Hello, the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from this week, all edited together into one nonstop infotainment laughstravaganza. Yeah. So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. Please welcome Fizza Dosani!
Starting point is 00:02:29 What up! What up! Just me and my JNCOs. Hey, yeah, you are in full JNCO, and that's great to see. Anticipating the trends. JNCO brand jeans, yeah. Something about 1996. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:43 There's something super nostalgic about that year. What a year. What a time to be alive. That is when I was in all cross-colored, JNCO, Carl Canai, you know. Carl Canai! The good old days. Remember when y'all got the JNCOs with like the cool patch? It wasn't just a JNCO.
Starting point is 00:03:01 It would be like the skater or like the weird creature. And you'd be like, yeah, these are cool. These are actually the cool ones. They'd be wearing Jinkos too. Right. Yeah. The Jinko on the Jinko would be wearing Jinkos. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:14 It's like an Escher sketch out here of coolness. I embarrassingly have an MC Escher tattoo and not a cool one. What? Yeah. It's a wood dogs i'm so embarrassed about my tattoos i have the mc escher wood sketching of a fish like a carving you know for like a stamp and then i have i think i've talked about it before but i have starry night van goes starry night on my lower back but just the the sky. No buildings. That's dope. You are representing a freshman dorm room wall as well.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Yes, exactly. With your tattoos. So you have a Van Gogh tramp stamp. Mm-hmm. It's always an interesting conversation before sex with someone new. Hey, listen, you're going to see some stuff back there. It's not what you think, but it's not what you want. It's not what you think. It's not what you want. None of the above.
Starting point is 00:04:11 I do think that college dorm room art is underrated. It is a perfect encapsulation of like a, you know, an averaging of the zeitgeist of like over the course of 20 years.'s it's not not anything to be ashamed of i would say i think college dorm room art we we give it a hard time
Starting point is 00:04:31 because it we've all been that person who has those posters but we had those posters for a reason uh i wonder college students let us know but i feel like the college students now decorate their dorm like a real apartment no yeah probably i'm probably dating myself i know yeah i remember like when i first walked when i walked into my first dorm i just started crying because it was so fucking disgusting already you walked in and it was already just like a ashtray yeah i was like i'm gonna like not have any skin after cleaning this room. Yeah. Just from all the Lysol wipes and shit.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Yeah. That's a great question. I would be curious to hear what held over from when I was in college and what is new. What went away? Does everybody still have Bruce Lee and Muhammad Ali posters? And by everybody, I mean a bunch of dude bros. And Quentin Tarantino movies. Scarface.
Starting point is 00:05:34 Scarface, of course. Godfather. Rappers. I had all the Wu-Tang albums on my wall. Yeah, Godfather for sure. The first time I got really high, I was looking at my Godfather poster on my dorm room wall and the cat started to move. And that's how I knew I did not like weed. Not for me. Yeah. Yeah. I can't be the only one who had a cardboard cutout of James Dean
Starting point is 00:06:01 life size. I mean, the only one maybe on this podcast, but for certain not the only one. Definitely not the only one in Florida. Definitely not. What about the Marilyn Monroe cutout or black and white Marilyn Monroe with the red lipstick or a red rose? You all know what I'm talking about. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:19 A little Schindler's List effect on the Marilyn Monroe to let them know you're artsy. Schindler Monroe. There you go. Greta, we do like to ask our guests, what is something from your search history? Something that I searched recently was, well, okay. I mean, gold price per gram was something that I searched a few days ago. Obviously very important. Chrishell Stouse or whatever from Selling Sunset. Now here's the
Starting point is 00:06:54 thing. I'm not a big reality TV head. My husband loves Selling Sunset. So now I just like, I'm the person that I'm watching something and doing a full like Wikipedia deep dive about who they are at the same time. Clearly, you didn't do that while watching Los Espookys, which is good. But then I have like, you know, a bunch of other shit. I guess probably Rezzy is always up. I have a Google search for Michael Stipe up, you know, just kind of classic situations. What's Michael Stipe up to? What's Mike Stipe?
Starting point is 00:07:27 I don't think I've ever heard him referred to as Mike Stipe. Nah. Well, he lives in my friend's building. Oh, that's cool. And I was in my friend's apartment going to visit her, and I thought that I saw him, and it could not have been more opposite than what he actually looks like. So then I was like, do I have no idea as to what michael stipe actually looks like turns out i had no fucking clue oh so what did you what did you expect versus what it was because i have this guy that i see at trader joe's who i'm convinced
Starting point is 00:07:57 is michael stipe but i second guess every now and then when i kind of look closer. I think like in my mind, I know he's bald. But in the moment, I was like, he's not bald because there's something about him. Like he and Moby could potentially get like smushed together as being like bald white guys that wear glasses. Even though Moby has a bunch of like insane tattoos now. So he's very recognizable. I don't know. Shout out to his restaurant here in LA, Little Pine. It's very funny to me that Moby got a bunch of tattoos.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Wait, is Michael Stipe, how is he height wise? That's always something that I always top of mind for you. You know, you think that I would know, and I'm going to look it up for you right now. I guess the only other tab that would kind of be like inside into my brain is hippopotamus attacks. That's the other tab that I have open currently. You don't have to look it up for you right now. I guess the only other tab that would kind of be like inside into my brain is hippopotamus attacks. That's the other tab that I have open currently. You don't have to look it up. I was just curious if he struck you as taller or shorter
Starting point is 00:08:52 than you expected when you saw him in person. The gent that I saw in person was probably like 5'10". And now that I'm looking it up, Michael Stipe is 5'9". So I wasn't far off. Okay. Do you know what kind of car he drives? Sorry to ask. I don't think he drives a car.
