Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Trends
Right to Activists. UM, that is courtesy Well, I gotta
find out who that's courtesy of, UM, because I don't
want people to think that it's courtesy of me. I'm
Jack and that well that is the eagerly anticipated return
of super Producer. It's a brilliant the talented Hanna hold me. Wow,
(00:26):
they thought they could kill me by day no one.
No one's tried to kill me. I've just been here.
I've just been a little busy. They thought they could
kill me. What they didn't know is, um, they don't exist.
It's what they didn't know. Johnny Davis said his courtesy
of Johnny Davis trend rights Activists. Uh, he's gotten other
problematic groups for future trending short show titles. Shout out
(00:50):
to Johnny Davis. Uh. Yeah, it's it's great to be
back on Mike with you. The only way that I'm
allowed to, you know, openly converse with someone is on Mike.
So it's good I have that. I had that severance
procedure where I have a personality and can be fully
alive one on Mike and then I don't remember anything.
(01:12):
I say on Mike once we stopped recording, and I'm
just like, yeah, you simply must stop trying to make
severance happen. It's really fucked up. There's a darkness there,
and I don't appreciate it. I don't know. It just
looks fun. Why did people think that was dark? I
saw that show and I was like, that looks fun, fun,
(01:33):
And then you became an active lobbyist for several for
severance for a severance procedure. Anyways, on a we got
a lot to get to today. I mean, the big
news we might as well not delay anymore. Beyonce dropping
Renaissance uh subtitle Act one on July. I believe it
(01:56):
is sixteen tracks. Did I see that right? Yes? Yes, yes,
six teen tracks. I mean, we have been waiting since Lemonade,
uh to get a new album from Beyonce. Let me
tell you. I warned my partner. I said it's coming.
So just understand you will not be allowed to play
any other music in the house or in the car
forever until I've gotten my fairplay of the new album
(02:20):
starting July at midnight whenever it drops, uh. And yes,
I did immediately go to that website and by the
strange mystery box that she's offering everyone in four different poses.
No one knows what's coming. But you know what, I
just know one thing Beyonce told me to do. So
it is. It is. It just says, tell us what
(02:40):
the website experiences like. You go to the website and
it's like you can get a box one, box two.
It's pose one, post two, post three, post four. So
I think the idea is that each box has a
T shirt in it, and each T shirt well, I mean,
you know, it's like a problem c D promo. Well
you also have you click the link, they tell you
exactly what's in the body, collectible box or whatever, and
(03:06):
inside there's a T shirt. But each T shirt has
a different pose and there's four different posts, so it's
like Beyonce doing a different pose on each shirt. So
it's like you're kind of choosing a mystery pose to purchase.
UM question how many tracks have been on her past albums,
because I am wondering is this part of the trend
of there being too many tracks on every album that
(03:27):
comes out from now until forever? Um my mom Lemon,
I mean no, I don't think this is like a
trend with her, I don't. I just wanted to say, question, yeah,
I got that. I mean Lemonade. Lemonade had twelve and
then I think Beyonce had the Beyonce self Titled, Like
(03:50):
I say, I know, I like it. You're putting a
little traveled on it, has been traveling the world and
has come back with this new produce isation of Bonce.
Bonce Self Titled had fourteen four fourteen tracks on it,
so I think, you know, sixteen you know, maybe she's
(04:10):
kind of giving us a little now, you know. I
don't know if you noticed, but like a lot of
those um Kendrick Lamar tracks were just kind of like
the interstitial sort of bits that they used to do
back in the day, So hey, maybe some are gonna
be interstitials. I was really talking about Kendrick necessarily. I
think I think that album earns its tracks. I think
(04:31):
I think I was more talking about like the drake
of it all the you know what, I'm gonna shut
up right now because I might I might say something
that I regret. Uh break, yeah, you will. I don't know.
