Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Are
You not trying to attained? Uh? I didn't take off
my shirt and uh stand up for that one. Um
that was courtesy of rich On Discord. I am Jack,
that is Miles Miles a miss Miles amiss yes, And
(00:21):
I am what's what's joacum Phoenis? Isn't he bumbs down?
Thumbs down? O'Brien? I feel like, okay, the only people
I can name is Marcus Aurelius was the dad? Is it?
Because like you funked with Marcus Arellus Comedis, That's that's
(00:42):
who he was, Okay? And then there was Proxymo. That's right,
Oliver read Okay, great, done that. Moving on the toxic
man hit of the year two thousand, Gladiator. Yeah, you know,
I was just thinking over the weekend how much Gerard
Butler has I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but
(01:02):
like he just came in and swallowed up Russell Crowe's career,
Like obviously, yeah, this is all the work you'd be
doing if you were still you know, interested and easy
to work with, right and not getting like fistfights all
the time with like random people, right. Yeah? And then
I wondered. Again, I'm sure there's also many pieces too,
(01:23):
but like, how does Gerard Butler think of his own career?
Did you did you think this is where you'd be
Not to say it's bad or whatever, but sometimes when
I think of people like a Scottish actors might not
end up being like an American Secret Service agent five
times a year. Right. I remember reading an article back
(01:46):
when that was the thing I would do, like read
an article that didn't even seem that interesting to me,
but there was just enough free time in my life.
There's an article about him where like the profiler just
like interviewed him at a bar and he was like
having drinks and being Gerward butlery, And I'm pretty sure
(02:07):
they revealed that like he wasn't even an actor really,
he like was just somebody who was like look tanking
around basically like he like it really came to it,
like backed into it by accident. Rpe thing, Hey, we
need to Leonidas. Sound guy, what do you think he's
like holding a boom but he's like ripped because it's like, yeah,
(02:31):
you come on, you're Leonidas. Get him in a hair
and makeup. Put that weird chin got on him. There's
a handful of stories that are like that, where uh,
somebody like goes to a tryout just accompanying their friend
and then they get the role because they're like interesting looking.
That was like in the office, Yeah, Phillis in the
(02:52):
office was like a producer, like a script superse. She
worked at the casting office where they were every day
when they were cast in the show. Alison Jones is like, like,
you know, like the mega comedy cast casting director, like
everyone they produced, Like, we need someone like very normal,
like someone like Pheno Phyllis who works here, and they're like,
what about fucking Phyllis? Yeah, do that. Just reading Gerard
(03:17):
Butler's Wikipedia, it's you're you're right. He started off like
going to law school. Yeah, was fully into law. And
there's this one line that says during his time as
a student, he was the president of the university Law Society,
a position Butler later said he quote kind of blagged
my way into So I think his whole life is
(03:40):
like blagging his way and basically okay like that. He
also sang in a rock band called Speed, so yeah,
he's left. H Yeah, that's just the respect we have
for Gerard Butler have you seen Den of Thieves, Yeah, yeah,
yeah with the Ocean jacksone Yeah yeah, where she was trash.
(04:01):
It was trash, But I like his face is very
Russell Crowe and that he's got very very real Russell Crowe.
I just hated everyone in the movie, like yeah, but
I'm like, they're all fucking big Nick. Yeah, it's just
weird too because it's such weird, like half ass copaganda,
but also like but you know, we're also being you
(04:22):
know but if you look at the cops from that
great I'm like, no, no, no, no, leave this all.
This isn't for me. I want him to be greased
up in a Zack Snyder film. All right, let's talk
about what's actually trending. Uh, we've now that we've talked
about what should be trending, Butler talking about what people
(04:43):
are actually talking about. Mike Lindell is trending. Mike W.
Lindell fucked around, and you'll never guess what happened next
after wait before find out comes after if he found out? Yeah,
he found out? Did indeed? Uh? At one point three
(05:03):
billion dollar lawsuit from the playing they were not You
might remember the moment where he went on Newsmax after
Newsmax had received their billion dollar lawsuit from Dominion. Uh,
and they were like, oh we you know, reacting like
(05:23):
Shaggy and scoob See and a ghost. They were just
like I gotta get out of here, man, like even
even though it wasn't like he literally they cut to
the host of the show and it was an empty
chair like there might have been like speed lines, like
there might as well have been speed lines, like still there.