Starting point is 00:09:13 Fuck. You think Michael Stipe has a car, man? He lives in New York. This guy, I'm telling you. I'm going to fucking take a picture of this guy who's this doppelganger that I see around my place. Just flick it up with him and be like... He lives in New York.
Starting point is 00:09:24 He's like the person that's always there. Oh my God, with him be like he lives in new york he's like a he's like of the person oh my god okay yeah he's not even here he's not even in this state no way you're seeing michael stipe i'm sorry i'm racist no but i am but like when you are a bald white man of a certain stature you could be michael stipe you could be jason statham you could be moby you could be you know there's a whole you could be Michael Stipe. You could be Jason Statham. You could be Moby. You could be, you know, there's a whole,
Starting point is 00:09:47 you could be Mr. Clean. There's a whole laundry list. Thank you. Okay. That makes me feel better. And I do suspect that the person that you were mistaking
Starting point is 00:09:54 for Michael Stipe like chose that lane. Was like, all right, I'm going to be a Michael Stipe bald. Right. That's going to be my lane
Starting point is 00:10:01 that people, you know, because you got to, you can't just like create create your own white guy space. His whole vibe was like, I'm wearing like an old vaporized t-shirt and I got like this shitty classic car that like works, but I'm not trying to front like it's fancy, but clearly it's catching your eye because it's older. And like, just being like like like moving like a ghost and he had like a big adam's apple and i'm like this is that's all very stipey except for the car i wouldn't i wouldn't expect him to like i also was it like a authentically burnt out tea or was
Starting point is 00:10:36 it something that was bought at like max fields it looked it the the vibe felt authentic to the point i was like this could be michael st. Cause it just felt like this wasn't like, this wasn't really overdone. Cause I remember one time I saw, you know, like remembering you. Yeah. It's Halloween.
Starting point is 00:11:01 I'm doing an REM costume. What's your problem? Like to Michael Stipe. I don't know, but I But it's like the same thing. One time I saw Diane Keaton out and I said, look at this Diane Keaton cosplay looking motherfucker. I was like, this person is trying to do Diane Keaton with the hat and the glasses and everything. And then I look closer. I'm like, oh, shit, that's that's the real deal. And then so I have those moments, too, where I'll be dismissive of the real thing.
Starting point is 00:11:25 Cause I'll be like, you look at you attempting this other person's style. It's jarring when you see someone that has a signature look and you see them out in the wild in the signature look. I saw Billy Porter at the airport and initially I was like, wow, that guy's dressed exactly like Billy Porter. And then I was like, oh no, it's actually just Billy Porter. Because he's the only person wearing completely crystal jeweled sneakers and like a gorgeous hat that is like high and tilted
Starting point is 00:11:55 and looked stunning very early in the morning. Keta's hand motions are suggesting this hat is taller than any hat I've ever seen. It was insanely tall. Yeah, like Abe Lincoln, 2X Abe Lincoln. No way it could. I bet when they sat in the airplane, it was touching where the lights and the AC is. And I don't see him playing that either. He'd be like, I need a new seat because I'm not taking my hat off and it's touching the air conditioner nozzle.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Did we discuss this before when Diane Keaton and her signature look came up? All right. Did we discuss this before when Diane Keaton and her signature look came up? The question of like, are there other actors who have just been like, ah, this is what I look like. Like, this is kind of how I dress and this is how I'm going to dress in all my movies.. Right. He's on Search Party this season. And, like, how he dresses. You would compliment him on something. And he'd be like, these are mine. Like, everything I wear is mine. Yes. Of course.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Oh, like, to set, you're saying? You're like, oh, like, the stylist really. I would compliment, like, his rings. I'd be like, oh, I love your rings. Like, you know, costumes really hit it out of the park or whatever. That does sound like they're all just like his own his own stuff. I mean, he's a very jazzy dresser. And yeah, and he just, you know, he has zany style and i think that he has been another person to like the jeff goldblum style is now how you see him on and off the screen i feel like andy garcia also that's like my vibe with him
Starting point is 00:13:33 just always a suit yeah like or like on vacation like but rich person vacation with linen on i was gonna say linen and like a hat yeah yeah like that's because there's like a soccer player this bulgarian soccer player named dimitar berbatov and he was once told he looked like andy garcia and he said he devoted his entire style like his whole wardrobe is now informed by andy garcia because that's very funny offhand like you kind of look like andy garcia who's 20 years older than you i actually feel feel like Gabriel Iglesias always looks the same. Okay. Yeah, that's definitely, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:09 He has a style signature look. Yeah. Yeah. But we should circle back to hippo attacks because I'm sure everybody is thinking about those. I think Super Producer Becca Ramos mentioned that there's a TikTok about hippo attacks going viral. There are? Right now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:26 We were looking it up because it was on an episode of like, I Survived Death or whatever. I guess some podcast that my friend listens to. And we were all talking about this guy who survived this insane hippo attack. Yeah. And when I see hippos, I want to just like cuddle with them. Yeah. Because they look so cute. put them in a tutu
Starting point is 00:14:47 and call them sassy baskets well you know that they're like so fucking scary yeah the most deadly creature in africa i think it's wild and also their mouths i think they have like a 2,000 pound like jaw crush. Yeah. The eyewitness testimony about hippo attacks involves people being bitten in half a lot of the time. Which you don't hear that about sharks, even though. Right. Well, sharks don't mean to eat us. Right.
