Presented by Capital One, founding partner of iHeart Women's Sports. 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.
Starting point is 00:02:22 So without further ado, here is the weekly zeitgeist. Well, I love having stand-ups on who are out there touring the country because I feel like you guys have a real good vibe of what's hitting, what people are thinking, what people are feeling right now in the country, in the zeitgeist. So it's good to have you on, Blair. Thank you for your service. Oh, my God. Thank you. Yeah. No, in the zeitgeist. So it's good to have you on, Blair. Thank you for your service. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Thank you. Yeah. No, it is a huge service. Somebody has to do it out there. And it's a big burden providing joy for all the people in the world. Can I ask you something possibly personal? Sure. On Twitter, you said you would never fuck a dude who didn't know how to grill again.
Starting point is 00:03:04 And I'm curious, what happened? Did you realize some dude you're dating could not throw it down on the grill? Or is this one of those jokey tweets? None of my tweets are jokey tweets. They're cries for help. No, I think my last two boyfriends, bless their hearts, both incredible people, but I don't think either of them could grill. Oh, wow. It's so easy.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Yeah. You just have to embrace the flame. Well, to be honest, I don't actually know how to grill. Sure. I have tried it, but right now my focus is perfecting a steak in a cast iron skillet. Okay, good. I don't want to depend on a man to reach the heights of luxury. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:03:51 But I also do feel I need to grill. I really need to learn. What's the bar? Because burgers, hot dogs, easy to grill. Chicken, a little trickier. Chicken's easy. Then once you get to fish. Well, it's all about how you use it, right?
Starting point is 00:04:05 You don't want to overcook your shit on too high heat on the grill. Have maybe half your grill going a little bit lower so you can rest that shit and use some indirect heat. I know, I'm just saying that's a higher level than just throwing some burgers on. What do you need? Look, obviously, the highest heights are preferred of grilling acumen. Right. So what's the highest height for you? I mean anything.
Starting point is 00:04:30 They know how to do everything. Oh, and shaking they're they're um you know marinating they're all this shit but i would take like an average standard level is good with me if they can just do chicken and burgers and stuff i think as long as you're literate that would make me feel taken care of wow i love that nice it was a's nice. It was a big, like, over the 4th of July, we had some families over. I was working the grill, and I did a decent job, and my wife was shocked that I did a decent job with the grill, like,
Starting point is 00:04:55 almost condescendingly. Wow. But it was a real turning point. I feel like I got a chip. Like, I got a little... What'd you cook? Just chicken and burgers and hot dogs and... See, See yeah if you keep the chicken moist You know then you're doing your thing Usually I set the chicken on fire Oh wow
Starting point is 00:05:11 And she's like gather around everyone You're not supposed to do Let's taste Jack's shoe leather Exactly I feel like I don't know why I mean maybe if you grow up with a grilling dad Like I associate that with being a man Right sure
Starting point is 00:05:23 But you know that's just a stereotype or something but I also my family's really into food so I associate food with love as well yeah of course of course my language one of my deepest love languages my deepest deepest yeah illiterate in the love language of food what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are oh the most recent thing that I was looking up was what does landlubber mean? Like from a cartoon? Yeah, like I called somebody a landlubber and then my friend was like, I thought it was landlover. And then I was like, yeah, that would make a lot more sense.
Starting point is 00:05:59 But I heard it like that as a kid. I feel like landlubber. It is landlubber. Apparently it is landlubber. Like a seafaring term? Yeah, itubber? It is landlubber. Apparently it's a it is landlubber. Like a seafaring term? Yeah, it's a bastardization of landlubber. But like the idea of calling somebody a landlubber. Yeah, landlubbers. Just fuck land.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Wait, in what context? You called somebody a landlubber? Yeah. One of the fucking rules. Yeah. She moonlights as a pirate. I was thinking how it's going to take to the sea. Yeah. Wait, how did you can you actually set up in the context in which you called someone a landlubber? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, me and my friend Jane are moving onto a houseboat to solve crimes.
Starting point is 00:06:34 See you later, landlubbers. Oh, nice. Wow. And that is an actual, that was the actual use? That was not just like the- Yeah, yeah. And my friend Jane really might buy a houseboat and we really will solve crimes so right god you live an interesting life what are the fucking questions here wait where is the boat going to be at to be determined to be determined have you been on
Starting point is 00:06:54 house ones or uh land crimes that you then retreat to your sea layer to your sea lab i mean i hope like sea crimes i hope it's yeah yeah although sea crimes kind of hope it's like... Yeah. Yeah. Although sea crime's kind of boring. Well, like, I'm hoping it's like an octopus is like, my wife is missing. Help. Right. Yes, exactly.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Just full cartoon. Yeah, yeah. Like someone finds you like a message in a bottle and they're like, I don't know what to do with this. That's what I want.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Someone's lost. Yeah. And like, power up the houseboat that is not seaworthy at all. So this is clearly a word that was derived from making fun of uneducated people who worked at sea many, many years ago. Maybe.
