Hello, the internet, and welcome to Season 15, Episode 5 of Der Daily Zeitgeist. For January 26, 2018, my name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Paper Jack Ryder. Beatles. That is courtesy of Ryan Lhovde. Nailed it. At Ryan Lhovde.

And I am joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray. That's right. It's Friday, kids. We're about to go into the weekend, and the XFL is coming back. So to honor the return of the XFL, it's your boy Miles, a.k.a. HeGreatMe. Thank you so much to Trevor on Twitter. Alright. I think you got

the pronunciation right. I'm not that good at inflection. And we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by one of our favorites, frequent podcast guest Jamie Loftus. Jamie Loftus. Jamie Loftus.

I was at a coffee shop with my friend before I came here and we ran into a mutual friend who I never know where this person falls on me. And he was like, oh, what are you doing for the rest of the day? I was like, oh, I'm going to go record a podcast. And he said, oh yeah, I forgot. You're a frequent podcast

guest. I'd just be like, hey, I i'm gonna go it's like i had just said like hey i'm gonna go to see if there's a fresh corpse i can have sex with somewhere like he was straight up horrified oh right you drown cats in a barrel yes enjoy your friday oh yeah you're into that yeah no because when you tweeted that i was like damn she's sub tweeting us jamie just tweeted like minutes before she walked in. Right before she walked into our studio, she tweeted, there's nothing more demoralizing or debasing than being described as a frequent podcast guest.

It was all about the intonation. It was straight up. I was just like, oh, you do. What does this person do to keep it fully vague? Yeah, well, this person is a writer of some sort professionally yes okay yeah so like but that's come on don't come for it don't come for you because you also a former podcast host and it's like fuck out of here you know what zeitgang roll up on this anonymous person roll up on the anons jamie what's something that you've searched

in the not too distant past that's revealing about who you are okay uh some of my some of my recents are uh buddy holly funeral pictures that was this morning i wanted to see okay so i i was thinking about making these um i just wanted to treat myself this morning i was like i'm gonna make some paper dolls of like buddy holly's funeral. So I have like a little – I'll send it to you. I have like a little casket, his little crying widow, his guitar, the ghost of Richie Valens. Like they're all there.

Gang's all there. Wow. So that's one. Last night I searched doula crimes just to see if any had happened. Like for – that's like a midwife kind of thing or birth a sister a doula is a midwife that doesn't have any medical qualifications she's literally just like hangs out and is like you're doing great yeah your vibe is oh amazing and then they just get to like live with you like some sort of weird leech person. That's appropriate for you. Yeah.

And doulas, turns out lots of doulas, thieves. Oh, really? Yeah, because their job is just to hang out. Someone who is acting like they have some kind of medical expertise in a field that doesn't require any kind of medical license could be a shyster. Hanging around people during the most distracting thing possible. Right, right, right. He's going to catch you. I like that all the stories are just –

There's a lot of doulas who steal. Right. Oh, like just straight up like lifting shit off people, like their property? Yeah, like they'll find out after the birth that the doulas had been stealing the whole time. It's like Geeks Who Drink, but it's doulas who steal. Nice. Oh, also, what is your beef with Geeks Who Drink?

I've been seeing that on Twitter, and then the people are clapping back, and we're like, hey, we think you do. What is Geeks Who Drink? Okay, Geeks Who Drink is a trivia night that happens all over the country. And the geeks show up. They're drinking. It's a disaster. It's like one of those things that just starts at a bar that you're already at and then you're just like, now I'm at Geeks Who Drink.

And there's like some hot lady who's like, welcome to Geeks Who Drink and then starts asking you questions about – And was that a woman from the south or was that a European accent? That was Australian. Oh, amazing. That was my Marco Raffi impression. Oh, that was sorry good. That was pretty good.

Sorry. And so I just started harassing the Geeks Who Drink just to let them know that I thought that they were geeks and they shouldn't be drinking. And they took it really – like I think that they thought I was like truly going to – Bullying them. Yeah. And I forgot how sensitive geeks are. And so I stopped bothering the geeks who drink because they have enough trauma to deal with. Yeah, yeah, for sure.

They're geeks for crying out loud. See, you're a kind guy. And then I also searched for Michael Kupperman this morning because he's one of my favorite artists. He's just a visual artist. He's a comic artist. He makes some of the funniest shit in the world. So those are my three. Dope.

Yeah. That's a lot. But we haven't seen you in a while, so we've got to get people up to speed on you. What's something that you think is overrated? Sober January. Yeah. I think Sober January is a very weird cry for help. Sober January.

Yeah. I think Sober January is a very weird cry for help. There's no one I've heard who's doing Sober January that it's like, oh, but maybe sober the rest of your life. You know, like so. Right. So Sober January is a cry for help. And especially when people are making a big to do about it. Right.

Yeah. It's like, OK, just go. Can you believe it? I'm not drinking. I know. Like it's fine to do and to just go to a meeting. Can you believe it? I'm not drinking? I know. It's like, whoa. Like it's fine to not drink for a month, but there are people that are like blogging about it. They're like, and another day, another. It's like I feel like it's too big of a deal.

Yeah. It also makes you worried. You're like – because when people go full stop like, yo, I'm not drinking for a month. Right. Right. That usually comes off the heels of something fucking wild. A rough December. What happened in December?

Dark December. It's like I punched out a mall. Dark December, sober January. Yeah. I punched out a mall Santa. Right. And, you know, I put a curling iron to my stepmom. So you're saying maybe check out a meeting while you're doing sober January?

