Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Trendy's
Got a Gun? What did her Trendy do? Let's courtesy
a Fighter of the Night man Um and Eric Smith
Ros Smith. Yeah that's right. Yeah, it's so funny. In
(00:20):
my mind as a kid, I only knew who Aerosmith
was once Alicia Silverstone started being in the music videos.
So anything that predated that, like Get a Grip, wasn't
that one of their albums? Like yeah, dude, that like
before that, Like when I heard Shan, I'm like, that
(00:40):
ain't sucking hero Smith? Like in my mind, I'm like, yeah,
they don't do those songs. That's how I found out
about Batman was through Alicia Silverstones up here and what
is she about? Anyways? I'm Jack, you are miles the
world's worst pearl jam fan. Here are somethings that are trending? Wait,
(01:01):
I meant Errol Smith. I was like, all right, man,
I'm sure there was some logic to that that I
just hadn't worked. I got a lot of mental tables.
I got a lot of tables, man, a lot. I
got a lot of tables. Man, have we explained what
that is? People are most I pick up most of
the movie references we throw out from our geriatric minds,
(01:22):
but that's from the cable guy. When they go to
medieval times and Jenny Garoffalo is the wench serving them,
and Matthew Broderick says, excuse me, could I get could
I get some utensils? And journey Garofolo says, uh, there
were no utensils in medieval times, hence there are no
utensils at medieval times. But Brodrick says they had no utensils,
(01:43):
but they had pepsi, to which it's Garofolo response, Look, man,
I got a lot of tables and they keeps it moving.
So keeps it moving, like we're about too. As we
dive into our first trend, which continues to be Madison Cathorne, Um,
they're just burying this young man in videos like leaks
(02:08):
the pictures. When the left is trying to say don't
vote for Madison Cawthorne, they're like, he's a fascist. He
loves Hitler, he brings guns on planes, like the rules
don't matter, should we go on? He votes for everything
against your human rights. When the right goes after Madison Cawthorne,
they were like, yo, he was touching this guy when
(02:28):
he was when he was younger, he's jackassing around. Maybe
something's wrong with him. Yeah, the things that are like
smears for the right make maybe like, oh, he looks
like he has a good time. Yeah, it's weird with
his buddy because like the videos are like him just
being a jackass, like one where he's like, I don't know,
(02:50):
he's like putting his hand on his like cousins lap.
It's like a lot of these videos are him sucking
around with his cousin, Yeah, being a jackass as I
feel like all high school sports coaches like yeah, yeah.
And that's why I find it very weird where I'm
looking at this ship and I'm like this, only this
ship is only super fucked up to you if you're
so like your concept of masculinity so fraudsile. We're like
(03:12):
and I don't even hug my fucking dead because that
she gay, like that's that's the only way you look
at that. I look at that sadly, and I'm like, man,
I was stupid as fun when I was like when
I was in my twenties. But nothing's like I don't know,
unless there's like more something criminal right now, just seems
(03:32):
to be appealing to because the headlines will be like
he has his hand on a man's crotch. It's like, no,
he doesn't. His hands on a guy's leg like upper leg,
but like not the way your headline I think is
trying to communicate to the reader likes a he's a
freak type ship. I don't know, man, it's very odd. Yeah,
(03:55):
and I think we knew, uh like before any before
where he tattled on Republicans that they have cooked fueled origies,
that he was like problematic, and a lot of the
women he went to school with said that there were
many complaints, you know, but that doesn't that ship doesn't matter,
(04:17):
right because if they did that, they would have to
be like, look at these allegations against him. They're like, oh,
we doing allegations. Are we doing allegations? Now? Okay? Great?
Oh here, back up the fucking trailer that has all
the documents in it. But I think that's why it's
it smacks so much of something coming from the right,
like yeah, you can tell other people like we're trying
(04:38):
to get him on the fourteenth Amendment for being involved
in insurrection, to get him off the ballot for other
people like the other thing is meant to I don't know,
Like if you're not a Republican, your mind is pretty
much made up about Madison Cawthorne. So that's why this
I'm sure we'll I'm sure we'll learn more what's going on.
It continues to underline. Uh, they the devil works hard.
(05:01):
Uh you know they they've got all the leaks, every
video of him that has ever been taken they have
access to somehow, And he was out here to defend
he did like a whole thing. Oh here, look, let
me play I'll play you this clip he had to get,
he had to put a video, and he's like, they're
trying to fucking bring me down. The media watch such
(05:22):
a coordinated attack against any individual politics except for Donald Trump.
And even though we know the fake news lies about
fires in Congress like me, I'm sure that many of
you still have questions that are reasonable. You know, why
are they attacked? And do any of the allegations have
merrit How do you explain some of it? Now? The
normal point, it's like it's this thing has like the
(05:43):
energy of like an apology video with also like some
kind of like men's supplement that gives you bigger muscles,
huge dig hold on what my wife's great here and
it's awesome, and it's stuck by me the whole time.
