Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of I
Think you should leave sees trend too. I'm Jack at Miles.
That show has taken over all non recorded conversations. Uh yeah,
and even tomorrow's episode a bit. Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna
(00:21):
have it on tomorrow's episode. Uh. In addition to on
a streaming corner, which is we are Lady Parts on Peacock.
If you can check that out, check it out Pacock.
Can you watch it for free? I feel like you
can with ads, but they might I don't know if
(00:42):
they if they had paid for ads, we might have
been we might have said something. Yeah yeah, um anyways,
uh yeah, so watch both of us. Um let's see,
here are some things that are trending. Hey, here's the
thing that's trend hr Derby, Home Run Derby happened Human
Resources Derby, Human Resources Derby where they just go through
(01:06):
and being like, actually, you know, like we're a family here,
so starting any litigation with the company, were like it
was kind of like sour our relationship as a family.
You get it, you know, but yeah, Home Run Derby,
I mean here it here we go. It's also the
All Star break is happening. Everyone gets see show. Hey,
oh Tani, Stephen A. Smith has had to you know,
(01:27):
apologize and all this ship. But yeah, apologize. Well, yeah,
he posted something like, you know, he did one of
those notes app apologies that he tweeted out real quick.
I was like, I'm so sorry. I should know better,
blah blah blah, and it's like, just just put him
out to pasture, y'all. We can make room. There's all.
We have all entirely new generations of people with spicier,
(01:50):
better talented people in the world. Yeah, I mean, like,
have Josiah Johnson just replaced Stephnie Smith. Please, that's easy.
That's a one, that's like a two for one. Yeah,
he's twice the commentator that Stephen A. Smith is and
he and he gives you all the references that you
oh my god. Anyway, like he plays the game behind
(02:12):
the scenes. Well is my sense that he he knows
how to, he he knows the intrigue, he knows how
to and he works his ass off. Yeah, but not
talented and does not have interesting things to say and
very toxic. Uh so the Home Run Derby show, Hey
did not win that, am I? That's really all I know? Yeah,
(02:37):
did he Uh, you like some yakkers, do you, Jackson Dingers? Yeah,
I I I guess a couple. You know. You know,
he did what he had to do. But I think
just him being out there and seeing him out there,
it definitely was just all the talk despite him not winning. Um.
(02:58):
But yeah, you know, I think the people in Japan
were a little upset. I know that because my mom
was like, he should he should have won, and I'm like,
he's he's already doing unprecedented things. Okay, he will have
another He'll have another swing at it quite literally later
in his career. But yeah, it was, yeah, it was,
it was, it was. It was an okay thing to watch.
(03:19):
I just watched the highlights. I didn't get to see
the whole thing. And he uh, in a couple of
hours from when we record this will be the first
person ever to uh pitch as the starting pitcher in
the All Star Game and then be the leadoff batter um,
which is pretty pretty wild, man, pretty wild. Um. So, uh,
(03:44):
those are the things that are trending with regards to
Major League Baseball, which I know people tune in for
a Major League Baseball takes, but absolutely Otani thing is
cultural cross culture defining macaroni and cheese ice cream. What
the funk is this trending van lowin ice cream? I
guess because tomorrow, July four is National Mac and Cheese Day,
(04:07):
they created mac and cheese ice cream. Um, I've I
think on takeout. Um, they actually reviewed it and they
said it's pretty pretty pretty good actually, and which I
don't I can't see it being that bad. I mean,
like I've had like cheesy based desserts, uh and like
(04:29):
when they're done well, like they can be done well. Um,
cream all right, I will I will take any I
will take pretzel bits, I will take a lot of stuff.
But pasta. Yeah, well it's just the flavor, luckily. Um.
But so it's like actually that disc like Ben and Jerry's.
(04:52):
It's like the sauce. If you just folded the sauce,
put the sauce the packets. You just emptied a bunch
of the mac and cheese dust into a bunch of
f cream and egg yolks to make it just like
the most decadent creamy thing you could. But yeah, I
mean it's limited limit, lim me a dish for it,
So you got either shop or you know whatever. It's all.
(05:12):
It's all a big marketing thing. It's a part of me.
A dish BlackBerry birthday cake ice cream from that sounds
like a very salt and straw creation, because I'm like that,
ain't that? Ain't Kroger? Well, we got we got some
things we're celebrating. Bow is pretty much potty train now
(05:34):
just got some new glasses. Bro Ramsey is rocking some
glasses that he has to wear like twenty four hours
a day. He'll notice that I am now wearing my
glasses twenty four hours a day and solid and yeah,
he looks awesome, but they're a pain in the ass.
