Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Bones Trend Poll. Oh that one courtesy of David Lesser,
the Bone Trend Poll. Heh yeah, a lot of people talking.
That is an iconic title. People are the Bone Temple,
that is, that's.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
What they I'm sure there was like a frat house
that nicknamed themselves like the Bones Temple or some ship.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I doubt this is.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You know, there's been some terrible uses of the phrase
Bone temp Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
And this is instead of saying this is my bedroom
where the magic happens, they're now saying this is the
Bone Temple where the magic happens.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
This is the Bone.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Temple, and I am its most dedicated monk.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
My name is Jack O'Brien.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co host,
mister Miles.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
And we're early today, man, we're early.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Don't worry about it morning.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
So many things thinking about speaking of Bone, she sounds
like she could be in Bone Thugs and Harmony.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
The way she's cramming those syllables.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
In packing those syllables in.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I wish they were a yeah, Jim act, I wish
there was another like a bar to say you're packing
those syllables in, but it's really only a rapper. Yeah,
who would be packing syllables in?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
But I open it up to that gang. You're witty too.
Who else would be packing syllables in that? I can say? Anyway,
where are we at?
Speaker 4 (01:23):
What day is it?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
January twenty eighth? She probably did it herself her south. Also,
just speaking of a wrap wrap flows that we are
going to be talking about the Chuck E Cheese lin
Manuel Miranda thing on tomorrow's episode. Justa I know, I
know everybody's here for that. They're like the number one story. No,
(01:52):
if you have time before tomorrow's episode, uh, check that
video out because we're not gonna It's really one that
you have to like kind of watch the whole thing
to get the full But it's basically they fed the
entirety of the Hamilton soundtrack into an AI and then
had it created a Chuck E Cheese wrap about having
a good day, and it's just it is. Yeah, it's
wild anyway. Brain injury, brain injury. It does feel like,
(02:16):
uh oh the coma that I'm in something something's happening
to my brain.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
It is melting. I may be headed toward the Late Soon.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Hell yeah, fall off the skull Tender.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
You got some good lines this week. I gotta say
I'm a big fan, big fan Miles Gray presid demential.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
That's not the Actually I looked.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I'm not the first person to do that, which seems
right because it's right there.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
But like I said, I don't that's.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
All artists, cir curators, you know exactly.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Look, everything is a remix of a remix.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
That's right, including this new Chucky Cheese video that everybody
should go check out. But and by the way, the
thing waking Up in the Morning, because I didn't know
that before yesterday is a child On Real Housewives of
New Jersey, bag is being like arraigned and she's just
singing her heart about about like how how things are difficult.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
But it's like clearly written by a nine year.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, yeah, it's going through going through some things.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
We'll throw that in the footnotes today's episode.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
She's done it many times. Oh yeah, she's it's like
saying it multimately.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
She even party is doing that.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Even there was like a clothing line that she started
called waking Up in the Morning.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
It's just like when something that good, like you might
as well, Casha, when.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You just hit me with the waking up, that's got the.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Thinking abod.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I do wonder if she if she was a fan
of Crossroads. I feel like it's the influences are Crossroads.
There's a little trapped in the closet. If that had
come out at that time, yeah, yeah, because it's just
like sort of that blank verse.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, I don't want to say this is another example
of white people stealing black culture, but look, I'll I
will say my judgment. I want to know the full
story for us, but it does feel derivative, derivative.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
All right, we have some news to get to. Ilhan
Omar was attacked by what appeared to be like a
drunk mega guy who had slept in his clothes for
the past three days.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
You you might be right, you might be right.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
And yeah, she's giving a speech about how the fucking
ice evildoers must be brought to justice and teached at
a minimum. Then some fucking maga scrote just pulls up
as a syringe full of some yellow liquid that he's
sprayed all over her. I think, as of now, we
(04:58):
still don't know what it was. Everyone's one thing that
people did say was it stunk like shit. And yeah,
he was quickly tackled, and you know, I looked like
she cocked her fist.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
She before she's tackled by her security, she walks towards
him with her fistback like she's about to whoop this
dude's ass, right, Which I just want to contrast that
with how like remember when that guy fanted in front
of Trump and RFK and Trump like just kind of
went into a fugue state and started like looking at
(05:32):
the cameras and RK ran out of the room.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, like it was an one mixtape or some shit.
You just saw a terrible crossover. Yeah, it was bad.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
But this is the thing that they can't handle on
the right is like courage and people you know like that.
