1920 Olympics, I will win
Compete in the high
Jump the 20 inch
Vert sucks

In the drone
Like I'm Jordan
Okay now that is
A reference to
A past episode
Where I said
I could probably win
A gold medal
In the 1920s
Like the Olympics
Of the 1920s
Because I feel like
My body now
Could be a top athlete
So shout out to
Rumham McDuck
For putting that together
with a little bit of House of Pain.
Because I think I could maybe do a track or field event.
In the, like, 28, 1928 Olympics, I think I could get medals in something.
The amount of shit of, like, time and tape in my brain
that that song has taken up, Jump Around, like, is, it's unfair.
Like, it's an accident of history.
Just, it was a popular rap song when I was first getting into rap.
And it's bullshit.
I remember at a, at a kid, like, at a birthday party when I was, like, in sixth grade, Jump Around came on.
And, like, they were like, all right, keep jumping.
And, like, it almost became, like, a fucking contest with all the kids of who could jump throughout the whole motherfucking song
no matter what yo my next the next day my calves had never like that was my first that was my first
experience with like an overuse injury as a child was trying to jump throughout the like as fucking high as i could the entire fucking song
yeah i did i jumped around to that song at a school dance and then like some cool like i was
in like sixth grade and some cool seventh grader told my sister that i was like jumping around like
a fool at the dance and she was like she like told me it was like it got back to her oh no
so i don't think i didn't hear about your
thirsty little jumping ass at the dance that was basically it anyways shout out to my older sister
who is one of my best friends and the best but back then she she was cooler than me, and she held that shit over my head.
And I was just like, yeah, whatever you say.
Okay, cool, cool.
Anyways, Miles, we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by a hilarious comedian, actor, and creator.

year i'm fucking watching everything so and you know i was gonna want like mario lopez all right

because you weren't like you weren't going doing your full comedic shit you were like actually like acting in this christmas film i don't know this fucking guy fucking everywhere
right now but i gotta say what's what's mario lopez like oh yeah he's good he definitely works
out but uh no no he's cool man he's just the best way i can describe him is that he's like a machine
you know he's like on another he's got like five assistants around him doing this.
He's waking up at five in the morning to hit the gym and studying his lines.
And even at the hotel, we were like,
cause it was right in the heart of pandemic.
It was actually the first like a union thing that was allowed during the
pandemic.
So we were staying right on the border of uh nevada and california in tahoe
because yeah yeah it was and so because nevada what was gonna allow us to film but not california
so we were like right at the edge right there and um i remember it was it was dope because i was
kind of bummed out i was like you know all the stand-up was gone. Everything was shut down.
And then, you know, I was like, still, you know, we had food getting delivered to our doorstep and all that shit.
So it wasn't that crazy.
But I was just like, oh, man, like, this is a bummer.
And then, you know, then I auditioned for that thing just on Zoom or whatever.
And then they're like, yeah, you got it.
And it got put, kept getting pushed.
But finally we did it.
And it was like in July of 2020, right in the heat of everything. just bubbled us up in this they bought out like this whole hotel and uh god was
it carson i think it's carson's oh carson city like i think that's what it was yeah yeah but um

you turn on your tv in the hotel he's on that shit too yeah yeah talking about like some movie
that you get to watch. Yeah.
It's so funny.
Because it's every hotel you go into, the TV turns on.
It's the first full.
You see, I always joke around with him about that.
I'm like, ah, shit, you don't get on me yet.
I can't get away from you.
Right.
Well, I have been called a poor man's Mario Lopez because of my performance at the iHeart Podcast Awards.
I replaced Mario Lopez one year because he was too busy to do it.
And the one review of the show was like,
last year's Mario Lopez was replaced
by some guy in a jean jacket.
Oh.
It was just,
they just ripped all my wardrobe.
I was like, damn.
Is it the same jean jacket you're wearing right now?
Same ass.
Yeah, I only got one, man.
He knew you were coming.
I'm not the rich man's Mario Lopez.
CJ.
He wore that to kind of tie in the Mario Lopez story.
Yeah, yeah.
I just wanted to see if you were going to say I was the poor man's Mario Lopez.
Funny, my man, that you mentioned him.
All right, Frankie, we're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment.
First, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today.
At first, we're going to tell our listeners a couple of the things we're talking about today.
People are asking about, like, price checks, like, you know, some sort of price limit on gas.
I'm asking about it on flights now because the Wall Street Journal has an article today that's like,
man, airlines have found people will pay for fucking anything.
So they're going to just keep charging you through your asshole and it's like written as like a good news for airlines type of story and so i just want to ask
the question like why corporations can just charge whatever they want to the point that they're like
driving a wave of inflation and as they're like pulling in record profits so we'll ask that we'll have a conversation
i'm in no way smart enough to have we will talk about this segment called calculations
what's up with that there's a a new variant just dropped we might check in with that
we'll talk about the audacity of hate groups all of that plenty more but first
frankie we do like to ask our guest what is something from your search history oh yeah i was
it was funny as i i didn't even know i was like i haven't had to look up my search history and
then this morning when i was like oh i need to know that i looked up i mean i just googled
google search history and then my search history popped up.
There you go.
But it was funny.
