Speaker 1 (00:03):
Is this like a universal truth? Like men don't know
the age of their friends' kids. Mmm, like so many times,
even my closest friends.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Let's see, how old do you think my kids are?
I mean I refer to them by their age on
the show, so you probably know that one.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah, well, I would say the geist child is.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I can tell because your youngest child was born. I
know when he was born because we.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Just started the show, right, right, so he's always the show.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
He's seven years old, yes, because that was twenty eighteen.
I remember that was the first spring, winter or beginning
of the year.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I remember from that year. And I know your other kid.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Is just is nine, that's right.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah, And I can tell you for sure that the
geist child cannot yet smoke. That's about as specific as
I can go. Really really er your bedout right, I'm
gonna go for I'm pretty good.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I feel like I'm at eighteen.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Jack, we haven't even known each other eighteen, That's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I mean, yeah, I got a bad sense of time.
It is wild.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Like one of my you know, my best friend growing up,
like sent me his kid's drivers permit, and I had
like fucking yeah, yeah, Jack, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
That's like a funny thing too, Like I have to
really rack my brain because I can remember the year
like and I go from there. It's not like I
always have a running thing. It's like, Okay, they just
turned this age. They just turned this age. I'm like
they were born this year because I remember thing that
was happening that year.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I had a friend because I like to the area
I moved. One of my friends mentioned like a mutual
friend who I haven't seen in years, like lives like
in the area.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
And I was like, he's like, oh, he's got a
kid too, And.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I'm like, oh, how old He's like, dude, I want
to say, like four, the kid is turning two. He
jumped that head two years like an infielder right now.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
It is because in one and five. But that's like
the difference. So yeah, yeah, the difference to a parent
between two and four is so vast. Sure, sure, oceans
of time.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
But to an outsider, it's like, I don't know, like
when when did Moana to come out? Did it come
out two years ago or four years ago? I don't
fucking know, you know, like came out. I'd be like,
you know, like my ability to know, the difference between
how many years ago something happened is pretty uh shoddy
in general.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So yeah, if I have not.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Been interacting with that kid, I am going to when
I see them for the first time, say and who
the fuck is this?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yes, I think I'm around people who were just way
on top of their ship.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Like all my homegirls know all the ages. Yeah, yeah, no,
so much better. They probably all talk to each other
more about women.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
No, but I just like, yeah, I just communicate that,
like's not just it's not just Tim Allen grunts.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, I'm like, how many how many Tim Allen grunts
is this kid?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I feel like.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
My life when I hang out with my friends is like,
so they what are they? What's going on with them?
Career wise?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Like what are you?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
And I'm like, you know, I've never known what he
does for a living at all, Like what are you?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Like one of my.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
College friends, Like he's you know, he has a law degree,
and like he's kinda he does different stuff. But like
when you hang out, we don't talk about that, you know,
we just yeah, various things, and anybody in like we
just we just don't talk man at the wall, we yeah,
and anybody in the world of finance. I'm just like,
(03:52):
I've got one friend who's actually interesting to hear talk
about that ship, and like, so I will, like I
ask him what's going on with his work, But most
other people like I don't talk to them about it,
and if I ask them about it, they don't want
to talk about that shitt here.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yeah, my friend from middle school, I have no idea
what he does for a job.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
We've been friends for decades. And then my other friend,
no idea at all. Like, you couldn't even make this point.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
No, I don't know what he used to be a carpenter.
I don't know what he does for work.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Now, man, I know a carpenter who hold on. That's
a pretty good story line.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
You're in good company.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
It sounds like, yeah, my man, JC, he's got something
to say.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Hello the Internet and welcome to this episode of week
Trendy Guys. Yeah, do you know the me saying dirnally
zay guys for seven years in a row is what
fried my vocal cords?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I thought I was snorting all that powdered milk. That
powdered milk. Jac I'm that over there is mister Miles Gray.
We were, of course, referencing the urban legend, possibly true
story loose theory. The al pacino's voice when he went
from talking like Michael Corleone in a normal voice to
talking like.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Sam with the.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Was all of the powdered milk that he had to
snort in scarface.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
That's like wild up his whole ship.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I wonder like what the whole process was for like that,
like the prop master when it's like, all right, we
got to figure out some.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Ship for him to snort.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Besides, and if we can't keep doing cocaine because it's
messing up the production.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
So I guess powdered milk do we look into that?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Okay, it's not just gonna whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
It was just the most you drink milk, you're you're like,
you've got thick.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Spit going for the whole day.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
He's just like just stuck in your yeah, imagine milk throat,
but in your sinus.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, just plowing through caterpillar lines of fucking powdered milk.
Feel bad for all those people in the eighties having
to do fake coke. I know, Uh'll remember, all right,
my name is Jack got over there is Miles Gray.
This is the episode where we tell you what's trending
on this Monday morning, what was trending over the weekend. First,
(06:24):
we get to know you a little bit better by
telling you some things that we pick are overrated underrated.
We ask our guests every day what they think is
overrated underrated? Uh, this is this is our chance to
get some stuff off our chest.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
You know what I'm saying. Let's start. Should we start overrated?
Get what's cheesing you off? Man? What's me? Thing's overrated?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Me?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Man? Who? Me? Fucking millionaires?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Man? Just getting away with it all the time. Specifically
this Steve Balmer, Kawhi Leonard this one to man to
it's Pablo Tore every fucking week now is like truly.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
They're calling him the boogeyman.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
It feels like the Kendrick Drake like beef, but except
it's just like upsetting legal documents about how pretty allegedly
but pretty clearly does.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Feel like that like that way.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I had that same thought as he was dropping like
his fifth episode where he's like and here's more documentation. Yeah,
because so he found out that Steve Baumber like basically
did this thing where he funneled a huge investment into
this company that was ended up being a scam. Nobody
allegedly knew it was the Scape at the time, and
then that money was then paid to Kawhi Leonard by
(07:44):
that same company YEA for doing nothing in order to
get around the salary cap because they had signed Kawhi
Leonard to a salary that was He's like, Kawhi Leonard
is one of the best players in the NBA, but
you have the salary cap that like makes it so
no team can just come through like the Yankees and
just fucking score.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Everyone all all the money.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And so the way he got around that was kind
of this like sloppy thing where I mean, I guess
it's not sloppy in the sense that we wouldn't have
found out about it if this company hadn't been.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Ye bankrupt and then sued and everything becomes public. Yeah,
and then everything becomes public.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
But he's been going through the documents and just finding
incriminating piece of evidence after incriminating piece of evidence. His
fellow billionaire Mark Cuban has been defending him, being like,
no one would do this.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
This is just he's you're wrong. He was scammed.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
He didn't know, and then that he just happened to
invest money in Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, it feels like Pablo Torre is actually in the
beef with Mark Cuban because Mr Cuban says a thing
and then Pablo Torre is like, I actually have documentation that,
Like as Mark he was like, right, I don't know.
It's like if it happened, then he would have to
do it this way and maybe like he would probably
prop up the company and probablytories like, oh, interesting, there's.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Some more that she did exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
That's like he knows the whole case, and that's why
it's really interesting to him just to drip it out
because it makes everyone.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Look more fucking bad.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
And also the people that defend Steve Balmer look even
worse because they're like, well, it probably was done this
or maybe it wasn't. Evidence comes out that refutes it,
and it just again like sports is used like the
one thing that people kind of feel is like free
from like all the fucking chaos of the world. But
in the era of big money, like that's completely gone,
(09:37):
and you know, the insanely wealthy owner trope has been
around forever, but like salary caps kept things somewhat under control,
especially like in the NBA. Like for us, we've been
talking about it for the last few years. The amount
like the parody that exists in the NBA is unlike
anything I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
It's super fun.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It makes Yeah, it makes it crazy that like the
Oklahoma City Thunder, who were like a joke team three
years ago, just won the championship.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, right exactly.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
And then like when you have people like Balmer just
coming in and sloppily skirting the rules like a common CEO,
it's just like it just it's it's really fucking infuriating,
and it has nothing to do with like the team
or whatever, like I I my fucking allegiance to the
Lakers aside, Like just looking at this, it just shows
I think that's what it is. I just hate the
(10:25):
fact that that entire way of doing business, which like
well I'm a billionaire and I have my own rules,
is just done so blatantly in the in people's faces.
And now you have a league with the NBA where
Adam Silver is like not not being as unequivocal as
I'd like him to be when he's talking about like
put like laying the hammer down on people who circumvent
the cap rules.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
It's like, are you really going to do it?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Because Pablo Torre is really making it difficult now for
the NBA to like not do you know, come down
seriously on the Clippers.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, I mean it's cool because he's a you know,
he's a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, he's a podcaster. His
podcast is you know, once he gets on his previous
thing that he got into is just the Bill Belichick
and his twenty two year old girlfriend thing. That was
a fun thread, and like when he gets on a
thread like this, it's definitely worth listening because, like, especially
with this one, it's a white collar malfeasance at a
(11:18):
time when literally nobody else is paying attention to that,
you know, like the authorities are asleep at the wheel,
and so he's able to like just go in and
get the low hanging fruit. But for people who don't know,
Steve Bomber is the richest owner in any sport. He's
one of the richest people in the world. He co
founded Microsoft with Bill Gates, and they had an episode
(11:40):
recently just about the parallels between what Microsoft got caught
doing and then in the nineties. This is a big yeah,
and Steve Bomber was the like head of the company
at the time that they were caught doing anti competitive
stuff blatantly by the US government and like to you know,
(12:02):
it's like the one anti monopoly thing that has happened
that like really the government pushed back on. That's how
blatant they were being. Best detail I learned over the
past week is because I think it's easy to lose
sight of like how much money was at stake here.
So COWI letterd to do nothing again, to do nothing,
Kwi Letter got twenty million dollars I think from this
(12:23):
company to do nothing twenty eight I think, yeah, okay,
twenty eight. He's getting paid more by this company to
do nothing then he's getting paid by New Balance for
being there. They're the face of New Balance, Yeah, face
of their basketball thing, like, which was a huge Like
(12:43):
the fact that they New Balance got Kawhi Leonard was
wild that we were like whoa, Like that's a huge
get for them. That's like an amazing amount of value.
The idea that this company would just pay him for
doing nothing, just yeah, it seems very unrealistic.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Anyways, It's it's just it's just wild to think.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
It's like he's the face of a brand for X
amount of money, but then he can get more money
to literally just do nothing. Because again it's it wasn't it.
It's not that he was ever doing anything with this company.
