Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, and welcome to this definitive edition of blackout Rage
Galtrend Electric or oh wait, black Outrage Galtrend two Electric
Trend to Lou. I know y'all talked about borgs before,
but talk about I want to talk about borgs, okay,
(00:21):
And they used to call me Ernest Borg nine. How
I would hit nine borgs in one night? Okay, they
don't know about me, but we will get that. We'll
get to that a little bit later. It's me Miles
G in the Place to Be with my co host
b E Double c A. What's good today, Becca, I'm
excited to talk about boorgs. Man, I'll get a chance
(00:42):
to talk about them. Good good. We missed out on
the borg discourse. And guess what I'm pulling up in
the board cube call me ice cube, but bord cube.
But first, we're not talking about that. We talked about
that later. First, Duncan is the first friend we're gonna
talk about. Um. They're being sued by a very loyal
user who basically is saying this may okay, this is
(01:04):
a Boston resident. It's like the most Boston shit ever.
This dude who lives in Boston. He's suing Duncan. He's
suing the Donkeys, claiming that it's mobile app is quote
adding undisclosed charges for add ons like butter and cream cheese. So,
for example, his order for an ice coffee, which costs
three dollars and sixty nine cents and in everything bagel
with cream cheese three dollars and nine cents, came to
(01:26):
eight oh three before tax. Now, I can do some
quick maths, and that is not that's not three point
six nine and three point nine does not make that.
So he was being charged a dollar twenty five more
than he should have been. And what makes this thing
even more confusing, apparently, is that some locations don't add
like tack on extra charges for things like this. So
(01:49):
this man is like, look, man, this is bullshit. He
is seeking a whopping twenty five dollars in damages plus
legal fees because he's just saying, look man, I'm not
I'm not trying to be an asshole, but like, I
just want my cream cheese and butter charges. Like I
shop enough at Duncan that I want to use my
(02:10):
twenty five dollars to get more Duncan. Yeah, but don't
take away my dollars that I'm going to already spend
that the Duncan, I'm gonna give them back to you.
You might as well just settle. I'm not joking. I'm
gonna give it all right back to you. I just
don't want to do it. It might be Duncan. What's funny, too,
is like the lawsuit does acknowledge that the plaintiff is
still using the app everything that's going on, because he's
(02:33):
still gonna get my points he wants. That is honestly,
like you should hire, like hire that person because it
sounds like they love the brand so much. Like I'm
not gonna abandon y'all, like I will get ripped off.
I'm gonna say something about it. But yeah, I'm still
gonna get ripped off because I am a loyal customer. Yeah.
(02:53):
And apparently there's also been happening like the McDonald's app,
so whatever I mean. I think it happens to a
lot of fast food or really apps in general. I
go to a local I was about to say Burger,
and that's not correct, Bagel spot down the street, and
if you order not off the app, but if you
order off of like, um, I don't know whatever. Google
(03:15):
tells you like, if you go to Google Maps and
you click the link to order for pickup, it'll do
a bunch of add ons that if I were to
just like order at the window with the same ad ons,
it wouldn't cost as much. So it is, I think,
just like a weird issue that a lot of apps
have when ordering food for pickup online. Yeah, stupid, Yeah, Look,
(03:38):
everyone's gotta do what they gotta do. Ike pearl Mutter
is trending. And if you don't know who Ike pearl
Mutter is, he is the you know, the racist, woman
hating head of Marvel Entertainment who was famously broker the
deal for the four billion dollars sail of Marvel to Disney.
But today it turns out he got got by Bob
(04:01):
Biker's cost cutting measures because while they're cutting seven thousand jobs,
apparently he is one of them. This man, this eight
year old Pearl Mutter confirmed on Wednesday that yeah he's yeah, uh,
he's out of here. One blessing from What's Wild is
this guy is such a documented weirdo slash piece of
(04:23):
trash that you're like, what, why are y'all rocket with
this guy for so long? So This is just a
few of the things that our writer Jam pointed out. First, up,
I didn't know he was accused of bribing cops to
renew his gun license like movie premiere tickets. Okay. He
was also part of a quote bizarre legal drama at
this like Palm Beach residential community he lived out because
(04:45):
old um he would. He was accused of sending out
like anonymous hate mail to another resident who I think
was also like a billionaire, and then sued that guy
and claimed that he tried to quote harvest his DNA
to frame him for the letters. Oh okay, but is it.
It's like, how would you frame them if really if
(05:06):
you're harvesting the DNA more to prove right, because it's
like you probably right. But I think if you're good
at like frivolous lawsuits to try and jam someone up,
you're just trying to like portray what they're doing as
something fucked up or they're like, actually know what he's
doing is trying to frame me for the letters, I wrote, Loki,
but that'll come out later on um. Also, obviously he's
(05:27):
a huge Trump supporter and was part of like this
group of Mara Lago dudes who would basically were Trump's
advisors on fucking veterans issues. All right, Yeah, was this
man a veteran? I have no idea. I don't think so,
sound like it. Yeah, you know he was not. We confirmed, No,
he has never served in the US military. But cool.
But he knows about Iron Man and how iron Man
(05:50):
and war Machine could fuck up a lot of people
in the military sold in America, our soldier. Yeah, we
will not turn our back on him. Yeah, and again,
I think more importantly, like again, he's the sexist, racist
trash bag who basically kept Marvel from making movies starring
(06:11):
superheroes who were women or people of color. Yeah. So,
I mean, obviously I don't know if all of the
blame lies with pro Mutter, but he literally told the
Consumer Products division that this is going to get brace
yourself for some intense racism. All black people look the same.
When Don Cheetle replaced Terrence Howard and that three black
female executives quit the division quote after complaining about Pearl Mutter.