Shane a Russian plant. Um Yeah, yeah, truly monstrous, dangerous
(06:07):
person who should uh definitely be voted out. But this
is great evidence, great evidence of what the Republicans are
really scared of. I know we were saying before. I'm like,
like I I it pains me to say. It looks
like people fucking around as kids being stupid, especially young men. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(06:27):
the worst, the worst creatures on the planet. Um. Sinco
de Mayo was trending because it is Sanco Day Mayo
and it is not Mexican Independence. No, come on, don't
don't do that. Don't don't be one of these people.
Is like, yeah, man, Sinco my Mexican Independence Day. I
know it's September sixteenth because it's like the day after
my birthday. And I was like, yeah, man, this is
(06:49):
a good time, a good time in the city around now. Um.
But yeah, mayfif is when the Mexican army defeated the
French in the Battle of Puebola, and I think like
in the eighteen sixties, or something like that. Um so,
and it's yeah, exactly. The biggest thing though there is
that that battle was significant because the French were much
more like technologically and you know, in an armed sense, advanced.
(07:13):
Um Yet the Mexican army defeated them in that moment.
So now it's like in the US, it's just more
it's not really celebrated in like broadly in Mexico other
than yeah, well yeah, and then I think, but what
happened is then in the US it just broadly just
evolves into a day to recognize like Mexican heritage. Yeah.
(07:33):
But also you know, that's like another thing. There are
many funny tweets or they're like Republicans like on May
fourth and they're holding signs like go back to Mexico,
and it's like Conservatives on May fifth. It's like all
these white people and like shitty sombreros and pots and
we love it. So don't be one of those people,
you know what I mean. Also, I feel like drinking
(07:53):
holidays they've that used to be a big I remember
being in l A. That used to be a thing
and we were like yo, we're it sucked up. But
I don't I think just in generally, I don't my
lifestyle slowing down. Man, you know my knees get weaker. Yeah,
I don't got it in me anymore. Yeah. So this apparently,
(08:14):
like that not really widely celebrated in Mexico other than
in Pueblo. Um, it is the equivalent of Patriots Day.
What is Patriots Day? You may be asking, if you
don't live in Massachusetts. It's it's a holiday that Massachusetts
has where everybody gets off school and they have the
Boston Marathon, and uh yeah, it would be like if
(08:34):
Canada was like Patriots Day is American Independence Day and
everybody celebrate that. Uh so yeah about the Pates man. Yeah,
and it's also about like, you know, celebrating Tom Brady
and Gronk Gronk and uh Mark Wehlberg for some reason, Belichick. Man, Uh,
(08:55):
let's let's talk about some movies. Doctor Strange and the
Multiverse of Madness. Man, that ship sounds twisted. Uh what
if like you can't even handle it? Like fuck, wow,
get me off this crazy train. A multiverse of Madness
(09:18):
that drops today or tomorrow, I guess tonight. Yeah. Um,
reviews seem mixed, which might mean it's actually interesting um,
you know, you never know with these Marvel movies, but
uh yeah, did not mean that with eternals, But I
have heard from reliable sources that it is very interestings
(09:41):
who maybe even seeing it like three times by this
time saying pretty good, they liked it. And then the
poster for light Year is out, Um that is the
buzz light Year biopic, I think is essentially it's like,
this is not about the toy, this is about the
do the toy is based on the man. The man.
(10:05):
So I got a couple of questions here. First of all,
I remained perplexed by this movie existing and the fact
that Disney is like, this is the one that will
make pis are a theatrically relevant company. Again, I don't
like it seems like the least promising Pixar movies. That's
what they're going for. That's I think they're actually releasing
(10:26):
this one in movie theaters, so like that, and they
don't do that to the oh you're saying in pandemic
times Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Um, I think I mean
it makes As I watched the newest trailer, it was
definitely evoking like, uh, like a Guardians of the Galaxy
type of vibe where ragtag group space fun for everybody. Humor.
(10:53):
M that's like jokes humor joke, Okay, I love this
all right, I'm back in jokes, lady or Beams and yeah,
a lot of a lot of robots. Um, the big
bad toy villain is apparently in this one. So a
(11:14):
couple of questions that I have other than like why
why not release Turning Read and you know other good
Pixar movies into theaters? Uh, you know, even like anyways,
but he launches into space and comes back and it's
the future. Um, but I'm pretty sure that he launches
from like the twenty three hundreds, so like it's one
(11:40):
version of the future into another. It Also, if buzz
light Year is based on this character, does that suggest
the Toy story universe is in a future where like
we've already right, or are we commenting on a fictional
work like if it uzz lightye're a guy, right, Could
(12:05):
buzz Lightyear have interacted with his own toy? Right? Huh?