Starting point is 00:07:30 No, I think it's making fun of people who don't work at sea. Yeah. Oh. Right. Like you're a fucking landlubber. You ain't out here on the seas like we are. But then they're changing the way they say it, which is making fun of the way somebody who it's like saying fucking yankee like i guess something that a southern person would say and you're making fun of a southern person by saying
Starting point is 00:07:52 it that way so calling someone a landlubber i think it's just how you say landlubber with like a pirate accent right so is that not insulting to pirates all All you pirates out there, let us know. Call in to DailyZyka. We have more pirate news later. Oh yeah, exactly. Oh, maybe. Okay, so this is, as I look up the etymology, first recorded in the late 1690s is formed from land and the earlier
Starting point is 00:08:18 lubber. This quote lubber dates from the 14th century and originally meant a clumsy stupid fellow. An oaf. So it comes from like... So you're like a land idiot. Hey, fucking land asshole. Land moron.
Starting point is 00:08:33 That's what I imagine all fish think about us. Like, you dumb idiots. Oh, man. I bet if the fish see people drown, they're like, fucking landlubber, fuck out of here. You should have knew what it was when you got in here. Flipping around.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Flapping around like a babkin. We're always flapping around like babkins when we're drowning. Always using way too many napkins. Molly, what is something you think is overrated? Overrated? Summer. I hate summer. Really? Okay, go on.
Starting point is 00:09:05 As a ginger, it is just like I can't tolerate it physically. I can't be outside without putting on so much sunscreen and I hate it. Oh, right. So like longer days equal more time I have to be wearing sunscreen. More night, which is your brand? More night is my
Starting point is 00:09:21 brand anyway, but I also like I'm the person who's like excited for it to get dark early because it means I like don't have to wear sunscreen as long. Oh, so for you, everything in your mind is like how much sunscreen? Every season is a function of how much sunscreen? Being outside for me is like against nature. Like I'm not, clearly not meant to be in like a Los Angeles climate. Right. And so it's just a fight against the sun all day, every day.
Starting point is 00:09:44 But I also just think summer is overrated in general. What's so great about it? I think it's just because it's born out of when we're kids and this was when we weren't in school, happened to be summer. I do wonder if we didn't have that, if we got off during the winter for whatever reason. Yeah, you'd be like, hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Winter time. You do though. Snows out. You get Christmas break. Right. And spring break i mean christmas is just dope regardless but but summer also like like august you guys love august i mean i mean i like going on vacation here's my theory it's like vacation that's really what it
Starting point is 00:10:18 is fourth of july is the end of summer yes that's how i feel july and then august is what wait so what happens after fourth of july what's july 5th it's just like the long the long like sloggy part like the fire season here right yeah so everything catches on fire and like the air gets bad and you're not like at the beach having fun you're just like in your house and it's hot and you're from southern california right yeah yeah yeah yeah from the valley but then i was like got to see what it's like other places in summer. And then East Coast summer, even worse. East Coast summer is bad.
Starting point is 00:10:51 Southern summer, also bad. Like humidity, bugs. These are like throwing these things in the mix. I'll take dry. I'll take the dry heat. Spring and fall fucking rule on the East Coast. And the summer sucks. Right.
Starting point is 00:11:02 But the winter is also pretty bad. I love seasons, though bad i love seasons that's where you get yeah yeah we like seasons because we're from here yeah exactly that's why everyone's like yo come to fucking chicago right i'm like i will yeah you know what's funny i was in when i was just when i was in florence italy yeah i was speaking with some locals because it was so fucking hot just because you say it in a cool way doesn't mean that you're not saying, when I was in Florence, Italy. You simply must go. You simply must go. I mean, it's...
Starting point is 00:11:30 Yes. But like, they were talking about, it was so hot in the summer. I was like, what's it like at winter? Like, oh, it's fucking cold too. I'm like, damn, you get it both fucking ways like that? And they were saying, the one thing that two people were saying is like, you can feel it in your bones. And I hear that when a lot of people say that about different winters.
Starting point is 00:11:46 European winter. I want to feel. I want to know that feeling. And people are like, you don't. And I'm like, well, I do. It gets inside your clothes. It's crazy. I thought I wanted to know that feeling.
Starting point is 00:11:55 And that's why I went to college in Rhode Island. And then when you do, like, it was exotic for two years. I was like, fucking snow. It's in my bones yeah i'm gonna go sled every day right but then like the third year it was like it never became spring and i was like oh fuck this you became like every day you're like a russian dissident i was just like i'm too soft for this right yeah i was like oh i'm from california turns out uh now i've been back here long enough i've like forgotten what it's like to be that cold, but you can never really forget
Starting point is 00:12:25 because it is like once a little bit of snow or cold or whatever gets in your clothes. If your socks get wet accidentally, you're just fucked all day. East coast of the US is nothing compared to European cold. There's something wet about it. I spent a winter in ireland and it's it's so weird like it's different i like lived in boston at the time
Starting point is 00:12:53 and it was way worse than boston because it just like gets inside your clothes yeah it's in your bones look so if any listeners want to invite me to have a cold that will get in my bones, let me know where to go. Yeah, you should invite all of us to go leaf peeping. What is that? That's when people go look at the leaves changing colors in the fall. Oh, okay. I don't think that's what it's called.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Makes it sound vaguely perverted. In Japan, they call that hanami when you look at the cherry blossoms bloom. Yeah, is there like a fall equivalent? Dude, leaf peeping. Yeah, leaf peeping. I feel is there like a fall equivalent? Dude, leaf peeping. Yeah, leaf peeping. I feel like there is a word for that. I like any kind of nature-based tourism or activity that doesn't cost money,
Starting point is 00:13:33 but you're just like, we're looking at some trees. Yeah. It's the best. Upstate New York, Massachusetts. What do they got up there? They got some good trees. Great trees.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Yeah. That shit is correctly rated. Yes. Not overrated. Right. Trees, not over trees. Great trees. Yeah. That shit is correctly rated. Yes. Not overrated. Right. Trees, not overrated. Thank you. Maybe even underrated.
