vibe of that is Christian youth minister. But I'm like,
oh my, very very funny comedians who who have bring
the acoustic guitar and bring it oh.
Speaker 2 (05:33):

jokes around it.

Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah. Well, we're thrilled to have
you both here. We're going to get to know you,
Brandy a little bit better in a moment. First, we're
going to tell the listeners a couple of the things
we're talking about today. We're going to talk about America's
two hundred and fiftieth B Day concert. What's it caused?
Like America Fest or some bold.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Dude, this is the weekend of Warped tour in DC.
I'm going to be a mile away from that.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Wow, what our so Yeah, nobody's going to be looking
at you because this So America's two hundred and fiftieth
Birthday bash, which we talked about. First of all, there's
the the Octagon that's being built on the White House loan.
And then there's going to be a sick concert that
(06:26):
will not have Brett Michaels or Martina McBride or young.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
For anybody that said that we're going to do it.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, we got a comedy Okay, we've got a couple Okay,
Vanilla ice.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, a lot of vanilla related acts.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I did not book the comedy stage.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Could you imagine? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean Donald Trump
did say that he might just replace it with just
a set of Trump Jazz, like just him going up there,
just like I don't know, let's wrap what else? What else?
I'll tell you what else. The Trump Phone did hit
the streets last week, and we're starting to get a
(07:04):
look at what what it actually looks like. So we're
just gonna check in with the unboxing of the t one,
which is the Trump Phone. We're gonna talk about a
new amazing deal that feels like creepy like, so it's
it's very like fetishy. It's a this company is like
we're going to clean your house for you for free.
(07:26):
All you need to do is let us wear cameras
on Earth so we can watch this person cleaning the house.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
It's like very selling it on only fans.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It's no, it's like a whole. It's like an AI company.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
So oh, get into it.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, we'll get into it. But they're trying to train
the robots by watching it clean. Watching humans clean your house.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It's like pov porn, but that.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
To learn how how do humans move? So uh, we'll
talk about that plenty more. But first, Brandy, we do
like to ask our guest, is something from your search
history that's revealing about who you are? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So I looked up recently. Is mango pie a thing?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Because?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Right? Because I went to it should be right because
me and my boyfriend we went to an apricot orchard
a few weekends ago and picked a bunch. It was
very adorable, and we were like, stone fruit pie. You
love a peach pie, you love an apricot peach situation,
and we're like, can we do like a triple stone
fruit pie? And we're like, well, maybe cherry is the
third thing. And then I was like, mango, why has that?
(08:38):
Why have I never heard that.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
The sweetest, Yeah, I feel.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Like it would be good in like a key lime
pie esque like going.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
That becoyeah the exact same thought. Oh my god, Yeah,
I immediately thought of like a because a really delicious
mango that is like peak sweetness actually is already the
like it has that custardy feel of a key lime
pie already.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
And if you was a cuz and you could add
a little like lemon to.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Get give it a little citrus.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yeah, yeah, chefs, get on this, chefs, yes, chef, yes.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Chef please, jef. It does feel like you know, coming
up in the United States of America and often in
the Midwest when I when I was growing up, mango
was probably the most underrated fruit. The agreed so good,
so delicious, and I never had that ship at all.
It was like sushi. I found out about mangoes and
(09:42):
sushi when I was in like a senior in high Schoolingo.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Well, mango's and avocados feel like they are cousins too
to me, you know.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
From a Caribbean place, Uh, they are one and you
have man it was the same time you have avocados, like, yeah,
business is a mango. And then outside of avocado with
salt on it. It's delicious, delicious, But.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I do I feel like it's very indicative of American
culture that we don't have a mango pie but we
have like mince meat, like a sweet pie that is meat.
It's just like, all right, guys, go back to fucking England,
you freaks.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You know exactly exactly, So everyone figure that out this summer.
That's our goal collectively, one of them, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I like it's a good name for like a production company.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Or something that is kind of cute.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah, right, and it like doesn't really exist, so you can,
like you can own.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
It, Brandy, Yeah, absolutely start another business. Why not?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
What is something that you think is underrated?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So I actually I saw two movies this weekend. I
saw Ala Boosters obviously fucking great, we love it. But
there's also a new movie called Is God Is that
came out recently that I feel like it is not
getting the same level of love. But I just wanted
to say that it was incredibly underrated because it was
a fucking delight.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I loved it. Yeah, And it's.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Just like a kill Bill style movie with like Sterling K.
Brown and Vivica Fox and Carra young and it was
just an absolute blast to see in theaters.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I was with the rest of America going to see
The Mandalorian and Grogu for the third time. Now we
are having a movie renaissance.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
We really are that.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I pronounced it as a native French speaker. The like
we had these two movies we talked about on trending
yesterday that opened this weekend that are like YouTubers, they're like,
what if we just like let you kind of do
your whole shit.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Like, did you talk about backrooms?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, we talked back room. We talked about obsess. I
don't think they called it obsess. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, cool indie film is back. It's it's out there
and it's great and you've gotta go go to the theaters.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, tell me what the name of your movie is
one more time.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
It's called is God?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Is it is?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It's great. It's twins going on. It's a it's a
kill bill style movie with twins going to avenge their
mother basically, and it's fucking great, honestly.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah. Our pronunciation of it is what it is? Which
is it's what it is? Yeah? The correct way to
say that if you if you don't have time to
it is what it is. Yeah. And also the Simpsons joke.
Do you do you remember when he side show Bob
has die Bart die on him. Oh, yes, tattooed, and
(12:42):
you have die Bar die tattooed. He's like, no, this
is German, it's the Bart. Anyways, Simpsons jokes. Am I right,
you guys? Is God is all right? I can check
it out. Check it out.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Check check check it out.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Something you think is overrated?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
The New York versus LA discussh's get over it. It's
it's so overrated. You sound like a hack when you
talk about it. Just these are two places that people
live and they love and it's okay, and that's fine stuff.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
So everyone is bi coastal now, yes, like for real,
everyone is truly bi coastal as in New York.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Or in LA right now. Yeah, everyone's by coastal exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
You can sit back and forth. We've done this, like
we don't need to be like, why are we pitting
things against each other? This is this is just more
of the class in charge, just trying to pit us
against each other versus looking at them. So let's combine
our strengths.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Actually, they're alternative. You know, it's a problem when they're alternative.
Is like, so just move to Wichita, you know what
I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, those places suck. Come
to the middle of the country. Yeah we'll change you.
Come to God's country, I will say. Yeah. Becca is
agreeing with this, and yet I saw her this weekend.
(14:04):
She took a drink of tap water and did a
dramatic spittake. I was like, do you call this tap water?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Okay, I don't drink New York City.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
I don't drink New York tap water. I will say,
if anything, I love New York tap water. Oh, it's
so scary in our buildings. I mean, it depends where
you live.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
I guess you know my building don't trust.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
So when I moved to New York for the first time,
like in the early aughts, my cool sister was like,
and by the way, the tap water is good to
drink here. And I have never looked into that at all.
I have just been fucking drinking it una.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
If anything, I prefer West Coast tapwater and specifically shout
out to Portland, Oregon. Portland, Oregon has the best water.
That shit is like it is delicious. It is like
never think twice. I'm like, hell, yeah, I'm gonna get
some top water from Portland.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Oregon, coming from a river direct. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Basically yeah, basically I grew in suburban Maryland and like
we had well water growing up, and like, so that's
my top tier. It doesn't have that ledou mommy that
you're looking for, though, Jack, so like you know.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
That is my thing. I like it. I like to
swish it around. Yeah, like la tap water though we
can all agree not not great, nobody, no, no, no, no,
that shit is coming has traveled a long, weary path
to get here.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
No. Yeah, I go to my little water guy and
I get my jugs filled up once a week and
we're good to go. And that's it. And that works
for me. Too many people. Oh yeah, I got a
guy village village water up the street for me. I'm
gonna shut him out.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Nice mom and pop.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
They're delightful. I take my big jugs over there. They say,
do you need help to your car? And I'm like,
I can carry five gallons. Baby, don't worry, I've gallons. Yeah,
I'm so strong. It's great. Yeah, cash only.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Oh, don't don't put them on blasts like that. You
know they're not paying Texas. It's only just now. I
do have a question about well water. Mm hmm, Well's
got a cover on it. Always this is a question
I've always have when people are like, well water is
(16:18):
the best? Can't a bird fall down there? Well, a
bird take a poop in there? Fall down there? What
are we talking?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Well, I think there's kinds of wells.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
This.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
This is not like I can't go to a well
and it's the ring No no.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
It's not Timmy fell down a well where you know,
it's not that type of situation. It's like the aquifer
well that they dig into and pull out of.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah, and I'm sure everybody knew this, but I've always
been a picture like baby Jessica.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Well, I was thinking the same exact thing, well water.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
I was just like, wow, well in your backyard.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
My my boyfriend is from suburban Maryland, so I was like,
he's never talked about it.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Was like, oh, but that makes more sense.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah, yeah, Well we have like those giant water towers.
