Hello, the internet, and welcome to Season 6, Episode 3 of the Daily Zeitgeist for November 15th, 2017.
My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Obi-Wan Playnody, and I'm joined by my co-host, Mr. Miles Gray.
Yes, it's your boy, ya boy, Kusama.
The artist formerly known as, and I want to give a shout out to Zach McRae and Anson Jensen
for hooking us up without, you know, heeding my requests.
We could use some reviews and some ratings.
So thank you.
Shout out to you guys.
Get on that iTunes, rate and review us.
And we are thrilled to be joined in our third seat by the hilarious stand-up comedian, Sarah
June.
Hello.
Hello. I'm here. I don't have an alias. Sarah June is comedian, Sarah June. Hello. Hello.
I'm here.
I don't have an alias.
Sarah June is already my alias.
Oh, damn.
Oh, that is an alias.
Yeah.
Ah.
I see.
You won't ask what your legal name is.
Sarah, what's something that you searched in the not-too-distant past that you think
is revealing about who you are as a human being?
Well, I did search Tom and Jerry diaper changing video,
and I'll tell you why, Alex.
I would actually.
Well, it's because it was on Bin Laden's computer.
Because I saw those lists of files that were on Bin Laden's computer,
and one was a Tom and Jerry.
It was like Tom underscore and underscore Jerry underscore diaper dot FLV.
And I was like, I've got to find out more.
And it turns out there's an episode of Tom and Jerry called Baby Puss
where a bunch of other cats
bully Tom
and make him
treat him like a baby
and like put a diaper on him.
And the clip
of Tom getting
his diaper changed
is like super popular
on YouTube
among the,
the diaper freaks.
Oh, nice.
What do you mean diaper freaks?
Like people that are
into diapers sexually.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Is that,
isn't that legit slang?
Diaper freak?
Oh no, that's just me. I like that. That's why. It? Diap freak? Oh, no, that's just me.
I like that.
That's why.
It sounded cool.
I was like, yo, where the diap freaks at?
That's the sort of thing that someone would say if they were a part of that community.
Well, I mean, my Google search history speaks for itself.
And in the video, it's like, what are the mechanics of the diaper change?
It's like one of those things they put like a swaddling cloth and like a huge safety pin.
Exactly.
Exactly.
It's like one of those things they put like a swaddling cloth and like a huge safety pin.
Exactly.
Exactly.
So he's got Tom.
Tom is already wearing a diaper and being like being like in in a way that now I think we would look at as maybe like because we were talking earlier about the weird fetish videos on YouTube of like people wanting to look at babies and be treated like babies and all this shit.
So Tom is already wearing a diaper and then they throw him in a fishbowl and then they're like, oh, his diapers went out because he fell in a fucking fishbowl.
And then, yeah, they they grab him.
And with cartoon violence, they swaddle him with a, you know, a cloth, a reusable cloth.
And then they stick him with a huge pin and he goes, you know, in the classic cartoon fashion.
And then they put him in a cradle.
Cool.
Nice.
Forced infancy. Yeah. Yeah. So that's in a cradle. Cool. Nice. Forced infancy.
Yeah.
So that's apparently a thing.
It's very early forced infancy porn.
Right.
Like every single part of that is like part of the fetish.
And the whole point is to humiliate him.
Right.
Oh, yeah.
Humiliation.
Yeah.
We're learning a lot about this.
We actually had one of our writers, J.M. McNabb.
The letter's J.M.
I'm not saying J.M.
McNabb is... His name's not James. It's J.M. writers, J.M. McNabb, the letters J.M., I'm not saying J.M., McNabb is... His name's not James, it's Jame.
Right, J.M.
We had him look into this very strange YouTube account, and we're going to kind of take his report,
we're going to bring his report to you in a future episode.
But yeah, we are...
It's riveting stuff.
Yeah, YouTube is great at sort of documenting all the intricacies of the very strange fetishes
that are out there.
Sorry.
What's something you think is overrated?
Shoes.
I think they're bad and uncomfortable.
I don't think we should be wearing them all the time.
I don't like it when people wear them in my house.
Well, that's I'm the same way.
Yeah.
I was, you know, she was in the household. Yeah. Well, my mom's Japanese, so there's no way when people wear them in my house. Well, I'm the same way. No shoes in the household?
Yeah, well, my mom's Japanese, so there's
no way you're wearing shoes in my house.
No shoes in our house ever.
You just have to clean more
when you wear shoes in the house. It's not worth it.
Yeah, exactly.
You localize the filth to your entryway.
Yeah, my wife is Korean,
and I became a no-shoes-in-the-house
person, and it's great other than the fact that I have ADD and I always forget things.
And so I put on my shoes at the door to leave, and then I remember that I don't have my pants on.
Sorry, did you grow up not wearing shoes in the house?
Absolutely.
Okay.
You say absolutely, like definitively.
Definitively, like you can't wear. No's crazy why would you wear shoes like it was all i got
i would uh we didn't wear shoes in the house none of our friends wore shoes in the house
and then when i like started hanging out with more white people i was like where where are all
your shoes and they were like why aren't they at the door yeah well yeah i would walk past the door
and be like where's your shoes um but yeah like like shoes are bad and they make your feet hurt and they fuck with your posture.
And also they hide your feet from you.
And this is another way people think, I think, is I find pedicures kind of weird because it's like the only time that a lot of people take care of their feet.
It's as if your feet are too far away for you to deal with.
And you're like, I need somebody else to do this for me.