They were just funneling money to him.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
But yeah, this is not abnormal for Steve Balmer, obviously
as the head of Microsoft who previously got caught doing
anti competitive things, but also just like billionaires, as we
keep talking about on this show, like it is what
they do. They rewrite the history. It's very important to
America's ethos and the American zeitgeist to believe that these
are remarkable people who are doing things with like creative
(13:41):
normal brain power.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yeah, they're amazing brain power. And then you know, so they.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Rewrite these biographies where they like started everything from a
garage and all this bullshit, and then you actually look
at the reporting and it's just they find loopholes and
exploit loopholes, is what they do. And they our predatory
and will do whatever it takes to make a bunch
of money orleen.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Or whatever whatever their fucking worldview is. But yeah, it's
just but Pablo Tory, god bless. Yeah, shout out to
him to keep turning the heat up on the league,
because that would be the next scandal, is if the
NBA just kind of.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
THEBA just looks the other way.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah, because again, like you said, Bomber's so fucking wealthy.
It's like you could buy the league if you want to,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Like it's just like he's his that's just looming over everything.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
My overrated is my ability to sneeze with mouthwash in
my mouth.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
It's an overrated ability. It is overrated by me, probably
what I'm about to tell you.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
So, Okay, I put mouthwash in my mouth. Immediately sneeze
coming on. Uh had the mouthful of mouthwash, and I
just thought I'd be able to hold it in like
like focus the sneeze through my nose and not lose
your mouth wash. You didn't want to, like I didn't
(15:06):
want to waste the mouth wash. It like this, this
is good mouthwash that I just put in my mouth.
I was like barely started rinting, and so I tried
it and it was like a bottle of mouthwash had
detonated in my bathroom. Like I don't know how it
was just everything in sight was covered with like a
(15:29):
fine mist of plaques shot out plaques by the way,
great mouthwash.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Thank you. There was literally I know there was like
an outline of my toothbrush cup on the mirror. That's how.
That's how.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
And I hate to make a Hiroshima atomic bomb reference,
but the shadow was burned.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Yes, that's how. That's how successful I was. How do
you feel now? Uh?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
You know, I feel like I just I learned an
important less so that I keep learning over and over
again as I get older. That like, I don't know,
I've talked before about how like you know that scene
in the Other Guys where the two hero cops are like,
we're gonna make it like jump to to a thing
across the and then they don't make it. Like Yeah,
(16:17):
I always have that thought where I'm like, I could
I could jump from this building to that time, I
could throw this football clear over the mountains. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
And yeah, I just feel like I can go mind
over body. But the physics of the situation make themselves real,
and then you gotta have real and realer as I
get older. Yeah, gotta think positively, that's right. Anyways, that's
(16:40):
my override. What's something Miles that you think is underrated?
The comic kazi retail worker.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Okay, there's nothing like the kind of hookup you get
at a store than from a person working retail who
does not give a fuck, someone who has one foot
out the or someone who just got back from a
job interview for a better job and is now just
running the clock out. I had the great honor of
(17:11):
intersecting with one of these people, these hero retail workers,
over the weekend, because her majesty took me out to
get a birthday gift on over the weekend. So and
I wanted some new cups. She's like, what do you
want for you? I was like, you know, we lost
everything fire, I would like some cups. I've been drinking
with my hands for the PF like this just together,
(17:34):
just slurping out of the sink or out of our
drinking bucket.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
But we don't even have a dipper.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
But like I wanted to get like these like really cool,
like just like these coffee cups. Okay that were just
like kind of like the I liked like the ceramics
of it.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
So there's a store we went into.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
We get to the store, It's like fucking two right,
and the store is closed, and I'm like, what the
fuck is going on?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Like, I know the store is open.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
We go next door and I'm like, are they do
the people like leave for lunch. You're like, yeah, they
should be back in like twenty minutes. We come back
like forty minutes later, still nobody there. Yeah, And then
I'm like, what the fuck's going on? Then some guy
pulls up behind He's like, oh, what's up, guys. This
is like a multinational company, Like this isn't something like
BOUTI right.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
I'm like, what's up. He's like, oh, my bad, dude,

two hours. He's talking to me like this, like very
converon and I'm like, okay, Like this.

Sorry about that, man. I shouldn't have had you guys
play it like that.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
So I go all right, and then like the guy
was clearly very like loose. So I'm just talking to him, yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I'm like, what's going on, man?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Like, how do you like work here?
Speaker 1 (18:57):

couple of these mugs and a couple like two of
those mugs, and he's like, for sure, dog, He's like,
I'm gonna hook you up fat, and I go. When
he said hook you up fat, I'm like, first of all,
this guy smokes weed, because that's like a weed dealer
talk you have, fat dog, I'll hook you a faty
dog right now.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I'm pretty sure he was also trying to communicate to
you that he deals with maybe yeah, maybe. I mean
like there was an understanding when it came in all
fucking weird, and I was like, bro, no fucking problem, dog,
I don't even give a shit.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Like you, do you?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
This fucking guy gave me fifty percent off and didn't
even charge me for like other shit.

I'm just gonna like whatever, dude. He's like, I usually
I can give like twenty. I'll just give you fIF
like dude, and he goes, I'll give you fifty. I
don't even give a fuck. Hell yeah, And I was like, yes, dog,
thank you amazing. And I just think of like when
I used to do that when I worked at like
the art like laser tag place. I used to give
(20:15):
kids like tokens for the arcade machine and like I
was trying to hook them, Like I was like, I
just don't give a fuck, And that was like my
way to be like rebel.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I'm like, y'all paying me, min.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
My, wait, watch this, here's your fucking tokens?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Do that have one with that?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
So again, I just love somebody who is just willing
to give that discount, you know.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
What I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Amazing And I get to when you don't fear death anymore,
like in terms of getting fired getting fired, you are
actually the most one of the most powerful beings in retail.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
This place sucks. Shit, do low key, bro, I'm fucking
I'm off this shit. And I'm like, where are you
off to next? He's like, dude, there's this custom furniture place.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Dog.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
He's like, the couches are so expensive, but if I
saw like three in a fucking month, I'll make way
more than I do fucking here.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
And I'm like sick.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
He's like, also, I might help start a restaurant. Then
he like lists about like eight different plans and I'm like, yeah, oh,
to be twenty four, I know, you know what I mean.
I was like, all right, doggie, you do you thank
you for my mugs?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
I'm out.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
You're like, you should definitely start that restaurant. Man, look
this right there. Oh, very beautiful mug. Yeah, very beautiful.
What's yours? My underrated is just how weird it is
that Taylor Swift is marrying Travis Kelce there. I know
people are probably aware of the story by now, but
there was a moment in the game. This weekend Travis
(21:35):
Kelsey played against the Giants of New York and headbutt
Andy Reid or she like almost got into a fistfight
with Andy Reid, his coach, on the sideline, and everyone.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Was like, oh, trouble in Paradise.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
But anybody who like follows the chief was like, no,
they do that every week.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Like he's just he's you just gotta like.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Read it, get into it all the time. They just like,
I think he knows that it like psychs him up
or something like gets in his face and like you
just gotta let him like froth himself up into a
big dumb rage, which is, you know, great coaching.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
I feel like because he doesn't, like.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I remember seeing it for the first time, being like, yo,
they can't like literally like start hitting each other. And
then it's just like every week with those two. But
it just gave me a moment of pause to like
take a step back and be like Taylor Swift is
known for being like literary, and she's essentially marrying Gronk is.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Slightly more put together, articulate Gronk.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, like Gronk probably, yeah, but like I don't know,
it's just like what if fucking Beyonce had very Gronk
instead of jay Z.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
So weird it's just it is very weird. It is
an odd coupling. It is an odd coupling.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
It makes sense like if you're doing like the story
book versions, like and the most famous pop star married
the football man and they.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Lived happily ever after.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
But yeah, very much like there's that song American Teenager
I think by Ethel Kane that's like a like satire
of those types of like Americana, like Taylor Swift songs,
and it feels like a something out of that song,
Like it's just so on the nose and like it
does feel yeah like that that's something that Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Is acutely aware of.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
The like, you know, doing the thing that you would
expect the most popular girl in high school to do
and marrying the like hottest fall star guy makes sense
with her whole like miss Americana thing. It's just viewed
at a different angle. It's like this is very strange.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I wonder if, like Andy Reid on their wedding days, like, hey, Taylor,
a little bit of advice get in his face.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
He's a fucking idiot. Yeah, and he'll get shit done.
He gets you done, all right. Those are some things
we think are over it underrated. I'm sure a thousand
people have made that observation, but it did this week
watching him can lose his absolute mind.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Let's take a quick break and we'll be back to
talk about some of the news. And we're back, and
Charlie Kirk's funeral was this weekend, massive turnout, big stadiums.
(24:40):
His wife said she forgave the killer.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, I was not interested in seeing the death penalty,
which is like that it didn't make that many headlines
like or it doesn't feel like it's going to be
the lasting takeaway from the movement in the same way
as the funeral. Yeah, I forgive him. Turn the other
it is real uh cuck stuff that Trump.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Then just came out and was like, Yo, turn that
out of the cheeks, so smack that cheek too.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
He basically was like fuck that. He was either like
an I'm sorry, Erica, I hate my enemies, I hate him, yeah,
and I don't wish them well but not biteen either,
and just everyone's like whoa. It was interesting because the
crowd wasn't like, it wasn't like raucous cheering, like oh,
like they were.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Is a memorial that is caused by political division, like
and yeah, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
So that was like the one thing I was like, Okay,
well he stay didn't It didn't erupt in cheers when
he said that.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
It was more.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
But either way, every pretty much every person that spoke
was doing whatever they could to fan the flames. Like
Steven Miller started evoking the storm like on some QAnon
shit and he's like they were woken an army and
they've got nothing, and you're like, WHOA, Okay, you know
a lot of people I think again they're trying to
make this the pro erbial fork in the road where
(26:01):
the right embraces evil and violence because it's now been become.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Justified even more so than they were already right. Just
to reiterate that, I mean, there was actually like an
NBC News report where they talked to people familiar with
the investigation. Like we said last week, there were all
sorts of you know, right wing news outlets that were
saying that this was part of a premeditated attack from
(26:26):
you know, multiple people had been posting in this quote
unquote like Transforum saying like September tenth is going to
be a day like watch out, Charlie Kirk and shit
like that. Those posts were all made up, They were
all fabricated. There is no evidence of a connection to
(26:50):
any left wing group. It appears to be somebody who
was acting alone. Is everything we know about the investigation.
It was one and like most things like this too, Yeah,
like that how it happened. But yeah, if you just
watch these speeches, you would assume that, like this was
(27:10):
some terrorist act that was officially claimed by Antifa or
something like that.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Tucker Carlson, I do want to just give a you know,
he there there was a moment towards the end of
last week where people were like Tucker Carlson's even calling
out Trump's anti free speech rhetoric.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
He gave a speech at the memorial that was like
so unhinged, whereas like he was talking about how, you know,
little guy I know who's a carpenter by the name
of j C. Yeah, had some things to say that
some people didn't like and they decided to kill him.