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, maybe just try it out as a lifestyle and also shut up about it. What do you think is underrated? Underrated is a new script I've been working on. Yes. I've heard tell of this script. Santa University

was snubbed for the Oscars, as we know. But I think next year a very strong contender is going to be my new film, I, Tony. It's a film about – it was almost about Tony Hawk, but it is going to be about Tony Danza. Yes, yes, yes. I, Tony Danza, a real underdog story. We feel that he's been disserviced by the press.

Yes. He's supposed to be a traditionally feminine – and so it's I, Tony Danza. You got to check it out. It's going to be really good. So far I have about 600 pages written. written okay so we'll have to do another live reading yeah i tony i mean who's going to play tony danza i don't know we may have to get the real tony danza he's probably available we can probably you know do we ever at the end of the script do we find out who the boss actually was oh you find you find out midway. Oh my God. Yeah. And then three more hours.

Beautiful. It's great. It's a wild ride. Did you guys ever watch the Tony Danza? Which I think so too. Yeah. But did you guys ever watch

Tony Danza's daytime show? No. I mean, I remember when he had it, but at that point I'm like, I had a job. His sidekick was a parrot. His what? His sidekick was a parrot?

Yeah. It was great. Wait, how would he include the parrot into the patter? He would just be on his shoulder. I don't know. I wasn't in high school when it was on. But he was just- He's like, I don't know if you heard about this, Squawky.

You read about this? Just bouncing jokes off. It's very conceptual humor for Tony Danza. Yeah. He hasn't been given enough credit. I Tony. He was Tim and Eric before Tim and Eric. Right.

Tony Danza. But it was fucking weird. Yeah. My first job out of college was actually being a pool boy. But my first good job was working for ABC News. And I ended up writing on this comedy segment on ABC News. It was the worst comedy. It was just a bad idea. You used the term comedy loosely. Yes.

Very loosely. It was like they were like, what about this daily show thing? What if we had a comedy segment? And we used Tony Danza as one of our punchlines and had him show up and he was the... He was there? He was there?

He was there. Was he nice? He was not thrilled about being the punchline of a joke. And he was like, I don't want to do it this way. What about this way? And we're like, that's not really how jokes work. But he ended up being a good sport. So shouts out Tony Danza, a small man.

Dan, give him a shout out. And then you take a shot at the poor man. No, he's just, I'm always fascinated by that. People who you see in person and are not. Small man is aggressive, though. Okay. All right, small man. A short man. I use small man as a compliment sometimes.

Yeah. Like, oh, that guy looks nice. I could give him a piggyback, probably. It wouldn't strain me too much. I could probably pick him up. Yeah. Like, oh, that guy looks nice. I could give him a piggyback probably. It wouldn't strain me too much. I could probably pick him up. Yeah. All right. We're trying to take a sample of what the idea is that people are talking and thinking

about right now. And we like to open up by asking our guest, what's a myth? What's something that most people believe to be true that you know to be false? Open our eyes okay so i um also talked about this the last time i was here talking about my pet leeches and how i loved them and it was a great idea i would like to now debunk that and say that it's actually an awful idea what i've gone back on my you loved your leeches you love your leeches i loved i wait are we saying past tense loved? I love them, but they're actively ruining my life.

Wow. They're – since the – okay. So they have started killing each other, which is stressful. I'm sure. I woke up to another casualty this morning. It's just like – Wow. It's like a Lord of the Flies situation where I did – I thought originally that the fattest leech had exploded.

Right. But it hadn't. It had been attacked. And how did you know it was a fattest one? I did sort of do a little toothpick poke just to see what had happened. Because I woke up and there was like just – the whole tank was full of my blood. I remember seeing that. Yeah, you posted that image.

It was bad. Yeah, it was bad. And then so I poured it – I poured them all into a pasta strainer. Oh, my gosh. That's how I clean them. Because I can't touch them or they'll start to drink me. I'm not here with Leach Protective Services, so I'm not going to judge you. Poured them into the pasta strainer, saw that one had a kind of puncture wound.

It was attacked. Oh, wound, it was attacked. Oh, wow. It was attacked. And that was the dead one? That was the dead one. And it was the fattest one. So that's a lesson for kids out there. Don't be so much better at your thing than everybody else, because then they'll all come

for you and just pull you down and probably kill you. It always be young. Just aim low. Aim low. Aim low. Just try and fit in with the pack. Exactly. Don't stand out. In the news,

Donald Trump, back in June, the New York Times is reporting, tried to fire Mueller. Damn it. How do you say that? Mueller. I said Mueller last night and my wife was like, it's Mueller. Where is she?

We won't even talk about it. Hit her with every news broadcast, unless she's got real I said Mueller last night and my wife was like, it's Mueller. Where is she? What channel is she watching? We won't even talk about it. Hit her with every news broadcast unless she's got real information. I don't know. I'm going off of what I hear on TV all the time. I started with Mueller, but then eventually I heard Mueller. Mueller. So back in June, Donald Trump tried to fire Robert Mueller and his legal counsel was basically like, I will resign if you do

that, because it will be so obvious that you're guilty that we won't be able to. I think he described it as being existential threat to the presidency. So it turns out Trump is not listening to that Watergate podcast that I was talking about yesterday. Oh, I love that podcast. It's so good, isn't it? It's really good. I had to listen to the new episode.

