Speaker 1 (00:02):
Did you see that?

Speaker 2 (00:03):
I forget who someone posted like the New Washington Post
like op ed column, like what the topics are? No,
it's it's over for like, No, it's fucking fully over
the topics on there aren't even like what normal people
fucking talk about.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
It's so fucking funny.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Uh So Rachel Maddow posted, and then I saw Ben
Consury like reposted on Blue Sky, like this is what
the sidecom said. Letters to the editor, why America should
legalize horse slaughter? Then the next one, e bikes are
an e menace? Next one, why are Americans relocating?

Speaker 3 (00:42):
The data?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Show surprises?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
The next one Groundhog Day and Gaza. Then these numbers
are the real reason late night TV is collapsing like
all nonsense. Yeah, just like a Trump administration approved talking
points why America should legalize horse slaughter?

Speaker 1 (00:59):
Those are the stakes right now. That's what That's what
That's what me and my friends were talking about this weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
And those are the steaks. Man, do you have a horse? Rib?

Speaker 1 (01:07):
I mean, fortunately, I'm not gonna lie.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, me too, you know what I mean kind of inadvertently,
but no, I did it, and I did that ship knowingly.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
You know what I mean, hello the Internet, and welcome
to this week trend edition of Guy.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Yeah, oh my god, you're so horny this morning.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yeah, my name used to do the opening your people
were early episodes. It wasn't always the Dean scream. I
was going, yeah, I do remember that. I don't remember
it ever being this horny. But maybe your mic is
you're on the road. Your MIC's a little bit warmer
than usual.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
I can hear. Jack. You don't even know when I'm
horny anymore. That's not picking up on the signals, all right.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
He's looking at me with this look and going to
eat what.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
You Okay? What what's wrong? You look forget it?

Speaker 2 (02:10):
And I take the I take the carnation out of
my hair and I spike it on the ground.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
What we did?

Speaker 2 (02:17):
What we say so far that I'm Jack your miles.
This is the episode where we tell you what is trending?
What was trending this weekend? What's trending this Monday morning? Uh?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
First, we tell you a.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Little bit about ourselves by telling you something we think
is overrated, underrated? Enough of these fucking guests, all right,
what about us?

Speaker 1 (02:36):
What about us?

Speaker 2 (02:37):
The host st podcast from us? I have no idea
who we are, Miles. What is something that you think
is underrated? Okay, I just saw one battle after another
over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yes, it was a good time.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Officially, a having seen one battle after another rare, rare
moment in the show where we've both seen the movie
that everyone's talking about. Shout out to my mother in
law for being able to watch the guy's child so
we could sneak out and I could eat old Bay
on popcorn in Maryland in a Maryland movie theater. But
I gotta say Leonardo DiCaprio's throat acting underrated. He does

(03:19):
this thing in like a dialogue when he's not speaking
and he's reacting.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
He kind of like half swallows, you know.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
He gets the throat sort of actuating articulating a little
bit really adds. I kept noticing that. I'm like, oh oh,
and it's not a thing I think limited to him.
But I think because I saw the movie, I'm.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Like, this guy's fuck. He's got the goods.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
And also I just think overall and underrated aspect about
Leonardo DiCaprio, his comedic acting is actually really underrated because
there's to me, Leonardo DiCaprio is at his best when
he's playing a strong, out, panicked guy where shit is
going always going wrong for him. They's just like something

(04:04):
about his frustration, like what the fuck, Like when he's
just you know, like in a lot of those scenes
he's like physical acting where he's just so paranoid and
like flopping on the ground because he thinks someone's going
to see him. I really enjoyed that shit, and I
realized I'm like, oh, that's kind of what why I
liked Wolf of Wall Street. It really wasn't the story itself.
I just like seeing Leonardo DiCaprio like as a strung out,

