Speaker 1: Okay, First of all, some some flames on your plane
Speaker 1: when you land is just a way of celebrating that
Speaker 1: you've landed in Florida. That's just those are celebratory flames.
Speaker 1: Helps with the disembark It makes the disembarking process more
Speaker 1: efficient because people are getting off the plane more quickly
Speaker 1: because of the black smoke, and you get to use
Speaker 1: the slide. How often do you get to use the slide? Also,
Speaker 1: So one of the big problems that we have with
Speaker 1: the air it's just the air traffic controllers are asleep
Speaker 1: at the wheel literally because they don't let them sleep,
Speaker 1: and so these little near death accident things are like
Speaker 1: they jolt them away for like at least a couple
Speaker 1: of days. So I think you're in actually.
Speaker 2: Really good in Orlando right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, they're very keen to not repeat this mistake
Speaker 1: within the next few days. So these are these are
Speaker 1: the rumble strips of air traffic. Air air travel. You
Speaker 1: know how rumble strips are actually there so that when
Speaker 1: truckers fall asleep, they like drift off to the side
Speaker 1: and then they're like, oh, that's what these little accidents are,
Speaker 1: these little oopsies. They are like rumble strips for the
Speaker 1: air travel industry.
Speaker 3: An entire plane engine has to catch fire.
Speaker 1: That is the unfortunate consequence.
Speaker 2: Black smoke, you said, though, sounds like we got a
Speaker 2: new pope.
Speaker 1: We got a new pope. We don't, right, it doesn't
Speaker 1: have to be white smoke.
Speaker 3: Which one is it? We vote again, black smoke, black pope.
Speaker 3: Maybe some black pope, black pope, black poope.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't, I need I need a rhyming mnemonic
Speaker 1: device for like, white smoke, pope pope. Not here, black
Speaker 1: smoke pope.
Speaker 3: Black black, Yes, black key's back there we go back
Speaker 3: white good night.
Speaker 1: There it is.
Speaker 3: We got it all right. Next next right.

Speaker 1: just like people doing the voice.
Speaker 3: I feel like I was born of the dog.
Speaker 1: That's right. I was born in the dark. It is
Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty undeniable. I have.
Speaker 2: I have a phenomenal impression that is no longer culturally relevant,

Speaker 3: with the fact check song Zach to.
Speaker 1: Steal to steal trap up there?
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, welcome, Welcome to the Insufferable Assholes Podcast. We
Speaker 3: got Zach Zimmerman on Today, Is it exhausting being all
Speaker 3: the time, and it's exhausting being married to me? Are
Speaker 3: we are you proposing proposing? My wife doesn't leave me
Speaker 3: for just constantly sundowning with weird out of context movie
Speaker 3: and TV show.
Speaker 1: Quotes, incorrect, incorrect.
Speaker 3: I overhear something while we're recording. I opened the door.
Speaker 1: I'm like, not right, yeah, yeah, yeah, this smoke. No,
Speaker 1: that wasn't Jacob. That miss quoted me and girls. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, Zach, we're going to get to know you
Speaker 1: a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going
Speaker 1: to tell our listeners a couple of things we're talking
Speaker 1: about today. Uh. Pete hag seth Uh. We talked about
Speaker 1: it on yesterday's Trending, But things seem to be devolving
Speaker 1: for Pete in terms of his ability to stay employed
Speaker 1: as Secretary of Defense. He said yesterday he said he
Speaker 1: was saying over the weekend, I talked to Trump. He
Speaker 1: said we're good. So we're good, which is a he's
Speaker 1: a good sign. Yeah, when the person has quotes about
Speaker 1: what Trump said to them behind closed doors, but no
Speaker 1: Trump quotes are forthcoming on that person's behalf. So we'll
Speaker 1: continue to talk about the fallout from him, well, also
Speaker 1: just general sloppiness from this administration. We'll also talk about
Speaker 1: Christy nomes purse being stolen with three thousand dollars cash
Speaker 1: inside allegedly. We'll talk about the continued fallout from Katy
Speaker 1: Perry's trip to space.
Speaker 3: Kind of everyone everyone's kind of getting flack, but a
Speaker 3: lot of people the Katy Perry of it all I
Speaker 3: think was especially kind of humiliating for her because now,
Speaker 3: like over the weekend there's like things in the Daily
Speaker 3: Mail where it's one of her confidants is like, yes,
Speaker 3: I think she kind of regrets doing all that, doing
Speaker 3: the most up there during that life stream.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's I think we're like the real problem,
Speaker 1: just don't do like massive publicity stunts with Jeff Bay Like,
Speaker 1: I think I feel like that might be your problem
Speaker 1: right there, not so much over here and down there,
Speaker 1: but right around the Jeff Bezos photo op. So we'll
Speaker 1: talk about that, and then we'll talk about the movie Sinners,
Speaker 1: a huge hit. Ryan Coogler's Sinners all sorts of incredibly
Speaker 1: impressive results. Best performance by an original movie since before
Speaker 1: the pandemic. Wow, that's fucking wild and the Variety and
Speaker 1: other kind of mainstream media outlets are like, I mean, okay,
Speaker 1: I guess you could say that's good. Why it's not good? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so we'll talk about why why there might be a
Speaker 1: double standard. Have you ever heard about one of those?
Speaker 1: A double standard?
Speaker 2: Is that like a single standard?
Speaker 1: So it's similar to a single standard, but you do
Speaker 1: you do a different one for a different person. It's interesting. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I know it's we know nothing.
Speaker 3: Of it in my world, Zach. It's going to spin
Speaker 3: when you hear this, Zach.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna believe it.
Speaker 3: Like one of those those humanoid robots in the marathon.
Speaker 3: Your head will spin right off.
Speaker 1: All that plenty more. But first, Zach, we do like
Speaker 1: to ask our guest, what is something from your search
Speaker 1: history that's revealing about who you are?
Speaker 2: So on Sunday, I got high and went to an
Speaker 2: evangelical church service, Oh my God, which I thought it
Speaker 2: was for twenty Easter.
Speaker 1: Let me do it.
Speaker 3: I haven't been that is twenty years.
Speaker 1: And I wow, you did the two things I did it, Yeah, the.
Speaker 2: Two was worried. I was worried I would leave converted.
Speaker 2: But what I actually thought was the thing that I searched,
Speaker 2: which is while this pastor, this young handsome guy's given
Speaker 2: his sermon, I'm like, is his wife blowing him like our?
Speaker 3: Can Christians give blow jobs?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So I googled can Christians give blowjobs? I was just
Speaker 2: that's where my high brain went.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the whole time he's talking and you're like, dude,
Speaker 1: what if it's like it's like a sin to get
Speaker 1: domed up from valve Holme's part where.