That was like the that was like one of the
most recent ones, right, because yeah, that was fairly Yeah,
(05:45):
I think it was like it was this month in February,
because he was like also pointing out, He's like, they've
they spooked the Newsmax people because I got all this evidence.
That's the thing they want to threaten me. It's not
because I'm lying, it's because I have all this evidence. Well,
now we will see what evidence you have, sir, because
if you do not, um, your your pillows are our funk,
(06:08):
I don't know what they're what you're gonna what they're
gonna belong to us? Now all your pillows are belonged
to us. Yes, it's gonna be Dominion Pillow Company pretty
soon to me in voting machine until and then you're
gonna be like, oh, you know what they're doing right,
They're putting subliminal messages in there to make you a socialist,
which might be true. But he's still talking about his
chest out like yeah, I was waiting for this. They
(06:30):
walked right into my trap. Um motherfuck are you walked
right into a lawsuit when they kept saying, keep sucking around,
you find out stop unless you have something. If you
have something, then let us know, like to tell the
people otherwise. Uh yeah. His one quote right after like
(06:51):
the the announcement of the the loss you came out quote.
Now I can get to the evidence faster. It's gonna
be amazing. More movies, more documentaries about like election fraud.
Oh shut up full So one thing that uh I
hadn't quite realized because the main story about his uh
(07:11):
sort of going full Q and on was that his
my pillows stopped being carried at bed bath and beyond.
But Um Dominion looked at his sales and apparently my
pillow sales have gone up by thirty to since he
went full mega. So not surprisingly, the Maga the Maga
(07:31):
people are ready to take a nap I mean not
just yeah full maga. Like the codes were like QUA
and on for discounts of put in forty five for
the like all of the discount codes basically indicated he's
part of the big lie and who he was trying
to appeal to. But yeah, I mean, I guess, you know,
(07:54):
maybe maybe the show will be more popular for like,
you know, put an offer code Q and on on
what the funk is going on and sad news daft
punk is breaking up. Oh what a daft move on
their part. Absolutely gut wrenching to hear this. Two people
who I don't know what the funk, who the funk
(08:16):
they even are? How can I even feel anything for
to me? Or too fucking robots who just steal seventies
disco tracks? Speed them up and ask them sense on top. No,
I don't mean to reduce all their work to something
that's sistic, but I mean, you'd be surprised how many
of the melodies, daft punk melodies you like, are just
been like hold on, I like that disco sample, let's
beat it up, chop it up, and now we gotta hit.
(08:38):
But you know, but they're great, they're I mean, their
careers fucking storied. Yeah, they they could have easily. I mean,
my my guests for why they never took off their
mask other than like not being famous was just ugly,
you know that. Or they could have just like farmed
the workout to somebody else and not had to even
(09:00):
like show up in person to anything. Um right, Like
how Hans Zimmer writes scores now for films? How does
he do it? Dude? He just has like a lot
of people do this. They have like very talented interns
and composers that work for them. It's like I'm gonna
just noodle something here and now you work with the
whole film. Now you're like damn. Because I had a
(09:22):
homie who like worked with Hans Zimmer and like like
left and I was like, but that sounds like a
great gig. He's like no, Like everyone just thinks Hans
Zimmer makes everything and like, like I like to play saxophone. Anyways,
Daft Punk keeping it real by actually retiring hanging up
the helmets. Yeah, I didn't realize how active they still were,
(09:45):
but you know, yeah, I mean I know they had
that recent album, but real names Toma Bangal and g Manuel.