Starting point is 00:15:20 Yeah. Whereas hippos are like, I'm coming for you. Sharks are like, i thought you were a seal yeah right right yeah yeah yeah yeah it's on and they'll wave their little butts and their tails just like shoot shit out in like many directions that's like the one thing i remember seeing in the nature documentary yeah the shit fan they turn their tails into shit fans i wish i could that's pretty metal man yeah i would like that that would be pretty cool that would be a great way to you know you don't you don't need a receptacle to take it away from you because you have one
Starting point is 00:15:50 built in that just fires it across the yeah yeah blake what's something you think is overrated overrated hair on men's heads uh-huh uh-huh. I've been thinking a lot. My hair, it's creeping in the back. It's creeping in the front a little bit. I think I have a couple years left on it. I've been thinking about when my hair goes, I'll probably shave my head and grow a beard
Starting point is 00:16:17 or something. You're like, I can grow hair here. Oh, and then transplant it DIY style onto the top of my head. Please don't DIY your hair here. Oh, and then transplant it DIY style onto the top of my head. Please don't DIY your hair plugs. Alright. Comb up. Comb over from the bottom of the face all the way around.
Starting point is 00:16:32 I like that. Wrap it like a cocktail weenie. You'll need an ear hole, however, which is the one thing that's stopping me from doing that. It's the lack of symmetry. I'm sorry. Can you guys repeat that it's like i can't say anything to you the way you look i can't say shit to you yeah but yeah i like from people
Starting point is 00:16:53 i think it's one of those things where it's just a thing that men like think about more than anyone else does where when i see like a guy with a shaved head or something i'm not like ah you know it's just like oh that's just a guy that's like john there's a person jacob jingle yes okay jesus blake and it's october 1st and it's time to get fucked up sing all his favorite songs around the fire no yeah i like i remember when i was losing my hair i remember the His favorite songs around the fire. No. Yeah. I liked it. I remember when I was losing my hair. I remember the moment I, I caught onto it.
Starting point is 00:17:29 It was in the reflection of a, of a metallic elevator door. Oh God. Like I was like, yo, what's up with the corner of my hairline? And I remember going in. I remember I was in Japan at the time.
Starting point is 00:17:42 I remember asking like my relatives, my uncle, he was like, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That shit's going. Couldn't even give me the... And all the men in my... Because you inherit the hair traits from your mother's side. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:56 All of them are bald. So I've been knowing since like 10 years old, since I knew that was it. They're like, welcome to the show. Like, you're on your way, kid. And I remember my uncle was like, so I guess he made a joke. He's like, oh, show like you're on your way kid and i remember my uncle was like so i guess so i guess he made a joke he's like oh i guess you really are your mom's kid you're not adopted uh was the way he tried so there was good news there yeah rest his soul thank you it is interesting because i would never think of you not that it's a negative thing
Starting point is 00:18:19 but i would be like oh miles has the right head. You know what I mean? Like, I'm not I would never be like, oh, Miles is a bald gentleman or Miles is a guy without hair. You know? Yeah. Thank you. Like you're Miles. Yeah. Things I haven't thought of. But yeah, you know, again, I'm always raising my fist to the sky.
Starting point is 00:18:38 I'm like, did they have to figure out a covid vaccine before a hair restoration pill? Like, really? I thought you meant in pride with like bald solidarity. They have to figure out a COVID vaccine before a hair restoration pill? Like, really? I thought you meant in pride with, like, bald solidarity. But you mean, like, raising your fist to the sky in anger? Go check. I think Biles meant a COVID vaccine. Correct me if I'm wrong. A COVID vaccine for bald people.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Is that what you're saying? Yes, sure. That, too. That we will inherit the earth. Yeah, right. A lot of people don't know that, and we are breaking that on today's episode, but the COVID vaccine doesn't work if you're bald. No.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Which is why all those. Which sucks. Which is why I haven't left the house in seven months. What's something you think is underrated? Underrated, and I'm almost sad that Superbooster Anahosne is not here for me to hear me say this, but F1 Drive to Survive. And I also added a note here. Honestly, probably not
Starting point is 00:19:27 underrated, but I just started watching it and it rules. That show is amazing. If you have not started watching F1 Drive to Survive on Netflix, it does not matter if you're a fan of racing or not. It is the dopest show and now I'm
Starting point is 00:19:43 deep into F1. It's the best. Wow. And now I'm deep into F1. It's the best. Wow. And the season just ended, too. Yeah, season three just ended. No, no, no. Oh, the last F1 season. Yes, the last F1 season.
Starting point is 00:19:54 And mired in controversy. Very much so. Oh, my goodness. Oh, my gosh. But the show is just so well done. I also love how they have such contempt for Netflix. Like, while they're recording it, they're like, oh, it's you again. Okay, can you guys get it?
Starting point is 00:20:08 Exactly. Can you guys get out of here while we're having a serious conversation? It's like, right. It's spectacular. Shout out Total Wolf. Is there, so a question I'm hearing people in sports media talk about a lot is whether the, like, whether this strategy that has worked so well for f1 of like doing a really you know it's something that hbo kind of did with hard knocks or they would follow a team in the preseason but like doing that for the entirety of a season so that you get not just
Starting point is 00:20:41 like a single team's preseason, but the entire season with all the players and all the different like is that there was a rumor going around that they were going to do the same thing to professional golf. And that did not sound very interesting to me. Like, I feel like F1 is when it worked for F1 because it was a underrated sport. It was a sport that was like very exciting, very popular around the world, and just hadn't really broken through the way it should have in America. But I feel like golf, you're not going to get me to give a fuck about golf.