(04:26):
panicked guy.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, And it's just.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Kind of that once upon a time In Hollywood too,
he's like getting a lot of roles as a has
been for somebody who's like kind of still you know.
I wonder if there's like they just recognize that that's
a fear of his and so like they're they're.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Casting them that didn't do it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, but yeah, he's like kind of he's great, and
I feel like there's so many good performances. Benicio del
Toro's getting a lot of attention online.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
He's great.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
He's like got I feel like Lebowski energy a little bit,
you know, like that everybody I saw someone be like
His character made me start like drinking alcoholically again because
he just makes drinking beer seems so cool.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
The way they're pounding modellos while driving is just like
it is. Uh, it's the rare pro drunk driving p
s a this movie.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
But yeah, yeah, he was honestly pen really freaked character.
Amazing character.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
His performance got stuck in my head like a like
a song, you know, like I kept thinking about the
way he moves and the way he was Like as
I was like walking, I was like thinking about that guy. Yeah,
it's it's crazy love. I love the villain organization. I
won't I won't ruin it.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Well we'll keep it qualitative. At this point that it's there,
there's some great wormances. I've only spoiled throat acting for
people I think at this point watched for the throat
act for the.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Real throat out guys.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
No tooth acting in this one, no, no, no, but
definitely some straight wind pipe, solid wind pipe acting. All right,
My underrated is the great Peshtigo fire for my kids.
Random questions this weekend uh, you know, they lived through

(06:30):
l as wildfires earlier in the year, and it's always
kind of near the top of their mind.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
There's come talking like a like a Dare talk ship.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
You sit down chair around you guys know about a
little wildfire. Seems like you still got a house. Huh,
his pants wet, don't worry about that. But anyways, they
asked what the deadliest fire in all history was? Oh,
my god, which I don't. I try not to be

(07:06):
like that's that's too dark, Like what's wrong? Yeah? Yeah,
so yeah, we just we just look it up, you know,
and usually we'll guess before we look it up, and
then you know, talk about our guesses before. And we
all guessed the Great Chicago Fire. Actually what my seven
year old guests, uh, San Francisco in nineteen eleven, because
of like there was an earthquake and I know there

(07:28):
was a massive fire. They just read just mainline like
books about natural disasters.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
I was gonna be like at this age, did you
guys read about the Dresden fire bombings?

Speaker 1 (07:39):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
If we're talking natural not fire bombings, that's its own category.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
I think that's its own category.

Speaker 3 (07:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, but the Great Chicago fire was not that's that's
just the one that like we had heard of. I
don't think it's even in the top ten. But the
deadliest fire happened on the same night.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Oh shit, so it took it. It happened.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
It was like Wisconsin, so same region, same night, and
it took out just like millions of square acres. The
fact that they happen on the same night is also,
I don't know, it's instructive because you may remember dipshit
celebrities spreading the theory that someone was running around La

(08:22):
starting the La fires. Yeah, yeah, because why else would
totally distinct fires happen at the same time across the city.
And the answer is as simple and obvious as being like,
why would buildings in different parts of Miami get damaged
by the same hurricane. It's like there's a single event

(08:42):
happening that's causing It's it's like the way that wind
gets written out of the history of like what causes
wildfires is so weird. Like so I was like I
got this stuck in my head. I was like looking
up on like the story of the Peshtigo fire, and
there's this article on like weather dot gov that is

(09:06):
like the story of the Pestigo fire. Gleaned from survivor
accounts and conjecture is that railroad workers clearing land for
tracks that Sunday evening started a brush fire which somehow
became an inferno. It had been an unusually dry summer,
and the fire moved fast.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
What was making it move fast? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Do you think it was an A survivor said, it
moved so fast it was like a tornado. What's what's
tornado made out of? Is that stuff? What's that stuff
that's making that shit move?

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Juice? But yeah, shout out to that cow.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
For the Chicago fire, because you know that's the fact
that set it off. That's that's there's like an old
song about miss O'Leary's col or some shit that I
learned when I was in preschool. But I feel like
it's a good metaphor also for like how we read
stories in history and in the news now, like a
cow not so lantern, like cows presumably do all the

(10:02):
time without burning down the city. It just happened to
be in a generational windstorm, right, It's causing like the
biggest fires ever across the region, and everyone's like, man,
that fucking cow. Really fucking here, I was thinking here,
I thought it was like a parallel for like sports.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
It's like, well, that was like a small market disaster.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
I think it's also that. I think it's for sure
that yeah, but they just won the finals really where
they in Milwaukee?

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Yeah, but anyways, shout out to underrate a great pestigo fire,
but overall even more underrated the role of wind and fires.
Like consistently people were like at a front row seat
at that one. They want to hear about the wind.
They want to hear about the Santa Anna's blowing through
like a bellows into hell.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
That's right, all right, myles. What is something you think
is overrated?

