Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of I
Want to Trend Me Dah. That one courtesy of Vanadium
Silver on their discord, in reference to the Irish phrase Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
If you don't know, just start from episode one of
this show.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Go ahead, got it? There's so much lore.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
However, many thousands of episodes are start there. We can't
keep catching everyone.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I feel like I've seen people in the discord be
like I got behind a little bit. So I've been
like making my way through.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh yeah, when people do that, I'm like you, that's debt.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
There's more dedication.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Salute to the troops.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Well, my name is Jack O'Brien for those who are
not going about it that way and are just finding
us for the first time. And that over there is
my co host, mister Miles Gras.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Oh god, I mean just a little bit about myself.
I grew up in the San Fernando Valley. I love
Arsenal Football Club. I love ninety de Fiance, I love
the Lakers. I love food, water, oxygen, sleep, food.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, kind of crazy island.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I'm in my food era. I'm in my food era.
What can I say?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Food? All right? Well, speaking of the food era, somebody
was eating last night. A Frenchman by the name of
Big twenty four hours for the NBA in both both directions.
The direction Yeah yeah, I mean, we're not a sports podcast,
but that we do cover stories that break through and test.
(01:35):
I feel like this this is like it tested the
bounds of the like reality, what do you mean the
Wemby game. The Wemby game was just like the game
of basketball has been perfect. We can all go home now, yeah,
right right, It's like this is actually what you need
to look like to compete in this new era of
what basketball the future of basketball that Victor Yama has
(01:58):
brought on us. For people who don't know who Victor
woman got. He's a seven to four basketball player from
France who twenty one years old. Twenty one years old,
moves like a guard, handles like a guard, shoots like
a guard, a guard, being the person you know the
smaller guys who play outside, and is seven foot four
and block shots like a seven foot four person, like
(02:19):
one of the best shot blockers in the history of
the league. He got drafted first two years ago. Has
had these flashes of like, oh man, this could be
really crazy if he like ever just like puts it together.
And so the NBA had their season openers over the
past forty eight hours and he uh has put it
(02:40):
all together. He yeah, It's like it was bizarre and
how good he was.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
It's this is like the thing I remember when he
first The excitement when he played in France was like this,
this giant freak can shoot the three and dribble the ball,
and then everyone's like, we'll see what happens. We'll see
what happens. He was clearly like he's been taking the
those first two seasons to build his skill set, to
build his unders like his understanding of his own body
and how to develop it. And now we're seeing him
(03:07):
like play at a forty points he scored.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Fifteen rebounds, seventy something true shooting percentage, getting fouled, and
like making the bucket. So like any any questions about
like he's not strong enough.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Bro, he was shooting over a d like Ad was
Muggsy bogus.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Ad, who is like traditionally one of the best defenders
in the NBA, Anthony Davis seven footer shot blocking specialist.
And it just looked, it truly looked like me playing
on my you know, eight foot rim with just you know,
against imaginary defender, you know what I mean. It's just
(03:47):
like people weren't there.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
He just said, he said he's so big, He's like
he's shooting over the top. At that point, you just
pray he misses.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
That's right, yeah, shooting over the top. Jason Gallagher on
Twitter tweeted, every time I watch wemby play and it's
a screencap from Friendship where Tim Robinson says, what the
fuck kind of.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Guy is that?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
That's like, truly, I think that sums it up. It's
just like your brain is like, what is the fuck
is happening?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
This is such a great time for sports. You have
shohe at the Dodgers. You have to beyond the spurs
where you're like these you shouldn't have all of these
skill sets simultaneously, but they do.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
For the second time in one week, we're seeing, uh,
the death of American exceptionalism and just like the globalization
of sports coming home to roost, I get like, yeah,
showing us how we were basically witnessing up to this
point in history, like watching you know, the NBA or
(04:48):
Major League Baseball and being like these are the world champions. No,
we were witnessing a regional sports league prior right exactly,
And now that everyone on every continent can hooper play
baseball or like has that opportunity, we can take the
ceiling off our expectations and as we do, like watching
(05:09):
what they're able to do will look like an optical illusion,
Like it's like they my brain cannot make sense of it.
It's very very strange.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yes, every year that idea, like the American All Stars
versus World All Stars and an All Stars one. Yeah,
it gets to the point where, like, do the Americans
get the shit kicked out of them? Pretty soon?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
That was a good idea for like the past three years,
and I think from this point forward it's going to
be less and less of a good idea.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
It's gonna be bad. It's gonna be bad for the brand.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I don't know, though, I guess Joel Embiid is no
longer in that conversation. So they lost one because he
looked reeky out there. My Philadelphia seventy six ers did
pull off a come from behind victory behind the play
of a rookie who scored the most points in his
NBA debut game. VJ Edgecomb put up thirty four in
(06:03):
his first game in the NBA and look like d
Wade out there.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah. So, and for those of you who don't like sports,
just this is now a thing you can say when
someone is talking sports by going man, wemby huh. Just
say that and they're gonna be.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Like, oh right.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
You're gonna get a raise or preferential treatment. But here
we we give you the globalization of sports thing. That's
an that's a good take. That's a good take, all
the take that both. Take that to a dinner party
like young people, and I feel like old people will
agree with No, yeah, the old head the old heads
will be like, nah, he sucks compared to you ever
see George Miken but George Gervin anyways. Also, so, somebody
(06:45):
pointed out that you could see a tweet this morning
that said the NBA is in trouble and not know
whether it was referring to the ascendancy of Victor Webbi
Yama or the fact that the FBI did like they
treated it like it was a they were taking down
a crime syndicate.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
They arrested like I think over at dawn to arrest
one NBA coach, an NBA player who was in his hotel,
like at a you know, his team had an away
game in Orlando, so they arrested him at his hotel,
Terry Rozier, and it's an investigation into gambling. Terry Rozier,
(07:31):
the player was supposedly, you know, part of some bets,
giving inside information on his own performance, basically telling people like, hey,
I'm going to exit the game in the second quarter.
