well, if I put this piece there then knock all your pieces off i'll knock my own piece then i'll flip the board right but it's really odd how there's a lot of this like pence like well the vice press like this isn't about this hasn't that's the thing none of these legal proceedings have had anything to do with mike pence but no it's perfect. It makes complete sense. That's perfect. Yeah, of course he's

setting the stage. All these things too are kind of doing that. It's very weird because the he's too dumb argument has been sort of percolating elsewhere. And it rose up to like,

oh, the wall street journal is now making this ridiculous argument for it. And this argument that like, well, the president can do whatever he wants. You can't, you can't hold him accountable at all. That's also been bubbling around.

And now he's, his lawyers are saying, no, he can't do right. He can shoot somebody. It's fine. Right. All this stuff. And even the, like, you know, people dismissing like, oh, he can't do it. Right. He can shoot somebody. It's fine. He can shoot somebody. Right. All this stuff.

And even the, like, you know, people dismissing, like, oh, he's not going to, he's not going to do, like, do anything with the elections. And even though he's, they're, like, canceling primaries for him. Right. And all these things that people have said, either jokingly or seriously, are all, like, bubbling up to the top. Yeah. Because he'll just any,

any, any reason, anything that can keep, keep the little rat safe. Just the, it's like you're getting close to the kitchen sink. Yeah. I mean,

if we were throwing, we've thrown a lot. Yeah. Yeah. I forget who it was. It might've been Michael Cohen, but I think it was even before Cohen flipped where somebody was talking about just how everybody who comes into his orbit and

like does a deal with him he fucks over like right invariably he will always fuck you over and so many people have compromised their dignity their politics their careers to you know align with him and he he that's how he operates. He's going to fuck you guys over. Yeah, it's an observable pattern. It's his law. It's how he lives. Right, the Trump.

And it's so obvious. The Trump law of thermodynamics. Of fucking people over. Waiting for the flipping on his sons. Who's going to be first? At least one of them. He doesn't care about his children at sons. Who's going to be first? At least one of them. He doesn't care about his children at all. It's got to be Eric first.

Yeah, he's the least. Because he doesn't want his own junior. Are we counting Jared? Yes, I would say. Because Jared, I would say, is first. Because he hates Jared. He hates Jared. He hates Jared.

On a deep level. He loves him because he knows that loving him makes Ivanka view him positively. Yes, it brings him closer to Ivanka. But he hates Jared. I think he cares little or nothing about Eric because he's kind of a non-entity. Right. Whereas Junior is like, you're my namesake. And you're the dumbest one

but also he's like the most like he has the most political aspirations right right so i know roy right he wants he wants that sort of legacy to continue and even though i think junior's really bad at it uh his base thinks he's very good at it right that means ivanka siobhan right and then jared is tom yeah and of course tom remember, Logan Roy threw Tom out real quick. Right. Anyway, succession, bringing it all back. Yeah. That was my guess.

I'm curious about what it'll look like, the Coke-fueled bullet orgy at the end of Scarface when he shoots his sister, who he's always loved secretly. Well, right. I mean, he might just get away with everything right i could do a term and like oh i if i can get away with anything as long as i'm still the president i'll just be the president forever but there is also a scenario where he does have to like turn us on this person turns this person turns his family and like ivanka will be the last one and he'll do it yeah oh yeah um so i guess yeah if it is scarface when does he kill manolo you know i mean because that was the end when he when he killed his his homeboy manolo when

scarface is that giuliani giuliani would be manolo i guess yeah but i don't know it's so hard because i don't even see him being loyal to fucking anybody so in a weird way it's like even hard he's not even by the scarface narrative we don't even know who he is yeah what this is he'd flip on himself if he knew he could get away with it like he's like you know who's really bad that trump guy anyway i've been here i've been donald trump jr thank you so much what all of this metaphorically of course we don't want anyone to be killed and we also fully recognize that this is all going to end with us in gulags and Trump dying in his dotage. In FEMA camps.

Once he refurnishes the Oval Office to be plated in gold. Yeah, just because he'll die of a stroke in his late hundreds because everyone's too scared to go in and check on him. Dude, in his late 200s. Right, he's going to shit himself to death on the toilet. Tweeting something about how kiddingly I shit myself all the time. I would never do diarrhea everywhere. I'm not diarrhea everywhere right now.

That is such a kiddingly comment. What is something you think is overrated oh when um jennifer lawrence played um all those 40 year old women five years ago um but look it's nothing against her like she obviously is an incredible actress in the way that she was able and capable to mimic and find the nuance of people twice her age right um but yeah that was pretty wild. They're like, we can't find any actresses out there. Are there any other actresses besides her? To play the 40 or 45-year-olds.

So we had to go to Jennifer. We had to go straight to Jennifer. Yeah. They gave her a funny wig and a little bit of crow's feet makeup. Yeah, yeah. And they're like Pretend like you're Exasperated mother of three Right

She's like I'm 23 years old I just like Ate In-N-Out In my Oscars dress And slipped on the ground Yo I'm like

That's how Little I give a fuck Man Did she just get married She did And honestly To someone with like The most

Like weird Cook Maroney Cook Maroney cook maroney cook maloney but she's so hot and talented so it's not a knock against her she is an incredible actress and i wish her a lot of success and happiness and i feel that she is pursuing that well fantastic i'm glad you cleared that up yeah okay because yeah you were kicked out of one of her parties trying to paper things over no but i was just even thinking that just like when I was just talking Jordan, whatever his name, I was like, God, if the Jonas Brothers heard this, I would feel bad.

Yeah. The Jonas Brothers heard it? How were the Jonas Brothers, by the way? Oh my God. Incredible. They got. Oh my God. So sincere.

I went with my mother. We had the best time. Hollywood Boy. I've never been to the Hollywood Bowl, but boy, those three men, they can really shake it. They can really sing. They got a lot of hits. Yeah. No, that is for certain.

I don't know a single song about them. Are you Jonas? Brood? What are the fans called? I'm not really sure. Bros? I'm not deep in the Jonas fandom. So how did you end up being like

Yeah we'll go to this show I just knew it would be a good show I know this man can perform And I mean Nick Very hot Who's the one that like Is the one that they just all steal on What do you mean

Oh Kevin There's one named Kevin He smartly got married when he was like 20 Because he kind of knew what it was going to be And he popped out kids and I think he's very happy And still married They seemed like they were really having a great time Because they kept saying

A couple years ago We thought what if we should do this again And then we were like Would anyone care And they kept saying that and then the crowd would like lose their fucking mind like oh good so you guys do care great great because for a while we thought nobody cared all right i'm gonna go jack off backstage now i got my fill that was literally what it was like and then at one point

the whole crowd started chanting Kevin like they wanted to know like they wanted to him to know that they were still behind him even though he didn't

maybe have the same face right yeah he doesn't have the same face as he used to or he does no as his brothers as his brothers

he's not as I mean weren't they all about like abstinence so really wasn't he just hacking the Matrix, being like, I'm trying to fuck, so if I gotta marry, then let's do this shit. But now they all fuck. They did shots of tequila on stage.

It was pretty wild. Oh, yeah. It's official. The Jonas Brothers fuck. That is really funny. As somebody who's only vaguely familiar with the Jonas Brothers, I knew that two of their names were Nick and Joe

and assumed that like the other, there was a third one whose name I also knew, but Kevin, not even close. Yeah, yeah. I will confess I forgot his name till at the concert. I'm not kidding, but I don't want to be mean because I, you know what I thought? Another thought I had, I said, Kevin looks good.