(06:34):
That is such a crazy stage. Yeah, and all they did,
they did that shit like what the church does when
like one of these priests is like out here, like
violating people, like they just put him in another division.
Oh of course. And then I mean that's so many
different things, right, yeah, yeah, we can't fire them, just
put them in like they basically said, here, you're in
this like smaller division where you basically can't get in
the way of making movies anymore. But it's also like,
(06:56):
come on, Disney, what the fuck like if you know
all of it? Whatever, why am I being like, come on,
massive media corporation, do better? And then before we take
a break, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee is trending because he
shared this like prerecorded video where he talks about how
he knew two of the victims of the school shooting
that took place earlier this week. In fact us, the
(07:19):
principle and the substitute who were killed have been friends
of theirs for decades apparently, and his wife worked with them,
like in education, and the wife was supposed to meet
the principle for dinner that night. And then so he
he has like this video talking about, Oh so heartbreaking
we knew these people, not one fucking mention of gun control.
(07:40):
I was gonna say, it's like it's so upsetting that
it's like you can personally know victims and still be
so ruled by your pocketbook that you don't want to
make a change. Like that is so abhorrent, Like it
makes my stomach churn. You just sold out two people
who lost their lives needlessly, like you've sold them out
for your own. You shouldn't have to know them to
(08:02):
have empathy for them and make change, but you did,
and you still don't have enough empathy to make change,
or if you're gonna evoke their memory or invoke their memory,
then you have to, like at the least you think. Okay, logically,
he could be like, hey, how y'all gonna get mad
at me on this one? I think we got to
do something now, Like I knew them, Okay, I was
(08:22):
fucking around before because I never really came to my doorstep.
Now it has, my fucking values have changed. But still
he's like, uh, and their NR check in Okay, Yeah,
I'm I still getting that other gun lobby one okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
So that's a tragedy what happened, And we will do something.
We will hold a vigil, yeah, like god godly, as
my grandfather used to say, all right, let's take a
(08:44):
quick break and we'll be right back, and we're back.
And Howard Schultz is trend because he is he is
basically some American cheese between two pieces of wonderbread because
(09:07):
he is getting grilled cheese the fuck out on Capitol Hill.
Although I don't know where it goes in terms of
laws and things like that. However, Bernie Sanders is getting
in his shit over his you know, very very aggressive
union busting. We've talked about Howard Saltz before on this show,
the attempts he's made to discourage people from joining unions,
(09:28):
his own union busting in the past, or even like
that time he tried to evoke the Holocaust as a
reason to not unionize, and it was very very I
mean the way stores are just shutting down. Starbuckses are
shutting down, ye don't no reason because really they had
started a union and they're like, oh, well, we're not
getting enough sales here exactly. So I just want to
hear because this is very interesting. Bernie's asking Howard Saltz,
(09:51):
He's like, you know, about your union busting, and he's
never he's not actually quite copying to the fact that
he's not denying the fact that he's a union busting
nas dude. But he's like, come on, man, let's listen
to this short exchange. Have you ever threatened, coerced, or
intimidated a work for supporting a union. I've had conversations
(10:11):
that could have been interpreted in a different way than
I intended. That's up to the person who received the
information that I spoke to him about. Were you informed
of or involved in the decision to withhold benefits from
Starbucks workers in unionized stores, including higher pay and fast
(10:33):
a sick time accrual. My understanding, I understand when we
created the benefits in May. One may see already it's
already he's already turning to it. Yeah. Yeah, So this
is that snaky language people got to use when they
get like they know that they've been had here and
are rather they're up against it, and they know have
(10:55):
I done that? Well, I've spoken to people that maybe
took that as that, But that's on them. Really. If
I'm like I don't do it, If I go like this,
I don't think that's a good idea or whatever, the
buck or obviously he's probably just lying straight up and
he's like, yeah, man, we're gonna yeah, we're don't join
the unit. It will If you can't say no, then
(11:15):
the answer is yes. You know, like if it's not
on far no, then you absolutely have intimidated people, like
because it should be pretty black and white, like do
they lose benefits or not? You know, right, do their
hours cut or not? We'll see where this goes. But yeah,
I mean it's it's it's just really interesting about that.
It's so aggressive, like what this company has done, and
so many companies are doing now, um, and like the
(11:38):
basically slow speed at which it takes to like actually
have protections for workers. Um. But you know what strike
on because it definitely affects their business model and uh yeah,
doing you know, we gotta we gotta stick together, especially
when we're just trying to get our fair peace. Uh.
Next up, Jennifer Aniston. She's she's doing the this thing
(12:00):
that we hear all the time, saying friends is now
deemed quote offensive by a whole generation of kids. She
goes on on the on the she goes on to say,
in the past, you could joke about a biggot and
have a laugh. It was about educating people on how
ridiculous people were. Now we're not allowed to do that.
I don't. Look, I've seen I've seen a little bit
(12:21):
of Friends, and I've the times I've seen the transphobic
shit around Chandler's like mother. I was like, this, ain't
having a laugh at a biggot. Y'all are laughing at
the mother? Y'all are the biggots? Where's the laugh? Well?
We were, but see that's what they knew. You know,
we were just all making cracking jokes about it because
(12:42):
we're biggots. Oh, maybe it would be better. She's like,
I mean we were all biggots on the show. Yeah.
So it's like it's like, so are you admitting that
your character was at biggest? Like I don't know, just
like come on. So has so much Like there's like
all the fat phobia with Monica, you know when her
past life. There's also like the commentary and like body
dysmorphia with Jennifer Anderson's like nose job in the show
(13:05):
because like she had a very traditional Jewish nose. Yeah,
Rachel Green job, Rachel Green. Yeah. There's obviously the transphobia
with Chandler and just general like queer phobia with Chandler's mom.
