And, like, I'm not going to the bank at, like, 11 o'clock at night. Oh, wow. So what do you do? It fluctuates wildly. You put, like, a... Well, actually, for the even teeth, you only get 25 cents. But for every once in a while, the Tooth Fairy is really proud of you. And so on that one, you'll get like 10 bucks.

And this one actually covers the next couple teeth. So just be cool. Oh, wow. So you're talking about a dude who has debts with a bookie? You're like, that should give me good to like next week. I'll get some more to you. I'll get some more to you. But like the big is running on this, though.

Before we find out some more ways We're all going to hell I was thinking to myself I could really use some Taco Bell So I lit up a 5-1 And said, first let's get placed. Then I heard the voices from my phone. It was Jack and Miles Gray.

Hello, the internet, we got bad news for you. The United States, the United States is in a shitty place. Before it's too late and we die We're here to warn you It's election year It's election year You should hate it here Trump's mind is Tiffany twisted I'm just kidding.

Yeah and not to outshine The other guests that I'm on here with, but I know he just had PTSD from high school of me breaking up the guitar. Once again, I planned something, but he will outshine me. Josh, let me take this real quick. Yeah, Josh. Here we go. This is all you.

Please don't leave me. Never ever leave me. I'll get you Chick-fil-A. If you promise me you'll stay. Promise rings not fake gold. Waffle fries not a damn old.

That's what I got. That's from the viewpoint of someone who went to CPAC. Fantastic. Wow, man. I love that. There was some yardling in there. Yeah, I'm actually impressed. I didn't need a guitar. I didn't need a clutch. I i saw that i noticed that you just went straight voice yeah i'm not like a prop guy

i'm not a prop guy so you know but i know i respect like you know comedians like carrot top and stuff but yeah yeah for sure gallagher i think yeah really also apologies to whoever has to edit this episode and level all of that bullshit that I just did, because I have no idea. The WAV file, like the it looked OK, but I have no fucking idea whether any of that's going to be usable. Yeah. One eye on the on the lyrics and one eye on the WAV file. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

That's very considerate. I thought you were just confused. Anyway, how are what? So what are you were just confused. Anyway, so what? Are you both coming to us from North CAC? Yeah. That's right. I'm down at the beach, Josh's former hometown of Wilmington. Okay.

As always. And then Josh? I live in North Carolina. I've lived here for probably so long I'll just say I'm from here. But, you know, my heart is in Wilmington. Monkey Junction. Monkey Junction. Yeah. Yeah. That's where we grew up near Toteman Zoo, which is probably called something else. That's not as inappropriate now. Yeah. But yeah, I don't know. I moved away. Yeah. Yeah. Here we are. It's good to have you both. You know, we've had, you know, Will over here, Christy Yamaguchi, Gucci Mane, many times,

and obviously been a lifelong contributor to the show. So it was dope to have you both on, and you're both podcasting. It's just dope to kind of see how, you know, and then, like, you guys have been best friends since we said sixth grade. Yeah, sixth grade. Josh was one of my

groomsmen in my wedding and i was in his wedding as well so yeah we've been uh so like the the first time i remember josh was like i knew josh since sixth grade but the first time i you know you have those moments where your like brain comes online yeah and you're like that that's your first like truly true memory of something or someone is when uh josh got in a fight in the cafeteria and one of the counselors like superman tackled him and the other kid like mr mr talo was his name he was he was like a good like six three six four and he just comes out of like my periphery and tackles both of them i think it was over like throwing french fries at each other and uh yeah french fries with uh in the cafeteria

and i was like holy shit that dude is awesome he just got tackled by mr salo so yeah which is funny because it's funny that it took that long for will to remember me because we sat at the same table for like a whole year. Is that what you were doing? You were like getting into a fight to get him to notice you? Yes. I was playing guitar the whole time. Yeah.

It's been a long time to get on TV. Off in the corner singing softly with an acoustic guitar to like just a cloud of girls. Yeah. Yeah. We'll just, yeah, we'll go with that. We'll totally say that's my middle school and high school experience. Yeah, we'll go with that. We'll totally say that's my middle school and high school experience. That's a creepy geometry teacher who's like,

yeah, let me go get my guitar, man. Or the weird substitute. Or the youth pastor. Actually, I got a song about a guy named JC who was pretty alright. We had a substitute.

His name was Mr. Beverage and every time he started a class he would go, my initial spell tab is Mr. Beverage. Get the jokes out. We were like, okay. Then he's like, now let's crack this one open and get into Brain Park.

He did a unicycle. You got to. I think everyone knows a juggling unicyclist teacher at some point in their life but yeah Will author of many of the best AKAs of all time the voice of an angel as you heard I mean as you may

have just heard there is a chance that he actually was so close to the real song that it will get a takedown notice for the first time yeah from an aka but that'd be amazing and apparently uh the eagles are very litigious i just found out that they're in a lawsuit right now over some uh handwritten notes to uh hotel california i just learned about that yesterday they got some they got some skeletons they got some things to be litigious over. Let's just say that.

They got some. I can imagine. Yeah. You might not want to look into their history. And then Josh is in a band called Late Bloomer. It's dropping an album on Friday. This Friday. So just the musicality of this episode is.

Out of every pore. That's right. All right. We are going to get to know you guys a little bit better in a moment first we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things that we're talking about today in the news and we got a peek behind the curtain of uh libs of tiktok chaya rychik is i don't know is that how you pronounce it yeah we there's there's many ways to say it but this person doesn't deserve the respect of many things.

