Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Speaker 1: Weekly Zeitgeist. These are some of our favorite segments from
Speaker 1: this week, all edited together into one NonStop infotainment laugh stravaganza.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, So, without further ado, here is the Weekly Zeitgeist.
Speaker 1: We are thrilled to be joined in our third seats
Speaker 1: by the author of the new book Overthinking About You,
Speaker 1: about the intersection of dating a mental health. You know
Speaker 1: her from Just Between Us. It's the brilliant and talented
Speaker 1: Alison Rasco. Oh, thank you for having me. I did
Speaker 1: not know any of that. About the Minions, Yeah, oh
Speaker 1: my god. Well I haven't seen one. I haven't seen
Speaker 1: a Despicable of Me. I haven't seen a Minion movie.
Speaker 1: I don't know about this rich history. Oh oh, there's
Speaker 1: so much going on and trouble Jack. Have you have
Speaker 1: you seen them all because of your kids? Or you
Speaker 1: just watch? I have, like not in order. It's like
Speaker 1: I'll walk in for a scene here and there, and
Speaker 1: but usually like if the kids are watching a movie,
Speaker 1: it's an opportunity to like go get adult things done.
Speaker 1: So but I've been sucked in for entire chunks of
Speaker 1: the Mingu movie. What is adult things? Do you like,
Speaker 1: go watch Meet Joe Black or something, just constantly paying bill,
Speaker 1: just bills, stacking up on my desk and then just
Speaker 1: mailing him out the door with a real haired look
Speaker 1: on my face. Yeah, yeah, no, I go watch Meet
Speaker 1: Joe Black. That's like the adult movie. I guess got
Speaker 1: adult things to do kids, like the True Love between
Speaker 1: the Grim Reaper and somebody who met the Grim Reaper's lady.
Speaker 1: I actually have never seen Meet Joe Black. I just
Speaker 1: my parents had it and it was two VHS tapes,
Speaker 1: so I was like, damn, that's were you kind of
Speaker 1: like walking into the room to make sure that they
Speaker 1: were occupied and then going to do kids stuff. Was
Speaker 1: it like a reverse of how I treat you? Were?
Speaker 1: Just like I need to make sure I was good
Speaker 1: to go watch Pinocchio and you can watch That's like
Speaker 1: you can watch Pinocchio three times. And the runtime of
Speaker 1: Meet Joe Black. That's true. Meetcho Black is very long.
Speaker 1: And my dad really loves it, like has has given
Speaker 1: like he doesn't give me a heartfelt so little queezed
Speaker 1: about much, but he has been like that Meet Joe
Speaker 1: Black is a hell of a film. Someone had to
Speaker 1: say it. He may be the first someone did, Alison,
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Where are you coming to us from?
Speaker 1: I'm in rainy Los Angeles. So no, it's billy going on.
Speaker 1: I don't know how to function, overwhelmed by the wetness.
Speaker 1: It's it's been, it's been rough. We're just like not,
Speaker 1: we're not built for it. And then every time it
Speaker 1: comes up, for like for people who live in cities
Speaker 1: that get snow, they're like, oh, shut the fuck up.
Speaker 1: For You're like, okay, but it's raining, and it's actually
Speaker 1: really hard for us. We're not built for it. It
Speaker 1: just falls apart right away. Like so it starts raining
Speaker 1: hard Friday night and someone to meet, Like one of
Speaker 1: the traffic lights in my neighborhood went down. A car
Speaker 1: immediately like sped through that intersection, knocked over like telephone
Speaker 1: electric pole, like knocked out power and internet to our
Speaker 1: entire neighborhood for the whole weekend. It's just like, this
Speaker 1: is just just rain, just rain. Yeah, my friends had
Speaker 1: another one where somebody hit a pole and then she
Speaker 1: lost power and she had to stay at my house
Speaker 1: for a night. Yeah, it's funny that it's not just
Speaker 1: the weather, it's people driving into poles seems to be
Speaker 1: a main cause of the issue. Yeah, fascinating. I didn't
Speaker 1: see that part coming. Yeah, yeah, just right away. There's
Speaker 1: a knocked over telephone pole. The trees are getting knocked
Speaker 1: over too, which I'm a little confused by. I think
Speaker 1: just the wind climate change. I'm not sure that's right.
Speaker 1: That's my catchphrase, the wind climate change. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: that in The Pope is your boss. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: the Pope is going to figure it out. What is
Speaker 1: something from your search history? And I'll start with you, Rachel,
Speaker 1: what's something from your search history? Something in my search
Speaker 1: history from today is a recipe for cookie dough stuffed
Speaker 1: homontoshin oh, which is a type of cookie to celebrate
Speaker 1: the holiday of Poorum, which is coming up there. You go, Okay,
Speaker 1: that sounds fancy, super delicious. Makes you want to text
Speaker 1: my friend Lere and be like, have you tried it?
Speaker 1: Would you try it? Is this sacrilegious? Where do you
Speaker 1: feel on the line of like this is good or
Speaker 1: or this is my grandmother would kill me if she
Speaker 1: knew if if you tried homontoshing, if you put cookie
Speaker 1: dough in hamatoshing. Oh, it's very unorthodox because the bass
Speaker 1: that I'm also doing is a chocolate chip cookie flavored bass,
Speaker 1: and so it's a cookie stuffed cookie, so completely non traditional. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think my grandmother would love it, honestly love that
Speaker 1: we're talking about, like that Pizza Hut would eventually have cheese,
Speaker 1: like find a way to stuff cheese into the cheese
Speaker 1: of their pizza yesterday. And you have like created a
Speaker 1: similar thought experiment that is like breaking my brain right now.
Speaker 1: How do you so it's like one type of cookie
Speaker 1: dough stuffed into another cookie. Yeah, it's chocolate chip cookie
Speaker 1: dough stuffed into essentially a triangular shaped chocolate chip cookie.
Speaker 1: It is the greatness of America on display right now.
Speaker 1: Does the dough get baked or it does? It's unbaked
Speaker 1: cookie dough, So you like baked the cookies and then
Speaker 1: stuff the unbaked dough inside. It'll all be baked together,
Speaker 1: but hypothetically the cookie dough stuffing will stay soft enough. Hmm.
Speaker 1: It sounds delicious. I want to liquefied and shoot it
Speaker 1: into my arteries. Yeah, I can make that happen for you.
Speaker 1: I just bought a stethoscope. Just called doctor Rachel. Everybody
Speaker 1: heard that she threatened me with murder. Did you hear
Speaker 1: that she just seemed accommodating to me? Victor? That's all
Speaker 1: I heard. What is something from your search history? Victor?
Speaker 1: I actually checked something in my search I checked something
Speaker 1: today so I could talk about it on the show
Speaker 1: in my search history, so it's recent search history. For
Speaker 1: ten years straight. I am the number one video result
Speaker 1: when you search for how to draw a penis. So
Speaker 1: if you google how to draw a penis, number one
Speaker 1: video result is me, and then I'm still champion. Yea,
Speaker 1: there you are? Are you drawing? How did this video
Speaker 1: come to be? I'll tell you how the video came
Speaker 1: to be. So a long time I also like have
Speaker 1: a production company, and so a long time ago I
Speaker 1: got a deal to do like a whole bunch of
Speaker 1: art videos where people were drawing on glass standing and
Speaker 1: then so I built inside the studio this glass that
Speaker 1: you could just drawn. And then so one day I
Speaker 1: was on the set and I put on a fake mustache,
Speaker 1: and then I I made a character, and then I
Speaker 1: taught people how to draw penis, and I put it online,
Speaker 1: and uh, it just kind of stuck around. It's amazing.