Speaker 2: He came to because he's I don't know, so wholesome.
Speaker 2: I just couldn't see anything other.
Speaker 1: Oh, you saw he as like asexual almost No.
Speaker 2: I saw a pro creative, gentle, condomless penetrative he was.
Speaker 2: He had like the gay haircut from ten years ago
Speaker 2: to I don't know if that's the fashion now amongst
Speaker 2: straight pastors, but he had like a skin fade on
Speaker 2: the sides.
Speaker 3: He was a handsome guy.
Speaker 2: You wul talk telling me about the Gospel and how
Speaker 2: the Resurrection of Christ matters. But turns out yes, in
Speaker 2: the in a marital context. I read an article on
Speaker 2: Christian context. Yeah, as long as everyone is enjoying it
Speaker 2: was that part of it. Sure, Yeah, that doesn't sound
Speaker 2: like Christianity. To me, that doesn't sound right. I think
Speaker 2: we have to go back everything. Did you wait to
Speaker 2: leave before you googled that?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I didn't want it'd be wild, like someone just looks
Speaker 3: over your shoulder from the eye behind.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I had to fight the urge to be like, you're
Speaker 3: all sheep, this is a lie. Wait, so what I mean?
Speaker 3: What even drew you to do that? You said it's
Speaker 3: been twenty years. Was it just kind of like a
Speaker 3: morbid curiosity, like let me get fucking really high and
Speaker 3: then subject myself to a Easter service? Yeah? I was curious.
Speaker 2: I mean I think I always like I have a
Speaker 2: bunch of like evangelical trauma. So it's kind of fun
Speaker 2: when I can go back and be above it, right right,
Speaker 2: kind of not feel triggered by this space and see
Speaker 2: it from a distance. Part I was curious, and then
Speaker 2: I was I don't know. I think there was some
Speaker 2: thing that gleaned from me. He was saying, God thinks
Speaker 2: you should live your life to the fullest. I was like, okay,
Speaker 2: I can get behind that.
Speaker 3: Okay, influencer, I'm with that. Or or maybe I.
Speaker 2: Hoped that they would like say something salacious or interesting.
Speaker 2: I am always curious about the role Hell plays today,
Speaker 2: Like I grew up tons of hell in church. Now
Speaker 2: so much like they bury hell now they barely talk.
Speaker 1: About I don't even talk about hell anymore. No, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got my fill of evangelical stuff. And when I
Speaker 1: lived in Kentucky for a few years, and yeah, they
Speaker 1: were they were telling people that were going to hell,
Speaker 1: like who died? Like a kid died and they were like,
Speaker 1: we don't think he was saved. Unfortunately, so he saved.
Speaker 1: Oh God, by the way, do you think that your
Speaker 1: search killed the pope? Like you searching that on Easter?
Speaker 1: Do you think that that was too much.
Speaker 2: For I think he was making a similar search and
Speaker 2: God got domed up. People are thinking JD killed the pope.
Speaker 2: JD pleased the pope and.
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, if he please. This is the type of
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory I'm here for, because it's not that, you.
Speaker 3: Know, his toppy game is next level, that he took
Speaker 3: the pope to death.
Speaker 2: There was a reason he got appointed despite them being
Speaker 2: very different parts of the Conservative Party.
Speaker 3: He's got mad.
Speaker 1: Those lips, eyelashes, those eyelashes.
Speaker 3: Was he Kentucky?
Speaker 1: I thought Ohio, Southern Ohio maybe sounds right, Yeah, Zach,
Speaker 1: what's something he thinks underrated?
Speaker 2: The dunkin Donuts mobile app brings me a lot of joy.
Speaker 2: I don't hear people talking about it enough. I am.
Speaker 3: I'm rolling into a dunkin. My order is already ready
Speaker 3: for me. I'm getting points. They just had a promotion.
Speaker 2: I got four points four times points on National Coal
Speaker 2: Brew Day a few days ago. The offers, the offers
Speaker 2: are consistent. Then the products are what you pay for,
Speaker 2: what's your download the dunkin donn use promo code? Zach Zimmerman.
Speaker 1: The So this is one of those things where you
Speaker 1: hear people who are like privacy experts say, don't use
Speaker 1: the apps because they're like selling your information or they're
Speaker 1: and but on the other hand, they are better, Like
Speaker 1: a lot of them are just much better than not
Speaker 1: using the apps. And I'm like, who, what's dunkin Donuts
Speaker 1: gonna do with my my psychographic data? Yeah, Like, I
Speaker 1: don't know that they build a psychographic data profile of
Speaker 1: me and it knows that like like what I'm in
Speaker 1: the mood for. I'm sure there's like some darker you
Speaker 1: know that I did submit a DNA sample to them,
Speaker 1: and that might have been a little bit overboard.
Speaker 3: I was gonna tell you them, like Jack, you can
Speaker 3: just enter in the app that sour cream donuts are
Speaker 3: your favorite donut.
Speaker 1: No, I better do this for the DNA sample. So
Speaker 1: I might be in some trouble for another reason. But
Speaker 1: what's your what's your go to at Duncan, I'm doing.
Speaker 2: A black cole Brew medium and recently they've had a
Speaker 2: dunk King's promotion six dollars for.
Speaker 1: I put that crown on your head, King with the
Speaker 1: crown on.
Speaker 2: My head, and then donut wise, I'm not going to
Speaker 2: Duncan for my donuts.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, sorry, Yeah, so your order is mostly just coffee.
Speaker 3: It's just coffee.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, good for you. That actually makes makes sense
Speaker 1: to me. I think I think that's right. I think
Speaker 1: you're right. Decisions point.
Speaker 2: Yes, thanks my sponsorship. They were like, you shout on
Speaker 2: half of our business.
Speaker 1: Shout on the part of the business that's in the donuts.
Speaker 1: Not a fan of Actually they're not called donuts anymore,
Speaker 1: so they know what's up.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they deleted that a while.
Speaker 1: Oh they're just Duncan, They're just Dunkin.
Speaker 2: I think I hopped at that too. There, like we're
Speaker 2: not International House of Pancakes anymore.
Speaker 1: We're just yeah, And that's so you're aware, so that
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean anything. Yeah, I hop doesn't.
Speaker 3: It's a it's a discontinued Apple robot toy.
Speaker 1: They were thinking about releasing the Iye hop and we didn't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we just it's they went from like being a donut
Speaker 1: thing to being like, we're fucking cranking here. American runs
Speaker 1: on Duncan right. Their whole thing is just yeah, they
Speaker 1: know where what side they're bread is buttered on it
Speaker 1: and it's a weird legal speed. Yeah, what what's something
Speaker 1: you think's overrated?
