Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this special episode of
John Daly's Eight Guys for the Top Everything of two
thousand seventeen, the most nebulous award ever, the most nebulous
of awards. My name is Jack O'Brien. I'm joined as
always by my co host, Mr Miles Gray. Hello, and
we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by
the hilarious stand up comedian Brandy Posey. What's up, So
(00:24):
good to see you again. It's been a week. I
saw you last week. Now. We had camp come in
during the holidays because we like to put people up
with the art for free. Yeah, we worked hard. Uh
what did you get for Christapons? Mile? I got a
light fixture that I was complaining about that I'm not
this so I was boring as fun you Yeah, good bye,
(00:46):
excuse me one and I went into the shower and alright,
So this episode is nominally our Top Person of two
thousand seventeen, but since Time magazine already gives that out,
we're also just gonna make it sort of over Top
(01:07):
Everything of two thousand seventeen. I want to talk about
some underrated things, some overrated things. Since Myles and I
don't really get to dig into those. Usually we have
to sit back and listen to these fucking asshole guests.
You know what I'm saying, Brandy, I'm gonna go, Oh,
she's a guest. Awkward for you. So do you guys
(01:28):
have uh people persons of the year? Oh yeah, okay,
absolutely off, top off, top top rope, per year, person
of the year. Embraced yourselves because this is a take.
Danielle Burgoli cashed me outside. How about Dad? Hell yeah,
my person of the years? Dr Phil? No, No, I
(01:50):
think it is wild. This has been. If the last
two years have shown us anything is that people who
have no business doing certain things can do it. Sometimes
maybe you do it well and become successful. It's very weird.
So a teenager who starts off disrespecting her mother on
Dr Phil becomes a viral meme. Then Atlantic Record signs
(02:10):
like a three sixty deal, and she's putting out like
kind of decent music, Like not that it's good, but
it's not like when Kevin Federline put out propos out
you know what I mean. It's better than it has
any right being. Yeah, and it's amazing to me. And
I mean obviously she's set up for disaster as an adult.
But yeah, nothing good is going to happen ultimately, not
(02:31):
at all. And her mother is probably clearly explaining her
own daughter fall of this because as a miner, I mean,
the mom has to be on board with all of this,
you know. So, But again, I just can't believe that
we live in a world where someone like that can
be crazy to their mother. Someone going on Dr Phil
become as signed artist, get like millions of hits on YouTube.
(02:54):
It's fucking wild. So shout out to you, Daniel Bercoli.
I mean, it is the world we live in. Yeah,
completely well problematic. I mean, like, you know, she's the
fucking embodiment of appropriation to like she is, Like, it
just doesn't get crazier. But again, this is the fucking
see this is like Time magazine. It's not that I
think she's the best person, but I mean people need
(03:16):
to really keep an eye on this, this young woman
sign of the Times. The Times's amazing her mom, Like
it is so far from who she is that you
can tell that this has all just been like something
she picked up in the last couple of years, you know,
like because her mom's like I don't know what's going
on right like you do. But then also what's sad
(03:38):
is like I think her dad's a sheriff for something
and they're like estranged and he was like, that's not
my daughter and like so that's why it's also like
tragic too, because like all of these like crazy people
we've we've been talking about this year, there's pain underneath
all that. There's a deep darkness, deep darkness. Everybody that
hits it like that. Yeah, especially when you're calling uh dctor.
(04:00):
It was a whole audience, a bunch of hose cash
me outside, how about what? Yeah? Yeah, so I caught her.
I caught, I caught, I caught the wave. Uh. And
that's that's my nominee. She's gonna be a great where
are they now? I mean it's gonna be real good.
She's gonna be on those v H one shows with
like Sebastian Bach and like Danny Bona Ducci and Tanya
(04:22):
Harding and then I don't even know if they'll even
call her, uh Daniel Bargola. They'll be like and cash
me outside girl, Yeah, yep, for sure. Yeah, she'll be
doing like signings in like a Vegas small very soon, Brandy,
who you got? Um? I am going to nominate Jeff
Goldwoman is the person of the Year because he is
a notorious lady man, ladies man. I guess like lady man,
(04:48):
lady man, and boy would like to think he's a
lady man, but we all know he is a lady's
but no bad stories have come out about him, and
he shows how you can like be suave and like
they on absolutely everybody who goes to his jazz show. Absolutely,
but it's also kind of why you go. I think
like the trill is to be like, oh, maybe is
(05:08):
gonna like, you know, yeah, put his hand around me.
Thank you appreciate it. Yes, you kind of know what
you're getting into with him. Is his wife at the shows.