Um, but yeah, I mean, this is exactly what turned the entire country on Nixon was him firing the special investigator had been hired to look into Watergate. Yeah. Uh, Trump was like, nah, none of that. a special investigator had been hired to look into Watergate. Yeah. Trump was like, nah, none of that. He's like, you know what? It won't look sus at all. Right.

Try to get rid of anyone who realizes that I'm a criminal. I mean, the plot thickens and thickens and thickens to the point that I don't even know what to do anymore. This is literally dumb Watergate. This is like Watergate for idiots. Yeah. I mean, not that we already didn't know the idea that clearly something is afoot and clearly there's some shit happening because all of their behavior points to guilt you know like you know why i fucking hot fire him and then like the reasons were really flimsy that he was even trying to rationalize

like how they could spin the firing right it was It was like one was what Mueller argued about, like, yes, he's at the golf course. His idea was that he was going to tell the country that Mueller had a conflict of interest because he had his law firm had represented Jared and also because they had had a dispute over fees. Mueller had been a member of Trump's golf course in Virginia and had had to end Mueller's time at the club because of a dispute over fees. Not golf drama. Right. Yeah. Producer Nick Stumpf was saying that it's like an episode of Curbed where he's like, guess who's the investigator? The guy who we had to kick out from the golf club. We were wondering, like, was who's the investigator? The guy who we had to kick out from the golf club.

No! We were wondering, like, was Trump involved in that dispute? And Trump is such a, like, messy little bitch. Like, of course he was involved. did where they like sent all the millionaires in New York City checks for like a hundred dollars and 50 then like down to one penny to see who would actually cash them and Donald Trump was the only millionaire who cashed it down to like one cent so he is no way very detail-oriented when it comes to magazine rules yeah but yeah so this is all alleged because the New York Times is reporting this. They're shitty.

Donald Trump has responded by saying it's fake news. Fake news. That was his quote. And Mueller is apparently aware of this, has been aware that Trump wanted to fire him. So that can't be helping Trump's case that he's not obstructionist. It's like first it was like obstruction about another case and now muller's finding out if there's obstruction against the investigation to find out if there was obstruction in another matter right it's just gonna keep

zooming out i don't even know what to do but the great thing was like the fox news machine yes they were fucking they were ready you know you know once trump said fake news like when he got to switzerland they were like okay we know our parts i said fake news, like when he got to Switzerland, they were like, OK, we know our parts. This is an explicit question I've had, like while listening to this Watergate podcast that recounts like what it was like to have Watergate happening at the time. And like, you know, people didn't think it was a big deal at first. And then they started to realize it was. And I've been wondering, like, well, but that world is different because there was no Fox News. Like, how would Fox News have reacted to this Republican president, you know, being under fire?

And I think we have our answer because this is the most Watergate-y, like, revelation that I think we've had in the Trump, you know, investigation. And Fox News had this to say. So speaking of typical New York Times, you look in the first paragraph, all of this reporting based on four people who are told of the matter. Right. And also a leak from the special counsel, because we did know a little bit about this. We heard back in June that there were talks of the president wasn't happy with Bob Mueller. What would he do? Right. But some new details that may or may not actually be true. All right. Well, the president says it's fake news that happened last june do you you know it's something we have to tell you about because it is a headline in new york times what do you think about that do you even care something you probably do care about is immigration oh wow what a pivot good smoke bomb throw down right there

yeah oh do you even care it happened a while ago like you know he may be just completely throwing the country into chaos. I even care anyway. Immigrants. She might as well have been like, what about the economy? What about that? So then we have Hannity last night talking about this. And it's pretty amazing that he has to sort of do a 180 on air. So at the beginning of the show, Hannity just categorically like denying everything. It's a totally uncorroborated, unconfirmed. And then like 30 minutes into the show,

he has to come back and be like, actually, it's been confirmed. So this is just beautiful. At this hour, the New York Times is trying to distract you. They have a story that Trump wanted Mueller fired sometime last June. And our sources, and I've checked in with many of them, they're not confirming that tonight.

Oh, and the president's attorney dismissed the story and says, no, no comment. We're not going there. And how many times has the New York Times and others gotten it wrong? Serious. Forty minutes later. All right. So we have sources tonight just confirming to ed henry that yeah maybe donald trump wanted to fire the special counsel for conflict does he not have the right to raise those whatever you know we'll deal with this tomorrow night we have a shocking video of the day to bring you by the way this footage comes to us from arizona where you see that red suv high-speed police chase ultimately the suspects that's even crazier because he's like whatever

we'll deal with this later but we'll show you that immediately following that violent car crash in america today fucking crazy he throws immediately to a video clip of this fucking suv flying through i mean honestly it's so bad like i really do hope like this that wasn't a fatal accident but it's such a like aggressive distraction to just see hey yeah well whatever about that check out this fucking grotesque car accident i feel like he orchestrated it he was just like um emergency emergency probably between the commercial break he's like i can't go out there and be like put a crash down in a car we need footage yeah so what he tried to fire him the thing that he was saying a minute ago was like must be a fake story because no way this guy would do this.

I mean, what's the next defense? Now it's just to be casual about this kind of shit? How many times have the New York Times been wrong? Like they act like the New York Times is just some like gossip blog or something. Like it's like the sun in the UK or something. Yeah. And they had to vet this by like so many people. They don't just come out.

