It's going good. It's going good. I'm, you know, just living my life. I have a baby, as I've brought up multiple times. Wonderful baby. And, you know, she's back in daycare, which is one of the best things in the world. For three weeks, daycare went on vacation for the holidays. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Yeah, yeah. Vacations are fun, aren't they? They're just relaxing. It was literally the first time in my life that I realized, like, oh, this is it. From now on, vacations are no longer about being relaxed. Yeah. They are a break for other people. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:46 about being relaxed yeah they are a break for other people yes they're they're a break for the people who we pay or the government pays to look after our children yes and and now we're stuck with them during the most wonderful time of the year it's the most wonderful it's like when you whenever you see people who like they're on vacation and they have a nanny or au pair with them, now I'm like, oh, that's why. That way, y'all can do something. I learned a lot on this trip.
Starting point is 00:07:16 I'm a tour guide, basically, is what I do, especially because nobody speaks Japanese. It's not fun. It's in a different way. Fun in a different way. It's no fun. It's in a different way. Fun in a different way. It's no longer a leisure trip, I would say. Right, but your child is still small being age, right?

But no, he's like super... It used to be like he goes where you just put him on the ground. But now when you put him on the ground, he's still i don't know where he is i don't know where he is right now but no like he's like soup you used to be like he goes where you just put him on the ground but now when you put him on the ground he's like i'm out i'm the fuck out of here and also i think i experienced my
Starting point is 00:07:52 first form of rejection where normally like when i would pick him up he would be like yes pick me up but now he he goes fucking limp like noodle yeah yeah like i want to crawl motherfucker don't fucking lift me and i'm like, oh my god, this motherfucker don't leave me alone. It's very funny when they just are like, oh, I'm dead weight. Now what, bitch? I just wanted to love you.
Starting point is 00:08:16 It's good advice. We can all learn something from that. Just going dead. You don't want to go to work? Just go dead. When your boss tries to lift you up to to go to work just go dead go down like awesome when your boss tries to lift you up to take you in just go new arms yeah you can't fire me i'm dead yeah all right well matt we're gonna get to know you a little bit better in a moment first we're gonna tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking about we're gonna talk talk about Nancy Mace, who had a crisis of some manner when Hunter Biden showed up on Capitol Hill.
Starting point is 00:08:50 We're going to talk about the phrase ESG, which was like environmental, social, governmental. It was like a term that was used by Wall Street to connote these are things that we're doing, not necessarily for profitability, but mainly for because they are the right thing to do. And it is now, the Wall Street Journal just wrote an article being like, it's a bad word now. You can't say that shit anymore around
Starting point is 00:09:18 anyone. Surprise, surprise. We might talk about Judge Judy. We're definitely going to talk about tunnels. Tunnels are having a moment. They're so in right now. They're huge. All over the globe.
Starting point is 00:09:29 In the national shared conscious. International. International shared consciousness. And then we'll get into Jesse Waters' groundbreaking report on Taylor Swift being a CIA op. All of that. Plenty more. But first, Matt Lieb, we do like to ask our guest what is something from your search history oh something from my we're starting with search history
Starting point is 00:09:50 fuck why are you acting like that's new no no i just uh oh wow okay wow way to mess with the form this is jazz i guess i have overrated and underrated just right here ready and i was like oh you know and then when they asked search history okay let's go let's look through it oh i wanted to do a search this is going to be not funny but uh interesting fun fact i wanted to do i wanted to find out how many of the israeli hostages have been rescued by the idf because that was you know it was like the impetus for going and doing this mass bombing campaign everything was like we got to get the hostages back right and right and no ceasefire we got to get the hostages back and so i looked up and the answer is uh one like one person through like rather than like the exchanges that were rather than a ceasefire and prisoner exchange, which is freed, I think, upwards of, I think, 130 Israeli hostages.
Starting point is 00:10:52 And then I don't know, countless Palestinian prisoners slash also hostages slash children. And yeah, one. And and so far, I think the tally of how many hostages have been accidentally killed by the idf is while waving a white flag yeah is uh four so far jesus yeah not a good record not a good record yeah the reason i'm looking this up sorry for shameless plug is because i started a new podcast called dad has bara the world's most moral podcast. It is about Israeli propaganda. And you can check that out wherever you get your podcast. I promise it's it's more fun than me just reading facts.
Starting point is 00:11:36 But but sometimes it's not. But it's you know what it is. It's cathartic. If you want to listen to an anti Zionist Jew talk about Israel from his perspective, then yeah, check that out. Yeah. You are one of the best followers for this sort of thing.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Thank you. I love you, dog. I love you, man. What's something you think is overrated? Left-handed people. Whoa. Listen, I just feel like I have gotten to a point in my life where left-handed people keep, it's like they think they're the most special people. Are either of you left-handed? I'm half left.