I plan to get injured at that point, so you can, like,
you know, bet the under on my points or what
(07:52):
you know what I mean, and so not great. I'd
prefer he was betting on himself to be like, hey,
just so you know, I'm about to go off tonight.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
So but who does you know it's easier to be like,
I'm gonna suck shit animal plenty of this bet. That's right,
there's a little more skilled to go off and than
back yourself like that.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
And then two NBA coaches, one NBA head coach Chauncey
Billups mister big shot. He apparently, so this is why
it's a little weird that they did this, like it
was part of one criminal operation. He's involved in a
separate allegation that says he was part of a rigged
(08:34):
poker game that has like mob connections and look gambling
on cards in the NBA. No, nobody's uh, nobody's surprised
about that. That's something that is long. You know. Team
plane disagreements over card games have long been like a
thing that everyone's like, Oh, you want to know why.
(08:55):
You want to know why he stopped playing. They had
to trade him away. He owed the best player like
one hundred thousand dollars and wouldn't pay him, and they
kept fighting on the team plane. Anyways, Allegedly Chauncey Billups
and Damon Jones were involved in a illegal card game
(09:16):
that so I was like, okay, like that's.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I saw the headline.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I was like, yeah, I saw the headline. Well what
did they do? All right? So here here are some
of the things that were allegedly involved in the in
this card game. X ray machines built into tables to
read face down cards, love it, contact lenses, slash glasses
that read pre marked cards. Oh, secret cameras in card
(09:40):
trays like you're watching the World Series of Poker, you
know what I mean? Give them an award.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I like that kind of hardware and infrastructure, Okay, that is.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
What like if you gave me an unlimited budget and
were like, how how can you make money as a
twelve year old? Like that's what you know what I mean? Like,
that's yeah, how this is like, let's do an Austin
Powers like that. By the way, the Extreme Machine the
table time I've had to evoke Austin Powers in two days.
Yesterday we found out that Michelle Yao's first husband, Oh
(10:13):
Michelle yoh yeah, yeah yeah, Michelle Yeo's first husband was
somebody named Dixon Poon. Yeah yeah, And we're like that
a luxury goods magnate. And I was like, that name
only makes sense in the Austin Power like not even
in the James Bond universe.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
That's the awest Austin Powers ker exactly, dicks In Poon.
Here's the thing with this one. I'm I'm like, oh shit,
they got what what did Chauncey Millips do and Rosier do?
And then I'm like, hold on, They're like they were
involved in an illegal card game. I'm like, uh, hello,
at FBI, are you looking for like real crimes to
(10:49):
go after because you're not doing it anywhere else? But
I'm I must, let me just see what was black
men you've arrested, okay for things, And I'm not saying
that whatever is a mob connected card game? Sure there's
I'm sure there's illegality there, but like, are we for
real right now with what's happening here and what the
(11:09):
FBI is not looking into, not doing the open corruption
everywhere else? This feels like it just stinks of just
like a U P. I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That's crazy, all black men being targeted, aimed at getting
garnering headlines. I also have to think, all right, one
of these like Trump officials got taken in this card game,
like no, you know, cash Hotel was like he's like,
(11:39):
you know what cards are too good?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah. Chauncey Billets kept laughing at me when I was
he said, I didn't want to smoke a cigar. Right,
whatever it is, who fucking knows. But I mean, like, again,
what are we what are we doing? What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
There's a there's a clip of like one of the
Yes shows this morning where they're like talking about this
story the guys.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Like up on the screen cap or they're talking about
the betting being out of control.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, the betting being out of control and it's at
the bottom there's scrolling by ESPN Bet. It's like showing
the lines and shit. And I mean the guy, to
his credit, is like, you know, saying like, and I
know there's probably some questions from you guys because we're,
you know, a place that talks a lot about gambling
(12:27):
and acknowledges, you know, the fun of legal gambling. And
then the ESPN BET thing just like links out and
it like they turned it off as as he acknowledged it.
Maybe a few seconds too late. Yeah, but anyways, Yeah,
it is you know, so many the gambling industry and
(12:48):
now I mean you could view it as like this
being legal gambling, being like all right, now we're getting
the illegal shit off the off the streets so that
more people that just leave.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Such a distraction from everything.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, it's bad. Uh all right, hey, speaking of distraction, Miles, Yeah,
you hear about this fentanyl stuff. Yeah, man, I thank
god they're getting that stuff out of the ocean, because
on the ocean. I'm dude, there's fenty in the ocean.
I think I see in the ocean. I started feigning
like one of those cops in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Oh man, I put my feet ocean. They went numb
and then fell off because of all the fentanyl in
the water.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
So, I mean, I had just done fentanyl, but I
think it was the ocean.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Kidding the ocean. I think it's a salt.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Water the ocean.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yeah, but again, you know with all the illegal war
crimes going on in the oceans where the United States
is just unilaterally killing innocent people with just allegations, no.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Allegations of things that aren't like capital offenses, that would
know any like even if they were able to prove
the thing that they claim the people are guilty of,
it would still be a war crime to kill.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Well, what if I said the drugs were really bad
on that boat, Like what lake cocaine? Ah, okay, what
if it was fentanyl? What if I said fentanyl was
a weapon of mass destruction? Then is it okay to
blow up the boats?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Because I think I'm really arguing because yeah, I saw
this headline that it's saying they're trying to classify fentanyl
as a WMD. Are they arguing that like it's going
to be used as such or is it like metaphorically
like could do the same damage?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Well, this is okay, So Tom Holman, the drunken alley cat,
who is the pretend borders are or sadly the actual
borders are. He was at this like Future of Defense Summit,
Axios's Future of Defense Summit and said that this reclassification
would quote at least be a discussion. He basically said,
(14:52):
there was a security briefing that like discussed classifying. But
the fentanyl is potentially a weapon of mass destruction, he said,
quote when I left that briefing, it was my understanding
that they would push that recommendation up to the secretary.
