Speaker 3 (02:37):
He was just I think he had like it was like, really,
I have some friends who are like that, who just
like are constantly saying ship and like, half of the
time is really funny and half of the time it's cringe,
you know, crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, he's definitely like a broken clock type wrapper or something.
And then other times you're like, that's a bar. Wait

Vogue party? And I get bleach your asshole? You get
T shirt and you're like what what bleach your asshole?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I'm like, an ass Why would that make you feel
like an asshole? Of all the things you should definitely
feel like an asshole for so many things.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Is one of those albums though, that I think perfectly
encapsulates that, where you're half the time like what the
fuck and then other times like okay.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, yeah, okay. The music is good, the rapping is
frequently I will.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Never I will never shade him on the door, but
his always shade him on his fucking terrible lyrics.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Wait. So Coyle Dropout was the first one, then Late
Registration was the second. I remember like I was so
excited for that. I was like reading magat like paper
magazine articles about the make of it and like what
was happening? And I remember one report from the making
of Late Registration where they were like, he is he
(04:09):
has the whole album, but like fifty percent of the
verses are just him being like the shapes. Yeah, he's
the Shapes, but he didn't have the words yet I
was like that having so much sense.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I hear that a lot with like singer songwriters where
it's like, yeah, the words are secondari it's like, yeah
a rapper.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
First, Yeah, unless you're so percussive with your flow that like.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
You said to like, then I'll figure it out. But
it's like, no, not that, not in that old brain.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Wait, when are we going to get a rapper that
does only glossalalia gloss where it's like it's like cigarettes
where it's just fake words.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, wait, cigarette's not speaking a language, you know, they're
singing singing nonsense words. Yeah, they got so bad. Was
like Iceland, right, yeah, wow a language they call it
Hopeland or some ship like that.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I think, Wow, that's like the there's this one TikTok
I love. It's just these German dudes who are like
in a car spitting gibberish like what they think American
rat rat Yeah, panetic, And it's like kind of dope
because you're like, oh I don't actually don't like in
a weird and I'm like, yeah, that goes hard, Like

Speaker 6 (06:15):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this Monday morning week
trend break trend edition of journ.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
My was just stretched out like a little cartoon character
waking up from a nap as you did that a little.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I'm just a little news hungry sweet bab waiting to
talk about.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
All the good and the bad. Oh yeah, wow, what

Speaker 3 (06:50):
To catch me. January is about, right, dry January?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Avoid all contact with humans soliciation.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That's right. My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there
is Miles Gray. Yes, we hope everybody had a wonderful holiday.
Wonderful you know if you celebrate that. If not, we
hope you just had a good couple of weeks taking
a break from hearing our voices live. But now we're back.
But now we're back, you can't bite us assholes. We
(07:19):
hope you enjoyed that extended cold open as we so
we just like ease ourselves back into the cold pool
of the zeitgeists. Yeah, or maybe it's like a hot
time what is it too hot? The hot tub is
a little little subjective. It is all subjective. Thank you
for that, Miles, broken hot tub, says Brian, the editor
(07:43):
hot Tub time Machine. All right, so let's just like
blast through a handful of stories that happened over the
break Well.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
What did you can completely forget the form of the
show here?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Oh shit, that's right.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
You don't even want to get to know me a
little bit better?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
To get to know us a little me tell you
some of the things that happened over the weekend. Do
I have that right in this case, over the past
two and a half weeks and plus fifteen minutes of nonsense?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
But first we do like to let you guys get
to know us a little bit better by telling you
some things we think are over and underrated. We often
do over it and underrated with the guest. I'm going
to over explain everything because.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I need to be reminded. And you're Jack and I
am Jack. And look at your underwear. Look at your underwear,
Look at the label I'm Haynes, I'm Alvin Klein.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Oh, Calvin, Calvin ke back, all right, But first, Miles,
we tell the people what we think is underrated, what
we think is overrated. What you got, you got anything you.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Underrated?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
A few things I think like you with many observations
hit us and we them. For this moment, I will
start off with the convenience of watching movies that are
out in theaters on your couch.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
It's a slippery slope, y'all.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I love going to move to the movies, I always will,
but the ease at which you can summon a new
movie and watch it on the couch almost had me thinking,
why do I bother going to the theater? Yea, but
then you want to go and rent that shit on
your couch And I still can't wrap my head around
renting of a temporary stream from like an Apple TV
(09:31):
or whatever for twenty dollars. It's like, somehow I can't
even fathom that it's cheaper than actually going to the movies.
I'm like, no, no, no, twenty dollars to rent. I go, Brian,
is this on the server?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah? Plus, you always get mad that I'm laughing at
inappropriate moments when I'm taking the video of the movie exactly,
I watch and then send to you.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I mean, thank you for sending me that nas Faratu
screen cap, but did you did you just film that
off your TV?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Either or But yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
That's one.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I'm just gonna get through all these. The next one
la weather and how I perceive winter. We all know
I am obsessed with the cold and not and basically
getting my whole shit frost bit.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Okay reference to Jack getting his whole shit bit by.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
All I could talk about this break with people who
weren't from LA was what is.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Your winter like in the land where you come from?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
And then I went to Colorado.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
The thing basically, what I noticed was a lot of
places that get snow weren't getting snow as like sort
of around the typical time, thanks climate change. I was
also reading about how snow days are like becoming less
and less of a frequent occurrence, and now black people,
I never knew about that. I didn't even know that
was a fucking thing. But when I know that from movies,
which has shaped my entire idea of what winter is,
(10:50):
because I thought, basically, when December hits everywhere is a
winter wonderland. Turns out that's not true. Earth has different patterns.
But anyway, I just I just have to say I
was just I went to skate on a frozen lake
and that shit was so whimsical I had to skate
it in a minute.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Wait, where were you?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I went to Colorado for a couple of days.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Shot Ian, shot Kelly, you know, shout out the whole
crew out there, and we skated on a frozen lake.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
That shit was so fun.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
But then I was also talking to someone else who's
from the East Coast and like, I used to do
this all the time, but the lakes don't freeze over
with the same frequency they did as a kid, and
like the kids in my town, like my town growing up,
don't kind of know the same way we used to
do winter. And then I had like this like weird
blade runner moment where I'm like just like shedding a
tear for like everything and everyone I'd been through. It
got kind of kind kind of grim. As I stated
(11:37):
on this lake, I thought a lot about climate change
out here.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Gobbling people up. Yeah, yeah they are. I'm just saying like,
maybe maybe it would help with the climate catastrophe if
we had ways to dramatize it. No snow days and
lakes are gobbling people up who try.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
And I think I think it also makes it a
little bit different me because like, I'm so used to
the one note climate that I'm not realizing how wacky
the variations. I mean, I obviously know that intellectually that
earth death is happening in real time, but there's something
about living in la where you're just.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Kind of like, oh, it's not as cold in December.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
And then you go a little bit further up, like
where there's usually like Big Bear where their ski season
is like getting destroyed like year after year because of
the lack of snowfall.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
All that to say my next underrated beef tallow get
in folks. I made a roasted a lot of holiday meat,
rendered the fat, and I've used it to make frozen
hash browns tastier okay, grilled cheese sandoz from Okay, because
they're so fucking beef fatty Okay, the way a grill
them and the vibe of steak and eggs with just
(12:48):
eggs and using the beef tallo to fry the eggs anyway.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
You're rendering the fat just by like cooking a steak
on a grill on a you know.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Like I made like a I made a prime rib
roast like for a Smiths, And so all the fat
trimming and leftover fat from that meal, I just cut
up into small pieces and just put that on low heat, all.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
The fat, just to get all that fat out.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Then you strain it and now you have just the
essence of beef flavor that you can use to do
anything with.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So anyway, so I think.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I'm raising a couple miles is in the in the
sense of, like really I took I drove, just me
and my boys went up to Sequoia National Park. I
was really excited about the big trees. I was like, damn,
look how big those trees are. Those trees are huge.
And kids, guys, they were into that, but like really
(13:39):
what they were They just like there was a a
field with snow in it, and they just like went
and lots wanted to play in the snow the whole
time and just like pick up chunks of ice and
hit hit piles of snow with sticks.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
The geist child every time we saw snow, he go
Santa Santa Santa, because like a couple of like the
weird you know Santa things that we saw always have
like these very winter depictions and he meet his like.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Santa and I'm like, nah, Son, that's just snow.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
That's snow. We don't know, we know not of snow
come from? All right, my underrated leg day so crazy
this this is a weird run. But one basketball podcast
I listened to The Flagrant Ones hosted by a friend
of the show, Carl Tart, friend of the show Hayes Davenport.
(14:32):
The third host who we should have on at some
point but have not, ye Shawn Clements. Uh So, Sean
Clements was talking about this tennis movie he wrote and
that just wrapped that he was shooting. And they had
as like a tennis consultant, the number one tennis coach
(14:52):
in America, like in pros there to consult and he
was like, is really what he's like? Great guy, but
he kept talking about men's legs and he was just
obsessed with legs and like, and they like had a
professional tennis player come in and they were like talking
about how the coaches about all about legs and the
(15:14):
professional tennis players Like, guys, let me stop you right there.
I would love to join it and make fun of him,
but like, I'm also obsessed with men's legs, and apparently
like just having real some plumper rocks down there is
what actually like makes you a great tennis player, which
isn't what I would I would assume you just go
out there looking like Popeye, big arms, tiny tiny legs
(15:36):
and just whacking that thing around. But apparently it's all
about legs. So it got me checking checking some legs.
And then I went and saw No s Faratu, and
I really enjoyed No Saratu. Bobby Eggs I think has
officially Robert Eggers has officially entered the cannon of like
(15:58):
directors who like just people will open them, like enough
people will go see the movie like whatever. Whatever he does.
It's like a weird vampire origin story, but it feels
like you're hermonetically sealed in like a different time, Like
it just feels so completely engrossing or hermetically hermetically hermonetically
(16:23):
is from Herman inside Herman's head. Hermetically yes, but anyways, uh,
it's it's real horny. This is real horny, dark vampire
origin story. A lot of people went and saw it.
