Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Zeke
Verse Trenzilla. That's courtesy of Dolphin Beam. I'm Jack, that's Miles. Yea.
Let's talk about some sports. Actually, yeah, we don't do
that enough on this Let's get right into it. But
I mean that game as as a U c l
(00:20):
A l Um. You know, I was rooting, so I
like came around on this U c l A team
so hard. I loved Tiger Campbell, I loved Johnny Jusing man.
I was really feeling that and like that that was
like getting punched in the gut, man, but also the
best college basketball game that I've seen in decades, maybe
(00:41):
in my life. I mean, Hima Hockey is junior Tiger
Campbell looking like young Bob Marley and me saying to
every person who has not been watching U c l
A basketball and like, yo, what'sn't this team? I'm like, yeah,
I don't know, but they're here. Uh it's dude, what
a fucking ride. I mean, I can't as much as
(01:02):
that ship killed me, Um, there's no way that there's
I mean, there's just absolutely no way this team or
any U c l A Bruin alumni support or whatever
it could hang their head because we took what I
believe is going to be the national championship to the
absolute fucking limit and forced them to hit just a
(01:26):
pull up dagger shot at the buzzer to change the game.
Like it wasn't gonna it was. It was such a
fucking battle I was. It was unbelievable. The last four minutes,
I like was just about to tear off my skin.
Yeah yeah, I felt like, yeah, I needed to go
smoke a pack of cigarettes. After that. I was like,
(01:46):
my heart was just beating out of my chest. And
now something now, you know, look jus Ain't they're gonna
be talking about him suddenly in the conversation. Yeah, now
people are in the conversation off the strength of those
performances and heat. I mean, he really, you know, shout
out to him. You know, I've been looking for people
who look like me out there on the court, even
(02:07):
though he went to my rival high school. But it's fine,
Yeah he went to Harvard Westlake, right, whatever, Look, Johnny Jusian,
as long as you got that blue and gold on
you know what I mean, you could do do what
you gotta do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And Gonzaga So for
people who don't follow college basketball or weren't watching the game,
Gonzaga is the first undefeated team to make it to
(02:29):
the finals in like a decade or more. Yeah, I
think I think decades. And they the u c l
A an eleven seed. You know, since there's four brackets,
it would put them like the committee thought of them
as like a forty four best team in the country type. Uh.
(02:50):
And they took them all the way to the limit
and Gonzaga might be one of the best teams of
all time. Um and who was It was a great game,
I do. I was complaining on Twitter throughout because it
just feels weird too, Like it feels outdated to have
like Jim Nance. They're being like Tiger like Tiger Woods,
(03:12):
like just it feels like it's being made for like
golf Dad's or something. Who like don't watch basketball, canker. Yeah,
and seriously, Candice in the game, like please the Yeah.
The they most excited they got was like about a
ref getting a call right. They were like, you should
be an NFL ref. He explained that so well, it
(03:34):
was like what the what are you talking about? Um?
Another exciting sports thing that happened over the weekend show.
Hey Otani, who we have talked about before on the podcast.
Uh so, this is a Japanese baseball player who is
(03:54):
you know, one of the most Yeah, he's one of
the one of the most anticipated players in years. He's
been here for like three or four seasons and like
has had a lot of injury problems, but people are
super excited because he can He's like a great picture
and a great hitter and like that hasn't happened really
(04:14):
since Babe Ruth. Like just yeah, and it's a cultural
thing too in Japan, like they're like, oh, you can
rock it, Yeah, do your ship then, you know, like here,
it's just like if you're a picture, you'll never fucking bad. Yeah,
it makes doesn't make sense offensively, And we're also not
in the business of being like, yeah, you should get
your you know, work on your bat speed a little bit.
You might get some might get you on base. But yeah,
(04:36):
he's he's just like a true two way player. And
that fucking just first pitch swinging just fucking destroyed the ball.
It was like a four and or fifty ft home
run or something like that was the hardest that a
ball had been hit so far this season obviously the
young season, but it was uh so, he did that
(04:59):
at his first step back, and he also during I
think one of his first endings that he was pitching
through the fastest pitch so far off that major League
baseball season after having Tommy John surgery. Yeah, like yeah,
I'm I'm so excited. Uh you know, my my friend Tie,
another Japanese American kid, we when he was coming over,
(05:22):
we were praying to God that he was not going
to the Angels because we are a lifelong Dodger fans
and maybe man, this, maybe we can maybe we can
figure something out. And the second that happened, I was
like we were both like, are we gonna have to
wear Angels stuff? Because on some level we were so
(05:42):
like all Japanese people were like so stoked on show. Hey,
and I like and just to see him be such
a generational talent is it just feels me with such joy.
