Starting point is 00:05:55 I've learned way too much about comedians from these live shows.

I'm like, I'm just crashing with her right now. Babe, can I use your office? I just need it for a sec. I'm honestly going to paint my room this weekend just because I've been getting insecure about it.

It's just like, you know, guys, it's just really, you can tell, this is what people need right now, so let me lean on Steve Carell to distract you from the fact that maybe my films are subliminal messages to the right wing of this people need this stuff
Starting point is 00:08:09 relying on steve carell and there's i mean he's had enough leave steve carell alone let him rest chris evans has that embarrassing website too or where he's like is a politic he's there was a whole gq article on it it was like chris evans his next uh his his next conquest the internet and it's just supposed to be like a politics website where it's like chris evans is like so you're stupid you don't understand politics let me chris evans explain it to you on youtube that's his whole also like a like a really handsome and like very patronizing adam con over basically or maybe like margot robbie in the big short i don't know oh it's like now they've got your attention dip shit yeah every video starts i like how this is i find out that Adam Conover isn't Miles' type. Oh, Adam is my type.

Yeah, nice try, Miles. He's so hot. Now that I've got your attention, D dipshit would be a great parody YouTube channel for all the hot dudes giving news takes. Just working out huge, like, oh!
Starting point is 00:09:34 No, I want them to still do the spreading of the legs thing. I want them to still be in the robe. The Chris Evans one, yeah, it's like, now that I've got your attention, and then he'll flex and and be like let's talk about gerrymandering or he does like the basic instinct leg crossing but he just sees like old balls in the shine like oh oh no uh all right what are we talking about today other than chris evans's old balls uh i don't know why he has such old balls i think it came from it was it was the avengers i'm referencing i think i have a big
Starting point is 00:10:14 daddy line stuck in my head where again this is how my mind works where adam sandler's really pissed that his girlfriend is dating an old man he's oh, I'm glad you're with him with his loose skin and old balls. Gross. All right. We're going to look at where Americans aren't taking the stay at home order seriously. Or maybe that's not what's happening. Maybe they just don't have the ability to get to nearby grocery stores. All depends on how the NYT wants to present that information.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Yeah. Right, right. But we are snitching, just generally. This information is pulled, the information on who's staying at home, who's not is pulled from our cell phone records. And then there is an article about how we're all snitching on our neighbors and any local businesses that didn't
Starting point is 00:11:06 close, which we'll talk about that. I don't necessarily know how to feel about that. The U.S. had its deadliest day and the world's deadliest day of any country during the pandemic with a thousand people dying on Wednesday. We're going to talk about cloth masks. That's a thing that LA is now telling everybody who ventures outside of their home for a necessary errand to wear cloth masks anytime they're out. Alcohol.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Have you guys heard about alcohol? Hey, it couldn't be me. I just tried it, actually. Oh, whoa, you're clawing it up, Loftus. Jamie's midway claw. Jamie clawed this right now, dude. Tang claw. We got the tropical pack. I was psyched about it. Dude, claw this in the building. When claw this is activated, dude, watch the fuck out.
Starting point is 00:12:02 We're going to talk about the fact that alcohol is apparently seeing a surge in popularity right now. No. During the choir. We're going to check in with Joe Exotic. He has spoken. He wants either Brad Pitt or Joe Dirt. As he puts it in his own words. What a range. What a range.
Starting point is 00:12:26 What a range. Is that his way of saying David Spade? Yeah. He just called him. He was like, yeah, Brad Pitt or Joe Dirt. That's great. The answer is Sam Rockwell, though. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Yes, absolutely. There's a paycheck protection plan, PPP, that people should be checking out. Productivity, an expert on productivity says relax. Yeah, that expert was me from like two shows ago. Okay, okay. Animal Crossing has surpassed the word sex in terms of searches searches according to Google.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Holy shit. I don't know if that has something to do with the fact that people don't just type sex in. Maybe we're getting smarter at internet. We know how to do sex. That's what I'm taking there. Peak sexual education.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Whose porn search term is just typing sex into Google? Okay, first of all, that was like me. Yeah, that was me very early when I had to use AltaVista to find that shit. I'm still typing that in. Sex. Show me sex. Yeah, but you get more refined as you get older.
Starting point is 00:13:44 You're like hot sex or like triple X sex. Yeah, but you get more refined as you get older. You're like, hot sex. Or like, triple X sex. I still don't know what that is, but okay. I got in trouble when I was in fifth grade for Googling Ashton Kutcher no shirt on Google Maps. Oh. What do you mean? How did you get caught?
