Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of ghost
Sighters in the Sky. That's courtesy to Johnny Davis, which
is I think the name of a fantasy novels. Um,
I did not know that. No know that, but good
name for anything really ghosts Ghostwriters in the Sky, ghost Siders,
(00:21):
ghost Sighters. Um, I'm Johns Ghostsiders. Uh, I'm Jack your miles.
It is the end of the week. We're a little punchy, um,
but we made it Friday, and uh, here are some
things that are trending. Apparently, Miles, there is a feeding
(00:42):
frenzy going on among the agencies when it comes to
squid Game. Um, that's what deadlines reporting, which is always uh,
I don't know. I haven't got my mind around like
the very strange way that people right in the industry trades.
(01:02):
But um, right, like even though I've been reading it
for fifteen years, there's just still something so uncanny and uh,
like I can't get my mind around what I hate
about it, or like if I hate it, but it's
just so strange. Um. But anyways, the thing that like
none of the actors or even the writer director of
(01:25):
Squid Game, we're not repped uh by any of the
big agencies, so they're they're getting the stops thrown out
for them. Netflix is doing like a a squid Game
like event where they're like, Hey, you guys, see this thing.
We fucking nailed it u in in Hollywood. Uh. And
(01:49):
I think it's also probably at least partially because the
agencies were like, get these people over here, get them
all in one place. Um. But yeah, you know, super
talented cast and you know of probably for the most part,
very extremely successful actors and already absolutely but I hadn't
(02:13):
realized they made that show for two million dollars in episode.
Each one of those episodes cost two million dollars. That
better than most of like the Daniel Craig Bond movies.
Like that thing looked fucking amazing. That dude is I
went from being like, that guy's really fucking talented to
that motherfucker is like like stretching two million him. I
(02:40):
mean that's not I mean, that's definitely that's a significant
budget for TV. But I mean when you consider like
everything that you get out of it, you're like, I
mean that it looked really good. I've never liked a
first season as much as I like that without wanting
to see a second season as much as I don't
want to see a second season this quick again, Yeah, um,
like I just don't. I don't know. The director was
(03:02):
talking about how they had to really figure out like
how to really end it, and they're like, is he
going to do the you know, like, is this character
is it? Is it only about seeing his family after that?
Or has going through the squid game sort of put
in him this desire now to understand why these people
(03:25):
that he eventually became friends with all how to die? Right? Um?
But yeah, both like heroic directions to go, like because
a lot of people died for personal thing, he wants
to add something to it. But I don't know, Like
I even the ending, I like better if it doesn't
like if it's not setting up a second season, if
(03:46):
it's just like that's how they ended the story with
him making a difficult decision, also like showing that he's
been like just he can't get out of this, he's
unable to escape that that amblers uh you know, dilemma
chasing that dragon. But I'll watch season two, so yeah,
I will too. I just like, really I like love
(04:09):
season one to the point that I don't want to
see it get sucked up by six in two. And
I'm usually not like that. I'm just like do whatever.
But like with with that show in particular, I just
really loved it. Accurate Integra. Hey it's back, baby, I
love it. Yeah, I love it. People are feeling a
(04:31):
certain hating on it. People are really hating on so
they haven't made an accurate Integra since uh two thousand
and six, I think is what I saw, um, and
they're bringing it back. People are like, it's a it's
a nostalgia play. Some people are calling it a cheap
nostalgia play. Um. The font is that they have written
(04:52):
on the I mean it's not not all cars will
have not right, but it does look like it's from
another era, the funt but it's um, yeah, I don't
I don't quite get why people would be uh feel
any sort of way, like is there a there must
(05:12):
be a car culture that I'm just not aware of.
That's like, how dare you? It's nostalgic? I mean ship
I would love for I mean really bring the old
body style Integra back. I would love it if they
brought the fucking Honda Prelude back. I'd be fucking right there.