Right. Just a fucking monster. Not really. Their perspectives, their positions, not super well thought together. I pronounce it demon spawn. Demon spawn. That's interesting. Yeah. I guess there's a silent CH, but yeah, that's yeah, really bad. And, you know, now a lot of people are noticing her role in Oklahoma after the death of 16 year old non-binary student next Benedict. So we'll talk about that whole mess. We'll talk about the Willy Wonka experience that just Jack, Glasgow. They're just opening Glasgow. Yeah. That is, I think, a new low for, like, we've talked about these, like, weird little, like, pop-up museum things that happen around the world.

They're basically, like, Instagram-driven marketing traps, like the modern equivalent of tourist traps. Sometimes they're really fun. traps like the the modern equivalent of tourist traps sometimes they're really fun yeah this one is it's like really fun to look at from a farm so yeah it's uh like going back not to get too ahead of it but going back to yesterday's episode with uh how boring the ai dystopia is going to be apparently all of this shit was driven with ai so just one more example of just how like even tourist traps are going to suck more. Every aspect of life, even the ones that are already shitty,

are going to get so much worse. Although they made up some cool new words. There's some wild shit happening on the marketing material. Catgocating? Oh, Jack, that's the most exciting. Let's not reveal all of the garbled AI words that came out of the marketing materials.

Yeah. And we will be talking about Karchi tunes tons later on. But all of that, plenty more. But first, Will, Josh, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history that is revealing about who you are? Josh, you want to go first? Yeah. your search history that is revealing about who you are joshua go first yeah uh so i was looking at it and it was just a bunch of searches of like ui ux stuff because i'm in a course right now and then at the bottom of it it was that's my boy the movie with adam sandler so i felt like

that was like no every search i feel like has some Adam Sandler search in it. And that's truly me. Like, even if I have to like try and pass this course, there's always going to be some nod to the 2012 film. That's my boy starring Adam Sandler. Wait, that's where I'm at. Will you like write that into your paper? Be like, this can best be understood from the perspective of Adam Sandler's character. And that's my boy. Yeah.

Donnie. Exactly. Yeah. Of course. To give the listeners and you guys a fair warning, never take movie advice from Josh because he will watch literally everything and think most of it is good. He's got to be well-rounded.

I mean, that's, I think it's super important. Like there's different scales. Like I feel like a lot of times when people review a movie they're like is it as good as godfather and they're like i don't know why that's seemingly the scale but there's adam sandler movies and they're on a different scale is it good and on the adam sandler scale right so you got to put things on different scales well when people ever ask if people ever ask me this stuff like oh is

it as good as godfrey i'm like i've never seen it dude but like yeah this shit is fucking this is tight this movie's yeah yeah yeah hubie halloween is better than god oh yeah hubie we love that in this home yeah exactly you guys know that's not a bad metric to use actually like is the movie better than that's my boy and like it's it's like the old like is it bigger than a bread box when you're trying to guess the size of something is it better than that's my boy is it better than that's my boy yeah yeah has everybody seen that's my boy i haven't seen that's my boy i don't think i've seen it multiple times yeah i feel like i have i know

you like i feel like i watched like seven or eight Adam Sandler movies and that's like, I'm pretty good. Like I get it. Like I know he's going to do a voice in the movie. Yeah. Yeah. I know he's going to end in Y exactly. And that he's,

you know, there's going to be probably a love interest or something like that. He's going to do a, he's going to do a thing and that's good. Yeah. I'm good. You good for him. I'm glad he gets to take his friends to movies. Yeah movies yeah it's a it's a rated r wrong though that's where it's different

than your big daddies and stuff okay i did not i did and it has andy sandberg yeah isn't that was the one that was like andy sandberg meets adam sandler like the new adam sandler meets the old adam sandler and yeah uh hilarity ensues and vanilla ice Ice is his uncle, Andy Samberg's uncle, but himself. I've never... Oh, like Vanilla Ice as Vanilla Ice. Rob Van Winkle. I think the joke is he doesn't like

talking about Vanilla Ice. He likes... He's Rob Van Winkle. Vanilla Ice, for me, I've never really gotten into his acting work. I just appreciate his political guidance more than anything. If you're making a list if you're

making a list you have a letterbox please but uh cold as i and it's what is it i guess i don't know situation i just like kind of take their political cues i don't really like their act them as actors fair fair yeah yeah how about you will what's uh the most recent one that I thought exemplified who I am as a person is ancient chicken breeds. Ancient species of chickens. Because I recently found my most favorite Twitter, or not Twitter, but film complaint on Twitter that I have ever seen. Which is this. I'm going to read it. It's from at SchwarmierI i won i don't know how you say

that anyway my pet thank you supposed to pause i'm like yeah uh my pet peeve is non-period chickens running about in farm yards fairly frequently they will be modern hybrid layer types that did not exist before the 1970s. So I got like, I saw this and I quote tweeted, I was like, this is my favorite thing I've ever seen. Like there's, I am someone who has weird hangups about movies, but nothing on this level. Like this is a specific interest. That's incredible to me. And then I come to find out that a lot of the, like you, you see a movie that's I come to find out that a lot of the, like you, you see a movie that's set in the 1700s. A lot of the chickens that are in there

