Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of TDZ
Colin the Daddy's Zone Daddy's Own He's back, baby, Hello
Daddy the Daddy's Zone. He's getting back. Thank you, thank you,
(00:22):
thank you. This is uh, this is something else to
be back in the warm digital embrace of all the listeners.
But yeah, I'm I don't even know what to say,
Like I have so much to say that I don't
know where to start. Um, but um yeah, we also
already recorded your first episode back that comes out tomorrow.
So and it's terrible. It's awful. It's so bad. You guys,
(00:44):
it's a fucking mess, praying so hard on like you going, Emma,
what do you think about that? And I'm like about
what what? What? You being a dad? Ah? Yeah, dude,
blowout sometime like what I mean, that was the first
thing I brought up with you, was blowouts. Like I said,
(01:07):
they are very well. That's how I communicate with shout out, hoops,
am I right, Just shout out to all the medical
professionals along the way. You realize how much a good,
good hospital can do for you when you have a
very very long labor and delivery. Oh my god, oh man, yeah,
(01:29):
it was. Look, it was it was quite. It was
quite eventful, I will say. But everybody's doing well. Everybody's
doing well. The baby is beautiful. I keep using that phrase.
I'm sorry if it's come jealous, but you're you're jealous.
I keep telling her, majesty, I'm like, it is a
beautiful blend. But because really look like you with hair.
(01:51):
Yea so great head of hair. I came out with
a full head when I was born. But damn this,
this young young young lad is doing it. Child, the
geist Child, the geist child. I love it. That's gotta
be some there's gotta be some great uh Christmas, like
medieval Christmas him yea geist child songs come in our way?
(02:16):
All right, you're ready to get back into the fucking news. Yeah? Yeah,
what else? What's going on? Yeah, tell me about it.
So as you know, as you may have heard, Trump
is trying to get handcuffed so he can look tough,
look tough. Hey, don't king shame you know he might
be that's mighty to be. Yeah, he's like, I think
it really cool for me. And then so we we
(02:38):
talked about how these AI images that were generated of
him were very flattering a bunch of AI images of
him being arrested were circulated on Twitter, and people were
like twitters trying to you know, make Trump, make it
seem like Trump's under arrest, and I was like, they
make him look better than like he looks wild athletic
(03:02):
compared to what he really like. This man is just
standing on lock knees at all times, just trying to
like kind of stilt his way around. And you know,
in some of these images he's just he looks like
a you know, running back. Yeah, oh yeah, he looks
like Jerome bettis like just trying to blow it up,
like he's like, get the fuck out my way, head down.
(03:24):
Michael Stott got nothing on me. I think it's just
jarring to see any amount of motion blur on a
Trump photo. It should have turned the motion blur, you
know what I mean. It's but no, I'm saying in
that sense, you're like, he ain't dynamic like that. To
your point, he's like rigid and fixed and all his photos.
So I'm sure he's loving that because he's like, well,
(03:46):
look at that, I've got four legs in that picture.
I mean on three cops exactly have the most legs
of anybody who's ever been arrested. The whole thing has
felt like and like it's part of, you know, a
plan by him him to get attention, to play into
the persecution complex of him and his supporters. We talked
(04:07):
a little bit on tomorrow's episode about how he's raising
money off of it. But those images bookoo bucks or
bucks as touch on. Um, this is just a trailer
for tomorrow's episode. But yeah, yeah, I don't know if
he got the idea looking at those same images and
he was like, oh, this like kind of frees me
(04:27):
up to explore the studio space of what it would
be like to kneel, for instance, because now he's circulating
images or at least a image of himself kneeling in
prayer in a manner that is absolutely physiologically impossible for him.
Based on this is like just he found some AI art.
Yeah it just found was like yeah, print it. Um.
(04:51):
So I don't know he's got if he found the
AI art or if he has like people working for
him generating this ship. But this all feels like he's
he's getting exactly what he wants. Yeah, I mean, it's
just it's a it's a weird one for him, because like,
I get that he's trying to make a martyr of himself,
but like the January sixth stuff, you understand, there's just
(05:14):
a little more emotional weight and momentum to that. Like
you can get people to be like they're stealing your country,
you know, and get people invested. But right now he's like,
they're not letting me get away with paying hundreds of
thousands of dollars to someone had an extramarital affair with
and save me that one. Not many people can relate
to that shit, So I guess maybe this is how
(05:36):
he helps add the drama to it. But again it's
I mean, like you said, the most it's done is
really just gotten people to empty their pockets rather than
show up in physical space. But yeah, which is also shocking.
