Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of trend
syncs back all right, who which, of course not an
in sync song? That's Backstreet Back all right, that's fine though.
That is what was happening in my brain when I
saw in sync was back. I was like, Oh, just
like that song that's by a different band, by them,
(00:21):
by kind of them. Backstreet was first and then in Sync.
Is that correct?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Yes, that is correct.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Okay, I'm Jack Beth Miles. This is elderly people. As
you hear elderly man, you hear his final synapses firing off.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Welcome, Welcome, welcome. You got a front row seat, y'all
to this one, your.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Jackson Show sundown Ing with Jack O'Brien. All Right, n
Sync reunited and it feels so good, so good for
some of us, as long as you don't look at
the people on the ends of the picture of them reuniting.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
They they got back together.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
We first saw this at the empty whatever MTV Awards
show just happened that I had zero interest in.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Had record low ratings. The VMAs did it.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah, We're we already hit peak VM Like when the
when the Jamiroquai dude hit the fucking conveyor belt on stage.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
That was peak VMAs, Like it was all downhill from there.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
That was a moment where I realized that my values
had changed, Like overnight is all summer. I was like,
Chris Rock was hosting the VMAs. I was like, Chris
Rock's hosting the VMA's is gonna be cool. And then
I got to college and like found out that the
VMAs had happened like three months ago, and I was like, wow,
that was not a thing. Yeah even registered, Like I
(01:53):
just totally forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I was just so focused on my studies and you know,
completely less track.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I didn't even seem do Virtual Insanity lives exactly. But yeah,
they were back there there.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Apparently they got like a single coming out from the
New Troll soundtrack, but off Mike. We were trying to
determine what the impetus was for them getting back together,
because they have not been seen together since twenty eighteen,
like when they were they got like a Walk of
Fame star and then they've all been doing their own thing.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
But now they're all back together.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
And I just went through here and I was trying
to figure out who needs money and why and why
we all need It's still hard to know. Do you
want to make more money?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Sure we all do. Do you remember that infomercial whos Oh,
do you want to make more money? Sure we all do?
It was like that late eighties, early nineties. Anyway. Yeah, yeah,
So Joey Fetone looks like he has age day generation,
(03:03):
like has lapped them by a generation. He looks like
he is their dad. Now. He dresses like he is
their dad. Now. He dresses like he was styled by
the person who styled Lebron James for his NBA Draft
night and went into a coma and then came out
and immediately was asked to style Joey Fatone.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
But Jack correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm no
stylist here. Does he still have the sleeve tag on
his brand new suit?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
He does? He does smiles or I don't know, unless
that's like a thing like a little he would say
that embellished and.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Sticker on your Yeah, but that looks like baby, I
mean that suit?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Is he really? He looks like a He doesn't just
look like a cop. He looks like a retired cop,
a disgrace. Yeah, he looks like a disgraced police captain.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Right right, Yeah, like like the most corrupt like precinct
in the NYPD. Yeah, was like under his command, he
was the watch commander. Shout out Lance Bass, who looks
the best out of all.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, Lance Bass looks better.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
J C.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah, not younger, but just like better. He looks like
he's like just more fully himself than is having a
great time. Good for him. J C.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Chase looks like like j C.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
George young, Like he's like like the main character from Blow.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
He's got he's the Oh.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
J C.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Chase is the one next to Justin Timberlake in this picture.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, with the Deviators.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah he has. Yeah, he's gone full blow. He saw
the movie Blow and it changed his whole ass personality.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, he's like me El Machico from now on.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
You're like, what the fuck is that? Have you seen Blow?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
In my country they called me Aho.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Anyway, I was a monologue I used to say really
annoyingly when I was twenty years old and Chris Kirkpatrick,
I'm the techno. Dreadlocks are gone.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
The chip still the chin beard, still intact, full intact,
Like has he stuck with that continuously?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
He may have, I don't have.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
That is impressive. Of all the bad styles that they
were rocking, that we all were rocking, but they in
particular were rocking a lot of bad ship in the
early nineties, like that was maybe the worst, the least
advisable to stick with. And he's just still still got it.