Yeah. I don't know. I don't know how many fake news awards they got. CNN had the most, I think. Right. Or they got four of them. But I think either way, trying to act like news from the New York Times is like a subtweet or something, like it's not real journalism, is just absurd. Right. it's not real journalism is just absurd right so i think the answer is fox news would have reacted

to the saturday night massacre and watergate happening by just you know making fun of the washington post and talking about how you know their journalistic credibility is like shot and i mean at the time at the beginning of watergate, people did criticize – conservatives did criticize the Washington Post and say that Woodward and Bernstein were working for McGovern and the Democrats to try to bring down the president. But eventually they had enough of a grasp on reality to be like, oh, shit. Right. Yeah. Objectively, this is fucked up. This is how a guilty man behaves. Right. By like firing everybody who's trying to find out oh shit. Right. Yeah, objectively, this is fucked up. This is how a guilty man behaves.

Right. By like firing everybody who's trying to find out what happened. Right, right. So, anyways. So probably nothing to see here, guys. Right. Nothing to see here. Do you even care?

Nobody cares to see. Told you. Front page of Drudge this morning was just about how America is open for business. Donald does Davos. Stock's up 44%, which the stock market is open for business. Donald does Davos. Stocks up 44%, which the stock market is doing very well since Trump came into office. But yeah, it's all good news. Yeah, they're not talking about how the fucking crowd

was booing his ass at Davos. So cool. Instead, they talked about how he was greeted like a rock star. Yeah, they straight up fucking laughed at him. Yeah, poor guy. All right, we're going to take a quick break. Yeah. They straight up fucking laughed at him. Yeah. Poor guy. All right. We're going to take a quick break.

We will be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do

is record everything like you always do. One session. 24 hours. BPM 110. 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.

What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. 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. They're just dreams. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm.

Atari promised $150,000 in prizes to four finalists. But the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist.

My reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure

across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It was December 2019 when the story blew up. In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play.

explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest. I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron, and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church, and then a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked.

Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. So it's time for some Mengazi.

Mengazi. Because we have a bunch of updates, just a bunch of awful human beings getting what was coming to them. So Harvey Weinstein's former assistant has come out with sort of a detailed recounting of what sounds like the worst job anyone has ever had. So his dick didn't work. No. No kidding. Do you believe it that he was overcompensating for something? So his dick didn't work.

So she had to carry his dick shots like E.D. syringes around with her. And then she had to clean up after his frequent sexual encounters. And yeah, just all around. So she's suing the shit out of him. Yeah. And Sandeep Rahal is like, I think she's a 26-year-old assistant and would even like regularly have to work with him while he was naked. Like where he would just have to be like dictating emails to her while he was in the nude. With his broken dick.

With his broken dick. Just out. The only job that's worse than that is the person who has to pull car accident footage for Sean Hannity. Right, right. Distraction car accidents. It also put me on. I didn't realize there was like there was another level for ED medication. Like straight up shot.

The pills don't work. So you have to shoot it directly into your dick. Like a little dried bone. And then you just like shoot into it. It looks like a human man. Oh, fucking awful. His star is still out on the Walk of Fame. Is it really?

Yeah, I walked past it on the way here and it is shockingly unscathed. Really? Yeah, I got to go back and spit on it. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Larry Nassar. So we've talked about how, you know, all of these gymnasts got to sort of stand up in court during his sentencing and tell their story uh the judge went just

ham on him which was according to legal people inappropriate but according to it was fucking everyone else it was like fucking awesome i thought i was watching a rap battle yeah where the other dude's getting fucking flamed and that whole trial too after every single account that the judge i I forget what her name was, but she was like, so she was fucking great. Yeah. So Miles, you had predicted that a bunch of heads were going to roll. And that has started to happen. The president of Michigan State University has resigned. So is the athletic director. Two of the top board members of USA Gymnastics have resigned. The details of the abuse are horrifying. You know,

there had been a story we mentioned before about how, you know, one of the girls had told her parents and her parents had sided with the doctor because they were just like, oh, he's an adult. He wouldn't lie to us. And then when they realized that she had been telling the truth and he was a sex crim, the dad killed himself. So apparently there are a lot of people who have basically that experience, who were told about this guy's behavior and just dismissed the victim. For 20 years. Yeah, for 20 years. I feel like the main takeaway for every parent should just be like, if your kid is telling you something like that, what do they have to gain? Like there's just – there's nothing.

It's crazy. I mean I wonder if the parents in a situation are like, oh my god, I don't want to rock the boat with this and trying to like just kind of put it under the rug or whatever. But yeah, like there's no reason for a child to lie. Like how is a young child or young person going to form like a, you know, this cunning plan to take someone down for, you know, any other reason. But the fact that their claims about abuse are true. Right. Right. I don't know if the way that stories like this are being talked about have changed so

much so quickly that it's hard for me to like put myself in the head of a parent 20 years ago. Right. I was thinking recently, like as recently as like five years ago when I was still in college, like there was no talk of what assault was, how to like prevent it, how to do it. So it the conversation is like evolving so quickly. But it's it's insane to think that that recently it would just be something that's so dismissible. The really fucked up thing that he did was he would do this and claim it was part of the treatment and just be like, hey, I'm a doctor.

It's doctor stuff. And everybody would just be like, hey, he's an Olympic doctor. He knows what he's doing. Well, also apparently now the Olympic Committee has given the gymnastics board six days to fully just everybody get the fuck out. Clean house. And also the USoc needs to fucking figure so i they should we should be talking about them too because i believe they're like a federally chartered organization right so i mean yeah it's just a shame that like this shit went on for so

long with little action but did you see the the letter that he'd like written to the court shortly yeah like he's not sorry there's no doubt that he's not sorry. And the way the story has been covered has been kind of bizarre to where like, I just looked up, uh, Larry Nassar and the most recent story, AOL.com shout out gymnastic scandal eight times. Larry Nassar could have been stopped. What a fucking listicle. Like, it's just, I don't know. I did.

