Please welcome back to the show, Oz Voloshin! Oz Voloshin! Thank thank you thank you so much jack and wells very nice to be back oh it's wonderful to have you great to have you where are you coming to us from oz i am coming into you from the jv soho house which is called soho works
Starting point is 00:07:19 it's a co-working space with a soho house branding but but a WeWork way of life. Oh, I love that. So there's quite a lot of activity around me. So I hope there's no audio bleed, as we say in the industry. Did you say you're coming into us from? Is that a Britishism? I feel like that's what they always said on news broadcasts back into the day. Coming into you from.
Starting point is 00:07:41 It does sound a bit lewd now you mentioned it. Yeah, it sounds awesome. I love it. I wish that was an American thing too. That rules. Awesome. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:50 We were just talking about Soho House. Soho House works, which is like their WeWork, but fancier, I guess, than WeWork. What's like the membership annually to like Soho House?
Starting point is 00:08:02 What is it like 20,000? 40,000? What is it it more than that like global domination plans it's funny i was um with an italian friend and soho soho house has belatedly opened in rome and everyone in italy is very excited and they have a global no nuts policy in sohouse because of nut allergies and apparently now it's becoming very chic at parties in Rome not to serve nuts because that's what happens at Soho House. Wow. That's the influence. Amazing. Quite amazing. Let's see. If you get the all houses option and you say you use the main Soho House. Which you need most. Yeah, you got to go everywhere. What, I'm going to be
Starting point is 00:08:42 in Rome this weekend for a night and I'm not going to stop at the Soho House? Are you under 27? That's a question. Annual cost? Oh, $4,899. No, I hasten to add full. So who works? Yeah, yeah, of course, of course, of course.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Yeah, I'm just, it's always funny to see because like every time I've been to like the Soho House in. for like an industry thing, I'm always amazed at the people. I'm like, wait, people are paying money to be here? Like in here? Okay. Okay. I mean, I get it because it's so industry. Like it's so tapped in. Like I know that L.A. people are like they just want to be up in it wherever.
Starting point is 00:09:18 But got to say, it just feels like, I don't know. You know that anecdote I always tell about tom cruise coming up the stairs while i'm coming down and he's just like hovering like a vampire above the stairs he just like seems to be off the ground like his height is not the thing you notice the thing you notice is that he he like moves around like dr manhattan with like sheer charisma that happened at a soho house i don't belong to the soho house but i know people who do that's where you see things like that's where you see shit like that oh wow it costs so much more if you're under 27 okay they treat it like a rental car they're like if you're
Starting point is 00:09:56 under 27 we don't want you in our exclusive yeah what do they think's gonna happen that you're gonna piss all over the furniture because you're a baby. That is going to happen, actually. Would have for me as a 27-year-old. Oz, you have a new show about murders that happened in the 80s in Miami. Not surprisingly, cocaine, not far away from it, the CIA. But can you tell us a little bit about the show? What interested you about this story? Yeah, so the show is called Silence the Radio Murders, and it's about the unsolved murders of four radio DJs or radio journalists, in fact, in Miami in the early 90s.
Starting point is 00:10:46 interesting is that all of the crimes were treated basically individually, and the victims were perhaps predictably smeared as being involved in drugs, which they weren't. They were all Haitian exiles who'd moved to Miami fleeing the Duvalier regime. And the killings happened at this incredibly hopeful moment for Haiti when they had their first ever democratically elected president in 1991. first ever democratically elected president in 1991. And these guys in Miami were using their radio shows to promote this president Aristide, to raise money for him, to mobilize the community. And then they got murdered one by one. And in the meantime, there was a military coup that overthrew Aristide. The military figures who led the coup, it turned out later, were all on the payroll of the CIA at the time, and also major narco traffickers. And the radio guys in Miami were calling us out on the airwaves when they got killed. So I read a report that my co-host, Anna Arana, wrote about the crimes
Starting point is 00:11:36 in the early 90s, where she called for a federal investigation, where she said, this is basically an outrage. And I called her up and I said, whatever happened? And she said, nothing. So we started working on this podcast together. you know trying to speak out in favor of justice and they get killed and the killer's goal is just like achieved like that they're silenced and they get forget and forgotten and like we we've seen that a lot in the u.s with people like fred hampton and you know malcolm x and who are killed before they're able to have like the massive impact they surely would have. And yeah, it's wild that you found an example like that, that is just still unsolved, which I guess that's also the case with Fred Hampton and Malcolm X.