(05:34):
I wonder that's what he said when he saw them
for the first time, pointing to his chin and said,
still got it.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
See you boys, I'm here, read them. I never left,
never left. It's like it's like we're back in ninety
seven boys. Yeah, but also credits. I mean, how does
how is nobody bald?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
No? I mean I think I think, uh, there's a
lot going on with the uh hair plug technology from
what I understand.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
You think or do you think they genetically test these
people like before they enter the band to be like
we'll be all right fifteen years?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, you have to needed that.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Whoever that creepy like manager was like Lou Pearlman. I
wanted to say, Ron Pearlman, that's.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Non pro casts versions on the Yeah, hell boy, Like
I wonder if they're like, yeah, kit can sing and dance.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Let me see a picture of your mom's father real quick.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
At around forty Okay, yeah, they're in. They're in, They're in.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
But yeah, the question like, are they coming back together
because somebody needs money? Are they coming back together because
Justin Timberlake needed a win. But my guess is it's
because Justin Timberlake needed a win because he's like, you know,
we all we didn't find anything out new about him necessarily.
We just had a reevaluation, reevaluation of this man's role
(06:54):
with Janet Jackson, with Britney Spears, and we're like, maybe
not yeah, in fact, maybe not.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
At his like woodsman phase. Yeah, you forget about that.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Shit either Man of the Woods. Yeah. Yeah, there's just
like black and white pictures of him, like wading through
a pond in all denim. Yeah, no thing.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
We don't need that. We don't need that. But yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I'm sure part of it too is they're probably how
much is this fucking guy make it for.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
A Trolls movie?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Yeah, And they're probably like, hold on, bro, cut us
back into this shit, please, like you help out.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I believe the plot of the latest troll movie is
that Justin Timberlake's character in the Trolls movie, Uh, is
revealed to have been like part of a boy band
in the past, and so wait, are you for real?
I think so? Or that could have been the plot
of the last Trolls movie or every Trolls movie, but
(07:53):
that's what I and I think. The song that they
performed at the VMA's was oh yeah, a troll a
Trolls song, like a song for the movie Trolls. I'm
just wondering if yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You're right.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Poppy discovers that branch At his four brothers were once
part of our favorite boy boy band.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Fast nine times or just one.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, so so many times I said it Fast nine
times throughout the early nineties. But that is interesting because
that means that the impetus and the energy, the money
behind this reunion was in fact coming from Justin Timberlake. Wait,
you know, all these other dudes are making money like
they're probably you know, they have full time jobs like
(08:38):
flipping houses or whatever you do as a former member
of InSync, like being a club promoter, and we're probably like, yeah,
all right, man, yeah, okay, Justin needs us.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I guess I feel like part of them are nostalgic
enough that I don't think it was probably hard to
make it happen. Naude, there's you hear that?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Hear that beeping?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Bro, that's a Brinks truck backing up into your fucking
driveway to drop off cash.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, justin Timberlake's call to them, probably doesn't even reach
a full ring before they pick.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah. Yeah, dude, I'll do it. I'll do it.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
What I was gonna say, Dude, remember my uncle that
you really liked?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
He passed away. You want to know? Oh, okay, okay,
well but you had any business opportunity.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I don't remember him. Oh really, I thought I thought
you said you liked that one time. Anyways, named his
dog after you. Uh, Hunter Biden, who looks like he
could be a former member of incinc. Yeah, pretty handsome guy.
He's been indicted on firearms charges, folks, he's in trouble.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Indicted, double LP world excited or maybe just Fox the
Fox News set.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
But yeah, because what he was just he was lying
to get a gun.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, he's buying a gun while high on drugs, and
and uh, just everything about what he does is so cool. Sorry,
that's not that's not true. It's not cool. Guns aren't cool.
Drugs lead bad places, but it does just all sound
like shit from a like behind the music or you know,
(10:18):
like like all of the stories about him are like
out of a touring documentary about the Rolling Stones.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah right, it's like Keith got really messed up that night,
went out and bought a cult Cobra revolver, lied on
the application just so he could shoot a beer can
out of the air.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
But anyways, yeah, so he like they got him on
a technicality that like they're you know, legal to buy
gun while high on drugs, and he like lied about
that on a form and so he's probably he could
go to jail for ten years.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
And what a fucking world this guy, Like what please
look into the I know they got to be looking
into Jared Kushner. They have to be the amount of
money this guy was siphoning off like during like the administration,
I whatever, Like anyway.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Cool cool, cool, cool cool cool. But hey, you know, Hunter,
that's what happens.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Like I remember he had his like plea deal fall
apart two, so who knows, who knows what went on there,
but I'm sure they're going to really seize on that one.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, a drug bust on Donald Trump Junior like that
that would be bad for the world, right if there
was just if it seemed like there was like a
tit for tat thing happening. But like you could probably
get him for cocaine, right, He seems like he's you know,
I like glazed and barely open on cocaine most of
(11:52):
the time.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Now, I bet like a TikTok prankster could fucking entrap
this dude.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
It's not gonna d O J or.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
The FEDS sucking anybody.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I'm just low its low hanging fucking fruit.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Just a this is for a YouTube break show. We
just asked this guy if he wanted to buy drugs,
gave us you want to.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Buy a little coke, and he gave me his money
and then I gave him a miniature coke bottle and
he that's like, that's.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
What I do on my channel. Yeah, he really went
for it.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Anyways, Uh, let's take a quick break and we'll be
right back. And we're back. And as we talked about
weeks ago, the Trump campaign immediately turned his mugshot into
(12:51):
a fundraising opportunity cash cow, plastering the jpeg onto like
every piece of shitty merchandise, imaginable T shirts, posters, beer, koozies.