I there's been a lot of takes that really resonated
with me about how the thing that they couldn't take
about Alex pretty was that he was a courageous person
looking out for someone else, right.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I mean it's yeah, in the of those examples you gave,
like the guy the pharmaceutical dude passing out in the oval,
and then ilhan Omar, we just saw literally the three
response with the three responses that we have fight, flight
or freeze.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah, so you have to.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Fight from Omar, fight from RFK, and freeze from Donald Trump.
Yeah yeah, yeah, it's a I mean, I think yeah,
her courage is obviously, you know, being the center, being
a Somalian, being a Somalian in Minnesota with all this
bullshit happening right now and the president constantly, constantly attacking
(06:36):
and your community was always going to lead to some
shit like this. But again, this guy's like, she probably
sprayed herself. Have you read your own fucking will know?
But why I'm not talking to him? One thing we
should talk about is this guy Andy Kasmerck, who is
the person who attacked her. Apparently he was like yapping
to his friends and neighbors for days about how he's
going to do something dumb at this event. This from
(06:57):
the Day to Beat quote Kelly recounted Kasmerksavi in the
days leading up to the confrontation in Minneapolis. He said
that kas America had asked Kelly to mind his dog
and suggested he might get in trouble. But he said,
I'm gonna I'm going to this Omar thing. I'm like
Omar what he said, this town hall thing, and he
said I might get arrested. The neighbor says, I figured
it was nonsense. He wasn't gonna do anything stupid. I said, sure,
(07:20):
I'll walk her talking about the dog. But then the
next day he said, don't worry about it. I've got
it covered. I figured he blew it off. They also
said that he's been like on opioids because he had
a back injury and was diagnosed with Parkinson's recently. This
guy got like, it's like one of these things where
you have somebody who, like i'd imagine, could use a
(07:41):
bit of empathy.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Oh yeah, and they're like people are in hell.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
That shit turns into this other thing because the like
the conservative ethos right now, the right wing ethos is
to dead your sense of empathy completely and to never
ever admit that you are vulnerable.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Is the other huge thing that doesn't get talked about enough.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
These people never ever talk about a vulnerability because they
show it as weakness rather than a sign of um
like humanity. That may, yeah, exactly, I need to help, but.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I'm not gonna say anything. I'm gonna go darker into
the fucking abyss and then get arrested at a town
Hall event.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Yeah there was that.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Did you see the footage from the mar Lago party
the night Alex Pretty was murdered with like all their
like show girls in balls, floating on pools, Like, I mean,
this is every every night basically, but like it's just yeah, yes,
they can't they can't help but reveal who they are.
(08:38):
They keep doing it, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, well, I mean I think that's the one thing
about what, especially with Minnesota and seeing how they were
ribuffed by the people's sense of solidarity, is that it
just laid waste to the idea that for all these
maga freaks are thought, all right, i think we've got
a mandate to completely brutalize human beings. Let's go for it.
And then they quickly realized, oh, we're so in the minority.
(09:03):
But we thought maybe these people would be pushovers, but
holy shit, we are actually the ones lacking deeply. We
are terribly outnumbered in terms of people's morality and the
sense of you know who to stick by, which again
I think the whole Alex Pretty things feels retaliatory. And
not to mention, there's reports that he had a previous
(09:23):
interaction with ICE a week before that, where they broke
his ripe Christ. So there's just so much more texture,
But again, it's so much of it isn't rooted to
your point of like these just fucking based freaks realizing
how just outnumbered they are, and now they're just thrashing
to try and make it all work.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And they all scattered once they shot him ten times,
they all ran away. Also representative Maxwell Frost, who's punished
at an event in Utah by some mega guy.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, tell us all about the paid agitators and the
radical freaks on the liberals who are trying to attack people,
But doesn't make It's not the point. They say this
because they just have to say the thing to not
cross the rubicon with their followers and say guys were
pieces of shit.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Who fucking hate these guys.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Okay, and that's it, but they still want to pretend
like there's still some sense of propriety to it all.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
By the way, they better be testing whatever the fuck
he sprayed her. I mean, it might be just his
piss or whatever, but like.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I'm sure they're tested.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I mean they the whole thing was, they're like, we
have to get you to the hospital or you need
to get we need to check this out because we
don't know what the fuck this guy her. Also her
words right after I think it's worth hearing her actually speak,
because they were trying to whisk her away to be
like I'm sorry, Like I'm sure the protocol is like
the second somebody jumps and tries to break the fourth wall,
you're like, we're out of here. But she's like, hold on,
(10:51):
let me just say this shit wan Like she's like,
I'm not going to fucking let these people win. Here's
the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand.
We are Minnesota strong and we will stay.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
With silly and in the face of whatever they might.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Throw on us.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Before she was crazy, there's this moment she's like arguing
with her security detail.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
She's like, just let me fucking just let me speak.
