Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of the weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from this week, all edited together into one nonstop infotainment laughstravaganza. So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. What do you think is something that's underrated? Underrated. Okay, guys.

So call back to that opening that I did. I know a lot of you probably don't know that song. The Affair? Yeah, and it's fucked up because that's my underrated right now. Sad, rich, white people TV. It's big right now. It was called independent cinema for a long time. Is what you're talking about.

It's reached mainstream. Right. And I'm here for it. So what is this genre? Is it a succession? Yes. It's a succession. It's the affair.

There's about to be a new jaunt coming out. The morning show. Just sad, rich, white people content. Where I got to watch you being sad even though you got everything you ever wanted. Yeah, crying in a leertip. Well, they have to make every, even like Judd Apatow movies. You have to make the family not have to worry about money so that they can have emotional problems. Yeah.

Because when you don't have money, you don't have time to be like, why aren't you paying enough attention to me? Oh, right. Because you're like, you know why. Those kind of emotional problems. Because we don't have any money and you're not around. I know why you're not paying attention to me. Right, right, right. Where it's like the Pretty Little Liars.

Big Little Lies. Big Little Lies. That show is goddamn ridiculous. They have to set it in Monterey, California, where you're like, yeah, no one there has any problems. Right. So that way you can really, I get what you're saying, because most people who have, then it becomes a completely different show about the struggle of people who are working versus

like pure soap opera. Yeah, like the show Roseanne is about, she yells at Dan a lot for just not having money. Which show? Roseanne. Oh, got it. Yeah. Not having money becomes the main issue when you don't have money, which is? Roseanne. Oh, got it. Not having money becomes the main issue when you don't have money,

which is how life works. Yeah, exactly. So if we go to Rich, we can talk about how these people are completely emotionally ill-equipped to have functioning relationships. We can talk about the PTA. That can be a big deal.

There's literally a scene, like four PTA scenes in the last season of Big Little Lies. I just didn't feel fulfilled in my sex life. I mean, yes, he fucked me four times a week, but I need someone to fuck me five times a week. It's like, God, I hear you. I hear you.

And to think that he, that Birkin bag was used, that he got you. Oh, God, it was secondhand? People were talking. What is, what's the affair? Is what channel's on? So it's on Showtime.

I don't have that. And it's, I went and got fucking cable. Whoa. But you're doing. No, that's a myth. That's actually going to be my myth today. That fucking cable is more expensive.

I'm paying $75 for cable. I can cancel everything else. Like, how many apps? Y'all trying to app me to death. Okay. And when you add all them bitches up, it's more than cable. Like, we got to go back. We need to go back.

But then, this is the problem, right? If you go, if you do all this other shit, there's so much shit exclusive to streaming that it's like, then which one do you want more? Do you need the broadcast shit or do you want the Disney Plus shit? Do you want the Netflix shit? Do you want the fucking HBO Max shit? Well, you can do. You can like. Millennials have created a problem for ourselves.

Look, striminals, as the industry calls us. Yeah, I am a striminal. You share the logins. Boom, that's all it takes. Just spread the wealth between two people so no one's having to shoulder that $15.99. Yes, you've been clicked by a small strominal. But again, the affair, I'm guessing it's about white people having an affair? Yeah. It's literally just white people fucking and crying.

Oh, I love it. And it's beautiful. You know what I mean? Is it for you the schadenfreude, or are you like, damn, I guess it's not all that good. See, when you said fucking and crying, white people just said, well, that's redundant. It's like, yeah, you mean sick. I know being white is great. You know what I mean?

There's nothing that's going to trick me into feeling like, oh, look at these white people being sad in their Maseratis. And I'm going to be like, man, you know what? It is great to be black. You're not tricking me. And I can say as a person that didn't grow up with money, we watched that show too. I'm like, these aren't real fucking problems. These are fucking bullshit.

Yeah, well, I think there's something a little too. I think as people become more aware of the disparity in wealth and things like that, these are our new punching bags we get to laugh at. It used to be shows that were like characters were relatable, but now it's sort of like, yeah, look at these fucking wealthy motherfuckers. Yeah, let's laugh at this shit. Well, I think also it's not

triggering to you because you're not dealing with these fucking problems. You know what I mean? I don't got to worry about watching Big Little Lies and being like, that same shit happened to me in the PTA last week. Do you think there are people who are watching like, oh, I can't watch this? Four women murdered a dude last week at PTA. It's too real.

It was a... This show is a lot. I want to like the show, but there's a lot. It's walking a fine line. It's just very triggering, okay? Because I also ran over a woman in the middle of the night and switched places with my husband. Flipped my Audi. There's this hot Nazi who beats this hot lady.

He's just hot, though, so we let it go. He's so hot. I wish he beat me a little bit, you know? He's so hot. I heard he raped a lady in the neighborhood, but we're all letting him just be here? It's like a meta show. They have an infinity pool, so what are we going to do? I can't say anything

About this guy And then your myth I'm guessing That was your myth Yeah That cable is not cheap No Did you do

Okay so Did you do a side by side Analysis adding up The things that you are Paying for Or And be real Keep it funky

Are you How many of them Other things Are you actually paying for? Do you pay for your own Netflix? No. Okay. Do you pay for Hulu?

