1:25 Hello, the internet, and welcome to season 459, episode 2 of Dirty Daily Zeitgeist! This is a production of iHeartRadio. It's a podcast where we take a deep dive into American shared consciousness through the day's news. We also have a non-news history version of TDZ dropping each Monday morning called The Iconograph, where we do a deep dive into the zeitgeist through the lens of a different icon. We've recently done Oprah, we've recently done Selena, and starting... yesterday morning we're doing the October Fright Geist the spooky it's spooky season in honor of October so we did Dracula which was a lot of fun with Blake Wexler They are the episodes on Monday with icons in the title.

2:07 You can go listen to them anytime. But right here, right now, it's Tuesday, October 6th, 2026. Yep, it's National Noodle Day. Get your noodles however you like them. It's also National Orange Wine Day. It's World Cerebral Palsy Day. Zero Inbox Day.

2:28 Boo.

2:30 Boo that.

2:30 You want me to read off what the Gmail logo says on my fucking phone right now?

2:34 You guys will fucking shit the bed.

2:37 Maybe I have. I am recording this in bed.

2:40 212,014 unread emails in my Gmail. Jesus.

2:45 That's the thing on top. And that don't give me any anxiety.

2:48 212,000?

2:48 212,000.

2:49 Wait, when you get.

2:52 An email, do you just say nah and don't delete it? Yeah, I just kind of like, huh? I got 12,635.

2:59 Yeah, I just lost control of my Gmail inbox a long time ago, like to, you know, spam and shit like that.

3:05 Yeah, we just live in the, every time you fucking, you're like, oh, you want Wi-Fi? And then suddenly you get all these other partner emails because you signed up for fucking, to get Wi-Fi at like a pub in Santa Ynez or something.

3:16 You know who else I'm not dealing with is like spam calls. I'm not, I'm not taking those. I'm not going to zero inbox in my voicemail. I'm just disregarding the spam voicemail. I thought you meant you pick them up. I do pick them up and see what they have to offer me.

3:33 Just in case.

3:34 Zero inbox, people. I am curious.

3:36 How are you dealing with the massive influx of spam? Have you found a cure for that?

3:42 I don't know. It also feels like a time capsule. And I'm like, wow, look at this. Remember when Warby Parker, the deals they were offering in 2011?

3:53 Golly. Hell yeah.

3:55 My name is Jack O'Brien, a.k.a. Take a dump before I bite you. Don't want your blood if it's a shite brew. Take a dump before I bite you. Don't want a taste of that stuff inside. That one courtesy of BCR, flop on the Discord, in reference to a conversation that took over our Dracula iconograph, which is there's a moment in the original Dracula where the guy, the Keanu Reeves character... as he's described in the original Dracula novel, the Keanu Reeves character, shows up at Dracula's castle, and Dracula says, you've been on the road, you will want to make a quick toilet.

4:35 Careful of the deliberate.

4:37 Yeah, and then the guy goes and makes a toilet. And we talked for a long time about why Dracula was describing the guy taking a shit when he came to his house, and then after we recorded it, So producer Catherine was like, guys, you were having too much fun. I didn't have the heart to tell you how dumb you are, how dumb you are, that having a toilet means like going and freshening up.

5:01 I will say.

5:03 He lives in a castle. Those things had poop shoots in the toilet area. So I'm not, I'm not saying he was explicitly talking about taking a shit. I'm just saying he wasn't not talking about it. We can't, there's no plausible deniability there that he definitely wasn't. And I do think, uh, BCR brings up a good point here.

5:24 He might, he might be like, I want, I want to get that shit out of your system before I bite you.

5:27 I don't want that. Right, right, right.

5:28 I want you evacuating your bowels. I don't want you, you know, I want your blood all trash. Damn fool, eat less red meat, please. Anyways, I'm thrilled to be joined, as always, by my co-host, Mr.

5:43 Miles Gray.

5:45 It's Miles Gray, a.k.a. I met this guy named Dracky. His vibe was kind of wacky. Rode to his castle just like that. He told me something tacky. He said it's been a long trip. before we have a light nip. Go spend some time with your pants down. It's time to make your time. Here we go.

6:02 It's tricky to make toilet. Why drag want me to take a shit? He'll eat me.

6:08 Shout out to Frankenmore for that one.

6:11 Wow. Because look, bro. Yeah, you have to.

6:14 Make a toilet.

6:15 That shit dropped this morning and they're already coming with this.

6:19 I'm so impressed with the amount of people responding to the Icons episode. In the fucking discord.

6:24 In real time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

6:26 The careful and deliberate toilet was from an Agatha Christie novel where someone recounts what had happened to the lead character while taking a careful and deliberate toilet. And again, most people would assume that means grooming themselves. I like to imagine. They're taking careful and deliberate shit.

6:45 In the words of the.

6:46 Dude, that's just like your opinion. Opinion, man.

6:50 You as a historian and linguist who understands why people use different words.

6:53 Fuck the historical context, man.

6:55 I need this to be about my own weird dumb shit.

10:17 I promise this. Let's do this. All right.

10:20 Well, we're thrilled to have you here. We're going to get to know you a little bit better in a moment. First, we're going to tell the listeners a couple of the things we're talking about. We have discovered the one hack that allows you to meet macho Jesus that, that your doctor doesn't want you to know about.

10:36 Your Christian doctor definitely doesn't want you to know about this one cool hack to meet Jesus.

10:40 Wow.

10:43 One cool hack.

10:45 We're going to talk about Ben Shapiro's Pro-Ice movie that has been forced to suspend filming.

10:50 Oh, no.

10:51 What happened?

10:52 And then we're going to talk about some movie news. Warner Brothers' Paramount merger is scheduled to be completed today. And they are no longer going to be called Warner Brothers or Paramount. They're going to just be called Skydance, which fucking sucks.

11:07 Fuck you, corpse.

11:09 Yeah, exactly.

11:10 We're not just, fuck you, corpse. Yeah, yeah, you're going to love it.

11:13 But they do know what their top priority.

11:16 Movie to make is.

11:18 Good to know, okay.

11:19 We'll talk about that.

11:19 We'll talk about the big number one priority movie from Warner Brothers that came out over the weekend that did not do so good. And then we have an update on the Human Terminator Fight Club that we've talked to you about before. All of that, plenty more. But first, Joey, we do like to ask our guest, what is something from your search history that's revealing about who you are.

11:41 Okay. So, uh, thanks so much for asking that. And, um, yeah, so my search history right now, because I'm like, I'm putting this tour together, you know, I don't have a book or anything like that. So a lot of my search history is just asking, Hey, does this hotel have bed bugs? And then going through a lot of, a lot of reviews to be like, okay, okay. It said it had bed bugs five years ago and that was the most recent one.

12:01 Okay.

12:01 That's probably good. Oh, this one said they had bed bugs three months ago, you know? Yeah. So most of it is just like, is this hotel going to get me sick or kill me?

12:11 Sure, sure.

12:12 You have any defense against that? It's like, all right, shit, I'm going to be up in it. I'm not going to be in the green zone.

12:19 Oh yeah i uh i bring a gun with me country of.

12:24 Ours yeah i just shoot the bed bugs and i just leave it right there on the nightstand they know.