She comes to some of them, right, but not too often,
but she like she gets it. There's also been a
lot of really great articles about him because he was
in Ragnarok this year. He's got like, I think a
lot of new people got exposed to him as like
a sexy grandpa, which is kind of what he looks like. Now,
(05:30):
where's pants very well legs for like a long pair
of pants. It's good as a bunch of like is
very hot. I think you would nominate him no matter
what the year was. It sounds like wagers were just like,
why do I want to fund that? Like old grandpa
grandpain on. Look, I'm just saying he's very attractive. I've
(05:50):
never heard the compliment he knows how to wear a
pair of pants. I will show you some photos of
him wearing some pants. Okay, we'll have to do that,
and you'll be like, that's that's how you wear a
pair of pants. Correct, like three buttons undone on his
you know. Yeah, I'm with it. Yeah, he's he's my
nomination because nothing horrible has come out about him yet, right,
(06:11):
and he's someone that the potential could be Therefore, I
guess you're saying the amount of interactions he has with
with female fans and things like that, Yeah, exactly. It's
just like he shows you how consent can be sexy. Yeah,
he's like controlled, horny nous personified. He's just like always
on the edge of just seeing like out of control,
but he's just like restraining it right back. He always
looks that. He's like he's like astral projecting into like
(06:34):
a fabric store and just like feeling a bunch of
like Velvets. You know, he's just like he's always like
something is nice. We can't see. It's just he's just
living his life. He's delighted by everything. Also, he doesn't
care about Marvel versus d C. And there's a really
great meme of some reporter asking him which one he
(06:55):
likes better, and he goes, who cares? They're all comic
books as he's actively supporting. That is so great. I've
never been to Marvel, but I love DC like he
gets give a ship. I just I just really I
love I love the way the way that he lives
his life, the blissfulness with which surrounds him is just
(07:16):
a beautiful thing to um inspiration to all men. Yes, Jack,
what about you? Um? So I wanted to say Gregg
Popovich uh, like Gregovitch. I want to believe that we
are all Greg Popovitch H. But I think I have
to go with Tom Brady uh, because I can't wait
(07:37):
to hear this. He is the oblivious white man of
the year. And you know, all of these year end
lists are you know, flattering themselves by being like we
are all the me too movement, like Time magazine. But
the oblivious white man is what made all of this possible.
You guys just like the make a good point, the
(07:58):
shitty elf satisfied. Uh, you know, great at football. I
must say I'm a Patriots fan, but uh just completely
self satisfied. Uh. White dude who's like thinks everything is
just going well for everyone. Uh, that's who who made
all this possible. He is like the anti matter in
(08:19):
this year of you know, people coming up and uh,
you know, waking up. He's refusing to wake up. Um. Also, yeah,
the quote from earlier this year when like, uh, someone
was asking him about Trump and he's like, what's going
on in the world. I haven't paid much attention. I'm
just a positive person, right, Like, wow, so many people
(08:44):
you get to just live a very privileged like Tom Brady. Yeah,
you know, he's just going on. I'm just a positive guy.
I'm gonna ignore all kinds of ships, great systemic racism whatever. Um,
why doesn't everyone just try to be a millionaire white man?
I know, like what, I don't understand what everybody's problem is.
(09:04):
If we're being serious, it's probably like someone like yeah, yeah,
so that's that's mine. I hope he doesn't win our
person of the year off, but clearly I'm the locust
one as I chose a woman. Woman. Yeah, so we've
got two white men in appropriating white very weird group.
But let's let's take a step back and like it
(09:25):
just two thousand seventeen as a year. Yes, we made
it through, so that's that's good. We should feel good
about that. But if you had to compare two thousand
seventeen to all the other years that have come so
far in the past, let's say twenty yeah, yeah, and
not eleven was a bad year. I would say it
(09:45):
was one day, but yes, it was a bad I
was killing two thousand and one until then, Yeah, two
thousand one, you mean the summer of the shark? Well,
what else happened? I remember is that's what Time magazine
had on cover when nine eleven happened. Was the summer
of the shark? Why because like there had been two
(10:06):
shark attacks and they were like, so that's that is
what we worried about. Um remember that world? Yeah, but
uh yeah, so that was a bad one, and so
maybe there should be a shitty person who is representing
two thousand one. But I think two thousands seventeen deserves
a shitty person, and since we can't give Trump the
(10:26):
honor of being our person of the Year, I think
it should be someone else shitty. Um. I mean, if
if that's how we're feeling, I will back you up
on the Tom Brady or you know what, if it's
really shitty, it should be why a Coke? Oh, why
Coke should be our person of the year. He's the person, like,
let's let's be real time. He's the human embodiment of
(10:47):
everything that is wrong ter wealthy in this country. Yeah.
Like yeah, just born like a step away from home
plate and thinking he hit a home run like he Also,
his name sounds like diet Coke. Yeah, that's true. Your
name sounds like diet coke. Your family are billionaires, and
your name rhymes a diet Coke, which Diet Coke was
(11:10):
sort of the villain of two thousand seventeen. As a
Diet Coke drinker, I could not stop getting told by
motherfucker's being like, yo, you you should really drink diet coke. Seriously. Uh,
Like somebody tweeted at me, I like how Jack is
like covering up the camera on his laptop thinking that's
going to protect him but he's drinking a diet coke.