Starting point is 00:12:37 But yeah. And this is a small community. I mean, this is Little Haiti in Miami, which at the time had about 60,000 people. So if you kill four of the most vocal of those 60,000, and no one is brought to justice, it unfortunately, it works. And what's particularly bitter is I would say that the guy Fritz Dore, who was kind of the leader of this group, who was the second person to be killed, he'd actually fled Haiti on a boat because he'd won this national competition to be a school principal. But he refused to accept his award on stage with baby Dr. Vallier and basically had to flee. He was on a boat for 14 days. He arrived on December 26th, I think. The boat was almost smashed to pieces by a storm. he got to miami and he thought okay well i had to leave my family behind had to leave everything behind but at least here i can speak freely and call out you know the reasons why i had to leave
Starting point is 00:13:29 and of course he was wrong yeah yeah it's a it's a pretty bracing kind of portrait of like what it's like to live under dictatorship and like there's a part where like baby ducks like henchmen just show up like start appearing in miami and everyone's like oh fuck oh yeah yeah yeah i mean like he has like literal henchmen like uh like foot soldiers yeah yeah they were basically spies and they they compiled this thing evocatively known as the black book which had the names of the most vocal enemies of the regime in miami yeah and it was reported back to haiti and you know go figure wow yeah the cia i think yeah they had a hand in uh that huh especially i mean like when you look at the history of haiti of like you know the like one of the the only place to like sort of liberate
Starting point is 00:14:23 themselves and then the backlash that's happened in the form of like just financial terror. Uh, yeah. I'm like, Oh, and the CIA. Okay. Yeah. They're also part of that to sort of maintain that, that pain campaign. Yeah. All right. Oz, 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 the republicans are mad at kevin mccarthy yeah for refusing to destroy the economy and like a bunch of jobs and stuff because that would have been good for presidential election they don't know what a default is but they like the word that's one thing i've gathered like well it should have default they're defaulting on the default and that's the true default yeah so my default here is that we should be defaulting
Starting point is 00:15:06 so we'll just talk about the the fallout from the potential deal taylor swift concerts are causing mass amnesia apparently this is just a weird story that i as somebody who has suffered from like i don't know like weird little bouts of memory loss especially in the past like five seven years this is really interesting to me because there's like psychology today articles about like what could be the cause of this and how memory works and a lot of the ways that they're saying memory works is not like what i what i school. It has nothing to do with her fans trying to memory hole that she's with Matt Healy. No, it seems like it has more to do with them being so blissed out by the concert that they can't. Truly the great, the best.
Starting point is 00:15:58 This all might be a viral marketing stunt for the Taylor Swift tour. It's so good you won't remember it. It's so good it won't remember it. It's so good. It will obliterate your frontal lobe or whichever lobe stores memories. We're going to talk about 83-year-old sex machine Al Pacino is expecting a new baby.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Oh, no. I have a loose theory about the Pacino De Niro. Paciro, I like that. The Paciro. I ship them. That's my loose theory. I ship them. I want them to be together. No, the like, they're competitive with each other
Starting point is 00:16:30 and that's why he's having a baby at 83 because De Niro just had a baby. Right, we were just talking about that. All of that, plenty more, but first, Oz, we do like to ask our guests what is something from your search history? Well, I recently got married to a thank
Starting point is 00:16:48 you so much to a german woman and so i've been trying to learn german i do weekly an hour a week on zoom and so my german teacher said i think you're ready to graduate from abcs and so she instructed me to google deutsche krimis, which means German crime mysteries. And so I ordered a German crime mystery book for beginners and excitedly tore it open from the Amazon packaging. And then I unfortunately couldn't understand a single word. So it was a very disappointing experience. You're like, here we go.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Yeah, exactly. I was like, okay, I'm ready for the big leagues now. Sadly not. But hopefully one day I'll be able to understand my criminal history. Do you start with like teenage, like young adult crime novels when like you're learning a new language? Are they like, all right, here is the equivalent of like Judy Blume. You're going to need big words, like the font size to be big and the words to be small. The font size to be big and the words to be small. Embarrassingly, these are actually made for beginner German learners. So I should really be able to understand it. But it was a truly devastatingly underwhelming experience of encounter with my language skills.
Starting point is 00:18:00 I just love the enthusiasm. Like, yes, here we go. I've graduated. I'm telling you this. You're oh no exactly i was like i was like i don't really understand any of the vocabulary she's like that's okay if you have to if you have to look up like one in every 10 words and i was like meh it's more like one in every two i'm actually sobbing over the book right now but i'm looking forward to the book right now because I'm so disheartened. But I'm looking forward to the memory conversation because apropos
Starting point is 00:18:29 neuroplasticity, it's definitely much harder than it was in high school is one thing I've learned about learning languages. Because you're a polyglot, aren't you? Are you bilingual? Not a polyglot at all, no, but I learned French and Spanish in high school and it was definitely way way easier.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Yo tambien. Os. Yo tambien. Os. Yo tambien. Os. Or in Southern California, yo tambi. Tambi. Yo tambi. Brother.
Starting point is 00:18:57 What is something you think is overrated? Well, I was racking my brains on this, and actually, Miles, your comment about wearing shoes really resonated with me. I actually hate wearing shoes. There you go. I was reminded being in this last bowl at Soho Works. I used to work for a branding and strategy agency. And we had a meeting that I thought went quite well. And then my boss called me into a one-on-one huddle afterwards,
Starting point is 00:19:25 which I wasn't sure what the message was going to be. But he was like, we all saw you, including the clients, carrying your shoes around outside the meeting room. Please, please at work, always keep your shoes on. I was like, you know what? Very embarrassing, but probably fair enough. Wait, so were you going like sockless like full-on no no i had
Starting point is 00:19:45 socks i had red socks which is a terrible british habit and just just thinking i was you know nice low-key in the world wondering around shoes in the other which i feel like i've like i i get sometimes when i'll take my shoes off i've been at that place i'm like get these fucking shoes off and then like i'll walk to like the office kitchen and like my socks and i but the only time i remember getting in because i've been in a similar situation from like you're not wearing shoes i'm like you act like i'm in bare feet yeah yeah like different it's different it's different i'm at least respecting like i'm having some kind of foot covering on i just don't like the structure of my shoe and it's more comfortable so please leave me alone and I'll go back into my office and look at Reddit.
