Progressive Insurance promotes its "Name Your Price" tool as a simple, personalized solution for car insurance shopping, allowing users to specify their budget and receive matching coverage options—eliminating the stress of traditional comparisons and rate calculations. The episode uses this as a central theme while weaving in engaging, conversational content about everyday topics like lip plumpers, bee behavior, and the excitement of attending major events such as the World Cup and the 24-hour Le Mans race. A highlight is the team’s experience flying on a Goodyear blimp, where they perform a live quartet act, emphasizing the unique, surreal, and memorable nature of the experience. The episode also touches on broader consumer trends, such as Lowe’s Labor Day deals and Albertsons’ fall cough and cold promotions, while maintaining a lighthearted, relatable tone. Throughout, the host team balances humor with insightful observations on human behavior, technology, and global events, creating a dynamic and entertaining narrative that celebrates both practical advice and shared experiences.
Before we continue, we want to give a big thank you to our sponsor of this podcast, Progressive.

I have a question for you.
Okay.
I just took one glance at you.
Oh, f***.
And like, are you wearing lip plumper?
No.
Did you get something done with your lips?
No.
Oh, they're looking like extra juicy today.
What?
Doesn't his lip, did you put on like chapstick?
I put on chapstick yesterday 'cause we're filming.
That's a good chapstick if it's lasting that long.
No, I showered, though.
Maybe your beard just looks really trim over your lips and stuff.
Wait, what?
Your lips just look like a little plump.
Did you trim your beard this morning?
They look very normal.
No, I mean, I trimmed my beard and shit yesterday 'cause we're shooting.
Okay.
But. Maybe.
I don't know.
There's nothing different about my lips.
Matt, he's showing a little bit of upper lip.
That's what it is.
Yeah, a little upper lip.
I think. It's always trimmed.
I guess so.
Well, not most of the time, like half the time it's trimmed up.
I'm not making fun or anything, but I was just like, "Are you on like another little. "
I don't think you're making fun of me.
No, I just. No, I guess you just see more of my lip today.
Okay.
I've always wanted to try those like lip plumpers.
No, you don't.
No?
They f***ing hurt.
They do?
I mean, I personally don't like the feeling of them.
Why do you need it?
You have great lips.
Yeah, I do.
You have like thick. Like lip.
Yeah, you got some juicies, Jared.
Yeah.
No, but I've had like friends or girlfriends in the past put their lip plumper on me.
And just 'cause like they're like, "Oh, I want to see what it does."
And it just. It stings.
There's a bit of snake venom in it, right?
There's something in it.
It's something like that.
It's like chili oil or something.
Yeah.
It's. But like, I'm not surprised that it like stings because, again, I feel like girls, like,
they're down to go through pain if it makes them look better.
Yeah, they want to know it's working.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But like, can you put lip plumper on every day?
That seems like something you should just do on the weekends.
I don't think girls are doing plumper every. I think it's like when they're going out, like events, you know?
Just a little plump.
Yeah.
I don't think like girls are doing every day, if they're going to school, class, like work,
I don't see girls taking the time to plump their lips.
Girls, comment below.
How often do you do it?
Yeah, comment.
How often are we plumping?
Yeah.
How often do you do that?
Even the lip. You know, like the lip tint, like with the. Yeah.
Because I've seen that before.
They're not doing that all the time.
I think it's just like certain events, if they're like, you know, full glam, they look
nice.
They want to. Oh, Jared did pull up the ingredients.
There's bee venom.
Bee venom.
But it's used in some extreme formulas to trigger your body's immune response.
That's why bees. That's why they always buzz around girls first.
Probably.
Because they smell something very familiar.
You're onto something.
They're like, "Wait, I smell my booty on her lips."
"I smell booty juice."
How do you get rid of a bee?
Do you have like a hack?
I honestly, I try not to like, I think just staying still and don't bother them.
And I just don't think they'll bother you.
I got snap.
I heard snapping helps.
Is that. No, no.
That's squirrels.
Make squirrels go away?
No.
That's a baby when you push them in the pool.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Right here.
Look up here.
Yeah.
When you push a baby in the pool to see if. To teach them how to float.
Up here.
Up here.
Yeah.
It only works for wasps, not bees, but if you click your fingers, it will make wasps
fly.
This is just on Reddit.
Towards you.
Oh, wait.
If you what?
Yeah.
Apparently though, it like emits kind of like this sonic boom frequency and makes them like,
"I got to get the fuck out of here."
To me, it's so weird that bees like will go and it stinks somebody with no provoke, uh,
pervotion.
Provocation.
Provocation.
Hey.
You know what?
Provoked.
He was trying.
Without being provoked.
I think that's crazy.
I've never been stung by a bee unless I provoked it.
I've never been stung by a bee.
You've never?
No, but I think maybe I have and I didn't know, because I feel like at this age, I would
know.
No, you would know.
I would know.
Yeah.
Yeah, you would know.
Fun fact I learned about bugs and why they're like attracted to light, um, it's because
that's how they orient themselves.
Right.
So they know that like the sun during the day is like, that's up.
And so if you have like porch lights and stuff, they think it. They think it's daytime.
But that's how they keep themselves right side up.
Oh, I thought it was like crack for them.
I thought light was literally like a drug.
Give me that light.
Give me that light.
Just that big light.
I want it.
I honestly thought I had, I did not think about the sun, which is like literally common
sense.
I feel like it was just like, oh, obviously the sun.
Yeah.
No, they're just like fucking blind.
And so they're like, oh, well I have to, it's dark and I have to like stay right side up
when I fly.
But like when electricity came around, bugs had to have been just like, yo, get this.
There's these bulbs that come out at night, I can't get enough of them.
But fire, they stay away from fire, right?
They stay away from fire, I think probably because of the heat, but because fire's down
low.
And so they say, if you want lights outside, put them on the ground and then it keeps the
bugs away.
Oh.
Yeah.
Makes sense.
Really.
Good point.
Cause yeah, you really don't see like that many bugs on like low lights.
It's always like upper lights.
Yeah.
That rocked my world.
All right.
Well, let's roll into the intro.
We have a fun, exciting episode today.
I mean, like always.
Every episode.
We got a big episode.
Big, so big, right Heath?
So big.
The biggest episode of the year.
All right, guys.
Three, two, one.
It's Coffee Towel, baby.
Let's fucking go.
Ow.
I just got stung.
Welcome back to Zane and Heath Unfiltered.
I'm Zane.
I'm Heath.
I'm Matt.
I'm Jared.
And thank you for tuning in.
We're back with another episode of Coffee Towel.
Oh, like with your Wii?
Yeah, you're with your little. Well, I guess it's good for. With your Switch remote.
It's not a Wii remote.
You know, I feel like some kids,
they don't have a sense of like, you know,
it's hard to see a lot on the screen.
Maybe the thumb war is like easier for their. Like kids like me.
They can't like think, you know, so. I just would like. I don't game enough.
You know, I have a Nintendo Switch,
but like, I just don't want to like get this. I would love to go to a party where someone loves it
and gets it all set up and is like, here, play.
Yeah.
I hate being like, hold on just a second.
Wait, we have to log in.
Wait, we have to get your username.
Wait, this is your remote.
