here we go, Hello the Internet, Welcome to this whip
trend edition of n's.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Of iHeart Radio.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
As a podcast, we take a deep dive into American
chair consciousness. And it is, of course Monday morning, September eighth.
My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is mister
my too. Loud, too loud, too loud, loud for the miners.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Gray, I'm sniffing your ear hole, Mark Sungerbro, because I'm
giving you the rear naked.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Your oh man.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, great times, great times, Mark Zuckerberg, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Our boy, our boy boy number one real nice. Yeah
we did that. Uh so this episode, we tell you
what was trending over the weekend's trending on this Monday
morning in the cold open. They don't even know what
we're taking. Who knows? Who can say? I don't even know,
to be honest, So I was just doing my impression
(04:37):
of Hans Gruber's impression of American before we started. Oh god,
oh no, you shoot me, Paul Geez. Do your kids
know that? Kids know that I haven't watched I heard yet. No,
but uh it's coming. I watched Diehard at eight. I'm realizing,
like I watched it when I was younger than my
(04:59):
oldest kid.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Dude, I was watching whatever was on TV from four
years old.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, my friend I went to I slept over at
my friend's house and they just had that shit on
like the loop, you know, the blank VHS, and we
watched Oh my god, yeah, this is the greatest thing.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
My friend had shit.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
My one friend had that like naughty VHS tape where
whenever he knew there was gonna be boobies on the TV,
he would recorded. So he had this like forty five
minute long VHS tape with like the most ill timed
like recordings, Like he would miss.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
It, like watching it and you just see somebody end
of a sex scene and he's like missed that one.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
He's like, I forgot about that one.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
We used to have to fucking record ship off the radio.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
That was like a event for me and my older
sister when we got like a tape deck with a
radio and you can hit record and like catch the
last thirty seconds of a song.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
You Like, there was nothing better though than when you
caught that shit clean. Yes, Like there were times I
remember I I was trying to download Aliyah's Try Again
because at the time this was really pre internet where
you knew anything, and they weren't like unless you heard
the DJ kick the song off, you didn't know what
it was. And I would always hear it in the middle,
(06:24):
I'm like, what the fuck is this Aliyah song? Which
I caung the radio? They would never tell me or
could never answered. And I just one of those days.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I was at my tape deck and I was like,
the next song is going to be try again, and
I fucking it like you didn't.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I have no wammy dang boom, you know what, it's.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Been a long time, long time. I was like, fuck,
why go?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I mean that shows that you were taking the message
of the.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Song to heart. You didn't exactly it first, exactly picked
yourself right back up and recorded that I.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Can dust it off and try again this cassette tape.
All right, So we tell you what's trending.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
We also let you get to know us a little
bit better by telling you some stuff that we think
is overrated, some stuff we think is underrated. Miles, you
want to kick us off with U. I started with overrated,
which I don't think we usually do. You know what's
something you think is over it? It gives us shit, man,
we're fucking fucking I don't give what you call it
war crimes or overrated or underrated.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
So you'll get to that streaming the development style that
we are, we find ourselves in in the streaming war
so development of like the shows that these networks choose
to make and put in front of us and say
this is the new ship.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Y'all are gonna fucking slop up. Yeah, because I just saw,
like so Showgun huge hit. You know, every boomer man
had that book. I feel like when I went into
some of my friend's dad's like office or bookshelf, like
the thick ass paperback curling. It was so thick, dude,
just tattered, and then so many dads being like covered
(08:05):
in You're Japanese, you know about this? I'm like, no,
I don't, but anyway, I'm just here to smoke weed
in your garage. Miles, here to smoke weed. Smoke. Don't
ask me about Japanese shit.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Please please fuck okay, like you're a.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Handy man who just comes by. Yeah, it's just Miles.
I'm just here to smoke. Were to smoke weed. Man,
Just keep doing your you know, hide your affair sloppily.
Have you read Shogun back? Sorry about my dad? Still
haven't Still haven't all good?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
So anyway, Showgun Big Hit Awards, Darling to boot. I
just saw an announcement for Netflix is basically like, oh,
so y'all like Japanese shit because they are releasing their
own feudal Japan samurai show called Last Samurai Standing, which
unfortunately is not a reality competition show.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Is it starring Tim What's isn't Tim the tool Man Taylor?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
But I think Eliza sh Lessenger wins in it?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Wasn't she on Last Comic Standing? Anyway? I don't even
know who was on that.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
All that to say is I was like, great that
like it like topically, when you look at it, you're like,
this just is it reads like Showgun except this is
more action based because it's based on like an existing
like series of books and manga that actually does like
the story is about a competition with samurai where like
(09:29):
they get a point for killing each other.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
It's sort of like the gist of it.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
But when I saw this, I was just the thing
I just went is like, oh so Netflix needed their
own showgun thing?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
And then I'm like, why not just make every I
say this all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
It's just so disheartening to see just them being like,
what other ip is there that hasn't been tapped?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
That's like Showgun that we can make. So I read
in a book once, Yeah, let's go with that.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It always has to It's like the style is always
just like, oh, what was popping one year ago?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Okay, make our version of that. So it takes a
long time to get this shit together. Yeah, I mean
it's coming out.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Of November, so you know, probably the second the announced showgun,
they're like, where the fuck is our showgun?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah? I mean you get because everything is based on
data points for them. Yeah, you like, I'm almost positive
because they had they have a hit like right wing
show with Last Man Standing or at least Tim Allen did.
I don't know where that shit shit airs. They're like, okay,
things we know work. Japanese shit last blank Standing as
(10:38):
a title format fucking squid game, So we mash those up,
put squid game in feudal Japan, give it the title
format of Last Man Standing or Last Comic Standing, and
also steal that Tom Cruise movie Last Samurai exactly, Last.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Samurai Standing starring dat Fan season one winner of Last
Comic Standing. This is and he's Asian, guys, This fucking
I mean, I'm so glad I went to Burning Man
this year, although I got in no weird argument with
this Russian guy wouldn't leave me alone. And then I'm
talking about it for a little bit and I woke
up with bloody So yeah, uh this is this is perfect.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But again, it's just like funny to just see how
predictable this whole the thought process is from these people.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, all right, I got two overrated.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
One is just a phrase that I heard this weekend
that I'm like, oh, this is gonna be everywhere and
I hate it.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
From the comfort of your own phone? What I just
heard that phrase?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So they've taken from the comfort of your own home
with where really our home is? I think it was
on a podcast ad. It just like stuck in my brain.
I was just like, oh, no, that is that's our
new ad. That's right, that's our ad copy. I mean, yeah,
I will probably have to say this at some point.
(12:01):
It makes perfect sense, like from a perspective where it's
just like, yes, yes, slide into this slip stream of
media consumption and like capitalism and retail therapy.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
H this is your new home.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I mean, but it just like represents a world that
I'm just like, fuck. I feel like so many of
us are aware that the phone is the cause of
and solution to all of life's problems. Yeah, we're like,
it's just an addiction.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
But I guess I don't like the idea that they're like, yeah,
go to your phone where it's like home, you're actively
like looking at this shit, like being like, dude, get away.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
From fuck you. Yeah, I've rid of your own phone.
And then my other is golf courses. Just there's uh, you.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Know, we're we're seeing a lot, We're getting a lot
of these.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Medical studies you know that are like in various stages
and various sizes from RFK, you know, being like you know,
cherry picking individual studies and being like, we got we
got to look into this, and therefore no more vaccines
for children. There's a study that came out earlier this
(13:14):
year from the Journal of the American Medical Association, pretty reputable,
that's like one of the big ones. So the JAMA
Network has a study that finds that people who live
near golf courses are like one hundred and twenty percent
more likely to get Parkinson's and specifically it's related to
(13:37):
the drinking, like if you share your water source with
the golf course. And so the idea is basically that
if you ever fly over Los Angeles, you'll you'll see
these little islands of like perfect green lawns that are
all golf courses and everything. Nothing else looks like that,
and it's because they are just fucking dousing that shit
(14:02):
with chemicals to oh to keep it, like popping green,
basically popping green and like keep the you know, a
bunch of pesticides. And this is the working theory. Anyways.
It just feels like one of those things that would
be a much bigger deal if the entire like US
power structure and like Old Boys Network would like didn't
(14:24):
just fucking golf every day, like hang out on golf
courses and got Parkinson's. There's a denial about it. Yeah, yeah,
just don't fucking don't blame the golf course. Yeah, just
fucking wild.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I mean before I remember, like when we were talking
about how basically their government protected facilities essentially that don't
pay taxes and there should be green spaces for everyone
to enjoy.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
But yeah, they're little like roaming fields for the wealthy.
It's paid for frequently, especially in Los Angeles. It's paid
for with taxpayer dollars, and then you have to pay
like three hundred and fifty thousand dollars in Los Angeles
to belong to one of these things to even get inside,
and like you have to be accepted in some you know,
(15:09):
weird social ritual that who the fuck knows like what
they're making those decisions. No, you put a golf tea
in your dick hole and then the guy has to
drive a ball off of it, I'm sure, but yeah, so,
like there's so many things wrong with that, like the
these are green spaces right in the middle of especially
in Los Angeles that like could be used for public
(15:32):
works and you know, public parks, and a bunch of
the best public parks in Los Angeles are just like
cordoned off and only available to a handful of rich people. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I mean it is interesting though, because when you think
about the neighborhoods around golf courses, those are that's not
those are usually wealthy areas. Like so wouldn't tho I mean,
so I'd imagine a lot of the victims are most
in that instance, would be people who are like these
landed land owning freaks who damn yeah, I remember.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Solution is just like getting water delivered to them or whatever,
and they already knew. They're like, oh, we've known honey
for oh yeah, God, sorry for you. You don't have your
own cistern. Oh honey, welcome to hell. But yeah, anyways,
I continue to think this is for whatever the political
party that forms in the future. That is, like, you know,
(16:27):
the answer to fascism. I feel like invading golf courses
would be would continue to be a great uh oh
yeah yeah, yeaheah.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's where you do like your Baine style, like you know,
summary executions like in a golf course.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, or just like I don't know, fun parties for
neighborhood type thing, computing visions of the future. Sorry jact.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
We don't have our block parties withoutur summary executions of
the old barks.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
That's true. What's something Miles you think is underrated?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Under did just the fucking number of ways to cook bacon? Okay,
I thought I knew them all, which was in a
pan or roast them off in an oven, like if
they want to do it on that huge amount, do
that and then you got them all you put them
all on too.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, air fryers like sure, put in certain device. I've
even heard people who ride for microwave bacon, which I
have not tried. Yeah, I'm not. I mean, if you
like it's super crispy.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
So I saw on God's cursed Internet the boiling method, and.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
It's basically what that would look like.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
You put bacon in a cold pan or like even
like in a pot, so you have like raised walls
so you don't get the splash everywhere, sure, and you
put water in enough to just cover it, and then
you bring it to a boil on high. Yeah, and
then once it boils, you crank it down to medium
and then the water like helps render the fat better
without drying it, and you kind of get this like tender, tendery,
(18:01):
neaty bacon.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Interesting. I don't I can't even like doesn't swell up
a little bit, like it's a little bigger than you no,
like the water. In your mind, you're like fucking putting
it in water.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
But it has no like you would never if I
told you like I did the boiling method.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
It's not like you're actually boiling it. It just seems
like normal bacon. You're picturing a dead body that's been
floating in it's a lake for two weeks. You know.
