Hello, the internet internet and welcome to this episode of zeit der by chugi uh that's courtesy of juju zeit der zeit der uh i'll say this on

every time his name's brought up la radio destroyed his career and i'll leave it there djs in the city refused to play his music after an incident and a lot of la people were like yeah that's why chingy's career ended because we stopped fucking with him in this major market what was the incident it was like some beef over like how a radio show went down it's like very internal radio inside people i would yeah rap radio people in la like talk about chingy man his career died because the la radio stuff i'm like okay cool that's the body they claim uh well speaking of cool bill maher has uh covid so that's cool what did he say like his streak ended or some shit like no one gave a shit yeah i didn't care oh was he like claiming he had like the lou gehrig cal ripken jr

bro no cal ripken also is Islamophobic as Bill Moore? That's a great question. Curious. They did it with the same vigor. I think we could probably assume that Lou Gehrig was, although I think we might be at peak Islamophobia, whereas like Lou Gehrig era was probably more anti-Semitism. Yeah, and like Asians and black people.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, the old ways, which are still the ways of this nation. The other thing is the founding fathers talk about... They would be canceled. I'll say that right now. I'm going to go out on a limb.

They would get canceled if we heard them talk right now. But they talk about musclemen, as they called uh people of the muslim faith and they were very approving so oh well look yeah hey clock and all that uh bill maher though was he partying probably i i'm shocked if he ever stopped like you yeah because what you're not vaccinated and you're still doing that like cocky thing where you don't like to be confronted with your mortality.

You're like, I don't need it. Right. I've been here this whole time. Yeah. Now I'm going to go to some underground party. It's wild because he's supposed to be like the nicest guy behind the scenes. HBO, come on, look us up. Search us out.

Put us in for Bill maher for real wouldn't it be good if like one person who seemed like a total asshole there's probably an example of that but like uh reverse alan like somebody who who's whole oh and they're like they're actually so oh you know who it is is um the king of sting uh anthony jessalick jesselnick yeah oh that's right i remember yeah he's like the sweetest guy in the world man i was like sweet so it's just a act yeah yeah he's just a good writer representative matt gets matt gates the big the big man is uh you know bad news for him because his homie flipped on him uh i on the one hand yeah this seems bad for him on the other hand anytime we're talking about people flipping for uh investigation i have flashbacks to the muller investigation and i'm just not

going to count anything before it's hatched, let alone chickens, for God's sake. No, boy. You know? Yeah, this dude, I mean, Joel Greenberg, we talked about the weird shitty dude, like launching weird crypto schemes when he was the Seminole County tax collector and obviously trafficking minors and all this other stuff.

So at first, it seemed like he was going to fight the case. Now he's pleading guilty and, quote, agrees to cooperate fully with the United States in the investigation and prosecution of other persons. So we'll see. I mean, yeah, he might come with it like, you know, Paul Manafort. Matt Gaetz's pronouns is other persons. Right. We'll see what happens.

I mean, because there's so many other people they say caught up in this it's not just matt gates so we'll see um yeah i'm too good thinking good thing he didn't get that weird pardon back at the end of last year that he was gonna i was like i need a preemptive one here i'll write everything down that may have happened representative Representative Ocasio-Cortez is trending because Marjorie Taylor Greene accosted her. It was described by one of the reporters on the scene saying, I've never seen a lawmaker, an elected official, or really anyone in a professional setting behave in such a manner about how Marjorie Taylor Greene went after her. professional setting behave in such a manner about how marjorie taylor green went after her after they were leaving the floor marjorie taylor green was behind her shouting hey alexandria alexandria and alexandria ocasio-cortez was like kept walking so she sprinted up next to her and started shouting at her why do you support uh black lives matter why do you support

yeah and calling them terrorists uh aoc just kind of ignored it and when was that when she was asked about it said she used to have to throw people like that out of bars but it really seems like we're not too far from you know an incident that is worse than where we've been with marjorie taylor green like she seems unhinged for sure she's just she's aggro with her fake ass weightlifting gym shit that looks like somebody you don't want to invite to any event off the strength of that video i didn't even see that video what's her she was doing the wild pull-ups and shit remember when they edited in farts and stuff because it was just so ridiculous like her form was so all over the place like it was just like violent limb thrashing that she was calling exercise but yeah it that kind of aggressive energy i mean that's what's really scary she was showing that shit before she was