Starting point is 00:20:26 That's one of the articles every summer, which is like, what's the correct etiquette on the airplane based on the frontline experience of the cabin attendant or host or hostess. And the advice is always you're allowed to take your shoes off, but not your socks. But you have to take your shoes back on before you go to the bathroom which i'm i'm um i'm often oh yeah keen to do yeah you don't want to wear towels on your feet to go into a bathroom that's what i look that's what a sock becomes at that point but yeah i'm sorry i'm like looking there's a fly flying around here and i thought there was a bird in the miles no i'm about to clyde frazier this motherfucker like i'm like catch it real slow shake it around in your hand then release it. Just release it back in the room and let it start all over again.
Starting point is 00:21:08 I am big shoes on energy just for everyone. I have ugly feet that smell bad. So I've always kept my shoes on, and I've always looked upon people who just sit down on an airplane and take their shoes off with wonder and awe well my shit smell good so i don't that's great i'm never uncasing some stinky feet uh i'll keep the socks on because it's cold on the airplane like people who go bare feet in the fucking plane no that's a violation i will say that that is a violation an faa violation yeah yeah 100 i cleared out an entire dorm floor in a basketball camp when i was like 12 years old
Starting point is 00:21:49 with like my my socks oh no like that happened to like yo like the other wing of the dorm that's so funny what is that shit that happened to me in fifth grade not me but a kid in my school we went to this like camp and like we were in these dorms and his shoes smelled so fucking bad like everyone lost their minds and it kind of turned into like a low-key bullying thing yeah you're like yo this wasn't great and it was like he cried and shit and i remember like oh damn i'm glad my feet don't smell because that's how they get you yeah it was definitely formative and that's why I wear boots to bed. When I sleep, I keep my boots on.
Starting point is 00:22:27 I know. I remember when we were on tour once, you're like, hey, do you have some garbage bags and duct tape? I'm like, for what? Yeah. I will frequently, even if you're in a hotel with the windows that only open a crack, I will hang my socks out the window get the foot spray because and they're actually not that bad anymore it's just but i i'm pretty self-conscious about it right but the pain is already the trauma has already the pain is there the pain is what's something you think is underrated well i, I think it's going to be music to the ears of our overlords at iHeartRadio, but I'm going to say broadcast radio. Oh, no. For real.
Starting point is 00:23:11 Because AM radio brought the rise, the transistor radio in Latin America, I think, was a big driver of different leftist revolutions. And in Haiti, radio was absolutely huge, remains huge. And so when these victims of these crimes arrived in Miami, it was kind of interesting because there were these brokered radio stations where different communities could basically buy airtime by the hour. And so you would have a cookout or whatever else. And these Haitian arrivals basically started buying airtime and using the airtime to play music and stuff, but also to report on what was going on in their community in Miami, which was completely overlooked by all of the mainstream news outlets. And also to call out the abuses and what was going on at home in Haiti. And so it's pretty cool. Just I mean, obviously, it had a very tragic ending. But the idea of being able to take this like mass media tool into your hands and turn it into a weapon was kind of cool. And
Starting point is 00:24:21 literally, one of the sources said, you know, they had the guns, but we had the microphones. And so I was pretty inspired by just hearing about how this exile community found the only broadcast and communication technology available to them and use it as a tool to organize and to call out abuses and stuff. So yeah, I learned a lot about the history of radio reporting the show and some inspiring stuff in there alongside the uh obviously hellish hellscape of am radio and conservative talk which yeah why is it all conservative shit in the u.s do you have theories on that after doing the reporting on like how how it operates in other countries i guess conservative as much as i love that crackling uh cracking of the am dial no it's a really good question i don't know i mean i think it's you know i guess the conservative answer may be something like it was hard to get
Starting point is 00:25:10 booked on mainstream media before fox and so like am radio was the only place they could be and in fact i think it wasn't like somebody was i think i think i read something maybe it was when i was preparing to come on your show last time when you got sick, Jack. But it was about, was it Tucker or somebody else complaining about how electric cars didn't have AM radio dials? And this was seen as an assault on conservative values. That was something recent, yeah. Which obviously I don't think is the reason they don't have AM radios in electric vehicles. But it's a very cheap and efficient communication mechanism. And yeah, I guess one where you can reach an audience
Starting point is 00:25:47 without having to participate in any system. Yeah. Right. And I think the other thing is that AM radio lends itself to the Colin style, like talk radio, whereas FM doesn't. And that is like those dynamics just in the market of it, it becomes a completely different animal yeah you know like that's like why you get rush limbaugh and like that whole kind of thing where
Starting point is 00:26:10 just like you you're now doing this whole you're performing for just a gigantic audience constantly rather than like being kc k so i'm popping in between like hits the leftists are also not frequently booked in mainstream media and also disenfranchised. It's an interesting question. I mean, I guess Democracy Now! was a radio call-in show, but I don't know if that's AM or FM. That's FM. NPR, I guess, might be the sad answer to the question of, you know.