Starting point is 00:13:51 Yeah. I mean- Well, I wouldn't go that far. Appropriately rated by people 55 and over. But younger people might not know about that shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They should watch that M. Night Shyamalan movie. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Yeah. Pay respect. All right, guys. Let's talk about the tortilla apocalypse real quick this seems like the sort of thing that would be a uh an online hoax or like a social media rumor i was hoping i guess that was wishful thinking on my part because it turns out get your head out of the sand, Jack. This is a fucking problem. Yeah. And if you go to Taco Bell like I do, first of all, I didn't fucking get into the Taco Bell hotel. I know, man. What?
Starting point is 00:14:30 I even used a fucking VPN when I was overseas because I was like, I'm not trying to have them think I'm trying to do this shit. You know, because I was in Tuscany in Italy. I was in the European zone. Go and do a Taco Bell over there. Go to Taco Bell. They'd be like, yo, i'm trying to do my fucking reservations that shit sold out in two minutes i don't did you guys talk about that we did okay i was despondent
Starting point is 00:14:49 that day ah well anyway so now we hear that taco bell is running out of 10 inch tortillas okay focused on that uh fancy hotel right and focused on their tortillas well if you look if you if you believe redditor user Taco Bell Blake, who apparently works at Taco Bell, this dude has the Taco Bell T on Reddit says,
Starting point is 00:15:11 and this, look, this guy, you look through the post history, not fucking around. This dude deserves the username Taco Bell
Starting point is 00:15:17 Blake saying the shortage is because they are switching suppliers and that's what's happening. They don't know how to get all the fucking tortillas in the right spot.
Starting point is 00:15:25 This is what Taco Bell said to reassure people. While some Taco Bell restaurants are experiencing supplier shortages, we are working diligently to replenish the supply of our tortillas used for products like quesadillas and burritos in those restaurants and encourage fans to try any of our other delicious menu items like the Power Menu Bowl or Cheesy Gordita Crunch in the meantime. No, Taco Bell. Not reassuring, Taco Bell. That does not help the fuck okay also people did some research food and wine
Starting point is 00:15:50 magazine shout out to y'all they looked around they looked at some of the online menus and locations in different cities across the countries some stores in new york and st louis had nearly the entire burrito and quesadilla menu grayed out and listed as item not available. So this is fucking really impacting people in real life, IRL, and physical space. This is impacting people's lives. Do you think this is how the revolution will start? Sadly, it could be.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Between this and Taylor Swift finding that genocide in Yemen connection. Right. Wait, what happened? Oh, I don't even know this story. We'll get to that. Oh, okay. Okay. Oh, Taylor Swift is mad at Scooter Braun because he bought her Masters. connection right wait what happened oh i don't even know we'll get to that oh okay oh uh taylor swift uh is mad at scooter braun because he bought her masters and then right her fan base was like oh he bought them with this group the carlisle group oh they oh right okay they also uh fund
Starting point is 00:16:38 supreme yeah they bought supreme like three but they also uh fund fighter jets in Saudi Arabia. And if you watch Loose Chains, boy, they're like all over that shit. I remember when it came out, I was like, hmm, interesting. What's Halliburton? So now Taylor Swift fans are going after the Carlisle group, which is a great turn. Great. That's awesome. Great.
Starting point is 00:17:01 And they're all in my mentions all day being like, what do you think she was training us for? Why do you think she taught us to spot all those easter eggs in her videos it's because she was like leading us to take her videos have a lot of easter eggs yeah and like clues for the fans i mean i knew they were colored like easter eggs she was like we're better than the fbi we're gonna she's like fuck q anon it's all the swifties they're like we're gonna come take down all the powerful men i hope they will that would be amazing if that happens like then you know what i'm getting a tatted on my back look what you made me do what is something you think is underrated underrated definitely people who ordered tuna at subway that's a type of renegade personality that i'm trying to surround myself with. Wow. Yo. Yeah. Blair. Risk takers. Yo, I knew I loved Blair because that's my fucking shit at Subway.
Starting point is 00:17:50 And they look at me like I'm fucked up. It's so funny because some of my closest friends order tuna at Subway and like I would never do it. I'm a food freak. Yeah. But I appreciate it so much. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:02 The risk taking it requires. You have to know thys much. Right. Yeah. The risk taking it requires. You have to know thyself. Right. No, it's just like taking the pin out of a grenade and casually walking away. And like, I love that about people. Right. Thank you so much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:16 There's something about it. I was, I think a few episodes ago or when we, I think when we went to Sketch Fest or something, I was talking about my trials and tribulations of trying to procure a Subway tuna sandwich at the airport. And I was like, what the fuck is this, man? You got a fucking Subway and no fucking tuna? And I'm like, all right, give me turkey then. But the whole thing was like... But I mean, it shouldn't be illegal for you to carry that onto a plane.