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Just reading headlines general, because people, so many people do this,
and I get it. It feels like the headline should
give us. You're like, okay, I saw that headline. But
so many headlines are so fucking deceptive, especially right now,
like the amount of weird cope headlines that are written
about the administration are like dangerous where it's like, oh,

(11:19):
Trump humiliated by blah blah blah. It's like that's that
doesn't mean anything stopped, and you're you're going off of
you're trying to connect one tweet he did to be
like and he's mad about it.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
So then what right, Like you're giving people.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
A false sense of like progress or that people are
resisting effectively, and while there are people doing that, I
think it's just read the whole fucking thing. Like the
story we talked about last week, the Tilly Norwood thing,
the amount of headlines I've seen just since then, like
with you know, you know how people are kind of
late to certain stories and like then they finally get

(11:53):
their like Tilly Norwood thing out. There's like one advice
that was like Tilly Norwood has every like Hollywood scared
and yeah it wait, we talked about it and it
just kept going after that. I don't know what's wrong
with people that. I mean, they obviously all listened to
the dailies, like guys, I'm not obviously they fucked up
what's going on.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
But like not to mention like like we're saying in
the show.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
It's like according to the person who's like fortunes depend
on people talking about this, they are lying and saying, oh, yeah,
we've we've had we've been approached by talent agencies. I
can't name them, and I will announce in a very
future date, undefined future date who we will be signing
with again, just to get the impression that this thing

(12:36):
is sought after, or even people who didn't catch that episode,
like the mainstream media there you first of all, how
dare you? Yeah you we don't even want you listening
to this episode? Amy, Yeah, uh no, it's ah, this
is an AI actress who the person who invented this
AI actress was like, we're starting to get inquiry from

(13:00):
talent agencies about signing her probably like it really was
like that half assed yeah, and so many journalistic outlets
like so we talked about that. We talked about how
it was like really assuming a lot to be like, yeah,
this is gonna work. There's not much footage of her,

(13:21):
Like if you don't want that, stuff that's available is terrible.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
If you look at the videos that they're sharing, like
it's all the same like five minutes of footage of
this AI actress and this person like brought like revealed
it at some conference and then said in an interview
that they were getting inbound inquiries from talent agencies.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
But it was also like part of a work of satire.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
In some ways, like, yeah, but it's not because she
launched a whole talent agency studio for it.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
It's like, okay, sure you.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Can lull your way into the AI scam, but yeah, anyway,
read the headlines and because there's again in every way
they're trying to give people all kinds of weird impressions
and if you actually reader, like this is actually the
opposite of what you're implying in your headline, and I
just think it's just a sad state of things where
journalisms kind of are not even journalism, like content online content.

(14:17):
Mastuerating his news kind of means three hours ago, meet
Tilly Norwood, the AI actress making Hollywood very nervous. Yeah,
it's just like, I don't I don't know. Meet Tilly Norwood,
the AI actress whose creator is launching a AI talent
agency and claims that yeah is getting inbounding.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Or at this Tillia Norwood fucking sucks shit. Yeah, not
that good.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, and the inventor is capin doesn't know where to
lock her eyes. The one thing that actors are really
good at, uh cannot do anything with eye contact trouble
with one simple trick actors don't want you to know
that's true.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
They and I'm not. I'm actually not allowed to say it.
It involves eye line and throat acting.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
Uh, let's see my overrated products with like philosophy on
their box or like their their marketing material is like
written in a philosophical way. We have you know, our
kids like cereal. We have like these kids cereals that
are you know, the cleaner alternative in quotes to sure

(15:34):
you know, like posts and uh general mills and shit.
But like the this is just from their cereal box.
We believe in better. We believe in better health and
better taste. We believe in better breakfast. We believe in
better options like whole grains and non GMO ingredients. Better
is a simple idea that holds a whole bunch of promise.

(15:56):
That's why we've believed in better from the start. Why
are you you running for president on the Democratic ticket?
What do you tell like such just like mealy mouthed
DNC bullshit.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
It's also in the same way that like, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:13):
People have pointed out that the Democratic Party, you know,
there's a definition of fascism as like co opting the
language of the left right, and it's like what it's
what rushes in when there is a need for change
that leftist politics would deliver, but it that is being blocked,
and so they take the language of movements and revolution

(16:36):
and put it towards the exercise of power for power
sake and like controlling people and violence. But I think
like marketing has been doing this four years, and I
think it's only going like as people are more and
more desperate. I don't know, I feel like it will
only ring more and more hollow to people when you

(16:56):
know it's on, like shampoo bottles is everywhere, man like
reading that, yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yeah, it's such wasted space.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Like I feel like I had this same experience after
the fire because there's so many like home goods and like, yeah,
you're donated, like it's all the trees and stuff, and
like you're reading like it's lotion and there's like a
fucking story on it about what this company was, Like
I don't know, dude, does it fucking work?