in office like she pulled up to her office before she was even in congress and where does that go and what is you know what is that signaling to the supporters uh of like you know how they're perceiving aoc it's very yeah so so yeah like you said a year ago uh before she was even in congress uh her and her friends basically did a january 6th insurrection but on their own and like stormed stormed the capitol found her office and were like shouting uh at her from outside uh pounding on her door uh shouting at her to come out in the hallway through her mail slot which like but like that should get you arrested what the fuck that's what i mean which is so funny because these motherfuckers the second they're like let's just think about all the the snowflakery that has occurred you know what i

mean they don't they don't even like if people are outside their house not banging on the door just physically showing up to be like hi we're here yeah where we see you they're like oh my god it's written it's ridiculous we gotta call a national guard in these people are upset at me but you're you're pulling up to their office door and screaming through the thing it's that's what's so makes it so difficult or not difficult it's just like that's why again further reason why these people cannot like what they're not interested in any kind of discourse they're just they have their agenda that's how they go about it and there's no way you can talk this through because the second you begin talking and they that the that's not gonna happen it

completely fizzles out because they're just purely there to obstruct and just you know cape for de facto oppression or whatever but like the a event where the lives of congress people were threatened like that is those are her people and she's yeah so i mean someone's gonna get hurt there from the video yeah last year he was there january 6th yeah of course of course it's the same fucking energy it's wild man it's but somebody's gonna get hurt and then literally nothing will happen because they yeah the republican party is like kind of indistinguishable from like actual terrorists like and it's a death cult now it's yeah fully gone off i mean the only thing can, which is so interesting because the Democrats are just as a fault for this, for not really standing up to this. Actually saying everything out loud about what this party is and why it's absolutely

critical that we do not do business or try and figure out how they can help bring about equitable outcomes in this country. Well, we got to be bipartisan you know yeah exactly why while people die so all right this next one i'm not gonna lie to you i don't like this all right it's saying geriatric millennials i'm gonna do my best rush limbaugh here but yeah this is it's trending because of this medium article that says geriatric millennials which i love uh are people born between 80 and 85 hey we right here we right here but because us you know us geriatrics i feel i'm glad i'm part of this coveted group um you and i both very coveted it it is this thing where they're saying for this group of people they are balanced in their experience in the old analog

ways as well as the computer age like we've gone through enough where we lived in a world that was more analog and also came up that like we were the ones like charging into the myspace age and fucking you know napster all that other shit um but this is like this article goes on to say that geriatric millennials are best positioned to lead teams in this new hybrid workspace, actually, because of this. Because of this balance of understanding what is needed in an analog and digital world that it makes for better management.

And they say, for organizations that are divided across generational divides between baby boomers and Gen Z, it's beneficial to call on your geriatric millennials to help you translate the experiences of both digital adapters that means baby boomers uh who are the adapters and natives as terms of gen z digital natives so it not only makes for a better internal culture but a happier clientele one genu geriatric millennial and head of HR. It's like, Oh my God.

Okay. Come on now. Fucking cop. Yeah. Well, anyway, they'd say, look,

we get it. We get, we understand digital body language. This does sound like something that if I was like real desperate, I would write down on my resume, you know, like, uh,

you know, can communicate both with millennials and boomers uh right yeah and they say also it's positioned well to manage because while maybe a gen x or boomer may look at a younger millennial or older millennial and gen z person like who has opinions about the corp like an office they're like ah they're babies yeah they the thing i always hear is entitled yeah right they're like geriatric these kids are entitled it's like why because they stand up for themselves yeah what are you talking about because they didn't just eat shit and take it like it's different and that's the thing i think that's where geriatric

geriatric millennials understand what it means to grow up in a completely different reality and have a completely different outlook on what your life could be versus someone who did come up in the times of a healthy economy and were able to concentrate and accumulate wealth. So it's like I've been saying, man, it's hip to be choogy. It's hip to be choog. Choogy Lewis in the news. Exactly. Yeah, yeah. uh is hip by chug chuggy lewis in the news exactly yeah yeah so we're we're again this article written by geriatric millennial so i knew i was gonna i was about to ask yo this

this has big uh i am the most valuable uh and also the protagonist of the universe straight chug shit straight chug but yeah i just like that we got because i remember we've always especially with you jack we tried to figure out where you are right if you're a gen x or millennial or whatever and i think this feels right to say borderlands yeah yeah og chooks is what they should call us absolutely ch geez um chuko geez uh and finally uh there there's this i guess it's a poll that i'm i'm guessing this was not conducted by like an official scientific organization but the the question being asked is what animal could you beat in a fight? And this is in a fair one, unarmed.