Starting point is 00:12:14 I'm partially left-handed. Wow. This full claimed. Wow. We're doing blood quantums now? You mean your ambidextrous? Like when I'm leaving a hostage note, I will write. No.
Starting point is 00:12:25 I write and do small gestures with my left hand. So I write, eat, and shave with my left hand. And then everything else I do righty. Throw a ball. All right. So you're a left-handed person. If you're writing with your weird little left-handed crab claw, then. Wait, let me see your left hand matt
Starting point is 00:12:52 this is what it actually it's a literal crab claw it's a literal crab claw as one normal hand and one crab claw called your left hand yeah that's right but you know i just like uh i feel like people who like left-handed people I feel like and I can't prove this But I think it's I think it's true That they have their own like secret little groups And societies where they all like secretly Meet up and they go like we're smarter than the right Hand people right like
Starting point is 00:13:18 Jack you do that right I can't talk about it Yeah see I knew it Meanwhile the rest of us uh normal people right-handed people you know we have to prove our creativity other ways but all you have to do is be left-handed and people are like wow oh i'm jimmy hendrix shut up i'm jimmy hendrix we do we do say that that was dead on I'm Kurt Cobain Keanu Reeves
Starting point is 00:13:47 Oprah Julia Roberts Honestly But you know also Larry Bird and LeBron are left handed Are they? With writing Oh like me

Starting point is 00:14:10 Thanks a lot, Obama. You know those, like, neo-Nazi memes? Where they keep, like, showing people and they'll just put a star of David and they'll be like, this is the person who owns Viacom and all those. Like, obviously, I'm against that and that's all evil, but I want to do that, but for left-handed people. For lefties. Right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:30 And I think we need a symbol just to separate them out. Yeah. Dude, Bill Gates, Cardi B. I'm just telling you. Coincidence? Exactly. Coincidence? That's right.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Four parentheses. Four of them, not three. Three is anti-Semitic. Four is just pointing out who's left-handed. Sorry, I'm noticing. Sandy Koufax? Yeah, I'm like a gripper for grip. I'm a gripper.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Yeah, gripper, but you're only out here being like, shaming the left-handers. Who's the left-hander that brought all this strife to your life? My dad. Oh, thank you. We just got right to the heart of the matter. Yeah. No, I don't need therapy. I already know who fucked my life.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Full lefty. I told you to write with your left, boy. Full lefty. Full lefty. You know, just like always bragging about it. Yeah. I am very ashamed, rightfully so, of my left-handedness. You are.
Starting point is 00:15:32 You're a self-hating lefty. He is a self-hating lefty. I am. Wow. Yeah, but writing is, like, when you look at me writing, like, people wince when they see, like, because I, like, curl my arm all the way around so that I'm writing from the left side.

They all know each other. Miles, they have groups. They have a cabal. Paul McCartney? This does feel like the weirdest group chat.

But in the last like three years or so, so, I've been listening to it because I can't, I can't listen to the daily anymore, unfortunately. Yeah. Because it just, it fills me with rage. Well, yeah, because they're ripping us off. Yeah, because they're ripping it.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Exactly. What else do they do? No, that's it. That's why it's always been that. But I just like that was, it was the final straw. They ripped you off. They started doing footnotes. And I was like, yeah, when Barbaro started opening it with hello, the Internet and welcome to the daily, the daily. um that amy goodman and i was just like you know i i she she does a good job this is like uh you know it it feels very 90s zine yeah but i still am like the fact that there's keeping it going you know like this has been around forever and it's uh you know from a like a leftist perspective and you know people have problems sometimes with the guests they,
Starting point is 00:18:25 they got or whatever, because of whatever problematic, you know, views they have, you know, vis-a-vis Russia or whatever. But I'm, you know,
Starting point is 00:18:34 I, I'll listen to it and I'm just like, no, this is a, you just don't, you don't see this kind of journalism being done on a consistent level without equivocating, without waffling, without like,

Starting point is 00:19:43 Like if you, for like a certain amount it's like it's not an insignificant amount because obviously they're it's like an independent thing but like right you will go to new york and you can have like dinner with amy goodman and conversation it's just like i would do that just to i wouldn't even have dinner i would just be like amy come on, sip this water. Please. She's like, no, this is the longest bubble in broadcast history.

Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back with some news. Give Me For I Have Followed.

Starting point is 00:22:34 of sports and culture. Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her.
