Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Rip
Brian wils Trend or Rip Brian Trenson, just whichever Will's
trend is. How it struck me that one courtesy of
Banadium Silver. My name is Jack, that over there is
mister Miles.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And this is the show where we tell you some
of the things that are trending on this here afternoon Wednesday,
July June eleventh, you know, July eleventh.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Just be ready because July eleventh is a free Slurpee day.
Get your umbrellas out because that's when the slurpee is
gonna rain. Also yesterday, be remiss if we didn't say
the Sopranos finale nineteen year anniversary. Watched the final scene
and holds up. I'll say ye, I definitely head in.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
My memory eighteen years now.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I think eighteen years all right, Damn James or Baniac
on Twitter at nineteen Well fucking blew it, man.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I can't believe everything you read.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
On the internet, but I so I watched the whole
final scene. It's like the ending is even more nonchalant
than I remembered for some reason, you know, because people
have broken it down moment by moment and they're like, Okay,
this person is in this shot and like you can
see them in the framing like back here, and I'd
(01:29):
like watched the finale when it happened, consumed all that content,
and then this was I think the first time i'd
watched it since, and like when everything's not being broken
down for you in the moment, it it just feels
like your TV went out for sure, Like it's like
(01:50):
I think i'd added a memory where the guy came
back out of the bathroom, like I think is the
person who I assumed kills him, like turns the lights
out on him, but he doesn't, Like he goes to
the bathroom and that's the last we see of him,
and then there's like the doorbell, the bell of somebody
walking through the door. He looks up and that's it.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Mm hmm. I mean I remember at the time, like everyone.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I was like, what the fuck?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah no, but I guess, yeah, I guess on a second,
because I've when I've watched it again, I'm like, oh, yeah, okay,
I don't know, like if that's how the David Chase.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Wanted to endit, it great, fine, whatever, Yeah, No, I
like the ending I think it's it's also sort of
I was ambivalent about it. I was like, you know,
like some people were like it's perfect, and people like
I fucking hated it.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I'm like, yeah, whatever, great.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, I actually it made me hate the breaking bad
ending because I was like, that's so like fan servicey
and like exactly what Walter White would have wanted the
ending to be, as opposed to just like something like
this the right ending to the story. Right. But it's
also like neurologists say that like if you if you
(02:59):
are like killed suddenly, like you probably won't even perceive
your own death, Like you won't even it will feel
like that if you know. Okay, So I just have
don't stop believing playing constantly and just have don't stop
believing playing all the time. And that's exactly what it'll
feel like, all right. Brian Wilson, I mean we talked
(03:21):
about it a little bit on tomorrow's episode, but one
of the great, yeah, really tragic life.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I only know the most obscure things about him. I
known everything you were talking about and Matt were talking about.
I was like, WHOA, that's fucking crazy, ma'am. This Brian
Wilson does seems chilling. I only know that his favorite
movie is Norbit, and he also offered fans cocaine backstage
once in an audio recording.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, I did not know about the offer. I didn't
know either of those Norbit or the cocaine thing. What.
So he's just like backstage chilling.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
And apparently this clip it's they say it's from the
Beach Boys Endless Bummer, the very worst of the Beach Boys.
I don't know what that is. But again this was
like recorded apparently with like fans who were backstage. Oh,
someone actually posted I don't again, this is the YouTube
comment this. This was me and two other friends in
nineteen eighty one. We found out where the Beach Boys
(04:13):
were staying and went in search of them. We found them.
Brian was walking down the hall wearing only sweatpants. He
was our god, and we began to talk to him.
T us it was unbelievable that we were talking to
Brian Wilson. He invited us backstage to the concert as well.
Unbeknownst to two of us, our third friend was taping
our encounter. The tape was just for the three of us.
How it got out I'll never know. And this is
what happens. So this is Brian Wilson talking to some
(04:35):
fans and saying like, hey man, I'm doing two shows.
Like they're like, yeah, we'll be at the first one,
and he's like, yeah, come hang out afterwards. We can
just you know, we'll just wrap man', just chop it up.
And then biz like, do you guys snort cocaine? And
it's a very odd interaction. But also so I don't know,
wholesome such a wholesome offering.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, the way he asks it is like, so this
is him offering it trop bib. We'll rat than it.