These are this is like a type of eye condition
(05:55):
where the glasses they put on him for the first
week make him see worse. I didn't know that was
the fucking thing. So he's like, not only does he
like not want to wear something on his face because
he's five and like doesn't want some weird ship on
his face, but they don't help his vision. So you
can't even be like, yeah, but look how clear you see? Man?
(06:16):
So we have to do I have to make up
stuff about how it's like giving him super strong vision.
Um may be careful, that's that's kind of myths we
take into our presidential candidate candidate runs and things like
like I was told at a young age I have
super vision, Daddy told me, and Daddy told me and
(06:41):
had the best eyes. I've always had the best eyes. Um,
all right, let's talk about Megan Kelly uh saying what
we're all thinking. Yeah, this is actually a take I've heard,
Like the dudes on Choppo, Trap Trap House, Choppo, crop
House are always saying that the uh uh January six
(07:04):
interaction was like not as big a deal as people
made it out to be, And that's what Megan Kelly said.
There's no question the media represented it as so much
worse than it actually was. Um sure, I think like
for people like on Choppo, they're looking at it for
more like a hard left perspective in terms of ills
(07:24):
that the country's facing. It's a wet fart or whatever.
But making Kelly is out here as being like relax
y'all it was the media is like zooming in on
the violence and completely misrepresenting it. I'm like, by by
that logic, D Day looked very peaceful if you're looking
for space, Like, so, what the are we talking about here?
(07:45):
Everything is like you can take selected shots of Dallas
on the day JFK was shot where it doesn't look
like that big a deal, but you know, yeah deal
not in l a right. Okay, Well, the meeting wants
to focus on New York and the World Trade Center. Okay,
(08:07):
I see, Yeah, this is again part of the like
we're we're talking about tomorrow's episode. It seems like what
they're what they really need to get the base behind
is that January six was an absolute nothing burger and
everything the election was stolen. Okay, yeah, I mean they
wanted to hang Mike Pence, right, that was a know
(08:28):
you miss Okay, stop Jack, You and the liberal media
have to stop. They say, we want to hang with
Mike Pence. Okay, when I hang with Mike Pence, I
mean he does seem like a very cool guy to
hang with, So yeah, I can understand. I can understand
the urgency behind that request. You should see him. Do
you do this staying called double barreling world, He'll take
(08:49):
two fucking claws and just shotgun him too at once. Dude.
That's how sick Mike Pence is. That's why we want
to hang with Mike Pence. I haven't drank in so long.
I've how you're talking about bear clause. I was like, ah,
sick man, I love donuts. Just a couple of bear
clause too. At a time, Chris Farley and Tommy all right,
(09:13):
let's take a quick break and we'll come back. And
we're back and Ben Simmons trade talks are underway. You know,
some people have been critical of the fact that the
(09:34):
seventies six Ers after they lost to the Hawks, were
immediately like the coach was like, I was Ben's fault,
not my fault. Don't look at me. It was Ben Ben.
I don't know you've seen this guy, dude. Joel embiid
Joel Embid was like, yeah, if I had to pinpoint
the part where we lost it, it would be one
of the things Ben did. Who that was that was
(09:56):
supposed to be like his roommate. They were supposedly like buddies,
like made friends this offseason and that's how the team
like came together. They were just like, nah, funk that
throw him under the bus. Under the bus he goes,
which is uh not only mean, uh, it's also and
like not not a good thing to show to people
(10:19):
who prospective teammates. It's also a h it's bad for
market value because you're trying to, like, if that's what
you're thinking, you're trying to trade him and get the
most back for him, and you're just like showing your
hand that like if this dude's on our team next year,
(10:40):
it's not good, which gives the team you're trying to
trade him to leverage. It feels like a Tim Robinson sketch.
And he's like, let me tell you about Ben Simmons.
He's a real piece of ship. You don't want him
on your team. We want a max contract. Well, huh,
(11:00):
you're heard a piece of ship. He's not gonna win anything. Um. Yeah,
that was literally Doc was like somebody asked him, do
you think could you ever see a team winning in
championship that where Ben Simmons is on the team. He's like,
I don't know. I don't know. It's like, what even
if he's on the team, like it's a sixth man,
(11:21):
you can't see it. But I have also heard that
gms around the league are higher on Ben Simmons than
the general public. Is it makes sense. I mean, he's
great defender if you put him in the right situation
in a in a team where he plays the five
and also brings the ball up the court like in
(11:42):
his surrounded by shooters could be very interesting. Uh. One
of my favorite runs in the time that I was
a Sixers fan was when he was like a rookie
essentially when he won the Rookie of the Year and
and Bead was out for like twenty five games. Uh,
and as Marquel Fault broke his face because he was
(12:02):
just so awkward out there, and uh, Simmons was just
running point, was the number one option on the team,
and they won twenty games in a row. It was
like real fun. Everything was flowing through him. He was
just like playing at the top of his game like that.
