Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of All
Xiety Trend Uh courtesy of Ben Swiller. Uh and all
of my friends entire comedic personalities from my entire childhood.
It was basically it feels like a thing like you

(00:21):
could do a documentary like where are they now? All
the people whose whose entire personality was Jim Carrey, Like, like,
where do they do? Because it's a It was a
fucking an entire culture of kids who were like, I'm
ace vnor or I'm just gonna do a bunch of
you know, Jim Carrey bits as my whole and they

(00:42):
were funny. It was just, uh, you know, shout out
John Douglas, shout out Brian Bosta to the that's a
great question. I think Brian is a lawyer, Okay, so
shut up, and to think like he's arguing a case
in courtnal like this dude used to sing out of
his ass crap. Oh man, Miles was doing some Gim

(01:08):
Carrey stuff before we started, and I went right back there.
I was like, more, this should be the podcast. Oh
my god, who knows there is some podcasts out there
where it's like just two dudes talking about how genius
Jim Carrey is like, oh my god, all right, let's
what's your favorite in Living Color? Bit right? All right? Uh?

(01:33):
The people come for the gym Carey impressions, but they
stay for the trends and talk. Here is some sports talk.
Euro is happening. Is happening right now. Rebranding is so funny.
The European Championship for football or soccer. Yeah, I was

(01:57):
postponed obviously because of the PANDEMI but now we got
it going on right now. It's looking wonderful. Uh. If
you're watching as as we record this, Italy is leading
Turkey two goals to nil, and yeah, you know this
is always like a fun tournament for soccer fans and
for people who have club allegiances, they can let those

(02:18):
melt away in service of nationalism. Yeah, in favor of
good old healthy nationalism, the force and human history. Like,
I'm not English, so when I see Harry Kane plan,
I'm like, yeah, I hope do funk. I hope it
all goes bad for you. I hate you, While people
in England are like, well I can put aside my club. Yeah,

(02:40):
but I remember that dude. He's uh handsome. Why why
are so many soccer players handsome. What's the deal with that?
I don't know. He kind of looks like, I don't know. Look,
leave me out of this. I'm not gonna I'm not
gonna I'm not gonna say how how cool I think
Harry Kane looks well. Check it out. If you hear
screams coming out of like random houses from like six

(03:03):
am to noon and you're like, what the fuck sport
could be on right now? They're probably watching the euro
Cup rum. And that's how I used to, like when
I used to live in this one apartment building, how
I found that other people were working with soccer because
like they were also screaming, like just out of their
minds morning. But yeah, I remember that the year the

(03:23):
Lebron and Dwayne Wade went to the finals against against
Dallas and like it was your Lebron just kind of
like triveled in the in the big on the big stage.
I just remember being in New York City and just
like hearing it just all over the place, just every
time something would happen. That's such a cool feeling part

(03:46):
of something larger than yourself. And now every time I
say something like this, I feel like I'm doing a
gym carey impression. It's really fucking with me, Ben Swiller.
So that's a play on Ben Stiller. But he likes
to drink. Who's I'm guessing, right, I guess I don't know,
you know, I mean their own to each their own handle. Uh.

(04:06):
Stockton is trending, and it's not because of uh, you know,
some tragedy happening happening in Stockton, California. But it could
be a tragedy if you're a fan of John Stockton
assist assist god Um. Stephen A. Smith is saying that again,
Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz is the greatest player

(04:28):
to don a jazz uniform. And because of that, there's
no need to talk about Karl Malone or John Stockton.
And we're not even say Jeff Dick, don't even don't
don't even give me. I'm not gonna say that name.
But that's where he's at. And I think that's caused
a lot of commotion for people who are probably like
old heads and like, how are you gonna say that

(04:48):
during the whole fame? Yeah, no, I I agree with
the old heads on this one in the sense that well,
Stephen A. Smith first of all, makes commotion for a
living and like things that are often indefensible. Just but yeah,
I mean we're two games into a series. Uh that
is not that is the second round of the playoffs.

