Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Zight
six seven five three oh train and that is courtesy
of Ravioli. God, I'm Jack, Hey, you're Miles. And let's
tell the people a couple of things that are trending.
We got Ben and Jerry's trending because they have said
(00:22):
they will not sell ice cream uh in settlements, Yeah,
and in what they call occupied Palestine. And I'm always curious,
I'm like, well, whose definition of occupy it? Like what what?
What what are you saying? Because Palestinians will tell you
that's a much larger place than Gaza in the West Bank, uh,
in East Jerusalem. Um. But uh, this it's a first
(00:44):
step because I think they caught a lot of heat
for being super you know, on top of ship or
at least out you know, their posts on their social
media during over the summer and talking about white supremacy
and over policing and a lot of infographics and bringing
a lot of information through their humble ice cream uh
social media channel. And then they were quite silent um
(01:06):
when all of the you know, the just the fighting
was happening with within Israel and occupied Palestine. And yes,
so then it seems like they said, after talking with
partners and things like that, they will no longer be
selling ice cream to essentially settlers or in those territories,
but they will be selling it in Israel under They
(01:26):
called it like a different arrangement, which is a bit
uh an interesting way of uh awarding that, but a
first step, no less, I guess from a company that's
typically been pretty steadfast in their support of like selling
ice cream and settlements and just overall Israeli foreign policy.
So yeah, this it could cause a lot of If
(01:48):
you look at the posts like on Instagram or Twitter,
I mean like they're just they're exactly what you'd imagine
social media to be when someone is you know, has
a political um take on a very charged environment and
it's just melting down into all kinds of weird stuff.
But yeah, so the people were it's kind of criticizing
(02:09):
them for not doing anything about like basically Zionism because
they were vocal. So it's basically they are being held
the standard that they set with the Black Lives Matter response.
I think that's what a lot of people we just
felt like it's just so inconsistent, you know, like what's
(02:30):
going on. And also and a lot of people are
pointing out it's like, well, you're still selling it in
apartheid Israel, right, so you know it's like look again,
it's incremental, but that's how most things are. And yeah,
it's it's gaining it. And again there they found their
place sort of a damned if you do, damned if
you don't situation, because even though now they're saying it,
people who are like a little more critical of being like,
(02:51):
well what about your just in general, like are you
part of the BDS movement or are you not? Yeah, okay,
stephen A is trending again. It seems like now people
have suddenly uh caught onto the fact that he is
wrong for a living I guess would be uh. And
now it's just I mean, he just had a normal
(03:14):
show today and he's trending for all sorts of different things,
he said after a couple of games UM with iconic
Janni Santa Tokupo performances. Uh for non sports fans, Janis
Santa Takupo is basically taking over as like the new
lebron Um. He's you know, he's been the MVP of
(03:36):
the league for a number of years, but he never
want a title and he's basically just doing unprecedented ship
in the finals this year. It's a it's been very
fun past couple of games to watch and his his
teammate Chris Middleton had two good shooting games in a row,
and Stephen A said, you know, Middleton could be in
the argument for NBA Finals m v P, um sir, sir,
(03:59):
which now, like every I mean, nobody even I thought that.
I mean, he's definitely you know, cemented his star cred
for sure. I'll say that because middle yea and I
think there's been criticisms, like it was his postseason plays
when he would really turn on and they're like, where
can he be that Chris the whole season or is
it only like when the chips are down, which is
(04:20):
look not a bad quality to have. You'd rather have
someone be like they show up in high pressure situations.
The low pressure ones not so much because we have
people sort of on the opposite side of that. But
Chris Middleton for the I mean, okay, maybe an argument
that you would lose could be an argument for the
n b NBA Finals m v P. But does the
iconic moments coming out of Honice or like just too
(04:42):
much like the blog that value that man, that was
one of the coolest things I've ever seen an athlete do. Um.
I wonder like, if if we could do a like
proportional version to our athletic abilities, how small that space
would have to be for us to be like to
bob cover a driving guard who's about to throw a
(05:04):
lab up and go from trying to deny that lane
to then going across and then blocking out. It would
it would probably be like two ft on a five
foot rim. It would need to be outdoors because I
would need them to throw the labs so high that
I had time to turn around, Uh that it would
it would hit the ceiling just like in an absurd fashion. Yeah, yeah,
(05:29):
I mean I need to turn around and take a
couple of beats to catch my breath. Um, and then
you know, probably like let my eyes focus on the
person I'm supposed to be defending, which takes a little
while these days. Anyways, are you gonna were? What do
you think? Where do you what? Do you who you got?
Do you think you think the Suns can do it?
