(02:11):
Miles Gray. This is the Monday Morning episode where we
tell you what is trending, what happened over the weekend
was trending this morning. But first, Miles, we do like
to allow them in, don't you know, come into our homes?
No them in. No, they seem nice. And I like
(02:32):
the little I like the acappella bluegrass song that they're singing.
All right, this is cool. This is a hYP new sound. Yeah,
I kind of like this, Come on, is that? What
is that? A Civil war march from the South and
the white people seem cool? Look at the look at
those little Irish dances they're doing. All right, I'll stop
(02:53):
referencing sinners. Although we will talk about centers a little
bit later, we will, I will myles first. We like
to let our listeners get to know us a little
bit better by doing an underrated overrated. Of course during
our show we have the guests do them, but hey,
we got we got opinions too.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
This is our show too. Goddamn, this is my show.
God damn it. And guess what. My mom didn't want
to hear my overrated or underrated this weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
So this is where I do him try every weekend. Yeah,
she's always gonna be like, you know what are you
about to try out and overrage? Underrated? Mom? What's something?
I go, Mom, what's the mean thing? Is overrated? It's
is overrated? None? And I'm like, what's something?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Never mind, you're not good at being a podcast guest.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh you're always against me, mom? Could you imagine if
that's just how we were in our day to day life. Hey,
nice to meet you. What's something? He thinks overrated and
wants something he thinks underrated. Hey, let me get a
little at your phone. I want to see your search.
I am sorry.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Your son is acting out in school. That's why you're here, sir.
All right, so his behavior down doing?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Overrated? Underrated? What do you think is overrated about his baby? Underrated?
How hard he pushes the kids right where?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I didn't I didn't think that kid had that strength.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
He's lift in weights, not like heavy, just soup cans
for now, I'm I try to stunt his growth or
anything you think is underrated underrated. This is so specific
to just my life, but just stories from your cousins.
I've got some fucking wacky cousins. Like they I have
(04:26):
interesting shit going on. My cousins have just they're much
more interesting character type people. They're like adult swim characters.
And my one cousin recently got married, so her majesty
and I we took my cousin and his and his
wife out for dinner and we were just catching up
and I was like, Yo, what's up with cam and this?
(04:48):
I don't know how to describe my cousin. He just
has this energy where he gets swept up in weird
situations and like cross his paths with the weirdest people.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
So I was like, what's up with him.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
He's like, dude, the other night on Halloween, we go
to this bar and like we were watching the Dodger game,
closed out the bar, we're leaving, and then randomly he like,
lets this very inebriated woman just jump in the car,
like we don't even have an extra seat for this woman.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
And she's like, she's like, hey.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
He said, it's cool if I come with you guys,
and they're like, dude, we're going home.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
What where do you live.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
She's like it doesn't matter. I'm gonna figure it out.
I just need to get out of here.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Let's go. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
And my cousin Cam, he's like a nice guy, but
he's also kind of quirky, so he just doesn't have
the heart to be like, bro, you can't cut Like no,
what he said, there's also there's not even for you.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I think that's all because she was like she was
like I like your hair or some shit like that.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Just some positive.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Attention that he got, and he's like, yeah, sure, this
isn't red Flag City Hop in our car. You're geeked up,
like a like, who fucking like the Dodgers just won
the fucking World Series.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
So they're driving. My cousin says, he gets to their house,
this car pulls up behind it.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
It's this woman's husband holding a tiny dog. She like
runs into my cousin's house and she's like.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Oh, he's tripping. He's tripping. He's tripping. And he's like, man,
what are you doing. You gotta come with me, We
gotta go home. This is this is too much the way.
That's the way I'm described.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
On home.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
My cousin was like, yo, they're just screaming in the
street at like three in the morning.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
This guy's got a miniature dog in his hand, and
he's like, look what you're doing. The CC is wildest ship.
And again I was like this this is one of
those stories too.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I could hear you're groan. Where if you told me
this story when I was to I'd be like, dude,
this shit is so fucking funny. As a forty one
year old adult, you're like, there is something seriously or something.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Going on where these people. Yeah, he's like worried about
her she's just like kind of off in one. Again.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
My cousin's trying to figure out is like is she
off on one or is he off on one? Because
she was like, I don't know, like he's tripping, he's tripping.
She's like she's going through an episode right now. And
I'm like, all because my cousin doesn't know how to
say no to people, Like all my cousins found themselves
mediating some kind of like spat in the middle of
the street at three am. And anyway, I was just
(07:35):
laughing so hard at this, and I just I think
it's important because we're we talk so much about how
like we get siloed off. I really should be talking
to my cousins a lot more. Like I'm I'm close
with them, but like I realize how much more I.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Want to be checking in with them because I love
them and be.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
There are like an infinite fountain of life experiences that
I'm just not gonna have anymore because like I've settled down,
I have, I have a family. Now, they're still out
in the streets, so like they are coming back with
just good old fashioned, you know, harmless, fucking stupid journeys
they go on so I guess all that is keeping
in touch with your family underrated, under.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Which I'm not. I'm not good. I need this underrated miles.
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Call your cousins. They're gonna they're gonna have some weird story.
I think a cousin story just hits differently because you
know them so well, and it's something as much like.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
This is exactly what happens.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
So when he said she got in the car, and
I'm like, and I go, of course he didn't say
no because I know him, and he's like, exactly. So
she's like swirling around the back of a fucking four
runner like just like.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Like shoe loosen a fucking washing machine.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah, and everyone's like and like my cousins, they were like, bro,
this isn't safe.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
They were like trying to be responded like reasonable, like
why is she coming to us? Yeah, He's like, I
want to go to sleep. And then this guy's like,
like what you're doing the CC.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
And it was just a whole event anyway, check in
with check in with them.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
They got so I like your hair or I like
your shirt, like can buy you anything in my but well,
first of all, it will make me be like never
throwing this shirt away. We're putting this shirt in the rotation.
It could be because you said that, Like the way
that she endeared herself to him was being like I
like your hair. Yeah yeah, yeah, he's I will not
(09:28):
get a haircut, or I'll wear that shirt wave dreads
and it could dreads. Oh, it's like that's it. That's like, yeah,
that's that's.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
What all white women say to Yeah, yeah, okay, like
I love your hair, yeah yeah. And then he turns
into the future and I'm just.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Wondering how many of the people have ever given me
a compliment that I've like taken deeply to heart. Had
been like having an episode.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I don't shave, I don't I don't shave my face.
That great because somebody told me that my shitty facial
hair is actually interesting.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah yeah it is. That's sick, sick. That's that guy
that you're the most interesting man in the world. Right yeah,
different bearded guy, different bearded. God, that's doesn't connect mean
some mystery, all right, my underrated How different our brains are. Like,
I was thinking about this researching Einstein for upcoming u
(10:21):
Icon's version of the show, and I just read this
article about affantasia. You know what this is, I think
we see, like it's some of the way you perceive things, right,
It's yeah, people who can't picture images in their brands. Oah,
so they don't have like image based memories. They don't
(10:44):
like if their eyes are closed, they're not seeing anything,
but they they live their lives like completely normally. So
this is the thing that was surprised, Like I can
believe like, oh, there's you know, all sorts of different
brains out there. Uh, there's also hyper fa antagic people
who have like very strong visual memories or imaginations that
(11:04):
like make their lives borderline unlivable because it's just like
reading about someone getting surgery without anesthesia is too much,
Like they feel that pain and then like can't forget it,
so they have to like watch what they take in
and uh, you know, reading novels is like too overwhelming
for them, whereas like people with afantasia like can't really
(11:27):
like they say they will just soap the prescriptive part. Yeah,
so this is the thing that blew my mind. So
they said that afantagic people like tend to be brilliant scientists,
hyperfantagic people artists, which like that's kind of what you'd expect.
The thing is, in all of these stories, they just
discovered that this was a thing, like in twenty sixteen,
(11:50):
and the people who don't have the ability to picture
images in their brain didn't know that it was weird.
They thought that we were all speaking in metaphors when
we were like, you know, picturing something in our mind.