I saw it.
I saw it out there like a couple of days ago.
I Googled the David Archuleta.
You remember that little homie from American Idol?
He was all like that.
Oh, hey.
Oh, you know, like.
Right, right, right, right.
A little young, cute homie.
But I don't know why.
I was just like, man, what does that pull up to?
I don't know why I thought of him.
Yeah, yeah. And I looked it up and yeah, he's still out there doing it right yeah you know you remember i'm talking about right yeah dude it's like he just had one just
you know one of those people who had a very specific moment and then gone yeah yeah what's
he up to yeah i looked it up and i was like he seemed like he was gonna pop
because he was a came in second place you know usually like the top five or whatever got something
but he did drop like a record and he went on uh you know his like mormon missionary thing for two
years uh so he would just out the game for two whole years okay and then he did went and did
that which i kind of respect that you know and. And then he came back and, yeah, he's still doing like little tours and stuff.
So he's out there, man.
Man.
For a second, I thought you said, like, you're talking about the football player, Adam Archuleta.
And I was like, oh, I remember him when he was on the Rams.
There was this clip.
I remember my friends would talk about how his hamstrings were so strong, like he could like lift himself up from like a lying position just using his hamstring.
Yeah, we were like yo this is
fucking wild anyway like he's all like right risen from the dead yeah just like
you're like oh shit no no i'd like to see david archuleta try that shit okay yeah yeah yeah who's
it's not a competition yeah like i was searching Adam Archuleta, actually, and he is stronger.
He has stronger hamstrings.
David Archuleta got the good-ass hair, but he don't have hamstrings like that, though.
Exactly.
I mean, so when he was on American Idol, he was like a child, right?
It was like a Bieber type thing?
Yeah, it was like when he first saw him, yeah him yeah he was like and he was but he started
playing into the like oh i'm the little cute homie like a little too hard it started kind of getting
cheesy like across the line from like oh man's too super likable to like all right homie come on
they would ask questions like hey so you know what do you think about your friend
ah well you know like uh you know you, it was like, calm down, homie. Right.
They're like, thank you.
Right.
We get it to a point.
He's 30 now.
He's in his 30s.
Yeah.
I wonder how that shit plays now.
Probably not good.
If you're like rubbing your mitts, like, well, you know.
Why would you think you qualify for this bank loan?
You know.
Well, you know.
Yeah.
You know, I just.
I work hard. I love my family my family see what my net worth is i mean it seems like a pretty safe loan for you guys i don't know i wonder if anyone's ever done a list
of like careers that are interrupted by the mormon mission like the sacrifices that people put in for
that because like sean Sean Bradley, right?
He was going to be one of the top picks.
He was still like number two, but he was number two coming off of his Mormon mission.
Like, remember?
He was like, he stopped playing basketball to do his mission.
Yeah.
I just remember writing Sean Bradley off pretty quickly.
I'm sorry that's what
just what i did like this guy is too tall and the best he'll do b is like a monster in space yeah
yeah i think i remember i think i heard on a basketball podcast they all like run together
in my head but like somebody's saying that like when you look at his metrics on defense he he's
like one of the best to ever do it but he was just very like quick
quick moment when he was peak yeah what is what's something you think is overrated
like tv shows and shit but i don't want to like you know yeah yeah i mean like the big bank theories
all that shit or even though i mean you guys might love big bank theory
i don't know miles kind of but between my holiday movie consumption no don't fuck with the bbt that's
big theory i think is extra like probably like it's hard for people who work in comedy because it is the comedy that like most
relatives are like oh you are doing comedy dude do you love the big bang theory my mom and dad
they love big bang theory and they're from like the hood and shit and they're like
not me we love big bang theory i'm like what the fuck yeah and my parents yeah yeah but it's it's
funny though when it's on and you're there
i'll still like giggle at it and stuff but i'm like damn this is the number one
thing it's got like no like you know me right no steez and shit but but i can't you know
it's all one love shit i don't want to hate on it yeah i like that the the surprise in miles's
face when we revealed our parents love Big Bang Theory because Miles has cool parents. That's an
underrated thing about Miles is like he
comes from a very cool background
so he doesn't know what it's like to have
parents be like, oh,
comedy? Oh, shit, man.
They're like, comedy? Yo, you better check out
Fry and Lori.
And I'm like, what? Steve Fry and Lori?
This was him before House. I'm like, what the fuck?
No.
I will keep watching and Living Color reruns.
Oh, yeah.
I love Living Color.
Yeah.
What's something you think is underrated?
Oh, fucking, the thing I just came up on recently was toilet seat warmers.
Wow.
Game changer, homie.
And you could get some for like, you know, 30, 40 bucks.
You can get the whole bidet seat warmer set up for under 100 bucks.
My girlfriend's brother, like, came and installed some.
And it changed my whole world.
And I'm like, damn, how come everybody doesn't have one of these?
Yeah.
And it's not a big commitment or nothing.
It's just a little thing you attach to the bottom of your, you know, the rim.
Right.
