The 2024 RTrendC 7/17: Republican National Convention, 'The Bear', The Embassy, Paris Olymics

<p>In this edition of The 2024 RTrendC, Jack and Miles discuss the Republican National ConventIon (feat. Grindr?), 'The Bear' breaking the Emmy record for a comedy series (which is quite a feat for a powerfully unfunny show), Drake having a wet hot (and probably stinky) Canadian summer at The Embassy, the Paris mayor having a similarly stinky swim in the Seine and much more!</p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>

There’s more news and less comprehension today than any historical period that didn’t involve literal witch trials, and trying to stay on top of it all can feel like playing a game of telephone with 30 people, except everyone’s speaking at the same time and like a third of them are openly racist for some reason. From Cracked co-founder Jack O’Brien, THE DAILY ZEITGEIST is stepping into that fray with some of the funniest and smartest comedic and journalistic minds around. Jack and co-host Miles Gray spend up to an hour every weekday sorting through the events and stories driving the headlines, to help you find the signal in the noise, with a few laughs thrown in for free.