He hit the caps lock key and threw it away,
pride it off of this keyboard. Because that's that's the
level where what do you think the next aim is
(05:58):
going to be of Trump that he posts? Is it
gonna be something? So yeah, I was gonna say, like, yeah,
fbis all crowded around him and he just explodes from
the pack and dunks. You probably forgot about that in
the two thousand Olympics Team usavers Team France when I
(06:18):
jumped over that motherfucker dunked on him, and you're like,
right over, Robert Mueller. I'm like, that's a Vince Card. Okay,
all right, Afroman is back. Woof. He got raided by
police a while back on some bullshit charges and they
found nothing at his home. Yeah, he was never charged
(06:39):
with a crime. And he had all of these like
these raids captured on his own home security system. And
guess what he did. He made two music videos out
of like the bumbling sheriffs being like, where's the fucking shit?
Not finding a damn thing and looking stupid. But track
called Lemon Poundcake and another one is called will you
help Repair Door? Because the story and because of that,
(07:04):
the officers are now filing a lawsuit against him for
using that footage because they have face quote embarrassment, ridicule
and humiliation and a loss of pumentation. Yeah y'all are police,
You had no repute, Like loss of reputation comes with
that badge, so miss me with that part. But they've
truly tried to turn this into they are the fucking
(07:26):
victims here and I'd imagine that, you know, Like I
know there's like a lot of talk about like, well,
when can you film the police or not? But my
understanding is like when you're filming within your own home
and they're bursting through your door, Jen, Yeah, I think
that's okay. So anyway, these cops are really going all
in and they're just trying to say, like, I don't
(07:47):
know what I'm gonna do. They used, they used to
their personas without authorization and violated their right to privacy.
They're blown up on TikTok some of those cops. So
I mean that's that's a material aerial damage to their careers.
Their personas fucked out of here. Like if anything, you're
trying to go undercover, you don't want a persona right.
(08:12):
How they're just so consistently bad at their jobs, just
always like they heard because I got high and like
put together a massive like investigation, Like how are they
so bad all the time? Yeah? With the funniest part
to me too, is like in their criminal like or
their complaint against him, they're like they put them on Facebook,
(08:33):
Snapchat and TikTok and this but at tict okay, but
they didn't even know how this no TikTok? That nice,
So good luck with that. In this damn inflation news,
the one dollar New York pizza slice is no more.
We talked that it was going away, but the last one,
the last pie three offering one dollar slices pizza, it
(08:58):
is no more. You can kiss that fucking goodbye and
you can tell your kids. Jack. Now you could be like, hey,
im dad used to get these dollars slices in New
York and what are you talking about? You mean six
dollar slices? Like, no, they were one dollar back then,
but yeah, they've they've raised the price to a dollar fifty.
So you know, a dollar slice was just it felt
(09:19):
like that feels like a human right, yeah, you know,
or like a constitutional right that like you should be
able to get a dollar slice. Where were you on
that one, Biden? Come on, man, yeah, where were you instead?
You're raw rying Obamacare today, But yeah, talk about the
death of the dollar slice. You know, I think they
look at just they're they're saying, you know, it's inflation,
like fucking everything. It costs too much in this dollar
(09:42):
labor plus labor, you know, which we can't even afford
because he wants to work anymore. Exactly. We can't even
get people to work for dollars slices. All right, let's
take a quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back.
(10:07):
We talked about the Gwyneth Paltrow uh suit on yesterday's episode.
But Miles, you said you sighed with Gwyneth, right, You're like, yeah,
you should be able to ski. However she won. Look,
my whole skiing philosophy can be summed up by the
ludacrous song move yeah, bitch, get out of the way,
you know, because I don't know what I'm elderly radio.
(10:28):
I just get it, get out of the way. I'll
crack your ribs and kay. Oh you know. The funny
thing was just sort of like his attorneys were saying,
it's like he can't even enjoy wine like he used to.
It was like one of the things that he's been
going through. And I was like, ah, that's fucked up.
But I mean apparently, like you know, he broke his
ribs and got knocked the fuck out from that impact,
and it's just it's just interesting to see, like they
(10:49):
just I just want to read this one part. Did
you read the did you talk about this opening statements part.