Starting point is 00:23:03 What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked
Starting point is 00:23:20 Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. We're back. And I officially know who Nancy Mace is now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:41 I think for the first time. Well, she was also, she wore like the scarlet letter. I don't know if you saw that headline. Yeah. Right after the McCarthy now. Yeah. I think for the first time. Well, she was also, she wore like the, the Scarlet letter. I don't know if you saw that headline right after the McCarthy thing. Anyway, it was just like someone in Congress is wearing a Scarlet letter. I, this is the first time that I'm having to like actually learn. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:57 I now know who Nancy Mace is and it feels irrevocable. Yeah. Granted, I'm pretty impressed with my ability to forget shit from day to day but i think i now know who nancy may yeah i think right now it's a memorable name too yeah yeah almost nancy grace yeah exactly yeah and kind of a similar vibe she also was like a republican who was like january 6th was an abomination until she needed Trump's fucking endorsement. She's like, please, I'm outside of here at Trump Tower on my knees
Starting point is 00:24:28 fighting for my life. Help me. Holding up a toolbox. Yeah. Playing Gloria. Yeah, exactly. But shorthand would be that she is arguably one of the thirstiest members of Congress.
Starting point is 00:24:40 And it's a thirst that cannot be quenched by any known substance on earth. Like she will do anything to be in the spotlight right now, especially because she's been telling people, she's like, I might be able to be VP just off all these stunts I'm pulling right now. And it's actually the duty of her staffers to go on daily quests, quests to quench her media thirst. Her staff handbook leaked last year and the demands are wild it's a quote staff are also expected to book mace at least 15 television appearances per week a minimum of nine spots on national channels uh between one and three times a day and six or more times on local
Starting point is 00:25:17 outlets and also being like you also need to write me bills that so i can like put i think introduce something like 60 bills a year and have at least one uh like written into law which is not easy at all like i think she really doesn't know how like any of this works if she thinks she can get one bill like a year turned into a law yeah this is also the reason she voted to oust kevin mccarthy like not because she even cared she was just like oh shit if i hop on this like they're gonna ask me why and then i can get on the fucking news so she did my name in your mouth yeah please please motherfucker please which leads us to wednesday morning's explosion so hunter biden made a surprise appearance at the house oversight committee uh hearing where republicans were about to approve a resolute
Starting point is 00:26:04 a resolution, quote, holding him in contempt of Congress for refusing to testify, which is wild because Biden was like, yo, I will publicly testify so you can everyone can hear what the fuck I'm saying, because if I do this shit behind closed doors, you're just going to contort my words and say this, that or the other. So I'm willing to do that. So he showed up and was like, just so you remember, I said, I will do this in public. And when he did that, Nancy Mace absolutely lost it. And I just want to play this clip because here's old Nance just going off about the site of this ghost of Biden past Hunter. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Chairman Comer.
Starting point is 00:26:46 First of all, my first question is who bribed Hunter Biden to be here? That's my first question. Second question, you are the epitome of white privilege coming into the oversight committee, spitting in our face, ignoring a congressional subpoena to be deposed. What are you afraid of? You have no balls to come up here and... Mr. Chairman, point of inquiry. Mr. Chairman, if the gentle lady wants to hear from Hunter Biden, we can hear from him right now, Mr. Chairman.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Let's take a vote and hear from Hunter Biden. What are you afraid of? Are women allowed to speak in here? Are women allowed to speak in here? I love this mixture. This mixture of like half of it is just like, this is, you know, it's, you are misogynistic. You're not letting me speak. And then also just random QAnon stuff
Starting point is 00:27:33 where, you know, it was just like, you know, you clearly have like a pedophile ring under a pizza shop. Like this is clearly- You got no balls, bro. Also that mixed in. Yeah, you got no balls i'm like i've seen them i just like that she goes first question who bribed him second question get ready actually a statement you are the epitome of white privilege yeah wait yeah and

Starting point is 00:28:49 new to me yeah and i'm watching it and it and it's making me once again want to tune out no i don't need to know i don't need to know about these people they're still they're still on this hunter biden thing Yeah. It's wild. Both parties are so fucking far off base. It's like laughable. You know what I mean? Like no one knows what actually matters to anyone. They're like, it's Hunter Biden's ball sack on one side.
Starting point is 00:29:16 And the other people are like, have you heard of Bidenomics? And also democracy is in peril. Yeah. Full stop. Nothing else to add. That's it. That's. Nothing else to add. That's it. That's our observation about right now.
Starting point is 00:29:34 And now, I mean, I realize that I live in a bubble and, you know, everyone's got their own little news bubble. But everything everyone is saying feels like they're, it's like, I don't even know what you guys care about right anymore yeah what is it right yeah you say like democracy is under attack i'm like yeah you mean because of like lobbying they're like no no because trump oh okay democracy is under attack why because like the the like voters are saying they want things like you, universal health care or codified abortion into law, like things like that. No, because Trump, Trump bad. Yeah. Remember, Trump's still alive. Wait, so what can y'all can y'all define what this democracy is that we need to say?
Starting point is 00:30:16 What makes something democracy? I just want to know. And can you tell me what the what's the cost benefit analysis here on this? And can you tell me what's the cost-benefit analysis here on this? What do we get out of it? Because a lot of things we're yearning for haven't quite come through this process. It sounds like questions from some people who don't have balls. You make a good point.
