Just over a fucking plastic egg. It was so funny
because I got three. My kid doesn't give a fall.
He's just like I found one, yeah, and then I'm
like and then he'll just put it back down. I'm like, no, no, no,
you collect him. He's like, oh, okay, started collecting him.
The other kid, who's like about like eight months older
than him, was flying through the ar trying to catch him,
and but my kids, he still found a ton. And
(00:34):
then when it came to sit down, he like opening
a bunch of jelly beans filled and he.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Was like, oh, which, by the way, the correct response. Yeah,
like he should not be putting loose in there is loose.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
But then he but then like the things that were
like a toy, he was like, oh yeah, you know,
like the little sticky rubber hand we used to just
fucking yeah that like on a long ass thing. He
was fucking loving that. The candy, He's like, nah, dude,

Little bit in the cheeks, Like oh yeah, that's what
You've got a lot of meat in there. That's disgusting. Yeah. No,
I've definitely made the mistake of putting loose jelly beans

we we went out yesterday because our ships wrapped. But
(02:11):
the small Reese's peanut butter cups are kind of you know, porous.
You can smell what's in there, and they're yeah, yeah,

But yeah, I went to early on. I went to
a egg hunt at the Rose Bowl with my my
eldest when I think he was like three, and he
was not of he was he was not there yet
in terms of coordination. To be in a public athletic
competition is essentially what it was to.

Be finding a literal zombie horde.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
It was. Yeah, it was like a locust hoard had
just come through that there was nothing left by the
time he got man out there.

Yeah, I remember it became less fun for me. I
think when I was like eight and I just smoked
my little cousin. Yeah, I fucking he found one egg. Yeah,
I fucking came through. I went fucking found everything. I
didn't want him to have ship. Yeah, and then I
remember then my grandfather really shame me. He's like, Bro,

you prove it? And he said it to me in
this way that really kind of I had this level

You think you're talking to grandpa?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Let me bro, Bro, you remember that you know that fighter.
It's where this guy has a fucking meltdown, like because
he's like like he gets in a like an altercation
with one of the other like ultimate fighters in the
house and he's like, yeah, I remember that. I remember that. Yeah,
(04:35):
And everyone's like, bro, relaxed, dude, and then he starts
crying and he's like, let me bang, bro, and he's.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Crying, Man, I want to do with that man, I
do I do let you? You let you bang, but
in order to be mean, he wanted this. You wanted
to fight something.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, he wanted to just and it was just like
it wasn't a big deal. And guys like, bro missed
me with this ship. What are you talking about to
do something? Bro to your pussy? And the guy's like
what and he's like, come.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
On that and then it just to let me bang me.
It meant let me fight.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Let me this guy. Yeah yeah, yeah. Might have been
my first experience with roid rage. Yeah, just like you
know that little kid rage when you're so angry you
just start crying. You know, it was three year old.
It's probably anabolic steroids and just you know, stunted, Let.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. God damn man, that is brutal.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Anyway, and that's that's why you can look cool that
your grandfather was taking footage of you at the easter.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
D do I do I do let you?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You want to find a bunch of plastic fucking eggs.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Or something to.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
That I can't.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this week trend edition
of dirt th Geist. There's a production of iHeartRadio. This
is the episode where we tell you what was trending
over the weekend. What's trending on this Monday morning. My
name is Jack O'Brien. I'm back, baby, back O'Brien, and
(06:58):
I'm thrilled to be joined as always buy my co host,
mister Miles Grass.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It's black, Denise O'Brien.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
It is never left you.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
How to go?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
How's everything?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Oh cool, dude, don't check the cabinets. Nothing broken, nothing's listening.
I had to strip the bed because some freak pete
on it. Oh, broke into your house and impede on
your bed. Crazy weirdos live in your neighborhood, dude. Anyway,
so yeah, I probably just get you a new mattress.
It's fully fully fucked.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh okay, too real for me, unfortunately, Miles. Well, it's
great to be back. I haven't paid any attention to
the news, but I'm hoping everything has been solved in
my absence. Uh, and if not, I will hold you
personally accountable.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Uh, Before we get into the news, we do like
to let the listeners get to know us a little
bit better, but telling them some things that we think
are underrated and overrated. So you want to kick us
off with some of these things underrated underrated?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yes, first up. Actually, no, that's only one one underrated.
It's underrated. Okay. This is a very specific thing that
I do is using drama from your teen years from
your childhood as a catalyst to reconnect with a bunch
of old friends. Like I'll do this thing where I.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Have the exact same underwritten. I'm just that's very specific.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I do this a lot with my friends because I'm
there's like, you know, within your friend group, there's probably
like two to three people with like the just memory
that's like obscenely sharp still and like the details from
childhood can be like recalled very quickly. I'm one of
those people. My homie Dylan is also like that too,
but there was one. So I sometimes I will just
(08:57):
put a collection of people together that I went to
high school with on the same group threat. I'm like,
I think if I consult these four people and I
just just elegantly hit them all at once with the question,
I can get an answer. And I'll do that a lot.
And it's funny too because sometimes you're like, oh shit,
what's up. Like they'll start talking to other people like, oh,
how you been. What the fuck it's been a minute?
(09:18):
Oh my god? You got three kids? Now, well you
live here. But all that started with me just asking,
do you remember senior year during our year book voting
for superlatives, one of the kids on your book fucking
cheated to try and get best eyes and they had
no business be having best eyes.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Eyes looking eyes like yeah, like no.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I was like, who's got the like the most pretty yeah,
most pretty eyes. There was a dude named Justin Gray
who was like a biracial black kid who had he
he hands down had the best eyes for the boys
like he had like Eric sermon know green eyed bandit
can't stand it wow. And people were like mesmerized. But
(10:05):
then lady who tried to win had the most normal
And this isn't a shot at people with brown eyes,
because I got them too, but it wasn't doing brown eyes,
just eyes, you know, eyes with brown eyes. And that's
when it was and people were like, what the fuck
how is this person? And then some work was done
(10:26):
and I'm trying to get to the bottom of it
is if they were manipulating votes to get there or
if they were throwing away other people's. It was really specific,
and it was huge drama that like honestly for the
last two months kind of ruined this girl's like social
life in high school because like because they're like, how
dare you think you had the Like why would you
even cheat? Like even if you even like you thought
(10:47):
this was gonna work, how dare you?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Wow, can't just that that's one that's so specific, Like
you could probably get away with most likely to succeed
and people would be like, yeah, I could, ye see,
you know, you can like squint a little bit, but
best eyes is like pretty definitive. It was like tallest, yeah, exactly,
you're five eight you know.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, you know, especially when you're juxtaposing that with Justin Gray.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, beautiful eyes, beautiful you got beautiful eyes, six foot
seven eyes. You know, like this dude is not losing
best eyes Like this everybody has the same answer, and
it's it's.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Like nobody was coming from my class crown and my
class clown title like that was undeniable and I put
work in from freshman year for that. Okay, debased myself
in numerous rallies to catch the title.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Did not enjoy it at all.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I fucking wore a loincloth acting like Tommy Davidson in
ace Ventura two Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
For the white gays, for the white gazz Yes, yes,
of course. So you bring those, you bring the script together,
they start being like, oh, hey, how's it going. How
hard do you stick to the mission of getting to
the bottom of well?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Because first you first, it's usually uh, it's usually them
answering directly, oh, I honestly, that happened. It's always a
mix of that happened or like damn, you always remember
the most random.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Shit, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
And then it'll turn into oh I think I remember, Yeah, yeah,
I think maybe what you're saying is right. Nobody had
a fucking answer. I'm about to go on Instagram to
hit up the valedictorian in my class because I don't
give a fuck. I'm trying to get an answer to this.
Because this one kid had also has a fucking insane memory,
like this kid like photographic memory. He knew every single
(12:32):
kid's address and their parents' name from the directory and
he would free kids out. I remember freshman year, because
you'd be like, oh, Miles, your mom's name and you
live here in North Hollywood, and people are like, bro,
what the fuck? It's not a cool way to introduce yourself, right,
you know, no, I remember you? Yeah? He a doctor nolo.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah sounds like a fucking creep to me.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
All right, dermatologist though, so I could just say random,
that's like, doctor, what's up with this?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
The highest calling of earth? It's the doctor who does
the best on tests, I guess, is what a dermatologist?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, it's the best, Jalue, you can.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Get perfect sense. Yeah, this guy was a fucking just
like yeah, okay, perfect compleet loser, Jack, what's something you think?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh Miles, I'm so glad you asked. I'm about to
be the equivalent of the person who studies abroad and
comes back and is like you simply must you might
you might be familiar with this trope. Uh, New York City,
Many New York City. The fact that New York City
isn't a complete disaster. Actually that's with some like with
(13:41):
some car horns there. It is.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Okay, tell me about New York City, Jack.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Miles, the big city of dreams. But everything in New
York may not always be as it seems. Now. I
just you shocked.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I just think it's like, well, what one thing that
I kept hearing from people is that like their parents
are worried about them living in New York City and
like that there's like a lot of people whose parents
have like gotten this message that New York is like
dangerous and like a cesspool and like things are things
(14:17):
are bad. And I mean we hear that about cities constantly. Yeah,
And I think it's because I think there's such a
strong counter propaganda push against New York because if you
go there, you can't help but just be like, God,
damn this this place is a fucking miracle. The fact
that it doesn't collapse on itself, the fact that it's
(14:39):
like that many people doing that, many different things that
many industries you know, just tangled together. It is loud,
it's messy, It is like a fucking mess and it's
it's great. It's just everything kind of works itself out
and like it's it really is a testament to like collectivism,
(15:02):
which is why I think there is so much pushback
from people on New York, Like, so much pushback from
people who don't fuck with cities or collectivism or you know,
they just want it to be like individualism, and so
they just create this version of New York in their
mind that's like scary and fucked up.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Well, I mean, I mean, I guess for a certain
kind of person with a certain kind of regressive worldview,
walking in such a global city where people are just
shoulder to shoulder with people who are completely at all
ends of the spectrum, like next to each other, I
guess that would be frightening. But I wonder if like
for older people, they're just like they're just thinking this
like nineteen seventies time Square or some shit.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Right, Oh, I've definitely seen it. But even then, like
it doesn't they light some shit on fire. But it's
still like remains like that the seventies, like at the
time that people like point to it is like New
York's Nadier. They're inventing hip hop and they're creating so
much like great art and like the next fifty years
(16:06):
of popular culture. It just feels like a daily magic
trick that you know, it is like I read I
talk about eb White, the author of Charlotte's Web, and
there's a good essay by him that like kind of
is called here is New York. That's you know, written
in the forties or fifties or something. But you know,
(16:27):
it's it's all about this, he said, it is a
miracle that New York works at all. The whole thing
is impossible. Every time the residents brush their teeth, millions
of gallons of water must be drawn from the Catskills
and the hills of Westchester. You know. It just it's
a really good essay, but it like kind of makes
this point that like New York doesn't like that it's
(16:48):
so complicated. It's such a wild experiment. I mean, there
there are obviously other cities, but New York has just
so much shit going on, and it's it's so fun.
