Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to your trendly neighborhood Zeiderman.
Courtesy of Johnny Davis. Okay, you're trendy neighborhood man. So well.
Uh from Wuten Clan, I'm Jack O'Brien. That over there
is super producer a Hosnia joining us today. Uh in
place of Miles of Gray. Yeah, I only know him

(00:22):
by his Twitter handle? Is that his real name? Now?
Miles out today back Steve back in the Morrow. Uh,
good gentlemen. Uh, but we are still going to tell
you what's trend in today on this fine uh cyber Monday,
and that is actually the top thing with trending along
with air pods. AirPods cyber Monday. Uh, this is also

(00:46):
the number one thing on Reddit because uh, there's something
trending that is a strap that holds your air pods together,
so making air pods pointless because they're just like, well
that's everyone's always like I keep losing them. Yeah, and
it's like, yes, well that's kind of the choice. You

(01:08):
take a risk when you spend a hundred fifty to
two fifty dollars on these things, is that you have
to and it's almost asking you to become kind of
like hyper vigilant about what you do with your belongings.
Um as you know, I you know, my partner he
left one of his air pods on the ottoman Yes

(01:28):
we have Ottoman money, um and the dog chewed one
of them, so he had to buy a new pair.
And it's like you have to. These are very expensive,
little tiny pieces of basically forever items because one again,
you can't recycle them or throw them away. So they're
also like candy size, and I always want to eat
them or like swallow them. That's why I compared them

(01:51):
to a pill, because I always want to just like
put them in my mouth and swallow them with a
glass of water like minions. So yeah, I don't if
you are not a person who takes good care of
your belongings, I'm sad to say it, but you should
not buy AirPods. Just stick to the wired headphones. Yeah.
I feel like they've kind of had a real tipping point,

(02:14):
as Malcolm Gladwille and Bill Simmons love to say. But
I think I think because they've released like version two
point oh, now they're actually breaking through because now there's
like an old pair that's obsolete and thus affordable. So
are are the prices going down on those? I think

(02:34):
they must because yeah, like why they wouldn't sell a
single other pair of Well, that's not true. I think
people want Um. We live in a time of flex culture,
so people would flex on each other, like getting by
getting the new ones. So why would you what are
you saying? Well, I'm just saying they must have dropped
the price of the old ones. Otherwise wouldn't they be

(02:57):
the same price as the new ones? No, the new
ones are two fifty old. Okay, never mind. Then, uh,
let's talk about Van Halen also trending because Billie Eilish
did not know who they were and it doesn't need
to Yeah, exactly. I'm sorry I was saying this. Tried
to work up a head esteem to disagree with you

(03:19):
on this, but I just don't give a Ship Halen cool. Yeah,
Chuck Closterman is like a huge Van Halen fan, and
he called them he's like a pop culture writer, and
he called them the most appropriately rated band in existence,
Like neither over or underrated. They're just they just appreciated
for their hits and they were big when they were big,

(03:41):
But nobody needs to they didn't have like a huge
lasting impact that I know of. I don't know that
he said that. That might just be my take, but uh,
I don't know. I you know van Halen. Look, they
weren't to me. It's like there's a certain type of
older band that really resonates with me, like Pearl Jam

(04:02):
or something like that. But that's because they created a
style of being like or yeah, like that's a thing
where whenever I hear a Pearl Jam song, I will
start making that noise along with the song. Van Halen,
you didn't do that, He's saying, like normal people and
guess what, now you don't matter because Billie Eilish doesn't
remember you, and we go by what Billie Eilish remembers

(04:23):
and doesn't remember our official cultural conscience. It's kind of true,
like she's so famous that it's like, well, I don't know, man,
Like if Billy I says you are nothing, then you
are nothing. The thing that is definitely gonna be lasting
of van Halen is that Eddie van Halen did the
guitar solo from the beat It song so Little Known Trip,
but that guitar solo Shreds put that on their wiki

(04:46):
from the beat It song. Uh, as it's known amongst
the kids Eddie, a common name for lead singers of
old bands. Yeah, well he wasn't the lead singer. He
was lead guitarist. That's how little I exactly who gives
a ship? But yeah, people are acting like this is
the equivalent of when kids were all tweeting Wait, Titanics

(05:10):
based on a true story. Yeah, that was like a
big trend early days of twitter. Uh, and that was upsetting,
I think. But this nobody needs to know who van
Halen is. Yeah, you know what, mentally, I've already moved
on from this story. Yeah, nobody knows knew that the
Tulsa race massaker happened until Watchman came out. Let's worry

(05:33):
about that and not the van Halen thing. Uh. Dakota Johnson,
why why is she trending? She well, basically she stood
up to Ellen de Generes. Is crap if you will,
so tell me the story, because I that's what I heard.
I heard it was like a feud between the two
of them. But then, well, so Dakota Johnson, being the