Starting point is 00:30:36 You make a good point. These are ball-less questions. He's got no balls to come up here. Yeah. Okay. Okay. But, yeah, I love the, you have no balls. And also, guys, stop being misogynistic.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Yeah, exactly. It's like, I don't think you're all right. I don't think you, I think the epitome of white privilege thing also blows my mind. Like, yes. What are you? Okay. Who is that for? I don't know that's who's that for you think trump's watching and going yes sister yes and he's snapping yeah cook his ass cook his ass yeah get his alabaster ass honey i bet he has a pretty well tanned ass to be honest i feel like it's a lot yeah oh boy yeah all right yeah i mean that just in my imagination where it appears just in my
Starting point is 00:31:33 imagination oh yeah hunter's biden butt is tan okay i didn't get that right but anyway that's good though i tried i swung and it was amazing. Yeah, you got a swing. All right, just a quick check-in with the world of Wall Street. So basically, the name that people use for projects that are done because the world is coming to an end, like capitalism is causing the end of the world, is ESG, environmental, social, governmental. And the UN started using that about 20 years ago and wall street picked it up and it uh there's a wall street journal article that's basically like yeah we
Starting point is 00:32:14 can't say that we're those three letters anymore that's a bad word now and it's not because there was like some major fuck up or like scandal that gave esg a bad name, they are objecting to that phrase on the basis that like those projects aren't profitable. And there was a backlash from investors to these projects that are designed to not be like to do things because they're the right thing to do instead of for the purpose of profitability they instead of saying yes so like one guy came and he was like yeah i'm trying to figure out like what i'm supposed to say here i'm a ceo like what and they're like what you should say is as little as possible basically you need to keep to keep your good deeds a fucking secret if you want to keep your job, which is not super encouraging. The idea of projects that need to be invested in
Starting point is 00:33:15 because they do good and not because they're profitable is just never going to be popular in Wall Street. And I think there is a debate about like whether you can cure what ails us with capitalism intact or whether you need to just disassemble the shit to get anything done and i you know this would certainly be a vote in favor of capitalism as the problem and you can't solve the problem with the problem. Yeah. Well, listen, I think market forces have always been a force for good. And I think that if we just let the invisible hand of the free market
Starting point is 00:33:54 figure out what humans are supposed to survive and what humans aren't supposed to survive. Who makes it in the bunkers. It's worked to this point extremely well without fail. I mean, listen, you can go to McDonald's and get a McDonald's whenever you want a McDonald's. That's true. But can you afford it?
Starting point is 00:34:14 And also, that's not our problem. Well, you could eventually, McDonald's will have McDonald's bucks. Right. So you know the Monopoly game sometimes. Right. You win a mcdonald's so i think what my point being you let the piggies fight over the feed and then you and your fellow farmers you build a society away from the uh the pigs yeah and the big news is that you used to have to pretend you were doing something good for them.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Now you keep that a secret, a.k.a. you just don't do the shit. Yeah, because then you don't want other people to start trying to do that. And everyone's like competing for that. That's not the kind of competition we want. There's only one kind of capital and it's money. We're not going to talk about social capital or you know public capital you know like this is just this is just money all right yeah yeah it's it's just i mean i think this is so terribly predictable right because like this is just like with everything that happened after
Starting point is 00:35:18 the summer of 2020 and companies were like we hear you okay we understand that like there's some serious inequality and some serious inequities going on at this company that we need to address it's like every fucking company and then like 10 months later they're like all right we're done with this shit right yeah okay okay we're good we're good we just had to say that in the beginning bro we don't have to follow through on this spent a year going we at twix can't breathe either yeah right we want left twix and right twix to realize that we are just twix you are we're only listening yeah exactly yeah two twits no more of this attitude of two for me and none for you yeah all right yeah it's now egalitarian and now it has been redesigned as one big unified Twix.
Starting point is 00:36:06 One long Twix. One Twix. One long Twix. It's one Twick. One Twick. Turned into a Twick. A singular Twick. Yeah, a singular Twick.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Oh, y'all want that thick Twick, huh? Okay, we hear you. We heard you. We heard you. Welcome to thick Twick for all of y'all. This is equality. Yeah. Now Twix is just going to sell a wrapper with nothing in it.

Starting point is 00:39:37 iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by diet coke and we're back and the internet has been aflame over a couple videos where it was revealed that a sect of a hasidic community in Crown Heights, Brooklyn were like, it's, it's tough to say, like, were they digging tunnels?
