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 that you think is underrated?
Yes, okay.
So, what is underrated is this thing at CVS that I've been wanting for years.
The pharmacy CVS?
Yes.
Okay.
Okay.
So, in 2017, I went to CVS, and I didn't have much disposable income two years ago.
So, I was walking around the Halloween aisle, as you do,
and there was this little toy called Twerking Mummy.
And he was so cool.
I was like, oh, my God.
And then I was like, oh, it's $20.
I can't really pay $20 for Twerking Mummy.
I'll get it next year.
And then next year came around, no Twerking Mummies anywhere.
I was like, fuck fuck i should have just
put twerking mummy on a credit card yeah yeah i was so mad at myself and then last week i was
walking through cvs again because i go every day and twerking mummy was back i got him here let me
see what i brought him look at his ass is so big wait why is twerking mummy trying to look back at it too
twerking mummy is looking
so twerking mummy is looking over
I'm pretty sure
I'm pretty sure this is a pitbull song
let me know ready
here he goes
we have
they really it really does twerk oh yeah yeah it's weird it is strange you ever seen like a bee
bee move its ass like that it looks like you see like a bee the lower half is just pulsating that's
what it reminds me of it almost looks like a cat trying to throw up in fast motion. Oh, wow. I love it so much.
We do, fortunately, have the rights to all of Pitbull's catalogs,
so that won't be a problem.
I like that he has such a deep voice.
I'm a fireball.
Is that what it says?
I'm a fireball?
He says it at the beginning and the end.
All right, go off, twerking mummy.
I love twerking mummy.
If you see one.
What was that sort of moment like for you?
You know, like, let's pretend this is your inside the actor's studio.
And when you bought twerking mummy, what did you then realize about where you were in your career?
I then realized that, you know, even if you do have the disposable income to get twerking mummy,
it's still not going to feel good to bring it up to the register and say, you know what?
I want to pay $20 to have this at my house.
I don't know.
Sometimes it'll just kind of go off, though, at night.
Oh, it does go off.
But last night, it was like 4 in the morning, and I have it on the shelf above my bed,
which I have to move it because it fell on my head last night.
Oh, wow.
Torgy, am I trying to kill you?
I mean, history is full of reports of haunted dolls.
There's got to be an example of a haunted Big Mouth Billy Bass.
I can't imagine a more cursed item than this
but I fell asleep watching 10 Cloverfield Lane
and then I woke up being impaled by
twerking mummy rough night for me
I feel like on it this sounds like a great short
for you to write where twerking mummy
is actually trying to kill you
I wouldn't put it past him
thank you
I heard that twerking mummy chose you more than
you chose twerking mummy. Right, right, right.
Is that true?
Yeah, yeah.
And the whole waiting for two years, I mean, that's just a part of the plan.
That's like the notebook wrapped up in the orphan.
There's so many dimensions to this.
Yeah.
Cursed item.
Fantastic.
What's something that's underrated?
Airplane mode and nature.
Okay, this is like related to the experience I had but
recently I've been doing some traveling because I hate the city and no I don't hate the city I just
hate my life and uh come on now no uh and then I've been doing this thing where I purposely put
my phone on airplane mode and so I'm completely unreachable by anybody and it's so freeing because
then I'm just taking photos for myself and like enjoying a tree and appreciating nature and i went to the sequoias recently and camped and did some
did some shrooms and i was like this is the life i want to live you know i want to just like look
at a tree and be like thank you yeah you know trees are underrated wow flip it up trees trees
have you man that must have been a cool trip when you're like, you know what?
I'm going to write this down.
Trees.
Fucking underrated.
They are underrated.
The only time I did shrooms, I got into an argument with a wall.
I got to try it again.
You should go outside.
I should have gone outside.
I got into an argument with a wall.
More specifically, a piece of drywall in an alley.
It was hard.
Hard for me.
Have you read the, that reminds me a lot of that um book
how to do nothing have you read i think you'd like it i think i should read it it's really good it is
like it's about like unplugging and going into nature but then also like knowing how to like
responsibly plug back in when you need to well that's that's the thing as much as i love airplane
mode it is a full-fledged like panic attackfledged panic attack when it turns on and I'm going
down the mountain or whatever.
And it's just like 45 emails and all these texts being like, where are you?
And I'm just like, I don't.
And I hate texting because I don't want to talk to anybody.
Yeah, I'm the same way.
I'm a bad texter.
I'm a horrible texter.
Yeah, I'm good on the phone.
I'm old school like that.
I'm like, yo, if you call me, I'll pick up right away.
Yeah, I'd rather call than text.
I don't like text.
And I'll have like a 40- minute conversation with people who like doesn't need
to be there. Um, yeah, I think, you know, it's, it is tough to, it's also another thing to consider,
right? Is it, is it the, the nature of what you're doing, like for work, the things that are
causing you the emails, is that a source of your stress too? And is that the best thing for you?
Yeah. I mean, yeah, I think I've been, would you rather be getting emails from trees yeah or something or like people being like shereen
we need you to go plant this stuff in the mountains like yeah i do think like the reality
of like i don't know living in la and like trying to like be uh financially stable is like stressful
and so absolutely you like i feel like when i travel i'm like running away from something all
the time and so when i when all the emails come, I'm just like, oh, I cannot avoid all these things.
But I do think trees just appreciate a tree.
Trees do so much.
Yeah, plant one.
And they are so beautiful.
I just planted one.
What, really?
A little orange tree.
Yeah, just because I like them.
In your backyard?
In the front.
Oh, nice.
So people know.
So people know, like yo people know oranges for
free over here please i don't know what to do are you gonna be one of those neighbors that like
calls people out when they're like picking your tree out like on their walk well it's good you
would have to like fully get up on my property i can imagine i can see you doing that though hey
yeah hey i feel like you don't take a ripe one yeah you could take take one that fell
only from the left side.