There's like clearly the just like blatant racism. Yeah. Uh,
as super producer Brian put in the chat, there's literally
no people of color on the show. There was like
(13:25):
rock Tex girlfriend who they treated horribly. She deserves so
much better as Tyler when Tyler was playing the Yeah,
I remember that, like the queer phobia, or like the
lesbian phobia of um making a joke out of Ross's
baby mama and her wife, you know, the evil lesbians
right right right, Like yeah, yeah, Brian's like no people
(13:48):
of color in New York, Like, yeah, what New York is? That?
Is this not even not even pre white people always
come only like Manhattan. It's just like so crazy. It's
like they weren't getting in the Upper West Side. Like yeah,
I mean, look, I get it, Jennifer. You know what
the heck is going on. Kids, kids are aware that everything,
(14:11):
everyone's values are adapting to a world that's trying to
be more inclusive and humane, so you don't have to
put people through the fucking traumatic shit of like joking
about their existence. But okay, okay, yeah, because you know,
this shit isn't on Peacock and this or whatever the
fuck streaming service, and it's not like y'all just had
a fucking huge like reunion special. Like it's like y'all
(14:32):
got so much enough people being with y'all, don't worry,
Like can you just sit back, be quiet, enjoy your money,
and go away, Like no one's asking for your social
commentary on if your show was woke or not. Like
it's smarter for you to be silent than for you
to say anything, because you're going to say the wrong
thing obviously, as you already have, Like you created the
spinoff basically you know, of How I Met your Mother,
(14:54):
Like it is such an emulation of like friends and
like that show which is really which is really living
single you know friends. Yeah, well yeah, I look, it's
it's funny when all these like I think for them,
they just they have such a hard time thinking that
(15:14):
something that they engaged in with such joy and like
purity maybe from their perspective, could be seen as offensive now.
But yeah, you know what, that's how a lot of
vaudeville acts look now too. You know what it is
that's just at the time people were that's how people
were cooking. Yeah, it's like obviously it's a product of
its time. We're like not blaming you for being so
(15:37):
problematic like you are, you know, a cog in the
machine that is the whole spectrum of making a show,
right the writer's room, showrunners, like, there's so many people.
It's not us on the cast of Friends to be
the wokest of woke people to be fighting on the
front lines of being like, but I don't want to
date more people of color, right right, right? I know?
(15:57):
I mean I think also, like you gotta also read
like they're telling on themselves to like that's us and
that's big. Yeah you're like, oh, okay, whatever, Jennifer, you know,
just just count your money, you know, Yeah, why don't
you want to? I mean, I get it. It's probably
addictive if you're like in the line like that much.
But shit, if you had fuck you money forever forever,
(16:21):
I'd be like, funk all this, bro, you're not gonna
see me. I'm gonna be like laying down permanently for
the rest of my life in this mon do an
interview again. I'd be like I would be I'm saying,
I would be in the sun all day, all day,
going in the water, you know what I mean, get
my hair transplant, turn it in and yeah, and then
(16:41):
finally guess what, the board cube has arrived. I am
Miles cut us of borg resistance is futile. Your life
as it has been is over. From this time forward.
You will service us because we're hitting them Borgs. So
I know y'all talked there's borg discourse going on. I
(17:02):
missed the borge discourse. And I'm sure y'all have heard
this again because you're gonna hear it again. So but
if you don't know, borgs are black outrage gallons that
are all the rage with gen Z right now? Whils Yeah,
children's so what the children's are sipping on now? Again?
This is just their way to binge drink. But when
(17:22):
I saw this, I was like, I just saw caught
a couple of videos, was watching the excitement around borgs,
and I just loved this idea of you taking a
half gallon of water, putting like emptying a fucking fifth
of liquor into it and then adding like mew and
an electrolyte package, and you're like, and this is the
shit that we fucking party with. Um, I don't know,
(17:47):
like part of me, I think I love the idea
that because a lot of them they swear it prevents hangovers,
which I'm like, which I'm like, bullshit. But they're like
the alcohol to water ratio cares you, and I'm like, no,
there's more, there's no water, Like you're still processing all
that alcohol absolutely, and you know, depending on what kind
of alcohol you get, there's no helping you. Um. Also,
(18:09):
y'all are nine years old, you're not gonna get hangovers. Okay,
the same me when you fucking thirty eight and you
hit a borg and then you fucking the CPS is
taking your whole your whole family away, okay, because you're
hangovers so fucking bad. But yeah, I just seeing this,
like it just reminded me of the things, like it's
just interesting to see the evolution because for me, the
(18:30):
first thing we did, I didn't do power hours, but
you know that was like a lot of things, a
lot of the like white kids are in like my
high school doing. But the first one I did was
Edward forty hands because for hands, a classic, it's so
stupid forties to your hands and have to fucking power
through them. Also cause a lot of problems. Uh. And
(18:50):
then you know there's jungle juice too, And then I've
moved on to space bags. You know, I was doing
space bags for a while. You know when you what's
wizard sword. Oh, it's when you would um drink beers
like hands and then you take them together. Yeah you
want to fight people. Yeah, we missed that. We missed
(19:11):
that one because we just got Yeah, I was on
space bags is taking the bladder out of box wine
and just yeah, just getting that. I used to bring
jugs of Carlo Rossi sangria to like house parties just
because and in a way that was my early board
because I would get the one gallon Carlo Rossi jug
because in my mind, I was like, this looks stupid
as fun to pull up with a gallon juggle what
(19:32):
fucking wine to a party. So in a way, the
board resonates with me. But the magical powers of the
board bring their own handles to parties. That's scary. Well,
if you brought a handle, hopefully you're you're like spreading
the wealth. You know, there's some redistributing, not to recamp
my own college or not me, but you know, I
knew some people would bring their own handle fireball because
(19:54):
all of us hated it. We're like and they would
chug the fireball, like they would go from house to
house being like, uh, I mean like drink the fireball
and like making people take shots of the fireball, and
all of us are like, none of us want this fireball, God, fireball.
