Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of I
Get by with a little help from my trends, or
for Miles, I get high with a little help from
my trends, because you smoke weed. Man, No, I don't
said that. I'm running for mayor and I've been sober
(00:21):
since I was a baby. I'm Jack. That is Miles,
and I am running from mayor. He is running and
does not smoke weed. Stop spread those filthy rumors. K
D did. Didn't stop spreend those rumors. I'm not on
a show called four twenty Day Fiances. It's it's about
(00:42):
how many days it feels like to these people. It's
it's us talking to Yeah, you are having a long engagement.
What if you just planned it exactly for ship? You
gotta do with me? All right? Man? The show has
(01:02):
been canceled. Great Republicans are trending. They they stay petty,
they are so like, there's that first address. It's not
really the state of the Union. Is that what we're
dealing with here, It's like the first first addressed to
Congress as president. I remember this was the one that
Trump knocked out of the park by uh phonetically reading
(01:28):
the speech in a very dry manner. That was I
think that that was the birth of the tonight Donald
Trump became president. Mean, but maybe maybe it was like
a hundred things before that. But anyway, it's in the
State of the Union or maybe the second one after
his like Spooky White Supremacy Menagerie show of like and
(01:48):
this is someone whose child was killed by M. S.
Thirt Remember that? Remember that? Oh yeah, I thought that
was one of the states of the may I mean, look,
it's fucking what's face saying that ship? So yeah, yeah,
who was it? Was it Van Jones? I think? Yeah? Um, alright,
(02:10):
So the Republicans have decided they're they're just not even
gonna show to this thing. They don't care, they don't do.
It's I think a lot of it, you know. The
reason being is like the House isn't in session or
Congress is an in session during that time. So a
lot of people using the excuse like, well, I'm going
to be in my district. Oh really, because so many
(02:32):
of you are in district so much but saying that
that's why, and so I'm not going to be able
to make it. Tom Cotton, Senator bringing the army, when
asked if he was going to be there, he replied, ha,
no comment. Senator Joani Earns from Iowash he said, not
that I'm aware of. I don't think I'll probably attend. Okay.
(02:52):
Then you have other people like Greg Pence of Mike Pence,
Fain's brother saying I'm not going to be there. I
have a Lincoln Day dinner back at home. So a
lot of just petty bullshit, which is fine, like whatever,
like if you don't want to go, you don't want
to go, right, But I think the interesting thing is that,
like it started off with the Republicans being like, well,
can you reschedule it because like we're gonna We're like,
(03:13):
it's it's not gonna work for us. And then because
it's a pandemic, they aren't going to pack the chamber
out fully like go full cap chamber in there, so
they're saying, yeah, it's gonna be selective, so you're gonna
need tickets to this, and they're like, well, I don't
hon't see why any tickets, and then that turned into
well I'm not going to be there, then did they?
So did they reschedule it for the republic They're like, no,
(03:37):
just fucking be there. I you're gonna be there, be there.
So the president is addressing Congress, which is what you're
what you're part of. Um. But I think at the
end of the day, like I'm sure the conservatives will
also be like, people didn't go to some of Trump's things.
It's like the huh, that's because they're one to one there,
even the point nine five to one comparison. Yeah, I
(04:00):
would get it. There's it's that outrage, that outrage outrage. Wait,
Tom Cotton is six five. Who's the one who's tiny?
Josh Holly, maybe I know Tom Cotton looks like just
some fucked up scarecrow. Oh yeah he does. Wow, he's
like mostly neck. There's usually Republicans who don't have necks.
(04:21):
And then he's all this dude who's all neck. Uh yeah,
shout out to him. He's six five. Yeah, six five.
It's fucking dunked on a very tall person like that. Uh.
I feel like you like they they become more successful
(04:41):
just based on their height. Yeah, people are just like, well,
they're big, so they probably got this. What are you
gonna disagree with him? Even though he's saying racist shit,
I don't know, he's six five but his knees look
weak as ship. Did you see you can go up
the stairs. He looks wobbly. Take him out. I would
love to just see him try and go up with him. Beat. Okay,
(05:05):
he's driving the lane and he's like, you know what,
I'm gonna block this. No, you're not to photoshop that.
I need Doc to sit and beat. He's looking tired
out there. He's he's got a lot of work. He's
having to do a lot of work. Yeah without without
Simmons there, uh not as good turns out. It helps
(05:28):
to have the best defensive player in the league out
there with you. Anyways, I want to stay confident, man,
Stay confident. Oh yeah, I'm still feeling all right. I
think the second round. No, he will not get them
because of the myth and the eighteen games and all that. Ship.