Starting point is 00:21:17 I think that's the thing, though, right? Golf clearly has enough of an audience that it's in the, you know, generating millions of dollars. But I feel like with golf, like the joy, the people, the way people get into watching like the PGA tour is because they golf themselves and they have a firsthand understanding of like what they're seeing and how different, like the skill that it takes to be a professional golfer and being like, oh man, that was great. I don't know if that translates like, yeah, it may be a can, if you can find a way for people to be like, actually like, you know, that was great. I don't know if that translates. Like, yeah, maybe it can if you can find a way for people to be like, actually like, you know, every stroke matters. But I don't think the cast of characters
Starting point is 00:21:52 are as interesting as like Formula One where they can get people fully invested. Because I took Formula One to me, it was like, it's guys in helmets driving in a circle. Yeah. And then that was my view. Then I zoomed in through
Starting point is 00:22:05 this show and i was like oh fuck okay it's it's got all kinds of fun shit going on deeply yeah yeah oh no again as i'll say it's the embodiment of malignant global capitalism let's be frank about like what the cars emblazoned with earth fucking companies and like human rights washing races and like fucking azerbaijan yes that it's it's it's definitely and and especially in season three which which uh stephanie and i are halfway through right now the way that they react to covid being like we just really want to get back out there and race is all like oh y'all really don't give a shit about yeah humanity or society or very insulated yeah extremely insulated but to your point about like uh it working for
Starting point is 00:22:46 other sports i think the fact that it is so small that there are only 20 drivers in the entire like sport of f1 definitely helps in terms of being able to concentrate on certain people like you couldn't do this for basketball where you know or football or any team sport with a bunch of players it would have to be a team it would have to be a team. It would have to be a team. Yeah, one team would be all the people you could represent. But also, and comparing it to golf, like, you know, you're right. Like F1 is, for lack of a better term,
Starting point is 00:23:15 extremely high octane. Like it's exciting. It is incredibly exciting when it gets down to the actual like racing part of it. Whereas golf, you're right. It would be kind of hard to get me to give
Starting point is 00:23:25 a shit about each stroke so i think f1 definitely yeah it fits into a very a very um thin window of like not quite understood but also small enough to cover all of it yeah i'm gonna say the nba if you could get buy-in from the 15 best players in the league and you were just following the 15 best players in the league and like their teams and you know usually one of the 15 best players in the league is going to win the title i think that would actually work pretty well it would somehow make basketball more popular yeah you know and and you know they're they're all about their global brand so i mean just yeah yeah if they have any eyes on you know not being beholden to other countries with their you know uh broadcast rights and things like that maybe you get a show out there to pull other
Starting point is 00:24:16 people in right but they do it with uh in the premier league amazon does a show called all or nothing and this season they're following arsenal so, all the banter around, like, the fans is like, I can't wait to see that. Like, you know, we have a great game or a shit game. We're like, can't wait to see what this looks like behind the scenes. Because, like, they're in the locker room. They're in the training. It's like you see them eat. I think, and yeah, shows like that, I think, do a good job of, you job of demystifying shit and getting you to care.
Starting point is 00:24:45 A rugby one would probably be good for the U.S. Interesting. Because that shit is ridiculous, super athletic to watch. Yes. And it's adjacent enough to American football that I think people would be like, holy shit, man. What is this? Fucking ruggers.
Starting point is 00:25:00 Yeah. I feel like the NFL is probably keeping that. They're killing any contract fouls because they're like, oh, this is kind of like a more fun version of ours. It's like an electric car. Right. Yeah, exactly. Who killed the rugby drive to survive? Who killed rugby sevens? All right. Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Starting point is 00:25:21 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. And I'm Clea Gray, former member of 7M Films and Shekinah Church. And we're the host of the new podcast, Forgive Me For I Have Followed.

Jessica and I will delve into the hidden truths between high control groups and interview dancers, church members, and others whose lives and careers have been impacted, just like mine.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Through powerful, in-depth interviews with former members and new, chilling, first-hand accounts, the series will illuminate untold and extremely necessary perspectives.

We're the hosts of Let's Talk Offline, a new podcast from LinkedIn News and iHeart Podcasts.

And all right, so it's time for 2022 predictions. Like I said, we nailed them last year. Anna did suggest that we were going to develop laser eyes.
Starting point is 00:29:50 And that one has yet to come true. But it's still early where we're recording this. It's still December 22nd. So eventually, you know, I expect that to happen. But should we just like run through, you know, I expect that to happen. But should we just like run through, you know, we put together some lists of predictions for the year 2022 from, you know, esteemed journalistic outlets like PureWow. I don't know what that is. PureWow.com. Their prediction list, they said, riding a wave of nostalgia, which i feel like we've been doing that's a that's a
Starting point is 00:30:26 trend i've noticed with a lot of these media list predictions is they just find a trend that's been going on for 20 years and they're like that that's happening for sure so they were like hey you're gonna see some reboots this year you're gonna see some stuff about like you know period pieces have you guys heard about these things they're coming yeah like it or not get ready sunshine uh hey buttercup wake up buttercup because a wave of nostalgia is about to crash on your ass so uh rise of raunchy comedy this one again feels like something that has been happening on and off for a while but i do feel like maybe there's been a lightning of the raunchy comedy that's how i feel isn't wet hot american summer like coming to series on hulu i mean i think it
Starting point is 00:31:20 was on in series on netflix like i don't know. Like two, three years ago. Yeah. Well, it's coming back, Buttercup. So, sorry to say. Get ready. I will say, I don't think that's good news for my mom because I said the word nipples around her. And she was like, don't say nipples. Oh, my God, you said nipples. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Ever. My mom won't say nipples either. She'll say the apex of the bust. What? Wow. I i mean that's so that's well put yeah so i mean i guess that's a great definition yeah i really appreciate the bust the apex of the bust suck my apexes but you know what what if someone has inverted nipples like that doesn't really work does it it? I think it does still. Because that's why I kind of like it.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Even if you don't have nipples, there is an apex of the bust. So I think it's inclusive. I think it's descriptive. And I applaud your mom. Listeners, is it inclusive? Nipples also are fine. Word. You decide.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Comment. I'm sorry. I'm getting off topic. And if it's not, sorry, buttercup. Yeah. Hey, buttercup. That's going to be something that people should know, is that we're coming hard in 2022. That's a prediction. We're going to be
Starting point is 00:32:41 doing a lot of, you know, oh, sorry. Are you too sensitive? Yeah, that's how prediction. We're going to be doing a lot of, you know, oh, sorry. Are you too sensitive? Yeah, that's how the daily zeitgeist is going to ride. We're going to get our mothers to say nipples. Yes, there we go. So the two good predictions I thought they made that I'm going to agree with, international content, you know, the Squid game thing is going to continue to happen
Starting point is 00:33:05 we're gonna see more and more international shows movies i feel like like we've it happened with movies with parasite and then with squid game but i feel like more and more it doesn't even need to just be like new ones people should just somebody needs to just be like yo there is an entire like century of great international movies and tv shows that most of you haven't watched so here watch them now i'm ready for them to remake the waltons the waltons wait what i'm gonna pull this up because my mom has a i just just got my parents the internet and the Fire Stick. So my mom will be like, the Waltons or horse movies. My mom keeps...