It's too much fucking shenanigans.
Yeah, and I don't want to calibrate anything either.
I feel like every time I try to do something like that,
you got to like recalibrate.
You got to point at the dots or something.
And like the remotes are off
and it's just a whole setup.
You just need the candles, Heath.
That's all you need.
You don't need a. Just set up the candles, light it up.
The only thing that I like set up,
if I'm like at someone's house,
is a Nintendo DS for that. That. That fucking. That game where you're like these characters
and you're all fighting each other.
What is it called?
Super Smash Bros.
On the DS?
What are you talking about?
What is it on?
The DS was like the little handheld. Oh, all right.
So what am I. You know what I'm talking about.
The Switch.
Okay, right.
It's not the Switch.
It's the fucking. Wii?
What?
No, it's the fucking console.
Like everybody has a controller
and you're playing the game.
Like a Nintendo 64, right?
Yes.
Okay, sorry.
Wait, maybe I sound. Insurance isn't a one-size-fits-all
and shopping for it
shouldn't feel like squeezing into something
that just doesn't fit.
With the Name Your Price tool,

Guys, I'm sorry if I seem mean to Zane.
Yeah, it was just a little bitchy.
I feel like you knew what I was talking about too.
He got the controller wrong.
Jeez, we knew what he was talking about.
My God.
Okay, if you're playing Super Smash,
what player are you picking?
I didn't have a favorite.
I think I liked Zelda
and also the one that you swallow them.
Kirby.
You poop them out.
Yes, Kirby, you got all the powers.
You just sucked in everybody
and then you had their powers.
Kirby all fucking A.
And Kirby could fly.
You'd be kicked off.
You'd be like, I'm coming back, bitch.
And once he swallowed you and pooped you out,
you're like, there's no,
you can't get out of it
unless you like fucking da-da-da-da
and then you got out of it,
but you're already down in the fucking hell.
That was one game I was never good at.
With Super Smash?
Oh, I would have thought you were amazing.
Yeah, you give big Super Smash vibes.
Yeah.
No, no.
Especially if you're a good Halo.
I never had a console that had it,
so my only time playing was at a friend's house.
And they already had all their fucking moves down,
their characters,
they knew everything
and I'd just kind of randomly pick something
and I'd be like, all right, well, you know what?
Yeah, you had to have the pros play against each other.
You couldn't just have people
that are just like coming for a good time,
just trying to have fun.
You have to like separate the two
because it's just not fun.
I was like Ness,
like the little kid with like the. Oh, you're such a Ness guy.
Yeah, kick it fire, kick it fire.
I feel like you're literally just like him right now.
I'm such a Ness guy for sure.
Nice hat, by the way.
Thank you.
Oh, I went to the World Cup, y'all.
Yes, we know, I saw it.
I went to the World Cup.
How was it?
Was it as magical as like what you would think?
I went to the US versus Paraguay,
which was like one of like the opening games of it.
And it was really cool
because I'm already going to the quarterfinals
later this summer.
So we got gifted tickets with the whole deal
that we're a part with, with Doveman Care.
So gifted by Doveman Care.
Thank you so much.
And it was dope.
It was at SoFi.
And I've been to SoFi for, you know, football games.
I've been to SoFi for concerts.
Yeah.
I had never been there for a soccer game.
And one, I had never been to a game
that was just purely for the United States, you know?
Oh, because you're like, yeah,
you're like half the time you're at games
that are like the US is not even playing
or it's not someone like in your,
you're just like watching just like a random. I've never been to the Olympics.
This is just,
so it was really cool to see one,
the United States collectively root for one team altogether.
So that was really awesome.
And God, it was crazy.
The amount of celebrities that were there.
Oh, I'm sure.
Yeah.
We get down to our seats.
We look behind us.
So we're kind of like in,
we're like 11 rows up from the pitch,
from the field.
Oh, really?
Oh my, you were close.
Oh, very close.
Oh, I thought you'd be in like a box or something up there.
So, but the celebrities in the,
like the lower boxes,
they were behind us.
We look behind us,
David Beckham.
David Beckham in the suit,
waving out to everybody
because everyone starts standing up
and looking backwards.
We're like, what's going on?
And it's David Beckham,
Victoria Beckham,
Posh Spice looking stunning.
It's like us walking through VidCon.
Yeah, right?
And that game is us walking through a YouTube convention.
And just, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We don't do it anymore.
So then we're like,
oh my gosh, David Beckham.
And then coming up right behind him,
we're joining him,
Tom Cruise.
Oh, yeah.
No way.
Tom Cruise.
Oh, yeah.
Love me some Tom.
Yes.
Fuck yeah.
Yeah.
He was just enjoying it all.
Oh, that's cool.
And then next to them,
oh, who did we see?
We saw Anya Taylor-Joy,
you know, Miss Queen's Gambit girl.
Well, did you say hi to her?
We did.
Actually, we did say hi to her
because we're friends with her.
And I was friends,
and we were roommates.
And then, oh, who else?
Oh, the cats.
I believe it was Catsop.
Who was right behind us as well.
You know, Cat's Eye?
Oh, wow.
Pulled Cat's Eye
because, like, I couldn't.
Cat's Eye.
Yeah, Cat's Eye.
They were all right there behind us.
And that was pretty cool.
Saw Jason Sudeikis,
Katy Perry.
Hilary Duff was in the house.
Yeah, pretty much like,
pretty much like,
maybe most celebrities
were probably at this game.
Yeah, Rob Lowe.
I mean, everybody and their mother
was at the game, so.
Everybody pretty much
that lived in the USA
was probably at this game.
That's a celebrity.
Katy Perry came out.
She sang, like,
kind of like,
a World Cup song
with a little boy.
Oh, I saw the clip
of the little boy.
I really liked that.
Like, it kind of gave me chills
for some reason.
Like, as soon as he started singing,
I was like,
he has such an interesting voice.
Yes, it was a lovely
little boy singing.
It worked, yeah.
And then, oh,
who sang the national anthem?
Dan and Shay?
I still don't know
which one is which,
and I refuse to learn.
Don't tell me, don't tell me.
Well, wait, no.
Is that the diners?
I learned for the first time
it was two guys.
Wait, really?
I thought Dan and Shay
were a guy and a girl.
Like a little couple duo?
I guess I don't really listen
to their music,
but every time I'm just
in my zeitgeist
of knowing Dan and Shay,
I always thought it was, like,
a guy and a girl.
I have no idea
who Dan and Shay are.
I always think Dan and Shay
were that couple on Vine,
and you never saw their faces,
and they would sing.
Oh, my.
Matt, I forgot about that.
I thought that was, like,
Dan and Shay.
I thought that's who
you were talking about.
Yeah, that's not them.
That's not them.
It's not them,
and I think that couple
broke up, like,
a long time ago.
Yes, that couple on Vine,
what was their name?
Singing couple on Vine.
You know, Vine brand deals,
that was the first time
you saw Big Money.
I could see a lot of fights
happening back then.
I could see it.
I think, yeah, they got,
oh, Us the Duo.
Us the Duo.
That just rocked my world.
Wow.
I forgot about that.
Okay, Michael and Carissa.
Not Dan and Shay at all.
Right, but in my head,
it was just,
they were Dan and Shay.