Speaker 1: It's in black and white. So it's very artistic. It's
Speaker 1: the artist for sure. I love this. It's on a
Speaker 1: dead YouTube channel. Like the dead YouTube channel version is
Speaker 1: the one that has stuck around forever, and so like
Speaker 1: my current it's on my current YouTube channel, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't have half as many views as on his dead channel.
Speaker 1: The voice you did for it is incredible. Thank you.
Speaker 1: I can't really hear the voice, but you were taking
Speaker 1: it very seriously with a very silly mustache. I do
Speaker 1: break during the video. I think that's part of the
Speaker 1: fun because my must mustache starts falling off at one
Speaker 1: point and I started laughing, but you're telling me that's
Speaker 1: not a real mustache. Sorry to disappoint you. I like
Speaker 1: think you chose to go for straight hair instead of curly.
Speaker 1: I feel like everyone that's naveryone's natural instinct, just like
Speaker 1: I'll do short and curly so but these are just
Speaker 1: like whispy hairs. Yeah. Yeah, the Penis's hair is like
Speaker 1: kind of yeah, very straight, like serious for all of
Speaker 1: that stuff too. So oh great have you when you
Speaker 1: hear it with sound, you'll know the truth. Yeah or
Speaker 1: Penis guys, it's amazing. Yeah, that's got to be like
Speaker 1: pretty pretty popular right, like, yeah, I just got so
Speaker 1: many extra views for that dead general. That's great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: try to find it on the real channel. Give show
Speaker 1: Victor your support. My goodness. Right now it is at
Speaker 1: one hundred ninety nine thousand views, so maybe you I
Speaker 1: feel lucky. You could be the two hundred thousandth view.
Speaker 1: That's really a game. What do they win an autographed
Speaker 1: penis drawing from from me? After I have studied under
Speaker 1: the tutelage of Victor Fartnato? What? Yeah? So that channel,
Speaker 1: that channel? Do you remember my damn channel that on YouTube?
Speaker 1: So yeah, they gave me a deal for this channel,
Speaker 1: but then they they like, so we started this channel
Speaker 1: comedy channel, and then they just imploded, and then so
Speaker 1: and then I never found the lot that I never
Speaker 1: not found, but I never got all the logging information back,
Speaker 1: so I can't. It's dead. It's just broken. If we
Speaker 1: had a dollar for every day every day video channel
Speaker 1: or magazine article, yeah, I just had to rescue all
Speaker 1: my stuff from a V clubs. So it's funny the lie, truly?
Speaker 1: What is something you think is overrated? Adam? Uh? Did
Speaker 1: you guys see that? Was it? The New Yorker The
Speaker 1: end of the English major thing. They saw it and
Speaker 1: then I said, I'm not cooking on that. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: it's this like so it's like one of those like
Speaker 1: very you know, typical, Like it's got this scare headline
Speaker 1: the end of the English major. And it's like Arizona
Speaker 1: State University is seeing a decline in people studying English
Speaker 1: and getting their degrees in English. Some colleges are saying
Speaker 1: like we don't have enough students to necessitate an English program,
Speaker 1: and it's like we focus so much on stam within
Speaker 1: the last like five ten years that people are not
Speaker 1: motivated to get their degree in English. And also there's
Speaker 1: like that that's typical like cell phone scare thing of
Speaker 1: like oh people have cell phones. They don't read books anymore.
Speaker 1: I mean this one professor's like I just got a self.
Speaker 1: I just got a smartphone, and I went from reading
Speaker 1: five novels a month to one novel a month because
Speaker 1: I'm reading all these websites. And it's like, like, okay,
Speaker 1: shut up there. I say, like, people don't want to
Speaker 1: study English because of this boring attitude. I hate when
Speaker 1: someone does something boring and then they're like this is news.
Speaker 1: You're like, it's not shut up, you got a phone,
Speaker 1: It's not my problem. Oh my god, exactly, and also
Speaker 1: like lamenting like I couldn't imagine assigning Middle March to
Speaker 1: today's English students, and it's like, well, maybe that's fine,
Speaker 1: Like maybe we do actually need a focus on STEM
Speaker 1: and we don't eat people like going into massive debt
Speaker 1: to get an English major, you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: Like if it's a specialty major or you can't get
Speaker 1: one at every college, maybe that's not a problem. Well
Speaker 1: I didn't even think. I mean, I'm like I saw
Speaker 1: some conversation going on around that piece that I would
Speaker 1: just think when I learned about something on Twitter, I'm like,
Speaker 1: probably safer to not interact with this and never learn
Speaker 1: what it is. That's sort of my current Twitter policy.
Speaker 1: But I did see people like say like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: there's also like it's such a common thing to like
Speaker 1: bully people who are like history or English majors that like,
Speaker 1: I would understand why people would be less willing to
Speaker 1: do it. And also like you're saying, like less willing
Speaker 1: to like if it was more accessible to get an
Speaker 1: English degree and you didn't need to go into six
Speaker 1: figure debt to do it, I'm sure that more people
Speaker 1: would want to. But if the price of college is
Speaker 1: going up, then it makes sense that like it would
Speaker 1: be more popular to get a degree that you could
Speaker 1: probably get a like almost certainly get a job in afterwards,
Speaker 1: which sucks because then it's like, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, it's it's bad. Yeah it's not great. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like that people are like, I'm on my grind, I
Speaker 1: got a major and angel investor v venture capital firms
Speaker 1: or where the fuck. I just hate the idea that
Speaker 1: they would blame it on phones. It's like, okay, well
Speaker 1: if phones are like, phones aren't gonna go anywhere, so
Speaker 1: a lot of people are. I don't know. It's like
Speaker 1: even like the rising popularity and like audio books, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you just need to find a way to consume the
Speaker 1: same thing that matches people's like consumption habits better right,
Speaker 1: chill out, Yes, chill out. Professor dork is a T
Speaker 1: shirt I have to say, coming to get can't that's
Speaker 1: a great T shirt. I was a philosophy major, so
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about useless majors. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: have my degree in art, so nice and screenwrit hot dogs,
Speaker 1: did you tell yeah, yeah, that's actually that's a trade,
Speaker 1: though philosophy not as not so much. Philosophy majors are
Speaker 1: all like, they're like, you could be a lawyer, or
Speaker 1: you could be a philosophy professor and teach other philosophy majors.
Speaker 1: The two genders. I consider you to be a philosopher,
Speaker 1: Jack O'Brien, Oh, that means so much to me. That's
Speaker 1: much better than lawyer. I consider you to be a lawyer, Jack,
Speaker 1: a closeted lawyer. You know, I've had boyfriends that have
Speaker 1: told me that when I argue with them that I
Speaker 1: would They're like, you know, you would make a great litigator,
Speaker 1: but it's meant to be insulting of course. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And all men are so bad at arguing with women
Speaker 1: that they are like, oh my god, yeah, what are
Speaker 1: you talking to? Their defense is wow, you're really you're
Speaker 1: winning this argument. Wow, you should be a professional bitch.