But I've been out of it ever since.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Did he touch fentanyl? Why has he been out of
it ever since? Oh? He met like out of the loop.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Maybe who knows, I mean, looking at him, he might
have actually just been like, and I touched a pilot
fen D and I fucking want.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Touched something that had fentanyl written on it, and a
lot of people don't know. But that's equally even enough.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
That's enough. But again, Lauren Bobert did introduce fentanyl is
a Weapon of Mass Destruction Act earlier this year, and
that would require this whole other you know, the DHS
is Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office to do that classification,
but just the fact that it's swirling around rhetorically, I'm like,
this is it. I feel like that's the only way
(15:46):
because the entire world is like, you are killed. These
are these are acts of warrior committing as the United States.
And I think now they're like, what fuck man? Then
then I guess we got to say it, what's our
favorite way to kill a bunch of inn Brown people
say they got weapons of mass instruction and.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
They really hate testing their cocaine. It turns out Lauren
bo Burton, you know, Republicans, they're like, we shouldn't have
to do this.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
It's I can't.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
They reminded me of something the weapons like using. It's
wild that they're using the phrase weapons of mass destruction
that they used to like famously justify a war that
turns out iteration was unjustifiable. Yeah, and that the webs
(16:35):
of mass destruction didn't exist, Like you think they'd try
and do a rebrand, but they're just using again because w.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
MD is so like, immediately, anyone who remembers that terrible
era of American history, you need to do jerk off
hand motion. Yeah, all right, weapons, Yeah, go ahead? Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
They got that yellow cake, They got that yellow cake.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Sure, sure, sure, But yeah, this is again, I think
they're just they have to do anything to try and
justify what's happening, because it's clearly not enough. I mean,
at this point, they're gonna say, like, fucking you know,
Calvin and Hobbes books are going to be weapons of
mass destruction or some shit behaving.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
About the ideas that it's infecting your children with. Yeah, okay,
that stuff. He ain't alive.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
That's just a stuffed that's just a stuffed animal tiger.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
That's right. It's got his kids all whacked out. Let's uh,
let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back. We're back, and we're starting to see
some very real consequences of the government shutdown coming our way. Specifically,
(17:53):
no more SNAP benefits for hungry and starving Americans.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, this is twenty five states have begun telling participants
of the SNAP program that they won't be receiving assistance
checks in come November. So it's like states like Alabama, Arkansas, Hawaii, Indiana, California, Mississippi, Indiana,
New Jersey, medi like like fucking half the country. And
you know, I think this should be a bigger story
(18:20):
because forty two million people according to like one of
the last sort of you know, the statistics that they
were keeping for the SNAP program, and forty two million
people are going hungry fucking intentionally. Right. This isn't because.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Because they don't want those Epstein files out.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, they don't want that. They don't whatever. For every
reason for Russell Vott to continue to gut the federal
government and these kinds of government agencies. This is happening intentionally.
Forty two million people will lose their assistance to get
food intentionally.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
And it's never been good about feeding the hungry in
the first so it's not like this is one of
many you know, fallbacks that these no.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Not at all, And I'm sure Fox viewers when they
because a lot of the times, people like so much
public assistance for MAGA people is basically sort of painted
as this thing is like, well, it's only black and
brown people and non white it's like, you know, the
poor people, wink wink wink, not acknowledging that everyone needs
assistance in this country. For all the Fox viewers who
(19:27):
are probably rejoicing that it could be just people of
color that were suffered. Nearly forty percent of Snap benefits
are white, so you know that's that's gonna touch everyone's
fucking community. You've seen Governor Polis in Colorado's like been
calling on like food banks or people to just begin
donating money to food banks to make up for this
gap in coverage. You've heard from just individual business owners
(19:49):
saying like they're going to try and offer free meals
to people that lost their Snap benefits. Like it's falling
on individuals to help each other here. But again, this
is the first time resident of the United States has
intentionally stopped funding this program.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, and I think that he could continue funding it,
right even if the government stays shut there and.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
They can do two ver I mean, in the big
beautiful bill, this this was always going to be a
thing that happened. So but this is the thing also
that Democrats are trying to fight back on to be
like these other things people need, like Snap benefits, these
Obamacare subsidies, these are all things that are needed. Because
the one version is that the Republicans completely own this
and be like, yeah, I mean that was in the
(20:32):
bill we passed, and they could nuke the filibuster and
get the continuing Resolution through the Senate and open the
government back up again. But they are in this weird
position where they don't want to own the absolute horrors
that they're going to inflict on people from the big
beautiful bill and try and do this like weird song
and dance that it's like, let's take no King's rallies
(20:53):
the Democrats. It's because this other thing. No, it's them,
and they don't they They're now at the point where
like they don't want to own it so publicly, So
now millions of people are going to suffer. I just
think it's a it's a big that's a big story
that affects people in the most direct way, which is
their ability to eat food. Yeah, And I think that's why,
like I sort of put this other story right after it,
(21:14):
because there's like this, there's so much outrage over the
East wing, the East wing of the White House is
being demolished. And I get that. I get the fucking
visuals of seeing.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Just a literal metaphor, that's what they should be.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Like, I get like he's great at creating visual metaphors.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
What he's doing in the country.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
It's gaudy, Yes, it's a vector for even more corruption. Yes,
that's fucking terrible. It's an insult to the tradition of
the presidency. Sure, but this entire fucking these administrations that
he's been in have been an insult to every just
fucking all of us. Yeah, but like we are killing
people in boats for nothing, Trump is taking away benefits
from people that need support. Ice is just rounding whoever
(21:57):
the fuck up with with no explanation, Epstein files shut down.