Oh really, I didn't even know we knew who they were. Yeah,
so you don't look up some records, show up at
their house and see what they look like. Marrek Garland
is trending. Uh he is Biden's pick for a g
(10:10):
his confirmation little confirmation here, uh going down and uh
anything interesting. I mean he's just saying, like, look, here's
the deal of My first priority is to figure out
what the funk happened on January six. Yeah, he's like,
that's what I'm I'm I'm gonna do that job when
I get in here, I'm gonna figure I need to
(10:33):
fucking put this all out there. And I don't know,
I mean part of me like considering his relate like
other picks we've possibly seen around the Justice Department, like
you know, you like maybe Marrek Garlands, he'll maybe he'll
go full throttle, maybe he'll turn his eye to turn
his eye away on like other issues that maybe deal
j should be concerned with. But in this instance, I'm like, well,
(10:55):
it's the guy who could have been a Supreme Court
justice possibly getting reve in scenario on like the forces
that kept him out of the highest court in the land.
And so yeah, he might have some incentive to figure
it all out. I mean not to say he's just
doing this off the strength of his spite, but yeah,
that's a good fuel to be running. He was like
one of the point people on the Oklahoma City bombing
(11:17):
investigation after that happened, So he has like experience with
right wing extremism in the u S. So, um that
that's a good cover story for the reason that he's
going in and fucking up Moscow. Mitch, Um, No, that'll
be that'll be interesting. Yeah, if he does get confirmed. Um,
(11:39):
seventy sixers are trending. This is very self serving. They're
like the fourteenth trending thing on Google. Yeah, trending all
on ney of his small excuse. But they had kind
of an interesting weekend because embiid put up fifty on
the Bulls. I think on Friday night his line was
(11:59):
like fifth seventeen five assists, four blocks, two steals, like, uh,
just unbelievable numbers. And then uh, last night they played
the Raptors, who are like kind of his kryptonite. He
always um just emotionally, Yeah, I mean, let's not all
that face that face did say at all the Eastern
(12:23):
Conference finals, that was Eastern conference. Was that the conference?
Now that was to go to the Eastern Conference? Oh yeah,
second round. Cannot get out of the second round? Can
you believe that went in? Can you believe that? Um?
But he uh yeah, they went aggressive double team on
him and uh beat the seventies sixers pretty pretty easily,
(12:48):
like they you know, had a nineteen run. I turned
it on just some time to see them like just
make a run, go from twelve down to like six up.
So that is enough for you, That was enough for me.
But uh yeah, I mean I'm sure that's one of
those things that he's a good enough player that I'm
sure he'll figure out a way to get around it. Yeah.
(13:10):
And also like there's a lot of talk that they're
like are they trying to get Kyle Lori? That's another
reason why they gotta the The Sixers are trending to
because apparently like there are those stories like they wanted
Harden and couldn't get it, but they are still looking
for a big name trade to really try and shore
up these chances of a title or you know, a
(13:32):
deep deep deep playoffs. Yeah. Yeah, the Nets beat the
Clippers and looked very good doing it. Soaks the Nets are.
The Nets are like the team that when I'm watching them,
I find myself rooting for them just because it's the
same as like when I watch a Lebron team, I'm
(13:54):
always I've never rooted for the Super Reality because yeah,
because I feel like it was it felt evil and
it also felt like less interesting, Like I think this
is an interesting experiment to have like three of the
best offensive players, but like they also don't defend at all,
(14:15):
and also just like the Nets and like it was
it's just kind of cool. Hell, they went like they
had a year where it was just like, yeah, we're
not doing anything and then like just turned it on,
was hanging out until the next season basically. But yeah,
I feel like the Warriors were interesting enough before they
(14:36):
got Durant, and then once they got Durant, it was
just like all right, But yeah, I do. I do
love Katie, but I was rooting for Lebron because he's
like doing things that nobody's ever seen before. I feel
like this team, like as evidence the Nets as evidence
by the fact that they have the highest offensive rating
in the history of basketball since uh since they came together. Yeah,
(15:01):
but they also have the worst defensive of all time,
Like they're just like the best offensive and the worst
defensive team. Uh is very interesting, right, It's like get imbalanced,
like super Villain where it's like they're so powerful, but
like you know, if you get a near like milk,
they'll die. Yeah, but they can like they can snap
(15:23):
and everyone will die. And you're like, huh, has there
been a superhero or villain whose his like kryptonite was
lactose intolerance? Um? I don't know. I mean, yeah, you know,
I could make some kind of joke based on the
diets of my people, but I don't know. Mhm uh yeah.
