They stop at the door, say to one another and
again and then yeah, say shut to each other, go in,
walk out one minute later. Look around this.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
One just like the typical like improv comedy whisper shouting
argument scene.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
It's actually then being like I get to do this one.
You got to do the last one.

five seconds left before the cameras come back on. They

They call Jeffrey, you have been the Ray.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
They're calling Jeffrey the Path.
Speaker 3 (02:03):

from the Racer.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
We were having a fun conversation before we started recording,
talking about if you had.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
A time machine to teach your dad's ass.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, like what would be the okay, well, what would
be the period where it would be easiest to fire
your dad? But also what would be the best fight,
Like what age.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
The best fight would be like at their physical prime
for you?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
For me right now, going against my dad and his
physical prime, Yeah, I would get Yeah, he would fill
me up real quick.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Luckily my dad artist, so I could I could be like, hey,
look there's a retrospective on man Ray's work and what
And then.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I got my dad tried out for an NBA team
like naked, but he like, was you knows of athleticism
that I don't possess. Yeah, I think I think it
was like, you know, you do a workout and they
decide if they're gonna oh right in the olden days,
in the olden days, Yeah, but yeah, would have whooped
(03:07):
my ass.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I mean, your dad's eyebrow, like your daet has terrifying
like eyes, like if he fucking like.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Black like a dollar's eyes. He's fucking like.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You know, did the chin down, like let me look
at you through my eyebrows.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Kind of thing. I'd be like, yeah, all right, man, I.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Got a good brow, bro.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, And he doesn't get it from me.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It's part of the thing, I guess, right, or maybe
he does and that's that and he goes.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Well, well, well I've been waiting.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
For your ass, like, oh no, I.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Think it'd be the vast majority of his life. I'd say,
from like thirteen.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
To just the toughest thirteen year old phi.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah yeah, Philly Man.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Famous for turning out real soft ass people, I feel, yeah, yeah,
used to play hoops at a park and then have
to sprint down the middle of the street home to avoid,
you know, getting getting beat up. What do you mean, oh,
to be like playing Frogger, to be like trying to
catch do these cars?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Wow? Yeah, different times, different times, different All right.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
My name is Jack. That over there is Miles, And
this is the episode where we tell you what is trending.
We're gonna start off with a little light one answers
a mystery for me. I did you watch Squid.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Game season one?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
And I've watched the first two episodes of season two,
that's rights, and then there's already season three and I'm like, well,
ha handa, haa, handa, what the fuck happened?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Man?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
There was like seven years too fast. The discourse is
now vaporized, essentially. I feel like, but I guess it
was a different time. It was a different time back
then it was.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It's also it just feels like a show that was
able to be good because like everyone was like, wow,
they made this like on a small budget, and like
Netflix didn't know what they had when they made season one.
Right as soon as Netflix knew what they had.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, we're in trouble. Yeah mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
South Korea, we have a problem.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Exactly, booked around and got a triple double. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I had a sense that Netflix didn't quite get what
worked about the first one when they made their own
Squid game reality show, or like we root for the
VIP guys, that's who we're supposed to be, right right,
right right. Anyways, one of the big questions I had
about season one, which I thought was a great season
(05:32):
of television, like, kind of ended unsatisfyingly. And one of
the reasons I found it unsatisfying towards the end is
they introduced the wealthy VIPs who are like in the
green room watching all of this go down, for whom
this entertainment is taking place, this game, this game, this
game of Squid that we've been watching. And after watching
(05:55):
a show with a bunch of really great performances in Korean,
we are introduced to the first English speaking characters and
the performances are WHOA. Then, like I'm trying to think
of like the level of acting that I would put
it on, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
It's it's like a community theater.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
No, not even because those people like actually aspired. It's
like someone who doesn't even aspire to act is acting. Yeah,
and it's like, fine, I guess I'll do it. When
I just gotta say these.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Words, it's like a mockery of acting exactly what have Yeah?
Truly really bad, which made me then go back and
be like, like it was like season five of The Wire,
when like the one that's about a newsroom and like journalism,
and I had like worked in a newsroom at that time,
and I was like, oh, this feels like weird. And
(06:48):
then I was like, wait, does every season of the Wire?
Like do cops feel about season one through three the
way that like a journalist would feel about season five?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
You know?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I was like, wait, is all the acting bad and
squid game? And like I just like didn't realize it
because I was reading. I was busy reading the subtitles.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, So it.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Turns out those actors playing the wealthy VIPs speaking in English,
even though they were speaking English, their voices were dubbed
over in English, like possibly as a contractual thing with
the other dubbers, but ign like it. Finally went back
(07:28):
and was like, hey, like, why why were you guys
like they just I don't know how they broached this subject.
Why were you guys so bad?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I don't know how to put this, Like, how fucking
dare you act so bad?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Just as IgM reports, even the performers who played the
VIPs were perplexed by the choice. Responding to a TikTok
that took the VIPs to task for being frankly terrible performers,
actor Brian Bucko or Buco offered an explanation of sorts,
those are the English dubbs. I was the actual actor.
