Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Out
in the Pods. They call it trending. That is courtesy
if Hank Scipio. Um, I'm Jack. That's Miles um, and
here are some things that are a trend in right
(00:20):
now on this Thursday afternoon. Um, the Sons are trending
because we got to deal with the orbit of these Sons,
not sweep the nuggets. What good? They look good. They
look good, But we've as we've seen first two games
of a series doesn't mean found out real quick about
(00:43):
these these young men over there from Phoenix. Yeah, now
they're good. It's cool to see Chris Paul still out
there doing it even though he's a six ft point
guard who's like over the age of what is he
like thirty five something like that. Yeah, Yeah, it's fun.
It's fun to watch. Um, it's not fun for me
(01:04):
to watch, per se. I prefer the other series to
watch because I'm I'm you know, out here and fully
invested in their downfall. But I'm not gonna lie that. Um.
There's like this viral clip of this young Phoenix Suns fan.
This kid is like just losing it in the stands
and he's like trying to rip his shirt off, but
he's like eleven and he doesn't have the strength and
(01:24):
probably his parents like, you better not rip that shirt
I just bought you. And then so he opts for
like taking it off and just screaming like Laska. And
you know, I'm I can see how pure this young
fans energy is and you put a smile on my
face despite it being for a team that the brand,
(01:44):
the Phoenix Suns brand is so strong right now with
the court side with Guy Ritchie, I mean, like that's
just what It's such a perfect celebrity corollary for the
Phoenix Suns and this young yeah, and this My friend
(02:04):
Todd text me like right when it came on, he
was like, Yo, that is couldn't be more perfect. U.
But the this this young man also you know, and
the people in the background, it just feels like Phoenix
up in there. Um, And it's just really cool. They
were they were one of the worst teams last year,
(02:26):
not not definitely weren't even on anybody's radar, and now
they are a a problem as as Charles Barkley called
Tree young. Um. Yeah, well, you know, good luck to y'all, um,
keep it over there. Yeah, celebrate. Wait, so you said
(02:48):
you are officially rooting against the Clippers. I'll always be rooting.
I'm never for the Clippers. So yeah, but that's just
how it is. You. That's what's great about I always
you always have to have teams you just dislike because
your allegiance. You know, I just strongly dislike Tottenham Hotspur
(03:08):
because of my allegiance to Arsenal. The same thing goes
with the Clippers, just because I think I grew up
with I'm like, I grew up in a Laker of household.
My you know, my dad grew up in at like
born here, like we're Angelino's, So Lakers is like at
our core being. And when you meet people that are
Clippers fans, like what what? Why? Like? What? They all? Right?
(03:31):
Do you? Whatever? Is it usually transplants? Is that? What? No?
I have one friend man who grew up here, born
from here, and chose the Clippers just because he hated
that the rest of us were working with the Lakers. Right,
that makes sense? I mean I respect that. Yeah, I
mean I respect it, But like I said, I don't
I don't need to hear about it. Um. But the
(03:53):
best thing is I remember back in the day, we
used to go to Clippers games because those are the
cheapest Lakers games you could go to. Is when they
played the Clippers. Uh what was the Clippers home game?
Because Lakers home game tickets at the Stable Center were
just like astronomically more expensive. So the way we were
able to go get kicked. Uh, you know, get tickets
to those games, whereas the Clippers home games. And I
remember we all went and it was like a game
(04:14):
where Derek Fisher hit a buzzer beater to beat the
Clippers and we're all like, my friends looking mad, it's
your home game that but yeah, you know we'll see. Well.
I am rooting for the Clippers both because you know,
I'm in l a transplant with no real like allegiances
one way or another other than two parts of the organization.
(04:37):
But my dad's homies with one of the one of
the coaches with the Clippers. Uh, And it is fun
to root for Kauai Leonard Man. That is. Yeah, after
him taking my heart out and just tearing it into
while making unbroken eye contact with me a couple of
years ago, it's kind of it's kind of nice to
(04:58):
be back in the good graces Tuban. We're We're Tuban
again and he's back. Jeffrey Tuban is back talking out
loud on television again after masturbating on a zoom call.