(27:51):
And you know, it was just a lot of anti
Semitic dog whistles.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Name is dog screaming, dog barking, you know what I mean,
Like evoking the crucifixion as a way, Yeah, as a
way to keep the Israel did It conspiracy theory alive
is fucking nasty shit. But again, I expect nothing less
from a group of people who are so opportunistic in
weaponizing a tragedy for their own dark ass aims that
(28:20):
something like this would happen, Like, you know, it is
what it is, and now.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
We'll see what happens now.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I mean, like, you know, there was talk over the
weekend about trying to designate Antifa or trans people as
like a violent extremist group.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
It's there.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
They're doing everything they can to use this moment to
just create as as many illegal categories of people as possible.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah, it does.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
It really does remind me of the aftermath of nine
to eleven, where it was like, oh, they're going to
blame this on it Iraq, Like you could tell right away.
It was just like how are they going to figure
out how to do that? The way they did that
at the time was like fabricated evident and you know,
search for weapons of mass destruction. I remains to be
(29:07):
seen if if they will do that, or if they
will even like go to the trouble of inventing evidence,
or if they'll just rhetorically continue to do it over
and over again.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, I mean because it's it's weird too, because like
even on the right, like there, there isn't even a
real consensus on who did it, Like it depends on
what flavor of right wing extremism you're into, right, Like
some people are going to be like it was AOC,
you know, like Antifa or other people, like it was
trans people.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Other there's a ton of people like it was Israel,
and you're not going to tell me otherwise.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, And so I mean again, like quite a fucking
quite an audience they've developed over there.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
The Tucker, like the part where he just bursts into
like weird, like inappropriate laughter at one point, is right,
is unnerving, very unnerving. All right, let's check in with
my goat, Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Oh, Tom Brady, Like you just go check in with
your goat?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
You walk outside? Hey, you doing okay?
Speaker 3 (30:09):
All right? But here's an apple? All right, He's good.
I wish all right? What else?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah, more sports ball talk, But there's another going around
football talk. But I only know this because I saw
two things pop up on my feeds, which was like
Travis Kelcey and Andy Reid in each other's face.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
And then this clip of Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
So there's a game between the Cowboys and up Bears
where Tom Brady gave some interesting commentary. So George Pickens
bobbled Cowboys player bobbled ended up in a pick. Yeah,
ended up in a pick, and he was pissed at
himself after the plays. He just slamming his helmet and
anger on the sidelines.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
And then this is how this is how Tom Brady
sums up the football player angry at himself for missing
the pass and being violent with his helmet. This is
this is tom Brady's goat commentary.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Arms picks, not happy. Yeah, those helmets can be. It's
like the dog at home time out on the field.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Huh, wow, I'll tell you a dog killed the helmets
man or whatever.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Man.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I feel like whoever is doing his commentary with him
was trying to be like, let's.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Move on with that. Wow yo.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
And also out of context, it just sounds like he's
responding that way to day Wow.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Oh you are a psycho.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Hey, the guys smashing that, you know, it's like the
dog at home? Oh what kick the dogs? Whatever it takes,
whatever it takes.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
To what you kick your dog?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
What I mean, I shouldn't be surprised that this is
another quarterback in the NFL who's a little who's kind
of not unfamiliar with what animal abuse is.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Yeah, right, that does seem to get to the top
you need.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yeah, like the dog at home is so dark, that's.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Very Bateman, is very Patrick Bateman, which is the energy
that he kind of gives off is just like holding
it together so fucking hard. Yeah yeah, but you know
that like that, it's got to come out somewhere.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah, just like the dog at home. You know, it's
got to come out somewhere. I saw the thing about
I didn't realize he he owns part of the Raiders
now because people will.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Be like the Raiders and is in the booth with
their coaches, and people were like, he can probably tell
them stuff because as a reporter you like learn things
from coaches.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
But I uh, I don't know. I doubt that that's
actually happening. But I think people just don't.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
There's something about this guy who talks casually about kicking dogs.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
People not want to what's he's saying with that headset on?
Who's he talking to you? Like the defensive coordinator. Guys
kicked the dog. Kick the dog. Guys kick the dog.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
What is this?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Christ saw him saying up there, keep saying to kick
the dog?
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Is that a play? All right?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Back to the world of Christianity. Big week for Kirk
Cameron because it looks like the rapture is finally tomorrow.
Big big news about tomorrow. According to TikTok, tomorrow is
the day of the Christian Rapture began with a statement
from a South African pastor named Joshua male Keayla okay.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
But we'll go with that.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
I'm not sure that that's exactly how you pronounced it.
Claimed that Jesus would return during Rashashana and the rapture
will occur on September twenty third, twenty twenty five. His
source is that he saw Jesus sitting on his throne
and I could hear him very loud and clear, saying
I am coming soon. I like that he kept it vague,
(33:51):
like a teaser trailer.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
What was Jesus doing though, sitting on his throne, bro
Lam coming soon? Sitting there, you're doing Someboddy starting on
a throne man talking about how he's gonna come coming.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Soon, coming soon to a theater near you. This, I like,
is all of that. I've seen so much rapture talk.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
It's just because this guy confidently said that it's it's tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Well, I think it's I think it's become a very
popular well of course.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I mean I all in on it, you know what
I mean. I love the what was that? The leftovers? Oh,
the leftovers. I think this is wishful thinking. I do
think that everybody is just waiting for something to end,
Like it just feels hard to imagine the future, and
(34:41):
so people are just you know, I think this is
similar to people on the left having commentary on Trump's health.
You know, just like some act of God that will
come and make it all stop.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Right right right? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:57):
In this case, you know the way it would make
it all stop in the in the sense that all
all of the Christians would just be out of.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Here and then we would be left behind. Mmmm.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
And as the leftovers illustrated, there would be like wild
fucking parties.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Do you think you'd be raptured or you think you'd
be you'd join like the cigarette smoker cult.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I think I'd be joining the cigarette smoker oh, you'd
left left. Oh, I think i'd be Oh, you're you
seem pretty confident that you'd be raptured.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
You're I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
It seemed kind of fucked up where they were at, right,
Like that didn't was it? Were they being called to
heaven or the rapture takes everybody to Hell? No, rapture
take everybody to heaven? Man, Yeah, yeah, yeah, So this
is everybody disappears from.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Earth and you go meet Jesus up in the sky.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
It's a meet and greet with Jesus, and then like
twenty years from now, we have climate change licked. Because
you have to think that most of those uh, most
of those oil executives are of a certain persuasion. Sure,
And I don't know, I feel like that I would,
I would be very happy for them. I'm very happy
(36:10):
for us. I think if this was this was about
to happen. But tiktak is just absolutely We now have
rapture Talk, which is just rapping for the rapture, offering
tips on how to endure the actual trip to heaven,
the benefits of leaving Bibles behind for us the unchosen,
uh huh. And you know some of these are seemingly
(36:30):
from actual Christians, but a whole lot of.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Them are clearly jokes.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
One woman made headlines for saying that she sold her
house and car prior to the rapture. But then like,
you know, you can see it has like hashtag satire
comedy hashtag satire in.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Her in her post.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
But you know, does it does seem like many some
people are taking it seriously.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Somebody who are like, hey, a need pet sitting for
the rapture? Just let me know a lot of people
making jokes. I wouldn't joke about it, guys, I wouldn't
jump and.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Man think it's funny.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
And then you're left over here with people who like
to party.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Not so funny now, huh. That scene is.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Fucking wild though, that first episode of The Leftovers, right,
people just go puff the magic dragon like in their
cars and.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Shit, and like what the fuck?
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yeah yeah yeah, it's just like shopping carts are like
rolling that fully.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
During the Feast of Trumpets is what this guy said
is when he would return. So if you've got a trumpet,
you are duty bound to go outside and play it
and maybe freak out.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
One of your neighbors. That sounds good to me.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Yeah, we don't know, you know, I mean the day before,
but we will know. Well, no, I wish, I wish
we could have gotten a little more description of like
what Jesus looked like on a throne and all that
good stuff, you know, ripped. Is it shredded Jesus?
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Yeah? Is it? Is it shredded or graded Jesus? All right,
let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
We'll talk about some political news, and we'll be back.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
And we're back.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
We're back. We're back, babe. All right, Let's let's check
in with dear Leader Donald Trump in a edition deal Leader,
deal Leader, make the deals, deal Leader. In addition to
declaring war on his enemies at the Charlie Kirk Memorial,
he also was on truth Social sending what would seem
(38:35):
to be a private message, secret collusion and doing illegal
stuff to BONDI Yeah, so he went on.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
He posted on truth Social Pam.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
I have reviewed over thirty statements and posts saying that
essentially same old story his last time. I I it's
kind of hard to He's basically saying, like, you need
to go after my enemies, h Adam, shifty Shift, Titia,
They're all guilty. As hell, but nothing is going to
be done.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
He's really the tone of this is interesting because you
can He's like, we look dumb, like we are losing
ours he said quote it's killing our reputation and credibility
that we're not jailing our enemies. Yes, And he's now
just like saying get it done, yes, which is really something.
It's interesting though, I'm like, is this it's weird if
(39:27):
he writes a.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Text message like this where it says.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Pam Colon and then signed President dj T right now?
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Is that like a weather balloon?
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Like that's the one version is like this is he
just floated that out because I think.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
He deleted it after. Oh he did, Yeah, he deleted
it after. So I'm like, huh wow is it or
is it?
Speaker 1 (39:48):
I mean, also, it just seems like some old ass
way to text like Pam, this is the thing, signed
me Grandpa.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Send it to the wrong app. Does seem like kind
of a big deal.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Yeah, yes, you weaponized this department enemies such as Komy
shift Letitia James.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
My first reaction though, was and this goes to like
what M. Guessing talks about, where you know, in this
sort of authoritarian takeover you kind of lose track of
like what is normal. Yeah, my first take of my
first response was like, why is everyone surprised by this?
Didn't he not already do this one? Yeah? Oh right,
(40:24):
Yeah this is watergate. We say, he averages like a
water gate a week, but like this is actually just
doing the like weaponizing the power of the president to
go after his political rivals. It's like the thing that
got has gotten presidents like specifically impeached.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
The fact that he deleted it does make him look
like that's surprising to me. That does make him look
like low key dog, makes him look a little guilty.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
I'm about to quit dog Loki, I'm a hook you up, fat.
I mean, yeah, that's the one that is the only
thing because like a deleted post is does feel like
a bit of an admission of oops on his part.
But yeah, but it also, like I think, speaks to
how he like, what he what motivates him as a person,
(41:10):
because he says, I've reviewed over thirty statements and posts,
which is like what your human printer assistant lady just
printed out some tweets for you to read like paper form,
and you go.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
This one says Trump's not doing it signed. This is
from at Patriot two two sixty nine. This like what
do you what exactly are you reading? What are these posts?
Is like part of what he's taking in as like
official you know, material for him to make policy decisions.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
It's people just doom.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Scrolling and people are like he ain't fashion enough, and
he's like, I.