Or do do you think just these three games in a row,
(05:50):
it's just it's it's it's becoming insurmountable. I think it's
becoming insurmountable. I mean not insurmountable for sure. That there's
sometimes when I like first order of Game five, when
the sun's just we're kind of running away with it.
You know, it definitely looked like they could run away
(06:10):
with the whole series, and then Milwaukee just kind of
gut it their way back in. It really is like
the question of you know, they have one person who's
unstoppable as a score, um On Phoenix, and the Bucks
have three at any given time, and they had all
three of them working on and kind of watching Devon
(06:31):
in Game five, you know, his I felt like maybe
his distribution was not as good as it could have been.
It felt like he was the comparisons to Kobe young Kobe.
Maybe appropriate moment, I'm like, you may want to pass it.
I know you've got the skills to pay the bills,
but maybe this is these are the heart aches you
have to learn to sort of begin to say like,
(06:52):
eitherre are times when I can do it and there's
times when I have to, you know, dish the ball. Yeah,
it just makes them easier to defend at a certain point,
if you know, like I mean that's how they stole
it from him at the end, because they knew he
was going to try and get a shot up American
Academy of Pediatrics. What are they saying. What are those
assholes saying. They're saying, Hey, if you're over aged two,
(07:13):
you need to mask the funk up. Um. That's that's
their new take. Yeah, it's just sort of generally what
they are saying. You know, um, just don't don't don't
think that. Uh, you know it just with all the
these new variants going around and vaccination rates that they are,
just don't chance it. Protect yourself. It's it's not it's
(07:36):
it's not worth it. Um. But yeah, it's it's it's
definitely a bit of a sort of a quick quick
check of where we are because you know, schools are
about to open and things like that, and they're saying
regardless of vaccination status, when if if we're going full reopening,
like we should be doing this. So yeah, yeah, Heraldo's trending,
(07:57):
which is always an Adventures trending, was was new. He's
has been on this. You know, he's recently been showing
that he he definitely agrees with that. You know, the
certain elements of the partentn No, he agrees that the
pandemic is deadly and we need to protect ourselves. In
the way to do that, it's with being vaccinated and
also understanding the threat that unvaccinated people posed to just
(08:20):
the general public safety. And he just tweeted this, and
this tweet just blew up because everyone's like, I am
agreeing with Horaldo because normally he's on Fox saying other nonsense,
but he says hearing crazy talk on cable TV right
now about folks having the constitutional right not to get vaccinated. Yes,
they may be dopey, but they do have that right.
We have rights to to deny the unvaccinated access to
(08:41):
our home, school, or business, and people like right it.
You know that, don't I got rights? Works in a
few different directions. Huh. Shout out to Haraldo. That's gonna
be probably the only time we ever say that. I'm
wondering which cable TV channels he's hearing that crazy talk on,
(09:04):
probably one, possibly be the one that he worked for. Um. Wow,
all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
and we're back, and there have been there's a follow
(09:24):
up to the story we covered after England's heartbreaking loss
and penalty kicks, the English soccer team or soccer whatever
was saying like you need to I'm just gonna let
you take this mouse. No, dude, you're killing it. The
English soccer team whatever, they're like, you do something about
this man. So yeah, the English f A obviously was imploring,
(09:48):
you know, the government law enforcement to do something about
all this racial abuse that was being hurled at black
players like Jaden Sancho, Buka Osako, Marcus Rashford, and they're
so far there's been five arrests um where they have
were able to like just sort of connect the dots
back to real people. There's like one kid who got
like that that's like got his scholarship taken away for
(10:09):
like the verbal or racial insults that were being hurled
online as well. So it looks like they're they're they've
got something going. It just seems like it's like the
rest five, Like I feel like you'd have to rest
millions of people like right if we're going there, So
I don't. I mean, I hope it's effective. I guess
maybe these people are being having examples being made out
(10:31):
of them, right, But ship it's more than you'll see
in this country. Um, So that's that's interesting to see.
At the very least, they're like, Okay, well we need
to address this in some way. Um, whether it's like
banning people for life from attending matches or whatever, but
just to sort of draw a line and say that
you cannot do this at all, this is unacceptable. Um.
(10:53):
But you know that the investigations continue. I'm sure the
libertarian and right wing people will will be totally reasonable
in response to this news and not and even just
like other people, just like how effective is that though?
Like can you is that the solution is like trying
to divert those resources to go like find people out
(11:13):
in the world. But I guess that would make someone
think twice. If you're in England all right and you
want to get racist on Twitter, hey, and if and
if you want to keep getting racist on Twitter, there's
there's plenty of other countries that won't do anything about it.