Starting point is 00:26:44 But it was interesting. At the time, were they were both they were like pro-military and anti-military radio stations and the anti-military radio stations were way more popular and yeah the anti-military broadcasters actually like successfully organized a boycott and got the pro-military broadcasters taken off the am dial in miami and that's when things really started to go like into overdrive and like they were getting death threats called into their radio shows and people turning up with guns and so like there was really a battle for control over the airwaves in miami which which unfortunately turned
Starting point is 00:27:12 yeah and physical yeah yeah in america when you try and do a leftist radio station like the hosts get murdered yeah it sounds like right no there's like tom hartman who's like has like a progressive radio shows like that yeah he writes constantly about how like like the left needs to have a comparable tool because it's just you know am radio talk radio is completely dominated by those conservative radios and when they do they just think it's like interviewing people which is completely different than what like concert, like what talk radio is. Yeah. Right. So, yeah. Interesting. Well, somebody who works for like an iHeartRadio or something should do something about that. Right now, I think all we got are the podcasts
Starting point is 00:27:55 carving out our little fucking nook right now. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back to talk about the news. 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.

Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling firsthand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives.

Starting point is 00:30:24 People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them. Why is that? I just come here
Starting point is 00:30:31 to play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese
Starting point is 00:30:39 is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game? And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. So it seems like McCarthy might have the votes to push the deal through to raise the debt ceiling, avoid a catastrophic default. And, you know, but the far right is trying to apply pressure in their own way. They're really I mean, I think there's a lot of fun when you look at what's going on with Kevin McCarthy, because, you know, he gave a lot away to become the speaker. If you remember, like, no, like, how many times to vote? And it was like, nah, nah. And then he kept going around. He was like, please, man, what do you want? Like, I'll fucking do anything. I'm just like, you can be speaker for a day, whatever. And so one of the big things that like, you know, that he sort of gave as an assurance to the conservatives, especially in the house freedom caucus, we're like, you're going to work with Joe Brandon. And we hate that is he's like, Hey, look, if I, if I run a foul, you guys can trigger a vote
Starting point is 00:32:13 of no confidence and you can, you can have me, you know, just get me out of here, whatever you want to do. Um, so just keep that in mind as all, as we talk about all of this. So they're really losing it. And what's really interesting is that, you know, they, a lot of the Republicans are talking about the default in a way that they don't think that eventually it's going to be experienced by all people in the United States. Like they think it's just like an optics thing that if Joe Biden loses, then like, oh, it's great rather than like the real consequences of like doubling the unemployment rate or people's stonks going fucking poof but you know what donald trunk told them that
Starting point is 00:32:52 default was good and i just want to play this this little clip from chip roy uh you know from the freedom caucus and the logic here member of succession chip roy yeah chip roy yeah exactly he's connor's other brother who they don't really talk about much he just i just want to play this for you because his whole thing is like saying like we can't do this deal because donald trump said no and that's about it but just listen for yourself because and he has no idea i guess me he's completely divorced from the reality of what default means for the economy president President Trump said he thought we should default rather than pursue this kind of lunacy. At the end of the day, the only person that would default in this town is Joe Biden,
Starting point is 00:33:33 unless Republicans default on the American dream by voting for this bad bill. That is why this group will oppose it. We will continue to fight it today, tomorrow. And no matter what happens, there's going to be a reckoning about what just occurred unless we stop this bill by tomorrow. The only person that's going to default is Joe Biden is really interesting. Because, again, they're playing fucking hot potato with a fucking ticking economic time bomb. And they're like, and then he'll have it. And then poof, it's all on him. But again, that was a lot of really cool use of the word default. But it was actually just a wonderful tossed word salad for all to enjoy. And many of the Freedom Caucus members are doing everything they can to try and tank the
Starting point is 00:34:18 bill. But it seems that McCarthy has the votes. So now, like they're just trying to poison the well as much as possible or have these like really low energy attacks. Let me play another one from South Carolina's Ralph Norman, who I think is admitting that he is unable to actually read the written work, I believe is what he's trying to say with this appearance on Fox News. So he's going to come in talk his biggest criticism right now. Aside from we shouldn't be working with joe biden is that it's just too long like it's such a big bill and we don't have enough time to read it keep in mind like that like other bills have been in the thousands of pages and he's going to get fact
Starting point is 00:34:56 checked a little bit here on like why he's like this is way this is there's no way we can vote on this because all he's trying to say is we can't vote on this but has the worst you know logical excuse here he negotiated bill that we hadn't even read uh it's like the pelosi days you got to pass before you can read it uh this needs to be but he is giving you 72 hours to consider it before you're asked to vote on it pelosi didn't do that and that's what the part of the 20 of us in january we got that but really for this seriousness serious of a bill affecting uh the dollars that it is and the financial security which is national security we ought to have a lot more time uh and i think the day is only 99 pages it's only 99 pages not not the 2000 plus that the uh affordable care act was well and yeah the uh