They are married to their handle a fireball. I don't
like when people like, I know people who like love
(20:14):
Southern comfort and I'm like, how do you drink that?
How like in the way you're talking about They're like, Soco,
what's up? Have some Soco. I'm like, get the fuck
away from me with that shit. That ship used to
Oh my god, one of the worst hangovers I ever
had was from hanging with one of these Soco fucking evangelists,
(20:36):
and it nearly caused a terrible, terrible condition. What's wild though, two,
is like I didn't realize, like at you mass there
was like like a mass event of like seventeen like
like numerous kids having to go to the hospital for
alcohol poisoning. I think shows you that, Yeah, I think
they're so smart. And I mean I would say that
the borg is smart in the sense of not getting roofy,
(20:57):
you know, like we were going to parties, you know,
at least, yeah, I was drinking out a garbage can. Yeah,
you're literally like doing the beer pong and you're drinking
the beer from the cans as the balls have fallen
into them, like they weren't putting water. You know, we
were drinking. Remember do you remember when the first time
you saw someone be like, nah, I just have the
beer on the side, don't why. It was literally after yeah,
(21:21):
oh the same, And I remember being like that, ain't
how you play and they're like, but it's so dirty,
and I was like, yeah, so you're not drinking a
beer that way? Yeah, right, exactly? Whatever that huh. You know,
the jungle juice was scary. You didn't know who made it,
where it came from. Very easy to get Roofie. So
I do support the Borg in not getting Roofie. Oh
(21:42):
I'm not knocking the Borg at all, you know. I'm
just I am knocking the Boorg out of the alcohol
poison because they think they're smarter than us. It's like,
you gotta know your limit. You gotta know it. Just
like just like with the actual Borg from Star Trek,
strength is irrelevant, Resistance is futile. To quote the Borg.
I honestly, I'm like jealous that the board existed because
(22:03):
I remember the big drinks when I was in college
was a the scary um handle of fireball someone would
bring around be Malibu and coke. You know, malibu handle
oh when you do the violent like kuba libre where
you don't ditch half the two leader yep, yep, yeah,
and then very specifically um oh in Texas. Actually, I'm sorry.
(22:28):
I didn't mean to call a Malibu and coke an
actual kuba libre. That's because that's that's a viola. Forgive me,
forgive me evoking yea, I know, but you know, for
real people, they're gonna be like, no, I don't, don't
say Malibu is the kind of fucking run that's going
in there. That's the ranger. The Tennessee Honey Whiskey and
Doctor Pepper Central Texas staple. Wow See Tennessee Honey came
(22:49):
out after college for me, and I remember it's too
sweet that I was like, it just was. I was like, no,
I don't need sweet anymore. I'm like, I'm just sip
lean because I don't need to drink a twenty ounce bottle.
And then don't worry about me. Just check if I'm breathing.
It was truly like, oh, like that was like my
first like college alcohol experience as a Tennessee Honey whiskey
and the doctor pepper. I was like, oh, I can't
taste it, and I was like, this is dangerous. Yeahn't
(23:12):
oh if you put it in the doctor peppers. And
I get that, like, especially when you're in college too,
like when you don't quite have the requisite darkness in
your soul to drink liquor straight. It's more about how
can I get really fucked up in a way that
doesn't make me Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly, and then I
know I feel it. I'm like just like vibing and
you were saying the kids are naming their boards too,
(23:35):
like with penny names, Miles, I have a little um
A Bee told me who's in college right now, that
they name their boards and that in naming the borgs,
it can either be themed, like based on the party
you're going to or whatever. But it's like a fun
way to identify your borg is to name it. And
these are some fun names I pulled from We're adulting
(23:56):
dot com. It is a college blog site because the
tabs are home, dorm, room, holiday, college, apartments, sorority or names.
So here's some Borg names. Um we got borgasm Okay,
Borg meets World, Um Solja Borg, breaking Borg, Badenborgie Laborg,
(24:21):

Captain Borgan, Jason Borgorgina who I like for me? Okay,

um or justin big Borg Saturdays are for the Borgs,
Borgy and Bess for all my real from my real
(25:05):
musical fans out there. Well, anyway, I'm glad we got
to talk about Borgs. Shout out you know, all the
Borg drinkers out there, if you got any cool Boorg
recipes or if you think it's just an absolutely I mean,
look in a way, it's good to know that like
millennials and gen z are actually drinking like less. We've talked,
We've talked about that very past episodes like despite all this,
like across the board, millennials and gen Z like are
drinking less than you know, Gen X and the boomers
(25:27):
before them. So boorg get up, y'all as safe as
you can. But you know, I'm not here advocating bringe drinking.
But if I was nineteen, they earnest board nine, I'm
telling you, and I would try to probably drink nine
borgs to try and get that moniker and then end
up somewhere in a bad place. So do not be
like me. Be smart, finish your studies, and then do

I would hit nine borgs in one night? Okay, they
don't know about me, but we will get that. We'll
get to that a little bit later. It's me Miles
G in the Place to Be with my co host
b E Double c A. What's good today, Becca, I'm
excited to talk about boorgs. Man, I'll get a chance
(00:42):
to talk about them. Good good. We missed out on
the borg discourse. And guess what I'm pulling up in
the board cube call me ice cube, but bord cube.