Starting point is 00:40:08 Were they like, did they break through a wall to get to a, like already existent space? It did seem like they were pretty extensive. And there is a video of a Hasidic gentleman, like coming up out of the street like a ninja turtle yeah looking like a goddamn goonies and then when the cops like found out and like raided the building they were like kind of pissed
Starting point is 00:40:42 they're like what the fuck you mean we can't have tunnels and it was just kind of it was it was a lot of fun uh obviously anytime something like this happens just the anti-semitism isn't far behind yeah yeah unfortunately neo-nazis latched onto it for like you know they they took what was a fun little story about about like crown heights shul that does not care about zoning permits right and they made it into like some rabidly antisemitic Jewish tunnels yeah yes exactly yeah the the amount of tweets that were like being like this is what it's really about you're like oh lord oh god i know rather than like an explanation because like when you dig into it right like at this specific synagogue like there are these like 20 or 30 guys who believe that the
Starting point is 00:41:35 founding rabbi is like the messiah and they're like they needed to expand the synagogue the size of it so this is just like a misguided attempt to be like if y'all aren't gonna do it fuck it we'll just break through underground and make some more space uh it's just so fucking wild though like the whole the that clip of the dude coming out it always made me wonder like when you see spy movies or some shit like that it's like you can't low-key just hop out from the underground yeah you know what i mean like on a busy street and then play that shit off. Like, the second your head starts popping out and somebody's walking by, they're like, yo, what the fuck is this? What's going on right here?
Starting point is 00:42:11 The guy who was popping out, he was trying to be like, well, like, trying to turn his back and be like, can't get my face. If I were him, I would have been like, no one's gonna believe you, bro. Right. I went to New York and I swear to God, I saw Jews coming out from holes in the ground. Like, no one would believe it.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Good luck with that. Good luck with that. You'd be like, okay. Yeah. They're going to say it's a deep fake, even if you show them this video. Yeah. I personally saw these videos, and I was, like, heartened by them because I was like, you know, like, Jews make tunnels. Palestinians make tunnels.estinians make
Starting point is 00:42:45 tunnels right yeah like we are truly cousins you know i think the real like there's a lot of conversation so there's like a the kind of theological explanation that miles was getting into of like that there's this messiah figure that like they're trying there's also like some of them said they're down there to study which which, you know, OK, makes as much sense as any other. Other people couldn't notice that the tunnels were like around the women's wing of like the shul. So there's always a chance it was just a good old fashioned jerk off tunnel. Who knows? You know, just a regular jack off tunnel i think there's also the very real explanation that there's something deeply human that longs to dig tunnels and crawl through tunnels
Starting point is 00:43:32 like on the one level my response is like oh that's wild like i've never seen a more surreal video of just a human popping out of a like street in new york uh and like i've you know walking having lived in new York, you walk over these grates and you look down and you're like, what the fuck is going on down there? Yeah, why is there steam? What is coming up through these tunnels? What are those sounds?
Starting point is 00:43:56 Who is cooking down there? Why does it smell so good? Are people chilling without me? Are they roasting nuts down under the street? Why does it smell so good is something fun happening yeah hey let me know down there hey but i crawled through tunnels as a kid like that like i loved tunnels like i had a creek that ran past my house and went under a street through a like cement tunnel that then like branched into tunnels that went under people's houses.
Starting point is 00:44:27 I think those are called sewage tunnels, unfortunately, but I didn't know that at the time. I was like, I'm a Goonies. I'm a Goonies with hepatitis. Exactly. Hep C. Get checked out. But it was, I don't know i just i think i love tunnels yes and i i think uh my friend ben ziggy said like all of this boils down to the masculine urge to dig yeah there's just something about you know the freedom of digging a tunnel because not only is it like this, like it's, you don't ask why, you know?
Starting point is 00:45:06 And it's like, why? Because I did. Why do we dig? Because a hole must be made. Why? Because I must dig. And then it's a singular one direction kind of task.
Starting point is 00:45:20 And at the end of it, if you do it right, you've got a new place to throw a kicker yeah right you know chilling in the tunnel dude have you seen fucking matt's tunnel dude that shit is sick bro he like reinforced it with fucking home depot buckets and shit that shit is pretty chill dude it's like legit this is a legit fucking that's a legit tunnel that's like one of the best tunnels i've seen no i would love to see a tunnel trend where everyone just kind of realizes like why aren't we just you know if you own your property you know yeah which i don't i rent but if i owned it i would be like here i'm gonna do a tunnel here
Starting point is 00:45:57 let's make a tunnel at least a small network of tunnels you know like then we could all hang out each other's houses and there'll be no traffic right until you actually learn what like i remember like as a kid like seeing it in cartoons you're like oh yeah you'd be digging this shit that's it then you realize you actually have to like excavate and do something with all the displaced shit that you've like dug up and you're like no it's a whole it's a whole thing now now you just drop it through your pants uh shushing stuff right oh yeah yeah yeah you gotta, yeah. Just drop it out. You got to pour it in your pocket, which is also good for the jack-off tunnel. Thousands of sitting Jews in Crown Heights. Just like, you see them shaking their pants.
