Speaker 1 (00:02):
So, but Brian, do you do you recommend Flight Risk?
I mean, it's funny just you showing me that clip.
I'm kind of want to know more, but I also
feel like I saw the best part, like you just know.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
No, there's there's more.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
But the thing about Flight Risk is it's a lean
ninety and it's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
That it wies by pardon like twenty minutes.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Yeah, anything where I'm like, oh.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It is hour thirty, Okay, I can do this, Like
I rarely shut off a ninety minute movie.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
No, no, no, That's why I like I watched like
Hallmark Christmas movie because they're like an hour and fifteen, but.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
It's too short and it's too dumb to be like
too offended by it.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Right.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
I did not know that it was a screwball con
like I guess I kind of had the sense that
it was a slapstick comedy from his hair falling off,
but like the way way trailers pitched, it was, yeah,
that it was just a thing like that, that it
was a thriller and it's not straight up a dude
just style violence comedy.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I did not think there would be a titty twister.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
The titty Twister killed them, Like, what do you think.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Of our lord whatever world we are in now that
we're doing? All right, titty twister.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
As he reveals that he doesn't get paid to be
a hit man, he just does it for free, for
the free opportunity to give people titty twisters.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
And I'm wondering if that line was I can't tell
if that was improved.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I can't tell if the tns twister line was improved.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Twister in the script, because it's hard for me to
imagine that being in a script. It's so stupid. All right, ye,
sitty twister.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Yeah, I didn't see it come during the UH during
the Flight Risk Best Original Screenplay montage, Like they didn't
show that part, so it was hard.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I can't picture that table read at all.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this Monday morning week
trend edition of Daily Yes Yes, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Da or da da da.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yes, because we are I don't know if you saw
there's thing at the Kremlin news like now that Russia
and the United States foreign policy goals have aligned, and
I'm like, wow, what a way to put that? Yeah, okay, anyway.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Just gravitationally, it just happened as a matter of course,
there is nothing offward or pushy happening. Yeah, sometimes weird
you know, no weird jerking of the steering wheel to
one side that doesn't really make sense for any reason
that anybody can tell.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I think it's like, yeah, Republicans will be like, well,
you know, broken clocks right twice a day. That's kind
of the overlap you're seeing versus now. It's like, no,
the watch is said to the exact same time, like
at the everything it's the witch actually the same.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
It's they're not broken.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
They actually don't need watches because he just tells us
what time it is. You just call him and he tells.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Like metaphorically, he's like, oh, what's up home, you know
what time it is? Like Vladimir I do.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Putin does say that all the time. What's up, homie?
You know, you know what time it is? Jack that
over there is Miles.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
And this is the episode where we tell you all
the things that we're trending from Friday through Monday morning.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
But first we like to get to know you a
little bit better.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Let you get to know us a little bit better
by telling you stuff we think is underrated, stuff we
think is overrated. We like to ask our guests throughout
the week what they think is underrated overrated?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
This is where we get a chance saying.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Yeah, yeah, and you know what, I'm just going to
go through all the overrated and underrated from our guests
from the past week and talk about why they're wrong. Now, Miles,
what is something you think is under rated?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Oh? Man?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Couple things first. One pretty obviously, but not price gouging.
Huh pretty, I think a pretty solid business model or
just you know, for if we live like in a
time where everyone's like, what a consumer goodwill?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
What do we have consumer confidence? Yeah? Stop just fucking
over charging people. I say this because I went to
this Japanese market in La I bought a dozen organic eggs.
You know how much? I got a dozen organic eggs
for at least.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Forty five dollars five ninety nine What five dollars ninety
nine cents is what I walked out of this Japanese mark.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Weird because you're telling.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
The story like it just happened and not like it
happened in nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah. When I when I.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Were twelve years old, when I was no, I couldn't.
I thought I was fucking stealing something. When I saw that,
I was like, no.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Bro, did they did?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
They fucking fuck up their handwriting? And then I asked
one of the people, I said, it's five ninety nine.
They're like, yeah, just just you can only take pick
up the hand.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I put it.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I was so fucked up, like you know, like you're
just so conditioned as a consumed like yeah, they're fucking
me again that you see it, and then you're like,
I'm not being fucked or I'm being fucked gently.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, I don't know. So anyway, that was such a thing.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
And then like I told everybody's like, yo, you need
to get down to the Nigia market over here. I
saw tell bro they got a fucking they got the
ships for five ninety nine. So that was fantastic. The
other thing I'll say underrated a petty knife. Petty knife
is a small sort of like a small knife you'd use,
much smaller than like your kitchen knife. Yeah, it's like
a pairing knife basically, it's like a utility knife. But
(05:49):
it so I recently, my cousin got back from Japan
and you know, my house.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Burned down, so I lost I lost all my knives.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
And I had a couple of Japanese concept I was
very like, very connected to. He like replaced all my
knives for me. It was very very sweet, and but
I got like a new petty knife. This shit is
so fucking sharp that I'm like using I'm like using
it more than like my traditional kitchen knife because it
(06:20):
just you get such control with it. I'm peeling fucking
fruit for the geist child, I'm peeling for everything. I'm
cutting cheese, I'm deboning fucking chicken. Anyway, it's very nice.
I think all that to say, it's probably just a
sharp ass knife really is the best thing.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
But a petty knife is great because it's easy to control.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Small sharp, small sharp, best cheese knife you could use.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It's just so fucking solid.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
So you know, I just want to say, people at
the very least are we talking on that blade like
finger were talking like four and like five inches five inches.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, it's not like a fox cut or no, no, no no,
but it's enough that it's like if someone said, hey,
I'm gonna chop this like cabbage up you like with
this fucking tiny thing, Like.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
No, but if you're like, hey, I'm gonna slice a
tomato or whatever, cut stuff up smaller, perfect, perfect.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Okay, got it.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
I'm just picturing John Boyce's character from Anaconda coming in
and be like, I'll cut you up real nice.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
They don't buy.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
And I can do that machine because he's doing Yeah
it's John.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, you're doing a white guy doing doing. We don't
even know that. Yeah, yeah, exactly, I can do Radagan.
We have these specific white people that act as conduits
to do a problematic without being problematic. That's right, all right?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Uh, my underrated is wind?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Just by me.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I've never once h checked the weather report for wind. Uh,
and then it just uh well, first of all, did
just burn down entire chunks of Los Angeles earlier this year.
I don't know if you heard about that, Miles Wins
while you were out for some reason.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I don't. I don't know what you were up to, bros.
Missed the crazy news story.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
But and then even then, like people had a hard
time blaming the wind, like Henry Winkler and Whitney Cummings
had to make up an arsonist god the wind.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I just think I was Whitney Cummings anyway, but God,
damn Phonsie. Unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Yeah, for you. I know, we're all for you, Phonsie.
Hopefully he comes back. Hopefully he's like, sorry, guys, that
got away.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
That's what that's what millions do to you.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah, it's just like, you know, he's with a bunch
of people in the Palisades probably who lost their you know,
five million dollar homes and is uh they have theories.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I lost my only home in the Palisades. I have
five in the state, but Palisades home is my own.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I lost my Palisades home. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I think it's like but I think I suffer from
the same thing where wind is just hard for me
to plan for. I'm just like never expecting it. I'm
never checking for it. Suddenly the air is like twenty
degrees colder than I was expecting it to be. My
kids are shivering, my hat is flying away.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Your two pay is blowing off like it always blows away,
which is kind of fun. Yeah, I do like the
comedic yeah, facing after.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
It down the street.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Also, I'm gonna say, I don't know, I'm assuming it's
hard to add like fake wind in a movie. Maybe not,
but like I feel like it should be used more often.
It's a great atmospheric Like movies love to use the
rain to set a mood. But like there's this movie
Volvaire that I think is the one that Penelope Cruise
(09:56):
won an oscar for.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
But it like takes place in a a.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Constantly windy town and it like just has these like
poetic meditations on like the wind, like legends that like
the wind drives you mad when you live there, and
there's just this like constant sound and movement and it's
just like a constant ghost howling down the streets of
your town. Yeah and then uh and yeah, then it
(10:21):
just starts. It causes things to just start flying around
that never flew around before. It's like someone just comes
along and shakes your city like a snow globe, and
then you get to like pick everything up. Earthquake last night, Yeah,
oh yeah, speaking of getting shook in like a fucking
snow globe.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
There's just like one big shake. It was like it dropped.
It was one of those droppers where yeah, yeah, and
then a little Rocky the at the center North Hollywood, California,
Baby yeah, coming for you. Man. It's I know, part
of me was like, what the fuck.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Leave me alone, me alone, mileshows what you think is overrated?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Overrated.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
This ties into the Oscars, but the old way of
presenting like awards, traditional awards show presentation, like when presenters.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Go up to give out the award.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
This is like one thing that I really liked about
the Oscars was the way they like personalized the presenters
connections to the nominees.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Was like oh yeah with Robert Downey Junior.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah, or just like even when like the costume when
it was time for costume design, each person that was
in the film sort of like was giving their flowers
to the person that like design the costumes or like
other people just giving it up to like other direct
you know, like it was just it felt like so
much better than just sort of like the art of
editing is known as a block and like there still
(11:47):
was some of that, but to have like then sort
of couple that with people saying like I was so
great to work with you, like your dedication, it just
gives it a nice personal touch that it feels almost
like oh shit, like yeah, cool, you're It's nice to
see other people acknowledge their contribution even before an award
is given. I think that was just a very nice
(12:08):
touch to it because it it almost came off genuine
and I am off like their people, celebrities, their people too. Yeah,
So I was like, okay, cool, this made it a
little more interesting because like you're just kind of you
kind of.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Build the skill of.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Tuning out like this sort of kind of like very
dry boiler plate kind of like and now.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
To give the award, here are the nominees.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Part you're just kind of like you just basically black
out until they open the envelope to announce it, right,
Whereas this one gave you a little bit more of
a reason to listen.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
So I thought, you know what, that's good, nice touch.
I'll give you that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
And then the ones that weren't that I felt like,
yeah by comparison because like I can't read the prompter.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Oh yeah, well, like it was great one.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's like and now Andrew Garfield will go up to
like just give his flowers to a sort of confused
Goldie Hawn, who wasn't sure that this was like her.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Moment she was. She was like being so humble. She
was like, oh, thank you, honey, Well let's keep this movie.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
He's like, no, I have more yeah, yeah, And she
was like oh okay again, Like I felt like that
was the overall theme that was like emphasizing the humanity
of people, like, hey were people.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
You know, my mom loved you, she was you were
part of her. My mom was really into you because
you know old and anyways, I know, you love hearing
stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
The whole Goldie Han thing made me think about how
like I used to just watch like all these like
retrospective TV shows, Like I remember I knew Goldiehans and movies,
and then I, like, as a twelve year old, found
out about Laughing and like she had this whole comedic
career and she's like held up as like a great
comedic performer that I was just like, I don't know.