Was like, I'm not that into this ship. But I'm
(16:44):
gonna go see it and really really enjoyed it. The
dragula count Orlock is there's this one shot of him
and I feel I feel like they were on the
verge of launching a sex symbol with this count Orlock guy.
And then they show him and he is walking around
on some flats like after I get done with some
(17:05):
chicken wing flats, Like they are just bare bones, just
bare bones down there, just like split over the bones.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
What this picture you put in for reference? It is
fucking you're so is this dude walking around like this.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
The whole movie? So all right here, here's the problem.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Is this spoilers or no?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Yeah, it's kind of spoilers, So I can't tell you exactly, you.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Know what do it spoiler free?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
You're not going to say exactly what you're looking at.
But he is revealed at the very end to you know,
you get to see the whole body. Yeah, he's he's
not working with much down there. He's been he's been
floating around too much, like just two inches off the ground.
I guess that's what happened to you. If you you know,
if you're just if you're just in a Spike Lee
(17:50):
tracking shot. Anytime you want to move around, you know,
that's I feel like that. Uh that's that's where you
end up. His legs are just so tiny. So anyways,
that was you know, I think ultimately No Spratu is
a good movie and a cautionary tale about like the
vampiric nature of like capitalism and sex. And but the
(18:14):
cautionary tale I took away is don't don't skip leg day.
Yeah yeah wow that's uh those are my two big ones.
And yeah, I started doing legs, started lifting legs, yeah, legs,
started doing started using my legs. The first time.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
You go too hard, you're like, oh man, I tore
my hamstring. Yeah, uh go easy, go easy on those legs.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Check, take care of them.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I do my best. What uh, Miles, what's something you
think is over eight? Is it the same as as me?
You have the same first is an.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Easy one though, just the amount of college bowl games.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Fucking wait, it's freaky. There's a Snoop Dog Bowl. I
was like, well, get this ship off. My's a Snoop
Dog Bowl.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
What I was like, this is the dummish, Like, now
nothing matters if there's a Snoop I love Snoop. Okay,
it's west Side all day here, but like the Snoop
Dog Bowl, I get it.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
He's become like a brand now and.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
He's actually I feel like one of those people who's
beloved by so many. But when I saw that, I
was like, this is okay, whatever, But I think, really
we shared the same one, which is just American New
Year's celebrations.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It's the fucking ball drop.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
The ball drop.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Man.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
We did a yeah, we did a kids and like
families New Year's party, so like at nine nine pm,
ball drop, and then I did that last year for
my kids. Yeah, it's fun, it's a it's a great
like just easy, no presh.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
We did that this year, and by the time our
New Year's hit, everybody's like, I kind of really.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Gave it up for the New Year's one. I'm gonna
be honest.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Oh yeah, we were done. We were everybody was in
bed by by the hour. New Year's for sure, good
for you. But yeah, so everybody at nine pm gather
around a TV cast you know, the ball drop from
a phone and it's it was like a feed that
didn't have like the like Andy's Andy Cohen Anderson Cooper
(20:07):
and so it was just like kind of b roll,
like you know, it was just footage of Times Square
and the ball was the star of the show. And
it it does not have it, baby, It lacks the
star power needed for its position at the center of
our national New Year's festivities. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Also, I had never heard of barely any of the
people that performed.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Oh I didn't. Did you see some of the I
didn't watch any of that ship I was. I just
came around for the ball drop.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
The Jonas brothers were there. But then there's someone called
like Cape again.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I'm old. I'm like, who the fuck is this? Who
the fuck is Mary?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I'm just so out of the loop with some some
music and shit. That's when I felt like, are am
I just totally washed? Or is this like New Year's washed?
And it certainly couldn't be me, So it had to
be the New Year's Eve balld.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I was reminded like so I watching it again with
my kids, I was reminded of the first time I
saw it, and how like you hear about a ball
drop and like I'm expecting every time I've seen a
ball drop in reality, it drops with some speed, some
kinetic energy, some excitement, Like this ball just goes like
(21:22):
it ticks downwards in a way that like, until I
rewatched a second time for this overrated, I didn't even
realize it was moving. Like it's just it's so slow.
It's just like slowly like ticking down. Did you see that? Okay? Year?
I was like, what yo? This year? This year they
(21:43):
had a JumboTron at the bottom with like a sub
PowerPoint display quality graphic saying Happy New Year twenty twenty five,
presented by font Yeah and air. It was such shit.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, it was bad.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
The ball is too small. It's like I feel like
I don't know if it's like they're trying, like trying
to take a picture of the moon or something like
you know how the moon looks big and then you
try and take a picture and you're like, oh that
looks like shit.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah I don't see the picture, Like no, never mind.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Never never mind. I think you look at this picture
of the moon I just took. But yeah, I don't know.
It's not impressive. It doesn't work. It just feels it
feels like probably the same people have been in charge
of the ball drop for like since the seventies or something.
And they have like their own internal rules about like
(22:33):
the integrity of the ball.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Drop saying this. Yeah, I've been saying this for a
long time. We need an outsider to come shake up
Times Square. Yes you know what I mean, and drain
the swap.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
We need to know that idea is brainstorm session to
really just be like the shit is over.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
You know, it's funny, we checked the boise Idaho over.
They drop a potato.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
That's fun and I'm actually stupid.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Fun Yeah, little potato. I'm like, all right, cool whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Either way, I think it's just sort of the anticipation
of it all, like it all hinges on like this
one moment, like as I watched the New Year's New
Year's Eve thing, like do you really want to be there?
You just want to say you were there for the
Times Square New Year's Eve thing because it just feels
like with all those people.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Like whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I don't know if that's the most fun way to
do it. I think it all depends on your personality.
I prefer like at this point, like I'm barely even
drinking anymore, so like all like the revelry around it,
I'm less like stoked for.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
And like, yeah, they fucking New Years.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, to more shift to like a Japanese version where
it's like, yeah, I don't know, like maybe the sunrise
for the first sunrise of twenty twenty five is the
most important thing you can like experience. That's a huge thing,
is to watch the sun the first sunrise, and like
looking forward, where a lot of American stuff's like, let's
take a look back, like there were so many retrospectives
(23:51):
on like the shitty year that we had, and I'm like, yeah,
and while that's all important, I think there's a time
to say, like let's renew ourselves for the new year
and then and really just emphasize like the actual New
Year's Day.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
But hey, that's just.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Me ows with this world of airs. I mean, Brian
the editor has a pitch that already destroys the ball drop,
which is the ball should be replaced with the Rube
Goldberg machine.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Oh my god, could you imagine one that you set
off like twelve hours before, like in another part of
the country and it makes its way to fucking Rime Square.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Yeah, like or yeah, I don't know, this is.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
What we this is what America fucking.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Needs right now.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You, I mean, we also need healthcare, and we also
need more, you know, we need to do somebody inequality.
But this feels like a very Democrat idea that they
fucked up, or they can like, you.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Know what we need.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
It's something that unites the country by creating your giant
Rube Goldberg.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Christian Yeah, one domino doesn't fall like fuck.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
I mean, we are fucked so at least to be honest.
I also like, why why not drones? You know, maybe
this is a way to acclimate the people who aren't
familiar with drones to the like possibilities of drones like this,
you know, so that people could stop freaking the fuck
out every time they see it drone. I don't know,
(25:19):
just ideas here Times Square hit us up? Is it
put on? Who in Times Square? Do you think it
is it? Eric Adams? Do we think it's.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
It's definitely coasting off Credit Card Company.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I feel like the reason it has survived this long
in its current state is because it has been viewed
by on like ninety eight percent people with like beer goggles,
you know, like nobody is sober looking at that shit
except for the West coast and even then, so like
(25:53):
that's it's coasting off. Of that, but like, you know
how easy it is to like impress drunk people, like,
let's get a little something extra. Whoa guys, the balls.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Dropping, the sober person ext It's like creeping.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
It's more creeping. It's been falling for the last ten minutes.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Man, who.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Love New York? Yeah did you see so? Brian just
added some giant like drone displays, the biggest drone display
Guinness World record holder biggest drone display into the chat
and it's incredible. It looks awesome. It looks like you're
watching like the movie Avatar come to life in front
(26:36):
of you, Like all right, I'm a massive scale all right,
go go home Avatar.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Oh shit, Yeah, this is like too much. Man, we
couldn't handle. America doesn't deserve this.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
They need like something you can't really handle. On psychedelics.
I think it was like the.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Bad but then Americans just.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Yeah, the h there's also the Halloween display from Dubai
from like a few years back that is so wild,
so dope. A lot of people after we talked about
the New Jersey drone scare, a lot of people were
sending that our way. Yeah that is and.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
That was even scarier and I still think it's aliens.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Yeah, Miles has not changed.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
It's so literal. They're trying to tell us something. Jack,
They're going to kill us.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
All right, let's uh, let's take a quick break and
we'll be right back. And we're back. We're so big
stories that we missed, big stories. Uh. There were on
(27:49):
New Year's Day two terror attacks that were initially greeted
as basically right wing talking points. There was the one
in New Orleans where a truck drove into a crowd
of people and then a person who rented a cyber
truck and detonated him in front of Trump's hotel. People
(28:13):
were immediately like that first one, the New Orleans one
was actually crossed the border two days ago. Turns out
it was two weeks ago. Turns out it was a
rented car, so it was not the person who ultimately
committed the terror attack was not the person who was
in it at that time. But they were just so
so quick to jump in the open borders. That's what's happened.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
This person came in through the border. Yeah, did this
spoiler alert It was an American born Army veteran Texas
native who was who did declare said that he had
recently joined isis. But again the idea that it's like
this person came over the word it's like no, no, no, man, Like,
we're pretty good at creating people like this in the
(28:58):
United States, for whatever reason, because of the access to
all kinds of terrible things, and also the army veteran
thing too. I was just reading this like thing in
the intercept about how US military service is like one
of the strongest predictors for.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Being a perpetrator in a mass casualty event.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
So in both of those instances, we had people who
had been in the military, and I think the other
guy in Vegas was like struggling with PTSD and a
lot of people turn that one into like.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
That was an attack on MAGA.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
It's clear what was supposed to happen there, And again
this is what happens when the media doesn't fucking tell
people what's going on. If they bothered to talk about
this guy's own manifesto, which I haven't seen published in
many places, but in that he's very clearly talking about
how like this was meant to be some kind of
like MAGA wake up call with the explosion, and that's
(29:53):
why he did it in a cyber truck in front
of a Trump tower with fireworks, because he said that
was the way to capture people's attention, and he railed
against like DEI but was also like also had those
like like sort of like working class grievances too, like
we're not supporting people. But then also, yeah, you know
the Dems need to be fucking per like cold from society.
