Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Afternoon Design.
Ah that is courtesy uh Aaron Winking a k E Wink.
Actually yeah, I think I think he did the zightly
(00:21):
News with Miles Broca, and I gave credit to another person.
So oh wow, I know, Miles. There are four things
trending right now that the people need to know about,
potentially five actually, so let's just tick through the real quick.
Chick fil A hashtag chick fil A? What they do? They?
(00:41):
I think I have said officially they're no longer giving
money to anti lgbt Q groups. So okay, fine, is
this the first time that we've seen, like I've heard
of change being affected through like Bernie Sanders will make
Hillary move left on things? Is this the first time
we've seen that effect from just a really great chicken
(01:02):
sandwich from Popeye? I think so it must be because
they are screwed. I think they. I mean, but when
you think about the health of their business, clearly that
wasn't a concern for most consumers based on how aggressively
Chick fil A is expanding and how well their business
is still doing. But I think maybe they're just sort
of like, how do we remove every barrier to entry
for people to like use our brand, and if that
(01:22):
means we have to not give to people who are
going to tell you that, you know, being an athlete
through Christ is the way to avoid the you know,
the fruits of the Yeah. I was, I was one
of them back in the day, Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Yeah,
in Kentucky. That was the best run after school. And
what it means the best run. It was the best
like pickup game. Oh really, Yeah, and it was the
(01:43):
only one that was like my school's June by virtue
of by default me not being able to do it
anywhere else. I mean, yeah, I think it's good for them.
I think before the fellowships, we're quite jarring button. I
think with them. At first I think the company proper
(02:05):
was donating and then like we stopped doing that, but
the foundation was still giving. So now I think they've
completely ceased. WHI shouldn't have been that hard of a
thing to do. Yeah, I think towards the end it
wasn't that much money, but you know what good Alright,
move moved with the culture. But the Popeye sandwich is
still better. It is better than any chicken sandwich. Uh, wow,
(02:27):
I've ever tasted I hope breaking your mother's heart. Mind not,
I didn't say chicken salad. Ma High Hopes is trending.
That is the song that people dance too in a
manner such as in accordance with what the Team buddhag
(02:48):
Edge was doing. Yeah, the Pete Summit. The Pete Summit. Yeah,
what then is that it is? I don't know. I
think it's just in general, it looks like a u
of like his organizers or were gathered. Um, I think
that's not really as relevant as like it was. Look,
one of his staffers, a Buddhaji staffer, was showing that
(03:11):
from this, I guess over the weekend they had a
pizza summit. So it's a lot of supporters doing this
panic at the disco song dance and the choreography. I mean,
watch out Jabberwoki's. Yeah, we were just talking about y'all,
but uh, Team Buddha Judge might be coming for your
neck with some of these moves. They were waving their hands,
they were clapping all in line. Yeah, I mean, good
(03:35):
good on y'all. Was their music? Oh there was music.
Oh I couldn't even hear there was high hopes. It's
just so weird to be like ha ha and just
doing like it looked like, um, like an aerobics class
at a convalescent's exactly because the cho look move a
little better than that. Some people had look some people
definitely had honey in their hips, but they were doing it, uh,
(03:56):
and others looked like they were getting their exercise. Yes,
it was among There's some of the wayest dancing I've
seen since a fishing and a lot of people are
just taking the time to absolutely filombay the people in videos.
One person just said Trump is going to be president.
Fuck uh, Team Buddha, Judge Baby the Yeah, high hopes,
(04:20):
High hopes. Alan Moore was trending and he had a
fire takedown of uh superheroes in popular culture, basically that
it sounds like I don't know if Damon Lindelof like
read his takedown of superhero culture when he was making
this Watchman show for HBO. Because it takes it anticipates
(04:45):
a lot of these critiques. Alan Moore says, I think
that a good argument can be made for d W.
Griffith's Birth of a Nation as the first American superhero
movie and the point of origin for all those capes
and masks, and it's he's basically talking about how there's
like sort of a uh not subtle undercurrent avoid supremacy
(05:08):
coursing underneath a lot of Look at all these master
race super strong dudes. Yeah, who just come in and
save all the like, save us all from our problems,
and we don't have to do anything. We just look there,
stand back and look grateful. I mean Linda Linda Loff
was convinced that Alan Moore had cursed him. Oh yeah,
because he was just like, I don't know what it is.
(05:29):
I just felt that things I was feeling a certain way,
and I could feel Alan Moore's disapproval wash over me.
And He's like, I could also just be completely delusional
and self centered and try to assume that the feelings
I'm having are because one person is so obsessed with me.
Yeah yeah, um, Walmart Black Friday ads is trending. Yeah,
(05:51):
it's everybody's dropping their Black Friday ads. Do you ever
do this? Do you ever go out and hit the stores?
I remember I tried in high school when like ship
was like get a flat screen TV for forty bucks,
and like flat screen TV is like nine thousand dollars.
So I was like, yes, bro, like, let's go. I
went there, the ships were gone because there's only like
two um, and then after that, I was like nah,
(06:12):
I also just don't like I'm just not good at
like knowing when to buy ship. Like I'm pretty much like,
oh yeah, I like that. I never like look forward
to black Friend. I'm like, Okay, I need a motherfucking
USB battery. I need a fucking a bunch of Hdmi
cables and ship like that. Everybody take note at home,
yes is what This is what I like. I like
a lot of external batteries and Hdmi cables and I
(06:34):
just like to collect them. You never know someone's gonna
need it. But yeah, everybody is doing wild sales, which
is funny because isn't it Like the thing with Black
Friday is that it's like the sale really isn't that
much of an actual sale, Like it's just the illusion
of one based on make money off of it. The
origin story for what like the naming of Black Friday,
(06:55):
which I think is am getting climped. Sorry you guys,
I just get really emotional we're talking about black read. Uh.