You guys know, like whenever they don't have them in California, they.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Don't they have them in Texas, but I never thought
twice about them. They just say whatever small town high
school is dominating.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
That a place for high school students to drink.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Yeah, it's like cy Fair High School.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah yeah, yeah, those have In my experience, the worst
water that I've tasted is the water at the Jersey Shore.
The tap water at the Jersey Shore.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
That sounds right.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
That all comes from those big, those big old water towers.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
A feel you you drink it, and then you become
like Chinjan laundry, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, yeah, you get our Jersey Shore people. That uh
enough though, but plenty, yeah, not all, but plenty. That's
for any any time someone says not all anything, it's like, yeah,
but there's plenty that can. Let's take a quick break.
(18:04):
We'll be right back, and we're back. And so it
sounds like, Brandy, you have your plans for America's two
(18:24):
hundred and fiftieth Birthday bash?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yes I do.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
But Becca, have you locked down your travel yet to
get to DC?
Speaker 4 (18:33):
I think I'm a little booked. I'm a little day.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
So this is it's giving kid Rocks halftime show at
the super Bowl, It's the Trump administration. I will all right,
so I will say a lot of people are like,
the best they can do is Young MC, which, by
the way, Young MC bailed Bret my Wells. They have
(19:01):
said that this is supposed to mimic the vibe of
a State Fair musical performance.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Well, and that's what the guests give.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
The guest list is they have nailed that, like the
the State Fair is the stomping grounds of your c
NC music factory. You know, my friend Blake once saw
Montel Jordan at the State Fair and he played this
is how we do it? He played something for the
(19:32):
Honeyes and then he played this is how we do
It again, and I was like, all right, thank.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
You, and here's what they wanted to hear.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah he was correct, and that yes, like the most
efficient musical performance of all the time. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
But yeah, So all of a sudden, people are trying
to make it political and so Bret, Michaels and Martina
McBride had to back out. Young MC backed out already.
The only people who are left. So we've got Million Vanillion,
whereas you probably know them Millie Vanillih. They're still in.
(20:09):
But confusingly, the real Milli Vanilli, which is the group
that actually sang that the group that we thought was
Milli Vanilli lip synced too. The real Milli Vanilli have
stressed that they won't be participated. So does this has
this scandal reached your Becca? You're very young, like, do
(20:31):
you know the Milli Vanilli skin?
Speaker 5 (20:33):
I know of Millie Vanilli. I did not know of
the Milli Vanilli scandal. That they were on top of
a lip sync track.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
They were lip syncers Ashanti, Yes, and they didn't sing
the original track either. Huh No, No, they didn't sing
just totally. Yeah, yeah, they had. There's a band that
played that played music was very popular, and then they
found two guys who are very interesting looking. They did
(21:05):
nail like these guys are fascinating looking. They were backwards closed. Yeah, yes,
that wrong, the wrong band, But that was Chriss Cross.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Oh is Criss Cross?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Was?
Speaker 5 (21:16):
I used to watch the VH one like I love
the eighties, I love the seventies, I love the sixties,
so I.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
I am aware of a lot of the pop culture
of the day.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yes, but they it was I don't think we've ever
had this where it was just like they the person
who was claiming to be the voice was not the
same like it was just two people lip syncing the
whole time and had never sung. And anyways, they just.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Said they lost their Grammy because of it, and that
makes sense because they never sang.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I know, I can't believe they want a Grammy. Their
songs include such hits as bo bah bah bye bo
bah bah Bye Baby, Don't Forget My Number. That's that's it.
It's like a children's song. That's kind of.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
It's kind of so then the question is if they
never sang their songs, what are they gonna do.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
They're going to lip sync songs. So one of them
did not survive the scandal and died, but the one
who is still around is just like music's here to
bring bring people together. Same thing is happening with CNC
Music Factory, which I don't know if he has no
(22:29):
CNC Music Factory. The Sweat that's a jam band, right, Yeah,
they threaten to make you sweat till you bleed. I
believe in the Oh yes, yes, that seems that seems
like too damn much. If you asked me, I don't
want to do that at all.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I really don't want to do that.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
It feels like a dangerous level of dehydration. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I think that's a scene that's like from the Bible
that happens to Jesus at one point when he's like
in so much pain. I'm just always being bringing it
back to j C. My man jac but the Pope
is flying. Like honestly, multiple times I've seen quotes from
(23:12):
his encyclical and been like, bars, I'm sorry, those are bars.
Those are bars. He's saying that he's saying a thing
pretty eloquently that everybody's thinking.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Chicago Pope knows what's up. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
But anyway, so that the only two bands other than
Vanilla Ice that that are sticking it out both have
weird So CNC Music Factory is that basically they kicked
this guy named Freedom Williams out of the band and
then he legally maneuvered so he is now CNC Music Factory,
(23:48):
even though he hasn't been a member of the band
for a long time and was not like, I mean,
he just it's like the Beach Boys, you know, kind
of when like Mike Love came through and took away
from Ian Wilson. I don't think I can compare CNC
Music Factories album to Pet sounds quite But anyways, they're
(24:08):
they're still in. Vanilla Ice says, I don't even vote,
so I don't even care. Just stick.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
He's just he's just cashing.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
He's just okay.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
So then my question is if everyone's bailed and they're
building this giant stage, what are.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
They going to do with it?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Well, so the big, the big thing that they're building
is an octagon for people to uh fight each other.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
It's a UFC.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah, it's a UFC.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Thing, Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
And then they're also doing this, which is a musical concert.
And you know what Donald Trump says, if they don't
want to do my concert, we'll cancel it. I'll I'll
just get up there and riff baby, which is honestly
what people. Yeah want that.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Yeah, And he loves to DJ also like his he's
famously his Marlago playlist is a point of pride for him.
So just play the Phantom of the Opera just like
as loud as possible over the mall in DC. Is God,
It's so stupid, everything's so dumb, so crazy, man, it
(25:24):
will be funny. What if this radicalizes Vanilla Ice because
this is his only gig this year and it gets canceled,
and he's like.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Fuck, I needed that check though. He gets up on
stage with Trump.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yeah, I got to see maybe they put some of
the UFC guys in like Ninja Turtle costumes and they
can do the Ninja Turtle song.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Donald Trump said, uh, he is aware of artists getting
the yips about their performances. Do you guys know what
the yips are?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, it's like when you're nervous, right.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Right, It's the gymnastics, Yeah, gymnastics.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
There's been like the baseball players who are like second basemen.
Their whole job is just like get grounders and throw
it to first base, and then they stop being able
to like throw it to first base like at all.
They like throw it like thirty feet wide. But for
him to for him to just call it the yips
is such a funny way to describe people being like
attacked by their conscience.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah, it's just also a very like sports ball of him,
just like, Yeah, I don't know, they also get the
yips like this.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, I hear they're choking when it comes to the
decision of whether they're gonna come and be part of
the long term fascist wreckage caused by my administration. I
don't think that's why people get the I don't think
usually they're like concerned, not.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Usually their political beliefs being question, Oh.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Am I going to be in documentaries fifty years from now,
like looking like I'm at a Nazi parade.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
In the answers, they were worried about dying out from
the excessive sport they're about to do.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
That's right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
People don't talk about the talent and the Lenny reefinstall documentaries.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Oh my god, some of the greats. All right, have
you guys, do you have your t one yet? Your
Trump trump phone? Because what is it?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Jack?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
What? What could it be?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
What is Oh, you don't know and you don't know.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
I have vaguely heard about it.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Is this like an old person phone where it's like
a jug Yeah? Yeah, yeah, is it the same kind
of but it's just like racists, which.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Is like, yeah, it's like that for racism for racists. Yeah, okay, great. Basically,
the Trump phone was the thing that came out where
he was like, we're gonna make a phone that's gold
and that people fuck with heavy and uh. People pointed
out fairly recently that they hadn't shipped and had recently
(27:59):
pointed out that, like they changed the terms of service
so that they didn't even have to ever ship the
ship the phone. They were like, it's an idea more
than anything. So it's an.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Indie gogo of sorts, that's right.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, So the backlash to that and they started shipping
the phone, and we're just going to look at a
quick unboxing video from c net and then we can
you know, share our thoughts. Obviously a fucking sick phone.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
This is the T one phone, okay, is made for Americans.
