Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Achilles trending.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We can't have.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Nice things none, Oh we can bummer.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
That was that was the worst.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
That was actually the worst Game seven of my life
because it had the potential to be something so different.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
It was to be so different and so fun. And
then for people who don't know what we're talking about.
First of all, for people who are like, what are
these voices coming into my ears?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
My name is Jack?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
That over there's Miles.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
This is the episode of the dailies like I S
where you tell you what's trending, and we are talking
about the NBA Finals a day and a half after
they happened, because that's what's trending in my heart. On
my heart, I'll tell you what's trending, Achilles trending. Yeah,
where accles trend did? Did you ever see that college
Wheel of Fortune where No, the kid from Indiana University
(00:56):
has all the letters and he's like mythological hero a killus.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
No, No.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Really, Uh, you're really risking a lot as a university
when you send somebody to Wheel of Fortune.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
You're not your own jeopard anyways.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Shout out to Trees Haliburton and uh, the Indiana Pacers
and also okay, see for when in the title having
a great season. I don't want to take anything away
from that. It was just a bummer because no, dude.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
They seem even seemed fucking bummed out like that was
so muted. I was looking at those celebrations and it
was like a combo of like, I mean, like I
think we were so we had to win it, right
based on it they muted tones like a Target Pride sweatshirt.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yence to a story from like two weeks ago that
we'll probably don't remember anyways. What else is happening in
the world, miles Monday, What a weird one we had yesterday.
So right as we stopped recording on Monday, Trump suddenly
announces that there was a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
You're like, oh huh, and you know the markets love that.
(02:08):
But it said, quote, congratulations to everyone. It has been
fully agreed by and between underneath and beneath by and
forever more, between Israel and Iran that there will be
a complete and total ceasefire in approximately six hours from now.
Which hold onto that detail because it's in that six
hours from now that Israel decides to just fucking unload
(02:30):
on Iran when Ise and Iran have wound down and
completely completed their in progress final missions for twelve hours,
at which point the war will be considered ended.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
And then he went on to be like some we'll
call this the twelve day war because it was twelve
days and then it ended and no more war, only
peace and anyway, he said, there's more like he had
this whole clearly.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Really poet in many ways, truly.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
He goes on with this like fantasy world building that
we get an idea of where he thinks everything's going
to go. Quote Israel and Iran came to me almost
simultaneously and said.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Tears in their eyes, on their knees, saying.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
So dusty, I need a glass of water. It's a
quote I knew the time was now. The world and
the Middle East are the real winners. Both nations will
see tremendous love, peace, and prosperity in their futures. They
have so much to gain and yet so much to
lose if they stray from the road of righteousness and truth.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
What what the fuck is happening? Miles? Yeah, what is
he talking?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
The future for Israel and Iran is unlimited and filled
with great promise. God bless you both all gaps. So
you're such a kind god, mister Donald.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It's giving like parent at the end of their rope,
who's like go like oscillating back and forth between like
what the fuck?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah yeah, and then just like being like you know what, actually,
like you guys are great.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I like like trying to use like positive reinforcement, but
like they're so unhinged as they're doing it that everyone's like, yo,
like is dad okay.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yes, it's happening. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's It's just like
it's the same way. I'm like, just go to bed.
It's time to go to bed.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Okay, let's close eyes.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
We've got to go to sleep.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
And then I said, then like and the little boy,
he closed his eyes and he's so wonderful and we're sleeping.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Now you try fucking everybody, it was daddy's one twitching.
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
So anyway for starters, Okay, even though they said they
both came to me simultaneously, what in a fucking dream?
Because when the you know, the Ironian official was asked
about this, they were like, huh, yeah, what are you
talking about and they're like, oh, the people from Cutter
are gonna get on the phone with you and work
something out. But then because their whole thing was like, Okay, well,
(04:51):
if they stop fucking bombing us for no fucking reason,
we can be open to ceasing military operations out you're saying,
But like, no one's even at fucking asked.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
So looked like there was something gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Then suddenly Israel said that Iran broke the ceasefire. Around's like, no,
we fucking didn't. I would in this instance. Israel is
not a reliable narrator when it comes to the reasons
for which they attack innocent people.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
So yeah, I'm not sure what happened there.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
But then Trump got really upset, and so far there
hasn't been much back and forth, although I who knows
how long that's going to take because no one. I
don't know who's in control of anything anymore at this point.