They were like right right, Like they thought like it
was weird. Like reading the way this guy came to
(12:11):
the discovery, it was like a part in two thousand
and one Space Odyssey where like in the novel he's
talking about how like as he's like going through this thing,
like all these memories are like flooding back to him
and he's like, oh, so it's the alien technology that's
like doing that to him, like and then yeah, it
was just like some random newspaper column where a guy
(12:32):
was talking about like how time isn't real because you
can close your eyes and like go back and relive
something and like that. Like he was thirty five, like
a successful PhD. That's when he was like, oh, like
I might be different and like had to like call
his friends and be like, hey, so when you say
like you can like picture something in your mind? What
(12:54):
do you actually do you actually see stuff? And he
was like, whoa, what the fuck? Like talking with drugs again, Man,
you are right. Well that's so. That's the other thing
is that this article is a New Yorker profile, is
like it goes through all these people. It talks about
like how some of them have been able like all
(13:14):
of our sacks. I think that writer about psychology, very
popular writer who he didn't have the ability to like
picture images in his mind, and then he like took
a bunch of amphetamines at one point and was like
I could suddenly picture images in my mind for like
three seconds and then like it went away. And he
was like, and I don't recommend doing that for visuals. Yeah,
(13:38):
but I don't know. I I think we assume like that,
like those people who have had gone through their lives
not being able to picture anything and just thinking when
people are like I'm counting sheep in my mind. It
was like conceptual, like we assume everyone is more or
less like us in their minds until we are like
(14:00):
fronted by evidence otherwise. And that's so interesting. Like when
researching Einstein, I was like kept being like it feels
like this guy is constantly high. He's he's always like
forgetting shit, and uh, he's just he's like you know,
a person who is constantly stoned. But then like having
(14:20):
like these really like high ideas and like you could say,
like taking drugs is like trying on the ways other
people experience the world. Like I do wonder if people
are just like all on this like different continuum of
like ways you can experience the world. And like I've
had bad drug experiences that I'm like, oh, this is
probably what it feels like to be like X, Y
(14:42):
or Z. Yeah, yeah, just totally fucking racked by anxiety
all the time. Oh yeah, but yeah, it's it's a
really interesting article when they go up to it in
the footnotes. But I do think that that's a very
underrated aspect of just like human existence is, like our
minds are just built totally different and experience the world
(15:03):
in completely different ways. Like the people who are afantasic,
like are less likely to value retributive justice, I think,
or no, no, no, they're more likely to be like
anything like conceptual like an eye for an eye, whereas
like people who are hyper fantagic or like just any
suffering is like too much for them, you know what
(15:24):
I mean. So it's just it's interesting. It's this whole
like continuum that I didn't really understand. And then like
you of course, like where would you say you fall
on that spectrum? Like I feel like one thing that
they talked about was like people with auditory hyper fantasia,
who like they're like they wake up with like music
(15:46):
playing in their head. I was like, well, I have
like nineties rap song like before we started recording, I
was liked was saying apart from a Fuji song that
I hadn't heard in twenty years, Like, yeah, I think
I have like more auditory and then you know, I'm
pretty able to I don't know imagine images.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Definitely not I would say I'm Fantasia. You're Fantasia Pantasia
Bo Fantasia Fantao the American Idol winner or maybe she
was a runner up.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
No, I'm definitely.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I definitely have have like a very vivid memory recall,
like I can really see like where I'm at, Like
I can smell everything. I can engage all my senses
with memory pretty well. That makes sense, And yeah, I
mean like I definitely I don't know if it's empathy,
but like it is that is something I if I'm
seeing or.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Reading about pretty vivid suffering.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I don't it doesn't necessarily mean like it throws me,
but I think it's I think it's more empathy than anything.
I think more the visual kind of sensory sort of
memory stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I think more speaks to me than anything. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah, but it is funny, like I feel like all
the time we are, you know, like just learning. I'm like, oh,
I'm a visual learner, like even those different yeah, that
we have all these different ways that again like yeah,
I can't imagine maybe like fifty years they have even
more detail to be.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Like you are X, Y and Z. Like Brian in
the chat just said, what the fuck? Brian? Did you
say you were tactile auditory synesthetic? And I didn't know
until a couple of years ago. I assumed everyone could
feel sound.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
What does that mean? You could feel sound? Like the
bass is hidden in your accord?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
So I get physical sensations throughout my body that are
repeatable depending on like what I'm listening to, which I
just assume was normal. And I would talk to people
about it and they're like yeah, totally right, like because
it the way we talk about music, and I do
wonder how much of it is like language created by
(17:42):
somebody who has your ability, like has your type of brain,
and then we all just assume, Oh, they're just being
like descriptive and using poetic license, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah yeah. I'm
feeling the music too.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
I definitely have the I think the only only time
I get sensation is because certain songs are tied to
such a strong memory. Like I used to have this
one song I would play before job interviews to fucking
get like to get my mind like in the zone, okay,
because like the economy was bad, so you had to
treat these job interviews like fucking the super Bowl. When
(18:18):
I hear that stuff, like, I get like in a
like this sort of like a like a drenal response.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah yeah, I think again that might be more tied
to man speaking of the adrenal response, like they found
because this does all seem like mushing. You're like, oh,
you don't see images, but like they when they study
the people who like don't see images, they when you
tell them a scary story or they read a scary story.
Like they have no physical response, like when they're like
(18:44):
hooked up to systems and stuff like that, whereas like
the hyperfantagic people have like very strong physical response and
the rest of us, like you know, you experience fear,
and like they're just like unable to do that. But
then they're the same if you like show them a
scary movie because thees are like there in front of them.
So yeah, I just and it is interesting, Like I
(19:07):
think a lot of people are like, oh, this younger
generation is like, you know, over diagnosed, and they're obsessed
with like diagnosing themselves and they're different ways of processing
the world. But I think it it is like I
don't know, we I feel like we're just discovering how
many like different ways there are to experience the world.
(19:28):
And like past generations were just like yeah, I don't know, man, whatever,
And it is like really fucking interesting. It's like, oh.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Shit, dude, when we were kids, there were four kinds
of people nice, mean, smart or dumb.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Yeah, and that was it. Like I remember when they
invented introvert extrovert. I was like, yo, a new type
of person just dropped.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Oh my god, that's me whereas before it's like you
are nice and dumb. Yeah, it's like great, Miles is
mean and smart, Like okay, but.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I am interested in hearing from people, especially if like
you are just becoming aware of like the fact that
you're like somewhere on the spectrum or you have like
something like that happens the way of experiencing the world.
Because yet, like a lot of the shit, like a
lot of the people that they you know, interview who
are a fantasic, like found out about it through like
(20:21):
reading some random shit and just hearing someone describe actually
how their brain works right in their like thirties or forties,
and they're like, oh wait, what all right? Because when
I was a kid, there are only four kinds of people. Yeah,
all right, what's something Miles you think's overrated?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
My overrated is variety? Because okay, so the movie Christie came.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Out by some oh the industry, right, okay, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, sorry, sorry, so I'm too Hollywood right now, Variety magazine,
who's they've given us all kinds are really real nonsense.
But like the Sidney Sweeney movie Christie came out that
everyone's like this is universally being regarded as a bomb,
like a terrible one of the worst releases we've seen
for a big film.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yeah. Can I just read the details of that? Sure? Sure, yes, please?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah. So this, by the way, this is like an
Oscar play and some critics were like, she's actually really good.
She might like be a good actor. But you know,
it's a It's at a sixty on metacritics, so not
enough for it to be like it's an Oscar front Runner.
And they released it wide to over two thousand theaters,
so it's not like they did a slow, you know,
(21:30):
art house rollout. And it made one point three million
dollars across two thousand theaters for a per theater average
of six hundred and forty nine dollars, which puts it
among the top ten worst openings for a new release.
Three of the films below it were released during the pandemic,
so it's pretty yeah, not good. Not good.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Okay, So someone on Reddit just juxtaposed the two Variety. First,
I just want to read what Variety said when fucking
Sinners came out.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Okay, yeah, this is this is their description.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Sinners is a mass sixty one million dollars in its
global debut. It's a great result for an original R
rated horror film. Yet the Warner Brothers release has a
ninety million dollars price tag before global marketing expenses, so
profitability remains a ways away.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Mm hmmm, nice dry asshole. Oh remember feel pretty good? Exactly?
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Remember everything Jack just said about Christie coming out and
being an absolute wet fart. Okay, this is what Variety
said about Christy Christy featuring Sweeney as the boxing trail
blazer Christy Martin debut with one point three million dollars.
The rrated sports drama is the first theatrical release from
Black Bear Pictures. That's ay, the most neutral swish they went.
They broke their backs to fucking pedantic about marketing budgets
(22:48):
when it's clear the trajectory of Sinners was more than
able to fucking reopen its money and then some.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
And then this is like a surprise, a like doubled
people's expectations its first weekend, which is they were writing
about it, and then proceeded to like just continue to
dominate the box office. So they looked like fucking idiots.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Like and right away I think that I think is
interesting too, is like a lot of there's always discourse
about like you go, they went woke and they went broke,
but like you know, see Uile Sweeney really leaned into
that denim ad okay, and people were like, yeah, look
what happened bro, Like hey, people, I think the wave
is crest is crested a bit for Sydney Sweeney in
terms of like box office magnetism, but.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Like also like dropping some fucking hot garbage on us,
Like it is just like things that I I don't know.
I can't say the movie is uh good or bad.
I can say like the marketing around the movies is
like why no, nobody's gonna see either of these things, Like.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yeah, they're pointing like her last three films, Christy, Americana
and Eden were not not great returns, but anyway more
than anything, variety, fucking.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Get your shit together, Like don't be this, don't be
this obviously biased.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
But again I don't know what I expect from any
kind of industry rag. But it's just funny how they
were like, oh poor. It's like that Gordon Ramsey meme
where it's like when a black person puts out a
moviees like you idiot, and it's like when a white
woman has a movie flopped, You're like, oh, come here,
you poor baby.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Right hey, it made one point three million dollars, So that'thing.
I don't know what else. How much did you make
this weekend? Did you make one point three million dollars?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Could you get some because you get people to pay
six hundred dollars on a screen.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
For you out it? I overrated really briefly, just the
the cleanliness of my socks. At the end of the day.
We live in a shoe free house. We went over
to friends who also have a shoe free house, and
I think I had to like step outside in the
back or something in my socks because I got in
(24:53):
there looked down. I had to like check the bottoms
of my socks, you know, like and I'm not saying
it's like stinky bat, but like just like what it
looks like. I checked. I checked the bottom of my feet,
like uh Anton sugar at the end of the No Country,
and it was it was whack. It was. It was
dark down there, and and so I had to keep
(25:15):
thee keep the feet flat on the ground the whole
uh yeah, not crossing the leg, yeah, not not crossing
the the leg wanted to cross, but I was just
I stayed in a in a crouched athletic position the
whole night.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Well, but how do you have a shoe free house
in your socks are looking like a fucking used swifter path.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
I think I stepped outside. I think I stepped. Are
you protecting this other family? Jack? Because that could have
been their filthy floor. It was as I was taking
the shoes off, I checked the bottom of my socks.