Speaker 1 (17:21):
And like, I'm not going to read this.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
I'm not compelled by it because I think most of
the time people are just like is it affordable?

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Right? Great?

Speaker 2 (17:28):
I don't give a fuck about your like weird backstory
you're trying to create.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
We got a.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Little literature for you to read before you open your bar,
soap twenty dollars. Right, but yeah, I mean I talked
last week about the language of community being appropriated. Like
the hospital that I was at last week called a
waiting room a town square. And I feel like like

(17:53):
malls have been doing that shit forever, Like marketing is
just very good at sensing what is needed and just
like appropriate what he's lacking. Yeah, just like pumping it
into our veins, like the false version of right now
that we long for for a good reason. Yeah, it's
like right now people are really aspiring to not feel alone.

(18:13):
So let's just do a little tweaks. Let's let's get
in there a couple of tweaks. Man, all right, let's
take a quick break and we'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
And we're big. Oh, we're back, all right. Some news
from the courts.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Diddy has been sentenced to five years yeah yeah, yeah,
fifty months in prison, which I'm just trusting their math
on this one. That equals out to about five years
four Let me see, four times twelve is forty eight
oh two.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
But he also did one already.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Has done a year already the year already. I mean,
he's gonna appeal, I'm sure, but yeah, either way, he's
he was sentenced to last at the end of last
week for transportation to engage in prostitution I think was
the actual charge that he.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
Was convicted of.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
So yeah, that that seems to be nearing an endpoint
for that saga. But then inother nudes, other news, did
I say other nudes?

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Yeah, yeah, you could.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
You did say that, Yeah, that's that was another time
Glaine Maxwell, she was hoping the Supreme Court would do
her a solid and she's like, I need my case thrown.
I overturned my conviction because of the deal that was.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Made with the Costa. Uh.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
They they were very they just quickly rejected that attempt,
and I you know, I think, you know, she was
hoping to get a retrial, but apparently it was a
bridge too far for a high court that has been
on a streak of being on the worst side of
recorded history.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
So I was surprised.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
I mean I was, and I wasn't surprising, like that's
just such an abject failure. But again, it's been abject
failure after abject failure. Yeah, so she will continue to
serve her twenty year sentence a pretty nice prison and
a pretty nice prison, Yeah, she because she tried to
help the DOJ act like Donald Trump has nothing to

(20:25):
do with anything Epstein ever did, and be like, well,
I never saw anything untoward. Her reward was to be
moved to a low security prison, which violated their own
regulations in terms of having like sex.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
Criminals in there.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
At least she's now hanging out with Elizabeth Holmes and
Jen Shaw from the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
They're all on necessary So I mean to me in
this prison for reasons I don't want to get into.
I don't deserve this. They keep making me put money
in their accounts. Their commentsary.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
All right, so we all remember the Army Birthday parade, True,
and it didn't go that well. That was back in June.
The I think defining image for me was the tanks
silently squeaking alone, driving down the streets.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Of Washington, d C. To like a handful of people.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
And I'm just like, like sounding like just the oldest
bed possible.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, just the squeakiest tanks ever. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
So Trump kind of took that in as an l
and he was like, we're doing the Navies two hundred
and fiftieth birthday celebration, and it's gonna be macho, be manly, macho.
Basically a military stunt show is what he wanted. And
he got it because they know he's dumb, and they're like,
just make it loud and a bunch of shit happening,

(21:50):
and he's gonna love it. There was like a jet
that had like President Trump like emblazoned on it, and
he's like, yes, great, good, Like what else could you
make it look look like it's a transform that transforms
into me exactly exactly. Then he you know, there's like
jets flying overhead. They just shot a bunch of shit
into the sea like missiles, and like Artiller, it's just

(22:10):
like stupid, just like and make the guns go boom like.