Honestly, like, Matt,
it's crazy.
It's crazy that I thought
exactly the same thing.
Honestly, any duo
that's a couple,
I just think of Us the Duo.
Damn, I forgot they existed.
They were cute.
I don't know.
I didn't like those.
I didn't understand
why did the FIFA sign
point only one way?
They couldn't make another one
for the other way?
Great point, Zane.
I think it's also like
the press and the camera
is being filmed on that angle.
Like, it doesn't switch.
Yeah, I get it.
Yeah, I get it.
So.
But the,
when you posted it,
I was like,
why the fuck did he post this
backwards?
Then it took me like a minute
to look back.
I was like, oh,
because they know someone.
Like, why would it be
That was just only there
for the opening scene.
ceremony, you know?
Because like, yeah,
it's the same thing
with like the Olympic rings
and stuff or any type of like logo.
Did it stay there the whole time?
No, no, no.
They took it up
and all of that.
And then the game started.
I got to say,
watching soccer in person
is much better
than watching it on TV.
Oh, yeah.
Because, well,
it's kind of my least favorite
sport to watch on TV
because the angle is so wide.
So far.
The ball,
the way it just like,
it can go across the field
so fast.
And it takes a while
to like see some goals.
What's the,
what's the,
what sport is the most fun
to watch, you would say?
On TV.
On TV and in person.
On TV,
probably football,
but like in person,
hockey for me.
Okay.
I love hockey in person.
Hockey.
Yeah.
I can see why.
Hockey in person
is another level.
And I feel like you're
like on the ice.
Yeah.
Like everybody is close
to the,
you're in it.
To the rink.
Yeah.
There's something about it.
I like the rhythm of football
because there's time
to like stop and think
and it's like exciting.
I like the pace of it
because you're like,
oh shit,
what's going to happen?
Oh, they got to do this.
It's possible that this
can happen
and the reward is so sweet.
Basketball sometimes
is too fast
where it's like,
oh, swish.
Oh, okay.
Wait, it's still going.
it's still going we gotta follow it over here so i would say basketball or football the sport that
like i always think about like it always seems fun to me and i think i feel like if i were to
play a sport this would be the most fun sport to play out of ever all of them is baseball i feel
like i would have so much fun playing baseball but watching it in a stadium and also on tv there's
something so boring about watching it's like you're watching them have so much fun and you
can't like have fun with them because it is a super fun game i feel like to play there yeah
baseball is way more fun to play than it is to watch yeah i do love a baseball field in general
like i think there's magic there's magic in the air at a baseball field that's why there's so
many like angels in the outfield field of dreams yeah there's like it's just this lovely stage
there's spirits there's energy in a baseball stadium and it's honestly aesthetically very
pleasing yes i do like baseball i would hate to be a baseball player because they're playing games
all the fucking time
what's their their uh their calendars are like what 200 300 games is it something like outrageous
162 regular season games that's half the damn year like just about oh my back can handle that
no you're you're never gonna see your kids worse than the military i know like a military or a
baseball player but i'm just drinking at a baseball if i'm gonna go drink i'll go to a
baseball game
because you kind of don't need to pay that much attention to it you know what i mean
we're pissing off a lot of people right now hey a lot of fans all respect all respect to the
baseball yeah sorry sorry but the soccer game it was so electric and it was so cool just witnessing
goals yeah that's really cool i'm actually that's really sick they got to go to that goal
it was such a rush it was four to one us one it was the most goals i think ever scored by the
united states in a world cup and also in like a single game or maybe a single game in a single
team so i think that's a lot of action a lot of action damn a lot nothing worse than when you go
and there's like one goal for the whole game i know so yeah i got to witness it the most goals
scored by a u.s men's team in a single world cup match is four and i got to witness it so that's
sick damn all right look at this 2019 game the u.s women's national team scored 13 holy shit wait
that's insane that's insane against thailand dude can you imagine
by like the seventh goal they're just like we got this call mercy yeah like being lost by 13
in a soccer game is i would just i would just quit i like the timing though of soccer too where it's
like it's like 90 minutes they're counted but there's like just one half but like then they add
time to it but they stop the clock but then they have this additional clock but i like you really
see how much time's progressed and you know like when it's gonna be i feel like those games can be
too you're doing so much fucking running oh yes cardio is crazy cardio is insane i couldn't you
never see a thick soccer player you know you never i've never seen a thick soccer player
it's just impossible you would literally burn it all off in one game it's a lot of running a
professional soccer player runs an average of six to eight and a half miles during a standard 90
minute match come again they're running like a 10k every single match
they have to do a lot of practice and scrimmage of even just being able to last that long too
because you have to like just to do just to be able to like um you know when people do like the
half marathon marathon you have to run every day that length for a long i'm sorry like you you first
start at two miles and five miles and ten miles and then you work your way up there and then you
have to run that a few times before you even do the marathon so imagine how much these guys are
fucking running just normally every day damn i love i love how it says goalkeepers run the least

speaking of uh fifa though the um i saw this guy make a post about because apparently they covered
all the branding for um on all the stadiums because it wasn't like fifa approved or they
didn't pay fifa whatever you know it is but i didn't think they would go as far as having to
cover the name of the stadium so the stadium was like the the dodger uh you know like the the stadium
the t-mobile stadium whatever right there cover the outside of the stadium with like a whole tarp
that's kind of crazy which is crazy because it's like oh they didn't pay fifa or which i didn't
even know that was a thing but i didn't know that was a thing either whenever they have a game in uh
in the fifa tournament they're covering it in a certain way with the tarp just like that shape
and all these brands that are being covered they're using that as their campaign brilliant
strategy just to push and now everyone's talking about those brands that are covered which i thought
was genius good move so good who thought of that i love that like so if you go to levi's that was
the levi's stadium their instagram logo on their picture is that genius so funny would have never
thought of that i love that yeah i thought that was really cool i like when people are clever
with stuff like that yeah of course very clever like that's something where you feel like if
someone came up with that idea you'd be like oh i don't think that would like i don't i don't get it
like i i just i could see that like not being taken well in a meeting of like oh what should
we do like campaign strategy but then when you see it up you're like oh that's that's awesome
it works it works gosh there were some ritzy personalities though i bet the game because you
know people are spending thousands of dollars on these tickets it's probably like when you go to a
super bowl you just you just see these like stock broker type guys that just have like a tan and
just like veneers and just like i don't know i'm like i don't know i'm like a stalker i don't know
i like it again they're just with their wives and they're just like yeah soccer we're here
it was just like oh my gosh but it was i was very lucky to get to experience it yeah that's
really cool have you seen all the videos of all like the people from around the world that have
come to america to watch these games and they're like discovering what like they're going to a
bucky's for the first time and they're even going to like just like high school stadiums
or even college football stadiums they're like this is the biggest stadium i've ever
seen in my entire life yeah like someone was blown away they took a picture of a bucky's and
they're like what do you mean this is a gas station yeah i'm pretty sure i did that too the
first time i saw it i think it was the one on our way i forget where that big one is that like i
think it still blows my mind that a bucky's is a thing yeah it should not be that big and have that
much inside what's the big one that's like on our way to somewhere is it vegas or vegas the one that
has the most pumps there's a bunch of chevron at this side i remember hitting it it's a chevron oh
it's a chevron it's just a really big one it's the one i'm talking about a chevron
yeah the one on the way to vegas is chevron well that one's massive it looks like a mall
in there i love their sodas at bucky's their cherry lime made soda is really good there's
strawberry strawberry get the orange soda it's amazing um heath yeah you were just in france
i was my dude yeah um tell us about it i don't even know where to begin it was
the most insane experience i've ever had in my entire life
so being like obviously like a fan of like racing and like history of car races like this is the most
Iconic race, the 24-hour of Le Mans is the most iconic thing in motorsport history.