are very modern looking chickens. They are not what we think of when we think of like, you know, I don't know, in my mind, I guess like the classic chicken that you imagine would be like the oldest kind there is, you know what i mean cornflake box yeah exactly but in reality a lot of those wild looking like polish hens and stuff with like what you know looks like they have like haircuts and stuff and all this crazy you don't have to make a racial you know what i'm talking about come on they those are way older breeds and species of chicken than i had i thought those were like modern looking ones the fancy ones are like way older breeds and species of chicken than i had i thought those were like modern looking the fancy ones are like way older the old school so we like invented it's like how the american

accent is the old british accent like yeah exactly brogue is like how the british people speak and they just invented the old fashion sounding brit British accent because they were like, this shit sounds fancy as fuck. Exactly. Exactly. So there's, there's like obviously all sorts of anachronisms and period pieces, but I love it when someone who has a really hyper specific interest in a field

or an area tells you why it's anachronistic and they're very, you know, tiny little slice of expertise are there period accurate chickens that exist is there like yeah apparently uh there is a species called the dominique chicken i i'm assuming named after dominique wilkins uh polythene basketball player for the atlanta hawks yeah uh who is also in the 1700s. Exactly. He was also a classic in his own right. And so the Dominique chicken has this crazy black and white, tiny feather, like coloring.

You've probably seen one before, but apparently it's like the oldest American breed of chickens and they're still around. So they could use this, but it's not what anybody would imagine running around a barnyard. If you like watched him, you'd be like, those chickens don't look right there.

Right. Those chickens look like they're in 30 seconds to mars like 2000s they have like a little like fucking haircut you know it's like why why do those chickens have hipster haircuts and it's like that's how they were man from brooklyn yeah exactly yeah exactly and apparently like horses are the same way horses and sheep like a lot of like I found a lot of barnyard people or farm farmers and stuff like people that raise cattle, raise animals, get really annoyed by this because they're like that horse didn't exist at that time period or that sheep. So it's like horse soy face. Yes, exactly. Like the videos like you can't you can't have that face and be like in this i guess like the same thing with like people were like winona rider i feel like in the 90s we were like she doesn't look like she would be in the

1800s like people are like you know that face is seen in iphone so it's like that works for chickens and horses you couldn't put aaron paul in a movie from the 1700s no like he just did not exist michael douglas is my favorite example where they put him in that lion hunting movie and nobody wanted him like out here with just like soot on his face yeah yeah amazing yeah i mean i remember the the worst version of this was like james cameron got called out for like the stars being in the wrong position in titanic i think it was like by fucking neil degrasse tyson neil degrasse tyson and see and that's millions of dollars to correct it yes so uh neil degrasse tyson gave this whole thing a bad rap because he's kind of like he comes off like kind of douchey and he's you know like pop science

kind of kind of guy and i completely understand that however i reading all the replies and the quote tweets from me bringing this up posting this Twitter, people's hyper specific, like, you know, that country doesn't have ziggurats in it or whatever, like architectural thing or, or the type of saddle being used or, uh, the witch, I forget who directed it. Like they didn't have that type of candle because, you know, candles back then were made out of like whale fat or something, you know, just Right. Exactly. I love that weird hyper-specific stuff that makes me go down a rabbit hole. For Titanic,

the stars were in the right place. They were at the front of that boat. They were hanging on to each other. Hugging one another. Kings and queens of the world. Yes, exactly. Alright, let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll do some ratings. Some over and under ratings. We'll come back. We'll do some ratings, some over and under ratings.

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? 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. Listen to Dream Sequence 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. 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. I'm Dr. Laurie Santos, host of the Happiness Lab podcast. As the U.S. elections approach, it can feel like we're angrier and more divided than ever. But in a new, hopeful season of my podcast, I'll share what the science really shows. That we're surprisingly more united than most people think.

We all know something is wrong in our culture, in our politics, and that we need to do better and that we can do better. With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki. It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison. We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume. My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way

to disagree and still be in relationships with each other. All that on the Happiness Lab. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. And we're back. We're back. And Josh, you want to kick us off with a little bit about what you think something underrated? Underrated is, it actually ties into my overrated, but playing Zelda Tears of the Kingdom because you're unemployed.

Because. Yeah, because. It hits different. Yeah. When you're unemployed. It has helped and probably hurt my job search, uh, playing tears of the kingdom. Not like a game player guy, but I got laid off, uh, around the holidays and my in-laws gave me tears of the kingdom and I was, I don't have the time. Right. And I wait, wait, I do have the time.

Yeah. And so, yeah, I've, I've logged many, many hours on it. So I'd say that is my underrated. You should be playing Tears of the Kingdom if you aren't. You mentioned that it has both hurt and helped your job search. Have you met prospective employers while playing Tears of the Kingdom? How has it helped your job search? I brought it to a job interview and I was playing during the interview. I forgot to go to interview. I cannot figure out why I can't find a job.

I have no clue. I think it hurt because it's probably hours I could have spent. Oh, the hurt is clear. The hurt is clear. How's it helping? Oh, it's helped because it's helped my mental health. There you go. I have this.

Yeah, I have this to look forward to today. I have to finish this temple. I tell my wife, hey, I know you're in a meeting, but I really have to beat this boss. I already got a knuckle down right now. Yeah, just shh. I'm focusing. Daddy's focusing.

Can't you use headphones, Josh? No, I can't. It ruins the realism. They didn't have headphones back then. Yeah, in can't. I think you should use headphones. They didn't have headphones back then. Yeah, in Hyrule. So then what's your overrated? My overrated is being unemployed due to tech layoffs. It is fun enough when you start out.