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe you should be You're like, maybe I will. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what is something you think is underrated? Oh? I mean
Speaker 1: just like Sandy's she's just not getting to do that
Speaker 1: she deserves, I think paying it to the just yeah,
Speaker 1: Sandy's recaps, Sandy's Eagles recaps deserve more than they're getting
Speaker 1: because they don't have a comment section. And I think
Speaker 1: people are just only are interested in parts of the
Speaker 1: Internet with their voices can be heard, and not just
Speaker 1: reading and learning. Because here's the thing. At first, at first,
Speaker 1: like this eagle Jackie was sitting on the nest and
Speaker 1: she was getting pelted with snow, and I was like,
Speaker 1: oh God, is she in trouble? And then I googled
Speaker 1: and I saw that actually eagles have several layers of
Speaker 1: feathers that keep them extremely warm, and their basic body
Speaker 1: temperatures one hundred and five degrees and they thrive and
Speaker 1: snow snow, And I was like, oh, okay, so she's
Speaker 1: fine as opposed to being like, somebody help her. Just
Speaker 1: google a fact once underrated facts. I want somebody do something.
Speaker 1: It turns out, yeah, they always seem to be in
Speaker 1: fairly inhospitable territory, like yeah, they're like on mountains and shit,
Speaker 1: yeah they live in Alaska and stuff. They're fine in
Speaker 1: Big Bear, right, Yeah, But it's all these it's just
Speaker 1: all la people being like that looks so cold. It
Speaker 1: was fifty here the other day, so I can identify.
Speaker 1: I know she doesn't have a fashion scarf, what will
Speaker 1: she do? Like, what if the eagle was wearing an
Speaker 1: Infinity scarf? Maybe if she had done that, the eggs
Speaker 1: have hatched a little bit FASTI exactly. I do have
Speaker 1: to give a shout out to the name Shadow because
Speaker 1: there was a there's a DJ named Shadow Stevens when
Speaker 1: I was young who did like he was like adult
Speaker 1: contemporary casey casum and that that name always stuck with
Speaker 1: me is like very over the top, but like kind
Speaker 1: of dope, like just Shadows Stevens. So I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: ahead and say Shadow is an underrated name to give
Speaker 1: your eagle or a child. J J. Yeah, I think
Speaker 1: it's an overrated name for a dog. Probably there's a
Speaker 1: lot of dogs named shadowy. But but what about a son?
Speaker 1: And that that is a powerful I would like to
Speaker 1: mean more shadows than Brashton's going forward. So people, can
Speaker 1: you know fix that you really hear the name that? Yeah,
Speaker 1: yelled at a kid in a subway like four years
Speaker 1: and I was like Brashton. You couldn't decide between Brandon
Speaker 1: and Ashton. Just we don't need mash up names, overrated
Speaker 1: mash up names. Just pick one stick to your decision.
Speaker 1: Trust yourself. You're making an indecisive child from that. Rashton
Speaker 1: is a very strong decision. That's just like you. You are, like,
Speaker 1: they need to be a snowboarder or a professional surfer
Speaker 1: or nothing. That's it. There are certain names where are
Speaker 1: just like, well, their fate is sealed. I guess. I
Speaker 1: guess Shadow would be one of those as well. So
Speaker 1: maybe I should shut the funk up on your kids. Shadow.
Speaker 1: So it's like Merlin, Like, there's a man. You can't
Speaker 1: just name someone Merlin. They have to be a music
Speaker 1: teacher or live in the woods. A baby named Merlin
Speaker 1: is really wild. I honestly, baby Merlin. I don't hate
Speaker 1: that idea, but it is a very kind of a
Speaker 1: scary thing to do to a child. Yeah, but then
Speaker 1: they just go with Merle to like kind of whatever
Speaker 1: their parents don't want them to do. Yeah, yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about the fifteen minute city and other stuff, and we're back,
Speaker 1: and we're back. Yea, we're back. So this story made
Speaker 1: me scream, oh good a technocratic solution. So it started
Speaker 1: like last week Biden was in Poland. He lauded the
Speaker 1: country for taking in more than one point five million
Speaker 1: Ukrainian refugees and said the American people are united in
Speaker 1: our resolve as well. And people were pointing out that
Speaker 1: as he was giving that speech, they were also introducing
Speaker 1: the toughest policies yet aimed at turning away migrants to
Speaker 1: the United States. And you know, one of the new
Speaker 1: rules is meant to replace Title forty two, which is
Speaker 1: set to expire soon. But they were posted online last
Speaker 1: week and our subject to a thirty day public comment period.
Speaker 1: But one of the big new things is the requirement
Speaker 1: for migrants to register using the Customs and Border Patrol
Speaker 1: smartphone app. And it's just a it's a bad it's
Speaker 1: a bad apps, as frequently happens when you just opened
Speaker 1: something up to the whole world using it. They launched
Speaker 1: the app in January to expedite the process for asylum seekers.
Speaker 1: It's been a goddamn nightmare because like it, people have
Speaker 1: recorded countless errors that force users to go through all
Speaker 1: the steps only to have a crash and restart in
Speaker 1: a seemingly endless cycle. For some reason, this reminded me
Speaker 1: of did you guys see the quarry Doctrom on Twitter
Speaker 1: talking about like this, like when he googled like a
Speaker 1: tie restaurant in his neighborhood, you know, googled it, went
Speaker 1: to the first result, which was the name of the restaurant,
Speaker 1: ordered food from it, and it like the top result
Speaker 1: was actually a Google ad that was like a cloned website.
Speaker 1: That was the entire existence of the company was just
Speaker 1: to create cloned websites of the restaurant you're looking for
Speaker 1: and then charge you fifteen percent more than the like
Speaker 1: that they'll actually put your order in. But they just
Speaker 1: like skim fifteen percent, and so they just like insert
Speaker 1: themselves into this, into this transaction and like find find
Speaker 1: little ways to to fuck you over get get some
Speaker 1: of your money without providing any service whatsoever. They just
Speaker 1: can see of most Internet companies though, right, like even
Speaker 1: your Amazons, which are like no we house like a
Speaker 1: bunch of like these little independent companies and really helping
Speaker 1: them get seen and sell product. And it's like sure,
Speaker 1: but you're taking a large percentage and when returns come
Speaker 1: they have to Like for example, if you buy a
Speaker 1: book on Kindle and decide to return it months later,
Speaker 1: which you can do, the authors then have to pay
Speaker 1: that money back to Amazon, right, Like they don't take
Speaker 1: any of the brick and mortar, like you know, consequences off.
Speaker 1: It's it's all in the same way that Grubhub if
Speaker 1: you return in order or something's not right with your order,
Speaker 1: they don't paint it on the driver or grub Hub
Speaker 1: the restaurant paste for that. Yeah, it just feels like
Speaker 1: we are not like the tech is not up to
Speaker 1: up to what we think it's up to. In a
Speaker 1: lot of cases like that, it's just yeah, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: I agree with you, but I think what the biggest
Speaker 1: problem is is that the hirer you get up in
Speaker 1: in the just like power or whatever, and the when
Speaker 1: people think they when people think they know what something
Speaker 1: is like they the government did not hire the best
Speaker 1: app developers. That's the real problem because it could have
Speaker 1: worked if they just hired the right people. But somewhere
Speaker 1: in the government somebody's like, my nephew does app development, Fine,
Speaker 1: we can just do this project. It snap, it's a
Speaker 1: nap what what how much? What do you have to dope?
Speaker 1: You can do it? And that's what happened, and then
Speaker 1: it blew up right because Canada had a similar thing
Speaker 1: if you were flying into Canada from outside of the
Speaker 1: country during COVID, and I think even now, like you
Speaker 1: have to scan your vaccination cards and then you have
Speaker 1: to like sign a bunch of stuff and you have
Speaker 1: to be vaccinated with a x amount of days, and
Speaker 1: then in order to get on your plane and then
Speaker 1: pass customs, you have to like show the results of
Speaker 1: this app that worked pretty well, I guess, which to
Speaker 1: me is much more streamlined. It's essentially just do you
Speaker 1: have the medical requirements to enter our country, as opposed
Speaker 1: to this app, which demands people stop in every country
Speaker 1: they pass on their way to America to be like, hey,
Speaker 1: can I seek asylum here and they're like no, go forward.