The origin story is that you know, you write down
losses in red, and when you start making a profit,
it's in the black, and some what brings stores into
the black. So even if that's almost definitely apocryphal, that
(07:16):
is still like most people have heard that. So why
would you think you're getting a deal when this is
where they make their money and start profiting. It's like, yeah,
that like basically the whole idea is they get a
lot of foot traffic by bringing a lot of people
in for these deals, but only a couple of people
get the deals. Yeah, well, you know Claire's Claire is
(07:40):
having a sick sale. I will say that if you'll
need some magnetic earrings like I used to get you,
get you some at Claire's just the stud like what's
his name? And righteous gemstones? Yeah, exactly, just you want
you want. If you want to surprise an X, let
us see that slow reveal like I'm different now you
got that little dangle cross earring? Really my ears my
(08:02):
ear piercings, I still I think still work. I was
trying to check the manually. I think, you know, if
when this show becomes massively popular and I'm wearing just
only gold jewelry, I will be wearing a dangle cross
earring like the Barry Bonds of podcasting without the H.
I was gonna say George Michael, but either way doesn't
look that good in jeans. As you've all seen, I
have what they call mumbum mumbum um. Another thing to
(08:26):
watch out for. Speaking of myths about Black Friday, the
whole uh there were like people trampled this year at Walmart.
Like that's overblown story that they they know they want
to tell that story ahead of Black Friday. They know
it's going to be a slow news weekend and they
know they want to tell that story. Carnage. Baby, They're
(08:47):
gonna they're gonna try and tell you that story. But
if you if you do any follow up on the
story or retweet a story at me, and I'll look
and oh, man tell you that it's when you look
at the deal. Sam's Club is having one nineteen dollars
for a respond gaming chair. Oh hello, wait, what then?
Is really don't know that the gaming chair it looks
(09:08):
like it has a weird footrest so you can fully
recline right as your arteries clock. Yeah. And finally, South Dakota,
I think it is is actually trending. They spent five
hundred thousand dollars on this ad campaign that was supposed
to combat UH meth youth in South Dakota. South Dakota
has a math problem, and the campaign slogan was meth period,
(09:35):
We're on it, like we're gonna get on this problem asap,
but it just says meth, We're we're on meth. Yeah,
hold on, like, how how do you funk this up?
It's you could the same thing is just North Dakota
or South Dakota were on math, We're on it. Yeah,
(09:59):
it's is it supposed to be like a provocative I
don't know, or it's like we're tackling it. Maybe maybe
they are like will do a campaign or a slogan
so bad that people will retweet it like South Dakota,
We're chasing the dragon up out of here. Get the
funk out right every time there's uh South Dakota, your
(10:22):
VCRs are safe like this. I like, I like to
think back at the Pepsi campaign, the redesign of the
Pepsi logo. Everybody needs to that needs to be taught
in school, in high school, just the leaked documents from
that because it's just such thorough and like unmitigated bullshit
(10:44):
from the AD Agency. But it's just to change the
logo as subtly as they did, but use like this
backstory of like global connections and Millennia coming around the
sun this time at a thousand revolution and yang like
what the fuck? Oh my gosh, I mean even like
this thing this photo of like an old rancher, It's
(11:06):
just it looks like an old guy, says meth. I'm
on it. Yeah, that's not fair to him. That's not Yeah,
he didn't he didn't sign up for that ship. Why. Yeah,
I really don't understand where they think this works, right,
I'm really trying to find like the nuance in this.
(11:27):
I mean I think I think we're right. I think
that you know, they took a look at their audience.
They were like South Dakotan's are just jaded, media saturated
people who are just will need a little wink and
nod with their anti math message, right, I mean a
lot of people too are getting mad. It's like for
that money they could have like opened up like rural
(11:48):
like rehab clinics or treatment facilities can get a lot
of you know, Gaba pent whoever fucking sold them on
that ship. Wow. Yes, finesse the funk out of the stage.
South Dakota. Yeah, I mean all of the you know
Khan men like who pulled off like all the great
(12:09):
great Flynn Flams in the early twentieth century just went
into advertising now now advertising as all those people. Someone
was pointing out that this isn't the first weird ad
campaign from South Dakota. In they had and like basically
an ad that said, uh, why die on Mars when
(12:29):
you can live here? And it was an anti drug No,
no, no no, it was just like it was for the
tourism board or just to invite people to the state.
Oh that Their thing was like South Dakota, why die
on Mars, you can live here? Okay, shout out to
South Dakota and whoever is selling them their ad slogans. Uh,
(12:50):
that's gonna do it for today? Do we ever introduce ourselves? Um,
Jack O'Brien, Greg. Yeah, that's all that's been us. That's
a good evening. We'll be back tomorrow morning. Also, there's
gonna be sale and tea public starting Wednesday, and guess
what they're gonna there's gonna be a little new March
design in their special for you All. You can get
that for thirty percent off and it ain't even Black Friday.
(13:11):
Might be my favorite design in a long time. It
might be. Okay, I'm not saying it. That's you didn't
have to keep underlining. That could be right, all right,
just ended there. Okay, so that's the end. But do
you think it's good now? Okay? Okay,
