Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of I've
Speaker 1: had the of my gust and I Owe it all
Speaker 1: the Zoo. That is courtesy of Brian Jeffrey. To producer
Speaker 1: Brian bringing the heat, I'm Jack. That's Miles. Here are
Speaker 1: some things that are trending on this fine Tuesday afternoon.
Speaker 1: Ivory Hecker is trending. And you're probably saying, who the
Speaker 1: Hecker is that? Well, good question. This is a person
Speaker 1: who is on a Texas news station. Uh. And she was,
Speaker 1: you know, kind of went viral because she started off
Speaker 1: a live segment where she was supposed to be talking
Speaker 1: about like the heat wave, and she was like on
Speaker 1: location with like an air conditioning technician. And she said,
Speaker 1: first of all, before I get to my segment, she says, quote,
Speaker 1: I want to let you, the viewers know that Fox Corp.
Speaker 1: Has been muzzling me to keep certain information from you
Speaker 1: the viewers. From what I'm getting from what I'm gathering,
Speaker 1: I'm not the only reporter being subjected to this. I'm
Speaker 1: going to be releasing some audio or some recordings about
Speaker 1: what goes on behind the scenes at Fox because it
Speaker 1: applies to you, the viewers. I found a nonprofit journalism
Speaker 1: group called Project Veritas. Who's going to happen out tomorrow,
Speaker 1: so tune into them. Yeah, so she went viral for
Speaker 1: telling the truth on the news. I mean that's unheard
Speaker 1: of these days. She was saying like she was being
Speaker 1: muzzled from like saying like real ship that was like
Speaker 1: too far, like like too real and progressive like and
Speaker 1: like that's what's going on, because what are they gonna say.
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, don't tell people that like masks or that.
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're trying to say, but knowing
Speaker 1: like the Project Veritas is track record, this is yeah,
Speaker 1: it's going to be already is going to be complete
Speaker 1: horseship based on their track record. Although we did uh
Speaker 1: cover that new hot music video from Project Veritas, where um,
Speaker 1: what's his name is a kif like does a yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a Prince cover. He's wearing sunglasses indoors. Um he
Speaker 1: hired attractive people to dance around him. Um, he's it's
Speaker 1: all the all the stuff that you need to Uh.
Speaker 1: I don't know what what the point of that was,
Speaker 1: but it's pretty interesting. I think, just to let people
Speaker 1: know we got all the garky or whatever the fun
Speaker 1: because like if it's a video from an alternate dimension
Speaker 1: where the nazis one World War two, uh, and like
Speaker 1: this is what the eighties looked like. I feel like
Speaker 1: Mackenzie Scott is trending because she has given away eight
Speaker 1: billion dollars since she got half of Jeff Bezos's money,
Speaker 1: and she can't give it away fast enough. She she's
Speaker 1: gotten richer since she got the money. It's just it
Speaker 1: keeps growing like some fucked up like Greek tragedy like
Speaker 1: something first, like a person who couldn't give away their
Speaker 1: money fast enough because it just keeps. I think I
Speaker 1: give it away and then I opened the refrigerator and
Speaker 1: there's more in there. Where has she been giving her
Speaker 1: money to? It's yeah, all kinds of things. Um, she
Speaker 1: just did it on the whole point something million dollar. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean this is, by the way, the only lot
Speaker 1: like rational thing for a human being to do. Who
Speaker 1: has that much money? Um, you should all spend all
Speaker 1: their time giving away all their money um brands. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because there's a certain point like where the consumption it
Speaker 1: actually can reach like uh like critical mass, like where
Speaker 1: there's you couldn't ball harder at a certain bread with
Speaker 1: what you have like you can, sure you can have
Speaker 1: every Bentley, but then what sure all your pillows are Gucci,
Speaker 1: but like then what um? And I think that's when
Speaker 1: you hope, like, at that point start giving it all away,
Speaker 1: how about that? But yeah, good on Mackenzie Scott. I
Speaker 1: hope everybody. I hope Melenda Yates is also making it
Speaker 1: rain too with the money she's getting or has. Heat wave.
Speaker 1: There is a heat wave in the Western United States.
Speaker 1: It is uh pretty brutal in in l a and
Speaker 1: the valley right now over a hundred degrees in Phoenix.
Speaker 1: I think it's going up to one ten and Death
Speaker 1: Valley is going to come within ten degrees fahrenheit of
Speaker 1: the record for highest temperature anywhere on the face of
Speaker 1: the Earth, which Death Vally currently holds. Um so didn't
Speaker 1: it Like wasn't that record set like in the last
Speaker 1: two years? Also? I think so yeah, I feel like
Speaker 1: they it's always like reading like, yep, it did it?
Speaker 1: Uh it was you know, melt your face off hot
Speaker 1: and death value. But that's another thing, just like back
Speaker 1: to that even story about the Texas heat wave too
Speaker 1: and the lack of electricity going on. It's it's terrible
Speaker 1: when you just keep reading more and more about like
Speaker 1: how that stories developing, or just realizing too how few
Speaker 1: options that they have in Texas because they intentionally cut
Speaker 1: their grid off from the rest of the country to
Speaker 1: avoid federal stuff. Anyway, whatever. Yeah, it's interesting that she's
Speaker 1: like talking about how she's being muzzled from telling the
Speaker 1: truth while covering a story about a heat wave that
Speaker 1: her city or her state is completely ill prepared for
Speaker 1: due to people like you know, yeah, but James o'ki
Speaker 1: who down interview um tonight so everyone can sleep right
Speaker 1: through that. Um Yeah, Big a C is trying to
Speaker 1: screw you. Also, you were telling me about a phenomenon
Speaker 1: I you and Brian were mentioning a phenomenon. I wasn't
Speaker 1: aware of that. Pools in Phoenix are I'm just it's funny,
Speaker 1: he said, Phoenix. I was in Scottsdale. I've been. There
Speaker 1: are times when you're like, oh, there's a pool, but
Speaker 1: you don't realize that the ambient heat outside is basically
Speaker 1: making it like it's not really offering much difference from
Speaker 1: the air the air the air temperature, so when you
Speaker 1: get in, you're like, this is refreshing. Um, It's almost
Speaker 1: like I don't know what you'll do in Arizona to
Speaker 1: keep your pools cool, but I will say this, the
Speaker 1: one I was into, uh it was like definitely a
Speaker 1: darker bottomed pool, so it's going to retain more heat.
