a lot to figure out when you're just starting your career. That's where we come in. Think of us as your work besties you can turn to for advice. And if we don't know the answer, we bring
in people who do, like negotiation expert Maury Tahiripour. If you start thinking about negotiations
as just a conversation, then I think it sort of eases us a little bit. Listen to Let's Talk

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.
What is something you think is overrated, Courtney?
Single-use plastic.
I know I'm a little late.
Earth Day is over, but it should be Earth Day every day.
Right.
So that's when you use a plastic thing and just throw it out your window because you're done with it?
Well, here's the deal.
Even if you recycle it, it's like it doesn't all get recycled and people throw stupid shit
in their recycling bins and like mess it all up.
So just throw it in the ocean.
No.
Okay.
Sorry.
No, don't throw it directly at a turtle.
Throw it directly at the turtle.
Is that what you're saying?
Kill the turtle for sure with the plastic bottle.
A hundred percent.
Cut the middleman out?
Yeah, no, I have just been reading stuff and bummed about global warming.
I know that this isn't fun, but this is real.
We do all parts of the zeitgeist, even the parts where we're destroying the earth and
all going to die in 12 years.
I just want to issue a challenge to the Zeit gang.
Okay.
That I did this recently and it was hard, but also I learned a lot of stuff.
I did a 30-day zero waste challenge, personal challenge for myself.
You can't poop for 30 days?
That sounds really hard.
Sorry.
Super backed up.
Okay.
No, I, yeah, i just tried not to i mean
zero waste that doesn't exist right right so i still generated waste but way less than usual
and like normally i wouldn't think twice about like using a plastic you know or buying like a
diet mountain dew or like drinking a sugar-free red you you know, whatever. Now you're speaking my language.
Or were you specifically putting it in terms of Mountain Dew because you were trying to
appeal to me?
Jack, I also have an issue.
Oh, that's right.
We've talked about this.
Okay, cool.
So yeah, I just think overrated.
Let's, we should cut that out.
So single-use plastic, we should, is, okay, got it, got it, got it, got it.
Just as a culture, don't you think we can what are some
like tips because when you said like oh i like mountain dew i was just thinking that then you
just get it from the soda fountain oh you guys like what yeah what are you doing so in my 30
days i developed a real trash monster routine where i would just go to my time this is bad
but i would go to the taco bell by me and i would you would live moss
i'm so embarrassed to admit this i would take two water bottles uh like you know reusable
right water bottles and i would ask for my crunch wrap supreme with beans instead of meat and i
would say don't give me a bag do not give me a bag or any napkins just put the beans
in my bare hand what would you do don't wrap up my tacos okay and then I would fill up the bottles
and they let you they would not only let me most of the time they didn't charge me they would not
charge me that is a trash monster. This is not shocking.
Taco Bell's consumers, they're like, look, we know our clientele.
Right, right.
That's amazing.
Wait, okay, this is crazy.
Listen, I didn't use all those bottles that I would have used on those beverages.
What was the Crunchwrap Supreme placed on?
Yeah.
It just comes in like a little envelope okay type deal which i can deal with
but then when they also throw it in the bag and they give you like 50 napkins right and then they
give you like the big plastic cup it's like that's too much so and then you have to eat the uh napkin
as well right totally doing your zero uh and then not poop it out because you can't for this last
section i just wanted to talk about uh what we're calling
we already live in black mirror update uh the we already live in black mirror update uh because
so i i've just been hearing a lot of people talk about um you know anecdotal stuff about people
uh having a thought or having a conversation that they phone then puts an ad up that is where
that conversation was headed, or they have a thought that they don't even say out loud,
and then a ad is put in front of them for the thing.
That's even creepier.
Yeah. Have you had that experience?
Yeah. And the ads are normally very shady. I don't appreciate it.
I've been getting a lot of ads for this one book that's like, stop getting played by men.
Fall in love.
And I was like, bitch, how y'all know I'm getting played?
Are they looking at my text messages?
Can they see my text?
And it's like, girl, he not working late, bitch.
He done said that for three weeks in a row buy this book like but i haven't said anything about men maybe because i downloaded
some dating apps they were like right because something happened but i never said anything
and that ad kept popping up over and over yeah so there was this article in nbc that was talking about it interviewed this guy who his claim to fame
is that he invented
the eternal scroll
like you know how you used to paginate
articles he invented the just
constantly scrolling thing and then
he realized that by doing
that he was basically
wasting the equivalent
of like 200,000 human
lifetimes every day like on the planet because
of like this addictive scrolling thing that he had done but he was pointing out that we
worry about privacy uh and like you know people are going to find out our credit card information
they're going to find out our uh social security and you don't have to worry about that stuff. So just share it with us.
No.
I agree with this man.
Post your information online.
But he was saying the thing that we need to be worried about is data and like the stuff
that we voluntarily give up.
They're just creating this basically digital version of you that is getting more and more
detailed and more and more like psychologically accurate,
basically with everything that you do online.
And it's just the,
as recently as 10 years ago,
the way people found out what we were watching was by asking them to like
fill out a form,
trying to like remember what you watched and when you watched it.
Like the Nielsen.
Yeah, the Nielsen thing.
And now we have smart TVs and they can see like everything.
They can see the movie that you hovered over for like a split second.
So they know that like you were considering that before you moved on to
watching whatever the fuck you watch.