(30:15):
So yeah, there we got a lot of interesting takes
out of those stories, for sure.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean that one like felt it
was like a cyber truck in front of Trump tower
like that seems like a pretty clear message, but it's
just again it's just uh yeah, in fact, it wasn't
a clear message. It was not the thing that you
thought it was, and in fact it is basically a
(30:40):
lot of the right wing and you know, war mongering
ideologies of America kind of coming home to metastasize. All right,
moving along, obviously, these are stories that are going to
like kind of continue to resonate. But just checking in
with uh, well, get that Gates.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
That Gates report came out when we were on break,
and it confirmed everything we already knew.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Yes, like real truly you're like, uh.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Yeah, yeah, I like how that's just when we glossed over.
I mean, I get it, it happened weeks ago. But
I think for anyone who was curious, like, well happened
the gate Sport it came out, They're like, yeah, we
believe he was having sex with underaged kids, trafficking people,
sending money, every.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Sending money to doing drugs. Yes, but that one gets
swept under the rug and everything about the You know
that this guy has a manifesto about how democrats demoncrats
need to be culled from the planet. Yeah, yeah, yahs
faratu instead of notes. Oh. I don't know. It's just
(31:43):
a thing that I'm trying. That movie did incredibly well,
which is having seen it. Did you see it most
sever yet? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
I just I someone with just very large legs. That
image that you shared was jarring, and I don't know
if I can handle it.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I can't. I simply can't.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
If my calves looked like just tib and fib, I
would I think I'd be very sad.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
But I do feel like this guy, this director, he's
the maker of The Witch, the Vi, the or the Witch,
the Northman, the Light lighthouse, right and yeah, yeah, and
this like, I don't know, it's wild to me that
this blew up as much as it did.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I had so many people hitting me up saying, let's go,
let's go watch Noceratu on shrooms, and I was.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Like absolutely like that. It feels like you're on shrooms
a little bit watching it, Like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I don't know why I need to augment like certain filmmakers.
I'm like, I don't need to augment this. My perception
of it. In fact, would rather see it quite clear eyed. Yeah,
but no, I did not get to see it. But
now that you know, I don't know, I'm back and forth.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Zeigang.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
If you say I must see it and you think
I would like it despite what Jack Field to me,
then I will give it a shot.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
I definitely recommend it is there's one scene where he
just like one of the characters enters this town and
everyone is like dancing and playing an instrument for him
while like making unblinking eye contact, and it's just it
feels like so weird and surreal, but also like it
feels like a thing that would happen. Yeah, and olden times,
(33:27):
like they're just like, oh, a traveler.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Ah, let's serenade him with tambourine playing.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Yeah, just like the weird texture of life. Like there
were some big articles written about like the how he
researches and you know, gets nails the details of everyday life.
But uh, definitely worth checking out if you haven't already,
and a lot of people did check it out. Drone
fever over New Jersey. He seems to have gotten quieter.
(33:58):
I lean the manifesto hope from the guy in Vegas
did I think mention the drones and was like, those
are about to be revealed to be a Chinese military operation,
but other than that, not many. I just like I
googled New Jersey drones and on like the news tab
(34:18):
of Google, and it went from two weeks ago, mystery
drone sightings continue in New Jersey and across the US.
Here's what we know to two days ago. And it's
just a list of towns in New Jersey where the
Feds have said you can't fly drones anymore. So it's
just they put a ban in place, and suddenly it
stopped being a story. It feels like what happened? But what?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
But so the aliens?
Speaker 3 (34:45):
So I think just transdimensional aliens respect our federal bands.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
So they're fucking so they're boot liquors.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Fuck these aliens, bro.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Oh, just because the Feds told you now you're going
to stop, these aren't the aliens I want?
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Yeah, nope, nope.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
I read one of the articles from two days ago
about the bands and it's citing it as a mystery.
It's like the you know, the Strone mystery that nobody
can explain. But like the only videos they have are
like from well before the band, So right, it's like,
so whatever was happening when they put an fa ban
(35:25):
in place, the whatever nefarious element transdimensional It was a
lot of people's theory, like respected the ban and decided
to stop flying the drones, almost as if it was
just people flying drones for fun, because that's the thing
you can do.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
No, it could be that too, It could be that
to Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
I feel like it fits with like Havana syndrome and
like the Chinese spy balloon where they tell you just
enough of the details to convince you there's something weird
and then it like goes away and nobody really like
with the Chinese spy balloon, and like the drones I
feel like people are less likely to follow up on it, I.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Know, because this becomes one of those things like you
kind of don't care like what the truth is, Like
it's just like.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Fun to be like what about all those drones?
Speaker 2 (36:15):
It's probably just drones, right, and then like it could
be cool hah, And then once the truth comes out,
you like, yeah, whatever.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Whatever turns out it's not cool, but yeah, it's just
the Internet like writing fan fiction into the news into reality,
like coming out with the most exciting, interesting interpretation and
just like willing it to be so. And yeah, we'll see,
we'll see where this story. We're gonna stay on top
of it though.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Yeah, we'll see if there's any more like proletarian sort
of violence happening. And then the drones come back or something, and.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Look over there, look at this one, so the shape
of big skeleton there.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
I was reading an article about how they're like on
the internet, there's just so much pro Luigi Mangioni content
places like YouTube, like like I don't even don't even
know what to fucking do, Like how do you moderate
all this shit?
Speaker 3 (37:02):
So what do we do? We do? You guys? What
reality do do these people live?
Speaker 1 (37:06):
In surely not the one I live in with.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Yeah, I messed up stuff. It messed up the visas
H one visas. This was one of the real big
mainstream news story. Yeah, where Trump and Musk got were
they were? They mad at each other.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
It was like Trump stayed silent, right, So Trump and
must basically spent the whole summer and fall screaming about.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
How immigrants bad.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Sure, but then Musk had to show his capitalist asked
when he was like, well, let me reverse course. Here'm like, well,
except for the immigrants that helped me make money, sure,
like I need talented people like engineers to do this
shit because obviously all Americans are so stupid I can't
even hire y'all. And so when he was backing the
H one B visas, so many people were.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Like what happened?
Speaker 2 (37:54):
I thought we were I thought we were shutting it down.
No immigration anymore, Like this is taking jobs away from
white people.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
And that whole that created like.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
A whole internal war where he was like shitting on
these maga people for like like being too stupid to understand,
like why you need these kinds of workers for your companies?
And then Trump acted like fash daddy on the road
trip in the fucking station wag. It was like, hey,
don't make me come back there, and just said, hey,
calm down, MAGA, I too think H one B visas
(38:23):
are the ship as well, So no more arguments, and
that kind of simmered off and that worked for that.
I mean, there's still that there's still plenty of people
who disagree, but that sort of like the flashpoint has
subsided a bit. But I think all this does is
reveal we're starting to just see how all there's all
these like like these warring factions within the MAGA movement
(38:46):
right that are just not on the same page at
fucking all in terms of how to like what to
do with their power. And like I did the thing
where I like to go calmb them, you know, message
boards and comment sections on conservative news and shit like that.
And it's interesting to see like the people be like
they're like in disbeliefd like, but Trump said he was
(39:07):
going to stop immigration and and he's not.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
It's like he doesn't mean what he was.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Yeah, and then some people were like, look exactly, he's
all about making Then it's interesting to see this a
little bit of awareness come out to where it's like,
of course he's going to side with Elon because it's
all about making the rich people richer.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
He's like all this stuff. You never know what these
people so, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I think a lot of lessons will not be learned
over the next few years.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
But themselves, the Prestol's figuring out how to not learn
those lessons. Let's take a quick break and we'll be
right back. And we're back. We're back. The Golden Globe
(39:55):
happened last night. The brutalist won for drama. That is,
I was the wanting to hear a three and a
half hour long movie, so I want to watch that.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
I was criminally out of the loop this year from
the on these I.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Saw. I haven't seen Anore yet. I want to see Anora.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
I saw Anora.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
How did you see that? Was that server?
Speaker 2 (40:16):
No?
Speaker 3 (40:16):
No, well, okay, it is.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
It's on the server on the server now.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
But I couldn't wait and I and I actually did.
I ended up renting that one. But yeah, that was
so when the Brutalists kept winning, go what is this?
Speaker 3 (40:29):
This is a movie? The whole time, I.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Just I had it on with Wlislim friends over and
I was like, wow, okay, shout out the brutalist cleaning up.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
It's about an architect and uh it's not written by
Iron Rand, so okay, I only read architectural stories that
Iron Rand my favorite author.
Speaker 7 (40:50):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
But Deni Moore won for the substance. Did you see that?
No I told you that heavybody or like that? Oh
is it?
Speaker 5 (41:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Oh is it about something about like turning into like
a younger person.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
Yeah yeah, it's like yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
People were saying, is kind of Cronenberg.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
Ye, yeah, it's definitely. It's got the the berg. It's
in cronenberg Gian. But yeah, day wore One described in
detail the moment that a producer branded her a quote
popcorn actress and how that one comment just like eight
at her self esteem for like decades. It was just
(41:30):
I don't know, I just I feel like we all
have those things where like someone says something judge, maybe
like offhandedly, or maybe they're just like a you know, sociopath,
and like just some part of our brain just like
traps it, like the idea and inception and like you
just can't get it out right right right, yeah, getting
to exercise that demon you know?
