Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up everybody, and welcome to this tour. When I
was it Thursday, February twenty sixth edition of a geist
This tres smell Fite site. Shout out Infinite Jost for
that one. Again. The references to the bit that I
started talking about Kevin Sorbo's improv skills has just created
a life of its own. Anyway. It's me Miles g
(00:22):
in the place to be with the co host with
the mohost and great technical boordability. Please welcome more Burn,
Hello Moore, what's up dudes?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Gayful to be here, what's up? Good to see you.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Ma oh yeah, good to see you too. I was
did you I know you? Look you're an improviser. Did
you know that Kevin Sorbo is also an improviser? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
He was my He was my guru for about ten years.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I lived with him. It was brutal there, like there's
like this scam movie. He's doing this Bible movie where
kids pay the production sixteen hundred dollars for a quote
unquote film camp. But they're just going to be extras
in this thing called Night at the Bible Museum. And
in the schedule, the daily schedule there's a block where
it says an hour of improvisation with Kevin Sorbo, And
(01:07):
I was just like, what the fuck is that? And
I just could only imagine that Kevin Sorbo has no
understanding of what the rules and just basic structure of
improv is. So like, I was just like, every fucking
bit is just gonna be like, what the fuck is this?
Like just coming into a scene and just negating, arguing
and being like it's gonna go nowhere.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Every time I need a suggestion of a restaurant in.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
New Jersey, Yeah, oh fuck u Adelphia's Italian.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Put on these wigs, these long hair wigs from when
I was in my prime.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
We're gonna be a.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Buch of Kevin sobs. Is this ground wings, bro? We're
putting wigs on, little little little improv shade for those
that know, they know. Anyway, let's get into the trending
news today, Thursday, February twenty six, Big day for Florida.
They're doing their best to please Trump and I think
also give people like a glimpse of what the country
would look like if just we had the full Maga takeover.
(02:03):
They just passed a bill to honor Charlie Kirk on
October fourteenth, Yes, the proclamation every fourteenth, his birthday for
Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance. A lot of people, like Democrats,
were like, hey, what about is like residency, he never
like lived here? Is there any legitimate state interest in
(02:24):
any of this? Why is he worthy? And then one
of the Republicans who was like backing the bill was saying,
like them bringing up like his racist comments or quote
the typical greatest hits against conservative leaders.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
You mean, I'm sorry that the greatest hits also are
very racist.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It's not our fault.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, I'm just pointing. I'm just pointing out what was said.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, Neil Diamond can't complain when we're like seeing your shits, dude.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah, exactly exactly. What was even wilder but also probably predictable,
is that there was like an amendment that was put
forward to be like, Okay, then how about we do
the George Floyd whole billing that honor uh. But of
course they're like no, and I think that would just
be the wackiest fucking day like George Floyd slash Charlie
(03:11):
Kirk day. Is it feels like something like like Chuck
Schumer would introduce into the Senate. You know what I mean,
It's like, let's find some common ground. How about this
white supremacist with this victim of police violence? Yeah? Together
at last.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It is It's perfectly American.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
It's like being like, how about we do how about
Muhammad Ali shares a day with Senator Joseph McCarthy.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
You're like, yeah, why huh for no reason? To balance
it out? Balance it out, you know, like maybe uh,
you know, who's who's another guy we can think of.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Anyway, They're they're gonna try everything. And also, the Florida
House also advanced a build to create their own secret
fucking police force. Are you this HB nine forty five,
which would greenlight the creation of a new count intelligence
and counter terrorism unit within the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement past the House Budget Committee despite bipartisan opposition. So
(04:10):
the primary mission of this new unit would quote include
the detection, identification, and neutralization of adversary intelligence entities, which
include a person who quote whose demonstrated actions, views, or
opinions are a threat of are animical to the interests
of this state and the United States of America. So
(04:30):
very chill, very uncontraitional.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
You know, all these all these spies are all up
in Tampa. You know, they can't get and they got
it all over so important, the.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Hot bed, hot bed of activity. But again it's like, really,
just uh, what if we just don't have a First
Amendment so we can just say if we don't like
what you're saying, that's a crime.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Which again that's that we keep your eyes on this
ship because that is a fucking, terrible, fucking domind. I mean,
they're trying this everywhere, but they're really going for it.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
The word neutralized to mean kill, that's cool.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, without justification, we're just
going to erase their account. That's all. That's all. They
won't be able to post to Twitter anymore. That's all.
That's what I mean. Uh huh. And then just another
bit on Florida. Remember Alligator Alcatraz. The state is getting
basically stiffed on the money that the Department of Justice
(05:30):
said they would give them for setting up that concentration camp.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Larious.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
There was supposed to be a six hundred eight million
dollar federal reimbursement that the state has been like okay, well,
we can do this if they're going to give us
the six hundred eight million dollars, because if I mean
we need that money to come through. The Justice Department
lawyer just basically said, I mean, it's not going to
cover construction costs if the money comes through at all,
is what they were saying to the state of Florida.