Speaker 1: But this is just uh yeah, it's it is. It
Speaker 1: is a it's a new sensation when you're used to
Speaker 1: like the sensation exactly the cooling waters of Lake minnetonka
Speaker 1: um and you end up in fucking like Mongolian hot
Speaker 1: pot broth bowl. Yeah. National parks are currently overcrowded. Uh
Speaker 1: so stop if you're on your way to a national park, turnaround.
Speaker 1: The words of Kamala Harris, do not come. Do not
Speaker 1: do not come, even if you're looking for some kind
Speaker 1: of relaxation amidst all of this, do not come. It's yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know this. Pictures freak me out. So what
Speaker 1: the pictures of like lines of people like hiking up Yeah.
Speaker 1: So for example, there's like pictures of like the Arches
Speaker 1: National Park, and it's almost there's so many people it
Speaker 1: almost ceases to be like of a fun time like
Speaker 1: part of I think going on to a national park
Speaker 1: in nature is like to feel sort of insignificant. In
Speaker 1: the face of our earth, like and to see the
Speaker 1: natural wonder. But when the entire landscape is like dotted
Speaker 1: with like a ton of people like just taking pictures
Speaker 1: and stuff like, it does kind of it creates a
Speaker 1: very interesting vibe. Not to say you shouldn't go out
Speaker 1: and enjoy, but apparently because it's like they're the demand
Speaker 1: is so high. It's not just like people saying like
Speaker 1: the lines are too long to get in, like the
Speaker 1: locals are like what the fuck is going on? Like
Speaker 1: why is everybody converging here? But it makes sense. It's
Speaker 1: like one of the few outdoor places where people can
Speaker 1: kind of have some level of enjoyment and and be outside. Uh.
Speaker 1: And it'd be a like low cost outing. Yeah, Arches
Speaker 1: National Park reaches capacity and closes the skates to visitors
Speaker 1: most days before nine am because their parking lots fill up, um,
Speaker 1: which sends people to a less popular park, Kanyan Lands,
Speaker 1: more than four times the size of Arches UH and
Speaker 1: Kanyan Lands has seen its own visits jump in April,
Speaker 1: and lines to enter Kanyan Lands can stretch up to
Speaker 1: two hours during park visitation times. UM. And that's just
Speaker 1: like trash and like human waste is just like piling
Speaker 1: up around like campsites and it's just like graffitied and yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, people didn't people don't know how to act.
Speaker 1: People never knew how to act, and they're better. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I get it. Like I went to the
Speaker 1: Sequoias back at the end of the year, and it
Speaker 1: was like that was like my one glimpse into like
Speaker 1: a future where things seem normal, because it's like all
Speaker 1: these people like all trying to get their pictures with
Speaker 1: General Sherman type stuff and yeah or whatever. That other
Speaker 1: tree is the yeah, and that's yeah. Maybe maybe that's
Speaker 1: the future where like everything is treated like a Disneyland
Speaker 1: attraction and there's like lines because they're yeah, they're like
Speaker 1: literally lines to walk up the side of these hills. Um, California,
Speaker 1: I just want to do a little bit of you know, bragging.
Speaker 1: I don't know, I didn't do anything for this, but
Speaker 1: the Conservatives were doom and gloom as recently as like
Speaker 1: two months ago about the future of California. They were saying,
Speaker 1: you know, the state is shrinking because people are fleeing
Speaker 1: because of the high tax is California doom staggering? Fifty
Speaker 1: four billion dollar deficit looms. The Associated Press concluded a
Speaker 1: year ago, California is doomed, declared Business Insider. Two months
Speaker 1: before that is California doomed to keep burning the New Republic.
Speaker 1: California is doomed because of rising sea levels, according to
Speaker 1: April Eco reports. I mean, those are all true things.
Speaker 1: The one that I'm remembering is from National Review, and
Speaker 1: it was just like this state has completely been screwed
Speaker 1: by their liberal politics and their progressive values. Um. California. Actually,
Speaker 1: the latest day To read out showed the Golden State
Speaker 1: has no peers among developed economies for extending, expanding GDP,
Speaker 1: creating jobs, raising household incomes, manufacturing growth, investment, and innovation.
Speaker 1: It's been it's beating the United States of America. UM.
Speaker 1: And it added, Yeah, it's just the conservative economists and
Speaker 1: you know, thought leaders, if we can call them that
Speaker 1: once again, just couldn't be more wrong. So shout out
Speaker 1: to them for making uh, the jobs of progressive people
Speaker 1: much easier. Um and yeah, So those are the things
Speaker 1: that are trending. We are back tomorrow with the whole
Speaker 1: last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to
Speaker 1: each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't
Speaker 1: do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to
Speaker 1: you all tomorrow by
