Speaker 1 (00:02):
I was looking on the weather app and she was like, oh,
the high seventies, Like this is it, we're crossing over way.
I put a sweatsuit on and walked outside in the
direct fucking sunlight and was like, like on.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Some cinner shit, like the absolute dump I was.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I'm just so fucking excited to wear winter clothing or
things that are not T shirts.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
You have the opposite of those, like snap off basketball
warm ups. There's snap on her majesty. Her majesty looks,
it turns to you two seconds later and you're already
in a sweatsuit.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
But wait, what the fuck? I came out and we're
going up to seventy tomorrow, bab. But now with the rain,
I'm like, wo the rain is nice. I needed this
little rain Jacket's alow people driving slow, the roads are empty,
and there's no leaf blowers going off. I've been barred
from buying jacket or pre fire, I was barred from
(01:01):
buying jackets because they're like my favorite, like after shoes.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I like a jacket.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I didn't have that many, but like I always wanted
like a big puffy down jacket. I didn't really have one,
and right before the fire, I bought one and now
it was gone. So now I'm like back on my shit.
And you know, bro, He's like, what if we found
out not buy them? You better not buy mores. I'm like, well,
but then I go, but I have none. She's like,
I got none, You got me.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
But if we found out you set the fire just
to buy more jackets, give yourself an excuse to buy
more jackets and shoes trying to do it. So I
just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I didn't have the courage to tell my wife that
I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
That is like some Tim Robinson. Oh fuck yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
But it starts off innocent, like I was trying to
do something like a small fire just and then it
gets totally out of it.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, exactly, Damn, babe, my jacket, part of my closet
burnt up, and then the rest of west damn. Maybe
they'll fucking find the fucker who did this. Hello the Internet,
and welcome to this weak trend edition of Guys. Yeah
(02:20):
oh horny yeah, coming from my co host mister Miles Grad. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I'm in the building and it's and it's soaking wet
because it's finally raining here in La.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It is raining La doesn't know how to act, but
I'm here for it. I always thought they drove too
slow for the rain. I was like, people in l
A Are just freak out. But then the roads are
slippery as fuck when it rains here because in that fine.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Dust that like motor oil and stuff. Yeah it's just gasoline. Yeah,
So don't be a hero out there. LA just drives slowly.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Enjoy the rain, Enjoy the increased visibility, enjoy seeing seeing
that we live next to mountains, you know, yeah, which
you can't which you can't see most of the time. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
No, it's because a little thing called smog or some shit.
But it's fine, nah, ame though it does most clean.
My name is Jack O'Brien.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
This is the episode of our show where we tell
you what was trending over the weekend. What's trending on
this Tuesday morning, long weekend off for Indigenous People's Day.
But first we like to let you get to know
us a little bit better by telling you some things
that we think is overrated and underrated. Miles, you want
(03:44):
to kick us off with something you thinks underrated? Underrated?
What did I put?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a there's a fine line
with toilet paper and water pressure, where you go from
the perfect thickness or water pressure and easily into too
thick of toilet paper or too strong of water pressure. Okay,
And I think it's just something to think about. I
(04:09):
was talking about this last week when I was in
DC off Mike because my mother in law has like,
like the I don't even know if luxurious is the
way to describe it. The thickest toilet paper I've ever
fucking used, and it was freaking me. I felt like
I was not worthy of it. It was so thick
it felt like bed sheets, yeah, yeah, comforters, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Like a down comfort, Like it's like, is there down
in this?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Okay, I didn't realize Downey changed their whole thing, but yeah,
it was so.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I don't know, like I it was jarring and I'm so.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Used to people have heard my toilet paper exploits over
the supply of shitty toilet paper.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, finally got through it.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I upgraded to like one more ply, which is still like,
you know, like I would call it journeyman toilet paper,
you know, replacement toilet paper. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, like
utility toilet paper. But this shit was like definitely like
boomer approaching retirement thickness, and it was for whatever reason,
I was like, this is actually bad.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
It's too thick and I don't like it to that end.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Also, and I'm not just complaining about my mother in
law's house at all, and it's not about it and
there's nothing to do with there. Because actually I took
a shower at another friend's place in DC. The water
pressure almost ripped my fucking skin off.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Wow. And I love you love a strong I love
a strong spray. That's something we all know about you.
You love a strong spray. You know, everybody knows why
you You sit outside of the bathroom when I go pee,
and you compliment me on the strength of my.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Cup with a cup to the door because I like it.
I like to really accentuate the sound and the acoustics.
But just like straight fire hose, shit, you're like getting
pushed yeah, yeah, yeah, I would have like Civil Rights
era flashbacks and shit, I thought a German shepherd was
gonna bite me.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I was like, you in a like athletic stance, and
it's just pushing you back again. Your feet are just
like squeaking.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Blows up on my feet just sliding, but yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It's a fine line. But again I have a conversation
with God like Lieutenant Dan and the storm scene, and yeah,
that is my promise you. I will make a Forest
Gump reference every every day.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Or even though I don't like that, this is our right. Yeah,
like Superman references and Seinfeld, you always got to catch
the Forest Gump preference in every episode.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah. We Uh, we have some water pressure issues in
our house where like the very inconsistent. Sometimes I'll be like,
all right, I gotta hop of the shower real quick
before we record, and uh, it's just like dribbling. It's
it's an old man's weak stream coming out of the shower.
(06:49):
It just like goes on and off. We've tried to
work on it. There there's like a pressure gauge like
outside of the house that you can like mess with
a little bit. So it's we we cranked that up
a little bit. Didn't really help that much with the
water pressure on the second floor. But what it did
do is like the hose on our sink, it was
(07:10):
like too much for the hose on our sink and
it like broke before. Let Jack know, what has you
got to do? Yeah. I mean I've been told that
we need to replace the pipes, like yeah, yeah, sure, sure,
probably we do.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I don't know, Maybe I'll just turn up the volume
at the main water line.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
There's just shit breaking everywhere else. Yeah, all right. My
underrated is the sea hair, which is an animal that
I took the scouts for people who don't know, I'm
the scout leader for my seven year old's cup. Scout
troop took them out to the tide pools last weekend
(07:53):
and they found a sea hair in the tide pool
which is like a I was calling it a cease
before I knew. But it's like a big lump of
like dark snot but it's got adorable little antennae like
pointing out of their little like bulbous head.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
But like, is it a MorphOS or it has like
a slug like a tubular but it's like a blobby
it's tubular ish but tubular, man, Yeah, it's it's tubular, man.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
It's as trying to be tubular, you know. It looks
like it is a sea slug that's out of shape
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But then it's got the.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Off season zion for some season zion. It's but then
the little antennae pointing out of it, popping out of
its head make it really cute. That's why they call
it the sea hair. And so I was like, we
saw a sea slug. And then one of the dads
had his little Nature book on him. He was like, actually,
that's the sea hair. And he found out they lay
(08:53):
up to eighty million eggs per capita, and then the
eggs in the larvae like are you know, basically sit
ducks for predatory animals, and so they get gobbled up.
But if they weren't, if like you know, the oceans
I don't know, got too warm and the predators were
like staying in the in the depths, and if all
those larva lived that the animals go on to double
(09:17):
and wait every ten days for three months until they're
like some of the largest gastropods on the planet. Some
can get as big as thirty one pounds. But the
book was like it was an older like nature book.
So I don't know if they I think they were
doing this hypothetically, but because they were, they were like,
not not this would ever happen. But if the predators
(09:38):
didn't eat all those eggs, these animals would basically suffocate
the ocean. They would be like, if they all lived,
they would be half the mass of the planet. Jesus.
They're just like so fucking many of them, and they
get so big so fast. So I don't know interesting less.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Like all right, you saw a sea hair and then
I'm like, they could suffer kate the suffocate the ocean.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And yeah, if we weren't just gobbling them ships up,
That's what I was doing out there. The kids were
exploring the tide polls.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Us.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Look, hey man, we've talked before. Uh, Darwin in addition
to like finding and you know, taking home different animal
species and like documenting that they like and all that,
he would taste them. He would eat them. I gotta
have a bite, baby, just driven by this guy being
(10:32):
hungry as fuck.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Was It wasn't he wasn't driven by like trying to
discover the next beef.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Right something I'm that sucks sucked. Yeah, he ate like
Galapagos turtles and ship He just ate. That's the thing
that let me alone. It was just like back there
on the whatever his boat was called, uh, just tucking
(10:59):
in for a meal after every day of discovery. Yeah,
that bagle also underage just wanted to shout out Mark Mayern.
The last episode ever of WTF dropped yesterday. I don't know,
man great run a little disappointed as the last episode
was a return to Obama, but all in all, it's
(11:24):
been cool to have somebody who is I don't know
generally as politics are in the right place, and you know,
I feel like he could he could have, like he's
a good interviewer. I feel like he could have gone
like even more into the Terry Gross lane and stopped
doing celebrities only and just doing like the most interesting
(11:44):
people in the world. But whatever, he's moving on to
his next act, which appears to be just talking shit
about right wing shithead comedians. So appreciate that. Taking Before too.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
A lot of people would always describe Maren as like
a hater because he was always coming at other successful.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Comedians for like some shit.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But in this instance, when I see that, a lot
of people like he's back to his like hater ways,
I'm like, but he has a point, like hater or not,
like this is he should be rightfully pointing out like
how far comedians have just like lost their fucking way.