(05:57):
So then they said any potential dollars would only fund
operational costs, not construction or facility modification. So wow, wow,
I mean that's crazy because the President and Ron DeSantis
were like, Oh, yeah, you're gonna get this grand it's
going to cover everything. You're not going to waste more
of your tax dollars brutalizing immigrants. It's it'll it'll be
(06:19):
covered by the federal government, but the rest of our
tax dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah, it'll come true from a very trustworthy DOJ.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly, very very trustworthy. Speaking of EOJ,
Clinton's are testifying today and tomorrow over the Epstein files.
So Hillary Clinton is currently, i think as we speak, testifying.
Bill has his day tomorrow in front of the GOP
(06:48):
led House Oversight Committee. They both wanted a public hearing,
like they're like well, we want, like, let's just do
this shit on the open, but the GOP was too
scared of that since they couldn't control the like totally
in control of the narrative of what was said. And
I don't know if she's got anything to bring the
thing all down. Probably not. From what we know of
(07:09):
the hearing so far, she has pulled the Mariah Carey
and was like, I don't recall encountering Jeffrey Epstein And
you're like really. I was like, let me see, this
is a picture. Looks like you guys, okay, Bill Clinton
was with him a lot, but you never okay, maybe
you never encountered him, maybe you heard something. Maybe you've
known who this guy was that your husband hung out.
(07:30):
It'd be so funny if Bill Clinton. I was like,
I don't recall ever encountering this man.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, they're like, what about the hot tub? He's like,
not ringing a bell. I I wish I could remember.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But I smoke a lot of weed, man, so you
know I get high. Brother. You know you know that
about me. I smoke a ton of weeds. So that's it, bro,
My memory is fucked. This was part of her opening statement,
though quote A Committee endeavoring to stop human trafficking would
seek to understand what specific steps are needed to fix
a system that allowed Epstein to get away with his crimes.
(07:59):
In two thousand eight, it goes on to say, quote,
but that's not happening. Instead, you have compelled me to testify,
fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist
your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump's
actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers.
I mean, she's not named in it, and from what
I know that there's no allegations against Hillary Clinton, so
(08:19):
I would probably be saying that. It's like, I mean, yeah,
you want to ask me about this. I mean, sure,
Bill's in there, but like you got right, this is
active cover for Donald Trump because you just want to
be able to be like they're bringing in because obviously
to the right wing right now, they're like they're bringing
in Bill and Hillary like it's over. Uh guys, yeah,
I answers.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I of course do not love the Clintons, but they're
like they've been such a heavy target of propaganda for
so many decades.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Now it's like, yeah, great, and if you got to
build take Bill down fucking do it. There's no there's
no fucking sides here, Like there's one side, it's do
you actually do you support people who have been abused
and assaulted by these wealthy people and refuse to let
them get away with it? Are you you rocking with
that or no?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, these people that are like just summarily demonstrated truly
true evil email, which is a hilarious way to perform Jesus.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, yeah, this could have been an email and it was,
and it was it really was you a Metallica fan? Uh?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
The first albums I was more of a you know,
I was more of a hip hop guy.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
In the nineties same same and at that point I
got into more alternative. But as I got older, I
definitely looked back at like Metallica and I was like,
oh shit, Like I saw them live at Outside Lands
like ten years ago, and I was like, oh, this
was fun. But they just announced they're going to be
doing a short residency at the Sphere, which I'm like, oh,
that could be. That could be a bad drug trip
(09:43):
waiting to happen seeing Metallica at the Sphere, And so
like this is following, like you know, YouTube fish the
Backstreet Boys and so this fall get Ready for the
Snake Pit in full spherical glory because it's they're big
guy shows of Otober first third, all the way through
like Halloween. But I'm also intrigued. No Doubt is also
(10:06):
doing some shows at the Sphere also, which I definitely
know No Doubts catalog more as like a southern California
SKA boy in that era. But like it's just like
I have the rumor is Gwen Stefani is actually going
to do baptisms during the set, sponsored by the prayer
app Hallo. I don't know, have you seen that commercial
where she's, oh, yeah, dude, she's fully She's fully on
(10:28):
board with like the Jesus Apps now, like everyone's like, oh,
you got the you got the Maga take the Maga
makeover is full now, Yeah, which is great because I'm
always asking how, like what does Gwen Stefani think about
my ability to enter the Kingdom of Heaven? And it
turns out I just need to pay a subscription to
this app if you want to talk to God. So
(10:49):
cool cool.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Gwen beat Yeah, I mean right, you know, I I
hope that she changes the lyrics to HALLI beck girl
to be like he is a hollow back god.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Uh, you know people already have made puns, it says,
I ain't no hollow app girl. Oh they've already. Yeah,
the Internet's done his thing. But it's it. I'm sure
this is gonna this song will hit differently when they
play it. If it's just like, take this crown of
thorns off my head, I'm crucified and almost nearly dead. Uh,
(11:28):
that shit. I don't know. I don't know. I'm waiting,
Gwen Tony, I don't know. I don't know where you're
staying with all this, but I get it. Y'all probably
need to check. So you're probably gonna have to rock
with whatever Christian shit's going on. I get it. I've
been in a band. Sometimes you got to be like, yeah,
I'm not really the draw, not really the draw. I
just played bass.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, we all got to pay rent.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I hope that it's like the sphere has the giant
production of like Jesus with the stick moda, but it's
like fountaining blood, but it's like kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
They Yeah, yeah, it goes rainbow. Yeah, it gets very
like Harrijuku girls. You fucking Poncious Pilot comes out.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Little Cats next to Judas.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be great. It's gonna be great.
