Speaker 1 (00:00):
Get to the choppo. Are you doing my baby's about
to be born? You got me sounding like the throat gold.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Young
Washing Friend a First Blood five twenty two. We have
five hundred and twenty two people with the name of
first Blood in our discord. I give saying I love Rambo.
In the discord.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
You could find an original name, but people love the
first blood. First Blood. Toss another number on there.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
You know the name of the film, the first Rambo
film is first Blood. And I have to assume that
Young Washington is just going to be a remake.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
He's just kidding.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
What if it was like hyper violent like that Santa sketch?
I think you should leave.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Oh oh yeah, that movie it's did you see the trailer?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
No, it's I mean there's like violence, but the guy
who's playing Young Washington, he's like kind of like week
So there's like, I just there's a scene of him.
I don't know if he's like chopping a guy's head
off or chopping a cherry tree down. He's swinging an axe,
but the way he was swinging it, I'm like, bro yo, yo,
you Chris.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
It's like watching Tim Robbins, Uh, try and pitch and
Bull Durham.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah exactly, you're like, whoa, okay, Young Washington. That's why
my hope is that deep down it's hopefully just like
the beginning is sort of like a dream about this
guy being George Washington, and then it's about an aspiring
SoundCloud rapper named Young Washington.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Young Washington, y U n G thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Anyways, that that's coming out on July third, so you'll
have plenty of time to watch it and enjoy it
before you.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Get a free ticket, you know what I mean? Because
it's Angel Studios.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Oh yeah, it's just they're just just show ask go
to your local church and they'll give you.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, take it to Young Washington. For some reason, I
do think he should be setting up booby traps like Rambo,
you know, like the the Red Coats are coming after him,
and he's like got a spiked tree trunk that's like
flying down and just spends bowling people four days.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
On one booby trap setup that would maybe get two people.
Yeah yeah, good return on your time out, Washington.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
This is how we won the Revolutionary War.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
There does seem to be a pretty I don't I
don't because it takes place during the French and Indian War,
so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
We'll see how Angel Studios deal.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Pretty revolutionary. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's why he was young.
That's why he's nood alarmed. He's not all ripped after
getting the super Soldier serum.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Young money, Young Washington. M h, I mean he's on
our money. I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Low bill though, you know what I mean? Just a
quarter and as single bronze. How did they determine that?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Like is that ranking or like yo, Ben Franklin, bro,
that's he's going one hundred.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, that's that.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
There must have been some lobbying in the the founding father.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Back then they're like George Washington number one on our
first president dollar bill, and this world will never go
out of style.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Oh wait, the rising cost of things makes it so.
This is an insult, obsolete, absolitely. My name is Jack O'Brien.
That over there is mister Miles Great. It is Thursday,
June twenty fifth as we record this, and this is
(03:24):
the episode where we tell you what is trending in
the world. Let's see, we got the opening, we got
the opening to the Big Two hundred and fifty celebration. No,
not the actual good concert that's happening in the in
Los Angeles, but the one that's happening in DC where
they happened anyone.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, we'll actually talk about that on tomorrow's episode. Oh
let me know.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
There's a they like, can't fucking get anyone for this thing.
So Trump was like, fuck it, I'll do it, We'll
do it. But they did. We did get Caspitel's girlfriend
opening with the National Anthem just a very like basic
like she was. She was focusing all her energy, like
(04:13):
her hands are like touching the notes a little bit. Yeah,
she's uh, the most serviceable basic presentation of the National Anthem.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I gotta say, I she fucking killed it, dude.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, you know what I mean. I was blown away
by her talent, her ability to stay on pitch. Fantastic. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Ended the National Anthem with a flourish of holding one
note that would have brought Prime Whitney to her tears,
one note, perfectly, honestly, perfectly down the middle, performed yes,
yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I was like, all right, yeah, good for you.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Let's just get that just that last flourish because this
is where she really brings her.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
She can listen to the breath control.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, I mean again, Whitney, you've been
You're unnoticed. Whey Whitney Houston plus fade.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Oh it keeps going, It keeps going. Okay, she's point
like she's doing kind of a thing with her hands,
like elderly white guy on a dance floor at a
wedding where they're like kind of keeping time with their finger,
(05:33):
you know, oh yeah, yeah, snapping along to the beat,
you know.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Or like yeah, like how flappers.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I feel like like pictures a video, old timey like
flapper people like.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, so she did that, she did that.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
It was it was one of those like if this
is happening at your local, uh, you know, triple A
baseball game, you know League baseball game, and it's like
a twelve year old you're like really blown away.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I can't honestly, I can't say really anything negative about it.
You hit you you're you hit the notes. That's really
the most important thing as a singer. You hit the
fucking notes. You weren't too pitchy, as much as I
wanted to.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Be on my numbers, it's not for me.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
It's a yes from me, Alexis you're going to hollow.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Welcome to Hollywood, babe. So then she wanted gets signed
and immediately dumps this ass.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
She's like, I got signed this sound cloud to Hollywood. Yeah, welcome.
Oh who's that is that? Is? That? Is that the
hound from Game of Thrones?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
No, no, it's just how Simon looks with all the
oz empic Now, yeah, he.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Looks wild, dude, when that my man?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
When you guys no fat, like the fact kind of
keeps your ship looking plump, a little bit little juicy.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
When that all goes away, oh boy.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
And she just he really like there is a certain
type of so like level of plastic surgery where you
look like you're being drawn by an increasingly younger person.
And like, now he just looks because there's nothing on
the face except eyes, you know what I mean, right right,
It's just it really looks like a poor drawing of
(07:16):
Simon Cow's face at this point.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, well, hey, look he's got I'm sure maybe even
he's not a billionaire, but he is, he's got enough
money to he's doing fine.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Just I was worried about that, but I looked into
it and he is doing fine.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
He's got yuney, he's got enough money, and you got
enough money to shoot margarine into the gaps or whatever
people do to put their faces into the gaps.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
The least sexy person trying to describe sex.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, I was shooting some margarine into the gaps. What
do you want?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Gross?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Trump got up there, and I honestly, there's there's a
lot of clips of what he was saying, but it
all boils down to the same shit.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
He's lying and just making ship up. So that's what
he did.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
He got up there, he was saying stuff about, oh,
we got it right, like it's there to kick off
this thing, and he's like Erad's.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Nuclear cape but big and eves.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I completely deseberated, okay, and we got answers.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
He started to say ancestors and said answers. I'm just
giving you the rundown without having to hear his voice.
