Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Zerun. on Trendani. Uh-oh. Trendon. Got it. Got their ass. Uh-oh. That one courtesy of Paul Garaventa.

Uh, my name is. Underrated Paul. Underrated. Fastly underrated Paul Garaventa. Amazing. Paul, if you didn't listen to yesterday's episode, you better go check in. I hope your fucking DMs are blowing up, bro. I know.

Yeah. That's the first time ever that anyone was just like, who's under I mean Paul also just to bring about also so active in the boosties discord too you know just you notice the people that are always always there. The true day ones. We stand on their shoulders, Zite gang. We stand on your shoulders. But what happened? What happened?

Hey, what happened? So this is our, this is our first episode since the election results rolled in. Yeah. And a red wave. If we're talking about fucking commies. just washed over New York, dude. Fucking. What?

Yeah, just, oh, so sorry. What? I know. I know. Democratic socialist communisms? Yeah. This dude is bad news, man. What's he talking about?

Like, locking up people or something. Oh, making a bus free? Oh. Mm. Making prison buses free as he sends us there for not keeping halal you know what I'm saying exactly that's where that's where this is headed he's declaring billionaires haram no no we cannot abide we cannot abide he had a great speech though too yeah he's good he's a good politician and that is I was listening to the daily this morning

as I like to do any time there's like a a story that kind of runs against the standard New York Times narrative near a little bit slow on the draw when it came to Zeran and uh intentionally yeah they were like yeah like so he's a talented politician he's a great politician but then like they were also getting their mind around the idea that his policies are popular like in a very slow way and i couldn't tell like is this just like does this just sound like that because they are like so centrist and like they're introducing the idea that democratic socialism might be popular to their audience or are they like literally just being like we can't wait how how are they struggling with it well they were just like not struggling with it but just being like

some people might think that it might be these policies that are he he remained laser focused on I mean they weren't struggling I mean they basically said what it was but it just like seemed like it was a new concept to them kind of you know Are they hiding behind, like, sort of journalistic practice to not really editorialize and be, like, some are saying, or did it feel like they're like, are you guys this dumb? It wasn't Michael Barbaro being like, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm. Um, but anyway, so Zaramam Dani, as you all know by now, handily won the New York mayoral election earning just over 50% of the vote. Yeah. As it was described by Politico, he capped a sharp elbowed campaign for the New York City.

mayor Tuesday night with a historic win. I like that they like immediate sharp elbowed like it was like it was just he just won a knife fight out there. That's what we just saw. This guy just had sharper elbows than his opponent. A sharp elbowed kid. They're acting like he was hurling insults. Right.

At his opposition. This motherfucker was just getting racial epithets thrown at him the whole time and just stood there and was like, well, so my thing is just these like policy, these like three policy things that I keep saying over again they're like, whoa, this guy's a fucking knife fighter, bro. Yeah, I mean, I think because of the diabolical Islamophobia and bullshit coming from

Cuomo and everyone aligned with him, like, he ate all of those. And he's like, I don't give a fuck, bro. Yeah, keep saying that shit. Watch me say my shit, and it fucking transcends all of your attacks. They call it his sharp elbow. Maybe because he fucking cooked

Cuomo's ass in such a fucking direct way at those debates. They're like, oh, fuck, dude. I hope no one ever talks to me. It talks about my shit. Don't want to see that guy in a dark alley. Those elbows are sharp. Yeah.

Oh, put some elbow pads on. He's got a beard and that scares me. The New York Post responded by accidentally making the coolest cover page ever. It is Zeron's face on top of a cartoon body wearing red, holding up the hammer and sickle above his head with a smile. And it says, on your marks, get set. Zo! On your marks. M-A-R-R-S-R-R-S-E.

M-A-R-N-R-N-S. Love that. Socialist Mamdani wins race for the mayor, the red apple. They put the R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-A-R-R-A. Surilic. Yeah, sorry-out to Cyrilic. Okay, okay. Answering to his Russian overlord.