Even God, if you exist up there, he's.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Like, what the y'all? Yeah, damn the fuck? He lovebody?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
He didn't just like spike the football before he got
to the end zone. It was like first and ten
from the twenty.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Yeah, like you know, after a touchback, he's spenty football
and he just touched back.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
They handed it back to him and he spiked it. Yeah,
right away.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I just like though, I just like the idea of
him doing the touchback in the end zone, thinking that's
the touchdown, and then spiking the football.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
He's like, yes, I got it in the end zone. Done.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
It's like, no, you're just you're just going to the
twenty yard line. But that's okay. I mean, I'm sure
everyone also hears about the f bomb heard around the
world from Trump when he said they don't know what
the fuck they're doing.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, NPR went deep and was like we asked presidential historians,
like what what's the precedent for this, and like honestly
reported on it, like, well, there is word that behind
closed doors. JFK actually used foul language quite a bit.
It's like, that's not the question.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I don't think anybody's surprised. Like we have we have
the tapes from LBJ talking about his bunghole, how big
his dick is, like from I guess not everybody listens
to those as he talks about yeah and well, yeah,
he does talk about his sack He was very fond
(07:00):
of talking about Jumbo his dick, which like that's I
don't know. There's so many wild stories from like what
how presidents behaved inside the White House that for them
to be like we've in private, presidents Harding, Grant, Truman, Johnson,
and especially Nixon, we're known to curse and one time
(07:20):
even President Jimmy Carter dropped the F bomb. Oh god,
he only cursed once while he was the President of
the United States behind closed doors, Like what a door
door like that?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
That is shocking.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
But to be reporting that, like, look, we've all done it,
We've all these guys have done it is pretty wild.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
The only one we're talking about dropping any kind of
a f buyas to Harry Truman dropping the A bomb,
that's right, that's the only one that fucking is relevant
because you know, they're all talking crazy shit. This I
think this the LBJ one people should or just go
on YouTube and starts LBJ Taylor and you'll hear this
guy earnestly.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Talking about how he needs these pants done right, or.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
He calls so he's like, you know, has the most
important job in the world at that time, a very
you know, busy guy and he calls the tailor and
it's clear he's just trying to brag about how big
his dick is to the to like a random tailor.
He's just like, yeah, because like you cut him like
too tight sometimes, and you know comes out from my
(08:23):
a little bit for my giant ding ding dong.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
He just made up on his own months ago.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
It's a kind of a light brown and a light
green rather salt.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Talking about pants that the guy made for him before.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
I need about six pairs for some.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Areware mm hmm, summerware.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Around in the evening when I come in from work
and I can send you a pair. I want him
a half inch larger in the waist.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Than the where before here we go.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Two or three inches of stuff left back in there,
so I can take him up very ten fifteen.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
Pounds all right, Hell yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Leave me at least two and a half pre inch
in the backgrock let him out, or take them up.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
And make a half inch bigger in the waist, make
the pockets at least an inch longer. Money, my money
and my.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Knife, everything carrying them.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
On.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Just a second money and my knife. Keep that's how
you president. It's also just like the leisurely way. He's
just it's like he's got time to kill. Like the
tailor is probably like, could I get this guy off
the fucking phone. Yeah, But anyways, he eventually talks about
how about his bunghole.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
It's it's too long of a clip to play right now,
rids up.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
In my bung hole. That's that's the energy we're bringing,
Miles is extra sleep to prave today everybody, and we're.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Just I just don't with us the tips they work
and they don't work. It's like always it's mostly like
one step forward, point nine nine steps back. So it's
not total regression, but it still feels like torture because
I thought we fucking over this. You say to a
(10:11):
two year old, I know, all right, I need a
new pair of slacks. Then if you're awake sun now,
we're gonna need an extra inch in the pockets because
my ny and my knife, my knife, dude, I love it.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Mamdani.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Oh, my friend looking strong heading into So the Democratic
Primary is happening today as we speak. As we speak,
if you're in New York City and.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
You're on the day, in line.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
In line, go out vote for Zorin. Don't rank Cuomo, Momo, No, No.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
The headlines are that they're like, what is happening?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
God, it's wild, Like how openly hostile and like freaked
out the mainstream media is.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I mean, it isn't right because I think some of us,
now we've seen this play many times over the last
nine years, where you're like, yeah, this is what they
do when people are like, yeah, the things that Democrats
are doing could be done way better.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Actually shut the fuck up about this. Yeah, Yeah, we're
fine with the status quo.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
We're fine with the Yeah, the Atlantic is obviously, I mean,
because he's pro Palestinian, they're just going fucking windmilling on
him constantly. All the coverage from the Atlantic other just
super mainstream outlets that help the DNC, you know, grant
their wishes or just like I.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Don't know about this guy.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, I will say that I feel pretty good about Zorn,
Like in the primary, I do feel like there's a
real possibility that he does well in the primary, and
then like Cuomo has said, he's going to run as
an independent in the general and like it, Like, like
you said, we've seen this before. It's just reminding me
(11:53):
of like Bernie doing well in the Nevada primary, and
then the whole of the Democratic apparatus and the mainstream
media just joining together and being like fuck no, and
if was gonna run in the general, uh, that that
could be bad. There's also like a you know, bizarre
(12:13):
right wing Republican candidate who will we'll we'll talk about later.