(05:11):
Let's see how the rest of the playoffs go before
we You want to crown his ass, crown as ass,
but uh, you know that just seems a little a
little strong, um, especially like I mean, I'm giving room
for him to go much further beyond where he's at
right now, to uh take the Jazz to a title. Um.

(05:33):
I'm also not counting out Kauai. I feel like Kauai
sits back, like, lets this team lose a couple feels
you out and then just uh stomps through your behind
the behind the wheel of a car where the steering
wheel just kind of blow just comes off in the
middle of it and you're out of control. Right. That's

(05:54):
just think of that meme where they were putting together
like as if Kauai Leonard was in that focus group
from the uh Kim Jong n who's doing pr for
this guy because he's all over the place. First to
tell Selty looks holly help us the Daily zeit guys,

(06:16):
please we want to get on that level with these
mentions all over the place, two days in a row trending. Okay,
king shout out to the Hermit Kingdom. God uh, this
dude is out here because he has of course, this
is going to get traction because he says K pop
is a vicious cancer that is corrupting the youth of

(06:39):
North Korea, and apparently because of this, there are going
to be harsh penalties, harsher penalties on citizens who are
caught consuming South Korean movies like K dramas or like
K pop and yeah, it's just popular culture in general
or K pop like music and killer. I think it's

(07:01):
probably because, like anything, you know, like there's a whole
industry or like underground industry from documentaries you've seen about
North Korea where people smuggle in content on USB drives
and that's how people are able to kind of get
a glimpse into the outside world. And it's probably just
because it is becoming like you can't just sort of

(07:21):
you can't stop youth culture and ship like that no
matter what you try and do, and then you sprinkle
in like really catchy K Bob. Yeah, bro, I'm sorry,
I'm not you're gonna get that. I don't know how
you're gonna put that back in the box. Um, But yeah,
that's like they said. They call it anti socialist influence
and it's quote corrupted the attire, hairstyles, speeches, and behaviors

(07:43):
of young North Koreans him. What is right? I mean,
they're like you, dud does not have a great hairstylist.
I would say, for for as much money and attention
that is he puts into his image, Uh, the hairstyle

(08:04):
is hmm, yeah, I mean this is the heart for
someone who is trying to have an iron grip hold
on the minds of your people through propaganda and lack
of information. This is probably the most unsettling thing you
could see. Is like just a way of like popular
culture come over the country, even if it's in secret.

(08:25):
But yeah, like because those are the things that gives
people ideas for maybe living a different way. He's been
picking fights with you know, America and uh, some of
the biggest militaries in the history of the globe. And
this is the biggest, most un the most unwinnable battle
he's he's picked to trying to fight BTS Army. You're

(08:46):
trying to Yeah, good luck. You're trying to fight like
a youth movement inside your own population. Yeah that's yeah. Yeah, No,
I mean have you seen the swag you see? Has
he see in a g dragon video? Do you know
what you're up against? Kim Jong u. He's gonna I
do love when somebody's just like, well, I am the

(09:09):
villain of the story, and this is the thing that
the villain would do, So I'm gonna gonna dig in. Yeahause,
I think like if I'm sure, like if you had
real like psychology experts trying to be like, you know,
actually you lean into it and then you corrupt it
by leaning into it, and then they don't want it

(09:29):
anymore because you've made a whole gross and Kim Jong
ooney and stuff. But I don't know. I could see
him in in desperation being like, hey, here's our new
k pop k pop band. Check out this group w
m D. The only way he could have successfully did
is like if he leaned into loving it and like
he started dressing like that and then actually, I don't

(09:52):
know how the North Korean youth culture worked. Maybe they
would have been into that, but this is not gonna work.
Um so, but will be interesting to watch. It just
shows you, like the power though of popular culture at
the end of the day, like you know, no amount
of like leaflets like air dropped with like this is
how life could be. It's like giving people a glimpse

(10:14):
at just expanding their worldview. Yeah, and now you tell
me miles after we spent all our marketing budget on
leaflets that from I know, I was crossing. I know,
I was watching Dunkirk. I thought it was really cool
in that opening, and then I'm like, what is what's
the point it is? Um, it's like, give up. You
are already not consuming the greatest podcast. Subscribe now. Yeah,