I'm confused. This is part of that multiverse of madness
ship bro Yeah, exactly. You gotta watch both for it
to make sense. I think I don't know about it.
I'm like a worried parent, like, wait that, what's your concern.
It's like the timelines don't match up, and I don't
(12:26):
want to confuse my kids about line your time, and
I just what I also feel like you're raising your
hand in the theater. Ask your question? Sorry real quick here,
I had a quick question, um ask, I don't know
what to ask. All right, let's take a quick break.
We'll come back and talk about, among other things, the
(12:47):
Game of Thrones trailer and We're bad and Karneine Jean
Pierre is taking over for Jen Szaki as press secretary. Yeah.
(13:07):
I believe she was the deputy or like worked on
Zachi staff. She will be the first black and openly
gay person to hold this position. Ye, so yeah, she's yeah,
I mean that's pretty significant. Jen Saki, I think, is
still going to MSNBC, so that there's that revolving door,
(13:28):
like then you can be like, uh, what's her face?
Like Nicole Wallace who was also working for Bush And
it's like and now I'm on MSNBC, you know what
I mean? I can't wait to see what Jen Psaki
comes up with over the MSNBC. Actually, wait, sorry, I
couldn't be less excited because like, I don't. I don't
think there's a possible You're like, whoa what I came
(13:52):
here to just implode my career on MSNBC. Yeah, I
don't think. So we'll we'll see what happens there. But yeah,
she's like I think. Also, she was deputy press secretary.
Now I think her title is like assistant to the
President and press secretary. Yeah yeah, um oh and also,
oh man, I just realized we just passed a million
COVID deaths. Jesus. Yeah, there's that too, which is wild.
(14:16):
I think that happened yesterday. But because of our omni crisis,
we're experiencing that tidpit may not have gotten the news
it may have deserved, but yeah, like everything, what are
we supposed to do? Um it? It is just a
(14:38):
moment where you can look at progress. Where the press
secretary used to be a position in the I believe
the Reagan White House, where the press secretary would tease
reporters for asking about the AIDS crisis and be like,
why are you so interested? Huh um, like what and
then so now we have a openly gay person holding
(15:02):
that position. So that is a nice bit of progress.
And Christian Smalls, the interim president of the Amazon Labor Union,
went to speak to the Senate today, uh, wearing a
eat the Rich shirt. Jordana Levins, I'm ripped that will
echo into the eternity of American history. I gotta say
(15:24):
to where a flat brimmed Yankee fitted like you're in
the background of like a component Noriega video. I respect
the funk out of it, along with the eat the
Rich jacket, like it's fucking chef's kiss. I just want
to play this clip um where he's testifying in front
of the Senate Budget Committee and he sort of first
(15:45):
comes that Lindsey Graham because I guess he was making
a speech before sort of like speaking as companies as
if they're just sort of like these like amorphous entities,
and Christian Smalls wanted to just clarify something. It sounds
like he was talking about more of the companies and
the businesses and you're speech, but you forgot that the
(16:06):
people are the ones who make this. These companies operate,
and then we're not protected, and then the process for
when we hold these companies accountable it's not working for us,
then that's not what. That's the reason why we're here today.
That's the reason why I'm here to represent the workers
(16:28):
who make these companies go. And I think that it's
in your best interests to realize that it's not a
a left or right thing. It's not a Democrat or
Republican thing. So workers the workers issue, and we're the
ones that are suffering and the corporations that you're talking about,
in the businesses that you're talking about, in the warehouses
(16:49):
that you're talking about. So that's the reason why I
think I was invited today to speak on that behalf,
and you should listen because we do represent your constituents
as well. It would be your best interest. Lindsey, Grandma's
love that. But yeah, apparently, like the comments out of
that session seemed to be promising, or at least at
(17:12):
the very least just it was inspirational to hear him speak. Well,
I mean why I think many people are like, Okay,
so it was the federal government gonna maybe do something
now about these kinds of things as it relates to
companies like Amazon or we're just or was it just
a a moment to give some shine to Christian Small's
who it's well deserved because you know that people that
(17:33):
are represented by that union now because of the efforts
of him and the others at that Staten Island facility. Yeah,
and that is such an important distinction that, um, he's
probably the first person to speak about people as opposed
to corporations, like even putting the individual rights of people
(17:53):
on the same level as the individual rights of corporations.
And just like saying that in front of a body
that is you know, part of a movement, like a
very radical movement over the past thirty years to make
it so that corporations have more rights than people, they
have the same rights as people, plus many many more.
