Hello, the Internet, and welcome to Season 7, Episode 3 of the or wherever you get your podcasts. People don't know about that. And I'm joined by my co-host, who wrote that, a.k.a. Mr. Miles Gray. That's right. It's your boy Armin Tanzarian, a.k.a. Principal Spinner, because I'm nice with the fidgets. And we're thrilled to be joined by our, now, I think we could just call her sometimes co-host,
Starting point is 00:02:40 the hilarious stand-up comedian, Jamie Loftus. Hello! There she is. Jay Log. What is this, five? This is five. Number five? This is five.
Starting point is 00:02:48 We're going to just stop counting. Once we get to ten, then you'll have too many rings on. Double-digit. I need more fingers for more rings. Exactly. Let them know. Like the heat. But Jack, people don't know about you and the listicles.
Starting point is 00:03:01 I did not invent the listicle. Okay, who was fucking with the listicle? I just made it great. Oh, see, what a modest guy he is. I didn't invent it. I just mastered the listicle. I mean, like, every media company relies on the listicle to get clicks. So, I mean, like, you are...
Starting point is 00:03:17 No, there were plenty of listicles before. You're not even Trick Daddy. You're Click Daddy. Start using listicles. Okay, okay, Mr. Modest Mouse. Jamie, what is something that you've searched in the not too distant past that you believe is revealing about who you are as a human being? Okay. Well, I rewatched Casper 1995 last night, which prompted the following searches.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Bill Pullman hot. As a question? No, I just wanted to see if there was any comprehensive image collections of Bill Pullman hot. As a question? No, I just wanted to see if there was any comprehensive image collections of Bill Pullman hot. Like a Pinterest board. Like lifting weights with his shirt off or something? A lot of people think Bill Pullman's hot, it turns out. Bill Pullman hot, Bill Pullman ghost, because the CGI ghost of Bill Pullman that briefly appears in Casper 1995 is nothing short of horrifying.
Starting point is 00:04:05 Also, somehow manages to take a flannel into the afterlife with him. And then finally, Bill Pullman on Bill Paxton, because I want to know, because people mix them up. People like I feel like there's a good 20 percent of people that think that Bill Pullman is dead and not Bill Paxton. Did he release a clarification statement? Did he say, I wish it had been me? What did he say? He said nothing. He said nothing.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Oh, really? He was silent on it? He was silent on the issue. His silence is deafening. I know. Coleman, we get it. Also, rest in power to the God, Bill Paxton. Dude, Bill Paxton is the best.
Starting point is 00:04:42 One of my favorites, Coconut Pete in Broken Lizards Club. That's a Paxton deep cut. That's a deep cut. I just rewatched Paxton in Nightcrawler. So good. He's great. He's a, yeah. What does he play in Nightcrawler?
Starting point is 00:04:56 He plays Jake Gyllenhaal's enemy who always is like, hey, work with me. And then Jake Gyllenhaal films him when he gets killed. Oh, right. Yeah. That's Jake Gyllenhaal films him when he gets killed. Oh, right, right, right. Yeah, that's a gnarly movie. Yeah. But yeah, Paxton's the god. Bill Pullman, however, we have to hand it to him. In 1995, he was hot.
Starting point is 00:05:15 Pullman is the president from Independence Day. I always need somebody to say that to me so that I know which one he is. Uh-huh. So Pullman, president. And I mean then yeah paxton true lies true lies yeah you're gonna shoot me well paxton titanic yeah paxton titanic twister all that there used to be a video of bill paxton uh in like the twister ride at universal like one of those intro videos he'd be like hi i'm bill paxton what you're about star of twister what you're about
Starting point is 00:05:45 to witness is a twister simulation and then it's like the worst ride of your entire life oh was it wait is that at universal in orlando yeah yeah it's a really i don't even know if it's there it's probably akin to like what the backdraft ride was out here which wasn't a ride it was just like stand on this uh like metal floor and then a bunch of shit is gonna be on fire in front of you and then you leave. And then you leave. Yeah. My favorite roller coaster intro video ever is the old one to the mummy where it's Brendan Fraser. He'd be like, hey, this is Brendan Fraser.
Starting point is 00:06:16 Just that frenetic, psychotic energy he has. He's like, you're about to go on the wildest ride of your life. And then at the end he's like, whew, that was fun. Remember to take your stuff and unbuckle. I love it. Oh, Brendan. What a strange form that the like roller coaster intro video where someone at some point decided, no, we're going to pretend like you are actually you. You're not your character from the movie that we're simulating. You are yourself. And then but then you are telling them that they're about to go on an adventure.