It's not someone you pay to do that, to come sit on your toilet before you have to the bottom of your you know the rim right and uh it's not someone you pay to
do that to come sit on your toilet before you have to go i come up off this man i gotta go
right like ding dong ah go open the door for the toilet seat warmer yeah he's here
before we have our coffee and shit yeah right oh man yeah the the toilet seat warmer because
you know a lot i think one of the big things right
came i'm pretty sure it came from japan i'm half japanese and i know like when my family over there
was talking about how like in the winter the toilet seat would be so cold like elderly people
if they had to like you know sit on the toilet and like in the middle of the night or something
the shock from the temperature change would be like, Oh, like would be so much for people that they're like, we need to actually
have a way for people to go in a cold environment and not sit down on straight ice and like
comfortably be able to use the bathroom. Growing up in LA, I never had really the experience of a
frozen toilet seat, but there is something nice when it's like, I don't have to adjust. Okay.
I'm just, I'm in here and it's
comfortable it's like getting into bed i just got out of yeah yeah it's man i didn't yeah i never
even thought about it and then i'm like damn it's so inexpensive and it's so comfortable
yeah you just keep it out to a sheet one of the sponsors i think yeah do not yeah they were they
were sponsored for a while i think they sent us a toad seat warmer that i have yet to install
so i might need to get your brother-in-law's number yeah well for those you just got to make
sure you have an electrical outlet by your toilet which is kind of tough because most
people in the u.s don't build an outlet like right behind their toilet right which is kind
of like the seamless way to do this if you know if you want to do a seamless you know a little
yeah electrician light electrician work to put a little yeah you gotta you gotta sometimes
get a little slick extension cord from the blow
dryer outlet. Right.
Keep it right by the
shower and be like, don't get that shit wet.
Just a generator. Just have a generator
in there with you.
Just rip that cord.
Jenny.
You're like, man, I can't really take a shit with the door
closed because I'll die from the funeral
so uh it's kind of it's kind of a tough one yeah we have a toilet that has like a small window in
there like a little separate like room for the toilet with like a small window and i caught
myself like you know with the window open making noise as people were going by not like making
noise like oh but you know like fl you know, like flushing the toilet.
Like flushing the toilet.
Oh, okay.
And, like, you're like, oh, man, like, people on the street can definitely hear that shit.
Yeah.
It's like walking by and hearing shit, just hearing my bathroom noises.
There he goes again.
There he goes again.
Try prune juice, man.
Straining in there.
Yeah.
All right.

This summer, the nation watched
as the Republican nominee for president
was the target of two assassination attempts
separated by two months. These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President
Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks. President Gerald R. Ford
came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today. And these are the only two times
we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.
One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson.
I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman.
The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.
Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.
The story of one strange and violent summer.
This is Rip Current.
Available now with new episodes every Thursday.
Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I've been thinking about you.
I want you back in my life.
It's too late for that.
I have a proposal for you. Come up here and in my life. It's too late for that. 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.
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.
We're not hurting people.
There's nothing dangerous about what you're doing.
They're just dreams.

And we're back.
and we're back and you know this is something that we we've talked about throughout the period of inflation that we're going through the fact that the inflation is being driven by corporations
being like i don't know they they just keep paying and then coming out like bragging about it and they're like quarterly earnings
reports just being like we had record profits this quarter because we charged and you guys
aren't going to believe this we just charged more money and people paid it they're like yeah i love
it thank you genius just squeeze them till they're dry as fuck. That's all. Yeah. So we're seeing, you know, gas prices are crazy high right now.
And that's fucking squeezing people.
Now, flights are crazy, super duper expensive, more so than they already were.
And those are two things that economists call inelastic demand.
Like, that's when you need to drive, like, you need to drive.
Like, we built these
things into our lives so it's not like a thing where you're just like well i'm gonna take the
other you're like well i'm off this food shit because it's expensive yeah exactly food like
the staples but also like in modern america like flying to go see your family like we moved like my nearest family is like
2 700 miles away and you know i like during the pandemic i didn't see them in a long time so right
yeah and there's no cost you'd pay at that point you'd be like fuck bro i haven't seen my family
like what what what does it cost because that's right there's and i think yeah because so many
people have the mentality of like there's nothing i wouldn't do to see my family or whatever.
And I'm sure the airlines are like, do something.
Yeah.
How about like $800 flight from Burbank to Phoenix?
Yeah.
Exactly.
Wait, what the fuck?
From Burbank to Phoenix?
$800.
Yeah.
You'll do that shit, right?
You love your family, right?
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, you'll do that shit, right?
You love your family, right?
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
And they're also just canceling flights, like, straight up. Which I thought that happened when we were going back to see my dad for his 70th birthday.
Like, five days before the flight, the airline just emailed us and was like, hey, we canceled that flight.
Our bad.
Right.
That's it.
Yeah, yeah.
We canceled that flight.
Our bad.
Right.
That's it.
Like, so we have to, you know, and I thought, again, like, this is them dealing with something that's, like, out of their control.
But I'm just going to read you the two opening paragraphs from this Wall Street Journal article.
And I'm only going to read the two opening paragraphs because I'm not paying for the
fucking Wall Street Journal.
I know.
I saw you clip this out into the doc.
I'm like, the text is fading.
Yeah, the text is fading under a paywall.
Hey, you know, the trick, though,
is just when you Google search,
look for the cached version.