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean she finally won. You know,
she's had such a career, you know, I'm glad.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
I'm glad she won.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Uh Man.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Also, I want to see that Pamela Anderson movie everyone
said was pretty.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
The Last Show Girl, the Last Show.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
Love the the and Andersans that we're seeing. But yeah,
this the weird those side angle stage things were a
little interest Like even as a viewer on TV, there
were these moments where that people would come out to
present and they were nearly like chest to chest, like
for how close they were.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
I was like, this is a little bit odd in
terms of the know.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
You guys shoot this in a closet, Like those places
are always smaller than you think they are, like when
you actually see them in person, Like have you ever
been to like a late night studio I'm sure yeah. Yeah,
like those things.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Or even like Saturday Night Live, you're like, whoa, this
is tiny in here.
Speaker 3 (42:48):
Yeah. Yeah, it's like you could fit the entire set
on your desk, right. But yeah, Seth Rogan I got
called out the weird camera work, like the presenters were
shot facing the side of the stage, so the audience.
It's it's a thing that like a lot of awards
shows do where they'll like have these like little interstitials
(43:09):
where people are like kind of it's usually reserved for
like the people like coming back for break. They're like,
and we have Mario Lopez over here, and he's just like, hello,
see guys, I'm out here in the crowd. But in
this case, it was like most of the presenters were
just like standing there to the side, not facing the audience,
(43:29):
and then the audience was like at a like diagonal
angle behind them, and so Seth rogen like, like, what
the fuck are you guys doing? He said, hello, I
want to start by saying, this whole angled camera thing
is very weird. It's inelegant, it's strange. This whole half
of the room can see my bald spot. I would
(43:49):
have filled that in. I said no, and I regret
that now completely. Oh man. But yeah, Nikki Glazer hosted
Killed It.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
Killed It. They're pretty great good.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
I think really brought the fun element back to the
award show. He did a really good job of that.
That one bit where she was about to do like
the musical thing with the pope thing and then got
interrupted by a phone call.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
She's like what this Oh this bit sucks?
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Oh shit, Well, what about like all these there was
just some really good comedic moments and yeah, the I
don't know, just tell you.
Speaker 3 (44:22):
What wouldn't have happened on Ricky Gervais's watch.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
Oh that fucking guy just shut up already? What is
he like live tweeting his.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
Brutal live tweeting, And he was like, I'll tell you
what I would have said. Uh as she was like
killing it, like everybody was just like, this is great.
She's doing a great job. This is a lot of fun.
He was live tweeting it, being like, uh, yeah, if
they had asked me to host, they didn't, Yeah, I
would have said a little something like this, hello, and
(44:50):
welcome to the eighty second Golden Globe Awards. What a
year it's been. Hundreds of entertainers jumped at the chance
to go to the Vatican to meet the Pope, many
from Hollywood. Obviously they weren't content with only being part
of the second biggest pet o ring in the world. Great, yeah,
for sure, there's like that's definitely like there's a lot
(45:12):
of fucking creepy people in Hollywood. What is the hook?
Speaker 1 (45:17):
They did it two days before? Okay, that makes sense.
It wasn't Live.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
He was preemptively being like, allow me to get ahead
of this thing with my musings.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
With my premise that did a lot of entertainers visit
the Pope this year, like a lot of movie stars.
What the fuck is he talking?
Speaker 2 (45:35):
I feel like we're pretty up on papal events.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
Oh man, you know we're big. I mean, you don't.
You don't think I would have come up in the
Pope watch segment of our show, No Pope Watch Watch
the Pope Zone.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
I just I think another way, just for him to
do like his fucking weird like not funny anymore, Ricky
Gervais ship.
Speaker 3 (45:57):
Yeah, god, he's Oh my god, can he say that? Yeah? No, no,
Like she made jokes about there being a room full
of sexual abusers the whole time, but just like did
it without having to make up a premise that they
all went and visited the Pope that year.
Speaker 2 (46:13):
So much like weird homophobic shit, like he talked about
Justin timberl He said, Justin Timberlake was convicted of drink driving.
If he'd have gone to jail, he'd have heard the
words sexy back a lot more often.
Speaker 3 (46:25):
Uh huh oh. And then he would take a sip
of his beer because he like, he doesn't that dude. Yeah, dude,
he doesn't give a fuck.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
Yeah, Well, Ricky shut up, Niki, thanks, and Jimmy a
fond farewell.
Speaker 3 (46:40):
Jimmy Carter Uh died at the age of one hundred
damn keeping it one hundred. Am I right, folks, I'm young. Precisely,
there's Uh. As a writer JM mcknab pointed out, there's
old and then there's outliving your own obituary writers old
(47:00):
because news outlets keep a oh bit for major world
figures on ice at all times, and a number of
the people who had written his obituary back in like
the eighties and nineties and even early two thousands are
now deceased themselves. So yeah, that's wow. He did it, Jimmy,
(47:23):
he did it.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
He did.
Speaker 3 (47:24):
He did it, he said, just despite them, he said,
them writing that obituary about him. He took that personally. Yeah, like,
I'm ja shut up. Michael Jordan, Yeah yeah, yeah, but
what some like, I feel like Trump would gets so
mad if he knew that they were writing his obituary.
He would be like so much.
Speaker 2 (47:41):
Just yeah, someone weather balloon that story. Yeah, yeah, just
to be like, oh wow, we've seen a few of
the Trump obituaries and they are not nice. And it's
like a scrooge situation, is like I want my obituary
to be nice.
Speaker 3 (47:55):
What must I do? Yeah, I mean we should try it.
We need to try everything, folks.
Speaker 2 (48:00):
We need to try everything except you know, coordinated organized action.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's doings two fun punks on him.
So state funerals are basically like the Coachella of funerals.
It will stretch on for days. It kicked off in
Georgia over the weekend and this week. All five living presidents,
including Trump, are expected to come to the big funeral
service at Washington National Cathedral, and Biden had preemptively bragged
(48:29):
that Carter had asked him to eulogize him, which would
be really weird if like that wasn't true and he
was just lying about that. But he was like, ah,
I shouldn't said that, shouldn't have said that, But yeah,
he wants me to say a few words.
Speaker 2 (48:43):
That sounds like they kind of lie, like a sociopath
would say, like at a funeral. They're like, I don't
know if you guys know this, but Jimmy actually wanted
me to give the eulogy today.
Speaker 1 (48:51):
I don't know if you told you guys that, but
that was one of the last thing he said to me.
So is it cool if I go up there?
Speaker 2 (48:56):
Yeah, serie, play Fiend by Travis Scott featuring playbook Car.
Speaker 3 (49:02):
I do want that play at my funeral please. Trump
also found a way, of course, to make Jimmy Carr's
death all about him. He's been complaining on tree social
that all the flags will be at half masked during
his inauguration, which traditionally they're flown at half mass for
thirty days during a period of national mourning, and Trump said,
(49:25):
because of the death of President Jimmy Carter, the flags may,
for the first time ever during inauguration of a future
president be at half masked. Nobody wants to see this,
and no America, no American, can be happy about it.
Let's see how it plays out. Make America great.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
Nobody gives a shit man, Yeah, well, I mean he
probably sees it as some kind of metaphor for.
Speaker 1 (49:50):
His penis or something.
Speaker 3 (49:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
They have to be fully erect at their highest levels
when I take office or else.
Speaker 3 (49:57):
They'll know, they'll know it is just a sort of
dumb ship that would obviously destroy Like really, it's.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
Like from what you said in the cold open, like
loud loud pee thick pea stream equals big peepee.
Speaker 3 (50:13):
Ye Trump, I bet you could really get him with
that shit.
Speaker 2 (50:16):
Flags at half mast means mushroom.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
The mushroom rumors are true.
Speaker 3 (50:21):
The mushroomors are true. Also, like, he also criticized Democrats
for feeling giddy over the prospect of the flags being
at half mast. It's just like nobody's like thinking about
it at all but him. This is a quote which
I love. They think it's so great and are so
happy about it, because in actuality, they don't love our
(50:43):
country so happy.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
Yeah, he should have just said they were always against me.
Speaker 3 (50:51):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (50:52):
It is basically what you're saying, they were always against me.
I get it, and that's what you think. Yeah, sure,
we're all against you though, bro.
Speaker 3 (50:58):
Spoiler alert. All right, so are some of the things
that are trending that happened over the break. We are
back to our regularly scheduled program. Will be back tomorrow
with a couple episodes of the show. Until then, be
kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get your vaccines,
get your fee shots, don't do nothing about white supremacy,
(51:21):
and we will our tomorrow fight bite
Every day.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I was like, fuck, why is this crazy shit happening?
And then I'm like maybe it won't matter, and I'm like, yeah,
it does.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
It all does. Like the Golden Globes.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
I watched it if it were not people over.
Speaker 2 (00:19):

tea hair. Now Jean paul O t air Colonne filled
the air.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
They say he's stupid, he big headed.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Would you please stop talking about how my dick headed.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
That was one of my least favorite lines from him.
That sounds it just sounded like a giant come out. Yeah.
It sounded like a fifth grader trying to brag about
his dick for the first time.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
And we have a huge dickhead. Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
I was the one peeing like outdoors next to a friend,
and he was like, oh, little peace Stream, little dick,
that's what that means. Uh. I was like, all right, man.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Also, what house did this person grow up? Like you?

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Hey, let's go to the local fucking toilets and go

Nope, nope, Oh god, what happened?