Starting point is 00:33:51 I just taught her how to talk into the Fire Stick and social, but horse movies and scroll over and they're all bad. And then she just always watches War Horse. We've watched War Horse twice. I've been here for two days. we've watched warhorse twice i've been here for two days um the waltons is an american historical drama television series about a family in rural virginia during the great depression and world war ii it was in it was released in the 70s so oh okay yeah blue ridge mountains is that like a wholesome show i think that's one of the shows that my parents would quote when I was younger and I didn't know what the fuck they were talking about. I think there was maybe a character named John Boy or something.
Starting point is 00:34:33 And they would call me John Boy because my name is John, officially. And I did not like that, but they seemed to get a kick out of it. They loved it. Yeah. Great. Waltons it. Yeah. Great. Waltons are coming back. And then horse movie is a genre. I think I would add that into the overrated category.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Horse movies? Horse movies? People like, you know, every now and then I like a good horse movie as well. Who doesn't? A nice spirit away, get a horse. I love horses. I do love horses. I love animals. love animals but yeah i don't know it's just something when i see like too many horses in the marketing like i just i'm just like it turns me off one too many horses ever's mom did just walk into the frame behind her i'm in the throatslashing motion to Fizza. I love horses. I do love horses. It's
Starting point is 00:35:28 just as a genre. I mean, I'm sure there's always an exception. Original docuseries is another prediction. Not that they will suddenly become a thing, but that they will keep getting good better yeah i i feel like we are at a time now where there is enough footage to make a compelling docu-series about everyone in the world so like because we're just constantly you know taking videos and pictures of ourselves. So I'm expecting documentaries and docu-series to get better and better in the coming years. It would be my pick. Ladies, y'all need to be coming to my window, hollering at me to come outside
Starting point is 00:36:16 and watch an original docu-series. Thank you. Thank you. I'm just going to say, there is one prediction that I do not like. I don't like that it's that says like it'll be television shows with like older women on the forefront you know which i think that's great time for older women to shine people in their 40s 50s and 60s yeah i don't like that they use the sex in the city oh it's called and just like that i always keep calling it like
Starting point is 00:36:41 and there we were and like it happens again like i can't remember the new name yeah but it's so bad it's like really i bet again riding the wave of nostalgia oh my god it's the ouroboros the snake is eating itself we got older women riding the wave of nostalgia and it's the same cast damn inception doing raunchy comedy they even mention another country so it's international content and the acting is so good it might as well be a docu-series yeah well she carries in a new podcast yeah so they can we get carrie on yeah carry get her, get her, the character Carrie Bradshaw as a guest. That is one of our predictions. Carrie, let's talk about Chris. Carrie Bradshaw will join as a guest.
Starting point is 00:37:31 And yeah. We got to ask her about why she didn't perform CPR. Mm-hmm. Yeah, she just, I mean, like she didn't do anything. She didn't call like 911. Like he was very much alive when she got there. She
Starting point is 00:37:49 came, she saw him, and she stood there for like 10 seconds. By the way, if you guys are listening to this and you're getting mad this is a spoiler alert, you're all on the internet and you've all seen the spoiler alert by now. You've all seen it on Twitter, Instagram, social media. You know it's so
Starting point is 00:38:05 don't don't come at us in the comments getting mad i'm also never felt less bad about spoiling something because it's not good i would say yeah would be my it's no emily in paris yeah it's not exactly i haven't i watched one episode of that and I said I'm supposed to feel bad yeah no that is good that you know they talk about second screen content where it's like supposed to be something you're doing in the background I think Emily in Paris is like fourth or fifth screen content where like you are watching something else while doing something while maybe doing a crossword puzzle and then like somewhere in the house, Emily in Paris is on and you like walk by it every once in a while and you're like, huh?
Starting point is 00:38:50 And then, you know, ignoring. Like a doctor's office. Yeah, exactly. It's doctor's office. Yeah. But yeah, it's first of all, not great. So you're not we're not spoiling that much. Second of all, they came for podcasts in a way that I found devastating when she said the podcasts are the new jury duty. I was like, well, she said, oh, I didn't see that part. But Carrie is the voice of our generation. So we're fucked now, guys. Now that she said that, I haven't watched the latest episode where that were the one character to stand up. But I heard it's so bad.
Starting point is 00:39:26 Oh, I heard that's bad. That's just a general, like, there's never been good, like, comedy. Like, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, like, or stand up when they're trying to, when they just, like, throw that in as an extra thing. They're like, and then, so we'll add this later, but then at this point in the script, they start doing the best stand-up you've ever heard. Yeah. It's always an add-on. That's not how it works. Is the character, the actor, an actual stand-up?