Starting point is 00:18:35 It's fine. I'm a renegade. Hey, look, if motherfuckers can fart all day on you, I can eat my fucking tuna sandwich. I'm willing to trade that. Because I had... Oh my God, I didn't even tell you. When I got back from Oregon, this dude got out of his seat and I'm in the aisle and he went to go get his bag, farted in my fucking face. Oof.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Did you say anything? I went, this is what I did. Oof. That says it all. I didn't think, the only logical step is I would have blown, I would have been like, hey, my man. Right. You farted pon my visage.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Right. Do you think, do you think you did it intentionally? Or you think it's just that trapped gas? No, I get it. Yo, yo, yo, you, I, look, that's why, part of me wasn't mad because, you know, the altitude fucks your stomach up. It really does. Have you ever ripped ass on an airplane?
Starting point is 00:19:23 Yes. Yeah, no, it's, and you're, like, if you do do it, you're just like, no, I'm so sorry. I'm the worst person in the world. I never wanted to do this to people. I never wanted to do this to anyone. And you do say that out loud before you do it, right? No, no. What, miss?
Starting point is 00:19:37 No, no. I put on my sleep mask and my headphones so no one, I can't know that I'm there. Oh, wow. I think that's the whole reason that they make planes so loud is so that you can't hear all the farting that's going on. That was a design feature. When the Wright brothers were figuring out
Starting point is 00:19:54 air travel, they were like, well, hold on. We need the sound to be loud to cover our flatulence. I mean, you honestly can't hear most farts. You can never hear them. You only feel them. You smell them. The other thing I do is I'll take the air conditioner, air thing, the valve. And fart directly into it. And I try and do it so it's like directly creating a wall of air so their farts will
Starting point is 00:20:14 be blocked by my air conditioning thing. Yeah. It does not work. It's not scientific. I was about to say. Because diffusion works very differently than that. Right. But, you know, that's what it is.
Starting point is 00:20:23 And also, like, the other thing is, look, and I got some people coming at me on Twitter because I was talking about someone who was farting the whole flight I was on, and they were nasty. And look, I get you have to fart or whatever, but if you are farting, like, nasty, smelly ones, you can go to the bathroom, do your thing, or at least acknowledge to me, like,
Starting point is 00:20:40 yo, look, I got to be honest with you. I got something going on. Oh, my God. I would hate that if someone apologized to me I would be like I cannot handle this this is too intimate this conversation I will die
Starting point is 00:20:53 Blair I'm sorry for the farts and maybe gives you a long it's not your fault but I love how you're trying to curate air paths as like some sort of moat in the sky. Yeah, exactly. Right.
Starting point is 00:21:08 All right. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. Daphne Caruana Galizia was a Maltese investigative journalist who on October 16th, 2017, was murdered.

Starting point is 00:23:19 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? Just come here and play basketball every single day and that's what I focus on.
Starting point is 00:23:32 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.
Starting point is 00:23:55 This new season will cover all things sports and culture.

I'm Keri Champion, and this is Season 4 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.
Starting point is 00:24:22 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 hear them. Why is that? 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.
Starting point is 00:24:40 She is braggadocious. 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
Starting point is 00:24:56 get better because the talent is getting better. Listen to The Making of a Rivalry Caitlin Clark vs. Angel Reese on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. Well, Tess, I wanted to bring in this quick story because it feels like it's part of your beat as one of the hosts of Night Call. There is more UFO footage, this time
Starting point is 00:25:25 UFOs in videos flying over the Grand Canyon. How have you guys been dealing with the fact that there's this footage, it looks like two little white Tic Tacs flying in formation, which puts it in line with a lot of other footage from pilots of
Starting point is 00:25:41 Tic Tac looking things flying around. They always look like Tic-tacs yeah it's weird yeah tic-tac 2020 uh sky tic-tac 2020 president um but what how are you guys dealing well something that we have been talking a lot about on the podcast is how nobody cares about the ufos which is really curious to me because thinking back five or ten years, this would have been, everyone would have been like, well, we have to figure it out. Right. And it seems, it just, this information drops. It'll be in the New York Times.
Starting point is 00:26:13 It's in mainstream media publications. And people are like, huh, weird. Yeah. Well, moving on. I mean, it's, and I guess it makes sense. We have kind of enough on our plates. And it's also, it seems insane that aliens would choose now of all times to show up. I mean, maybe they're concerned.
Starting point is 00:26:29 They could hopefully, please help us. It's really bad here. And we just nuke them out of this guy. They're like, we brought you the secret to clean energy. Get the fuck out of here. Go away. But yeah, I mean, it's, I think a lot of what we talk about on the podcast just has to do with the fact that there's no one, there's no kind of curiosity like there used to be about getting to the bottom of this.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Right. It's just kind of noted. And then, yeah, discarded information. Yeah. And the fact that a lot of these sources have been very credible and a lot of the reports of what's been seen just totally match up. And it's, you know. Right. It's just really.