We get into just hang it out right, Yeah, yeah,
you guys.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Wait for it.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I give.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Hey man, I do I do, Brian as for you,
I will, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
That's what it feels like.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Anyway, So there's some on the writer jam Put pointed out,
like the demo recording of Surfs up from the Smile sessions,
like just Smile, Yeah, the false st is crazy. Smile
was the record he was working on after Pet Sounds,
and then Mike Love convinced him that like Pet Sounds
was a flop and a disaster, and so he got
(05:41):
convinced not to make Smile, which was like the Smile
Sessions are where he recorded Good Vibrations, which is like
regarded as one of the like great songs of that decade.
So shout out to Mike Love, you know, one of
the there. He's out there. He's still out there, you know,
because things are good and things work out by the
(06:04):
way they should. All right. We have testimony from a
former Doge engineer who, you know, we were hearing some
wild stuff about this crack team of young hackers who
were going in and fixing the US government.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Finding all that waste and fraud.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Fining all that waste, finding all that fraud. I have
no doubt, Like I was assuming that they were going
to find some weight, Like the government is like old
and creaky and like built by ninety year old. Certainly
like they're going to be able to find some waste,
some fraud.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Hold on seven hundred thousand subscriptions to TV guide that
are still active. No, no, okay.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
This is what we congress alone. Yeah, but yeah, this
guy said that like they were really struggling to find
waste and fraud. They were relatively nonexistent.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Hmmm.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Wow, But you walked in there being like, oh I
know everything, I know how to get waste and fraud
because I think you know the way that was that
the same one where they're comparing it to how like
they know how it is in tech where there is
tremendous amounts.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Of like wasteful spending.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, and I personally it was pretty surprised actually at
how efficient the government was. Holy shit, this is what
you hear like from people who've like worked in both
private sector and the government. Like the government like is
so it's not like not funded, but it's like it's
not like there's no just like giant wasteful like idiots
(07:38):
at the end of you know, like thirsty Thursdays where
like they yeah, they bring in a fucking bespoke whiskey car.
Everybody's they're like working because they like believe in doing
that thing, not because they were like convinced because they
had like a fucking indoor adult playground and like cool
candy on tap. And you always hear people be like, yeah,
(08:01):
like it's real amateur hour in the private sector, right,
And when you look at the record of things that
have been accomplished by you know, publicly funded adventures such
as the Internet, they just get like taken over by
fucking the private sector and the private sector because we
live in a you know, our religion is capitalism. It
(08:22):
gets like taken over and we retell the story where
it's actually like Steve Job in a garage somewhere actually
made that make the Internet. Go oh yeah, it's Bill Gates.
It's not that his parents were so wealthy. He had
access to a computer before any other child did in America,
and that the government had built the infrastructure for the
(08:45):
thing that he was working on. Born in the fuck man,
just like, well, I guess I wouldn't benefit because I'm
not a white person. But Jack, if you were just
born twenty five years earlier, dude, oh man, the snorting
cocaine with Brian Wilson and coding the Internet, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
And coming up with like really just because I just
think of like how low the bar is for like
our the original scripts, like in Hollywood in the eighties,
not that it was bad, but you're like you were
you were just really roaming in and like it's like
a fucked up ski resort or something.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Man's boobs in and there.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, great, great, great.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Great great resort or something. It's like five movies that
I have that premise, But.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Even then they're still like, yeah, man, this one sounds
a little different than the last one.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
What if we did a replace all A phrase I
just came up with because I'm also brainstorming the internet.
What if we did that with karate and so instead
of it being a fucked up town that is like
run with skiing and then they settle things with skiing race,
what if it was fucked up town that's run by
(09:50):
children's karate, they settle things with a children's karate tournament. Swish,
Hell yeah, just tears and eyes and the boardroom. Unbelievable
the way they speak to the human experience, just like
it's a gift, all right. What if there was more
than one karate kid? What if there were three ninjas?
(10:14):
Count it bang bang way downtown. Let's take a.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Quick break, we'll come back, and we're back, and we're back,
and it's time to boycott his birthday parade.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Yeah, so we were talking about how, you know, I
think yesterday right that, Yeah, there was you know, some
some grumbling, some suspicions that maybe people aren't going to
be descending onto Washington, d C. For deer leaders fucking
birthday bonanza parade.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
It's not even a good one. It's like, what is
it seventy nine.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
His birthday?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, he's seventy. I think seventy eight. It's not even
fucking that's not that's not.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Because he saw the Bastille Day celebrations his first term in.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Paris and he was like, what the fuck. And I'm like,
first of all, you're not gonna there's no America can't
show out like the French can't in that way.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Just so you know, we're.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
We're a very very sick flavor society of Bland. So
I know you saw that and that looked hype, but
that's not happening here, babe. We are baked chicken breast.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Yeah, unseasoned baked chicken breast.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
You are chicken cordombles. We are baked chicken breadth.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
That's that's cook avon that you saw over there. This
is just just catch up on a fucking chicken tender.