(08:06):
What's being played here? Isn't my voice?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Also speculated why squid Game decided to dub English dialogue
that was already being spoken in English. I think whoever
is contracted to do the dubbing does all the dubbing.
They just like Ice couldn't put the brakes on the dubbing,
which does That does explain quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, I'm but again, but in the Korean version they
speak English, because we're like, why do they need to
dub that part?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I'm just confused.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
It's like, is it just some contract thing where it's like,
if you do dubbing, you got everything has got to
be through.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I just I don't know if this is gonna.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Be dubbed, We're gonna have to dub it. All, yeah, Yeah,
it doesn't make sense because I was assuming that they
were dubbing the other voice, but they weren't, So like,
why possibly unless the original performances were somehow even worse.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah, could you imagine they're like Brian, Bro, Yeah, I
don't know what happened. It's like, you know, we gotta
like we gotta that deal with the dubbing company and
they got to do all the dubs.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
That's just how it works because.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You killed it, Bro. Remember how about everyone remembers you
were killing it on set?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
That is like one of the the is it adr?
Is that the thing where like they record after after
the fact, Like that is one of the things that
I notice now as an adult that I didn't notice before,
Like how much of the words spoken in movies are
just like clearly they're like, hey, could you throw in
like a little word of exposition here real quick to
(09:44):
just like move the story forward, and then it's just
like cut away to like a wide shot as someone's like, well,
we better get to the throne then like just like
a little breadcrumb.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
It's an art.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Carry us along, all right, let's move on to another game.
The don't take accountability challenge. Yes, Blood Edition.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, so we talked a little bit about the conspiracy
theories that were going around on the internet after the diabolical,
tragic floods that happen in Texas, where I think at
this point, like over one hundred and ten people now
have been confirmed dead. It's an absolute fucking tragedy. But again,
that's not going to stop people on the right from
(10:26):
just coming out with the wackiest shit or a way
to sort of like make this conform to the narrative
that it's either immigrants or black people, just like it's
not white people that actually have the power that are
responsible for it, not the.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Powerful people in charge of running this state or the.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Whether that would be Republicans. So let's go down a
few layers. Yeah, well, here's Charlie Kirk. He's got a
pretty good theory as to who should be blamed is
that the death poll likely would not have been as
high if it wasn't for DEI. Oh, I don't even
need I'm not even gonna play the rest, dude, Like
(11:02):
that's this guy is fucking serious. And he goes on
to be like the chief who is black? Wow, Okay,
did DEI there did it.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Therefore, that's what happened.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
They bring up the fact that the Obama administration had
like sued the Austin Fire Department for like racial discrimination,
and they fucking I'd imagine the Austin Fire Department lost.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Because it was probably well discrimination.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It was bad enough that the federal government had press
charges because I guess they weren't doing they weren't getting
it done on their own in the state.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
And then he's like.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
And then this guy was so concerned about making the
department more black that he forgot to do updates on things,
and he's so focused on this. So yeah, we got
the DEI. He said, it's working to undermine meritocratic institutions,
and more people likely died than otherwise would have because
(12:00):
of the EI.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Oh okay, interesting, interesting, an interesting whistle.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Just well, as you can see, there is a black
person in this organization, so I think we know what
happened here.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah, I won't look anything.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I'll just take completely take out of the equation the
actual leadership of the state or anything like that of
who's accountable because you know, black or not, Like there
are people that you can actually look at and say,
this is an interesting sequence of decisions that were made
that got us here.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, and as we continue to see more tragedies happen,
as they cut staff and also try and arrest America
into being a white eth no state, I'm sure they'll
somehow find a way to keep making this their their
go to argument.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Can you imagine they're like, Okay, there's a threshold though,
because we need some black and brown people and minorities too,
so we can't go for everybody.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
They do their own DEI where just every organization has
to have one person of color that they can make
the escapegoat.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Oh boy, pretty soon, I feel like we're not far
off from I mean it already, you know, companies already
like put people in positions to make them fall people
to begin with anyway, But yeah, this just maybe it
will be that over soon.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
So somehow we've gotten to a place where an organization
that had to be sued for its racist hiring practices
is the one that is in line with meritocracy.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
That's where we're black people are meritless.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Obviously, and that's because that's the only They're only hired
because of the EI and there's no other reason but hey,
Charlie Kirk, you tried.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
There was a brief flicker of hope that a law
that actually helped people would would come along, a click
to cancel law that was basically like, so you know
how easy it is is, to like join a thing
that is a recurring membership, We would like to make
it that easy for consumers to cancel wanted subscriptions to memberships.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
You would easily want to get out of this predatory relationships.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Going on with this cancel culture. Dog Nah, this is
exactly is just blocked by three US Court of Appeals judges.
