Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Speaker 1: Zeit Lotus. Hi. I'm Jack, that's super producer on a Hosnie.
Speaker 1: I thought you were speaking to me. Yeah, no, that's
Speaker 1: common problem. Usually we edited it out because every time
Speaker 1: I speak on the show, you you talked back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a little distract on how how have you been?
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Bit makes me laugh. Good, great
Speaker 1: to have you. As always, let's tell the people what
Speaker 1: is trending. So the Olympics are happening. As we mentioned
Speaker 1: on tomorrow's episode, it seems like the zeitgeist has switched
Speaker 1: from being like these Olympics are doomed to ya, we
Speaker 1: won golden swimming. Um, I guess we we I think
Speaker 1: want a bunch of golds. But the coolest thing that
Speaker 1: I have seen come out of this, and it's basically
Speaker 1: just via social media. I haven't really watched any of
Speaker 1: NBC's coverage other than some like having some swimming on
Speaker 1: in the background. Uh, skateboarding the new skateboarding. This is
Speaker 1: the first Olympics where skateboarding events are a thing, and
Speaker 1: it's wild. They like the gold medal and silver medal winner.
Speaker 1: We're thirteen year olds, Yes, there's like a bunch of
Speaker 1: really cool young girls who are skateboarding and that's been
Speaker 1: the coolest part is like discovering them on social media,
Speaker 1: like um Japan's Funa Nakayama and Brazil's Race Salial and
Speaker 1: there's an now they're skateboarder from Japan Momiji Nishia. Sorry
Speaker 1: if I'm saying all these names wrong, but they're like
Speaker 1: sixteen thirteen, racist thirteen and they're killing It makes me
Speaker 1: very hopeful for the young women of the future. Um,
Speaker 1: I feel like there's some really cool kids out They're
Speaker 1: doing it, man, you know it? Yeah, all right. This
Speaker 1: dude in Montana was trending over the weekend because, uh,
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson was up in Montana just getting away from
Speaker 1: it all, uh with a little fly fish and trip
Speaker 1: with his famu in Whitefish. I don't know if he
Speaker 1: was in Whitefish, but that would make a lot of
Speaker 1: sense because that is unofficial and not because Whitefish has
Speaker 1: invited this in any way but other than by their name,
Speaker 1: but it is where Richard what's his name, that white
Speaker 1: supremacist leader is lives and uh oh he was in
Speaker 1: living Ston, Livingston, Montana. Um and this dude came up
Speaker 1: and was like, you're the worst human being on the planet.
Speaker 1: And Tucker was not happy. Uh, and he said, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll take a breather son uh to somebody who appeared
Speaker 1: to be like about his age. Um any and the
Speaker 1: guys like, don't call my son. I don't know, is
Speaker 1: I I always feel uncomfortable when seeing like those like
Speaker 1: confrontational things, even if the person is completely in the
Speaker 1: right and you're watching this like, oh, no, the fight guys, guys,
Speaker 1: I have an idea, Jack, just stop watching the video. No, uh,
Speaker 1: because you can see I've swept through my shirt just
Speaker 1: from watching his video. Yeah, but honestly the worst. The
Speaker 1: guy makes some good points about like just what Tucker
Speaker 1: Carlson has done to the country and the families, because
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson's like, I'm with my family, man, and he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: but like you've destroyed families, You've gotten people killed by
Speaker 1: with your like anti vax or bullshit. UM. I am
Speaker 1: definitely uh, team accountability for anti vaxers and team like
Speaker 1: giving making it so that people who are anti axwers
Speaker 1: feel the consequence of what they're doing, because what they're
Speaker 1: doing is making it's so that worse versions of COVID
Speaker 1: can continue to be out there and breeding. And it
Speaker 1: doesn't just affect them. That affect children who haven't been vaccinated.
Speaker 1: It affects people who can't get the vaccine because they're
Speaker 1: you know, compromised. It affects people overseas and a lot
Speaker 1: of countries where you can't get vaccinated because yeah, just
Speaker 1: by avoiding vaccination, you're you're making it so that COVID
Speaker 1: can be out there getting stronger. Yeah. He also just
Speaker 1: perpetuates a lot of you know, racist and violent rhetoric,
Speaker 1: encouraging people to um treat other people poorly physically and mentally.
