Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of trend
in nine two five. That one courtesy of Snarfula on
the Discord in honor of Dally Pardon.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah seems fine, seems definitely fine, definitely fine.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is mister
Miles grad. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
A little talk tracted.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I just got an email from the former cable company
I was with saying they just charged me for this
month's bill, so I'm gonna have to go break my
foot off in someone's But.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh, you have canceled, canceled. Oh you were serious about that.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
That was that phone call when I was telling the
lady who was in Dallas about how LA is not
burning down.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Oh wow, I think she fucked me.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I think I know who your company is, and A'm
about they canceled with them as well.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
I think you would because my process of elimination, there's
only two available in LA.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It's it's crazy, fucking stupid.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
And then I said no, They're like, well, we'll give
it to you for free, and I'm like, I don't
want it.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Because in two years you're going to start charging me
five hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Fucking six months, these freaks.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Anyway, Anyways, Hey, speaking of these freaks, Miles, Yeah, young
Republicans said a group chat between young Republicans was just
leaked to the press, and I think we get into
the content of what they said. It's important to note
(01:38):
because young Republicans can cover like anything from like a
fucking high school club, college club.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
These are yeah, right, right, aspiring racists are only in
eighth grade.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, the participants in question in the in this chat
are not just to quote Politico, We're not just random
teens popping off between classes. Some of the as Republicans
are in their thirties and are currently working for elected
officials ostensibly serving the public. One Samuel Douglas of Vermont,
(02:08):
is even a sitting state senator. Yeah, and the state's
Republican governor, Phil Scott, wasted a little time in calling
for Douglas's resignation. So just in that context the content
of the chat, they were referring to black people as monkeys,
using the N word repeatedly.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
With alternative spellings.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Oh yeah, they were getting creative with they were using license.
They got they got bored with spelling it. The normal
way and went, yeah, using poetic license to just really
explore the space on the.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Honestly, they were creating Mussler as I had not heard before,
and unfortunately that is art we did. Unfortunately that has
that will be at This will be put up in
the Kennedy Center.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
This will be honored at the Kennedy Center.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, talked about putting their political opponents in the gas chamber.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oh yeah, they were talking about redesigning gas chambers.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
So anything that rape is quote epic and at one
point flat out stated I love Hitler.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I like though too that They were like, dude, if
this shit gets leaked, were cooked for real?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
For real?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Right, You're like, yeah, uh huh uh huh.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
This is just I think.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
What's interesting to me it's it's not surprising that Republicans
are racist, unabrated racists. It's the posturing of other established
Republicans who are pretending that this isn't how they talk
all the time, right, you know what I mean, Like, Oh,
this has no place in this party at all. What
(03:44):
the fuck are you saying? This is like the whole
brand of it. So it's just funny to see people
just like put themselves to the ringer, trying to act
as if this is like abhorrent behavior, yeah, when it
seems pretty much part for the course for what I
see from the GOP.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, it's just like saying the stuff behind the ideology
that they're actively and violently exploding across the phase of
this country. You know, it's the things that you would
expect based on that, but you know they were saying
it in all the ways. William Hendrix, the Kansas Young
Republicans vice chair, used the N word constantly more than
(04:22):
a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, the vice
chair of the New York State Young Republicans, again, so
these are like people in positions of power, was the
one who referred to rape as epic. Peter Junta, was
the chair of the same organization, said that everyone that
votes know on a particular thing, is going to the
(04:42):
gas chamber, and so yeah, it's just like, yeah, these
are all these are not minor figures in the Republican Party.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
No, no, no, no, this is these are people who
work either in office themselves, are heading up a Young
Republican like one I think as the legal council for
one state Young Republican group. Others work for sitting elected
officials and again like the Board of Young Board of
Directors for the Young Republican National Federation. But this is
(05:13):
like just so empty when these other Republicans are trying
to act like this is shocking to them. Quote, we
are appalled by the violent, inexcusable language revealed in the
political article published today. Such behaviors disgraceful, unbecoming of any
Republican and stands in direct opposition to the values our
movement represents. The current movement that's disappearing people for not
(05:34):
being white. Mm hmm, okay, those involved must immediately resign
from all positions within their state and young Republican organizations.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I mean jd Vance just skipped past that part and
called it pearl clutching. He was like this pearl clutching
over a mere college group chat again, many of these
people are in their thirties and like working within the
Republican Party, And then tried to shift the conversation to
a Democratic nominee for state attorney general who didn't send
(06:05):
a text about praising Hitler did seem to voice support
in a text for political violence, but it.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Was just more that he the person was saying that
oh maybe if this other legislator's children ended up perishing
because of these backwards laws, maybe they would do something different, right,
and like sort of that hypothetical. Yeah, yeah, it's like yeah,
I mean, and sadly, in America, even when our own
young are are their lives are taken way too soon,
(06:38):
we failed to act.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
So it's it's it's.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
All a tragy all the way around. But the excuses
from some of these people is really something like again,
it's the thing. It's like they're only sorry they got caught,
you know, that's all it is. They're like otherwise they
don't give a fuck. But like one person, like I
have to review these texts, but they seem like it
could be dubious.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Are you fucking for real? Shit?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
So sorry for using racial slurs as my security password,
because that just made it very easy for people to
guess and hack into my account.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
This one, well, this is from Peter Junta. I am
so sorry to those offended by the insensitive and inexcusable
language found within the more than twenty eight thousand messages
of a private group chat that I created during my
campaign to lead the Young Republicans. While I take complete responsibility.