Speaker 3: Lady Gaga? Just kidding? I love Yeah, yeah, no, but.
Speaker 1: I do think Miles's face was dead?
Speaker 3: So what happened?
Speaker 1: Gotcha?
Speaker 2: I do think maybe it depends on your community, but
Speaker 2: I think outdoor music festivals have never appealed to me,
Speaker 2: and people seem to be having a lot of fun
Speaker 2: outside in the hot sun at a music festival, rocking out.
Speaker 2: I'm seeing not in responses from you boys. I guess
Speaker 2: I'm gone for the wrong thing.
Speaker 3: No, No, I'm saying, oh, we're yeah, I'm in the
Speaker 3: elder community.
Speaker 1: What community were you speaking from?
Speaker 2: Which is basically, Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Have
Speaker 2: I aged out of when being a horde was fun? Well,
Speaker 2: I think the heat makes it suck. That's why I
Speaker 2: like Coachella. The times when it was hot.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is fucking terrible, Like I can't handle
Speaker 1: this shit, but no, I'm I'm I'm there with you.
Speaker 3: Like, the lineup has to be really good for me
Speaker 3: to want to be like in a massive people yeah,
Speaker 3: And I think that's the thing. As I become older
Speaker 3: and more washed, I went from knowing like eighty percent
Speaker 3: of the lineups I would see on a given like
Speaker 3: life a for a festival, to now being like, I
Speaker 3: know the headliners and like six them artists on there,
Speaker 3: and I'm you know, I'm just realizing the pace at
Speaker 3: which new artists come out is just it.
Speaker 1: It's hard.
Speaker 2: So the aging makes you crave comfort more. And also
Speaker 2: the music is not as alluring to overcome the discomfort.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 3: I mean, although I love outside lands, and that's because
Speaker 3: the temperature in the gold and Golden Gate Park in
Speaker 3: San Francisco is just conducive to being able to like
Speaker 3: stand outside for many hours without becoming exhausted from merely
Speaker 3: being outside.
Speaker 2: Maybe I'm willing, Maybe I'm willing to adjust then to
Speaker 2: hot too hot? Yeah, what's operted hot temperatures?
Speaker 1: Wait?
Speaker 3: Well yeah, for too long, we've been celebrating ninety degrees.
Speaker 1: We should have been celebrating sixty six oh point sixgree
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3: Did you see yo? Did you see the clips of
Speaker 3: Justin Bieber at Coachella?
Speaker 1: No turning out? He look sorry, I'm trying to act young.
Speaker 1: This is but the hair tent was really hitting.
Speaker 3: Oh my god. There's also this other artist that I
Speaker 3: I've we've gone out on a couple of her songs,
Speaker 3: Lola Young. She was super sick last week and was
Speaker 3: like choking back, like she was like gagging on stage.
Speaker 1: She was so sick.
Speaker 3: It was like, oh, I felt so bad. I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: She's like, I'm nervous, I'm sick. It was too hot.
Speaker 1: This is like the worst fucking performance I've ever had.
Speaker 3: The lyrics actually, yeah, nervous, hot, I'm too sick. Sorry,
Speaker 3: this is the worst.
Speaker 1: So what happened with Justin Bieber? Because I saw headlines
Speaker 1: and it's just seeing people kind of break down is
Speaker 1: sowmat depressing to me?
Speaker 3: So I don't know, Yeah, he was just he just
Speaker 3: looked like he was off the ships. I don't know,
Speaker 3: he just did not look was he there he was performing? No, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: he was just like in the like crowd and ship
Speaker 3: and just like people were flicks at him. Okay, like
Speaker 3: he you know, he just looks like it looks super
Speaker 3: fucked up. Oh yeah, and like you know, we we
Speaker 3: just you see this all the time, like so many
Speaker 3: of these kids who start off like becoming celebrities really young.
Speaker 1: It's just it's.
Speaker 3: Always like such a dark path. Uh sound like good? God,
Speaker 3: I feel I hope, I hope you get better. Justin Bieber,
Speaker 3: this didn't look good.
Speaker 2: I can't wait until the TikTok kid stars today have
Speaker 2: their crashouts in twenty years, like the cute kid who's
Speaker 2: like thank you mommy for his meals or the.
Speaker 3: Rizler watch it. Yeah, that's gonna be bad.
Speaker 1: It'll probably be like at a at a Costco or
Speaker 1: some ship too.
Speaker 2: You know, they'll bring back the dooms. Have you guys
Speaker 2: talked about the doom meter?
Speaker 3: No? No, you know the booms?
Speaker 1: Right? Of course, everything, every every story we covered today's

Speaker 1: think we are Zach today blew my mind? Yeah, today
Speaker 1: only we're being honest. Let's talk about Pete Haig sat
Speaker 1: Zach fan? Are you a fan? You know?
Speaker 3: I I liked his early work.
Speaker 1: This guy so good. Not washing your hands.
Speaker 2: He's such a messy little bitch, which is okay. We've
Speaker 2: learned if you're president, but if you're secretary of Defense,
Speaker 2: you got to be a little serious about your.
Speaker 3: Job a little bit. That's one of the big ones. Yeah,
Speaker 3: he just likes being He's like, well, I have slick
Speaker 3: back hair, and I always have like an America handkerchief
Speaker 3: in my pocket, so I'm defensive.
Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense.
Speaker 2: I don't trust handsome people in roles where they should
Speaker 2: just know lots of things. There's a reason why they
Speaker 2: call Washington d C Hollywood for ugly people.
Speaker 3: It's because it's that. But they're smarter than.
Speaker 1: People in Hollywood. That's just and that's why they're taking
Speaker 1: Pete hagg Seth down. He's too beautiful. They're just jealous
Speaker 1: with his That should be his defense. With his current
Speaker 1: defense of you guys just hate me because you ain't me.
Speaker 1: Liberal media isn't really working. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I mean, look, we've there's been Signal Gate, Signal
Speaker 3: Gate two.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: Now NPR is reporting that inside the White House the
Speaker 3: search hath begun for a new drunken white supremacist super
Speaker 3: soldier to be Secretary of Defense. So yeah, I just
Speaker 3: I think we were all shocked just because he's terrible
Speaker 3: at his job and you know, like I just don't understand,
Speaker 3: and like his appointment has only led to more chaos
Speaker 3: within the Pentagon. Dude, this fucking this place has gone soft.
