Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this week trending episode
of Yeah, a production of iHeartRadio. I think I'm coming
a little hot. Let me turn down my levels. I
am Jack O'Brien. That is mister Miles Bread.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yes it is, Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
We are back from our holiday. Yeah, poor day weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Oh what a time, What a time?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Pour day week trend. I prefer the week trend.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Turning your house into the venue for Thanksgiving. Pros and cons,
But I pros outweigh the cons, to be honest, because
I don't I like the fact that I'm at home
and I don't have to think about going home. Yeah,
because I'm already there. And then people are like, oh
my god, thank you so much for hosts. I'm like, yeah, man,
do the dishes like you win? So yeah, it's a
(00:53):
but I guess, I guess if you don't like a
lot of ruckus and stuff, that can be something. But
you know, I'm at that age now where the pitter
of little feet and screaming over who gets to play
Mario Kart next is like music to my ears.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah. Man, that's we had the in laws and and
my mother in law kept apologizing for like taking over
the kitchen, and I was just like, Okay, I'll try
to forgive you.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but like that is like that is
so not on my radar that you're blowing my mind
with this apology right now. Whoa, I didn't even think
to even consider something like that. Well, no, you you
will be forgiven. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
But oh and seeing people on social media be like
talking about their travel and like flights and stuff like that. Oh,
just just gave me anxiety for them. Dude, Like, I'm
so glad I'm not coming back from somewhere right now.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Part of me, I'm not gonna lie. I was watching
that shit like schadenfreud of porn, like.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Oh my god, Oh that looked like it hurt.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
That line looks like about fourteen years long. Good luck
to you all. But yeah, and hey, bless y'all who
are out there, you know, braving the fucking lines and
everything like that, because it's crowded. It was crowded. It's
crowded out there.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
All right. Well, we're gonna get into some news in
a little bit. First, we like to open this week
trending episode by letting you get to know us a
little bit better and less some things that we've learned
something that we find to be underrated. Overrated. Miles, you
want to kick us off. What's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Underrated? First up? Just actually know the only thing I
have to actually know first first underrated that is a
nothing burger. But I just got to say, is the
fact that they saw Arby's a Horsey sauce at the store. Yes,
was such a welcome surprise as somebody who is a
Horsey sauce addicted to see it in a big squeeze bottle.
(02:55):
I was like, Okay, now I just got to get
a bunch of curly fries or something, and I can
rect a big Montana at home for myself. But the
true underrated for me was actually giving your Thanksgiving leftovers
new life. You know you'll do that like I did
that late Thursday night, like people are sleeping, like, you
(03:15):
know what, one more plate before I go to bed,
and then the next day you probably do a little
Thanksgiving like you know, breakfast plate or a sandwich. But
then you kind of like start losing momentum, so turning
that shit into something else like some you know, fucking
next level cruise ship chef. It is truly where it's
at So I turned my leftover mashed potatoes into cheesy
(03:37):
potato pancakes. So I took that, mixed it with some
like cheese and green onion and some egg flour, get
that nice consistency, and then just fucking grill them, you know,
fry them up in the frying pan. Boom. Got that,
and then you could put your leftover gravy on there, which,
like I said, I had a lot of leftover gravy
and yeah, yeah on top, on top, and then maybe
(04:01):
a little dollup of sour cream or whatever you want
to go there.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
See, I was just picturing you when I saw you
write this. I was picturing just like throw the mashed
potatoes in the like like on the pan. But you're
you're adding various ingredients.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, because you don't want to break apart, and so
you needed to, like you need a little bit of
a binding agent so you don't just get like these
tragic potato pancakes that Her Majesty attempted actually the day before.
And then also then that took the turkey carcass and
the bones and made a fucking stock. I was simmering
this stock for like six hours, Okay, just a light
(04:38):
simmer getting all that. Oh yeah that just that juicy
delicious out and I made a turkey lentil noodle soup
so good.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
So yeah, under I love some fucking lentils.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Man, also lentils underrated. The fucking are they? They got there?
A lagome? Right? Yeah? What else could they be?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah? I mean whatever deans are? Yeah, yeah, yeah them.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I don't know why, like because they're like discs. I'm
like that can't that's this is some kind of space
age logo that I know not of.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, I uh yeah, I've got a ham ham and
uh bean soup a simmern as we speak, Oh yeah
yeah yeah, because we went we went honey baked Yeah,
yeah for for a main meat uh that to save
(05:30):
myself hours in the kitchen and move those hours over
to waiting in line to pick up the honey bake.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, I got at least you give me on your phone.
And there's no way you fuck it up by not
paying attention during that stretch.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I had a very real food coma
uh situation like Thanksgiving we ate around for yeah that
which was like I had to I had to fight
to get it up that early. My wife was like,
what are you talking about? Why would we eat really? Wait,
we ate like six thirty. Why would we eat any
(06:06):
earlier than that? Me, I'm like, this is we eat
ourselves into a food coma, and then there's another meal after.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
But I.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Ate so little during the day and then so much
all at once during the meal that I couldn't get
off the couch for a second, yea a second helping.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I made that mistake too. I didn't eat at all
while I was preparing food. Then when dinner came, I
ate the biggest plate and I ate it like I
was like a firefighter and the fucking sirens are going off.
We had to get to a call. And then I
just like was fucking laid out after. It was bad.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, it was bad. I felt bad. Yeah, But I
cooked enough of the meal that I didn't feel bad
that I didn't help with the dishes.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Ah, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Anyways, My underrated is the degree to which Netflix has
basically won the streaming wars. At this point, I was
I was reading an article over the weekend about Life
on Air Planet, that documentary that I've been watching with
my kids. It's like, what if Nature documentary but dinosaurs,
(07:15):
And I was like, why are they writing this now?
This documentary came out last year, right, But that was
actually a different documentary, those Prehistoric Planet. It was by
David Attenborough, but it basically like doesn't exist because it
came out on Apple Plus. And so even though like
that got better reviews than the new Netflix documentary came
(07:39):
out a year before, is narrated by like David Attenborough, who,
like they talk about in this article, they're like, David
Attenborough documentaries are like the reason that all this exists,
but they don't even mention that other series once in
this article in The New Yorker. Yeah, and it's it's
just like everything once a thing, like once an old
(08:03):
show or like a concept hits Netflix, that's when it
actually becomes real. It feels like and like we kind
of noticed this back when during the pandemic we were
paying more attention to streaming numbers, Like the top ten
is by default whatever is trending on Netflix, and then occasionally,
like a blockbuster like Big, a big show from another
(08:24):
streamer would go up the charts, but it would always
just like kind of fall back out of the top
ten pretty quick and Meanwhile, like Suits is like Charlie
after he drinks the fizzy lifting drink, it just like
cannot come down. It's just stuck at the top of
the charts. Like yeah, so I don't know. And then
(08:45):
like other networks are now admitting defeat and like licensing
their content to Netflix again.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Back to them. They're like, hey, we're not going to
renew that Netflix deal because we're starting our own streamer.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
And then like, yeah, please please take ballers, sir, please
take dollars from us.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
They've got yeah HBO. So like I'm just predicting now
that you're going to start seeing shows like uh, Insecure,
I feel like it is going to be a big one.
But like because that one's they're licensing that to Netflix
the Pacific, I don't know, like they've got Band of
Brothers in the Pacific.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
They really are licensing by really licensing dollars back to Netflix,
that's going to be everywhere the article.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
And also Six Feet Under they're licensing to Netflix, which
I feel I feel like Six Feet Under is going
to have a real second life up that's gonna blow
you up.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
The move with Band of Brothers and the Pacific because
that that old Spielberg, Hanks World War two Humper team
is coming back with their new one about like the
pilots of World War two. Right, so I see what
they're like. It's all about ubiquity, man, get them talking
about it, because Netflix really is like it's like it's
like it's like the streaming equivalent of like having rabbit
(10:10):
ears antenna on your TV. Like, yeah, most people have
that shit or have access to seeing it. It's when
you start adding all this other shit like Apple Plus.
Like if if you're not in the Apple ecosystem, I
can hardly believe that you have a reason to pay
for Apple Plus. Yeah you know what I mean. Like
if you don't have Apple TV, or if you if
(10:31):
you rock Android or whatever, you might not be as
moved by the offerings. But the shows look like like
huge things, and I feel the same way. I'm like, oh, okay,
this probably looks like a ton of money, but in
my mind, I'm like, it's Apple Plus. Therefore is it good?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I don't know, right, Yeah, Like that Nathan Fielder show
that came out a couple of weeks ago, Okay, the Curse.
The Curse, Like I feel like, you know, people I
know are talking about it and seeing it. But I
don't have showtime, right, I don't have showtime, Like when
when it hits Netflix, I feel like, or if it
hits Netflix, I guess we'll have like a second round
where the rest of the population like, yeah, it is like,
(11:09):
you guys seen this Nathan Fielder guy. This guy is
so weird.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
It's like he's awkward, but it's like but he knows
what he's doing when he's right. It's really I don't understand.
It's really interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, but for now, I guess we'll have to put
up with a ballers.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah. But I mean, I think to your point, it
shows you how like you have reached true ubiquity and
domination when someone is putting out an Attenborough narrated nature
documentary and people are like, huh, yeah exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
It is like even the like the New York doesn't
even like mention it. I don't think in the whole
article they're just like.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Oh, they don't mentioned prehistoric planet.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
No, they don't mention prehistoric planet. It's all about the
making of the Netflix documentary and this guy who like
studied who like used to work for David Attenborough. But
like they don't even mention that this is like a
year after a critically acclaimed one from Attenborough and the BBC. Yeah,
it's pretty wild. So uh yeahpple, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Hey, work on your marketing, Apple, I guess that's all
we can say, Tim Apple, Come on, man.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, I feel like we've got we're There's just a
new rhythm to how media works, where movies to a
lesser degree, but definitely like streaming, stuff like comes out,
but then it really comes out when it hits Netflix.