Starting point is 00:14:02 Bad, bad, bad. Well, because I left it on the screen. Forgot. Forgot. Forgot. Left it open. Wait, it was at your home or at school? It was at school. I was a real indoor kid, and I galaxy-brained my teacher,
Starting point is 00:14:14 and I was like, I should be allowed to be on the computer instead of going outside at recess. And he was like, all right, and you're a good kid. And so me and my best friend, Jade Perkins, would Google Ashton Kutcher shirtless for like 20 minutes every day. Wow. Like Kelso era Ashton Kutcher. What's the hottest Ashton Kutcher shirtless shirt
Starting point is 00:14:34 that you remember? What's burned into your memory? Which one? There's a very specific bad Photoshop of him. Oh, a bad, a Photoshopped one? It was a Photoshop because it was nude. Oh. I don't think that there were like school filters on and so i we like escalated the searches and there was like
Starting point is 00:14:51 yeah someone had like no shirt no pants ashton kutcher's headshot onto like a porn star and we were like whoa holy shit we should check it out has an only fans now Ashton Kutcher fakes I love it I think like my most embarrassing searches have ended with no shirt I was about to ask you what's something from your search history that's revealing
Starting point is 00:15:18 but I think we just learned it's actually it is really it's along the same lines do you know Dr. Fossey who's dealing with the infectious diseases Learned. It's actually, it is, it is really, it's along the same lines. Do you know Dr. Fossey, who's dealing with the infectious diseases? He's a guy in the background of all of the Trump press briefings. Yeah, yeah. Tony Fauci. Love him.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Fauci, yeah. Somebody was like, oh my God, he's so handsome on Twitter. And they were like, you should see him young. And I like, I did Dr. Fossey young. And he just looks the same, but with darker hair. It's a similar no shirt, but for nerds. Always someone then with young, you're like, oh my God. Oh my goodness.
Starting point is 00:15:56 Did you know at one point they were less old? Yeah. It's never not shocking to me when people are younger than they are currently. Do you ever Google somebody young and you're like, I could have had a shot with them back then? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Yeah. I think that's the point is you Google someone young and you're like, oh, yeah, yeah, that's in my league. That's in my zone. I think the most frustrating thing is when you search someone
Starting point is 00:16:23 who's like a villain and they're hot when they're younger. Oh, my God. And you're like, what the fuck? No. Oh, like a real life villain. Yeah, yeah. Like someone like shitty in the news or something.
Starting point is 00:16:34 You're like, God damn. But people do that like in real time with like Tommy Lahren and stuff, right? Like they're thirsty, but they're like, I hate this. Pre-facelift Tommy Lahren. Oh, I didn't even notice. What is something
Starting point is 00:16:49 you think is underrated? Oh, okay. This is a personal vendetta that I have, but I feel like drag queens are underrated. I got into,
Starting point is 00:16:58 I've been on, on the apps still chatting with guys and I'm pretty sure a guy won't text me back because I got upset that he wasn't supportive or enthusiastic enough about drag queens. There you go.
Starting point is 00:17:11 So he was like, that conversation got heated, and I was like, I'm fine, but you need to be more excited about it. Wait, okay, what happened? What did you bring up where you found the divide? Well, my roommate loves watching um drag so we watched like a live stream of all these drag queens and it was like it was you know everybody was figuring out their live stream so like it was lagging a bit or whatever but it was awesome and i told
Starting point is 00:17:34 him that that's what i was up to and he was like oh i just don't understand drag queens like all they do is lip sync and i was like no it's entertainment it's makeup it's style it's entertaining and i was like the backgrounds the clothes yeah that's some real reductive shit to say i know i'm like all right your turn try it i know and he was like he was like no i support them i just don't like connect and i was like well this is still a problem your connection is a symptom of a larger problem. I think maybe, maybe like you got to walk them through the history. I mean,
Starting point is 00:18:10 like, like that's not on you to educate these people, you know, especially when, especially in the choir, you're trying to find somebody that's ready to go. Not someone you have to raise. Ready to go from their own home.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Yeah. And then you just say like, I guess you should start with being like, have you seen Paris is Burning? Yeah. Leave it there. Let that be your litmus test. What is something you think is overrated?
Starting point is 00:18:34 Well, now that I can't do it, stand-up comedy. Don't come back to it. Okay. Just don't come back. I have a feeling it's going to be like 12, you know how there's new year's comics and they they like it's there's like a spike in comedians at the beginning of the year
Starting point is 00:18:50 i think it's gonna be so bad when we get out of quarantine like everyone who's wanted to try anything ever is gonna be on and then also all of the regular comedians are just gonna be itching for stage time it's gonna be so bad i was thinking about that yesterday and it gave me a massive wave of anxiety i'm like it's gonna be worse than being in the choir is being out and people being like i've been workshopping a lot of stuff and you're just like oh my god i think i'm not gonna come out i'm not gonna come out for a couple weeks until after like probably let them get it out of their system i'm gonna like let all the animals feed and then I'm going to come by later. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:26 What about this though? What if, right? People are so hungry for just stand-up comedy that the people who get out there first are with some of the most receptive audiences and can somehow ride a post-quar wave where people are like, y'all got quar brain. This is not funny. This is just funny to you because you've been inside all the time. And they're like, we find these like, I i bet you there's gonna be one person who like rides a post-quar
Starting point is 00:19:48 wave where everyone's like this is objectively not good and we're only loving this because we've been inside the whole time yeah yeah for sure that's gonna be jeff low it's gonna be jeff low i do i mean i miss i miss performing a lot but the the first couple of weeks are going to fucking suck. They're going to be worse than being locked inside. I didn't even know that New Year's comic was a thing. That's interesting. I mean, I was a New Year's comic, technically. My first open mic was in January, but whatever.