But first, we're not talking about that. We talked about
that later. First, Duncan is the first friend we're gonna
talk about. Um. They're being sued by a very loyal
user who basically is saying this may okay, this is
(01:04):
a Boston resident. It's like the most Boston shit ever.
This dude who lives in Boston. He's suing Duncan. He's
suing the Donkeys, claiming that it's mobile app is quote
adding undisclosed charges for add ons like butter and cream cheese. So,
for example, his order for an ice coffee, which costs
three dollars and sixty nine cents and in everything bagel
with cream cheese three dollars and nine cents, came to
(01:26):
eight oh three before tax. Now, I can do some
quick maths, and that is not that's not three point
six nine and three point nine does not make that.
So he was being charged a dollar twenty five more
than he should have been. And what makes this thing
even more confusing, apparently, is that some locations don't add
like tack on extra charges for things like this. So
(01:49):
this man is like, look, man, this is bullshit. He
is seeking a whopping twenty five dollars in damages plus
legal fees because he's just saying, look man, I'm not
I'm not trying to be an asshole, but like, I
just want my cream cheese and butter charges. Like I
shop enough at Duncan that I want to use my
(02:10):
twenty five dollars to get more Duncan. Yeah, but don't
take away my dollars that I'm going to already spend
that the Duncan, I'm gonna give them back to you.
You might as well just settle. I'm not joking. I'm
gonna give it all right back to you. I just
don't want to do it. It might be Duncan. What's funny, too,
is like the lawsuit does acknowledge that the plaintiff is
still using the app everything that's going on, because he's
(02:33):
still gonna get my points he wants. That is honestly,
like you should hire, like hire that person because it
sounds like they love the brand so much. Like I'm
not gonna abandon y'all, like I will get ripped off.
I'm gonna say something about it. But yeah, I'm still
gonna get ripped off because I am a loyal customer. Yeah.
(02:53):
And apparently there's also been happening like the McDonald's app,
so whatever I mean. I think it happens to a
lot of fast food or really apps in general. I
go to a local I was about to say Burger,
and that's not correct, Bagel spot down the street, and
if you order not off the app, but if you
order off of like, um, I don't know whatever. Google
(03:15):
tells you like, if you go to Google Maps and
you click the link to order for pickup, it'll do
a bunch of add ons that if I were to
just like order at the window with the same ad ons,
it wouldn't cost as much. So it is, I think,
just like a weird issue that a lot of apps
have when ordering food for pickup online. Yeah, stupid, Yeah, Look,
(03:38):
everyone's gotta do what they gotta do. Ike pearl Mutter
is trending. And if you don't know who Ike pearl
Mutter is, he is the you know, the racist, woman
hating head of Marvel Entertainment who was famously broker the
deal for the four billion dollars sail of Marvel to Disney.
But today it turns out he got got by Bob
(04:01):
Biker's cost cutting measures because while they're cutting seven thousand jobs,
apparently he is one of them. This man, this eight
year old Pearl Mutter confirmed on Wednesday that yeah he's yeah, uh,
he's out of here. One blessing from What's Wild is
this guy is such a documented weirdo slash piece of
(04:23):
trash that you're like, what, why are y'all rocket with
this guy for so long? So This is just a
few of the things that our writer Jam pointed out. First, up,
I didn't know he was accused of bribing cops to
renew his gun license like movie premiere tickets. Okay. He
was also part of a quote bizarre legal drama at
this like Palm Beach residential community he lived out because
(04:45):
old um he would. He was accused of sending out
like anonymous hate mail to another resident who I think
was also like a billionaire, and then sued that guy
and claimed that he tried to quote harvest his DNA
to frame him for the letters. Oh okay, but is it.
It's like, how would you frame them if really if
(05:06):
you're harvesting the DNA more to prove right, because it's
like you probably right. But I think if you're good
at like frivolous lawsuits to try and jam someone up,
you're just trying to like portray what they're doing as
something fucked up or they're like, actually know what he's
doing is trying to frame me for the letters, I wrote, Loki,
but that'll come out later on um. Also, obviously he's
(05:27):
a huge Trump supporter and was part of like this
group of Mara Lago dudes who would basically were Trump's
advisors on fucking veterans issues. All right, Yeah, was this
man a veteran? I have no idea. I don't think so,
sound like it. Yeah, you know he was not. We confirmed, No,
he has never served in the US military. But cool.
But he knows about Iron Man and how iron Man
(05:50):
and war Machine could fuck up a lot of people
in the military sold in America, our soldier. Yeah, we
will not turn our back on him. Yeah, and again,
I think more importantly, like again, he's the sexist, racist
trash bag who basically kept Marvel from making movies starring
(06:11):
superheroes who were women or people of color. Yeah. So,
I mean, obviously I don't know if all of the
blame lies with pro Mutter, but he literally told the
Consumer Products division that this is going to get brace
yourself for some intense racism. All black people look the same.
When Don Cheetle replaced Terrence Howard and that three black
female executives quit the division quote after complaining about Pearl Mutter.
(06:34):
That is such a crazy stage. Yeah, and all they did,
they did that shit like what the church does when
like one of these priests is like out here, like
violating people, like they just put him in another division.