Sometimes you get like a good blt and like it's
not all crackery crispy. It's like got a it's got
just enough that it breaks. It's delicate, it's not all.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Rubbery, you know what I mean, It's just that right
middle part. So damn, I was working around a few
different I'm still dialing it in. You can, anyone just
searches boiling bacon bacon method, you can.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
It's yeah. It's like I I got real excited about
a pizza reheating method like years ago. Oh yeah, like
reheating waterpan with a little bit of water and like
it's good. But then like I was like, it's also
a bit of a pain in the ass, and uh
like just pizza. I think what I'm really getting excited
about is how good pizza is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, how
(19:08):
easy it is to reheat pizza and make it fucking awesome.
It's like it's like me with weed. It's like I
could smoke it, i could put it in up all
you can eat it. Like it's like I don't know,
maybe I just like it a lot. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Bacon is it's it's delicious. I don't know, it doesn't matter.
I just want to be eating. And now that the
guy's child is now like he likes bait, he's fucking
with bacon now. So now I'm like really kind of
like trying new shit out because we get to kind
of like you know, experiment in.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
The kitchen and stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Although it's a fun age, Miles, it's a fun age.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
It is till like I'm like, oh, this is he's
so cute. I'll be like, okay, so you want to
help me make bake? He goes, of course, of course,
of course, and then we go in the fucking kitchen.
This man can't pay attention. He's like, Okay, you got
this motherfucker right. So many moments like that where I'm like,
(20:05):
you know, we I'm planning things. I'm like, we're about
to have like a moment, and then they're just like
what you thought? You thought? Man? I think I've told
the story before about taking them to see Indiana Jones,
like the age that I saw Indiana Jones. But it
was at the like there's a cemetery around here, Hollywood
Forever cemetery that like shows the movies. Yeah, we went,
(20:30):
topia started noticing I was in trouble when I like
looked around there were no other kids there, and like
the movie didn't start till pretty late, and right away
there was like it was just obvious that it was
way too much for them. I remember this. Yeah, I
had to carry them out like under my arms, like
(20:51):
stepping through all these people on part who were not
cool with it. They were not like it's fine, man,
you've got kids. They're like, what the fuck did you
bring kids here for? Dude? You stepped all over my
CHARCOOTERI board you Yeah, it was definitely a sharkcutery board. Yeah,
you're kicking a shark coutery board if you try and
walk through that crowd. Yeah, so I gotta do vip man,
(21:11):
but yeah, you know, big plans. And then took them
fishing at a at a park and like he was
just like, I don't know, man, I'm kind of interested
in these sticks over here. Yeah. Like I liked the
idea better than in practice. And I realized and the
fun moments happened when you're planning other ship, you know. Yeah,
all right, so I'm gonna come out and say something
(21:35):
that's going to surprise a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
But I think AI is bad.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I think it's I was just noticing, yeah, go ahead,
a big rug pull as the term goes. No, I
was just noticing that, like so at the like US
Open Coverage was using I think it was like a
Microsoft AI to predict the matches, and you'd think maybe
(22:04):
it was IBM. It was like one of those ones
that's like, oh, you're trying, you're getting in on this too,
huh m hmm. But you know that they put a
ton of time and effort into this because it's like,
first of all, a thing that like, I think the
way the world thinks about AI, they would expect AI
to be good at this. You know, they're like, yeah,
I mean like you should be able to it should
be better than humans a like picking things. And it's
(22:26):
like on main you know, they're like showing it on
the broadcast, and they kept like picking things that were
like obviously wrong. They would like pick the player that
like obviously like didn't have momentum or like wasn't playing
that well, like almost every time that I saw it
come up, and like sometimes they would show it after
a set where like that person was getting their ass
(22:47):
kicked already and like they knew this. Yes, it's just
like like this is match pointing around. Yeah, just anecdotally,
like they suck shit. I'm just hoping people are like
seeing enough of these things to be like, oh yeah,
this is this thing does not is not able to
(23:09):
do what it purports to do.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
There's I mean, and that's the thing you can't optimize
further watching sports, It's you're just there to stare at
the people compete. I don't need fucking I don't need
other data points like I've seen. There's like I saw
a similar thing with like using like stat metrics for
like a like a soccer match where there's like expected
(23:31):
goals and things like this, and like, based on what's happening,
this team has the best chance to win.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
It's like, I don't give a shit. I'm watching. I'm
not I'm not yet. God, what's the computer gonna say
who's gonna win? You watch to fucking let it unfold.
It's meaningless who you think is gonna win.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
And it's not impressive even if it like and and
the fact that it's wrong is actually even more upsetting.
They're like, all right, we kind of fucked that one
up on but yeah, just over, Like all three of
the AI engines all predicted Center, and like I think
a lot of people were predicting Alcare, like the tennis
expert on.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Air, like all predicted Alcarez. I thought Alcorez was gonna win,
but like Chad GPT and all that ship like all
picked center. Uh, it's just but like even like in
the earlier rounds, it just seemed to like pick whoever
had the lower seed basically, which I don't know, like
they could have. It would be so easy for them
(24:24):
to just like mechanical turkit and just like ask the experts.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
But they they that's the scary thing.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
They believe in the technology too, and the technology anecdotally sucks. Shit.
Wait where the where the picks? Where the picks laid
out before them the match started? They would yeah, they
would like it has to be like inside job gambling shit, right,
you know what I mean, Like like you would think
give it and then gambler loser and then no.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
But I'm saying like for a gambling company, they're like
put that out and then I'm not I'm gonna fucking
take all these people's money because they trusted with the
stupid computer set.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I just think, no, no, it wasn't from like draft Kings.
I'm saying a company that was like putting their name
on it, so like I don't think it could have
possibly been like them fucking it up on purpose like
it was. It was a big swing for the company
to be like and our ai predicts this to happen
and just be fucking wrong over and over and over again.
(25:23):
So I don't know that. And then billionaires that we
talked last week about the Balmer thing, the owner of
the Clippers usually really looking like forty eight million, now,
that was Santa Kawai. So he basically used this other
company that he had invested in allegedly based on this reporting,
(25:44):
it seems like he was using it to circumvent the
salary cap, which is like one of the cardinal sins
of like sports ownership, and it was revealed on this
podcast Pabulatory finds out and then you know where he did,
like original reporting, and then the follow up episode to
that was just Mark Cuban had reacted to it been
like no way, man, no way, this is not true.
(26:05):
Balmber's is way too smart, And the whole episode was
just Cuban finding out the evidence that he had first
of all, so I guess he hadn't like actually fully
absorbed to the episode that he was claiming wasn't true.
And then also just repeatedly his only piece of evidence
was like, Balmer is the rigial guy in the world.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
He's way too smart to do that.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah, exactly, but also he's too stupid to actually know
about the inner workings of his own company that he
was investing in.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
It's like a nice combination.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
It was. It was a really good microcosmo of like
the like way that billionaires are given the you know,
assumption of brilliance, but then they're allowed to just be
like above it all and not involved in the actual
fucking like scandals that are caused by their companies. Well,
he was trying to have it both ways, like, because
I remember I saw that. I saw that follow up too.
I watched most of it. I couldn't believe how much
(26:56):
I was just listening to Mark Cuban fucking blather on.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
But when he was like, Pablo, look, if I'm wrong
and you're right about this, then Steve Balmer's really dumb. Yeah,
And you're like yeah, or greedy or single minded, and yeah,
clouds's judgment or he lives in a world the free
of consequence, so he operates exactly. Maybe it's a thing
you fucking weirdo, Like what are you really agree? Like
the thing that animates billionaires I think we're we find
(27:22):
out repeatedly is not that they're particularly brilliant. They are
good at exploiting loopholes, which it seems like he was
trying to do here. They're single minded and like hyper
hyper competitive and have just like unending amounts of energy,
and then they are able to exploit like people looking
(27:42):
the other way, and like, you know, just they have it.
They're treated like fucking celebrities and like those three things
make this make perfect sense. But Cuban was just like, no,
I'm he was like too bought in on the great
Man theory of and then he was always like, idrew
deals all the time, Pablo, Where I'm investing companies?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Do I know every single thing? That's where I have
like I have my due diligence teams do that. And
Pablo was like, you've put fifty million dollars into a
company and you knew nothing about it. He was, oh,
Steve's a laborrich for the Yeah, but do you remember
how he really took a second because he was like,
how am I going to explain this?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Like Mark Cuban was acting like he was accessing his memories,
like well, maybe maybe like on that maybe it's like relative.
It's like relative though it's really right.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah, all right, all right, but anyways, interesting to see
where that story goes. Yeah, being a billionaire is about
fucking cheating people. Yes, best at cheating. You only get
there by fucking cheating. So that to be like the
fucking the famous cheater. He's not cheating.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
No way would he cheat. He's too smart for that.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Fuck out of here. Yeah yeah, all right, Uh, let's
take a quick break, we'll come back. We'll talk some news,
and we're back back. And I saw this little media
(29:05):
event where Mark Zunnerberg and a bunch of Silicon Valley
people were sitting next to the president. Was like a
oligarch fest. Yeah, it was oligarch glaze fest.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Yeah, what what was the purported purpose of it?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
It was just a gathering of the tech people. Really,
the subtext is all of these people want the breaks
completely cut off any regulation as it relates to AI.
That's really that's why all of these people are there
to be like please, because this is the next thing
that's not going to fucking work and we're all just
gonna end up fucking suffering.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
But yeah, like it was just it was just a
moment for all these people to also say numbers out
loud of money they're investing in the companies. Or Trump
can be like he could go like, and how much
money are you investing?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
And how much money?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
So he could also be like, look how much investment
I'm bringing to America.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
It's like just so abstract.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
But for Trump, who just thinks, like by getting a
bunch of oligarchs to say billions of dollars are being spent,
that means somehow it's going it's just ai development, or
do just like, what are you investing in America? We're
just like truly company in America, So like how much
money are we spending?
Speaker 3 (30:16):
It's kind of a weird vegue question.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
It was truly just for people to say numbers, so
at least there could be I think in his mind
he's like there's a headline, look how many million billions
are being spent and they say the economy is fucked? No, yeah, yeah,
Like the CEOs love to be like I created this job.
There's a lot of families out there that that are
my children because that person worked for me and they
wouldn't have had a job otherwise. It's like, no, that's
(30:42):
not true. That's what You're just happened to be in
the position that could be easily filled by somebody else exactly.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
And everyone was there from Silicon Valley, like fucking Bill Gates,
Sam Walton, pretty much everyone except for k Hole nazi
Elon Musk, who's still persona non grata at the moment.