And it's just wild again to see you think, like
a good comedian, right is still tethered to earth and
understands what the general experiences of every typically your audience, right,
(12:28):
Like you go to a club and regular people who
are coming in for a laugh to try and relate
to your humor. But like when you hear some of
these defenses that people have given to performing in riadd
you're like, oh, you fucking you're you've become actually too
wealthy or too comfortable or too insulated socioeconomically. Yeah, you
have no fucking clue how the rest of us are
(12:48):
talking about shit. And then you go, hey, it's a
bunch of like bill birds, like what just sack sank
demonius fucking hate or just shut the fuck up YouTube bro,
like you fucking unrest.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Only hearing one side of it, which is the side
of his like managers and people being like, this is
a lot of money and the people want it over there,
so you're Chappelle's doing it and then his he's and sorry,
was like I'll.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Give the money back, dude, that I got from the
Saudi Bro, I'll give it back. And then like I
feel like one of those like human rights. I think
maybe the human rights counselor one of those groups is like,
we are not taking Saudi money, right, like ye banks,
Like I like.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Where your heart's at, but like that's like the most backwards.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Thing is just to give us money from the people
that are perpetrating the train. Hang on to this drug
money for me, man, Sorry, dude, just hang on this
Chobo drug money.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I also like he had a big one of the
big early episodes of his was like him and Luis
c K where they like, you know, had a falling
out somewhere earlier in their career and then they like
made up. And I feel like a lesser comedian or
someone who wasn't quite as about as shit as Maren
like would have had a hard time being like, oh
(13:58):
this guy fucking sucks after that. But he just like
completely turned on him. Like I was listening to him
talk about in an interview talk about Louis c K
like ditching him at some screening and just like being like, Yeah,
that guy's fucking asshole. Oh I saw that.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, It's wild when people do like that kind of
little like not that it's little shit, but like like
those kinds of things that are subtle but you're like, oh, yeah,
you're you actually suck, bro.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
You just you're gonna bounce on somebody, right, Yeah. So
inviting him to do a screening dropped him off and
was like, yeah, so you should be good. They'll let
you in and then like left immediately, and he thought like, oh,
we were gonna have like a hang me and my friend,
you thought, and he was just like no, I just
thought you'd be a cool person to show up with. Anyways,
That's that's what we think is underrated. Yeah, on this Tuesday,
(14:45):
October fourteenth, miles, what is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Overrated? My forty one year old knee pain. I also
have another one. I'm only saying this because every time
I describe an ailment, that gang usually comes through with
some kind of tip. Might I don't know what the
fuck I'm I'm doing, stairs, bab, I feel in shape, yeah,
but then it's a certain point when I started squadding,
like when you sit on the toilet, you know how,
like if you if you're LEGI strong, you let yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Down on the toilet.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I'm having to be like wow, like lopped out because
at a certain point my knees hurt. But I still
don't have trouble going up or downstairs. I'm trying to
figure out if I have quadriceps tend tonight, is some
kind of a teller tendon issue or something. I don't
think it's a moniscus tear, but anyway, if it's just.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
A repetitive stress injury from how much you're sitting down
on the toilet, you're sitting down over could be I mean,
I mean for taking the ship. My practology says, I
got to sort it out, man. He's like I can.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
He's like, I can tell through your pants you are
sitting down way too much on the toilet.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
See it through your see it from the front maybe,
But anyway, That's what I like when a doctor said, hey, man,
you gotta sort this ship out on your own. Man,
I can't. It's between you and God. That's I like a.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Doctor who kind of treats you like a best friend
who has medical advice. Yeah, has terrible bedside matter.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
My real overrated Getting bit up by mosquitos when you
are indoors at a restaurant is probably the most infuriating,
fucked up experience for me personally.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I could have again. I was in DC with Jamel Johnson.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I don't know if Jammel has been on zeite guys,
he's been on Boosties before. He's probably been on Zeitgeist.
Really funny community. He's from DC. He was out there
at the same time. So we watched an Arsenal match
and then we went out to go get some lunch
at this spot and it wasn't like a fancy spot.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
It was like a It was like a really amazing
sandwich place, but it was.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Inside and we were getting bit the fuck up by mosquitos.
The doors were closed and we were like, what the
fuck Like we were swatting it was I looked like
that Uncle Jemima's mash liquor commercial from SNL that Tracy
Morgan in the late nineties.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Timely reference for our audience.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
But anyway, I'm swatting that shit and getting bit and
I was like, this is for whatever reason, this feels
like an absolute violation, Like to pay money to eat
indoors should be a mosquito.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Free experience, and I don't think that's asking a lot. Yeah,
this goes back to the founding father's decision to put
the nation's capital on a fucking swamp exactly. This is
on them. This is on those slavers again.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
So you had two black men getting bit up by
mosquitos in the nation's capital when they're paying for fantastic
sandwiches and.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
You're out here swatting like a teenage edge lord in
twenty eighteen. You know what I'm saying, Way better, way better,
way better. Yeah exactly, Yeah, that sucks. The mosquito. I
do feel like that's I mean, we're seeing mosquitos in
the Los Angeles area that we didn't used to, like
the spread of mosquitos and the eighties egypdi yes, bacically
(17:49):
is the species bad? All right? Uh my overrated? Is
this new? Is basically candy cigarettes but for nights we
so we uh had a school camping trip this weekend.
I'm not usually this outdoors outdoorsy, but yeah, I did
tide pools last week and then, uh, my kids school
(18:12):
does a camping trip every every year. This is our
fifth one. The entire school up through like sixth grade,
you know, goes to this one campgrounds and then the
kids just like run wild like it's an animal habitat
for feral children.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Oh like looking like Nell the jokes, It's just you're
just hearing ship like as you're going to sleep, you're
just hearing uh peat just children like getting into fights
and just fucking going going nuts.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I'm a tain mischie. Six seven was was a lot
of uh it was a lot of what I was hearing.
But one of the sort of icons of this camping
event every year is there's a the camp store at
the bottom of the hill, which is known amongst the
kids as the candy shop because they keep that it
stocked with the latest innovations in like dumb Wonka re
(19:05):
you know, it's like, yeah, yeah, where we the people
are doing. People are putting the the research, the R
and R into candy these days in a way that
I wasn't aware of, but obviously, like kids are up
on it. And so two years ago, like the big
hit was toilet candy, which is a toilet bowl with
(19:27):
like two lollipops on either side, and then in the
toilet bowl is like the dipping you know, the sour
sugar candy. You know, oh got it, got it? Like, okay,
you have the lollipop and then you dip it into
the fund. Yeah, but presumably you know, brilliantly exploiting the
skibbty ohio of it all at a time, right as
(19:50):
that's cresting, uh this year the the hit candy that
everybody's running around with as a little canister where you're
basically like spraying a stream of our candy juice in
your mouth, which huh, I don't know, I don't have
a lot of experience. It's called quick blast sour candy
(20:10):
spray because what it's called that doesn't even sound fun
quick last hour candy spray? What the fuck?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
What the fuck is this?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yeah? And it's it occur. You know, we've talked on
here about the rise of galaxy gas, the popular drug
with kids, and I'm just like, oh, this is just
candy cigarettes for nitrius. Like kids are just walking around
like firing jet streams of compressed candy gas into their mouths.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, putting your mouth on a nozzle in a consumption
context is always bad news. When it's like, what do
you drink a wind dex? What are you getting a
fucking gnawse?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
What is this?
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, that's actually really frightening to me. But now I
really yeah, I really want some actual journalists out there
to like Foya, whoever makes this candy because there's no
way that they didn't at least see mad Max Fury
Road and be like, hey, wait a second, yeah, we.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Have an idea here when our kids looking like the
dude strapped to the front of that fucking eighteen wheeler
playing guitar that.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Looks fucking sick. I mean it looks like I do
think like the fact that that is a like the
popular drug that's exploding in popularity with like young people.
I feel like it has to have come up in
the development the candy development meetings or they're probably yeah,
I mean, I'm sure all of it.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
It's always about like the delivery mechanism, right, Like it
would either be fun dip, which felt like inoson when
it was like stick this chalky tab into a powder
and lick it right, and then you had like push
up push pops and things like this, and everything was like,
how do you just kind of tweak the thing.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Chew was just chewing tobacco shred in gum form.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
You know this is interesting too because I think about how, like,
when I was in school, the thing we got really
in trouble for was fucking around with pixie sticks and
chopping it up.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Oh my god, dude, I remember fifth sorting them. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
snorting lines. I remember my.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Friend because we were like, you know, we were watching
pulp fiction, and shit, we knew about snorting, like we
saw drug snortings scenes. Yeah, so we were like, oh, one,
I remember for Halloween we were putting it out and
we fucking chopped it up with a ruler obviously just
being stupid.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
And tried a second and went and we were like, yeah,
it was probably have a similar reaction to Uma Thurman
and pulp fiction. Yeah, she sorts throng ship. Yeah, like
using two hands, trying to dig it out your nostril
or something and then you just go down. Yeah, that
was the sensation.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
And then there was Raven's Revenge that was like an
escalation on powdered candy. So I wonder if there's always
like whatever the drug thing, like whatever.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Sort of in the culture.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Sure they're just like how do we this even if
they don't know, Because I was just reading about pixie
sticks in twenty eleven, like a middle school district banned
it because they were seeing kids like mimicking drug use with.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, yeah, it's uh, what like is that like that
floy of the candy, Marry. I want to see is
that a part like a admitted strategy that they're using,
you know what I mean? Right, right right? I feel
like it has to be I feel like that it's
too it's too cynical not to be true. Who's behind this? Yeah,
(23:34):
who's behind this shit? Willie Wanka's out here giving people
everlasting gobstoppers, So poor kids have candy always, and these
motherfuckers are like, what if we can like mimic the
drug that they're about to be hooked on when they
turn into teenagers? Yeah, exactly right, Yeah, all right, Uh,
those are some things we think are overrated, underrated. We're
(23:55):
going to take a quick break and we're gonna come
back and talk about the news. We'll be right back,
And we're back. And Donald Trump has brought peace wink
wink to the Middle East in an attempt night. I
(24:18):
don't even know, like how far in advance do they
make the Nobel Peace Prize decision because he was trying
to cram he was like they were about to announce it, yeah,
and he was trying to cram a Nobel Peace Prize
worthy press hit into the media. He ended up losing
the Nobel Peace Prize that he so desperately craved. The
(24:43):
White House has officially denounced the Norwegian Nobel Committee's decision
to award the Nobel Peace Prize to some other than
Donald Trump. Maria Parina Machado, who is a Venezuelan opposition politician,
has been awarded the prize, which is also wild like
(25:03):
her politics, You're like, what is this? Oh is this person?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah she has Basically she's been like yeah, bro, Trump,
bring bring the fucking ships to Venezuela. She is one
hundred percent like a tool of Western imperialism, damn, and
was like hoarding net and Yahoo regularly.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Like it's just one of those things you're like, I
was reading a few articles. I was just sort of like,
what is this even?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
But at the end, at the end of the day,
they're giving it out to like, you know, presidents who
are also committee.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
It's not like it's not like.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
The most like the science ones are still like yo, bro,
you did that, not gonna die, not gonna front. You
really did that scientifically, This one is a little bit
like hmm okay, good for democracy, which is why she
was thanking Trump when she accepted it.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
People were like, oh, that's pretty smart of her.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
It's like, yeah, it may or may not be, but
she's also one hundred percent like Maga aligned As in
terms of like a Venezuelan politician.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
So interesting times, interesting things. Stephen Chung, who's you know,
the Trump's spiciest spokesperson, said the Nobel Committee proved they
placed politics over peace.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Man, why do they got to focus on politics when
waying whether to award this person who is a politician
for his political work. It was so weird that they
would consider, what the fuck what is that even to be?