(13:48):
I mean, I know he from like Bird on a
Wire like whatever movie she was in in the eighties
like stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, But then what was the thing Nixon said on Laughing?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Like I was just trying to remember, Like I was like, there,
I know, there's a famous like Nixon line in Laughing
where they had Nixon as a guest on Laughing.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah. Yeah, like Lauren michael Y sock it to me,
That's what it was. Sock it to me. And again
this is a product of me watching like weird VH.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
One shows that it then made me think, are younger
people gonna give a fuck about like shit that we
remember from the nineties and eighties the way somehow I'm like, yeah, laughing,
remember that Nixon moment from laughing in the sixties seven?
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Right, I don't feel like I knew that laughing existed
for most of my life, Like I was not watching
the retrospectives. I did not know that Goldie Hawn was like, uh,
you know, a young ingenue on this like basically it
was like another SNL SNL competitor that she was like
the star of the breakout star of and then like
(14:53):
went and started to be in movies and immediately like
got nominated or won an oscar with them like a
couple of years and couple of movie rules. But yeah,
I'm actually reading this Lorne Michael's biography, and it's like
interested like talked about that that early stuff and those
early tons and a lot of the shit is not
(15:14):
that funny in the early days, but comes around. I'm assuming,
all right, sticking with the oscars, my overrated I would
say is like, all right, did.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
You watch Kieran Culkin's acceptance speech.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I was in the room when it happened, and then
I just wasn't interested in what he was saying. So
I know you had mentioned something earlier, and I was like, yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
I think, like I find him charming, like you, he's
like you want to love him and hate him, like
it's the whole thing with his character on succession. But
then like he hates himself already, so he's sort of
just being like, ah, well, he took care of that part,
so I just like him, like okay. So he got up,
gave a speech, and then like at the end, was like,
all right, so there's my wife, jazz uh and like
(16:01):
I told her, if I want an Emmy, she would
give me a third baby, and I want an Emmy
and she was like, no, I'm not going to do that,
but if you went an Oscar, I'll give you a fourth.
And he was like, well, now I want an Oscar,
so let's let's get to fucking essentially.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
And I I get that.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
It was like tongue in cheek and he may not
be expecting her to have a baby, but the people
who meet her for the first time for the next
ten years of her life. Are sure going to be
asking about it?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
It just you know what, maybe guys on you owe him? Right?
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Just a weird And it also just felt like a
weird like tread wife as child bearing reward figure. Yeah
sure for like man doing good job at work paradigm.
It just felt felt a little like, I don't know,
a handmaid's tail style birthing contract and not that like
that's the energy he was giving and people like people
(17:00):
seem to be like this was one of the highlights.
It was like such a cute human moment. But I
just don't felt it.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Even as like a joke to be like you owe me,
you owe me a child me? What do you what
do you like? King Richard? What the fuck is this ship?
Like you owe me? Where are my heirs? And I
get maybe being like but he doesn't mean it, so
it's fine.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I'm like, Okay, it's kind of like the same way
like the Office was getting away with like racist jokes
by being well, he's dumb, so it's like, wow, that bad. Okay,
we're making we're laughing at it. But as people gain
a little more perspective.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Like it's like the funniest fucking thing.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
But whatever, you know, I hope, I hope he has
a contract. This is why you can't just be out
here making fucking agreements based on how many awards you win.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
You should your serious contract with your significant other.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I've saying that from day one.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Exactly under penalty of death. After watching some of those
Stephen Crowder household ring videos, I realized that you need, yeah,
shit locked up.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
That's where it's It's like you're flying too.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Close to gross real shit, I think is the thing, right?
But whatever, I mean, Well, it's funny because, as you
said that, the thing I was focused on the whole
time was Jeremy Strong because.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
He didn't this motherfucker's probably dying inside.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
And I remember, right after they cut away from Kieran
Colkin leaving the stage, they showed Jeremy Strong.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
And it was funny. My dad was was over too.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
We were watching and we both went, oh.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
You're not happy, and then her Magsy's like, what we're like, yo.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Jeremy Strong looked fucking upset, and I rewound it and
ro like, he just looks like he's like looking off.
I'm like, no, no, you can see the hurt in
his eyes. He looked he is still processing that loss.
But I think that just me projecting more shit onto
Jeremy Strong than I probably should have.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
There's also the songwriter who has been nominale It did
like so many times, Diane Warren. I think, is that
that's not her name? Diane Warren?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Is it okay? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:08):
She she had a tough like accepting that she lost face.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Experience that got you gotta feel for him. It's tough gig.
Just like.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
You can kind of like no, no, like overt like
what the fuck face, but like just you can kind
of see the blood drained from her face a little bit.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah, yeah, he shout out to her. She's from the valley.
There you go.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back
and we'll we'll talk about that uh Trump Zelensky meeting,
the that that happened the end of last week, right
after we recorded our last episode.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, well, we'll be right back.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
And we're back. We're we're back, So I mean, yeah,
Tru Trump Zolensky, jd Vance the Vance.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Dance, Marjorie Taylor Green's boyfriend, Marjorie Taylor Green's boyfriend all
ganged up on, you know, wartime president Voldemir Zelenski.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Is that how you pronounce this vl? You about to
say voldemorre Voldemort Zelensky.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
But basically it was, you know, Zelensky came in the
press was set up and it felt like it was
it was a setup, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
They Trump and Vance were just like waiting for him
to say anything that they could just jump on. Zelenski
obviously was pushing back on their narrative that like the
whole war was his fault and uh that Russia was
good and can be trusted.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
They hold on, they invaded, They Russia invaded Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
You sound like you should be more grateful, is what
we're hearing.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I feel like a Henley in here full like but
you wear in like a suit.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Bruh, what's uh? You look really like district Like fuck it.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
They really like Trump did mention at the beginning. They
like were nagging him from the beginning. They're like, thank
you for getting dressed up for the occasion.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Moving along, but I think he's dressed beautifully.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
You look like shit, No, no, you're great. It's great,
You're beautiful. But the other comment like kind of dashed
off comment at the end was where he was like
closing the thing and he was like, I I'm assuming
this was really good television, which I think is just
like that is his instinct, like anybody who's like he's
got a great instinct for like deal making and negotiating,
(21:48):
and you know, I don't think so. I think his
instinct is for reality television. It's and like creating moments
that are going to make for good TV that he
would want to watch to.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Get a little youth to active you some ute vernacular,
some gen z verneki. He is a master of crashing out,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
He is that master of the crash out to make
very entertaining like public crashouts.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
That's what and that because that's what that was to
see this.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Weird like the bully and then the Bully's weird little
friend who JD.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Vance was like, yeah, get them, get them, get them, get.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Them Donald like that weird dynamic, and Zelynsky's in there
basically being like, so I'm fighting off an invading army.
You motherfuckers said you were gonna give me security assurances.
Now you're trying to get me to sign some fucking
weird ass minerals deal with no security security.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
No fucking security assurances. What the fuck do what do
I look like signing this ship right now? And what
who the fuck do you think you guys are thinking
you can put this shit in front of me and
think I'm like, oh my god, I love it, thank
you so much.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
They're like fighting for their fucking existence and this is
what's happening.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I can't. Like. It was very It was so hard
to watch because you're like, holy, just like the America
completely becoming like this other thing now just before everyone's eyes,
trying to be like you better watch out. Like when
it got to the boys, like you got to know
your you don't have a good hand, you don't have
good cards. You got to know your hand you've got.
(23:18):
I'm not playing a game, motherfucker. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
He's like, you know what you get your you're risking
World War three and you're risky world War three. Like
he just kept escalating rhetorically again because he just wants
to have It's just became this scene this like circus
on yeah yeah, and it's just the whole thing was
just very, very difficult to watch. And then the internet
(23:44):
with like you know, the Speed of Light just started
making all these fucking memes. You see the ones where
they were playing like stratigo or like whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
That other or whatever just by a door.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, it was just like ha ha ha, but no,
it is is kind of what's happening here.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Also, like for all the like Trump supposedly being a populist,
the popular opinion of Putin is pretty fucking unfavorable.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Like that that.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Seems to be one place where the real comfortable stepping
out of line with like popular opinion. Ninety percent of
Americans at least in twenty twenty three thought he was
extremely untrustworthy. Specifically, there's like a pull that says that
and I don't.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yeah, so I don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
It's not like this is coming from some popular grounds
well as with like all of his policies. Uh, it's
coming from somewhere else, I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, it's coming from Vladimir fucking Putin, dude.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Like it's so obvious that at this point it's like
the fucking news really needs to fucking wake the fuck up,
and this is crazy.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
That was the other like big takeaway is they were like, uh,
you know, Zelenski lost his cool and like that he
really fucked himself there and not yeah, just being what
and like, I also saw people being like and obviously
Trump is doing this because he thinks that Russia will
be a good ally against China and like making kind
(25:09):
of what rationalizations, Yeah, making rationalizations that don't really make
sense for his behavior.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Well, they try and do the thing.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Rather than like be a little bit giving people context
about how this completely goes against the order of things
or whatever, they try and do this thing where it's
like trying to understand where he's coming from with them, yes,
even if it makes no fucking sense, and they don't
even say, like, but that doesn't make any fucking sense
because X, Y and Z they don't do that shit.
(25:38):
They're just like this, I think this is what he's
thinking to again pretend like they're doing journalism, but also
just zero pushback in manufacturing consent. And again, this whole
meeting was supposed to be around this fucking deal that
was going to be made. The deal in this instance
was Ukraine would allow for like five hundred billion dollars
in rare earth metals to be extracted where they get
(25:59):
like a measly cut of profits in exchange again for
no fucking security assurances and not even a commitment to
having a.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Ceasefire, just none of that. It's like, give me that
and you'll be okay.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
How and again, this deal, of course, was untenable for
Zolenski because he wants fucking security assurances because he's fighting
invading army, and the deal is so unrealistic for two
really big points. A. Right, we haven't the five hundred
billion thing it's supposed to be like to repay all
the stuff we've given you. We haven't even given them
(26:32):
close to five hundred billion worth of arms.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Right, We're not even the biggest supporter of their military effort,
like they're Western European countries that have supported them more.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
The fact is we just dusted off some old shit
that we had, just old killing toys, and we say,
oh yeah, y'all could have them. And that five hundred
that amount that we say we're sending, No, that's for
us to buy shiny, new fucking kill toys. That's not
because here's the money. We're like, oh yeah, you could
have that, You could have that. You know what I'm
(27:04):
gonna replace. I'm gonna replace that Hi Mars system anyway
with some news there's some new shit out. I really
want that, So yeah, y'all could take that. That's how
like this transaction is working. So it's not like they're
on the hook for a half trillion dollars. Then would
the rare earth metals part. We don't even know if
there is enough rare earth metals in the ground in
Ukraine that would even total five hundred billion dollars? Like
(27:27):
that amount even baffles the commodities and geology expert community
who know about like, they're like, what is he like,
they're even from that perspective, what is he talking about?
