Speaker 1 (00:02):
I really liked that line.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
They caught me lack in early morning, pour an almond
milk into my honey smacks, crash the rented Hyundai.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I feel like Kanye.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
It's just like he's really he's really nice. Yeah, this
is stove God, stove got cooks. Stove got cooks.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I love the specificity. He's not just having a bowl
of cereal. He's having a bowl of honey smacks, and
he's doing it with almond milk, which the fact that
he cooks, I got a second guess is culinary decision there.
Almond milk is so is the worst milk to put
on your cereal? In my humble opinion.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's it's the worst milk in I think every conceivable
way like that. I used to I used to work
at a cafe where we had to make our own
almond milk. The amount of work you have to do
to make almond milk palatable at all.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Down the process milk.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
It's team right, It's like an hour long process of
actual labor, and then you have to let the ship
sit for hours. And that's that's presumably like the good
almond milk, the almond milk that I generally keep in
our house where we're a lactose intolerant household is.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Pretty stomach We get stomach aches in this house.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I have a stomach ache right now. I'm feeling like
I'm feeling like stepped on ship, Brian. But I'm here
and I'm ready to tell doing it for you that
gang the Yeah, I guess this could be a cold open.
The the milk, like almond milk is so watery. That's
like my kids have at this point. They get me
(01:50):
the get me my lactap pills, old man, because it
is lactose free milk, not because down here it's we
just burned through it real fast. Okay, you know what
I mean, Like we're not. I feel weird about being
the type of household that has three gallons of milk of.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Of cow milk in the in the fridge.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
But ye, but you got like kids and stuff. Yeah,
and they like that's their fuel. It is, it's all
they it's all They're on a pure milk. They're both
lactose intolerant on a pure milk diet, like Mussolini. And
that's something that I feel like ghost Face could put
in his song something about Mussolini. Being on a pure
(02:34):
milk diet.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, No, that's definitely. That's definitely is the word.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I feel like he would. I just want to hear
what are we doing. I'm sure he's got a Mussolini line.
Hold on, he's got to have one. No, I don't
think so. Mussolini line ghost faces? What my night with
(03:00):
Mussolini's ghosts?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
All right? Uh wu tang clan ZEI gang out there?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Let us know. Are we missing one? But yeah, almond milk,
you've had your run. I do feel like there is
a chance that we're looking back on almond milk in
a decade.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Being like, what the fuck were we? What were we doing?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
You know?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, the juice is literally not worth the squeeze. That's right.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this week trend edition of.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Daily Night Guys.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Uh ow ow ow, what's the production of My Heart Radio?
This is the episode where I could care less about
the team struggling. This is the episode where we tell
you what was trending over the weekend, what is trending
on this Monday morning.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
We also let you get to know us a little,
but we're doing a little overrated, underrated.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
It gets too real on this episode, Miles had to bail.
He was like, I can't. I can't deal with how
real it gets when we're doing.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Our own overrated, underrated.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Uh No, he's still in London for he went to
the Arsenal game and they.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Are still looking for him.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
We're still looking for so stepping in today one of
my favorite co hosts to step in for Miles.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's Brian the editor.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
It's me, Brian the Editor, and literally no one else
was available today.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
That's not true, that's not true.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
First choice, but yeah, Miles is missing. He was last
seeing in this place called Chumley and that is not
spelled how you think it is.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
I don't even I don't even have a fucking guess,
to be honest with you. Anyways, I feel like shit,
but we're we're going to get into it. It's the
day for election day, so go vote. Please not for
Spencer Pratt if you're in the LA area, would be
my hope and dream for.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
You and us. Otherwise, I don't know. I just go
to the DSA website. I'm like, who I vote for?
I don't know. I don't have fucking time for this.
That's terrible.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I don't have time like I've voted in like thirty
eight elections. Man, I was just like, I don't have
the time to do residential elections.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah no, no, I.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Voted in thirty eight, Like you know the ballot that
I turned in yesterday.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
So you're two hundred and seven years old. Okay, all right,
yeah yeah yeah cool.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Cool.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Anyways, so we kick off doing our own underrated overrated Brian,
you want.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
To kick us off? You want me to start us
off with some things we think are underrated. I think
I think I'm prepared this morning Dealer's choice.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Uh so my underrated I have here how deadly house
cats are. So I woke up to humans, no, just
to just to life. I woke up on Sunday morning
to get a package from the door. My entire living
(06:23):
room is covered in feathers. The thing is, we live
in a third story unit in an apartment building with
no access to the outside. So my my cat managed
to catch a bird from the terrace somehow how, like
(06:43):
it's the what, and he just absolutely destroyed this thing.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
In the living room.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It was like it looked it looked like a pillow exploded.
Like there's just feathers everywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Now, I've never killed a bird. Are they feathers on
the inside too?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Broankfully, Thankfully, mister man is not the His style is
not to start ripping pieces off of the bird. He
just sort of puts it in his mouth and crushes it.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, he shakes it around.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, And he's just he's the sweetest little guy, just
a cuddle monster until you put him in the front
in front of a bird or a rat or something,
and then he just cannot help himself.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Have you seen those videos of like the centipedes on
the cave ceilings that come down and like catch bats
and eat them.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I have seen clips of this.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
That's how I'm picturing him getting the bird. He's like
on the window like sort of suspending himself like I'm
cruise mission impossible.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Because birds don't really come on. Our terrace is covered.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
And there's only there's a lot of plants and stuff,
so it's not a lot of space for a bird
to get in.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And I just I have no idea how he caught this. Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
But yeah, they're they're insanely uh efficient murderers.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
They are bred for it, you know. They they were
designed to catch rats. I think that was like dogs
were designed to be little companions who make us feel
good and like our are our buddies, and cats are
are hired are whatever about dogs? The spirit takes over me?
(08:35):
And cats are are hired killers you know?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yea, So my partners from New Zealand and they they
are such an invasive species over there that like people
hunt pyial cats. Yeah, because they kill all of the big, fat, delicious,
flightless birds that they have over there.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
It's a disaster.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
No, yeah, they I mean I remember this study that
I think we wrote about a cracked and we've covered
before on this show. But the like a a single
outdoor cat will affect the ecosystem in a neighborhood just
from the number of birds that it kills. It will
affect bird populations. Yeah, all right, great underrated, Brian, my
(09:23):
underrated I got. I got a handful of like dumb
dumb ones for underrated.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Overrated.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
So my underrated ads spokespersons who are not Jim from
the office.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
He is. Have you been watching the NBA playoffs, by
the way, shout out Wimby.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
No, But I've heard about his voiceover work and I
can see the place like he's just his voice from
the office.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
He's got, he's got. He nails that thing that.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
A lot of advertisers look for where you're like, you've
got this affability and like relatability that you've baked into
your voice.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
And the whiteness, of course, yes, oh the whitest. He
loves and respects. The CIA is the thing about him
that I've not I've yet to be able to get over.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
You can't get access unless you play ball, you know.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
And he is Jack Ryan. Are you a Krasinski apologist?
I feel like you're You're.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Like, hey man, he's just here trying to make a living.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Look, it's your underrated bro. Why are you asking me questions?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
First of all, amazing weekend for the NBA Playoffs and Knicks.
It's Spurs and Knicks. Wembingyama defeated the defending champions Wembyama
and like the youngest team to make it to the
Western Conference Finals or any conference finals since nineteen seventy
(10:47):
seven since my grandfather was coaching the Trailblazers. They ended
up winning the championship with Bill Walton and a bunch
of young people and the Spurs. The Spurs are looking good.
The Knicks are looking good. It's a very it's a
very fun NBA Finals that we have, Like I might
have to pop.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
To Twin Peaks and check out a few of these games. Yeah,
you might eating a massive tray of nachos. But anyways,
when you do watch you you will be greeted by
a lot of There's there's a John krasinskiad where he's
like driving a car and he's like, God, this car
is so sick. It makes me feel like I'm in
a movie.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
And then he's like being chased by uh, you know,
motorcyclists and killing them without thinking too much.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
About like like he would.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
And then there's another one where he's like with Steve
Carell and it's just like the premises these people are
best friends.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
You know that.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
That's a whole genre of ads where they're like they
just find three random celebrities and are like, these people
would be best would be fun to be best friends.
And this makes me just like Steve Carell less. The
idea of him hanging out with Jim from the office.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, like, what what do they get up to? What
would they get up to if they were actually friends?
Because I don't buy it.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Steve Carell smells various coffees and tells you where they're from.