You're like you're getting some money in when you get unemployment and things. But then that runs out because we live in North Carolina. I'm not sure how it works in California, but here in the South, we get like a certain period of times and then you're like done, you're cut off. You can't like reapply and you're just got to figure out. They actually come to your house and kick you in the nuts. Yeah. You can get, I think like somewhere around 20 something weeks in california

i think it's like 26 weeks or something yeah it's paltry yeah yeah the swift kick in the nuts yeah so so with that i mean with that it's led me into oh i need to figure out where i'm going to go in tech so that's where those ui ux classes come UI UX classes come in. You got to get things on your resume. I think. It's like catching Pokemon. You got to have these little things so that people will look at you and go, ooh. Something besides Tears of the Kingdom, you can also add

Pokemon to your resume. Yeah, I put that on a bunch and they said, please take that off. They're like, yeah, we're only looking for people who play Pal World. Sorry. That's my problem. Will, how about you? What's something you think is underrated? What's something you think is overrated? Underrated, I would say

normal human beings attempting to fight professional football players. Did you guys see the video of Cam Newton handling those three dudes, four dudes, however many there were? It was incredible. Disclaimer, disclaimer, don't actually do this, but you should absolutely attempt to fight former football players who are used to having 11 people trying to kill them, you know, being paid millions of dollars because they're good at preventing that from happening. because they're good at preventing that from happening. Yeah.

And it's underrated because I then get to watch the video of you getting your ass kicked by a football player. People do not understand how big these human beings are and how strong they are and how they're used to just like, again, like Cam Newton's one of the greatest runners of all time, not for a quarterback, but in general, just period,

just period. He's six four six four six five and 245 pounds and he just he handled those guys his hat didn't come off like his hat literally stayed on his head yeah what kind of hat it looks like he's wearing like a witch's hat or something yeah he he absolutely looks like uh like he's in wizard he's got that hipster flat brown yeah pilgrim hat with like his dreads coming out of the top yeah he he looks he looks like he's in wizard. He's got that hipster flat brown. Yeah, room hat with like his dreads coming out of the top Yeah, he looks looks like he's dick Tracy almost or like a dick Tracy villain But it's this specific brand of hat that he's been having made custom for him for a while now

It looks like the old guy from poltergeist to yeah, he does have like Quaker Oats guy Yeah, yeah a lot of people don't realize that's the same guy. I feel like kids forgot. Do you all remember the Mike Valeli fighting videos? He was a professional skateboarder. They were like in CKY and stuff. Kids need to watch those

and that's like probably like Cam Newton is going to fuck you up. It's like Mike Valeli can take on five people. He was like a Vilely can take on five people. He was like a big guy. But that's on the lower end of the spectrum as far as professional athletes go. You need to understand. Especially like a quarterback who then starts growing dreads.

That's because they've had some kind of evolution. Exactly. They're probably on top of the physical prowess. They're like mentally now on another plane too where they're like oh the three of you against me and the amazing thing is that cam didn't even like he didn't really get violent back with them he just used their momentum and did the quarterback thing of like i'm like it's it's like he went it's like he had a like a vietnam flashback and went into soldier mode and just didn't want to get sacked so he's like immediately it's like it's

like the pocket closed in on him by three guys who were also swinging on him yeah and he just he just moved them around like they were absolute rag yeah unnecessary roughness yeah yeah 15 yard penalty yeah uh it was it was super funny to watch. And I obviously don't want people going and trying professional athletes, but also I kind of do because then I get to watch the videos. Yeah, exactly. You get bonuses as a professional athlete. Yes, absolutely.

What's something you think is overrated, Will? I'll keep this one short. Not wishing things on your worst enemy. Not wishing. They're your worst enemy. You they're your worst enemy you should try it sometime it feels great you should wish all the worst things on your worst enemy so yeah it's pretty straightforward are we you think we're right now like america's just it's just chicken shit now we don't even worse wish the worst on our worst yeah it's like too nice to our worst

enemies yeah so what happened i'll say you know because so much of my, I guess, like, persona revolves around Twitter and shit. So I get scolded on there a lot. Like, there's been a few recent tweets where I've started fake rumors about awful people dying. And like Mitch McConnell and Ian Miles Chong recently, I started a whole like time quoted my tweet on their website and stuff. I said that the president or the premier of Malaysia executed him. And I just like popped. I just tweeted it and then went to sleep and then woke up and it had like 50,000 likes and had like millions and millions of views. And people were like, what the fuck? Did this really happen? And of course I get scolded by people who are like,

it's wrong when the right does it and it's wrong when the left does it. And I'm like, yeah, but I'm correct. I'm not a piece of shit. This quote came out of a Dale Earnhardt avatar account. Exactly, exactly. The only reason it got traction is because i used the

little red light alert emojis and put like breaking a ian miles strong executed signed by the premier of malaysia he was 34 years old or something like that and posted his picture hey man dale would know because he's up there exactly thank you thank you very much but yeah people so i i have fun online and people get mad about it. And I'm just saying, get off your high horse. Stop being high and mighty and like wish, you know, they're your worst enemy. You should wish bad things. And it's a wish.

Your wish doesn't matter. Exactly. Exactly. There's no magic in one game. I will say the M.I.L.E. was kind of annoying to me because I started my painting of dale earnhardt and ruth bader ginsburg welcoming him into heaven and a week later it was debunked yeah fake news yeah it was fake news well i'm glad to know that you're gonna have the same uh post like you know second career as uh you know

george w bush you're gonna start yeah you just going to get into Jack and Bush, both war criminals. Yeah. A lot of people don't know that about me. Yep. Little known fact. Little known fact. I'm glad. Do you guys like my flight suit?