Speaker 1: But we're not working with those countries to like bring
Speaker 1: in that information into the app, And if it's glitchy,
Speaker 1: then I just I can only imagine it causing a
Speaker 1: lot of headaches for people who are literally fighting for
Speaker 1: their lives, as opposed to me, I was just trying
Speaker 1: to get to Toronto for a film festival. It seems
Speaker 1: like maybe something that a half assed app is not
Speaker 1: required here. Yeah, and then you're fleeing like a government
Speaker 1: that is trying to persecute and potentially like arrest or
Speaker 1: kill you. You might not have access to a charged
Speaker 1: smart phone. Then yeah, the internet. Say you're trying to
Speaker 1: send messages or help and you can't get rid of
Speaker 1: the pop up ads, and you're like, well that's what
Speaker 1: we can imagine. Yeah. We talked to a security expert
Speaker 1: on at the end of last week and we were
Speaker 1: talking about chat, GPT and like AI and they were like, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the thing that it's actually going to do is just
Speaker 1: make spam and pop ups like better at tricking you.
Speaker 1: Like that's what it's going to be. Alike with all technology,
Speaker 1: it's all just going to be used to create the
Speaker 1: lowest denominator ads and make them better at trigging you
Speaker 1: and stealing your information. Every new technology is usually adopted
Speaker 1: by the adult film industry first. Yeah, like and so
Speaker 1: I wonder what's going I don't know, but I wonder
Speaker 1: what's happening right now, because something's happening right con sites, Yeah,
Speaker 1: let us know what's going on, but they and there's
Speaker 1: just like they're not up to the task when it
Speaker 1: comes to this feels just true almost across the board
Speaker 1: over any considerable period of time, Like almost every company
Speaker 1: has a like information leak, like one of the CBPS
Speaker 1: subcontractors was hacked in twenty nineteen, exposing private information pertaining
Speaker 1: to thousands of random people. I was just like going
Speaker 1: back through like now that I can't have two factor
Speaker 1: authentication like through the Twitter app, I have to like
Speaker 1: have it through my iPhone. And like, as I was
Speaker 1: going back through that, I was like seeing all of
Speaker 1: the you know, old passwords that I no longer use,
Speaker 1: but still like they've all been exposed like leaked and
Speaker 1: you know hacked, like within the last like fifteen years.
Speaker 1: Like every company is exposing your private information like the
Speaker 1: because there's just like not an overarching incentive structure for them.
Speaker 1: They're just like, yeah, there's so many of these leaks
Speaker 1: and these hacks that like we, like the consumer can't
Speaker 1: keep track of all that shit, so we just kind
Speaker 1: of keep it moving. Now. It's just a notification that
Speaker 1: I get when I log into T Mobile, Like they
Speaker 1: don't even send out emails anymore, but when you log
Speaker 1: into your account, there'll just be a notification at the
Speaker 1: top like some of your information was leaked, And I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, oh cool, T Mobile, thanks, just know
Speaker 1: that your information is in a perpetual state of being leaked. Thanks, Yeah, exactly, Yeah,
Speaker 1: at and t same shit, like yeah there, that's why
Speaker 1: I suggest to everybody that you don't put anything online
Speaker 1: that you're not comfortable just you know, telling everybody in
Speaker 1: the world. Yeah. Yeahbody's making lots of money off of me,
Speaker 1: and I want to cut what like they're taking my
Speaker 1: information and they're making money on it from from the
Speaker 1: from the data leaks. You want your data slice, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I want my data slice. And it's like what I
Speaker 1: feel like, Yeah, but we're all worth fractions of opinion.
Speaker 1: It's just that, like we're one of three billion people
Speaker 1: who's like information they've they've leaked. Companies can pay me
Speaker 1: a lump some upfront like I do to use their apps,
Speaker 1: or they can pay me monthly based off of a percentage.
Speaker 1: I'll take money either way, totally fine to collect. Is
Speaker 1: there any technology that hasn't been completely like taken over
Speaker 1: by like spam or scams or like it. I guess
Speaker 1: like TV hasn't totally been it's just I mean it's
Speaker 1: been ruined by advertising. But yeah, just the scam this
Speaker 1: and so it's a gateway scam. Yeah, they're all the
Speaker 1: communication like the two way and for like phones, email,
Speaker 1: text is all just slowly being taken over by just
Speaker 1: made unusable at this point. You know what we still
Speaker 1: have in terms of unbothered two way communication is picto
Speaker 1: Chat on the original Nintendo DS. Nice. Yeah, nice still work.
Speaker 1: That's where we met. Yeah. Yeah, if your system works,
Speaker 1: it still works. There you go. Yeah, go to your
Speaker 1: brick and mortar stories, meet the people you buy things from.
Speaker 1: It feels good, it's better. So wait, what is picto
Speaker 1: Chat on the Nintendo DS? I missed that. I haven't
Speaker 1: played video games since and sixty four. Picto Chat was
Speaker 1: an app built into all of the original Nintendo DSS
Speaker 1: and DS lights where it's a two way communication system
Speaker 1: but it's local, so you have to be within like
Speaker 1: twenty feet or so of the other user in order
Speaker 1: for it to work. But you could like text to
Speaker 1: each other, draw little pictures. But there were no ads
Speaker 1: on it, so it's for talking shit about teachers essentially exactly.
Speaker 1: It was perfect for you in the backseat of a
Speaker 1: car even right, right, Okay, that makes sense. Pio chat. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now that we've said it, the advertisers are gonna see
Speaker 1: is on it? Have you guys seen Snow Piercer. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so like in that movie that just like in the prologue,
Speaker 1: like the news clip montage prologue, they're like, somebody put
Speaker 1: it to combat climate change. Somebody put a chemical into
Speaker 1: the atmosphere to like reflect the Sun's rays away from
Speaker 1: the Earth, and they like overdid it, and now the
Speaker 1: planet is ice planet and the only people who are
Speaker 1: alive are on this train. And that definitely scared me
Speaker 1: off of this idea. I'm like, no, but now the
Speaker 1: un is kind of floating it out there again. And
Speaker 1: there's there's a really good book, The Ministry for the Future,
Speaker 1: that is like somebody who really understands climate change in
Speaker 1: international geopolitical systems writing about how the future of climate
Speaker 1: change could most likely play out. And they also like
Speaker 1: bring this up quite a bit. I think the author's
Speaker 1: name is Kim Stanley Roberts. Yeah, the author's name is
Speaker 1: Kim Stanley Robinson. And there, Yeah, it's a it's a
Speaker 1: good book. It's worth reading. And one of the like
Speaker 1: things that happens in the book is there's like a
Speaker 1: massive heatwave in India that kills like millions of people
Speaker 1: and motivates that country to like go rogue and do
Speaker 1: their own like high atmosphere gas release that actually works
Speaker 1: to like cool the climate. But that is now like
Speaker 1: a thing that people are writing about in news article
Speaker 1: because news article in news articles, because like that where
Speaker 1: nobody is doing the things that we would need to
Speaker 1: do to stop polluting the planet enough to have catastrophic
Speaker 1: climate change. And so the solution is to put something
Speaker 1: in the atmosphere that would act similar to like what
Speaker 1: a volcanic eruption does, which is like, you know, the
Speaker 1: global temperature after a really significant volcanic eruption, the global
Speaker 1: temperature will drop by like a degree or two because
Speaker 1: of all the ash and the atmosphere and like the
Speaker 1: sun not reaching us as as much as it does
Speaker 1: without that stuff. So so bleak that like that, we're
Speaker 1: at this point where it's like it's so clear that
Speaker 1: there's not going to be any large scale action too.