Speaker 1 (22:14):
A bang bang.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Also, how they did Charlie Kirk's memorial the person who there,
you know, everybody was mourning and they turned it like
it looked like a WWE wrestling event of course, like
there was just explosions and fireworks and just some of
the wildest shit.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
I mean, yeah, this is a huge thing.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
I remember when my grandmother passed away, they were trying
to prevent me from doing a pyrotechnics display in the funeral.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Home, and they won but one again. Yeah yeah, not
Trump's America, but so yeah, they they.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
He also had a bunch of sailors who aren't even
being paid right now because of they shut down chanting
the USA. I know people who went to an air
show this weekend and like he had to settle for
the Canadian Air Force because all the US air forces
come down here, I know, presumably like on a bunch

(23:08):
of planes.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
Made out of wood maple syrup.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
Yeah, but they the official explanation was like that, you know,
there's a government shutdown, but apparently they were all just
doing the big boom booms for dadda. Yeah, he did
tell them, He's like, look, guys, I know you're not
getting paid, but I got you.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
I got you.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Which everyone wants to hear when they're owed money is
the reassurances that Donald Trump has their back. But yeah,
like he would. And while he was at this birthday,
he gave us I guess we call it a speech.
I think to anyone who hasn't ever had an elderly
relative and an assisted living facility that you went to
visit and they just are like, please don't leave.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
Please, Can I tell you all kinds of things talking.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah, he did a lonely old man monologue for a
captive audience, and rather than talking about any thing relevant,
he just it was all over the place. He just
did the same shit half the country as your fucking enemy.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Wow, fucking terrifying.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
And then he said this ship there's this like lie
he's been saying. Where he fucking knew he's he said
he was. He flagged bin Laden as like being a
problem a full year before nine.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
To eleven happened. Knew it and I knew it. And
in this he's talking about it. And I told Pete.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
I don't know if he meant recently, like he's like
I was just telling Pete or maybe he's anyway, here's
Donald Trump saying I wrote a book I think where
I think I said, oh Po Sama Obama, bin Laden
was bad.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Here here's Trump true.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
But I said one year before to Pete Hegseth, I said,
one year before Wispy in the book, I wrote whatever
that held the title. I can't tell you, but I
can't tell you there's a page and they're devoted to
the fact that I saw somebody named Osama bin Laden
and I didn't like it, and you gotta take care
of him.

Speaker 1 (24:58):
They didn't do it.

Speaker 3 (24:59):
A year later he blew up the World Trade Center.
So you gotta take a little credit because nobody else
is going to give it to me, you know, the
old sort. They don't give you credit, Just take it yourself.
And it was the US Navy that.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
Dumped anyways, in the Navy, you guys get rid of
his body or body over yeah, yeah, yeah, the name
of the book or whatever the hell it was called.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
I mean, to be fair, why would he remember a thing?
He absolutely put no work into it all. Yeah, so
I think I guess it's fair that he wouldn't know that,
But it also just the claim is utter bullshit. Like
the thing he's talking about in the book was basically
a description about how the news cycle would like move
on from one villain to the next. They're they're too

(25:43):
hard on this guy bin Laden. Yeah, they're just looking
for the villain of the week. Well, it goes been
Laden to me to you know, everybody's gotta go. You
gotta go take care of it.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
You know what I mean, you gotta take care of him.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
But again, he was just sort of like it's it's
not him saying he's a clear and present danger. He
just sort of like mentions the name and he's like, yeah,
there's a whole page in there. The guy that I
had wrote the bike right right, the book for me
put in there. Yeah, there were good so many like that.
That's a thing that we now know is that nine
to eleven could have been avoided because everybody, fucking everybody

(26:21):
knew been loud. Like you've bin Laden was already famous. Yeah, yeah,
I was deeply unplugged from the world at that time.
I could have told you bin Laden wasn't a huge
fan of the United States like he was. He was
a celebrity. They were doing like interviews with him on
fucking sixty minutes and shit about like how this guy
he was like the face of global terror.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, and he's like I said, bad guy.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
He's a bad ombre and nobody gives me credit for that.
It's like what I think everyone did, you fucking weird.
I mean, also, like you just remember the fucking USS
coal bombing. That was like from I think for most
people who maybe weren't in totally in tune. That was
like the beginnings of Osama people being like Osama bin Laden. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
He gave that speech backed by a sea of sailors
looking like the cast from a Broadway musical about the Navy.
I didn't know they did those little like navy blue
bandanas around their neck.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Still, it's like they look like little boy blue. Like
it's it's so cute.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
But they're all just standing there, you know that after
the you know, failed army parade, like they juiced this
and after Pete Hegseeth's like they seem remarkably comfortable just bombing.
You know, they're away up there, just rambling on, and
everyone's just like it's because they can't read the room,