But Curtis Curtis blow Yeah, Curtis Leewa.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
I mean he's yeah, I mean he's he's taking another
bite of the big apple trying to run for Americaan.
What a fucking carnival of freaks that are running. Yeah,
like this ship and New York. I know there's you,
I know, you have half a brain to fucking pick
the person who will actually give you something different that
you can believe in. But I'm also just worried about how,
(12:45):
you know, the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Ever, they've already shown this this year.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Every time someone starts talking some ship like we could
be doing better with the people that are fucking running
things or fucking stale, they will try and stomp your
whole ship out.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
So yeah, I think I think it's only a matter
of time until we see the media completely fucking take
aim at him. But hey, right now, it seems like
he's got at least some of the people got momentum. Momentum.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I believe my great friends are Danny jef Venie.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Let's take a quick break, we'll come back, and we're back.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
We're back.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And phrase alligator Alcatraz is trending. It's fucking it's like
so much darker than it suggests.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Yeah, you're like, oh, they're gonna put alligators in the bay.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Is that why the upgrades in jail for cartoon alligators? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Exactly, not quite So what is going on in this country?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Just generally?
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Right?
Speaker 4 (13:58):
The Supreme Court just ruled that Trump can now deport
people to a country that is not no one warm there,
up from like sending a guatemal In person to South Sudan.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
So we're now just.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Like, that's a yp Oh you're not from here. That
doesn't that's not my concern. Man.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
You can go to this concentration camp in another in
a third country.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, is that? How does that work?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
How does that work for you?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
So, you know, and while most of the attention is
on you know, Israel's attacks on Iran rather than even
like the seventy people that were killed in Gaza yesterday,
who are in line for food. We still have the
ice goons running around the.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Activity being in line for food.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Yeah, of course, of course, who knows, who knows what
they're trying to do with that food or waiting for food,
or being on the brink of famine. In many cases
are in the midst of famine. We still have the
ice goons running around unmasked, trying to snatch people up.
And Christinome is really fucking ramping up the fucking rhetoric
now with announcing this new prison for innocent people to
(14:58):
be tossed into.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
She said.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Under President Trump's leadership, we are working at turbo speed
to deliver cost effective and innovative ways to deliver on
the American people's mandate for mass deportations of criminally illegal aliens.
Even though all of the people that we're rounding up
are fucking regular, day to day people who are going
about their lives law biting in peace citizens.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But again, you don't they might have.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Accidentally caught in some criminal illegal aliens well as you
don't know, Yeah, it might have been purely accidentally.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
We're batten point one in terms of when we do
a sweep and we actually catch someone who's a.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Criminal illegal alien and criminal illegal aliens rhetoric there, Jesus,
we'll expand facilities in bedspace in just days thanks to
our partnership with Florida.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
These new facilities will in large part be funded by
FEMA's Shelter and Services program.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Jesus.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Correct which, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Not gonna read her spin on that.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
It's like the Biden admit to fuck that you're talking
about money that's used to help people in are in
distress after a disaster, someone who has been in distress
after his disaster. You absolutely need things like FEMA running
to help people who are fully displaced, who have no
options for places to go, rather than being like, here,
let's build our fucked up alligator Alcatraz. This is the
(16:18):
Attorney General of Florida, James Uthmeyer, who's doing There's like
this whole pitch video for it, and it sounds like
a fucking like he's opening up a like a fan
boat dealership or some shit.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Attorney General James Upmeyer here at the Miami Days Collier
Training Facility. This is an old, virtually abandon airport facility
right in the middle of the Everglades. Florida has been
leading on immigration enforcements, supporting the Trump administration and HES's
efforts to detain and deport criminals.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
So anyway, he goes on that there's like this old
runway in the Everglades. He's like, well, now we can
put a thousand people there, okay, And he's like, and
don't worry about security because they'll be eaten by alligators
or pythons. This is the other part where he goes
about like, this is why it's so cool.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
Temporary detention facility because you don't need to invest that
much in the perimeter.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
People get out.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
There's not much waiting for him other than alligators and pythons.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, no slow motion video of an alligator.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
Days after we begin construction, it could be up and
running and could house as many as a thousand criminal aliens.