There's even a version where it's like an like they
photo shopped his mugshot to resemble Obama's hope poster. But
(13:15):
it just looks like shit, Like it doesn't. Yeah, it's
not recognizable as the mugshot necessarily it does it like
it you need a very specific image of a person
for that to scan as like hopeful, and so he
just looks like it's a villain.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, because no one understood.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Like, I guess they're doing their version of what they
think Shepherd Fairy was doing with that Obama portrait, and
they're like, you just got to do like fucking wild
ass highlights in red, white and blue all over.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
The face, even if it completely obscures that fucking shape.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Of the face. Yeah. According to the campaign, the strategy worked.
They raised more than seven million dollars in the wake
of the mugshot merch push. Oliver Netsky also will soon
become a bobblehead.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
It don't like the mug shot, just like the like
a mug shot bobblehead.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, I guess they're gonna that one. I'm kind of
intrigued to see what do you look like.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Because that like never surrenders Shepherd fairy ripoff like it
makes Donald Trump look like an Ultimate Warrior toy that
was microwaved for fifteen seconds.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, it really. He looks like he's melting.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
He looked like but like with that specific face paint
design that Ultimate Warrior had back in the WWF days.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah, yeah, like a melted cran sculpture of the Ultimate Warrior.
Bad job, bad jobs all around. Yeah, particularly because that
ship's illegal.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Oh they wait, oh sorry, what was that part?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, you don't own that. Like I guess there's like
fair use arguments, but that fair you does not count
when you're raising money explicitly off of it.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
He says, you can't claim fairy use, like what, I
took the image directly and I put it on a
consumer good.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I'm now selling and keeping all the money.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah. Legal. It seemed to back up a claim made
by the Fulton County Sheriff's Office that the county owns
that they say the rights to the image likely belonged
to the Sheriff's office or the state.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Sow uh oh, I mean, will they do something about it?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
But it's just like that real standard, because so I
guess if this had been a federal booking photo, then
it would have been free to use. But it's like
that Trump version of legal understanding, where it's just well,
what what like, it's just like what he heard from
a lawyer he golfs with, you know, right, that drives
(15:59):
his understanding what's legal?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I just who owns it?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
It feels like that scene in Boogie Nights when they're
trying to get the tapes from their hit song they recorded, yeah,
when he's like you, yeah, sure. Granted the tapes themselves
are like you own them. But the magic that is
on those tapes, that fucking heart and soul that we've
put in the.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
That's ours and you don't know that. That's the logic.
That's logic exactly. Also the Ultra Right beer guy, Yeah yeah,
so that's still somehow a thing. Uh, And he announced
a new limited edition beer with Trump's smugshot on the can. Naturally,
this was announced in a video in which that guy,
(16:41):
the CEO, wigs into a swimming pool while wearing a
suit like somebody who has lost their actual mind set
to the two Dido's Thank You was.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
The Dido thank You video?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Really? Like? Is that a reference to that? Is that
what happened, like.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
In my mind that could be the only I mean,
without me knowing anything, because I'm looking at this picture
and it's confusing to see a guy just gonna half
like waist high in a pool and like you want
to buy a beer.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Yeah, it's very very strange, a real tonal shift from
where he was just like this cockture guy coming out
of restrooms where he was drinking beer.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, enjoying a beer in my in
the men's rooms, having a beer.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
In the men's room. Yeah, at a public park anyways.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Well, I'm glad it's at a competitive price.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Sixty yeah, six pack for forty bucks. Supposedly a portion
of the proceeds from the beer wapping ten percent will
be going to GOP legal defense funds in Georgia to
quote fight the communists running the Fulton District Attorney's office. Yeah, yep, yeah,
real communists.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
What the fuck man words mean nothing anymore.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
And it's like I was reading a little bit more
about how like the sort of parallel conservative economy that's
starting to emerge of like people being like, why don't
target no more? So I'll use like some weird website
where I buy like overpriced crap. I don't know they
tried every couple of years, but man, a forty dollars
(18:14):
six pack. Good luck to those who have it.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, and finally we have a bit of news, Miles.