They fix the G train miles since I was there last,
the fucking.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
G Roosevelt Island.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
No, I was just going around Brooklyn. But the the
G like has the open cars in between. I talked
about that, like in how impressed I was by that
in uh Seoul, Korea, that like all it's like one
long train and you can see from one end to
the train to the other, so that you're never like
alone in a car. Like they got that on the
(17:25):
G now, which historically the worst line, Like the when
when I lived there was pretty fucked up, and now
the G is just.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Beautiful love an open Gangway train.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Open gangway. That's that's what it is. And then also
I think like it's wild because there's still like there
is conservative politics in New York, like quite a bit
of conservative politics. Like they they voted for a Republican
mayor for many years in a row, Juliani and whatever
his name, Bloomberg. We had to ride a taxi and
(17:59):
the taxi TVs now have fucking like Newsmax in them.
They're like doing new like Newsmax stories about trans athletes
and like doctor dru Is selling ivermectin and ship That's
that's what was going on in the New York City taxis.
It's just like I feel like there's like a divide
(18:20):
between the people who ride the taxis and don't The
people who ride the taxis are like this is I mean,
I don't know, I don't know who took who took
over the taxi TVs, but that's oh, I'm.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Sure, you know. It's like everything it's like three olive archs.
So they're like, oh yeah, me, I got I have access.
I can put anything I want to every taxi. Yeah,
but hey New York, I hear it.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I ran into my cousin on the street.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
No you didn't.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah a movie, I know. Just she was. She was
coming from yoga and like Fort Green. We like ran
into her. I was with my kids. She's like, oh,
your son plays chess. He should go to Washington Square Park.
We were like, oh, that's a good idea. Just like
did that got his ass whooped by a lovely man
who learned how to play chess in prison and like
(19:05):
got really good lessons from us.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Just have you shown him that movie Fresh?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Not?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
We haven't done for Sam Jackson's chess, Like he hasn't
watched Being Bobby Fisher, Finding Bobby Fisher, whatever the fuck?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
But that one's wild because you know it's like he's like, bro,
this is a different world, kid. This isn't that.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Like rated r I forget? Yeah yeah, Fresh is like
action movie. Yeah well yeah yeah. He's nine. So we're
still working our way.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
He can learn about an alcoholic speed chess master by
the by the name of Sam played by Sam Jackson.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
You know, there we go, Yeah, we have we haven't
gone gone to that wing yet, but yeah, okay, maybe
we will now.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
But I think it's time. So then you watched nineteen
ninety Four's Fresh.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
It's just cool to see the city through the eyes
of your kid too, because you know just the buildings
and the you know, all the.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Shits on island because all their trash is like compacted
underground because they can't get it off the island. So like, oh,
really actual technology that Walt Disney created for Disneyland to.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Just compact it down and then it's like underground, like
belts take their trash out.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
And then I think it's like incinerated or some anyway
I was. I went on a YouTube deep dive for
some reason on Roosevelt Island last week.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I'm just saying, the people should check this place out.
New York York City site used to be New Answer
you might you might remember it as a New Amsterdam,
but it's now called New York City and there's a
lot of cool shit happened in there. What is miles
something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Overrated? First of all, I just got to say this.
Then this is something I've said some version of before.
Overrated is the potential backlash democratic lawmakers think they'll face
I mean, not that any they fear the backlash. They
won't make sweeping changes because ideologically they're unable to. But
for those politicians that think sweeping changes are impossible because
(20:51):
you're not sure about the backlash, just look at what
Donald Trump is doing and the lack of pushback fucking anywhere.
And this guy's actively destroying the global economy. So for
people who like, I don't know, should we push for
universal healthcare? And people might be up in arms, well,
this all that shit pales in comparison to what is
happening now. And I think people really need to remember
(21:12):
that for everything they're like, oh, I don't know, should
we should we codify protections for trans people or abortions
or things like that.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
It's so scared. Okay, what this motherfucker's doings unpopular.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
You're not gonna get eight million people in the street
over that ship because they don't want it. I'll tell
you that you got million people in the street right
now because all the funck shit that's happening. So first
of all, stopped. I don't want to hear some ship
about unpopular.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Because popular with the people.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
The people should know that. But my real overrated is
the book My World by Margaret wise Brown, author of
the smash hit good Night Moon.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Okay, my World sounds like it's going to be a biography.
Well see, there's a trilogy of books. This is actually
considered a trilogy, the Runaway Bunny to trilogy that starts
with Runaway Bunny, good Night Moon, and then My World
is the final piece. I think most people there's a
prequel to good Night Moon. Yeah, yeah, the Runaway Bunny.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah yeah, it's very It's not as popular, but like
they started bundling all three books. My World came out
two years after good Night Moon, smash hit, Right, I know, right,
good Night Moon, good Night how Jumping over the Moon.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Uh, that shit goes by the way I do. I
do love good Night Moon. I think I think it's
a great one.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Does you know? It's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
It's weird work of like creepy poetry, like my solid
child mind.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
My World also does that ship, but it's like my
boy is a toy bear, Like the rhyming rhyme schemes
all off, like it's all about like my Daddy's I'm
my dad, my soap daddy's soap, My soap, make soap SuDS,
I hope. And it's just like all this, I don't
fuck with the pros. I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
A lot of rhyme Goodnight Moon, isn't that right? I mean,
I guess there's like a couple of moments rhyme.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Yeah, good night, good night, you know, goodnight mush, good
night to the old lady whispering. There's always there's there's
rhymes in there. But the thing, so I started reading,
I'm like, the fuck is up with this book? Like
I'm trying to understand. I'm like, I can't. I'm like, there,
I want to know why people think it's good. Some
people are like, it's talking about the evolution of like
(23:34):
and good Night Moon. It's simpler to my world. They're
like more sort of sentences and this the bunny is
sort of figuring out their world. I did find one
scathing review that I do want to write about my World.
Hillary Williamson wrote that although quote the author's poetic style
and the illustrators familiar scenes convey the same charm and
(23:56):
subtle comfort as the original, my World lacked the focus
of good Night Moon. Yeah, that was the most scathing
thing I get to read, and everything else was like,
it's fantastic. Then I fucking found there was a piece,
like a whole analysis by Claudie Pearson Have a Carrot
edit Pole theory and symbolism in Margaret wise Brown's Runaway
(24:17):
Bunny trilogy, and it's a full on thing about how
Margaret wise Brown was like really into Freud and was
like injecting a lot of like Freudian themes into these books.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I mean, just like you just said, injecting.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
It's very phallic, very injecting. But it was just like
and I started reading it and it's like kind of wacky.
I'm like, okay, because like a lot of it is
talking about at the time, she was really interested in it,
but like, why no one is talking about it was
beyond this sort of academics understanding. All that to say
(24:50):
is zoom out. My world is fucking terrible compared to
Good Night Moon. I don't care if it's like an evolution.
Just as a standalone thing, I'm like, what the fuck
you talk about? Bro? I hate this shit. My kid
loves it, though, so we all, oh really, yeah, yeah yeah.
We always read that one and then ended with good
Night Moon. And then I'm like, this is what I'm
talking about.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
This is the shit. Yeah, there's some like lesser classics
of like in every art form where like you watch
it and you're like, oh, this makes me not like
the thing that I like because because you see the
seams and you see that they just got lucky on
that other thing, you know, all the stuff that seemed
really intentional and like restrained about the language and good
(25:31):
Night Moon, and then and then yeah, like there's some
Doctor Seuss books like that, not even the wildly racist ones,
but like the just ones where it's just like, all right,
this guy, this guy definitely phoned it in on some
days that work.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
The other thing about My World I found out is
that it was published in nineteen forty nine, but in
the seventies, it was by the seventies it was totally
out of print because there's like a moment that was
I guess considered what people had said potentially risk gay
because it was like there are three rabbits and they're
all in the bathroom together, like the like one parent
is like brushing their teeth, one's in the bathtub, and
(26:07):
they're like oh, and then it didn't come back into
publication until two thousand and one. I'm like, what the
fuck is going on with this thing? Anyway?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Margaret wise Brown. I do remember like a late night
Google uh after like you know, reading good Night Moon
and being like, there's something like haunting and weird about that.
Who is the person who came up with us? Who
is Margaret wise Brown? Finding out that she like died
at forty two from an aneurism or something like weird
thing where like she had been feeling sick for a
(26:37):
week and then was like, all right, I'm feeling better
and someone's like, oh, you're feeling better, and she's like,
I'm feeling so good. I'm like gonna do a split,
and like did a split and like that shifted the
blood clot and it like went to her brain and
killed her.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Oh my god, crazy shit. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Anyways, I
don't mean to kicked tart on your name, Margaret, but
I felt like that was maybe a sophomore.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Do better, do better. My overrated is just alpha male
reading comprehension. I just was reading this article about the
alpha male movement and like these camps that you can
go to where you can go to with your kids.
There's one that really embarrassing one whereas like all these
kids and their dads and the kids just keep being like, yeah,
(27:24):
I'm kind of here from my dad, He's like really
wants me to be in alpha Like they like sit
in fucking ice baths, like making unblinking eye contact with
one another. It's it's a good article. I'll link off
to it in the footnotes. No, it's in this periodical
The New Yorker used to be the new Amster.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Damage to ask, how did that go with you and
your kids last week at the camp.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
It's not great. They weren't super on board, but I
got a lot out of it. But in giving backgrounds
to this alpha male movement and the idea of alpha male, uh,
the article mentions that the book that popularized the term
in the eighties was about primates. It was called Chimpanzee Politics,
(28:10):
and it found that alpha males like that there are
chimpanzees in the group that are the most powerful and
like the leaders and ultimately make the decisions. And like
the traits of those chimpanzees are that they are coalition
builders and highly empathetic. They're like consolers in chief. Is
(28:35):
what they called them in the book. They help they
like make sure that nobody gets held down or like
bullied or anything.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Right, because it was like it was a myth, right,
We talked about how that was like debunked sort of
like from a biological standpoint, like the scientific idea of
like the alpha male, right or whatever like that. There
are obviously like leaders of a group, but like.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
The leaders, but they have nothing to do with the
thing the traits that are associated with it by the
alpha male movement. It's the stuff that.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
You're a expirate. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's I give a fuck.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
It's kind of, in fact, the exact opposite, but just
people's ability to take take a work and be like
I'm actually going to take the exact opposite from this,
Like Newt Gingrich like gave it around to a bunch
of politicians in the early nineties and they just from
there because it was Republicans. They just the only thing
(29:36):
they took from this actual scientific study was the phrase
alpha male.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
That's it, that there's an idea that there can be
a super super guy, right who leads it all.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Yeah, I think there are a bunch of studies about
alpha male's but the one they say. Really popularized the
phrase alpha male was this nineteen eighty two book Chimpanzee Politics,
and that found the exact opposite of what everybody says
alpha males are supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Like I'm a bit of an alpha then myself. Yeah, yeah,
that'd be a fun thing. Like no, bro, you're not
actually you're a drone. Yeah exactly, You're not leading shit, bro,
you know.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Which, Let's look at let's look at how these people
are so easily manipulated.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I mean, which is probably closer than being lone wolves, right,
you know, like than anything. Like what they're doing is like, nah, bro,
don't give a fuck, you control everything. Where did everybody go?
Everyone is repulsed by me?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
All right, those are some of the things we think
are overrated, underrated. We're gonna take a quick break. We're
gonna come back and see if all of the news
stories have been solved while I was away.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
And we're back. It seems like still bad, still bad.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Easter weekend was yet another weekend dominated by online rumors
that Donald Trump had secretly been admitted to Walter Reed
Medical Center and or died. This real obsession of the people.