Starting point is 00:46:32 You're like, why is there like sediment and rock coming out of their pants? Yeah. Like, every time they have like this softball game where they all play together. And every guy who's up at bat is just shaking out a lump of dirt. But like, to your point right this tunnel thing there was a dude it was reported like a few days ago in brazil this 71 year old brazilian dude fell to his fucking death after digging a ridiculously deep tunnel straight down in his kitchen straight down into the earth yeah because he was convinced there was gold down there
Starting point is 00:47:02 it sounded like he was probably having some kind of issues because he was like convinced he's like people were telling him there was gold down there there in fact was not and he was convinced there was gold down there. It sounded like he was probably having some kind of issues because he was like convinced these like people were telling him there was gold down there. There, in fact, was not. And he was like paying people to fucking go even deeper and deeper. And then did you see the TikTok tunnel lady? Oh, yeah. She got shut down. She got shut down. And that's another one where, again, so many people were captivated by just someone being like, fuck it, y'all.
Starting point is 00:47:23 I'm going to make a legit fucking tunnel she says she's an engineer and like when you look at the actual like construction of it it's pretty legit like she was building like air ducts like all kinds of shit like a whole other like a cistern system because she hit a spring it was like a very legit tunnel in like to your point matt like it was shut down by the authorities in Northern Virginia, but she says she's pretty confident like she can get the proper approvals because like even in constructing it,
Starting point is 00:47:50 she was doing it like to her, I guess from her perspective, a very sound way. It looked like it was a well-made tunnel. And like, so like, you know, I mean, what do I know from tunnels? But I looked at it and I said like, That's legit.
Starting point is 00:48:04 She's not trying to, you i said like that's legit she's not trying to you know like she she's acting as if she had a permit yeah so all that's left is a piece of paper exactly i mean i'm sure you got to get like a tunnel guy to come in there and be like is this tunnel up to code but i'll get you a tunnel guy man oh i can get you a tunnel you need somebody just me and a fake mustache with like in a way you know a tunnel guy i got your tunnel guy jack just turns his back to you and then puts him in there hey i'm your tunnel guy what's going on james tunnel they're named after me tunnel actually it's french but it really i i think that this is like remember there was a story we covered a while back where like Brad Pitt was just like digging up his French estate looking for gold in and like there, there were just like tunnels all over his, like one of his properties because someone had told him there was gold. this urge this deeply human urge yes to dig tunnels everywhere yes maybe not we're all but there is a certain type of sickness that exists in like the deep young yin like
Starting point is 00:49:15 underground of the human soul just like in our lizard brain yeah know, it's like we want to dig down. Run, shed skin, dig. Dig. Yeah. Dig and dig. It's in our nature to dig. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's like one of the hands for digging.
Starting point is 00:49:33 It's just like the, one of the few ways you can truly feel like you are actually like breaking new ground and, and going somewhere where others have not, even if it is just like digging like a five foot hole in your backyard to bury stuff in. And there's a safety, like, I don't know. I have said before,
Starting point is 00:49:50 I feel like I have the opposite of claustrophobia. Like I feel good when I'm in like a tight, like I sleep on my face. Like a hamster. Yeah. I like, I like being just like, you know,
Starting point is 00:50:00 in a small space, confined and the earth. Do you have a weighted blanket? No, but my wife does and then I just lay on top of her. We're all just mushing. There's a lot of mushing happening. Closer!
Starting point is 00:50:17 Get closer! Hey, son, put those dictionaries on my back. Get in here and bury me. And my dumbbells bring them bury your dad yeah come on just bring that anaconda i want to be squeezed yeah my ultimate way to go yeah that yeah you just keep watching the crucible that giles corey scene where they're crushing more weight number of times i've jacked off to that thing. I'll tell you what.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Yeah. Hell yeah. Hell yeah, brother. I think you and I are the same. We both get horny being eaten by a snake. All right. Let's talk about the big Taylor Swift conspiracy theory. They're suspicious of her popularity. No. As often like they're they're always suspicious of like hollywood when hollywood makes a big movie
Starting point is 00:51:10 and they're like what the fuck's going on here right and because when they try to make a big comedy movie it ends up not not going so well but anyways they know, her Time magazine cover was interpreted by far right media figures as evidence of her role as a covert government operative. And now Fox News is like really doing their best to run with this. Tucker Carlson dedicated an entire segment of his show to exposing how the Pentagon had secretly recruited Taylor Swift as an asset. You got to hear his words like just just his delivery here is fucking it's just I don't even know what the fuck he thinks is going on here. It's like it feels like his show is like at least partially like maybe he thinks he's like the daily show or something like i don't even know what his show is sometimes i just see clips of it and i'm just like what who is this is this a comedy show or is this just he also gets dunked on by his own family like yeah his mom calls in and is like jesse you should be ashamed of yourself be good
Starting point is 00:52:23 yeah be a force for good not a force for dumb shit anyway here's this is how he this is how he opens uh the barrage uh against taylor swift well taylor swift's the biggest star in the world sorry gutfeld she's been blanketed across the sports media entertainment atmosphere the new york times just speculated she's a lesbian and last year's tour what broke ticket master a tour that's revenue tops the GDP of 50 countries. I mean, I like her music. She's all right. But I mean, have you ever wondered why or how she blew up like this? Right. Well, around four years ago, the Pentagon Psychological Operations Unit floated, turning Taylor Swift into an asset during a NATO meeting. What kind of asset?