Thank you.
Move along.
You're lucky I'm even letting you have an orange.
These are delicious.
This is a public service I do.
You're going to have to play by my fucking rules.
You can have like a little sign.
Sign in sheep?
Yeah.
Oh, man.
No, because I was in, I was driving like from Santa Clarita to somewhere like in whatever.
But I pulled over and there was like an orange grove, I guess.
And I like wanted an orange and I got one and I got yelled at.
Oh.
Oh.
Well, yeah, that'll happen.
Some call that trespassing.
I think that's your future.
I think that's your future.
Nah, man.
Fruit is for the people, man.
Fruit is for the people.
It's true.
Anything that's grown from the earth is for the people.
You know what I mean?
Anyway, but I digress.
What is something from your search history
that is revealing about who you are uh i can't believe that's the first question you guys are
giving me okay no um i'm always looking for new shoes always i have like 300 pairs of shoes and
that's not enough 300 pairs yeah oh like uh emelda marcos that's a washed. 300 pairs? Yeah. Oh, like Imelda Marcos?
That's a washed reference.
Yeah, I was like, what? I think it's a historic reference.
I think there's a difference between historic and washed.
Is that the Filipino woman?
Yeah.
Okay, good for me.
I've been knowing my shoe people.
I was like, wait, is that the Filipino woman
that has like a billion pairs of shoes?
Yeah, what was her record?
It was something obscene.
Yeah, hers is something like a billionaire.
But are you trying to get there? that be you no i've heard shoes
all the time oh yeah as soon as the style's up like it's kind of oh so will you lean into a
style take a you know be like you know what this is this is the moment yeah but know that the moment
is fleeting and eventually that will have to be tossed unless it's like a classic look for me
like i'm wearing sneaker wedges right now. I'm never letting them go.
Yep, sneaker wedges.
Bam, right?
Fucking comfortable.
You can still wear them
to a club.
Okay.
Bam.
How do you look for shoes?
Because I just look
on sneaker websites
because I only wear sneakers.
Is there like a website?
Is there a way
for you to centrally?
No, I totally Google search.
I'm just like,
all right,
pointed toe,
pump,
and leopard print,
actual like pony hair, which is actually just, you right, pointed toe, pump, in leopard print, actual pony hair, which is
actually just a cow, but it's called pony hair.
Oh, cow is just called pony hair?
Yeah, they call it pony hair to sound fancy rather than cow hair or leather with the hair
still attached.
Yeah, it's a little less exotic.
We call that lazy leather.
Exactly.
It's like they did a little less work
i don't believe they skinned an animal that little children squeal over at birthday parties
there you go because yeah like that that's the hook you're like oh this is pony hair this is
cruelty to a young animal hair exactly hey people love veal yeah right okay they know exactly what
that shit is yeah i do wonder like if there was a point where people started liking food based on how cruel it
was.
Right.
Because there is foie gras.
I feel like that's the basis of meat.
Right.
You know what?
Let's kill the dog.
Well, I think a lot of people probably don't know.
Right.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
That's true.
You just eat something and then someone's like, you know what that is.
Right.
Right.
It's like they force fed a goose till it fucking died basically.
Right.
And they're eating the liver. That's so sad. I didn't know that. That's what foie force-fed a goose till it fucking died basically right and they're eating the liver that's so sad i didn't know that that's what they force me to oh yeah
to get all the stuff that's why that's why it's banned i think now again in california because
they're like we can't stand behind this practice oh my god that's terrible i did not fucking know
that yep so i don't eat it so i'm in the clear of it still. Yeah. I think foie gras is gross. See, for a while I wasn't able to get the foie gras quesadilla at Taco Bell. Cause I was
like, I don't know if I can get behind this. No, that's a joke. I was like, I have to give that a
firm nigga, please. I'm like, wait, they had like a money taco. Like you can get the $19 taco if
you feel like springing that at lunch. Doritos locos
with truffle.
Right? It doesn't make sense. When truffle got
like popular, I was like, there's no way
this is all real truffle. How much of this is Parmesan?
Oh, for sure. Or just like
the perfumed version because that's the other thing
people, there are a lot of truffle oils.
If they're not the real article, it's actually
just perfumed oil. There you go. Yeah.
Like real truffle. I'm like, that's actually just perfumed oil. There you go. Yeah, because like real truffle,
I'm like, that's like a whole to-do to get.
There's not enough pigs to sniff all this out.
Not to have like a company based on truffle chips.
And when you see like people who are like truffle dealers,
like in the food scene,
like that shit, it's like real drugs.
They're like, nah, I'm sorry, I'm out.
Like I already promised this to this person.
They're like, go to a restaurant.
They're like, this is what I got.
No, you're good.
All right, I had to keep moving to the next restaurant.
All the top chefs have their own connect and shit.
Some of them's legs are already broke.
Are there like
prized truffle sniffing pigs?
I don't know. Maybe.
One truffle per pig and then you have to kill the pig.
Oh no.
A bee gets one sting.
Is there the babe of truffle pigs?
Yeah right.
I think we need to go into our time machine back maybe 110 years or so.
Okay.
Because Melville Dewey, who many people, if you grew up in America and are old enough to remember the Dewey decimal card catalog system in a library on how to organize a library.
He's a huge figure in libraries.
And recently, the American, I just want to say this right,
the American Library Association,
they took his name off one of their top honors,
which was the Melville Dewey Award.
The reason why is this dude is canceled.
This is, I mean, this is like fascinating.
I did not know. You know, well, I mean, this is, like, fascinating. I did not know.