The idea of, like, associating this with Russia when, like, we've seen what capitalism did to Russia over the past, like, couple decades, just straight to oligarchy, kleptocracy. But, yeah, he's probably taking orders from Moscow and not Trump. Well, because then I'm like, okay, well, you put all this energy into saying, like, on your marks get set, Zoe, the red apple. And then they're just saying, after a campaign that promised high taxes, free stuff, hating Israel, and vibes, socialism, managed victory last night. It's like, okay, what about that is socialism? Right.

Oh, dude, vibes, free stuff, hating Israel, taxes. It's like, I think this is where they're taxes. That's socialism. again shows you that none of these people in the establishment and any party or even in the media have any fucking clue what is going on with everyone else like younger or socioeconomically beneath them right what the fuck this social like no one gives a fuck about that description you know but i still remember that i was listening to a episode of the bill simmons podcast where he was interviewing chuck close trim and like it was probably like five

years ago, but they were like, yeah, I guess like socialism is popular. And they were like so freaked out by that. It was like, it was like they were saying that like, you know, fucking choking is poppy, you know? Like, it was like this weird strange trend among the young people. It was just like, but they're just like 10 years older than me. Like they're not that much, but like to them because I think they grew up at a time when fucking the, the, the, cold war was on and like they i do think we're going to like see an increasing popularity of socialism just as like those old people die off or like you know just fuck off to their weird corner you know inequality's got into a point that merely just saying shit needs to be more

affordable and the people's greed is out of control yeah that's also the part that nobody wants to talk about we have a profoundly broken system and the only two options we're being given are more of that and fascism. And so this guy comes in as like, or this other thing that has worked all over the globe. What is that socialism? I mean, not, again, not really. If you're, like, if you're taking it like by the fucking letter of the law and not,

that's not a dig or anything. What I'm saying, like to even describe these policies as like scary socialism is so fucking dumb. And also just doesn't, again, doesn't resonate because people's lived experiences, this shit is fucking terrible. It needs to stop. give a fuck what this guy whatever however you're describing him what he says makes sense to me shit needs to be more affordable great yeah in sweden this is called capitalism but i here it's called

fucking communism everybody run uh the cope was fun though i do like that's just a a night full of cope you know over on fox news sean hanity was despondent uh brett whatever his name is was like giving his analysis of like here's what it seems like people are responding to Sean Hannity dragged Cuomo's lackluster campaign when the results came in. So it was like basically like Cuomo sucks, which

yeah, no lies detected. Then claimed that all his friends in New York are officially depressed and scared. So he was coming off of, you know, some of the people talking about what Mom Dani did to win. Brett. What's Brett's last name? Bear.

Hey, what's Brett's name? Sounds like you're a co-worker. Fox News, Brett. He was fucking, what's that Brett guy? He gave some explanation. And then he said, I don't know, Brett, if I quite agree with the analysis in this sense. And I honestly feel bad. I have friends of mine in New York.

My phone is blowing up. They are officially depressed and scared. A full 9% of people say they will leave if he in fact got elected. So they're freaking out. Is that when Brett Baer, was he giving his theory about the, like, this could be a good thing? is that what he was saying when he said I don't agree with that I'm not sure aware

what Brett's analysis was I just know that Sean's analysis was this sad if he's talking about the analysis because I know Brett Bayer was saying this could be good good right actually for a socialist merit or then fail

because everyone's going to know it's like this isn't the wave guys and then they'll pick fascism again was the very tortured logic of Brett Bayer I think not according to the rich people who are texting me Miles oh sorry they are just bonded

sad and they matter more than other people so sorry i'm so sorry to them gregg abbott asked for a moment of silence for n yc and seemingly unironically shared uh the thoughts and prayers he said thoughts and prayers with prayer hands which he usually reserves for school shootings like that's and not even right yeah uh it's that his is very interesting to me i mean bay because he's just stupid as hell but like also this is also another version of the like another framing of the momdani one that i've seen republicans really try and push is like really trying to make this feel like this a truly a somber moment in america as if a like literal nine 11 just occurred in new york you know like a lot of people are like this is it man this is what's happened say goodbye because

they have a jihadist communist mayor in new york the game is a rap america is over unless we fight back to try and motivate people. But again, the, like, the shit ain't moving the needle. And so Abbott just looks stupid as hell for putting up thoughts and prayers. I have to say, like, this does feel like Randy Fine,