This presents a great opportunity for the State of Florida
to work with Miami Dade and Collier Counties.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Alligator Alcatraz, We're ready to go. What the Oh, that's
not even unofficial.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
They called it alligator out.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
From the office of the fucking Attorney General of Florida.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Delligator Gay come in to fai waiting.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Fucking royalty free shitty fuck.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Off man, like so fucking dumb.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
But again, this is all the point, because this is
all fucking cruelty NonStop.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, they're doing like launch videos for their concentration camps.
Yeah yeah, like viral fun videos like we get we
gave this concentration camp a fun little nickname.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Yeah, you know, like they could have they could have
renamed Auschwitzer, like you know if any soby boor or
you know, bergen Belsen. All they could have called them
other fun names, like something alliterative. You know, bergen Belsen
was alliterative, a very alliterative, so I'll give him that.
But Alligator Alcatraz, Come on, it.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Sounds like.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
So you're just an innocent man escaping the law and
now you find yourself in Alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah yeah, yeah, fun.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
All right, that's that's where we're at, right now, That's
where we're at.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah, Pixar just had its worst opening ever. I do
just wanna there were a bunch of headlines up front.
So the movie is called Ilio. Did a Person of Color?
Does a person of Color?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Stand? To make a lot of money from this film.
Is that why they're going this.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Thing's a flop fucking stinker?
Speaker 3 (19:10):
They could be.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I actually don't know. The directors were out. It is
the director of Coco, and I think it's like kind
of autobiographical. But opened at twenty one million dollars in
North America fourteen million internationally, which people are pointing out
as the worst box office opening ever. But Disney is
pointing out and I do think this is worth pointing it.
(19:33):
Like Elemental came out in twenty twenty three, a film
that I would say not not a great movie because
it did have did have legs at.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
The box office.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
People didn't just all rush out to see it on
the opening day. And in fact, when it comes to
this latest Pixar movie, I like didn't really even know
it existed. Like I think I had seen the trailer
at one point, I didn't know it was coming out.
They're advertising it with the idea that like, yeah, we'll
just like leave it in theater for a little while,
and people once they're done seeing how to Train Your
(20:03):
Dragon or whatever, they'll they'll come over to our Pixar movie. Yeah,
Like Elemental ended up being a big hit, like massive
in South Korea and.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I think Japan.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Oh, okay, so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
There's a weird, weird movie where it's like cloud Man
falls in love with fire woman.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
I remember the flame person and I was like, okay,
I'm old now, so I hope the youth enjoy this.
But this one, I don't even fucking remember this thing.
Like maybe I recall seeing the poster last time I
went to the movies.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
But what is with their marketing recently? Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I mean they went big on Inside Out too. I
feel like they're just hoping that this one like kind
of people accidentally find out about it and end up
going to it. But it was it was definitely like
a troubled production. So it was the it's like an
autobiographical movie made by the person who made Coke, which
was like a massive hit for them. Yeah, and then
(21:03):
halfway through they were like, you're no longer directing it,
we're rewriting it. They killed off the main character's mother
was supposed to be voiced by America Ferrara, and they
replaced the director and like moved him over to Coco
two and then brought in the director of Turning Red
and another like in house Pixar director to direct it.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
So, but you just said the movies a like autobiographic corse. Yeah,
this guy's but yeah, man, we figured out some other
people to really tell this intimate story about your life.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah, it's like about a kid who lives on a
military base and like dreams of being abducted by aliens,
and then he is abducted by aliens and wow, great
fun ensues. It seems like it's like not is it's
like getting it's in the sixties on metacritics. So it
seems you know, I feel like Pixar movies one of
the things that people rely on is like that they're
(21:57):
going to be good for both parents and kid. That's
like one of the the parts of their secret formula.
And when when it doesn't deliver on that, like, those
are the ones that just like don't do well, Like
The Elemental didn't have great reviews. I think The Good
Dinosaur didn't have like great reviews. And those are the
ones that like don't perform that well.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Oh I feel like I forgot I've got a good Dinosaur.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Gotta make it good.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yeah, Brian the editor points out, in some ways this
is this all goes back.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
To Rachel Zigler.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, her stance on Palestine.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
We'll figure out a way.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
We haven't quite figured it out, but well.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Actually it's Rachel Zegler and Ryan Coogler.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, yeah, it's the GluRs, you know, yeah, the GluRs
you know.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
What I mean, Ry Raiku and Rach zag That's right,
all right, those are some of the things that are
trending on this Tuesday, June twenty fourth.

Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Achilles trending.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
We can't have.