Do you have Hulu? I do pay for Hulu. Okay. And I have Hulu parasites. Oh, you have a Hulu... You call them Hulu parasites? Yeah. Hulu sites?

Yeah, who are siphoning my Hulu as well. Did you give it to them or did they... I logged in on TVs and they never unlogged out you know just fine that's your fault that's a scam I appreciate yeah

but you can't call them parasites how petty is it to be at the homies house though and be like oh let me log out real quick before I leave like that's

that's fucked up if we friends you know what you do you go in your account and then you find the device it's connected to and log out from there there you go

goodbye but that's also that's what you do to an ex. Yeah. Well, I guess so. It's different, right? So these are friends. So many rules.

If we're friends, I can't log you out of my Hulu. Then, you know, what, you gonna pull up at my house? We gotta fight? We gotta have a fist to cuss? Do you wanna name

some of these people out loud? I wanna watch people fight over that. Yeah, actually. I would like to watch that. If that's happening, text me. Lacey, get the fuck out here, bitch.

What? You logged out my Hulu? You logged it. What the fuck is wrong with me. Get the fuck out here, bitch. You logged out my hula hoop? What the fuck is wrong with you? Get the fuck out here. You was fucking up my algorithm. You was fucking up my algorithm. How much murder are you watching on TV? Well, I need to offset all that murder shit with some banking show shit. I'm sorry I don't like that.

You need to go to therapy. Come down and test this motherfucking fame. That would be interesting. But in our minds, that's how we do play out these scenarios. We're like, fuck, you know, I might have to fight them because I logged out to Hulu. Just people walking up like, what's happening? Well, I think it's Hulu or Netflix. Oh, one of those.

One of those. I'll come back in 10 minutes. Very common. I don't think they're actually going to fight. But I'm going to wait it out. They're yelling from the balcony. Yeah. Yeah.

What is a myth? What some of the people think is true you know to be false? I don't know if we've talked about this. I hope not. The cats at Disneyland? The cats at Disneyland? Yes. I don't know if we have talked about it.

What do you mean the cats at Disneyland? You know about the cats at Disneyland. People like these cats. Yo, you've seen the cats at Disneyland? The hordes of cats who live at Disneyland and come out at night. Feral cats. There are cats that live at Disneyland. You know about the cats at Disneyland. People like these cats at... Yo, have you seen cats at Disneyland? The hordes of cats who live at Disneyland and come out at night. Feral cats. There are cats that live at Disneyland? Yes. That's where the play Cats is set. I know the myth thing, but

it's a myth to a lot of people, but it's real. There are cats at Disneyland. And that's how they keep all the rodents and everything out of there. And they roam the park at night. Not Mickey, though. No, not Mickey. They don't keep that room. Before the park opens, they run off. They have their own area. Because they already know. park at night and not mickey though no not they don't keep that emergency in that shit before the park opens they run off they have their own area because they already know catch one yeah because

they're actual feral because they're like i'm not trying to be fucking no every once while you'll see one that just kind of stayed and they'll be like in a bush and they'll just stay there all day but you think like wouldn't they be also eating people like if they are feeding the cats like if they see a cat then the cats are the habits of like eating. I don't know about this, but some people say they heard them. They know to go at like 6 a.m. every morning to an area and then they'll come back at night. Oh, maybe they train them with like really great treats at that place. It wouldn't be that hard. All you can eat buffet.

You've never heard about the cats at Disney. I don't know a lot. That's okay, man. But no, this is news to me. Yeah, the Cats at Disney. I don't know a lot. That's okay, man. But no, this is news to me. Yeah, the Cats at Disney. The only things I know is Club 33. That's like the closest thing. Have you been yet?

No, but I know two people. I just find out I have a line that I could get to go. I know somebody who knows somebody who got them in, but the hookup wasn't strong enough for them to be like, Aiken, what about me? To go another level? I barely know them, so there's no way it's happening. Do you want to go?

I don't know. Jack, do you want to go to Club 33? Why not? Oh, hell yeah. Are you guys Disney? I love Disney. What do you think the most prestigious invite-only parties? Club 33. Club 33. I feel like Magic Castle is like three steps below. Magic Castle is like

trying to get into a fucking discovery zone. Right. You can get into it. Doesn't it feel like in the last 10 years it's become so easy to get into Magic Castle? Yeah.

