Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of a

My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is mister Miles.
Speaker 2 (00:17):

it bother you?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I like to yell.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I don't know. I need to get my I need
to get my blood up. Okay, yeah, I get it.
That's It's really not for me, It's for you. And
in that way, I honor that. I think I have
to put my my sensitivity aside. I think because it's
one of the first things we record.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I'm like, let's just just fucking chill out, dude. Why
don't we just be chill about this?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, all right, anyway, that's mine, you know, because yeah,
because then you're gonna be like, yeah, my name is
Jack O'Brian.

all right, yeah, why not? All right?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
This is the episode where we tell you what's trending.
It is Tuesday, October twenty eighth. News to me, that
seems I guess Halloween's coming up.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
What do we got going on in the news.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
We got another once in a century storm happening in
the past couple of years. Melissa is being described as
a Jamaica's storm of the century. We keep hearing that
designation used. I feel like, probably time to start acknowledging
(01:46):
that these aren't happening once every century.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I've been pushing for naming them after fossil fuel executives exactly,
And I just I want to put out a specific pitch.
I think this should be called Hurricane. Darren Woods, that's
the CEO of Exon, and he young man grew up
(02:13):
around military basis because his father was a military supplier,
and then he took over for Rex Hillerson and his
specialty is oil refining.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh great, but I think it's it's I think I've
actually found there is someone named Melissa who works at
Exxon Mobil. So I think we can just call it.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Find that person.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Melissa Bond, vice president of Subsurface and subc at Exon Mobil, Welcome.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, here you go, there you go. Just add the
last name on yeh. On October fifth, twenty twenty, Bloomberg
News reported that Exon was set to increase its annual
carbon emissions by about seventeen percent. By the way, Exon
the first company, maybe the first people to know about
climate change, like started doing testing in the eighties. They
(03:02):
were like ahead of it. They were like, oh, this
is true, is this real? I shut the fuck up
about it and then found out it was real and
promptly started spending money, not to reverse it, but to
convince people it wasn't real.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, they put their thing down, flipped it, and reversed it.
That's what they did. This storm it's everyone. I mean
they're saying it's They're like, it's rivaling other storms that
were thought to be the most powerful, like starting in
the Atlantic, Yeah, one hundred and eighty five miles an
hour when they expect like structure failure, it's going to
be catastrophic, and it's just touchdown.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
So it's already bit blamed for at least seven deaths
Jesus So yeah. Darren Woods.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Darren Woods named one of the US's top climate villains
by the Guardian in twenty two after Exon lobbyists were
captured on video revealing the company's efforts to obstruct climate
legislation in Congress. Darren Woods Hurricane, Darren Woods.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Hurricane, Darren Woods. Let's talk.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Let's talk Halloween. Let's kick it off with a little
Halloween because fun sized candy getting even funner this year.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Smaller, yes, unfortunately, yes, there was smaller. We're gonna see
more shrinks flaps with sizes of candies. And also so
I expected them to shrink the size of candy. I
did not expect them to change the recipe. They're actually
scaling back the amount of chocolate that is in the
(04:37):
candy and adding sugar.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So drop weight, every add sugar. Let's see who we
got here. So some specialty chocolate makers are reducing the
cocoa content in their bars and increasing the sugar, like
selling a bar with sixty five percent cocoa content, so
seventy five percent. Hershey told its retail partners in May
that it would adjust its price pack archite. What the
(05:01):
fuck kind of price pack architecture.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Price Dude, we're we're fucking we're stepping on the cocoa
just so you know. We're cutting that shit with fucking
baby laxative now, so it's not gonna be as pure
as it used to be, and we're changing our price
back architecture. I like that there.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
So they're shrinking it, but they're adding sugar. They're like
maybe they're like, we don't want to reduce the harm
we're doing.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
We well, I think it's just a make up for
the lack of chocolate, So like, well, shit, it's got
to at least be sweet sweet brown is what they're
going to be calling it pretty soon, not even fucking chocolate.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Sweet brown bars. Yeah, I'm in favor of adding sugar
to everything because I a bit of a sugar freak.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, I'll do it to you.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
But apparently this has been going on for a while.
Last year, someone went viral for discovering a fun sized
bag of Eminem's that had a single eminem in it.
I mean, and it wasn't a big eminem it was
just you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, got a bad hand
to cards on that one. Sorry.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah. Look, look, sometimes you're gonna get the rare single
eminem bag. But yeah, it feels appropriate.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Our writer and rival because he's from Toronto. A JM
McNab was pointing out. He was asking a good question,
how did we let candy companies get away with branding
the idea of getting less candy fun? Yeah, and so
not not the most fun origin of course. So you
(06:28):
know back in the thirties when they started giving out candy,
so it used to be a fruit holiday and people
were like, no, we can't really monetize that. Yeah, you
just have a like sack of peeled bananas, the pre
field kid, just a free field, just fruit flies. You
gotta eat them now, you got it. They're about to
go off holiday for children and fruit flies.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
There's nothing worse than holding an unpeeled banana, Like I
have to do that constantly with my kid. I'm like, dude,
this is the just eat it in the peel. He's like,
I don't like getting the peel. Yeah, And I'm like, fine,
I'll hold it, just give me your leavings.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
It's started a great depression. They were like, not everybody
can afford these full things. So the candy bar makers
experimented with Junior. It was like their name for the
smaller which I remember that.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, yeah, from the depression.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Man, Yes, I remember that cooking up my scrapple and
then in the uh, well you know about scrapple, man,
that's a Philly delicacy, Philly delicacy heart just thick blowney,
just thick slices that I feel like they. I feel
like scrapple is essentially to Bologney what orange juice with
(07:43):
pulp is to like the pulp stranger. There's just like
chunks of shit in there that yeah, you don't know,
we don't know its origin, nor do we want to.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Look. It's organ meat and flower, dude, so it's like
a thick loaf. Dude, all nice. I want to have
some scrapple anyway, So.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
We're getting some scrapple, We're getting some haugies.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Hey, let me get a let me get a scrapple
legg and cheese. Are we close to having like bringing
this concept of like, well, because we are acknowledging the
you know, economic gulf between people in this country that
they're just going to be like fun sized milk, fun
sized bread Junior Thailand. I mean, there is there is
(08:29):
exactly but you get.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, I see, I see what you're getting at. Yeah,
I mean, why not. It's it's funny that coach like
or economy class like, they should just call it fun class.