Speaker 3: I've been saying this for a long time. Mass firings
Speaker 3: are a good thing no matter what. And Pete Hegseth
Speaker 3: I think proved that. But over the weekend too, like
Speaker 3: all of the Hegseth flunkys at the Pentagon really did
Speaker 3: their best to try and make this a nonswen. It's
Speaker 3: like another day, another fake story, blowing stuff out of proportion.
Speaker 3: Like he know, he absolutely cares about the the like
Speaker 3: the safety of our our war fighters, our warriors, and yeah,
Speaker 3: like we said on Monday's episode, when hag Seth was
Speaker 3: speaking to the press at the White House, it looks
Speaker 3: now looking at what we know now, I'm like, oh, this.
Speaker 1: Guy really was. He was fighting for his life with
Speaker 1: he was tilting. Yeah, he was on edge. She's like
Speaker 1: looking at the camera, Zach, I don't assume that you
Speaker 1: watched Pete Hegseeth's interview at the White White House Easter egg.
Speaker 2: Roll But.
Speaker 1: Okay, interesting, good, Well it would be good because he
Speaker 1: is making deep eye contact with just down the barrel
Speaker 1: of the camera for no reason, and like in a
Speaker 1: way that's just feels really un media trained for somebody
Speaker 1: who's got their start being a talking head on television.
Speaker 1: But I think I think he's just kind of erratic
Speaker 1: and probably you know, six whiskeys deep. It's pretty late
Speaker 1: on Sunday morning.
Speaker 3: So I don't know. I mean, this is the one
Speaker 3: they wanted, you know, Like this is they were like,
Speaker 3: this guy will do the most damage and.
Speaker 1: Do it unflinchingly, unquestioningly.
Speaker 3: So I know, in terms of like the utter destruction
Speaker 3: of norms angle, I think they really wanted him, but
Speaker 3: who knows at this point. Yeah, I mean they might
Speaker 3: just honestly be like gets like a true like a
Speaker 3: like a war criminal out of like a cryo freeze
Speaker 3: that they reanimated to be like, and we.
Speaker 1: Got Andrew Jackson back, baby.
Speaker 3: But yeah, that's we will see where they go with this.
Speaker 3: But it sounds like basically because the Pentagon was just
Speaker 3: in full chaos mode, it was taking up too much
Speaker 3: of Trump's attention because.
Speaker 1: Then he can't golf, and He's like, well then I
Speaker 1: need to get rid of someone.
Speaker 3: But on that at that same Easter Egg event, someone
Speaker 3: asked him about he Pete Hegseth, and he was like,
Speaker 3: just ask the nineties banned the hooties, what they think
Speaker 3: of Pete heg Seth. This was him giving his semi
Speaker 3: vote of confidence to Pete Hegseeth as.
Speaker 1: The hoodies, how much ysfunction? There's run Peach's doing a great.
Speaker 3: Job, he said at not the Hoothies in Yemen. He's
Speaker 3: he was trying to reference the Hoothies who they were bombing.
Speaker 3: He said it was doing a good job. Ask the Hooties, well,
Speaker 3: all right, as.
Speaker 1: The Hoodies, how much ysfunctions? There's run, dude, he doesn't.
Speaker 1: He can't even get through a sense of swish. That's
Speaker 1: just the hoodies. But yeah, we're gonna fire him.
Speaker 3: All I can hear.
Speaker 2: All I can think is the hoodies as a synonym
Speaker 2: for boobs. And I'm trying to think of a situation
Speaker 2: where someone is like, asked the boobs if they had fun, and.
Speaker 3: It's like, who are you talking about?
Speaker 1: Sorry?
Speaker 3: I mean that up?
Speaker 1: Yeah, fire him, fire him, that was bad, Get rid
Speaker 1: of him, Get rid of him for a replacement. Because
Speaker 1: Trump is so television brained. Do we think he's going
Speaker 1: to try and go after the general from the.
Speaker 3: Those car insurance rate in town?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I feel like the General would be on a
Speaker 1: short list. I mean, at this point it could probably.
Speaker 1: It would probably even be like when Lacey Mosley dressed.
Speaker 3: As the General for Halloween that one year, that she
Speaker 3: would somehow be good enough get me that General. It's
Speaker 3: like that's Lacey Mosley. No, no, no, the Jed that
Speaker 3: that one, the beautiful one.
Speaker 2: We could bring in cap and Crunch from retirement.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean have him lead the way.
Speaker 1: He does have that mark on his record where the
Speaker 1: flub where oops all crunch berries. You know, he admitted
Speaker 1: up an admitted fuck.
Speaker 3: Upon must make clear.
Speaker 2: We make mistakes, we kill some people, we apologize for
Speaker 2: those mistakes.
Speaker 3: We're moving fast, and then we move fast.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean at this rate though, too. I didn't even
Speaker 3: believe they'd be like, we've actually brought back Dwight Eisenhower
Speaker 3: as an AI to make all the decisions. Who better
Speaker 3: then the great ike Dwight Eisenhower.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean like they'll they it'll just be someone that he.
Speaker 1: Can control and end of story. But I don't know.
Speaker 3: I mean, I think it's a good It's always a
Speaker 3: good sign when they can't stomach their own cabinet members
Speaker 3: so quickly, and then so quickly they're just like, yeah, bro.
Speaker 1: We don't. They're all fucking They're all suck at this
Speaker 1: and it's causing more problems.
Speaker 3: We thought once you once you enter office, everyone just
Speaker 3: blindly does what you say, even if it's illegal or immoral.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's only certain, only certain instances they do that.
Speaker 2: That's a beautiful frame, or just to be like, oh
Speaker 2: this is good. They're firing someone who did a bad thing.
Speaker 2: There's no there is a limit, there is a line.
Speaker 3: I think it's more that it's there. Just don't embarrass us,
Speaker 3: like do all the illegal shit. But the second now
Speaker 3: everyone's like, look at these fucking just completely inept people
Speaker 3: trying to be serious about running the government. I think
Speaker 3: that's where they have trouble because then they have to
Speaker 3: go out. They'll be like who hasn't leaked warp? Like
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like they have to do
Speaker 3: that same thing where they just like distill like a
Speaker 3: really terrible thing down to a very basic premise. Who
Speaker 3: hasn't leaked classified information ahead of a military strike.
Speaker 1: On the Hoho Thies?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: You get was?
Speaker 3: Yeah you get one?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Two? Never two?
Speaker 3: Exactly same thing with like you know this happened with
Speaker 3: what's his face? Like the former EPA guy during Trump's
Speaker 3: first what the fuck?
Speaker 1: Uh down?
Speaker 3: Completely fucking this up? What was his name?