I have had no way of verifying their accuracy, and
I'm deeply concerned that the message logs in question may
have been deceptively doctored.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Oh I have, it would be seemingly be interesting, It
would seemingly be easy to know whether you had said
you saw the most horrendous shit.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
It's honestly the far you mean.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
That's a confirmed I can neither confirm nor deny because honestly, like, ah,
I don't know. It doesn't even jump out to me
as like being that abnormal.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Have any defense? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Do I normally say something like that, like kind of yeah,
like usually like watching sports or something.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Like, I don't know if I did it here, I
don't know. I gotta get back to you. These could
be doctored, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Moving on to chat GPT. Finally some good news. Chat
GPT will be horny this holiday season.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Horny for the holidays, just in time for the lowliest
part of the year.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
So this is an announcement from Sam Altman, who said
in December, as we roll out age gating more fully
and as part of our treat adult users like adults principles,
we will allow even more like erotica for verified adults.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Mmmm. Wow.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
So this also means like you can now use chat
GPT for like other mature applications.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
You know what I mean. You can do it all, baby.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
You can write some nasty things if you want, some
smutty books even shit.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Fucking yeah, this is it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Like the whole they're also trying to walk this tight
rope where you know, like they dialed back some of
the chat functions because they were like they were being
sued by people who are like, dude, my child took
their own life because your fucking chat bot was encouraging them.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Oh yeah, we got let me, let me crank the
dials back a little bit here, and now they're like
all right, before they solved that, they're like, all right,
as we plan to solve that, we're gonna crank things
up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Is this the first time like a major like Fortune
five hundred. I have to assume they're like one of
the most like highly valued companies.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Despite not turning a profit, Right, Is this.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
One of the first times that a company of that
size and seriousness has announced a product upgrade, almost like
Cheerio's announcing like a new pumpkin spiclaver. But the product
upgrade in question is like soon you'll be able to
fuck our product it.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I don't know. It's no, not like that.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
It feels more like when like dudes are like, Dude,
so and so is going to be eighteen in December
the countdown begins.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's more like that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
It's like, finally, now legally I can blust over this
inanimate object.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Now I can take my relationship with chat GPT to
the next level, which is like a lot of the
really scary shit that's happening is like people having deep
personal relationships with chat GPT that cause them to leave
their family or like Joe. Because chat GPT is a
yes and machine, it encourages people who have like you know,
(10:43):
nascent bad ideas to pursue those bad ideas. And if
it's coming from somebody that you really love and respect
and are in a deep personal relationship with, that can
be very powerful and dangerous. And now to be like
and now you can fuck it. Now you can yeah,
now you can better jack off using our fortune five
hundred company. It just it does like I can't remember,
(11:07):
like Berkshire Hathaway or like Coca Cola ever doing like
what I remember, like crystal Pepsi was a big breakthrough
for maybe that company, but I don't remember them talking
about like how it related to your ability to jack off.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
It was implied.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Remember when they released pepsi with the big mouth bottle.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, we all know what that was about.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
We remember when the big mouth bottle came out. Why
has the bottle mouth got to be so big? Don't
worry about if folks, if you know, you know? Or
is what was that Coca Cola campaign?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It a giddig. If you don't know, you don't go.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
That was like the thing where you collected the soda
like the bottle tops to get points and go to concerts.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Man, any one totally missed me.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Look, I my brain is a steel trap for American
marketing for some reason. But like this is also the
other thing, right there was a recent study the show
like seven hundred million adults are using chat GPT right
like right now, that's kind of like what the user
base is totally. Yeah, let's just see what happens on
this unregulated thing just now is able to go take
(12:12):
people even further down to an emotional rabbit hole, to
offer companionship and the results that are rendered there. But
they did say they're like, we're going to be careful
ya being what good?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Like, what do you mean this company that is addicted
to rocket growth.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Like this, they're going to be careful. That's cool. I
think we should be fine.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Then you can tell by Sam Altman's description of this
how little he gives a shit about the human beings
are using it. He just he said that Open Eye
had made chat gpt quote pretty restrictive to make sure
like they again, they wanted to lock it down, so
he said, we made it quote pretty restrictive to make
sure we're being careful with mental health issues. But it
pretty restrictive, but also acknowledged this approach made the chatbot
(12:56):
quote less useful and enjoyable to many users who had no.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Mental health problems. Yeah, well just ask, just ask problems. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Open a Eye is usually good at, you know, detecting
whether somebody's about to have a mental health crisis. They
are the ones who like encourage them. They're the ones
who are like, damn dog, you're kind of like neo
the way you just figured that math out, Like you've
kind of created a new math instead of being like, no,
that's incorrect. Actually the answer that you arrived at is wrong.
(13:27):
They're like, the answer you arrived at represents next level
galaxy brain thinking, and you're kind of the messiah, you
know what. So I'm glad that they're in charge of
determining if people are in it too dangerous a place
to jack off to.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Dude, people like mental health problems are making it so
not fun for everybody else the fuck. And also if
you're teetering and you you this could be the thing
that fully pushes.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Someone into full blown mental health. No, no, no, no, no, no,
we're good here, We're good here.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Okay, Well, they a bunch of sexually healthy people jacking
off to chat. GPT look treat adults like adults, and
they have them a gun if they want one.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
They know what they're doing. They're adults that get they're
they're like. The other thing that he was touting was
this like counsel unquote well being an AI, and a
lot of people pointed out They're like, okay, you have
some like AI and mental health people there, but no
one on suicide prevention or things that like are really
going to the like the next level of things to
look out for to keep people from hurting themselves or
(14:32):
endangering people.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
And they're just like, I don't know, they're probably gonna just.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
You know why we don't because every single person we
had on said this is absolutely dangerous, no matter what,
and we can't have that.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Dude, dude, we are being pretty restrictive. And that is
a legal did make me put that pretty in there?
That is a legally weight bearing pretty.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I can't say we're being actually restricted. No, dude, pretty,
you I have the beholder. Yeah, because now look, I
don't know you launched at GBT right now. See what happens.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
There's a there's a new fucking dialogue box that pops up.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
What's it say? It says, are you fucking crazy? Yes?