Speaker 1: So he's just the devil. And I wish he'd been like, well,
Speaker 1: you know what, blame my bohemian mother or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we haven't talked about that in too long. That his uh,
Speaker 1: his bohemian mother like left the family to go be
Speaker 1: like a free spirit when he was a kid, and
Speaker 1: which like, God, I'm gonna, I gotta gotta get out
Speaker 1: of here. I shouldn't blame the kid, but still, boy,
Speaker 1: did he take that to heart and become a monster. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Fuck Tucker Carlson. Luca is trending. Luca don chech put
Speaker 1: up forty eight in his Olympic debut, and this is
Speaker 1: the first time his country has ever made it to
Speaker 1: the Olympics. And they beat Argentina, who is usually a
Speaker 1: pretty good basketball team, and yeah, forty eight in his
Speaker 1: Olympic debut. I mean, the US men's basketball team lost
Speaker 1: over the weekend to France. Has not appeared that they
Speaker 1: can like kind of pull it together, at least they
Speaker 1: haven't quite yet. But but Luca, it's interesting, like one
Speaker 1: really great player is pulling his team like through to victory,
Speaker 1: whereas like three really great players on the on the
Speaker 1: U S team, probably more than that, five really great
Speaker 1: players is not it's not getting it done. Um so yeah, alright,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break. We'll be right back and
Speaker 1: we're back. Uh So, Green Knight was trending. It is
Speaker 1: a King Arthur movie. That is, it's by the guy
Speaker 1: who did Ghost Story, which was a movie I was
Speaker 1: like aware of. I didn't see it, but it was
Speaker 1: like a a movie where Casey Affleck where's like is
Speaker 1: dressed like a ghost, like just a white sheet over
Speaker 1: his head, walking around and it's sort of a moby
Speaker 1: meditation on like corror movies. Or on the idea of
Speaker 1: a ghost. Um, this seems to be a like tone
Speaker 1: poem type thing about King Arthur. What. Yeah, it's supposed
Speaker 1: to be like a poetic meditation on like the medieval
Speaker 1: times and the legend of King Arthur and the Green Knight,
Speaker 1: which I wasn't even familiar with. Didn't know that was
Speaker 1: the thing. It has Dev Patel in it. Yea, so
Speaker 1: deaf Patel is the lead. I mean, there are definitely
Speaker 1: reasons to be interested in this. Well, we'll check it out. People.
Speaker 1: People seem interested. Um, okay, okay, I'll watch it and
Speaker 1: I watch absolutely everything. Oh yeah, is there anything that
Speaker 1: isn't a streaming corner watch that you've watched recently that
Speaker 1: you want to let us know about? Absolutely everything? I
Speaker 1: have watched. Oh my god, this new season and for
Speaker 1: Real Housewives, Tell Mike, let me just say, let me
Speaker 1: just do a little bit of a reality corner home.
Speaker 1: My god, Mama, I'm into it. Okay, moving forward, Um,
Speaker 1: the White Lotus started that on HBO Max Real Funny Home.
Speaker 1: Man really missed Steve's on what a character Stevenson's facial expressions.
Speaker 1: I mean, the man can act in commenting. M that's
Speaker 1: a great show recommended on HBO Max right now. I
Speaker 1: also recommend Wellington Paranormal which is on HBO Max, which
Speaker 1: is a comedy out of New Zealand. Oh never have
Speaker 1: I ever Season two? Love it? Favorite show, so fun,
Speaker 1: so fun. Uh, you're so mad it so fun. I
Speaker 1: watched Girls five Ever Blue through that very quickly. I
Speaker 1: didn't realized that and A Dresen was wrote on that.