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Also, bro, why are you looking at me? Just enjoy
your bro, We're just watching the sixers. Stop. Get back
out there, get.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Back out there.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
He was never good.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
He was never good.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
He was just I think he had like it was like, really,
I have some friends who are like that, who just
like are constantly saying ship and like, half of the
time is really funny and half of the time it's cringe,
you know, crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Yeah, he's definitely like a broken clock type wrapper or something.
And then other times you're like, that's a bar. Wait
on the top of his diny table. What full this
Vogue party? And I get bleach your asshole? You get
T shirt and you're like what what bleach your asshole?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I'm like, an ass Why would that make you feel
like an asshole? Of all the things you should definitely
feel like an asshole for so many things.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Is one of those albums though, that I think perfectly
encapsulates that, where you're half the time like what the
fuck and then other times like okay.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah, yeah, okay. The music is good, the rapping is
frequently I will.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Never I will never shade him on the door, but
his always shade him on his fucking terrible lyrics.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Wait. So Coyle Dropout was the first one, then Late
Registration was the second. I remember like I was so
excited for that. I was like reading magat like paper
magazine articles about the make of it and like what
was happening? And I remember one report from the making
of Late Registration where they were like, he is he
(04:09):
has the whole album, but like fifty percent of the
verses are just him being like the shapes. Yeah, he's
the Shapes, but he didn't have the words yet I
was like that having so much sense.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
I hear that a lot with like singer songwriters where
it's like, yeah, the words are secondari it's like, yeah
a rapper.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
First, Yeah, unless you're so percussive with your flow that like.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
You said to like, then I'll figure it out. But
it's like, no, not that, not in that old brain.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Wait, when are we going to get a rapper that
does only glossalalia gloss where it's like it's like cigarettes
where it's just fake words.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Yeah, wait, cigarette's not speaking a language, you know, they're
singing singing nonsense words. Yeah, they got so bad. Was
like Iceland, right, yeah, wow a language they call it
Hopeland or some ship like that.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I think, Wow, that's like the there's this one TikTok
I love. It's just these German dudes who are like
in a car spitting gibberish like what they think American
rat rat Yeah, panetic, And it's like kind of dope
because you're like, oh I don't actually don't like in
a weird and I'm like, yeah, that goes hard, Like
(05:31):
I could listen to an album with that.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
We're sid the laughing around like a bath plank.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
The fang of christin ranks the hold.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
It's definitely.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
What time.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
You do.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Gotta hip the praying, you gotta rip the frame, bro
west Side.
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this Monday morning week
trend break trend edition of journ.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
My was just stretched out like a little cartoon character
waking up from a nap as you did that a little.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I'm just a little news hungry sweet bab waiting to
talk about.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
All the good and the bad. Oh yeah, wow, what
a sung I had.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
I missed a lot of stories. Turns out I'm coming.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I told you, I'm coming into this thing, dry Jack,
I don't know what the fuck happened.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
To catch me. January is about, right, dry January?
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Avoid all contact with humans soliciation.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That's right. My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there
is Miles Gray. Yes, we hope everybody had a wonderful holiday.
Wonderful you know if you celebrate that. If not, we
hope you just had a good couple of weeks taking
a break from hearing our voices live. But now we're back.
But now we're back, you can't bite us assholes. We
(07:19):
hope you enjoyed that extended cold open as we so
we just like ease ourselves back into the cold pool
of the zeitgeists. Yeah, or maybe it's like a hot
time what is it too hot? The hot tub is
a little little subjective. It is all subjective. Thank you
for that, Miles, broken hot tub, says Brian, the editor
(07:43):
hot Tub time Machine. All right, so let's just like
blast through a handful of stories that happened over the
break Well.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
What did you can completely forget the form of the
show here?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Oh shit, that's right.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
You don't even want to get to know me a
little bit better?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
To get to know us a little me tell you
some of the things that happened over the weekend. Do
I have that right in this case, over the past
two and a half weeks and plus fifteen minutes of nonsense?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
But first we do like to let you guys get
to know us a little bit better by telling you
some things we think are over and underrated. We often
do over it and underrated with the guest. I'm going
to over explain everything because.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
I need to be reminded. And you're Jack and I
am Jack. And look at your underwear. Look at your underwear,
Look at the label I'm Haynes, I'm Alvin Klein.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Oh, Calvin, Calvin ke back, all right, But first, Miles,
we tell the people what we think is underrated, what
we think is overrated. What you got, you got anything you.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Underrated?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
A few things I think like you with many observations
hit us and we them. For this moment, I will
start off with the convenience of watching movies that are
out in theaters on your couch.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
It's a slippery slope, y'all.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
I love going to move to the movies, I always will,
but the ease at which you can summon a new
movie and watch it on the couch almost had me thinking,
why do I bother going to the theater? Yea, but
then you want to go and rent that shit on
your couch And I still can't wrap my head around
renting of a temporary stream from like an Apple TV
(09:31):
or whatever for twenty dollars. It's like, somehow I can't
even fathom that it's cheaper than actually going to the movies.
I'm like, no, no, no, twenty dollars to rent. I go, Brian,
is this on the server?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yeah? Plus, you always get mad that I'm laughing at
inappropriate moments when I'm taking the video of the movie exactly,
I watch and then send to you.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
I mean, thank you for sending me that nas Faratu
screen cap, but did you did you just film that
off your TV?
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Either or But yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
That's one.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
I'm just gonna get through all these. The next one
la weather and how I perceive winter. We all know
I am obsessed with the cold and not and basically
getting my whole shit frost bit.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Okay reference to Jack getting his whole shit bit by.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yeah, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
All I could talk about this break with people who
weren't from LA was what is.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Your winter like in the land where you come from?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
And then I went to Colorado.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
The thing basically, what I noticed was a lot of
places that get snow weren't getting snow as like sort
of around the typical time, thanks climate change. I was
also reading about how snow days are like becoming less
and less of a frequent occurrence, and now black people,
I never knew about that. I didn't even know that
was a fucking thing. But when I know that from movies,
which has shaped my entire idea of what winter is,
(10:50):
because I thought, basically, when December hits everywhere is a
winter wonderland. Turns out that's not true. Earth has different patterns.
But anyway, I just I just have to say I
was just I went to skate on a frozen lake
and that shit was so whimsical I had to skate
it in a minute.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Wait, where were you?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I went to Colorado for a couple of days.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Shot Ian, shot Kelly, you know, shout out the whole
crew out there, and we skated on a frozen lake.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
That shit was so fun.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
But then I was also talking to someone else who's
from the East Coast and like, I used to do
this all the time, but the lakes don't freeze over
with the same frequency they did as a kid, and
like the kids in my town, like my town growing up,
don't kind of know the same way we used to
do winter. And then I had like this like weird
blade runner moment where I'm like just like shedding a
tear for like everything and everyone I'd been through. It
got kind of kind kind of grim. As I stated
(11:37):
on this lake, I thought a lot about climate change
out here.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Gobbling people up. Yeah, yeah they are. I'm just saying like,
maybe maybe it would help with the climate catastrophe if
we had ways to dramatize it. No snow days and
lakes are gobbling people up who try.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
And I think I think it also makes it a
little bit different me because like, I'm so used to
the one note climate that I'm not realizing how wacky
the variations. I mean, I obviously know that intellectually that
earth death is happening in real time, but there's something
about living in la where you're just.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Kind of like, oh, it's not as cold in December.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
And then you go a little bit further up, like
where there's usually like Big Bear where their ski season
is like getting destroyed like year after year because of
the lack of snowfall.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
All that to say my next underrated beef tallow get
in folks. I made a roasted a lot of holiday meat,
rendered the fat, and I've used it to make frozen
hash browns tastier okay, grilled cheese sandoz from Okay, because
they're so fucking beef fatty Okay, the way a grill
them and the vibe of steak and eggs with just
(12:48):
eggs and using the beef tallo to fry the eggs anyway.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
You're rendering the fat just by like cooking a steak
on a grill on a you know.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Like I made like a I made a prime rib
roast like for a Smiths, And so all the fat
trimming and leftover fat from that meal, I just cut
up into small pieces and just put that on low heat, all.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
The fat, just to get all that fat out.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Then you strain it and now you have just the
essence of beef flavor that you can use to do
anything with.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
So anyway, so I think.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
I'm raising a couple miles is in the in the
sense of, like really I took I drove, just me
and my boys went up to Sequoia National Park. I
was really excited about the big trees. I was like, damn,
look how big those trees are. Those trees are huge.
And kids, guys, they were into that, but like really
(13:39):
what they were They just like there was a a
field with snow in it, and they just like went
and lots wanted to play in the snow the whole
time and just like pick up chunks of ice and
hit hit piles of snow with sticks.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
The geist child every time we saw snow, he go
Santa Santa Santa, because like a couple of like the
weird you know Santa things that we saw always have
like these very winter depictions and he meet his like.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Santa and I'm like, nah, Son, that's just snow.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
That's snow. We don't know, we know not of snow
come from? All right, my underrated leg day so crazy
this this is a weird run. But one basketball podcast
I listened to The Flagrant Ones hosted by a friend
of the show, Carl Tart, friend of the show Hayes Davenport.
(14:32):
The third host who we should have on at some
point but have not, ye Shawn Clements. Uh So, Sean
Clements was talking about this tennis movie he wrote and
that just wrapped that he was shooting. And they had
as like a tennis consultant, the number one tennis coach
(14:52):
in America, like in pros there to consult and he
was like, is really what he's like? Great guy, but
he kept talking about men's legs and he was just
obsessed with legs and like, and they like had a
professional tennis player come in and they were like talking
about how the coaches about all about legs and the
(15:14):
professional tennis players Like, guys, let me stop you right there.
I would love to join it and make fun of him,
but like, I'm also obsessed with men's legs, and apparently
like just having real some plumper rocks down there is
what actually like makes you a great tennis player, which
isn't what I would I would assume you just go
out there looking like Popeye, big arms, tiny tiny legs
(15:36):
and just whacking that thing around. But apparently it's all
about legs. So it got me checking checking some legs.