That would be cool to see. I would I would
want I would root for him. I'm going to root
(12:23):
for him where ever he goes. Uh. Just because I
appreciate people who have weird, fucked up shots, because I
had a weird, funked up shot. I mean anything, just
just I mean, don't say stuff like that about Ben.
Like also, like you have some responsibility to sir as
the coach who fails to make adjustments, but like it's
(12:44):
more of a doc issue. Has a Ben Simmons issue,
Like I, it's the that's going to follow them because
he doesn't make adjustments Like I guess they could hire
a good assistant, but I don't know. Anyways, Shout out
to Darryl Morey, who now has to trade Ben Simmons
(13:04):
and get as much value as he possibly can. I
think there's hopes in Sixers Nation, as there are in
Lakers Nation, as there are for literally every team and
in the n B A uh, that Damian Lillard will
somehow come to their team. I don't I don't know
(13:27):
what version of reality a Simmons Lillard trade makes sense,
but maybe I don't know. We'll see. Yeah, I think it.
It's it's probably gonna be some weird merry go around version.
I don't know if it's one for one, but that
would be fun. That would be Lillard and and Beat
would be fun. Uh, alright, Lebron, that would be something.
(13:49):
I mean, too many els, I don't like it. Too
many els on the on the recorderd Lebron for the
rest of the league. Uh, I mean Lillard, Lebron and
Davis would be Uh would be a formidable high cholesterol.
(14:14):
I think you kind of need something like that to happen,
because I think the Nets, assuming everybody is healthy at
the same time, at some point, are going to be
a fucking super team in the next like three or
four years. Olivia Rodrigo Uh pop star. Um, she's that
(14:37):
probably the pop star I've heard the most about, with
having only heard one of her songs since Billie Eilish. Um,
since that Billie eilash guy. Uh. And yeah she but
she seems to be doing cool stuff. She's gonna help
with the vaccine campaign. Yeah. I mean it's you know,
(15:00):
with vaccination raids being all over the place like they are,
I get that this like quite literally, like all hands
on deck approach would be like, fuck it, get Olivia Rodrigo, Uh,
the dude who was along boarding to Dreams, drinking Cranberry
juice and j Cole uh together to try and get
(15:20):
as many people vaccinated. But yeah, I mean their hope
is with her, you know, her social cash with the
young people. Um, maybe she can encourage better vaccination rates
with all of the children and all the young people.
Now that we are looking more and more at a
situation where these huge pockets of unvaccinated people are you know,
(15:42):
causing a lot of a lot of trouble medically and
obviously financially down the road, because if things get really
out of control could lead to more, you know, the
return of the lockdowns. Um. But yeah, um is they
age cut off right now? In America? I think it's like,
I aren't they proving it up to twelve or something
right now? Oh? Are they? Wow? Yeah? And she's she's
(16:05):
got to be twelve, right Olivia Rodrigo, I gotta be UM.
England did ah COVID campaign that was received very well
with Elton John and Michael Caine Michael Caine. UM. Singapore
had one with like a popular sitcom star UM. France
(16:26):
has one uh those very predictably French where uh the
message was basically get vaccinated and you can fuck strangers
in the back of a car UM, which is yeah. Australia,
on the other hand, went with the UM the nineties
(16:48):
UH and early two thousand's us uh anti drug p
s a strategy where they just like trying to scare
the ship out of you. Um oh like the Montana methods.
Yeah that we're just like you want to funk around
and you're like yeah, or the kid who like deflates
(17:09):
because she smoked weed. Um oh yeah, that was my cousin.
So so the Australia one just like shows a young
woman like struggling to breathe while on a ventilator. Uh
and like it's just real, like she can't breathe. It's
very compelling performance of of that and of desperation and
(17:31):
of the feeling of suffocating and she people are like, okay, no,
we we get that. It's bad. That's not that's not
the thing, right um so, And apparently like fear based
campaigns generally don't don't work that well. They don't huh.
I was mainlining those anti drugs as look at me now.
