Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Robert
De Niro versus Al Petrendo, Baby Putrendo, Baby, Wow, Wow,
Young de Niro versu Young Patino, Petrino Pacino.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
That's his name. Hey, I'm Jack, that's Miles.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
We're the young versions of ourselves, and uh, these are
some of the things that are trending.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Uh, somebody just broke Twitter this.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Young al Pacino or young Robert De Niro, and I
gotta say both answers have me uh salvating.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Okay, Yeah, I was gonna say it took you a second.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Your your your circuits were so fried by the heat
that was.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Just coming off your screen.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Ashley Reese at Offbeat Orbit asked the question that somehow
got to this a fifty to fifty split on a
Twitter poll with over two hundred and fifty thousand fucking
votes cast. That's wild, she tweeted, at a wedding and
having a big debate right now, please vote who was
hotter young Al or young Robert.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yes, and it's I don't know what to say.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, so she is like, yo, that like, it's crazy
to me that anybody would say de Niro like young
al Pacino, was beautiful. Neither of these answers are crazy
to me when you look at it, like that's what
that's where they like they're both mid To me, Yeah,
I mean I don't know that. I feel like my photographs.
(01:38):
They both photograph extremely well.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I would say, yeah, I guess for me, I'm not
like I'm like ooh between the TI.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Just to them, they're kind of like it's like the pole.
I'm like, yeah, they're both about the same. Like I
get that they were handsome young men, like you know,
like most people in their youth, they had their physical prime.
I think it's more just like how when super Producer
and dropped this in our group thread, I think what's more.
I think a better question is who's hotter? Now that's
(02:08):
more interest, there's more to work with there. Looks like
at the US point, you take the you take the
age the young time period when they're both hot, and
then you kind of run through them as they age.
And yeah, I mean I feel like de Niro held
(02:29):
on a little bit stronger Pacino like went like, for instance,
in heat right, like Pacino kind of like he has
that thing, that like thing that happens to aging men
where they kind of start looking like old women a
little bit, Like they start looking a little bit like
(02:50):
my grandma after she had her like hair done, you.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Know, like a lot. Okay, yeah, like that like you know.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Puffy shirts with shoulder pads type. Like the vibe I'm
getting from Al Pacino and Heat.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yeah, he definitely has like when like I remember, like
when my friend's mom, who always had long hair, did
the thing as she got older and like chopped it off, like.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You know, like as I'm older, I just want like
to have a shorter du Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
The way Pacino comes out with that like quaff hairy
Heat does feel like try and guess who's working this
new short hair.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Due and it's me.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Serving Lukes, sir. But they're both amazing in that. I
mean Pacino's performance in that is like prime screaming Cajun man. Yeah,
for for no apparent reason, as super prosor Brian and
I were talking about before it started, like there's I
think I learned this on the podcast Action Boys. But
(03:45):
like his whole idea for that character heading in and
throughout production was that he was blitzed on cocaine the
whole time. And I'm like, yeah, and Heat, Al Pacino's
character like a major league coke problem and wow, and
that was like informing why he goes so big.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
With every single speech.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
That's wow, no control over the Violey speed.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Okay, she got a great ass.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Okay, but Jack latter day face off old Pacino or
old DeNiro.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
De Niro has aged into this is like for me,
like de Niro and my dad have aged very similarly.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
So why like I see you?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, I feel like DeNiro's age well, and he he
just looks too much like my dad that for me
to be impartful about how he looks. The Pacino looks
like like he looks so out of sorts, like with
his long hair and like way too many excessor like
wrist accessors and shit that he wears and scarves.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
He always looks like he got dressed by accident.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yeah, or he's like this old guy who's trying to
make it out here in a younger person's world and
is just so overwhelmed by everything that yeah, he's just
he just looks like chaos, Like if he feels like
that tweet about del Curry, like you don't want to
be out here, You don't want to be out.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Here, like this what He'll do to you got spun
around twenty times and stepped out of a wind tunnel
every time you see him, like he just looks, you know,
unsure of what's going on, but then brings it yeah with.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I don't I want to look like I don't yeah,
all yeah, I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
If they were both very attractive young men, Appacino more
conventionally uh, and de Niro had more of a like,
kind of different look to him, which is why I
think where where, I think the people are kind of confused,
right because now everyone just kind of looked like every
you know, like pet dude in a major city looks
(05:49):
like Surproico now right right, So in that sense, I