Then he said some more dumb shit about the reflecting pool,
then claimed America's back spoiler alert works.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
The reflecting pool. Just that it's been just like going
on about the vandle like just vandalism. Okay, I that
shit going anyway. So then he did announce the Patriot Games,
which had a few people being like, huh, what's that
were with Harrison Ford, Yes, exactly, with the one Jack Ryan.
(08:48):
Uh No, this was he was saying, this is like
basically where we're gonna have the student athletes from across
the nation and compete in the games to end the
debate on racial supremacy or something. It's basically it sounded
like like sort of like whatever the prequel was to
full blown Hunger Games, right where they're like, what, We're
(09:08):
just like giving you a fun contest to eventually die.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, And then they're like, no, but if you want
to live, you have to kill the other children.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah go, you got like as much food as you want.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
So yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Don't know, dude, And you can get a sick outfit
and hang out with fucking Woody Harrelson.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Sounds like a cool night to me. Wow, is in
that movie? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I just remember I recently saw like one of the
first ones, Like the fuck.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Is this ship?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Anyway?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
So then one part that is just kind of interesting
was Trump was talking about like he's like wait, DC,
He's like the first of July celebrations would be so beautiful,
Please come, he was, and also please come, I'll be there.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Make sure you please please, I'm begging you please visit me.
It's lowly here in the home. He's on some Jeb
Bush shit. It is interesting to like have this version
of him where like he's saying that. Like in the past,
we would cover what he's saying and be like, how
are people buying this shit? Yeah, like nobody's buying it anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
No, not at all. So this is what he said.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
He goes, you got to come through for the fourth
of July because he's like a fucking military flyovers, dude,
We're gonna have shit way better than that.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
So from today through July tenth, this event will showcase
all fifty six states and territories. There will be no
military flyovers. And I want to tell you something, because
they're going to be beyond flyovers. There'll be something like
you've never seen you get just a little little tiny
glimpse of it tonight. By the way, how good is
(10:40):
our air Force? How good is our nobody air force?
They are serious planes. When the band see those planes
come and they say, we give up.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
When the bad guys see they, we give up, unless
it's Iran, in which case we give up. And we
give then we give up because we don't have the
metal for this. The way he was like, oh, the
flyover like nothing you've ever seen. What you got was
like a taste. It felt like a like a Batman
villain who was like you at the beginning.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Like Joker when Joker decides to kill everyone in Gotham
and he's like, come come watch my parade, Come see
kill you on flyover?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Oh wait to see it?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Like nothing you've ever seen a virtualized children. So anyway, uh,
not much there except for those things. So salutes to
America's birthday. Almost there, two fish.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Please come, please, please to be amazing? What could be
a beyond a flyover?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Even mean like.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I'm honestly I felt like I don't know You're you're
gonna drop physical bombs on people like in the time,
telling you you never seen something like this full of bombs.
We're gonna have eight ten warthogs doing full on straping
runs on the mall.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
You're gonna hear.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Bing binged and people are gonna try and run away
and will bing bing laser guying.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Exactly have you heard of vulcan cannon? Folks?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
You're just gonna hear ah, that was seven thousand rounds
right there, Volks.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
What else? What else is Donald Trump up to?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Uh? Republicans are passing a war powers resolution and not right? Yeah,
it truly feels like to pass this, or to come
close to passing this after the war is yeah, yeah,
(12:33):
is truly like doing the like fake punch thing after
somebody walked away like three minutes ago, like right behind them, yes,
but like it's not right behind them, Like what did
you say?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Yeah, like you do it like the door closed, like
that's what I thought, bitch, and then the door.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Opens like I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Sorry, I forgot my keys.
Sorry what were saying? I'm sorry? You know what I
mean it? But yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Earlier this week, four Republicans joined Democratic senators in passing
a war powers resolution to or a mind Trump he
has to get approval from Congress to start wars. The
resolution quote directs the President to remove the United States
Armed forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
A little late for the buquet whatever. Again, this doesn't
really have any kind of enforcement mechanism, very symbolic, but
(13:23):
given the House passed a similar bill like earlier this month,
it does at least show the White House that Congress
won't just fall in line unless your Senator Bill Cassidy, who, first.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Of all, he's on his way.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
He's one of these people who's on their way out
because Trump just backed his primary opponent and that person won,
and Cassie's like, I'm not gonna get bullied, and he
voted for this. Then Trump lost his mind on him
and went off on him, and then he came back
and he's like, Okay, I'm actually changing my vote.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Ummm, so then the wait you can do that?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Well, they took another vote, and they he was like, actually,
we need to take another vote on this. This is
where I'm at. And it's interesting because Bill Cassidy was
one of the few Republicans that joined Democrats. You know,
there was one Democrat that didn't vote for the War
Powers Resolution to join the GP.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
You want to guess who that could have been.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
You know, fucking car heart, hoodie wearing fuck bag would
have that.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Could have been anyway.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
And so yeah, they got the on paper now that
this resolution didn't pass. So Trump's like, wow, this is
a this is a real this is this puts Iran
on notice. It's like that you had a fucking tantrum
and they changed the the vote to something on a
bill that had no whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
So he also stepped on his own mushroom yesterday too
when he refused to sign a fucking affordable housing bill
that passed with bipartisan support, you know, because affordable housing
is like a huge issue. Wow, Because he was like,
rich people are gonna like they've no, we can't do
this to them.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
People got their houses now, we can't just make that
stuff cheap.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
No, no, no, no, no, no, that's fair. Really, the
broad strokes of it was he wants he wants this
the House to like basically, he just wants Congress and
nuke the filibuster and passed the voter Suppression Save Act.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Is what it all boiled down to.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Like he said, it was like he gave all these
other reasons, but really he's like, no, I don't want
this until we we signed the voting cheating bill right right,
Which is so wacky because a you're gonna ship why like,
if you're worried about mid terms, why ship on a
bill that your party can actually somewhat point to as
(15:44):
like a net positive because oh right, because you're a narcissistant.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, he he wants the reason for winning to be
his idea. He wants it to be his I want
to save act and we can cheat and do the
thing well.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
But it's weirder too because it's like he doesn't it's
like the a fort Like obviously Republicans are like, what
the fuck what is he doing? Like we got this
thing passed because we kept saying we need something to
be able to campaign on that we're doing something about affordability,
like the thing right now that we're getting killed in
in terms of support, and so saying fuck all and
(16:16):
we need to steal this thing is one of the
most backwards idea because like he knows affordability is tanking popularity,
but he acts like it isn't a problem because then
he would have to acknowledge that he could be doing more.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
So then the solution is to cheat.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
But he doesn't want to call it cheating, but he
knows that's what it is, right.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
But I think he's not interested in winning elections at
this point, like be on political merits, right, he just win.