But the moment that got the most attention, for better
or worse was like when actual metaverse robot Mark Zuckerberg
was asked by Trump how much money you be investing
(31:10):
in the country or whatever, just open ended question.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Zuckerberg's he's here, I'll play it. But he gets caught
on the other side of this.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Quote apologizing to Donald Trump about not knowing what number
he should have said.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
But anyway, fuck he was talking about Yeah, yeah, yeah,
how much are you spending would you say over the
next few years?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Oh gosh, I mean I think it's probably gonna be
something like, I don't know, at least six hundred billion
dollars through twenty eight in the US.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah. This sounds like like a Tim Robbinson bit that
is brutal. That just brings me back to every day,
like every moment where you're just like, fuck, what what
what was the.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Question saying exactly not oh gosh me, oh gosh, gosh,
I would have to say his robot say huge number,
say huge number.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Say six hundred billion bill. It was like that scene
in Arrested Development when Carl Weathers is talking, like the
fight breaks out at the restaurant and the news is
talking to him and he's like, I'm looking at fifty
thousand dollars in medical bills and he holds.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Up a foil wrap swan. That's my favorite arrest of anyway.
Good place Again.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
He's coming up with a number and you'll you'll understand
what he means when he follows this up because he
didn't realize the MIC's were on. He thought the focus
was elsewhere. But we get to hear.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
It six hundred billion dollars through twenty eight in the US. Yeah, no,
it's not it's significant.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
That's a lot.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Thank you, Mark, it's great to have you. Sorry it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
I wasn't sure what numbers number you because it's all
bullsh like.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
That's what's so wild to me. Yeah, yeah, because it's
a type because I didn't know what you were talking about.
Because saying how much money am I gonna spend? Doesn't
make any sense.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Sorry, I don't know if you know you're senile. So
the just the context of the question didn't even makes sense.
Given the conversations we had earlier.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
You didn't know what you wouldn't mean to say it,
just like me, I didn't even know you were going
to that. You should have told me. It would have
said a different number, Which one do you want me
to go with? Deal Leader? So it was just wild,
Like how like you know, right after jail Leader is
fun deal Leader. Yeah, in deer Leader, sometimes you stumble
(33:43):
upon something in a typo and it ends up being
real good. But yeah, like just think about when Zuckerberg
kicked Trump off Facebook, like after the twenty twenty election,
and like Trump was threatening him with jail, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
But like he's done his best to get on his
good side.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I mean, like he settled an old lawsuit with Trump
for fucking twenty five million, He donated a million dollars
to his inauguration. He fucking he skull fucked all content
moderation on Facebook, and it's just generally rolling over for Trump.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
But yeah, it's strange how history always rhymes a bit
how the capitalists end up rolling out the red carpet
for fascists.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah yeah, I mean yeah, they wanted they wanted to
join the fascist movement. In the twenties, as we've talked
about before, there was a bunch of business leaders who
tried to overthrow the US government when FDR was president.
They just like, you know, hired the wrong general, like
World War two general who or I guess world War
one because it was pre World War two, hmm.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
And the guy was just like what, yeah, yeah, I'll
do all that, and then.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Like exposed the plot and those guys all went to jail,
and you know, oh sorry, No, they were business leaders,
so they were just like fine, They're just fine, they're
committing fucking treason. Anyways. I do like Trump's response to
it was like he turns to the person sitting on
his other side and he's like he said that he
didn't know what number he wanted me to say, because
(35:05):
like that is what is cool about it to him
is that it implies corruption. You know. It's like most
like other presidents prior to like you know, ten years ago,
a president hearing someone say sorry, I didn't know what
number you wanted me to say? Would immediately know like, oh,
that's like bad. Yeah, that makes both of us look
(35:28):
like shit because it makes it look like we're just
like making this stuff up. But like for Trump, that's
kind of the point is that we're like making making
this up and like I can just get these guys
to say whatever the fuck I want, you know.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
And shows how how much control he has over this too.
It's like, yeah, you're dictating what the spec whatever? I mean,
like this is this is, this is where we're at.
But cool man, Mark Zuckerberg.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
It also looked like after he said that, like in
a room full of like other billionaires, like, I wonder
how many of them are like, what the fuck is
this guy talking about six hundred billion? Over there till
twenty twenty eight?
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Really like you didn't like the number, I was going
to take it back.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
I really looked around the room after he said six
hundred billion, because people were like, well, what did you say?
I wonder if anyone gave him a sarcastic thumbs up
from across the room, they probably did the blow job thing.
They were like sucker, like yeah, all right, full yeah,
good job man. If billionaires were cool.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, yeah, you probably sent an animated emoji or something over.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Their old link. They just sent him the animated fist
bump that old people love to send it.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
All right, well, speaking of this is where we are.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
The Trump administration announced that they blew up a drug
carrying boat off the coast of Venezuela, killed eleven people,
which everybody immediately pointed out is illegal and a war crime,
like you can't blow up a boat. That we'll get
into the specifics, but yeah, Marco Rubio probably told reporters
(37:01):
that we blew it up adding and it'll happen again.
Maybe it's happening right now. Every time a bell rings,
the US military blows up a book full of Venezuelan civilians.
He did say that, or do you not say that?
That last part was editorial subtext. Yeah, yeah, it felt
like it the way he're saying it. Maybe it's happening
right now. He did say.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
It sounds like a fucking like abusive partners, like, man,
maybe I'm cheating on you right now.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Yeah, who knows what you want? What are you gonna
do it? Do it right now to this room, on
this room. But yeah, it's intentionally targeting non military civilians
and killing them without due process as a war crime. JD.
Vance defended the move, said blowing up drug smugglers was
the best use of the military, So, uh, fuck you
(37:51):
to World War two veterans.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
I guess wow, yeah that's oh man.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Yeah, I think one of the Krasensteins, like on Twitter,
was like, this is a war crime.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Yeah, And then he replied to that one he said, quote,
I don't give a shit what you call it.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Oh boy, I mean, this is what happens when you
let countries get away with war crimes all the time.
Nothing's a war crime anymore. Yeah, they're like, oh, sure,
killing civilians is a war crime.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Have you seen what we're fucking sponsoring in the Middle
East right now? Yeah? Tell me more about that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
It's really wild to see, especially for something like this
where they're trying to use a flimsiest logic where they're
like a drug the mere presence of a boat that
they say has drugs on it is somehow in a
full frontal attack that requires a militaristic response.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Yeah. Yeah. Rand Paul used to kill a mockingbird as
an example for why the military shouldn't randomly murder people. Yes,
I might use the seventy percent of the people they
arrest like right now, like, yeah, you know, kidnap with
their newfound ice powers, like have no criminal record at
(39:05):
all and are innocent of anything besides being brown. And
now the Supreme Court has just upheld their ability to
do that. But yeah, seventy seventy percent wrong when it
comes to detaining people. I mean, it's not even this
is who we're trusting to write, but this is who
we're trusting to like just be like I am the
law and fucking kill people.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Yeah, it's like, no, there is. And to stop even
pretending you're an out of control war criminal. I mean,
I mean that's that's the US government for you. But
in this like total mask off sense, and you have
Rand Paul trying to act like a fucking junior high
literature teacher to be like, guys, do you remember in
Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird?
Speaker 1 (39:46):
And he's a quote only literature I've read, I know,
did he quote? Did he ever wonder what might happen
if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation?
You're talking to a bunch of white supremacists. Bro, I
don't think they to kill a mocking first. I don't
think that was there. You think they opened up to
kill a mockingbird. Yeah, they did, and they were like
(40:08):
this is the They're happy, they said.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
At the end, they were like, get that guy got away.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
Radley though, could have been a cooler guy, could have
been a way cooler character. I thought bou Radley was
a coup man. Yeah, so this is just you know,
some bullshit, but it's also a weird trend in his administration.
He went to the US Open. The US Open final
happened over the weekend Alcarez First Center, which it's like
(40:34):
always it's been for the past like five finals. They're
like the two best players. Highly anticipated match that was
delayed by I think forty five minutes because he decided
to come to it and they weren't prepared to like
screen everybody, like everybody had to go through the equivalent
of like TSA airport security to get in, so they
(40:55):
like delayed the match by forty five minutes. And even
then when it started, it was like half full. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
I saw the photos from the outside when I'm like, yeah,
there was just some like a riot gathering.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
It's like, no, these are people who are trying to
get in, right, they just had massive security processes to
get through. This is also like a trend in his
administration where instead of like he doesn't do like appearances
that have anything to do with policy, he just goes
to sporting events. Yeah, like like a you know, like
(41:25):
a celebrity, Like it's she doesn't work. Yeah, yeahah, he
has no idea what it means to be president, so
he's just like, yeah, I do events. I go to events.
But like I remember during his first administration, he would
still like it was weird how he would like go
on all these like campaign rallies, Like it was like
he never stopped campaigning. Yeah, and like now he's just
(41:46):
like no, I just like go to fucking USC fights.
It's sick.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
He's a deflated balloon now. Yeah, he doesn't have the
energy for that shit anymore. So, like, you know, he's
just it so and I think that's why he likes
doing going to these events or these championships or final
matches or whatever, because it's like all this attention it's
happening in the US, and then he's there to lord
over it, to be like and there's me, the most
(42:11):
powerful man of the country.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
Yeah, this is my job. Usually goes to UFC fights,
where there's a big approval for him in that audience,
but at the US Open not so much. He got
booted a little bit, which we'll talk about in a second.
But just back to the point of there's this article
talking about how Trump having built the bulk of his
second terms domestic travel around attending major sports events, rather
(42:37):
than hitting the road to make policy announcements or address
the kind of large rallies he's so relished as a candidate.
Since returning to the White House in January and prior
to Sunday's US Open swing, Trump has gone to the
Super Bowl, the Daytona five hundred, UFC fights in Miami
and Newark, Great Ones, NCAA Wrestling Championship in Philadelphia, and
(42:57):
then the FIFA Club World Cup Final.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Now this I mean, yeah, good, great, great, Yeah, just
keep wasting everyone's fucking time. It's funny too, because like
also at the end of last week, there was a
huge gathering of like Arkansas sowybean farmers who were like,
we're like fucked yeah, wait, wait, we're supposed to export,
like a huge amount of this harvest to China and
there's no deals in place, which is alarming for the
(43:22):
entire business, and they're like what do we do.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
Trump's like, I'm going to go to the US Open
and lay over. Yeah, he appeared to fall asleep during
the match. There's also a moment where he like showed
a blue thing between his teeth that is hard to
make out, so people can't figure out. Or I said
it was a blue chew ad. Yeah. Yeah, I'm about
(43:45):
to get about to get wet over here, you know
what I'm saying, Jesus Christ. But yeah, somebody leaked an
email from the USTA US Tennis Association about like how
these appearances are handled, because you know, I remember during
the Super Bowl they showed him and there was like
(44:06):
a loud like kind of fake sounding like crowd roar
came up, and so there were you could hear booze,
but you can also hear like ah, And I was
always suspicious of that.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
Similar thing happened in this.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
Of course, the crowd was like half not there because
they were all waiting outside because he was there. But
this is the text from the USTA email that this
website bounces allegedly got leaked to them. With respect to
broadcast coverage, the president will be shown on the World
feed in the ash Court feed during the opening anthem ceremony.
(44:40):
We asked all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions
or reactions in response to the President's attendant in any capacity.