How do we listicle this tragedy? Yeah. Like how do we listicle the pain of like a bunch of children? It's just gross. Yeah. It's crazy that it's not getting even more coverage like that. I mean, it is getting coverage, but these young women who are like the most famous people in America, like for two weeks at a time, were actively abused, like during the time that they were, you know, winning gold medals for America.

And becoming like, yeah, the darlings of the country. Right. And I don't know. It's a crazy story. So we have to move on just because, unfortunately, there's so many of these Benghazi stories today. of these Benghazi stories today. Steve Wynn, casino magnate, chair of fundraising for the RNC,

is being accused of multiple predetailed accounts of sexual assault or sexual abuse or sexual misconduct. There's one case that led to a $7.5 million settlement. Jesus. Yeah. So he's denying everything, but I'm sure. Oh, no kidding.7.5 million settlement. Jesus. Yeah. So he's denying everything. But I'm sure. Oh, no kidding. Yeah.

I'm sure. See, I could never afford to stay at a Wynn hotel. And I'm glad I'm still not wealthy enough to stay at a Wynn hotel because I never will, fam. Also, he looks fucking evil. He does. It looks like when Dorian in the mask, he puts on the fucking mask. Right. I don't know, like a weird tanned version of it.

Oh, my God. There's just something classically bad guy about him. He's an on sale Halloween mask. He's a November 3rd ass Halloween mask. Fuck that. He's a May 5th. At this point, Benghazi is just deflating. There's just so just – So much.

So much. Yeah. I think that's part of creating the sea change. Right. Everybody's got to be held accountable. Everybody has to reevaluate themselves. We have to give every criminal the opportunity to be like, actually, I think it was super chill what I did. Right.

Yeah. God. So he allegedly pressured different women who worked for his casino to perform sexual acts on him. So pretty awful shit. So I wanted to move on to Garrison Keillor because we had mentioned that he had been fired by Minnesota Public Radio. Like he had never seen an open back shirt before and his hand had like slipped while patting a woman on the back or something. And lo and behold, that is not the impression that you get once. had worked with him and around him and said that he was just, you know, a pretty brutal person to work for and that like people who worked with him felt mistreated, sexualized or belittled. In 2009, he was like romantically involved with somebody who worked for him and he tried to pay her off with $16,000, which is weirdly exactly a tenth of what the president paid Stormy Daniels.

But she didn't cash the check because, you know, fuck him. There was this one instance in 2012 where there was a young woman who worked at like a bookstore that he was involved with. And he wrote a dirty limerick about her. How appropriately Garrison Keillor-y. I know. It's just very Garrison Keillor. He's like, oh, what a gift. And there was also a case where he had a writing student.

He had used one of her pieces in Prairie Home Companion and paid her. And she was really excited and felt like this was her writing career about to take off and had asked for an internship and he agreed to give her an internship but said he would have to suppress his intense attraction to her and you know that totally deflated all the attention he had paid to her writing before and she you know felt like shit so it's overall he was just kind of a creepy dude who managed to insinuate his sexual urges into different encounters with young women who were not interested in and the fucking limerick is that's disgusting leak the limerick i It's out. It's out? Yeah.

A beauty who goes to Macalester. So it's very clear who he's talking about because it's a young woman who worked at the store who went to the College of Macalester. He said, a beauty who goes to Macalester, oh, her face, her limbs, her ballast, her tiny blue kilt, and the way she is built could make a petrified phallister. Oh, he's talking about his own ghoulish dick. His own fossil cock. And especially how young the women are. A friend of mine recently was talking about how it's so easy for women to get discouraged and have this extreme imposter syndrome around their own abilities because of how guys like this treat them.

I'm sure that these women were good writers and capable. And then, but it's always with this asterisk of like, yeah, you're a good writer, but also you wouldn't be getting this opportunity if I didn't also think that you were hot. And I didn't need my boner injection. My fucking ghoul dick to be injected with a Harvey Weinstein like shot. It's just, it's, it's really frustrating, especially to hear like women that young are basically being gaslighted out of wanting to do something that they're good at.

Yeah. And having to second guess their own ability that follows you through your entire life. Yeah. And most creative people already have imposter syndrome bad enough. Yeah. Don't make my imposter syndrome worse. I'm a frequent podcast guest for crying.

And then we have David Copperfield, who there is an ex teen model who is accusing him of drugging her and sexually assaulting her. And then the next morning being like nothing happened. Yeah, I don't know. He's claiming it's a false accusation. There was allegedly an accusation against him that the FBI investigated and chose not to press charges on earlier in his career. And so in his statement, he just like talked about that the whole time. So I don't know. Interesting distraction. Right. Yeah. Talk about another time I've been accused of sexual assault.

But the FBI cleared me. Right. We took about another time I've been accused of sexual assault. But the FBI cleared me. Right. And don't connect the dots because, you know, maybe they were all in the front row of one of my shows. Right. But anyway. There, honestly, there's, God, one of the worst types of people in the entire world is a magician, particularly a male magician. I'm well acquainted with the magicians. I've got a long romantic history with magicians.

And they've got a, male magicians i've got a long romantic history with magicians and they've got a male magician should be abolished they should be about female magicians can stay there's only a couple of them let them take over the magic castle we're throwing all the male magicians out the window at the magic castle they gotta go what's the personality type of a male magician like what's their deal well just the sheer like the sheer... The male magician's thing is he thinks he transcends Earth. He's like, I've got to prove I'm so fucking cool. I can defy God.