There are so many things this is clearly an effective
distraction because it's it's obviously clear like triggered the outrage
of the pundit class in and around DC. But like,
focus on the things that we as everyday people are facing.
I don't want to read another opinion piece about someone
(22:19):
reminiscing about how magical the East Wing is and its history.
I get that, Like, I totally understand that, but like
the stakes are just so fucking high right now. It's
just I don't understand obsessing over this ballroom thing. And again,
we're it's an omni crisis. Everything's fucking on fire. But
I think forty two million people that's including children, the elderly,
(22:43):
and people with disabilities not getting food assistance is much
bigger than private property being destroyed. But again, these are
the reflexes of the United States. We see property be destroyed, like, oh,
he did that, he made the ultimate crime. He committed
the ultimate a crime in the UF. He hurt private property.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Well, it wasn't really private, so it's all right, it's
government and.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, we hate the private fundate so it's not texpayer
money and every other fucking excuse they want to come
out with. But like, I found this interesting. This was
in just like just in the news, right, people talking
about like, oh god, what's happening, Like, here's a DC
eptic quote. DC is obsessed with this ballroom. The story
makes the front pages of the Times, in the Post today.
The number of cable newsmenutes devoted to this topic have
(23:27):
been unimaginably high. At every DC drinks party, conversation turns
to demolition. It's going to dominate more of the discourse
through the day. And I've seen people on Blue Sky
on Twitter like journalists be like, this might be the
thing that's really going to get people really, you know,
to turn on Trump. Are you fucking kidding me? Yeah,
that's the fucking building got torn you think that's the
(23:50):
fucking thing, Like everyone is so unseerious man. But anyway,
and then like there are other points, like the polling's
really bad on this one, really bad, like who gives
a ship? There are dozens of other issues that are
actually a threat to our things. Bad pulling on every
there's just fucking the pullings bad everywhere. But then trying
(24:13):
to act like it's.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
The pullings bad on Gaza, but they don't mention that,
but they on this one, they're like, what are the
people think he's really stepped in at this time?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, I mean I don't know. I mean like, in
a way, this is it's because of their total lack
of awareness over how people are surviving in this country
that it allows things like Zoron's candidacy to come out
of nowhere and completely blind side the elite.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
You're like, what the fuck there?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Really? Yeah, absolute fucking ship Phil.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
We'll talk about it, we'll talk about tomorrows.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
But ship just racist fucking slop.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Anyway, people's face is changing from one end of the next.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
I mean I think it is. I don't know. Part
of me sees there is some optimism and knowing that
the people that are the architects of everyone's have no
idea what the stakes are for the people that they
are pressing. So when time comes for people to take
up for themselves, they're completely going to be not understand
what to do. I mean, obviously they'll probably I mean,
we're seeing them gear up with more militarized police. That's
(25:14):
one probable response. But like this, like, oh my god,
at every DC drinks party, Okay, you're talking about literally
maybe three thousand people in the country, right, that's like
and and I get everyone.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I mean, they're very comfortable saying it's just an eye
sore because they're you know, Nimbi's, so yeah, they're just
it's just an eye sore. That's actually why we can't
have that public housing.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Just fucking weird, man, Like you're just we're talking about
millions of people not getting food assistance. But then it's
like the ball and again, I understand the corruption. That's
really the thing they just pivot to that just talk
about how nakedly corrupt this administration is also sor and.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Now like visually evident that I don't mind that he's
like creating a live action political cartoon of what he's
actually doing to the country. Yeah, like as a favor
for the brains, the eyes and brains of people, But
it does seem like not the thing to focus on
(26:22):
at this moment.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Maybe No, No, I think there are other things that
would Like an example, right, forty two million people losing
their snap benefits.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah, those who a big one.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
You could probably get millions of people to be like,
huh on that story. Ask those forty two million people
if what they if they give a fuck about a
rose garden. M hm, but but mils huh.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Go to the drinks party and ask them if they
give a fuck about forty two million people starving exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
They're gonna be like, and you know what they say,
Oh my god, it's so terrible.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
It's so terrible. Have you tried these or deuvs?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
They're a little sight of terrible cruditae. I can't believe
they're serving crudite here? Is it nineteen ninety? I mean obviously?
Oh and then the ball room, Oh, the ball room
fucking real.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
All right, we do want to just say congratulations to
Buddy Kennedy on winning the World Series. The World Series
days start until this Friday. But this dude has already won.
Buddy Kennedy will receive a championship ring no metal matter
who wins, because he played for both of these teams. Yeah,
(27:30):
unless unless everybody gets raptured. Yeah, he played for both
of these teams this season. And there is a rule
in Major League Baseball that if you played a single
inning at the major league level for a team and
they win the World Series, you get King Ralph rules.
You're like, they need to feature this motherfucker heavily in
(27:51):
the championship parade, where parade wherever. It is great.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
My god, but what a lucky guy. The guy was
just flat like flapping around like a batkin, going from
team to team. Played for their Blue Jays, played for
the Dodgers, And I just like how he posted the
World Series like logo like with both teams, and he
just said go team because either way you're winning. Man,
what a fucking celebrating you motherfucker.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
All right, well, those are some of the things that
are trending on this Thursday, October twenty third. You're back
tomorrow morning with a whole last episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself, yeap,
get your vaccines way you still can get your flu shots.
Don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
to you all tomorrow. Bye.

Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of I
Want to Trend Me Dah. That one courtesy of Vanadium
Silver on their discord, in reference to the Irish phrase Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
If you don't know, just start from episode one of
this show.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
Go ahead, got it? There's so much lore.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
However, many thousands of episodes are start there. We can't
keep catching everyone.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I feel like I've seen people in the discord be
like I got behind a little bit. So I've been
like making my way through.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Oh yeah, when people do that, I'm like you, that's debt.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
There's more dedication.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Salute to the troops.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Well, my name is Jack O'Brien for those who are
not going about it that way and are just finding
us for the first time. And that over there is
my co host, mister Miles Gras.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Oh god, I mean just a little bit about myself.
I grew up in the San Fernando Valley. I love
Arsenal Football Club. I love ninety de Fiance, I love
the Lakers. I love food, water, oxygen, sleep, food.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, kind of crazy island.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I'm in my food era. I'm in my food era.
What can I say?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Food? All right? Well, speaking of the food era, somebody
was eating last night. A Frenchman by the name of
Big twenty four hours for the NBA in both both directions.
The direction Yeah yeah, I mean, we're not a sports podcast,
but that we do cover stories that break through and test.
(01:35):
I feel like this this is like it tested the
bounds of the like reality, what do you mean the
Wemby game. The Wemby game was just like the game
of basketball has been perfect. We can all go home now, yeah,
right right, It's like this is actually what you need
to look like to compete in this new era of
what basketball the future of basketball that Victor Yama has
(01:58):
brought on us. For people who don't know who Victor
woman got. He's a seven to four basketball player from
France who twenty one years old. Twenty one years old,
moves like a guard, handles like a guard, shoots like
a guard, a guard, being the person you know the
smaller guys who play outside, and is seven foot four
and block shots like a seven foot four person, like
(02:19):
one of the best shot blockers in the history of
the league. He got drafted first two years ago. Has
had these flashes of like, oh man, this could be
really crazy if he like ever just like puts it together.
And so the NBA had their season openers over the
past forty eight hours and he uh has put it
(02:40):
all together. He yeah, It's like it was bizarre and
how good he was.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
It's this is like the thing I remember when he
first The excitement when he played in France was like this,
this giant freak can shoot the three and dribble the ball,
and then everyone's like, we'll see what happens. We'll see
what happens. He was clearly like he's been taking the
those first two seasons to build his skill set, to
build his unders like his understanding of his own body
and how to develop it. And now we're seeing him
(03:07):
like play at a forty points he scored.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Fifteen rebounds, seventy something true shooting percentage, getting fouled, and
like making the bucket. So like any any questions about
like he's not strong enough.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Bro, he was shooting over a d like Ad was
Muggsy bogus.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Ad, who is like traditionally one of the best defenders
in the NBA, Anthony Davis seven footer shot blocking specialist.
And it just looked, it truly looked like me playing
on my you know, eight foot rim with just you know,
against imaginary defender, you know what I mean. It's just
(03:47):
like people weren't there.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
He just said, he said he's so big, He's like
he's shooting over the top. At that point, you just
pray he misses.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
That's right, yeah, shooting over the top. Jason Gallagher on
Twitter tweeted, every time I watch wemby play and it's
a screencap from Friendship where Tim Robinson says, what the
fuck kind of.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Guy is that?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
That's like, truly, I think that sums it up. It's
just like your brain is like, what is the fuck
is happening?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
This is such a great time for sports. You have
shohe at the Dodgers. You have to beyond the spurs
where you're like these you shouldn't have all of these
skill sets simultaneously, but they do.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
For the second time in one week, we're seeing, uh,
the death of American exceptionalism and just like the globalization
of sports coming home to roost, I get like, yeah,
showing us how we were basically witnessing up to this
point in history, like watching you know, the NBA or
(04:48):
Major League Baseball and being like these are the world champions. No,
we were witnessing a regional sports league prior right exactly,
And now that everyone on every continent can hooper play
baseball or like has that opportunity, we can take the
ceiling off our expectations and as we do, like watching
(05:09):
what they're able to do will look like an optical illusion,
Like it's like they my brain cannot make sense of it.
It's very very strange.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yes, every year that idea, like the American All Stars
versus World All Stars and an All Stars one. Yeah,
it gets to the point where, like, do the Americans
get the shit kicked out of them? Pretty soon?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
That was a good idea for like the past three years,
and I think from this point forward it's going to
be less and less of a good idea.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
It's gonna be bad. It's gonna be bad for the brand.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I don't know, though, I guess Joel Embiid is no
longer in that conversation. So they lost one because he
looked reeky out there. My Philadelphia seventy six ers did
pull off a come from behind victory behind the play
of a rookie who scored the most points in his
NBA debut game. VJ Edgecomb put up thirty four in
(06:03):
his first game in the NBA and look like d
Wade out there.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah. So, and for those of you who don't like sports,
just this is now a thing you can say when
someone is talking sports by going man, wemby huh. Just
say that and they're gonna be.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Like, oh right.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
You're gonna get a raise or preferential treatment. But here
we we give you the globalization of sports thing. That's
an that's a good take. That's a good take, all
the take that both. Take that to a dinner party
like young people, and I feel like old people will
agree with No, yeah, the old head the old heads
will be like, nah, he sucks compared to you ever
see George Miken but George Gervin anyways. Also, so, somebody
(06:45):
pointed out that you could see a tweet this morning
that said the NBA is in trouble and not know
whether it was referring to the ascendancy of Victor Webbi
Yama or the fact that the FBI did like they
treated it like it was a they were taking down
a crime syndicate.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
They arrested like I think over at dawn to arrest
one NBA coach, an NBA player who was in his hotel,
like at a you know, his team had an away
game in Orlando, so they arrested him at his hotel,
Terry Rozier, and it's an investigation into gambling. Terry Rozier,
(07:31):
the player was supposedly, you know, part of some bets,
giving inside information on his own performance, basically telling people like, hey,
I'm going to exit the game in the second quarter.