And then really he's like a he's a Q grader
or something. That's right, wow, in the in the world
of the ad. And my pitch is, why stop at
the ad, Let's make this an entire cinematic universe. Anyways,
that that's just a brief one. My other is just
(12:28):
I saw a bus ad and I just want to
encourage people who are naming things, who are writing copy,
to just think about what your pun communicates. If anyway,
I saw a bus ad for a lawyer and the
copy was just Las Angelus, and I don't know what
(12:50):
that means, Like I like, I get it theoretically, it's like, yeah,
you're the law person because you're a lawyer. But it's all.
It's all so it's not related to that. That's not
the name of the firm, and it doesn't say I
don't know if you're a defense or a prosecution, and
it just.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Since it's on a bus, you can you can probably
that this is for like, you know, injury, it's an
ambulance chaser.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I guess it's just I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I guess it was just sitting right there and they
couldn't resist. My favorite example of this is the sushi
place by where I first moved when I came to
La on the West Side, that was called Miso Fishy
like Miso Soho sake. It's a complex punt with you know, references,
(13:45):
manages to cramp two of the foods in that you're selling.
So I see why they were excited about it, but
it's a complete nightmare. It says your fish restaurant smells
bad and then connects that bad smell to sex somehow.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
That that lawyer pun is in my mind, that's on
the level of like like a mom and pop pet
shop that has pause in the Yeah, it's just like,
what are we even doing here?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Okay, Like pause Angelus would be good.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah, pause angelists is something about Lausse Angelus for a lawyer,
just like seems.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
So it knocks you down a few pigs. It seems
so useless.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
It's just like it's not communicating anything, it's not saying
anything whatsoever. But yeah, me, so Fishy will always be
the queen.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
It's like me.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
But it's like a doctor having a cute name or
something like coming with cut.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
It's like you don't need to do that. Bro, you
don't need to do that.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, all right, what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Brian, So I came across this some of across this article,
uh like last week.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Titled It's at the time. Is that why you stumbled?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Uh you said you stumbled across the article.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I was just oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, No,
I always drink. I'll drinking now.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It's from this website called slash film and the title
of the article is many the Pit fans are proving
that yes, it's possible to be bad at watching a
TV show. And that caught my interests. I wanted to
see like what the what the writer's angle was. And
it's sort of touched on something that I keep noticing,
(15:35):
and it's that fandoms a are weird, and two that
a lot of fandoms will approach the media they like,
like TV show or whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Music. They'll approach it like it's a puzzle box to be.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Solved, and it's so weird and funny, and it's like
they're people. I don't know if you've seen The Pit,
but people are doing it with the Pit, which is
in my view, it's the most straightforward show on TV.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
There's no mystery tost Yeah, it's.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Crazy and people have all these I'm not going to
get into the meat of the article because there's probably spoilers,
but people are people are really stretching. They're stretching like
they are in Pilate's class. And I also noticed this
with like Boards of Canada just released their first new
(16:32):
album in thirteen years, and their music I don't know
if you listen to them, but their music deal it's
like electronic, very very spacious and hazy and stuff like that.
And their music deals with themes of like religion and
science and math and stuff like that, a lot of
subjects that are.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Kind of cryptic on their own.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, but the fandom approaches literally everything they do like
it is a puzzle to be solved, and it's it's
so frustrating because I don't see how you can enjoy
things when you're you have your analytical brain on with
the red string trying to connect things that aren't actually connected.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
So, yeah, we're bad at the and have been for
some time. I feel like like there there's been weird
conspiracies that like the Beatles were hiding messages in their
music that said that they had actually like killed and
replaced Paul.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I think it was.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
But yeah, we're like when you look at something for
long enough, And I'm definitely guilty of spending too much
time thinking about things and coming with things.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
But I can't.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I don't treat every like thing that I like as
like because the pit is the most wild to me
because people are coming up with these theories that are
just like is it.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Theories as to like what is going to happen? Like
a twist that's coming.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Sort of, but it's more that they're trying to tie
more things together than was ever intended, like of because
you know, it takes place in almost entirely in an er.
It doesn't follow characters home or anything. So people come
and go just like they would in an er, and
(18:25):
sometimes you just never see those people again because who
needs to be at the hospital that often? But like
there's like events that happen in the show that you know,
somebody comes into the ear, they leave, and then people
start postulating on things that happen off screen that are
(18:46):
highly improbable if you think about them for one second.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
In our band writing, and this is.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
What it almost sets expectations in their head of like,
well if this doesn't happen, then it's like and it's
just like just watch the show.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Just yeah. I feel like the sometimes they nail it, sometimes.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
They hit it out of the park, and the the
fan theory they come up with is better than what
the writers of the actual show come up with. So
I'm just saying, have some self respect as a fandom,
and like have have your little you know, discord where
you're all you know, they can't all be winners, but
like you have your little discord where you're brainstorming and
(19:29):
then you only bring it out to share with us
when you've got some good shit.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
But like, you know, you know how.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Like football teams in the UK, like their fandom is
organized and has like some self respect and like write
songs and then debuts those songs at games.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
And stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Like I feel like having some self respect among and
like some organization among a fandom. And if you're going
to do this sort of thing, you know, don't don't
don't share with the world and until you until you
actually crack it, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
And also like if you make, if you make shows
and your online please don't try and like preempt like
fan predictions and don't change your vision just because someone
on a forum might have gotten close to figuring out.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
What you're going to. That has happened, right, well, that happens,
and please don't do that.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Couldn't do that good idea, that was our idea all
along because somebody guessed it.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I suspect that.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Is what happened to the last several seasons of Game
of Thrones, Like I think that benning Off and Weiss
were online or had online people in their ear, like, yo.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Bro, they've fucking figured it out. The fuck are you
gonna do?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, because they the ending they went with was just like, well,
you couldn't have guessed this because it's completely random.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
It's completely random and we didn't set it up at all. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I think that there's something about fandoms that like want
to believe that the creators are paying attention, like reading,
but there are there is evidence that that goes along.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Like even the NBA, like people say Adam Silver is.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Like chronically online and just like bathing in the stream
of the discord the NBA discourse like on a daily
basis and like trying to react to the opinion on
like NBA Twitter.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Which can't be healthy because his name does come up.
I know. Anyway, what do you think is overrated?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Let's see, I'm just on election stuff. I would say
mailers for elections, they're still oh, Brian, they have doubled down.
They have doubled all the way down to the bottom.
I this can't be working at all, like even even
(21:54):
once can't. Like someone gets a stack of like sixteen
different tradictory election ads and they just like use they
use that to make their decision. Has that ever happened, like,
because it's just it. It does seem like it must
be a sort of the Red Queen effect where you
(22:14):
have to like run faster and faster just to stay
where you are where.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
It's just like everybody's doing this.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
So if you're not doing it, then you're losing ground
by not doing anything.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I mean, i'd imagine they're losing ground with very specific demographics,
very very old people. But like I thought we were
trying to save trees and shit, I thought that post
office was sucked up.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
They're like they have that, They're they're focusing on killing
trees with extreme prejudice. It would seem to me, Yeah,
the number the number of mailers in the Los Angeles
area right now is truly.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I've ever opened one.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Oh they know that, and it's postcard status. They're they're
giving you big shiny one sheets. Yeah they should. They
should like put a little like approved for the black
card and then it's like the black card to vote
for Nythia Rahmen to trick people. But yeah, and then
(23:23):
the other thing that I'm getting kind of inundated with
is is texts, which I guess they've they've moved on
to kind of knowing how people actually communicate these days.
It just makes me dislike you. But it's as they've
just completely ruined on.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
It's done cooked.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
But the thing that I specifically think is overrated is
the delete and Report spam function on my phone because
every time I do it seems to be reporting spam
to someone who thinks I like spam, because it's just
like it keeps coming more and faster. When I report it,
(24:06):
it's just like, yeah, this guy fucking loves it.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Oh he got another one. He seems to really like.