Let's see what so in culture war news that is
(05:53):
actually very old news, but apparently still at it. Um
the Wisconsin. Uh, Glenn Grothman is using his time on
the house house floor. Glenn Grothman. Hell yeah, uh, he's
using his time on the house floor to bring up
Cardi B's Grammy's performance. Yeah, this is just listen. I
(06:18):
don't know we're in April of one. The Chauvin verdict
was read this week. Uh, and anti hate crime bill
was signed this week. But this is what these dusty
ash Republicans all they got. I got something to say,
and this is what he had to say. I received
complaints in my office, and rightfully so, about Cardi b
(06:38):
and the Grammys. They wonder why we are paying the
f c C if they feel that this should be
in living rooms across the nation. I realized that Kamala
Harris has used her fame to promote promote this performer.
But I assured the FCC that millions of America hold
on Kamala Harris Harris with Cardi b B? What does
(06:59):
she write? Boat at yellow? Are you talking about? Was she? Did?
She cast her all love and hip hop all those
years ago to give her anyway? I'm sorry? Is that
just like? Is there any association did she just like
approve of? Like? Who knows? It's just I think it's
just because they're both women of color that scare them.
Black women hang out, they must promote each other. I'll
(07:22):
let him continue his nonsense. Ks with you. Her performances
inconsistent with basic decency, wake up FCC and begin to
do your job. The moral decline of America is partly
due to your utter complacency. No more exactly to your
utter complacency. Your complacency with it doesn't it's actually you
can't be complacent because you're you're not actually looking for
(07:43):
anything to change, So you're just an old piece of
sh it. So thanks for that. Also, the Grammys were
six fucking weeks ago. That's so funny to hear, like
a sleepwalking like impacted large in tests didn't be like
wake up anybody, fine, six weeks ago full you've farting
(08:09):
up there on Mike for nothing. I mean another thing
is too A lot of people pointed out, like do
Alipa in Ariana Grande, they weren't exactly chased, But for
some reason that didn't bother me as much. Yeah, maybe
because they're they're they aren't black, and they don't have
they're not coming for Trump's throat, so I have nothing
to say about that. It's just so transparent. Again, it's tired,
(08:31):
but there they go. This is like they're grasping at
the same fucking straws. It's like six weeks ago, Like
what are they're gonna talk about Colin Kaepernick in like
a month. I bet yeah, yeah for sure, Like as
if it's happening now, not to be like Colin Kaepernick
set off blah blah, he'sn't there, Like and there's Colin Kaepernick.
It's like, oh my god, you'll just save these buzz
(08:53):
names to get your outrage dicks out. I mean, and
they're so like the Democrats have a president, like they
are controlling, Like you you should have enough to talk
about with just whatever your objection is as a politician,
but you can't. They can't talk about Joe Biden because
(09:14):
that will bring people's attention to some of the policies
that are polling, well that's happening on the box. Like
they can't even be like fuck Joe Biden, Like, man,
shut the fuck a budget of bidend fucking figure, they're
gonna look at, like what's going on? So they gotta
pivot all this other wacky nonsense. Did Biden announce recently
that he's going to run in twenty twenty four, that
(09:35):
he's not gonna hand it off? I read that somewhere,
and I read it, I mean I overheard it. Overheard
someone saying in a hipster coffee shop. Yeah, and exactly
get all. That's how I prep for these running coffee anyways,
(09:56):
shout out to that man, Grothman. The Oscars are on
Sunday if you missed the episode early earlier this week.
They're gonna be weird. They're like being conceived of as
an experimental film directed by Steven Soderberg, very just like
(10:17):
it could be a thing where he's like talking it
up and then it's not gonna be as weird as
he claims. But he's saying that like each presenter is
going to be playing a version of themselves and there's
gonna be like a narrative through line, all of which
I hate, uh, like as far as like ideas for
what to do with the Oscars. But I will be
(10:39):
watching because that sounds like a real clusterfuck. Like I
said on that episode, it's either gonna be all good
and you're gonna be like, holy shit, that was concept.
It was entertaining, or it's going to be all bad. Uh,
And I don't care either one. I'm I might watch
purely for that, uh, but I don't know. Part of
you just fucking who cares? I mean, they completely left
(11:06):
us out of the nominations. Man, I'm still it still
stings a little bit. It's still I was like, you're
gonna not take my cell phone video from the Toronto
Live Show and let me submit that as a documentary
feature like documentary both a snub and a flub. It's
being called it's international. Yeah whatever, you know what? Another day,
(11:30):
another day? Did you watch any of the nominees for
Best Pick? Started? No, mad Land and then I fell asleep.
Not because I was boring. I was just like, I
was irresponsible and put it on like way too late
in the day. But I'll probably do some watching this weekend.
I was I a would get like a couple binge
panic sessions in so my idea of what's happening is
(11:54):
somewhat based in what's happening, right, But yeah, I uh
uh I I couldn't bring myself to watch manc uh.