I don't think we read the opening statement, the opening
statement the guy I said before this crash, Terry was
a charming, outgoing, gregarious person. After the crash, he's no
longer charming. I mean, like, I'm I'm not saying, yo,
(11:13):
getting a fucked up having a real head injury and
shit like that. I get that, But it's just funny
the way that they're awarding it, like what this jury
must look like, and then they go on like they
had another radiologists say that he had like the typical
hallmarks of a brain injury, and he just apparently the
biggest thing is that it's hindered his ability to taste wine, damn,
among other serious conditions. But yeah, with like a jury
(11:36):
in you know where where there's like a giant ski town.
I mean, I feel like that they will because it's
in Park City, right, I think, Yeah, he knows not
the coziness of his ug boots. He's no longer charming,
in which I feel like, look at him, Look at him.
(11:57):
You look at this fool. He ain't charming him. You
want to hang with this guy? This guy's no longer
a good hang. I'm sorry to quote the I think
you should leave focus groups. Catch stinky is what I
think he is now. He lost it, He lost it.
But again, I'm sure it's just weirdest. I've also just
seen her on her phone in court and I'm like, yeah,
(12:17):
keep bringing that Gwyneth. Oh yeah, I can't wait she
takes the stand the photo. I'm so glad they allowed
cameras inside this courtroom because the photos of her barely
tolerating this bullshit are exactly what we need. Weekend The
Weekend was named the most popular artist by Guinness. Yeah.
(12:39):
Just I was like, I saw that headline and I
was like, wait, what, what the fuck you mean? But
I guess he's set two new world records, which was
when he had one hundred and eleven million listeners on
Spotify monthly listeners on Spotify, and then he became the
first artist to reach one hundred million monthly listeners. Um,
(13:00):
I guess. I'm like, what are we saying he's the
most popular artist in the world right now? Because it's weird.
That metric is just a little it leaves out like
and I'm imagining of the earth if you're just going
by like people who use Spotify, But it's weird. I
don't know. I'm like, I look, I got nothing against Apple,
(13:21):
you know what I mean. I love the early work,
but it's just interesting me just be like, yeah, based
on the Spotify number, and I get the Guinness like
you can. You can get a Guinness record for anything.
But my first thing was like, huh, that doesn't quite
feel like it. But I get the metrics you're using.
So yeah, there's a there's a story actually about his
HBO show. That's pretty I think he's gonna get a
(13:43):
lot less popular after that HBO show comes out if
it does well. Yeah, we'll get into the details in
a future app So, speaking of potentially problematic shit on
the horizon, So a couple of weeks back, they mentioned
that Quentin Tarantino has the idea for his tenth and
final movie. Apparently it's going to be called The Movie Critic,
(14:05):
and it's set in the late nineteen seventies LA with
a female lead at its center. First of all, just
I don't know that I believe he's going to stop
at ten. Yeah, yeah, it's never happened before. If you've
even been to like I remember once I was at
a Q and A for I think it was like
(14:26):
Kill Bill volume two or something like he did one
at the arc Light the Amount, this full talked, Oh
like we're not getting out of here this own most voice. Yeah,
so like retiring. Yeah, but okay, So let's let's pretend
that he was really going to make good on this promise.
Ten and I'm out. Um. He also, we're back in
(14:48):
La in the seventies. Yeah, back in La back in
the seventies. People think it might be about legendary film
critic Pauline Kale, who he specifically credits with creating his
or helping him create his esthetic, like one of her
reviews of Jean Luc Godard's Band of Outsiders was like
helped crystallize like what he wanted to do in film.
(15:11):
She's like, you know, one of the most influential film
critics of all time. And so there was a point
in her career where she came out to Hollywood to
be a film executive with Warren Batty. Warren Batty brought
her out and it didn't go well. The first project
(15:32):
Paramount was working on with her was a movie with
director James Toback, who you might know as like a
canceled predator yeah, serial editor Okay, yeah, and he immediately
like insisted she be fired. There's also like I don't know,
it feels like there's just going to be a lot
(15:54):
of bad Like she she ended up getting screwed over
by paramounts Don Simpson, who decided on principle to block
whatever Pauline proposed. Um. Don Simpson was a just prodigious
coke fiend who liked his self destructiveness kept failing upwards.
Um and after he screwed her over, he was fired
(16:15):
from being president of production at Paramount because he fell
asleep in his soup, like during a meeting in the cafeteria,
like literally just passed out. So he was fired and
then handed a producer's deal and given a new office.