12:29 They know just to let them know i bring one a gun on the nightstand and then a couple dead bed bugs so they just know.

12:36 What's coming for them yeah it is amazing that publishers will spring for the microchip to go in the base of your skull that zaps you every time you don't mention the uh book but From what I've heard, they don't spring for full tours when it comes to publication.

12:54 Yeah, really. Most of my marketing budget went into me having a microchip and planning the base of the skull. That's right.

13:00 And you had to pay for it. We've been here the whole time, and that's the secret guide to all things Native America. Okay, great. We've been here the whole time, the microchip, and planning the base of my skull.

13:08 Wait.

13:09 What the fuck?

13:09 What the fuck is happening?

13:11 Oh, God. What is something that you think is underrated?

13:15 So I'm somebody who sunburns very easily. So what I love are big floppy sun hats. Like, you know, the kind, not, I'm not talking about just like a bucket hat. I'm not talking about a Jamiroquai situation. I'm talking about like a giant, it like, it has the wingspan of a bird level sun hat. Like not a dash of sun. Yeah. Like, like something like that. That's like also got like the back flap guy. I've just accepted that, like, I'm never going to look cool again. Right. Let's just go. Yeah, let's just let's go.

13:46 I noticed more and more people walking around with umbrellas in these heat waves, like around Los Angeles. And I feel like that did make me have the thought. I feel like, guys, let's just let's just accept it.

13:59 We're Australia now.

14:00 You know, we're going to be wearing that.

14:03 It's just the base level acceptance of UV rays will fuck your shit up.

14:08 You know what I mean?

14:09 And also like the, the idea of like the people we used to think look cool, man, those people were getting like melanomas and shit.

14:15 Like, man, what happened to like.

14:16 Those old timey movies where guys are just out there in the field, just sunbaked face.

14:21 Yeah.

14:21 They aged terribly and probably had terrible skin also.

14:25 I mean, that's why I share with me your skin. I carry with me an umbrella, a big floppy hat, also some sunscreen and a gun. So the sun knows what's up.

14:34 You got to lick off a couple of shots at the sun.

14:36 Straight up at it.

14:37 Fucking test me, bro.

14:39 Melanoma come for me. That's right.

14:43 I'll shoot them off. I don't know about that. Yeah, got to. I mean, it's also the thing, like, it's funny because my mom growing up, you know, like a lot of, especially like Asian women in the like late 80s were really being like, bro, don't The fucking sun is our worst enemy. Being fair skin, this shit will cook you. My mom used to fucking dress up like a beekeeper and shit, picking me up from school. I was just going to say beekeeper. Yeah, beekeeper core. The people had jokes for my mom, bro. And now look at my mom. People are like, damn, bro, your mom looks so fucking good for her age. I'm like, yeah, because guess what? Her biggest op was UV rays. And she did battle valiantly with them. And now she's laughing

15:23 as she stays indoors. Yeah, she won.

15:26 Yeah.

15:27 My wife has a mask that looks like Darth Vader's mask that she just like drives around in. But it's like it's like one big like the thing that sunglass lenses are made of. Just one big visor of sunglasses material that fucking rules.

15:44 Optic lens. Yeah.

15:45 Yeah.

15:46 My girlfriend makes, we were talking about Dracula shitting himself earlier. So, um, my, my girlfriend makes fun of me because I try to like plan most of our dates at night just cause like, I don't like being in the sun. Yeah. And she's just like, are you a fucking vampire? And I'm like, maybe. Oh my God. I do go toilet a lot.

16:02 Go fucking make a deliberate and hasty.

16:04 Toilet so we get to our date. Vampire.

16:08 We were talking about Dracula inviting someone else to take a shit and not shitting himself out. Though it does raise the question. What, Whose blood makes Dracula shit himself? You know what I mean?

16:18 Oh, like what's Taco Bell blood? Yeah. Is it Taco Bell blood?

16:22 Is it like, oh, God. These American diets. It's probably American blood.

16:27 It's like Taco Bell blood.

16:28 Yeah.

16:29 He's like, what about me, Dracula?

16:31 Oh, I don't know. Maybe later. I ate earlier, but thank you. What about me? I'm watching my macros. Yeah, right.

16:42 I ate his blood and wake up with indigestion. I fucking lured this fucking Taco Bell blood.

16:48 What was that, Dracula? Nothing, just... He's.

16:52 Burping Chalupa burps after eating someone's blood. Anyways, Big Floppy Sun hats, shout out to them. What's something that you think is overrated?

17:03 Last year around this time, I got the opportunity to do a show in South Dakota. And while I was there, I took a drive by Mount Rushmore. And I got to say, seeing Mount Rushmore in person, that thing sucks.

17:16 Everyone says.

17:17 Yeah, it's so funny. Like, literally, like, if you're driving from Rapid City to, you know, Mount Rushmore through the Black Hills, it's like you see truly some of the most, like, amazing, beautiful, like, why was this touched by the U.S. government vistas that you've ever seen in your life? And then you, like, round a corner on Mount Rushmore. It plays like a comedic reveal. It's like when you see it, it literally feels like wah, wah, wah.

17:42 Like you get that weird, like the recorder version of My Heart Will Go On.

17:46 Oh, yeah, for sure. It's definitely the cheap meme version of the Jurassic Park theme. It's like da-da-da-da-da. So, yeah, that thing sucks. Is it smaller than you expected? Oh, yeah. It's way smaller. It's just bad. It like it like it like actively makes the beautiful like Black Hills, the homelands of Lakota people like look worse. It's like Lakota people are right to be mad about Mount Rushmore for a lot of reasons, you know, being on, you know, stolen land and all that stuff. But like also it just looks like shit. Like it's just aesthetically it's bad. Right.

18:22 It's 60 feet tall.

18:24 60 feet tall.

18:26 Jesus. Yeah, and another funny thing about Mount Rushmore, like, when you're there, there's a bunch of, like, plaques and stuff like that about it, is that it was originally supposed to be their full bodies. It was supposed to be, like, the upper body, and, like, you can see a little bit, like, I think George Washington's kind of, like, suit coat and stuff like that. Yeah. The reason it's only their heads is that, like, Once the U.S. government started building it and the heads were made, they were like, wait a second, this is expensive. Let's just stop. This is expensive and it sucks. Yeah. So even the builders, even the people who built it were like, we can just like, look, this is this was a bad idea. We can just

19:00 stop halfway through. It's fine. Yeah. Right. An admitted mistake.

19:05 I do wonder, I wrote a sketch back in the cracked days about like the original guy who like really wanted to make Mount Rushmore and just like how weird it was that he was like, I want to put them on a mountain. I want to just put their faces on a mountain. Do the opposite of face off. But that's such a good point that, like, you're driving up to it, seeing the majesty of nature, like, these breathtaking views. And then, like, and then that.

19:36 So, like, wait, what the fuck? Yeah, it's truly because it's, like, it's literally, like, you turn a corner and then it's right there. Like, it plays like a reveal, but it's just, like, it's not a good reveal.

19:45 Yeah.

19:45 Also, shout out, the guy's name's, not shout out, but the guy's name's Gutzon Borglum. Uh, yeah, he, uh, sucked. Um, I, I write about him in my book specifically about how he is not invited to the powwow for making a big dumb mountain. Yeah. Gutzon Borglum.