(05:53):
daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffin and the stepdaughter
of Antonio benderis decided today, well not today when of
it happened a few days ago, that she will no
longer be taking Ellen's weird shit on her show. So
she came on the show. Ellen was like, how is
your birthday party? I wasn't invited. Dakota Johnson's like you
can see in the moment where she has that thing
where she like, it's like, right, you were invited, Ellen,

(06:18):
you didn't come. And Ellen's like, I don't know what
you're talking about. I wasn't invited anywhere. And she's like
you can say it because she's done that before. Everything
she says, She's like, you weren't invited last year because
I didn't think you would want to come because you're
like massively famous, and like I've only met you on
the show. But this year I definitely invited you and
you didn't come. She was like, no, I don't think

(06:40):
that's true. That's not true. Let's let's ask somebody, and
like asks her producer, her producers like, uh, yeah, you
were invited. You were out of town. She's like, oh,
I was out of town now right, because I had
that thing yes, And it was the classic investigative journalists
of Twitter. Ak just random people who have the time
other lives. Uh figured out that it was the same

(07:02):
weekend that she was at the Cowboys game with George
bush Bush Bushy Bushes. Oh that's right, I had that
thing where I was hanging out with the war criminal.
So fuck off, Ellen. I'm sorry. These I think her
bits were because she literally says, you harassed me so
much last time when I didn't invite you because one,

(07:23):
we're not friends, So why the funk would I like
imagine being hanging out with all your friends and being like, yeah,
Ellen's coming. Everyone would be like, why why did you
invite Ellen de Generous to your party? Maybe that's just
my era folk, but I'd be like, man, what the fuck?
Why did you invite Ellen? Ellen the Generous? She's gonna
come in and be fake nice to everyone and then

(07:44):
rude to random people like no thank you. And there's
more stories kind of circulating. This has given people an
excuse to start tweeting and chatting about the fact that
Ellen is mean, yeah, not a nice person. It's a
known thing within the industry that Ellen is somewhat evil
and the fame and money has gone to her head

(08:05):
and she's no longer with us folk on planet Earth. Yeah.
So in response to this story, somebody was like, oh
my gosh, just the other day, I was going into
the parking lot of the Writer's Guild of America and uh,
somebody was walking into the building and dropped their parking
ticket and I, you know, they they were a very

(08:28):
famous person. I won't say who they were, but you
can probably guess. And I went up to return it
to them, and they looked at me like I was
the biggest creep in the world and like walked away fast. Well,
just while I was trying to do them a favor,
and everyone was like, oh, it's Ellen, right. Person was
just like, because you don't want her to, I don't know,

(08:50):
blacklist you because she's a monster. Yeah we're blacklisted. Oh yeah, yeah,
we're never working for the Ellen show. Little Bub, Little
Bubb has passed. Long live Little Bub. Uh. This brought
cinder block to our attention. Just to be clear, little
Bub is a cat, Oh yeah, yeah, and not a

(09:13):
rapper who does zanex a young Rapper's a good point
that needs to be clarified. Lill Bub is the like
really cute cat because it looks like a kitten, But
then it has the added feature that it has its
tongue sticking out of its mouth, and little Bub had
dwarf is um, oh yeah, I believe. I think that's

(09:33):
why it looked like a kitten, which is weird because
we we really like, we like fetish size these pets,
these little cats like Grumpy Cat who have like disabilities
and like the weirdest ways, we'll be like make them
an Internet celebrity. Right, so we were like, well, who's
left now, Like, what's the who's the reigning number one

(09:54):
cute cat? Because little bub passed, Uh, grumpy Cat passed,
and uh Garfield is on his way out, and this
brought a cinder block to our attention real quick. Garfield's
not real jack. Uh well you know yeah. Cinder Block
is that huge gray cat that people have made famous

(10:15):
for being fat, which again, um, I don't appreciate all this,
like well what no Doon is making. It's like, guys,
they're cats and they deserve respect. Your impression of that's
the Internet and responding to cute cats is upsetting. That's
the Internet as a whole. It was like, and you're like, guys,

(10:37):
just yes to cute cat. But let's not like you know.
The Garfield thing was, by the way, based on a
tweet by Drew Toothpaste Too tweeted grumpy Cat and Little
Bubber dead these coming threes. Garfield is next. So I
just wanted to only after I called you out. But
it wasn't me. It was his stupid joke anyway, alr
I p Little bub cinder Block is the very large

(11:01):
cat that like can't they keep trying to put them
on water treadmills and he like puts one paw on
the treadmill and like just lets it go by. So
this is what you do to get a cat enrichment activities.
And yes, I do have to spend a lot of
time talking to my bed about this because I do
have two fat cats. Uh. You put their food in
some sort of mechanism where they have to play with

(11:22):
it in order to get the food out. That kind
of like gives them some exercise. Putting a cat on
a water treadmill is so wild to me because one
cats hate water, and too they're gonna be like, I'm
not human. This doesn't compute to me as a thing
I can do to lose weight. Also, I don't care
to lose weight. I'm a fat cat who uses my
body as a pillow for myself. Yeah, the assumption about
those videos seems to be that this is like some