Speaker 1: Yeah that it's like people are trying to think two
Speaker 1: steps ahead of like, well, there's no chance there's ever
Speaker 1: going to be any regulations that are significant enough to
Speaker 1: save the planet. So what if it's just I understand
Speaker 1: the logic behind it, but it's just like, oh, Jesus Christ,
Speaker 1: we're just never gonna get good climate change with legislation. Cool,
Speaker 1: just like fiddling with the thermostat is essentially what we've
Speaker 1: come up with, right, Yeah, you're like blowing the fucking
Speaker 1: Nintendo cartridge and hoping for the best and just put
Speaker 1: across the entire globe. Yeah, and that's what It's going
Speaker 1: to be really tricky to like get everybody on board
Speaker 1: with this, and like especially you know where it like
Speaker 1: right now, like the super wealthy are going to be
Speaker 1: the least affected by climate change and like probably in
Speaker 1: the near future. And so they're all going to the
Speaker 1: Denver Airport and they're gonna, you know, weigh it out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's it? What's the Denver Airport conspiracy theories that like
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of there's a tunnel city underneath it. Yeah, yeah, now, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a kid, there's a bunch of there's a bunch
Speaker 1: of tunnels. There's some girl Scouts in the nineties that
Speaker 1: claim that they saw the rich people tunnel holes and
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, but no one ever brought up the tunnels.
Speaker 1: Why did the girl Scouts get the tour of the
Speaker 1: rich people tunnels? I couldn't tell you all I know
Speaker 1: is there's Asian girl scouts that have been at the tunnel,
Speaker 1: and yeah, they're they're gonna go down there. They're gonna
Speaker 1: they're gonna live well while the rest of us burned
Speaker 1: to a crisp I think is the plane or you know,
Speaker 1: freeze you, depending on where things go. But that's why
Speaker 1: the Denver Airport is allegedly scary. I believe it. There's
Speaker 1: like a really freaky mosaic there too, of like people
Speaker 1: in gas masks and stuff like out of nowhere. A
Speaker 1: lot of Holocaust imagery. Yeah, there's gargoyles at baggage claim.
Speaker 1: There's that big scary horse, yeah that with the glowing
Speaker 1: red eyes whose like leg fell off and killed the
Speaker 1: sculptor that was creating it. There's a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: going on at the Denver Airport. I love getting stuck there.
Speaker 1: It makes me feel like I'm in uh B movie.
Speaker 1: It's exciting. It is. It's got a it's got a
Speaker 1: super villain layer feel. Anyway. Yeah, big big minions, big
Speaker 1: grew energy to the Denver Airport crew energy minions work there.
Speaker 1: That's how you know shit's going down. But okay, so
Speaker 1: they're gonna so the back to this study we're talking about. Yeah, so,
Speaker 1: I mean it's just the the un EP, which is
Speaker 1: the uns like Environmental something or other wrote that like,
Speaker 1: with the world not responding to the climate change urgently enough,
Speaker 1: a speculative group of technologies to reflect sunlight back away
Speaker 1: from the Earth has been getting more attention recently, and
Speaker 1: they're like, it doesn't it isn't ready for prime time yet,
Speaker 1: but this view may change if climate action remains insufficient,
Speaker 1: the report says, signaling that it's time for rigorous study
Speaker 1: of both the technologies and the potential international governance, which
Speaker 1: seems like the tricky part. Do they have the chemical?
Speaker 1: Like do they know what it would be? It's just
Speaker 1: a matter of or is it just like we'd have
Speaker 1: to put in a lot of research to find the
Speaker 1: chemical that would you know, mimic volcanic ash. I think
Speaker 1: they have some theories, but it's also like one of
Speaker 1: those things that you do. It's not really a thing
Speaker 1: that you want to like go with the guess and
Speaker 1: check like method on changing the global temperature. It's the
Speaker 1: one and done. Yeah, yeah, see how it goes there.
Speaker 1: I guess my my question here and this is has
Speaker 1: to do with the fact that I don't know how
Speaker 1: the UN works really, but if like as like if
Speaker 1: this is a suggestion being brought by their kind of
Speaker 1: environmental team, what why why would the world agree? Like
Speaker 1: why would all of the nations in the UN be
Speaker 1: able to agree on this proposition if they already cannot
Speaker 1: agree on other climate change action? Like right, that's yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the climate change action requires them to make
Speaker 1: sacrifices and do things that aren't that are like not profitable,
Speaker 1: whereas like our entire you know, programming, all our coding
Speaker 1: as a civilization has like built itself up to the
Speaker 1: point that it's like that is impossible to do something
Speaker 1: that is not not like operating in the most efficient
Speaker 1: way for shareholder value, it seems like right, and so
Speaker 1: they're just like does not compute, Like there's just like
Speaker 1: spark They're the wiring behind their eyes or is like
Speaker 1: sparking every time that you try and get them to
Speaker 1: do some sort of climate change action or you know,
Speaker 1: like one of the big thought systems is like what
Speaker 1: about not gearing everything towards growth and that are like
Speaker 1: what like just blinking thirty times, like because it's not
Speaker 1: sustainable and we'll blow up Um, so, so this would
Speaker 1: be like an opportunity to circumvent like or try to
Speaker 1: have it both ways. Yeah, creating the technology. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: it's like probably just more more jobs created. We're going
Speaker 1: to create some jobs sending people into the stratosphere to
Speaker 1: spray volcanic ash or Yeah. I mean, I don't think
Speaker 1: it's like I don't think they're necessarily trying to exactly
Speaker 1: mimic volcanic ash. I think just volcanic eruptions are the
Speaker 1: thing that has like given them this idea essentially, But
Speaker 1: it does seem like something we want to be really
Speaker 1: careful with and also something that's going to be incredibly
Speaker 1: hard to get everybody to agree on. And yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: sure there's a way that the wealthy people who actually
Speaker 1: control like what decisions get made are going to fuck
Speaker 1: this up for the rest of us, right unless there's
Speaker 1: like some valuable contract to be gotten from from having
Speaker 1: done it, Like I think part of them, like they've
Speaker 1: bought all that all that property in New Zealand, like
Speaker 1: they're they I'm sure there's like at least a good
Speaker 1: portion of the population who like meet up in Davos
Speaker 1: every year who are just like we kind of want this.
Speaker 1: It seems like it would be fun and we would
Speaker 1: get to like repopulate the earth because we're they floating mansions.