guess he gave people an inspiration, But they were famously
competitive with one another and like you know, had to
be very downlickly handled on set when they were in
the same film and heat.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Uh. And I'm just.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Curious if they're aware of this poll. How many times
have they voted? How many times have they asked their
friends to vote?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
You know, where they are.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Vote for?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Who is this? He calls? He calls Martin scorsesey even
though he didn't Hero is. I know Rob has probably
called you already. All right.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
There's a man by the name of David Nielsen who
left Wall Street to work for charity for a Church
of Latter day Saints charity.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, and him, a Mormon himself, was like, yeah, let
me go.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
So he worked for this charity and found out that
it was basically being run like.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
A hedge fund.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You know, they they accepted people's tithings. The main source
of the money is church. And you don't know, this
is the fucked up practice in a church where they're like.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
If you want God to fuck with you, okay, you
better give me your money right now. And if you don't,
I don't know what to say.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And if you there's a clip that was going viral
recently of a like of a pastor preacher who was like,
if a family is forced to decide between offering a
tithing or pay for a meal, I would say make
sure you give to the church first, because without that,
there's no way to guarantee.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
That you could have food on the other side without
God's grace.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
That's right. Cool.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
So they took every they took and made that into
a fucking edge fund.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yes, the church collects an estimated seven billion in contribution
from its seventeen million members annually.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
And they just basically he's saying that once the money
goes in, it don't come out right building a giant fund.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
It's like a non profit. They're like, it's a nonprofit. Okay,
it's like, oh so it's charitable.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah, yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Other business people.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Really, they're like, oh so you're not like building churches
or you know, helping people spread the word. Not really,
because like I like how this guy looked in He's like,
the only money going out is to other fucking businesses
owned by the church or people associated with the right.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So and yeah, I think if you could create a
hedge fund that was able to grow its money tax free, people.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Would be on board with that.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But yeah, so they're taking advantage of that little loophole
that people abused in the United.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
It just breaks my heart when people of the cloth
religious people you never see it coming, you know, never
fucking see it coming.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
That's what's so so hard about living in this modern
era or since time immemorial, since.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
People have been duping their parishioners.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
But holy shit, it's like such a finesse too, Like
this guy was just like, yeah, no money, like when
they ask like when he asked people like if y'all
not like, if the money's not going out, what is
it for, It's like it's.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
A rainy day fund, all right?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Yeah, but then the rainy days were like one of
his like his bosses share this document that at a
meeting that showed one point four billion dollars from the
fund went to a mall being built on land owned
by the church, and then six hundred million was used
to prop up a for profit church owned insurance.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Company, Gloria.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, hey, we're going to make money so you can
make more money, you know.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Like Kiyosaki says, it's about the debt that I have
look at that, because you got to have debt to
make money, Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
It is like I do wonder how many, like the
church members, how many of them thought that, like are
going to be mad at this? Like it's like when
you find out that Harvard has an endowment of like
you know, a small nation, right, You're like, but isn't
that is that what the people want who are giving
the money, They're like, yeah, now our endowments bigger than
(09:59):
Yales and so that's all that matter, Like is it
just a dick measuring contest with other churches to be
like and we must be right because look at that.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Look at ahead head chu Chingy, call up Chingy.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Because uh whatever, I forget because he's at the holiday inn.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I was trying to remember a song by Chingy. Yeah
it's been to them.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, well Miles, it's been way too long for us
and Chingy yeah yeah, yeah, well yeah, he's you know,
he's banned from LA Radio Fun in Fun Radio. Fact,
you'll never you'll you will not hear Chingy on LA radio.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Just for behavioral problems, not because he crossed radio stations
with live shows and like all the pro programming directors
like okay, we're not gonna play your ship.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