My mission, mission accomplished. Don't ask. I love the banner behind you too. I had to ask. I said, don't ask them. Let them compliment you organically. If they have to, they'll do that. If they like it.

Sorry, I'm taking, I'm taking this pickup course for miles. He's got to teach me a lot of things about how to carry myself with self-confidence. Just let the outfit do the talking. Do you guys like my shirt? Ah, shit, man. Alright. Should we talk about libs of TikTok? Yeah, here's a daily zeitgeist.

Typical hard turn into dark shit. Yeah, so libs of tiktok yeah here's a daily zeitgeist uh typical hard turn into dark shit uh yeah so libs of tiktok um shia chaya ray chick right chick you know this account has seen massive growth over the years and like you know what started out as like a place for election denialism and covid misinformation and tales of child trafficking has turned now into like a full-blown LGBTQ plus hate machine and sending like, you know, the accounts followers on harassment campaigns against innocent people. And recently, RightChick, the accounts operator, was interviewed by Taylor Lorenz. And while at times there are moments that make you laugh at how stupid and ignorant and uninformed she is, her views are inspiring, you know, like real world violence, like bomb threats, death threats, doxing, you name it. And she has this pattern of directing followers towards LGBTQ plus teachers or school administrators, other figures like that.

And when things get too wild, she'll delete the post and act like nothing happened, even though she recently said that she wears the label of stochastic terrorist uh with pride and like in the interview it's clear that like reichick doesn't really give much thought to her beliefs in like a way that she can actually articulate herself probably a symptom of just being in your little bubble of hate speech and people like rah-rah-ing the shit on. So here's an excerpt where Taylor Lorenz is asking her just sort of like, what exactly is your issue with trans adults? What harm are they causing? And again, really unable to articulate anything resembling a thought. It's a lie.

And what harm is it causing, do you believe? I like the truth. I like truth. Right, but I'm saying what's the harm of people expressing their gender identity differently than you believe it to be? What harm are they causing? Like I said, we are a nation of truth, and I seek the truth. But I'm asking about the harm. What's the harm? You might believe it to be false, but what's the harm?

The harm is that there's a lie that is very mainstream and is being embedded into every institution. I guess I'm wondering what the material harm is. Aside from it's maybe something that you disagree with, as in your version of the truth is different than their version of the truth. What is the material harm of them living their life as a woman or man or gender that you don't agree with? Not anything that's wrong

is there a material harm necessarily. So there's no harm. Not everything that's wrong is a material harm. Eh? Not everything that's wrong is a material harm. And then there was this other clip too that kind of summed up just how like all over the place this interview was.

This is like another section of the interview where Taylororenz is asking a question and then gets interrupted oh this is my favorite part i think it's good i'm curious kind of how you're thinking you know when you think about your the way that you put out content and the way that you think about growing your media empire here this is the upload job This is a blowjob. I don't know what. I don't know what. I don't know what. What are you showing me this for?

And yeah, like I said, like the interview, it's not anything where you're like, wow, this is one of these, like this person has really interesting. Here, this is a blowjob. I'll show you this. It's like two middle schoolers. I found it on the internet. Exactly. I found it on the internet. Exactly. I found it on the internet. What do you want me not to show it to you?

So now what? It's a blowjob. Do you deny, sir? Right. I don't. I'm sorry. How is this relevant to what I was asking about, about the real world harm that your account is causing in your actions? And, you know, this thing has taken evolution. Like rather now it's just beyond like just sort of this right wing, you know, account

where people are just, you know, get to all the, the people can fill their tanks filled with hate by ingesting her content. She now has, you know, she found a fan in this guy, Michael Walters, who's the Republican school attendant school superintendent of Oklahoma and gave her a spot on the Oklahoma library media advisory, where she can sort of continue her campaign to get wokeness out of schools. It should be also noted, Rajik has only been to Oklahoma once in her life. She doesn't live there.

She lives between California and Florida. But her posts on her Lives of TikTok account did lead to a school receiving a bomb threat in Tulsa. Oh, so she's basically a resident. Yeah. And once you've almost gotten a school blown up in a state, you basically live there. You can, that's how you register to vote. Exactly. That's how that works.

And so now a lot of people are noticing her role in Oklahoma, especially after this death of a 16-year-old non-binary student, Nex Benedict. So this student was violently attacked in a school bathroom in suburban tulsa and and passed away the following day police say they don't think that they died as a result of physical trauma but next's friend who was also attacked that day said that next had indeed suffered head trauma during the incident so it's like a very murky but fucked up incident and like the timing of when the when next's parents were informed is just like it's just complete a total

fuck up at every level and a lot of ray chick right chicks allies are saying well but she has nothing to do with this like i was like why are you saying that she has blood on her hand um these kinds of extreme political views absolutely have real world effects on kids. So like next Benedict's mother, just as an example, said that the bullying began at in high school, right after Oklahoma governor Kevin Stitt signed a bill into law that forbids trans and gender expansive kids from accessing restrooms consistent with their gender identity. So it's not hard to imagine how the hate that was inspired by Rachik's past posts would translate to danger for these marginalized kids. And like, especially when

you look at the fact that two years ago, there, a lot of people were pointing to the fact that the Libs of TikTok account went after a teacher in the exact same, in the very school district that Next Benedict was part of for saying that, oh, like this person is like a groomer or whatever, because they support LGBTQ plus students. And according to next Benedict's mother, this was like a teacher that they looked up to a lot. And then two years later, this tragedy befalls their family. So a lot of people like, this is just like, like what the fuck is going on? And you're inviting this person to be part of the school administrative body or at least the overarching or overseeing body of the school district and again you look at like there's a recent uh report that found like only a quarter of trans youth who were