But anyway, the organizers, like we said, expecting to anticipating
rather two hundred thousand people to show up and spontaneous.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
That number out there is they're getting fired. Yeah, they
want to lose their job they're like they're part of
their like the Doje engineer being like, actually, this place
fucking sucks.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Stinks this place, but you know, so there are not
many people showing up, as we found out at least
do it looking at Hotel resu hotel booking. Maybe and
I believe it.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I just don't think people give a shit about Donald
Trump's birthday enough for two hundred thousand people to make
their way to the capital. People love a fucking party, man,
like that. We were talking about how they're can like
having to cancel or not having to but because of
you know, all the corporate funding drying up, Like a
lot of these Pride events are like much smaller, and
like the amount of tourism for these Pride events is wild.
(12:39):
They're like, this is better than a Taylor Swift cont
Like we have, right, more bookings than like Taylor Swift concerts.
We have like more. It's like the fucking super Bowl
for Columbus Ohio, you know, and Columbus Ohio doesn't get
the super Bowl. So these are like people will go
to a party if you throw a good party, if
you're a good one. I think the problem is this
(13:01):
looks like a fucking terrible part. It looks like baked chicken.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Breast, and it looks like every it's like a fascistic
everyone praised the dear Leader. Event Now, I don't doubt
people will go because there's plenty of people in this
cold Yeah, will fawn over deer Leader two hundred thousand.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
They're gonna be able to like build a good crowd
shot for sure.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah, and then but don't but you know, someone's gonna take.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
That cheeky wide Oh yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Gonna be like the inauguration all over again. You're gonna
have Sean Spicer just or you know, fucking what's her
face now, Caroline Levitt doing her best. This was while
attended birthday party ever Ever.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
So the other thing is, though political started asking elected
Republicans who are going, just seven of fifty surveyed GOP
lawmakers are planning to actually attend the president's birthday festivities
over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Of course, the biggest blickers of the boot like Marjorie
Taylor Green and Byron Donald's they are gonna be there.
But they're even having like the heads of the armed
survey committees like in the House and the Senate, they're like, ah, yeah, yeah,
I gotta do another thing.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Like Mark Wayne Mullen, who's prettived that they're pretending is
for the army, that's the army's birthday is not even
going to They're like, well, they're like we're actually going,
which makes sense, Like there's actually a huge arms conference
happening abroad that we have to be at because that's
that's really what's going on.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
It's a military industrial complex. It's not these soldiers. Mark
Wayne Mullen, who's also a very loyal Trump person, he's like,
I got my anniversary, like a bunch of people just
have all these weird lindsays not even going.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
So that's wild.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
That's and you're like, what the fuck again, There's been
a lot of mumbling Trumps, like the protesters they fuck around.
They're gonna find out. But honestly, the the funniest shit
is if no one even bothers to fucking protest, like
the thing that would do to his ego.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I low, like nobody can I think there's gonna be
protests on Saturday elsewhere? Yeah? Yeah, which if we could
get a protest, those bigger than his birthday party in
other cities.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
They are to be trust me, La New York, Chicago,
all the stay yes have these huge Yeah so many
places those are mean much bigger crowds.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
But anyway, this is this is a trend with the
mainstream media though that I just want to like if
I got, if I got to be the editor in
chief of all media. There's these two. There are these
trends that they do, like this being one where they're
they think they're like owning the Trump administration, but they're
really just like acting as fucking hall monitors for the
(15:30):
Trump administration. Like this one where like you're telling on
these people for not attending. You're like fun, like now
it's gonna make them go, right like Politico lindsay, yeah exactly,
or like the fucking people the all the all the
stories about how like Biden deported more people. It's like,
(15:50):
what do you think you're doing right now?
Speaker 3 (15:53):
You're bringing people back into the fold of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
With that, right, Yeah, it's so fucking annoying. Yeah, like, yeah,
what's up, bitch. You can't you can't deport people like
our guy Biden could.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yeah, right exactly. It's it's all all very very sad,
but you know, we will see what happens. There's this
there's another quote from people that are just not gonna
be just so many people and all this to have
sixty six hundred soldiers and some actors because they need
people to fill up the costumes that they're gonna be
wearing to.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Oh for real.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, because it's like trying to honor all the like
the conflicts that the US Army has been in since
its inception.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Kind of Oh so they're cosplaying.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Yeah that's what again. He saw this fucking fantastic French
Bastille Day fucking celebration and he's like, I want that,
but old tanks ripping up the fucking ground. Yeah, yeah, Brian,
even the Korean War and Vietnam because Trump believes we
want all of those.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I'm sure, but it's gonna be the Vietnam War as
depicted in Rambo two.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
It's just gonna be Rambo one guy, just as Rampo
as the depiction of the Vietnam War.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Last time, you bet we do.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
And that's actually slashed doone.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Wow, pretty sick? All right? Omaha there was a raid
at an Omaha meatpacking plant and residents sprang to action
there as well. Yeah. Also Rock the state as non
citizens worry that ICE scrutiny is about to intensify in Nebraska.