In the last 10 years, they've really, but good for that. I mean, it's awesome. I love it. I had the luck of a friend of mine who I've known since preschool. Their father was like

a founding performer at there. So like my homies would act wild out of pocket in there yeah like not like immoral or whatever right just be like get sad drunk sometimes and other times people be like you should stop serving him but like the reverence they treat them with like we're gonna give you a ride home i'm like dude what the this is like the one bar they drive you home rather than like don't get the fuck out but yeah uh yeah so i'm a disney guy but but well i don't know is it i know that same thing that you have to be invited like by somebody 33 yeah yes but that that pool of people is even much

smaller right like and also i know like some of the the drawings are like they move and shit inside there and i know it's one of the few places has like a full-on full alcohol bar in disneyland And there's like... I don't think I'm wrong. We have so many Disney Hive people who listen to the show that already know. I think there's some sort of super hookup where you can... They've converted Walt's old office. You can

sleep in the park. There's a suite. Oh yeah, the Cinderella's suite. Is it next to walt's office no i think it's in the uh in the magic castle okay there is like a hotel room about walt's office and i can't remember whatever it is well his his office used to be on main street yeah i know disney main street um well zeitgang uh if you're the club 33 hookup oh come on let him know yeah oh wow if you want to pull up with some legends, okay.

I walked up to Club 33 and just said Fidelio. What happened? What happened? No. Show him your taser burn you got. Right on his ribs. Eyes wide shut. Wait, was Fidelio a thing?

Where's that from? That's an eyes wide shut password. Oh, shit. Wow, we were just talking about eyes wide shut shit. That they use for the sex party. Wow, we were just talking about Eyes Wide Shut yesterday. Eyes Wide Shut is having a moment. Very much. A resurgence.

Yeah. Now that we know that rich people really do that shit. Except far, far worse. Yeah. What is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? FedEx office near me. I don't have a printer. Is that telling?

Nobody does. How many people? It's weird. Once you get done with college, that was the last time I was like, I need a fucking printer. I don't have good luck with printers. I swear, they always just don't work right.

I got a printer and it stopped working and I'm like, I can't do this. And you're like, I don't want to deal with it. Yeah, it was Amazon Prime, so I just sent it back. Oh, that's a problem. Today's billion dollar idea because we always just giving these out on the Daily Zeitgeist. Uber for printers. You know, that's, wow.

I'm not joking. Yeah, we give out real billion dollar ideas. Yeah, we do. It's called Homie with a Printer. Yeah. And what you do is you pull up the app and you look for the Homie with a Printer. Yeah. And what you do is you pull up the app and you look for the Homie with a Printer. You email the very, it's a very, it's an encrypted attachment, so they can't duplicate it. Yeah.

Well, it's going to get weird because then they can print out like multiple. Yo, can I invest or something? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we're still in our first round. Hit us with a 20 and we'll. I'll give you 25. Wow. 25 million?

Damn. 25 Doritos. You're going to be quarter owner. No, I will. Yeah. All right. Yeah, we go in a shark tank. We're like 25. Wow. 25 million? Damn. 25 Doritos. You're going to be quarter owner. No, I will. Yeah. All right. Yeah, we go on a shark tank. We're like sharks.

Okay. For funding, we have $100. Cash. We're looking for a million dollar investment for a 1% stake in our company. We're like, this is a $100 million company? Yes. Full. It's called Homie with a Printer.

You ever date somebody with a printer? Yo. Just for the printer? I didn't. Full disclosure, I? Yo. Just for the printer? I didn't. Full disclosure, I never dated this person for the printer. I thought about going on another date because they had a full-on office section of their apartment. That you had already installed on your computer. So you didn't have to do that extra shit.

I'm like, what is that, an Epson? Yeah, I'm going to put that printing driver on my computer. Make sure I'm connected to the Wi-Fi. It connects automatically. My wife is a printer queen. She makes sure that printing driver on my computer. Make sure I'm connected to the Wi-Fi. It connects automatically. My wife is a printer queen. She makes sure that we always have a printer going. Oh, see. That's a keeper.

Yeah, that's a keeper. That's why. I'm not saying that's exactly why I married her, but you know. This gives me to something to think about with Her Majesty. I'm going to tell my partner, Her Majesty, I'm going to be like, you know Jack's wife got a printer. That's right. I'm out here single at FedEx office. Getting hit on by one of the techs, like, you need help?

Yeah, right. Fam to hit start? I wish I got attention from someone who actually worked there. Yeah, you start finessing it for some free printing? They're like, I feel like we just go on these dates so you can get free printing at FedEx office because of my employee discount. They're like, no, baby.

Or just, yeah, because some someone has to get off to it. Yeah. That's to be that someone has to be into it. Oh, I love printing your shit. There's so many freaks in the world. I don't care what size attachments you send. I'll print everything. You want a collated?

I'll beat them all. Double sided. Printing is interesting i i feel like more page more products would have adopted the model where it's basically like gouging where they're like yeah we give you the printer for a really good price but then the ink costs like hundreds of dollars yeah um but you can um again from amazon you can get off-brand ink oh really but that's only if you have a printer that works right yeah yeah yeah so that's a good you have a printer that works. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's a good band. Probably goofs it up. Off-Brand Ink? Yeah. That sounds like a cool MC crew. Sounds like a bad tattoo parlor. Like there's Murder Ink or whatever? Yeah.

Off-Brand Ink. There you go. What is something you think is underrated? Off-Brand. Oh, I was... God, I'm so off-tune. I was going to say murder, but like... It's Off-Brand.

It's murder. I need to outsource for the- Hollow, hollow. Anybody who wants printer cartridges for a dollar, dollar. And if this was like the DMX, it'd be like- Yeah. But it's not. Same era.