The Last Kawai Supper is what they'll probably do. All right,
let's take a break and we'll be right back with
more news after this. And we're back just some movie news.
(12:25):
Scream seven is going to be coming out this weekend,
and I don't know, I mean, we've talked in the
past about how this production has been mired a bit
with the lack of free speech being honored by the
people performing in the film. So the premiere happened and
there was a protest led by Entertainment Labor for Palestine,
(12:47):
Code Pink LA and Jewish Voice for Peace Los Angeles
outside Paramount Studios. That's because Spyglass, the production company, fired
the original star Marissa Barrera for deigning to post anti
genocide messages on social media. How could you pretty really
honestly could you? Yeah? I mean, like the people were outside,
(13:07):
you know, screaming stand for free speech, boycott Scream seven,
Free Palestine, people playing drums instruments, totally peaceful protest, and
director Kevin Williamson was like, very vague because they're like Hey,
what do you think about that? Like the protests out there,
and he said, quote, I saw them, and my heart
just sort of stopped. Look, we live in America. Everyone
(13:29):
has a right to protest, and everyone should be heard.
And if you have faith and if you have your truth,
and if you want to stand up and be heard,
you protest. That is your right in this country, and
I stand by it. I support that one hundred percent. Okay,
so it's right to protest any take on what they're protesting,
you feel any type of way. But look, man, I'm
(13:50):
trying to work again. They've already I like signs.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I like when people hold signs get outside. I'm indiscriminately
of what the sign says.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, anything that's a sign I'm not gonna engage with.
I don't know enough of it. Actually, I don't know
enough about the topic to really speak on it. I
feel like I shouldn't be talking about politics anyway. Which
is the great cop out of this year. But apparently
the movie is kind of getting shitty reviews, No, really
bad right now. It's got a forty three on Rotten Tomatoes,
which is the lowest for any screen film.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Higher than I expected, though, Yeah, on Letterboxed.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
The user's reviews were put under a studio mandated embargo
until the release day. Like, wait, you're you're doing embargoes
on letterboxed because you don't. That's a great sign. That's
a great sign if you're like, don't let people poison
the well before the fucking release. They can do it
after people have bought their tickets. That are like, what
(14:45):
the fuck? What the fuck was this? What the fuck.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Suggestion of a meatball sandwich I'm about to eat?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, yeah, exactly what the fuck is this? Me ball
sandwich just stinks like shit? Okay? Uh and who am
I to you in this scene? Or do you fucking
meet ball sub? All right, and that's it. Let's do
another scene, guys.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, let's all right.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Uh yeah edit, uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I'm pissed that that scream has never they had never.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Done the obvious thing, which is have ghost Face killer
come in and kill the ghost Face murder.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah you know what I mean? What about I feel
like that would have been in like scary scary movie
like was it feels like a scary movie thing like
where if like they unmasked ghost Face and it's Tony
Stark himself, ghost face kill a Wu Tang clan. I
don't know. That's just an idea because I know they're
working on a new one right now.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Another scary movie.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Another scary movie that's gonna be like Sinners Weapons a
few other things. They're gonna they're gonna lampoon in that one.
And it's like, curious what a parody movie looks like
in this current era. I'm really cure. Is Carmen Electra
said something much like I trust the Wayans brothers to
make an uncancellable film. I'm like, yeah, probably we'll see that. Yeah,
(16:09):
just what if it's like funny? I mean, obviously you
don't want to be like terribly defensive and problematic, but
like you gonna be good, I don't know. And then also,
like the reviews that like you can see seem to
be a combination of people giving it like a low
rating and also you know, supporting Barrera and the movement
to free Balestine, and also people giving it a low
(16:30):
rating because they saw it and they genuinely said it
sucked shit basically, So it's hard to know what's going on.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
It's pretty funny when our America's worst movies can't help.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
But becoming broiled and pop this.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Is you know what I mean, Like, it's a shame
we have to boycott the New Sharknado or whatever you know,
right right right, not have to give a shit about
scream stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah exactly. And I've also like Scream seven. Yeah, were
they through six? What? Yeah exactly. I'm like I remember
when Scream three came out, but I was like, now, guys,
come on, I gave you. I gave you two movies, Like,
we don't have to keep doing this, but hey, they
fucking love squeezing every fucking penny out of IPEd anything
(17:14):
but empowering new creators, tell new stories anything.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
But yeah, the dedication to artlessness is really stunning.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah, It's like it's like pervasive. I just like throughout
every industry. I feel like on some level where you
have like like like this older generation who's like not
able to take creative risks and doesn't understand that the
people younger than them are totally capable of doing that. Yes,
totally capable of creating something. It's like I don't know,
I mean because I'm past it and I'm so I'm
(17:45):
so self centered that I think that has to be
the reality of every other human being on earth.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yep, no way, there's an audience for risky art in
any way, there's you know what I mean, Like yeah,
also when Scream came up, the whole thing with Scream
was like.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Hey, that was pretty good for a E movie.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, you know what I mean, like flash bad.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
For a movie that it should have been a piece
of shit. We don't eat seven of those.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's I think it's just going
through that thing. It's like, look, horror is profitable and
you can kind of make it for lower money, and
also we can just keep trading on the name and
hope that people'll come back. But yeah, sure again, horror
is not my genre, as I've famously said, but Drew
Barrymore is. That's why I faithfully watched the first screen. Dude.