I plan to get injured at that point, so you can, like,
you know, bet the under on my points or what
(07:52):
you know what I mean, and so not great. I'd
prefer he was betting on himself to be like, hey,
just so you know, I'm about to go off tonight.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
So but who does you know it's easier to be like,
I'm gonna suck shit animal plenty of this bet. That's right,
there's a little more skilled to go off and than
back yourself like that.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
And then two NBA coaches, one NBA head coach Chauncey
Billups mister big shot. He apparently, so this is why
it's a little weird that they did this, like it
was part of one criminal operation. He's involved in a
separate allegation that says he was part of a rigged
(08:34):
poker game that has like mob connections and look gambling
on cards in the NBA. No, nobody's uh, nobody's surprised
about that. That's something that is long. You know. Team
plane disagreements over card games have long been like a
thing that everyone's like, Oh, you want to know why.
(08:55):
You want to know why he stopped playing. They had
to trade him away. He owed the best player like
one hundred thousand dollars and wouldn't pay him, and they
kept fighting on the team plane. Anyways, Allegedly Chauncey Billups
and Damon Jones were involved in a illegal card game
(09:16):
that so I was like, okay, like that's.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
I saw the headline.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I was like, yeah, I saw the headline. Well what
did they do? All right? So here here are some
of the things that were allegedly involved in the in
this card game. X ray machines built into tables to
read face down cards, love it, contact lenses, slash glasses
that read pre marked cards. Oh, secret cameras in card
(09:40):
trays like you're watching the World Series of Poker, you
know what I mean? Give them an award.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
I like that kind of hardware and infrastructure, Okay, that is.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
What like if you gave me an unlimited budget and
were like, how how can you make money as a
twelve year old? Like that's what you know what I mean? Like,
that's yeah, how this is like, let's do an Austin
Powers like that. By the way, the Extreme Machine the
table time I've had to evoke Austin Powers in two days.
Yesterday we found out that Michelle Yao's first husband, Oh
(10:13):
Michelle yoh yeah, yeah yeah, Michelle Yeo's first husband was
somebody named Dixon Poon. Yeah yeah, And we're like that
a luxury goods magnate. And I was like, that name
only makes sense in the Austin Power like not even
in the James Bond universe.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
That's the awest Austin Powers ker exactly, dicks In Poon.
Here's the thing with this one. I'm I'm like, oh shit,
they got what what did Chauncey Millips do and Rosier do?
And then I'm like, hold on, They're like they were
involved in an illegal card game. I'm like, uh, hello,
at FBI, are you looking for like real crimes to
(10:49):
go after because you're not doing it anywhere else? But
I'm I must, let me just see what was black
men you've arrested, okay for things, And I'm not saying
that whatever is a mob connected card game? Sure there's
I'm sure there's illegality there, but like, are we for
real right now with what's happening here and what the
(11:09):
FBI is not looking into, not doing the open corruption
everywhere else? This feels like it just stinks of just
like a U P. I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That's crazy, all black men being targeted, aimed at getting
garnering headlines. I also have to think, all right, one
of these like Trump officials got taken in this card game,
like no, you know, cash Hotel was like he's like,
(11:39):
you know what cards are too good?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah. Chauncey Billets kept laughing at me when I was
he said, I didn't want to smoke a cigar. Right,
whatever it is, who fucking knows. But I mean, like, again,
what are we what are we doing? What are we doing?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
There's a there's a clip of like one of the
Yes shows this morning where they're like talking about this
story the guys.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Like up on the screen cap or they're talking about
the betting being out of control.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Yeah, the betting being out of control and it's at
the bottom there's scrolling by ESPN Bet. It's like showing
the lines and shit. And I mean the guy, to
his credit, is like, you know, saying like, and I
know there's probably some questions from you guys because we're,
you know, a place that talks a lot about gambling
(12:27):
and acknowledges, you know, the fun of legal gambling. And
then the ESPN BET thing just like links out and
it like they turned it off as as he acknowledged it.
Maybe a few seconds too late. Yeah, but anyways, Yeah,
it is you know, so many the gambling industry and
(12:48):
now I mean you could view it as like this
being legal gambling, being like all right, now we're getting
the illegal shit off the off the streets so that
more people that just leave.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Such a distraction from everything.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Yeah, it's bad. Uh all right, hey, speaking of distraction, Miles, Yeah,
you hear about this fentanyl stuff. Yeah, man, I thank
god they're getting that stuff out of the ocean, because
on the ocean. I'm dude, there's fenty in the ocean.
I think I see in the ocean. I started feigning
like one of those cops in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Oh man, I put my feet ocean. They went numb
and then fell off because of all the fentanyl in
the water.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
So, I mean, I had just done fentanyl, but I
think it was the ocean.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Kidding the ocean. I think it's a salt.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Water the ocean.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yeah, but again, you know with all the illegal war
crimes going on in the oceans where the United States
is just unilaterally killing innocent people with just allegations, no.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Allegations of things that aren't like capital offenses, that would
know any like even if they were able to prove
the thing that they claim the people are guilty of,
it would still be a war crime to kill.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Well, what if I said the drugs were really bad
on that boat, Like what lake cocaine? Ah, okay, what
if it was fentanyl? What if I said fentanyl was
a weapon of mass destruction? Then is it okay to
blow up the boats?