So it's your house. I don't know what it is somebody.
I just need to, you know what. Also, like, I
think I need to switch out my socks more often,
(25:56):
you know, because I'll just hang onto them until they're
holes in them.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
So okay, So now you're saying these are this is
legacy dirt on an old sock or this is no
accumulated dirt.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Entirely possible is legacy dirt? Wow? So I've never gotten
more judgment from uh An override. I mean, look, so
your socks at the bottom of your socks are perfectly.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I'm cleaning it down for Asian households. You got a
shoe this house, and I've been to your house. My
socks aren't looking like that at your house. Right, so
now I'm worried about what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. I think the back
deck of my house, like the back porch, is pretty
dirty and I walk out there, and I think that's
also the message that I need like house shoes, you.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Know, I need exactly exactly. I I have anxiety when
I step out in my socks. Sometimes I'm like, they're
about to get fucked up, and it used them like whatever,
fuck it.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I'm they're gonna get dirty or whatever.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
But that's why you got to have the strategically placed
slippers househoes at the threat hold so you can go
outside and keep your socks clean.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
That's right, and that and that that is my lesson
that I've learned again yet again on this episode, and
I learned it this weekend. Let's take a quick break
and we'll come back and talk about Donald Trump nodding
off in the Oval Office and other stuff. And we're back.
(27:29):
We're back, baby. All right. Let's talk about that Doctor
Oz meeting at the Oval Office. It happened on Thursday,
so it was after our last recording last week. Uh,
doctor Oz, was you know that they were basically being
like Americans think things are bad. Oh yeah, well, we're
making weight loss drugs more affordable for people as people
(27:54):
try to are worried about feeding themselves. We're uh, you know,
making it possible for you to not want to eat
quite as much. Maybe that's their solution. Maybe that was
their solution. They're like, need snap benefits. What about uh
this weight weight loss drug that my millionaire?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
How about this, We'll give big Pharma a big check
and you won't eat as much, so you may not
you might not notice your food benefits.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Being that I was just like blathering on about fat
phobic weight loss nonsense.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Did you hear what he said about the number of
pounds Americans we're gonna lose? No, that that fucking thing
he said Americans or could lose up to one hundred
and thirty five billion pounds by the mid term elections.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Wow? Yeah, yeah, think about that from electoral perspective. Yep, dude,
do we count votes by weight? We don't? Right?
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I again, so stupid, like you think that's a thing
to hang your hat on for people. Well, I mean obviously,
like in this Trump administration, they got American to lose
one hundred thirty five billion pounds after making a deal
with two pharmaceutical companies to get GLP one medications on
the market.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Anyway, but so brand et Or points out, we'll be
counting our money by weight. Could be seriously yeah right. Anyways,
he's given this speech and Trump clearly fell asleep hard hard,
like not yeah, not like what's going on. He just
(29:25):
like blinked for a long time he was out, which,
to be fair, falling asleep while listening to doctor Oz
is what most seventy nine year olds have been doing
for like the past couple of days. Yeah, yeah, right,
it's kind of the what he should be doing at
this point. Weirdly, he reportedly fell asleep after doctor Oz
(29:46):
said the words people can sleep again. So was like
a hypnos hit situation. It hit him.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I mean the way he was sleeping with his chin up,
it looked like he was playing organ or like in
a rock band, and he was hitting beautiful for going.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
To turn it into yeah, a rock band thing like
the Oswald getting shot. Yeah, yeah, exactly, the Ruby Jack
Ruby the great memes? Is he the most hypnotizable person
of all time? Like what if if it had been
a press conference about like the food supply chain, would
he have like started clucking like a chicken. It's hard
(30:22):
to say defenses, So yeah, I will also say because
I do think Donald Trump, like it is rumored to
be on these weight loss drugs. And my unofficial take
is that the people I've seen who have lost a
lot of weight on these drugs always look so tired.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
M m.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
You know, it like suppresses your appetite, so you're like
getting less food and energy than you did before. I
feel like they're always so Sleepy's just does cocaine, I
think tof set that. Yeah, yeah, so you gotta do that.
That's the other where are you working with the cartels? Anyways?
After Trump kind of fell asleep, he was back up
(31:03):
and Adam standing up at his desk getting ready for
a photo opportunity I think, and a company rep from
like one of the pharmaceutical companies that they'd like made
a deal with randomly like passed out, which was is
there a fucking gas leak in there? What? What the
fuck is happening? Just calling out all over the place.
(31:24):
He looked he looked like if you lined as fuck.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yeah, if you say line them all up and you
you tell me which one of these dudes is going
to pass out?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I would have I would have picked that dude. Yeah,
he looked wobbly. That would be just like a good
thing to take odds on, take money on who's going
to pass out on this oval. I told you about
how my friends would like sit around if we were
like at dinner and take money on who from a
(31:53):
neighboring table was going to stand up last? Oh wow,
like do an NBA ref type ship.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Like that?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Which of these old people is gonna fall out? First?
Mini action? Okay, yeah, yeah, I'll do that. I'll take that.
But uh yeah, So he passed out, and then we
got two amazing reactions from Donald Trump and r f
K Junior. The guy falls out. Doctor Oz goes to
be like, hey are you I'm a doctor. I'm a doctor.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
R f K.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Bolts look at him. He sees that ship.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
He's a oh hell no, I ain't. Yeah, he got
out of there like he poisoned the guy. Yeah, Like
he he's like, all right, that ship hit, Okay, I'm
out of here.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
I wonder if he weird, like I can't, I can't
do you see the one who's like, he's like, where
the funk you going? R f K like he watches
him and he's like, hey, where the fuck? Uh? All
right happened? I mean I think he I think he
just has total flight response. That's it.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Like I think he's just not and look at look
at Trump the way he's just like watching it.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
I wonder if he was like, here we go, take
me home too? Is it time? Is it the rapture?
Is he the one due just did? Or yeah? Me? Fuck?
Where am I? Where am I? I took a nap? Oh?
Fuck fuck fuck yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
I mean it's funny to see doctor Oz actually be
a doctor. And I was like, oh, okay, he's like
going like, oh, this person's need. But the way RFK
cuts the fuck out is kinda I mean, I don't know,
I gotta credit him. He he wants nothing to do
with helping anyone at all.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
It is like just shamelessly, uh cowardly and like fucked up. Yeah,
he's just like I'm fucking out of here. Not even
morbid curiosity like a child, what happened? Why is that
guy laying down? Oh? Couldn't be me? Shoden Freuden full effect,
He's like fuck this just constantly scared, Like I wonder
(33:53):
if he's just you know, any anytime there's any sickness
around him or anything like that, he's just because he
knows he knows what those vaccines do.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
You know.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Yeah, I mean I wonder if it's just maybe he
just knows about cameras. He's like they're about to take
a bunch of pictures, because if you think about it,
Trump basically got like one of the best worst photos
of this administration was taken during this where there's a
man collapsed on the ground.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Everybody's looking at the man, like huddled over the man,
and then Donald Trump is just facing the cameras with
his like hands out in front of him and that weird,
like kind of zombie pose that he does.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Yeah, exactly, can't put him in his pockets, just looking
into the middle distance while someone.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
The guy the one dude's holding the dude's ankles up. Yeah, yeah,
but you didn't trying to get his blood circulating back.
I was like, this is such a whatever.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
I mean, it's the perfect look and a thousand memes
were launched from it.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
For all you know, there's a guy dying four feet
to the left of him, and he just decides to
like pose like a grade school spelling contestant.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Yeah, b E D bed Okay, sir, giraffe lion monkey, Yes,
I did it.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
The IQ test is complete. Yeah, the draft one. The
White House is of course denied that Trump was sleeping
at all. He was answering questions at various points, just
not the points at which he was Clearly.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
They're going to get mad at these photographers. Uh huh
who got him in four k?
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Again?
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Unless my man is doing a Billy Preston impersonation and
he's at that organ playing, that's the way God planned.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
It, That's the way God want it to be.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Yay, Hey, no, you're fucking asleep. But again, you are
seventy nine years old. You are old. You are this
is what we would expect from a seventy nine year old. Yes, yeah,
so I don't know everything, Like everything you read now
is just about denial of reality around him, Like you know,
like the when he was asked about affordability, he got
(35:55):
mad because they're pointing out nothing, the prices have gone up,
and he's like, it's a con. The Democrats are on
this affordability con now, and a lot of people are like,
this is a this is like one of the few
things as a politician you can't really fuck around with
because the people go through the stores and see the
prices that they pay, you can't then call that a con.
(36:18):
And now like all the Republicans around him are like
kind of forced to like not acknowledge a lot of
the fucking bad realities because, like we've said this, he
just he is an old seventeen about to be octogenarian toddler.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
And yeah, they're gonna talk about it's episode, but it
it really feels like we're in the Emperor's New Clothes
type shit where he's just yeah, it's it's just he's
fully insulated and he kind of likes it like that,
you know. Oh yeah, he's just like gonna it's gonna
put in the new director of statistics to just like
make the statistics that he wants. I mean maybe that
(36:53):
if he's going to break the electoral process, then I
guess it'll make sense.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Yeah yeah, yeah, But clearly he's he's only now thinking
about how he's gonna fuck the mid terms over. And
I'm sure Project twenty twenty five has a plan for
that too. But the same thing that happened with Biden,
Like you want to go and ignore inflation and corporate
greed and act like like, oh, it's we're getting it
under control. People fucking notice every day that they can't
(37:20):
afford shit and you can't like you have to do
something about that, or like look what happened last Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Yeah, that's right. All right, let's take a quick break
and we'll come back and talk about Kim Kardashian and
the shutdown being over. And we're back, and we've been
(37:48):
We've been keeping close tabs on Kim Kardashians.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Dude, I tried watching the show did you over the weekend? Wow,
It's it's surreal. It's like not good, it's surreal. It
feels like not a real thing like they.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Were trying to do, Like it's a show inside a show.