Starting point is 00:39:55 No. No. I think they are the best actor on the show, which isn't saying much. They were a doctor on Grey's Anatomy. Dr. Torres. Oh my god, Dr. Callie Torres. For a minute I was watching two episodes of Grey's Anatomy a night during
Starting point is 00:40:13 the quarantine. Oh really? This will be my number one screen to night night time. Alright, finally we do have a TikTok trend to check in with it is uh you know we we tend to get a little scatological every once in a while here on the daily zeitgeist what we haven't been talking to y'all for a couple weeks now so we we had it all stored up so we had we had to do it to them so there we do have to tell you about a TikTok trend about parents smearing shit on their
Starting point is 00:40:45 kids. Yeah. Oh, on their hands, right? Yeah. Yeah. Like or on their arm. Like this is a thing we've seen on the Internet before, like sort of in isolated moments. But now because TikTok's ability to affect culture is just so powerful, we are seeing this new reemergence of it, but called the hashtag poop challenge. And like, you know, if you've not seen a video like this, like a parent will usually be in the bathroom, pretend to be on the toilet and asking for help from someone outside, typically a kid being like, Hey, I need more like toilet paper. Can you help me with something? They come in and they smear some shit looking food like Nutella or pudding or peanut butter, like on the kid's hand or arm,
Starting point is 00:41:25 and then just be like, and now I'm recording you. Let's see if my violation of our trust will get the likes, the clicks. And you know, you see it all. You see some kids just scream and cry because they can't believe that their parent just smeared shit on them. Then you see other kids who are like, there's one kid who's like crying, but also playing with it more as like they're trying to figure out. They're like, no, but I'm kind of interested in what this may or may not be. And then you have some true OG kids who just look their parents in the eye and they're like, yo, this doesn't smell like shit. Nice try. We're like young.
Starting point is 00:41:58 And you're like, I think I saw one that was actually really sweet when a kid like kind of realized what it was and looked at his parent. I was like, it's OK. It's OK. And I'm just like, this is so much more fucked. Like now you're putting the child like to comfort you for shitting on them. I don't know. I'm just the whole the culture behind that. I can't get behind.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Yeah. That's what I think is interesting because I'm you know, I geting your kids i was a victim of this kind of shit no pun intended constantly like having uncles or cousins who always be like oh let's kind of fuck with them so i i know that like you know having fun and doing that kind of stuff is you know par for the course but like this this new era of now it's like but in my day we weren't uploading these videos where i was crying of because i was so afraid of the dark or the lights going out to like the internet uploading to the internet for people to feast their eyes upon so yeah i'm just it is interesting to watch how quickly like consciously or subconsciously parents are like
Starting point is 00:43:00 i don't know maybe your maybe your tears will get me some followers. Jack, are you going to do the poop challenge to your kids? I mean, have I done the poop challenge with my kids? Did I misunderstand it? And is that where their stomach bug came from? Are all questions that I'm not going to answer this time. You're like, oh, it was Nutella? Oh, damn. Okay, okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Got it. Makes a lot more sense. Now I know. Would you prank your kids, though? Definitely. Okay. Okay. Got it. Makes a lot more sense. Makes a lot more sense. Now I know. Would you prank your kids, though? Definitely not on social media. Just in the privacy of your own home, like a civilized adult. I tell them we're getting divorced. They got to pick a parent to leave with right now.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Yeah. Yeah. I don't tape it. Yeah. My wife is very much more prone to liking to, I't know mess wanting to mess with the bounds of like truth to see how they react and i'm just too tired to do that yeah as of right now were you pranked a lot as a kid either of you my uncles yeah not not my dad i wasn't pranked a lot because i think i was like i think i was like an annoyingly precocious kid
Starting point is 00:44:05 where whenever anyone would try to do something, I would be like, that's not true. And they would be like, how do you know? And I would be like, because I just do. I'm actually smarter than you.
Starting point is 00:44:18 Yeah. I think, I don't know. I was like one of those kids. I never thought the tooth fairy was real. Like, I don't know. I was kind of just kids I never thought the tooth fairy was real like I don't know I was kind of just like no way some bitch is flying into my window grabbing my teeth and putting money under my pillow for a dollar yeah I was like okay first of all these teeth are worth way more right yeah and second of all no but I mean I did believe in
Starting point is 00:44:40 Santa Claus and I also I guess until very recently right until actually this year when i was really little my mom used to my mom was not a crafty person like she was not like a pta mom or anything like that but she did do this thing which i guess was a prank where on saint patrick's day she would mess up our room, me and my sister's rooms, like, pull our clothes out of the drawer, undo our beds, and, like, then she would put little green footprints to, like, a little pot of
Starting point is 00:45:13 candy, like, a pot of gold, and she made us believe that leprechauns, like, came into our room and fucked it up. And that prank was cool for like a few years. And then I just realized it was her doing it. And then I was left to clean up my room.
Starting point is 00:45:32 Right. Was it with paint? What were the footprints made of? They were like paper. They were like little like, you know, cut out little footprints from paper. That's really cute. I mean, it's cute to do to your kids. Maybe you should do that.
Starting point is 00:45:43 But I didn't. I never, I wish she was, things you wish your parents were alive for to ask them why. Why did she pretend to be a leprechaun? I wonder if it's like a thing too, where on the most cynical level, parents can do that to cover up the fact that they flipped the room looking for drugs. They'd be like, I don't know, damn, leprechaun came through here.