So not showcasing any reactions in response to the President's
attendance in any capacity. God, I mean, he's like treating
people's displeasure with him like you would a streaker, You
(45:01):
just like turn a rich game attention, attention.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
I mean, I'm sure you know I get that for
the super Bowl because enough of his people were watching
the super Bowl, so like, maybe you don't want them
to be like, Wow, people really don't like the president. Huh,
the US open bro mindes are made up. And also,
no one is making their judgment about Donald Trump based
on how many booze they hear at a fucking UFC fight, right,
(45:27):
everything else that's happening to people every day.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
That that is makes up the bulk of why people
respond like that. But yeah, I mean me, that's like
morbidly curious, and just like, are is everybody else seeing this?
Like isn't everybody Is it just the soybean farmers? Isn't
everybody else fucking outraged?
Speaker 2 (45:45):
And yeah, yeah, well think about it now, like with
tariffs man too, Like you see people who have like,
you know, a little like interests where they or hobbies
or like they buy things from outside of the country.
Like everyone's like, no one's safe from the policies at
this point. Not to say that it's existential for everyone,
because clearly people of color and people who are not
(46:07):
like Cishet, you know, Christian people are always going to
be under the threat of this regime. But like just
people who like trying to buy a thing from somewhere
else are not Like the.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
Tariffs, Well, why do I got to pay twenty dollars
on this thing that's that's only sixty bucks? This doesn't
make any sense, But I don't know, we'll see maybe
the maybe the booze will inspire something. My Nazi dining
plate set is so much more expensive now. Fuck now
I have to triangulate it and send it through Vietnam
(46:38):
to get it.
Speaker 3 (46:39):
Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
Enter it back.
Speaker 3 (46:53):
Remains to be seen.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
Whether or not the Department of Health and Human Services
upcoming report will recommend the use of leech or exorcisms,
but according to The Wall Street Journal, it will suggest
that the use of tail and all by pregnant women
may potentially lead to autism and children. They're just throwing
out they got lots of theories here. Mm hmm. They
said this was just speculation, but they also claimed that
(47:16):
they're quote using gold standard science to get to the
bottom of America's unprecedented horizon autism rates, which kind of
makes it sound like they're just going to announce it
and then probably got their info from like the Google
AI and asking jeeves the why the fuck what? I
(47:39):
don't even know, Like what are we gonna fucking do?
Everyone's gonna have to eat rocks and shit, I got
a tummy age and eat rocks.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
Everything just wild, how truly? Like the logic is, like,
I don't know, just say it causes autism, yeah, policy,
Oh yeah, And even if we just think it.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
Might, we got we gotta call it out. And then
who are we going to put on the case? People
with no real bonafide medical training. Yeah yeah, with which
I'm medical training. We got to fire those motherfuckers.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Oh, you know what cause aptism bonafide medical training.
Speaker 1 (48:14):
A few smaller studies that actually have suggested an association
between fetal exposure to acet of metaphine, the active ingredient,
and thilenol and subsequent risk of diagnosis with autism spectrum
disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, but the largest study
to date found no increased risk. And also that's like
(48:36):
such a massive like everybody uses thailanol, so that's going
to be really hard to Also, importantly, untreated fever during
pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage, birth defects, and premature birth,
and untreated pain can lead to maternal depression, anxiety, and
high blood pressure. So yeah, all of these things that
(48:59):
they're just like kind of coming out and throwing bombs about,
you know, just being like, yeah, well you know what
might like the way that like they they use all
the care and scientific examination of somebody sending an email
forward it seems like and so like no thinking it through,
(49:21):
just you know, whether it seems interesting and compelling to him,
you know, and then like passes.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
Yeah, the whole the whole health in human services arm
of the government is now just the correlation is causation
and that's that's it, which feels like can't somebody like
at this point, like just play dirty and cook up
a study about like something that would get RFK freaking
out about himself, Like i'mrest seen this new study man
(49:50):
about like touching dead bears and getting whale juice on
your on your fucking hands.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
Here, whatever fucking steroids he's taking, Like, oh right, exactly
what about TRT man? Do you read about that? You
know about that? You know about that, RFK? I don't know.
We'll see the overuse of the seta metapine is super dangerous.
But oh yeah, I'm glad. I grew up in a
house with an immigrant mom who said I didn't need
it all the time, fucking all the time. We didn't
(50:20):
have fun trying to get No.
Speaker 2 (50:23):
I wasn't even that no my mom, no, no, she wasn't.
She wasn't fucking with me like that. She she had
the ethos of just like a World War two hardened
boomer who was like, you don't need it, and I
was like, my but like my head hurts. She's like
it's fine, but like you're you're still talking. You can
get through it.
Speaker 1 (50:42):
And I was like, uh.
Speaker 2 (50:44):
And then I remember when I had like Osgrid schlaughters,
like joint pain from growing like growth spurts and stuff
like my knees would.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
Kill and she would be like, no, he's just use
some ice or whatever. I mean that did work, that
did help, But like, yeah, I guess my mom also
a world treatments. I feel like sometimes they were.
Speaker 2 (51:02):
She was also like of the thing where she's like,
I don't want you to get momentum going that when
you come up against a hardship, that there's a just
just take a pill for for that. Yeah yeahh And
I'm like, well that's I mean, that's a little that
cuts both ways. Like there are certain instances we absolutely
do do you need medication or to be medicated for something?
But hey, I get it, Mom, I get it. You're
(51:22):
building up a real tough kid who just cry in
his room with knee pain.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
Crying over his damn knees over there, all right. Uh.
And finally there's this Amazon backed company called Showrunner. They
made those terrible south Park videos where they were like, right,
we can ai a south Park episode. I created these
entire episodes of south Park that are unwatchable. I really
(51:48):
recommend people just like again if you if you have
any doubt about like the level of delusion that people
have over AI and like what is actually possible versus
like what is being promised, Like, just watch these episodes
of South Park because they think they're good. They're like,
look at this, this is incredible, and it's just fucking
(52:13):
like they just do plot exposition over and over again,
and they just and they make themselves like some of
the executives become like characters in this in the episode. Yeah,
it sucks. Shit. They claim that they're gonna be the
Netflix of AI. I don't know what that could like.
I guess that they're just going to like make tons
of streaming content with AI. That's just everybody's gonna want
(52:35):
to watch stupid buzzy pitch the blank of AI. Oh
we're the fucks of AI. Oh okay, So they're taking
there's a famous unfinished project orson Welles's, the Magnificent Amberson's.
It's kind of like the Royal Tent tenebaumbs like it's,
(52:56):
you know, a talented family. He turned it into the studio.
They added it to under ninety minutes without his permission
and learned the unused footage. They burned it like the
fuck out of here. Uh yeah, I mean Citizen King
wasn't like it didn't win the Oscar when it was made.
It was like, you know, people, I just wonder.
Speaker 2 (53:17):
I just love the fucking fuck you factor about being
like yeah, yeah, they're like, well, what about my other
foot We burned that shit, bro, that's it's gone.
Speaker 1 (53:26):
So that's so, did you think you had final cut? Yeah, dude,
that's just burnt. Fuck over at Orson. Okay, it's burned.
We burned it so fucking violently. It's like that happens
at the end of Citizen Kan. Yeah, they're like, yeah,
we actually thought we saw your last masterpiece. Uh loved
(53:48):
at the end when something was irrevocably lost to time,
the key answer in a fire, and so we decided
to burn your forty three minutes. Anyways, so they're they're
claim like, we're going to take those forty three minutes
and recreate them with AI, with just like dead eyed
versions of the actors that already exist, which I think
(54:11):
is just a dry run for making feature length AI slop.
They haven't even obtained the rights to do this. They're
just you know, like they did with the South Park
thing they didn't obtained. Yeah, Like, I'm sure this won't
be quite as absurd as the South Park thing, because
I don't think you can rewrite like they Hey, I
(54:33):
just can't do comedy, can't, like at least these guys
using AI can't do comedy. I mean clearly can't do
drama either, with like all the fucking robot still people
in the background.
Speaker 4 (54:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (54:44):
Yeah, so I don't know, we'll see. I'm claiming that
it won't. They won't be commercializing it, and it's purely
for academic value, but hopefully part of that is to
you know, release it to everybody so that we can
see what they come up with.
Speaker 2 (54:58):
Yeah, oh god, and everyone's going to be like, like, Wow,
this movie I've never fucking heard of. Yeah, thank god
you guys resurrected it like it's it's it's like even
the worst thing to even drum up excitement for this project.
I can think of many other things you could probably do,
but again, those probably those creators are probably.
Speaker 1 (55:16):
Still alive and are litigious. So you don't want to
go out here saying we're gonna we're gonna release the
Snyder cut with AI Yeah, a script must exist, right,
They're not just going to be like we just are guessing.
So they're working off a script. Even better. Yeah, they're like,
I don't know, this is just like has Citizen Cane vibes.
Speaker 2 (55:37):
We fed at the ninety minute cut and we're like,
hey man, add forty three minutes.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
It's just a post credit scene where various new magnificent
Amberson's are introduced. There's a skivity toilet in it too. Somehow,
It's very interesting, very interesting.
Speaker 2 (55:54):
God man, it's I mean the excitement like you say,
it's the same thing like I had as a kid
when I was uote unquote cooking, like at four years old. Yeah,
I put shit in a pot that was edible and
then I go, look, I made a sauce for the food, and.
Speaker 1 (56:09):
My parents go oh wow.
Speaker 2 (56:11):
And in my mind I'm motherfucking chef Ludo or Gordon
Ramsey or some shit, and they're like, the same fucking looks.
Speaker 3 (56:18):
Spring basted turkey. Yeah exactly, okay, thank thanks man.
Speaker 1 (56:23):
These people aren't artists.
Speaker 2 (56:26):
Get the thing to shoot out something that resembles human
expression and they go.
Speaker 3 (56:32):
Look what it did.
Speaker 1 (56:33):
It's the thing. It's art. I did art with the machine.
You made a fucking you made a sauce that four
year old Miles did and you're calling it cooking. Anyways,
we've learned today that uh copyright infringement causing diseases with
your hobby and uh war crimes are only a problem
if you're not a billionaire. There you go, and also
(56:55):
cheating at the cheating at basketball to fuck the CBA, man,
you know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. Finally I'm going
to say that because it's getting a billionaire in trouble.
Did you see I think there was a thing where
Mark Cuban is even like that's not even in the
cb and Pablos like it is. He's like, well sure maybe,
and it's like, see this is how.
Speaker 3 (57:15):
I'm not here to argue what's in the CBA.
Speaker 2 (57:19):
That was the other thing that was really just to
get back on that thing, where was it?
Speaker 1 (57:23):
What was a thing called a not a firm, a
spot aspiration aspiration when Mark Cuban was like, maybe they
wanted to pay Kawhi fifty million on their own because
they know it helps to be the sponsor of a
team that has Kawhi Leonard on it, so they have
their own motivation to do that, like Mark Cuban shut
the front door. Yeah all right, those are some of
(57:45):
the things that are trending on this Monday morning. We're
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 y'all tomorrow. Bye bye bye. The Daily Zeitgeist as

I wake up looking like. Oh God, oh you're gonna
(03:36):
shoot me. Oh no, shoot me? Oh god. Oh all right,
here we go, Hello the Internet, Welcome to this whip
trend edition of n's.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Of iHeart Radio.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
As a podcast, we take a deep dive into American
chair consciousness. And it is, of course Monday morning, September eighth.