Hey, I don't know you, man.
watching whatever the fuck you watch uh hey i don't know you man uh but uh and then our phones are gps enabled tracking devices that can you know listen to what we say uh there's alexa is now
you know constantly listening and there's a team of that girl in my house there's a team of like
people in and there's a team of engineers in romania who are just like
listening to alexa recordings to try and learn about like what people are searching for and like
i i don't know specifically how they're choosing who to listen to but they've specifically said
that they've heard like people arguing they've heard like a child crying for help and they're
like what do we do when we
hear just and they've also they said they heard a sexual assault and brought it to amazon and
amazon was like amazon's policy is to not interfere in such situations i don't know about that so
amazon y'all y'all gonna take our information so that you can make money but you're not gonna help
us we can attack yeah and they're just send us shit for
free that doesn't seem like a good deal yeah and they're getting so good at like figuring out what
our motivations are and what our thoughts are and what our interests are that we're like a lot of
people are pointing out that you're essentially giving up your autonomy to corporations because they're
able to like predict like your behavior and like your interests and they basically know more about
you than you know about yourself yeah and that's like a control thing too um when i was in college
and i was taking marketing classes um the psychology behind advertisement like we were
told like if you don't want to be controlled by consumption,
never sign up for email lists.
Whenever you buy anything in a store, never sign up
because you always want to purchase things on your own volition
and because you want something, not because it was presented to you.
And we used to have mechanisms to be able to avoid unnecessary advertisement
that kind of pollutes your brain.
But now if you get on any free app, it's not free. You get on Instagram, you're seeing ads, you get on Facebook, you're
seeing ads, you get on the internet, you click on an article, you're seeing ads. And so now you're
being sold to and even more specifically to you all the time. And that does influence your brain
and influences your purchasing decisions. Do you think if like you had to pay for Gmail or whatever,
would you rather pay than have them them have access to all your emails?
Yeah, that's another huge data input is they read all your emails.
They have access to everything you're emailing, they being Google.
And they trade and share and sell information back and forth so that they're all sharing this massive composite of you that's like a little simulation.
I don't know. I feel like I, in theory, would rather pay for Gmail than have them have access to everything I'm thinking and emailing about.
have access to everything I'm thinking and emailing about. At the same time, like I never pay for apps that are, that cost more than like a dollar 99. And even then not really. Um, so it is,
I mean, in that respect though, like it does disadvantage people who, you know, don't have
as much money because it's like, well, these are the tools that are just par for the course.
It's like how you do things now in the modern world.
You have to have email.
And if you don't want to pay for it,
you have to have Gmail or Yahoo or Hotmail if you're really old.
In my email that I'm afraid of people seeing.
It's just so much information.
Remember when that Sony hack happened?
Yes.
And that woman, the president of Sony was like using dye on her pubic hair.
And like that was one of the things that came out.
I did not know that actually.
Well, hot piece of information.
You know, you need to email that to people.
Right.
So what number Clairol should I give for my pubes?
Right.
CC.
I'm just saying there's probably stuff in your email that like you don't even, you don't think it's embarrassing until somebody like puts it on a website and you're like, oh shit, that is crazy embarrassing.
I don't think I've ever sent an email without the thought of like would i send
this if everybody had access yeah i don't think about it i think oh really oh i think of the email
yeah i i also send emails to myself with like crazy notes and thoughts that i have so i send
texts to myself i don't do emails though maybe you should switch it up yeah yeah that's crazy
yeah i thought they're just as bad though yeah there's interesting. Maybe you should switch it up. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good idea. Yeah. I thought about it. Texts are just as bad though.
I'm sure they are.
Yeah.
There's nothing to say that they're not.
Text like,
no,
listen,
text messages,
oh,
I'm sending everything.
Right.
Exactly.
Yeah.
They can definitely get access to those chats.
I've never even taken like nudes
because I was like always concerned
about things popping up.
Yeah.
I don't know if it's generational or what,
but I've never taken a dick pic.
No.
People are like, send me a pic.
I'll send them a pic from my Instagram
or I'll draw a picture of my boobs
and send it to them.
Draw a picture?
That's cute.
I've been in the moment before
and sent some stuff that I'm like,
oh God, I wish no one ever had that picture.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Also...
They probably got rid of it don't worry
about it oh 100 guys are always good about that i got i so i checked my spam folder recently i had
a black mare moment um and there was like a ransom for some porn that i i was telling you guys about
this before we started but someone had emailed me
and they were like we know your password we saw you you were watching porn on this site
on this date or whatever and we're gonna send it to the five most frequently emailed people
in your contact list if you don't pay fourteen hundred dollars specific and here's the thing
they had my password an old password of mine so i legitimately
for a second was like this is real was it a porn site you have been to uh i don't think they listed
the oh they didn't say the name of it yeah i think they just said like a porn site i think
they would have listed it if they probably would have listed it but they had my password that was
the creepy part an old password right that's the only
reason if it would have been a current password i would have been like immediately changing my
password yeah like maybe paying them the 1400 like out on the street purse snatching to get the 1400
yeah because if they got a video from the computer that's not a good angle those aren't good angles
oh god um but they yeah they were i guess uh one of the quotes
is i get that it's creepy to imagine that they listen to your conversations like through your
smartphones or your smart speakers but isn't it more creepy that they can predict what you're
talking about without listening in your basic it's this little model of you you're super predictable
to these platforms it's about persuasion and prediction not privacy yeah like just thinking about like they probably know you're hungry 10 seconds before your stomach
tells your brain you're hungry and you know it's like they is not a is not a person it's like an
algorithmic learning thing so i i used to take solace in that but now i'm like that it doesn't matter
they're not like weaponizing this information against you they're just taking over autonomy
they're they're taking away your free will essentially uh and which is way more scary
yeah they're so another terrifying hypothetical is health, which if you've ever had like a condition that makes them not want to cover you or less likely to give you life insurance or whatever.
They're like, why were you drinking all that Mountain Dew, Jack?
Right, exactly.
Maybe you brought this on yourself.
Why were you on Herp Alert?
Exactly.
They have your browser history.
Right.
exactly they have your browser history right so a recent joint venture announced by apple and the insurance giant etna will reward customers who agree to wear an apple watch uh with nudges toward
good health practices and the company's promise to safeguard individual privacy but at the same
time they're going to know everything right it just gives you every that gives you
access to if that heart rate is trash if they don't see you going to the gym you know you can
get dropped from your health insurance that's crazy i guess if i got an apple watch for that
i had to put it on a baby like a fresh healthy baby uh the but yeah i mean think about like the the heart rate could tell them like who you have a
crush on or like who like what something that makes you nervous when people bring it up and
like they'll be like your deepest darkest secret is about this subject you know are you doing
cocaine regularly right yeah there's also that um yeah that that was from a black mirror episode in particular but
um yeah and then there's so there like i was mentioning there's this amazon office that
doesn't have an amazon sign on the outside it's in this crumple crumbling part of a town in
bucharest uh top three floors of this Romanian building called global worth.