It's a show on thirty Rock that like, yeah, Jenna
would be.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
On not even then, Like that even has a bit
of like fun to it. I'm like it's directed really weird.
Glenn Close's acting isn't great because like the whole situation
is just so bad. The pace of the dialogue is
really weirds so interesting anyway, Like I was just like
I was like, yes, wait, I need to just see it.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
I couldn't get through the first five minutes.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
I was like, yeah, it's fucking weird and it's not
even fun bad Like I wanted to be like, let's
get let's have a laugh.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
I was like, oh man, oh oh no, no, I can't.
I don't even know how to follow this right now?
Speaker 3 (38:48):
Right?
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Yeah? Anyway, did she do okay on her bar exam?
She might not play a convincing lawyer on TV, but
in real life, yeah, we're all just waiting on the
edge of our seats to see if we can hire
her for our latest lawsuit that we bring against Kroger
for prices or you know whatever. Yeah, the All's Fair
(39:09):
star just revealed on Instagram that she didn't pass the
exam the start, just a week after she admitted to
using chat gpt to cheat on her law exams, and
some people think that even her statement about not passing
the bar was written by chat GPT. Well, I'm not
(39:32):
a lawyer yet, I just play a very well dressed
one on TV. Six years into this law journey and
I'm still all in until I passed the bar. No shortcuts,
no giving up m dash, just more studying and even
more determination. No shortcuts.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
I'm using a large language model to write this to study.
I've gone on record saying I'm yelling at a large
language model for hallucinating and.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Why did you make me fail?
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Oh my god? Okay, well, hey, you know, I'm glad
we're all the story.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
She keeps failing her exams because she's using chat gybt
to study, and the chat gypt is like giving her
made up answers, because that's what chetchypt does. It's just
like a robotic yes man, and it will make up
bullshit cases just to like this. This is the first
shortcoming that we found out about, as like lawyers submitting
(40:31):
work to a judge and the judge being like, so
these cases that you're citing don't exist, they were made up.
And yeah, she's trying to use it to study for
the bar. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
and then and then yell at it, being like, why
did you do that to me?
Speaker 3 (40:49):
Chet Gpt, Well, because you studied with the computer equivalent
of a man that won't admit they don't know anything
and has to say something even if it's wrong. So look, hey,
six years, here's to another six, Kim, let's get it done.
Let's knuckle down. Okay, let's fucking lock in. That's what
all the young people are doing. They're locking in right now.
(41:10):
Let's lock in too, lock in, Bro, Yeah, they're getting
locked in. Bro was so close to passing the examine.
That only motivated me even more.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Let's go exclamation point. Isn't failure, m dash, it's fuel.
Uh yeah, Peter Twinklice pointed out, was crust stock musing
chat gpt you brainless seasons all right? Uhcotis is there
(41:40):
something wrong? You've hardly touched your gay marriage equality.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
Yeah, you've hardly dismantled gay marriage equality. So yeah, Monday
they turned down a request to consider overturning oberg Fell
because great.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
They just without comment.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
No, they were just like, yeah, Kim okay, So Kim
Davis if you remember she was that remember work, who
was like, God has told me I cannot I cannot
certify this marriage because of my Christianity. So people were like, sorry,
you work for the government, so fuck your both. Like
you just as a person working for the government, you're
not allowed to discriminate.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
That's just it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
So the reason this a lot of people are like
the way the case as it was really probably wasn't
going to pose that much of a threat to overtfeld
because of the state.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
That it's in.
Speaker 3 (42:26):
Because what happened was this couple sued her for not
certifying their marriage and they got damages in like three
hundred and sixty thousand in like lawyers fees, and she's
been fighting that award to try and push back, and
so she was trying to go to the Supreme Court
and be like, actually, you should just overturn this whole
thing so I don't have to pay this fine that
I got or this judgment that happened to me back
(42:46):
in Kentucky. So a lot of court people were like,
this wasn't going to be the case that the Supreme
Court was going to use to absolutely gut marriage, right,
So they're like, it's safe for now, because clearly there
are people who who are open to the idea of
completely inverting people's rights like that. But for this one,
they're like, sorry, this case, this was kind of garbage. Uh,
(43:09):
and we are we're kind of pretending we're not totally
in the fucking shitter for the MAGA movement, So a
no on this one.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
So yeah, KNOWE for me, doug and finally the shutdown
is over. The Senate advanced the funding bill after eight
Democrats joined the GOP, ending the shutdown, but in return
they got fuck all. They got that. How you pronounce that?
Speaker 3 (43:32):
Yeah for call fuckaluck fuck all?
Speaker 1 (43:36):
Yes, yes, yes, yes yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
They were like, they're the biggest fucking thing they were pushing.
We need these healthcare subsidies to be extended. We're not
doing shit. Look at the fucking l's you guys just
took on the election. Look at the polling. Everyone is
blaming you.
Speaker 1 (43:54):
Even though the.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Democrats initiated the shutdown, they are blaming you. The prices
are going up, the fucking play aren't flying on time.
People are not getting their jobs, they're getting late, or
their money they're getting.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
Late, becoming more and more unpopular as this, as this happens, yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
One hundred and they're like, okay, fine, we'll do it
for no guarantee that the Obamacare subsidies will be extended.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
They're just gonna get a vote. It's really inconceivable, Like
can I can't. My only guess is that they were
like scared or like felt insecure about the latest momentum
from more progressive politics, and like the younger side of
(44:39):
the party and we're like, we're gonna fucking make sure
that everybody knows this party still sucks shit, still in
an establishment as fuck.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
I mean, yeah, I think this is a real healthy
reminder that these people in the like the Democrats that
have been in office, they all need to go. Yeah,
these people are not serious, are going to lose their healthcare.
They already can't afford their healthcare. Uh, and you have
no spine and every every Democrats like they're like, what
(45:10):
the fuck we have them against the wall. Yeah, Like,
and you can deliver for people by actually doing something.
And I think the logic out of these eight senators
who we absolutely should name and shame, Catherine Cortez Masto,
Dick durb Dick Durbin, John John Fetterman, Matcay Wait a second, yeah,
Tim Kain, Angus King.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
Who's independent, Tim Kaine, Massive Kind.
Speaker 3 (45:34):
Jackie Rosen, and Jean Shaheen. Yeah, these are the people
who they're sort of logic was like, we don't we
want to get snap funded, we want to get federal
workers paid. We don't want them to like nuke the
filibuster and then start doing all these voter suppression things
they had, like they had all these reasons, which I
get that's commendable, but given what we've heard from people
(45:56):
being like, I'm a federal worker, but I absolutely want
you to keep fucking fighting this fight for us. And
I get it, like you're probably they're all hearing different
things from different you know, from their constituents, but this
was such a huge moment that predictably was completely blown
by these people. So I mean, I'm I'm not shocked,
(46:17):
but again, a good reminder that so many of these people,
they're all coming off the same tree, you know.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
Is it really just that Trump kept threatening to do
worse and worse shit to his hostages aka the American people,
and then like not pay them, not allow them to eat,
and the Democrats were like, we got them to agree
to not starve them.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
Yeah, that's one version, and try and act like they're
the adults in the room because they you know, they're like, well,
we caved and we came to the table. But I
think it's infuriating given what this administration is doing, and
you know, like part of mounting a good defense an
opposition is to show like if your opponent is not
(46:57):
playing the same game. Then you certainly can't play this
game you've been playing, right, and it's going to be
the same thing of like, well, we're just gonna let them,
They're going to.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
Just hang themselves on their own policies. No, you need
to fucking fight.
Speaker 3 (47:10):
And you know, I think this all these people need
to be primaried, and I think people can't forget that
this is actually what the demo, this is really what
the Democratic Party is. Forget all the feel good ship
from last Tuesday. This is this is what it is like.
They're not seals.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
They're out of power until the Old Guard is out
of power. This is what it is. Yeah, yeah, all right,
on that happy note. Those are the stories that are
trending on this one day morning. We're back. But hey,
Kim Kardashian still not a lawyer? Can last on that
the great lock in has begun? Lock In?
Speaker 3 (47:44):
I'm willing to help you. I'm a human. I'm better
than chat GPT. Okay maybe yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
Yeah, i'd Sam, I'd Sam. You're an amazing legal mind.
Oh my god, oh my god, Jack, you wouldn't believe.
All right, We're back tomorrow with the whole last episode
of the show. Until then, be kind to each other,
be kind to yourselves, get your vaccines, well you still
can't get your flu shots. Don't do nothing about white supremacy,
and we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye bye.

just too much of a coward. Here.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Put this cloak on so you don't get any gunshot
residual if they test you. I just want to make
sure there's no Actually, come into my garage. I set
up a dexter room in there. It's all my finger.
It's all my finger. Just press this button, dude, to
blow my house up. I don't even care.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Dude. Hello the Internet, and welcome to this trend edition
of that guy. Yeah, give me a little more amorous tonight.