And that might be seven years or like twenty years
after it first came out in the first place. But
(12:41):
that's when people are like, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
If those like royalties are good, that that must feels
so good. Though, if you're like, dude, this thing I
absolutely took a shit on years ago. I didn't think
it was going anywhere. It's like, it's now I can
now do things with my life from all the revenues
I've generated from being show exactly.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
What's what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Overrated? Look, I was talking about how I was at
Disneyland briefly touched on it on the What was that
today's episode? What episode? I don't know whenever we recorded.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
That Wednesday, I think, oh.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
No, yeah with crafted yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You talked about it on tomorrow's episode.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Talked about on tomorrow's episode. So just a bit of
time travel that does occur there. But as I was
just kind of thinking back there, like everything when you
go there and I know you were, I think you
were yeah World or did you go to land You
went to land World?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Okay, we went everything on the app there toot time
like spent looking at yo.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I'm sorry that ship is terrible. The app itself works
fine for the most part, like it's stable, like whatever
the UI great, blah blah blah. It's more that like
the app being a huge central part of the experience
is what I think is really deeply overrated. Like even
down to ordering your food at what used to be
(14:03):
like some places you can get in line, other places
like do your mobile order, say you want to pick up.
I get that it makes things easier, but there are
times when I was so confused, like I would I
would try to like walk up to like a seated restaurant,
like you gotta check the app, right, I'm like, but
you're right here, motherfucker. At the fucking mitro d stand
with all of the information right there? What if I
(14:25):
what if? What if your fucking app has drained my
battery so fucking bad, I'm having to plug that shit
in in a bathroom right now to try and get
my shit going again. Like dude, it's such a fucking
and anyway, So as I was there, like I felt
like Tommy Lee Jones in No Country for Old Men,
Like everything was at based like they laughed at you
(14:46):
if you're like, is there another way to ask for this?
And I get again definite advantages like like there's it'll
cut down on certain time if you plan it well,
but if you're not that sad the like it kind
of makes things a little bit like it gives the
advantage to people who know how to use the app,
whether that's like knowing like what line to be in
(15:08):
or what place to get your reservations to or whatever.
It just feels like a very uh, I don't know,
it was just a lot, And it was a lot, yeah,
like take so much of my attention and to be
on my phone like that. I was truly just like
missing the feeling of having a crumpled up map in
my pocket, like.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Just being in the moment and being in the like
physical place you are, and so like being having to
like keep bringing up your phone. Yeah exactly. Yeah, just
churn through your battery life.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
It's it really does. And I just felt like, like,
you know, I was navigating like the New York streets
like as a as a like a tourist for the
first time on Google Match, like turn here, where's the
thing is it? On that app? So yeah, shout out
to that. And also another sort of Disneyland adjacent overrated
(15:56):
people wearing their fucking political phrase t shirts. Y'all, the
effect of your shirt is not quite what you think
it is. And because I saw so mans, like I
get it, man, Disneyland is the fucking like nexus central
like focal point of America. And I went in probably
the busiest time of year, and it was just so wild.
(16:18):
Like it's like I you know, like when you're this
happens with like liberals too, but with people who watch Fox,
especially like you probably aren't near anybody who thinks differently
than them. Is like they watch Fox and they spent
their whole time like fighting an invisible, made up liberal
person in their head. That's like when I meet up man. Yeah,
like I'm gonna be wearing my let's Go Brandon shirt
(16:42):
with my gun hat or whatever, and like people were
just there like walking around just like really like huh huh,
look at this shirt that's your handgun on. It says
you can't you can't reason with evil, but you can
prepare for it. And I'm like, sir, you got Mickey
Mouse years on and you are Okay, that's fine, that's
(17:03):
just yeah, I get it. This is where we go
to to let people know.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
How Jesus yeah, from my overrated I think I'm overrated.
I had overrated how long we've known about dinosaurs because
like so I did read the article. You know, there's
this new Netflix documentary you got to see that has
this amazing advance where it brings dinosaurs into a nature documentary.
(17:30):
It's crazy. But I don't know. They were just like
going in one section of the article. They're going through
like the history of palaeontology and how like I assumed
kids were always just obsessed with dinosaurs, and I guess
it really started in the eighties like that that was
(17:50):
the first generation to be obsessed with dinosaurs. And like
so they talk about how as recently as the seventeen hundreds,
they were like finding dinosaur bo and thought they were
scrotums of giant humans. Like they named one of the
animals Scrotum humanum, the scrotum of a giant human like creature.
(18:12):
And then like decades after that, this guy found it
was like, I think it's a big I think it's
a big lizard. Actually is it?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Because like they're looking at like the ball joint or something, yeah,
like a fever, and like they're like, I kind of
see it actually, like when you look at a giant bone,
like if you just picture it with a bone one
round part yeah, yeah, yeah, like the ball joint on
the femur. You're like, dude, that's a big old scrotum.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
But like got must be a guy with a big,
big balls.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Right, But like and then is there some other person
who knows basic anat me, like what's connected to like
a long bone?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, that one goes up inside you. I think that
part goes No, that's the dick. Whoa Okay, well wait,
how weird is your dick?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Man?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
So strange? You think the balls and the dick are
on a straight line?
Speaker 4 (19:09):
I wonder William, Wait, who was the guy who I
wonder who the guy was who was insisting it was
a scrotum, Like very interesting just world view or like
you're you're so patriarchy brained that everything is a dick
or balls to you.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Right, yeah that's and nobody like you're so patriarchy brained.
And also like everybody else's so everyone's just like, yeah,
that's it was Richard Brooks, an English physician. Brooks, Yeah, yeah,
he Dick Brooks, an English physician, reconsidered a detailed drawing
(19:45):
of the fossil and gave it a specific name that
matched what he believed it was, scrotum humanum, the scrotum
of a giant human like creature. But then like, I
don't know, so then the eighteen hundred's was the first
time they I really got the idea that there are
a lot of extinct creatures, like they didn't because there's
(20:06):
like something kind of difficult existentially to be like, oh,
we're just like the latest, you know, like that whole
thing of like humans time on the planet is like
a brief blink compared to true history of the planet.
But I didn't like they mentioned this Netflix documentary that
ninety nine percent of all species that have ever lived
(20:27):
are now extinct ninety nine percent.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Oh my god, Well, I guess when you considered like this,
just like a ton of bugs and stuff I never
even heard of.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
So it's all good, yeah, but it's And they also
mentioned that the dominant species rarely survives the major extinctions,
which bad news for makes bad news for these guys.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, because with our thick skin that can withstand temperatures
above barely one hundred degrees.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, but yeah, I don't know, the
world didn't really get excited about dinosaurs until the nineteen eighties,
Like the paleontologists started getting excited about it and like
putting things in museums in like the sixties, and like
for a long time that t rex that famous like
t rex skeleton was the only dinosaur skeleton that like
(21:20):
was on display. But yeah, like they didn't come up
with the asteroid extinction like theory until the nineteen eighties.
And I don't know, it's just like it's this huge
idea that changes completely how you see the world, right,
And you know, very recently, relatively recently, people were finding
(21:44):
big bones and being like, man that looks like giant
balls and it's just a dick. Yeah, that's a dick.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I don't know, I don't know, doctor.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, but exactly an English physician imagine being that guy's patient.
But like just these big pieces of existential perspectives that
we digest and like immediately it changes how we view
the world, and we kind of take it for granted
(22:17):
that there's always been this like fascinating idea out there
that like these massive giant creatures like ruled the planet
and then got marked and the same thing it happened
to us. I'm just like, if we're around, it'll just
be interesting, you know, to think about how like what
(22:39):
the next giant pieces of like perspective will be that
we don't have yet. I'm assuming they'll be coming from like,
you know, looking up instead of digging down.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
But keep your eyes to this, guys, that's right, see
what happens. And then people will be like, nah, dude,
this is a dick. What more like clearly a UFO. No, no, no,
that's dude, that's like military sperms or something. Dude. Okay, sure, sure.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Sure, yeah, all right, let's uh, let's take a quick
break and we'll be right back. And we're back and uh,
Fox News. Yeah, it's always good to check in with
(23:37):
what they've been up to. You want to find out
how your friends were, how their holiday was.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Who was your holiday holiday?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Fox News?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah. I just a quick one because I'm still kind
of my mind is blown. I think like, look, it
was probably a long weekend at Fox and they didn't
know what to get angry about on Sunday or today.
And here we go. We have a guy called Charlie
Hurt and he's big hurt over the fact that VP
(24:06):
Kamala Harris and her tweet to celebrate the holiday had
a gas stove in the background when they're trying to
take them from us, and here we go.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
It's so funny that people they saw that, you know,
her tweet, they saw her stove, they rightly heckled and
mocked her and made fun of her and ridiculed her.
And then all of the Democrats freaked out and went
on and jumped online and said, oh no, wait a minute,
they don't want to take away the gas stoves.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
That's misinformation.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
No, they do want to take away the gas stoves,
and in fact, they are taking away the gas stories.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
This is where they control things.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I just want to say they are in fact not
taking the gas stove, and they in fact don't want
to take away your fucking guest stoves. But again, and
I like a little bit of jo, but tell us
why this is the sick ass setup from the anchor
at the desk, Wye is that is that? Why?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Why do you why do they want to ban Gusto?
Speaker 5 (25:10):
I think because they hate us, They hate humans, they
hate joyfulness.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
They pies anyway, So that's how they started their week off.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
They hate joy He even took the second He was
because this ship that conspiracy theory. I don't even know
what the fuck you want to call this. At this point,
this talking point is so fucking tired that even he
was like, why uh what we used to say? They
hate humans and pie weird dealing with an intergalactic droid
race that hates fucking joy That's true?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I mean, yeah, they nailed us.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
They hate your freedoms.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Well over here on my preferred news outlet where I
get most of my information.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
To a little little share. Okay, I was on Fox.