He did sign a ceasefire deal in Egypt after Hamas
(26:38):
returned to the twenty remaining living hostages in Gaza and
Israel released to quote the News reports, two hundred and
fifty Palestinian prisoners and over one thy seven hundred detainees
from Gaza held by Israel for two years without charge.
If there was only a word other than prisoners or
detainees to describe someone who has been unlawfully abducted and
(27:02):
held against their will as leverage, reminding it rhymes with saustages,
mm hmm. Yeah, that's why I can't quite put my
finger on it. Yeah, but there. You know, he did
bring peace to the Middle East in the sense that
there was like big plastic letters like the size of
a man, each letter the size of a man that
(27:22):
said peace at the at the signing. So he brought that.
How do they know? How will they know? Yeah, that's
what this the whole point of this is.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Don't ask about, like really how durable this agreement is
or anything else.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Just know that we say peace. We're standing in front
of peace sign mission accomplished. SWISH probably goes without saying,
but as details emerge about what the plan looks like
and how it has arrived at it's dog shit, it's
it's it's bad for very specifically the Palestinian people. First
of all, nineteen doctors are still being held by Israel
(27:58):
without charge. Yeah, like the director of Gaza's Kamal Adwan
hospital has been held under harsh conditions without charge since December.
A spokesperson said, they're being tortured, they're facing violence daily.
It's just interesting that doctors are something that they're afraid
to release. Since reports from doctors on what they've witnessed
(28:20):
the violence they've witnessed from the Israeli military firsthand are
kind of one of the few types of eyewitness testimony
that we've actually seen breakthrough into the mainstream media, you know,
like the surgeons from western countries who saw children with
single bullet wounds to the head that have been targeted
by snipers. Like it seems like that is the sort
(28:42):
of thing that they're trying to avoid, And it seems
like this next phase is going to be all about Israel,
you know, covering up any horrors that they've done so far,
and then also trying to justify continued occupation.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
A strange peace plan when there is really no reckoning
with what Israel has done and is doing and continues
to do. Yeah, that's stuff that's a huge, huge spot
that I feel like should be addressed in terms of
creating some kind of healing process because if it's just
sort of like oh yeah we did that.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
And now okay, okay, you guys want to stop. Okay, cool, cool, cool, but.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
We're still gonna stick around, Like as of right now,
I mean like they've blocked like a lot of aid
coming in still because they're like, well, we didn't get
all the hostages bodies that you said we're gonna get,
so we're now we're gonna like they're already back peddling
on things.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah, and again, what is what is the process in place?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Because Trump's already said there's not He's not gonna like
you act like he didn't hear people and they're like,
what about a two state solution?
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Right? Yeah, I mean to your point, Like the guys
at Health Ministry reports forty four killed and twenty nine
injured within the past twenty four hours, Israel just basically
kept shooting Palestinians and drones striking guys in Lebanon after
the peace deal. Francesca Albine s, the U and Special
Reporter on the occupied Palestinian Territory, has condemned Israel's continued
(30:05):
killing of Palestinians, saying quote again, ceasefire, according to Israel,
equals U C s I fire. Calling it piece is
both an insult and a distraction. She's calling for justice, sanctions,
investment in boycott until occupation, apartheid and genocide are over
and every crime is accounted for. This is the uns
(30:26):
like person in charge of you know, knowing what is
happening on the ground, like one of the few people
who has access to what is happening on the ground,
But you might be shocked to find out that the
foundation of this quote unquote peace deal was put together
by real estate vultures Jared Kushner and Steve Whitkoff.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Yah.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Kushner's plan is to create a gaza riviera in which
Palestinians would be reduced to low wage service workers on
their own dispossessed land, while investors in forum regimes extract profits.
And like even just reading the account of like how
it came together, like on Friday, Kushner heard Hamas would
begin talks to release Israeli hostages, and he was like
(31:13):
in his mansion in Florida on that like man made Island,
that's where one of those which is like all billionaires live.
And so he jumped in his car, drove twenty minutes
to another mansion owned by Steve Wikoff, and they just
started like taking calls from what they call stakeholders, presumably
(31:34):
not you.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Know, not people, not people you have to live there, Yeah, yeah,
but people who want to figure out how they carved
that thing up.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
And get their piece.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Okay, cool cool, yeah, yeah, well piece piece achieved a
quote unquote but not really. I mean, I don't know
We'll see how long this continues. But real rocky start already.
Who could have seen that coming from a guy who
was just so desperate to just say I did.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Peace, I did it. Yeah, I mean Time magazine on
board is the Their cover story is his triumph with
like a low angle hero shot of Donald Trump, uh right, looking,
you know, towering, looking off at the horizon, looking as
heroic as he's capable of looking, although he clearly is
(32:23):
not loving what he sees in the mirror these days.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah, no, no, this photo, I mean, wow, the low angle,
they really caught the back lit comb over. It's it's
not you don't want to like the comb over from
the back and then you can see his wispy you
know what I mean. It's the Whisper song Halloween spider webs.
But then he posted He's like, how why would they
do this? He said, they quote.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Disappeared my hair disappeared my hair? Damn God did that?
You know what I mean? Time and God take it,
by the way.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
The fucking thing about him now saying I don't know
if I'm going to get into heaven. Yeah, I didn't
hear that about that dude. Over the weekend, he brought
he brought fucking heaven up again, but this time it's like,
I don't know if I'm I don't know if I'll
go to heaven really, and here I'll play this thing
because it's for whatever reason. This is one of the
(33:18):
more terrifying things he said, because before he's like, what's
keeping people from doing fucking evil unless it's trying to
get into heaven?
Speaker 2 (33:25):
And now he's like a man, fuck it. But this
is him being like, I don't know if I'll go
into heaven.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
I don't think there's anything gonna get me in heaven. Okay,
I really think I think I'm not maybe heaven bound.
I maybe in heaven right now as we fly an
Air Force one. I'm not sure right I'm gonna be
able to make heaven.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I don't know if I don't know if I'm heaven.
Took some kind of a piece of shit, did he like?
I don't know?
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Then he also got a little philosophically. He's like, maybe
I'm in heaven now, and I'm like, wow, yeah, perspective.
But then I'm like, I think that's Buddhist. It's reverse Buddhism. Yeah, Buddhist,
say you're in hell, now I do a reverse Buddhism
on this picture now that now that he mentions it.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah, you know, it's just like straight line from his
tie not up to the front of his face, and
it is it is hanging like some eldering Floridian cleavage.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, bro, his neck looking like Labraham Lincoln right now,
that's what I saw. But hey, projecting power, baby, I
mean it's wild because when you got a tight shirt
collar like that, it bunches up all the loose skins,
so you're gonna get some neck cleavage like that.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Yeah, it's like in the body, you know, there's the
tie knot and then there's the part of the knot
that's being like gathered and has like folds, you know,
and you're supposed to have that little and then but
that's also happening to his neck on the other side.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
You'd believe looking how wrinkled and thick the tie knot
is that it could just be an extension of his
neck skin.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Right. Yeah, it actually adds a nice bit of symmetry.
I feel like this is what he should hire us
to be like, actually, like you're you're actually looking pretty
good in this. Just keep on doing what you're doing
keep he's also his candor, uh you know, in the
case of the peace deal, like he had that meeting
(35:17):
where mariann Addelson was there and he was just like,
she's got billions of dollars and she's she's been paid.
Like it was just like so open about how influential
she is through like her money.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Yeah, which kind of he loves to do that. Yeah,
he loves to just you know, oh, they got so
much money. It's crazy, but I love it.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Meanwhile, MTG is continuing to be be the like somewhat
part time, resistant time somewhat leader that the Democrats don't
have because then tell.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
The truth that great where she's coming because she's truly
stumbled on this position accidentally. So now she's she's calling
out Republican men because she was saying Mike Johnson was
texting her all angry about how she was like, you know,
she's because she said last week, you know, the Republicans
could end the shutdown. They just got to get rid
of the philibuster and they could pass them with a
(36:16):
simple majority. They've done that already. I don't know what's
going on. If they really wanted to, and then you
can get and then I think it's for hers, like
and then we get those Epstein files. But she was
so she goes on to say, like they were having
us back and forth about ending the filibuster, and he
said we can't.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
So quote this was he said. Quote he told me
they can't do it. And it's math.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
I sent him the article about them doing it yesterday,
referring to the Senate changing its own rules.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I said, they just did it.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Whereas President Trump has a very strong, dominant style, he's not.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Weak at all. A lot of the men here in
the House are weak.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
There's a lot of weak Republican men, and they're more
afraid of strong Republican women, so they always try to
marginalize the strong Republican women that actually want to do
something and actually want to achieve. I mean you all,
that's not exactly what's going on with Republicans right now.
They've been captured and their cowardice is probably the biggest thing.
You're kind of right there, But it's I don't know
(37:10):
if they're afraid. They clearly don't respect anyone other than
white men, right is the other Yeah, that's that would
be that where you would go, you would start treading
into wolk territory, Marjorie, So you kind of left it
there at being.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Like, these guys are fucking scared. But I mean also
like infuriating that the mainstream Democrats are so bad and
like paralyzed by the forces of capital that they leave
this like obviously popular position to Marjorie, Yeah, to voice,
you know.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I mean, there are so many ways to sort of
defend your stance about shutting the government down. Obviously, a
potent one is pointing out to people, this is going
to be terrible for your healthcare costs and your ability
to be taken care of, which is I think fantastic,
and there's so many other things too. You'd be like,
you know, also like you know, it's we've seen the polling.
(38:04):
It looks like a majority of you guys are horrified
at the sight of seeing armed goons like rip people
out of their cars or inotentially crashing their cars into
people to apprehend them, or the kidnapping of children by
mask goons, or the goons trying to.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Force their way into people.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
So there's just a lot of reasons they could point
to in terms of why this shit needs to be
shut down. Because I think you can also tie a
lot of people's outrage into everything that's happening asily from
like the specifics of it, not to say, like, you know,
this is what they need or shouldn't be doing. But
there's just so many reasons why this government, like the
(38:40):
way it's operating right now, is doing everyone a disservice,
except for the people who are just trying to you know,
redistribute the wealth.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Yeah, upward, Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, Brian,
that editor makes a good point. Do we think that
Trump ever gets his neck caught in his tie? Like
as he's doing his tie, Like, do you think the
neck like he accidentally pulls his neck down through the
knot instead of the tie not? Mmm, no, I.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
I'd imagine he's got some kind of system in place.