(17:56):
And apparently some experts have claimed that using our tactics
just stresses people out more because people are already stressed
out um by the fact that they're living in a
global pandemic. Uh. Just making their lives more stressful just
makes them more likely to do things like, um, you know,
(18:16):
drink and smoke and do things that are bad for
their health. Um So, anyways, but I have a new
favorite poet that is our final trending subject. Elon Musk
wrote a high coup um about how we gotta stop
making people scared of space or some ship. Let me,
(18:39):
let me find this fucking thing. This guy is the worst. Okay,
give it to me baby. Here it is those who
attack space maybe don't realize that space represents hope for
so many people. I don't know is that he wrote
it with like the line breaks of poet tree. It's
(19:01):
can be auic. I don't know, man, but he did
write it like poetry right, like I'm not making that up. Yes, yeah,
Like it looks like Stanzas for sure, like in like
liar line for line. So he thinks that when people
are annoyed that he is spending billions of dollars trying
(19:24):
to go to space, that they're they're mad at space
and not mad and him for hoarding grotesque amounts of wealth, uh,
not paying taxes and being a shitty citizen of the planet.
That's been a big um push I've seen like from
(19:46):
these like billionaire adjacent like boot liquors who like will
comment because there have been people are like, wow, this
seems like a really good ad for a wealth tax
when you have people just being like going to space,
um and other people like just so you know, like
some of These people were early givers to like vaccine
research and like space, even though like it may think
like they're trying to escape, like it is something that's useful. No,
(20:10):
shut up, We have agencies for that. They need to
be funded, and if people paid their fucking taxes, places
like NASA wouldn't be in the shape that they're in.
Um and so miss me with your five seven five
sixik classic lasakhiku. Yeah you know five seven five six
Hi cou um. Alright, those are some of the things
(20:34):

it's not good, which gives the team you're trying to
trade him to leverage. It feels like a Tim Robinson sketch.
And he's like, let me tell you about Ben Simmons.
He's a real piece of ship. You don't want him
on your team. We want a max contract. Well, huh,
(11:00):
you're heard a piece of ship. He's not gonna win anything. Um. Yeah,
that was literally Doc was like somebody asked him, do
you think could you ever see a team winning in
championship that where Ben Simmons is on the team. He's like,
I don't know. I don't know. It's like, what even
if he's on the team, like it's a sixth man,
(11:21):
you can't see it. But I have also heard that
gms around the league are higher on Ben Simmons than
the general public. Is it makes sense. I mean, he's
great defender if you put him in the right situation
in a in a team where he plays the five
and also brings the ball up the court like in
(11:42):
his surrounded by shooters could be very interesting. Uh. One
of my favorite runs in the time that I was
a Sixers fan was when he was like a rookie
essentially when he won the Rookie of the Year and
and Bead was out for like twenty five games. Uh,
and as Marquel Fault broke his face because he was
(12:02):
just so awkward out there, and uh, Simmons was just
running point, was the number one option on the team,
and they won twenty games in a row. It was
like real fun. Everything was flowing through him. He was
just like playing at the top of his game like that.
That would be cool to see. I would I would
want I would root for him. I'm going to root
(12:23):
for him where ever he goes. Uh. Just because I
appreciate people who have weird, fucked up shots, because I
had a weird, funked up shot. I mean anything, just
just I mean, don't say stuff like that about Ben.
Like also, like you have some responsibility to sir as
the coach who fails to make adjustments, but like it's
(12:44):
more of a doc issue. Has a Ben Simmons issue,
Like I, it's the that's going to follow them because
he doesn't make adjustments Like I guess they could hire
a good assistant, but I don't know. Anyways, Shout out
to Darryl Morey, who now has to trade Ben Simmons
(13:04):
and get as much value as he possibly can. I
think there's hopes in Sixers Nation, as there are in
Lakers Nation, as there are for literally every team and
in the n B A uh, that Damian Lillard will
somehow come to their team. I don't I don't know
(13:27):
what version of reality a Simmons Lillard trade makes sense,
but maybe I don't know. We'll see. Yeah, I think it.
It's it's probably gonna be some weird merry go around version.
I don't know if it's one for one, but that
would be fun. That would be Lillard and and Beat
would be fun. Uh, alright, Lebron, that would be something.
(13:49):
I mean, too many els, I don't like it. Too
many els on the on the recorderd Lebron for the
rest of the league. Uh, I mean Lillard, Lebron and
Davis would be Uh would be a formidable high cholesterol.