Lead That was pretty recent, right for some ship. Yeah,
(05:23):
last year during the pandemic. I'll play this clip for you.
He's on CNN and Alice in Camerata, Alison Camearata, is
interviewing him. They make this poor lady talk to him
about like they're trying to clear the air based because
he's back on CNN. They're like, we're not gonna several
(05:45):
relationship as our chief legal analysts because it takes are
too good. But this is the cringe eest like hand
holding through. You got caught jerking off on zoom like
pr like revival thing I've ever seen. Um, And we'll
play a bit of this for you now just so
you can understand how cringe e the whole thing is.
(06:06):
And I have not seen this, so be honest, help yourself, okay. Um.
In October, you were on a zoom call with your
colleagues from the New Yorker magazine. Everyone took a break
for several minutes, during which time you were caught masturbating
on camera. You were subsequently fired from that job after
(06:29):
twenty seven years of working. Why are they doing in there?
We don't even know what you're talking. You're not you're
not allowed back on, but okay, go oh, we're not done.
Go on, please keep describing this awful situation. And you
since then have been on leave from Sienna. Do I
have all that right? M you got it all right?
(06:50):
Sad to say? Okay, so let's start there. Well, to
quote Jay Leno, what the hell were you thinking? Well,
obviously I wasn't thinking very well or very much. Um,
it was something that was inexplicable to me. I think
one point I wouldn't because nothing is really in my defense.
(07:10):
I didn't think I was on the call. I didn't
think other people could see me. Oh okay, okay, even
though it says this isn't this isn't a defense, but
I'd like to make a point. You think that's a defense.
That's why you keep saying it. You couldn't just be like, yeah,
it was the dumbest shit I've ever done in my life.
I pretty much threw everything away because I was impulsive
(07:33):
or what anyway, But go on, go off, King about
how I didn't know anyone was on the call. You
thought that you had turned off your camerarecked. I thought
that I had turned off to zoom call. Now that's
not a defense. This was deeply moronic and indefensible. But
I mean that that is part of that. That is
part of the story. Okay, So now let me get
(07:58):
into the rest of the story. Okay, So now what
was I watching at the time? Great question, Allison. So
I was navigating to porn hub dot com, the website, like,
where is this going? What is the point of all this?
Because it's deeply uncomfortable, and they acted like he like
he like greeted the queen incorrectly or something like that
(08:22):
is his his vibe is just all right. So I
had a little oopsidais ms. Uh I can explain it?
And there's no way there's no explaining it, right, I mean,
I really, So what do we do? What is f
duck or making us do? Right now? The I would
they make that poor woman have that conversation two talk
(08:48):
about someone masturbating uh with them right there as an
invitation for them to then talk about their own masturbation. Uh.
It seems cruel and unusual. Um yeah, I I don't know,
like I get there's one conversation like it's obviously do
(09:08):
you do what you want with your body in the
privacy home? But like you're you're being you're committing lewd
act on like a in a work call, like you
you can't even compartmentalize jolly time from zoom serious time.
Um but yeah, okay cool. So if if you need,
if you need a boss who's down with second chances,
(09:30):
holler at CNN. He also has the energy of somebody
who believes they've aced every job interview they've ever been on.
He's just like, I'm so glad you asked me that, Allison,
And it's really uh, I mean, uh, dodo brain over here, right?
But also, uh, what what is this famous Jay Leno
(09:53):
quote that none of us have ever heard of? What
the heck were you thinking you would do? Like why
even again, all these attempts to like soften like sort
of make uh you know, just I don't know, I cool.