What number iPhone do you have?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Twelve?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Me as well, got my head three years.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Okay, I got mine right before the pandemic.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Hasn't been far from me the entire three years that
I've had it, because you know, a modern Western do
you keep.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
It on a neck lanyard?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Keep it when I'm showering? Yeah, like a like soap
on a rope, keep an iPhone on a rope. Anyways,
Apple has been ordered to stop selling the iPhone twelve,
in particular in France, due to tests that reveal that
it emits electromagnetic radiation levels that are above EU standards
(19:04):
for disposure. Apple disputed the findings, but I don't know
how well you know our rule about how like you
should always kind of look to the EU for stuff
that is not legal there to be wary because they
are you know, governments that still seem to be run
(19:27):
by human beings as opposed to corporations. So this is
bad news for my thighs.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I think, Oh wait, do I even have a twelve? Wait?
Speaker 3 (19:38):
This phone came out in twenty twenty. Oh, then maybe
I don't have Maybe I have eleven. I'm good, bro,
I think I'm good.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I'm good. Good for you, man, damn Jack?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Wow ful? Oh yeah, I got an eleven.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Whooh see your boy likes to he moved slow with
the upgrades.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I missed the rate active one.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Wait are you checking girls? I'm checking on now.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Wow, We're fucking wild.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
You find it, go to you, go to your settings General.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
iPhone twelve pro macs.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Okay, well, hey, it's even bigger prayers up for you, Jack.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Radiation delivered it directly to your upper legs and reproductive area.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I like how they said when the phone the phone
passed the test when kept in a jacket or bag,
but not when held in hand or carried in a pocket.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Oh good, I've never carried it in my pocket.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Or held it in my hand.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Good the two places. I've never put my phone in
my hand or my pocket. Luckily, though, it's they say
that amount of radiation isn't necessarily going to cause damage
to a person, But it's just they set those levels
for a reason.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, I think they set those levels for a reason.
You know, maybe not tomorrow, but right, bad news, long
run for uh you know, but it's not in it.
Like you can always have that part of your body
cut off, like your upper leg and like the the joint,
you know, your hip joint. That's easy stuff to just
(21:13):
trim off.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah, very easy part of the
body that when you're elderly and something happens to your hip,
very very simple thing to solve.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah yeah, because you can just like by the time
we're older, I'll probably just be able to like be
a kranng and like be in some other larger like
being's body that I control with my brain.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
So what's uh yeah, or what was what was the
dude called in total recaquato?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, quatto? You can quadow it up.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
How we're gonna have anybody know.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
You might have a quatto from this phone.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Oh yeah, and then I quatto onto something bigger.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Once I can't use my hips any more.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I'm sweating. Uh yeah, the fixure that reference miles. But
I think by that time we'll probably just be in
wally type chair situations.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah, so we'll be good.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
But it's wild that they said that they could probably
fix it in an update.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah. That's the thing that kind of bothers me, because
I was like, well, wait, why hasn't this been an
issue to this point, And it sounds like it is
based on updates, which like makes me kind of fucks
me up even more. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, where it's almost like, so, then could you, like,
I mean, if I'm being cynical, update a phone to
put out more electromagnetic radiation.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
They say that particular model appears to throw off higher radiation,
but it maybe I do love the casual it's just
tossing off additional high radiation, but it may be associated
with the initial stage of connection, when the phone is
looking for a transmit received signal. Mm hmmm cool. So
(23:03):
I'll just be be sure to look out for that.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah, Jack, you know how, you know how that goes?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, I have a sense of I'm very in touch
with my phone and it's uh what it's looking for
at any given moment. Anyways, Uh, that that's gonna do
it for this Thursday. We are back tomorrow with the
whole last episode of the show. Heck yeah, until then,
(23:30):
kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get the vaccine,
don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Bye bye,
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of trend
syncs back all right, who which, of course not an
in sync song? That's Backstreet Back all right, that's fine though.