That they kind of got the American flag wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
So yeah, they put eleven stripes on the American flag.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Well two of those states, you know, the original colonies
did not vote for him, so actually most probably.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
Didn't actually get a wall charger.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
They give you a wall charger. It looks like one
that you would get at a gas station.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
They got the stars right, So the stripes, however, that
represent the thirteen colonies, well kind of missing a couple.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
They they were like, it's on Android. It's just an
Android phone.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Back is plastic. It's got a camera oval with three
cameras in it. This is called a waterfall screen where
it curves around the side. We saw a lot of
these and like Sampson phones like five or.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Six or six years and I have the joint where.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
The screen meets the body. This is kind of has
like almost like an apex to it. So you have
like our volume rocker here very.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
And of course the power design forward Jack.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
So it looks like a staggered Android Apps of cool
stuff doctegrity. That's not a usual app. This app is
called truth Social. I've not used it before, but I
believe it's a.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Preladed with truth Social.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Okay, that's his YouTube.
Speaker 6 (29:49):
It has the date right time, and on the left
side it has the T one phone logo.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
I'm pretty sure they're using the T mobile. We have it.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
Yeah, Places and Mobile did expedite our order because we
are seen at.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Dot So that's essentially what it is. They claimed it
was going to be a golden phone. It is. People
have compared it to looking like a urine sample in
terms of its yellowness and dollar plastic plastic. It's yeah,
the price point would suggest it's the greatest phone of
(30:28):
all time. Other other details that it's coverage is courtesy
of Trump Mobile, so you.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Have to get a Trump Mobile plan.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
Get a new phone that is an old like twenty
seventeen model Samsung phone.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
But it's kind of goldish.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
And it's yellow.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
It's got the idea. They had the idea of gold
in their head when they were putting the design together.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Is what we're here, though, is people wanting this phone
knowing that they can track them like that, like.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
They actual I want mister Trump to know where I
am at all.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Yeah, It's like it's like this is the one fione
that actually, quite literally the government can know everything about
you because it's being sent by the government.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Yeah, times stamped and water marked.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeah, all your photos. I can't imagine. The coverage is
great because where are Trump? Where are the Trump towers?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yeah, I'm sure it's just like him is doing licensing
deal Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, because.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
You know what the mobiles vary me and.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
There it is so yeah, and he did steal their
fucking logo because it's just it is the T mobile
te it is. But it all it makes sense that
they got the American flag wrong because the big pitch
on this is that it's made made in the US.
A gold are now, well, they don't know how many
(32:00):
it is now. The box now says it is proudly
assembled in the USA.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
Because of the Samsung phone.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah, it's crazy also, like we don't have the infrastructure
to make this here what we're talking about, it's crazy.
Oh man, these are so stupid. Every picture of the
phone is different too, by the.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Way, that's true, like it changes.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
They're getting all of the refurbished phones, like basically Samsung's like, look,
we got all these phones no one I'll touch.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Do you want them?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Can I smack a yellow thing on the back of that?
You know, yeah, I want.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
We're getting rid of our back phone inventory, so they're
going to be different models, you know, from twenty sixteen
to twenty nineteen, you can.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Have Oh my gosh, I will any of us ever
see one of these in the wild? I want to
know how many people actually got these?
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Like have you ever seen we live no shoes? I've
seen the shoes in the wild?
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Golden sneakers, the Goal Yeah, oh yes.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Those became popular with like I think, like right wing
sneaker heads from Yeah yeah, I don't know, but.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Like, oh my god, they're so ugly.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
They yeah, the shoes are really bad. I just I
can't imagine that they're going to get that. They also
like sent it to c NET, but nobody else has
received theirs, so it's and again they don't legally have
to send it because they have.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
What conditioned ballsy loophole to.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Throw edge to add after the fact, but we might
not actually, by the way, we were able to change
the time space continue because you control.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
To them.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
The flag is like very much just like an artistic
symbol and it doesn't like actually mean anything to keep
it intact. Because I'm looking at these Trump shoes and
they got five stars and three stripes. I guess five
stars stripes, ye, three red stripe, two gold stripes based
on the shoe.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Actually the original American flag. When they're still figuring it out,
we make a rough draft in the White House.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
So yeah, it's actually the rating system five stars and
three stripes out of fifteen to thirteen. That is about
accurate where.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
This administration is coming in with their shoe wear and
everything else. Let's take a let's take a quick break,
and then I've got a great deal for you guys.
We'll be right back. And we're back, and so I
(34:46):
got another product to tell you guys about. You're welcome
this one. So this is called SHIFT. I think I
don't see the possible downside story. Honest with you, it
seems like they've kind of nailed it with this one.
We're gonna watch this video, very straightforward pitch dope beat
(35:09):
they Shift is launching free. Yes, they are using They're
using New York state of mind for congary jungle where
dreams are made. They're using that beat as a dipshit
and a white hat with a camera attached to the
(35:31):
bill of his hat walks out of the elevator to
your elevator to your walk in apartment with a with
a camera on his forehead. Big big dolls molding.
Speaker 7 (35:42):
Services in New York City. You might be asking, how
is this possible?
Speaker 1 (35:47):
This guy is so Zuckerberg coated. He is giving like
the heaviest Zuckerberg energy he's He has worked on these
hand gestures until he doesn't even like know what hands
are anymore.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
So this moment has been a long time coming, and
it's something we're really proud of. The future has always
started in New York. This time it will start in
your apartment. Across fifteen countries, Shift already pays tens of
thousands of people through one app to record their everyday
work in chores.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
What are you that? So that would be like a fetish, right,
Like that's like a thing that a fetishist would say. Yeah,
I pay people to record themselves doing arbitrary stuff, and
I like to try not to bust but it's hard
for me.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yeah, file my papers.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Oh yeah, oh yeah. Theres wear a small camera while
they were a small camera. Yeah, you hardly notice it.
It looks like it looking cyclops from the X Men.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
It literally would look less conspicuous if it was like
a chess camera like a body cam.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Yeah, yeah, seriously, if she was holding a steady cam,
like for like a movie set in steady cam.
Speaker 7 (37:07):
This footage changes the next generation of robots. How to
help every home clean Today lays the groundwork for a
home that cleans itself tomorrow, and we're not stopping at
clean apartments, re plumbing and cooking, building fixing. Tomorrow's robots
learn from today's work. Shift is the place that pays
for that work, and the place that hands the benefits
back is today in New York tomorrow, anyone can take part.
(37:30):
Welcome to the shift.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
So he gave up on the hand gestures pretty early on.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Yes, he did his hands from the school of Suckerberg
Evil Text Card Star.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Yeah, he focused more on eyebrow lifting as he was
going through the pitch. But essentially the pitches you let
them watch, well they clean your house, Well someone they
pay cleans your house, and then they're gonna yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
So it's like, are they partnering with cleaning agencies to
do this? And then like it just there's so many
logistical things I have questions on. But also in a
in a general sense, it's like we couldn't be more
vocal that we're like, we do not want the robots
to take our jobs, Like what happens when we cannot work?
Speaker 4 (38:15):
What are we gonna be? Like in Wally? And we're like,
what is the.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Scenario the people who don't get to do anything?
Speaker 5 (38:26):
Yeah, so it's like, why would I want to train
a robot to take my job?
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Like, no, no one wants this at all, No one
wants No one wants robots. I've I've started just like
hip checking the delivery robots every time I see them,
and the way.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
The way moo.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
Actually this is my one. I will be for labout this.
Get that way out of here, No, get that way
mo out of here.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
We don't want it either.
Speaker 5 (38:54):
I know y'all don't I And I'm panicking looking at
that thing.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
I'm like, if you make the wrong her and Waymo,
we're gonna get in an accident. I'm zipping past that thing.
Speaker 5 (39:03):
I'm like, I don't want to be three cars within you.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
It never does make the wrong decision, but like it
that's annoying too. Yeah, it's like, all right, fucking hall monitor,
I think you're better than me.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Narc robot, get out of here. I saw a lady
a couple of weeks ago say excuse me to a
delivery robot, and I said, you don't say to do that.