Jesus like they gang tackled this one who accused the
FTC of failing to come up with a preliminary regulatory analysis,
(14:37):
which is required for rules who annual impact on US
economy more than one hundred million dollars. I don't know
why the FTC was like that, it's actually less than
one hundred million. I would definitely be more than one
hundred million dollars if this shit was working, but just
be like, yeah, but it's predatory and fucked up.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
So then I guess now they just have to come
up with this, and so they're trying to just slow
walk this thing.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah, or.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
This is the country that we live in. The only
people who are represented are corporations, who are people, thank you.
Actual human beings are fucked under this current.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
That's why I'm incorporating.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, everybody should incorporate.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Man, that's what it sounds like. Yeah, you got to
to get your rights.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
But yeah, so this is presumably you know, gym memberships,
digital streaming, e commerce, cable TV. Just breathed a sigh
of relief. Remember remember like Adobe, Brian editor points out Adobe,
somebody had a tweet recently that was like, every time
(15:45):
I'm at my financial low point, the Adobe payment goes through.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Fuck yeah you Creative Suite.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah, I remember when this was announced and we're like, yeah, see,
these are the kinds of things that are make lives
easier tangibly for people. Even though it's not a huge
systemic shift. I mean, in a way, it kind of is,
because as it stands, it's like, where the fuck do
you think you're going? Is sort of like the tone
we have with any subscription.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
You think you're going with your money, get the fuck
back here.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Okay, now give me your sixteen dollars and don't watch
this for a month. Okay, until you're reminded when the
next payment comes through. But yeah, how quickly we've gone
from hey that could be cool to disappeals court.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Shut the up.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
We're back.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
And last week there was a news story about something
called ice block, not the setting on the Cassio keyboard.
Do you remember that one? The ice block setting?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
No, was that like the sound of like it's yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
It's like I don't know. It was like kind of
a soft clinking sound. Oh wow, after it anywhow you?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Mister okay, didn't realize we were dealing with a keyboard warrior.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, eighty eight keyboard.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh wait, let's see this was this guy's about to play?
It was that iceblock sounds exactly like an ice block, right,
ice block? The preset on this random thrifted Yamaha keyboard.
Juicy Okay, Yeah, okay, all right, dreading not with Kevin
Parker over here.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
You ever been used in a successful song that sound?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I mean that sounds.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah. People love old synth sounds, so I can definitely
see that being used. So Jack, you should you should
release your mixtape on SoundCloud.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I know you've been.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Has that ever, Like, I don't know, does it? Would
it sound sick if I was?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I don't know. It's like a trunk craddler.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
So ice block actually has to do with ice the
organization that we talked about earlier this week did a
big Civil War reenactment style raid across MacArthur Park in
Los Angeles, just like you know, show of force. I
think they get to fight some MS thirteen take down,
(18:15):
take down the fake ID magnates that are out there.
They're presumably college freshmen. And there's also I had missed this,
but they got caught on camera pissing all over school property.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah when they were told to get the fuck out. Yeah,
just all over the buildings and shit. Really cool, really cool,
really awesome. Shit, do just piss on it? Because if
we can't piss on your rights, I guess we'll just
piss on your school.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Literally piss on your school, just like children's playground, school
playground with two masked men pissing. So A guy named
Joshua Aaron launched an app called ice Block, which lets
users anonymously alert people nearby to sightings of immigration and
customs enforcement agents in their Uh, you can even include
(19:02):
information like what officers were wearing, what kind of car
they're driving, because they don't have fucking uniforms, where like
they're often in unmarked cars. And at that point, other
users within a five mile radius will receive a push
alert notifying them of the sightings, which I feel like
this could be I was waiting for, like, what's going
(19:24):
to be the watch duty of.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
This right cataclysmic event in our city?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
The app that like came through and suddenly it was
like everybody was on it all the time. This sounds
like it could be that. Uh, I fucking they should
do a collabo man watch that would be I.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Mean, yeah, I feel like the one thing people are
really concerned about is like who's making this and how
private is it? If it's like attaching my thing, because
then am I downstream from some eventual fucked up, you know,
a campaign against the people who deigned to report where
the ice goons were. But at the same time, I
(20:03):
think the counterpoint to that is also like we need
a way to alert people like when these people are
trying to kidnap people of your community, and now I
mean it's it's interesting because if you know, a lot
of people like this is a fucking op, dude, don't
stay the fuck away from it. But the Republicans too
are pretty upset about it.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah, that was my one indication that this actually might
be like, uh.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Fully an op or something like that.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
But yeah, because now we have members of Congress who
are calling for an immediate probe for this from the
Small Business Committee. They said, quote, we are disturbed to
learn that the developers of this app may be encouraging
people to interfere with and evade lawful, debatable ice operations
designed to remove criminals from our streets.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Again, criminals, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Let's can we wanna hey, Jamie, can we wanna quick
an ouse on that we get those numbers?