You know, well, I mean, I think if we look back in history on anybody,
there was an era where people did
terrible shit on the open, and the way
we handled it was, oh,
that's troubling.
And it's when stories come up that are, like, something
that seems so innocuous,
like the Dewey decimals,
they're like, fuckwey decimals. Right.
They're like, fuck, it is an epidemic.
It is. He was an anti-Semitic, racist, misogynist sex predator.
What was the name of, can you just, it made me so happy.
What is the name of the organization
that ended up getting his name removed?
Because it was like, it rules.
The whole reason was like, they took off,
what's her name?
Sarah Ingalls Waller.
You know, they took her name off
because of a lot of the racist shit she was saying.
And that's sort of been kind of the momentum
within the American Library Association
of being like, no, we need to be very inclusive.
Like we don't have time to like obscure people's legacies,
especially when they're completely at odds
with our own views.
Laura Ingalls Wilder, right?
Yes, Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Wilder,er yes thank you
and i will tell you so this whole movement came out of the ala's social responsibility round
tables feminist task force i love it that's amazing they're out here i'll wear that pulling
up the fucking receipts so apparently this shit goes back to 1906 he was first censured by the
american library association in 1906 when several women quote complained about his improper behavior
toward them including unwanted kissing hugging and caressing in public dewey's own daughter-in-law
even moved out of his home because she was uncomfortable around him. In addition to the sexism, he was also cited for his antisemitism and racism.
He had a private club that he owned,
I guess in Lake Placid,
and was like,
we have a no Jews and no blacks policy here.
What the fuck?
My God.
And when people came to the club,
there was pamphlets out there,
in case y'all were curious,
that said, quote,
no one shall be received as a member or guest against whom there is physical, moral, social, or race objection. It is found
impracticable. Nerd. To make exceptions to Jews or others excluded even when of unusual personal
qualifications. This was also in 1906. He had a big year that year. He was basically forced to
resign from his state library
position because they're like, this is unbelievable.
And you know what his defense was?
What? I got friends that are Jews.
Of course. Oh,
the classic. Yeah. He started it.
I can't be anti-Semitic. My
lawyer's Jewish. That kind of shit. And basically
said that also it's a
private club, so I think I should be allowed to choose
who enters and doesn't.
Interesting.
But like all this stuff didn't stop him from having a legacy a century fucking later.
Well, that's the thing, right?
Because he was still such a big name that like if you look, I think, on his bio on like some website that's more of like a governmental website, they describe him having a complex uh-huh they distilled all of his racism sexism those are complex predatory behavior as
because that that's the old school way of dealing with that shit it's like we'll acknowledge it by
saying complex because it's euphemistic enough mistakes were made but right rather than at the
same time i'm sure so many
prominent people like names in our history should be canceled for sure this is like the one like
this maybe this is like one of the exceptions where there's actual evidence there well right
what what's odd though too is like he has a history within this organization where he's being
censured by this organization for this yet still did it and i'm sure the powers that be at the time
found a way to protect his legacy or whatever.
So another, just another anecdote from this Slate article
says that he would do this thing where he,
like he championed this thing called simple spelling
where he would, it would quote,
eliminate extraneous letters.
Okay.
So basically like typing like a kid, essentially.
And he hired a stenographer who he described as a dainty little flapper, L-I-T-L, because he does simple talk.
I'm going to kick this guy's ass.
He like jumpstarted the era of like not liking vowels, like Tumblr and Flutter.
No, seriously.
And better looking, B-E-T no seriously and better looking b-e-t-r better
looking than i expected yeah what is he writes like he's naming a startup he's a fucking loser
um so okay then he was hugging and kissing her in public um she was basically was like yo i'm
gonna file charges against you and settled uh for2,147.66.
That's a check, 1927.
That's like a Weinstein-style settlement.
And according to Dewey's biographer, Dewey was upset with the settlement,
not because he had gotten in trouble for his behavior,
because he was worried the stenographer might spread a rumor
that she got $2,000 for no work.
What?
Yes.
That was his fear.
Wow.
We've come a long way.
Yeah.
And again, when he was censured by the ALA, his response, he said he insisted he hadn't done anything wrong.
And pure women would understand my ways.
Oh, God. I hate that quote
so much. No no no
What does that even mean?
I don't. I mean that's that is
meant to imply that anyone who is saying stuff
about me like that is not pure.
It's like anyone who isn't okay
with me grabbing their ass in public is
wrong. Impure.
Is not a virgin.
Like you're just like what oh god pure women would understand
my ways oh my god i want to barf man i really admire the like the task force yeah going because
it's like this is we gotta make t-shirts i mean the fact that the thing of like the
i was not that i got that she would like threaten me with a lawsuit. I don't want her to think she got that money for no.
Yeah.
What?
That's how indignant and like not apologetic he ever was.
Like he never actually believed he was in the wrong.
He's right.
He even had to do any sort of like settlement.
He was the start of the bad apologies that we see on Twitter of their like in the notes that like are posted, you know, apology icon.
I think I think we have to call it StarCon
though, just non-apologies.
Just rationalizations for shitty fucking actions.
If this dude hit the notes app,
yeah, it would be a mess.
Oh my God.
The notes app apology from Melville Dewey.
He was like, I'm upset,
but it's because she didn't work.
Council culture is going too far.
Centuries ago.
What's next, comedy?
If librarians aren't safe, I'm afraid no one is. The library in Civil War. Cancel culture is going too far. Centuries ago. What's next? Comedy? I know.
If librarians aren't safe, I'm afraid no one is.
The librarian civil war on cancel culture.
I can't imagine people being like, cancel culture is going too far because we're literally
going back in time at this point.
Like, this guy's dead.
Yeah.
Well, I think because also, too, right now, 79% of librarians are women.
Right.