I'm hanging out with him this weekend. I just like,
don't wanna make it awkward. You know, Um, this is
the So that might be the thing that other people
have been anticipating, but the thing I've been anticipating is
(04:55):
uh the debut on this podcast. We we have had
you on before to talk about uh Oprah's things she
likes or whatever the funk she calls it. Um. Now, uh,
you have on your on your instagram, which everybody should
be following. What was selling, hon, Yes, I have an
(05:16):
instagram called at Selling Hosts Nie And now this is
where you go if you would like to be influenced
by me and you debuted on his favorite Things that
I want to talk to you about it because this
is you know, this is no fucking joke. Okay, tell
(05:36):
the people what are just give them a little taste
and then they can go to selling. Well. Yes, so
I will say I'm moving forward in this show. There
during this portion of the show, there will be no
humor my bed. So yeah, I you know, I I
used to love looking at Oprah's favorite Things list because
I love to see how a person who's so completely
(05:58):
out of touch with the world chooses to promote products, Uh,
you know, like four dollars slippers that you're like, Okay,
when You've clearly got sent these for free, and then
we're like, they're comfy, let's give them to the world.
But we don't live in Oprah's world. We live in
my world. That's my world. So yeah, I decided to
(06:23):
drop my own and as favorite things, it's a list
of thirty eight of my favorite things, if that wasn't clear,
ranging from comfortable shorts, two rompers, comfortable rompers, to pants
to bikini bottoms to jeans that I think fit a
woman who might not have the classic type of I'm
(06:46):
a size to body and lives in the real world
and enjoys, you know, existing without constantly working out like myself.
So I you know, I recommend items like that. I
do recommend slippers, they're not four hundred dollars though there's seven.
I recommend bags. I recommend items to make you appear young,
(07:10):
like bucket hats. Okay, and as you know, that is
my life long. I have officially entered middle age, and uh,
I'm so scared of death that all I'm doing is
trying to appear younger. Um wearing bucket hats. I'm wearing
bucket at right now. Um. I skateboarded into the recording studio,
(07:33):
and yeah, that's just how I get down. It's funny.
We all hurt your wife, Yella, you stop scaredboarding in
the house and we're like, wow, he is Young's leave
me a little mom Um. That was weird. Um. Yeah,
I recommend comfortable shoes because we're all getting old. What
is what is the because this dropped a couple of
(07:55):
weeks back, what is the favorite thing that has received
the most like fee back from from viewers, from subscribers.
I mean, I think a lot of I've gotten different
feedback on a lot of different items. People have really
just enjoyed my picks. And I say that with zero humbleness,
(08:17):
like I am killing it, just killing it with my
fav things picks. Yeah, and I also recommended like some
makeup and skincare stuff for my beautiful people out there
who want to have skin um like mine. I don't
know where else going with that. So there's just many options.
And I if you want to see my summer edition
(08:41):
of favorite Things, you can go to at selling Hosts
and it is under my highlights it just says things,
So that's where you can see all my favorite things.
I linked everything in the post in each post, and
also I write somewhat batshit copy for each one, which
I thought was really funny because I tagged all the
(09:02):
brands as some of the brands like reposted me, and
I was kind of like, Okay, you don't have to repost.
You give us one sample of your copy for this,
I will say, just while you while you leave that
up that. Uh. I am in no way equipped to
judge this sort of thing. Um, I am a bad consumer,
(09:24):
but my wife is very expert level consumer, maybe the
most expert level consumer that I know, just in terms
of her taste. She's not like constantly consuming things, but
she has good taste and she is one on board
with on his favorite things, which she was Yeah, she
gave good feedback. Yeah, she was like this, this is
(09:47):
huge for me. Yeah, why tell me that? I don't
know because I wasn't on Mike. I don't have that.
I can't like my brain doesn't work when we're not
on Mike. Wow, I can't believe you just kept that
for me this whole I live for what your wife
thinks of me. I'm not even joking. I love your wife.
Sometimes I think, why can't Jack's wife host The Daily sidegeist. Yeah. No,
(10:07):
it's a question that uh I asked her every day
and she's like, I'm a doctor. What don't you understand? Um?
All right, guy, so check out my petition for Jack's
wife taking over for him, because let me tell, if
you think Jack school holy ship, his wife is du
bomb dot com. No, no, that was very cool and yeah,
(10:32):
I think now people understand. Okay, now here's somebody with
a good taste and says the bomb dot com this
is yeah, So this is some copy I wrote about
a kind of like slingy, A slingy that's not right,
a sling back sort of bag. It's like a rope
bag that you know you can like it's it's just
(10:55):
a sling bag over the shoulder sort of bagh And
I wrote, Wow, this bitch out doorsy sometimes you know it.
Kafu is a Seattle based brand making some cool ass bags.
My best he injured them to me, so you know
I had to get the bag. Had to do you understand?