Starting point is 00:35:48 one of the biden bills was four uh 4 180 pages uh that we had less time to read all right you just fell asleep mid-sentence i'm gonna bail you out there ralph norman it's again but i love the the duality or like holding so many of these thoughts to be true. On one end, it's like, yeah, fuck it, default, because that'll fucking make Joe Biden look bad. But also like, but this is like with the severity, the seriousness of the financials and blah, blah, blah. It's like, well, which one is it? Does it not fucking matter if you default or is it that you have to read the bill because everything is so important? Again, that's just where they are, because all they need is some kind of financial crisis to win in 2024. That's their entire strategy right now is some
Starting point is 00:36:31 kind of crisis because it can't just be us saying we don't believe in body autonomy. Right. I wonder if they're still counting on their friends in Saudi to cut their oil production for the gas prices. That's prices. Yeah, exactly. I mean, there's a few different levers, but at the end of the day, it's not going to be because they changed their policies or their platform. It's like, make everything so untenable
Starting point is 00:36:53 that they have to say yes to fascism, I think. That's kind of the playbook they're trying to run. But again, here's the funny part, though, is that now, with all of this outrage, it's possible a lot of people are talking about like maybe we do fucking vote kevin mccarthy out as as speaker which would be so funny because he wanted so badly to be speaker and then he would probably become like come begging to hakeem jeffries and as the as the democratic minority leader to be like can you give me some
Starting point is 00:37:22 votes so i can be the speaker in which case oh it's just gonna be it's just gonna be total chaos yeah yeah i remember that that smile on his face when he won after like the 20th time and it's just like this smile will not last very long so turn that no unfortunately because yeah he's out here yeah like praising joe biden and stuff and the republicans just can't absolutely just can't stomach it. Meanwhile, like all the about Taylor Swift. Her concerts are sweeping the nation. Everybody's excited on social media, and they're so excited they're apparently suffering from mass amnesia. Because some Taylor Swift fans are reportedly attending Taylor Swift concerts and then have no memory of the event afterwards. It's called by people on social media,
Starting point is 00:38:26 not by the medical community. They're calling it post-concert amnesia. So what are people saying? That they're just like, are they truly like, I don't know what happened. One person claimed that if it hadn't been for a video of her at the show,
Starting point is 00:38:41 she would have told everyone that it didn't happen. Another person said she had spent so long dreaming video of her at the show she would have told everyone that it didn't happen another person said she had spent so long dreaming about what it would be like to see the singer in person she later claimed she couldn't grasp what was reality it's hard to put together what you actually witness so i don't know has she like has taylor swift i've seen the the like so there was a tweet that was like one of my tweets of the day that was like comparing the like stage design to the really complicated
Starting point is 00:39:10 shirts from season two of I think you should leave Dan Flashes yeah Dan Flashes super complicated shirt pattern yeah they're more expensive more expensive because the patterns are so complicated and like her stage design looks pretty complicated.
Starting point is 00:39:25 So I don't know if she's like done something that has like, I've never, I've never heard someone say it's hard to put together what you actually witness. Right. Before. I, is it because like part of me is thinking like one version is like hyperbole
Starting point is 00:39:41 from fans to talk about how amazing it was that you, you're like literally, I don't even know what happened it was so magical but like are there actual people like no i'm actually worried like i don't know what happened to me like more like on that level it's more like it was such a dream like i don't know if i was just out of body or whatever or i guess or they're saying like it's hard for me to specifically even call back something from the concert i know i was there but that's about it after that i just went into an absolute dream state if the cia were to align itself with an artist i feel like that would probably be the correct like that would be the choice oh yeah yeah right oh yeah i think so but it's a little i mean if the
Starting point is 00:40:25 idea is that it's such a transporting and extremely magical experience that you're literally not able to form memories it makes a little disappointing that i've certainly never i don't have ever experienced that i've definitely been drunk enough i don't remember what happened in college but um but the idea that has such a transcendent experience that you can't remember it kind of makes you wonder like what am i i'm missing out on the on the highs in life by not being a big taylor stan now i'm getting like FOMO because like i've seen artists that i've absolutely obsessed over yeah and been like i'm there i'm gonna be front row and i remember that shit like yeah i fucking it was magical like i was like i'm here i'm experiencing it exactly how i want to but yeah to your point i was i'm like so is there like another level like another level
Starting point is 00:41:07 are these people just getting really drunk for the first time like it was crazy i like had seven to 12 drinks and now i get no so according to one psychology professor this is something that can happen when someone is in a highly emotional state due to exciting or distressing factors. The neurons associated with memory start firing indiscriminately, which makes forming new memories difficult, which is the opposite of like I had always heard when you're in like a heightened emotional state. You are more likely to like have a like flashbulb memory you know like that's that's when you have those memories that really stick because you're like have this heightened state of arousal don't tell that to ron desantis who's denying people from guantanamo recognized him right how are they going to remember that it's like i don't know man people remember shit in those moments yeah what i
Starting point is 00:42:03 know some people claim not to remember parts of their own wedding is the example that they're giving so it's like and i so i've noticed this like with being a dad like i will look at a video that i've taken of my kids and it's like just there i'm like i don't remember that at all i don't remember saying those words at all i don't remember my kids looking like that because because i'm so like that has to do with just like I see them every day. So what they look like is just what they've always looked like in my brain. But, you know, I think there's something there that's like missing from my understanding of memory because the only thing that i had the only interaction between memory and emotional state that i've really had room for and like the thing that i built in when i was like a teenager based on like accepted knowledge was that like scared or excited you your memory like works better so but and then drunk, your memory doesn't work.