Speaker 3 (41:46):
Look like a fool.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Which is that is the like motivating you know, There's
the sucking void at the center of him that like
needs attention, needs everybody to love him, needs everybody to
be paying attention to him at all times. And then
there is like the horrible exploding sense of paranoia and
humiliation that like everybody's laughing at him. Yeah, those are
(42:09):
like the stop and ghost Those are the ones and
zeros in.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
The you know binary code. You know, listen to your brain.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
Maybe you aren't that bad, you know what I mean?
You know, yeah, you want to be that bad. I
think it's so hard coded, Like it's hard coded enough
that he was throwing rocks at babies when he was
like five years old. But this is just funny too,
because I'm like, did he write it?
Speaker 3 (42:35):
Did he not?
Speaker 1 (42:35):
But it sounds like people aren't surprised that this could
have been a real text. Yeah, people think like members
of the administration were like, that sounds actually like he
was meant to text that, because this is like how
he texts, like the talks like that. It's a lot
like what what the president writes online. So it's just
like impossible to know the difference.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
But yeah, what whether he meant to or not, the
this is like wildly illegal. We have absolutely no ability
to do anything about it. Yeah, yeah, but it is interesting.
Brand the editor asked the question, like, are how far
are we from when prosecute turns into execute? I do
feel like even Putin at this point will poison people quietly,
(43:23):
he doesn't like officially, you know, he puts them in
jail and then they like fall to their bill or
like a business person fell out of a window again.
But I do wonder how much that changes now that
America has gone full authoritarianism, you know, to like there's
not that the eyes of the Western world are not
on you judging, and so maybe it does just become
(43:47):
full executions in the street type thing. I mean, I
don't know. I think we'll see how that UFC fight
at the White House goes Yeah, you know, that'll be
the beginnings of seeing how much people just want to
see wacky shit happen. Capital there was a did you
see the rendering of like what the fucking ring could
look like?
Speaker 1 (44:05):
No?
Speaker 3 (44:06):
Is it all? Oh boy?
Speaker 1 (44:07):
It looks like an absolute fucking nightmare, Like it looks
like you know that weird mid century building that looks
like a spider by Lax.
Speaker 3 (44:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, it kind of has that.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
That's the Octagon, Yeah, the Octagon over the Octagon Lax Spider.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
And then you can and then you can also watch
from the Lincoln Memorial. They'll have another potential fucking video
village or you know, big screen or I guess that's
where the weigh in will happen.
Speaker 3 (44:35):
It's all a fucking joke. Anyway, go out big.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
You know, two hundred and fifty years might as well
go out big.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
Yeah, that that would be Another option is that it's
just a you have, it's an undercard with like the
most dangerous UFC fighter in existence and Adam Scheff, right,
he's just you know.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
That would oh my god.
Speaker 1 (44:59):
Yeah, and he just created some version of the fucking
the Mountain that he he fucking brings out of a
cave or some shit.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
Yeah, all right, cool, let's talk Tom Holman, the border head.
I think he would like to be referred to as
the border Reichsfuurer.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
Yes, yes, sorry, that was Himmler's title, so I think
he'd probably want a similar one. But yeah, dude, that
spittle crusted racist that regularly screams lies on Fox News
basically looks like he ducked a fucking huge scandal. So
last year, the FBI was doing a separate investigation. They
weren't even looking at Tom Holman, just as separate like investigation.
(45:37):
And one of the people that got caught up and said,
you know Tom Homan, the guy that used to be
the ICE director in Trump's first administration. He's going around
soliciting bribes in exchange for lucrative ice contracts on the
assumption that Donald Trump wins and Homan would have a
similar post like at ICE or DHS. So the Feds
(45:58):
did what they do and set him up to see
if he would take a bag of cash fifty thousand dollars,
and of course he fucking took it, even because this
fake businessman set him up and said, hey, let's do
that apparently there's recordings and hidden video that well I
probably won't see. But this is where it gets sad. So,
since this was the Biden FBI, they were sure if
(46:19):
they should be going after home and with an election
on the horizon.
Speaker 3 (46:22):
No, so that would be a conflict of interest.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
Wole, God, we don't want to look like we're being
political for a guy who's openly breaking whatever. So they
decided to wait.
Speaker 3 (46:32):
And see if he would actually follow through.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
Cut to the change of guard the FBI, The career
Biden people handed off to the new Trump FBI, and.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
They basically killed the investigation there.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
It is so right now there's only I think two
lawyers working in the DJ's Public Corruption office as of
this moment.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
So you know, open.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
Corruption is essentially the de facto way of doing business
if you're a registered Republican right, if not, you.
Speaker 3 (46:58):
Will be treated like common criminal. Yeah, it's just wild.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
But yeah, but any other again, any other fucking time,
this would be immediate resignation material.
Speaker 3 (47:09):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
Even like in the National Review, which is a very
you know, very conservative outlet, they're like, this does not
look good, seems bad.
Speaker 2 (47:18):
It's like basically every journalistic outlet's undercurrent to the subtext.
Speaker 3 (47:24):
Yeah, real quick.
Speaker 2 (47:25):
Sinclair Broadcasting, you know, when they canceled Kimmel, they said
that they will be broadcasting a special and rememberance of
Charlie Kirk and Lieu of his show for ABC affiliates
on Friday. That special ended up being celebrity family feud
is what I showed.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
So, I mean, the backlash has been pretty significant. A
lot of people have been, like, you know, canceling their
Disney Plus memberships. They've been protesting outside of like Disney
or the old Kimmel theater. Yeah, it's not a great
not a great look to just be the corporation that preemptive,
(48:03):
well not even preemptively I mean like the government pressured them,
but like not even putting up a fight against something
so blatantly illegal. A lot of people are like you,
you're basically selling everyone out with being a company with
the resources to fight back. Just don't you're creating You're
really making it really frictionless.
Speaker 3 (48:21):
What if they get mad at us? Give we can't
maximize our fucking sure.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
What do you what are you gonna do with you make?
If you knee shrehold value, you're gonna have to bend
another knee and then when you go I've bet both knees,
they'll be like, well, then break your legs again to
make new knees. To mood, we're gonna we're gonna get
so good at knee bends. We're gonna our quads are
gonna be fucking And then what do you.
Speaker 3 (48:44):
Do with the quads?
Speaker 1 (48:44):
Okay, fine, let's be okay, fine, you get you get
jacked from the fucking knee bends and your quads are popping.
Speaker 3 (48:49):
Then what.
Speaker 2 (48:53):
We're like the official media thing of l elf your
United States of America two and fifty. Yeah, but they
will we get to carry the UFC fights on Disney.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
The President will compliment Disney's thighs like that are like Christmas.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
Hams, like Christmas hanms. You see their quads, they're like
Christmas hams.
Speaker 3 (49:11):
All right.
Speaker 2 (49:13):
In less serious news, they opened a central perk in
New York City.
Speaker 3 (49:19):
It was announce Friends. Yeah, the Friends coffee shop.
Speaker 2 (49:22):
I guess there was already one in Boston, decidedly not
where Friends took place, and they opened one in New
York City and it looks like shit. The one from
the show was you know, comfortable and inviting and like
had big puffy couches that would just swallow you up.
(49:45):
And this one looks like it could be the break
room in the office from Severance, like Jesus, yeah, because
it's the what do you know? What do you know
what part of the city it's in, because the exterior
was Greenwich Village right for like their apartment building.
Speaker 1 (50:00):
Because every time I'm like like wandering through like Manhattan
or something and I'm in Greenwich Village most like why
are people outside of this building? And I'm like, oh,
this is the outside of the Friends apartment But oh
in Times Square of course, the most New York place,
of course, center.
Speaker 3 (50:16):
Of New York, the best place in New York. Yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. It looks so sterile, man, Yeah, it really
looks sterile. It looks I've not.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
Watched enough Friends really ever, but like to know if
it's really giving central perk, but I guess maybe like the.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
Bar is just like no area, but yeah, they no couches,
not nothing comfy.
Speaker 3 (50:40):
The lighting looks yeah, like you.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
Have to have like isn't it like a purple couch
or something.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
I feel like they're like things in my mind that
I'm like there's a just like couch in there.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
Reset do do the thing like have the thing from
the from the show. Just have a little section. There's
just like two couches, like just have that there.
Speaker 3 (50:58):
You know, Yeah, this is this is this is an abomination, abomination.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
I feel bad for friends fans, like if you're really like,
if you really fuck with the show that much, just
to go to like some it doesn't even like even
if you squint your eyes, like it doesn't even kind
of look like.
Speaker 3 (51:13):
Hard for me.
Speaker 2 (51:15):
Hey man, but good luck, man, good luck. I'm sure
the coffee is fucking great. One person on Twitter, Joe
at Hackerman. Joe tweeted, they gentrified a fake location. Just
fucking vile, vile. Right, all right, those are some of
the things that are trending on this Monday, September twenty second.
(51:36):
We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of
the show. For those of you who do not get raptured,
you know, or you know it'll be there in the morning,
you can we never know what is going to happen. Yeah,
I mean, I feel like it's going to be an
afternoon thing. Actually, Like people just like wake up in
the morning and everything like that.
Speaker 3 (51:57):
Would actually be the safest way to do it.
Speaker 1 (51:59):
If you think about it, something weird did happen, like
not like a rapture, but something odd happened like that
was mysterious that had the world's attention, And then you
get all these people being like, guys, I dol't.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
You what It's like the situation happened the day of
the rapture. Yeah, I don't know, Like I I feel
like in the Leftovers when they rapture people like planes
start falling out of the sky because they rapture pilots.
Speaker 3 (52:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:32):
Yeah, it's like, was this rapture handled by doge?
Speaker 3 (52:35):
Like who? What?
Speaker 2 (52:37):
Would you just like schedule it for a time when
things like there weren't that many planes, but they like
do it right in the middle of that afternoon.
Speaker 1 (52:45):
Yeah, yeah, come on, I don't know, guys, just stay
safe or hey, look, you know one thing, if you're
an atheist, nothing's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (52:53):
Yeah, I mean, you might lose a couple friends or
people at work.
Speaker 3 (52:57):
And maybe you'll maybe you'll reconsider.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
Yeah, maybe maybe we'll all learn an important lesson today.
Speaker 3 (53:03):
Who knows.
Speaker 2 (53:05):
All right, until then, be kind to each other, be
kind to yourselves, get your vaccine while you still can't
get your flu shots.
Speaker 3 (53:11):
But you still can't. Don't do nothing about white and Poesy,
and we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye bye.

Is this like a universal truth? Like men don't know
the age of their friends' kids. Mmm, like so many times,
even my closest friends.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Let's see, how old do you think my kids are?
I mean I refer to them by their age on
the show, so you probably know that one.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah, well, I would say the geist child is.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I can tell because your youngest child was born. I
know when he was born because we.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Just started the show, right, right, so he's always the show.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
He's seven years old, yes, because that was twenty eighteen.
