Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
intrendable Nightcrawler. Curtis of Dantastic Glass on Twitter. Um, what's
that you said, Curtis of Curtis of like okay, Fantastic
(00:23):
Glass dough Wow? Yeah, he said, Now that at Miles
of Gray has acknowledged how great Nightcrawler is. Of that,
this one's for you, buddy, Okay, shout out to the
incredible Nightcrawler. I'm Jack that is Miles, Yes, and this
is this is gonna be a scavenger hunt for all
the words that I mispronounced and only pronounced like one
(00:45):
syllable of. And you just you just let you know
if you can catch them all, you gotta catch them all. Uh.
Poland is trending. Not for the reason that I think
we all assumed. No, not because a little Yatti took
the walk up, not the little Yahti song. It didn't
blow up and crossover way more tense situation. Allegedly the
other there are reports that two missiles struck a Polish
(01:08):
like city on the Ukraine Poland border and two people died.
The Pentagon isn't commenting yet, which is interesting. A lot
of people are saying that these are Russian missiles that hit.
So a lot of people are like tweeting ship like
World War three Article five, But Article five isn't something
like that. That doesn't happen automatically, like they get together
and they're like, okay, so it's smoked. Now do we
want to go into a hot war with Russia. I'm
(01:30):
not sure that's been the case. They would much rather
have a proxy war like they're doing currently. Do you
explain what the article five is? Article five is basically
saying if there's an attack on one NATO member country,
then that's then that means it will incur the wrath
of the collective NATO, like they'll be collective NATO response. Um,
so that's why I think who knows what's going on there?
(01:51):
And the fact that the Pentagon hasn't commented seems like
there's still information that they're collecting whatever. But uh, yeah,
you who knows what is happening there? And yeah, uh
Poland unfortunately is now like suffering material loss because of
what's happening there. Some people are So there's like there's
a lot of speculation over like the source of like
(02:13):
where the missiles came from. And I think that's probably
maybe why the Pentagon isn't say anything it so I'll uh,
I don't really need to indulge any World War three
fantasies right now, you know. Uh, you know, I got
a lot on my plate, you know already. So yeah,
the Grammy Nomes came out today exactly speaking which Grammy
nomes most nominated artist. She's the most nominated artist this
(02:36):
year and I think of all time. Now now becomes
the most nominated artists of all time over jay Z.
I think no, is that who it is? I think so.
I saw a headline that was like, Beyonce passes jay
z Ki's jay Z. Wow, you know what, we'll give
her the edge there. That's wild that they're like, this
(02:58):
is a moment to step back. That's also like jay
Z shouldn't. I don't, look, you haven't done as much
Grammy worthy ship there. I think it's just funny because
for a while, like so much of the rap category
was like, well, we only know these five artists, y'all,
so let's get into it. Kendrick got eight, which of
course brought back memories of when Good Kid Mad City
(03:21):
lost to the heist. The Heist by Mac Lamore. That's
what I'm saying. The joke being here because Mr Maround
the Big Steppers is nominated somehow, because you imagine. Also, wait,
the Jack Harlow album, this one by Push Your T
hold On. Mack Lamore had an album this year. Kendrick,
(03:41):
He's like, we're still just really the Heist holds Up Man,
So we're just still Heist reissue with it again, special edition.