That is what was happening in my brain when I
saw in sync was back. I was like, Oh, just
like that song that's by a different band, by them,
(00:21):
by kind of them. Backstreet was first and then in Sync.
Is that correct?
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Yes, that is correct.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Okay, I'm Jack Beth Miles. This is elderly people. As
you hear elderly man, you hear his final synapses firing off.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Welcome, Welcome, welcome. You got a front row seat, y'all
to this one, your.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Jackson Show sundown Ing with Jack O'Brien. All Right, n
Sync reunited and it feels so good, so good for
some of us, as long as you don't look at
the people on the ends of the picture of them reuniting.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
They they got back together.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
We first saw this at the empty whatever MTV Awards
show just happened that I had zero interest in.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Had record low ratings. The VMAs did it.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah, We're we already hit peak VM Like when the
when the Jamiroquai dude hit the fucking conveyor belt on stage.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
That was peak VMAs, Like it was all downhill from there.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
That was a moment where I realized that my values
had changed, Like overnight is all summer. I was like,
Chris Rock was hosting the VMAs. I was like, Chris
Rock's hosting the VMA's is gonna be cool. And then
I got to college and like found out that the
VMAs had happened like three months ago, and I was like, wow,
that was not a thing. Yeah even registered, Like I
(01:53):
just totally forgot about that.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
I was just so focused on my studies and you know,
completely less track.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I didn't even seem do Virtual Insanity lives exactly. But yeah,
they were back there there.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Apparently they got like a single coming out from the
New Troll soundtrack, but off Mike. We were trying to
determine what the impetus was for them getting back together,
because they have not been seen together since twenty eighteen,
like when they were they got like a Walk of
Fame star and then they've all been doing their own thing.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
But now they're all back together.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
And I just went through here and I was trying
to figure out who needs money and why and why
we all need It's still hard to know. Do you
want to make more money?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Sure we all do. Do you remember that infomercial whos Oh,
do you want to make more money? Sure we all do?
It was like that late eighties, early nineties. Anyway. Yeah, yeah,
So Joey Fetone looks like he has age day generation,
(03:03):
like has lapped them by a generation. He looks like
he is their dad. Now. He dresses like he is
their dad. Now. He dresses like he was styled by
the person who styled Lebron James for his NBA Draft
night and went into a coma and then came out
and immediately was asked to style Joey Fatone.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
But Jack correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm no
stylist here. Does he still have the sleeve tag on
his brand new suit?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
He does? He does smiles or I don't know, unless
that's like a thing like a little he would say
that embellished and.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Sticker on your Yeah, but that looks like baby, I
mean that suit?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Is he really? He looks like a He doesn't just
look like a cop. He looks like a retired cop,
a disgrace. Yeah, he looks like a disgraced police captain.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Right right, Yeah, like like the most corrupt like precinct
in the NYPD. Yeah, was like under his command, he
was the watch commander. Shout out Lance Bass, who looks
the best out of all.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah, Lance Bass looks better.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
J C.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah, not younger, but just like better. He looks like
he's like just more fully himself than is having a
great time. Good for him. J C.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Chase looks like like j C.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
George young, Like he's like like the main character from Blow.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
He's got he's the Oh.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
J C.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Chase is the one next to Justin Timberlake in this picture.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, with the Deviators.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah he has. Yeah, he's gone full blow. He saw
the movie Blow and it changed his whole ass personality.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Yeah, he's like me El Machico from now on.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
You're like, what the fuck is that? Have you seen Blow?
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
In my country they called me Aho.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Anyway, I was a monologue I used to say really
annoyingly when I was twenty years old and Chris Kirkpatrick,
I'm the techno. Dreadlocks are gone.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
The chip still the chin beard, still intact, full intact,
Like has he stuck with that continuously?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
He may have, I don't have.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
That is impressive. Of all the bad styles that they
were rocking, that we all were rocking, but they in
particular were rocking a lot of bad ship in the
early nineties, like that was maybe the worst, the least
advisable to stick with. And he's just still still got it.