Don't fucking let these people win like this again.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, you wish more people had some kind of conviction
like that.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah, that fight, in that courage, that's what is needed.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Well, Like, honestly, the way she pulled her hand back
when she's like the I maybe the old ill Han
was like I'm fucking swing and then she's like, I'm
also representative Ilhano.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
And there step back.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
It was the one thing on just the sort of
overall what what's happening in Minnesota? Because I kept hearing
these stories of a judge who is who's got some
words for the Trump administration they got yeah, and people
are like, I've never seen a judge like so furious
(12:06):
and like an official opinion of him, like you know
about the Ice action.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well when you juxtapose that with what Ice has been
doing to get that judge to that point, yeah, yeah,
this guy isn't acting out of turn.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
This no King administration is.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
But that guy is a former Scalia clerk. He's like
Amy Cony Barrett's mentor, right, So like that does just
like if you're you know, looking at things from the
mega perspective like that, because all this ship's eventually going
to get to the Supreme Court because they're just violating
the Constitution over and over again. Yeah, that feels like
(12:45):
a vote of no confidence, you know, a vote of
get fucked from like the the the level of you know,
conservative shithead that is on the Supreme Court, which I
never know how they're going to react to a given situation,
but it seems like.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
They don't like this one yeah, I mean this is like,
this is a two he on I think Friday, the
DOJ was like, we got to arrest Don Lemon and
those people that were protesting, and they judge.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
This is what he said in the response to that.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It is important to emphasize that what the US Attorney
requested is unheard of in our district, or as best
as I can tell, any other district in the Eighth Circuit.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I've surveyed all of our judges.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Some of them have been judges in our district for
over forty years, and no one can remember the government
asking a district judge to review a magistrate judge's denial
of an arrest warrant. So at everything, they're like, you
guys don't know how any of this works, first of all.
And I think that's the other thing. While they can
change the machinery and like the bureaucracies, the judicial thing
is like there are people who have just been there
(13:45):
for so long. They're like, hold on, do what No?
And I think that's the that's been the one thing
that's somewhat slowed shit down. But yeah, I think the
big question now that todd Lyons has before.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
The judge is like Uh, have you heard of due process?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Right?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
And if not, get the fuck out, I think, is
what are we doing here?
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Seems pretty made? Is mad? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Yeah, a little bit mad.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back, and.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I think I now have the bone cadence because I
keep being like, we're gonna be in the morning. But
it's it's a little slower than that, right, well.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I mean not in the moaning.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Think about some it's it's thinking about that's it's the
thing about about.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
So many things in the morning. Yeah, so many.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
It's you gotta you gotta really roll into the butt
about so many things.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Yeah, that's what I said.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
This, you know what I mean. We figured it out, guys.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Vocal Stems with Jack and Miles.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Uh, Sydney Sweeney, Oh yeah, this is this belongs firmly
in trends. I think that's probably not going to happen.
But a writer jam like kind of found some interesting
background to the story. So Sidney Sweeney's latest promotional effort
is in the news, this time for non Nazi reasons.
She recently posted a video on Instagram of herself and
(15:17):
a masked cohort breaking into some kind of compound, and
for a brief moment, a lot of her followers must
have wondered if she was about to promote the new
season of euphour You by blowing up a pipeline. So
it turns out that it was just like some dumb
shit for an underwear company involving stringing bras from the
top of the Hollywood Sign.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
That's so fucking sick, dude.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
What dude bra on Hollywood Sign?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Wait, so you've got a fucking underwear company and your
promo video because you're like a Hollywood siren, is to
launch your brand siren with bras pond the Hollywood Sign.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Thank you, I'm.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
So sorry Sydney forever saying you were so dess for
good publicity. Fam, You're not a desk with this move,
fomb This was so well fought out found credit to
you two tools.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yep, who is her? Her team is just like stepping
on the rake after rake. Just so, this is not
the first time that the sign is being used to
sell products. It was previously featured ads for Pepsi and
Cool World.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Fuck uh Cool Cool World, the.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Nineties movie that was like what if Who framed Roger Rabbit?