who's a Florida congressman said, legal immigrants who hate America elected a communist Muslim jihadist. New York City has fallen. America is next if we don't stop it. Like, that's fucking crazy, like racist. All

all the shit but like it also feels like what do we think his fans interpret like when he says if we don't stop it there's plenty of people who i mean not plenty i'm sure there are people who are unwell enough to hear that as some kind of like call to action and those people are the sorts of people who like support these assholes yeah no i mean that that's that's definitely dangerous and i think but that's i mean that's part and parcel of how the gop or the fucking maga movement it communicates to people is everything is an existential threat that must be addressed with force of some kind and they say rhetorical they're like it's more rhetorical force is how we need to respond but they're yeah they're blinking both eyes into the camera and we're like you know what

the fuck we're talking about at least george santoz was able to put things into perspective uh yeah tweeted uh fuck you curtis leewa i hate you your dumb wife that stupid beret of yours and all your fucking cats which which did seem to be the way that a lot of people chose to take this. The Cuomo HQ, a bunch of supporters, were having tantrums about Curtis Lewa for spoiling the election, but making my day with some of his commentary, a complete lunatic, Curtis Lewa. Yeah, this guy holding the sign at the Cuomo party. Yeah, he has a sign up that says Curtis Lewa is the spoiler. shirt untucked this guy couldn't look less serious with his like clown tie but anyway what's he

saying? Get the, why don't you fucking leave, bro? God, he seemed so drunk. He seemed so drunk. Dude, when your shirt is untucked like that, you're fucking gone. I don't know, I don't know anyone who wears a suit. And then it's like, yeah, I'm pulling the fucking shirt out. Curtis Sliwa is the spoiler.

Also seems like the sort of, like, boring point that a drunk person would repeatedly make to you. Yeah. You know, Curtis Slewa is actually a spoiler. Robert. Robert. Bob Dobby, Watt, Slewa. Yeah, Curtis Slewa. Madani doesn't get here.

He rode to mayor on Slewa. Okay. Just quick thought experiment. Curtis Llewa is the spoiler. Curtis Llewa is like a sub-New York post-level newspaper headline. And this guy had it up on a sign.

Like it was like a clever thing. Brian the editor said, fuck Jojo Siwa. He was probably close to saying that. They're like, no, it's Jojo Siwa. Yeah. Jojo Siwa. I mean,

And look, let's, for a second, entertain that idea that he's this, this spoiler, right? So what a Cuomo got 854,995 votes as of the tally that we had last night, and then 146,137. That comes out to 1,1,132. Zoran would have had, has 1,036. So you're still short, fam. Even if, even if, right? got over 50%. He got 50.4% of the votes. Even if he has a majority of the votes.

The second you go plus one over any fraction over 50%, it's a fucking rap mathematically. That's a full communism. That's a full communism, baby. We got a full ass majority. We're a communism now. Those 146,000 people, they weren't going to vote for Cuomo if they're voting for Curtis Slewa, honey. No, I don't think so. Shit just doesn't transpose like that.

and I know that's the kind of fucking smooth brain math people like to use a lot of the time but courtesy why is the spoiler okay you'll never be loved in New York he's already not Michael Rappaport and Debra Messing

Oh what did they have in a bad night having a bad night Michael Rappaport You see all the like Michael Rappaport just like pushing people and shit like who were just asking him about his Zionism Yeah, Zionism.

But yeah. He's such a fucking loser, dude. I think Debra Messon posted a hundred times in the 24 hours around the election. She is on one. They are both, they have left planet Earth. Like, their support for Israel has jettisoned them into like another plane of existence where most of us don't even live anymore. And she's like, I don't know what's going to be so scary.

Like, uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, sure. Stephen Miller, Laura Lumer, Jack Pesobiac went a different direction. They went in a racist direction, which I think you're going to be surprised to hear. Stephen Miller posted a link to a 2023 report on NYC.gov that showed around 50% of New York households contain at least one immigrant without comment, just like enough said. You see what these people do? Let's get them out of here. And what it, I'm sorry, are you, are you an indigenous?

American? Steve Miller? Yeah. Shut the fuck. Okay. Yeah. Sure. Have you been to New York?