And then Chingy disappeared from the radio in La.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, there you go. On my new podcast, te Chingy
Battle to Airwaves.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, all right, let's say history. You have history of
all things Chingy, all things Yeah, all right, let's take.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
A quick break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And we're back, and I guess just update on the
Ja Morant situation. You know, he he has not learned
a thing, has not learned he was on Instagram live
in the middle of the season with a gun, Like
he was in a club on a team trip with
a gun and they were, uh concerned, and so he
(11:33):
was the prespended did a lot of like rehab in.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
The public eye, out of the public eye.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
What are those rehab exercises? Like like he picks up
a gun and like now put it down. Ah, yes, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
You are not a gang member. You do not need
a blammer on you, sir.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Anyways, there there was an Instagram live over the weekend
where he was spotted with yet another blam Yeah, the
blamers don't quit, No, they don't and uh And it
was funny because it wasn't on his live. It was
like his boys like ig because like I think at
the time only one hundred people were watching. But there's
a moment they're like rapping this song and the guy's
(12:15):
got the selfie video on. He's like panding over to
job rant sitting next to him, and then like for
one second, John Moran, somehow he goes.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
From not having a fucking gun in his hand.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
So then the next time you see him, he's like
waving a pistol and it's the friend. Oh it like
it felt like a Simpson's bit about it, like a
gun just appears in his hands. We don't know how,
and the and his homeboy like tilts the camera down
real quick. He's like, oh shit, that was in frame.
But then you can tell he's telling John. He's like, yo,
(12:44):
I'm live or whatever. Put that shit away.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
And then he slowly brings the camera up, like from
away from his chest so you can see the camera again,
and he's like bouncing his shoulders and like there's no
gun anymore.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
And you're like, y'all, it's they've caught you in four
K already.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Please stop with this, Please stop with the fucking gun
play in general, like what the fuck? Like we don't
have enough morbid shit going on with guns like that.
I mean, if he was smart, he would tell people
it was an airsoft gun, right, But that's why he
doesn't hire me, as his publicist does seem like there's
the opportunity here because the video quality was so low,
he could be like it was.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
A toy gun. He's like, he's like, wing is probably
not the but the the Grizzlies have already suspended him.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, I guess like he could argue, it's like it's
like when people go from smoking cigarettes to vaping. He's like,
I went from holding real guns to airsoft guns, and
eventually I'll hold a wooden just a thing that's like
a wooden l that feels like a gun, and.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Then I won't have to hold one at all. I'll
be prety clean. Yeah, it's like your patch for popor Memphis. Man,
they're fucking fulling apart right now.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
They went from being something really exciting to now just
a whole lot of.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Whole lot of problems. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Well McDonald's lost that hot McNugget lost Who wait what?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
So a child had.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Nuggets spilled onto their last The nuggets were extremely hot.
The four year old leg was actually like burned to
the point that there's like scarring.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
So McDonald's was sued and.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
A chicken McNugget.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, well so this is the like McDonald's is franchised out,
so like there's lots of opportunities for people, know, an
individual franchisee to have like a different you know policy
or not some safety protocol in place. So the nuggets
come right out of the grease like into uh, they
(14:32):
take into the scar, they take the basket and they
just whip it at the customer fresh out of the friar.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
There's like not even a box that comes in.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Wow, that's so like wil to even picture a McNugget
that fucking hot that it would burn.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, Like the.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Hottest thing I ever had was probably like when they
used to fry the apple pies.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I remember as a kid, like that fucked me up. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I lost all of my taste on my tongue for
my entire thirteenth year from one of those.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I remember that book he wrote Things we Lost in
the Fire.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yes, but I don't know this is being raised as
like once again like McDonald's getting sued for stupid, Like
you remember the coffee thing was like a big story.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah, And I remember at the time in the nineties
it was like, oh, you're just trying to get one
over and then when you like actually ready, you're.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Like, holy shit, what house?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
So just went in doubt. You're probably the corporation.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
The version that you're getting of, like what happened with
the corporation is not as bad as what actually happened,
right right, right, So just generally when the knee jerk
is like, let's make fun of this stupid four year old.