Or no? You're based on that, you get the one
you need?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
All right, that's right, there we go. Let's take a
quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back, and
let's see here. Donald Trump has threatened what what do
(15:36):
we got?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
What do we get? Which card do we leafing through?
Uh dossier?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Donald Trump is threatening Boston over its unspecified unrest.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
They know they have an Asian woman mayor. I think
I can get all cut right to it. I think
that's what he says code for Michelle, who is a problem.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
But yes, uh huh.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
The statement he made it is they're taking over parts
of Boston. But again like the most vague but menacing statement,
they're taking over parts of Boston. They're all going to
laugh at you. They're coming for your women and children.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
They're coming for your World Cup commemorative.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
So he's threatening to take away the World Cup matches
that are set to be played next year in suburb
and Boston that are already like sold out, exactly about
Michelle Woo, a Democrat who is the mayor of Boston,
and he called her intelligent, radical, left interesting, usual of Boston.
And I know the games are sold out, but your
(16:37):
mayor is not good. We could take them away.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I think I'm starting to see how his racism spectrum works.
Because any brown skin, they're darker complexed woman of color
is low iq low iqing. You know, the Orientals though,
they're intelligent. That's one thing you can't take away. They're
very smart. They're very smart. So I couldn't I couldn't
even go there with so who had to be like intelligent?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, just shut the fuck. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
He's also they're threatening to take the Olympics away from LA.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, go ahead, I.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Mean honestly, yeah, by all means, sir, sir, they are
taking over parts of LA. I don't know who they are,
but just yes, they are. Please, by all means, take
away the Olympics from LA.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
What a fuck? We can get them back in two seconds.
You know how much this is.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
This is where he's This is where he doesn't know
anything because he just acts like a fucking terrible pairs,
like I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Take away your dollies, take them away.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Yeah, that's how they that's how that's his form of
discipline when he doesn't realize all the capitalists are not
gonna make their monies if you take away the games.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
You were fucking with people's money in a big way.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
But he talks a big game and a lot of things,
and when it comes to taking away the rights and
physically abusing poor people without rights, he follows through in
a way that's like, oh damn, you shouldn't be able
to do that. But whenever it comes to fucking with
people's money and people he respects because they're like billionaires,
(18:13):
then it's always it's always him backtracking. It's always uh
Trump always chickens out taco, you know, like that's what
the tariffs it seems to be with everything. He doesn't
he doesn't have the backbone to fuck with people's money.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Well, yeah he doesn't.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I mean, it's just that's the thing with dealing with
someone who's so senile they can only see like two
seconds in front of them, right, and then it's like,
oh yeah, but we're I'm gonna put one hundred and
thirty percent tariffs now on everything. It's exhausting. And also
you can't take away how are you gonna do that?
Like exactly because you'ren't going to play. You know. The
(18:51):
BEIFA is fucking salivating like the cartoons for the fucking
money they're about to make in the World Cup. You're
not actually teen.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
We have breaking news turning point. USA has just announced
that they're going to do their own World Cup. They've
issued they've issued a poll to ask what kind of
soccer players people are interested in watching the English it's white,
ones who use their feet, ones who can use their
(19:21):
hands sometimes, so I think they're talking about goalies there.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
They don't seem that American football players is one of
the options.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Weird anyways, do you want to see herschel Walker play
in the World Cup?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, that's all right, that'd be something, all right. Rip
to Drew Strusman, who passed away at the age of
seventy eight after a year's long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
He was responsible. He's one of those people whose name
you may not know, literally don't. I'm responsible for some
of the most iconic movie posters of all time, including
(19:57):
Back to the Future. Oh the Marty checking his watch
with the flames going between his legs. He's an illustrator,
so these are all, like, you know, very photorealistic illustrations.
The thing John Carpent is the thing with the blinding
light coming from the face. The Guyana Park Police Academy four.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
What my favorite academy?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Citizens on Patrol where they're all in the.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yeah, all in the hot air balloon.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Okay, he also did I all right, fine et Blade
Runner and Empire Strikes Back.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I guess up. Set the fuck up Police Academy four?
He did.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Citizens on Patrol. I will say so. Citizens on Patrol
came out in the eighties. This is around, So if
you don't know, the cover of Citizens on Patrol because
you didn't exist in an age when you had to
go to Blockbuster to see which movie you were gonna
rent and just walk by Rose and Rose where the
only advertisement for the movie was the movie poster.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah, on the on the cover of VHS tapes.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
This one has all the wacky characters in a single
hot air balloon basket and they're like kind of put
you know, all coming out like a.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Bouquet of flowers.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Bobcat gold Waite is like falling out and being held up,
and z Tackleberry is firing off a massive assault weapon
into the hot air balloon.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
It's it's it's a great poster.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
That also reminded me that, like this was around the
time that those NBA like the chance that whatever NBA
team won the championship would have an illustration like this.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Oh yep, yep, shut shout out the mad Boosties, you
know stout Billy who illustrated that.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah, but I would like it feels like his his
work was pretty influential. He ripped this style off from
somebody who has already drawn. I wonder or it seems
like one of those things that just was like a necessity.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
It was like, look, I can't get Bubba Smith, Steve Gutenberg,
and fucking bobcab oult weight in the same place at
the same time to take this dang photo, so we
might as well just draw it.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
But I don't know. I mean, it's definitely I love.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I mean like that, like to your point, movie posters
did to me at that time about sixty percent of
the lifting in terms of me determining whether or not
I was going to see something. I was like, Dude,
the poster looks so cool. The box of this movie
looks cool. And then I'm like, I'm watching some weird
art film that I've never heard of because I just
went off the poster.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
But wow.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Jlo is remaking The Kiss of the Spider Woman, which
is an iconic film from the eighties in my mind,
purely because it has a scary cover art of like
a silhouette of a woman back by a spider web.