Starting point is 00:46:04 But at least there's a pot of gold. And I'm glad to know you don't have drugs. You'd be like, I don't know, man. Damn, Leprechaun came through here. But at least there's a pot of gold and I'm glad to know you don't have drugs. Yeah. All right. Well, let's take another quick break and we'll come back and talk about car crashes and Wheel of Fortune. I'm Jess Casavetto, executive producer

And we're back. And, you know, this is this is a hard hitting shit where Google has released the most Googled chain restaurant. And what are we looking at, Miles? Hit us with the with the facts. So hit us with the scorecard, Harold Letterman.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Who is the most Googled chain restaurant is Starbucks. Wow. Followed by McDonald's, then Domino's, Chick-fil-A, Pizza Hut, and our blessed Taco Bell. Right at the end, at the death, just snatched it. And the writers at the takeout, i only bring this up because not because it's really that important but the over at the takeout they had some theories of like why starbucks like is so much more ahead in like the rankings like i think it was in 30 it was like the 39th most searched thing and then mcdonald's like the 55th or something that it's things like they have
Starting point is 00:51:20 more varied menus that are like and like in localities, they have different menus or that they have seasonal items like, you know, Christmas drinks and fall drinks and shit like that or cups and stuff. And they're also in dense urban centers. So people might be just saying, yo, let me Google where's a Starbucks. But my theory really, I think, is that the thing that pushed them over the edge or put them so far ahead is that it was all around, I think, that struggle for labor rights and how much of a top of mind thing, not that for the entire country, but in Buffalo, those stores that were unionizing, that took up a lot of the conversation air during that time. Everyone was talking about it. We played some of the cringy monologue from the former CEO. And I think there, I think that drew a lot of people in because as much as I'd like to think pumpkin spice lattes and commemorative cups drove the traffic search, I think their
Starting point is 00:52:14 place in the potential domino effect of like worker rights gave it a little bit more. There was more interest from the general public aside from just anyone because i'm not to say that every person who was like working at a like a quick service restaurant was like i got a little focus on starbucks starbucks starbucks but that news and around it i felt like just created more headlines and more attention around it just my i think that makes sense yeah because i also really like what you're on to with the different pieces of news or new things that they come up with. Starbucks always has new drinks. Domino's has like driverless delivery and all that's like Chick-fil-A. You got to know like which day is it closed? Pizza Hut is always like has a new box filled with shelves of food in it, you know, and taco bell always has new stuff i do want to know why anyone would ever google mcdonald's because it is always the same and you're not trying to find one because if you just drive like you'll run into one you know what i mean like you don't if you're on a road trip
Starting point is 00:53:16 there'll be a sign for it on the highway they're everywhere i do not know why you would google mcdonald's like that's my first Google every morning, Blake. Is it? Yeah, I'm just like, what are they up to? What's McDonald's got going on with that? Just making sure it's there. Yeah. Making sure it's there. It's the same thing.
Starting point is 00:53:30 How's that climb? You know what's wild, though? It got, so the things that people, it got more, people search McDonald's more than Netflix. Wow. Which seems like, or Bank of America. So this is one of my- That's questions slash theories is that like Starbucks and Domino's both have really good apps. Yes. Applications, not appetizers. I got it. And love the soupy duck bites. So I was so fucking confused when you first said that I almost threw up on my pants. So thank you for fixing that. That is something that happens to you when you're confused.
Starting point is 00:54:09 Yes. We have to give you a very gentle briefing before every episode or else it takes so much time. It's a mess in here. And I appreciate it. Yeah. But like, so I'm just trying to McDonald's makes more sense to me because nobody's like going into the McDonald's app and like ordering on the McDonald's app. Like Domino's is the one that I get. Yeah, I guess they had the news hook about driverless cars.
Starting point is 00:54:32 But for the most part, I can't imagine. Like Googling, unless you're just like, what's the phone number for Domino's? Because I don't use apps like where they I mean, they I don't know if they were also making headlines with, like, all the, you know, like, minimum wage talk. But was there anything that put McDonald's, like, whatever, it doesn't fucking matter. All that to say, people are focused on the quick service world. Yeah. Long, I mean, not long may the struggle last, but long may it continue until we get better treatment. Now, if Google really wanted to grab our attention, they would be breaking each of these searches down by like how many of the people were Googling Starbucks because they needed a place to shit.
Starting point is 00:55:15 Yeah. Like that's I have to think that's like 40 percent of the like, you know, like. Right. It's just Starbucks dick and coffee. you know? Right, right, right. There's one, it's just Starbucks dick and coffee.
Starting point is 00:55:24 It's like, wait, what? Like, we're honestly like, just as confused as you. Back when I worked at Cracked,
Starting point is 00:55:34 there was a search term, I'm drawing a blank on like, what it was. It was something with like, horse, I think horse dicks.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Good. That was one of like, the top search terms that landed people on the website. Like when you got down, it was always like in the top hundred and we could never figure out why. It was like horse cock. Miles Gray was a big one. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Yeah. Yep. That you had one miles. Yeah. I collect them. Yeah. I love your necklace, by the way oh thank you yeah your shelves are buckling yeah well i'm getting in i'm getting a delivery of a clydesdale later it's uh
Starting point is 00:56:16 yeah oh man now i have to picture what do clydesdales dicks have the like fluffy white fur, like the bottom of the hooves? Oh, that's interesting. That's very interesting, Blake. Yeah. You know, those amphibians that have,
Starting point is 00:56:34 it's not a salamander, but it has the floofy gills like up near its head. Is it that situation with the Clydesdale hog with the floofy fur at the top? Right. Or is it at the base where the pubis... Oh, yeah. What's it called? Like an axolotl or something? Yes. That's exactly what it is.