My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is mister
my too. Loud, too loud, too loud, loud for the miners.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Gray, I'm sniffing your ear hole, Mark Sungerbro, because I'm
giving you the rear naked.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Your oh man.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, great times, great times, Mark Zuckerberg, Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Our boy, our boy boy number one real nice. Yeah
we did that. Uh so this episode, we tell you
what was trending over the weekend's trending on this Monday
morning in the cold open. They don't even know what
we're taking. Who knows? Who can say? I don't even know,
to be honest, So I was just doing my impression
(04:37):
of Hans Gruber's impression of American before we started. Oh god,
oh no, you shoot me, Paul Geez. Do your kids
know that? Kids know that I haven't watched I heard yet. No,
but uh it's coming. I watched Diehard at eight. I'm realizing,
like I watched it when I was younger than my
(04:59):
oldest kid.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Dude, I was watching whatever was on TV from four
years old.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Yeah, my friend I went to I slept over at
my friend's house and they just had that shit on
like the loop, you know, the blank VHS, and we
watched Oh my god, yeah, this is the greatest thing.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
My friend had shit.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
My one friend had that like naughty VHS tape where
whenever he knew there was gonna be boobies on the TV,
he would recorded. So he had this like forty five
minute long VHS tape with like the most ill timed
like recordings, Like he would miss.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
It, like watching it and you just see somebody end
of a sex scene and he's like missed that one.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
He's like, I forgot about that one.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
We used to have to fucking record ship off the radio.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
That was like a event for me and my older
sister when we got like a tape deck with a
radio and you can hit record and like catch the
last thirty seconds of a song.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
You Like, there was nothing better though than when you
caught that shit clean. Yes, Like there were times I
remember I I was trying to download Aliyah's Try Again
because at the time this was really pre internet where
you knew anything, and they weren't like unless you heard
the DJ kick the song off, you didn't know what
it was. And I would always hear it in the middle,
(06:24):
I'm like, what the fuck is this Aliyah song? Which
I caung the radio? They would never tell me or
could never answered. And I just one of those days.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
I was at my tape deck and I was like,
the next song is going to be try again, and
I fucking it like you didn't.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I have no wammy dang boom, you know what, it's.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Been a long time, long time. I was like, fuck,
why go?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I mean that shows that you were taking the message
of the.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Song to heart. You didn't exactly it first, exactly picked
yourself right back up and recorded that I.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Can dust it off and try again this cassette tape.
All right, So we tell you what's trending.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
We also let you get to know us a little
bit better by telling you some stuff that we think
is overrated, some stuff we think is underrated. Miles, you
want to kick us off with U. I started with overrated,
which I don't think we usually do. You know what's
something you think is over it? It gives us shit, man,
we're fucking fucking I don't give what you call it
war crimes or overrated or underrated.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
So you'll get to that streaming the development style that
we are, we find ourselves in in the streaming war
so development of like the shows that these networks choose
to make and put in front of us and say
this is the new ship.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Y'all are gonna fucking slop up. Yeah, because I just saw,
like so Showgun huge hit. You know, every boomer man
had that book. I feel like when I went into
some of my friend's dad's like office or bookshelf, like
the thick ass paperback curling. It was so thick, dude,
just tattered, and then so many dads being like covered
(08:05):
in You're Japanese, you know about this? I'm like, no,
I don't, but anyway, I'm just here to smoke weed
in your garage. Miles, here to smoke weed. Smoke. Don't
ask me about Japanese shit.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Please please fuck okay, like you're a.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Handy man who just comes by. Yeah, it's just Miles.
I'm just here to smoke. Were to smoke weed. Man,
Just keep doing your you know, hide your affair sloppily.
Have you read Shogun back? Sorry about my dad? Still
haven't Still haven't all good?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
So anyway, Showgun Big Hit Awards, Darling to boot. I
just saw an announcement for Netflix is basically like, oh,
so y'all like Japanese shit because they are releasing their
own feudal Japan samurai show called Last Samurai Standing, which
unfortunately is not a reality competition show.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Is it starring Tim What's isn't Tim the tool Man Taylor?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
But I think Eliza sh Lessenger wins in it?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Wasn't she on Last Comic Standing? Anyway? I don't even
know who was on that.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
All that to say is I was like, great that
like it like topically, when you look at it, you're like,
this just is it reads like Showgun except this is
more action based because it's based on like an existing
like series of books and manga that actually does like
the story is about a competition with samurai where like
(09:29):
they get a point for killing each other.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
It's sort of like the gist of it.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
But when I saw this, I was just the thing
I just went is like, oh so Netflix needed their
own showgun thing?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
And then I'm like, why not just make every I
say this all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
It's just so disheartening to see just them being like,
what other ip is there that hasn't been tapped?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
That's like Showgun that we can make. So I read
in a book once, Yeah, let's go with that.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
It always has to It's like the style is always
just like, oh, what was popping one year ago?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Okay, make our version of that. So it takes a
long time to get this shit together. Yeah, I mean
it's coming out.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Of November, so you know, probably the second the announced showgun,
they're like, where the fuck is our showgun?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
Yeah? I mean you get because everything is based on
data points for them. Yeah, you like, I'm almost positive
because they had they have a hit like right wing
show with Last Man Standing or at least Tim Allen did.
I don't know where that shit shit airs. They're like, okay,
things we know work. Japanese shit last blank Standing as
(10:38):
a title format fucking squid game, So we mash those up,
put squid game in feudal Japan, give it the title
format of Last Man Standing or Last Comic Standing, and
also steal that Tom Cruise movie Last Samurai exactly, Last.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Samurai Standing starring dat Fan season one winner of Last
Comic Standing. This is and he's Asian, guys, This fucking
I mean, I'm so glad I went to Burning Man
this year, although I got in no weird argument with
this Russian guy wouldn't leave me alone. And then I'm
talking about it for a little bit and I woke
up with bloody So yeah, uh this is this is perfect.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But again, it's just like funny to just see how
predictable this whole the thought process is from these people.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah, all right, I got two overrated.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
One is just a phrase that I heard this weekend
that I'm like, oh, this is gonna be everywhere and
I hate it.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
From the comfort of your own phone? What I just
heard that phrase?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
So they've taken from the comfort of your own home
with where really our home is? I think it was
on a podcast ad. It just like stuck in my brain.
I was just like, oh, no, that is that's our
new ad. That's right, that's our ad copy. I mean, yeah,
I will probably have to say this at some point.
(12:01):
It makes perfect sense, like from a perspective where it's
just like, yes, yes, slide into this slip stream of
media consumption and like capitalism and retail therapy.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
H this is your new home.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I mean, but it just like represents a world that
I'm just like, fuck. I feel like so many of
us are aware that the phone is the cause of
and solution to all of life's problems. Yeah, we're like,
it's just an addiction.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
But I guess I don't like the idea that they're like, yeah,
go to your phone where it's like home, you're actively
like looking at this shit, like being like, dude, get away.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
From fuck you. Yeah, I've rid of your own phone.
And then my other is golf courses. Just there's uh, you.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Know, we're we're seeing a lot, We're getting a lot
of these.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Medical studies you know that are like in various stages
and various sizes from RFK, you know, being like you know,
cherry picking individual studies and being like, we got we
got to look into this, and therefore no more vaccines
for children. There's a study that came out earlier this
(13:14):
year from the Journal of the American Medical Association, pretty reputable,
that's like one of the big ones. So the JAMA
Network has a study that finds that people who live
near golf courses are like one hundred and twenty percent
more likely to get Parkinson's and specifically it's related to
(13:37):
the drinking, like if you share your water source with
the golf course. And so the idea is basically that
if you ever fly over Los Angeles, you'll you'll see
these little islands of like perfect green lawns that are
all golf courses and everything. Nothing else looks like that,
and it's because they are just fucking dousing that shit
(14:02):
with chemicals to oh to keep it, like popping green,
basically popping green and like keep the you know, a
bunch of pesticides. And this is the working theory. Anyways.
It just feels like one of those things that would
be a much bigger deal if the entire like US
power structure and like Old Boys Network would like didn't
(14:24):
just fucking golf every day, like hang out on golf
courses and got Parkinson's. There's a denial about it. Yeah, yeah,
just don't fucking don't blame the golf course. Yeah, just
fucking wild.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
I mean before I remember, like when we were talking
about how basically their government protected facilities essentially that don't
pay taxes and there should be green spaces for everyone
to enjoy.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
But yeah, they're little like roaming fields for the wealthy.
It's paid for frequently, especially in Los Angeles. It's paid
for with taxpayer dollars, and then you have to pay
like three hundred and fifty thousand dollars in Los Angeles
to belong to one of these things to even get inside,
and like you have to be accepted in some you know,
(15:09):
weird social ritual that who the fuck knows like what
they're making those decisions. No, you put a golf tea
in your dick hole and then the guy has to
drive a ball off of it, I'm sure, but yeah, so,
like there's so many things wrong with that, like the
these are green spaces right in the middle of especially
in Los Angeles that like could be used for public
(15:32):
works and you know, public parks, and a bunch of
the best public parks in Los Angeles are just like
cordoned off and only available to a handful of rich people. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I mean it is interesting though, because when you think
about the neighborhoods around golf courses, those are that's not
those are usually wealthy areas. Like so wouldn't tho I mean,
so I'd imagine a lot of the victims are most
in that instance, would be people who are like these
landed land owning freaks who damn yeah, I remember.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Solution is just like getting water delivered to them or whatever,
and they already knew. They're like, oh, we've known honey
for oh yeah, God, sorry for you. You don't have your
own cistern. Oh honey, welcome to hell. But yeah, anyways,
I continue to think this is for whatever the political
party that forms in the future. That is, like, you know,
(16:27):
the answer to fascism. I feel like invading golf courses
would be would continue to be a great uh oh
yeah yeah, yeaheah.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
That's where you do like your Baine style, like you know,
summary executions like in a golf course.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, or just like I don't know, fun parties for
neighborhood type thing, computing visions of the future. Sorry jact.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
We don't have our block parties withoutur summary executions of
the old barks.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
That's true. What's something Miles you think is underrated?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Under did just the fucking number of ways to cook bacon? Okay,
I thought I knew them all, which was in a
pan or roast them off in an oven, like if
they want to do it on that huge amount, do
that and then you got them all you put them
all on too.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Yeah, air fryers like sure, put in certain device. I've
even heard people who ride for microwave bacon, which I
have not tried. Yeah, I'm not. I mean, if you
like it's super crispy.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
So I saw on God's cursed Internet the boiling method, and.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
It's basically what that would look like.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
You put bacon in a cold pan or like even
like in a pot, so you have like raised walls
so you don't get the splash everywhere, sure, and you
put water in enough to just cover it, and then
you bring it to a boil on high. Yeah, and
then once it boils, you crank it down to medium
and then the water like helps render the fat better
without drying it, and you kind of get this like tender, tendery,
(18:01):
neaty bacon.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Interesting. I don't I can't even like doesn't swell up
a little bit, like it's a little bigger than you no,
like the water. In your mind, you're like fucking putting
it in water.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
But it has no like you would never if I
told you like I did the boiling method.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
It's not like you're actually boiling it. It just seems
like normal bacon. You're picturing a dead body that's been
floating in it's a lake for two weeks. You know.