Right. It's very much like a playing God thing. And also, it's just like the aesthetic of it is dumb. They look like shit. Coming for these illusions. The aesthetic is super whack. Okay, but but how about this how do you feel about illusionists some mind freak shit uh is i don't even at this point in mangazi i don't know if

chris angel has been implicated in anything probably uh but wasn't he like horribly fucked up to holly madison wasn't he dating that playmate he was yes he was fucked up to her and she was like nah this dude is a fucking freak, mind fuck. Yeah, they're all mind freaks, but in a bad way. Other question is, when this investigation happened with David Copperfield, was George Herbert Walker Bush president? Because as we all know, that is his favorite magician. Oh, really? That's true.

That's the joke that old George Bush would tell when he squeezed women's butts when he'd be like, you know who my favorite magician is? He would talk about magicians while squeezing butts? David Cop-a-feel. Hi, did you just check into the show? Yeah, we've been talking about this for a minute. Oh my. That was how he...

Shit is wild. I have to walk into traffic. That's the worst thing I've ever heard. Please don't do it on this street. Fun little bad jokes. God. All right. That's worse than a keeler limerick.

That is the exhausting Benghazi report. We have some more fun news to talk about in our next section, Boyd Watch. Boyd Watch. Yay, Boyd Watch. I love Boyd Watch. So kind of overall sampling of the stories people are talking about. Ben Affleck, not looking great. He might want to check out a meeting or two.

Is he sober January? Yeah. Doesn't look like him. You think he fell off a motorcycle or something? Oh, no. Does he look really bad? Yeah, he's kind of puffy. Megyn Kelly versus Hoda.

They're not getting along after at first getting along. Hold up. Wait. Brad and Jen, will they, won't they? Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston. At least now they're physically in the same room. Because before it was like they were both in this city at the same time. Yeah, so everything we've seen up to this point is like talking about how they went on trips like when they were together

but they make it seem like it's happening now because they know it'll get people to buy magazines but this time she dropped off a book at his house so children were there she wouldn't do that yeah for just any reason i mean and in the writing they're like she kept looking at one of of his biological sons and was like, oh my god, Brad, he looks just like you. He looks just like you. According to whoever the fuck was in there and told them the tabloids.

Also, this could be totally made up because they will just say... The bare bones is she came to drop a book off, the kids were there, the kids told Angelina that they met the Jennifer lady and Angelina was pissed. Heather? Man, I feel like we're all so desperate for good news.

I hope it's true. Yeah. Has America ever been this desperate for two people to start having sex with one another? I'm just happy that- I'm sure there is if we think about it. For like 10 straight years, there'd be like one bloid every week where the cover story would be like, is Jennifer every week where the cover story would be like is jennifer aniston happy like they're just like never has a woman's body language been like speculated so intensely

or it's like ones where her publicist probably didn't tell her but like can you write something about how she's thriving right now because then it's like jennifer babyless manless and thriving yeah kind of shit like she doesn't need anyone while she eats a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts. So many backhanded compliments. Like, probably too old to conceive, but totally chill. Leave her alone. Too old to conceive, but young enough to achieve those abs. Right. By the way, we talk about tabloids because the idea being that millions and millions

of people walk by them every day because they're still there when you're buying stuff at the grocery store. And all that stuff, all the things on the cover are being dumped into people's heads, whether they like it or not. But I wanted to talk about my favorite story this week from Star Magazine. Star, you get the star this week. The royal boot camp for Meghan. at the star this week, the Royal Boot Camp for Megan. So apparently the Royals are sharing some advice with her on how to behave royally. And the advice is amazing.

So these are the 10 Windsor commandments. What? Exactly. So here are some don'ts they gave her. Don't use a phone or other electronic device in public, not just for security reasons, but because it's vulgar. Oh, please do not flex on the gram. Yeah. Do not talk to a fan, what they call well-wisher, for more than two minutes in public. Do not speak unless spoken to and always let Harry answer first. Oof. Don't wear.

That's not the last. Right. Do not wear above the knee skirts, which, okay, that's somewhat to be expected. Okay. Nail polish or perfume? Get the fuck out of here. No perfume? Right.

She's like, just let your BO rip your bo rip girl like don't vulgar to nail polish is that like a can't you get any kind of manicure it's like it has to no it just has to be raw not even a not even a clear coat right yeah no just raw raw raw nails right what if she has like a calcium you know problem and her her nail beds be looking fucked up um and then this is my favorite don't ever cough in public or complain about having a cold your subjects should never see you down first of all stop with this subject shit you are people really like that's such a weird like sort sort of worldview that the royals have, if this is true, right? Right.

Of how they still think the general public views them. Right. Because we're out here being like, yeah, Megan, go do your thing, girl. Just fucking post all kinds of fucking pictures from Windsor Castle or wherever the fuck you are. Right. But now it's like, don't ever cough. Don't act like a human. Don't dress nice.

Do. Okay, what are the do's? Always look happy, obviously. Right. I mean, always look happy, obviously. I mean, that's just good advice. Do embrace commoners, but never more than one per engagement. You'll get dirty. Yeah.

They have typhoid. Exactly. It'll lessen the value of your clothes. Exactly. Yeah. Do show sympathy for those affected by tragedy. Wow, good advice. But without offering help. So you're not asked to provide personal financial aid.