It's the biggest race, 350,000 people in attendance.
Whoa.
Oh, wait, bigger than F1?
Dude, huge.
Oh, why?
Is it because it's 24 hours that, like, some people come to watch it for, like, a couple hours,
and then they leave, so they get more bodies in there to witness it, or?
Also, the track is eight miles long.
Holy shit.
Damn.
So, this whole thing, imagine F1, but way bigger, and everybody is camping.
So, all around the entire track is people in tents, RVs, just fully camped out for, like, four days.
I can't imagine an RV in France.
And then on the inside, there's, like, a whole Ferris wheel, and just, like, shopping, and restaurants, and stuff to do.
Crazy.
But, yeah, so, I went to France for five days.
We went with Cadillac.
They invited me to come film and enjoy the race.
And the most insane experience, like, just, we got to camp in there, in the Hippodrome, inside of it, which is, like, the little horse track.
Whoa.
Where is that?
I'm looking at the map right now.
Like, where were you?
Probably in the middle of it.
Because that's big.
So, you would see, like, RVs.
Dude, it's massive.
You see where the trees are, Heath, in the map?
Yeah.
Is that where, like, you'd see RVs all parked out there, like, camping?
Like, everywhere you looked was, like, tents and camping.
Got it.
It's like Disney World.
Yes.
Things to do everywhere.
It was crazy.
So.
Oh, we're literally, look, the kid's zone.
We're a lag zone.
I know it was, like, a dream for you to go to, like, one of these things out, like, internationally.
Just, yeah.
So, we got to go to all of, like, the qualifying, the Hyperpole, which is, like, where they figure out who is, like, the top people.
And then from there, it goes into, like, the placement of who gets to race.
And then the next day, they're, the race doesn't start until 4pm.
Okay.
And the reason it starts at 4pm is because, like, a hundred years ago, they would just party the night before and they would get so fucked up that it just happened.
They just started at 4 because that's when, like, everybody was like, all right, fuck, I guess we'll just, we'll just start now.
So, the reason it starts so late is because in the beginning, they were, the drivers were just getting crazy.
Yeah.
Wow.
And then they couldn't start until 4.
That's wild.
But I ended up, I didn't make the full 24 hours.
I did 20 of the 24.
Oh, you were trying to?
I really wanted to.
Just for the, you know, for the experience.
Yeah, just to say we did it.
But we were, we were nonstop the whole time, just, like, getting, we got access to, like, the pits.
So, we got to walk through, meet the drivers, hang out with, like, the, there was three Cadillac teams that were running.
Uh-huh.
Were you able to take as close shots as you did when, like, the NASCAR one?
Were you able to go, like, by the drivers, take your photos?
Like, remember, like, how close you got?
Were you able to get that close?
Yeah.
So, basically, for. We were, where we were, we were in the Cadillac pit lounge.
So, it is on top of the pit.
So, if you were in the lounge, you look over, and they're doing the pit change below you.
Oh, nice.
So, you have, like, an aerial view of it, but then they also let us go underneath during the pit change and, like, go through where all of the gear is.
Got to see, like, behind the scenes of everything, the team that is in the background that you don't realize how many people make up, like, the whole team.
There was a room full of computers with, like, maybe, like, 20 people working, looking at all the statistics of, like, the tire pressure, the fuel, doing projections for the 24 hours.
Like, oh, if we run these tires at this speed for this long. That's crazy.
We need to change drivers in two hours to swap it here to have this.
And it was just the amount of effort and energy from everybody on board that goes into this and thinking ahead.
Why does that, like, why does that, to me, feel like, like, somewhat cheating?
It's just, it's all strategy and, like, thinking ahead.
Like, oh, you get to have, you get to have, like, an entire, like, entire system of, like. Well, you have, for sports, you know, you have offensive coordinators, defensive coordinators.
You have, like, a whole coaching staff of people trying to, like, make sure you execute certain plays.
So, with, I mean. Do you know what I mean?
I'm not, like, just, like, when you just think about it, you're just like, oh. Yeah, like, the plan.
And the planning that goes into it is crazy.
Also, I had no idea, but, like, they're, the driver's doctor was in there that's monitoring, like, the levels of everything.
And there's a syringe when they come into, like, pit and stuff.
There's a syringe hooked up to a tube that has exactly what they need to make their body have the certain amount of potassium electrolytes.
And they're changing it on the go from, like, monitoring it.
Whoa.
They would run over, they would, like, hook it into, like, this tube, shoot the syringe in because, dude,
it's hot.
Like. Their internal, like, body temperature, I forget what he said, but it, like, basically, like, goes up to, like, boiling or whatever.
That's literally what I needed for this podcast.
Whenever we're recording, I just, when I start getting hot, I just need you to inject whatever it needs just to stabilize me.
Gotta stay cool.
Yeah.
And the amount of sweat, because they're in a full fire suit in the car for so many hours at all times.
There's. 24 hours.
Wild.
So, I know, you know, it's 24 hours.
There's, like, three drivers per team.
Is each driver on each team driving the same amount of time?
Or can one, like, toss in its towel and be like, I gotta sub out right now?
Or, like, is the rotation of the drivers all happening at the same time?
Or are they doing it on their own terms?
So, that's part of the team on the back end, like, seeing how the drivers are running.
And, like, okay, this guy is doing really well right now.
We need him to close us out for the 24 hours.
Because you can only run four hours max, like, one driver, within a six-hour window.
Oh.
So, they're planning on the fly, like, who's driving better, when they're expecting other drivers to be in on other teams.
So, like, they won't pull a guy off early because they know that, oh, we really need these other drivers to go this many hours before we take him off.
Dude, there's so much that goes into it.
It's crazy.
I've been a fan of, like, the endurance racing, but being there and seeing behind the scenes. I had no idea.
Just the respect that I have now for everybody involved is crazy.
Now, I know you don't drink, Heath, but, you know, for me, who likes an ice-cold beer,
if an event is 24 hours, can I still get a beer at, like, four in the morning?
Or did alcohol sales stop at a certain time?
I don't know about the times that it stopped, but you're not getting anything ice-cold anywhere in France.
Oh, good point.
It's always like that in Europe.
Figure it out.
Yeah.
You're getting a hot coffee.
With no milk.
No ice anywhere.
And the one place we did find that had ice, you asked for, like, a Coke, and you got one ice cube down in the glass.
Shit.
It's just not a thing there.
They just. They don't need it cold?
Ice just. Yeah.
They just. Don't even think about it.
The people that were attending the event, was it a lot of, like, French people, or was it very internationally represented?
There were people from all over the world at attending it?
So, basically, like, 50% of the people there were French.