Sometimes you get like a good blt and like it's
not all crackery crispy. It's like got a it's got
just enough that it breaks. It's delicate, it's not all.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Rubbery, you know what I mean, It's just that right
middle part. So damn, I was working around a few
different I'm still dialing it in. You can, anyone just
searches boiling bacon bacon method, you can.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
It's yeah. It's like I I got real excited about
a pizza reheating method like years ago. Oh yeah, like
reheating waterpan with a little bit of water and like
it's good. But then like I was like, it's also
a bit of a pain in the ass, and uh
like just pizza. I think what I'm really getting excited
about is how good pizza is. Yeah, yeah, yeah, how
(19:08):
easy it is to reheat pizza and make it fucking awesome.
It's like it's like me with weed. It's like I
could smoke it, i could put it in up all
you can eat it. Like it's like I don't know,
maybe I just like it a lot. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Bacon is it's it's delicious. I don't know, it doesn't matter.
I just want to be eating. And now that the
guy's child is now like he likes bait, he's fucking
with bacon now. So now I'm like really kind of
like trying new shit out because we get to kind
of like you know, experiment in.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
The kitchen and stuff.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Although it's a fun age, Miles, it's a fun age.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
It is till like I'm like, oh, this is he's
so cute. I'll be like, okay, so you want to
help me make bake? He goes, of course, of course,
of course, and then we go in the fucking kitchen.
This man can't pay attention. He's like, Okay, you got
this motherfucker right. So many moments like that where I'm like,
(20:05):
you know, we I'm planning things. I'm like, we're about
to have like a moment, and then they're just like
what you thought? You thought? Man? I think I've told
the story before about taking them to see Indiana Jones,
like the age that I saw Indiana Jones. But it
was at the like there's a cemetery around here, Hollywood
Forever cemetery that like shows the movies. Yeah, we went,
(20:30):
topia started noticing I was in trouble when I like
looked around there were no other kids there, and like
the movie didn't start till pretty late, and right away
there was like it was just obvious that it was
way too much for them. I remember this. Yeah, I
had to carry them out like under my arms, like
(20:51):
stepping through all these people on part who were not
cool with it. They were not like it's fine, man,
you've got kids. They're like, what the fuck did you
bring kids here for? Dude? You stepped all over my
CHARCOOTERI board you Yeah, it was definitely a sharkcutery board. Yeah,
you're kicking a shark coutery board if you try and
walk through that crowd. Yeah, so I gotta do vip man,
(21:11):
but yeah, you know, big plans. And then took them
fishing at a at a park and like he was
just like, I don't know, man, I'm kind of interested
in these sticks over here. Yeah. Like I liked the
idea better than in practice. And I realized and the
fun moments happened when you're planning other ship, you know. Yeah,
all right, so I'm gonna come out and say something
(21:35):
that's going to surprise a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
But I think AI is bad.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
I think it's I was just noticing, yeah, go ahead,
a big rug pull as the term goes. No, I
was just noticing that, like so at the like US
Open Coverage was using I think it was like a
Microsoft AI to predict the matches, and you'd think maybe
(22:04):
it was IBM. It was like one of those ones
that's like, oh, you're trying, you're getting in on this too,
huh m hmm. But you know that they put a
ton of time and effort into this because it's like,
first of all, a thing that like, I think the
way the world thinks about AI, they would expect AI
to be good at this. You know, they're like, yeah,
I mean like you should be able to it should
be better than humans a like picking things. And it's
(22:26):
like on main you know, they're like showing it on
the broadcast, and they kept like picking things that were
like obviously wrong. They would like pick the player that
like obviously like didn't have momentum or like wasn't playing
that well, like almost every time that I saw it
come up, and like sometimes they would show it after
a set where like that person was getting their ass
(22:47):
kicked already and like they knew this. Yes, it's just
like like this is match pointing around. Yeah, just anecdotally,
like they suck shit. I'm just hoping people are like
seeing enough of these things to be like, oh yeah,
this is this thing does not is not able to
(23:09):
do what it purports to do.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
There's I mean, and that's the thing you can't optimize
further watching sports, It's you're just there to stare at
the people compete. I don't need fucking I don't need
other data points like I've seen. There's like I saw
a similar thing with like using like stat metrics for
like a like a soccer match where there's like expected
(23:31):
goals and things like this, and like, based on what's happening,
this team has the best chance to win.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
It's like, I don't give a shit. I'm watching. I'm
not I'm not yet. God, what's the computer gonna say
who's gonna win? You watch to fucking let it unfold.
It's meaningless who you think is gonna win.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
And it's not impressive even if it like and and
the fact that it's wrong is actually even more upsetting.
They're like, all right, we kind of fucked that one
up on but yeah, just over, Like all three of
the AI engines all predicted Center, and like I think
a lot of people were predicting Alcare, like the tennis
expert on.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Air, like all predicted Alcarez. I thought Alcorez was gonna win,
but like Chad GPT and all that ship like all
picked center. Uh, it's just but like even like in
the earlier rounds, it just seemed to like pick whoever
had the lower seed basically, which I don't know, like
they could have. It would be so easy for them
(24:24):
to just like mechanical turkit and just like ask the experts.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
But they they that's the scary thing.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
They believe in the technology too, and the technology anecdotally sucks. Shit.
Wait where the where the picks? Where the picks laid
out before them the match started? They would yeah, they
would like it has to be like inside job gambling shit, right,
you know what I mean, Like like you would think
give it and then gambler loser and then no.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
But I'm saying like for a gambling company, they're like
put that out and then I'm not I'm gonna fucking
take all these people's money because they trusted with the
stupid computer set.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
I just think, no, no, it wasn't from like draft Kings.
I'm saying a company that was like putting their name
on it, so like I don't think it could have
possibly been like them fucking it up on purpose like
it was. It was a big swing for the company
to be like and our ai predicts this to happen
and just be fucking wrong over and over and over again.
(25:23):
So I don't know that. And then billionaires that we
talked last week about the Balmer thing, the owner of
the Clippers usually really looking like forty eight million, now,
that was Santa Kawai. So he basically used this other
company that he had invested in allegedly based on this reporting,
(25:44):
it seems like he was using it to circumvent the
salary cap, which is like one of the cardinal sins
of like sports ownership, and it was revealed on this
podcast Pabulatory finds out and then you know where he did,
like original reporting, and then the follow up episode to
that was just Mark Cuban had reacted to it been
like no way, man, no way, this is not true.
(26:05):
Balmber's is way too smart, And the whole episode was
just Cuban finding out the evidence that he had first
of all, so I guess he hadn't like actually fully
absorbed to the episode that he was claiming wasn't true.
And then also just repeatedly his only piece of evidence
was like, Balmer is the rigial guy in the world.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
He's way too smart to do that.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Yeah, exactly, but also he's too stupid to actually know
about the inner workings of his own company that he
was investing in.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
It's like a nice combination.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
It was. It was a really good microcosmo of like
the like way that billionaires are given the you know,
assumption of brilliance, but then they're allowed to just be
like above it all and not involved in the actual
fucking like scandals that are caused by their companies. Well,
he was trying to have it both ways, like, because
I remember I saw that. I saw that follow up too.
I watched most of it. I couldn't believe how much
(26:56):
I was just listening to Mark Cuban fucking blather on.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
But when he was like, Pablo, look, if I'm wrong
and you're right about this, then Steve Balmer's really dumb. Yeah,
And you're like yeah, or greedy or single minded, and yeah,
clouds's judgment or he lives in a world the free
of consequence, so he operates exactly. Maybe it's a thing
you fucking weirdo, Like what are you really agree? Like
the thing that animates billionaires I think we're we find
(27:22):
out repeatedly is not that they're particularly brilliant. They are
good at exploiting loopholes, which it seems like he was
trying to do here. They're single minded and like hyper
hyper competitive and have just like unending amounts of energy,
and then they are able to exploit like people looking
(27:42):
the other way, and like, you know, just they have it.
They're treated like fucking celebrities and like those three things
make this make perfect sense. But Cuban was just like, no,
I'm he was like too bought in on the great
Man theory of and then he was always like, idrew
deals all the time, Pablo, Where I'm investing companies?
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Do I know every single thing? That's where I have
like I have my due diligence teams do that. And
Pablo was like, you've put fifty million dollars into a
company and you knew nothing about it. He was, oh,
Steve's a laborrich for the Yeah, but do you remember
how he really took a second because he was like,
how am I going to explain this?
Speaker 2 (28:16):
Like Mark Cuban was acting like he was accessing his memories,
like well, maybe maybe like on that maybe it's like relative.
It's like relative though it's really right.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Yeah, all right, all right, but anyways, interesting to see
where that story goes. Yeah, being a billionaire is about
fucking cheating people. Yes, best at cheating. You only get
there by fucking cheating. So that to be like the
fucking the famous cheater. He's not cheating.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
No way would he cheat. He's too smart for that.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Fuck out of here. Yeah yeah, all right, Uh, let's
take a quick break, we'll come back. We'll talk some news,
and we're back back. And I saw this little media
(29:05):
event where Mark Zunnerberg and a bunch of Silicon Valley
people were sitting next to the president. Was like a
oligarch fest. Yeah, it was oligarch glaze fest.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Yeah, what what was the purported purpose of it?
Speaker 1 (29:19):
It was just a gathering of the tech people. Really,
the subtext is all of these people want the breaks
completely cut off any regulation as it relates to AI.
That's really that's why all of these people are there
to be like please, because this is the next thing
that's not going to fucking work and we're all just
gonna end up fucking suffering.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
But yeah, like it was just it was just a
moment for all these people to also say numbers out
loud of money they're investing in the companies. Or Trump
can be like he could go like, and how much
money are you investing?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
And how much money?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
So he could also be like, look how much investment
I'm bringing to America.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
It's like just so abstract.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
But for Trump, who just thinks, like by getting a
bunch of oligarchs to say billions of dollars are being spent,
that means somehow it's going it's just ai development, or
do just like, what are you investing in America? We're
just like truly company in America, So like how much
money are we spending?
Speaker 3 (30:16):
It's kind of a weird vegue question.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
It was truly just for people to say numbers, so
at least there could be I think in his mind
he's like there's a headline, look how many million billions
are being spent and they say the economy is fucked? No, yeah, yeah,
Like the CEOs love to be like I created this job.
There's a lot of families out there that that are
my children because that person worked for me and they
wouldn't have had a job otherwise. It's like, no, that's
(30:42):
not true. That's what You're just happened to be in
the position that could be easily filled by somebody else exactly.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
And everyone was there from Silicon Valley, like fucking Bill Gates,
Sam Walton, pretty much everyone except for k Hole nazi
Elon Musk, who's still persona non grata at the moment.
But the moment that got the most attention, for better
or worse was like when actual metaverse robot Mark Zuckerberg
was asked by Trump how much money you be investing
(31:10):
in the country or whatever, just open ended question.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Zuckerberg's he's here, I'll play it. But he gets caught
on the other side of this.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Quote apologizing to Donald Trump about not knowing what number
he should have said.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
But anyway, fuck he was talking about Yeah, yeah, yeah,
how much are you spending would you say over the
next few years?