Was even hornier even you know that movie that made
everybody feel uncomfortable because how orny it was.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah, when people are like, I think I love a
cartoon woman, right.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, go with that.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I had the video real second, but just like yeast boss,
but this one it was not. They did not get
permission and this so this led a researcher jam down
a rabbit hole because so the Hollywood sign is trademark.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
There there's the CEO of the.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is claiming it Sweeney didn't actually
have permission to film on the site or even show
the sign at all, since it's owned and licensed by them, right,
which we're not sure if that's like part of the
pr stunt. But people are like, Sweeney could face police
investigation for trespass. So she appears to break into the
(17:18):
site through a wire fest Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Okay, okay, that's things things that will never happen for
three thousand routes. I'm like, do we suddenly live in
a just world where the law is equally applied across
race and class?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I don't think so. I'm perfect perfect headline though, to
get people being like Sydney Sweeney could get arrested for
this dumb shoot. Yeah, because that's what I did see.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I saw so many headlines that were just attached to
Sidney Sweeny'd get arrested for this.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
No that like she could, this could be bad for her.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
This could be the end.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Well, she may have launched the campaign purely, so the
search is all for Sidney Sweeney advertisement would now feature
fewer articles about white supremacist dog whistles. The Hollywood Chamber
of Commerce and the Hollywood Sign Trust are still kind
of villains here. Yeah, so the idea that they should
have ever been able to trademark the Hollywood Sign is
(18:17):
pretty debatable. They threatened to sue the Kings, the hockey
team's goalie for having the sign on his mask, successfully
sued a German department store in a town with a
population of seventy seven thousand for putting a version of
the sign on their wall.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
How did you find that?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
I know, where's even where is Dorst in Germany? You
know what I mean? How did somebody from the Hollywood
Chamber of.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Commerce be like, yeah, yeah, Dorst in Germany store, cease
and desist, motherfuckers.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, just combing the internet waiting for anybody to walk
past a something that's referencing the Hollywood Sign. They've gone
after student films, a UCLA law student recruitment brochure. Yeah,
people will argue the sign belongs to the public, but
the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce insists that it owns the
(19:06):
trademark rights to the signs likeness and therefore can charge
for the use of that image. They tried to trademark
it at first and was denied because you can't get
trademark perfection for the name of a place. But then
they were eventually able to argue the sign was associated
with a product, which kind of I guess what the
(19:28):
product of Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah, it's a fucking I don't know, dude, I don't
even know what's going on with these fucks.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
And then they're also they also there's like a weird
conspiracy where they try and limit access to the sign'rue.
They changed the Google so if you google like directions
of the Hollywood Sign, they send you to the Griffith Observatory,
which is like not close.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
The canyon or these other streets that are the ones
that kind of are there's a trail, there's a trailhead
off the street canyon that you can take, but it's
like it's in the hills and all those people are like,
get off.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
My hill, right, So it's just it's people with access
to the chamber, you know, being like, hey, could you
get these people out of here, which then just like
causes a bunch of people to go to the griff
of the observatory and now you can't park there when
you want to like take your kid to the observatory. Yeah,
but yeah, and then they like post fake road closed
(20:25):
signs to try and like keep people out of there.
It is I will say, at the risk of getting
sued by the Hollywood Chamber of Congress, like hiking up
by the sign, it is kind of cool. There's there
are cool hikes and like being that close to the
sign and seeing how fucking big it is. There's a
lot of good a lot of good chances for the GRAM.
If that's the sort of thing you're.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Into, Yeah, baby, take your picture. Just don't break in
and hang up your braziers.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
But yeah, they they just send people to a much
more difficult and different path. So very very protective of
Hollywood Sign. There's so many I always see tourists and
like influencers just around LA. Like on a street that
has a view of the Hollywood Sign.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Like so it's so far away, like the version of
the picture they must have in their head and then
like what it must actually look like. It's like trying
to you know, any any picture I've ever taken of
the moon where it's like, oh that that came out
like total shit.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, there's so many.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I mean, like a lot of people are like, I
need a tree lined street with the Hollywood sign, and
that's the one that's the street that's Windsor that most
people for LA, for people visiting. If you want to
just cut right to it, you want the fucking palm
tree thing that's on Windsor and fourth, Yes, but.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
It's so far away, so yeah, yeah, you have to
do some I mean, I guess those shots are usually
the tree line streets and then cut to the Hollywood
sign because trying to get those two in the same picture,
you're not you're.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Not getting little bit hard, A little bit hard, all right.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
That's been inside LA talk inside LA with a lot
of bad info.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I'm pretty sure that's Wednesday, Pretty sure. I think it
is I'm gonna go.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
I think that's right. Yeah, right, all right.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Those are some of the things that are trending on
this Wednesday, January twenty eighth. We're back tomorrow morning with
a whole ass episode of the show. Until then, be
kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get your
vaccines where you still can't get your flu shots. Yeah,
don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk
to you off tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Bye bye bye.

Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
Bones Trend Poll. Oh that one courtesy of David Lesser,
the Bone Trend Poll. Heh yeah, a lot of people talking.
That is an iconic title. People are the Bone Temple,
that is, that's.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
What they I'm sure there was like a frat house
that nicknamed themselves like the Bones Temple or some ship.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I doubt this is.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You know, there's been some terrible uses of the phrase
Bone temp Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
And this is instead of saying this is my bedroom
where the magic happens, they're now saying this is the
Bone Temple where the magic happens.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
This is the Bone.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Temple, and I am its most dedicated monk.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
My name is Jack O'Brien.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my co host,
mister Miles.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
And we're early today, man, we're early.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Don't worry about it morning.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
So many things thinking about speaking of Bone, she sounds
like she could be in Bone Thugs and Harmony.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
The way she's cramming those syllables.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
In packing those syllables in.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I wish they were a yeah, Jim act, I wish
there was another like a bar to say you're packing
those syllables in, but it's really only a rapper. Yeah,
who would be packing syllables in?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
But I open it up to that gang. You're witty too.
Who else would be packing syllables in that? I can say? Anyway,
where are we at?
Speaker 4 (01:23):
What day is it?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
January twenty eighth? She probably did it herself her south. Also,
just speaking of a wrap wrap flows that we are
going to be talking about the Chuck E Cheese lin
Manuel Miranda thing on tomorrow's episode. Justa I know, I
know everybody's here for that. They're like the number one story. No,
(01:52):
if you have time before tomorrow's episode, uh, check that
video out because we're not gonna It's really one that
you have to like kind of watch the whole thing
to get the full But it's basically they fed the
entirety of the Hamilton soundtrack into an AI and then
had it created a Chuck E Cheese wrap about having
a good day, and it's just it is. Yeah, it's
wild anyway. Brain injury, brain injury. It does feel like,
(02:16):
uh oh the coma that I'm in something something's happening
to my brain.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
It is melting. I may be headed toward the Late Soon.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Hell yeah, fall off the skull Tender.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
You got some good lines this week. I gotta say
I'm a big fan, big fan Miles Gray presid demential.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
That's not the Actually I looked.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I'm not the first person to do that, which seems
right because it's right there.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
But like I said, I don't that's.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
All artists, cir curators, you know exactly.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Look, everything is a remix of a remix.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
That's right, including this new Chucky Cheese video that everybody
should go check out. But and by the way, the
thing waking Up in the Morning, because I didn't know
that before yesterday is a child On Real Housewives of
New Jersey, bag is being like arraigned and she's just
singing her heart about about like how how things are difficult.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
But it's like clearly written by a nine year.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, yeah, it's going through going through some things.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
We'll throw that in the footnotes today's episode.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
She's done it many times. Oh yeah, she's it's like
saying it multimately.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
She even party is doing that.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Even there was like a clothing line that she started
called waking Up in the Morning.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
It's just like when something that good, like you might
as well, Casha, when.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
You just hit me with the waking up, that's got the.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Thinking abod.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I do wonder if she if she was a fan
of Crossroads. I feel like it's the influences are Crossroads.
There's a little trapped in the closet. If that had
come out at that time, yeah, yeah, because it's just
like sort of that blank verse.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Well, I don't want to say this is another example
of white people stealing black culture, but look, I'll I
will say my judgment. I want to know the full
story for us, but it does feel derivative, derivative.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
All right, we have some news to get to. Ilhan
Omar was attacked by what appeared to be like a
drunk mega guy who had slept in his clothes for
the past three days.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
You you might be right, you might be right.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
And yeah, she's giving a speech about how the fucking
ice evildoers must be brought to justice and teached at
a minimum. Then some fucking maga scrote just pulls up
as a syringe full of some yellow liquid that he's
sprayed all over her. I think, as of now, we
(04:58):
still don't know what it was. Everyone's one thing that
people did say was it stunk like shit. And yeah,
he was quickly tackled, and you know, I looked like
she cocked her fist.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
She before she's tackled by her security, she walks towards
him with her fistback like she's about to whoop this
dude's ass, right, Which I just want to contrast that
with how like remember when that guy fanted in front
of Trump and RFK and Trump like just kind of
went into a fugue state and started like looking at
(05:32):
the cameras and RK ran out of the room.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, like it was an one mixtape or some shit.
You just saw a terrible crossover. Yeah, it was bad.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
But this is the thing that they can't handle on
the right is like courage and people you know like that.