And these Romanian engineers review and listen in on people's most personal
moments,
like a woman singing badly off key in the shower,
screaming for help.
And yeah,
they,
they basically email each other clips of us being idiots and just to like relieve stress uh so yeah
i don't know we're fucked we are fucked somebody people need to legislate this stuff then we don't
have to worry about it right i feel like they're better at that in the european union than we are
because they're not driven as hard by capitalism as we are we'll
sell anything i mean come on look at the nra right the nra has scholarships yeah in fact that parkland
shooter had one yeah is that true yeah he was a marksman like he learned he was learning how to
shoot oh shit yeah so it's like but they like covered it up and tried to act like it wasn't the case but it's like it's not right we're selling our lives we're all just hoping that we're not next
ah america that is the thing with your free gmail is like you are selling your life a little bit
right yeah if you're getting something for free you're the product that's the thing we always say
here on the daily Zeitgeist.
Anyways, we could talk about bullshit like that,
but we have to talk.
We have to move on to what is, I think,
the story of the day, maybe the millennium,
maybe our generation.
We're talking, of course, about Moby's coming memoir
in which he brags about having rubbed his dick
on Donald Trump.
Yikes.
Yeah.
In the aftermath of September 11th, for some reason.
Yeah.
This was published in the Daily Beast,
like this excerpt from his, as you say, his memoir,
called Then It Fell Apart.
I guess it's about his career.
Oh, boy.
Oh, wow.
Oh, Miles. Oh, Miles. Keeping from Moby in here? Come on. I don't know. I mean, look, I think he's about his career Oh wow Oh Miles
Come on
I think he's chill I mean I've never been to his vegan restaurant
Yeah to me he's just a restaurateur
Yeah he's exactly a vegan visionary
That's right
But you know again look this is about him
Rubbing his dick on the president
So he starts off this excerpt with like this
I guess context
So this is how it starts off this excerpt with like this, I guess, context. So this is how it
starts off. He goes, after September 11th, 2001, the only way in which I knew how to process my
grief was to stay drunk, do as many drugs as possible and throw myself into whatever
degeneracy flowed out of New York's perpetually degenerate spigot. Sometimes the degeneracy
was gritty and old school, cheap drugs and dive bars and sex and tetanusy bathrooms.
Yikes.
Okay.
Tetanusy bathrooms.
Yeah, he created a new adjective.
Yeah, he did.
And sometimes the degeneracy was gilded.
Helicopters to Staten Island and parties with billionaires.
And then he goes on to sort of set this up and then sort of say, like,
at the time I was super drunk and I'm still not, quote,
I'm still not 100% sure it actually happened but even though
this happened almost 20 years ago I'm still perpetually stunned by the fact that Americans
elected as president a dim-witted con man whose only claim to fame is that he once hosted a
mediocre reality tv show so then we get into the meat of this excerpt uh first of all is he trying
to establish himself as like the cool eligible bachelor bad boy of 9-11? Sort of.
I guess.
I don't know.
He was like, yeah, dude, 9-11 was crazy, man.
9-11 was crazy times, man.
Drug-filled sex romp.
Man, I took it harder than anyone else, man.
He's talking about it like it's the summer of 69
or the summer of love.
It's just a weird context for a story.
Anyway, so we go into it.
He's talking to this woman clarice uh it says hey
i said once we were inside the party this is where i met david bowie clarice's eyes widened
you met david bowie actually now he's my neighbor we wave at each other from our balconies what
come over later and i'll show you i told her she smiled inscrutably uh then we go on some dude
named dale comes a dale i said once we had ordered drinks, tell Carissa about knob touch.
First off, you're beautiful, he told her.
Oh, no.
This is all so bad so far.
Why did he add that detail?
He didn't need any of these details.
That's Dale.
That's Dale, dude.
I don't know.
And then she goes, I think I'm worried that if you continue this story, I might become
a Trump supporter.
Well, hold on to your butts.
Okay.
She's a Miss USA runner up, I said, proud of my new friend.
Okay, Dale continued.
Knob touch is when you take your penis out of your pants at a party
and brush it up against someone.
Ew, Clarice said, grimacing, and that's sexy?
No, no, he said, seriously, it's not sexual.
It's just stupid and funny and sexual assault.
You only knob touch their clothes,
and the person you knob touch can't know they've been knob touched.
Clarice turned to me.
Have you done this?
No, I admit it.
Okay, then they go on.
So at this point, you know, he's talking about, like, he's been drinking.
He's just all over the place.
9-11 happened.
So he's not, doesn't know what to do.
He's legitimately like that Tobias Fugate moment in Arrested Development where he's like,
I'm not going to blame it all on 9-11 but it certainly didn't help so they were at some party right and they see
donald trump right so then uh they go on moby go knob touch donald trump he said really i asked
should i donald trump was a mid-level real estate developer and tabloid newspaper staple whose
career had recently been resuscitated by a reality tv show yeah dale said yeah clarice said mischievously shit i said realizing i now
had to knob touch donald trump oh my god i drank a shot of vodka to brace myself pulled my flaccid
penis out of my pants and casually walked past trump trying to brush the edge of his jacket with
my penis luckily he didn't seem to notice or even twitch
how and that's so then it goes on uh right after what do you mean there's more well because there's
a nice as we say in comedy there's a nice button uh on this little bit here um so it didn't even
twitch i walked back to my friends and ordered another drink did you do it clarice asked i think
so i think i knob touched Donald Trump.
After a few more drinks, I asked Clarice,
do you want to come to my house and see David Bowie's balcony?