It's supposed to go in your mouth, not on your legs.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Like when that's your initial instinct, maybe take a beat.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Maybe maybe don't publish that podcast episode exactly. Uh, that
is actually why we had no episode. On Friday, we
did a whole episode just making face.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Shout out to Becca Bay Victor Brian justin Anna.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Every one of the producers was like, Dune, you do
not like want to spend forty five minutes laughing at
this four year old's legs. Yeah, but I was like,
I mean McDonald's has never steered me wrong. Yeah, even
though I lost all this taste on the side of
my mouth. All right, Well, BuzzFeed uh closed the news division,
but apparently they put all that brain power into making their.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Lists absolutely hit.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah, because there's a new one that is nineteen non
horror movie scenes that scared and traumatized Gen xers and
millennials as kids.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
This is just like straight up.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Down the middle. I'm sure I've read a version of
this article five times before on BuzzFeed, but hey, they
weren't just repeating it lazily.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
They were getting better.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Is they they nailed it with this or I mean
there are a handful on here that well. I think
they nailed it in that they basically trawled a sub
reddit for someone asking the question and then brought the
answers here.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Which is all BuzzFeed is.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Reddit is the front page of the Internet, and BuzzFeed
is like, no, psych actually we're the front page.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Oh yeah, I mean Reddit so much.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
So much of the viral shit you see on Twitter
starts on Reddit, and like it's always funny when you
see like like there's always people been like you're just trawing,
Like you're just trawling Reddit and putting it on another platform.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Anyway, So that's.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
What BuzzFeed did. Anyway, the people have read it, they
know what the fuck they're talking about. Because the very
first one of scenes that horrified the you know, the
first thing I thought of was the large Marge sequence
in Peewee's Big Adventure.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
That's number one on the list. That is the first
scene I can remember like being like thinking about weeks
years after it happened and before.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
To do all that, Yeah, they didn't, I remember, why
you have to do that?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Didn't have to do that, didn't have to do that?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
You didn't have to do that. My god, why did
he go so hard?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Yeah, And I remember watching it last year, like on
my birthuse. I was like, you know what, I'm gonna
watch pee Wee's like, let me just get back into
it that scenes. Still, I was a little bit like
I could feel my heartbreak because I like in anticipation
for that part.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, I was a big Superman head when I was
a kid, and I think I brought this up, like
it just popped into my brain, I think one day
while we were recording. But in Superman three, there's a
part where a lady gets forcibly turned into a robot
where just the weirdest and again it is like stop motion,
(18:30):
like it feels like it's being done with practical effects
in a like I can still picture it. I don't
think i've watched it in thirty five years, but it
has always been in the back of my mind, like
since I saw it as a child, Like it really
fucked me up. So that that's on their never ending
story when the horse drowns in quicksand.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah, that's all that's sad.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
You know, it actually fucked me up, Bambi, when the
mom gets got oh, Yeah, that fucked me up bad.
And that's not even like really horror anything like the
thought of like being abandoned by my mother.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I remember it was so potent child.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I was like, oh my god, I don't hate Bambat
other good ones, the et Decontamination Tent sequence.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That one was really sad. I remember that it was sad.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
But it didn't like like the images from it didn't
live in my brain.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
No, Like Large March. That ship is large.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yeah, I could.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I could write that with my eyes closed and give
you like a photo realistic sketch.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
And then a lot of people said that the Temple
of Doom was really scary, not because of its terrible racism,
but from the scene where they get ripped.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
The guy's heart out. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yeah, Khali ma Shuki day I was.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I was always like, yo, this particle is fucking hard. Yeah,
that part was just cool to me.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, And like in like Pancott Palace, even though like
the Monkey Brain, I was.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Never like even put off by that either. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Well, shout out to BuzzFeed again just doing the best
work out there by stealing shit from Reddit.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
All Right, those are some of the things that are
trending oh yeah, afternoon, Oh yeah, we are.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself,
get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and
we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Bye bye,
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Robert
De Niro versus Al Petrendo, Baby Putrendo, Baby, Wow, Wow,
Young de Niro versu Young Patino, Petrino Pacino.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
That's his name. Hey, I'm Jack, that's Miles.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
We're the young versions of ourselves, and uh, these are
some of the things that are trending.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Uh, somebody just broke Twitter this.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Young al Pacino or young Robert De Niro, and I
gotta say both answers have me uh salvating.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Okay, Yeah, I was gonna say it took you a second.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Your your your circuits were so fried by the heat
that was.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Just coming off your screen.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Ashley Reese at Offbeat Orbit asked the question that somehow
got to this a fifty to fifty split on a
Twitter poll with over two hundred and fifty thousand fucking
votes cast. That's wild, she tweeted, at a wedding and
having a big debate right now, please vote who was
hotter young Al or young Robert.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yes, and it's I don't know what to say.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, so she is like, yo, that like, it's crazy
to me that anybody would say de Niro like young
al Pacino, was beautiful. Neither of these answers are crazy
to me when you look at it, like that's what
that's where they like they're both mid To me, Yeah,
I mean I don't know that. I feel like my photographs.