19:59 All right.

19:59 Son, Lincoln Borglum finished it. Cool.

20:03 Wow.

20:03 It's like one of those things I, I, I think it's one of the more, it's not disappointing, but it's one of those things you're like, when I first heard that it was way smaller, it really kind of was like, yeah, bro, this whole country is a fucking scam, man. Because this whole thing, like, you know, exalting what it's, it's Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln is like this again. It just, it, it benefits from this like forced perspective also of like, yeah, it's so magisterial and magnificent yet. It's you're like, wait, what the, it's a tiny little hillside. Basically. It's not like this thing towering over you. Like it's fucking Olympus.

20:41 It's like, no, it's, that's a fucking cool group project.

20:45 Yeah, I was. I feel like I've done this a couple of times, so I didn't do it. But originally, my what do you think is overrated was going to be America in 2026. Wait a second. But then I was like, no, no, no, I'm not going to kick America down. It's not doing so great.

21:01 Go ahead. This country likes to kick people while they're down. You know what I mean?

21:04 Yeah, it is.

21:06 It is equivalent of like world's largest ball of yarn. But I do think it benefits from the. like having the pop cultural idea of like people being like having a list of top four or something like, okay, what's your Mount Rushmore of movies?

21:25 You know what I mean?

21:26 So it's just like, that's how it stays culturally relative. And also I think probably, like you said, miles of forced perspective of history, but also the forced perspective of nobody having been there.

21:37 Right.

21:37 You know, it's just, you've only seen it in, movies and you know like the Richie Rich movie yeah and so you just picture it being much bigger and more impressive than it actually is.

21:49 Yeah something I gotta shout out is that like okay so Mount Rushmore sucks but like a couple miles down the road there's like a full mountain sculpture of Crazy Horse that's being made and Crazy Horse is super dope like a native war chief and it's like it's like an entire mountain they've been working on it for like 90 years or something like that and it's like Mount Rushmore is way smaller than you think it would be, but the crazy horse Memorial, it's like his finger is the size of like a building, you know, it's like Google it. It's like genuinely really cool. And like the, the government has offered them funding to finish the crazy horse Memorial and, um, and they're the crazy horse monument. And, um,

22:28 They've declined it because they were like, you saw what you did to Mount Rushmore where you just stopped halfway through. Like, we want to finish this.

22:33 Yeah, we're not trying to do it all shitty like you did.

22:36 They're like, well, can you have it like pointing a finger directly at Mount Rushmore?

22:42 Yeah, yeah. The government will pay for it if you can make it. So instead of him pointing a finger, he's doing a thumbs up at Mount Rushmore.

22:52 Yeah, pointing with one hand, thumbs up with the other at Mount Rushmore.

22:57 Yeah, he's doing this guy. All right.

23:00 Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back. And we're back.

23:15 We're back.

23:16 And, uh, this is something that came across my radar, but I didn't, I didn't stop to watch the video.

23:23 Oh yeah.

23:24 This man who met him.

23:27 Yes.

23:28 Game.

23:28 The Nazareth. Himathy of Nazareth of Nazareth. Yeah.

23:35 Oh yeah. Thank you.

23:36 A Rizzer. Okay. Himathy of Rizzer.

23:40 Um, yeah, this guy named Gabe, they say Perot, but to me, I respect inspector Poirot.

23:46 Poirot.

23:48 Gabe Poirot, who has become a hot topic, especially among American Christians. He was in an accident that put him in a coma for 18 days. And he describes this near-death experience as him basically kicking it in heaven with him and him dad also.

24:06 And him spirit also.

24:08 All three of the Holy Trinity.

24:10 Yeah, yeah.

24:11 He now tours and gives talks about his experience. He has a book about it. And talking about he's like, yo, when I was in heaven for 18 days, and it sparked a lot of debate, it's like among Christians, because some are like, they're like, his visions are miraculous.

24:24 And we must heed these experiences when people.

24:27 Are do have the moment to brush shoulders with God and others like this guy's a fucking grifter. And he's like a bad look for Christianity, like when most of us are just trying to like have a relationship.

24:38 To like a higher power that makes us moral people rather than people seeking fucking superpowers like some people are. So guy, he's he's got a lot of buzz right now in the Christian world. And I just want to I think people should decide for themselves.

24:54 This is very helpful for me to like see his pitch. Hear him talk. I'm willing to have my eyes opened up.

24:59 So right now he's got a book out and he was on Saturday in America with a former White House press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany. And she's like, God damn, Gabe.

25:11 Oh, sorry.

25:12 I didn't mean to take his name. Yeesh, my guy. What was that like when you went there to there? And here is Gabe's brave answer.

25:23 And just again.

25:25 I don't want to poison the well and have you guys thinking he's a grifter. Just please have an open mind, hear the way he speaks, because it's very sincere and it's very from the heart.

25:33 18 days you were in that coma, you had this experience, you came face to face with your savior, and then you woke up. How has your life been different since that experience?

25:41 First of all, I also have to say, they're just letting him say this too.

25:45 18 days, you met your savior. Yeah. Okay.

25:49 I love that we always default to like- No questions, no notes.

25:52 This is very real. Okay, go ahead.

25:54 How has your life changed? People pay me money just to talk, first of all. That's one thing that's changed. But how else?

26:01 What do you got for us? He met him.

26:03 Had this experience. You came face to face with your savior and then you woke up. How has your life- been different since that experience.

26:09 Yeah.

26:10 Now with every single person I meet, I tell them of the love of Christ and that he did it all for them.

26:16 And he died and rose again.

26:17 And also I love how, you know, all these other testimonies, they didn't meet a female Jesus. They didn't meet a soft or a passive Jesus.

26:25 Whoa.

26:25 Okay.

26:25 So we started in a very... Down the middle, softball, Christian messaging.

26:32 Salvation.

26:32 Yeah, he died for you. That's kind of what I heard. I want to give the smallest amount of context. I just found the first chapter of his book online, and the first three words of his book are beep, beep, beep. So take all that with this grain of salt. That must be the equipment that he was on life support? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

26:53 It's very poorly written. I thought it was the car that Put him. Yeah.

26:58 Or the beginning would be like, Jesus was a robot, yo. Jesus was the roadrunner.

27:05 That's meep meep.

27:07 Just like, yo, I think that like you, did you die in a movie theater? But again, this is where it takes a turn because he's like, Whoa, this is he's getting unequivocal. He's like, he wasn't no soft ass Jesus. This motherfucker was harder than a fucking inmate, my guy.

27:22 This was him.

27:23 He's also he's also saying this in contrast to all of the other depictions of Jesus. He's like, and by the way, the other ones won't tell you this.

27:31 Yeah.

27:32 Well, here. Maybe he's the one that was carrying us, Jack, when we were shooting heroin. We'll see.

27:38 A female Jesus. They didn't meet a soft or a passive Jesus.

27:42 Jesus is a man.

27:43 And especially in America, he's been misrepresented. And especially even, you know, there's so many cultural things that present him as if he's some just tolerant guy.

27:53 Oh. You mean the Bible? Yeah, when he says he was a man, he gets like a little smile on his face that is very funny.

28:01 Yeah, it's very like, I told you so, to be like, what?

28:05 To who?