The button is delete and report for more spam exactly
report how much you love it?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Anyways, don't do that please or fix the deleteam.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Dude, you got any more? I'm gonna actually send you
some good ones. Uh.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
I know, I know you're not a fan, but I
feel like they've really stepped their game up. Let's take
a quick break and we'll be back to talk about
some news.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
We'll be right back. And we're back.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
And with America going deeper into war and no end
in sight for the negotiation of a peace by wildly
incompetent administration that we currently have running our country, I
feel like it's time to talk about the weekend box
office right off the bat. Oh yeah, hell yes, because
(25:14):
this is this feels like a monumental shift. The number
one movie at the box office this weekend was a
little movie called back Rooms, which I think we mentioned
on the show last week. It's like a It's it's
based on a YouTube series in a way that I
(25:35):
don't think I've seen a movie based on a YouTube
series quite this directly.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
But it's like, no, the only direct you've really liking
it too in recent years is maybe like the slender
Man movies.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
But the slender Man movies did not make an eighty
one million dollars.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
In North America, and I think like a twenty million
budget something like that.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Oh yeah, Like there's no chance they gave this YouTube
director over twenty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Twenty years old, by the way.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Yeah, super young. This is this is like what we've been.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Waiting for.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
This We've been talking about, like how the death of
Hollywood and the death of movies has been talked about
for years and years and years, and it's all based
around this idea that we're going to keep making only
blockbusters like that. So back Rooms destroyed Week two of
(26:36):
The Mandalorian and Grogu Grow The Mandalorian and Grogu dropped
seventy percent.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yeah, in its second week. It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
It's cratering. And it didn't do that well in the
first place.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Like it got Like there's a movie, another movie that
came out.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I don't know what it's about.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
It's called Obsession, but it came out the week before
Mandalorian and Grogu.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Obsession is also a YouTube or director. Yeah, and I hear.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
It's really good and it came out the week before,
and then Mandalorian and Grogu dropped and Obsessions still beat
it like it it actually went up the following week
and Grogu went down.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Yeah, yeah, so Grogu dropped seventy percent, and obsession keeps
going up week over week, which is like a thing
that never happens. It's always like very front loaded because
that's just how Hollywood like spends.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
The marketing dollars. They try and get everybody like to
the theater on the first weekend.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
But when you have an actual like I remember this
happened with like Titanic and The Hangover and shit, where
like it's a movie that like people just the word
of mouth is so crazy strong that it just like
goes up and up and up. And this is once
again a director who came from like online and is
(27:52):
doing fucking great and it's supposed to be really good.
But like at a certain point the studios are going
to you know, be making bullshit and then new groundbreaking
ship will invent itself presumably online. You know, like that
is it makes sense that that's where it would be.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, there's something that this very heavily reminds me of,
just sort of in spirit of just sort of how
exciting it is is actually your friend Jason Pargin, Because
my friends were huge fans of his work way back
in the day when it was just like like web
episodes or like he would put out chapters online and
(28:37):
then that turned into one of the guys at the end.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yeah, he started publishing a book in a fort like
just as he So a lot of Cracked derived its
like energy and power from Jason was created a forum
that was called Pointless Waste of Time that we then
like made forum for the back end of Cracked, but
like just fucking around with his friends at Pointless Waste
(29:03):
of Time, he like started writing a horror novel that
became like a massive kind of underground hit in the community,
you know, just like not he wasn't like publishing it anywhere.
He was just publishing it in threads like for his friends.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, and like watching that, watching my friends.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Read that and reading little pieces of it, and then
watching that turn into a novel and then watching that
turn into a movie was so cool to see.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
And that was like the.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
First time I saw like the internet have an effect
on the industry in any meaningful way really, So that
like this is I'm getting this kind of vibe from
back rooms.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Uh yeah, totally it.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
So this the thing that is really unique about it
is it's not like they found a talent on YouTube
and then we're like all right, you make the next
Jurassic Park movie or whatever. They were like, you do
this thing that you made into a nine minute video
on YouTube that has like eight million views, and you
like blow it out into a feature length film. It's
(30:05):
like the exact same aesthetic. It's like kind of the
same premise. It's it's very cool, Like you can go
watch the YouTube videos now they're like very very creepy.
But it's kind of the most one to one adaptation
of a online video into some you know, a feature film,
which is something like Hollywood usually fucks that up, like like.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
The slender Man movie, which was was this big studio
led thing, like I don't think they involved anyone who
sort of helped come up with the lore of slender Man.
I don't even know where it comes from exactly, but
it was not an organic feeling thing that felt like
a genuine expression. It just felt like, Hey, the kids
(30:51):
are talking about slender Man, so let's crank out a movie, right.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Yeah, we were talking about how skibbitty toilet like that
online thing, which is another thing, like very specific weird
aesthetic that people like went crazy for, and the way
that they chose to adapt that was give it to
Michael Beck be like, hey man, what would you do
with this guy who made six Transformers movies? He is
(31:20):
my son's favorite filmmaker, so I can't.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I mean, that's his films are for ultimately, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
But yeah, this is just like a straight up that
I wonder if they'll learn a lesson from this though, Like, oh, so,
like he just did the thing that he does online,
but like with a bigger budget. The have you watched
the back rooms videos like he's I'm familiar.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
I do enjoy backrooms lore and SCP lore, and like,
I just like the idea of like collaborative online world building.
I guess because a lot of the stuff isn't like
strictly like like a hard narrative. It's just like these
scenarios and these sort of building blocks that you work
(32:11):
with of like back Rooms is like liminal spaces and
like spaces that appear to be made for humans, but
something's off like the scale or like can't possibly be
something about it makes sense? Yeah, yeah exactly, And I
like stuff like that, just these weird little vignettes that
(32:35):
people collectively sort of build together.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
I think that's just like a really.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Cool phenomenon that's you only really get on the internet,
and you can't collaboratively, like talking from earlier, you can't
collaboratively make a TV show like you're working on the.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Show like where you can maybe they should be, but.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Like in the you know, you get in the discord
with your friends and you're like, oh, it'd be cool
if this happened or that happened, and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
And like that's I feel like this is a good.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Space for that energy of like, yeah, building your own
world instead of trying to project it onto something that
someone else is making. You can sort of take the
building blocks and make your own almost like lego.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Right.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
I do wonder if the people who work in the
studio are in the studios are like getting younger, and
so that's like why we're starting to see them do
this correctly is because you know, like people who are forty,
you know, or like in their thirties, which is like
a lot of studio executives are people who grew up
(33:38):
on the internet. So like I feel like they can't
be I don't know, maybe not. I actually don't know
if Hollywood is like hanging on like doing the thing
other industries are where like everybody's in their seventies, but
I'm sure there's like some young people, some young blood
who are getting in there and actually being like, no,
that would be the wrong stupid don't give this guy
(34:01):
the next Jurassic World movie, Like let him do do
his thing, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Because that's like such a corrosive thing.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
It's like you do you do this genuine expression and
then you get you get tapped to do something that
feels huge, but really all it does is.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Take you out of the game for fucking years. Yeah. Yeah,
and you can't you can't express yourself.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
You're sort of there's you're sort of being like battle
tested for the machine.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
I guess like they're anti art there.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
There's like an impulse like a death Hollywood death drive
that's like yeah, it is like they see make sure
this person doesn't make something cool.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Like they see the light out in like it beyond
the tree line and they're like, oh my god, there's
an artist out there.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Let's go kill it. Let's go let's go, let's go
kill it.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Like it's just wild, how like it just it's it's
I think it sucks that when you see one of
these cool indie movies like forget an example, but like
you see something someone makes it's their first movie, and
then the next thing they're doing is a Star Wars thing,
and you're like, oh, fuck, Like, I'm not going to
be able to see anything this guy comes up with
(35:12):
for five to seven years because he's going to be
doing this. It's just I do want to really co
opting creativity for their own nefarious purposes.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
I do wonder if this is gonna be a wrap
on Star Wars, like because it's doing so about Probably not.
I think they have too many projects that are like
in the works, but the lesson that they're taking from them,
and they do love to kill projects that they have
in the works.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
I don't think Star Wars is going anywhere, but they're
not moving in a direction that it seems like people
want to want to follow.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
I think everybody loved the TV show that's name is
Escaping Man.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
I mean not the Man and Or and or people
loved and Or people love Skeleton Crew.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I think.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
People did like the Mandalorian and show because it's just
like a goofy little Western It's like gun smoke in
space or some shit. But yeah, no, the movies. I
don't know what the fuck they're doing. I think they yeah,
I think they like you do it.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
It never works out that well when you do a
episodic TV show and then you're like, and here's the
movie and it's just another episode of the TV show.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Like people are just like hearing is like, is like
four episodes stapled together.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Yeah, it's like the Simpsons movie was a lot of fun,
but like it also, you know, I don't think that
that is just like a natural transition, Like it's not
something that like I feel like everyone was like, we
needed this the one thing we've always wanted that they
can't do on TV show. Us Bart's dick, you know,
(36:49):
crazy crazy plot to that movie, which fucked up Stephen
King because he was writing basically a plot where a
town was put under a glass dome.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
As that movie came out, Oh oh yeah it did happen,
He's like.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Dope, all right, let's uh, let's take a quick break.
We'll come back, we'll talk about hard news. We'll be
right back, and we're bad. We're back and we are back.