(01:38):
They both photograph extremely well.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I would say, yeah, I guess for me, I'm not
like I'm like ooh between the TI.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Just to them, they're kind of like it's like the pole.
I'm like, yeah, they're both about the same. Like I
get that they were handsome young men, like you know,
like most people in their youth, they had their physical prime.
I think it's more just like how when super Producer
and dropped this in our group thread, I think what's more.
I think a better question is who's hotter? Now that's
(02:08):
more interest, there's more to work with there. Looks like
at the US point, you take the you take the
age the young time period when they're both hot, and
then you kind of run through them as they age.
And yeah, I mean I feel like de Niro held
(02:29):
on a little bit stronger Pacino like went like, for instance,
in heat right, like Pacino kind of like he has
that thing, that like thing that happens to aging men
where they kind of start looking like old women a
little bit, Like they start looking a little bit like
(02:50):
my grandma after she had her like hair done, you.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Know, like a lot. Okay, yeah, like that like you know.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Puffy shirts with shoulder pads type. Like the vibe I'm
getting from Al Pacino and Heat.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yeah, he definitely has like when like I remember, like
when my friend's mom, who always had long hair, did
the thing as she got older and like chopped it off, like.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
You know, like as I'm older, I just want like
to have a shorter du Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
The way Pacino comes out with that like quaff hairy
Heat does feel like try and guess who's working this
new short hair.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Due and it's me.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Serving Lukes, sir. But they're both amazing in that. I
mean Pacino's performance in that is like prime screaming Cajun man. Yeah,
for for no apparent reason, as super prosor Brian and
I were talking about before it started, like there's I
think I learned this on the podcast Action Boys. But
(03:45):
like his whole idea for that character heading in and
throughout production was that he was blitzed on cocaine the
whole time. And I'm like, yeah, and Heat, Al Pacino's
character like a major league coke problem and wow, and
that was like informing why he goes so big.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
With every single speech.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
That's wow, no control over the Violey speed.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Okay, she got a great ass.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
Okay, but Jack latter day face off old Pacino or
old DeNiro.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
De Niro has aged into this is like for me,
like de Niro and my dad have aged very similarly.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
So why like I see you?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, I feel like DeNiro's age well, and he he
just looks too much like my dad that for me
to be impartful about how he looks. The Pacino looks
like like he looks so out of sorts, like with
his long hair and like way too many excessor like
wrist accessors and shit that he wears and scarves.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
He always looks like he got dressed by accident.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yeah, or he's like this old guy who's trying to
make it out here in a younger person's world and
is just so overwhelmed by everything that yeah, he's just
he just looks like chaos, Like if he feels like
that tweet about del Curry, like you don't want to
be out here, You don't want to be out.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Here, like this what He'll do to you got spun
around twenty times and stepped out of a wind tunnel
every time you see him, like he just looks, you know,
unsure of what's going on, but then brings it yeah with.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I don't I want to look like I don't yeah,
all yeah, I don't even know.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
If they were both very attractive young men, Appacino more
conventionally uh, and de Niro had more of a like,
kind of different look to him, which is why I
think where where, I think the people are kind of confused,
right because now everyone just kind of looked like every
you know, like pet dude in a major city looks
(05:49):
like Surproico now right right, So in that sense, I
guess he gave people an inspiration, But they were famously
competitive with one another and like you know, had to
be very downlickly handled on set when they were in
the same film and heat.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Uh. And I'm just.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Curious if they're aware of this poll. How many times
have they voted? How many times have they asked their
friends to vote?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
You know, where they are.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Vote for?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Who is this? He calls? He calls Martin scorsesey even
though he didn't Hero is. I know Rob has probably
called you already. All right.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
There's a man by the name of David Nielsen who
left Wall Street to work for charity for a Church
of Latter day Saints charity.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, and him, a Mormon himself, was like, yeah, let
me go.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