So I think when they start looking back in their own
organization they're like this is terribly fucked that's a good point yeah they're like especially
when someone has a legacy i think i think that's the thing when someone is like like revered for
like inventing a fucking system or something and then their whole name is the system like
right you know that's like have like receiving like the donald Trump Friend to Islam Community Service Award.
Where you're like, what?
But at the same time, I just thought of this.
His children and his children's children, should they be punished?
Or should their name be maligned because of their association with something?
Should you be, getting back to Ad Astra, should you be punished for your father's crimes?
I don't think so.
How are they suffering now?
No,
I don't think they're suffering.
No.
And I don't think you necessarily need to be like,
hey man,
are you Melville Dewey the fourth?
Yeah.
Milkshake,
motherfucker.
Like,
no,
like that's,
that has nothing to do with them.
Stuff like that.
I'm just playing devil's advocate.
I don't actually agree with that.
But like,
I just think it's a funny thing to think about.
that could be a possible argument to be like, leave it alone.
And also, that system isn't being used anymore, from what I understand, in libraries.
Yeah, fuck books.
From what I understand.
There's no libraries.
Use Canopy.
Canopy is great.
Canopy is great.
I love Canopy.
What is that?
If you have a library card, it's fucking free.
Oh, that's the one.
It's a streaming service for so many movies.
It's so good.
Yep.
Eli Oldsberg was just talking about that there can't yeah me yeah stuff like this me and eli are like library buddies yeah because we're on letterbox and we have like
canopies it's fun cool anyway there was another thing too like he he founded the library school
at columbia in the late 1800s. And he was like,
I think women need to be admitted as students here because he gave a speech
called,
this is the,
but he gave a speech entitled librarianship as a profession for college
bred women.
I don't know.
College bread.
Where he said,
although women had the character intelligence to be librarians,
they were also more likely to get sick or leave the profession to pursue home life.
And women deserve smaller salaries than men because males,
in addition to being capable of the same library work,
could also, quote, lift a heavy case or climb a ladder.
There are many uses for which a stout corduroy is really worth more than the finest silk.
A stout corduroy is the finest silk.
People are fabric when you think about it.
People are fabric.
People are just fabrics.
People are fabric.
When you're fabric.
I mean, yeah, there's...
What kind of fabric would we be?
Let's pivot.
Me, I would be like what I'm wearing right now, a soccer jersey, synthetic material that stinks the second you have one drop of sweat in it.
I'm a swishy.
What's a swishy?
It's like swishy pants.
I'm a swishy material.
Oh, like jogging style, like old jog suits?
No, like pants that you wear when you're insecure.
Like the suits you're wearing right now?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
What is that?
Like that fabric.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, so you're also a synthetic gang, nylon gang? Yeah, yeah, yeah. What is that? Like that fabric. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so you're also
a synthetic gang,
nylon gang.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What about you?
Are you organic or synthetic?
That's really what
it boils down to.
I think I would be
like fake leather
because I want to think
I'm tough, but really
I'm really soft
and I don't want
to kill anything.
And you were made
in the lab.
Yeah.
And I was made
by scientists.
Or I'd be like mesh
because I'm like
incredibly...
I'm just like
I have no
like it looks hard
and like tough
but really you can see
right through me.
Oh no.
I don't think
mesh has ever looked tough
full disclosure.
Well I think it's like
a guy in a mesh marina.
I mean like
I imagine it as like
some type of like
like not tough
but like more like
like cool fashion or whatever, you know?
Yeah.
I don't know.
But still transparent.
A fabric for all seasons.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's very telling.
Probably pleather, honestly.
This could be a really good psychological test.
I like this.
What fabric are you talking about?
He has, he's not useless after all.
Anna, what fabric are you?
People are fabric.
People are fabric.
Anna says she's microfiber.
Whoa.
That's smart.
Gets it done.
That's just good business.
If someone ever answers wool, I think they're a serial killer.
Wait, unpack that.
Unpack that.
Why wool?
Wool's great.
It's itchy and awful.
Yeah, if you react to wool like that.
Like if someone's like, my favorite thing to touch is wool.
You're on a date. What are you like my favorite thing to touch is wool. You're on a date?
What are you like? I like to touch
wool. Okay, I'm gonna use the
restroom. Or like the flesh
of an animal or whatever.
That's not a fabric.
No, meat fabric.
Hey, what fabric are you? Meat.
What's the one that's like really like straggly
and like very like... Oh, itchy.
It's like supposed to be like fancy, but I think it looks stupid.
Oh, fuck.
You know what I'm talking about, right?
Yes.
Because that shit can't afford it.
It like unthreads all the time.
Yeah.
I think it looks so dumb, but it's so fucking like revered as like an expensive shit.
Mo hair?
Mo hair.
That's what it is.
Yes.
Mo hair.
Fucking mo hair.
I hate mo hair.
Yeah. I wish I had mo hair. It creeps me out. Iair. I hate Mohair. Yeah.
I wish I had Mohair.
It creeps me out.
I think it kind of creeps me out.
Yeah.
It's kind of similar to that phobia of holes or whatever, but with-
To me-
But not with mesh.
I feel like I have glaucoma when I look at Mohair's sweater, because I'm like, is it
blurry?
Am I not picking up on the texture?
Mohair kind of looks like unshaved mesh if you
like shaved mohair unshaved mesh that's the name that's my memoir time oh yeah dude that oh my god
jamie loft is story by lil zam forward by lil zam yeah if someone answers wool or mohair
run wow they're trying to prove something but it it's unclear what. Yeah. Also, I feel like mohair, every time I've seen it, like, or gotten near it, the shit
gets on you.
Yeah.
It shits.
I don't understand why it's so expensive and, like, supposed to be, like, this fancy thing.
Because it looks, first of all, I think it looks stupid.