Speaker 1: Uh? You got it, I got it, I got it.
Speaker 3: It's coming. Scott Prewitt Scott Yeah something Scott Prewitt from
Speaker 3: the EPA because he had to also resign. It was
Speaker 3: fine when he was doing all the earth fucking shit
Speaker 3: at the EPA, but when all these embarrassing stories came
Speaker 3: out about like buying weird mattresses and like using like
Speaker 3: police sirens to buy Dean and de Luca chocolate, that
Speaker 3: he was like, come the dude.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Trump's just like a mean girl, right, Like it's
Speaker 1: just the thing, the story that is embarrassing is the
Speaker 1: thing he's going to respond to. He doesn't give a
Speaker 1: fuck if it's like there's like procedural stuff or like
Speaker 1: a story that requires him to do reading or homework
Speaker 1: to understand why it's bad that you're going to be
Speaker 1: safe there. Right, it's just if it's something where people
Speaker 1: are like, oh, that's a bad look, he's gonna be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that guy, get it out of here. He hates a
Speaker 1: bad look. Yeah, yeah, so that's that's what you can't do.
Speaker 1: And like this has just the right shape of that.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying like he's definitely gonna get fired, but
Speaker 1: it just him leaked, So there was already the leak.
Speaker 1: It was a big bad story that they had to
Speaker 1: talk their way out of and like excuse me, and
Speaker 1: then him doing that to his wife and brother is
Speaker 1: just like so just on the surface, which is all
Speaker 1: Trump cares about, it looks really bad.
Speaker 3: It is because it is an escalation. The first one,
Speaker 3: it's like, fine, another guy arrently put this person in there.
Speaker 1: Pete Hegseth was on it.
Speaker 3: But now Pete haig Seth started and it's not even
Speaker 3: people that are part of the fucking government. You know,
Speaker 3: then how do you do this?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 2: I haven't seen the text, but have we considered these
Speaker 2: might this might have just been some sexting happening that's
Speaker 2: been misconstrued, just texting his wife like hey, baby, can't
Speaker 2: wait to blow up some stuff.
Speaker 1: To blow up them hooties?
Speaker 3: Yeah about mahu. Yeah wait till this FA eighteen strike
Speaker 3: package hits your base in Yemen at sixteen thirty PF. Yeah,
Speaker 3: well well whoa no, oh sorry, I'm describing the military
Speaker 3: strike back. Oh yeah, yeah, this is these are Yeah,
Speaker 3: this isn't sexting, Dave.
Speaker 1: This is insane.
Speaker 2: Why is your brother being invited to our.
Speaker 1: Yeah you know she's not into it, She's not. If
Speaker 1: she's out into it, you gotta go. That's fine. He
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be involved. He is just gonna watch. Yeah.
Speaker 3: We tried the white lotus thing. It's not working out.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. Also, just a thing that would be a
Speaker 1: you know, year defining scandal in a democratic administration. Christie
Speaker 1: gnomes perse got stolen with all her credentials inside and
Speaker 1: three thousand dollars of cash. That's just it's the sort
Speaker 1: of thing that won't make it won't even register for
Speaker 1: this administration. But also three thousand dollars is a suspiciously
Speaker 1: significant amount of cash for somebody to be holding. But
Speaker 1: maybe not. I don't know, is that what these people they.
Speaker 3: Just whenever I had over two hundred dollars on me
Speaker 3: cash and I and it wasn't in the context of
Speaker 3: me just coming from the bank, It's because.
Speaker 1: I was dealing drugs, right, that's me. But that's just me.
Speaker 3: For her, it could be bribes, it could be a
Speaker 3: scam or trying to be like I had three thousand.
Speaker 1: Dollars cash in there too, right yeah, yeah, But I
Speaker 1: don't know who that like. I don't know if there's
Speaker 1: like like I don't know if there's like an insurance
Speaker 1: policy you scam to be like, oh three thouskay, Well,
Speaker 1: she's just committing the most public insurance for up possible.
Speaker 1: I also had a tiny pig. I also had a
Speaker 1: tiny original Picasso.
Speaker 3: There, so's those other things. It was that she went
Speaker 3: to Capital Burger. It was at a burger place. Your
Speaker 3: fucking burgers are expensive.
Speaker 1: I know it is it at two in the morning,
Speaker 1: because in that case, she was absolutely fucked up. There's
Speaker 1: like no burger place. Yeah, losing your purse is some
Speaker 1: fucked up drunk person behavior. Yeah no, No.
Speaker 2: Grand is also in like the the sex work category
Speaker 2: of like hiring or being paid.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean it's like it is
Speaker 3: a fancy interior. It looks like a fancy fancy it's
Speaker 3: not like a five guys or whatever. But but yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, please tell us more about how we
Speaker 3: can keep America safe when you lost track of your
Speaker 3: fucking purse and just got that shit ganked at the
Speaker 3: burger restaurant.
Speaker 1: That's right, Yeah, not great. All right, let's uh, let's
Speaker 1: take a quick break and we'll come back and talk
Speaker 1: about the Girl Boss space flight. We'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back.
Speaker 3: We're back.
Speaker 2: What was your favorite ad jack that just played oh man.
Speaker 1: The one where Jeff Bezos came on himself and just
Speaker 1: talked to us about progressive politics and like how we
Speaker 1: need to forget about forget about them. But and let
Speaker 1: I think he said, just let me handle it.
Speaker 3: Jack guys, well the actual thing when he goes the
Speaker 3: progressive politics forget about.
Speaker 1: It, Jeff Bezos drunk. No anyways, Yeah, So this is
Speaker 1: one of those familiar positions of having to shoot down
Speaker 1: dumb conspiracies about something that itself sucks and is not
Speaker 1: worth defending. But there were so there was a ton
Speaker 1: of conspiracy theories last week that Kate So, Katy Perry
Speaker 1: and Gail King and Jeff Bezo's girlfriend and above.
Speaker 3: As for former local newsperson in Los Angeles, Yes, Foxst
Speaker 3: they went to space, came back and people were like,
Speaker 3: I don't believe it, because I think they were just
Speaker 3: like most people hadn't been paying attention when the billionaires
Speaker 3: were going to space and just like kind of dipping
Speaker 3: their toe in the space and being like, technically, we've
Speaker 3: been to space.
Speaker 1: In your face, everybody, I am an astronaut. Any questions
Speaker 1: an astronaut, and you will address me as such.
Speaker 2: The big astronaut story before this was people someone lived
Speaker 2: in space for not that couple, yes, like.