Starting point is 00:27:04 It's like this came off of a fucking navy jet exactly right there and you're hearing the pilots seem like what the fuck am i looking at right people in the pentagon are like yeah we don't know it's not just like a couple who own a lot of like parrots and ferrets in the desert selling beef jerky on the roadside yeah man they took me they took me um but I mean, it definitely kind of opens bigger questions about what we should be paying attention to and what we shouldn't. Not necessarily. I don't think it's necessarily true that we need to right now be paying a lot of attention to UFO sightings because I still think that there are lots of good explanations that are not extraterrestrial about what these things might be. Oh, give me one. What's a good one?
Starting point is 00:27:45 For a thing that is flying and defying the laws of physics, is it that another country has technology we're so behind on? Well, that's what I wonder. I mean, that's definitely one possibility. I only believe that scenario or it's aliens. Really? Because I would believe that somehow, just like in the arrogance of the United States military,
Starting point is 00:28:02 like some whole other shit just flew under their radar. And they're like, the pun was intended. And they're like, for the pun was intended. And they're like, damn, we fucked that one up, huh? We should have gave that scientist a meeting. Yeah, I mean, it's true. It also is, you know, when you think about in context of stuff like the Jeffrey Epstein case and everything, there's so much,
Starting point is 00:28:21 it's so easy to become deeply, deeply paranoid about things that are being covered up or sealed or, you know, kept from you. And then when you see these things, the fact that there could be possibilities that we don't even know about because there. I mean, it could be an operation on our own government that's just being badly presented. You know, guys fly away from like big monuments. Right. Yeah. Like, oh, it like oh scene in time square it's like use the invisible tic tacs next time the invisible orbs um but yeah i mean it's
Starting point is 00:28:52 just it's it's important i think to remain curious about these kind of things and to not totally dismiss them no i i do sort of i wonder if there is something to like we just don't have the bandwidth like psychologically emotionally right now to be like okay on top of this fucking aliens right exactly i mean okay i will accept that that happened yeah but i need to keep rocking because uh i have bills to pay the other big revelation to me from this most recent sort of spate of uh sightings is like i guess the theory was always among the UFO tracking societies that the government was covering something up and it seems more like the military is like, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:29:33 Yeah, they're more like that. Are you guys covering something up? And now they're like opening it up to public scrutiny just to be like, does anybody have any ideas what's going on here? Yeah, they've been stonewalled. And I mean, even the way that the media kind of covers it kind of lacks that hunger to figure it out. The fact that these things appear without more kind of in-depth,
Starting point is 00:29:58 almost like rogue reporting is interesting to me as well. I guess it's just because you assume that if you take the position that they're definitely extraterrestrial and you're going to get to the bottom of it, it's really easy to be dismissed as a crackpot. Right. Which, fair. But, you know, at the same time,
Starting point is 00:30:13 the fact that this year alone there have been how many credible reports? Like, it's been in the mainstream news more than in previous years. Yeah. And, you know, there are just all sorts of weird things that are like, yeah, if this was real, that is what would happen.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Like a whole rash of sightings like in the same place like at the same time and then they stop happening there like once people start reporting them and like changing their behavior. It's just very, very interesting times. Part of me thinks this is the only story we should ever cover, that we should just be a UFO podcast from now on.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Dude, it feels so good. That and Big Feet. Yes, that and Big Foot. Big Feet. Or a trample. I think someone on Twitter was like, a group of Big Foots is a trample. It's called a trample.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Yeah. But I'm like, I don't know. Do you know them? Do you know that's what they like? That's how they prefer to be referred to? That's their preferred. Yeah. They're like group, group designation.
Starting point is 00:31:11 I prefer the big feets. I think big feets is less violent. I wouldn't want a group of me to be called a trample. See, exactly. And then I would be on the defensive. A trample of test lynches. Yeah. A trample of tests.
Starting point is 00:31:21 You start reaching for your pistol because you hear a trample is coming. Like, hey, a couple of big feets are on their way down. I'm like, okay, let's see. They like lemonade? Let's talk about the mainstream media because another white terrorist carried out a murder. And it was just called a stabbing. Yeah. stabbing yeah over the weekend as many people saw um this 17 year old named elijah el-ameen was basically stabbed and had his throat slit yep by a white man who quote said he felt unsafe
Starting point is 00:31:55 because he had been attacked by people who listened to rap music in the past and he also said that people who listen to rap music are a threat to him and the community the suspect said he felt threatened by the music not the teen himself so he needed to be quote proactive rather than reactive end quote now proactive seems to be the phrase a lot of journalists are overlooking when describing this killing as anything other than a racially motivated hate crime or far right wing terrorism with their agenda of sort of like purifying the country or taking it back no matter how you want to look at this this person was proactively engaging in his own form of ethnic cleansing right of his own form of ridding this country of quote people
Starting point is 00:32:45 who listen to rap music. Right. I'm curious if he saw a white kid listening to rap music would he have slit this person's throat? Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:32:53 You know what I mean? And a lot of people like so many of the takes like every time this happens everyone's like imagine the roles are reversed. Right. Is it a black person
Starting point is 00:33:01 slitting the throat of a white teenager listening to whatever. This would be the front page of Fox News for the next three weeks. Yeah. And the fact is literally the second time this exact scenario has happened. Right, right. It's like fucking insane.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Now it's becoming a trope. Right. And also becoming like a thing where it's easy to be like, well, is it a mental health thing? Right. It always becomes a mental health thing when it's a white person killing people racially motivated. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:26 It becomes, well, he was hearing voices and it's like, well, you know. Yeah. Well, he was released from prison on Tuesday, apparently, and the murder happened on Saturday. And some people were like, well, we don't know if he needed mental health services. But other places were very quick to point out. He was never described as being mentally ill or anything like according to his paperwork in prison. But again, I don't really trust a prison to be the great assessor of people's mental health.