Starting point is 00:20:20 And you were working on a PhD in the midst, in a very relevant field, right? Yeah, super relevant. Making Pallavi tell on herself. I, yeah, I quit that in December and it is sad. Okay, so I was actually, so I'm a biomedical engineer. I quit my PhD in December. Before my PhD, I was working in infectious diseases. So if I had stayed on at that job, we would be developing Corona controls right now. And my friends are. So it's interesting
Starting point is 00:20:51 talking to them. How does that feel like being like you left that industry, which suddenly now is probably one of the most important fields of medicine or science right now. And you're kind of like, yeah, does it does you feel stressed out or does part are you getting like um i'm sorry miles you're breaking up i can't hear you um i'm so sorry uh it must be some like crazy thing with the connection how does that feel it feels fucking awful but i did okay so i did join i was telling you guys i joined this group of like a bunch of so there are engineers and doctors that are like well i don't know if doctors have time but a bunch of like a bunch of so there are engineers and doctors that are like well I don't know if doctors have time but a bunch of like medical professionals that are like volunteering to try to like make new designs for face masks and ventilators and ventilator splitters if necessary and so I joined a group of a bunch of engineers and like now I'm actually I have a purpose again
Starting point is 00:21:39 I was like I was like thank I was like all this extra time not doing live stand-up comedy, which is what I quit my PhD for. Maybe I'll, I don't know, throw it back into some sort of PhD type hours. That's got to be energizing. Yeah, it actually feels really good. I'm like, oh, okay, now I know what I'm doing. Because I was having so much anxiety from not having control over anything. And then this finally gave me something to do where I'm like,
Starting point is 00:22:07 okay, well this is me like figuring it out and like trying to control what I can. And finally, what is a myth? What's something people think is true, you know, to be false. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:16 I didn't have a clear answer on this one, but I, so after watching tiger King, I was just like horrified by like what they did to the animals. And then my friend and I were talking about animal suicide. And there's like I'm looking at this BBC article and there's like a whole like there's arguments to and from. There are like animal psychologists and it's been happening since like second century A.D. There was like a Greek scholar that like wrote a whole book on this subject.
Starting point is 00:22:43 But basically, from what i can gather it seems like animal behavior changes in confinement and so it seems like animals who are like free may like sacrifice themselves for their young or something but they don't like altruistically but they don't think of like a mother spider will like will like let its young feed on her own body and stuff but like but it's not like they think of it as, like, suicide. But it seems like in confinement, like, orca whales and stuff, like, get hella depressed and, like, their behavior changes. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:13 And you can see the despair. Or, like, lemmings, it's, like, not suicidal. Yeah. But, like, it seems like in, yeah. So in the wild, they just have these, like, interesting behaviors that people sometimes think is suicide, but it's actually due to other reasons. Whereas in confinement, it could be.
Starting point is 00:23:32 But they don't know if animals think very far into the future or if they're just acting out of instinct to save their own lives. So that's just interesting. I don't know. to like save their own lives you know so yeah that's that's just interesting i don't know yeah little like two minute thing where joe exotic uh is talking about the two monkeys who were kept like across from each other that's exactly why years and then like got into an enclosure together and just were like hugging each other was so brutal that's exactly why i looked it up it was that moment because that was so like painful um there was um my friend harper who's
Starting point is 00:24:13 been on the show before i was telling harper rose drummond she was telling me about how there was like a chimp in a zoo who was like signing to people and and the there were people who were just like watching and being like oh that's so cute and it like signing to people and and the there were people who were just like watching and being like oh that's so cute and it like happened for several days and then someone who understood american sign language saw that the chimp was saying that one of the workers was abusing the chimp and what it was like a mom who was like at the zoo with her kids or whatever and then she like went and talked to the zoo people and they fired the worker because it's like chimp was like someone saved me and everybody was like, oh, look at this animal.
Starting point is 00:24:47 What an idiot. And they were all dumb. I'm like, which one is trapped? Which one? Oh, man. That's a deep one. I know. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:24:59 I've been like obsessed with Tiger King and I'm just furious with humans right now. There was my favorite recent Tiger King. I mean, not my favorite, but just kind of like in obvious news with Tiger King, there's like a whole independent article on just the director of Tiger King being like, yeah, Joe exotic is categorically a racist.
Starting point is 00:25:18 No doubt in my mind. He said things every day that were horrible. And I was like that, that doesn't feel like it should be a full story. It, it speaks for itself but it was a full story huh yeah there those videos the like deleted scenes of him just saying openly racist shit is horrible yeah but they aren't deleted scenes aren't they just from his tv show i thought those were just clips from his tv show yeah yeah i think they are. I guess deleted scenes from the documentary
Starting point is 00:25:47 in the sense that they didn't show it in the documentary. That's true of a lot of these docuseries. I think if you show the full picture of who the person really is, there's no way people are going to have empathy for him. And so it seems like they edited it out because it's unconscionable. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:26:07 Documentary filmmaking is some of the most manipulative shit. Yeah. Finding Sugar Man is the thing that always jumps out to me, that they go and find him and make it seem like he had no idea he was popular, any of his recordings had been popular and it was like no he had had the exact same thing happen to him in uh i think it was australia he was like huge in australia already uh but they made it seem like he was like this obscure person uh who had no idea anyone listened to his music i think the hardest part of like doing a documentary like that or like being the person who like interviews everybody and is like filming everything is like
Starting point is 00:26:49 how would you remove yourself from like this animal abuse that's like happening right and like i would be so hard for me to like not try to intervene but i mean obviously it's making bigger waves right now because jeff lowe's thing got raided or whatever as a result. But it would take so much to hold myself back. I was so mad the whole time. The docuseries that stands out to me as the clearest manipulative shaping of the story is in The Jinx. I think that they kind of shaped the story
Starting point is 00:27:20 to make you think that Robert Durst is actually guilty. And I like, I think it's super clear that if you look at all the evidence, he didn't kill anybody. Really? Yeah. He didn't kill anybody. Well,
Starting point is 00:27:39 he dismembered someone in self-defense, but that's it. I knew I was like, there's no way. What about the Beverly Hills handwriting thing? That was go. I was like, there's no way she's doing this. Jamie, what about the Beverly Hills handwriting thing? That was manipulated. That was photoshopped. That was manipulated?