But like also like come, sorry, I can't get down
with that uniform. So maybe I'm just gonna make my
like Fantasy Show Dodgers uniform. He uh So, he was
the first person the first picture to hit second in
(06:06):
the lineup since three the first picture to hit d
h Ever, Um, it's just you know, he's doing something
that no living person has seen in their lifetime. So
it's pretty. It's pretty. And he plays with Mike Trout. Yeah,
that's the thing that Angels really just like gobble up
generational talents and still may still managed to not make
(06:30):
the postseason. H you hate to see it, you know,
you hate to see it, or he can be like
the Dodgers and have your soul ripped out back to
back years. Well, the second season we didn't do that great,
but the first one cheating Paul Pierce had a pretty
noteworthy weekend. Uh. People were, you know, talking about him
(06:52):
because he went live from a poker game, looked like
a bachelor party, like he was getting a massage. A
woman was dancing behind him acrobatically. He looked acrobatically. I
like that for those listens. She's making a clap, y'all. Uh,
And people were throwing poker chips at her, I believe
(07:15):
as tips. And Paul Pierce looked like he had never
done ecstasy before, and then he did it for three day.
He did all the ecstasy. Yeah, he's like I took
at all the ecstasies. Hey, this guy's a cop man. Also,
like his energy was so it was clearly going live
to like taunt another woman who I think would have
(07:37):
danced at this party because he could have got money. Yeah. Yes, Monica,
swing through, Monica, Swing Monica, swing through famous words if
you're in l A. So so it's not even he
wasn't even certain she was in town. But anyway, he's married.
Also is like ESPN personality, who's like, you know, ESPN
(07:58):
personalities tend to be pretty buttoned up. U. Yeah, So
it's it's it was interesting. I I appreciated his tweet
on Sunday at like seven pm where he tweeted good
morning to everybody, so he you know, he was like, yeah, man,
I got real fucked up this weekend. Anyways, Uh, and
(08:21):
congverse Godzilla. The box office was, you know, it's starting
to look like it did before the pandemic. They did
about the same as the last Godzilla movie. Um, and
that is with theaters basically being you know reduced. Oh
(08:41):
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Uh it's doing much better overseas.
But yeah, it's gonna be the first Hollywood movie to
make four four hundred millions since Bad Boys for Life. Uh,
and might be the first to hit five hundred since
Frozen two, which seems like it came out in the
mid nineties, right right, Frozen two. I remember I was
(09:05):
eleven when that. Yeah, um, d MX is trending obviously
very very sad news from over the weekend. Um. He
you know Odeed is on life support. Um in a
vegetative state right now. Yeah, not not not brand not
no brain activity uh as a lot of brain activity.
(09:29):
I I'm like really bummed out by this. And you know,
it's look, he's a he's his motherfucker's all over the place.
We know he's he's he's said all kinds of wild ship.
He's not all kinds of wild shit. Um. But like
I was realizing, you know, in my adult life, like looking,
I was just thinking about him, you know, just looking
(09:50):
back on the man Earl Simmons, Dark man X, and
I realized, I think when I was a kid, I
was like, Yo, this guy's as angry as me or
like his music sounds as chaotic as my adolescence is
and mentally emotionally for me at the moment. So that's
what pulled me in, was like, yeah, this is this
feels right and then as I got older and looking back,
(10:10):
I realized, man DMX was just one of the most
openly um haunted rappers like out there, like in terms
of like charting, you know, he was not you don't
really know what Jay well, you know what what's going
on in Jay's mind? You don't know what's going on
and fucking you know. I mean like other artists shore
like there are other artists that are honest, like Kendrick
(10:32):
or j Cole or whatever, we're going to rap a
little bit differently. But DMX was like clearly just this tortured,
haunted person who did not not know how to help himself,
but he only knew how to express himself through his
raps super aggressively. And I think there's something about that,
like I try and take on is like a thing
to you know, what can we what wisdom can you take?
Because most people we don't like to struggle in front
(10:54):
of other people. We don't like people to see us
struggle with anything. That's why we don't ask a lot
of people don't ask for help when they need help,
or they'll try and solve things and keep things private
and don't share things. Because we have this thing of
not wanting to let allow people to see a struggle,
and DMX allowed the entire world to see his struggle.