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Because I think I'm really arguing because yeah, I saw
this headline that it's saying they're trying to classify fentanyl
as a WMD. Are they arguing that like it's going
to be used as such or is it like metaphorically
like could do the same damage?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Well, this is okay, So Tom Holman, the drunken alley cat,
who is the pretend borders are or sadly the actual
borders are. He was at this like Future of Defense Summit,
Axios's Future of Defense Summit and said that this reclassification
would quote at least be a discussion. He basically said,
(14:52):
there was a security briefing that like discussed classifying. But
the fentanyl is potentially a weapon of mass destruction, he said,
quote when I left that briefing, it was my understanding
that they would push that recommendation up to the secretary.
But I've been out of it ever since.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Did he touch fentanyl? Why has he been out of
it ever since? Oh? He met like out of the loop.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Maybe who knows, I mean, looking at him, he might
have actually just been like, and I touched a pilot
fen D and I fucking want.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Touched something that had fentanyl written on it, and a
lot of people don't know. But that's equally even enough.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
That's enough. But again, Lauren Bobert did introduce fentanyl is
a Weapon of Mass Destruction Act earlier this year, and
that would require this whole other you know, the DHS
is Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction Office to do that classification,
but just the fact that it's swirling around rhetorically, I'm like,
this is it. I feel like that's the only way
(15:46):
because the entire world is like, you are killed. These
are these are acts of warrior committing as the United States.
And I think now they're like, what fuck man? Then
then I guess we got to say it, what's our
favorite way to kill a bunch of inn Brown people
say they got weapons of mass instruction and.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
They really hate testing their cocaine. It turns out Lauren
bo Burton, you know, Republicans, they're like, we shouldn't have
to do this.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
It's I can't.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
They reminded me of something the weapons like using. It's
wild that they're using the phrase weapons of mass destruction
that they used to like famously justify a war that
turns out iteration was unjustifiable. Yeah, and that the webs
(16:35):
of mass destruction didn't exist, Like you think they'd try
and do a rebrand, but they're just using again because w.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
MD is so like, immediately, anyone who remembers that terrible
era of American history, you need to do jerk off
hand motion. Yeah, all right, weapons, Yeah, go ahead? Uh huh.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
They got that yellow cake, They got that yellow cake.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Sure, sure, sure, But yeah, this is again, I think
they're just they have to do anything to try and
justify what's happening, because it's clearly not enough. I mean,
at this point, they're gonna say, like, fucking you know,
Calvin and Hobbes books are going to be weapons of
mass destruction or some shit behaving.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
About the ideas that it's infecting your children with. Yeah, okay,
that stuff. He ain't alive.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
That's just a stuffed that's just a stuffed animal tiger.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
That's right. It's got his kids all whacked out. Let's uh,
let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back. We're back, and we're starting to see
some very real consequences of the government shutdown coming our way. Specifically,
(17:53):
no more SNAP benefits for hungry and starving Americans.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Yeah, this is twenty five states have begun telling participants
of the SNAP program that they won't be receiving assistance
checks in come November. So it's like states like Alabama, Arkansas, Hawaii, Indiana, California, Mississippi, Indiana,
New Jersey, medi like like fucking half the country. And
you know, I think this should be a bigger story
(18:20):
because forty two million people according to like one of
the last sort of you know, the statistics that they
were keeping for the SNAP program, and forty two million
people are going hungry fucking intentionally. Right. This isn't because.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Because they don't want those Epstein files out.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, they don't want that. They don't whatever. For every
reason for Russell Vott to continue to gut the federal
government and these kinds of government agencies. This is happening intentionally.
Forty two million people will lose their assistance to get
food intentionally.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
And it's never been good about feeding the hungry in
the first so it's not like this is one of
many you know, fallbacks that these no.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
Not at all, And I'm sure Fox viewers when they
because a lot of the times, people like so much
public assistance for MAGA people is basically sort of painted
as this thing is like, well, it's only black and
brown people and non white it's like, you know, the
poor people, wink wink wink, not acknowledging that everyone needs
assistance in this country. For all the Fox viewers who
(19:27):
are probably rejoicing that it could be just people of
color that were suffered. Nearly forty percent of Snap benefits
are white, so you know that's that's gonna touch everyone's
fucking community. You've seen Governor Polis in Colorado's like been
calling on like food banks or people to just begin
donating money to food banks to make up for this
gap in coverage. You've heard from just individual business owners
(19:49):
saying like they're going to try and offer free meals
to people that lost their Snap benefits. Like it's falling
on individuals to help each other here. But again, this
is the first time resident of the United States has
intentionally stopped funding this program.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, and I think that he could continue funding it,
right even if the government stays shut there and.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
They can do two ver I mean, in the big
beautiful bill, this this was always going to be a
thing that happened. So but this is the thing also
that Democrats are trying to fight back on to be
like these other things people need, like Snap benefits, these
Obamacare subsidies, these are all things that are needed. Because
the one version is that the Republicans completely own this
and be like, yeah, I mean that was in the
(20:32):
bill we passed, and they could nuke the filibuster and
get the continuing Resolution through the Senate and open the
government back up again. But they are in this weird
position where they don't want to own the absolute horrors
that they're going to inflict on people from the big
beautiful bill and try and do this like weird song
and dance that it's like, let's take no King's rallies
(20:53):
the Democrats. It's because this other thing. No, it's them,
and they don't they They're now at the point where
like they don't want to own it so publicly, So
now millions of people are going to suffer. I just
think it's a it's a big that's a big story
that affects people in the most direct way, which is
their ability to eat food. Yeah, And I think that's why,
like I sort of put this other story right after it,
(21:14):
because there's like this, there's so much outrage over the
East wing, the East wing of the White House is
being demolished. And I get that. I get the fucking
visuals of seeing.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Just a literal metaphor, that's what they should be.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Like, I get like he's great at creating visual metaphors.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
What he's doing in the country.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
It's gaudy, Yes, it's a vector for even more corruption. Yes,
that's fucking terrible. It's an insult to the tradition of
the presidency. Sure, but this entire fucking these administrations that
he's been in have been an insult to every just
fucking all of us. Yeah, but like we are killing
people in boats for nothing, Trump is taking away benefits
from people that need support. Ice is just rounding whoever
(21:57):
the fuck up with with no explanation, Epstein files shut down.