And then the other. 50% were people that were all over Europe and, like, drove in.
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, a lot of people from, like, Britain were coming.
There was people from Germany there.
And, I guess, you know, some people that fly in from other countries and stuff like that, but. You probably weren't getting a lot of, like, English speakers rolling around.
No.
Or maybe a lot of them in. Maybe in your, like, little section for Cadillac.
Yeah.
Was there anybody else you recognized or any friends that were in there also with you?
Because I know they probably had, like, few influencers and few. A few people, right?
Yeah, there was only six of us in total that were with Cadillac.
Oh, you were picked out out of six?
Yeah, I know.
Crazy.
All right.
I didn't know anybody that was there.
Who won?
The 24-hour race, like, is different because there's three different classes of cars that run.
So, there's the hypercar.
Okay.
Then there's the LMP2s, and then there's the LMPGT3 cars.
So, it's a cool race because they're all running together at the same time on the track.
Oh, on the track.
At the same time.
Wait, so the different cars are racing at the same time?
It's not, like, phase one, it's this car, phase two, it's this car?
It can be your own strategy.
Well, it is kind of like F1, right?
You have hypercars.
What's that?
It is kind of like F1.
You'll have the same team driving at the same time because don't they, like, help each other get to the front?
Yeah, your teams will run. Like, you have multiple cars for your team, but there's also different types of cars.
So, you'll have, like, a Corvette also running with these hypercars.
In a different class.
Got it.
Go up, Jared.
What is that?
Is that a truck?
That looks like a hearse.
Is that a truck car?
It looks like a hearse.
Yeah, a hearse.
Put me on my way to the funeral.
The driver's in the back ready to, like, switch with you.
Just. Man, I mean, honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the thing in the future.
Just to keep. Just to save time.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's great.
I've never seen a car like that.
But our Cadillac, that was. In the running, ended up finishing in fourth place.
But our Corvette team got first.
All right.
Wow.
Nice.
For the GT3 class.
Congratulate. Yeah.
Congrats, Heath.
Oh, yeah.
It was something special.

Speaking of good, I just saw Goodyear there.
I also saw you just flew in a Goodyear blimp, which I'm surprised.
Dude, you got in a fucking blimp?
I'm surprised that you, like, did it.
I was a nervous wreck, like, leading up to it, getting ready to go on.
Yeah, I bet.
And then the takeoff.
I was like, I have to do it, like, for the lore of being able to say that,
I've been on a Goodyear blimp.
Yeah.
Because there's only four in the world.
Matt, there's four.
That's crazy.
Of Goodyear blimps.
Yes.
Okay.
Twenty, twenty-five just blimps in general.
Yeah.
Four of them are Goodyear blimps.
That propeller is way too close to the body of that thing.
Look at that.
Dude, I know.
Like, you just think I would go pop.
It's crazy.
And I didn't know there was only four.
I thought there was twenty-five Goodyear blimps left.
I didn't know there was only four out of all the blimps that are Goodyear.
Only four, and there's one in Europe.
Whoa.
That's crazy.
You can't just go on it.
You have to be invited.
Right.
That's crazy.
And so, was it loud, like, being on it?
So quiet.
Or is it, like, very quiet?
I bet.
That would just freak me out.
It felt like, so, when we were sitting there getting ready to take off,
so it's basically, what it feels like is you're neutral buoyant.
Yeah.
Like, your buoyancy is just neutral, and then the propellers will rotate.
So, they pointed it down, and during takeoff, it just, and propelled us up.
Right.
And it was faster than I thought it was going to be, and then they just spun the propellers
and then just took off.
How long were you up there for?
It flew by, but I think we were up there for about thirty minutes.
Okay.
Now, were there snacks, drinks, like, on the, the, what's inside?
Is there a bathroom up there?
You see that tiny, the tiny little basket at the bottom?
Yeah.
That's all it is.
And it felt like, kind of like, um, like a, a airplane or a bus, but just really small.
Yeah.
Was there a bathroom?
No.
Shit.
So, yeah, you gotta go.
I, Heath, what's cra, what's crazy?
I saw, when, when did you go on the blimp?
The day you went on the blimp?
Oh, gosh.
I think it might have been Sunday.
I saw your story, and I, I literally, it confused me.
So, I was like, wait, who's on?
I was like, oh, my God, Heath is on a good year, but that's insane.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I went on, I went on one the next day.
Shut up.
You did?
Monday.
You went on one Sunday?
I, I didn't post it, but I went on one Monday.
Oh, my God.
No way.
Yeah.
They, they went on one.
The very next day.
So, I was like, oh, my God, that's crazy.
Heath and I are doing a blimp in the fucking two-day span.
That's crazy.
So, one of the four, you were on, and then I was on one of the other four here in Carson.
That's wild.
And how was your experience?
It was same.
It was super smooth.
I, I, I was surprised with how, um, like, it was not like a helicopter.
It wasn't like a plane.
It was like smoother than any, any flight ride I've ever been on.
But the rocking, well, you know, when they, when you get to the top.
And they shut off the engine just to, like, start, like, just floating.
The rocking was like, it felt like you're on a boat.
Ooh.
Like, it was like.
Oh, we didn't, we didn't have any sort of, it might have been just like the wind out there.
Where you went.
Uh, a little bit.
That might have been.
I think the more wind it is, obviously, the more rocking it is.
We had a little bit of wind, for sure.
Okay.
But, like, not too, not too much wind.
But it was like, it, it still felt like super safe.
That's funny.
Yeah, no, we didn't have any wind.
Did your, did your takeoff go, like, at a 45-degree angle?
Yeah, it was, yeah, it was kind of smooth.
It was kind of sketchy, yeah.
It was rough.
I felt like I was on, like, a torpedo.
But it was, it was really cool, though.
It was really cool.
Um, they, they obviously, uh, they, they DM'd me, like, three weeks ago, a month ago.
Uh-huh.
Because I wanted to film a video on there.
And we were supposed to go, like, two, three weeks ago.
Didn't work out.
I didn't, I didn't, we didn't have time, enough time to plan.
Because it was, like, happening so fast.
So, we moved it to Monday.
And I, for my, for the video that I did, they, they were just going to invite me on.
They were like, hey, we have, um.
We have five other seats if you want to bring any friends.
And I was like, oh, that's really cool.
Like, let me, let me, like, I'm trying to think of, like, oh, okay.
Because I knew I was, like, they probably wanted me to film something.
Yeah.
So, I was like, oh, should I just, like, bring, like, five other friends and I do a vlog?
And I was like, I don't know.
But it's, like, really cool to go on a blimp.
But, like, I also, like, was imagining, like, I don't know if I'll just film a vlog of me on a blimp.
Like, I couldn't think of it.
And I was like, you know what?
I'm just going to, I'm just going to perform an orchestra on the blimp.
And instead of hiring five other people that I hired a quartet to sit in the blimp in the seats, they brought all their instruments and everything.
And I performed in the air.
And when I told blimp this idea, they were just like, no, no, we see the vision.
I let's just, we're just going to talk to our team.
Let's see if that's, I was like, have you guys ever had like a quartet?
And they're like, no, we've never had a string performance.
You went full Rosalia.