And I'm not trying to really wax poetic about it,
(11:15):
but like, as I look back, I'm like, that's actually
I think the thing that resonated with me is that
he was just honest, because I mean, he was I
don't know another rapper who was crying like that and
also being so honestly toxic with his masculinity too. And
then yeah, just I mean, and check out any interviews
that he's done like later in his career, like really
(11:36):
understanding how much pain that he went through. It really
kind of I just thought he was the toughest motherfucker
I ever saw or whatever. You know, he's got that
pee boomer back dad, he's wearing chain weren't but he talks.
There's a clip of him on the talip Quality podcast
where he talked about at fourteen when he was just
in and out a juvie for since seven years old.
(11:56):
He got out of fourteen and this dude tricked him
into smoking crack at fourteen that he looked up to
that he was doing crimes with and robbing people with
and that completely fucked up his sense of self, completely
fucked up his ability to trust someone, because this was
someone he really looked up to. And when you like
see these moments, it gives me just another dimension to what,
you know, what DMX actually was, rather than she's being like,
(12:18):
oh man, DMX is the dude who barked. Yeah, yeah,
well when you first, like when I first started listening
to him, I was not expecting him to be like
breaking new ground in terms of like how vulnerable he
was willing to be on Mike and and I think
he stealth died it very well, because when you're it's
(12:39):
so violent and angry and you're screaming it, it looks
like strength. But what he's actually talking about is like deception,
his inability to trust people, how cynical his worldview has become.
And yeah, so like that's me getting in my like
washed hip hop analysis phase in my latter years. I'm like, nah,
I think that's what maybe was resonating, was that like
(13:01):
it wasn't because you know, you juxtaposed that with the
Bling Bling era and people you there's no fucking well
you didn't know shit about them as people. At least
this guy was hurt. Yeah, and that's what I you know,
latched onto. So you know, I hope if he's able
to pull through. I know things don't look very good,
but it maybe maybe something good can happen. Mm hmm.
(13:23):
It's also the twenty seventh anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death,
so people are tweeting about that. But you know, another
drug related uh people in a lot of pain who
you know, turned to turn to drugs, uh to to
deal with it. And man, it's a it's a bit,
it's a it's a tough one. Yeah. Another dude, you
(13:47):
could that's I think I wonder, you know, because you
could hear it in his voice too. Yeah, like it
was it sounds you know, it felt if it sounded
like how I'm sure it felt. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I
think that's like a thing that they both very they're
very similar in like sonically you could you kind of
you could feel where they're coming from. Yeah, that Unplugged album,
(14:07):
which was that I you know, looking back, I hadn't
realized how close that was, Like that was like weeks
before his death. Yeah, but man, what a fucking performance. Dude.
You hear Lake of Fire right now, you're gonna be like,
oh my god, yeah, we're do bad men go when
they die. And finally, vaccine passports are trending because Fauchi
(14:32):
came out and was like, I don't think the federal
government is gonna gonna be the people mandating vaccine passports.
You know, this has been something that Republicans have been against,
uh for the same reason they've been against mask mandates
and all that ship. But he he was saying like,
I could definitely see corporations doing it, So it's just
(14:53):
more America, you know, turn turning the job of government
over to corporate rations. And yeah, I don't know, is
it like you can It's not like vaccine pasports that
can be illegal or something. It's just that there's not
gonna be one single government entity that is demanding that
(15:16):
you have them in order, which means it's now going
to be more sovereign centers than type. Ship about being like, well,
you can't allow me, and I was like, well, you
know the free market that you love so much. You
heard you know, the funeral free market capital. Yeah, this
is what's happening, right, I'm saying, I'm free to tell
you the funk off as the business owner. But well, yeah,
(15:36):
I think we're talking about it last week when you
were gone, and just how slippery of a slope that becomes,
you know, because then at a certain point that just yeah,
that's just gonna kick off a black market and you'll
have people exploiting this ability to manipulate data to put
other people at risk. And it's just like I don't
but again, but how can you also try and properly
(16:00):
manage uh, this pandemic without being like, well, if if
you are unvaccinated, I mean you're vulnerable, then that how
do we safeguard against you? Because we're the we can't.
Americans have shown they don't know what mortality is because
so if you gave them a buyin airy of like,
well you could be harmed, like I don't care, and
then cut to their deathbed and they're like trump right,
(16:24):
You're like what oh no, see that. See that's why
you weren't actually equipped to make the decision for yourself.