Like I need a different person of a different race to like tend to my feet.
Hook my feet up.
Yeah.
Hook my feet up.
That's why like people have gross feet.
People who don't wear shoes in the house never have gross feet because they got to look at
them all the time.
Whoa.
I never thought about that.
I mean, I'm always wearing socks.
Yeah.
That's also bad.
You're anti-sock?
I'm pretty anti-sock.
Wow.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm pro.
I'm pro.
I mean, stink catchers i'm
pro sock usage i just don't like wearing socks okay but it's way better than not wearing socks
and wearing shoes i'm gonna have much better feet than me i think is what is being revealed
because my feet like sweat horribly and like if i didn't wear socks my shoes would just like
dissolve oh no you should i i also, anyone who wears shoes without wearing socks is like, there's something
bad going on in there.
Yeah.
You're so judgmental.
You can do that.
I'm extremely judgmental about people's feet.
Well, yeah.
Stinky.
Well, because that's like the road to stink town.
Yeah.
Cute Hollister girl wearing your Converse and it's the low tops and there's no socks and
like, take them off, bitch.
Show me what you got.
That's why you wear no-show socks.
What about that?
That's a happy medium. Oh, wow. It doesn't really work. Okay. So we'll have to get into that. Show me what you got. That's why you wear no-show socks. What about that? Those don't work. That's a happy medium.
Oh, wow.
Doesn't really work.
Okay, so we'll have to get into that.
They always write down.
I have a lot of strong opinions about cats.
This is coming from somebody who's wearing Chelsea boots, which we've been informed earlier
today while we were brainstorming the episode, are like the cool thing.
So she does have footwear.
And she's wearing socks.
I don't wear Tom and Jerry socks, dude.
This one's a rat and the other one's a cat.
That's pretty cool.
I didn't do that on purpose.
Is that a mismatching pair or that's how the pair comes?
That's how the pair comes.
All right.
Sarah, what's something you believe to be underrated?
Fire is a balk.
Yeah.
Fire is a balk.
We're talking fire is a balk.
Preach.
Lately.
From the craft.
Really great.
She's also in the water boy.
How do we spell that?
F-A-I-R-U-Z-A space B-A-L-K.
Get it right.
Get it tight.
Yeah. Fire is a Bulk is great.
The craft, I think, I'm going to recut the craft to cut out the character Sarah, the current main character,
because in my opinion, Fire is a Bulk is the main character in that movie.
And it's a Greek tragedy about how, like, she's a genius and no one understands her.
Wow. And she ends up, in the end, kind of, honestly, it's a King Lear retelling.
Okay.
Starring Fire is a B Balk as King Lear.
Another thing I think is underrated, figs.
A lot of people don't like figs.
I think that's...
I don't like fig trees.
What?
Because I used to have one, and the shits would fall down, and the ground would be inundated with figs.
You eat them.
I didn't know you could eat them.
You didn't...
What?
You didn't know you could eat fruit? I thought it was a nuisance plant. I didn't know... could eat them. You didn't? What? Yeah. You didn't know you could eat fruit?
I thought it was a nuisance plant.
I didn't know.
Look, I'm...
You had a fig just dripping manna into your yard, and you were like, ugh.
Look, yo, my mom didn't know about figs.
My dad was like, he didn't know?
Look, we were fig-norant.
Wow.
Yeah.
All right.
I'll forgive you.
With that...
Thank you.
Please excuse my fig-norance. All right. Wow. Wow. We're looking or not. We talk about politics, the president and news, but we also talk about movies and supermarket tabloids.
It's all contributing to the great national, international unconscious.
So, Sarah, is there a myth or something in the media that sort of sticks out to you as something that people get wrong either in movies or just in the news?
Yeah. One big one is the myth that Israel is a secular democracy in the Middle East
and an outpost of American values. But actually, it's an apartheid ethnostate.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah. It's a big it's a big con.
I think, yes, there is. The news doesn't cover much of that. Yeah. It's a big, it's a big con. I think, yes, there's a, there, there, the news doesn't cover much of that.
No.
That is not a, an opinion you see in the news very often.
I think it's easy because when there is coverage like that, inherently people come out and
sort of label it as anti-Semitic.
Absolutely.
And, and sometimes it is, but, but anti-Zionism is not the same thing as anti-Semitism.
Um, but, uh, you know, it, but it's hard to talk about it.
Yeah, absolutely.
Because nobody wants to be anti-Semitic.
Right.
And I certainly don't.
Yeah.
But the way that a state runs doesn't have to do with the religion of the people.
Absolutely, right.
Right, yeah, objectively.
But I totally understand why people would be very worried about anti-Semitism, because it's a big thing.
All right.
Well, we have to move on to, apparently, Blake Shelton is the sexiest man alive, you guys.
What?
Ha-what?
Blake Shelton, ha-what?
Yeah.
Now, this is frustrating, because, like, part of his brand is being, like, a big, doofy, friendly homophobe.
What is he?
Also, is he a singer or an actor?
A singer.
Okay.
He's a singer.
He's married to Gwen Stefani.
Are you sure he's not just a potato that somebody put eyes in?
I mean, he has...
I'm not a nice face, but sexiest man alive.
Again, people also, they're like really outraged.
Like, how the fuck is he sexiest man alive?
It's called a publicist fucking... Like, you know, working a deal with people.
It says nothing to do with objectively.
People are like, hey, guys, let's get together.
Who's the sexiest man alive?