I've never had a, we'd never had a string performance perform on a blimp.
I was like, wait, is this the first one in the history of mankind, the history of just on a blimp?
I was like, that's insane.
I'm a hundred percent going to do it now because I want to be the first person that is not really fun.
That is not a string performer musical to be on a blimp and do it.
And I did it.
What song did you sing?
I don't know the name because it's like hard to say.
It's like Tudor song.
Okay.
Is it the one that we recorded?
Yes.
Nessun Dorma.
Oh, do I know it?
It's the very famous, like popular one.
Heath, remember that one that I used in the hundredth vlog?
Like time to say goodbye by Andre Pacelli.
But it's like.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I did that.
And honestly, by the time this comes out, it'll probably be out.
But I did that.
It was fun.
And we did a whole like bit on the ground.
I made it.
That whole bit was like, I was like a big, like, I was just like famous opera singer.
And I was, I arrived.
And I had a bunch of, I had a bunch of like extras as fans all like, they're just like,
just freaking out.
And then I hired security to like drop me off in an SUV.
And we walked up.
It was just like, supposed to be like, where are you posting?
Very ridiculous.
Right, right.
We'll be posted by the time people see this episode.
Probably, probably not.
I don't know.
I still, I got to edit it, but it'll probably be up.
Hell yeah.
No, no, no.
Just on Instagram.
Like a real, a real.
Yeah.
Just a real.
But it was just like very silly.
You're going to watch it.
Be like, of course, Zane did this stupid shit.
That's funny.
But yeah.
We're, um, it was so funny.
We're up there and the quartet, they were like, they were super nervous, but they were
super excited.
Cause they're like, we've never been asked to do anything like this before.
Like this is wild.
And just seeing their faces, like it was so insane to like, see them all like chatting.
Cause like, as we're like, as we're coming back after we're done filming, we're coming
back and I could see all them chatting.
They're just like, I, they were chatting to each other.
Not me, but like low enough where they're just like, I, they were so proud of, they
were like, I cannot believe we performed.
Up in a blimp like this.
Like we've, we've, uh, we've marked like history, something, just something like super, super
cute.
And it made me feel so wild.
I was like, Oh my God.
That's so obviously.
Were there other people with you on this blimp that weren't part of the group?
No, no, no, no.
We had the whole, we had the blimp to ourselves.
So that's why we're able to do that.
It was the quartet.
It was me.
And then the filmer and the other two were the pilots.
So they're just like watching this.
It was, it was, it was just, it was really fun.
I had suction cups in there.
Just like.
Getting every angle.
And I want to get it done as fast as possible because like, I was as nervous as the quartet
people.
And I looked at it.
I was like, Hey, look, I'm a little nervous too.
As let's get this done quick.
So we're up and down.
The, the fastest we can do is 30 minutes.
Let's hit 30 minutes.
Cause I want to be down on the ground as soon as we're done.
And we got it done like 45 minutes.
Oh, amazing.
Did you, did you stick your head out the window?
I did not, but they let you do that.
The windows are so big where you're able to like open it and let the air come through.
Cause you're not like Matt.
It was crazy.
Oh yeah.
I just would think so.
It feels so fresh.
No, it's the best air I think I've ever gotten.
It felt so good.
Oh man.
It was a cool too.
I was nervous.
They were all like, you got to stick your head out.
Cause we had multiple windows.
So I had my camera and I was taking pictures and videos through the window.
Yeah.
And then they were like, no, you have to put your head out.
So we stuck our head out and was just looking down.
Oh my God.
Oh no, I wouldn't have liked that.
And then, and then I had my phone and I stuck my phone out the window like this and I was
like.
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
Please just don't drop it.
I know my intrusive thoughts would just be like, but like how scary, can you imagine
just like dropping your phone?
You're like, where is it going to land?
Who is it going to land on?
I fucked like just that, like stress.
As soon as you drop it, like, oh my God, I could be in jail at some point.
It lands on the track, causes a wreck.
I'm like scary, but that's, wait, that's really cool that we got to ride on one, like in separate
world, separate regions.
Yeah.
That's so sick.
And you were a date.
That's crazy.
That is so dope.
That's sick.
Wasn't it huge though?
Like the blimp itself.
Heath, it was so much bigger.
than i thought i when we're driving in i was like massive and it was this weird thing is i was like
oh my god i can't believe this i had this blimp to myself and i felt so i felt so like blessed in
that moment because i was like you can't just you can't just ride it like you can't i mean i'm sure
you could spend a lot of money to ride it if you really wanted to but like it was so crazy like i
definitely had like imposter syndrome at this point i was like i just can't believe i have this
like opportunity to like film a whole video and it's like my it's my blimp for the next 45 minutes
it was so weird weird feeling did you go on the one that had the bucket in the center or more
towards the front because there's two different sized ones oh it was uh more to the front holy
okay yeah it was the same one as me did it say zeppelin on the roof no no mine just said good
year no no no inside the cabin did you look up oh fuck i don't know i didn't look up he i was
stressed the fuck out you know how i am when i when i'm doing shoots like this i couldn't think
of anything i couldn't even dude i i honestly don't even remember being up in the air like it
was just such a dream
like a dream because we were just like as soon as we started as soon as we were able to tear our
seatbelts off and my head was like zane just focus like get this done you have to now worry about a
whole quartet that needs to all like be synchronized they can barely hear because they have to play the
music that that like was created yeah the version so they could barely hear it they're like i could
see them like trying to hear it and we'd have to redo sometimes and i was just like let's just get
this done and we got it done so like it was it was crazy it was crazy this thing is massive look
we did the one on the top is the one we were on it's big it was more than 80 yards massive
much bigger than we thought it was wild wow how do you even become a blimp pilot if there's so
little out there yeah how do you get into that position i would have had that it's so many
questions how do you even become like whereas like i want to be a blimp pilot so it says to
become a blimp pilot you generally need to be hired by an operating company like goodyear which
provides in-house training for an airship rating okay but that has to be so competitive then but
like you have to have your commercial pilot license okay and you have to have a minimum of
you know over a thousand hours and you know what those pilots they were i've never seen any pilots
like that pilots like that they seemed like they worked in the milit like in the air force for
fucking years like they were so they were just so at they were just so fucking locked in it was a
girl and a guy and i don't know they to me i just felt like they had the most years of experience
in the control panel to me it just feels like it's probably something out of doctor's suit
it was actually it was so pretty that whole inside of the blimp was actually really really
like pretty like it was it was it was really beautiful like right there that's what it looked
like oh okay so it does look really nice yeah okay i just was thinking like it was just ultra
simplistic to me it didn't look that complex it just looked like a like an aircraft like you know
but it was really nice like they did a good job with it fuck yeah honestly i could do it again
it was like very it was it was not did they um did they give you a little certificate card
no oh what certificate card i didn't i didn't get one either then shut up no what is it wait
does it have to do with cadillac or was like a good year blimp certificate no it was a good year
flight certificate that said my name and it was signed by the pilots as like proof that you've
been on the good year blimp oh that's badass yeah i have one of those damn zane you didn't get that
you know like also you know who would have really liked one to the quartet people
yeah they were so excited they were like they they were really excited to be all right i'm
gonna i'm gonna hit him up i think we can get that yeah for sure unless it has to be in person
that's like the rule you don't you know if you forget that's it no you can't you only uh only
get it on day of flight and you can't go right again because that's not considered the first
time no you just don't have a certificate anymore all right i'll ask them i'll ask them i want because

yeah i'm like so shook up about oliver tree i saw you guys texting about it so it was on the bus back
to paris when we when you told me about the news like i was almost back to the um the airport to