He has like paper clip or like clips. I think
he has someone ninety percent of the way tie the
tie because he right, and then he just loops it
over his head and then tightens it.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
That's probably, that's probably right, that's my that's my theory
for him being so rich and not doing stuff on
his own. But even then, if you're like doing you know, tithing, yeah,
the thing and your neck gets like pulled into that lay. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
you got something about mary situation with the Frank. Let's
(39:43):
take a quick break, we'll come back, we'll talk about movies.
We'll be right back, and we're back, and a quick
update on the Tron Aries pro AI parable that Disney
(40:05):
put out had a cool looking trailer. Was that going
to be enough to get people to go see Jared
Leto's creepys be like a heroic AI? That's like what if?
What if? What if the bug in the system is
that he's really nice and AI just wants to do
nice things for us. Anyways, made thirty three million at
(40:27):
the box office, which is way less than people were
hoping slash expecting. It's a one hundred and eighty million
dollar production, which you know, double that for the cost
of marketing and it. Yeah, these first of all, Tron
movies never do well. They've never had like a good opening.
(40:49):
It's not like one battle after another where it's like
getting really good reviews and really good word of mouth
and is going to like leg it out and you know,
make money over the course of the next five months.
It's more one of those like front loaded Marvel movie
type things where the people who want to see it
probably went and saw it and not enough. It's not enough.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Not enough turns out well, hey, you know built uh
it's doing okay abroad yea.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
So it feels because it's like mainly like a light
show with cool music, which is what Tron has always like.
It's always a good soundtrack and like cool lights. And
so in other movie slash streaming news, m Night Shyamalan
is making a Magic eight Ball TV show. So this
(41:38):
is the Magic eight Ball was you know, is owned
by Mattel and Barbie, you know, made a billion dollars,
So why not produce an entire scripted live action TV
show about the oversized pool ball that can see the
future and a yeah, shocking twist. It's going to be
m Knight who also co created it. He said he's
(42:00):
been working on this for a couple of years. Who's in?
And then hashtag it is certain. I just wanna, I
just want. They had like a movie that they were
talking about doing for this, like in twenty twenty three.
They were working with the guy who wrote Cocaine Bear
and Blumhouse, but then Blumhouse backed out and I'm just
(42:21):
I'm having a hard time imagining this being interesting, like
you kind of already know the plot, where like with Barbie,
I think the best thing about Barbie is you couldn't
imagine a Barbie movie, Like it was like like is
that gonna be? And then that allows the creators of
the movie to just like take it in weird directions
(42:42):
and like you know, invent something interesting out of the
blue because there's not really something there, whereas this movie
like kind of rights itself, but unfortunately the movie it
writes for itself kind of sucks. Like I can already see.
Speaker 3 (42:57):
You know, the.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
A fourteen year old kid shaking it and saying come on,
come on, as something scary is approaching from outside. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you know what I mean. Yeah hazy, yeah yeah. That's
the other thing. You know, Ouji as a product, which
they've already like made the movie based on that, like
a much better version of the same thing, where it's
(43:21):
like a toy that like has magical communications from like
the beyond powers. Like the whole trick of the Magic
eight Ball is that it has a series of like
pre selected answers that are intentional. We actually got our
kids Magic eight Ball, and I was like fucking around
with it and like it's not fun because the answers
(43:43):
are intentionally vague, so get I think it's like, you know,
they seem like they can apply to people's lives, and
like it's like never getting pinned down by being wrong.
Like I was just looking through the answers today. You've
got the negative answers are don't count on it. My
reply is no. My sources say no, outlook not so
(44:07):
good and very doubtful, like it's and then and then
they have a bunch of like six non committal answers
reply hazy, try again, ask again later, better not tell
you now, cannot predict now, concentrate and ask again. Looking
this up. You pay for a psychic reading. And they're like, ah,
better not tell you now, better not, It's actually better
(44:30):
for you. Don't count on it. Yeah, like all the
negative answers belong in the non committal section. But yeah,
it just feels like it's a middle management executive being
asked to give his opinion on something and like doing
everything to like seem like they have an opinion while
(44:51):
like covering their ass. Is like what the tone of
the magic eight ball is? I I'm just I'm as
team let's all go to the movies. I'm glad this
is relegated to the bins of like streaming TV and
we're not wasting a future film on it because.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I'm not gonna I ain't gonna
fucking huff up bottle of galaxy gas to this shit, exactly.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
I do think like more and more we have, like
the streaming content is it's fine, there's like some good stuff.
I just watched the first episode of The Chair Company
and like that, that's fun that they like made a
streaming series with Tim Robinson and the makers of I
Think You Should Leave, and the director behind Friendship, Like
(45:36):
that's fun. But I just like there's not anything that
is competing with movies the way that like peak TV,
did you know? Yeah yeah. I just feel like the
longer we go where like all these corporations have like
taken the soul out of the streaming content, Like the
more and more people are just gonna be like, yeah,
(45:56):
I guess movies do still need to exist.
Speaker 4 (46:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
Yeah, it's a shame.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
I mean, because like again, this is just another example
of forcing IP down people's throats. It's like, well, no, no,
we got this whole deal for all these toys that
this company, this company makes, we gotta make something.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
With this, right, And then you get a thing that
is like a Goosebumps story, basically like an R. L.
Speaker 1 (46:18):
Steinbook for kids, like they got the magic Shut up whatever,
get out of here.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
I mean, that's that's cruel to Goosebumps. Man. Let's let's
leave Goosebumps. Sorry, man, what am I gonna do? Man,
it's fucking wild. I got a leak in my room.
I know, I'm just stop down for a second. And
every once in a while, miles of eyes just go
to the roof and I just can't know. It hurts
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
Your fucking house burns down. You try and move somewhere.
You think like, oh good, I can like not worry
about this place being a wreck. Yeah, fucking water just
shooting out from the fucking ceiling in.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
La in La anytime, first big rain of the year,
you're gonna find out that there's leaks that you do
not know about anyway. And finally, an rip to Diane
Keaton who passed away the weekend at the age of
seventy nine. You know, she's amazing and they just said
her health deteriorated like in the in the months before
(47:18):
she passed. But yeah, I don't for some reason, Like
I remember having this thought, have you ever seen the
movie The Family Stone? Isn't she in it? Yeah, she's
the matriarch. It's about the family with the last name Stone.
So that's why it's called The Family Stone. Do you
get do you get that? Firm? That's right? But all right,
(47:39):
spoilers ahead for The Family Stone. Okay, but at the
end of it, Diane Keaton's character dies, right, right, And
I remember being like, Nope, this is incorrect. Diane Keaton,
just like there's something about her that it's like I
talk about the the writer William Goldman, who you know
(48:02):
wrote Princess Bride and Butch Cassidy and The Sun Dance Kid,
And one of the movies he wrote was supposed to
be the next Jaws called Ghost in the Darkness. It's
like Jaws but lions, and it's like set in the
you know, in the distant past, and Michael Douglas is
the star. And his theory, yeah, yeah, his theory has
always been that the reason it didn't work is because
(48:25):
Michael Douglas doesn't make sense to our brains for some reason,
as existing in the past, he has to be like
in the present tense and horny, and which I think
is exactly right. Like I'm like, yeah, no, that guy
is not in the past. He's right now and he's
fucking somebody. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
I'm like, yo, this guy's time traveling. I think, yeah,
well no, no, it's set then, no, not him, Yeah,
in the future.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
By the way, Michael Keaton's real name Michael Douglas, and
so he changed it to Michael Keaton because otherwise, you know,
Michael Douglas was already out there holy shit. But like,
I'm not some massive like Diane Keaton stand but there's
something about her persona oh yeah, like doesn't make sense
to me as dying. Like I remember thinking that in
(49:10):
the movie, being like, no, sorry, you picked the wrong person.
She can't die in this movie. She can't die in
a movie. She's got a strong aura. I remember, amazing aura. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:20):
I remember being at like a restaurant she was at
and I said, look at this Diane Keaton looking mother
like it was Diane. I was like, you really, somebody's
really trying to do Diane Keat like from the back, yeah,
from the back. I was like, this person is crushing
the Diane Keaton impersonation game.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
And then I looked back, I.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
Oh shit, and all you knew was just like the
length of hair and the hat and like that's Diane Keaton. Ye,
it's fucking Diane Keat. To your point about her being
like an immortal figure, my mom and her friends they are.
They were texting all day about when she passed, like
Kobe died or some shit. Yeah, they were really.
Speaker 2 (50:00):
My mom was like, oh god, because.
Speaker 1 (50:02):
They're similar ages and I think they I think just
saw her career. They also like came up around the
same time, like just generally like as they got older,
and they're like just watching her career unfold sort of
in line with their lives.
Speaker 2 (50:16):
And yeah, they were like I can't.
Speaker 1 (50:18):
My mom was devastated by this, and I was like, damn, okay, Mom,
I mean I get it was she was great, but
I didn't realize how much of a place she actually.
Speaker 2 (50:28):
Holds in like people like my mom's heart too. She
was what is the youngest or the oldest anybody's ever
been where people refused to accept their death and just
were like, nah, they faked their death, like Tupac and Elvis,
you know where everyone's like, he's actually not dead. Mm hmmm.
I'm just wondering if we could start a rumor that
she's actually still alive. Yeah, but it feels like it's no.
(50:51):
What did Anna just texted? DiAngelo died? Oh Jesus, no
fuck pancreatic can sir. Oh my god, Oh my god, bro,
that is that's fucking awful. That is so upsetting.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
D'Angelo is one of the greatest R and B instrument
fucking singer, songwriter, guitar player this ever did everything. Holy shit,
fifty one years old. Man, Oh that's horrible man, that
fucking yeah, no for real, and I just said, this
is my Diane Keaton here, this is my D'Angelo.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
Man.
Speaker 1 (51:31):
Fucking Voodoo is the most perfect album mat that has
ever been made, ever, ever, ever, fucking damn.
Speaker 2 (51:41):
That is really am I roof leaking? What the fuck? God? Damn?
All right, all right, man, I gotta play Voodoo. Yeah,
go play Voodoo and tend to your leaking roof. I mean,
I don't even have fucking roofing skills. You don't have
roofing skills. No, let me let me get on my resume. Well,
(52:06):
we hired you for you. God damn make it till
you make it man. That's the mantra. All right. Those
are some of the things that are trending on this
Tuesday morning. We are back tomorrow with all last episode
of the show. Until then, be kind to each other,
be kind to yourselves, don't do nothing about white supremacy,
get your vaccines, get your flu shots while you still can,

I was looking on the weather app and she was like, oh,
the high seventies, Like this is it, we're crossing over way.