And also, yeah, it gets everywhere.
Hey, if you're a mohair advocate, please reach out.
Because I would like to know what's going on with that.
I can't wait to read the intense thread on the hair defense.
It's from an Angoran goat.
Well, that's the other thing.
I guess I don't like animal products like that.
So I think it freaks me out to wear something and be like,
this used to be alive.
So I'm just like, maybe that's why I also don't like it.
Well, at least wool is a shaved off, you know,
at least you didn't have to kill it.
Shave culture.
Yeah.
Shave culture is really, yeah, I think we can comfortably say it's like a high shave culture yeah shave culture is really yeah i think it's i think
we can comfortably say it's getting out of hand it's i think that shave culture is really getting
out of control yeah who will you side with yeah are you i'm i stand with the unshaved yeah i mean
if i said i didn't i would be like an unfeminist at this point fantastic well we've settled it

I'm Keri 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.

when President Gerald Ford faced two attempts on his life
in less than three weeks.
President Gerald R. Ford came stunningly close
to being the victim of an assassin today.
And these are the only two times we know of
that a woman has tried to assassinate a US president.
One was the protege of infamous cult leader Charles Manson.
I always felt like Lynette was kind of his right-hand woman.
The other, a middle-aged housewife working undercover for the FBI
in a violent revolutionary underground.
Identified by police as Sarah Jean Moore.
The story of one strange and violent summer.
This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every thursday
listen on the iheart radio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts
and we're back uh what is a myth what's something people think is true you know to be false
um the last time i said that milk is good for you that was a really good
one that was a really good one okay so what is one uh oh you know what and uh everybody thinks
that everyone's hair is real on tv everyone has on a fucking wig everyone has on a fucking wig
from the guys to the girls right if you watch the right. If you watch the news every night, all of them got wigs on.
Really?
Yes.
Every single person.
Call out some news wigs right now.
Honey, like Kelly Ripa.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, like Diane Sawyer.
That's an easy one.
That looks like a helmet.
Sorry, girl.
Anyway.
Is that true?
Yeah, no.
Everybody has a fucking wig on.
And I didn't know until I got into wig culture, which is TV.
It's good for continuity.
Right.
Yeah, because if you have to reshoot or if you have to refilm something, bitch, she's sitting right over there.
Like, oh, good.
Oh, okay, got it.
Fit it on.
All right, get the makeup done.
And guess what?
You have no idea.
We shot this two weeks later.
Sure, sure, sure.
Because it is the exact same hairstyle sprayed into place.
Right, right, right.
And so, yeah, they call it news hair.
Honey, they are literally, one of my favorite quotes is from Dolly Parton.
And someone said, how long does it take to do your hair?
She said, I don't know.
I'm never in the room when they're doing it.
I was like, bitch, you better work.
There you go.
Fucking Dolly Parton.
Yeah, she was outing that shit in the 80s.
She's like, I'm here to tell you, these are wigs.
Ain't nobody wearing their real hair because you would damage the fuck out of your hair.
Also, do you think I have this much fucking hair?
It's so much hair.
Call the fucking CDC or something.
Exactly.
There might be medical secrets contained in this scalp.
Exactly.
I'm like, yo, I know her neck hurts.
Oh my God.
If she has to sleep with that on, absolutely not.
So many parts of her must hurt.
Yeah, exactly.
Her back for sure.
Oh my God.
What does her hair actually look like
just like
close cropped
look
we don't need to know
you know
right
just Dolly
do whatever you gotta do
I don't care what your tattoos are
I don't care what your wigs are
just
keep Dolly
keep being Dolly
keep doing it
but yeah
wigs
everyone's got a fucking wig on
and if you don't believe me
oh like Nicole Kidman
in Big Little Lies
that was
that was wig little lies. That was my God.
That was wig little lies.
That is the most clocky wig.
I was like,
girl,
if they don't give you all a budget next season,
you need to call my guy.
That was the first time that I noticed it.
Like,
yeah,
that was like,
yeah.
When that second season came around,
we were both like,
Oh yeah.
I think everybody's wearing a wig.
And we're like,
it was that bad.
Two straight men. We're like, yeah, I think it's wigs. Exactly. Like. And we're like, it was that bad. Two straight men.
We're like, I think it's wigs.
Exactly.
Like, where is her hairline?
It starts from nowhere.
What's her name?
The one from The Descendants who had Ziggy?
Shailene Woodley.
Yeah, Shailene Woodley.
Shailene Woodley's was pretty offensive. That's two days Shailene Woodley's was... That's two days in a row where...
Offensive.
Two shows in a row where there's been a thing on the tip of our tongue that I know the listeners
were probably screaming, going, Shailene Woodley.
Shailene Woodley.
Why don't you know that?
It's mohair.
They're talking about mohair.
What are you talking about?
I said it the second I thought about it without a pause.
The magic of editing.
Boom.
Work.
All right, let's check in real quick with Uber before we get into all this whistleblowing
shit.
You know, they've not had a great track record with safety for passengers. Let's check in real quick with Uber before we get into all this whistleblowing shit.
They've not had a great track record with safety for passengers.
And that was a big thing they've had to overcome with the new leadership that they had as the leadership changed.
And by overcome, do you mean hide from the public?
Yes, probably. And the first step, they had the safety kit where you could like report a driver call for help and things like that.
And then there's a new feature called Ride Check that would know if like you got in a car wreck or maybe there's been a very long stop for some reason.
But look, don't make it hot for people who are trapping out of an Uber, okay?
Yeah.
Everyone has to make their money.
Having sex with their driver.
Yeah, please.
What, do you want to crash while we have sex?
Everyone has to make their money. Having sex with their driver.
Yeah, please.
What, do you want to crash while we have sex?