And yeah, my name is Jack O'Brien. That over there's
(02:11):
Miles Gray. This is the Monday Morning episode where we
tell you what is trending, what happened over the weekend
was trending this morning. But first, Miles, we do like
to allow them in, don't you know, come into our homes?
No them in. No, they seem nice. And I like
(02:32):
the little I like the acappella bluegrass song that they're singing.
All right, this is cool. This is a hYP new sound. Yeah,
I kind of like this, Come on, is that? What
is that? A Civil war march from the South and
the white people seem cool? Look at the look at
those little Irish dances they're doing. All right, I'll stop
(02:53):
referencing sinners. Although we will talk about centers a little
bit later, we will, I will myles first. We like
to let our listeners get to know us a little
bit better by doing an underrated overrated. Of course during
our show we have the guests do them, but hey,
we got we got opinions too.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
This is our show too. Goddamn, this is my show.
God damn it. And guess what. My mom didn't want
to hear my overrated or underrated this weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
So this is where I do him try every weekend. Yeah,
she's always gonna be like, you know what are you
about to try out and overrage? Underrated? Mom? What's something?
I go, Mom, what's the mean thing? Is overrated? It's
is overrated? None? And I'm like, what's something?
Speaker 3 (03:32):
Never mind, you're not good at being a podcast guest.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Oh you're always against me, mom? Could you imagine if
that's just how we were in our day to day life. Hey,
nice to meet you. What's something? He thinks overrated and
wants something he thinks underrated. Hey, let me get a
little at your phone. I want to see your search.
I am sorry.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Your son is acting out in school. That's why you're here, sir.
All right, so his behavior down doing?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Overrated? Underrated? What do you think is overrated about his baby? Underrated?
How hard he pushes the kids right where?
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Right?
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I didn't I didn't think that kid had that strength.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
He's lift in weights, not like heavy, just soup cans
for now, I'm I try to stunt his growth or
anything you think is underrated underrated. This is so specific
to just my life, but just stories from your cousins.
I've got some fucking wacky cousins. Like they I have
(04:26):
interesting shit going on. My cousins have just they're much
more interesting character type people. They're like adult swim characters.
And my one cousin recently got married, so her majesty
and I we took my cousin and his and his
wife out for dinner and we were just catching up
and I was like, Yo, what's up with cam and this?
(04:48):
I don't know how to describe my cousin. He just
has this energy where he gets swept up in weird
situations and like cross his paths with the weirdest people.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
So I was like, what's up with him.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
He's like, dude, the other night on Halloween, we go
to this bar and like we were watching the Dodger game,
closed out the bar, we're leaving, and then randomly he like,
lets this very inebriated woman just jump in the car,
like we don't even have an extra seat for this woman.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
And she's like, she's like, hey.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
He said, it's cool if I come with you guys,
and they're like, dude, we're going home.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
What where do you live.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
She's like it doesn't matter. I'm gonna figure it out.
I just need to get out of here.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
Let's go. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
And my cousin Cam, he's like a nice guy, but
he's also kind of quirky, so he just doesn't have
the heart to be like, bro, you can't cut Like no,
what he said, there's also there's not even for you.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
I think that's all because she was like she was
like I like your hair or some shit like that.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Just some positive.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Attention that he got, and he's like, yeah, sure, this
isn't red Flag City Hop in our car. You're geeked up,
like a like, who fucking like the Dodgers just won
the fucking World Series.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
So they're driving. My cousin says, he gets to their house,
this car pulls up behind it.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
It's this woman's husband holding a tiny dog. She like
runs into my cousin's house and she's like.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
Oh, he's tripping. He's tripping. He's tripping. And he's like, man,
what are you doing. You gotta come with me, We
gotta go home. This is this is too much the way.
That's the way I'm described.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
On home.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
What are you doing?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
My cousin was like, yo, they're just screaming in the
street at like three in the morning.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
This guy's got a miniature dog in his hand, and
he's like, look what you're doing. The CC is wildest ship.
And again I was like this this is one of
those stories too.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I could hear you're groan. Where if you told me
this story when I was to I'd be like, dude,
this shit is so fucking funny. As a forty one
year old adult, you're like, there is something seriously or something.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Going on where these people. Yeah, he's like worried about
her she's just like kind of off in one. Again.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
My cousin's trying to figure out is like is she
off on one or is he off on one? Because
she was like, I don't know, like he's tripping, he's tripping.
She's like she's going through an episode right now. And
I'm like, all because my cousin doesn't know how to
say no to people, Like all my cousins found themselves
mediating some kind of like spat in the middle of
the street at three am. And anyway, I was just
(07:35):
laughing so hard at this, and I just I think
it's important because we're we talk so much about how
like we get siloed off. I really should be talking
to my cousins a lot more. Like I'm I'm close
with them, but like I realize how much more I.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Want to be checking in with them because I love
them and be.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
There are like an infinite fountain of life experiences that
I'm just not gonna have anymore because like I've settled down,
I have, I have a family. Now, they're still out
in the streets, so like they are coming back with
just good old fashioned, you know, harmless, fucking stupid journeys
they go on so I guess all that is keeping
in touch with your family underrated, under.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Which I'm not. I'm not good. I need this underrated miles.
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Call your cousins. They're gonna they're gonna have some weird story.
I think a cousin story just hits differently because you
know them so well, and it's something as much like.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
This is exactly what happens.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
So when he said she got in the car, and
I'm like, and I go, of course he didn't say
no because I know him, and he's like, exactly. So
she's like swirling around the back of a fucking four
runner like just like.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Like shoe loosen a fucking washing machine.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Yeah, and everyone's like and like my cousins, they were like, bro,
this isn't safe.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
They were like trying to be responded like reasonable, like
why is she coming to us? Yeah, He's like, I
want to go to sleep. And then this guy's like,
like what you're doing the CC.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
And it was just a whole event anyway, check in
with check in with them.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
They got so I like your hair or I like
your shirt, like can buy you anything in my but well,
first of all, it will make me be like never
throwing this shirt away. We're putting this shirt in the rotation.
It could be because you said that, Like the way
that she endeared herself to him was being like I
like your hair. Yeah yeah, yeah, he's I will not
(09:28):
get a haircut, or I'll wear that shirt wave dreads
and it could dreads. Oh, it's like that's it. That's like, yeah,
that's that's.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
What all white women say to Yeah, yeah, okay, like
I love your hair, yeah yeah. And then he turns
into the future and I'm just.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Wondering how many of the people have ever given me
a compliment that I've like taken deeply to heart. Had
been like having an episode.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I don't shave, I don't I don't shave my face.
That great because somebody told me that my shitty facial
hair is actually interesting.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah yeah it is. That's sick, sick. That's that guy
that you're the most interesting man in the world. Right yeah,
different bearded guy, different bearded. God, that's doesn't connect mean
some mystery, all right, my underrated How different our brains are. Like,
I was thinking about this researching Einstein for upcoming u
(10:21):
Icon's version of the show, and I just read this
article about affantasia. You know what this is, I think
we see, like it's some of the way you perceive things, right,
It's yeah, people who can't picture images in their brands. Oah,
so they don't have like image based memories. They don't
(10:44):
like if their eyes are closed, they're not seeing anything,
but they they live their lives like completely normally. So
this is the thing that was surprised, Like I can
believe like, oh, there's you know, all sorts of different
brains out there. Uh, there's also hyper fa antagic people
who have like very strong visual memories or imaginations that
(11:04):
like make their lives borderline unlivable because it's just like
reading about someone getting surgery without anesthesia is too much,
Like they feel that pain and then like can't forget it,
so they have to like watch what they take in
and uh, you know, reading novels is like too overwhelming
for them, whereas like people with afantasia like can't really
(11:27):
like they say they will just soap the prescriptive part. Yeah,
so this is the thing that blew my mind. So
they said that afantagic people like tend to be brilliant scientists,
hyperfantagic people artists, which like that's kind of what you'd expect.
The thing is, in all of these stories, they just
discovered that this was a thing, like in twenty sixteen,
(11:50):
and the people who don't have the ability to picture
images in their brain didn't know that it was weird.
They thought that we were all speaking in metaphors when
we were like, you know, picturing something in our mind.