And then you know, did a bunch of wild shit,
including make I Think Top Gun. And didn't he like
(16:37):
die before like the rock came out too or something? Yeah,
he was died of a coke overdose. But during the
making of Top Gun, he hold up with armed guards
and an uzi because he had crossed mobsters in Vegas
after he assaulted the niece of a boss. So just
like I can see I can see where where this
(16:58):
could be interesting, but also like Tarantino's not not when
it comes to yeah, especially something as like we already
talk about like the weird like Tarantino gaze of his
films and like just how like he put like Uma
Thurman through a bunch of shit, like being like, yeah,
it hurt yourself to do this stunt. And now it's like, yeah,
(17:19):
this guy, we expect him to handle a story about
this person entering the entertainment industry just to get crushed
by these like dudes, Like is that how he's gonna
tell it or he's gonna be some no, you know,
and we don't even necessarily know that it's about her specifically,
or it'll be like a fictionalized account. But just like
he famously cops to knowing about Harvey wine scenes crimes
(17:41):
before they came out, and like earlier in his career,
defended Roman Polanski claiming I don't believe it's rape, which
he later apologized for. But yeah, yeah, okay, well yeah,
you know, maybe maybe this isn't our guy for this story.
Thing is I feel like he can stop now? Yeah,
there's not a single thing online. Nine is a great number. Yeah,
(18:02):
as in nine no nine no more please, no more.
Just fucking drink your Cadillac Margarita's and you know, fucking
just watch your favorite PHS tapes over and over in
your main off to space. I thought there was like
he was going to do a Star Trek movie at
some point. Maybe maybe that would be better, what do
you think? And then he's gonna be, like I said, ten,
(18:25):
directing my own ideas. Now I do I do whatever?
Now Now during the next season of Picard, you guys
are gonna love it. That's right, all right. Those are
some of the things that are trending on this Thursday,
March twenty third, Back tomorrow with a whole last episode
of the show. Until then, be kind to each other,
(18:45):
be kind to yourself. Yeah, get the vaccine, don't do
nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow.
Bye bye,
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of TDZ
Colin the Daddy's Zone Daddy's Own He's back, baby, Hello

you know, because I don't know what I'm elderly radio.
(10:28):
I just get it, get out of the way. I'll
crack your ribs and kay. Oh you know. The funny
thing was just sort of like his attorneys were saying,
it's like he can't even enjoy wine like he used to.
It was like one of the things that he's been
going through. And I was like, ah, that's fucked up.
But I mean apparently, like you know, he broke his
ribs and got knocked the fuck out from that impact,
and it's just it's just interesting to see, like they
(10:49):
just I just want to read this one part. Did
you read the did you talk about this opening statements part.
I don't think we read the opening statement, the opening
statement the guy I said before this crash, Terry was
a charming, outgoing, gregarious person. After the crash, he's no
longer charming. I mean, like, I'm I'm not saying, yo,
(11:13):
getting a fucked up having a real head injury and
shit like that. I get that, But it's just funny
the way that they're awarding it, like what this jury
must look like, and then they go on like they
had another radiologists say that he had like the typical
hallmarks of a brain injury, and he just apparently the
biggest thing is that it's hindered his ability to taste wine, damn,
among other serious conditions. But yeah, with like a jury
(11:36):
in you know where where there's like a giant ski town.
I mean, I feel like that they will because it's
in Park City, right, I think, Yeah, he knows not
the coziness of his ug boots. He's no longer charming,
in which I feel like, look at him, Look at him.
(11:57):
You look at this fool. He ain't charming him. You
want to hang with this guy? This guy's no longer
a good hang. I'm sorry to quote the I think
you should leave focus groups. Catch stinky is what I
think he is now. He lost it, He lost it.
But again, I'm sure it's just weirdest. I've also just
seen her on her phone in court and I'm like, yeah,
(12:17):
keep bringing that Gwyneth. Oh yeah, I can't wait she
takes the stand the photo. I'm so glad they allowed
cameras inside this courtroom because the photos of her barely
tolerating this bullshit are exactly what we need. Weekend The
Weekend was named the most popular artist by Guinness. Yeah.
(12:39):
Just I was like, I saw that headline and I
was like, wait, what, what the fuck you mean? But
I guess he's set two new world records, which was
when he had one hundred and eleven million listeners on
Spotify monthly listeners on Spotify, and then he became the
first artist to reach one hundred million monthly listeners. Um,
(13:00):
I guess. I'm like, what are we saying he's the
most popular artist in the world right now? Because it's weird.
That metric is just a little it leaves out like
and I'm imagining of the earth if you're just going
by like people who use Spotify, But it's weird. I
don't know. I'm like, I look, I got nothing against Apple,
(13:21):
you know what I mean. I love the early work,
but it's just interesting me just be like, yeah, based
on the Spotify number, and I get the Guinness like
you can. You can get a Guinness record for anything.