But yeah, I mean there's all kinds of I don't
know that the Grammys are They've they've stopped meaning much
to me. I remember very earlier when I forget what
it was. There was like one time I remember this
(04:02):
artist I really like didn't get nominal, was like, y'all
don't know shit anymore. Yeah, I think it was like
once I got into serious rap, when I entered my
serious rap phase and learned that, Um, I think I
think he's the DJ, I'm the rapper one the first
rap Grammy over Public Enemy. I was like, well, this
(04:25):
is this is preposterous. Well, I'm I'm all about that
pe life. But I guess I'll I'll look into this
fresh Prince and see when he's offering. Yeah, not not
really an award show that I look forward to or
pay that much attention to. But you know, there's always
like a good musical performance or two afterwards, it was
(04:46):
like a musical performance or two that they're always very extravagant,
and there's always a couple that they managed not to
funk up, like with the you know, production notes and
very they seem very controlling about all. That's the point
that like they went to war with Frank Ocean. They
were like, Frank's just like not that good as a
(05:09):
of a live performers who we were trying to steer
him to something that was going to make more sense
to him, because I do remember he had a performance
that I was like that, this does not feel like
he was set up to succeed. I wonder if it
could have been that he had a bunch of old
as Grammy producers like talking down to him, and he's
a generational genius that might throw you off your game
(05:30):
a little bit. I think there'll be a good performance
or there due for one you know we had wasn't
the they did WAP last year. Yeah, and Ben Shapiro
almost he was like the coming of the demon world
is upon us. You're like, yeah, okay, bring it, then
I'll work with these demons. Maybe a collaboration with Ben
Shapiro when like his head explodes on stage. Could you
(05:54):
imagine if they brought a like a fake Ben Shapiro,
like in effigy and just like through through ass atom
of the whole time, Harry styles Harry's House Massive is
gotten nominated, So exciting times. Yeah, we'll tune in to
the Twitter clips if Twitter's around even who knows over
(06:17):
will Twitter be around when the Grammys happen? That is
our third trending story. Twitter continues to be trending for
the wrong reasons. Two factor authentication is failing. There's a
lot of people thing if you're on Twitter, stay on
Twitter essentially if you log out, can't log back in.
(06:40):
Ah ship that's look like I said, and this morning's episode,
I've I feel like we're due for seeing it, like
the first bits of the wheels starting to blow off
this week. It feels like, especially with like people now
we're there's other things that were being reported that people
who got spicy on like slack at Twitter r lost
(07:00):
their jobs because they're like, hey, motherfucker, due to your
recent behavior, we have to part ways with so it
sounds like everybody just up out of there fired. Yeah. Um,
it seems like a good manager though. I mean this
should really a lot of people have said this. Bezo Zuckerberg,
fucking musk boy. They're all they're like, yeah, I gotta
(07:22):
fire ten thousand people for some ship like that. That's
just showing you how quickly for all the talks of
like I'm building this in this amazing business and then
in a fucking snap of the fingers, you're like, yeah, man,
I don't know, ten thousand people don't have a job anymore,
because that's how I keep the stock price up, y'all. Okay,
And I don't and I don't think twice because I
(07:43):
look at my bank account and my bald head and
I feel good. Yeah, that seems to be you know,
we've talked about before, the like studies into how CEO
has become multi multibillionaires. It always comes back to them
being very scale old predators and finding an advantage and
continuing to exploit a like power or contract advantage that
(08:09):
they have over somebody else. And you know, it's just
shrewdness and it has nothing to do with you know,
creativity or skill really it's just waiting, waiting for the
right moment to strike. There. There's actually, uh, you know,
I don't ride super hard for Malcolm Gladwell, but he
has a article in The New Yorker that's just a
look at a handful of Jack Welch biographies that are
(08:32):
coming out. I don't know, like when I was young,
I remember seeing these like Jack Welch, like Jack's Way,
like Jack's Way or the Highway, like these books that
were like the CEO biographies about like how this guy
who took over General Electric, what was a massive company already,
was like such a genius and like this, you know,
(08:53):
turned into the spiritual guru for like businessmen. And this
review of these biographies like basically comes to the conclusion
that he's just like a monster who like loves firing people.
Like that's that's all all it is. They're like, huh, weird,
Like when you actually look at the events that happened
in here, he seems like a just a bad, very selfish,
(09:18):
mean person. Just weird. Um. Anyways, let's take a quick break.
We'll be right back, and we're back. Wasn't uh sorry,
(09:39):
I just remember Alec Baldwin's character on thirty Walk Rock
was like loosely based on Jack Welch, Right, Yeah, I
think I think that's right. At least that was like
part of the inspiration. Yeah, I feel like, yeah, I
mean looming because there's always like nods to the general
electric thing as his character. But anyway, it ends with
an anecdote of where he like meat with a biographer. Uh,
(10:02):
and then they like drive home from the golf club.