So he worked for this charity and found out that
it was basically being run like.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
A hedge fund.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You know, they they accepted people's tithings. The main source
of the money is church. And you don't know, this
is the fucked up practice in a church where they're like.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
If you want God to fuck with you, okay, you
better give me your money right now. And if you don't,
I don't know what to say.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
And if you there's a clip that was going viral
recently of a like of a pastor preacher who was like,
if a family is forced to decide between offering a
tithing or pay for a meal, I would say make
sure you give to the church first, because without that,
there's no way to guarantee.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
That you could have food on the other side without
God's grace.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
That's right. Cool.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
So they took every they took and made that into
a fucking edge fund.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yes, the church collects an estimated seven billion in contribution
from its seventeen million members annually.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
And they just basically he's saying that once the money
goes in, it don't come out right building a giant fund.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
It's like a non profit. They're like, it's a nonprofit. Okay,
it's like, oh so it's charitable.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah, yeah, like.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Other business people.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Really, they're like, oh so you're not like building churches
or you know, helping people spread the word. Not really,
because like I like how this guy looked in He's like,
the only money going out is to other fucking businesses
owned by the church or people associated with the right.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So and yeah, I think if you could create a
hedge fund that was able to grow its money tax free, people.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Would be on board with that.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But yeah, so they're taking advantage of that little loophole
that people abused in the United.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
It just breaks my heart when people of the cloth
religious people you never see it coming, you know, never
fucking see it coming.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
That's what's so so hard about living in this modern
era or since time immemorial, since.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
People have been duping their parishioners.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
But holy shit, it's like such a finesse too, Like
this guy was just like, yeah, no money, like when
they ask like when he asked people like if y'all
not like, if the money's not going out, what is
it for, It's like it's.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
A rainy day fund, all right?
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Yeah, but then the rainy days were like one of
his like his bosses share this document that at a
meeting that showed one point four billion dollars from the
fund went to a mall being built on land owned
by the church, and then six hundred million was used
to prop up a for profit church owned insurance.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Company, Gloria.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, hey, we're going to make money so you can
make more money, you know.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Like Kiyosaki says, it's about the debt that I have
look at that, because you got to have debt to
make money, Okay.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
It is like I do wonder how many, like the
church members, how many of them thought that, like are
going to be mad at this? Like it's like when
you find out that Harvard has an endowment of like
you know, a small nation, right, You're like, but isn't
that is that what the people want who are giving
the money, They're like, yeah, now our endowments bigger than
(09:59):
Yales and so that's all that matter, Like is it
just a dick measuring contest with other churches to be
like and we must be right because look at that.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Look at ahead head chu Chingy, call up Chingy.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Because uh whatever, I forget because he's at the holiday inn.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
I was trying to remember a song by Chingy. Yeah
it's been to them.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Yeah, well Miles, it's been way too long for us
and Chingy yeah yeah, yeah, well yeah, he's you know,
he's banned from LA Radio Fun in Fun Radio. Fact,
you'll never you'll you will not hear Chingy on LA radio.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Just for behavioral problems, not because he crossed radio stations
with live shows and like all the pro programming directors
like okay, we're not gonna play your ship.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
And then Chingy disappeared from the radio in La.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, there you go. On my new podcast, te Chingy
Battle to Airwaves.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Yeah, all right, let's say history. You have history of
all things Chingy, all things Yeah, all right, let's take.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
A quick break. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And we're back, and I guess just update on the