That's a pretty good pickup line.
Okay.
Oh, my God.
So, like, we got in a cab to head down Broadway.
Then it goes on.
And then, like, he gets that girl or something.
Like, this is the story of how he impressed a woman
into sleeping with him by knob-touching Donald Trump.
That certainly impressed a Miss USA runner-up
by doing it.
So as anybody who's come to our live show would know,
Donald Trump first resuscitated his career
with a reality show in 2004.
Yes.
So Moby is still-
Timeline doesn't add up.
Still drunk and doing drugs
and pulling his flaccid penis out.
Talk about putting a button
on something.
Hey, please.
I'm saying he has a little dick.
But he's-
So three years later,
he's still like,
ah,
9-11.
The Twin Towers.
Wow, what happened to him?
Did he lose his whole family
in 9-11?
No, no. I mean, I get it for being a New Yorker and that happening. For sure. It's his city. 9-11 the twin towers wow what happened to him did he lose his whole family in 9-11 no I don't know
I mean I get it
for being a New Yorker
and that happening
for sure
it's his city
yeah yeah yeah
but like
that's a lot
yeah I don't know
the whole thing of like
I don't know if you need
to connect that to you
trying to justify
you pulling your dick out
and rubbing the
it's just like bro-y
like frat boy shit
yeah
it comes off very non-Moby
for what my idea of Moby is.
Right.
This vegan restaurateur.
Right.
Yikes.
Very non-Moby, dude.
Very non-Moby.
That's what we always say to each other.
That's more, yeah.
When people do something not chill.
All right, we're going to take a quick break, and we'll be right back.
Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist
who on October 16, 2017, was murdered.
There are crooks everywhere you look now.
The situation is desperate.
My name is Manuel Delia.
I am one of the hosts of Crooks Everywhere,
a podcast that unhurts the plot to murder a one-woman Wikileaks.
Daphne exposed the culture of crime and corruption that were turning her beloved country into a mafia state.
And she paid the ultimate price.

When you're just starting out in your career,
you have a lot of questions.
Like, how do I speak up when I'm feeling overwhelmed?
Or, can I negotiate a higher salary if this is my first real job?
Girl, yes.
Each week, we answer your unfiltered work questions.
Think of us as your work besties
you can turn to for advice.
And if we don't know the answer,
we bring in experts who do,
like resume specialist Morgan Saner. The only difference between the person who doesn't get
the job and the person who gets the job is usually who applies. Yeah, I think a lot about that quote,
what is it, like you miss 100% of the shots you never take? Yeah, rejection is scary, but it's
better than you rejecting yourself. Together, we'll share what it really takes to thrive in I'm Carrie Champion, and this is season four of Naked Sports, where we live at the intersection of sports and culture.
Up first, I explore the making of a rivalry, Kaitlyn Clark versus Angel Reese.
I know I'll go down in history.
People are talking about women's basketball just because of one single game.
Every great player needs a foil.
I ain't really near them.
Why is that?
I just come here to play basketball every single day, and that's what I focus on.
From college to the pros, Clark and Reese have changed the way we consume women's sports.
Angel Reese is a joy to watch.
She is unapologetically black.
I love her.
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.

And we're back.
Woodstock 50.
Just moving on because there's no way to transition between
those two. The Wine Mom Festival. Yeah, there you go. It's something we talked about when it
was announced because it has a pretty dope lineup. The primary investor has said it has been canceled.
Who's the primary investor? A company by the name of Dentsu Aegis Network.
Oh, Dentsu, yeah. Yeah, Dentsu Aegis Network. Oh, Dentsu, yeah.
Yeah, Dentsu Aegis Network.
Right, right, right.
They're owned by Dentsu,
which is like the fucking advertising PR,
like master conglomerate in Japan.
Right.
Like you cannot escape Dentsu.
They basically got canceled by an algorithm.
Right.
That doesn't even sound like it's remotely connected
to human beings.
Right.
That boardroom is literally just robots.
Dentsu Aegis. Yeah. we have determined unviable investment i was canceled by a final fantasy
character right actually you cut me off halfway through saying the name of the thing
debts who ages networks amplify live oh my gosh so it's just like five different things that have
been right a subsidiary of amplify live was won in a chocobo race.
From my Final Fantasy fans out there.
I don't know.
It just sounded funny.
Yeah.
He's just like, you're a chocobo.
So it's kind of weird because the reason that's being given is that in order for them to break even,
at least 150,000 people would have to
be able to stay there for the weekend. And Woodstock has a population of 2,000 and their
campground had enough space for 75,000. So they were halfway there. And that's usually where a
corporation is going to be like, fuck it, we'll build tree houses or something terrible that is going to kill people.
Yeah, or FEMA tents.
But I do wonder if all the Fyre Festival shit has pierced the zeitgeist enough that these robot algorithms are like, uh-oh, this is a bad, we better pull the plug before anything bad happens.
Right. Cause like, that's a problem.
Like having 75,000 people on the campground,
like,
yeah,
just bring Andy King in.
I mean,
he's going to figure that shit out.
I mean,
look,
I just feel like off the top,
just from the pure mathematical standpoint,
it's just logistically impossible.
You'd be like,
yeah,
that's not going to work.
Right.
Are they just unable to just sell the exact amount of tickets is this am i stupid or well i think they have to sell 150 to cover
the talent all the all the fees they're probably paying out and all the other expenses so it has
to be 150 000 just to break even on everything that they're seeing as being the cost of the
festival wow they've only had 50 years of practice right yeah so and i mean they have had 50 years
of practice of fucking this up because basically
every woodstock festival,
including the first one was a disaster.
Like they,
uh,
almost put the first company that organized it into bankruptcy.
Uh,
it was organized by like an advertising agency.
It wasn't like this just random,
uh,
you know,
free love.