Yeah, I was looking for that.
And then a little paywall hack for you.
Works on most places.
Anyways, airlines said surging travel appetite
will offset higher fuel prices,
keeping them on track
for a long-anticipated recovery.
After the wave of Omicron variant,
blah, blah, blah,
slowed down travel bookings,
airline executives said demand
has roared back more quickly
than they anticipated.
As a result,
and this is the key part,
carriers expect to be able
to absorb higher jet fuel costs
by paring back flying capacity,
canceling people's flights, and passing the costs along to customers passing the costs along to customers so that's just them
being like yeah we're not paying that shit but you will apparently and this this is part of a
positive story this is in the wall street journal so it's all about the investors yeah stock price
but yeah it's basically them being like good news gang people are so starved to see their loved ones
that we're able to charge them just painful amounts of money and the airline industry is
once again cleared for takeoff oh boy fuck y'all yeah it's the ending of that says once again cleared for takeoff right
get y'all for y'all money and shit right it reminds me like when i used to sell weed to
like rich white kids around the time like medical weed was out i'm like i'm gonna just see how much
they'll fucking pay for this shit and normally people be like i'm not paying more than like
fifty dollars for like an eighth and i'm like what about a hundred and they're like is it from
the club the cannabis club oh yeah yeah yeah this is from the club i'll put it like a jar and shit and
they're like oh yeah a hundred dollars i'm like holy shit put it in a jar make it look all legit
yeah i know i'm like it's like the same greedy ass mentality i mean it wasn't really greedy for
me you know i'm just i'm an entrepreneur in that context but like for these companies where they
are actually like sort of built on providing some kind of service.
Like it really is sort of like they're just dialing it up to see, OK, when will it break?
Like how much can I how much more can I charge people for gas?
How much more can I charge them for a flight until the wheels really come off?
Because, yeah, people are taking this added cost on.
But that's not sustainable because wages are not going up.
not sustainable because wages are not going up so you can only sustain this amount of shit being more expensive until you know it it reaches a real crisis point and i know there are yeah
tough people are like we can't pay this shit yeah and so i'm curious what yeah i mean i guess that's
why we even bring this story up it's like when how can it be all right but the the issue is that
like nobody has that conversation because the only place this conversation is had is like I found a CNN business article that was like price controls. And again, I want to just read a direct quote. 70s could reduce inflation over the next year. Less than a quarter of economists surveyed said
they agree, while nearly 60 percent said they disagree or strongly disagree. And then this is
a quote. Just stop it. Seriously. That's from Austin Goolsbee, a professor at the University
of Chicago. Goolsbee previously served as chairman of the Council of Economics Advisors under former President Barack Obama.
And then just they go on to say, like, everybody thinks price controls are stupid.
And like they quote this piece of economic accepted wisdom that demand would or supply
would go away if you did price controls.
But so again, caping for the corporations and that's like
i don't know because then they might stop making this stuff right exactly if you just ask them to
do it at the same price as they were charging like a couple weeks ago yeah they'd stop man
they can't do it anymore they'd shut their fucking business down before making prices lower like it's
sort of the subtext there it's's like, they'll fucking burn it down
if they start being, like,
charging.
Gas just won't be available, man.
Yeah.
I don't know what you're going to do then.
You got a bike?
Yeah, but it's just, like,
pass the pain on to the consumer
is sort of, you know,
like, we talk a lot about
how America's all about consumerism,
but what it's really about is corporations and protecting corporations. And that's that's the only thing that they really give a fuck about. shit but it just seems like it's everywhere and it's places where people are like can't not use
the service you know so many people like drive for their job like how the fuck are they gonna
just you can't pick somebody up an uber on the public bus as far as i know so like i don't know
it's just like the idea of like planes like yeah we'll pass the cost on the con pass the cost to
the consumer it's like getting a ride from somebody like they're like, Hey man, you got to put in on
my car note. I took you somewhere and I know you gave me gas money, but there's, there's some like
other separate. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, man. Cause you know, I, I kind of went wild with the rim package
on this accord. So, you know, just trying to pull together, but whatever we can do but i mean it's funny because
all the people they ask like you go to jacobin or something or something more leftist like on
their website they're they're actually putting out articles they're like price controls can work
sorry if this offends economists right just like really putting it out there but yeah you're not
going to hear that on like news stations that like right
after you're not going to slam like united airlines and then have the united airlines ad playing
right yeah anyways yeah the rich just get richer and the people who are living life propelled
around by like the threat of starvation get just a little bit more panicked and that's that's sort of the the model
as of now as far as i can tell and the prices have pushed like over 60 of the country to be
living paycheck to paycheck now because of how much prices are going up and i think that you know
but again but then the companies will make less if there's price controls. Like, where the fuck, where is this empathy going?
Right.
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Like, when the money goes to people, like, with the, you know, payments that people got during the early days of the pandemic, that was, like, a fucking scandal.
And everybody was like, there was fraud.
There was all this shit.
But, like, that's.
There was more fraud with that PPP shit.
Right.
Yeah.
People pretend to be business.
Like the fraud was really like some of these business owning type people.
Not to say that everyone was not doing it right.
But I see plenty of articles going up about flagrant PPP schemes from people.