28:07 They never said the daughter of God. I think, again, we'll see that. Women aren't allowed to be priests in the Catholic Church.

28:17 He's got to use that energy, I think, to then still kind of be like, and to be Christ-like is to be a fucking macho man.

28:24 Okay, go on, Gabe. It's not the Jesus I met. He's a lion.

28:28 But he's not a lion angry against me. He's a lion angry for me. He's a Mustang on my behalf.

28:35 He did it all for me.

28:36 What did he look like when you saw him?

28:38 Pure fire. His Jesus has a big thick hog. He wants everybody to just be very clear about that.

28:45 Well, we're going to get some of those descriptions, too. What was he like, Gabe? Tell us.

28:52 I'm going to be here.

28:53 Just mouth agape. With no, I'm not going to be dubious in any way.

28:57 And go, what was it?

28:58 What does Jesus look like, guy?

29:01 Tell me, guy. Fire.

29:03 He was 5'11, like six feet, yet as tall as eternity.

29:06 He's talking like an insecure man who's hoping they can say six feet.

29:11 5'11, like six feet. He's 5'11, but he says he's six feet. Also, he's tall as eternity. Yeah, like 5'11.

29:20 Not like 5'11.

29:22 It's tall anyways. 5'11, the tallest a man can be. Tall as eternity.

29:28 Like Wemby?

29:29 What do we mean? Yeah, as tall as eternity.

29:32 Like an ocean of love. yet his eyes were burning white and red at the same time. is he high um and i mean talk about testosterone like a mustang i'm telling you he's he's the lion of judah and there's a roar within his.

29:48 Voice oh man why are you bringing up fucking testosterone.

29:54 I mean, it is important to me that my messiah has a bunch of fucking T.

29:58 You better not have low T, bro.

30:01 I'd be so fucking pissed. I'd be like, send me to hell right now.

30:03 Although, to be fair, a lowercase T is the sign of the cross. An uppercase T wouldn't quite Make it the cross. He actually corrected that for me. He said that on an uppercase T. Yeah, yeah. He said, fuck out of here, bro. What the fuck I look like dying on some low T shit, bro?

30:20 Fuck out of here. The only low T I want in my life is a crucifix. Yeah. I'm sure it's a cross picture somewhere. Even then, you know, even then I'm like, I don't.

30:29 Even know what to say about all this. He speaks with a voice of a lion. And every one of his sentences are punctuated with an electric guitar riff.

30:40 Also, Gabe, you crazy guy. Lions can't talk. What are you talking about? He's a lion. He's a Mustang. Wait, is he a lion or a Mustang? He's a Mustang.

30:54 He's as hot as a Mustang and scary.

30:57 Fierce as a lion.

30:59 He's like 5'11, 6'0, bro.

31:01 Basically. Yeah, yeah.

31:03 That's what I'm saying. Um, yeah, I just want to say again, it's important also to, to know what happened to Gabe too, because he, his, his, his recovery was miraculous. He was in a coma for 18 days. He walked out of the hospital apparently after being on life support, which.

31:18 That is miraculous. But here is, I just want to play.

31:21 He was on the Christian broadcasting network spreading his story too. And they did a bit of a dramatization.

31:27 I would have to assume based on like what, like how everybody's taking this, that he was like in. a country like building homes for the unhoused and like fell off of a roof or something.

31:38 No, he was doing whippets in a garage.

31:42 I was spreading the gospel of whippets in my dad's woodshed. But here's the story of the miraculous moment when Gabe met he.

31:55 Gabe Perreault and his friend John Michael were out riding, going nearly 30 miles per hour.

32:02 On what?

32:03 Gabe Skateboard struck something in the road, launching it six feet into the air. He came crashing down headfirst onto the pavement without a helmet.

32:13 Oh!

32:15 He's on one of those one-wheeled electric skateboards that every time I see someone riding them, I'm like, how is this legal?

32:24 You're going to die.

32:25 That seems so dangerous to me.

32:28 I think before a message about how masculine and Christ-like he is, maybe you should also be advocating for helmet use too. Then he wouldn't have met Jesus. That's why he's out here. This one cool hack. is how you meet Jesus. Okay, go out there.

32:45 Don't wear a helmet while you're riding a one-wheeled skateboard.

32:49 Fucking bomb it down a hill on an electric skateboard with no helmet, bro. And then you might, you might catch a glimpse of six, five, well, 5'11. Let's be honest.

32:56 5'11, man, close to six feet. Well, if he's not in his sandals, he's actually 5'10. Yeah, with a dick like a horse.

33:03 Like, honestly, what part of him was giving Mustang?

33:07 Like, what?

33:08 Yeah, because it says, you know, IT and Mustang is like.

33:13 Well, it's such Americana, you know, like the Ford Mustang, like our love of these horse-like sort of things. So I guess that's, he was just really tapping into something very American.

33:23 It just was Mustang. I mean, if it was a Ford Mustang, maybe it was part car. I don't know.

33:27 Oh.

33:28 Again, back to the beep beep. Yeah, beep beep. Who got the keys to my Jeep? Yeah, beep beep beep.

33:32 Beep beep. Beep beep.

33:35 Out of the way, man.

33:36 Yo, dude, I think that's... Yo, dude, was that Jesus or was that the car that hit you on your.

33:42 Okay.

33:43 And we're able to say this because he's fine. I will say, this reminded me... Did you guys see the Trump speech in Oklahoma.

33:51 Over the weekend?

33:52 He kept asking... about where these big, strong, handsome Oklahoma studs went. He was talking about some guys that were doing a performance as he walked in. And it's just like, in both cases, I feel like if this description, if you described a coworker the way that Gabe described Jesus or the way that Trump was describing these guys, you would be reported for sexual harassment.

34:21 Right?

34:22 Yeah, like, where are these studs at? I mean, you'd just be like, is this a problem?

34:26 Yeah, where are these Mustangs at?

34:28 Yeah.

34:28 It's getting a little lusty. He's as tall as eternity. Mm-hmm. I don't know.

34:33 I wonder who this guy saw over those 18 days. It wasn't Jesus. He definitely saw somebody. But maybe he just, it wasn't Jesus.

34:41 I think it was, look, he was skateboarding. Maybe it was Tony Hawk. Could have been Tony Hawk. Okay.

34:46 Yeah.

34:47 Tony Hawk's got eyes that burn both white and red at the same time.

34:51 Yeah, he's like skateboard Jesus.

34:53 Yeah, I think, you know, there's always this, obviously like this crisis of masculinity and trying to kind of shepherd people, pun intended, to back to like this very overt, like sort of capital M version of masculine vis-a-vis Jesus.

35:10 Yeah.

35:10 I think it's like, Very telling. And also, you know, we also just hear way too.

35:15 Many people talking about Jesus like in a horny way that you're like, okay, dude.

35:19 The depictions of Jesus are always like embarrassingly horny. Like if you just come to this religion for the first time and see that everybody has a version of him. like his death, you know, like very like serious moment. And he's just shredded with like a six pack and stuff like that.

35:40 Like that, that's not in the Bible. I don't know. I just, I think that.

35:44 There are some urges that people on the right feel on some unconscious level that they can't allow themselves to feel consciously. And like that gets, uh, sublimated and like comes out in some very interesting ways. I mean, if they read the Bible, I had this dream where this hot masculine guy was just like hanging with me. They don't read the Bible.