Speaker 3 (00:07):
Nice things none, Oh we can bummer.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
That was that was the worst.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
That was actually the worst Game seven of my life
because it had the potential to be something so different.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
It was to be so different and so fun. And
then for people who don't know what we're talking about.
First of all, for people who are like, what are
these voices coming into my ears?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
My name is Jack?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
That over there's Miles.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
This is the episode of the dailies like I S
where you tell you what's trending, and we are talking
about the NBA Finals a day and a half after
they happened, because that's what's trending in my heart. On
my heart, I'll tell you what's trending, Achilles trending. Yeah,
where accles trend did? Did you ever see that college
Wheel of Fortune where No, the kid from Indiana University
(00:56):
has all the letters and he's like mythological hero a killus.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
No, No.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Really, Uh, you're really risking a lot as a university
when you send somebody to Wheel of Fortune.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
You're not your own jeopard anyways.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Shout out to Trees Haliburton and uh, the Indiana Pacers
and also okay, see for when in the title having
a great season. I don't want to take anything away
from that. It was just a bummer because no, dude.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
They seem even seemed fucking bummed out like that was
so muted. I was looking at those celebrations and it
was like a combo of like, I mean, like I
think we were so we had to win it, right
based on it they muted tones like a Target Pride sweatshirt.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yence to a story from like two weeks ago that
we'll probably don't remember anyways. What else is happening in
the world, miles Monday, What a weird one we had yesterday.
So right as we stopped recording on Monday, Trump suddenly
announces that there was a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
You're like, oh huh, and you know the markets love that.
(02:08):
But it said, quote, congratulations to everyone. It has been
fully agreed by and between underneath and beneath by and
forever more, between Israel and Iran that there will be
a complete and total ceasefire in approximately six hours from now.
Which hold onto that detail because it's in that six
hours from now that Israel decides to just fucking unload
(02:30):
on Iran when Ise and Iran have wound down and
completely completed their in progress final missions for twelve hours,
at which point the war will be considered ended.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
And then he went on to be like some we'll
call this the twelve day war because it was twelve
days and then it ended and no more war, only
peace and anyway, he said, there's more like he had
this whole clearly.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Really poet in many ways, truly.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
He goes on with this like fantasy world building that
we get an idea of where he thinks everything's going
to go. Quote Israel and Iran came to me almost
simultaneously and said.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Tears in their eyes, on their knees, saying.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
So dusty, I need a glass of water. It's a
quote I knew the time was now. The world and
the Middle East are the real winners. Both nations will
see tremendous love, peace, and prosperity in their futures. They
have so much to gain and yet so much to
lose if they stray from the road of righteousness and truth.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
What what the fuck is happening? Miles? Yeah, what is
he talking?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
The future for Israel and Iran is unlimited and filled
with great promise. God bless you both all gaps. So
you're such a kind god, mister Donald.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It's giving like parent at the end of their rope,
who's like go like oscillating back and forth between like
what the fuck?
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yeah yeah, and then just like being like you know what, actually,
like you guys are great.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
I like like trying to use like positive reinforcement, but
like they're so unhinged as they're doing it that everyone's like, yo,
like is dad okay.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
Yes, it's happening. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's It's just like
it's the same way. I'm like, just go to bed.
It's time to go to bed.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Okay, let's close eyes.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
We've got to go to sleep.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
And then I said, then like and the little boy,
he closed his eyes and he's so wonderful and we're sleeping.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Now you try fucking everybody, it was daddy's one twitching.
Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
So anyway for starters, Okay, even though they said they
both came to me simultaneously, what in a fucking dream?
Because when the you know, the Ironian official was asked
about this, they were like, huh, yeah, what are you
talking about and they're like, oh, the people from Cutter
are gonna get on the phone with you and work
something out. But then because their whole thing was like, Okay, well,
(04:51):
if they stop fucking bombing us for no fucking reason,
we can be open to ceasing military operations out you're saying,
But like, no one's even at fucking asked.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
So looked like there was something gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Then suddenly Israel said that Iran broke the ceasefire. Around's like, no,
we fucking didn't. I would in this instance. Israel is
not a reliable narrator when it comes to the reasons
for which they attack innocent people.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
So yeah, I'm not sure what happened there.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
But then Trump got really upset, and so far there
hasn't been much back and forth, although I who knows
how long that's going to take because no one. I
don't know who's in control of anything anymore at this point.