(18:14):
And yeah, just just saying that very basic thing, yeah,
is is pretty powerful. Yeah. And I'm sure, I mean
not that that clip will probably make it to conservative
news spaces, but at the very least, uh, yeah, that
it truly is it. At the end of the day,
you have to zoo we we need to zoom out
enough to look at the situation and understand that, like
(18:36):
there's much different battles to be fought than the one
of like you know, left or right. But you know,
and also but that argument is also kind of feeling
crazy too, because you see what the right stands for
now and you're like, it's fashion. Yeah, I uh yeah,
I hope they do like take that. And Tucker Carlson's
(18:57):
like he said it's in his best interest, it's he's
threatening his life. Uh. And I'm sorry, when was the
last time you were allowed to wear a hat into
the Senate chambers? I mean you see those those comments
are all underneath other videos of this because obviously, uh,
like fucking clockwork, people are going to say, why is
(19:18):
this black person talking? Yeah? Uh? And again, I gotta
say the Capitol has not seen dripped like that since
Kamala's nephew or whatever pulled up in do your ones
at the age and honestly, then that outfit has been bested.
You just had one shoe once, or this guy came
in with the Yankee fitted Jordan and Levins and a
(19:38):
custom eat the rich coat. Mm hmmmmmm um. Well, speaking
of eating the rich, Game of Thrones is a show
in which rich people were eaten by dragons. I think
at one point probably yeah, sud up by dragons. Anyways, Uh.
(19:58):
Drop the trailer for the new prequel season called House
of the Dragon. It's it looks like a Game of
Thrones show. You know, there's a lot of names. I'm like, oh,
I know what Rapian is. I know that name, I
know stark uh, And that's how they want to draw
you in. But then I realized how much Game of
Thrones racism I had internalized because they showed a scene
(20:21):
with like these you know, the targe Arians, right like
where Danny Dennis is from. There was a black dude,
a black Targearian who had because you know they all
got white hair and ship, he had white dreads. And
my person was like that doesn't look right. And I
was like, wait, what the fun is This show has
conditioned me? I know. I was like, well, I'd like
slap my wrist. I'm like bad Benny off in White's brain.
(20:43):
But yeah, it's got a it looks like they're doing
a little more diverse casting um and a lot of
I don't know a lot of Game of Thrones imagery.
So if you're if you were really missing it, you
were probably excited. I'm my heart has turned to stone
since last I'm like, is a gray scale? Right? You
did suffer from grace? Yeah? Yeah, yeah exactly. And it
(21:03):
was actually named after my grandfather who pioneered research into it. Yeah, yeah,
he should just be called ashy skin. And then they
called it gray scale because my my grandpa had a
bad case. There's like a line that I think they
I don't know if it was in the trailer. It
was like being circulated as like with the trailer that
(21:23):
like history remembers, History doesn't remember blood, it remembers names,
and it's all about like somebody trying to preserve their
legacy with just like brutality. And that's a hopeful sign
to me, because when Game of Thrones is that its best,
it was like about uh, like a historical like realism
(21:44):
of just like, man, this ship was really fucked up
and people just like murdered each other and like that
was the smart thing to do and there was no
ethics and and then they kind of got away from
that and it became a show about how to wrap
up the most expensive TV show all the time. Basically, Yeah,
it's like we wrote ourselves into a corner. Now we're
(22:06):
gonna have to spend our way out of it. Uh,
And they did. But yeah, I didn't also didn't know,
and Game of Thrones heads tell me because I didn't
read the books. But someone on Twitter had posted this
like this image about basically saying like like Denarius was
getting like with every bred battle she won, her her
wigs had more braids on him and ship. Is that
(22:27):
like actually related to targetan culture or is it that
they did the show did better so they have more
wig budget? Right? I need to be seen. Nobody knows
no way to tell fact checking it with ze gang Um.
You know what I just said that I'm excited for
(22:47):
this and I'm not. I should I should be honest,
Like I there's too much TV. I think there's just
too much TV and this like I I don't even
remember what happened in this trailer and I watched it
five minutes ago. Yeah, there's just I don't know if
there's some fucking I honestly, I forgot what I forgot too.
I saw a little spooky blonde girl. Yeah, remember that?
(23:11):
That stuck with me? And then I think it looked
like big Daddy Lanister. Did I see that correctly? Was
that him? Oh? I don't know, old school what I
tell you? Yeah, don't? I mean either way, I was
the only thing I remember was there's a spooky blonde
haired lady and uh a brother with white dreads. Anyways,
Zeke gang, watch it and let us know what happened
(23:34):
in back check if we remembered anything from it. I
think there was a dragon, so yeah, and then remember Jack.