Starting point is 00:43:06 Those were the two things that I knew of that could affect your memory. That's my psych degree. And then there was also the stuff about repressed memories of abuse or traumatic experiences. But I had always kind of, because a lot of that stuff ended up being recovered through hypnosis
Starting point is 00:43:24 and led to it, involved in a lot of the satanic panic stuff. But it does seem like there's a little more here where like there are forms of heightened memories or like excitement or, you know, like with my kids, it's like the love is so strong like my brain can't look directly like it's like trying to look directly at the sun or something your brain just like isn't big enough to take it all in is like kind of how it feels so maybe that's what they're experiencing with taylor swift concerts maybe there's a new merch opportunity like the uh the spinning coin in inception that could be sold to Taylor Swift fans before the concert. So they knew their thing. Far you know you're here. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Because she's a master of repackaging things they already have. And be like, well, what about this version? This will only be available for 24 hours. And it has half a song on it that you haven't heard. How about that? Buy that. But yeah, maybe she does start selling reality totems. So if it keeps spinning, you know what's going on,
Starting point is 00:44:27 which is funny because when you say that, Jack, the first thing I was like, well, this has happened at Beyonce concerts because that's the only other group of people who I feel like I get the Swifty connection. Like these people, the parasocial relationships that they have with Taylor Swift is to the next level.
Starting point is 00:44:39 So like, I can tell that they're already like operating in like a psychological space that might be different than other fandoms. But it's interesting because the only thing I was like, I just searched Beyonce post-concert amnesia and an article just came out 10 hours ago. Oh, yeah. Oh, Beyonce fans also getting post-concert amnesia at Renaissance. So I'm like, is this a marketing thing? Like, what the fuck is this?
Starting point is 00:45:00 Could just be a few people on Twitter reported not being able to remember something and everybody jumped on it. But like, I mean, there are psychology professors and like this Psychology Today article claiming that like we focus this Psychology Today article totally does not vibe with like how I feel like my memory works. They're like, you focus on experiencing the world not remembering it so if people are truly living in the moment and enjoying the concert they're not necessarily doing the work of trying to make new memories it's like i don't intentionally ever make memories i'm not like oh i'm remembering this so fucking hard right now jack you member in you member in right now this is good remembering that's happening but yeah so i don't know but i get look i'm again all i take from this is i'm actually i have fomo that i've never blacked out at a concert
Starting point is 00:46:00 like that wasn't chemically induced for understandable reasons that wasn't chemically induced yeah okay that wasn't me abusing xanax or some shit yeah yeah like i'm talking about like i'm fucking levitating because i love the artist so much now what is the swifties again or i'm part of me like the joke the jokey side of me is like i think they just want to forget that she's with maddie Healy and all that that's happening right now. Right. Yeah. Anyway.
Starting point is 00:46:27 But is the concert like, I guess it's hard to ask this question because you can't really. But like, are people saying it's like a really great concert who aren't like inherently huge Taylor Swift stans? Oh, I don't know. I mean, the people who I know who are taylor swift fans who have gone i feel like everything's been so pot like no one is saying a bad word about it yeah obviously because the tickets were so fucking expensive and hard to get i think that's the other part of it too is like you're probably so stressed because you spend like a fucking mortgage payment and a half trying to get a ticket to the show yeah but yeah i mean the other thing is too
Starting point is 00:47:03 they're wearing people are wearing uh adult diapers to the shows no yeah really because they don't want to miss a thing like there's a bunch of tiktok clips of like people helping their homegirls like get into some diapers another person was like uh was like taking a selfie videos like i'm at the show and nobody knows i have diapers on and then you like move back and they're clearly wearing diapers like under their skinny jeans like yo actually yo uh something going on with your yoga pants i'm seeing a thin blue line appear in the front like a baby's diaper but yeah like again i and i get that part like i i think i've told this story i peed myself at the front row of jay-z at coachella a few like 10 years ago because i did not i didn't
Starting point is 00:47:52 want to miss anything and i when i saw how far i would have to travel to go to the restroom and then fight through a fucking gigantic pit to get to where i was i was like no we're doing this right here yeah so and also like we already mentioned, everything about you, your pee smells fantastic. So it didn't matter. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm very well hydrated. You know what I mean? You're not going to get that sort of terrible uric acid.
Starting point is 00:48:15 Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Not with me. It's basically water, baby. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer of the hit Netflix documentary series Dancing for the Devil, the 7M TikTok cult.

Starting point is 00:50:40 Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry. Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese. I know I'll go down in history. People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game. Every great player needs a foil. I ain't really near them boys. I just come here to play basketball every single day,
Starting point is 00:50:54 and that's what I focus on. From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports. Angel Reese is a joy to watch. She is unapologetically black. I love her. What exactly ignited this fire? Why has it been so good for the game?