(37:24):
What's going on with Donald Trump said he want to
be on two hundred and fifty dollars bill, which is
like kind of funny, like Trump being Trump.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
He is, why not making five hundred bro.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Yeah, it's causing the deaths of many, many people by
pulling the war and Iran and starting it in the
first place. Less funny, still Trump being Trump. There's a
headline that caught my attention because it really feels, really
feels like we're grasping at straws here as people who
don't like him. And I you know, I'm speaking for
(37:56):
myself here, I don't I'm not going to say that
you don't like him. But a federal judge has ruled
that Donald Trump's name was illegally added to the Kennedy
Center and has blocked the administration from closing the cultural
and arts venue for major renovations. And he seems to
actually be listening to this. Interior Secretary Doug Bergham would
(38:21):
not commit to actually taking his name off. But you know,
Trump responded by blaming the ruling on Cooper's wife. He
always finds it way to blame a woman who.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Is a part.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Who's a partner at the law firm representing Joe Biden
in his lawsuit against the Justice Department.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
But it does.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
It does feel like we're leaning on these pyrrhic victories,
which are aren't even victories.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
This is like a.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Crazy bizarre like I'm of all the things to stand
on business he.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Got his Ryan we got is at.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Least consequential thing, Like, yeah, all I can think is
that Tyler the creator mean where he's.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Like, oh, okay, right, that's it. That's all.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Okay, That's that's all I got for this, Thanks Judge.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Yeah, I just I still don't trust that things are
going to be as bad for Republicans in the mid
terms as we all think. Like his approval rating has
always been lower than it shows up as in the polls.
He's like still showing his political might in Republican primary specifically,
but you know, he people do show up for him,
(39:39):
and he.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Does have this locked in base.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
But I feel like, like you have your reds and
your blues, the purples, Yeah, the people who like where
we at, because I feel like people who are in
the middle will if they get confused or stressed out,
they will fall to rid most of the time.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Right does seem to be the way the country goes generally,
and the.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Way he has dicked all everybody up and down. It's
like I have to imagine that a lot of those
people who would have fallen to the right a couple
of years ago are going to fall to the left
this time and just keep their mouths shut about it.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Yeah, because he's a dream.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Because the energy is definitely it feels different when I
go online and I see how people like the language
people are using, Like I feel like we're in that
phase where like people a lot of people have sort
of changed their mind or on their way to doing that,
and they just it's just like such an l to
(40:43):
have been on that side that you can't really no
one wants to hear your story about how you're coming around.
Like right, that's another energy. I'm seeing a lot of
of like, you know, if you if you voted for
Trump and now you feel like you've made a mistake,
you're not fully you're not fully made it, then like yeah,
(41:06):
like there's a lot of people who don't want to
hear your your bullshit. But also it's still like that's
a little bit of movement, I feel like, because a
lot of people feel, I don't know how you got fooled,
but they feel like they've been fooled and they have,
and they some people are coming around, and I'm just
curious to say, like, how, how which way people are
(41:29):
going to fall now that they at least some more
people can see that he's completely self interested. He doesn't,
he doesn't have a constituency as cult members, I.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
Guess, and we are seeing them the Democrats win special elections.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
I guess.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
The thing that's making me nervous personally is that the
Democrats are already doing enough failed to offer up a
coherent alternative.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
No, because they never will, But like I think, I
think just that energy is like.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
No, knowing that you've been lied to can change your behavior.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
And no, the Democrats aren't offering like they're.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
Not bringing people over to the blue side, like the
red side is knocking people over.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
So it's just, yeah, it's it's a weird spot to be.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
In, like it is the US in general, weird spot
to be in. And that might be why Peter Teel
is fleeing the United States to go to Argentina. A
choice by him, What a choice by him? What a
surprise some of his favorite people fled to Argentina.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
I was literally just I was talking about Argentina the
other day because I was telling my partner about, like
she's unaware that a lot of Nazis ran off to Argentina,
And there was an article from twenty twenty five where
like a bunch of boxes of Nazi journals and memorabilia
(43:03):
was found in the basement of the Supreme.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
Court of Argentina.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
Yes, yeah, where it's just they're like, oh, how this
git there is, like you put it there and forgot
about it, Like what the fuck.
Speaker 3 (43:18):
Not only were they like welcoming them in, they were like,
you need us to hold on to anything for you.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
Yeah, that's not where you want to find Nazi memorabilia
in the basement of the Supreme Court of any.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
Country they had a favorable anti extradition treaty or you know,
extra anti extraditional laws at the time, and so that's
why the Nazis fled there.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
Any United States those as well.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
Yeah, So the United States we just like put them
into our science program.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
We just we just created NASA to employ We're good here, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
But it's just a little you know, all billionaires, We've
talked about this for years now, that all these billionaires
are looking to diversify their portfolio of places to be
when the ship that they're doing to us eventually cripples civilization.
And you know, it's it's been largely like New Zealand,
(44:18):
but Argentina is starting to kick up as a as
a popular destination for for these people for for some reason.
I mean, some people are I don't think they have
the same extradition laws on the books anymore, but some
people are pointing out that it could withstand Like if
(44:38):
the US is you know, completely taken out by a
nuclear attack, Argentina is like far enough away that they
would be mostly fine.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
For Yeah, they're the like the southern tip of Argentina
I've always heard is one of those places on Earth
that like you look up to this stupid listical and
it's like.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
Five places that are safe from US places to be.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Nuclear fallout, and it's always like New Zealand and like
the southern tip of Argentina or like Antarctica or some
shit like that, and.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
Yeah, yeah, no, that's a look.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
If if that's what he sees coming, and that's the
movies made, he's made a good move.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
That's that's where I would go, to be fair.
Speaker 3 (45:20):
He also sees the anti Christ coming and like that
is the That's not just a thing he said in
an interview. It's a thing that he has been delivering
lectures on for years now. So it's probably the thing
that he believes in the most of anyone.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
So I think.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
I don't know that we can fully trust his paranoia detector.
But he seems to be he seems to be gambling,
but things are bad and he's not.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
Even a paranoia detector. It's like, this motherfucker is the
Antichrist on tour. Yeah, it's just like so I'm like,
I like, I had.
Speaker 3 (45:58):
Some more tickets paranoia.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
I just need to trust that if the Antichrist was real,
he would look like Peter Teal and that rhymes.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Jack admit that it rhymes. I will admit that it rhymes.
Speaker 3 (46:10):
If the Antichrist is real, he would look like Peter
Teal And therefore you must bars Bars cochrane esque Cochronian chronian.
What else we're going to talk about the concert celebrating
America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday and the fact that
they can't get anyone on tomorrow's episode.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
Uh, what a music news we got?
Speaker 3 (46:35):
We got Morgan Whalen, who Morgan falen a got his ass. Man,
How's how's he going to recover from that? I don't
know what's going on. Like he's doing a concert in
shorts and tea, and uh, he gets mad because the
piano is not sounding right to him and he the
(46:58):
thing that went virals people being like Morgan well and
flips his piano and that sounds crazy. That sounds like
he's hulking out. But if you watch the if you
watch the clip, he just like it's a stand up piano.
It's not like a baby grand or something.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
It's if you want to see somebody.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
I feel like Elton John had some fucking freak outs
where he he flipped some crazy pianos on stage. Oh really,
there's like a couple of there's a couple of epic
I can't remember all my piano men, but I've seen
some epic piano flips on stage and I don't I
didn't even know Morgan Walland played an instrument other than uh.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
That might be gration. He sat down at the piano
and was like, I don't know how to do anyways.
He just put he just pushes it over. It's a
it's a top heavy one of one of those ones
that's just standing up. And then presumably when Uh finished
the song a capella and went to God's Country, went
(47:59):
back to God's Country, man, they actually had a good
Morgan Whalen joke. And the last culture is just cultural Awards,
which that should have been my underrated The last culture
is just cultural awards tapes. This weekend, I got to
go and shit is so funny. Did you watch that
last year when it came out on Bravo. It's like
(48:20):
it really gives like early Conan vibes, like the it's
just very surreal, and you know, it has like very
funny pop cultural commentary and you know, stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
But it's just so well written. I couldn't recommend it enough.
I'll check it out.
Speaker 3 (48:38):
Check it out. June seventeenth, y'all. That is going to
do it for us. On this Monday, June first, we
are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
We had a Bob Dylan iconograph man this morning. It
was a lot of fun. So you can go check
(48:58):
that out. Vampire often the vibes Vampire, that's right, is permeable.
This is what I kept saying. But yeah, he just
steals like the Thomas Stone, an artistic pumice stone. Brian,
where can people find you?
Speaker 1 (49:15):
Follow you?
Speaker 2 (49:16):
Uh, you can find me living in the real world.
Speaker 1 (49:20):
Everybody try ahead of the US. Pretty, it's pretty sick.
It seems nice, nice sun and sky stuff like that.
It's great.
Speaker 3 (49:27):
What about any of that right that is going to
do it? We are back tomorrow with the whole last
episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other,
be kind to yourself, get your vaccines where you still
can get you flu shots.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
You don't do nothing.