I literally I couldn't stop myself. I was like, you
don't have to say that to them, like to them, know,
I was like, I hate I'm even anthropomorphizing the robots.
I hate them, dude, They're so bad. Also, like this
(39:39):
video is like insidious for some I mean obviously a
lot of reasons, but also you've got this like Charlotteville
reject is like the cleaner that you're using, you know
what I mean? Not to be like as.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
Someone who lives in New York, and occasionally has a housekeeper.
You're not finding a housekeepers that are doing this, okay,
because a lot of housekeepers are not online like that,
you know what I'm saying. So you're paying cash, you know,
you're helping somebody who is probably you know, undocumented or
an immigrant or something like that, who is trying to
(40:10):
make our life for themselves.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
They're not going to be contacting shift to be on record,
you know, Like the.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Ones who are good are definitely not going you imagine.
So I don't want a.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Twenty year old man, white man to be claim asse're.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Just listening like Charlotteville. Reject is the perfect way to
describe like this guy just like step got out of
like rushing at fucking ole miss like stepped into this commercial.
Do you have any idea how bad that guy would
be at cleaning?
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Dude, I've seen that man's bathrooms when I was believe
I know what that fucker's bathroom looks like. Yeah, he
got an Irish spring three and one three wet towels.
Speaker 5 (40:52):
He's got two roommates who are also bad, and they
all collectively share a towel.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Yes, absolutely, it's not.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
That's not who you want to I dated that guy
during COVID. Okay, like, no, like.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
This on purpose? Is this like pube art that you
put up on the side of your shower.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
Which is what makes it feel more fetish than ever,
because I'm like, you think the target demographic for somebody
who is cleaning houses is this? In reality, this person
that you have showing in the video is someone who
would sign up for this because they're looking for a
quick check and isn't actually cleaning houses. They're not only fans.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
Yeah right, yeah, yeah, And I like that he is.
It's probably a situation where this is the only type
of person he knows is other twenty something white guys.
Of course, it's just a startup with all purely the
most guys named Bryden who yeah, who all like went
to the same fraternity.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Also, like fucking fine, let those Let that be the
guy that teaches the robot how to clean, you know
what I mean, because it's not gonna.
Speaker 4 (41:59):
The rouill fail. You're still right, you know what? Actually
let him.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Yeah's just gonna come in and just be like, oh,
there's dirty dishes in the sink. I didn't see them.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
Like, I will not be referring my cleaning woman to
this app.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Absolutely, the idea that it's gonna that you're going to
train these ais so that that you trust them to
come in cook your food and do your plumbing is
so crazy, Like that's gonna go so so badly if
you ever like like plumbers always have, like they're they're
using every part of their experience like that, and if
(42:35):
if you go like too far down one direction, your
house is just like fucked forever.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
Like if they're like seriously.
Speaker 5 (42:41):
And like, is this there solved that, Like we're getting
rid of trade jobs like I which like trade jobs
are so important, Like we're losing skills. Is this their
their way to I don't know, solve the skill gap.
But I don't want it to be like.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
This, This is a good pitch two twenty something, like
twenty something. People are going to be like, so you're
gonna like clean my shit for free, okay, but it's
it's so bad, like it it's not.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
It's yeah, well it's all crazy too, because a lot
of these robots are also like being driven by people,
like you know, like the way mos are being driven.
I think it's people in the Philippines are like just
checking in just to make sure. So it's also like
now we're just off boarding all of these tasks into
you know, other countries where we're paying them a fraction
of a penny. And that's so it's not none of
(43:32):
it's all a fucking lie.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
Yeah, all hire people are the thirty way mos that
I'm in charge of overseeing actively killing anyone right now.
That's somebody's yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
That's what's going on. It's like so crazy. And it's
also like if I saw somebody wearing this hat, I
would slap them in the face. I like, don't think
I could help it.
Speaker 4 (43:52):
I think you go back to your point, this is
robbery house one on one Like I think if I
were let's say I hire a cleaning person come to
my house and they're wearing the thing, I'm like, no,
get out, like immediately turned back around.
Speaker 5 (44:04):
Babe, because you're not going to be filming my house
and all my intricate things exactly where my my hidden
gems are Like no, exactly, Well, you guys have it
all wrong.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
We're just training our Robert Robert helpers are robot helpers
to help better guys. That's all.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Well, and you're gonna tell me they're not like also
being like, oh, you buy this stuff, guess what that's
going to show up in an ad for you too.
It's like they're selling even more data for the things
I haven't been able to monetize about you yet, Like
uh huh.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
No, and you're going to get some great products recommended
to you. Okay, So I know what. Everybody's so worked up.
Speaker 4 (44:45):
About it, and it all comes back to ads.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Baby, that guy really do like it. That is the
first person who I've watched who I'm absolutely certain has
studied Mark Wall or Mark now Mark Mark Zuckerberg as
like it to be, Like how do I do charisma
like that? Yes?
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Yeah, get my Zuckerberg riz on.
Speaker 1 (45:11):
That's the goal, could you imagine? Anyways, all right, I
gotta go watch my son do a Houdini presentation in class.

tweeted someone once told me that Mexico is more free
than the US because the average citizen can bribe the
government and not just special interest corporations. That kind of
(48:42):
makes sense. And then I like to tweet from Django Gold,
former guest watching Indiana Jones for the first time. Do
archaeologists typically kill this many people?
Speaker 4 (48:56):
It's a more action forward profession than we all.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
Yeah. Yeah, you can find me on Twitter at Jack
Underscore at Brian Blue skyjacko be the number one Instagram

Zeitgeist on Instagram you can go to the description of
this episode wherever you're listening to it, and there at
the bottom you will find the footnotes, which is where
(49:19):
we link off to the information that we talked about
in today's episode. We also link off to a song
that we think you might enjoy and what Miles is
out of town as he is today, we do like
to ask super producer Justin Justin, is there a song
that you think that people might enjoy.
Speaker 3 (49:34):
Yeah, So this song is by a Japanese band I
stumbled upon randomly called Toe.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
And this song has so much movement.
Speaker 3 (49:44):
It's so intricately layered that almost none of the musicians
is playing the same note at the same time. Yet
in spite of that organized tapestry of sound, it somehow
has like a mellowed out atmosphere. It has like a fun,
off kilter monkey timing. There's like flourishes that are added
to it. It's like a like an early Odds R
(50:06):
and B instrumental vibe, but like at a top tier level.
So this song title uses all Japanese characters. I was
told by Miles that it translates to rising Moon. Possibly,
I'm not one hundred percent certain on that, but you
can find that song in the footnotes.
Speaker 1 (50:21):
The band's name is Toe as like the anglicized.
Speaker 3 (50:24):
Version of just like your toe on your foot te,
So yeah, you can find that in the footnotes put notes.

first though, so funny.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
How many comedians, yeah, like the acoustic guitar just being
like I'm a bit of a storyteller, like that's the
vibe of that is Christian youth minister. But I'm like,
oh my, very very funny comedians who who have bring
the acoustic guitar and bring it oh.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah, absolutely well it's a good way to be like
not good at an instrument and hide it by having
jokes around it.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah. Well, we're thrilled to have
you both here. We're going to get to know you,
Brandy a little bit better in a moment. First, we're
going to tell the listeners a couple of the things
we're talking about today. We're going to talk about America's
two hundred and fiftieth B Day concert. What's it caused?
Like America Fest or some bold.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Dude, this is the weekend of Warped tour in DC.
I'm going to be a mile away from that.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Wow, what our so Yeah, nobody's going to be looking
at you because this So America's two hundred and fiftieth
Birthday bash, which we talked about. First of all, there's
the the Octagon that's being built on the White House loan.
And then there's going to be a sick concert that
(06:26):
will not have Brett Michaels or Martina McBride or young.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
For anybody that said that we're going to do it.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Yeah, we got a comedy Okay, we've got a couple Okay,
Vanilla ice.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, a lot of vanilla related acts.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I did not book the comedy stage.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Could you imagine? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean Donald Trump
did say that he might just replace it with just
a set of Trump Jazz, like just him going up there,
just like I don't know, let's wrap what else? What else?
I'll tell you what else. The Trump Phone did hit
the streets last week, and we're starting to get a
(07:04):
look at what what it actually looks like. So we're
just gonna check in with the unboxing of the t one,
which is the Trump Phone. We're gonna talk about a
new amazing deal that feels like creepy like, so it's
it's very like fetishy. It's a this company is like
we're going to clean your house for you for free.