That was always like something that I would just like
kind of walk past three times and be like, yeah,
(23:02):
that looks spooky.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I mean, never forget.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Kim Catrol was in the First Police Oh, in the
First Police Academy. I thought, you're saying she was the
Spider Woman. Christmas Spider was a spider Woman. Did you
fuck with Police Academy Movies?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Oh my god, dude, heavy fucking heavy, Yeah, I fucking
Michael Winslow.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Winslow.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
You know why because they were like black people in
the movie, and they were cool like Bubba Smith as
high tower high even like hooks when she.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Was excuse me, like when you really turned up, like
that was her superpower.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
But yeah, I loved fucking Callahan sexual awakening as a child.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
This cop got big boobies. What was her name, hot
lips Callahan or like some something.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
She just went by Callu the easter Brook is the
name of the actress.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
But to two characters who who this whole thing was
like carrying big guns, hot like crazy guy gun guy,
and then she was hot hot woman gun person.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Oh yeah, when Tackle Berry like found his mirror. I
seen them all like I've seen them one where they
went to Miami, I went to the South Beach, and
one mission to Moscow with Ron Pearlman.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
That I was another mission to Moscow.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
So I never saw the first two because the first
one was rated R. The second one, I think they
go to Moscow and.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
No, I think it's like Mission to Moscow is like
the sixth installment or something.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Oh really maybe it came out the nineties. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. I started like I I went in when
Bobcat came came in. That's my dude.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I know him from like the v H one stand
up specials, you know, and uh.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
It's good to be I mean he I remember he was.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
There's a training scene he had the Mickey Mouse watch
and the ship got water and it died and he
was so sad.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Somebody's wrist watch.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
David Spade was in I think Citizen on Patrol, but
he did not make the poster as a skateboarding punk.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
And Jason Lee is actually one of those skateboarding punks too,
because he's a skater.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Hell yeah, son of Stanley.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
He's not the son of Stanley. Jason Lee is the
son of stan Lee. Yeah no, yeah for real, Yeah,
that's crazy man.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Jason Lee is the no. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Also, airports are telling Christy Nome to fuck off if
you've been in an airport security line recently. I think
I think I came back from the last time I
flew and was like yo.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
On my way to d C. I saw them. He felt.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, it's Christy Noom talking about real I d and
like you know, doing doing the secure the announcement video.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
It's totally all.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
It's everything, It's it is so Verhovini. Yeah, yeah, Verhovinian.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
It's like to have that like government figure barking at
you and like looking like that government facility telling you
what the norms are, and like no one's paying attention either.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Everyone's kind of like, dude, what the fuck is this?
Speaker 1 (26:24):
And they've been doing that, but like usually it would
be the local like mayor or something like that, and
just having it be her and like something about like
the the MegaFace that like feels very much I don't know,
processed and like coming at you from like some future dystopia.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah, because it feels like a like a physical transformation.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
You have to undergo yea to sort of prove that,
you know.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
It's like, I don't know, like if if they made scientology,
people do facelifts when they got to a certain level
of eating, right, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
You're like, oh, you know they're high up. Look at face. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
There's a good analysis in Mega Face from a just
Delfino about like how usually like one of the values
of beauty that has traditionally been respected, especially by like
traditional Republicans, is like effortlessness. You know, especially with like
the upper crust. You want to look effortless and like
you're not trying, and like they have switched. This is
(27:24):
like effort full and it's that it's like you're trying
to make a show of show that you are doing
everything within your power to embrace the mega esthetic, like
you're you want people to know because if it's effortless,
you're not making an overt nod to Donald Trump, you know,
(27:47):
it's just like you just look like that congratulations, and
so they're just going. You want, even if you haven't
had work done and had a new face put on
your skull, you want to look like you have.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Yeah, I mean, I wonder if like Caroline Levitt is
gonna like end up going.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
She's kinder, deeper. Yeah, yeah, she's.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Definitely the lips are looking fuller. But you know, like
one of those things. I mean, I haven't seen her
before pictures, but god, anyway, I saw here's the picture and.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Christie no one is I was like, oh, I remember her,
That's what I remember her. I just didn't realize they
were the same person. Like I had just been like,
that's a different face. My brain could not make sense
to the fact that they're the same person.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Yeah, Caroline Levit, it looks like she just dipping her toe.
She still kind of looks the same, but definitely is
doing some shit, doing some sheet. But then again, this
new video that's popping up, if they were basically like
TSA or the Department of Homeland Security was like asking
airports to start showing these videos at the end of
(29:00):
last week, and it's Christy Nome going. It's TSA's top
priority to make sure that you have the most pleasant
and efficient airport experience as possible while we keep you safe. However,
Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government, and
because of this, many of our operations are impacted and
most of our TSA employees are working without pay.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Damn cool.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
So a ton of major airports like in New York,
New Jersey, Nevada, Oregon watching it like all over the
country are basically refused to go along with this shit
and basically say yeah, yeah, we're all right on that shit.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Though luckily they can not hide behind but they at
least have an excuse rather than putting themselves like in
the crosshairs to be like, this is actually against.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
All the regulations we have.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
It's an airport like like political yeah, like so yeah,
we kind of can't do it.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Would love to love to accommodate you. Look, we actually
thought this video was amazing.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
We loved it. We just you. Our hands are damn tied.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
You are cooked king a puppy Secretary Gnome, and it's
so fucking.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Amazing succulent, more so than even I could have hoped.