Speaker 1: Yeah like that. So they're like, why I don't. I
Speaker 1: don't want to have wasted that money. So I could
Speaker 1: I could see even if this does turn out to
Speaker 1: be a good idea, I could see this being sort
Speaker 1: of hitting some headwinds. Yea, as they say, it sounds
Speaker 1: too much like the plot of a Michael Bay movie
Speaker 1: for someone to not completely fuck it up. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Michael's Bay and Creighton come together to write a
Speaker 1: science fiction film that is our future. Sure it turns out, yeah, well,
Speaker 1: as long as there's a weird little Graham Cracker inspired
Speaker 1: sex scene. It's like the the Denver Airport thing. Like, really,
Speaker 1: I do believe that even if it's not at the
Speaker 1: Denver Airport, like they we've already like uncovered historical documents
Speaker 1: that these exist, Like there's a West Virginia resort that
Speaker 1: secretly had like a massive underground habitat for the president
Speaker 1: and like the leaders of the United States in the
Speaker 1: event of nuclear armageddon that was like there throughout the
Speaker 1: Cold War in case they needed it. And now you
Speaker 1: can like go and take tours of it. But because
Speaker 1: it was like far enough into history, we just are like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's quaint. But there's there's no way that, like Bezos
Speaker 1: doesn't have at least like five of these already like
Speaker 1: under construction. Like, yeah, I true, Like I'm not a
Speaker 1: very conspirat. I'm not a conspiratory I mean whatever, Zeke Gang,
Speaker 1: We've we've been together for a long time. I'm not
Speaker 1: a conspiratorially minded person. But this one, I fully like,
Speaker 1: if you've got evidence that it's not true, I'd love
Speaker 1: to see it, because why would you build an airport
Speaker 1: like that. It's the worst airport in the world. It's
Speaker 1: so weird, it's so far away from Denver, it's so
Speaker 1: like just sprawling and strange. They're just counting on that.
Speaker 1: But then also I'm like, maybe it's not true. Every
Speaker 1: going to Denver makes me lightheaded and gives me a nosebleed.
Speaker 1: Maybe my brain cells are not operating as they were
Speaker 1: intended while I'm at this airport. But I do I
Speaker 1: believe in the theory. Look up The Girl Scouts. That
Speaker 1: sounds also like a Michael Bay movie, The Girl Scouts. No,
Speaker 1: you gotta find the Girl Scouts. Cut to Christina Hendrix,
Speaker 1: a Girl Scout ner forty's being like I saw it.
Speaker 1: I saw it. Yeah, like the like in a post
Speaker 1: apocalyptic setting, like with people like wandering the earth. They
Speaker 1: just like put a bunch of like scary art up
Speaker 1: around to be like, don't come here, this isn't. This
Speaker 1: isn't where you wanna be, wandering band of cannibals. That's
Speaker 1: my loose theory. We'll sick the demon horse on you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've seen, I've I've seen it might have been TikTok's,
Speaker 1: but I don't remember at this point. Like, employees of
Speaker 1: the Denver Airport seem to be conditioned to kind of
Speaker 1: like lightly engaged with this if it's brought up to them,
Speaker 1: where they're like, oh, I don't know. Yeah, if you
Speaker 1: have any information on this, that's not just like the
Speaker 1: standard Wikipedia article, but like, yeah, hit us up if
Speaker 1: if you work there, if you know somebody works there,
Speaker 1: let us know. Yeah, don't don't bother me with anything
Speaker 1: before results page like seventeen, because I've seen it. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take you a quick break. We'll come back. We'll
Speaker 1: talk elon Musk and we're back and Rhonda Santis has
Speaker 1: a book dropping competition and there's a whole chapter you
Speaker 1: were in touch with his people about trying to like
Speaker 1: get his moved back a little bit. But yes, I did.
Speaker 1: I did, uh speak to the enemy, and he assured
Speaker 1: me that he was going to be well out of
Speaker 1: my release thing. Yeah, you know whatever, fine, it seems.
Speaker 1: So there's also like he he had a press conference
Speaker 1: where I think he is officially, you know, signing a
Speaker 1: bill allowing the state to take control of Disney World's
Speaker 1: tax district away from them or like to yeah, basically
Speaker 1: like not letting them have the same powers as a religion.
Speaker 1: And he did. The corporate kingdom finally comes to an
Speaker 1: end with which feels, I don't know, like he's doing
Speaker 1: this because they criticized his don't say gay law. So
Speaker 1: but but it is frustrating to me that like battling
Speaker 1: corporations have gotten away with too much for way too long,
Speaker 1: Like is like that's a winner, Like politically, that's going
Speaker 1: to be a winner like from now on, because people
Speaker 1: I think are like waking up to the fact that
Speaker 1: like that is the real enemy. And it's just frustrating
Speaker 1: that the only side that is able to do anything
Speaker 1: about it or willing to do anything about it, or
Speaker 1: the fascists like because the center is yeah, but yeah,
Speaker 1: real broken clock behavior going on. Yeah yeah, but they'll
Speaker 1: see that this is popular and I'm assuming maybe catch on,
Speaker 1: maybe not. I don't know, but people are speculating the timeling.
Speaker 1: The timing of his big move to fuck with Disney
Speaker 1: isn't Quinn sidental because he has a new book coming
Speaker 1: out on Tuesday, The Courage to Be Free. Oh Jesus,
Speaker 1: there has to be five hundred books by fascist titled
Speaker 1: that already, Like I feel like you've got to really,
Speaker 1: that's not gonna that's not even gonna stand out on
Speaker 1: the fascist shelf from this year if you call like,
Speaker 1: if your book has the word free in it, maybe
Speaker 1: it should be free. And it's like pretty standard, Like
Speaker 1: what like I feel like if you just asked me
Speaker 1: to write this book on like in an afternoon, it
Speaker 1: sounds like it's what I would come up with. Like
Speaker 1: it's just he's railing against elites who taught him at
Speaker 1: Yale and Harvard Law schools. It's like he's a student
Speaker 1: at Yale and Harvard Law school and he's like these
Speaker 1: elites you know, he uses the word elite twenty pages,
Speaker 1: twenty times in twelve pages. But I think the thing
Speaker 1: that a lot of people are surprised by is that
Speaker 1: he devotes an entire chapter to excusing the fact that
Speaker 1: he got married in Disney World. I think that could
Speaker 1: be a whole that could be a whole other book
Speaker 1: of explain why the hell he did that? Why the
Speaker 1: hell he did that? Right? Has he offered any explanations? Yeah,
Speaker 1: you will be shocked to learn that he blames it
Speaker 1: all on his wife. And that's so out of character
Speaker 1: for such a such a person as his dream month run.
Speaker 1: I'm struggling to believe it. Struggling, I really can't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he is truly, uh, pure evil, and I'm
Speaker 1: very afraid of him. And also, um, I can totally
Speaker 1: imagine him being like, well, you know, my wife, my
Speaker 1: little princess had to get married at the castle like
Speaker 1: each he did. Uh. This is the direct quote. Casey's
Speaker 1: family was what one might call a family of Disney enthusiasts.
Speaker 1: They loved going to Disney work. Like saying someone is
Speaker 1: what one might call like that's never hurt, that's never
Speaker 1: not condescending, or like dismissive. That sentence is wearing. That's
Speaker 1: like it is nowhere near the only thing one might
Speaker 1: call Those people. Yeah, those one could sort any things.
Speaker 1: And I'm glad you did explain for his the people
Speaker 1: that are going to be buying the book who won't
Speaker 1: know what enthusiast means. They explain that he said they
Speaker 1: love going where the big three circle make a mouse.