(15:44):
It's it is probably culturally biased that that hasn't happened.
I mean, if there is, I would be the most
racist ship, you know what I mean. It's like, oh,
the Black Panthers enemy. Uh, black man who can't eat
cheese and doesn't like swimming pools. It's basically everyone is
lactose intolerant except for the I'm not lactose intolerant. I'm
(16:07):
blessed because Asian people and black people aren't don't have
the best time with cheese. Um, but I don't know
what happened. Shout out to the genetic lottery because I'm
about to eat a whole block of cheese for lunch.
There's a Wired article, Uh that's not trending yet, but
it says that cheese is not as bad for you
as people like to pretend. Uh. Thank you the element
(16:29):
that gives life more than more soils of water. Uh.
And finally, Coca Cola is trending. They introduced revealed a
future wherein they serve their beverages and a paper bottle,
and they showed us what the paper bottle looks like,
(16:50):
and it looks like a muscle milk bottle that they
wrapped in a wet paper towel. Why did they Why
is this what it looks like? I mean, it's because
they were just shamed into it because for like year
after year, people like Coca Cola is the worst polluting
brand on earth. All right, funk, Okay, what about sustainable bottles?
(17:12):
And they're working with this Danish company to make these
bottles that like they do what they say they're gonna do.
But it's just like one of those things where you know,
it's it's the marketing. How do you market this thing?
And even though I'm like on board obviously with reducing
waste of all kinds. I still find myself looking at
the bottom back. Man, I don't want to drink out
(17:33):
of that like some fucking idiot who doesn't have to
look like does it have to be just white and
wrinkly on the outside. It's weird. I mean, I think
maybe this is just a test version for because the
way they're gonna do it is they're gonna first test
this bottle with like a juice company that called Adas
or something that they have in Europe, and so it's
gonna be a hungary so hungarian zight, gang sight gang
(17:58):
let us know when the bottles dropped a summer um
what the funk is like, and then I guess from there,
you know, I'll figure out how to do the rest.
But yeah, yeah, all right, well that is going to
do it for this Monday afternoon. We are back tomorrow
morning with the whole last episode of the show. Until then,
be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, wear
(18:18):
a mask, stay inside, don't do nothing about white supremacy,
and we'll talk to you all tomorrow. Bye bye,
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Are

right wing extremism in the u S. So, um that
that's a good cover story for the reason that he's
going in and fucking up Moscow. Mitch, Um, No, that'll
be that'll be interesting. Yeah, if he does get confirmed. Um,
(11:39):
seventy sixers are trending. This is very self serving. They're
like the fourteenth trending thing on Google. Yeah, trending all
on ney of his small excuse. But they had kind
of an interesting weekend because embiid put up fifty on
the Bulls. I think on Friday night his line was
(11:59):
like fifth seventeen five assists, four blocks, two steals, like, uh,
just unbelievable numbers. And then uh, last night they played
the Raptors, who are like kind of his kryptonite. He
always um just emotionally, Yeah, I mean, let's not all
that face that face did say at all the Eastern
(12:23):
Conference finals, that was Eastern conference. Was that the conference?
Now that was to go to the Eastern Conference? Oh yeah,
second round. Cannot get out of the second round? Can
you believe that went in? Can you believe that? Um?
But he uh yeah, they went aggressive double team on
him and uh beat the seventies sixers pretty pretty easily,
(12:48):
like they you know, had a nineteen run. I turned
it on just some time to see them like just
make a run, go from twelve down to like six up.
So that is enough for you, That was enough for me.
But uh yeah, I mean I'm sure that's one of
those things that he's a good enough player that I'm
sure he'll figure out a way to get around it. Yeah.