They're everywhere. Yeah, it feels like they're everywhere. And I
(17:25):
do feel like, again, like as we talked about tomorrow,
like the protests have done some good things by drawing
attention to this story that for a while was just
like do you see those people getting in the way
of ice in like that San Diego neighborhood. But like,
I don't feel like there was as much media attention
on like how fucked these raids are and that they're
(17:47):
happening everywhere.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
They're like that it's so fucked up. How the protesters
broke a window?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Oh yeah, the raid? Okay, Okay, I see where this
is going. Yeah, I mean the raids are happening all
over the country. There's now Trump is like they're sending
in ice like special response teams to five different states
that are led by Democrats, again to just create the
headlines that it's so bad we have to send in
like the Navy seals of the immigrant kidnapper gang, which
(18:15):
is yes, okay to get all these people who are
peacefully protesting. Shout out to Ellie from Zeitgang who mentioned
to me and the DMS that again, like with this
thing that's happened, because we were just talking about Warren Buffett,
like yesterday, I was just thinking about Omaha. But like,
Nebraska is one of the biggest producers of meat, and
you know already there's a labor shortage there, so like
(18:36):
for every hundred jobs, there's only like thirty nine people
available to do the work. These are the like, these
are the small knock on effects that begin to happen
when you're just absolutely no consideration for what you're doing
who you're doing it to. But America's precious meats. Also,
I don't know if that's a version of the story
that people can attach to that would give them, Yeah,
your meat, I mean, they don't give a fuck, Like
(18:58):
it turns out, it's why it's a press over everything.
But yeah, I mean meat. They're coming for your guns,
they're invading your state, like states rights. Wasn't that your
burger Hamburgers?
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Are y'all fucking for real? Yeah, it's it's It's just again,
this is how we're seeing this all play out. And
I'm always heartened to see that people where they're living
their their first response is to take up for their neighbors,
the people that live in their community. There was a
photo of the lunch room at this meat plaque packing
facility with just all these like lunch like people's like
(19:33):
lunches that they bring to work that were just accumulated
on a pile on a table because all those people
had just been fucking kidnapped by ice. And it's just
like such a really subtle visual, but you're just like,
you just look at that, and you're like, that's someone
who was just going to fucking.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Work to try and make ends meet, and now all
that's left of them is a fucking lunch pail that
was before the Ice agents ate their lunches. Yeah, presume probably. Yeah.
Gavin Newsom also is like, I am the face of
this resistance but not drawing a ton of attention to
(20:13):
anything but like himself, it feels like, yeah, I mean he's.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
He's saying the right things for the most part right now,
but it's just like you're just like, dude, I hate that.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
It's you man. Yeah, don't give it.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You don't give a fuck about trans people, fucking the
actually the actual poor people, you don't.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah, he like went in and like broke up a
homeless encampment like with him with his hand, like it
was like shit all over there the photo op. I
feel like he's gonna like he's gonna be like arrest
me then like Harvey Dent style, and then he's gonna
get arrested and immediately like join the Aryan Brotherhood in prison. Yeah. Yeah,
(20:51):
I'm too cute for prison guys. I need protection. Yeah.
This is the other thing too, with all these raids.
Remember like when the way he's talking about I was like, well,
you know, if you hire somebody who doesn't have legal status,
you're going to be in trouble too.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Where the fuck are they rounding.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
These people up? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yeah, if that's really the case, And again, that's not
the fucking issue here.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
That's all just double speak to make it seem like
there's any kind of balance like whatever. There's no balanced
application of the law. This is just straight up white supremacy.
You're gone fucking wild. Yeah all right, those are some
of the things that are trending on this Wednesday, June eleventh.
We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of
the show. Until then, be kind to each other, Be
(21:34):
kind to yourselves, get your vaccines while you still can't
get your flu shots. Don't do nothing about white supremacy,
and we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye Bye bye.

Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Rip
Brian wils Trend or Rip Brian Trenson, just whichever Will's
trend is. How it struck me that one courtesy of
Banadium Silver. My name is Jack, that over there is
mister Miles.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And this is the show where we tell you some
of the things that are trending on this here afternoon Wednesday,
July June eleventh, you know, July eleventh.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Just be ready because July eleventh is a free Slurpee day.
Get your umbrellas out because that's when the slurpee is
gonna rain. Also yesterday, be remiss if we didn't say
the Sopranos finale nineteen year anniversary. Watched the final scene
and holds up. I'll say ye, I definitely head in.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
My memory eighteen years now.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I think eighteen years all right, Damn James or Baniac
on Twitter at nineteen Well fucking blew it, man.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
I can't believe everything you read.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
On the internet, but I so I watched the whole
final scene. It's like the ending is even more nonchalant
than I remembered for some reason, you know, because people
have broken it down moment by moment and they're like, Okay,
this person is in this shot and like you can
see them in the framing like back here, and I'd
(01:29):
like watched the finale when it happened, consumed all that content,
and then this was I think the first time i'd
watched it since, and like when everything's not being broken
down for you in the moment, it it just feels
like your TV went out for sure, Like it's like
(01:50):
I think i'd added a memory where the guy came
back out of the bathroom, like I think is the
person who I assumed kills him, like turns the lights
out on him, but he doesn't, Like he goes to
the bathroom and that's the last we see of him,
and then there's like the doorbell, the bell of somebody
walking through the door. He looks up and that's it.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Mm hmm. I mean I remember at the time, like everyone.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I was like, what the fuck?
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah no, but I guess, yeah, I guess on a second,
because I've when I've watched it again, I'm like, oh, yeah, okay,
I don't know, like if that's how the David Chase.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Wanted to endit, it great, fine, whatever, Yeah, No, I
like the ending I think it's it's also sort of
I was ambivalent about it. I was like, you know,
like some people were like it's perfect, and people like
I fucking hated it.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I'm like, yeah, whatever, great.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Yeah, I actually it made me hate the breaking bad
ending because I was like, that's so like fan servicey
and like exactly what Walter White would have wanted the
ending to be, as opposed to just like something like
this the right ending to the story. Right. But it's
also like neurologists say that like if you if you
(02:59):
are like killed suddenly, like you probably won't even perceive
your own death, Like you won't even it will feel
like that if you know. Okay, So I just have
don't stop believing playing constantly and just have don't stop
believing playing all the time. And that's exactly what it'll
feel like, all right. Brian Wilson, I mean we talked
(03:21):
about it a little bit on tomorrow's episode, but one
of the great, yeah, really tragic life.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
I only know the most obscure things about him. I
known everything you were talking about and Matt were talking about.
I was like, WHOA, that's fucking crazy, ma'am. This Brian
Wilson does seems chilling. I only know that his favorite
movie is Norbit, and he also offered fans cocaine backstage
once in an audio recording.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, I did not know about the offer. I didn't
know either of those Norbit or the cocaine thing. What.
So he's just like backstage chilling.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
And apparently this clip it's they say it's from the
Beach Boys Endless Bummer, the very worst of the Beach Boys.
I don't know what that is. But again this was
like recorded apparently with like fans who were backstage. Oh,
someone actually posted I don't again, this is the YouTube
comment this. This was me and two other friends in
nineteen eighty one. We found out where the Beach Boys
(04:13):
were staying and went in search of them. We found them.
Brian was walking down the hall wearing only sweatpants. He
was our god, and we began to talk to him.
T us it was unbelievable that we were talking to
Brian Wilson. He invited us backstage to the concert as well.
Unbeknownst to two of us, our third friend was taping
our encounter. The tape was just for the three of us.
How it got out I'll never know. And this is
what happens. So this is Brian Wilson talking to some
(04:35):
fans and saying like, hey man, I'm doing two shows.
Like they're like, yeah, we'll be at the first one,
and he's like, yeah, come hang out afterwards. We can
just you know, we'll just wrap man', just chop it up.
And then biz like, do you guys snort cocaine? And
it's a very odd interaction. But also so I don't know,
wholesome such a wholesome offering.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah, the way he asks it is like, so this
is him offering it trop bib. We'll rat than it.
We get into just hang it out right, Yeah, yeah,
you guys.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Wait for it.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I give.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Hey man, I do I do, Brian as for you,
I will, Yeah exactly.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
That's what it feels like.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Anyway, So there's some on the writer jam Put pointed out,
like the demo recording of Surfs up from the Smile sessions,
like just Smile, Yeah, the false st is crazy. Smile
was the record he was working on after Pet Sounds,
and then Mike Love convinced him that like Pet Sounds
was a flop and a disaster, and so he got
(05:41):
convinced not to make Smile, which was like the Smile
Sessions are where he recorded Good Vibrations, which is like
regarded as one of the like great songs of that decade.