He just wants to win by cheating, like that's he's
fucked win voters over. So you know, he's just like, yeah, no, none,
(16:55):
none of this matters if they're actually counting vote.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
But then the problem is too the way this actor
is worded, Like you know, this voter suppression bill, there's
like some of the provisions in that, like it would
some of the voter ide stuff is so strict that
it would almost be like the only thing you could
bring is like a fucking passport to vote. Yeah, and
then like that's not gonna help your fucking voters, dude.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
It'll just like make it so like twenty like a
couple dozen people vote.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah, like fourteen Democrats swing every election because they had
a fucking passport. It's like, anyway, not even that is
well thought out, because I think this has been told
to Trump many times. It's like, we don't need to like,
if we can just get a couple of things going,
maybe we can win on the merits.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I know you probably won't, but here they are.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, And he's also you know, he has the most
important thing to him is the election that he lost
to Biden, and so he just wants to fix that
to go back and win that election.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Gotta win, gotta win.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Anyways, let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll
talk about things that aren't Trump. We'll be right back.
And we're back.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
We're back.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And I told you we weren't going to talk about Trump.
So Pete hegg Seth.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Ah yeah, Washington.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Young Washington himself. I don't like his legs, Miles. I
don't like the legs on Pete egg Seth, Washington doing
him try and bench press, looking like a muppet bench pressing.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
He breaks his femur somehow, Oh fuck.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
So back in April, he announced that the US military
would no longer require the annual flu vaccine for troops
aka American warriors. How yeah, he said it was the
flu shot rules are absurd, overreaching mandates that only weaken
our war fighting capabilities somehow, Like, I don't weaken What's
(18:57):
what's weak about preventing an illness?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
What does he think? Like?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I can't even understand where like he thinks he's coming
from on this.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
The only way this makes sense is if the flu
actually gives you superpowers when you have the flu, right, in.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Which case you're like, yeah, but no, we want everybody
with the flu. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Experts have pointed out in the understatement of the year
that Hegseth's decision was a serious lapse in judgment that
would make people sick and weaken the military's case away.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
A guy with whiskey demons and compromised judgment.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Okay, I think this guy's got I'm gonna say it.
I think his judgment is not great on this one.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Go.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
So uh, the Army, Navy, and Air Force have so
that happened in April. It recently seems as though the Army, Navy,
and Air Force have quietly started requiring flu shots for
basic trainees again, and in case the America, because yes,
they've decided, did they hate Oh wait, no, there's a
(20:02):
massive flu outbreak in the Air Force.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Right now, oh right, right, right right, Well, just because
you weren't taking the flu vaccine.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Right about forty of new trainees at Joint Base San
Antonio had flu vaccination, so sixty percent didn't, and a
June outbreak began right away. So far, two and twenty
two recruits have gotten sick for were hospitalized. One person's died,
(20:31):
although unclear if the cause of death was flu or not,
but it was a cause of.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Death was not enough flu. It is not enough. Sp
I was going to say, this guy's fucking so stupid.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Like it's one of the most it's just so again,
it makes sense because these people have no there's no
foresight to anything. It's purely just like the idea of
destroying whatever they see as the status quo that they
don't like anymore and being like, and that's good once
you de stable lies things because that's not there, rather
being like, what happens if I kick out this structural
(21:05):
support post?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Right? Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
It's like they love saying fuck around and find out,
but like fuck around implies a certain uh you know,
you shouldn't say quad like a certain like I don't know,
like fun to it, like we're throwing caution to the wind.
This is like this isn't even fucking around. It's like
pressing the button labeled this will cause a flu outbreak
(21:28):
that all the experts about the flu say will cause
a flu outbreak, and then finding out that it causes
a flu outbreak, it's like, yeah, no, it's so childish.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
It's like childish rebellion where it's like you're gonna burn
your hand if you touch that yes, uh huh.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah watch this front, Yeah, says I bet their Jenga
strategy is crazy imagining Jingo with this motherfucker. Yeah no,
it's He also said that this is crazy that they're
not preventing against the flu for a bunch of people who, uh,
their full time job is shouting into each other's mouths.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, good, good good.
It's good to have the place where I feel, like,
like the Space Force, Air Force, like a lot of
pilots all sort.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Of end up in that same uh that the.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
The same air Force base. So it's like you're like
fucking over multiple branches like at the same time by
having them all there and being like, yeah, sixty percent
of the people who are just going raw no vaccine.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
That's crazy that that many people aren't doing the aren't
doing the flu shots. I mean, I guess that's probably
not that far from general population numbers.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
But go get your flu shots, y'all.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
It's you're not protecting yourself, you're protecting anybody who's older
who you come into contact with.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
I remember, it wasn't until like we started doing this show,
was when I started regularly getting my flu shot.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, like in twenties or prior, And once you think.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
About it, you're like, oh, yeah, this is It's not
it's like throwing caution to the wind for yourself. It's
like throwing caution to the wind for other children and
the elderly.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Yeah, exactly, other people who are immunal compromise because the
longest time, like I never get the flu.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Why the fuck do I need the flu vaccine? I
never done.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I'm like in my twenties, I'm good over here.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
It's like it's just weird.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Like I'll go to like a party and then everyone
around me gets it after.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
It's weird.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
I don't know, maybe I got some sick ass jeans,
but yeah, yeah, you gotta keep each other safe. But
I guess Mary, I like that, even just for the
Air Force, like you know, like the military about keeping
America safe. They don't even want to keep themselves fucking
safe from anything.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
But it's weak, Bro.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Only you terrified of needles.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
That was like my cousin when he said with condoms,
like when he was in college, he was like, bro,
not He's like he's like, if you worry about shit,
you're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Something that's definitely true.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
And I'm like, bro, you are fit to be this
secondcretary of defense with that kind of mindset, that shit
STDs come from worrying about STDs. I mean, that is
the most nineteen year old ship my cousin said at
the time. He's he he's a responsible mind over the body.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Bro.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, but he definitely I lured that over him all
the time, Like, bro, whenever he's like shows his intelligence. Now,
I'm like, you know, you used to say some dumb
fucking shit, right, they.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Must hate to see you coming.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Should we talk about nark sucker nerd oh Man, Dude,
what's going on? Why is everybody hating on my man's.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
His idea because his ideas fucking suck.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
He's not good at ideas anymore. I mean, I don't
know a lot, Like a lot of the headlines recently
was like I think it was one of the one
of someone in the c suite at Meta was like, dude,
this is the lowest morale has been I think, like
ever or one of the lowest times it's ever been
at the company, just generally with the state of things.