This is a write up from like a commodities newsletter.
First of all, it says most estimates for twenty twenty
four stand at four billion to twelve and a half
billion globally in terms of sales of rare metals. The
(27:49):
global market right at the low end is four at
the high end twelve and a half. So it said
it would therefore be astonishing for Ukraine to conjure up
five hundred.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Billion dollars under a bill.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Then this other thing it is also this is again
from the same article. It is also notable that even
during the most recent rare earth metal price boom, which
ran from late twenty twenty to March of twenty twenty
two and saw exploration companies enthusiastically snap up and try
to develop new supply sources around the world.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
No one made a play for Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Right, that's even predating the war, right, Like, there's just
not it's just not something that's on the radar. So
I think again, Trump goes on to be like, well,
it's a great deal because his logic here is that
all the American commercial mining companies that would be in
Ukraine would act as a deterrent because Russia wouldn't dare
attack and risk harming Americans in Ukraine and risking war.
(28:40):
It's like, bro, they're not going to attack because they
got what they wanted through this dumb fucking deal.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
It's not because of the presence of it.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Like the America is not gonna do shit, So stop
pretending that that's the position America is gonna take. And
it just feels like terrible negotiating and like bad fascist
improv Like clearly Trump was told by Putin just fucking
makes it go away and make them weaker so I
can take my depleted army back home, and like we
can have some kind of a win here, and to
(29:07):
achieve the alienation of Zelensky, Trump goes for this weird
ass minerals deal that makes no sense and just ends
up having the effect of strengthening European alliances because after
that they're like, oh shit, yeah, you know, Zelensky went
to the UK and Starmar's like, bro, we gotta We're
gonna have to figure out how to do this shit
without the crash out crew in DC. And Trump can't
(29:30):
just announce okay bye by Ukraine because he needs the pretext,
no matter how flimsy, to not look like a Russian asset.
So his idea to create this pretext is just like
this untenable deal, So then he can be like, well,
I tried to help it, but he just wouldn't take
the deal, so therefore I need it.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Seems like they're like really just going along with that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
So again, if like if the improv suggestion from Putin
to Trump is this scene is about cut ties with Zelenski,
then Trump just started the improv scene by saying, let
me have sex.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
With all of your ghosts or else I never what
the fuck? What huh?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
But yeah, like you say, Washington Post rip fully to
that fucking place with these op eds they're putting out now,
it's like absurd.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, they just put out on op ed.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Zelensky must mend the breach with Trump or resign from
Mark A season, which I don't know. Is that like
an anagram for Lindsay Graham or is that? But yeah,
this should have been a backslapping, feel good meeting celebrating
the minerals deal. Unfortunately it was a terrible deal for Zelensky,
(30:40):
so he was not feeling good for some reason.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Who was a nie slapper because it was so fucking
absurd of a deal. Not a backslapper because we're gonna
feel good. Yeah, just says go, Like the this whole
like Mark Theeson I think is a bush.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I think a speech writer or something. He's from the era.
But like even him trying to act like this is good,
it's just so disorienting. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Anyway, the billionaire capture of our media has just led
to a fun toilet bowl ride down to hell for everyone.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Yeah, it's really wild as far as what people think,
Like I mentioned, there's been pulling that suggests that you know,
ninety percent of Americans for some reason find Vladimir Putin untrustworthy.
I don't know what their deal is, must be hangover
from the Cold War, just some other evidence that this
is not a popular position. So right after this where JD.
(31:36):
Vance was kind of the instigator. He was like the
first person. But first of all, you should thank our
president and wash his feet with your hair.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Okay, that's his thing.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
He give him gold, gifts of gold, and you know
he's not that into Franken CENSORR.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
But he was.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
He was so annoyed that, you know, Zelen Ski and
you know, putting up big, big dick energy in the room.
And then he Johnson off to a ski vacation with
his family in Vermont, and it did not go well.
Hundreds of protesters showed up to line the streets, some
(32:17):
with some pretty devastating signage such as vance skis and
jeans the worst thing you can do. I mean, I
play pickup ball in jean shorts.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
But that's just me. I guess you're not supposed to
ski in jeans. You want to show off your legs.
I got to show off them them you just saying
they look better and cutoffs.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Exactly got to show off the thighs, baby, but they
he even got hassled as he was skiing, as if
it were some common visiting dignitary.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Heuh had to be moved to an undisclosed location. But
one person really took him out but like almost ran
into him on the slopes, and another one called him
Putin's puppet on the mountain.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, so great.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
It looked like I've saw clips on Reddit of like
just like the cluster fuck. It look like having just
secret service and him skiing and like other people like
what like hating this guy.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
It just felt like a fucking nightmare.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
But I just love how again, like Fox and Friends,
the media comes to his defense.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
And they're like, bro, this should not be They should
leave him alone, you know, they should just like he's
with his family. Quote, I think his family should be
off limits, says the lady from Real World from fucking
forty years ago.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Thanks.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Also, skiing vacations are where like billionaire power broker like
clash with the blue collar ski workers and the like townies.
That's what they taught us anything, This is exactly where
this should be happening.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, I'm surprised jd answers so like into that kind
of media would know.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
It's like, the last place I need to go is
a ski resort. They're gonna prank me.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
I mean, there were the strikes earlier this year. It's
a hotbed of class tension. So yeah, shit, perfect place
for him to go immediately after, you know, pissing off
the American people with a wildly unpopular take.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Well's always yeah, there's I always see these like sort
of screen caps of like comment sections, and half seem real,
the other half seemed like bots. But there are like
definitely a group of confused boomer conservatives who are like, nah,
I'm pretty sure I was raised to hate everything Russian
from birth.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Is what is this?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
And I don't understand what what we get out of it?
It's like yeah, yeah, explain it, Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Also, there was a blind item that suggested that again
you know, blind item, no way to corroborate this as
of yet, similar to the couch fucking it just fits,
you know, just fits his personality, his energy always what
he tried to a chairlift, He tried to fuck it. No,
somebody said I skied at sugar Bush in Vermont today.
(35:17):
Guess who is here? None other than are Steven Vice
president jd Vance, half of Central Vermont, was out in
the streets protesting him. It was hilarious. The loser couldn't
even get off the chairlift. He went around the bowl
wheel and they had to shut it down so secret
Service could get him off the chair. I'm not kidding,
true story. Fucking Jerry of the Day. I don't even
(35:39):
know what Jerry means.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Dude, that's like a pejorative nickname for people who don't
belong people, yeah, who.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Aren't like real skiers, like they were jeans and ski.
There's a very big Instagram account that just shows like
ski fails like that. I think it's called Jerry of
the Day.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
But honestly, misinformation about jd Vance is louds harmless misinforma ever.
So yeah, he I think we need to add to that.
It's because he tried to have sex with you.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
He was trying to fuck the chairlift as he was
going up. It is very couch adjacent, you know, it's
they call it a chairlift, but it's more like a
metal couch.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
But yeah, three across, you know. Yeah, all right, let's
let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
We'll talk anything we missed on the oscars up top.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
We'll be right back and we're back. We're back.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
By the way, Brian was pointing us to a Reddit thread.
Brian the Editor was pointing us to the reddit thread
that this just seems anecdotally, it seems like this Zelensky
stuff is unpopular. I mean it, like it's a good
point that the Ukraine War effort, Ukrainian War effort was
like extremely popular for probably like it goes with the
(36:57):
grain of white supremacy in America. You know, it's like
white people being like those people look just like me.
Like that's so yeah, it's it'll be interesting to see
how Trump supporters respond to this whole thing going going
side with m Yeah, although it is what a lot
(37:18):
a lot of the shit he does is like it
is what the Democratic Party has been doing and just
all American policy has been doing. He just does it
like real, uh, openly and stupidly.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Well, because I think there's most Americans are kind of
diluted into thinking we're still trying to do good right,
where like, bro, we're not trying to do that, bro,
what we're talking about it And I mean not to
say that like like get real everyone, it's been this
bad forever. But like that's sort of like the difference
is sort of not even trying to hide this self dealing.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Not even trying to play politics in any in any way.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Guys, just hide the self dealing a little bit, right,
and we'll go along with anything, all right?
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Oscars watched them out of out of one eye while
doing other stuff.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
But would you happen? Yeah, my eyes are fucked now
just watching that Sixers win over the Warriors on loop.
Oh my god, man.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
Just when I want they lost, like ten in a row,
shut down and be for the year nine nine in
a row shut down and b for the year.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
It's time.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
It's losing time, baby, It's time to lose the rest
of our games and just you know, shut it down,
try and get the best draft pick we can in
the seventy. Six Ers, of course win, just when they
need to start focusing on losing. Weird weird league fans
who people who aren't fans of the NBA probably like,
what are well adjusted you want your team?
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah? Or well adjusted?
Speaker 1 (38:50):
I mean like I went to I went like I
don't care about nothing, and now I'm like, yeah, bro,
we're winning the fucking championship this year. Yeah, just fucking
you like it. I don't care how many people get injured. No,
we're not, but anyway I want to see. I did
feel like a winner, though, because I famously only saw
one movie that was in contention for awards, and guess
what it was fucking Honora. So I felt like so
(39:11):
in tune with the awards because I.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
I thought that I didn't know The Brutalist was about
brutalist architecture.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
He thought it was just about a guy who is mean.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
I just thought I didn't read a single word. I
saw like an emaciated Adrian Brody. I said, I don't
know what some sad Eastern European ship. I don't know
what the fuck they're talking about. This is kind of
where I went with it. But yeah, when was the
last time a fucking guy what's the guys named Dave Foster?