It's the fun part of the airplane. They're going to
go back there. That's what they're going to rebrand, like steerage.
They're gonna put people in the belly of the planet,
like it's chili down there, just so you know, Yeah,
(08:51):
bring a coat. You can slow the aging process because
you actually freeze your body.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, I'm flying premium fun class. It's flight I mean
spas or doing man like cold cryo therapy. Just throw
them down and steer it. Yeah, but they know, yeah,
they're not that crowd ain't going for the cryo therapy.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Mars came up with the fun size thing and made
it a part of like a healthy eating trend in
the sixties and started marketing it as like a good
idea for school lunches, basically fucking a nibble above candy bar,
basically health food.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, I like that. I mean it's like, I mean,
it's like such it's such little processed sugar bullshit that
like fun size is basically like eating an Apple.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I only smoke fund sized Marlboroughs aka Marlborough Lights. When
other companies tried to use the term fun size, Mars sued,
I mean they trademarked the word fun for candy bar use,
but yeah, it's it's also dieticians say that it can
be the worst size possible because you're not thinking of it.
(09:57):
You're not like, oh, I just had a candy bar
thinking of it as like dude, I just had, of
course a bite of the can.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Don't you have that same sort of fucked up, tortured
logic when you eat these? I ate bro So we
were in this new neighborhood there might be trick or
treaters this year. So her magicy like bought a fucking
you know, like a bag of like mixed twigs and Snickers.
But it's like green inside, like fun shit. The way
I is that part of the shrink. This is definitely
(10:29):
unperfis not an oversight because the FDA is slipping. No,
this was like just it's intentionally green. But the the
way I was like, well, I feel like three fun
sized Snickers and four fun sized twigs equals half a
Snickers and half a Twix Sot's and then like I
(10:49):
look at the pile of wrappers next to my like
on my desk, and I'm like, this is humiliating, just
the volume, because but it is fun. It is fun.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah, I'm basically pre diabetic for the whole month of
November because my kids like, they like fruit, like they were,
we kind of raise them on fruit. They don't get
a lot of candy, and they somehow like forget about
their candy stash.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh yeah, I feel like you say this every and
I do not.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I certainly do not forget. They're putting you at risk exactly. Yeah,
think about your old man kids, you know what I mean.
Any any candy bars you're particularly looking forward to consuming.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Bro I love I love mister goodbar Good. It's my
one weird stoopid like the one everyone eats. I would
like inherit those. I love the special dark chocolate ones.
But the way I eat that, I let it melt. Damn.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
You're like, I don't.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Want that shit, baby, I put that out. It's like
packing a lip, but bottom let just lip is packed
with dark chocolate, dark chocolate. Man into my bottom lip,
twigs kick cat fucking I mean everything, I just don't
want for me. I'm like one of those kids. I
don't want hard candy. I just want chocolate. Yeah, yeah,
any if it's got chocolate, we're good.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, my kids are when we're into the non chocolate candy.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
So again I'm oh, my god, like what like fucking mamba?
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I mean they like mamba. They like the Nerds Clusters,
which they have to, I have to admit. So we
we had so many trigger teers have to buy at
least two thousand pieces of candy every year, and this
year I had the two thousand and the shopping cart
and then I saw the Nerds Clusters. It was like,
I gotta do it to them, got to do it,
(12:30):
do it for them?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, the children meanwhile, cut to you eating them all
in the dark exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
And also the ship. The also the cost right now crazy.
I didn't mention that, but that bag.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Was like fucking like twelve bucks. Yes, yeah, a little
bit of fun and twigs.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Fortunately I am a bit of a vip at Ralphs
in that I'm a Rouse member and so okay, I
got some nice discount.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I get the savings too, but still like it used
to buying Halloween, can it usould be like an afterthought,
were like, yeah, we used to still that in the car.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, I still spent entirely too much money. But they
show you like as the money is being discounted, and
that gets me everything. And like these poor fucking they
do suckers.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
They go like this, they go, Okay, here's your total.
Actually let me and now with your club savings, I say,
got them making money here?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah right, uh, let's take a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back. Some other news stories. The
anti vax movement is spreading its wings and coming for
(13:52):
pet owners as well. And this makes sense, yeah, coming
for all of our asses as a result, because the
things that pets get vaccinated for include rabies and other
diseases that can spread to humans. And there's seen a
human with rabies before. Have you seen like those old
(14:13):
like like test videos of like a person who's had rabies.
I've seen twenty eight days later and that is plenty
that works.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Okay, yeah, same thing. Oh yeah, I wants split hairs here.
It's it's it's not normally yeah, bro, that's I feel
like all I had to see was like an old
grainy like you know, silent film of a person with
rabies from like the forties that I was like, yeah, fuck,
it looks uncomfortable. Yeah, I like drinking a glass of water. Yeah,
(14:42):
you know, they're the fear of water.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
That's like one of the most fucked up things about
it is just like that idea that you like suddenly
are afraid of water.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah real, yeah, yeah, Oh it's from nineteen twenty nine.
I think it's like a famous one Cook County hospital.
God Jesus, and it's like you don't survive once. Once
it gets to that stage, you're done. But yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
The New York Times interviewed a bunch of veterinarians who
are like, yeah, you thought you thought it was only
like pediatricians dealing with this shit, Like, you know, this
used to be the boring part. You get a new
puppier kitt and bring it in. They get their shots
and they're allowed to be like out in the world
after that. Otherwise they're at great risk. But that was
(15:25):
obviously before the pandemic pulled the wool from all of
our eyes and showed us that vaccines are just a
plan to take over the world by vaccinating pets.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
That's how they're gonna get the microchip in my dog,
not the act, the literal microchip I put in them.