Have you been to fucking New York? Okay. Cool. Like, it's that easy. I think that's all they can do is just fucking try and hit the xenophobia button. But guess what? It didn't fucking work this time.

Laura Lumer wrote, America is about to become a very violent country. Mamdani will encourage Muslims to commit political assassination to acquire power and silence credit. That seems way, way, way. way off on another planet. 100%. She was like, they should have been clear about the threat of Islam. Like, it was

full Islamophobia. Like, she's like, this is, they needed to communicate, how dangerous it is. Like, just go the fuck away. Go do your Pentagon fucking bootlicker journalism. Yeah. Anyways. And then, and then

Posobiac said, Mabdani will usher in a crime wave of the likes of which New York has not seen since the 1990s. You know, that, I will say, project 2025 is cutting trying to cut all those programs that did actually contribute to the drop in the crime rate like all the soft programs that there's a massive spike in the crime rate when they went away during the pandemic and then project 2025 just wants to fund violent policing yeah so they we might we might see a rise in a crime across the country I think it's probably going to be that yeah more than anything else like gang you know keep your head on a swivel because I know a lot of you guys are well wealthy white billionaires that listen to this show that live in New York, you know, just it's, it's hard time for you out there. Just want to just stay, stay frosty out there.

The other ones that you've heard, there are even people trying to blame Candace Owens, like one of these like Magapians. I, for one, blame Candace Owens. Everyone will act shocked that Democrat swept tonight. We've been warning for months that people like Candice Owens are cancerous to the conservative movement. Today she literally told voters to stay home. Maybe now people will finally call her out, even because she's black.

I don't know, sure, Jack Pasobey. Did you really tell people to stay home? Probably. Out here doing the Lord's work? Then, yeah, there were other people talking about, like, there was also, you know, Tucker Carlson interviewed Nick Fuentes, and that was like a huge thing. Like, what are you? Okay, so Nazi fun time over here.

And a lot of people on the conservative side were like, what are the guardrails exactly here? You know what I mean? Like, why do we have a fucking Nazi here with Tucker Carlson? Do we need these people in our party? and there was all this infighting or just pop-eds from conservatives being like, what do we do?

And then so Jack Posobiac was writing is that, thank goodness, so many conservative pundits spent the last few weeks focused on e-drama and cancellation efforts instead of working to get out the vote. First of all, that wouldn't have helped anyway. But nice try, also trying to normalize the fact that the fuck a Nazi

like Nick Fuentes is just ascending within the party. It's e-drama. It's e-drama. A bunch of e-drama. The thing that this guy's entire career is built on. Yeah. So people were not happy with that. And it was a bad night overall for the Republicans.

Larry Krasner won the DA race in Philly, which that's going to sting a little bit. Prop 51 in California. So quick. Did you even watch the returns? I just, that was the first one that got called. Yeah. They were kind of calling it the day before. Like all the headlines were like, as Prop 50 expected to win.

Yeah. It was one of those things where it's like, and the polls are closed and pop Prop 50, yeah, Prop 50 is what? 50 sold out in five minutes, Brian the editor said. It's all gone. Can't get it anymore. And then, yeah, I mean, there were just up and down and around. Historic wins.

New Jersey, Virginia. Super majority in the Virginia House of Delegates. Yeah. Again, what the fuck did they think was going to happen? and like they were going to change the hearts and minds of people in northern Virginia that are like people have been absolutely smashed to bits by doge guts right shut down bullshit that you didn't think what you thought people were going to fucking come crawling back to the MAGA vote it's just again a lot of I think I think it this felt like okay so most people are observing what's happening in the country right and that's good now I think the larger question is like what does now the Democratic Party do with all of this? Because obviously I think the biggest, my biggest concern is, like, that I think history has demonstrated this. They'll just co-op this language just to keep the establishment in. Right, close the language and then actually not do anything with it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But also, Zeron was not just the first Muslim mayor of New York. The Virginia State Senator Gazala Hashimi became the first Muslim American woman elected the statewide office in Virginia's lieutenant governor race. I'm telling you they're taking over, man. Detroit elected their first woman as mayor, okay? So, DEI. Dei bullshit. Dei is DEIing the fuck out right now.