(11:32):
That's how the government is really gonna get you. Whyatt Coke? Yeah,
he's like, you know, because we were talking about this.
Every time I look at him, I go into a
fucking rage knowing that this guy you just can't stop
talking about Mussolini's gonna get Mussolini in the inevitable fucking
(11:54):
class wars like turn into the streets. I mean, this guy,
he is just so a believe vious and he's been
gas lit by his own privilege and he it's unbelievable
and like it's people like that who think that the
world is fine and ignore real fucking problems. Um So
I would love for him to get uh just a
(12:15):
wake up call. Maybe some ghost should visit him. Yeah,
and again, if you guys forget okay, I'm sorry, Like
I'm I'm we're talking like everyone listens to every episode
and keeps up with the news. Whyatt Coke is the
nephew of Charles and David Coke, like some of the
most evil people on earth basically, and his and his
father is their brother who kind of didn't want to
(12:37):
go that route like his he just sold his shares
to them. And it is a billionaire but basically got
screwed by selling his shares to them because they're now
the richest people on the planet. Yeah exactly, and they
only paid like you know, and his dad's like a
collector of wine so like, but he's the type of dude.
(12:59):
His dad owns that town, right. He he bought a
counterfeit bottle of wine that was supposedly owned by Thomas
Jefferson and he had to sue the guy who sold it.
Those are kind of problems that family has, Like you
told me, fake wine, right, Yeah, And so he has,
uh this this child who you know does not look
(13:22):
I don't know, like he should be the most remarkably
confident human being you've ever seen. But in the videos
of him, uh he So he's released a video about
his shirt designing line. Um, these are the ugliest shirts
you've ever seen, Like they are too ugly to be
wrapping paper like the shirts and he is like driving them,
(13:47):
like you know, this is how you live that ball
or lifestyle. Um, you know, I just I live with confidence. Um,
this is how like not everybody can live the palm
beach lifestyle. It's you. You have to watch the video
for yourself. But and again we have to shout out
that guy MFC Erickson who lovingly photos shopped us into
(14:08):
a god party with him, because that's what he said.
These shirts are made for you know, the boardroom or
going to a disco teca or on a yacht. He
literally said, disco teca disco teca. What Because I was
raised by Spanish speaking man, he's Spanish is technically my
first language, so I get confused sometimes. Um, but this
(14:32):
is also a good indication that he's the person of
the year because how I feel about him. Uh. In
two thousand sixteen, I would have immediately given him the
benefit of the doubt and been like, oh, he's just
a scared guy who like we should feel sorry for
and you know, he's just trying to cover up some
in atic And now I'm just like, no, man, let's
(14:52):
funk this dude, like he's a bad person, because that's
what two thousand seventeen did. Like, you can't give people
the benefit of the doubt anymore after this, especially with
this massive wealth redistribution, because like the wealth gap is
basically we're at Russia levels where one percent of the
country controls of the wealth. Uh, putin good job, man,
because I guess we kind of are Russia to eat
(15:13):
the rich guys. Yeah, and I will love to feast
on his corpulent body. Oh yeah, yeah. Here's the thing
that while yeah, it's going to be the marbling on
that thy uh congratulation, it sends up on Fox News
and listen to these cannibalistic liberal weirdo anyways, White Coke, congratulations. Yeah,
(15:37):
please come to our come to our office and accept
your Person of two thousand and seventeen honors. All right,
we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be back
with more of our best everything of the year. And
(15:57):
we're back. Um My, as I wanted to ask, do
you have any like underrated overrateds that our guests have
brought that you've been like, man, that that's so good,
or that that you've wanted because we never get to
we never do our own underrated overrated I'm excited to
hear this, um and I'm just springing this and we
(16:17):
were like talking about it before we recorded. I really like, uh,
it's been mentioned in other people's underrated over is I
don't think it's actually been there Underrated, but Insecure season
two or just insecure in general. Uh if he was
talking about how that's one of the few shows that
actually shows, uh what Compton is actually like like to
(16:38):
live there. That's not like a gangster movie or something,
but like what it's actually like to live there. And
also you were saying that, you know, Miles is dead
as a super talented photographer, and he's saying that, weren't
weren't you saying that? He said that that's like one
of the shows that actually like lights black people correctly. Yeah,
like you know, lighting wise, like it's actually done. It's
(16:59):
a game change, because yeah, most gaffers don't understand how
do light black people because the pigment absorbs light rather
than reflecting it. Uh, And so their challenges in and
of that self. But yeah, in terms of like ones
that I've heard other people say, you know, I'm kind
of on board now and I don't God, I'm gonna
get my California paths provoked. That in and Out is overright,
(17:23):
because I came in he stabbing people over talking ship
on in and out and I'm not again look in
and Out is great, But I've been put on into
shake shack, and holy shit, that is a fucking burger.
And before y'all text me and tweet me what about
(17:44):
what a Burger? I have not been to Texas yet.
I haven't had what a Brandy is doing the most
her face is in a twist? What the funk burger?