Right. Because she doesn't have enough money. Right. Do have an aid check you for impurities, sweating, smudged makeup, acne, underarm stains, runs in the stockings every 20 minutes. God. That is. God damn.

That's actually kind of a dope, of being a royal is just having somebody watching you being like, yo, your hair looks weird. Your hair's fucked up, B. Excuse me, intern, pit check. Pit check. Pit check. And then finally, do gaze at Harry. Your job is to make him look good.

Oh my God. Gaze. Hi. What year are we in? I've never gazed at anyone in my entire life. Yeah. God. Do not speak unless spoken to.

Always look at your man so they don't think anything is wrong. Don't be touching the pores. Exactly. Don't offer people help because you know how it goes. You'd be like, oh, I feel bad. And next thing you know, you're cutting checks for everybody. Right. All right.

We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a proposal for you. Come up here and document my project. All you need to do is record everything like you always do.

One session, 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not. What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. 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. They're just dreams.

In 1982, Atari players had one thing on their minds, Sword Quest. This wasn't just a new game. Atari promised 150 grand in prizes to four finalists, but the prizes disappeared. And what started as a video game promotion became one of the most controversial moments in 80s pop culture. I just don't believe they exist.

I mean, my reaction, shock and awe. That sword was amazing. It was so beautiful. I'm Jamie Loftus. Join me this spring for The Legend of Sword Quest, a podcast about the fall of Atari and the disappearing Sword Quest prizes. We'll follow the quest for lost treasure across four decades. It's almost like a metaphor for the industry and Atari itself, in a way. Listen to The Legend of Sword Quest

In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation. KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas play. A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected to a strange arrest.

I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite. I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning. In a story about faith and football, the search for meaning away from the gridiron and the consequences for everyone involved. You mix homesteading with guns and church and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories that we liked. Voila! You got straight away. I felt like I was living in North Korea, but worse, if that's possible. Listen to Spiraled on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. 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. This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every Thursday. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right, we're back. And we want to just do a couple of like sort of a pop culture scattershot of just things that are happening this weekend.

We got the Grammys, which is, you know, a pretty diverse list of nominees. There's actually an interesting podcast called Still Processing. And Wesley Morris was talking on it about how he thinks that they specifically deleted Ed Sheeran from the categories of like best song and album of the year. So the Grammys apparently, and I didn't realize this, has a steering committee that can review the nominees before they go out and like delete and switch in people. And so he is thinking that because last year Adele won and like apologized and was like, no, Beyonce, you deserve to win. This is like sort of how they are superficially addressing it by just like not putting Ed Sheeran in Song of the Year. So basically like putting a bandaid over the problem of, you know, their lack of diversity in the recording. So let's rig it.

Right. So they get good optics. Although I'm always down to see ed sheeran get stiffed a little bit why don't you just do it and just suppress the vote be like yeah we can have them if you're going to go that far just be like well look if ed sheeran wins we're going to take the number two vote i also think wesley morris just really likes shape of you and wesley morris is a new york times film critic he's great but uh another uh report that's coming out about the grammys a usc study uh has found that uh more than 90 percent of recent grammy nominees are men uh which i guess

it's not that shocking but uh it did make me wonder why are the oscars like split up between men and women oh i'd never thought about that before. There's no gender split in the Grammys, is there? It's not like best woman artist. Which creates this situation. Right. Yeah. That is interesting. But the Oscars have always been like that.

Yeah. From the start. And it's weird because I know there was pushback sometimes, like, why are we still gendering the Oscars or whatever? Right. But when you look at the other side of the coin in a situation like this, there's clearly a problem. Yeah.

I mean, when you ask the every voter, who do you consider an artist? Right. Usually you get a list of way more men. Right. Yeah. That's interesting. I mean, I hope in the future that the award categories don't have to be gendered. the award categories don't have to be gendered but if for like the oscars and the golden globes etc right now if it forces people to have to view all artists for consideration then

yeah that's i'm actually a little bit surprised that it's that high right 90 that's that's insane especially when you think about like when i think about people who sweep the Grammys, I think Adele. Adele and Beyonce and Madonna. Because this is entering our era of being aware of the Grammys. I'm sure in previous years, like in the 70s and earlier, it skewed very male then. I don't know. I don't know. I just feel like, yeah, maybe our memory is only thinking from the 90s on. Well, but think of the 60s.

Yeah, I'm just thinking of the Supremes and I don't know. It seems like a fair balance of like men and women artists when you think back. But of course Grammys do not always nominate or give victories to the people who you actually remember. I mean but even if you think about it like – oh, I guess there was a best female country vocalist, but I guess best R&B performance in 1965 was James Brown. Best instrumental performance was Herb Alpert. Like, for classical, it was like a male conductor. So, I don't know.