That's why experts who are studying this that it's better,
it's the outcomes are better for you to be safe, uh,
to be inoculate. M hm hm yeah. Bad at that,
bad at having any sense of collectivism whatsoever. So um
(16:50):
bad combo. Anyways, that those are some of the things
that are trending from today and over the weekend. We
are back tomorrow with a whole as episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we'll talk to
you all tomorrow. Bye. By
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Zeke

(01:02):
that ship killed me, Um, there's no way that there's
I mean, there's just absolutely no way this team or
any U c l A Bruin alumni support or whatever
it could hang their head because we took what I
believe is going to be the national championship to the
absolute fucking limit and forced them to hit just a

in and out a juvie for since seven years old.
(11:56):
He got out of fourteen and this dude tricked him
into smoking crack at fourteen that he looked up to
that he was doing crimes with and robbing people with
and that completely fucked up his sense of self, completely
fucked up his ability to trust someone, because this was
someone he really looked up to. And when you like
see these moments, it gives me just another dimension to what,
you know, what DMX actually was, rather than she's being like,
(12:18):
oh man, DMX is the dude who barked. Yeah, yeah,
well when you first, like when I first started listening
to him, I was not expecting him to be like
breaking new ground in terms of like how vulnerable he
was willing to be on Mike and and I think
he stealth died it very well, because when you're it's
(12:39):
so violent and angry and you're screaming it, it looks
like strength. But what he's actually talking about is like deception,
his inability to trust people, how cynical his worldview has become.
And yeah, so like that's me getting in my like
washed hip hop analysis phase in my latter years. I'm like, nah,
I think that's what maybe was resonating, was that like
(13:01):
it wasn't because you know, you juxtaposed that with the
Bling Bling era and people you there's no fucking well
you didn't know shit about them as people. At least
this guy was hurt. Yeah, and that's what I you know,
latched onto. So you know, I hope if he's able
to pull through. I know things don't look very good,
but it maybe maybe something good can happen. Mm hmm.
(13:23):
It's also the twenty seventh anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death,
so people are tweeting about that. But you know, another
drug related uh people in a lot of pain who
you know, turned to turn to drugs, uh to to
deal with it. And man, it's a it's a bit,
it's a it's a tough one. Yeah. Another dude, you
(13:47):
could that's I think I wonder, you know, because you
could hear it in his voice too. Yeah, like it
was it sounds you know, it felt if it sounded
like how I'm sure it felt. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I
think that's like a thing that they both very they're
very similar in like sonically you could you kind of
you could feel where they're coming from. Yeah, that Unplugged album,
(14:07):
which was that I you know, looking back, I hadn't
realized how close that was, Like that was like weeks
before his death. Yeah, but man, what a fucking performance. Dude.
You hear Lake of Fire right now, you're gonna be like,
oh my god, yeah, we're do bad men go when
they die. And finally, vaccine passports are trending because Fauchi
(14:32):
came out and was like, I don't think the federal
government is gonna gonna be the people mandating vaccine passports.
You know, this has been something that Republicans have been against,
uh for the same reason they've been against mask mandates
and all that ship. But he he was saying like,
I could definitely see corporations doing it, So it's just
(14:53):
more America, you know, turn turning the job of government
over to corporate rations. And yeah, I don't know, is
it like you can It's not like vaccine pasports that
can be illegal or something. It's just that there's not
gonna be one single government entity that is demanding that
(15:16):
you have them in order, which means it's now going
to be more sovereign centers than type. Ship about being like, well,
you can't allow me, and I was like, well, you
know the free market that you love so much. You
heard you know, the funeral free market capital. Yeah, this
is what's happening, right, I'm saying, I'm free to tell
you the funk off as the business owner. But well, yeah,
(15:36):
I think we're talking about it last week when you
were gone, and just how slippery of a slope that becomes,
you know, because then at a certain point that just yeah,
that's just gonna kick off a black market and you'll
have people exploiting this ability to manipulate data to put
other people at risk. And it's just like I don't
but again, but how can you also try and properly
(16:00):
manage uh, this pandemic without being like, well, if if
you are unvaccinated, I mean you're vulnerable, then that how
do we safeguard against you? Because we're the we can't.
Americans have shown they don't know what mortality is because
so if you gave them a buyin airy of like,
well you could be harmed, like I don't care, and
then cut to their deathbed and they're like trump right,
(16:24):
You're like what oh no, see that. See that's why
you weren't actually equipped to make the decision for yourself.
That's why experts who are studying this that it's better,
it's the outcomes are better for you to be safe, uh,
to be inoculate. M hm hm yeah. Bad at that,
bad at having any sense of collectivism whatsoever. So um
(16:50):
bad combo. Anyways, that those are some of the things
that are trending from today and over the weekend. We
are back tomorrow with a whole as episode of the show.
Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we'll talk to
you all tomorrow. Bye. By