For year ago. Uh, Kelton Johnson is trending. Who is
not a household name. Um, this is part of our
(11:35):
Olympic coverage, by the way, we're now have a whole
section for it. So he is a player on the
San Antonio Spurs, who the coach of the USA basketball
team is Greg Popovich, who's the coach of the San
Antonio Spurs. He basically just like pulled one of his
like kinda you know, workman, like you know, the third
(11:57):
best player on a mediocre team. But who he was like,
this dude is kind of what we need for for
the team. Um, even though they have like Kevin Durant
and uh Dame Lillard in the back court. And so
he just pulled in Calton Johnson and they went from
losing to Nigeria and Australia to beating Spain, who's like
(12:18):
usually the other powerhouse. Um. So kind of it's interesting.
You know, you gotta treat it like a team and uh,
sometimes like role players or what you need. Yeah, especially
when you got a bunch of stars, like you need
someone's like I just need someone to come into a job,
like not somebody who's trying to you know, cement their
place in Olympics history. Because that was Vince Carter when
(12:39):
he dunked over that French dude, like directly over him.
That will never leave my mind. Yeah. Uh, And finally
we wanted to talk about this probably the most viral
story about the Olympics besides the spread of the virus
is uh, these beds, baby, you know what we're talking about,
beds made of cardboard. Uh. And the way it's being
(13:04):
covered is probably stop the athletes from bone in am
I right, ladies and gents. That's how we'll do it.
Make the beds be unfu So a couple of things
with that story. First of all, this is it's always
a red flag when the story seems to be getting
(13:24):
most of its run or like, gets its first coverage
from the New York Post, and that that's where this
one came through. And it's basically it started as American
runner Paul Kalimo tweeting, these beds are aimed at avoiding
intimacy among athletes, and you know this is just an athlete,
(13:45):
this is not an official uh, and then tweet too. Yeah.
It ends with like the crying laughing emoji. Um, I
I see no problem for distance runners, even four of
us can do. Uh. I'm not sure exactly already meant there,
but yeah, it's a crying, laughing emoji and the headline
for the New York Post athletes to sleep on quote
(14:07):
antisex cardboard beds at Olympic Games amid COVID. I mean
that's that's one way to take a tweet, a joke
tweet from a one of the athletes. Hey, but it
gets traction because it's it's sort of a novel idea
of like a chastity bed or something that's like the
second you start pumping, this thing's gonna fall apart, it's
(14:29):
gonna turn to bits. And like most people are making
jokes like uh, yeah, well, you know, do a Brooklyn
style with the mattress on the floor. Um, but you know,
I guess there's a lot of debate on how to
keep the athletes safe and if this is the way
to do it. But like it's when they say cardboard,
they're completely missing the part that like it's made of
like recycled cardboard, because like it's all about sustainability. So
(14:52):
after the games, like they can take those cardboard elements
of it and recycle them into like further paper goods
and things like that. And plus the design of this
pre dates COVID, so as much as we want to
sleep on a bunch of fucking pizza boxes, which I
think is like what it hits people's imagination when they
hear cardboard beds. And I'm sure the Sochi Games makes
(15:14):
gives us that imagination for like the most just Jankees
like living quarters because I remember the Sochi Olympics two
were like um because like remember like parts of the
like dormitories and the Olympic village like half finished and shipped.
Like people got trapped because in like part in one
room and part in the other, like just like oh damn,
(15:35):
we put the wall in the middle of the shower. Um. Yeah,
I mean when you look at the picture of the quarters, um,
it definitely looks very spartan, very Uh there's two beds
and two dressers and that's all you got. Um. So,
I don't know, it looks it looks like freshman year
(15:56):
of college a little bit. Yeah, you know, look like
a door where they're making sure that the students aren't
boning by being on real rickety old beds. Yeah. People
are like picturing the Dennis ned Drew Like we'll start
start playing if you try and have sex on the bed, uh,
and it just collapses on you. This bed isn't for boning. Uh,
(16:21):
stay you're ass in your own room. But it's funny
because like another there was an Irish gymnast who posted
a video of them just like jumping on the bed
to be like yo, you can funck on here basically,
or like they're not flimsy, they're just it's a stupid
headline that just turned into a whole thing. But again,
these Olympics are such a disaster. I'll believe everything the
(16:42):
second I read it, Like if you know, it's like,
oh my god, it's like there's they have a horsehair problem.
There's like a bunch of horsehair everywhere. We don't know
where it's coming from, like seat right, games are goofy.