Same era. What is something you think is overrated? Dogma. Dogma the movie. No, the movie, but like... Kevin Smith's most overrated film. Dude, the portrayal of the Golgotha? Actually, you know what?

I kind of enjoyed the film. I think they could have gone further, but when I say dogma, I mean like rules and regulations when it comes to spirituality. Like this is right, this is wrong. One size fits all. Otherwise, you're going to hell

so anyone like you know to me that's that's overrated and like i'm not you know i don't really do organized religion but i was raised muslim i'd love to see like a muslim perspective from like someone who was raised this way but like you know doesn't really sort, you know, doesn't really sort of, you know, align with organized religion. Sure. But, yeah, I actually went to Mecca in Saudi Arabia with my parents because, you know, I think they wanted, you know, to save my soul. Yeah. Or whatever.

And, god damn. Empty ritual, man. Or you have to do this. And like, I have a lot of baby hair, as you can see. So you have to cover everything. The i have a lot of baby hair as you can see so you have to cover everything the standard of decency in saudi arabia and i'm not gonna like also say saudi arabia and islam are the same thing it's like but that's where there's levels to it yeah well saudi arabia it's like it's run but you know it's it's the patriarchy but like out in the open but with american name brands yeah exactly so um you know

everyone was sort of like oh your baby hair is falling out women would come up to me try to fix my thing because you know yeah like it was like forehead you gotta have those edges laid honey no you can't have the edges laid you gotta have them pulled back if i have them laid on my forehead oh my god that's so scandalous i might as well be walking around with my titties out when was the at what point were you sort of as as a child is that when you sort of realized i organized religion isn't for me because it's always interesting like i i my parents weren't really religious my grandparents were and i went to like lutheran and catholic schools and at a certain point you kind of like look around like i don't know if this is for me right i mean what y'all are doing i think it was my first introduction to sort of like a connection to like, you know, that sort of energy.

But like, so that part was cool. But like all the rules I know was like, this is like, I don't want to like do this or whatever. It bunched up against your like sort of spirit as like a young teenager. But that was sort of my window to like, you know, if you're like, like really going through something, you're just like, you know, you need, you want to reach out to something. That was sort of my window. But I was like,

I was the kind of kid who was like, question everything. Because if it's the truth, why not? Yeah. Of course. There you go. All right, Joe Rogan. So you're...

I'm fucking with you. Hey, Joe Rogan. Get me out. Go on, Joe Rogan. All right. He'd be like, you smoke DMT? hey joe rogan get me a go on joe uh all right you know i'd love to love all the profound shit that you just said my question is baby hair those are the little hairs hell yeah coming out when your hair is pulled back okay it's like these little hairs that just do not grow any longer that you can sort of like comb down and do like a like chili from TLC.

Get a little finger wave going. Yeah. Very. Her baby hair is just on point. All right. We are going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. Harold R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson.

I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer. This is Rip Current. Available now with new episodes every Thursday.

This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.

Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels, into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the biscuits.

It's right here in black and white in print. A lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that.

Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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.

And we're back. So there's this BuzzFeed article that that last story about Netflix

sort of allowing us to speed up how we view their content. This Buzz made me think of there's this BuzzFeed article talking about how the 2010s broke time as it exists in our brain. And they're just talking about all the different things. Like you kind of hear this all the time now, right?

Like time has melted, my brain has melted, Donald Trump has melted my brain. I feel like that happened four weeks ago, but it was only two days ago or, you know. Right, or when we were like, didn't the impeachment thing start like last week and it's been five weeks right and in the 20 months so they're pointing out that all this all these things that change how we just interact with our world like came out in the

like since the i guess they say in the 20 months between Hillary Clinton's campaign announcement and Trump's inauguration, everything from Apple Music to HBO Now to Apple News launched or relaunched. The Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Apple Watch hit the market. Publishers established the current form and tone of the news push alerts that you receive. Facebook launched a live streaming function uh and then deprioritized it when people started killing people on it uh instagram launched the uh instagram stories uh twitter introduced the quote tweet option and has transitioned into a

like algorithmically driven version yeah rather than like real time rather than real time you're getting like what they want you to read right what yeah what they think you're going to enjoy and continue to read like what's the most sticky thing and this is causing what they want you to read right there's also the thing you're saying but and i cynical but yes i think we'd be dumb not to be cynical, that they're also pushing certain things in there. Right. What do you mean?

Like just suppressing things that, what do you mean? I just think, like four or five months ago, I unfollowed everyone as this. Yes, exactly. And you realize, well, it's also funny, you realize who your friends are like really addicted to it. Because they're like yeah what the fuck dude. And you're like well look.

It wasn't just you. Yeah right right right. But. I realize like I still have a feed. Right. It's showing me stuff. Right. It's showing me tweets. And I'm not following anybody.

Right. Right. So that's when I was like this is. They're telling. I mean. To a certain degree they're telling, I mean, to a certain degree, they know what I want to see and what I've liked and stuff.

But I also throw it off and just like everything sometimes. Sure. Right. I thought you liked my tweets, man. I do like, like a lot of yours. Okay, thank you.