Starting point is 00:33:55 But again, this is a situation where the media does not want to confront the ugliness in this country where a child was killed simply for liking a genre of music or was killed because of his presence as a person of color right not because he was an actual threat of any kind to the people around him in any physical way it's this idea that the mere presence of a black body in front of white people is a threat to or is a perceived threat to them yep so this is the kind of shit that uh we see over and over again and another reason why when i'm like very uh suspicious of people like kamala harris like backing bills that are increasing the responsibility of police to not use violence or to
Starting point is 00:34:42 use body cameras or to she supported three strikes laws there are things like that when you look at that as a person of color you're like this is a person who's not seeing what is happening all the time right and it's easy to just take the stance of the status quo to be like oh well the three strikes law are there to prevent it's like no it disproportionately affects people of color and puts them in prison for life for all kinds of shit or that she's like oh you know i'm down with weed my family's from jamaica cut to her locking up so many people of color on marijuana charges right i don't i feel like the stories just get more and more tragic like this shit is just he would have been 18 in like two weeks and yeah he's a child the person who murdered him was a man
Starting point is 00:35:21 like that 27 years old definitely some shit that would not fly uh it were the roles reversed uh and i also think the media the mainstream media needs to acknowledge their role in shit like this i mean especially the fox news of the world well i mean they'll never fucking acknowledge that but i mean the the whole you know it's not just fox news it's also local news it's all news that uh is disproportionately more likely to report a crime if it's not just fox news it's also local news it's all news that uh is disproportionately more likely to report a crime if it's committed by a person of color than if it's committed by a white person like that they are misrepresenting what actually happens in the world to make white people scared of people of color like they because they because they know it, you know, that's what people will tune in for.
Starting point is 00:36:06 And you know, that this is the consequence of that. And you know, the mainstream media needs to be made to face up to that shit. And if you really like, if you want to be on some ally shit, ask yourself, if you see a person of color,
Starting point is 00:36:17 if you feel at all threatened by them. Right. And how you deal with that stress. Are you doing that because you have been fed a steady diet from the media where black people are predators and you don't know, I don't know. Right. And how you deal with that stress. Are you doing that because you have been fed a steady diet from the media where black people are predators? And you don't know. I don't know. Right. They got their systems loud.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Right. They're smoking weed in the parking lot. I don't know what that means. Like, really even check your own, how you see people or even how other people do. There are times I have to check people who are like, oh, I don't know. Like, dude, that area seems shady or something. I'm like, oh, because don't know, like, dude, that area seems shady or something. I'm like, oh, because why? Right.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Like, really fucking, and because this is the kind of mentality that starts off very small and then feeds into the sort of, like, reactions that police have when they have interactions with black people, because they're sort of, they go into this autopilot of, like, well, I've been fed a diet where this, your presence equals a threat to my existence. Yeah. So I will act accordingly and his whole i mean the whole premise is bullshit because this was this also was this a gas station
Starting point is 00:37:10 yeah yeah so if that were true if it was like i'm afraid then you fucking get back on the highway like what this man wanted to do and that's like the the trump thing and that he wanted to be a vigilante because it's like i want to to be proactive rather than reactive was his words. But then your whole argument falls apart. It's like, oh, you were afraid, so you want... So you had to... No, it's like, let's be real. You were looking to kill a person of color.
Starting point is 00:37:35 You found your target who was probably smaller than you, whatever, you thought, okay, this is easy. 100%. And you carried out a murder that you've been planning on doing. Yeah. It's really clear. And you're blaming it on fear. Because as a woman, and as a tiny woman, I get scared a lot of the time, and I get the fuck out of there.
Starting point is 00:37:52 Right. So there's no part of this dude that actually felt threatened or scared. It's like you said. He went out being like, no, I'm going to kill a black guy. No, I'm going to do a murder. Yeah. That's 100%. And I think to even create the wiggle room and how
Starting point is 00:38:05 you report it i think is so fucked up and disingenuous and yeah i mean if and if he really was scared why don't you just do what most white people do and just call the cops right for no reason yeah uh this black person's listening to rap music i'm sure they're like yeah we get it we get this call a lot right test what's myth? What's something people think is true you know to be false? I think, I mean at least among my friends, the prevailing wisdom is that ghosts are not real. I'm going to go ahead
Starting point is 00:38:34 and say that I recently feel like maybe we're all wrong and that ghosts are real. What's making you feel like that? A friend showed me that her baby monitor had picked up apparitions. Okay. And it didn't just happen once.