(07:26):
All you need to do is let us wear cameras
on Earth so we can watch this person cleaning the house.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
It's like very selling it on only fans.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It's no, it's like a whole. It's like an AI company.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
So oh, get into it.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, we'll get into it. But they're trying to train
the robots by watching it clean. Watching humans clean your house.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
It's like pov porn, but that.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
To learn how how do humans move? So uh, we'll
talk about that plenty more. But first, Brandy, we do
like to ask our guest, is something from your search
history that's revealing about who you are? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
So I looked up recently. Is mango pie a thing?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Because?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Right? Because I went to it should be right because
me and my boyfriend we went to an apricot orchard
a few weekends ago and picked a bunch. It was
very adorable, and we were like, stone fruit pie. You
love a peach pie, you love an apricot peach situation,
and we're like, can we do like a triple stone
fruit pie? And we're like, well, maybe cherry is the
third thing. And then I was like, mango, why has that?
(08:38):
Why have I never heard that.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
The sweetest, Yeah, I feel.
Speaker 4 (08:43):
Like it would be good in like a key lime
pie esque like going.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
That becoyeah the exact same thought. Oh my god, Yeah,
I immediately thought of like a because a really delicious
mango that is like peak sweetness actually is already the
like it has that custardy feel of a key lime
pie already.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
And if you was a cuz and you could add
a little like lemon to.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Get give it a little citrus.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Yeah, yeah, chefs, get on this, chefs, yes, chef, yes.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Chef please, jef. It does feel like you know, coming
up in the United States of America and often in
the Midwest when I when I was growing up, mango
was probably the most underrated fruit. The agreed so good,
so delicious, and I never had that ship at all.
It was like sushi. I found out about mangoes and
(09:42):
sushi when I was in like a senior in high Schoolingo.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Well, mango's and avocados feel like they are cousins too
to me, you know.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
From a Caribbean place, Uh, they are one and you
have man it was the same time you have avocados, like, yeah,
business is a mango. And then outside of avocado with
salt on it. It's delicious, delicious, But.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I do I feel like it's very indicative of American
culture that we don't have a mango pie but we
have like mince meat, like a sweet pie that is meat.
It's just like, all right, guys, go back to fucking England,
you freaks.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You know exactly exactly, So everyone figure that out this summer.
That's our goal collectively, one of them, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I like it's a good name for like a production company.
Speaker 4 (10:35):
Or something that is kind of cute.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Yeah, right, and it like doesn't really exist, so you can,
like you can own.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
It, Brandy, Yeah, absolutely start another business. Why not?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
What is something that you think is underrated?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So I actually I saw two movies this weekend. I
saw Ala Boosters obviously fucking great, we love it. But
there's also a new movie called Is God Is that
came out recently that I feel like it is not
getting the same level of love. But I just wanted
to say that it was incredibly underrated because it was
a fucking delight.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I loved it. Yeah, And it's.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Just like a kill Bill style movie with like Sterling K.
Brown and Vivica Fox and Carra young and it was
just an absolute blast to see in theaters.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
I was with the rest of America going to see
The Mandalorian and Grogu for the third time. Now we
are having a movie renaissance.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
We really are that.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I pronounced it as a native French speaker. The like
we had these two movies we talked about on trending
yesterday that opened this weekend that are like YouTubers, they're like,
what if we just like let you kind of do
your whole shit.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Like, did you talk about backrooms?
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, we talked back room. We talked about obsess. I
don't think they called it obsess. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Yeah, cool indie film is back. It's it's out there
and it's great and you've gotta go go to the theaters.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, tell me what the name of your movie is
one more time.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
It's called is God?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Is it is?
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It's great. It's twins going on. It's a it's a
kill bill style movie with twins going to avenge their
mother basically, and it's fucking great, honestly.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah. Our pronunciation of it is what it is? Which
is it's what it is? Yeah? The correct way to
say that if you if you don't have time to
it is what it is. Yeah. And also the Simpsons joke.
Do you do you remember when he side show Bob
has die Bart die on him. Oh, yes, tattooed, and
(12:42):
you have die Bar die tattooed. He's like, no, this
is German, it's the Bart. Anyways, Simpsons jokes. Am I right,
you guys? Is God is all right? I can check
it out. Check it out.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Check check check it out.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Something you think is overrated?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
The New York versus LA discussh's get over it. It's
it's so overrated. You sound like a hack when you
talk about it. Just these are two places that people
live and they love and it's okay, and that's fine stuff.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
So everyone is bi coastal now, yes, like for real,
everyone is truly bi coastal as in New York.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Or in LA right now. Yeah, everyone's by coastal exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
You can sit back and forth. We've done this, like
we don't need to be like, why are we pitting
things against each other? This is this is just more
of the class in charge, just trying to pit us
against each other versus looking at them. So let's combine
our strengths.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Actually, they're alternative. You know, it's a problem when they're alternative.
Is like, so just move to Wichita, you know what
I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, those places suck. Come
to the middle of the country. Yeah we'll change you.
Come to God's country, I will say. Yeah. Becca is
agreeing with this, and yet I saw her this weekend.
(14:04):
She took a drink of tap water and did a
dramatic spittake. I was like, do you call this tap water?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Okay, I don't drink New York City.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
I don't drink New York tap water. I will say,
if anything, I love New York tap water. Oh, it's
so scary in our buildings. I mean, it depends where
you live.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
I guess you know my building don't trust.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
So when I moved to New York for the first time,
like in the early aughts, my cool sister was like,
and by the way, the tap water is good to
drink here. And I have never looked into that at all.
I have just been fucking drinking it una.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
If anything, I prefer West Coast tapwater and specifically shout
out to Portland, Oregon. Portland, Oregon has the best water.
That shit is like it is delicious. It is like
never think twice. I'm like, hell, yeah, I'm gonna get
some top water from Portland.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Oregon, coming from a river direct. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Basically yeah, basically I grew in suburban Maryland and like
we had well water growing up, and like, so that's
my top tier. It doesn't have that ledou mommy that
you're looking for, though, Jack, so like you know.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
That is my thing. I like it. I like to
swish it around. Yeah, like la tap water though we
can all agree not not great, nobody, no, no, no, no,
that shit is coming has traveled a long, weary path
to get here.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
No. Yeah, I go to my little water guy and
I get my jugs filled up once a week and
we're good to go. And that's it. And that works
for me. Too many people. Oh yeah, I got a
guy village village water up the street for me. I'm
gonna shut him out.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Nice mom and pop.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
They're delightful. I take my big jugs over there. They say,
do you need help to your car? And I'm like,
I can carry five gallons. Baby, don't worry, I've gallons. Yeah,
I'm so strong. It's great. Yeah, cash only.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Oh, don't don't put them on blasts like that. You
know they're not paying Texas. It's only just now. I
do have a question about well water. Mm hmm, Well's
got a cover on it. Always this is a question
I've always have when people are like, well water is
(16:18):
the best? Can't a bird fall down there? Well, a
bird take a poop in there? Fall down there? What
are we talking?
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Well, I think there's kinds of wells.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
This.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
This is not like I can't go to a well
and it's the ring No no.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
It's not Timmy fell down a well where you know,
it's not that type of situation. It's like the aquifer
well that they dig into and pull out of.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah, and I'm sure everybody knew this, but I've always
been a picture like baby Jessica.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Well, I was thinking the same exact thing, well water.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
I was just like, wow, well in your backyard.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
My my boyfriend is from suburban Maryland, so I was like,
he's never talked about it.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Was like, oh, but that makes more sense.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah, yeah, Well we have like those giant water towers.
You guys know, like whenever they don't have them in California, they.
Speaker 5 (17:12):
Don't they have them in Texas, but I never thought
twice about them. They just say whatever small town high
school is dominating.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
That a place for high school students to drink.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
Yeah, it's like cy Fair High School.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah yeah, yeah, those have In my experience, the worst
water that I've tasted is the water at the Jersey Shore.
The tap water at the Jersey Shore.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
That sounds right.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
That all comes from those big, those big old water towers.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
A feel you you drink it, and then you become
like Chinjan laundry, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yeah, yeah, you get our Jersey Shore people. That uh
enough though, but plenty, yeah, not all, but plenty. That's
for any any time someone says not all anything, it's like, yeah,
but there's plenty that can. Let's take a quick break.
(18:04):
We'll be right back, and we're back. And so it
sounds like, Brandy, you have your plans for America's two
(18:24):
hundred and fiftieth Birthday bash?