victimized at school were able to report this to a teacher or staff member and of those who did half reported that staff helped only a little or not at all. So like the current backdrop of these hostile bills that like target these students only makes this kind of behavior acceptable to their peers, like in this very indirect or direct way. And yeah, I mean, like we're also just looking at a whole just a total failure on the part of schools and administrators to actually protect kids so yeah i mean this is like i i don't right now there's a lot of people there's a lot more pressure for ray chick to be like ousted from this school body but as i mean it seems like there's enough support within the people that make those decisions to keep her there at the moment but yeah it's like but it's just also alarming when you have these kinds of people like like you know running this libs of tiktok account and they they truly

have no idea of like what their like what their actions are doing how they reverberate in space they're just kind of like yeah i get clicks like this and it's fun and i don't know they call me stochastic terrorist i think it makes me important. I think that's fucking tough as hell, dog. Right. But yeah. And then meanwhile, just attacking the most vulnerable people in a society like children struggling with gender identity and just and then attacking the people who might support them and make them like slightly less vulnerable it's just like going down the list of like the the easiest like people to fucking bully and harm in a society and like making that your mission yeah like we've said this in the past like a lot of this is to do with you know trying to make mainstream the shame of not being like a cishet person because from their perspective the world has become too inclusive so the way to push back against that is to try and revive like this the the culture of shaming people to do that and yeah so unfortunately it's like going after

people who support these very like vulnerable kids still there like it's not it doesn't need to be revived that much like there's still right fucking hell of a shame culture for these people to deal with they're already you know the most vulnerable to this sort of shaming culture and then they're just piling on they're yeah it didn't it didn't go anywhere that's for sure uh yeah they're just like adding fuel to the fire. They're dumping, you know, gasoline on it. Yeah. Yeah. This, this, uh, Rachel is, is, uh, watching that interview. I didn't watch the entire thing. I could not take it. I could not, I could not, uh, watch how just for lack of a better term, stupid she comes across because she, you know, not that I expected her to have some like well thought out reasoning behind

her, her hate campaign. She doesn't know what she believes exactly. She's never given it thought because she's never been pressed to explain it. She's only ever, you know, she only sees the things that she wants to see online. She is an online person,

like definitively that is exclusively. And the moment she has to defend herself in real life to any kind of scrutiny, not the thing about the interview. There was not a single tough question in it. No, nothing, nothing tough was asked of her whatsoever. It's just straight up like,

Hey, you grew up in this community, right? Yep. So you've never met. You don't know that you've met an LGBTQ plus person. Nope. Just online. And have you met them online? Have you interacted with them online?

Nope. Just seen videos about them. But she had the Nickelback portrait thing. Like, this is a blowjob. Yeah. So there's that it was it was absolutely incredible and also for the listeners if you haven't seen it her fit that she is wearing during this interview i put a picture of it in the chat i don't i don't know if y'all can see it she's wearing like the most Christian homeschool mom denim jean skirt and a picture of Taylor Lorenz on her on her T-shirt. Like that is the loser.

Yeah. Like and then she sounds as like if you wear that outfit to an interview and then sound as stupid as you do. Right. As she does. Yeah. You've you've lost on all fronts on all there's no coming back from that now having said that i know her fans are gonna still support her no matter what she says no matter how stupid she is oh they were gassed up from that outfit they're like oh that t-shirt's

perfect yeah yeah you have to you have to come strong i still i still feel like like ideally in my mind her ardent supporters were just like typing that out but then like you know with the with the crying behind the mask yeah it's like there is something undeniable about that interview of like oh this is this is the leader of our little stochastic terrorism this is your team she sounds this stupid it is weird when you see people that can't support their own argument. Because it feels like if I don't agree with someone and it's like the horrible thing, I'm like, well, if you have a thought out. So, you know, like some libertarians, you're like, oh, I guess if you believe what you think.

But it's like she truly doesn't. It takes like 20 minutes of conversation to get to the bullshit with them. You're like, oh so i you're like picking up momentum i see how you made this mistake and then it's like but yeah but with her it was just straight up it's hard to look at that fit because i was raised pentecostal and that's like how all of yeah uh all of us dressed you know and it's but it's weird it's like but it's like if my church was in brooklyn kind of it's weird. It's like but it's like if my church was in Brooklyn kind of It's got this kind of thing where it's like a slick back

Like you shouldn't be if you have those views on top of anything you shouldn't be allowed to dress halfway hip Yeah, like that shit. You should you should I don't know what you should be dressed in But it shouldn't be something that sort of it's, it's like the hip version of like the movie Mimic. You know, they're like, I think that's a human being over there wearing that, that fit. But it's really just like a cockroach with its hands on its face. Yeah. I think she did a good job of basically distilling the, like this, this mentality of hatred down to its essence which in the end is stupid you know what i mean you can't actually say what are the damages that like a more articulate sort

of homophobic transphobic person might be able to be like well then this could happen to our kids but really at the end of the day is and not there's not really not none i don't know none really and it gives yeah it gives the game away of like their ultimate goal is to get rid of trans people altogether. Yeah. You know, it's like, well, what harm are they causing? Well, ultimately, I'm going to sit here and sound stupid, but that's because I don't want to say out loud. They're not causing any harm. We just want to get rid of them because we're just throwing them around.