Even God, if you exist up there, he's.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Like, what the y'all? Yeah, damn the fuck? He lovebody?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
He didn't just like spike the football before he got
to the end zone. It was like first and ten
from the twenty.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Yeah, like you know, after a touchback, he's spenty football
and he just touched back.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
They handed it back to him and he spiked it. Yeah,
right away.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
I just like though, I just like the idea of
him doing the touchback in the end zone, thinking that's
the touchdown, and then spiking the football.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
He's like, yes, I got it in the end zone. Done.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
It's like, no, you're just you're just going to the
twenty yard line. But that's okay. I mean, I'm sure
everyone also hears about the f bomb heard around the
world from Trump when he said they don't know what
the fuck they're doing.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Yeah, NPR went deep and was like we asked presidential historians,
like what what's the precedent for this, and like honestly
reported on it, like, well, there is word that behind
closed doors. JFK actually used foul language quite a bit.
It's like, that's not the question.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I don't think anybody's surprised. Like we have we have
the tapes from LBJ talking about his bunghole, how big
his dick is, like from I guess not everybody listens
to those as he talks about yeah and well, yeah,
he does talk about his sack He was very fond
(07:00):
of talking about Jumbo his dick, which like that's I
don't know. There's so many wild stories from like what
how presidents behaved inside the White House that for them
to be like we've in private, presidents Harding, Grant, Truman, Johnson,
and especially Nixon, we're known to curse and one time
(07:20):
even President Jimmy Carter dropped the F bomb. Oh god,
he only cursed once while he was the President of
the United States behind closed doors, Like what a door
door like that?
Speaker 2 (07:33):
That is shocking.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
But to be reporting that, like, look, we've all done it,
We've all these guys have done it is pretty wild.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
The only one we're talking about dropping any kind of
a f buyas to Harry Truman dropping the A bomb,
that's right, that's the only one that fucking is relevant
because you know, they're all talking crazy shit. This I
think this the LBJ one people should or just go
on YouTube and starts LBJ Taylor and you'll hear this
guy earnestly.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Talking about how he needs these pants done right, or.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
He calls so he's like, you know, has the most
important job in the world at that time, a very
you know, busy guy and he calls the tailor and
it's clear he's just trying to brag about how big
his dick is to the to like a random tailor.
He's just like, yeah, because like you cut him like
too tight sometimes, and you know comes out from my
(08:23):
a little bit for my giant ding ding dong.
Speaker 6 (08:27):
He just made up on his own months ago.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
It's a kind of a light brown and a light
green rather salt.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Talking about pants that the guy made for him before.
Speaker 6 (08:38):
I need about six pairs for some.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Areware mm hmm, summerware.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
Around in the evening when I come in from work
and I can send you a pair. I want him
a half inch larger in the waist.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Than the where before here we go.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Two or three inches of stuff left back in there,
so I can take him up very ten fifteen.
Speaker 6 (08:59):
Pounds all right, Hell yeah.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Leave me at least two and a half pre inch
in the backgrock let him out, or take them up.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
And make a half inch bigger in the waist, make
the pockets at least an inch longer. Money, my money
and my.
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Knife, everything carrying them.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
On.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Just a second money and my knife. Keep that's how
you president. It's also just like the leisurely way. He's
just it's like he's got time to kill. Like the
tailor is probably like, could I get this guy off
the fucking phone. Yeah, But anyways, he eventually talks about
how about his bunghole.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
It's it's too long of a clip to play right now,
rids up.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
In my bung hole. That's that's the energy we're bringing,
Miles is extra sleep to prave today everybody, and we're.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Just I just don't with us the tips they work
and they don't work. It's like always it's mostly like
one step forward, point nine nine steps back. So it's
not total regression, but it still feels like torture because
I thought we fucking over this. You say to a
(10:11):
two year old, I know, all right, I need a
new pair of slacks. Then if you're awake sun now,
we're gonna need an extra inch in the pockets because
my ny and my knife, my knife, dude, I love it.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Mamdani.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Oh, my friend looking strong heading into So the Democratic
Primary is happening today as we speak. As we speak,
if you're in New York City and.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
You're on the day, in line.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
In line, go out vote for Zorin. Don't rank Cuomo, Momo, No, No.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
The headlines are that they're like, what is happening?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
God, it's wild, Like how openly hostile and like freaked
out the mainstream media is.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
I mean, it isn't right because I think some of us,
now we've seen this play many times over the last
nine years, where you're like, yeah, this is what they
do when people are like, yeah, the things that Democrats
are doing could be done way better.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Actually shut the fuck up about this. Yeah, Yeah, we're
fine with the status quo.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
We're fine with the Yeah, the Atlantic is obviously, I mean,
because he's pro Palestinian, they're just going fucking windmilling on
him constantly. All the coverage from the Atlantic other just
super mainstream outlets that help the DNC, you know, grant
their wishes or just like I.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Don't know about this guy.