So he's he's back, y'all tupins back. Yeah, shout out
(10:15):
to that man. Kim jong un is trending, uh because
he's looking slender up because he was hidden for like
a month and a half, and you know, half the
time they're like, is this him? Is it an impersonator? Like,
what's going on with him? There's all this speculation about
his health. He came out looking thinner, and because again,
(10:38):
you know, it's the as colloquially known as the hermit
Kingdom where you don't know what like all you can
do is kind of presume to know what's going happening
on within the borders there that it's like basically turned
into two camps of thought in terms of foreign policy,
one which is like, well, if he's sick and lost
all this weight, we better buckle up because there's gonna
(10:58):
be a power vacuum in this country. We don't know
who's who's making moves behind his back or what's going
to happen, or who we're dealing with if something's actually
going on with his health. The other one is, oh,
maybe he he you know, for his health, lost a
little weight because he wants to have some more longevity
as a leader. And then foreign policy were like, that's
I guess the better option because at least we know
(11:19):
who we're dealing with in that respect. But that's like
it's just wild how this is like, oh my god,
lost weight? Is he dying? Is he healthy? What's I
mean for born policy? And that's why it's just a
light on the internet. Is there anybody saying that he
is a different person? Now? No, not quite, you know
if anyone's gotten to the Dave theory. Okay, So I'm
(11:43):
just looking. So the Guardian uh put together put an
image where he could slide back and forth between him
June and July, and he looks like a much younger
uh person in June. Maybe he just needed some rest
and relaxation and get a little bit of sun. But yeah,
(12:05):
he's also smoking a cigarette in the in the shutout. Look,
I'm losing weight on my own terms, man um. Elden
Ring is trending. I don't know what that is because
it's not on switch good job. I was gonna say first, no,
(12:26):
Elden Campbell did not lose his Lakers Championship ring. And
that's not why Elden Ring and trending is because this
new game Jack it's up. It's so it's a collaboration
from Bandai Namco, who you know make great games. George R. R.
Martin is the creative force within the game, and everyone's like, yo,
(12:47):
how do we not know it? Like George R. Martin
is real good about not talking about anything, and it
was just unveiled at this thing. I think a lot
of people, you know, had theories and things about this game,
but the trailer is just so like out there wild,
like it looks like you can I guess you can
see like sort of the Martin influence. But because it's
(13:07):
a video game, like visually, they can do so many
other things that would probably be end up being like
a multi billion dollar film. Um, but yeah, everybody's very
excited for it. Now. Are we at a point where
you can trust video game trailers now? Because I feel
like that was always a thing back when I was
(13:30):
paying attention to, uh trailers. I I just gaming so
often now that I don't uh that I don't even
look at the trailers, but uh the Yeah, you used
to get burned by these trailers that would be like
much better graphics. They would be showing you stuff that
it was like a leaps beyond what was we were
(13:51):
capable of, and then it would just be either like
a cut scene or you know, it just wasn't wasn't
what we were I mean, we're still that's still much
of possibility, especially when you're talking about like current gen consoles,
like the game, this game is not gonna look the
same on PS four as it does on PS five, um,
But yeah, they're always going to show you the absolute
(14:12):
best version, um, whether they're you know, cut scenes or
renderings that are like using processors that most of us
don't have and the concis we use. But at the
same time, like now that like a lot of these
systems are getting much more robust in terms of like
their computing power, I think that gap will begin to
(14:32):
tighten up. But yeah, you know, it's still a bit
of a fantasy for sure. And speaking of fantasy, well
that was also taking place enough in the fantasy genre.
And but there's a new movie on Netflix that it
sounds like it would be like a fun kind of
not hate watch, but like watch and laugh at. It's
(14:54):
called Awake, um, and the premises would like it's a
post apocalyptic world where people can't sleep and so people
just get I guess like drunker like as the as
the movie goes along, I don't know, it's supposed to
be very bad because you're like the exhaustion from the
(15:16):
Sleep Your brand is just devolving over the course of days. Um.
The some of the reviews everything seen the Guardian foot
Awake review Netflix's bird Box Light thriller is a real snooze.
One star. Damn. I mean I like the idea, Like,
I like, it's such a high thought as a film.
(15:40):
Everybody on earth couldn't sleep becauld you imagine, like how
long would that last before everything like falls apart? Because
you and it's like some dudes like man, because I'm
barely getting sleep now with the kids, you know what
I mean? That was everybody in three minutes. This is
definitely written by a new parent probably. Um. Yeah, it
just seems like a very hard thing too. I could
(16:02):
see this maybe being a novel, but being a movie.