I put a sweatsuit on and walked outside in the
direct fucking sunlight and was like, like on.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Some cinner shit, like the absolute dump I was.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I'm just so fucking excited to wear winter clothing or
things that are not T shirts.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
You have the opposite of those, like snap off basketball
warm ups. There's snap on her majesty. Her majesty looks,
it turns to you two seconds later and you're already
in a sweatsuit.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
But wait, what the fuck? I came out and we're
going up to seventy tomorrow, bab. But now with the rain,
I'm like, wo the rain is nice. I needed this
little rain Jacket's alow people driving slow, the roads are empty,
and there's no leaf blowers going off. I've been barred
from buying jacket or pre fire, I was barred from
(01:01):
buying jackets because they're like my favorite, like after shoes.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I like a jacket.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
I didn't have that many, but like I always wanted
like a big puffy down jacket. I didn't really have one,
and right before the fire, I bought one and now
it was gone. So now I'm like back on my shit.
And you know, bro, He's like, what if we found
out not buy them? You better not buy mores. I'm like, well,
but then I go, but I have none. She's like,
I got none, You got me.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
But if we found out you set the fire just
to buy more jackets, give yourself an excuse to buy
more jackets and shoes trying to do it. So I
just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I didn't have the courage to tell my wife that
I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
That is like some Tim Robinson. Oh fuck yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
But it starts off innocent, like I was trying to
do something like a small fire just and then it
gets totally out of it.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, exactly, Damn, babe, my jacket, part of my closet
burnt up, and then the rest of west damn. Maybe
they'll fucking find the fucker who did this. Hello the Internet,
and welcome to this weak trend edition of Guys. Yeah
(02:20):
oh horny yeah, coming from my co host mister Miles Grad. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I'm in the building and it's and it's soaking wet
because it's finally raining here in La.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
It is raining La doesn't know how to act, but
I'm here for it. I always thought they drove too
slow for the rain. I was like, people in l
A Are just freak out. But then the roads are
slippery as fuck when it rains here because in that fine.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Dust that like motor oil and stuff. Yeah it's just gasoline. Yeah,
So don't be a hero out there. LA just drives slowly.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Enjoy the rain, Enjoy the increased visibility, enjoy seeing seeing
that we live next to mountains, you know, yeah, which
you can't which you can't see most of the time. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
No, it's because a little thing called smog or some shit.
But it's fine, nah, ame though it does most clean.
My name is Jack O'Brien.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
This is the episode of our show where we tell
you what was trending over the weekend. What's trending on
this Tuesday morning, long weekend off for Indigenous People's Day.
But first we like to let you get to know
us a little bit better by telling you some things
that we think is overrated and underrated. Miles, you want
(03:44):
to kick us off with something you thinks underrated? Underrated?
What did I put?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, there's a there's a fine line
with toilet paper and water pressure, where you go from
the perfect thickness or water pressure and easily into too
thick of toilet paper or too strong of water pressure. Okay,
And I think it's just something to think about. I
(04:09):
was talking about this last week when I was in
DC off Mike because my mother in law has like,
like the I don't even know if luxurious is the
way to describe it. The thickest toilet paper I've ever
fucking used, and it was freaking me. I felt like
I was not worthy of it. It was so thick
it felt like bed sheets, yeah, yeah, comforters, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Like a down comfort, Like it's like, is there down
in this?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Okay, I didn't realize Downey changed their whole thing, but yeah,
it was so.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I don't know, like I it was jarring and I'm so.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Used to people have heard my toilet paper exploits over
the supply of shitty toilet paper.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, finally got through it.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I upgraded to like one more ply, which is still like,
you know, like I would call it journeyman toilet paper,
you know, replacement toilet paper. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, like
utility toilet paper. But this shit was like definitely like
boomer approaching retirement thickness, and it was for whatever reason,
I was like, this is actually bad.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
It's too thick and I don't like it to that end.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Also, and I'm not just complaining about my mother in
law's house at all, and it's not about it and
there's nothing to do with there. Because actually I took
a shower at another friend's place in DC. The water
pressure almost ripped my fucking skin off.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Wow. And I love you love a strong I love
a strong spray. That's something we all know about you.
You love a strong spray. You know, everybody knows why
you You sit outside of the bathroom when I go pee,
and you compliment me on the strength of my.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Cup with a cup to the door because I like it.
I like to really accentuate the sound and the acoustics.
But just like straight fire hose, shit, you're like getting
pushed yeah, yeah, yeah, I would have like Civil Rights
era flashbacks and shit, I thought a German shepherd was
gonna bite me.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I was like, you in a like athletic stance, and
it's just pushing you back again. Your feet are just
like squeaking.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Blows up on my feet just sliding, but yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
It's a fine line. But again I have a conversation
with God like Lieutenant Dan and the storm scene, and yeah,
that is my promise you. I will make a Forest
Gump reference every every day.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Or even though I don't like that, this is our right. Yeah,
like Superman references and Seinfeld, you always got to catch
the Forest Gump preference in every episode.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Yeah. We Uh, we have some water pressure issues in
our house where like the very inconsistent. Sometimes I'll be like,
all right, I gotta hop of the shower real quick
before we record, and uh, it's just like dribbling. It's
it's an old man's weak stream coming out of the shower.
(06:49):
It just like goes on and off. We've tried to
work on it. There there's like a pressure gauge like
outside of the house that you can like mess with
a little bit. So it's we we cranked that up
a little bit. Didn't really help that much with the
water pressure on the second floor. But what it did
do is like the hose on our sink, it was
(07:10):
like too much for the hose on our sink and
it like broke before. Let Jack know, what has you
got to do? Yeah. I mean I've been told that
we need to replace the pipes, like yeah, yeah, sure, sure,
probably we do.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I don't know, Maybe I'll just turn up the volume
at the main water line.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
There's just shit breaking everywhere else. Yeah, all right. My
underrated is the sea hair, which is an animal that
I took the scouts for people who don't know, I'm
the scout leader for my seven year old's cup. Scout
troop took them out to the tide pools last weekend
(07:53):
and they found a sea hair in the tide pool
which is like a I was calling it a cease
before I knew. But it's like a big lump of
like dark snot but it's got adorable little antennae like
pointing out of their little like bulbous head.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
But like, is it a MorphOS or it has like
a slug like a tubular but it's like a blobby
it's tubular ish but tubular, man, Yeah, it's it's tubular, man.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
It's as trying to be tubular, you know. It looks
like it is a sea slug that's out of shape
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
But then it's got the.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Off season zion for some season zion. It's but then
the little antennae pointing out of it, popping out of
its head make it really cute. That's why they call
it the sea hair. And so I was like, we
saw a sea slug. And then one of the dads
had his little Nature book on him. He was like, actually,
that's the sea hair. And he found out they lay
(08:53):
up to eighty million eggs per capita, and then the
eggs in the larvae like are you know, basically sit
ducks for predatory animals, and so they get gobbled up.
But if they weren't, if like you know, the oceans
I don't know, got too warm and the predators were
like staying in the in the depths, and if all
those larva lived that the animals go on to double
(09:17):
and wait every ten days for three months until they're
like some of the largest gastropods on the planet. Some
can get as big as thirty one pounds. But the
book was like it was an older like nature book.
So I don't know if they I think they were
doing this hypothetically, but because they were, they were like,
not not this would ever happen. But if the predators
(09:38):
didn't eat all those eggs, these animals would basically suffocate
the ocean. They would be like, if they all lived,
they would be half the mass of the planet. Jesus.
They're just like so fucking many of them, and they
get so big so fast. So I don't know interesting less.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Like all right, you saw a sea hair and then
I'm like, they could suffer kate the suffocate the ocean.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And yeah, if we weren't just gobbling them ships up,
That's what I was doing out there. The kids were
exploring the tide polls.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Us.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Look, hey man, we've talked before. Uh, Darwin in addition
to like finding and you know, taking home different animal
species and like documenting that they like and all that,
he would taste them. He would eat them. I gotta
have a bite, baby, just driven by this guy being
(10:32):
hungry as fuck.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Was It wasn't he wasn't driven by like trying to
discover the next beef.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Right something I'm that sucks sucked. Yeah, he ate like
Galapagos turtles and ship He just ate. That's the thing
that let me alone. It was just like back there
on the whatever his boat was called, uh, just tucking
(10:59):
in for a meal after every day of discovery. Yeah,
that bagle also underage just wanted to shout out Mark Mayern.
The last episode ever of WTF dropped yesterday. I don't know,
man great run a little disappointed as the last episode
was a return to Obama, but all in all, it's
(11:24):
been cool to have somebody who is I don't know
generally as politics are in the right place, and you know,
I feel like he could he could have, like he's
a good interviewer. I feel like he could have gone
like even more into the Terry Gross lane and stopped
doing celebrities only and just doing like the most interesting
(11:44):
people in the world. But whatever, he's moving on to
his next act, which appears to be just talking shit
about right wing shithead comedians. So appreciate that. Taking Before too.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
A lot of people would always describe Maren as like
a hater because he was always coming at other successful.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Comedians for like some shit.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
But in this instance, when I see that, a lot
of people like he's back to his like hater ways,
I'm like, but he has a point, like hater or not,
like this is he should be rightfully pointing out like
how far comedians have just like lost their fucking way.