Starting point is 00:06:43 So like the decision to suspend disbelief in one very specific place. For a ride that is so fantastic. Like, we're not going to go whole hog. It's like the animatronic Indiana Jones on the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland. It's like, hi, I'm Harrison Ford. Guys, get the fuck out of here. Guys, this is pretty. I think the most perfect version of that is, and also the most baffling roller coaster possible,
Starting point is 00:07:05 is the Aerosmith roller coaster at Disney World in Florida. What? There is an Aerosmith roller coaster. And the intro video, Stephen Tyler, like current Stephen Tyler, is like, Guys, it's Stephen Tyler. From Aerosmith. From Aerosmith. Here's Joe Perry, the guitarist.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Joe the guitarist Perry, as he's known in the band. And he's like, do you want to drive our tour bus? And then it goes, wow! And then you go in. It's great. Buckle up for more twists and turns than my toenails. That's a deep cut for Daily Zeitgeist. Long time listeners. Long times. Steven Tyler has fucked up toes. Really bad feet. That's a deep cut for Daily Zeitgeist.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Long time listeners. Long times. Steven Tyler has fucked up toes. I didn't know that. Yeah, the tabloids. There was one that was just harping on how bad his feet are. The voids? His feet look like hobbit feet. And it is my favorite joke that we've had on the Daily Zeitgeist.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Miles said his toes look like they're throwing up gang signs. I don't know what set he's claiming, but we'll find out. Jamie, what's something that's overrated in your opinion? Overrated right now, the Jim and Andy documentary on Netflix, Don't Care For It. So what is this documentary about? So the documentary is basically dredging up all this old footage of Jim Carrey method acting not assing. More like method assing. Sick burn, Jamie.
Starting point is 00:08:29 So it's like all this behind the scenes footage of him method acting as Andy Kaufman during the filming of Man on the Moon, which I think came out in like 99? But it's all like, it's Jim Carrey just getting, being a real jerk. There's a lot of great shots of the crew of the movie just being like, this is like not necessary.
Starting point is 00:08:48 And he's, you know, he's like walking around, he's doing the Tony Clifton character. And then there's a lot of interviews with Jim Carrey at present just saying like, I don't believe in free will. And then like a soft piano bed like,im carrey doesn't believe in free will i'm gonna have to check that out oh because i'm a jim carrey fan i'm a like jim carrey was one of my favorite things growing up like on a living color and then east ventura yeah but he lost me immediately when i was like 11 and he ruined a series of unfortunate events just a bullet like ruined it and then wow that just made me feel real old. I was way out of college, and I was like, I'm 14 years old.
Starting point is 00:09:29 I'm 14 years old. You're the smartest. That's why we have you. You're one of the most intelligent 14-year-olds we've ever met. I'm a little boy genius. Whiz kid, Jamie Loftus, is here with us again. I'm basically Jimmy Neutron. Jimmy Neutron.
Starting point is 00:09:40 I'm a little Jamie Neutron. That's great. I'm Jimmy Neutron's little sister. But yeah, it sucks. It's just him being super pretentious. I think you said that at one point he says that Andy tapped him on the shoulder and said, I'll take it from here. Oh, yeah. He's like, and he's like, and so and then that whole stupid method acting thing where they'll call him and he'll be like, Jim's gone.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Jim's not here. And it's like, Jim, like we what is your shoe size? And he's like, well, I guess it's more of a question of what Andy's shoe size, you know. Fuck off. I don't know. I just I can't get on board with Jim Carrey. And maybe it's just because he was such a bad count all off. But God damn it.
Starting point is 00:10:20 What's something that you think is underrated? Oh, Casper 1995. Casper 95. Starring Christina Ricci. Starring Christina, little goth teen icon Christina Ricci. Yes. Falling in love with a bulbous-headed ghost. Brad Garrett plays a fat ghost.
Starting point is 00:10:38 That rules. Eric Idle phones it in. Bill Pullman hot. It's a fun one and i i cry every like okay so you ever like watch a movie when you were like and when you're little you're like oh my gosh this person's so cute and i have a crush on them and then you re-watch it as an adult and you're like oh that's a literal child yeah i had that moment where they're at the end of casper casper comes to life for a second and i used to be like oh my god he's so like jonathan taylor thomas like style beautiful and then last night i was
Starting point is 00:11:11 like oh that is an 11 year old boy and i was getting pretty horny for watching the scene that is just an 11 year old boy now pre-horny? Pre-horny is just the anticipation of, I know cute Casper's coming up soon. And I was getting pre-horny. I was already post-horny for Bill Pullman because he's hot. Actively horny, right. That's how I know I'm a woman now is I'm horny for Bill Pullman and Casper. Right, right, right. And not for Casper.
Starting point is 00:11:43 That's like when I used to be in love with Natalie Portman in The Professional. Yeah. Ooh, yeah. And then you get older and then you're like, wait, hold up. And then this movie's creepy as fuck. This dude is in love with her. Yeah. Well, also, when you look at the deleted scenes from like the international version where
Starting point is 00:11:55 like they're going on dates and shit. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. There's like a moment where they're just on a date. Kind of. Hey, you're not above it, America. American beauty. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:12:05 You're not above it. God. I think. Yeah, exactly. You're not above it. God. I think people know you by now, Jamie. Yeah. And if they don't, I don't know what to say. Get to know me. I'm 14. All right, let's get into the format.
Starting point is 00:12:16 We're trying to take a sample of the ideas that are out there, changing the world, whether you're looking or not. We talk about politics, our president, and the news, but we also talk about movies and supermarket tabloids. And, yeah, we're trying to take a temperature of what's affecting the national shared consciousness, which sounds a little more hippie-ish than we actually are. But let's get into it. And one of the ways we'd like to open is by asking our guest if there is a myth, something that is believed by that national shared consciousness that you think is incorrect based on your life experience.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Well, my myth today is perhaps a little more specific, but it's based on everyone I've told this does not believe me, which is that my my screenplay, Santa University, is really bad. It's a myth I've been trying to bust for years. Right. Santa University. Santa University. OK, go on. I'm intrigued. It's OK.