Did they, were, was there a voting quota where everybody had to vote for somebody who was not a white male? Yeah, exactly. Or you don't get your Soros bucks. Oh, and then J.D. Vance's brother lost them. He was running for mayor in Cincinnati. What? Yeah, lost that.

He didn't even, bro. Vance didn't even fucking help this dude. He's just, like, during the prime. primary he's like hey my brother he's running he's a good guy you know so check him out it's also his half brother it's yeah sorry yeah it's his half brother that's what it felt like so yeah corey bowman is that guy's name that's crazy because jd vance has always been so complimentary of his family oh wait no he actually built his career on shitting like he he threw them under a bus and then built his career on top of their squashed bodies

Right, right. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll keep talking about election results and other stuff. On the podcast, Health Stuff, we are tackling all the health questions that keep you up at night. Yes, I'm Dr. Priyanka Wally, a double board certified physician. And I'm Hurricane Dibolu, a comedian and someone who once Googled, Do I have scurvy at 3 a.m?

On Health Stuff, we're talking about health in a different way. It's not only about what we can do to improve our health, but also what our health says about us and the way we're living. Like our episode where we look at diabetes. In the United States, I mean, 50% of Americans are pre-diabetic. How preventable is type 2? Extremely. Or our in-depth analysis of how incredible mangoes are.

Oh, it's hard to explain to the rest of the world that you, like, your mangoes are fine because mangoes are incredible, but, like, you don't even know. You don't know. You don't know. It's going to be a fun ride. So tune in. Listen to Health Stuff on the IHeart Radio app,

Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And she said, Johnny, the kids didn't come home last night. Along the central Texas planes, teens are dying. Suicides that don't make sense. Strange accidents and brutal murders. In what seems to be, a plot ripped straight out of Breaking Bad. Drugs, alcohol, trafficking of people. There are people out there that absolutely know what happened.

Listen to Paper Ghosts, the Texas Teen Murders, on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Robert Smith. This is Jacob Goldstein. And we used to host a show called Planet Money. And now we're back making this new podcast called Business History, about the best ideas and people and businesses in history. And some of the worst people, horrible ideas, and destructive companies in the history of business.

Having a genius idea without a need for it is nothing. It's like not having it at all. It's a very simple, elegant lesson. Make something people want. First episode, how Southwest Airlines use cheap seats and free whiskey to fight its way into the airline business. The Most Texas Story Ever. There's a lot of mavericks in that story. We're going to have mavericks on the show.

We're going to have plenty of robber barons. So many robber barons. And you know what? They're not all bad. And we'll talk about some of the classic great moments of famous business geniuses, along with some of the darker moments that often get overlooked. Like Thomas Edison and the electric chair. Listen to business history on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

All I know is. is what I've been told, and that's a half-truth is a whole lie. For almost a decade, the murder of an 18-year-old girl from a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, went unsolved, until a local homemaker, a journalist, and a handful of girls came forward with a story. I'm telling you, we know Quincy killed her. We know. A story that law enforcement used to convict six people, and that got the citizen investigator on national TV. Through sheer persistence and nerve,

this Kentucky housewife helped give justice to Jessica Curran. My name is Maggie Freeling. I'm a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, producer, and I wouldn't be here if the truth were that easy to find.

I did not know her and I did not kill her, or rape or burn, or any of that other stuff that y'all said it. They literally made me say that I took a match and struck and threw it on her.

They made me say that I poured gas on her. From Lava for Good, this is Graves County, a show about just how far our legal system will go in order to find someone to blame. America, y'all better work the hell up. Bad things happens to good people in small towns.

The Democrats kind of up and down. They, like some mainstream sort of, uh, lib Dems did well. So I have no doubt that they will find a way to learn the wrong lesson from that, you know? Uh, but so what else we got? We got, uh, Virginia's Abigail Spanberger, become the state's first female governor. J. Jones defeated, uh, incumbent, Republican Attorney General Jason Miatos.

So they're knocking off incumbents. Virginia, obviously, like, one of the things that a lot of people pointed out is that Virginia is the state that is most affected by the government shut down. Yeah. And has a history of being like, whatever party loses the White House gets to be the governor in the next race. Like, this is the 13th election in a row where that's happened.