And it's just wild again to see you think, like
a good comedian, right is still tethered to earth and
understands what the general experiences of every typically your audience, right,
(12:28):
Like you go to a club and regular people who
are coming in for a laugh to try and relate
to your humor. But like when you hear some of
these defenses that people have given to performing in riadd
you're like, oh, you fucking you're you've become actually too
wealthy or too comfortable or too insulated socioeconomically. Yeah, you
have no fucking clue how the rest of us are
(12:48):
talking about shit. And then you go, hey, it's a
bunch of like bill birds, like what just sack sank
demonius fucking hate or just shut the fuck up YouTube bro,
like you fucking unrest.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Only hearing one side of it, which is the side
of his like managers and people being like, this is
a lot of money and the people want it over there,
so you're Chappelle's doing it and then his he's and sorry,
was like I'll.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Give the money back, dude, that I got from the
Saudi Bro, I'll give it back. And then like I
feel like one of those like human rights. I think
maybe the human rights counselor one of those groups is like,
we are not taking Saudi money, right, like ye banks,
Like I like.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Where your heart's at, but like that's like the most backwards.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Thing is just to give us money from the people
that are perpetrating the train. Hang on to this drug
money for me, man, Sorry, dude, just hang on this
Chobo drug money.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
I also like he had a big one of the
big early episodes of his was like him and Luis
c K where they like, you know, had a falling
out somewhere earlier in their career and then they like
made up. And I feel like a lesser comedian or
someone who wasn't quite as about as shit as Maren
like would have had a hard time being like, oh
(13:58):
this guy fucking sucks after that. But he just like
completely turned on him. Like I was listening to him
talk about in an interview talk about Louis c K
like ditching him at some screening and just like being like, Yeah,
that guy's fucking asshole. Oh I saw that.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Yeah, It's wild when people do like that kind of
little like not that it's little shit, but like like
those kinds of things that are subtle but you're like, oh, yeah,
you're you actually suck, bro.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
You just you're gonna bounce on somebody, right, Yeah. So
inviting him to do a screening dropped him off and
was like, yeah, so you should be good. They'll let
you in and then like left immediately, and he thought like, oh,
we were gonna have like a hang me and my friend,
you thought, and he was just like no, I just
thought you'd be a cool person to show up with. Anyways,
That's that's what we think is underrated. Yeah, on this Tuesday,
(14:45):
October fourteenth, miles, what is something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Overrated? My forty one year old knee pain. I also
have another one. I'm only saying this because every time
I describe an ailment, that gang usually comes through with
some kind of tip. Might I don't know what the
fuck I'm I'm doing, stairs, bab, I feel in shape, yeah,
but then it's a certain point when I started squadding,
like when you sit on the toilet, you know how,
like if you if you're LEGI strong, you let yourself.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Down on the toilet.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I'm having to be like wow, like lopped out because
at a certain point my knees hurt. But I still
don't have trouble going up or downstairs. I'm trying to
figure out if I have quadriceps tend tonight, is some
kind of a teller tendon issue or something. I don't
think it's a moniscus tear, but anyway, if it's just.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
A repetitive stress injury from how much you're sitting down
on the toilet, you're sitting down over could be I mean,
I mean for taking the ship. My practology says, I
got to sort it out, man. He's like I can.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
He's like, I can tell through your pants you are
sitting down way too much on the toilet.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
See it through your see it from the front maybe,
But anyway, That's what I like when a doctor said, hey, man,
you gotta sort this ship out on your own. Man,
I can't. It's between you and God. That's I like a.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Doctor who kind of treats you like a best friend
who has medical advice. Yeah, has terrible bedside matter.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
My real overrated Getting bit up by mosquitos when you
are indoors at a restaurant is probably the most infuriating,
fucked up experience for me personally.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I could have again. I was in DC with Jamel Johnson.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
I don't know if Jammel has been on zeite guys,
he's been on Boosties before. He's probably been on Zeitgeist.
Really funny community. He's from DC. He was out there
at the same time. So we watched an Arsenal match
and then we went out to go get some lunch
at this spot and it wasn't like a fancy spot.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
It was like a It was like a really amazing
sandwich place, but it was.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Inside and we were getting bit the fuck up by mosquitos.
The doors were closed and we were like, what the
fuck Like we were swatting it was I looked like
that Uncle Jemima's mash liquor commercial from SNL that Tracy
Morgan in the late nineties.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Timely reference for our audience.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
But anyway, I'm swatting that shit and getting bit and
I was like, this is for whatever reason, this feels
like an absolute violation, Like to pay money to eat
indoors should be a mosquito.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Free experience, and I don't think that's asking a lot. Yeah,
this goes back to the founding father's decision to put
the nation's capital on a fucking swamp exactly. This is
on them. This is on those slavers again.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
So you had two black men getting bit up by
mosquitos in the nation's capital when they're paying for fantastic
sandwiches and.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
You're out here swatting like a teenage edge lord in
twenty eighteen. You know what I'm saying, Way better, way better,
way better. Yeah exactly, Yeah, that sucks. The mosquito. I
do feel like that's I mean, we're seeing mosquitos in
the Los Angeles area that we didn't used to, like
the spread of mosquitos and the eighties egypdi yes, bacically
(17:49):
is the species bad? All right? Uh my overrated? Is
this new? Is basically candy cigarettes but for nights we
so we uh had a school camping trip this weekend.
I'm not usually this outdoors outdoorsy, but yeah, I did
tide pools last week and then, uh, my kids school
(18:12):
does a camping trip every every year. This is our
fifth one. The entire school up through like sixth grade,
you know, goes to this one campgrounds and then the
kids just like run wild like it's an animal habitat
for feral children.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
Oh like looking like Nell the jokes, It's just you're
just hearing ship like as you're going to sleep, you're
just hearing uh peat just children like getting into fights
and just fucking going going nuts.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I'm a tain mischie. Six seven was was a lot
of uh it was a lot of what I was hearing.
But one of the sort of icons of this camping
event every year is there's a the camp store at
the bottom of the hill, which is known amongst the
kids as the candy shop because they keep that it
stocked with the latest innovations in like dumb Wonka re
(19:05):
you know, it's like, yeah, yeah, where we the people
are doing. People are putting the the research, the R
and R into candy these days in a way that
I wasn't aware of, but obviously, like kids are up
on it. And so two years ago, like the big
hit was toilet candy, which is a toilet bowl with
(19:27):
like two lollipops on either side, and then in the
toilet bowl is like the dipping you know, the sour
sugar candy. You know, oh got it, got it? Like, okay,
you have the lollipop and then you dip it into
the fund. Yeah, but presumably you know, brilliantly exploiting the
skibbty ohio of it all at a time, right as
(19:50):
that's cresting, uh this year the the hit candy that
everybody's running around with as a little canister where you're
basically like spraying a stream of our candy juice in
your mouth, which huh, I don't know, I don't have
a lot of experience. It's called quick blast sour candy
(20:10):
spray because what it's called that doesn't even sound fun
quick last hour candy spray? What the fuck?
Speaker 3 (20:18):
What the fuck is this?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Yeah? And it's it occur. You know, we've talked on
here about the rise of galaxy gas, the popular drug
with kids, and I'm just like, oh, this is just
candy cigarettes for nitrius. Like kids are just walking around
like firing jet streams of compressed candy gas into their mouths.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, putting your mouth on a nozzle in a consumption
context is always bad news. When it's like, what do
you drink a wind dex? What are you getting a
fucking gnawse?
Speaker 2 (20:52):
What is this?
Speaker 4 (20:53):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Yeah, that's actually really frightening to me. But now I
really yeah, I really want some actual journalists out there
to like Foya, whoever makes this candy because there's no
way that they didn't at least see mad Max Fury
Road and be like, hey, wait a second, yeah, we.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Have an idea here when our kids looking like the
dude strapped to the front of that fucking eighteen wheeler
playing guitar that.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Looks fucking sick. I mean it looks like I do
think like the fact that that is a like the
popular drug that's exploding in popularity with like young people.
I feel like it has to have come up in
the development the candy development meetings or they're probably yeah,
I mean, I'm sure all of it.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
It's always about like the delivery mechanism, right, Like it
would either be fun dip, which felt like inoson when
it was like stick this chalky tab into a powder
and lick it right, and then you had like push
up push pops and things like this, and everything was like,
how do you just kind of tweak the thing.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Chew was just chewing tobacco shred in gum form.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
You know this is interesting too because I think about how, like,
when I was in school, the thing we got really
in trouble for was fucking around with pixie sticks and
chopping it up.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Oh my god, dude, I remember fifth sorting them. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
snorting lines. I remember my.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Friend because we were like, you know, we were watching
pulp fiction, and shit, we knew about snorting, like we
saw drug snortings scenes. Yeah, so we were like, oh, one,
I remember for Halloween we were putting it out and
we fucking chopped it up with a ruler obviously just
being stupid.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
And tried a second and went and we were like, yeah,
it was probably have a similar reaction to Uma Thurman
and pulp fiction. Yeah, she sorts throng ship. Yeah, like
using two hands, trying to dig it out your nostril
or something and then you just go down. Yeah, that
was the sensation.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
And then there was Raven's Revenge that was like an
escalation on powdered candy. So I wonder if there's always
like whatever the drug thing, like whatever.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Sort of in the culture.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Sure they're just like how do we this even if
they don't know, Because I was just reading about pixie
sticks in twenty eleven, like a middle school district banned
it because they were seeing kids like mimicking drug use with.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Yeah, yeah, it's uh, what like is that like that
floy of the candy, Marry. I want to see is
that a part like a admitted strategy that they're using,
you know what I mean? Right, right right? I feel
like it has to be I feel like that it's
too it's too cynical not to be true. Who's behind this? Yeah,
(23:34):
who's behind this shit? Willie Wanka's out here giving people
everlasting gobstoppers, So poor kids have candy always, and these
motherfuckers are like, what if we can like mimic the
drug that they're about to be hooked on when they
turn into teenagers? Yeah, exactly right, Yeah, all right, Uh,
those are some things we think are overrated, underrated. We're
(23:55):
going to take a quick break and we're gonna come
back and talk about the news. We'll be right back,
And we're back. And Donald Trump has brought peace wink
wink to the Middle East in an attempt night. I
(24:18):
don't even know, like how far in advance do they
make the Nobel Peace Prize decision because he was trying
to cram he was like they were about to announce it, yeah,
and he was trying to cram a Nobel Peace Prize
worthy press hit into the media. He ended up losing
the Nobel Peace Prize that he so desperately craved. The
(24:43):
White House has officially denounced the Norwegian Nobel Committee's decision
to award the Nobel Peace Prize to some other than
Donald Trump. Maria Parina Machado, who is a Venezuelan opposition politician,
has been awarded the prize, which is also wild like
(25:03):
her politics, You're like, what is this? Oh is this person?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah she has Basically she's been like yeah, bro, Trump,
bring bring the fucking ships to Venezuela. She is one
hundred percent like a tool of Western imperialism, damn, and
was like hoarding net and Yahoo regularly.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Like it's just one of those things you're like, I
was reading a few articles. I was just sort of like,
what is this even?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
But at the end, at the end of the day,
they're giving it out to like, you know, presidents who
are also committee.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
It's not like it's not like.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
The most like the science ones are still like yo, bro,
you did that, not gonna die, not gonna front. You
really did that scientifically, This one is a little bit
like hmm okay, good for democracy, which is why she
was thanking Trump when she accepted it.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
People were like, oh, that's pretty smart of her.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
It's like, yeah, it may or may not be, but
she's also one hundred percent like Maga aligned As in
terms of like a Venezuelan politician.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
So interesting times, interesting things. Stephen Chung, who's you know,
the Trump's spiciest spokesperson, said the Nobel Committee proved they
placed politics over peace.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Man, why do they got to focus on politics when
waying whether to award this person who is a politician
for his political work. It was so weird that they
would consider, what the fuck what is that even to be?