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Get those numbers? How man?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
People are a criminals and people that are biting by
the law and following all the processes to.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
You're just basically arresting people at random who have brown skin.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Oh okay. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It's While the creators of this app claim to promote
quote awareness, their actions actively.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Undermined the integrity of our justice system.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
The development and use of this app is not simply
neighborhood awareness. It is a blatant interference with agency operations,
and they were.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Like, this is it's gonna put them in danger.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
The police don't wear fucking masks?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Right, So interesting?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Can you just walk me through the logic here?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
So the police, right, and you talk about how these
are the brave people that are you know, keeping our
society together, and you know they and they've been vilified,
they don't wear.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Tested I think, I remember they're being protests against the police.
They why aren't they wearing masks?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Is that what that was about?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Is it effectively? Remember? I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's
PEPSI was involved somehow and one of the yes, yes, yes, yes,
it was Kingdall Jenner.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
But again, like it's just they keep doing this thing
of like they're being docksed or whatever. It's completely leaving
out the part that what they're.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Doing is extra legal and extra fucked up.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Well, Miles, what you're leaving out is that assaults against
ICE agents are actually up by five hundred percent, and
Fox News actually reported that assaults against ICE agents are
up six hundred and ninety percent. Sixty ninety percent.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
How many fucking people have had their head bashed in
with bricks and are now have become unusable as a goon.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I mean, I don't wanna, I don't want to even
say it, but yeah, so the actual number, there's been
seventy nine assaults, which is you can't even so there
have been seventy nine assaults. I do also just want
to note one of the alleged assaults. We covered a
(22:48):
story last week where a woman was like walking into work.
Her family had just dropped her off, lifted off her
feet by mask men without any police or ICE uniforms
showing put in an unmarked car. Was not on ICE
lists or any of that shit. For four days, the
family like was putting out alerts being like, she's been
kidnapped obviously since they claim they don't have her and
(23:11):
these were just mask men. They finally ICE was like, okay,
you got us. We had her, and she is being
charged with assault because she was struggling when masked men
pulled her into an unmarked.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Right right right, right, right right right, So that.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
A person who they were able to just pull lift
off her feet and drag into an unmarked car.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
People who don't want to be disappeared are struggling when they.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Struggled that's being called assault. And yeah, I mean that's
what they do, that bullshit definition of assault. We are
at seventy nine right from like I don't know whatever
the math would be on that, like ten or something.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it's and it's like it's and
it's not like we've been doing the same amount on
the kidnappings a day too just before Trump. Oh wait, no,
it's because it's ramped up exponentially. Yeah, you're gonna get
more people who are like, what the fuck are you doing?
Who the fuck are you? I'm following the law. Who
the fuck are you?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, So Christy Nome, like you said, like a lot
of people were complaining scared. Uh for ice agents was
like this is being used to target our people. And
ice Block grew in popularity and became the number one
app on Apple's app.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Store streisand effected that thing.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah. Yeah, they ended the fuck out of it. It
is over Google Map, which is pretty cool jesus.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Also, when I searched ice Block in the app store,
I noticed there's some ice Block themed puzzle games. It
seemed to be having a nice week as well. Yeah,
a little bump, But so Trump supporters are trying to
like flood the app and make it unusable. But Trump
is also threatening with legal action. But like the app
has been thoroughly vetted. I don't know if it's been
(25:03):
thoroughly funded, though. You would think something that comes comes
up to meet the moment like this would get a
ton of funding, but less anti fascist apps something.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Yeah, I feel like we can get clever.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
You know a lot of apps have like map things
where you can drop pins and things like that. I mean,
I remember when the Eaton fire broke out, there was
a public Google map where in real time people were
reporting like what parts of the neighborhoods were like going
up in flames. I remember that, Like that was the
most intense looking at Google Maps I've ever done in
my life.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Yeah, but it's again.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Like this is just a thing that in fucking you
know these like like ways in these other navigation apps,
there's the thing like say there's a cop there setting
you can do that, but okay, all right, yeah, because
again they don't want to actually interrogate or analyze or
reckon with like what they are actually doing, And it's
(25:58):
much easier to be like the ice. Ice is the
good guys and anyone who's against him is bad, okay,
And I'm not gonna hear anything else who will not
hear of it.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
That's what That's what good guys in the movies are
always saying, I will.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Not hear of it exactly. Now, disappear this child.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
All right. Those are some of the things that are
trending on this July ninth. We are back tomorrow with
a whole last episode of the show. Until then, be
kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get your vaccines.
Weights still can get your flu shots, we still can.
Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk
to you all tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
It's just a closed door but so you won't be
able to tell. But they are going to be like
doing the thing where it's like fast fast fast slow.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Motion can hit with a shield. That was a sick
ass part of three hundred dude.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Oh and there will be the minute where the uh
where Bill and Hillary Clinton walk in and stereotypical raw
for a gear with.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
The fucking bandana.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
They stop at the door, say to one another and
again and then yeah, say shut to each other, go in,
walk out one minute later. Look around this.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
One just like the typical like improv comedy whisper shouting
argument scene.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
It's actually then being like I get to do this one.