That's fine. The other one they.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Are doing it. They do suggest that you microchip your dogs,
so I can see how they're getting paranoid. It does
suck because this is this coincides with private equities takeover
of veterinary medicine. So people are getting screwed and like
having the health of their pets like held hostage by
(16:09):
companies trying to take money from them.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
You know, I bet the next pandemic is gonna come
from a fucking dog park in Santa Monica, right, you
know what I mean? Those are the people in LA
who are like so woo woo, fucking dumb fuck you know,
like vaccines, and then they're like, and my dogs, so
when they get fucking parvo from like sniffing the dog
(16:35):
shit at the dog park or some other preventable disease.
It's this is the thing that really blows my mind
is like so many of these people who are anti science,
they think that all of the stability that they are
experiencing right now is because it's just it's just ambient.
It's like a law of the universe. It's not, because
(16:56):
this is all being held up by a scaffolding of
modern medicine and science. Right, so it's like, oh, yeah,
my dog doesn't need a VACU. I mean, who even
knows about sick dogs anyway, because people's fucking dogs are vaccinating,
okay exactly, So you don't get to be like it's
like being on a plane. It's like, well, we don't
need the wheels to fly flying right now, it's like,
well you need them to land. Fuck face, what do
(17:18):
you can do?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Just crash the plane In the same way with all this,
like this insistence that all of the stability you have
is just a given. It's not because this is we're
actively engaging with the best medical practices, but we've made
it invisible because we just like don't.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Read to it. It's so stupid about it.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
And then they're like actively taking it apart. And there
are people who are actively doing that and we're not
allowed to. You know, nobody talks about their names because
they're like private equity companies that are basically hidden behind
very boring legal protections. But there is the front from
the article. It is out there, the concept of pautism.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Fuck off, what what do you mean, what does that mean?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
People are like, my cat got vaccinated and it got
stop making different kinds of trains. The concept has no
scientific basis. The idea that vaccines cause autism and people
has been repeatedly debunked, and autism is a diagnosis that
does not exist in other species. But don't let that
stop you.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I mean again, this also makes sense too, because right
the first thing that you feel like you're in control
of and can completely put at risk because you have
some weird god complex is your children. And then if
the next level of that is your pets, because they're
they're like, well, these are the things that are I
have to take care of, and I'm just going to
determine you don't need a fucking whatever kennel cough vaccine
(18:43):
or parvo or all the other things that you need.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, I think you might be onto something with the
Santa Monica thing from the article, Several vaccine preventable illnesses,
including leis birosis, leptospurosis, and rabies can spread from pets
to people, and he points out dogs are sharing our
heads with us now, they're kissing our children's faces. That's
especially in Santa.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
In some houses. I mean it's a cultural thing. But yeah,
that's uh, like I said, it's gonna happen. It's gonna
happen in a dog park in Santa Monica. It's gonna
be the fucking wet market in Wuhan, Okay is the
new fuck is the Santa Monica dog park with all
these people who are just gonna be completely the heads
in the clouds because it's like yippie the crystals, Yeah,
(19:29):
might be.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Crystal.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Oh how it has a yoniag in right now?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
What?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fine. The dog's fine.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It's really helped with its a made up diagnosis autism.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Like that's so fucking that's so dial that's where we're at.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, also like imagining, like because I'm pretty sure like
my dog would would have been diagnosed. Uh, it had
some interesting tendencies, you know, like you can you could
convince yourself of anything with dogs, oh, just reflecting off
of your behavior, you know, like yeah, gee, I think
(20:10):
my dog had depression for sure, but it didn't.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Just kind of which one the King Charles Cavalier, Yeah,
the first one, not Finn Miles Miles, So yeah, yeah,
I don't know, did you meet Miles. He was no, no,
but I've heard I've heard tell of Miles, and Miles
had the energy of like a like nineteen fifties heroin addict.
He was just like always resting, always seemed a little
(20:34):
bit like melancholy, but it was really really a sweetheart.
It sounds like what's his face, the guy who's that
comedian Stephen some, Stephen right, Stephen right, yeah, Stephen right,
and Stephen right the dog. I don't know how many
people are going to get that reference without without the
good jokes though, right right, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Another end of the world news, the Texas Attorney General
is suing Johnson and Johnson over Tyle and All's uh
connection to autism.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yep, according to Human Sunburn, RFK was like, yeah, this
is this is why it's to blame. So he's suing
Johnson and Johnson, accusing the pharmaceutical company of failing to
warn consumers about the risk of taking Thailand all while pregnant.
And again I get I get that Ken Paxton is
probably using just that announcement from RFK to be like, man, no,
(21:26):
this is my grounds for a lawsuit, but like evidence
per chance that you have because RFK certainly didn't, at
least none that you would probably want to take to
a fucking like into litigation. So then my next question
is is this a shakedown? Do they want money from
Johnson and Johnson?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Because this isn't how this administration operates, right, Yeah, they
like just put out a bunch of lawsuits and then
the people settle because they But I feel like, to
Brian the editor's point, like, shouldn't it be the other
way around. Shouldn't john and to Johnson be suing the government? Yes,
And so I feel like they they will not be
(22:06):
settling this one because that would require them to admit
to some ship or you know what I mean, like propability.
So I'm sure they're gonna come after them guns blazing
Johnson and Johnson is not a company. I'm overly worried.
Is is going you never know, fucked over by.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
The company or they are they or are they just they?
I don't know who knows. But again, because if that
isn't the reason, like they're pursuing what even to me,
someone a total layman, thinks is like a losing case.