Actually I couldn't convince uh Sarah, my wife, to to
complete MANK with Me. So to complete MANK with Me
(12:14):
it comes like a weird ritual. It's like something Ben
Shapiro would sea. Yeah, I mean, come on, she want
complete the she want to complete this Yoda Ross, He's
doom documentary I wanted to see I wish. I was
glad that she wouldn't because I don't feel like watching
the rest of that ship. So we watched Chinatown instead.
I haven't seen that in a while. Um, it's also good.
(12:38):
I like to watch. Um a movie that is like
a case in point of why the oscars don't matter,
and that is a movie that came out the same
year as Godfather Too. I'm not going to complain that
Godfather Too won any awards over it. I am going
to complain, however, that in the Best Acting category it
(13:02):
was Jack Nicholson from Chinatown up against al Pacino from
Godfather Too, and the award goes to Art Carney from
Harry and Tonto. Um it's yeah, okay, yeah, nailed it
being good. Yeah, I don't even I that movie might
(13:23):
not exist. I'm not Harry and Tonto. It's about a
man traveling the country with his cat. So, you know,
a classic that has gone on to dissipate from the
culture like a fart in the wind. Although I've said
this before and people have been like, actually, Harry and
(13:43):
Tonto is really good. The cat actually should have been nominated. UM,
so maybe I'll shut the funk up until watch Harston.
Yeah yeah, yeah, never. Um, but man, Chinatown is fucking good. Uh,
especially having lived in l A for like a decade now.
(14:03):
It's trying to tell him really really hits bro. I mean, look,
crack open your script writing books, because you know they
love to talk about Chinatown in any script writing book. Yea,
or at least Robert Miki does in story For those
of us who thought they were going to be writers, artievs,
(14:24):
hell no is trending? Um, why why is that? It's so?
I was like, why why is hell no trending? There?
Most of them have to do with Caitlyn Jenner, uh
running for governor. So whether it's like, okay, you're you're
(14:45):
your trans woman running as a Republican who I'm not
sure you've seen what their agenda is at the moment
with trans people, but yeah, that's the part. Okay, So
a lot of people are just like, hell no, I'm
off this. This doesn't even make sense. Uh, and yeah
I don't. I mean, cool, I don't know who puts
(15:06):
you up to this, but it sounds like she's got
a lot of Trump people around her. Um, so that's
the very interesting got some got some real pros on
that campaign staff for sure. Yeah, um, I hate this
uh and I hope it is a catastrophic failure. So yeah,
(15:31):
I don't know why. I don't know what the logic
is because you can tell with some of the people
that are part of this staff, uh, that it's like
very much from the maga wing of like the Republican Party.
And if their logic is that by having a trans
(15:52):
person run as a Republican that that would immediately neutralize
people's perception or just the fact of the party's platform
and the way they're like ideologically moving, like would just
be like oh yeah, no, no, like that that Kilan
Jenner's Republican. What are you talking about? Not trans? We're
not right, Yeah, And I think it may be because
that's how they're like, get get Tim Scott. See there's
(16:14):
a black guy. There's a black senator who's a Republican.
Come on, guys, let's what's going on. What's what are
you saying? So yeah, it all just stinks and it
just feels so off and like not for the right
reasons for anybody involved. So yeah, hell no to that.
And finally, masks outdoors are trending. There's a story it's
(16:34):
not clear if we're supposed to be wearing masks outdoors
or not. Health officials are saying we're probably okay not
to wear them because transmission outside is low. People are
kind of worried about that and saying, but it's not zero. Um,
And I think, yeah, but b let's play it safe,
you know, let's uh, let's wear masks. But to be vaccinated,
(16:57):
like you know, like I've already been able to see
it couple of people who have been fully vaccinated now
and like that's all, that's all happened. I'm like, yo,
you know what we need to do to go to
city walk with no masks on? Like, no man, come over.
I have so much anxiety about going out there, like
let's kick it in the yard or whatever the funk.
But like, like I'm not dying to be mask free places.
(17:21):
And honestly, it's it's allowed some of the weirdest facial
hair growth possible for me when I know the only
people seeing my face are unfortunately you and Anna and
the people who have to be on these zoom calls
when we record this podcast. If you don't want me
to look at your face I don't have, and her majesty. No, no,
it's all good. But then I realized when I got
in public, I'm covered up and they don't know I
(17:42):
got the spooky cheek hair. Oh you guys, I didn't.
I haven't noticed. Oh thank you, No, you're you're so
kind that sweetie, thank you saying that that's why this works.
You can tell you know I have spooky cheek hair, Jack,
but you didn't just admit it. I think it highlights
your jaw line, highlights underneath your cheekbones because it doesn't
(18:06):
grow in all the way. All right. That is what
is trending this Friday afternoon. We are back Monday with
a whole last episode of the show. Until then, be
kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, wear a
mask inside, hand outside, don't do nothing about white supremacy.
(18:29):
And we'll talk to you all on Monday. Bye bye,