I there's been a lot of takes that really resonated
with me about how the thing that they couldn't take
about Alex pretty was that he was a courageous person
looking out for someone else, right.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I mean it's yeah, in the of those examples you gave,
like the guy the pharmaceutical dude passing out in the oval,
and then ilhan Omar, we just saw literally the three
response with the three responses that we have fight, flight
or freeze.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Yeah, so you have to.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Fight from Omar, fight from RFK, and freeze from Donald Trump.
Yeah yeah, yeah, it's a I mean, I think yeah,
her courage is obviously, you know, being the center, being
a Somalian, being a Somalian in Minnesota with all this
bullshit happening right now and the president constantly, constantly attacking
(06:36):
and your community was always going to lead to some
shit like this. But again, this guy's like, she probably
sprayed herself. Have you read your own fucking will know?
But why I'm not talking to him? One thing we
should talk about is this guy Andy Kasmerck, who is
the person who attacked her. Apparently he was like yapping
to his friends and neighbors for days about how he's
going to do something dumb at this event. This from
(06:57):
the Day to Beat quote Kelly recounted Kasmerksavi in the
days leading up to the confrontation in Minneapolis. He said
that kas America had asked Kelly to mind his dog
and suggested he might get in trouble. But he said,
I'm gonna I'm going to this Omar thing. I'm like
Omar what he said, this town hall thing, and he
said I might get arrested. The neighbor says, I figured
it was nonsense. He wasn't gonna do anything stupid. I said, sure,
(07:20):
I'll walk her talking about the dog. But then the
next day he said, don't worry about it. I've got
it covered. I figured he blew it off. They also
said that he's been like on opioids because he had
a back injury and was diagnosed with Parkinson's recently. This
guy got like, it's like one of these things where
you have somebody who, like i'd imagine, could use a
(07:41):
bit of empathy.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Oh yeah, and they're like people are in hell.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
That shit turns into this other thing because the like
the conservative ethos right now, the right wing ethos is
to dead your sense of empathy completely and to never
ever admit that you are vulnerable.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Is the other huge thing that doesn't get talked about enough.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
These people never ever talk about a vulnerability because they
show it as weakness rather than a sign of um
like humanity. That may, yeah, exactly, I need to help, but.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I'm not gonna say anything. I'm gonna go darker into
the fucking abyss and then get arrested at a town
Hall event.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Yeah there was that.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Did you see the footage from the mar Lago party
the night Alex Pretty was murdered with like all their
like show girls in balls, floating on pools, Like, I mean,
this is every every night basically, but like it's just yeah, yes,
they can't they can't help but reveal who they are.
(08:38):
They keep doing it, you know.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, well, I mean I think that's the one thing
about what, especially with Minnesota and seeing how they were
ribuffed by the people's sense of solidarity, is that it
just laid waste to the idea that for all these
maga freaks are thought, all right, i think we've got
a mandate to completely brutalize human beings. Let's go for it.
And then they quickly realized, oh, we're so in the minority.
(09:03):
But we thought maybe these people would be pushovers, but
holy shit, we are actually the ones lacking deeply. We
are terribly outnumbered in terms of people's morality and the
sense of you know who to stick by, which again
I think the whole Alex Pretty things feels retaliatory. And
not to mention, there's reports that he had a previous
(09:23):
interaction with ICE a week before that, where they broke
his ripe Christ. So there's just so much more texture,
But again, it's so much of it isn't rooted to
your point of like these just fucking based freaks realizing
how just outnumbered they are, and now they're just thrashing
to try and make it all work.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
And they all scattered once they shot him ten times,
they all ran away. Also representative Maxwell Frost, who's punished
at an event in Utah by some mega guy.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Yeah, tell us all about the paid agitators and the
radical freaks on the liberals who are trying to attack people,
But doesn't make It's not the point. They say this
because they just have to say the thing to not
cross the rubicon with their followers and say guys were
pieces of shit.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Who fucking hate these guys.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Okay, and that's it, but they still want to pretend
like there's still some sense of propriety to it all.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
By the way, they better be testing whatever the fuck
he sprayed her. I mean, it might be just his
piss or whatever, but like.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
I'm sure they're tested.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I mean they the whole thing was, they're like, we
have to get you to the hospital or you need
to get we need to check this out because we
don't know what the fuck this guy her. Also her
words right after I think it's worth hearing her actually speak,
because they were trying to whisk her away to be
like I'm sorry, Like I'm sure the protocol is like
the second somebody jumps and tries to break the fourth wall,
you're like, we're out of here. But she's like, hold on,
(10:51):
let me just say this shit wan Like she's like,
I'm not going to fucking let these people win. Here's
the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand.
We are Minnesota strong and we will stay.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
With silly and in the face of whatever they might.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
Throw on us.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Before she was crazy, there's this moment she's like arguing
with her security detail.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
She's like, just let me fucking just let me speak.