It was,
it was a advertising organization being like yeah we
can really make money off these dumb hippies uh but jimmy hendrix put him on the last day i never
heard of that guy and the the way they solved the fact that the town doesn't accommodate enough
people is well everybody's on drugs the whole time nobody will sleep or they will sleep in the mud
and think it's like cool like people people fucking died like at the first woodstock
they're like one person was like passed out in the mud and got run over by a car because they
were like looked they blended in with the mud you know what this is it's the perfect example of how
a shift in demo happened for boomers right they went from like let's roll in the mud and have sex
to like we all need to glamp and we're not going to fit in the state. Right. But I think glamping is like all generations, right?
We just started right off with glamping because we realized rolling around in the mud and
taking bad acid was not actually that fun.
Wasn't that fun?
Although there were some people.
Have you seen the what is it?
Soul Sacrifice performance of Santana in that one?
So at one point, like in front of the stage, there's like a plywood fence in front of the stage. There's one dude who's so fucked up. He's just shaking a fucking can that
maybe is like a homemade Morocco and just banging it against the wood thing. Just like vibing so
hard. And I remember in college watching that and go, yo, that's the fucking wave.
That's amazing.
So in a way I could be one of those face down dirt scumbags with an empty can thinking I'm
playing along with Santana.
I mean, I'm not saying Woodstock would not have been fun.
I am saying all the other Woodstocks besides 1969 would have probably sucked.
Woodstock 94, it was mud and rain and Green Day fought security guards.
That's what it's most noted for.
And 99 was like a—
Hell on earth.
Hell on earth, fires earth fires violence sexual assault uh there is still a
chance that this is going to uh go off the rails in some spectacular fashion because the company
that that was partnering with it and like kind of the organizers of it uh have already paid the
likes of jay-z chance the rapper the killers miley Cyrus, and all these people, they've already received
fees of $1 million to $3 million, according to Variety.
So the company that is organizing it is like, no, no, no, I'm not canceled.
What do you mean canceled?
It's not canceled.
So they are going to try to put this thing on one way or another.
I know some Saudi princes are about to have the concert of their lives.
That's right.
Hey, MBS, man, you a big fan of the Black Album?
Oh, man, I love that fucking album, man.
That is how you saw it.
It's just him alone in a big mud field
and then all these bands just playing on stage.
In a throne, one giant throne,
and him just looking so distant.
He's on his phone.
It's made of just Yemeni bones.
Right.
Oh, my God, for sure. No press coverage bones. Right. Oh, my God. For sure.
No press coverage either.
Right.
Yes, exactly.
Strictly for him.
Complete helicopter blackout.
Let's talk about Zinu's measles yacht.
Yeah.
As we have dubbed.
They were great at Coachella.
Yes.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
They were great.
So that is the name of-
They're right after a major laser aiming.
A cruise ship called the Freewinds that is owned by Scientology.
It's currently docked in St. Lucia with its passengers and crew being quarantined.
Yeah.
Quarantined because one of the crew was diagnosed with measles.
Oh.
So let's talk about who the crew is on this.
Right.
Because crew kind of suggests a paying job.
Yeah, you're like, oh, wow, probably got like seasoned people who work yacht season.
Nope.
Yeah, they probably have good benefits.
Yeah.
So these are people who signed a billion-year contract to be part of the Sea Org, oftentimes when they're younger than 18, and they work 365 days a
year for little or no pay doing things like shining Tom Cruise's motorcycle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And cleaning this ship.
Yeah.
But guess what, man?
They're becoming more clear every day.
Yeah.
And while you toil in this weird Earth dimension, I'm hanging out with dreadlocked
aliens from Battlefield Earth. Yeah, so I mean, yeah, the Sea Org is running that ship. And when
you kind of look at the culture around Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard's distaste for acknowledged
science, the church doesn't have a stance on vaccines. So, I think we know where this is going.
A lot of people in Scientology happen to also
be anti-vaxxers.
It doesn't surprise me
that their little ship of
fools turns into a possible
contagion. Maybe these two
problems take care of themselves.
Yeah, we'll see. I mean, apparently
there were people speculating that Scientology
was really trying to cover this up because they were just in Curacao. I mean, apparently, like, there were people speculating that Scientology was really trying to cover this up.
Because they were just in Curacao, I think, before.
And in that port, they had found out that the crew member had measles.
But they're usually so transparent and cool about everything.
Yeah, so.
How do you get on this yacht?
Like, is it like a vacation yacht?
It's like for the high, high, higher ups.
David Miscavige, Tom Cruise.
Like the level eights?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Like OT3s.
Yeah, that was what it was.
I was trying to remember how it worked.
OT3s even.
So no SPs allowed?
Oh, no.
Yeah.
Definitely no squirrels either.
SPs, no need to apply.
No squirrels, no SPs, no nothing.
I'm surprised Tom Cruise even needs a yacht because can't he just like walk above the water?
Like doesn't, isn't that how OT3?
He's not going to be caught on that broke boy yacht with them.
Yeah, that's true.
I think he's, because he's even higher than the highest.
You know what I mean?
So do your thing, Tom.
So guys, in these United States of America, somebody did did a took a look at how much you have to make
like salary wise to be a home owner and it's pretty wild yeah i mean look home uh home prices
are rising yep and interest rates or mortgage rates are also hitting seven year highs right so
it's making it's very hard to buy a home right now,
especially when you're a younger person
because we are in a fuck,
we don't know what the fuck was going on.
And many people across the country are underpaid.
And so home ownership is becoming a thing
that's slowly becoming more and more out of reach.
But yeah, at Visual Capitalist,
they just made a,
like sort of a chart
of like the major metropolitan areas in the country
to show what kind of salary you would need to even buy a home.
And it's depressing.
So let's just go from the top.
Number one, San Jose.
Median home price, $1.2 million.
Your monthly payment for your mortgage payment, $5,900.
So you would need a salary of slightly over a quarter of a million dollars
to be a homeowner in San Jose.
San Francisco.
Yes, that's median.
I mean, that's how much money I make, so that's fine.
Yeah, you're doing great.