Speaker 3 (49:42):
About white supremacy, and we will talk to you all
tomorrow by The.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
Daily sit Guys is executive produced by Catherine Law, co
produced by bae Wayg, co produced by Victor Wright.
Speaker 2 (49:54):
Co written by j M McNab, and edited and engineered
by Brian Jeffries. I never got your Factor.
I really liked that line.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
They caught me lack in early morning, pour an almond
milk into my honey smacks, crash the rented Hyundai.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
I feel like Kanye.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
It's just like he's really he's really nice. Yeah, this
is stove God, stove got cooks. Stove got cooks.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I love the specificity. He's not just having a bowl
of cereal. He's having a bowl of honey smacks, and
he's doing it with almond milk, which the fact that
he cooks, I got a second guess is culinary decision there.
Almond milk is so is the worst milk to put
on your cereal? In my humble opinion.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's it's the worst milk in I think every conceivable
way like that. I used to I used to work
at a cafe where we had to make our own
almond milk. The amount of work you have to do
to make almond milk palatable at all.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Down the process milk.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
It's team right, It's like an hour long process of
actual labor, and then you have to let the ship
sit for hours. And that's that's presumably like the good
almond milk, the almond milk that I generally keep in
our house where we're a lactose intolerant household is.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Pretty stomach We get stomach aches in this house.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I have a stomach ache right now. I'm feeling like
I'm feeling like stepped on ship, Brian. But I'm here
and I'm ready to tell doing it for you that
gang the Yeah, I guess this could be a cold open.
The the milk, like almond milk is so watery. That's
like my kids have at this point. They get me
(01:50):
the get me my lactap pills, old man, because it
is lactose free milk, not because down here it's we
just burned through it real fast. Okay, you know what
I mean, Like we're not. I feel weird about being
the type of household that has three gallons of milk of.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Of cow milk in the in the fridge.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
But ye, but you got like kids and stuff. Yeah,
and they like that's their fuel. It is, it's all
they it's all They're on a pure milk. They're both
lactose intolerant on a pure milk diet, like Mussolini. And
that's something that I feel like ghost Face could put
in his song something about Mussolini. Being on a pure
(02:34):
milk diet.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, No, that's definitely. That's definitely is the word.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I feel like he would. I just want to hear
what are we doing. I'm sure he's got a Mussolini line.
Hold on, he's got to have one. No, I don't
think so. Mussolini line ghost faces? What my night with

a chance that we're looking back on almond milk in
a decade.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Being like, what the fuck were we? What were we doing?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
You know?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, the juice is literally not worth the squeeze. That's right.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this week trend edition of.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Daily Night Guys.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Uh ow ow ow, what's the production of My Heart Radio?

We also let you get to know us a little,
but we're doing a little overrated, underrated.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
It gets too real on this episode, Miles had to bail.
He was like, I can't. I can't deal with how
real it gets when we're doing.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
It's me, Brian the Editor, and literally no one else
was available today.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
That's not true, that's not true.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
First choice, but yeah, Miles is missing. He was last
seeing in this place called Chumley and that is not
spelled how you think it is.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
I don't even I don't even have a fucking guess,
to be honest with you. Anyways, I feel like shit,
but we're we're going to get into it. It's the
day for election day, so go vote. Please not for
Spencer Pratt if you're in the LA area, would be
my hope and dream for.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
You and us. Otherwise, I don't know. I just go
to the DSA website. I'm like, who I vote for?
I don't know. I don't have fucking time for this.
That's terrible.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I don't have time like I've voted in like thirty
eight elections. Man, I was just like, I don't have
the time to do residential elections.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah no, no, I.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Voted in thirty eight, Like you know the ballot that
I turned in yesterday.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
So you're two hundred and seven years old. Okay, all right,
yeah yeah yeah cool.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Cool.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Anyways, so we kick off doing our own underrated overrated Brian,
you want.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
To kick us off? You want me to start us
off with some things we think are underrated. I think
I think I'm prepared this morning Dealer's choice.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Uh so my underrated I have here how deadly house
cats are. So I woke up to humans, no, just
to just to life. I woke up on Sunday morning
to get a package from the door. My entire living
(06:23):
room is covered in feathers. The thing is, we live
in a third story unit in an apartment building with
no access to the outside. So my my cat managed
to catch a bird from the terrace somehow how, like
(06:43):
it's the what, and he just absolutely destroyed this thing.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
In the living room.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It was like it looked it looked like a pillow exploded.
Like there's just feathers everywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Now, I've never killed a bird. Are they feathers on
the inside too?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Broankfully, Thankfully, mister man is not the His style is
not to start ripping pieces off of the bird. He
just sort of puts it in his mouth and crushes it.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, he shakes it around.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, And he's just he's the sweetest little guy, just
a cuddle monster until you put him in the front
in front of a bird or a rat or something,
and then he just cannot help himself.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Have you seen those videos of like the centipedes on
the cave ceilings that come down and like catch bats
and eat them.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
I have seen clips of this.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
That's how I'm picturing him getting the bird. He's like
on the window like sort of suspending himself like I'm
cruise mission impossible.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Because birds don't really come on. Our terrace is covered.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
And there's only there's a lot of plants and stuff,
so it's not a lot of space for a bird
to get in.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
And I just I have no idea how he caught this. Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
But yeah, they're they're insanely uh efficient murderers.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
They are bred for it, you know. They they were
designed to catch rats. I think that was like dogs
were designed to be little companions who make us feel
good and like our are our buddies, and cats are
are hired are whatever about dogs? The spirit takes over me?
(08:35):
And cats are are hired killers you know?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yea, So my partners from New Zealand and they they
are such an invasive species over there that like people
hunt pyial cats. Yeah, because they kill all of the big, fat, delicious,
flightless birds that they have over there.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
It's a disaster.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
No, yeah, they I mean I remember this study that
I think we wrote about a cracked and we've covered
before on this show. But the like a a single
outdoor cat will affect the ecosystem in a neighborhood just
from the number of birds that it kills. It will
affect bird populations. Yeah, all right, great underrated, Brian, my
(09:23):
underrated I got. I got a handful of like dumb
dumb ones for underrated.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Overrated.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
So my underrated ads spokespersons who are not Jim from
the office.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
He is. Have you been watching the NBA playoffs, by
the way, shout out Wimby.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
No, But I've heard about his voiceover work and I
can see the place like he's just his voice from
the office.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
He's got, he's got. He nails that thing that.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
A lot of advertisers look for where you're like, you've
got this affability and like relatability that you've baked into
your voice.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
And the whiteness, of course, yes, oh the whitest. He
loves and respects. The CIA is the thing about him
that I've not I've yet to be able to get over.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
You can't get access unless you play ball, you know.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
And he is Jack Ryan. Are you a Krasinski apologist?
I feel like you're You're.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Like, hey man, he's just here trying to make a living.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Look, it's your underrated bro. Why are you asking me questions?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
First of all, amazing weekend for the NBA Playoffs and Knicks.
It's Spurs and Knicks. Wembingyama defeated the defending champions Wembyama
and like the youngest team to make it to the
Western Conference Finals or any conference finals since nineteen seventy
(10:47):
seven since my grandfather was coaching the Trailblazers. They ended
up winning the championship with Bill Walton and a bunch
of young people and the Spurs. The Spurs are looking good.
The Knicks are looking good. It's a very it's a
very fun NBA Finals that we have, Like I might
have to pop.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
To Twin Peaks and check out a few of these games. Yeah,
you might eating a massive tray of nachos. But anyways,
when you do watch you you will be greeted by
a lot of There's there's a John krasinskiad where he's
like driving a car and he's like, God, this car
is so sick. It makes me feel like I'm in
a movie.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
And then he's like being chased by uh, you know,
motorcyclists and killing them without thinking too much.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
About like like he would.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
And then there's another one where he's like with Steve
Carell and it's just like the premises these people are
best friends.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
You know that.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
That's a whole genre of ads where they're like they
just find three random celebrities and are like, these people
would be best would be fun to be best friends.
And this makes me just like Steve Carell less. The
idea of him hanging out with Jim from the office.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, like, what what do they get up to? What
would they get up to if they were actually friends?
Because I don't buy it.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Steve Carell smells various coffees and tells you where they're from.
And then really he's like a he's a Q grader
or something. That's right, wow, in the in the world
of the ad. And my pitch is, why stop at
the ad, Let's make this an entire cinematic universe. Anyways,
that that's just a brief one. My other is just
(12:28):
I saw a bus ad and I just want to
encourage people who are naming things, who are writing copy,
to just think about what your pun communicates. If anyway,
I saw a bus ad for a lawyer and the
copy was just Las Angelus, and I don't know what
(12:50):
that means, Like I like, I get it theoretically, it's like, yeah,
you're the law person because you're a lawyer. But it's all.