(18:27):
Now there's a nude AI development happening at Burger King,
which of course I was like, when is fucking Burger
King gonna wake up? Yo?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Those onion rings already taste like AI.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Honestly, I do have onion ring that they always had
onion rings.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I don't know what I've had them, and there they
taste not even bad weird, which is worse bad.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Every time there was a there was a Burger King
I used to go to in college, just like out
of desperation, and it always was just like, for whatever reason,
felt the weirdest to eat, not like not in an
emotional way, like just maybe that too.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
It's like there's some grief.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
There's something about it that's not interesting, Like I just
can't you know, because like even with like Jack in
the Box and McDonald's, like yes, they get how like
stoner brains work. Yeah, but like burger and like Carlos
Junior fucking love a double Western bacon cheese. Okay, two am, Yeah,
two am, dude, a Santa Fe chicken, still fucking rocket
(19:28):
with that. But Burger King, like every time, like brow
what the fuck tastes like shit?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Bro, Yeah, you're like if I'm risking bad fast food, you.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Know what I mean, it's it is so low in
the list.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
You just cheated on your girlfriend and it was awkward
and awful. You're like, oh, I did too.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Off, Oh what have I done? What have I done?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
The onion rings taste like they're served with a handful
of pennies or something like it's just the weirdest.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Because yeah, it's copper wiring inside too, it's what you're tasting.
But anyway, they have a new AI chatbot called Patty
that will quote live in the headsets used by employees.
The AI will be used to keep track of kitchen
equipment and inventory, and will also be used as a
coaching tool, how you ask, by fucking monitoring the conversations
(20:18):
employees are having with customers and making sure they're saying
quote certain words and phrases such as welcome to Burger King, please,
and thank you. It's also going to fucking tone police
them and evaluate their friendliness, which is so fucking nightmarish,
like having a fucking computer strapped to your head. That's like, hey, fucker,
(20:40):
why don't you be nicer next time and say thank you?
Uh uh uh, be a little more friendly. They're piloting
in five hundred restaurants right now, and they say by
the end of twenty twenty sixth it should be in
every location. So again, if you're feeling real down and
out and you happen to be in Burger King, you
can really look forward to buying a whopper from just
an exhausted person and who's getting electric shocks in their
(21:03):
fucking head because they're not smiling enough.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, we're inches away from like like force neurolinking.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Anybody who takes under thirty.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
When do you think like the first like stimulus based
a like where they're like you're gonna get a little
bit of a sensation, you know, to correct, but like
when we just become full like animals with shot. Yeah, yeah,
just a little bit, you're gonna feel a little buzz
back there in your butt and that's when you know,
tighten up or we're gonna tighten.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Up like they've got full on like throat collars that
like forcif.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
But I mean that's what it feels like. The next thing,
right is like the AI is like whispering in your
ear to like try and keep workers fucking obedient and
doing whatever the fuck they need to do. But you know,
like if you want to promote friendliness, maybe fucking pay
a living wage.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yep, he you do.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
That's a hack and you don't have to fucking lean
into this dumb fuck AI bubble and be like what
costs way less than you're spending AI? Yeah? Yeah, have
you been to a fast food place and like a
like a country with socialized healthcare way different. The vibes
in there like hey, hey, welcome, Yeah, what that great? Cool?
And you're like, what the fuck?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, they're like, I'm my children go to school now
with the more children, Oh my.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
God, it's like the fucking I mean, like, it's so
I don't know, there's something so dark about this kind
of shit when like every time, the solution is pay
people what they need to survive and the energy changes immediately. Yep.
But I guess last year Burger King employees filed a
lawsuit alleging that quote the company's no higher agreements among
(22:39):
its US franchisees limited job mobility and violated federal antitrust
laws by keeping wages low. So this is part and parcel.