36:11 You know what I mean?

36:11 Just like they, cause they don't know the message.

36:13 And also like in the.

36:14 Bible, they're like, yeah, Jesus was pretty mid bro. Like he wasn't some guy that like the descriptions of them. Like, it's like, there wasn't anything beautiful or he was ordinary, you know? But again, I'm sure that also helps for them to sort of like raise the sort of status of Christianity in their minds. Like, well, dude, put up Muhammad and Jesus next to each other, bro. And let's see who's hotter. Okay.

36:40 Yeah.

36:42 No, for sure.

36:42 It definitely feels like you are right. And that it does feel like this is this weird thing of like where kind of the manosphere and Christianity are kind of bumping up against each other. Uh, but yeah, you're right. I mean, like, look, if Jesus had six pack abs, uh, that would be in the Bible.

36:56 Right.

36:57 They just spent three paragraphs being like his traps were in perfect harmony with the shape of his shoulders. Yeah.

37:04 His squat form exquisite. Yeah.

37:07 Right.

37:07 Yeah, it's like Carpenter. The way the guy's traps were built, you'd think he was farmer-carrying constantly.

37:14 Oh. Super Cruiser Victor said these guys would choose the wrong cup in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

37:23 Yeah, 10 times out of 10. Which cup looks like it can make a protein drink? It has that little shaker. It's got that little blender ball in it.

37:33 He's like, yeah, that's it.

37:34 Jesus was shredded. So obviously I have to take us through their logic. Yeah.

37:40 This one has a little blade at the bottom that if you press this button.

37:44 It goes. Jesus hates clumps at the bottom of his protein drinks. All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back.

37:52 We'll do an all-around movie update.

37:54 We'll be right back. And we're back.

38:07 And we've talked a little bit about how the right has learned to make movies and Hollywood is terrified. Of course, Ben Shapiro's run-high fight Infidels came out a couple of weeks back and has just some of the most ridiculous, unintentionally hilarious scenes of action that we've seen in a long time. And he's already in works on a new pro ice movie. Again, like that's such a weird and bad idea. That's so out of step with kind of mainstream movies. beliefs that like when they got the clearance they were like we're making an ice movie and everyone's like oh thank god like it's about time that someone had an anti-ice movie.

38:52 Right they're like no no wait a second yeah and then they saw what they were doing they saw what they were making they're like oh my god what the fuck.

38:59 Is this and they're like is that danny trejo yeah yeah also that some names have been I don't know if this is wishful thinking or if they're also hiding who they are from the people that they.

39:10 Got involved with.

39:12 No, this is it.

39:13 It sounds like this is a real call sheet they had. A call sheet from the shoot reportedly lists Danny Trejo, Harvey Keitel, and Henry Thomas, the boy from E.T.

39:23 Elliot.

39:26 Call ice on me, Elliot.

39:29 Exactly.

39:30 Fought to keep et away from the malevolent government agents and is now taking the federal government side.

39:37 With time now he's got second thoughts.

39:39 Yeah i've learned i've learned i mean danny trejo he was in like that that cartoon that they did before. I'm not surprised there because this is not his first time doing something with Daily Wire. Yeah.

39:54 Well, no, for sure. I think that looking into this article and looking into this, something the article kind of mentions is that this is being filmed in a small town, presumably kind of, I think, in Arizona or something like that.

40:05 Montana.

40:06 Yeah, yeah, Montana. And they specifically call out that the small town that this is filming in has one food bank And the food bank has been inundated with security personnel working on the movie going to this food bank. And it's become kind of a problem with the city. And, you know, like Danny Trejo, Harvey Keitel, and the kid from E.T. doing this movie, like, That I could totally buy as, like, okay, the phone's not calling a ton.

40:31 This is, like, a money move. You know, like, you're probably getting paid a good amount of money to do this. Trying to keep your SAG healthcare. Yeah, but it's like, I understand that. Whereas these security guards are being so little that they have to go to a food bank in the town, which tells me they're just doing it for the love of the game. They believe in this project.

40:47 Wait, were they actually going to the food bank?

40:50 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's mentioned a couple times in the article. Yeah, the food bank in the town is being just inundated with people working on the production, going there because they... need food and um it's specifically security personnel which tells me like they're probably not being paid great on them this movie they're not doing it for the money they believe in this project.

41:07 I mean the history we heard about run hide fight infidels was when they're they were like doing stunt work that was just like not acceptable it like didn't have any of the steps in place like people were getting injured um so they're doing everything in a real cut rate way.

41:22 Everything is anti, like, IATSE picketed that film because they're like, you guys are going to kill crew people.

41:28 Like, what are you fucking doing? Wasn't there, like, a video that went viral of, like, the star of them falling out a window during a take or something?

41:34 Yeah, that was the stunt that, like, basically got the production shut down. So this time on Saturday, Livingston, Montana's city commission unanimously passed a motion suspending production in response to concerns raised by citizens over The disruption to business and the city's only food bank, as you mentioned.

41:53 They also cited.

41:55 So one of the disruptions to the city's only food bank is that because they're not paying crew enough, the crew is having to eat at the food bank. So that's an interesting insight into how they treat people. They also cited the, quote, lack of notice regarding some of the production's more dangerous stunts. So, again, they're just like doing things illegally.

42:17 Yep.

42:18 Yeah, well, a lot of times, too, when we first talked about it, there are people who just, like, turn a corner and see a bunch of armed goons, and they're like, oh, there are characters in a movie. And they're like, what? They have guns, like, prop guns and stuff. It's not even clear there's a film being shot here.

42:33 They also mentioned in the article that, like, all the security guards in the movie are dressed like fucking paramilitary people. So it's like they all have machine guns. Anyway, sorry I interrupted you.

42:42 No, no, it's just, like, the whole thing, everyone's like, what the fuck's going on? But then the other part, too, is that, like, it's, uh, all the protests that are going on are actually also really fucking up, uh, you know, the, the production, because, you know, we talked like last week about how people were like out there singing Ben Shapiro is a cuck to London bridges falling down.

43:02 And it's a cuck.

43:04 It's a cuck.

43:06 Like it's muddying all the fucking audio for that. They're picturing that they're, that they're capturing from the production. So they're like, fuck dude, we're gonna have to spike that take. Cause everybody, like we can hear them. Here's another clip of them. like trying to shoot the film and hearing people just protesting this again, them doing some kind of scene where a car's like, I don't know, driving into a crowd, but there's fake gunshots.

43:28 Just know that.

43:29 But also the whole time you'll hear protesters just making it complete, making the audio completely unusable for this production.

43:37 So there's like a car moving around.

43:40 They're like trying to shoot.

43:42 I thought it was going.

43:46 To be like subtle in the background.

43:49 No, because they don't have enough of a crew to.

43:53 Actually have doing it real.

43:56 Yeah, yeah.

43:56 It's so, unfortunately, because this is such a stupid production. Yeah, you're going to be also, things will be affected by people that are displeased with the bullshit.

44:08 That's going on. I also love, based on context for inclusion in this clip, it feels like this features a scene, this It feels like this clip features a scene of an ICE officer heroically driving their car through a group of protesters.

44:19 Yeah, it's not sure whose side it is.