Starting point is 00:56:54 And you nailed the pronunciation. You nailed it. It's a very difficult word to read. Axol-foley? Yeah, the axol-foley? Axol-rose-a-quattle? What is that? is that all right briefly i want to talk about yellowstone because they just had their season four finale this is a if you're not familiar it's a kind of neo-western show starring kevin costner made by technically neo-western genre new western what the fuck
Starting point is 00:57:26 yeah i don't know what that means it's i it might be a term i just made up but i think it's i think it's like no country for all men blood simple you know taylor sheridan the creator of the show yellowstone has also made heller high water and Wind River. So it's like westerns that take place in a more modern setting. They say with the definition of subgenre that adopts its character setting and themes and translates them with contemporary
Starting point is 00:57:55 sensibilities. Got it. So I think also like Unforgiven and more like postmodern westerns would count as neo-westerns but like i think that i don't know i find it more you could say mandalorian is a neo-western too right there you go using producer becca just wrote a neo-western is a western with a shaved head i think i like give my bad jokes doc martin's with red laces
Starting point is 00:58:21 i don't refer. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Becca and Justin gave me that joke simultaneously. Yeah. But so I got I got on a big neo-Western kick over the break and like watch Blood Simple. No, like the movies that I just mentioned. So that's but so Taylor Sheridan is the guy who made Hell or High Water and Wind River.
Starting point is 00:58:46 And he created this show. It's about a family that owns the largest private ranch in Montana and have to defend against outside forces like bordering native reservations and a public park and land developers. So they nailed one villain of those three. The dreaded public park. Yeah. Now, I don't know what his point of view is on this. Maybe they're anti-heroes, but it does make sense that it would be salient now, seeing as private property.
Starting point is 00:59:26 make sense that it would be salient now seeing as like private property like you know the bundies out in the west i feel like there's very interesting things happening right in that world and i feel like private property seems to be kind of the original sin of the united states that we can't really recover from and so this is all to say i'm going to watch yellowstone or some of it and actually have a a well-informed take instead of this yeah wasn't there this finale like just setting records yeah so this it was something season four finale hit like had the highest ratings for a day of and like they premiered it on, I guess it's Peacock, even though it seems like it's on Paramount Network show,
Starting point is 01:00:12 it streams on Peacock and they have like 9 million people watch it on the day it came out, which is a new record, which is pretty wild when you realize that like every show in the top 10 of like most streamed shows is on Netflix. But I mean, it's, it's definitely one of those.
Starting point is 01:00:31 It's like the, it's again, one of those shows, like the biggest show that I don't know about at all. Yeah. And I just see constantly see pre-rolls for it. And I'm like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:00:40 I don't know. It's Kevin Costner. Cool. But yeah, the neo-Western man. I just do. So I did watch Wind River, which is the only of the,
Starting point is 01:00:49 one of those movies, those neo-Westerns I hadn't seen. And it's about like crimes done to native peoples on like native reservations. And it's protagonist is a fish and wildlife tracker played by Jeremy Renner. But it's cool because his ex-wife is Native American. Oh, cool, cool, cool.
Starting point is 01:01:12 That's fine. But not his love interest, mind you. His love interest is Elizabeth Olsen, who is a FBI agent who comes in to help solve the crime. But, yeah, the Native people aren't very useful or capable of dealing with their own shit in the movie so there's like some very serious white savior shit going on but i i do want to watch this and see like how they are handling a story that centers on a bundy-like clan trying to defend their private property rights against the public park system. Like I can't think of,
Starting point is 01:01:48 uh, I mean, it's gotta be good, you know, like, cause I'm, you don't do numbers like that and be a totally like nonsense show, you know? So not to say that like,
Starting point is 01:01:55 it's not true. No, no, no. But I mean like, you know, that they're like, even when I watch shows that do numbers,
Starting point is 01:02:01 I'm like, Oh, I see why people fuck. I've never seen like a show. Right. This is complete. This is like a fever dream. i don't understand this at all yeah right hey you guys haven't seen a single one of these right but a single episode of yellowstone not not one yet i i started i have a i have a rechargeable battery thing i got as a promo for it yeah it counts i
Starting point is 01:02:23 saw the hell out of some billboards when it first came out yeah that's about it man i i thought you said mystic river when you said wind river and when i was in high school i got like hired to write like hired uh it probably was free it was free to write like like dirty like dirty movie titles i guess for a morning show and i asked my best friend, Jeff, to help me. And he wrote like a hundred of them, but they were all so bad where it was like mystic river of semen was like one of the ones that he wrote.
Starting point is 01:02:54 And it's like, no, you got to like do wordplay. And it was like pirates of the Caribbean having sex with each other. It's like, you can't know. No, just put wordplay.
Starting point is 01:03:02 Wordplay. I'm kind of with Jeff on this one, man. I think you, I think you steered him wrong. I think I did, too. Mystic River of Seam is pretty good. So, Producer Becca, which show was good?
Starting point is 01:03:14 Again, I'm getting... Yellowstone. Yellowstone's good? Yeah. Okay. I watched it with my mom. Okay. While I was home.
Starting point is 01:03:23 While in Texas. From the South. Yeah. Yellowstone. She loved Texas. From the South. Yeah. And Yellowstone, she loved it. And they have like, I don't know if it's a spinoff, but it's the same creators who did Yellowstone, I think. But it's like based in like, I don't know, the Oregon Trail. Right.
Starting point is 01:03:39 18, it's like got some year title, right? It's a prequel. It's like these some year title. Yeah. It's a prequel. It's like these people's ancestors. But that has country stars Faith Hill and while I'm spacing, very famous Kim Agra. Star is a matter of opinion. Yeah. I love Kim Agra. All right.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Well, now I am feel less dread about the fact that I just promised to watch some of this. But yeah, Zeitgang, let us know. Thoughts on Yellowstone? Yeah.