(14:14):
I think you kind of need something like that to happen,
because I think the Nets, assuming everybody is healthy at
the same time, at some point, are going to be
a fucking super team in the next like three or
four years. Olivia Rodrigo Uh pop star. Um, she's that
(14:37):
probably the pop star I've heard the most about, with
having only heard one of her songs since Billie Eilish. Um,
since that Billie eilash guy. Uh. And yeah she but
she seems to be doing cool stuff. She's gonna help
with the vaccine campaign. Yeah. I mean it's you know,
(15:00):
with vaccination raids being all over the place like they are,
I get that this like quite literally, like all hands
on deck approach would be like, fuck it, get Olivia Rodrigo, Uh,
the dude who was along boarding to Dreams, drinking Cranberry
juice and j Cole uh together to try and get
(15:20):
as many people vaccinated. But yeah, I mean their hope
is with her, you know, her social cash with the
young people. Um, maybe she can encourage better vaccination rates
with all of the children and all the young people.
Now that we are looking more and more at a
situation where these huge pockets of unvaccinated people are you know,
(15:42):
causing a lot of a lot of trouble medically and
obviously financially down the road, because if things get really
out of control could lead to more, you know, the
return of the lockdowns. Um. But yeah, um is they
age cut off right now? In America? I think it's like,
I aren't they proving it up to twelve or something
right now? Oh? Are they? Wow? Yeah? And she's she's
(16:05):
got to be twelve, right Olivia Rodrigo, I gotta be UM.
England did ah COVID campaign that was received very well
with Elton John and Michael Caine Michael Caine. UM. Singapore
had one with like a popular sitcom star UM. France
(16:26):
has one uh those very predictably French where uh the
message was basically get vaccinated and you can fuck strangers
in the back of a car UM, which is yeah. Australia,
on the other hand, went with the UM the nineties
(16:48):
UH and early two thousand's us uh anti drug p
s a strategy where they just like trying to scare
the ship out of you. Um oh like the Montana methods.
Yeah that we're just like you want to funk around
and you're like yeah, or the kid who like deflates
(17:09):
because she smoked weed. Um oh yeah, that was my cousin.
So so the Australia one just like shows a young
woman like struggling to breathe while on a ventilator. Uh
and like it's just real, like she can't breathe. It's
very compelling performance of of that and of desperation and
(17:31):
of the feeling of suffocating and she people are like, okay, no,
we we get that. It's bad. That's not that's not
the thing, right um so, And apparently like fear based
campaigns generally don't don't work that well. They don't huh.
I was mainlining those anti drugs as look at me now.
(17:56):
And apparently some experts have claimed that using our tactics
just stresses people out more because people are already stressed
out um by the fact that they're living in a
global pandemic. Uh. Just making their lives more stressful just
makes them more likely to do things like, um, you know,
(18:16):
drink and smoke and do things that are bad for
their health. Um So, anyways, but I have a new
favorite poet that is our final trending subject. Elon Musk
wrote a high coup um about how we gotta stop
making people scared of space or some ship. Let me,
(18:39):
let me find this fucking thing. This guy is the worst. Okay,
give it to me baby. Here it is those who
attack space maybe don't realize that space represents hope for
so many people. I don't know is that he wrote
it with like the line breaks of poet tree. It's
(19:01):
can be auic. I don't know, man, but he did
write it like poetry right, like I'm not making that up. Yes, yeah,
Like it looks like Stanzas for sure, like in like
liar line for line. So he thinks that when people
are annoyed that he is spending billions of dollars trying
(19:24):
to go to space, that they're they're mad at space
and not mad and him for hoarding grotesque amounts of wealth, uh,
not paying taxes and being a shitty citizen of the planet.
That's been a big um push I've seen like from
(19:46):
these like billionaire adjacent like boot liquors who like will
comment because there have been people are like, wow, this
seems like a really good ad for a wealth tax
when you have people just being like going to space,
um and other people like just so you know, like
some of These people were early givers to like vaccine
research and like space, even though like it may think
like they're trying to escape, like it is something that's useful. No,
(20:10):
shut up, We have agencies for that. They need to
be funded, and if people paid their fucking taxes, places
like NASA wouldn't be in the shape that they're in.
Um and so miss me with your five seven five
sixik classic lasakhiku. Yeah you know five seven five six
Hi cou um. Alright, those are some of the things
(20:34):
that are trending on this Tuesday afternoon. We are back
tomorrow 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 white supremacy. We'll talk
to you all tomorrow. I