But I think over time, the two door coup style
(05:33):
has just become like not practical. And I think, you know,
like two door coups are for people who sell drugs, okay,
not people with families. Like, let's be real, all my friends,
if you're serving, you had a two door cooping, but
a wild as exhaust on it. Um. But I mean
I like this. I just I there are there's a
(05:54):
recent like Hunda I brought back a like old school
Econo luxury car that they want to make all electric,
and I was like, yo, this is fucking tight. I
love seeing this old body style, but the complete modern
treatment on the interior um is wonderful. Um. And with this,
I'm like, why are they talking about cheap nostalgia plays? Meanwhile,
everyone's losing their ship over that Bronco coming back, and
(06:16):
are people saying that ship there? Yeah? So whatever, Like
I think it's cool, get mad, don't get mad, But
I don't I don't understand like the outright hatred of it. Right. Um.
I do really like the Bronco for some reason, like
(06:37):
that that car, that old Broncos really having honestly having
it's time. Yeah, I think I think we all just
saw O J driving it and we were just like,
see there goes an innocent man. That's how it's done. Um.
But I remember as a kid, the Bronco was like
a meme car. You know they're Bronco because right, I
(07:01):
feel like that's how we were all on that ship,
because like you know, like that chase happened when we're
all like in fourth grade and ship and I was
like a Broncos a dump car. But then you see
the new body type of like, Okay, that's I'm kind
of working with that. But again, leave the integral alone.
Shout out to all the Honda fans out there, you know, yeah,
I mean this Gelapnic article that is like them, the
(07:24):
backlash to the backlash, But they're just like a manual
five door hatch with a limited. I don't know what
any of this ship means. Differential is that where you're
going limited a limited slip dipth that will probably get
the type our motor down the line? Yeah you want
that type r Oh god it comes in fun colors
(07:44):
to anything but that So I mean, yeah, like what
the ship looks dope. Yeah, let's bring back more retro cars, honestly,
like I feel that, Like that's what somebody I heard
somebody make that claim on a podcast a while back.
But like, yo, we love like retro shoes, why aren't
(08:05):
you doing that with cars? And right? Yeah, like bring
that ship back? Like why why not they need to
retro all car designs? Like I'm not I'm not joking.
I would probably re buy my fucking a handre prelude
if they brought it back. That's how much I loved
(08:25):
that fucking car. I would buy for the fucking like Volvo,
like weird tank Volvo my mom by us back in
the day. I don't know. There's just like things if
I saw them and like I'm like, wait, that's just
electric or like a hybrid plus like Bluetooth and speakers.
I'm like, okay, Yeah. Somebody was sharing a picture of
like a Chrysler from back in the day that uh
(08:47):
they were acting like it was a new a new release,
and uh it was dope, Like it's like, yeah, man,
that that ship actually looks really cool. Boract is trending.
Uh uh what's this? Who's who's that? Well? Borax is
not a new Sasha Baron Cohen character, but it's trending
(09:10):
because of a phenomenon that is sweeping anti vax culture. Um,
there's a piece out from NBC News that's talking about how,
you know, anti vac quote anti vactors are caving to
mandates and getting this shot. Then they're scrambling to quote
undo it by drawing blood cupping or drumroab lease bathing
(09:31):
in borax. So they're und undoing the vaccination. Mm hmmmmm.
Uh oh that's how that's how fucking easy it is.
You bathe and fucking borax to undo I'm I don't
(09:51):
even know, man, I really don't know, and I don't
know if I mean, is there like, is there are
we starting to see like a trend of people who
are trolling anti factors, who are so desperate to be like, yeah,
man I bathe in borax. Y'all right, just like start
a trend because they will, they'll do anything. But yeah,
but unfortunately it's someone who's like a like a doctor
on TikTok damn. Yeah, all right, let's uh, let's take
(10:18):
a break before I lose consciousness from that story, and
uh well we'll do a quick sedition vibe check when
we come back, and we're back, and you know, the
(10:38):
the jan six committee is uh still out there. Um,
Bannon just got indicted. That got the Bannon Bannon Uh
that got the like siren treatment on the front page
of Drudge, Like Bannon has been indicted, so uh yeah,
(10:59):
it can be consequent. There's something. Let's see what he's
at is if he's tough at his arraignment, Uh, see
what happens there. But prior to this, like, I mean,
there was so much pressure on Merrick Garland to be like, hey,
what the funk? You didn't show up? Here we go?