Speaker 1: Then I really hope, I hope this turns into a
Speaker 1: very low grade embarrassing thing for him where they're like,
Speaker 1: someone has five thousand pictures of Ronda Santis enthusiastically hugging
Speaker 1: Goofy at the past and they're like, weird, you said
Speaker 1: you weren't really into that wild Yes, like you know
Speaker 1: some Disney like like a crew member definitely snaps some
Speaker 1: picks in the tunnels. He does claim that he had
Speaker 1: one stipulation that was that like, there couldn't be any
Speaker 1: Disney characters at the wedding ceremony, but there's no word
Speaker 1: about like his friend Scoofy would be so pissed if
Speaker 1: his bedroom. Yeah yeah, the bedroom, the wedding bedroom didn't
Speaker 1: say anything about the bachelor party. Yeah yeah, oh my god,
Speaker 1: involved to get interested of course getting he definitely got goofy,
Speaker 1: got goofy with his with his wife. I do feel
Speaker 1: like if you are working at Disney World, you and
Speaker 1: Ron de Santis gets on Expedition Everest. If you work there,
Speaker 1: you're allowed to make the roller coaster crash. Yeah, You're
Speaker 1: allowed to fall asleep at the control. You're allowed to
Speaker 1: remove a section of dress. Oh yeah, you can take
Speaker 1: it off. You can do a little detour. Just let
Speaker 1: it go, let it, let it go straight off the
Speaker 1: off the deep end for sure. Sort Of suddenly he's
Speaker 1: like riding haunted mansion. He sort of doesn't come out
Speaker 1: than comes part of it. And if you so much
Speaker 1: more profitable, not only will your taxation problems go away, Disney,
Speaker 1: but you'll have like a legit haunted mansion. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: ghost law is so much more lenient. So like that's huge, huge,
Speaker 1: that's true. Yeah. So he was just, according to him,
Speaker 1: just being a dutiful groom to be until now when
Speaker 1: he just threw his wife and her family under under
Speaker 1: under the tram in print forever. So like it's so
Speaker 1: for him to be kind of playing coy about. Like
Speaker 1: I guess getting married at Disney is a thing that
Speaker 1: people do. It's like, if you are a Floridian human being,
Speaker 1: you know at least one million people who have gotten
Speaker 1: married at Disney. If you've been to Disney, you've seen
Speaker 1: people getting married on Yeah, Goofy's Goofy's barn Storm roller coaster,
Speaker 1: and and it's like, people talk all day long about
Speaker 1: wanting to get me married to Disney. So many people
Speaker 1: we grew up with were like, I'm gonna go ahead
Speaker 1: and be doing that, and being a Disney adult, it's
Speaker 1: a Florida staple. I feel like growing up, I we
Speaker 1: had friends who went all like every month to Disney,
Speaker 1: and then I was like, that's so. I was talking
Speaker 1: to my mom with day and I was like, it's
Speaker 1: so crazy because it's like we like never went to
Speaker 1: Disney and all our friends were wearing all the time,
Speaker 1: and she was like, we literally went once a year.
Speaker 1: I was like, period for sure. And I remembered that,
Speaker 1: and I remember that and I remembered it for real.
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, it's like, if you're in Florida, you're
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and know that people are chomping at
Speaker 1: the bit to get married in Mickey's lap. So I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like the concept of like Disney adults. I feel
Speaker 1: like it's like that like term has been coined, I
Speaker 1: guess sort of recently, but it's like been a thing
Speaker 1: for as long as the person I had an aunt.
Speaker 1: Oh I I she's still alive, but her house like
Speaker 1: it's I was. I was seven and it frightened me
Speaker 1: the amount of items and things that were there. And
Speaker 1: I I mean, look, I like going to Disney World.
Speaker 1: When I go, I'm smiling, yeah, happy, yeah, literally, dreams
Speaker 1: come true. I'm gonna good hot dogs, the turkey turkey legs,
Speaker 1: the fut turkey legs. I'm the grinning when this is happening.
Speaker 1: I'll get married at the turkey leg stand. Yeah, as
Speaker 1: far as I'll go, I'll marry a turkey leg. I
Speaker 1: can eat a hole one of those when I was
Speaker 1: three years and that's normal for a person to do.
Speaker 1: And yeah, no, me, it's healthy that in an eight
Speaker 1: foot gators how you know. Yeah, of course, Disney adult
Speaker 1: is as old as time, and it's seeming to DeSantis
Speaker 1: seems to be a Disney adult himself and kind of
Speaker 1: being fry about undercover Disney adults. You know, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, he's got some ears hidden away somewhere for sure.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well we can't in good faith hand it
Speaker 1: to Ron de Santis ever under any but I am
Speaker 1: I am that. I like that that precedent is being set.
Speaker 1: I hate that it's being set by a fascist. That
Speaker 1: makes my head hurt, absolutely yeah, And clearly it has
Speaker 1: like to do with very complicated feelings he has and
Speaker 1: like spurned like they didn't. They wouldn't do the thing
Speaker 1: that he wanted. They wouldn't let him. Like where the
Speaker 1: Prince the actual like screen accurate Prince Eric costume to
Speaker 1: sing a Whole New World at his that's the wrong movie.
Speaker 1: I think he didn't get to select a princess as
Speaker 1: his bride. That's true, that's true. Damn all right, I
Speaker 1: mean Havanna syndrome. We it's there's not much new to
Speaker 1: report other than like that an intelligence intelligence report is
Speaker 1: drawing the same conclusion that we've drawn on this show.
Speaker 1: That is that like this weird thing where they were
Speaker 1: like we're being attacked by sound weapons. Our CI agents
Speaker 1: in Cuba are being attacked by invisible sound weapons and
Speaker 1: now they all have vertigo and have like can't function.
Speaker 1: That it was actually like a psychogenic like type mass
Speaker 1: hysteria is like one way that people describe it. But
Speaker 1: like there they study this. It's called a function disorder,
Speaker 1: a functional disorder. It's like there is an entire medical
Speaker 1: field to it. There was a New York Times article
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen that was like, this is what it is,
Speaker 1: like we we've talked to experts. It's definitely this a
Speaker 1: functional disorder, where like the same thing that has caused
Speaker 1: outbreaks of sickness from the beginning of time. Where it's
Speaker 1: like confusing, but it seemed like one person is experiencing
Speaker 1: symptoms and then everybody suddenly starts experiencing them. It can
Speaker 1: make you sick. They're not consciously making it up. It's
Speaker 1: just a thing that is not being caused by invisible
Speaker 1: science fiction weapons. But they like all the coverage of
Speaker 1: it just leaves the functional disorder part out, and they're
Speaker 1: just like, we don't know what happened, guys, and so
Speaker 1: they just keep bringing it up and then not explaining
Speaker 1: what actually happened. So I think it's very confusing to Yeah,
Speaker 1: it in my in my googling tons of it, I
Speaker 1: was like every single piece, it's like, yeah, there's all
Speaker 1: this research that kind of explains this phenomenon of mass
Speaker 1: hysteria kind of caused by this, like you know, everybody
Speaker 1: believing something so hard that it makes them physically sick.