Really not good? Sorry Texas? Wow? Okay, Well, I still
I feel like there's still other ones that I still
need to try. But that was something that I definitely
saw my own posture on that point soften over guest
(18:06):
after guest after guests, and then finally I reached critical
mass and had to just go try shake Shack. And
it's true, it's it's good. But again I do have
to test the caveat in and out is still the
best drive through burger you can get, and that's where
that is. So that's that's one thing I will I
will concede my one, my big underrated of the year millennials,
(18:27):
overrated baby boomers. Fuck baby boomers. Just just go ahead
and just you know, let's all retire now, guys that
you're doing a terrible, terrible fucking job. GTF oh our
own parents included. Uh no, actually there's yeah, there are
(18:48):
some good ones, but yeah, for the baby boomers, eight
gangers out there, right, Yeah, for sure. But like, just
like writ large, so many of the people who it
turn and out had been problematic and been like using uh,
you know, privacy for just horrifying things were baby boomers, Uh,
(19:09):
millennials who everyone was like, they don't even care about
privacy concerns. They're just willing to share everything. Like you're
not seeing a lot of millennials coming out as like
sexual abusers or you know, sexual deviance. I'm sure there
will be some that are problematic, but uh, you know,
I don't know, And there are also so many talented ones,
(19:30):
uh people, I don't know. All these articles about how
baby boomers are going to ruin the world, they just
go ahead and give them the world and let's see
what they do with it, because you guys have fucked
it up pretty aggressively. Well, I love my parents, so
you know, like I love my parents too. I would
say underrated my parents. Uh, underrated some boers uh. And
(19:57):
engineer Nick is actually pointing out at sex x tantasion
is a real shitty millennial. So yeah, there's bad people
in every generation and good people in every generation around Yeah,
that was quick At the same time, though, just if
we're going to talk about generational ship. Uh, I don't
(20:18):
know baby boomers. Uh, it's been a rough run, guys. Yeah,
more like I'm ana want to be baby boomers, so
I'm not in the same thing. My baby boomer friends
will stop hanging out with me overright. Also, tech monopolies,
I feel like the way that we still give them
(20:39):
the benefit of the doubt is going to look extra
silly in about three years. Like you ever, like go
back and read articles from the early twentieth century and
they're like, I don't know John D. Rockefeller, you see,
like they still talk about Rockefeller like they're just giving
him the benefit of the doubt that he's like dope
and like the best guy. Like I feel like that's
how it's gonna look when the way we still like
(21:01):
assume Google on Facebook, like there's there were now starting
to be like yo, what the fuck? But yeah, what
have they been doing this whole time? And we've just
been like, but they're fun. Yeah, Google is spelled in
funny characters every day. They can't be an evil corporation
that steals all of our information. But you know what,
you know what is underrated for me now after talking
(21:23):
about this slime. Wow, I just can't believe how important
it actually is to people. Turns out slime is like
I feel like I have been asleep. Yeah, and I
am not aware of what is going on in in
our own culture and to know to now see how
(21:46):
much slime is important people, I think it's being severely underrated.
I don't know what the funk is going on. I'm
not saying I like that it's underrated, but I clearly
was underrating slime. You you really were. Um, it's a
d dive that I hope you're prepared to go down.
You're gonna it's gonna change your life, right, And for
people who don't know slime, like we're just talking about
people just making fucking slime, playing with it on the internet,
(22:08):
become an industry, it's there's a hol economy around it.
I mean, God, the whole subsection of humanity that just
really loves a good slime. Yeah. I'm watching a video
right now on YouTube, twelve million views hand soap and
sugar slime, no glue, clear slime with hand soap and
sugar to ingredients, clear slime. None of that makes any
(22:29):
fucking sense to me, But it has twelve million views,
and it's just I've been watching thirty seconds of it
so far and it's just somebody pumping hand soap into
a container. So I don't know what the fun is
going on you guys, but it's crazy. Any of you
a professional slimers or part of that slime gang, slime gang,
you know, hit us up. I would love to talk
(22:50):
to you and really understand what is going on. Where
you at, slime fan, where's the slim Yeah, come on,
slime fam Al right, guys, anything else to say about
two thousand seventeen before we h get the funk out
of here. I'm glad it's almost over, you know what.
I guess it is over? Well, it's almost over. It's
a very double edged sword because it was very cutting,
but it also many people had to like wake the
(23:12):
funk up this year too. Yeah. Um. So I'm hoping
the trend continues anden like we can really start hitting
critical mass on some of these things and really, uh,
you know, do what's right for the world and each other.
That's my that's my not my stay out of hopeful note.
I appreciate it, thank you so much. Um, And that's
(23:33):
going to do it for today. Brandy, where can uh
the Zeke Gang follow you at? I'm on Twitter and
Instagram at brand Dazzle It's b r A and d A.
It's Eazy Ellie and you can find all my tour dates.