Starting point is 00:27:52 That was manipulated. She's back on her Durst shit. That was actually, it's unconscionable what they did. Okay, but how do you, what do you feel about
Starting point is 00:28:02 the crimes of Fred Durst? The worst thing he ever did was start a cute little jazz club I mean well look give Fred Durst a break because it's all about that he said she said bullshit it's all about that he said she said you guys really thought I meant it for a second that's fun
Starting point is 00:28:20 and on that we're going to take a quick break. 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.

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.

Starting point is 00:31:26 Señora Sex Ed is not your mommy sex talk. This show is la plática like you've never heard it before.

Starting point is 00:32:31 And we're back. And there is a New York Times map that was published showing when people stopped traveling more than two miles? Yeah. I think right now everyone's kind of concerned with what states might be doing or not doing to sort of contain or limit to spread, flatten the curve, whatever terminology you want to use. And the New York Times used this map of using cell phone data to basically track people's movements and see that, especially in the South, Southeast, there's a lot of people still traveling more than two miles. So they were sort of using this like, okay, who's actually taking this stay-at-home order seriously?
Starting point is 00:33:11 Was sort of the headline of the article was, where America didn't stay home even as the virus spread. And it kind of looks like, oh, look, it's these seemingly red states in the South or whatever. And I think a lot of people are like, sure, a steady diet of Fox News and bad leadership from the governor's mansion will lead to people still traveling for a long time. But it's a little incomplete to sort of just look at it like that, because if you juxtapose it, there are a few people on Twitter who took issue with this article, because they
Starting point is 00:33:41 also showed where like the highest concentrations are people with without a car or supermarket within a mile are and it sort of maps directly on top or nearly not like exactly but very there's significant overlap between those two like hot zones so there's also a question of like what people's access are to get to these places or you know like how they're able to get their own goods or get to services and things like that um but yeah just an interesting map to look at because i think on one hand we're all very much like looking at governor kemp like in georgia say stuff like oh i had no idea people could be asymptomatic and spread it like saying that
Starting point is 00:34:21 fucking on wednesday uh when everyone has been talking about this uh and then looking at apps like this and just being like what the fuck are they doing i mean i wouldn't expect any like person who has treated abortion the way they have to understand anything scientific you know what i mean like not specific but well yeah and a lot of governors are using this as a way to sort of do their backdoor version of uh completely repealing roe v wade by saying like oh abortion is actually a non-essential medical service so actually that's why we can't have any right now because of the quarr so actually end it right now that's been like just held back i mean did it has it actually gone through
Starting point is 00:34:58 anywhere i think i don't know that it's actually gone through but people are fucking they're all they're trying mcconnell tried to sneak that into one of the like bills passed for like the stimulus package or something right he tried to like add abortion restrictions ah he's like okay twelve hundred dollars for everyone also you can't get abortions okay that sound good sound good everybody like this okay okay we're also going to take away your rights okay sound good okay great oh That's so, I mean, not surprising. These New York Times maps give me severe anxiety. I think that's what they're supposed to do. I know.
Starting point is 00:35:34 I hate that. I mean, the one positive thing I've even read in terms of the spread being flattened or the curve being flattened was the, you know, the states that took the most aggressive action early on, like in Washington and California and places like that have seen better outcomes or they're seeing better outcomes than other places based on just a matter of a few days of not putting a shelter in place order. So, I mean, hopefully this can inspire other municipalities to fully, you know, shut shit down there was a an la times article that showed like the trajectory um between states right and how la has uh and california in general like you were saying has kind of like veered lower uh than like new york and so it's like we've kind of uh found a way to isolate better but i think that's like inherent in all
Starting point is 00:36:24 the reasons that people generally don't like LA is that everything is so spread out. We're all so isolated. But now it's like way better for survival because with New York, like everybody's all on top of each other and like the subways and everything are always packed.
Starting point is 00:36:39 But yeah, it showed the trajectory and it seems like hopeful here at least. Who would have thought our total lack of connection and empathy for each other by being close to our neighbors would have had this benefit of being like, Get the fuck away from me. I'm staying inside my house. And that's kind of where things are. I think also the rain helped, too, those first two weeks. Because on top of it, the weather was not nice.