44:22 Yeah, like, what the hell are you doing? Yeah, yeah.

44:25 Well, they're all Antifa, and they've all made the mistake of trying to protect an MS-13 gang boss.

44:31 Yeah, it turns out that the person that they recreated the Minneapolis shooting of Rene Good.

44:39 Oh, I've heard about this. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

44:40 But in this, like, She has murder in her eyes. Yeah, she has murder in her eyes, and she's protecting an MS-13 person.

44:49 And also, at the behest of Antifa.

44:51 Antifa. And let's not forget that the depiction of anybody who is against ICE is somehow they either have to be overweight or have blue hair or both. Overweight, blue hair, and effeminate or something.

45:02 Just bumping NPR. Yeah, yeah. They give everybody fangs. It's like, oh, they're basically monsters.

45:10 We did talk about how Vampires represent what Republicans fear about Democrats. They're like, you know, European, sexually ambiguous, bloodsucking. Anyway, let's talk about Barbie. Because so the way that they're trying to paint over the Warner Brothers Paramount merger is by, first.

45:34 Of all, just changing the name.

45:36 So you'll never hear about Warner Brothers or Paramount again.

45:38 We'll just have Skydance for it all.

45:40 They're going to keep those brands, right? They have to keep those. They're just the new entity. They're forming a new company that will ultimately be.

45:48 Okay.

45:48 Well, that's better. It's still going to be fucking bad. And then they have to start actually making movies all of a sudden. And his bold idea is greenlight a sequel to one of the most popular movies of all time. He's trying to make Barbie 2.

46:05 And this is.

46:07 A crazy idea. Like, I don't know where he got this idea from. It's, again, one of the most successful movies ever made. Nor is it a new idea. Warner Brothers already spent months trying to put together a sequel for the movie because, again, the original.

46:21 Movie made $ 1. 5 billion.

46:23 And then David Zaslav wouldn't pay Greta Gerwig and the stars they're asking prices, which he called too generous. So he's desperately in need of a hit to... prove the merger isn't a giant clusterfuck and fill the, uh, father's love-sized hole in his soul.

46:42 I'm really so interested to see what all the changes they're going to do to make Barbie more of a conservative movie. Right. Like, I'm sure they're going to, like, do a redo of that America Ferrera monologue where she says, now, actually, I don't like feminism.

46:55 She's going to actually wake up. The movie starts with Barbie waking up and go, what a nightmare.

47:01 That was a crazy dream. Back to trad world. I love it here. For sure, for sure. I don't know.

47:08 I mean, like, I can also just see them thinking they understand what the juice is of that and just going just completely going heavy handed in the wrong thing. Because, yeah, at the end of the day, all these people who are making these decisions at this level at like Warner Brothers, Paramount, Skydance are not they're not creatives.

47:26 They're just pure creatures. In this one, you know what people want to see. A hot, masculine Ken that has burning eyes and feels like a Mustang. You know what I mean?

47:35 Like a five-legged Mustang. A huge horse cock, all the things.

47:40 The Mustang thing's definitely about the cock. I feel like that's really what he kept coming back to. He's like, the.

47:46 Energy of a.

47:46 If he didn't need to do the cock thing, it would have just stopped at lion. But he had to come back to... He's just like a real... I don't know, stallion.

47:54 You know what I'm saying?

47:55 Yeah, like, shorthand in, like, American man discourse. Like, you're not bringing up a horse because you're like, oh, man, there's such.

48:02 A powerful animal.

48:03 Right. Some depraved thing about either how they've had their, like, they're gelding.

48:08 Or, wow, look at this. Look at that horse.

48:14 He's got charisma like a horse. He's hung like a horse.

48:19 Look, it's also the mane. I'll say to the Taurus's credit. If it was a hair thing.

48:24 He has a real shiny mane.

48:26 He didn't mention that.

48:28 I know. He has a real taper fade. Not even that long sissy hair. Just a nice taper fade like Travis Kelsey.

48:37 Yeah.

48:37 You get him out in the field and just open him up and he can really gallop. And then you've got to water him a little bit.

48:42 Yeah.

48:43 Yeah. Instead of feet, he's got hooves, which is weird on a human. But for him, it was hot.

48:48 And also biblically problematic. But again, I don't read the Bible enough to know if it may have had cloven hooves. I can't remember what he was walking around on.

48:58 Oh, man.

48:58 And then the other movie news from over the weekend is nobody went to go see Digger.

49:03 That's crazy.

49:04 Nobody like almost like eight million dollars worth of people at the domestic box office. It costs between one hundred and sixty to one hundred and eighty million dollars to make.

49:15 Wow.

49:16 I did not realize it cost them like that is.

49:19 That's a big.

49:20 That was a big bet they were taking on what is essentially a pure art film.

49:25 What is that like the word i feel like tom cruise has never failed this bad.

49:30 So he did that mummy movie which lost $ 95 million and killed the dark universe franchise. Like they were going to do a whole dark movie franchise, like universe, the cinematic universe with like, and they started with the mummy, which I feel like was not the right choice.

49:47 That was the one that had like Sophia Boutella in it.

49:49 Right.

49:50 I think so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you do Frankenstein or you do Dracula and have him go toilet. They all stink. Yeah, he invites people to go toilet. They're all stinky. They all stink.

50:00 That's your fucking problem. But yeah, this is a big one. Also, they're estimating, the internal estimate is $ 8 million. And the rivals are like, we actually think it's closer to $ 7.

50:13 5 million.

50:15 Wow.

50:16 For the record. Just so you know, we'll know by today. So I got to say, hot take, it bombing so hard makes me want to see it more. Same too, kind of. Yeah, I'm probably going to go see it this week.

50:28 People hate it so much. And I was like, at the trailer, I was like, I think Iñárritu is a great director. I think.

50:35 It's definitely interesting.

50:36 It's odd. I'm like, yeah, let me see some shit. Well, no, no. I think it's like, I think that the reviews are like, wow, they took a real big swing and like, mostly it misses, but sometimes it hits real well. So I think it's like, I think it's one of those things where it's not boring bad. I think it's just, like, divisive in a way.

50:54 What am I watching? Yeah, divisive in a way that kind of makes me, like, want to watch it more, you know?

50:58 Well, yeah, because I think people are like, it's just, like, smashing you over the head with its messaging is, like, one consistent thing I've seen. And then, like, then I've heard Inuritu just be like, yeah, like, that's kind of the point. Like, that's the way I'm trying to tell it.

51:14 Kind of an important message, I would say.

51:15 Yeah.

51:16 I don't know. Call me crazy.

51:17 Yeah. But I think it's probably the difference in a maximalist artist painting a scene of people having a conversation one way versus an impressionist and what you get from that. We'll see.

51:30 It could be total shit, though, too. And that's what I'm excited for.

51:33 Yeah. I think this reminds me a lot of the mid-2010s Johnny Depp movie Mordecai. where it was like, where it was just like, you watch that, you know, you look at all the promos for this and you're like, what the fuck is this? Not in an intriguing way. Like, it's like, I think that, I think that oftentimes the Hollywood system is so, is so, uh, stuck to the idea of like, people will show up for a star, but it's like, right.

51:58 That seems to be the only argument here.

52:01 Yeah.