I'm a stand up comedian at Brandy Posey dot com. Um. Yeah,

(24:58):
that I sa
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this special episode of
John Daly's Eight Guys for the Top Everything of two
thousand seventeen, the most nebulous award ever, the most nebulous
of awards. My name is Jack O'Brien. I'm joined as
always by my co host, Mr Miles Gray. Hello, and
we're thrilled to be joined in our third seat by
the hilarious stand up comedian Brandy Posey. What's up, So
(00:24):
good to see you again. It's been a week. I
saw you last week. Now. We had camp come in
during the holidays because we like to put people up
with the art for free. Yeah, we worked hard. Uh
what did you get for Christapons? Mile? I got a
light fixture that I was complaining about that I'm not
this so I was boring as fun you Yeah, good bye,
(00:46):
excuse me one and I went into the shower and alright,
So this episode is nominally our Top Person of two
thousand seventeen, but since Time magazine already gives that out,
we're also just gonna make it sort of over Top
(01:07):
Everything of two thousand seventeen. I want to talk about
some underrated things, some overrated things. Since Myles and I
don't really get to dig into those. Usually we have
to sit back and listen to these fucking asshole guests.
You know what I'm saying, Brandy, I'm gonna go, Oh,
she's a guest. Awkward for you. So do you guys
(01:28):
have uh people persons of the year? Oh yeah, okay,
absolutely off, top off, top top rope, per year, person
of the year. Embraced yourselves because this is a take.
Danielle Burgoli cashed me outside. How about Dad? Hell yeah,
my person of the years? Dr Phil? No, No, I
(01:50):
think it is wild. This has been. If the last
two years have shown us anything is that people who
have no business doing certain things can do it. Sometimes
maybe you do it well and become successful. It's very weird.
So a teenager who starts off disrespecting her mother on
Dr Phil becomes a viral meme. Then Atlantic Record signs
(02:10):
like a three sixty deal, and she's putting out like
kind of decent music, Like not that it's good, but
it's not like when Kevin Federline put out propos out
you know what I mean. It's better than it has
any right being. Yeah, and it's amazing to me. And
I mean obviously she's set up for disaster as an adult.
But yeah, nothing good is going to happen ultimately, not
(02:31):
at all. And her mother is probably clearly explaining her
own daughter fall of this because as a miner, I mean,
the mom has to be on board with all of this,
you know. So, But again, I just can't believe that
we live in a world where someone like that can
be crazy to their mother. Someone going on Dr Phil
become as signed artist, get like millions of hits on YouTube.
(02:54):
It's fucking wild. So shout out to you, Daniel Bercoli.
I mean, it is the world we live in. Yeah,
completely well problematic. I mean, like, you know, she's the
fucking embodiment of appropriation to like she is, Like, it
just doesn't get crazier. But again, this is the fucking
see this is like Time magazine. It's not that I
think she's the best person, but I mean people need
(03:16):
to really keep an eye on this, this young woman
sign of the Times. The Times's amazing her mom, Like
it is so far from who she is that you
can tell that this has all just been like something
she picked up in the last couple of years, you know,
like because her mom's like I don't know what's going
on right like you do. But then also what's sad
(03:38):
is like I think her dad's a sheriff for something
and they're like estranged and he was like, that's not
my daughter and like so that's why it's also like
tragic too, because like all of these like crazy people
we've we've been talking about this year, there's pain underneath
all that. There's a deep darkness, deep darkness. Everybody that
hits it like that. Yeah, especially when you're calling uh dctor.
(04:00):
It was a whole audience, a bunch of hose cash
me outside, how about what? Yeah? Yeah, so I caught her.
I caught, I caught, I caught the wave. Uh. And
that's that's my nominee. She's gonna be a great where
are they now? I mean it's gonna be real good.
She's gonna be on those v H one shows with
like Sebastian Bach and like Danny Bona Ducci and Tanya
(04:22):
Harding and then I don't even know if they'll even
call her, uh Daniel Bargola. They'll be like and cash
me outside girl, Yeah, yep, for sure. Yeah, she'll be
doing like signings in like a Vegas small very soon, Brandy,
who you got? Um? I am going to nominate Jeff
Goldwoman is the person of the Year because he is
a notorious lady man, ladies man. I guess like lady man,
(04:48):
lady man, and boy would like to think he's a
lady man, but we all know he is a lady's
but no bad stories have come out about him, and
he shows how you can like be suave and like
they on absolutely everybody who goes to his jazz show. Absolutely,
but it's also kind of why you go. I think
like the trill is to be like, oh, maybe is
(05:08):
gonna like, you know, yeah, put his hand around me.
Thank you appreciate it. Yes, you kind of know what
you're getting into with him. Is his wife at the shows.
