Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes, and I'm so excited about my new podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to convince my high school to change their racist mascot, the Rebels,

into something everyone in the South loves, the biscuits. I was a lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean? It's right here in black and white in print. It's bigger than a flag or mascot. Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hello, the internet, and welcome to Zites Out. It's the Santa Claus version of Zites Out. Zites Town.

Zite Town. Man, wasn't she Santogold and then became Santeegold? Santeegold. But then debuted as Santogold. Why don't you ask Santy Claus for it? I'm sure he'll give it to you. Okay. I think that's how Joe Pesci pronounces Santa Claus in Home Alone.

Yeah, she was FKA Santogold. Santogold? Yeah, because I remember when she became Santigold, I was like, what happened, though? I thought you were Santogold. Yeah. Anyway. Anyways, I'm Jack O'Brien.

That's Miles Gray. That's guy, bye, bye. Yeah. I'm just going to tell people who you are. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine. Bye-bye. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just going to tell people who you are. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's fine. And this is where we tell you what's trending right now in the world. Yeah. Jersey City is trending, unfortunately. There was a shooting there. Yeah, I think six people have died. Yeah. The footage of it, ew.

I didn't even look at the footage. Not that there's footage of the shooting, but seeing all these police going through the streets with just all this tack gear and stuff, it's just a frightening thing to see. Yeah, to a male and a female shooter with long guns. It started in a cemetery, the shootout, and ended in a kosher deli, and lots of people are dead.

It sounds like the heat shootout. Like really just horrible and horribly violent. The thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. I mean, yeah, we had the other one in the base in Pensacola. Something a listener was pointing out, sort of how the NRA talking point about more guns

might not really apply to a shooting on a military installation. Right. And how they were a little bit tight-lipped on that one. Yeah. Anyways, thoughts and prayers out to the political leaders who have this on their conscience. Yeah, or whatever they do to try and absolve themselves of any responsibility, even though they are the legislators. Yeah.

Or prayers up for them to actually pass some fucking laws. Yeah. Thanos is trending. I was like, why is this trending? Yeah. And God forsaketh dusteth with this video from the Trump campaign. It's something else. So it's basically Trump as Thanos doing the snap to vaporize the Democratic leadership.

Yeah. It was basically using the footage of Nancy Pelosi announcing the articles of impeachment that turns into the most absolute shit Photoshop. Is he doing this Photoshop himself? It looks that bad. Or is this just the best that they can do because i mean honestly that is the kind of all his supporters are like in their late 50s vfx insult where you're like what did donald trump do this himself and it does have that look looks

like shit i have not seen avengers but i know just colloquially and through the internet culture about the snap yeah but what's funny is i don't know what it means to the film so spoiler alert if you don't know and don't want to know what happens then skip ahead but look the movie's been out for a minute but one of the people on twitter quote tweeted that video and was sort of like isn't that this scene where he like dies two minutes later right i actually don't know the can't place the scene in particular. Dan, does he die two minutes later? Yeah. Okay. He does. Confirmed.

Confirmed. Thanos' death confirmed. And it looks like if that scene or that people dissolving thing from the Avengers movies had been animated for Nintendo Entertainment System, like the original. Like, yeah, 8-bit. It's 8-bit VFX. So badly. If there was such thing as 4-bit VFX, I'm sure there are,

but it's just three blocks moving around. That's how awful, awful that is. And again, not to even, I mean, as people laugh about how stupid the video is, let's not forget what he's trying to symbolize here. Right. He wants them dead. Yeah. I don't even know.

But at least he has a follower base that has mailed bombs to the Obamas and his political rivals. I wonder how many people who, like, I'm sure there are Trump supporters who fuck with the MCU. Right. And they're like, I don't know if i would have picked that part and this character because like he ultimately takes the l of the century right after that yeah i would be mad if that was my guy because i'm like my guy right this is not this is uh this is this actually does not look good for you after

right unless the message is that he is always because the part where he are we talking about trump or thanos where trump well no trump always picks the bad always identifies with the bad guy like there's the well he was rocky in that one oh yeah i guess so hey you know you got rice uh but like the video one where the Kingsman one, that is that part. Oh, right. He's like doing the bidding of like the villain basically. Or is it? Yeah.

So it's Colin Firth, but he's been like brainwashed by the villain. Oh, that's right. Yep, yep, yep. But I guess, yeah, no, that's not really true. Again, and just for the sheer optics of it, Thanos, no one looks at Thanos and goes, man, I want my child to grow up as Thanos. Right. He is the villain.

Yeah. He is. He owns that, yeah. But whatever. Sure. Trigger. Trigger the libs, man. Own the libs.

And Google Maps incognito. What the fuck does that mean? Pretty much exactly what you think it is. Okay. Cognito. What the fuck does that mean? Pretty much exactly what you think it is because we all know Google looks, it's the all-seeing eye. Yes. Skynet. And followers can know everything about you. So you can basically temporarily turn off your location tracking feature.

I didn't even know that was a thing. Like, why are y'all tracking my shit? Right. You can tell me where I am at, like my location services. But it shuts it down temporarily. But you can also turn it off like completely. So it's just for people who maybe, you know, you want to run out to cheat on your wife.

Not you specifically. This is a user who is just a total lecherous creep. Right. But I don't know. In this article they were talking about, it's like, perhaps you might not want your friends and loved ones with access to your phone or account to know you hit up the local dispensary. What?

I don't know. That's a very 2019 thing. Yeah. Being like, aren't you ashamed that you're tight as fuck? Do you ever worry? I mean, Google knows everything. It's weird. When this came out, I'm like, oh shit, I need to start thinking about that, huh?