Speaker 2 (39:40):
What's his name? Dave Sean Baker, Sean.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Dave Foster, the fucking composer, the that because he went
Best Screenplay, Editing Director, Best Picture. He he he sort
of won four out of the five awards that they
won that single handed, when not saying one of the.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Four like big ones that he was nominated for. It's
never really happened before Disney has won more Oscars in
a single year.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
But that was like not it wasn't like.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best that just.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Seems wild to get Screenplay, Editor, Director, Like on the
individual merits, I was like, that's pretty impressive.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
I mean they made a point of emphasizing this when
they won. But like this movie had a budget of
six million dollars, Like it was a pretty small like
that's how you get somebody who's like doing all those things,
I think largely, although I think I think Christopher Nolan
also like does a lot of the shit. But yeah, yeah, sure, sure, yeah, Sodaberg,
I think it is kind of like that. But had
(40:46):
a budget of six million dollars. Four of the last
five winners had like really low budgets. Nomadland, Coda, Everything
everywhere all at once, now Anora. That's like eighty percent
of the last five years best picture winners. You know,
obviously Oppenheimer was a huge movie that destroyed last year's Oscars,
But like, I don't know, we talked about this as
(41:08):
like Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
And like corporate thinking.
Speaker 4 (41:12):
Netflix COVID a lot of different things like kind of
conspired to fuck up studio movies, and like we were
like there's probably a new wave of like independent movies
coming and that at least seems to be happening.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
If you look at like who's who's winning Best Picture.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Well that's where like you'd hope the corporate thinking goes
hold on, dude, like these like weird stories and I
call them weird because they're not based on IP that
we own, right, It's like.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Weird little stories are coming up. People like those better.
So I guess maybe we just do more of those.
And they're cheaper, so maybe we just make a fuck
ton of these. I don't Yeah, maybe not, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
The only real IP movies that were like close to
winning were obviously Dune, Wicked, and then Conclave, which optioned
the the Pope Cinematic Universe Anymore did not win was
expected to win. I think was like one of the
biggest favorites heading in to the night like that category
was basically seen as a as a.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
Lock damn that she looked a little crust fallen. Yeah
when they showed after, like Mikey Madison had accepted also
from the Valley. Shoutowt Mikey Madison, shout out the Valley.
The Valley is just yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
We're just the people on the fucking fringe brow. We're
not the fucking West Side, but guess what we're out here.
I remember that her Majesty was like, is that her boyfriend?
Speaker 2 (42:31):
I was like, no, that's shit. They look related.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
And then when she got her the redhead, she was with, yeah,
and she's like my twin brother, Miles.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
I was like, oh, they're related.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
There you go. Yeah, that was cute. She has a
twin brother. She's like, you're my best friend, not the
US A choice.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
That acceptance speech, like was really interesting. I've only know
Mikey Madison through her performances.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
To see how different obviously, I'm like, she wasn't even
on noor when she went up there, but like.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
You got a real and that's where you know she's
an actor. You got a real taste for like her
actual character.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
And I'm like, damn, she was spitting like as a
Nora because she was truly like there was a.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
Humility, just a teenager.
Speaker 4 (43:13):
When she went up there, She's like, oh my god,
this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (43:16):
Yeah, she just seemed really young and anyway, Adrian Brodie
baby best Actor for a second time. People noted that
as he was taking the stage, she took his gum
out of his mouth and threw it at his partner.
To his partner, some would say, Georgina Chapman.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
Wait he did? Oh? Is that what was going on?
I was like, what the you have? Like a lipper
in or something? Be way better loose. It's not even
like a fucking pouch.
Speaker 4 (43:44):
Just all right, put that in my gatorade bottle under
my seat.
Speaker 2 (43:52):
You could have just spit it into your Gatorade bottle.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
I don't want him to see I spit into a
Gatorade bottle. Okay, it's embarrassing and they can see all
the spit. It's the clear bottle.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
Okay. Good for him.
Speaker 4 (44:03):
His partner is he shout out his partner and her kids,
who are now I guess his step kids. His partner
is Harvey Weinstein's ex wife, so like those, he's shouting
out like Harvey Weinstein's children from the stage, which damn okay,
Russell will insisting, piece of interesting, piece of context. Yeah
(44:26):
all right, jam said, so, no matter how much gum
he throws at her Adrian Brodie will never be her
shittiest romantic partner.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
We talked about I'm surprising to have my shirt. He's like,
I'm not the step father that's stepped up.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
That's right. How you like that, Harvey? And then it's like, yo, wait,
don't shout him out. Okay, that's right.
Speaker 4 (44:47):
So just going along with the like indie element of
the whole thing. The movie Flow one for Best Animated
Feature against Inside Out two I think was nominated, and
the good robot Wild Robot, which was also nominated.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
I really liked Wild Robot. I thought that was good.
Speaker 4 (45:07):
I haven't seen Flow, but JM was pointing out that
it is like another example of like independent. It was
made for three point seven million dollars by a Lotvian
director using free, open source animation software that basically anyone
can use on a lot Yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Well, Inside Out to cost two hundred million dollars to make,
so yeah, so your movie sucks okay.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Fuck yeah? Wow three point seven million is that's pretty
remark that's wild. Yeah. Good for the yo.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
So when no other land one for Best Feature Documentary,
and we talked on the show about how they were
still I'm pretty I feel. I don't know if anything's changed,
but up till the awards, they had not secured any
American distribution for this documentary that's talking about what's happening
in the occupied West Bank. Yeah, my fucking step mom
(46:02):
sat on the remote inadvertently and muted the TV.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
But we didn't realize.
Speaker 4 (46:07):
You thought they were like cutting their mic.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
Yeah, I said, you know what, And I went up
there and go what the fuck is going on? And
everyone was like there's no there's no sound. Wow.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
I'm like, what the wait what I'm like hell, no, hell,
And I'm like no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
And then she's like, oh, wait, hold on, the remote
is here, and then I hit the mute button and
it came back on. I was like, oh.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
For a second, I was like, bro, I was not
ready to fucking fully go across the rubicon into like
and now you will not hear anything that goes against
the wheels of the American Empire. Yeah, but yeah, that
was also. Yeah, it was wild to have like that
moment be where you could hear some of the realist
shit being talked, because from what I saw, like none
(46:48):
of the people that won for Amelia Prez ever like
mentioned the trans community like in their acceptance speeches.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Yeah, I don't like.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
We're at a pretty critical juncture here and being able
to like stand up for marginalized people.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
Yeah, but yeah, that was that was a that was
a big speech. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (47:06):
They specifically called for an end to the ethnic cleansing
of the Palestinian people and also called a US foreign
policy that's helping to block a political solution without ethnic supremacy.
And yeah, I mean we're so far from the US
not doing that that US is blocking this movie from
like getting distribution.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
Yeah, we don't like the harsh reality of our foreign
policy because I think that's what they said. It's like,
and the foreign policy of this country is actually preventing it.
It was interesting to see like some people would stood
up when they won.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
Other people seemed firmly planted in their seats. But hey,
it is what it is, because we don't want to
bring too much sunlight onto a situation like that. But
I think most people clearly understand how powerful the message
and how important the story is because it won. Yeah,
I will say so.
Speaker 4 (48:02):
Another place that people are probably saying it is what
it is this morning is Hulu because they were streaming
the Oscars for the first time, and they they missed
the open wicked performance by Cynthia Revo and Ariana Grande.
Really also missed Conan's monologue wait, like.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
It just wasn't part of the stream, like they were
just greeted it.
Speaker 4 (48:28):
I feel like it was like being handled by like
a fifty something guy, you know. It was like, oh shit,
I didn't even realize the Oscars were on. They also
like cut out during the Best Actress category informing viewers
that the show was over, and then someone had to
be like, yo, you do like you you have to
like add extra time. You can't just like have it
(48:49):
cut off at the time. They say, that's pretty standard
for anyone who's ever used a DVR, right, And then
it happened again during the Best Picture announcement. They're like,
all right, right now, it's got to be over right.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (49:02):
For this and many other reasons, I have a hard
time believing that one billion people watched the show, which
was mentioned multiple times that a billion people around the
world were watching it. US ratings have been around like
sixteen million people in the past couple of years. I
think they got as low as eleven during the pandemic,
(49:24):
but seems like that, you know, eleven to sixteen in
the US. That's like that's your base right there, Like
that's who would be watching.
Speaker 2 (49:34):
That's that right? I don't know that you're gonna yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (49:39):
Brian pointed out that a billion people would be everyone
in America and Europe, just every single person on both comes.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
We can only get we can only add three hundred
million to that pot, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (49:50):
Yeah, that's exactly what.
Speaker 1 (49:52):
Let's see, like what the World Cup probably didn't even
get close to whatever. I mean, clearly, that's like one
of those Oniony type jokes where.
Speaker 2 (50:00):
People were like, I think so, and then you think
of any like a fucking way A billion people watch this? Right?
Speaker 1 (50:05):
That only bluster Like they said sixteen, So that's up
from previous years.
Speaker 2 (50:10):
We don't know.
Speaker 4 (50:11):
Last year was sixteen, but last year also had uh
Oppenheimer and Barbie like the two oh yeah yeah, the
past couple of years vying so I think, and like
a musical number by Ryan Gosling and stuff like that.
Though I think it's probably this one. If I had
to guess, this one will be slightly down.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
But yeah, whatever, I mean it's it was going to
see like the charts of like just the dwindling interest
in the I'm just curious if someone can map like
wage stagnation and inequality with waning interest in stuff where
wealthy people do backslapper times and giggle fests. Yeah, just
(50:50):
think I think there might be something there.
Speaker 2 (50:53):
Hm hmm.
Speaker 1 (50:54):
It's easier when you could trick yourself and be like
and I might one day be in that class.
Speaker 2 (50:59):
Of people or something. Shit like. It's about aspiration. We're like,
I feel like now you're just like, fuck all this ship.
Speaker 4 (51:05):
Yeah, all right, well those are some of the things
that are trending on this Monday morning. We are back
tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then,
be kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get
your vaccines way you still can't get your flu shots.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
I don't know if you hear the JFRFK Junior. He's
back on board.
Speaker 4 (51:25):
So yeah, this is this message brought to you by
RFK Junior. He says vaccines are good.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
Vaccine good, vaccine good, but still don't.
Speaker 4 (51:31):
Do nothing about white supremacy. Not brought to you by
anyone in the Trump administration. That wore, and we will
talk to you tomorrow. Bye bye
So, but Brian, do you do you recommend Flight Risk?
I mean, it's funny just you showing me that clip.