So shout out to Mike Love, you know, one of
the there. He's out there. He's still out there, you know,
because things are good and things work out by the
(06:04):
way they should. All right. We have testimony from a
former Doge engineer who, you know, we were hearing some
wild stuff about this crack team of young hackers who
were going in and fixing the US government.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Finding all that waste and fraud.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Fining all that waste, finding all that fraud. I have
no doubt, Like I was assuming that they were going
to find some weight, Like the government is like old
and creaky and like built by ninety year old. Certainly
like they're going to be able to find some waste,
some fraud.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Hold on seven hundred thousand subscriptions to TV guide that
are still active. No, no, okay.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
This is what we congress alone. Yeah, but yeah, this
guy said that like they were really struggling to find
waste and fraud. They were relatively nonexistent.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Hmmm.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Wow, But you walked in there being like, oh I
know everything, I know how to get waste and fraud
because I think you know the way that was that
the same one where they're comparing it to how like
they know how it is in tech where there is
tremendous amounts.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Of like wasteful spending.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Yeah, and I personally it was pretty surprised actually at
how efficient the government was. Holy shit, this is what
you hear like from people who've like worked in both
private sector and the government. Like the government like is
so it's not like not funded, but it's like it's
not like there's no just like giant wasteful like idiots
(07:38):
at the end of you know, like thirsty Thursdays where
like they yeah, they bring in a fucking bespoke whiskey car.
Everybody's they're like working because they like believe in doing
that thing, not because they were like convinced because they
had like a fucking indoor adult playground and like cool
candy on tap. And you always hear people be like, yeah,
(08:01):
like it's real amateur hour in the private sector, right,
And when you look at the record of things that
have been accomplished by you know, publicly funded adventures such
as the Internet, they just get like taken over by
fucking the private sector and the private sector because we
live in a you know, our religion is capitalism. It
(08:22):
gets like taken over and we retell the story where
it's actually like Steve Job in a garage somewhere actually
made that make the Internet. Go oh yeah, it's Bill Gates.
It's not that his parents were so wealthy. He had
access to a computer before any other child did in America,
and that the government had built the infrastructure for the
(08:45):
thing that he was working on. Born in the fuck man,
just like, well, I guess I wouldn't benefit because I'm
not a white person. But Jack, if you were just
born twenty five years earlier, dude, oh man, the snorting
cocaine with Brian Wilson and coding the Internet, you know.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
And coming up with like really just because I just
think of like how low the bar is for like
our the original scripts, like in Hollywood in the eighties,
not that it was bad, but you're like you were
you were just really roaming in and like it's like
a fucked up ski resort or something.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Man's boobs in and there.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, great, great, great.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Great great resort or something. It's like five movies that
I have that premise, But.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Even then they're still like, yeah, man, this one sounds
a little different than the last one.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
What if we did a replace all A phrase I
just came up with because I'm also brainstorming the internet.
What if we did that with karate and so instead
of it being a fucked up town that is like
run with skiing and then they settle things with skiing race,
what if it was fucked up town that's run by
(09:50):
children's karate, they settle things with a children's karate tournament. Swish,
Hell yeah, just tears and eyes and the boardroom. Unbelievable
the way they speak to the human experience, just like
it's a gift, all right. What if there was more
than one karate kid? What if there were three ninjas?
(10:14):
Count it bang bang way downtown. Let's take a.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Quick break, we'll come back, and we're back, and we're back,
and it's time to boycott his birthday parade.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
Yeah, so we were talking about how, you know, I
think yesterday right that, Yeah, there was you know, some
some grumbling, some suspicions that maybe people aren't going to
be descending onto Washington, d C. For deer leaders fucking
birthday bonanza parade.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
It's not even a good one. It's like, what is
it seventy nine.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
His birthday?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, he's seventy. I think seventy eight. It's not even
fucking that's not that's not.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Because he saw the Bastille Day celebrations his first term in.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Paris and he was like, what the fuck. And I'm like,
first of all, you're not gonna there's no America can't
show out like the French can't in that way.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Just so you know, we're.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
We're a very very sick flavor society of Bland. So
I know you saw that and that looked hype, but
that's not happening here, babe. We are baked chicken breast.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Yeah, unseasoned baked chicken breast.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
You are chicken cordombles. We are baked chicken breadth.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
That's that's cook avon that you saw over there. This
is just just catch up on a fucking chicken tender.