(10:39):
it wasn't clear. We didn't even say the name of
the podcast, Game of Thrones Coffee Cup. We Uh, it's
an age old mystery. Um, like two years I guess. Uh,
and now we found out who did it? Yeah if
the Last of the Starks, Uh was the episode which
is the one right after they'd be the Night King

(11:00):
And everyone's like, oh, we did it, y'all. I guess
I don't know it was it? Yeah, oh yeah, it
was probably Yeah. In my mind, I just blocked out
that that was that, and I'm just like, so that's
how you're going to end it. Um. There was you know,
if you remember, there was a whole controversy because there's
like just a straight up modern like paper coffee cup

(11:22):
on the table where Dan Hairis was sitting, and people
are like, Jesus, y'all really kept kept your foot off
the gas on this when you'd even catch all these
props coming in. They had to take it out, and
it created a whole thing. At first we were like,
it was Sophie Turner, and then she was saying it
was Amelia Clark, and then then Amila Clark said it

(11:43):
was Kid Harrington, and then the fans believed it was
probably Sophie Turner, and then Amelia Clark blamed the dude
con Lyth Hill who plays Varis, and it just all
became like all over the place. But Reese, she just
did an interview, um, and she says that quote, it's
not Starbucks spoiler. I'm going to say it again for
the record, was not mine. I'm looking at you Dan Weiss,

(12:07):
dB Weiss, one of the show runners. She says it
was him because in the scene him and David Bennie
Off were playing like extras there's like two extras in it,
and they were kind of they were in the scene too,
just in there, you know, she said quote who looks
slightly like a Metallica tribute band and she's saying that
they he was the one who put the cup there,

(12:28):
left the cup there. Wow, that's us. They they managed
to really funk everything up the Yeah, because I wondered too,
like if it's a show runner, you're gonna be like, um,
you can't bring that cup onto set, like just for
you know, continuity, like you're those are probably a few
people like you're not gonna check if you're like a

(12:49):
d or something or just one of the producers on set,
Like I don't know, like yeah, I'm gonna tell him
he's sucking up the scene or you can't have that.
So who knows. But that I wish that made the
ending better. But here's open the three body problem that
they don't manage to completely fuck that up. Well, speaking
of managing to not completely fuck something up, the In

(13:11):
the Heights Um theatrical cinematic adaptation of the lim Manuel
Miranda it was like sort of the thing the real
heads were like, Oh, you think Hamilton's good, you should
have seen in the Heights. I was out here on
within the Heights, so they adapted it to the screen.
I've not seen it yet. I did see the play

(13:32):
before I knew who lim Manuel Miranda was and it
was very dope. And the movie is supposed to be
very good. So uh, it's out this weekend. I don't
know if people are. People are saying between twenty and
thirty million, which would be pretty decent for a for
a musical. I know it's weird, how like different like

(13:54):
normally be like, oh, that was a total failure right
when all the theaters are open, but now we're like, yeah, okay,
but yeah, I mean I think I know they're there.
I've read a couple of things about how they were
really taking the wardrobe really seriously to make it feel
like you know, these like Latin X and Afro Caribbean

(14:15):
Caribbean communities in New York. And the amount of air
Force ones I'm seeing. I'm saying, yes, I believe you
are in tune and even some wheat colored tim adjacent
um air Force ones. Well yeah, um um yeah, I
just I'll probably check it out. But you know, me
and musicals, it takes like a critical mass of people

(14:38):
to be like you, uh yeah, and then you watch
it just angrily yeah, and then you're crying by the
end and you're like I want to be them. Al right. Well,
those are some of the things that are trending here
at the end of this fine week. On Friday, June eleven,

(15:00):
we're back Monday with the whole last episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other and be kind
to yourselves, wear a mask at the vaccine, and don't
do nothing about white suprivacy, and we will talk to
y'all on Monday. Bye bye,