Then there was that robotic kitten that was helping them
escape from that planet with the robots, and then that
one robot. Yeah that was all right. Well, my brain
is melting out of my nostrils. Uh. So we are
(23:59):
back tomorrow with the whole ass episode of the show
season finale. It's a hot one, um, But until then,
be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get
the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, find a
way to support reproductive right. We will talk you out
(24:20):
of my fight. Fight
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Trendy's
Got a Gun? What did her Trendy do? Let's courtesy
a Fighter of the Night man Um and Eric Smith
Ros Smith. Yeah that's right. Yeah, it's so funny. In
(00:20):
my mind as a kid, I only knew who Aerosmith
was once Alicia Silverstone started being in the music videos.
So anything that predated that, like Get a Grip, wasn't
that one of their albums? Like yeah, dude, that like
before that, Like when I heard Shan, I'm like, that
(00:40):
ain't sucking hero Smith? Like in my mind, I'm like, yeah,
they don't do those songs. That's how I found out
about Batman was through Alicia Silverstones up here and what
is she about? Anyways? I'm Jack, you are miles the
world's worst pearl jam fan. Here are somethings that are trending? Wait,
(01:01):
I meant Errol Smith. I was like, all right, man,
I'm sure there was some logic to that that I
just hadn't worked. I got a lot of mental tables.
I got a lot of tables, man, a lot. I
got a lot of tables. Man, have we explained what
that is? People are most I pick up most of
the movie references we throw out from our geriatric minds,

I got a lot of tables and they keeps it moving.
So keeps it moving, like we're about too. As we
dive into our first trend, which continues to be Madison Cathorne, Um,
they're just burying this young man in videos like leaks
(02:08):
the pictures. When the left is trying to say don't
vote for Madison Cawthorne, they're like, he's a fascist. He
loves Hitler, he brings guns on planes, like the rules
don't matter, should we go on? He votes for everything
against your human rights. When the right goes after Madison Cawthorne,
they were like, yo, he was touching this guy when
(02:28):
he was when he was younger, he's jackassing around. Maybe
something's wrong with him. Yeah, the things that are like
smears for the right make maybe like, oh, he looks
like he has a good time. Yeah, it's weird with
his buddy because like the videos are like him just
being a jackass, like one where he's like, I don't know,
(02:50):
he's like putting his hand on his like cousins lap.
It's like a lot of these videos are him sucking
around with his cousin, Yeah, being a jackass as I
feel like all high school sports coaches like yeah, yeah.
And that's why I find it very weird where I'm
looking at this ship and I'm like this, only this
ship is only super fucked up to you if you're
so like your concept of masculinity so fraudsile. We're like
(03:12):
and I don't even hug my fucking dead because that
she gay, like that's that's the only way you look
at that. I look at that sadly, and I'm like, man,
I was stupid as fun when I was like when
I was in my twenties. But nothing's like I don't know,
unless there's like more something criminal right now, just seems
(03:32):
to be appealing to because the headlines will be like
he has his hand on a man's crotch. It's like, no,
he doesn't. His hands on a guy's leg like upper leg,
but like not the way your headline I think is
trying to communicate to the reader likes a he's a
freak type ship. I don't know, man, it's very odd. Yeah,
(03:55):
and I think we knew, uh like before any before
where he tattled on Republicans that they have cooked fueled origies,
that he was like problematic, and a lot of the
women he went to school with said that there were
many complaints, you know, but that doesn't that ship doesn't matter,
(04:17):
right because if they did that, they would have to
be like, look at these allegations against him. They're like, oh,
we doing allegations. Are we doing allegations? Now? Okay? Great?
Oh here, back up the fucking trailer that has all
the documents in it. But I think that's why it's
it smacks so much of something coming from the right,
like yeah, you can tell other people like we're trying
(04:38):
to get him on the fourteenth Amendment for being involved
in insurrection, to get him off the ballot for other
people like the other thing is meant to I don't know,
Like if you're not a Republican, your mind is pretty
much made up about Madison Cawthorne. So that's why this
I'm sure we'll I'm sure we'll learn more what's going on.
It continues to underline. Uh, they the devil works hard.
(05:01):
Uh you know they they've got all the leaks, every
video of him that has ever been taken they have
access to somehow, And he was out here to defend
he did like a whole thing. Oh here, look, let
me play I'll play you this clip he had to get,
he had to put a video, and he's like, they're
trying to fucking bring me down. The media watch such
(05:22):
a coordinated attack against any individual politics except for Donald Trump.
And even though we know the fake news lies about
fires in Congress like me, I'm sure that many of
you still have questions that are reasonable. You know, why
are they attacked? And do any of the allegations have
merrit How do you explain some of it? Now? The
normal point, it's like it's this thing has like the
(05:43):
energy of like an apology video with also like some
kind of like men's supplement that gives you bigger muscles,
huge dig hold on what my wife's great here and
it's awesome, and it's stuck by me the whole time.
