Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of trend
the Knee Trended. Uh it's Thursday, Yeah, it's Wednesday. We're
just traveling all over this damned country, coming out to
see you folks. You find folks of America and shake
your hands, kiss your babies, babies, hold him weird in

(00:22):
a photo like go Biden, Can you imagine me holding
a stranger's baby? And oh no, how badly that would
It would be worse than when Biden gripped that baby
by the crotch, by the diaper. Oh man, Uh, well,
let's talk about what's trending, Miles. Yeah, um, Wes Anderson

(00:42):
is the number one trending thing. People are really starting
to uh come around to this Wes Anderson like, because yeah,
this this was because we we talked yesterday that he
was trending because the first poster came out for his
new movie, French Dispatch, and now the trailer has come
out and it looks very Wes Anderson could be a

(01:05):
mashup of what other Wes Anderson movies. This is what
I'm curious about. It looks great because like all his
films are shot beautifully. I'm I'm not i mean, look,
do people go to his films because they love the
symmetry and like, you know, like most I know a
lot of people who's like home esthetic like is almost
informed by Wes Anderson films. I feel, I don't know

(01:27):
if like it's the films or it's the visuals too
that are really the hook point, because he is so
insistent on like center framing and having symmetry in his
frames that I'm curious if he were to do a
film that was a complete departure from that, like complete departure,
what if people are like, what that would look like?
That's a good question. I don't know. I don't know.

(01:48):
I don't think he ever would, though I know what
you get with the Western films. I mean, maybe maybe
he'll have another period of his career, but um, like yeah,
I think that, like I don't know, that is the
art that appeals to him clearly, and he it just
doesn't seem like it's going to change the only thing

(02:08):
he seems like he's getting better. Like there, I wasn't
crazy about Life Aquatic or the Darjeeling Limited. I thought
he's sort of lost his way on those two. And
then I love the music No Life aquatic. I became
the biggest so George fan after that. That was pretty dope.
But the music, I thought, the hotel one is Jesus Christ.

(02:34):
I didn't get any sleep last night. My brain just
text Joe will come bio three three Joe. I mean
they look the castle looks good. It's pretty much everyone credible.
It's it's almost everybody. It's pretty much everybody been nominated. Yeah,
Jeffrey Wright, Francis McDorman, Bill Murray, Adrian Brody, Benicio Shallowman. Yeah,

(03:00):
Shalman is in there. Everybody in a bathtub in the trailer. Um.
And it looks like it's like a story told in
different answer something. Yet, Um, it looks dope as fuck
to me, a Wes Anderson fan. Um. Sarah Sanders is trending,
I think because she's trolling people, trolling the world reality.

(03:23):
She says that Trump will have problems with African Americans
and women and that his language is atrocious. Oh, I'm
sorry she said that about Bloomberg. Uh. And then she
did a joke. No, I don't think it was a joke.
I think she was just really that was you were doing.
I was doing a joke. Oh, I thought she was saying, Yeah,

(03:45):
that would have been funnier if she was. I'm I
know I'm succeeding in my job when you think that
a joke I made was a Sarah Sanders joke, because
a lot of people have said that our aesthetic and
just sensibility as some so definitely for the makeup. Yeah, yeah,
he that that makes sense? Yeah, that um that. I

(04:12):
don't even know what to say, you know, because that's
so clear about what do we say here? You work
for mr Mr racist woman hater, Mr racist rapists, person
who just talks open ship, talks about how they com
murder somebody in the street, just says things that make
it impossible to explain the world to your child in

(04:34):
public all the time. And I mean, you look, it's
either a troll or or like some of these people,
they are so up their own asses they can't hear
anything their own thoughts. Yeah, is that what it sounds
like up there? You just hear your own thoughts. Actually,
when I trying flexible, I've tried, I've only been able
to barely get my forehead to touch Oh wow, yeah, alright,

(04:57):
Well we're both working on it. So what we'll work
on that come to the lives. I wasn't checking our progress,
which is basically us. I haven't read some for Us
for an hour and a half more or less. Mcaulay
Culkin is trending. Uh, this is news to me. Yeah,
you audition for a Tarantino movie, the audition for Once
upon a Time in Hollywood. Uh and apparently when not good,

(05:19):
he says, quote it was a disaster. I wouldn't have
hired me, is what McAuley colgan says. I'm terrible auditioning anyway,
and this was my first audition in like eight years.
Oh boy, I mean, I don't know. You know, the
last serious work of his that I saw was maybe
microL and I felt he was on a trajectory for
dramatic roles. But if it's been eight years and then

(05:41):
you're stepping into a Tarantino audition to I don't even
what part would he have played? Maybe one of those
guys that do gets beat up on the horse, Yeah,
I think on the horse. Probably he would have been
Brad Pitt's part. Another thing I like in this article,
he's like he's sitting for the record, please refer to
him as mac holly was some y was his past