All Right, those are some of the things that are
trending on this Wednesday, October fifteenth. We're back tomorrow with
a whole lst episode of the show. Until then, be
kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get the
vaccine while you still can get your flu shots. Don't
do nothing about white soupremacy, and we will talk to

Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of trend
in nine two five. That one courtesy of Snarfula on
the Discord in honor of Dally Pardon.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Yeah seems fine, seems definitely fine, definitely fine.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
My name is Jack O'Brien. That over there is mister
Miles grad. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
A little talk tracted.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
I just got an email from the former cable company
I was with saying they just charged me for this
month's bill, so I'm gonna have to go break my
foot off in someone's But.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh, you have canceled, canceled. Oh you were serious about that.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
That was that phone call when I was telling the
lady who was in Dallas about how LA is not
burning down.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Oh wow, I think she fucked me.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I think I know who your company is, and A'm
about they canceled with them as well.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
I think you would because my process of elimination, there's
only two available in LA.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
It's it's crazy, fucking stupid.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
And then I said no, They're like, well, we'll give
it to you for free, and I'm like, I don't
want it.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Because in two years you're going to start charging me
five hundred dollars a month.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Fucking six months, these freaks.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Anyway, Anyways, Hey, speaking of these freaks, Miles, Yeah, young
Republicans said a group chat between young Republicans was just
leaked to the press, and I think we get into
the content of what they said. It's important to note
(01:38):
because young Republicans can cover like anything from like a
fucking high school club, college club.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
These are yeah, right, right, aspiring racists are only in
eighth grade.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, the participants in question in the in this chat
are not just to quote Politico, We're not just random
teens popping off between classes. Some of the as Republicans
are in their thirties and are currently working for elected
officials ostensibly serving the public. One Samuel Douglas of Vermont,
(02:08):
is even a sitting state senator. Yeah, and the state's
Republican governor, Phil Scott, wasted a little time in calling
for Douglas's resignation. So just in that context the content
of the chat, they were referring to black people as monkeys,
using the N word repeatedly.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
With alternative spellings.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Oh yeah, they were getting creative with they were using license.
They got they got bored with spelling it. The normal
way and went, yeah, using poetic license to just really
explore the space on the.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Honestly, they were creating Mussler as I had not heard before,
and unfortunately that is art we did. Unfortunately that has
that will be at This will be put up in
the Kennedy Center.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
This will be honored at the Kennedy Center.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Yeah, talked about putting their political opponents in the gas chamber.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Oh yeah, they were talking about redesigning gas chambers.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
So anything that rape is quote epic and at one
point flat out stated I love Hitler.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I like though too that They were like, dude, if
this shit gets leaked, were cooked for real?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
For real?
Speaker 3 (03:18):
Right, You're like, yeah, uh huh uh huh.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
This is just I think.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
What's interesting to me it's it's not surprising that Republicans
are racist, unabrated racists. It's the posturing of other established
Republicans who are pretending that this isn't how they talk
all the time, right, you know what I mean, Like, Oh,
this has no place in this party at all. What
(03:44):
the fuck are you saying? This is like the whole
brand of it. So it's just funny to see people
just like put themselves to the ringer, trying to act
as if this is like abhorrent behavior, yeah, when it
seems pretty much part for the course for what I
see from the GOP.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, it's just like saying the stuff behind the ideology
that they're actively and violently exploding across the phase of
this country. You know, it's the things that you would
expect based on that, but you know they were saying
it in all the ways. William Hendrix, the Kansas Young
Republicans vice chair, used the N word constantly more than
(04:22):
a dozen times in the chat. Bobby Walker, the vice
chair of the New York State Young Republicans, again, so
these are like people in positions of power, was the
one who referred to rape as epic. Peter Junta, was
the chair of the same organization, said that everyone that
votes know on a particular thing, is going to the
(04:42):
gas chamber, and so yeah, it's just like, yeah, these
are all these are not minor figures in the Republican Party.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
No, no, no, no, this is these are people who
work either in office themselves, are heading up a Young
Republican like one I think as the legal council for
one state Young Republican group. Others work for sitting elected
officials and again like the Board of Young Board of
Directors for the Young Republican National Federation. But this is
(05:13):
like just so empty when these other Republicans are trying
to act like this is shocking to them. Quote, we
are appalled by the violent, inexcusable language revealed in the
political article published today. Such behaviors disgraceful, unbecoming of any
Republican and stands in direct opposition to the values our
movement represents. The current movement that's disappearing people for not
(05:34):
being white. Mm hmm, okay, those involved must immediately resign
from all positions within their state and young Republican organizations.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I mean jd Vance just skipped past that part and
called it pearl clutching. He was like this pearl clutching
over a mere college group chat again, many of these
people are in their thirties and like working within the
Republican Party, And then tried to shift the conversation to
a Democratic nominee for state attorney general who didn't send
(06:05):
a text about praising Hitler did seem to voice support
in a text for political violence, but it.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Was just more that he the person was saying that
oh maybe if this other legislator's children ended up perishing
because of these backwards laws, maybe they would do something different, right,
and like sort of that hypothetical. Yeah, yeah, it's like yeah,
I mean, and sadly, in America, even when our own
young are are their lives are taken way too soon,
(06:38):
we failed to act.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
So it's it's it's.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
All a tragy all the way around. But the excuses
from some of these people is really something like again,
it's the thing. It's like they're only sorry they got caught,
you know, that's all it is. They're like otherwise they
don't give a fuck. But like one person, like I
have to review these texts, but they seem like it
could be dubious.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
Are you fucking for real? Shit?
Speaker 1 (07:04):
So sorry for using racial slurs as my security password,
because that just made it very easy for people to
guess and hack into my account.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
This one, well, this is from Peter Junta. I am
so sorry to those offended by the insensitive and inexcusable
language found within the more than twenty eight thousand messages
of a private group chat that I created during my
campaign to lead the Young Republicans. While I take complete responsibility.
