Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of Zeiderman
into the trender Verse. That one comes courtesy of the
brilliant Miles Gray. I am Jack. I am joined by
Miles Gray, and he will only be making that noise
the whole episode, and that's how he will be communicating.
(00:20):
And our first topic creeping inequality. Okay, okay, it's getting
a little bit bad now, oh, I mean, basically our
first story is Chicago Public Schools because the leaders of
Chicago's public schools canceled classes today on Wedness Day, following
a Tuesday vote by the Chicago Teachers Union to return
(00:43):
to remote learning aimed the continued spread of the Amicron
COVID nineteen variant um. In case you're noticing that that
this is not how I talk. I am reading a
summary from a from a news from website from Google website.
I think people heard a podcast before or where people
are thinks from a computer? Hey, Miles, just holding their hand.
You know, it's probably got some new listeners in two
(01:06):
who just went home for the holiday has heard about
podcasts and made en did that New Year's resolution to
listen to this second rate show. Welcome one and all, um, Yeah,
I was. There have been a few, like Chicago teacher
Twitter I remember was blowing up yesterday and on Monday
with like teachers and disbelief over like some of the
decisions that like school administrators were making as it related
(01:29):
to them being in the building in person fully packed
with the omicron variant just exploding and like like this
one charter school that this one teacher at a charter
school said, like the administrators like locked all the teachers
out of their Google accounts so they couldn't teach remote
even if they tried. That's like, what is It's just
so weird when like the decision here is about everyone's safety. Yeah, um,
(01:55):
but it's anyway, so we're back to this part of
the pandemic too, or we're watching, you know, case numbers
go up and everyone's like nigell, like do we not
carry on? Like there's no highly transmissible virus out there? Yeah,
I mean what what we had talked about from the
beginning is kind of coming to pass that this is
(02:16):
a less severe version of COVID, but it doesn't matter
because it is so highly contagious and so many people
have it that, yeah, you play the numbers game and
if like only ten people would get really sick out
of a hundred with another one and maybe it's less,
but then you extrapolate that to millions. Yeah, you have
the potential to overwhelm the hospitals. Again, but COVID cases
(02:39):
in the US on January four two or eighty five thousand,
it was two thousand, and then deaths are two thousand,
three hundred sixty six this year and two thousand last year.
So it's yeah, even though that is proportion least smaller,
(03:01):
that doesn't matter because people are dying out here. Yea.
And I think the other misconception A lot of people
have had to come to grips, so, especially people I
know who are vaccinated and even boosted and got sick.
Was like, and the thing I always find myself telling
people even that are vaccinateds like, well, I'm vaccinated. So
it's like, that's not the that's not it. It's not
to prevent you from even catching at all. It's preventing
(03:23):
you from a very serious illness that would take you
to the hospital. That's the point of this vaccine, not
fucking carte blanche to act like it's and yeah, there
are plenty, I mean, I see constantly anecdotes from people
who are saying, if this is mild, yeah, what the
funk is spicy? The Pope is trending. This is this
(03:47):
just made me picture how funny the pope's life is,
because he just sits around and is just like, I
don't know, just like judges things. It's just likeificating. Literally,
I guess that's why that word exists. So Pope Francis
today has criticized couples who chose who choose to have
(04:09):
pets instead of children as selfish, arguing that their decision
to forego parenthood leads to a loss of humanity and
is a detriment to civilization. So that's what that's just
popped into his head, isn't this pope down with LGBTQ people,
people who do not procreate are leading to a loss
(04:31):
of humanity. But you like, well, how do you square
that with all this other ship? And also, like we've
as someone who's so aware of like the fragile ecosystem
that we live in on this planet. You know, some
people philosophically believe they don't want to contribute to increasing
the population, and that's fine, that's their decision that they've
(04:54):
made based on that, Like that's in a way that
seems very altruistic. Actually, um, but whatever, Pope. You know
that's why I love checking the Pope. You say one thing,
You're like, hey, say anything like men s fool is
he's got a big old hat on. He doesn't like
he just needs to wear the big hat like it's
at a certain it's kind of like in good Will
(05:14):
Hunting how everyone's mad, Like his friends are mad at
good Will Hunting, as I call him, because he isn't
taking advantage of like the opportunities given to him. We're
all pissed at you for not taking advantage of the
fact that you can where you're the only person who
can wear that ridiculous fucking hat and you're not doing
anywhere like like hey, no hats in here, say that's
(05:37):
just the Pope the Pope hat. Every day I wake
up and Google image search the Pope, and every day
I'm disappointed not to see a new era Yankee fitted.