Buying Lamborghinis and shit.
Like it's crazy.
Yeah.
But like corporations doing that shit too.
Yeah.
All right. let's talk
about the new variant i mean it's not it's still omicron it's like omicron ba2 i feel like they're
just in an effort to make it less catchy they're just giving it a shitty name they're just like
yeah maybe people that's a good idea like yeah yeah So this one, it's also being described as like the UK variant because that's where it was first discovered.
But it's 85% of cases in Scotland right now.
And it's all over Houston already and probably everywhere else.
It's just Houston is the only one that's testing their wastewater for it at the moment.
I mean, you know, I've seen what the president said.
The pandemic's over, so we're good.
You know?
Yeah, yeah.
No worries.
No need to worry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's what they said.
They're forcing people to go back to work.
Don't worry about this variant.
That's more contagious.
But it's less deadly.
Come on, you scared?
You scared of long COVID or something?
That's the energy that so many people have right now.
It's like, yeah, I am.
I don't want to potentially have long COVID.
That would be terrible.
Yeah, and I got a four-year-old who's still unvaccinated,
and we just like, you never know.
But those are his beliefs.
That's right.
He is anti-vax.
He just listens to a lot of Rogan.
Yeah, four-year-old. Rogan and, you know. Yes.
Because he knows that he's that echo.
He starts playing podcasts whenever he wants.
Yeah, I don't think the people at Pfizer said a fourth boost,
like a fourth shot is probably going to be necessary to this.
I don't know.
I don't know how you can, on one hand, try and push all this energy around,
like all the pandemic's over, back to work.
Like, come on, everybody, get your heads out.
But then also be like, yeah, there's a new variant in town.
It's already in Houston, taking over the UK.
Also, you might need another booster, but the pandemic is over, y'all.
Yeah.
Get back to work.
Yeah.
I do feel like they're not talking about it that much also.
Like, that's another strategy is you're just not hearing that much about it.
And you know what?
The crisis in Ukraine has given a lot of opportunity to not talk about anything domestically that's happening at all.
You know, like, there's definitely a lot of focus on, you know, like, the foreign affairs because that's obviously going to get more people to tune in because it's like you know it's war so people are just drawn to destruction and shit
but yeah we're not seeing many stories about like you know regular people trying to survive while
you know the people who are like at the levers of decision making are just deciding
yep don't worry about the prices pulling thating that lever. And also, pandemic off.
Right. Yeah, yeah.
All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll come back and talk about Proud Boys.
I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.
And I'm Clea Gray,
former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church.

and LA-based Shekinah Church,
an alleged cult that has impacted members
for over two decades.
Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high control groups and interview dancers,
church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine.
Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts,

the Republican nominee for president was the target of two assassination attempts separated by two months.
These events were mirrored nearly 50 years ago when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life in less than three weeks.
President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close to being the victim of an assassin today.
And these are the only two times we know of that a woman has tried to assassinate a U.S. president.
One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson. I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman.
The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI in a violent revolutionary underground.
Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.
The story of one strange and violent summer.

She's terrified.
Should we wake her up?
Absolutely not.
What was that? You didn't figure it out? 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.
That was live audio of a woman's nightmare.

And we're back. enrique tarrio lead proud boy was indicted last week what was it what's what are we learning from him i mean i i know he's not he's not talking about shit and he
probably covered his tracks very well right oh you know you know how these these haters move
and went by haters i mean hate groups move you know they you know how these these haters move and went by haters. I mean, hate groups move.
You know, they were charged with conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding.
And, you know, again, like you're saying, I thought they were on top of their shit.
Well, it seems like, you know, Enrique Terrio's ego was the biggest thing to lead to his downfall at the moment because like roger stone enrique also
had a fucking documentary crew following him around in the lead up to january 6th so he has
this shit all on wax and for those fortunate enough to not have the lead up to january 6th
just broiled into their minds like me terrio was was arrested on January 4th in D.C.
for burning a BLM banner in front of a church.
I think he also had some high capacity magazines,
which he wasn't like legally supposed to have on him.
So he was arrested.
And then the next day on the 5th,
they said, you need to get the fuck out of D.C.
That's part of this.
You cannot be in the district.
He's like, OK.
And guess what?
He didn't.
He went to a little meeting.
So this is from a write upup about what had gone on.
Terrio was released at approximately 5 p.m. on January 5th after having been ordered to leave the district.
Terrio did not immediately comply. Instead, he traveled to an underground parking garage located in downtown D.C.,
where for approximately 30 minutes he met with a group of individuals that included Elmer Stewart Rose III, the founder and leader of the oath keepers a documentary crew was present in the
garage and at one point picked up audio of a person referencing the capital while in the parking
garage terryl told another individual that he had cleared all of the messages on his phone before he
was arrested terryl further stated that no one would be able to get into his phone because there
were two steps to get into it damn damn that's that's cool too
you admit to destruction of evidence too and your mixtape so yeah he it's it didn't turn out that
uh his opsec his operational security uh was was that strong because the feds apparently they're
good at getting information that you think no but i put two-step authentication on my phone yeah the fbi can't find this shit they're gonna have to have my burner phone too because then the two
step goes to that phone they're like okay what's this shit though that dude is a character too man
he has like if you read up on him he's like was living with his mom he has like these failed
businesses for like some random ass products i forgot what what it was, but I'm like, oh man, this dude is just not happy with life in general.