I'm kind of want to know more, but I also
feel like I saw the best part, like you just know.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
No, there's there's more.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
But the thing about Flight Risk is it's a lean
ninety and it's so stupid.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
That it wies by pardon like twenty minutes.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Yeah, anything where I'm like, oh.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It is hour thirty, Okay, I can do this, Like
I rarely shut off a ninety minute movie.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
No, no, no, That's why I like I watched like
Hallmark Christmas movie because they're like an hour and fifteen, but.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
It's too short and it's too dumb to be like
too offended by it.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Right.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
I did not know that it was a screwball con
like I guess I kind of had the sense that
it was a slapstick comedy from his hair falling off,
but like the way way trailers pitched, it was, yeah,
that it was just a thing like that, that it
was a thriller and it's not straight up a dude
just style violence comedy.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I did not think there would be a titty twister.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
The titty Twister killed them, Like, what do you think.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Of our lord whatever world we are in now that
we're doing? All right, titty twister.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
As he reveals that he doesn't get paid to be
a hit man, he just does it for free, for
the free opportunity to give people titty twisters.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
And I'm wondering if that line was I can't tell
if that was improved.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I can't tell if the tns twister line was improved.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Twister in the script, because it's hard for me to
imagine that being in a script. It's so stupid. All right, ye,
sitty twister.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Yeah, I didn't see it come during the UH during
the Flight Risk Best Original Screenplay montage, Like they didn't
show that part, so it was hard.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I can't picture that table read at all.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this Monday morning week
trend edition of Daily Yes Yes, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Da or da da da.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Yes, because we are I don't know if you saw
there's thing at the Kremlin news like now that Russia
and the United States foreign policy goals have aligned, and
I'm like, wow, what a way to put that? Yeah, okay, anyway.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Just gravitationally, it just happened as a matter of course,
there is nothing offward or pushy happening. Yeah, sometimes weird
you know, no weird jerking of the steering wheel to
one side that doesn't really make sense for any reason
that anybody can tell.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I think it's like, yeah, Republicans will be like, well,
you know, broken clocks right twice a day. That's kind
of the overlap you're seeing versus now. It's like, no,
the watch is said to the exact same time, like
at the everything it's the witch actually the same.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
It's they're not broken.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
They actually don't need watches because he just tells us
what time it is. You just call him and he tells.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Like metaphorically, he's like, oh, what's up home, you know
what time it is? Like Vladimir I do.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Putin does say that all the time. What's up, homie?
You know, you know what time it is? Jack that
over there is Miles.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
And this is the episode where we tell you all
the things that we're trending from Friday through Monday morning.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
But first we like to get to know you a
little bit better.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Let you get to know us a little bit better
by telling you stuff we think is underrated, stuff we
think is overrated. We like to ask our guests throughout
the week what they think is underrated overrated?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
This is where we get a chance saying.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Yeah, yeah, and you know what, I'm just going to
go through all the overrated and underrated from our guests
from the past week and talk about why they're wrong. Now, Miles,
what is something you think is under rated?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Oh? Man?
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Couple things first. One pretty obviously, but not price gouging.
Huh pretty, I think a pretty solid business model or
just you know, for if we live like in a
time where everyone's like, what a consumer goodwill?
Speaker 2 (04:21):
What do we have consumer confidence? Yeah? Stop just fucking
over charging people. I say this because I went to
this Japanese market in La I bought a dozen organic eggs.
You know how much? I got a dozen organic eggs
for at least.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Forty five dollars five ninety nine What five dollars ninety
nine cents is what I walked out of this Japanese mark.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Weird because you're telling.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
The story like it just happened and not like it
happened in nineteen ninety seven.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Yeah. When I when I.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Were twelve years old, when I was no, I couldn't.
I thought I was fucking stealing something. When I saw that,
I was like, no.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Bro, did they did?
Speaker 1 (05:00):
They fucking fuck up their handwriting? And then I asked
one of the people, I said, it's five ninety nine.
They're like, yeah, just just you can only take pick
up the hand.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I put it.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I was so fucked up, like you know, like you're
just so conditioned as a consumed like yeah, they're fucking
me again that you see it, and then you're like,
I'm not being fucked or I'm being fucked gently.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, I don't know. So anyway, that was such a thing.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
And then like I told everybody's like, yo, you need
to get down to the Nigia market over here. I
saw tell bro they got a fucking they got the
ships for five ninety nine. So that was fantastic. The
other thing I'll say underrated a petty knife. Petty knife
is a small sort of like a small knife you'd use,
much smaller than like your kitchen knife. Yeah, it's like
a pairing knife basically, it's like a utility knife. But
(05:49):
it so I recently, my cousin got back from Japan
and you know, my house.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Burned down, so I lost I lost all my knives.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
And I had a couple of Japanese concept I was
very like, very connected to. He like replaced all my
knives for me. It was very very sweet, and but
I got like a new petty knife. This shit is
so fucking sharp that I'm like using I'm like using
it more than like my traditional kitchen knife because it
(06:20):
just you get such control with it. I'm peeling fucking
fruit for the geist child, I'm peeling for everything. I'm
cutting cheese, I'm deboning fucking chicken. Anyway, it's very nice.
I think all that to say, it's probably just a
sharp ass knife really is the best thing.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
But a petty knife is great because it's easy to control.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Small sharp, small sharp, best cheese knife you could use.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
It's just so fucking solid.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
So you know, I just want to say, people at
the very least are we talking on that blade like
finger were talking like four and like five inches five inches.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Yeah, it's not like a fox cut or no, no, no no,
but it's enough that it's like if someone said, hey,
I'm gonna chop this like cabbage up you like with
this fucking tiny thing, Like.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
No, but if you're like, hey, I'm gonna slice a
tomato or whatever, cut stuff up smaller, perfect, perfect.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Okay, got it.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
I'm just picturing John Boyce's character from Anaconda coming in
and be like, I'll cut you up real nice.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
They don't buy.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
And I can do that machine because he's doing Yeah
it's John.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Yeah, you're doing a white guy doing doing. We don't
even know that. Yeah, yeah, exactly, I can do Radagan.
We have these specific white people that act as conduits
to do a problematic without being problematic. That's right, all right?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Uh, my underrated is wind?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Just by me.
Speaker 4 (07:49):
I've never once h checked the weather report for wind. Uh,
and then it just uh well, first of all, did
just burn down entire chunks of Los Angeles earlier this year.
I don't know if you heard about that, Miles Wins
while you were out for some reason.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
I don't. I don't know what you were up to, bros.
Missed the crazy news story.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
But and then even then, like people had a hard
time blaming the wind, like Henry Winkler and Whitney Cummings
had to make up an arsonist god the wind.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I just think I was Whitney Cummings anyway, but God,
damn Phonsie. Unbelievable.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Yeah, for you. I know, we're all for you, Phonsie.
Hopefully he comes back. Hopefully he's like, sorry, guys, that
got away.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
That's what that's what millions do to you.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Yeah, it's just like, you know, he's with a bunch
of people in the Palisades probably who lost their you know,
five million dollar homes and is uh they have theories.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
I lost my only home in the Palisades. I have
five in the state, but Palisades home is my own.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
I lost my Palisades home. But yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I think it's like but I think I suffer from
the same thing where wind is just hard for me
to plan for. I'm just like never expecting it. I'm
never checking for it. Suddenly the air is like twenty
degrees colder than I was expecting it to be. My
kids are shivering, my hat is flying away.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Your two pay is blowing off like it always blows away,
which is kind of fun. Yeah, I do like the
comedic yeah, facing after.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
It down the street.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Also, I'm gonna say, I don't know, I'm assuming it's
hard to add like fake wind in a movie. Maybe not,
but like I feel like it should be used more often.
It's a great atmospheric Like movies love to use the
rain to set a mood. But like there's this movie
Volvaire that I think is the one that Penelope Cruise
(09:56):
won an oscar for.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
But it like takes place in a a.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Constantly windy town and it like just has these like
poetic meditations on like the wind, like legends that like
the wind drives you mad when you live there, and
there's just this like constant sound and movement and it's
just like a constant ghost howling down the streets of
your town. Yeah and then uh and yeah, then it
(10:21):
just starts. It causes things to just start flying around
that never flew around before. It's like someone just comes
along and shakes your city like a snow globe, and
then you get to like pick everything up. Earthquake last night, Yeah,
oh yeah, speaking of getting shook in like a fucking
snow globe.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
There's just like one big shake. It was like it dropped.
It was one of those droppers where yeah, yeah, and
then a little Rocky the at the center North Hollywood, California,
Baby yeah, coming for you. Man. It's I know, part
of me was like, what the fuck.
Speaker 4 (10:55):
Leave me alone, me alone, mileshows what you think is overrated?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
Overrated.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
This ties into the Oscars, but the old way of
presenting like awards, traditional awards show presentation, like when presenters.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Go up to give out the award.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
This is like one thing that I really liked about
the Oscars was the way they like personalized the presenters
connections to the nominees.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Was like oh yeah with Robert Downey Junior.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Yeah, or just like even when like the costume when
it was time for costume design, each person that was
in the film sort of like was giving their flowers
to the person that like design the costumes or like
other people just giving it up to like other direct
you know, like it was just it felt like so
much better than just sort of like the art of
editing is known as a block and like there still
(11:47):
was some of that, but to have like then sort
of couple that with people saying like I was so
great to work with you, like your dedication, it just
gives it a nice personal touch that it feels almost
like oh shit, like yeah, cool, you're It's nice to
see other people acknowledge their contribution even before an award
is given. I think that was just a very nice
(12:08):
touch to it because it it almost came off genuine
and I am off like their people, celebrities, their people too. Yeah,
So I was like, okay, cool, this made it a
little more interesting because like you're just kind of you
kind of.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Build the skill of.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Tuning out like this sort of kind of like very
dry boiler plate kind of like and now.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
To give the award, here are the nominees.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Part you're just kind of like you just basically black
out until they open the envelope to announce it, right,
Whereas this one gave you a little bit more of
a reason to listen.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
So I thought, you know what, that's good, nice touch.
I'll give you that. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
And then the ones that weren't that I felt like,
yeah by comparison because like I can't read the prompter.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
Oh yeah, well, like it was great one.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's like and now Andrew Garfield will go up to
like just give his flowers to a sort of confused
Goldie Hawn, who wasn't sure that this was like her.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Moment she was. She was like being so humble. She
was like, oh, thank you, honey, Well let's keep this movie.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
He's like, no, I have more yeah, yeah, And she
was like oh okay again, Like I felt like that
was the overall theme that was like emphasizing the humanity
of people, like, hey were people.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
You know, my mom loved you, she was you were
part of her. My mom was really into you because
you know old and anyways, I know, you love hearing
stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
The whole Goldie Han thing made me think about how
like I used to just watch like all these like
retrospective TV shows, Like I remember I knew Goldiehans and movies,
and then I, like, as a twelve year old, found
out about Laughing and like she had this whole comedic
career and she's like held up as like a great
comedic performer that I was just like, I don't know.
(13:48):
I mean, I know he from like Bird on a
Wire like whatever movie she was in in the eighties
like stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Yeah, But then what was the thing Nixon said on Laughing?