Speaker 1: But such a good show, so funny, so many good jokes. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: what a what a show. Peacock has really been a
Speaker 1: revelation to me. Well, we'll talk about we are lady
Speaker 1: parts uh in uh Thursday's episode. I believe, Yes we will,
Speaker 1: honey bunches, and boy do I have some thoughts on
Speaker 1: some cool young ladies taken over the scene I didn't
Speaker 1: care for it is that your thoughts, have some thoughts? Uh.
Speaker 1: Parkland shooter is trending because a one of the Parkland
Speaker 1: shooter survivors dad joined Q and on or is was
Speaker 1: influenced by Q and ON two believe that their son
Speaker 1: is a crisis actor. They now after their child went
Speaker 1: through like such a traumatic event. Uh. They've been brainwashed
Speaker 1: by social media to the point that they think their
Speaker 1: kid didn't actually go through that, um so, and the
Speaker 1: kid is interviewed by I think Vice and just talking
Speaker 1: about how you think your parents are unreachable. Jesus, how
Speaker 1: do how do you talk to somebody who thinks you're
Speaker 1: an actor, who thinks that you're you know, part of
Speaker 1: a simulation that's based around child trafficking, and like you know,
Speaker 1: it's basically the modern equivalent of the Satanic panic. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to process that. If my
Speaker 1: dad was like you, crisis actor, I think that's a
Speaker 1: great opportunity. And this is the only time that you
Speaker 1: are allowed to take a frying pan to your father's head,
Speaker 1: because that is so disturbing and so disrespectful to your
Speaker 1: child's lived experience, having to experience a trauma so deep
Speaker 1: that they thought that they might die at their school,
Speaker 1: a place that you are supposed to go to learn
Speaker 1: and feel community that you would feel like, oh, I
Speaker 1: could die here, A place I have to go every
Speaker 1: single day until I can graduate, and then I have
Speaker 1: to go again if I choose to a you know,
Speaker 1: institution and get a higher degree. Now this place has
Speaker 1: been tainted and ruined for me for the rest of
Speaker 1: my life that I will live in fear walking into
Speaker 1: a classroom because you don't know what to expect because
Speaker 1: that's been literally a trauma imprinted on your soul. And
Speaker 1: then to have your damn piece of ship Dad be
Speaker 1: like I read an article online from this lamp site
Speaker 1: and I think you're faking it, and it's like it should.
Speaker 1: It's truly like a Looney Tunes frying pan to the
Speaker 1: face moment of how fucking dare you. It's very, very
Speaker 1: surreal reality that we live in. I'm gonna add that
Speaker 1: to my list of very few reasons to assault your parents,
Speaker 1: and you do keep that updated. I've noticed the list
Speaker 1: of very few reasons to his parents. That's really dark.
Speaker 1: I don't have that list. I'm very sorry. Reef madness
Speaker 1: is trending because on Fox and Friends this morning, they
Speaker 1: were claiming that not enough is being done about illegal
Speaker 1: marijuana use um and even made the claim that marijuana
Speaker 1: use makes you violent with it demonstrably does not. Uh.
Speaker 1: But they're they're like, oh, you haven't met me. Uh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's another one here. Reasons to uh nope, shut it down, no, no, no, yeah,
Speaker 1: the whole concept. First of all, this clip that you
Speaker 1: showed me from Fox News where two people, two white
Speaker 1: people whose names I don't know, from Fox News and
Speaker 1: Brian kill me. We'll insert it here so you guys
Speaker 1: can hear. We have taken on the mindset that marijuana
Speaker 1: is not really it's not really a big issue in
Speaker 1: our city. I can tell you that marijuana undoubtedly just
Speaker 1: connected to violent crimes that we're seeing in our community.
Speaker 1: When you have something where people get high reward, they
Speaker 1: can make a lot of money by selling illegal marijuana
Speaker 1: and the risk is low, the risk for accountability is
Speaker 1: very low. That relates a very very very very very
Speaker 1: bad situation because those individuals get robbed, those individuals get
Speaker 1: shot at, those individuals get involved in disputes all across
Speaker 1: our city. I'm seeing it happen more and more, and
Speaker 1: he's not alone. In other sittings they're doing as well.