The man with the golden voice, Nick Stumpf, our producer just told me in my ear, that probably has to do with, because there are a lot of technical awards being given out in the Grammys. So, that is definitely a huge boys club because i was also reading an article about like there isn't really much exposure for female producers either because that has been a very male dominated part of of music as well yeah there's one of my favorite

and i love bjork but one of my favorite pieces on bjork is she she's like spoken extensively about uh women who produce their own music and how you know hard it is to break through that barrier and yeah probably without having a label being like hey you should work with this these producers exactly like uh no I'm Saint Vincent and I can make my own shit right we wanted to give a quick review we watched together in the office the NBA's revealing of who was drafted to which All-Star team. So for people not familiar, the NBA this year for the All-Star teams, rather than just doing Eastern Conference versus Western Conference, created a system where the top vote getter in the East and the top vote getter in the West are the two captains. And they pick their teams

like it's playground style. Yeah. Which is a really cool idea. So I was excited to see how they were going to reveal this. And, you know, then presumably there would be an interview or, you know, something where they went through the decision making process. So it was on TNT yesterday and it was a fucking disaster really it was one of the worst it starts off yeah things i'd ever starts off so awkwardly and goosebumps by travis scott is

blasting right like ernie and all the guys they start talking you can barely hear them because the mix is just all favoring the music somehow it's all travis scott yeah and you're like wait is it starting like do they errantly go live? Then it's like so heavy-handed with the Nike branding, like the Jordan shit that they're like, all right, before, let's bow to our corporate apparel overlords, Nike, and show the new Jordan jerseys. Okay. Now talk about how cool the jerseys are.

Yeah, and it's a bunch of old dudes who are like, yeah, man, that's like – Charles Barkley looked confused. Out of sorts. Yeah. I'm just loving my visual of you guys watching it. Did you guys make popcorn? It happened at four, so we were working on today's show, and then we're like, oh, the All-Star announcement's going on, so we just hopped on the couch, and we were just like,

dude, what the fuck is going on with this whole thing? It's so strange. Yeah. I think a lot of it was just poor execution on technical stuff. Yeah. Shame on you, TNT. But then they to reveal the teams they just like put up a screen that was like okay lebron's team is these guys and just

like showed the people he had drafted and then they were like and steph's team is these guys and show the people he had drafted then they were like all right now we're going to interview them and they wouldn't answer questions about who they picked first. Yeah, they were really coy. Yeah, they were being really coy. They won't even do it. Right. Exactly.

That's so weird. It's funny because Steph Curry and LeBron were like, we should have televised it. It was really entertaining to watch us both go through our calculus of what would happen if this person picks a player I want. But it was just one of those things too when you hear like, oh, they're going to pick a playground style. You kind of want the drama of knowing like, oh, now how does this person pick? And there was just zero drama or, like, it could have been more sensational for unveiling the teams. Like, you could have done it player by player and just let that populate without tipping your hat to who was picked in what order. Right.

Like, maybe they should air, like, the top three picks of the starters, and then you don't see who are like picked in what order. So you don't see who got picked last out of the starters. And then you do the same thing and do like the first half of the reserves, just so you get like some flavor of like the decision-making process and see who goes first without like seeing who's the last person on the bench. Because you don't want making the all-star team to be like an embarrassing experience but you know you know that could probably have a good effect like depending on your psychology like that could also fire up that person to just somehow be like all-star game MVP who's like oh I'm picked last watch me go harder than I even do in the regular season

games that's actually a huge factor in the NBA like when you have people who get picked like Jordan was picked third and obviously that fueled his whole career but apparently that's true about kevin durant too he was picked second and was just like that has pissed him off his whole career essentially um oh oh so he's been carrying that with him yeah his whole time okay yeah i love when like famous athletes and just like anyone is still being petty about something from like 15 years ago. Just like, God.

Well, and also too, because Greg Oden was picked over Kevin Durant. Right. So, and where's Greg at now? I mean, poor guy. It was just like fell apart. Yeah. His body parts were not built for this world. It's a shame for it.

Was Ola Candy picked first too? He was. Yeah. See, some's a... Man, some of those guys you do feel bad for. I already feel bad for this year's first round pick.

I'm a 76ers fan, obviously. I can't really talk too much about it, but I do think that the pressure of being picked first sometimes gets to these guys mentally.

Yeah. This year's first round pick has forgot how to shoot. Well, hey, let's pray for them. Basketball and sports. Right. Your favorite.

My favorite, sporty basketball. All right, now for some hockey talk. Now for some Zamboni talk. And finally, hey, this is up your alley. Frozen. Disney. I mean, right? Hockey?

Ice? Oh, Zamboni. Where's the Zamboni in Frozen? Exactly. Thank you. Wow. Finally someone said it. Someone said it.

Are you being paid by Big Zamboni? I am fully funded by Big Zamboni. So our writer, J.F. Sargent, brought to our attention this conspiracy theory. Who? Fuck. Our writer, J.M. McNabb, brought to our attention this conspiracy theory. Fuck. Our writer, J.M. McNabb, brought to our attention this conspiracy theory from the internet

that we kind of like, where the reason that they titled the movie Frozen was because they were tired of the search Disney Frozen coming up with reports of Walt Disney being frozen and put under the Pirates of the Caribbean ride.

That was so funny. Because that was a thing I remember as a kid. You would always hear, you know, Walt Disney froze his head or he froze his body or something. Yeah, him and Babe Ruth. Right. Yeah, so I guess the idea that Disney's like, we got to end this. Because apparently, what was it supposed to be called originally? It wasn't called Frozen.

The title was changed. The Snow Princess or something? It was called the snow queen the snow queen right which would have been a very lame title even for a movie so super lame maybe that was a working title but yeah a simple change completely changed the dynamics of a google search because now you're disney frozen that's so funny it's like what how would you do that to cover up like the munchkin that they always say hanged himself in The Wizard of Oz? What movie is that? We got a great new movie come from MGM called Hanged Munchkin.

It's going to be a big hit. Wizard of Oz Suicide. What the fuck is this about? It's a buddy movie. It's a kid's movie. Two Zambonis fall in love. Two Zambonis fall in love. Two Zambonis Fall in Love. They witness a murder and then they're on the run.