You were looking at Goop.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I was looking at Goop and they just dropped their
gift guide and Miles, there are some pretty pretty interesting ideas.
In here we got a twenty four carrot gold vibrator
low price of fifteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Okay, what the fuck is it made of? Out is
just the whole thing is like a gold bar that
you get.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
It actually like in your hands because it's so just
pure soft gold. It's actually a huge health hazard.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yeah, you don't, don't, don't don't get that in you.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Know, comes in a case like a fancy pen and yeah,
they dude.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
There's so many weird things on here, like uh, the
like one is just like a fucking platter for for
fruit that's like four hundred dollars to be like put
your per simmons on a pedestal or a perch for
your peaches.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Oh, they use the literation. That's just because they're good
at their job. Another one, Uh, there's an antique s
cargo pic holder and it's basically it's shaped like a
tiny erect penis with a giant scrotum. Speaking of giant scrotum, yeah,
that seems to be the theme of the day. I
(27:18):
think you may be right if you said no, that's
a scrotum. This one. I think we're right because I
like the it's supposed to be a snail shell, but
the head of the snail is definitely a little Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
The head of the snale snail looks like the head
of a penis, Yes, for sure. I don't know the
scientific term for that part down there, but it was that.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yes. Also I don't know is that you eat s
cargo with picks. I thought you needed to like.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Scoop a little fork. I mean, okay, I think or
maybe yeah, like I mean to get it out of
the shell. I mean, jack, I haven't been I haven't
been to Paris in so long. Forgive me for for misremembering.
We definitely need the little shell holder like thing that
holds a shell and then use like a tiny fork
to pull out the little snail. Could be for you martinis.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, yeah, there's also the foreholder that's a little dick.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
The other thing that's like wow, is like a two
hundred dollars fucking sword that's just made for sabering a
champagne bottle. Like this is truly, these are simple.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Must treat yourself, treat the ones you love.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Do you know someone who's so haunted by their own
wealth that they know not how to enjoy anything except
to just lavish themselves with the most overpriced these society
you're as a gift guide.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yeah, I keep running into these. Like we we mentioned
it back when we were talking about Harlan Crowe and
there was that profile from the guy who, like Graham Wood, Yeah,
lived in Harlan Crowe's town and like used to run
by his house and he talked about how Harlan crow
is just unburdening him himself of his wealth. And like
(29:02):
there is another article that we're researching about, you know,
just real estate and like what private equity is doing
to like people's ability to own homes or even like
live without roommates, right, you know people are living with
roommates later and later on because yeah, and like when
(29:22):
you look into real estate articles about how people are investing,
like what why this is happening? And it's like, you know,
companies and like private investors are buying up houses that
they don't live in and just you know using them
as investment properties. Like the description of that is like
(29:43):
there's all this money slashing around after the recession and
COVID and it's like yeah, because they like they just
covered up all the money at the top it's.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Just like slashing around like people. I mean, they might
be able to like use some of that to like
help people, but nah, nah by this fifteen thousand dollars
whole vibrator.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah. There's also an article in the New York Times
opinion last week that was about how the wealthy are
historically an exceptionally like greedy and not giving back to
society in any way like at this time, which right,
on the one hand, it's like, yeah, we kind of
(30:27):
knew that, but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
But that used to kind of be like how a
lot of shit got built in the US too. They'd
be like yeah, aha, yes, oh, an entire hospital for
you to because I feel bad that I shot all
those laborers who asked for for who asked for a
living wage. Well you know, the pinkertons, they know how
to hold it down for you. But yeah, I get yeah.
(30:51):
Now that's all we see like reflected back to us.
At every level. It was like nobody wants to or
they do this thing where it's like I give back,
I pay my taxes. No you don't, Yes, they don't.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
They and they've been investing in lawyers who make sure
that they don't have to pay taxes like that. That's
been lawyers and politicians like, oh yeah, in a multi decade,
like as long as I've been alive, they have been
moving the goal line so that they don't have to
pay taxes like they used to. And that's where this
(31:24):
historic inequality is coming from. And that's why we we
get products like from the Goop Gift Guide stay at
Turtle Island in Fiji for the price of thirty nine
five hundred dollars. Now, I know what you're thinking. That
does sound reasonable until until you realize that it's a
(31:46):
minimum three nights day and that's thirty nine five hundred
per night.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Kid, Absolutely fucked? Is it? Is it just like an
Are you just going to an entire island or something?
Is that? Is that what this saying?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
So you get three nites stay Turtle Eye Island in
Fiji and it's just you, I guess. So, I mean,
I don't know, like I don't know what what is
required if it's just you, or if it's all like
human furniture, like the whole place, all of your furnishing,
you're like sleeping on servants. Yeah, and like servants, you.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Rush your teeth with someone else's teeth. That's what's cool
about Turtle Island. For forty grand a night, that's like,
and given the way shit costs, that's a fucking I mean,
I feel like a Toyota Corolla now costs forty thousand
dollars because the price night fucked up.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
That's the minimum, like one hundred and twenty thousand dollars
of uh for for a stay at a hotel. I'm
kind of makes it just it makes sense when you
realize that they their biggest problem is like they have
too much money slashing around. Yeah, you know, god, what
(32:56):
am I What else am I going to spend it on?
They won't let me collect Nazi memorabilia and yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
What can I help? How much does this It's forty
grand a night? Okay, great, I'll stay here for like
fucking six months.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yeah wow, wow, get rid of some of this.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I mean, yeah, it is like the list is always
I mean, like I do like the list merely for
the fact that it gives such an interesting insight into
like what you do when you have such obscene disposable income. Yeah,
like I don't you know what I mean? Like, I'm like, oh, yeah,
I know what a I know what a good blanket costs,
(33:31):
like one hundred bucks or something like if you like
want like a fucking lit ass blanket, And then they're like, now,
this one's three thousand fucking dollars.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah, and you're like, what, I feel like we perfected
the couch cushion do we need? Like, hey, man, you
got it. You can always go meta with like some
hyper priced item, but yeah, there's a four hundred and
twenty five dollars blanket.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
There's one, and this is on a gift guide. A
residence for at the well Bay Harbor Islands for four million,
four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. So you buy someone
a home for the holidays.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah, okay, well I get it. It's you've you've you've
successfully outraged me goop again. You've done it, You've done it.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
You can also buy two thousand dollars gong.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Ooh an eight hundred and twenty dollars copper fun dupot.
Now I'm back now.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
But yeah, it's the sort of thing that we need
to like rewake up to, like and see again with
fresh eyes as often as possible, and like, yeah, thank
you to the Goop Guide for helping us do that.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Yeah, thank you, thank you. Keep an eye on the prize.
My two hundred dollars Champagne saber so you can quote
party like it's seventeen ninety nine. Yeah, things are great
for me back then, right when we were just screaming
about biracial monstrosity children and the fact that dinosaur bones
were Yeah, seventeen ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Back we go.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come back.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
And we're back. We're back.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
I don't like this next story, Miles, but you don't
like I don't like being reminded.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Well, okay, so the route put out there like just
a reminder you're like some of the top fucking albums
that are turning twenty five years old this year.
Speaker 6 (35:33):
And nineteen ninety eight was apparently twenty eight, twenty five
years ago, I'm pretty sure to me, feels like five
years ago.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
I'm just gonna I'm just this is a trickling, just
a light sampling of the albums that are turning twenty,
that are turning twenty five this year or have already.
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill a quemin nine, It's dark
in Hell's Hot, So My Flesh, Blood of My Blood.
Both DMX put out two albums in nineteen Classics Juveniles
(36:06):
four hundred Degrees, the first Black Star album, Hard Knock
Life Volume two, jay Z a Tribe Call.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
For some reason, that's the only one that actually feels
that old to me. Hard Knock Life Volume two.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Love Movement by a Trip clock Quest feel what older?
Younger to you know?
Speaker 1 (36:24):
That feels younger to me? Okay, dude, Hard to Take
Life Volume two is it's like very specifically placed in
a place in time for me in high school. And
also it just feels like it stays kind of in
rotation in a way that like always reminds me of
the fact that it's old.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
You know, right right right Love Movement by a Tribe
clock Quest that he got game original soundtrack, Come On Now,
Capital Punishment, Big pun for Theriz Bobby Digital. I'm like,
when I look at just the list and that's not
even like, you know, there was like Mop came, like,
there's an Mop album that year, Gangstar, There's a ton
(37:03):
of fantastic albums. But when I look at this list,
I just feel like I'm looking at my case logic
CD Binder thing. I'm like, Yep, there's there's my Miseducation,
there's my DMX album, there's my Qumini that's next to
at Aliens, and there's my I got that new Juvie
the four hundred Degrees. I also got JT Money back then.
It's like all these albums, but I don't know. I honestly,
(37:24):
for whatever reason for me, it does not feel that
long ago. I wonder if because I am still a
mental juvenile and my fashion tastes have also not evolved
past nineteen ninety eight. So in that says, Mike, what
are you talking about? Baby? Nineteen ninety eight was yesteryear,
that was just two days ago.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
That was very recent. Yeah, yeah, mis educational Lauren Hilen
a Clemini that fucks me up.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Miseducation Is it good? I've been playing that for the
guy's child, Yeah, because like babies like to be sung to,
like I don't know, like I mean, like a mystery.
They like being sung to, even if you're at it.
But that's like one of the albums where, like I
will Mourn Hill songs, I can really get all emote
and really give the baby the performance that he deserves.