So now there is a developer based in Hong Kong
has like this rep of like reverse engineering apps
to like look at what's in the code to be like,
because people will hide shit in the app
that we might not see as the consumers,
but that functionality is there
for people who are developing
and found something recently
that there is a new audio recording tool inside the Uber app.
Like a black box for Uber?
I was going to say, it's like a plane.
Well, it's part of that safety toolkit, which makes people think it's like,
okay, so they're not trying to do cheeky shit to be like,
okay, record everyone's messy ass Uber ride in case they're saying wild shit.
But right now, Uber hasn't really said anything on it,
but it seems to be like a way that they it would allow drivers to like if your drivers or passengers if the driver's like being creepy out of pocket
whatever abusive you could actually begin recording maybe unbeknownst to them but it could
essentially possibly have a live connection to some uber safety center where they can monitor it
send help or you just have receipts later on when you're like, okay, you don't believe me?
Like, here it goes.
Right.
I can't believe there are that many predators out there.
I'm just trying to get a ride to the club.
Right, right.
It's so weird.
Yeah.
I wonder if it leaves it on your phone or if it immediately uploads it to Uber.
They're like, okay, we have that now.
And thank you.
Thank you.
We'll be dealing with this.
And they're like, actually, we can't do anything because that's a non-employee employee contractor right exactly with rights or it's just an automaton
but with human skin i mean i've what i've wished i had been recording when i was in an uber before
but only because the person was the most high on cocaine human being that has ever like spoken for
without a punctuation for like 45 minutes straight. 45 minute run on sentence.
Yeah.
Just like,
wow.
I mean,
where were you going about their career as a actor?
I think it was going to the Valley from,
uh,
not the Valley.
In their defense.
That's kind of just actors.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They cannot wait to talk about them.
I'm sorry.
Actors are the most obnoxious people.
I'm calling all y'all out because I'm not really an actor.
I do acting gigs.
Anyway.
There you go.
I know because-
You're an artist.
Exactly.
So I'm an entertainer.
Yes.
I'm here to entertain you.
Yeah, but actors, when you meet like these diehard actors, they are so, like they think
everyone wants to see their one man show.
Right.
And I'm like, no one gives a fuck.
A lot of one man shows going around.
But I know animated
actor who's excited by their own narcissism and cocaine and this is definitely like sweaty
did you say that is a fine line was it one of those things because sometimes you know an uber
driver will hit you with a solo like of their life story like sometimes it's unprovoked sometimes
they find an in right where they like what do do? And you might have said something about comedy.
And they're like, oh, man, I love comedy, man.
Because actually I was just up for this audition, man.
Right, right.
Yeah.
Fuck, man.
You got any water back there?
You're driving.
It's like four in the afternoon.
It's like, what the fuck?
Look, I make sure everybody knows what I do whenever I get into a car with a driver.
You go.
I'm pretty sure I didn't say anything.
So the first thing you do,
five minutes into a ride,
and no one says anything, you go,
huh, so you're not a fan, huh?
I'm sorry?
It's me, Jack O'Brien.
Okay, put it.
I cannot.
Do you, man.
Do you.
I love how you're playing it cool,
but it's okay.
Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty chill, actually, man.
I'm a regular dude, man. No, too many people want favors in this town. I'm always mean, I'm pretty chill actually, man. I'm a regular dude, man.
Too many people want favors in this town.
I'm always like, I work at a library.
I don't tell anybody.
Yeah, because they're just like,
oh, you hook me up.
I'm like, ew.
Right.
Yeah.
What is a myth?
Oh, yeah.
Okay, so this kind of ties into the stuff with the Joker.
It's a myth that Heath Ledger was like all,
like went way too
into that character that he
like stayed in character the entirety
of the filming of The Dark Knight and that like
he lost all his self-interest. None of that's
true. Where is that born out of?
Cracked?
I think we wrote that one.
Whoops.
I think it was in general like after he died
especially and like after everybody saw how good
the performance was they just like these myths
started that he had like gotten way too into the character
and a bunch of people were like
well Jack Nicholson came out and was like
I warned him that the Joker would take him down
oh so I wonder if that fed this thing
that because Jack Nicholson said he warned him
that in fact the curse of the Joker
is true or some shit
and there's like there's pictures of him just like posing when he's like he's like in makeup and stuff but like smiling with other curse of the Joker is true or some shit? And there's pictures of him just posing when he's in makeup and stuff,
but smiling with other members of the cast and looking like a normal person.
There's pictures of him out of makeup eating dinner with everybody during the filming.
I forget which one of his co-stars said that,
no, in between shots we would talk about his kids and stuff.
Not Ledger's, I think, but the actors.
And the people who were actually on set with him, his like kids and stuff. Right. Not Ledger's I think but like the actors. And like I did
from the people
who were actually on set with him
like there was no hint
that like he had gotten
like the actual story
seems to be
like definitely
in the wake of his death
it was framed as like
oh he got way too
into this character
and just broke him
and that's why he wound up ODing.
And the reality seems to be
no he just had a drug problem
and he overdosed
and it's a tragedy
but like it had nothing to do
with him playing the Joker and it taking over his mind.
Right.
Yeah.
I mean, so I think the stuff we wrote about on Cracked was that he like for research in the role, he like holed up in a hotel room for part of the time and like did like a bunch of like got into the character and was like scribbling weird shit.
Oh, yeah. I was definitely getting into character my entire time in college. did like a bunch of like got into the character and was like scribbling weird shit oh yeah i was
definitely getting into character my entire time in college yeah i just don't think like he wasn't
like he seems like everyone who ever worked with him said he was like a great guy to work with and
a great guy to work with wouldn't be like yeah staying in the character of a murderous clown
where should we eat he's like i don't know you're like oh dude please
and if you break another pool cue.