Had to Anyway, I take this anywhere in quotes outdoorsy
and mostly carry all my stuff that my dog needs
(11:18):
to be happy. No, seriously, you don't understand. He's very
high maintenance. He has me by the throat, please help.
I can't get out, and they reposted this They're like,
could someone please help this woman? Woman help? But she
also likes our bags. So there's like a lot of
stuff like that. And some of the brands are just
like okay, some just like them like uh huh crazy,
(11:42):
and then it's actually very mo them and I think
it's it was really funny to be I did say like,
thank you re for reposting, sorry for the madness, and
they were like whatever, whatever, we don't care whatever. You're
being held hostage. I guess, um, alright, so everybody is
what to do, go subscribe by like all that ship. Also,
(12:05):
just you know, I did proof read any of the
copy before I hit posts, so there's there's some weird
stuff in there that's clearly misspelled or just like I
wrote the wrong thing but was too lazy to go
correct it. One thing I wrote that I it was
it's like a type of powder for your face. But
I do find it for powder kind of expensive. It's
like in the fifty dollar range, but it's just good powder.
(12:26):
But I wrote that it's so expensive. I meant to
write I only buy it, like twice a year to
like not be just throwing my credit card around like
a mad woman. But I wrote, I only buy it
twice a month by accident. It makes me like, I'm
spending so much money on powder. Let me not use
(12:48):
enough powder in two weeks that I have to replenish it.
And I think that's really funny, and I just never
corrected it. There's somebody out there who's just like trying
to keep up with you. Yeah, it was like this
woman's face literally as white because I powdered so much.
But that's sorry. I meant to write twice a year,
and I just never felt the need to correct it
(13:08):
because then I thought it was just more funny that way. Well,
that's why they need to get the whole selling Hosny
a experience, which includes listening to your appearances on this show. Um,
there is a trailer making the rounds. It's called Blonde.
I don't think any any work of art should be
allowed to be called just blond, because uh, Frank Ocean
(13:29):
did that and it is a singular work of art.
And everybody should just just work harder, um, because you're
not gonna whatever you do is not gonna be as
good as that. But it's a Marilyn Monroe biopic by
the guy who made like Killing Them Softly and the
assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford, I
(13:50):
think is how that one goes. Um. And then he
made Mind Hunters, that Netflix series, which was great. I
did like it was pretty good. And now he's making
a Maryland Monroe biopic, uh, starring on a day armus
uh and it's like the big thing. I think the
(14:12):
reason that this is breaking through on conservative blogs, it
seems like, is that it's rated NC seventeen, and they
like put that in the like the trailers like from
Netflix n C seventeen, which I don't do you need
to know what the rating is for a Netflix show.
I feel like we just make our own decisions on those.
(14:32):
But you're a Netflix movie. I will say the energy
of NC seventeen feels very n to me, Like, what
what are you putting in a movie that is n
C seventeen. I don't know. I think they want you
to think that you're going to see just a bunch
of um, you know, Maryland Monroe sex footage because that
(14:58):
that I don't know it there. Yeah, read the World's Room, Like,
first of all, I'm not trying to be edgy anymore.
And also I don't have anything to hide from my
Like I'm not trying to hide like that. I'm watching
an edgy movie from my parents. Also, gen Z is
so advanced. They'll be like that's cross, you know, Like
they are not impressed. Like they're not gonna be like,
(15:19):
oh you got me with this weird scene that clearly
is so inappropriate. They're not impressed. So I don't know
who this is for this n C seventeen, Maybe just
make a skirtin wrny like people in the media, I think.
But but hasn't Maryland gone through enough? Especially the dress?
Oh my god, I can't believe that dress. Now in
(15:43):
a row of Marilyn Monroe content on the trending episode,
America can't get enough of Norma Jean. They were like
Kim k ruined the dress. So now you're only allowed
to watch an n C seventeen movie about Maryland. Why
don't you just give her some respect? I just feel
(16:03):
like this poor woman has been like literally just dragged
through crazy pop culture madness for no reason, like she
was also just a human being. The trailer has um
like kind of joker energy, like Marilyn Monroe is the joker.