(27:42):
you know, they have no they just think because people
are physically there, because they've been ordered to means you know,
total enthusiasm. And while there are many people who are
enthusiastic about it, like they're just so used to being
around sikaphants, it's just the mere presence of people as
they talk as always like and this is a friend,
the audience that I can't bomb in front of even

(28:02):
if I tried. They loved me, folks. They wrote my
name on a plane and made a go boom.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
They shot a missile into the air. We all right.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
The Trump administration continues to use ICE to evade US cities,
as Trump described it to be a testing ground, a
practice for war.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
In Chicago.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
He also mentioned, as we talked about last week, that
he was planning on targeting Portland, but in an emergency
hearing on Sunday, US District Judge Karen Immergut temporarily blocked
the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops from Texas
and California to Portland. That was the second time that
she had to do that, so she like put a

(28:43):
block on them using the Oregon National Guard. And then
they were like okay, well she didn't say we couldn't
do Texas and California, and so she was like, I
mean okay, well implied, okay, fine anywhere then.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
The lawyer that was representing the administration, like the judge
asked like, are you just trying to circumvent my order
by then just being like well if it can't be
or the woobo California, Texas, Yeah, yeah, and I mean
the again, it's a war quote unquote war zone in Portland,
and not because of DHS goons deploying there and pepper

(29:21):
Spring and like releasing chemical munitions on protesters. It's because
it's such a war zone. It's out of control. I mean,
don't look at the crime statistics. Apparently it's one of
the safest places in the US. But look, that's not
the point. It's to inflict as much pain and suffering
on these democratically led cities as possible.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
But you know, it's Portland.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
Obviously, this is a liberal activist judge. Who oh wait,
it's a Trump appointee.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Previously we're up the US District Attorney for Oregon after
being appointed by George W.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Bush.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Before that, she worked for Kenneth Starr during the Bill
Clinton sex scandal.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yeah, but that's the thing.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Yeah, kind of a conservative judges to like hold hold
things together. That's yeah, exactly, good things are, right, Like
I mean the con I mean, like I'm kind of
a backwards person, but the Constitution, I still think you
got to like I agree that part at least we
overlap on that thing.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
That part.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
Yeah, but yeah, like I mean this is like one
of those things or even like the like you know
Portland police or even like, yeah, we didn't really witness
any criminal activity from protesters. This is just they're they're
fucking These federal agitators are coming in and again doing
every single thing they can to try and escalate the situation,
to begin to really clamp down on everything like free

(30:42):
speech and like militarizing cities.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
But yeah, the tour continues. I mean, miles, you're in
the near the war zone outside of the capitol. Yeah,
it's a war zone.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Just walking you just keeping your head down, bullet sailing
over your head.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Well what do you yeah? People, man?

Speaker 2 (31:01):
I went to a pub to watch Arsenal play over
the weekend with comedian Jamel Johnson. Who's who's out here
right now? So we hung out for a second and
it was crazy. There are these two black guys smoking
weed together who looked like comedians. Could have been me,
I don't know, or some other guy. It's it smells
like weed all over the place. There's a lot of

(31:23):
people wearing boat shoes. Just an absolute war zone out here,
you knowable war zone, all those boat shoes. Like when
being around SEC call like SEC football fans is actually, man,
when you start seeing motherfuckers pull up in their golf
polos for like Clemson or like I think North Carolina

(31:46):
played Clemson over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
And just the amount of golf poles.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
So it's like this is what DC like, this is
they're here, baby, you need an sec golf polo there here.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
And it was my favorite thing. I kept fucking with people.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
I'd be like, come on, I guess, come on, tigers,
and I'm like, yeah, man, I don't even know what
they're fucking saying. Are yeah, oh all right, tar heels
are like hell yeah, man, right, okay, I just like tigers. Nah,
that's tiger uppercut. You know, that's street fighter. Just a

(32:21):
bunch of dudes in polos tucked into their khakis with
like fluffy bangs, just saying fair enough, fair enough to
each other, the fuck you dude, all right, fair enough,
fair enough. Fu you fuck the tar heels. We're going
fair enough, dude, We're going there, all right, fair enough. Anyways,

(32:43):
let's take get another quick break, we'll come back. We'll
talk t Swift and others at the movie Yeah, and
to her back. And this weekend was about a different

(33:04):
kind of swift boats. Uh, Taylor Swift fucking John Kerry reference. Uh,
Taylor Swift pulled a boat and uh it was a
big one. It was the life of a show girl
cruise ship.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
I'm gonna stop with this metaphor.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
Dropped on Friday, got uh pretty mixed for reviews. You know,
I think the people that I follow on social media
were uh poised to not love it, and so that's
mostly what I got.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
I Swift the lyrics that I was like, for real.