I guess it's so funny to be like, well, the
solution isn't to give people what they need. It's the
solution is to make them obedient. Yep, and like and
it's like what you're seeing now, it's like, the solution
isn't to create us a more robust social safety net
(23:00):
to like Titan laws around dissent. So you accept the
fucking meager offerings you're getting.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah, let's make it more and more of a crime
to be poor.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. Burger King. If you work
at Burger King, I'm so sorry that they're putting this
fucking computer in your ear.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Those people are already saints at one in the morning,
like giving me French fries and tending to be like
somewhat happy.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Joyce Bro Food.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Service is awful in this country doing that shit. And yeah,
to make to augment that with someone going, uh uh,
you didn't say the magic words, you know, somebody you're
we're gonna see crash outs where people are like this crap. Yep,
all right, y'all, that's gonna do it for today's trending episode. Obviously,

What's up everybody, and welcome to this tour. When I
was it Thursday, February twenty sixth edition of a geist
This tres smell Fite site. Shout out Infinite Jost for
that one. Again. The references to the bit that I
started talking about Kevin Sorbo's improv skills has just created
a life of its own. Anyway. It's me Miles g
(00:22):
in the place to be with the co host with
the mohost and great technical boordability. Please welcome more Burn,
Hello Moore, what's up dudes?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Gayful to be here, what's up? Good to see you.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Ma oh yeah, good to see you too. I was
did you I know you? Look you're an improviser. Did
you know that Kevin Sorbo is also an improviser? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
He was my He was my guru for about ten years.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I lived with him. It was brutal there, like there's
like this scam movie. He's doing this Bible movie where
kids pay the production sixteen hundred dollars for a quote
unquote film camp. But they're just going to be extras
in this thing called Night at the Bible Museum. And
in the schedule, the daily schedule there's a block where
it says an hour of improvisation with Kevin Sorbo, And
(01:07):
I was just like, what the fuck is that? And
I just could only imagine that Kevin Sorbo has no
understanding of what the rules and just basic structure of
improv is. So like, I was just like, every fucking
bit is just gonna be like, what the fuck is this?
Like just coming into a scene and just negating, arguing
and being like it's gonna go nowhere.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Every time I need a suggestion of a restaurant in.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
New Jersey, Yeah, oh fuck u Adelphia's Italian.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Put on these wigs, these long hair wigs from when
I was in my prime.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
We're gonna be a.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Buch of Kevin sobs. Is this ground wings, bro? We're
putting wigs on, little little little improv shade for those
that know, they know. Anyway, let's get into the trending
news today, Thursday, February twenty six, Big day for Florida.
They're doing their best to please Trump and I think
also give people like a glimpse of what the country
would look like if just we had the full Maga takeover.
(02:03):
They just passed a bill to honor Charlie Kirk on
October fourteenth, Yes, the proclamation every fourteenth, his birthday for
Charlie Kirk Day of Remembrance. A lot of people, like Democrats,
were like, hey, what about is like residency, he never
like lived here? Is there any legitimate state interest in
(02:24):
any of this? Why is he worthy? And then one
of the Republicans who was like backing the bill was saying,
like them bringing up like his racist comments or quote
the typical greatest hits against conservative leaders.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
You mean, I'm sorry that the greatest hits also are
very racist.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
It's not our fault.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Yeah, I'm just pointing. I'm just pointing out what was said.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Yeah, Neil Diamond can't complain when we're like seeing your shits, dude.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah, exactly exactly. What was even wilder but also probably predictable,
is that there was like an amendment that was put
forward to be like, Okay, then how about we do
the George Floyd whole billing that honor uh. But of
course they're like no, and I think that would just
be the wackiest fucking day like George Floyd slash Charlie
(03:11):
Kirk day. Is it feels like something like like Chuck
Schumer would introduce into the Senate. You know what I mean,
It's like, let's find some common ground. How about this
white supremacist with this victim of police violence? Yeah? Together
at last.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
It is It's perfectly American.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
It's like being like, how about we do how about
Muhammad Ali shares a day with Senator Joseph McCarthy.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
You're like, yeah, why huh for no reason? To balance
it out? Balance it out, you know, like maybe uh,
you know, who's who's another guy we can think of.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Anyway, They're they're gonna try everything. And also, the Florida
House also advanced a build to create their own secret
fucking police force. Are you this HB nine forty five,
which would greenlight the creation of a new count intelligence
and counter terrorism unit within the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement past the House Budget Committee despite bipartisan opposition. So
(04:10):
the primary mission of this new unit would quote include
the detection, identification, and neutralization of adversary intelligence entities, which
include a person who quote whose demonstrated actions, views, or
opinions are a threat of are animical to the interests
of this state and the United States of America. So
(04:30):
very chill, very uncontraitional.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
You know, all these all these spies are all up
in Tampa. You know, they can't get and they got
it all over so important, the.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Hot bed, hot bed of activity. But again it's like, really,
just uh, what if we just don't have a First
Amendment so we can just say if we don't like
what you're saying, that's a crime.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
Which again that's that we keep your eyes on this
ship because that is a fucking, terrible, fucking domind. I mean,
they're trying this everywhere, but they're really going for it.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
The word neutralized to mean kill, that's cool.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, without justification, we're just
going to erase their account. That's all. That's all. They
won't be able to post to Twitter anymore. That's all.
That's what I mean. Uh huh. And then just another
bit on Florida. Remember Alligator Alcatraz. The state is getting
basically stiffed on the money that the Department of Justice
(05:30):
said they would give them for setting up that concentration camp.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Larious.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
There was supposed to be a six hundred eight million
dollar federal reimbursement that the state has been like okay, well,
we can do this if they're going to give us
the six hundred eight million dollars, because if I mean
we need that money to come through. The Justice Department
lawyer just basically said, I mean, it's not going to
cover construction costs if the money comes through at all,
is what they were saying to the state of Florida.