They were like right right, Like they thought like it
was weird. Like reading the way this guy came to
(12:11):
the discovery, it was like a part in two thousand
and one Space Odyssey where like in the novel he's
talking about how like as he's like going through this thing,
like all these memories are like flooding back to him
and he's like, oh, so it's the alien technology that's
like doing that to him, like and then yeah, it
was just like some random newspaper column where a guy
(12:32):
was talking about like how time isn't real because you
can close your eyes and like go back and relive
something and like that. Like he was thirty five, like
a successful PhD. That's when he was like, oh, like
I might be different and like had to like call
his friends and be like, hey, so when you say
like you can like picture something in your mind? What
(12:54):
do you actually do you actually see stuff? And he
was like, whoa, what the fuck? Like talking with drugs again, Man,
you are right. Well that's so. That's the other thing
is that this article is a New Yorker profile, is
like it goes through all these people. It talks about
like how some of them have been able like all
(13:14):
of our sacks. I think that writer about psychology, very
popular writer who he didn't have the ability to like
picture images in his mind, and then he like took
a bunch of amphetamines at one point and was like
I could suddenly picture images in my mind for like
three seconds and then like it went away. And he
was like, and I don't recommend doing that for visuals. Yeah,
(13:38):
but I don't know. I I think we assume like that,
like those people who have had gone through their lives
not being able to picture anything and just thinking when
people are like I'm counting sheep in my mind. It
was like conceptual, like we assume everyone is more or
less like us in their minds until we are like
(14:00):
fronted by evidence otherwise. And that's so interesting. Like when
researching Einstein, I was like kept being like it feels
like this guy is constantly high. He's he's always like
forgetting shit, and uh, he's just he's like you know,
a person who is constantly stoned. But then like having
(14:20):
like these really like high ideas and like you could say,
like taking drugs is like trying on the ways other
people experience the world. Like I do wonder if people
are just like all on this like different continuum of
like ways you can experience the world. And like I've
had bad drug experiences that I'm like, oh, this is
probably what it feels like to be like X, Y
(14:42):
or Z. Yeah, yeah, just totally fucking racked by anxiety
all the time. Oh yeah, but yeah, it's it's a
really interesting article when they go up to it in
the footnotes. But I do think that that's a very
underrated aspect of just like human existence is, like our
minds are just built totally different and experience the world
(15:03):
in completely different ways. Like the people who are afantasic,
like are less likely to value retributive justice, I think,
or no, no, no, they're more likely to be like
anything like conceptual like an eye for an eye, whereas
like people who are hyper fantagic or like just any
suffering is like too much for them, you know what
(15:24):
I mean. So it's just it's interesting. It's this whole
like continuum that I didn't really understand. And then like
you of course, like where would you say you fall
on that spectrum? Like I feel like one thing that
they talked about was like people with auditory hyper fantasia,
who like they're like they wake up with like music
(15:46):
playing in their head. I was like, well, I have
like nineties rap song like before we started recording, I
was liked was saying apart from a Fuji song that
I hadn't heard in twenty years, Like, yeah, I think
I have like more auditory and then you know, I'm
pretty able to I don't know imagine images.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
Definitely not I would say I'm Fantasia. You're Fantasia Pantasia
Bo Fantasia Fantao the American Idol winner or maybe she
was a runner up.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
No, I'm definitely.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I definitely have have like a very vivid memory recall,
like I can really see like where I'm at, Like
I can smell everything. I can engage all my senses
with memory pretty well. That makes sense, And yeah, I
mean like I definitely I don't know if it's empathy,
but like it is that is something I if I'm
seeing or.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Reading about pretty vivid suffering.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I don't it doesn't necessarily mean like it throws me,
but I think it's I think it's more empathy than anything.
I think more the visual kind of sensory sort of
memory stuff.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I think more speaks to me than anything. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah, but it is funny, like I feel like all
the time we are, you know, like just learning. I'm like, oh,
I'm a visual learner, like even those different yeah, that
we have all these different ways that again like yeah,
I can't imagine maybe like fifty years they have even
more detail to be.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Like you are X, Y and Z. Like Brian in
the chat just said, what the fuck? Brian? Did you
say you were tactile auditory synesthetic? And I didn't know
until a couple of years ago. I assumed everyone could
feel sound.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
What does that mean? You could feel sound? Like the
bass is hidden in your accord?
Speaker 4 (17:22):
So I get physical sensations throughout my body that are
repeatable depending on like what I'm listening to, which I
just assume was normal. And I would talk to people
about it and they're like yeah, totally right, like because
it the way we talk about music, and I do
wonder how much of it is like language created by
(17:42):
somebody who has your ability, like has your type of brain,
and then we all just assume, Oh, they're just being
like descriptive and using poetic license, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah yeah. I'm
feeling the music too.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
I definitely have the I think the only only time
I get sensation is because certain songs are tied to
such a strong memory. Like I used to have this
one song I would play before job interviews to fucking
get like to get my mind like in the zone, okay,
because like the economy was bad, so you had to
treat these job interviews like fucking the super Bowl. When
(18:18):
I hear that stuff, like, I get like in a
like this sort of like a like a drenal response.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah yeah, I think again that might be more tied
to man speaking of the adrenal response, like they found
because this does all seem like mushing. You're like, oh,
you don't see images, but like they when they study
the people who like don't see images, they when you
tell them a scary story or they read a scary story.
Like they have no physical response, like when they're like
(18:44):
hooked up to systems and stuff like that, whereas like
the hyperfantagic people have like very strong physical response and
the rest of us, like you know, you experience fear,
and like they're just like unable to do that. But
then they're the same if you like show them a
scary movie because thees are like there in front of them.
So yeah, I just and it is interesting, Like I
(19:07):
think a lot of people are like, oh, this younger
generation is like, you know, over diagnosed, and they're obsessed
with like diagnosing themselves and they're different ways of processing
the world. But I think it it is like I
don't know, we I feel like we're just discovering how
many like different ways there are to experience the world.
(19:28):
And like past generations were just like yeah, I don't know, man, whatever,
And it is like really fucking interesting. It's like, oh.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Shit, dude, when we were kids, there were four kinds
of people nice, mean, smart or dumb.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Yeah, and that was it. Like I remember when they
invented introvert extrovert. I was like, yo, a new type
of person just dropped.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Oh my god, that's me whereas before it's like you
are nice and dumb. Yeah, it's like great, Miles is
mean and smart, Like okay, but.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I am interested in hearing from people, especially if like
you are just becoming aware of like the fact that
you're like somewhere on the spectrum or you have like
something like that happens the way of experiencing the world.
Because yet, like a lot of the shit, like a
lot of the people that they you know, interview who
are a fantasic, like found out about it through like
(20:21):
reading some random shit and just hearing someone describe actually
how their brain works right in their like thirties or forties,
and they're like, oh wait, what all right? Because when
I was a kid, there are only four kinds of people. Yeah,
all right, what's something Miles you think's overrated?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
My overrated is variety? Because okay, so the movie Christie came.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
Out by some oh the industry, right, okay, it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yeah, sorry, sorry, so I'm too Hollywood right now, Variety magazine,
who's they've given us all kinds are really real nonsense.
But like the Sidney Sweeney movie Christie came out that
everyone's like this is universally being regarded as a bomb,
like a terrible one of the worst releases we've seen
for a big film.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Yeah. Can I just read the details of that? Sure? Sure, yes, please?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah. So this, by the way, this is like an
Oscar play and some critics were like, she's actually really good.
She might like be a good actor. But you know,
it's a It's at a sixty on metacritics, so not
enough for it to be like it's an Oscar front Runner.
And they released it wide to over two thousand theaters,
so it's not like they did a slow, you know,
(21:30):
art house rollout. And it made one point three million
dollars across two thousand theaters for a per theater average
of six hundred and forty nine dollars, which puts it
among the top ten worst openings for a new release.
Three of the films below it were released during the pandemic,
so it's pretty yeah, not good. Not good.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Okay, So someone on Reddit just juxtaposed the two Variety. First,
I just want to read what Variety said when fucking
Sinners came out.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Okay, yeah, this is this is their description.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Sinners is a mass sixty one million dollars in its
global debut. It's a great result for an original R
rated horror film. Yet the Warner Brothers release has a
ninety million dollars price tag before global marketing expenses, so
profitability remains a ways away.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Mm hmmm, nice dry asshole. Oh remember feel pretty good? Exactly?
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Remember everything Jack just said about Christie coming out and
being an absolute wet fart. Okay, this is what Variety
said about Christy Christy featuring Sweeney as the boxing trail
blazer Christy Martin debut with one point three million dollars.
The rrated sports drama is the first theatrical release from
Black Bear Pictures. That's ay, the most neutral swish they went.
They broke their backs to fucking pedantic about marketing budgets
(22:48):
when it's clear the trajectory of Sinners was more than
able to fucking reopen its money and then some.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
And then this is like a surprise, a like doubled
people's expectations its first weekend, which is they were writing
about it, and then proceeded to like just continue to
dominate the box office. So they looked like fucking idiots.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Like and right away I think that I think is
interesting too, is like a lot of there's always discourse
about like you go, they went woke and they went broke,
but like you know, see Uile Sweeney really leaned into
that denim ad okay, and people were like, yeah, look
what happened bro, Like hey, people, I think the wave
is crest is crested a bit for Sydney Sweeney in
terms of like box office magnetism, but.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Like also like dropping some fucking hot garbage on us,
Like it is just like things that I I don't know.
I can't say the movie is uh good or bad.
I can say like the marketing around the movies is
like why no, nobody's gonna see either of these things, Like.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yeah, they're pointing like her last three films, Christy, Americana
and Eden were not not great returns, but anyway more
than anything, variety, fucking.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Get your shit together, Like don't be this, don't be
this obviously biased.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
But again I don't know what I expect from any
kind of industry rag. But it's just funny how they
were like, oh poor. It's like that Gordon Ramsey meme
where it's like when a black person puts out a
moviees like you idiot, and it's like when a white
woman has a movie flopped, You're like, oh, come here,
you poor baby.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Right hey, it made one point three million dollars, So that'thing.
I don't know what else. How much did you make
this weekend? Did you make one point three million dollars?
Speaker 3 (24:28):
Could you get some because you get people to pay
six hundred dollars on a screen.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
For you out it? I overrated really briefly, just the
the cleanliness of my socks. At the end of the day.
We live in a shoe free house. We went over
to friends who also have a shoe free house, and
I think I had to like step outside in the
back or something in my socks because I got in
(24:53):
there looked down. I had to like check the bottoms
of my socks, you know, like and I'm not saying
it's like stinky bat, but like just like what it
looks like. I checked. I checked the bottom of my feet,
like uh Anton sugar at the end of the No Country,
and it was it was whack. It was. It was
dark down there, and and so I had to keep
(25:15):
thee keep the feet flat on the ground the whole
uh yeah, not crossing the leg, yeah, not not crossing
the the leg wanted to cross, but I was just
I stayed in a in a crouched athletic position the
whole night.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Well, but how do you have a shoe free house
in your socks are looking like a fucking used swifter path.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
I think I stepped outside. I think I stepped. Are
you protecting this other family? Jack? Because that could have
been their filthy floor. It was as I was taking
the shoes off, I checked the bottom of my socks.