Burns the craft services table down.
Why are you still in that nurse's outfit?
Well, all right.
I was actually curious.
You were one of the rare people who actually put answers next to the categories on the page.
And your myth was cars originally.
It seems so broad.
Yeah, I decided I didn't want to get into that here, but I do have a conspiracy theory
about-
That cars don't exist.
Yep.
Right.
Interesting.
Yep.
And only horses do.
You never seen a car and a horse in the same place at the same time?
All right, man.
I don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
All right, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be back.

This is Rip Current, available now with new episodes every thursday listen on the iheart radio
app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts
and we're back let's talk about uh something equally terrifying the official duncan donuts
halloween costume oh i love this wait there's a duncan
they nailed it what the fuck is a dunk you as a donut right so we talked uh previously about how
their taco bell is putting out halloween costumes uh food-based clothing is is the wave right now
fast food fast food-based clothing uh and duncan donuts decided to join the halloween costume with
so that you know there's a uh a saying that we have in these parts america runs on duncan
and uh the way they express this is outline of the united states uh outline of man running
and then duncan clever oh america run on and then it's above duncan
america run duncan i wonder how many hundreds of thousands of dollars that ad campaign cost
to put together right so how do we know the tents based on those images right they could be run
run yeah running america run it could be duncan that would suggest that america that duncan donuts is run by a popular
like popular vote but from right right i mean it could also just looking at the image it could also
suggest that america reenacts the ministry of silly walk sketch from monty python uh over duncan
yeah yeah it looks like the person could be falling down while trying to do a yoga pose.
Yeah.
But.
Or Superman. Or Superman.
They've decided that they want to, the yellow, or the pink stick finger is how they decided
to turn the concept of Duncan into a Halloween costume.
And it is basically like that it's charlie day but in
yeah from always sunny but in a pink costume instead of a green one yeah and apparently
there's a uh rubber man from season one of american horror story that is just a person
in like a full black rubber full full body, full face black rubber.
Like gimp suit?
Gimp suit, essentially.
And this is the pink version of that.
It's such a dumb, it has, in my, I mean, you must really be a Dunkin' Donuts fan.
I'm sure Jamie Loftus would know the significance of this.
But if I saw it, I'd be like, what the, so people are now pink man?
Like we're off green man now?
Yeah, it's a terrible idea in every conceivable way.
And the only thing that gives me comfort is knowing that the people responsible for this idea make more money than, say, nurses.
Or teachers, right?
Or teachers.
Oh, so much more.
You could run two or three schools.
And they're succeeding by us covering it.
They are?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, I mean.
I didn't say they didn't earn every dime, Jack.
Yeah.
Every penny.
For sure.
Apparently also community did a thing.
And all of the pop culture references where they do this are a reference to how creepy it is.
Yeah.
Well, you know, good luck to Dunkin'.
I think a donut maybe would have been a better idea or a food item.
Oh, they don't play up the donuts part.
That's why they're just Dunkin' now.
They're just Dunkin', man.
We do a lot, man.
We got dippies, stickies, and sandies.
Miles, you're not thinking outside of the donut box.
Yeah.
Okay.
You guys want to hear what I would have done as the ad campaign?
Of course I want to know what kind of idea you have about this.
Just a black poster
with red letters, Starbucks coffee
smells like cat piss.
Wow. No other branding.
Just straight up going to that. Just an attack on
Starbucks. Yeah, just an attack on Starbucks.
And eventually people figured out for themselves
who's funding this campaign. Do you believe
that Starbucks? Yeah, I think it
smells like cat piss. Do you believe in
life after love? Yes. I don't know why. I can feel something inside? Yeah, I think it smells like cat piss. I don't like Starbucks coffee. Do you believe in life after love?
Yes.
I don't know why.
I can feel something inside me say,
I really don't,
I don't think you're strong enough.
Okay.
Oh,
and I know that I can do this.
But,
back to the cat piss thing.
Is it,
is it all,
is it just their drip coffee?
I don't really get coffee.
I only get their,
I only get drip coffee.
I don't,
I don't like the mixes,
but they're drip coffee.
So you're a Dunkin' Man,
huh?
There's like a tartness to it that reminds me of drinking cat piss.
If I'm going to pick coffee from like a big chain that's everywhere,
I will pick Dunkin' ahead of Starbucks all the time.
I'll pick Pete's ahead of Dunkin'.
Obviously, Phil's is the best of the chains that we have access to here on the West Coast.
Is that right?
Because they do a decent Turkish.
Yeah, yeah.
It's not actually Jesva coffee, but they put a little bit of cardamom in it and some mint.
Whoa.
Nails it.
What is that?
What is a Turkish?
Turkish coffee?
Well, like actual Turkish coffee is usually made in this weird pot.
Jack, does Turkish mean butt to you?
No.
I was just curious what a Turkish was.
It's like, yeah, like they have a special type of pot that they make it in,
but also Turkish and Arabic coffee often includes cardamom,
which is really good in a black coffee.
So they spice up your life.
And sometimes a little bit of mint or something.
If you get a Sarajevo coffee, it's a Turkish coffee served with a cigarette,
which is...
Really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like what, they'll give you a loosey with it?
Yeah, if you go into the Balkans, yeah,
they'll give you a fucking cigarette with your jet pack.
One loose cigarette with your coffee., if you go into the Balkans, yeah, they'll give you a fucking cigarette with your jet
One loose cigarette with your coffee.
Yeah, if that's a Sarajevo coffee.
But if you're like, give me Sarajevo, then if you don't say give me Sarajevo, there's
no-
No, it'll say it on the menu, Sarajevo coffee.
That's how I figured it out.
I was like, oh, I've tried a lot of coffees.