I don't know, I don't get it. What's everybody?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I mean, it was like a thing that always trends,
Like when it finally happens, it's like a thing are
there's always some version of it. Yeah, that's I mean,
there's a lot of I mean, this is the closest
to a bunch of people praying for something, I think.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Right, yeah, this is how we pray. Now. This prompted
White House Communications Director Stephen Chung to posts that Trump
has been working NonStop in the White House in Oval
office over the Easter weekend, which is also clearly a lie.
So now it's hard to know who to believe. On
the one hand, I don't think he's dead, But on
the other hand, that's not true. There's no way in
(31:54):
hell he's doing working through the weekend.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
This is also such a weak defense to their like,
oh my god, his health is so bad. Uh, he's
working all the time. Okay, why don't you respond to
the thing that we're talking about is that he is unwell. Well,
he's working all the time.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Uh No, Actually he's he's working really hard.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
His brain, his cognitive abilities seem to be dwindling.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
He thinks he's working really hard, So we're just gonna
leave it at that.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
We get him a legal pad and he does this
thing where he makes it look like a tornado because
he just does a bunch of circles over and over
and over and over again. It's really cool.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
This was from my test that I that I d
that I did the best test ever Parkinson's test. Yeah,
either way, nailed it, nailed it, swish, look at that
baby said positive. So Easter morning, he of course released
the famous tweet or truth, Open the fucking straight, you
(32:55):
crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just why
praise be to allah?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Oh boy, what because the full thing was because he's
threatening war crimes. Right, sure, Tuesday will be power plant
Day and bridge Day all wrapped up in one, and
Iran there would be nothing like it.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
You'll be living you know.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Just watch.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
This is the closest to him admitting defeat I think
we've seen so far.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, it doesn't doesn't seem like he's coming. He's playing
a strong hand. Yeah, open the open it, you crazy bastards.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Open it, you crazy bastards.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
You crazy bastard.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
What the fuck is this guy. I mean, I don't
even know what I'm saying. What the fuck? This is
what happens when someone who is well beyond their capabilities,
and in fact, now everything he does is negative. Uh yeah,
this is where you're gonna be at. I'm surprised he's
just he's gonna end up posting something like just stop right.
I mean statist.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
People did so, yes, this is the sort of unhinged
thing that he would post. On the other hand, people
were pointing out, Uh, open the fucking straight. He did
fucking apostrophe? Yeah, no way would he do an apostrophe?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Well, in no way is he writing to right. That's
the thing, these crazy bacheters. He can open the fucking
straight and like, oh, okay, I think I got some Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I think yeah. Like, conspiracy theories are helpful symbolic works
that like we should be paying attention to. It's like
some of the most popular fiction being created today. So
in the same way that we like look at the
content of movies that people are enjoying, like, we should
probably pay attention to what the conspiracy theories are. And like,
(34:56):
obviously this one in particular, that he's dead, I think
tells us the obvious thing that like a lot of
people wish it would finally happen all caps right, and
you know, but I also think it like highlights the
weird hyper reality we live in, where like it doesn't
really like the point about him writing fucking is a
(35:20):
good one that's clearly not him, but it's never really him,
Like he's a conglomeration of like different people posting on
his behalf. Like the words he posts are in some
ways treated as like binding and like the work of
a president, and people live and die based on them,
but they're more or less aimed at just like winning
(35:42):
an argument with the internet, more than making decisions on
behalf of anyone. And he is like, yeah, he's just
a brand, He's just like a meme, and yet he
runs the most powerful military in the world, So like
there's there's something unnerving about that that I think these
theories are like kind of working through that, like a
(36:03):
live or dead there's not actually a person there, nobody's
really in charge, Like literally, it's just a series of
like different people posting on his behalf trying to get engagement,
but it's not clear there's a real decision making process
that makes any more sense happening behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yeah, it's like, truly it is. There's a it's a
bunch of people. It's a bunch of freaks in a
Trump shaped skin bag, right basically, and he's there, he
has things, he says. But at the end of the day,
when you think about the people who actually know what's
going on, and that they're hiding stuff from him that functionally,
now you've actually been taken out from any decision making,
(36:44):
when you're like, well, don't tell him how bad it is.
Show him a montage of boats blowing up and say, oh,
all good boss.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Not the fake ones. Not the fake ones that we
blew up that were just drawings on coin.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Of the real ones, the real ones.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Make sure we do the real ones.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
They look like real shit, so didn't they They just
meane it black on the ground.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
We've been attacked. The presidential motorcade almost went through a
tunnel that was just drawn on the side of a cliff.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
These people, the links that they will go to highly,
highly sophisticated stuff.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Bastards, These crazy bastards were dealing with.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
The crazy bastards is like cut like one step away
from rascally rabbit. I feel like, you know, you crazy bastard,
you what what the fuck are you talking about? Then
he uh, he did prove the haters wrong that he
wasn't actually dead at the annual White House Easter Egg role,
where he bragged about the stock market, the might of
(37:44):
the military, the rescue of the downed American pilot while
the Easter Bunny applauded next to him. Man, period, how
far we've fallen? The Easter Bunny. Uh, the Easter Bunny.
By the way, if you didn't listen to last week's
Icons episode, we were talking about how Easter Bunny should
be more uh coated, with more divine feminine energy. This
(38:07):
Easter Bunny had a fucking tie on, Like yeah, yeah, look,
you should know that. Switch it up with the Easter
Bunny he did. It was just so bizarre because, like
you're saying, talking about all these global events, but then
his whole like shout out to Milania.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Too, just to try and bring it. He's he's she's
a movie six big thing, and it was a big
thing to our great first lady who's here someplace.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Literally next to you, literally right next to him. He's
looking at her I think this is our first lady.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
What do you think of our first lady?
Speaker 2 (38:39):
She's a movie star.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Sounds like the fucking guy and dumb and dumber. When
he was he's like my heart, my ulsa.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
If that all wasn't fun enough for the kids. He
proclaimed that one year ago our country was dead. We
had a dead we had an administration that didn't know
what the hell they were doing. That actually factually true.
Today we have the hottest country anywhere in the world
due to climate change.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
But last year, though, you were in charge.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
So you were in charge, brother, brother, this is your
administration that you're talking. He's not, and like that's why
it's so.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
I there have been there have been a few of
the reports about how the twenty fifth Amendment bets are
like starting to fly. Now. I don't know if that
means anything, obviously because but also at the same time, like,
I don't know, man, maybe there's some insider trading going on.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Are we getting any big like insider trading sized bets.
That's when that's when I'll start paying attention.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Just say, odds have been going up steadily and then
but it seems like a lot of people we'll talk
about it tomorrow like after this, like we like even
by his standards like that truth social posts, like a
lot of conservatives like.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
H yeah, yeah, it's hard. It's hard to rally behind
I feel like.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Because then there are some conservatives like how are you
saying all praise to a Llah on Easter, one of
the most significant christianoldays. Like there's some people just like
what is the point of even saying that? It doesn't
make sense? And you're like, he's trying to be exact
disrespectful because he's lost his damn mind and he's always
(40:23):
just been a flippant and disrespectful person.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yeah, that's kind of his whole mode modus operandi. The
Easter egg roll did have a patriotic theme where the
eggs were red, white, and blue. Ok, so red and
blue because bags are white. So that's yeah, that's true.
You got all right, you got us there, you got
us there. But uh, also, just like these corporations who
(40:49):
are all on board with this meta had a booth
that like talk to people about ai YouTube, gave swag bags.
There was a challenge coin crew station hosted by the
New York Stock Exchange and Coke was giving away free
diet cokes, so.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Free if kids love a diet coke, Oh yeah, they're
clamoring for it.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Everybody's favorite Marlborough was giving away free Marlborough lights.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Yeah, did you see? At one point Trump was I
think he was hoping that his great Easter egg hunt
will mean that the midterms are going to go well
for him, because he's like, how did I do the
Easter egg vote?
Speaker 2 (41:29):
How did I do with the voters that do egg
Anybody in the egg industry vote for a low iqber, She's.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
A low iq per. Boy?
Speaker 2 (41:44):
How do I do with the people who do eggs?
Speaker 1 (41:47):
He was, I think talking to like the egg.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Like egg manufacturers.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Yeah, the people that do the eggs. Do you do eggs?
Did I do? Good? Okay, so that's five votes I
can count on. Well.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Speaking of people letting their hair down, Rick Scott went to.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
Disneyland letting your bald head breathe.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
Letting his non existent hair down, proudly informed TMZ that
he has fucked off to disney World because the shutdown
wasn't his decision. So this is Lindsay Graham. I guess
got in trouble while I was away, which funny because
he it wouldn't have happened on my Why if I
was here, I wouldn't have made fun to get off. Hey, guys,
(42:28):
leave Lindsay out of this.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
The tangled section of Disneyland is whimsical. I would have
the same look on my face while holding a bubble
wand oh my god, in a new angle. What a
weird thing for him to Yeah, as he was like,
it was just like the weirdest, Like did you see
that actual picture of him, like in the tangled section?
His mouth agape, like, I'll show it to you. It's
(42:52):
just this is him with his bubble wand wow, wow,
I was holding it for my friend's Okay, dude, whatever,
It's fine either way. It's an elder.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
We've all been there, But Lindsey doesn't have kids. He's
Washington's most eligible bachelor's real poonhound, that guy. So it
was surprising that that's how he spent his capital. But yeah,
Scott knew he was gonna about to be facing some
shit and came through and was like, hey, TMZ, yes,
(43:28):
I'm at Disney with my grandkids. Should we be in
d C. Yes, But I don't get to make that decision,
and then posted a picture of himself, his wife, and
one of their grandchildren unblurred. So he knew this was
going to be a highly controversial post, to the point
that he opens it up like someone who's like mid
(43:50):
shouting match. He really has somebody who starts talking to
you at a point where you're like, oh, you're deep
in an argument that I was not a part of.
Let's just have inside your head.
Speaker 1 (44:01):
You've been talking for twenty minutes inside your head. Huh, yes, yeah,
but I love that. As part of that, he includes
his granddaughter's unblurred face, that that's what the picture is
as a grandfather to a human daughter, grandchild. I believe
this is my Also, his wife's get up is very interesting.
(44:21):
She got like a this skirt Scott was when eye sucks. Yeah,
this is very team coach.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
I know I was Scott. I've definitely seen that look.
I did not see it coming from Rick Scott's but
you know, and.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
They both got the racist Vice principal Brooks sneakers on too.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
Oh yeah, dripping like walking on clouds.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
Man man soak at least soaking like water, okay.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Uh. And then Greg Abbott a few a few weeks ago,
he shared a video.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
Well hold on the follow up though, to that Rick
Scott thing was as a full Florida Republican politician when
the woke Disney wars were going down. Oh yeah, he
was out clearly picked a fucking side on all this shit.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
Yeah. He wrote a op ed for The Washington Examiner
in twenty twenty two title no One wants a woke
mouse in their house. I got rid of my Disney. Plus,
I'm not planning on going back to the park.
Speaker 1 (45:25):
Cut to here you are.
Speaker 3 (45:27):
Yeah, I'm at Disney World with my grand kidds.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
He went on tour with that shit. He was like,
he was writing, going on all the all the Fox
News is to talk about how Disney was over, was
over for them, and then he's like, yeah, I shouldn't
be here, but how am I going to resist the
magic of Disney.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
Yeah, also admitting to the fact that even before when
he like when when all that quote unquote controversy was having,
he was like, I've enjoyed quote I've enjoyed taking my
children and grandchildren to Disney World, and I really had
no problems with Disney. But now, just like many huge corporations,
it's going woke. It's really a shame.