(05:34):
I wonder that's what he said when he saw them
for the first time, pointing to his chin and said,
still got it.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
See you boys, I'm here, read them. I never left,
never left. It's like it's like we're back in ninety
seven boys. Yeah, but also credits. I mean, how does
how is nobody bald?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
No? I mean I think I think, uh, there's a
lot going on with the uh hair plug technology from
what I understand.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
You think or do you think they genetically test these
people like before they enter the band to be like
we'll be all right fifteen years?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, you have to needed that.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Whoever that creepy like manager was like Lou Pearlman. I
wanted to say, Ron Pearlman, that's.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Non pro casts versions on the Yeah, hell boy, Like
I wonder if they're like, yeah, kit can sing and dance.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Let me see a picture of your mom's father real quick.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
At around forty Okay, yeah, they're in. They're in, They're in.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
But yeah, the question like, are they coming back together
because somebody needs money? Are they coming back together because
Justin Timberlake needed a win. But my guess is it's
because Justin Timberlake needed a win because he's like, you know,
we all we didn't find anything out new about him necessarily.
We just had a reevaluation, reevaluation of this man's role
(06:54):
with Janet Jackson, with Britney Spears, and we're like, maybe
not yeah, in fact, maybe not.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
At his like woodsman phase. Yeah, you forget about that.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Shit either Man of the Woods. Yeah. Yeah, there's just
like black and white pictures of him, like wading through
a pond in all denim. Yeah, no thing.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
We don't need that. We don't need that. But yeah,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I'm sure part of it too is they're probably how
much is this fucking guy make it for.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
A Trolls movie?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Yeah, And they're probably like, hold on, bro, cut us
back into this shit, please, like you help out.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I believe the plot of the latest troll movie is
that Justin Timberlake's character in the Trolls movie, Uh, is
revealed to have been like part of a boy band
in the past, and so wait, are you for real?
I think so? Or that could have been the plot
of the last Trolls movie or every Trolls movie, but
(07:53):
that's what I and I think. The song that they
performed at the VMA's was oh yeah, a troll a
Trolls song, like a song for the movie Trolls. I'm
just wondering if yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
You're right.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Poppy discovers that branch At his four brothers were once
part of our favorite boy boy band.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Fast nine times or just one.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Yeah, so so many times I said it Fast nine
times throughout the early nineties. But that is interesting because
that means that the impetus and the energy, the money
behind this reunion was in fact coming from Justin Timberlake. Wait,
you know, all these other dudes are making money like
they're probably you know, they have full time jobs like
(08:38):
flipping houses or whatever you do as a former member
of InSync, like being a club promoter, and we're probably like, yeah,
all right, man, yeah, okay, Justin needs us.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
I guess I feel like part of them are nostalgic
enough that I don't think it was probably hard to
make it happen. Naude, there's you hear that?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Hear that beeping?
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Bro, that's a Brinks truck backing up into your fucking
driveway to drop off cash.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, justin Timberlake's call to them, probably doesn't even reach
a full ring before they pick.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah. Yeah, dude, I'll do it. I'll do it.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
What I was gonna say, Dude, remember my uncle that
you really liked?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
He passed away. You want to know? Oh, okay, okay,
well but you had any business opportunity.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I don't remember him. Oh really, I thought I thought
you said you liked that one time. Anyways, named his
dog after you. Uh, Hunter Biden, who looks like he
could be a former member of incinc. Yeah, pretty handsome guy.
He's been indicted on firearms charges, folks, he's in trouble.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Indicted, double LP world excited or maybe just Fox the
Fox News set.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
But yeah, because what he was just he was lying
to get a gun.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Yeah, he's buying a gun while high on drugs, and
and uh, just everything about what he does is so cool. Sorry,
that's not that's not true. It's not cool. Guns aren't cool.
Drugs lead bad places, but it does just all sound
like shit from a like behind the music or you know,
(10:18):
like like all of the stories about him are like
out of a touring documentary about the Rolling Stones.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yeah right, it's like Keith got really messed up that night,
went out and bought a cult Cobra revolver, lied on
the application just so he could shoot a beer can
out of the air.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
But anyways, yeah, so he like they got him on
a technicality that like they're you know, legal to buy
gun while high on drugs, and he like lied about
that on a form and so he's probably he could
go to jail for ten years.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
And what a fucking world this guy, Like what please
look into the I know they got to be looking
into Jared Kushner. They have to be the amount of
money this guy was siphoning off like during like the administration,
I whatever, Like anyway.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Cool cool, cool, cool cool cool. But hey, you know, Hunter,
that's what happens.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Like I remember he had his like plea deal fall
apart two, so who knows, who knows what went on there,
but I'm sure they're going to really seize on that one.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, a drug bust on Donald Trump Junior like that
that would be bad for the world, right if there
was just if it seemed like there was like a
tit for tat thing happening. But like you could probably
get him for cocaine, right, He seems like he's you know,
I like glazed and barely open on cocaine most of
(11:52):
the time.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Now, I bet like a TikTok prankster could fucking entrap
this dude.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
It's not gonna d O J or.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
The FEDS sucking anybody.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I'm just low its low hanging fucking fruit.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Just a this is for a YouTube break show. We
just asked this guy if he wanted to buy drugs,
gave us you want to.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Buy a little coke, and he gave me his money
and then I gave him a miniature coke bottle and
he that's like, that's.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
What I do on my channel. Yeah, he really went
for it.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
Anyways, Uh, let's take a quick break and we'll be
right back. And we're back. And as we talked about
weeks ago, the Trump campaign immediately turned his mugshot into
(12:51):
a fundraising opportunity cash cow, plastering the jpeg onto like
every piece of shitty merchandise, imaginable T shirts, posters, beer, koozies.