San Francisco, you need to make about $198,000.
San Diego, $131,000.
LA, $123,000.
Then it's like, so once you get out of California, then it drops.
106, Boston.
105, New York City, et cetera, et cetera.
But the thing that, like, the cheapest metro areas, number one, Pittsburgh.
Salary needed, $37,000.
With a monthly payment, $878.
I'm buying my ticket today.
I'll see y'all there
Pittsburgh's I gang
yo let's do it baby
cause I wanna go to
Primanti Brothers
and get a sandwich
and I'll just eat that
every day
and I will live in Pittsburgh
fuck it
I'm black and yellow
literally black and Japanese
so let's do this
and then what
Cleveland
Oklahoma City
Memphis
Indianapolis
Louisville
those are both great towns
man Pittsburgh and Cleveland
great towns great food. Pittsburgh and Cleveland.
Great towns, great food.
Great food. What's that pork sandwich in Cleveland?
I don't know.
Man, I know there's one in that market there.
See, I watch so much traveling around the U.S. things.
I know cities by the shit I would eat there.
I'm like, oh, Cincinnati?
Diver, driver.
What is it?
Diners, drivers, and dives?
Oh, I've seen it.
Oh, Skyline Chili?
Gold Star Chili?
Yeah, yeah.
St. Louis?
Lion's Choice?
Where should I buy a house? What's Vegas like? I feel like I could, I've seen a- Oh, Skyline Chili? Gold Star Chili? Yeah, yeah, I was going to- St. Louis? Lion's Choice? Where should I buy a house?
What's Vegas like?
I feel like I could fuck with that life.
Oh, Vegas?
61,000.
That's cheap, right?
I mean, compared to here.
That's not what that house costs.
No, but that's what you're-
Okay, that sounds good.
I could handle that.
Austin is 79,000.
Not bad.
New Orleans, 49,000.
Miami is 79.
One question I used to have is like who's living on in all the homes
if people are paying this much and we found out in a we covered in a past episode about how a lot
of like hedge funds and banks are buying up the houses and just like renting them out right because
uh or you know like even uh chinese companies are buying up a lot of the real estate
because, you know, they were,
when the economy shit the bed,
like the only people who got hooked up
were giant banks and hedge funds and corporations.
So all the-
Yeah, they entered a deflated market.
I'm like, let's scoop up all these homes.
And you know what else?
Airbnb is ruining the housing market as well.
Because people are keeping their apartments
and illegally subletting them on Airbnb
and therefore creating a housing crisis.
And there's less apartments open,
so then they raise the rent more
because nobody's moving in and out
and they want those damn deposits!
There you go.
I'm over all that.
You're telling me, sister, but luckily you got that quarter of a million dollar income that's right so where the fuck you want i can
airbnb anywhere and then real quick we want to give a shout out to the teachers of the carolinas
north and south north and south cacophonic uh who are on strike yeah Yeah. And their demands are just outrageous.
I don't.
Their demands are like, wait, you guys don't already have that?
Yeah.
Look, shout out to Joey on Instagram, why I'm so great,
because he was like, yo, can you cover this?
Because, yeah, normally we talk about all the teacher strikes,
and I do want to mention this again, because, God,
it's the same shit every time, right?
It's not – for the people who don't want to pay them, they want to act like, oh, we're giving them the opportunity to have input on the bill when their demands are very clear and there's nothing they're asking for that is too much.
Especially when you consider they're taking care of our fucking children and, in most cases, making sure they aren't totally dumb as fuck.
Right.
In most cases.
Mm-hmm.
But in – because, first of all, South Carolina, they hate unions.
Okay?
Right.
So the teachers can't really strike.
But the teachers are asking for a 10% raise.
Okay, great.
So they're closer to the national average.
Right now, they're not.
They're ranked 38th in teacher pay.
Which, like, they couldn't even buy a house.
Exactly.
Does that go back to the Civil War, them hating unions?
I don't know.
All right.
Wow.
Dead joke.
All right.
What else?
I just now got that.
Yeah.
Can I get a bomb just for how long it took me to get it?
That's what I'm saying.
I was like, oh, union.
Oh!
No!
Yes.
Then they're also banning...
They also want to ban retaliation against teachers
for making public policy comments
because they feel that there's been a lot of things
where lawmakers were retaliating
when teachers would speak out publicly.
They want more mental health counselors.
They feel like there's just not enough support
for children there.
Whoa, what do you think this is, Club Med?
What do you think this is, socialism?
Right.
And then in North Carolina, it's more of the same.
You know, they want more librarians, psychologists, like support staff to make their jobs easier.
$15 minimum wage for all school employees.
You know, five, like just the basics.
Sounds great to me, yeah.
It's not like they're saying.
Schools with librarians?
Yeah, bro.
I mean, who's ever?
And then also that every teacher
who has been teaching for over five years
gets a brand new Bugatti.
Right.
Yeah, that's like honestly...
Okay, maybe that was a little bit of a stretch.
But I mean, this is the shit that like...
I grew up going to public schools
and we had a librarian.
That was pretty standard.
I don't think I knew of any school
that didn't have a librarian. My librarian was also the lunch lady and i'm just kidding
they would double dip a little bit my theater teacher was my biology teacher too yeah like
they would double but i get that because they probably don't they're like well look bill you're
only teaching two classes on right right can you can you fill in but the you know conservative
movement has basically strip mined all the you know conservative movement has basically
strip mined all public you know institutions yeah and they want to privatize everything so they can
just uh bleed the corpse dry you know we go over this all the time man so this is where we're at
baby can we each shout out our favorite teacher of all time yeah oh yeah mine was mrs bridgewater
my fourth grade teacher mine i went to public school all the way through to shout out to the
public school kids huh mine was probably miss m Miss McDonald, my seventh grade writing teacher.
My biggest crush was Mrs. Schultz in sixth grade.
I didn't ask that.
But I also love her too because she used to say the most cutting shit to us.
Like not in a bad way.