And I'm like, this is just to take up headlines
and distract from like the Epstein ballroom and the illegal
boat killings and the ice kid nappings and the government
(22:45):
shut down and Trump's health is back in the news.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It could.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Like what this is so bumb for more boots?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yes the fuck?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, they're just doing doing work for sport. Were crimes
for sport? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I do feel like Johnson and Johnson is going to
be if this is ever when this is ever over,
this administration slash, if this administration is ever over, like
they will be the you know whatever, the voting machine
company that oh dominion dominion. Yeah, like they'll they'll have
(23:23):
some wild settlements happening with the government at that point.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Oh yeah, RFK just has to give his body to
Johnson and Johnson part of the social.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Get a medical test on you.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Finally, Game three of the World Series happened last night
and this morning not to go not to go full
uh technically not at a get a sleepover party on you,
but up till the morning, up till twelve oh three, dipshit.
But okay, yeah, that game, that game ended last that
game last night, Oh.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
You mean that game this morning? Because I stayed up
until this morning. Did you did you watch it all
the way or did you hex well, no, okay, right,
I was watching it till the fourteenth inning and I
was just like, man, yeah, I was texting my father
in law who lives in d C while it was happening,
and I'm like, bro, you you're a older man. He's like,
(24:14):
did you stay in the little thing?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I stayed up for the whole thing. I mean, I
had people over. I had two of my friends over.
It's funny. They don't drink and I don't really have
Like I don't drink really like during the week or
most ever a lot of the time. But the amount
of I just have to say, as an aside, the
amount of sparkling waters these two tore through in my house.
Oh man, I feel like I got to charge them.
I'm like, that's my last spin drift.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I drink spin drifts like, uh like they look aholic
drift alcoholically and I didn't.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I wasn't trying to, Like, I mean, like, these are
my really close friends, and you know they're like one
just doesn't drink out of like preference, and another one
is sober, so like I don't. I you know, like
it's pretty open our conversation about it, but pardon me
was like, I was like, guys, man, you gotta like
I only have like three more sparks waters left, and
I have to, like, I have to get through tomorrow
to please drinking me dry. And then I got mad
(25:07):
at the end of a game. I was like, look
at this, three SIPs taken motherfucking empty.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
They were half coming soldiers. I have never I have
never done that with anything.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I know. I'm just saying, like, bibically alcohol, which is
why where I ran into a problem. But yeah, I
hop into that old mentality for a bit, like don't
drink up all my seltzers and then just piss up anyway.
So yeah, we were up.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Eighteen innings, five to five in the ninth and then
it was five to five in the eighteenth inning.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
It watch two games, I mean, weird game. It was
like sloppy.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
There were a bunch of like crazy plays, people getting
thrown out at home on multiple occasions, which overshadows the
fact that Shoho Tani had one of the best games
in the history of the world series. Uh two home runs,
two doubles, and they told you they just kept walking him.
They were just like, We're just gonna walk this motherfucker
from now on. And so he got on base nine times.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, I mean he was in the number of times,
Like the intentional walk isn't as common as it used
to be. Yeah, and like certainly for him to get
what he got on base nine times, like, no, nine times,
no one will ever come close to that record. A
because this game went eighteen innings. But also no one
is striking this kind of fear into pictures like show
(26:30):
hal tany, like even Barry Bonds never took more than
three in a postseason game.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
It sucks because he will not get another hit for
the rest of this World Series. Because he so for
the first part of the game. He became the first
player since nineteen oh six to record four extra base
hits in a World Series game. Again, two home runs,
two doubles, Like it was just like every time he
got up, you know, some shit.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Was about to go down.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, which doesn't does not happen in baseball, like it never,
that's not how baseball works. Like you go, you go,
you watch the best player in the league, and you're
like they're gonna strike out every like once every three times.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
This was like to your point too about seeing like
Jordan or so like there are these certain athletes. You're like,
I'm gonna I can. I think I can expect to
see something mind blow. I think that that can be
my expectation because at home, at home Showhy is a
completely different monster. His last eight at bats at Dodger
Stadium were home run, walk home run, home run, double
home run, double home run.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Yeah. Yeah. I was getting the kids out of bed
every time he got up. You know, we were just like,
what the fuck? And he delivered every time. Like normally
my kids are bored by sports, but this is the
rare thing where you can be like, no, it's about
to watch this guy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Anyways, the Dodgers ended up winning. Freddy Freeman, mister clutch,
mister walk walk.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Off, mister multiple walkoffs in the World Series. Yeah, I
didn't realize that the longest game ever was thirty three.
Part of me was like, this is what the fuck's
going on here, because.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
It was getting the possible that they're still playing baseball
right now and it is not nearly the longest, the
longest in the history of baseball. So it tied for
the most innings in a World Series game, but the
longest in the history of baseball. Went thirty three innings.
At the bottom of the thirty second inning, Pawtucket went
down in order, you know, one, two, three inning as
(28:27):
the sun began to rise, and the PA announcer was like,
this game has now been suspended the fuck out of here.
Oh shit, woman, a Tucket versus Rochester, who could forget.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Man triple a game for the fucking for the history books.
But yeah, I'm just so glad the game got so stressful,
to the point where as it went longer, the stakes
actually became higher. Yeah, because to go that deep into
a game, into that many extra innings to lose it
at that point is like such a psychological blow. Yeah,
(29:00):
to the point where, like we were talking before, I'm like,
I don't know if I want this game to just end,
and I don't care who wins, just so I can
fucking move on with my life right now.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
That's the deal I made with myself when I went
to I was just like, that's we'll whatever happens, fine, yeah, yeah,
and then I just kept waking up every hour and
checking the score. But yeah, I mean to waste to
show how TANI game like that would have been pretty
psychologically damaging for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
So offense was knock at it today.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yep, so we'll see fans all right.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Those are some of the.

Zitmare on trend Street. Oh courtesy of Snarfila. We're extra
spooky up in here today, aren't we this week?
Speaker 2 (00:11):

My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is mister Miles.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
You don't got to yell on the trends man, does
it bother you?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
I like to yell.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I don't know. I need to get my I need
to get my blood up. Okay, yeah, I get it.