He did a lot of his business on the golf course,
you won't believe it. And he just decides to drive
down the middle of the road and everybody has to
like just get out of his way. I think he's
like a little drama and like that's just and he's
just obliviously driving down the middle of the road. And
it's unclear if it's because of cognitive decline, but he
(10:25):
he seems to just you know that that is a
defining story of like who this person was. Anyways, if
only we could stop getting uh mind fucked by narcissists too,
who just used their cultive personality to exploit the American dream. Hey,
(10:46):
look at this. So Trump is expected to announce his
third run for president tonight, possibly and his family chose
this day to sign a deal with a Saudi real
estate company to license its name to a housing and
golf complex that will be built in them on which
there's a lot of questions about former President Donald Trump's
(11:09):
mixing of politics and business, specifically with regards to Saudi money.
And yeah, he appears to be doing that again, doesn't
really give a ship, Um, you know, driving down the
middle of the road without noticing anybody honking and swerving
out of the way and like crashing into trees because
(11:30):
he's just like because he can. Basically, Yeah, that's part
of the fun. Yeah. I mean, I think they're just
further and further getting entrenched with Trump. We'll see if
that that pays off, you know. Yeah, come but I
don't know, I don't, I don't may wanna, may want
to hold back on signing some deals first, but I mean,
(11:52):
we'll see. Man, I'm I'm really curious what this announcement
looks like, Like what he the funk he says, He's
gonna say the dumbest shit like being and I'm running
and I'm more powerful and Rhonda Santis he can barely
do sex like a normal guy. And you're like, what
where did that come from Oh I found out some stuff.
(12:13):
I've got my own dossier. Back to Twitter and people's
susceptibility to the cult of personality, did you see frequent
contributor to the show, Christi Yamagucci mains like he a
place that he works had like a dude calling them,
And basically the person had heard that the car company
(12:34):
works for had pulled ads from Twitter since Musk bought it,
which is true of like most companies, like to the
point that he's now like advertising with SpaceX on Twitter.
But this person was just like, why so you hate
free speech, you hate America. I'm not gonna I'm not
gonna buy one of your cars, and just like having
(12:56):
that the market too, I was like, I love that
I heard that call that Christie tagged us in and
it really it has such it was such care and energy,
you know, like this this like weird version of I'm
the customer, so prepared to experience abuse or like whatever
(13:16):
I say, no matter how ass and I you have
to actually entertain my idea. And it is funny when
someone starts off saying like, just so you know, I'm
in the market for a thirty five thousand dollar car,
and I don't know what that means to your billion
dollar industry, but I'm in the market for one of
these tiny little four wheel cars, So you better get
(13:37):
the CEO on the phone unless they want this thirty
five dollars to walk. It's like, motherfucker, they don't give
a shit about you. You didn't even get to that
part of your learning where you realize you are insignificant
to begin with. But you get so fox brained when
it's like, oh they won't advertise on Twitter, than they're
the bad truly trying to let me speak to your
(13:59):
man manager to American capitalism like trying to get to
the top of the heap, so can you, idiot? Yeah,
It's like it's like that stupid thing where the astronauts
are like looking out and one astronauts looking back at
Earth and the other one has a gun to him,
and it's like, wait, there's no manager to speak with
and the other actions there never was man, just so
you know, right. Republican leader Kevin McCarthy won the nomination
(14:24):
Tuesday for House Speaker, which is just the first step
to becoming like the actual Speaker of the House again.
But yeah, I mean this is he he was kind
of pitching himself in addition to being a Trump bootliquer
who sorted his starburst for him, right, wasn't that Kevin
McCarthy Yo? Yeah, picked all the good ones out for him. Yeah. Yeah,
he loves the pink and red. He's also like trying
(14:45):
to put himself as like the centrist alternative to mega
Republicans after the big losses in the mid term, and
it seems like that's working out for him. He was
up against I think a more a fur are right
and Andy Biggs Yeah yeah, who's an absolute jan six
raw Ra type guy who, like men, you are, like,
(15:07):
what are they gonna find out what he was doing?
But yeah, it'll be I'm curious to see because this
is like the first fight right of establishment versus the
people on the fringes of the already weird fringe party
like since the mid terms. Yeah yeah, yeah votes, So
that's pretty that's pretty handy. Yeah. Yeah, We'll see how
(15:29):
that continues because now you you're we're all waiting to
see how the MAGA in fighting shakes out. Mhm um.
