Right. Because it's a physical location and you're saying, yep, Zeit Unseen. I'm into this.
Starting point is 00:02:31 I can't imagine something you would buy Zeit Unseen that, because there are pictures in it, right? Oh, okay. We have photographs of everything. Okay. I guess it means it'd be physically there. I don't know. I think we're getting a little too granular already. No, that's what we're going to talk about today, actually. Okay We have photographs of everything Okay I guess it means to be physically there I don't know This is I think we're getting a little too granular
Starting point is 00:02:46 Yeah Already No that's what we're gonna talk about today Actually Yeah No we're actually gonna talk about things That are trending Such as
Starting point is 00:02:53 Untreated syphilis Oh by the way I'm Jack That's Miles Me Yeah That's me Hey
Starting point is 00:02:59 Untreated syphilis is trending Yeah how's that going Because It's trending weirdly just for me huh huh you know how google like knows yeah when you type something in you just put your auto you were looking for stuff on the un and just auto filled untreated syphilis yeah it was a matter of time before my secret was revealed i was curious about the unccola Sprite. Yeah, so I guess this is trending because when you put that into the Google machine, a bunch of pictures of Donald Trump come up.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Ha ha, we got him in your face. No, I think some of the symptoms people were speculating. Was this a Reddit push, I'm imagining? It was on Google google on the google trends oh no i'm seeing sometimes like there's you know focused efforts on reddit to basically get something to be the first possibly result yeah i mean there is also it's funny i don't know if they're saying this in relation because what are some of the side effects of syphilis have to do with your memory yeah it can uh fuck with your overall cognitive health right
Starting point is 00:04:06 because i know there is there was an article that were like the dementia argument had come up again because apparently the president could not remember meeting with mark zuckerberg uh-huh and it was like all right you you met with mark zuckerberg right um noberg right that's just because he has a Dave like double who does half of the things for him while he's out golfing other pictures that come up are fucking
Starting point is 00:04:37 gross when you look at untreated syphilis so if any if we can do one service for you just trust that Reddit has accomplished uh, untreated syphilis. So if any, if we can do one service for you, just, just trust that, uh, Reddit has accomplished their goal.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Pictures of Donald Trump do arise along with just, just unpleasant things. Yeah. Uh, Sean Weiss is trending as well. Uh, Sean Weiss was, what was his name?
Starting point is 00:05:07 Goldberg. Goldberg and Mighty Ducks. ducks uh who was the gully yeah yeah big the the big boy from mighty ducks and he has since developed a dependency uh an addiction problem and uh now sometimes we'll make it into headlines because he looks speaking of old prospector like he's gone man i mean it's it's really like tragic this is the thing man you see with so many child actors and there there's something man part of your soul can be taken from you when you're working like that and you have all these weird pressures on you and who knows what kind of whatever your experience is within the entertainment industry at a young age yeah um and i remember there was a mugshot this has kind of been a really slow and tragic process where a few years ago a mugshot came out
Starting point is 00:06:01 and people were in disbelief of how much his condition had changed and what he looked like and now like it you know if i was like a asshole early 20s kid like i used to be i would be laughing my ass off looking at something like this i'm like oh man this dude fell off and then it just it looks tragic he was arrested and the reason this is coming up is because he was arrested for uh breaking into someone's garage while he was uh high on meth right yeah and i mean he looked that like very old and maybe decades older than he should have looked uh like a year ago and it's only gotten worse. He's your age Jack basically. Yeah. So yeah bummer.
Starting point is 00:06:50 Two bummer things up top. Let's talk about Minnie Mouse. Minnie is trending. You have Minnie Mouse unloads and I'm like what does that mean? Yeah. So there's a video of a person
Starting point is 00:07:06 oh shit yeah Minnie Mouse just whooped somebody's ass oh my god it's not clear to me what like it does I don't think it's happening at Epcot or like at a Disney event no this is I know this is in Vegas it looks like okay
Starting point is 00:07:21 yeah so it's probably an unofficial yeah yeah this is this is I think in Vegas it looks like. Okay. Yeah. So it's probably an unofficial. Yeah. Yeah. This is, this is, I think probably people who pose like in costume on the street to make, you know, they'd be like,
Starting point is 00:07:33 okay, five bucks, get a photo with Minnie or Spider-Man. Yeah. And I don't know what happened in this clip, but it just starts off with this woman's Minnie Mouse head. She like takes it off and just starts pummeling this other woman. And I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Oh, it's a security guard. Yeah. Ooh, boy. Yeah. It's an ass whooping. I mean, yeah, that's just a flashpoint of stress. I don't even know what is going on. Oh, and then the goofy guy took his head off to try and be a peacemaker.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Yeah. Wow. Wow. goofy guy took his head off to try and be a peacemaker yeah wow wow uh yeah i guess this is uh i would love to know what actually happened here i wonder if it was one of those things where security guard was like hey stop panhandling or whatever trying to make money out of here and they said okay try and make me leave right oh boy yeah. Top secret is trending because I guess the White House reached out to John Bolton's people and said that he is revealing top secret information in his book and must not publish it. Yeah. He also reached out to the lawyers of the publishing house.
Starting point is 00:08:40 They call it top secret. We call it the truth. Right. And yeah, the the like after a review under federal this this letter is so absurd under federal law and the non-disclosure agreements your client signed as a condition for gaining access to classified information the manuscript may not be published or otherwise disclosed without the deletion of this classified information right so yes okay they really they're really relaxed about this book
Starting point is 00:09:06 coming out and everything is fine. It's a, it's, I'm getting conflicting messages. Usually it's very consistent and just down the middle from, uh, this, this white house, but I'm getting the message that, uh, nothing he says is true. So it doesn't matter. The president isn't scared of him, but then I'm also getting that, uh, he has top secret information in there that uh you know will bring down the nation if it's revealed yeah yeah what's funny because the parts that he's saying already out loud which are definitely not top secret are very damning already right hey hey good luck with that as uh we watch it all burn around us and finally uh old bay Bay is trending because there is Old Bay hot sauce. That's exciting.
Starting point is 00:09:51 I'm fucking so ready for this shit. Yeah. I can't believe it's taken them this long. I know. Yeah, I wonder if they're just like in the leadership, the C-suite over at Old Bay. Right. They're like, you know what? We stick to the dry seasonings.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Right. You know, if you want to mess around, we're not interested in collaborations. I'm hoping, in my mind, the young, hip grandson is now taking over. He's like, you know what we need, boardroom? Is an Old Bay hot sauce. And then just, huh? I love Old Bay. There's a lot of people muttering under their breath.
Starting point is 00:10:19 It can't be. I've seen it as a cocktail glass rim accessory in a cocktail before. I don't care what liquor's in it because I just love the seasoning of Old Bay. I'm sure the people of Maryland are also very happy about this. Yeah, it's very interesting. It's also limited edition, so it seems like they're doing the Popeye's chicken sandwich-ification in order to release this. Fantastic. You love to see it. You do love to see a company
Starting point is 00:10:48 like Old Bay get it this right. Alright guys, that's going to do it for this afternoon. We'll see some of you in Portland tomorrow night. And we'll be back tomorrow with another episode of The Daily Zeitgeist. We'll talk to you guys then. Bye. Old day.