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Yes I do.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
But Becca, have you locked down your travel yet to
get to DC?
Speaker 4 (18:33):
I think I'm a little booked. I'm a little day.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
So this is it's giving kid Rocks halftime show at
the super Bowl, It's the Trump administration. I will all right,
so I will say a lot of people are like,
the best they can do is Young MC, which, by
the way, Young MC bailed Bret my Wells. They have
(19:01):
said that this is supposed to mimic the vibe of
a State Fair musical performance.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
Well, and that's what the guests give.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
The guest list is they have nailed that, like the
the State Fair is the stomping grounds of your c
NC music factory. You know, my friend Blake once saw
Montel Jordan at the State Fair and he played this
is how we do it? He played something for the
(19:32):
Honeyes and then he played this is how we do
It again, and I was like, all right, thank.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
You, and here's what they wanted to hear.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Yeah he was correct, and that yes, like the most
efficient musical performance of all the time. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
But yeah, So all of a sudden, people are trying
to make it political and so Bret, Michaels and Martina
McBride had to back out. Young MC backed out already.
The only people who are left. So we've got Million Vanillion,
whereas you probably know them Millie Vanillih. They're still in.
(20:09):
But confusingly, the real Milli Vanilli, which is the group
that actually sang that the group that we thought was
Milli Vanilli lip synced too. The real Milli Vanilli have
stressed that they won't be participated. So does this has
this scandal reached your Becca? You're very young, like, do
(20:31):
you know the Milli Vanilli skin?
Speaker 5 (20:33):
I know of Millie Vanilli. I did not know of
the Milli Vanilli scandal. That they were on top of
a lip sync track.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
They were lip syncers Ashanti, Yes, and they didn't sing
the original track either. Huh No, No, they didn't sing
just totally. Yeah, yeah, they had. There's a band that
played that played music was very popular, and then they
found two guys who are very interesting looking. They did
(21:05):
nail like these guys are fascinating looking. They were backwards closed. Yeah, yes,
that wrong, the wrong band, But that was Chriss Cross.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Oh is Criss Cross?
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Was?
Speaker 5 (21:16):
I used to watch the VH one like I love
the eighties, I love the seventies, I love the sixties,
so I.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
I am aware of a lot of the pop culture
of the day.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yes, but they it was I don't think we've ever
had this where it was just like they the person
who was claiming to be the voice was not the
same like it was just two people lip syncing the
whole time and had never sung. And anyways, they just.
Speaker 4 (21:44):
Said they lost their Grammy because of it, and that
makes sense because they never sang.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
I know, I can't believe they want a Grammy. Their
songs include such hits as bo bah bah bye bo
bah bah Bye Baby, Don't Forget My Number. That's that's it.
It's like a children's song. That's kind of.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
It's kind of so then the question is if they
never sang their songs, what are they gonna do.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
They're going to lip sync songs. So one of them
did not survive the scandal and died, but the one
who is still around is just like music's here to
bring bring people together. Same thing is happening with CNC
Music Factory, which I don't know if he has no
(22:29):
CNC Music Factory. The Sweat that's a jam band, right, Yeah,
they threaten to make you sweat till you bleed. I
believe in the Oh yes, yes, that seems that seems
like too damn much. If you asked me, I don't
want to do that at all.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I really don't want to do that.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
It feels like a dangerous level of dehydration. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I think that's a scene that's like from the Bible
that happens to Jesus at one point when he's like
in so much pain. I'm just always being bringing it
back to j C. My man jac but the Pope
is flying. Like honestly, multiple times I've seen quotes from
(23:12):
his encyclical and been like, bars, I'm sorry, those are bars.
Those are bars. He's saying that he's saying a thing
pretty eloquently that everybody's thinking.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Chicago Pope knows what's up. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
But anyway, so that the only two bands other than
Vanilla Ice that that are sticking it out both have
weird So CNC Music Factory is that basically they kicked
this guy named Freedom Williams out of the band and
then he legally maneuvered so he is now CNC Music Factory,
(23:48):
even though he hasn't been a member of the band
for a long time and was not like, I mean,
he just it's like the Beach Boys, you know, kind
of when like Mike Love came through and took away
from Ian Wilson. I don't think I can compare CNC
Music Factories album to Pet sounds quite But anyways, they're
(24:08):
they're still in. Vanilla Ice says, I don't even vote,
so I don't even care. Just stick.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
He's just he's just cashing.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
He's just okay.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
So then my question is if everyone's bailed and they're
building this giant stage, what are.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
They going to do with it?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Well, so the big, the big thing that they're building
is an octagon for people to uh fight each other.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
It's a UFC.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah, it's a UFC.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
Thing, Okay.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
And then they're also doing this, which is a musical concert.
And you know what Donald Trump says, if they don't
want to do my concert, we'll cancel it. I'll I'll
just get up there and riff baby, which is honestly
what people. Yeah want that.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Yeah, And he loves to DJ also like his he's
famously his Marlago playlist is a point of pride for him.
So just play the Phantom of the Opera just like
as loud as possible over the mall in DC. Is God,
It's so stupid, everything's so dumb, so crazy, man, it
(25:24):
will be funny. What if this radicalizes Vanilla Ice because
this is his only gig this year and it gets canceled,
and he's like.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Fuck, I needed that check though. He gets up on
stage with Trump.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Yeah, I got to see maybe they put some of
the UFC guys in like Ninja Turtle costumes and they
can do the Ninja Turtle song.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Donald Trump said, uh, he is aware of artists getting
the yips about their performances. Do you guys know what
the yips are?
Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, it's like when you're nervous, right.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Right, It's the gymnastics, Yeah, gymnastics.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
There's been like the baseball players who are like second basemen.
Their whole job is just like get grounders and throw
it to first base, and then they stop being able
to like throw it to first base like at all.
They like throw it like thirty feet wide. But for
him to for him to just call it the yips
is such a funny way to describe people being like
attacked by their conscience.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah, it's just also a very like sports ball of him,
just like, Yeah, I don't know, they also get the
yips like this.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, I hear they're choking when it comes to the
decision of whether they're gonna come and be part of
the long term fascist wreckage caused by my administration. I
don't think that's why people get the I don't think
usually they're like concerned, not.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Usually their political beliefs being question, Oh.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Am I going to be in documentaries fifty years from now,
like looking like I'm at a Nazi parade.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
In the answers, they were worried about dying out from
the excessive sport they're about to do.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
That's right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
People don't talk about the talent and the Lenny reefinstall documentaries.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Oh my god, some of the greats. All right, have
you guys, do you have your t one yet? Your
Trump trump phone? Because what is it?
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Jack?
Speaker 4 (27:20):
What? What could it be?
Speaker 1 (27:21):
What is Oh, you don't know and you don't know.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
I have vaguely heard about it.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
Is this like an old person phone where it's like
a jug Yeah? Yeah, yeah, is it the same kind
of but it's just like racists, which.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Is like, yeah, it's like that for racism for racists. Yeah, okay, great. Basically,
the Trump phone was the thing that came out where
he was like, we're gonna make a phone that's gold
and that people fuck with heavy and uh. People pointed
out fairly recently that they hadn't shipped and had recently
(27:59):
pointed out that, like they changed the terms of service
so that they didn't even have to ever ship the
ship the phone. They were like, it's an idea more
than anything. So it's an.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
Indie gogo of sorts, that's right.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Yeah, So the backlash to that and they started shipping
the phone, and we're just going to look at a
quick unboxing video from c net and then we can
you know, share our thoughts. Obviously a fucking sick phone.
Speaker 6 (28:27):
This is the T one phone, okay, is made for Americans.
That they kind of got the American flag wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
So yeah, they put eleven stripes on the American flag.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Well two of those states, you know, the original colonies
did not vote for him, so actually most probably.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
Didn't actually get a wall charger.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
They give you a wall charger. It looks like one
that you would get at a gas station.
Speaker 6 (28:53):
They got the stars right, So the stripes, however, that
represent the thirteen colonies, well kind of missing a couple.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
They they were like, it's on Android. It's just an
Android phone.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Back is plastic. It's got a camera oval with three
cameras in it. This is called a waterfall screen where
it curves around the side. We saw a lot of
these and like Sampson phones like five or.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Six or six years and I have the joint where.
Speaker 6 (29:24):
The screen meets the body. This is kind of has
like almost like an apex to it. So you have
like our volume rocker here very.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
And of course the power design forward Jack.