And finally, Liberty Council has released their holiday boycott list.
There's no which woke capitalist not to support and it's
great because it's their whole things that's based on whether
(15:50):
or not they acknowledge Christ's dominion or not. Basically because
it'll be like Bath and body Works nice when navigating
to the Bath and body Works website and mean of
the shoppers are met with Christmas cheer. The website decorated
for Christmas, and shoppers are encouraged to find out quote
what Christmas smells like. This company is clearly not afraid
to say the word okay, uh, then you have like
(16:13):
any So basically, if you use the word Christmas, then
you are nice, but if you say fucking holidays, you
are fucked up and going to hell. So for example,
uh Burlington Coute Factory made the Naughty List, featuring quote
hot holiday deals and gift cards emphasizing quote happy Holidays.
(16:34):
In addition, they lack any emphasis on gift giving for
the season and the severe lack of Christmas advertising with
biblical meaning. Each outer marketing concept starts with Christma blah
blah blah blah blah, and then they give you a number.
It's like, please call customer service at this number to
tell them you have nothing better to do. And that
this is actually how you will combat uh inequality or
(16:54):
whatever existential dread you have just dial called Ja crew,
stop using holiday. Are no references to Christmas or any
biblical elements within product associations and advertisements. Couldn't they have
shown Joseph rocking a nice pair of chinos like the
you know, like you imagine or then would they get
(17:15):
mad right if you did an activity scene and the
whole fucking family is dripped out head to toe in
you know, fucking TJ max type ship because again t
J Max also naughty. No reference to Christmas, only a
handful of quote holiday references. This is not good Walgreens,
they say Holiday, it's just solid. It's it's it's hard
(17:35):
out there. Yeah, to watch somebody cling to a dwindling brand.
It is kind of wild that so many of these
stores do reference Christmas, like kind of put their head
down and just go go hard on Christmas, like Sears
still out here, um, Walmart still out Thank God from
Menard's also yes, yes, alright, well, those are some of
(18:00):
the things that are trending on this Tuesday afternoon. We
are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
get the booster, get the flu shot, don't do nothing
about white supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow.
Bye bye,
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of the
intrendable Nightcrawler. Curtis of Dantastic Glass on Twitter. Um, what's
that you said, Curtis of Curtis of like okay, Fantastic
(00:23):
Glass dough Wow? Yeah, he said, Now that at Miles
of Gray has acknowledged how great Nightcrawler is. Of that,
this one's for you, buddy, Okay, shout out to the
incredible Nightcrawler. I'm Jack that is Miles, Yes, and this
is this is gonna be a scavenger hunt for all
the words that I mispronounced and only pronounced like one

if you can catch them all, you gotta catch them all. Uh.
Poland is trending. Not for the reason that I think

that that pays off, you know. Yeah, come but I
don't know, I don't, I don't may wanna, may want
to hold back on signing some deals first, but I mean,
(11:52):
we'll see. Man, I'm I'm really curious what this announcement
looks like, Like what he the funk he says, He's
gonna say the dumbest shit like being and I'm running
and I'm more powerful and Rhonda Santis he can barely
do sex like a normal guy. And you're like, what
where did that come from Oh I found out some stuff.
(12:13):
I've got my own dossier. Back to Twitter and people's
susceptibility to the cult of personality, did you see frequent
contributor to the show, Christi Yamagucci mains like he a
place that he works had like a dude calling them,
And basically the person had heard that the car company
(12:34):
works for had pulled ads from Twitter since Musk bought it,
which is true of like most companies, like to the
point that he's now like advertising with SpaceX on Twitter.