I think Russia meddled in the sexiest man alive elections.
Mad bot votes were going down on that Twitter thing.
A lot of bot activity.
Okay, so let's get a quick sampling of what the sexiest man alive's Twitter is like.
Let's see.
January 10th.
Question for my gay followers.
Are Skittles y'all's favorite candy?
Okay.
Oh, because of the rainbow.
Cool.
Exactly.
That's hot.
I see why he's sexy.
Is that even homophobic or is that just like...
That's just a hack open mic joke.
Yeah, that's just a bad joke.
Let's see.
What's next?
Also, what gay followers?
Right.
Yeah. I think people just from The Voice, because that's where he was like,
probably got his main mainstream
introduction. Gwen Stefani definitely probably has
some fans in
the gay community, and
maybe he's getting some
sort of runoff.
Gwen Stefani fandom? Yeah, I think so.
Yeah, if you're gay, you can still be a country music
fan, but you have to be racist.
You have to be a gay racist.
Right.
And here's another one, you know, because his gaydar is really on point.
Standing in line at a coffee shop in L.A., talking with the man in front of me.
He orders a skinny caramel latte.
I couldn't tell he was gay.
Oh!
Burn for people drinking skinny caramel lattes.
Wow.
Fancy coffees.
Try it out at Flapper's, Blake.
Yeah.
That's some hot stuff.
And another one is very interesting.
If you haven't noticed Richard Simmons is gay, you haven't noticed Katy Perry's boobs.
I don't even know where that...
That analogy is not an analogy.
Right.
Yeah.
That is so strange.
Like, just that...
How did that happen?
if you don't know this man's gay
you don't know that I'm straight
I'm straight as hell
so straight
I'm not gay but I think Ellen is hot
wait a minute what?
that's another tweet
you're right he is the sexiest man in the world
I just came
this one is actually kind of
darker but he's
like rewriting uh my favorite shania twain song any man that tries touching my behind he's gonna
be a beating bleeding heaving kind of guy because hate crimes yeah yeah yeah let's you know it's
it's pronounced height crimes height crimes so again yeah is it a hate crime if I beat up? I don't even want to do fake tweets.
Yeah, look, this is just, you know, these are his old tweets, and then he did, this is his apology,
and true guy who's been outed for his problematic tweets, saying,
everybody knows comedy has been a major part of my career, and it's always been out there for anyone to see.
That said, anyone that knows me also knows I have no tolerance for hate of any kind of form.
Can my humor at times
be inappropriate, immature?
Yes.
Hateful?
Never.
That said,
I deeply apologize to anybody
who may have been offended.
Right.
Not that I made offensive remarks.
I'm sorry for the emotions
that occurred in you
by accident.
I'm sorry that...
Because of something
going on with you.
I'm sorry that you
were so much of a
snowflake right yeah exactly and hey man everybody knows i'm like one of the top comedians in the
game yeah what what's the fucking problem everybody knows that look comedy has been a big part of his
career i i don't know i mean i i've i can't say that for sure i I don't think of him as a joke country singer, like a parody comedian singer.
And I mean, I don't think of him at all, to be fair.
So I am not an expert on Blake Shelton.
Anthony Oliveira, Mia Cooper on Twitter tweeted,
Blake Shelton is not even the sexiest.
One, Gwen Stefani spouse.
That would be Gavin Rosdell.
Two, country singer Steve Grant.
Three, voice guy Adam Levine.
Four, Blake.
Blake Lively.
Five, racist Dean Cain.
So that is a great tweet.
Poor Dean Cain.
Whenever I see him on Fox, I just get so bummed out.
Why do you watch Fox?
You're just asking.
Just for this show.
I just have to, you know, you interact with clips and see him there.
And I'm like, damn, yo, when the money dries out, you do whatever you can.
Or he's just been a fucking racist the whole time.
Yeah, that's entirely possible.
Ah, well.
He's not looking good, by the way.
This is why nobody should ever do comedy, I think, is the moral of the Blake Shelton story.
Right.
Nobody should ever do comedy. I think, is the moral of the Blake Shelton story. Right. Nobody should ever do comedy.
Mm-hmm.
Fair enough.
And I just want to leave you with one last Blake Shelton tweet before we move on.
Wish the dickhead in the next room would either shut up or learn some English so I would at least know what he's planning to bomb.
Jesus Christ.
Come on, man.
Isn't that sexy to y'all?
Jesus fucking Christ. No, but I mean, he sexy to y'all? Jesus fucking Christ.
No, but I mean, it is.
He is one of the top comedians out there.
Comedy is a really big part of his shitty singing career.
Yeah.
Cool.
Well, look.
No, this is Trump's sexiest man alive, really.
This is 2017.
This is where we're at.
We're just going to, I guess, pretend Idris Elba doesn't exist.
And then, yes, yeah, I guess Jake Shelton, Blake Shelton.
It doesn't matter.
So your pick is Idris Elba?
Oh, yeah.
Okay, cool.
What about you, Jack?
Don't say yourself.
Idris Elba's good.
The Rock wasn't bad last year.
The Rock is good, too, yeah.
I support The Rock.
Yeah.
I support Idris Elba, who's also an Arsenal fan.
Shout-outs to you, Idris.
I'm going to go Ben Simmons from the 76ers.
Ben Simmons.
Wow.
Look at you.
If you couldn't tell that Ben Simmons is gay.
Have you seen him pull up for three?
Have you seen his jump shot?
Thing is busted, man.
Look, we're more crooked than Lonzo Ball's form.