(13:10):
And also like there's a lot of talk that they're
like are they trying to get Kyle Lori? That's another
reason why they gotta the The Sixers are trending to
because apparently like there are those stories like they wanted
Harden and couldn't get it, but they are still looking
for a big name trade to really try and shore
up these chances of a title or you know, a
(13:32):
deep deep deep playoffs. Yeah. Yeah, the Nets beat the
Clippers and looked very good doing it. Soaks the Nets are.
The Nets are like the team that when I'm watching them,
I find myself rooting for them just because it's the
same as like when I watch a Lebron team, I'm
(13:54):
always I've never rooted for the Super Reality because yeah,
because I feel like it was it felt evil and
it also felt like less interesting, Like I think this
is an interesting experiment to have like three of the
best offensive players, but like they also don't defend at all,
(14:15):
and also just like the Nets and like it was
it's just kind of cool. Hell, they went like they
had a year where it was just like, yeah, we're
not doing anything and then like just turned it on,
was hanging out until the next season basically. But yeah,
I feel like the Warriors were interesting enough before they
(14:36):
got Durant, and then once they got Durant, it was
just like all right, But yeah, I do. I do
love Katie, but I was rooting for Lebron because he's
like doing things that nobody's ever seen before. I feel
like this team, like as evidence the Nets as evidence
by the fact that they have the highest offensive rating
in the history of basketball since uh since they came together. Yeah,
(15:01):
but they also have the worst defensive of all time,
Like they're just like the best offensive and the worst
defensive team. Uh is very interesting, right, It's like get imbalanced,
like super Villain where it's like they're so powerful, but
like you know, if you get a near like milk,
they'll die. Yeah, but they can like they can snap
(15:23):
and everyone will die. And you're like, huh, has there
been a superhero or villain whose his like kryptonite was
lactose intolerance? Um? I don't know. I mean, yeah, you know,
I could make some kind of joke based on the
diets of my people, but I don't know. Mhm uh yeah.
(15:44):
It's it is probably culturally biased that that hasn't happened.
I mean, if there is, I would be the most
racist ship, you know what I mean. It's like, oh,
the Black Panthers enemy. Uh, black man who can't eat
cheese and doesn't like swimming pools. It's basically everyone is
lactose intolerant except for the I'm not lactose intolerant. I'm
(16:07):
blessed because Asian people and black people aren't don't have
the best time with cheese. Um, but I don't know
what happened. Shout out to the genetic lottery because I'm
about to eat a whole block of cheese for lunch.
There's a Wired article, Uh that's not trending yet, but
it says that cheese is not as bad for you
as people like to pretend. Uh. Thank you the element
(16:29):
that gives life more than more soils of water. Uh.
And finally, Coca Cola is trending. They introduced revealed a
future wherein they serve their beverages and a paper bottle,
and they showed us what the paper bottle looks like,
(16:50):
and it looks like a muscle milk bottle that they
wrapped in a wet paper towel. Why did they Why
is this what it looks like? I mean, it's because
they were just shamed into it because for like year
after year, people like Coca Cola is the worst polluting
brand on earth. All right, funk, Okay, what about sustainable bottles?
(17:12):
And they're working with this Danish company to make these
bottles that like they do what they say they're gonna do.
But it's just like one of those things where you know,
it's it's the marketing. How do you market this thing?
And even though I'm like on board obviously with reducing
waste of all kinds. I still find myself looking at
the bottom back. Man, I don't want to drink out
(17:33):
of that like some fucking idiot who doesn't have to
look like does it have to be just white and
wrinkly on the outside. It's weird. I mean, I think
maybe this is just a test version for because the
way they're gonna do it is they're gonna first test
this bottle with like a juice company that called Adas
or something that they have in Europe, and so it's
gonna be a hungary so hungarian zight, gang sight gang
(17:58):
let us know when the bottles dropped a summer um
what the funk is like, and then I guess from there,
you know, I'll figure out how to do the rest.
But yeah, yeah, all right, well that is going to
do it for this Monday afternoon. We are back tomorrow
morning with the whole last episode of the show. Until then,
be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, wear
(18:18):
a mask, stay inside, don't do nothing about white supremacy,
and we'll talk to you all tomorrow. Bye bye,