Speaker 6 (11:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, I will say that I feel pretty good about Zorn,
Like in the primary, I do feel like there's a
real possibility that he does well in the primary, and
then like Cuomo has said, he's going to run as
an independent in the general and like it, Like, like
you said, we've seen this before. It's just reminding me
(11:53):
of like Bernie doing well in the Nevada primary, and
then the whole of the Democratic apparatus and the mainstream
media just joining together and being like fuck no, and
if was gonna run in the general, uh, that that
could be bad. There's also like a you know, bizarre
(12:13):
right wing Republican candidate who will we'll we'll talk about later.
But Curtis Curtis blow Yeah, Curtis Leewa.
Speaker 4 (12:24):
I mean he's yeah, I mean he's he's taking another
bite of the big apple trying to run for Americaan.
What a fucking carnival of freaks that are running. Yeah,
like this ship and New York. I know there's you,
I know, you have half a brain to fucking pick
the person who will actually give you something different that
you can believe in. But I'm also just worried about how,
(12:45):
you know, the Democratic Party.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Ever, they've already shown this this year.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Every time someone starts talking some ship like we could
be doing better with the people that are fucking running
things or fucking stale, they will try and stomp your
whole ship out.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
So yeah, I think I think it's only a matter
of time until we see the media completely fucking take
aim at him. But hey, right now, it seems like
he's got at least some of the people got momentum. Momentum.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I believe my great friends are Danny jef Venie.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Let's take a quick break, we'll come back, and we're back.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
We're back.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
And phrase alligator Alcatraz is trending. It's fucking it's like
so much darker than it suggests.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
Yeah, you're like, oh, they're gonna put alligators in the bay.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Is that why the upgrades in jail for cartoon alligators? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Exactly, not quite So what is going on in this country?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Just generally?
Speaker 5 (13:58):
Right?
Speaker 4 (13:58):
The Supreme Court just ruled that Trump can now deport
people to a country that is not no one warm there,
up from like sending a guatemal In person to South Sudan.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
So we're now just.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
Like, that's a yp Oh you're not from here. That
doesn't that's not my concern. Man.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
You can go to this concentration camp in another in
a third country.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
Yeah, is that? How does that work?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
How does that work for you?
Speaker 4 (14:23):
So, you know, and while most of the attention is
on you know, Israel's attacks on Iran rather than even
like the seventy people that were killed in Gaza yesterday,
who are in line for food. We still have the
ice goons running around the.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Activity being in line for food.
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Yeah, of course, of course, who knows, who knows what
they're trying to do with that food or waiting for food,
or being on the brink of famine. In many cases
are in the midst of famine. We still have the
ice goons running around unmasked, trying to snatch people up.
And Christinome is really fucking ramping up the fucking rhetoric
now with announcing this new prison for innocent people to
(14:58):
be tossed into.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
She said.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Under President Trump's leadership, we are working at turbo speed
to deliver cost effective and innovative ways to deliver on
the American people's mandate for mass deportations of criminally illegal aliens.
Even though all of the people that we're rounding up
are fucking regular, day to day people who are going
about their lives law biting in peace citizens.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But again, you don't they might have.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Accidentally caught in some criminal illegal aliens well as you
don't know, Yeah, it might have been purely accidentally.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
We're batten point one in terms of when we do
a sweep and we actually catch someone who's a.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Criminal illegal alien and criminal illegal aliens rhetoric there, Jesus,
we'll expand facilities in bedspace in just days thanks to
our partnership with Florida.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
These new facilities will in large part be funded by
FEMA's Shelter and Services program.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Jesus.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Correct which, and I'm.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Not gonna read her spin on that.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
It's like the Biden admit to fuck that you're talking
about money that's used to help people in are in
distress after a disaster, someone who has been in distress
after his disaster. You absolutely need things like FEMA running
to help people who are fully displaced, who have no
options for places to go, rather than being like, here,
let's build our fucked up alligator Alcatraz. This is the
(16:18):
Attorney General of Florida, James Uthmeyer, who's doing There's like
this whole pitch video for it, and it sounds like
a fucking like he's opening up a like a fan
boat dealership or some shit.
Speaker 7 (16:31):
Attorney General James Upmeyer here at the Miami Days Collier
Training Facility. This is an old, virtually abandon airport facility
right in the middle of the Everglades. Florida has been
leading on immigration enforcements, supporting the Trump administration and HES's
efforts to detain and deport criminals.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
So anyway, he goes on that there's like this old
runway in the Everglades. He's like, well, now we can
put a thousand people there, okay, And he's like, and
don't worry about security because they'll be eaten by alligators
or pythons. This is the other part where he goes
about like, this is why it's so cool.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
Temporary detention facility because you don't need to invest that
much in the perimeter.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
People get out.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
There's not much waiting for him other than alligators and pythons.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Yeah, no slow motion video of an alligator.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
Days after we begin construction, it could be up and
running and could house as many as a thousand criminal aliens.