Anyway, I love pussy.
Hashtag love pussy. This is Blakes form. Anyway, I love pussy. Hashtag.
This is Blake Shelton signing off saying hashtag love pussy.
Let's move on to our president, the man who makes it Trump's America, Donald Trump himself.
He's coming off his big Asia trip, which I didn't realize this was the longest presidential trip since George H.W. Bush did an Asia trip that ended with him vomiting on the Japanese prime minister.
Yeah.
What?
That was legendary.
Yeah.
So.
Boomer Alley, dude.
Yeah.
Trump is trying to brag about his stamina.
I think that's why he did that.
Yeah.
Or shit was just getting so bad.
He's like, hey, man, can we just do like a really long trip well i feel like they said
they were like we need to get him out of here um we'll we'll talk about some the most problematic
stop on that tour uh a little later on but uh trump's gonna get assassinated but not on purpose
he's just gonna be in a mall and there's going to be a mass shooting. Just accidentally. Yeah, he's going to get accidentally assassinated. Yeah.
So the thing that he's talking about right now, the UCLA basketball players who were being held
in a hotel in China because they were caught shoplifting. One of them is Lonzo Ball's little brother.
They are on their way back to the United States
where they will probably be promptly kicked off the UCLA basketball team.
Worth it. Shoplifting is good.
Right. Shoplifting. So fun.
Because when your brother has just signed a multi-million dollar contract,
you can't get a belt.
No, wasn't it sunglasses?
It's the principle of the thing.
Right.
And plus, China's usually cool about stuff like this,
so I don't see what the big deal is.
But anyways, Trump had spoken with Xi Jinping
and asked him to be nice to these guys and maybe consider
letting them go. They were let go. And Trump tweeted, Do you think the three UCLA basketball
players will say thank you, President Trump? They were headed for 10 years in jail, which
was like the maximum prison sentence for stealing.
So I don't know.
It's just he's looking for just kind of a layup of positive, easy, good press.
Yeah, exactly.
Hey, I got the basketball-playing shoplifters out of trouble.
Although what's funny is a guy who I went to school with, Arash Markazi, who writes for ESPN,
he went to China with the team and was there during all of it.
And while he was there, from the people he was speaking to on the Chinese side, we're saying it was probably going to be one to two weeks at most.
So even before Trump, I think, even spoke with Xi Jinping, they were already being like, look, it'll probably be like a week or two or something.
So it's not like, I don't know. Again, for trump brett oh yeah shout out to my alma mater georgetown went
over to china and had just like a bench clearing like violent brawl with like a chinese basketball
team oh really yeah that's how you have an international incident that's your alma mater
and my my alma mater ucla they're stealing shit. Right, exactly.
I want to fly to China to steal a belt.
Right.
Even though my brother is like the top draft pick. Where else are you going to get a belt that's made in China?
Right.
That's right.
Yeah, exactly.
All right.
We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back after these messages.
These messages.
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.

Absolutely not.

You didn't figure it out?

How do you feel about biscuits?
Hi, I'm Akilah Hughes
and I'm so excited about my new
podcast, Rebel Spirit, where I head
back to my hometown in Kentucky and try to
convince my high school to change their racist mascot,
the Rebels, into something everyone in the
South loves, the biscuits. I was a
lady rebel. Like, what does that even mean?
The Boone County Rebels
will stay the Boone County rebels.
It's right here in black
and white in the prints. They lying.
An individual that came to
the school saying that God
sent him to talk to me about the mascot
switch is a leader.
You choose hills that you want to die on.
Why would we want to be the losing team?
I'd just take all the other stuff
out of it. Segregation academies. When civil rights said that we need to be the losing team? I'd just take all the other stuff out of it.
Segregation academies.
When the civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools,
these charter schools were exempt from that.
Bigger than a flag or mascot.
You have to be ready for serious backlash.
Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The entire Asia trip, I was listening to, I think it's Pod Save the World, which is a great podcast. It's one of the guys who was in the Obama administration, Tommy Vitor. He interviews people who have a lot of different Asian countries, I think, and like traveled with Obama on his
Asian trips.
And he was saying that basically these trips are, you know how Trump kind of sees everything,
sees all international relationships as sort of zero sum games where it's like, if they're
getting a good deal, then we're getting
screwed and vice versa.
Right, right.
Which is probably too simplistic when you're talking about, you know, financial transactions.
Like we have...
He does see it as a pissing contest.
Right.
He sees everything as a pissing contest, including sex.
Right.
But so the one place that it actually is a zero-sum game is by the way that joke was really
good we just i don't know why we didn't laugh at it but um it's okay hey i'm still processing it
yeah oh we're talking about actual peepee it was a piss tape i'm sorry are you guys not constantly
thinking about the piss tapes i i i am more than i like to think about it, but I was barred from talking about it again in the office because I'm obsessed with it.
Okay.
Well, I've recently, every time I have to go to the bathroom now, I just say, like, I'm about to go stay at the Moscow Ritz-Carlton or I'm about to go drop a tape.
You know, it's my new thing.
In the presidential suite.
Everyone loves it.
Everyone loves it.
But so the way this diplomat was describing it, he was saying that when you are on this trip, you have to be like super careful about how you interact with different countries and how you comport yourself around other leaders.
You don't say.
Trump is really good at that. So the way he he's kind of like deferential around other leaders and a lot of cases, not the ones that he should be. Right. Like not just other Angela Merkel.