Speaker 6 (29:37):
So it looks like a staggered Android Apps of cool
stuff doctegrity. That's not a usual app. This app is
called truth Social. I've not used it before, but I
believe it's a.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Preladed with truth Social.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Okay, that's his YouTube.
Speaker 6 (29:49):
It has the date right time, and on the left
side it has the T one phone logo.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
I'm pretty sure they're using the T mobile. We have it.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
Yeah, Places and Mobile did expedite our order because we
are seen at.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Dot So that's essentially what it is. They claimed it
was going to be a golden phone. It is. People
have compared it to looking like a urine sample in
terms of its yellowness and dollar plastic plastic. It's yeah,
the price point would suggest it's the greatest phone of
(30:28):
all time. Other other details that it's coverage is courtesy
of Trump Mobile, so you.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Have to get a Trump Mobile plan.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
Get a new phone that is an old like twenty
seventeen model Samsung phone.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
But it's kind of goldish.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
And it's yellow.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
It's got the idea. They had the idea of gold
in their head when they were putting the design together.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
Is what we're here, though, is people wanting this phone
knowing that they can track them like that, like.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
They actual I want mister Trump to know where I
am at all.
Speaker 5 (31:04):
Yeah, It's like it's like this is the one fione
that actually, quite literally the government can know everything about
you because it's being sent by the government.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Yeah, times stamped and water marked.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Yeah, all your photos. I can't imagine. The coverage is
great because where are Trump? Where are the Trump towers?
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yeah, I'm sure it's just like him is doing licensing
deal Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, because.
Speaker 4 (31:35):
You know what the mobiles vary me and.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
There it is so yeah, and he did steal their
fucking logo because it's just it is the T mobile
te it is. But it all it makes sense that
they got the American flag wrong because the big pitch
on this is that it's made made in the US.
A gold are now, well, they don't know how many
(32:00):
it is now. The box now says it is proudly
assembled in the USA.
Speaker 5 (32:07):
Because of the Samsung phone.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah, it's crazy also, like we don't have the infrastructure
to make this here what we're talking about, it's crazy.
Oh man, these are so stupid. Every picture of the
phone is different too, by the.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Way, that's true, like it changes.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
They're getting all of the refurbished phones, like basically Samsung's like, look,
we got all these phones no one I'll touch.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Do you want them?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Can I smack a yellow thing on the back of that?
You know, yeah, I want.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
We're getting rid of our back phone inventory, so they're
going to be different models, you know, from twenty sixteen
to twenty nineteen, you can.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Have Oh my gosh, I will any of us ever
see one of these in the wild? I want to
know how many people actually got these?
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Like have you ever seen we live no shoes? I've
seen the shoes in the wild?
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Golden sneakers, the Goal Yeah, oh yes.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Those became popular with like I think, like right wing
sneaker heads from Yeah yeah, I don't know, but.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Like, oh my god, they're so ugly.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
They yeah, the shoes are really bad. I just I
can't imagine that they're going to get that. They also
like sent it to c NET, but nobody else has
received theirs, so it's and again they don't legally have
to send it because they have.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
What conditioned ballsy loophole to.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Throw edge to add after the fact, but we might
not actually, by the way, we were able to change
the time space continue because you control.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
To them.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
The flag is like very much just like an artistic
symbol and it doesn't like actually mean anything to keep
it intact. Because I'm looking at these Trump shoes and
they got five stars and three stripes. I guess five
stars stripes, ye, three red stripe, two gold stripes based
on the shoe.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Actually the original American flag. When they're still figuring it out,
we make a rough draft in the White House.
Speaker 2 (34:11):
So yeah, it's actually the rating system five stars and
three stripes out of fifteen to thirteen. That is about
accurate where.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
This administration is coming in with their shoe wear and
everything else. Let's take a let's take a quick break,
and then I've got a great deal for you guys.
We'll be right back. And we're back, and so I
(34:46):
got another product to tell you guys about. You're welcome
this one. So this is called SHIFT. I think I
don't see the possible downside story. Honest with you, it
seems like they've kind of nailed it with this one.
We're gonna watch this video, very straightforward pitch dope beat
(35:09):
they Shift is launching free. Yes, they are using They're
using New York state of mind for congary jungle where
dreams are made. They're using that beat as a dipshit
and a white hat with a camera attached to the
(35:31):
bill of his hat walks out of the elevator to
your elevator to your walk in apartment with a with
a camera on his forehead. Big big dolls molding.
Speaker 7 (35:42):
Services in New York City. You might be asking, how
is this possible?
Speaker 1 (35:47):
This guy is so Zuckerberg coated. He is giving like
the heaviest Zuckerberg energy he's He has worked on these
hand gestures until he doesn't even like know what hands
are anymore.
Speaker 7 (36:03):
So this moment has been a long time coming, and
it's something we're really proud of. The future has always
started in New York. This time it will start in
your apartment. Across fifteen countries, Shift already pays tens of
thousands of people through one app to record their everyday
work in chores.
Speaker 1 (36:21):
What are you that? So that would be like a fetish, right,
Like that's like a thing that a fetishist would say. Yeah,
I pay people to record themselves doing arbitrary stuff, and
I like to try not to bust but it's hard
for me.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
Yeah, file my papers.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Oh yeah, oh yeah. Theres wear a small camera while
they were a small camera. Yeah, you hardly notice it.
It looks like it looking cyclops from the X Men.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
It literally would look less conspicuous if it was like
a chess camera like a body cam.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Yeah, yeah, seriously, if she was holding a steady cam,
like for like a movie set in steady cam.
Speaker 7 (37:07):
This footage changes the next generation of robots. How to
help every home clean Today lays the groundwork for a
home that cleans itself tomorrow, and we're not stopping at
clean apartments, re plumbing and cooking, building fixing. Tomorrow's robots
learn from today's work. Shift is the place that pays
for that work, and the place that hands the benefits
back is today in New York tomorrow, anyone can take part.
(37:30):
Welcome to the shift.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
So he gave up on the hand gestures pretty early on.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Yes, he did his hands from the school of Suckerberg
Evil Text Card Star.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Yeah, he focused more on eyebrow lifting as he was
going through the pitch. But essentially the pitches you let
them watch, well they clean your house, Well someone they
pay cleans your house, and then they're gonna yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:54):
So it's like, are they partnering with cleaning agencies to
do this? And then like it just there's so many
logistical things I have questions on. But also in a
in a general sense, it's like we couldn't be more
vocal that we're like, we do not want the robots
to take our jobs, Like what happens when we cannot work?
Speaker 4 (38:15):
What are we gonna be? Like in Wally? And we're like,
what is the.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
Scenario the people who don't get to do anything?
Speaker 5 (38:26):
Yeah, so it's like, why would I want to train
a robot to take my job?
Speaker 2 (38:31):
Like, no, no one wants this at all, No one
wants No one wants robots. I've I've started just like
hip checking the delivery robots every time I see them,
and the way.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
The way moo.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
Actually this is my one. I will be for labout this.
Get that way out of here, No, get that way
mo out of here.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
We don't want it either.
Speaker 5 (38:54):
I know y'all don't I And I'm panicking looking at
that thing.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
I'm like, if you make the wrong her and Waymo,
we're gonna get in an accident. I'm zipping past that thing.
Speaker 5 (39:03):
I'm like, I don't want to be three cars within you.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
It never does make the wrong decision, but like it
that's annoying too. Yeah, it's like, all right, fucking hall monitor,
I think you're better than me.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Narc robot, get out of here. I saw a lady
a couple of weeks ago say excuse me to a
delivery robot, and I said, you don't say to do that.
I literally I couldn't stop myself. I was like, you
don't have to say that to them, like to them, know,
I was like, I hate I'm even anthropomorphizing the robots.
I hate them, dude, They're so bad. Also, like this
(39:39):
video is like insidious for some I mean obviously a
lot of reasons, but also you've got this like Charlotteville
reject is like the cleaner that you're using, you know
what I mean? Not to be like as.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
Someone who lives in New York, and occasionally has a housekeeper.
You're not finding a housekeepers that are doing this, okay,
because a lot of housekeepers are not online like that,
you know what I'm saying. So you're paying cash, you know,
you're helping somebody who is probably you know, undocumented or
an immigrant or something like that, who is trying to
(40:10):
make our life for themselves.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
They're not going to be contacting shift to be on record,
you know, Like the.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Ones who are good are definitely not going you imagine.