Speaker 2 (46:07):
It's going woke you guys.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
Yeah, well the kids love woke dickhead, So what are
you gonna do? Be like, hey, we're gonna take you
to the actual filming of the new Kevin Sorbo smash
here night at the Bible Museum. Okay, fuck Disney World.
You're gonna like this place, trust me.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
That's what That's what my kids are doing for their
summer break. I'm going night.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
I'm about to sponsor someone's kid to go. Just I'm like, bro,
where this body cam in there? Do some improv?
Speaker 2 (46:33):
Be so fucked up for the kid though.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
I know, I just maybe maybe maybe like a wig
and say, I'm fourteen.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
I've got, you know, like some sort of pituitary situation
going on. Come of big fourteen year.
Speaker 1 (46:47):
Old like a hacker to like just hack into those
security care I just need to know what the fuck
it looks. Yeah, but anyway, oh Rick Scott, you tried,
you tried.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
Let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
Okay, we'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
And we're back.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
We're back, We're back, and let's.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
Get out of Let's get out of Washington for a second.
Let's go to the Let's go to the moon. Oh
you've seen this. You see these guys wearing the orange juet,
the orange astronaut uniforms.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
I've been up on Artemis because they got a toilet
that sucks piss and pooh and they have their own
door on it. Okay, I've been and the toilet stopped working. No, yeah,
the pee thing, the pea tube stopped working. I think
is going on with.
Speaker 2 (47:41):
Our poops and peas. Because that was also like a
big thing that a big story coming out of the
aircraft carrier that was lining up in Iran was that
they were pooping too much for it.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
It got the way that got like that was on fire.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
Yeah, there was big, big plumbing issues. I think our
ships are too big.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
I mean, I'm hopeful, hopefully those sailors just compromised the
mission to be like, bro, we're not fucking doing this. Man,
just set the shits on fire and we'll just we'll
pretend like we can't do anything. But I don't know,
I don't know what the point I thought. I'm not
sure to be to fully be fully transparent. I don't
know what the Artemist mission is about. I thought it
was just about them pooping in space. But I'm learning
that this is one of the first lunar missions since
(48:24):
like the seventy.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
If you if you had watched about thirteen I did
and paid attention, you would have known that they've been
peeing into space since the I.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
Know that, I know that.
Speaker 2 (48:37):
I actual didn't know what the point of this mission was. Yeah,
you know what I mean, your pee and pooh gets
sucked off into space.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
Man, you got me. I'm back in, I'm back.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
That's all it is. That them just explaining that over
and over again. I do. But people are talking about
the fact that this evening, for a period of forty minutes,
they will lose contact with the Earth. We will lose
contact with them, and people are saying like they're going
to be passing behind the Moon. So I was doing
some research on this. Michael Collins had so that they'll
(49:11):
be on the dark side of the Moon. We won't
be able to talk to them, but they'll be able
to talk to each other. Michael Collins had the loneliest
moment in maybe human history, where he was still in
the spacecraft as Buzz and Neil went down on Buzz
light Year and Neil from the Mattress warehouse exactly. They
(49:39):
went down in the landing, the lunar landing, he was
by himself in the probe, in the cockprobe mess cut
off from them and cut off from the world. So
he was literally completely isolated, and his response was relief.
He described the experience saying he felt truly alone and
(50:02):
isolated from any known life, but that he didn't feel
fearer loneliness. In later interviews, he described the peace and
tranquility brought by the radio silence, saying it offered a
break from the constant request from mission control. It's just
like these fuckers won't shut up. God, leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (50:21):
Oh my god, I love that.
Speaker 2 (50:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
There was a thing too when you were gone where
they were for whatever reason, they're like, they're like, I
think we were running two version. We have two Microsoft
Outlooks on our computers.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
Oh no, it is sad they're running Microsoft Outlook. Yeah. Yeah,
so good luck trying to find an email. That's what
I was saying, functioned on Microsoft Outlook.
Speaker 1 (50:47):
Jesus. It's just funny because they're like, uh, this is
this is the clip.
Speaker 2 (50:50):
Yeah, go for it.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
And then I also see that I have two Microsoft
Outlooks and neither one of those are working. If you
want to remote.
Speaker 2 (50:56):
In and check Optimus and those two outlooks, that would
be awesome.
Speaker 1 (51:00):
I got two outlooks and none of them were bro
most of us have one outlook and the shit doesn't
work too So two Microsoft.
Speaker 2 (51:08):
That's wild that like these people who can like figure
out insane technology are like, yeah, but we ran into
a roadblock with Outlook, Like we have a what if
they have like an Apollo thirteen situation, it's caused by
Outlook just shipping the bed. And finally, Super Mario Galaxy
(51:30):
dropped over the weekend to critical indifference, so someoneould say, uh,
dislike oh. One critic called it worse than AI. The
Guardian said the Super Mario Galaxy movie review bland screensaver
of a movie that's actually worse than AI.
Speaker 1 (51:52):
Wow, I didn't even How the fuck did you know
this came out? No? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (52:00):
Shit big news, big news in the world of well
because nine year old.
Speaker 1 (52:05):
Yeah, I know, because my kid doesn't see commercials and ships,
so he doesn't know about like you know, consumer culture
hasn't touched him in that way where he's like, yeah,
this thing come out, this toy is here. I just
realized there was a new toy story coming out in June,
and I was like, oh shit, perfect timing because my
kid is obsessed with fucking buzz light Year. So I've
I've been showing him some of Tim Allen's stand up
(52:25):
because I'm like, Oh, if you like, you can really
like this, This guy fucking rips bro check this shit out.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (52:31):
That's so fucked up land screen saver of a movie
that's actually worse than AI. This is like with Chris
Pratt doing the voices.
Speaker 2 (52:38):
Of oh yeah, Chris Pratt, Donald Glover as Yoshi, but
like Yoshi doesn't really do much, doesn't have enough to do.
Speaker 1 (52:46):
I saw that clip of them on they played yeah,
get played yeah with Matt and yeah yeah, yeah. Oh
that's why they were talking so much about Yoshi. I
was like, why the fuck did Donald Glover give?
Speaker 2 (52:58):
Did ask a really good question, which is like, our
Yoshi's eyes two separate eyes or are they one eye
with two separate pupils. It's hard hard to say, but.
Speaker 1 (53:07):
And you're you know the thing that you love to
talk about, the biological thing about the disc where your
eyes are on the head, whether or not.
Speaker 2 (53:14):
If they're on the side. Yeah, if they're close.
Speaker 1 (53:18):
If it's one Eye One.
Speaker 2 (53:20):
Eye, which focused on killing whatever's in front of them.
Speaker 1 (53:25):
I'm gonna eat this dancing cactus segment by segment. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (53:32):
They also had some weird tie ins with this one
and this. I can't believe that you missed obviously Toys
Breakfast cereals, but a line of Old Spice, but you
smelling like a middle aged plumber I did with the movie.
Speaker 1 (53:51):
I was like, finally, Old Spice is trying to direct
a product at me with characters that I know and
love and understand.
Speaker 2 (53:58):
Yeah, Castle Crush the Old Spice one with with Princess
Peach on the on the front with what looks like
a baseball bat over over her shoulder but it's actually
an umbrella apparental Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (54:11):
Desert detour.
Speaker 2 (54:14):
Desert detour doesn't sound like it's gonna smell good at all.
Speaker 1 (54:17):
No, Like you're evoking a hot environment for a like
a body odor thing. You're like, hey man, and there's
a detour.
Speaker 2 (54:26):
Yeah, Oh, desert is just sounds sweaty and unshallowed, Like
I don't picture being able to shower much when I'm
in the desert, especially on a trip where there are detours.
Speaker 1 (54:36):
Well, I mix. I smell like ammonia mixed with cumin.
So there you go. Sorry that everyone's sinuses are opening.
Speaker 2 (54:42):
Your signature scent?
Speaker 1 (54:44):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (54:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (54:45):
Ammonia and cuma.
Speaker 2 (54:48):
Uh. The movie made three hundred and seventy two point
five million dollars globally, making it the biggest Hollywood opening
of twenty twenty six so far, third highest grossing weekend
for a video game adaptation, behind a Minecraft movie and
the first Super Mario Brothers. So it didn't quite reach
the level of the first one.
Speaker 1 (55:06):
Oh great, but Hollywood will finally learn their lesson.
Speaker 2 (55:09):
To actually not just like rush it out and he's
gonna keep doing half assed version.
Speaker 1 (55:14):
I don't know, dude. We just made three seventy off
of that. Fire it up again.
Speaker 2 (55:18):
I watched this movie. I watched the parts that I
was able to remain awake for. Uh, and you fully
you were that dad.
Speaker 1 (55:26):
I was leaving that.
Speaker 2 (55:27):
Yeah, I was out. Uh. It's and I didn't fall
asleep during the first one. The first one I thought it,
you know, helped. That's a little bits. I thought they
it was better than it needed to be. And this
one was not. This one was just as good as
it needed to be for my kids to be like,
that was pretty pretty fucking sick dude.
Speaker 1 (55:48):
All right, pretty good though, that's what it's made for,
I guess. Although that's where it's like funny where the
content won't capture someone who will actually buy the old spice, right,
But they're like, but the movie is for the kids,
for the kids who know not what old spice is.
Speaker 2 (56:02):
Oh, my toxic masculinity makes it such that I my
children do not wash with anything other than old spice.
Speaker 1 (56:08):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (56:08):
Yeah, it has to be made for a man. They
got to smell good for our alpha camp.
Speaker 1 (56:15):
Well, I guess I guess I'll just have to miss
that one too. But three seventy, that's the thing that's
like really wild. It's like all the reviews are bad.
It's I guess really for children. They're they're fucking with it.
But again, the lesson will be like, Okay, we need
to make five more of these.
Speaker 2 (56:35):
Right, yeah, and what will make them as quickly as
the market dictates, as opposed to what the art dictates.
I do think this is the one that finally gets
Chris Pratt is long overdue, Oscar. He's amazing all right,
those are some of the things that are trending on
(56:56):
this Monday, April sixth. We are back tomorrow with a
whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind
to each other, be kind to yourselves, get your vaccines
where you still can get your flu shots, don't do
nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to you
all tomorrow.

Are your kids still competitive with the Easter egg finding?
Speaker 2 (00:06):
There were cross bodied shots being thrown yesterday.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Just over a fucking plastic egg. It was so funny
because I got three. My kid doesn't give a fall.
He's just like I found one, yeah, and then I'm
like and then he'll just put it back down. I'm like, no, no, no,
you collect him. He's like, oh, okay, started collecting him.
The other kid, who's like about like eight months older
than him, was flying through the ar trying to catch him,
and but my kids, he still found a ton. And
(00:34):
then when it came to sit down, he like opening
a bunch of jelly beans filled and he.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Was like, oh, which, by the way, the correct response. Yeah,
like he should not be putting loose in there is loose.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
But then he but then like the things that were
like a toy, he was like, oh yeah, you know,
like the little sticky rubber hand we used to just
fucking yeah that like on a long ass thing. He
was fucking loving that. The candy, He's like, nah, dude,
these eminem's are like I don't even know, I've never
seen anything so soft before.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
They're like pre softened it up for you.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, yeah, when you put the candy shell in your
mouth trying and get it, like because then I can
get all the candy shop and now it's just a
piece of chocolate, not just piece of chocolate.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, except so so much worse, by the way, I
always did that growing up. But it's like, no, these
are these are designed to be crunched. Three. You gotta
crunch those motherfucker.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Do that with Cadbury milk eggs. They're like the shell
hard shell.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Well, they got a lot of shell to get through,
they got shell to spare.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
That's like eating crab.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Get crackers out.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
You got you got the flyer, the crack flyers out.