And then I went and saw No s Faratu, and
I really enjoyed No Saratu. Bobby Eggs I think has
officially Robert Eggers has officially entered the cannon of like
(15:58):
directors who like just people will open them, like enough
people will go see the movie like whatever. Whatever he does.
It's like a weird vampire origin story, but it feels
like you're hermonetically sealed in like a different time, Like
it just feels so completely engrossing or hermetically hermetically hermonetically
(16:23):
is from Herman inside Herman's head. Hermetically yes, but anyways, uh,
it's it's real horny. This is real horny, dark vampire
origin story. A lot of people went and saw it.
Was like, I'm not that into this ship. But I'm
(16:44):
gonna go see it and really really enjoyed it. The
dragula count Orlock is there's this one shot of him
and I feel I feel like they were on the
verge of launching a sex symbol with this count Orlock guy.
And then they show him and he is walking around
on some flats like after I get done with some
(17:05):
chicken wing flats, Like they are just bare bones, just
bare bones down there, just like split over the bones.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
What this picture you put in for reference? It is
fucking you're so is this dude walking around like this.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
The whole movie? So all right here, here's the problem.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Is this spoilers or no?
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Yeah, it's kind of spoilers, So I can't tell you exactly, you.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Know what do it spoiler free?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
You're not going to say exactly what you're looking at.
But he is revealed at the very end to you know,
you get to see the whole body. Yeah, he's he's
not working with much down there. He's been he's been
floating around too much, like just two inches off the ground.
I guess that's what happened to you. If you you know,
if you're just if you're just in a Spike Lee
(17:50):
tracking shot. Anytime you want to move around, you know,
that's I feel like that. Uh that's that's where you
end up. His legs are just so tiny. So anyways,
that was you know, I think ultimately No Spratu is
a good movie and a cautionary tale about like the
vampiric nature of like capitalism and sex. And but the
(18:14):
cautionary tale I took away is don't don't skip leg day.
Yeah yeah wow that's uh those are my two big ones.
And yeah, I started doing legs, started lifting legs, yeah, legs,
started doing started using my legs. The first time.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
You go too hard, you're like, oh man, I tore
my hamstring. Yeah, uh go easy, go easy on those legs.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Check, take care of them.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
I do my best. What uh, Miles, what's something you
think is over eight? Is it the same as as me?
You have the same first is an.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Easy one though, just the amount of college bowl games.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Fucking wait, it's freaky. There's a Snoop Dog Bowl. I
was like, well, get this ship off. My's a Snoop
Dog Bowl.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
What I was like, this is the dummish, Like, now
nothing matters if there's a Snoop I love Snoop. Okay,
it's west Side all day here, but like the Snoop
Dog Bowl, I get it.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
He's become like a brand now and.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
He's actually I feel like one of those people who's
beloved by so many. But when I saw that, I
was like, this is okay, whatever, But I think, really
we shared the same one, which is just American New
Year's celebrations.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It's the fucking ball drop.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
The ball drop.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Man.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
We did a yeah, we did a kids and like
families New Year's party, so like at nine nine pm,
ball drop, and then I did that last year for
my kids. Yeah, it's fun, it's a it's a great
like just easy, no presh.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
We did that this year, and by the time our
New Year's hit, everybody's like, I kind of really.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Gave it up for the New Year's one. I'm gonna
be honest.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Oh yeah, we were done. We were everybody was in
bed by by the hour. New Year's for sure, good
for you. But yeah, so everybody at nine pm gather
around a TV cast you know, the ball drop from
a phone and it's it was like a feed that
didn't have like the like Andy's Andy Cohen Anderson Cooper
(20:07):
and so it was just like kind of b roll,
like you know, it was just footage of Times Square
and the ball was the star of the show. And
it it does not have it, baby, It lacks the
star power needed for its position at the center of
our national New Year's festivities. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Also, I had never heard of barely any of the
people that performed.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Oh I didn't. Did you see some of the I
didn't watch any of that ship I was. I just
came around for the ball drop.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
The Jonas brothers were there. But then there's someone called
like Cape again.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I'm old. I'm like, who the fuck is this? Who
the fuck is Mary?
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I'm just so out of the loop with some some
music and shit. That's when I felt like, are am
I just totally washed? Or is this like New Year's washed?
And it certainly couldn't be me, So it had to
be the New Year's Eve balld.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I was reminded like so I watching it again with
my kids, I was reminded of the first time I
saw it, and how like you hear about a ball
drop and like I'm expecting every time I've seen a
ball drop in reality, it drops with some speed, some
kinetic energy, some excitement, Like this ball just goes like
(21:22):
it ticks downwards in a way that like, until I
rewatched a second time for this overrated, I didn't even
realize it was moving. Like it's just it's so slow.
It's just like slowly like ticking down. Did you see that? Okay? Year?
I was like, what yo? This year? This year they
(21:43):
had a JumboTron at the bottom with like a sub
PowerPoint display quality graphic saying Happy New Year twenty twenty five,
presented by font Yeah and air. It was such shit.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, it was bad.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
The ball is too small. It's like I feel like
I don't know if it's like they're trying, like trying
to take a picture of the moon or something like
you know how the moon looks big and then you
try and take a picture and you're like, oh that
looks like shit.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah I don't see the picture, Like no, never mind.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
Never never mind. I think you look at this picture
of the moon I just took. But yeah, I don't know.
It's not impressive. It doesn't work. It just feels it
feels like probably the same people have been in charge
of the ball drop for like since the seventies or something.
And they have like their own internal rules about like
(22:33):
the integrity of the ball.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Drop saying this. Yeah, I've been saying this for a
long time. We need an outsider to come shake up
Times Square. Yes you know what I mean, and drain
the swap.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
We need to know that idea is brainstorm session to
really just be like the shit is over.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
You know, it's funny, we checked the boise Idaho over.
They drop a potato.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
That's fun and I'm actually stupid.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Fun Yeah, little potato. I'm like, all right, cool whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Either way, I think it's just sort of the anticipation
of it all, like it all hinges on like this
one moment, like as I watched the New Year's New
Year's Eve thing, like do you really want to be there?
You just want to say you were there for the
Times Square New Year's Eve thing because it just feels
like with all those people.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Like whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
I don't know if that's the most fun way to
do it. I think it all depends on your personality.
I prefer like at this point, like I'm barely even
drinking anymore, so like all like the revelry around it,
I'm less like stoked for.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
And like, yeah, they fucking New Years.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Yeah, to more shift to like a Japanese version where
it's like, yeah, I don't know, like maybe the sunrise
for the first sunrise of twenty twenty five is the
most important thing you can like experience. That's a huge thing,
is to watch the sun the first sunrise, and like
looking forward, where a lot of American stuff's like, let's
take a look back, like there were so many retrospectives
(23:51):
on like the shitty year that we had, and I'm like, yeah,
and while that's all important, I think there's a time
to say, like let's renew ourselves for the new year
and then and really just emphasize like the actual New
Year's Day.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
But hey, that's just.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Me ows with this world of airs. I mean, Brian
the editor has a pitch that already destroys the ball drop,
which is the ball should be replaced with the Rube
Goldberg machine.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Oh my god, could you imagine one that you set
off like twelve hours before, like in another part of
the country and it makes its way to fucking Rime Square.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Yeah, like or yeah, I don't know, this is.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
What we this is what America fucking.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Needs right now.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
You, I mean, we also need healthcare, and we also
need more, you know, we need to do somebody inequality.
But this feels like a very Democrat idea that they
fucked up, or they can like, you.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Know what we need.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
It's something that unites the country by creating your giant
Rube Goldberg.
Speaker 7 (24:45):
Christian Yeah, one domino doesn't fall like fuck.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
I mean, we are fucked so at least to be honest.
I also like, why why not drones? You know, maybe
this is a way to acclimate the people who aren't
familiar with drones to the like possibilities of drones like this,
you know, so that people could stop freaking the fuck
out every time they see it drone. I don't know,
(25:19):
just ideas here Times Square hit us up? Is it
put on? Who in Times Square? Do you think it
is it? Eric Adams? Do we think it's.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
It's definitely coasting off Credit Card Company.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I feel like the reason it has survived this long
in its current state is because it has been viewed
by on like ninety eight percent people with like beer goggles,
you know, like nobody is sober looking at that shit
except for the West coast and even then, so like
(25:53):
that's it's coasting off. Of that, but like, you know
how easy it is to like impress drunk people, like,
let's get a little something extra. Whoa guys, the balls.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Dropping, the sober person ext It's like creeping.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
It's more creeping. It's been falling for the last ten minutes.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
Man, who.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Love New York? Yeah did you see so? Brian just
added some giant like drone displays, the biggest drone display
Guinness World record holder biggest drone display into the chat
and it's incredible. It looks awesome. It looks like you're
watching like the movie Avatar come to life in front
(26:36):
of you, Like all right, I'm a massive scale all right,
go go home Avatar.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Oh shit, Yeah, this is like too much. Man, we
couldn't handle. America doesn't deserve this.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
They need like something you can't really handle. On psychedelics.