I remember that was the first spring, winter or beginning
of the year.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
I remember from that year. And I know your other kid.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Is just is nine, that's right.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah, And I can tell you for sure that the
geist child cannot yet smoke. That's about as specific as
I can go. Really really er your bedout right, I'm
gonna go for I'm pretty good.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I feel like I'm at eighteen.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Jack, we haven't even known each other eighteen, That's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I mean, yeah, I got a bad sense of time.
It is wild.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Like one of my you know, my best friend growing up,
like sent me his kid's drivers permit, and I had
like fucking yeah, yeah, Jack, I know.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
That's like a funny thing too, Like I have to
really rack my brain because I can remember the year
like and I go from there. It's not like I
always have a running thing. It's like, Okay, they just
turned this age. They just turned this age. I'm like
they were born this year because I remember thing that
was happening that year.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I had a friend because I like to the area
I moved. One of my friends mentioned like a mutual
friend who I haven't seen in years, like lives like
in the area.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
And I was like, he's like, oh, he's got a
kid too, And.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I'm like, oh, how old He's like, dude, I want
to say, like four, the kid is turning two. He
jumped that head two years like an infielder right now.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
It is because in one and five. But that's like
the difference. So yeah, yeah, the difference to a parent
between two and four is so vast. Sure, sure, oceans
of time.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
But to an outsider, it's like, I don't know, like
when when did Moana to come out? Did it come
out two years ago or four years ago? I don't
fucking know, you know, like came out. I'd be like,
you know, like my ability to know, the difference between
how many years ago something happened is pretty uh shoddy
in general.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So yeah, if I have not.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Been interacting with that kid, I am going to when
I see them for the first time, say and who
the fuck is this?
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yes, I think I'm around people who were just way
on top of their ship.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Like all my homegirls know all the ages. Yeah, yeah, no,
so much better. They probably all talk to each other
more about women.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
No, but I just like, yeah, I just communicate that,
like's not just it's not just Tim Allen grunts.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, I'm like, how many how many Tim Allen grunts
is this kid?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
I feel like.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
My life when I hang out with my friends is like,
so they what are they? What's going on with them?
Career wise?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Like what are you?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
And I'm like, you know, I've never known what he
does for a living at all, Like what are you?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
Like one of my.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
College friends, Like he's you know, he has a law degree,
and like he's kinda he does different stuff. But like
when you hang out, we don't talk about that, you know,
we just yeah, various things, and anybody in like we
just we just don't talk man at the wall, we yeah,
and anybody in the world of finance. I'm just like,
(03:52):
I've got one friend who's actually interesting to hear talk
about that ship, and like, so I will, like I
ask him what's going on with his work, But most
other people like I don't talk to them about it,
and if I ask them about it, they don't want
to talk about that shitt here.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yeah, my friend from middle school, I have no idea
what he does for a job.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
We've been friends for decades. And then my other friend,
no idea at all. Like, you couldn't even make this point.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
No, I don't know what he used to be a carpenter.
I don't know what he does for work.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Now, man, I know a carpenter who hold on. That's
a pretty good story line.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
You're in good company.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
It sounds like, yeah, my man, JC, he's got something
to say.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Hello the Internet and welcome to this episode of week
Trendy Guys. Yeah, do you know the me saying dirnally
zay guys for seven years in a row is what
fried my vocal cords?
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I thought I was snorting all that powdered milk. That
powdered milk. Jac I'm that over there is mister Miles Gray.
We were, of course, referencing the urban legend, possibly true
story loose theory. The al pacino's voice when he went
from talking like Michael Corleone in a normal voice to
talking like.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Sam with the.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Was all of the powdered milk that he had to
snort in scarface.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
That's like wild up his whole ship.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I wonder like what the whole process was for like that,
like the prop master when it's like, all right, we
got to figure out some.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Ship for him to snort.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Besides, and if we can't keep doing cocaine because it's
messing up the production.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
So I guess powdered milk do we look into that?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Okay, it's not just gonna whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
It was just the most you drink milk, you're you're like,
you've got thick.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Spit going for the whole day.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
He's just like just stuck in your yeah, imagine milk throat,
but in your sinus.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, just plowing through caterpillar lines of fucking powdered milk.
Feel bad for all those people in the eighties having
to do fake coke. I know, Uh'll remember, all right,
my name is Jack got over there is Miles Gray.
This is the episode where we tell you what's trending
on this Monday morning, what was trending over the weekend. First,
(06:24):
we get to know you a little bit better by
telling you some things that we pick are overrated underrated.
We ask our guests every day what they think is
overrated underrated? Uh, this is this is our chance to
get some stuff off our chest.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
You know what I'm saying. Let's start. Should we start overrated?
Get what's cheesing you off? Man? What's me? Thing's overrated?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Me?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Man? Who? Me? Fucking millionaires?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Man? Just getting away with it all the time. Specifically
this Steve Balmer, Kawhi Leonard this one to man to
it's Pablo Tore every fucking week now is like truly.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
They're calling him the boogeyman.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
It feels like the Kendrick Drake like beef, but except
it's just like upsetting legal documents about how pretty allegedly
but pretty clearly does.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Feel like that like that way.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I had that same thought as he was dropping like
his fifth episode where he's like and here's more documentation. Yeah,
because so he found out that Steve Baumber like basically
did this thing where he funneled a huge investment into
this company that was ended up being a scam. Nobody
allegedly knew it was the Scape at the time, and
then that money was then paid to Kawhi Leonard by
(07:44):
that same company YEA for doing nothing in order to
get around the salary cap because they had signed Kawhi
Leonard to a salary that was He's like, Kawhi Leonard
is one of the best players in the NBA, but
you have the salary cap that like makes it so
no team can just come through like the Yankees and
just fucking score.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Everyone all all the money.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
And so the way he got around that was kind
of this like sloppy thing where I mean, I guess
it's not sloppy in the sense that we wouldn't have
found out about it if this company hadn't been.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Ye bankrupt and then sued and everything becomes public. Yeah,
and then everything becomes public.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
But he's been going through the documents and just finding
incriminating piece of evidence after incriminating piece of evidence. His
fellow billionaire Mark Cuban has been defending him, being like,
no one would do this.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
This is just he's you're wrong. He was scammed.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
He didn't know, and then that he just happened to
invest money in Kawhi Leonard.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Yeah, it feels like Pablo Torre is actually in the
beef with Mark Cuban because Mr Cuban says a thing
and then Pablo Torre is like, I actually have documentation that,
Like as Mark he was like, right, I don't know.
It's like if it happened, then he would have to
do it this way and maybe like he would probably
prop up the company and probablytories like, oh, interesting, there's.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Some more that she did exactly.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
That's like he knows the whole case, and that's why
it's really interesting to him just to drip it out
because it makes everyone.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Look more fucking bad.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
And also the people that defend Steve Balmer look even
worse because they're like, well, it probably was done this
or maybe it wasn't. Evidence comes out that refutes it,
and it just again like sports is used like the
one thing that people kind of feel is like free
from like all the fucking chaos of the world. But
in the era of big money, like that's completely gone,
(09:37):
and you know, the insanely wealthy owner trope has been
around forever, but like salary caps kept things somewhat under control,
especially like in the NBA. Like for us, we've been
talking about it for the last few years. The amount
like the parody that exists in the NBA is unlike
anything I've ever seen.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
It's super fun.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It makes Yeah, it makes it crazy that like the
Oklahoma City Thunder, who were like a joke team three
years ago, just won the championship.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Yeah, right exactly.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
And then like when you have people like Balmer just
coming in and sloppily skirting the rules like a common CEO,
it's just like it just it's it's really fucking infuriating,
and it has nothing to do with like the team
or whatever, like I I my fucking allegiance to the
Lakers aside, Like just looking at this, it just shows
I think that's what it is. I just hate the
(10:25):
fact that that entire way of doing business, which like
well I'm a billionaire and I have my own rules,
is just done so blatantly in the in people's faces.
And now you have a league with the NBA where
Adam Silver is like not not being as unequivocal as
I'd like him to be when he's talking about like
put like laying the hammer down on people who circumvent
the cap rules.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
It's like, are you really going to do it?
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Because Pablo Torre is really making it difficult now for
the NBA to like not do you know, come down
seriously on the Clippers.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Yeah, I mean it's cool because he's a you know,
he's a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, he's a podcaster. His
podcast is you know, once he gets on his previous
thing that he got into is just the Bill Belichick
and his twenty two year old girlfriend thing. That was
a fun thread, and like when he gets on a
thread like this, it's definitely worth listening because, like, especially
with this one, it's a white collar malfeasance at a
(11:18):
time when literally nobody else is paying attention to that,
you know, like the authorities are asleep at the wheel,
and so he's able to like just go in and
get the low hanging fruit. But for people who don't know,
Steve Bomber is the richest owner in any sport. He's
one of the richest people in the world. He co
founded Microsoft with Bill Gates, and they had an episode
(11:40):
recently just about the parallels between what Microsoft got caught
doing and then in the nineties. This is a big yeah,
and Steve Bomber was the like head of the company
at the time that they were caught doing anti competitive
stuff blatantly by the US government and like to you know,
(12:02):
it's like the one anti monopoly thing that has happened
that like really the government pushed back on. That's how
blatant they were being. Best detail I learned over the
past week is because I think it's easy to lose
sight of like how much money was at stake here.
So COWI letterd to do nothing again, to do nothing,
Kwi Letter got twenty million dollars I think from this
(12:23):
company to do nothing twenty eight I think, yeah, okay,
twenty eight. He's getting paid more by this company to
do nothing then he's getting paid by New Balance for
being there. They're the face of New Balance, Yeah, face
of their basketball thing, like, which was a huge Like
(12:43):
the fact that they New Balance got Kawhi Leonard was
wild that we were like whoa, Like that's a huge
get for them. That's like an amazing amount of value.
The idea that this company would just pay him for
doing nothing, just yeah, it seems very unrealistic.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
Anyways, It's it's just it's just wild to think.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
It's like he's the face of a brand for X
amount of money, but then he can get more money
to literally just do nothing. Because again it's it wasn't it.
It's not that he was ever doing anything with this company.
They were just funneling money to him.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
But yeah, this is not abnormal for Steve Balmer, obviously
as the head of Microsoft who previously got caught doing
anti competitive things, but also just like billionaires, as we
keep talking about on this show, like it is what
they do. They rewrite the history. It's very important to
America's ethos and the American zeitgeist to believe that these
are remarkable people who are doing things with like creative
(13:41):
normal brain power.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yeah, they're amazing brain power. And then you know, so they.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Rewrite these biographies where they like started everything from a
garage and all this bullshit, and then you actually look
at the reporting and it's just they find loopholes and
exploit loopholes, is what they do. And they our predatory
and will do whatever it takes to make a bunch
of money orleen.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Or whatever whatever their fucking worldview is. But yeah, it's
just but Pablo Tory, god bless. Yeah, shout out to
him to keep turning the heat up on the league,
because that would be the next scandal, is if the
NBA just kind of.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
THEBA just looks the other way.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Yeah, because again, like you said, Bomber's so fucking wealthy.