Starting point is 00:51:11 And can the fanfare surrounding these two supernovas be sustained? This game is only going to get better because the talent is getting better. This new season will cover all things sports and culture. Listen to Naked Sports on the Black Effect Podcast Network, iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke. And we're back. Jack, is there an artist you would go to the bathroom on yourself for?
Starting point is 00:51:44 Who would you wear adult diapers for? Radiohead. Kendrick. I thought you said Hendricks. Hendricks, bro. Oh no, Jack. Yeah, those are kind of big ones. Radiohead I've seen a number of times and they're always
Starting point is 00:51:59 great and Kendrick I've never seen. I remember actually on the subject of, I didn't have any diapers, i encountered a i guess a video game arcade machine for one of the first times i was about nine or ten years old and i was so delighted by it maybe i was a bit younger maybe six or seven but definitely uh wet myself while playing the game because out of pure excitement you're like i can't let this go go. I couldn't. I was like beating level two and I was like, I can't let this go. I get it. But totemic memories, maybe the soiled diaper could be the clue as to whether or not you're already there.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Yes. For Taylor's concerts. Just everyone strap on an adult diapy and then, you know. Are we assuming this is mainly number one or some number two action in that. Yeah, you just like, you put on the diapers and then you blink and suddenly the diaper is full and you're back at your house with like a glow bracelet
Starting point is 00:52:54 around your wrist. Oh no. Full diaper. What is that smell? I was there. Are you experienced? Yeah. I was there. Are you experienced? No. Where were we?
Starting point is 00:53:11 Where were we? Where were we? Chris Christie is going to announce his doomed presidential run, I guess, next Tuesday in New Hampshire. See you next Tuesday. We'll all look forward to that chris what does he think he's gonna do just debase himself and humiliate himself all over again like he did in 2016 that is the that is the main thing that this news has brought is like people being like so what's the play here like what does he think because it ain't winning yeah
Starting point is 00:53:41 he's he's definitely not gonna win but does he know that does he know he's not gonna win some Because it ain't winning. trump and that allows nikki haley and like de santis and all the other people who aren't willing to to continue to run without so that is the dumbest idea i've ever heard whoever even that doesn't even make sense politically it's like will you be mean to him so the other people don't have to it's like well trump's is going to tear their asses down too so then what yeah yeah exactly christy gonna be chris christy be like hey leave nicky alone motherfucker like he's not he's gonna fucking he's gonna fold like a motherfucking uh like a fucking chair at an aa meeting that's what's gonna happen he's gonna collapse and that's all that's gonna happen and the only thing i can think of is that his ego
Starting point is 00:54:42 like people are gassing him up and he's on some Jimmy Butler, like revenge shit where he's like, I know I was humiliated, but this time I'm going to go so hard. I may be able to win. Yeah. Don't do that to Jimmy Butler, man. Come on. But you know what I mean? Like, I think he has, I think he may have that in his mind. Like he said, he's going to go so hard this time that maybe he can win because that's the one thing we've said.
Starting point is 00:55:05 Whoever the person with the most interesting chance is whoever can go the hardest at Trump. Yeah. And none of them can do that. Christie, maybe people are theorizing he can. He cannot. He is not built for it. But, yeah, I mean, like the idea that he will come in in the debate and like take trump down a notch or two is ridiculous because like you know the hit trump supporters are not waiting for the right piece
Starting point is 00:55:31 of information to be revealed to then like be like oh i guess we were wrong like that right that's not the thing but i i don't doubt that that could be like something that other candidates are hoping will happen because we've seen like misguided strategy political strategies all the time but the thing that makes it makes me highly skeptical that he is like basically lead blocker for desantis pence haley and others is that like that is just not how narcissistic megalomaniacs operate like he is not doing this because he thinks it will benefit somebody else he is doing it because he thinks it will benefit him because he thinks he has an outside chance i'm sure maybe um maybe he'll get rick santorum's chair on cnn as the
Starting point is 00:56:21 yeah award for his uh he He's already on CNN. He already has everything. He's already got everything he could dream of. You have to wonder, I mean, I guess he's going to raise some money. I mean, it's these entirely quixotic decisions where they come from. And I mean, yeah, the idea of him as like a white knight in this scenario is not very plausible. It looks there's a gigantic super pack already sent set up for him so there's clearly
Starting point is 00:56:49 the donor class thinks there's something about him running that could help i don't know in what way but i don't know i mean like i would i don't know it'd be interesting i'm curious to see if anyone has what it takes to get trump like a little bit frazzled with their like rhetorical style like trump does with his like i don't know like if you're if chris christie was just super like sarcastic on a debate stage would that help he's like yeah donald that's a really good idea guy like what does that do like versus donald trump is an un-american tyrant doing that kind of thing. Like trying to be like speaking truth to power.
Starting point is 00:57:27 I don't know. I feel like you have to be like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure. You baby. Like take it, take the discourse there. But there were, there are probably people who would be successful at that. They're probably not career politicians. No, no.