They said, the last time it was as bad was
when the Cambridge Analytica scandal came out, or not scared,
(25:04):
just like it was known to people, what how Facebook
was collecting our psychographic data, and then it could be
packaged to you know, manipulate people, like through.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Social media posts and things like that.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
It feels like to average a story a month that
is just like, oh, they had all the evidence. Like
it's like, you know, tobacco executive caliber just being like, oh,
look at these graphs of what it says our product
does to people. How do we cover that up and
keep doing it?
Speaker 3 (25:35):
So based on this like line just keep going up.
When we're saying like this is kind of like the
the fallout from our product. What's happening like further down
the graph that we can't see. Does it go down eventually?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
No, it keeps going.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Up, keeps going up forever. The cool thing about the line.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Oh okay, cool, well yeah, there's also like stuff about
like they're like they're going to stop their employee surveillance program.
But it just feels like he's stopped innovating and just
been chasing the fucking dragon to keep up with the
tech world. And I think ever since the Metaverse, he's
been dabbling in like AI many other things, not very successfully.
Even though the car the commercials are like or even
(26:12):
when you're on Instagram, like do you want.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
To use AI? AI? No? No, I'm hey, can we
offer you some AI?
Speaker 4 (26:19):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I'm just trying to send someone a discord link in
a in a DM. Man, the fuck do I need
AI for?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Just on Chapo talking about how like AI is now
transitioning to this model of like tokens where they're going
to be like start trying to charge people for AI
for the thing that like people have been kind of
using up to this point, and like their whole their
whole case is like built on like things like Uber
where and uh, Amazon Web Service, where like they spent
(26:49):
a lot of money in the beginning to uh, you know,
build something that then people became reliant on, and they
just like haven't bothered to build something people became reliant
on because they spent all that money. It's like way
more than any other product in history, Like way more
than Amazon Web Service, way more than Uber then Uber.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Merely being like download this app and you drive your
own fucking car. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Now it's just they they've like spent all this money
to be like the future is amazing, and then they
don't have anything to show for it, and they're already
at the point where they're like, we're gonna have to
start charging people for this thing that they already don't
use or like that much. Yeah, and we like have
(27:33):
to force people like that is one of the things
that people The moral problem at Facebook and a lot
of tech companies is that the employees are being forced
to use AI and it's.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Just like, no, it's extent that.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Well a lot of people who like like do a
job well before AI and like this is making it
harder for me. Yeah, but yeah, like the other apps,
they did the right thing. They had like a drug
dealer's perspective, right, Like usually have you seen a movie
about hustling, Bro, you let the fiends get the first
one for.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Free, right, and then they're like, well I fucking need that.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
And then they come like, oh you're hooked now, Okay,
here are the prices now, because I have you addicted
to my substance.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
There. Now there's Mike you want good enough? You want
to eat a rat shit pie? Bro? All right, well
it's fifty bucks for a bite.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Right on all that rat shit we've been giving you
for free. Yeah, kind of my boss said, I was
supposed to be eating it, but I've just like kind
of been pretending to that helpful. It makes me feel sick.
Oh yeah, well now it's fifty bucks.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Oh boom, what's up, bro, I'll see you in Dubai baby.
All right, Well, anyway, sucker Nerd has a new new idea. Okay,
something fucking genius, something cutting edge.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I'm just gonna read this excerpt.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Mister Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Meta, recently dispatched a
small team at his company to rate a smartphone app
similar to Polymarket and Calshi. Okay to employees, said yeah,
users would not wage your money, oh new idea, and
the app would probably would probably rely on a video
game like points system instead, though the company had not
(29:17):
ruled out the eventual use of real money.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Betty, Jesus, so you're coming up with just baby Calshi?
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah that is even that's like worse
when you're you're just being like, what about a shittier
version of another thing? Is where the Meta ideation is
(29:40):
right now, it's.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
His career since the social network has really validated the
Winklevoss Twins like that he's just a person who like
takes people's ideas and like he got he got one
good one when he was at a Harpers book. Yeah,
he got the good one at that when he was
did the Facebook. But since then he's he came out
(30:07):
he was like, all right, I got I got the
next one, guys, And it was fucking a cartoon version
of yourself floating around in a in a space not
doing his.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Career is like Ja Rules and then like around the
meta versus when fifty started faughing with Ja Rule completely
into jar Rule's career, so like meta like just like.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
With Ja Rule, he was like Halla, Halla, and he's
like doing his songs with.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
J Low and was like, ah, are you really And
then once fifty cent was like I'm exposing you.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
You're a fucking herb, his stock went down.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
In this case, he himself is fifty cent. Also, he's
no one exposing himself.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
He created fifty cent, so he's Jo Rull who then
created fifty cent in a lab to then own him
with his own idea and now he can't get Yeah,
well he can't get back up, so I don't know, man, Good.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Young
Washing Friend a First Blood five twenty two. We have
five hundred and twenty two people with the name of
first Blood in our discord. I give saying I love Rambo.
In the discord.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
You could find an original name, but people love the
first blood. First Blood. Toss another number on there.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
You know the name of the film, the first Rambo
film is first Blood. And I have to assume that
Young Washington is just going to be a remake.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
He's just kidding.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
What if it was like hyper violent like that Santa sketch?