Speaker 4 (31:33):
Oh gosh, I mean I think it's probably gonna be
something like, I don't know, at least six hundred billion
dollars through twenty eight in the US.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Yeah. This sounds like like a Tim Robbinson bit that
is brutal. That just brings me back to every day,
like every moment where you're just like, fuck, what what
what was the.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
Question saying exactly not oh gosh me, oh gosh, gosh,
I would have to say his robot say huge number,
say huge number.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Say six hundred billion bill. It was like that scene
in Arrested Development when Carl Weathers is talking, like the
fight breaks out at the restaurant and the news is
talking to him and he's like, I'm looking at fifty
thousand dollars in medical bills and he holds.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Up a foil wrap swan. That's my favorite arrest of anyway.
Good place Again.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
He's coming up with a number and you'll you'll understand
what he means when he follows this up because he
didn't realize the MIC's were on. He thought the focus
was elsewhere. But we get to hear.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
It six hundred billion dollars through twenty eight in the US. Yeah, no,
it's not it's significant.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
That's a lot.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
Thank you, Mark, it's great to have you. Sorry it wasn't.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
I wasn't sure what numbers number you because it's all
bullsh like.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
That's what's so wild to me. Yeah, yeah, because it's
a type because I didn't know what you were talking about.
Because saying how much money am I gonna spend? Doesn't
make any sense.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Sorry, I don't know if you know you're senile. So
the just the context of the question didn't even makes sense.
Given the conversations we had earlier.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
You didn't know what you wouldn't mean to say it,
just like me, I didn't even know you were going
to that. You should have told me. It would have
said a different number, Which one do you want me
to go with? Deal Leader? So it was just wild,
Like how like you know, right after jail Leader is
fun deal Leader. Yeah, in deer Leader, sometimes you stumble
(33:43):
upon something in a typo and it ends up being
real good. But yeah, like just think about when Zuckerberg
kicked Trump off Facebook, like after the twenty twenty election,
and like Trump was threatening him with jail, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
But like he's done his best to get on his
good side.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
I mean, like he settled an old lawsuit with Trump
for fucking twenty five million, He donated a million dollars
to his inauguration. He fucking he skull fucked all content
moderation on Facebook, and it's just generally rolling over for Trump.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
But yeah, it's strange how history always rhymes a bit
how the capitalists end up rolling out the red carpet
for fascists.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah yeah, I mean yeah, they wanted they wanted to
join the fascist movement. In the twenties, as we've talked
about before, there was a bunch of business leaders who
tried to overthrow the US government when FDR was president.
They just like, you know, hired the wrong general, like
World War two general who or I guess world War
one because it was pre World War two, hmm.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
And the guy was just like what, yeah, yeah, I'll
do all that, and then.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Like exposed the plot and those guys all went to jail,
and you know, oh sorry, No, they were business leaders,
so they were just like fine, They're just fine, they're
committing fucking treason. Anyways. I do like Trump's response to
it was like he turns to the person sitting on
his other side and he's like he said that he
didn't know what number he wanted me to say, because
(35:05):
like that is what is cool about it to him
is that it implies corruption. You know. It's like most
like other presidents prior to like you know, ten years ago,
a president hearing someone say sorry, I didn't know what
number you wanted me to say? Would immediately know like, oh,
that's like bad. Yeah, that makes both of us look
(35:28):
like shit because it makes it look like we're just
like making this stuff up. But like for Trump, that's
kind of the point is that we're like making making
this up and like I can just get these guys
to say whatever the fuck I want, you know.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
And shows how how much control he has over this too.
It's like, yeah, you're dictating what the spec whatever? I mean,
like this is this is, this is where we're at.
But cool man, Mark Zuckerberg.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
It also looked like after he said that, like in
a room full of like other billionaires, like, I wonder
how many of them are like, what the fuck is
this guy talking about six hundred billion? Over there till
twenty twenty eight?
Speaker 3 (36:01):
Really like you didn't like the number, I was going
to take it back.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
I really looked around the room after he said six
hundred billion, because people were like, well, what did you say?
I wonder if anyone gave him a sarcastic thumbs up
from across the room, they probably did the blow job thing.
They were like sucker, like yeah, all right, full yeah,
good job man. If billionaires were cool.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah, yeah, you probably sent an animated emoji or something over.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Their old link. They just sent him the animated fist
bump that old people love to send it.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
All right, well, speaking of this is where we are.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
The Trump administration announced that they blew up a drug
carrying boat off the coast of Venezuela, killed eleven people,
which everybody immediately pointed out is illegal and a war crime,
like you can't blow up a boat. That we'll get
into the specifics, but yeah, Marco Rubio probably told reporters
(37:01):
that we blew it up adding and it'll happen again.
Maybe it's happening right now. Every time a bell rings,
the US military blows up a book full of Venezuelan civilians.
He did say that, or do you not say that?
That last part was editorial subtext. Yeah, yeah, it felt
like it the way he're saying it. Maybe it's happening
right now. He did say.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
It sounds like a fucking like abusive partners, like, man,
maybe I'm cheating on you right now.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Yeah, who knows what you want? What are you gonna
do it? Do it right now to this room, on
this room. But yeah, it's intentionally targeting non military civilians
and killing them without due process as a war crime. JD.
Vance defended the move, said blowing up drug smugglers was
the best use of the military, So, uh, fuck you
(37:51):
to World War two veterans.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
I guess wow, yeah that's oh man.
Speaker 2 (37:56):
Yeah, I think one of the Krasensteins, like on Twitter,
was like, this is a war crime.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Yeah, And then he replied to that one he said, quote,
I don't give a shit what you call it.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Oh boy, I mean, this is what happens when you
let countries get away with war crimes all the time.
Nothing's a war crime anymore. Yeah, they're like, oh, sure,
killing civilians is a war crime.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Have you seen what we're fucking sponsoring in the Middle
East right now? Yeah? Tell me more about that. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
It's really wild to see, especially for something like this
where they're trying to use a flimsiest logic where they're
like a drug the mere presence of a boat that
they say has drugs on it is somehow in a
full frontal attack that requires a militaristic response.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Yeah. Yeah. Rand Paul used to kill a mockingbird as
an example for why the military shouldn't randomly murder people. Yes,
I might use the seventy percent of the people they
arrest like right now, like, yeah, you know, kidnap with
their newfound ice powers, like have no criminal record at
(39:05):
all and are innocent of anything besides being brown. And
now the Supreme Court has just upheld their ability to
do that. But yeah, seventy seventy percent wrong when it
comes to detaining people. I mean, it's not even this
is who we're trusting to write, but this is who
we're trusting to like just be like I am the
law and fucking kill people.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Yeah, it's like, no, there is. And to stop even
pretending you're an out of control war criminal. I mean,
I mean that's that's the US government for you. But
in this like total mask off sense, and you have
Rand Paul trying to act like a fucking junior high
literature teacher to be like, guys, do you remember in
Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird?
Speaker 1 (39:46):
And he's a quote only literature I've read, I know,
did he quote? Did he ever wonder what might happen
if the accused were immediately executed without trial or representation?
You're talking to a bunch of white supremacists. Bro, I
don't think they to kill a mocking first. I don't
think that was there. You think they opened up to
kill a mockingbird. Yeah, they did, and they were like
(40:08):
this is the They're happy, they said.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
At the end, they were like, get that guy got away.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
Radley though, could have been a cooler guy, could have
been a way cooler character. I thought bou Radley was
a coup man. Yeah, so this is just you know,
some bullshit, but it's also a weird trend in his administration.
He went to the US Open. The US Open final
happened over the weekend Alcarez First Center, which it's like
(40:34):
always it's been for the past like five finals. They're
like the two best players. Highly anticipated match that was
delayed by I think forty five minutes because he decided
to come to it and they weren't prepared to like
screen everybody, like everybody had to go through the equivalent
of like TSA airport security to get in, so they
(40:55):
like delayed the match by forty five minutes. And even
then when it started, it was like half full. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:01):
I saw the photos from the outside when I'm like, yeah,
there was just some like a riot gathering.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
It's like, no, these are people who are trying to
get in, right, they just had massive security processes to
get through. This is also like a trend in his
administration where instead of like he doesn't do like appearances
that have anything to do with policy, he just goes
to sporting events. Yeah, like like a you know, like
(41:25):
a celebrity, Like it's she doesn't work. Yeah, yeahah, he
has no idea what it means to be president, so
he's just like, yeah, I do events. I go to events.
But like I remember during his first administration, he would
still like it was weird how he would like go
on all these like campaign rallies, Like it was like
he never stopped campaigning. Yeah, and like now he's just
(41:46):
like no, I just like go to fucking USC fights.
It's sick.
Speaker 2 (41:50):
He's a deflated balloon now. Yeah, he doesn't have the
energy for that shit anymore. So, like, you know, he's
just it so and I think that's why he likes
doing going to these events or these championships or final
matches or whatever, because it's like all this attention it's
happening in the US, and then he's there to lord
over it, to be like and there's me, the most
(42:11):
powerful man of the country.
Speaker 1 (42:13):
Yeah, this is my job. Usually goes to UFC fights,
where there's a big approval for him in that audience,
but at the US Open not so much. He got
booted a little bit, which we'll talk about in a second.
But just back to the point of there's this article
talking about how Trump having built the bulk of his
second terms domestic travel around attending major sports events, rather
(42:37):
than hitting the road to make policy announcements or address
the kind of large rallies he's so relished as a candidate.
Since returning to the White House in January and prior
to Sunday's US Open swing, Trump has gone to the
Super Bowl, the Daytona five hundred, UFC fights in Miami
and Newark, Great Ones, NCAA Wrestling Championship in Philadelphia, and
(42:57):
then the FIFA Club World Cup Final.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Now this I mean, yeah, good, great, great, Yeah, just
keep wasting everyone's fucking time. It's funny too, because like
also at the end of last week, there was a
huge gathering of like Arkansas sowybean farmers who were like,
we're like fucked yeah, wait, wait, we're supposed to export,
like a huge amount of this harvest to China and
there's no deals in place, which is alarming for the
(43:22):
entire business, and they're like what do we do.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
Trump's like, I'm going to go to the US Open
and lay over. Yeah, he appeared to fall asleep during
the match. There's also a moment where he like showed
a blue thing between his teeth that is hard to
make out, so people can't figure out. Or I said
it was a blue chew ad. Yeah. Yeah, I'm about
(43:45):
to get about to get wet over here, you know
what I'm saying, Jesus Christ. But yeah, somebody leaked an
email from the USTA US Tennis Association about like how
these appearances are handled, because you know, I remember during
the Super Bowl they showed him and there was like
(44:06):
a loud like kind of fake sounding like crowd roar
came up, and so there were you could hear booze,
but you can also hear like ah, And I was
always suspicious of that.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
Similar thing happened in this.
Speaker 1 (44:19):
Of course, the crowd was like half not there because
they were all waiting outside because he was there. But
this is the text from the USTA email that this
website bounces allegedly got leaked to them. With respect to
broadcast coverage, the president will be shown on the World
feed in the ash Court feed during the opening anthem ceremony.
(44:40):
We asked all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions
or reactions in response to the President's attendant in any capacity.