Starting point is 00:13:17 OK. Here it is. Santa University is a movie about a university full of Santas. But they're young. They're like teen Santas, but they're young. They're like teen Santas. They got big dreams. They want to be the real Santa. But it's also a very competitive environment
Starting point is 00:13:32 because there can only be one Santa. Oh, interesting. So by the end of the year, all the Santas have to die except for one. So it's actually a pretty intense... They have to die? Yeah. It's a very violent movie.
Starting point is 00:13:44 So it's like Hunger Games mixed with Harry Potter. It's like a school with classic Santa mythology. It's a musical. It stars a young Santa named Dan Santa. He's majoring in Santa at Santa University along
Starting point is 00:14:02 with everyone else at Santa University. And you're not just making this up as you go along right now? No, no, no. I have record of making this up as early as 2012. Wow. It's been being workshopped. Super producer Anna Hosnia is nodding. She's aware of this.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Is this script fully written? No, no. Wait, does it have an outline? You know, it's in various Evernotes.'s in various Evernotes from the past five years. I know how some of the songs go. It would be great if we could do a reading of Santa University as maybe a Christmas episode. That would be beautiful. I mean, it's a beautiful story.
Starting point is 00:14:39 There's a song called The Perfect Santa. It's a bit of a ballad sung in the cafeteria while the Santas are lunging. They're knifing each other. The Santas are dying. Okay. Well, what is it? That is a myth that has been busted. Give it.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Give us the movie poster for Santa. What does that look like? Oh, Sandy. So, of course, Dan Santa's front and center. Dan Santa is the greatest character name of all time. Is he just like a ripped hot dude or is he like more of a G underdog type he's an underdog santa young giamatti there's a part in the beginning where where santa's girlfriend from high school breaks up with him because she's like i don't believe in santa and everyone's like haha it's a double mean it's a fun movie does he have a meet cute
Starting point is 00:15:19 in it at some point uh well he falls in love with the with with I think it's I think it's Sarah Santa, who is the daughter of the dean. But she's in a relationship with Cool Santa, who's the captain of the team. And his first name is Cool? Cool. Yeah. Cool Santa. OK. And then Dan Santa's roommate, Goth Santa, is going to be on the poster as well. He's a bit of a fun B character.
Starting point is 00:15:43 There's the elves that want to start a punk rock band. They're going to be on the poster as well. He's a bit of a fun B character. There's the elves that want to start a punk rock band. They're going to be on the poster as well. They start a lot of the musical numbers. To be honest, this seems more like a series to me. This seems like there's just too much meat on the bone. You can stretch this out over a few seasons. Extended universe. Yeah, I mean, like, okay, I like this.
Starting point is 00:16:00 Cool. Myth busted. You sold it in the room. It's good. I'm in. All all right let's get into uh the stories uh and really it's basically a story that uh has been dominating the news for past couple weeks uh we've called it any number of things a sex crim watch or men gazi Or Mengazi. Mengazi. Sucks crumbs. Yeah, sucks crumbs. But yeah, so not too much.
Starting point is 00:16:32 There hasn't been any bombshells of new people added to the list. Except for Nick Carter. Oh, Nick Carter. Wait, that was real? That was on TMZ. God, damn it. He's a member of, is he from the- He's the famous member of that meth family. Oh, the meth family.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Aaron Carter. He's the king. He's basically the member of that meth family. Oh, fuck. Aaron Carter. He's the king. He's basically the king of meth. Oh, God. Nick Carter. He was so cute. Yeah. Was it that he raped someone or attempted to rape someone?
Starting point is 00:16:55 He did rape someone. Yeah. Today in Hollywood harassment, Nick Carter denies rape. You sound very distraught over that one. I loved the Backstreet Boys. They were like my favorite band. They were my first concert. I saw the Backstreet Boys the night before 9-11.
Starting point is 00:17:12 On 9-10? On 9-10. And I went to school the next day with my little t-shirt. I'm like, everyone's going to want to hear about this. And lo and behold. First thing in the morning, I was just like, this is unbelievable. What a microaggression against me, you know? Right, right.
Starting point is 00:17:26 And that's how 9-11 touched you. 9-11 was really, yeah. It affected people in many ways. Where were you on 9-11? The question is actually, where was I on 9-10? And was I having a killer time? Right. So Charlie Rose has been fired.
Starting point is 00:17:42 I think that was yesterday. But I've actually heard people be like, man, it seems like we're equating Charlie Rose and Al Franken with Roy Moore. And that's not fair because we're more the pedophile. But, man, those Charlie Rose stories are really fucking creepy, man. Like he working at CBS or like at any company that he was working at would have been an absolute nightmare. Like he would like go up and whisper creepy shit into people's ears while like grabbing them inappropriately on a private plane. Once he like got up and just laid down on top of a woman that he worked with. That's horrifying and also very weird. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Yeah. Aggressive. We also, so the president weighed in on sex crim watch in general, but specifically the case of Roy Moore. Came through with a stellar defense. Yeah. Did he say sex crim watch? He hushed all the haters, hushed the haters.
Starting point is 00:18:44 I think we actually have the audio where he explains why. We're talking about sexual misconduct. You have your own allegations against you. Let me just tell you, Roy Moore denies it. That's all I can say. He denies it. And by the way, he totally denies it. Go ahead. Mr. President, what what is your message to women? This is a pivotal moment in our nation's history. Women are very special. I think it's a very special time because a lot of things are coming out.