He did sign a ceasefire deal in Egypt after Hamas
(26:38):
returned to the twenty remaining living hostages in Gaza and
Israel released to quote the News reports, two hundred and
fifty Palestinian prisoners and over one thy seven hundred detainees
from Gaza held by Israel for two years without charge.
If there was only a word other than prisoners or
detainees to describe someone who has been unlawfully abducted and
(27:02):
held against their will as leverage, reminding it rhymes with saustages,
mm hmm. Yeah, that's why I can't quite put my
finger on it. Yeah, but there. You know, he did
bring peace to the Middle East in the sense that
there was like big plastic letters like the size of
a man, each letter the size of a man that
(27:22):
said peace at the at the signing. So he brought that.
How do they know? How will they know? Yeah, that's
what this the whole point of this is.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Don't ask about, like really how durable this agreement is
or anything else.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Just know that we say peace. We're standing in front
of peace sign mission accomplished. SWISH probably goes without saying,
but as details emerge about what the plan looks like
and how it has arrived at it's dog shit, it's
it's it's bad for very specifically the Palestinian people. First
of all, nineteen doctors are still being held by Israel
(27:58):
without charge. Yeah, like the director of Gaza's Kamal Adwan
hospital has been held under harsh conditions without charge since December.
A spokesperson said, they're being tortured, they're facing violence daily.
It's just interesting that doctors are something that they're afraid
to release. Since reports from doctors on what they've witnessed
(28:20):
the violence they've witnessed from the Israeli military firsthand are
kind of one of the few types of eyewitness testimony
that we've actually seen breakthrough into the mainstream media, you know,
like the surgeons from western countries who saw children with
single bullet wounds to the head that have been targeted
by snipers. Like it seems like that is the sort
(28:42):
of thing that they're trying to avoid, And it seems
like this next phase is going to be all about Israel,
you know, covering up any horrors that they've done so far,
and then also trying to justify continued occupation.
Speaker 1 (28:57):
A strange peace plan when there is really no reckoning
with what Israel has done and is doing and continues
to do. Yeah, that's stuff that's a huge, huge spot
that I feel like should be addressed in terms of
creating some kind of healing process because if it's just
sort of like oh yeah we did that.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
And now okay, okay, you guys want to stop. Okay, cool, cool, cool, but.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
We're still gonna stick around, Like as of right now,
I mean like they've blocked like a lot of aid
coming in still because they're like, well, we didn't get
all the hostages bodies that you said we're gonna get,
so we're now we're gonna like they're already back peddling
on things.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Yeah, and again, what is what is the process in place?
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Because Trump's already said there's not He's not gonna like
you act like he didn't hear people and they're like,
what about a two state solution?
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Right? Yeah, I mean to your point, Like the guys
at Health Ministry reports forty four killed and twenty nine
injured within the past twenty four hours, Israel just basically
kept shooting Palestinians and drones striking guys in Lebanon after
the peace deal. Francesca Albine s, the U and Special
Reporter on the occupied Palestinian Territory, has condemned Israel's continued
(30:05):
killing of Palestinians, saying quote again, ceasefire, according to Israel,
equals U C s I fire. Calling it piece is
both an insult and a distraction. She's calling for justice, sanctions,
investment in boycott until occupation, apartheid and genocide are over
and every crime is accounted for. This is the uns
(30:26):
like person in charge of you know, knowing what is
happening on the ground, like one of the few people
who has access to what is happening on the ground,
But you might be shocked to find out that the
foundation of this quote unquote peace deal was put together
by real estate vultures Jared Kushner and Steve Whitkoff.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Yah.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Kushner's plan is to create a gaza riviera in which
Palestinians would be reduced to low wage service workers on
their own dispossessed land, while investors in forum regimes extract profits.
And like even just reading the account of like how
it came together, like on Friday, Kushner heard Hamas would
begin talks to release Israeli hostages, and he was like
(31:13):
in his mansion in Florida on that like man made Island,
that's where one of those which is like all billionaires live.
And so he jumped in his car, drove twenty minutes
to another mansion owned by Steve Wikoff, and they just
started like taking calls from what they call stakeholders, presumably
(31:34):
not you.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Know, not people, not people you have to live there, Yeah, yeah,
but people who want to figure out how they carved
that thing up.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
And get their piece.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Okay, cool cool, yeah, yeah, well piece piece achieved a
quote unquote but not really. I mean, I don't know
We'll see how long this continues. But real rocky start already.
Who could have seen that coming from a guy who
was just so desperate to just say I did.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Peace, I did it. Yeah, I mean Time magazine on
board is the Their cover story is his triumph with
like a low angle hero shot of Donald Trump, uh right, looking,
you know, towering, looking off at the horizon, looking as
heroic as he's capable of looking, although he clearly is
(32:23):
not loving what he sees in the mirror these days.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Yeah, no, no, this photo, I mean, wow, the low angle,
they really caught the back lit comb over. It's it's
not you don't want to like the comb over from
the back and then you can see his wispy you
know what I mean. It's the Whisper song Halloween spider webs.
But then he posted He's like, how why would they
do this? He said, they quote.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Disappeared my hair disappeared my hair? Damn God did that?
You know what I mean? Time and God take it,
by the way.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
The fucking thing about him now saying I don't know
if I'm going to get into heaven. Yeah, I didn't
hear that about that dude. Over the weekend, he brought
he brought fucking heaven up again, but this time it's like,
I don't know if I'm I don't know if I'll
go to heaven really, and here I'll play this thing
because it's for whatever reason. This is one of the
(33:18):
more terrifying things he said, because before he's like, what's
keeping people from doing fucking evil unless it's trying to
get into heaven?
Speaker 2 (33:25):
And now he's like a man, fuck it. But this
is him being like, I don't know if I'll go
into heaven.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
I don't think there's anything gonna get me in heaven. Okay,
I really think I think I'm not maybe heaven bound.
I maybe in heaven right now as we fly an
Air Force one. I'm not sure right I'm gonna be
able to make heaven.
Speaker 2 (33:44):
I don't know if I don't know if I'm heaven.
Took some kind of a piece of shit, did he like?
I don't know?
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Then he also got a little philosophically. He's like, maybe
I'm in heaven now, and I'm like, wow, yeah, perspective.
But then I'm like, I think that's Buddhist. It's reverse Buddhism. Yeah, Buddhist,
say you're in hell, now I do a reverse Buddhism
on this picture now that now that he mentions it.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah, you know, it's just like straight line from his
tie not up to the front of his face, and
it is it is hanging like some eldering Floridian cleavage.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, bro, his neck looking like Labraham Lincoln right now,
that's what I saw. But hey, projecting power, baby, I
mean it's wild because when you got a tight shirt
collar like that, it bunches up all the loose skins,
so you're gonna get some neck cleavage like that.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Yeah, it's like in the body, you know, there's the
tie knot and then there's the part of the knot
that's being like gathered and has like folds, you know,
and you're supposed to have that little and then but
that's also happening to his neck on the other side.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
You'd believe looking how wrinkled and thick the tie knot
is that it could just be an extension of his
neck skin.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Right. Yeah, it actually adds a nice bit of symmetry.
I feel like this is what he should hire us
to be like, actually, like you're you're actually looking pretty
good in this. Just keep on doing what you're doing
keep he's also his candor, uh you know, in the
case of the peace deal, like he had that meeting
(35:17):
where mariann Addelson was there and he was just like,
she's got billions of dollars and she's she's been paid.
Like it was just like so open about how influential
she is through like her money.
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Yeah, which kind of he loves to do that. Yeah,
he loves to just you know, oh, they got so
much money. It's crazy, but I love it.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Meanwhile, MTG is continuing to be be the like somewhat
part time, resistant time somewhat leader that the Democrats don't
have because then tell.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
The truth that great where she's coming because she's truly
stumbled on this position accidentally. So now she's she's calling
out Republican men because she was saying Mike Johnson was
texting her all angry about how she was like, you know,
she's because she said last week, you know, the Republicans
could end the shutdown. They just got to get rid
of the philibuster and they could pass them with a
(36:16):
simple majority. They've done that already. I don't know what's
going on. If they really wanted to, and then you
can get and then I think it's for hers, like
and then we get those Epstein files. But she was
so she goes on to say, like they were having
us back and forth about ending the filibuster, and he
said we can't.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
So quote this was he said. Quote he told me
they can't do it. And it's math.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
I sent him the article about them doing it yesterday,
referring to the Senate changing its own rules.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I said, they just did it.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Whereas President Trump has a very strong, dominant style, he's not.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
Weak at all. A lot of the men here in
the House are weak.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
There's a lot of weak Republican men, and they're more
afraid of strong Republican women, so they always try to
marginalize the strong Republican women that actually want to do
something and actually want to achieve. I mean you all,
that's not exactly what's going on with Republicans right now.
They've been captured and their cowardice is probably the biggest thing.
You're kind of right there, But it's I don't know
(37:10):
if they're afraid. They clearly don't respect anyone other than
white men, right is the other Yeah, that's that would
be that where you would go, you would start treading
into wolk territory, Marjorie, So you kind of left it
there at being.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
Like, these guys are fucking scared. But I mean also
like infuriating that the mainstream Democrats are so bad and
like paralyzed by the forces of capital that they leave
this like obviously popular position to Marjorie, Yeah, to voice,
you know.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I mean, there are so many ways to sort of
defend your stance about shutting the government down. Obviously, a
potent one is pointing out to people, this is going
to be terrible for your healthcare costs and your ability
to be taken care of, which is I think fantastic,
and there's so many other things too. You'd be like,
you know, also like you know, it's we've seen the polling.
(38:04):
It looks like a majority of you guys are horrified
at the sight of seeing armed goons like rip people
out of their cars or inotentially crashing their cars into
people to apprehend them, or the kidnapping of children by
mask goons, or the goons trying to.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Force their way into people.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
So there's just a lot of reasons they could point
to in terms of why this shit needs to be
shut down. Because I think you can also tie a
lot of people's outrage into everything that's happening asily from
like the specifics of it, not to say, like, you know,
this is what they need or shouldn't be doing. But
there's just so many reasons why this government, like the
(38:40):
way it's operating right now, is doing everyone a disservice,
except for the people who are just trying to you know,
redistribute the wealth.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Yeah, upward, Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, Brian,
that editor makes a good point. Do we think that
Trump ever gets his neck caught in his tie? Like
as he's doing his tie, Like, do you think the
neck like he accidentally pulls his neck down through the
knot instead of the tie not? Mmm, no, I.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
I'd imagine he's got some kind of system in place.
He has like paper clip or like clips. I think
he has someone ninety percent of the way tie the
tie because he right, and then he just loops it
over his head and then tightens it.