So not showcasing any reactions in response to the President's
attendance in any capacity. God, I mean, he's like treating
people's displeasure with him like you would a streaker, You
(45:01):
just like turn a rich game attention, attention.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
I mean, I'm sure you know I get that for
the super Bowl because enough of his people were watching
the super Bowl, so like, maybe you don't want them
to be like, Wow, people really don't like the president. Huh,
the US open bro mindes are made up. And also,
no one is making their judgment about Donald Trump based
on how many booze they hear at a fucking UFC fight, right,
(45:27):
everything else that's happening to people every day.
Speaker 1 (45:30):
That that is makes up the bulk of why people
respond like that. But yeah, I mean me, that's like
morbidly curious, and just like, are is everybody else seeing this?
Like isn't everybody Is it just the soybean farmers? Isn't
everybody else fucking outraged?
Speaker 2 (45:45):
And yeah, yeah, well think about it now, like with
tariffs man too, Like you see people who have like,
you know, a little like interests where they or hobbies
or like they buy things from outside of the country.
Like everyone's like, no one's safe from the policies at
this point. Not to say that it's existential for everyone,
because clearly people of color and people who are not
(46:07):
like Cishet, you know, Christian people are always going to
be under the threat of this regime. But like just
people who like trying to buy a thing from somewhere
else are not Like the.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
Tariffs, Well, why do I got to pay twenty dollars
on this thing that's that's only sixty bucks? This doesn't
make any sense, But I don't know, we'll see maybe
the maybe the booze will inspire something. My Nazi dining
plate set is so much more expensive now. Fuck now
I have to triangulate it and send it through Vietnam
(46:38):
to get it.
Speaker 3 (46:39):
Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1 (46:51):
Enter it back.
Speaker 3 (46:53):
Remains to be seen.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
Whether or not the Department of Health and Human Services
upcoming report will recommend the use of leech or exorcisms,
but according to The Wall Street Journal, it will suggest
that the use of tail and all by pregnant women
may potentially lead to autism and children. They're just throwing
out they got lots of theories here. Mm hmm. They
said this was just speculation, but they also claimed that
(47:16):
they're quote using gold standard science to get to the
bottom of America's unprecedented horizon autism rates, which kind of
makes it sound like they're just going to announce it
and then probably got their info from like the Google
AI and asking jeeves the why the fuck what? I
(47:39):
don't even know, Like what are we gonna fucking do?
Everyone's gonna have to eat rocks and shit, I got
a tummy age and eat rocks.
Speaker 2 (47:45):
Everything just wild, how truly? Like the logic is, like,
I don't know, just say it causes autism, yeah, policy,
Oh yeah, And even if we just think it.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
Might, we got we gotta call it out. And then
who are we going to put on the case? People
with no real bonafide medical training. Yeah yeah, with which
I'm medical training. We got to fire those motherfuckers.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
Oh, you know what cause aptism bonafide medical training.
Speaker 1 (48:14):
A few smaller studies that actually have suggested an association
between fetal exposure to acet of metaphine, the active ingredient,
and thilenol and subsequent risk of diagnosis with autism spectrum
disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, but the largest study
to date found no increased risk. And also that's like
(48:36):
such a massive like everybody uses thailanol, so that's going
to be really hard to Also, importantly, untreated fever during
pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage, birth defects, and premature birth,
and untreated pain can lead to maternal depression, anxiety, and
high blood pressure. So yeah, all of these things that
(48:59):
they're just like kind of coming out and throwing bombs about,
you know, just being like, yeah, well you know what
might like the way that like they they use all
the care and scientific examination of somebody sending an email
forward it seems like and so like no thinking it through,
(49:21):
just you know, whether it seems interesting and compelling to him,
you know, and then like passes.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
Yeah, the whole the whole health in human services arm
of the government is now just the correlation is causation
and that's that's it, which feels like can't somebody like
at this point, like just play dirty and cook up
a study about like something that would get RFK freaking
out about himself, Like i'mrest seen this new study man
(49:50):
about like touching dead bears and getting whale juice on
your on your fucking hands.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
Here, whatever fucking steroids he's taking, Like, oh right, exactly
what about TRT man? Do you read about that? You
know about that? You know about that, RFK? I don't know.
We'll see the overuse of the seta metapine is super dangerous.
But oh yeah, I'm glad. I grew up in a
house with an immigrant mom who said I didn't need
it all the time, fucking all the time. We didn't
(50:20):
have fun trying to get No.
Speaker 2 (50:23):
I wasn't even that no my mom, no, no, she wasn't.
She wasn't fucking with me like that. She she had
the ethos of just like a World War two hardened
boomer who was like, you don't need it, and I
was like, my but like my head hurts. She's like
it's fine, but like you're you're still talking. You can
get through it.
Speaker 1 (50:42):
And I was like, uh.
Speaker 2 (50:44):
And then I remember when I had like Osgrid schlaughters,
like joint pain from growing like growth spurts and stuff
like my knees would.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
Kill and she would be like, no, he's just use
some ice or whatever. I mean that did work, that
did help, But like, yeah, I guess my mom also
a world treatments. I feel like sometimes they were.
Speaker 2 (51:02):
She was also like of the thing where she's like,
I don't want you to get momentum going that when
you come up against a hardship, that there's a just
just take a pill for for that. Yeah yeahh And
I'm like, well that's I mean, that's a little that
cuts both ways. Like there are certain instances we absolutely
do do you need medication or to be medicated for something?
But hey, I get it, Mom, I get it. You're
(51:22):
building up a real tough kid who just cry in
his room with knee pain.
Speaker 1 (51:26):
Crying over his damn knees over there, all right. Uh.
And finally there's this Amazon backed company called Showrunner. They
made those terrible south Park videos where they were like, right,
we can ai a south Park episode. I created these
entire episodes of south Park that are unwatchable. I really
(51:48):
recommend people just like again if you if you have
any doubt about like the level of delusion that people
have over AI and like what is actually possible versus
like what is being promised, Like, just watch these episodes
of South Park because they think they're good. They're like,
look at this, this is incredible, and it's just fucking
(52:13):
like they just do plot exposition over and over again,
and they just and they make themselves like some of
the executives become like characters in this in the episode. Yeah,
it sucks. Shit. They claim that they're gonna be the
Netflix of AI. I don't know what that could like.
I guess that they're just going to like make tons
of streaming content with AI. That's just everybody's gonna want
(52:35):
to watch stupid buzzy pitch the blank of AI. Oh
we're the fucks of AI. Oh okay, So they're taking
there's a famous unfinished project orson Welles's, the Magnificent Amberson's.
It's kind of like the Royal Tent tenebaumbs like it's,
(52:56):
you know, a talented family. He turned it into the studio.
They added it to under ninety minutes without his permission
and learned the unused footage. They burned it like the
fuck out of here. Uh yeah, I mean Citizen King
wasn't like it didn't win the Oscar when it was made.
It was like, you know, people, I just wonder.
Speaker 2 (53:17):
I just love the fucking fuck you factor about being
like yeah, yeah, they're like, well, what about my other
foot We burned that shit, bro, that's it's gone.
Speaker 1 (53:26):
So that's so, did you think you had final cut? Yeah, dude,
that's just burnt. Fuck over at Orson. Okay, it's burned.
We burned it so fucking violently. It's like that happens
at the end of Citizen Kan. Yeah, they're like, yeah,
we actually thought we saw your last masterpiece. Uh loved
(53:48):
at the end when something was irrevocably lost to time,
the key answer in a fire, and so we decided
to burn your forty three minutes. Anyways, so they're they're
claim like, we're going to take those forty three minutes
and recreate them with AI, with just like dead eyed
versions of the actors that already exist, which I think
(54:11):
is just a dry run for making feature length AI slop.
They haven't even obtained the rights to do this. They're
just you know, like they did with the South Park
thing they didn't obtained. Yeah, Like, I'm sure this won't
be quite as absurd as the South Park thing, because
I don't think you can rewrite like they Hey, I
(54:33):
just can't do comedy, can't, like at least these guys
using AI can't do comedy. I mean clearly can't do
drama either, with like all the fucking robot still people
in the background.
Speaker 4 (54:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (54:44):
Yeah, so I don't know, we'll see. I'm claiming that
it won't. They won't be commercializing it, and it's purely
for academic value, but hopefully part of that is to
you know, release it to everybody so that we can
see what they come up with.
Speaker 2 (54:58):
Yeah, oh god, and everyone's going to be like, like, Wow,
this movie I've never fucking heard of. Yeah, thank god
you guys resurrected it like it's it's it's like even
the worst thing to even drum up excitement for this project.
I can think of many other things you could probably do,
but again, those probably those creators are probably.
Speaker 1 (55:16):
Still alive and are litigious. So you don't want to
go out here saying we're gonna we're gonna release the
Snyder cut with AI Yeah, a script must exist, right,
They're not just going to be like we just are guessing.
So they're working off a script. Even better. Yeah, they're like,
I don't know, this is just like has Citizen Cane vibes.
Speaker 2 (55:37):
We fed at the ninety minute cut and we're like,
hey man, add forty three minutes.
Speaker 1 (55:41):
It's just a post credit scene where various new magnificent
Amberson's are introduced. There's a skivity toilet in it too. Somehow,
It's very interesting, very interesting.
Speaker 2 (55:54):
God man, it's I mean the excitement like you say,
it's the same thing like I had as a kid
when I was uote unquote cooking, like at four years old. Yeah,
I put shit in a pot that was edible and
then I go, look, I made a sauce for the food, and.
Speaker 1 (56:09):
My parents go oh wow.
Speaker 2 (56:11):
And in my mind I'm motherfucking chef Ludo or Gordon
Ramsey or some shit, and they're like, the same fucking looks.
Speaker 3 (56:18):
Spring basted turkey. Yeah exactly, okay, thank thanks man.
Speaker 1 (56:23):
These people aren't artists.
Speaker 2 (56:26):
Get the thing to shoot out something that resembles human
expression and they go.
Speaker 3 (56:32):
Look what it did.
Speaker 1 (56:33):
It's the thing. It's art. I did art with the machine.
You made a fucking you made a sauce that four
year old Miles did and you're calling it cooking. Anyways,
we've learned today that uh copyright infringement causing diseases with
your hobby and uh war crimes are only a problem
if you're not a billionaire. There you go, and also
(56:55):
cheating at the cheating at basketball to fuck the CBA, man,
you know what I mean? Yeah, exactly. Finally I'm going
to say that because it's getting a billionaire in trouble.
Did you see I think there was a thing where
Mark Cuban is even like that's not even in the
cb and Pablos like it is. He's like, well sure maybe,
and it's like, see this is how.
Speaker 3 (57:15):
I'm not here to argue what's in the CBA.
Speaker 2 (57:19):
That was the other thing that was really just to
get back on that thing, where was it?
Speaker 1 (57:23):
What was a thing called a not a firm, a
spot aspiration aspiration when Mark Cuban was like, maybe they
wanted to pay Kawhi fifty million on their own because
they know it helps to be the sponsor of a
team that has Kawhi Leonard on it, so they have
their own motivation to do that, like Mark Cuban shut
the front door. Yeah all right, those are some of
(57:45):
the things that are trending on this Monday morning. We're
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 y'all tomorrow. Bye bye bye. The Daily Zeitgeist as