No, no, not at all.
And he's, you know, so right now he's awaiting,
you know, a judge to decide whether or not
he'll be released on bail.
The feds are like, keep this dude in custody
until we figure all this shit out.
So we'll see what happens.
But this is just the kind of story
that you see over and over, right?
Like since January 6th and even even beyond like these white nationalists,
they're so hopped up on their like invincibility,
like societally that they're,
they're,
they're going to bring a documentary crew to document this shit.
Like that,
your mindset is truly,
man,
they can't do shit with this.
That's not going to be a crime.
In fact,
this is going to be an Emmy winningwinning documentary or some shit. Because Roger Stone
did the same thing, and now people are like,
there's so much shit in these documentary
tapes, but this hubris
that these people move around with, and it
shows. That's why they tried to pull that shit on January
6th. Because they're like, my whiteness,
my allegiance to
conservative politics will protect
me. Right. I love that.
Because you know they got the
underground parking garage from a movie right like that's that's all the presidents man casino
yeah satellites can't get us there yeah satellites can't get us like they can't listen to us down
concrete we're surrounded and meanwhile they have a fucking documentary film crew with them
as they're doing that shit is just so great because then it
looks like the scene from the movie they got inspired by uh one of the most important parts
of this revolution is mise en scene we want to make sure that the the back like everything in
the frame really captures how real we are about this whole thing can we do it in like one take
one long masterclass just take a really
great shot kind of like you know paul thomas anderson like or the opening of snake eyes yeah
they gotta try to get all artsy with it yeah try a dutch angle when i'm when i'm uh putting on this
swastika armband it's cool i destroyed the evidence oh sorry can i take that again it's cool i destroyed the evidence
my bad you got that right all right we're good yeah terry was talking to the other oath keepers
he's like you know let's do that one more time for you the dude with the eye patch can you be
a little more growly in your voice when you say the capital is gonna be ours just something like
that okay let's take that yeah let's go back to one real quick. Can we actually make you the leader
guy with the eye patch? Because
you actually look evil as fuck.
Oh, that's my assistant. That's actually my assistant.
No, no, no. He needs to be the leader.
Get the fuck out of here. We need the guy with an eye patch.
Or could you put an eye patch on?
Actually, let's wrap you out.
Let's wrap you out right now.
Hey, everybody clap for him.
Hey, hey, all right.
Yeah. you out right now because I don't think everybody clap for him that's my
theory behind how they got that
eyepatch dude
that guy couldn't look
more like a bad guy
really the dude with the eyepatch
nothing wrong
nothing against people with eye patches.
No, but he's trying to look like a 99-cent store version of a Marvel villain.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. He's leaning into the eye patch look for sure.
Can you imagine if the gossip comes out?
They're like, and that ain't even a real eye patch.
He does it for a fact.
That motherfucker has 20-20 vision.
Right.
Why do you think he always has trouble finding them doorknobs?
Because depth perception is all messed up because he's not used to that eye patch.
Do we know the backstory for how he lost his eye?
Wasn't it something silly?
Dropped a loaded handgun and it shot out his eye.
He was like juicing or something?
No, he literally dropped a handgun, I think.
Damn.
Anyways, gun safety, y'all.
And he was a former weapons instructor who dropped a handgun and shot himself in the face.
Wait, that's a true story?
Yeah, yeah.
That's actually how it happened.
What an idiot.
Dude, all these guys are just fucking...
Hey, man.
I mean, it happens to the best of us, right?
To be fair, we've all dropped a loaded handgun while deriding a bunch of middle-aged women about how they need to have trigger discipline.
We've all dropped a loaded handgun and shot our own eye out.
Yeah.
He could have taken notes from Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies.
Remember, she dropped that Mac-10 down the stairs and hit everybody in that room.
Yo, that movie has some of the wildest like handgun uh or automatic weapons like that she drops a
she drops a uzi and it doesn't just fire once it's it continual continuously fires a full clip
just because it's like hitting a bunch of stairs there's a couple when i'm like i think she could
it looked like it was pointed at her when the shots went off going back up the stairs in my
mind i would always watch that scene.
I'm like, where are those bullets actually going?
Yeah.
But it's neither here nor there.
And hit her.
James Cameron.
One of the best.
Shout out to James Cameron.
Shout out to James Cameron.
He's a young, young film director that I think people should pay more attention to.
He's got a, he's got a small film coming out called Avatar 2.
Oh, is that James Cameron's work?
Oh, that's what's up.
Yeah.
Oh, that's a Cameron joint?
Damn.
I had no idea.
He's really doing big things, huh?
You know, he also did Titanic.
No.
That's what's why.
Yeah.
That's the one with the boat, right?
Right.
Boat.
The boat one?
Death boat.
He did the boat one?
It's otherwise known as death boat. He did Leo's Deathboat. Wow. All right. I do those of us who watch shitty Russian action movies, you could have seen this one coming.
Well, okay.
I had not seen this, but our writer, JM, took a look at a couple Russian action movies from the past year.