You need to actually do this ship or else you
might as well usher in. I mean, I think it
might be too late, but the fascist fix might be
(11:20):
fully in if you don't take control of this situation.
And yeah, the grand jury is ready. Uh so we
shall see where that goes. I also know Mark Meadows,
the chief of Staff, Trump's soul chief staff. He was
a no show for his appointment with the January six panel.
So people are testing the waters. Uh, and I guess
(11:42):
we'll see how far it goes. I guess we'll see
what Bannon is like, uh, you know, in this his arraignment,
if he's trying to still be tough if he I
don't know. That's what I'm really curious to see is truly,
where where where does he go from here? Because it's
not he can get he can get a pardon. Yeah,
so I mean says you know, we we've been on
(12:03):
a run of stories where somebody did some wild, illegal,
deadly murderous ship on camera in front of us. We
got to see it, we saw what happened, and then
like with written House, with the mod are very like
(12:24):
and fucking January six where it just seems like and
then people are just like, now you actually can't get
them to show up to court because they're ignoring it,
and it just seems like we're I don't know, maybe
this is a small, small wind, but I just I
am tired of being told that the illegal murders that
(12:45):
were that happened on technicalities only applied to white supremisses murderers.
So yeah, we'll have to keep we'll have to keep
our fingers crossed to see if there is something called
the justice. But I mean, at this point, they've called
more people to testify front of the committee. There's people
from Pence's inner circle because now they've been trying to
(13:07):
be like, Okay, let's see what we can put together
based on what people on the on Pence's team were
experiencing on the sixth um. Then there's like there's a
couple of people who they've invited to speak, like Michael Flynn,
Jason miller Um, this guy Bernie Carrick that are probably
not going to cooperate just given their reputations. They you know,
(13:29):
like it's like, nah, I don't, I don't. I don't
see them doing this. I feel like they're gonna put
up a big stink. Then there's some other people like
Angela McCallum, who is the National Executive Assistant of Election
Day Operations whatever that means that she was a recent
college graduate, but they have a voicemail of her where
she's trying she's leaving a message for a Michigan legislator
(13:49):
just basically being like, you got to prove an alternate
slate of electors because fraud. So they're trying to be like, Okay,
so who the did you just do this on your
own or who told you to say that? Who told
you to lean on them? From this position, it would
be interesting to see if Pence as people continue to
carry that water. I mean, probably because he's a coward.
But Trump had a had an interview with someone named
(14:14):
Jonathan Carl from ABC News. Jonathan Carl asked him if
he was worried. This is actually a pretty smart line
of questioning from Jonathan Carl, because he asked, were worried
about him Mike Pence during the siege? Were you worried
about his safety? Trump? No, I thought he was well protected,
and I had heard that he was in good shape. No,
because I had heard he was in good shape. But no,
(14:36):
I think because you heard those chances that was terrible.
I mean, he could have Well, the people were very angry.
I mean they were saying, hang Mike Pence. Well, because
it's common sense, John, it's common sense. They're supposed to protect.
How can you if you're a vote as fraudulent, right,
how can you pass on a fraudulent vote to Congress?