But but Pope, you know, I feel like someone needs
to do that, like for fun visits when they're like
(05:59):
they do a local version of the Pope hat for them,
So like, yo, you come to l a we'll get
you like the half Laker, half Dodger fitted with the
palm trees embroidered in it, but with that like teardrop shape,
you know what I mean? Yeah, I see without his hat,
he's just Francis. Yeah, Frank, sorry, Pope, Frank. Homer Plessy
is trending. Louisiana's governor acted lightning quick and on Wednesday
(06:25):
posthumously pardoned Homer Plessy, the black man who was arrested
for refusing to leave a white's only railroad car and
eight two, which of course led to the Supreme Court
ruling that cemented an apartheid separate but equal US law.
I mean, just part of a group of you know,
(06:45):
civil rights people who wanted to prevent this kind of
segregation and arrested. And I this is the thing that
I'm also like when I read, I'm like, if you're
saying like it was bullshit for him to be arrested, right,
then is a pardon the exact thing you're doing because
it sounds like Homer Plessy was an innocent man, and
(07:08):
so Pardons suggests guilt. And I feel like lawyers on
the internet have been debating this too. Just like then
it's an acquittal or it's like you're the decision to
pardon is like already a presupposing that he was guilty.
Quick yeah, like whatever. But I guess that's the word,
the buzzword that makes it easy for people to say.
It's like the legal version of our bad a hundred
(07:30):
thirty years later, if you had just said pardon me,
you know, we could have avoided all this, right, golly golly,
what's next? Anyways? You know, shout out to them for
jumping on this one quickly. Yeah, uh and yeah, goodness,
especially when we're in a time where we're watching the
(07:51):
new Jim Crow you know, rear its ugly little head again. Yeah,
we are gonna watch. One of us is gonna watch
Don't Look Up. Another is gonna watch Matrix four. I've
I've seen the requests for us to watch these movies.
A lot of people watched on Netflix uder The Break.
So I'm gonna I'm dropping Coin and Jack, You and
I will just be two of us in a movie theater. Yeah,
(08:14):
watch Matrix four. No one else can come. But yeah,
those are both both movies where the descriptions from people,
even people who don't like it, are pretty intriguing. Super
producer Brian described the Matrix for as the Gremlins too
of Matrix movies. Yeah, like that's very intriguing to me. Um,
(08:39):
and don't look up. I haven't heard a like glowing review. Yeah,
everyone's all the writeups are very conflicted. Yeah, we're like
I get like, like, we get why some people don't
like you. But it's important to the conversation of you know,
the this whole. I don't know, it's just it seems
that people are are split on it. But the one
(09:01):
thing is they like to say it's a good for
the discourse, right against. Super producer Brian Uh, coming with
the fire takes, said that it feels like a movie
that would have come out in and been like okay,
all right and then like gone bad by now. Uh,
(09:22):
and they just happen to release it eight years later.
By the way, what are your thoughts on Banksy? Not
not by the way, but uh, what do you mean
do you do you think banks like? Banksy feels very nine. Yeah,
(09:42):
but that's what I'm saying, Like there's a banks He
exhibited in l A right now. Banks He's very Yeah,
banks He feels very like dated to me and like we,
I don't know, like we it feels like Obama and
banks you should be like hanging out together, real living
Obama and Banksy, like oh yeah, yeah, yeah for sure,
(10:02):
like like yeah, there was a time when I was
just like, yeah, that's cool, like my heroes. You know,
someone had those dueling posters up in the UM Yeah,
I don't. I mean, I'm more I'm more interested in
who banks he actually is than the art at this point.
(10:24):
I'm more intrigued that I was able to keep that
under wraps for so long. And I know a lot
of people suspect it could be like someone in poored
his head or a few other things like trying to
track like show times and when like artworks are appearing.
But yeah, I don't know um or it's like a collective.