But this person was just like, why so you hate
free speech, you hate America. I'm not gonna I'm not
gonna buy one of your cars, and just like having
(12:56):
that the market too, I was like, I love that
I heard that call that Christie tagged us in and
it really it has such it was such care and energy,
you know, like this this like weird version of I'm
the customer, so prepared to experience abuse or like whatever
(13:16):
I say, no matter how ass and I you have
to actually entertain my idea. And it is funny when
someone starts off saying like, just so you know, I'm
in the market for a thirty five thousand dollar car,
and I don't know what that means to your billion
dollar industry, but I'm in the market for one of
these tiny little four wheel cars, So you better get
(13:37):
the CEO on the phone unless they want this thirty
five dollars to walk. It's like, motherfucker, they don't give
a shit about you. You didn't even get to that
part of your learning where you realize you are insignificant
to begin with. But you get so fox brained when
it's like, oh they won't advertise on Twitter, than they're
the bad truly trying to let me speak to your
(13:59):
man manager to American capitalism like trying to get to
the top of the heap, so can you, idiot? Yeah,
It's like it's like that stupid thing where the astronauts
are like looking out and one astronauts looking back at
Earth and the other one has a gun to him,
and it's like, wait, there's no manager to speak with
and the other actions there never was man, just so
you know, right. Republican leader Kevin McCarthy won the nomination
(14:24):
Tuesday for House Speaker, which is just the first step
to becoming like the actual Speaker of the House again.
But yeah, I mean this is he he was kind
of pitching himself in addition to being a Trump bootliquer
who sorted his starburst for him, right, wasn't that Kevin
McCarthy Yo? Yeah, picked all the good ones out for him. Yeah. Yeah,
he loves the pink and red. He's also like trying
(14:45):
to put himself as like the centrist alternative to mega
Republicans after the big losses in the mid term, and
it seems like that's working out for him. He was
up against I think a more a fur are right
and Andy Biggs Yeah yeah, who's an absolute jan six
raw Ra type guy who, like men, you are, like,
(15:07):
what are they gonna find out what he was doing?
But yeah, it'll be I'm curious to see because this
is like the first fight right of establishment versus the
people on the fringes of the already weird fringe party
like since the mid terms. Yeah yeah, yeah votes, So
that's pretty that's pretty handy. Yeah. Yeah, We'll see how
(15:29):
that continues because now you you're we're all waiting to
see how the MAGA in fighting shakes out. Mhm um.
And finally, Liberty Council has released their holiday boycott list.
There's no which woke capitalist not to support and it's
great because it's their whole things that's based on whether
(15:50):
or not they acknowledge Christ's dominion or not. Basically because
it'll be like Bath and body Works nice when navigating
to the Bath and body Works website and mean of
the shoppers are met with Christmas cheer. The website decorated
for Christmas, and shoppers are encouraged to find out quote
what Christmas smells like. This company is clearly not afraid
to say the word okay, uh, then you have like
(16:13):
any So basically, if you use the word Christmas, then
you are nice, but if you say fucking holidays, you
are fucked up and going to hell. So for example,
uh Burlington Coute Factory made the Naughty List, featuring quote
hot holiday deals and gift cards emphasizing quote happy Holidays.
(16:34):
In addition, they lack any emphasis on gift giving for
the season and the severe lack of Christmas advertising with
biblical meaning. Each outer marketing concept starts with Christma blah
blah blah blah blah, and then they give you a number.
It's like, please call customer service at this number to
tell them you have nothing better to do. And that
this is actually how you will combat uh inequality or
(16:54):
whatever existential dread you have just dial called Ja crew,
stop using holiday. Are no references to Christmas or any
biblical elements within product associations and advertisements. Couldn't they have
shown Joseph rocking a nice pair of chinos like the
you know, like you imagine or then would they get
(17:15):
mad right if you did an activity scene and the
whole fucking family is dripped out head to toe in
you know, fucking TJ max type ship because again t
J Max also naughty. No reference to Christmas, only a
handful of quote holiday references. This is not good Walgreens,
they say Holiday, it's just solid. It's it's it's hard
(17:35):
out there. Yeah, to watch somebody cling to a dwindling brand.
It is kind of wild that so many of these
stores do reference Christmas, like kind of put their head
down and just go go hard on Christmas, like Sears
still out here, um, Walmart still out Thank God from
Menard's also yes, yes, alright, well, those are some of
(18:00):
the things that are trending on this Tuesday afternoon. We
are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
get the booster, get the flu shot, don't do nothing
about white supremacy, and we will talk to y'all tomorrow.
Bye bye,