Starting point is 00:37:01 It felt like we were stuck inside and things were bad outside yeah i've been i've been worrying a lot about my new york friends just i mean yeah because it's so it's so impossible like you can't not be on top of each other in new york and it is so hard to get access to basic stuff without being on top of each other where here it's like at least you have a little bit of you can you can conceivably stay six feet away from people where there it just sounds completely fucking impossible right yeah um i mean so uh kind of going in that same direction uh the u.s had over a thousand deaths uh just on wednesday alone it seems like the phase we're in is new york is continuing to trend upwards and a lot of the cities around the country are starting to, like Detroit, New Orleans,
Starting point is 00:37:49 are starting to show the same trajectory as New York. And there's just some really devastating charts about the trajectory that we're on in general with coronavirus infections. But I mean, infections is a statistic that can be misleading for all sorts of different reasons, but deaths, I mean, that,
Starting point is 00:38:10 that is the thing that you can't escape. If people are dying of coronavirus at a record rate in the country, then, uh, things, the, the plane has crashed into the mountain. Like things are,
Starting point is 00:38:22 and, and the other thing that I just want to emphasize is that even though New Yorkers are on top of each other, I was Googling this morning, New York has 27,000 people per square mile. Seoul, Korea has 45,000 people per square mile and have managed to, through their government, stepping in and getting early testing. Germany, you're seeing the same thing. They're nailing this by getting people tested, got people tested right away. And the importance of testing just can't be overstated. So that's where we're at, or where we were at as of Wednesday. And hopefully we get better news soon.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Weren't there estimates that like 16,000 New Yorkers might pass from this based on the trajectory right now? I mean, just a lot of the I mean, I think Cuomo said Thursday like that they have with the rate things are going, though, maybe they'll probably run out of ventilators in six days without some kind of massive intervention. I'm so mad at Cuomo because of how he created hand sanitizer out of prison labor. And now Rikers is fully ignored and the rate of infection there is seven times that of the normal population. in times that of the normal population. And I saw this Twitter thread from this lady who had gotten a lot of phone calls from prisoners who were telling her about the awful conditions. And she said that there was no hand sanitizer because they're not allowed to have it. They took away cleaning supplies and soap.
Starting point is 00:39:57 The staff is refusing to clean. This is from a Twitter thread, so I'm not sure. But I was trying to double check for articles, and there haven't been articles about Rikers in like 10 days and i'm just like what is happening in there like are they even counting those people as being part of the population you know like yeah cuomo is getting i feel like he's almost getting the same kind of bump that giuliani got during 9-11 right now where he's like doing things but like the bare minimum things he's doing then and i feel like people are not used to seeing public officials stepping up in any way shape or form ever so when someone even remotely does it and then either is wearing suspenders or has
Starting point is 00:40:36 nipple nipple piercings we're like yes king you know but but it's like yeah he still has a shit track record he's like rolled back medicare shit in new york he's making prisoners work like slaves like it's it's you know he um there was like a bail reform thing in january that he rejected or some like prison reform thing in january that he rejected that caused more of them to be in there in the first place yeah and then and then he utilized their labor i think de blasio let out like a couple hundred or like some small amount of people who were most at risk
Starting point is 00:41:08 or they were trying to let them out. But like the conditions in there are terrible. Yeah, it's really bad. Like he's, I mean, just everyone slow your roll on the Cuomo memes. He's not the hero that, but he's, I mean, he's doing a thing, which is why we're impressed.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Yeah, it was only a few months or just a while back when people were like Cynthia Nixon destroy Cuomo in the election please this guy fucking sucks but you know yeah I think people I think there's something natural where people need somebody to rally around
Starting point is 00:41:41 like we're seeing approval ratings for leaders around the world surge while this is happening. And it happened to Trump, even, when he is fucking this up beyond what any modern-day politician has ever fucked something up in the developed world. But his supporters need to rally around the flag and i think the cuomo gives uh people who aren't trump supporters somebody to rally around
Starting point is 00:42:13 right i mean it's like i get it but yeah just like check there well i think you know it's all relative you know just like for a while people were longing for george bush to uh to come back they like well i mean at least bush too was better than trump you're like hold the fuck up no right like bush too fucked an entire region of earth yeah and i think that's where and i think it's natural too like jack saying like you want to feel like someone is not completely fucking up and if you're not completely fucking up that's the little're not completely fucking up, that's the little bit of the ray of light that helps, I think, people feel a little bit optimistic.
Starting point is 00:42:50 It's all about tone, right? Yeah. Yeah, that's bad. America has just generally turned into one big version of the burbs slash rear window slash disturbio slash takashi 69 where everybody's snitching everybody's just kind of staying in their house looking at their neighbors uh just waiting for somebody to fuck up and you know in some cases it's doing some good uh people who are telling
Starting point is 00:43:23 officials about businesses that were staying open are actually getting those businesses shut down that were probably not being very responsible. Some yoga studios who were like, we're fully necessary, right? Oh, shut down the yoga studios. Essential health. Shut them down.