You got to do the last one.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
I know, but I actually do this one. I'm the fuck.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
He hays a fucking painting of me, like the field,
the life leave their body? What is it called the Clinton?
Was it like the kill list or the.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Clinton kill list?
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Kill list?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
At the end, they come out, check their watch, forty
five seconds left before the cameras come back on. They
make a phone call Barack it's done, and then walk away.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
They call Jeffrey, you have been the Ray.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
They're calling Jeffrey the Path.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Sorry. I really liked that. I really liked that line
from the Racer.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
We were having a fun conversation before we started recording,
talking about if you had.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
A time machine to teach your dad's ass.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Yeah, like what would be the okay, well, what would
be the period where it would be easiest to fire
your dad? But also what would be the best fight,
Like what age.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
The best fight would be like at their physical prime
for you?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
For me right now, going against my dad and his
physical prime, Yeah, I would get Yeah, he would fill
me up real quick.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Luckily my dad artist, so I could I could be like, hey,
look there's a retrospective on man Ray's work and what
And then.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I got my dad tried out for an NBA team
like naked, but he like, was you knows of athleticism
that I don't possess. Yeah, I think I think it
was like, you know, you do a workout and they
decide if they're gonna oh right in the olden days,
in the olden days, Yeah, but yeah, would have whooped
(03:07):
my ass.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
No.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I mean, your dad's eyebrow, like your daet has terrifying
like eyes, like if he fucking like.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Black like a dollar's eyes. He's fucking like.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You know, did the chin down, like let me look
at you through my eyebrows.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Kind of thing. I'd be like, yeah, all right, man, I.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Got a good brow, bro.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, And he doesn't get it from me.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
It's part of the thing, I guess, right, or maybe
he does and that's that and he goes.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Well, well, well I've been waiting.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
For your ass, like, oh no, I.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Think it'd be the vast majority of his life. I'd say,
from like thirteen.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
To just the toughest thirteen year old phi.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Yeah yeah, Philly Man.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Famous for turning out real soft ass people, I feel, yeah, yeah,
used to play hoops at a park and then have
to sprint down the middle of the street home to avoid,
you know, getting getting beat up. What do you mean, oh,
to be like playing Frogger, to be like trying to
catch do these cars?
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Wow? Yeah, different times, different times, different All right.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
My name is Jack. That over there is Miles, And
this is the episode where we tell you what is trending.
We're gonna start off with a little light one answers
a mystery for me. I did you watch Squid.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Game season one?
Speaker 2 (04:26):
And I've watched the first two episodes of season two,
that's rights, and then there's already season three and I'm like, well,
ha handa, haa, handa, what the fuck happened?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Man?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
There was like seven years too fast. The discourse is
now vaporized, essentially. I feel like, but I guess it
was a different time. It was a different time back
then it was.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
It's also it just feels like a show that was
able to be good because like everyone was like, wow,
they made this like on a small budget, and like
Netflix didn't know what they had when they made season one.
Right as soon as Netflix knew what they had.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Yeah, we're in trouble. Yeah mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
South Korea, we have a problem.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Exactly, booked around and got a triple double. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I had a sense that Netflix didn't quite get what
worked about the first one when they made their own
Squid game reality show, or like we root for the
VIP guys, that's who we're supposed to be, right right,
right right. Anyways, one of the big questions I had
about season one, which I thought was a great season
(05:32):
of television, like, kind of ended unsatisfyingly. And one of
the reasons I found it unsatisfying towards the end is
they introduced the wealthy VIPs who are like in the
green room watching all of this go down, for whom
this entertainment is taking place, this game, this game, this
game of Squid that we've been watching. And after watching
(05:55):
a show with a bunch of really great performances in Korean,
we are introduced to the first English speaking characters and
the performances are WHOA. Then, like I'm trying to think
of like the level of acting that I would put
it on, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
It's it's like a community theater.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
No, not even because those people like actually aspired. It's
like someone who doesn't even aspire to act is acting. Yeah,
and it's like, fine, I guess I'll do it. When
I just gotta say these.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Words, it's like a mockery of acting exactly what have Yeah?
Truly really bad, which made me then go back and
be like, like it was like season five of The Wire,
when like the one that's about a newsroom and like journalism,
and I had like worked in a newsroom at that time,
and I was like, oh, this feels like weird. And
(06:48):
then I was like, wait, does every season of the Wire?
Like do cops feel about season one through three the
way that like a journalist would feel about season five?
Speaker 2 (06:57):
You know?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I was like, wait, is all the acting bad and
squid game? And like I just like didn't realize it
because I was reading. I was busy reading the subtitles.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, So it.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Turns out those actors playing the wealthy VIPs speaking in English,
even though they were speaking English, their voices were dubbed
over in English, like possibly as a contractual thing with
the other dubbers, but ign like it. Finally went back
(07:28):
and was like, hey, like, why why were you guys
like they just I don't know how they broached this subject.