Like, you know, in your sixth grade, you'll be like,
Mrs. Schultz, it's not fair. And and she would always be like let me tell you guys something right life is not
she's got a point and like she hammered that into the point by like halfway through the year like
when people started to say we're like yo life isn't fair right keep it moving right so that
was a good lesson yeah a teacher that had a really good impact on me though mr woolery my history
teacher probably the reason why i got into history or even acknowledging history as a worthwhile
topic to understand the present.
Yeah.
Man, I had a lot of good teachers.
Yeah.
And that's why I think when you're someone who actually has experienced teachers that
have put their time and energy into you and your development, it just makes it very upsetting
that I don't understand.
I mean, i do understand because
the conservatives are all about not giving anything any more than is already out there
but jeez um crow guys we gotta fucking the teachers the teachers are the fucking they
are helping us what would we do without them you know the people who choose this career path
they should be more compensated for what they're doing you know what i mean because we're all in here doing improv and shit you know what i mean like these teachers
actually did something right to serve the community serve the world yeah man so yeah pay up
motherfuckers so yeah support your teachers man if you if you're in a position to pay a teacher
more or something fucking do it and hook it up with the holiday gifts. If you're a parent, hook it up.
Give them that good, good.
Think above the Starbucks card.
Get those teachers some face shields.
Get massages.
Oh, wow.
Natch Butte coming in.
Okay, what else?
Satin pillowcases.
That would be an excellent gift, honestly,
of a pack of five,
because we should be changing our pillowcases once a week. Oh, wow.
I feel like we probably don't do that as often.
And people don't realize a lot of your skin shit can come from dirty-ass pillowcases too, man.
Of course, yes.
I'm out here.
How is that in terms of temperature?
I meant to ask that earlier.
Oh, I don't know.
I think that's the whole point.
So, you know, we're what, 98.6 degrees?
Yeah.
So if you sleep-
Nicolashay.
Yes.
So if you sleep up against your head, your hair, you're putting like a 98.6 degree flat iron up against your hair all night.
Sous vide hair.
So it helps with regulate temperature.
Got it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Because I like a cold pillow.
That's me personally.
I saw some shit.
There's like a new bed that has like ventilation built into it,
like a fucking mattress.
But I was like, that's what I need.
Because I get so
fucking hot in bed i have a weighted ask her majesty yeah oh i have a weighted blanket too
yeah great shout out to gravity blankets.com use code tdz for 15 off yours excellent good to know
and if you want to crush your chest like giles cory like i say in the ad put that fucking shit
on and you will be like crucible mode yeah and if you smoke weed you definitely want it just be sure to set your alarm because you can sleep for like two days under a way to
i couldn't believe how i was able to get back to sleep like i wasn't able to sleep and i just went
out to the couch and i'll put the thing on and knocked me out yeah they're pretty because it
fell on my head and i had a concussion could use it as a weapon oh Oh, hell yeah. Yeah. Really cumbersome weapon.
I would be interested to see how Jackie Chang used that in a fight.
25-pound blanket.
Yeah.
Oh, I would love that.
All right.
We're going to take a quick break.
We'll be right back.

And we're back real quick.
I wanted to tell everybody to go read this new york magazine cover story uh and you
can find it online it's about this guy uh his name is larry ray and this is just like one of those
stories that like it starts weird and then just gets weirder and weirder so it starts out with
this guy larry ray getting released from prison and within days moving into the campus
housing uh that his daughter and seven other women and like one guy live in on sarah lawrence's
campus okay so like really weird that a dad would move in with his daughter while she's in college
like on the car so let's play this out Guys, I want to have a house meeting.
What's up?
My dad who just got out of prison is our new roommate.
Yes, exactly.
We live on campus.
Venmo him for at the water bill, okay?
But she had always talked about like how their dad was this like huge hero who like always, who got like a raw deal because their mom uh like convinced people that he
was like abusive but like he wasn't and he was trying to actually save them from their mom who
was abusive so like the the girl was like fully like my dad is a hero he walks on water so he
moves in he begins instituting all these like rituals. Like he has like a meeting every night where like everybody like talks really seriously and like openly.
And he's like, you just got to be honest.
We've all had those roommates.
Right.
But he's like starts talking about people's sexuality, having these like really intense one on ones.
Rents an apartment over the summer and gets a bunch of the kids to spend the summer with him in this apartment where he's like,
like controls what they eat,
controls,
like it's basically turns into like this weird like sex cult where it's like a 50 year old guy who's like controlling all these college kids.
And I don't know,
man,
it's just so weird.
So then it like goes into like what his life has been up to that point and he
just does this with everybody that he meets he can just like get in there manipulate everybody
it's like crazy it's like some shit you've only seen in like a fictional movie one quote that i
just wanted to pull from you apparently uh super producer anna hosnia is saying that it reminds
her of dirty john because that's also like a sociopath
who's very manipulative. But this dude, the court ordered a psychological evaluation of the family
members during the time when there was all this back and forth between he and his ex-wife, right?
And the psychological evaluation came back and said that Larry is literally impossible to evaluate because he is
able to manipulate and control any situation in which he finds himself, including a psychological
interview with a forensic examiner, no matter how experienced that examiner may be. Mr. Ray is very
good at what he does. He can be utterly charming and one can be disarmed by his childlike simplicity
and smile but mr ray is no child he is a calculating manipulative and hostile man
but like so they sat down with him for an evaluation they were like i can't they're
like i gotta get it get me out get me out yeah like he just already just like got into their
fucking head i would love to to see what that looks like.
Because in my mind, with my arrogant ass,
I'm like, yeah, get me in the room with him.
I would love to see that too, honestly.
And then suddenly, next thing I'm like,
You're naked.
Yeah, I'm like, can we get a tattoo artist in here?
I'm getting Larry's face on my chest.
Right.
Exactly.
There's a part where one of the housemates
talks about how she doesn't feel great
about this dude who's a criminal and she gets weird vibes from him.
Yeah.