Like it's it's just a you know. It has all
the dramatic like one point five seconds of one scene,
(16:27):
one point five seconds of another scene, like set to music,
but the main like spine of the trailer is Marilyn
Monroe looking in the camera being like, don't abandon me,
don't abandon me, and somebody being like she'll be here soon,
She'll be here soon. And then like she changed, like
a change comes over her. I don't know if her,
(16:49):
if her just like the drugs just hit. But it
turns out the thing that she was waiting for was
for Maryland to arrive. And then she just looked at
herself in a mirror and is like very happy and charming,
and yeah, she like turns it on for the cameras
to be like I'm Maryland. Nothing to see here. But
that's the problems, Like that's how they keep painting Maryland
(17:11):
as this like unhinged woman, as if like this is
who she was, and it's like, no, she was like
an actor in a time where like literally like women
were treated like figurines and like maybe killed by the
president and his brother, Like, whoa, okay, Jackie, Maybe I'm
(17:33):
just saying, um, yeah, sure, I don't. I honestly haven't
even heard that conspiracy theory. But somehow you find a
way to bring Jfkan to everything. Yeah. Oh you think
that Gilly Plaza had nothing to do with the untimely
demise of Marilyn Monroe. Wow? Now, who's naive? Anna? All right,
let's take a quick break. We'll be right back, and
(18:05):
we're back and we're going to do a mini streaming
corner here real quick. Um that you wanted to talk
about the marvelous Miss Maisal Um? Wow, you want to
talk about Miss Mark you mentioned ripped apart? My bad
(18:26):
Anna stands attack. I wish I had destroy him. No, No,
I want to talk about the new Disney Marvel series
MS Marvel because guess what, Kamala Kan our first Muslim
superhero baby. And let me tell you, this show sent me.
(18:50):
I knew it was coming, and I got very excited.
And then I watched the first two episodes this week
and I can't explain how I was one. First of
all beautifully done show, like just so well done. They
gave it the respect it deserved. Um, and I don't
know if that's just because like there's been like a
(19:14):
sort of slow representation rollout for young brown women such
as Mindy Kalings. Never have I ever I mean obviously
miss Marvel, uh we are lady parts. That has really
been like and I can't even express like how important
representation is because when I like see this stuff, I
(19:36):
like tear up. I hear a woman on like never
have I ever say, where's that beautiful dress? I bought
you from Costco? And like the way that hits home
in a way that you will. I have never seen
my own experience represented on television or movies really not
very often that like I start to cry, like I
also a beautiful dress room Costco. Because every grand parents
(19:59):
are fun being weird about you know, like that ship.
It's so hard that like it matters. I mean I
think we're all like, wow, yeah, we finally did it.
But like I think the extent of the way it
like hits a child who grew up like that is
like I can't even explain, like it it ruins me
and watching this Marvel like they were the parents are
(20:22):
my parents, Like everything, like the looks the mom would give,
I'd be like I've seen that. Look my whole life,
the kind of nutty things the dad says. I'm like,
my dad says like, that's the kind of crazy thinks.
My dad will say sometimes and I'm like, you were
so nutty, and like just everything about it, like they
in the language they use like they you know, it's
just and you know. There's a scene where they're in
(20:44):
the mass ship or the mosque if you will, uh,
and they're like kind of acting a fool and I
was like that was me as a kid, Like that
was me. I was late, I was talking and they're like,
puck your fucking phone away, and You're like, god, damn, dude,
why is someone so strict? And You're like, just like
everything about it. They see a hot guy and her
and her friend, who is also a muscle are like
mush and I'm like, these are the things that you're like, yes,
(21:07):
thank you, this is what I wanted to see. I
wanted to see this representation and also in the context
of her also being a superhero incredible, I recommend it.
Is this the same as like Captain Marvel, Like it
is the character the same and it's a prequel or
what are we working with in terms of Marvel. Captain
(21:28):
Marvel's a different superhero, so I think it's it's within
the same world, but she's now Miss Marvel. And then
there was Captain Marvel is um Brie Larson's character who
is a different superhero but is in the same cinematic
universe because she looks up to Captain Marvel. Okay, yeah,
(21:48):
very cool. Um, this is the same world the Avengers happened,
and I believe, so it's an interesting and the Marvel
universe contains multitudes literally. Um, all right, well we will
be checking that out. Uh. Finally, NBA Game six is
coming up. Um, how are you experiencing the NBA Finals
(22:09):
from your end? Are you experiencing Yeah? Yeah, I mean
they're always on else, Um, because my partner watches them
and there's sort of a interesting thing going on. Um. Now,
I obviously I grew up in the Bay Area, so
I'm a Warriors person, but I also lived in l
a for over, you know, like ten years, so I'm
a Lakers person. I'm I honestly, like I've always said this,
(22:30):
like I'm not as connected so much with the team's
per se is more with the players, Like I have
my favorite players, and that also stems from the fact
how good they are on Instagram. All right, and yeah,
so I've been who's the Instagram All Star of the Finals?