But anyway, the organizers, like we said, expecting to anticipating
rather two hundred thousand people to show up and spontaneous.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
That number out there is they're getting fired. Yeah, they
want to lose their job they're like they're part of
their like the Doje engineer being like, actually, this place
fucking sucks.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Stinks this place, but you know, so there are not
many people showing up, as we found out at least
do it looking at Hotel resu hotel booking. Maybe and
I believe it.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I just don't think people give a shit about Donald
Trump's birthday enough for two hundred thousand people to make
their way to the capital. People love a fucking party, man,
like that. We were talking about how they're can like
having to cancel or not having to but because of
you know, all the corporate funding drying up, Like a
lot of these Pride events are like much smaller, and
like the amount of tourism for these Pride events is wild.
(12:39):
They're like, this is better than a Taylor Swift cont
Like we have, right, more bookings than like Taylor Swift concerts.
We have like more. It's like the fucking super Bowl
for Columbus Ohio, you know, and Columbus Ohio doesn't get
the super Bowl. So these are like people will go
to a party if you throw a good party, if
you're a good one. I think the problem is this
(13:01):
looks like a fucking terrible part. It looks like baked chicken.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Breast, and it looks like every it's like a fascistic
everyone praised the dear Leader. Event Now, I don't doubt
people will go because there's plenty of people in this
cold Yeah, will fawn over deer Leader two hundred thousand.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
They're gonna be able to like build a good crowd
shot for sure.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yeah, and then but don't but you know, someone's gonna take.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
That cheeky wide Oh yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Gonna be like the inauguration all over again. You're gonna
have Sean Spicer just or you know, fucking what's her
face now, Caroline Levitt doing her best. This was while
attended birthday party ever Ever.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
So the other thing is, though political started asking elected
Republicans who are going, just seven of fifty surveyed GOP
lawmakers are planning to actually attend the president's birthday festivities
over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Of course, the biggest blickers of the boot like Marjorie
Taylor Green and Byron Donald's they are gonna be there.
But they're even having like the heads of the armed
survey committees like in the House and the Senate, they're like, ah, yeah, yeah,
I gotta do another thing.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Like Mark Wayne Mullen, who's prettived that they're pretending is
for the army, that's the army's birthday is not even
going to They're like, well, they're like we're actually going,
which makes sense, Like there's actually a huge arms conference
happening abroad that we have to be at because that's
that's really what's going on.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
It's a military industrial complex. It's not these soldiers. Mark
Wayne Mullen, who's also a very loyal Trump person, he's like,
I got my anniversary, like a bunch of people just
have all these weird lindsays not even going.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
So that's wild.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
That's and you're like, what the fuck again, There's been
a lot of mumbling Trumps, like the protesters they fuck around.
They're gonna find out. But honestly, the the funniest shit
is if no one even bothers to fucking protest, like
the thing that would do to his ego.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
I low, like nobody can I think there's gonna be
protests on Saturday elsewhere? Yeah? Yeah, which if we could
get a protest, those bigger than his birthday party in
other cities.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
They are to be trust me, La New York, Chicago,
all the stay yes have these huge Yeah so many
places those are mean much bigger crowds.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
But anyway, this is this is a trend with the
mainstream media though that I just want to like if
I got, if I got to be the editor in
chief of all media. There's these two. There are these
trends that they do, like this being one where they're
they think they're like owning the Trump administration, but they're
really just like acting as fucking hall monitors for the
(15:30):
Trump administration. Like this one where like you're telling on
these people for not attending. You're like fun, like now
it's gonna make them go, right like Politico lindsay, yeah exactly,
or like the fucking people the all the all the
stories about how like Biden deported more people. It's like,
(15:50):
what do you think you're doing right now?
Speaker 3 (15:53):
You're bringing people back into the fold of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
With that, right, Yeah, it's so fucking annoying. Yeah, like, yeah,
what's up, bitch. You can't you can't deport people like
our guy Biden could.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Yeah, right exactly. It's it's all all very very sad,
but you know, we will see what happens. There's this
there's another quote from people that are just not gonna
be just so many people and all this to have
sixty six hundred soldiers and some actors because they need
people to fill up the costumes that they're gonna be
wearing to.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Oh for real.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Yeah, because it's like trying to honor all the like
the conflicts that the US Army has been in since
its inception.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Kind of Oh so they're cosplaying.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Yeah that's what again. He saw this fucking fantastic French
Bastille Day fucking celebration and he's like, I want that,
but old tanks ripping up the fucking ground. Yeah, yeah, Brian,
even the Korean War and Vietnam because Trump believes we
want all of those.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I'm sure, but it's gonna be the Vietnam War as
depicted in Rambo two.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
It's just gonna be Rambo one guy, just as Rampo
as the depiction of the Vietnam War.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Last time, you bet we do.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
And that's actually slashed doone.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Wow, pretty sick? All right? Omaha there was a raid
at an Omaha meatpacking plant and residents sprang to action
there as well. Yeah. Also Rock the state as non
citizens worry that ICE scrutiny is about to intensify in Nebraska.