I I just don't The art itself, I think was
fun at the time when it was purely just like
(10:46):
the like graffiti stencil stuff that was like sort of
you know, fucking with our interpretation of like sort of
iconic imagery. And then the sculpture stuff was like, you know, coolish,
thought provoking. But I don't know for I think for
me it was almost like it was just like the
most highbrow version of jackass. Ye jackass, and like memory
(11:07):
like it feels like means like yeah, yeah, because in
a way, I mean, yeah, very simple, like you completely
understand what the messages based on the juxtaposition of it all. Um.
But yeah, I mean like it feels like something now
because like I remember going to someone's house in like
two thousand seven who had a bank see, and they
were like so fucking like, yeah I got this bank
(11:29):
see and like they spent a ton, like, you know,
hundreds of thousands of dollars on it. And I just
think of like what that looks like in a room now, Yeah,
like you're going, you're like, this isn't timeless art, right,
it looks like a busted teas framed on your right right. Yeah. Um,
all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right
(11:49):
back and we're back. Uh. And I was just thinking,
you know, if banks he was really trying to hide
their identity, it would be a very good move to say,
(12:12):
make fun of Banksy on their second rate podcast. I'm
just saying I might be Banksy. Um uh, someone who
I'm pretty sure isn't banks Thanks Mary Garland, you never know.
Uh Yeah, so he had an update uh the day
before UM jan six, just mostly anticipating the daily's Like, guys,
(12:36):
January six, the anniversary episode, UM seem yeah, Juniversitary six,
But what what else did you have to say? I mean,
it was just an update on like just the general
pace of what's happening at the do O J and
their investigation into January six, and that the facts or
whatever and we'll go to the highest levels. And rhetorically
(13:01):
it sounded okay, but like there seems like I'm there's
a lot of discussion around people being like this is
horseship or people been like few garlands on top of it.
I was not as optimistic as some people as I
just heard him say things that I already knew. Um.
And to this point, we've not really seen the kinds
(13:23):
of repercussions for people that are involved in this that
would look like, oh this this would actually probably um
prevent someone from wanting to get involved with something like
this again, or make them second guess what it means
to try and openly overthrow a government. But so I
don't know, man, that the clock is just fucking ticking
(13:44):
on this thing. And it felt like this ship had
to be done the second Joe Biden was in office. Um,
because we want like people literally watched this thing happen
and to say like I don't know, like we gotta
follow the facts like that. That's okay, Well the house
will already be burnt down by the time you figure
it out. Yeah. Yeah. Greg just told the Texas National
(14:04):
Guard that Biden is not their commander in chief, so
it seems like he's not your real dad. Yeah, we're
already headed there. The one thing is, like, I guess,
for all the things that would make me feel good,
it would be if the do O J could actually
articulate that the problem with this whole January six thing
is that white supremacist violence is being transformed and mutated
(14:27):
into fascism at Trump's behest. But they won't say that
because it's like, well, then they're just gonna create all
this perception that like we're out to get them. Uh huh. Yeah,
people who are like I I don't know what else
you do, like for people who are openly committing these
kinds of crimes like that you're worried about the optics. Yeah,
(14:48):
but again, we're dealing with structures that are unable to
contend with the problems that it's created. The phrase rampant
raw doggery was trading because that is how Bossip described
Tristan Thompson's behavior, and that's poetry. So I mean Bossip
well known. I believe their subheader used to be straight
Henny no coke um because letting you know what you're
(15:12):
gonna get on Bossip, the Black Gossip site, rampant raw doggery.
I dotted my cap. Indeed, such rampant raw doggery. So
I have you know, um very shakespeareance. Yeah, Cassi beyond
meat that is going nationwide. And so this is their
(15:36):
plant based or not meat based alternative, and it's not vegan,
nor is it even vegetarian, because they will be frying
it in the same batter that they fry their chickens in.
Look the same we mean, same friars, the same friars.
Yeah wait really yeah, Okay, that's that's like in the
(15:59):
chain's kitchen cheating. You're cheating a little bit for the
chain confirmed the next star, you know what I mean. Like,
that's cheating because you're getting the meat flavor indirect, you're
getting it from the oil. Now yeah, like I we
we still have to wait and see what the Pope
says about this, but like, where are you to go vegan?