leave and i sat there in silence for the entire bus ride i was just like i i don't i still like
don't believe it right that makes sense and i'm still in shock texting you guys
just out of the blue oliver tree i mean no that's just i mean i feel like that's just normal it's
like what that's it's just like if someone like that's so talented you know someone that we all
know someone we've all seen like i've seen this guy like quite a few times in person yeah he used
to work out the gym a lot and yeah when i think when you see someone in person even once i think
it's just like it's different it's just like it doesn't feel real oh no and at first yeah when i
saw like this screenshot like you know the google screenshot where they said they're dead i was like
this is not real
true like or because he was all big about like just stunts and doing the most crazy stuff so i
was just like this is not this is this isn't true i was so in denial about it and uh no it's just
yeah it's really sad he was about to do his whole world tour yeah it was the biggest world tour ever
like every continent he was going to be performing on it was like and he it looked like something
really exciting for him that like he looked like he really planned out he was super like looking
forward to had this whole leg of the tour and it's just like
it was almost his birthday too i just felt like he was just on such a high and also the other
content creators that were with him and even the pilots on the crash like yeah it's like heart goes
out to like everyone and all their families it's just oh it's just scary it's fucking freaky and
just like shit like that happens and it's it's wild and but beautiful like right now he's the
most listened to artists across the world right now it is weird like when you die like your stuff
still lives on and even gets like more recognition than it did when you're alive and i'm not going to
and i'm not saying that's a good thing but it's there's beauty in that i guess he said that he was
saying that in a uh because it was obviously all his content was being shared him and him on
podcast talking about it and one of the clips was him talking about how it's crazy how um when
artists die they like the amount of people that like find them like new listeners is like
10 x's and he was even saying like when i die like i know that nobody that knows me and nobody
that will ever listen to me will listen to my stuff and it was just so eerie like hearing that
i'm like i feel like the whole world now knows oliver tree like now when i feel like he was such
a niche like a musician and artist just such an inspiration for all kids that are into the arts
that are weird and yeah funky and just not being afraid to be themselves like he marched to the
beat of his own drum you know yeah we lost a good one for sure for sure so r.i.p oliver tree r.i.p
rest in peace bud and then did we watch that documentary yes maternal
instinct oh my god matt i have i just why did they need to put out so something so fucking
traumatizing on on netflix it was i i've seen a lot of horror movies i've seen many horror movies
of different horror genres i've seen it all i've seen it all and nothing has come close this takes
the cake out of like true crime it was a documentary that netflix put out by matt or
heath whenever you have the time actually honestly you know what i think i mean we'll give you the
skinny of what went down yes it happened out like in texas you're like texarkana this uh girl what's
her name taylor parker yeah so like the beginning of the documentary opens up and it's police camp
footage tell me tell me a little bit but don't tell me too much okay actually this is the first
five minutes this is the first five this is the first five minutes of the documentary
so a woman is speeding and she the woman who's driving is on the phone and it's recorded with
like the emergency dispatch and she's like you know there's a cop who's on
my tail but i just gave birth to a baby so i'm trying to get to a hospital the cop pulls her over
and she like has this baby umbilical cord like severed in uh her you know lap and she's like
the baby's not breathing i'm trying to get to the hospital please please please i just need to get
there and they're like all right ma'am calm down we're gonna get you to the hospital blah blah and
ambulance comes they take her to the hospital and they're like something doesn't add up this woman
does not seem like she has given birth she's refusing to let us check her to make sure she's
in the hospital and they even get you know a full ob gyn like certified
doctor to come in and he's like ma'am i gotta check and he looks at the
tops like on the body cam footage he goes that woman did not have a baby that baby's not hurt
about i heard about this where did this baby come from so that's kind of the beginning of the
documentary and then it goes way back into just this girl her life and how she found this guy who
was a rancher i just i just got chills again thinking about saying i just got goosebumps it's
it's the most insane documentary i've ever seen and if you the thing is that because it has to do
with a baby that's why i was like oh maybe don't watch i feel like it's like because i but it is
i went in so fucking blind to this and i took a week and i will so the first half i'm laughing my
ass off because this girl they dive into her life how she was just kind of this compulsive liar with
friends and stuff really obsessing over whenever her friends got pregnant and everything she also
had two kids she had two kids already when she was younger yeah and then she marries this new
uh guy
uh says she thinks she's pregnant says she has you know well now you're going too far into that
well i mean i guess we can but then but i'll tell this so she's pregnant he pregnant tell all her
friends posting pics of her with her belly oh the uh her belly's moving all of this stuff but
meanwhile her true friends who know her from way way back are like she can't have kids she had a
hysterectomy but she's pregnant but she's pregnant so she's posting all the social media and then the
whole thing fucking unfolds oh my god it is insane it's insane and i after that after watching that i
was texting jared and i was like i this has genuinely brought me trust issues like like
serious trust like i i because you know i'm so open but watching something like this i was like
you truly don't know anybody you truly don't at all you truly don't the way my jaw hit the floor
because that hysterectomy part comes in like the
first 20 minutes or something that's kind of like the end of the first act like i that was the first
time i i was laying on my bed i sat up and i was like what yeah like i screamed yeah because i was
just like oh this took a way crazier turn okay but we'll stop there heath your homework watch it
watch it yeah and then we'll dive deeper into it oh i got it my god but man heath just get ready
and shout out to the person either on like patreon or facebook
i can't remember where i saw the comment but it was after we talked about the crash
last week and they were like oh if you like that you have to watch maternal instinct and then
that i i saw that and i was like you know what i'll give it a watch went in totally blind and
then i texted you guys i was like you have to watch this yeah because i was just giggling so
hard for the first half and patricia she knew more about this case and she's like matt you have no
clue what's coming yeah because i'm i'm just laughing over just someone faking a pregnancy
yeah yeah
just someone who's just like yeah like i feel like i'm lying i feel like i i know someone i
know a couple people in my life that like has either done shit like this or would do something
like this that's why i was i was laughing at this lady because in my head i was like
just wanting like the attention and yeah it's like like it's common people do act like this but
maybe you wanted maybe it's darker maybe these people that act like this that you know in real
life maybe they do have that like they could do something like that if they just need to be
taken there you know yeah but yeah heath watch it come back everybody uh also everybody also
watching listening watch it come back we'll get into it oh you know what movie i saw
michael oh oh how was it what'd you think i three and a half out of five stars in my book because i
felt like the movie could have been like stylized a little bit better like it didn't have like a i
don't know amazing cinematic grit i don't think like it maybe could be nominated for some oscars
but uh his nephew did a
really good job and i think it really before we continue we want to give a big thank you to our

for details michael jackson i didn't realize how much of a visionary he was to his own work yeah
like especially leaving the jackson five and being in this place where it's like i need to reinvent
myself and coming from the abuse of his father and being made fun of for his looks and yes he
was altered his uh you know persona in so many ways but the vision he had for like the thriller
album and him believing himself and manifesting all that was really beautiful to see yeah it was
a very it was i was very inspired by it sorry to take that and completely flip it did you watch the
documentary of him on netflix the verdict
or whatever have you ever seen that okay so zane and i when zane was here we watched like a little