There's even a version where it's like an like they
photo shopped his mugshot to resemble Obama's hope poster. But
(13:15):
it just looks like shit, Like it doesn't. Yeah, it's
not recognizable as the mugshot necessarily it does it like
it you need a very specific image of a person
for that to scan as like hopeful, and so he
just looks like it's a villain.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Yeah, because no one understood.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Like, I guess they're doing their version of what they
think Shepherd Fairy was doing with that Obama portrait, and
they're like, you just got to do like fucking wild
ass highlights in red, white and blue all over.
Speaker 2 (13:47):
The face, even if it completely obscures that fucking shape.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Of the face. Yeah. According to the campaign, the strategy worked.
They raised more than seven million dollars in the wake
of the mugshot merch push. Oliver Netsky also will soon
become a bobblehead.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
It don't like the mug shot, just like the like
a mug shot bobblehead.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Yeah, I guess they're gonna that one. I'm kind of
intrigued to see what do you look like.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Because that like never surrenders Shepherd fairy ripoff like it
makes Donald Trump look like an Ultimate Warrior toy that
was microwaved for fifteen seconds.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, it really. He looks like he's melting.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
He looked like but like with that specific face paint
design that Ultimate Warrior had back in the WWF days.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Yeah, yeah, like a melted cran sculpture of the Ultimate Warrior.
Bad job, bad jobs all around. Yeah, particularly because that
ship's illegal.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Oh they wait, oh sorry, what was that part?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah, you don't own that. Like I guess there's like
fair use arguments, but that fair you does not count
when you're raising money explicitly off of it.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
He says, you can't claim fairy use, like what, I
took the image directly and I put it on a
consumer good.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
I'm now selling and keeping all the money.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah. Legal. It seemed to back up a claim made
by the Fulton County Sheriff's Office that the county owns
that they say the rights to the image likely belonged
to the Sheriff's office or the state.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Sow uh oh, I mean, will they do something about it?
Speaker 1 (15:35):
But it's just like that real standard, because so I
guess if this had been a federal booking photo, then
it would have been free to use. But it's like
that Trump version of legal understanding, where it's just well,
what what like, it's just like what he heard from
a lawyer he golfs with, you know, right, that drives
(15:59):
his understanding what's legal?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
I just who owns it?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
It feels like that scene in Boogie Nights when they're
trying to get the tapes from their hit song they recorded, yeah,
when he's like you, yeah, sure. Granted the tapes themselves
are like you own them. But the magic that is
on those tapes, that fucking heart and soul that we've
put in the.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
That's ours and you don't know that. That's the logic.
That's logic exactly. Also the Ultra Right beer guy, Yeah yeah,
so that's still somehow a thing. Uh, And he announced
a new limited edition beer with Trump's smugshot on the can. Naturally,
this was announced in a video in which that guy,
(16:41):
the CEO, wigs into a swimming pool while wearing a
suit like somebody who has lost their actual mind set
to the two Dido's Thank You was.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
The Dido thank You video?
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Really? Like? Is that a reference to that? Is that
what happened, like.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
In my mind that could be the only I mean,
without me knowing anything, because I'm looking at this picture
and it's confusing to see a guy just gonna half
like waist high in a pool and like you want
to buy a beer.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Yeah, it's very very strange, a real tonal shift from
where he was just like this cockture guy coming out
of restrooms where he was drinking beer.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, enjoying a beer in my in
the men's rooms, having a beer.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
In the men's room. Yeah, at a public park anyways.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Well, I'm glad it's at a competitive price.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Sixty yeah, six pack for forty bucks. Supposedly a portion
of the proceeds from the beer wapping ten percent will
be going to GOP legal defense funds in Georgia to
quote fight the communists running the Fulton District Attorney's office. Yeah, yep, yeah,
real communists.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
What the fuck man words mean nothing anymore.