It's like you could buy the league if you want to,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Like it's just like he's his that's just looming over everything.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
My overrated is my ability to sneeze with mouthwash in
my mouth.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
It's an overrated ability. It is overrated by me, probably
what I'm about to tell you.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
So, Okay, I put mouthwash in my mouth. Immediately sneeze
coming on. Uh had the mouthful of mouthwash, and I
just thought I'd be able to hold it in like
like focus the sneeze through my nose and not lose
your mouth wash. You didn't want to, like I didn't
(15:06):
want to waste the mouth wash. It like this, this
is good mouthwash that I just put in my mouth.
I was like barely started rinting, and so I tried
it and it was like a bottle of mouthwash had
detonated in my bathroom. Like I don't know how it
was just everything in sight was covered with like a
(15:29):
fine mist of plaques shot out plaques by the way,
great mouthwash.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Thank you. There was literally I know there was like
an outline of my toothbrush cup on the mirror. That's how.
That's how.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
And I hate to make a Hiroshima atomic bomb reference,
but the shadow was burned.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Yes, that's how. That's how successful I was. How do
you feel now? Uh?
Speaker 2 (15:55):
You know, I feel like I just I learned an
important less so that I keep learning over and over
again as I get older. That like, I don't know,
I've talked before about how like you know that scene
in the Other Guys where the two hero cops are like,
we're gonna make it like jump to to a thing
across the and then they don't make it. Like Yeah,
(16:17):
I always have that thought where I'm like, I could
I could jump from this building to that time, I
could throw this football clear over the mountains. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
And yeah, I just feel like I can go mind
over body. But the physics of the situation make themselves real,
and then you gotta have real and realer as I
get older. Yeah, gotta think positively, that's right. Anyways, that's
(16:40):
my override. What's something Miles that you think is underrated?
The comic kazi retail worker.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Okay, there's nothing like the kind of hookup you get
at a store than from a person working retail who
does not give a fuck, someone who has one foot
out the or someone who just got back from a
job interview for a better job and is now just
running the clock out. I had the great honor of
(17:11):
intersecting with one of these people, these hero retail workers,
over the weekend, because her majesty took me out to
get a birthday gift on over the weekend. So and
I wanted some new cups. She's like, what do you
want for you? I was like, you know, we lost
everything fire, I would like some cups. I've been drinking
with my hands for the PF like this just together,
(17:34):
just slurping out of the sink or out of our
drinking bucket.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
But we don't even have a dipper.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
But like I wanted to get like these like really cool,
like just like these coffee cups. Okay that were just
like kind of like the I liked like the ceramics
of it.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
So there's a store we went into.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
We get to the store, It's like fucking two right,
and the store is closed, and I'm like, what the
fuck is going on?
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Like, I know the store is open.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
We go next door and I'm like, are they do
the people like leave for lunch. You're like, yeah, they
should be back in like twenty minutes. We come back
like forty minutes later, still nobody there. Yeah, And then
I'm like, what the fuck's going on? Then some guy
pulls up behind He's like, oh, what's up, guys. This

converon and I'm like, okay, Like this.
Speaker 2 (18:29):

Speaker 1 (18:49):
So I go all right, and then like the guy
was clearly very like loose. So I'm just talking to him, yeah, and.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I'm like, what's going on, man?
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Like, how do you like work here?

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Anyway, what do you want?
Speaker 1 (19:18):
And I was like, oh, let me get like a
couple of these mugs and a couple like two of
those mugs, and he's like, for sure, dog, He's like,
I'm gonna hook you up fat, and I go. When
he said hook you up fat, I'm like, first of all,
this guy smokes weed, because that's like a weed dealer
talk you have, fat dog, I'll hook you a faty
dog right now.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I'm pretty sure he was also trying to communicate to
you that he deals with maybe yeah, maybe. I mean
like there was an understanding when it came in all
fucking weird, and I was like, bro, no fucking problem, dog,
I don't even give a shit.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Like you, do you?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
This fucking guy gave me fifty percent off and didn't
even charge me for like other shit.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Like when I looked at the thing, he's like, bro,
I'm just gonna like whatever, dude. He's like, I usually
I can give like twenty. I'll just give you fIF
like dude, and he goes, I'll give you fifty. I
don't even give a fuck. Hell yeah, And I was like, yes, dog,
thank you amazing. And I just think of like when
I used to do that when I worked at like
the art like laser tag place. I used to give
(20:15):
kids like tokens for the arcade machine and like I
was trying to hook them, Like I was like, I
just don't give a fuck, And that was like my
way to be like rebel.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I'm like, y'all paying me, min.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
My, wait, watch this, here's your fucking tokens?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Do that have one with that?
Speaker 1 (20:27):
So again, I just love somebody who is just willing
to give that discount, you know.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
What I mean.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
Amazing And I get to when you don't fear death anymore,
like in terms of getting fired getting fired, you are
actually the most one of the most powerful beings in retail.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
This place sucks. Shit, do low key, bro, I'm fucking
I'm off this shit. And I'm like, where are you
off to next? He's like, dude, there's this custom furniture place.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Dog.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
He's like, the couches are so expensive, but if I
saw like three in a fucking month, I'll make way
more than I do fucking here.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
And I'm like sick.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
He's like, also, I might help start a restaurant. Then
he like lists about like eight different plans and I'm like, yeah, oh,
to be twenty four, I know, you know what I mean.
I was like, all right, doggie, you do you thank
you for my mugs?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
I'm out.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
You're like, you should definitely start that restaurant. Man, look
this right there. Oh, very beautiful mug. Yeah, very beautiful.
What's yours? My underrated is just how weird it is
that Taylor Swift is marrying Travis Kelce there. I know
people are probably aware of the story by now, but
there was a moment in the game. This weekend Travis
(21:35):
Kelsey played against the Giants of New York and headbutt
Andy Reid or she like almost got into a fistfight
with Andy Reid, his coach, on the sideline, and everyone.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Was like, oh, trouble in Paradise.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
But anybody who like follows the chief was like, no,
they do that every week.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Like he's just he's you just gotta like.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Read it, get into it all the time. They just like,
I think he knows that it like psychs him up
or something like gets in his face and like you
just gotta let him like froth himself up into a
big dumb rage, which is, you know, great coaching.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
I feel like because he doesn't, like.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I remember seeing it for the first time, being like, yo,
they can't like literally like start hitting each other. And
then it's just like every week with those two. But
it just gave me a moment of pause to like
take a step back and be like Taylor Swift is
known for being like literary, and she's essentially marrying Gronk is.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Slightly more put together, articulate Gronk.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, like Gronk probably, yeah, but like I don't know,
it's just like what if fucking Beyonce had very Gronk
instead of jay Z.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
So weird it's just it is very weird. It is
an odd coupling. It is an odd coupling.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
It makes sense like if you're doing like the story
book versions, like and the most famous pop star married
the football man and they.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Lived happily ever after.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
But yeah, very much like there's that song American Teenager
I think by Ethel Kane that's like a like satire
of those types of like Americana, like Taylor Swift songs,
and it feels like a something out of that song,
Like it's just so on the nose and like it
does feel yeah like that that's something that Taylor Swift.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
Is acutely aware of.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
The like, you know, doing the thing that you would
expect the most popular girl in high school to do
and marrying the like hottest fall star guy makes sense
with her whole like miss Americana thing. It's just viewed
at a different angle. It's like this is very strange.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
I wonder if, like Andy Reid on their wedding days, like, hey, Taylor,
a little bit of advice get in his face.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
He's a fucking idiot. Yeah, and he'll get shit done.
He gets you done, all right. Those are some things
we think are over it underrated. I'm sure a thousand
people have made that observation, but it did this week
watching him can lose his absolute mind.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Let's take a quick break and we'll be back to
talk about some of the news. And we're back, and
Charlie Kirk's funeral was this weekend, massive turnout, big stadiums.
(24:40):
His wife said she forgave the killer.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, I was not interested in seeing the death penalty,
which is like that it didn't make that many headlines
like or it doesn't feel like it's going to be
the lasting takeaway from the movement in the same way
as the funeral. Yeah, I forgive him. Turn the other
it is real uh cuck stuff that Trump.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
Then just came out and was like, Yo, turn that
out of the cheeks, so smack that cheek too.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
He basically was like fuck that. He was either like
an I'm sorry, Erica, I hate my enemies, I hate him, yeah,
and I don't wish them well but not biteen either,
and just everyone's like whoa. It was interesting because the
crowd wasn't like, it wasn't like raucous cheering, like oh,
like they were.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Is a memorial that is caused by political division, like
and yeah, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
So that was like the one thing I was like, Okay,
well he stay didn't It didn't erupt in cheers when
he said that.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
It was more.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
But either way, every pretty much every person that spoke
was doing whatever they could to fan the flames. Like
Steven Miller started evoking the storm like on some QAnon
shit and he's like they were woken an army and
they've got nothing, and you're like, WHOA, Okay, you know
a lot of people I think again they're trying to
make this the pro erbial fork in the road where
(26:01):
the right embraces evil and violence because it's now been become.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Justified even more so than they were already right. Just
to reiterate that, I mean, there was actually like an
NBC News report where they talked to people familiar with
the investigation. Like we said last week, there were all
sorts of you know, right wing news outlets that were
saying that this was part of a premeditated attack from
(26:26):
you know, multiple people had been posting in this quote
unquote like Transforum saying like September tenth is going to
be a day like watch out, Charlie Kirk and shit
like that. Those posts were all made up, They were
all fabricated. There is no evidence of a connection to
(26:50):
any left wing group. It appears to be somebody who
was acting alone. Is everything we know about the investigation.
It was one and like most things like this too, Yeah,
like that how it happened. But yeah, if you just
watch these speeches, you would assume that, like this was
(27:10):
some terrorist act that was officially claimed by Antifa or
something like that.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Yeah, yeah, exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Tucker Carlson, I do want to just give a you know,
he there there was a moment towards the end of
last week where people were like Tucker Carlson's even calling
out Trump's anti free speech rhetoric.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
He gave a speech at the memorial that was like
so unhinged, whereas like he was talking about how, you know,
little guy I know who's a carpenter by the name
of j C. Yeah, had some things to say that
some people didn't like and they decided to kill him.