Oh of course. And then I mean that's so many
different things, right, yeah, yeah, we can't fire them, just
put them in like they basically said, here, you're in
this like smaller division where you basically can't get in
the way of making movies anymore. But it's also like,
(06:56):
come on, Disney, what the fuck like if you know
all of it? Whatever, why am I being like, come on,
massive media corporation, do better? And then before we take
a break, Tennessee Governor Bill Lee is trending because he
shared this like prerecorded video where he talks about how
he knew two of the victims of the school shooting
that took place earlier this week. In fact us, the
(07:19):
principle and the substitute who were killed have been friends
of theirs for decades apparently, and his wife worked with them,
like in education, and the wife was supposed to meet
the principle for dinner that night. And then so he
he has like this video talking about, Oh so heartbreaking
we knew these people, not one fucking mention of gun control.
(07:40):
I was gonna say, it's like it's so upsetting that
it's like you can personally know victims and still be
so ruled by your pocketbook that you don't want to
make a change. Like that is so abhorrent, Like it
makes my stomach churn. You just sold out two people
who lost their lives needlessly, like you've sold them out
for your own. You shouldn't have to know them to
(08:02):
have empathy for them and make change, but you did,
and you still don't have enough empathy to make change,
or if you're gonna evoke their memory or invoke their memory,
then you have to, like at the least you think. Okay, logically,
he could be like, hey, how y'all gonna get mad
at me on this one? I think we got to
do something now, Like I knew them, Okay, I was
(08:22):
fucking around before because I never really came to my doorstep.
Now it has, my fucking values have changed. But still
he's like, uh, and their NR check in Okay, Yeah,
I'm I still getting that other gun lobby one okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
So that's a tragedy what happened, And we will do something.
We will hold a vigil, yeah, like god godly, as
my grandfather used to say, all right, let's take a
(08:44):
quick break and we'll be right back, and we're back.
And Howard Schultz is trend because he is he is
basically some American cheese between two pieces of wonderbread because
(09:07):
he is getting grilled cheese the fuck out on Capitol Hill.
Although I don't know where it goes in terms of
laws and things like that. However, Bernie Sanders is getting
in his shit over his you know, very very aggressive
union busting. We've talked about Howard Saltz before on this show,
the attempts he's made to discourage people from joining unions,
(09:28):
his own union busting in the past, or even like
that time he tried to evoke the Holocaust as a
reason to not unionize, and it was very very I
mean the way stores are just shutting down. Starbuckses are
shutting down, ye don't no reason because really they had
started a union and they're like, oh, well, we're not
getting enough sales here exactly. So I just want to
hear because this is very interesting. Bernie's asking Howard Saltz,
(09:51):
He's like, you know, about your union busting, and he's
never he's not actually quite copying to the fact that
he's not denying the fact that he's a union busting
nas dude. But he's like, come on, man, let's listen
to this short exchange. Have you ever threatened, coerced, or
intimidated a work for supporting a union. I've had conversations
(10:11):
that could have been interpreted in a different way than
I intended. That's up to the person who received the
information that I spoke to him about. Were you informed
of or involved in the decision to withhold benefits from
Starbucks workers in unionized stores, including higher pay and fast
(10:33):
a sick time accrual. My understanding, I understand when we
created the benefits in May. One may see already it's
already he's already turning to it. Yeah. Yeah, So this
is that snaky language people got to use when they
get like they know that they've been had here and
are rather they're up against it, and they know have
(10:55):
I done that? Well, I've spoken to people that maybe
took that as that, But that's on them. Really. If
I'm like I don't do it, If I go like this,
I don't think that's a good idea or whatever, the
buck or obviously he's probably just lying straight up and
he's like, yeah, man, we're gonna yeah, we're don't join
the unit. It will If you can't say no, then
(11:15):
the answer is yes. You know, like if it's not
on far no, then you absolutely have intimidated people, like
because it should be pretty black and white, like do
they lose benefits or not? You know, right, do their
hours cut or not? We'll see where this goes. But yeah,
I mean it's it's it's just really interesting about that.
It's so aggressive, like what this company has done, and
so many companies are doing now, um, and like the
(11:38):
basically slow speed at which it takes to like actually
have protections for workers. Um. But you know what strike
on because it definitely affects their business model and uh yeah,
doing you know, we gotta we gotta stick together, especially
when we're just trying to get our fair peace. Uh.
Next up, Jennifer Aniston. She's she's doing the this thing
(12:00):
that we hear all the time, saying friends is now
deemed quote offensive by a whole generation of kids. She
goes on on the on the she goes on to say,
in the past, you could joke about a biggot and
have a laugh. It was about educating people on how
ridiculous people were. Now we're not allowed to do that.
I don't. Look, I've seen I've seen a little bit
(12:21):
of Friends, and I've the times I've seen the transphobic
shit around Chandler's like mother. I was like, this, ain't
having a laugh at a biggot. Y'all are laughing at
the mother? Y'all are the biggots? Where's the laugh? Well?
We were, but see that's what they knew. You know,
we were just all making cracking jokes about it because
(12:42):
we're biggots. Oh, maybe it would be better. She's like,
I mean we were all biggots on the show. Yeah.
So it's like it's like, so are you admitting that
your character was at biggest? Like I don't know, just
like come on. So has so much Like there's like
all the fat phobia with Monica, you know when her
past life. There's also like the commentary and like body
dysmorphia with Jennifer Anderson's like nose job in the show
(13:05):
because like she had a very traditional Jewish nose. Yeah,
Rachel Green job, Rachel Green. Yeah. There's obviously the transphobia
with Chandler and just general like queer phobia with Chandler's mom.
There's like clearly the just like blatant racism. Yeah. Uh,
as super producer Brian put in the chat, there's literally
no people of color on the show. There was like
(13:25):
rock Tex girlfriend who they treated horribly. She deserves so
much better as Tyler when Tyler was playing the Yeah,
I remember that, like the queer phobia, or like the
lesbian phobia of um making a joke out of Ross's
baby mama and her wife, you know, the evil lesbians
right right right, Like yeah, yeah, Brian's like no people
(13:48):
of color in New York, Like, yeah, what New York is? That?