(05:57):
So then they said any potential dollars would only fund
operational costs, not construction or facility modification. So wow, wow,
I mean that's crazy because the President and Ron DeSantis
were like, Oh, yeah, you're gonna get this grand it's
going to cover everything. You're not going to waste more
of your tax dollars brutalizing immigrants. It's it'll it'll be
(06:19):
covered by the federal government, but the rest of our
tax dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Yeah, it'll come true from a very trustworthy DOJ.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly, very very trustworthy. Speaking of EOJ,
Clinton's are testifying today and tomorrow over the Epstein files.
So Hillary Clinton is currently, i think as we speak, testifying.
Bill has his day tomorrow in front of the GOP
(06:48):
led House Oversight Committee. They both wanted a public hearing,
like they're like well, we want, like, let's just do
this shit on the open, but the GOP was too
scared of that since they couldn't control the like totally
in control of the narrative of what was said. And
I don't know if she's got anything to bring the
thing all down. Probably not. From what we know of
(07:09):
the hearing so far, she has pulled the Mariah Carey
and was like, I don't recall encountering Jeffrey Epstein And
you're like really. I was like, let me see, this
is a picture. Looks like you guys, okay, Bill Clinton
was with him a lot, but you never okay, maybe
you never encountered him, maybe you heard something. Maybe you've
known who this guy was that your husband hung out.
(07:30):
It'd be so funny if Bill Clinton. I was like,
I don't recall ever encountering this man.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Yeah, they're like, what about the hot tub? He's like,
not ringing a bell. I I wish I could remember.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But I smoke a lot of weed, man, so you
know I get high. Brother. You know you know that
about me. I smoke a ton of weeds. So that's it, bro,
My memory is fucked. This was part of her opening statement,
though quote A Committee endeavoring to stop human trafficking would
seek to understand what specific steps are needed to fix
a system that allowed Epstein to get away with his crimes.
(07:59):
In two thousand eight, it goes on to say, quote,
but that's not happening. Instead, you have compelled me to testify,
fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist
your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump's
actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers.
I mean, she's not named in it, and from what
I know that there's no allegations against Hillary Clinton, so
(08:19):
I would probably be saying that. It's like, I mean, yeah,
you want to ask me about this. I mean, sure,
Bill's in there, but like you got right, this is
active cover for Donald Trump because you just want to
be able to be like they're bringing in because obviously
to the right wing right now, they're like they're bringing
in Bill and Hillary like it's over. Uh guys, yeah,
I answers.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I of course do not love the Clintons, but they're
like they've been such a heavy target of propaganda for
so many decades.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Now it's like, yeah, great, and if you got to
build take Bill down fucking do it. There's no there's
no fucking sides here, Like there's one side, it's do
you actually do you support people who have been abused
and assaulted by these wealthy people and refuse to let
them get away with it? Are you you rocking with
that or no?
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, these people that are like just summarily demonstrated truly
true evil email, which is a hilarious way to perform Jesus.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yeah, yeah, this could have been an email and it was,
and it was it really was you a Metallica fan? Uh?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:20):
The first albums I was more of a you know,
I was more of a hip hop guy.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
In the nineties same same and at that point I
got into more alternative. But as I got older, I
definitely looked back at like Metallica and I was like,
oh shit, Like I saw them live at Outside Lands
like ten years ago, and I was like, oh, this
was fun. But they just announced they're going to be
doing a short residency at the Sphere, which I'm like, oh,
that could be. That could be a bad drug trip
(09:43):
waiting to happen seeing Metallica at the Sphere, And so
like this is following, like you know, YouTube fish the
Backstreet Boys and so this fall get Ready for the
Snake Pit in full spherical glory because it's they're big
guy shows of Otober first third, all the way through
like Halloween. But I'm also intrigued. No Doubt is also
(10:06):
doing some shows at the Sphere also, which I definitely
know No Doubts catalog more as like a southern California
SKA boy in that era. But like it's just like
I have the rumor is Gwen Stefani is actually going
to do baptisms during the set, sponsored by the prayer
app Hallo. I don't know, have you seen that commercial
where she's, oh, yeah, dude, she's fully She's fully on
(10:28):
board with like the Jesus Apps now, like everyone's like, oh,
you got the you got the Maga take the Maga
makeover is full now, Yeah, which is great because I'm
always asking how, like what does Gwen Stefani think about
my ability to enter the Kingdom of Heaven? And it
turns out I just need to pay a subscription to
this app if you want to talk to God. So
(10:49):
cool cool.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Gwen beat Yeah, I mean right, you know, I I
hope that she changes the lyrics to HALLI beck girl
to be like he is a hollow back god.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Uh, you know people already have made puns, it says,
I ain't no hollow app girl. Oh they've already. Yeah,
the Internet's done his thing. But it's it. I'm sure
this is gonna this song will hit differently when they
play it. If it's just like, take this crown of
thorns off my head, I'm crucified and almost nearly dead. Uh,
(11:28):
that shit. I don't know. I don't know. I'm waiting,
Gwen Tony, I don't know. I don't know where you're
staying with all this, but I get it. Y'all probably
need to check. So you're probably gonna have to rock
with whatever Christian shit's going on. I get it. I've
been in a band. Sometimes you got to be like, yeah,
I'm not really the draw, not really the draw. I
just played bass.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, we all got to pay rent.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I hope that it's like the sphere has the giant
production of like Jesus with the stick moda, but it's
like fountaining blood, but it's like kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
They Yeah, yeah, it goes rainbow. Yeah, it gets very
like Harrijuku girls. You fucking Poncious Pilot comes out.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Little Cats next to Judas.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be great. It's gonna be great.