Starting point is 00:43:43 I was this for comedy. was like dming people for weeks telling them to stop performing and people like right right before or like right around the actual like way too long into it well and everybody had stayed in there were people like we're the we're the rebels of comedy like fuck this coronavirus thing i'm like it's not the man like what are you doing and so i i was dming people and i was like leaning on my education being like do you respect my degrees you know just like this elitist shit or whatever i was like whatever i have to do to get you to listen to me and like some of them some of them did listen and it did help but some of them like left me on red or like
Starting point is 00:44:21 blocked me or like did all this other stuff. Oh my God, they blocked you? And I fucking lit up one of these guys on my Instagram because he blocked me. And I'm like, you're an idiot and you're not funny. Like, why are you doing this? Dude, the least funny people kept performing. I'm like, it's not going to make you better. It's because they could get booked all of a sudden. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:43 Okay, that's mean. But it's true. They were like, I got to perform at this thing the other week. And it's like, yeah, why do you think you got to perform there? People were still doing open mics. I'm like, why are you paying? Why are you paying to get infected? Like, I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:44:59 I'll put one place on blast. Flappers stayed open for so long in burbank yeah the most cursed venue in all of burbank um stayed stayed open for so long and the reason that they closed if if rumors are to be believed was because like people like burst in in the middle of a show and like shut the place down but it had to do with the fact that like shit was leaking out of the pipes or something at what didn't even have to do with corona and then they just didn't hear that it's funny to hear how many people are like stuck in that mentality with coronavirus like they're it's not a virus it's like their fucking stepdad telling them yeah call like what the fuck are
Starting point is 00:45:37 you talking about yeah no fuck that bro obviously if you're not hanging out at the cellar right now you don't really care. It's that grind, you know? You got to go to mics and shows and the hospital. You got to grind. You're not doing burgers right now? I do have to give you this quote from a yoga instructor who was shut down. She said,
Starting point is 00:45:57 if we were naughty with the government's order, then we're very, very sorry. We're not here to cause problems. We're here to practice our poses. There's all sorts of ways to sublimate like the fact that you're completely fucking up but also the one thing that is so easy out of ever all of these entertainment things or exercise things yoga is the easiest thing to do at home. So many people are doing it. It's weird.
Starting point is 00:46:28 Was it, Anna sent this to us the other night. There was like a Governor Newsom quote where he was like, in some cases, snitches get stitches, but in this case, snitches get rewards.
Starting point is 00:46:41 And you're just like, ah! Called these people out. It feels so counter. It would have been so counter for him to say riches but he obviously couldn't he's rewards I'm like okay it was Garcetti LA's mayor Garcetti Mr. Garcetti
Starting point is 00:46:55 himself yeah I just love you know people getting angry at each other for not doing right by science it's nice to see that sort of like sort of I, I think it manifests in different ways. I think some people just need someone to get angry at in a stressful time. I think other people are deeply concerned and really look and think of like what the
Starting point is 00:47:15 ramifications are, but it's heartening. Yeah. Just be honest with yourself in terms of essential work. Like how essential are you, really? Also, I got to give points to the owner of that yoga studio who's like, okay, if we were being a little naughty, okay, and possibly exacerbating a pandemic, sorry. It's like how Kelly Loeffler is going to explain
Starting point is 00:47:39 all her fucking additional stock sales we just found out about that she was selling something north of 15 million dollars worth of stock before the pandemic not just a couple million and she's like oh if we were a widow naughty sorry that's the that's the jessica love is blind voice yeah right and it's also i mean i don't know i understand like especially when it's a small small business i mean i don't i don't feel any way about the yoga studio but when it's a small, small business. I mean, I don't feel any way about the yoga studio. But when it's a small, small business, I get where the temptation comes from. But protect the people, man.
Starting point is 00:48:14 Well, yeah, and I think that's why it's, I think when people's outrage just sort of stops at, why are you open? You got to actually keep going upward because it's not just them they're open because they have a mortgage or a rent that they pay on the studio and if they don't have the money then their dream is over and the person that they pay is also so we need to keep looking up and be like okay who is the person who is causing all the suction yeah yeah because the flapper is industrial complex. Mary Garcetti is now ordering people to start wearing cloth masks out if they have to be out if you're doing your weekly grocery trip or whatever it is. Keep the N95 masks for the healthcare workers and healthcare providers, know cloth masks are being recommended now yeah i'm i'm speaking through a cloth mask right now actually yeah i just put mine on very hard
Starting point is 00:49:12 to breathe through it's actually mostly for for biking like exercising in smoggy cities like this is more for like one exercise in la where this fucking respirator i've i've i've like using a bandana, but I think I'm going to try to make one. There's a ton of fun patterns out there right now. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I think, I mean, also a lot of people were sort of concerned about being like, whoa, is it at the point where everyone needs to be doing this? Because the CDC hadn't actually put out these guidelines saying this is what everyone needs to
Starting point is 00:49:46 do but his reasoning was like look if this even helps the stop the spread by one percent we're gonna do it like there's no reason to not do every single thing we can obviously without straining the resources like n95 masks that are needed for frontline workers but like in terms of just anything if we can do this if it's just if do this, if you got an old t-shirt you can wear on your face to go to 7-Eleven, please do that. It's whatever we can do. The thing they said it actually helps is in addition to asymptomatic people being less likely to cough some coronavirus out into the world through a cloth mask, it makes you, or it makes people more likely
Starting point is 00:50:28 to steer clear of you because you look scary, I guess. You look like an old-timey bandit. So they're like, yeah, you gotta watch out. So it helps enforce social distancing. I'm really loving men staying the fuck out of my way on the sidewalk. It's been,
Starting point is 00:50:44 no one's run into me and not seen me. It's been perfect. There is an upside to all of this. All right, let's take another break. We'll be right back. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that. I have a thinking about you. I want you back in my life. It's too late for that.
Starting point is 00:51:06 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.
Starting point is 00:51:21 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
Starting point is 00:51:39 We're not hurting people There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing They're just dreams.