I think you should leave.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Oh oh yeah, that movie it's did you see the trailer?
Speaker 3 (00:57):
No, it's I mean there's like violence, but the guy
who's playing Young Washington, he's like kind of like week
So there's like, I just there's a scene of him.
I don't know if he's like chopping a guy's head
off or chopping a cherry tree down. He's swinging an axe,
but the way he was swinging it, I'm like, bro yo, yo,
you Chris.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
It's like watching Tim Robbins, Uh, try and pitch and
Bull Durham.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah exactly, you're like, whoa, okay, Young Washington. That's why
my hope is that deep down it's hopefully just like
the beginning is sort of like a dream about this
guy being George Washington, and then it's about an aspiring
SoundCloud rapper named Young Washington.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Young Washington, y U n G thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Anyways, that that's coming out on July third, so you'll
have plenty of time to watch it and enjoy it
before you.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Get a free ticket, you know what I mean? Because
it's Angel Studios.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Oh yeah, it's just they're just just show ask go
to your local church and they'll give you.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, take it to Young Washington. For some reason, I
do think he should be setting up booby traps like Rambo,
you know, like the the Red Coats are coming after him,
and he's like got a spiked tree trunk that's like
flying down and just spends bowling people four days.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
On one booby trap setup that would maybe get two people.
Yeah yeah, good return on your time out, Washington.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
This is how we won the Revolutionary War.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
There does seem to be a pretty I don't I
don't because it takes place during the French and Indian War,
so I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
We'll see how Angel Studios deal.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Pretty revolutionary. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's why he was young.
That's why he's nood alarmed. He's not all ripped after
getting the super Soldier serum.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Young money, Young Washington. M h, I mean he's on
our money. I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Low bill though, you know what I mean? Just a
quarter and as single bronze. How did they determine that?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Like is that ranking or like yo, Ben Franklin, bro,
that's he's going one hundred.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, that's that.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
There must have been some lobbying in the the founding father.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Back then they're like George Washington number one on our
first president dollar bill, and this world will never go
out of style.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Oh wait, the rising cost of things makes it so.
This is an insult, obsolete, absolitely. My name is Jack O'Brien.
That over there is mister Miles Great. It is Thursday,
June twenty fifth as we record this, and this is
(03:24):
the episode where we tell you what is trending in
the world. Let's see, we got the opening, we got
the opening to the Big Two hundred and fifty celebration. No,
not the actual good concert that's happening in the in
Los Angeles, but the one that's happening in DC where
they happened anyone.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Yeah, we'll actually talk about that on tomorrow's episode. Oh
let me know.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
There's a they like, can't fucking get anyone for this thing.
So Trump was like, fuck it, I'll do it, We'll
do it. But they did. We did get Caspitel's girlfriend
opening with the National Anthem just a very like basic
like she was. She was focusing all her energy, like
(04:13):
her hands are like touching the notes a little bit. Yeah,
she's uh, the most serviceable basic presentation of the National Anthem.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I gotta say, I she fucking killed it, dude.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah, you know what I mean. I was blown away
by her talent, her ability to stay on pitch. Fantastic. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Ended the National Anthem with a flourish of holding one
note that would have brought Prime Whitney to her tears,
one note, perfectly, honestly, perfectly down the middle, performed yes,
yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I was like, all right, yeah, good for you.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Let's just get that just that last flourish because this
is where she really brings her.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
She can listen to the breath control.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, I mean again, Whitney, you've been
You're unnoticed. Whey Whitney Houston plus fade.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Oh it keeps going, It keeps going. Okay, she's point
like she's doing kind of a thing with her hands,
like elderly white guy on a dance floor at a
wedding where they're like kind of keeping time with their finger,
(05:33):
you know, oh yeah, yeah, snapping along to the beat,
you know.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Or like yeah, like how flappers.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
I feel like like pictures a video, old timey like
flapper people like.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, so she did that, she did that.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
It was it was one of those like if this
is happening at your local, uh, you know, triple A
baseball game, you know League baseball game, and it's like
a twelve year old you're like really blown away.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I can't honestly, I can't say really anything negative about it.
You hit you you're you hit the notes. That's really
the most important thing as a singer. You hit the
fucking notes. You weren't too pitchy, as much as I
wanted to.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Be on my numbers, it's not for me.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
It's a yes from me, Alexis you're going to hollow.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Welcome to Hollywood, babe. So then she wanted gets signed
and immediately dumps this ass.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
She's like, I got signed this sound cloud to Hollywood. Yeah, welcome.
Oh who's that is that? Is? That? Is that the
hound from Game of Thrones?
Speaker 3 (06:39):
No, no, it's just how Simon looks with all the
oz empic Now, yeah, he.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Looks wild, dude, when that my man?
Speaker 3 (06:46):
When you guys no fat, like the fact kind of
keeps your ship looking plump, a little bit little juicy.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
When that all goes away, oh boy.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
And she just he really like there is a certain
type of so like level of plastic surgery where you
look like you're being drawn by an increasingly younger person.
And like, now he just looks because there's nothing on
the face except eyes, you know what I mean, right right,
It's just it really looks like a poor drawing of
(07:16):
Simon Cow's face at this point.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, well, hey, look he's got I'm sure maybe even
he's not a billionaire, but he is, he's got enough
money to he's doing fine.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
Just I was worried about that, but I looked into
it and he is doing fine.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
He's got yuney, he's got enough money, and you got
enough money to shoot margarine into the gaps or whatever
people do to put their faces into the gaps.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
The least sexy person trying to describe sex.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, I was shooting some margarine into the gaps. What
do you want?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Gross?
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Trump got up there, and I honestly, there's there's a
lot of clips of what he was saying, but it
all boils down to the same shit.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
He's lying and just making ship up. So that's what
he did.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
He got up there, he was saying stuff about, oh,
we got it right, like it's there to kick off
this thing, and he's like Erad's.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Nuclear cape but big and eves.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
I completely deseberated, okay, and we got answers.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
He started to say ancestors and said answers. I'm just
giving you the rundown without having to hear his voice.
Then he said some more dumb shit about the reflecting pool,
then claimed America's back spoiler alert works.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
The reflecting pool. Just that it's been just like going
on about the vandle like just vandalism. Okay, I that
shit going anyway. So then he did announce the Patriot Games,
which had a few people being like, huh, what's that
were with Harrison Ford, Yes, exactly, with the one Jack Ryan.