And there was a Russian movie that came out called, I'm not going to try and pronounce it, but it translates to Blazing Sun or Sunbaked. That's named after a rocket launcher.
And it's about Russia's 2014 invasion of Crimea and very much intended to just like every piece of Russia's current narrative that they're trying to denazify Ukraine was in this movie.
Like, yeah, that's basically the whole thing.
They went in there and a Ukrainian Nazi military state was going to basically kill everybody, kill all of the Ukrainian people and the Russians.
What's the name what's
the name of this movie it's called blazing sun or sunbaked is what it translates to but it's
uh
yeah yeah
sons of puke uh sons of puke blazing sun yeah yeah but it was kind of ake. Sons of Puke. Okay, Blazing Sun. Yeah, yeah.
But it was kind of a hit.
And one of the guys behind the movie is a Russian oligarch who's one of Putin's main dudes.
A lot of Russian oligarchs are just people Putin allowed to get rich because he liked them.
His nickname in Russia is Putin's Chef.
But he was basically the main person behind the movie.
And also the troll farm, the Internet Research Agency.
Yeah.
Like everything that we was like,
what's all this shit from 2016?
It's like, yep, that's Progozhin.
Yeah, Progozhin.
There you go.
I'll let you pronounce all the Russian words first.
But yeah, it's wild because like because of how controlled the messaging is like apparently a lot of the interest in this movie
came from the this oligarch's involvement like because he's like tight with putin and like putin
controls all all things and all information.
The fact that, like, one of his main dudes was making a movie was apparently, like, a big selling point for this movie.
Oh, interesting.
But, yeah, I mean, you know, JM points out that this is another way that it's easy to see the U.S. playbook at work in what Russia is doing right now. Like not long after 9-11,
the Bush administration launched an effort to, they had David Fincher, the guy who wrote Die
Hard and a producer of Chuck Norris's war classics like Missing in Action and Delta Force One. Like
they had a meeting at the Pentagon where they were like trying to put together a movie that would be
i can't imagine a movie like that would be more friendly to the pentagon than zero dark 30 so i'm
assuming eventually eventually got there and they just erased their involvement in that one but
right i mean yeah that movie was like didn't did just wonders for PR of CIA black sites.
You're like, I mean, they got the answers.
So is it really are they violating like war crime statutes or is this against the Geneva?
I don't know, man.
They figured it out, though.
Shout out.
Yeah, they definitely figured it out.
Yeah.
Good marketing, everything.
Right.
Gets people to sign up and be in the military.
Right. And also, yeah, isn't that that was the first uh that was like the ciaification of chris pratt right
chris pratt or john krasinski who's isn't isn't chris pratt one of the delta guys in it oh yeah
oh yeah yeah yeah cfcia shit no yeah i like, they talk about all the time how much, like, look at how much they took, like, Krasinski and Chris Pratt go from, like, being the lovable guys on NBC Thursday's comedy lineup between The Office and Parks and Rec.
And, like, became, like, these sort of very likable everyman characters into now, like, the embodiment of, like, you know, American macho war shit.
the embodiment of American macho war shit.
Hey, all I know is Krasinski's 6'4 and pure muscle and he could kick your ass.
So just shut the fuck up.
I'll fuck John Krasinski up.
What about Adam Marchaletta and Krasinski?
Who would win that one?
Oh my, just on hamstring strength alone?
Come on now.
Beat him with his hamstrings.
That was a tweet by John Krasinski on a Berner account,
which I always love to bring up.
Telling everybody.
Sixth war, pure muscle.
I mean, look.
Cool.
Who's CIA trained?
Or no, I think he said he was Navy SEAL trained.
So you maybe want to shut the fuck up.
Or do go find him and see what happens, dude. no i think he said he was navy seal trained so you maybe want to shut the fuck up or go sound
or do go find him and see what happens dude saying i'm navy seal train is the kind of shit people who
get knocked out at bars that's what they say right before they get knocked out hey you're like you're
serious bro you want to do this i'm navy seal train dude boom yeah somebody said shut the fuck up the fuck out my cousin's face man
so you know the the fact that russia is using this rationale that they invented and then added
to this movie to get people on board another echo of that in the u.s is that like one of the
intelligence reports that they used to prove to themselves that there were WMDs in Iraq was a loose description of scenes from the movie The Rock.
Like legitimately.
Yeah, they pulled like they pulled some piece of British intelligence where they were just like putting pressure on everyone.
You know, come up with like some story about WMDs in Iraq.
Like, we just need this evidence.
We don't care if it's true or not.
And somebody cooked up this thing
that was basically the nerve agents
in a glass sphere, glass beads or spheres.
Somebody wrote a description of that.
And the CIA, the people who weren't part of the war war plan were like, yo, that's from the rock.
Like that.
Nerve agents don't come in little glass beads like that would be stupid to carry them in that.
That's very unstable.