Speaker 3: Ninety or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that yeah, people were people were comparing pictures
Speaker 1: of Katie Perry on her like little ten minute space
Speaker 1: space in quote flight with pictures of the astronaut who
Speaker 1: had been there for six months, and they were like,
Speaker 1: that looks like space hair the woman who had been there,
Speaker 1: whose hair was just like flowing in all directions, whereas
Speaker 1: Katy Perry's hair was like still kind of neat and
Speaker 1: didn't look like it had even been hit by much
Speaker 1: wind to be honest. And people were like, that's she
Speaker 1: didn't actually go to space, and like that's true in
Speaker 1: the technical set.
Speaker 3: Like it's true that she went to space in the
Speaker 3: technical sense, right that she right, she crossed that threshold
Speaker 3: sixty two miles in the sky that now you are
Speaker 3: in space. But I think it's the micro gravity of
Speaker 3: it all that people were.
Speaker 1: Like, would your fucking micro grave the hair's does move? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's all and there's so one of the things
Speaker 1: they were pointing to was the hair. Another thing they
Speaker 1: were pointing to was that like when space capsules come
Speaker 1: back to Earth from being actually like in outside of
Speaker 1: the atmosphere. In space, they like get burnt and like
Speaker 1: you can see like the burn marks on them, and
Speaker 1: this one was nice and clean, and people were like,
Speaker 1: that's well, this just looks like they just like took
Speaker 1: it and placed it there. And of course that's because
Speaker 1: it didn't have to come It didn't. It didn't enter
Speaker 1: orbit and then have to come back through the atmosphere
Speaker 1: and like turn into a ball of fire. It just
Speaker 1: like hit the technical limit of space and then came back.
Speaker 1: It was like dipping its toe in a pool and
Speaker 1: then being like, I'm an Olympic swimmer.
Speaker 2: You know, and if you were faking it, you would
Speaker 2: muddy it a little, you would. This is like a
Speaker 2: rookie move to have a pristine capsule come back if
Speaker 2: you're gonna fake.
Speaker 1: It, right right.
Speaker 3: Yeah. There's also the thing about like Jeff Bezos opened
Speaker 3: the door inward.
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't know what the fuck that's
Speaker 1: supposed to mean.
Speaker 3: Wait, it's so funny the video. Have you seen it.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that.
Speaker 3: I haven't seen that clip. I saw that he goes up.
Speaker 2: They want this big moment where Jeff is like opening
Speaker 2: the capsule, but someone inside opens it before he gets there.
Speaker 2: They just landed, and they go to open it, and
Speaker 2: they're like the press persons like close it, close it
Speaker 2: because they want.
Speaker 3: This big like camera mode Jeff opening it. But they
Speaker 3: had already opened this. And I think that's the thing people,
Speaker 3: I mean, rightly, the people who have actually you know,
Speaker 3: used that as the main point of their critique. I
Speaker 3: think that's where it should because there's too many people
Speaker 3: who are like, who gives a shit at these broads
Speaker 3: when out of they're not fucking at like whatever. To
Speaker 3: that part, it's like it's the it's the the going
Speaker 3: along with the Jeff Bezos vanity space thing while like
Speaker 3: we're well, meanwhile on Earth everything is falling apart and
Speaker 3: we have terrible inequalities, Like come read the fucking room
Speaker 3: here for a second. Like that's I think. The more
Speaker 3: the critiques that I've read that, I'm like, yeah, that's
Speaker 3: that's a bad look.
Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently it takes a ton of jet fuel to
Speaker 1: like get this thing to the border of space. Like
Speaker 1: to the point that people were saying that this used
Speaker 1: this was as damaging to the environment as the entirety
Speaker 1: of Taylor Swift's eras Tour is that an actual measurement
Speaker 1: they did. I saw that somewhere, so I can tell that.
Speaker 1: I can tell you that I saw it on the internet.
Speaker 2: I did see that on the Why don't you guys
Speaker 2: support women reaching new heights? That's what I'm hearing. That's
Speaker 2: so why can't we let them?
Speaker 1: That's what's so frustrating about is it's just like the
Speaker 1: it's like they make us have to like side with like, well,
Speaker 1: what you're gonna be one of these right wing trolls
Speaker 1: that says that this is like artificial. It's like, well, no,
Speaker 1: I don't think it's artificial. It's just it's just superficial.
Speaker 3: It's just dumb, and it's just it's it's meaningless in
Speaker 3: the sense that like this is just helps bring more
Speaker 3: attention to Bezos's space program and Katie Perry's tour, which
Speaker 3: is so weird. And she's like flashing the set list
Speaker 3: like you're you're spending your time in space, like and
Speaker 3: my tour no one will go to. Here's a set
Speaker 3: list for you to see. Those are other parts. I'm
Speaker 3: just like such an eye roll. Meanwhile, they're like the
Speaker 3: two other people that were actual like scientists. I'm glad
Speaker 3: there are they aren't being Mary being mentioned in the
Speaker 3: same breath, because like those should beople actual scientists, right,
Speaker 3: Dale came at all?
Speaker 1: I don't know in the Laurens Loris Angeles of it all.
Speaker 2: Who knows, but it is it Sometimes people just use
Speaker 2: anything as a chance to express their hate for a
Speaker 2: specific person. Some of this feels very just like, oh,
Speaker 2: a lot of people just don't like Katie Perry. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this is yeah new fuel because they all deserve equal hate.
Speaker 2: If it's like the project at large.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all of the things that people are pointing out
Speaker 1: about this flight are true of like the many of
Speaker 1: the flights that like billionaires took to space, but because
Speaker 1: these are women, everybody is pissed off. Yeah, and like
Speaker 1: the returning up one of the ones they're like, look
Speaker 1: at this picture. There's like a dummy's hand in the
Speaker 1: capsule and it was like a capsule from like a
Speaker 1: test flight in twenty seventeen. They just like switched it
Speaker 1: in for like just to I don't know, it's like
Speaker 1: to make the case that, yeah.
Speaker 3: It's such a bigger l to like come after this thing.
Speaker 3: And then with the stupidest angle like dide you this
Speaker 3: picture from twenty seventeen. What not real?
Speaker 1: Why would they fake it?
Speaker 3: Yeah? This is in the Daily Mail. There was like
Speaker 3: this whole thing about like Katy Perry regretting Blue Origin
Speaker 3: flight and amidst continued criticism, It said after after insiders
Speaker 3: told Daily Mail after the flight sparked backlash that Perry
Speaker 3: has taken the criticism hard and was stunned by the
Speaker 3: public branding her quote tone deaf and quote embarrassing this
Speaker 3: with the insider said, Katie doesn't regret going to space.