(08:48):
Uh No, this was he was saying, this is like
basically where we're gonna have the student athletes from across
the nation and compete in the games to end the
debate on racial supremacy or something. It's basically it sounded
like like sort of like whatever the prequel was to
full blown Hunger Games, right where they're like, what, We're
(09:08):
just like giving you a fun contest to eventually die.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, And then they're like, no, but if you want
to live, you have to kill the other children.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah go, you got like as much food as you want.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
So yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Don't know, dude, And you can get a sick outfit
and hang out with fucking Woody Harrelson.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Sounds like a cool night to me. Wow, is in
that movie? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I just remember I recently saw like one of the
first ones, Like the fuck.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Is this ship?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Anyway?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
So then one part that is just kind of interesting
was Trump was talking about like he's like wait, DC,
He's like the first of July celebrations would be so beautiful,
Please come, he was, and also please come, I'll be there.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Make sure you please please, I'm begging you please visit me.
It's lowly here in the home. He's on some Jeb
Bush shit. It is interesting to like have this version
of him where like he's saying that. Like in the past,
we would cover what he's saying and be like, how
are people buying this shit? Yeah, like nobody's buying it anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
No, not at all. So this is what he said.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
He goes, you got to come through for the fourth
of July because he's like a fucking military flyovers, dude,
We're gonna have shit way better than that.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
So from today through July tenth, this event will showcase
all fifty six states and territories. There will be no
military flyovers. And I want to tell you something, because
they're going to be beyond flyovers. There'll be something like
you've never seen you get just a little little tiny
glimpse of it tonight. By the way, how good is
(10:40):
our air Force? How good is our nobody air force?
They are serious planes. When the band see those planes
come and they say, we give up.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
When the bad guys see they, we give up, unless
it's Iran, in which case we give up. And we
give then we give up because we don't have the
metal for this. The way he was like, oh, the
flyover like nothing you've ever seen. What you got was
like a taste. It felt like a like a Batman
villain who was like you at the beginning.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Like Joker when Joker decides to kill everyone in Gotham
and he's like, come come watch my parade, Come see
kill you on flyover?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Oh wait to see it?
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Like nothing you've ever seen a virtualized children. So anyway, uh,
not much there except for those things. So salutes to
America's birthday. Almost there, two fish.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Please come, please, please to be amazing? What could be
a beyond a flyover?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Even mean like.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
I'm honestly I felt like I don't know You're you're
gonna drop physical bombs on people like in the time,
telling you you never seen something like this full of bombs.
We're gonna have eight ten warthogs doing full on straping
runs on the mall.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
You're gonna hear.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Bing binged and people are gonna try and run away
and will bing bing laser guying.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Exactly have you heard of vulcan cannon? Folks?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
You're just gonna hear ah, that was seven thousand rounds
right there, Volks.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
What else? What else is Donald Trump up to?
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Uh? Republicans are passing a war powers resolution and not right? Yeah,
it truly feels like to pass this, or to come
close to passing this after the war is yeah, yeah,
(12:33):
is truly like doing the like fake punch thing after
somebody walked away like three minutes ago, like right behind them, yes,
but like it's not right behind them, Like what did
you say?
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Yeah, like you do it like the door closed, like
that's what I thought, bitch, and then the door.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
Opens like I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Sorry, I forgot my keys.
Sorry what were saying? I'm sorry? You know what I
mean it? But yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Earlier this week, four Republicans joined Democratic senators in passing
a war powers resolution to or a mind Trump he
has to get approval from Congress to start wars. The
resolution quote directs the President to remove the United States
Armed forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
A little late for the buquet whatever. Again, this doesn't
really have any kind of enforcement mechanism, very symbolic, but
(13:23):
given the House passed a similar bill like earlier this month,
it does at least show the White House that Congress
won't just fall in line unless your Senator Bill Cassidy, who, first.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Of all, he's on his way.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
He's one of these people who's on their way out
because Trump just backed his primary opponent and that person won,
and Cassie's like, I'm not gonna get bullied, and he
voted for this. Then Trump lost his mind on him
and went off on him, and then he came back
and he's like, Okay, I'm actually changing my vote.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Ummm, so then the wait you can do that?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Well, they took another vote, and they he was like, actually,
we need to take another vote on this. This is
where I'm at. And it's interesting because Bill Cassidy was
one of the few Republicans that joined Democrats. You know,
there was one Democrat that didn't vote for the War
Powers Resolution to join the GP.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
You want to guess who that could have been.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
You know, fucking car heart, hoodie wearing fuck bag would
have that.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Could have been anyway.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
And so yeah, they got the on paper now that
this resolution didn't pass. So Trump's like, wow, this is
a this is a real this is this puts Iran
on notice. It's like that you had a fucking tantrum
and they changed the the vote to something on a
bill that had no whatever.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Dude.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
So he also stepped on his own mushroom yesterday too
when he refused to sign a fucking affordable housing bill
that passed with bipartisan support, you know, because affordable housing
is like a huge issue. Wow, Because he was like,
rich people are gonna like they've no, we can't do
this to them.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
People got their houses now, we can't just make that
stuff cheap.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
No, no, no, no, no, no, that's fair. Really, the
broad strokes of it was he wants he wants this
the House to like basically, he just wants Congress and
nuke the filibuster and passed the voter Suppression Save Act.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Is what it all boiled down to.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Like he said, it was like he gave all these
other reasons, but really he's like, no, I don't want
this until we we signed the voting cheating bill right right,
Which is so wacky because a you're gonna ship why like,
if you're worried about mid terms, why ship on a
bill that your party can actually somewhat point to as
(15:44):
like a net positive because oh right, because you're a narcissistant.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Yeah, he he wants the reason for winning to be
his idea. He wants it to be his I want
to save act and we can cheat and do the
thing well.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
But it's weirder too because it's like he doesn't it's
like the a fort Like obviously Republicans are like, what
the fuck what is he doing? Like we got this
thing passed because we kept saying we need something to
be able to campaign on that we're doing something about affordability,
like the thing right now that we're getting killed in
in terms of support, and so saying fuck all and
(16:16):
we need to steal this thing is one of the
most backwards idea because like he knows affordability is tanking popularity,
but he acts like it isn't a problem because then
he would have to acknowledge that he could be doing more.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
So then the solution is to cheat.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
But he doesn't want to call it cheating, but he
knows that's what it is, right.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
But I think he's not interested in winning elections at
this point, like be on political merits, right, he just win.