Sometimes I don't like them just because I'm like, he's getting cocky. He's getting cocky with these one tweets a week. What's he doing? Enough. Fool it.

Two weeks in a row? That is what. Yeah. On a Tuesday? Wow. Enough cold brew, my man? So is that sort of just sort of talking about the idea that because even Facebook, right, that timeline or whatever the fuck it was called before timeline, your wall or whatever felt like a real time thing

of everyone posting things and now i like twitter because i knew what my friends were up to at that moment yes yeah and then so now because that sort of melted away that's just has like this knock-on thing of like when is now right when is earlier yeah like when is yeah i mean the tomorrow a good example they were talking about on the press box podcast was that uh rolling stone article that everybody was up in arms about the list of the 50 best singers singer songwriters or whatever uh and everybody was like what the fuck bob dylan's number one this is such bullshit and uh people were like weighing in and then somebody pointed out that the article was from 2008 right that everybody was getting me he was unquestionably the best singer then but it's like it's just like people I don't know we well the

things could pop up because we're like up yeah yeah we think we're interacting with things that are happening well what's that one tweet that keeps getting the shrimp fried rice? It goes viral like every week someone writes the same tweet. Like, you telling me the shrimp fried this rice? Yeah. Oh, wow. It's just a dad joke. Yeah, it'll go viral.

I'll see it once a week, somebody else retweeting it into my feed, and it's somebody else wrote it. Right, right, right. I think it's become a meme because of the fact that people keep writing it, and now I've heard it by like 30 different versions of it. Yeah, they did do some takes that were pretty. There's some good ones. Yeah.

Yeah, and it's like every time they're at the end of a football game or something like a championship, I always retweet, Africa's getting so many t-shirts. Right. Oh, right after a sports thing. Right. And it's everyone does that joke every time. Yeah, yeah.

But it gets retweeted a bazillion times. I mean, yeah, like two people invented the light bulb at the same time like in two separate cities completely independently of each other because that idea was just in the air so that is happening constantly until they do that no one knew how or when people got ideas though right that's exactly right and then since that time uh, the same light bulbs have been popping on over people's heads. I've had a candle moment just now. I got mine when I lived in Silver Lake. We got it replaced to an Edison bulb. It's pretty cool. When I get an idea, it's a big-ass one.

How much does that procedure cost? I actually have been admiring that. Edison bulbs are everywhere. Too much. Yeah, it's that and the vertical fence. Or the horizontal fence. Or the gentrifier fence. It's that and Edison. You're like, you know they have Edison bulbs in that house. The entire interior is an Edison bulb.

In the same back. And there's a cardboard antler head. Yes. Or a buck head made out of cardboard. Yes. Yeah. So I guess I didn't fully appreciate how much of this had changed in the last decade like yeah it really is something else though too like when you realize how we used to take in media or

what we thought was even social media at the time i went from oh all this is in real time yeah to now like no could be from whenever right and like how subtly that like affects you too because instagram goes from being anything like yo this is telling me what everyone's taking a photo of right now too this is what's been happening the last five fucking days on instagram yeah and then i'm like is and you have there is a version of you that exists on social media where they know so much about you that yeah like you were saying bill you can stop following everybody it doesn't matter they still know what you're gonna like yeah yeah uh yeah we exist in black mirror uh more now or they also know what you this is the thing i've noticed they know what you will respond to in a negative way and put it in front of you yeah yeah because they'll know you'll like quote

tweet it and be like you see this fucking shit right here? Right. And like, cause all they want's the interaction. So they're gonna show you stuff where you're like, why am I seeing, oh, because you want me to be mad and you know I'll react. So that's the manipulation part I'm talking about. Yeah, no, for sure.

All right, let's check in with what Bill Murray's been up to, Miles. Oh, God, God bless him. God what Bill Murray's been up to, Miles. Oh, God. God bless him. God bless Bill Murray. This guy is everywhere. I think he did. I think God did bless him.

God did bless him. He's got a pretty good life. He's got the only form of alcoholism that results in an amazing show business career. Right. Has helped him out. Well, you always hear these, you know, it sort of goes along the theme of Bill Murray of like, he's always popping up at a random party. Right. popping up at this place he's serving drinks at this bar and now this is a thing that came out running on the field during the cubs game

he's like oh that's bill murray like i think he's kind of drinking bro um so he was on amy schumer's podcast recently and said that he, like, he applied for a job recently. They're like, what, what, what are you talking about? He's like, yeah, like an actual job. Uh, and he said, quote, I did fill out an application at PF Chang's at the Atlanta airport. Cause I think that's one of the great places. And they were like, okay.

Uh, when they asked like, what do you mean? Like, what did you apply for? He just goes, you know, just to work there. It looks like the best time. So then, like, the P.F. Chang Twitter was like, you're hired, bro. Yeah, fucking A. But I don't know if – it's so funny. Like, when I think about Bill Murray, like, he's just at that point,

he's so bored that he's, like, kind of being like, yo, that would be kind of tight. Let me just work at P.F. Chang's. Is this all a stunt? Is he that lonely? Does he just want that? He just likes to see the surprise on people's faces when they're like, oh my God, Bill Murray just gave me this orange chicken.