Right. Everything is recorded. Everything is uploaded to Skynet could be when the terminator is gonna come down i like i guess i wouldn't even know how people would access it but since the fact that they would access it or could access it is probably unnerving right oh yeah i mean i just again it's like anything, not that I have anything to hide, like of where I'm going, my whereabouts, but to know, like, it's weird when you can reduce someone's entire existence to like this data file of like all these data points. Like they moved to this location, dialed this number, spent this amount of credits. Right. And I mean, eventually, I mean, you know, I guess that's the blessing of being born in the

eighties, man. Like they don't really know about me until I'm like 23, you know? Right. And I mean, eventually, I mean, you know, I guess that's the blessing of being born in the 80s, man. Like they don't really know about me until I'm like 23. Right. You know? Right. Meanwhile, when the government tries to look at me, they don't know I've been shining my skills in chemistry. Like the beast. For our look back at the decade, we were looking back at our own social medias and we had some young people in the office who were reading off their status updates. Yeah.

Very interesting. I think we're, you know, to be old, dried-out husks of men at our age, like, it's like, yeah, Facebook at this point, it's like, I'm like, yeah, I don't know, dude, I'm drunk. Right. And here's this photo. Yeah. I wasn't very much in my, I wasn't in the super wild phase at this point.

Right. Other things that are trending, Ajax and Ansu Fati. Okay, hold on. It's Ajax. Ajax? Yeah, because it's the Dutch soccer team that's based in Amsterdam. I was just going to ask if you knew who these people were. Ajax, the great warrior.

Yeah, Ajax. Yeah, they were playing, I think, Real Madrid. Right. And that's been actually a very, very fun matchup in the Champions League in the past few years. Because Ajax is not like a team that has a lot of money. Real Madrid has the bankroll to be like, we want Cristiano Ronaldo. We want this player. We want whoever we want and build the Galactico squad, as they call it.

Ajax is based off of a philosophy of total vote ball, like Dutch soccer, and they just create really great homegrown talent. Huh. Yeah. How about that? Yeah. I know you're real big on that. Slam Magazine is giving out the Sharpest Hairline Award. Who? Slam Magazine is giving out the Sharpest Hairline Award.

Who? Slam Magazine is giving out the Sharpest Hairline Award to NBA players. And Jalen Rose is... They have all the players from... Like, they got Fred Van Vliet, Darren Williams, Klay Thompson. Oh, wait, Darren Williams? Come on, man. That's fucked up.

Why? What's wrong with Jaron Williams' hairdo? Wait, who am I thinking of? Yeah, from the Jazz? Yeah. Because he had painted on hair. No, that was Carlos Boozer. No, Jaron, you know, he was not,

maybe the front of the hairline, you knew Jaron Williams was up to no good with that hair. Oh, really? Yes, dude. Somebody said Jalen Rose has the best barber of all time based on his hairline. No, Darren Williams has a mix of a Caesar with bygain hair paint. He's doing a few different things. As a balding man-

You think that that is- Yo, I have the eagle's eye. I have the eagle's eye. I know when somebody's up to something now you look do it do whatever you want but at the same time it sometimes it looks obvious to those of us who know what's up uh i i would vote for lebron but uh oh you're brandon scoopy robinson uh put the order as jaylen rose best hairline, Juwan Howard, apparently has a thing for the big five, and then Darren Williams.

Is it a joke? I don't think so. I think you are the only person who is on to Darren Williams. What are you looking at? Is this a tweet? Slam Magazine tweeted. It's from Slam's Twitter. Right, Slam's Twitter. Okay.

Slam Online. They tweeted, Be real, who's the undisputed hairline champ? They're fucking around. There's no way. I refuse to believe. Me and every other friend I know who used to watch the NBA, we would always clown Darren Williams' hair.

Really? Yeah. Huh. What? Do you think Jalen Rose has a bad hairline? Sharpest hairline? Are they just saying purely because of the line? Yeah, it just has, like, sharp lines.

Okay, I mean, when I say, like, a sharp hairline, I'm trying to think of, like, the scalp with the fortitude of a thousand ships. Yeah. Like, something that's, like... Jalen Rose definitely has the strong scalp. Oh, that... Yeah, I mean, let's be real. That, oof, fucking scalp goals.

Yeah. To have Jalen Rose's hairline. I mean, he started out bald, too, like, I mean, let's be real. That fucking scalp goals. Yeah. To have Jalen Rose's hairline. I mean, he started out bald, too, like in the league. Or I guess it was in the Fab Five. Yeah. He was bald. I mean, I guess it's weird to look at them say, like, because you can just look at the evolution of Darren Williams' hair.

Like, people did write-ups about Darren Williams' hair. Oh, really? Yeah. Wow. If you just Google Darren Williams' hair and the image, like, people are clowning. Maybe he's getting, like, most improved look? Maybe. Most improved hairline?

Hey, look, at the end of the day, I'm not going to clown my man Darren because I hope to be on a list like that when science catches up. And we can come back with our hairlines looking like we were four years old. Hell yeah. And we can come back with our hairlines looking like we were four years old. Hell yeah. All right, guys. That is going to do it for this episode of The Daily Zeitgeist. The trending Daily Zeitgeist.

We will be back tomorrow with another podcast. We will talk to you guys then. Bye. Bye. In California during the summer of 1975, within the span of 17 days and less than 90 miles, two women did something no other woman had done before, try to assassinate the president of the United States.