I think it was like the.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Bad but then Americans just.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
Yeah, the h there's also the Halloween display from Dubai
from like a few years back that is so wild,
so dope. A lot of people after we talked about
the New Jersey drone scare, a lot of people were
sending that our way. Yeah that is and.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
That was even scarier and I still think it's aliens.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Yeah, Miles has not changed.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
It's so literal. They're trying to tell us something. Jack,
They're going to kill us.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
All right, let's uh, let's take a quick break and
we'll be right back. And we're back. We're so big
stories that we missed, big stories. Uh. There were on
(27:49):
New Year's Day two terror attacks that were initially greeted
as basically right wing talking points. There was the one
in New Orleans where a truck drove into a crowd
of people and then a person who rented a cyber
truck and detonated him in front of Trump's hotel. People
(28:13):
were immediately like that first one, the New Orleans one
was actually crossed the border two days ago. Turns out
it was two weeks ago. Turns out it was a
rented car, so it was not the person who ultimately
committed the terror attack was not the person who was
in it at that time. But they were just so
so quick to jump in the open borders. That's what's happened.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
This person came in through the border. Yeah, did this
spoiler alert It was an American born Army veteran Texas
native who was who did declare said that he had
recently joined isis. But again the idea that it's like
this person came over the word it's like no, no, no, man, Like,
we're pretty good at creating people like this in the
(28:58):
United States, for whatever reason, because of the access to
all kinds of terrible things, and also the army veteran
thing too. I was just reading this like thing in
the intercept about how US military service is like one
of the strongest predictors for.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Being a perpetrator in a mass casualty event.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
So in both of those instances, we had people who
had been in the military, and I think the other
guy in Vegas was like struggling with PTSD and a
lot of people turn that one into like.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
That was an attack on MAGA.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
It's clear what was supposed to happen there, And again
this is what happens when the media doesn't fucking tell
people what's going on. If they bothered to talk about
this guy's own manifesto, which I haven't seen published in
many places, but in that he's very clearly talking about
how like this was meant to be some kind of
like MAGA wake up call with the explosion, and that's
(29:53):
why he did it in a cyber truck in front
of a Trump tower with fireworks, because he said that
was the way to capture people's attention, and he railed
against like DEI but was also like also had those
like like sort of like working class grievances too, like
we're not supporting people. But then also, yeah, you know
the Dems need to be fucking per like cold from society.
(30:15):
So yeah, there we got a lot of interesting takes
out of those stories, for sure.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean that one like felt it
was like a cyber truck in front of Trump tower
like that seems like a pretty clear message, but it's
just again it's just uh yeah, in fact, it wasn't
a clear message. It was not the thing that you
thought it was, and in fact it is basically a
(30:40):
lot of the right wing and you know, war mongering
ideologies of America kind of coming home to metastasize. All right,
moving along, obviously, these are stories that are going to
like kind of continue to resonate. But just checking in
with uh, well, get that Gates.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
That Gates report came out when we were on break,
and it confirmed everything we already knew.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Yes, like real truly you're like, uh.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Yeah, yeah, I like how that's just when we glossed over.
I mean, I get it, it happened weeks ago. But
I think for anyone who was curious, like, well happened
the gate Sport it came out, They're like, yeah, we
believe he was having sex with underaged kids, trafficking people,
sending money, every.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Sending money to doing drugs. Yes, but that one gets
swept under the rug and everything about the You know
that this guy has a manifesto about how democrats demoncrats
need to be culled from the planet. Yeah, yeah, yahs
faratu instead of notes. Oh. I don't know. It's just
(31:43):
a thing that I'm trying. That movie did incredibly well,
which is having seen it. Did you see it most
sever yet? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
I just I someone with just very large legs. That
image that you shared was jarring, and I don't know
if I can handle it.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
I can't. I simply can't.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
If my calves looked like just tib and fib, I
would I think I'd be very sad.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
But I do feel like this guy, this director, he's
the maker of The Witch, the Vi, the or the Witch,
the Northman, the Light lighthouse, right and yeah, yeah, and
this like, I don't know, it's wild to me that
this blew up as much as it did.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I had so many people hitting me up saying, let's go,
let's go watch Noceratu on shrooms, and I was.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Like absolutely like that. It feels like you're on shrooms
a little bit watching it, Like, yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
I don't know why I need to augment like certain filmmakers.
I'm like, I don't need to augment this. My perception
of it. In fact, would rather see it quite clear eyed. Yeah,
but no, I did not get to see it. But
now that you know, I don't know, I'm back and forth.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Zeigang.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
If you say I must see it and you think
I would like it despite what Jack Field to me,
then I will give it a shot.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
I definitely recommend it is there's one scene where he
just like one of the characters enters this town and
everyone is like dancing and playing an instrument for him
while like making unblinking eye contact, and it's just it
feels like so weird and surreal, but also like it
feels like a thing that would happen. Yeah, and olden times,
(33:27):
like they're just like, oh, a traveler.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Ah, let's serenade him with tambourine playing.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
Yeah, just like the weird texture of life. Like there
were some big articles written about like the how he
researches and you know, gets nails the details of everyday life.
But uh, definitely worth checking out if you haven't already,
and a lot of people did check it out. Drone
fever over New Jersey. He seems to have gotten quieter.
(33:58):
I lean the manifesto hope from the guy in Vegas
did I think mention the drones and was like, those
are about to be revealed to be a Chinese military operation,
but other than that, not many. I just like I
googled New Jersey drones and on like the news tab
(34:18):
of Google, and it went from two weeks ago, mystery
drone sightings continue in New Jersey and across the US.
Here's what we know to two days ago. And it's
just a list of towns in New Jersey where the
Feds have said you can't fly drones anymore. So it's
just they put a ban in place, and suddenly it
stopped being a story. It feels like what happened? But what?
Speaker 1 (34:42):
But so the aliens?
Speaker 3 (34:45):
So I think just transdimensional aliens respect our federal bands.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
So they're fucking so they're boot liquors.
Speaker 6 (34:54):
Bro.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Fuck these aliens, bro.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Oh, just because the Feds told you now you're going
to stop, these aren't the aliens I want?
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Yeah, nope, nope.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
I read one of the articles from two days ago
about the bands and it's citing it as a mystery.
It's like the you know, the Strone mystery that nobody
can explain. But like the only videos they have are
like from well before the band, So right, it's like,
so whatever was happening when they put an fa ban
(35:25):
in place, the whatever nefarious element transdimensional It was a
lot of people's theory, like respected the ban and decided
to stop flying the drones, almost as if it was
just people flying drones for fun, because that's the thing
you can do.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
No, it could be that too, It could be that
to Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
I feel like it fits with like Havana syndrome and
like the Chinese spy balloon where they tell you just
enough of the details to convince you there's something weird
and then it like goes away and nobody really like
with the Chinese spy balloon, and like the drones I
feel like people are less likely to follow up on it, I.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
Know, because this becomes one of those things like you
kind of don't care like what the truth is, Like
it's just like.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
Fun to be like what about all those drones?
Speaker 2 (36:15):
It's probably just drones, right, and then like it could
be cool hah, And then once the truth comes out,
you like, yeah, whatever.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
Whatever turns out it's not cool, but yeah, it's just
the Internet like writing fan fiction into the news into reality,
like coming out with the most exciting, interesting interpretation and
just like willing it to be so. And yeah, we'll see,
we'll see where this story. We're gonna stay on top
of it though.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Yeah, we'll see if there's any more like proletarian sort
of violence happening. And then the drones come back or something, and.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Look over there, look at this one, so the shape
of big skeleton there.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
I was reading an article about how they're like on
the internet, there's just so much pro Luigi Mangioni content
places like YouTube, like like I don't even don't even
know what to fucking do, Like how do you moderate
all this shit?
Speaker 3 (37:02):
So what do we do? We do? You guys? What
reality do do these people live?
Speaker 1 (37:06):
In surely not the one I live in with.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
Yeah, I messed up stuff. It messed up the visas
H one visas. This was one of the real big
mainstream news story. Yeah, where Trump and Musk got were
they were? They mad at each other.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
It was like Trump stayed silent, right, So Trump and
must basically spent the whole summer and fall screaming about.
Speaker 3 (37:31):
How immigrants bad.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Sure, but then Musk had to show his capitalist asked
when he was like, well, let me reverse course. Here'm like, well,
except for the immigrants that helped me make money, sure,
like I need talented people like engineers to do this
shit because obviously all Americans are so stupid I can't
even hire y'all. And so when he was backing the
H one B visas, so many people were.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Like what happened?
Speaker 2 (37:54):
I thought we were I thought we were shutting it down.
No immigration anymore, Like this is taking jobs away from
white people.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
And that whole that created like.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
A whole internal war where he was like shitting on
these maga people for like like being too stupid to understand,
like why you need these kinds of workers for your companies?
And then Trump acted like fash daddy on the road
trip in the fucking station wag. It was like, hey,
don't make me come back there, and just said, hey,
calm down, MAGA, I too think H one B visas
(38:23):
are the ship as well, So no more arguments, and
that kind of simmered off and that worked for that.
I mean, there's still that there's still plenty of people
who disagree, but that sort of like the flashpoint has
subsided a bit. But I think all this does is
reveal we're starting to just see how all there's all
these like like these warring factions within the MAGA movement
(38:46):
right that are just not on the same page at
fucking all in terms of how to like what to
do with their power. And like I did the thing
where I like to go calmb them, you know, message
boards and comment sections on conservative news and shit like that.
And it's interesting to see like the people be like
they're like in disbeliefd like, but Trump said he was
(39:07):
going to stop immigration and and he's not.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
It's like he doesn't mean what he was.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Yeah, and then some people were like, look exactly, he's
all about making Then it's interesting to see this a
little bit of awareness come out to where it's like,
of course he's going to side with Elon because it's
all about making the rich people richer.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
He's like all this stuff. You never know what these
people so, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I think a lot of lessons will not be learned
over the next few years.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
But themselves, the Prestol's figuring out how to not learn
those lessons. Let's take a quick break and we'll be
right back. And we're back. We're back. The Golden Globe
(39:55):
happened last night. The brutalist won for drama. That is,
I was the wanting to hear a three and a
half hour long movie, so I want to watch that.
Speaker 4 (40:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:05):
I was criminally out of the loop this year from
the on these I.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Saw. I haven't seen Anore yet. I want to see Anora.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
I saw Anora.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
How did you see that? Was that server?
Speaker 2 (40:16):
No?
Speaker 3 (40:16):
No, well, okay, it is.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
It's on the server on the server now.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
But I couldn't wait and I and I actually did.
I ended up renting that one. But yeah, that was
so when the Brutalists kept winning, go what is this?
Speaker 3 (40:29):
This is a movie? The whole time, I.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
Just I had it on with Wlislim friends over and
I was like, wow, okay, shout out the brutalist cleaning up.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
It's about an architect and uh it's not written by
Iron Rand, so okay, I only read architectural stories that
Iron Rand my favorite author.