Not a little later on, how can you pass a
vote that you know as fraudulent? Now, when I spoke
(14:58):
to him, I really talked about it, all the fraudulent
things that happened during the election. Um, so he's basically
like defending the people who are couldn't be clear that
he was, like, honestly, that motherfucker should have caved. I
don't know what the where he found his fucking spine,
(15:19):
but yeah, it's it. I mean it's I feel like
it's pretty clear. So it's like again one of those
things where it's like, uh, let the let whatever. This
conclusion the panel comes to is are is it suddenly
gonna be like people don't care about that anymore. It's like,
oh no, yeah, it's a lot of clear and present
(15:41):
danger as people don't care about. So I guess that
part of the course, given today's discourse, not being able
to fucking nail this one on like would really be
a new high watermark for democrats just being incompetent. It
will be a whole chapter in a history book about
this country fucking this up that bad. And they're like,
(16:03):
it's really weird. It's like they they just let the
people walk closer and closer to them with a knife,
and they're like, hey, better better, and it's like don't, don't, don't,
don't turn down. People are less less concerned about the
person walking close to me with a knife while playing
the sneaky music from Pink Panther. So I think, uh
(16:27):
think we're gonna have to just let this one, let
this one go. Oh, they wouldn't. They wouldn't. They wouldn't.
They wouldn't. They are they did. I'm in a camp
the we used to talk more about a civil war.
That's starting to become a popular conversation piece. Yeah, I
(16:48):
feel like people are starting to catch up too. I'm
seeing like outlets that used to be like that's crazy,
uh startping like that's I used to think that was crazy,
And now I'm uh like I literally saw somebody open
an article being like like this is a thing that
only people who are like part of the fringe or
(17:11):
like you know, paranoid used to think. Um. But now
I I'm taking it more seriously and it's like, well,
maybe they saw something you didn't. Um. I don't know
how the fringe, these fringe journalists figured it out. I
think they were like talking to people and comparing that
(17:31):
with other trends across history. But yeah, I mean I
think it is. It's probably very unsettling for very comfortable
people to think that the country they live in could
become so unstable, And I guess it's easier to ignore
it than really try and be like no, this is
a fucking problem and has to be addressed. Mexico versus
(17:52):
USA grudge match. Yeah, this is the big the main
rivalry in especially as it relates to quality. Fine, for
the World Cup, I mean Mexico and the US are
the big like, you know, the big fix the big
teams in Conka calf which is our regional confederation. But um,
this is always a big It's always a big game.
(18:13):
It's always a big game for US soccer fans and
Mexican soccer fans. Um. Yeah, hopefully the UF you know,
the US looks a lot better to on on track
to qualify for not this coming summer's World Cup, but
next winters World Cup and cutter So people are watching
(18:34):
with bated breath. Wow is that? Why is it happening
next winter? Because they these uh, these human rights violators
were able to buy a World Cup to greenwash and
sports or rather sports wash their whole reputation. Um and
then fifas like okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll cooperate with you.
Oh but your your climate is all it's actually it's
(18:56):
not even feasible to have an athletic tournament in the summer.
There they try to be like, we'll build air conditioners
so big it will blow your fucking face off. And
you're like, that's the most impractical thing I've ever heard of,
and they're like, fuck it, just do it in November.
And then everyone's like, what the fund is that? Why
this doesn't even make sense? Supposed to be in the summer,
(19:16):
and you're gonna interrupt domestic leagues and ship like that.
So it's all part of the forest that is the
World Cup. And so Mexico VERSUS USA is going to
determine who represents North and Central America. No I no
like that. They're they're they're going to qualify. The US
and Mexico are going to qualify. Like it's it's only
(19:37):
because last time it was a pretty abysmal performance from
the US. Because right now in the standings in the
final round, the US and Mexico are one and two.
Don't disappoint US USA. In soccer, or as it's known internationally,
the KICKI sport internationally is sack soccer, the kicky game,
(20:02):
and the NBA the beautiful game. Um as we all know.