Starting point is 00:19:16 And I think that's good for our society. And I think it's very, very good for women. And I'm very happy a lot of these things are coming out. Do you believe the accusers? I'm very happy a lot of these things are coming out do you women are very special they're very special very special it's such a just generic and oh god what a cute way of just being like women are like that's so diminutive yeah they're very special they're very special i don't believe them i don't like them and you don't know how special they are to grab them by the pussy. Right. And then you really know, oh, this is a special being.
Starting point is 00:19:49 How do you let a lady know she's special? This Christmas. It almost sounded like during the first answer, it almost sounded like Roy Moore was a like he was speaking about himself in the third person because the woman was like, you have allegations against you. What do you say about this? And he was like, Roy Moore denies it. moore says that's it dead it's dead yeah uh at this point the conversation we've been having around the office is just like who would
Starting point is 00:20:14 surprise us at this point because it seems like if charlie rose is like turns out a secret creepy pervert probably the guy who nobody had thought of in a sexual context in their life at the risk of their sanity. Like, who would we be actually surprised by? And I think our list like this is the same conversation people are having, like when it turned out every baseball player was on steroids. And I remember people being like, the only person that surprised me is G to bro. He's totally clean.
Starting point is 00:20:47 And Pedro. So we're in a position where we're doing the same thing for famous people and their sexual assault. Good guy power rankings. Good guy power rankings. I think we decided Hanks would surprise us. Obama would surprise us. Will Ferrell would surprise us. Obama would surprise us. Will Ferrell would surprise us.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Conan O'Brien and Stephen Colbert. That's it for you? That's my list. Am I dead? I'd like to throw in Alfred Molina. I know he's not the most famous man. That would break you. That would literally snap me.
Starting point is 00:21:24 I know you have a special place in your heart for Mr. Molina. I'd have to drain all the marrow from my bones if Alfred Molina turned out to be a perv. I'd have to turn myself into gel. For me, yeah, I would say Chris Brown. Ben Roethlisberger. Yeah. I would really be devastated.
Starting point is 00:21:43 Can we just take you outside for a second? If something came out about those guys, that would be really terrible. Who can you trust, man? burger yeah yeah i would really be devastated yeah just like taking a good guy if something came out about those guys you know that would be really terrible jimmy's saying that she has something to talk to you about i guess during the break but yeah don't worry about it yes what happened it's fine it's fine just bring it just bring a change but those guys still have careers no they have careers still and i think mel gibson and i think mel gibson too mel gibson good guy feminist icon mel gibson i mean he did know what women think about in that movie that is true and it was always wow what an ass on that guy mel gibson but again if you guys have any information
Starting point is 00:22:18 on if chris brown or ben roethlisberger anything's up with them again we'll just chat about it yeah yeah okay we'll just maybe just bring a new, yeah. Don't worry about it. Maybe. Just bring a new pair of undies. You'll be fine. Oh. Yeah, you might. Shout out to me undies. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Jeez. All right. We're going to take a quick break and talk to Miles about some of his heroes, and we will be right back. I've been thinking about you I want you back in my life it's too late for that I have a proposal for you come up here and document my project
Starting point is 00:22:55 all you need to do is record everything like you always do one session 24 hours BPM 110 120 she's terrified should we wake her up? absolutely not 24 hours. BPM 110, 120. She's terrified. Should we wake her up? Absolutely not.
Starting point is 00:23:11 What was that? You didn't figure it out? I think I need to hear you say it. That was live audio of a woman's nightmare. This machine is approved and everything? You're allowed to be doing this? We passed the review board a year ago. We're not hurting people. There's nothing dangerous

Are we recording? Are we good? Oh, we push record, right? And this season, we're taking an even bigger bite

We've been asking ourselves this the whole time. Man. I saw Quentin Tarantino at a diner the other day, and one person in the diner yelled out,
Starting point is 00:27:14 How's Harv? Oh, shit. And then Quentin Tarantino got right the fuck out of that diner very quickly. All right. So it is the day before Thanksgiving as we're recording this. And we are going to do a couple Thanksgiving-themed stories. I wanted to bust a couple Thanksgiving myths for you. Me.
Starting point is 00:27:36 We talked yesterday about how Thanksgiving is not a pure non-commercial holiday. not a pure non-commercial holiday. Another myth you'll see on your local news is this idea that on Black Friday, everybody just goes crazy and starts beating the shit out of each other. Well. There's just mayhem at every store. Reddit does a good job of aggregating those one videos a year that end up being on every news broadcast right when it's like two women fighting over like a blender or like two dudes throwing down over like a flat screen tv or whatever so basically this is just a genre of story that uh has become a thing that
Starting point is 00:28:16 they know get ratings and it's an incredible it's basically the slowest news day of the year is like right thanksgiving and the day after thanks Thanksgiving because everyone's just eating themselves into a coma. And so the things that they'll do are they will report other crimes as though they were frenzied, like attacks based on people trying to get toys or Christmas presents. Like there was a couple of years ago a shooting at toys r us that was like reported everywhere i was like yeah there was a shootout over like over hatchimals right and it turns out it was just an unrelated gang shooting that took place like in toys r us parking lot um there's also just tons of violence that happens in like walmart's on any given day uh so it's not abnormal hear about it yeah you don't hear about it a walmart is a epicenter of evil right in general so it probably changes
Starting point is 00:29:12 someone's like structure like i'm in fucking walmart i feel more aggro when i'm in a walmart yeah yeah like i just i don't know something it's a stressful place to be well they all they also like come into communities just suck them drive all their resources and then transport like all those resources back to Arkansas. So like it makes sense that like all around our Walmarts, it would just be like crime and horrible shit going down. It's like Mordor. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. But the big myth I wanted to bust is our myth about the founding of America and that first Thanksgiving. They were friends. Yeah. First of all, they're friends.