Why were you guys so bad?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
I don't know how to put this, Like, how fucking
dare you act so bad?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Just as IgM reports, even the performers who played the
VIPs were perplexed by the choice. Responding to a TikTok
that took the VIPs to task for being frankly terrible performers,
actor Brian Bucko or Buco offered an explanation of sorts,
those are the English dubbs. I was the actual actor.
(08:06):
What's being played here? Isn't my voice?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Also speculated why squid Game decided to dub English dialogue
that was already being spoken in English. I think whoever
is contracted to do the dubbing does all the dubbing.
They just like Ice couldn't put the brakes on the dubbing,
which does That does explain quite a bit.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Yeah, I'm but again, but in the Korean version they
speak English, because we're like, why do they need to
dub that part?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I'm just confused.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
It's like, is it just some contract thing where it's like,
if you do dubbing, you got everything has got to
be through.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I just I don't know if this is gonna.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Be dubbed, We're gonna have to dub it. All, yeah, Yeah,
it doesn't make sense because I was assuming that they
were dubbing the other voice, but they weren't, So like,
why possibly unless the original performances were somehow even worse.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Yeah, could you imagine they're like Brian, Bro, Yeah, I
don't know what happened. It's like, you know, we gotta
like we gotta that deal with the dubbing company and
they got to do all the dubs.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
That's just how it works because.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You killed it, Bro. Remember how about everyone remembers you
were killing it on set?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
That is like one of the the is it adr?
Is that the thing where like they record after after
the fact, Like that is one of the things that
I notice now as an adult that I didn't notice before,
Like how much of the words spoken in movies are
just like clearly they're like, hey, could you throw in
like a little word of exposition here real quick to
(09:44):
just like move the story forward, and then it's just
like cut away to like a wide shot as someone's like, well,
we better get to the throne then like just like
a little breadcrumb.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
It's an art.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Carry us along, all right, let's move on to another game.
The don't take accountability challenge. Yes, Blood Edition.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, so we talked a little bit about the conspiracy
theories that were going around on the internet after the diabolical,
tragic floods that happen in Texas, where I think at
this point, like over one hundred and ten people now
have been confirmed dead. It's an absolute fucking tragedy. But again,
that's not going to stop people on the right from
(10:26):
just coming out with the wackiest shit or a way
to sort of like make this conform to the narrative
that it's either immigrants or black people, just like it's
not white people that actually have the power that are
responsible for it, not the.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Powerful people in charge of running this state or the.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Whether that would be Republicans. So let's go down a
few layers. Yeah, well, here's Charlie Kirk. He's got a
pretty good theory as to who should be blamed is
that the death poll likely would not have been as
high if it wasn't for DEI. Oh, I don't even
need I'm not even gonna play the rest, dude, Like
(11:02):
that's this guy is fucking serious. And he goes on
to be like the chief who is black? Wow, Okay,
did DEI there did it.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Therefore, that's what happened.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
They bring up the fact that the Obama administration had
like sued the Austin Fire Department for like racial discrimination,
and they fucking I'd imagine the Austin Fire Department lost.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Because it was probably well discrimination.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It was bad enough that the federal government had press
charges because I guess they weren't doing they weren't getting
it done on their own in the state.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
And then he's like.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
And then this guy was so concerned about making the
department more black that he forgot to do updates on things,
and he's so focused on this. So yeah, we got
the DEI. He said, it's working to undermine meritocratic institutions,
and more people likely died than otherwise would have because
(12:00):
of the EI.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Oh okay, interesting, interesting, an interesting whistle.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Just well, as you can see, there is a black
person in this organization, so I think we know what
happened here.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Yeah, I won't look anything.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
I'll just take completely take out of the equation the
actual leadership of the state or anything like that of
who's accountable because you know, black or not, Like there
are people that you can actually look at and say,
this is an interesting sequence of decisions that were made
that got us here.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Yeah, and as we continue to see more tragedies happen,
as they cut staff and also try and arrest America
into being a white eth no state, I'm sure they'll
somehow find a way to keep making this their their
go to argument.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Can you imagine they're like, Okay, there's a threshold though,
because we need some black and brown people and minorities too,
so we can't go for everybody.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
They do their own DEI where just every organization has
to have one person of color that they can make
the escapegoat.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Oh boy, pretty soon, I feel like we're not far
off from I mean it already, you know, companies already
like put people in positions to make them fall people
to begin with anyway, But yeah, this just maybe it
will be that over soon.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
So somehow we've gotten to a place where an organization
that had to be sued for its racist hiring practices
is the one that is in line with meritocracy.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Right.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
That's where we're black people are meritless.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Obviously, and that's because that's the only They're only hired
because of the EI and there's no other reason but hey,
Charlie Kirk, you tried.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
There was a brief flicker of hope that a law
that actually helped people would would come along, a click
to cancel law that was basically like, so you know
how easy it is is, to like join a thing
that is a recurring membership, We would like to make
it that easy for consumers to cancel wanted subscriptions to memberships.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
You would easily want to get out of this predatory relationships.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Going on with this cancel culture. Dog Nah, this is
exactly is just blocked by three US Court of Appeals judges.