As we all know, all right, those are some of
the things that are trending here on Friday afternoon. We
are back on Monday with the whole last episode of
the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be
kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't do nothing about
(20:24):
white and supremacy, and we will talk to you all
on Monday. By later
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of ghost
Sighters in the Sky. That's courtesy to Johnny Davis, which

are trolling anti factors, who are so desperate to be like, yeah,
man I bathe in borax. Y'all right, just like start
a trend because they will, they'll do anything. But yeah,
but unfortunately it's someone who's like a like a doctor
on TikTok damn. Yeah, all right, let's uh, let's take
(10:18):
a break before I lose consciousness from that story, and
uh well we'll do a quick sedition vibe check when
we come back, and we're back, and you know, the
(10:38):
the jan six committee is uh still out there. Um,
Bannon just got indicted. That got the Bannon Bannon Uh
that got the like siren treatment on the front page
of Drudge, Like Bannon has been indicted, so uh yeah,
(10:59):
it can be consequent. There's something. Let's see what he's
at is if he's tough at his arraignment, Uh, see
what happens there. But prior to this, like, I mean,
there was so much pressure on Merrick Garland to be like, hey,
what the funk? You didn't show up? Here we go?
You need to actually do this ship or else you
might as well usher in. I mean, I think it
might be too late, but the fascist fix might be
(11:20):
fully in if you don't take control of this situation.
And yeah, the grand jury is ready. Uh so we
shall see where that goes. I also know Mark Meadows,
the chief of Staff, Trump's soul chief staff. He was
a no show for his appointment with the January six panel.
So people are testing the waters. Uh, and I guess
(11:42):
we'll see how far it goes. I guess we'll see
what Bannon is like, uh, you know, in this his arraignment,
if he's trying to still be tough if he I
don't know. That's what I'm really curious to see is truly,
where where where does he go from here? Because it's
not he can get he can get a pardon. Yeah,
so I mean says you know, we we've been on
(12:03):
a run of stories where somebody did some wild, illegal,
deadly murderous ship on camera in front of us. We
got to see it, we saw what happened, and then
like with written House, with the mod are very like
(12:24):
and fucking January six where it just seems like and
then people are just like, now you actually can't get
them to show up to court because they're ignoring it,
and it just seems like we're I don't know, maybe
this is a small, small wind, but I just I
am tired of being told that the illegal murders that
(12:45):
were that happened on technicalities only applied to white supremisses murderers.
So yeah, we'll have to keep we'll have to keep
our fingers crossed to see if there is something called
the justice. But I mean, at this point, they've called
more people to testify front of the committee. There's people
from Pence's inner circle because now they've been trying to
(13:07):
be like, Okay, let's see what we can put together
based on what people on the on Pence's team were
experiencing on the sixth um. Then there's like there's a
couple of people who they've invited to speak, like Michael Flynn,
Jason miller Um, this guy Bernie Carrick that are probably
not going to cooperate just given their reputations. They you know,
(13:29):
like it's like, nah, I don't, I don't. I don't
see them doing this. I feel like they're gonna put
up a big stink. Then there's some other people like
Angela McCallum, who is the National Executive Assistant of Election
Day Operations whatever that means that she was a recent
college graduate, but they have a voicemail of her where
she's trying she's leaving a message for a Michigan legislator
(13:49):
just basically being like, you got to prove an alternate
slate of electors because fraud. So they're trying to be like, Okay,
so who the did you just do this on your
own or who told you to say that? Who told
you to lean on them? From this position, it would
be interesting to see if Pence as people continue to
carry that water. I mean, probably because he's a coward.
But Trump had a had an interview with someone named
(14:14):
Jonathan Carl from ABC News. Jonathan Carl asked him if
he was worried. This is actually a pretty smart line
of questioning from Jonathan Carl, because he asked, were worried
about him Mike Pence during the siege? Were you worried
about his safety? Trump? No, I thought he was well protected,
and I had heard that he was in good shape. No,
because I had heard he was in good shape. But no,
(14:36):
I think because you heard those chances that was terrible.
I mean, he could have Well, the people were very angry.
I mean they were saying, hang Mike Pence. Well, because
it's common sense, John, it's common sense. They're supposed to protect.
How can you if you're a vote as fraudulent, right,
how can you pass on a fraudulent vote to Congress?