The Last Kawai Supper is what they'll probably do. All right,
let's take a break and we'll be right back with
more news after this. And we're back just some movie news.
(12:25):
Scream seven is going to be coming out this weekend,
and I don't know, I mean, we've talked in the
past about how this production has been mired a bit
with the lack of free speech being honored by the
people performing in the film. So the premiere happened and
there was a protest led by Entertainment Labor for Palestine,
(12:47):
Code Pink LA and Jewish Voice for Peace Los Angeles
outside Paramount Studios. That's because Spyglass, the production company, fired
the original star Marissa Barrera for deigning to post anti
genocide messages on social media. How could you pretty really
honestly could you? Yeah? I mean, like the people were outside,
(13:07):
you know, screaming stand for free speech, boycott Scream seven,
Free Palestine, people playing drums instruments, totally peaceful protest, and
director Kevin Williamson was like, very vague because they're like Hey,
what do you think about that? Like the protests out there,
and he said, quote, I saw them, and my heart
just sort of stopped. Look, we live in America. Everyone
(13:29):
has a right to protest, and everyone should be heard.
And if you have faith and if you have your truth,
and if you want to stand up and be heard,
you protest. That is your right in this country, and
I stand by it. I support that one hundred percent. Okay,
so it's right to protest any take on what they're protesting,
you feel any type of way. But look, man, I'm
(13:50):
trying to work again. They've already I like signs.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I like when people hold signs get outside. I'm indiscriminately
of what the sign says.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yeah, anything that's a sign I'm not gonna engage with.
I don't know enough of it. Actually, I don't know
enough about the topic to really speak on it. I
feel like I shouldn't be talking about politics anyway. Which
is the great cop out of this year. But apparently
the movie is kind of getting shitty reviews, No, really
bad right now. It's got a forty three on Rotten Tomatoes,
which is the lowest for any screen film.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Higher than I expected, though, Yeah, on Letterboxed.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
The user's reviews were put under a studio mandated embargo
until the release day. Like, wait, you're you're doing embargoes
on letterboxed because you don't. That's a great sign. That's
a great sign if you're like, don't let people poison
the well before the fucking release. They can do it
after people have bought their tickets. That are like, what
(14:45):
the fuck? What the fuck was this? What the fuck.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Suggestion of a meatball sandwich I'm about to eat?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah, yeah, exactly what the fuck is this? Me ball
sandwich just stinks like shit? Okay? Uh and who am
I to you in this scene? Or do you fucking
meet ball sub? All right, and that's it. Let's do
another scene, guys.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, let's all right.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Uh yeah edit, uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
I'm pissed that that scream has never they had never.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
Done the obvious thing, which is have ghost Face killer
come in and kill the ghost Face murder.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah you know what I mean? What about I feel
like that would have been in like scary scary movie
like was it feels like a scary movie thing like
where if like they unmasked ghost Face and it's Tony
Stark himself, ghost face kill a Wu Tang clan. I
don't know. That's just an idea because I know they're
working on a new one right now.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Another scary movie.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Another scary movie that's gonna be like Sinners Weapons a
few other things. They're gonna they're gonna lampoon in that one.
And it's like, curious what a parody movie looks like
in this current era. I'm really cure. Is Carmen Electra
said something much like I trust the Wayans brothers to
make an uncancellable film. I'm like, yeah, probably we'll see that. Yeah,
(16:09):
just what if it's like funny? I mean, obviously you
don't want to be like terribly defensive and problematic, but
like you gonna be good, I don't know. And then also,
like the reviews that like you can see seem to
be a combination of people giving it like a low
rating and also you know, supporting Barrera and the movement
to free Balestine, and also people giving it a low
(16:30):
rating because they saw it and they genuinely said it
sucked shit basically, So it's hard to know what's going on.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
It's pretty funny when our America's worst movies can't help.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
But becoming broiled and pop this.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Is you know what I mean, Like, it's a shame
we have to boycott the New Sharknado or whatever you know,
right right right, not have to give a shit about
scream stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah exactly. And I've also like Scream seven. Yeah, were
they through six? What? Yeah exactly. I'm like I remember
when Scream three came out, but I was like, now, guys,
come on, I gave you. I gave you two movies, Like,
we don't have to keep doing this, but hey, they
fucking love squeezing every fucking penny out of IPEd anything
(17:14):
but empowering new creators, tell new stories anything.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
But yeah, the dedication to artlessness is really stunning.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Yeah, It's like it's like pervasive. I just like throughout
every industry. I feel like on some level where you
have like like like this older generation who's like not
able to take creative risks and doesn't understand that the
people younger than them are totally capable of doing that. Yes,
totally capable of creating something. It's like I don't know,
I mean because I'm past it and I'm so I'm
(17:45):
so self centered that I think that has to be
the reality of every other human being on earth.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Yep, no way, there's an audience for risky art in
any way, there's you know what I mean, Like yeah,
also when Scream came up, the whole thing with Scream
was like.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Hey, that was pretty good for a E movie.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, you know what I mean, like flash bad.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
For a movie that it should have been a piece
of shit. We don't eat seven of those.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's I think it's just going
through that thing. It's like, look, horror is profitable and
you can kind of make it for lower money, and
also we can just keep trading on the name and
hope that people'll come back. But yeah, sure again, horror
is not my genre, as I've famously said, but Drew
Barrymore is. That's why I faithfully watched the first screen. Dude.