(27:51):
And you know, it was just a lot of anti
Semitic dog whistles.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Name is dog screaming, dog barking, you know what I mean,
Like evoking the crucifixion as a way, Yeah, as a
way to keep the Israel did It conspiracy theory alive
is fucking nasty shit. But again, I expect nothing less
from a group of people who are so opportunistic in
weaponizing a tragedy for their own dark ass aims that
(28:20):
something like this would happen, Like, you know, it is
what it is, and now.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
We'll see what happens now.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
I mean, like, you know, there was talk over the
weekend about trying to designate Antifa or trans people as
like a violent extremist group.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
It's there.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
They're doing everything they can to use this moment to
just create as as many illegal categories of people as possible.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah, it does.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
It really does remind me of the aftermath of nine
to eleven, where it was like, oh, they're going to
blame this on it Iraq, Like you could tell right away.
It was just like how are they going to figure
out how to do that? The way they did that
at the time was like fabricated evident and you know,
search for weapons of mass destruction. I remains to be
(29:07):
seen if if they will do that, or if they
will even like go to the trouble of inventing evidence,
or if they'll just rhetorically continue to do it over
and over again.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Yeah, I mean because it's it's weird too, because like
even on the right, like there, there isn't even a
real consensus on who did it, Like it depends on
what flavor of right wing extremism you're into, right, Like
some people are going to be like it was AOC,
you know, like Antifa or other people, like it was
trans people.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Other there's a ton of people like it was Israel,
and you're not going to tell me otherwise.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Yeah, And so I mean again, like quite a fucking
quite an audience they've developed over there.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
The Tucker, like the part where he just bursts into
like weird, like inappropriate laughter at one point, is right,
is unnerving, very unnerving. All right, let's check in with
my goat, Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Oh, Tom Brady, Like you just go check in with
your goat?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
You walk outside? Hey, you doing okay?
Speaker 3 (30:09):
All right? But here's an apple? All right, He's good.
I wish all right? What else?
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah, more sports ball talk, But there's another going around
football talk. But I only know this because I saw
two things pop up on my feeds, which was like
Travis Kelcey and Andy Reid in each other's face.
Speaker 3 (30:25):
And then this clip of Tom Brady.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
So there's a game between the Cowboys and up Bears
where Tom Brady gave some interesting commentary. So George Pickens
bobbled Cowboys player bobbled ended up in a pick. Yeah,
ended up in a pick, and he was pissed at
himself after the plays. He just slamming his helmet and
anger on the sidelines.
Speaker 2 (30:44):
And then this is how this is how Tom Brady
sums up the football player angry at himself for missing
the pass and being violent with his helmet. This is
this is tom Brady's goat commentary.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Arms picks, not happy. Yeah, those helmets can be. It's
like the dog at home time out on the field.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Huh, wow, I'll tell you a dog killed the helmets
man or whatever.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Man.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I feel like whoever is doing his commentary with him
was trying to be like, let's.
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Move on with that. Wow yo.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
And also out of context, it just sounds like he's
responding that way to day Wow.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Oh you are a psycho.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Hey, the guys smashing that, you know, it's like the
dog at home? Oh what kick the dogs? Whatever it takes,
whatever it takes.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
To what you kick your dog?
Speaker 2 (31:49):
What I mean, I shouldn't be surprised that this is
another quarterback in the NFL who's a little who's kind
of not unfamiliar with what animal abuse is.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Yeah, right, that does seem to get to the top
you need.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yeah, like the dog at home is so dark, that's.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Very Bateman, is very Patrick Bateman, which is the energy
that he kind of gives off is just like holding
it together so fucking hard. Yeah yeah, but you know
that like that, it's got to come out somewhere.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah, just like the dog at home. You know, it's
got to come out somewhere. I saw the thing about
I didn't realize he he owns part of the Raiders
now because people will.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Be like the Raiders and is in the booth with
their coaches, and people were like, he can probably tell
them stuff because as a reporter you like learn things
from coaches.
Speaker 3 (32:41):
But I uh, I don't know. I doubt that that's
actually happening. But I think people just don't.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
There's something about this guy who talks casually about kicking dogs.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
People not want to what's he's saying with that headset on?
Who's he talking to you? Like the defensive coordinator. Guys
kicked the dog. Kick the dog. Guys kick the dog.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
What is this?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Christ saw him saying up there, keep saying to kick
the dog?
Speaker 3 (33:06):
Is that a play? All right?
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Back to the world of Christianity. Big week for Kirk
Cameron because it looks like the rapture is finally tomorrow.
Big big news about tomorrow. According to TikTok, tomorrow is
the day of the Christian Rapture began with a statement
from a South African pastor named Joshua male Keayla okay.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
But we'll go with that.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
I'm not sure that that's exactly how you pronounced it.
Claimed that Jesus would return during Rashashana and the rapture
will occur on September twenty third, twenty twenty five. His
source is that he saw Jesus sitting on his throne
and I could hear him very loud and clear, saying
I am coming soon. I like that he kept it vague,
(33:51):
like a teaser trailer.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
What was Jesus doing though, sitting on his throne, bro
Lam coming soon? Sitting there, you're doing Someboddy starting on
a throne man talking about how he's gonna come coming.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Soon, coming soon to a theater near you. This, I like,
is all of that. I've seen so much rapture talk.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
It's just because this guy confidently said that it's it's tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Well, I think it's I think it's become a very
popular well of course.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
I mean I all in on it, you know what
I mean. I love the what was that? The leftovers? Oh,
the leftovers. I think this is wishful thinking. I do
think that everybody is just waiting for something to end,
Like it just feels hard to imagine the future, and
(34:41):
so people are just you know, I think this is
similar to people on the left having commentary on Trump's health.
You know, just like some act of God that will
come and make it all stop.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Right right right? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:57):
In this case, you know the way it would make
it all stop in the in the sense that all
all of the Christians would just be out of.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Here and then we would be left behind. Mmmm.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
And as the leftovers illustrated, there would be like wild
fucking parties.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Do you think you'd be raptured or you think you'd
be you'd join like the cigarette smoker cult.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
I think I'd be joining the cigarette smoker oh, you'd
left left. Oh, I think i'd be Oh, you're you
seem pretty confident that you'd be raptured.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
You're I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
It seemed kind of fucked up where they were at, right,
Like that didn't was it? Were they being called to
heaven or the rapture takes everybody to Hell? No, rapture
take everybody to heaven? Man, Yeah, yeah, yeah, So this
is everybody disappears from.
Speaker 3 (35:44):
Earth and you go meet Jesus up in the sky.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
It's a meet and greet with Jesus, and then like
twenty years from now, we have climate change licked. Because
you have to think that most of those uh, most
of those oil executives are of a certain persuasion. Sure,
And I don't know, I feel like that I would,
I would be very happy for them. I'm very happy
(36:10):
for us. I think if this was this was about
to happen. But tiktak is just absolutely We now have
rapture Talk, which is just rapping for the rapture, offering
tips on how to endure the actual trip to heaven,
the benefits of leaving Bibles behind for us the unchosen,
uh huh. And you know some of these are seemingly
(36:30):
from actual Christians, but a whole lot of.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Them are clearly jokes.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
One woman made headlines for saying that she sold her
house and car prior to the rapture. But then like,
you know, you can see it has like hashtag satire
comedy hashtag satire in.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Her in her post.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
But you know, does it does seem like many some
people are taking it seriously.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
Somebody who are like, hey, a need pet sitting for
the rapture? Just let me know a lot of people
making jokes. I wouldn't joke about it, guys, I wouldn't
jump and.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Man think it's funny.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
And then you're left over here with people who like
to party.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Not so funny now, huh. That scene is.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
Fucking wild though, that first episode of The Leftovers, right,
people just go puff the magic dragon like in their
cars and.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Shit, and like what the fuck?
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yeah yeah yeah, it's just like shopping carts are like
rolling that fully.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
During the Feast of Trumpets is what this guy said
is when he would return. So if you've got a trumpet,
you are duty bound to go outside and play it
and maybe freak out.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
One of your neighbors. That sounds good to me.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Yeah, we don't know, you know, I mean the day before,
but we will know. Well, no, I wish, I wish
we could have gotten a little more description of like
what Jesus looked like on a throne and all that
good stuff, you know, ripped. Is it shredded Jesus?
Speaker 3 (37:48):
Yeah? Is it? Is it shredded or graded Jesus? All right,
let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
We'll talk about some political news, and we'll be back.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
And we're back.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
We're back. We're back, babe. All right, Let's let's check
in with dear Leader Donald Trump in a edition deal Leader,
deal Leader, make the deals, deal Leader. In addition to
declaring war on his enemies at the Charlie Kirk Memorial,
he also was on truth Social sending what would seem
(38:35):
to be a private message, secret collusion and doing illegal
stuff to BONDI Yeah, so he went on.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
He posted on truth Social Pam.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
I have reviewed over thirty statements and posts saying that
essentially same old story his last time. I I it's
kind of hard to He's basically saying, like, you need
to go after my enemies, h Adam, shifty Shift, Titia,
They're all guilty. As hell, but nothing is going to
be done.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
He's really the tone of this is interesting because you
can He's like, we look dumb, like we are losing
ours he said quote it's killing our reputation and credibility
that we're not jailing our enemies. Yes, And he's now
just like saying get it done, yes, which is really something.
It's interesting though, I'm like, is this it's weird if
(39:27):
he writes a.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Text message like this where it says.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Pam Colon and then signed President dj T right now?
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Is that like a weather balloon?
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Like that's the one version is like this is he
just floated that out because I think.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
He deleted it after. Oh he did, Yeah, he deleted
it after. So I'm like, huh wow is it or
is it?
Speaker 1 (39:48):
I mean, also, it just seems like some old ass
way to text like Pam, this is the thing, signed
me Grandpa.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
Send it to the wrong app. Does seem like kind
of a big deal.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Yeah, yes, you weaponized this department enemies such as Komy
shift Letitia James.
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
My first reaction though, was and this goes to like
what M. Guessing talks about, where you know, in this
sort of authoritarian takeover you kind of lose track of
like what is normal. Yeah, my first take of my
first response was like, why is everyone surprised by this?
Didn't he not already do this one? Yeah? Oh right,
(40:24):
Yeah this is watergate. We say, he averages like a
water gate a week, but like this is actually just
doing the like weaponizing the power of the president to
go after his political rivals. It's like the thing that
got has gotten presidents like specifically impeached.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
The fact that he deleted it does make him look
like that's surprising to me. That does make him look
like low key dog, makes him look a little guilty.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
I'm about to quit dog Loki, I'm a hook you up, fat.
I mean, yeah, that's the one that is the only
thing because like a deleted post is does feel like
a bit of an admission of oops on his part.
But yeah, but it also, like I think, speaks to
how he like, what he what motivates him as a person,
(41:10):
because he says, I've reviewed over thirty statements and posts,
which is like what your human printer assistant lady just
printed out some tweets for you to read like paper form,
and you go.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
This one says Trump's not doing it signed. This is
from at Patriot two two sixty nine. This like what
do you what exactly are you reading? What are these posts?
Is like part of what he's taking in as like
official you know, material for him to make policy decisions.