And millions of deaths later, we can now talk about it and laugh there's i mean i was just
thinking of that scene there like there's like such a that's one of my well not my favorite but
a line that always sticks out to me in the rock where nick cage like glass or plastic glass or
plastic is it a glass ball or like he's trying to find out what the vx gas is contained in but
damn i don't think
that would just resonate so much to the point like yeah let's uh let's completely justify an
invasion with scenes from the rock right how about like metal or like something that's harder to that
doesn't crack open and kill everybody in a city if you drop it by accident so yeah like yeah, like I'm not going to describe all the atrocities in this,
but it's basically everybody who's Ukrainian in this movie is like a cartoon demon.
There's also a Russian military or a, I guess it's a piece of satire
that's about how the Internet Research Agency accidentally caused,
swayed the 2016 U.Ss presidential election in trump's favor
and they created wow big yeah which i mean that's kind of like the way to tell that story i guess
right would be like that is right right dumb as fuck and but anyways the like in order to
publicize that movie first of all they created a fake Twitter account claiming that the NYPD shut down a screening of the movie at Angelica Film Center in New York, which never happened.
They also allegedly bought cameo videos from Donald Trump Jr. and Rudy Giuliani congratulating the fictional character from the movie, who happens to be a six-year-old child who outwits the entire fbi and destroys american democracy and they first of all like giuliani and
donald trump jr were just like sure yeah you you pay the 75 bucks like what what is it what is
their cameo cost like the fact that they're just willing to fucking sell the country i mean for i
i think it rudy's there there's sell the country i mean for i i think
rudy's there there's there's like a couple hundred bucks i think you can get both for 600 and that
still wasn't the dumbest 100 000 giuliani has said on cameo wow so they really thanked a cartoon
character or a fictitious character for tv who yeah wow we love to see it who in a movie helps
them win the election which is like the thing that they're
like crazy never impossible they're like uh what is this cameo you did i didn't know that
hey man art imitates oh shit actually don't say that
what percentage of the things that have happened to him over the past 10 years do you think rudy
giuliani remembers at this point like i i feel like he's been pretty drunk for since 9-11 maybe
he looks so gnarly now he looks like yeah yeah what's going on that dude's hair right just
sweating out black i mean when he's just I don't know.
It's hard to know because he has like he'll he'll remember weird talking points when he has to be like nimble.
I use that air loosely, like mentally nimble to be able to like have some kind of argument with someone.
But I don't know.
I don't know.
It's hard to know with him.
Yeah.
Me sweating out black ink you know
i feel like trump told him about amphetamines that's my other theory that like oh no like
because like because of all the sweating because the way his like he's the he's like just always
he can just like talk talk talk talk talk stay drunk but like not so drunk that he's like slurring
usually that much.
Right.
I feel like Trump might've got him on the, uh, on the old amphetamine bandwagon.
You're like poor Rudy getting caught up with him.
Look what happened.
All right.
Well, Frankie, as always such a pleasure having you on TDZ.

Yeah. I read this like crazy headline I was reading. But also, yeah, there was a tweet or some of the work of social media you've been enjoying? Yeah.
I read this crazy headline I was reading.
But also, yeah, there was a tweet that I saved.
I thought it was funny.
It's from this dude, Ramzi Badawi.
But it says, under any emergency contact section, I always write, please just let me die.
DNR, baby, DNR.
I thought that was funny as fuck, man.
My homie Chris Estrada retweeted it i was like oh so ramsey

can we please communicate to the people of chicago that they really don't have to do that to their
river okay it's good to know.
There's something like out of Ireland
where they're like, if you're going to dye shit
any colors, just do it of the Ukrainian flag.
You don't need to make shit green right now.
Take the emphasis somewhere else.
Another tweet I like is from Justin
Boldaji. At Justin Boldaji tweeted,
Aragorn saying to Legolas,
what do your elf eyes see?
Feels a little racist.
Just ask him if he sees anything.
That's amazing.
Let's see.
Tweets I've been enjoying.
This is just a good idea.
Again, from Noah Garfinkel.
He tweeted, furniture stores should turn into bars at night.
Yeah, they should.
That is a good-ass idea.
You have to put the little plastic coverings
over them, though.
And then Carly Marulli tweeted,
why would I want furniture from a century
that was mid? That's just a good question.
Mid at best.
I want that loud century.
You can find me on Twitter
at Jack underscore O'Brien. you can find us on twitter at daily
zeitgeist we're at the daily zeitgeist on instagram we have a facebook fan page and
website dailyzeitgeist.com where we post our episodes and our footnotes we link off to the
information that we talked about in today's episode as well as a song that we think you
might enjoy miles what song do you think people might enjoy man more liam bailey uh that album ecundio is really good if you like reggae you should really check this song out
because it's like it's it's done so well and it's he's not just doing reggae but there's this track
on here called fight which is really dope because if you listen to reggae there's like this thing
called the bubble on the organ which is like you're kind of used to hearing that in all reggae music in and a lot of
his music he's replacing the like the organ bubble with just like muted guitar strumming so you get
these like elements of like reggae but they come out in these like more like percussive ways and
it's really dope this track is one of those ones where the bubble has been replaced with a little
muted acoustic guitar strumming. And so yes,
please listen to fight by Liam.
Does he do cover songs?
Is that,
he might be doing covers.
I mean,
I've barely gotten through all of his work.
Like I'm just listening to this one album over and over,
but he seems to be pretty prolific,
pretty consistent with the outfit.
Yeah.
All right.