That's also a good way of that Irish gymnast too,
you know, put it out there that he's he's entertaining
offers exactly you know my bed works why I um
(17:07):
and I think the you know, if you're not familiar
with the whole, I'm sure most people are the the
whole trope of the Olympics being like a like one
big orgy. Uh. You got the ninety four winner Olympics
where an alpine skier said two German bob's letters offered
to trade their medals for sexual favors. Uh. An unauthorized
(17:30):
brothel reported at the two thousand Games in Sydney as
opposed to the authorized brothel. I guess a hot tub
orgy at the Vancouver Games in two thousand ten. Uh,
sex right out in the open at the Lending Games
in the open. Yeah, And that's a direct quote. And
an American javelin thrower admitted having sex with three women
(17:51):
every single day, sometimes just hours apart. I don't know
if we can say admitted. I think that's bragged and
possibly made up, having sex with three women every single day.
But um, hey, you know a man, Americans, you know
number one. Yeah, especially the the idea that it's they're American.
(18:12):
Come on, yeah, dude. I was like, dude, like three
a day, dud alright, I'm gonna own up to it.
I'm not proud of this, but um yeah, like three
a day. And they were all like, dude, you're the
best at sex, and also like I feel so bad. Yeah,
they're all saying like, honestly, if they were like a
gold medal for like sex, like you would have got that. Obviously,
(18:35):
like your javelin throwing skills aren't as great, but like
the sex is good. So I think they're I think
they're telling truth, all right. Well, those are the things
that are trending this afternoon. We are back tomorrow with
a whole s episode of the show. Until then, be
kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the
fucking vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy. We'll talk
(18:57):
to you all tomorrow. Bye bye them The Doctor Patter

this man. So yeah, the English f A obviously was imploring,
(09:48):
you know, the government law enforcement to do something about
all this racial abuse that was being hurled at black
players like Jaden Sancho, Buka Osako, Marcus Rashford, and they're
so far there's been five arrests um where they have
were able to like just sort of connect the dots
back to real people. There's like one kid who got
like that that's like got his scholarship taken away for
(10:09):
like the verbal or racial insults that were being hurled
online as well. So it looks like they're they're they've
got something going. It just seems like it's like the
rest five, Like I feel like you'd have to rest
millions of people like right if we're going there, So
I don't. I mean, I hope it's effective. I guess
maybe these people are being having examples being made out
(10:31):
of them, right, But ship it's more than you'll see
in this country. Um, So that's that's interesting to see.
At the very least, they're like, Okay, well we need
to address this in some way. Um, whether it's like
banning people for life from attending matches or whatever, but
just to sort of draw a line and say that
you cannot do this at all, this is unacceptable. Um.
(10:53):
But you know that the investigations continue. I'm sure the
libertarian and right wing people will will be totally reasonable
in response to this news and not and even just
like other people, just like how effective is that though?
Like can you is that the solution is like trying
to divert those resources to go like find people out
(11:13):
in the world. But I guess that would make someone
think twice. If you're in England all right and you
want to get racist on Twitter, hey, and if and
if you want to keep getting racist on Twitter, there's
there's plenty of other countries that won't do anything about it.
For year ago. Uh, Kelton Johnson is trending. Who is
not a household name. Um, this is part of our
(11:35):
Olympic coverage, by the way, we're now have a whole
section for it. So he is a player on the
San Antonio Spurs, who the coach of the USA basketball
team is Greg Popovich, who's the coach of the San
Antonio Spurs. He basically just like pulled one of his
like kinda you know, workman, like you know, the third
(11:57):
best player on a mediocre team. But who he was like,
this dude is kind of what we need for for
the team. Um, even though they have like Kevin Durant
and uh Dame Lillard in the back court. And so
he just pulled in Calton Johnson and they went from
losing to Nigeria and Australia to beating Spain, who's like
(12:18):
usually the other powerhouse. Um. So kind of it's interesting.
You know, you gotta treat it like a team and uh,
sometimes like role players or what you need. Yeah, especially
when you got a bunch of stars, like you need
someone's like I just need someone to come into a job,
like not somebody who's trying to you know, cement their
place in Olympics history. Because that was Vince Carter when
(12:39):
he dunked over that French dude, like directly over him.
That will never leave my mind. Yeah. Uh, And finally
we wanted to talk about this probably the most viral
story about the Olympics besides the spread of the virus
is uh, these beds, baby, you know what we're talking about,
beds made of cardboard. Uh. And the way it's being
(13:04):
covered is probably stop the athletes from bone in am
I right, ladies and gents. That's how we'll do it.