So it's your house. I don't know what it is somebody.
I just need to, you know what. Also, like, I
think I need to switch out my socks more often,
(25:56):
you know, because I'll just hang onto them until they're
holes in them.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
So okay, So now you're saying these are this is
legacy dirt on an old sock or this is no
accumulated dirt.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Entirely possible is legacy dirt? Wow? So I've never gotten
more judgment from uh An override. I mean, look, so
your socks at the bottom of your socks are perfectly.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I'm cleaning it down for Asian households. You got a
shoe this house, and I've been to your house. My
socks aren't looking like that at your house. Right, so
now I'm worried about what are you doing?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine. I think the back
deck of my house, like the back porch, is pretty
dirty and I walk out there, and I think that's
also the message that I need like house shoes, you.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Know, I need exactly exactly. I I have anxiety when
I step out in my socks. Sometimes I'm like, they're
about to get fucked up, and it used them like whatever,
fuck it.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I'm they're gonna get dirty or whatever.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
But that's why you got to have the strategically placed
slippers househoes at the threat hold so you can go
outside and keep your socks clean.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
That's right, and that and that that is my lesson
that I've learned again yet again on this episode, and
I learned it this weekend. Let's take a quick break
and we'll come back and talk about Donald Trump nodding
off in the Oval Office and other stuff. And we're back.
(27:29):
We're back, baby. All right. Let's talk about that Doctor
Oz meeting at the Oval Office. It happened on Thursday,
so it was after our last recording last week. Uh,
doctor Oz, was you know that they were basically being
like Americans think things are bad. Oh yeah, well, we're
making weight loss drugs more affordable for people as people
(27:54):
try to are worried about feeding themselves. We're uh, you know,
making it possible for you to not want to eat
quite as much. Maybe that's their solution. Maybe that was
their solution. They're like, need snap benefits. What about uh
this weight weight loss drug that my millionaire?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
How about this, We'll give big Pharma a big check
and you won't eat as much, so you may not
you might not notice your food benefits.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Being that I was just like blathering on about fat
phobic weight loss nonsense.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Did you hear what he said about the number of
pounds Americans we're gonna lose? No, that that fucking thing
he said Americans or could lose up to one hundred
and thirty five billion pounds by the mid term elections.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Wow? Yeah, yeah, think about that from electoral perspective. Yep, dude,
do we count votes by weight? We don't? Right?
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I again, so stupid, like you think that's a thing
to hang your hat on for people. Well, I mean obviously,
like in this Trump administration, they got American to lose
one hundred thirty five billion pounds after making a deal
with two pharmaceutical companies to get GLP one medications on
the market.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Anyway, but so brand et Or points out, we'll be
counting our money by weight. Could be seriously yeah right. Anyways,
he's given this speech and Trump clearly fell asleep hard hard,
like not yeah, not like what's going on. He just
(29:25):
like blinked for a long time he was out, which,
to be fair, falling asleep while listening to doctor Oz
is what most seventy nine year olds have been doing
for like the past couple of days. Yeah, yeah, right,
it's kind of the what he should be doing at
this point. Weirdly, he reportedly fell asleep after doctor Oz
(29:46):
said the words people can sleep again. So was like
a hypnos hit situation. It hit him.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
I mean the way he was sleeping with his chin up,
it looked like he was playing organ or like in
a rock band, and he was hitting beautiful for going.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
To turn it into yeah, a rock band thing like
the Oswald getting shot. Yeah, yeah, exactly, the Ruby Jack
Ruby the great memes? Is he the most hypnotizable person
of all time? Like what if if it had been
a press conference about like the food supply chain, would
he have like started clucking like a chicken. It's hard
(30:22):
to say defenses, So yeah, I will also say because
I do think Donald Trump, like it is rumored to
be on these weight loss drugs. And my unofficial take
is that the people I've seen who have lost a
lot of weight on these drugs always look so tired.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
M m.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
You know, it like suppresses your appetite, so you're like
getting less food and energy than you did before. I
feel like they're always so Sleepy's just does cocaine, I
think tof set that. Yeah, yeah, so you gotta do that.
That's the other where are you working with the cartels? Anyways?
After Trump kind of fell asleep, he was back up
(31:03):
and Adam standing up at his desk getting ready for
a photo opportunity I think, and a company rep from
like one of the pharmaceutical companies that they'd like made
a deal with randomly like passed out, which was is
there a fucking gas leak in there? What? What the
fuck is happening? Just calling out all over the place.
(31:24):
He looked he looked like if you lined as fuck.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yeah, if you say line them all up and you
you tell me which one of these dudes is going
to pass out?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
I would have I would have picked that dude. Yeah,
he looked wobbly. That would be just like a good
thing to take odds on, take money on who's going
to pass out on this oval. I told you about
how my friends would like sit around if we were
like at dinner and take money on who from a
(31:53):
neighboring table was going to stand up last? Oh wow,
like do an NBA ref type ship.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Like that?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Which of these old people is gonna fall out? First?
Mini action? Okay, yeah, yeah, I'll do that. I'll take that.
But uh yeah, So he passed out, and then we
got two amazing reactions from Donald Trump and r f
K Junior. The guy falls out. Doctor Oz goes to
be like, hey are you I'm a doctor. I'm a doctor.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
R f K.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
Bolts look at him. He sees that ship.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
He's a oh hell no, I ain't. Yeah, he got
out of there like he poisoned the guy. Yeah, Like
he he's like, all right, that ship hit, Okay, I'm
out of here.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
I wonder if he weird, like I can't, I can't
do you see the one who's like, he's like, where
the funk you going? R f K like he watches
him and he's like, hey, where the fuck? Uh? All
right happened? I mean I think he I think he
just has total flight response. That's it.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Like I think he's just not and look at look
at Trump the way he's just like watching it.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
I wonder if he was like, here we go, take
me home too? Is it time? Is it the rapture?
Is he the one due just did? Or yeah? Me? Fuck?
Where am I? Where am I? I took a nap? Oh?
Fuck fuck fuck yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
I mean it's funny to see doctor Oz actually be
a doctor. And I was like, oh, okay, he's like
going like, oh, this person's need. But the way RFK
cuts the fuck out is kinda I mean, I don't know,
I gotta credit him. He he wants nothing to do
with helping anyone at all.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
It is like just shamelessly, uh cowardly and like fucked up. Yeah,
he's just like I'm fucking out of here. Not even
morbid curiosity like a child, what happened? Why is that
guy laying down? Oh? Couldn't be me? Shoden Freuden full effect,
He's like fuck this just constantly scared, Like I wonder
(33:53):
if he's just you know, any anytime there's any sickness
around him or anything like that, he's just because he
knows he knows what those vaccines do.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
You know.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Yeah, I mean I wonder if it's just maybe he
just knows about cameras. He's like they're about to take
a bunch of pictures, because if you think about it,
Trump basically got like one of the best worst photos
of this administration was taken during this where there's a
man collapsed on the ground.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Everybody's looking at the man, like huddled over the man,
and then Donald Trump is just facing the cameras with
his like hands out in front of him and that weird,
like kind of zombie pose that he does.
Speaker 3 (34:30):
Yeah, exactly, can't put him in his pockets, just looking
into the middle distance while someone.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
The guy the one dude's holding the dude's ankles up. Yeah, yeah,
but you didn't trying to get his blood circulating back.
I was like, this is such a whatever.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
I mean, it's the perfect look and a thousand memes
were launched from it.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
For all you know, there's a guy dying four feet
to the left of him, and he just decides to
like pose like a grade school spelling contestant.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Yeah, b E D bed Okay, sir, giraffe lion monkey, Yes,
I did it.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
The IQ test is complete. Yeah, the draft one. The
White House is of course denied that Trump was sleeping
at all. He was answering questions at various points, just
not the points at which he was Clearly.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
They're going to get mad at these photographers. Uh huh
who got him in four k?
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Again?
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Unless my man is doing a Billy Preston impersonation and
he's at that organ playing, that's the way God planned.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
It, That's the way God want it to be.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Yay, Hey, no, you're fucking asleep. But again, you are
seventy nine years old. You are old. You are this
is what we would expect from a seventy nine year old. Yes, yeah,
so I don't know everything, Like everything you read now
is just about denial of reality around him, Like you know,
like the when he was asked about affordability, he got
(35:55):
mad because they're pointing out nothing, the prices have gone up,
and he's like, it's a con. The Democrats are on
this affordability con now, and a lot of people are like,
this is a this is like one of the few
things as a politician you can't really fuck around with
because the people go through the stores and see the
prices that they pay, you can't then call that a con.