Starting point is 00:53:06 A PSYOP for combating online misinformation. Listen. Okay, so he's about to cut away to a clip of what he claims is the Pentagon floating the idea of somehow someone got a camera into a secret Pentagon meeting where they're floating the idea of cultivating Taylor Swift, an already successful near billionaire musician, pop culture figure,
Starting point is 00:53:34 bringing her in to work with the Pentagon, something that a cool pop culture, you know, figure would definitely want to do. Yeah, absolutely. Also, can we just say like his
Starting point is 00:53:46 the premise of this entire segment opening with you ever wonder how she got so popular yeah like no no abundantly wonder how like a hot skinny blonde girl who sings good and writes songs got popular what the fuck are you talking about i gotta say even that clip of her like getting the hot goss that what's her name one of the kardashians yeah kylie jenner shut down a photo op with selena gomez or whatever yeah with selena gomez like her reaction everything about it is just like i don't know it's like a a great performance every everything she does is just like a pitch perfect performance of taylor swiftness it's crazy i'd never have once the only thing i've wondered at is like how she manages to just like be this way all the time not like why it's
Starting point is 00:54:38 popular you dumb fuck no yeah it's like the the only thing that i questioned was how someone with actual talent got famous in the first place. Do some people like her too much? Yeah. And that probably has to do with the fact that we don't have religion anymore. Right, exactly. We have no royals. This is America. All our celebrities are our queens.
Starting point is 00:55:04 We got Elvis and we got have, this is America. All our celebrities are our queens. We got Elvis and we got this. It's like, you know, this is it. But it's, it's just so, the idea that you can tell people to like something and they'll like it, like, is just so dumb. Right. If that were true, the Republicans would have, like, had so much more success than they have. Right. Well, I think it's also that there's still, you know, cause back before she was like kind of being ambiguous about her politics.
Starting point is 00:55:29 Remember they were like, yo, she's our fucking Aryan queen. Yeah. Like, we know like she's keeping it hush hush. And then she was like, Hey,
Starting point is 00:55:37 register to vote. Cause these people are like fucking gross. They're like, fuck you. You fucking psyop. Fuck. Okay. I think she might like truck fuck you you have to remember that booth willie style 180 yeah for the for the right wing the intelligence state if it's not working in their particular white supremacist interest, then the intelligence state is trying to do woke.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Yeah. It's, it's trying to make your kids gay. Yeah. You know, like, so just remember that critique that the right wing has said, it's going to be about,
Starting point is 00:56:18 you know, Oh, so maybe the CIA fucking plan it unless, you know, it's someone who loves Trump. And then they're like, right. I mean, co-intel pro was cool. yeah yeah like taylor sometimes fbi does good sometimes they
Starting point is 00:56:32 do good stuff like breaking up civil rights movements and assassinating people the so the video that he cuts away to is of a 2019 event in which the Pentagon's PSYOP unit pitches NATO on the idea of turning Taylor Swift into an asset. Wait, sorry, that's not even close to what it is. The woman giving the presentation is not a Pentagon employee specializing in PSYOP work, rather a research engineer in applied physics at Johns Hopkins University. So the other people, the other people on stage weren't from the department of defense either. They're from like Mozilla, the Firefox browser.
Starting point is 00:57:13 And there is someone from the British army. Ah, ah. So what is he doing there? Yeah. All right. That's six much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:23 Yeah. But yeah, it's just... And she's like, wouldn't it be cool if you could leverage social media to change people's mind? Dude, that would be so sick. I hope no one ever thinks of that. Yes, exactly. In 2019.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Social media marketing? Yeah. They also introduced a slide featuring depictions of several Game of Thrones characters being like, what if Daenerys Targaryen was a spy for the Democrats? What if instead of doing a quiz to find out what Hogwarts house you are, we do a quiz to find out how susceptible you are to being a Manchurian candidate? Yeah, exactly. Okay. Using Jon Snow. candidate yeah exactly okay using john snow they're saying what if you could use social media influencers to battle misinformation and yeah that that is the overall idea but he's like
Starting point is 00:58:14 i mean they've done it before they used louis armstrong and you know michael jackson elvis nina simone They used them all. And it's just like they used a Louis Armstrong tour and a Nina Simone tour as like a front to like do CIA work. Oh, is that right? Yeah. Which, of course. Did Nina know? I don't feel like Nina knew.