Ja Morant situation. You know, he he has not learned
a thing, has not learned he was on Instagram live
in the middle of the season with a gun, Like
he was in a club on a team trip with
a gun and they were, uh concerned, and so he
(11:33):
was the prespended did a lot of like rehab in.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
The public eye, out of the public eye.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
What are those rehab exercises? Like like he picks up
a gun and like now put it down. Ah, yes, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
You are not a gang member. You do not need
a blammer on you, sir.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Anyways, there there was an Instagram live over the weekend
where he was spotted with yet another blam Yeah, the
blamers don't quit, No, they don't and uh And it
was funny because it wasn't on his live. It was
like his boys like ig because like I think at
the time only one hundred people were watching. But there's
a moment they're like rapping this song and the guy's
(12:15):
got the selfie video on. He's like panding over to
job rant sitting next to him, and then like for
one second, John Moran, somehow he goes.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
From not having a fucking gun in his hand.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
So then the next time you see him, he's like
waving a pistol and it's the friend. Oh it like
it felt like a Simpson's bit about it, like a
gun just appears in his hands. We don't know how,
and the and his homeboy like tilts the camera down
real quick. He's like, oh shit, that was in frame.
But then you can tell he's telling John. He's like, yo,
(12:44):
I'm live or whatever. Put that shit away.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
And then he slowly brings the camera up, like from
away from his chest so you can see the camera again,
and he's like bouncing his shoulders and like there's no
gun anymore.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
And you're like, y'all, it's they've caught you in four
K already.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Please stop with this, Please stop with the fucking gun
play in general, like what the fuck? Like we don't
have enough morbid shit going on with guns like that.
I mean, if he was smart, he would tell people
it was an airsoft gun, right, But that's why he
doesn't hire me, as his publicist does seem like there's
the opportunity here because the video quality was so low,
he could be like it was.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
A toy gun. He's like, he's like, wing is probably
not the but the the Grizzlies have already suspended him.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, I guess like he could argue, it's like it's
like when people go from smoking cigarettes to vaping. He's like,
I went from holding real guns to airsoft guns, and
eventually I'll hold a wooden just a thing that's like
a wooden l that feels like a gun, and.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Then I won't have to hold one at all. I'll
be prety clean. Yeah, it's like your patch for popor Memphis. Man,
they're fucking fulling apart right now.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
They went from being something really exciting to now just
a whole lot of.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Whole lot of problems. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Well McDonald's lost that hot McNugget lost Who wait what?
Speaker 2 (13:56):
So a child had.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Nuggets spilled onto their last The nuggets were extremely hot.
The four year old leg was actually like burned to
the point that there's like scarring.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
So McDonald's was sued and.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
A chicken McNugget.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, well so this is the like McDonald's is franchised out,
so like there's lots of opportunities for people, know, an
individual franchisee to have like a different you know policy
or not some safety protocol in place. So the nuggets
come right out of the grease like into uh, they
(14:32):
take into the scar, they take the basket and they
just whip it at the customer fresh out of the friar.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
There's like not even a box that comes in.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Wow, that's so like wil to even picture a McNugget
that fucking hot that it would burn.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, Like the.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Hottest thing I ever had was probably like when they
used to fry the apple pies.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
I remember as a kid, like that fucked me up. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
I lost all of my taste on my tongue for
my entire thirteenth year from one of those.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
I remember that book he wrote Things we Lost in
the Fire.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Yes, but I don't know this is being raised as
like once again like McDonald's getting sued for stupid, Like
you remember the coffee thing was like a big story.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah, And I remember at the time in the nineties
it was like, oh, you're just trying to get one
over and then when you like actually ready, you're.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Like, holy shit, what house?
Speaker 2 (15:23):
So just went in doubt. You're probably the corporation.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
The version that you're getting of, like what happened with
the corporation is not as bad as what actually happened,
right right, right, So just generally when the knee jerk
is like, let's make fun of this stupid four year old.