Starting point is 00:38:49 It happened a number of times. And they just – I'll show you guys later. It looks like a person. No, show me right now. It's going to take a while. Yeah, because it's deep, deep in the socials. But it's like a woman holding a child. It's like an outline, a heat outline.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Oh, weird. It's so weird. And a child. It's like an outline, a heat outline. Oh, weird. It's so weird. And then it just kept happening. And then I went down this whole rabbit hole of other baby monitors picking up ghosts. So I believe they're real, but you can only see them on baby monitors. Okay, can we actually edit this out? And we need to start writing a script for a contained thriller that's all through baby monitor imagery. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Oh, oh. Has that already been done yet? It must have already happened. I think that's a little hanging fruit. That's all through baby monitor imagery. Oh, yeah. Oh, oh. Has that already been done yet? It must have already happened. I think that's a little hanging fruit. One of those paranormal activities has to be a lot of baby monitor activity, right? I don't know. Zeitgang, if you're a paranormal activity expert, let us know if we're already on well-trodden ground.
Starting point is 00:39:37 Yeah. Paranormans out there. Paranormans. I think that you could make an entire movie that's just someone watching on a baby monitor as hands come grab the baby. And it's like you could just stretch that one moment out for two hours and watch it. And I'd probably cry. Just make it extreme slow motion. Extreme slow.
Starting point is 00:39:54 Just react like expression is. Just people's faces being like, no. It's the new train coming towards the camera. It's like just go in the other room. You're right next to the door. You can't make it inside. Just shaking, watching.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Yeah. So did, okay, so this apparition was in fact, it looked like a woman holding a child. Yes. And then the physical
Starting point is 00:40:13 IRL child was in manger? So this is the thing. No, the child was not in, no, the child was not in the room. The child had just been taken out of the room.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Oh shit. It was an empty, so that's the thing is some of these monitors. So the ghost thought somebody wasn't looking. Yeah. The the thing is some of these monitors. So the ghost thought somebody wasn't looking. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:28 The ghost was like, wait a second. They don't know about Wi-Fi. They're dumb, dude. Ghosts don't know. See? Yeah. That's the one thing we got on ghosts. We're smarter. Wi-Fi.
Starting point is 00:40:35 We got a lot of things on ghosts, bro. We're getting served better apps. Yeah, I saw a ghost just defecating in the street, not even using a toilet. That's how far behind this ghost was. Right. It was like, I'm, what are you, a toilet? I was like, all right. J.K. Rowling was lying.
Starting point is 00:40:48 They can't just make their, I guess that's wizards, but anyone with magic. J.K. Rowling said that wizards back in the days used to just make their poop disappear as opposed to- As a trick or just as a convenience? As a convenience. Oh, okay. Yeah. I thought it was like the centerpiece of their show,
Starting point is 00:41:08 like, and for my next trick. No. Could you imagine, though, if you could shit your pants? Right. Wherever you wanted. Oh, I can. And then just reversed it and gone.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Like, no muss, no fuss. Yeah. I think it would have to... I think the spell would have to have it disappearing as it passed the border of your asshole because otherwise it would get on your pants. Oh, so you set up a black hole by your asshole. Right.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Yes. That you shit directly into the void. Right. Yeah. Wow. It's a parallel universe, but only for that. Anyways, try that out, ghosts, who I know are listening for a certain-
Starting point is 00:41:43 Set up a black hole by your asshole, ghosts. It is really weird that baby monitors are like such a half-assed video, like closed circuit TV level quality of video. It's like black and white. Oh, yeah. Let's make it scary. Let's watch a baby and make it scary. You're already terrified that something bad's going to happen to your baby.
Starting point is 00:42:06 Why don't we just add a layer of foreboding? And then they wake up and their eyes are glowing. What the fuck? Yeah, no, exactly. And sometimes there's glitches where the baby appears to be frozen and then the tape kind of speeds up. Have you ever? Oh, yeah, it's like laying down.
Starting point is 00:42:20 And then it does super fast zombie mode baby for a second while it goes down. Yeah, yeah, like that crawling baby. Oh, my God it's like laying down. And then it does super fast, like zombie mode baby for a second while it goes down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like that crawling baby. Oh, my God. From the meme. So that's the whole film. It's a contained thriller. Everyone's watching all this wild shit go down the baby monitor, and it turns out they're high.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Plot twist. Right. There you go. All right. Well, it sold itself. Hello? Lionsgate? Yes.
Starting point is 00:42:43 All right, let's talk about this New York Times advertorial. Yeah. Suspected advertorial. Well, the headline is this. Fatal accident with metal straw highlights a risk. I saw that. That's a powerful headline. Yes.
Starting point is 00:43:01 That is going to be the most popular article of New York Times' year. Yeah. Until Bari Weiss tries to normalize some kind of weird fucking monster. Right, right. But until then. Until then, metal straw, metal straw, carries it. So this is from the article. A British woman was impaled by a metal straw after
Starting point is 00:43:19 falling at her home, a coroner said in an inquest this week. The woman, who is 60, who had a disability, fell and sustained a traumatic brain injury when the 10-inch straw pierced her eye. And I could go on, but apparently she was rushed to the hospital and then passed away later on. It was like in a sort of mason jar style.
Starting point is 00:43:42 I like how they're really specific, too. I mean, they put a photograph. A kilner-style cup. Right, right. Jesus. So that's a shot at big mason jar style. I like how they're really specific too. I mean, they put a photograph. A kilner style cup. Right, right. Jesus. So that's a shot at big mason jar too. I mean, so the question I have from this is do, because this probably has to be about as common as a pen, right?