Speaker 4 (33:42):
For real.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
I had to ask a swift y to be like, what,
what's your take, because there's a like on on in
social media. There's either people who are like, yeah, it's
not bad, and other people are like this is such
a fucking l for Taylor Swift, like what the fuck
is this album at all? Yeah, or people being like
you're too old to be talking about ship like this now,
like fucking get it together. And when I asked a friend,
they're like, it's always just going to be like this.

(34:04):
Like if you if you live to hear Taylor Swifts
and music, then another Taylor Swift album is what you want,
but also said it's not my favorite.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
It's like the.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
Light Scaling review that I got, but not to the
point of like it's fucking ll city.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
But the movie.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
When I went to go see one Battle after another,
I didn't realize that there was this thing happening and
I was like, what the fuck are all these kids doing?
One after another? Is doing great with this next generation?
I was like, are these kids here to see one?
I mean, okay, man, teach the uh they're handing on
friendship bracelets. This is so cute for one battle after another. Yeah.

(34:42):
So she did another thing with the you know, we
talked about how her Eras tour live events that like
went through movie theaters. It was basically a concert film,
limited limited, a dish concert film, like broke box office
records for that sort of thing.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
When she did that last year during the Eras tour.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
So this time she did something kind of different where
it was basically it's like a listening party to like
an album release party where it's like a listening party
where everyone kind of sits around listens to the music.
And it was the number one movie at the box office.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, I believe it. I mean, whatever she puts out,
people are like, yeah, I'm having it. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:23):
So three day release event made thirty three million domestically,
but it was just an eighty nine minute mix of
music videos, behind the scenes footage, and a series of
lyric videos for tracks on her new album. It easily
beat The Smashing Machine, which did poorly almost six craze.
But yeah, that wasn't I don't think that was what
we were looking for from the rock on That one

(35:45):
from from the rock fans should have been that Taylor
Swift movie. You should have you know, exactly there. But
people were saying that there was potentially there was AI
being used in some of the promotional videos for this
Taylor Swift thing, and a lot of it like, oh
my god.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Fuck yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
So the the reviews ranged from Rolling Stone gave it
five out of five stars, just when the world thought
Swift couldn't climb any further.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
Is how one part of the review started.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
Sounds like a compromised review right there.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
At gunpoint.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
No, but I mean, some people are gonna love this shit,
some people are, you know, not going to be feeling it.
The Guardian, on the other hand, which this this feels
like more in line with the consensus. Again, my consensus
just might be haters, just based on social media. But
they called it dull razzle Dazzle from a star who
seems frazzled.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Okay, I don't even like that either. Well, I will
not accept rhyming.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Fucking I'm sorry, Like I also can't take you seriously anymore. Yeah, yeah,
dull razzle dazzle from a star starzled next at eleven.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
But the main thing that I see people talking about,
there's a couple songs that jumped out to people where
people are like doing lyric videos or just like videos
of people listening to the song for the first time
and just being kind of like getting the ick. You
get to, like what witness somebody like feel like gross

(37:13):
as as they hear the song for the first time.
But there there's one song that appears to be devoted
entirely to Travis Kelsey's dick. It's called Wood Oh well,
we don't know Jack for sure.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
So we're just gonna go through the lyrics and we're
gonna let you guys make up your mind. Uh all right,
So forgive me it sounds cocky. He amatized me and
opened my eyes Redwood Tree. It ain't hard to see
his love was the key that opened my thighs Amatized

(37:48):
is interesting? Is you're just trying to say digmatized and
didn't want to say and I don't think wanted to
say that. Yeah, that would be too on the nose
for my song would about the redwood tree that opened
mind thighs? No clue what girls, I don't need to
catch the bouquet to know a hard rock is on
the way.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
And baby, I'll admit I've been a little superstitious.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
The curse on me was broken by your magic wand
seems to be that you and me we make our
own luck.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
New Heights, New Heights.