It's supposed to go in your mouth, not on your legs.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Like when that's your initial instinct, maybe take a beat.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Maybe maybe don't publish that podcast episode exactly. Uh, that
is actually why we had no episode. On Friday, we
did a whole episode just making face.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Shout out to Becca Bay Victor Brian justin Anna.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Every one of the producers was like, Dune, you do
not like want to spend forty five minutes laughing at
this four year old's legs. Yeah, but I was like,
I mean McDonald's has never steered me wrong. Yeah, even
though I lost all this taste on the side of
my mouth. All right, Well, BuzzFeed uh closed the news division,
but apparently they put all that brain power into making their.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Lists absolutely hit.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah, because there's a new one that is nineteen non
horror movie scenes that scared and traumatized Gen xers and
millennials as kids.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
This is just like straight up.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Down the middle. I'm sure I've read a version of
this article five times before on BuzzFeed, but hey, they
weren't just repeating it lazily.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
They were getting better.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Is they they nailed it with this or I mean
there are a handful on here that well. I think
they nailed it in that they basically trawled a sub
reddit for someone asking the question and then brought the
answers here.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Which is all BuzzFeed is.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Reddit is the front page of the Internet, and BuzzFeed
is like, no, psych actually we're the front page.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Oh yeah, I mean Reddit so much.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
So much of the viral shit you see on Twitter
starts on Reddit, and like it's always funny when you
see like like there's always people been like you're just trawing,
Like you're just trawling Reddit and putting it on another platform.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Anyway, So that's.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
What BuzzFeed did. Anyway, the people have read it, they
know what the fuck they're talking about. Because the very
first one of scenes that horrified the you know, the
first thing I thought of was the large Marge sequence
in Peewee's Big Adventure.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
That's number one on the list. That is the first
scene I can remember like being like thinking about weeks
years after it happened and before.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
To do all that, Yeah, they didn't, I remember, why
you have to do that?
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Didn't have to do that, didn't have to do that?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
You didn't have to do that. My god, why did
he go so hard?
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Yeah, And I remember watching it last year, like on
my birthuse. I was like, you know what, I'm gonna
watch pee Wee's like, let me just get back into
it that scenes. Still, I was a little bit like
I could feel my heartbreak because I like in anticipation
for that part.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, I was a big Superman head when I was
a kid, and I think I brought this up, like
it just popped into my brain, I think one day
while we were recording. But in Superman three, there's a
part where a lady gets forcibly turned into a robot
where just the weirdest and again it is like stop motion,
(18:30):
like it feels like it's being done with practical effects
in a like I can still picture it. I don't
think i've watched it in thirty five years, but it
has always been in the back of my mind, like
since I saw it as a child, Like it really
fucked me up. So that that's on their never ending
story when the horse drowns in quicksand.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Yeah, that's all that's sad.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
You know, it actually fucked me up, Bambi, when the
mom gets got oh, Yeah, that fucked me up bad.
And that's not even like really horror anything like the
thought of like being abandoned by my mother.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
I remember it was so potent child.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
I was like, oh my god, I don't hate Bambat
other good ones, the et Decontamination Tent sequence.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
That one was really sad. I remember that it was sad.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
But it didn't like like the images from it didn't
live in my brain.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
No, Like Large March. That ship is large.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Yeah, I could.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I could write that with my eyes closed and give
you like a photo realistic sketch.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
And then a lot of people said that the Temple
of Doom was really scary, not because of its terrible racism,
but from the scene where they get ripped.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
The guy's heart out. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yeah, Khali ma Shuki day I was.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
I was always like, yo, this particle is fucking hard. Yeah,
that part was just cool to me.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, And like in like Pancott Palace, even though like
the Monkey Brain, I was.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Never like even put off by that either. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Well, shout out to BuzzFeed again just doing the best
work out there by stealing shit from Reddit.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
All Right, those are some of the things that are
trending oh yeah, afternoon, Oh yeah, we are.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself,
get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and
we will talk to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