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Like I was just trying to remember, Like I was like, there,
I know, there's a famous like Nixon line in Laughing
where they had Nixon as a guest on Laughing.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Yeah. Yeah, like Lauren michael Y sock it to me,
That's what it was. Sock it to me. And again
this is a product of me watching like weird VH.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
One shows that it then made me think, are younger
people gonna give a fuck about like shit that we
remember from the nineties and eighties the way somehow I'm like, yeah, laughing,
remember that Nixon moment from laughing in the sixties seven?
Speaker 4 (14:31):
Right, I don't feel like I knew that laughing existed
for most of my life, Like I was not watching
the retrospectives. I did not know that Goldie Hawn was like, uh,
you know, a young ingenue on this like basically it
was like another SNL SNL competitor that she was like
the star of the breakout star of and then like
(14:53):
went and started to be in movies and immediately like
got nominated or won an oscar with them like a
couple of years and couple of movie rules. But yeah,
I'm actually reading this Lorne Michael's biography, and it's like
interested like talked about that that early stuff and those
early tons and a lot of the shit is not
(15:14):
that funny in the early days, but comes around. I'm assuming,
all right, sticking with the oscars, my overrated I would
say is like, all right, did.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
You watch Kieran Culkin's acceptance speech.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
I was in the room when it happened, and then
I just wasn't interested in what he was saying. So
I know you had mentioned something earlier, and I was like, yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:37):
I think, like I find him charming, like you, he's
like you want to love him and hate him, like
it's the whole thing with his character on succession. But
then like he hates himself already, so he's sort of
just being like, ah, well, he took care of that part,
so I just like him, like okay. So he got up,
gave a speech, and then like at the end, was like,
all right, so there's my wife, jazz uh and like
(16:01):
I told her, if I want an Emmy, she would
give me a third baby, and I want an Emmy
and she was like, no, I'm not going to do that,
but if you went an Oscar, I'll give you a fourth.
And he was like, well, now I want an Oscar,
so let's let's get to fucking essentially.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
And I I get that.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
It was like tongue in cheek and he may not
be expecting her to have a baby, but the people
who meet her for the first time for the next
ten years of her life. Are sure going to be
asking about it?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
It just you know what, maybe guys on you owe him? Right?
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Just a weird And it also just felt like a
weird like tread wife as child bearing reward figure. Yeah
sure for like man doing good job at work paradigm.
It just felt felt a little like, I don't know,
a handmaid's tail style birthing contract and not that like
that's the energy he was giving and people like people
(17:00):
seem to be like this was one of the highlights.
It was like such a cute human moment. But I
just don't felt it.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Even as like a joke to be like you owe me,
you owe me a child me? What do you what
do you like? King Richard? What the fuck is this ship?
Like you owe me? Where are my heirs? And I
get maybe being like but he doesn't mean it, so
it's fine.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
I'm like, Okay, it's kind of like the same way
like the Office was getting away with like racist jokes
by being well, he's dumb, so it's like, wow, that bad. Okay,
we're making we're laughing at it. But as people gain
a little more perspective.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Like it's like the funniest fucking thing.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
But whatever, you know, I hope, I hope he has
a contract. This is why you can't just be out
here making fucking agreements based on how many awards you win.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
You should your serious contract with your significant other.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
I've saying that from day one.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Exactly under penalty of death. After watching some of those
Stephen Crowder household ring videos, I realized that you need, yeah,
shit locked up.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
That's where it's It's like you're flying too.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Close to gross real shit, I think is the thing, right?
But whatever, I mean, Well, it's funny because, as you
said that, the thing I was focused on the whole
time was Jeremy Strong because.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
He didn't this motherfucker's probably dying inside.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
And I remember, right after they cut away from Kieran
Colkin leaving the stage, they showed Jeremy Strong.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
And it was funny. My dad was was over too.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
We were watching and we both went, oh.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
You're not happy, and then her Magsy's like, what we're like, yo.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Jeremy Strong looked fucking upset, and I rewound it and
ro like, he just looks like he's like looking off.
I'm like, no, no, you can see the hurt in
his eyes. He looked he is still processing that loss.
But I think that just me projecting more shit onto
Jeremy Strong than I probably should have.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
There's also the songwriter who has been nominale It did
like so many times, Diane Warren. I think, is that
that's not her name? Diane Warren?
Speaker 2 (19:06):
Is it okay? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (19:08):
She she had a tough like accepting that she lost face.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Experience that got you gotta feel for him. It's tough gig.
Just like.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
You can kind of like no, no, like overt like
what the fuck face, but like just you can kind
of see the blood drained from her face a little bit.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah, yeah, he shout out to her. She's from the valley.
There you go.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
All right, let's take a quick break. We'll come back
and we'll we'll talk about that uh Trump Zelensky meeting,
the that that happened the end of last week, right
after we recorded our last episode.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Yeah, well, we'll be right back.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
And we're back. We're we're back, So I mean, yeah,
Tru Trump Zolensky, jd Vance the Vance.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Dance, Marjorie Taylor Green's boyfriend, Marjorie Taylor Green's boyfriend all
ganged up on, you know, wartime president Voldemir Zelenski.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Is that how you pronounce this vl? You about to
say voldemorre Voldemort Zelensky.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
But basically it was, you know, Zelensky came in the
press was set up and it felt like it was
it was a setup, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
They Trump and Vance were just like waiting for him
to say anything that they could just jump on. Zelenski
obviously was pushing back on their narrative that like the
whole war was his fault and uh that Russia was
good and can be trusted.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
They hold on, they invaded, They Russia invaded Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
You sound like you should be more grateful, is what
we're hearing.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I feel like a Henley in here full like but
you wear in like a suit.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Bruh, what's uh? You look really like district Like fuck it.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
They really like Trump did mention at the beginning. They
like were nagging him from the beginning. They're like, thank
you for getting dressed up for the occasion.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Moving along, but I think he's dressed beautifully.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
You look like shit, No, no, you're great. It's great,
You're beautiful. But the other comment like kind of dashed
off comment at the end was where he was like
closing the thing and he was like, I I'm assuming
this was really good television, which I think is just
like that is his instinct, like anybody who's like he's
got a great instinct for like deal making and negotiating,
(21:48):
and you know, I don't think so. I think his
instinct is for reality television. It's and like creating moments
that are going to make for good TV that he
would want to watch to.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Get a little youth to active you some ute vernacular,
some gen z verneki. He is a master of crashing out,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
He is that master of the crash out to make
very entertaining like public crashouts.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
That's what and that because that's what that was to
see this.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Weird like the bully and then the Bully's weird little
friend who JD.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Vance was like, yeah, get them, get them, get them, get.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Them Donald like that weird dynamic, and Zelynsky's in there
basically being like, so I'm fighting off an invading army.
You motherfuckers said you were gonna give me security assurances.
Now you're trying to get me to sign some fucking
weird ass minerals deal with no security security.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
No fucking security assurances. What the fuck do what do
I look like signing this ship right now? And what
who the fuck do you think you guys are thinking
you can put this shit in front of me and
think I'm like, oh my god, I love it, thank
you so much.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
They're like fighting for their fucking existence and this is
what's happening.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I can't. Like. It was very It was so hard
to watch because you're like, holy, just like the America
completely becoming like this other thing now just before everyone's eyes,
trying to be like you better watch out. Like when
it got to the boys, like you got to know
your you don't have a good hand, you don't have
good cards. You got to know your hand you've got.
(23:18):
I'm not playing a game, motherfucker. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
He's like, you know what you get your you're risking
World War three and you're risky world War three. Like
he just kept escalating rhetorically again because he just wants
to have It's just became this scene this like circus
on yeah yeah, and it's just the whole thing was
just very, very difficult to watch. And then the internet
(23:44):
with like you know, the Speed of Light just started
making all these fucking memes. You see the ones where
they were playing like stratigo or like whatever.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
That other or whatever just by a door.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, it was just like ha ha ha, but no,
it is is kind of what's happening here.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Also, like for all the like Trump supposedly being a populist,
the popular opinion of Putin is pretty fucking unfavorable.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Like that that.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Seems to be one place where the real comfortable stepping
out of line with like popular opinion. Ninety percent of
Americans at least in twenty twenty three thought he was
extremely untrustworthy. Specifically, there's like a pull that says that
and I don't.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yeah, so I don't know.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
It's not like this is coming from some popular grounds
well as with like all of his policies. Uh, it's
coming from somewhere else, I guess.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Yeah, it's coming from Vladimir fucking Putin, dude.
Speaker 1 (24:40):
Like it's so obvious that at this point it's like
the fucking news really needs to fucking wake the fuck up,
and this is crazy.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
That was the other like big takeaway is they were like, uh,
you know, Zelenski lost his cool and like that he
really fucked himself there and not yeah, just being what
and like, I also saw people being like and obviously
Trump is doing this because he thinks that Russia will
be a good ally against China and like making kind
(25:09):
of what rationalizations, Yeah, making rationalizations that don't really make
sense for his behavior.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Well, they try and do the thing.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Rather than like be a little bit giving people context
about how this completely goes against the order of things
or whatever, they try and do this thing where it's
like trying to understand where he's coming from with them, yes,
even if it makes no fucking sense, and they don't
even say, like, but that doesn't make any fucking sense
because X, Y and Z they don't do that shit.
(25:38):
They're just like this, I think this is what he's
thinking to again pretend like they're doing journalism, but also
just zero pushback in manufacturing consent. And again, this whole
meeting was supposed to be around this fucking deal that
was going to be made. The deal in this instance
was Ukraine would allow for like five hundred billion dollars
in rare earth metals to be extracted where they get
(25:59):
like a measly cut of profits in exchange again for
no fucking security assurances and not even a commitment to
having a.
Speaker 2 (26:07):
Ceasefire, just none of that. It's like, give me that
and you'll be okay.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
How and again, this deal, of course, was untenable for
Zolenski because he wants fucking security assurances because he's fighting
invading army, and the deal is so unrealistic for two
really big points. A. Right, we haven't the five hundred
billion thing it's supposed to be like to repay all
the stuff we've given you. We haven't even given them
(26:32):
close to five hundred billion worth of arms.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Right, We're not even the biggest supporter of their military effort,
like they're Western European countries that have supported them more.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
The fact is we just dusted off some old shit
that we had, just old killing toys, and we say,
oh yeah, y'all could have them. And that five hundred
that amount that we say we're sending, No, that's for
us to buy shiny, new fucking kill toys. That's not
because here's the money. We're like, oh yeah, you could
have that, You could have that. You know what I'm
(27:04):
gonna replace. I'm gonna replace that Hi Mars system anyway
with some news there's some new shit out. I really
want that, So yeah, y'all could take that. That's how
like this transaction is working. So it's not like they're
on the hook for a half trillion dollars. Then would
the rare earth metals part. We don't even know if
there is enough rare earth metals in the ground in
Ukraine that would even total five hundred billion dollars? Like
(27:27):
that amount even baffles the commodities and geology expert community
who know about like, they're like, what is he like,
they're even from that perspective, what is he talking about?