(36:18):
And now like all the Republicans around him are like
kind of forced to like not acknowledge a lot of
the fucking bad realities because, like we've said this, he
just he is an old seventeen about to be octogenarian toddler.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
And yeah, they're gonna talk about it's episode, but it
it really feels like we're in the Emperor's New Clothes
type shit where he's just yeah, it's it's just he's
fully insulated and he kind of likes it like that,
you know. Oh yeah, he's just like gonna it's gonna
put in the new director of statistics to just like
make the statistics that he wants. I mean maybe that
(36:53):
if he's going to break the electoral process, then I
guess it'll make sense.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Yeah yeah, yeah, But clearly he's he's only now thinking
about how he's gonna fuck the mid terms over. And
I'm sure Project twenty twenty five has a plan for
that too. But the same thing that happened with Biden,
Like you want to go and ignore inflation and corporate
greed and act like like, oh, it's we're getting it
under control. People fucking notice every day that they can't
(37:20):
afford shit and you can't like you have to do
something about that, or like look what happened last Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
Yeah, that's right. All right, let's take a quick break
and we'll come back and talk about Kim Kardashian and
the shutdown being over. And we're back, and we've been
(37:48):
We've been keeping close tabs on Kim Kardashians.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
Dude, I tried watching the show did you over the weekend? Wow,
It's it's surreal. It's like not good, it's surreal. It
feels like not a real thing like they.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
Were trying to do, Like it's a show inside a show.
It's a show on thirty Rock that like, yeah, Jenna
would be.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
On not even then, Like that even has a bit
of like fun to it. I'm like it's directed really weird.
Glenn Close's acting isn't great because like the whole situation
is just so bad. The pace of the dialogue is
really weirds so interesting anyway, Like I was just like
I was like, yes, wait, I need to just see it.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
I couldn't get through the first five minutes.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
I was like, yeah, it's fucking weird and it's not
even fun bad Like I wanted to be like, let's
get let's have a laugh.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
I was like, oh man, oh oh no, no, I can't.
I don't even know how to follow this right now?
Speaker 3 (38:48):
Right?
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Yeah? Anyway, did she do okay on her bar exam?
She might not play a convincing lawyer on TV, but
in real life, yeah, we're all just waiting on the
edge of our seats to see if we can hire
her for our latest lawsuit that we bring against Kroger
for prices or you know whatever. Yeah, the All's Fair
(39:09):
star just revealed on Instagram that she didn't pass the
exam the start, just a week after she admitted to
using chat gpt to cheat on her law exams, and
some people think that even her statement about not passing
the bar was written by chat GPT. Well, I'm not
(39:32):
a lawyer yet, I just play a very well dressed
one on TV. Six years into this law journey and
I'm still all in until I passed the bar. No shortcuts,
no giving up m dash, just more studying and even
more determination. No shortcuts.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
I'm using a large language model to write this to study.
I've gone on record saying I'm yelling at a large
language model for hallucinating and.
Speaker 1 (40:03):
Why did you make me fail?
Speaker 3 (40:04):
Oh my god? Okay, well, hey, you know, I'm glad
we're all the story.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
She keeps failing her exams because she's using chat gybt
to study, and the chat gypt is like giving her
made up answers, because that's what chetchypt does. It's just
like a robotic yes man, and it will make up
bullshit cases just to like this. This is the first
shortcoming that we found out about, as like lawyers submitting
(40:31):
work to a judge and the judge being like, so
these cases that you're citing don't exist, they were made up.
And yeah, she's trying to use it to study for
the bar. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah,
and then and then yell at it, being like, why
did you do that to me?
Speaker 3 (40:49):
Chet Gpt, Well, because you studied with the computer equivalent
of a man that won't admit they don't know anything
and has to say something even if it's wrong. So look, hey,
six years, here's to another six, Kim, let's get it done.
Let's knuckle down. Okay, let's fucking lock in. That's what
all the young people are doing. They're locking in right now.
(41:10):
Let's lock in too, lock in, Bro, Yeah, they're getting
locked in. Bro was so close to passing the examine.
That only motivated me even more.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
Let's go exclamation point. Isn't failure, m dash, it's fuel.
Uh yeah, Peter Twinklice pointed out, was crust stock musing
chat gpt you brainless seasons all right? Uhcotis is there
(41:40):
something wrong? You've hardly touched your gay marriage equality.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
Yeah, you've hardly dismantled gay marriage equality. So yeah, Monday
they turned down a request to consider overturning oberg Fell
because great.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
They just without comment.
Speaker 3 (41:55):
No, they were just like, yeah, Kim okay, So Kim
Davis if you remember she was that remember work, who
was like, God has told me I cannot I cannot
certify this marriage because of my Christianity. So people were like, sorry,
you work for the government, so fuck your both. Like
you just as a person working for the government, you're
not allowed to discriminate.
Speaker 1 (42:14):
That's just it is what it is.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
So the reason this a lot of people are like
the way the case as it was really probably wasn't
going to pose that much of a threat to overtfeld
because of the state.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
That it's in.
Speaker 3 (42:26):
Because what happened was this couple sued her for not
certifying their marriage and they got damages in like three
hundred and sixty thousand in like lawyers fees, and she's
been fighting that award to try and push back, and
so she was trying to go to the Supreme Court
and be like, actually, you should just overturn this whole
thing so I don't have to pay this fine that
I got or this judgment that happened to me back
(42:46):
in Kentucky. So a lot of court people were like,
this wasn't going to be the case that the Supreme
Court was going to use to absolutely gut marriage, right,
So they're like, it's safe for now, because clearly there
are people who who are open to the idea of
completely inverting people's rights like that. But for this one,
they're like, sorry, this case, this was kind of garbage. Uh,
(43:09):
and we are we're kind of pretending we're not totally
in the fucking shitter for the MAGA movement, So a
no on this one.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
So yeah, KNOWE for me, doug and finally the shutdown
is over. The Senate advanced the funding bill after eight
Democrats joined the GOP, ending the shutdown, but in return
they got fuck all. They got that. How you pronounce that?
Speaker 3 (43:32):
Yeah for call fuckaluck fuck all?
Speaker 1 (43:36):
Yes, yes, yes, yes yeah.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
They were like, they're the biggest fucking thing they were pushing.
We need these healthcare subsidies to be extended. We're not
doing shit. Look at the fucking l's you guys just
took on the election. Look at the polling. Everyone is
blaming you.
Speaker 1 (43:54):
Even though the.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Democrats initiated the shutdown, they are blaming you. The prices
are going up, the fucking play aren't flying on time.
People are not getting their jobs, they're getting late, or
their money they're getting.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
Late, becoming more and more unpopular as this, as this happens, yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
One hundred and they're like, okay, fine, we'll do it
for no guarantee that the Obamacare subsidies will be extended.
Speaker 1 (44:16):
They're just gonna get a vote. It's really inconceivable, Like
can I can't. My only guess is that they were
like scared or like felt insecure about the latest momentum
from more progressive politics, and like the younger side of
(44:39):
the party and we're like, we're gonna fucking make sure
that everybody knows this party still sucks shit, still in
an establishment as fuck.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
I mean, yeah, I think this is a real healthy
reminder that these people in the like the Democrats that
have been in office, they all need to go. Yeah,
these people are not serious, are going to lose their healthcare.
They already can't afford their healthcare. Uh, and you have
no spine and every every Democrats like they're like, what
(45:10):
the fuck we have them against the wall. Yeah, Like,
and you can deliver for people by actually doing something.
And I think the logic out of these eight senators
who we absolutely should name and shame, Catherine Cortez Masto,
Dick durb Dick Durbin, John John Fetterman, Matcay Wait a second, yeah,
Tim Kain, Angus King.
Speaker 1 (45:28):
Who's independent, Tim Kaine, Massive Kind.
Speaker 3 (45:34):
Jackie Rosen, and Jean Shaheen. Yeah, these are the people
who they're sort of logic was like, we don't we
want to get snap funded, we want to get federal
workers paid. We don't want them to like nuke the
filibuster and then start doing all these voter suppression things
they had, like they had all these reasons, which I
get that's commendable, but given what we've heard from people
(45:56):
being like, I'm a federal worker, but I absolutely want
you to keep fucking fighting this fight for us. And
I get it, like you're probably they're all hearing different
things from different you know, from their constituents, but this
was such a huge moment that predictably was completely blown
by these people. So I mean, I'm I'm not shocked,
(46:17):
but again, a good reminder that so many of these people,
they're all coming off the same tree, you know.
Speaker 1 (46:22):
Is it really just that Trump kept threatening to do
worse and worse shit to his hostages aka the American people,
and then like not pay them, not allow them to eat,
and the Democrats were like, we got them to agree
to not starve them.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
Yeah, that's one version, and try and act like they're
the adults in the room because they you know, they're like, well,
we caved and we came to the table. But I
think it's infuriating given what this administration is doing, and
you know, like part of mounting a good defense an
opposition is to show like if your opponent is not
(46:57):
playing the same game. Then you certainly can't play this
game you've been playing, right, and it's going to be
the same thing of like, well, we're just gonna let them,
They're going to.
Speaker 1 (47:05):
Just hang themselves on their own policies. No, you need
to fucking fight.
Speaker 3 (47:10):
And you know, I think this all these people need
to be primaried, and I think people can't forget that
this is actually what the demo, this is really what
the Democratic Party is. Forget all the feel good ship
from last Tuesday. This is this is what it is like.
They're not seals.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
They're out of power until the Old Guard is out
of power. This is what it is. Yeah, yeah, all right,
on that happy note. Those are the stories that are
trending on this one day morning. We're back. But hey,
Kim Kardashian still not a lawyer? Can last on that
the great lock in has begun? Lock In?
Speaker 3 (47:44):
I'm willing to help you. I'm a human. I'm better
than chat GPT. Okay maybe yeah.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
Yeah, i'd Sam, I'd Sam. You're an amazing legal mind.
Oh my god, oh my god, Jack, you wouldn't believe.
All right, We're back tomorrow with the whole last episode
of the show. Until then, be kind to each other,
be kind to yourselves, get your vaccines, well you still
can't get your flu shots. Don't do nothing about white supremacy,
and we will talk to you all tomorrow. Bye bye.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