This presents a great opportunity for the State of Florida
to work with Miami Dade and Collier Counties.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Alligator Alcatraz, We're ready to go. What the Oh, that's
not even unofficial.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
They called it alligator out.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
From the office of the fucking Attorney General of Florida.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Delligator Gay come in to fai waiting.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Fucking royalty free shitty fuck.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
Off man, like so fucking dumb.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
But again, this is all the point, because this is
all fucking cruelty NonStop.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Yeah, they're doing like launch videos for their concentration camps.
Yeah yeah, like viral fun videos like we get we
gave this concentration camp a fun little nickname.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
Yeah, you know, like they could have they could have
renamed Auschwitzer, like you know if any soby boor or
you know, bergen Belsen. All they could have called them
other fun names, like something alliterative. You know, bergen Belsen
was alliterative, a very alliterative, so I'll give him that.
But Alligator Alcatraz, Come on, it.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Sounds like.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
So you're just an innocent man escaping the law and
now you find yourself in Alligator Alcatraz.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yeah yeah, yeah, fun.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
All right, that's that's where we're at, right now, That's
where we're at.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yeah, Pixar just had its worst opening ever. I do
just wanna there were a bunch of headlines up front.
So the movie is called Ilio. Did a Person of Color?
Does a person of Color?
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Stand? To make a lot of money from this film.
Is that why they're going this.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Thing's a flop fucking stinker?
Speaker 3 (19:10):
They could be.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I actually don't know. The directors were out. It is
the director of Coco, and I think it's like kind
of autobiographical. But opened at twenty one million dollars in
North America fourteen million internationally, which people are pointing out
as the worst box office opening ever. But Disney is
pointing out and I do think this is worth pointing it.
(19:33):
Like Elemental came out in twenty twenty three, a film
that I would say not not a great movie because
it did have did have legs at.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
The box office.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
People didn't just all rush out to see it on
the opening day. And in fact, when it comes to
this latest Pixar movie, I like didn't really even know
it existed. Like I think I had seen the trailer
at one point, I didn't know it was coming out.
They're advertising it with the idea that like, yeah, we'll
just like leave it in theater for a little while,
and people once they're done seeing how to Train Your
(20:03):
Dragon or whatever, they'll they'll come over to our Pixar movie. Yeah,
Like Elemental ended up being a big hit, like massive
in South Korea and.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
I think Japan.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Oh, okay, so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
There's a weird, weird movie where it's like cloud Man
falls in love with fire woman.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
I remember the flame person and I was like, okay,
I'm old now, so I hope the youth enjoy this.
But this one, I don't even fucking remember this thing.
Like maybe I recall seeing the poster last time I
went to the movies.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
But what is with their marketing recently? Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
I mean they went big on Inside Out too. I
feel like they're just hoping that this one like kind
of people accidentally find out about it and end up
going to it. But it was it was definitely like
a troubled production. So it was the it's like an
autobiographical movie made by the person who made Coke, which
was like a massive hit for them. Yeah, and then
(21:03):
halfway through they were like, you're no longer directing it,
we're rewriting it. They killed off the main character's mother
was supposed to be voiced by America Ferrara, and they
replaced the director and like moved him over to Coco
two and then brought in the director of Turning Red
and another like in house Pixar director to direct it.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
So, but you just said the movies a like autobiographic corse. Yeah,
this guy's but yeah, man, we figured out some other
people to really tell this intimate story about your life.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah, it's like about a kid who lives on a
military base and like dreams of being abducted by aliens,
and then he is abducted by aliens and wow, great
fun ensues. It seems like it's like not is it's
like getting it's in the sixties on metacritics. So it
seems you know, I feel like Pixar movies one of
the things that people rely on is like that they're
(21:57):
going to be good for both parents and kid. That's
like one of the the parts of their secret formula.
And when when it doesn't deliver on that, like, those
are the ones that just like don't do well, Like
The Elemental didn't have great reviews. I think The Good
Dinosaur didn't have like great reviews. And those are the
ones that like don't perform that well.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Oh I feel like I forgot I've got a good Dinosaur.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Gotta make it good.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Yeah, Brian the editor points out, in some ways this
is this all goes back.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
To Rachel Zigler.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yeah, her stance on Palestine.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
We'll figure out a way.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
We haven't quite figured it out, but well.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Actually it's Rachel Zegler and Ryan Coogler.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, yeah, it's the GluRs, you know, yeah, the GluRs