Starting point is 00:30:01 Before you try and fuck this up for me, Jack, we all know the pilgrim pilgrims came because they were looking for religious freedom. And they met up with some with Squanto and Tonto and Bonto. The religious freedom thing is actually interesting. They were coming for religion, but it was actually to create a theocracy. So it was like the opposite of religious freedom. They didn't think religion was strict enough where they were coming from, so they were coming here to ISIS. Ooh, with the ISIS drop. The tangentially the ISIS drop. The tangentially related ISIS drop.
Starting point is 00:30:28 So they were coming here to create a crazy theocracy, which they succeeded in. It is crazy because I grew up in Massachusetts, so you're going to Plymouth once a year with your class, and they have the Plymouth Plantation, which
Starting point is 00:30:43 is just a bunch of people role-playing false history right before your very eyes every single year uh through high school right it's insane so the reason that uh the pilgrims came and were the like kind of the first big permanent uh settlement Jamestown was permanent in a sense, but it was also a complete disaster. So we tend not to focus on that as much. And we'll get to Jamestown. But so when the pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts Bay, 95 percent of the Indians in that region had just been wiped out by plague. So they basically walked into fully functioning towns that had just been completely evacuated of all the people. So they were just like, oh, this is great. Like we have like, you know, all these fields of corn like pre-planted and stuff.
Starting point is 00:31:35 So they're like the first gentrifiers. Right. Exactly. The white settlers were arriving in the Native American equivalent of Manhattan and I am legend, basically. in the Native American equivalent of Manhattan and I Am Legend, basically. And, you know, anytime white settlers tried to settle pre-apocalyptic America, they failed. This is why there's like that long period between Columbus arriving like 1492 and discovering the new world for white Europeans. the New World for white Europeans and pilgrims showing up in the 1620s is because it was a fully settled, fully occupied and inhabited country. There are some people who think there were more Native Americans in America than there were people in Europe at the time before the plague came through. There's like a written account from a sailor who like talked about sailing down the east
Starting point is 00:32:29 coast of America. And you could just like he called it like it was basically like starlit with clusters of bonfires. And there were so many bonfires you could like smell the smoke before you could even see the land. So, yeah, that's why there's that 50 year gap. The plague came through, depopulated the country and white people came in and settled whatever land had been cleared by the plague. Vikings had actually tried to settle America before the Native American apocalypse and got the shit kicked out of them by the natives.
Starting point is 00:33:02 That was like in the 10 hundreds, I think. So, yeah, I don't know what one of the weird legacies. I feel like the story of Squanto is actually one of the craziest. Like the fact that it's not a movie starring Daniel Day-Lewis or an actual Native American actor is completely insane because this dude like so he was captured when he was younger and like taken to england to be sold into slavery uh and he like managed to escape and convince people to take him back home like across the ocean it was like this long insane journey basically like the movie gladiator and when he arrived back to his hometown it was like the year after the plague had just completely wiped out his
Starting point is 00:33:53 entire tribe the year before oh he came back to the aftermath yeah he came back and his town was just empty and he was like what the fuck just happened? And then the pilgrims show up. And, you know, rather than going and getting the like nearest surviving tribe and having them kill the pilgrims, he was like, well, somebody should use this town. corn with like dead fish to like help with the soil and stuff and it's interesting to look at like when uh people who are trying to settle america didn't have the help of the natives like uh jamestown they came in and they were like were trying to enslave the natives and also only cared about like digging for gold and so the natives just like kind of sat back and were like, OK, yeah, good luck with that. And the first winter was so bad that, you know, when they got there, they were trying to sell Native Americans into slavery. And by the end, they were offering themselves as slaves in exchange for food because they
Starting point is 00:35:02 were like starving so badly. That's a tables have turned moment. Right. For the books. Right. There's another thing that they make you do in Massachusetts when you're a little kid.
Starting point is 00:35:12 You go to Camp Squanto and they show you, it's the weirdest thing. It's like just a normal camp, but at the beginning, they show you this video that tells you that story of Squanto. I'm like, this is the coolest guy.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Everyone he knows died. And then he made friends with white people. Isn't that cool? Anyways, go outside and jump rope. Welcome to Camp Squanto. We tell you about Squanto and then we give you a jump rope. We will sanitize the shit out of history.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Use this rope and jump up and down. Yeah, I mean, and Squanto didn't last for too much longer he ended up dying they think he might have been poisoned actually uh by the local native tribe because they thought he was like kind of uh double dealing which he might have been i thought he was a russian bot right but uh there was a war pretty soon after called King Philip's War that they still say is the bloodiest, most violent conflict ever fought on American soil that was between settlers and the surviving natives. But again, this was the very last stragglers after a plague had basically completely depopulated it. And we're just saying people just moved into their, like,
Starting point is 00:36:26 the vacated homes of the dead and were just, like, using their plates and shit? Yeah, when you look at the actual firsthand accounts of the pilgrims, that's what they're talking about. They're like, yeah, we took the most beautiful, like, bowls and stuff from their homes and covered up the dead bodies that were still there, like, buried the dead bodies that were still there, like buried the dead bodies that were still there. And yeah, they basically just used they moved into a town that already locks it. Yeah, this house looks cool.