But right. So by giving deference to China and the Chinese leaders, he's making our allies feel sort of unprotected and giving China leverage to claim
that like, they're the world leader now. And I don't know, it was just interesting to hear a
critique of sort of how he was comporting himself on this, because it was like a subtlety that I
wasn't really reading as I was watching him sort of sit down with these other leaders. And I just feel like he's not capable of being tough or stoic in the face of actual human beings.
He's good at throwing bombs from a distance or like on Twitter, but he sort of fucked this up from a diplomatic perspective because he's very fragile, like in terms of his emotions.
he's very fragile, like in terms of his emotions.
So his last trip was the Philippines with Duterte, who is a straight up dictator who since coming to power has just started straight up murdering drug users and drug dealers.
He not only does he murder journalists but he like publicly jokes
about murdering journalists yeah or he'll say like you know the constitution doesn't protect you
right well comedy is a big part of his career yeah exactly came up as he was coming away and
like with all these people being killed like he's told you know policemen is like that they will be
pardoned like without question if like they're get they're caught up in something yeah there's
no there's no dog whistles here yeah right just straight up hey open season yeah he had a quote that said just because you're
a journalist you're not exempted from assassination if you are a son of a bitch free speech won't save
you my dear uh was a direct quote is he a fucking bond villain yeah right and at a uh press conference with trump duterte yelled at the press calling
them spies and uh trump was sitting there and he like laughed his ass off like ha yeah the press
they're the worst right these guys they're terrible always writing down what i say right
so i don't know there there were a bunch of really strange things. He appeared. So there was a sit down where Americans were hoping that he would sort of bring up the insane human rights abuses that are taking place in the Philippines.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that, like, he politely brought up the human rights sort of issue, but, like, didn't make a big deal about it. He, quote, appeared sympathetic and did not have any official position on the matter and was merely nodding his head, indicating that he understood the domestic problem that we faced on drugs.
By the way, the Philippines didn't like have a like this was not a top issue when he came into power.
The whole drug thing. It's just a thing that he sort of made his like number one issue
and you know there are stories that his son has a problem with drugs and that's like partially why
he's you know why this is so important to him it's like uh trump and his his weird anti-vax tangent
right well you know like with like in the the Philippines in general, I was reading this article in Time that was, like, talking about the culture of, like, impunity that exists in Filipino politics.
And a lot of the reason why people, like, felt that, you know, there was all kinds of, like, the political system was really out of whack.
Like, after an election, like, people would abandon their party just to join, like, the winning candidate.
And it's, like like very flexible and fluid.
And it's completely different than like so foreign to even what we believe our like political system be completely fucked.
And at the time, like Duterte was like claiming like, you know, he's going to fix all of this.
And I think that that was one of the reasons why people had like such high hopes for him.
It sounds exactly like Trump.
Yeah.
No, exactly.
That's like, I'm going to fucking I'm going to drain this swamp. I'm going to clear out the riffraff. That's the thing that kept coming up as I was reading
about Duterte's rise to power is so the Philippines is one of the most social media involved countries
in the world. Like they're very plugged in from a social media perspective. And Duterte is also like really plugged in on social media.
And I don't know, they both have like, there's just so many similarities between them.
Like a journalist in the Philippines, like a couple years ago was like, there's no such thing as a slow news day in the Philippines since Duterte arrived.
Then it's like, yeah, that is exactly what Trump's rise was like. They both
have like a deep abiding hatred for President Obama based on like a single perceived personal
slight, like Obama had a single meeting with Duterte and he like got really pissed about
it's not totally clear. He spends all his weekends on his home island, which is very reminiscent of Mar-a-Lago.
It's uncommon for the Filipino leader to do that.
But he is like, no, this is where I'm comfortable.
So I feel like, I don't know.
It did make me wonder, is this a personality type that is just going to have an advantage in our era of social media just like
by being sort of just filling up all channels with their you know outsized personality defects
will that just be sort of how things go until we alter whatever the algorithms or something
um it's hard to know right but i i know
like initially he had a really high approval rating like 91 but now like i think they're what
like like like 16 months or so in to his presidency like his support is starting to wane because
they're seeing like he this is not well i mean i think so like to answer your question yeah like
uh a charismatic rich piece of shit who doesn't really do anything and only cares about his own interests and is in power just to accumulate more power and money.
Like that's not a new type, but it's certainly aided by the era of social media because now it's harder to cover things up.
So instead of just being quiet about the murders and shit you do, you just yell a bunch about other stuff and distract people constantly so they don't notice that you're uh you know exploiting them right or
you yell about your own murders but like make yourself sound tough so people like again this
like in this time article like it's it's a very unique ecosystem that he's operating in because
you know for example the former president josephrada, he was sentenced to like life in prison for plundering like like almost like more over 80 million dollars.
And then he was pardoned by his successor.
And now he's the mayor of Manila or at the time of the writing of this article, he's now the mayor of Manila. who was serving two life sentences for raping an 11-year-old girl, won re-election twice from jail,
and, like, was able to play tennis on the court he built in, like, a maximum security prison.
Okay, Philippines is next level America.
Yeah, it's like, it's like so, like, you know.
They're like 10 years ahead of us.
This culture of impunity is, I think, is also like, you know, combining that with his personality type.
It just, it sort of makes sense.
Yes.
Straight up.
Trump probably went there to be like, how can I make this happen for me?
Right.
What do you hook me up, dude?
Yeah, it does.
I do worry about him getting some ideas like being like, it's OK.