I have had no way of verifying their accuracy, and
I'm deeply concerned that the message logs in question may
have been deceptively doctored.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Oh I have, it would be seemingly be interesting, It
would seemingly be easy to know whether you had said
you saw the most horrendous shit.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
It's honestly the far you mean.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
That's a confirmed I can neither confirm nor deny because honestly, like, ah,
I don't know. It doesn't even jump out to me
as like being that abnormal.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Have any defense? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Do I normally say something like that, like kind of yeah,
like usually like watching sports or something.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Like, I don't know if I did it here, I
don't know. I gotta get back to you. These could
be doctored, all right.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Moving on to chat GPT. Finally some good news. Chat
GPT will be horny this holiday season.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Horny for the holidays, just in time for the lowliest
part of the year.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
So this is an announcement from Sam Altman, who said
in December, as we roll out age gating more fully
and as part of our treat adult users like adults principles,
we will allow even more like erotica for verified adults.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Mmmm. Wow.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
So this also means like you can now use chat
GPT for like other mature applications.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
You know what I mean. You can do it all, baby.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
You can write some nasty things if you want, some
smutty books even shit.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Fucking yeah, this is it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Like the whole they're also trying to walk this tight
rope where you know, like they dialed back some of
the chat functions because they were like they were being
sued by people who are like, dude, my child took
their own life because your fucking chat bot was encouraging them.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah, totally.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Oh yeah, we got let me, let me crank the
dials back a little bit here, and now they're like
all right, before they solved that, they're like, all right,
as we plan to solve that, we're gonna crank things
up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Is this the first time like a major like Fortune
five hundred. I have to assume they're like one of
the most like highly valued companies.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Despite not turning a profit, Right, Is this.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
One of the first times that a company of that
size and seriousness has announced a product upgrade, almost like
Cheerio's announcing like a new pumpkin spiclaver. But the product
upgrade in question is like soon you'll be able to
fuck our product it.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
I don't know. It's no, not like that.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
It feels more like when like dudes are like, Dude,
so and so is going to be eighteen in December
the countdown begins.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It's more like that, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
It's like, finally, now legally I can blust over this
inanimate object.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Now I can take my relationship with chat GPT to
the next level, which is like a lot of the
really scary shit that's happening is like people having deep
personal relationships with chat GPT that cause them to leave
their family or like Joe. Because chat GPT is a
yes and machine, it encourages people who have like you know,
(10:43):
nascent bad ideas to pursue those bad ideas. And if
it's coming from somebody that you really love and respect
and are in a deep personal relationship with, that can
be very powerful and dangerous. And now to be like
and now you can fuck it. Now you can yeah,
now you can better jack off using our fortune five
hundred company. It just it does like I can't remember,
(11:07):
like Berkshire Hathaway or like Coca Cola ever doing like
what I remember, like crystal Pepsi was a big breakthrough
for maybe that company, but I don't remember them talking
about like how it related to your ability to jack off.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
It was implied.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Remember when they released pepsi with the big mouth bottle.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Yeah, we all know what that was about.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
We remember when the big mouth bottle came out. Why
has the bottle mouth got to be so big? Don't
worry about if folks, if you know, you know? Or
is what was that Coca Cola campaign?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
It a giddig. If you don't know, you don't go.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
That was like the thing where you collected the soda
like the bottle tops to get points and go to concerts.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Man, any one totally missed me.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Look, I my brain is a steel trap for American
marketing for some reason. But like this is also the
other thing, right there was a recent study the show
like seven hundred million adults are using chat GPT right
like right now, that's kind of like what the user
base is totally. Yeah, let's just see what happens on
this unregulated thing just now is able to go take
(12:12):
people even further down to an emotional rabbit hole, to
offer companionship and the results that are rendered there. But
they did say they're like, we're going to be careful
ya being what good?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Like, what do you mean this company that is addicted
to rocket growth.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
Like this, they're going to be careful. That's cool. I
think we should be fine.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
Then you can tell by Sam Altman's description of this
how little he gives a shit about the human beings
are using it. He just he said that Open Eye
had made chat gpt quote pretty restrictive to make sure
like they again, they wanted to lock it down, so
he said, we made it quote pretty restrictive to make
sure we're being careful with mental health issues. But it
pretty restrictive, but also acknowledged this approach made the chatbot
(12:56):
quote less useful and enjoyable to many users who had no.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Mental health problems. Yeah, well just ask, just ask problems. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
Open a Eye is usually good at, you know, detecting
whether somebody's about to have a mental health crisis. They
are the ones who like encourage them. They're the ones
who are like, damn dog, you're kind of like neo
the way you just figured that math out, Like you've
kind of created a new math instead of being like, no,
that's incorrect. Actually the answer that you arrived at is wrong.
(13:27):
They're like, the answer you arrived at represents next level
galaxy brain thinking, and you're kind of the messiah, you
know what. So I'm glad that they're in charge of
determining if people are in it too dangerous a place
to jack off to.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Dude, people like mental health problems are making it so
not fun for everybody else the fuck. And also if
you're teetering and you you this could be the thing
that fully pushes.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Someone into full blown mental health. No, no, no, no, no, no,
we're good here, We're good here.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Okay, Well, they a bunch of sexually healthy people jacking
off to chat. GPT look treat adults like adults, and
they have them a gun if they want one.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
They know what they're doing. They're adults that get they're
they're like. The other thing that he was touting was
this like counsel unquote well being an AI, and a
lot of people pointed out They're like, okay, you have
some like AI and mental health people there, but no
one on suicide prevention or things that like are really
going to the like the next level of things to
look out for to keep people from hurting themselves or
(14:32):
endangering people.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
And they're just like, I don't know, they're probably gonna just.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
You know why we don't because every single person we
had on said this is absolutely dangerous, no matter what,
and we can't have that.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Dude, dude, we are being pretty restrictive. And that is
a legal did make me put that pretty in there?
That is a legally weight bearing pretty.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
I can't say we're being actually restricted. No, dude, pretty,
you I have the beholder. Yeah, because now look, I
don't know you launched at GBT right now. See what happens.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
There's a there's a new fucking dialogue box that pops up.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
What's it say? It says, are you fucking crazy? Yes?