I think he just does whatever he wants because there's no restriction. I think that's part of, I think there is like, he's probably just a really fun drunk. Right. But I also think that knowing enough famous people without even, just because they're also human, they start seeing what the limitations are. That's why a lot of them get in trouble. Right.

That's why it's impressive when some people are just normal and famous. Right. I don't know what they're doing, but it's evil or something. It's a spell or something. Why are you so well-adjusted? Yeah, well, it's a lot of work to be that well-adjusted. But I think he started pressing limits. Like, what are my limits?

Like, I can go to all these secret rooms. I'm invited to all the Hollywood shit. I'm Bill Murray. Can I walk into P.F. Chang into... P.F. Chang's. P.F. Chang's. Can I walk off... Can I walk over to this person's table while they're eating and grab a biscuit from their plate and eat it and put it

back down? And then say, no one will believe you. Yes, and walk off without anybody trying to fight me. Right. And then no one tried to fight him. Right. So he just kept escalating it. Yeah. Eventually he's just going to hit pedestrians with his car or something.

Well, probably. I don't know, 5,000 points, I thought. Or at least a golf cart. At least he'll hit something with a golf cart. Sure, sure, sure. I think he's got enough people around him that they'll be like, you can't drive anymore. Right. I think he'll be like, cool, limitations, finally.

Right. Yeah, just waiting until somebody says no to him. Yeah, that's all he wants is, I just want someone to tell me no. It would be nice that that guy in charge of the PF changes would be like, hey, Bill, you've got to put the things in. Right. You've got to marry the ketchup. He's like, God, thank you.

Yeah. Now I don't. This sucks. Yes. Before, I could just do all the drugs and everyone would love me. William, William, can you come back here really quick? Yeah, you're putting hoisin sauce on the wrong dishes, man. Yeah, you're not-

The guide is there for a reason. You should know how to assemble these dishes. He's just like, this is the best, this is the most fun I've had in years. This shouldn't be fun. This is P.F. Chang's, William. I feel so free. You're doing the job wrong if this is fun. Yeah.

So free. There's no buns. But he famously, he doesn't have representation, right? He doesn't have a standard. It's a voicemail. Yeah, I think he has a phone number. You leave a voicemail, and then he calls. I'm sure there's, that's like the legend,

but I'm sure there's like, just knowing how all of it works. But he doesn't have, there's a lawyer or fucking somebody. There's probably a lawyer, but it has to be. but he's typically the one who fields his own call like or he decides if he wants to call back or not because he listens to the voicemails where people are like hey we want you to play fdr yeah right thing he's like cool i'll do that we want you to play general pf drunk yeah i'll do that right it's how he ended up in the Garfield movie because he thought that the Joel Cohen who wrote it was from the Coen brothers and not just a random dude.

He really did think that? Yeah. He explained to somebody in an interview, he was like, yeah, I really regret doing the Garfield movie. I thought the Joel Cohen was the Cohen brother. That's an alcoholic thing to do. As someone that used to drink quite a bit, that is, I recognize what that was.

I thought that was something else, and then I was too far in to admit. Yeah. Some people are just really, really good at at being drunk and well and then even years later that's also a drunk thing to do is admit it hold on to exactly you still like yeah i would feel so much shame about that like i would never tell anybody i would quit my career and he just like goes and does a rolling stone interview the movies that dude wrote is pretty interesting he wrote toy story first of all

damn monster master movie money talks if you remember with charlie sheen and chris tucker when he goes uh you you're i'm sorry your wife is fat uh phat pretty hot and tempting um goodbye lover cheaper by the dozen both garfield movies evan almighty daddy day camp gnomes and trolls the secret chamber damn this dude stays working Then kind of stopped after The Last Godfather, which is a South Korean comedy film. Interesting, he got into South Korean films. Well, it sounds like he made his money. Yeah, after Toy Story, I don't know how you go back to work.

Well, it sounds like he had a contract that he had to fill, because those are all big studio movies that make no sense as like an artist yeah right if you're just a writer and you're like i wrote toy store is my first one right i could retire but then i have to give them the money back right so now i have to write cheaper by the dozen yeah right and toy story is like animated movies don't pay writers shit because it's not a it's not a guild thing animated movies it is now it is because it wasn't in the 90s no it was not no god damn motherfucker rose so in toy story and he's like yeah um am i seeing it sorry it was a buyout yeah we talked about how the writers of the lion king

didn't get shit right for that movie being like a multi-billion dollar success that's right anything for that aladdin they didn't get shit for that. At least there's not reminders of it everywhere. Right. Yeah. You know, who can remember those films anyway? Jesus Christ. But Jamie, first, we'd like to ask our guest,

what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are? Titanic, Mexico. Oh, where they shot it? How did you know that? Because because my mom she's a film critic she went she did a set visit at I remember at the time and she came back she's like James Cameron is making a Titanic movie and he's a really cool set I went she talks like Ken Watanabe in there but I remember seeing the photo

Mike why Mexico and I didn't realize they just had that like little bay that they shot hey James Cameron James Cameron was asking himself why Mexico

after a while because there was a hurricane that tore the roof off of where one of the sound stages that they shot

oh really you guys know all these facts about the production of Titanic I know Miles' mom is a film critic

totally passive for me and my guilty pleasure is sadly movie reviews production of Titanic. I know. Miles' mom is a film critic. Totally passive for me. And my guilty pleasure is sadly movie reviews. I just read every movie review and behind the scenes. That's what I did growing up.