I gotta I gotta loosen them up with my That's
why I soak them a.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Little bit in the cheeks, Like oh yeah, that's what
You've got a lot of meat in there. That's disgusting. Yeah. No,
I've definitely made the mistake of putting loose jelly beans
and loose. First of all, we got a fat squirrel
that I think I've told you about. He has absconded. Yeah,
we we went out yesterday because our ships wrapped. But
(02:11):
the small Reese's peanut butter cups are kind of you know, porous.
You can smell what's in there, and they're yeah, yeah,
they're wrapping foil. And one of those was just up
in a tree, just in Smitherings. It's just because of squirrel,
got it. They're like, did not appear to give a fuck.
(02:36):
It was we We had to show him away because
he was coming back for more. That's who threw the
cross body block. Is the squirrel took my took my
nine year.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Old out check.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
But yeah, I went to early on. I went to
a egg hunt at the Rose Bowl with my my
eldest when I think he was like three, and he
was not of he was he was not there yet
in terms of coordination. To be in a public athletic
competition is essentially what it was to.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Be finding a literal zombie horde.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
It was. Yeah, it was like a locust hoard had
just come through that there was nothing left by the
time he got man out there.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, I remember it became less fun for me. I
think when I was like eight and I just smoked
my little cousin. Yeah, I fucking he found one egg. Yeah,
I fucking came through. I went fucking found everything. I
didn't want him to have ship. Yeah, and then I
remember then my grandfather really shame me. He's like, Bro,
(03:40):
he's a he's a baby man. He's like, what do
you prove it? And he said it to me in
this way that really kind of I had this level
of self I'm like, damn, this hearthetic as fuck. And
he's like, if it's about the can, He's like, you
not got the bag where I put all the like
all the ship that's in the eggs, there's just a
giant bag of that ship. So if it's about the Andy,

I can't win. I was seething. Bro. I was like,
I can't go fucking win.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
You think you're talking to grandpa?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Let me bro, Bro, you remember that you know that fighter.
It's where this guy has a fucking meltdown, like because
he's like like he gets in a like an altercation
with one of the other like ultimate fighters in the
house and he's like, yeah, I remember that. I remember that. Yeah,
(04:35):
And everyone's like, bro, relaxed, dude, and then he starts
crying and he's like, let me bang, bro, and he's.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Crying, Man, I want to do with that man, I
do I do let you? You let you bang, but
in order to be mean, he wanted this. You wanted
to fight something.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, he wanted to just and it was just like
it wasn't a big deal. And guys like, bro missed
me with this ship. What are you talking about to
do something? Bro to your pussy? And the guy's like
what and he's like, come.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
On that and then it just to let me bang me.
It meant let me fight.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Let me this guy. Yeah yeah, yeah. Might have been
my first experience with roid rage. Yeah, just like you
know that little kid rage when you're so angry you
just start crying. You know, it was three year old.
It's probably anabolic steroids and just you know, stunted, Let.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Me bang again, let you bang. They're gonna huge hug
it out, guys, hug it out.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Fellow nice punched himself.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. God damn man, that is brutal.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Anyway, and that's that's why you can look cool that
your grandfather was taking footage of you at the easter.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
D do I do I do let you?
Speaker 1 (06:22):
You want to find a bunch of plastic fucking eggs.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Or something to.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
That I can't.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this week trend edition
of dirt th Geist. There's a production of iHeartRadio. This
is the episode where we tell you what was trending
over the weekend. What's trending on this Monday morning. My
name is Jack O'Brien. I'm back, baby, back O'Brien, and
(06:58):
I'm thrilled to be joined as always buy my co host,
mister Miles Grass.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
It's black, Denise O'Brien.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
It is never left you.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
How to go?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
How's everything?
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Oh cool, dude, don't check the cabinets. Nothing broken, nothing's listening.
I had to strip the bed because some freak pete
on it. Oh, broke into your house and impede on
your bed. Crazy weirdos live in your neighborhood, dude. Anyway,
so yeah, I probably just get you a new mattress.
It's fully fully fucked.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Oh okay, too real for me, unfortunately, Miles. Well, it's
great to be back. I haven't paid any attention to
the news, but I'm hoping everything has been solved in
my absence. Uh, and if not, I will hold you
personally accountable.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
All right.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Uh, Before we get into the news, we do like
to let the listeners get to know us a little
bit better, but telling them some things that we think
are underrated and overrated. So you want to kick us
off with some of these things underrated underrated?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Yes, first up. Actually, no, that's only one one underrated.
It's underrated. Okay. This is a very specific thing that
I do is using drama from your teen years from
your childhood as a catalyst to reconnect with a bunch
of old friends. Like I'll do this thing where I.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Have the exact same underwritten. I'm just that's very specific.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I do this a lot with my friends because I'm
there's like, you know, within your friend group, there's probably
like two to three people with like the just memory
that's like obscenely sharp still and like the details from
childhood can be like recalled very quickly. I'm one of
those people. My homie Dylan is also like that too,
but there was one. So I sometimes I will just
(08:57):
put a collection of people together that I went to
high school with on the same group threat. I'm like,
I think if I consult these four people and I
just just elegantly hit them all at once with the question,
I can get an answer. And I'll do that a lot.
And it's funny too because sometimes you're like, oh shit,
what's up. Like they'll start talking to other people like, oh,
how you been. What the fuck it's been a minute?
(09:18):
Oh my god? You got three kids? Now, well you
live here. But all that started with me just asking,
do you remember senior year during our year book voting
for superlatives, one of the kids on your book fucking
cheated to try and get best eyes and they had
no business be having best eyes.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Eyes looking eyes like yeah, like no.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I was like, who's got the like the most pretty yeah,
most pretty eyes. There was a dude named Justin Gray
who was like a biracial black kid who had he
he hands down had the best eyes for the boys
like he had like Eric sermon know green eyed bandit
can't stand it wow. And people were like mesmerized. But
(10:05):
then lady who tried to win had the most normal
And this isn't a shot at people with brown eyes,
because I got them too, but it wasn't doing brown eyes,
just eyes, you know, eyes with brown eyes. And that's
when it was and people were like, what the fuck
how is this person? And then some work was done
(10:26):
and I'm trying to get to the bottom of it
is if they were manipulating votes to get there or
if they were throwing away other people's. It was really specific,
and it was huge drama that like honestly for the
last two months kind of ruined this girl's like social
life in high school because like because they're like, how
dare you think you had the Like why would you
even cheat? Like even if you even like you thought
(10:47):
this was gonna work, how dare you?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Wow, can't just that that's one that's so specific, Like
you could probably get away with most likely to succeed
and people would be like, yeah, I could, ye see,
you know, you can like squint a little bit, but
best eyes is like pretty definitive. It was like tallest, yeah, exactly,
you're five eight you know.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, you know, especially when you're juxtaposing that with Justin Gray.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, beautiful eyes, beautiful you got beautiful eyes, six foot
seven eyes. You know, like this dude is not losing
best eyes Like this everybody has the same answer, and
it's it's.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Like nobody was coming from my class crown and my
class clown title like that was undeniable and I put
work in from freshman year for that. Okay, debased myself
in numerous rallies to catch the title.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Did not enjoy it at all.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
I fucking wore a loincloth acting like Tommy Davidson in
ace Ventura two Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
For the white gays, for the white gazz Yes, yes,
of course. So you bring those, you bring the script together,
they start being like, oh, hey, how's it going. How
hard do you stick to the mission of getting to
the bottom of well?
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Because first you first, it's usually uh, it's usually them
answering directly, oh, I honestly, that happened. It's always a
mix of that happened or like damn, you always remember
the most random.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Shit, what's wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
And then it'll turn into oh I think I remember, Yeah, yeah,
I think maybe what you're saying is right. Nobody had
a fucking answer. I'm about to go on Instagram to
hit up the valedictorian in my class because I don't
give a fuck. I'm trying to get an answer to this.
Because this one kid had also has a fucking insane memory,
like this kid like photographic memory. He knew every single
(12:32):
kid's address and their parents' name from the directory and
he would free kids out. I remember freshman year, because
you'd be like, oh, Miles, your mom's name and you
live here in North Hollywood, and people are like, bro,
what the fuck? It's not a cool way to introduce yourself, right,
you know, no, I remember you? Yeah? He a doctor nolo.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Yeah sounds like a fucking creep to me.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
All right, dermatologist though, so I could just say random,
that's like, doctor, what's up with this?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
The highest calling of earth? It's the doctor who does
the best on tests, I guess, is what a dermatologist?
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, it's the best, Jalue, you can.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Get perfect sense. Yeah, this guy was a fucking just
like yeah, okay, perfect compleet loser, Jack, what's something you think?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Oh Miles, I'm so glad you asked. I'm about to
be the equivalent of the person who studies abroad and
comes back and is like you simply must you might
you might be familiar with this trope. Uh, New York City,
Many New York City. The fact that New York City
isn't a complete disaster. Actually that's with some like with
(13:41):
some car horns there. It is.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Okay, tell me about New York City, Jack.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Miles, the big city of dreams. But everything in New
York may not always be as it seems. Now. I
just you shocked.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
I just think it's like, well, what one thing that
I kept hearing from people is that like their parents
are worried about them living in New York City and
like that there's like a lot of people whose parents
have like gotten this message that New York is like
dangerous and like a cesspool and like things are things
(14:17):
are bad. And I mean we hear that about cities constantly. Yeah,
And I think it's because I think there's such a
strong counter propaganda push against New York because if you
go there, you can't help but just be like, God,
damn this this place is a fucking miracle. The fact
that it doesn't collapse on itself, the fact that it's
(14:39):
like that many people doing that, many different things that
many industries you know, just tangled together. It is loud,
it's messy, It is like a fucking mess and it's
it's great. It's just everything kind of works itself out
and like it's it really is a testament to like collectivism,
(15:02):
which is why I think there is so much pushback
from people on New York, Like, so much pushback from
people who don't fuck with cities or collectivism or you know,
they just want it to be like individualism, and so
they just create this version of New York in their
mind that's like scary and fucked up.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Well, I mean, I mean, I guess for a certain
kind of person with a certain kind of regressive worldview,
walking in such a global city where people are just
shoulder to shoulder with people who are completely at all
ends of the spectrum, like next to each other, I
guess that would be frightening. But I wonder if like
for older people, they're just like they're just thinking this
like nineteen seventies time Square or some shit.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Right, Oh, I've definitely seen it. But even then, like
it doesn't they light some shit on fire. But it's
still like remains like that the seventies, like at the
time that people like point to it is like New
York's Nadier. They're inventing hip hop and they're creating so
much like great art and like the next fifty years
(16:06):
of popular culture. It just feels like a daily magic
trick that you know, it is like I read I
talk about eb White, the author of Charlotte's Web, and
there's a good essay by him that like kind of
is called here is New York. That's you know, written
in the forties or fifties or something. But you know,
(16:27):
it's it's all about this, he said, it is a
miracle that New York works at all. The whole thing
is impossible. Every time the residents brush their teeth, millions
of gallons of water must be drawn from the Catskills
and the hills of Westchester. You know. It just it's
a really good essay, but it like kind of makes
this point that like New York doesn't like that it's
(16:48):
so complicated. It's such a wild experiment. I mean, there
there are obviously other cities, but New York has just
so much shit going on, and it's it's so fun.