It's all so it's not related to that. That's not
the name of the firm, and it doesn't say I
don't know if you're a defense or a prosecution, and
it just.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Since it's on a bus, you can you can probably
that this is for like, you know, injury, it's an
ambulance chaser.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I guess it's just I don't know.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I guess it was just sitting right there and they
couldn't resist. My favorite example of this is the sushi
place by where I first moved when I came to
La on the West Side, that was called Miso Fishy
like Miso Soho sake. It's a complex punt with you know, references,
(13:45):
manages to cramp two of the foods in that you're selling.
So I see why they were excited about it, but
it's a complete nightmare. It says your fish restaurant smells
bad and then connects that bad smell to sex somehow.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
That that lawyer pun is in my mind, that's on
the level of like like a mom and pop pet
shop that has pause in the Yeah, it's just like,
what are we even doing here?
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Okay, Like pause Angelus would be good.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Yeah, pause angelists is something about Lausse Angelus for a lawyer,
just like seems.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
So it knocks you down a few pigs. It seems
so useless.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
It's just like it's not communicating anything, it's not saying
anything whatsoever. But yeah, me, so Fishy will always be
the queen.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
It's like me.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
But it's like a doctor having a cute name or
something like coming with cut.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
It's like you don't need to do that. Bro, you
don't need to do that.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, all right, what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Brian, So I came across this some of across this article,
uh like last week.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Titled It's at the time. Is that why you stumbled?
Speaker 3 (15:02):
Uh you said you stumbled across the article.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
I was just oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, No,
I always drink. I'll drinking now.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
It's from this website called slash film and the title
of the article is many the Pit fans are proving
that yes, it's possible to be bad at watching a
TV show. And that caught my interests. I wanted to
see like what the what the writer's angle was. And
it's sort of touched on something that I keep noticing,
(15:35):
and it's that fandoms a are weird, and two that
a lot of fandoms will approach the media they like,
like TV show or whatever.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Music. They'll approach it like it's a puzzle box to be.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Solved, and it's so weird and funny, and it's like
they're people. I don't know if you've seen The Pit,
but people are doing it with the Pit, which is
in my view, it's the most straightforward show on TV.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
There's no mystery tost Yeah, it's.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Crazy and people have all these I'm not going to
get into the meat of the article because there's probably spoilers,
but people are people are really stretching. They're stretching like
they are in Pilate's class. And I also noticed this
with like Boards of Canada just released their first new
(16:32):
album in thirteen years, and their music I don't know
if you listen to them, but their music deal it's
like electronic, very very spacious and hazy and stuff like that.
And their music deals with themes of like religion and
science and math and stuff like that, a lot of
subjects that are.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Kind of cryptic on their own.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, but the fandom approaches literally everything they do like
it is a puzzle to be solved, and it's it's
so frustrating because I don't see how you can enjoy
things when you're you have your analytical brain on with
the red string trying to connect things that aren't actually connected.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
So, yeah, we're bad at the and have been for
some time. I feel like like there there's been weird
conspiracies that like the Beatles were hiding messages in their
music that said that they had actually like killed and
replaced Paul.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
I think it was.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
But yeah, we're like when you look at something for
long enough, And I'm definitely guilty of spending too much
time thinking about things and coming with things.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
But I can't.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
I don't treat every like thing that I like as
like because the pit is the most wild to me
because people are coming up with these theories that are
just like is it.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
Theories as to like what is going to happen? Like
a twist that's coming.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Sort of, but it's more that they're trying to tie
more things together than was ever intended, like of because
you know, it takes place in almost entirely in an er.
It doesn't follow characters home or anything. So people come
and go just like they would in an er, and
(18:25):
sometimes you just never see those people again because who
needs to be at the hospital that often? But like
there's like events that happen in the show that you know,
somebody comes into the ear, they leave, and then people
start postulating on things that happen off screen that are
(18:46):
highly improbable if you think about them for one second.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
In our band writing, and this is.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
What it almost sets expectations in their head of like,
well if this doesn't happen, then it's like and it's
just like just watch the show.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Just yeah. I feel like the sometimes they nail it, sometimes.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
They hit it out of the park, and the the
fan theory they come up with is better than what
the writers of the actual show come up with. So
I'm just saying, have some self respect as a fandom,
and like have have your little you know, discord where
you're all you know, they can't all be winners, but
like you have your little discord where you're brainstorming and
(19:29):
then you only bring it out to share with us
when you've got some good shit.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
But like, you know, you know how.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Like football teams in the UK, like their fandom is
organized and has like some self respect and like write
songs and then debuts those songs at games.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
And stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Like I feel like having some self respect among and
like some organization among a fandom. And if you're going
to do this sort of thing, you know, don't don't
don't share with the world and until you until you
actually crack it, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
And also like if you make, if you make shows
and your online please don't try and like preempt like
fan predictions and don't change your vision just because someone
on a forum might have gotten close to figuring out.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
What you're going to. That has happened, right, well, that happens,
and please don't do that.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Couldn't do that good idea, that was our idea all
along because somebody guessed it.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
I suspect that.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
Is what happened to the last several seasons of Game
of Thrones, Like I think that benning Off and Weiss
were online or had online people in their ear, like, yo.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Bro, they've fucking figured it out. The fuck are you
gonna do?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, because they the ending they went with was just like, well,
you couldn't have guessed this because it's completely random.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
It's completely random and we didn't set it up at all. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
I think that there's something about fandoms that like want
to believe that the creators are paying attention, like reading,
but there are there is evidence that that goes along.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Like even the NBA, like people say Adam Silver is.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Like chronically online and just like bathing in the stream
of the discord the NBA discourse like on a daily
basis and like trying to react to the opinion on
like NBA Twitter.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Which can't be healthy because his name does come up.
I know. Anyway, what do you think is overrated?
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Let's see, I'm just on election stuff. I would say
mailers for elections, they're still oh, Brian, they have doubled down.
They have doubled all the way down to the bottom.
I this can't be working at all, like even even
(21:54):
once can't. Like someone gets a stack of like sixteen
different tradictory election ads and they just like use they
use that to make their decision. Has that ever happened, like,
because it's just it. It does seem like it must
be a sort of the Red Queen effect where you
(22:14):
have to like run faster and faster just to stay
where you are where.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
It's just like everybody's doing this.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
So if you're not doing it, then you're losing ground
by not doing anything.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
I mean, i'd imagine they're losing ground with very specific demographics,
very very old people. But like I thought we were
trying to save trees and shit, I thought that post
office was sucked up.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
They're like they have that, They're they're focusing on killing
trees with extreme prejudice. It would seem to me, Yeah,
the number the number of mailers in the Los Angeles
area right now is truly.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
I've ever opened one.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Oh they know that, and it's postcard status. They're they're
giving you big shiny one sheets. Yeah they should. They
should like put a little like approved for the black
card and then it's like the black card to vote
for Nythia Rahmen to trick people. But yeah, and then
(23:23):
the other thing that I'm getting kind of inundated with
is is texts, which I guess they've they've moved on
to kind of knowing how people actually communicate these days.
It just makes me dislike you. But it's as they've
just completely ruined on.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
It's done cooked.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
But the thing that I specifically think is overrated is
the delete and Report spam function on my phone because
every time I do it seems to be reporting spam
to someone who thinks I like spam, because it's just
like it keeps coming more and faster. When I report it,
(24:06):
it's just like, yeah, this guy fucking loves it.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Oh he got another one. He seems to really like.
The button is delete and report for more spam exactly
report how much you love it?