Is this not even not even pre white people always
come only like Manhattan. It's just like so crazy. It's
like they weren't getting in the Upper West Side. Like yeah,
I mean, look, I get it, Jennifer. You know what
the heck is going on. Kids, kids are aware that everything,
(14:11):
everyone's values are adapting to a world that's trying to
be more inclusive and humane, so you don't have to
put people through the fucking traumatic shit of like joking
about their existence. But okay, okay, yeah, because you know,
this shit isn't on Peacock and this or whatever the
fuck streaming service, and it's not like y'all just had
a fucking huge like reunion special. Like it's like y'all
(14:32):
got so much enough people being with y'all, don't worry,
Like can you just sit back, be quiet, enjoy your money,
and go away, Like no one's asking for your social
commentary on if your show was woke or not. Like
it's smarter for you to be silent than for you
to say anything, because you're going to say the wrong
thing obviously, as you already have, Like you created the
spinoff basically you know, of How I Met your Mother,
(14:54):
Like it is such an emulation of like friends and
like that show which is really which is really living
single you know friends. Yeah, well yeah, I look, it's
it's funny when all these like I think for them,
they just they have such a hard time thinking that
(15:14):
something that they engaged in with such joy and like
purity maybe from their perspective, could be seen as offensive now.
But yeah, you know what, that's how a lot of
vaudeville acts look now too. You know what it is
that's just at the time people were that's how people
were cooking. Yeah, it's like obviously it's a product of
its time. We're like not blaming you for being so
(15:37):
problematic like you are, you know, a cog in the
machine that is the whole spectrum of making a show,
right the writer's room, showrunners, like, there's so many people.
It's not us on the cast of Friends to be
the wokest of woke people to be fighting on the
front lines of being like, but I don't want to
date more people of color, right right, right? I know?
(15:57):
I mean I think also, like you gotta also read
like they're telling on themselves to like that's us and
that's big. Yeah you're like, oh, okay, whatever, Jennifer, you know,
just just count your money, you know, Yeah, why don't
you want to? I mean, I get it. It's probably
addictive if you're like in the line like that much.
But shit, if you had fuck you money forever forever,
(16:21):
I'd be like, funk all this, bro, you're not gonna
see me. I'm gonna be like laying down permanently for
the rest of my life in this mon do an
interview again. I'd be like I would be I'm saying,
I would be in the sun all day, all day,
going in the water, you know what I mean, get
my hair transplant, turn it in and yeah, and then
(16:41):
finally guess what, the board cube has arrived. I am
Miles cut us of borg resistance is futile. Your life
as it has been is over. From this time forward.
You will service us because we're hitting them Borgs. So
I know y'all talked there's borg discourse going on. I
(17:02):
missed the borge discourse. And I'm sure y'all have heard
this again because you're gonna hear it again. So but
if you don't know, borgs are black outrage gallons that
are all the rage with gen Z right now? Whils Yeah,
children's so what the children's are sipping on now? Again?
This is just their way to binge drink. But when
(17:22):
I saw this, I was like, I just saw caught
a couple of videos, was watching the excitement around borgs,
and I just loved this idea of you taking a
half gallon of water, putting like emptying a fucking fifth
of liquor into it and then adding like mew and
an electrolyte package, and you're like, and this is the
shit that we fucking party with. Um, I don't know,
(17:47):
like part of me, I think I love the idea
that because a lot of them they swear it prevents hangovers,
which I'm like, which I'm like, bullshit. But they're like
the alcohol to water ratio cares you, and I'm like, no,
there's more, there's no water, Like you're still processing all
that alcohol absolutely, and you know, depending on what kind
of alcohol you get, there's no helping you. Um. Also,
(18:09):
y'all are nine years old, you're not gonna get hangovers. Okay,
the same me when you fucking thirty eight and you
hit a borg and then you fucking the CPS is
taking your whole your whole family away, okay, because you're
hangovers so fucking bad. But yeah, I just seeing this,
like it just reminded me of the things, like it's
just interesting to see the evolution because for me, the
(18:30):
first thing we did, I didn't do power hours, but
you know that was like a lot of things, a
lot of the like white kids are in like my
high school doing. But the first one I did was
Edward forty hands because for hands, a classic, it's so
stupid forties to your hands and have to fucking power
through them. Also cause a lot of problems. Uh. And
(18:50):
then you know there's jungle juice too, And then I've
moved on to space bags. You know, I was doing
space bags for a while. You know when you what's
wizard sword. Oh, it's when you would um drink beers
like hands and then you take them together. Yeah you
want to fight people. Yeah, we missed that. We missed
(19:11):
that one because we just got Yeah, I was on
space bags is taking the bladder out of box wine
and just yeah, just getting that. I used to bring
jugs of Carlo Rossi sangria to like house parties just
because and in a way that was my early board
because I would get the one gallon Carlo Rossi jug
because in my mind, I was like, this looks stupid
as fun to pull up with a gallon juggle what
(19:32):
fucking wine to a party. So in a way, the
board resonates with me. But the magical powers of the
board bring their own handles to parties. That's scary. Well,
if you brought a handle, hopefully you're you're like spreading
the wealth. You know, there's some redistributing, not to recamp
my own college or not me, but you know, I
knew some people would bring their own handle fireball because
(19:54):
all of us hated it. We're like and they would
chug the fireball, like they would go from house to
house being like, uh, I mean like drink the fireball
and like making people take shots of the fireball, and
all of us are like, none of us want this fireball, God, fireball.
They are married to their handle a fireball. I don't
like when people like, I know people who like love
(20:14):
Southern comfort and I'm like, how do you drink that?