Starting point is 00:36:51 And I mean, this is the reason the worst because like, you know, people I think people just think, oh, you know, white Europeans came in with their superior weapons and, you know, gun beats arrow. So that's why today when you think of America, you picture, you know, white Europeans or whatever. But like white Europeans also tried to do the same thing in Africa, tried to do the same thing in Asia. And when you picture those countries, you picture Africans and Asian people because they were fully populated and you can't like depopulate a country. It's just that America had a plague that went through it that. So to put it in perspective, I think they think that 90 percent of the America's population was wiped out by the plague eventually.
Starting point is 00:37:43 And the black plague that is like the most famous plague that we know of. Top plague. Yeah, top plague. Top one plague. Top ten plagues. Was, I think it wiped out a third of Europe. Right. So 90% versus a third.
Starting point is 00:37:58 And they got the plague because of the, like, Colombian exchange, right? Is because they weren't living in close quarters with animals? And like once pigs came through, they're like, right. So the Europeans have been living for, you know, hundreds of years in close quarters with like pigs and livestock. And so they had, you know, over the course of years been exposed to all these different illnesses that had jumped species. And, you know, the natives didn't have that.
Starting point is 00:38:28 They did like sort of have a type of agriculture that they did where they cleared trees from the forest so that like forests were not like were still livable. like forests were not like we're still livable. Uh, they think actually that when the natives died off, so many trees grew back, uh, that it caused the mini ice age in Europe because it's basically reverse global warming.
Starting point is 00:38:57 the, the more trees, the cooler the climate gets. Um, so, but they didn't live in close quarters with like animal shit so they were totally unprepared for you know some of the illnesses that came through interesting and yeah i'll i'll mention massachusetts one more time because this is the only one of the massachusetts
Starting point is 00:39:16 expert jamie loft is coming one of the only times that the state is relevant in the year is around thanksgiving uh so and it's it's interesting watching like people that like there were people i knew growing up who were like distantly related to pilgrims and and between being very young and being like i'm related to pilgrims i'm cool and then by the time i was in high school they were like i don't really like the fucking genocider right like you're great great great great, great, great motherfucker. Right. You're a great, great, great motherfucker. My fifth grade teacher, I remember that was like one of the first times that I realized that Thanksgiving was perhaps not so chill, was my fifth grade teacher, Mr. Brewster.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Shout out, Mr. Brewster. It was related to a famous Mayflower passenger. Punky Brewster. A famous Mayflower passenger. Punky Brewster. Mr. Punky Brewster, who was like the first preacher that came on the Mayflower and just like was a really active participant and just wiping out another culture. And so we're like, oh, that's so cool. You relate to a Mayflower guy.
Starting point is 00:40:23 And he's like, I am. The thing about that is. I am related to him. There's no getting around it. Right thing about that is. I am related to him. There's no getting around it. Right. Right. Yeah. I mean, and there was a lot of, you know, slaughter and wars that followed it. But again, they were fighting them at like one twentieth of their previous strength.
Starting point is 00:40:40 So what are we trying to say? Should we still celebrate Thanksgiving? Yeah. Or just look at it in context. So what are we trying to say? Should we still celebrate Thanksgiving? Yeah. Or just look at it in context, right? White people of European descent should be thankful because their ancestors got the luckiest that any group of people has ever gotten because they just rolled over and moved into a completely pre-settled landscape. Right. But, yeah, I guess it's probably worth keeping in mind that the most important event in – like most historians who know of your thinking right and but it's been completely sanitized of its actual history
Starting point is 00:41:30 and like the actual history of of the experience of being an indigenous person in the americas right that it's like yeah let's let's remember that too and also do we also forget and i just realize this is that november is actually uh native american history month yeah i didn't even know and we don't even know that and it's happening in november so yeah guys let's think of you know the real things we have to be thankful for too right like the redskins blackhawks um yeah that is a lot of team names. Yeah. After we take a break, we're going to come back and talk about things that we're thankful for. I've been thinking about you. I want you back in my life.

Starting point is 00:46:31 comfortable asking for consent so it's just a very tense experience right and then he like awkwardly pets it and then he was like i hereby pardon you and everyone was like what the fuck and then he had to start clapping i was like like, oh, shit. Okay. Was that the end? Oh, okay. It was so weird. Man can't even pardon a turkey. Can't do anything. So dumb.
Starting point is 00:46:52 But is turkey pardoning dumb? Why do we do that shit? Does it matter? Because don't they fucking die anyway? Yeah, I thought it went back way further than it did. Like, apparently there was an accidental turkey pardoning. Like Lincoln's son, Ted, was like pardoning, like Lincoln's son. Tad was like, no, I like this turkey.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Tad Lincoln. That sounds like a movie that needs to be made. That's got to be a cartoon right away. So he made his dad pardon the turkey. He named it. His name was Jack Turkey. And I think it lived a long, happy life with Tad. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Tad married that turkey. I know you believe it. But like after that, I think there was there was another president who pardoned a raccoon, which was sent to him for his feast. Like he was supposed to eat a raccoon. And he was like, now raccoons are cute. They have little human hands. I want it to be my friend.