Speaker 3 (41:40):
It's people just doom.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Scrolling and people are like he ain't fashion enough, and
he's like, I.
Speaker 3 (41:46):
Look like a fool.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Which is that is the like motivating you know, There's
the sucking void at the center of him that like
needs attention, needs everybody to love him, needs everybody to
be paying attention to him at all times. And then
there is like the horrible exploding sense of paranoia and
humiliation that like everybody's laughing at him. Yeah, those are
(42:09):
like the stop and ghost Those are the ones and
zeros in.
Speaker 3 (42:13):
The you know binary code. You know, listen to your brain.
Speaker 2 (42:18):
Maybe you aren't that bad, you know what I mean?
You know, yeah, you want to be that bad. I
think it's so hard coded, Like it's hard coded enough
that he was throwing rocks at babies when he was
like five years old. But this is just funny too,
because I'm like, did he write it?
Speaker 3 (42:35):
Did he not?
Speaker 1 (42:35):
But it sounds like people aren't surprised that this could
have been a real text. Yeah, people think like members
of the administration were like, that sounds actually like he
was meant to text that, because this is like how
he texts, like the talks like that. It's a lot
like what what the president writes online. So it's just
like impossible to know the difference.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
But yeah, what whether he meant to or not, the
this is like wildly illegal. We have absolutely no ability
to do anything about it. Yeah, yeah, but it is interesting.
Brand the editor asked the question, like, are how far
are we from when prosecute turns into execute? I do
feel like even Putin at this point will poison people quietly,
(43:23):
he doesn't like officially, you know, he puts them in
jail and then they like fall to their bill or
like a business person fell out of a window again.
But I do wonder how much that changes now that
America has gone full authoritarianism, you know, to like there's
not that the eyes of the Western world are not
on you judging, and so maybe it does just become
(43:47):
full executions in the street type thing. I mean, I
don't know. I think we'll see how that UFC fight
at the White House goes Yeah, you know, that'll be
the beginnings of seeing how much people just want to
see wacky shit happen. Capital there was a did you
see the rendering of like what the fucking ring could
look like?
Speaker 1 (44:05):
No?
Speaker 3 (44:06):
Is it all? Oh boy?
Speaker 1 (44:07):
It looks like an absolute fucking nightmare, Like it looks
like you know that weird mid century building that looks
like a spider by Lax.
Speaker 3 (44:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, it kind of has that.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
That's the Octagon, Yeah, the Octagon over the Octagon Lax Spider.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
And then you can and then you can also watch
from the Lincoln Memorial. They'll have another potential fucking video
village or you know, big screen or I guess that's
where the weigh in will happen.
Speaker 3 (44:35):
It's all a fucking joke. Anyway, go out big.
Speaker 2 (44:38):
You know, two hundred and fifty years might as well
go out big.
Speaker 3 (44:41):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
Yeah, that that would be Another option is that it's
just a you have, it's an undercard with like the
most dangerous UFC fighter in existence and Adam Scheff, right,
he's just you know.
Speaker 3 (44:56):
That would oh my god.
Speaker 1 (44:59):
Yeah, and he just created some version of the fucking
the Mountain that he he fucking brings out of a
cave or some shit.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
Yeah, all right, cool, let's talk Tom Holman, the border head.
I think he would like to be referred to as
the border Reichsfuurer.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
Yes, yes, sorry, that was Himmler's title, so I think
he'd probably want a similar one. But yeah, dude, that
spittle crusted racist that regularly screams lies on Fox News
basically looks like he ducked a fucking huge scandal. So
last year, the FBI was doing a separate investigation. They
weren't even looking at Tom Holman, just as separate like investigation.
(45:37):
And one of the people that got caught up and said,
you know Tom Homan, the guy that used to be
the ICE director in Trump's first administration. He's going around
soliciting bribes in exchange for lucrative ice contracts on the
assumption that Donald Trump wins and Homan would have a
similar post like at ICE or DHS. So the Feds
(45:58):
did what they do and set him up to see
if he would take a bag of cash fifty thousand dollars,
and of course he fucking took it, even because this
fake businessman set him up and said, hey, let's do
that apparently there's recordings and hidden video that well I
probably won't see. But this is where it gets sad. So,
since this was the Biden FBI, they were sure if
(46:19):
they should be going after home and with an election
on the horizon.
Speaker 3 (46:22):
No, so that would be a conflict of interest.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
Wole, God, we don't want to look like we're being
political for a guy who's openly breaking whatever. So they
decided to wait.
Speaker 3 (46:32):
And see if he would actually follow through.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
Cut to the change of guard the FBI, The career
Biden people handed off to the new Trump FBI, and.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
They basically killed the investigation there.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
It is so right now there's only I think two
lawyers working in the DJ's Public Corruption office as of
this moment.
Speaker 2 (46:50):
So you know, open.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
Corruption is essentially the de facto way of doing business
if you're a registered Republican right, if not, you.
Speaker 3 (46:58):
Will be treated like common criminal. Yeah, it's just wild.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
But yeah, but any other again, any other fucking time,
this would be immediate resignation material.
Speaker 3 (47:09):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
Even like in the National Review, which is a very
you know, very conservative outlet, they're like, this does not
look good, seems bad.
Speaker 2 (47:18):
It's like basically every journalistic outlet's undercurrent to the subtext.
Speaker 3 (47:24):
Yeah, real quick.
Speaker 2 (47:25):
Sinclair Broadcasting, you know, when they canceled Kimmel, they said
that they will be broadcasting a special and rememberance of
Charlie Kirk and Lieu of his show for ABC affiliates
on Friday. That special ended up being celebrity family feud
is what I showed.
Speaker 1 (47:43):
So, I mean, the backlash has been pretty significant. A
lot of people have been, like, you know, canceling their
Disney Plus memberships. They've been protesting outside of like Disney
or the old Kimmel theater. Yeah, it's not a great
not a great look to just be the corporation that preemptive,
(48:03):
well not even preemptively I mean like the government pressured them,
but like not even putting up a fight against something
so blatantly illegal. A lot of people are like you,
you're basically selling everyone out with being a company with
the resources to fight back. Just don't you're creating You're
really making it really frictionless.
Speaker 3 (48:21):
What if they get mad at us? Give we can't
maximize our fucking sure.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
What do you what are you gonna do with you make?
If you knee shrehold value, you're gonna have to bend
another knee and then when you go I've bet both knees,
they'll be like, well, then break your legs again to
make new knees. To mood, we're gonna we're gonna get
so good at knee bends. We're gonna our quads are
gonna be fucking And then what do you.
Speaker 3 (48:44):
Do with the quads?
Speaker 1 (48:44):
Okay, fine, let's be okay, fine, you get you get
jacked from the fucking knee bends and your quads are popping.
Speaker 3 (48:49):
Then what.
Speaker 2 (48:53):
We're like the official media thing of l elf your
United States of America two and fifty. Yeah, but they
will we get to carry the UFC fights on Disney.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
The President will compliment Disney's thighs like that are like Christmas.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
Hams, like Christmas hanms. You see their quads, they're like
Christmas hams.
Speaker 3 (49:11):
All right.
Speaker 2 (49:13):
In less serious news, they opened a central perk in
New York City.
Speaker 3 (49:19):
It was announce Friends. Yeah, the Friends coffee shop.
Speaker 2 (49:22):
I guess there was already one in Boston, decidedly not
where Friends took place, and they opened one in New
York City and it looks like shit. The one from
the show was you know, comfortable and inviting and like
had big puffy couches that would just swallow you up.
(49:45):
And this one looks like it could be the break
room in the office from Severance, like Jesus, yeah, because
it's the what do you know? What do you know
what part of the city it's in, because the exterior
was Greenwich Village right for like their apartment building.
Speaker 1 (50:00):
Because every time I'm like like wandering through like Manhattan
or something and I'm in Greenwich Village most like why
are people outside of this building? And I'm like, oh,
this is the outside of the Friends apartment But oh
in Times Square of course, the most New York place,
of course, center.
Speaker 3 (50:16):
Of New York, the best place in New York. Yeah yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. It looks so sterile, man, Yeah, it really
looks sterile. It looks I've not.
Speaker 1 (50:26):
Watched enough Friends really ever, but like to know if
it's really giving central perk, but I guess maybe like the.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
Bar is just like no area, but yeah, they no couches,
not nothing comfy.
Speaker 3 (50:40):
The lighting looks yeah, like you.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
Have to have like isn't it like a purple couch
or something.
Speaker 1 (50:45):
I feel like they're like things in my mind that
I'm like there's a just like couch in there.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
Reset do do the thing like have the thing from
the from the show. Just have a little section. There's
just like two couches, like just have that there.
Speaker 3 (50:58):
You know, Yeah, this is this is this is an abomination, abomination.
Speaker 1 (51:03):
I feel bad for friends fans, like if you're really like,
if you really fuck with the show that much, just
to go to like some it doesn't even like even
if you squint your eyes, like it doesn't even kind
of look like.
Speaker 3 (51:13):
Hard for me.
Speaker 2 (51:15):
Hey man, but good luck, man, good luck. I'm sure
the coffee is fucking great. One person on Twitter, Joe
at Hackerman. Joe tweeted, they gentrified a fake location. Just
fucking vile, vile. Right, all right, those are some of
the things that are trending on this Monday, September twenty second.
(51:36):
We are back tomorrow with a whole last episode of
the show. For those of you who do not get raptured,
you know, or you know it'll be there in the morning,
you can we never know what is going to happen. Yeah,
I mean, I feel like it's going to be an
afternoon thing. Actually, Like people just like wake up in
the morning and everything like that.
Speaker 3 (51:57):
Would actually be the safest way to do it.
Speaker 1 (51:59):
If you think about it, something weird did happen, like
not like a rapture, but something odd happened like that
was mysterious that had the world's attention, And then you
get all these people being like, guys, I dol't.
Speaker 2 (52:12):
You what It's like the situation happened the day of
the rapture. Yeah, I don't know, Like I I feel
like in the Leftovers when they rapture people like planes
start falling out of the sky because they rapture pilots.
Speaker 3 (52:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:32):
Yeah, it's like, was this rapture handled by doge?
Speaker 3 (52:35):
Like who? What?
Speaker 2 (52:37):
Would you just like schedule it for a time when
things like there weren't that many planes, but they like
do it right in the middle of that afternoon.
Speaker 1 (52:45):
Yeah, yeah, come on, I don't know, guys, just stay
safe or hey, look, you know one thing, if you're
an atheist, nothing's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (52:53):
Yeah, I mean, you might lose a couple friends or
people at work.
Speaker 3 (52:57):
And maybe you'll maybe you'll reconsider.
Speaker 2 (53:00):
Yeah, maybe maybe we'll all learn an important lesson today.
Speaker 3 (53:03):
Who knows.
Speaker 2 (53:05):
All right, until then, be kind to each other, be
kind to yourselves, get your vaccine while you still can't
get your flu shots.