It's just like people just look like shit and make
bad decisions and fall like I I don't know what
what you would do with that necessarily. Yeah. A Sweet Tooth,
on the other hand, looks pretty good. Uh. The New
Loki Show is supposed to be very good. Uh so
(16:25):
all things that you can stream, and of course we
got that wreck from d v K earlier in the week,
what Invincible Invincible and watching it. Yeah, it's actually it's
I'm I'm like almost the first episode, but it's there's
like some real, like emotional type ship in there that
is is like really interesting to see, especially an animated thing,
(16:47):
where like there's clearly this tension between this father and
son and but mapping like the superhero stuff on top
of it is it's it's cool, it's cool. I don't
want to keep watching, though, I was you know that
when dvks like you gotta watch it. Um, I respected
him immediately and checked it out that night. But yeah,
I'm gonna keep going. I am reading a novel that
(17:10):
I hold in my hands made out of paper for
the first time in a long time, called The Time
Machine Did It by Schwartzwelder the based off of that
New Yorker interview with him. He's like the guy who wrote, uh,
some of the best Simpsons episodes, And it's you know,
I laugh out loud pretty frequently, which not not many
(17:33):
novels really do that. So yeah, I'm sure it doesn't
feel it feels very Swartzwelding. And yes, there's the main
camera character, like the private Eye. Main character is like
if Jake from Chinatown was crossed with Homer Simpson. Um,
(17:53):
it's pretty fucking funny, all right. Yeah, it's just great.
I love some comedy pros and I haven't like really
read much of it since uh early cracked days. Um,
you know so good. I'm glad you're reading. You're reading
with your eyes again, yeah, in your hands, hands and
by that, Mike, I'm making my kids reading. And you're like,
(18:17):
do the voices this time and tick on my back.
All right. Those are some of the things that are
trending on this Thursday. We are back tomorrow with the
whole last episode of the shows. Until then, be kind
to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the fucking
back scene, don't do nothing about what supremacy, and we'll
(18:39):
talk to you all tomorrow. Bye bye,
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Out
in the Pods. They call it trending. That is courtesy
if Hank Scipio. Um, I'm Jack. That's Miles um, and

(00:20):
now on this Thursday afternoon. Um, the Sons are trending
because we got to deal with the orbit of these Sons,
not sweep the nuggets. What good? They look good. They
look good, But we've as we've seen first two games
of a series doesn't mean found out real quick about
(00:43):
these these young men over there from Phoenix. Yeah, now
they're good. It's cool to see Chris Paul still out

if anyone's gotten to the Dave theory. Okay, So I'm
(11:43):
just looking. So the Guardian uh put together put an
image where he could slide back and forth between him
June and July, and he looks like a much younger
uh person in June. Maybe he just needed some rest
and relaxation and get a little bit of sun. But yeah,
(12:05):
he's also smoking a cigarette in the in the shutout. Look,
I'm losing weight on my own terms, man um. Elden
Ring is trending. I don't know what that is because
it's not on switch good job. I was gonna say first, no,
(12:26):
Elden Campbell did not lose his Lakers Championship ring. And
that's not why Elden Ring and trending is because this
new game Jack it's up. It's so it's a collaboration
from Bandai Namco, who you know make great games. George R. R.