Starting point is 00:58:39 I think they were deceived and also like strong armed by the CIA. Yeah. But, and then Elvis, obviously we've talked about how he went to. Well, yeah, yeah. He knew he demanded,
Starting point is 00:58:50 he like went to the FBI. He demanded I be part of this. Yeah. I want to be a PSYOP. What's up? I'd like a badge and gun, please. And then Michael Jackson was given an award by Ronald Reagan for his work in an anti-drinking and driving campaign.
Starting point is 00:59:06 And Ronald Reagan said, Michael Jackson is taking time to help lead the fight against alcohol and drug abuse. You think Ronald Reagan inviting Michael Jackson to the White House to give him an award for preventing abuse wouldn't be something Fox News would want to highlight? But that's what they don't. Well, you know that they only believe in child abuse if it happens in the basement of a pizza shop. That's right. Every other
Starting point is 00:59:32 noted and case with evidence, they're just like, op, fake. That's a sigh op. This is also just like some shit that was tweeted by a racist troll on social media mike benz the former state department official but like just a racist troll at this point who posted the same clip on twitter and even his post soon warranted a community note that the claim is
Starting point is 01:00:00 false and he was like this is a good primary source to to work from yeah god like and also like what i'm curious if like if they're gonna go further what exactly did the people in langley virginia like what are the orders for this operation taylor swift become massively popular and like just cape for like semi-progressive things or not at all and that's the entirety of it or just yeah or make republicans look bad tay get out there yeah yeah it's it's weird to you know like if she had like politics, then, you know, maybe. But her politics seem to be, like, pretty milquetoast. It's just like, you know, she... I mean, not that it's not good.
Starting point is 01:00:53 She, as a huge superstar, her being out there and saying, like, you know, we need to not have Trump as president. And I feel strongly about that. Very good. And I'm pro that. But it's just like, you know, I don't think you need the CIA to make a celebrity say lib stuff. That's like their baseline, except for Israel, of course. Yeah. It's all an op.
Starting point is 01:01:19 It's all an op. It's all an op. But if you want to see what it looks like for the government and to work with the media to try to make a thing happen and how successful that is, I will direct you to Mike Pence's career. And what was the last Bush guy? Please clap. George W. Jeb. Jeb. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:42 You can't just make a thing happen because you want it to, because it's good for the rich and the powerful. Like you can try, you can spend a lot of money to attempt that, you know, but at the end of the day, you know, this, this idea that like someone out there has the magic code, the magic combination of words that like, no, the CIA knows what words to use to do this so that they hypnotize. It's like these same people also believe in like pickup artist shit. Yeah, totally. They're nagging us into being libs. Yeah, exactly. Like they think that there is a combination of words that'll make any hot woman fall in love with you. And it's working even on me. I'm starting to like her songs.
Starting point is 01:02:31 Yeah. I think Shake It Off works. Yeah. It's got to be the CIA. That song slaps too good to not be enough. Right. The creators of all the best pop songs. What, the players want to play?
Starting point is 01:02:43 I mean, what the fuck fuck what do you think that means dude there actually was a list of songs someone i god i need to look this up but someone pointed out there was a list of songs that that have come out over the last like 50 years with cia co-writing credits uh but none of them were like particularly good or successful. Right. I need to look this up. There's the winds of change, the scorpion song. Is that right?
Starting point is 01:03:12 There is a whole podcast about how that may have been a CIA op. Yes, yes, that's yes. Yeah. Because it was like at the time of the fall of the Berlin Wall and they were like, let's make this cool. But that was like such a weird time where everybody was like super susceptible to, I don't know, like Reagan speaking. And to liking songs by the Scorpions. Yeah, exactly.

Miles, there's not a song you think people might enjoy, is there? I was just saying, we were just talking about the joys of digging and being under the ground and the comfort that it brings us.
Starting point is 01:08:46 So it just reminded me of this Ben Folds 5 song I heard in eighth grade. Oh, I'm not going to do Dig by Mudvayne. There were so many. I was like, what do we do? Six underground? What do we do? So many things. But this one is called Underground by Ben Folds 5.
Starting point is 01:09:01 But this is the live version. Check out the live version because it's just, I don't know. I think that was the only version I knew. I know it's on an album. But it's Underground. And, you know, the hook is saying, we can be happy underground. That's true. And that's the only option.
Starting point is 01:09:15 That applies for, I guess, underground and nowhere else. Billionaires, too, with their bunkers. All roads lead underground, folks. Maybe we could tunnel into their bunkers. They'd probably be cool about that. I'd be like, oh, hi. I'd be just like, why don't we just plug up their air tubes?
Starting point is 01:09:32 Yeah. Be like, oh yeah, didn't think about this vulnerability. You need outside air. Yeah. No diggity, no doubt. Hey. Play on, play it. Well, The Daily Zeke Is a production of