(38:10):
So yeah, I've been playing that pretty regularly.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Nice, all right, just checking around for some things that
happened over the weekend. We got the Macy's parade being
interrupted by pro peace protesters, and there is some wild
imagery of like protesters, you know, blocking the parade route
and then like getting forced out of the way so
(38:32):
they could let a giant Ronald McDonald through, like while
while like children are on the sideline, be like, boo, what.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Do you mean, what do you mean? No more death,
no more needless child death, boom, make way for Ronnie.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Right. To be fair, the people protesting the current genocide
were getting in the way of the balloons used to
celebrate a holiday predicated on an entirely different genocide. So
we're trying to focus on this other one.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Please, we're trying to erase the memory of this other thing. Now, now,
bring on SpongeBob.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Thirty four people were arrested by the NYPD as a
result of the protest. But yeah, it's gave us some
really good visual metaphors of like, you know, peaceful protesters
being arrested for speaking out against a humanitarian catastrophe to
make way for the Sinclair Oil dinosaur.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah, speaking of dinosaurs. Yeah, back in a big way,
but like this is all I mean, like between that,
then there was the three Palestinian students were shot in Vermont.
Some guy like just shot these three students. No one
passed away like luckily, and you know, they're like they're
(39:56):
they're trying to figure out if it was a hate
crime or whatever. There's there's a ton of stuff. And
then we had the hostage swaps happen. Yeah, and we're
still like it sounds like right now that you know,
people are like wondering, can the the White House put
enough pressure to maybe prolong this to make just just
to get a little bit more something lasting rather than
(40:18):
just like this couple day pause. So yeah, there's there's
just a lot a lot was happening. Yeah, in the
realm of of you know, Palestine Israel talks and yeah,
and just even how like it's it's manifesting now, like
you know, like in our own country now we're seeing
all kinds of hate crimes go up. And yeah, yeah
(40:43):
not great.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Over on over on Fox, the hosts criticized the nasty
protesters because this event was supposed to be about people
giving thanks, and another guy questioned what do they want even,
which is very frustrating as they're wearing free palace venture
it's chanting, we need to cease fire and not another nickel,
(41:05):
not another dime, no more money for Israel's crimes. Like
what what could they what? But what are they say?
Speaker 2 (41:13):
What?
Speaker 1 (41:13):
I don't understand the words coming out of your mouth,
Like what are you even trying to say right now?
Speaker 2 (41:18):
I mean that's yeah, I would do that too if
I didn't want my viewers to know what they were
there for.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Like I can't even know what they're saying shrieking. If
you're shrieking right now, I can't understand you.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
What do you keep I think they're podcasters. They may
have shouted out some kind of offer code for twenty
percent off your first meal. I don't know what they want.
It's very confusing. Please bring in SpongeBob.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Yes, thank you.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Did you watch the Braid?
Speaker 5 (41:44):
No?
Speaker 1 (41:45):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
I watched a replay of it or like, I don't know.
I think I was able to, like on demand something
just to have on the background. And it's just like
I felt so bad for the musical performers because it's
fully lip synced, like there's no room for sucking any
real human performance. Yeah, and they had like the Roots
band and like Jimmy Fallon do a thing and like
(42:07):
poor quest Love. Do you remember like in Airheads the
movie Airheads were like they're like like they wanted to
perform live before like they went to prison or whatever.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
No, I didn't. I never saw Airheads with.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Brendan Fraser and Steve Buscemi and Adam Sandler.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
They're like sand Man. I know, it was like Adam
Sandler movie when I was like craving Adam Sandler movies,
and I for whatever reason was just like, nah, that
one doesn't look right to make it looks like a
real Sandler.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
It's so funny. I don't know. I don't know how
well it ages. But there's like a part where like
they're like like you know, they take over this radio
station to get their like band poping or whatever, and
they demand doing a live show. And when they actually
set up the live show so they release the hostages
or whatever, they like realized the whole set has to
be like dubbed, and they're like, what we're not doing
no lip syncing and like they like throw their arms
(42:55):
up while like the song is happening to like protest
the fact that it was a lip synced like they
were playing with a track, and anyway, the way like
Questlove was on drums reminded me of him slowly being like, man,
I ain't even fucking playing. What if I just fake
played to be a dickhead because we can't do anything?
But yeah, it's it's it's hard when you watch like
(43:15):
real musicians up there being like here this is I'm
playing an instrument that isn't even present in the audio
you're hearing right now.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
Yeah. By the way, Sinclair oil dinosaur balloon not historically accurate.
We discovered uh from from a listener who I think
when we had doctor Grant on. She was speculating that
she thought, like a lot of the fossil fuels came
from dinosaurs, but the fossil fuels are mostly plankton.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Yeah, not as exciting a logo.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
Yeah, so not not as exciting a logo.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
And here comes the Sinclair plankton float.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
Yeah, although those things are gnarly up close. Plankton up close.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Yeah, it was like fucking gross pieces as ship fuck
with no plankton. Dude looked like a bagan in my
mouth bro Yeah, I have fucking comb in the sea
to eat that crap.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
And finally, uh, we did you catch any of uh?
Anna Indiana? No, this is a AI singer songwriter who
dropped a track on the world Betrayed by this Town.
That is yet another example of like whenever, like we
should just look at this when everyone's like AI is
(44:30):
already here and going to take our jobs. Maybe maybe
that's true, but this looks like shit and sounds like
shit and completely lax any modicum of humanity, Like the
thing that art is supposed to have.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
My favorite cafe ping my teast.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Indiana. Yeah, sitting at my favorite cafe drinking tea. Oh
my god. What.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
Then there's like some faux like edgic prop in there
where she's like talks about feeling betrayed by this town
and wanting to tear it all down. Oh, which I
don't know. Yeah, sorry, could be like the Terminator future
coming through a little bit. But some people were like, oh,
(45:28):
of course the AI is woke, woke mob.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
Yeah, I'm sorry, Anna, Indiana, but it's definitely a no
for me. Dog you know, just you tried. It's so
like even the animation is really animation.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
Is so wild because she just like makes unblinking eye
contact with the camera the whole time with this like
weird half smile on her face.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
Yeah, and the body shape too, is like it's sort
of like it's clearly doing the thing where they had
like a still image, but like just animate the head.
Don't even make the shoulders or torso move like a
human would. It's like fix in the head is just like, Hi,
I am anna Indiana and I hate this town. Here's
how you make napalm with a little bit of styrofoam.
(46:12):
Follow me kids, like y'all the I think to andrew T,
I remember like when we first started talking about this,
and andrew T was on the thing that I was
stuck with me about him like just being like, man,
fuck these Ais and like their ability to create stuff
is like they have no fucking taste, Like there's no
like there's it's not drawing from anything that would give
(46:32):
you something that like resonates. I get when like they
can make another artist say some shit like that evokes
a ton of stuff for you just listening to it,
where it's like I don't know who in Indiana is
And this sounds like a Teddy Ruckspin that got damaged
in a storm or something.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, like having having one artist voice covering
another artist's song is like enough that there's like something
kind of at least temporarily fascinating to listen to there,
but this one is. Yeah, well, when you try and
go fully original, it's not.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
To hear it again, dude.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
Thinking about all he's done, everyone who everyone.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
Broken dreams, shattered hopes and silent screams. Wow, you know
this is those lyrics are of somebody who tried to
have a career and didn't make it, and they're like,
fuck it if I can't have this track that maybe
Anna Indianda has.
Speaker 1 (47:40):
Yeah, yeah, I feel I feel like that's this is
being puppeted like some you know middle There's something so.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Dark behind this, you know, like there is the lyrics
have this like you know Steve Bannon when he couldn't
be funny or actually an entertainment industry kind of anger
behind it. Yes, yeah, yeah, it's just my La Riots
musical didn't take off because this town's full of fucking
(48:07):
broken dreams. Oh man.
Speaker 1 (48:12):
Yeah, well, anyways, we can't wait to see what she
does with the rest of her career nearly an artistic revelation.
Speaker 2 (48:19):
Hopefully the artist can render the other half of her
face too, so when she turns, it's not just becomes
like a weird shadow. But hey, yeah, uh well, we're
rooting for you Anna too, for your motherboard to melt
down or whatever we do to wish a is is
a demise.
Speaker 1 (48:38):
Jam was pointing out that her name sounds like a
Mad magazine parody of Hannah Montana.
Speaker 2 (48:43):
Oh my god, yeah, the work, Yeah, it's truly. We've
got Hannah Montana at home, honey.
Speaker 1 (48:49):
Yeah, but like Anna Indiana is like it. That's because
like it already, the last name has the word Anna
in it.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
Yeah. I guess what could they are? Are there are
other names like that if they're trying to do that
same kind of naming convention, like state last name with
a fun.
Speaker 1 (49:09):
H Becky New York, you know, I mean, something classy
like Becky, New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
Like Tia, California. I don't know, look y'all, it's it's
that's why Hannah Montana works, y'all. Yeah, you know what
I mean. Just leave it alone. Something you don't have
to perfect.
Speaker 1 (49:31):
Yeah, Disney have that Disney Channel basically AI. That ship
has felt like it was written by AI, like all
along a little bit so which one the Disney Channel,
just like when I like hear about what it because
I never like really watched it growing up, but then
like what I would hear about it from a distance
(49:51):
and be like, what is this feels so strange? Is
maybe it was like an adult looking at children culture
and bea like stupid, Oh that's okay, smart, okay than
that five year old you put.
Speaker 2 (50:09):
On a magic jersey and now you're marshall fulk.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
Okay, okay, all right. Those are some of the things
that are trending on this Monday morning. We are back
tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show, which
hold onto your butts. You already heard that, you're already
already know it's a crofting joint, y'all.
Speaker 2 (50:32):

we will talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (50:44):
Fight bye.