They're everywhere. Yeah, it feels like they're everywhere. And I
(17:25):
do feel like, again, like as we talked about tomorrow,
like the protests have done some good things by drawing
attention to this story that for a while was just
like do you see those people getting in the way
of ice in like that San Diego neighborhood. But like,
I don't feel like there was as much media attention
on like how fucked these raids are and that they're
(17:47):
happening everywhere.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
They're like that it's so fucked up. How the protesters
broke a window?
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Oh yeah, the raid? Okay, Okay, I see where this
is going. Yeah, I mean the raids are happening all
over the country. There's now Trump is like they're sending
in ice like special response teams to five different states
that are led by Democrats, again to just create the
headlines that it's so bad we have to send in
like the Navy seals of the immigrant kidnapper gang, which
(18:15):
is yes, okay to get all these people who are
peacefully protesting. Shout out to Ellie from Zeitgang who mentioned
to me and the DMS that again, like with this
thing that's happened, because we were just talking about Warren Buffett,
like yesterday, I was just thinking about Omaha. But like,
Nebraska is one of the biggest producers of meat, and
you know already there's a labor shortage there, so like
(18:36):
for every hundred jobs, there's only like thirty nine people
available to do the work. These are the like, these
are the small knock on effects that begin to happen
when you're just absolutely no consideration for what you're doing
who you're doing it to. But America's precious meats. Also,
I don't know if that's a version of the story
that people can attach to that would give them, Yeah,
your meat, I mean, they don't give a fuck, Like
(18:58):
it turns out, it's why it's a press over everything.
But yeah, I mean meat. They're coming for your guns,
they're invading your state, like states rights. Wasn't that your
burger Hamburgers?
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Are y'all fucking for real? Yeah, it's it's It's just again,
this is how we're seeing this all play out. And
I'm always heartened to see that people where they're living
their their first response is to take up for their neighbors,
the people that live in their community. There was a
photo of the lunch room at this meat plaque packing
facility with just all these like lunch like people's like
(19:33):
lunches that they bring to work that were just accumulated
on a pile on a table because all those people
had just been fucking kidnapped by ice. And it's just
like such a really subtle visual, but you're just like,
you just look at that, and you're like, that's someone
who was just going to fucking.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Work to try and make ends meet, and now all
that's left of them is a fucking lunch pail that
was before the Ice agents ate their lunches. Yeah, presume probably. Yeah.
Gavin Newsom also is like, I am the face of
this resistance but not drawing a ton of attention to
(20:13):
anything but like himself, it feels like, yeah, I mean he's.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
He's saying the right things for the most part right now,
but it's just like you're just like, dude, I hate that.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
It's you man. Yeah, don't give it.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You don't give a fuck about trans people, fucking the
actually the actual poor people, you don't.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Yeah, he like went in and like broke up a
homeless encampment like with him with his hand, like it
was like shit all over there the photo op. I
feel like he's gonna like he's gonna be like arrest
me then like Harvey Dent style, and then he's gonna
get arrested and immediately like join the Aryan Brotherhood in prison. Yeah. Yeah,
(20:51):
I'm too cute for prison guys. I need protection. Yeah.
This is the other thing too, with all these raids.
Remember like when the way he's talking about I was like, well,
you know, if you hire somebody who doesn't have legal status,
you're going to be in trouble too.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Where the fuck are they rounding.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
These people up? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Yeah, if that's really the case, And again, that's not
the fucking issue here.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
That's all just double speak to make it seem like
there's any kind of balance like whatever. There's no balanced
application of the law. This is just straight up white supremacy.
You're gone fucking wild. Yeah all right, those are some
of the things that are trending on this Wednesday, June eleventh.
We are back tomorrow with a whole ass episode of
the show. Until then, be kind to each other, Be
(21:34):
kind to yourselves, get your vaccines while you still can't
get your flu shots. Don't do nothing about white supremacy,
and we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye Bye bye.