Shane a Russian plant. Um Yeah, yeah, truly monstrous, dangerous
(06:07):
person who should uh definitely be voted out. But this
is great evidence, great evidence of what the Republicans are
really scared of. I know we were saying before. I'm like,
like I I it pains me to say. It looks
like people fucking around as kids being stupid, especially young men. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(06:27):
the worst, the worst creatures on the planet. Um. Sinco
de Mayo was trending because it is Sanco Day Mayo
and it is not Mexican Independence. No, come on, don't
don't do that. Don't don't be one of these people.
Is like, yeah, man, Sinco my Mexican Independence Day. I
know it's September sixteenth because it's like the day after
my birthday. And I was like, yeah, man, this is
(06:49):
a good time, a good time in the city around now. Um.
But yeah, mayfif is when the Mexican army defeated the
French in the Battle of Puebola, and I think like
in the eighteen sixties, or something like that. Um so,
and it's yeah, exactly. The biggest thing though there is
that that battle was significant because the French were much
more like technologically and you know, in an armed sense, advanced.
(07:13):
Um Yet the Mexican army defeated them in that moment.
So now it's like in the US, it's just more
it's not really celebrated in like broadly in Mexico other
than yeah, well yeah, and then I think, but what
happened is then in the US it just broadly just
evolves into a day to recognize like Mexican heritage. Yeah.
(07:33):
But also you know, that's like another thing. There are
many funny tweets or they're like Republicans like on May
fourth and they're holding signs like go back to Mexico,
and it's like Conservatives on May fifth. It's like all
these white people and like shitty sombreros and pots and
we love it. So don't be one of those people,
you know what I mean. Also, I feel like drinking
(07:53):
holidays they've that used to be a big I remember
being in l A. That used to be a thing
and we were like yo, we're it sucked up. But
I don't I think just in generally, I don't my
lifestyle slowing down. Man, you know my knees get weaker. Yeah,
I don't got it in me anymore. Yeah. So this apparently,
(08:14):
like that not really widely celebrated in Mexico other than
in Pueblo. Um, it is the equivalent of Patriots Day.
What is Patriots Day? You may be asking, if you
don't live in Massachusetts. It's it's a holiday that Massachusetts
has where everybody gets off school and they have the
Boston Marathon, and uh yeah, it would be like if
(08:34):
Canada was like Patriots Day is American Independence Day and
everybody celebrate that. Uh so yeah about the Pates man. Yeah,
and it's also about like, you know, celebrating Tom Brady
and Gronk Gronk and uh Mark Wehlberg for some reason, Belichick. Man, Uh,
(08:55):
let's let's talk about some movies. Doctor Strange and the
Multiverse of Madness. Man, that ship sounds twisted. Uh what
if like you can't even handle it? Like fuck, wow,
get me off this crazy train. A multiverse of Madness
(09:18):
that drops today or tomorrow, I guess tonight. Yeah. Um,
reviews seem mixed, which might mean it's actually interesting um,
you know, you never know with these Marvel movies, but
uh yeah, did not mean that with eternals, But I
have heard from reliable sources that it is very interestings
(09:41):
who maybe even seeing it like three times by this
time saying pretty good, they liked it. And then the
poster for light Year is out, Um that is the
buzz light Year biopic, I think is essentially it's like,
this is not about the toy, this is about the
do the toy is based on the man. The man.
(10:05):
So I got a couple of questions here. First of all,
I remained perplexed by this movie existing and the fact
that Disney is like, this is the one that will
make pis are a theatrically relevant company. Again, I don't
like it seems like the least promising Pixar movies. That's
what they're going for. That's I think they're actually releasing
(10:26):
this one in movie theaters, so like that, and they
don't do that to the oh you're saying in pandemic
times Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Um, I think I mean
it makes As I watched the newest trailer, it was
definitely evoking like, uh, like a Guardians of the Galaxy
type of vibe where ragtag group space fun for everybody. Humor.
(10:53):
M that's like jokes humor joke, Okay, I love this
all right, I'm back in jokes, lady or Beams and yeah,
a lot of a lot of robots. Um, the big
bad toy villain is apparently in this one. So a
(11:14):
couple of questions that I have other than like why
why not release Turning Read and you know other good
Pixar movies into theaters? Uh, you know, even like anyways,
but he launches into space and comes back and it's
the future. Um, but I'm pretty sure that he launches
from like the twenty three hundreds, so like it's one
(11:40):
version of the future into another. It Also, if buzz
light Year is based on this character, does that suggest
the Toy story universe is in a future where like
we've already right, or are we commenting on a fictional
work like if it uzz lightye're a guy, right, Could
(12:05):
buzz Lightyear have interacted with his own toy? Right? Huh?