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? The Boone County Rebels will stay the Boone County Rebels with the image of the biscuits. It's right here in black and white in print.
Starting point is 00:54:25 They lion. An individual that came to the school saying that God sent him to talk to me about the mascot switch. As a leader, you choose hills that you want to die on. Why would we want to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it. On the segregation academies, when civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools, these charter schools were exempt from that. Bigger than a flag or mascot. You have to be ready for serious backlash.
Starting point is 00:54:54 Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. and so is alcohol uh the consumption of alcohol how about this perfect transition you guys read about this alcohol stuff bro are you clawing right now dude where's cloth this man hey cloth this get in here you got a cloth you got a cloth you got a cloth mask the best part about tangerine white cloth is you can smell it from a foot away. There you go. I got a morning business conference call I got to get on. So, you know, we've talked a lot on this show about how, like, there's always articles of what millennials are killing because we're broke as a generation. But alcohol seemed to be the one thing
Starting point is 00:55:46 actually most millennials aren't really... Beer sales were tanking a bit because of the rise of the seltzies and what have you. I drop beers out of my repertoire. I'm a claw gal. Beers out of your repertoire completely? Well, we have some,
Starting point is 00:56:03 but it doesn't get touched generally. I've got my sweet claws. I let myself have one Mike's hard if I'm having a really sad day, but I try to keep it chill on the Mike's. I've changed. I've changed. Okay. Wait, but you call Mike's beer?
Starting point is 00:56:21 No, no, no, no. Sorry. I have various brands of malt liquor that makes your head right right um but so right now you know with the quar i think everyone many people um are starting to drink more uh in general like compared to last march's numbers online alcohol sales are up 243 percent uh and right now just all across the board when like uh the from nielsen research they found that sale of alcohol alcoholic beverages rose 55 in the week ending march 21 and then spirits like tequila gin and pre-mixed cocktails led the way in terms of like the biggest jump 75% increase compared to
Starting point is 00:57:06 last year and wine was up 66% beer up 42% is this um like taking into account like what's sold to like bars and restaurants too or is it like just what people take home well I mean I have a feeling because the week ending march 21st a lot of bars were not i mean many places were shutting down bars and things like that so i think this is purely from like the consumer level rather than the so um restaurant level unfun science fact uh alcohol is pretty closely associated with cancer rates. Why would you say that? I don't know, man. Put down the claw.
Starting point is 00:57:50 I'm literally holding a claw right now. Put it down, baby. Wait, it's associated in what sense? I don't know if it's linearly associated, but there's pretty high correlations between drinking alcohol, just even regularly, and likelihood of cancer. But people don't want to hear that but i said it um but i'm so i'm wondering if there's going to be like a spike of cancer like years down the line for from
Starting point is 00:58:15 just this event oh from all the from the claw and stuff and the mole yeah i mean hey you know but this is yeah i drink just i just have a couple glasses of red wine every day just to relax. And then the tannins and antioxidants. The tannins. The tannins, antioxidants. Chocolate and wine is all you need. The antioxidants are going to help me be cancer free. Sounds like fake news to me.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Sounds like fake news. Yeah, I don't know. Look, Poppy, call me up in maybe four years and then you see where i'm at i was listen i was i'm the result of a of a medical experience i sound like a i'm the result of a medical experiment i'm not gonna let a little white claw kill me okay you sound like janine piero all right everybody listen uh you gotta lean back though janine piero was lean the fuck back when she might have been drunk that night that's another reason why jinx culture is so prevalent right now janine piero massive player in the jinx franchise
Starting point is 00:59:19 oh that's right hold on hold on i'm looking up Janine Pirro young right now. She was a protagonist, right? She's the antagonist. And then you learn more about her and you're like, oh, Robert Durst is right yet again. Janine Pirro sucks. And he says in court, he's like, Janine Pirro made me do it. And you're like, what the fuck? He rules.
Starting point is 00:59:45 He rules. He rules. Now I have to bust open a claw with my man, Bobby D. I think you might have viewed that show differently because you said she's an antagonist.
Starting point is 00:59:57 I think most people were watching it thinking that Robert Durst was the bad guy. I actually don't think that that, I think that that's what Andrew Jurekery wanted you to think, but a lot of people saw through the fog
Starting point is 01:00:09 and saw that clearly Robert Durst was the under... I love an underdog story. The son of a billionaire who murders three people, allegedly. I love it. Allegedly. Allegedly. An American Joe.
Starting point is 01:00:23 So Joe Exotic has spoken. He wants either Brad Pitt or Joe Dirt, as he put it. Allegedly. Allegedly. An American Joe. So Joe Exotic has spoken. He wants either Brad Pitt or Joe Dirt, as he put it. There's not really much more to report than that. No. I mean, honestly, just hearing him say that, like from all accounts, it would have to be Joe Dirt, like that he said he referred to David Spade as just Joe Dirt. That's to be the best part of this whole thing
Starting point is 01:00:45 is that David Spade has been reduced to Joe Dirt. It's, I mean, poor Spade. Is he a nice person? He seems like he might be nice. I don't know. David Spade? I could see him also being nice. But why poor Spade?