(11:43):
high tech like animal factory or animal like training facility,
and it's probably just like a high tech creative torture
of animal facility. I don't know. Maybe there's science behind
And of course I haven't looked it up because I can't.
With how life goes, I don't have the time. But
it just seems the cat is so big that it

(12:04):
might not be able to support his own weight. Um,
I think that might be. I can't imagine why else
they would do it in water. I see. That's the thing.
It's like, I feel like people are trying to just
create memes out of these animals, like truly, like, why
can't we find other ways to to get cinder blocked
to lose weight other than making it walk on a
water treadmill? It is working, okay DT. However, how BT

(12:33):
dubs super producer Daniel has pointed out that it is working.
He lost point eight pounds, which could in cat weight,
is a significant portion of his body weight and or
should be a significant portion of his body weight, and
but will he gain it? Back once he's done. So

(12:58):
the creative tortures that this creative torture method factory are
trying to convince us. I mean it's work. If it's working,
then I hope it makes cinder Block a lot healthier
and we stopped calling him cinder block. Cinder Block, by
the way, was found in the house of a hoarder
who had passed on and it just like you put

(13:21):
quarter found dead in their house and then giant overfed
enormous cat in the same sentence, you have to wonder
was cinder block feeding on the remains of uh their owner?
And turns out I don't know the answer to that,
so let your imagination. That's a fine thing. It's like
you raised your cat, you put your life into it,

(13:43):
and then you passed before them, Like why shouldn't your
It almost feels like your cat is doing their duty
to be like and I shall eat you now right
and give you a second life as energy for me
to chase lasers. Uh. Frozen is also not really trending.
We talked about it on tomorrow's episode that Frozen two
crushed of the box office. It's trending in a general

(14:06):
People keep talking about it in the office since and
Anna and I just learned we both watched Frozen one
for the first time over the weekend, and it was
me For me, it was the first time I had
watched its sober uh for the first time ever. Yeah, Anna,

(14:27):
you had some you had some takes. I you know,
I struggle with the movie because when I don't think
it's that great, I think I think kids are horrible
movie reviewers. I think all kids are stupid for liking that. No.
I mean, I can see the appeal. It's like a
bunch of songs. It's a dancing uh what is it snowman, which,
by the way, off probably the greatest part of the movie.

(14:49):
But overall I found Elsa to be a bit of
a cunt, very selfish, um sad in a weird dark way,
like there there was some true darkness that I didn't
care for, Like you know, I found I found also
so deeply selfish of like you don't just get to
boo hoo because you get frozen hands or whatever your

(15:11):
problem is, which, by the way, not explained. Was she
born with weird frozen situation? Uh? And then just be
like oh no, and I'm a freak and like run
off and be like finally and then sing a song
about being selfish, like letting go and doing whatever funk
you want when it's like you just frozen down and
then you're like little sisters there, your parents are dead,

(15:33):
like what are you doing? Yeah? Letting your sponsibility a
song that in the end is about letting your selfish
desires win over. Yeah, to live in an ice castle okay, right,
or the proverbial ice castle of I didn't care for that,
you know what. That's what it is. Regina is frozen solid. Yeah,

(15:59):
that's actually if it is, she can do whatever she wants.
That's tough. That would be tough. Oh yeah, maybe that
is the unspoken truth. She's like, no, you don't understand, Like, um,
that would make I guess masturbation incredibly difficult, which is
why she's so pent up. Why she's like, I'm just

(16:20):
gonna go to this castle. That's why she has all
this pent up energy. So it's just like, well, it's true,
they're not fucking right. Well maybe she can help. Don't know,
do baths exist? Do shower heads exist? At that time?
Probably not? Poor Elsa. Also we we the scene where
the giant it's just a very strange transition where her

(16:43):
parents are like, we'll be back in no time, darling.
We're just getting on this boat. And then it's like
it's it's a cut to the boat just being swallowed
by a massive wave. I wish there was no edit
and it was just them like waving goodbye to them
and then it just like rogue wave wipes them out. Yeah.

(17:03):
That was like also a really dark moment where I
was like wait what Yeah, Like that was a really
gnarly storm that they were just sailing through. It was
as scary as any storm in uh the perfect storm.
And we're all like, why are these kids so upset
that their parents are going on a quick trip. It's
because they saw Frozen and they're like, oh no, I've

(17:24):
seen this happen before. As most Disney movies, the parents
always die going on a trip or something. Yeah, especially
though right after parents after the kids are like, oh
don't go, mom, I'm like I have separation anxiety from you,
and they're like, don't worry, we'll be right back. The
thing your parents always before. Don't worry. Your nanny and

(17:45):
Butler will take care of you. Uh. Well, ship that
has been your trendly neighborhood Zeiderman. Uh, this is fun.