He just wants to win by cheating, like that's he's
fucked win voters over. So you know, he's just like, yeah, no, none,
(16:55):
none of this matters if they're actually counting vote.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
But then the problem is too the way this actor
is worded, Like you know, this voter suppression bill, there's
like some of the provisions in that, like it would
some of the voter ide stuff is so strict that
it would almost be like the only thing you could
bring is like a fucking passport to vote. Yeah, and
then like that's not gonna help your fucking voters, dude.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
It'll just like make it so like twenty like a
couple dozen people vote.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
Yeah, like fourteen Democrats swing every election because they had
a fucking passport. It's like, anyway, not even that is
well thought out, because I think this has been told
to Trump many times. It's like, we don't need to like,
if we can just get a couple of things going,
maybe we can win on the merits.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I know you probably won't, but here they are.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah, And he's also you know, he has the most
important thing to him is the election that he lost
to Biden, and so he just wants to fix that
to go back and win that election.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Gotta win, gotta win.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Anyways, let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll
talk about things that aren't Trump. We'll be right back.
And we're back.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
We're back.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And I told you we weren't going to talk about Trump.
So Pete hegg Seth.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Ah yeah, Washington.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Young Washington himself. I don't like his legs, Miles. I
don't like the legs on Pete egg Seth, Washington doing
him try and bench press, looking like a muppet bench pressing.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
He breaks his femur somehow, Oh fuck.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
So back in April, he announced that the US military
would no longer require the annual flu vaccine for troops
aka American warriors. How yeah, he said it was the
flu shot rules are absurd, overreaching mandates that only weaken
our war fighting capabilities somehow, Like, I don't weaken What's
(18:57):
what's weak about preventing an illness?
Speaker 1 (19:00):
What does he think? Like?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I can't even understand where like he thinks he's coming
from on this.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
The only way this makes sense is if the flu
actually gives you superpowers when you have the flu, right, in.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
Which case you're like, yeah, but no, we want everybody
with the flu. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
Experts have pointed out in the understatement of the year
that Hegseth's decision was a serious lapse in judgment that
would make people sick and weaken the military's case away.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
A guy with whiskey demons and compromised judgment.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Okay, I think this guy's got I'm gonna say it.
I think his judgment is not great on this one.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Go.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
So uh, the Army, Navy, and Air Force have so
that happened in April. It recently seems as though the Army, Navy,
and Air Force have quietly started requiring flu shots for
basic trainees again, and in case the America, because yes,
they've decided, did they hate Oh wait, no, there's a
(20:02):
massive flu outbreak in the Air Force.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Right now, oh right, right, right right, Well, just because
you weren't taking the flu vaccine.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Right about forty of new trainees at Joint Base San
Antonio had flu vaccination, so sixty percent didn't, and a
June outbreak began right away. So far, two and twenty
two recruits have gotten sick for were hospitalized. One person's died,
(20:31):
although unclear if the cause of death was flu or not,
but it was a cause of.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Death was not enough flu. It is not enough. Sp
I was going to say, this guy's fucking so stupid.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Like it's one of the most it's just so again,
it makes sense because these people have no there's no
foresight to anything. It's purely just like the idea of
destroying whatever they see as the status quo that they
don't like anymore and being like, and that's good once
you de stable lies things because that's not there, rather
being like, what happens if I kick out this structural
(21:05):
support post?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Right? Yeah? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
It's like they love saying fuck around and find out,
but like fuck around implies a certain uh you know,
you shouldn't say quad like a certain like I don't know,
like fun to it, like we're throwing caution to the wind.
This is like this isn't even fucking around. It's like
pressing the button labeled this will cause a flu outbreak
(21:28):
that all the experts about the flu say will cause
a flu outbreak, and then finding out that it causes
a flu outbreak, it's like, yeah, no, it's so childish.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
It's like childish rebellion where it's like you're gonna burn
your hand if you touch that yes, uh huh.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah watch this front, Yeah, says I bet their Jenga
strategy is crazy imagining Jingo with this motherfucker. Yeah no,
it's He also said that this is crazy that they're
not preventing against the flu for a bunch of people who, uh,
their full time job is shouting into each other's mouths.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hey, good, good good.
It's good to have the place where I feel, like,
like the Space Force, Air Force, like a lot of
pilots all sort.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Of end up in that same uh that the.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
The same air Force base. So it's like you're like
fucking over multiple branches like at the same time by
having them all there and being like, yeah, sixty percent
of the people who are just going raw no vaccine.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
That's crazy that that many people aren't doing the aren't
doing the flu shots. I mean, I guess that's probably
not that far from general population numbers.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
But go get your flu shots, y'all.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
It's you're not protecting yourself, you're protecting anybody who's older
who you come into contact with.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
I remember, it wasn't until like we started doing this show,
was when I started regularly getting my flu shot.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, like in twenties or prior, And once you think.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
About it, you're like, oh, yeah, this is It's not
it's like throwing caution to the wind for yourself. It's
like throwing caution to the wind for other children and
the elderly.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Yeah, exactly, other people who are immunal compromise because the
longest time, like I never get the flu.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
Why the fuck do I need the flu vaccine? I
never done.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
I'm like in my twenties, I'm good over here.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
It's like it's just weird.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Like I'll go to like a party and then everyone
around me gets it after.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
It's weird.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
I don't know, maybe I got some sick ass jeans,
but yeah, yeah, you gotta keep each other safe. But
I guess Mary, I like that, even just for the
Air Force, like you know, like the military about keeping
America safe. They don't even want to keep themselves fucking
safe from anything.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
But it's weak, Bro.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Only you terrified of needles.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
That was like my cousin when he said with condoms,
like when he was in college, he was like, bro,
not He's like he's like, if you worry about shit,
you're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
Something that's definitely true.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
And I'm like, bro, you are fit to be this
secondcretary of defense with that kind of mindset, that shit
STDs come from worrying about STDs. I mean, that is
the most nineteen year old ship my cousin said at
the time. He's he he's a responsible mind over the body.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Bro.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Yeah, but he definitely I lured that over him all
the time, Like, bro, whenever he's like shows his intelligence. Now,
I'm like, you know, you used to say some dumb
fucking shit, right, they.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Must hate to see you coming.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Should we talk about nark sucker nerd oh Man, Dude,
what's going on? Why is everybody hating on my man's.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
His idea because his ideas fucking suck.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
He's not good at ideas anymore. I mean, I don't
know a lot, Like a lot of the headlines recently
was like I think it was one of the one
of someone in the c suite at Meta was like, dude,
this is the lowest morale has been I think, like
ever or one of the lowest times it's ever been
at the company, just generally with the state of things.