I'm confused. This is part of that multiverse of madness
ship bro Yeah, exactly. You gotta watch both for it
to make sense. I think I don't know about it.
I'm like a worried parent, like, wait that, what's your concern.
It's like the timelines don't match up, and I don't
(12:26):
want to confuse my kids about line your time, and
I just what I also feel like you're raising your
hand in the theater. Ask your question? Sorry real quick here,
I had a quick question, um ask, I don't know
what to ask. All right, let's take a quick break.
We'll come back and talk about, among other things, the
(12:47):
Game of Thrones trailer and We're bad and Karneine Jean
Pierre is taking over for Jen Szaki as press secretary. Yeah.
(13:07):
I believe she was the deputy or like worked on
Zachi staff. She will be the first black and openly
gay person to hold this position. Ye, so yeah, she's yeah,
I mean that's pretty significant. Jen Saki, I think, is
still going to MSNBC, so that there's that revolving door,
(13:28):
like then you can be like, uh, what's her face?
Like Nicole Wallace who was also working for Bush And
it's like and now I'm on MSNBC, you know what
I mean? I can't wait to see what Jen Psaki
comes up with over the MSNBC. Actually, wait, sorry, I
couldn't be less excited because like, I don't. I don't
think there's a possible You're like, whoa what I came
(13:52):
here to just implode my career on MSNBC. Yeah, I
don't think. So we'll we'll see what happens there. But yeah,
she's like I think. Also, she was deputy press secretary.
Now I think her title is like assistant to the
President and press secretary. Yeah yeah, um oh and also,
oh man, I just realized we just passed a million
COVID deaths. Jesus. Yeah, there's that too, which is wild.
(14:16):
I think that happened yesterday. But because of our omni crisis,
we're experiencing that tidpit may not have gotten the news
it may have deserved, but yeah, like everything, what are
we supposed to do? Um it? It is just a
(14:38):
moment where you can look at progress. Where the press
secretary used to be a position in the I believe
the Reagan White House, where the press secretary would tease
reporters for asking about the AIDS crisis and be like,
why are you so interested? Huh um, like what and
then so now we have a openly gay person holding
(15:02):
that position. So that is a nice bit of progress.
And Christian Smalls, the interim president of the Amazon Labor Union,
went to speak to the Senate today, uh, wearing a
eat the Rich shirt. Jordana Levins, I'm ripped that will
echo into the eternity of American history. I gotta say
(15:24):
to where a flat brimmed Yankee fitted like you're in
the background of like a component Noriega video. I respect
the funk out of it, along with the eat the
Rich jacket, like it's fucking chef's kiss. I just want
to play this clip um where he's testifying in front
of the Senate Budget Committee and he sort of first
(15:45):
comes that Lindsey Graham because I guess he was making
a speech before sort of like speaking as companies as
if they're just sort of like these like amorphous entities,
and Christian Smalls wanted to just clarify something. It sounds
like he was talking about more of the companies and
the businesses and you're speech, but you forgot that the
(16:06):
people are the ones who make this. These companies operate,
and then we're not protected, and then the process for
when we hold these companies accountable it's not working for us,
then that's not what. That's the reason why we're here today.
That's the reason why I'm here to represent the workers
(16:28):
who make these companies go. And I think that it's
in your best interests to realize that it's not a
a left or right thing. It's not a Democrat or
Republican thing. So workers the workers issue, and we're the
ones that are suffering and the corporations that you're talking about,
in the businesses that you're talking about, in the warehouses
(16:49):
that you're talking about. So that's the reason why I
think I was invited today to speak on that behalf,
and you should listen because we do represent your constituents
as well. It would be your best interest. Lindsey, Grandma's
love that. But yeah, apparently, like the comments out of
that session seemed to be promising, or at least at
(17:12):
the very least just it was inspirational to hear him speak. Well,
I mean why I think many people are like, Okay,
so it was the federal government gonna maybe do something
now about these kinds of things as it relates to
companies like Amazon or we're just or was it just
a a moment to give some shine to Christian Small's
who it's well deserved because you know that people that
(17:33):
are represented by that union now because of the efforts
of him and the others at that Staten Island facility. Yeah,
and that is such an important distinction that, um, he's
probably the first person to speak about people as opposed
to corporations, like even putting the individual rights of people
(17:53):
on the same level as the individual rights of corporations.
And just like saying that in front of a body
that is you know, part of a movement, like a
very radical movement over the past thirty years to make
it so that corporations have more rights than people, they
have the same rights as people, plus many many more.