Make the beds be unfu So a couple of things
with that story. First of all, this is it's always
a red flag when the story seems to be getting
(13:24):
most of its run or like, gets its first coverage
from the New York Post, and that that's where this
one came through. And it's basically it started as American
runner Paul Kalimo tweeting, these beds are aimed at avoiding
intimacy among athletes, and you know this is just an athlete,
(13:45):
this is not an official uh, and then tweet too. Yeah.
It ends with like the crying laughing emoji. Um, I
I see no problem for distance runners, even four of
us can do. Uh. I'm not sure exactly already meant there,
but yeah, it's a crying, laughing emoji and the headline
for the New York Post athletes to sleep on quote
(14:07):
antisex cardboard beds at Olympic Games amid COVID. I mean
that's that's one way to take a tweet, a joke
tweet from a one of the athletes. Hey, but it
gets traction because it's it's sort of a novel idea
of like a chastity bed or something that's like the
second you start pumping, this thing's gonna fall apart, it's
(14:29):
gonna turn to bits. And like most people are making
jokes like uh, yeah, well, you know, do a Brooklyn
style with the mattress on the floor. Um, but you know,
I guess there's a lot of debate on how to
keep the athletes safe and if this is the way
to do it. But like it's when they say cardboard,
they're completely missing the part that like it's made of
like recycled cardboard, because like it's all about sustainability. So
(14:52):
after the games, like they can take those cardboard elements
of it and recycle them into like further paper goods
and things like that. And plus the design of this
pre dates COVID, so as much as we want to
sleep on a bunch of fucking pizza boxes, which I
think is like what it hits people's imagination when they
hear cardboard beds. And I'm sure the Sochi Games makes
(15:14):
gives us that imagination for like the most just Jankees
like living quarters because I remember the Sochi Olympics two
were like um because like remember like parts of the
like dormitories and the Olympic village like half finished and shipped.
Like people got trapped because in like part in one
room and part in the other, like just like oh damn,
(15:35):
we put the wall in the middle of the shower. Um. Yeah,
I mean when you look at the picture of the quarters, um,
it definitely looks very spartan, very Uh there's two beds
and two dressers and that's all you got. Um. So,
I don't know, it looks it looks like freshman year
(15:56):
of college a little bit. Yeah, you know, look like
a door where they're making sure that the students aren't
boning by being on real rickety old beds. Yeah. People
are like picturing the Dennis ned Drew Like we'll start
start playing if you try and have sex on the bed, uh,
and it just collapses on you. This bed isn't for boning. Uh,
(16:21):
stay you're ass in your own room. But it's funny
because like another there was an Irish gymnast who posted
a video of them just like jumping on the bed
to be like yo, you can funck on here basically,
or like they're not flimsy, they're just it's a stupid
headline that just turned into a whole thing. But again,
these Olympics are such a disaster. I'll believe everything the
(16:42):
second I read it, Like if you know, it's like,
oh my god, it's like there's they have a horsehair problem.
There's like a bunch of horsehair everywhere. We don't know
where it's coming from, like seat right, games are goofy.
That's also a good way of that Irish gymnast too,
you know, put it out there that he's he's entertaining
offers exactly you know my bed works why I um
(17:07):
and I think the you know, if you're not familiar
with the whole, I'm sure most people are the the
whole trope of the Olympics being like a like one
big orgy. Uh. You got the ninety four winner Olympics
where an alpine skier said two German bob's letters offered
to trade their medals for sexual favors. Uh. An unauthorized
(17:30):
brothel reported at the two thousand Games in Sydney as
opposed to the authorized brothel. I guess a hot tub
orgy at the Vancouver Games in two thousand ten. Uh,
sex right out in the open at the Lending Games
in the open. Yeah, And that's a direct quote. And
an American javelin thrower admitted having sex with three women
(17:51):
every single day, sometimes just hours apart. I don't know
if we can say admitted. I think that's bragged and
possibly made up, having sex with three women every single day.
But um, hey, you know a man, Americans, you know
number one. Yeah, especially the the idea that it's they're American.
(18:12):
Come on, yeah, dude. I was like, dude, like three
a day, dud alright, I'm gonna own up to it.
I'm not proud of this, but um yeah, like three
a day. And they were all like, dude, you're the
best at sex, and also like I feel so bad. Yeah,
they're all saying like, honestly, if they were like a
gold medal for like sex, like you would have got that. Obviously,
(18:35):
like your javelin throwing skills aren't as great, but like
the sex is good. So I think they're I think
they're telling truth, all right. Well, those are the things
that are trending this afternoon. We are back tomorrow with
a whole s episode of the show. Until then, be
kind to each other, be kind to yourselves, get the
fucking vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy. We'll talk
(18:57):
to you all tomorrow. Bye bye them The Doctor Patter