So that kind of felt nailed on for Virginia. but yeah i mean it's uh it's it's it's instructive former cia agent abigail spamburger is that right yeah yeah exactly yeah so we know she's up to the task you know she's gonna she's gonna get in there she's gonna get in zirons she's like oh socialism hey don't worry bro i got this you know we know how to do we know how to work around this you can't spell socialism without cia you know that right you know that right is eran you want to meet me out here i just needed to take this private plane by this shell company. A donor. Yeah, a donor wants to put in this private jet. Yeah. We got to refill the fuel tanks really quick.

Yeah, this is, I mean, great to see. Great to see. I think it's a nice moment of respite. How do you say it? Respite? I think I say respite. And I don't know why. Whatever. Anyway, I think it might be because of the basketball player, Sean Respert. That I just have it as respite in my mind. Old, deep cut. John Respert, 90s NBA play. Oh, shout out Michigan State University, bro. MSU.

Anyway, so, yeah, this is, it's good to see that there is, I think, again, some semblance of sanity. And I was also reading that, like, all the gains that happened with, like, Latino voters have basically been wiped out this election because of just gestures around everywhere. And I find that's surprising to me. I can't believe that his policies up to this point. Well, Jack, it wasn't an unusual election, you know?

That's what, yeah, they did Democrats clean sweep in some cases surprisingly strong margins of victory are likely to bolster the party. But yeah, they keep calling it like calling these unusual elections. This election cycle featured several unusual races. I'm assuming that's primarily referring to Mamdani, who is only unusual in the sense that he's like a politician who is trying to whose policies seem focused on people yeah right on voters um but yeah i i don't know uh the democratic party seems pretty set on finding a way to you know build a firewall between this mom donnie victory and like where their overall vision for the

future the at the democrats on twitter uh posted last night living the fuck out. Oh, God. This is why, y'all, we can't. These people cannot stay in office. It just needs to be.

This is disqualifying. We need some, like, Pulletboro, like, cleansing. Yeah, we need,

we need somebody to come through and do a clean sweep and just be like, you guys can, we'll find you other jobs. Yeah, right, right. You would be great at,

working in corporate America you guys are above all some of the most gifted ass coverers in the history of human communication and equivocators like you guys are the best at equivocation

they're gonna fucking eat you guys up on Wall Street they're gonna love you guys on Wall Street that's where you should be going yeah I could not Schumer you should be running a fucking in like a hedge fund or something dude

Chuck you should be doing a hedge fund or team up with your fucking cousin Amy Schumer and do like a sketch comedy. Do a funny sketch comedy. Do some YouTube skits with your cousin Amy Schumer, dude. He has still refused to endorse Zerama on Dhani. Of course. I mean, in a way he did.

He said, look, I voted. And I look forward to working with the next mayor to help New York City. I bet his ass voted for Cuomo. That is, when you say that, it doesn't matter either way. If you can't even say you voted for him, you've then spiritually you're not with him there there's no way he would ever actually vote for zorn like it's or like back policies that actually help people in the face of like fucking unpopular social members he's he's just you know this he's also dino dino dem uh Donald trump's answer

Trump wasn't on the ballot and shut down were the two reasons that republicans lost elections tonight which is kind of interesting because shutdown was was the thing that put Trump on the ballot more than anything. Nobody seems to be buying his thing of repeatedly referring to it as a Democratic shutdown. The fact that he's admitting the shutdown was a big factor feels like might be bad for Mike Johnson. Mike Johnson's days might be numbered because that feels like that's, he's handed, he just crafted up a big, big L that he's getting ready to hand to somebody. Yeah, yeah.

I don't, God. someone's going to have to fucking answer but I don't know what that is exactly he'll probably ultimately take it on his shoulders you know he's usually pretty good

is carrying a bunch of packages and they just had too much weight in the tail of it so it's like a big jumbo jet and it's like taking off and then it just like keeps tipping and then just like goes down backwards it's god so it's a straight up nightmare fuel it's what I expect planes to do every time they take off and you know my brain is like this shouldn't work have you heard there there was a panic last week that uh like on an air bus plane i don't know if you if you notice it's on an airbus plane it'll be like oh yeah yeah yeah yeah it does that sound when you're like taking off and people like something's wrong something's wrong like oh really yeah this woman was freaking