Starting point is 00:47:45 And so he kept it as a pet. But the next person to pardon a turkey was Reagan. Someone asked him about Oliver North. Like whether he pardoned him? Yeah, whether he was going to pardon Oliver North. And he was like, no, I'm going to pardon this turkey. I'm Reagan. I'm fun.
Starting point is 00:48:04 And then H.W. Bush got in on it and was like, I hereby pardon this turkey. And then it's been a thing ever since then. But, yeah, the people have pointed out that the turkeys usually don't make it a full year because as opposed to in Lincoln's time when you pardoned a turkey and it just got to continue being a turkey. As opposed to in Lincoln's time when you pardoned a turkey and it just got to continue being a turkey. These are genetically modified beasts that have been made to last exactly as long as they need to. To get peak physical plumpness and then immediately dispatch. So we can feast on their corpses. So they, you know, don't make it a year because they are just over plumped and over. Right. That's like even sadder. You know what I mean? uh, don't make it a year because they are just over plumped and over.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Right. That's like even sadder. You know what I mean? Like you get part and then like you're honestly, you're going to probably die some kind of heart failure because your body is too big to sustain your life. Yeah. When I'm not going to pardon my hamster for Thanksgiving this year, there's no excuse for you.
Starting point is 00:49:00 And then I'm just gonna, yeah, I'll bring a fork. Um, my hamster is the size of a tater tot. It's like there's not even a point in eating it. Not good eating on those bones. She's worthless.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Bring a good eating hamster through. Give me a guinea pig. Like a little substance. All right. But let's talk about things we're thankful for, guys. Well, first, can we talk about, this is one thing I just want to throw this in at the last minute. What's your favorite Thanksgiving food? Sorry to make this an AM or FM morning show, but I'm always interested to know what everyone's favorite food is because sometimes I find common ground with people.
Starting point is 00:49:37 The best part of the Thanksgiving meal for you, Jack? Probably the stuffing. Okay. Jamie? I was going to say stuffing. I also love green bean casserole oh yes yes i don't have that often but yes i love stuff stuffing is my stuffing thing oh really i could almost eat i wouldn't even really need the turkey i could just eat a lot of stuffing with gravy on
Starting point is 00:49:57 it well yeah turkey is almost inedible without the stuffing because the turkey can be super dry can be dry if someone's fucking up in the kitchen i went to a friend's giving the other night and it was like no one brought turkey six people brought stuffing and it was the best thanksgiving i love that i love it i love it yeah because you know thanksgiving's right because it's state-sanctioned gluttony yeah you know there's also there's like this i feel like some families have like Thanksgiving signature dishes. Like my grandma rests in paradise. She's up there hanging out with Bill Paxton. Oh, they're saying she lives in paradise, Nevada.
Starting point is 00:50:30 Oh, no, she's literally in heaven making out with Bill Paxton. But she, she used to make this trifle, like a dessert trifle, but she was, but would never, like everyone was like, grandma, like does not wash her hands before she makes that trifle. But the trifle would be so good, but you knew it was dirty, but like you had to eat it, but it was dirty. Wait, what is a trifle? A trifle, it's like basically a five-layer dip, but with like pudding and like, yeah, berries and cake. And like, it's really good. But my grandma's dirty little hands were also just fully, but we would always like, you would just stare at it. You're like, I'm not going to eat it this year because I know grandma's dirty little hands were also just fully but we would always like you
Starting point is 00:51:05 would just stare at it you're like i'm not gonna eat it this year because i know it's dirty i feel like a grandma's hands could never be dirty though you know what i mean like and were they that dirty that like even your family oh grandma did not wash her hands again well she'd be doing it and then she'd be doing the finger licks and then she'd go back into grandma though that's your grandma those aren't germs grandmas don't have germs. She's not like... I believe that. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:28 My grandma, I don't know. Rest in paradise, but also... Clean your hands, grandma. Yeah. Wash your hands, grandmother. Come on. She's like, I've never washed them, and I never will. My grandma was a badass.
Starting point is 00:51:42 She was a widower, or no. Widow. Widow. She was a badass. She was a widower. Or no. Widow. She was a widow. But she would have all these framed pictures of hot cowboys around the house. She was a horny, weird lady. Who didn't wash her hands. Who would not wash her hands.
Starting point is 00:51:58 My type of grandma. Don't eat that trifle, dude. It's bad. That's awesome. Yeah. What are you thankful for, Miles? Well, I guess we were going to go around, right right and just talk about things we're thankful for yeah and rather than do like the usual like oh i'm so glad i'm healthy my family boring i'm gonna hear more about jack's baby
Starting point is 00:52:17 yeah it's like grow up dude get a baby get a baby maybe i should um you know we want to go around and talk about YouTube videos we're thankful for because that does sometimes bring us a little bit of joy when you can see the right YouTube video or they just get you out of a funk. Right. So let's go around and let's just talk about a YouTube video we're thankful for that we've seen. One that you showed me yesterday is just this. It's maybe 25 seconds. we've seen one that you showed me yesterday is just this it's maybe 25 seconds it's uh an enormous man uh taking a video of himself and he's just out like in a cornfield and uh i think i think we have the audio of he's smoking a blunt out here in amish smoking big doinks in amish hell yeah big old doinks in Amish? Hell yeah. Big doinks. Big ol' doinks.