But my first thing was like, huh, that doesn't quite
feel like it. But I get the metrics you're using.
So yeah, there's a there's a story actually about his
HBO show. That's pretty I think he's gonna get a
(13:43):
lot less popular after that HBO show comes out if
it does well. Yeah, we'll get into the details in
a future app So, speaking of potentially problematic shit on
the horizon, So a couple of weeks back, they mentioned
that Quentin Tarantino has the idea for his tenth and
final movie. Apparently it's going to be called The Movie Critic,
(14:05):
and it's set in the late nineteen seventies LA with
a female lead at its center. First of all, just
I don't know that I believe he's going to stop
at ten. Yeah, yeah, it's never happened before. If you've
even been to like I remember once I was at
a Q and A for I think it was like
(14:26):
Kill Bill volume two or something like he did one
at the arc Light the Amount, this full talked, Oh
like we're not getting out of here this own most voice. Yeah,
so like retiring. Yeah, but okay, So let's let's pretend
that he was really going to make good on this promise.
Ten and I'm out. Um. He also, we're back in
(14:48):
La in the seventies. Yeah, back in La back in
the seventies. People think it might be about legendary film
critic Pauline Kale, who he specifically credits with creating his
or helping him create his esthetic, like one of her
reviews of Jean Luc Godard's Band of Outsiders was like
helped crystallize like what he wanted to do in film.
(15:11):
She's like, you know, one of the most influential film
critics of all time. And so there was a point
in her career where she came out to Hollywood to
be a film executive with Warren Batty. Warren Batty brought
her out and it didn't go well. The first project
(15:32):
Paramount was working on with her was a movie with
director James Toback, who you might know as like a
canceled predator yeah, serial editor Okay, yeah, and he immediately
like insisted she be fired. There's also like I don't know,
it feels like there's just going to be a lot
(15:54):
of bad Like she she ended up getting screwed over
by paramounts Don Simpson, who decided on principle to block
whatever Pauline proposed. Um. Don Simpson was a just prodigious
coke fiend who liked his self destructiveness kept failing upwards.
Um and after he screwed her over, he was fired
(16:15):
from being president of production at Paramount because he fell
asleep in his soup, like during a meeting in the cafeteria,
like literally just passed out. So he was fired and
then handed a producer's deal and given a new office.
And then you know, did a bunch of wild shit,
including make I Think Top Gun. And didn't he like
(16:37):
die before like the rock came out too or something? Yeah,
he was died of a coke overdose. But during the
making of Top Gun, he hold up with armed guards
and an uzi because he had crossed mobsters in Vegas
after he assaulted the niece of a boss. So just
like I can see I can see where where this
(16:58):
could be interesting, but also like Tarantino's not not when
it comes to yeah, especially something as like we already
talk about like the weird like Tarantino gaze of his
films and like just how like he put like Uma
Thurman through a bunch of shit, like being like, yeah,
it hurt yourself to do this stunt. And now it's like, yeah,
(17:19):
this guy, we expect him to handle a story about
this person entering the entertainment industry just to get crushed
by these like dudes, Like is that how he's gonna
tell it or he's gonna be some no, you know,
and we don't even necessarily know that it's about her specifically,
or it'll be like a fictionalized account. But just like
he famously cops to knowing about Harvey wine scenes crimes
(17:41):
before they came out, and like earlier in his career,
defended Roman Polanski claiming I don't believe it's rape, which
he later apologized for. But yeah, yeah, okay, well yeah,
you know, maybe maybe this isn't our guy for this story.
Thing is I feel like he can stop now? Yeah,
there's not a single thing online. Nine is a great number. Yeah,
(18:02):
as in nine no nine no more please, no more.
Just fucking drink your Cadillac Margarita's and you know, fucking
just watch your favorite PHS tapes over and over in
your main off to space. I thought there was like
he was going to do a Star Trek movie at
some point. Maybe maybe that would be better, what do
you think? And then he's gonna be, like I said, ten,
(18:25):
directing my own ideas. Now I do I do whatever?
Now Now during the next season of Picard, you guys
are gonna love it. That's right, all right. Those are
some of the things that are trending on this Thursday,
March twenty third, Back tomorrow with a whole last episode
of the show. Until then, be kind to each other,
(18:45):
be kind to yourself. Yeah, get the vaccine, don't do
nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow.