Speaker 3: It was life changing. What she does regret is making
Speaker 3: a public spectacle out of it.
Speaker 2: M maybe maybe they need to take a book, a
Speaker 2: page out of like the peat hagscept book. Just don't
Speaker 2: change course, Katie Perrot.
Speaker 3: Just you did the thing. Stand by it.
Speaker 2: Don't admit you've done anything wrong.
Speaker 3: Just be proud of what you did.
Speaker 2: Just just makes it look weird, man. Yeah, the tour
Speaker 2: would y'all.
Speaker 3: I love free stuff. I would lie. I would go
Speaker 3: live on TikTok and see if I see even goes
Speaker 3: up that far.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean up up air. Maybe I
Speaker 1: want to say I have no desire to do that.
Speaker 3: I want to I mean, I want to go to
Speaker 3: outer space just generally as a sensation, but like if
Speaker 3: I have to do that and be one of like
Speaker 3: Jeff Bezos's like, uh little puppets on the ship.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that.
Speaker 3: So you do a SpaceX fight, then yeah yeah, SpaceX
Speaker 3: definite more for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, that one goes for the opportunity to
Speaker 1: shake hands with Jeff Bezos.
Speaker 3: No, that was I was like, always one of the
Speaker 3: highest thoughts I had in college was like, do you
Speaker 3: remember that guy Felix Bombgartner like jumped out of that
Speaker 3: hot air balloon from outer space?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: That to me, I was like, dude, I want to
Speaker 3: get so high and do that, like just purely, both
Speaker 3: literally and literally in both ways. Just just burn up,
Speaker 3: go up in that hot air balloon and be like
Speaker 3: I'm about to feel infinity all. That was the thing
Speaker 3: I'd always say.
Speaker 1: In college, like, dude, just feel all around you.
Speaker 3: That ship must be crazy. Yeah, that was my thing.
Speaker 2: So they need to take the six women that did
Speaker 2: the space fight and just hot box in a car
Speaker 2: and let's watch the same. Just get them as high
Speaker 2: as possible. I want to see Gail King high. I
Speaker 2: think she could go to space.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that way, she'd probably say some really interesting stuff,
Speaker 3: I'd imagine.
Speaker 1: All Right, I do just want to talk about the
Speaker 1: weekend box office. Ryan Coogler's Sinners beat a Minecraft Movie
Speaker 1: dethroned a Minecraft movie and became the number one movie
Speaker 1: at the box office. It made forty five point six
Speaker 1: million domestically sixty one million worldwide, beating expectations. It's the
Speaker 1: best opening for an original film since pre pandemic times.
Speaker 3: Wait, so, which one was?
Speaker 1: Oh? Us?
Speaker 3: So? Us was the last movie? Which was the original
Speaker 3: pre paet hunk? Okay, so another black hell interesting film
Speaker 3: that just it blew away expectations over perform warming people
Speaker 3: would say to be slightly pageorge. It's actually overperforming.
Speaker 1: Expectations are always low on these That's so weird when
Speaker 1: it's a black filmmaker about these filmmakers that they haven't come.
Speaker 1: Is Ryan Coogler black?
Speaker 3: I believe?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh nah, I couldn't be. I know a couple
Speaker 1: of guys named Ryan who aren't so of the Ryans.
Speaker 3: I know my homies Ryan all white.
Speaker 1: Guys, all white dude. But yeah, So there's a couple headlines.
Speaker 1: There's a variety story and a New York Times story
Speaker 1: that like on Sunday, so like the day that the
Speaker 1: box office is being like reported. It immediately had the
Speaker 1: backlash take of actually, this isn't that good. Oh so,
Speaker 1: Variety said, Sinners has a mass sixty one million in
Speaker 1: its global debut. It's a great result for an original,
Speaker 1: R rated horror film.
Speaker 3: Yet the Warner.
Speaker 1: Brothers release has a ninety million dollar price tag before
Speaker 1: global marketing, so profitability remains a ways away.
Speaker 3: Sounds like if it does even a fraction of what
Speaker 3: it did this first weekend, it's profitable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a ways away though, like multiple days. You
Speaker 1: know jet nover how we report on box office ever before.
Speaker 1: But in this case, for some.
Speaker 3: Reason, Variety can't get fucked. They were the same people
Speaker 3: that put out that dumb Rachel Zegler hit piece laying
Speaker 3: like the failures of snow White on at her feet
Speaker 3: and being like, I think it was because she's pro
Speaker 3: Palestinian and the and then you know she had to
Speaker 3: do her politics all out loud. That Galagha doc got
Speaker 3: death threats, and you're like, what is the meaning of
Speaker 3: this piece at all? Like this is nothing to do
Speaker 3: with the movie.
Speaker 2: Who are they in the pockets of like the studios.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's an and it's a trade. So like
Speaker 3: they all have direct sort like lines to heads of
Speaker 3: studios that are like, we need to you know, it's
Speaker 3: like any media. Really.
Speaker 2: I saw somewhere that the director gets the rights to
Speaker 2: this film back in twenty five years.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't.
Speaker 2: It's kind Yeah, I think studios want to take this
Speaker 2: down or not exactly.
Speaker 3: It's not just a pure win.
Speaker 1: It's just like this this could be everyone's like also
Speaker 1: spinning it as like a cautionary tale, like don't give
Speaker 1: the black creator too much now, because it's interesting to
Speaker 1: compare it to it once upon a time in Hollywood.
Speaker 1: Because so. The New York Times also claimed Sinner's success
Speaker 1: has a big asterisks, again arguing that profitability is far away,
Speaker 1: and they also pointed out, Zach, what you were talking
Speaker 1: about that Ryan Kugler gets to own the movie after
Speaker 1: twenty five years. The New York Times said, despite not
Speaker 1: paying for any of it, he gets to own it.
Speaker 1: You know, he only wrote, directed and conceived of it.
Speaker 3: But mask off sentence even though he didn't, he's not
Speaker 3: paying for it. Oh I'm sorry, mister will then own
Speaker 3: it despite not paying for it. Wow, let me bow
Speaker 3: and prostrate to the studio for exploiting my creativity.
Speaker 1: Like, what are you fucking talking about? I think? But yeah,
Speaker 1: so just real quick to compare it to once upon
Speaker 1: a time in Hollywood they had this same deal structure.