That's It's really not for me, It's for you. And
in that way, I honor that. I think I have
to put my my sensitivity aside. I think because it's
one of the first things we record.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
I'm like, let's just just fucking chill out, dude. Why
don't we just be chill about this?
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Dude?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Yeah, all right, anyway, that's mine, you know, because yeah,
because then you're gonna be like, yeah, my name is
Jack O'Brian.

all right, yeah, why not? All right?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
This is the episode where we tell you what's trending.
It is Tuesday, October twenty eighth. News to me, that
seems I guess Halloween's coming up.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
What do we got going on in the news.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
We got another once in a century storm happening in
the past couple of years. Melissa is being described as
a Jamaica's storm of the century. We keep hearing that
designation used. I feel like, probably time to start acknowledging
(01:46):
that these aren't happening once every century.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I've been pushing for naming them after fossil fuel executives exactly,
And I just I want to put out a specific pitch.
I think this should be called Hurricane. Darren Woods, that's
the CEO of Exon, and he young man grew up
(02:13):
around military basis because his father was a military supplier,
and then he took over for Rex Hillerson and his
specialty is oil refining.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh great, but I think it's it's I think I've
actually found there is someone named Melissa who works at
Exxon Mobil. So I think we can just call it.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Find that person.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Melissa Bond, vice president of Subsurface and subc at Exon Mobil, Welcome.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Yeah, here you go, there you go. Just add the
last name on yeh. On October fifth, twenty twenty, Bloomberg
News reported that Exon was set to increase its annual
carbon emissions by about seventeen percent. By the way, Exon
the first company, maybe the first people to know about
climate change, like started doing testing in the eighties. They
(03:02):
were like ahead of it. They were like, oh, this
is true, is this real? I shut the fuck up
about it and then found out it was real and
promptly started spending money, not to reverse it, but to
convince people it wasn't real.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yeah, they put their thing down, flipped it, and reversed it.
That's what they did. This storm it's everyone. I mean
they're saying it's They're like, it's rivaling other storms that
were thought to be the most powerful, like starting in
the Atlantic, Yeah, one hundred and eighty five miles an
hour when they expect like structure failure, it's going to
be catastrophic, and it's just touchdown.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
So it's already bit blamed for at least seven deaths
Jesus So yeah. Darren Woods.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Darren Woods named one of the US's top climate villains
by the Guardian in twenty two after Exon lobbyists were
captured on video revealing the company's efforts to obstruct climate
legislation in Congress. Darren Woods Hurricane, Darren Woods.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Hurricane, Darren Woods. Let's talk.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Let's talk Halloween. Let's kick it off with a little
Halloween because fun sized candy getting even funner this year.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Smaller, yes, unfortunately, yes, there was smaller. We're gonna see
more shrinks flaps with sizes of candies. And also so
I expected them to shrink the size of candy. I
did not expect them to change the recipe. They're actually
scaling back the amount of chocolate that is in the
(04:37):
candy and adding sugar.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So drop weight, every add sugar. Let's see who we
got here. So some specialty chocolate makers are reducing the
cocoa content in their bars and increasing the sugar, like
selling a bar with sixty five percent cocoa content, so
seventy five percent. Hershey told its retail partners in May
that it would adjust its price pack archite. What the
(05:01):
fuck kind of price pack architecture.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Price Dude, we're we're fucking we're stepping on the cocoa
just so you know. We're cutting that shit with fucking
baby laxative now, so it's not gonna be as pure
as it used to be, and we're changing our price
back architecture. I like that there.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
So they're shrinking it, but they're adding sugar. They're like
maybe they're like, we don't want to reduce the harm
we're doing.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
We well, I think it's just a make up for
the lack of chocolate, So like, well, shit, it's got
to at least be sweet sweet brown is what they're
going to be calling it pretty soon, not even fucking chocolate.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Sweet brown bars. Yeah, I'm in favor of adding sugar
to everything because I a bit of a sugar freak.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, I'll do it to you.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
But apparently this has been going on for a while.
Last year, someone went viral for discovering a fun sized
bag of Eminem's that had a single eminem in it.
I mean, and it wasn't a big eminem it was
just you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, got a bad hand
to cards on that one. Sorry.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah. Look, look, sometimes you're gonna get the rare single
eminem bag. But yeah, it feels appropriate.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Our writer and rival because he's from Toronto. A JM
McNab was pointing out. He was asking a good question,
how did we let candy companies get away with branding
the idea of getting less candy fun? Yeah, and so
not not the most fun origin of course. So you
(06:28):
know back in the thirties when they started giving out candy,
so it used to be a fruit holiday and people
were like, no, we can't really monetize that. Yeah, you
just have a like sack of peeled bananas, the pre
field kid, just a free field, just fruit flies. You
gotta eat them now, you got it. They're about to
go off holiday for children and fruit flies.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
There's nothing worse than holding an unpeeled banana, Like I
have to do that constantly with my kid. I'm like, dude,
this is the just eat it in the peel. He's like,
I don't like getting the peel. Yeah, And I'm like, fine,
I'll hold it, just give me your leavings.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
It's started a great depression. They were like, not everybody
can afford these full things. So the candy bar makers
experimented with Junior. It was like their name for the
smaller which I remember that.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Yeah, yeah, from the depression.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Man, Yes, I remember that cooking up my scrapple and
then in the uh, well you know about scrapple, man,
that's a Philly delicacy, Philly delicacy heart just thick blowney,
just thick slices that I feel like they. I feel
like scrapple is essentially to Bologney what orange juice with
(07:43):
pulp is to like the pulp stranger. There's just like
chunks of shit in there that yeah, you don't know,
we don't know its origin, nor do we want to.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Look. It's organ meat and flower, dude, so it's like
a thick loaf. Dude, all nice. I want to have
some scrapple anyway, So.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
We're getting some scrapple, We're getting some haugies.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Hey, let me get a let me get a scrapple
legg and cheese. Are we close to having like bringing
this concept of like, well, because we are acknowledging the
you know, economic gulf between people in this country that
they're just going to be like fun sized milk, fun
sized bread Junior Thailand. I mean, there is there is
(08:29):
exactly but you get.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, I see, I see what you're getting at. Yeah,
I mean, why not. It's it's funny that coach like
or economy class like, they should just call it fun class.