Exactly. any harm we just want to get rid of them because we're just throwing them around yeah exactly that's that's ultimately if she had just skipped all of the hemming and hawing and just said that yeah like it's almost more of a noble response than than like you know sounding like a complete yeah you think the owning the libs thing would have a platform by now it doesn't but it's like it feels like it eventually you would fill in the bullet points. But the only purpose is to essentially like wreak havoc. But they don't have any actual platform that they stand on. It's liberal tears. That's their platform. That's the reactionary thing is just like, I don't know why I'm so angry, but I'm angry.

And as long as it upsets my, you know, left leaning ideological opponents, that's all I give a shit about. Yeah. I mean, one thing we can learn, right-wing hate-mongering fascists are getting better at wearing ironic T-shirts, and the left is terrified. I am scared. Yes.

I'm scared. So it's too close. Yeah. All right. Let's take a quick break, and we're going to come back and talk about the coolest museum coming to an empty, closed-down Kroger near you. 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. Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller from Blumhouse Television, iHeartRadio, and Realm. Listen to Dream Sequence 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. 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. 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.

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

and that we need to do better and that we can do better. With the help of Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki. It's really tragic. If cynicism were a pill, it'd be a poison. We'll see that our fellow humans, even those we disagree with, are more generous than we assume. My assumption, my feeling, my hunch is that a lot of us are actually looking for a way to disagree and still be in relationships with each other. All that on the Happiness Lab. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts. And we're back. And have you guys been to these sorts of like Instagram moment museum pop-up experiences?

They got those in Wilmington. They may have come through here, but as my kids are a little older older now so i feel like the target demographic is not in my wheelhouse anymore uh we've had we have a convention center downtown and there's been like you know come walk with the dinosaurs but those are actually like animatronic type yeah yeah walk with the dinosaurs is in this in these same spaces exactly exactly not all are created equal but i uh i have not had the good fortune of experiencing something as magical as willy wonka's chocolate factory or legally you can't yeah yeah i mean this thing was i feel this is there's so many red flags for this event right first one it's called willy's chocolate experience hold on wait is that you will

yes this was this was my brainchild actually it says funk band yeah hey everybody my whole backing band is from dc very scatological yeah um and so people saw these advertisements on the internet that promised an enchanted garden with sculptures, immersive experiences like a twilight tunnel, whimsical performances from Oompa Loompas. And when you looked at the art, I mean, we've talked a lot about AI shit on here. You're like, oh, this is some mid journey as these are mid journey renderings here. Just nothing absolutely real about them. There's no real world lighting happening inside this image right absolutely not like things are glowing at random inexplicably yeah uh and then

you look at there's this one image that i feel is particularly damning that i feel like i don't want to say shame on the people that bought these 45 tickets are about 35 pounds sterling uh but there's one image right that's so it's such a weird shitty ai thing of an off brown off brand i guess willy wonka but the text underneath right like when you look at mid journey or like these other ai generated images text is always fucked up like they can't get signs right unless you're like explicitly telling you to do certain things like the text is always wacky and which is a telltale sign. And underneath it says, like you said, Jack,

catgucating, live performances, cart cheat tons, exarcerdre lollipops, a passadice of sweet teats. A passadice of sweet teats is... That one

had me back on board. And they close with that. They close strong with a passadice of sweet teats. A Pasadice of Sweet Teats is... That one had me back on board. And they close with that. They close strong with a Pasadice of Sweet Teats. It's... I assumed cat-gick-cating. Because cat-gick-cating doesn't... I can tell what they're trying to say with car-chee-tons. You know?

But cat-gick-cating and exarcer-dry are two words that i don't i can't like my brain hits those and just like bounces off yeah it doesn't know what they're trying to say so i looked them up assuming there might be some wonka slang and the this story is the only place that combination of letters has shown up anywhere on the well done why well done yeah well done making up the only place that combination of letters has shown up anywhere on the entire wide internet yeah well done making up the words like that's like me and like my high school essays i'm like i don't know this might be a word dude it sounds like syllables i've heard but yeah like i said tickets were around 45 and what these parents showed up to they were not fucking happy it's jank city this is a clip from local news um where you'll just

hear a little bit of an angry parent and then you'll hear a quote from a guy who was hired to be like a wonka performer at the event nothing oh my god it's it's fucking grim start my heart sank it was it wasn't even like fear I just felt sad because I was aware of how many kids were going to be coming through and like just looking around the place and just being like this is

terrible we were told to hand the kids a couple of jelly beans and a quarter cup of lemonade at the end I went up to the the people running as well and i'd asked about like i was like what do you want me to do with this script because none of the things like the special effects like that none of that's there what do you want me to do and i was just told do whatever i want

i hadn't seen that video until now that's uh because like the the most of the pictures i'd seen are like they do have a rainbow sculpture that's like oh i see this this would have fit into like a thing like this but it's just in like an empty warehouse that looks like a place that like junkies have been hanging out but then you go like the video that we just watched they're like showing a corner where there's like a futon and three bean bags bean bag chairs yeah and like it really like it's like oh this is a place that junkies have been like dude there was just a box like a weird like you know if you buy like a flat of like cans or something at costco like it has like that cardboard base there was like

cardboard yeah like a cardboard base with just fucking spoons in it again like on the ground this is what happens so what they didn't put in the brochure is that this is what happened to wonka's factory after most of the chocolate making was shipped overseas. This is what ended up to the interior. It's like, you know, eventually it falls into disrepair and, you know, you have people doing drugs in the corner of your abandoned building. You guys happy now? You made me stop with the Oompa Loompa slave labor. So I had to ship the jobs overseas to keep it up on board. Look what you made me stop with the oompa loompa slave labor. So I had to ship the jobs overseas to keep it up.