(18:27):
Now there's a nude AI development happening at Burger King,
which of course I was like, when is fucking Burger
King gonna wake up? Yo?
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Those onion rings already taste like AI.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Honestly, I do have onion ring that they always had
onion rings.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
I don't know what I've had them, and there they
taste not even bad weird, which is worse bad.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Every time there was a there was a Burger King
I used to go to in college, just like out
of desperation, and it always was just like, for whatever reason,
felt the weirdest to eat, not like not in an
emotional way, like just maybe that too.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
It's like there's some grief.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
There's something about it that's not interesting, Like I just
can't you know, because like even with like Jack in
the Box and McDonald's, like yes, they get how like
stoner brains work. Yeah, but like burger and like Carlos
Junior fucking love a double Western bacon cheese. Okay, two am, Yeah,
two am, dude, a Santa Fe chicken, still fucking rocket
(19:28):
with that. But Burger King, like every time, like brow
what the fuck tastes like shit?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Bro, Yeah, you're like if I'm risking bad fast food, you.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Know what I mean, it's it is so low in
the list.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
You just cheated on your girlfriend and it was awkward
and awful. You're like, oh, I did too.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Off, Oh what have I done? What have I done?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
The onion rings taste like they're served with a handful
of pennies or something like it's just the weirdest.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Because yeah, it's copper wiring inside too, it's what you're tasting.
But anyway, they have a new AI chatbot called Patty
that will quote live in the headsets used by employees.
The AI will be used to keep track of kitchen
equipment and inventory, and will also be used as a
coaching tool, how you ask, by fucking monitoring the conversations
(20:18):
employees are having with customers and making sure they're saying
quote certain words and phrases such as welcome to Burger King, please,
and thank you. It's also going to fucking tone police
them and evaluate their friendliness, which is so fucking nightmarish,
like having a fucking computer strapped to your head. That's like, hey, fucker,
(20:40):
why don't you be nicer next time and say thank you?
Uh uh uh, be a little more friendly. They're piloting
in five hundred restaurants right now, and they say by
the end of twenty twenty sixth it should be in
every location. So again, if you're feeling real down and
out and you happen to be in Burger King, you
can really look forward to buying a whopper from just
an exhausted person and who's getting electric shocks in their
(21:03):
fucking head because they're not smiling enough.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
Yeah, we're inches away from like like force neurolinking.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Anybody who takes under thirty.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
When do you think like the first like stimulus based
a like where they're like you're gonna get a little
bit of a sensation, you know, to correct, but like
when we just become full like animals with shot. Yeah, yeah,
just a little bit, you're gonna feel a little buzz
back there in your butt and that's when you know,
tighten up or we're gonna tighten.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
Up like they've got full on like throat collars that
like forcif.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
But I mean that's what it feels like. The next thing,
right is like the AI is like whispering in your
ear to like try and keep workers fucking obedient and
doing whatever the fuck they need to do. But you know,
like if you want to promote friendliness, maybe fucking pay
a living wage.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Yep, he you do.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
That's a hack and you don't have to fucking lean
into this dumb fuck AI bubble and be like what
costs way less than you're spending AI? Yeah? Yeah, have
you been to a fast food place and like a
like a country with socialized healthcare way different. The vibes
in there like hey, hey, welcome, Yeah, what that great? Cool?
And you're like, what the fuck?
Speaker 3 (22:12):
Yeah, they're like, I'm my children go to school now
with the more children, Oh my.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
God, it's like the fucking I mean, like, it's so
I don't know, there's something so dark about this kind
of shit when like every time, the solution is pay
people what they need to survive and the energy changes immediately. Yep.
But I guess last year Burger King employees filed a
lawsuit alleging that quote the company's no higher agreements among
(22:39):
its US franchisees limited job mobility and violated federal antitrust
laws by keeping wages low. So this is part and parcel.
I guess it's so funny to be like, well, the
solution isn't to give people what they need. It's the
solution is to make them obedient. Yep, and like and
it's like what you're seeing now, it's like, the solution
isn't to create us a more robust social safety net
(23:00):
to like Titan laws around dissent. So you accept the
fucking meager offerings you're getting.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah, let's make it more and more of a crime
to be poor.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly exactly. Burger King. If you work
at Burger King, I'm so sorry that they're putting this
fucking computer in your ear.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Those people are already saints at one in the morning,
like giving me French fries and tending to be like
somewhat happy.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Joyce Bro Food.
Speaker 1 (23:25):

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