She comes to some of them, right, but not too often,
but she like she gets it. There's also been a
lot of really great articles about him because he was
in Ragnarok this year. He's got like, I think a
lot of new people got exposed to him as like
a sexy grandpa, which is kind of what he looks like. Now,
(05:30):
where's pants very well legs for like a long pair
of pants. It's good as a bunch of like is
very hot. I think you would nominate him no matter
what the year was. It sounds like wagers were just like,
why do I want to fund that? Like old grandpa
grandpain on. Look, I'm just saying he's very attractive. I've
(05:50):
never heard the compliment he knows how to wear a
pair of pants. I will show you some photos of
him wearing some pants. Okay, we'll have to do that,
and you'll be like, that's that's how you wear a
pair of pants. Correct, like three buttons undone on his
you know. Yeah, I'm with it. Yeah, he's he's my
nomination because nothing horrible has come out about him yet, right,
(06:11):
and he's someone that the potential could be Therefore, I
guess you're saying the amount of interactions he has with
with female fans and things like that, Yeah, exactly. It's
just like he shows you how consent can be sexy. Yeah,
he's like controlled, horny nous personified. He's just like always
on the edge of just seeing like out of control,
but he's just like restraining it right back. He always
looks that. He's like he's like astral projecting into like
(06:34):
a fabric store and just like feeling a bunch of
like Velvets. You know, he's just like he's always like
something is nice. We can't see. It's just he's just
living his life. He's delighted by everything. Also, he doesn't
care about Marvel versus d C. And there's a really
great meme of some reporter asking him which one he
(06:55):
likes better, and he goes, who cares? They're all comic
books as he's actively supporting. That is so great. I've
never been to Marvel, but I love DC like he
gets give a ship. I just I just really I
love I love the way the way that he lives
his life, the blissfulness with which surrounds him is just
(07:16):
a beautiful thing to um inspiration to all men. Yes, Jack,
what about you? Um? So I wanted to say Gregg
Popovich uh, like Gregovitch. I want to believe that we
are all Greg Popovitch H. But I think I have
to go with Tom Brady uh, because I can't wait
(07:37):
to hear this. He is the oblivious white man of
the year. And you know, all of these year end
lists are you know, flattering themselves by being like we
are all the me too movement, like Time magazine. But
the oblivious white man is what made all of this possible.
You guys just like the make a good point, the
(07:58):
shitty elf satisfied. Uh, you know, great at football. I
must say I'm a Patriots fan, but uh just completely
self satisfied. Uh. White dude who's like thinks everything is
just going well for everyone. Uh, that's who who made
all this possible. He is like the anti matter in
(08:19):
this year of you know, people coming up and uh,
you know, waking up. He's refusing to wake up. Um. Also, yeah,
the quote from earlier this year when like, uh, someone
was asking him about Trump and he's like, what's going
on in the world. I haven't paid much attention. I'm
just a positive person, right, Like, wow, so many people
(08:44):
you get to just live a very privileged like Tom Brady. Yeah,
you know, he's just going on. I'm just a positive guy.
I'm gonna ignore all kinds of ships, great systemic racism whatever. Um,
why doesn't everyone just try to be a millionaire white man?
I know, like what, I don't understand what everybody's problem is.
(09:04):
If we're being serious, it's probably like someone like yeah, yeah,
so that's that's mine. I hope he doesn't win our
person of the year off, but clearly I'm the locust
one as I chose a woman. Woman. Yeah, so we've
got two white men in appropriating white very weird group.
But let's let's take a step back and like it
(09:25):
just two thousand seventeen as a year. Yes, we made
it through, so that's that's good. We should feel good
about that. But if you had to compare two thousand
seventeen to all the other years that have come so
far in the past, let's say twenty yeah, yeah, and
not eleven was a bad year. I would say it
(09:45):
was one day, but yes, it was a bad I
was killing two thousand and one until then, Yeah, two
thousand one, you mean the summer of the shark? Well,
what else happened? I remember is that's what Time magazine
had on cover when nine eleven happened. Was the summer
of the shark? Why because like there had been two
(10:06):
shark attacks and they were like, so that's that is
what we worried about. Um remember that world? Yeah, but
uh yeah, so that was a bad one, and so
maybe there should be a shitty person who is representing
two thousand one. But I think two thousands seventeen deserves
a shitty person, and since we can't give Trump the
(10:26):
honor of being our person of the Year, I think
it should be someone else shitty. Um. I mean, if
if that's how we're feeling, I will back you up
on the Tom Brady or you know what, if it's
really shitty, it should be why a Coke? Oh, why
Coke should be our person of the year. He's the person, like,
let's let's be real time. He's the human embodiment of
(10:47):
everything that is wrong ter wealthy in this country. Yeah.
Like yeah, just born like a step away from home
plate and thinking he hit a home run like he Also,
his name sounds like diet Coke. Yeah, that's true. Your
name sounds like diet coke. Your family are billionaires, and
your name rhymes a diet Coke, which Diet Coke was
(11:10):
sort of the villain of two thousand seventeen. As a
Diet Coke drinker, I could not stop getting told by
motherfucker's being like, yo, you you should really drink diet coke. Seriously. Uh,
Like somebody tweeted at me, I like how Jack is
like covering up the camera on his laptop thinking that's
going to protect him but he's drinking a diet coke.