Speaker 3 (17:54):
And it's like I was reading a little bit more
about how like the sort of parallel conservative economy that's
starting to emerge of like people being like, why don't
target no more? So I'll use like some weird website
where I buy like overpriced crap. I don't know they
tried every couple of years, but man, a forty dollars
(18:14):
six pack. Good luck to those who have it.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, and finally we have a bit of news, Miles.
What number iPhone do you have?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Twelve?
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Me as well, got my head three years.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Okay, I got mine right before the pandemic.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Hasn't been far from me the entire three years that
I've had it, because you know, a modern Western do
you keep.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
It on a neck lanyard?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Keep it when I'm showering? Yeah, like a like soap
on a rope, keep an iPhone on a rope. Anyways,
Apple has been ordered to stop selling the iPhone twelve,
in particular in France, due to tests that reveal that
it emits electromagnetic radiation levels that are above EU standards
(19:04):
for disposure. Apple disputed the findings, but I don't know
how well you know our rule about how like you
should always kind of look to the EU for stuff
that is not legal there to be wary because they
are you know, governments that still seem to be run
(19:27):
by human beings as opposed to corporations. So this is
bad news for my thighs.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
I think, Oh wait, do I even have a twelve? Wait?
Speaker 3 (19:38):
This phone came out in twenty twenty. Oh, then maybe
I don't have Maybe I have eleven. I'm good, bro,
I think I'm good.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I'm good. Good for you, man, damn Jack?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Wow ful? Oh yeah, I got an eleven.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Whooh see your boy likes to he moved slow with
the upgrades.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
I missed the rate active one.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Wait are you checking girls? I'm checking on now.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Wow, We're fucking wild.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
You find it, go to you, go to your settings General.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
iPhone twelve pro macs.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Okay, well, hey, it's even bigger prayers up for you, Jack.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Radiation delivered it directly to your upper legs and reproductive area.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
I like how they said when the phone the phone
passed the test when kept in a jacket or bag,
but not when held in hand or carried in a pocket.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Oh good, I've never carried it in my pocket.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Or held it in my hand.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
Good the two places. I've never put my phone in
my hand or my pocket. Luckily, though, it's they say
that amount of radiation isn't necessarily going to cause damage
to a person, But it's just they set those levels
for a reason.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Yeah, I think they set those levels for a reason.
You know, maybe not tomorrow, but right, bad news, long
run for uh you know, but it's not in it.
Like you can always have that part of your body
cut off, like your upper leg and like the the joint,
you know, your hip joint. That's easy stuff to just
(21:13):
trim off.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah, very easy part of the
body that when you're elderly and something happens to your hip,
very very simple thing to solve.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Yeah yeah, because you can just like by the time
we're older, I'll probably just be able to like be
a kranng and like be in some other larger like
being's body that I control with my brain.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
So what's uh yeah, or what was what was the
dude called in total recaquato?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Yeah, quatto? You can quadow it up.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
How we're gonna have anybody know.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
You might have a quatto from this phone.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Oh yeah, and then I quatto onto something bigger.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Once I can't use my hips any more.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
I'm sweating. Uh yeah, the fixure that reference miles. But
I think by that time we'll probably just be in
wally type chair situations.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Yeah, so we'll be good.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:13):
But it's wild that they said that they could probably
fix it in an update.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Yeah. That's the thing that kind of bothers me, because
I was like, well, wait, why hasn't this been an
issue to this point, And it sounds like it is
based on updates, which like makes me kind of fucks
me up even more. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, where it's almost like, so, then could you, like,
I mean, if I'm being cynical, update a phone to
put out more electromagnetic radiation.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
They say that particular model appears to throw off higher radiation,
but it maybe I do love the casual it's just
tossing off additional high radiation, but it may be associated
with the initial stage of connection, when the phone is
looking for a transmit received signal. Mm hmmm cool. So
(23:03):
I'll just be be sure to look out for that.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah, Jack, you know how, you know how that goes?
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Yeah, I have a sense of I'm very in touch
with my phone and it's uh what it's looking for
at any given moment. Anyways, Uh, that that's gonna do
it for this Thursday. We are back tomorrow with the
whole last episode of the show. Heck yeah, until then,
(23:30):
kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get the vaccine,
don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
to you all tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