bit of the first episode i fell asleep but i actually i went home and i actually watched it
a few days ago yeah yeah i finished it um first of all like i i really appreciate documentaries
that come out over like when someone makes a documentary about something that was huge
from back then when i was younger i like i i never really look into stuff like you know
we obviously all heard the allegations i never looked into it just because i was so young at
the time and i didn't really know him i just know his music is popular
and it's still very popular now and people like really love him still so i just always like
thought it thought of it as oh it was probably just a conspiracy or people were just like making
up lies whatever i watched the documentary and i was like i was genuinely shocked in what way
i i know when you watch documentaries it's heavily skewed like you know people like
obviously whoever makes a documentary if they are against or for someone they will make the
documentary based on their views on the person we know that but i mean they were putting they were
putting evidence they were putting uh footage of different like and which side does it lean to
that he's innocent or guilty he's guilty i mean the way i saw it the way i the way it was like
edited i'm pretty sure it was it was framed that way and man i think you need to look i'm again i
don't know i but this documentary i i have i'm looking at him in a different light oh interesting
you should watch it i i it was really because if this was happening now no way yeah absolutely like
if he was alive today there's no fucking way that would have cried and that whole jury would have
never um uh put him as uh not guilty the thing is i want to see an unbiased documentary about it
because like you said like yeah the movie is very pro michael this i haven't seen this but i've seen
several clips of people not debunking uh this uh series or this documentary but they're they like
took a clip that they put in the
the documentary and they're like well here's the context of the whole clip and then they show the
whole clip yeah and it makes it seem so much more innocent than the the five seconds it's in the
documentary or something and so i just want a full unbiased compilation of all of all of it you know
to really tell the full story what really so the there's one piece of footage that really just like
it just hit me i was like that's really interesting is when they showed that footage footage of that
kid that was being interviewed by the
um by the um by the police the way he was talking about it i was like kids can't lie like that okay
it's it's like really like just again i'm not like a but i was watching it and i'm watching this i'm
like did touch the children you have to watch that footage he did have like a very i believe
michael jackson a very inappropriate relationship with children i believe like yeah granted i don't
know shame on the parents though for like letting their
children hang out one on one i mean i think it was like all around just like i think the only
victims entire thing what was the was the children because the parents yeah there was like this
because of who he was and how big he was there it was just like a blanket like they couldn't
couldn't see past right that it was this was a an icon because he was he was the most famous
celebrity in the world and it's like you know your brain just fucking doesn't work anymore when
like michael jackson's like have your kids come to the neverland ranch it's like absolutely excited
they get to have their kids go to the yeah yeah and sleeping there is like so yeah it's just
inappropriate completely oh my god i'm checking out yeah yeah i would love for all everyone did
you watch the full thing yet no i just watched that little bit when you were here but like
him sitting there with the kid talking about him sleeping in his bed yeah and like acting like
there was nothing like weird about it but just what you should you guys should watch it i really
want to hear your thoughts me i usually i can see past um
uh, defaming, like bad, like bad documentaries, like, or like one
side of documentaries i'm able to look past it when you see footage yeah i mean yeah i'll check
it out when kids are talking to officials i don't think that kid was an actor it's like he wasn't
like this right kid actor that's not what they mentioned in the documentary or unless they
hit it but you're when you're watching him talk about that type of shit it's dark and it's it's
it's pretty tough to lie about that i think when you're good it is interesting like the the michael
movie ends at i forget it's like right after the jackson like final tour or something like that
and it just ends on like a black screen and it's like his story continues yes they filmed the whole
like rest of his story oh they've already shot it well they shot it and then they had to take it out
because of like uh some deals in these like verdicts and like plea deals or something like
that with these court cases sorry i'm sorry what were you like the first thing you said
are you talking about the movie
yeah
the movie
michael the movie um the the whole second half of it was taken out because there were deals with
like the the court cases in which like that can't be portrayed on screen and like even though it's
auto by or not auto it's biographical it's like it can't be fictionalized or sensationalized or
something and if you paint a whole different picture than what the victims go through like
there can be serious legal trouble with that yeah so like i think they filmed all of it
that but then when they went to like review it during the editing process they legally had to
take all that out that's why it kind of the movie ends pretty abruptly and it just says like his so
there's not going to be a second one i don't think so i legally i don't think they can and i'm
surprised uh this documentary didn't go into the death at all oh really not not even a sliver of it
the only it ends with like a black screen you know talking about the black screen and kind of like
give you like a ending of what happens they didn't go into the death at all they didn't go into the
death at all they just mentioned he died four years later after the after the not guilty
sentence and i thought like i thought they would go into that because i thought that whole thing
was really weird too yeah because death wasn't that like a whole thing oh that was for people
or was that just sad oh it was just sad but there was like a big court case with the person who was
like administering him anesthesia just so he could sleep and uh was doing things that he should not
have been doing as a doctor and so yeah he was convicted of manslaughter in 2011 i was doing
i remember the day he died i was doing p90x i was doing p90x and my mom's friend called me and she's
like can you turn on the tv and see if michael jackson died i'm like what and you had to keep
the tv running so you had to keep the wheels turning yeah me doing the ab ripper just like
oh no oh oh sorry i thought like you were mentioning p90s like p90 not a peloton no
workout um but then i get like i i personally i don't have like any thoughts on michael jackson
and i'm sorry if i offended any everybody because i know he's like it's like a taylor swift i feel
like there's so many fans like the fans are crazy right about michael jackson i just it's just it's
so great it's such a interesting man like there's nobody like him i know like he was literally like
a cartoon character like everything he did with his features he was an enigma yeah it was just
like he's just different and it's so like it's it's just like tough like he i feel his brain
needed to be studied i feel like after i seriously you know what i mean just like i just want to know
the truth behind if he really like if the the high
voice was his real speaking voice have you like heard of that not conspiracy but that thing where
like people kind of close to him at that time were like oh yeah michael jackson like his actual
speaking voice was really deep and like you would use it sometimes if you like yeah serious or
something i've seen clips of that we're like yeah you can catch him like laughing or like
having a little line here and there and he sounds like not his like voice that he gave out to the
like why why people do that or why artists will do that just like really just change their voice
even if they're forcing it all the time like it's not not natural what i've heard is that he spoke
that high in order to main maintain a high register for his singing the whole time got it okay oh yeah
it just helped him stay high yeah when he's performing makes sense because if he had a deep
voice i don't think it would sound no anywhere near no yeah that was like the that was like the
magic behind it easier to hear i don't think it would sound anywhere near that good i thought it
to talk to children heath you're gonna look at me and tell me that i'm wrong i don't know it's just a
little bit more approachable you know even what like when i watched scary movie three remember
scary movie three when they did that we did a whole had a whole character like a michael jackson
character in it yes i still didn't even really know like i just thought that character was funny
in the movie it didn't like when the first time i saw that i didn't even really register the two