I felt like you... I realized for you, Titanic is so important that somehow these old guys are like, yeah. Yeah, they shot it in Mexico. Shot it in Mexico. Too bad about the weather, though. Too bad. You're like, what the fuck is happening?

From both sides. You hear about the hurricane. That was bad about the weather. Very, very terrifying. Are you thinking about visiting the spot where it all happened? No, I was, so I've been Very terrifying. Are you thinking about visiting the spot where it all happened? No. So I've been working on a show for the past month or so,

and I was writing a lot of Billy Zane-specific jokes that were then, for a number of reasons, brought back to me because they were maybe not historically accurate enough about the very specific production of Titanic where I got some notes from the Zane camp that were like well you know this joke can't be said

because actually we were filming in Mexico and so if there were any ghosts haunting the set of Titanic they would be ghosts from people who were in Mexico or Mexican themselves so we actually need a rewrite on this because and you were like idiots nobody

knows that it was shot in Mexico and then we just totally people close to me knew right away that night of the show and I'm like I'm really disappointed in Jamie I can't believe this no wrong wrong no no jamie it's mexico wait where was the joke originally

what where did you think it was well i was writing it okay maybe this is revealing too much i'm fine i just the location where just we'll keep it simple without revealing the humor of it the no i mean it's uh it so i was writing it as if they were actual like ghosts from the actual titanic got it that was i was thinking more movie centric i wasn't thinking about the extended universe of the production of it right then it was they were like well think about put yourself in in zane's shoes yeah what goes what he have been seeing you think he's gonna be able to believe this line? Will he come to your show? Well, he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Sorry, guys. All right, we're back. We had to cut a little bit because Jamie got too deep into her NDA. Yeah, his controversy. Some very, very compelling stuff that we just learned. Here's what I'll say. There's a picture of Billy Zane on the wrap party cake. Okay. That's all I'll say. That's all I'll say. That's a picture of Billy Zane on the wrap party cake. Okay.

Okay. That's all I'll say. That's all I'll say. That's all you need to know. Have you ever met anybody who didn't know that Titanic was a real boat until the movie? Or like thought it was just a movie? Yes.

Yeah. Which is, I want to like, I was like, wait a second. What? Hey? Just a movie?

I love, I love when people don't, because it's it's like i mean you can't be like that mad because the titanic like it's a big thing but it's not like you know i feel like you don't lose your perspective of the entire world by just never having heard of it totally it's like you're not ignorant it's just a weird knowledge gap right yeah that was a joke in my family about my my mom's mom was born two days before the Titanic sank.

Oh, really? And I'm like, oh, you as old as a Titanic, grandma. She didn't like that. I went to, I saw an afternoon screening of Judy

a couple of weeks ago. There was someone in the crowd. It was like an older crowd. It was like noon on a Sunday. And there was someone in the crowd who didn't know that Judy Garlandland died i guess or like died young oh because there's it's not a great movie but i hope she's okay well at the end you know like at the end of like a

biopic it says like you know two weeks later judy garland died at the age of 47 and someone in the audience was like oh like they were so shocked. I was really enjoying the film. They're like, I thought she was going to pull through. I was like, how would you think that? Yeah. But they were just really, I mean, they were visibly like, wow.

Optimism. And I mean, to that point, James Cameron's Titanic does not include like a part at the end where it's like, that really happened, what you just saw or anything like that. You got to remind them. You got to remind people. An end card that says, dude, that shit was real. Seriously, you believe that shit?

Totally happened. Everything except the placement of the stars and that dude pinging off the propeller. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. This summer, the nation watched as the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts, separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago, when President Gerald Ford faced

two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president. One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman. The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground. Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore. The story of one strange and violent summer.

Just, you know what? Listen to the Amber and Lacey, Lacey and Amber show on Will Ferrell's Big Money Players Network on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. Let's talk about the president. More bad news for the president. Oh, no. Yeah, he, well, there was a fundraiser on wednesday night in dc that was

held at the trump hotel in dc and apparently like trump went up and did like an hour of like i guess mixture of complaining almost mixture of complaining about democrats or mitt romney and also telling dumb fucking jokes or like kind of half roasting people and then also patting himself on the back for killing Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and then was basically saying that he called Representative John Joyce's wife, quote, a looker. OK. And called a shorter congressman, Chuck Fleischman, a little guy and some other stuff.