They said, the last time it was as bad was
when the Cambridge Analytica scandal came out, or not scared,
(25:04):
just like it was known to people, what how Facebook
was collecting our psychographic data, and then it could be
packaged to you know, manipulate people, like through.
Speaker 1 (25:14):
Social media posts and things like that.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
It feels like to average a story a month that
is just like, oh, they had all the evidence. Like
it's like, you know, tobacco executive caliber just being like, oh,
look at these graphs of what it says our product
does to people. How do we cover that up and
keep doing it?
Speaker 3 (25:35):
So based on this like line just keep going up.
When we're saying like this is kind of like the
the fallout from our product. What's happening like further down
the graph that we can't see. Does it go down eventually?
Speaker 1 (25:46):
No, it keeps going.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Up, keeps going up forever. The cool thing about the line.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
Oh okay, cool, well yeah, there's also like stuff about
like they're like they're going to stop their employee surveillance program.
But it just feels like he's stopped innovating and just
been chasing the fucking dragon to keep up with the
tech world. And I think ever since the Metaverse, he's
been dabbling in like AI many other things, not very successfully.
Even though the car the commercials are like or even
(26:12):
when you're on Instagram, like do you want.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
To use AI? AI? No? No, I'm hey, can we
offer you some AI?
Speaker 4 (26:19):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I'm just trying to send someone a discord link in
a in a DM. Man, the fuck do I need
AI for?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Just on Chapo talking about how like AI is now
transitioning to this model of like tokens where they're going
to be like start trying to charge people for AI
for the thing that like people have been kind of
using up to this point, and like their whole their
whole case is like built on like things like Uber
where and uh, Amazon Web Service, where like they spent
(26:49):
a lot of money in the beginning to uh, you know,
build something that then people became reliant on, and they
just like haven't bothered to build something people became reliant
on because they spent all that money. It's like way
more than any other product in history, Like way more
than Amazon Web Service, way more than Uber then Uber.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Merely being like download this app and you drive your
own fucking car. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Now it's just they they've like spent all this money
to be like the future is amazing, and then they
don't have anything to show for it, and they're already
at the point where they're like, we're gonna have to
start charging people for this thing that they already don't
use or like that much. Yeah, and we like have
(27:33):
to force people like that is one of the things
that people The moral problem at Facebook and a lot
of tech companies is that the employees are being forced
to use AI and it's.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Just like, no, it's extent that.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
Well a lot of people who like like do a
job well before AI and like this is making it
harder for me. Yeah, but yeah, like the other apps,
they did the right thing. They had like a drug
dealer's perspective, right, Like usually have you seen a movie
about hustling, Bro, you let the fiends get the first
one for.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Free, right, and then they're like, well I fucking need that.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
And then they come like, oh you're hooked now, Okay,
here are the prices now, because I have you addicted
to my substance.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
There. Now there's Mike you want good enough? You want
to eat a rat shit pie? Bro? All right, well
it's fifty bucks for a bite.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Right on all that rat shit we've been giving you
for free. Yeah, kind of my boss said, I was
supposed to be eating it, but I've just like kind
of been pretending to that helpful. It makes me feel sick.
Oh yeah, well now it's fifty bucks.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Oh boom, what's up, bro, I'll see you in Dubai baby.
All right, Well, anyway, sucker Nerd has a new new idea. Okay,
something fucking genius, something cutting edge.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
I'm just gonna read this excerpt.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
Mister Zuckerberg, the chief executive of Meta, recently dispatched a
small team at his company to rate a smartphone app
similar to Polymarket and Calshi. Okay to employees, said yeah,
users would not wage your money, oh new idea, and
the app would probably would probably rely on a video
game like points system instead, though the company had not
(29:17):
ruled out the eventual use of real money.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Betty, Jesus, so you're coming up with just baby Calshi?
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah that is even that's like worse
when you're you're just being like, what about a shittier
version of another thing? Is where the Meta ideation is
(29:40):
right now, it's.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
His career since the social network has really validated the
Winklevoss Twins like that he's just a person who like
takes people's ideas and like he got he got one
good one when he was at a Harpers book. Yeah,
he got the good one at that when he was
did the Facebook. But since then he's he came out
(30:07):
he was like, all right, I got I got the
next one, guys, And it was fucking a cartoon version
of yourself floating around in a in a space not
doing his.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Career is like Ja Rules and then like around the
meta versus when fifty started faughing with Ja Rule completely
into jar Rule's career, so like meta like just like.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
With Ja Rule, he was like Halla, Halla, and he's
like doing his songs with.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
J Low and was like, ah, are you really And
then once fifty cent was like I'm exposing you.
Speaker 1 (30:38):
You're a fucking herb, his stock went down.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
In this case, he himself is fifty cent. Also, he's
no one exposing himself.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
He created fifty cent, so he's Jo Rull who then
created fifty cent in a lab to then own him
with his own idea and now he can't get Yeah,
well he can't get back up, so I don't know, man, Good.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Luck, good luck, sir. We're all rooting for you. Those
are some of the things that are trending on this Thursday,
June twenty fifth. We are back tomorrow with a whole
ass episode of the show. Until then, be kind to
each other, be hind to yourself, get your vaccines while

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Navil air force in your navel, in your navel, remind
you that fucking scene the Matrix are giving us shots in.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
Our asses again. I think I think that's.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
That would get me, like what because then you also
don't have to look at it, you know, and also
there's like a little cake.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Hey, do you mind if I look back at it?
Speaker 2 (31:46):
What do you do it?