Speaker 2 (39:23):
That's probably, that's probably right, that's my that's my theory
for him being so rich and not doing stuff on
his own. But even then, if you're like doing you know, tithing, yeah,
the thing and your neck gets like pulled into that lay. Yeah, yeah, exactly,
you got something about mary situation with the Frank. Let's
(39:43):
take a quick break, we'll come back, we'll talk about movies.
We'll be right back, and we're back, and a quick
update on the Tron Aries pro AI parable that Disney
(40:05):
put out had a cool looking trailer. Was that going
to be enough to get people to go see Jared
Leto's creepys be like a heroic AI? That's like what if?
What if? What if the bug in the system is
that he's really nice and AI just wants to do
nice things for us. Anyways, made thirty three million at
(40:27):
the box office, which is way less than people were
hoping slash expecting. It's a one hundred and eighty million
dollar production, which you know, double that for the cost
of marketing and it. Yeah, these first of all, Tron
movies never do well. They've never had like a good opening.
(40:49):
It's not like one battle after another where it's like
getting really good reviews and really good word of mouth
and is going to like leg it out and you know,
make money over the course of the next five months.
It's more one of those like front loaded Marvel movie
type things where the people who want to see it
probably went and saw it and not enough. It's not enough.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Not enough turns out well, hey, you know built uh
it's doing okay abroad yea.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
So it feels because it's like mainly like a light
show with cool music, which is what Tron has always like.
It's always a good soundtrack and like cool lights. And
so in other movie slash streaming news, m Night Shyamalan
is making a Magic eight Ball TV show. So this
(41:38):
is the Magic eight Ball was you know, is owned
by Mattel and Barbie, you know, made a billion dollars,
So why not produce an entire scripted live action TV
show about the oversized pool ball that can see the
future and a yeah, shocking twist. It's going to be
m Knight who also co created it. He said he's
(42:00):
been working on this for a couple of years. Who's in?
And then hashtag it is certain. I just wanna, I
just want. They had like a movie that they were
talking about doing for this, like in twenty twenty three.
They were working with the guy who wrote Cocaine Bear
and Blumhouse, but then Blumhouse backed out and I'm just
(42:21):
I'm having a hard time imagining this being interesting, like
you kind of already know the plot, where like with Barbie,
I think the best thing about Barbie is you couldn't
imagine a Barbie movie, Like it was like like is
that gonna be? And then that allows the creators of
the movie to just like take it in weird directions
(42:42):
and like you know, invent something interesting out of the
blue because there's not really something there, whereas this movie
like kind of rights itself, but unfortunately the movie it
writes for itself kind of sucks. Like I can already see.
Speaker 3 (42:57):
You know, the.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
A fourteen year old kid shaking it and saying come on,
come on, as something scary is approaching from outside. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you know what I mean. Yeah hazy, yeah yeah. That's
the other thing. You know, Ouji as a product, which
they've already like made the movie based on that, like
a much better version of the same thing, where it's
(43:21):
like a toy that like has magical communications from like
the beyond powers. Like the whole trick of the Magic
eight Ball is that it has a series of like
pre selected answers that are intentional. We actually got our
kids Magic eight Ball, and I was like fucking around
with it and like it's not fun because the answers
(43:43):
are intentionally vague, so get I think it's like, you know,
they seem like they can apply to people's lives, and
like it's like never getting pinned down by being wrong.
Like I was just looking through the answers today. You've
got the negative answers are don't count on it. My
reply is no. My sources say no, outlook not so
(44:07):
good and very doubtful, like it's and then and then
they have a bunch of like six non committal answers
reply hazy, try again, ask again later, better not tell
you now, cannot predict now, concentrate and ask again. Looking
this up. You pay for a psychic reading. And they're like, ah,
better not tell you now, better not, It's actually better
(44:30):
for you. Don't count on it. Yeah, like all the
negative answers belong in the non committal section. But yeah,
it just feels like it's a middle management executive being
asked to give his opinion on something and like doing
everything to like seem like they have an opinion while
(44:51):
like covering their ass. Is like what the tone of
the magic eight ball is? I I'm just I'm as
team let's all go to the movies. I'm glad this
is relegated to the bins of like streaming TV and
we're not wasting a future film on it because.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I'm not gonna I ain't gonna
fucking huff up bottle of galaxy gas to this shit, exactly.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
I do think like more and more we have, like
the streaming content is it's fine, there's like some good stuff.
I just watched the first episode of The Chair Company
and like that, that's fun that they like made a
streaming series with Tim Robinson and the makers of I
Think You Should Leave, and the director behind Friendship, Like
(45:36):
that's fun. But I just like there's not anything that
is competing with movies the way that like peak TV,
did you know? Yeah yeah. I just feel like the
longer we go where like all these corporations have like
taken the soul out of the streaming content, Like the
more and more people are just gonna be like, yeah,
(45:56):
I guess movies do still need to exist.
Speaker 4 (46:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
Yeah, it's a shame.
Speaker 1 (46:01):
I mean, because like again, this is just another example
of forcing IP down people's throats. It's like, well, no, no,
we got this whole deal for all these toys that
this company, this company makes, we gotta make something.
Speaker 2 (46:12):
With this, right, And then you get a thing that
is like a Goosebumps story, basically like an R. L.
Speaker 1 (46:18):
Steinbook for kids, like they got the magic Shut up whatever,
get out of here.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
I mean, that's that's cruel to Goosebumps. Man. Let's let's
leave Goosebumps. Sorry, man, what am I gonna do? Man,
it's fucking wild. I got a leak in my room.
I know, I'm just stop down for a second. And
every once in a while, miles of eyes just go
to the roof and I just can't know. It hurts
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
Your fucking house burns down. You try and move somewhere.
You think like, oh good, I can like not worry
about this place being a wreck. Yeah, fucking water just
shooting out from the fucking ceiling in.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
La in La anytime, first big rain of the year,
you're gonna find out that there's leaks that you do
not know about anyway. And finally, an rip to Diane
Keaton who passed away the weekend at the age of
seventy nine. You know, she's amazing and they just said
her health deteriorated like in the in the months before
(47:18):
she passed. But yeah, I don't for some reason, Like
I remember having this thought, have you ever seen the
movie The Family Stone? Isn't she in it? Yeah, she's
the matriarch. It's about the family with the last name Stone.
So that's why it's called The Family Stone. Do you
get do you get that? Firm? That's right? But all right,
(47:39):
spoilers ahead for The Family Stone. Okay, but at the
end of it, Diane Keaton's character dies, right, right, And
I remember being like, Nope, this is incorrect. Diane Keaton,
just like there's something about her that it's like I
talk about the the writer William Goldman, who you know
(48:02):
wrote Princess Bride and Butch Cassidy and The Sun Dance Kid,
And one of the movies he wrote was supposed to
be the next Jaws called Ghost in the Darkness. It's
like Jaws but lions, and it's like set in the
you know, in the distant past, and Michael Douglas is
the star. And his theory, yeah, yeah, his theory has
always been that the reason it didn't work is because
(48:25):
Michael Douglas doesn't make sense to our brains for some reason,
as existing in the past, he has to be like
in the present tense and horny, and which I think
is exactly right. Like I'm like, yeah, no, that guy
is not in the past. He's right now and he's
fucking somebody. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:42):
I'm like, yo, this guy's time traveling. I think, yeah,
well no, no, it's set then, no, not him, Yeah,
in the future.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
By the way, Michael Keaton's real name Michael Douglas, and
so he changed it to Michael Keaton because otherwise, you know,
Michael Douglas was already out there holy shit. But like,
I'm not some massive like Diane Keaton stand but there's
something about her persona oh yeah, like doesn't make sense
to me as dying. Like I remember thinking that in
(49:10):
the movie, being like, no, sorry, you picked the wrong person.
She can't die in this movie. She can't die in
a movie. She's got a strong aura. I remember, amazing aura. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:20):
I remember being at like a restaurant she was at
and I said, look at this Diane Keaton looking mother
like it was Diane. I was like, you really, somebody's
really trying to do Diane Keat like from the back, yeah,
from the back. I was like, this person is crushing
the Diane Keaton impersonation game.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
And then I looked back, I.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
Oh shit, and all you knew was just like the
length of hair and the hat and like that's Diane Keaton. Ye,
it's fucking Diane Keat. To your point about her being
like an immortal figure, my mom and her friends they are.
They were texting all day about when she passed, like
Kobe died or some shit. Yeah, they were really.
Speaker 2 (50:00):
My mom was like, oh god, because.
Speaker 1 (50:02):
They're similar ages and I think they I think just
saw her career. They also like came up around the
same time, like just generally like as they got older,
and they're like just watching her career unfold sort of
in line with their lives.
Speaker 2 (50:16):
And yeah, they were like I can't.
Speaker 1 (50:18):
My mom was devastated by this, and I was like, damn, okay, Mom,
I mean I get it was she was great, but
I didn't realize how much of a place she actually.
Speaker 2 (50:28):
Holds in like people like my mom's heart too. She
was what is the youngest or the oldest anybody's ever
been where people refused to accept their death and just
were like, nah, they faked their death, like Tupac and Elvis,
you know where everyone's like, he's actually not dead. Mm hmmm.
I'm just wondering if we could start a rumor that
she's actually still alive. Yeah, but it feels like it's no.
(50:51):
What did Anna just texted? DiAngelo died? Oh Jesus, no
fuck pancreatic can sir. Oh my god, Oh my god, bro,
that is that's fucking awful. That is so upsetting.
Speaker 1 (51:09):
D'Angelo is one of the greatest R and B instrument
fucking singer, songwriter, guitar player this ever did everything. Holy shit,
fifty one years old. Man, Oh that's horrible man, that
fucking yeah, no for real, and I just said, this
is my Diane Keaton here, this is my D'Angelo.
Speaker 2 (51:31):
Man.
Speaker 1 (51:31):
Fucking Voodoo is the most perfect album mat that has
ever been made, ever, ever, ever, fucking damn.
Speaker 2 (51:41):
That is really am I roof leaking? What the fuck? God? Damn?
All right, all right, man, I gotta play Voodoo. Yeah,
go play Voodoo and tend to your leaking roof. I mean,
I don't even have fucking roofing skills. You don't have
roofing skills. No, let me let me get on my resume. Well,
(52:06):
we hired you for you. God damn make it till
you make it man. That's the mantra. All right. Those
are some of the things that are trending on this
Tuesday morning. We are back tomorrow with all last episode
of the show. Until then, be kind to each other,
be kind to yourselves, don't do nothing about white supremacy,
get your vaccines, get your flu shots while you still can,

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
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. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