This is a write up from like a commodities newsletter.
First of all, it says most estimates for twenty twenty
four stand at four billion to twelve and a half
billion globally in terms of sales of rare metals. The
(27:49):
global market right at the low end is four at
the high end twelve and a half. So it said
it would therefore be astonishing for Ukraine to conjure up
five hundred.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
Billion dollars under a bill.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Then this other thing it is also this is again
from the same article. It is also notable that even
during the most recent rare earth metal price boom, which
ran from late twenty twenty to March of twenty twenty
two and saw exploration companies enthusiastically snap up and try
to develop new supply sources around the world.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
No one made a play for Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Right, that's even predating the war, right, Like, there's just
not it's just not something that's on the radar. So
I think again, Trump goes on to be like, well,
it's a great deal because his logic here is that
all the American commercial mining companies that would be in
Ukraine would act as a deterrent because Russia wouldn't dare
attack and risk harming Americans in Ukraine and risking war.
(28:40):
It's like, bro, they're not going to attack because they
got what they wanted through this dumb fucking deal.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
It's not because of the presence of it.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Like the America is not gonna do shit, So stop
pretending that that's the position America is gonna take. And
it just feels like terrible negotiating and like bad fascist
improv Like clearly Trump was told by Putin just fucking
makes it go away and make them weaker so I
can take my depleted army back home, and like we
can have some kind of a win here, and to
(29:07):
achieve the alienation of Zelensky, Trump goes for this weird
ass minerals deal that makes no sense and just ends
up having the effect of strengthening European alliances because after
that they're like, oh shit, yeah, you know, Zelensky went
to the UK and Starmar's like, bro, we gotta We're
gonna have to figure out how to do this shit
without the crash out crew in DC. And Trump can't
(29:30):
just announce okay bye by Ukraine because he needs the pretext,
no matter how flimsy, to not look like a Russian asset.
So his idea to create this pretext is just like
this untenable deal, So then he can be like, well,
I tried to help it, but he just wouldn't take
the deal, so therefore I need it.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Seems like they're like really just going along with that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
So again, if like if the improv suggestion from Putin
to Trump is this scene is about cut ties with Zelenski,
then Trump just started the improv scene by saying, let
me have sex.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
With all of your ghosts or else I never what
the fuck? What huh?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
But yeah, like you say, Washington Post rip fully to
that fucking place with these op eds they're putting out now,
it's like absurd.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Yeah, they just put out on op ed.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Zelensky must mend the breach with Trump or resign from
Mark A season, which I don't know. Is that like
an anagram for Lindsay Graham or is that? But yeah,
this should have been a backslapping, feel good meeting celebrating
the minerals deal. Unfortunately it was a terrible deal for Zelensky,
(30:40):
so he was not feeling good for some reason.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Who was a nie slapper because it was so fucking
absurd of a deal. Not a backslapper because we're gonna
feel good. Yeah, just says go, Like the this whole
like Mark Theeson I think is a bush.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
I think a speech writer or something. He's from the era.
But like even him trying to act like this is good,
it's just so disorienting. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Anyway, the billionaire capture of our media has just led
to a fun toilet bowl ride down to hell for everyone.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Yeah, it's really wild as far as what people think,
Like I mentioned, there's been pulling that suggests that you know,
ninety percent of Americans for some reason find Vladimir Putin untrustworthy.
I don't know what their deal is, must be hangover
from the Cold War, just some other evidence that this
is not a popular position. So right after this where JD.
(31:36):
Vance was kind of the instigator. He was like the
first person. But first of all, you should thank our
president and wash his feet with your hair.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Okay, that's his thing.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
He give him gold, gifts of gold, and you know
he's not that into Franken CENSORR.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
But he was.
Speaker 4 (31:56):
He was so annoyed that, you know, Zelen Ski and
you know, putting up big, big dick energy in the room.
And then he Johnson off to a ski vacation with
his family in Vermont, and it did not go well.
Hundreds of protesters showed up to line the streets, some
(32:17):
with some pretty devastating signage such as vance skis and
jeans the worst thing you can do. I mean, I
play pickup ball in jean shorts.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
But that's just me. I guess you're not supposed to
ski in jeans. You want to show off your legs.
I got to show off them them you just saying
they look better and cutoffs.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Exactly got to show off the thighs, baby, but they
he even got hassled as he was skiing, as if
it were some common visiting dignitary.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
Heuh had to be moved to an undisclosed location. But
one person really took him out but like almost ran
into him on the slopes, and another one called him
Putin's puppet on the mountain.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, so great.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
It looked like I've saw clips on Reddit of like
just like the cluster fuck. It look like having just
secret service and him skiing and like other people like
what like hating this guy.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
It just felt like a fucking nightmare.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
But I just love how again, like Fox and Friends,
the media comes to his defense.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
And they're like, bro, this should not be They should
leave him alone, you know, they should just like he's
with his family. Quote, I think his family should be
off limits, says the lady from Real World from fucking
forty years ago.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Thanks.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Also, skiing vacations are where like billionaire power broker like
clash with the blue collar ski workers and the like townies.
That's what they taught us anything, This is exactly where
this should be happening.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, I'm surprised jd answers so like into that kind
of media would know.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
It's like, the last place I need to go is
a ski resort. They're gonna prank me.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
I mean, there were the strikes earlier this year. It's
a hotbed of class tension. So yeah, shit, perfect place
for him to go immediately after, you know, pissing off
the American people with a wildly unpopular take.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Well's always yeah, there's I always see these like sort
of screen caps of like comment sections, and half seem real,
the other half seemed like bots. But there are like
definitely a group of confused boomer conservatives who are like, nah,
I'm pretty sure I was raised to hate everything Russian
from birth.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Is what is this?
Speaker 1 (34:47):
And I don't understand what what we get out of it?
It's like yeah, yeah, explain it, Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 4 (34:55):
Also, there was a blind item that suggested that again
you know, blind item, no way to corroborate this as
of yet, similar to the couch fucking it just fits,
you know, just fits his personality, his energy always what
he tried to a chairlift, He tried to fuck it. No,
somebody said I skied at sugar Bush in Vermont today.
(35:17):
Guess who is here? None other than are Steven Vice
president jd Vance, half of Central Vermont, was out in
the streets protesting him. It was hilarious. The loser couldn't
even get off the chairlift. He went around the bowl
wheel and they had to shut it down so secret
Service could get him off the chair. I'm not kidding,
true story. Fucking Jerry of the Day. I don't even
(35:39):
know what Jerry means.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Dude, that's like a pejorative nickname for people who don't
belong people, yeah, who.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Aren't like real skiers, like they were jeans and ski.
There's a very big Instagram account that just shows like
ski fails like that. I think it's called Jerry of
the Day.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
But honestly, misinformation about jd Vance is louds harmless misinforma ever.
So yeah, he I think we need to add to that.
It's because he tried to have sex with you.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
He was trying to fuck the chairlift as he was
going up. It is very couch adjacent, you know, it's
they call it a chairlift, but it's more like a
metal couch.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
But yeah, three across, you know. Yeah, all right, let's
let's take a quick break. We'll come back.
Speaker 4 (36:20):
We'll talk anything we missed on the oscars up top.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
We'll be right back and we're back. We're back.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
By the way, Brian was pointing us to a Reddit thread.
Brian the Editor was pointing us to the reddit thread
that this just seems anecdotally, it seems like this Zelensky
stuff is unpopular. I mean it, like it's a good
point that the Ukraine War effort, Ukrainian War effort was
like extremely popular for probably like it goes with the
(36:57):
grain of white supremacy in America. You know, it's like
white people being like those people look just like me.
Like that's so yeah, it's it'll be interesting to see
how Trump supporters respond to this whole thing going going
side with m Yeah, although it is what a lot
(37:18):
a lot of the shit he does is like it
is what the Democratic Party has been doing and just
all American policy has been doing. He just does it
like real, uh, openly and stupidly.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
Well, because I think there's most Americans are kind of
diluted into thinking we're still trying to do good right,
where like, bro, we're not trying to do that, bro,
what we're talking about it And I mean not to
say that like like get real everyone, it's been this
bad forever. But like that's sort of like the difference
is sort of not even trying to hide this self dealing.
Speaker 4 (37:53):
Not even trying to play politics in any in any way.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Guys, just hide the self dealing a little bit, right,
and we'll go along with anything, all right?
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Oscars watched them out of out of one eye while
doing other stuff.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
But would you happen? Yeah, my eyes are fucked now
just watching that Sixers win over the Warriors on loop.
Oh my god, man.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
Just when I want they lost, like ten in a row,
shut down and be for the year nine nine in
a row shut down and b for the year.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
It's time.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
It's losing time, baby, It's time to lose the rest
of our games and just you know, shut it down,
try and get the best draft pick we can in
the seventy. Six Ers, of course win, just when they
need to start focusing on losing. Weird weird league fans
who people who aren't fans of the NBA probably like,
what are well adjusted you want your team?
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Yeah? Or well adjusted?
Speaker 1 (38:50):
I mean like I went to I went like I
don't care about nothing, and now I'm like, yeah, bro,
we're winning the fucking championship this year. Yeah, just fucking
you like it. I don't care how many people get injured. No,
we're not, but anyway I want to see. I did
feel like a winner, though, because I famously only saw
one movie that was in contention for awards, and guess
what it was fucking Honora. So I felt like so
(39:11):
in tune with the awards because I.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
I thought that I didn't know The Brutalist was about
brutalist architecture.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
He thought it was just about a guy who is mean.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
I just thought I didn't read a single word. I
saw like an emaciated Adrian Brody. I said, I don't
know what some sad Eastern European ship. I don't know
what the fuck they're talking about. This is kind of
where I went with it. But yeah, when was the
last time a fucking guy what's the guys named Dave Foster?
Speaker 2 (39:40):
What's his name? Dave Sean Baker, Sean.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Dave Foster, the fucking composer, the that because he went
Best Screenplay, Editing Director, Best Picture. He he he sort
of won four out of the five awards that they
won that single handed, when not saying one of the.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
Four like big ones that he was nominated for. It's
never really happened before Disney has won more Oscars in
a single year.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
But that was like not it wasn't like.