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this week trending episode
of Yeah, a production of iHeartRadio. I think I'm coming
a little hot. Let me turn down my levels. I
am Jack O'Brien. That is mister Miles Bread.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yes it is, Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
We are back from our holiday. Yeah, poor day weekend.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Oh what a time, What a time?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Pour day week trend. I prefer the week trend.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Turning your house into the venue for Thanksgiving. Pros and cons,
But I pros outweigh the cons, to be honest, because
I don't I like the fact that I'm at home
and I don't have to think about going home. Yeah,
because I'm already there. And then people are like, oh
my god, thank you so much for hosts. I'm like, yeah, man,
do the dishes like you win? So yeah, it's a
(00:53):
but I guess, I guess if you don't like a
lot of ruckus and stuff, that can be something. But
you know, I'm at that age now where the pitter
of little feet and screaming over who gets to play
Mario Kart next is like music to my ears.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah. Man, that's we had the in laws and and
my mother in law kept apologizing for like taking over
the kitchen, and I was just like, Okay, I'll try
to forgive you.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but like that is like that is
so not on my radar that you're blowing my mind
with this apology right now. Whoa, I didn't even think
to even consider something like that. Well, no, you you
will be forgiven. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
But oh and seeing people on social media be like
talking about their travel and like flights and stuff like that. Oh,
just just gave me anxiety for them. Dude, Like, I'm
so glad I'm not coming back from somewhere right now.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Part of me, I'm not gonna lie. I was watching
that shit like schadenfreud of porn, like.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Oh my god, Oh that looked like it hurt.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
That line looks like about fourteen years long. Good luck
to you all. But yeah, and hey, bless y'all who
are out there, you know, braving the fucking lines and
everything like that, because it's crowded. It was crowded. It's
crowded out there.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
All right. Well, we're gonna get into some news in
a little bit. First, we like to open this week
trending episode by letting you get to know us a
little bit better and less some things that we've learned
something that we find to be underrated. Overrated. Miles, you
want to kick us off. What's something you think is underrated?
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Underrated? First up? Just actually know the only thing I
have to actually know first first underrated that is a
nothing burger. But I just got to say, is the
fact that they saw Arby's a Horsey sauce at the store. Yes,
was such a welcome surprise as somebody who is a
Horsey sauce addicted to see it in a big squeeze bottle.
(02:55):
I was like, Okay, now I just got to get
a bunch of curly fries or something, and I can
rect a big Montana at home for myself. But the
true underrated for me was actually giving your Thanksgiving leftovers
new life. You know you'll do that like I did
that late Thursday night, like people are sleeping, like, you
(03:15):
know what, one more plate before I go to bed,
and then the next day you probably do a little
Thanksgiving like you know, breakfast plate or a sandwich. But
then you kind of like start losing momentum, so turning
that shit into something else like some you know, fucking
next level cruise ship chef. It is truly where it's
at So I turned my leftover mashed potatoes into cheesy
(03:37):
potato pancakes. So I took that, mixed it with some
like cheese and green onion and some egg flour, get
that nice consistency, and then just fucking grill them, you know,
fry them up in the frying pan. Boom. Got that,
and then you could put your leftover gravy on there, which,
like I said, I had a lot of leftover gravy
and yeah, yeah on top, on top, and then maybe
(04:01):
a little dollup of sour cream or whatever you want
to go there.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
See, I was just picturing you when I saw you
write this. I was picturing just like throw the mashed
potatoes in the like like on the pan. But you're
you're adding various ingredients.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Yeah, because you don't want to break apart, and so
you needed to, like you need a little bit of
a binding agent so you don't just get like these
tragic potato pancakes that Her Majesty attempted actually the day before.
And then also then that took the turkey carcass and
the bones and made a fucking stock. I was simmering
this stock for like six hours, Okay, just a light
(04:38):
simmer getting all that. Oh yeah that just that juicy
delicious out and I made a turkey lentil noodle soup
so good.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
So yeah, under I love some fucking lentils.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Man, also lentils underrated. The fucking are they? They got there?
A lagome? Right? Yeah? What else could they be?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah? I mean whatever deans are? Yeah, yeah, yeah them.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I don't know why, like because they're like discs. I'm
like that can't that's this is some kind of space
age logo that I know not of.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, I uh yeah, I've got a ham ham and
uh bean soup a simmern as we speak, Oh yeah
yeah yeah, because we went we went honey baked Yeah,
yeah for for a main meat uh that to save
(05:30):
myself hours in the kitchen and move those hours over
to waiting in line to pick up the honey bake.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, I got at least you give me on your phone.
And there's no way you fuck it up by not
paying attention during that stretch.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I had a very real food coma
uh situation like Thanksgiving we ate around for yeah that
which was like I had to I had to fight
to get it up that early. My wife was like,
what are you talking about? Why would we eat really? Wait,
we ate like six thirty. Why would we eat any
(06:06):
earlier than that? Me, I'm like, this is we eat
ourselves into a food coma, and then there's another meal after.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
But I.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Ate so little during the day and then so much
all at once during the meal that I couldn't get
off the couch for a second, yea a second helping.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I made that mistake too. I didn't eat at all
while I was preparing food. Then when dinner came, I
ate the biggest plate and I ate it like I
was like a firefighter and the fucking sirens are going off.
We had to get to a call. And then I
just like was fucking laid out after. It was bad.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Yeah, it was bad. I felt bad. Yeah, But I
cooked enough of the meal that I didn't feel bad
that I didn't help with the dishes.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Ah, there you go, there you go.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Anyways, My underrated is the degree to which Netflix has
basically won the streaming wars. At this point, I was
I was reading an article over the weekend about Life
on Air Planet, that documentary that I've been watching with
my kids. It's like, what if Nature documentary but dinosaurs,
(07:15):
And I was like, why are they writing this now?
This documentary came out last year, right, But that was
actually a different documentary, those Prehistoric Planet. It was by
David Attenborough, but it basically like doesn't exist because it
came out on Apple Plus. And so even though like
that got better reviews than the new Netflix documentary came
(07:39):
out a year before, is narrated by like David Attenborough, who,
like they talk about in this article, they're like, David
Attenborough documentaries are like the reason that all this exists,
but they don't even mention that other series once in
this article in The New Yorker. Yeah, and it's it's
just like everything once a thing, like once an old
(08:03):
show or like a concept hits Netflix, that's when it
actually becomes real. It feels like and like we kind
of noticed this back when during the pandemic we were
paying more attention to streaming numbers, Like the top ten
is by default whatever is trending on Netflix, and then occasionally,
like a blockbuster like Big, a big show from another
(08:24):
streamer would go up the charts, but it would always
just like kind of fall back out of the top
ten pretty quick and Meanwhile, like Suits is like Charlie
after he drinks the fizzy lifting drink, it just like
cannot come down. It's just stuck at the top of
the charts. Like yeah, so I don't know. And then
(08:45):
like other networks are now admitting defeat and like licensing
their content to Netflix again.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Back to them. They're like, hey, we're not going to
renew that Netflix deal because we're starting our own streamer.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
And then like, yeah, please please take ballers, sir, please
take dollars from us.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
They've got yeah HBO. So like I'm just predicting now
that you're going to start seeing shows like uh, Insecure,
I feel like it is going to be a big one.
But like because that one's they're licensing that to Netflix
the Pacific, I don't know, like they've got Band of
Brothers in the Pacific.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
They really are licensing by really licensing dollars back to Netflix,
that's going to be everywhere the article.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
And also Six Feet Under they're licensing to Netflix, which
I feel I feel like Six Feet Under is going
to have a real second life up that's gonna blow
you up.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
The move with Band of Brothers and the Pacific because
that that old Spielberg, Hanks World War two Humper team
is coming back with their new one about like the
pilots of World War two. Right, so I see what
they're like. It's all about ubiquity, man, get them talking
about it, because Netflix really is like it's like it's
like it's like the streaming equivalent of like having rabbit
(10:10):
ears antenna on your TV. Like, yeah, most people have
that shit or have access to seeing it. It's when
you start adding all this other shit like Apple Plus.
Like if if you're not in the Apple ecosystem, I
can hardly believe that you have a reason to pay
for Apple Plus. Yeah you know what I mean. Like
if you don't have Apple TV, or if you if
(10:31):
you rock Android or whatever, you might not be as
moved by the offerings. But the shows look like like
huge things, and I feel the same way. I'm like, oh, okay,
this probably looks like a ton of money, but in
my mind, I'm like, it's Apple Plus. Therefore is it good?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I don't know, right, Yeah, Like that Nathan Fielder show
that came out a couple of weeks ago, Okay, the Curse.
The Curse, Like I feel like, you know, people I
know are talking about it and seeing it. But I
don't have showtime, right, I don't have showtime, Like when
when it hits Netflix, I feel like, or if it
hits Netflix, I guess we'll have like a second round
where the rest of the population like, yeah, it is like,
(11:09):
you guys seen this Nathan Fielder guy. This guy is
so weird.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
It's like he's awkward, but it's like but he knows
what he's doing when he's right. It's really I don't understand.
It's really interesting.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Yeah, but for now, I guess we'll have to put
up with a ballers.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
Yeah. But I mean, I think to your point, it
shows you how like you have reached true ubiquity and
domination when someone is putting out an Attenborough narrated nature
documentary and people are like, huh, yeah exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
It is like even the like the New York doesn't
even like mention it. I don't think in the whole
article they're just like.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Oh, they don't mentioned prehistoric planet.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
No, they don't mention prehistoric planet. It's all about the
making of the Netflix documentary and this guy who like
studied who like used to work for David Attenborough. But
like they don't even mention that this is like a
year after a critically acclaimed one from Attenborough and the BBC. Yeah,
it's pretty wild. So uh yeahpple, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Hey, work on your marketing, Apple, I guess that's all
we can say, Tim Apple, Come on, man.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, I feel like we've got we're There's just a
new rhythm to how media works, where movies to a
lesser degree, but definitely like streaming, stuff like comes out,
but then it really comes out when it hits Netflix.