(18:14):
And yeah, just just saying that very basic thing, yeah,
is is pretty powerful. Yeah. And I'm sure, I mean
not that that clip will probably make it to conservative
news spaces, but at the very least, uh, yeah, that
it truly is it. At the end of the day,
you have to zoo we we need to zoom out
enough to look at the situation and understand that, like
(18:36):
there's much different battles to be fought than the one
of like you know, left or right. But you know,
and also but that argument is also kind of feeling
crazy too, because you see what the right stands for
now and you're like, it's fashion. Yeah, I uh yeah,
I hope they do like take that. And Tucker Carlson's
(18:57):
like he said it's in his best interest, it's he's
threatening his life. Uh. And I'm sorry, when was the
last time you were allowed to wear a hat into
the Senate chambers? I mean you see those those comments
are all underneath other videos of this because obviously, uh,
like fucking clockwork, people are going to say, why is
(19:18):
this black person talking? Yeah? Uh? And again, I gotta
say the Capitol has not seen dripped like that since
Kamala's nephew or whatever pulled up in do your ones
at the age and honestly, then that outfit has been bested.
You just had one shoe once, or this guy came
in with the Yankee fitted Jordan and Levins and a
(19:38):
custom eat the rich coat. Mm hmmmmmm um. Well, speaking
of eating the rich, Game of Thrones is a show
in which rich people were eaten by dragons. I think
at one point probably yeah, sud up by dragons. Anyways, Uh.
(19:58):
Drop the trailer for the new prequel season called House
of the Dragon. It's it looks like a Game of
Thrones show. You know, there's a lot of names. I'm like, oh,
I know what Rapian is. I know that name, I
know stark uh, And that's how they want to draw
you in. But then I realized how much Game of
Thrones racism I had internalized because they showed a scene
(20:21):
with like these you know, the targe Arians, right like
where Danny Dennis is from. There was a black dude,
a black Targearian who had because you know they all
got white hair and ship, he had white dreads. And
my person was like that doesn't look right. And I
was like, wait, what the fun is This show has
conditioned me? I know. I was like, well, I'd like
slap my wrist. I'm like bad Benny off in White's brain.
(20:43):
But yeah, it's got a it looks like they're doing
a little more diverse casting um and a lot of
I don't know a lot of Game of Thrones imagery.
So if you're if you were really missing it, you
were probably excited. I'm my heart has turned to stone
since last I'm like, is a gray scale? Right? You
did suffer from grace? Yeah? Yeah, yeah exactly. And it
(21:03):
was actually named after my grandfather who pioneered research into it. Yeah, yeah,
he should just be called ashy skin. And then they
called it gray scale because my my grandpa had a
bad case. There's like a line that I think they
I don't know if it was in the trailer. It
was like being circulated as like with the trailer that
(21:23):
like history remembers, History doesn't remember blood, it remembers names,
and it's all about like somebody trying to preserve their
legacy with just like brutality. And that's a hopeful sign
to me, because when Game of Thrones is that its best,
it was like about uh, like a historical like realism
(21:44):
of just like, man, this ship was really fucked up
and people just like murdered each other and like that
was the smart thing to do and there was no
ethics and and then they kind of got away from
that and it became a show about how to wrap
up the most expensive TV show all the time. Basically, Yeah,
it's like we wrote ourselves into a corner. Now we're
(22:06):
gonna have to spend our way out of it. Uh,
And they did. But yeah, I didn't also didn't know,
and Game of Thrones heads tell me because I didn't
read the books. But someone on Twitter had posted this
like this image about basically saying like like Denarius was
getting like with every bred battle she won, her her
wigs had more braids on him and ship. Is that
(22:27):
like actually related to targetan culture or is it that
they did the show did better so they have more
wig budget? Right? I need to be seen. Nobody knows
no way to tell fact checking it with ze gang Um.
You know what I just said that I'm excited for
(22:47):
this and I'm not. I should I should be honest,
Like I there's too much TV. I think there's just
too much TV and this like I I don't even
remember what happened in this trailer and I watched it
five minutes ago. Yeah, there's just I don't know if
there's some fucking I honestly, I forgot what I forgot too.
I saw a little spooky blonde girl. Yeah, remember that?
(23:11):
That stuck with me? And then I think it looked
like big Daddy Lanister. Did I see that correctly? Was
that him? Oh? I don't know, old school what I
tell you? Yeah, don't? I mean either way, I was
the only thing I remember was there's a spooky blonde
haired lady and uh a brother with white dreads. Anyways,
Zeke gang, watch it and let us know what happened
(23:34):
in back check if we remembered anything from it. I
think there was a dragon, so yeah, and then remember Jack.
Then there was that robotic kitten that was helping them
escape from that planet with the robots, and then that
one robot. Yeah that was all right. Well, my brain
is melting out of my nostrils. Uh. So we are
(23:59):
back tomorrow with the whole ass episode of the show
season finale. It's a hot one, um, But until then,
be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get
the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, find a
way to support reproductive right. We will talk you out
(24:20):
of my fight. Fight