How like in the way you're talking about They're like, Soco,
what's up? Have some Soco. I'm like, get the fuck
away from me with that shit. That ship used to
Oh my god, one of the worst hangovers I ever
had was from hanging with one of these Soco fucking evangelists,
(20:36):
and it nearly caused a terrible, terrible condition. What's wild though, two,
is like I didn't realize, like at you mass there
was like like a mass event of like seventeen like
like numerous kids having to go to the hospital for
alcohol poisoning. I think shows you that, Yeah, I think
they're so smart. And I mean I would say that
the borg is smart in the sense of not getting roofy,
(20:57):
you know, like we were going to parties, you know,
at least, yeah, I was drinking out a garbage can. Yeah,
you're literally like doing the beer pong and you're drinking
the beer from the cans as the balls have fallen
into them, like they weren't putting water. You know, we
were drinking. Remember do you remember when the first time
you saw someone be like, nah, I just have the
beer on the side, don't why. It was literally after yeah,
(21:21):
oh the same, And I remember being like that, ain't
how you play and they're like, but it's so dirty,
and I was like, yeah, so you're not drinking a
beer that way? Yeah, right, exactly? Whatever that huh. You know,
the jungle juice was scary. You didn't know who made it,
where it came from. Very easy to get Roofie. So
I do support the Borg in not getting Roofie. Oh
(21:42):
I'm not knocking the Borg at all, you know. I'm
just I am knocking the Boorg out of the alcohol
poison because they think they're smarter than us. It's like,
you gotta know your limit. You gotta know it. Just
like just like with the actual Borg from Star Trek,
strength is irrelevant, Resistance is futile. To quote the Borg.
I honestly, I'm like jealous that the board existed because
(22:03):
I remember the big drinks when I was in college
was a the scary um handle of fireball someone would
bring around be Malibu and coke. You know, malibu handle
oh when you do the violent like kuba libre where
you don't ditch half the two leader yep, yep, yeah,
and then very specifically um oh in Texas. Actually, I'm sorry.
(22:28):
I didn't mean to call a Malibu and coke an
actual kuba libre. That's because that's that's a viola. Forgive me,
forgive me evoking yea, I know, but you know, for
real people, they're gonna be like, no, I don't, don't
say Malibu is the kind of fucking run that's going
in there. That's the ranger. The Tennessee Honey Whiskey and
Doctor Pepper Central Texas staple. Wow See Tennessee Honey came
(22:49):
out after college for me, and I remember it's too
sweet that I was like, it just was. I was like, no,
I don't need sweet anymore. I'm like, I'm just sip
lean because I don't need to drink a twenty ounce bottle.
And then don't worry about me. Just check if I'm breathing.
It was truly like, oh, like that was like my
first like college alcohol experience as a Tennessee Honey whiskey
and the doctor pepper. I was like, oh, I can't
taste it, and I was like, this is dangerous. Yeahn't
(23:12):
oh if you put it in the doctor peppers. And
I get that, like, especially when you're in college too,
like when you don't quite have the requisite darkness in
your soul to drink liquor straight. It's more about how
can I get really fucked up in a way that
doesn't make me Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly, and then I
know I feel it. I'm like just like vibing and
you were saying the kids are naming their boards too,
(23:35):
like with penny names, Miles, I have a little um
A Bee told me who's in college right now, that
they name their boards and that in naming the borgs,
it can either be themed, like based on the party
you're going to or whatever. But it's like a fun
way to identify your borg is to name it. And
these are some fun names I pulled from We're adulting
(23:56):
dot com. It is a college blog site because the
tabs are home, dorm, room, holiday, college, apartments, sorority or names.
So here's some Borg names. Um we got borgasm Okay,
Borg meets World, Um Solja Borg, breaking Borg, Badenborgie Laborg,
(24:21):
James Lightning, Mcborg. We are never ever getting borged together,
Captain Borgan, Jason Borgorgina who I like for me? Okay,
borga Borg who lived to Borg or not to Borg?
Rick and Borgie Early Borg catches the worm Borg to
be wild certified lover Borg. Oh wow, not missing with
(24:44):
that last one. But you know what you can. I like,
I said, Ernest Borg nine for y'all who are really
come on, y'all don't know Ernest Borg nine. That's right there,
um or justin big Borg Saturdays are for the Borgs,
Borgy and Bess for all my real from my real
(25:05):
musical fans out there. Well, anyway, I'm glad we got
to talk about Borgs. Shout out you know, all the
Borg drinkers out there, if you got any cool Boorg
recipes or if you think it's just an absolutely I mean,
look in a way, it's good to know that like
millennials and gen z are actually drinking like less. We've talked,
We've talked about that very past episodes like despite all this,
like across the board, millennials and gen Z like are
drinking less than you know, Gen X and the boomers
(25:27):
before them. So boorg get up, y'all as safe as
you can. But you know, I'm not here advocating bringe drinking.
But if I was nineteen, they earnest board nine, I'm
telling you, and I would try to probably drink nine
borgs to try and get that moniker and then end
up somewhere in a bad place. So do not be
like me. Be smart, finish your studies, and then do
(25:48):
your prayers every night. Like Okay, becka, thank you for
joining me, and thank you all for listening. We'll be
back tomorrow with a brand new episode. Take care of yourself,
take care of each other, be kind to yourself, get
that vaccine if you haven't already, and you know, just
just fucking be a force for good, you know, stand
up to any kind of isms or phobias. Okay, yea,
(26:08):
thank you for your bar recommendations. By the way, what
would you get some good ones? I did? I got
some going alright. I went to google them. You can't
wait to pound a borg near you? All right, Later