(11:32):
That's how the government is really gonna get you. Whyatt Coke? Yeah,
he's like, you know, because we were talking about this.
Every time I look at him, I go into a
fucking rage knowing that this guy you just can't stop
talking about Mussolini's gonna get Mussolini in the inevitable fucking
(11:54):
class wars like turn into the streets. I mean, this guy,
he is just so a believe vious and he's been
gas lit by his own privilege and he it's unbelievable
and like it's people like that who think that the
world is fine and ignore real fucking problems. Um So
I would love for him to get uh just a
(12:15):
wake up call. Maybe some ghost should visit him. Yeah,
and again, if you guys forget okay, I'm sorry, Like
I'm I'm we're talking like everyone listens to every episode
and keeps up with the news. Whyatt Coke is the
nephew of Charles and David Coke, like some of the
most evil people on earth basically, and his and his
father is their brother who kind of didn't want to
(12:37):
go that route like his he just sold his shares
to them. And it is a billionaire but basically got
screwed by selling his shares to them because they're now
the richest people on the planet. Yeah exactly, and they
only paid like you know, and his dad's like a
collector of wine so like, but he's the type of dude.
(12:59):
His dad owns that town, right. He he bought a
counterfeit bottle of wine that was supposedly owned by Thomas
Jefferson and he had to sue the guy who sold it.
Those are kind of problems that family has, Like you
told me, fake wine, right, Yeah, And so he has,
uh this this child who you know does not look
(13:22):
I don't know, like he should be the most remarkably
confident human being you've ever seen. But in the videos
of him, uh he So he's released a video about
his shirt designing line. Um, these are the ugliest shirts
you've ever seen, Like they are too ugly to be
wrapping paper like the shirts and he is like driving them,
(13:47):
like you know, this is how you live that ball
or lifestyle. Um, you know, I just I live with confidence. Um,
this is how like not everybody can live the palm
beach lifestyle. It's you. You have to watch the video
for yourself. But and again we have to shout out
that guy MFC Erickson who lovingly photos shopped us into
(14:08):
a god party with him, because that's what he said.
These shirts are made for you know, the boardroom or
going to a disco teca or on a yacht. He
literally said, disco teca disco teca. What Because I was
raised by Spanish speaking man, he's Spanish is technically my
first language, so I get confused sometimes. Um, but this
(14:32):
is also a good indication that he's the person of
the year because how I feel about him. Uh. In
two thousand sixteen, I would have immediately given him the
benefit of the doubt and been like, oh, he's just
a scared guy who like we should feel sorry for
and you know, he's just trying to cover up some
in atic And now I'm just like, no, man, let's
(14:52):
funk this dude, like he's a bad person, because that's
what two thousand seventeen did. Like, you can't give people
the benefit of the doubt anymore after this, especially with
this massive wealth redistribution, because like the wealth gap is
basically we're at Russia levels where one percent of the
country controls of the wealth. Uh, putin good job, man,
because I guess we kind of are Russia to eat
(15:13):
the rich guys. Yeah, and I will love to feast
on his corpulent body. Oh yeah, yeah. Here's the thing
that while yeah, it's going to be the marbling on
that thy uh congratulation, it sends up on Fox News
and listen to these cannibalistic liberal weirdo anyways, White Coke, congratulations. Yeah,
(15:37):
please come to our come to our office and accept
your Person of two thousand and seventeen honors. All right,
we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be back
with more of our best everything of the year. And
(15:57):
we're back. Um My, as I wanted to ask, do
you have any like underrated overrateds that our guests have
brought that you've been like, man, that that's so good,
or that that you've wanted because we never get to
we never do our own underrated overrated I'm excited to
hear this, um and I'm just springing this and we
(16:17):
were like talking about it before we recorded. I really like, uh,
it's been mentioned in other people's underrated over is I
don't think it's actually been there Underrated, but Insecure season
two or just insecure in general. Uh if he was
talking about how that's one of the few shows that
actually shows, uh what Compton is actually like like to
(16:38):
live there. That's not like a gangster movie or something,
but like what it's actually like to live there. And
also you were saying that, you know, Miles is dead
as a super talented photographer, and he's saying that, weren't
weren't you saying that? He said that that's like one
of the shows that actually like lights black people correctly. Yeah,
like you know, lighting wise, like it's actually done. It's
(16:59):
a game change, because yeah, most gaffers don't understand how
do light black people because the pigment absorbs light rather
than reflecting it. Uh, And so their challenges in and
of that self. But yeah, in terms of like ones
that I've heard other people say, you know, I'm kind
of on board now and I don't God, I'm gonna
get my California paths provoked. That in and Out is overright,
(17:23):
because I came in he stabbing people over talking ship
on in and out and I'm not again look in
and Out is great, But I've been put on into
shake shack, and holy shit, that is a fucking burger.