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Anyways, don't do that please or fix the deleteam.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Dude, you got any more? I'm gonna actually send you
some good ones. Uh.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
I know, I know you're not a fan, but I
feel like they've really stepped their game up. Let's take
a quick break and we'll be back to talk about
some news.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
We'll be right back. And we're back.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
And with America going deeper into war and no end
in sight for the negotiation of a peace by wildly
incompetent administration that we currently have running our country, I
feel like it's time to talk about the weekend box
office right off the bat. Oh yeah, hell yes, because
(25:14):
this is this feels like a monumental shift. The number
one movie at the box office this weekend was a
little movie called back Rooms, which I think we mentioned
on the show last week. It's like a It's it's
based on a YouTube series in a way that I
(25:35):
don't think I've seen a movie based on a YouTube
series quite this directly.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
But it's like, no, the only direct you've really liking
it too in recent years is maybe like the slender
Man movies.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
But the slender Man movies did not make an eighty
one million dollars.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
In North America, and I think like a twenty million
budget something like that.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
Oh yeah, Like there's no chance they gave this YouTube
director over twenty million dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Twenty years old, by the way.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Yeah, super young. This is this is like what we've been.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Waiting for.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
This We've been talking about, like how the death of
Hollywood and the death of movies has been talked about
for years and years and years, and it's all based
around this idea that we're going to keep making only
blockbusters like that. So back Rooms destroyed Week two of
(26:36):
The Mandalorian and Grogu Grow The Mandalorian and Grogu dropped
seventy percent.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yeah, in its second week. It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
It's cratering. And it didn't do that well in the
first place.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Like it got Like there's a movie, another movie that
came out.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I don't know what it's about.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
It's called Obsession, but it came out the week before
Mandalorian and Grogu.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Obsession is also a YouTube or director. Yeah, and I hear.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
It's really good and it came out the week before,
and then Mandalorian and Grogu dropped and Obsessions still beat
it like it it actually went up the following week
and Grogu went down.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Yeah, yeah, so Grogu dropped seventy percent, and obsession keeps
going up week over week, which is like a thing
that never happens. It's always like very front loaded because
that's just how Hollywood like spends.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
The marketing dollars. They try and get everybody like to
the theater on the first weekend.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
But when you have an actual like I remember this
happened with like Titanic and The Hangover and shit, where
like it's a movie that like people just the word
of mouth is so crazy strong that it just like
goes up and up and up. And this is once
again a director who came from like online and is
(27:52):
doing fucking great and it's supposed to be really good.
But like at a certain point the studios are going
to you know, be making bullshit and then new groundbreaking
ship will invent itself presumably online. You know, like that
is it makes sense that that's where it would be.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Yeah, there's something that this very heavily reminds me of,
just sort of in spirit of just sort of how
exciting it is is actually your friend Jason Pargin, Because
my friends were huge fans of his work way back
in the day when it was just like like web
episodes or like he would put out chapters online and
(28:37):
then that turned into one of the guys at the end.
Speaker 3 (28:39):
Yeah, he started publishing a book in a fort like
just as he So a lot of Cracked derived its
like energy and power from Jason was created a forum
that was called Pointless Waste of Time that we then
like made forum for the back end of Cracked, but
like just fucking around with his friends at Pointless Waste
(29:03):
of Time, he like started writing a horror novel that
became like a massive kind of underground hit in the community,
you know, just like not he wasn't like publishing it anywhere.
He was just publishing it in threads like for his friends.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, and like watching that, watching my friends.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Read that and reading little pieces of it, and then
watching that turn into a novel and then watching that
turn into a movie was so cool to see.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
And that was like the.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
First time I saw like the internet have an effect
on the industry in any meaningful way really, So that
like this is I'm getting this kind of vibe from
back rooms.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Uh yeah, totally it.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
So this the thing that is really unique about it
is it's not like they found a talent on YouTube
and then we're like all right, you make the next
Jurassic Park movie or whatever. They were like, you do
this thing that you made into a nine minute video
on YouTube that has like eight million views, and you
like blow it out into a feature length film. It's
(30:05):
like the exact same aesthetic. It's like kind of the
same premise. It's it's very cool, Like you can go
watch the YouTube videos now they're like very very creepy.
But it's kind of the most one to one adaptation
of a online video into some you know, a feature film,
which is something like Hollywood usually fucks that up, like like.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
The slender Man movie, which was was this big studio
led thing, like I don't think they involved anyone who
sort of helped come up with the lore of slender Man.
I don't even know where it comes from exactly, but
it was not an organic feeling thing that felt like
a genuine expression. It just felt like, Hey, the kids
(30:51):
are talking about slender Man, so let's crank out a movie, right.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Yeah, we were talking about how skibbitty toilet like that
online thing, which is another thing, like very specific weird
aesthetic that people like went crazy for, and the way
that they chose to adapt that was give it to
Michael Beck be like, hey man, what would you do
with this guy who made six Transformers movies? He is
(31:20):
my son's favorite filmmaker, so I can't.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I mean, that's his films are for ultimately, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
But yeah, this is just like a straight up that
I wonder if they'll learn a lesson from this though, Like, oh, so,
like he just did the thing that he does online,
but like with a bigger budget. The have you watched
the back rooms videos like he's I'm familiar.
Speaker 2 (31:50):
I do enjoy backrooms lore and SCP lore, and like,
I just like the idea of like collaborative online world building.
I guess because a lot of the stuff isn't like
strictly like like a hard narrative. It's just like these
scenarios and these sort of building blocks that you work
(32:11):
with of like back Rooms is like liminal spaces and
like spaces that appear to be made for humans, but
something's off like the scale or like can't possibly be
something about it makes sense? Yeah, yeah exactly, And I
like stuff like that, just these weird little vignettes that
(32:35):
people collectively sort of build together.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
I think that's just like a really.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Cool phenomenon that's you only really get on the internet,
and you can't collaboratively, like talking from earlier, you can't
collaboratively make a TV show like you're working on the.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Show like where you can maybe they should be, but.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
Like in the you know, you get in the discord
with your friends and you're like, oh, it'd be cool
if this happened or that happened, and blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
And like that's I feel like this is a good.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Space for that energy of like, yeah, building your own
world instead of trying to project it onto something that
someone else is making. You can sort of take the
building blocks and make your own almost like lego.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Right.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
I do wonder if the people who work in the
studio are in the studios are like getting younger, and
so that's like why we're starting to see them do
this correctly is because you know, like people who are forty,
you know, or like in their thirties, which is like
a lot of studio executives are people who grew up
(33:38):
on the internet. So like I feel like they can't
be I don't know, maybe not. I actually don't know
if Hollywood is like hanging on like doing the thing
other industries are where like everybody's in their seventies, but
I'm sure there's like some young people, some young blood
who are getting in there and actually being like, no,
that would be the wrong stupid don't give this guy
(34:01):
the next Jurassic World movie, Like let him do do
his thing, you know.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Because that's like such a corrosive thing.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
It's like you do you do this genuine expression and
then you get you get tapped to do something that
feels huge, but really all it does is.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Take you out of the game for fucking years. Yeah. Yeah,
and you can't you can't express yourself.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
You're sort of there's you're sort of being like battle
tested for the machine.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
I guess like they're anti art there.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
There's like an impulse like a death Hollywood death drive
that's like yeah, it is like they see make sure
this person doesn't make something cool.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Like they see the light out in like it beyond
the tree line and they're like, oh my god, there's
an artist out there.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
Let's go kill it. Let's go let's go, let's go
kill it.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Like it's just wild, how like it just it's it's
I think it sucks that when you see one of
these cool indie movies like forget an example, but like
you see something someone makes it's their first movie, and
then the next thing they're doing is a Star Wars thing,
and you're like, oh, fuck, Like, I'm not going to
be able to see anything this guy comes up with
(35:12):
for five to seven years because he's going to be
doing this. It's just I do want to really co
opting creativity for their own nefarious purposes.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
I do wonder if this is gonna be a wrap
on Star Wars, like because it's doing so about Probably not.
I think they have too many projects that are like
in the works, but the lesson that they're taking from them,
and they do love to kill projects that they have
in the works.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
I don't think Star Wars is going anywhere, but they're
not moving in a direction that it seems like people
want to want to follow.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
I think everybody loved the TV show that's name is
Escaping Man.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
I mean not the Man and Or and or people
loved and Or people love Skeleton Crew.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I think.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
People did like the Mandalorian and show because it's just
like a goofy little Western It's like gun smoke in
space or some shit. But yeah, no, the movies. I
don't know what the fuck they're doing. I think they yeah,
I think they like you do it.
Speaker 3 (36:13):
It never works out that well when you do a
episodic TV show and then you're like, and here's the
movie and it's just another episode of the TV show.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Like people are just like hearing is like, is like
four episodes stapled together.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Yeah, it's like the Simpsons movie was a lot of fun,
but like it also, you know, I don't think that
that is just like a natural transition, Like it's not
something that like I feel like everyone was like, we
needed this the one thing we've always wanted that they
can't do on TV show. Us Bart's dick, you know,
(36:49):
crazy crazy plot to that movie, which fucked up Stephen
King because he was writing basically a plot where a
town was put under a glass dome.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
As that movie came out, Oh oh yeah it did happen,
He's like.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Dope, all right, let's uh, let's take a quick break.
We'll come back, we'll talk about hard news. We'll be
right back, and we're bad. We're back and we are back.