Jesus like they gang tackled this one who accused the
FTC of failing to come up with a preliminary regulatory analysis,
(14:37):
which is required for rules who annual impact on US
economy more than one hundred million dollars. I don't know
why the FTC was like that, it's actually less than
one hundred million. I would definitely be more than one
hundred million dollars if this shit was working, but just
be like, yeah, but it's predatory and fucked up.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
So then I guess now they just have to come
up with this, and so they're trying to just slow
walk this thing.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah, or.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
This is the country that we live in. The only
people who are represented are corporations, who are people, thank you.
Actual human beings are fucked under this current.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
That's why I'm incorporating.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, everybody should incorporate.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
Man, that's what it sounds like. Yeah, you got to
to get your rights.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
But yeah, so this is presumably you know, gym memberships,
digital streaming, e commerce, cable TV. Just breathed a sigh
of relief. Remember remember like Adobe, Brian editor points out Adobe,
somebody had a tweet recently that was like, every time
(15:45):
I'm at my financial low point, the Adobe payment goes through.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Fuck yeah you Creative Suite.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah, I remember when this was announced and we're like, yeah, see,
these are the kinds of things that are make lives
easier tangibly for people. Even though it's not a huge
systemic shift. I mean, in a way, it kind of is,
because as it stands, it's like, where the fuck do
you think you're going? Is sort of like the tone
we have with any subscription.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
You think you're going with your money, get the fuck
back here.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Okay, now give me your sixteen dollars and don't watch
this for a month. Okay, until you're reminded when the
next payment comes through. But yeah, how quickly we've gone
from hey that could be cool to disappeals court.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Shut the up.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
And we're back.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
We're back.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
And last week there was a news story about something
called ice block, not the setting on the Cassio keyboard.
Do you remember that one? The ice block setting?
Speaker 2 (16:54):
No, was that like the sound of like it's yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
It's like I don't know. It was like kind of
a soft clinking sound. Oh wow, after it anywhow you?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Mister okay, didn't realize we were dealing with a keyboard warrior.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah, eighty eight keyboard.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh wait, let's see this was this guy's about to play?
It was that iceblock sounds exactly like an ice block, right,
ice block? The preset on this random thrifted Yamaha keyboard.
Juicy Okay, Yeah, okay, all right, dreading not with Kevin
Parker over here.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
You ever been used in a successful song that sound?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
I mean that sounds.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah. People love old synth sounds, so I can definitely
see that being used. So Jack, you should you should
release your mixtape on SoundCloud.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I know you've been.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Has that ever, Like, I don't know, does it? Would
it sound sick if I was?
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I don't know. It's like a trunk craddler.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
So ice block actually has to do with ice the
organization that we talked about earlier this week did a
big Civil War reenactment style raid across MacArthur Park in
Los Angeles, just like you know, show of force. I
think they get to fight some MS thirteen take down,
(18:15):
take down the fake ID magnates that are out there.
They're presumably college freshmen. And there's also I had missed this,
but they got caught on camera pissing all over school property.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yeah when they were told to get the fuck out. Yeah,
just all over the buildings and shit. Really cool, really cool,
really awesome. Shit, do just piss on it? Because if
we can't piss on your rights, I guess we'll just
piss on your school.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Literally piss on your school, just like children's playground, school
playground with two masked men pissing. So A guy named
Joshua Aaron launched an app called ice Block, which lets
users anonymously alert people nearby to sightings of immigration and
customs enforcement agents in their Uh, you can even include
(19:02):
information like what officers were wearing, what kind of car
they're driving, because they don't have fucking uniforms, where like
they're often in unmarked cars. And at that point, other
users within a five mile radius will receive a push
alert notifying them of the sightings, which I feel like
this could be I was waiting for, like, what's going
(19:24):
to be the watch duty of.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
This right cataclysmic event in our city?
Speaker 1 (19:29):
The app that like came through and suddenly it was
like everybody was on it all the time. This sounds
like it could be that. Uh, I fucking they should
do a collabo man watch that would be I.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Mean, yeah, I feel like the one thing people are
really concerned about is like who's making this and how
private is it? If it's like attaching my thing, because
then am I downstream from some eventual fucked up, you know,
a campaign against the people who deigned to report where
the ice goons were. But at the same time, I
(20:03):
think the counterpoint to that is also like we need
a way to alert people like when these people are
trying to kidnap people of your community, and now I
mean it's it's interesting because if you know, a lot
of people like this is a fucking op, dude, don't
stay the fuck away from it. But the Republicans too
are pretty upset about it.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Yeah, that was my one indication that this actually might
be like, uh.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Fully an op or something like that.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
But yeah, because now we have members of Congress who
are calling for an immediate probe for this from the
Small Business Committee. They said, quote, we are disturbed to
learn that the developers of this app may be encouraging
people to interfere with and evade lawful, debatable ice operations
designed to remove criminals from our streets.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Again, criminals, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Let's can we wanna hey, Jamie, can we wanna quick
an ouse on that we get those numbers?