Starting point is 00:43:59 Like or a screwdriver or any other metal thing that is that size. Well, I guess it's different because maybe because of the nature of a straw it'll always somewhat be vertically oriented like a pen is always going to lay flat on a table like if you had a cup you're using it though sure but you're not going to be like using a pen and then like be like oh right right fall eye on down onto it well sure nobody has ever put a pen in a cup. Sure. Well, I don't know. Look, this is becoming a very interesting debate now.
Starting point is 00:44:28 But they did say that the woman who passed away, she was a former jockey, I believe, and had like scoliosis and some other injuries. And they also had some substance abuse issues. So it's not quite clear. I mean, that's why it's sort of a weird story to me where it's like, well, see? That's what we've been saying.
Starting point is 00:44:48 That's what we've been saying. Over here, a big plastic straw. You know, you got to watch out. But that's what I'm wondering is, does this really highlight a danger or is this a freak accident that happened? I guess the one thing that I could see possibly making metal straws more dangerous
Starting point is 00:45:06 than other metal thin long cylinders is that you get drunk through it so you might be around it more often whilst drunk. If you're getting that fucked up I don't know how earth conscious you are.
Starting point is 00:45:22 What do you mean? Like if someone's like you know is that metal straw? Nah, dude, you got fucking plastic straw. I just drink out of a cup. Nah, dude, this is fucking, you don't want to drink that. I don't know if you've seen the fucking gyre in the Pacific Ocean. That's why I have these bracelets on. Each bracelet is a pound of ocean plastic removed.
Starting point is 00:45:41 So I'm the one ocean bracelet is what I'm buying. Real quick, Paul, what's better bus, Peter Pan or Greyhound? What do you think? I'm gonna go Peter Pan because I've heard some grisly stories about Greyhound. There was that story about in Canada, like a guy took over
Starting point is 00:45:59 the bus and sawed off a person's head. Yeah. Yeah, so that alone. There was nothing in the Greyhound policy against that. There were no repercussions. Was that in Canada? It was in Canada. It was coming out of Winnipeg, I think. Yeah. Because there are always wild stories
Starting point is 00:46:15 about Winnipeg. Jesus. John Candy was attacked by a man wielding a chain. Oh, God. Underrated weapon. Yeah. Like just a fucking loose chain. He's like, hey, you like jokes? Really?
Starting point is 00:46:31 Why do you know that? Because I was that man. Because I was that boy. I'm friends with his family. Oh, wow. We met in Italy. Of course, or else. Let's talk about the new john candy he's actually hold on i thought you were gonna ask me my favorite bus company
Starting point is 00:46:50 would be reggio jet the great regional bus of italy did you know when john candy uh goes to italy they call him john prosciutto i'm sorry all right yeah you went okay with john prosciutto why prosciutto i uh did it again i thought you were talking about john ham when john ham goes to italy they call him john prosciutto leave it in no they need to no no please cut it out you don't deserve this you mean blake your record is better than you would actually be gianni caramella. That's good. Gianni Caramella. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Great. Edit that in.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Yes. Do you want to do the joke so we can? No. No, no, no. Keep this in and pretend we're going to do it. Pretend you get another chance right now. Okay. Did you know when John Candy goes to Italy, they call him John Pergiuto?
Starting point is 00:47:47 Fuck you. Fuck you, Blake. This motherfucker, get him out. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We will 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.

Listen to the making of a rivalry Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese
Starting point is 00:51:48 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. Finally, we want to talk about the latest offering from Villa Italian Kitchen. Is that how we're pronouncing that? Or Villa?
Starting point is 00:52:08 Let's call it Villa. Let's go with Villa. Okay, cool. Aston Villa. I didn't know. I'm not familiar with this establishment. Have you been to a Villa Italian Kitchen ever? I don't believe so.
Starting point is 00:52:19 They're spread out across the United States. There's like two in LA. So, you know, you'll have to forgive me for not having been to what seems like just a step maybe above or below Sbarro. I'm picturing it's Sbarro. I wish I could. Yeah. And so they have introduced an offering that's just all crust. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:39 So you can go to them and order a little, like, you know, like the little slice, triangular slice containers? That, but filled up with pieces of crust. And it does look like they, these are pieces of crust where the pizza has been eaten off of it. Yeah, because it's got a little bit of cheese. I was about to make that joke. Yeah. But it does look like that? It does.
Starting point is 00:53:00 Look at the picture. Like, there's got the little cheese and, like, the red part, like, on one side, which it's a very, you know, like, my wife eats my crust sometimes. Does she? Yeah. Because she likes it or she has that, like, immigrant kid habit of being like, don't waste that food. No, she likes it. Like, sometimes, like, because I'll eat, I'll get, like, more pizza than her and then she'll be like, all right, I'll take those crusts off your plate. That's a
Starting point is 00:53:25 healthy marriage yeah but i feel like it's a very intimate thing to do and then eat someone's crust yeah and then i mean they're just they're clearly just taking this off of people's trays and putting it no well here's it obviously it does but it does look like that like if you told me that's what was happening there's like a a separate trash can for crusts.