Right. A 1v1 in the street. No jumping in. So, and they broke it out between women and men because that makes any... There's only two people. There's only two kinds of people on Earth. Right.

That makes any poll infinitely more clickable. It's like you'll never believe what women think about men's thoughts on uh they think they can fuck up a lion better than guys bros what do you think that is actually true and eight percent of women thought they could defeat a lion in a bare head bare hand fight uh only seven percent of guys um we got work to do fellas that's so everyone ever all the others you will be completely unsurprised to learn men like had a higher percentage of confidence right the biggest gap though in terms of confidence was fighting a goose 51 of women believe they can defeat a goose barehanded 71 of men think they can beat up a

goose barehanded right i don't geese are fucking aggressive yeah i mean i get that you're like well they don't have like teeth and shit like that and that's probably what you're thinking about but i don't know i'm not really i definitely wouldn't be like if i had to choose i wouldn't i don't know you fighting a geese could you fight oh yeah yeah yeah because they they it's just you can chase them yeah you can chase them they have too too big of an exposed uh weak spot you know like in their neck yeah yeah i bet you punch a goose in the neck and it lights the fuck out for them right and again which i would never do this is all hypothetical and again i'm not trying to get all pumped up on

animal because of this thing but we're really putting ourselves in a mindset a fair fight with the things utterly universally disrespected by the uh gender binary uh House cats and rats. Yeah. Men and women think it's not a problem. A cat, a rat, the snake, the cat, the rat, the dog. They're going to breed when you're living in the fog. You know what I mean? In the fog. The rat, I would be scared of.

I wouldn't want to... Goose is the only one that doesn't immediately... Goose doesn't scratch. Geese. That's the one. Goosey don't scratch. Goosey don't scratch. Goosey don't scratch.

But house cats do. That's why I'm like, I'm not really interested in a fight with a cat. Yeah. Because I'll pet my cat and they get overexcited and bite the fuck out of me or scratch the shit out of me and i'm like and i scream so and then they're putting all their uh parasites inside of you that then control your mind to like the smell of cat piss exactly man i can't get i can't i'm hooked on cat pee the other thing that's interesting like people who think they can

fight a primate like a chimpanzee, you've lost the fucking plot. And it's a lot. It's 22% of men think they could defeat a chimpanzee in a fight. Yeah. And this is, again, 8% of women, 9% of men think they can beat a gorilla. That's an L for both of these. What are y'all talking about? Have you seen, did you see when that show Wild Boys was out with Steve-ris ponnius on mtv where they would go out in nature and do dumb

shit i remember they were fucking around near these silverbacks and this gorilla came charging out of the bamboo at them and like with one brush of the arm knocked over like a clump of bamboo trees like just to get at them and i was like oh no no no no yeah no no you don't want this you don't want primate smoke kangaroo also underrated uh 17 of men think they could beat up a kangaroo you know why that video where the guy comes in and like the kangaroo because the kangaroo is uh drowning his dog right yeah i was like choking the dog it was a while yeah the dog kangaroos it's like hands around the neck and the guy's like what's up squares up it's just i mean it didn't win he didn't win the fight against the kangaroo but

if you ever find yourself in a fight with kangaroo uh watch out for the kick they got they got a nasty kick that's what i'm saying a lot of these people i think are confusing a cartoon version of these animals right with what they're up against like they're power they have powerful fucking legs like any of these things with powerful limbs is not worth a fight yeah you shouldn't do it they'll you'll just be holding your innards like a bowl of spaghetti after a fight with a kangaroo like that opening scene in private ryan be screaming out mother mother that yeah fucked me up a king cobra is an interesting like the there's a lot of these that are just i don't know like are we like chained together beat it style how is this fight going down right because a king cobra i feel like i could run away from it until it uh i think the operative thing is that you could beat in a fight that you think