Speaker 4 (38:18):
All.

Speaker 2 (38:19):
Oh wow, we're referencing the pod that's wowed to reference
your husband's podcast and Dick in the same song.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
Yeah, I mean it's the dream.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Really, now I know what to ask her majesty for
a gift.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
This is what love is. I do feel like there.
I wish I could find the tweet.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
But somebody was like, described like Taylor Swift marrying Travis
Kelcey is like, yeah, but I mean I get it.
She's getting like fucked by an oak tree the first time.

Speaker 4 (38:49):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
And that appears to have been a potent metaphor that
might have caught on New Heights of Manhood. I ain't
got a knock on wood? Do you think he's got
a tiny one? And that's is this some cope? No,
I don't. I don't think he has a tiny one.
I feel like this is her being like goddamn, uh

(39:13):
like that boy got some meat. I think he's got
some meat.

Speaker 1 (39:17):
I wonder if he has.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
That is the next follow up, she just gets some
more explicit. We're like, yeah, we know it. She's likes
called Travis's cock. In case you didn't know what I
meant talking about his implement. You know what I'm saying,
all right, guys, his penis is huge. He's got to
have with penis that's hard and that I can knock
on it. It's like wood. Did anybody ever used that

(39:39):
metaphor before calling uh erect penises?

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Wood? Or did I just make me? I'm kind of
genius is what people don't realize. The thing about me.
I found new way the phrase morning wood when I
was in high school.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Well glad good for her. You know, I'm kind the
heart of a poet. I'm sure also to like with everything.
That probably also has to be a veiled shot at
an ax too. Who's going to say, oh, yeah, you
hear that and be like, he has a redwood tree,
but what about the fuck my humble bond si as
I call it, yeah, my sapling. We always referred to

(40:16):
it as my sapling. And you said that you thought
that was fine? Well, all right, I think in good news.
Italy was shut down to protests Israeli genocide. Basically, most
of Italy shut down on Friday thanks to a one
day general strike, which saw public transportation and schools close

(40:37):
as protesters flocked to the streets in support of Gaza
and the global flotilla. More than two million people in
Italy attended rallies. The national average participation in the general
strike stood at around sixty percent, which is really cool
to see. Yeah, I mean there's even I know in
Amsterdam there's like hundreds of thousands of people who came out.

(41:00):
I mean it's yeah, what else, what else can you do?
At this point? I mean, I know that that whole
piece deal that was being bandied around last week. Trump
kept extending the deadline and then like the thing from
Homas was like, we'll agree to the first ten maybe,
but the other ten, like let's not even acknowledge that
right now.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
And Trump was like that's a good sign. That's a
good sign. Who were making progress? Baby?

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Yeah, So god, it's this is just such a long winded,
like terrible thing. And then also, you know, Greta Tunberg
came back, she was deported finally and even said like surprise, surprise,
and terrible treatment when they were apprehended. Yeah, they had
video of them coming on and like pointing assault weapons

(41:46):
at these unarmed, peaceful protesters. You know, they had tried
to scramble their ability to capture it, but they were
they were able to get video of it. Yeah, because
they were saying like there's she was like, well a
place went fested with bed bugs and they're like trying
to get her to pose with like the flag and
shit is varied. But they again, the officials, they are
like our lives, those are lives.

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Those are lives. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:10):
The fascist leader in Italy, Maloney, claimed that the massive
protest was politically motivated and targeted her in her right
wing government.

Speaker 1 (42:19):
So, oh my.

Speaker 2 (42:19):
God, that is the saddest shit to try and be like,
yeah it's about me.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
Yeah, it's because I'm doing such a terrible job. Yeah,
I need it to be about me.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
Itakes three hundred thousand people march through the streets of
Rome alone, while the national average participating yet was sixty percent,
So that halted all the main services and key sectors,
including transportation in schools. So just another cool thing that
unions can do for you. Yeah, or just people working collectively,
you know. Yeah, tools down, collective action. All right, those

(42:50):
are some of the things that are trending on this
Monday morning and afternoon.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
We are back tomorrow with the whole last episode of
the show.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Yeah, then be kind to each other, be kind to yourself,
get your vaccines while you still care, get your flu shots.
Don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
to you all tomorrow. Bares the Daily Zeite Guys is