52:01 Whereas like, I feel like with Digger, I mean, I hear that it's like an interesting, artful, cool movie, but I'm not getting any of that from the fucking promo shit. I'm just getting, um, oh, Tom Cruise is going to do an old man impersonation voice.

52:13 Old man character, yeah. You know, and it's like, oh, I need more other than like, oh, it's a satire or whatever. But like, I think that like every article about it says basically stuff like, you know, they would have promoted more, but that would have ruined a twist. And it's like, yeah, the movie having a twist in it and Tom Cruise is not enough for me. Right.

52:31 Yeah.

52:31 The Sixth Sense managed to market on a twist well enough.

52:36 Right.

52:37 Well, I guess.

52:39 I guess we'll have to see it with.

52:41 Our own eyes.

52:42 With my own eyes.

52:43 I'm just saying, Skydance can't take over soon enough.

52:47 Thank you.

52:48 We're all thinking it.

52:51 Oh, my God.

52:52 Our writer, Jan, pointed out that it made $ 3 million less than Mercy, which was that movie where Chris Pratt argues with a computer while strapped to a chair for 90 minutes.

53:03 Yikes.

53:04 Which was also itself seen as a big flop.

53:07 And also heavy-handed. Oh boy. Well, did you watch that one? I saw part of it.

53:12 I tried to watch it and I was like, it's exactly what I thought it would be. I had an easier time getting through the runner, the Gal Gadot film. Well, that was more like exhilaratingly bad. And by exhilarating, I mean like just bad enough that you're like.

53:27 Ah, keep going. Keep telling me you're shitty.

53:29 Yep.

53:30 All right. Yeah. I think that I have this like theory with bad movies where it's like, I think that watching a movie like that, like I'm sure The Runner probably takes a lot of crazy swings, even just like Gal Gadot acting. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

53:43 The directing that's jarring more than anything.

53:46 Yeah, for sure, for sure. It's really fun to watch a director take a bunch of big swings and whiff it. It's boring to watch a director... Kind of try to bunt it for a whole movie. And it's like, oh, you made a bunch of choices. They were all the wrong choices. We're playing snowball. Yeah.

54:03 Nah, I don't need no button ass director, bro. Fucking swing for the fences. Even if you whiff, you know.

54:08 What I mean? Yeah, land on your ass. I want to see that.

54:10 I want you to take a swing and spin around and your legs twist up like spaghetti.

54:14 Yeah, for sure.

54:15 And then you unwind the opposite direction.

54:18 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

54:19 All right. And then we do have an update because last week, clips of the alleged first ever MMA fight between a human and an actual humanoid robot went viral on social media. We did call it out because that robot looked tough as hell. He kicked the shit out of that guy.

54:34 The guy with the fake dumper.

54:36 So the company behind the fight has received a cease and desist order from the California State Athletic Commission, who ordered them to immediately stop hosting and promoting human robot cage fights. or else face a misdemeanor charge which appears to be like the person who got who received it said we made it boys california sent us a cease and desist for unsanctioned human versus humanoid robot cage match but it's make it yeah you didn't really make it and also the humans weren't trading clutches with an autonomous t800 the the robot was controlled by a human handler the entire time so it's It's just real steel on a smaller scale. It's not Terminator boxing.

55:16 It's real steel. How long do we think it's going to take before Trump makes humans being able to fight robots in a cage match ring his main platform? I don't know. He's thinking about it.

55:29 He's going to get those big, strong Oklahomans out there against the Terminator.

55:34 He's probably like, I've tried folks, but the muscles are just, they're not believable on the robots. I just can't, they don't look the same and I'm not as interested. They can't, they can't figure. And also just like, again, being like, dude, this, the state told us to stop. Isn't the flex it is that they think it is also like you can get, you can get a cease and desist for just for many kinds of things, including just doing wildly reckless shit.

55:57 They're just describing what you described yourself as doing.

56:00 Right. We made it, guys.

56:03 We're going to get in trouble with the state for this dumb idea.

56:06 We made it. Yeah, the state said, hey, don't do a robot fight.

56:09 Hey, knock that shit off.

56:10 Slam dunk.

56:11 There's also, like, they weren't saying, like, because this is dangerous and soon the robots will rise up. They were saying you didn't, like, pull any of the right permits for any sort of, like, you can't have full contact martial arts event without the prior approval of a commission. This is the next Supreme Court case.

56:29 Very standard stuff.

56:30 They're going to take this all the way to the Supreme court.

56:32 They're like, this is not, this is not an athletic bout between a two human beings. Actually your honors. Right.

56:40 This is, this is, this is a humanoid versus human. And, and, and what if this robots rights.

56:46 You have none. You have none. Also like state athletic commissions are so weird. There are a couple of states that pro wrestling companies like WWE and AEW do not have events at because weirdly the state athletic commission is still oversees those events so it's like they'll have to get a state yeah yeah like as if it's you know in pro wrestling like it's predetermined they're very athletic and dangerous blah blah but it's like there are a couple of states that like look over it as if it is a competitive sporting event and like so yeah like there are a lot of like i think that like like oregon i think is one of them and there's a couple of other states where it's like there are things like if a wrestler starts bleeding you gotta

57:21 stop the fight like and it's like yeah that's part you know Right. And like needing like, like licenses or something. It's like, well, this is like a licensed match then. Like guys, for sure.

57:31 For sure.

57:32 Undertaker. Okay.

57:34 Yeah.

57:34 It's the Undertaker versus the boogeyman. Yeah. Yeah.

57:39 Versus this guy, they have fangs in their mouth.

57:42 They're called the brood, bro. I don't know what he wants to fucking do. Yeah.

57:46 Yeah.

57:46 Joey, such a pleasure having you. Uh, where can people find you?

57:50 Follow you? See you in person.

57:52 Maybe.

57:53 Uh, yeah, thanks so much. Uh, yeah, this was, this has been so fun. Um, uh, I definitely mentioned it earlier, but definitely please check out my book. We've been here the whole time and that's a sacred guide to all things native America. It's a comedy satire book about all the native history, culture, and notable people they don't teach about in school. Kind of like if the onion or the daily show wrote a book about Indian country and it's available in bookstores today, like all your favorite bookstores and online shops and all that. If you want, uh, easy places to buy the book, go to joeycliffe.com slash book.

58:20 And that'll give you a bunch, a bunch more info. And, um, play, you know, links and stuff like that. And then I'm going on tour starting tomorrow and going all across the country, like New York, Oklahoma. So I can see some of those big studs in person.

Um, And you can follow me on Instagram and threads at Joey Clift with five or six eyes because a 12 year old took Joey Clift with one eye. So I just had to deal and then Joey Tame it on all the other socials. And, you know, other than that, I just got to promote the idea of, you know, if you're a Dracula out there, invite someone to toilet.

59:08 Invite somebody to toilet, guys. Delete.

59:10 A deliberate.

59:10 Let us know if you're a Dracula.

59:12 What was Drac really on?

59:14 Are you a Dracula? Let us know. Let us know what.

59:17 Your deal is with inviting people to go toilet.

59:20 Yeah. What's the Taco Bell of blood for you? Please let us know. Yeah. Is there blood that gives you indigestion? We want to know.

59:27 And also, how do your fangs work? Are they hollow tubes that suck up the blood? Or are you just biting the vein and then sucking on the vein?