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Get those numbers? How man?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
People are a criminals and people that are biting by
the law and following all the processes to.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
You're just basically arresting people at random who have brown skin.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Oh okay. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It's While the creators of this app claim to promote
quote awareness, their actions actively.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
Undermined the integrity of our justice system.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
The development and use of this app is not simply
neighborhood awareness. It is a blatant interference with agency operations,
and they were.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Like, this is it's gonna put them in danger.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
The police don't wear fucking masks?
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Right, So interesting?
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Can you just walk me through the logic here?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
So the police, right, and you talk about how these
are the brave people that are you know, keeping our
society together, and you know they and they've been vilified,
they don't wear.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Tested I think, I remember they're being protests against the police.
They why aren't they wearing masks?
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Is that what that was about?
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Is it effectively? Remember? I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, there's
PEPSI was involved somehow and one of the yes, yes, yes, yes,
it was Kingdall Jenner.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
But again, like it's just they keep doing this thing
of like they're being docksed or whatever. It's completely leaving
out the part that what they're.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Doing is extra legal and extra fucked up.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Well, Miles, what you're leaving out is that assaults against
ICE agents are actually up by five hundred percent, and
Fox News actually reported that assaults against ICE agents are
up six hundred and ninety percent. Sixty ninety percent.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
How many fucking people have had their head bashed in
with bricks and are now have become unusable as a goon.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
I mean, I don't wanna, I don't want to even
say it, but yeah, so the actual number, there's been
seventy nine assaults, which is you can't even so there
have been seventy nine assaults. I do also just want
to note one of the alleged assaults. We covered a
(22:48):
story last week where a woman was like walking into work.
Her family had just dropped her off, lifted off her
feet by mask men without any police or ICE uniforms
showing put in an unmarked car. Was not on ICE
lists or any of that shit. For four days, the
family like was putting out alerts being like, she's been
kidnapped obviously since they claim they don't have her and
(23:11):
these were just mask men. They finally ICE was like, okay,
you got us. We had her, and she is being
charged with assault because she was struggling when masked men
pulled her into an unmarked.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Right right right, right, right right right, So that.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
A person who they were able to just pull lift
off her feet and drag into an unmarked car.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
People who don't want to be disappeared are struggling when they.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Struggled that's being called assault. And yeah, I mean that's
what they do, that bullshit definition of assault. We are
at seventy nine right from like I don't know whatever
the math would be on that, like ten or something.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it's and it's like it's and
it's not like we've been doing the same amount on
the kidnappings a day too just before Trump. Oh wait, no,
it's because it's ramped up exponentially. Yeah, you're gonna get
more people who are like, what the fuck are you doing?
Who the fuck are you? I'm following the law. Who
the fuck are you?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
Yeah, So Christy Nome, like you said, like a lot
of people were complaining scared. Uh for ice agents was
like this is being used to target our people. And
ice Block grew in popularity and became the number one
app on Apple's app.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Store streisand effected that thing.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Yeah. Yeah, they ended the fuck out of it. It
is over Google Map, which is pretty cool jesus.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Also, when I searched ice Block in the app store,
I noticed there's some ice Block themed puzzle games. It
seemed to be having a nice week as well. Yeah,
a little bump, But so Trump supporters are trying to
like flood the app and make it unusable. But Trump
is also threatening with legal action. But like the app
has been thoroughly vetted. I don't know if it's been
(25:03):
thoroughly funded, though. You would think something that comes comes
up to meet the moment like this would get a
ton of funding, but less anti fascist apps something.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Yeah, I feel like we can get clever.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
You know a lot of apps have like map things
where you can drop pins and things like that. I mean,
I remember when the Eaton fire broke out, there was
a public Google map where in real time people were
reporting like what parts of the neighborhoods were like going
up in flames. I remember that, Like that was the
most intense looking at Google Maps I've ever done in
my life.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Yeah, but it's again.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Like this is just a thing that in fucking you
know these like like ways in these other navigation apps,
there's the thing like say there's a cop there setting
you can do that, but okay, all right, yeah, because
again they don't want to actually interrogate or analyze or
reckon with like what they are actually doing, And it's
(25:58):
much easier to be like the ice. Ice is the
good guys and anyone who's against him is bad, okay,
And I'm not gonna hear anything else who will not
hear of it.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
That's what That's what good guys in the movies are
always saying, I will.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Not hear of it exactly. Now, disappear this child.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
All right. Those are some of the things that are
trending on this July ninth. We are back tomorrow with
a whole last episode of the show. Until then, be
kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get your vaccines.
Weights still can get your flu shots, we still can.
Don't do nothing about white supremacy. And we will talk
to you all tomorrow.

Bye bye.