Starting point is 01:00:58 He's being held up next to, his Joe Dirt character is being held up next to Brad Pitt. Like, that's a compliment. That's true. That's true. Brad Pitt. Like, that's a compliment. That's true. That's true. Brad Pitt should feel maybe not so good. When we think of our great actors,
Starting point is 01:01:14 we think of Brad Pitt and Joe Dirt. Yeah. I mean, look at just that, this gif of him taking his shirt off from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and then just having old- Wait, Joe Dirt or Brad Pitt? Brad Pitt. I mean, if you looked closely, there was a great Joe Dirt cameo
Starting point is 01:01:29 in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. But then David Spade, he had Saf from Tiger King, the guy who got his arm bit off from the documentary, interviewed him online. And Saf was like, you know what i i believe that you david spade should play joe exotic so we also have a saf sign off wait no saf agreed this is getting out of control roll it back do we need any more anything to like about tiger king i feel like we saw it all in the documentary i don't want to see a movie version of this that's i do have a
Starting point is 01:02:04 strong suspicion that like a couple months from now when when uh we're allowed to go outside again uh people will be like i don't like thinking about the tiger king reminds me of a dark time in my life and i don't think about it yeah just like i'm just telling you this quar the quar bar is so low right now that you can take advantage whether it's a true crime documentary bad stand-up whatever afterwards yeah we might come out of this being like dude fuck joe dirt and everything about it it's just the thing we needed to talk about to sort of like put away our nihilistic thoughts and fantasies yeah but yeah i like how now joe dirt and joe exotic are the same thing now you misspoke and normally i would it go, but we have a policy on this show
Starting point is 01:02:46 that we never even accidentally impugn Joe Dirt. You said fuck Joe Dirt. Yeah, that's not okay. Cannot let that slide. I'm sorry. I mean, fuck Joe Deer Tay. Joe Deer Tay, yes. Joe Deer Tay.
Starting point is 01:03:01 The Paycheck Protection Plan. Does anyone have experience with this do we know i just wanted to toss that out to zeitgang um we wanted just because unemployment is at like an all-time high it's at depression levels i'm curious to like how people in zeitgang like have you been filing for unemployment if so like has have people been responsive? The Paycheck Protection Plan seems to be another option that a few people tweeted at us about, which it's qualified as an SBA loan that helps businesses keep their workforce employed during the COVID-19 crisis. If you've worked for a place that has actually gotten one of these loans.
Starting point is 01:03:42 I think what I'm trying to figure out, what I'm curious about is there are all these promises and options being presented and I'm curious at how quickly they're actually being followed through on. I was somewhat impressed by it. My brother filed for unemployment less than two weeks ago and got his first check a couple days ago, which I feel like is faster than that normally goes
Starting point is 01:04:06 as someone who's filed for it. I think it depends on how inundated the state is and what their infrastructure is already. Some states were warning years ago being like, just so you know, our state's unemployment insurance website will be fucked up if more than five people log on at once. So it's added things. But with the
Starting point is 01:04:25 Paycheck Protection Program, I have a homie who has a small business. And he was hitting me up about it too. And he was like, you know, I want to be optimistic because it's actually the paperwork was really light. And it seems like it's moving very smoothly. So it has offered a bit of hope for him as a small business owner. So yeah, if you find yourself in a situation like that, or maybe based on how you might be as an independent contractor, there could be a way for you to get some love off that program too. But yeah, please check out the Paycheck Protection Program. Or if you know anybody who might be in a position where they need to take advantage of that, that's one thing. So yeah, thank you for everybody from
Starting point is 01:05:04 friends and listeners to get that word out, because I, that's one thing. So yeah, thank you for everybody from friends and listeners to get that word out because I think that's – there hasn't been a great write-up or repository of information on like what to do if you need this help. Yeah, yeah. And so it's like we kind of have to look out for each other on this one. And I mean experiences of any kind too because if things are not like working the way they should be with this program, we should talk about that as well.
Starting point is 01:05:27 I already know like one small business in my area that was rejected for it and was kind of like not given a reason other than everyone's applying. And we chose in order of how essential we felt things were. So was it a yoga studio? It was. I'm thrilled to say I don't know anyone who is involved with the yoga studio it was i'm thrilled to say i don't uh know anyone who is involved with the yoga studio just in general that's a flex you would have said that before quarantine i would have been like do you even yeah do you even live in la there i honestly there was in my old neighborhood um i just moved but there was uh like a small strip of local businesses that have been there forever.
Starting point is 01:06:05 My local liquor store was there. There was a hair salon there. There's a bunch of great stuff. And they all got like gentrified the shit out of all the businesses closed. Two yoga studios opened next to each other. And I hope that they never reopen. No, that has to be. There has to be a law against that.
Starting point is 01:06:24 There should be licenses given against that. There's, there should be licenses given out like with liquor licenses, but for yoga studios. Or like science needs to come through. Like two yoga studios cannot be door to door or else a fire will occur or something like that. Yeah. Or one needs to be burned down.
Starting point is 01:06:41 Like it's just, let's be reasonable. I mean, if nothing else, Joe Exotic has taught us that we can deal with our problems via arson. With arson. That's still a good way to- Underrated. I mean, please don't,
Starting point is 01:06:55 obviously don't kill a bunch of fucking gators like he did. That's a Robert Evans underrated. Yeah. Arson underrated. Yeah. Arson underrated. P. Arson underrated. Pallavi, it's been a pleasure having you on the Daily Zeitgeist today. Thank you for having me.