Starting point is 00:57:41 I mean, that would be, that'd be a fun thing to be a plant, just to, like, blow up the debate stage every time. Anyway, Koch brothers, if you're interested, I'm willing to offer my services to debase myself on a debate stage. There you go. All right. Well, Oz, it's been such a pleasure having you on The Daily Zeitgeist. Where can people find you, follow you, hear you, all that good stuff? Where can people find you, follow you, hear you, all that good stuff? Well, I've got a Twitter, at Oswald Oshin, and the podcast is called Silence the Radio Murders, which you can find wherever you get your podcasts, including, of course, the iHeartRadio app. Of course, where we all listen to our podcasts. Of course, of course.
Starting point is 00:58:18 I should download that, actually. But thank you so much for having me back on the show. Thanks for doing it. Always a pleasure. Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying? I'm not sure if you followed the Radiolab guy, Lateef Nasser's tweet thread about the Afghan violinist.
Starting point is 00:58:38 It was about a month ago, but basically he got asked to bring a violin from the East Coast to the West Coast to give to this Afghan guy. And the guy was kind of hard to pin down and Latif was annoyed with him. But finally they met up and he realized when they met up, like why he was hard to pin down because he was working like, you know, four jobs and didn't have, you know, some of the right to sell contract or whatever it was. But he gave him the violin and turned out the guy had been one of the violinists on Afghanistan, which was Afghanistan's answer to American Idol until the Taliban came back in 2021. And now this guy has the violin.
Starting point is 00:59:15 And not only that, I think Lateef organized this big campaign to raise funds to basically relaunch the guy's music career in the US, which is very heartwarming. And actually, one of our next shows at Gladioscope is called Afghan Star, and it's all about what happened to the producers and singers from that show, many of whom are now living in Istanbul. So it's an amazing story. It's obviously a sad one, but also kind of uplifting
Starting point is 00:59:40 that this music still provides some community. And so you never know when you're out and about in wherever you live you know who who the person working at the mall or the uber driver and what their story might be and so yeah i was i was very cheered by by that one and and just you know the idea of uh the power of music you know you have to make you forget or or uh you wear diapers when you're listening to it but uh but but i was uh i thought that was very moving and uh and i came across on twitter so shout out to elon what if there was just a piece of music that was so good that it made everybody soil them immediately that's that's a little no peace on earth i think that is the
Starting point is 01:00:23 dawning of the age of aquarius actually miles where can people find you what is the work of media you've been enjoying find me at miles of gray where they got at symbols uh find jack and i miles and jack got mad boosties if you like the nba talk that's where we do that and if you like to hear trash reality talk i do that with sophie alexandra on 420 day fiance uh let's see uh i don't really have any tweets that i've liked recently uh but i will say i just started watching the new season of the other two and that shit has been bringing a smile to my face i'm only one episode in but i'm already fucking it's just so fucking good man that show is great so i i really am enjoying
Starting point is 01:01:04 season three of i think you should leave which dropped yesterday i'm like i have a pact with like two friends like are we gonna watch like i haven't done this kind of shit since i was a child or like maybe in college they'd be like yeah we're watching it together i just i needed it yesterday i just locked myself in my office and watched it for like an hour and a half. And it was great. Just choking back like all the laughter. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:29 All good. I like to hear that. Yeah. Miles has seen what I think you should leave does to me. In public. Not dissimilar to the Taylor Swift thing. Not really. Tweet I've been enjoying Jamie Loftus at Jamie Loftus help tweeted.
Starting point is 01:01:45 My algebra two teacher has found my book about hot dogs. Again, her book, Raw Dog, The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs came out last week and she screencapped this message. Speak your piece. Saw a piece of you in the week magazine. I had you as a math student at Brockton. Great to see you doing well. Congratulations. My ask, colon, what?
Starting point is 01:02:07 Work the importance of math into your work it is a big ask but people need to hear the message hope you are well so if you have ever had a teacher who you know you didn't like or who made you feel badly about yourself just understand they're probably like socially maladapted weirdo who, you know, would go on social media and be like, hey, could you make your next book about math the thing that I taught you? But then it like bums me out
Starting point is 01:02:37 because you know like how, like whatever that teacher is up against, like kids just don't give a fuck about math no more. Can you put it in your hot dog book yeah instead of hot dogs how about some hot math problems how about some hot logarithms hot logs and then this was the tweet that i think i was referencing yesterday or on a recent episode uh luke at luke o'neill 47 tweeted smoking is a gross deadly habit wouldn't recommend it at all i nonetheless do it and it rules that said it is honestly shocking
Starting point is 01:03:12 that the anti-smoking campaigns of 20 plus years ago actually worked in the u.s don't think they would if started now real under the wire shit there it is it's just crazy how much that and and i don't think like oz when you go back to europe like is how much more prevalent is smoking there than it is in the u.s it's wild i mean especially in uh in france it's like everyone's smoking it's still the 80s there yeah it's still the 80s yeah it's crazy i can't imagine it's also it was's still the 80s there. Yeah. It's still the 80s. Yeah. It's crazy. I can't imagine. I was there quite recently. I was genuinely puzzling this very thing. It's like,
Starting point is 01:03:50 how can every young person just smoke the whole time here? It's bizarre, but they do. Yeah. Anyways, it worked. Those campaigns worked,
Starting point is 01:04:01 I guess. Maybe that's why Americans are so miserable. You can find me on Twitter at... That's not the reason, by the way. Don't start smoking. You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien. You can find us on Twitter at Daily Zeitgeist.