So I don't want a.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
Twenty year old man, white man to be claim asse're.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Just listening like Charlotteville. Reject is the perfect way to
describe like this guy just like step got out of
like rushing at fucking ole miss like stepped into this commercial.
Do you have any idea how bad that guy would
be at cleaning?
Speaker 2 (40:40):
Dude, I've seen that man's bathrooms when I was believe
I know what that fucker's bathroom looks like. Yeah, he
got an Irish spring three and one three wet towels.
Speaker 5 (40:52):
He's got two roommates who are also bad, and they
all collectively share a towel.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Yes, absolutely, it's not.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
That's not who you want to I dated that guy
during COVID. Okay, like, no, like.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
This on purpose? Is this like pube art that you
put up on the side of your shower.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
Which is what makes it feel more fetish than ever,
because I'm like, you think the target demographic for somebody
who is cleaning houses is this? In reality, this person
that you have showing in the video is someone who
would sign up for this because they're looking for a
quick check and isn't actually cleaning houses. They're not only fans.
Speaker 1 (41:30):
Yeah right, yeah, yeah, And I like that he is.
It's probably a situation where this is the only type
of person he knows is other twenty something white guys.
Of course, it's just a startup with all purely the
most guys named Bryden who yeah, who all like went
to the same fraternity.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Also, like fucking fine, let those Let that be the
guy that teaches the robot how to clean, you know
what I mean, because it's not gonna.
Speaker 4 (41:59):
The rouill fail. You're still right, you know what? Actually
let him.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Yeah's just gonna come in and just be like, oh,
there's dirty dishes in the sink. I didn't see them.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
Like, I will not be referring my cleaning woman to
this app.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 1 (42:12):
Absolutely, the idea that it's gonna that you're going to
train these ais so that that you trust them to
come in cook your food and do your plumbing is
so crazy, Like that's gonna go so so badly if
you ever like like plumbers always have, like they're they're
using every part of their experience like that, and if
(42:35):
if you go like too far down one direction, your
house is just like fucked forever.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
Like if they're like seriously.
Speaker 5 (42:41):
And like, is this there solved that, Like we're getting
rid of trade jobs like I which like trade jobs
are so important, Like we're losing skills. Is this their
their way to I don't know, solve the skill gap.
But I don't want it to be like.
Speaker 1 (42:56):
This, This is a good pitch two twenty something, like
twenty something. People are going to be like, so you're
gonna like clean my shit for free, okay, but it's
it's so bad, like it it's not.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
It's yeah, well it's all crazy too, because a lot
of these robots are also like being driven by people,
like you know, like the way mos are being driven.
I think it's people in the Philippines are like just
checking in just to make sure. So it's also like
now we're just off boarding all of these tasks into
you know, other countries where we're paying them a fraction
of a penny. And that's so it's not none of
(43:32):
it's all a fucking lie.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
Yeah, all hire people are the thirty way mos that
I'm in charge of overseeing actively killing anyone right now.
That's somebody's yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
That's what's going on. It's like so crazy. And it's
also like if I saw somebody wearing this hat, I
would slap them in the face. I like, don't think
I could help it.
Speaker 4 (43:52):
I think you go back to your point, this is
robbery house one on one Like I think if I
were let's say I hire a cleaning person come to
my house and they're wearing the thing, I'm like, no,
get out, like immediately turned back around.
Speaker 5 (44:04):
Babe, because you're not going to be filming my house
and all my intricate things exactly where my my hidden
gems are Like no, exactly, Well, you guys have it
all wrong.
Speaker 1 (44:15):
We're just training our Robert Robert helpers are robot helpers
to help better guys. That's all.
Speaker 2 (44:23):
Well, and you're gonna tell me they're not like also
being like, oh, you buy this stuff, guess what that's
going to show up in an ad for you too.
It's like they're selling even more data for the things
I haven't been able to monetize about you yet, Like
uh huh.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
No, and you're going to get some great products recommended
to you. Okay, So I know what. Everybody's so worked up.
Speaker 4 (44:45):
About it, and it all comes back to ads.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Baby, that guy really do like it. That is the
first person who I've watched who I'm absolutely certain has
studied Mark Wall or Mark now Mark Mark Zuckerberg as
like it to be, Like how do I do charisma
like that? Yes?
Speaker 2 (45:07):
Yeah, get my Zuckerberg riz on.
Speaker 1 (45:11):
That's the goal, could you imagine? Anyways, all right, I
gotta go watch my son do a Houdini presentation in class.
So we're cutting it a little shirt. Sure, he's there's
an escape at the end. You'll never be Jackson assistant. Yeah,
he's going to cut me in half. Brandy, Such a

Yeah, I cut I just watched all of Widow's Bay
If you guys haven't seen it, it's a new show
on Apple TV. It's from Katie Dippold. It's super funny
but also like a little bit scary spooky. Each episode
feels like a Stephen King novel but kind of but
like funny in a very dry way. It's all about
a tiny like town, like a like an old like
(46:44):
Maine island town that has cursons and it's very fun,
extremely well done. Big recommend. Apple TV remains undefeated, but
nobody's watching, so go.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
Watch it is wild. Yeah, they're like, we don't we
don't need to tell people about the shows that we make.
Speaker 4 (47:01):
There makes the best television right now.
Speaker 6 (47:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (47:03):
Really are Yeah? Great, great, great show. Really love it.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
That sounds like too much work to tell people about it. Becca,
where can people find you? And is their work? Amedia,
You've been enjoying a.
Speaker 5 (47:14):
Work of media that I have been enjoying. Ooh, I
feel like, oh my god. Well you know, I just
interviewed Chewy on our podcast. The band they're puert Rican
like indie alt rock band. They were featured on Bad
bunnytos but they have a new album coming out soon
and they are on tour with Bad Bunny, which is amazing.
(47:36):
They are doing their opening back for Bad Bunny on
the European leg of their tour.
Speaker 4 (47:40):
So check them out. I really love their stuff.
Speaker 5 (47:43):
But also check out our episode about them because it
was one of my favorites I've done and you can
find them allow me at bex b e CCS, Ramos
on all platforms. You can find Welcome to a Barrio
at Welcome to al Barrio wherever you subscribe. And also
if you were la' Zyking that came to our event
(48:03):
on Sunday May thirty, first, thank you. That was amazing.
We just did an event here in la It was
so much fun. We interviewed the artist Kovo. That'll be
out on the feed.
Speaker 4 (48:13):
Soon and hopefully we're doing more events, so like show
up and show out. Thank you guys so much.
Speaker 1 (48:19):
Let's go. Hell yeah, let's see works of media I've
been enjoying. I like this tweet from kaz Kazushi, who
tweeted someone once told me that Mexico is more free
than the US because the average citizen can bribe the
government and not just special interest corporations. That kind of
(48:42):
makes sense. And then I like to tweet from Django Gold,
former guest watching Indiana Jones for the first time. Do
archaeologists typically kill this many people?
Speaker 4 (48:56):
It's a more action forward profession than we all.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
Yeah. Yeah, you can find me on Twitter at Jack
Underscore at Brian Blue skyjacko be the number one Instagram
Jack Underscore, Oh Underscore Brian. You'll find us on Twitter
and Blue Sky at Daily Zeitgeist. Where at the Daily
Zeitgeist on Instagram you can go to the description of
this episode wherever you're listening to it, and there at
the bottom you will find the footnotes, which is where
(49:19):
we link off to the information that we talked about
in today's episode. We also link off to a song
that we think you might enjoy and what Miles is
out of town as he is today, we do like
to ask super producer Justin Justin, is there a song
that you think that people might enjoy.
Speaker 3 (49:34):
Yeah, So this song is by a Japanese band I
stumbled upon randomly called Toe.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
And this song has so much movement.
Speaker 3 (49:44):
It's so intricately layered that almost none of the musicians
is playing the same note at the same time. Yet
in spite of that organized tapestry of sound, it somehow
has like a mellowed out atmosphere. It has like a fun,
off kilter monkey timing. There's like flourishes that are added
to it. It's like a like an early Odds R
(50:06):
and B instrumental vibe, but like at a top tier level.
So this song title uses all Japanese characters. I was
told by Miles that it translates to rising Moon. Possibly,
I'm not one hundred percent certain on that, but you
can find that song in the footnotes.
Speaker 1 (50:21):
The band's name is Toe as like the anglicized.
Speaker 3 (50:24):
Version of just like your toe on your foot te,
So yeah, you can find that in the footnotes put notes.
Speaker 1 (50:30):

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