It's the fun part of the airplane. They're going to
go back there. That's what they're going to rebrand, like steerage.
They're gonna put people in the belly of the planet,
like it's chili down there, just so you know, Yeah,
(08:51):
bring a coat. You can slow the aging process because
you actually freeze your body.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Yeah, I'm flying premium fun class. It's flight I mean
spas or doing man like cold cryo therapy. Just throw
them down and steer it. Yeah, but they know, yeah,
they're not that crowd ain't going for the cryo therapy.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Mars came up with the fun size thing and made
it a part of like a healthy eating trend in
the sixties and started marketing it as like a good
idea for school lunches, basically fucking a nibble above candy bar,
basically health food.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, I like that. I mean it's like, I mean,
it's like such it's such little processed sugar bullshit that
like fun size is basically like eating an Apple.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
I only smoke fund sized Marlboroughs aka Marlborough Lights. When
other companies tried to use the term fun size, Mars sued,
I mean they trademarked the word fun for candy bar use,
but yeah, it's it's also dieticians say that it can
be the worst size possible because you're not thinking of it.
(09:57):
You're not like, oh, I just had a candy bar
thinking of it as like dude, I just had, of
course a bite of the can.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Don't you have that same sort of fucked up, tortured
logic when you eat these? I ate bro So we
were in this new neighborhood there might be trick or
treaters this year. So her magicy like bought a fucking
you know, like a bag of like mixed twigs and Snickers.
But it's like green inside, like fun shit. The way
I is that part of the shrink. This is definitely
(10:29):
unperfis not an oversight because the FDA is slipping. No,
this was like just it's intentionally green. But the the
way I was like, well, I feel like three fun
sized Snickers and four fun sized twigs equals half a
Snickers and half a Twix Sot's and then like I
(10:49):
look at the pile of wrappers next to my like
on my desk, and I'm like, this is humiliating, just
the volume, because but it is fun. It is fun.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Yeah, I'm basically pre diabetic for the whole month of
November because my kids like, they like fruit, like they were,
we kind of raise them on fruit. They don't get
a lot of candy, and they somehow like forget about
their candy stash.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh yeah, I feel like you say this every and
I do not.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I certainly do not forget. They're putting you at risk exactly. Yeah,
think about your old man kids, you know what I mean.
Any any candy bars you're particularly looking forward to consuming.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Bro I love I love mister goodbar Good. It's my
one weird stoopid like the one everyone eats. I would
like inherit those. I love the special dark chocolate ones.
But the way I eat that, I let it melt. Damn.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
You're like, I don't.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Want that shit, baby, I put that out. It's like
packing a lip, but bottom let just lip is packed
with dark chocolate, dark chocolate. Man into my bottom lip,
twigs kick cat fucking I mean everything, I just don't
want for me. I'm like one of those kids. I
don't want hard candy. I just want chocolate. Yeah, yeah,
any if it's got chocolate, we're good.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Yeah, my kids are when we're into the non chocolate candy.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
So again I'm oh, my god, like what like fucking mamba?
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I mean they like mamba. They like the Nerds Clusters,
which they have to, I have to admit. So we
we had so many trigger teers have to buy at
least two thousand pieces of candy every year, and this
year I had the two thousand and the shopping cart
and then I saw the Nerds Clusters. It was like,
I gotta do it to them, got to do it,
(12:30):
do it for them?
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, the children meanwhile, cut to you eating them all
in the dark exactly.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
And also the ship. The also the cost right now crazy.
I didn't mention that, but that bag.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Was like fucking like twelve bucks. Yes, yeah, a little
bit of fun and twigs.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Fortunately I am a bit of a vip at Ralphs
in that I'm a Rouse member and so okay, I
got some nice discount.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
I get the savings too, but still like it used
to buying Halloween, can it usould be like an afterthought,
were like, yeah, we used to still that in the car.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, I still spent entirely too much money. But they
show you like as the money is being discounted, and
that gets me everything. And like these poor fucking they
do suckers.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
They go like this, they go, Okay, here's your total.
Actually let me and now with your club savings, I say,
got them making money here?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Yeah right, uh, let's take a quick break. We'll be
right back, and we're back. Some other news stories. The
anti vax movement is spreading its wings and coming for
(13:52):
pet owners as well. And this makes sense, yeah, coming
for all of our asses as a result, because the
things that pets get vaccinated for include rabies and other
diseases that can spread to humans. And there's seen a
human with rabies before. Have you seen like those old
(14:13):
like like test videos of like a person who's had rabies.
I've seen twenty eight days later and that is plenty
that works.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Okay, yeah, same thing. Oh yeah, I wants split hairs here.
It's it's it's not normally yeah, bro, that's I feel
like all I had to see was like an old
grainy like you know, silent film of a person with
rabies from like the forties that I was like, yeah, fuck,
it looks uncomfortable. Yeah, I like drinking a glass of water. Yeah,
(14:42):
you know, they're the fear of water.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
That's like one of the most fucked up things about
it is just like that idea that you like suddenly
are afraid of water.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah real, yeah, yeah, Oh it's from nineteen twenty nine.
I think it's like a famous one Cook County hospital.
God Jesus, and it's like you don't survive once. Once
it gets to that stage, you're done. But yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
The New York Times interviewed a bunch of veterinarians who
are like, yeah, you thought you thought it was only
like pediatricians dealing with this shit, Like, you know, this
used to be the boring part. You get a new
puppier kitt and bring it in. They get their shots
and they're allowed to be like out in the world
after that. Otherwise they're at great risk. But that was
(15:25):
obviously before the pandemic pulled the wool from all of
our eyes and showed us that vaccines are just a
plan to take over the world by vaccinating pets.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
That's how they're gonna get the microchip in my dog,
not the act, the literal microchip I put in them.