Not a little later on, how can you pass a
vote that you know as fraudulent? Now, when I spoke
(14:58):
to him, I really talked about it, all the fraudulent
things that happened during the election. Um, so he's basically
like defending the people who are couldn't be clear that
he was, like, honestly, that motherfucker should have caved. I
don't know what the where he found his fucking spine,
(15:19):
but yeah, it's it. I mean it's I feel like
it's pretty clear. So it's like again one of those
things where it's like, uh, let the let whatever. This
conclusion the panel comes to is are is it suddenly
gonna be like people don't care about that anymore. It's like,
oh no, yeah, it's a lot of clear and present
(15:41):
danger as people don't care about. So I guess that
part of the course, given today's discourse, not being able
to fucking nail this one on like would really be
a new high watermark for democrats just being incompetent. It
will be a whole chapter in a history book about
this country fucking this up that bad. And they're like,
(16:03):
it's really weird. It's like they they just let the
people walk closer and closer to them with a knife,
and they're like, hey, better better, and it's like don't, don't, don't,
don't turn down. People are less less concerned about the
person walking close to me with a knife while playing
the sneaky music from Pink Panther. So I think, uh
(16:27):
think we're gonna have to just let this one, let
this one go. Oh, they wouldn't. They wouldn't. They wouldn't.
They wouldn't. They are they did. I'm in a camp
the we used to talk more about a civil war.
That's starting to become a popular conversation piece. Yeah, I
(16:48):
feel like people are starting to catch up too. I'm
seeing like outlets that used to be like that's crazy,
uh startping like that's I used to think that was crazy,
And now I'm uh like I literally saw somebody open
an article being like like this is a thing that
only people who are like part of the fringe or
(17:11):
like you know, paranoid used to think. Um. But now
I I'm taking it more seriously and it's like, well,
maybe they saw something you didn't. Um. I don't know
how the fringe, these fringe journalists figured it out. I
think they were like talking to people and comparing that
(17:31):
with other trends across history. But yeah, I mean I
think it is. It's probably very unsettling for very comfortable
people to think that the country they live in could
become so unstable, And I guess it's easier to ignore
it than really try and be like no, this is
a fucking problem and has to be addressed. Mexico versus
(17:52):
USA grudge match. Yeah, this is the big the main
rivalry in especially as it relates to quality. Fine, for
the World Cup, I mean Mexico and the US are
the big like, you know, the big fix the big
teams in Conka calf which is our regional confederation. But um,
this is always a big It's always a big game.
(18:13):
It's always a big game for US soccer fans and
Mexican soccer fans. Um. Yeah, hopefully the UF you know,
the US looks a lot better to on on track
to qualify for not this coming summer's World Cup, but
next winters World Cup and cutter So people are watching
(18:34):
with bated breath. Wow is that? Why is it happening
next winter? Because they these uh, these human rights violators
were able to buy a World Cup to greenwash and
sports or rather sports wash their whole reputation. Um and
then fifas like okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll cooperate with you.
Oh but your your climate is all it's actually it's
(18:56):
not even feasible to have an athletic tournament in the summer.
There they try to be like, we'll build air conditioners
so big it will blow your fucking face off. And
you're like, that's the most impractical thing I've ever heard of,
and they're like, fuck it, just do it in November.
And then everyone's like, what the fund is that? Why
this doesn't even make sense? Supposed to be in the summer,
(19:16):
and you're gonna interrupt domestic leagues and ship like that.
So it's all part of the forest that is the
World Cup. And so Mexico VERSUS USA is going to
determine who represents North and Central America. No I no
like that. They're they're they're going to qualify. The US
and Mexico are going to qualify. Like it's it's only
(19:37):
because last time it was a pretty abysmal performance from
the US. Because right now in the standings in the
final round, the US and Mexico are one and two.
Don't disappoint US USA. In soccer, or as it's known internationally,
the KICKI sport internationally is sack soccer, the kicky game,
(20:02):
and the NBA the beautiful game. Um as we all know.
As we all know, all right, those are some of
the things that are trending here on Friday afternoon. We
are back on Monday with the whole last episode of
the show. Until then, be kind to each other, be
kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, don't do nothing about
(20:24):
white and supremacy, and we will talk to you all
on Monday. By later