They fix the G train miles since I was there last,
the fucking.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
G Roosevelt Island.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
No, I was just going around Brooklyn. But the the
G like has the open cars in between. I talked
about that, like in how impressed I was by that
in uh Seoul, Korea, that like all it's like one
long train and you can see from one end to
the train to the other, so that you're never like
alone in a car. Like they got that on the
(17:25):
G now, which historically the worst line, Like the when
when I lived there was pretty fucked up, and now
the G is just.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Beautiful love an open Gangway train.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Open gangway. That's that's what it is. And then also
I think like it's wild because there's still like there
is conservative politics in New York, like quite a bit
of conservative politics. Like they they voted for a Republican
mayor for many years in a row, Juliani and whatever
his name, Bloomberg. We had to ride a taxi and
(17:59):
the taxi TVs now have fucking like Newsmax in them.
They're like doing new like Newsmax stories about trans athletes
and like doctor dru Is selling ivermectin and ship That's
that's what was going on in the New York City taxis.
It's just like I feel like there's like a divide
(18:20):
between the people who ride the taxis and don't The
people who ride the taxis are like this is I mean,
I don't know, I don't know who took who took
over the taxi TVs, but that's oh, I'm.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Sure, you know. It's like everything it's like three olive archs.
So they're like, oh yeah, me, I got I have access.
I can put anything I want to every taxi. Yeah,
but hey New York, I hear it.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
I ran into my cousin on the street.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
No you didn't.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah a movie, I know. Just she was. She was
coming from yoga and like Fort Green. We like ran
into her. I was with my kids. She's like, oh,
your son plays chess. He should go to Washington Square Park.
We were like, oh, that's a good idea. Just like
did that got his ass whooped by a lovely man
who learned how to play chess in prison and like
(19:05):
got really good lessons from us.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Just have you shown him that movie Fresh?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Not?
Speaker 2 (19:09):
We haven't done for Sam Jackson's chess, Like he hasn't
watched Being Bobby Fisher, Finding Bobby Fisher, whatever the fuck?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
But that one's wild because you know it's like he's like, bro,
this is a different world, kid. This isn't that.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Like rated r I forget? Yeah yeah, Fresh is like
action movie. Yeah well yeah yeah. He's nine. So we're
still working our way.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
He can learn about an alcoholic speed chess master by
the by the name of Sam played by Sam Jackson.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
You know, there we go, Yeah, we have we haven't
gone gone to that wing yet, but yeah, okay, maybe
we will now.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
But I think it's time. So then you watched nineteen
ninety Four's Fresh.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
It's just cool to see the city through the eyes
of your kid too, because you know just the buildings
and the you know, all the.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Shits on island because all their trash is like compacted
underground because they can't get it off the island. So like, oh,
really actual technology that Walt Disney created for Disneyland to.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Just compact it down and then it's like underground, like
belts take their trash out.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
And then I think it's like incinerated or some anyway
I was. I went on a YouTube deep dive for
some reason on Roosevelt Island last week.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I'm just saying, the people should check this place out.
New York York City site used to be New Answer
you might you might remember it as a New Amsterdam,
but it's now called New York City and there's a
lot of cool shit happened in there. What is miles
something you think is overrated?
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Overrated? First of all, I just got to say this.
Then this is something I've said some version of before.
Overrated is the potential backlash democratic lawmakers think they'll face
I mean, not that any they fear the backlash. They
won't make sweeping changes because ideologically they're unable to. But
for those politicians that think sweeping changes are impossible because
(20:51):
you're not sure about the backlash, just look at what
Donald Trump is doing and the lack of pushback fucking anywhere.
And this guy's actively destroying the global economy. So for
people who like, I don't know, should we push for
universal healthcare? And people might be up in arms, well,
this all that shit pales in comparison to what is
happening now. And I think people really need to remember
(21:12):
that for everything they're like, oh, I don't know, should
we should we codify protections for trans people or abortions
or things like that.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
It's so scared. Okay, what this motherfucker's doings unpopular.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
You're not gonna get eight million people in the street
over that ship because they don't want it. I'll tell
you that you got million people in the street right
now because all the funck shit that's happening. So first
of all, stopped. I don't want to hear some ship
about unpopular.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Because popular with the people.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
The people should know that. But my real overrated is
the book My World by Margaret wise Brown, author of
the smash hit good Night Moon.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Okay, my World sounds like it's going to be a biography.
Well see, there's a trilogy of books. This is actually
considered a trilogy, the Runaway Bunny to trilogy that starts
with Runaway Bunny, good Night Moon, and then My World
is the final piece. I think most people there's a
prequel to good Night Moon. Yeah, yeah, the Runaway Bunny.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah yeah, it's very It's not as popular, but like
they started bundling all three books. My World came out
two years after good Night Moon, smash hit, Right, I know, right,
good Night Moon, good Night how Jumping over the Moon.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Uh, that shit goes by the way I do. I
do love good Night Moon. I think I think it's
a great one.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Does you know? It's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
It's weird work of like creepy poetry, like my solid
child mind.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
My World also does that ship, but it's like my
boy is a toy bear, Like the rhyming rhyme schemes
all off, like it's all about like my Daddy's I'm
my dad, my soap daddy's soap, My soap, make soap SuDS,
I hope. And it's just like all this, I don't
fuck with the pros. I don't like it.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
A lot of rhyme Goodnight Moon, isn't that right? I mean,
I guess there's like a couple of moments rhyme.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Yeah, good night, good night, you know, goodnight mush, good
night to the old lady whispering. There's always there's there's
rhymes in there. But the thing, so I started reading,
I'm like, the fuck is up with this book? Like
I'm trying to understand. I'm like, I can't. I'm like, there,
I want to know why people think it's good. Some
people are like, it's talking about the evolution of like
(23:34):
and good Night Moon. It's simpler to my world. They're
like more sort of sentences and this the bunny is
sort of figuring out their world. I did find one
scathing review that I do want to write about my World.
Hillary Williamson wrote that although quote the author's poetic style
and the illustrators familiar scenes convey the same charm and
(23:56):
subtle comfort as the original, my World lacked the focus
of good Night Moon. Yeah, that was the most scathing
thing I get to read, and everything else was like,
it's fantastic. Then I fucking found there was a piece,
like a whole analysis by Claudie Pearson Have a Carrot
edit Pole theory and symbolism in Margaret wise Brown's Runaway
(24:17):
Bunny trilogy, and it's a full on thing about how
Margaret wise Brown was like really into Freud and was
like injecting a lot of like Freudian themes into these books.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I mean, just like you just said, injecting.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
It's very phallic, very injecting. But it was just like
and I started reading it and it's like kind of wacky.
I'm like, okay, because like a lot of it is
talking about at the time, she was really interested in it,
but like, why no one is talking about it was
beyond this sort of academics understanding. All that to say
(24:50):
is zoom out. My world is fucking terrible compared to
Good Night Moon. I don't care if it's like an evolution.
Just as a standalone thing, I'm like, what the fuck
you talk about? Bro? I hate this shit. My kid
loves it, though, so we all, oh really, yeah, yeah yeah.
We always read that one and then ended with good
Night Moon. And then I'm like, this is what I'm
talking about.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
This is the shit. Yeah, there's some like lesser classics
of like in every art form where like you watch
it and you're like, oh, this makes me not like
the thing that I like because because you see the
seams and you see that they just got lucky on
that other thing, you know, all the stuff that seemed
really intentional and like restrained about the language and good
(25:31):
Night Moon, and then and then yeah, like there's some
Doctor Seuss books like that, not even the wildly racist ones,
but like the just ones where it's just like, all right,
this guy, this guy definitely phoned it in on some
days that work.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
The other thing about My World I found out is
that it was published in nineteen forty nine, but in
the seventies, it was by the seventies it was totally
out of print because there's like a moment that was
I guess considered what people had said potentially risk gay
because it was like there are three rabbits and they're
all in the bathroom together, like the like one parent
is like brushing their teeth, one's in the bathtub, and
(26:07):
they're like oh, and then it didn't come back into
publication until two thousand and one. I'm like, what the
fuck is going on with this thing? Anyway?
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Margaret wise Brown. I do remember like a late night
Google uh after like you know, reading good Night Moon
and being like, there's something like haunting and weird about that.
Who is the person who came up with us? Who
is Margaret wise Brown? Finding out that she like died
at forty two from an aneurism or something like weird
thing where like she had been feeling sick for a
(26:37):
week and then was like, all right, I'm feeling better
and someone's like, oh, you're feeling better, and she's like,
I'm feeling so good. I'm like gonna do a split,
and like did a split and like that shifted the
blood clot and it like went to her brain and
killed her.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Oh my god, crazy shit. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Anyways, I
don't mean to kicked tart on your name, Margaret, but
I felt like that was maybe a sophomore.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Do better, do better. My overrated is just alpha male
reading comprehension. I just was reading this article about the
alpha male movement and like these camps that you can
go to where you can go to with your kids.
There's one that really embarrassing one whereas like all these
kids and their dads and the kids just keep being like, yeah,
(27:24):
I'm kind of here from my dad, He's like really
wants me to be in alpha Like they like sit
in fucking ice baths, like making unblinking eye contact with
one another. It's it's a good article. I'll link off
to it in the footnotes. No, it's in this periodical
The New Yorker used to be the new Amster.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Damage to ask, how did that go with you and
your kids last week at the camp.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
It's not great. They weren't super on board, but I
got a lot out of it. But in giving backgrounds
to this alpha male movement and the idea of alpha male, uh,
the article mentions that the book that popularized the term
in the eighties was about primates. It was called Chimpanzee Politics,
(28:10):
and it found that alpha males like that there are
chimpanzees in the group that are the most powerful and
like the leaders and ultimately make the decisions. And like
the traits of those chimpanzees are that they are coalition
builders and highly empathetic. They're like consolers in chief. Is
(28:35):
what they called them in the book. They help they
like make sure that nobody gets held down or like
bullied or anything.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Right, because it was like it was a myth, right,
We talked about how that was like debunked sort of
like from a biological standpoint, like the scientific idea of
like the alpha male, right or whatever like that. There
are obviously like leaders of a group, but like.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
The leaders, but they have nothing to do with the
thing the traits that are associated with it by the
alpha male movement. It's the stuff that.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
You're a expirate. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's I give a fuck.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
It's kind of, in fact, the exact opposite, but just
people's ability to take take a work and be like
I'm actually going to take the exact opposite from this,
Like Newt Gingrich like gave it around to a bunch
of politicians in the early nineties and they just from
there because it was Republicans. They just the only thing
(29:36):
they took from this actual scientific study was the phrase
alpha male.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
That's it, that there's an idea that there can be
a super super guy, right who leads it all.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Yeah, I think there are a bunch of studies about
alpha male's but the one they say. Really popularized the
phrase alpha male was this nineteen eighty two book Chimpanzee Politics,
and that found the exact opposite of what everybody says
alpha males are supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Like I'm a bit of an alpha then myself. Yeah, yeah,
that'd be a fun thing. Like no, bro, you're not
actually you're a drone. Yeah exactly, You're not leading shit, bro,
you know.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
Which, Let's look at let's look at how these people
are so easily manipulated.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I mean, which is probably closer than being lone wolves, right,
you know, like than anything. Like what they're doing is like, nah, bro,
don't give a fuck, you control everything. Where did everybody go?