(06:03):
a dude who secured the bag, you know what I mean? Um,
I also just can't I want do you think Tarantino
really wanted mccalli Culkin? It seems like it wasn't there.
I'm sorry, Mac Mac, Yeah, sorry, I didn't know who
you were talking about. But it seemed like a lot
of the performers who played people on the ranch were

(06:27):
like second generation Hollywood or something. A couple of them. Yeah. Yeah,
maybe there was some idea that like it was stunt casting.
There's like a meta narrative a dozen people. Yeah, um,
should have got his brother. Man, that's that's the dude
who's killing there. You know, very good, very I thought

(06:50):
it was yeah, Keran Culkin, right, yeah? Two year old tricycle?
Is that just being is that trending side of money? Bay? Okay?
Two year old tricycle? I mean those are those are dope.
I looked on the Google like real time searches and
it says toddler childcare tricycle and I'm like, in a
bunch of different ways, and I'm like, oh, no, what's

(07:11):
going on. There's nothing. There's nothing bad here, nothing, No
one was injured, But this is what happened a two
year old boy escaped from his daycare okay, and the
police found him riding on a tricycle in thirty five
degree weather and they just pulled up on this kid
and like you're trying to go home. The kid could

(07:32):
barely like, you know, he's young, he didn't really know
what the folks going on. He was disoriented, he was
like soaked. Apparently, so they had to go to this
daycare center, which has had four similar complaints in less
than five years. Apparently is an annual escape escape from
daycare toddler fest going on over there. Um. They pulled
up and they're like, yeah, so we're gonna have to

(07:52):
you're in trouble for misdemeanor here for a child endangerment um.
But they were saying that the front door of this
home daycare didn't have a dead bolt and it was
easy for a toddler to just reach up and open
the door. And I think prior to that they were saying, like, yeah,
we tried to explicit with the police officer said, we
tried to explain to her maybe some childproofing, maybe door

(08:13):
knob covers, you know, if she's watching more than one kid,
maybe get an alarm or something on the door, so
if the door opens, there's a beeping sound. Like even
the way this quote comes off sounds like he shouldn't
have to be telling someone who owns a child breadcare, Like, yeah,
so here's the bare minimum for a child. Get your
knife collection off the floor. Um, like, maybe let's let's

(08:35):
let's put something. Let's cover these sockets rather than leaving
forks cocktail forks by the sockets. Do you ever, is
that your fear as a as a parent, like at
a child daycare, like your kid gets out. Yeah, well,
I mean I I I leave them at a place
that board them very securely, and uh yeah, I mean

(08:55):
you're you're you have a million concerns when you leave
your child with somebody who's not you. Uh, one of
them being you know, their physical security and location, and
you know a hundred others being what they will experience
that day that will change you know them forever, them forever.

(09:17):
They have a very limited number of experiences that that
at that age, and they're so fucking formative. Yeah, Like
I can think of like things like when even I'll
go to therapy or some ship and I try and
really think back, I'm like, oh, ship that came from
like my first hockey coach or some ship. Yeah, do
you ever, Um, have you ever been surprised by, like
you not trusting somebody you love with your child? No, okay,

(09:42):
you've never You've never been like, I don't know, I've
never trusted anybody with my child. Oh you're saying just
my own mother, right? No? No, I I pretty much
have always trusted uh our family with her with her kids.
Because you know, sometimes I've heard people with hot takes,
like with some of my friends who have children now,
like who are have like young children, kind of like

(10:04):
hearing them like the between the mother and father, like
the parents talking about like I don't know that about
so and so, and like I get it if that
person is a scoundrel, but it's funny when you hear
them talk about that, like about a sibling or like yeah, yeah,
well maybe that has something to do with not his child. Yeah. No,
it's pretty I trust most of the people in my family.

(10:28):
I mean, you trusted me watch your kids, and I
brought over my knife collection in my cocktail forks, Dude,
I had a I had a babysitter when I was seven,
who did the actual like knife through the hand, like yeah, yeah,
like or it's an old navy sailor game. Right basically wait,
he was hooking, like being like, yo, you want to
took some something dope and then like doing the knife

(10:50):
and between his fingers like back and forth. While we
were like seven years old. I remember I busted my
ship out of my hand with a mechanical pencil doing
it doing sixth grade. Yeah, And that's the worst it
was because at a certain point I was getting hot
with it, like if people were cheering, and I'm like,
oh ship, I'm going out of body. And then I
came down so hard and I couldn't say anything. I

(11:12):
was just like, oh I did it. And then like
I was just like oh no. And anyways, another chance
considered our live show. Come on, come on, come on,
let's do amateur yoga and some old sailor knife games.
All right, guys, let's gonna do it for this afternoon.

(11:33):
We'll be back tomorrow with another podcast, and we would
talk to you then Bye bye.