That's fine. The other one they.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Are doing it. They do suggest that you microchip your dogs,
so I can see how they're getting paranoid. It does
suck because this is this coincides with private equities takeover
of veterinary medicine. So people are getting screwed and like
having the health of their pets like held hostage by
(16:09):
companies trying to take money from them.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
You know, I bet the next pandemic is gonna come
from a fucking dog park in Santa Monica, right, you
know what I mean? Those are the people in LA
who are like so woo woo, fucking dumb fuck you know,
like vaccines, and then they're like, and my dogs, so
when they get fucking parvo from like sniffing the dog
(16:35):
shit at the dog park or some other preventable disease.
It's this is the thing that really blows my mind
is like so many of these people who are anti science,
they think that all of the stability that they are
experiencing right now is because it's just it's just ambient.
It's like a law of the universe. It's not, because
(16:56):
this is all being held up by a scaffolding of
modern medicine and science. Right, so it's like, oh, yeah,
my dog doesn't need a VACU. I mean, who even
knows about sick dogs anyway, because people's fucking dogs are vaccinating,
okay exactly, So you don't get to be like it's
like being on a plane. It's like, well, we don't
need the wheels to fly flying right now, it's like,
well you need them to land. Fuck face, what do
(17:18):
you can do?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Just crash the plane In the same way with all this,
like this insistence that all of the stability you have
is just a given. It's not because this is we're
actively engaging with the best medical practices, but we've made
it invisible because we just like don't.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Read to it. It's so stupid about it.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
And then they're like actively taking it apart. And there
are people who are actively doing that and we're not
allowed to. You know, nobody talks about their names because
they're like private equity companies that are basically hidden behind
very boring legal protections. But there is the front from
the article. It is out there, the concept of pautism.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Fuck off, what what do you mean, what does that mean?
Speaker 1 (18:01):
People are like, my cat got vaccinated and it got
stop making different kinds of trains. The concept has no
scientific basis. The idea that vaccines cause autism and people
has been repeatedly debunked, and autism is a diagnosis that
does not exist in other species. But don't let that
stop you.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I mean again, this also makes sense too, because right
the first thing that you feel like you're in control
of and can completely put at risk because you have
some weird god complex is your children. And then if
the next level of that is your pets, because they're
they're like, well, these are the things that are I
have to take care of, and I'm just going to
determine you don't need a fucking whatever kennel cough vaccine
(18:43):
or parvo or all the other things that you need.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Yeah, I think you might be onto something with the
Santa Monica thing from the article, Several vaccine preventable illnesses,
including leis birosis, leptospurosis, and rabies can spread from pets
to people, and he points out dogs are sharing our
heads with us now, they're kissing our children's faces. That's
especially in Santa.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
In some houses. I mean it's a cultural thing. But yeah,
that's uh, like I said, it's gonna happen. It's gonna
happen in a dog park in Santa Monica. It's gonna
be the fucking wet market in Wuhan, Okay is the
new fuck is the Santa Monica dog park with all
these people who are just gonna be completely the heads
in the clouds because it's like yippie the crystals, Yeah,
(19:29):
might be.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Crystal.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Oh how it has a yoniag in right now?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
What?
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fine. The dog's fine.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It's really helped with its a made up diagnosis autism.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Like that's so fucking that's so dial that's where we're at.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Yeah, also like imagining, like because I'm pretty sure like
my dog would would have been diagnosed. Uh, it had
some interesting tendencies, you know, like you can you could
convince yourself of anything with dogs, oh, just reflecting off
of your behavior, you know, like yeah, gee, I think
(20:10):
my dog had depression for sure, but it didn't.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Just kind of which one the King Charles Cavalier, Yeah,
the first one, not Finn Miles Miles, So yeah, yeah,
I don't know, did you meet Miles. He was no, no,
but I've heard I've heard tell of Miles, and Miles
had the energy of like a like nineteen fifties heroin addict.
He was just like always resting, always seemed a little
(20:34):
bit like melancholy, but it was really really a sweetheart.
It sounds like what's his face, the guy who's that
comedian Stephen some, Stephen right, Stephen right, yeah, Stephen right,
and Stephen right the dog. I don't know how many
people are going to get that reference without without the
good jokes though, right right, all right.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Another end of the world news, the Texas Attorney General
is suing Johnson and Johnson over Tyle and All's uh
connection to autism.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yep, according to Human Sunburn, RFK was like, yeah, this
is this is why it's to blame. So he's suing
Johnson and Johnson, accusing the pharmaceutical company of failing to
warn consumers about the risk of taking Thailand all while pregnant.
And again I get I get that Ken Paxton is
probably using just that announcement from RFK to be like, man, no,
(21:26):
this is my grounds for a lawsuit, but like evidence
per chance that you have because RFK certainly didn't, at
least none that you would probably want to take to
a fucking like into litigation. So then my next question
is is this a shakedown? Do they want money from
Johnson and Johnson?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Because this isn't how this administration operates, right, Yeah, they
like just put out a bunch of lawsuits and then
the people settle because they But I feel like, to
Brian the editor's point, like, shouldn't it be the other
way around. Shouldn't john and to Johnson be suing the government? Yes,
And so I feel like they they will not be
(22:06):
settling this one because that would require them to admit
to some ship or you know what I mean, like propability.
So I'm sure they're gonna come after them guns blazing
Johnson and Johnson is not a company. I'm overly worried.
Is is going you never know, fucked over by.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
The company or they are they or are they just they?
I don't know who knows. But again, because if that
isn't the reason, like they're pursuing what even to me,
someone a total layman, thinks is like a losing case.