He can't process anything.
Right.
But the did Jared go?
No, I think he's probably still looking for money somewhere.
And if he was, he was probably there to just be like, can I talk to some rich guys?
Please.
But going back to the Facebook thing, like the guy who invented loudspeakers and like
just the idea of loudspeakers in the early 20th century, like blamed himself for the
rise of fascism because he felt like, you know, the fact that people were able to project their voices into like huge groups of people was essentially what led to the rise of Facebook and how social media allows a person with a big forceful personality
to just get right into people's veins.
Yeah.
It's like the worst form of targeted advertising.
Right.
Yeah.
You make the site indispensable to people's lives.
You add in all of these elements so that it becomes a home base.
And basically, all the internet is to a
lot of people it's just facebook everything filters through facebook and then facebook
is in total control of what you see and what you do and what you think yeah um but gotta worship
that algorithm yeah but going back to uh so this specific trip uh it opened with duterte bragging
about uh the first time he murdered someone. Oh, cool.
So just like prison.
Right.
Said, at the age of 16, I killed somebody.
I stabbed him only because our eyes met.
Which actually kind of sounds like the intro to Liquid Swords.
Yeah, Liquid Swords.
Fucking Trump probably pooped his diaper.
Right.
I'm not that tough.
That's so cool.
Probably pooped his diaper.
Right.
I'm not that tough.
That's so cool.
And it ended with Duterte singing a song, like a Filipino love song, that he claimed was requested by Trump.
And I think we have audio of that, if I'm not mistaken.
It's beautiful, really. Yeah. Yay!
Please don't hurt us.
So this is...
This translates to,
you are the light in my world,
a half of this heart of mine.
Said that was at the request of the Commander-in-Chief of the United States.
This sounds like a David Lynch movie.
Like, this whole clip, it could have come from fucking Blue Velvet.
Yeah.
What a terrifying party to be at.
Right.
Now I got to pretend I like that shit.
Yeah.
You got to laugh at that guy's jokes loud.
Ha ha, you're the best, boss.
It's like that scene in Sopranos when he looks around and everybody's over laughing at his jokes.
And he's not sure if they're just sycophants or he's actually killing it.
Right.
What, I'm like a clown to you?
Yeah.
Or he's actually killing it.
What, I'm like a clown to you?
Yeah.
But yeah, I mean, going back to, like, Obama would be very careful about just how he, like, sat or how he shook the hand of another foreign leader because you didn't want to go too far or not far enough in terms of how you conduct yourself on like diplomatic visits and trump is like requesting love songs
and having love songs sung to him by a guy who's going to go down in history as like one of the
scariest like most murderous dictators of our time it's because trump doesn't look at himself
as a representative of the people of the united states or the government of the united states he
walks around like he's like he was voted most popular dude in america right like and that's like his
responsibility he's like hey man we're having a good time like i'll wear this weird shirt like
oh yeah they were uh matching shirts that's also worth checking out i mean i'm sure that wasn't
necessarily his uh his call but uh they all are wearing fun matching shirts all right we're gonna
take a quick break and we'll be right back.
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.

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.

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.
Dream Sequence is a new horror thriller

It was December 2019 when the story blew up.
In Green Bay, Wisconsin, former Packers star Kabir Bajabiamila caught up in a bizarre situation.
KGB explaining what he believes led to the arrest of his friends at a children's Christmas
play.
A family man, former NFL player, devout Christian, now cut off from his family and connected
to a strange arrest.
I am going to share my journey of how I went from Christianity to now a Hebrew Israelite.
I got swept up in Kabir's journey, but this was only the beginning.
In a story about faith and football,
the search for meaning away from the gridiron
and the consequences for everyone involved.
You mix homesteading with guns and church
and a little bit of the spice of conspiracy theories
that we liked.
Voila!
You got straight away.
I felt like I was living in North Korea,
but worse, if that's possible
listen to spiraled on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts
how do you feel about biscuits hi i'm akilah hughes and i'm so excited about my new podcast
rebel spirit where i head back to my hometown in kentucky and try to convince my high school
to change their racist mascot the the Rebels, into something everyone
in the South loves,
the Biscuits.
I was a lady rebel.
Like, what does that even mean?
The Boone County Rebels
will stay the Boone County Rebels
with the image of the Biscuits.
It's right here in black and white
in print.
A lion.
An individual that came to the school
saying that God sent him
to talk to me about the mascot switch
is a leader. You choose hills that you want to die on.
Why would we want to be the losing team?
I'd just take all the other stuff out of it.
Segregation academies.
When civil rights said that we need to integrate public schools,
these charter schools were exempt from that.
Bigger than a flag or mascot.
You have to be ready for serious backlash.
Listen to Rebel Spirit on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And we're back.
So we wanted to check in with Judge Roy Moore, see how things are going down there for him.
Man of the people roy moore man of a very specific demographic of people um he so man of the pedos right yeah
oh there we go so a few days ago there was like the one picture of the guy who, like, if you saw him creeping around, you had to kick him out because a lot of teenagers hung out at that mall.
And he was just always there hitting on the teenagers.
Like, yeah.
So you get banned from the mall like any pedophile would.
Right.
He's just the local pedophile.
That's not a smear campaign from the devil.
Right.
That's your own fucking evil catching up to you, my man.
That's mall security.
That's Paul Blart being a hero.
Right.
The New Yorker article that I read just interviewed mall security people.