Everyone is repulsed by me?
Speaker 2 (30:39):
All right, those are some of the things we think
are overrated, underrated. We're gonna take a quick break. We're
gonna come back and see if all of the news
stories have been solved while I was away.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
We'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
And we're back. It seems like still bad, still bad.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Easter weekend was yet another weekend dominated by online rumors
that Donald Trump had secretly been admitted to Walter Reed
Medical Center and or died. This real obsession of the people.
I don't know, I don't get it. What's everybody?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
I mean, it was like a thing that always trends,
Like when it finally happens, it's like a thing are
there's always some version of it. Yeah, that's I mean,
there's a lot of I mean, this is the closest
to a bunch of people praying for something, I think.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Right, yeah, this is how we pray. Now. This prompted
White House Communications Director Stephen Chung to posts that Trump
has been working NonStop in the White House in Oval
office over the Easter weekend, which is also clearly a lie.
So now it's hard to know who to believe. On
the one hand, I don't think he's dead, But on
the other hand, that's not true. There's no way in
(31:54):
hell he's doing working through the weekend.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
This is also such a weak defense to their like,
oh my god, his health is so bad. Uh, he's
working all the time. Okay, why don't you respond to
the thing that we're talking about is that he is unwell. Well,
he's working all the time.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Uh No, Actually he's he's working really hard.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
His brain, his cognitive abilities seem to be dwindling.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
He thinks he's working really hard, So we're just gonna
leave it at that.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
We get him a legal pad and he does this
thing where he makes it look like a tornado because
he just does a bunch of circles over and over
and over and over again. It's really cool.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
This was from my test that I that I d
that I did the best test ever Parkinson's test. Yeah,
either way, nailed it, nailed it, swish, look at that
baby said positive. So Easter morning, he of course released
the famous tweet or truth, Open the fucking straight, you
(32:55):
crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just why
praise be to allah?
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Oh boy, what because the full thing was because he's
threatening war crimes. Right, sure, Tuesday will be power plant
Day and bridge Day all wrapped up in one, and
Iran there would be nothing like it.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Open the fucking straight, you crazy bastards.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
You'll be living you know.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Just watch.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
This is the closest to him admitting defeat I think
we've seen so far.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, it doesn't doesn't seem like he's coming. He's playing
a strong hand. Yeah, open the open it, you crazy bastards.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Open it, you crazy bastards.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
You crazy bastard.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
What the fuck is this guy. I mean, I don't
even know what I'm saying. What the fuck? This is
what happens when someone who is well beyond their capabilities,
and in fact, now everything he does is negative. Uh yeah,
this is where you're gonna be at. I'm surprised he's
just he's gonna end up posting something like just stop right.
I mean statist.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
People did so, yes, this is the sort of unhinged
thing that he would post. On the other hand, people
were pointing out, Uh, open the fucking straight. He did
fucking apostrophe? Yeah, no way would he do an apostrophe?
Speaker 1 (34:23):
Well, in no way is he writing to right. That's
the thing, these crazy bacheters. He can open the fucking
straight and like, oh, okay, I think I got some Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
I think yeah. Like, conspiracy theories are helpful symbolic works
that like we should be paying attention to. It's like
some of the most popular fiction being created today. So
in the same way that we like look at the
content of movies that people are enjoying, like, we should
probably pay attention to what the conspiracy theories are. And like,
(34:56):
obviously this one in particular, that he's dead, I think
tells us the obvious thing that like a lot of
people wish it would finally happen all caps right, and
you know, but I also think it like highlights the
weird hyper reality we live in, where like it doesn't
really like the point about him writing fucking is a
(35:20):
good one that's clearly not him, but it's never really him,
Like he's a conglomeration of like different people posting on
his behalf. Like the words he posts are in some
ways treated as like binding and like the work of
a president, and people live and die based on them,
but they're more or less aimed at just like winning
(35:42):
an argument with the internet, more than making decisions on
behalf of anyone. And he is like, yeah, he's just
a brand, He's just like a meme, and yet he
runs the most powerful military in the world, So like
there's there's something unnerving about that that I think these
theories are like kind of working through that, like a
(36:03):
live or dead there's not actually a person there, nobody's
really in charge, Like literally, it's just a series of
like different people posting on his behalf trying to get engagement,
but it's not clear there's a real decision making process
that makes any more sense happening behind the scenes.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yeah, it's like, truly it is. There's a it's a
bunch of people. It's a bunch of freaks in a
Trump shaped skin bag, right basically, and he's there, he
has things, he says. But at the end of the day,
when you think about the people who actually know what's
going on, and that they're hiding stuff from him that functionally,
now you've actually been taken out from any decision making,
(36:44):
when you're like, well, don't tell him how bad it is.
Show him a montage of boats blowing up and say, oh,
all good boss.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Not the fake ones. Not the fake ones that we
blew up that were just drawings on coin.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Of the real ones, the real ones.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Make sure we do the real ones.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
They look like real shit, so didn't they They just
meane it black on the ground.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
We've been attacked. The presidential motorcade almost went through a
tunnel that was just drawn on the side of a cliff.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
These people, the links that they will go to highly,
highly sophisticated stuff.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Bastards, These crazy bastards were dealing with.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
The crazy bastards is like cut like one step away
from rascally rabbit. I feel like, you know, you crazy bastard,
you what what the fuck are you talking about? Then
he uh, he did prove the haters wrong that he
wasn't actually dead at the annual White House Easter Egg role,
where he bragged about the stock market, the might of
(37:44):
the military, the rescue of the downed American pilot while
the Easter Bunny applauded next to him. Man, period, how
far we've fallen? The Easter Bunny. Uh, the Easter Bunny.
By the way, if you didn't listen to last week's
Icons episode, we were talking about how Easter Bunny should
be more uh coated, with more divine feminine energy. This
(38:07):
Easter Bunny had a fucking tie on, Like yeah, yeah, look,
you should know that. Switch it up with the Easter
Bunny he did. It was just so bizarre because, like
you're saying, talking about all these global events, but then
his whole like shout out to Milania.
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Too, just to try and bring it. He's he's she's
a movie six big thing, and it was a big
thing to our great first lady who's here someplace.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
Literally next to you, literally right next to him. He's
looking at her I think this is our first lady.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
What do you think of our first lady?
Speaker 2 (38:39):
She's a movie star.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Sounds like the fucking guy and dumb and dumber. When
he was he's like my heart, my ulsa.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
If that all wasn't fun enough for the kids. He
proclaimed that one year ago our country was dead. We
had a dead we had an administration that didn't know
what the hell they were doing. That actually factually true.
Today we have the hottest country anywhere in the world
due to climate change.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
But last year, though, you were in charge.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
So you were in charge, brother, brother, this is your
administration that you're talking. He's not, and like that's why
it's so.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
I there have been there have been a few of
the reports about how the twenty fifth Amendment bets are
like starting to fly. Now. I don't know if that
means anything, obviously because but also at the same time, like,
I don't know, man, maybe there's some insider trading going on.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Are we getting any big like insider trading sized bets.
That's when that's when I'll start paying attention.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Just say, odds have been going up steadily and then
but it seems like a lot of people we'll talk
about it tomorrow like after this, like we like even
by his standards like that truth social posts, like a
lot of conservatives like.
Speaker 2 (39:58):
H yeah, yeah, it's hard. It's hard to rally behind
I feel like.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Because then there are some conservatives like how are you
saying all praise to a Llah on Easter, one of
the most significant christianoldays. Like there's some people just like
what is the point of even saying that? It doesn't
make sense? And you're like, he's trying to be exact
disrespectful because he's lost his damn mind and he's always
(40:23):
just been a flippant and disrespectful person.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Yeah, that's kind of his whole mode modus operandi. The
Easter egg roll did have a patriotic theme where the
eggs were red, white, and blue. Ok, so red and
blue because bags are white. So that's yeah, that's true.
You got all right, you got us there, you got
us there. But uh, also, just like these corporations who
(40:49):
are all on board with this meta had a booth
that like talk to people about ai YouTube, gave swag bags.
There was a challenge coin crew station hosted by the
New York Stock Exchange and Coke was giving away free
diet cokes, so.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Free if kids love a diet coke, Oh yeah, they're
clamoring for it.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
Everybody's favorite Marlborough was giving away free Marlborough lights.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Yeah, did you see? At one point Trump was I
think he was hoping that his great Easter egg hunt
will mean that the midterms are going to go well
for him, because he's like, how did I do the
Easter egg vote?
Speaker 2 (41:29):
How did I do with the voters that do egg
Anybody in the egg industry vote for a low iqber, She's.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
A low iq per. Boy?
Speaker 2 (41:44):
How do I do with the people who do eggs?
Speaker 1 (41:47):
He was, I think talking to like the egg.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Like egg manufacturers.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Yeah, the people that do the eggs. Do you do eggs?
Did I do? Good? Okay, so that's five votes I
can count on. Well.
Speaker 2 (42:00):
Speaking of people letting their hair down, Rick Scott went to.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
Disneyland letting your bald head breathe.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
Letting his non existent hair down, proudly informed TMZ that
he has fucked off to disney World because the shutdown
wasn't his decision. So this is Lindsay Graham. I guess
got in trouble while I was away, which funny because
he it wouldn't have happened on my Why if I
was here, I wouldn't have made fun to get off. Hey, guys,
(42:28):
leave Lindsay out of this.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
The tangled section of Disneyland is whimsical. I would have
the same look on my face while holding a bubble
wand oh my god, in a new angle. What a
weird thing for him to Yeah, as he was like,
it was just like the weirdest, Like did you see
that actual picture of him, like in the tangled section?
His mouth agape, like, I'll show it to you. It's
(42:52):
just this is him with his bubble wand wow, wow,
I was holding it for my friend's Okay, dude, whatever,
It's fine either way. It's an elder.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
We've all been there, But Lindsey doesn't have kids. He's
Washington's most eligible bachelor's real poonhound, that guy. So it
was surprising that that's how he spent his capital. But yeah,
Scott knew he was gonna about to be facing some
shit and came through and was like, hey, TMZ, yes,
(43:28):
I'm at Disney with my grandkids. Should we be in
d C. Yes, But I don't get to make that decision,
and then posted a picture of himself, his wife, and
one of their grandchildren unblurred. So he knew this was
going to be a highly controversial post, to the point
that he opens it up like someone who's like mid
(43:50):
shouting match. He really has somebody who starts talking to
you at a point where you're like, oh, you're deep
in an argument that I was not a part of.
Let's just have inside your head.
Speaker 1 (44:01):
You've been talking for twenty minutes inside your head. Huh, yes, yeah,
but I love that. As part of that, he includes
his granddaughter's unblurred face, that that's what the picture is
as a grandfather to a human daughter, grandchild. I believe
this is my Also, his wife's get up is very interesting.
(44:21):
She got like a this skirt Scott was when eye sucks. Yeah,
this is very team coach.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
I know I was Scott. I've definitely seen that look.
I did not see it coming from Rick Scott's but
you know, and.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
They both got the racist Vice principal Brooks sneakers on too.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
Oh yeah, dripping like walking on clouds.