And that might be seven years or like twenty years
after it first came out in the first place. But
(12:41):
that's when people are like, oh my god.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
If those like royalties are good, that that must feels
so good. Though, if you're like, dude, this thing I
absolutely took a shit on years ago. I didn't think
it was going anywhere. It's like, it's now I can
now do things with my life from all the revenues
I've generated from being show exactly.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
What's what's something you think is overrated?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Overrated? Look, I was talking about how I was at
Disneyland briefly touched on it on the What was that
today's episode? What episode? I don't know whenever we recorded.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
That Wednesday, I think, oh.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
No, yeah with crafted yeah yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You talked about it on tomorrow's episode.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Talked about on tomorrow's episode. So just a bit of
time travel that does occur there. But as I was
just kind of thinking back there, like everything when you
go there and I know you were, I think you
were yeah World or did you go to land You
went to land World?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Okay, we went everything on the app there toot time
like spent looking at yo.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
I'm sorry that ship is terrible. The app itself works
fine for the most part, like it's stable, like whatever
the UI great, blah blah blah. It's more that like
the app being a huge central part of the experience
is what I think is really deeply overrated. Like even
down to ordering your food at what used to be
(14:03):
like some places you can get in line, other places
like do your mobile order, say you want to pick up.
I get that it makes things easier, but there are
times when I was so confused, like I would I
would try to like walk up to like a seated restaurant,
like you gotta check the app, right, I'm like, but
you're right here, motherfucker. At the fucking mitro d stand
with all of the information right there? What if I
(14:25):
what if? What if your fucking app has drained my
battery so fucking bad, I'm having to plug that shit
in in a bathroom right now to try and get
my shit going again. Like dude, it's such a fucking
and anyway, So as I was there, like I felt
like Tommy Lee Jones in No Country for Old Men,
Like everything was at based like they laughed at you
(14:46):
if you're like, is there another way to ask for this?
And I get again definite advantages like like there's it'll
cut down on certain time if you plan it well,
but if you're not that sad the like it kind
of makes things a little bit like it gives the
advantage to people who know how to use the app,
whether that's like knowing like what line to be in
(15:08):
or what place to get your reservations to or whatever.
It just feels like a very uh, I don't know,
it was just a lot, And it was a lot, yeah,
like take so much of my attention and to be
on my phone like that. I was truly just like
missing the feeling of having a crumpled up map in
my pocket, like.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Just being in the moment and being in the like
physical place you are, and so like being having to
like keep bringing up your phone. Yeah exactly. Yeah, just
churn through your battery life.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
It's it really does. And I just felt like, like,
you know, I was navigating like the New York streets
like as a as a like a tourist for the
first time on Google Match, like turn here, where's the
thing is it? On that app? So yeah, shout out
to that. And also another sort of Disneyland adjacent overrated
(15:56):
people wearing their fucking political phrase t shirts. Y'all, the
effect of your shirt is not quite what you think
it is. And because I saw so mans, like I
get it, man, Disneyland is the fucking like nexus central
like focal point of America. And I went in probably
the busiest time of year, and it was just so wild.
(16:18):
Like it's like I you know, like when you're this
happens with like liberals too, but with people who watch Fox,
especially like you probably aren't near anybody who thinks differently
than them. Is like they watch Fox and they spent
their whole time like fighting an invisible, made up liberal
person in their head. That's like when I meet up man. Yeah,
like I'm gonna be wearing my let's Go Brandon shirt
(16:42):
with my gun hat or whatever, and like people were
just there like walking around just like really like huh huh,
look at this shirt that's your handgun on. It says
you can't you can't reason with evil, but you can
prepare for it. And I'm like, sir, you got Mickey
Mouse years on and you are Okay, that's fine, that's
(17:03):
just yeah, I get it. This is where we go
to to let people know.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
How Jesus yeah, from my overrated I think I'm overrated.
I had overrated how long we've known about dinosaurs because
like so I did read the article. You know, there's
this new Netflix documentary you got to see that has
this amazing advance where it brings dinosaurs into a nature documentary.
(17:30):
It's crazy. But I don't know. They were just like
going in one section of the article. They're going through
like the history of palaeontology and how like I assumed
kids were always just obsessed with dinosaurs, and I guess
it really started in the eighties like that that was
(17:50):
the first generation to be obsessed with dinosaurs. And like
so they talk about how as recently as the seventeen hundreds,
they were like finding dinosaur bo and thought they were
scrotums of giant humans. Like they named one of the
animals Scrotum humanum, the scrotum of a giant human like creature.
(18:12):
And then like decades after that, this guy found it
was like, I think it's a big I think it's
a big lizard. Actually is it?
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Because like they're looking at like the ball joint or something, yeah,
like a fever, and like they're like, I kind of
see it actually, like when you look at a giant bone,
like if you just picture it with a bone one
round part yeah, yeah, yeah, like the ball joint on
the femur. You're like, dude, that's a big old scrotum.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
But like got must be a guy with a big,
big balls.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Right, But like and then is there some other person
who knows basic anat me, like what's connected to like
a long bone?
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Yeah, that one goes up inside you. I think that
part goes No, that's the dick. Whoa Okay, well wait,
how weird is your dick?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Man?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
So strange? You think the balls and the dick are
on a straight line?
Speaker 4 (19:09):
I wonder William, Wait, who was the guy who I
wonder who the guy was who was insisting it was
a scrotum, Like very interesting just world view or like
you're you're so patriarchy brained that everything is a dick
or balls to you.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Right, yeah that's and nobody like you're so patriarchy brained.
And also like everybody else's so everyone's just like, yeah,
that's it was Richard Brooks, an English physician. Brooks, Yeah, yeah,
he Dick Brooks, an English physician, reconsidered a detailed drawing
(19:45):
of the fossil and gave it a specific name that
matched what he believed it was, scrotum humanum, the scrotum
of a giant human like creature. But then like, I
don't know, so then the eighteen hundred's was the first
time they I really got the idea that there are
a lot of extinct creatures, like they didn't because there's
(20:06):
like something kind of difficult existentially to be like, oh,
we're just like the latest, you know, like that whole
thing of like humans time on the planet is like
a brief blink compared to true history of the planet.
But I didn't like they mentioned this Netflix documentary that
ninety nine percent of all species that have ever lived
(20:27):
are now extinct ninety nine percent.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Oh my god, Well, I guess when you considered like this,
just like a ton of bugs and stuff I never
even heard of.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
So it's all good, yeah, but it's And they also
mentioned that the dominant species rarely survives the major extinctions,
which bad news for makes bad news for these guys.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Yeah, because with our thick skin that can withstand temperatures
above barely one hundred degrees.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, but yeah, I don't know, the
world didn't really get excited about dinosaurs until the nineteen eighties,
Like the paleontologists started getting excited about it and like
putting things in museums in like the sixties, and like
for a long time that t rex that famous like
t rex skeleton was the only dinosaur skeleton that like
(21:20):
was on display. But yeah, like they didn't come up
with the asteroid extinction like theory until the nineteen eighties.
And I don't know, it's just like it's this huge
idea that changes completely how you see the world, right,
And you know, very recently, relatively recently, people were finding
(21:44):
big bones and being like, man that looks like giant
balls and it's just a dick. Yeah, that's a dick.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I don't know, I don't know, doctor.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, but exactly an English physician imagine being that guy's patient.
But like just these big pieces of existential perspectives that
we digest and like immediately it changes how we view
the world, and we kind of take it for granted
(22:17):
that there's always been this like fascinating idea out there
that like these massive giant creatures like ruled the planet
and then got marked and the same thing it happened
to us. I'm just like, if we're around, it'll just
be interesting, you know, to think about how like what
(22:39):
the next giant pieces of like perspective will be that
we don't have yet. I'm assuming they'll be coming from like,
you know, looking up instead of digging down.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
But keep your eyes to this, guys, that's right, see
what happens. And then people will be like, nah, dude,
this is a dick. What more like clearly a UFO. No, no, no,
that's dude, that's like military sperms or something. Dude. Okay, sure, sure.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Sure, yeah, all right, let's uh, let's take a quick
break and we'll be right back. And we're back and uh,
Fox News. Yeah, it's always good to check in with
(23:37):
what they've been up to. You want to find out
how your friends were, how their holiday was.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Who was your holiday holiday?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Fox News?
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Yeah. I just a quick one because I'm still kind
of my mind is blown. I think like, look, it
was probably a long weekend at Fox and they didn't
know what to get angry about on Sunday or today.
And here we go. We have a guy called Charlie
Hurt and he's big hurt over the fact that VP
(24:06):
Kamala Harris and her tweet to celebrate the holiday had
a gas stove in the background when they're trying to
take them from us, and here we go.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
It's so funny that people they saw that, you know,
her tweet, they saw her stove, they rightly heckled and
mocked her and made fun of her and ridiculed her.
And then all of the Democrats freaked out and went
on and jumped online and said, oh no, wait a minute,
they don't want to take away the gas stoves.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
That's misinformation.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
No, they do want to take away the gas stoves,
and in fact, they are taking away the gas stories.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
This is where they control things.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
I just want to say they are in fact not
taking the gas stove, and they in fact don't want
to take away your fucking guest stoves. But again, and
I like a little bit of jo, but tell us
why this is the sick ass setup from the anchor
at the desk, Wye is that is that? Why?
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Why do you why do they want to ban Gusto?
Speaker 5 (25:10):
I think because they hate us, They hate humans, they
hate joyfulness.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
They pies anyway, So that's how they started their week off.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
They hate joy He even took the second He was
because this ship that conspiracy theory. I don't even know
what the fuck you want to call this. At this point,
this talking point is so fucking tired that even he
was like, why uh what we used to say? They
hate humans and pie weird dealing with an intergalactic droid
race that hates fucking joy That's true?
Speaker 1 (25:42):
I mean, yeah, they nailed us.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
They hate your freedoms.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Well over here on my preferred news outlet where I
get most of my information.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
To a little little share. Okay, I was on Fox.
You were looking at Goop.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
I was looking at Goop and they just dropped their
gift guide and Miles, there are some pretty pretty interesting ideas.