There are so many things this is clearly an effective
distraction because it's it's obviously clear like triggered the outrage
of the pundit class in and around DC. But like,
focus on the things that we as everyday people are facing.
I don't want to read another opinion piece about someone
(22:19):
reminiscing about how magical the East Wing is and its history.
I get that, Like, I totally understand that, but like
the stakes are just so fucking high right now. It's
just I don't understand obsessing over this ballroom thing. And again,
we're it's an omni crisis. Everything's fucking on fire. But
I think forty two million people that's including children, the elderly,
(22:43):
and people with disabilities not getting food assistance is much
bigger than private property being destroyed. But again, these are
the reflexes of the United States. We see property be destroyed, like, oh,
he did that, he made the ultimate crime. He committed
the ultimate a crime in the UF. He hurt private property.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Well, it wasn't really private, so it's all right, it's
government and.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, we hate the private fundate so it's not texpayer
money and every other fucking excuse they want to come
out with. But like, I found this interesting. This was
in just like just in the news, right, people talking
about like, oh god, what's happening, Like, here's a DC
eptic quote. DC is obsessed with this ballroom. The story
makes the front pages of the Times, in the Post today.
The number of cable newsmenutes devoted to this topic have
(23:27):
been unimaginably high. At every DC drinks party, conversation turns
to demolition. It's going to dominate more of the discourse
through the day. And I've seen people on Blue Sky
on Twitter like journalists be like, this might be the
thing that's really going to get people really, you know,
to turn on Trump. Are you fucking kidding me? Yeah,
that's the fucking building got torn you think that's the
(23:50):
fucking thing, Like everyone is so unseerious man. But anyway,
and then like there are other points, like the polling's
really bad on this one, really bad, like who gives
a ship? There are dozens of other issues that are
actually a threat to our things. Bad pulling on every
there's just fucking the pullings bad everywhere. But then trying
(24:13):
to act like it's.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
The pullings bad on Gaza, but they don't mention that,
but they on this one, they're like, what are the
people think he's really stepped in at this time?
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, I mean I don't know. I mean like, in
a way, this is it's because of their total lack
of awareness over how people are surviving in this country
that it allows things like Zoron's candidacy to come out
of nowhere and completely blind side the elite.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
You're like, what the fuck there?
Speaker 2 (24:39):
Really? Yeah, absolute fucking ship Phil.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
We'll talk about it, we'll talk about tomorrows.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
But ship just racist fucking slop.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
Anyway, people's face is changing from one end of the next.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
I mean I think it is. I don't know. Part
of me sees there is some optimism and knowing that
the people that are the architects of everyone's have no
idea what the stakes are for the people that they
are pressing. So when time comes for people to take
up for themselves, they're completely going to be not understand
what to do. I mean, obviously they'll probably I mean,
we're seeing them gear up with more militarized police. That's
(25:14):
one probable response. But like this, like, oh my god,
at every DC drinks party, Okay, you're talking about literally
maybe three thousand people in the country, right, that's like
and and I get everyone.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I mean, they're very comfortable saying it's just an eye
sore because they're you know, Nimbi's, so yeah, they're just
it's just an eye sore. That's actually why we can't
have that public housing.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Just fucking weird, man, Like you're just we're talking about
millions of people not getting food assistance. But then it's
like the ball and again, I understand the corruption. That's
really the thing they just pivot to that just talk
about how nakedly corrupt this administration is also sor and.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Now like visually evident that I don't mind that he's
like creating a live action political cartoon of what he's
actually doing to the country. Yeah, like as a favor
for the brains, the eyes and brains of people, But
it does seem like not the thing to focus on
(26:22):
at this moment.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Maybe No, No, I think there are other things that
would Like an example, right, forty two million people losing
their snap benefits.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Yeah, those who a big one.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
You could probably get millions of people to be like,
huh on that story. Ask those forty two million people
if what they if they give a fuck about a
rose garden. M hm, but but mils huh.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Go to the drinks party and ask them if they
give a fuck about forty two million people starving exactly.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
They're gonna be like, and you know what they say,
Oh my god, it's so terrible.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
It's so terrible. Have you tried these or deuvs?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
They're a little sight of terrible cruditae. I can't believe
they're serving crudite here? Is it nineteen ninety? I mean obviously?
Oh and then the ball room, Oh, the ball room
fucking real.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
All right, we do want to just say congratulations to
Buddy Kennedy on winning the World Series. The World Series
days start until this Friday. But this dude has already won.
Buddy Kennedy will receive a championship ring no metal matter
who wins, because he played for both of these teams. Yeah,
(27:30):
unless unless everybody gets raptured. Yeah, he played for both
of these teams this season. And there is a rule
in Major League Baseball that if you played a single
inning at the major league level for a team and
they win the World Series, you get King Ralph rules.
You're like, they need to feature this motherfucker heavily in
(27:51):
the championship parade, where parade wherever. It is great.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
My god, but what a lucky guy. The guy was
just flat like flapping around like a batkin, going from
team to team. Played for their Blue Jays, played for
the Dodgers, And I just like how he posted the
World Series like logo like with both teams, and he
just said go team because either way you're winning. Man,
what a fucking celebrating you motherfucker.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
All right, well, those are some of the things that
are trending on this Thursday, October twenty third. You're back
tomorrow morning with a whole last episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourself, yeap,
get your vaccines way you still can get your flu shots.
Don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
to you all tomorrow. Bye.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