But the thing that really stuck out at people is that he was talking to Steve Scalise, who is the minority whip in the House. He was involved in it. He was shot. He was a victim of a shooting in 2017 at that congressional baseball game or the practice with the congressional baseball team. When he was talking about him, this is what Trump said. This is from Politico. They say, the president reflected on the shooting

of Steve Scalise a few years ago and remarked how tough the Louisiana Republican is. And Trump quipped, he wouldn't recommend getting shot as a weight loss plan. Trump also said Scalise's wife, cried her eyes out when I met her

at the hospital that faithful day. I mean, not many wives would react that way to a tragedy. I know mine wouldn't. I mean... Hold on. So even if he's like trying to do the, ah, my wife, she's a real bad ass,

always getting mad at me type thing, it's still starting from a baseline that not many wives would cry when their husband was shot. Well, based on his experience of wives, that would probably make a lot of sense. No one would be said,

Oh God, that's so, that's so dark. I know. That's so many layers of like, Oh, he thinks he's like, you know,

God, like everyone, you know, how like wives don't care about you. Cause you probably abuse them and they're all like just sullen all the time. Right. Isn't that right?

Am I right? Am I right? Am I right, guys? Am I right? Like, can you imagine him walking into Scalise's hospital room and like, is just like, what's her problem? Yeah. Like his wife is like bawling.

What's her deal? Why she? Why she so sad? She got a period. Like what? She got her period. Her wife is like bawling. What's her deal? Why is she so sad? She got a period. Like what? She got her period? Her wife is in critical condition. What the fuck is that?

Melania, you never do that. Yeah. Told you my tear ducts don't work. Oh, that's right. That's right. Yeah, I don't know. It was a very, it's funny when you see these moments

where like all the Trump family just say these things that are revealing about their mental state. Right. Or like how they see the world and things like that. So like even when Don Jr. was like, I think recently he said, I wish my name was, he was on Hannity. He said, I wish my name was Hunter Biden so I can make millions of dollars off my dad. Right.

Oh, that was great. That was beautiful. Okay. And even what was the other one when he said like, when you, when the father is powerful and you're the son they own you that's how it works yeah i was like they just had these moments of clarity that are just so interesting father is powerful like yeah i mean there's no doubt that their relationship behind the scenes makes uh logan roy look like fucking mr rogers right like trump is just probably so mean to them oh absolutely i mean you can tell even what we said the way he was interacting with children and costumes right he probably does not interact with children he

doesn't like it because like i don't know that you can barely talk to them about the stock market yeah like he just met his kids when they turned 18. Like that kind of, yeah. It's like, yeah. Like Ivanka is like, this is your new granddaughter.

He goes, Oh wow. Yeah. Do you, do you know Obama is a Muslim? She's not responding. She's two days old, dad.

I don't know. She's probably a fucking lib. There's that story about how uh i think i think avanka tells it like about how he taught them to be competitive but it's like basically when they would go skiing together as a family he would like attack them with his poles to try and like trip them up and shit yeah and it was like first one down would get love yeah basically yeah i love i love i do love a competition for a parent's love i know that is fun just like openly encouraging that is so dark the most evil thing you can do but that like that you know crosses socioeconomic lines like

poor parents make you fight for their love too and that's also fun yeah that's awesome it's a time-honored tradition my dad used to do a game with us called Poopstick. Oh, no. Based off that Upright Citizens Brigade sketch? Yeah, my dad's a huge UCB fan. No, this was like a long time. But no, my dad would like have us, like me and my cousins,

run around until one of us, because he had to always pick up the dog's crap and he could never find it. And so he'd have us run around until one of us, because he had to always pick up the dog's crap and he could never find it. And so he'd have us run around until one of us stepped in the poop. And then he would get the poop stick and he would scrape the poop off. Yeah, and then you'd get extra snack at lunch.

That's kind of ingenious. Yeah, it was pretty smart. So you were- Low rent Logan Roy. Yeah. So you were trying to find it. As a kid, do you remember trying to run around and step in the shit? Yeah, you're like looking at him like.

You want to step in the shit. You want to step in the shit because then you get extra love and snacks. It wasn't enough to be like, I found it here. No need to dirty your shoe. You can just pick it up here. No, he'd wave the stick at the front of the house. Who wants it? Poop stick, poop stick.

Scrape it off. Ringing the dinner bell with the poop stick. Oh, man. So nasty. It was a pointy stick though. Irape it off. Ringing the dinner bell with the poop stick. Oh, man. So nasty. It was a pointy stick, though. I really got it out. I've been sweeping my backyard like a mind sweeper, looking for those dog poops.

I didn't know about this genius move. Just send the kids outside. They'll find it. Yeah, it's like a weird AI hack where it's like, I use children. Right. Your porch smells like dog shit all the time because our shoes are covered in shit like the reason I go mind-sweeping for the poop is so that my

kids don't track it in the house well that's a classical approach to right yeah I'm not thinking 4d chess oh man you really need to experience some kind of paradigm shift all right that's gonna do it for this week's weekly zeitgeist. Please like and review the show if you like the show. It means the world to Miles.

He needs your validation, folks. I hope you're having a great weekend, and I will talk to you Monday. Bye. We'll be right back. Thank you. Kay hasn't heard from her sister in seven years.