And before y'all text me and tweet me what about
(17:44):
what a Burger? I have not been to Texas yet.
I haven't had what a Brandy is doing the most
her face is in a twist? What the funk burger?
Really not good? Sorry Texas? Wow? Okay, Well, I still
I feel like there's still other ones that I still
need to try. But that was something that I definitely
saw my own posture on that point soften over guest
(18:06):
after guest after guests, and then finally I reached critical
mass and had to just go try shake Shack. And
it's true, it's it's good. But again I do have
to test the caveat in and out is still the
best drive through burger you can get, and that's where
that is. So that's that's one thing I will I
will concede my one, my big underrated of the year millennials,
(18:27):
overrated baby boomers. Fuck baby boomers. Just just go ahead
and just you know, let's all retire now, guys that
you're doing a terrible, terrible fucking job. GTF oh our
own parents included. Uh no, actually there's yeah, there are
(18:48):
some good ones, but yeah, for the baby boomers, eight
gangers out there, right, Yeah, for sure. But like, just
like writ large, so many of the people who it
turn and out had been problematic and been like using uh,
you know, privacy for just horrifying things were baby boomers, Uh,
(19:09):
millennials who everyone was like, they don't even care about
privacy concerns. They're just willing to share everything. Like you're
not seeing a lot of millennials coming out as like
sexual abusers or you know, sexual deviance. I'm sure there
will be some that are problematic, but uh, you know,
I don't know, And there are also so many talented ones,
(19:30):
uh people, I don't know. All these articles about how
baby boomers are going to ruin the world, they just
go ahead and give them the world and let's see
what they do with it, because you guys have fucked
it up pretty aggressively. Well, I love my parents, so
you know, like I love my parents too. I would
say underrated my parents. Uh, underrated some boers uh. And
(19:57):
engineer Nick is actually pointing out at sex x tantasion
is a real shitty millennial. So yeah, there's bad people
in every generation and good people in every generation around Yeah,
that was quick At the same time, though, just if
we're going to talk about generational ship. Uh, I don't
(20:18):
know baby boomers. Uh, it's been a rough run, guys. Yeah,
more like I'm ana want to be baby boomers, so
I'm not in the same thing. My baby boomer friends
will stop hanging out with me overright. Also, tech monopolies,
I feel like the way that we still give them
(20:39):
the benefit of the doubt is going to look extra
silly in about three years. Like you ever, like go
back and read articles from the early twentieth century and
they're like, I don't know John D. Rockefeller, you see,
like they still talk about Rockefeller like they're just giving
him the benefit of the doubt that he's like dope
and like the best guy. Like I feel like that's
how it's gonna look when the way we still like
(21:01):
assume Google on Facebook, like there's there were now starting
to be like yo, what the fuck? But yeah, what
have they been doing this whole time? And we've just
been like, but they're fun. Yeah, Google is spelled in
funny characters every day. They can't be an evil corporation
that steals all of our information. But you know what,
you know what is underrated for me now after talking
(21:23):
about this slime. Wow, I just can't believe how important
it actually is to people. Turns out slime is like
I feel like I have been asleep. Yeah, and I
am not aware of what is going on in in
our own culture and to know to now see how
(21:46):
much slime is important people, I think it's being severely underrated.
I don't know what the funk is going on. I'm
not saying I like that it's underrated, but I clearly
was underrating slime. You you really were. Um, it's a
d dive that I hope you're prepared to go down.
You're gonna it's gonna change your life, right, And for
people who don't know slime, like we're just talking about
people just making fucking slime, playing with it on the internet,
(22:08):
become an industry, it's there's a hol economy around it.
I mean, God, the whole subsection of humanity that just
really loves a good slime. Yeah. I'm watching a video
right now on YouTube, twelve million views hand soap and
sugar slime, no glue, clear slime with hand soap and
sugar to ingredients, clear slime. None of that makes any
(22:29):
fucking sense to me, But it has twelve million views,
and it's just I've been watching thirty seconds of it
so far and it's just somebody pumping hand soap into
a container. So I don't know what the fun is
going on you guys, but it's crazy. Any of you
a professional slimers or part of that slime gang, slime gang,
you know, hit us up. I would love to talk
(22:50):
to you and really understand what is going on. Where
you at, slime fan, where's the slim Yeah, come on,
slime fam Al right, guys, anything else to say about
two thousand seventeen before we h get the funk out
of here. I'm glad it's almost over, you know what.
I guess it is over? Well, it's almost over. It's
a very double edged sword because it was very cutting,
but it also many people had to like wake the
(23:12):
funk up this year too. Yeah. Um. So I'm hoping
the trend continues anden like we can really start hitting
critical mass on some of these things and really, uh,
you know, do what's right for the world and each other.
That's my that's my not my stay out of hopeful note.
I appreciate it, thank you so much. Um, And that's
(23:33):
going to do it for today. Brandy, where can uh
the Zeke Gang follow you at? I'm on Twitter and
Instagram at brand Dazzle It's b r A and d A.