In here we got a twenty four carrot gold vibrator
low price of fifteen thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Okay, what the fuck is it made of? Out is
just the whole thing is like a gold bar that
you get.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
It actually like in your hands because it's so just
pure soft gold. It's actually a huge health hazard.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Yeah, you don't, don't, don't don't get that in you.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Know, comes in a case like a fancy pen and yeah,
they dude.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
There's so many weird things on here, like uh, the
like one is just like a fucking platter for for
fruit that's like four hundred dollars to be like put
your per simmons on a pedestal or a perch for
your peaches.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Oh, they use the literation. That's just because they're good
at their job. Another one, Uh, there's an antique s
cargo pic holder and it's basically it's shaped like a
tiny erect penis with a giant scrotum. Speaking of giant scrotum, yeah,
that seems to be the theme of the day. I
(27:18):
think you may be right if you said no, that's
a scrotum. This one. I think we're right because I
like the it's supposed to be a snail shell, but
the head of the snail is definitely a little Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
The head of the snale snail looks like the head
of a penis, Yes, for sure. I don't know the
scientific term for that part down there, but it was that.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yes. Also I don't know is that you eat s
cargo with picks. I thought you needed to like.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Scoop a little fork. I mean, okay, I think or
maybe yeah, like I mean to get it out of
the shell. I mean, jack, I haven't been I haven't
been to Paris in so long. Forgive me for for misremembering.
We definitely need the little shell holder like thing that
holds a shell and then use like a tiny fork
to pull out the little snail. Could be for you martinis.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, yeah, there's also the foreholder that's a little dick.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
The other thing that's like wow, is like a two
hundred dollars fucking sword that's just made for sabering a
champagne bottle. Like this is truly, these are simple.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Must treat yourself, treat the ones you love.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Do you know someone who's so haunted by their own
wealth that they know not how to enjoy anything except
to just lavish themselves with the most overpriced these society
you're as a gift guide.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Yeah, I keep running into these. Like we we mentioned
it back when we were talking about Harlan Crowe and
there was that profile from the guy who, like Graham Wood, Yeah,
lived in Harlan Crowe's town and like used to run
by his house and he talked about how Harlan crow
is just unburdening him himself of his wealth. And like
(29:02):
there is another article that we're researching about, you know,
just real estate and like what private equity is doing
to like people's ability to own homes or even like
live without roommates, right, you know people are living with
roommates later and later on because yeah, and like when
(29:22):
you look into real estate articles about how people are investing,
like what why this is happening? And it's like, you know,
companies and like private investors are buying up houses that
they don't live in and just you know using them
as investment properties. Like the description of that is like
(29:43):
there's all this money slashing around after the recession and
COVID and it's like yeah, because they like they just
covered up all the money at the top it's.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Just like slashing around like people. I mean, they might
be able to like use some of that to like
help people, but nah, nah by this fifteen thousand dollars
whole vibrator.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Yeah. There's also an article in the New York Times
opinion last week that was about how the wealthy are
historically an exceptionally like greedy and not giving back to
society in any way like at this time, which right,
on the one hand, it's like, yeah, we kind of
(30:27):
knew that, but I don't know.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
But that used to kind of be like how a
lot of shit got built in the US too. They'd
be like yeah, aha, yes, oh, an entire hospital for
you to because I feel bad that I shot all
those laborers who asked for for who asked for a
living wage. Well you know, the pinkertons, they know how
to hold it down for you. But yeah, I get yeah.
(30:51):
Now that's all we see like reflected back to us.
At every level. It was like nobody wants to or
they do this thing where it's like I give back,
I pay my taxes. No you don't, Yes, they don't.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
They and they've been investing in lawyers who make sure
that they don't have to pay taxes like that. That's
been lawyers and politicians like, oh yeah, in a multi decade,
like as long as I've been alive, they have been
moving the goal line so that they don't have to
pay taxes like they used to. And that's where this
(31:24):
historic inequality is coming from. And that's why we we
get products like from the Goop Gift Guide stay at
Turtle Island in Fiji for the price of thirty nine
five hundred dollars. Now, I know what you're thinking. That
does sound reasonable until until you realize that it's a
(31:46):
minimum three nights day and that's thirty nine five hundred
per night.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Kid, Absolutely fucked? Is it? Is it just like an
Are you just going to an entire island or something?
Is that? Is that what this saying?
Speaker 1 (31:58):
So you get three nites stay Turtle Eye Island in
Fiji and it's just you, I guess. So, I mean,
I don't know, like I don't know what what is
required if it's just you, or if it's all like
human furniture, like the whole place, all of your furnishing,
you're like sleeping on servants. Yeah, and like servants, you.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Rush your teeth with someone else's teeth. That's what's cool
about Turtle Island. For forty grand a night, that's like,
and given the way shit costs, that's a fucking I mean,
I feel like a Toyota Corolla now costs forty thousand
dollars because the price night fucked up.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
That's the minimum, like one hundred and twenty thousand dollars
of uh for for a stay at a hotel. I'm
kind of makes it just it makes sense when you
realize that they their biggest problem is like they have
too much money slashing around. Yeah, you know, god, what
(32:56):
am I What else am I going to spend it on?
They won't let me collect Nazi memorabilia and yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
What can I help? How much does this It's forty
grand a night? Okay, great, I'll stay here for like
fucking six months.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Yeah wow, wow, get rid of some of this.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
I mean, yeah, it is like the list is always
I mean, like I do like the list merely for
the fact that it gives such an interesting insight into
like what you do when you have such obscene disposable income. Yeah,
like I don't you know what I mean? Like, I'm like, oh, yeah,
I know what a I know what a good blanket costs,
(33:31):
like one hundred bucks or something like if you like
want like a fucking lit ass blanket, And then they're like, now,
this one's three thousand fucking dollars.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah, and you're like, what, I feel like we perfected
the couch cushion do we need? Like, hey, man, you
got it. You can always go meta with like some
hyper priced item, but yeah, there's a four hundred and
twenty five dollars blanket.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
There's one, and this is on a gift guide. A
residence for at the well Bay Harbor Islands for four million,
four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. So you buy someone
a home for the holidays.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Yeah, okay, well I get it. It's you've you've you've
successfully outraged me goop again. You've done it, You've done it.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
You can also buy two thousand dollars gong.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Ooh an eight hundred and twenty dollars copper fun dupot.
Now I'm back now.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
But yeah, it's the sort of thing that we need
to like rewake up to, like and see again with
fresh eyes as often as possible, and like, yeah, thank
you to the Goop Guide for helping us do that.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Yeah, thank you, thank you. Keep an eye on the prize.
My two hundred dollars Champagne saber so you can quote
party like it's seventeen ninety nine. Yeah, things are great
for me back then, right when we were just screaming
about biracial monstrosity children and the fact that dinosaur bones
were Yeah, seventeen ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Back we go.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
All right, let's take a quick break and we'll come back.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
And we're back. We're back.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
I don't like this next story, Miles, but you don't
like I don't like being reminded.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
Well, okay, so the route put out there like just
a reminder you're like some of the top fucking albums
that are turning twenty five years old this year.
Speaker 6 (35:33):
And nineteen ninety eight was apparently twenty eight, twenty five
years ago, I'm pretty sure to me, feels like five
years ago.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
I'm just gonna I'm just this is a trickling, just
a light sampling of the albums that are turning twenty,
that are turning twenty five this year or have already.
The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill a quemin nine, It's dark
in Hell's Hot, So My Flesh, Blood of My Blood.
Both DMX put out two albums in nineteen Classics Juveniles
(36:06):
four hundred Degrees, the first Black Star album, Hard Knock
Life Volume two, jay Z a Tribe Call.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
For some reason, that's the only one that actually feels
that old to me. Hard Knock Life Volume two.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Love Movement by a Trip clock Quest feel what older?
Younger to you know?
Speaker 1 (36:24):
That feels younger to me? Okay, dude, Hard to Take
Life Volume two is it's like very specifically placed in
a place in time for me in high school. And
also it just feels like it stays kind of in
rotation in a way that like always reminds me of
the fact that it's old.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
You know, right right right Love Movement by a Tribe
clock Quest that he got game original soundtrack, Come On Now,
Capital Punishment, Big pun for Theriz Bobby Digital. I'm like,
when I look at just the list and that's not
even like, you know, there was like Mop came, like,
there's an Mop album that year, Gangstar, There's a ton
(37:03):
of fantastic albums. But when I look at this list,
I just feel like I'm looking at my case logic
CD Binder thing. I'm like, Yep, there's there's my Miseducation,
there's my DMX album, there's my Qumini that's next to
at Aliens, and there's my I got that new Juvie
the four hundred Degrees. I also got JT Money back then.
It's like all these albums, but I don't know. I honestly,
(37:24):
for whatever reason for me, it does not feel that
long ago. I wonder if because I am still a
mental juvenile and my fashion tastes have also not evolved
past nineteen ninety eight. So in that says, Mike, what
are you talking about? Baby? Nineteen ninety eight was yesteryear,
that was just two days ago.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
That was very recent. Yeah, yeah, mis educational Lauren Hilen
a Clemini that fucks me up.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Miseducation Is it good? I've been playing that for the
guy's child, Yeah, because like babies like to be sung to,
like I don't know, like I mean, like a mystery.
They like being sung to, even if you're at it.
But that's like one of the albums where, like I
will Mourn Hill songs, I can really get all emote
and really give the baby the performance that he deserves.