(37:24):
What's going on with Donald Trump said he want to
be on two hundred and fifty dollars bill, which is
like kind of funny, like Trump being Trump.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
He is, why not making five hundred bro.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Yeah, it's causing the deaths of many, many people by
pulling the war and Iran and starting it in the
first place. Less funny, still Trump being Trump. There's a
headline that caught my attention because it really feels, really
feels like we're grasping at straws here as people who
don't like him. And I you know, I'm speaking for
(37:56):
myself here, I don't I'm not going to say that
you don't like him. But a federal judge has ruled
that Donald Trump's name was illegally added to the Kennedy
Center and has blocked the administration from closing the cultural
and arts venue for major renovations. And he seems to
actually be listening to this. Interior Secretary Doug Bergham would
(38:21):
not commit to actually taking his name off. But you know,
Trump responded by blaming the ruling on Cooper's wife. He
always finds it way to blame a woman who.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
Is a part.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
Who's a partner at the law firm representing Joe Biden
in his lawsuit against the Justice Department.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
But it does.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
It does feel like we're leaning on these pyrrhic victories,
which are aren't even victories.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
This is like a.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Crazy bizarre like I'm of all the things to stand
on business he.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Got his Ryan we got is at.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Least consequential thing, Like, yeah, all I can think is
that Tyler the creator mean where he's.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Like, oh, okay, right, that's it. That's all.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Okay, That's that's all I got for this, Thanks Judge.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Yeah, I just I still don't trust that things are
going to be as bad for Republicans in the mid
terms as we all think. Like his approval rating has
always been lower than it shows up as in the polls.
He's like still showing his political might in Republican primary specifically,
but you know, he people do show up for him,
(39:39):
and he.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
Does have this locked in base.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
But I feel like, like you have your reds and
your blues, the purples, Yeah, the people who like where
we at, because I feel like people who are in
the middle will if they get confused or stressed out,
they will fall to rid most of the time.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Right does seem to be the way the country goes generally,
and the.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Way he has dicked all everybody up and down. It's
like I have to imagine that a lot of those
people who would have fallen to the right a couple
of years ago are going to fall to the left
this time and just keep their mouths shut about it.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Yeah, because he's a dream.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Because the energy is definitely it feels different when I
go online and I see how people like the language
people are using, Like I feel like we're in that
phase where like people a lot of people have sort
of changed their mind or on their way to doing that,
and they just it's just like such an l to
(40:43):
have been on that side that you can't really no
one wants to hear your story about how you're coming around.
Like right, that's another energy. I'm seeing a lot of
of like, you know, if you if you voted for
Trump and now you feel like you've made a mistake,
you're not fully you're not fully made it, then like yeah,
(41:06):
like there's a lot of people who don't want to
hear your your bullshit. But also it's still like that's
a little bit of movement, I feel like, because a
lot of people feel, I don't know how you got fooled,
but they feel like they've been fooled and they have,
and they some people are coming around, and I'm just
curious to say, like, how, how which way people are
(41:29):
going to fall now that they at least some more
people can see that he's completely self interested. He doesn't,
he doesn't have a constituency as cult members, I.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
Guess, and we are seeing them the Democrats win special elections.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
I guess.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
The thing that's making me nervous personally is that the
Democrats are already doing enough failed to offer up a
coherent alternative.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
No, because they never will, But like I think, I
think just that energy is like.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
No, knowing that you've been lied to can change your behavior.
Speaker 1 (42:05):
And no, the Democrats aren't offering like they're.
Speaker 2 (42:08):
Not bringing people over to the blue side, like the
red side is knocking people over.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
So it's just, yeah, it's it's a weird spot to be.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
In, like it is the US in general, weird spot
to be in. And that might be why Peter Teel
is fleeing the United States to go to Argentina. A
choice by him, What a choice by him? What a
surprise some of his favorite people fled to Argentina.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
I was literally just I was talking about Argentina the
other day because I was telling my partner about, like
she's unaware that a lot of Nazis ran off to Argentina,
And there was an article from twenty twenty five where
like a bunch of boxes of Nazi journals and memorabilia
(43:03):
was found in the basement of the Supreme.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
Court of Argentina.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
Yes, yeah, where it's just they're like, oh, how this
git there is, like you put it there and forgot
about it, Like what the fuck.
Speaker 3 (43:18):
Not only were they like welcoming them in, they were like,
you need us to hold on to anything for you.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
Yeah, that's not where you want to find Nazi memorabilia
in the basement of the Supreme Court of any.
Speaker 3 (43:29):
Country they had a favorable anti extradition treaty or you know,
extra anti extraditional laws at the time, and so that's
why the Nazis fled there.
Speaker 1 (43:42):
Any United States those as well.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
Yeah, So the United States we just like put them
into our science program.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
We just we just created NASA to employ We're good here, Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
But it's just a little you know, all billionaires, We've
talked about this for years now, that all these billionaires
are looking to diversify their portfolio of places to be
when the ship that they're doing to us eventually cripples civilization.
And you know, it's it's been largely like New Zealand,
(44:18):
but Argentina is starting to kick up as a as
a popular destination for for these people for for some reason.
I mean, some people are I don't think they have
the same extradition laws on the books anymore, but some
people are pointing out that it could withstand Like if
(44:38):
the US is you know, completely taken out by a
nuclear attack, Argentina is like far enough away that they
would be mostly fine.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
For Yeah, they're the like the southern tip of Argentina
I've always heard is one of those places on Earth
that like you look up to this stupid listical and
it's like.
Speaker 1 (44:56):
Five places that are safe from US places to be.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
Nuclear fallout, and it's always like New Zealand and like
the southern tip of Argentina or like Antarctica or some
shit like that, and.
Speaker 1 (45:07):
Yeah, yeah, no, that's a look.
Speaker 2 (45:10):
If if that's what he sees coming, and that's the
movies made, he's made a good move.
Speaker 1 (45:17):
That's that's where I would go, to be fair.
Speaker 3 (45:20):
He also sees the anti Christ coming and like that
is the That's not just a thing he said in
an interview. It's a thing that he has been delivering
lectures on for years now. So it's probably the thing
that he believes in the most of anyone.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
So I think.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
I don't know that we can fully trust his paranoia detector.
But he seems to be he seems to be gambling,
but things are bad and he's not.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
Even a paranoia detector. It's like, this motherfucker is the
Antichrist on tour. Yeah, it's just like so I'm like,
I like, I had.
Speaker 3 (45:58):
Some more tickets paranoia.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
I just need to trust that if the Antichrist was real,
he would look like Peter Teal and that rhymes.
Speaker 1 (46:07):
Jack admit that it rhymes. I will admit that it rhymes.
Speaker 3 (46:10):
If the Antichrist is real, he would look like Peter
Teal And therefore you must bars Bars cochrane esque Cochronian chronian.
What else we're going to talk about the concert celebrating
America's two hundred and fiftieth birthday and the fact that
they can't get anyone on tomorrow's episode.
Speaker 1 (46:32):
Uh, what a music news we got?
Speaker 3 (46:35):
We got Morgan Whalen, who Morgan falen a got his ass. Man,
How's how's he going to recover from that? I don't
know what's going on. Like he's doing a concert in
shorts and tea, and uh, he gets mad because the
piano is not sounding right to him and he the
(46:58):
thing that went virals people being like Morgan well and
flips his piano and that sounds crazy. That sounds like
he's hulking out. But if you watch the if you
watch the clip, he just like it's a stand up piano.
It's not like a baby grand or something.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
It's if you want to see somebody.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
I feel like Elton John had some fucking freak outs
where he he flipped some crazy pianos on stage. Oh really,
there's like a couple of there's a couple of epic
I can't remember all my piano men, but I've seen
some epic piano flips on stage and I don't I
didn't even know Morgan Walland played an instrument other than uh.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
That might be gration. He sat down at the piano
and was like, I don't know how to do anyways.
He just put he just pushes it over. It's a
it's a top heavy one of one of those ones
that's just standing up. And then presumably when Uh finished
the song a capella and went to God's Country, went
(47:59):
back to God's Country, man, they actually had a good
Morgan Whalen joke. And the last culture is just cultural Awards,
which that should have been my underrated The last culture
is just cultural awards tapes. This weekend, I got to
go and shit is so funny. Did you watch that
last year when it came out on Bravo. It's like
(48:20):
it really gives like early Conan vibes, like the it's
just very surreal, and you know, it has like very
funny pop cultural commentary and you know, stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (48:32):
But it's just so well written. I couldn't recommend it enough.
I'll check it out.
Speaker 3 (48:38):
Check it out. June seventeenth, y'all. That is going to
do it for us. On this Monday, June first, we
are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
We had a Bob Dylan iconograph man this morning. It
was a lot of fun. So you can go check
(48:58):
that out. Vampire often the vibes Vampire, that's right, is permeable.
This is what I kept saying. But yeah, he just
steals like the Thomas Stone, an artistic pumice stone. Brian,
where can people find you?
Speaker 1 (49:15):
Follow you?
Speaker 2 (49:16):
Uh, you can find me living in the real world.
Speaker 1 (49:20):
Everybody try ahead of the US. Pretty, it's pretty sick.

It's great.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