And they were like, yeah, don't say our name because we don't want to like get thrown in jail but yeah it was well known that he was the guy to watch out for
because he kept asking girls who were like shopping or hanging around the mall to like
come into his car wow dude when i would go to the mall like with my boyfriend he wouldn't even
go into the claire's with me he was like i don't want people to think i'm a fucking pedophile and
i was like i just want hoop earrings for $3.
Wait, but he was your age, presumably, right?
Yeah.
Oh, you mean now?
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, because he doesn't want to be a grown man in a Claire's.
I didn't have a boyfriend in high school.
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I'm trying to picture this.
No, my grown man boyfriend, who was not a pedophile, was like, I will wait in another
store while you go to the Claire's because I will not go into a Claire's for my reputation.
But just stick by your side.
I think that that visual would be clear.
But I just like that he's so opposed to being like the man who is inside of a Claire's.
He did look like a weed dealer.
So like, you know, he had gotten this before, I think.
I also really like that being a way to refer to a boyfriend as, so my grown man boyfriend
who's not a pedophile, like my boyfriend from Canada, my grown man boyfriend, not a pedophile, by the way.
Noted.
So that came out.
People are pretty much ditching him left and right.
Even Bannon, who he was kind of Bannon's guy that he brought in.
He hasn't publicly distanced himself yet, but it seems like there are a few reports considering it um the headline on drudge as we record this is bannon turns on
judge whore uh so drudge has clearly turned on him and is calling him judge whore now yeah even
the drudge report has a a line just being a little judgy honestly i think exactly. Honestly, I think. But, so there's also
a couple other things.
So there is a robocall
that went out
that's kind of amazing.
It's wild.
Because a lot of this story,
you know,
he has a huge beef,
Roy Moore has a huge beef
with the Washington Post
for breaking a lot
of these stories.
And to discredit him,
we don't know where
this robocall came from.
They basically created a fictitious journalist.
And I'll let you decide the other details of what this person's identity is.
Right.
But check out this robocall that is going out in Alabama at the moment to basically help Roy Moore's case, I guess.
Yeah.
It's clearly Roy Moore's version of what an East Coast journalist is. of between $5,000 and $7,000. We will not be fully investigating these claims.
However, we will need a written report.
I can be reached by email,
lbernstein at washingtonpost.com.
Thank you.
Hmm.
Bernie Bernstein.
He, uh, that, by the way, that email address,
they didn't even bother, like, making an email address.
Well, you couldn't, like,
because that would have to be from the Washington Post.
Oh, right, right.
So, yeah.
No matter how hard you tried.
Return to sender.
So, yeah, a total smear on actual
journalists, and then using
the most base,
stereotypical Jewish
accent, although it went into
Boston a few times, like Remax.
What I really want to know about this call is
who was the actor that they paid 70
bucks to record this?
Someone who's like, hey, can you do like a sort of East Coast Jewish guy voice?
We want you to do kind of an East Coast liberal media elite college educated.
You know what I'm saying?
Do you know what I mean?
Wink, wink, wink.
Wink, wink, wink.
We want you to do a triple parentheses.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
His name is Bernie Bernstein.
Who wrote this?
Who wrote this call?
It's awful.
That's a first draft sneaky Jew name.
Like, why would you do that?
Why wouldn't you at least, after hearing it said aloud, be like, maybe we should.
Maybe a little more nuanced.
Right.
And I don't know why, again, like, why does the guy have to be Jewish?
Like, if you're going after the Washington Post, it just smacks of all the evil things of this guy's world.
Right.
I think it's honestly because he's trying to associate the Washington Post with something that his constituents are already suspicious of, which is a Jew.
Because they're Christians.
Right.
So people in Alabama would immediately be like, oh, this guy, I already don't like him.
Makes sense.
Yeah, the whole media conspiracy thing.
Yeah.
And it sounds like a fucking throwaway SNL character.
Yeah.
That someone failed in their audition, and they're like, okay, I shouldn't be that character.
I have to believe Alabamans are smarter than that and are not falling for that.
Oh, they certainly are.
Well, there are.
I mean, like, it seems like...
But, okay, again, like, you know, old people sometimes don't know the difference between...
Like, because robocalls are kind of a new thing.
I mean there are people who just don't know that that shit exists.
Like my aunt fucking clicked on a scam thing that like looked like a newspaper article.
And it like just melted her computer.
Yeah, basically.
Right.
She like, well, yeah, it was bad.
But when something is framed like that, especially like people that aren't super online will be like, yeah, why shouldn't I believe this?
Right.
I like that he clarifies.
We won't be actually investigating the reports.
We just want to.
Well, and also I think when they do that, right, it's like a tactic to like to make it seem like a leak.
Right.
Like, can you believe what they're doing?
Right.
And it's all.
Well, the crazy thing, too, is it looks like, it looks like in the polls, Doug Jones is a Democratic candidate.
He looks like he has an advantage.
There are a couple of journalists in Alabama that still think Roy Moore has a chance if he stays in the race, which is a whole other thing.
Because now everyone is like, except for Sean Hannity, is telling him to get the fuck out the way because you are a pedophile.
to get the fuck out the way because you are a pedophile.
Well, the polls say, I saw a poll that was like, in light of Roy Moore's, you know, what came out about him, are you more likely, less likely, or no difference in whether or not
you would vote for him?
And it was like pretty evenly split with like a good 30 something percent saying more likely.
Right.