Is the thing that you would be going vegan for
(16:20):
the health benefits or like just straight up like you like,
how much does that bother you? If it's kind of cheating,
you're kind of getting flavor. But it's I mean, if
if if it were that it was just based yet
to just cut down my meat consumption, I wouldn't care.
Like I'm not, I'm not as philosophically tied to the
idea of like never having I mean that's a very
(16:42):
specific I'm not specific, but I think they're vegans who
will choose to be meatless and occasionally, like I'm not
gonna trip if there was like bone broth or something.
But it all depends on how your strict adherents. I
guess in the long term, I'm saying, you know, a
little grease never hurt nobody, little little beef alo never
hurt the fries and McDonald's. Like, I would be more
(17:04):
likely to want to um alienate other vegans where I
had to go vegan rather than like try and be
their version of a good vegan. Um that's just an
abomination completely are these your rules, Like you're not vegan then? Ah?
(17:26):
Or am I no? Mm hmm no, we shall see.
Djokovic trending got a vaccine exemption for the Australian Open. Uh.
For people who aren't tennis heads, it's like the best
tennis player on on Earth right now. He's the Australian
Open defending champ and he's real dipshit and the Australian
(17:50):
the Australian Open is like, hey, you know it's important
that you're here, so we'll give you a vaccine exemption
for your religion of stupidity. They also know you got
a medical exemption. You're like, I'm sorry, this guy is
the number one tennis but oh and he's in dire health.
But is their thing like that he's bulletproof because he's
(18:13):
in such good health that like, we don't care if
he carries the disease and harms people anyways. Uh. There
there was some speculation he was being held in a
room at the Melbourne Airport UH with police out front
after landing there. Um. His father said that there was
(18:34):
a visa mix up that could jeopardize his entry into
the country. So unclear. It doesn't seem like the Australian
Open or Australia is like reversing course. Uh, this could
be a soft reverse course where they're like, actually, what
happened is the paperwork got screwed up. Therefore nobody has offended,
right right, right? But whatever, Yeah, who gives it? Just
(18:58):
fucking why do you ever rules? If you allow whatever,
that's the world where rules are for only like most people,
unless you have a lot of money. Yeah. It does
feel like another example of the world bringing itself to
the dumb instead of trying to bring the dumb to
the world. What's his thing again? He he didn't say
(19:19):
he's not vaccinated. He's been anti vax before COVID right right, right, yeah, yeah,
he's one of them. But he didn't do the thing
where he was like being coy about his like vaccination
status like he did. Yeah, actually, I'm sorry. I should
not have said he's antivax or he just has not
revealed his vaccination status. It could be that he got vaccinated. Guys,
(19:42):
we don't know. I don't know. What's under your shirt?
Is that a gun? I don't know? Let me getting
close to you. What fun that looks like? A guy?
I don't know? Tell me right now, show me what's
under there. I am not gonna show you what's under
it's and I'm not gonna say what it could or
could not be. Oh man, I'm tired of this ship.
Mm hmm. Yeah, good thing. This is a good thing.
(20:04):
It's almost in the day of the air of us
doing this show. Uh yeah, good thing. The Pandemics almost over.
Should be a smooth one from here on out. But
we are going to watch Matrix four yeah, because that
we may just end up. That may be the new
way to experience reality. The metaverse might not be too
far off. We're like, you know what, the only way
we can live is to be in pods separated from
(20:26):
each other. So don't get sick and we beam up
into VR. Could be the new batch. Yeah, um, alright,
well those are the things that are trending on this
January five two. We are back tomorrow with the whole
last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to
each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, even
(20:48):
if you're Djokovic, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and
we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye bye, on people,

By the way, what are your thoughts on Banksy? Not
not by the way, but uh, what do you mean
do you do you think banks like? Banksy feels very nine. Yeah,
(09:42):
but that's what I'm saying, Like there's a banks He
exhibited in l A right now. Banks He's very Yeah,
banks He feels very like dated to me and like we,
I don't know, like we it feels like Obama and
banks you should be like hanging out together, real living
Obama and Banksy, like oh yeah, yeah, yeah for sure,
(10:02):
like like yeah, there was a time when I was
just like, yeah, that's cool, like my heroes. You know,
someone had those dueling posters up in the UM Yeah,
I don't. I mean, I'm more I'm more interested in
who banks he actually is than the art at this point.