Or no? You're based on that, you get the one
you need?
Speaker 1 (15:14):
All right, that's right, there we go. Let's take a
quick break. We'll be right back, and we're back, and
let's see here. Donald Trump has threatened what what do
(15:36):
we got?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
What do we get? Which card do we leafing through?
Uh dossier?
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Donald Trump is threatening Boston over its unspecified unrest.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
They know they have an Asian woman mayor. I think
I can get all cut right to it. I think
that's what he says code for Michelle, who is a problem.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
But yes, uh huh.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
The statement he made it is they're taking over parts
of Boston. But again like the most vague but menacing statement,
they're taking over parts of Boston. They're all going to
laugh at you. They're coming for your women and children.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
They're coming for your World Cup commemorative.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
So he's threatening to take away the World Cup matches
that are set to be played next year in suburb
and Boston that are already like sold out, exactly about
Michelle Woo, a Democrat who is the mayor of Boston,
and he called her intelligent, radical, left interesting, usual of Boston.
And I know the games are sold out, but your
(16:37):
mayor is not good. We could take them away.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I think I'm starting to see how his racism spectrum works.
Because any brown skin, they're darker complexed woman of color
is low iq low iqing. You know, the Orientals though,
they're intelligent. That's one thing you can't take away. They're
very smart. They're very smart. So I couldn't I couldn't
even go there with so who had to be like intelligent?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, just shut the fuck. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
He's also they're threatening to take the Olympics away from LA.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, go ahead, I.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Mean honestly, yeah, by all means, sir, sir, they are
taking over parts of LA. I don't know who they are,
but just yes, they are. Please, by all means, take
away the Olympics from LA.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
What a fuck? We can get them back in two seconds.
You know how much this is.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
This is where he's This is where he doesn't know
anything because he just acts like a fucking terrible pairs,
like I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Take away your dollies, take them away.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
Yeah, that's how they that's how that's his form of
discipline when he doesn't realize all the capitalists are not
gonna make their monies if you take away the games.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
You were fucking with people's money in a big way.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
But he talks a big game and a lot of things,
and when it comes to taking away the rights and
physically abusing poor people without rights, he follows through in
a way that's like, oh damn, you shouldn't be able
to do that. But whenever it comes to fucking with
people's money and people he respects because they're like billionaires,
(18:13):
then it's always it's always him backtracking. It's always uh
Trump always chickens out taco, you know, like that's what
the tariffs it seems to be with everything. He doesn't
he doesn't have the backbone to fuck with people's money.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Well, yeah he doesn't.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I mean, it's just that's the thing with dealing with
someone who's so senile they can only see like two
seconds in front of them, right, and then it's like,
oh yeah, but we're I'm gonna put one hundred and
thirty percent tariffs now on everything. It's exhausting. And also
you can't take away how are you gonna do that?
Like exactly because you'ren't going to play. You know. The
(18:51):
BEIFA is fucking salivating like the cartoons for the fucking
money they're about to make in the World Cup. You're
not actually teen.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
We have breaking news turning point. USA has just announced
that they're going to do their own World Cup. They've
issued they've issued a poll to ask what kind of
soccer players people are interested in watching the English it's white,
ones who use their feet, ones who can use their
(19:21):
hands sometimes, so I think they're talking about goalies there.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
They don't seem that American football players is one of
the options.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
Weird anyways, do you want to see herschel Walker play
in the World Cup?
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, that's all right, that'd be something, all right. Rip
to Drew Strusman, who passed away at the age of
seventy eight after a year's long battle with Alzheimer's disease.
He was responsible. He's one of those people whose name
you may not know, literally don't. I'm responsible for some
of the most iconic movie posters of all time, including
(19:57):
Back to the Future. Oh the Marty checking his watch
with the flames going between his legs. He's an illustrator,
so these are all, like, you know, very photorealistic illustrations.
The thing John Carpent is the thing with the blinding
light coming from the face. The Guyana Park Police Academy four.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
What my favorite academy?
Speaker 1 (20:24):
Citizens on Patrol where they're all in the.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
Yeah, all in the hot air balloon.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Okay, he also did I all right, fine et Blade
Runner and Empire Strikes Back.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I guess up. Set the fuck up Police Academy four?
He did.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Citizens on Patrol. I will say so. Citizens on Patrol
came out in the eighties. This is around, So if
you don't know, the cover of Citizens on Patrol because
you didn't exist in an age when you had to
go to Blockbuster to see which movie you were gonna
rent and just walk by Rose and Rose where the
only advertisement for the movie was the movie poster.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Yeah, on the on the cover of VHS tapes.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
This one has all the wacky characters in a single
hot air balloon basket and they're like kind of put
you know, all coming out like a.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Bouquet of flowers.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Bobcat gold Waite is like falling out and being held up,
and z Tackleberry is firing off a massive assault weapon
into the hot air balloon.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
It's it's it's a great poster.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
That also reminded me that, like this was around the
time that those NBA like the chance that whatever NBA
team won the championship would have an illustration like this.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Oh yep, yep, shut shout out the mad Boosties, you
know stout Billy who illustrated that.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah, but I would like it feels like his his
work was pretty influential. He ripped this style off from
somebody who has already drawn. I wonder or it seems
like one of those things that just was like a necessity.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
It was like, look, I can't get Bubba Smith, Steve Gutenberg,
and fucking bobcab oult weight in the same place at
the same time to take this dang photo, so we
might as well just draw it.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
But I don't know. I mean, it's definitely I love.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I mean like that, like to your point, movie posters
did to me at that time about sixty percent of
the lifting in terms of me determining whether or not
I was going to see something. I was like, Dude,
the poster looks so cool. The box of this movie
looks cool. And then I'm like, I'm watching some weird
art film that I've never heard of because I just
went off the poster.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
But wow.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Jlo is remaking The Kiss of the Spider Woman, which
is an iconic film from the eighties in my mind,
purely because it has a scary cover art of like
a silhouette of a woman back by a spider web.