Speaker 1: But it also could be kind of a bit of
Speaker 1: a laser or kind of something. But yeah, they're literally
Speaker 1: like the use of the word beam, lots of beams. Yeah, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: a few dudes had a headache in Cuba and now
Speaker 1: we're being attacked by aliens. It's kind of well, it's
Speaker 1: everyone know, it's like kind of their like Russia's got
Speaker 1: their beam on us, and so now my tummy hurts, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it also and also is this is this it
Speaker 1: may be a radical oversimplification and an inspiring stupidification of
Speaker 1: this of what we're actually talking abou about. Is it
Speaker 1: sort of akin to what we've been seeing? Hate to
Speaker 1: bring it back to TikTok? Love to bring it back
Speaker 1: to TikTok? Is it akin to what we've been seeing
Speaker 1: where sort of anti vax creators will be posting videos
Speaker 1: of their feet shaking and be like thanks Spiser, like,
Speaker 1: is it kind of is it? Like? And then some way,
Speaker 1: because I think that some of those people are like
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of them are just doing
Speaker 1: a little fancy footwork and saying thanks Spiser. And I'm
Speaker 1: not denying. I'm not denying that these people in Cuba
Speaker 1: had headaches. I would never I would never deny that
Speaker 1: I would I would never want to say that I
Speaker 1: have a headache and then a whole nation saying no,
Speaker 1: you don't actually have a headache, and say it is
Speaker 1: a horrible position that they're in, Like that's what sucks
Speaker 1: about this is like nobody who has ever had functional
Speaker 1: disorder is like glad to hear that diagnosis. No, no way,
Speaker 1: by the way, you're making it all up. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I'm sure a lot of the people who
Speaker 1: are suffering the vaccines and you know side effects that
Speaker 1: we see on TikTok believe what they're feeling, you know,
Speaker 1: like believe that what they're having is from vaccines and
Speaker 1: they're doing they're they definitely think that they they're a
Speaker 1: lot of them. There are definitely people that are just
Speaker 1: put putting on a show, doing the doing the vaccine shuffle,
Speaker 1: but then there's definitely doing the stinky like. But there
Speaker 1: there's definitely people who yeah, just like get so worked up.
Speaker 1: They're just trembling there. Yeah, I'm sure it's like they
Speaker 1: worked themselves into these people who are like, you know,
Speaker 1: probably not super over familiar with the intercacies of their
Speaker 1: own mental illness and how to handle it. They're like,
Speaker 1: they probably work themselves into a panic attack and then
Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, we're covering you know class, which is
Speaker 1: like makes the Internet the worst possible place to even
Speaker 1: address any of this. There's just no way to to
Speaker 1: like with any sort of nuance or care addressed, like
Speaker 1: because it's just a bunch of people that are like,
Speaker 1: you're you're losing it, like you're yeah, Yeah, It's it's
Speaker 1: like a bit of a rock and a hard place,
Speaker 1: because it's like everything about this it's like either you
Speaker 1: have a mental disorder so strong it's making you physically
Speaker 1: sick and it's coming from within, or you're being attacked
Speaker 1: by a beam. It's like either either you are batshit
Speaker 1: cuckoo bananas and can't change, or there are lasers pointed
Speaker 1: directly at you. It's like one and you're like turning
Speaker 1: to TikTok for assistance. Like it's just very bleak. It's
Speaker 1: very good. Yeah, it's also it's so clearly it's so
Speaker 1: clearly the opposite of like what the I guess like
Speaker 1: people who are on the right at large are like
Speaker 1: TikTok is manufacturing mental illnesses and selling them to our teens,
Speaker 1: and like dotally due like there's like a section a
Speaker 1: faction of like you know, creators on the right. Dare
Speaker 1: I say alts that are like saying that there is
Speaker 1: like a from studies that don't exist. There's like direct
Speaker 1: is up eighty thousand percent because it's there's like they're
Speaker 1: they're blaming TikTok creators with turetts for inspiring other people
Speaker 1: to pretend that they have it. And then thus Lee
Speaker 1: had like created this whole narrative around like maybe it's
Speaker 1: not even real. Maybe it's like you know, they're they're
Speaker 1: giving each other mental illness through the Internet, and it's
Speaker 1: like that's also the functional disorder like specified that it's neurological.
Speaker 1: It's not like a mental illness person. It's like a
Speaker 1: neurological like condition that like gets locked into the pathways
Speaker 1: and like neurologically and but but they also like the
Speaker 1: New York Times article that came out four years ago
Speaker 1: that the New York Times has proceeded to ignore like
Speaker 1: has the smoking gun. Yeah, yeah, so many viral viral
Speaker 1: hits they do. It's but they have the smoking gun
Speaker 1: that the people like if they had like gotten hit
Speaker 1: by like a physical weapon like at the time that
Speaker 1: they said they discovered it, like their brain would have
Speaker 1: healed from the physical injury by now. And like the
Speaker 1: thing that is always, like you can tell by a
Speaker 1: function functional disorder, is that they last for a really
Speaker 1: long time because like there's no way to really heal
Speaker 1: it because it is like locked into your brain pathways,
Speaker 1: like the way an addiction. So it's like the fact
Speaker 1: that it's not healing itself the way an injury would
Speaker 1: is the thing that like lets you know, okay, this
Speaker 1: is what it is. But again they just don't give
Speaker 1: that very kind of clear and and really like interesting,
Speaker 1: much more interesting than the story of like you know,
Speaker 1: space lasers that we don't know about, which I guess
Speaker 1: that's pretty interesting. But it also like tells you about
Speaker 1: like how immensely powerful the unconscious mind is and like
Speaker 1: how much like medicine is like just tapping into this
Speaker 1: vast like you know, universe of information about how much
Speaker 1: like the mind body connection. But it's just it's also
Speaker 1: the least profitable part of medicine, and it is profitable
Speaker 1: to create panic that we need to invest in the
Speaker 1: Pentagon's ability to invent invisible space. La. Yeah, like a
Speaker 1: brain shield. I'm like, I'm sure I'm going to see
Speaker 1: someone on internet being like everyone in twenty years we'll
Speaker 1: have to wear a helmet keeping Russia out of our heads.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, there's like jofie doo. Yeah, it's like it's
Speaker 1: of course, it's a little yeah, like in theory. Sure,
Speaker 1: if if there was any information at all, like that
Speaker 1: was concretely like pointing to what I believe one of
Speaker 1: the articles may have referred to as a worldwide ultrasonic weapon,
Speaker 1: then sure to read all about it. But they just
Speaker 1: keep combining different sci fi phrases. I'm like, that's creative,
Speaker 1: but yeah, but but the other stuff is like actually
Speaker 1: for real, it's also like goof goofily vintage, like it's
Speaker 1: giving like sure seventeen hundreds, like be afraid of the sky,
Speaker 1: like yes, yeah, And these studies are coming. The studies
Speaker 1: where they're like, yeah, sorry, we didn't find anything, are
Speaker 1: coming from the people who have the most interest in
Speaker 1: this being true. Yeah, and we screamed at the sky
Speaker 1: for hours. They did not respond many times. Was must
Speaker 1: we as a nation learn to like not listen to
Speaker 1: the studies that the CIA releases. It's like they're just there.
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna say, how why haven't we
Speaker 1: learned not to listen to the sky. I'm like, this
Speaker 1: guy is trying to tell us something. No every time,
Speaker 1: I mean like this. Honestly, this story did confuse me.
Speaker 1: And ultimately I was like, if someone offered to put
Speaker 1: a Wi Fi rider in my leg, I would let them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is like challenging, Yes, yeah, yeah. It's like the back
Speaker 1: and forth of it all. It's like, yeah, there were
Speaker 1: sources saying that they can't not not not disprove that
Speaker 1: it isn't a laser beam from space. But it's like,
Speaker 1: come on, I'm this They like, yeah, this has given
Speaker 1: me an a syndrome, this loop de loop of logic.
Speaker 1: And then they'll just end it with like, yeah, they're
Speaker 1: not not not doing this. Ps Russia like the thing
Speaker 1: that people remember. So goof, goof, goof. All right, that's
Speaker 1: gonna do it for the this week's Weekly Zeit Geys,
Speaker 1: please like and review the show if you like the
Speaker 1: show means the world demiles. He needs your validation, folks.
Speaker 1: I hope you're having a great weekend and I will
Speaker 1: talk to you Monday. Bye. I that w for the