(10:24):
I'm more intrigued that I was able to keep that
under wraps for so long. And I know a lot
of people suspect it could be like someone in poored
his head or a few other things like trying to
track like show times and when like artworks are appearing.
But yeah, I don't know um or it's like a collective.
I I just don't The art itself, I think was
fun at the time when it was purely just like
(10:46):
the like graffiti stencil stuff that was like sort of
you know, fucking with our interpretation of like sort of
iconic imagery. And then the sculpture stuff was like, you know, coolish,
thought provoking. But I don't know for I think for
me it was almost like it was just like the
most highbrow version of jackass. Ye jackass, and like memory
(11:07):
like it feels like means like yeah, yeah, because in
a way, I mean, yeah, very simple, like you completely
understand what the messages based on the juxtaposition of it all. Um.
But yeah, I mean like it feels like something now
because like I remember going to someone's house in like
two thousand seven who had a bank see, and they
were like so fucking like, yeah I got this bank
(11:29):
see and like they spent a ton, like, you know,
hundreds of thousands of dollars on it. And I just
think of like what that looks like in a room now, Yeah,
like you're going, you're like, this isn't timeless art, right,
it looks like a busted teas framed on your right right. Yeah. Um,
all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right
(11:49):
back and we're back. Uh. And I was just thinking,
you know, if banks he was really trying to hide
their identity, it would be a very good move to say,
(12:12):
make fun of Banksy on their second rate podcast. I'm
just saying I might be Banksy. Um uh, someone who
I'm pretty sure isn't banks Thanks Mary Garland, you never know.
Uh Yeah, so he had an update uh the day
before UM jan six, just mostly anticipating the daily's Like, guys,
(12:36):
January six, the anniversary episode, UM seem yeah, Juniversitary six,
But what what else did you have to say? I mean,
it was just an update on like just the general
pace of what's happening at the do O J and
their investigation into January six, and that the facts or
whatever and we'll go to the highest levels. And rhetorically
(13:01):
it sounded okay, but like there seems like I'm there's
a lot of discussion around people being like this is
horseship or people been like few garlands on top of it.
I was not as optimistic as some people as I
just heard him say things that I already knew. Um.
And to this point, we've not really seen the kinds
(13:23):
of repercussions for people that are involved in this that
would look like, oh this this would actually probably um
prevent someone from wanting to get involved with something like
this again, or make them second guess what it means
to try and openly overthrow a government. But so I
don't know, man, that the clock is just fucking ticking
(13:44):
on this thing. And it felt like this ship had
to be done the second Joe Biden was in office. Um,
because we want like people literally watched this thing happen
and to say like I don't know, like we gotta
follow the facts like that. That's okay, Well the house
will already be burnt down by the time you figure
it out. Yeah. Yeah. Greg just told the Texas National
(14:04):
Guard that Biden is not their commander in chief, so
it seems like he's not your real dad. Yeah, we're
already headed there. The one thing is, like, I guess,
for all the things that would make me feel good,
it would be if the do O J could actually
articulate that the problem with this whole January six thing
is that white supremacist violence is being transformed and mutated
(14:27):
into fascism at Trump's behest. But they won't say that
because it's like, well, then they're just gonna create all
this perception that like we're out to get them. Uh huh. Yeah,
people who are like I I don't know what else
you do, like for people who are openly committing these
kinds of crimes like that you're worried about the optics. Yeah,
(14:48):
but again, we're dealing with structures that are unable to
contend with the problems that it's created. The phrase rampant
raw doggery was trading because that is how Bossip described
Tristan Thompson's behavior, and that's poetry. So I mean Bossip
well known. I believe their subheader used to be straight
Henny no coke um because letting you know what you're
(15:12):
gonna get on Bossip, the Black Gossip site, rampant raw doggery.
I dotted my cap. Indeed, such rampant raw doggery. So
I have you know, um very shakespeareance. Yeah, Cassi beyond
meat that is going nationwide. And so this is their
(15:36):
plant based or not meat based alternative, and it's not vegan,
nor is it even vegetarian, because they will be frying
it in the same batter that they fry their chickens in.