And I'm like, this is just to take up headlines
and distract from like the Epstein ballroom and the illegal
boat killings and the ice kid nappings and the government
(22:45):
shut down and Trump's health is back in the news.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
It could.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Like what this is so bumb for more boots?
Speaker 1 (22:53):
Yes the fuck?
Speaker 2 (22:57):
Yeah, they're just doing doing work for sport. Were crimes
for sport? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I do feel like Johnson and Johnson is going to
be if this is ever when this is ever over,
this administration slash, if this administration is ever over, like
they will be the you know whatever, the voting machine
company that oh dominion dominion. Yeah, like they'll they'll have
(23:23):
some wild settlements happening with the government at that point.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Oh yeah, RFK just has to give his body to
Johnson and Johnson part of the social.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Get a medical test on you.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Finally, Game three of the World Series happened last night
and this morning not to go not to go full
uh technically not at a get a sleepover party on you,
but up till the morning, up till twelve oh three, dipshit.
But okay, yeah, that game, that game ended last that
game last night, Oh.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
You mean that game this morning? Because I stayed up
until this morning. Did you did you watch it all
the way or did you hex well, no, okay, right,
I was watching it till the fourteenth inning and I
was just like, man, yeah, I was texting my father
in law who lives in d C while it was happening,
and I'm like, bro, you you're a older man. He's like,
(24:14):
did you stay in the little thing?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I stayed up for the whole thing. I mean, I
had people over. I had two of my friends over.
It's funny. They don't drink and I don't really have
Like I don't drink really like during the week or
most ever a lot of the time. But the amount
of I just have to say, as an aside, the
amount of sparkling waters these two tore through in my house.
Oh man, I feel like I got to charge them.
I'm like, that's my last spin drift.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
I drink spin drifts like, uh like they look aholic
drift alcoholically and I didn't.
Speaker 2 (24:44):
I wasn't trying to, Like, I mean, like, these are
my really close friends, and you know they're like one
just doesn't drink out of like preference, and another one
is sober, so like I don't. I you know, like
it's pretty open our conversation about it, but pardon me
was like, I was like, guys, man, you gotta like
I only have like three more sparks waters left, and
I have to, like, I have to get through tomorrow
to please drinking me dry. And then I got mad
(25:07):
at the end of a game. I was like, look
at this, three SIPs taken motherfucking empty.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
They were half coming soldiers. I have never I have
never done that with anything.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
I know. I'm just saying, like, bibically alcohol, which is
why where I ran into a problem. But yeah, I
hop into that old mentality for a bit, like don't
drink up all my seltzers and then just piss up anyway.
So yeah, we were up.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Eighteen innings, five to five in the ninth and then
it was five to five in the eighteenth inning.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
It watch two games, I mean, weird game. It was
like sloppy.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
There were a bunch of like crazy plays, people getting
thrown out at home on multiple occasions, which overshadows the
fact that Shoho Tani had one of the best games
in the history of the world series. Uh two home runs,
two doubles, and they told you they just kept walking him.
They were just like, We're just gonna walk this motherfucker
from now on. And so he got on base nine times.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Yeah, I mean he was in the number of times,
Like the intentional walk isn't as common as it used
to be. Yeah, and like certainly for him to get
what he got on base nine times, like, no, nine times,
no one will ever come close to that record. A
because this game went eighteen innings. But also no one
is striking this kind of fear into pictures like show
(26:30):
hal tany, like even Barry Bonds never took more than
three in a postseason game.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
It sucks because he will not get another hit for
the rest of this World Series. Because he so for
the first part of the game. He became the first
player since nineteen oh six to record four extra base
hits in a World Series game. Again, two home runs,
two doubles, Like it was just like every time he
got up, you know, some shit.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
Was about to go down.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yeah, which doesn't does not happen in baseball, like it never,
that's not how baseball works. Like you go, you go,
you watch the best player in the league, and you're
like they're gonna strike out every like once every three times.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
This was like to your point too about seeing like
Jordan or so like there are these certain athletes. You're like,
I'm gonna I can. I think I can expect to
see something mind blow. I think that that can be
my expectation because at home, at home Showhy is a
completely different monster. His last eight at bats at Dodger
Stadium were home run, walk home run, home run, double
home run, double home run.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Yeah. Yeah. I was getting the kids out of bed
every time he got up. You know, we were just like,
what the fuck? And he delivered every time. Like normally
my kids are bored by sports, but this is the
rare thing where you can be like, no, it's about
to watch this guy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Anyways, the Dodgers ended up winning. Freddy Freeman, mister clutch,
mister walk walk.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Off, mister multiple walkoffs in the World Series. Yeah, I
didn't realize that the longest game ever was thirty three.
Part of me was like, this is what the fuck's
going on here, because.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
It was getting the possible that they're still playing baseball
right now and it is not nearly the longest, the
longest in the history of baseball. So it tied for
the most innings in a World Series game, but the
longest in the history of baseball. Went thirty three innings.
At the bottom of the thirty second inning, Pawtucket went
down in order, you know, one, two, three inning as
(28:27):
the sun began to rise, and the PA announcer was like,
this game has now been suspended the fuck out of here.
Oh shit, woman, a Tucket versus Rochester, who could forget.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Man triple a game for the fucking for the history books.
But yeah, I'm just so glad the game got so stressful,
to the point where as it went longer, the stakes
actually became higher. Yeah, because to go that deep into
a game, into that many extra innings to lose it
at that point is like such a psychological blow. Yeah,
(29:00):
to the point where, like we were talking before, I'm like,
I don't know if I want this game to just end,
and I don't care who wins, just so I can
fucking move on with my life right now.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
That's the deal I made with myself when I went
to I was just like, that's we'll whatever happens, fine, yeah, yeah,
and then I just kept waking up every hour and
checking the score. But yeah, I mean to waste to
show how TANI game like that would have been pretty
psychologically damaging for the Dodgers.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
So offense was knock at it today.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Yep, so we'll see fans all right.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Those are some of the.