Like not not like their work during the finals, but like,
who's your favorite player based on Instagram prowess that is
(22:54):
in the finals currently? Jack, what a wild question to
ask me? Do you have eight hours for me to
break it down for you? I will say the extended
Curry family is great. Uh. They're fun to watch because
they're all online and they are all, you know, interacting
with each other, and it's very interesting. That whole family
(23:15):
is very fun to follow. I follow wives, I follow cousins.
I am so steepid with that family. I'm like, I
think Seth Curry is also very funny because his wife
always posts him and he seems to not be having
and I always think that's very funny. There's a video, Yeah,
she does some stuff over at the ringer Callie Curry
(23:36):
recommend following her because she's, uh, she'll like be at
a concert. I think she was at a Justin Bieber
concert and she just pans over to Seth Curry and
she's like dancing, standing up, singing along and she pans
over to Seth Curry and he's just sitting crouched down
on his phone, scrolling, not acknowledging the concert at all,
And I'm like, this is this is the kind of
(23:56):
stuff we want to see you about, Like the real
basketball player who's not like, you know, an extreme athlete.
He's just a dad. He's not trying to like build
a brand as like a fun person at concert. He's
just like scrolling on his phone like I yeah, yeah,
just in Bigbor, He's just existing. And that's what I
(24:17):
love to see. It's just like they're just actual. These
are like incredible athletes who are also just people, just
like he's also just a dad who's just trying to
get through the day. I guess not all of us.
But and also you know, like Clay Clay's gray and um,
look Draymond for the amount of personality you're bringing m yeah,
(24:41):
I mean he picks his spots right. He has a
publishing as like mid series. Um. I think the the
Draymond of it all has been very very interesting to
me because people are he's so bad, he's so like annoying,
and I think he's like really really smart, really smart,
(25:06):
and like has just figured out like various things about
how games are officiated, and like that is a key
to their ability to kind of compete in this series. Alright, no,
no Celtics you want to highlight. Um, you know what
I'm actually here's the thing, Jack, you have influenced my Celtics. Know.
(25:29):
I love the Celtics, just like you told me, I don't.
I don't care for the Celtics. So I now all
of a sudden don't care for them. But like you know,
Jayson Tatum's interesting follow I'm not saying like I hate them,
but I have like in the back of my mind
like about them. I like Jayson Tatum is good, Marcus smart. Um,
(25:51):
I have no excuse to not like the Celtics, And
in fact, I've come around and I'm like enjoying them
in this finals. It's finally I've put my long immature
grudge behind me. Emy Udoka is the man, uh, the
their coach rules. Um. So I'm not like rooting for
(26:13):
them because I do really enjoy Golden State and just
like the fact that they're winning with just outside shooting essentially. Um.
But I don't know, I I do. I like Tatum,
I like Jaylen Brown. Um, yeah, Jalen Brown has a
great um. Jalen and Tatum are good Instagram. I like
(26:35):
Marcus Smart watching him play, but his graham work, His
graham needs work. Yeah, zaggy Graham there. Well there's something
about it's like you only post like highlights of you
playing basketball. Like I know you're a good basketball player, bro,
this is what you do. Come on, but like you know, uh,
Jalen will be like in the desert, like riding like
(26:58):
what are those things called rise ride on the sand? Yeah,
Like they'll just be doing other ship and you're like, yeah, yeah, okay,
they have fun alright, and I want to see you
having fun. Post a picture of you as a baby
with your mom. I wouldn't hate to see this. The
Celtics win tonight, force a Game seven because game seven.
(27:21):
Everything coming down to a Game seven is always fun.
So we we will see what happens. But I do
predict Celtics and seven now is my prediction. Even though
they're down in the series. I just think they're the
better team, So we will. We will see. Ana hosny

(27:46):

appreciate you, like kind of just being like you should
all be ashamed of that part of your body. Yeah,
you should be ashamed. And um, I actually wanted to
add to the Miss Marvel of it all. I'm also