And then before she leaves to go abroad,
she writes a letter to her parents, everybody in the house,
all her teachers, anybody being like,
I disavow everything I said before.
The only reason I said that is his ex-wife told me to
he is a genius and he like he just fucking gets people another thing he does is he gets everybody
to pay him hundreds of thousands of dollars like they like beg their parents for all this money
by saying that they did like hundreds of thousands of dollars of damage to his belongings like
they'll like scrape a pan or something while doing dishes for him.
And he'll be like,
look what you did.
Oh my God.
He's it.
Is that my Calphalon pan?
Right.
Oh,
you motherfucker.
That's $15,000.
Yeah.
And like,
so he,
that's how he makes his money.
And then it like ties in.
So,
uh,
Rudolph Giuliani,
he's former driver who became the NYPD commish, Bernie Carrick, crosses him at one point.
He's about to go to jail for this pump and dump scheme that he's involved with.
Larry Ray is.
And he asks Bernie Carrick to write a letter on his behalf, and he doesn't.
And Bernie Carrick is not a household name anymore because this dude just tore his career the fuck down.
How?
I mean, he found out shit that had happened in his past or like affairs he had had.
Oh, Jesus.
And just exposed them to everyone in the media.
And then also got Carrick to pay him $100,000 for scratching his Nokia 5290 or whatever the fuck phone that was.
Exactly.
It is one of the most terrifying works of nonfiction I've ever read.
So shout out to New York Magazine, but everybody should read it for themselves.
It's fucking wild.
And shout out to any arrogant person like me who thought,
give me in the box with that.
You fucking manipulate me.
Because I'm really curious, for someone to even,
for a professional psychological examiner to say,
this person is impossible to evaluate because they will fucking control
everything yeah i want to know how that happened yeah what how it's so interesting and you know
speaking of those teachers they need their money can we teach in school how to spot a sociopath
right like how to spot a narcissist like what what to do, because they're everywhere.
Yeah.
And he's active. Like he's still some of these young women that he like brought into his apartment still like won't talk to their parents and like live with him.
Is he like having relationships with them?
Yeah.
One of them he's in a relationship with.
And then another one.
Just to get money from everybody?
Just to control everyone, to have people who do his will.
And he claims he's, like, helping them.
Yeah, right.
One of the people who lived in the house is, like, a dude who was struggling with his sexuality.
He made him and one of the other girls, like, have sex in front of him while he videotaped it to prove that he wasn't gay.
He's like, you're not gay, bro. And to prove it, have sex in front of him to like, while he videotaped it to prove that he wasn't gay. He's like,
you're not gay,
bro.
Like right.
And to prove it,
have sex in front of me.
Right.
Yeah.
It's dark.
It is wild.
Anyways,
that's our next great podcast.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Called reading articles.
Right.
That's right.
And let's get into guac cheese guys.
Let's talk about that.
So, Miles, where did you find this shit?
Sorry, what?
Where did you find guac cheese?
Oh, man, guac cheese.
I mean, I was looking on that website, The Takeout,
but apparently this is being offered at the Fresh Market chain.
That's a real grocery store?
I guess so.
I don't know about it.
I've never seen it.
I know they have a website, thefreshmarket.com. They must be some stuff that's sent to your house, maybe?
Having moved around a lot, I know that no matter where you move, the grocery stores at that place
are going to sound fake to you at first. It's like in Massachusetts, it's like Stop and Shop
or something like that. It's like a weird, and it has like a stop.
I thought Publix was fake.
Yeah.
I was like, yeah, all right, Publix.
Right.
It all sounds weird.
The same way when I tell people like, oh, yeah, Ralph's.
And they're like, yeah, Ralph's.
Sure, buddy.
Yeah.
Okay.
Southern California has a man's like ordinary first name bias because Kroger is named Ralph's
and Hardee's is called Carll's jr i'm thinking about
this is the cheese cold i mean guac is not good so right so this is the deal okay this guac cheese
it's a mix of gouda style cheese and a blend of avocado lime juice touch of chili tomato onion
and garlic gouda not even queso fresco or some fucking cheese that might actually match it looks
like just this green green oh it's like the shape of a cheese but green actually match it? And it looks like just this green glob.
Oh, it's like the shape of a cheese, but green.
No, it's a cheese.
So you can cut little cubes up and look, if you want to melt it down and put it in your
queso, so be it.
It just looks like green ass cheese.
Now, I know when I look at the flavors that they're describing, I'm like, okay, yeah,
yeah, I think I've been there.
But looking at it, it makes me feel a little weird about it.
This is the result of fucking healthy foods being just injected into non-healthy foods
because somebody lists them on a kind of power food website.
I don't know, we needed this in everything now.
The American understanding of nutrition is that you can eat your way to skinniness.
You're just like, we just need to eat more guac because avocados are healthy.
There's no guac in our cheese.
I can't stop.
I'm going to eat like three cheeses a day, full cheeses. But if we could put some guac because avocados are healthy. There's not enough guac in our cheese. I can't stop. I'm going to eat like three cheeses a day, full cheeses.
But if we could put some guac in it.
I wouldn't have my fourth meal, but unfortunately,
I haven't hit my daily recommended dose of superfoods.
Anyways, I think it looks good or it doesn't look good.
But when I found out that it's a blend of avocado lime uh chili tomato onion and garlic
like i like all those flavors together so i'm gonna fuck yeah look i mean i would eat a sandwich
that gouda and all that shit on it too but it's just it's just weird we look at green cheese and
like avocado in my cheese it's just guaranteed that it's better separate right yeah you know
so just sell me the two products separately i'll combine them in a sandwich i don't need you to
mash them together in advance.
Well, everything is about all the company's pre-mashing shit,
like mayo, Q, and mustard.
I want a bread that's made of mayonnaise.
Let's go.
That's the next lesson.
Just bring it.
You see that bread that is peanut butter and jelly?
Bread and eggs.
Yeah, you got to eat it with a fucking spatula or funnel.