(38:10):
So yeah, I've been playing that pretty regularly.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Nice, all right, just checking around for some things that
happened over the weekend. We got the Macy's parade being
interrupted by pro peace protesters, and there is some wild
imagery of like protesters, you know, blocking the parade route
and then like getting forced out of the way so
(38:32):
they could let a giant Ronald McDonald through, like while
while like children are on the sideline, be like, boo, what.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Do you mean, what do you mean? No more death,
no more needless child death, boom, make way for Ronnie.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Right. To be fair, the people protesting the current genocide
were getting in the way of the balloons used to
celebrate a holiday predicated on an entirely different genocide. So
we're trying to focus on this other one.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Please, we're trying to erase the memory of this other thing. Now, now,
bring on SpongeBob.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Thirty four people were arrested by the NYPD as a
result of the protest. But yeah, it's gave us some
really good visual metaphors of like, you know, peaceful protesters
being arrested for speaking out against a humanitarian catastrophe to
make way for the Sinclair Oil dinosaur.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah, speaking of dinosaurs. Yeah, back in a big way,
but like this is all I mean, like between that,
then there was the three Palestinian students were shot in Vermont.
Some guy like just shot these three students. No one
passed away like luckily, and you know, they're like they're
(39:56):
they're trying to figure out if it was a hate
crime or whatever. There's there's a ton of stuff. And
then we had the hostage swaps happen. Yeah, and we're
still like it sounds like right now that you know,
people are like wondering, can the the White House put
enough pressure to maybe prolong this to make just just
to get a little bit more something lasting rather than
(40:18):
just like this couple day pause. So yeah, there's there's
just a lot a lot was happening. Yeah, in the
realm of of you know, Palestine Israel talks and yeah,
and just even how like it's it's manifesting now, like
you know, like in our own country now we're seeing
all kinds of hate crimes go up. And yeah, yeah
(40:43):
not great.
Speaker 1 (40:44):
Over on over on Fox, the hosts criticized the nasty
protesters because this event was supposed to be about people
giving thanks, and another guy questioned what do they want even,
which is very frustrating as they're wearing free palace venture
it's chanting, we need to cease fire and not another nickel,
(41:05):
not another dime, no more money for Israel's crimes. Like
what what could they what? But what are they say?
Speaker 2 (41:13):
What?
Speaker 1 (41:13):
I don't understand the words coming out of your mouth,
Like what are you even trying to say right now?
Speaker 2 (41:18):
I mean that's yeah, I would do that too if
I didn't want my viewers to know what they were
there for.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
Like I can't even know what they're saying shrieking. If
you're shrieking right now, I can't understand you.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
What do you keep I think they're podcasters. They may
have shouted out some kind of offer code for twenty
percent off your first meal. I don't know what they want.
It's very confusing. Please bring in SpongeBob.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Yes, thank you.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Did you watch the Braid?
Speaker 5 (41:44):
No?
Speaker 1 (41:45):
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
I watched a replay of it or like, I don't know.
I think I was able to, like on demand something
just to have on the background. And it's just like
I felt so bad for the musical performers because it's
fully lip synced, like there's no room for sucking any
real human performance. Yeah, and they had like the Roots
band and like Jimmy Fallon do a thing and like
(42:07):
poor quest Love. Do you remember like in Airheads the
movie Airheads were like they're like like they wanted to
perform live before like they went to prison or whatever.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
No, I didn't. I never saw Airheads with.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Brendan Fraser and Steve Buscemi and Adam Sandler.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
They're like sand Man. I know, it was like Adam
Sandler movie when I was like craving Adam Sandler movies,
and I for whatever reason was just like, nah, that
one doesn't look right to make it looks like a
real Sandler.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
It's so funny. I don't know. I don't know how
well it ages. But there's like a part where like
they're like like you know, they take over this radio
station to get their like band poping or whatever, and
they demand doing a live show. And when they actually
set up the live show so they release the hostages
or whatever, they like realized the whole set has to
be like dubbed, and they're like, what we're not doing
no lip syncing and like they like throw their arms
(42:55):
up while like the song is happening to like protest
the fact that it was a lip synced like they
were playing with a track, and anyway, the way like
Questlove was on drums reminded me of him slowly being like, man,
I ain't even fucking playing. What if I just fake
played to be a dickhead because we can't do anything?
But yeah, it's it's it's hard when you watch like
(43:15):
real musicians up there being like here this is I'm
playing an instrument that isn't even present in the audio
you're hearing right now.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
Yeah. By the way, Sinclair oil dinosaur balloon not historically accurate.
We discovered uh from from a listener who I think
when we had doctor Grant on. She was speculating that
she thought, like a lot of the fossil fuels came
from dinosaurs, but the fossil fuels are mostly plankton.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Yeah, not as exciting a logo.
Speaker 1 (43:45):
Yeah, so not not as exciting a logo.
Speaker 2 (43:48):
And here comes the Sinclair plankton float.
Speaker 1 (43:50):
Yeah, although those things are gnarly up close. Plankton up close.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
Yeah, it was like fucking gross pieces as ship fuck
with no plankton. Dude looked like a bagan in my
mouth bro Yeah, I have fucking comb in the sea
to eat that crap.
Speaker 1 (44:08):
And finally, uh, we did you catch any of uh?
Anna Indiana? No, this is a AI singer songwriter who
dropped a track on the world Betrayed by this Town.
That is yet another example of like whenever, like we
should just look at this when everyone's like AI is
(44:30):
already here and going to take our jobs. Maybe maybe
that's true, but this looks like shit and sounds like
shit and completely lax any modicum of humanity, Like the
thing that art is supposed to have.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
My favorite cafe ping my teast.
Speaker 2 (44:58):
Indiana. Yeah, sitting at my favorite cafe drinking tea. Oh
my god. What.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
Then there's like some faux like edgic prop in there
where she's like talks about feeling betrayed by this town
and wanting to tear it all down. Oh, which I
don't know. Yeah, sorry, could be like the Terminator future
coming through a little bit. But some people were like, oh,
(45:28):
of course the AI is woke, woke mob.
Speaker 2 (45:32):
Yeah, I'm sorry, Anna, Indiana, but it's definitely a no
for me. Dog you know, just you tried. It's so
like even the animation is really animation.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
Is so wild because she just like makes unblinking eye
contact with the camera the whole time with this like
weird half smile on her face.
Speaker 2 (45:50):
Yeah, and the body shape too, is like it's sort
of like it's clearly doing the thing where they had
like a still image, but like just animate the head.
Don't even make the shoulders or torso move like a
human would. It's like fix in the head is just like, Hi,
I am anna Indiana and I hate this town. Here's
how you make napalm with a little bit of styrofoam.
(46:12):
Follow me kids, like y'all the I think to andrew T,
I remember like when we first started talking about this,
and andrew T was on the thing that I was
stuck with me about him like just being like, man,
fuck these Ais and like their ability to create stuff
is like they have no fucking taste, Like there's no
like there's it's not drawing from anything that would give
(46:32):
you something that like resonates. I get when like they
can make another artist say some shit like that evokes
a ton of stuff for you just listening to it,
where it's like I don't know who in Indiana is
And this sounds like a Teddy Ruckspin that got damaged
in a storm or something.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, like having having one artist voice covering
another artist's song is like enough that there's like something
kind of at least temporarily fascinating to listen to there,
but this one is. Yeah, well, when you try and
go fully original, it's not.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
To hear it again, dude.
Speaker 1 (47:13):
Thinking about all he's done, everyone who everyone.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
Broken dreams, shattered hopes and silent screams. Wow, you know
this is those lyrics are of somebody who tried to
have a career and didn't make it, and they're like,
fuck it if I can't have this track that maybe
Anna Indianda has.
Speaker 1 (47:40):
Yeah, yeah, I feel I feel like that's this is
being puppeted like some you know middle There's something so.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Dark behind this, you know, like there is the lyrics
have this like you know Steve Bannon when he couldn't
be funny or actually an entertainment industry kind of anger
behind it. Yes, yeah, yeah, it's just my La Riots
musical didn't take off because this town's full of fucking
(48:07):
broken dreams. Oh man.
Speaker 1 (48:12):
Yeah, well, anyways, we can't wait to see what she
does with the rest of her career nearly an artistic revelation.
Speaker 2 (48:19):
Hopefully the artist can render the other half of her
face too, so when she turns, it's not just becomes
like a weird shadow. But hey, yeah, uh well, we're
rooting for you Anna too, for your motherboard to melt
down or whatever we do to wish a is is
a demise.
Speaker 1 (48:38):
Jam was pointing out that her name sounds like a
Mad magazine parody of Hannah Montana.
Speaker 2 (48:43):
Oh my god, yeah, the work, Yeah, it's truly. We've
got Hannah Montana at home, honey.
Speaker 1 (48:49):
Yeah, but like Anna Indiana is like it. That's because
like it already, the last name has the word Anna
in it.
Speaker 2 (48:57):
Yeah. I guess what could they are? Are there are
other names like that if they're trying to do that
same kind of naming convention, like state last name with
a fun.
Speaker 1 (49:09):
H Becky New York, you know, I mean, something classy
like Becky, New Jersey.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
Like Tia, California. I don't know, look y'all, it's it's
that's why Hannah Montana works, y'all. Yeah, you know what
I mean. Just leave it alone. Something you don't have
to perfect.
Speaker 1 (49:31):
Yeah, Disney have that Disney Channel basically AI. That ship
has felt like it was written by AI, like all
along a little bit so which one the Disney Channel,
just like when I like hear about what it because
I never like really watched it growing up, but then
like what I would hear about it from a distance
(49:51):
and be like, what is this feels so strange? Is
maybe it was like an adult looking at children culture
and bea like stupid, Oh that's okay, smart, okay than
that five year old you put.
Speaker 2 (50:09):
On a magic jersey and now you're marshall fulk.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
Okay, okay, all right. Those are some of the things
that are trending on this Monday morning. We are back
tomorrow with a whole last episode of the show, which
hold onto your butts. You already heard that, you're already
already know it's a crofting joint, y'all.
Speaker 2 (50:32):
And he's got youtubess to recommend.
Speaker 1 (50:37):
Until then, be kind to each other, kind to yourself,
get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and
we will talk to you tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (50:44):
Fight bye.