Look what you made me do. Yeah. Big import and export in the colonial slave trade and trade was sugar, chocolate and opium. And I think this is tying it all together. like it's it's great commentary on modern economies and what has been wrought by private equity and uh you know just corporate uh you know control run amok of of our laws and stuff so yeah i think it's genius i really do i really appreciate all of this it's you know it's the audacity right to put up these ai like to make make it seem like they're going to be walking on light up lollipops and a fucking fountain of chocolate flowing everywhere you get in there it smells like dried piss there's a bounce castle like off in the corner tiny bounce there's a quarter cup of lemonade quarter cup

lemonade they just printed shitty ai stuff on like a fabric and just nailed it to a wall i don't know that could be like a backdrop i guess for it to a wall. I don't know. That could be like a backdrop, I guess, or somebody to take a picture for the gram, literally like sheets, like just like, you know, you would buy a target like for like generic,

like, Oh, these are like an Instagram ad of like, get your photo printed on a blanket for your loved one. Yeah, exactly. Don't you feel like you would like not fall for it though? Like, I feel like if I saw the sign,

I'd be like, no scam. Like, it's like when you're a kid and your parents brought you back, like Aladdin, you feel like you would like not fall for it though? Like, I feel like if I saw the sign, I'd be like, no scam. Like, it's like when you're a kid and your parents brought you back, like Aladdin, you're like, this is Aladdin. You're like, oh, this isn't right. Like, this is good times, Aladdin. Like, you know, it's like the, the, the ones that you're like, even as a little kid, you knew that it was too soon to the release date for you to have the videotape of Aladdin.

You're like, something is fucked up. And you're like, this can't be right. This VHS case is not as soft as the other Disney movies. This is bullshit, mom. What is this? This is also, this is called Aldine. This is Jason Aldine songs or something like that, but done in a really problematic

way. The second A in Aladdin is a capital I. That's how they get around it right right right and it's not it's not ripping off there's like degrees to this like i when i went to japan there's a thing called like team borderless and it was like an amazing like light experience there's like nets above the ground and all this stuff like that and then like a couple years later we went to this thing called meow wolf and denver and it's like i it was great but i was like i kind of wish i didn't go to team borderless first because it's sort of like you can't you can't live up to like yeah uh actually mind-blowing like team something like team borderless is oh yeah and this is like i mean

meow wolf is great still but then you have wily Wunkas, you know, thing. And it's like, it's just like tears below. And it's sort of like my brain still couldn't process Meow Wolf in the way that Team Borderless was. So I'm like, I'm not falling for the Ompie Lompies. This is the thing. Like the organizers of the event was called House of Illuminati. Yes. And I'm like, yo, red flag on the play already. House of Illuminati. Yes. And I'm like, yo, red flag on the play already.

House of Illuminati. Okay, we'll go on. And they were immediately called out because apparently, like, someone said it took a grand total of 90 seconds to walk through the entire thing. That's incredible. And, like, again, I love this from just a pure chaos. The audacity, yeah. I would be so mad. I would have gotten in a fight if I bought those tickets and then walked in there like i would have fought one of the

oompa loompas or somebody like out of out of sheer anger of like promising my kid this experience and then spending that much goddamn money on tickets however because i didn't yeah this is funny as hell oh this is great so this is so hilarious the team our house of illuminati said quote unfortunately last minute we were let down in many areas of our event and tried our best to continue on and push through and now realize we probably should have canceled first thing this morning instead yeah what do you mean continue on like as if this is like a valiant effort to be like, you know,

despite that, what we were up against, we still had my ex girlfriend. Who's trying to kick, you know, opioids, dresses and Oompa Loompa and stand in front of a chemistry kit. Like what?

That one. Yeah. That's the picture that really, because they, I think they have a smoke machine in the background. She, I don't know she might be so bummed out yeah she is she is dealing with some shit like this oompa loompa is going through it right now she just got an eviction notice she like she broke up with her

boyfriend she is uh hungover like all of those expressions are on this poor girl's face dressed up as an oompa loompa behind this desk and it is it's truly one of my favorite pictures i have ever seen just with with the backstory to all of this it is fucking incredible it's amazing bummed out yeah i love that their statement was phrased in a way that it was like all of their plan hinged on their friend eric's truck yeah he had like what was their plan yeah like that 90 of the things were going to arrive that morning that they were opening they're like eric's like i slept late man eric fucked fucked us.

We have a Facebook fan page and a website, DailyZeitgeist.com, where we post our episodes and our footnotes, where we link off to the information that we talked about in today's episode, as well as a song that we think you might enjoy. Miles, what song do you think you might enjoy? that we think you might enjoy. Miles, what song do you think you might enjoy? This is a group called Ironsides,

and they're like this Bay Area band that's doing psychedelic soul, but with orchestral arrangements, so it feels like some of the scoring work of Isaac Hayes, David Axelrod, these artists who kind of gave us a lot of the samples that a lot of sample-based based hip hop is based off of. And this track is called Changing Light. And this is a really dope track because I just like when people love a genre so much, like they faithfully recreate it now and add a little bit of modern flavor to it.

So, yeah, this is Ironsides with the track Changing Light. All right. We will link off to that in the footnotes. The Daily Zeitgeist is a production of iHeartRadio.