you could be not let's say if we're in the octagon i would i would be i would have to rope a dope you know just every time it came at me like i would that that's one of the only like strengths that humans have is that we are good long distance runners we could like basically chase prey down over the period over a period of like days so like i'm trying to figure out how i would use that against a king cobra because there's what what do you mean you think you could beat up a king cobra and its reaction speed is way quicker than yours and it's as tall as you like what do you who would he's 23 this is an interesting one because eight percent of women again apologies for this very rigid binary but eight percent of women believe they could beat a king cobra 23

percent of men think they could oh yeah i got that, I got that shit, man. Get the fuck out of here. Is that a Mike Tyson's punch out thing? Because that one dude was like the cobra. And they're just like, they got confident. Yeah, that's not underrated. I think people are really underrating the fact that it's a venomous snake that's faster than you. Right. It's one thing, a goose, like, yeah, you could like, whatever. I'll let the goose fucking bite on me or some shit.

A cat bite on me, a dog chew on whatever. But if the king cobra gets its shit on you then it's i think maybe the most misguided are the ones down at the bottom like that there's eight percent of women and nine percent of men who think they could beat up an elephant with their bare hands like yeah we didn't even think about how stupid it's really that i would say roughly 80 of men don't know what the fuck they're talking about you know what i mean i don't know like the i don't know in your mind right let's even pretend let's put ourselves in the brain of some fucked up frat guy because it sounds like some shit i would have said when i was 20 be like all right you want me to fuck an elephant up this is what you do right you got to sneak up behind it and then what a choke it to strangle it like how the fuck but i'm picturing this finding

beat also you have to be in like a elephant sized octagon there has to be somebody in in the middle that says fight and then steps aside right and the elephant like is the elephant aware that it's fighting you oh right like is someone gassing the elephant up right this motherfucker took your mama's fucking right swatting flies away from its ass while you like try and punch it in the trunk because i think the second the elephant registers you are a threat it'll be like oh haven't you seen those videos when they go wild at the circus and shit they'll be like hi i'm gonna headbutt you to death like i'll just pin you to the fucking ground with my head until you die yeah so anyway all this to say respect animals yeah you don't want to fight any animals they could uh yeah they could all take you yeah

other than a goose uh also i know we said we were given our top uh albums today of what to push that to monday yeah sorry keep giving us still it's getting wild it's getting aggressive the arguments are kind of getting a little over the top between us right now so we're going to take a weekend to really think about this i mean you you're taking a weekend you said to listen to to the extreme by vanilla ice yeah like all the way through um and like really and go to the genius conversation yeah the genius page go song by song really trying to understand lyrically what rob van winkle is trying to say rock a mic like a vandal i mean come on to the extreme though but to the extreme i rock a mic like a vandal light up the stage and wax a chump like a candle um cool all right

respect animals like a candle because rob van winkle could beat a chimpanzee in a fair one for sure yeah do you think i only think i can beat up a goose because of uh the phrase silly goose oh shit i think that might be doing me in giving me false confidence i just honestly it's just like i just don't have respect for birds that's why i that's why i'm gonna be real and i'm sorry to katie golden and birds rights activists and stuff but i just don't like a big ass eagle like some credit like a hawk i know could kind of you know fuck me up out of nowhere like right talents but again you need to give me the rules like are we in a aviary and the eagle is just like sitting at the top

like right chilling and then waiting for me to fall asleep and then like pecking my eyes out can they use flight right of course of course i can use flight that is not an eagle if it's just a well then yeah because then isn't our flight like our ability to use tools right see we did this is we're overthinking this shit all that to say just leave these animals alone yeah just leave the animals alone you don't want to find a fucking darwin award or win a fucking darwin award fuck around find out all right that is gonna do it for us for this whole week we are back on monday with a whole ass episode of the show until then be kind to each other be kind to yourselves wear a mask still fuck what the cd said. Get a vaccine if you haven't already.

Tell somebody. Take somebody to get a vaccine. Convince somebody stupid in your life to get a vaccine if they're anti-vax. And don't do nothing about white supremacy. We'll talk to y'all on Monday. Have a good weekend. Bye. Bye.