Speaker 1: First of all, Tarantino like got ownership of that movie
Speaker 1: after a number of years, So this is not as
Speaker 1: unprecedent as people are making it seem. One made forty
Speaker 1: five million on three thousand, three hundred screens after the pandemic,
Speaker 1: and Tarantino made forty one million, so less on three
Speaker 1: thousand and six hundred screens, so way more screens, which
Speaker 1: means that they had higher expectations. And when that movie
Speaker 1: came out, everyone was like, it's a certified box office
Speaker 1: smash for Quentin Tarantino.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, no, no it wasn't. I mean, I think
Speaker 3: just the other stuff you see so many handing, so
Speaker 3: much hand ringing, and like these other headlines.
Speaker 1: Like it could be the end of the studio system.
Speaker 3: M And I mean I think a lot of the
Speaker 3: q aroun quote unquote profitability. I'm sure they have nothing
Speaker 3: to do with the fact that, again Ryan Coogler in
Speaker 3: negotiating this deal masterfully. He also secured a first dollar
Speaker 3: gross deal, meaning he makes money the second tickets are sold.
Speaker 3: He gets a taste of the box office the second
Speaker 3: tickets starts selling, as opposed to then like waiting for
Speaker 3: the studio to recoup costs, and then you get a
Speaker 3: taste of those profits.
Speaker 1: Like it's they're like, oh god, this this black man
Speaker 1: is getting too much. Now, this could be the end
Speaker 1: of the studio system.
Speaker 3: Like that is just I feel like, so obviously what
Speaker 3: all of this is about. But yeah, sure they could
Speaker 3: be the end of the studio system. And who knows
Speaker 3: if it could be profitable even though they're projecting it's
Speaker 3: going to do three hundred million when everything's said and done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they, I mean, Hollywood's famous for managing expectations
Speaker 1: and like lying about how much money a movie made
Speaker 1: so that they can change how much money they're actually
Speaker 1: sharing with the artists who again made the movie. But
Speaker 1: they didn't even pay for it. Yeah, so I mean,
Speaker 1: why why should they get it? We should we should
Speaker 1: be worshiping the people, the capital, the people who put
Speaker 1: the capital up. Not it's not these artists who didn't
Speaker 1: even pay for it. It also just reminds me of
Speaker 1: that Sony Leak. I bring this up so often, but
Speaker 1: it's just such a revealing email exchange where a producer
Speaker 1: was arguing that the studio shouldn't invest in Denzel Washington
Speaker 1: because black actors don't perform well overseas. And this was
Speaker 1: not in nineteen eighty seven. They were talking about a
Speaker 1: sequel to The Equalizer, you know, after decades of Denzel
Speaker 1: being one of like the most surefire movie stars. So
Speaker 1: The Equalizer came out in twenty fourteen, was a massive hit,
Speaker 1: and this person was like, I just don't see it. Guys. Look,
Speaker 1: Denzel's my favorite actor. Okay, he's my favorite actor, my
Speaker 1: favorite actor, but we don't want to invest in this
Speaker 1: because you know, audiences abroad just aren't going to go
Speaker 1: see his movies. By the way, the Equalizer too grossed
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety million dollars on a sixty million
Speaker 1: dollar budget. But they just don't want to let black
Speaker 1: artists have success because that would mean that like the
Speaker 1: system that you know, gay makes it so that they
Speaker 1: have their jobs is wrong.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and it's it purely speaks to the
Speaker 3: exploitative nature of it too, Like we already don't properly
Speaker 3: compensate creators for things and to see something, especially like
Speaker 3: if a white creator, it's one thing, but if a
Speaker 3: black creator is doing it. Now we're talking about quote
Speaker 3: like the like an existential crisis over the studio system. Yeah, okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 3: well good luck with that. Good luck with that. I mean,
Speaker 3: even like in La and stuff, it's like, if you
Speaker 3: wanted to see Sinners like it was hard to catch,
Speaker 3: like certain screenings of it. It's because people are going, like,
Speaker 3: this is not some fucking flash in the pan thing.
Speaker 3: And it's also as of right now, it's like his
Speaker 3: highest rated film that he's put out. And yeah, reminder
Speaker 3: of the studios.
Speaker 1: Let people tell fucking original stories. They fucking people like
Speaker 1: new Ship not fucking snow White and all this other
Speaker 1: nonsense over and over again.
Speaker 2: I mean, I just wish that Minecraft and Centers had
Speaker 2: come out on the same day so we could have had.
Speaker 3: Miners.
Speaker 2: Miners, Yeah, that's Therbenheimer, so that everyone miners would be
Speaker 2: saving the studio system.
Speaker 1: Actually, that sounds kind of hot, scrafter.
Speaker 3: Crafter, that sounds like the problematic like opt themal optometry place.
Speaker 2: You go to.
Speaker 3: Oh, you went down to sincrafters, did you? I can
Speaker 3: tell from those transition lenses. Transition lenses, I don't I
Speaker 3: think so you went to sing draft.
Speaker 1: Not on my watch, Zach Zerraman. What a pleasure of
Speaker 1: having you on the daily Zeitgeist? Where can people find you?
Speaker 3: Follow you? See you all that good stuff on YouTube?

Speaker 2: zz double zz that's e z and then the word
Speaker 2: double and then zz.
Speaker 1: What are the people?
Speaker 3: What can they expect from the special?
Speaker 2: Give us a little oh an hour of gut busting, laughs, poilarity,
Speaker 2: some controversial statements.
Speaker 3: That's not true. It's pretty pretty easy.
Speaker 2: But I talk about I'd go on this little journey
Speaker 2: figure out the definition of love because my conservative family
Speaker 2: says they love me, but they go to the ballot
Speaker 2: box and vote against my rights. I talk about romantic love,
Speaker 2: self love and try to figure out like a good
Speaker 2: definition for it, and I come up to one at
Speaker 2: the end, but I don't want to spoil it's.
Speaker 1: A surprise, all right. Learned something about it was your father?
Speaker 1: Is there a work of media that you've been enjoying
Speaker 1: besides your own special.
Speaker 2: I am going through Black Mirror right now and just
Speaker 2: like lapping up that new season. But the thing I
Speaker 2: wanted to highlight James Acaster has a special called Heckler's Welcome,
Speaker 2: and I just I saw it live two years ago
Speaker 2: and I just screenshot a a clip and sent it
Speaker 2: to a friend where he talks about being told before
Speaker 2: a show that anxiety being anxious and excited or the same.
Speaker 2: It's just whether you have a positive outlook or not.
Speaker 2: And he's like, we all can agree that's a lie.
Speaker 2: For sixteen years, I've been backstage. I mean like I
Speaker 2: can't wait to get out there, like that's shaking. So
Speaker 2: that I think that moment just I felt very seen
Speaker 2: and so everyone should stream that special. That's good after
Speaker 2: years in that Concurrently, there's actually hidden if you play