Don't fucking let these people win like this again.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, you wish more people had some kind of conviction
like that.
Speaker 4 (11:26):
Yeah, that fight, in that courage, that's what is needed.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Well, Like, honestly, the way she pulled her hand back
when she's like the I maybe the old ill Han
was like I'm fucking swing and then she's like, I'm
also representative Ilhano.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
And there step back.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
It was the one thing on just the sort of
overall what what's happening in Minnesota? Because I kept hearing
these stories of a judge who is who's got some
words for the Trump administration they got yeah, and people
are like, I've never seen a judge like so furious
(12:06):
and like an official opinion of him, like you know
about the Ice action.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Well when you juxtapose that with what Ice has been
doing to get that judge to that point, yeah, yeah,
this guy isn't acting out of turn.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
This no King administration is.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
But that guy is a former Scalia clerk. He's like
Amy Cony Barrett's mentor, right, So like that does just
like if you're you know, looking at things from the
mega perspective like that, because all this ship's eventually going
to get to the Supreme Court because they're just violating
the Constitution over and over again. Yeah, that feels like
(12:45):
a vote of no confidence, you know, a vote of
get fucked from like the the the level of you know,
conservative shithead that is on the Supreme Court, which I
never know how they're going to react to a given situation,
but it seems like.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
They don't like this one yeah, I mean this is like,
this is a two he on I think Friday, the
DOJ was like, we got to arrest Don Lemon and
those people that were protesting, and they judge.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
This is what he said in the response to that.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
It is important to emphasize that what the US Attorney
requested is unheard of in our district, or as best
as I can tell, any other district in the Eighth Circuit.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I've surveyed all of our judges.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Some of them have been judges in our district for
over forty years, and no one can remember the government
asking a district judge to review a magistrate judge's denial
of an arrest warrant. So at everything, they're like, you
guys don't know how any of this works, first of all.
And I think that's the other thing. While they can
change the machinery and like the bureaucracies, the judicial thing
is like there are people who have just been there
(13:45):
for so long. They're like, hold on, do what No?
And I think that's the that's been the one thing
that's somewhat slowed shit down. But yeah, I think the
big question now that todd Lyons has before.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
The judge is like Uh, have you heard of due process?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Right?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
And if not, get the fuck out, I think, is
what are we doing here?
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Seems pretty made? Is mad? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Yeah, a little bit mad.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back, and.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
I think I now have the bone cadence because I
keep being like, we're gonna be in the morning. But
it's it's a little slower than that, right, well.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I mean not in the moaning.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Think about some it's it's thinking about that's it's the
thing about about.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
So many things in the morning. Yeah, so many.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
It's you gotta you gotta really roll into the butt
about so many things.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Yeah, that's what I said.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
This, you know what I mean. We figured it out, guys.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Vocal Stems with Jack and Miles.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Uh, Sydney Sweeney, Oh yeah, this is this belongs firmly
in trends. I think that's probably not going to happen.
But a writer jam like kind of found some interesting
background to the story. So Sidney Sweeney's latest promotional effort
is in the news, this time for non Nazi reasons.
She recently posted a video on Instagram of herself and
(15:17):
a masked cohort breaking into some kind of compound, and
for a brief moment, a lot of her followers must
have wondered if she was about to promote the new
season of euphour You by blowing up a pipeline. So
it turns out that it was just like some dumb
shit for an underwear company involving stringing bras from the
top of the Hollywood Sign.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
That's so fucking sick, dude.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
What dude bra on Hollywood Sign?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Wait, so you've got a fucking underwear company and your
promo video because you're like a Hollywood siren, is to
launch your brand siren with bras pond the Hollywood Sign.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Thank you, I'm.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
So sorry Sydney forever saying you were so dess for
good publicity. Fam, You're not a desk with this move,
fomb This was so well fought out found credit to
you two tools.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yep, who is her? Her team is just like stepping
on the rake after rake. Just so, this is not
the first time that the sign is being used to
sell products. It was previously featured ads for Pepsi and
Cool World.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Fuck uh Cool Cool World, the.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Nineties movie that was like what if Who framed Roger Rabbit?
Was even hornier even you know that movie that made
everybody feel uncomfortable because how orny it was.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Yeah, when people are like, I think I love a
cartoon woman, right.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, go with that.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
I had the video real second, but just like yeast boss,
but this one it was not. They did not get
permission and this so this led a researcher jam down
a rabbit hole because so the Hollywood sign is trademark.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
There there's the CEO of the.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is claiming it Sweeney didn't actually
have permission to film on the site or even show
the sign at all, since it's owned and licensed by them, right,
which we're not sure if that's like part of the
pr stunt. But people are like, Sweeney could face police
investigation for trespass. So she appears to break into the
(17:18):
site through a wire fest Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Okay, okay, that's things things that will never happen for
three thousand routes. I'm like, do we suddenly live in
a just world where the law is equally applied across
race and class?