Starting point is 00:53:07 He's hitting a blunt. Big ol' doinks. He's just said it again. Hitting a blunt in a cornfield. Big ol' doinks. Empty road. Gang. Ooh, gang. Close that with gang.
Starting point is 00:53:16 It's really one of the great things. Doinks was amazing. Big ol' doinks out in Amish. Referring to the country as Amish is just amazing. Calling blunts doinks. They all doink. And then just signing off with gang.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Rather than doink. It's my fucking spirit animal. Wasn't doink a wrestler? Like a clown wrestler in the WWF back in the day? Really? Doink is just a sound of something like bouncing off someone's head. Yeah, doink the clown. Remember?
Starting point is 00:53:39 Doink the clown. Yo, he looked like Beetlejuice on meth. Dude, that does look like. So anyway, shout out to Doink the Clown. Feminist icon Doink the Clown. Feminist icon Doink the Clown. Other media I'm thankful for, Sesame Street, Dr. Seuss, and Goodnight Moon. That shit keeps me sane.
Starting point is 00:53:55 Hell yeah. Wow. Good for you. Yeah. I mean, it's almost the time of year to watch Chuck Jones' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, which is one of my favorite cartoons of all time. It's so good. Narrated by Carl.
Starting point is 00:54:07 What about you, Jamie? What what's a YouTube video you're very thankful for? Well, I'm an ASMR head. I love ASMR. You get the tingles off that? I get the tingles off that. Yeah, I love I love it. I've been listening to it to fall asleep for like maybe four years now.
Starting point is 00:54:22 Whoa. Yeah, I've been I got I got it. So you were like an early adopter. Yeah. Yeah, I got in on the ground. Oh, so you were like an early adopter, yeah. Yeah, I got in on the ground. You're an ASMR hipster. Right. Guys, not to brag, but I've been listening to creepy-ass videos every night for a long time.
Starting point is 00:54:33 They lull me to sleep. But there's one of my favorites that came out this year because now that it's been around for a while, people are getting kind of like they're running out of ideas and they're coming up with new stuff. So there's this great user who I listen to all the time called ASMR Glow. But she did an ASMR version of Pennywise kidnapping a child. For people who don't know what ASMR videos, give them like the elevator pitch. Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:00 So ASMR, it stands for auto sensory meridian response and basically it's just when uh a user it's basically just a video of someone whispering and it's usually taken in like a simulation of something or like a role play so it'll just be like a really quiet video of like i'm gonna paint your hands or like right i think you're really cool and nice and do you want to be my friend okay go to sleep like like they're on paper they sound horrifying but they actually are super like relaxing for it's like 15 of the population has a certain thing right where it causes a physiological response yes we can just play the the video this is pennywise abducting a child you will know if you are asmr sensitive right asleep yeah
Starting point is 00:55:48 jamie's out oh what is this you awake okay okay so that's the start of the Pennywise video. Pennywise is just for setting to just relax you. Pennywise is just taking you down into the gutter. You are trapped. You are drowning. You are dying. And that's how you go to sleep.
Starting point is 00:56:17 It's a 45-minute video of like, hey, so where are your friends? Oh, Jesus Christ. I hate your friends. Do you want to go to prison? It's scary. Hey, so if anybody, if you had a particularly tense Thanksgiving, just toss this 45-minute abduction simulation. Honestly, I recommend, I think it's one of the top 10 art films of 2017 is the Pennywise ASMR video. It's insane.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Miles, what about you? the Pennywise ASMR video. It's insane. Miles, what about you? Mine, in the grand tradition of people smoking blunts videos, I have to say, after we were talking about doinks and Amish, it reminded me of one of my favorite ones, which is like rapper hits blunt and passes out.
Starting point is 00:57:00 And it's just like this dude acting so tough on his webcam. I guess you can call it rapping to camera. And then he's like, does this, he hits a blunt so hard and he's just not built for it. Just, I don't know, listen to this one. For anything. Put a grand on there. You'll get two G's. On the rim. Bitch niggas trying to do me.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Get smoked like that blunt. I just love it because he's like, get smoke, like, just blunt and immediately. He also looks like he's, like, about to burst into tears at the beginning of the video. Like, he's got a really sad face and his eyes are a little far apart. So guys, you can check all these videos out in the footnotes so you can know
Starting point is 00:57:53 the joy that we have from these videos. I love that it's titled Obese Guy Faints After Trying to Rap and Smoking a Blind. That's like a Hemingway story. That's really sad. Very sad. Alright, that that's gonna do it for us for this this Thanksgiving week I hope you guys have a good Thanksgiving Jamie
Starting point is 00:58:15 where can people follow you I can follow me on twitter.com at hamburger phone you can listen to my podcast the Bechdel cast about women in movies every Thursday. Great podcast. And Jamie's a great follow on Twitter. Miles, where can people follow you? You can follow me
Starting point is 00:58:33 on Twitter, Instagram, at Miles of Grey. And you know, I probably will be outside of the Best Buy in Burbank, trying to get a $3 TV. Wait, seriously? No. Oh. Just challenging people. Just staring at people.