59:34 Of course they're hollow, my friend.

59:35 Look at the Reese's peanut butter commercial.

59:37 Stay hollow, my friend. Joey, is there a work of media that you've been enjoying?

59:47 So I got to say a work of media that I've really been enjoying is, and this is, I'm not saying this just as a promo thing, but it's Goodreads reviews about my book. Like the, like, There have been a couple of different folks who've gotten early review copies, and most of the reviews are really good. People give me five stars and stuff, which I really appreciate. But there's a couple of four-star reviews that basically say, Hey, we would give this five stars. But when it comes down to it, this book kind of just feels like it's a promotional pamphlet for this guy's tribe's casino. Which, when I hear that, look, I talk about my tribe's casino a lot in my book. It's called A.

1:00:22 Linnaeus.

1:00:22 It's 20 minutes north of Portland. It's very nice. Literally, one of the pages of the book is a hand-drawn map of how to get to my tribe's casino from Portland. And then I talk about it. That's so funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And somebody specifically said, like, oh, yeah, he mentions this casino easily four times in this book. And I'm like, no, I control Aft. I say my casino's name 18 times in this book.

1:00:47 So, look.

1:00:47 It sounds like it's a fucking good casino, man. Look, it is the best casino in Clark County. We have the tallest building in Clark County is our hotel. Look, hey, Lene, look, it's 20 minutes from the Portland. You should really go to it.

1:01:01 Look, I'm willing to lose review points just hyping up how good my trip's casino is.

1:01:06 All of your comedic educational work has just been to hype up this casino.

1:01:12 Look, we have a burger restaurant that's co-owned by Gene Simmons of Kiss. There's a bunch of bedazzled cow skulls on the wall. It rocks. That's so funny, man. Amazing. Well, go check that out.

1:01:23 Go get the book, read the book, leave a Goodreads review. Miles, where can people find you? Is there a work of media you've been enjoying?

1:01:31 Yeah, find me everywhere at Miles of Grey.

1:01:34 Talking about 90 Day Fiancé, the reality show. Me?

1:01:37 Yes.

1:01:38 That's on the other podcast for 20 Day Fiancé with Sophia Alexandra. And then I'm talking about English Premier League football, European football on YouTube. Ain't it footy with Jamel Johnson and Chris Martin. Uh, check those episodes out and subscribe over there. Uh, work in media.

1:01:56 I like, okay.

1:01:57 So, uh, this is from slam underscore dunk. I don't know what this is from, but, and I, I, as you know, on the show, we always write out on music. I have always fans fashion fancied myself as a, as a spreader of new music and putting people onto stuff. And this is just a sentiment that I know a lot of people who are probably like me and a little petulant about them always digging through new kinds of music and sharing it, how you feel when you put people onto music. So this is from slam underscore dunk.

1:02:28 If you silently Shazam a song I'm playing in the car, you're a piece of shit.

1:02:38 I put you on.

1:02:40 Don't get it twisted.

1:02:43 That's so funny. I mean, fair.

1:02:45 Deadpan, you're a piece of shit. I put you on.

1:02:49 Just ask. Just ask. You know what I mean?

1:02:53 We put the work in. I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I don't want to give you that. That is a fucked up move to silently. That's the thing. When people, yeah. That's what I mean. That's the exchange, baby. Just say, damn, what's this shit?

1:03:03 I don't want to act like you know more about music than me, so I just have to silently shazam it.

1:03:08 Come on. That's Pete Coward.

1:03:10 Damn, who is this? You have the best taste in music. Coward, masculine bullshit.

1:03:15 You know what I mean?

1:03:16 You can't even big up somebody else to be like, oh, cool. Thanks for sharing something.

1:03:20 This is a good song.

1:03:21 I will never be found out to not know everything that exists on Earth, ever.

1:03:26 Amazing.

1:03:29 You can find me on Twitter at Jack underscore O'Brien. On Blue Sky, Jack OB, the number one Instagram, Jack underscore O underscore O'Brien.

1:03:37 I've been enjoying... A lot of people.

1:03:39 Were tweeting the photo of the actor Skylar Gizondo. You know him, if you watch The Righteous Gemstones, as the oldest son who's like into motorcycle stunts and he's, he's just got a real like little kid face kind of, even though he's 30, he's also the hot shit child actor.

1:03:58 And what's it called?

1:04:00 Licorice pizza. He's a good little actor, but everybody's retweeting pictures of him and being like, he looks like he'd break his arm at recess and come back to school with a green cast from 243 Trophies.

1:04:12 But my favorite one was from at Stan.

1:04:13 Stan. Stan Urinstain, who tweeted, big glass of milk on spaghetti night for this guy.

1:04:26 Oh, yeah.

1:04:28 Oh, yeah.

1:04:30 That is the perfect.

1:04:32 And then somebody else said, wish everyone was obsessed with this pic of him instead. And he's like out in the field holding a dog in his arms and looking cool. And someone said, when someone said he looked like a mom in the dust bowl, he really does look like you. You kind of have to see that one. But that was from Kermit Gulag. And then another tweet I really liked was from at Facebook villain who said ashing my nature valley bar out the window like a cigarette.

1:04:56 Yeah, I get it.

1:05:01 I'll collect at the bottom.

1:05:03 Yeah.

1:05:04 Uh, you can find us on Twitter and blue sky at daily zeitgeist. We're at the daily zeitgeist on Instagram. You can go to the description of this episode, wherever you're listening to it. And there at the bottom, you will find the footnotes, which is where we link off to the information that we talked about in today's episode, as well as a song that we think you might enjoy. Uh, miles, is there a song that you can silently put people up on and, uh, not appreciate.

1:05:27 Just, uh, the new album from as Chike, who you might know from the GNX, uh, He had one of the best features on GNX. He's got a new album out called No Rest for the Wicked. There's some Pharrell production on there. The one track in particular has me very excited. It's called Lamb Truck Keys, L-A-M-B Truck Keys.

1:05:52 And it's Pharrell giving us like a very, very West Coast beat for Chaik to do his thing on. And you got to check this out. So this is Lamb Truck Keys. And for anybody who is from the West Coast, especially from California, you will feel this instantly in your bones.

1:06:09 And if you shazam this, you're a piece of shit. We told you what it is. I just told you.

1:06:13 Now I'm worried about your listening comprehension, fam. I bet there are people out there who just take your recommendations and play them in the car.

1:06:21 Hell yeah.

1:06:21 Go ahead.

1:06:22 Go ahead.

1:06:24 You know what i mean do it be that person i don't give a shit you know what i mean but and i bet there are some people that's.

1:06:29 Me it's me you're looking back yeah you guys like this track i just found on my own yeah pretty cool your old man's your old man's got his ear to the street yeah.

1:06:40 One thing i love about that clip is we don't get the context of what song he was so in my mind he was playing like wheels on the bus or something yeah.

1:06:47 It's some rocky shit yeah Yeah, but it's not the kind from kids' songs that you always heard.

1:06:54 It's a different, it's a deeper cut. This is the Raffy version. That's right.

1:06:58 This is the Raffy live. I follow Raffy and just have a bunch of bootleg tapes of his. Raffy at Merriweather Post Pavilion, pretty sick.