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I don't think so. I'm perfect perfect headline though, to
get people being like Sydney Sweeney could get arrested for
this dumb shoot. Yeah, because that's what I did see.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I saw so many headlines that were just attached to
Sidney Sweeny'd get arrested for this.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
No that like she could, this could be bad for her.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
This could be the end.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Well, she may have launched the campaign purely, so the
search is all for Sidney Sweeney advertisement would now feature
fewer articles about white supremacist dog whistles. The Hollywood Chamber
of Commerce and the Hollywood Sign Trust are still kind
of villains here. Yeah, so the idea that they should
have ever been able to trademark the Hollywood Sign is
(18:17):
pretty debatable. They threatened to sue the Kings, the hockey
team's goalie for having the sign on his mask, successfully
sued a German department store in a town with a
population of seventy seven thousand for putting a version of
the sign on their wall.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
How did you find that?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
I know, where's even where is Dorst in Germany? You
know what I mean? How did somebody from the Hollywood
Chamber of.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Commerce be like, yeah, yeah, Dorst in Germany store, cease
and desist, motherfuckers.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Yeah, just combing the internet waiting for anybody to walk
past a something that's referencing the Hollywood Sign. They've gone
after student films, a UCLA law student recruitment brochure. Yeah,
people will argue the sign belongs to the public, but
the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce insists that it owns the
(19:06):
trademark rights to the signs likeness and therefore can charge
for the use of that image. They tried to trademark
it at first and was denied because you can't get
trademark perfection for the name of a place. But then
they were eventually able to argue the sign was associated
with a product, which kind of I guess what the
(19:28):
product of Hollywood.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah, it's a fucking I don't know, dude, I don't
even know what's going on with these fucks.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
And then they're also they also there's like a weird
conspiracy where they try and limit access to the sign'rue.
They changed the Google so if you google like directions
of the Hollywood Sign, they send you to the Griffith Observatory,
which is like not close.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
The canyon or these other streets that are the ones
that kind of are there's a trail, there's a trailhead
off the street canyon that you can take, but it's
like it's in the hills and all those people are like,
get off.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
My hill, right, So it's just it's people with access
to the chamber, you know, being like, hey, could you
get these people out of here, which then just like
causes a bunch of people to go to the griff
of the observatory and now you can't park there when
you want to like take your kid to the observatory. Yeah,
but yeah, and then they like post fake road closed
(20:25):
signs to try and like keep people out of there.
It is I will say, at the risk of getting
sued by the Hollywood Chamber of Congress, like hiking up
by the sign, it is kind of cool. There's there
are cool hikes and like being that close to the
sign and seeing how fucking big it is. There's a
lot of good a lot of good chances for the GRAM.
If that's the sort of thing you're.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Into, Yeah, baby, take your picture. Just don't break in
and hang up your braziers.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
But yeah, they they just send people to a much
more difficult and different path. So very very protective of
Hollywood Sign. There's so many I always see tourists and
like influencers just around LA. Like on a street that
has a view of the Hollywood Sign.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Like so it's so far away, like the version of
the picture they must have in their head and then
like what it must actually look like. It's like trying
to you know, any any picture I've ever taken of
the moon where it's like, oh that that came out
like total shit.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yeah, there's so many.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
I mean, like a lot of people are like, I
need a tree lined street with the Hollywood sign, and
that's the one that's the street that's Windsor that most
people for LA, for people visiting. If you want to
just cut right to it, you want the fucking palm
tree thing that's on Windsor and fourth, Yes, but.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
It's so far away, so yeah, yeah, you have to
do some I mean, I guess those shots are usually
the tree line streets and then cut to the Hollywood
sign because trying to get those two in the same picture,
you're not you're.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Not getting little bit hard, A little bit hard, all right.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
That's been inside LA talk inside LA with a lot
of bad info.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I'm pretty sure that's Wednesday, Pretty sure. I think it
is I'm gonna go.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
I think that's right. Yeah, right, all right.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Those are some of the things that are trending on
this Wednesday, January twenty eighth. We're back tomorrow morning with
a whole ass episode of the show. Until then, be
kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get your
vaccines where you still can't get your flu shots. Yeah,
don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk
to you off tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Bye bye bye.