Speaker 1: But what are they gonna do. It's hard to put
Speaker 1: the toothpaste back in the tube. They've legalized pot in
Speaker 1: a bunch of places, and now they've seen violent crime spike.
Speaker 1: They're gonna say, you know what, we made a mistake.
Speaker 1: Well they should, because obviously the chief's numbers support what
Speaker 1: he said. Now if you were able to watch this video,
Speaker 1: please watch Brian kill watch at one time where you
Speaker 1: watch the full video, and then watch it again where
Speaker 1: you only watch Brian kill me. Now tell me this.
Speaker 1: Do you think this man has pheromounts because he's giving
Speaker 1: up absolutely zero energy at all. I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's the type of person that you walk into because
Speaker 1: you genuinely didn't realize he was there, because that's how
Speaker 1: little energy he's giving off in this clip. But I
Speaker 1: didn't care for it. Also, Um, you're wrong, yeah, very
Speaker 1: It's just very wrong. And they like the crimes that
Speaker 1: they throw to a police officer who is talking about
Speaker 1: crimes connected to marijuana, but they're basically all connected to,
Speaker 1: you know, the War on drugs, illegal marijuana and people
Speaker 1: like not being able to get marijuana or dealing marijuana
Speaker 1: or you know, and so yeah, that's the It's just
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense. It doesn't The thing they're throwing
Speaker 1: too does not prove the point they're trying to make.
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking about maybe going to another show for
Speaker 1: my drug advice, no longer just going to Fox and
Speaker 1: Friends for my advice and news about drugs. Now I'm curious,
Speaker 1: do you feel like at this point, like police police chiefs,
Speaker 1: it's like we're going in like a bit of a
Speaker 1: time circle. So we legalized weed in a lot of places,
Speaker 1: and so they couldn't you know, there was like a
Speaker 1: bit of a decline of blaming weed for violent crime.
Speaker 1: And now they're like grasping at straws again instead of
Speaker 1: acknowledging that the pressure they put on communities and the
Speaker 1: treatment of people of color in these communities and black
Speaker 1: people could possibly lead to violent crimes. That really looking
Speaker 1: within there now again like throwing the darkerd like okay, okay,
Speaker 1: what do we what do we got? What do we got?
Speaker 1: We got weed? Weed is the problem. It feels so
Speaker 1: like we're like in this circular mess of like no, no, honey, no, no,
Speaker 1: we did this. We already figured out that's not the problem,
Speaker 1: and now you've found a way to bring it back
Speaker 1: and be like weeds the problem. Every researcher who did
Speaker 1: the studies who was like that's not it is probably
Speaker 1: just like ripping their hair out of like I published this,
Speaker 1: we know this is not the problem. And you have
Speaker 1: some hop on TV being like I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: that guy he took a hit of reefer and then
Speaker 1: he robbed a bank or what. I don't know what
Speaker 1: what's violent crime anymore these days, but it's just like
Speaker 1: it's nonsense, and it's so transparently nonsense that you're like, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I do feel like trying to blame it on marijuana
Speaker 1: is specifically a bad gambit for the conservatives these days,
Speaker 1: because I just feel like enough people have smoked it
Speaker 1: or been around it that at this point, like now
Speaker 1: that it's legal, h we've like, my goddamn mother is
Speaker 1: the problem Bohemian lifestyle smoking weed didn't, right? I mean,
Speaker 1: what did crime like suddenly shoot up once people legalized marijuana?
Speaker 1: It did not. Super producer Ana Hosnie, where can people
Speaker 1: find you and follow you and listen to you? Um,
Speaker 1: I'm just at Anna hosting on Twitter, and you know him.
Speaker 1: I have that show ethnically Ambigios. Maybe I've heard maybe
Speaker 1: you've never even heard of me. Okay, alright, I was
Speaker 1: gonna do it for today, back tomorrow with the whole
Speaker 1: last episode. Until then, be kind to each other, be
Speaker 1: kind to yourselves, get the fucking vaccine, don't do nothing
Speaker 1: about white supremacy. We'll talk to you all tomorrow by