I'll try a Sarajevo coffee.
It was just Turkish coffee with a cigarette on the plate.
Was it lit?
Like somebody had smoked part of it?
But Home Dude popped a lighter out as soon as I set the thing down.
He knew I wanted it.
Damn.
Well, fuck.
They didn't write about that in Zlata's diary.
Go to the Balkans, yo.
Did y'all have to read that book?
No.
Zlata's diary back in the 90s?
That was about like she was growing up in Sarajevo?
No.
Oh, man.
Did anything bad happen there at some point?
I don't know.
I didn't read it.
Yeah, I've only read the history of Bosnia from like 1998
to present and it seems like a pretty smooth ride.
Yeah, from what I have. If we bury our heads in the sands
like we do in the American. In the American.
See, I need my Dunkin'.
Is Pete's the most caffeinated coffee
of the chains?
I think I read that somewhere. Really? Is that even a thing?
Are they flexing on each other with their
caffeine count? No, you have to like look
at the website Caffeine Informer.
Pete's is acceptable coffee.
Wait, the website Caffeine Informer?
Is that a real fucking thing?
Jack, you just changed my life.
Hold on.
Caffeine Informer.
Y'all don't know about Caffeine Informer?
You know Slammy Slammy Yum, though.
I'm trying to get jittery now.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, Caffeine Informer is great.
Caribou Coffee, the complete caffeine.
Well, this is
i'm gonna have to cancel our recording sessions for the rest of the day yeah just to look at
caffeine informer yeah duncan donuts coffee caffeine content guide damn caribou is very
caffeinated yeah also tastes similar to duncan so maybe duncan's more caffeinated than i thought
oh they're really out here like ranking this. They are. Yeah, they do the milligrams and everything.
They have a whole chart if you're like,
hey, if you want La Cologne.
I've never talked about Caffeine Informer on podcasts.
No, you haven't.
You're hiding a child from us, Jack.
You're hiding a child.
Okay, Drake of caffeine.
Could we just turn this website into a podcast?
You are hiding a child.
Damn, dude.
The large caribou brood coffee, 385 milligrams of caffeine.
That's a lot of caffeine.
Is that a lot?
That is a substantial amount.
So for some comparison, the large for a brood of Duncan's is just 300.
That means that a caribou coffee large has more than a Duncan extra large of brood coffee.
Oh, okay.
Damn, son.
Where'd you find those?
Caffeine Informer.
And finally, big news in my world,
the world of Caffeine Informer,
my number one website.
Caffeine Informer.
You know it's now I'm a player. Come on, sir. Iaffeine and pharma. You know, I'm a player.
I get the jitters now.
So the energy drink game is about to have another player join the game.
Coca-Cola, ever heard of them?
Also owner of Monster Energy.
Yeah, they're like a huge stakeholder.
I don't think they fully own it, but they have a big old chunk of it.
So apparently they are getting a little insecure about the fact that they don't have a hyper-caffeinated sugar beverage on the market.
Yeah.
So we're getting what's called energy.
Coke energy.
Coke energy. Coke energy.
Regular flavor, cherry, zero sugar, and zero sugar cherry.
Is it spelled weird?
Nope, just straight up.
It's not like an RG.
It really seems like they're going for a very stripped down,
almost like communist aesthetic, where it's just like energy, zero sugar.
Do you want pleasure or energy?
Right.
I would like the one for fun
socializing.
Yeah.
As we were talking about,
this is not that much caffeine.
Right. That's the first thing I asked you
because I read it and I'm like, well, what's in it?
Guarana extracts.
Guarana. I'm sorry. Guarana
extracts, B vitamins vitamins and 114 milligrams
of caffeine and is that not a lot it's not i mean 200 is like your average cup of coffee
oh really uh diet coke is like 60 so i mean it's it's more than most sodas but jolt yeah jolt is
like in the high hundreds maybe but it's But it's not as much as a cup of
coffee. Coffee is king
when it comes to caffeine delivery.
Whoa, whoa, okay. Coffee and... Sit down,
Jack. Wow. Sorry, guys.
He's on the table. Tom cruising it right now.
Because what,
a huge... Look, guys, I'm pretty high right now.
What was the deal? Like a grande cup of Starbucks
coffee had like nine
330 milligrams? Yeah, 330 milligrams how many grams of sugar
in that energy though that's my other i mean you're gonna crash baby yeah that's the thing
that's what's also good about coffee is that you don't need to put sugar in it so therefore
it doesn't have the sugar crash at the end of it as opposed to monster energy jack i think you like
coffee i know some people like get added energy from sugar.
I personally don't.
And in fact, it fucks with my energy a little bit.
So I prefer a non-sugary caffeine delivery mechanism.
Like coffee.
Like coffee.
I'm trying to figure out what my beloved Kirk Siggy cold brew has.
Yeah, it didn't show up on Informer.
Caffeine Informer, I know you're listening and that you're one person.
Please let us know what Kirkland's signature cold brew is, caffeine delivery was.
Dumbout, whatever it is, it's working.
Yeah.
That's all I'm at.
Also, shout out to somebody on Instagram who messaged me again. I get a lot of insider information from Instagram, just like how I had the scoop on the breading
for Popeye's chicken sandwiches.
Shout out to you.
Did you have one?
Yeah.
What was it?
Good?
Oh, it was delicious.
I've heard it's phenomenal.
Fantastic.
Shout out to Logan on Instagram who just said, yo, I'm meeting with Costco buyers.
Costco, Kirkland Signature cold brew may have low supplies, but are not going away in spite of rumors.
So, yes.
So we bought that pallet of cold brew for no reason?
Shit, it's almost gone.
Is it really?

You're putting a dent.
Yeah.
All right.
Love it.