That was always like something that I would just like
kind of walk past three times and be like, yeah,
(23:02):
that looks spooky.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
I mean, never forget.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
You know.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Kim Catrol was in the First Police Oh, in the
First Police Academy. I thought, you're saying she was the
Spider Woman. Christmas Spider was a spider Woman. Did you
fuck with Police Academy Movies?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Oh my god, dude, heavy fucking heavy, Yeah, I fucking
Michael Winslow.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Winslow.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
You know why because they were like black people in
the movie, and they were cool like Bubba Smith as
high tower high even like hooks when she.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Was excuse me, like when you really turned up, like
that was her superpower.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
But yeah, I loved fucking Callahan sexual awakening as a child.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
This cop got big boobies. What was her name, hot
lips Callahan or like some something.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
She just went by Callu the easter Brook is the
name of the actress.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
But to two characters who who this whole thing was
like carrying big guns, hot like crazy guy gun guy,
and then she was hot hot woman gun person.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Oh yeah, when Tackle Berry like found his mirror. I
seen them all like I've seen them one where they
went to Miami, I went to the South Beach, and
one mission to Moscow with Ron Pearlman.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
That I was another mission to Moscow.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
So I never saw the first two because the first
one was rated R. The second one, I think they
go to Moscow and.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
No, I think it's like Mission to Moscow is like
the sixth installment or something.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Oh really maybe it came out the nineties. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah yeah. I started like I I went in when
Bobcat came came in. That's my dude.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I know him from like the v H one stand
up specials, you know, and uh.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
It's good to be I mean he I remember he was.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
There's a training scene he had the Mickey Mouse watch
and the ship got water and it died and he
was so sad.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Somebody's wrist watch.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
David Spade was in I think Citizen on Patrol, but
he did not make the poster as a skateboarding punk.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
And Jason Lee is actually one of those skateboarding punks too,
because he's a skater.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Hell yeah, son of Stanley.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
He's not the son of Stanley. Jason Lee is the
son of stan Lee. Yeah no, yeah for real, Yeah,
that's crazy man.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Jason Lee is the no. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Also, airports are telling Christy Nome to fuck off if
you've been in an airport security line recently. I think
I think I came back from the last time I
flew and was like yo.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
On my way to d C. I saw them. He felt.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, it's Christy Noom talking about real I d and
like you know, doing doing the secure the announcement video.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
It's totally all.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
It's everything, It's it is so Verhovini. Yeah, yeah, Verhovinian.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
It's like to have that like government figure barking at
you and like looking like that government facility telling you
what the norms are, and like no one's paying attention either.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Everyone's kind of like, dude, what the fuck is this?
Speaker 1 (26:24):
And they've been doing that, but like usually it would
be the local like mayor or something like that, and
just having it be her and like something about like
the the MegaFace that like feels very much I don't know,
processed and like coming at you from like some future dystopia.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Yeah, because it feels like a like a physical transformation.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
You have to undergo yea to sort of prove that,
you know.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
It's like, I don't know, like if if they made scientology,
people do facelifts when they got to a certain level
of eating, right, Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
You're like, oh, you know they're high up. Look at face. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
There's a good analysis in Mega Face from a just
Delfino about like how usually like one of the values
of beauty that has traditionally been respected, especially by like
traditional Republicans, is like effortlessness. You know, especially with like
the upper crust. You want to look effortless and like
you're not trying, and like they have switched. This is
(27:24):
like effort full and it's that it's like you're trying
to make a show of show that you are doing
everything within your power to embrace the mega esthetic, like
you're you want people to know because if it's effortless,
you're not making an overt nod to Donald Trump, you know,
(27:47):
it's just like you just look like that congratulations, and
so they're just going. You want, even if you haven't
had work done and had a new face put on
your skull, you want to look like you have.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Yeah, I mean, I wonder if like Caroline Levitt is
gonna like end up going.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
She's kinder, deeper. Yeah, yeah, she's.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Definitely the lips are looking fuller. But you know, like
one of those things. I mean, I haven't seen her
before pictures, but god, anyway, I saw here's the picture and.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Christie no one is I was like, oh, I remember her,
That's what I remember her. I just didn't realize they
were the same person. Like I had just been like,
that's a different face. My brain could not make sense
to the fact that they're the same person.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Yeah, Caroline Levit, it looks like she just dipping her toe.
She still kind of looks the same, but definitely is
doing some shit, doing some sheet. But then again, this
new video that's popping up, if they were basically like
TSA or the Department of Homeland Security was like asking
airports to start showing these videos at the end of
(29:00):
last week, and it's Christy Nome going. It's TSA's top
priority to make sure that you have the most pleasant
and efficient airport experience as possible while we keep you safe. However,
Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government, and
because of this, many of our operations are impacted and
most of our TSA employees are working without pay.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Damn cool.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
So a ton of major airports like in New York,
New Jersey, Nevada, Oregon watching it like all over the
country are basically refused to go along with this shit
and basically say yeah, yeah, we're all right on that shit.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Though luckily they can not hide behind but they at
least have an excuse rather than putting themselves like in
the crosshairs to be like, this is actually against.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
All the regulations we have.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
It's an airport like like political yeah, like so yeah,
we kind of can't do it.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Would love to love to accommodate you. Look, we actually
thought this video was amazing.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
We loved it. We just you. Our hands are damn tied.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
You are cooked king a puppy Secretary Gnome, and it's
so fucking.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Amazing succulent, more so than even I could have hoped.
All Right, those are some of the things that are
trending on this Wednesday, October fifteenth. We're back tomorrow with
a whole lst episode of the show. Until then, be
kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get the
vaccine while you still can get your flu shots. Don't