Because they feel he's being targeted in the media for his totally
healthy and normal targeting of teens at a mall right and he was actually at he uh appeared at
some kind of uh conservative christian values like event yet last night and they gave him a
standing ovation walked in and he was like shaking hands with kids so it's uh i mean so who knows i
mean like the the whole the options are like he stays in and wins and then they immediately
do an ethics investigation to unseat him.
But that hasn't happened in like since like the 1860s, I think, when like senators were
moved for supporting the Confederacy.
Oh, yeah.
I remember that.
Yeah, I heard about that.
And then there's like guys like I think John Ensign, who is another senator who had to
like he had an ethics investigation
that would have unseated him but he resigned before a lot of people who have done this they
typically resign before the investigation is concluded but then that messes up the vote math
in the senate because it's already close like then if doug jones wins like we're talking much closer
senate it's it's all like it's all very tight so they're all like trying to figure out like what
do we do do we have jeff sessions come back do we you know does trump ask him to leave
yeah they've got uh people doing doing a lot of weird math trying to work it out it's but i mean
you should have known like this is what happens when you allow this kind of like rhetoric to enter
your party yeah maybe you should have made roy moore do a little more math before he started uh
hitting on 16 year olds right hey guys let's play let's do a little more math before he started hitting on 16-year-olds. Right.
Hey, guys, let's play a little game.
Let's play Roy Moore or R. Kelly.
This is a website that somebody put up.
So my really good friend, Ali, shout out to you in Brooklyn, showed me this website called Roy Moore or rkelly.com. And it basically has an anecdote or an actual story or testimony of something that happened.
And you're supposed to guess if this was Roy Moore's actions or R. Kelly's actions.
And this is a very difficult game to play because these people are both disgusting fucking predators.
Right.
So it's not like married Aaliyah when she was 15.
It's not recorded remix ignition.
Yeah, exactly.
Hot and fresh out the kitchen.
Mama rolling that body got every man in here wishing that you were 18 years old.
So this is, I'll hit you with the first one.
And then you tell me if it's Roy Moore or R. Kelly that did this.
Blank allegedly picked up a 16-year-old girl at the courthouse outside a hearing.
She says he was aware of her age and seemed excited by it.
Roy Moore. R. Kelly.
It's R. Kelly. What?
Outside of, wasn't it his trial
for sexual abuse?
Yeah. How about this one?
Blank allegedly picked up an 18-year-old
girl who was working at the jewelry counter at the mall
then took her to a Chinese restaurant
with a bottle of rosé wine.
That sounds like an R. Kelly move. Sounds like Roy Moore. It's a Roy Moore move. I should have known because of the mall, then took her to a Chinese restaurant with a bottle of rosé wine. That sounds like an R. Kelly move.
Sounds like Roy Moore.
It's a Roy Moore move.
I should have known because of the mall.
The mall, yeah.
But the rosé made me think.
Right.
R. Kelly.
Okay, let's do another one.
Blank allegedly met a 14-year-old girl when she was working as an elf in Santa's workshop
at the mall and told her she was, quote, pretty.
Two years later, he saw her at the same mall and asked her out on dates in front of her mother.
Roy Moore.
Ding, ding, ding.
What gave it away?
It was all the mall shit.
And the mother's permission, maybe?
Oh, yeah, the mother's permission.
Did she give permission?
Wasn't that one of his defenses?
Yeah, he was like, I never dated anyone without their mother's permission.
Yeah.
You didn't hear that?
Holy fucking shit.
Isn't that amazing?
Wow.
How old was he at the time?
I don't know
this is probably him being probably in his 30s wow wow yeah never dated anyone without their
mother's permission bro so yeah again uh this website at the end once it uh you do complete
the game it does like sort of redirect you to donate to uh some good non-profit charities
so it's not just there purely to be salacious, but it is
again, very disturbing when you
put these things together. Can we do any more?
You want another one? Alright, we'll do one more.
Blank allegedly picked up a 14-year-old girl at the courthouse
outside her own parental custody
hearing. He took her to his house
after dark, disappeared into his bedroom
and reappeared wearing only
tighty-whitey underwear. This has to be
Roy Moore. Yeah, that's Roy Moore.
R. Kelly would never wear tidy whiteys.
Yeah.
You think he just wears leopard skin everything?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He has to.
Leopard skin banana hammock.
Yeah.
I don't see him wearing anything but like...
Gold lame.
Exactly.
Just leafed on.
Wow.
Okay, hold on.
I need a minute.
Yeah.
Getting preyed upon by an older man outside your parental custody hearing is really a new low.
Oh, we'll just do one last one.
Are you going to top that?
Blank allegedly took a 17-year-old girl to his home so he could read her his poetry and play her his music.
That's R. Kelly.
That's Roy Moore.
Shut the fuck up!
Yes.
That's Roy Moore?
It's in a Washington Post article.
No way.
Wait, what?
Yo, this is his music? Leak the tapes. What are these recordings? It's in a Washington Post article. No way. Wait, what? Yo, this is his music?
Leak the tapes.
What are these recordings?
I do not know.
Where's his chat book?
I do not know.
I think this is from the same woman when they broke the story, Lee Korfman.
Wow.
I want to hear his poetry that he read, too.
It's like Dr. Seuss mixed with, like, who knows.
Right.
I want to fuck.
You know what I mean?
It doesn't matter that you're a teen.
Right.
There it is.
All right.
So you have some experience in writing this sort of poetry.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, no.
With your totally adult, not a pedophile boyfriend, right?
Yep.
She ghost writes pedophile poems.

I want to give a