Speaker 4 (40:14):
Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best that just.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Seems wild to get Screenplay, Editor, Director, Like on the
individual merits, I was like, that's pretty impressive.
Speaker 4 (40:26):
I mean they made a point of emphasizing this when
they won. But like this movie had a budget of
six million dollars, Like it was a pretty small like
that's how you get somebody who's like doing all those things,
I think largely, although I think I think Christopher Nolan
also like does a lot of the shit. But yeah, yeah, sure, sure, yeah, Sodaberg,
I think it is kind of like that. But had
(40:46):
a budget of six million dollars. Four of the last
five winners had like really low budgets. Nomadland, Coda, Everything
everywhere all at once, now Anora. That's like eighty percent
of the last five years best picture winners. You know,
obviously Oppenheimer was a huge movie that destroyed last year's Oscars,
But like, I don't know, we talked about this as
(41:08):
like Hollywood.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
And like corporate thinking.
Speaker 4 (41:12):
Netflix COVID a lot of different things like kind of
conspired to fuck up studio movies, and like we were
like there's probably a new wave of like independent movies
coming and that at least seems to be happening.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
If you look at like who's who's winning Best Picture.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Well that's where like you'd hope the corporate thinking goes
hold on, dude, like these like weird stories and I
call them weird because they're not based on IP that
we own, right, It's like.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
Weird little stories are coming up. People like those better.
So I guess maybe we just do more of those.
And they're cheaper, so maybe we just make a fuck
ton of these. I don't Yeah, maybe not, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (41:49):
The only real IP movies that were like close to
winning were obviously Dune, Wicked, and then Conclave, which optioned
the the Pope Cinematic Universe Anymore did not win was
expected to win. I think was like one of the
biggest favorites heading in to the night like that category
was basically seen as a as a.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
Lock damn that she looked a little crust fallen. Yeah
when they showed after, like Mikey Madison had accepted also
from the Valley. Shoutowt Mikey Madison, shout out the Valley.
The Valley is just yeah.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
We're just the people on the fucking fringe brow. We're
not the fucking West Side, but guess what we're out here.
I remember that her Majesty was like, is that her boyfriend?
Speaker 2 (42:31):
I was like, no, that's shit. They look related.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
And then when she got her the redhead, she was with, yeah,
and she's like my twin brother, Miles.
Speaker 2 (42:38):
I was like, oh, they're related.
Speaker 4 (42:41):
There you go. Yeah, that was cute. She has a
twin brother. She's like, you're my best friend, not the
US A choice.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
That acceptance speech, like was really interesting. I've only know
Mikey Madison through her performances.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
To see how different obviously, I'm like, she wasn't even
on noor when she went up there, but like.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
You got a real and that's where you know she's
an actor. You got a real taste for like her
actual character.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
And I'm like, damn, she was spitting like as a
Nora because she was truly like there was a.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
Humility, just a teenager.
Speaker 4 (43:13):
When she went up there, She's like, oh my god,
this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (43:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (43:16):
Yeah, she just seemed really young and anyway, Adrian Brodie
baby best Actor for a second time. People noted that
as he was taking the stage, she took his gum
out of his mouth and threw it at his partner.
To his partner, some would say, Georgina Chapman.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
Wait he did? Oh? Is that what was going on?
I was like, what the you have? Like a lipper
in or something? Be way better loose. It's not even
like a fucking pouch.
Speaker 4 (43:44):
Just all right, put that in my gatorade bottle under
my seat.
Speaker 2 (43:52):
You could have just spit it into your Gatorade bottle.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
I don't want him to see I spit into a
Gatorade bottle. Okay, it's embarrassing and they can see all
the spit. It's the clear bottle.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
Okay. Good for him.
Speaker 4 (44:03):
His partner is he shout out his partner and her kids,
who are now I guess his step kids. His partner
is Harvey Weinstein's ex wife, so like those, he's shouting
out like Harvey Weinstein's children from the stage, which damn okay,
Russell will insisting, piece of interesting, piece of context. Yeah
(44:26):
all right, jam said, so, no matter how much gum
he throws at her Adrian Brodie will never be her
shittiest romantic partner.
Speaker 1 (44:35):
We talked about I'm surprising to have my shirt. He's like,
I'm not the step father that's stepped up.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
That's right. How you like that, Harvey? And then it's like, yo, wait,
don't shout him out. Okay, that's right.
Speaker 4 (44:47):
So just going along with the like indie element of
the whole thing. The movie Flow one for Best Animated
Feature against Inside Out two I think was nominated, and
the good robot Wild Robot, which was also nominated.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
I really liked Wild Robot. I thought that was good.
Speaker 4 (45:07):
I haven't seen Flow, but JM was pointing out that
it is like another example of like independent. It was
made for three point seven million dollars by a Lotvian
director using free, open source animation software that basically anyone
can use on a lot Yeah.
Speaker 1 (45:26):
Well, Inside Out to cost two hundred million dollars to make,
so yeah, so your movie sucks okay.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
Fuck yeah? Wow three point seven million is that's pretty
remark that's wild. Yeah. Good for the yo.
Speaker 1 (45:41):
So when no other land one for Best Feature Documentary,
and we talked on the show about how they were
still I'm pretty I feel. I don't know if anything's changed,
but up till the awards, they had not secured any
American distribution for this documentary that's talking about what's happening
in the occupied West Bank. Yeah, my fucking step mom
(46:02):
sat on the remote inadvertently and muted the TV.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
But we didn't realize.
Speaker 4 (46:07):
You thought they were like cutting their mic.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
Yeah, I said, you know what, And I went up
there and go what the fuck is going on? And
everyone was like there's no there's no sound. Wow.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
I'm like, what the wait what I'm like hell, no, hell,
And I'm like no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 2 (46:21):
And then she's like, oh, wait, hold on, the remote
is here, and then I hit the mute button and
it came back on. I was like, oh.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
For a second, I was like, bro, I was not
ready to fucking fully go across the rubicon into like
and now you will not hear anything that goes against
the wheels of the American Empire. Yeah, but yeah, that
was also. Yeah, it was wild to have like that
moment be where you could hear some of the realist
shit being talked, because from what I saw, like none
(46:48):
of the people that won for Amelia Prez ever like
mentioned the trans community like in their acceptance speeches.
Speaker 2 (46:55):
Yeah, I don't like.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
We're at a pretty critical juncture here and being able
to like stand up for marginalized people.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
Yeah, but yeah, that was that was a that was
a big speech. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (47:06):
They specifically called for an end to the ethnic cleansing
of the Palestinian people and also called a US foreign
policy that's helping to block a political solution without ethnic supremacy.
And yeah, I mean we're so far from the US
not doing that that US is blocking this movie from
like getting distribution.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
Yeah, we don't like the harsh reality of our foreign
policy because I think that's what they said. It's like,
and the foreign policy of this country is actually preventing it.
It was interesting to see like some people would stood
up when they won.
Speaker 2 (47:42):
Other people seemed firmly planted in their seats. But hey,
it is what it is, because we don't want to
bring too much sunlight onto a situation like that. But
I think most people clearly understand how powerful the message
and how important the story is because it won. Yeah,
I will say so.
Speaker 4 (48:02):
Another place that people are probably saying it is what
it is this morning is Hulu because they were streaming
the Oscars for the first time, and they they missed
the open wicked performance by Cynthia Revo and Ariana Grande.
Really also missed Conan's monologue wait, like.
Speaker 2 (48:25):
It just wasn't part of the stream, like they were
just greeted it.
Speaker 4 (48:28):
I feel like it was like being handled by like
a fifty something guy, you know. It was like, oh shit,
I didn't even realize the Oscars were on. They also
like cut out during the Best Actress category informing viewers
that the show was over, and then someone had to
be like, yo, you do like you you have to
like add extra time. You can't just like have it
(48:49):
cut off at the time. They say, that's pretty standard
for anyone who's ever used a DVR, right, And then
it happened again during the Best Picture announcement. They're like,
all right, right now, it's got to be over right.
Speaker 2 (49:01):
So I don't know.
Speaker 4 (49:02):
For this and many other reasons, I have a hard
time believing that one billion people watched the show, which
was mentioned multiple times that a billion people around the
world were watching it. US ratings have been around like
sixteen million people in the past couple of years. I
think they got as low as eleven during the pandemic,
(49:24):
but seems like that, you know, eleven to sixteen in
the US. That's like that's your base right there, Like
that's who would be watching.
Speaker 2 (49:34):
That's that right? I don't know that you're gonna yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (49:39):
Brian pointed out that a billion people would be everyone
in America and Europe, just every single person on both comes.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
We can only get we can only add three hundred
million to that pot, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (49:50):
Yeah, that's exactly what.
Speaker 1 (49:52):
Let's see, like what the World Cup probably didn't even
get close to whatever. I mean, clearly, that's like one
of those Oniony type jokes where.
Speaker 2 (50:00):
People were like, I think so, and then you think
of any like a fucking way A billion people watch this? Right?
Speaker 1 (50:05):
That only bluster Like they said sixteen, So that's up
from previous years.
Speaker 2 (50:10):
We don't know.
Speaker 4 (50:11):
Last year was sixteen, but last year also had uh
Oppenheimer and Barbie like the two oh yeah yeah, the
past couple of years vying so I think, and like
a musical number by Ryan Gosling and stuff like that.
Though I think it's probably this one. If I had
to guess, this one will be slightly down.
Speaker 1 (50:30):
But yeah, whatever, I mean it's it was going to
see like the charts of like just the dwindling interest
in the I'm just curious if someone can map like
wage stagnation and inequality with waning interest in stuff where
wealthy people do backslapper times and giggle fests. Yeah, just
(50:50):
think I think there might be something there.
Speaker 2 (50:53):
Hm hmm.
Speaker 1 (50:54):
It's easier when you could trick yourself and be like
and I might one day be in that class.
Speaker 2 (50:59):
Of people or something. Shit like. It's about aspiration. We're like,
I feel like now you're just like, fuck all this ship.
Speaker 4 (51:05):
Yeah, all right, well those are some of the things
that are trending on this Monday morning. We are back
tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show. Until then,
be kind to each other, be kind to yourself, get
your vaccines way you still can't get your flu shots.
Speaker 2 (51:21):
I don't know if you hear the JFRFK Junior. He's
back on board.
Speaker 4 (51:25):
So yeah, this is this message brought to you by
RFK Junior. He says vaccines are good.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
Vaccine good, vaccine good, but still don't.
Speaker 4 (51:31):
Do nothing about white supremacy. Not brought to you by
anyone in the Trump administration. That wore, and we will
talk to you tomorrow. Bye bye