Speaker 7 (40:50):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
But Deni Moore won for the substance. Did you see that?
No I told you that heavybody or like that? Oh
is it?
Speaker 5 (41:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (41:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Oh is it about something about like turning into like
a younger person.
Speaker 3 (41:05):
Yeah yeah, it's like yeah.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
People were saying, is kind of Cronenberg.
Speaker 3 (41:09):
Ye, yeah, it's definitely. It's got the the berg. It's
in cronenberg Gian. But yeah, day wore One described in
detail the moment that a producer branded her a quote
popcorn actress and how that one comment just like eight
at her self esteem for like decades. It was just
(41:30):
I don't know, I just I feel like we all
have those things where like someone says something judge, maybe
like offhandedly, or maybe they're just like a you know, sociopath,
and like just some part of our brain just like
traps it, like the idea and inception and like you
just can't get it out right right right, yeah, getting
to exercise that demon you know?
Speaker 2 (41:51):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I mean she finally won. You know,
she's had such a career, you know, I'm glad.
Speaker 1 (41:59):
I'm glad she won.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
Uh Man.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Also, I want to see that Pamela Anderson movie everyone
said was pretty.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
The Last Show Girl, the Last Show.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
Love the the and Andersans that we're seeing. But yeah,
this the weird those side angle stage things were a
little interest Like even as a viewer on TV, there
were these moments where that people would come out to
present and they were nearly like chest to chest, like
for how close they were.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
I was like, this is a little bit odd in
terms of the know.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
You guys shoot this in a closet, Like those places
are always smaller than you think they are, like when
you actually see them in person, Like have you ever
been to like a late night studio I'm sure yeah. Yeah,
like those things.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
Or even like Saturday Night Live, you're like, whoa, this
is tiny in here.
Speaker 3 (42:48):
Yeah. Yeah, it's like you could fit the entire set
on your desk, right. But yeah, Seth Rogan I got
called out the weird camera work, like the presenters were
shot facing the side of the stage, so the audience.
It's it's a thing that like a lot of awards
shows do where they'll like have these like little interstitials
(43:09):
where people are like kind of it's usually reserved for
like the people like coming back for break. They're like,
and we have Mario Lopez over here, and he's just like, hello,
see guys, I'm out here in the crowd. But in
this case, it was like most of the presenters were
just like standing there to the side, not facing the audience,
(43:29):
and then the audience was like at a like diagonal
angle behind them, and so Seth rogen like, like, what
the fuck are you guys doing? He said, hello, I
want to start by saying, this whole angled camera thing
is very weird. It's inelegant, it's strange. This whole half
of the room can see my bald spot. I would
(43:49):
have filled that in. I said no, and I regret
that now completely. Oh man. But yeah, Nikki Glazer hosted
Killed It.
Speaker 1 (43:58):
Killed It. They're pretty great good.
Speaker 2 (44:00):
I think really brought the fun element back to the
award show. He did a really good job of that.
That one bit where she was about to do like
the musical thing with the pope thing and then got
interrupted by a phone call.
Speaker 1 (44:11):
She's like what this Oh this bit sucks?
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Oh shit, Well, what about like all these there was
just some really good comedic moments and yeah, the I
don't know, just tell you.
Speaker 3 (44:22):
What wouldn't have happened on Ricky Gervais's watch.
Speaker 2 (44:24):
Oh that fucking guy just shut up already? What is
he like live tweeting his.
Speaker 3 (44:29):
Brutal live tweeting, And he was like, I'll tell you
what I would have said. Uh as she was like
killing it, like everybody was just like, this is great.
She's doing a great job. This is a lot of fun.
He was live tweeting it, being like, uh, yeah, if
they had asked me to host, they didn't, Yeah, I
would have said a little something like this, hello, and
(44:50):
welcome to the eighty second Golden Globe Awards. What a
year it's been. Hundreds of entertainers jumped at the chance
to go to the Vatican to meet the Pope, many
from Hollywood. Obviously they weren't content with only being part
of the second biggest pet o ring in the world. Great, yeah,
for sure, there's like that's definitely like there's a lot
(45:12):
of fucking creepy people in Hollywood. What is the hook?
Speaker 1 (45:17):
They did it two days before? Okay, that makes sense.
It wasn't Live.
Speaker 2 (45:20):
He was preemptively being like, allow me to get ahead
of this thing with my musings.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
With my premise that did a lot of entertainers visit
the Pope this year, like a lot of movie stars.
What the fuck is he talking?
Speaker 2 (45:35):
I feel like we're pretty up on papal events.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
Oh man, you know we're big. I mean, you don't.
You don't think I would have come up in the
Pope watch segment of our show, No Pope Watch Watch
the Pope Zone.
Speaker 2 (45:51):
I just I think another way, just for him to
do like his fucking weird like not funny anymore, Ricky
Gervais ship.
Speaker 3 (45:57):
Yeah, god, he's Oh my god, can he say that? Yeah? No, no,
Like she made jokes about there being a room full
of sexual abusers the whole time, but just like did
it without having to make up a premise that they
all went and visited the Pope that year.
Speaker 2 (46:13):
So much like weird homophobic shit, like he talked about
Justin timberl He said, Justin Timberlake was convicted of drink driving.
If he'd have gone to jail, he'd have heard the
words sexy back a lot more often.
Speaker 3 (46:25):
Uh huh oh. And then he would take a sip
of his beer because he like, he doesn't that dude. Yeah, dude,
he doesn't give a fuck.
Speaker 2 (46:33):
Yeah, Well, Ricky shut up, Niki, thanks, and Jimmy a
fond farewell.
Speaker 3 (46:40):
Jimmy Carter Uh died at the age of one hundred
damn keeping it one hundred. Am I right, folks, I'm young. Precisely,
there's Uh. As a writer JM mcknab pointed out, there's
old and then there's outliving your own obituary writers old
(47:00):
because news outlets keep a oh bit for major world
figures on ice at all times, and a number of
the people who had written his obituary back in like
the eighties and nineties and even early two thousands are
now deceased themselves. So yeah, that's wow. He did it, Jimmy,
(47:23):
he did it.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
He did.
Speaker 3 (47:24):
He did it, he said, just despite them, he said,
them writing that obituary about him. He took that personally. Yeah, like,
I'm ja shut up. Michael Jordan, Yeah yeah, yeah, but
what some like, I feel like Trump would gets so
mad if he knew that they were writing his obituary.
He would be like so much.
Speaker 2 (47:41):
Just yeah, someone weather balloon that story. Yeah, yeah, just
to be like, oh wow, we've seen a few of
the Trump obituaries and they are not nice. And it's
like a scrooge situation, is like I want my obituary
to be nice.
Speaker 3 (47:55):
What must I do? Yeah, I mean we should try it.
We need to try everything, folks.
Speaker 2 (48:00):
We need to try everything except you know, coordinated organized action.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's doings two fun punks on him.
So state funerals are basically like the Coachella of funerals.
It will stretch on for days. It kicked off in
Georgia over the weekend and this week. All five living presidents,
including Trump, are expected to come to the big funeral
service at Washington National Cathedral, and Biden had preemptively bragged
(48:29):
that Carter had asked him to eulogize him, which would
be really weird if like that wasn't true and he
was just lying about that. But he was like, ah,
I shouldn't said that, shouldn't have said that, But yeah,
he wants me to say a few words.
Speaker 2 (48:43):
That sounds like they kind of lie, like a sociopath
would say, like at a funeral. They're like, I don't
know if you guys know this, but Jimmy actually wanted
me to give the eulogy today.
Speaker 1 (48:51):
I don't know if you told you guys that, but
that was one of the last thing he said to me.
So is it cool if I go up there?
Speaker 2 (48:56):
Yeah, serie, play Fiend by Travis Scott featuring playbook Car.
Speaker 3 (49:02):
I do want that play at my funeral please. Trump
also found a way, of course, to make Jimmy Carr's
death all about him. He's been complaining on tree social
that all the flags will be at half masked during
his inauguration, which traditionally they're flown at half mass for
thirty days during a period of national mourning, and Trump said,
(49:25):
because of the death of President Jimmy Carter, the flags may,
for the first time ever during inauguration of a future
president be at half masked. Nobody wants to see this,
and no America, no American, can be happy about it.
Let's see how it plays out. Make America great.
Speaker 2 (49:43):
Nobody gives a shit man, Yeah, well, I mean he
probably sees it as some kind of metaphor for.
Speaker 1 (49:50):
His penis or something.
Speaker 3 (49:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
They have to be fully erect at their highest levels
when I take office or else.
Speaker 3 (49:57):
They'll know, they'll know it is just a sort of
dumb ship that would obviously destroy Like really, it's.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
Like from what you said in the cold open, like
loud loud pee thick pea stream equals big peepee.
Speaker 3 (50:13):
Ye Trump, I bet you could really get him with
that shit.
Speaker 2 (50:16):
Flags at half mast means mushroom.
Speaker 1 (50:20):
The mushroom rumors are true.
Speaker 3 (50:21):
The mushroomors are true. Also, like, he also criticized Democrats
for feeling giddy over the prospect of the flags being
at half mast. It's just like nobody's like thinking about
it at all but him. This is a quote which
I love. They think it's so great and are so
happy about it, because in actuality, they don't love our
(50:43):
country so happy.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
Yeah, he should have just said they were always against me.
Speaker 3 (50:51):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (50:52):
It is basically what you're saying, they were always against me.
I get it, and that's what you think. Yeah, sure,
we're all against you though, bro.
Speaker 3 (50:58):
Spoiler alert. All right, so are some of the things
that are trending that happened over the break. We are
back to our regularly scheduled program. Will be back tomorrow
with a couple episodes of the show. Until then, be
kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get your vaccines,
get your fee shots, don't do nothing about white supremacy,
(51:21):
and we will our tomorrow fight bite