Look the same we mean, same friars, the same friars.
Yeah wait really yeah, Okay, that's that's like in the
(15:59):
chain's kitchen cheating. You're cheating a little bit for the
chain confirmed the next star, you know what I mean. Like,
that's cheating because you're getting the meat flavor indirect, you're
getting it from the oil. Now yeah, like I we
we still have to wait and see what the Pope
says about this, but like, where are you to go vegan?
Is the thing that you would be going vegan for
(16:20):
the health benefits or like just straight up like you like,
how much does that bother you? If it's kind of cheating,
you're kind of getting flavor. But it's I mean, if
if if it were that it was just based yet
to just cut down my meat consumption, I wouldn't care.
Like I'm not, I'm not as philosophically tied to the
idea of like never having I mean that's a very
(16:42):
specific I'm not specific, but I think they're vegans who
will choose to be meatless and occasionally, like I'm not
gonna trip if there was like bone broth or something.
But it all depends on how your strict adherents. I
guess in the long term, I'm saying, you know, a
little grease never hurt nobody, little little beef alo never
hurt the fries and McDonald's. Like, I would be more
(17:04):
likely to want to um alienate other vegans where I
had to go vegan rather than like try and be
their version of a good vegan. Um that's just an
abomination completely are these your rules, Like you're not vegan then? Ah?
(17:26):
Or am I no? Mm hmm no, we shall see.
Djokovic trending got a vaccine exemption for the Australian Open. Uh.
For people who aren't tennis heads, it's like the best
tennis player on on Earth right now. He's the Australian
Open defending champ and he's real dipshit and the Australian
(17:50):
the Australian Open is like, hey, you know it's important
that you're here, so we'll give you a vaccine exemption
for your religion of stupidity. They also know you got
a medical exemption. You're like, I'm sorry, this guy is
the number one tennis but oh and he's in dire health.
But is their thing like that he's bulletproof because he's
(18:13):
in such good health that like, we don't care if
he carries the disease and harms people anyways. Uh. There
there was some speculation he was being held in a
room at the Melbourne Airport UH with police out front
after landing there. Um. His father said that there was
(18:34):
a visa mix up that could jeopardize his entry into
the country. So unclear. It doesn't seem like the Australian
Open or Australia is like reversing course. Uh, this could
be a soft reverse course where they're like, actually, what
happened is the paperwork got screwed up. Therefore nobody has offended,
right right, right? But whatever, Yeah, who gives it? Just
(18:58):
fucking why do you ever rules? If you allow whatever,
that's the world where rules are for only like most people,
unless you have a lot of money. Yeah. It does
feel like another example of the world bringing itself to
the dumb instead of trying to bring the dumb to
the world. What's his thing again? He he didn't say
(19:19):
he's not vaccinated. He's been anti vax before COVID right right, right, yeah, yeah,
he's one of them. But he didn't do the thing
where he was like being coy about his like vaccination
status like he did. Yeah, actually, I'm sorry. I should
not have said he's antivax or he just has not
revealed his vaccination status. It could be that he got vaccinated. Guys,
(19:42):
we don't know. I don't know. What's under your shirt?
Is that a gun? I don't know? Let me getting
close to you. What fun that looks like? A guy?
I don't know? Tell me right now, show me what's
under there. I am not gonna show you what's under
it's and I'm not gonna say what it could or
could not be. Oh man, I'm tired of this ship.
Mm hmm. Yeah, good thing. This is a good thing.
(20:04):
It's almost in the day of the air of us
doing this show. Uh yeah, good thing. The Pandemics almost over.
Should be a smooth one from here on out. But
we are going to watch Matrix four yeah, because that
we may just end up. That may be the new
way to experience reality. The metaverse might not be too
far off. We're like, you know what, the only way
we can live is to be in pods separated from
(20:26):
each other. So don't get sick and we beam up
into VR. Could be the new batch. Yeah, um, alright,
well those are the things that are trending on this
January five two. We are back tomorrow with the whole
last episode of the show. Until then, be kind to
each other, be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, even
(20:48):
if you're Djokovic, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and
we will talk to y'all tomorrow. Bye bye, on people,