Speaker 1 (44:45):
Man man soak at least soaking like water, okay.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Uh. And then Greg Abbott a few a few weeks ago,
he shared a video.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
Well hold on the follow up though, to that Rick
Scott thing was as a full Florida Republican politician when
the woke Disney wars were going down. Oh yeah, he
was out clearly picked a fucking side on all this shit.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
Yeah. He wrote a op ed for The Washington Examiner
in twenty twenty two title no One wants a woke
mouse in their house. I got rid of my Disney. Plus,
I'm not planning on going back to the park.
Speaker 1 (45:25):
Cut to here you are.
Speaker 3 (45:27):
Yeah, I'm at Disney World with my grand kidds.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
He went on tour with that shit. He was like,
he was writing, going on all the all the Fox
News is to talk about how Disney was over, was
over for them, and then he's like, yeah, I shouldn't
be here, but how am I going to resist the
magic of Disney.
Speaker 1 (45:48):
Yeah, also admitting to the fact that even before when
he like when when all that quote unquote controversy was having,
he was like, I've enjoyed quote I've enjoyed taking my
children and grandchildren to Disney World, and I really had
no problems with Disney. But now, just like many huge corporations,
it's going woke. It's really a shame.
Speaker 2 (46:07):
It's going woke you guys.
Speaker 1 (46:09):
Yeah, well the kids love woke dickhead, So what are
you gonna do? Be like, hey, we're gonna take you
to the actual filming of the new Kevin Sorbo smash
here night at the Bible Museum. Okay, fuck Disney World.
You're gonna like this place, trust me.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
That's what That's what my kids are doing for their
summer break. I'm going night.
Speaker 1 (46:26):
I'm about to sponsor someone's kid to go. Just I'm like, bro,
where this body cam in there? Do some improv?
Speaker 2 (46:33):
Be so fucked up for the kid though.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
I know, I just maybe maybe maybe like a wig
and say, I'm fourteen.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
I've got, you know, like some sort of pituitary situation
going on. Come of big fourteen year.
Speaker 1 (46:47):
Old like a hacker to like just hack into those
security care I just need to know what the fuck
it looks. Yeah, but anyway, oh Rick Scott, you tried,
you tried.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
Let's take a quick break.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
Okay, we'll be right back.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
And we're back.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
We're back, We're back, and let's.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
Get out of Let's get out of Washington for a second.
Let's go to the Let's go to the moon. Oh
you've seen this. You see these guys wearing the orange juet,
the orange astronaut uniforms.
Speaker 1 (47:24):
I've been up on Artemis because they got a toilet
that sucks piss and pooh and they have their own
door on it. Okay, I've been and the toilet stopped working. No, yeah,
the pee thing, the pea tube stopped working. I think
is going on with.
Speaker 2 (47:41):
Our poops and peas. Because that was also like a
big thing that a big story coming out of the
aircraft carrier that was lining up in Iran was that
they were pooping too much for it.
Speaker 1 (47:54):
It got the way that got like that was on fire.
Speaker 2 (47:58):
Yeah, there was big, big plumbing issues. I think our
ships are too big.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
I mean, I'm hopeful, hopefully those sailors just compromised the
mission to be like, bro, we're not fucking doing this. Man,
just set the shits on fire and we'll just we'll
pretend like we can't do anything. But I don't know,
I don't know what the point I thought. I'm not
sure to be to fully be fully transparent. I don't
know what the Artemist mission is about. I thought it
was just about them pooping in space. But I'm learning
that this is one of the first lunar missions since
(48:24):
like the seventy.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
If you if you had watched about thirteen I did
and paid attention, you would have known that they've been
peeing into space since the I.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
Know that, I know that.
Speaker 2 (48:37):
I actual didn't know what the point of this mission was. Yeah,
you know what I mean, your pee and pooh gets
sucked off into space.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
Man, you got me. I'm back in, I'm back.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
That's all it is. That them just explaining that over
and over again. I do. But people are talking about
the fact that this evening, for a period of forty minutes,
they will lose contact with the Earth. We will lose
contact with them, and people are saying like they're going
to be passing behind the Moon. So I was doing
some research on this. Michael Collins had so that they'll
(49:11):
be on the dark side of the Moon. We won't
be able to talk to them, but they'll be able
to talk to each other. Michael Collins had the loneliest
moment in maybe human history, where he was still in
the spacecraft as Buzz and Neil went down on Buzz
light Year and Neil from the Mattress warehouse exactly. They
(49:39):
went down in the landing, the lunar landing, he was
by himself in the probe, in the cockprobe mess cut
off from them and cut off from the world. So
he was literally completely isolated, and his response was relief.
He described the experience saying he felt truly alone and
(50:02):
isolated from any known life, but that he didn't feel
fearer loneliness. In later interviews, he described the peace and
tranquility brought by the radio silence, saying it offered a
break from the constant request from mission control. It's just
like these fuckers won't shut up. God, leave me alone.
Speaker 1 (50:21):
Oh my god, I love that.
Speaker 2 (50:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
There was a thing too when you were gone where
they were for whatever reason, they're like, they're like, I
think we were running two version. We have two Microsoft
Outlooks on our computers.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
Oh no, it is sad they're running Microsoft Outlook. Yeah. Yeah,
so good luck trying to find an email. That's what
I was saying, functioned on Microsoft Outlook.
Speaker 1 (50:47):
Jesus. It's just funny because they're like, uh, this is
this is the clip.
Speaker 2 (50:50):
Yeah, go for it.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
And then I also see that I have two Microsoft
Outlooks and neither one of those are working. If you
want to remote.
Speaker 2 (50:56):
In and check Optimus and those two outlooks, that would
be awesome.
Speaker 1 (51:00):
I got two outlooks and none of them were bro
most of us have one outlook and the shit doesn't
work too So two Microsoft.
Speaker 2 (51:08):
That's wild that like these people who can like figure
out insane technology are like, yeah, but we ran into
a roadblock with Outlook, Like we have a what if
they have like an Apollo thirteen situation, it's caused by
Outlook just shipping the bed. And finally, Super Mario Galaxy
(51:30):
dropped over the weekend to critical indifference, so someoneould say, uh,
dislike oh. One critic called it worse than AI. The
Guardian said the Super Mario Galaxy movie review bland screensaver
of a movie that's actually worse than AI.
Speaker 1 (51:52):
Wow, I didn't even How the fuck did you know
this came out? No? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (52:00):
Shit big news, big news in the world of well
because nine year old.
Speaker 1 (52:05):
Yeah, I know, because my kid doesn't see commercials and ships,
so he doesn't know about like you know, consumer culture
hasn't touched him in that way where he's like, yeah,
this thing come out, this toy is here. I just
realized there was a new toy story coming out in June,
and I was like, oh shit, perfect timing because my
kid is obsessed with fucking buzz light Year. So I've
I've been showing him some of Tim Allen's stand up
(52:25):
because I'm like, Oh, if you like, you can really
like this, This guy fucking rips bro check this shit out.
Speaker 2 (52:31):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (52:31):
That's so fucked up land screen saver of a movie
that's actually worse than AI. This is like with Chris
Pratt doing the voices.
Speaker 2 (52:38):
Of oh yeah, Chris Pratt, Donald Glover as Yoshi, but
like Yoshi doesn't really do much, doesn't have enough to do.
Speaker 1 (52:46):
I saw that clip of them on they played yeah,
get played yeah with Matt and yeah yeah, yeah. Oh
that's why they were talking so much about Yoshi. I
was like, why the fuck did Donald Glover give?
Speaker 2 (52:58):
Did ask a really good question, which is like, our
Yoshi's eyes two separate eyes or are they one eye
with two separate pupils. It's hard hard to say, but.
Speaker 1 (53:07):
And you're you know the thing that you love to
talk about, the biological thing about the disc where your
eyes are on the head, whether or not.
Speaker 2 (53:14):
If they're on the side. Yeah, if they're close.
Speaker 1 (53:18):
If it's one Eye One.
Speaker 2 (53:20):
Eye, which focused on killing whatever's in front of them.
Speaker 1 (53:25):
I'm gonna eat this dancing cactus segment by segment. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (53:32):
They also had some weird tie ins with this one
and this. I can't believe that you missed obviously Toys
Breakfast cereals, but a line of Old Spice, but you
smelling like a middle aged plumber I did with the movie.
Speaker 1 (53:51):
I was like, finally, Old Spice is trying to direct
a product at me with characters that I know and
love and understand.
Speaker 2 (53:58):
Yeah, Castle Crush the Old Spice one with with Princess
Peach on the on the front with what looks like
a baseball bat over over her shoulder but it's actually
an umbrella apparental Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (54:11):
Desert detour.
Speaker 2 (54:14):
Desert detour doesn't sound like it's gonna smell good at all.
Speaker 1 (54:17):
No, Like you're evoking a hot environment for a like
a body odor thing. You're like, hey man, and there's
a detour.
Speaker 2 (54:26):
Yeah, Oh, desert is just sounds sweaty and unshallowed, Like
I don't picture being able to shower much when I'm
in the desert, especially on a trip where there are detours.
Speaker 1 (54:36):
Well, I mix. I smell like ammonia mixed with cumin.
So there you go. Sorry that everyone's sinuses are opening.
Speaker 2 (54:42):
Your signature scent?
Speaker 1 (54:44):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (54:45):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (54:45):
Ammonia and cuma.
Speaker 2 (54:48):
Uh. The movie made three hundred and seventy two point
five million dollars globally, making it the biggest Hollywood opening
of twenty twenty six so far, third highest grossing weekend
for a video game adaptation, behind a Minecraft movie and
the first Super Mario Brothers. So it didn't quite reach
the level of the first one.
Speaker 1 (55:06):
Oh great, but Hollywood will finally learn their lesson.
Speaker 2 (55:09):
To actually not just like rush it out and he's
gonna keep doing half assed version.
Speaker 1 (55:14):
I don't know, dude. We just made three seventy off
of that. Fire it up again.
Speaker 2 (55:18):
I watched this movie. I watched the parts that I
was able to remain awake for. Uh, and you fully
you were that dad.
Speaker 1 (55:26):
I was leaving that.
Speaker 2 (55:27):
Yeah, I was out. Uh. It's and I didn't fall
asleep during the first one. The first one I thought it,
you know, helped. That's a little bits. I thought they
it was better than it needed to be. And this
one was not. This one was just as good as
it needed to be for my kids to be like,
that was pretty pretty fucking sick dude.
Speaker 1 (55:48):
All right, pretty good though, that's what it's made for,
I guess. Although that's where it's like funny where the
content won't capture someone who will actually buy the old spice, right,
But they're like, but the movie is for the kids,
for the kids who know not what old spice is.
Speaker 2 (56:02):
Oh, my toxic masculinity makes it such that I my
children do not wash with anything other than old spice.
Speaker 1 (56:08):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (56:08):
Yeah, it has to be made for a man. They
got to smell good for our alpha camp.
Speaker 1 (56:15):
Well, I guess I guess I'll just have to miss
that one too. But three seventy, that's the thing that's
like really wild. It's like all the reviews are bad.
It's I guess really for children. They're they're fucking with it.
But again, the lesson will be like, Okay, we need
to make five more of these.
Speaker 2 (56:35):
Right, yeah, and what will make them as quickly as
the market dictates, as opposed to what the art dictates.
I do think this is the one that finally gets
Chris Pratt is long overdue, Oscar. He's amazing all right,
those are some of the things that are trending on
(56:56):
this Monday, April sixth. We are back tomorrow with a
whole last episode of the show. Until then, be kind
to each other, be kind to yourselves, get your vaccines
where you still can get your flu shots, don't do
nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to you
all tomorrow.