Martin is the creative force within the game, and everyone's like, yo,
(12:47):
how do we not know it? Like George R. Martin
is real good about not talking about anything, and it
was just unveiled at this thing. I think a lot
of people, you know, had theories and things about this game,
but the trailer is just so like out there wild,
like it looks like you can I guess you can
see like sort of the Martin influence. But because it's
(13:07):
a video game, like visually, they can do so many
other things that would probably be end up being like
a multi billion dollar film. Um, but yeah, everybody's very
excited for it. Now. Are we at a point where
you can trust video game trailers now? Because I feel
like that was always a thing back when I was
(13:30):
paying attention to, uh trailers. I I just gaming so
often now that I don't uh that I don't even
look at the trailers, but uh the Yeah, you used
to get burned by these trailers that would be like
much better graphics. They would be showing you stuff that
it was like a leaps beyond what was we were
(13:51):
capable of, and then it would just be either like
a cut scene or you know, it just wasn't wasn't
what we were I mean, we're still that's still much
of possibility, especially when you're talking about like current gen consoles,
like the game, this game is not gonna look the
same on PS four as it does on PS five, um,
But yeah, they're always going to show you the absolute
(14:12):
best version, um, whether they're you know, cut scenes or
renderings that are like using processors that most of us
don't have and the concis we use. But at the
same time, like now that like a lot of these
systems are getting much more robust in terms of like
their computing power, I think that gap will begin to
(14:32):
tighten up. But yeah, you know, it's still a bit
of a fantasy for sure. And speaking of fantasy, well
that was also taking place enough in the fantasy genre.
And but there's a new movie on Netflix that it
sounds like it would be like a fun kind of
not hate watch, but like watch and laugh at. It's
(14:54):
called Awake, um, and the premises would like it's a
post apocalyptic world where people can't sleep and so people
just get I guess like drunker like as the as
the movie goes along, I don't know, it's supposed to
be very bad because you're like the exhaustion from the
(15:16):
Sleep Your brand is just devolving over the course of days. Um.
The some of the reviews everything seen the Guardian foot
Awake review Netflix's bird Box Light thriller is a real snooze.
One star. Damn. I mean I like the idea, Like,
I like, it's such a high thought as a film.
(15:40):
Everybody on earth couldn't sleep becauld you imagine, like how
long would that last before everything like falls apart? Because
you and it's like some dudes like man, because I'm
barely getting sleep now with the kids, you know what
I mean? That was everybody in three minutes. This is
definitely written by a new parent probably. Um. Yeah, it
just seems like a very hard thing too. I could
(16:02):
see this maybe being a novel, but being a movie.
It's just like people just look like shit and make
bad decisions and fall like I I don't know what
what you would do with that necessarily. Yeah. A Sweet Tooth,
on the other hand, looks pretty good. Uh. The New
Loki Show is supposed to be very good. Uh so
(16:25):
all things that you can stream, and of course we
got that wreck from d v K earlier in the week,
what Invincible Invincible and watching it. Yeah, it's actually it's
I'm I'm like almost the first episode, but it's there's
like some real, like emotional type ship in there that
is is like really interesting to see, especially an animated thing,
(16:47):
where like there's clearly this tension between this father and
son and but mapping like the superhero stuff on top
of it is it's it's cool, it's cool. I don't
want to keep watching, though, I was you know that
when dvks like you gotta watch it. Um, I respected
him immediately and checked it out that night. But yeah,
I'm gonna keep going. I am reading a novel that
(17:10):
I hold in my hands made out of paper for
the first time in a long time, called The Time
Machine Did It by Schwartzwelder the based off of that
New Yorker interview with him. He's like the guy who wrote, uh,
some of the best Simpsons episodes, And it's you know,
I laugh out loud pretty frequently, which not not many
(17:33):
novels really do that. So yeah, I'm sure it doesn't
feel it feels very Swartzwelding. And yes, there's the main
camera character, like the private Eye. Main character is like
if Jake from Chinatown was crossed with Homer Simpson. Um,
(17:53):
it's pretty fucking funny, all right. Yeah, it's just great.
I love some comedy pros and I haven't like really
read much of it since uh early cracked days. Um,
you know so good. I'm glad you're reading. You're reading
with your eyes again, yeah, in your hands, hands and
by that, Mike, I'm making my kids reading. And you're like,
(18:17):
do the voices this time and tick on my back.
All right. Those are some of the things that are
trending on this Thursday. We are back tomorrow with the
whole last episode of the shows. Until then, be kind
to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the fucking
back scene, don't do nothing about what supremacy, and we'll
(18:39):
talk to you all tomorrow. Bye bye,
